|Himalyan Crystal Salt vs Sea and Rock Salt|
|Himalayan Crystal Salt: The Benefits of the Earth’s Purest Salt
One of the basic ingredients needed when we cook our food is salt. And did you know that there are different kinds of salt? Most of us use rock salt in cooking not knowing that this decreases our life span. The salt that we regularly used nowadays is mainly composed of sodium chloride. These two elements are not that beneficial compared to the elements that a natural salt has. Most people are not well informed about this particular kind of salt that has all the natural elements, which is similar to the elements that our body has. This all-natural salt is called Himalayan Crystal Salt. The salt originates from primal ocean and has been dried under the Sun when pollution does not exist. So it is considered a non-toxic salt as well.
Salt has equal importance with water. So if we are required to drink at least eight glasses of water a day, we have a daily requirement of salt in a day so that hydroelectric energy can be generated from our body. It will also help our digestive and nervous system, muscles and brain to function properly. But the salt that we need is not the regular table salt.
Rock salt usually comes from the ocean that is now polluted because it is used as to dump garbage and any harmful toxins. This causes the natural elements of a salt be disconnected from its crystalline form. With this, the body needs to exert a lot of energy so that the vital elements and minerals can be absorbed. So there is a big risk that the elements is a rock salt can be useless because our body can experience difficulty in metabolizing them. Also, rock salt only contains sodium chloride. This will be unhealthy for your body since it may cause fluid imbalance, which can lead to gall bladder and kidney stones, rheumatism, arthritis and others. Furthermore, taking rock salt can be a poison in your body. This may happen if your salt intake becomes greater than salt disposal.
Although rock salt is considered to be a cheap and good alternative than table salt, it still doesn't come close with Himalayan Crystal Salt. Crystal Salt from Himalayas can easily be absorbed and metabolized by our body. The reason behind this is that crystal salt has enough compression, thus, its structure is perfect for our body. This perfect structure was formed due to exposure to enormous force without any impurity.
Himalayan Crystal Salt is the cleanest, top quality, most beneficial salt. It contains all the 84 natural elements that our body needs. Thus, Himalayan Crystal Salt offers many benefits in
• Ensuring that water content is properly regulated throughout the body. The salt aids in maintaining balance of water inside and outside the cells. So dehydration will not be your problem anymore.
• Maintaining balanced cell acidity. It takes out the excess acidity from our body.
• Playing a vital role in diabetes treatment since it can aid in maintaining blood sugar levels.
• Having a smoother and beautiful skin which can decrease aging rate, help in cellulite removal and double chin reduction.
• Having healthier bones that can help prevent osteoporosis.
• Generating hydroelectric cell energy in the body clearing congestion and catarrh in sinuses and phlegm from the lungs
• Guaranteeing that food particles are properly absorbed in the intestinal tract.
• Preventing the production of excessive saliva
• Muscle cramps prevention
• Correcting sleeping disorders because of its hypnotic effect
• Minimizing the varicose and spider veins productions which can be visible on the thighs and legs
• Regulating blood pressure and stabilizing heart rate
• Being a natural drug for allergy treatment
And because Himalayan Crystal Salt contains all the minerals and elements that our body needs, taking supplements is no longer a necessity. There are different ways in which you can incorporate Himalayan Crystal salt into your daily food intake. You can make it as a replacement to table salt when cooking your favorite recipe. You can also mix it with water and make it as a soup. Try to experiment on the different ways of adding Himalayan Crystal salt into your daily food consumption so that you can live longer, stay healthy and look younger!

Google’s annual developer Meet, d Google The I / O 2022 event recently ended. At this year’s event, the tech giant demonstrated multiple advances in new AI technology and security. Google’s Tone transfer Tool, one of these advances that was released in 2020 and reached the stage during the pre-show of the Google I / O 2022 event. This tool was created by Google Magenta The team and it allows users to turn ordinary instrumental sounds or even random sounds into something different.
What is Google Tone Transfer?
The Tone Transfer Tool was developed by Google’s Magenta team and was introduced by Google in 2020. This tool allows artists and creators to input different words and get something different For example, users can feed the instrument with sounds such as – people singing, birds chirping, or playing instruments and can convert them into the sound of musical instruments like flute or violin.
How does it work?
The Tone Transfer Tool project relies on a machine learning process called Differential digital signal processing Or DDSP. While testing the tool, the team introduced a violin with a 10-minute recording to process the model and run it through its system. Subsequently, the team began monitoring the progress of the program and its ability to recreate sound. The developers noticed that after an hour of training, the model was able to recreate the sound like a playing synth. Moreover, after 10 hours of training, the instrument was able to replicate the sound of a violin almost individually. The model can control the various audio signatures provided by the instrument to help it successfully reproduce the sound. This project shows how far machine learning has progressed as AI has acquired the ability to develop and reproduce musical instruments on its own.
How to create sound in tone transfer?
Google’s Magenta team has made Tone Transfer available for the public to try out Users can either choose a sample suggested by the program or even upload their tracks. Next, users have to choose the sound of the device in which the track will be morphed. Available result options are flute, saxophone, trumpet and violin.
First, users need to choose a source word and click the play icon below the word signature to get an idea of what it sounds like. After that, they need to choose an output sound and click play again to hear the sound created and converted to a new device.
Users will need to select the “Add Your Own” option under the Source Sample section if they want to upload their word samples. Users can either record a sound or upload a file from their PC if their device is compatible. Click the Done button after recording or uploading, this will allow you to listen to recorded or uploaded tracks (s). The Tone Transform tool will start processing the sample when you are happy with it and click the Transform button.
However, make sure you choose a track that plays only one tone at a time This will help the model to distinguish between different tones and create a better result. The tool also offers a slider icon that can be used to tune the final result. Users can adjust the mix, octave and height at their discretion.

Unhoused people have a fundamental right to live in encampments, and that right is violated when authorities tear them down, Canada’s housing advocate says.
In a piercing report released Tuesday, Marie-Josée Houle says the expansion of homeless encampments across the country is a national human rights crisis that requires immediate action and coordination involving all levels of government.
The report calls on governments to take responsibility for deep systemic failures that violate the right to housing, which Canada officially recognized in 2019. And it says they need to ensure homeless people have permanent housing as soon as possible.
“Encampments represent an effort by people who are unhoused to claim their human rights and meet their most basic needs,” says Houle’s report. “Canada has the capacity to solve this crisis. What is lacking is sufficient political will, resources and coordination.”
In an interview ahead of the report’s release, she called for an immediate end to forced evictions of homeless encampments, offering a blunt message to cities, including Halifax and Edmonton, that are trying to dismantle them: “These are human rights violations. This approach will only endanger lives.”
Houle was appointed to monitor Canada’s progress upholding housing as a human right. Her report, called “Upholding dignity and human rights,” caps off a review that began in February 2023, and involved meetings with advocates, Indigenous leaders and people living in encampments across the country.
Since then, the issue has only become more urgent, she said.
In Halifax last week, the municipality issued eviction notices to people living in five of its 11 designated encampments, telling people they had to leave by Feb. 26. Last month in Edmonton, police tore down a camp deemed by the city to be “high risk,” and arrested three people, including a journalist.
Unhoused people in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick have also died in camps, some from overdoses and tent fires. There are safety risks in tent cities, Houle said, but dismantling them pushes people further into the margins, where they’re more vulnerable.
In the absence of affordable, accessible housing, encampments can also provide community, security and consistency — qualities unhoused people often say are lacking in emergency shelters and other temporary housing options, Houle said.
Nobody living in camps should be forced to use shelters or other options that don’t meet their needs, she said. “A lot of people experiencing homelessness have very bad trauma related to social services, related to institutions, related to people in uniform.”
“If there is going to be building trust for people to use resources, then forcing people and criminalizing them is never going to make that work.”
Houle’s report calls on the federal government to establish a national encampments response plan by Aug. 31 that would fulfil the report’s calls to action.
Cities should provide encampments with electricity, bathrooms, clean water, heat and other basic amenities, the review said.
Provinces and territories must offer health care, including harm reduction and mental-health services, as well as access to a safe supply of drugs for those who use them, it said. They must also increase welfare or income support, as well as minimum wages, and adopt legislation recognizing housing as a human right.
The federal government should work with the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation to make federal funding for cities and provinces tied to a commitment to upholding the human right to housing, according to Houle’s report.
Above all, Houle said, governments should inform their decisions about unhoused people after speaking with them and finding out what they need.
“It is a question of life and death for a lot of people,” she said.

Physical Therapists earn the highest median pay at around $44.14 per hour, followed by MDS Coordinators (about $33.08), Physical Therapist Assistants ($28.34), and Certified Occupational Therapy Assistants ($28.15). Financial compensation for Certified Nurse Assistants is rather low — on average only approximately $11.49 — relative to the rest of the company.
Years of Experience
Five to nine years of work experience seem to result in median wages of $16.39 per hour. Overall, the greater share of Sava Senior Care folks have one to four years of experience and earn an average around $19.97 per hour.
When it comes to location, the highest average paycheck ($24.01 per hour) can be spotted in Ashland, Wisc.; Spruce Pine, N.C. ($23.73), Hickory, N.C. (about $21.50), and Fort Collins, Colo. (approximately $20.64) are the next top-paying cities. San Antonio, Texas ranks low on the pay scale — at $18.35, it is one of the lowest-paid cities. Within the firm, employees working in Michigan take home the most — about $23.96 per hour on average.
Certifications and Degrees
Registered Nurses earn approximately $28.77 per hour, far more than their non-accredited counterparts. Employees who have a Bachelor of Science in Bachelor of Science (BS / BSc) make the most here, hauling in $42.17 per hour.
The highest-paying skill to have may be Geriatrics; employees who claim proficiency also report a higher average salary of $21.86 per hour. Long Term Care is a popular skill in the Sava Senior Care workforce; close to one-half of those surveyed report putting it to use in their jobs. Key skills also include Elder Care, Rehabilitation, and Acute Care.
Women make up the majority of employees who completed the questionnaire for a female-to-male ratio of more than 3 to 1.
Benefits and Perks
Paid time off is hard to come by at Sava Senior Care; the company rewards only 28 percent with paid vacation time and only 22 percent with sick leave. For employees looking to save up for their golden years, Sava Senior Care provides an optional 401(k) plan, and half participate. Health insurance comes as part of the deal for the larger part of respondents, and one-half report receiving dental coverage as well. A few more workplace perks are life insurance, tuition reimbursement, flexible hours, and 401(a).

With their longest win streak since 2005, the Miami Hurricanes have won their fifth game in a row with Thursday’s defeat of the Virginia Tech Hokies, 16-14. Miami rode the victory into first place in the Atlantic Coast Conference’s Coastal Division.
Thursday’s game was like the Dolphin Stadium School of Defense for both teams. Both sides were great defensively. Offensively? Not so much. The reason: The defenses were very talented and too quick for arguably predictable offenses.
Miami’s defense shut Virginia Tech down in the second half by making impressive plays, especially in the third quarter, when the Hokies failed to pass their own 20. Quite the feat for a team as young as the Hurricanes.
Miami is making a tremendous turnaround this season, which is why I believe they are on the brink of being a dominant force in college football in the upcoming years. Even if the Hurricanes fail to reach the ACC game in Tampa on Dec. 6, they still have made great strides in this season so far—just compare them to last season’s 5-7 (2-6 ACC) record.
I suppose we have no choice but to wait until Saturday’s North Carolina-Maryland game to decide who is (and isn’t) at the top of the Coastal Division.
By no means am I declaring that the Hurricane Empire is back after one win (or five—for that matter), but if Miami can keep this streak up, the future is very bright in sunny Miami.

A pastry cloth provides a handy and durable way to roll out dough for piecrusts, cookies, or pizza. Such cloths have been used for at least a century, and to many chefs, they’re essential in the kitchen and much easier to use than marble or wooden boards. They are undoubtedly simpler to use than plastic wrap or wax or parchment paper, and since a chef can reuse the cloth many times, they’re an eco-friendly kitchen tool.
Most pastry cloths have a canvas front and a non-stick back, often some type of oilcloth. This makes them similar to durable oilcloths for covering tables. The principal benefit of this backing is that the cloth won’t slide around as the cook rolls out dough, which is a definite improvement over using a few sheets of plastic wrap, which do tend to slide.
This material is available in a wide variety of sizes. Chefs who like to roll out large sheets of puff pastry or big pizzas should err toward choosing one in a size a little larger than they think they will need. It can be frustrating for a cook to run out of cloth if he hasn’t achieved the thinness or size he needs the dough to be. The price of these cloths can also vary, usually depending their size.
Pastry cloth can be used in the same way as a board or plastic wrap. After placing the cloth on an even surface, the chef should add a little flour so the dough doesn’t stick to the cloth. He can then add the dough, with perhaps a little flour on top, and roll out. Those who are rolling out circular dough may find it convenient to turn the cloth instead of the rolling pin to create near perfect circles.
After use, and depending upon the ingredients in the pastry or dough, the cloth can simply be dusted off and folded up for the next use. Most times, the chef should probably give the cloth a washing before its next use, especially if the dough contained a lot of butter or raw eggs. Most are hand washable, with a little bit of dish soap, and they should be hung up to dry before being stored for the next use. Cooks can get years of use out of a gently treated pastry cloth.
Another advantage of the pastry cloth is that a chef can cut dough directly on it, while it provides some protection to the surface underneath it. It’s an easy space for cutting out cookies, making scones, or creating ravioli with a pastry crimper. The chef should cut lightly, since the canvas side can become damaged with knife cuts. Most dough cutting tools won’t mar the canvas, however.
Arguably, one of the best benefits of the cloth is that it can be folded into a small size. It’s a great tool for people with crowded kitchens, especially when they don’t have room to store big wooden or marble boards. It can be kept in a dishcloth drawer or placed in a cabinet in between uses. It doesn’t take up much space and will prove adaptable for a variety of kitchen applications.

The Glock auto sear works by releasing a binary explosive that locks in the chamber when the slide is held back. The trigger then follows the bolt forward and releases when the hammer comes out.
Modifications to semi-automatic guns are not without debate. They are essentially the very same guns that were banned in 1989.
In the previous couple of years, there have actually been a number of high-profile assaults including automated weapons. These consist of the shooting in Sacramento, which eliminated six individuals, and the attack in Washington, DC that killed 4 people. A police officer in Houston was eliminated by an unlawfully converted weapon. CNN found lots of other cases of prohibited conversion devices.
The Uzi design and the AK47 design are two examples of weapons that have gone through adjustments to meet sporting purposes. Both of these firearms are semiautomatic weapons based on the styles of military attack rifles. Modifications to these weapons are legal in some jurisdictions, but may be illegal in others.
Adjustments to semi-automatic weapons have been banned in some nations for different factors. For instance, the ban of semi-automatic rifles has actually affected the competitive shooting sports, and the ban has actually impacted the economy. The ban also limits making use of attack rifles for sporting functions, such as searching.
It was the very first vote on this problem in numerous years and has been not likely to pass. Still, the expense has generated a heated dispute and reflects the varying positions of the candidates on weapon rights. The restriction would use to about 200 types of semi-automatic rifles, semi-automatic pistols, and other comparable high-powered weapons.
The Glock auto sear has a distinct safety mechanism that keeps the weapon from unintentionally firing. It utilizes a proprietary substance called Tannerite, a titanium-like alloy. It likewise has a selector switch that limits the type of ammunition that can be utilized with the gun. This security mechanism is meant to make the gun easier to utilize and more secure to handle.
The shooting pin is positioned in a ramped lobe, which contacts the rearmost horizontal area of the trigger bar. It is then forced external by a spring-loaded sear.
The Glock vehicle sear consists of a cross-shaped protrusion at the back. The safety system prevents unexpected discharges and guarantees the weapon is safe to use. Will Glock Mags Fit A Tarus Pt111.
To eliminate the Glock auto sear, you require to eliminate the slide lock. To do this, hold both sides of the frame with your hands. A strong hand will help you separate the slide lock. The recoil spring will move the slide forward, permitting the locking block to clear the locking block in the frame. There are numerous methods to separate the slide from the frame, however the Glock Armorer ‘s Manual advises that you use a strong hand strategy.
When you load a Glock auto sear, the weapon will not fire unless the safety mechanism is engaged. This security prevents the weapon from accidentally launching the very first round. In contrast, other semiautomatic handguns have an external security device, which can be set with a flick of the thumb.
The Glock automobile sear features two receivers 20 and 21. They are engaged by the slide 13 of the Glock vehicle sear.
A Glock pistol is a semiautomatic pistol with a car sear attached. This gadget converts the gun into a mini gatling gun that can fire 20 rounds per second. Made of plastic or metal, vehicle sears can do incredible damage. These weapons are often utilized in criminal activities. A current VICE News examination discovered several gun-related occurrences involving car sears, including murders, burglaries, and even extremist attacks.
The ATF has launched an investigation into using automobile sears. The ATF has actually identified a number of guns customized with vehicle sears, including a number of Chinese-made guns that can fire completely automatic. Some of the customized weapons have been sold for numerous dollars each.
A Glock automobile sear is an incredibly hazardous adjustment to a handgun. In one case, an ATF agent seized a modified Glock that fired 30 bullets in less than 2 seconds.
Transforming a semi-automatic pistol into a totally automatic weapon is prohibited, and it puts the safety of the public at threat. A conversion device, called a car sear, is a small square gadget about the size of a thumbnail that can convert a semi-automatic weapon into a totally automated weapon. It has a publication capability of approximately 34 rounds. Sanders acquired the gun in Indiana for less than $25.
Given that 1986, it is illegal for civilians to purchase fully automatic weapons and offer them without a federal license or registration. A small number of totally automated guns are still for sale in the pastime market, and can offer for tens of thousands of dollars.
ATF representatives recently took more than two-thousand bundles of conversion gadgets. These devices transform semi-automatic Glock handguns into completely automated weapons. Federal law considers these conversion devices gatling gun, and they were not made by Glock.
The expense would break down on illegal gun adjustment devices and stop their proliferation. It would also require the Attorney General to consist of data on unlawfully customized guns in its yearly firearms trafficking report.
A semi-automatic pistol has a high rate of fire, but the rapid fire in the videos of the shooting in Las Vegas might have been a totally automatic weapon. The ATF ‘s National Firearms Act prohibits using fully automated weapons in civilians, but this restriction has huge loopholes.

Converting a semi-automatic weapon to a totally automatic weapon is not a simple task. You need to register the weapon with the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, and pay a special tax. If you don ‘t comply, you could deal with extreme charges.
Transforming a semi-automatic gun to a completely automated weapon needs a license. The federal weapon registry forbids the belongings of a totally automatic gun unless the owner has a license. In the meantime, the vehicle sear is a growing pattern in the black market and has led to numerous criminal offenses and homicides.
The Glock car sear has an unique security mechanism that keeps the weapon from unintentionally firing. When you pack a Glock automobile sear, the weapon will not fire unless the safety system is engaged. A conversion device, known as a car sear, is a small square device about the size of a thumbnail that can transform a semi-automatic weapon into a fully automatic weapon. Converting a semi-automatic gun to a completely automatic weapon requires a license. The federal weapon computer system registry prohibits the possession of a totally automated gun unless the owner has a license. Will Glock Mags Fit A Tarus Pt111.

text: Julian Lage, the 21-year-old Bostonian guitarist discovered when he was just 12 by the vibraphone legend Gary Burton, can dazzle a close-up audience. On this album, though, he favours an acoustic sound and a surprisingly European, chamber-jazzy delicacy, often in dialogue with the saxist Ben Roseth, a subtle player with something of the atmosphere of Andy Sheppard. The banjo star Bela Fleck also guests, as does the pianist Taylor Eigsti. A downside of the music is a sometimes becalmed over-refinement, but Lage regularly dispels it in his own solos. His agility, glowing tone and originality of phrasing come together in a gracefully dazzling solo on All Purpose Beginning, and his combination with Fleck's banjo unleashes a captivating uptempo chatter on The Informant. On the pulsating L'il Darlin', Lage creatively underplays a jazzy break that others would have played twice as fast and loud. Some tunes sound like Cool School bebop with folksy textures; only an account of the classic All Blues rephrased with familiar guitar-blues licks sounds obvious. Julian Lage is a big talent blossoming.


ANAHEIM, Calif. — Before anyone could pepper Texas Tech head coach Chris Beard and his players with questions on Friday afternoon, Beard talked about respect. Respect for Gonzaga's program. Respect for its consistency. Respect for its excellence.
Beard's third-seeded Red Raiders (29-6, 14-4 Big 12) will face the top-seeded Bulldogs (33-3, 16-0 West Coast Conference) at 3:09 p.m. on Saturday with a Final Four berth on the line. At that point, respect won't likely be the word used to describe Beard's mentality.
GU boasts the nation's top-ranked offense (according to KenPom); Texas Tech counters with the best defense. Saturday's Elite Eight matchup appears to be a war of attrition.
"Two things: One, the talent, you know, [it has] several NBA players, obviously. They're really good," Beard said of what makes GU's offense tough to stop. "For us, that's what it's like every night in the Big 12. You're playing against NBA players, not a lot of one-dimensional guys either, guys that can do different things. And two: great coaching.
"There's a lot of really good coaches around the country that are also watching the games on TV, but when you combine the two like Gonzaga does, a Big 12-caliber coach and great players, NBA talent, then you're one of the last teams standing."
The Red Raiders are led by 2018-19 Big 12 Player of the Year Jarrett Culver. Now a sophomore, Culver started 20 games for last season's Elite Eight squad, averaging 11.2 points and 4.8 rebounds. This year, after Texas Tech lost four starters, Culver emerged as the team's go-to guy while averaging 18.9 points, 6.4 rebounds and 3.8 assists on 48.4 percent shooting.
"He's a weapon. When he crosses halfcourt, understanding he can handle it, shoot it, make plays for others," Zach Norvell Jr. said. "The biggest thing is to try to change it up, different defensive schemes, try to challenge him, challenge his shots and make things tough for him."
Guards Davide Moretti (11.6 points per game, 46.2 percent from 3) and Matt Mooney (10.9 points, 38.5 percent) supplement Culver's all-around presence with double-digit scoring.
But Texas Tech's 31st-ranked offense is second on a twofold totem pole of worries for GU, particularly considering the Zags' defensive growth since mid-December. Rather, it's that top-ranked defense, which held Michigan to 44 points on 32.7 percent shooting (1 of 19 from 3-point range) and forced 14 turnovers in Thursday's 63-44 win, that threatens to contain the Bulldogs' top-ranked offense.
"This is not going to be a high-scoring game tomorrow," GU head coach Mark Few said. "Texas Tech's [defense] is just tough as nails, don't make a mistake, don't miss an assignment, gap oriented, with all their help built in and a real conviction to guard you as a team, and it's tough. They don't give you any easy shots and like I said earlier, they're very handsy and they attempt to take a lot of charges, too."
Culver is a rangy, 6-foot-6 wing capable of defending multiple positions. Mooney is the quintessential ancillary floor general, grinding out possessions defensively. Norense Odiase and springy, 6-foot-10 big man Tariq Owens roam the paint, averaging a combined 3.4 blocks per game.
"Just gotta take care of the ball, get shots on your terms and not fall in the trap areas they want you to," Josh Perkins said. "Hopefully, we do that tomorrow."
Perkins said Thursday's grimy, slow-it-down battle with Florida State gives GU confidence it can lean on its defense to win games and "out-ugly" Texas Tech. Even if the Red Raiders make the Zags uncomfortable offensively, they believe their defense has the potential to power them to the Final Four.
"It's going to be a really tough game. We knew when the bracket popped up two weeks ago Sunday, that this was just going to be one of those brackets where you're going to have to fight like crazy," Few said. "It's not going to be pretty, but we've got to enjoy the fight and embrace it ... I think the guys are ready and excited."

The Halftrack APC is a fast armored vehicle that can carry infantry with great speed; its equipped with a machine gun to defend itself against infantry units.
This speedy truck serves double-duty: It can carry up to 12 soldiers, and wields a machine gun that can take out infantry and light armor.
- Pros: Cheap and rapidly produced, the Halftrack's speed and high rate of machine-gun fire makes it a good choice for patrol duty or to eliminate lightly armored mobile artillery units like the Katyusha or Wurfrahmen.
- Cons: Its speed comes at a price: just a couple of hits from even the lightest enemy tanks will cost you the vehicle.
- Bottom Line: Excellent for rushing to trouble spots, especially if the threat is infantry or AA vehicles - but watch out if it faces anything firing explosive shells.

A buttery sticky bun in a cookie! Nothing could be better. This is my gluten-free adaptation to a favorite recipe.
1/2 c. Unsalted butter, softened
1/4 c. Granulated sugar
1/4 c. Dark corn syrup
1 Egg Yolk
1/4 t. Vanilla extract - I use Spice Islands
1 1/2 c. T.G.I.G.F! Baking Mix
1/4 c. Powdered sugar
2 T. Unsalted butter
1 1/2 T. Dark corn syrup
1/4 c. Lightly toasted chopped pecans
1 Egg white, lightly beaten
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large mixing bowl beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolk and vanilla, blend well on medium speed. Slowly mix in T.G.I.G.F! until a dough forms. Shape the dough into a ball, cover and place in the refrigerator and chill for at least one hour. In a small saucepan on low bring the butter, powdered sugar and corn syrup to a boil, remove from heat, stir in the pecans. Refrigerate for 15 minutes. Remove dough from fridge and shape into balls, place on cookie sheet. Bake for 5 minutes in preheated oven. Remove from oven. Using the back of a spoon gently press to create a well in the center of each cookie, do not go all the way through. Brush with egg whites and place a small amount of filling into each well. Return to preheated oven and bake an additional 5-7 minutes until lightly browned around the edges.


Report to Congress argues intel agencies should share more data
The dozens of counter-terrorism and intelligence agencies in the U.S. must have better access to each other's data to avoid disaster, according to a 100-page annual report to Congress by an agency called the Information Sharing Environment.
No big surprise there. But the report also notes how intelligence outfits should be more willing to share information outside their world as well.
"Most of the work of building the ISE (Information Sharing Environment) to date has been aimed at expanding information sharing across all areas of government in the U.S. and, to a lesser extent, with private sector organizations and foreign partners. As the ISE continues to evolve, however, we recognize that to support the administration's commitment to openness and transparency, we must extend those efforts to include the American public as well."
The report discusses the Fort Hood shooting and bombing attempts in Times Square and on a flight to Detroit.
On the airplane attempt, the report concludes that information must be given to counter-terrorism analysts in a form that allows them to "distinguish between the signals and the noise, better correlate and integrate fragmentary data, and synthesize the results in an actionable way, i.e. to connect the dots."

Lanett gets back on track, runs over B.B. Comer
Published 12:10 am Saturday, September 5, 2020
After losing to Valley in its last game, the No. 5 Panthers got back to playing Lanett football, in a 38-0 drumming of regional opponent B.B. Comer on Friday.
“Our offense moved the ball fluently,” Lanett head coach Clifford Story said. “Our defense played really well. We corrected a lot of things this week that we didn’t do last week.”
One of the areas that Story said the Panthers needed to figure out was the quarterback spot. The Panthers rotated in three different players in the first two games of the season before deciding on M.J. Atkinson.

The junior quarterback threw for 205 yards and a trio of touchdowns while completing 50% of his passes in the win.
“He was much better tonight. He was a little bit more poised,” Story said about the junior signal-caller. “He’s getting better. I’ve already told him that I’m going to hang my hat on him. It’s up to him to take the reins and be able to move us forward.”
Kadarius Zackery, who mixes in at receiver and quarterback, carried the ball six times for 45 yards and a touchdown. His touchdown came when he was lined up in the wildcat formation.
On the ground, Donnavin Shealey led the Panthers with 75 yards on eight carries. Junior D’Quez Madden added 50 yards on eight carries.
The Panthers held their senior night on Friday, and the senior Panthers made sure they would have a game to remember.
Senior Seidrion Langston led the team in receiving yards with 70 yards and a touchdown. He also added four tackles on defense. Fellow senior Larontavius “Tae-Tae” Hurston finished with three catches, 30 yards and a touchdown in only a quarter of play.
Kelvin Zachery led the team on defense, finishing with nine tackles and two forced fumbles. He also blocked a punt.
The Panthers defense has been its calling card all year, and that didn’t change on Friday, as Lanett was able to harass the Hornet quarterback and running backs for most of the game.
“That’s what we hang out hat on is defense,” Story said. “I’ve already said that we’re going to have to win some games this year on defense, and the guys have embraced it. They understand that defense is going to take us home.”
The biggest change from week two to Friday night was on special teams, as the Panthers didn’t struggle with snaps on punts against B.B. Comer.
“We had good snaps and good punts,” Story said.
One area the Panthers need to improve before next Friday is the number of penalties they allow. Story said his team had close to 15 penalties throughout the game.
“Those are things we have to clean up, but we’re young in a lot of areas, and they’re still learning the game,” Story said. “It’s to the point that we have to teach every phase of the game and every single detail of the game. In the past, we haven’t had to do that. We’ll get that part fixed and cleaned up.”
The Panthers (2-1, 1-0) host Fayetteville on Sept. 11 in their second regional game of the year.

Think of portrayals of LGBT characters in media, and images of Glee and Grey's Anatomy come to mind.
Another type of portrayal - LGBT comic book superheroes - is featured in this week's New York Times in the story Out of the Closet and Up, Up and Away. Read all about, and see an interactive feature on gay and lesbian superheroes. The story includes a rather comprehensive overview of gay and lesbian characters and themes in comics throughout the years, as well as information about Prism Comics, the organization for and about LGBT comics, creators and readers. (Note their name, which sounds surprisingly similar to another LGBT organization on our campus!)
Even Archie Comics, who have brought us the characters of Archie, Jughead, and Veronica since the 1940's is introducing it's first out gay character, Kevin. In an announcement about this new development, the company's CEO said simply "The introduction of Kevin is just about keeping the world of Archie Comics current and inclusive. Archie's hometown of Riverdale has always been a safe world for everyone. It just makes sense to have an openly gay character in Archie comic books."
For those of you who want to get your inner superhero on, Ithacon, a comic convention, is downtown this Saturday. It's sponsored by the Comic Book Club of Ithaca - the oldest active comic book fan club in the United States. The group has held comic book conventions since 1975. The event will feature guest writers, artists, editors, and more.

According to a PEW Research study, “the number of people who received a U.S. green card declined sharply in fiscal 2020 amid the pandemic”.
The current administration is aiming to diminish initiatives that place limits on immigration. In order to accomplish this aim, current efforts include raising the refugee admission cap, pausing deportations and halting the “public charge” rule which limited legal immigration.

“The Girl in the Gatehouse” by Julie Klassen
“Banished from the only home she’s ever known, Mariah Aubrey hides herself away in an abandoned gatehouse on a distant relative’s estate. There she supports herself and her loyal servant the only way she knows how–by writing novels in secret.
When Captain Matthew Bryant leases the estate, he is intrigued by the beautiful girl in the gatehouse. But there are many things he doesn’t know about this beguiling outcast. Will he risk his plans–and his heart–for a woman shadowed by scandal? “
“The girl in the gatehouse” is a very interesting inspirational ‘stand alone’ romance that takes place in Britain in the early 1800’s. The father of Mariah, the main character in the story, has removed her from her family and has sent her, along with Mariah’s former nanny Dixon, to live in the Court where her aunt lives. Mariah and Dixon must live in the gatehouse, an abandoned place that also becomes a home to other characters in the story. At the beginning of the book we get the impression that Mariah must have done something terrible to have been basically disowned by her father, but throughout the story the author gives the reader little hints as to what was all involved, and in this way keeps the reader’s intense interest. Mariah learns of God’s mercy and forgiveness through the various experiences and people she meets at the gatehouse. She can then be free from the shame that has held her in bondage and that has made her try to keep parts of her life a secret from others. She also finds the love of her life but must wait until he sees his love for her as well.
I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to others who love romance stories. It is full of action and surprises, so one can read it fairly fast. Some people may have a little difficulty in understanding the meaning of the many British words that are used, but the context is very beneficial in that regard. Someone who is a “Jane Austen” fan or has read her books will probably really appreciate the quotes, illusions and similarities that Julie Klassen has used in this novel. Even though I’m not acquainted with Ms. Austen’s writings, the little sayings if hers that are at the beginning of each chapter, as well as sayings from other sources, add that extra little dimension that contributes to the overall story. I would highly recommend this novel to others and I look forward to reading other novels that Ms. Klassen has written.

It’s a holiday gathering. Friends and family get together to celebrate the magic of the season with food, gifts, games, and memories in the making. Then someone gets out a camera and starts snapping away. But invariably, someone says, “Oh no, not me, I look terrible!” and either ducks out or offers to take the pictures. Or, someone sees the final product and declares they look fat. “Can’t we just delete that one?”
I have to wonder: When we avoid the camera or over-criticize our appearance, what kind of message do we send to our kids?
In 2012, one mom blogger asked that question and also challenged moms everywhere to get in the picture. Ladies, and even you men, I’d like to extend that same challenge to you this holiday season.
By getting in the picture, you do two amazing things for your kids. First, you show them that you think you’re valuable, a part of the memories being made, and not just the historian taking it all down. Personally, at this phase of my role as parent, I feel like it is critically important to demonstrate to my daughter how she should think of herself. And I would never want her to think that she didn’t look good enough to be remembered.
Second, while it’s hard to imagine, or even painful to think about, these pictures of you will have incredible meaning for your family in the future. I remember several years before my mom passed having a bit of an argument with her about this whole deferring the photo-op thing. I said, “When you are gone, we are not going to look back and say you look fat in the pictures. We’ll just be glad we have them!” She really made an effort after that, but in truth, my daughter was 4 years old when we lost my mom, and I have about six pictures of the two of them.
While this kind of makes me sad, it is also my inspiration for hanging up my hang-ups and being in the moment with my daughter. This holiday, I will most definitely be in the picture, and I hope you will, too. Share your holiday fun via Instagram by hashtagging with #Fit4Families and look for your pictures here on our blog. Happy Holidays!

The English Premier League giants Chelsea have started internal negotiations with his agents and they are confident in bringing him to Stamford Bridge this summer.
According to various reports, The Blues have reportedly offered him a 132,000 euros weekly wages to convince him in signing for the club.
The Spanish defender Marc Cucurella was instrumental for his team this season as they finished 9th position on the EPL standings.

Tiffy and Leon share a flat
Tiffy and Leon share a bed
Tiffy and Leon have never met…
Tiffy Moore needs a cheap flat, and fast. Leon Twomey works nights and needs cash. Their friends think they’re crazy, but it’s the perfect solution: Leon occupies the one-bed flat while Tiffy’s at work in the day, and she has the run of the place the rest of the time.
But with obsessive ex-boyfriends, demanding clients at work, wrongly imprisoned brothers and, of course, the fact that they still haven’t met yet, they’re about to discover that if you want the perfect home you need to throw the rulebook out the window…
This was a delightful contemporary romance that made for an enjoyable audiobook!
Tiffy has broken up with her on-again, off-again boyfriend for (hopefully) the last time, but she needs a place to live, and she needs it to be cheap. Leon is looking for someone to share his flat (and his bed) so he can make a little extra money to help his brother in jail. He is a nurse that works nights and spends his weekends with his girlfriend, so he never even has to see this person. By the time he gets home from work, she’ll be out the door to hers.
But when you’re sharing a space with a stranger, you’re still going to need to communicate with each other. Tiffy and Leon do this by leaving each other post-it notes that cover everything from “who is the weird neighbor upstairs?” to “I left you some dinner in the fridge”. Through these notes they start to get to know each other, despite their best efforts.
I really liked both Tiffy and Leon. They felt like real characters, with blind spots and flaws. Their discourse back and forth was cute and fun to read. They get themselves into some scrapes, but they grow through it. There were some colorful supporting characters. Leon and Tiffy narrate their own chapters, and O’Leary does a great job of giving each of them their own voice. Leon’s is very stream of consciousness, which worked great on audio but maybe less-so in print (I ended up needing to finish the last few chapters in e-book form).
I haven’t read Beth O’Leary before, but I will definitely be adding other books she’s written to my list.
I read this for the following reading challenge:
- 52 Book Club 2021 Challenge — an epistolary
- “This is stereotypic British fiction, in which we have these over-exaggerated characters, extremely cringey dialogue, and ‘jokes’ in every single line of the book. My very first note in this book says, ‘British humour galore’ because that is what slaps you in the face when you first open this book.” — daisy chains & headspace
- “In The Flatshare, O’Leary skilfully balances humour with tact and gravitas, while depicting the impact fear and anxiety can have on the best of us. It acknowledges bad things happening to good people and reminds us of the value and poignancy in the little things… even companionable silence.” — Booklover Book Reviews
- “What I loved about this book was that is was raw and had some hard-hitting issues and whilst they were dealt with using a lot of compassion, there were also lots of hilarious moments to keep you smiling too. I adored the notes the two left for one another and I would happily have read a book just filled with their back and forth post-its.” — Whispering Stories

dehydrator and I've not personally tried it, but I can't imagine it would be difficult.

Enjoy the day, eat as healthy as you can and you'll be happier the next day...but enjoy whatever it is you decide to eat...JOY and gratitude are most important tomorrow!! There is no room for guilt. Besides, it won't change anything. Decide ahead of time what you plan to eat and then let it go. I give thanks to my friends and loved ones, near and far and send love to all of the amazing people in my life that are no longer with us. I know they will be with us in spirit. Blessings!!!!

Who remembers New York style Egg Cream? My mom prepared these for us when we were younger using seltzer, chocolate syrup, vanilla extract, and milk. I think the original recipe was made with egg, but ours never had egg in them. This was just a quick and yummy beverage Mom whipped up! Well, I'm so excited because I created a HEALTHY ALTERNATIVE that is so very reminiscent of this childhood elixir!!! When I took my first sip there was an instant recognition...and flashback. I gave a sip to W and asked, "What does this remind you of?" Not being from NY, he sensed it was familiar, but did not grow up with it. If you lived on the East Coast in the 60's...when the soda man actually delivered the seltzer bottles to your home, then you know what an Egg Cream is...

This was gone gone gone before I could get a good photo. Tempering raw chocolate is possible, but challenging. I'm not a greatchocolatier as I don't have the patience or the equipment, however, I try to attempt manually tempering whenever possible. For a quick..."I don't care about fussing" treat...simple - DO NOT temper. Throw this tastiness together, and store in the refrigerator or freezer. WARNING: It will melt in your hands..so EAT it quickly, or break into smaller, bite-sized pieces. This will cure any junk food craving for sweets! There are several optional ingredients. I hope you use this blog for educational purposes, so even if you don't choose to use all of the suggested ingredients, you may at least become aware they exist.

Living Tree Community sent me a lovely sample pack of their vibrant living butters. Yesteday, although it's really easy, I wasn't in the mood to cut open a coconut, and opted to create a spectacular blend of these delicious ingredients without having to make a nut milk or coconut milk base. I have to say, everything from this store vibrates with LOVE...and this smoothie, was indeed SPECTACULAR. Turmeric Butter, Mesquite, Maca and extracts are always optional, but take some time to read about them. The added flavors are great, but they are also super nutritious! I suggest you try some of these products...but if you don't have them available, improvise with almond butter, or any combination of nut butters that seem to go well together. This is one of my quick and easy smoothies..sort of a "cheater" smoothie..making nut milk using butters and water..no straining, no mess.

Ok! Bad picture! It was evening, and it was metling. I had very little lighting, but wanted to capture it. You'll have to trust me..It was GREAT! Some time back, I did a post on how to prepare ice cream using a juicer and blank plate. It's been awhile since I pulled out the old Champion...but I'm sooooo glad I did. Last night I literally threw together some Blueberry Banana Coconut Ice Cream. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

Cadillac recently beat Elon Musk’s famous Tesla brand in a semi-autonomous vehicle technology competition. Thanks to a new Consumer Reports study, we’re proud to say that Cadillac has one of the top autonomous vehicle technology systems on the market.
According to USA Today, the Cadillac Super Cruise system can steer, brake, and accelerate on limited roadways with minimal input from the driver. Not only are Cadillac technologies extensive, but they’re also fine-tuned to keep drivers comfortable and safe. In fact, they are so high-tech, Cadillac beat out Tesla’s Autopilot system in a string of recent tests.
“The best systems balance capability with safeguards — making driving easier and
less stressful in the right situations. Without proper safeguards, over-reliance on the system is too easy, which puts drivers at risk,” said Jake Fisher, director of auto testing at Consumer Reports.
So why did Cadillac Super Cruise stand out? Well, unlike Tesla technologies, Cadillac uses a driver-facing camera to make sure that you’re engaged behind the wheel, monitoring safety. It also turns off the system if it notices that you’re distracted (largely based on eye movements), which is notably quicker and more effective than the Tesla system that uses hand engagement to test if drivers are paying attention.
Celebrate the brand’s achievement by visiting Bradshaw Cadillac and taking a shiny new 2019 model for a test drive.


After vowing six months ago to reach a consensus on a plan to protect the Houston Ship Channel's oil refineries and chemical plants from a direct-hit hurricane, the region's scientists said Wednesday they aren't there yet — and won't be until next year at the earliest.
Researchers from Rice University in Houston and Texas A&M University at Galveston agree on the importance of some type of coastal barrier system to protect Houston and the surrounding region from hurricane-related storm surges. But Wednesday's meeting of the Legislature's Joint Interim Committee to Study a Coastal Barrier revealed little progress toward a plan. A&M Galveston advocates an $8 billion concept called the “coastal spine." Rice wants to develop a proposed "mid-bay" system, in conjunction with the spine.
"We've got to come together," said state Sen. Larry Taylor, R-Friendswood, the committee’s co-chairman, at Wednesday's hearing. "We're our biggest detriment to getting this done. We need to have a plan."
Lawmakers formed the committee, which has only met three times, after Hurricane Ike in 2008 as a response to various competing storm protection proposals. Although Ike was one of the costliest storms in U.S. history, scientists considered it a near-miss. Had the storm landed just 30 miles southwest, it would've inundated Galveston Island and sent a storm surge into Galveston Bay and the Houston Ship Channel, a 52-mile waterway that is home to oil refineries and industrial plants that produce much of the nation's gasoline, petroleum products and chemicals.
For years, there have been two competing proposals for protecting the region from a direct-hit storm. A&M-Galveston's "spine" pitch — an idea credited to oceanographer Bill Merrell — is a more expansive version of the "Ike Dike," a plan calling for massive floodgates at the entrance to Galveston Bay that would block storm surges.
Rice has endorsed a "mid-bay" system, which would place a floodgate closer to Houston's industrial complex.
At Wednesday's hearing, Larry Dunbar, project manager at Rice’s Severe Storm Prediction, Education and Evacuation from Disasters Center (SSPEED) said he believes the best course is to implement both the spine and the mid-bay system. That would create multiple lines of defense, he said, because the spine alone wouldn't provide full protection.
"It makes sense from an engineering standpoint to have a coastal barrier in place first, and a mid-bay system as a second line of defense," Dunbar said. "Ideally they'd both be built, but it all comes down to funding."
Cost, of course, is the big question, with each project requiring anywhere from an estimated $8 billion to $10 billion for implementation. One way to supplement the costs would be to work with members of Congress to get funding, a move that would avoid a lengthy process to get funding from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Land Commissioner George P. Bush has previously said that hurricane protection will be his top priority for the 2017 legislative session. On Wednesday, Taylor said the project should be federally funded, given that it's both a national security and an economic issue. However, funding cannot be requested until a project is approved and a consensus is reached — and Wednesday's was the committee's final meeting of the year. If its work is extended another year, as it has been in the past, the committee will go back to work on protecting the Texas coast in 2017.
Check out our Hell and High Water project, on the Houston Ship Channel's vulnerability to a major storm:
- Several experts worry that the low-lying residential areas in the Houston region are now more vulnerable to storms. Read more in our "Hell and High Water" project, done in collaboration with ProPublica.
- What could happen if a major storm hit the Houston region in just the right spot? This episode of Reveal looks at that worst-case scenario.

Jason Collins met with the media in Los Angeles before his Nets faced the Lakers on Sunday, just hours after his signing to a 10-day contract with Brooklyn became official.
Collins answered questions for several minutes, though many of his comments were unremarkable, just as his story one day hopes to be.
The discussion overall was more about his return to basketball after essentially being 10 months removed from being a part of an NBA roster, and how he will navigate that road instead of the one he’s traveling as the first openly gay member of a major professional sports franchise.
Collins did, however, have a message for other athletes who may find themselves dealing with a challenging set of circumstances.
“My message to other athletes is to be yourself,” Collins said. “Be your true authentic self, and never be afraid to be your authentic self.”
The entire press conference with Collins from Staples Center can be seen in the video clip above.

The French duo, composed of DJ Soulist and producer Fulgeance, pays tribute to the traditional rhythms of the Indian Ocean through two releases on the famous Heavenly Sweetness label. This Pura Vida Sounds EP is the beginning of a series dedicated to re-releasing tropical music.
Who would have thought that the tracks “Sulette – P’tit Courage” by René Lacaille and “Disco Sega” by Dominique Mingui & Dera Rakotomavo would one day be revived to animate modern dance floors? It was a seductive idea for the Parisian DJ and producer responsible for the label Musique Large, who reworked these two tracks from Réunion Island’s sega music in order to create something unpretentious and refreshing. After receiving carte blanche from the original authors, the two friends wanted to express their fascination for this Creole music that is pregnant with history. This rhythm from Afro-Malagasy and European heritage is a true expression of the musical and choreographic identity of the island.
“We wanted to bring more modernity and a transcendental rhythm to the track ‘Sulette’ but also a beat/bass music spirit that Fulgeance is very fond of, while keeping the freshness of this soft voice telling a touching story. For ‘Disco Sega’ as for many of the remixes, we kept the chorus, looped the rhythm and the strong elements of the piece, with the aim of keeping the dance going, always paired with the magic of the ternary in the binary!” This first volume is devoted to the sega music of Reunion Island and it announces still more beautiful stories to come.
P’TI SEGA EP will be released on October 30 on the Heavenly Sweetness label.

Microblading, also known as feathering, 3D eyebrows, or eyebrow embroidery. Microblading is a method of tattooing semi permanent hair strokes that mimic the natural hair pattern. This treatment is done by using a hand tool, with a blade of needles attached to it.
I use all disposable products, to ensure the cleanest most sterile environment to protect the health of my clients.
Microblading eyebrows is only implanted in the shallow layer of skin also known as the basal layer of the epidermis(the exfoliation layer) so how long it may last can change from person to person being as skin changing variables. My typical results after the fill, I recommend to see clients every six months to a year for a touch up.
The procedure is a little uncomfortable, most people compare the feeling to being tweezed or threaded, I do not recommend numbing prior to treatment, being as my healed results are much better without doing so, but after applying a light first past I apply a numbing cream making the remainder of treatment much more tolerable. I do what I can to make your treatment as painless as possible.
The treatment usually takes 2 hours from start to finish, the actual procedure itself taking anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half.
