Arthur link: http://www.jimmysate.co.uk/chinese/the-ultimate-satay-sauce.html
Satay sauce is one of the most popular sauces in Southeast Asian cuisine. No one knows it's origin, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand all claim it as their national dish. Each county has their own version of satay and satay sauce. First introduced by Indonesian restaurant in London, the sauce made popular by Chinese restaurants and takeaways during 1990s, the taste of sweetness and spicyness is unlike any other sauces. Satay sauce is increasing used by chefs in every cuisine in UK to produce their own unique dishes.
Unlike any other sauces, satay sauce is made with several main ingredients that other sauces don't have. However, Jimmy’s Saté Sauce is part of the main ingredients that good satay sauce can do without.
Our Ultimate Satay Sauce is easy to make at home or use it as a condiment with many dishes. We recommend to make the sauce in bulk, because the sauce can be stored in freezer much longer or in refrigerator for up to two weeks. When the sauce tasted so good! Why not use it as part of your cooking sauces. See our recipe for cooking ideas.
This recipe should give you more than 1 litre of prepared satay sauce, equal to 50 takeaway sauce cups. Suitable for home freezing or keep refrigerated in jar with tight lid for maximum 2 weeks.
One jar of Jimmy’s Saté Sauce
2 tablespoons Amoy’s Sesame Paste
50g galangal (crushed with a rolling pin)
50g lemon grass (crushed with a rolling pin)
20 curry leaves
2 teaspoon tamarind paste
2 tablespoon fish sauce
50g instant fried-shallot
40g instant fried-garlic
1 litre of water
1/2 tin of coconut milk
Use 1 tbsp oil to fried the crushed galangal and lemon grass in a large pot or wok.
Add curry leaves, fried-shallots and fired-garlic, coconut milk, then add 2 litres of water and bring to boiled for 10 minutes.
Mixed the saté sauce in jar well and do the same for sesame paste.
Pour the whole jar of the concentrated saté in wok, add sesame paste, sugar, fish sauce and tamarind paste.
Stir the mixture in wok constantly to prevent the sauce sticking to the wok.
Simmer the sauce for a further 5 minutes, the sauce is then ready to use as dipping sauce or cooking sauce.

title: Hed chatham rabbits be real with me

text:
Chatham Rabbits is another in a long line of husband-and-wife folk duos that stretches back to at least The Carter Family, but, more than most, the music the couple makes seems tied to their life partnership as much as their musical one.
That’s not to say that Sarah and Austin McCombie’s kindred spirits like Watchhouse or Gillian Welch & Dave Rawlings don’t find inspiration in their romantic connections as well, but, for the still-youthful North Carolina duo, the emotionally direct nature of the songwriting often grapples directly with the complexity of their intertwined romantic, business, and creative commitments. At one point on their new album, Be Real With Me, Sarah, who takes the majority of the lead vocals in her lilting twang that recalls Iris Dement or Nanci Griffith, openly admits “I want my freedom/I want a baby.”
That song, “Collateral Damage,” is one of many on the new album that ponders a sense of regret, or at least a road not yet taken for both Sarah and her partner Austin. They have both previously spoken about the pull-and-tug of their commitment to chasing their musical dream against the call of home (in their case, a working farm in rural North Carolina) and a less vagabond lifestyle, and that tension comes up often throughout (“Facing 29,” “Did I Really Know Him?,” “Pool Shark’s Table”).
That uneasiness only extends lyrically for the duo, who otherwise excel at a quietly winsome brand of Americana whose easy assuredness teeters on the edge of overly respectable. Mostly armed with acoustic guitar and banjo, their songs and performances are only lightly augmented with the assistance of longtime producer and collaborator Saman Khoujinian (The Dead Tongues, Lou Hazel), most often by pedal steel from Ryan Stigmon (Zach Top) and Austin adding percussion or electric guitar.
You can feel the group trying to stretch the plaintive core of their sound on this album more than their previous efforts, something more akin to the indie twang of a Zach Bryan record than home-spun acoustic roots tunes. For all that, though, the music is still mostly defined by the clean, trickling banjo lines and the husband-and-wife harmonies.
And, for all of the (relatively modest) sonic innovations here, the band's central appeal still very much applies. Be Real With Me is supremely tasteful, never-raucous Americana that goes down easy whether sad, searching, or jocular.
Chatham Rabbits' Be Real With Me is out Feb. 14.

title: Pramod sawant led govt will go after bjp loses delhi tagore

text:
Panaji: Senior Congress party leader Manickam Tagore on Thursday claimed that the day BJP government loses in Delhi after Parliament polls, there will also be debacle of Pramod Sawant-led government in the state.
Tagore is in Goa on two-day visit during which he met the officials of Pradesh Congress Committee in Panaji on Thursday. The Congress leader said that he has been mandated to review the performance of the PCC and also prepare for upcoming Lok Sabha election in the state.
He said that Congress party under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi will win both the Lok Sabha seats in Goa. “The day BJP loses in Delhi after Parliament election, you will see that Pramod Sawant-led government in Goa also collapses. This government is formed after buying over MLAs with money and also with the pressure of the central agencies,” he commented.
Tagore said that the INDIA alliance is a national level cooperation between like-minded parties but there also will be state level alliances. The state level alliances would be decided after the next meeting of INDIA alliance, he said.
The congress leader claimed that the people of the country want to oust BJP which is clearly indicated from the exit polls of the states which went for polling recently.
He said that the candidates for Lok sabha would be announced “on time.” Tagore said that the selection of candidate would be done through democratic process by various committees including Pradesh Election Committee and Central election committee which will meet before announcing the candidates.

title: Mission pet material cleaning with state of the art sorting technology

text:
In order to achieve the EU recycling targets in the plastics sector, the recycling of PET plays an important role. This is exactly where the newly founded Austrian company Mission PET GmbH starts: PET recycling experts have joined forces on the ground of the Zellinger company’s eco-park in Feldkirchen-Gerling/Austria and have taken the challenges of their circular economy mission.
Mission PET has set itself the target of an annual capacity of 14,000 metric tons of rPET pellets. In addition to the classic bott le-to-bott le application, the company also serves other areas of application for rPET pellets.
Highest demands on rPET material for a wide range of applications
Mission PET sees the circular economy mission in the consistent implementation of PET recycling. The bandwidth for the use of recycled PET material is diverse. However, only high-purity rPET material also meets the requirements that correspond to those of virgin material. The demands placed on the recycling process for preparing the PET material are correspondingly high. Best decontamination and material cleaning of the PET starting material are the prerequisites for maximum purity of the end product.
Highest precision in material sorting
Thanks to the cooperation of primarily regional and professional project partners, the Mission PET plant could go into operation in March 2023. As an experienced project partner for sorting technology, Sesotec supplied the high-precision sorting system FLAKE PURIFIER+, which ensures the highest purity of flakes. In addition, Sesotec planned and engineered the steel structure, silo, plant control system, and BigBag stations for mixing the input fraction around the sorting system.
Mission PET extracts high-quality pellets from pre-sorted, crushed and washed PET bottles. Pellets, which, in addition to a wide range of applications, can even be used in the food industry. Using the BigBag stations supplied by Sesotec, the incoming PET material is mixed in order to obtain uniform fractions. The high-precision FLAKE PURIFIER+ sorting system reliably detects and rejects unwanted plastics, off-colors and also metallic contaminants. The resort track in the FLAKE PURIFIER+ even makes it possible for material that has already been sorted out to pass through the sorting process again. This results in minimal loss of good material, while at the same time achieving high throughputs.
The high-purity PET material obtained is then processed into pellets to be used instead of newly produced PET for the manufacture of a wide variety of products.

title: artisanal Object Storage

text:
artisanal Object Storage
To add the qrcode generation feature for an app that I’m building, I would need to store the images somewhere, so that the user can retrieve them without computing them every time. To do that, I would need an object-storage.
Different cloud providers bill it in different ways. Most of my stuff I deploy it on Linode, that charges $5/month for some GBs of object storage and then an extra $0.002 for extra GB. Then Oracle Cloud offer it for free, but I wasn’t able to understand their UI to find the object storage. Then Vercel offer it for free on the developer tier, but then you have to install some sdk to access it? Nuts 🤷
So I figured.. how much space do I have on the local filesystem of my tiny nanode?
[cloud-user@garage01-andrewdomain ~]$ df -h | grep -v tmpfs
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda 25G 2.3G 21G 10% /
How to set up limits
We don’t want to have our little nanode full of qrcode images.. so it would be wise to set up a limit around the “disk” that we’re gonna give our new object-storage server.
When you build an ISO file, like the one that you burn on a USB device
to install your Linux distro, you usually allocate some disk space to a file and create a loop device that you then
use as a mount point to fill it with content.
We’re gonna use the same principle.
$ touch ./nasty
$ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=./nasty bs=1KiB count=3000000
Now, to use our newly created file as a loop device, we can spawn a block device whose name is like /dev/loopX, provided that it is not occupied yet.
To check for any loop device in use (empty output is definitely possible):
$ losetup --list
To use our newly created file as a loop device, we could use
$ sudo losetup -f ./nasty
, where -f means “find first available”
or we can choose a name (provided that it is not occupied) with the following command line.
$ sudo losetup /dev/loop0 ./nasty
Our /dev/loop0 will show up in the output of lsblk
, and will be usable
as any other block device on the system.
Mounting it persistently
Now that we have a device of a specific size, we can make a filesystem on it and mount it.
First we create the filesystem on the loop device, and we place the definition of the mount on /etc/fstab.
$ sudo mkfs.xfs /dev/loop0
$ echo "" | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
$ echo "# Artisanal Object Storage" | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
$ echo "UUID=$(lsblk --output=UUID /dev/loop0 | tail -n 1) /mnt/objs-artisanal xfs defaults 0 0" | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
Now we can verify that the mounts in the fstab file work correctly, and if they do, we move forward…
$ sudo mount -a
$ df -h | grep loop0
The container image for the object storage server logic
I chose minio as the object-storage server. For no particular reason.
To run the minio container available at docker.io/minio/minio, one could either
$ podman run -it -p 9000:9000 --rm -v /mnt/objs-artisanal/:/data:z docker.io/minio/minio server /data
or even better, manage it as a systemd service using the podman systemd units (man 5 podman-systemd.unit)
So we should first think of credentials for this service and save them somewhere.
Then we could create a podman secret like so:
$ podman secret create minio-pwd ./miniopwd
That secret will be mounted inside the container, as an env variable, one that the app inside the container knows and watches.
The path for podman systemd units is: ~/.config/containers/systemd/
and we want to put the following content inside of the file minio.container
Then we must inform systemd of the change in available user units:
$ systemd --user daemon-reload
Then if we configured everything correctly, we should have a working container:
$ systemctl --user start minio
$ journalctl -e # shows system logs
$ ss -tlpn # shows listening tcp sockets
Now.. provided that minio does not change the location of this document,
you could read it to understand how to acquire the mc
command line tool (a.k.a. minio client).
Then you could do something like this (if you have your password in the env var $secretmini)
$ mc alias set artisanal http://127.0.0.1:9000 <username> $secretmini
Now you could test if everything works with
$ mc admin info artisanal
Notice how until now.. you never needed root privileges to spawn the minio service.
Write to it
For somebody that does not know much about an object storage…
First we create a bucket
$ mc mb artisanal/trashcan
then create some content
$ touch ./trash
$ dd if=/dev/urandom of=./trash bs=1MB count=100
and upload it
$ mc cp ./trash artisanal/trashcan
Green as Success!
Then you can always take it out!
$ mc ls artisanal/trashcan
$ mc cp artisanal/trashcan/trash ./more-trash
One would not want to use this solution for something that needs be reliable..
On this kind of setup, backup/restore and disaster recovery (a.k.a. DR) procedures are not considered.
When you use a cloud provider’s object storage service, they take care of the backup/restore and DR procedures for you. Plus they make the service highly available to you and fast to access on the selected regions, all things of the infra world that are complex and cost money.
Am I gonna use this dirtyness for a project?
Well.. let’s say a project and not a product.
SQL databases are no file servers. They are not optimized to serve byte-objects.
Of course technically you could use the bytea
object in (e.g.) Postgres, but it smells and looks bad.
So you either keep it in your filesystem (looks bad, backup plans look worse, you don’t scale), or you do it the modern-world way and put it in a specialized place that exposes and endpoint that you can talk to, to share objects (a.k.a. blobs), i.e. an object storage server, that exposes a REST API endpoint and is responsible for all the sharing/archiving logic, so you don’t have to.

title: Tailbone injuries

text:
When you’ve injured your tailbone, you know it. A coccyx injury results in discomfort and pain in the sacral spine or tailbone area, a condition called coccydynia. Tailbone injuries can result in a bruise, dislocation, or even a fracture of the coccyx. The pain may get worse when you sit down or stand up, or when you lean back while sitting. In some cases, the pain can shoot all the way down your legs. Lessening the pressure on your sacral spine by walking or standing should give you temporary relief from the pain.
The coccyx sits at the very bottom portion of the sacral spine. It is called the tailbone because it represents a vestigial tail. The tailbone consists of 3-5 separate or fused vertebrae. It was initially thought that the tailbone is always fused together so that there is no movement between the coccygeal vertebrae. However, it is now understood that the entire coccyx is not one solid bone and that there is some limited movement between the bones.
Tailbone injuries are most often caused by trauma to the coccyx area, such as:
Sometimes, the cause of coccyx injuries cannot be determined.
If you know you have incurred a tailbone injury, or you have unexplained discomfort in your coccyx, contact a medical professional. It is important that you find out the extent of the injury, or if the symptoms are caused by more serious problems.
ChiroCare of Florida doctors provide chiropractic therapy for anyone who has suffered an injury to their coccyx. Our experienced doctors will use techniques that are comfortable for you and can help you get back to everyday life.

title: Sell your unwanted house in sarasota bradenton to take advantage of the low interest rates

text:
Now is the time to sell your unwanted house in Sarasota Bradenton to take advantage of the low-interest rates!
The number one thing that will sell unwanted property is to offer it for sale at an appropriate asking price. Spend some time and research the recent comparable sales in the close area to the property. Make sure to analyze all aspects of the property: whether or not it has a pool or access to a body of water or canal, the year the property was built, the proximity to shopping plazas, grocery stores, or other points of interest in the neighborhood. Determine the appropriate asking price by using the most recent sales possible, preferably in the past 6 months. If there are no recent comps in the offer, consider using other properties in the area and subtracting or adding value based on features that your property does or does not have. If you offer the property for sale too far below market, then buyers might believe there is something wrong with the property.
Sell to a Home Buyer
If you are in an urgent need to sell your house in Sarasota Bradenton, selling to a professional home buyer might be the option for you. They usually provide cash offers with an extremely quick closing time frame and may or may not require an inspection first. The home buyer will usually have a large network of investors with multiple portfolio types and can easily add your property to it. You can use this quick cash to have your down payment for your next property to take advantage of the low-interest rates.
Offer Owner Financing
There are many future buyers that are looking for a lending alternative who may not have the best financial history on paper, but are honestly trying to improve their situation. Offering owner financing might be a great option to open up your house to more buyers, just make sure to do a background and reference check. Owner financing would also be a great option if you are looking for long term monthly payments. This would be a great option if you already have the down payment for your new house.
Find a Property
It is important to do research on your next purchase before jumping into something to take advantage of the low-interest rates. Check out the schools, entertainment, access to shopping and groceries. Check that the taxes are paid, check the zoning, verify if the property is in a property owners association, this will cost you over time and eat into your rental profits. Make sure you conduct an inspection of the house you are interested in, most lenders will require this anyway. You want to make sure you pick a house with a good structure, a comfortable floor plan, and some curb appeal.
Find a Mortgage
The mortgage rates are at a low point right now, take advantage of this opportunity! Lower interest rates mean the lenders are more willing to originate loans. Shop around different mortgage companies to find the best rate you can get with your financial situation. Keep your credit score in mind, and contact multiple lenders to see what they can do for you. Choose the lender that has the lowest interest rate with the length of payment and type of loan that works for you and the property you plan on purchasing. Having a pre-approved letter in hand will give you the advantage when making an offer on your new house.

title: Fish in crazy water high above the amalfi coast at hotel caruso

text:
One of my most treasured experiences visiting Italy, among so many, was a visit last June to Hotel Caruso in the Amalfi Coast's gem of Ravello. Among the splendor of the boutique hotel's elegance are dining experiences, from fine to casual, elevated by coastal views and cuisine prepared from numerous alfresco kitchens within the spreading property on the areas highest ridge.
I took a Neapolitan pizza (infinity) poolside from the Caruso Grill and a Negroni with small bites at the Caruso Bar (aka, the "American" bar) while also taking in sweeping views of mountains and sea.
Said vistas are most available at the property's main dining venue, Ristorante Belvedere, with terrace seating under thatched trellises among abundant gardens teeming with flower gardens, potted trees, and indigenous flora further perfumed by the scent of lemons. I enjoyed elaborate fine dining experiences there, with ingredients procured from the land and sea within view, under the auspices of acclaimed Executive Chef Armando Aristarco.
I spent an afternoon with Chef Armando in the alfresco kitchen adjacent to the restaurant with the "belvedere" (beautiful view). Under dangling aromatics, Chef prepared a fresh Orata, hand chosen from a selection of local fish pulled from the sea that morning, to make in "Acqua Pazza" (crazy water).
While we prepared the fish in crazy water, Chef explained the philosophy behind his cooking, one that is so familiar around Italy: Focus on local ingredients, in season, simply prepared. Watch the video below for the entirety of our conversation. Scroll down further for the recipe, using Sea Bass which is an alternative to Orata available fresh in the US.

title: Dental news youve missed week 23

text:
Follow Dentistry.co.uk on Instagram to keep up with all the latest dental news and trends.
Missed out on this week’s dental news? No problem, here’s what happened over the past seven days…
It’s summer holiday time. But this year many sun seeker’s plans have been scraped due to COVID-19. Earlier this week, Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that those returning from Spain to the UK would have to quarantine for 14 days. But the BDA says this isn’t necessary if an employee is a GDC registrant.
Face masks and coverings became compulsory in shops last week and it seems they may become essential for dental staff too. PHE advice this week says that if a practice is not COVID-19 secure, all dental staff in primary care environments must wear a face mask. This includes non-clinical staff too.
The 60-minute recommended fallow time is a real sticking point in dentistry at the moment. Shutting down a surgery for 60 minutes after each patient makes running a successful business almost impossible. And it seems that less than half of countries worldwide recommend a fallow time for non-COVID patients. Surely there has to be a better solution.
Following his own battle with COVID, Boris Johnson has vowed to tackle the obesity epidemic in the UK. This week he announced a number of new measures to bring down the nation’s weight, including a ban on junk food adverts, buy one get one free deals and the display of chocolates and sweets at checkouts. This is a step in the right direction, but more needs to be done to reduce the sugar content in packaged and processed foods and drinks.
One of our long reads this week comes from dental therapist Sarah Thomson as she talks about her battle with alcoholism and how she turned her life around.
And finally, 96% of dental professionals believe lockdown has negatively impacted the UK’s oral health. As a result, dental leaders are calling for greater access to affordable dental care.
If you have some spare time have a browse through the latest webinars over on Dentistry Study Club. There are no live webinars scheduled next week, but you can still access our complete back catalogue under the ‘On demand webinars’ tab for free.


title: Female investors risk averse new research busts myths 15621

text:
Pop psychology often reduces the issues around achieving gender parity in business and finance to the inherent differences in the way men and women think, make decisions and lead.
Blanket statements range from ‘women are more nurturing and maternal when it comes to their management styles’ to ‘women are less aggressive than men, which holds them back from demanding pay rises and promotions’.
A popular assumption in the world of investment is that women are seen to be risk averse, which automatically puts an entire gender of qualified, talented, and sharp investors in box with a glass ceiling.
The finding that men are more inclined to take risks than women has been repeated in hundreds of studies over the years, across continents, cultures and languages. Researchers point to economic and evolutionary reasons for this, and a recent study went on to reveal that the gender differences around risk taking is wider when people are under stress.
In stressful situations, men take more risks, while women take less.
The main reason for this general trend has to do with gender differences in brain activity involved in analysing risk and preparing for action. This suggests in a stressful, deadlines and sales targets-heavy work environment, men may be too reckless, and women may be playing it safe when it comes to decision-making.
This research, by extension, could make a stronger case for a 50-50 gender split in organisations. When under stress, teams of men and women would most likely make smarter decisions than a team that in heavy in one gender alone.
A recent investor study of over 1,000 retail investors, carried out by online investment platform SyndicateRoom, reveals an interesting take on the gender disparity in investing; online platforms reduce inequality in male–female participation in equity markets by 20 percent.
The study also revealed that women are twice as likely as men to be dissatisfied with traditional brokers, which again nudges them towards digital platforms.
Measuring levels of satisfaction among investors, SyndicateRoom found that 8 per cent of investors were dissatisfied with brokers, as the pressure of high management fees paired with dwindling interest rates continues to mount. Among female investors, this level of dissatisfaction rose to 11 per cent – more than twice that of males.
Female investors were therefore found to be much more likely to seek out alternative platforms through which to invest their money. SyndicateRoom’s research found that only 56 per cent of women in the UK would consider making equity investments through any method, compared to 65.5 per cent of men. However, when talking solely about investing online, that gap reduces to a smaller divide, with 48 per cent of male investors using a digital platform, compared with 42 per cent of female investors.
Additionally, it found that in 2017, men are 17 per cent more likely to access the equity markets than women – but for those using online investment platforms, that male–female divide is reduced by a fifth, again highlighting the role of online investment platforms in breaking down barriers to investing.
For entrepreneur, investor, and advocate for gender parity, Sherry Coutu CBE, news that online investment platforms are helping to get more women interested in both investing in and raising finance for British businesses is indicative of shifting gender perceptions in the UK–for the better. “With an impressive 42 per cent of female investors participating in online investing, the potential of online platforms to further financial inclusion by bridging the gender divide is unparalleled,” she adds.
The SyndicateRoom research challenges the idea that an entire gender may behave a certain way when it comes to making investment decisions by revealing how new technologies that bring new ways of thinking about equity investing could narrow the gender gap. Most researchers agree that perception bias can always skew the way we assess data. Women are perceived to be more risk averse, so they are–and the women who challenge these gender studies by taking bigger risks may be at a disadvantage when looking for support for their decisions because of sweeping gender assumptions.

Should You Really Bail Your Teen Out of Jail?
Your eyes fly open. A second ago, you were deep in dreamland. Now, your phone is screaming for attention. As you reach for it, you realize two things: You recognize your son’s ringtone and you see that it’s 3 a.m. Putting these two thoughts together, you know this call can’t be good.
“Hi Dad,” he says, “I’m in jail. Please come bail me out.”
Like many parents in this situation, you’re not sure what to say. Your teen has been charged with possession. He was busted at a party where drugs were the snack of choice over Doritos. Should you let him sit in jail for a day or two to teach him a lesson?
“Off the Hook” May Get Them Hooked
It’s a common question for parents of teens. Often, our kids are not (yet) showing signs of alcohol or drug addiction, but get in substance-related trouble anyway. They drink and drive. They get caught buying alcohol with a fake I.D. They abuse drugs socially at the occasional party.
When they face criminal charges, should you come to the rescue or let them stew?
As their parent, it’s natural to want to protect your teen. You may want to dive in at the first sign of trouble and pull them out. That’s your baby, right? You want to keep them safe and help them any way you can. But, this can actually do more harm than good.
If your teen never suffers the consequences of his actions, he may never change his ways. He is likely to continue down the path of drug abuse. It may seem like this path is only slightly off the straight and narrow now, but it leads to dangerous places. Allowing them to learn their lesson can help teens change course before they’re hooked on drugs.
“But, He’s a Good Kid…”
It’s easy to come up with excuses for bailing out your teen. As parents, we often tell ourselves these rationalizations to try to protect our teens (and ourselves) from the truth. Let’s look at a couple of the most popular:
“She didn’t mean to do anything wrong. She just got caught with the wrong crowd.”
Okay, maybe she was with the wrong crowd – and maybe she didn’t fully realize what was going on – but facing the consequences of hanging out with those “friends” will hopefully make her think twice about being with them in the future. A weekend in jail might make that type of crowd less appealing.
Plus, it’s likely that (as hard as it is to accept) your teen did know what was going on. No one wants to admit their child could do wrong, but it’s okay. No one is perfect. Better to admit their imperfections now and learn from them, than move on in denial and encourage bad behavior, right?
You may feel like you’re admitting failure as a parent. You may even be embarrassed by your teen’s actions. But, for their own good, don’t keep blaming others. Accept what she’s done, and make her accept it too. Make your teen take responsibility for her actions and learn from mistakes. It’s what we all ultimately have to do.
“It won’t happen again.”
We tell ourselves this, despite all the evidence to the contrary. How many parents have convinced themselves this is true, only to bail their teen out again the following month? Millions. But if nothing negative happens, why wouldn’t they do it again? It’s more likely your teen will continue experimenting until something really bad happens (and then it may be too late.)
Don’t fool yourself into thinking the unburned hand won’t reach for the hot pot again. It is hard to watch, but we might have to let them suffer a scald to avoid third-degree burns down the road.

CATS ON TUESDAY
Now it's a week that I am home and after some very rainy days the sun finally came out since the weekend.
Arthur became a very busy cat with all the garden work around ! He helped me to pull out weeds, happy that I digged out holes for him and he couldn't understand that I closed them. Therefore he opened them again. He checked my utensils and was very interested in my gloves. It is hard work when Arthur helps ! There is earth everywhere on the white tiles !
Fortunately after a while he had enough, took a sunbath and then settled down on the gravel in the shade of the car.
Kim disappeared inside as soon as I showed up with my garden equipment and went inside. As soon as I had finished she went out again. She is an remains a strange cat !
Rosie preferred to watch my work from inside through the window. The new neighbor's dog was in the garden and she isn't used to him yet. He looks through the hedge, but doesn't bark at her. But still, for Rosie's delicate nose a dog stinks !
Pookie seems to be happy that I am back, she leads her old lady life, mostly besides me on the sofa, when she is not claiming for food ! Which happens each time when she sees us moving around. She has become a little skinnier, but not too much and still climbs on the sofa or beds with a little difficulties, but that happens to us humans too !

Istanbul is the largest city in Turkey, with the economic, history and cultural heart and it holds the population of 13.9 million in the area of 5343 square kilometers. Istanbul holds the worlds busiest waterfall Bosphorus which is located between Black Sea and Sea of Marmara in the northwestern Turkey. Istanbul was the city holds the most significant cities in the worlds history which is from Sarayburnu promontory around 660 BC as Byzantium. It served as the capital for Roman Empire around 330 to 395, for Byzantine Empire from 395 to 1204 and later from 1261 to 1453 and for Latin Empire from 1204 to 1261 and finally for the Ottoman Empire from 1453 to 1922.
In history Istanbul is known as cultural hub till now. Ankara has made the competition with Istanbul after the Turkish Republic. We should say that Istanbul win the competition, since it holds the cultural history which has the roots to the origin. More museums like Istanbul modern, Pera Museum and much more which opened around 2000 takes the highlight in the history. Cultural festival of Istanbul which holds the primary role in Music and dance makes the records. International Istanbul Film Festival and International Istanbul Jazz festival which is the more than the festival which keeps the crown for the culture.
Aya Sofia which is also known as Hagia Sophia which is turned from Church to Mosque and now to Museum says the history. It says about history and the architecture till date which is built more that 1000 years ago which is I am not sure. At first it is known as “Church of Holy Apostles” built around 360 AD. When you have a chance to go there just remember to see the top of it which speaks about the history. It takes five years with ten thousand workers to build it. Later by 1453 Sultan Mehmed Conquer it and changed it to Mosque in the name of Allah says the history. By 1953 it is changed to Museum.
Basilica Cistern which brought drinking water to Istanbul from Thrace which was built is sixth century which is located opposite to Blue Mosque which is also known as Sultan Ahmed Mosque. This place proves the old epic and you will feel it when you reach there which takes to the olden days which was built around 532 AD. This has more patterns which is from the Pagan temples and much more for researchers.
Rustem Pasha Mosque, Bosphorus Strait, Istanbul Archaeology Museum (Arkeoloji Muzesi), Kucuk Ayasofya Camii (Church of the Saints Sergius and Bacchus) and much more places there with the record of history and various life styles that followed in early days. It makes you check your date and time and makes you to think about the present world.
There are more beaches in Istanbul which is easy to build a beach over there. Beaches like Sile Beach which is about 70 kilometers which attracts you much more. it has a delightful holiday center to enjoy the world with family and friends and the events there will be traditional. Uzunya Beach, Kilyos Beach and other beach are the famous beaches built with the attraction for the tourist to enjoy the life and the places there is very attractive to be sure.

The Bomb Jammer ™ shown here is the VIP300 Series. This RF Jammer was named the “We Own The Spectrum” Bomb Jammer ™ VIP 300WOTS. As an RF Jammer, the system is vehicle mounted. It consists of modular radio signal jamming telemetry, or what we call RF Radio Jammer components that conduct defensive jamming to defeat radio controlled improvised explosive devices (RCIED).
When reviewing IED Jammers, it is important to understand that not all IED Jammers are in fact used as a Bomb Jammer. Some IED Jammers are used to block cellular phone signals, and those types of cell phone jammers may have an effect on some IED threats.
Other IED Jammers are used to block only specific threats that include hardware or software interfaces of a radio jammer. The Bomb Jammer™ VIP 300WOTS operates as an RF Jammer that employs sophisticated RF technology to transmit Fast Random Sweep interference signals across a very broad range of the spectrum identified to contain threats used to detonate roadside bombs.
The VIP 300WOTS is a multi-band jammer with extended abilities that interferes with current threats in order to defeat RCIEDS. These may be put together using cell phones, walkie talkies, and satellite phones. The unique Bomb Jammer ™ VIP 300WOTS creates intensive barrage interference within the whole frequency range and at the same time amplifies the jamming signal on the narrow frequency channels which makes it more effective against the use of walkie talkies and cell phones – known devices utilized by terrorists for remote control detonation.
The VIP 300WOTS is unique. No other Bomb Jammer ™ effectively covers as many frequency ranges. To view the frequency spectrum used by RCIEDs and learn more about our bomb jammer abilities, contact us or go to: http://www.bombjammer.com

title: Nara smith viral homemade rosemary oil why study agrees it can help regrow hair

text:
In a viral video with 51.7 million views, model and social media creator Nara Smith shared her hair growth recipe featuring the herbal plant; rosemary. This came after narrating a haircut disaster she experienced weeks ago.
"My bangs are a lot shorter than I want them, and the back of my head is something that I don't even wanna talk about. So in order to fix it, I need to make my hair grow as quickly as I can," said Mrs. Smith.
In the video, she demonstrated how she made her rosemary oil -- from scratch. First, she let the plant simmer in water for 15 minutes, let it cool, and transferred it to a spray bottle.
To make the hair oil, she used olive oil with rosemary sprigs, but avocado or coconut are also good alternatives, as per Nara. Next, she infused it in a double boiler for 45 minutes, before putting other ingredients like argan oil, jojoba, vitamin E, sweet almond, and peppermint oils and put it to another bottle.
She applied these two homemade products to her hair to help her hair grow faster after being made fun of in a video showing the back of her head on the video-sharing platform.
When her video went viral, a lot of her fans immediately followed her recipe, although some were skeptical about its effectiveness.
Rosemary was originally used as a food seasoning, but through the years, it is also been used for aromatic and medicinal purposes, such as for growing hair.
In a 2015 study, it was found that Rosemary has properties similar to Minoxidil, a drug used to treat alopecia or hair loss. However, improvements can be seen slowly, which may take up to six months.
It is also noted that Rosemary can cause skin allergy and other risks, thus, Dr. Nkem Ugunabo told Vogue that diluting is important. This practice was also shown by Nara, wherein she combined the Rosemary oil with other types of carrier oil.

Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson has been discussing his love of progressive rock, in particular Van der Graaf Generator, Jethro Tull and Arthur Brown, showing it's not just Maiden founder Steve Harris who lives their prog in Iron Maiden. Although with the proliferation of lengthy epics on the band's most recent albums, that probably doesn't come as much of a surprise.
Dickinson is currently busy promoting his new solo album album, The Mandrake Project, his first since 2005's Tyranny Of Souls, which will be released on March 1 via BMG.
Speaking to American online hard rock and heavy metal website Loudwire, Dickinson said, "The people that were influencing me; Arthur Brown, Alice Cooper - what I love about Alice, apart from being who he is is that he is absolutely open about who set him on that path: Arthur Brown.
"Artists who use lyrics and the storytelling. Ones who told big long stories. A guy called Peter Hammill from Van der Graaf Generator. Pawn Hearts - I used to play that album to death. It’s only got three tracks on it. If you were in pursuit of a girlfriend, by the time you’ve got about ten minutes in to A Plague Of Lighthouse Keepers she’s usually jumped out the window.
"Songs like that, and Ian Anderson. Aqualung was a big go-to. What a great record, great lyrics. He was a great storyteller. And he had a kind of folky tradition thing going on in the background. And folk songs tell stories. They’re the original rock’n’roll story tellers. Before there was prog rock there was folk music."
Dickinson will be signing physical copies of The Mandrake Project at five HMV stores in the UK on March 1, 2 and 3. The sessions will begin with a midnight signing at HMV Cardiff on March 1, and be followed by similar events in HMV stores in London, Birmingham Sheffield and Manchester.

title: Colombian police arrest suspect in peru mine workers killings

text:
Police in Colombia have arrested a man suspected of being involved in the killing of 13 kidnapped workers at a gold mine in neighbouring Peru.
Miguel Antonio Rodríguez Díaz, whose alias is “Cuchillo” (knife), was arrested in the city of Medellin in a joint operation between the two countries and Interpol, according to Peru’s interior ministry and Colombian police.
The bodies of the miners were recovered on 4 May from a tunnel at a mine in the Pataz district of Peru.
A lawyer for Mr Diaz has denied his involvement in the killings.
Peru is one of the largest gold producers in Latin America and has seen a surge in violence from illegal miners and organised criminal gangs.
The 13 men killed in Pataz had been sent to confront a group which had attacked and occupied the mine but were ambushed and seized as they were trying to regain control of it, Peruvian authorities said.
Mr Diaz is suspected of allegedly ordering the storming of the mine’s entrance, with the aim of stealing gold extracted by miners, Peru’s interior ministry said in a statement.
He is accused of “organised crime, aggravated kidnapping and aggravated homicide”, it added.
A video posted by authorities showed him being detained by armed police in a busy downtown area of Medellin.
Colombian police chief Carlos Triana said Mr Diaz was located with the support of the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency and was subject to an Interpol red notice.
Peru’s interior ministry said they expected Mr Diaz to be extradited to Peru in the coming days.
La Poderosa, which owns the mine where the murders took place, previously said 39 people with links to the company have been killed by criminal gangs in Pataz in total.
This most recent attack prompted Peru’s President Dina Boluarte to impose a night-time curfew in Pataz and to suspend mining activities for a month. Extra police and soldiers were also sent to the region.

title: Dswd fo car turns over listahanan database to mountain province plgu

text:
Bontoc, Mountain Province – The Department of Social Welfare and Development Field Office – Cordillera Administrative Region (DSWD FO-CAR) officially handed over the Listahanan 3 Database of Poor Households to the Provincial Local Government Unit (PLGU) of Mountain Province on December 2024, at the Provincial Capitol.
The Listahanan database is a comprehensive government database that identifies who and where the poor are. It serves as a critical tool for ensuring that social protection programs reach their intended beneficiaries. By providing evidence-based data, Listahanan enables local governments to create targeted interventions that address the unique needs of vulnerable communities.
The data revealed that three in every ten households in Mountain Province are living in poverty. Paracelis emerged as the most vulnerable, with 61% of its households classified as poor—the highest in the region. This underscores the pressing need for intensified efforts to bring assistance and hope to families striving to overcome the challenges of poverty.
During the ceremony, Listahanan Regional Field Coordinator Climson Balangue emphasized the importance of the database in addressing poverty with precision. “Using the Listahanan database will allow the Mountain Province LGU to identify and serve those who need it most, ensuring that no one is left behind in the fight against poverty,” he said.
Meanwhile, Governor Bonifacio Lacwasan, Jr. expressed gratitude and vowed to use the data as a catalyst for meaningful change. “This partnership with DSWD will help us create targeted programs that uplift the lives of our constituents, particularly the most vulnerable among us,” he said.
Data Protection Officer Marifil C. Jugal underscored the importance of data privacy in maintaining the integrity of the Listahanan database and safeguarding the individuals it represents. “The data in the Listahanan database is not merely a collection of information; it reflects real people and their lives. It is our duty to handle this information with the highest standards of care and confidentiality. Protecting data privacy fosters trust and accountability, ensuring this resource is used responsibly to uplift lives.” she stated.
The Listahanan 3 database, which profiled over 30,000 households, will guide the province in implementing programs such as education and health subsidies, livelihood assistance, and disaster relief initiatives.
The turnover ceremony included a symbolic handover, a presentation of key findings, and discussions on leveraging the data to improve service delivery and transform lives in Mountain Province.#DSWD-CAR, SOCIAL MARKETING UNIT, Joanna Marie M. Caponpon-Apostol, Administrative Assistant III


title: Foot care investment

text:
A proactive foot care investment reduces future healthcare expenses. We often forget the importance of our feet—until they start to hurt. These complex structures support our weight and allow us to move freely. Even mild discomfort can develop into a persistent problem if ignored. Over time, issues that could have been prevented with simple care may lead to expensive and invasive treatments. In this article, you’ll discover why foot health is more than a comfort issue—it’s a smart way to avoid future complications and medical expenses. Choosing a podiatric prevention investment today means avoiding more serious complications tomorrow.
Common Foot Problems That Can Worsen Without Care
Untreated Plantar Pain
One morning, you feel a brief, sharp pain beneath your foot. Perhaps you’ve just completed a long hike, or maybe your shoes are too tight. You brush it off, thinking it will go away. But day after day, the pain worsens until it’s difficult to even stand. This is often how plantar fasciitis begins—an inflammation of the foot’s fascia that can lead to chronic pain. Without early treatment, you may end up needing cortisone injections or even surgery.
Ingrown Toenails and Risk of Infection
An ingrown toenail might seem minor at first—a bit of redness or tenderness. But if left untreated, the area can become swollen, painful, and infected. For people with diabetes or circulation issues, this can lead to open wounds or even amputation. A quick visit to a podiatrist can prevent serious consequences.
Bunions and Other Foot Deformities
Foot deformities like bunions (hallux valgus) start small: a bump near the big toe, some discomfort in narrow shoes. But over time, the bone shifts, affecting your gait and making walking painful. Ignoring bunions can result in complex surgery and long recovery periods.
People with diabetes are more vulnerable to foot issues. A small cut or friction from a poorly fitting shoe can become a chronic wound. Without proper podiatric care, these wounds can turn into ulcers and require long, expensive treatments. Regular check-ups with a podiatrist enable early detection of issues and the prevention of severe consequences.
Why See a Podiatrist Can Save You Money
Benefits of a Podiatric Prevention Investment
Just like regular dentist visits prevent costly dental procedures, annual podiatrist checkups catch problems before they escalate. Preventive foot care is not only better for your health—it’s smarter for your wallet.
Avoiding Surgery With Preventive Foot Care
Podiatrists can recommend custom orthotics, targeted exercises, or proper footwear. These small interventions can halt the progression of issues and help you avoid surgery altogether.
Accessible Podiatric Solutions to Prevent Complications
Wearing Proper Footwear and Custom Orthotics
Wearing the right shoes is the first step toward foot health. Custom orthotics help distribute pressure and correct posture imbalances, reducing the risk of future pain or injury.
Preventive Treatments at a Podiatry Clinic
Professional nail care, callus removal, and antifungal treatments are simple steps that can prevent serious complications down the road.
Your feet carry you through life—they deserve care and attention. Seeing your podiatrist regularly is part of a wise foot care investment means fewer limitations, less pain, and lower medical bills later. Don’t wait—book a foot health assessment today. Your feet will thank you.

Adam Jenson, Year 2 Teacher, Chaddlewood School, Plymouth
As a Year Two class teacher, I know just how important it is to get children engaged with their health and wellbeing from a young age.
This is especially important during the summer months, when the children are at risk of sun exposure. In the past, some of the children have struggled to grasp some of the more abstract terms that we have to teach them as part of the national curriculum, so in order to get around that, we take them to a beach to help make learning more tangible for them. It’s surprising how many children have never been to a beach before, even though we’re in Plymouth where there are plenty around. These kind of visits helps them to engage with vocabulary around coasts and estuaries and as part of the visits, we do a lot of work about the importance of sun safety.
The Boots Soltan Sun Ready resources have been a great help in prepping the children about sun safety behaviours ahead of the trips to the beach. They’ve been brilliant in developing their understanding about staying safe in the sun and getting into good habits ready for their adult lives, so they don’t encounter any future problems with their skin.
We have a crowded timetable at the best of times, so as teachers we need to find ways to fit in lots of different areas of education into each day at school. Given that we go to the beach for other parts of the children’s education, the sun safety resources fit perfectly, and haven’t required any additional work which is always bonus when you’re pushed for time as a teacher.
Before we used the Boots Soltan Sun Ready resources, we would go to the beach and the children wouldn’t think to bring any sun cream, so we’d have to share it out. Since using the resources, the uptake of children applying sun cream independently has increased hugely. The children are getting into good habits and taking the initiative, as well as sharing the information with their parents at home which is brilliant.
Through the resources, I think the children developed the knowledge that there are very simple ways of staying safe in the sun and that it’s not necessarily just applying sun cream and knowing about the moderation of it. Also, as a benefit for us, learning these methods gives the children more independence.
The Year Two age group is when the children start finding themselves and really develop their own individual personalities, and because they’re the oldest year group in Key Stage One; they like to be seen as the grown-ups. For example, as a teacher we want the children to be at the stage where they write with joined up handwriting automatically, without us having to ask them. It’s the same with sun safety; we want them to go to the beach and know the importance of grabbing a hat or applying sun cream straight away.
The sun safety poster design competition this year was a brilliant idea and an ideal opportunity to give something to my teaching assistant, because it’s a very straight forward assessment opportunity. It got the children thinking about how they would stay safe in the sun, but it also allowed me to have a look around the class to see who had ideas of what this involved.
I’d recommend the Boots Soltan Sun Ready resources to other teachers. The site is very simple to use, it’s a good starting point for the teachers and the children love it because the resources are very colourful and fun, as well as being informative.


title: Milos kitchen chicken jerky chicken grillers dog treats recall

text:
January 9, 2013 – Milo’s Kitchen today announced it is voluntarily recalling its Chicken Jerky and Chicken Grillers home-style dog treats from retailer shelves nationally.
No other Milo’s Kitchen products are affected.
On Monday, New York State’s Department of Agriculture informed the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the company that trace amounts of residual antibiotics had been found in several lots of Milo’s Kitchen Chicken Jerky.
After consultation with the New York Department of Agriculture and the FDA, the company decided to voluntarily recall Milo’s Kitchen Chicken Jerky and Chicken Grillers, which are both sourced from the same chicken suppliers.
The use of antibiotics to keep chickens healthy and disease-free while raising them is standard practice in poultry production for both human and pet food.
However, the antibiotics found in the products were unapproved and should not be present in the final food product.
Milo’s Kitchen has a comprehensive safety testing program in place for its products from procurement through manufacturing and distribution.
Part of that program involves extensive testing for a wide range of substances commonly used to ensure the health of chickens.
However, Milo’s Kitchen did not test for all of the specific antibiotics found by the New York Department of Agriculture.
January 15, 2013 – The US FDA has now confirmed this recall in a bulletin broadcast today.
What to Do
The company states:
“Consumers who discard the treats will receive a full refund. We are committed to Milo’s Kitchen and stand by our guarantee of complete consumer satisfaction.”
Consumers with questions about Milo’s Kitchen products can get further information by calling 877-228-6493.
You can report complaints about FDA-regulated pet food products by calling the consumer complaint coordinator in your area.
