Brick Rigs review
Brick Rigs is a puzzle game where you build contraptions to make your little Lego man roll around the stage to the exit. The stages are fairly large and the levels are well designed. The gameplay can be a little repetitive at times and it can be tough to get all 3 stars on a level. You get more points for completing levels in a shorter time. There are also some bonus levels which provide a little variety. It's a good game but does get a little repetitive.
Brick Rigs gameplay is a mix of many genres, such as: action, puzzle, strategy, simulator, etc. It's a very dynamic game, you can play it and spend hours without getting bored. Brick Rigs has a very good level design, in which all the levels are very interesting. The game is full of various kinds of bricks, some of them are destructible. You can destroy them with the help of a hammer. When you destroy them you will get gold pieces and other items. You can also get items by destroying boxes and other destructible items. You can also get items by destroying other vehicles and destroyable buildings. You can shoot other vehicles and people. You can also build bridges and buildings. The gameplay is very detailed and in-depth. The game is very dynamic and interesting.
Brick Rigs graphics are quite good. Although the game world is made of lego bricks, the developers did a great job on lighting, shaders and physics, thus making the game very pleasant for an eye.
Brick Rigs replayability is high because of the game's random nature. The player can play the game in a very different way than the last one.
In each game the player can choose one of the six available vessels. The vessel determines the vessel's length, the length of the fuel tank and the length of the engine. The length determines the ship's speed, acceleration and braking.
The player can customize the vessel with basic parts. The player can choose between one of four types of fuel cells, three types of engines, three types of rudders, two types of steering and two types of cannons.

Opinion | Demand that candidates explain their plan for Michigan schools
For anyone who cares about the quality of education in Michigan, our statewide races matter much more than directives from the federal government. Our K-12 education system is primarily shaped, funded, and controlled by state government. Our state’s elected officials have the power to support our teachers and students wisely or not.
Why is education a central issue in this year’s election cycle? In a word, Michigan is doing poorly. In a political climate with few points of agreement, there is refreshing consensus among business, political, and educational leaders on this point. We are not where we were as a state even 20 years ago, and we are headed in the wrong direction. Fortunately, Gov. Snyder and other state officials have declared the goal of returning Michigan to the “top 10.” That makes it much more difficult for candidates not to care about education.
This election cycle creates an excellent opening for ordinary citizens to support public education. They need to ask candidates for statewide office, “What will you do to improve the quality of our schools?” and assess their responses. Responses like, “We need to support our schools” are fine but insufficient. Basic issues of financial support and raising the quality of teachers’ instruction are at the heart of things.
Our Educational Quality Has Fallen Steeply
Few disagree about the poor state of Michigan education because we have an accepted measure of success—the National Assessment of Educational Progress, the “nation’s report card.” To cite two NAEP statistics, Michigan ranked 46th among states in the percentage of fourth-graders reading at proficiency or above in 2015, and 37th in eighth-grade mathematics. In the 1980s and 1990s, the state ranked in the top 15.
Related: Michigan's K-12 performance dropping at alarming rate
Related: On nation’s report card, Michigan students remain in back of class
Opinion: Michigan schools’ tests scores aren’t as bad as you think
NAEP scores are not the only useful measure of educational quality, but they have great impact because they allow direct comparisons between states. Employers weighing location in Michigan consider both the quality of the current workforce and school performance. K-12 educational quality predicts the likelihood of access to the skilled workforce of the future.
Why Have We Fallen?
If Michigan has fallen steeply and now compares poorly to other states, the obvious questions are why and what can be done about it. We need to ask candidates about both.
Simple answers aren’t possible, but state financing for K-12 education is a major factor. Revenue from the School Aid Fund fell from its high in the early 2000s and has remained roughly flat since 2010. Where Gov. Snyder has pointed to increases in education funding, those modest increases have at best kept up with inflation. In inflation-adjusted dollars, schools have fewer financial resources.
Though it is difficult to specify the per-student cost of a “good” education, evidence suggests the state’s basic student allotment of $7,631 is insufficient. The recent School Finance Research Collaborative report estimated the per-student cost at $9,590, excluding transportation costs. (The costs for preschool students, English language learners, and children living in poverty were considerably greater.) Voters should ask candidates about the SFRC report and their views of the gap between the two figures.
More Michigan education stories:
Candidates may respond that providing more state money for education does not guarantee better outcomes. Where that claim has a measure of truth, it is also true that without sufficient funding, there can be no high-quality education. So, ask candidates, “What do you think a sufficient basic student allotment is, and why?” These questions can push candidates to be much more specific in their stated positions.
Where Funding Meets Instructional Quality
Through my work in schools since 2000, I have seen their capacity to support high-quality education decline. Due to decreases in funding, local leadership and expertise to support teachers’ practice (curriculum specialists and instructional coaches) has dried up. These positions have either gone unfilled or the responsibility has shifted to staff who already have full-time jobs (typically principals). High-performing states have found the will and resources to provide this kind of local expertise. When professional development is available, Michigan schools have struggled to find substitute teachers willing to teach for $90 a day. These factors, among others, have led to a serious decline in teacher morale and the perceived status of the profession.
It will take time to rebuild schools’ capacity to educate our children well. But in this election cycle we can begin to move in a positive direction. We can’t simply hope that our elected officials will make prudent long-term decisions on their own. The best hope for higher-quality K-12 education in Michigan is informed and active voters asking the right questions and forcing more attention and commitment to this important responsibility.
We’ve been there for you with daily Michigan COVID-19 news; reporting on the emergence of the virus, daily numbers with our tracker and dashboard, exploding unemployment, and we finally were able to report on mass vaccine distribution. We report because the news impacts all of us. Will you please support our nonprofit newsroom?

The origin of the Great Halls
There are a remarkable number of great houses nearby. Kentwell Hall and Melford Hall amongst the survivors, and Acton Hall, once the size of a kings' palace now gone, along with Liston Hall.
Possibly the most enigmatic of these great halls is Melford Hall. Its origins are clearly monastic, but it is only recently that buildings archaeologists have taken it seriously, and they are now realising that the building is more ancient than we'd previously supposed.
Even Barry Wall's ingenious theory of attributing the major part of the building to the last abbot of Bury Abbey, Abbot Reeve, seems less cerain now, though he correctly suggested that there were remains of the 1450-1480 work in the building. What he took to be the grand west-facing monastic gatehouse now seems to be a later addition, replacing the original, and designed more for its visual effect as a grand garden backdrop. The north wing now seems likely to have originally been partly a chapel and partly collegiate cells. The south wing seems to have originated as a detached kitchen. The development of the hall seems to have been far more complex than previously thought, and to have taken place over an extended period.
Kentwell, too, had a rather more complex and protracted development as a house, and it is strange that the two houses evolved from such different origins to eventually look so similar, conforming to the classic Elizabethen E shape. Chilton Hall, as far as we can work out, once looked surprisingly similar to the two great Melford houses; all we can see now is one of the two side-wings. There is a great deal of work still to do, to understand these brick-built masterpieces. Our knowledge lags a long way behind timber-framed houses, which can now be dated accurately by their joints and by Dendrochronology. The study of the early history of the brick-built great houses of the area may yet bring some fresh surprises

DEADLINE EXTENDED: At Mast’s Request, Coast Guard Conducting Survey of St. Lucie, Loxahatchee Railroad Bridge Usage
Request Followed Concerns About Expanded Rail Traffic From Brightline; Comment Period Extended Until February 16, 2018: www.mast.house.gov/trainstudy
Stuart, Fla. – The U.S. Coast Guard is conducting a survey collecting information about waterway usage near the St. Lucie and Loxahatchee River Railroad Bridges following a request by U.S. Congressman Brian Mast (FL-18) to study the potential impact that expanded rail traffic, including as a result of Brightline, would have on the Treasure Coast maritime industry and recreational boaters. The original deadline was February 1, 2018 and has been extended to February 16, 2018 after an outpouring of survey responses.
“Before the proposed expansion of Brightline goes through, it is imperative that we understand the consequences of expanding rail traffic on our bridges,” Rep. Mast said. “At my request, the Coast Guard is completing a study into the use of our waterways, and they’re asking for your input. Your comments are critical to ensuring the Coast Guard understands how our community uses these waterways and the impact that expanded rail traffic would have moving forward.”
Rep. Mast wrote to the Coast Guard in October, 2017 requesting that they “conduct a thorough study of the current impact on accessibility of vessels under the railroad bridges on the St. Lucie River and Loxahatchee River, as well as the future impact on maritime traffic resulting from the proposed expansion of the Brightline Railway.” The full letter is attached.
Following that request, the U.S. Coast Guard is “soliciting input from the mariners who use these waterways in order to ensure that waterways management systems are serving their intended purpose.” The deadline to complete the survey is now February 16, 2018 and it can be completed online at www.mast.house.gov/trainstudy.
Rep. Mast has been a fierce opponent of the Brightline/All Aboard Florida project, arguing that it will disrupt our way of life on the Treasure Coast, lower property values and risk public safety. Last year, Florida East Coast Industries’ executive director Mike Reininger, who runs the parent company of Brightline and previously served as the CEO of All Aboard Florida, testified about financing for All Aboard Florida before Congress. At the hearing, Rep. Mast exposed numerous ways that All Aboard Florida is deceiving people in Florida about their funding sources.

Lewis Capaldi had to scrap a song he co-wrote with Niall Horan because it was "f***ing s***".
The 26-year-old Scottish singer is close pals with the 29-year-old Irish pop star but the song they penned together didn't make it onto the former's latest LP 'Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent' because it was rubbish, with the 'Pointless' singer joking that Niall must have penned "most of it".
Speaking about who he'd like to duet with, Lewis is quoted by The Mirror as saying: “Niall would be one of course. We wrote a song and it was not good. Yeah, it was f***ing s**t. He wrote most of it.”
He said of Niall's former bandmate: “Obviously Harry Styles — I am a big fan. He is really like a successful singer. Probably the biggest in the world at the moment and he is f****ing super-sexy.”
At the top of his wish list, however, is a fellow Scot.
He said: “I would love to do a collaboration with Paolo Nutini. He is my dream.
"He is an elusive man. He will just disappear for seven years. So trying to get him and pin him down . . . he is slippery.
“He has greased himself up and I chase him around the bedroom but he keeps getting away.
“If he is up for it, I would do it tomorrow."
Asked how to become a good songwriter, he quipped: “Get famous enough that Ed Sheeran will write with you. Just do it every day.
“I am the laziest person I know. The fact I made it here today is a miracle. Just write s*** songs but one day they will be less s***.”
Lewis and Niall have a longstanding bromance and are always poking fun at each other.
Recently, Niall accused Lewis of lying about doing his own washing.
The 1D star called out his pal over scenes in his Netflix documentary 'How I’m Feeling Now' in which the singer claims to sort out his own laundry - with Niall insisting Lewis was putting on a show for the cameras because he actually gets his mum to wash his dirty clothes for him.
Speaking during an appearance on BBC Radio 2, Niall said: "He doesn’t do his own washing. I spoke to his mother the other night. He’s a liar!
"He maybe did it for the cameras ... I swear to God, Carol [Lewis’ mother], I said to his mother the other day: 'Does Lewis pop around to the house or are you in his flat in Glasgow often?’ She goes: ‘Yeah, when he hands me the washing'."
Radio host Scott Mills suggested Lewis might take care of washing his own underpants, and Niall replied: "He probably has to do his own smalls ‘cause I wouldn’t hand his smalls to anyone else ... smalls that not even a mother would love!"

Researchers suggest milk as an effective delivery system for tea polyphenols, keeping the polyphenols bioactive and enabling them to continue reducing cancer cell proliferation.
Green tea polyphenols are often studied for their cancer-fighting effects; unfortunately, these polyphenols also tend to be poorly bioavailable and taste bad, researchers say. In a new Journal of Dairy Science study, these researchers suggest milk as an effective delivery system for tea polyphenols, keeping the polyphenols bioactive and enabling them to continue reducing cancer cell proliferation-specifically, colon cancer cells.
Catechins are the main polyphenols in green tea (comprising up to 85%). Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is considered the most biologically active of the green tea catechins. But the researchers say there are various reasons why polyphenols, including EGCG and green tea catechins, may still be poorly bioavailable. Reasons can include molecular structure and intestinal absorption.
Additionally, the type of food delivery system can impact polyphenol bioavailability. “[T]he interactions between the bioactive molecules and the food matrix are considered critical factors limiting or enhancing bioavailability,” the researchers wrote.
In the study, EGCG was nanoencapsulated and dispersed in milk samples. In one experiment, human colorectal cancer cells were grown for 24 hours in the presence of the EGCG in milk. Researchers then tallied the number of living cancer cells. When in milk, EGCG continued to reduce the viability of cancer cells. This decrease happened in a dose-dependent manner, meaning the higher the EGCG concentration (higher than 0.03 mg of EGCG/ml of milk), the higher the decrease in cancer cell proliferation. (This effect plateaued at very high concentrations, however.)
The researchers also tested EGCG’s effect on cancer cell proliferation in different types of milk samples-skim milk, milk whey, and milk serum-and again found that EGCG reduced cancer cell proliferation.
How does milk help keep EGCG bioactive? It may have to do with the way polyphenols bind to milk proteins (casein micelles), researchers said. “Polyphenols are known to have strong affinities to proteins rich in proline and proteins with an open and flexible structure, such as caseins….Protein and polyphenol interactions are driven by hydrogen bridging between the phenolic hydroxyl and peptide carbonyl, as well as interactions between hydrophobic amino acid residues and the phenolic rings.”
“These results support a new role for milk as an ideal platform for delivery of bioactive compounds and opens the door to a new generation of dairy products providing additional benefits to human health,” said the study authors Sanaz Haratifar and Milena Corredig from the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada.
It’s important to ensure that polyphenols can still deliver their benefits in functional foods. “In order to exert their biological health benefits in vivo, polyphenols must be available and still active, even when present in a food matrix,” said Haratifar and Corredig.
Encapsulating EGCG in the milk did not lower EGCG’s bioaccessibility either. “As casein micelles may act as protective carriers for EGCG in foods, it was concluded that nanoencapsulation of tea catechins in casein micelles may not diminish their antiproliferative activity on colon cancer cells compared with free tea catechins,” they wrote.
Nanoencapsulation may also combat some of the “off taste” issues associated with polyphenols when used in food products. “Sensory studies have shown that caseins…due to their strong binding ability to tea catechins, decrease the sensation of astringency caused by the tea polyphenols,” the researchers wrote.
The Ontario Dairy Council and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Council of Canada funded the study.

You and I step into Tapper’s together. We sit down and wave the barman over. He asks us our orders before handing us a root beer each. We both smell it in disgust because it’s root beer and so I offer you a ginger beer, spiced with cinnamon for the festive season.
“So,” you pop the lid off your beer, “How was your day?”
“Well,” I reply, “I’ve just come back from a really cool movie.”
“Oh yeah?” you ask, intrigued, “What movie?”
“Wreck-it Ralph 2: Ralph Breaks the Internet.”
“No way!” you nearly spill your drink in surprise, “I thought that didn’t come out till Boxing Day!”
“It does come out Boxing Day,” I sigh dejectedly, “but it comes out in America, like, a few days ago, so here I am, reviewing it for you.”
“Oh, well,” you calm down a bit, “So how was it?”
It’s not often a sequel manages to beat its predecessor. I loved Wreck-It Ralph. I’m a gamer so I loved all of its game jokes, great lines and quirky characters. But Ralph Breaks the Internet did what I thought near impossible. It’s bigger, better, and downright cooler.
When the plug is pulled from Sugar Rush, Vanellope and her fellow candy racers are left homeless. Ralph, who may have had a little something to do with it, is determined to help his new bestest friend in the whole wide universe get her game back! So they leave the confines of the arcade for the big, scary and exciting new horizons of … THE INTERNET.
Much like in the real world, the internet is full of awesome and interesting people. And I think that’s why this film is immediately better than the first. Fix-It Felix and Sgt Calhoun are almost drab in comparison to the long list of cool characters introduced in Ralph Breaks the Internet!
Just because Ralph and Vanellope aren’t in the arcade anymore, doesn’t mean there aren’t any good game jokes. The movie still remembers where it came from and it remembers it well. But Ralph Breaks the Internet is also rife with internet jokes and memes. Visual gags abound!
You’ll be pleased to know that not all the jokes were said in the trailer. And the teaser trailers don’t give away entire scenes, praise the Lord. So, yes, there’s more to the princess scene than what you’ve no doubt already witnessed!
Now, I’ve seen my fair share of Disney movies, and as you would expect the themes in Ralph Breaks the Internet are about friendship and family. Although, I don’t think I’ve seen this take on it. In the last movie (which was six years ago! Oh my gosh, what the heck, that’s so long ago!), Ralph finally finds a friend in Vanellope after being hated by everyone for his entire life. However, despite being incredibly happy, he’s become insecure and obsessive about his friendship with her. So Ralph needs to learn to let her go, and to not be that annoyingly clingy friend.
Oddly, I found this quite refreshing. It’s such an interesting and common occurrence in human relationships but I don’t think I’ve ever seen it raised as an issue in a film, let alone a Disney film.
If you’re not into the moral teachings of modern Disney films, then don’t worry about it at all – the movie is still an exciting ride! Literally. My favourite scene (and not because it involves the incredible Shank) is an enthralling race between Vanellope and the boss of Slaughter Race, which seems to be a cross between Mad Max and The Fast and the Furious. It was insaaaane.
“Huh, so you think it’s worth seeing at the movies?” you ask as you drain the last of your drink.
“Yeah! Definitely!” I reply, “It’s really fun, and bright and funny, and I just really enjoyed myself a lot the entire time.”
“But not until Boxing Day, right?”
“Oh, yeah,” I frown for a moment before lighting up again, “But it’s definitely worth the wait! And you don’t need the kids as an excuse to watch it either. It’s crazy and exciting and emotional and cool, even for us adult-folk. Perhaps especially so.”
“And out of ten?”
“Definitely a nine. An easy nine.”
We stand to leave, laying change next to our empty bottles and untouched root beer.
“Thanks for the drink,” I wave goodbye to you, “Til next time.”

Crazy cheap 5G phones with Qualcomm Snapdragon 4-series power are right around the corner
At €399, the surprisingly feature-packed OnePlus Nord is one of the most affordable 5G smartphones widely available on the old continent. Stateside, T-Mobile claimed that title with the own-brand $400 REVVL 5G just last week, but even though its announcement was annoyingly light on details, the Samsung Galaxy A42 5G could soon step in and take the market's entry point down to $300 or so.
If that happens, you might start wondering if there's any room left to go even lower, and the answer is already a resounding yes. While it's hard to predict exactly how much the world's cheapest 5G-enabled handsets will cost this time next year, bargain hunters can definitely expect to spend way less than $400 when the first wave of phones powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 4-series 5G "platform" enters the scene.
first 5G-capable Snapdragon 4xx processor, this is scheduled to see daylight in "early 2021" and find its way inside commercial devices by the end of the year's first quarter.Although Qualcomm is staying mum on the specifications, features, and even the model number of its
The semiconductor giant's main objective for this largely mysterious chipset is obviously to support the "rapid proliferation of 5G" by primarily "addressing regions that currently have approximately 3.5 billion smartphone users combined." In other words, Qualcomm envisions the processor as a key growth driver for 5G handsets in markets where most consumers can't afford the likes of the Galaxy S20, Note 20, iPhone 12, or even the LG Velvet, Galaxy A71, or Galaxy A51 5G.
Unfortunately, Samsung is not yet named as one of Qualcomm's launch partners for the new "5G mobile platform", and obviously, neither is Apple.
But Motorola, Oppo, and Xiaomi can already confirm their future participation in this ambitious 5G expansion project, which gives us hope that a Moto G or One-series device with built-in 5G support could be released in the US at $250 or even $200 sometime next year.

Here’s a fun idea! George Woodville, 20, from Cambridge, England, has decided to go barefoot for the rest of his life. It was after a family trip to Plymouth, in October 2021, that the young man had the click. “I was hiking and I was suddenly struck by this thought: why do we wear shoes?”, he says in the columns of the Daily Mail. “When I got back to the hotel, I immediately searched the internet for the benefits of barefoot walking and discovered this incredible community. At that exact moment, I decided that I would never wear shoes again.” That same evening, George was going to a restaurant with his family, and for the first time, the young man was barefoot. On returning home to Cambridge, George Woodville then threw away the twenty shoes he had to carry out his project. Since then, the 20-year-old Briton has remained confined to this initiative, in defiance of the weather and the seasons. “In winter it was a bit difficult at first because it was very cold and I had just started walking barefoot, and when it was cold and wet you really felt it. But like everything, after a while, you get used to it,” he says.
Apart from the sometimes extreme temperatures – this summer, he walked on the hot sidewalks in the heat wave – George also adapts to the waste that can litter the ground, namely cigarette butts, shards of glass or dog excrement. “Sometimes I find pieces of glass in my feet but they usually fall off on their own after a few days”, assures the young man before adding: “I have already walked on dog poop. If my feet are really dirty, I will ask someone to give me a bucket of water before I come home, or I will try to find a puddle of water to clean my feet.”

A post shared by The Barefoot Guy (@georgewoodville)
“I hope to become a millionaire”
Behind this new way of life, George Woodville still has an idea in mind: to become rich, very rich. The one who has more than 520,000 subscribers on TikTok thanks to his barefoot videos created an OnlyFans account at the start of the year on which he monetizes his foot photos. “It’s pretty amazing to think that my feet could pay my bills,” he says before adding: “I hope to become a millionaire and I wouldn’t be surprised to earn that money in the next five years or so” .

Powdered sugar is made by combining finely ground sugar with cornstarch (used to prevent caking). … If the original sugar was refined cane sugar then powdered sugar would not be vegan. Conversely, if the original sugar was vegan-friendly then so too is the powdered sugar as cornstarch is almost always vegan-friendly.
Which powdered sugars are vegan?
These 6 Sugars Are Totally Vegan (Not Every Sugar Is!)
- Florida Crystals. This raw sugar company makes your standard white and brown sugars, but we tend to reach for this brand when we need the demerara variety. …
- Now Foods Beet Sugar. …
- Rapunzel Organic Whole Cane Sugar. …
- Sugar in the Raw. …
- Trader Joe’s. …
What is a vegan substitute for powdered sugar?
Vegan powdered sugar is expensive to buy, but very easy and cheap to make at home. The store-bought ones cost from $3.20 to over $5.00 per pound, but it only costs $0.74 per pound to make your own with Zulka sugar! All you need is a blender, vegan sugar, and a starch (corn, tapioca, or arrowroot):
Why is some powdered sugar not vegan?
Brown sugars (light or dark) and powdered sugars are usually made from refined white sugar, either by adding different amounts of molasses to the crystals, or by pulverizing the granules until they turn into a powder. Either way, the white sugar used to create these products is not considered vegan.
Does powdered sugar have dairy?
Confectioner’S Sugar is dairy free. Confectioner’S Sugar does not contain dairy.
Is great value powdered sugar vegan?
While it does not explicitly say on Walmart’s website, it is highly likely that Great Value sugar is refined cane sugar. Therefore, Great Value sugar is NOT vegan.
Do vegans use sugar?
The short answer is: some sugar is vegan. The most helpful thing that we can do for animals is to make compassionate choices every time that we spend our money. Eating vegan isn’t about “perfection” or a quest for personal purity—it’s about achieving real change for animals suffering in the food industry.
What is a healthy alternative to powdered sugar?
Creating a sugar-free powdered sugar substitute is very easy. All you need is a little cornstarch and the same amount of granulated Splenda that your recipe lists for the powdered sugar.
Is confectioners sugar the same as powdered sugar?
What is powdered sugar? Well, simply put, powdered sugar (and confectioner’s sugar, icing sugar, and 10X; they’re all the same) is granulated white sugar thats been pulverized to a powder and mixed with a small but mighty amount of cornstarch.
What can I use if I don’t have powdered sugar?
Pour granulated sugar into a blender or food processor. Blend the sugar until it is a fine, fluffy powdered sugar. The more refined, whiter sugars make the fluffiest powdered sugars. Use powdered sugar immediately or save it for later.
Is Coke a vegan?
Coca-Cola does not contain any ingredients derived from animal sources and can be included in a vegetarian or vegan diet.
Why is wine not vegan?
No, despite wine being essentially alcoholic grape juice, a lot of it isn’t vegan at all (or even vegetarian). This is due to fining agents being added to speed up the clarification process. These additives can contain the following: Gelatine (derived from animal skin and connective tissue).
Is dark brown sugar vegan?
Is Bone Char in Brown Sugar? Bone char does get used in brown sugar because of how brown sugar is created. Brown sugar is made from refined sugar with molasses added in. The refined sugar could come from refineries that use bone char to process their sugar, which potentially makes brands of brown sugar not vegan.
Does powdered sugar contain cornstarch?
Commercial confectioners’ sugar typically contains cornstarch, which prevents caking and clumping. … If you are using the confectioners’ sugar right away, it’s not necessary to add cornstarch.
Why is powdered sugar cold?
The sugar, even in powdered form, retains a certain crystal structure. When in contact with water (in your mouth) it requires a certain amount of energy to “break” this structure and dissolve. It takes this energy in the form of heat from its surroundings (in this case from your tongue), making it feel cold in return.
Does powdered sugar melt?
It will not melt even if it is sprinkled on whipped cream or ice cream. It is mostly used for decorative purposes.

U.S. Census Bureau Director Steven Dillingham testified Wednesday that he was not notified ahead of time about President Trump’s decision to sign an executive order to exclude undocumented immigrants from counting toward the apportionment of congressional districts. In a hearing with the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, Dillingham said he was unaware of anyone from his office being involved in the order, which has been labeled as unconstitutional.
Trump issued a memorandum last week that stated undocumented immigrants would not be factored when drawing congressional district lines, a process usually dictated by the total population found in the census. Multiple lawsuits have been filed challenging the order. Dillingham was unclear on whether or not his office would be moving ahead with completing the census by the end of the year despite delays caused by the pandemic. Associated Press
Former DHS Heads Criticize Portland Invasions
Michael Chertoff, who served as Homeland Security secretary under former President George W. Bush, said the agency’s decision to send agents to Portland, Oregon to police protests was very unusual. The agency has been the subject of much debate for its role in the Portland protests, where agents have been sent under the guise of protecting federal property. Tom Ridge, the agency’s first secretary, also criticized the decision to send in agents, saying DHS is not to be used as the president’s “personal militia.” The Wall Street Journal

Sisters of the Southern Cross (Paperback)
Currently not available through our publishers/warehouses. Please check back or email firstname.lastname@example.org..
Queensland, Australia 1936Sister Claire McAuliffe has been called from Dungarvan, County Waterford, to do God's work in Jumaaroo, Queensland. Along with four other sisters she is charged with setting up a Catholic school for the education of the gold rush families. But life between the tropical Australian rainforest and azure ocean is far from the spectacular paradise it seems. Sister Claire finds life challenging in more ways than she can count, the heat, the terrifying creatures that lurk in every nook and cranny, the crocodiles and snakes, but far more worrying is the constant presence of the much loved mayor of Jumaaroo, Joseph McGrath. Why does a person so respected give Claire such cause for concern?Is it the cruel way he speaks about the Aboriginal people who live on the mission? A closed community run by a peculiar religious leader who seems to deeply resent the arrival of the nuns? As Claire learns of the manner in which the Bundagulgi are treated, she is forced to act, but nobody wants to upset the status quo, and a meddlesome nun suddenly is a dangerous one.

Once upon a time 10 Indian towns dominated the Bucks County forest.
Vestiges. That’s about all we’re left with. A few arrowheads here. Pottery fragments there. Shards carved from soft stone in other places. They are hints of a thriving Native American civilization that once existed in beautiful Bucks County. In my years researching Bucks, I’ve gained enough insight to sketch out a kind of atlas of the location of 10 Indian towns among many Native American sites:
Kildorpy, Falls Township: An English history published in 1648 indicated this Indian town was near the falls on the Delaware River in present day Morrisville. Colonist Robert Evelin described the town on “clear fields to plant and sow, and near it are sweet large meads of clover and honeysuckle.” No other evidence exists of Kildorpy nor a translation of the name.
Playwicki, Lower Southampton: A large collection of Lenape Indian relics proves the existence of a major Native American town off today’s Route 213 near where it crosses Neshaminy Creek. Playwicki means “the place full of turkeys where prisoners of warfare were forced to run the gauntley.” The Bucks County Historical Society in 1923 put up a fieldstone monolith with a plaque on the edge of the highway to memorialize Playwicki. Today, the site is Lower Southampton’s Playwicki Farm Park where history and artifacts are preserved and hiking trails proliferate. Lenape Chief Tamanend sold the tract to William Penn in 1682.
Pemipacka, Warminster: On a tributary of Pennypack Creek in Warminster near the Montgomery County border was the Indian town of Pemipacka – translated as “bear-fat creek”. It was a favorite Indian hunting ground for bears for their high energy fatty meat.
Hollekonk, Buckingham: Nestled in Buckingham Valley at the western base of Buckingham Mountain was the Indian town of “Hollekonk”. Lenape Indians drew water from a natural spring located there in a field on today’s Barley Sheaf B&B estate off Route 202. Geologic forces created Hollekonk when the roof of an underground river collapsed. There is evidence the last group of Lenape Indians to leave Bucks for Ohio in 1775 did so after gathering at the spring. Tribal leader Isaac Still left with the men, women and children heading west “far away from war and rum,” as he put it on the eve of the American Revolution. Hollekonk (also known today as Holicong) defies any Indian translation.
Lahaskeke, Buckingham: Located about 3 miles north of Hollekonk on the border between Buckingham and Solebury was the town of Lahaskeke – translated as “the place of much writing”. It’s known today as Peddler’s Village on Route 202. Lahaska Creek arises there and flows south to Neshaminy Creek.
Paunakussing, Solebury: This once vibrant Indian town is today’s picturesque village of Carversville. Colonial settlers jettisoned the name Paunakussing for Milton in reference to several mills founded along what is today Paunaucussing Creek. Milton officially became Carversville when the first post office opened there under postmaster Thomas Carver. Paunakussing in Indian dialect means “where the powder was given to us.”
Tuckwimensing, Solebury: Today’s Solebury Village was once the site of Tuckwimensing, meaning “at the place of the trees of round nuts.” Walnut trees, that is. Many artifacts of Native American society have been recovered there. The sale in 1702 of 250 acres to William Croasdale “at Tooqueminsey in Soulbury Township” verifies the Indian town existed.
Gattalosso, Solebury: In a meadow off Aquatong Road was this Indian town at the headwaters of today’s Cuttalossa Creek. The creek carves its way through a spectacularly steep gorge framing fertile bottom lands and Colonial-era homes before emptying in the Delaware River at the closed Cuttalossa Inn on Route 32 (River Road) below Lumberville. English settlers were completely baffled about how to spell the name of the Indian town. Variations include Quatielassie, Quetyelassy, Quotylossey, Cutelausse and Cuttelassey before finally settling on Cuttalossa – for the creek.
Winnahawchunick, Solebury: There was yet a fourth Indian town in fertile Solebury. Winnahawchunick was located where Pidcock Creek joins the Delaware River in today’s upper section of Washington Crossing Historic Park. The site is better known today as the location of the Thompson-Neely House and grist mill beneath Bowmans Hill. Winnahawchunick is translated as “at the hill near the water.” It’s long been suggested a monument be erected at the site to memorialize the Indian town but no action has been taken.
Pechoqueolin, Nockamixon: This was the largest Indian town in Bucks County based on a vast number of Native American relics discovered at the aboriginal site. Located just below the Durham Township border at the creek’s mouth on the Delaware River, Pechoqueolini translates as “at a gap through the mountains.” High cliffs on both sides of the river exist in the area. Among the artifacts found by archeologists are polishing stones, grooved axes, celts, knives, pestles, hoes, drills, ceremonial hatchets, pottery fragments and amulets.

What Is a Graphics Card?
Simply put, a graphics card is the hardware component that controls the graphics in your computer and determines what you see on your monitor. Though many motherboards have a built-in graphics card capable of displaying the basics to your screen, if you want to play any modern PC games, you need a standalone graphics card. Graphics cards range from as little as $100 to as high as $700, with a simple rule of thumb being that the more expensive the card, the better it is. A high-end graphics card can produce jaw-dropping graphics that will blow you away while a low-end graphics card will require you to turn all the display settings down for modern games. Price isn’t the only determining factor; you also want to look for both the amount and type of RAM a card has. The more RAM a card has, the better it will perform.
If you’re building a gaming PC or planning on upgrading a current one, the graphics card is the one area you shouldn’t skimp on if you can afford it. A high-end graphics card will allow you to play PC games on the highest settings for at least a few years, while a budget graphics card will require you to upgrade to a newer card in the span of a year or two if you want to play the hottest titles.
Who Are the Major Graphics Card Brands?
One of the first things that someone new to the world of graphics cards notices is that there are a lot of brands, with two or more names sometimes listed on one box! The best way to understand the different graphics cards brands and how they interact is to think of the hierarchy in the shape of a pyramid.
At the top of the pyramid is NVIDIA and AMD, the companies behind the technology that powers each graphics card. Rather than make the cards themselves, these two companies license their technology to a handful of smaller companies, such as EVGA, MSI and Gigabyte, to manufacture and sell graphics cards using their technology. Many times, multiple companies will make a card using the same technology, with the only difference being the size and weight of the card along with the software that comes in the box.
While some gamers may have their preferences towards a certain manufacturer, for the most part, everyone is on equal ground. While some gamers believe in brand loyalty, such as NVIDIA cards providing better graphics and MSI having more durable cards, in general, you’ll get the same performance from similar cards no matter which brand you decide to purchase.
What Is SLI and CrossFire?
You may notice on some graphics cards that they boast compatibility with SLI or CrossFire technology. The easiest way to describe this technology is that it’s the process of linking two similar graphics cards together via a cable to achieve double the processing power. NVIDIA’s name for this technology is SLI while AMD uses the term CrossFire, though both terms mean the same thing. Only the most hardcore gamers who want to get the best possible graphics are going to want to delve into SLI or CrossFire technology; for the majority of PC gamers out there, one decent graphics card is more than enough to achieve a beautiful looking picture on any PC game.
What Is a Bottleneck?
As previously mentioned in this guide, the more RAM a card has, the better it performs, so you may think it’s best just to go out and buy the biggest and most expensive card you can find. However, before you click that “Submit Order” button, there is one thing that can stop you from getting the most out of your graphics card: bottlenecks.
The formal definition of a bottleneck is “a point of congestion or blockage,” which is the same definition when used regarding your graphics card. One of the first things this guide mentioned was the holy trinity of PC hardware, which is RAM, CPU and the graphics card. If one of these hardware elements is substandard, it’s going to limit the output of the other components, causing a bottleneck. For example, you can purchase the best graphics card available but with an average CPU and a substandard amount of RAM, you’re going to get decreased output from your card and limit its potential. Before purchasing a graphics card, take a look at the rest of your PC’s hardware components and buy one that compliments the rest of your setup rather than significantly exceeds it. If you have some expendable income, consider upgrading your RAM and CPU at the same time as your graphics card, if possible.
What Else Do I Need to Know?
If you’re confident that your CPU and RAM won’t bottleneck your graphics card, there is still a few more considerations to keep in mind: size, slot type and cooling.
As mentioned in the section about brands, many times one of the different factors between similar graphics cards is the size. Some companies opt to create humongous cards with multiple fans in an attempt to keep the temperature low. While it’s always great when a manufacturer packs a card full of extra features, an oversized graphics card will have trouble fitting into an average-sized PC case, which can cause issues. For example, an oversized graphics card could block access to other areas on your motherboard or, in a worst-case scenario, will not fit into your case at all. Before buying a graphics card, make sure to measure the available space in your PC case to ensure the card will fit.
When you measure the open space in your PC case, take note of the types of slots your motherboard has so you can buy the appropriate card for those slots. For example, if the graphics card you buy needs to fit into a PCIe slot and your motherboard only has standard PCI slots, you just purchased a very expensive paperweight.
Lastly, there is cooling. Most graphics card come with stock coolers that keep your card’s temperature down and are perfect for the majority of PC gamers. However, if you’re planning on gaming for hours on end or overclocking your graphics card, you will want to look into aftermarket coolers.

Where is Josep Miquel Arenas Beltrán?
The rapper, who performs as Valtonyc, convicted for his lyrics, has fled Spanish territory to avoid going to prison and to work from Europe in defence of freedom of expression, according to a number of sources El Nacional has spoken too. The rapper has gone into exile, probably to Switzerland or Belgium.
This Thursday will see the end of the ten-day period he has to present himself at prison. He could choose from any he wanted in Spain, but has decided to not go to any. He was sentenced to three and a half years in prison by Spain's Supreme Court for his lyrics on charges of glorifying terrorism, humiliating victims, insulting king Juan Carlos I and threatening Jorge Campos of the right-wing political party Actúa Baleares.
Although he had 10 days to go to prison, the musician was otherwise free to travel as he wished, and wasn't to have been monitored. Nonetheless, it's believed that police put together a surveillance and tracking team to prevent him catching a flight or leaving the island of Mallorca where he lives. If so, they appear to have lost his trail.
Police team, dodged
Valtonyc has left before. He's left the island whilst police were preparing a team precisely to avoid him doing so. Hundreds of his fans bought plane tickets in his name with different destinations in a campaign designed to throw off Spain's security forces. The rapper left Mallorca more than 10 days ago without raising any sort of suspicion.
In fact, the large-scale buying of tickets in his name started after he had already left Spanish territory. The request was from 15th to 24th May.
The police started warning this Tuesday that they didn't know where he was. In fact, it's been days since the musician has appeared in public; the only news about him has been on social media.
Valtonyc planned, as has now become public, to not present himself voluntarily to prison, which would mean a legal warrant being issued and him being arrested at home to be taken by force into custody. As such, if he doesn't turn up by himself, police will go to his house to find him. But the rapper has already hinted on Twitter that they won't find anyone there.
Mañana es el día. Mañana van a tumbar la puerta de mi casa para meterme en la carcel. Por unas canciones. Mañana España va a hacer el ridículo, una vez más. No se lo voy a poner tan fácil, desobedecer es legítimo y obligación ante este estado fascista. Aquí no se rinde nadie.— Josep V. (@valtonyc) 23 de maig de 2018
Translation: Tomorrow is the day. Tomorrow, they're going to knock down the door of my house to put me in prison. For some songs. Tomorrow, Spain is going to make a fool of itself, once again. I'm not going to make it so easy for them, disobeying is legitimate and an obligation in the face of this fascist state. Here nobody surrenders.
The legal path
Meanwhile, his lawyer, Juan Manuel Olarieta, has already appealed to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. He's presented an appeal calling for the two sentences to be overturned. In the appeal, they argue that the rapper's basic rights have been violated. The lawyer asked Strasbourg to suspend his entry to prison whilst the appeal is considered.

Going wireless in Greenland
17 June 2019
Glaciers are beginning to move faster than they have ever done before.
Our warming world is melting the ice on top of glaciers, causing meltwater to trickle down through cracks and holes and act as a lubricant over which the glacier can roll – much like shopping items on a conveyer belt.
When a glacier slides downstream and eventually meets the ocean, it melts and causes sea levels to rise with potentially devastating effects for coastal communities around the world.
Naturally, scientists have been trying to measure the amount of meltwater that sits beneath glaciers for a long time in order to better understand why they are moving so fast and how they will change in the future.
However, it is a task that is a lot more challenging than it initially sounds.
That’s why scientists from Cardiff University, who head out to Greenland this month on two separate expeditions, are embracing modern wireless technology and employing never-before-used techniques with a rather unusual array of scientific kit.
Leading the work is Dr Liz Bagshaw, from the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, who, for the past 10 years, has been developing tiny wireless sensors that can gather measurements from more than 2000 metres inside a glacier, whilst at the same time withstanding the extreme conditions.
“Scientists have traditionally sent sensors down to the bottom of glaciers on extremely long and flexible cables,” said Dr Bagshaw.
“The problem is that if you leave them there for long enough to get accurate readings over a longer time scale, the movement of the glacier ends up snapping the cables. That’s why we need wireless sensors.”
The initial prototypes developed by Dr Bagshaw and colleagues from Bristol University were made from Christmas baubles, which provided a perfect shell from which the case of the sensors could be moulded.
“After exploring a number of different possibilities, it turned out that Christmas bauble moulds were absolutely perfect, because they were cheap, could be made strong, and could fit into meltwater channels under the ice,” continued Dr Bagshaw.
The technology, now known as a ‘Cryoegg’, has been scaled up to the size of a grapefruit (around 12 cm in diameter) and includes a tiny circuit board within a mould that can measure the pressure, electrical conductivity and temperature of the surrounding meltwater.
The individual measurements that the sensors collect are very simple; however, combined they provide the team with a very detailed picture of the conditions underneath the glacier.
One of the biggest challenges the team face is retrieving the data from deep within the thick ice.
The project is helped by two international ice boring missions: RESPONDER, which is using hot water to make a deep hole in the ice, and EGRIP, which is extracting a 2.5 km long ice core using a specially designed drill.
The Cryoegg team will use these boreholes to access the bottom of the ice. Once the sensors are inserted into the boreholes, it’s more than likely that the ice will freeze over, making it impossible to physically retrieve the sensors.
As such, they rely on the wireless transmission of the data; but finding the right frequency is key.
“We find that VHF radio signals – slightly higher than those used for FM radio - are the best to use as they have a low enough frequency to penetrate the ice,” said Dr Mike Prior-Jones, an electrical engineer from the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences.
Finding radio technology that could be integrated into the sensors proved to be difficult, but a solution was found using components from gas smart meters that are commonly used in Germany.
“This technology was ideal for us because it is intended to be used in battery powered devices,” continued Dr Prior-Jones.
“For gas metering, they power the radio using a battery that lasts more than five years. The whole radio technology is optimised around using very little power from the battery. In our case, we want the instrument to make a few measurements a day and send them back to the surface. The rest of the time it’s asleep, in order to save the battery.
“So this technology was a great match – Cryoegg wakes up, makes its measurements, transmits them, and then goes back to sleep again within a few seconds. We expect that it will operate for more than a year underneath the glacier.”
The final piece of the jigsaw was finding a way to retrieve the signals on the surface of the glacier. As radio signals have a low frequency, a relatively large TV-style antenna is needed to pick up the signals. Furthermore, the antenna must be suspended so that it can point down towards the ice.
Dr Prior-Jones found the perfect solution after friends suggested using Quadro – a children’s climbing frame product that can be constructed like scaffolding to produce support structures in a variety of size and shapes. More importantly, it is very lightweight and can be easily transported, which is vital when planning an expedition to Greenland.
“The Quadro system is perfect, because it’s non-metallic and very versatile. Any metal in the antenna support would disturb the radio waves and might cause us to lose the signal. It also packs up very conveniently for transport, and we can build it into different shapes to fit around the terrain if we need to,” said Dr Prior-Jones. “We’re grateful to the Quadro company in Hamburg for donating us their product for the expedition.”
The overall result is a system that will be able to accurately monitor conditions within the glacier over an extended period of time. In practice, the sensors will be dropped into boreholes that will be drilled into the ice and will power up a couple of times a day to take its readings, after which it will ping data up to the antenna before going back to sleep to preserve its battery.
“The most exciting part of this project is the way in which we’ve been able to adapt to the extreme conditions posed in Greenland using cheap and readily available kit that already exists. This is true science in action – tackling large-scale problems using knowledge, creativity and teamwork,” said Dr Bagshaw.
The project is funded by the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.
