Have you experienced a diet purely from homegrown produce and locally sourced grains can drastically better your diabetes condition vs. buying them from grocery stores?
I am not sure about what others have experienced in this regard. It is remarkable that in 18 months eating homegrown and locally outsourced ingredients exhibited a drastic reduction in HbA1c and blood sugar control as confirmed by my laboratory tests along with the rest of the parameters within the limits.
The key factors to the change are:
- The use of homegrown organic fresh produce and locally sourced ingredients (~95%) used in the daily preparation and consumption of meals using plate portion control
- Ayurvedic living and lifestyle
- High-Intensity Walking as the single Exercise along with pranayama
- Peaceful living and interacting within a small community with the like-minded mentality
I will share the details of these personalized practical natural home remedies that you may consider for your diabetes health in the later part of this post. Here are the highlights if you want to go away with it.
What Were the Natural Remedies that Altered my Diabetic Situation to Better?
- Eat Home Grown and Eat Local: Eating homegrown veggies, leafy greens, and fruits daily. Used locally sourced whole grains
- Regular Sleep and Wake-up Cycle: Wake up at 4 AM every morning and sleep by 8 PM
- Water and Herbal Juice Therapy: Routine hydration after waking up, Asana or Pranayam, Drinking green juice made from medicinal plants grown in the backyard
- High-Intensity Walking Exercise and Yoga (Pranayam)
- Breakfast: Whole grain made sattu with nuts, and seeds, and topped with fresh fruits from the backyard, porridge, and cakes made from locally sourced finger millet made into powder
- Lunch: Boiled aged brown rice made at home, veggies, and Fresh Fish from the pond. All the spices and spice mixtures used are made from herbs at home. The oil was machine-pressed using mustard seeds procured from local farmers. Cow ghee was homemade.
- Snacks: homemade poha, rice puffs, veggies chops, roasted lentils, and more
- Dinner: Chapati made from whole wheat flour (prepared from machine grinding the clean, washed, and dry wheat at home), homemade veggies, Lentils cooked with fresh vegetables, Boiled and seasoned whole grains like green Moong, black grams, and other locally available grains
- Medications: Used 2X 500 mg of Metformin every day after breakfast and after lunch. Vitamin-D3
What is diabetes and why should you take diabetes seriously and manage it well every day?
Diabetes is a progressive disease, and if not controlled, it can lead to chronic illness. A consistent higher-than-normal blood sugar in your body results in diabetes type 2. It can be pre-diabetes or truly diabetes, based on the guidance of the health industry. Lifestyle and dietary patterns play a vital role (1) in managing blood sugar in diabetes type 2. With so many types of diets keto, vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, etc. it is hard to decide which one should you go with when you are suffering from Diabetes.
To make it even more confusing, a diet that works for one does not work for another.
Here I share with you the natural home remedies that curbed and reduce blood sugar, and HbA1c, resulting in weight loss.
9 Tips of My Successful Personalized Diet and Lifestyle That Curbed Diabetes- The Home-Grown Produce and Local Source for Ingredients
Before I share my tips let me give you some background.
My life and living were in the same boat as you were before I visited India and was trapped at home during the pandemic. My family has a small farm that grows organic vegetables that they use. The family followed an Ayurvedic lifestyle with some holistic rituals. After living in the USA for four decades, I was part of this with them. Here is daily my daily routine.
#1. Replenish your Brain and Body by Drinking Water- Right After you Wake Up
- Drink Luke warm water as you wake up and before you brush.
- Drink it (rather eat it) sipping slowly and adding saliva from your mouth. It neutralizes the acidity of your system. Replenishes your brain, which needs 75% of water, and the cells and other organs. It was the scientific and Ayurvedic understanding behind this simple ritual.
- Hydrate your body throughout the day. Learn your amount of water intake from the advice of the experts. Find your personal sweet spot in the water amount.
Follow your Ayurvedic-recommended Exercise after your water intake.
#2 Breath In and Exhale- Help Your Body to be Stress-free
- Breathing focuses your mind and center you better
- It fills fresh air with oxygen and purifies your blood in circulation giving away the clumsy state of your mind
- Move your mind with the inhales and exhaled air
There are methods of mind relaxation using breathing techniques on the internet. Take advantage of that.
I was following walking as my daily exercise in the morning
# 3 Move Your Body to Eliminate Sedentary Life- Walk
Do it at least three days or 150 min a week. I enjoy walking and aim for 6000-10,000 steps per day.
Then do what after walking? Treat yourself with Leaf therapy.
#4 The Leaf Therapy at Home- Blend Diabetes Helper Fresh Leaves
What are those leaves? Are you ready?
Here is the variety of fresh green learns we used to juice depending on the availability in our backyard depending on the season running in India)
- Paederia foetida (Skunk Vine, Pasaruni in Oriya)
- Punarnava (Puruni in the Oriya language)
- Bael (Bela in the Oriya language)
- Holy Basil (Tulasi in the Oriya language)
- Curry ( Bhrusugna in the Oriya Language)
- Moringa (Sajana in the Oriya Language)
- Chenopodium album-Bothua (Bothua in the Oriya Language)
- Cinnamon (Dalchini in the Oriya Language)
- Young Mango (amba in the Oriya Language)
- Mint (Podina in the Oriya Language)
- Bitter guard (Kalara in the Oriya Language)
- Fenugreek Leaves (Methi in the Oriya Language)
Pic: Personalized Diabetes Type2 home remedy- Mixed Geen Juice
Typically, holy Basil, Curry, Punarnava, Paederia foetida, and Bael leaves are always available. So we get 5-6 varieties, not more to make our juice.
It is fresh. We add cinnamon powder and ground peppercorn to spice up the juice.
My brother called this mixed green juice “leaf therapy.”
It was a delightful addition to my health routine in rural India. My brother coined the term “Leaf Therapy.”
#5 Community Activities
Working in our garden-watering, making manure, feeding the plants, cleaning the garden. It homes ~100s of herbs, vegetables, greens, flowers, and, more importantly, medicinal plants and shrubs.
We talk, share ideas, discuss local problems about pandemics and recipes, and eat a fruit or two pickings fresh from the garden. You can imagine that it takes a village to grow a garden of this kind.
#6 Don’t Skip the Prized Meal of the Day- Our Breakfast Which is Essential to Diabetic health
A subsequent post will detail the breakfasts.
The list provides the raw ingredients used in our breakfast routinely as per the consensus of all our family members (3-5 people) that I share in another blog.
Whole wheat flour
Mixed whole grain Flour with nuts and seeds
Nuts and Seeds
Our typical lunch plate was parboiled brown rice, a lentil soup (dal), sauteed mixed greens, and curries from vegetables fresh from the backyard. It is different in different seasons. However, there were papaya, plantain, squash, moringa, and yam. Potatoes are always available either from the backyard or from the village market. We preserve pumpkins when they are ripe at home and use them in combination of vegetables. Simply boil and season, or use spices to curry them. Cook by boiling the vegetables and lentils to make Dalma. We have a unique Dalma spice mixture to make it appetizing.
Freshly picked fish from the pond is used at home. We use fish 3-4 times a week.
I just placed some pictures for fun. There are so many. I picked a few.
Homegrown and Local Fruits with the Glycemic Index next to them inside the bracket. These are available in our backyard
Fruits are favorites at home. Besides that, we make chilla (not fried but tastes like Pkoda), Roasted Poha, veg chops sauteed, and some preserved breakfasts depending on what was cooked during breakfast. A separate detailed blog post will be published.
#8 Afternoon Snacks
Raw Orange (40-46)
Ripe Banana (51)
Slightly under-ripe banana (42)
Mango- Ripe (51)
We eat what is available in our backyard. Not everything is available all the time as they are seasonal. The fruits on the higher side of the glycemic index are eaten in moderation, as much as we can control, not too much of them.
#9 Dinner Dinner- We Eat Early Dinner
We make it simple by having one-sh made fresh or carried from the lunch. No one wants to eat the rice again. So we make fresh chapati or pancakes. Dama and sauteed vegetables are common to eat as dinner with chapatis. At times, we make vegetable stuffed Dosa from the fermented dough.
Why Does it make sense to have a personalized plan to treat diabetes?
Each of us as humans is different, as are the treatments for diabetes.
It is based on genetics, the environment we are born and brought up in, our food habits, and different lifestyles (different sets of the microbiome) that set us apart from one another. It makes good sense to have a personalized plan to deal with diabetes. It can be with or without medications. No wonder the experts are advocating for customized treatments for diabetes.
How important is it to know the source of your nutrition as a diabetic?
The short answer is yes, it is essential.
I never knew until my primary care physician asked the reason for my more than-perfect lab test results in her hand. “Where were you for the past year,” she asked. How could you get here? My one-sentence answer was that I was at home in the Indian state of Odisha.
Is there anything else one should consider? Yes, the source counts eating the same food, buying from the grocery store, and consuming homegrown and locally sourced ingredients. The former is worse than the latter, per my experiments.
What was the key to my better diabetes lab results?
The key to this change was using homegrown food with locally procured ingredients, and the Ayurvedic style of living at home captivated due to pandemics. It is worth noting that I was eating similar vegetables, spices, and ingredients in the USA, buying them from the grocery store.
The net change was from fresh homegrown produce, locally sourced grains, homemade spices, and spice mixtures. I knew what I was eating.
The reason can easily be genetic differences, microbiome composition, an unhealthy and incompatible diet, a stressful life with unavoidable situations, lack of body movement or regular exercise, inadequate hydration, and no-optimal vitamin D in your blood.
The general guidelines by the Diabetes Association do not work for everyone. It could be a starting line for some and an ending line for others.
With varieties of diets, keto, vegan, vegetarian, vegan, and pescatarian- Are you not confused about which one may work successfully with you to manage/control your type 2 diabetes? Here, I share the natural home remedies that curb and reduce blood sugar, HbA1c, and weight loss.
What Made this Kind of Intrinsic Difference?
These plants are not treated with hormones, pesticides, or herbicides. The taste of food differs from what is available in the marketplace. It is satisfying to know that you are eating healthily. We know what exactly we are eating.
It took a home village and a community of like-minded people to accomplish what I am now with my diabetes type 2 status.
My HbA1c is 6.2, and my diabetes has reduced from 7 (, which never happened over years of suffering from the disease. If I continue with this, my metformin medication will be taken off from 2 of 500 mg to onetime 500 mg.
I am back in the USA and trying to mimic the living I used to have at home. My lab test is due in a few months. I am happy to write this post if anyone benefits from it.
Caution: Please talk to your expert healthcare provider and/or dietician before you start with another routine.

Meeting student needs through COVID-19 and business leaders call for funding equity
Meeting the Needs of All Students, throughout Pandemic
As Michigan takes steps to protect the health and well-being of students and the general public, we must also address both unique and preexisting inequities faced by students across the state.
Last week, the Education Trust-Midwest identified eight specific steps that Michigan school leaders should explore in order to promote instructional equity and preserve student well-being throughout this period of school closures. This resource has been published in Arabic and Spanish, in addition to English.
Business Leaders Call for Fair School Funding
The excerpt below is from a guest column by Mike Jandernoa (Bridge Street Capital Partners & 42 North Partners), Ric DeVore (PNC Financial Services Group) and Deidre Bounds (Ignight Social media) calling for fair and equitable school funding in Crain’s Business Detroit. Click here for the full article.
A recent report by The Education Trust-Midwest, Michigan’s School Funding: Crisis and Opportunity, shows how low-income, rural and other vulnerable students are being left behind because the public education they are receiving – in part driven by our state’s school funding system – fails to meet their needs. This lack of fairness in funding often keeps students with the greatest need from benefiting from the kinds of educational opportunities that every student deserves.
It’s true that money alone will not fix the state’s educational problems. It’s also true that fair funding based on student need, and insisting that resources are well used to close gaps in opportunity and achievement, are important aspects of the solution. Addressing this challenge will benefit students in low-income regions and rural areas, children with disabilities, and students who speak English as a second language.
This is not a political issue, nor is it regional. It’s an issue that affects students and businesses across the state of Michigan that demands commonsense, bipartisan solutions.
Our current system is leaving too many young people behind and ill-prepared for the jobs of today and tomorrow. When faced with a business problem, we examine the data, look for best practices and lessons learned from others, and emulate them. Why can’t this same logic apply to education funding in our state?
If we are to have a workforce that meets the needs of employers, it’s vital that Michigan moves toward an education finance system that is adequate and fair for all of the state’s students. Our future depends on it.

I don’t eat that much pasta, considering I’m half Italian. I’m a bigger fan of risotto, but I do have my favorite pasta dishes, and one of them is a simple weeknight throw-together of shrimp, feta, and grape or cherry tomatoes (sort of Italian-Greek!). Firm fleshed fish would work well if you don’t have shrimp, especially, I think, chunks of swordfish. Really hard up? Try good quality canned tuna.
If I have some spinach or arugula on hand, I throw that in, too, and fresh basil would not be an unwelcome addition either. I heat some olive oil, and sauté shrimp and garlic, and when that’s barely cooked, add the halved tomatoes. As soon as the shrimp are fully cooked, and the tomatoes are “collapsing” a little, I fold in crumbled feta and the spinach or basil if I have it.
I turn off the heat and cover the dish while I drain my pasta, saving some of the water in a measuring cup. I pour the pasta into the skillet with the shrimp, toss it all, and add about a half cup of the pasta water. A shower of Parmesan would be a nice touch, but I usually forget to add it.
I usually prefer dried pasta over fresh; my favorite is De Cecco, but I’ve found I also like Barilla Plus, too. For me, 100% whole wheat pasta is too heavy for most dishes, except things like pasta with chard and walnuts, i.e. no tomato sauce.
And sometimes I like an egg pasta, but it is usually still the dried kind. If I want fresh or filled pasta, such as ravioli, I head to Lucy’s Ravioli Kitchen, where just about anything I’ve tried is delicious, including breads and prepared foods.

Gyoza - How To Make, How To Eat, And Recommended Restaurants
Written by MATCHA
Gyoza often appears on menus in ramen restaurants in Japan. These Japanese potstickers are excellent with beer, but how do you eat them? If you're feeling stuck, here's an explanation, plus some tips on how to make this delicious dish at home.
A Guide to Gyoza: Japan's Delicious Take on Dumplings
Gyoza, or potstickers or dumplings, are a dish originating in China that is highly popular in Japan. Found at most izakaya (tavern-like drinking hubs), Chinese restaurants, ramen stands, convenience stores, and even food stalls, gyoza are a comfort-food best served hot and fresh for that juicy, flavorful bite everyone craves.
In this article, we introduce the different types of gyoza, how to make them, how to eat them, and restaurants where you can enjoy them.
What Are Gyoza? The Different Types
Gyoza, or dumplings, may originate from China, but much like Ramen, they are now an undeniable, and well-loved, part of Japanese food culture.
While ingredients may vary slightly by preference, classic gyoza are made by wrapping finely chopped vegetables (Chinese cabbage, cabbage, garlic chive, garlic, etc) and ground pork in a thinly stretched wrapper made of flour and water. These bundles are then cooked via various methods, including boiling, grilling, steaming, and frying. Depending on the cooking method, we can identify several types of gyoza:
Yude gyoza (boiled dumplings) or sui gyoza (soup dumplings), which are typically served in broth, perhaps as part of a soup, and often found at Chinese restaurants.
Yaki gyoza (grilled dumplings), which are pan-fried and thus have a crispy bottom, which is often served facing-up. Juicy with a bit of an outer crunch, these are the most popular type of gyoza in Japan and are usually eaten with soy sauce and vinegar dipping sauces.
Mushi gyoza (steamed dumplings) are softer and chewier and are often served straight from the bamboo steamer they are cooked in. Sizes and shapes for this type of gyoza, in particular, may vary.
Age gyoza (fried dumplings) are the deep-fried crunchy wonders found at specialty restaurants. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, these gyoza are delicious but not as common.

Gyoza are considered a variation of the Chinese "jiaozi" dumpling, which you can distinguish by the heavier use of garlic. When it comes to "potstickers", a popular name for a type of Chinese dumpling, many might have trouble telling the two apart. The store-bought and generic version are said to be the same.
Easy To Make at Home! How To Make Gyoza
Photo by Pixta
Most supermarkets sell various kinds of gyoza wrappers, and every family has their own take on what to put in them, how to wrap them, and how best to cook them. For many Japanese, gyoza represents the taste of home-cooked meals, while many younger people like to whip up gyoza to go with curry rice, ramen, or fried chicken.
Would you like to try making gyoza at home? It's easy, fun, and you can definitely get creative with this popular Japanese dish. Let us walk you through a basic yaki gyoza recipe.
Basic Gyoza Ingredients
2 cups chopped cabbage
1/4 cup chopped Asian chives or scallions
1/4 cup chopped carrot (optional)
1 (10 ounce) package wonton wrappers (any store brand will work)
1/2 pound ground pork (or any ground meat)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1~2 clove garlic, chopped
3 cm ginger peeled, grated/finely chopped
chili oil (optional)
As you can see, one of the keys to good gyoza lies in its seasonings.
For cooking gyoza, you'll need a bit of space to use as your work station. We recommend gathering with family or friends at a table for an enjoyable creation process.ss
Wash and cut your vegetables to an appropriate size. Room temperature cabbage is softer, so allow the cabbage to sit out for a while or run it under warm water. Also, when it comes to cutting, remember that this will be placed inside small wanton wrappers, so keep pieces nice and small so you don't wind up with a gyoza is one big piece of cabbage! Chop up your garlic and ginger as well.
There is a bit of a split on whether to cook the ground meat at this stage, before creating the inner mix. If you prefer to cook the meat first, coat a large skillet with the sesame oil, mix the meat with the garlic and ginger, and cook the meat on medium, high heat until an even brown. Or, you can skip this step do all the cooking together once in the wrappers.
Put together your inner mix by combining the cabbage, scallions, garlic, ginger, and carrot, and ground pork. Mix these with the soy sauce and sesame oil, and let sit for a few minutes to marinate.
Make the Gyoza
Prepare some empty plates or platters along with a cup of warm water for this stage.
Get out the wrappers and place approximately 1 tablespoon of the cabbage and pork mixture in the center of each wrapper. Wet your fingers in the cup, dab the edges of the wrapper, and then fold the wrapper in half overfilling. The wet edge should act as a glue. Seal the edges with moistened fingers, pinching in your own wavy look. Line the uncooked gyoza on the platters to be cooked.
In preheated vegetable oil (about 1 tablespoon should be enough), line the gyoza up in a skillet to cook for about 1-2 minutes over medium-high heat. Once the edges are brown, add about a 1/2 cup of water, cover with a lid, and allow the gyoza to cook through half-submerged. This takes about 4 or 5 minutes depending. If the water evaporates, add more. Move the cooked gyoza back to the platters to cool slightly, and repeat this cooking process until all gyoza are done.
Serve these warm, bite-sized delectables with a side of soy sauce and rice vinegar sauce for ultimate enjoyment!
How To Eat Gyoza
No matter if they're homemade or ordered, no matter if you're eating them as a main dish or alongside ramen as a side dish, gyoza are delicious. So let's talk about how to enjoy yaki gyoza!
Photo by Pixta
Gyoza at restaurants are often served on a large plate as per-person servings like ichininmae (1 person) and nininmae (2 people). Since the size of each dumpling and total portion depend on the store, it may help to ask what the standard might be when ordering. Also, keep in mind that prices can vary anywhere from 180 to 700 yen, so be sure to check the menu.

A small dish will come with your large plate of gyoza. This dish is for mixing your sauce. Gyoza is not often heavily seasoned, so this dipping sauce is your way to flavor your gyoza to preference.
On your table, or nearby your counter seat, you will find bottles of vinegar, soy sauce, and raayu (chili oil) (*1). Pour these into the dish provided before you begin eating. The standard ratio for the dipping sauce should be 1:1 of vinegar and soy sauce, but you can adjust to your tastes and even add a few drops of red-colored raayu for some heat.

Now, it's time to dip your freshly grilled gyoza. Take ahold of one morsel up with your chopsticks, and lower it into the sauce. Remember, part of what makes yaki gyoza so delicious is the slightly charred bits, so to not lose out on the wonderful crispy sensation, try to dip only the soft side.
Also, we recommend that you do not cut or separate a single gyoza with your chopsticks before eating. The delicious juices will spill out onto your plate, dampening the experience. Try to eat it in one bite, if you can, or two without lowering it. If it is too hot, let it cool for a minute or two before biting so as not to scorch your tongue!
(*1) Raayu (hili oil) - condiment made by heating spices such as hot chili peppers in vegetable oil.
Gyoza, which are packed with lots of garlic and chives and fried to perfection, have long been considered a satisfying food to enjoy over drinks. They can be happily paired with beer, highballs, or sours. Depending on the person, you may even see some opt for wine!
With such a "late night" reputation, gyoza can be quite the guilty pleasure. Recently, however, restaurants have popped up that serve a "healthier" version of gyoza using lots of vegetables as well as garlic that doesn’t smell after eating. Small, easy-to-eat, and reasonably priced, gyoza are now being enjoyed more and more without any guilt involved.
The Two “Gyoza Towns”
Utsunomiya in Tochigi Prefecture and Hamamatsu in Shizuoka Prefecture are known as the “Gyoza Towns”. Many households in both cities are gyoza lovers, with the average household spending over 4,000 yen annually on gyoza. Several hundred gyoza restaurants compete with each other in these prefectures.
In addition to yaki gyoza, there are a variety of other gyoza, including sui gyoza with a plump wrapper made by boiling them, age gyoza (fried dumplings) with a crispy wrapper made by frying, and so on. If you happen to be near these towns, do try and taste the different delicious gyoza!

If you’re planning a vintage wedding, your decor has to be sweet and subtle. Our favorite blooms to fill antique silver sets, depression glass vases, milk glass vases, and even mason jars? Garden roses, ranunculuses, baby’s breath, hydrangeas. Don’t forget to add mirrors, frames, and lace doilies too. See more centerpieces here.
Emily & Allan
Q & A with the Bride:
1. What was the one thing about your venue that made you know it was the one?
It was so unique and had beautiful vintage decor. It’s in a very old, historical building in downtown Sacramento. The Metropolitan Ballroom, which is where we held the reception, is on the 7th floor, and has an amazing view of the state capital. I always imagined having an outdoor wedding, but I had trouble finding the right venue in the Sacramento area. We actually went to The Citizen randomly on our way to look at another venue, and we just fell in love with it. It really fit our vintage theme, and it was great to be able to have the wedding party and our families all staying in the same place where the event took place.
2. Which three details from your wedding were your favorites?
1. The vintage vignette that served as the guestbook table and featured the escort cards that was outside the entrance of the ballroom. The details were just so amazing, and it was inspired by 1920s-30s era travel and also by the Indiana Jones and Jungle Cruise ride in Disneyland! We love Disneyland, and I love going through the lines in those rides because the details are so fun and old-fashioned. I also loved the escort cards; they were luggage tags with skeleton keys. I stamped guest’s names on the tags with a typewriter font stamp set and then tied on the skeleton keys. My bridesman, Ray, (my best friend, who in was in my wedding party, helped me with them, and it was a lot of work, but I love that it was a personal touch and something that I got to do with my best friend.
2. The cake and dessert table because I really wanted a lot of different cakes and desserts. I loved all of the different cake stands, and the vintage books that were on the table.
3. The floral arrangements were amazing and Bob, my florist, did such an amazing job with my my bouquet and my bridal party’s bouquets. I really loved all of the centerpieces, and he went beyond floral arrangements and created beautiful vintage table tops.
3. Give us the one moment from your wedding that you cannot stop thinking about.
Allan’s daughter, Amalia, and my niece, Paige, who were our flower girls, surprised us with a choreographed dance to Justin Bieber’s “Never Say Never.” It was so amazing, and they had been working on it for a month. We had no idea that they were planning on performing at the wedding! I was so proud of them because they did such a great job memorizing the moves, and they were so brave to perform in front of over 100 people! I was a cheerleader in high school, and loved choreographing dances so it was so neat to see the two of them doing something I love so well! It was just such a fun surprise and everybody loved it!

Never operate a fryer outdoors in the rain or snow. Place the fryer on a level surface, and avoid moving it once it’s in use. … Purchase a fryer with temperature controls, and watch the oil temperature carefully. Cooking oil that is heated beyond its smoke point can catch fire.
Can you deep fry outside?
It’s just as easy as frying indoors.
If you have some kind of cooking element (grill, portable gas burner, portable electric stove), it’s no different than your stovetop. If you have a plug-in deep fryer, even better! Just move the whole operation outside.
Can you deep fry in cold weather?
With it being so cold outside, you need make sure you are somehow blocking wind from hitting the burner so the flame can heat the oil. You’ll need ever BTU to get that temp up and maintain. … Without knowing the temperature, you can’t deep fry a turkey.
What if it rains while frying a turkey?
Because fryers are designed for the outdoors (don’t even think about deep-frying a turkey inside), it’s exposed to the elements—rain or snow falling into the oil can create splatter and excruciatingly hot steam.
Can you fry something wet?
Don’t use a wet batter or coating.
Beer batter on fried fish cooks up to a crispy shell when you fry in oil. But in an air fryer there is nothing to set a wet batter — it will just drip off while the food cooks.
Can you fry chicken outside?
Your outdoor propane deep-fryer isn’t just for the turkey. Deep-frying is also an excellent way to prepare chicken; the process seals in juices while crisping the skin. You can use a deep-fryer if you have a level work area outdoors with enough space away from all combustibles.
How do you deep fry chicken outside?
Heat Oil to 350º F. When you place the chicken into the hot oil, it will drop to 325º F, the perfect temperature for frying chicken. Deep-Fry Method: If you’re frying the chicken in a deep fryer, cook dark meat for 15-17 minutes or until golden brown. Chicken breasts cook faster, about 10-12 minutes.
Can you deep fry on BBQ?
Here’s a breakthrough that doesn’t require buying a bulky standalone deep fryer, a monotasker that wastes a lot of oil and counter-space: Your gas grill is perfect for frying. … You don’t need a side burner because you can right on the grill grates. It solves all the problems of frying.
Can I deep fry a turkey at 300 degrees?
Fill a 30-quart pot with the appropriate amount of oil (see Cook’s Note) and heat to 300 degrees F. Carefully lower the turkey into the oil and bring the oil temperature up to 350 degrees. Fry until the turkey registers 155 degrees at the breast; start checking after 30 minutes.
Can I deep fry a turkey in the garage?
To make the Thanksgiving feast as ideal as possible, it is best to avoid using fryers on decks, in garages, or near trees and detached structures. Before cooking, the turkey should be thawed and dry, since cold water mixing into hot oil can cause a fire. If the weather is rainy or snowy, do not use a fryer outside.
Is deep frying a turkey safe?
The Cosumnes Fire Department warns that cooking with deep fat turkey fryers can be very dangerous as they have a high risk of tipping over, overheating, spilling hot oil, and could lead to fires, burns, or other injuries. If a turkey fryer fire occurs, call 911 immediately.
Is there a safe way to deep fry a turkey?
Stay Away from The House – Set up the turkey fryer more than 10 feet away from your home and keep children and pets away. Never leave it unattended. Find Flat Ground – The oil must be even and steady at all times to ensure safety. Place the fryer on a flat, level surface and carefully gauge the amount of oil needed.
What happens when you fry wet food?
Never put wet food in the fryer.
Excess liquid will cause the oil to splutter which can cause injuries. Particularly wet foods should be patted dry with kitchen paper before frying.
What’s the difference between deep frying and shallow frying?
Shallow frying means cooking food in oil with a depth that reaches about half of the thickness of the food with the food touching the bottom of the pan all throughout. Deep frying means cooking food in oil deep enough to cover it to allow the food to float in the oil.
Is shallow frying healthier than deep frying?
Fried foods have gotten a reputation for being unhealthy, however, since Shallow fried foods are exposed to less oil they are more likely to absorb less oil and thus can be considered the healthier of the two options. … Now when you shallow fry your food it will lose less nutrients as compared to deep frying.


Samsung announces Galaxy S Advance, partners with headphones maker Jays
South Korean conglomerate Samsung announced a new addition today to its Galaxy family lineup, the Galaxy S Advance smartphone. This 3G HSPA 14.4Mbps device packs in Bluetooth 3.0, a 4-inch Super AMOLED display, Android Gingerbread, a 5-megapixel camera on the back with 720p video capture and a 1.3-megapixel camera for videoconferencing on the front.

Your partners won’t always get along, and may even hate one another without ever meeting.
Over the years, you may experience the really not-so great metamours, the ones who stalk you at work and harass you day and night, who assault and bully you. Conspire about what shirt to buy your shared partner, and collaborate on birthday surprises?
You might have metamours who end up (directly or indirectly) hurting you- even in ways that have nothing to do with your partner- and that pain may still be felt long after the relationship you shared is done (been there, done that).
You might have partners who refuse or are resistant to meeting your other partners, their own metamours.
I enjoy not just meeting my partners’ other partners, I also desire to form friendships with them and have an enthusiastically positive relationship with them.
And that kind of friendship can’t be forced, or feel obligated, it’s something I desire to be authentic.
It seems to be a too-common trope, especially amongst people still fresh to polyamory, that if you aren’t sexually attracted to them, then your metamour needs to be enthusiastically tolerated. I’ve been there and tried that- tolerating my metamour- and I noticed that, for me, it affected my relationship with the shared partner.
At a very fundamental level, I believe we are all in relationship to one another. And, the moment you start engaging with someone who has multiple relationships, you are forging your own relationships to those relations. I’ve become what would be termed a “Kitchen Table Polyamorist” (as opposed to the compartmentalised “Kitchen Cupboard” style of polyamory, or Parallel Polyamory where you know about your metamours but don’t talk about them).
And, when metamours find themselves in opposition to one another, it can endanger multiple intimate relationships.
I’ve noticed that, when forging metamour relationships, many people focus on “getting along” first and foremost.
Within the realm of honest non monogamy- and polyamory especially- I think that the significance of the metamour relationship is too often overlooked and underplayed.
It is strangely too easy to ignore the awesomeness of having your partners bond, and to be oblivious to the multitudes of relationships that come hand in hand when you are in multiple relationships with other people in multiple relationships.

A Reno County judge on Monday ordered a former Hutchinson man to serve more than five years in prison in connection with a September attack on his girlfriend during which she was choked, slammed against a wall and dragged to the floor.
The sentence for Cody Curl, 20, actually stemmed from a January attack on another man, for which Curl was placed on probation, but which District Judge Trish Rose ordered revoked and the sentence served.
Curl, who had two alibi witnesses testify on his behalf at the Monday afternoon hearing, appeared stunned by the court’s order.
Curl pleaded guilty in June for the attack five months earlier on another man. Curl was 19 at the time of the Jan. 16 incident, where he and Kimber Lynn Thomas baited Joshua Holmes to an apartment on Woodard Street, where Curl beat him and stole his property, including a phone and wallet.
Curl pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit aggravated robbery in that case, and prosecutors dismissed charges of aggravated robbery and criminal damage to property. Thomas also pleaded guilty to conspiracy and received probation.
Curl’s ex girlfriend, and the mother of their 2-year-old son, Krista Post, testified she was living in an apartment in McPherson with Curl on Sept. 11 when he came home from work at the MKC coop, got drunk at a neighbor’s and then became angry at her and attacked her after he came back to the apartment.
The woman testified Curl grabbed her by the hair and dragged her off a couch, slamming her head on the floor, causing a gash to her forehead. He then grabbed her by the throat and choked her. She was screaming as he attacked her, so at one point her put his hand over her mouth and pinched her nose, cutting off her air as he slammed her head against a wall. The choking left bruises on her throat, and she also had a large knot on the back of her head that police photographed two days later, after her family convinced her to call police.
Post testified she didn’t go to police the morning after the attack because Curl pointed a 12-gauge shotgun at her head and threatened her not to tell anyone. She testified she remains on medications to help with anxiety and migraines she has suffered since the assault.
“I was scared,” Post testified. “If he was able to do what he did that night, he was capable of (carrying out a threat.)”
When police arrived at the apartment, the woman also showed them a large amount of marijuana stored in the freezer she claimed was Curl’s, and Curl testified positive for THC when ordered to take a urinalysis by his probation officer.
Reno County Senior Assistant District Attorney John Settle introduced several pages of photographs McPherson police took of Post’s injuries
Curl’s attorney called two witnesses to testify at the hearing. The first witness, Curl’s neighbor, testified Curl came home at 7:30 or 8 and drank one beer with him and they talked and watched TV in Curl’s apartment until 10 p.m., when he went to bed.
That testimony directly conflicted with the woman’s, who testified Curl came home at 4:30 and began drinking, and then back to the apartment about 10 p.m. after leaving for a time with the other man.
Another man, Zane Winkle, testified he was Curl’s best friend and a co-worker at MKC. He also testified they came home late because it was harvest time, and then sat around talking. He said he only left the room to take a shower, and Curl took one after him. He testified he slept on the couch in the apartment and no attack occurred.
“Maam, I’ve been working nonstop,” Curl told Rose when asked if he wanted to make a statement. “I’ve got my criminal life turned around. I’ve been on bail and reported to my probation officer. I’ve not been doing anything wrong. I’ve been staying out of trouble. I’ve got this behind me now. I ask to be reinstated on probation, or to get a sanction.”
“The burden is on state on a motion to revoke, and as the trier of fact I believe the state has met its burden of preponderance of evidence,” Rose said.
“I didn’t find the the defense witnesses credible, and I don’t believe Miss Post is making this up. She was entirely credible. This act of violence was multiplied by the fact that this child observed his mother being attacked and frankly, nearly possibly killed. It’s just horrific evidence You haven’t changed your life. You still drink, which is what started your lack of good decisions. I order the sentence executed.”
While the attack leading to the revocation occurred in McPherson County, authorities there have not filed charges in the case.

Structure and dynamics studies of the short strong hydrogen bond in the 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid-nicotinic acid molecular complex
No Thumbnail Available
Royal Society of Chemistry
The molecular complex between 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid and nicotinic acid (35DBNA) has been studied by variable temperature single crystal X-ray and neutron diffraction (30 to 300 K) and ab initio molecular dynamics, in order to investigate the dynamics and any proton migration in this system, which exhibits structural similarities with the well-known proton migration material 3,5-dicarboxylic acid. The refined structures clearly indicate a significant degree of proton transfer in the short NHO hydrogen bond, contrary to the previous description of 35DBNA as an organic adduct without proton transfer. This behaviour is consistent with the difference between the pKa values of 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid and the ring nitrogen atom in nicotinic acid. Complementary ab initio MD simulations at 400 K show the key proton hopping across the NHO short hydrogen bond, spending short periods along the trajectory (8% of the simulation time) bonded to the O atom. Similar simulations performed on 3,5-dicarboxylic acid and 3,4-dicarboxylic acid show that the MD calculations correlate well with the experimental observations (or absence) of proton migration, and therefore suggest that they could be used as a predictive tool for investigating this phenomenon in short strong hydrogen bonds. © 2013, Royal Society of Chemistry.

Apple’s new MacBook Professional kills off a lot of the ports you in all probability want
Apple simply launched a shiny, tremendous skinny new MacBook Professional. However for what was birthed, a number of widely-held requirements needed to die.
Right now, Apple eliminated the MagSafe 2 charging port kind, they stripped away the HDMI port, they ripped out the SD card slot, they shuttered the Thunderbolt 2 ports (which you in all probability used like 3 times) they usually most notably killed the usual USB port. All these ports, which energy information switch and charging for most every little thing you doubtless use, have been changed by 4 Thunderbolt three/USB-C ports. Surprisingly the oldsters at Apple noticed it match to provide the headphone jack a keep of execution on the brand new mannequin.
Complaining about Apple sacrificing current shopper wants by way of connection sorts is getting fairly tiring. Most have made a number of sense, typically when the corporate was retiring the proprietary requirements that it was largely the one one pushing. See: Firewire or Thunderbolt 2. Others, like shedding the headphone jack on the brand new iPhone 7 or ditching the outdated USB on the brand new MacBook have created a bit extra of an uproar amongst customers that aren’t psyched about needing a dongle on-hand always to attach their gadget to issues they want.
However even with the loss of life of the headphone jack, Apple was making a broader declaration that it believed most headphone producers would quickly be adopting bluetooth and designing wi-fi headphones. With this MacBook Professional, Apple nonetheless sees folks needing all of those different ports (see slide under), they simply don’t appear to care that buyers might want to purchase a separate accent so as to take action.
What Apple does have on its facet right here is that USB-C/Thunderbolt three are invariably the long run because of their extra compact design and quicker switch speeds. USB-C and Thunderbolt three are completely different connection requirements with the identical bodily port. This is a crucial observe as a result of whereas the MacBook Professional ports are appropriate with each sorts, the common MacBook solely interfaces with USB-C.
This justification by means of superiority would possibly sound a bit unsatisfying to MacBook consumers who needed to hear this very same reasoning when Apple wasted area on the Thunderbolt 2 ports that had been in the end solely adopted by a couple of high-end peripherals, however this time round Apple isn’t the one one main the USB-C/Thunderbolt three revolution so this can doubtless see a special final result.
That doesn’t make it any simpler for customers who’ve a great deal of units—many made by Apple—that can now want a dongle to connect with their “professional” pc.
The argument for many customers defending the one USB-C port on the brand new MacBook was certainly one of frequency. How typically do you really want to plug one thing into your laptop computer in an age of Airdrop and Dropbox? But when that’s the case why even give customers 4 of them on the MacBook Professional? Effectively, theoretically as a result of the Professional is for “power users.”
However for all the Remaining Reduce X and Logic energy customers that can take pleasure in enhancing content material on the highly-touted new Contact Bar, what number of are in the end creating that content material utilizing traditional peripherals that gained’t be updating to USB-C connections anytime quickly?
Ports aren’t simply window dressing to professionals, they’re vital connections that provide you freedom to plug-and-play with new instruments regardless of the place you’re touring. What number of filmmakers are going to attempt to present a mission they’re engaged on a projector and must ask whether or not anybody has a dongle to allow them to join to HDMI? What number of photographers are going to be caught with out entry to a appropriate card reader now that the MacBook Professional has ditched the SD card slot? Individuals gained’t even be capable to bodily join their iPhones to Apple’s flagship laptops with out a $25 new wire.
These might in the end simply be rising pains that can subside because the Thunderbolt three/USB-C customary will get adopted, however going all-in whereas so few units use this customary is basically annoying. The veiled suggestion that the USB Sort-A, HDMI port or SD card can be anyplace close to out of date by the point Apple affords one other MacBook refresh happens in a couple of years is simply laughable.
Apple has all the time been accused of being smug with their selections to desert legacy know-how or embrace new requirements. They’ve grown to distort this criticism right into a declaration of braveness. The distinction is, prior to now occasions Apple has largely simply been integrating rising connection sorts alongside outdated standbys, however thanks largely to the truth that Apple’s merchandise are quickly rising thinner than the port sorts themselves, the corporate is ditching what customers want and altering its philosophy in direction of connection requirements in what actually appears to be essentially unfriendly to customers.

TRURO, N.S. - Medical staff in Nova Scotia are encouraging more than 350 people to have their blood retested after lab equipment malfunctioned last week at a hospital in Truro.
The Colchester Regional Hospital says results from tests run from June 4 to 6 may be inaccurate after one of its two chemistry analyzers broke down.
The hospital tests roughly 140 samples per day using the machines.
But Manoj Vohra, vice-president of medicine at Colchester East Hants Health Authority, says there's no way of knowing precisely how many results are incorrect.
Vohra apologized for the malfunction.
"While the malfunction may have resulted in only a small number of inaccurate results, the fact is we can't be certain about results for this period of time, and we are erring on this side of caution," Vohra said in a statement Tuesday.
"We are sorry that this has happened."
Patients whose results may have been affected are being notified via letters and are encouraged to follow up with their doctors to see if more tests are required.

Seeing your dentist bi-annually is more than just a good idea; it’s necessary to ensure lasting oral health. These twice-yearly appointments ensure that our team can track changes in your smile and catch problems before they become serious. Countryside Smiles is dedicated to working closely with our patients to ensure their smiles remain beautiful for years to come.
The Importance Of Bi-Annual Visits And What To Expect
For the majority of our patients, a twice-yearly visit will be sufficient to keep their oral health in check. Those with more serious oral health concerns or certain health conditions may need to schedule a third or even fourth visit each year. In most cases, each visit is going to be very much like the one before it. A detailed exam is often accompanied by dental imaging using Cone Beam CT Scans, and digital low radiation radiography happens each visit. We also perform a full assessment of your gums, tissues, muscles, and TMJ. This helps us create a custom-tailored treatment plan to address your specific oral health concerns. Some important reasons to schedule a visit to our clinic twice a year include:
- Being checked for concerns that may not be visible to the naked eye
- Catching signs of decay when it can be prevented and before its serious
- Begin treatment of oral health concerns that are identified during the visit
- Prevent the advance of gum disease
- Oral cancer screenings
We mentioned above that certain patients may require more than two dental visits a year. There are numerous reasons that this may be the case. Some reasons our team may need to see you more often include:
- The presence of gum disease
- Family history of serious oral health issues
- An immune system that is compromised increases the risk of tooth decay
- Life events that place the patient at risk of infection or other health concerns
During each visit to our office, you’ll want to bring your most recent insurance information. In addition, you’ll want to provide a list of your latest health concerns and any new medications you may be on since the last visit. Certain medications can create oral health concerns that can be addressed in a way that protects your smile. Our team must know your full medical history, as many health problems can affect the health of the oral cavity.
Don’t Wait To Schedule Your Next Appointment
If it’s been in excess of six months since you’ve seen a dentist, or you’re looking for a new one, schedule one with Countryside Smiles today. We’re working hard to be the dental care home for patients in Murphy, TX. Dr. Gill is able to provide comprehensive dental care for patients of all ages, and it all starts with regular preventative care. Don’t let oral health concerns sneak under the radar, reach out to us and get started with Countryside Smiles today!

Capitalism is sometimes perceived negatively by the general population in West Virginia. This anti-capitalist mentality has no doubt been responsible for some of West Virginia’s current policies. Because popular attitudes play a significant role in shaping the economic policies that legislators pursue, attitudes toward capitalism grounded in reality rather than folklore are crucial to achieving the much-needed reforms this book considers.
After discussions with many individual West Virginians, it became clear that this anticapitalist mentality is mostly rooted in stories from our state’s historical experiences with industry, specifically in coal mining. What role did capitalism play in our past? This chapter examines the evidence. To do this, I draw on the work of noted economic historian, Price V. Fishback from his book, Soft Coal, Hard Choices: The Economic Welfare of Bituminous Coal Miners, 1890-1930. By looking at the historical data uncovered in Fishback’s research it becomes possible to separate the rhetoric from the reality of capitalism’s role in West Virginia’s coal mining history.

The prosecutor in the case of the Caernarfon man accused of attempting to murder his wife has given a graphic account of the attack on his wife as the pair walked their children to school.
Sion ap Mihangel told the jury in the case of Sylvan Parry, 46, that the attack was witnessed by fire-fighter Alun Guest-Rowlands "stamping on Fiona Parry at least seven or eight times".
Mr ap Mihangel said: “He described him as lifting his knee up and throwing all of his weight down on the person on the floor, and he also described the noise as a dull thud, with children screaming as it was taking place.
"He concluded that the male was not going to stop what he was doing. The female was motionless. He shouted at the defendant to stop, stop, but he continued with the assault. Mr Guest-Rowlands ran towards him and shouted again. This time he did stop and walked away down the pathway towards the school.”
Mr ap Mihangel added: “Kevin Tiernan who was also on duty that day heard someone shout ‘he’s going to kill her’ and saw children crying nearby. He also saw the defendant stamping on her head and concluded from his actions that he used ‘all of his might’.
"He saw him connect with her body 10 times as she lay motionless . He shouted at him to ‘get off’ as he was walking towards him, but the defendant just ignored him.
"He saw no signs that he was going to stop what he was doing and concluded that he was trying to kill her.”
“Paramedics were on the scene within minutes. Fiona Parry had a laceration to the back of the head, about 4 inches in length. Her head was extremely swollen as were her ears to such an extent that ‘her earrings were engulfed by the swelling’.
"Blood was coming from the area of her tear ducts. She was screaming and her lips were swollen. Her whole face was swollen. She was bleeding heavily from the wound to her head.
"Her abdomen was examined and it was noted that she had an 11 inch by 4.5 inch bruise on the left hand side of her rib area.”
An air ambulance took Mrs Parry for treatment at Ysbyty Gwynedd before she was later flown to The Royal Stoke University hospital owing to the severe head injuries.
Her head-injuries were “potentially life threatening”, he said and she was put in an induced coma.
Addressing the jury, Mr ap Mihangel said: “The prosecution case is that the defendant attacked Fiona Parry,intending to kill her. The prosecution say that this defendant for whatever reason, lost his temper that day in September last year.
"He repeatedly stamped on a vulnerable area of the body, namely the head, while his wife lay motionless on the floor, offering no resistance whatsoever, and used considerable force in so doing. When others intervened and tried to get him to stop he carried on regardless.
"The prosecution say this is no less than attempted murder, but you ultimately are the judges of the facts of this case."
Parry denies attempted murder.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to apparatuses each for fixing two workpieces together, and particularly to an apparatus for fixing a flexible printed circuit module to a sliding mechanism of a portable electronic device.
2. Description of Related Art
Portable electronic devices, such as mobile phones or personal digital handsets, often have a sliding mechanism equipped with a base body and a cover body. Thus, the sliding mechanism enables the base body and the cover body to slide with respect to each other. To achieve an electrical connection between the base body and cover body, a flexible printed circuit module is typically fixed to the sliding mechanism.
The fixing of the flexible printed circuit module to the sliding mechanism is typically done manually, which is time-consuming and subject to human error.
Therefore, a heretofore-unaddressed need exists in the art to address the aforementioned deficiencies and inadequacies.
Many aspects of the present apparatus for fixing a flexible printed circuit module to a sliding mechanism of a portable electronic device can be better understood with reference to the following drawings. These drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the apparatus for fixing a flexible printed circuit module with a sliding mechanism of a portable electronic device. Moreover, in the drawings like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers are used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or like elements of an embodiment.
The fixable member 11 is generally a rectangular board and includes a first surface 111 and an opposite second surface (not labeled). The first surface 111 and the second surface are respectively recessed and protruded, and thus, not only define an accommodating space 113 exposed to the slidable member 13, but also form a protruding stage 114 of the fixable member 11 corresponding to the accommodating space 113. The protruding stage 114 has a resisting flange 115 extending therefrom along the slidable member 13. Each side of the fixable member 11 defines a sliding groove 116. The two sliding grooves 116 facilitate the sliding of slidable member 13 relative to the fixable member 11.
The slidable member 13 is generally a rectangular board and configured (i.e., structured/arranged) to have two sliding rails 132 for corresponding to the two sliding grooves 116. Thus, engagement of the sliding rails 132 in the sliding grooves 116 enables the slidable member 13 to slide relative to the fixable member 11. The slidable member 13 further has a cutout 135, four positioning holes 137, and two aligning holes 138 defined therethrough. The cutout 135 is generally rectangular and located at the approximate middle edge portion of the slidable member 13. The four positioning holes 137 are respectively disposed at four corners of the slidable member 13 and adjacent to the two sliding rails 132. The two aligning holes 138 are respectively defined in proximity to the interior side of the cutout 135.
Referring further to
The FPC body 22, referring back to
The adhering body 224 further connects to the second connecting portions 23 and defines two third positioning holes 2247 and an adhering end portion 2248. The two third positioning holes 2247 allow the adhering body 224 to be securely positioned to the protruding stage 114 of the fixable member 11. The attaching portion 2221, the positioning portion 2225, and the adhering end portion 2248 respectively have one adhering layer (not shown) formed thereon. The adhering layer can be one of a glue layer, an adhesive coating, and so on.
The base 41 includes a working platform 411, a bottom wall 412 located in parallel to the platform 411, four supporting columns 413, an assembling stage 414, an accommodating chamber 417 for accommodating the detaching board 42 therein, and a mounting space 419 for mounting the pressing device 43 therein. The working platform 411 has a protruding block 4113 protruded therefrom, a generally rectangular accommodating cavity 4114 defined therein, and a positioning block 4115 formed thereon. The accommodating cavity 4114 is disposed between the protruding block 4113 and the positioning block 4115. By measuring from the upper surface of the working platform 411, the positioning block 4115 is relatively lower than the protruding block 4113. The positioning block 4115 has two positioning posts 4116 formed on the upper surface thereof.
The four supporting columns 413 are formed on four corners of the working platform 411. The assembling stage 414 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity 4114. The assembling stage 414 functions to assemble the sliding mechanism 10 with the FPC module 20. The assembling stage 414 includes a base stage 4141, four first positioning columns 4143, a first mother connector 4144, two second positioning columns 4145, four third positioning columns 4146, two fourth positioning columns 4147, and two resisting blocks 4148.
Referring further to
Each of the four third positioning columns 4146 correspond to one respective positioning hole 137 of the slidable member 13 and configured for positioning the slidable member 13 thereto. The four third positioning columns 4146 are formed at four corners of the base stage 4141. The two fourth positioning columns 4147 are formed on base stage 4141, both of which correspond to the two aligning holes 138 of the slidable member 13 and configured for aligning then holding the slidable member 13 and the FPC body 22 of the FPC module 20 thereto.
The two resisting blocks 4148 each is generally L-shaped and formed on the working platform 411. The two resisting blocks 4148 are located opposite to each other and respectively extend from the upper surface of the working platform 411, where two resisting slots 4149 are enclosed by the two resisting blocks 4148 and the lower surface of the accommodating cavity 4114. The two resisting slots 4149 are configured for accommodating the fixable member 11 of the sliding mechanism 10 therein so that the fixable member 11 can be resisted from offsetting from the accommodating cavity 4114.
The accommodating chamber 417, which is configured for accommodating the detaching board 42 therein, is defined in the protruding block 4113 and the working platform 411. The accommodating chamber 417 communicates with the accommodating cavity 4114 via an opening 4172 that is defined in the protruding block 4113. The interior wall of the accommodating chamber 417 has a second mother connector 4175 (as shown in

Referring again to
The pressing stage 44 can be mounted in the receiving slot 4195 of the mounting space 419 and includes a pressing end 442 and an engaging end 445. The engaging end 445 is located opposite to the pressing end 442 and has two inclined walls (not labeled) formed thereof. The two inclined walls are arranged symmetrically with each other. The two elastic members 46 are advantageously coil springs and can be mounted in the mounting space 419.
The two resisting members 45 can be respectively mounted in the receiving cavities 4191 of the mounting space 419 and includes a body portion 452, a limiting portion 453, a resisting portion 454, and an engaging portion 455. The body portion 452 is generally a rectangular block with a cylindrical limiting portion 453 protruding from one end thereof and a ledged resisting portion 454 extended from the other end thereof. The engaging portion 455 is formed on the sidewall of the body portion 452. The engaging portion 455 includes a plurality of ledged walls 456 formed thereto. The plurality of ledged walls 456 are advantageously two ledged walls arranged in parallel to each other.
The two urging blocks 47 each includes a carrying portion 471 and a linking portion 472. The carrying portion 471 is generally L-shaped and includes a first end portion 4711 and a second end portion 4712. The first end portion 4711 and the second end portion 4712 are formed perpendicularly to each other. The first end portion 4711 has an inclined recess 4713 defined in the edge thereof. The inclined recess 4713 is dimensioned in such a manner that the pressing stage 44 can engage in and slide with respect to the inclined recess 4713. The linking portion 472 is perpendicularly disposed on one surface of the second end portion 4712. The linking portion 472 corresponds to the engaging portion 455 and thus has a ledged end 4723 formed therewith for engaging with the plurality of ledged walls 456.
The base block 49 is generally rectangular and defines a generally rectangular mounting recess 490 therein. The mounting recess 490 is enclosed by a first sidewall 491, a second sidewall 492, a third sidewall 493, and a bottom wall 495, and configured for mounting the two urging blocks 47 therein. The first sidewall 491 and the third sidewall 493 respectively have two fixing holes 496 defined therethrough. The fixing holes 496 facilitate the fixing of the base block 49 and the base 41.
During assembly of the apparatus 40, referring back to
Next, the pressing device 43 is mounted in the mounting space 419 of the base 41. In doing that, the linking portion 472 of each urging block 47 is aligned and then inserted into one corresponding receiving recess 4193 of the mounting space 419. The linking portion 472 of each urging block 47 engages through the receiving recess 4193 and the corresponding receiving cavity 4191, and ultimately expose from the receiving cavity 4191. The two urging blocks 47 are assembled with the base 41 with the inclined recesses 4713 thereof facing each other. The carrying portion 471 of each urging block 47 is accommodated and firmly attached within the mounting recess 490 of the base block 49 by screwing the base block 49 to the base 41.
Then, the pressing stage 44 is mounted in the receiving slot 4195 of the mounting space 419. During this stage, the engaging end 445 of the pressing stage 44 is placed toward the upper surface of the working platform 411 and then aligned and inserted into the receiving slot 4195. The two inclined walls of the engaging end 445 respectively engage with the two inclined recesses 4713 of the two urging blocks 47.
When done, the two resisting members 45 and the two elastic members 46 are respectively mounted in the receiving cavities 4191 of the mounting space 419. At such time, the limiting portion 453 of each resisting member 45 is aligned towards the protruding block 4113 of the base 41. The engaging portion 455 of each resisting member 45 engages with the ledged end 4723 of each linking portion 472 of the respective urging block 47 via a sliding position. Each of the two elastic members 46 is mounted and elastically biased between the resisting portion 454 of the resisting member 45 and the interior wall of the mounting space 419. Each elastic member 46 has one end thereof resisting against the resisting portion 454 and the other end thereof resisting against the interior wall of the mounting space 419. Thus, the assembly of the apparatus 40 is completed.
Using the apparatus 40 to fix the FPC module 20 to the sliding mechanism 10 includes a plurality of steps as follows.
Referring also to
Referring also to
As the fixable member 11 is further urged toward the two resisting members 45, the elastic members 46 are respectively biased and the engaging portion 455 of each resisting member 45 simultaneously slidably engages with the ledged end 4723 of each linking portion 472 of the respective urging block 47. During this stage, the two urging blocks 47 move horizontally towards the positioning block 4115 and the distance between the two inclined recesses 4713 of the two urging blocks 47 is decreased. Correspondingly, the engaging end 445 moves vertically towards the resisting flange 115 by engaging the two inclined walls and the two inclined recesses 4713. Because the fixable member 11 is resisted from offsetting from the accommodating cavity 4114, the FPC body 22 is urged by the pressing stage 44 to adhere to the resisting flange 115 via the adhering layer of the adhering body 224.
During the testing process of the FPC module 20, the second connector 232 of the connecting portions 23 of the FPC module 20 can extend into the accommodating chamber 417 and connect to the second mother connector 4175. As such, the FPC module 20 can be tested via electrically connecting the apparatus 40 to a testing apparatus. If the FPC module 20 passes the test, the second connector 232 can be detached from the second mother connector 4175 by downwardly pressing the detaching board 42.
Advantages of the present embodiment embody but are not limited to the following. The efficiency of fixing is highly increased by implementing the apparatus 40, which is achieved by using the base stage 4141 and the pressing device 43 to position and assemble the sliding mechanism 10 and the FPC module 20 in a fast manner. The whole performance is also enhanced by largely avoiding errors during the adhering process of the FPC module 20 adhering to the sliding mechanism 10. Moreover, tests for the FPC module 20 can be done by electrically connecting the apparatus 40 to the testing apparatus.
It is to be understood, however, that even through numerous characteristics and advantages of the present invention have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the invention, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in detail, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the invention to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.

Sales software vendor Seismic is expanding its New Zealand presence, signing-up two specialist consultancies, Fresh Perspective Sales (FPS) and Jumping Fox Interactive. as its first local partners.
San Diego-based Seismic is a sales and marketing enablement software platform powered by automation, artificial intelligence (AI) and data analytics.
It is targeting industries including banking and financial services (BFSI), hi-tech, manufacturing, utilities and healthcare, where organisations are facing heightened pressure to overhaul their sales, marketing, and customer service functions.
“Teaming with FPS and Jumping Fox adds multiple decades of trusted, on-the-ground expertise to Seismic’s comprehensive enablement platform, ensuring joint customers can drive productivity and increase return on investment, all the while fostering ongoing professional development for their frontline teams.” said Seismic's vice-president Asia-Pacific, Heather Cook.
Seismic sees opportunity to support the increasing number of NZ companies which have completed customer relationship management (CRM) transformations.
These have now established a "single customer view", and Seismic can add a digital enablement layer to optimise customer interactions.
Andrew Seerden, director at FPS, said it was more critical than ever to have a detailed understanding into customer engagement behaviours, and to turn that data into actionable insights.
"It's about using those insights to inform sellers’ and marketers’ next best action and tailor conversations to each customer," he said.
"Together with Seismic, FPS is now able to help B2B customers shorten their sales cycles, automatically provide customised insights at the right time, and ultimately drive faster and more profitable sales alongside revenue predictability.”
Nick Fox, Founder and CEO at Jumping Fox, said the sales role has been remarkably immune to the disruption that digitisation has wrought.
"That's now changed, and revenue leaders now recognise just how critical it is to transform sales teams to better align with the broader business and to the demands of 21st century buyers," he said.
A foundational aspect of doing this well was enabling the new role effectively.
"We've been watching the sales enablement space carefully for a while, and partnered with Seismic for its experience at doing this across even the most complex organisations," he said.
"We also have a shared vision for reforming the sales role as it needs to be in today’s environment, to create better alignment with customer requirements, as well as business stakeholders.”
Seismic said it was seeking additional consulting, referral, implementation and value-added reseller (VAR) partnerships with companies that provide services around its platform, including those that specialise in buyer journey mapping, sales strategy, sales redesign, go-to-market strategy, optimisation, and content.
NZ is Seismic’s second expansion in Asia-Pacific region, having launched into Australia in August 2017.

Is Yawning Contagious?
$19.95 Buy and instantly download this paper now
In this paper, the writer offers a dictionary definition of a yawn and relates that according to Medline Plus, normal yawning is induced when the brain or the lungs are not receiving enough oxygen. The writer then looks at the position of Dr. Jerry Yee who contends that yawning cannot be contagious since yawning is psychological. The writer considers David Gray's hypothesis on why yawning appears to be contagious and then refers to Dr. Robert Provine on what yawning is and why it is contagious. The writer is personally inclined to side with Dr. Robert and David Gray in that yawning is most certainly contagious and responsive to suggestion.
From the Paper:"It is 7 o'clock at night and I have just sat down to write this paper which will explain why yawning is contagious. Normally I am wide awake at this time of the night, with still a good five to six hours left before I head off to sleep for the night. But as I sit here contemplating the topic of this paper, and reading the title, over and over again, I find myself unable to do anything but yawn. In fact, in the process of writing the three prior sentences I yawned eight times, and yet another time just now! I have not had an overly strenuous day, I have eaten well, and I had a full nights rest last night, so really I have no logical reason to be tired, and in fact, other than the yawning, I do not particularly feel tired (oh - there's another yawn - a big one!). Everyone has had the frustrating and annoying experience (yawn) of 'catching' someone else's yawn. Somehow by simply witnessing another person yawn we feel compelled, and in fact are helpless to prevent ourselves from yawning."
