Wendy’s Dairy-Free Menu Guide with Allergen Notes & Vegan Options
Unfortunately, Wendy’s is a bit of a hot mess with their allergen information, particularly for dairy-free customers. In trying to be overly cautious, they mislead and confuse consumers. They label some items that don’t contain milk (i.e. Chili, Grilled Chicken, and Egg) as containing milk due to potential cross-contamination on the grill. But then other items made on those same grills (i.e. Hamburger and Sausage Patties) just have cross-contamination warnings, and do not state contains milk. We’ve done our best to organize it! The specifics listed are from the United States allergen details, and might be slightly different in Canada and other countries.
More Allergen Notes: All items listed below are also made without peanuts, tree nuts, and eggs, unless otherwise noted.

Grilled Chicken Sandwich: Wendy’s Grilled Chicken Sandwich does not contain dairy by ingredients (according to the company). But it’s labeled with “contains milk” due to the potential cross-contamination with milk on the grill.

- Creamy Sriracha (contains egg)
- Honey Mustard (contains egg)
- Side of S’Awesome (contains egg)
- Sweet & Sour
Heads Up! All buns are toasted in a common toaster at Wendy’s, and their cheddar buns, croissants, breakfast rolls, and biscuits all contain milk. Untoasted buns are available on request, but they still use common cutting boards.

Plain baked potato
February 13, 2021
My daughter got me a plain baked potato. Not sure if she said dairy-free. Received buttery spread & sour cream. Sour cream shows milk. Spread ingredients too small to read.
Response from Go Dairy Free
It sounds like they gave you the sour cream potato. The Plain Baked Potato is literally just a potato -> https://order.wendys.com/product/30469/plain-baked-potato?referrer=category%2F103%2Ffries-sides – she shouldn’t have had to say dairy-free. Their Buttery Spread does contain milk.

Eira Corral Sepulveda, 34, may be the clerk in northwest suburban Hanover Park, a village of roughly 40,000 people that spans Cook and DuPage counties, but she decided to launch her campaign for a seat on the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD) of Greater Chicago — the entity responsible for treating wastewater and managing storm water — here in Forest Park.
Surrounded by roughly 50 of her supporters at Urban Pioneer Group in Forest Park on Sept. 24, Sepulveda framed her candidacy with diverse representation and climate resiliency.
“I’m running to represent the county as a whole, but this would be the first time we have an opportunity to have representation on MWRD from the western and northwestern suburbs,” Sepulveda said in an interview moments before she spoke at her kickoff. “Most of the [MWRD] elected officials are from Chicago and a few are from the North Shore.”
Sepulveda, who is married to Melrose Park native and well-known community leader Roberto Sepulveda, said her family often visits Forest Park.
“I spend a lot of family time here,” she said. “Even though I live in Hanover Park, we spend our Mother’s Days here. We like to eat ice cream at the Brown Cow and walk downtown. It’s a wonderful suburb.”
Sepulveda is one of three candidates running for three open seats on the MWRD board in the 2020 elections who were slated by the Cook County Democratic Party. The other two endorsed candidates, Cam Davis and Kim Du Buclet, are incumbents.
Forest Park Mayor Rory Hoskins and Cook County Clerk Karen Yarbrough were on hand during last month’s launch.
“Eira is a personal friend,” Hoskins said. “I met her through her husband, Roberto, around 2009. It was around the time she became clerk of Hanover Park. She’s a great person and I think she’ll bring a lot to the MWRD.”
“We were really excited about her credentials and her abilities,” said Yarbrough. “We look forward to her taking a seat with MWRD.”
Sepulveda, who was 23 when she was elected clerk, was for a time the youngest elected official in the state, she said.
“I think they saw an opportunity to have a dynamic leader, a Latino elected for 10 years and who has experience in local government and environmental justice,” she said. “Being clerk taught me to stay connected to people.”
Sepulveda touted her part in making Hanover Park more economically resilient, explaining her role in bringing nationally acclaimed Arbor Day and recycling initiatives to the suburb. She said that, if elected, she’ll be particularly focused on ensuring that the district is moving forward on climate resiliency initiatives equitably.
“We’ve become much wetter, which puts more strain on the infrastructure and capacity of our system,” she said. “We need to build resiliency against climate change to ensure people’s sewers aren’t being flooded. It’s very important we address that in an equitable way. Data shows that the zip codes that are primarily impacted by wetter climate through increased flooding are in black and brown communities.”
Sepulveda said she’s had personal experience with flooding.
“When I first bought my home, I was a single mom and it was very difficult having to deal with the flood and the insurance process,” she said. “It was emotionally and financially difficult. This is a critical issue many of our residents face. Instead of enjoying the rain, people are freaking out because their basements might get flooded.”

The Effect of Endozym β-split, a Commercial Enzyme Preparation Used for Aroma Release, on Tannat Wine Glycosides
AbstractCommercial preparations with glycosidase activities are used to enhance wine aroma, but they are
not extensively characterized. The aim of this work was to study the effect of three enzymes on aroma
improvement in Tannat red wine. After the selection of the most appropriate enzyme for further testing,
its effectiveness on the hydrolysis of the total glycosides present in Tannat wine was measured. The three
preparations showed high β-glucosidase and α-arabinosidase activities (in the range of 10 to 174 U/mL or
U/g), but very low levels of α-rhamnosidase (less than 1 U/mL). The β-glucosidases studied remained active
in the presence of Tannat wine. The selected enzyme, Endozym β-split, supplemented with α-rhamnosidase,
resulted in almost 30% hydrolysis of the glycosides in Tannat wine, when added at a concentration higher
than that recommended by the manufacturers. A sensory evaluation showed that the enzyme-treated wines
were significantly different from the controls, suggesting that at least a part of the hydrolyzed glycosides
in the Tannat wine were aroma precursors. However, it cannot be assumed that all commercial enzymes
would be effective in hydrolyzing aroma precursors just because they show glycosidase activities. Higher
concentrations of Endozym β-split than that recommended by the manufacturer are necessary to reach
an appreciable level of glycoside hydrolysis. Supplementation of Endozym β-split with α-rhamnosidase is
recommended in this enzyme – wine system for the greater release of the aroma from the glycosidicallybound

MORE IDEAS FROM THE ARTICLE
In the financial transactions sphere, we have various modes of payment for goods and services. For example, we have PayPal, Amazon Pay, Apple Pay, cryptocurrency, etc.
Cryptocurrency is a relatively new system that people still try to figure out. There are currently over 2,000 types of cryptocurrency.
Cryptocurrency is a digital payment system that bypass banks to verify transactions, making the financial processes more accessible and faster.
Cryptocurrency involves using virtual tokens or coins by private individuals and companies for operational and transactional purposes and investments.
That’s right. If you thought it would be possible to buy an endless amount of crypto, think again. Cryptocurrency is a limited resource, like gold or oil. This is why currencies like bitcoin continue to increase in value as the supply goes down. Investors know that somewhere down the road, the number of bitcoins and alt currencies available will come to an end.
In the middle of the 2008 banking crisis, a group of anarchists, libertarians, and other tech-savvy true believers created digital cash.
In August 2008, bitcoin dot org was registered as a domain. On Halloween the same year, Satoshi Nakamoto put up a whitepaper describing a decentralised system of electronic transactions that did not involve a financial institution.
Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer online currency, meaning that all transactions happen directly between equal, independent network participants, without the need for any intermediary to permit or facilitate them. Bitcoin was created to allow “online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution.”

Long a beloved old landmark in Asheville, the L.B. Jackson building was Western North Carolina’s tallest edifice when construction was completed in 1924. Situated along Pack Square Park, the tall, lean structure was commissioned by its namesake, a young real estate developer who went on to build more than 400 homes in the area. Jackson is also credited for his construction of the city’s Flatiron Building, and worked alongside E. W. Grove on the elegant Grove Arcade, establishing a building legacy that has spanned five generations so far.
One of a Kind Annie McDonald, a practicing architectural historian and preservation planner based in Asheville since 2012, notes that the Jackson Building, “is an outstanding example of a Gothic Revival-style commercial building.” Although other historic buildings in the city show some elements of the style, none are Gothic Revival through-and-through quite like the Jackson Building. McDonald considers it to be one of the best examples of the architectural style in the region.
Tiny Footprint, Big Impression Designed by Ronald Greene, a leading builder in Asheville’s architectural heyday of the 1910s and 1920s, the Jackson Building stands tall and proud on a tiny parcel of land, its small footprint and slender aesthetics further emphasizing its 15-story height. The steel-framed brick building features elaborate glazed terra-cotta ornament in Gothic Revival style.
New Heights - A 1920s photo shows the historic Jackson Building in downtown Asheville. It was WNC’s first skyscraper, and 2024 marks its 100th year on our cityscape.
A Guiding Light Originally, the building had more spires and a searchlight that cast a beam for 30 miles. Given its height, one of the building’s earliest uses was a clean-air lookout spot. Because many of Asheville’s buildings were coal-heated, the Jackson Building often hosted the city inspector, who would stand at the top in the mornings and watch for excessive furnace smoke, which would then lead to a fine.
Decades of Use Before the building’s construction, Thomas Wolfe’s father operated his monument shop on the lot. Once completed, Jackson declared that it would be used as attorney’s offices, with the exception of a couple floors for Greene as a thank-you. Currently, it’s still used as office space, but the Jackson family no longer owns the building that bears their name. A Georgia firm bought up a large portion of downtown Asheville in 2017, including the historic Jackson Building.
Mistaken Identity At the top of the skyscraper, you might be able to spot some ornately-carved stone creatures—but they’re not gargoyles like many think. They’re actually grotesques, which look similar to gargoyles, but are purely decorative. Gargoyles are old-world waterspouts; they funnel water away from the sides of the building, while grotesques do not. Grotesques are, however, thought to deter unwelcome supernatural forces and protect their building’s occupants.

As Florida lawmakers prepare to cut staffing standards, many warn nursing home residents will suffer
The Florida Legislature is moving toward passing legislation that some say is designed to address the employment crisis in nursing homes.
But not everyone is on board with the proposed changes, and many believe nursing home residents will suffer.
Senate Bill 804 and House Bill 1239 would reduce the required daily hours for certified nursing assistants by 20%. That means that instead of CNAs spending two-and-a-half hours on average per day for each resident, the requirement would become two hours.
While this legislation doesn’t change the number of mandated hours for direct care for residents, nursing homes could count the time spent by physical therapists, respiratory therapists, mental health workers and others.
Deborah Franklin, the Senior Director of Quality Affairs at the Florida Health Care Association, spoke during a Senate Rules Committee hearing Tuesday night.
"This will improve quality," she said, "by allowing that small portion of flexibility from the 2.0 -- to allow that flexibility of bringing in the professional that is needed for the person-centered care according to their care plan."
Essential help with daily activities
CNAs provide essential care for residents under the supervision of a licensed nurse.
Sophia Colley, a CNA for 31 years, works at a long-term care facility Titusville. She says the therapists don't provide those important routine daily tasks.
"They mostly will come in and do their job," she said. "But they will not change a patient. They will not feed a patient. If the patient wants some water, they will be looking for a CNA."
Patients will suffer if CNA hours are cut, Colley said. "Residents are going to have to wait longer to be turned in bed. Residents are going to stay wet longer. They're not going to be fed in a timely manner. So they're going to be hungry longer."
A real staffing crisis
Legislators pushing the change say the bills are a compromise addressing the staffing crisis in nursing homes.
Industry representatives like Steve Bahmer, president and CEO of LeadingAge Florida, say the problem is real.
"My members have said often if there were CNAs out there to hire you better believe we'd be hiring them," Bahmer told the Senate committee. "We just can't find them. And the result is that our members are now taking beds off line because they simply can't staff them. (12)
Colley, the veteran CNA, says you can solve the staffing crisis with better pay and health insurance.
Twenty-one years ago, Florida reformed nursing home standards and set the CNA requirement at nearly three hours a day. In 2007, that requirement was lowered to the current 2.5 hours.
At first, nursing homes with a hundred residents needed 36 full-time CNAs working in a day. The new legislation knocks that down to 25.
Lynn Hearn with the Florida Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program is concerned that lowering the number of required CNA hours will make things worse. Hearn paints a grim picture of nursing home neglect from the thousands of complaints they receive.
She says a woman visiting her parents last week found her dad with sores on his wrist from a restraint. His clothes had not been changed and he was put to bed with his shoes on.
Her mom was half out of her bed with a full diaper and excrement on her socks and bedding. Both had dirty feet and long toenails.
"This is very representative of what we are seeing," Hearn said. "So it's crystal clear to everybody we need more CNAs. So, what we don't need to do is pretend on paper that we need less."
New federal rules could supersede Florida's changes. During the State of the Union address Tuesday night, President Biden said Medicare is going to set higher standards for nursing homes.

City of Fox Lake
Fox Lake is located centrally in the Chain O’ Lakes. Incorporated in 1907, the Village has a long history as a resort and recreation community. Located in the middle of one of the most popular waterways in the Midwest, it has become one of the Chicago area’s favorite places for boating, fishing, hunting and vacationing. The area was first explored during the 1600’s by French settlers, and in the 1800’s it was known as Nippersink. Being a resort community, Fox Lake has hosted a large variety of events through its first 100 years. There have been parades and races for sailboats, powerboats, cardboard boats, swimmers, runners, snowmobiles and horses.
The Chain-O-Lakes are located approximately 40 miles northwest of Chicago, just south of the Illinois/Wisconsin Border in Lake County and McHenry County, Illinois. “The Chain” is a great and fun place to visit and enjoy weekends, regardless of the season!
Also called “The Fox Chain”, this network of lakes consists of nine major lake basins, thereby making it the largest inland recreational water area in all of northeastern Illinois. Most of the lakes are located in Western Lake County and some in McHenry County. They were given the name “Chain of Lakes” as they are connected by a series of channels, which allow travel from lake to lake.
The Northern Section of Chain-O-Lakes is located entirely in Lake County. Lake Catherine and Channel Lake are the northern most and are bordered on the north by the Illinois/Wisconsin State Line. Grass Lake is the southern most (and largest) with direct access to the Fox River and the Chain-O-Lakes State Park. Totaling 2,433 acres with a deep point of 42 feet (Channel Lake), the Northern Section is comprised of
- Bluff Lake
- Channel Lake
- Grass Lake
- Lake Catherine
- Lake Marie
The Southern Section of the Chain-O-Lakes is located in both Lake and McHenry Counties, totaling 3,987 acres with a deep point of 31 feet (Pistakee Lake) and consists of:
- Fox Lake with Nippersink Lake
- Petite Lake
- Pistakee Lake
The Illinois Fox River Chain O’Lakes is the busiest inland recreational waterway per acre in the entire United States. Only an hour’s drive from Chicago, Milwaukee and Rockford, with over 7,100 acres of water, 15 lakes and 45 miles of river. This “Key West of the Midwest” accommodates every water-borne activity including boating, swimming, tubing, waterskiing, hunting and fishing, and appeals to everyone from families and couples, to the more adventurous weekender. Chicagoland’s playground for over 100 years also boasts some of the best restaurants and marinas, two state parks and other entertainment venues and events unique only to the Fox River Chain O’Lakes.
THIS ARTICLE SAYS A LOT ABOUT THE CHAIN OF LAKES BOATING EXPERIENCE
Chuck it all on the Chain Loving the laid-back life in the Key West of the Midwest
Robert McCoppin, Daily Herald Staff Writer
When a restaurant owner on Fox Lake complained about customers coming in with ripped shirts and shorts, boater Andy Schneider of McHenry told him he shouldn’t be surprised. “If you want suits, go to Lake Geneva,” Schneider said. “This ain’t Lake Geneva. This is the Chain.”
That’s the Chain, as in Chain O’ Lakes – a watery playground with a laid-back, Jimmy Buffett party vibe that makes it in some ways the Key West of the Midwest. The Chain’s 450 miles of shore are lined with open-air bars, classy restaurants, marinas and mansions, in a crazy jumble next to dive taverns, boat-through hot dog stands, minnow-eating drinking clubs and summer shacks.
Frolickers on the Chain range from families with kids to couples in love and singles on the prowl. On a sun-drenched afternoon, young men roar across the water in a giant motor boat, while a party girl dances on a deck with a cobalt-blue drink in one hand, a smoke in the other and a floral tattoo peeking out of her bikini. Barflies tell tales about the history of the lakes. Crusty old men getting off boats holler to their biker friends across a gravel parking lot, calling each other “sluts” just to get each other’s attention. Far off in a quiet, shaded channel, a fisherman grumbles about the boaters, while bow hunters silently practice their archery in the nearby woods.
If you like an old-school, no-frills attitude toward fun in the sun, life on the Chain O’ Lakes is a hoot. It’s about as far as you can get from the daily grind in Chicago, while staying comfortably in the suburbs’ own backyard. That’s why 65-year-old Mary Ann Bobek, of Southwest suburban Crest Hill, has been visiting the lakes regularly since she was a child in 1944. The welcoming atmosphere is also why she chose a local bar, Bootlegger’s, as the site for her upcoming wedding, to a gentleman she introduced to the area, who fell in love with both her and the surroundings. “You never find a sour face here,” Bobek said, sitting at the bar with her man, sipping a tropical drink she couldn’t identify. “Nobody brings their work problems here. Everybody’s here to let loose and have fun.”
The Chain forms a Rorschach ink blot of 10 major lakes linked by channels and locks, running from the Wisconsin border to the Fox River in Lake and McHenry counties. Its central crossroads are Rand Road (Route 12) and Grand Avenue (Route 132) in Fox Lake. With 7,100 acres of water, it’s the largest water system in Chicago’s metro area outside of Lake Michigan. Yet with some 28,000 registered boaters annually, traffic jams at canals sometimes resemble the Northwest Toll way at rush hour.
Don’t expect quiet seclusion on the weekends. But if you’re looking for a place on the water that offers boating, skiing, fishing, camping or horseback-riding, the Chain has all kinds of action. With summer weather upon us, regulars offer their tips for letting loose on the Chain O’ Lakes.

John Barbeau has advice for anyone boating on the Chain O’ Lakes. “You need oars,” he said, with the wisdom of experience. His speed boat recently broke down and he had to paddle it in 100 yards or so, until he thought his arms would fall off. After getting his craft repaired, Barbeau was back on the water with a friend, drinking at Famous Freddie’s Roadhouse & BBQ, wearing his gold-framed sunglasses, joking with strangers and doing his best Elvis impersonation. “It’s like another life out here,” he said with a wide smile. “One thing about the water is, everyone is friendly. It doesn’t matter if you own a $400,000 boat or $1,000 one, everyone waves and high-fives.” In fact, Barbeau got his boat for $1,000. It’s not as flashy as some, but he can water-ski on it and cruise most of the Chain in a couple of hours. For those who have their own boats, there are several marinas where they can launch. Fees range from $20 at Ben Watts Marina, where workers boast they can handle even the biggest boats, to the Chain O’ Lakes State Park, where the boat ramp is free and very busy.
For visitors who just want to try boating life, head to Jet Funn on Fox Lake, which rents gleaming new 18-foot long, six-seat power boats for $260 for a half-day, or $420 for the day. The 190- horsepower boats can pull water skiers or tubers. Jet Funn also rents Wave Runners, pontoon boats and other watercraft.
For a big group, like a bachelor or bachelorette party, head to Famous Freddie’s and ride the Love Boat, which offers a two-hour open bar and food for $35 per person.
Outfitters like Barnacle Bob’s on Lake Marie in Antioch and the state park rent out fishing boats, canoes and other water craft. To get away from the power boats, stick to 44-acre Turner Lake in the park, where only trolling motors are allowed, or head for the smaller, more remote lakes.
All boats on the Chain require a user sticker available through the Fox Waterway Agency, the park or marinas.
The Chain offers no end of options for drinking and eating. For a classy outdoor meal, try Joey T’s in McHenry, an Italian steakhouse that offers carpet-lined docks, lush gardens, fountains, a waterfront bar, and a secluded, shaded patio. A gold-and-blue macaw named Guido might fly onto your arm to welcome you and add a little character to the place. For something more informal, try Big Al’s Dog House on the water near Grass Lake Road in Fox Lake, or order a pizza delivered to your boat from Moretti’s Ristorante & Pizzeria in Fox Lake.
If you work up a thirst, Blarney Island on Grass Lake draws hundreds of boaters to drink, eat, dance and hear live bands. Its motto is “Beer, Boats & Babes,” and it holds special events like “Pimps & Ho’s” night and Thursday night boat races. (See our story on Blarney Island Friday in Time out!). For a more exclusive club, head to the Aquarium, on Nippersink Lake, where patrons can join a drinking club by downing minnows with shots. The story goes that the custom got started when a group of fishermen who came in without a catch started eating their bait on a dare.
Or, skip the bars altogether, bring a cooler, and anchor your boat near a sandbar like the one in Petite Lake, where hundreds of boaters gather to wade and mingle in shallow water. Just don’t drink too much and drive. The U.S. Coast Guard and the Lake County Sheriff regularly board boats for inspection and arrest drunk drivers.
Greg Guntharp, 31, of Antioch, grew up in the area, and recalled that the Chain was originally popularized by people who came for the fishing and hunting. Now, Guntharp doesn’t fish the Chain, because the traffic makes it so busy and choppy. “Now it’s turning over to newcomers,” he said. “This used to be a small town but now it’s one big neighborhood north of Chicago. Traffic, taxes, everything’s going through the roof.” Still, fishermen can find a refuge on the Chain on weekdays, particularly in the early morning and late evening, and in the smaller lakes and channels, often farther north. On a secluded channel near Grass Lake, Leonid Formanyuk, an immigrant from Ukraine, reeled in a pan fish and tossed it in the tall grass, where its dying thrashes rustled the leaves as Formanyuk put another worm on the hook. Across the channel, swans floated by with their ducklings. A single boat cruised past. Formanyuk fishes here regularly, saying the water seems cleaner than in the lake and the fish smell better. Despite heavy fishing, bass, bluegill, catfish, crappie, muskies, northern pike, walleye and more can still be found in the Chain’s waters.
Not far from the water, on an archery range in the state park, three young men are using hunting bows to shoot arrows into hay bales. With a rush like a sharp draw of breath, the arrows suddenly appear in their targets, almost faster than the eye can follow. Alvaro Lopez, of Chicago, said he and his friends come to the park in the fall to hunt deer, turkey and pheasant. Registered hunters can shoot rabbit, squirrel, ducks and doves. Fox, coyote, beavers and badgers also roam the region.
In another area of the park, amid rolling, grassy meadows and forested hills, families picnic, hike, bike or horseback ride on trails. Campsites offer toilets, showers, and electricity, plus a group campground for youths. The park even offers three simply furnished cabins for rent, for $45 a night, and for novice campers, a site that includes a tent, cots, grill and picnic table.
Despite protected areas in the state park, the Chain has been changing rapidly. Created by melting glaciers 10,000 years ago, the lakes were once home to Algonquin Indians who hunted and fished on its shores. After white settlers took over, the Chain took off as a resort in 1901 when a railroad stop near Fox Lake brought visitors from Chicago. With lax law enforcement during Prohibition, resorts like the Manning Hotel thrived, until three gangsters were shot dead there during a beer war in 1930. A vestige of that resort past remains in the landmark Mineola Hotel and Restaurant in Fox Lake, which still displays what proprietors say is Al Capone’s hat in the lobby.
Still, much has changed since that early heyday. When John Steitz’s grandfather opened Steitz Restaurant on Bluff Lake in 1938, it was a remote sportsman’s cabin in the woods. Now, Steitz is a complex with its own marina, boat repair and RV park. Next door, condos are close enough to hear the residents talking on their porch. Metra trains still carry commuters from Chicago, but many now live on the Chain and work in the city, coming back every evening to their refuge by the lake.
The changes are both a blessing and a curse to Steitz, who loves to hunt and fish and even does a little trapping. He’s teaching his children his pastimes, and hopes they’ll one day take over the restaurant. Steitz gets riled up when new residents complain about duck- hunting on the lakes in the fall. But he knows all the development is good for business. This winter, for the first time, instead of shutting down much of the week, he’ll maintain his summer hours. “Now we’ll go year-round,” he said. “It’s ’cause of all the new neighbors.”

I am working with scalar values and fixed-length arrays. I need to
deserialize the entire message into a contiguous raw buffer in memory
such that all members of the data structure can be accessed by using
offsets against a pointer to the raw buffer. This is due to the need
for certain devices to have having "DMA access" to the deserialized
message contents in system memory. If I use Protocol Buffers can I
make sure that the entire deserialized message (including arrays of
known size) is in a contiguous buffer in memory?
I am currently using XDR (eXternal Data Representation, i.e. Sun RPC)
as my wire format, which has very good support for fixed-length
arrays ... I always know exactly where my data is in memory, but this
comes at the expense of having to statistically specify the exact size
of each message.I would like to migrate to Protocol Buffers as a wire
format but I working in a somewhat lower level C environment where I
need to know the system memory address of the deserialized data so
that I can issue DMA commands to access it from some device.

One of the best ways to have a healthy sleeping is to plan your exposure to light. When you’re exposed to light your brain stops producing melatonin (the sleep hormone). Which makes you not sleepy anymore.
Darkness tells your brain to feel more melatonin, which makes you feel tired and fall asleep. At night, prepare yourself a schedule to turn off most of the lights and get into bed.
This will help you get/fix your sleep schedule for the new year.

Utne Reader is proud to premiere the song “Mother Maple” by singer-songwriter Chadwick Stokes. The song is the latest single from his new album, The Horse Comanche, which is out Feb. 3 on Ruff Shod Records/Thirty Tigers.
On “Mother Maple,” Stokes employs an old sample machine, a choir, and a really catchy hook, to frame his insightful lyrics on selfless love. Here’s what he had to say about the song, which was produced by Sam Beam and Brian Deck and features the Berklee Reverence Gospel Choir:
“I was walking around with my uncle Tots in the woods in Vermont and he was showing me some old maple trees that had since died but had given life to much of the forest around it. It reminded me of a friend of mine who’s mother had died some years back; she was always giving to everyone else and never paid attention to herself. The mystery instrument is a Sudanese homemade guitar traditionally made with a gourd, but mine is made with a frying pan. Much of the drums are an original drum track played through an old sample machine called Dr. Beat.”


Future Bass | Modestep & Trolley Snatcha – Sing (Yellow Claw & Cesqeaux Remix)
This vocal build! MUAH! A thing of beauty – and the drop is unique in the raw heavy synth hits that compare nicely to the vocal chops and high-end vocal samples. Really liking this remix from the Dutch producers Cesqeaux and Yellow Claw. A variety of artists created remixes for the original, and this one is our favorite. Decide for yourself tho! They all get the party job done.

A restaurant near the Nanaimo Airport has been ordered to shut down for failing to comply with COVID-19 public health orders, but the owner says he’s going to stay open.
According to a Jan. 20 inspection report, Chakalaka Bar and Grill failed to create a written COVID-19 safety plan, post signs about mask-wearing or health checks, and place barriers between tables. The owner was ordered to address the failings, but a follow-up inspection found he did not comply.
“The premises is to remain closed until written approval to re-open has been granted by a health officer,” the inspection report said.
Chakalaka owner Dick Deschamps told Black Press Media he refused to create a COVID-19 safety plan because he believes COVID-19 is ‘no more deadly’ than the common cold. Deschamps did not provide evidence for his claim but said ‘friends’ and ‘scientists’ had come forward and proven the claim scientifically.
Scientific consensus has found that COVID-19 is, in fact, far more severe than the common cold. Johns Hopkins School of Medicine found that globally, 3,021,793 deaths from COVID-19 have been reported, whereas the World Health Organization estimates 290,000 to 650,000 people die of flu-related causes each year. There have been 141 million cases of COVID-19 worldwide compared to an estimated 1 billion cases of flu worldwide annually.
As of Friday, the B.C. Centre for Disease Control was reporting 555 active cases of COVID-19 on Vancouver Island, 4,233 cases total, and 33 confirmed deaths.
Island Health originally visited Chakalaka in September 2020 after receiving a complaint about multiple RVs parked on the property. An inspection of the site revealed adjustments made to the drinking water and sewage disposal systems were found to be in violation of the Drinking Water Protection Act and Public Health Act. Orders were issued mandating the owners take steps to achieve compliance.
“Compliance with the Drinking Water Protection Act is of critical importance to protect the health and safety of all users of the water system. Further, the lack of compliance with the Public Health Act related to the sewage disposal system presents a contamination risk to the area’s drinking water,” Island Health said in a statement.
“Despite significant efforts to work with the property owners to achieve compliance with applicable Acts and Orders, no progress towards compliance has been observed.”
Island Health is seeking a court-order injunction enforcing its orders tied to both the COVID-19 and water and sewer concerns. A hearing of the injunction application is set to occur in Victoria on April 23.
Deschamps added that the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms gives him the ability to ignore public health orders and he will continue serving customers.
“I’m not fighting, I’m just staying open,” he said.

PARIS, France— Reducing the output of a brand — in terms of number of collections per year — is a winning strategy in these product-saturated, visually forgetful times. It is for Acne Studios at least. The Swedish brand decided to merge pre-collection and show collection into a single opus, presented ahead of the season in the couture calendar. Making more with less proved good.
Contrary to previous outings, which sometimes looked like crazy styling exercises and little else, this collection had focus and substance. Creative director Jonny Johansson worked around the idea of the great escape to the country leaving the big city: a choice, he said, that is often made by artists and creatives. Translated into clothing it meant lots of layering, big volumes and a mix of corduroy and moleskins with flowery silks and glittery knits. A bit nostalgic with mud and a sense of travel, with coats and jackets cinched at the waist with ropes. The effect was consistent, if a tad monotonous.
The only thing left to consider is the positioning during couture season. As both an art and a calendar, couture feels dramatically at odds with Acne. Maybe a co-ed show during men's would be even better.

Cook the noodle or pasta. Avoid overcooking. Rinse with cold water and set aside.

This noodle is best served at room temperature or cold. I love it cold, especially in a warm summer day, it's pretty refreshing. If you like it warm, don't rinse the pasta or noodle after cooking and toss with the sauce and need to be served immediately

US Dollar Rally to Benefit from Upbeat Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) Report
US Dollar Talking Points
The recent rally in the US Dollar appears to be undeterred by the Federal Reserve interest rate decision as the DXY index pushes above a critical technical resistance barrier, and fresh data prints coming out of the US economy may keep the Greenback afloat as employment is expected to increase for the third consecutive month.
Fundamental Forecast for US Dollar: Bullish
The US Dollar Index (DXY) trades above the 200-Day SMA (92.56) for the first time since May 2020 as longer-dated US Treasury yields hold above pre-pandemic levels, and the update to the Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) report may spark a bullish reaction in the Greenback as the US economy is projected to add 500K jobs in March.
At the same time, the Unemployment Rate is expected to narrow to 6.1% from 6.2%, and the ongoing improvement in the labor market may encourage the Federal Reserve to further upgrade its economic outlook even as Chairman Jerome Powell endorses a dovish forward guidance in front of US lawmakers.
Vice-Chair Richard Clarida offered a similar tone while speaking at the Institute of International Finance (IIF) Washington Policy Summit as the official emphasized that “employment is still 9.5 million below its pre-pandemic level,” with the permanent voting member on the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) reiterating that “we will continue to increase our holdings of Treasury securities by at least $80 billion per month and our holdings of agency mortgage-backed securities by at least $40 billion per month until substantial further progress has been made toward our maximum-employment and price-stability goals.”
The slew of dovish remarks suggest the Fed is in no rush to scale back its emergency measures as Chicago Fed President Charles Evans, a 2021 voting member on the FOMC, insists that “it might be 2024 before weactually raise ourinterest-rate target” while speaking at a virtual event held by the Women in Housing and Finance organization, but the rise in longer-dated US Treasury yields may keep the Dollar afloat the update to the Summary of Economic Projections (SEP) highlights an improved outlook for the US economy.
With that said, the US Dollar may continue to appreciate ahead of the NFP report as the DXY index pushes above a critical technical resistance barrier, and another uptick in employment may generate a bullish reaction in the Greenback as it puts pressure on the FOMC to scale back the dovish forward guidance for monetary policy.
