Exercise is very important for patients with Parkinson’s Disease. The problem is that people who have PD (Parkinson’s Disease) need special attention. With PD, the neurological system isn’t functioning properly. Movement patterns are often very uncoordinated and rigid, and this is only one of the symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease. The medical community has put most of its research into pharmacology (medications) to help alleviate the side effects of Parkinson’s Disease. While that is important, very little research has been done on the issue of how to improve and restore the PD patient’s motor skills. As a NeuroKinetic Therapist, I use NKT (NeuroKinetic Therapy) to help understand how muscles work and how the body moves in patterns. The kinetic Chain is joints and segments that affect one another during movement throughout the body.
When we are not moving properly, our nervous system tries to compensate and therefore often alters our movement patterns. This is called an imbalance. This can lead to pain, injuries, and postural problems. People with PD have tremendous imbalance due to their dysfunctional and degenerating movement patterns. If initiated in the early stages, NKT can help a person with Parkinson’s Disease.
Common issues of PD that NKT can help:
- Breathing is an often big issue for people with PD. Parkinson’s Disease affects the diaphragm. When the diaphragm is not working properly, a person has trouble getting air properly to their lungs.
- Loss of strength in the prime movers (large muscles) of the body, such as the back, quadriceps, chest, shoulders, arms, and calves. These muscles are responsible for movement. They are very important muscles for daily activities and active lifestyles.
- Poor reaction time can affect people with PD causing falls, slips, and accidents.
- Healthy functioning feet are very important and when we lose proper movement we start to compensate in our feet. This causes many dysfunctions in other parts of our bodies, such as neck pain, poor posture, balance and gait issues.
- One of the side effects of PD is stiffness and rigidity. Making sure people with PD that their muscles are working together as a unit.
- Loss of hand and grip strength is very common in people with PD. Poor hand mechanics can alter the shoulder, neck, and core stability. NKT assesses these dysfunctions and might clear many movement issues.
- Eyes have a connection with many movement patterns of the body. Many people try to compensate for movement with their eyes. Which can lead to many movement dysfunctions?
- Scars cause tremendous disruption with movement and pain. They rank very high with the NKT assessments. Scars down-regulate muscle tissue, facia, and the body’s proper movement patterns.
Have a fitness professional( corrective exercise specialist) along with an NKT practitioner can help a person with PD in many ways. The key to starting an exercise program is to know what your weaknesses and limitations are.
When starting a fitness or a physical therapy program. It is very important for a complete examination. Assessing the client with all past or current injuries. Movement issues, and pain.

Many veterinarians in Canada are facing extreme burnout and declining mental health
Veterinarians in Canada say they are experiencing plummeting mental health due to staff shortages, a booming number of animal patients and the round-the-clock stress of the job.
Neil Pothier, a veterinarian since 1985, says caring for animals has never been easy, but it's a job he has always loved.
But these days, work hours at his animal hospital in Digby, Nova Scotia, are longer than ever, and he says his peers are talking about burning out and wanting to quit.
Pothier believes the mental health of vets has been strained by a pandemic boom in pet numbers and a shortage of veterinary staff.
He says the job, which in many rural areas comes with 24-hour emergency care, has become more stressful since his career began.

Kingston-On-Murray Primary School: Kingston-On-Murray Caravan Park
Bottle number: 54
About the water
Collected at: Murray River, Kingston-on-Murray Caravan Park jetty, Kingston-on-Murray, South Australia
Latitude: 34° 13', Longitude: 140° 20'
Collected by: Kingston-On-Murray Primary School
We started collecting our Waterwatch data at Kingston-on-Murray Caravan Park jetty around 2002.
We chose this site because it was the safest jetty and nearest to the school.
We need a jetty so then it's easier to collect water without stirring up the mud which may affect our turbidity and salinity readings.
ACT Waterwatch says:
These students are doing a great job. While they are thinking a lot about turbidity, a question begging answering is 'Why are the phosphates so high?'
About the site
Kingston-On-Murray Caravan Park was first built in 1974. Peter and Lisa Kollmann took over the park in May 2007. On the river front of the park they have a jetty and four canoes. The river is for the canoes and people fish off the bank as well as leaving there boats at the jetty.
What's going on:
The water level doesn't change that much because of Lock 3 at Overland Corner. The plants and growth have died but some of it has survived. Some of the river banks have become loose and fallen into the river, which can change the turbidity and the readings we get. The way we tell that the water level has changed is that there is a drowned tree with a hole in it and we see if the hole is bigger, smaller or not there at all. The reeds are starting to grow towards the end of the jetty and there is a lot more weed growing in the river.
Each week we test the turbidity and salinity for our weekly ABC radio report and once a term we do a water watch snap shot.

Gambro/Baxter05 Dec 2012
EQT-backed Swedish medical equipment maker accepts $4bn Baxter bid
US medical equipment maker Baxter International on Tuesday announced an agreement to buy Swedish rival Gambro from Investor AB and EQT for SEK26.5bn (€3.06bn), allowing the investment firms to exit the business after a six-year ownership.
According to its website, EQT owns 51% of Gambro, having acquired the 48-year-old company alongside the investment and holding company backed by Sweden's Wallenberg family for $4.7bn.
However, that figure isn't comparable with the $4bn price tag in part because Gambro has since sold a business called CaridianBCT to Terumo of Japan for $2.6bn and shed another business that operates dialysis clinics.
The private equity firms would ultimately make a total return of more than 40% on their Gambro investment if this deal goes through, according to figures they presented in a separate statement. JP Morgan Chase advised Baxter. Goldman Sachs advised the sellers.

Margaret Nygard, who died in 1995, was for thirty years a tireless fighter in protecting the Eno River Valley against urban encroachment and unsound environmental policies.
Rising in Orange County, the Eno River flows thirty miles before merging with the Flat and Little rivers to form the Neuse. Yet this small river has been fought over by developers who wanted to exploit it and environmentalists who wanted to preserve it. In 1965, Margaret Nygard helped organize the Association for the Preservation of the Eno River, a group that defeated every attempt to spoil the river. Today the Eno River State Park stands as a monument to their perseverance.

Teachers fear transgender students become ‘political nest’ of GOP debt
Heather Hughes, a music and maths teacher at a private school in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, said the 16-year-old student pulled out his phone Monday afternoon and announced he was Gov. Asa Hutchinson voted on a bill that would prevent transgender minorities from accessing gender-based health care.
Hughes said it shows that young people understand the national dialogue about the changing youth, which focuses on a wave of government debt that seeks to curtail their access to change-related and sports-related medical care.
“They get that, and they understand enough that they can be like, ‘This is a bad idea,'” Hughes said of his students. “They think it’s a signature. They do not understand why it is such a big deal in the beginning, such as why you bother to make these payments, so whenever they are exposed, they are very angry. ”
Another student, 15, spoke to Hughes last week about how they want to start testosterone soon. But on Tuesday, the Arkansas Legislature passed Hutchinson’s veto, and the state is now ready to be the first to ban gender-based care for minors.
The law prohibits insurance schemes from covering or reimbursing the costs of transition-related care for minors, including adolescent prevention and hormones. After it started operating this summer, Hughes’ student will not be able to use testosterone without paying for it in a pocket, which Hughes says is “impossible to give their status.”

Sincerely Heather Hughes
Hughes, who is also a trader, called the Arkansas law “unreasonable” and said it “opens the door to additional restrictions.” He said his doctor told him that part of the law would explicitly allow private insurance companies in the state to refuse to cover gender-based care for transfers of people of any age.
“We’re already getting a price on so many things and we’re already dealing with enough – why make it so bad?”
Hughes is one of 17,300 educators in the U.S. and Canada who signed a letter to President Joe Biden on Monday asking him to do more to address the wave of government debt targeted at transgender youth. Currently there are 20 states that have introduced bills that will prevent or limit transitional care for young passers-by, according to the ACLU, and more than 30 have introduced measures that would prevent student athletes from competing with school sports teams based on their gender identity. According to the Movement Advancement Project, five provinces – Arkansas, Idaho, Mississippi, Tennessee and South Dakota – have passed such a law, although a federal judge ordered Idaho’s law to take effect last August.
Harper Keenan, an assistant professor in the Department of Education and Teaching at the University of British Columbia, assisted in compiling the book.
Keenan taught elementary school students in New York public for five years, saying that debt creates dangerous energy. A law that prohibits transgender athletes from competing with sex-oriented sports groups, for example, classifies transgender girls as “animals that invade girls’ areas,” she said.
Harper Keenan Sincerely Bonnie Chan
“This is a violation of some of our most important responsibilities as educators, which is to support and protect the young people we work with,” Keenan said. “If we classify young people as predators, especially a group of young people as predators, we are putting them at risk.”
A letter from teachers calls on Biden officials to protect transgender youth access to health care, school facilities and careers, as well as school records and identification that reflects their emerging gender.
“Anti-trafficking debt is just the beginning of a massive snowstorm of anti-trade sentiment, gender inequality, and the dismissal of young people working to consolidate the last resort,” the letter said.
Biden officials have not responded to NBC News’ request to comment on the letter. However, Biden issued a higher order this month stating that the 1972 Title IX of Education Changes, which protects students in schools that receive public funds from sexual discrimination, and also protects them from sexual or sexual discrimination. The Department of Justice backed Biden’s order in a statement released Monday, saying it was translating Teit IX to protect LGBTQ students.
Lawmakers who support restrictions on past athletes have said these measures are needed to protect girls ’chances for cisgender sports. However, legislatures in almost every province considering the ban could not rule out any known cases where girls’ participation in sport has caused problems in their region or region, according to a report by the Associated Press released last month.
However, Hutchinson said the state ban by athletic athletes, signed on March 25, “would help promote and maintain justice in women’s sports events.”
Proponents of gender-based care restrictions claim that they protect children too young to make medical decisions. Arkansas ’sponsor recently passed a trans health bill, Rep. Governor Robin Lundstrum, a Republican, likened it to laws that prohibit children from buying alcohol until they are 21 years old.

Representatives of a small college in northeast Kansas will lead the thousands of marchers expected to participate in the March For Life in Washington D.C. this week.
More than 400 students from Benedictine College in Atchison are attending the annual anti-abortion march on Wednesday. Several dozen members of that group will carry a banner in front of the marchers. Benedictine monks, faculty and alumni are with the students.
The Benedictine group will be joined by about 30 students from Rockhurst University in Kansas City, Emporia State University in Emporia, Kan., and Newman University in Wichita.
Kathryn Brown, a Benedictine junior, contacted the president of the March for Life last year to ask if her group could lead this year’s event.

There are several things that control cravings or make it hard to get off sugar, as covered in this article here: What Causes Cravings For Sugar & Junk Food?
Causes mentioned in that article include hormones, messenger chemicals in the body that tell the cells what to do or not do, how to use energy or not, whether to build muscle or break it down, or add fat or burn it.
Now, while Insulin, Cortisol, and several other hormones play a part in all of this, there are two specific hormones that control hunger and, in large part, your cravings: Leptin and Ghrelin.
Leptin is a hormone that sends messages to stop or lower cravings, and Ghrelin sends messages to increase them. Of the two, Leptin seems to be the one most in control.
Now, this is an area where much more research needs to be done, but we do know key facts about these hormones and how they operate.
First, when we eat there is always some fat created and broken down, even if minimal. This is a constant process.
There are also free-floating fatty acids in the bloodstream which can be used for energy if needed.
And, the more fat you have on your body, the more free-floating fatty acids you will have in your blood vessels.
Leptin is a hormone produced by the fat cells. It’s produced every time we eat, but also when there are higher amounts of fatty acids in the bloodstream or stored in our fat cells.
The Leptin that’s produced then goes to the brain where it hits specific leptin “receptors” and passes on the information that “we’ve had enough food and don’t need to eat anymore,” and that we can dip into our fat stores for energy now.
In short, it tells us to not feel hungry and that it’s okay to burn fat as well.
But, it’s key that fat levels have been increased, because we’ve eaten and that signals the production of Leptin so it goes to the brain to say we don’t need more.
Then, if time passes and leptin levels in the bloodstream lower, the brain sees this and knows it needs more food. It then directs Ghrelin, the other hormone, which is released by the stomach to increase hunger cravings, to not dip into fat stores for energy.
This is why Ghrelin levels are highest before a meal. Ever had your stomach growling because you’re hungry? That’s Ghrelin.
But here’s the problem: the more fat the individual has, the more free fatty acids there are in the bloodstream and the more Leptin the fat cells release.
These should then be seen by the brain telling it that you don’t need any more food right now.
So, the more body fat you have, the less hungry you should be and the more willing your body should be to burn fat, right?
So what’s happening here?
Well, like insulin resistance, there is something called Leptin resistance, where the brain literally doesn’t “see” the Leptin.
And, as Leptin is the brain’s indicator that the body has eaten and has enough energy stores – if it doesn’t see leptin – then it thinks it still needs food and so directs the release of Ghrelin to make you hungry to eat more.
Despite having just eaten, we can continue to have more cravings. Your brain doesn’t see any leptin, thinks you’re starving and works very hard to make you eat more — even when you’ve eaten plenty and have excess body fat. It will direct your body to not burn fat, even when you exercise and work hard to get rid of it.
These cravings can be very strong. After all, your brain thinks you’re starving.
One of the main things that causes Leptin resistance, your brain not seeing the Leptin and so thinking you’re still in need of food, is excess triglycerides in your bloodstream (triglycerides are the most common type of fatty acid in your blood, there are many types).
You see, there is something called the blood-brain barrier. This is a literal barrier that allows certain things through to the brain while keeping out other things, all to protect the brain. Leptin must pass through this barrier to be seen by the brain.
Excess triglycerides can get stuck here and start clogging this barrier. This makes it harder for nutrients and other chemicals and hormones to get through — including Leptin.
Say you’ve just eaten and plenty of leptin is in the blood. It can’t make it through the barrier to be “seen” by the brain, so the brain thinks you’re still hungry, despite having just eaten a lot of food, and instructs the stomach to release more Ghrelin, making you hungry again.
That’s one thing we need to address — too many triglycerides clogging the blot-brain barrier so Leptin can’t pass through.
Another point is having overly high levels of Leptin seems to increase leptin resistance. The Leptin receptors in your brain become desensitized to the Leptin because it's always there, since you eat so much, there is a surplus.
Then we have inflammation and Cortisol. High levels of inflammation raise Cortisol, which also raises Ghrelin levels, increasing your appetite. So if you have inflammation causing higher cortisol release, or just higher levels of cortisol due to diet or poor digestion, we get increased Ghrelin.
And lastly, there is one more fat type that causes trouble here which we will address in another article — Trans Fats.
The fat that raises inflammation the most is trans fat, a molecularly altered fat that the body does not recognize and cannot use well and which only causes trouble.
Trans Fats both raise inflammation and they also clog the blood-brain barrier and can cause even more trouble than triglycerides there.
So we have a few things to handle here, but this Leptin—Ghrelin situation is one of the largest factors in yo-yo dieting, losing weight and then gaining it all right back again.
You work hard to reduce processed sugar and calories and somehow push through the withdrawals and lose fat. Maybe your cells become insulin-sensitive again and come off their addiction to sugar. Your small intestinal bacteria numbers go down as they’re dying off due to less of the food they thrive on (processed sugars).
The blood-brain barrier is still clogged and so the brain still isn’t “seeing” the Leptin and so still sends Ghrelin to keep you hungry.
Then we give in and go back to our old ways, gaining all of our fatback and then some.
So how do we fix this?
First, we need to get rid of these processed sugars as these are the main things that create so much excess triglycerides in the bloodstream which then clog the blood-brain barrier and prevent leptin signaling in the first place.
Next, avoid processed foods. These, even when made from organic ingredients, are often in a form after processing that our digestive system has trouble breaking down and which can lead to inflammation, especially from rancid refined fats and trans fats.
Also, partially digested proteins contribute to inflammation as we saw in this article, so we need to make sure the gut is in good health and properly functioning.
And, of course, get good sleep. Poor sleep, along with inflammation, raises cortisol levels which releases Ghrelin, making one more hungry just because they’re tired.
Most importantly, protein is actually the key thing that reverses Leptin resistance, which makes sense.
The enzymes that break down triglycerides and trans fats, including those clogging the blood-brain barrier are all made of amino acids.
But these enzymes have a relatively short life and new ones constantly need to be made. The less amino acids one has, the less enzymes their body can produce overall, lowering the breakdown of fat among other things.
This is one reason many people start having lowered appetites and less cravings for sugary junk foods after taking PerfectAmino.
Their bodies are now getting what they need to produce these enzymes in enough volume to start reversing Leptin resistance.

FOR THE CHIMICHURRI
- 1/2 cup finely minced candied Red Peppers
- 1/4 cup candied pepper liquid
- 1/4 cup brine-packed capers, rinsed and finely chopped
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 6 garlic cloves, very finely minced
- 2 shallots, very finely chopped
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
FOR THE STEAKS
- 4 8-ounce skirt steaks
- 2 tablespoons plus 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
- 1 tablespoon plus 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 4 cups baby arugula
- 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
- To make the chimichurri, place the candied peppers in a medium bowl with their liquid, capers, parsley, cilantro, garlic, and shallots and whisk to combine. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until the mixture is thick and emulsified. Set aside.
- Prepare a hot charcoal or gas grill.
- Season both sides of the skirt steaks with 2 tablespoons of the salt and 1 tablespoon of the black pepper and set on the grill. Cook without moving until there are grill marks, about 5 minutes. Turn over the steaks and cook the other side until there are grill marks and the steaks are cooked to your liking, about 3 minutes for medium-rare, 4 minutes for medium, and 5 minutes longer for medium-well. Use tongs to transfer the steaks to a large platter and set aside.
- While the steaks rest, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl. Add the arugula and cherry tomatoes and gently toss to coat.
- Arrange the 4 steaks on a large platter in a circular shape. Fill the center of the circle with the arugula and tomatoes and serve with the chimichurri on the side.

Tonight will be the third week without Bones on Fox, thanks to the World Series. On the last episode, skeletal remains are found in the Chesapeake Bay and Brennan and Booth to investigate. The thing is, only the upper torso of the victim was intact, so the team had little to work at. Fortunately, the remnants of the victim’s breast implants were there, too. Their probe led them to a small church community in Maryland, discovering that the victim was a pastor, only they don’t have any record of her before she moved to the small town five years ago.
As we wait for the resumption of Bones next week, a critic from the Los Angeles Times commented on how it’s precisely the lack of sex and the resulting tension that makes the Bones-Booth dynamic one of a kind and exciting.
“Yes, the sexual tension hangs heavy, and everyone knows Booth and Brennan want to do it, Sam-and-Diane style” David Tischman writes. “But series creator Hart Hanson also writes an adult male-female friendship that is wonderful and special without being precious.”
He then poses the question of whether or not the long-anticipated hook-up between the two will ruin the friendship. “Brennan and Booth try to explain away the respect and concern they feel for each other as something simple — they’re partners, like Mulder and Scully — but “Bones” gives us the first on-screen pairing that makes you think and gives you pause.”
Just this season, it was really memorable how Booth arrived at Brennan’s place to see a half-naked man (and the pun on some underwater work). At the very least, the scene has brought to fore something they may have been ignoring.
However, as it stands, Bones fans will have to wait and see if there will be consummation of the relationship. Catch Bones when it returns to Fox on November 5.

An auditor-general post would be created in the cooperative sector and the government was considering to amend the rules in the sector to check corruption.
Stringent action was taken against corrupted officials regardless of their party affiliation.
As much as 16,000 crore was received as deposit in this sector within 20 months and Rs 4,854 crore agricultural loans were given away to farmers under the present government.
Government was expecting a 50 crore deposit in 2011 in the sector, he added.

The Plymouth Creek Restoration Project will improve water quality in Plymouth Creek and Medicine Lake, the creek's primary receiving water. The project will reduce total phosphorus and suspended sediment in Plymouth Creek and Medicine Lake stemming from streambank erosion. Streambank erosion is a common source of pollution, particularly in developed landscapes where flows in streams are considered flashy and can easily scour unprotected and disturbed streambanks.
This project engages private property owners including non-profits, businesses, and institutions, in the Harrison Neighborhood of Near North Minneapolis to install storm water best management practices. The BMPs will reduce pollution in Bassett Creek including chlorides and bacteria, for which the creek is impaired. The primary focus is on Glenwood Avenue, a focal point in the community and a highly impervious area.
Fish Lake is 238 acres and does not meet state water quality standards due to excessive nutrients. Through the Total Maximum Daily Load study, a recommendation was made to treat the lake with alum to achieve the state's water quality standards. The goal of this project is to reduce the phosphorus load to Fish Lake by 310 pounds per year and meet the needed phosphorus reduction goal. The project will be completed as a partnership between the Elm Creek Water Management Commission, Three Rivers Park District, the City of Maple Grove, and The Fish Lake Area Resident's Association.
The purpose of this project is to conduct a subwatershed assessment of that part of the City of Minneapolis that is within the Shingle Creek watershed. This subwatershed drains to three Impaired Waters: Crystal Lake, Ryan Lake, and Shingle Creek. The assessment will identify the most feasible and cost-effective best management practices for retrofit in this densely urban, fully developed subwatershed. The project includes workshops with neighborhood organizations to help them educate residents and organize implementation projects.
Both Minnehaha Creek and Lake Hiawatha are on the State Impaired Waters List and have had Total Maximum Daily Load Studies completed. The proposed work would focus on park land along Minnehaha Creek which is a highly-recreated corridor with public trail systems throughout. In 2014, the District experienced record flooding resulting in substantial erosion and tree loss along Minnehaha Creek. In 2015, the District completed an assessment of flood damage and received FEMA funding for bank repair at 31 sites along the Creek within Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board property.
The Greater Blue Earth River Basin Alliance (GBERBA) along with Soil and Water Conservation Districts, Counties, landowners, and drainage authorities in the ten member counties will install conservation drainage practices to improve water quality. 103E drainage systems with documented sediment or water quality issues are the focus with the goal of installing 52 practices such as improved side inlets (grade stabilization structures), alternative tile inlets, denitrifying bioreactors, saturated buffers, storage wetlands and others.
In partnership with Metro Blooms, the Mississippi Watershed Management Organization (MWMO) will implement stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) at a minimum of six properties along commercial nodes targeted for re-investment by the City of Minneapolis' Business District Support program.
The objective of the project is to develop a targeted stormwater implementation and outreach program focused on non-profit partners. The Nine Mile Creek Watershed District is a 50 square mile fully-developed watershed with 15 major lakes and over twenty miles of creek system. Given that much development in this area occurred prior to the era of stormwater management regulations, runoff from many sites is untreated prior to discharge to downstream water bodies.
The Watonwan Watershed Resource Specialist has been funding with Clean Water funds since 2012. Since that time, the Watonwan Watershed Resource Specialist has been a crucial connector between landowners and natural resource professionals in the Watonwan Watershed. As the technical ability and responsibilities of the WWRS expands, the need and urgency to secure extended funding becomes a priority. This project will fund half of the Watonwan Watershed Research Specialist position through year 2020.

Post-vegan Thanksgiving feast, there's a likely chance your refrigerator is packed to the brim with containers nearly bursting with roasted butternut squash, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, and more. And although simply piling them all onto a plate and reheating them in the microwave is totally do-able, sometimes, it isn't particularly appealing to do so.
That being said, we've created an extensive guide to repurposing your Thanksgiving leftovers, to give your vegan holiday creations the drool-worthy second life they deserve (using minimal effort, of course). Finishing off leftovers has truly never sounded so appealing.
Whip up a mean Tofurky sandwich.
Whether you're whipping up a Ross Geller-style "moist-maker," using Tofurky and every side dish you served on Thanksgiving Day, or if you're simply piling that plant-based main dish onto two slices of bread smothered in your favorite condiments, you can never go wrong with a classic next-day sammie. Hot tip: Break out your favorite sandwich bread (ours is Dave's Killer Bread!) because seriously, those slices make all the difference.
Fry up some mashed potato pancakes.
Transform mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, or yams into potato pancakes by blending them with sautéed onions, salt, pepper, a pinch of flour, and a plant-based egg replacement of your choice. Shape the mixture into individual pancakes, fry them in vegetable oil over high heat, and serve them with apple sauce and vegan sour cream on the first night of Hanukkah — just remember to freeze them until then.
Make vegetable pot pie using leftover vegetables.
Making vegetable pot pie is cheap and simple. In addition to leftover potatoes, carrots, squash, and any other leftover veggies you have, pick up vegan puff pastry, vegetable stock, plant-based milk, flour, coconut oil, salt, pepper, thyme, and garlic. In an 8x8 baking dish, fill with leftover veggies, broth, milk, seasonings, and a little flour. Cover the baking dish with an appropriate amount of puff pastry, and brush with a simple coconut oil wash, before baking for 25 to 30 minutes. Yum.
Make over that green salad.
In total Elaine Benes fashion, make a "big salad" out of that sad bowl of greenery you served on Thanksgiving just because you needed to add color to that Thanksgiving feast. Add some Beyond Meatballs to recreate your favorite Just Salad lunch, mix vegetables with citrus fruits like clementines or blood oranges, or make it extra crunchy with wontons. There are no rules with making a next-level salad — all that matters is you add some next-level ingredients to up the ante.
Bake leftover cranberry sauce muffins.
Ahead Of Thyme created a recipe for Leftover Cranberry Sauce Muffins that can easily be made vegan. Combine the mixture with flour, oats, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, vegan butter, brown sugar, plant-based milk, an egg replacement, and vanilla extract. Mix the dry and wet ingredients separately, combine and bake in a 12-tin muffin tray at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes.
Make croutons out of bread or rolls.
Making croutons sounds fancy, but it's seriously simple. Gimme Some Oven suggests dicing the bread into cubes, tossing with olive oil and seasoning, spreading out on a baking sheet, and baking until crispy. Use them in that big salad, or add some crunch to your soup. They're truly drool-worthy.
There's no need to waste food — or eat sad reheated leftovers — with these delicious upcycling tips for that extra Thanksgiving food. We can't wait to see what you end up making.

Cunningham Gymnasium4054 Georgetown Road
Lexington, KY 40511
From downtown Lexington take Newtown Pike north, crossing over New Circle Road and proceeding on to Citation Blvd (there is a left-turn lane and signal). Turn left onto Citation and travel to Georgetown Road (there is a traffic light here). Turn right onto Georgetown Road and travel 3.1 miles to the entrance to Cunningham Gym. As you travel out Georgetown Road from Citation you pass Spurr Road, then Kearny Ridge on your left, then cross over the Interstate 2 different times. After crossing the interstate the second time look for Sunset Motel & Restaurant on your right—shortly after passing these go slowly (or you will miss the entrance to the gym) and look for a black mailbox (with the number 4050 on it) on your right at the driveway to the Cunningham Gym. Turn right into the driveway, which leads back 100 yards to the gym building. Careful: from Georgetown Road, locating the Cunningham Gym driveway to turn right is tricky!

/// The ‘Internet of Things’ Heralds the Arrival of the Jetsons Age
What smartphones and apps have done to connect people to the Internet wherever they go, emerging new technologies will soon connect seemingly every other object in your life (even the most nonelectronic in nature) to the Web. It’s a weird phrase you’ll hear a lot this year: the Internet of Things. These “Things” aren’t new. They’re mundane devices—lights, garage doors, toasters and other household appliances—all tricked out with sensors and wired into semi-autonomous algorithms. It’s all designed to give consumers more control, make their lives easier, give them more information—in short, to borrow from a famous slogan, to bring ordinary things to life. Or, to go a little darker, it’s like Skynet from the Terminator movies right before it turns on humankind. Take your pick. At last year’s International Consumer Electronics Show, attendees witnessed a coming-out party for the Internet of Things. Many of those things, including watches or sports aids like a golf tee to help you with your swing, did one thing really well. But those devices didn’t talk to each other. This year, because they are starting to share information, they’ll do more than just one cute trick. Three emerging technologies will lend the IOT its intelligence: sensors that can track temperature, movement or speed; systems that integrate the control of devices; and a shared syntax that lets them talk to each other. Think of thermostats that turn down the heat after everyone has left the house; smart calendars that tell you to leave for that important meeting right now because traffic is bad; a refrigerator that updates your online grocery order when your milk has reached its expiration date or your lettuce is wilted; apps that adjust your prescription dosage based on diet and exercise for the week; or the robotic vacuum cleaner that activates after the 20th person has walked through the door. Once the devices can talk to each other through the Internet, the consumer won’t have to push a button to make something happen because the devices will anticipate what you want. Yes, we are headed to a Jetsons kind of future.

This being Technology Week, I’ve decided to make some great new technological magic items for this week’s Magic Market. The following weapon, armor, and shield are perfect for the fantasy warrior living in a technology world. Perhaps this gear was harvested from an alien ship or crafted by a mad genius… who knows? Enjoy.
OMNI SUIT PRICE 75,650 gp
Slot armor; CL 5th; Weight 50 lbs.
Capacity 10; Usage 1 charge per minute; Aura faint transmutation
This suit of deep grey armor is made from interlocking plates that fit tighter and move more smoothly than any forged suit of armor could hope to replicate. Small buttons on the inside of the gauntlets activate a number of special functions of the armor.
This suit of +5 full plate can be used as such without consuming any of this item’s charges. As a swift action, you can activate one of the following abilities for the armor by spending one charge per minute. The ability can be ended with another swift action.
Defense: The armor plates adjust to be stiffer and more protective, and small robotic gears move them to intercept incoming blows, granting you a further +2 armor bonus to AC, but reducing your movement speed by half (rounded up).
Agility: The armor plates in the feet and legs spring to life, increasing your speed and athleticism. Your land, climb, and swim speeds are each doubled, and you gain a +5 bonus on Climb checks and Swim checks so long as this feature of the armor is activated. Because the legs of the armor are busy enhancing your movement, you suffer a –2 penalty to AC against attacks of opportunity caused by movement.
Power: The armor plates in the arms reach forward whenever you are about to strike, granting you a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls with melee weapons and natural attacks. Because of the way the armor moves, you suffer a –1 penalty to AC while you are using this function.
None of an omni suit’s unique abilities count as an enhancement bonus equivalent, and it is treated as a +5-equivalent armor for the purposes of the cost of further improving its magical abilities.
Craft Technological Arms and Armor, graviton lab, expeditious retreat, jump, water breathing
PLASMA PLUME SHIELD PRICE 35,170 gp
Slot armor; CL 3rd; Weight 50 lbs.
Capacity 10; Usage 1 charge; Aura faint transmutation
This +3 heavy steel shield is large for its size and contains several extra chambers that generate supercharged, ionized gas that can be released with the push of a button, conveniently located on the shield’s handle.
These +3 heavy steel shields always function as such and consume no capacity to do so. Additionally, as a standard action, you can push a button on the back of the shield to unleash one or more bursts of plasma in a 60-foot line. All characters in the line suffer 4d6 points of fire and electricity damage, or half that amount on a successful Reflex save (DC 12). You can fire any number of lines in this way, but each line consumes 1 charge. Additionally, you may activate this ability as a free action whenever you successfully deliver a shield bash with the plasma plume shield, but only to unleash a single line.
None of a plasma plume shield’s unique abilities count as an enhancement bonus equivalent, and it is treated as a +3-equivalent shield for the purposes of the cost of further improving its magical abilities.
Craft Technological Arms and Armor, graviton lab, scorching ray
SHOCK LANCE PRICE 18,310 gp
Slot none; CL 5th; Weight 7 lbs.
Capacity 10; Usage 1 charge/round; Aura faint evocation
This heavy metal rod is capped with double prong, laced with a purple charge of electricity. A blend of magic and technology, these weapons are reliable for both mounted soldiers and spacefaring infantry.
These +1 shocking lances can always be used as such without consuming any charges. As a free action, you can activate the lance for 1 round by spending 1 charge. If you do, the lance's reach is increased by an additional 5 feet, and it deals an additional 2d6 points of electricity on a successful hit. Finally, if the attack is successful, the target must succeed on a Fortitude save (DC = 10 + the amount of electricity damage suffered in this way) or be dazed for 1 round. Even on a successful saving throw, the target is staggered for 1 round.
None of a shock lance’s unique abilities count as an enhancement bonus equivalent, and it is treated as a +2-equivalent weapon for the purposes of the cost of further improving its magical abilities.

With their plethora of choices and chaotic pace, Singapore’s hawker centres can seem daunting at first. But with a bit of savvy, you can navigate the city’s famous fast-food palaces like a pro. Here’s a quick guide to the dishes and the best places to have a tasty meal.
Before you head to the closest hawker stall, make sure to chope (save) yourself a seat by placing a tiny packet of tissues either on the table or on the seat itself. You’ll often find some of Singapore’s less privileged selling packets at the entrance, or you can pick some up at the closest 7Eleven store – the wet ones are the best for wiping your hands post-meal. Once choped, make note of the table number as you’ll need to quote this if the food stall of your choice delivers; if you spot a ‘self service’ sign, you’ll need to wait patiently for your food. Take cash, ideally small notes.
Once you’ve satisfied your hunger, pack your dishes and deposit them at the tray return area. If your stash of tissues hasn’t cut it, head for the toilets – most centres have large hand-washing areas where you can clean up.
What to eat
Hawker centres are the epitome of Singapore’s melting-pot culture. At all centres, you can expect to find dishes from the island’s main ethnic groups: Chinese, Malay, Indian and Indonesian, with a handful of Western, Japanese and Korean stalls (to name a few) thrown into the mix. The best stalls often have long lines but don’t let that deter you; dishes are usually whipped up pretty fast and the wait is rarely longer than 30 minutes.
Chilli crab is arguably Singapore’s most famous dish. It’s typically served in a slightly spicy, sweet-and-sour tomato-based sauce, but if you’re looking to try something more adventurous, order a white- or black-pepper crab. A 1kg crab will feed two people; don’t forget to order some mantous (steamed or deep-fried buns), which are perfect for mopping up the leftover sauce.
This somewhat simple-looking dish of chicken served on a bed of fragrant rice with chilli and ginger paste was deemed worthy of a shiny Michelin star in 2016. Head to Hong Kong Soya Sauce Chicken Rice & Noodle in the Chinatown Complex to try the Michelin-starred dish for yourself, but be prepared for a substantial wait. The chicken is either served ‘white’ (poached) or ‘black’ (roasted or braised in soy sauce). Don’t be surprised if your chicken is cold; it’s been chilled in ice to ensure maximum succulence.
This is the breakfast of the nation. Grilled slices of white bread are filled with a pat of salty butter and smear of sweet kaya (coconut jam), and are usually ordered as part of a ‘breakfast set’ that includes two soft-boiled eggs and a cup of traditional kopi (coffee). To eat, crack the eggs into the bowl, add a dash of soy sauce and white pepper, then mix and dip the kaya toast into it. It’s typically available from the drink stalls which also hawk soft drinks, juices and beer.
Char kway teow:
The cooking of the flat, wide rice noodles in this dish takes some serious skill to perfect; if handled poorly, it has a tendency to mush into one giant sticky mess. The noodles take on a charred flavour from the wok, which is enhanced by sweet dark soy sauce. Additional ingredients typically include egg, Chinese sausage, bean sprouts, clams and spring onions.
Holy smokes, you won’t want to miss scoffing down some perfectly charred satay hot off the grill! A minimum order of 10 sticks is common and many stalls let your mix and match your meats, which include chicken, beef, mutton and prawn. Marinated for hours, the succulent meats practically melt into your mouth, and with the addition of the moreish crunchy peanut dipping sauce it’s hard to stop at just 10 sticks.
This is one of Singapore’s most loved aromatic noodle dishes. You’ll find bean sprouts, eggs, pieces of squid and juicy prawns hidden amongst your plate of wriggly yellow egg and white-rice noodles. The side of chillis and calamansi (citrus fruit) mean you can add as much spice or sourness as you like.
Infused with coconut milk and pandan leaves, the creamy rice is the standout star of this dish. Served with a plethora of sides including – but not limited to – sambal (chilli paste), bilis (fried anchovies), fried egg and sliced cucumber. Complete your meal with deep-fried fish or chicken wings, otah (grilled fish cake) or some rendang curry; it’s like your own personal buffet on a plate that tastes oh-so-good.
Sambal stingray :
Slathered with sambal and barbecued in a banana leaf, the fleshy stingray wings are the perfect blend of smokey meat and crispy skin. Add some cincalok (condiment of fermented shrimps, chillis, shallots and lime juice) and a squeeze of calamansi for the full taste experience that has Singaporeans raving. Be warned: most locals like their sambal spicy!
These fluffy, fried South Indian flatbreads may be responsible for many a bulging waistline, but they’re so worth every calorie. Served with a dish of spicy curry sauce, they come in many different flavours, the most popular being plain – egg and cheese. Those wanting to indulge their sweet tooth should opt for the banana and chocolate flavour. Make sure to get ones hot off the grill for maximum crunch.
Possibly the closest thing you’ll find resembling a salad in Singapore, this crunchy, sweet and spicy dish is a messy mix of vegetable, fruit and dough fritter pieces lathered in a dark prawn paste, tamarind and chilli sauce. Completed with a topping of crushed peanut pieces, this sticky hodgepodge really does taste much better than it looks.
Forget the sweet carrot cake you’re probably used to, as this dish is neither a cake nor contains carrot. Instead, it’s made by stir-frying pieces of steamed ‘radish cake’ (white radish and rice flour) in a wok with garlic, eggs, preserved radish and seasonings. There are two versions, black and white; the former is sweeter as it’s cooked with the addition of sweet dark soy sauce.

Change up the way to think of strawberries and rhubarb with this strawberry, rhubarb and pear salad with balsamic-herb dressing. It just might be your favorite spring salad!
When you hear the word “rhubarb” what is the first thing you think of? I bet most of your answered that with “strawberries” and most likely combined in a pie or crumble. Well it is time to open your horizons and welcome this strawberry-rhubarb salad into your world, tossed with pears, crumbled, goat cheese, pistachios and spring salad greens. I even made a balsamic-herb dressing to go with it. With all of those ingredients combined together, this salad quickly became one of my favorites. Sadly rhubarb has been difficult to find and may have to sit on the bench for round 2.
In other news I had a phone interview for a job the other day which lasted 1 hour and 45 minutes. I couldn’t believe it! Definitely did not feel like it took that long but at the same time was the most in depth phone interview I’ve had yet. But before all that happened I managed to screw up which time zone in which I currently reside. She told me 11:00 am central time and I reverted back to thinking I still lived in Memphis, so when 11:00 am came and went I was worried. I even sent an e-mail to check in and suggested other times I was available. Thankfully when my phone finally rang at noon eastern time she understood and we had a little laugh about it. Gotta find the humor in life!

If I could eat avocados in every meal of the day, I’d be one happy camper. Which means I was super excited to have a double dose in just one meal with this salad – fresh sliced avocado in a salad topped with avocado dressing. The dressing is definitely the star of this dish, but along for the ride is some oven-fried chicken which has taco seasoning mixed into the breadcrumb coating. Crunchy, creamy, fresh and zesty. What more could you want?
I know most of you are enjoying pleasant fall weather, but here in Memphis it’s still highs in the 80s and 90s. I cannot really complain though because we had a very moderate summer (for Memphis), with only a couple days over 100 degrees instead of entire months. As a result my electricity bill was never over $85 all summer! Normally I average around $140 because I live on the third floor and everyone’s heat comes to me (while during winter I barely turn my heat on). Add all my baking and cooking and it’s a never ending battle to keep the temperature under 80 inside.
Even though the battle against the heat isn’t very prevalent anymore, I still like to make no-cook meals or desserts from time to time. This meal is legit no cook because it doesn’t even require a stove top or a microwave – absolutely no heat involved. Well, except for some spicy heat from the cashew sauce!
When I made these potato nachos, they made me think of my friend Christina because she believes that a potato is the best food on the planet. In fact, when I texted her to inform her of this and of what I was making for dinner she thought it sounded incredible. Now that I am posting the recipe I hope she makes it, because it’s also relatively quick and easy to prepare. Maybe she will cook it as the inaugural meal in her new apartment, since her kitchen will finally be bigger than a closet O:-)?
Get out your grocery list because you need to make this tonight. Yes, I am ordering you to make a salad which is strangely out of character. As you may have noticed I do not eat many salads, but this is the best salad I’ve ever had. EVER. To the point where I would pick this salad over pizza. This is monumental, folks and I am already putting butternut squash back on my grocery list to make this again.
The recipe says it should serve 4, but two servings disappeared before I knew what happened. I never know roasted butternut squash could be so magical! Even the dressing was just a bonus and almost wasn’t even necessary. Seriously, why are you still reading this? Go and let your taste buds rejoice!
Today is World Diabetes Day, and Carolyn from All Day I Dream About Food, along with many other bloggers (including myself obviously) are promoting Diabetes awareness by posting diabetes-friendly recipes today. Check out her blog for the chance to win a blue KitchenAid stand mixer (as blue is the color of diabetes awareness), and stay turned here on The Spiffy Cookie for a different giveaway!
Diabetes has not affected me personally (something to be thankful for next week), but I admire Carolyn for her refusal to give up on her passion of baking and cooking after being diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Instead, she fought on and found new ways to enjoy her passions, to the point where I find myself craving her low carb treats too! Her blog, All Day I Dream About Food, has opened my eyes to how you can make creative, flavorful foods that are still low in carbohydrates and suitable for diabetics, dieters and even the everyday hungry person. Many of her recipes are also gluten-free!
But unfortunately diabetes isn’t just about coming up with friendly foods. Diabetes is an increasing global problem, particularly in developing countries. Although the causes are complex in nature, the rapid increases in overweight, obesity and physical inactivity definitely have an impact. Worse still, the World Health Organization (WHO) projects that diabetes deaths will increase by two thirds between 2008 and 2030. Therefore, in an effort to stimulate effective measures for surveillance, prevention and control of diabetes and its complications, WHO is building awareness by participating in the celebration of World Diabetes Day.
There is good evidence that a healthy diet, regular physical activity, maintaining a normal body weight and avoiding tobacco may help in prevention and/or reducing complications. So eat healthy, get active, and put away those cancer sticks (aka cigarettes and that’s another good reason to quit). For my contribution to spreading awareness through healthy eating, I made these lettuce wraps using Swerve all-natural sweetener instead of brown sugar. proof that healthy eating can still be easy and fun.
Be sure to check out the giveaway for you own Swerve baking kit to try out yourself at the end of this post. Get your swerve on!
Ever order a pizza but start with a salad, convincing yourself it will prevent you from eating too much pizza? That never works for me. I will still annihilate half by myself, so I would’ve consumed less calories without the
stupid healthy salad . Maybe putting the salad on the pizza is the way to go.
Caesar salad was actually the first salad I ever liked. Probably because it has the least amount of vegetables in it and I used to despise all vegetables besides carrots, corn and potatoes (as if they counted as a veggie). Green things were very much absent from my diet growing up, but boredom of the food selections of my undergraduate meal plan that met my picky-eating ways forced me to dive into the actually very expansive options available (oh the benefits of going to a gigantic school).
But back to talking about this pizza topped with Caesar salad. It is cooked with a pesto sauce base and topped with Mozzarella, Paremesan and chicken. Then once out of the oven, you assemble the rest of the salad right on top! A little drizzle of dressing and some extra shredded Parmesan, but leave off those croutons because you will find them transformed into a pizza crust.

1/4 cup shredded Parmesan, plus more for garnish
2 cups leafy romaine
1 Roma tomato, sliced
1/4 cup light Caesar salad dressing
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees with a pizza stone placed on the center rack for 15 minutes.
- On a cornmeal dusted pizza peel, roll out the pizza dough. Spread the olive oil and pesto over the dough within a 1/2 inch of the edge. Top with chicken pieces and sprinkle cheeses over top.

Even though this pizza isn’t much different than wrapping some falafels up in a pita and topping it with the usual suspects, I thought it was still worth sharing. Originally I was going to attempt making a giant pita for the crust, but decided to go with a thinner sourdough crust by dividing my sourdough pizza crust recipe in half. Mixes things up a little! And you have to admit, an entree option turned into pizza is always a winner.
Makes one pizza
1/2 recipe sourdough pizza crust (I froze the other half for later)
1/3 cup tahini paste
1 clove garlic, minced
1 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
2 Tbsp water
Juice and zest from half a lemon
1/4 cup red onion, sliced
1 small tomato, diced
1/2 cup lettuce
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees, with pizza stone on middle rack.
- Shape the dough into a flattened disk. On a well floured surface, roll out until it reaches the size of your pizza stone (or pan). Place it on a cornmeal-dusted pizza peel*, cover it, and let it rest for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the tahini paste, garlic, parsley, water and lemon juice and zest until well combined. Set aside.
- After dough has risen slightly, poke the dough with a fork several times, then shimmy onto the preheated pizza stone and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- Allow crust to cool for 5 minutes before spreading the tahini sauce over it, followed by the red onion, tomato, lettuce, feta, and falafels. Slice and enjoy!
*If you do not have a pizza peel and/or stone, do these steps on the pizza pan or baking sheet you will be cooking the pizza on.

Although I do not frequent the Olive Garden often at all, I do enjoy their salad. Of course that meant when I craved it the other day I had to figure out how to make it on my own. Thanks to Copykat Recipes I was able to recreate the salad and dressing without troubleshooting (yes I was lazy). And it really does taste like their salad! I may have to use the dressing on other things too now that I’ve got my hands on it.
I served this along with dinner Saturday night with a group of friends. Huge hit! One person was even tricked into liking mayonnaise, which is part of the dressing. I feel like a mom trying to think of ways to get her kids to eat vegetables, but in this case it’s a not-so-healthy item O:-).
1/2 cup mayonnaise (I used reduced fat)
1/3 cup white vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp corn syrup
2 Tbsp Parmesan, shredded
2 Tbsp Romano, shredded
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp Parsley
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1/2 Tbsp sugar (optional)
- Place all ingredients in a blender and pulse until combined. Add sugar to taste (I used 1/2 Tbsp). Place in airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
1-12 oz bag American blend salad
4-5 red onion slices
4-5 black olives, sliced (I don’t like olives so I opted out)
2-4 pepperoncini or banana peppers
1/2 cup croutons
Small tomato, chopped
Fresh shredded Parmesan, for topping
- Place all ingredients in a salad bowl and toss. Top with Parmesan and serve with dressing.


Substantial data implies, a large collections of information (structured or unstructured) which procedure to assemble data out of it. There’s a large quantity of information created by the businesses every second, which has to be processed. So information save, will collect, and arrange.
Substantial data strategy cannot be readily achieved using conventional data investigation procedures. Unstructured information requires resources, data modeling methods, and techniques to extract information and insights as required by associations. Information science is a scientific strategy that uses statistical and mathematical ideas and pc tools for processing information. Information science is a field that unites subjects including smart data capture methods, math, statistics, data cleanup, mining and mining align and to prepare information for analysis to extract data and advice.
To put it differently, we state that that the Big Data is a sizable number of information, which may procedure for valuable details.
We’ll distinguish between Data Analytics, Big Data, and the Data Science, dependent on which it is, in which it’s employed, the abilities you want to be also the wages prospects in every single area, and also a specialist in the area.
Big info identifies information that would normally be overly expensive to save, handle, and research using conventional (relational and/or monolithic) database methods. Normally, such programs are cost-inefficient due to their inflexibility for keeping unstructured information (like text, images, and movie ), adapting”high-velocity” (real time ) information ( or scaling to support quite big (petabyte-scale) information volumes)
Information is everywhere. The quantity doubling every 2 decades, is increasing at a quick speed, and altering. An post by Forbes says that information is increasing faster than in the past. From the year 2020, roughly 1.7 megabytes of fresh information is going to be generated every second for each human being on Earth, making it incredibly important that you be aware of the fundamentals of area at the least.
In information technologies, information that is large is a expression used to refer to data collections complicated and big they become more difficult to operate with utilizing database management applications that are on-hand. Substantial data is not used to refer to volume of information, but also utilized to imply a means of collecting, organising, storing and assessing kinds of information.
Attributes of Big Data information is identified by features that were crucial. These attributes are variety, quantity and speed of information.
Big Data is a language used to refer to the huge quantity of data and information. Cloud Computing is a technology used to store data and information to a server instead of on a disk that is physical.
The previous couple of years has witnessed the Egyptian adoption of new methods for processing and handling data that was large, such as NoSQL database programs along with Apache Hadoop. Those choices end up being complicated to set up, manage, and utilize within an circumstance.
