Intel has launched three embedded 11th gen, 10nm SuperFin fabricated Tiger Lake ULP3 “E” processors, keeping in mind the growing need for embedded applications. These new processors join with the earlier released nine Tiger Lake U-series ULP3 and lower-power Y-series ULP4 chips. Taking benefit from these new chips Adlink has now released a COM Express Compact Type 6 module which is called the cExpress-TL. It supports all three of the new “E” models plus a fourth, yet to be announced Celeron 6305E.
The Tiger Lake ULP3 lineup consists of at least seven new processors. These cover the latest three “E” Core models along with the unannounced Celeron 6305E, also there are three more rugged embedded variants with “RE” suffixes. The “E” stands to its end to indicate the “extended purchase availability” and a slightly lower base and Turbo frequencies than the similarly named ULP3 siblings without the “E” prefix. By lowering the base and turbo frequencies, they ensure a wider operating range of about 0 to 100ºC for the new Core i7-1185G7E.
Summary for the new four 11th Gen Tiger Lake ULP3 “E” series processors :
- Core i7-1185G7E: quad-core with 1.2GHz (12W), 1.8GHz (15W), 2.8GHz (28W) and 4.4GHz Turbo; 96EU Iris Xe Graphics
- Core i5-1145G7E: quad-core with 1.1GHz (12W), 1.5GHz (15W), 2.6GHz (28W) and 4.1GHz Turbo; 80EU Iris Xe
- Core i3-1115G4E: dual-core with 1.7GHz (12W), 2.2GHz (15W), 3.0GHz (28W) and 3.9GHz Turbo; 48EU Iris Xe
- Celeron 6305E: dual-core – other specs TBA
Intel also lists three other industrial “GRE” series processors, the Core i7-1185GRE, i5-1145GRE, and i3-1115GRE. These processors have the same specs and embedded features as their similarly named “E” counterparts. The sole features that take them apart from the “E” processors are that they add Intel Time Coordinated Computing (Intel TCC) and Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) networking features.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Religious conservatives whose overwhelming support propelled Donald Trump to the White House are watching closely for him to deliver on promised protections for religious objectors to gay marriage and abortion.
President Donald Trump is preparing to speak at the National Prayer Breakfast this morning. It’s a high-profile Washington event for faith leaders, politicians and dignitaries. So far he has not indicated how he’ll act on the provisions sought by religious conservatives, which critics say could sanction discrimination against gay people.
The annual breakfast can be an opportunity for a pause in the rhetoric of the day. But it also can also provide a political spotlight, as it did in 2013 for Ben Carson who drew national attention for railing against the modern welfare state.

The No. 1 UConn women's basketball team matched its own record 90-game winning streak with a 102–37 victory over No. 20 South Florida on Tuesday night at the XL Center.
Saniya Chong led the Huskies with 20 points, adding eight assists. Katie Lou Samuelson added 19 points.
The win ties them with their previous mark, which was set in December 2010 before Stanford ended the streak. The previous college basketball streak was held by John Wooden's men’s UCLA teams in the 1970s, which won 88-straight games.
UConn will go for win No. 91 at Southern Methodist on Saturday in Dallas. Their upcoming schedule also includes Tulsa, Tulane, East Carolina and Houston.

We have detected a strange new signal from the time and space rift.
A recurring fast radio burst source detected last year was recorded spitting 1,863 bursts over 82 hours, amid a total of 91 hours of observation.
This hyperactive behavior allowed scientists to they characterize not only the galaxy that hosts the source and its distance from us, but also what the source is.
The object, called FRB 20201124A, was detected by the Five Hundred Meter Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST) in China and described in a new paper led by astronomer Heng Xu of Peking University in China.
So far, most evidence points to a magnetar – a neutron star with extremely strong magnetic fields – as the source of FRB emissions like this.
If FRB 20201124A is indeed from one of these wild cosmic beasts, it looks like an unusual specimen.
“These observations brought us back to the drawing board,” says astrophysicist Bing Zhang of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
“It is clear that FRBs are more mysterious than we have imagined. More multi-wavelength observing campaigns are needed to further reveal the nature of these objects.”
Fast radio bursts have puzzled astronomers since they were first discovered 15 years ago, in archival data dating back to 2001: A spike of incredibly powerful radio emission lasting just a blink of time.
Since then, many more have been detected: millisecond-long bursts of radio waves, emitting at the time as much power as 500 million Suns.
Most that have been recorded have erupted only once, making them difficult to study (let alone understand). A tiny handful have been found to repeat themselves, which has helped scientists at least pinpoint the galaxies that host them.
Then, in 2020, a breakthrough. For the first time, a fast radio burst has been detected in our Galaxy – leading astrophysicists to trace the phenomenon to magnetic activity.
This latest outstanding FRB example is another example of a rare repeater. In less than two months of observation, FRB 20201124A has given astronomers the largest sample of polarized fast radio burst data of any FRB source.
Polarization refers to the orientation of light waves in three-dimensional space. By looking at how much this orientation has changed since the light left its source, scientists can understand the environment through which it has passed. Strong polarization indicates a strong magnetic environment, for example.
Based on the wealth of data delivered by FRB 20201124A, astronomers were able to conclude that the source is a magnetar.
But there was something strange. The way the polarization changed over time suggests that the magnetic field strength and particle density around the magnetar fluctuated.
“I liken it to shooting a movie about the environment of an FRB source, and the movie revealed to us a complex, dynamically evolving, magnetized environment that had never been imagined before,” Zhang explains.
“Such an environment is not immediately expected for an isolated magnet. Something else may be close to the FRB engine, possibly a binary companion.”
That companion, the data suggest, could be a hot, blue Be-type star, which is often found in neutron star companions. Evidence for this was presented in a separate paper, led by astronomer Fayin Wang of Nanjing University in China.
But there was also something else strange.
As a type of neutron star, magnetars are the damaged cores of massive stars that, having run out of fuel to burn and provide external pressure, collapse under their own gravity.
Such stars burn through their fuel quickly and are short-lived, shedding their outer material in a supernova as the core collapses.
Because their lives are so short, these young magnets are thought to be in regions where star formation is still occurring. Stars live out their short lives and die, creating more clouds of material to give birth to more stars. It is a beautiful cosmic life cycle.
But FRB 20201124A was found in a galaxy very similar to the Milky Way. There isn’t much star formation here at home, so there shouldn’t be a stellar baby boom near our unusual new FRB friend.
However, FRB 20201124A is not the only FRB source found in a relatively star-forming galaxy.
The growing number suggests that there is some vital piece of information we may be missing, some hole in our understanding of FRB magnetars, how they form, and the locations they inhabit.
But characterizing the source means we have a new place to look for answers. The work by Wang and his colleagues suggests that binary neutron-Be stars may be one of the best places to look for fast radio burst-like signals.
Both papers have been published in Nature and Nature communications.

– Top 3 Movie Worlds We’d Want To Visit (35:30)
Movies have always done an incredible job of taking fantasy worlds, that’s always been in our imaginations, and creating them to the big screen for us to see visually. Over the past century, we’ve seen many worlds come to life in movies, and some that, when you first saw it, you knew that you wish you could go there someday. So in honor of Middle Earth, we decided to look back and think about some of the movie worlds we’ve seen lately and which one’s we’d like to go visit if we ever had the chance. That being said, what would be your Top 3?
RELATED: Listen to Episode 42 of our movie podcast where we review Out of the Furnace and much more!

On this week’s show, we dive into the nominations that were released last week for the Golden Globes. While there were always be snubs, and there were definitely were a few, the Globes mostly got it right. However, there were a few surprises that really took us back a little that we didn’t expect. While, we loved Ron Howard’s Rush, and it was a big surprise to us, we didn’t expect for it to be nominated for Best Picture – Drama. So while, Beast and Arcturus couldn’t join us for this, Scott and JD break down what the Globes got right and what they got wrong.

The Smashing Pumpkins is one of the most iconic rock bands of the 90s. They’ve managed to reinvent themselves on every new album ever since they released their first one in 1991. Things haven’t been all dandy for them and throughout their career a lot of bad things happened: the death of their live keyboard player, drug problems and band members leaving the band. The musical genius behind The Smashing Pumpkins is Billy Corgan, the guitarist, singer, songwriter and lyricist. Basically he did it all. Here is a personal top list with the best Smashing Pumpkins albums.
One of the best Smashing Pumpkins albums (in our humble but expert opinion) is Adore, released in 1998. The story behind this album is a pretty dark one: Billy Corgan’s mother passed away, the band’s concert keyboard player died of a drug overdose and Jimmy Chamberlin, the band’s drummer was fired because he was a drug addict. All these have inspired Billy Corgan to write some of his best songs. You know what they say: art comes from suffering. Adore is a 360 degrees turn from their previous aggressive rock sound albums and not many of their previous fans appreciated it. On Adore, the band has experimented with new sounds, like drum machines, synths and pianos. The result is an album of where darkness and beauty collide to take the listeners in otherworldly places. It’s a deep, dark and poetic album about love, losing love and death. Some of the best songs from Adore are Ava Adore, Daphne Descends, Tear, Pug, Blank Page or Shame. If you haven’t listened to this album yet you have to give it a try. Music will never sound the same. At least for me it hasn’t.
2. Machina the Machines of God
Another underrated album and one of the best Smashing Pumpkins albums is Machina the Machines of God, released in 2000. This was the last album before the band broke up after the world tour called Sacred and Profane. It was a new chapter in their artistic career and they managed to build up an album that is a perfect combination of their aggressive sound and the Adore-era sensitivity. It’s a deeply mystical album and Billy Corgan stated that he drew inspiration from occult books, alchemy and religion. The album artwork looks amazing and Smashing Pumpkins proved once again that they are one of the most original rock bands in the history of rock music. The video for Stand Inside Your Love is one of the most beautiful videos of all time. Some of the best songs from Machina the Machines of God are The Everlasting Gaze, Stand Inside Your Love, I of The Mourning, Try, Try, Try, Blue Skies Bring Tears and Wound.
3. Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness – Best Smashing Pumpkins Albums
Many critics and fans say that this is the best Smashing Pumpkins album of their career. It was released in 1995 and became one the best selling double albums of all time. It sold in more than 6 million copies worldwide and won several music awards, including seven Grammy nominations. This is the most financially successful album they’ve ever made and it gave us brilliant songs like Tonight, Tonight, Bullet With Butterfly Wings, Zero and 1979, all these songs were official singles off the album. The album is made of 24 songs that manage to inspire and take the listener through a journey of deep emotions. It is a balanced album where heavy songs and quiet one dwell perfectly inside the same shell.
If you ever wanted to listen to this great band but didn’t know where to start, this list of the best Smashing Pumpkins albums should help.

Better if had cotton or cotton blend.

Style is nice and the side zipper pockets on both sides is user friendly too. The polyester might be quick drying and all of those good things but it also clings and is not all that cool if you get it wet or sweaty during hikes and kayaking. Overall I give it four stars and bought 3 but wish they were made of a light weight wrinkle free cotton based fabric. Definitely not the fishing shirts of 5-10 years ago which were all to heavy or nylon that wrinkled easily.

With Jay and Silent Bob Reboot out of the way, Kevin Smith is gearing up to wrap-up his “True North Trilogy” of Canadian-based films. After years of radio silence, Smith has finally delivered an update on Moose Jaws, which will cap off his series of strange, offbeat films that started in 2014 with Tusk followed by 2016's Yoga Hosers.
In a recent online Q&A to help fans and himself pass the time while self-isolated, Smith sounded very optimistic about the prospect of getting Moose Jaws in front of a camera once the global pandemic simmers down. Via Bloody Disgusting:
“ Moose Jaws is the movie I'm doing that's Jaws but with a moose instead of a shark. It's so weird that you bring it up. We have a phone call about it with some of the folks that we made Reboot with next week. A conference call. So yeah, it may be bubbling back to life. Wouldn't that be nice? Head up to the Canadian outdoors, spread far apart from everybody, making movies. One day, when we're allowed to do that sort of thing again. So yeah, movement on Moose Jaws!”
Smith first announced Moose Jaws at San Diego Comic-Con all the way back in 2014 and has been teasing bits and pieces about the film in the six years since. In 2015, he teased that the film would feature the death of one of his beloved View Askew characters. We won't spoil it for you, but you can click the link to find out. And in 2016, Smith elevated the film to a passion project that could be his magnum opus, according to Comic Book:
“ Moose Jaws is like, it's my favorite thing I've ever written,” he said at Sundance in 2016. “This is a f-ckin' fan film. This is like pouring my heart out on a page. I love Jaws, and I love Canada, and I combined the two of them. So the whole thing is beat-for-beat Jaws, up until the third act. In the third act it becomes Godzilla, Destroy All Monsters, Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan, and ends with Return of the Jedi. It's pretty magical.”
If you got an hour to spare, you can watch Smith's full Q&A below:
EXCLUSIVE: MVD Entertainment Group has picked up the North American distribution rights to Max Reload and the Nether Blasters, a gaming action-adventure film written and directed by Scott Conditt and Jeremy Tremp. Jay and Silent Bob and Comic Book Men’s Kevin Smith stars alongside Tom Plumley Upright Citizen's Brigade alum, Hassie Harrison Tacoma FD, Joey Morgan Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse, Lukas Gage Euphoria, Joseph D. Reitman Money Monster, Charlie Talbert The Big Short, and Greg Grunberg Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker. MVD will release the pic in theaters and on multiple VOD platforms this summer.
The plot follows a small town video game store clerk who must go from zero to hero after accidentally unleashing the forces of evil from a cursed Colecovision game… Max Jenkins’ gaming fantasies collide with reality when a legendary “lost” installment of the Nether Game series appears on the store counter of his workplace, Fallout Games. Unbeknownst to Max, the game bears a “Curse of The Ages”, and in playing it, he has just unlocked the Nether, an ancient malevolent force of evil from the cartridge, upon his small hometown. Along with a mysterious masked man and his two best friends, Liz and Reggie, Max must figure out how to beat the Nether at its own game before it’s game over for humanity.
Lin Shaye Insidious, Martin Kove Cobra Kai and Wil Wheaton The Big Bang Theory round out the cast. Producers are Tremp, Conditt, and Grunberg.
“After being in Star Wars I thought the next logical step would be to work with these master filmmakers in Phoenix, Arizona on an indie sci-fi comedy with a slant towards gaming, said Grunberg. “I need a new agent! I love this film so much and can't wait for the world to see it. And with the help of everyone at MVD the time is right to level up.”
Added Tremp and Conditt: “We are so stoked to finally be releasing Max Reload to audiences! It’s been a long and magical road making this film with some amazing people and it’s finally time to press PLAY!”
“We are thrilled to bring this unique action-adventure to audiences, and are especially excited to partner with Conditt & Tremp and the production team on the release,” remarked Eric D. Wilkinson of MVD Entertainment.
Wilkinson brokered the deal with Noor Ahmed of Reder & Feig LLP on behalf of the filmmakers and CineForge Media.

Summer is here: How to recognize, Treat, and Prevent Heat Stroke in Ferrets
Ferrets are very susceptible to extreme heat. “Heatstroke” (or “hyperthermia”) occurs when a ferret is exposed environmental conditions that cause the body to exceed a normal temperature range.
Normal (rectal) body temperature for a healthy ferret is 100 to 104 degrees Farenheit (°F) or 38 to 40 degrees Centigrade or Celsius (°C).
Heat stroke must be considered when the body temperature of a ferret exceeds 104° to 105°F (40° to 40.6°C) in the absence of infection or inflammation.
Heat stroke can damage the body. How much damage depends on: 1) how high the body (core) temperature becomes, and 2) the length of time that it is elevated.
IMMEDIATE INTERVENTION IS REQUIRED
Ferrets may require stabilization. The veterinarian may reduce the ferret’s body temperature by using cooling pads, cold-water enemas, or cold fluids instilled into the abdominal cavity or into the blood stream. Oxygen therapy should be given to increase the amount of oxygen to the tissues. In severe cases, the animal may need to be intubated (a tube placed in the airway for administering oxygen).
Even after the body temperature has normalized, hospitalization is warranted to monitor vital signs, blood work, and to ensure that the ferret remains stable. Although the ferret may appear to recover from heat stroke, signs of organ failure or other problems m ay develop over the following days, up to a week later. Medication may be given to protect the ferret’s stomach from “stress ulcers.”
Organ failure: Heat can cause gastrointestinal signs, kidney, liver, or heat problems. When severe it can result in a “shock” syndrome (disseminated intravascular coagulation- or DIC), which can lead rapidly to death. Nervous system damage can occur, as well as severe muscle injury.

The traditional schedule that the PGA followed had to be scrapped as a direct result of the pandemic, with several tournaments cancelled in 2020. However, the 2020-2021 PGA season is shaping to be one of the most action-packed seasons with six major championships up for grabs including two versions of the historic Masters. With the last tournament of 2020 in the books, according to data presented by Safe Betting Sites, Dustin Johnson currently leads in the official money rankings having already bagged $3.1M.
COVID-19 Reshapes PGA Tour 2020-2021 Season into “Super Season”
As with many other sports leagues, the PGA Tour has had to adapt to the “new normal” as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. While the effects are very much tangible during the current season, it was actually the 2019-2020 season that took the brunt of the pandemic with several tournaments cancelled or postponed including three of the four major championships.
In a bid to make up for the lost tournaments of the previous season, several tournaments were added to the 2020-2021 PGA season. This includes the running of the US Open and the Masters twice, which tak
es the total to six majors for the season. Adding further to an already action-packed year, the Tokyo Summer Olympics are also being held towards the end of the season which many top PGA professionals are participating in. This has lead to the PGA Tour dubbing the upcoming season a “Super Season.”
DeChambeau and D. Johnson Take First Two Majors and Early Money Rankings Lead
Since the season started on September 13, 2020 at the Safeway Open, there have been 12 official events that have been concluded, including two majors. The historic US Open was the second event to be held for the season after being cancelled last season due to COVID-19. Bryson DeChambeau came out victorious at Winged Foot Golf Club in New York, to win the first major of his career earning himself $2.25M giving him the early lead in the money rankings.
Since then, Dustin Johnson has won the first running of the Masters for the season taking his career major wins total to two after coming close on several occasions in the four years since his last major win. Not only did Johnson take home the elusive Green Jacket but he did so in record-breaking fashion as he finished the tournament 20 strokes under par for a four-round total of 268. He received nearly $2.1M for his win at Augusta, allowing him to overtake Dechambeau in the money rankings despite the two having played the same amount (3) of events.

Military experts were interested in a strange find that appeared near the Turkish border as a result of an air attack on militants in Syria.
According to the Serbian portal ZOKA, as a result of the shelling from the air, several missiles hit the rebels. At the place of striking at their positions, individual fragments of shells were found. The expert compared these elements with the design of whole ammunition and concluded that Cornets could be used.
"Cornet" is an anti-tank missile system created by the Tula Instrument Design Bureau. In service with the Russian army, it was adopted in 1998, after which it actively entered the ground units. This ATGM was bought by the Syrian military along with many other foreign customers.
I guess this is a Cornet, but how was it launched from the air? The Russians experienced a new drone and there was a big explosion. Many questions
- writes ZOKA.
Allegedly, the latest modifications of the launchers of the complex allow firing on the principle of "shot and forgot" by equipping the machine with a capture and tracking of the target. However, in this case, the target must be in the visibility zone of the launcher before the rocket hits.
Given that the drone can be equipped with high-resolution surveillance devices, it is really able to become the carrier of the original land ATGM, capable of effectively hitting the enemy from the air at a safe distance.

Lehi Historical Society
Editor’s Note: The following article was taken from A Guide to Lehi City’s Historical Sites and Places published by the Lehi Historical Preservation Commission in 1997.
The entire southwest corner of Main and Center long ago was the property of Andrew A. and Mary Ann Pherson Peterson. The couple arrived in Lehi from Sweden in the fall of 1862 and shortly afterward settled on their Main Street property. They originally lived in an old five-room adobe house, which was on the site. But in 1889, they built a new home, which is today the pink home at 45 W. Main next to the Bridal Shop.
The home was the gathering spot of local Scandinavian members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Peterson served as president of the Scandinavian Saints of Lehi for more than 30 years. He was a six-term city councilman, 12-year member of the local school board and served several years as general watermaster, four years as a Lehi policeman and was a director of the People’s Co-op.
In 1943, long after Peterson was dead, the Alex Jameson family moved to Lehi and purchased the old Main Street home. At this time Jameson established a bakery in town at two different locations.
In early 1946, Jameson commissioned local contractor Alma Peterson to build a new bakery building east of his home. The 20 ft. x 60 ft. block building with brick front boasted a large oven, storage area and glassed display room. The Grand Opening of the new Lehi Bakery was held on July 2, 1946.
The Jamesons moved to Monticello in mid-1950, and Julian Drug opened in the former bakery on Sept. 6, 1950. The Julian family also rented the vacated Jameson home next door.
Local boy, Paul Julian, joined the Navy during World War Il and spent most of his service as a pharmacist’s mate in Rhode Island.
When he returned home, he used his G.I. Bill to obtain his degree at the Idaho State School of Pharmacy at Pocatello. He worked briefly at a pharmacy in Sprague, Wash., before returning to Lehi. In early February 1954, Julian announced he had purchased the Merrihew/Dalley Building (98 W. Main), where the State Bank of Lehi had been located from 1919 to 1953. After Julian’s Drug moved, the building at 35 W. Main remained vacant for a time.
In October of 1958, Glen and Connie Nielsen bought both the former bakery/drug store building and the old Peterson/Jameson home. After extensive remodeling, Glen, who for the previous three years had been barbering at the Hotel Utah in Salt Lake City and the Regal Barber Shop, opened Glen’s Barber Shop at 35 W. Main on Feb. 14, 1959.
Barber Boyd Wilkin worked in Glen’s Shop for a time. But when Glen became involved in a wig business in Salt Lake City in the fall of 1969, his barbershop was leased by Garry Sampson, who had been barbering in Midvale for several years. While Sampson barbered in the front of the shop, the back half was occupied by Connie Nielsen’s Genie Scarf distributorship.
Eventually, Sampson sought employment elsewhere, after which Connie opened her own seamstress shop in the building on Nov. 28, 1970. This N’ That, as the businesswoman named her place, occupied the entire building. In addition to custom sewing, the specialty shop carried wedding items.
Connie’s business later evolved into the Bridal Center, which specializes in the sale of wedding dresses.

According to statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 2,597 people were killed in United States traffic accidents in December 2010. Of those, 775 deaths involved alcohol-impaired drivers. A 2006 study by the NHTSA estimated that there is one drunk driving fatality in the United States every 30 minutes.
Candy Lightner founded Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) in 1980 after her 13-year-old daughter was killed by a drunk driver. Regional chapters were started throughout the country as the epidemic of drunk driving came to the public's consciousness.
Individual states and municipalities passed 129 new laws addressing drunk driving within three years. The National Minimum Drinking Age Act was passed in 1984 making it illegal to drink alcohol in public or for anyone under 21 years old to purchase alcohol.
The percentage of people killed by drunk drivers decreased steadily between 1982 and the mid-1990s when state and local governments started tracking drunk driving arrests. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, a non-profit research group funded by major auto insurers, impaired driving fatalities have continued decreasing each decade. Subsequently, all states passed laws making it illegal to drive with blood alcohol concentrations (BACs) higher than 0.08 percent.

Two confirmed dead after military helicopter crashes during training flight over Mississippi skies
Published 4:50 pm Friday, February 23, 2024
Two people are confirmed dead after a military helicopter crashed during a training flight in Mississippi Friday.
Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves released a statement about the crash Friday afternoon.
“Today at approximately 2pm, the Mississippi National Guard experienced an Apache AH-64 helicopter crash during a routine training flight in Prentiss County,” Reeves wrote on social media. “Tragically, both Guardsmen on board did not survive. Safety crews are currently working the scene of the crash with local authorities.”
“Please join First Lady of Mississippi Elee Reeves and me in praying for the two Guardsmen and their families. Mississippi will always be grateful for their service and we will never forget them,” Reeves wrote. “Please keep the members of the Mississippi National Guard and their Families in your thoughts and prayers during this challenging time,” the statement from the National Guard said.
Officials from Prentiss County say the aircraft went down near Booneville off Highway 30 near Mt. Olive Baptist Church.

Busy schedules force UAE residents to skip breakfast
The two biggest barriers reported by residents when it comes to eating a healthy breakfast were lack of time and ack of inspiration for breakfast ideas.
A recent YouGov survey has revealed that 70 per cent of UAE residents fail to eat a balanced, nutritious breakfast, putting the spotlight once again on the importance of food education in schools.
Even though breakfast is commonly cited as the most important meal of the day, of the 1,000 residents surveyed, it showed that the majority is not giving enough focus to it.
The two biggest barriers reported by residents when it comes to eating a healthy breakfast were a lack of time, with 29 per cent of respondents blaming busy schedules and 15 per cent citing a lack of inspiration for breakfast ideas.
Additionally, over half – 54 per cent – said they skip breakfast or eat it on the go. When it comes to preparation time, 75 per cent of those surveyed said when they do eat it, they only spend 15 minutes or less preparing and eating the meal.
The findings were revealed at the launch of a new educational, healthy eating initiative by Arla Food Moovers, an innovative lesson curriculum with the aim of encouraging children to re-think their eating habits.
The programme aims to empower school children to take care of their health through hands-on education about food, and it has already been rolled out across 200 schools in Denmark.
Piloted at Dubai British School Jumeirah Park on Tuesday, 84 students were asked to select a common challenge faced when it comes to striking the right nutritional balance.
Speaking to Khaleej Times, Heather Mann, Principal of Dubai British School said the children’s concerns coincided with those highlighted in the YouGov survey.
“A high percentage of students eat breakfast everyday, but it isn’t a substantial, well-balanced breakfast as many feel hungry soon after. Time was also an issue as many said they eat a better breakfast on the weekends, when they have more time,” said Mann.
Asked to find a solution to the problem, the students then presented their suggestions to Jameela Al Muhairi, Minister of State for General Education in the UAE, and Esben Lunde, the Danish Minister of Food and Environment in Denmark.
Although Dubai British School has already implemented an effective cross-curricular policy for food education, Mann said one suggestion that came from the pupils on Tuesday was the introduction of a breakfast club.”Time seems to be a big concern for many students when it comes to eating a balanced breakfast, so they suggested we start a breakfast club called ‘Wake up, shake up’, where they can come to school early, exercise, then eat a good meal to start the day. It’s something we are looking into.”
Speaking to Khaleej Times, Lunde said it is integral for children understand the origins of food and the importance of healthy eating. “This programme is about giving students responsibility. It encourages them to learn about sustainable food production and how to reduce food waste.”
He said the spotlight on global food waste has been “a time of awakening and awareness making”, adding that we have to act now before it grows into an enormous problem.
“Governments need to launch education materials for schools about animals welfare, healthy eating and reducing food waste. The young generation are the future, we need to educate them to eliminate further health and environment complications.”
Three healthy breakfasts
>Classic – Eggs, whole meal toast and fruit
>On the go – Smoothie: almond milk, several varieties of fruit, cup of spinach, chia seeds or flax seeds
>Slow burner – Oatmeal or porridge topped with fruits (berries) and seeds (chia, flax etc. Keeps you full for 4-5 hours)
Nutritionist Kimi Sokhi’s top tips for parents
>Kids don’t want to skip breakfast. It’s about fitting it in with their schedule. Make time in the morning for breakfast, just like we make time for lunch and dinner. If it is part of their daily routine and given priority, they won’t skip it
>Why a balanced nutrition matters: Whether pre-school age, pre-teen or teen, children are growing rapidly until ages of 18 or 19. Their brain is still developing too so proper nutrition and a balanced diet is important for development
>Remember: deficiencies in diet can lead to deficiencies in health
>Nutrition is very important for cognitive and brain health. If you are not getting proper nutrition your brain is not getting its source of energy to learn and retain info at school
>Food education for kids from a young age makes them more interested. The more holistic the strategy, the better the learner. Start a home fruits and vegetables patch, let them join in with cooking

Homophobia is fear, hatred, mistrust, or discomfort in regards to people who are gay, lesbian, or bisexual. It can exist in many forms, including contempt, prejudice, aversion, or a general negative attitude towards people who either are or are perceived as LGBTQIA, and can result in things like harassment, job discrimination, or hate crimes. Homophobia is often rooted in fear or ignorance, and can also be tied to a person’s religious beliefs or the culture and belief system they grew up in. Individuals can also experience internalized homophobia, if they themselves experience same-sex attraction while simultaneously holding stigmas or prejudice against it. Even though persecution of LGBTQIA people is legal in many places around the world, there are many international human rights organizations that condemn any laws against homosexual relations between consenting adults as a violation of basic human rights.
We have inherited a world full of humans who have been healed and hurt by other humans. There was a time, in an age before this one, when ignorance was forgivable. But that time has passed. Now is not the time for the enlightened to sneer at the brutes. Sneering hurts people.

FPT Industrial has grown to become the world’s largest manufacturer of low-environmental impact industrial engines and the brand is joining the world’s most innovative trade fair, CES 2022 in Las Vegas, to showcase its revolutionary concepts for future mobility and sustainable industrial transport. In a related, the brand opened a new 2200 sq ft stand, organized into four innovation Areas, each dedicated to the most advanced technological solutions for a sustainable energy transition in its business segments: on-road, off-road, marine, power generation engines, and powertrain systems.
One of the solutions from the company is the electric axle suitable for heavy-duty, 4×2 / 6×2 44-ton GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) semi-truck. Described as “the star of the On-road Innovation Area,” it is designed for high performance (840kW) and outstanding efficiency (>92%), with the e-axle for HCVs (Heavy Commercial Vehicles – Class 8 Trucks) developed thanks to the joint-venture between Nikola, IVECO and FPT Industrial for the version of the NIKOLA TRE BEV, the first units of which will be delivered in the US in 2022. The On-Road Innovation Area will also have the e-driveline and energy storage offering on display, showing how FPT Industrial is contributing to developing the powertrain of the future.
The Off-Road Innovation Area will showcase the F28 Natural Gas engine and its application on the first vineyard tractor to run on bio-methane. FPT Industrial and Fontanafredda, a historic winery in the Langhe Region (Piedmont, Italy) founded in 1858, collaborated to produce the “Vigna La Rosa cru” Barolo wine, which is included in the Wine Spectator’s Top 100, with this innovative CO2-neutral tractor.
The Marine Innovation Area features a totally new and extremely innovative Hybrid Electric Marine Propulsion System Concept for leisure and commercial vessels. The concept is a collaboration between FPT Industrial and the Italian startup Sealence, incorporating the FPT Industrial N67 570 EVO biodiesel engine, which is coupled with a variable-speed permanent-magnet electric generator, used as a range extender to recharge the battery pack. The range extender and the battery work together to provide maximum energy to the electric DeepSpeed Hydrojet developed by Sealence, delivering one of the most efficient, effective, environment-friendly, and quiet-running marine propulsion systems.
The Power Generation Innovation Area plays a primary role in the decarbonization process of agriculture through biomethane, featuring the world’s first variable-speed, hybrid, multi-mode Genset concept, developed entirely by FPT Industrial.
The new Smart Hybrid Hub is inspired by the first F28 variable-speed, low-pressure methane engine for Power Generation, fueled by biomethane obtained by the anaerobic digestion of agricultural waste and cattle slurry. The aim is to create a sustainable, net-zero-carbon circular economy, enabling farmers to become ‘Energy Independent’ from fossil fuels and able to generate additional revenue streams deriving from biomethane surplus sales.
FPT Industrial has partnered with Bennamann Ltd., a fast-growing British agricultural technology company in the field of clean energy, on the project. The company specializes in the supply and production of net-zero biomethane from organic waste.

An overdraft limit is the maximum negative balance that a bank allows in a checking account without imposing overdraft fees or declining transactions.
When your checking account balance goes below zero, an overdraft limit allows you to continue making transactions, up to the specified limit. The bank covers the shortfall, and you’re typically charged an overdraft fee.
To set up an overdraft limit, you typically need to contact your bank or financial institution. They will assess your account and financial history to determine your eligible limit.
No, they are not the same. Overdraft protection is a service that may link your checking account to another account (e.g., savings account or credit card) to cover overdrafts. An overdraft limit is a specific maximum negative balance set by your bank.
If you exceed your overdraft limit, the bank may decline the transaction, charge additional fees, or require immediate repayment of the overdrawn amount.

China rebuked the UN experts who raised serious objections over the draconian national security law imposed on Hong Kong which undermined the city’s autonomy.
China rebuked the United Nations experts who raised serious objections over the draconian national security law imposed on Hong Kong which undermined the city’s autonomy. In a letter to the Chinese government, the UN human rights experts said that the measures adopted in the security law do not conform with the international legal obligations, especially with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR).
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying told reporters on September 4 that the law punishes an extremely small number and protects the absolute majority. The spokesperson, in a customary strong language, said that some people disregard the facts and maliciously slander China’s human rights situation.
“Stop meddling in Hong Kong affairs and China’s affairs in any way,” she added.
The 14-page letter was published on the UN human rights office on September 4, 48 hours after it was sent to the Chinese government. The UN special rapporteurs on human rights warned that parts of the legislation which define organising, planning, committing or participating in secession or subversion, “appear to criminalise speech acts, including political writing.”
“The law thus implicates both serious concerns of legality as well as undue limitations on freedom of opinion, expression and peaceful assembly,” the letter read.
Hong Kong has been considered a bastion of press freedom within Chinese territories due to the autonomy granted to it under the Sino-British joint declaration before the city returned to Chinese rule. However, the draconian security law can push the press freedom on a further decline which already dropped seven places on the World Press Freedom Index this year.
The controversial law has been used to arrest several pro-democracy activists, including Hong Kong media tycoon Jimmy Lai who was later released after international outrage. The special rapporteurs have recommended a review and reconsideration of the legislation to ensure that the law is in compliance with China’s international human rights obligations with respect to Hong Kong.

THE High Court in Suva yesterday heard of an alleged breach of Occupational Health and Safety standards at the Suva Prison.
Peni Tui Laselase is jointly charged with Sitiveni Tuisamoa, Samuela Beeby and Ravuama Kedraika in a case before judge Justice Salesi Temo yesterday.
While submitting his bail application, Laselase said he hurt himself while bathing.
He said he believed it was an OHS breach, saying there were cracked tiles on the bathroom floor where he slipped and got hurt.
Justice Temo earlier adjourned the matter to October 17 for information and disclosures to be served by the State.
He said there were a lot of people applying for bail and told the accused to make his complaint known when the case was next called.
Laselase said he had another issue to raise and requested that he be taken to hospital for treatment.
Justice Temo asked the accused if he had reported the matter to the doctors at the prison.
Laselase said yes and alleged that they had come up with different excuses like the shortage of bandages and medication. Justice Temo told the accused that once he was remanded in custody, it became the responsibility of the Commissioner of Prisons to look after him.
He told the accused to report the matter to the visiting Justice, who visited the prison every two weeks or so.
Justice Temo told prison authorities to look into the medical problem and advised that Laselase be taken to hospital if the condition was serious.

text: The family and friends of beloved local spear fisherman and outdoors expert Ant Bostock are seeking community support to help him recover from a devastating spinal injury which occurred last month. Mr Bostock collided with an electric mountain biker while testing out his recently repaired motorcycle, with the crash leaving him paralysed. He was airlifted to Royal Perth Hospital and was this week under the specialist care of expert medics. But the costs involved, as well as the loss of income, have seen friends rally around the Margaret River man, with a GoFundMe page set up to help. Mr Bostock’s close friend Caroline Haynes said any contributions from friends and fellow residents were deeply appreciated. “MRIs have revealed that he has sustained compression to his central spinal cord at C6/C7, resulting in debilitating nerve pain and damage,” she said. “He endured complete loss of mobility in his arms and hands, impaired motor function, and was reduced to being able to only wiggle his toes. “He has spent the last three weeks in RPH undergoing medical treatment with his partner Stelle (Evangelista) constantly by his side. “Ant has had to learn how to stand and walk again. He is currently in a neck-to-waist full-body brace and is slowly and arduously regaining these abilities.” The couple only recently bought their first home, but the time awaiting placement in specialist rehabilitation was a further drain on resources. Ms Haynes said Mr Bostock and his partner were keen to return home as soon as possible, and the mental strain was considerable. “Ant has given much to the community in the South West of WA and beyond in his watery/outdoors networks, and has been there for many with a smile, wisdom and a good deed,” she said. “We, his friends, water tribe and colleagues, seek to take some of the stress out of the equation and extend to the broader community an appeal to combat the loss of income and enable coverage of costly medical bills. “We aim to raise enough to support him in his recovery so he can focus solely on getting better, getting back to us all, and to his full and active life.” Friend Ryan Nielsen also urged residents to chip in. “He’s a much-loved member of our community (and) the sort of guy that would give you his shirt off his back,” he said. “Please donate if you can afford it.” Mr Bostock’s employer, Down South Camping and Outdoors owner Roz Cummings, said the prognosis was looking good. “Ant has just let me know that he has been moved to Fiona Stanley Hospital,” she said. “He now has a team of physios, hydrotherapists, doctors, and the whole spinal team behind him. “I am sure he would love to thank you all for your very generous support.” To help, visit bit.ly/3B89r7D.

Roll each cheese cube in flour, then egg mix then roll into breadcrumbs and place on plate. Repeat with remaining cheese cubes until all coated. In large skillet or saucepan, heat 2 inches of oil to 350. Set a large plate topped with paper towels off to the side. Using slotted spoon, lower a few cheese cubes at a time into oil, making sure they stay separated while frying. Remove from oil using spoon after 1 min. or when the cubes are golden brown, and place on paper towels to drain. Let oil return to 350 before making the next batch. Repeat until all cheese cubes are fried. Heat pizza sauce in microwave or on the stove top until warm. Serve warm fried cheese balls.

Speaking to the royal podcast, Pod Save the Queen, Ingrid Seward said: “Philip welcomed Meghan at the beginning. He was an outsider, he knows what he feels like.
“He feels he’s had a part to play, he can do something useful and help her, but whether he ever managed to do something I don’t know.
“I think he is completely baffled by Harry and Meghan’s desperation to leave the royal family. I think he feels they had so much going for them.”

Harry has hit out at social media as he blasted the “mothership of all the harassment” he and wife Meghan Markle have suffered.
His comments followed reports that he and Meghan had quit social media after an “almost unsurvivable” experience of online trolling.
But Harry told the Fast Company podcast he and his wife had “no social media to quit,” insisting they will return “when it’s right for us”.
He said: “We will revisit social media when it feels right for us—perhaps when we see more meaningful commitments to change or reform—but right now we’ve thrown much of our energy into learning about this space and how we can help.”


Located in Mizukami Village, Kuma County, Kumamoto Prefecture, the Ichifusa Dam holds back the flow of the Kuma River, and has created a lake behind the dam. The area behind the lake has been planted with “Ichimanbon-sakura (Ten Thousand Cherry Trees),” including trees of the Yoshino and Kanzan varieties; it has become one of the best places in Kumamoto Prefecture for viewing the cherry blossom, and large numbers of tourists visit the area every spring. When the cherry trees are in full bloom, the roads around the lake are transformed into “cherry blossom tunnels,” allowing visitors to enjoy the beautiful sight of the cherry blossom contrasting perfectly with the verdant green of the mountains. From mid-March through into early April, when the cherry blossom is at its best, several special events are held, including the “Yuyama Onsen Sakura Festival.” During the Festival, a large fountain is installed in the middle of the lake, which sends a big spray of water up into the air, and can be set going for a charge of 500 yen per use; this is very popular with visitors. Toilets, shops and parking available.

Structural bioinformatics: current status and future directions Swanand Gore∗, Sameer Velankar and Gerard J. Kleywegt Protein Data Bank in Europe (PDBe) EMBL-EBI Wellcome Trust Genome Campus, Hinxton, Cambridge 1 Introduction Structural biology is a key discipline in basic and applied biological research. It reveals atomic and mechanistic details of biological macromolecules in normal and diseased states and enables researchers to modulate the molecular machinery in a rational manner, through the design of important molecules of practical relevance such as drugs, inhibitors, enzymes, antibodies, pesticides etc. Structural bioinformatics - an umbrella term encompassing many techniques in biocomputing and informatics of macromolecular structures - is an essential component of structural biology due to the quantity and complexity of structural data.
2 An ensemble of sub-disciplines Structure determination - the core technique in structural biology - is made possible by computational refinement of structure models using experimental data and augmenting it with prior knowledge e.g. of basic covalent geometry. While X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy remain the most popular methods, cryo-electron microscopy (Chiu et al.(2005)) and hybrid experimental techniques (Wanga et al.(2011)) are rapidly becoming more important as the field moves towards studying the structures of large assemblies and molecular machines. This has necessitated the development of more powerful structure refinement procedures (Tang et al.(2007); Adams et al.(2010)). High-throughput crystallography protocols have been developed for structural genomics (Terwilliger et al.(2009)) and fragment-based drug-discovery initiatives (Hajduk and Greer(2007)). Structure prediction is crucial for proteins whose structures are experimentally intractable and is carried out using techniques such as comparative (homology) modelling, threading and ab-initio methods. Homology models are now available on a genomic scale (Pieper et al.(2004)) produced using new powerful algorithms for mainchain and sidechain modelling (Krivov et al. (2009); Eswar et al.(2006)). New approaches are being developed to model remote homology more reliably (Zhou and Skolnick(2010)) and to include experimental restraints wherever available (Möglich et al.(2005)). Cutting-edge technologies like Rosetta and [email protected]
have been very successful (Raman et al.(2009); Beberg and Pande(2009); Cooper et al.(2010)) for folding structures in silico where no suitable homologous structures exist. In the related field of molecular dynamics simulations, new methods are being developed towards speed and robustness (Shaw et al.(2010)), to include quantum-mechanical effects (Kamerlin et al.(2009)), and coarse-graining (Hall and Sansom(2009)). Possible errors in experimental or predicted structures may be detected by validation criteria (Kleywegt(2009); Kleywegt(2000); Chen et al.(2010)) such as the Ramachandran plot, realspace-R value etc. This is becoming more relevant due to a variety of non-expert users taking to structural studies (Kleywegt(2009)). The classification of structures is an important area of structural bioinformatics, and uses structure-based alignments (Sierk and Kleywegt(2004)). Among the many structure-superposition methods (Novotny et al.(2004); Kolodny et al.(2005)), some differentiate themselves by the 65
ability to handle challenging cases like partial matches or structural flexibility. Aligned structures generally have evolutionarily related sequences which often form globular domains. Domain is a fundamental concept in structure classification (Ponting and Russell(2002)). Domain classifications like SCOP (Andreeva et al.(2007)) and CATH (Greene et al.(2007)) are popular. Similar domains often exhibit conservation of functionally important residues, e.g. in surfaceaccessible pockets and active sites. These can be predicted by unusual conservation of residues (Chelliah et al.(2004)) whereas larger conserved surface patches often indicate domain-domain interfaces. In silico docking (Sousa et al.(2006)) is used to design small molecules that optimally fit known or predicted binding sites. Domain-independent structure analysis can sometimes reveal structural propensities, e.g. those of α and β secondary structures (Kihara(2005)), or a tendency to remain unstructured (Dosztányi et al.(2005)) as in domain linkers, or recurring patterns of sidechain orientations, structure templates (Tendulkar et al.(2004)) etc. Effective data organisation is key to analyses in structural bioinformatics. Experimentally determined structural models are available in PDB and mmCIF1 file formats which define data types and the relationships between them. Efforts to produce molecule- and residue-level mappings between structure and sequence, sequence families, structural domains and source organisms (Velankar et al.(2005)) enable the integration of structure and other biological databases. Various ontologies (Reeves et al.(2008)) have been defined to capture structure-sequence features in a controlled vocabulary.
3 A PDBe perspective The Worldwide Protein Data Bank (wwPDB; wwpdb.org) is the international consortium, consisting of RCSB PDB and BMRB (USA), PDBe (Europe) and PDBj (Japan). wwPDB is responsible for collecting, annotating, archiving and disseminating 3D biomacromolecular structure data. The EMBL-EBI Protein Data Bank in Europe (Cambridge, UK; pdbe.org) aims to become an integrated structure resource for all of bioscience, focussing on advanced services, ligands, integration, validation and experimental data (Velankar et al.(2010); Velankar and Kleywegt(2011); Velankar et al.(2011)). This effort reflects the realisation that 3D structure data is now used by a wide variety of non-expert scientists who need reliable information delivered in a biological or chemical context that is familiar to them (Velankar and Kleywegt(2011)). Current advanced services at PDBe include: (a) PDBeMotif (pdbe.org/motif), a service for analysing detailed molecular interactions and correlate them with sequence or structure patterns (Golovin and Henrick(2008)); (b) PDBeFold (pdbe.org/fold), a powerful interactive structurealignment tool (Krissinel and Henrick(2004)); (c) PDBePISA (pdbe.org/pisa), a quaternarystructure prediction service (Krissinel and Henrick(2007)); (d) PDBeXplore (pdbe.org/browse), a tool that allows browsing and analysis of the structural archive based on familiar chemical and biological classification systems (such EC, CATH and Pfam). Small-molecule ligands and their interactions with biomacromolecules are important, but they are often poorly determined and annotated. Therefore, PDBe plans to develop relevant services for both structure producers and users, e.g. for analysis, validation (Bruno et al.(2004)) and visualisation. Integration is a keyword in bioinformatics and the joint UniProt/PDBe mapping resource SIFTS (pdbe.org/sifts) will be further enriched with cross-references to other biological data resources. Validation is crucial for identifying reliable structures and regions in PDB entries. The wwPDB partners have convened Validation Task Forces for X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy and Electron cryo-Microscopy and their recommendations will be implemented as part of the new joint structure deposition and annotation system that is currently being developed. Finally, PDBe intends to provide services where the experimental data 1
can be visualised and used to assess the reliability of structures or details of structures (such as a binding site).
4 Conclusion Structural biology and bioinformatics encompass many different techniques and areas, and often these have to be combined to solve a problem. Structure determination is no longer an end in itself, but a key tool for gaining insight into a biological problem. This has created challenges in computation and informatics of macromolecular structure that are currently being addressed by the community working together.

I’ve been struggling with stomachaches for the last several years. Nothing debilitating, most of the time, but definitely not something I want to live with for the rest of my life. The pattern was random – I could go a week or two and be fine, and then the next week would be terrible. I long suspected some sort of food intolerance was at stake, but I didn’t know what. A few gluten and/or lactose free friends encouraged me to try an elimination diet, or just try eliminating one thing at a time until I found it. However, not wanting to give up my favorite foods, and not liking the prospect of randomly eliminating things for a couple weeks a at a time until something changed, I decided to get a blood food allergy test. While not 100% accurate, these tests look for antibodies in the blood specific to foods, and can offer a good starting point for anyone wishing to locate food intolerances.
The results that came back were not altogether surprising, but also weren’t things I would have thought to pinpoint on my own. While I had figured I had a problem with eggs, I hadn’t suspected bananas, cranberries, pineapple, mushrooms or broccoli – nor would most of these be eliminated in a standard elimination diet. I’ve since stopped eating any of these things and am feeling a good deal better. At some point I’ll try them all again to look for false positives, but that’s beside the point.
The point is, knowing I had some foods I needed to avoid gave me the motivation to really start rethinking how and what I eat. I wanted to start eating better food (healthier, more delicious, better quality, all of the above). Where better to start than with the stereotypical superfood, kale? I mean, they’re putting it in everything these days!
|(Credit to Theo’s Chocolate for this image)|
Okay, my thought process was less intentional than that. It started with “Oh, I should get produce from the farmer’s market”. A delicious bag of mixed greens from a stand I didn’t know led me to go back to that stand to buy more greens. But alas, they didn’t have any mixed greens.
What did they have? Kale. Lots and lots of kale.
It was cheap and plentiful, so I decided to try it. After listening to a long list of ideas for how to eat kale (from the seller and a loving customer who happened to walk up at the time), and a description of the different kinds of kale – because apparently such a thing exists – I bought a bundle of White Russian Kale to try.
Sadly, White Russian Kale isn’t nearly as tasty on its own as the standard White Russian drink, but it’s probably a good deal healthier, and there’s nothing wrong with consuming white russian kale at work.
So there’s that.
Per instructions, I put the kale in some water to freshen it up – in this case, a pyrex pan of water.
It eventually came time to inspect the kale, and I quickly discovered that kale is a very strange plant. Here you see leaves growing out of the leaves.
Go home, kale, you’re drunk.
It was probably all the White Russians.
Since I didn’t really feel like cooking things, I decided to make a kale salad for lunch. One of the suggestions was kale and strawberries, and there were some strawberries lying around my apartment that needed to get eaten (thanks roommate), so, well, perfect.
Kale slicing was easy with a sharp knife. You slice down the edge of the stalk to get the leafy bits.
Insert a few strawberries, slightly bruised, but otherwise delicious.
I also have to throw in a mention of my beautiful bento box. It’s beautiful, I love it, and at some point I’ll do a spotlight on things I’m doing with it. But right now, just enjoy its beauty.
Fun fact: kale is very tough. Its not so tough to eat, because teeth are awesome, but I did manage to break my beloved plastic travel spork while trying to eat this salad. So use caution.
It was, however, delicious.
Again with the kale slicing. This time I added a bunch of olive oil and some salt.
It tasted a little bland, so I added a little garlic powder, and then the chips were fantastic. My intention had been to save them for a snack for the camping trip I was leaving for the next morning…
I did decide, though, that they probably would have been better with kale that wasn’t mostly wilted. The really green chips were the best, the yellow and brown ones weren’t as good.
Random thought: one of my pet peeves when looking for recipes is food blogs that have tons of random pictures that I have to scroll through before I can see the recipe.
Look! Look! I made a food!
This time, when I went to the farmer’s market, I got curly kale. The market vendor told me she prefers curly kale to White Russian kale for kale chips because the leaves hold their shape better instead of going kaput in the oven. I’m pretty sure those were her words.
As you can see, curly kale is even crazier looking than White Russian kale. It’s just all… curls all over the place.
The vendor was right – curly kale held its shape better. However, I think I still prefer White Russians.
Erm, kale. That’s what I mean. It had a more pleasant flavor to it, and honestly, shape isn’t as important to me as flavor.
Take what you will of that sentence.
As you may have guessed from the title and intro to this post, my diet is changing at the moment. Hopefully this means more blog posts and more adventurous blog posts, as I try to navigate baking without chicken eggs, and snacking without bananas. And, you know, figuring out how to pack a lunch for myself every day without getting bored or ending up with a really weird lunch.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
- Slice kale into smaller bits, removing the large stalk in the middle
- Pile on a pan
- Drizzle olive oil and top with seasonings
- Bake until crispy, approximately 20 minutes, turning periodically (tongs are useful for this)
- Eat, share, crumple up and sprinkle on popcorn, whatever your heart desires
I, for one, am going to go look for chocolate to eat with my chips. Sounds delicious.
