If you read my blog at all, you may have noticed that I am obsessed with fermentation and the gut (the gut loves fermented food). Well, your gut gives you another reason to eat more vegetables. In their fantastic book The Good Gut, Stanford microbiologists Justin and Erica Sonnenburg explain that certain microbes in your gut convert L-carnitine—found in red meat—into trimethylamine (TMI), which when oxidized becomes trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO). “High levels of TMAO increase the risk of strokes, heart attacks, and other cardiac events.” People who eat a plant-based diet harbor fewer of these TMAO-producing microbes. |
Those appliances you never use take up valuable real estate on your kitchen counter and cupboards. Give them to a friend who will actually use them or donate them to a thrift shop. Do you really need a mango slicer, bagel guillotine or Keurig? How about a microwave? Its usefulness-to-size ratio is about 1:20 for most people. Clear the clutter, you’ll free up space and make your kitchen more efficient and more pleasant to work in. |
And, judging from my best Instagram pics of 2016, people like how food looks in jars. WARNING: If you go plastic-free and zero-waste, you may develop a jar obsession. |
Even a little bit of meal planning will reduce food waste, save money, save time, reduce stress, improve your diet and probably improve the taste of your food (because you’ll plan for tasty stuff rather than just grabbing the first thing you find in the cupboard). I start meal planning by going through my fridge and pantry and making meals out of what I find there first. Here’s a link to a downloadable and fillable meal planner I created. |
It wouldn’t be a list of new year’s resolution without something about diet in it. Cut processed food and you can skip the other five resolutions. You’ll eat better, cut down on plastic packaging and be healthier. |
Can you really get a mango slicer? I obviously need to get out more, maybe I could use a bagel guillotine too. Don’t think so! |
My older daughter used to have a mango slicer and a couple of days before I wrote this post, my younger daughter spied a bagel slicer at the thrift shop. She asked for it (I think just to see my reaction) but I said no way (I’m mean…). |
Hey there – I love love love this post. I read your blog constantly and I linked this post in my own blog post at http://www.savingsarahgrace.wordpress.com on liberating and ecofriendly resolutions for the new year. Thank you so much for all your inspiration! |
Thanks so much for linking to the post and for reading my blog 🙂 Happy new year! |
Those bagel slicers are complete crap too. We used to have them at work and they would just mangle the bagel! |
They look like they would break easily whereas I’m pretty sure I will pass down my knives to my kids (including a bread knife that cuts bagels really well!). |
Carmen up to Data is a musical burlesque with a score written by Meyer Lutz. The piece was a spoof of Bizet's 1875 opera Carmen. The libretto was written by G. R. Sims and Henry Pettitt. |
After a tryout in Liverpool in September 1890, the piece premiered at the Gaiety Theatre, London, on 4 October 1890, produced by George Edwardes. It starred Florence St. John in the title role, Letty Lind as Mercedes, Jenny Dawson as Escamillo, Maria Jones as Michaela, Blanche Massey as Morales, Horace Mills as Remendado, E. J. Lonnen as José and Arthur Williams as Captain Zuniga. |
The piece was a success and toured throughout the English-speaking world, reaching Australia by 1892. |
Bizet's Carmen had first been produced in English in London in 1878 at Her Majesty's Theatre, starring Selina Dolaro and Durward Lely. An earlier burlesque of Carmen, called Carmen: or, Sold for a Song, by Robert Reece, had also been produced at the Folly Theatre in 1879, and several other burlesques followed. Burlesque of opera or classical works was popular in Britain from the 1860s to the 1880s. Other examples at the Gaiety include The Bohemian G-yurl and the Unapproachable Pole (1877), Blue Beard (1882), Ariel (1883, by F. C. Burnand), Galatea, or Pygmalion Reversed (1883), Little Jack Sheppard (1885), Monte Cristo Jr. (1886), Miss Esmeralda (1887), Frankenstein, or The Vampire's Victim (1887), Mazeppa, Faust up to Date (1888), Ruy Blas and the Blasé Roué (1888), Cinder Ellen up too Late (1891), and Don Juan (1892, with lyrics by Adrian Ross). The piece was produced two years after the theatre's Faust up to Date. In the December 1890 issue of Punch magazine, the reviewer wrote, "In calling their burlesque Carmen up to Data possibly the two dear clever boys who wrote it intended some crypto-jocosity of which the hidden meaning is known only to the initiated in these sublime mysteries. Why 'Data'? On the other hand, 'Why not?' However attractive or not as a heading in a bill of the play, the Gaiety Carmen is, on the whole, a merry, bright, and light burlesque-ish piece." |
John Hollingshead managed the Gaiety Theatre from 1868 to 1886 as a venue for variety, continental operetta, light comedy, and numerous musical burlesques composed or arranged by the theatre's music director, Wilhelm Meyer Lutz. Hollingshead called himself a "licensed dealer in legs, short skirts, French adaptations, Shakespeare, taste and musical glasses." In 1886, Hollingshead ceded the management of the theatre to George Edwardes, whom he had hired in 1885. Edwardes expanded the burlesque format from one act to full-length pieces with original music by Lutz, instead of scores compiled from popular tunes, and choreography by the theatre's dance-master, John D'Auban. Nellie Farren, as the theatre's "principal boy," and Fred Leslie starred at the Gaiety for over 20 years. Leslie wrote many of its pieces under his pseudonym, "A. C. Torr". In the early 1890s, as Burlesque went out of fashion, Edwardes changed the focus of the theatre from musical burlesque to the new genre of Edwardian musical comedy. |

5 years and the Night to Remember continues to grow! This year, over 100 people came to Costa Azzurra in Milford for a great night of food, friends, and festivities. There were many great parts of the night, but without doubt, the highlight of the evening was our guest speaker, Christopher Lukas. A high school freshman, a very nice young man, and an HLHS success story, Christopher shared his memories of hospital stays alongside expressions of the normalcy of his current life. His passion for life was unquestionable. His appreciation for what Kisses from Katie does was obvious…and humbling. After a few minutes of honest and authentic reflections, Christopher was met by a heartfelt standing ovation from an appreciative audience. |
Not only did the evening mark the 5th Night to Remember, it also marked the 5th anniversary of Katie’s passing. For the 4 previous Night to Remember events we made it very clear that our events and our organization were not about Katie. She was the genesis and the inspiration, but all of the children in need were our ongoing motivation. This year, we modestly redacted this statement and shared a slide show of Katie’s life, reconnecting the audience with the passion that drives KfK. When Vickie added stories of the youngsters we’ve helped this year, the connection between the inspiration and the ongoing motivation was clear. Then, we all agreed to celebrate life- and we did just that! |
The evening was a resounding success. Happy attendees left with great prizes, and our organization raised more than it has raised at any Night to Remember, making over $14,000. Thank you all yet again for your support! We appreciate it, and we know the patients and families that we support certainly appreciate it. |

“Lights out” cutting enables you to process your parts at all hours of the day, even during unmanned evening shifts. |
A metal fabricating facility during the day is a noisy, bustling place. Lift trucks are zooming by, and CNC machines are cutting away. Production runs at full speed. But typically, in the evening, the machines are shut down and all grows quiet until the next morning. The machines could run longer hours, but the cost of keeping the facility staffed for a full late-night shift is not justified in today’s uncertain economy. |
So how can a metal fabricator ensure that overhead costs stay low while production capacity keeps up with the order book? The answer is “lights out” manufacturing. In this scenario, a manufacturing facility relies on material-handling automation to move blanks of sheet metal or plate onto the cutting bed of a CNC machine, usually a laser cutting machine, and to remove the skeleton and cut parts after the cutting is done. The entire process repeats itself once the previous job has been removed from the bed. |
In the most advanced lights-out manufacturing environments, a flexible manufacturing system (FMS) comprises a single or a group of CNC machines, a storage tower for raw material inventory, and a line controller to coordinate the delivery of the blanks, the cutting job, and removal of the parts. The FMS approach also usually entails more advanced part-sorting options, instead of simply dropping cut parts in one single area. |
On the other end of the spectrum is the use of a loader/unloader. This is typically used for a single machine on which the automation simply loads one sheet after another. This arrangement requires that the blank be stacked on the loader in the order it will be needed. |
Of course, nothing is totally infallible. Even for those companies with the most advanced lights out operations, the emergency phone call in the middle of the night to an equipment operator sometimes happens. A part might tip up and collide with the laser cutting head, or material inconsistencies may cause a cutting problem. |
Advanced nesting systems can help prevent those scenarios and eliminate the late-night phone calls. Software features are designed to take steps to ensure potential collisions are avoided. Setting up a repeatable and consistent process is key. If done correctly, the manufacturer can schedule the work in advance and run the cutting machine over an entire shift—and even over an entire weekend with the right combination of FMS and nesting software capabilities. |
The best way to avoid a collision is to avoid the situation that leads to a collision. Advanced nesting software identifies a cutting job’s characteristics that may lead to a tip-up and takes steps to avoid potential problem areas. |
For example, for cutting contours, the nesting software determines the optimal leadin and leadout point for the cutting head, so it will be clear when the final cut is made on the part, steering clear of any potential tip-ups. The attempt to optimize the cutting flow also ensures the parts are cut quickly, keeping the head down and cutting as much as possible. |
In general, nesting software attempts to keep the cutting head away from previously cut areas to avoid opportunities for tip-ups. In the event an optimized cutting path calls for a torch head to move over a cut area, instructions tell the head to retract sufficiently so that it can travel safely over the cut part. |
Advanced software packages actually create a designated “halo” around cut parts, so that that cutting head steers clear of the area around the part as well. Some software packages allow machine operators to create their own fixed value for the halo manually. For instance, a CNC cutting machine with a contact head might require a larger halo than one with a non-contact cutting head. |
This is probably the best way to avoid tip-ups: Keep the parts attached to the skeleton. Tabs help to do that. |
Used mostly for small parts that can tip up with the slightest encouragement, tabbing is done automatically in nesting programs, with a little input from the machine operator. The operator provides the tab and part parameters, then parts which fall within these parameters are automatically tabbed. |
Nesting programs also include manual overrides of dynamic nesting rules and predetermined operator parameters for problem parts, such as a long, thin part that risks falling into the slats after it has been cut. An operator can go into the software and dictate that tabs are placed on this particular part anytime it is cut. |
Nesting algorithms automate much of the decision-making related to collision avoidance and tabbing, but that’s not the end of how the software can help fabricators run lights out operations. Nesting software also can help sort parts. |
With most software packages, the person responsible for sorting parts from the skeleton can reference a visual image on the computer screen and use that to separate parts onto assigned pallets. The graphical layout of the sheet on the computer screen likely contains a part number, which can help differentiate between two similar-looking parts. |
Some advanced nesting software might have more than the simple part number to help with sorting efforts. A feature such as a color-coded graphic of the nest can simplify and speed up the offloading process. Each individual part is colored differently, making it easier to identify all of the parts, even those that might look the same. |
So not only can advanced nesting software keep the automated fabricating operations up and running, it also can help with the back-end part organization. The software is a valuable tool for those metal fabricators that find the only way they can be competitive is with their automation investment. |
Steady as She Goes? Is No Counterterrorism Effectively the Best Counterterrorism? |
The study dealt with the terrorist use of cash couriers. It examined the possibility of a strategic intelligence oversight by international efforts against financing of terrorism in the there was delayed and underestimated recognition of cash couriers in terrorist financing. Information was gathered from operational practitioners, from government, law enforcement and the private financial sector. The study gave an overview of cash couriers, then updated details of current deployment of cash couriers in their role(s) of terrorist financing. Operational examples were used in an examination of three regions specifically impacted by terrorist attacks. Conclusions were extrapolated with a simple overall conclusion drawn, and an overall recommendation submitted. |

Apple unveiled a new beta 9 update for its forthcoming operating system, iOS 11 on the same day it sent invitations for its upcoming event of the reveal of its flagship, iPhone 8. |
It is a great opportunity for developers as the update is available for all registered developers. If you are a developer and want to get and test the new update of iOS 11, just simply follow these instructions: Go to the Apple’s Develop Center > Settings > General > Software Update on your authorized iOS device. |
Unfortunately, for some crucial reasons, the Apple Beta Software Program does not allow common users to test the new beta 9 update of iOS 11. Although, the previous update was made available for public testers just after a day of its release, so those in the Apple Beta Software Program can expect the same or maybe not. |
As iOS 11 is concerned, it is the upcoming chief version of Apple’s operating system boasting many revamped features including a personalized Control Center, an app dock for the iPad, a Files app, Do Not Disturb While Driving (personally, my favorite feature), and there are several other robust peculiarities of the upcoming OS in the list. |
According to some rumors, the latest iOS version will likely release with the revealing of the flagship iPhone 8 at the press event on September 20th. |

Interesting the examples you indluce are the stunning backgrounds of what must be the R&S tour de force, Ren Gets Help. Let's go to the video tape ...After Stimpy's Emmy worthy performance in the opening scene (who the heck was his acting coach, my mother? Chills...), we witness Ren Hoek's slow drag/plodding towards HELP, and you can't help but notice these BGs. These are real paintings, not mere backgrounds; the indifferent cows with their oversized udders in the pasture by the fence, the twilight when Ren enters and scrapes into the dank city, and, as twilight becomes the black/blue night shadow of some dirty back street, and all these Fleischer Bros. inspired characters in the BG and the foreground in muted circus clown colours look at Ren - the expressions - are they disgusted by him, are they just avoiding him because he's a stranger, do they sense his sickness and or his own self repulsion? Has Ren transgressed cartoon character laws of nature? The paintings of these characters in the street scene is amazing, and sets them apart from Ren as distant and remote.And near the end of the episode when Ren has just beat the living daylights literally out of Dr.Mr.Horse and he's gone M A D , the horse corpse is nightmarish, ghoulish and horrrible - perfect! Something from the French revolution, the dark side of course.And this woman did not a get a single Annie for her work?Incredible! I am dumbfounded!! |
