5 Rules for Snacking Before Dinner
Tips from The Kitchn
I try hard to get three square meals into my toddler every day, but sometimes I'm guilty of not doing the same for myself. So when 5 o'clock hits, my stomach starts growling and I need something to tide me over until dinner time.
I've often made the mistake of grabbing a bag of chips, and before I know it, half the bag is gone and I'm not hungry for dinner anymore. Here are some rules I've set to keep myself in check if I decide to snack before dinner!
It's Snack Week at The Kitchn!
Snack Week 2015
It's the fourth week of May, which means just one thing: It's Snack Week at The Kitchn! We've covered the basics the last few weeks: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But now it's time for all those other little meals — the ones that get you through your morning workout or the afternoon office slump. We'll share a few new vegan snack recipes, and take a look at the very civilized Swedish style of snack — fika. And do tell us: Is there something you'd like to see covered during Snack Week?
Recipe: Breakfast Banana Split with Yogurt and Jam
Breakfast Recipes from The Kitchn
A banana split for breakfast? Oh, yes! This quick, easy breakfast takes a dessert classic and lightens it up for the morning with ultra-creamy Greek yogurt and a warm drizzle of jam.
Recipe: Poached Rhubarb Royale
Recipes from The Kitchn
As rhubarb makes its sweet, tart, hot pink, and sassy way into our farmers market baskets, here's one easy recipe to transform the odd vegetable into a silky compote. I dare you not to put a blob of this delightful mess all over everything! My mouth is still puckered from eating so much of this glorious dish.
How To Make Fruit Slushies
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
News flash, everybody: Summer is hot. I always seem to forget how hot it gets here in California, until it happens. The temperature starts to creep into the high 90s and I start to panic. It's that how many layers of clothes can I remove in this social situation and still remain decent? sort of panic.
I've come up with a solution to cool things down: How about we make some slushies? They're easy to whip up in a blender, made with real fruit, and best of all, ice cold.
Recipe: Yogurt Breakfast Popsicles
Breakfast Recipes from The Kitchn
Your eyes do not deceive you. This is breakfast that you can eat one-handed while walking to the bus stop, and it's got just as much going for it a bowl of yogurt with granola and fruit. In fact, it is a bowl of yogurt — just in frozen, easily-grabbable popsicle form. Time to dig out those popsicle molds!
Recipe: Watermelon Popsicles
Recipes from The Kitchn
What I love about summer is the fruit. There are peaches and plums for pies, nectarines for dribbling down your chin, apricots for tarts, cherries for snacks, and all sorts of berries for breakfast — plus other melons, like cantaloupe and honeydew, to wrap ham around. But what other fruit offers a crunchy snack, a juice for drinking (with or without a boozy booster), seeds for spitting contests, and a big round shape for greasing and throwing around the pool, lake, or ocean (have you played greased pig yet this summer)?
It's the watermelon. When it's good, it's really good, and needs little else to completely satisfy a craving for a cool, sweet treat.
Recipe: Birthday Cake Popcorn
Snack Recipes from The Kitchn
Every day is someone's birthday, so celebrate accordingly with this festive sweet treat. It's easily concocted on a whim from ingredients found in most convenience stores, but also feel free to mix it up by using other kinds of chocolate candy bars or even flavored pre-packaged popcorn. The possibilities are endless! Just make sure you have some sprinkles on hand in order to up the fun factor.

Spock comes out of the closet
Zachary Quinto, inheritor of the iconic Mr. Spock role in JJ Abrams' "Star Trek" reboot and the star of the upcoming film "Margin Call," reveals that he is gay in a new profile in New York Magazine. The star, 34, credits his role in the Broadway play "Angels In America," in which he plays a gay man who leaves his AIDS-afflicted boyfriend, for helping to put him further in touch with the hopes felt and struggles faced by both gay and straight Americans, and discusses his political outlook for the rights movement.
Living in New York during the play's run, Quinto says the experience was both challenging and rewarding, and gave him a fresh perspective on the work that needs to be done in the fight for equality. On one hand, New York State legalized gay marriage; on the other, a gay teen committed suicide earlier this year because of unending bullying.
"As a gay man I look at that and say theres a hopelessness that surrounds it," he says, "but as a human being I look at it and say Why? Wheres this disparity coming from, and why cant we as a culture and society dig deeper to examine that? Were terrified of facing ourselves.
Quinto has long been an advocate for gay rights -- he performed in a 2009 staging of "The Laramie Project: 10 Years Later" and appeared at a banquet for the cause that same weekend, and put out an "It Gets Better" video the next year. That often fed into speculation over his sexuality, as did the fact that he's played a number of gay roles, and is doing so again in his latest television show, "American Horror Story."
In an interview with the New York Times last year, he said he preferred discussion about his advocacy over personal matters.
The fact that these things are such hot-button issues right now, socially and politically, I would much rather talk about that than talk about who I sleep with, Quinto said. I would love to be a voice in this maelstrom of chaos and obsessive celebrity infatuation that says, Lets talk about something that matters.
As Spock, he had a blossoming romance with Zoë Saldana's Uhra; he just appeared this fall as the ex-boyfriend of Anna Faris in "What's Your Number.

Batumi State Maritime Academy (BSMA) and Transas Marine Black Sea today signed a contract for supply and installation of the Transas Full Mission Offshore simulator. The simulator complex will be one of the most advanced in the Black Sea region.
The full mission Transas offshore simulator with 270 degrees visualisation is based on the Transas NTPRO 5000 software and will be used for training in dynamic positioning operations. The simulator will enable training of crews involved in transfer and supply of mobile offshore units. Training course will be accredited by the Nautical Institute.
Specially for the project, Transas will develop simulator areas for three ports of Georgia: Batumi, Poti and Kulevi. In addition, the simulator will use the next generation universal hardware solutions. Use of the touch screen technology together with the dedicated hardware, makes it possible to use virtually any controls on the bridge without compromising training realism.
The new Transas offshore simulator is an extenstion to the installed simulator compex in the Batumi State Maritime Academy; it will also get additional functionality to train crews in ice navigation operations.
The BSMA Vice-chancellor Irakly Sharabidze commented: "In few months we will have one of the most advanced dynamic positioning simulators which will contribute to the education of specialist in the offshore operations. Until now, in the Black Sea region this type of simulator was only available in Ukraine and Romania."
Igor Gorobets, Director of the Transas Marine Black Sea said after the contract signing: "I'm very glad that Transas continues its cooperation with the Batumi State Maritime Academy. Combining the classical school of seafarers training in Georgia with the modern Transas simulation technologies, the Academy will provide training in accordance with the latest international standards and meet the
highest demands for crew qualifications in the marine industry."
Batumi State Maritime Academy is a government accredited state maritime academy. Specializing in higher education, the institution's main function is to educate qualified staff for employment within the commercial fleet and maritime transport infrastructure. Batumi State Maritime Academy provides an educational process that is in accordance with the Georgian legislation as well as international conventions.

The film opens with Bae Sumi (Im Sujeong), a girl who is being treated in a psychiatric institution. Some time after, she returns home, accompanied by her father Muhyeon (Gim Gapsu) and her younger sister Suyeon (Mun Geunyeong). There, the girls encounter their new stepmother, Heo Eunju (Yeom Jeong-a), who tries to be nice to them in front of their father, but quickly loses patience with the girls, who don't like her either. However, all the women of the household begin encountering some spooky occurrences as the tension between the increasingly unhinged Sumi and Eunju begins to boil.
There is a lot at play in A Tale of Two Sisters, but the wonderful thing about the film is that it's almost two movies at once. Yes, there is a supernatural horror element as we see some pretty creepy images alongside the household's women, but the psychological horror, especially the things that are hinted at but never fully revealed, like the matter of Suyeon's closet and the reason for the grudge between Sumi and Eunju, are the elements that truly drive the tension. What's more, the first time you watch this film will be vastly different than future times because of its twist, which completely reframes the movie. What's more, there is a lot of depth to the twist, deeply embedded in Sumi's character and hinted at by the veiled references to the traumatic past event which the psychiatrist (I Daeyeon) mentions at the start of the film. And then, the ripple of the film's ultimate themes echo throughout the whole film and make quite an impact by the time the credits role, the double revelation at the end excellently providing an understanding of why the women of the household are acting the way that they are.
On top of all that, the densely colored production design heightens all of the tension, with its darkly colored house, its deep reds, greens and blues in the main areas of the house and contrasted with lighter colors in the girls' respective rooms. The ornate wallpapering and thoughtful attention to wardrobe also all adds to the overall access to the character's mindsets and the sense of history in the richly designed house. Director Gim and his cinematographer I Mogae work the production design well, lighting the house with incandescent and shooting it exquisitely, giving every frame the kind of richness built into the production and Gim doesn't use much flashy direction or editing, so when it appears, it means something.
The sound design is perfect, yes there are some jump scares and Psycho inspired slashing strings, but the soundtrack is often sparse and uses the rear fields well, giving the film greater dimensionality. What's more, I Byeong-u simple but haunting score, with its piano and guitar, is not only memorable in itself, but captures a sense of wistful memory and regret that perfectly resonates with some of the themes in A Tale of Two Sisters.
Finally, all the performers are excellent here, with Yeom Jeong-a especially creating a sense of unease with her increasingly unhinged Eunju--the back-and-forth between moments of mania and darkness, especially how she hides menace behind her smiles, makes this a highly frightening performance and quite possibly one of the best evil stepmothers committed to screen. The girls really capture a sense of sisterhood between them, especially in their quiet moments together and Im Sujeong definitely captures adolescent rebellion well, which Mun's often huge eyed looks relays great fear without words. Even the Gim Gapsu manages an impressive amount of exasperation in his character and while he seems aloof in the first viewing, later viewings actually reveal more depth to even his character.
And all this put together makes A Tale of Two Sisters one of the finest horror films that I have ever seen. Everything works together in this film, from the story to the direction, to the cinematography, the production design, the wardrobe, the performances, and even the soundtrack and score, to create a double-film that is not just captures a genuine sense of horror on both the surface spooky ghost level, but on the psychological level as well and furthermore manages to be about guilt, mental illness, and a desire to fix the past in the present that makes the story compelling. And for that, I think A Tale of Two Sisters is also still my favorite film by director Gim Jiun. It is not to be missed for those that like horror films as well as psychological dramas. A film that only seems to gain more of my respect each time I watch it. Highly recommended. Except for people that can't take the horror of course. 10/10

Eugene Laverty Visits The Yamaha World Superbike Workshop In Italy

Eugene Laverty.
2011 Yamaha World Superbike Team rider Eugene Laverty today visited the team's workshops at Germo di Lesmo in Italy. Having completed his first test on the bike following the final round of the 2010 championship at Magny Cours, Laverty had the opportunity to see firsthand the mechanics in the workshops making the adjustments of the bike from the data gained at his first test and get a first impression of the 2011 YZF-R1 racebike he will ride to challenge for the title next year. There was also a chance to meet some of the team members not usually present at the race weekends and get a deeper insight into the team's base.
The team's workshops are just a stone's throw from the Monza circuit and sit next to the Yamaha factory MotoGP team's workshop. Frankie Carchedi, Laverty's crew chief for the 2011 season was also present, both enjoying the chance to discuss changes to the bike's settings in advance of their one day test in Valencia next week and following test at the Phillip Island circuit in Australia at the end of the month. Laverty joins the team for the next year having completed two successful years in World Supersport, taking second in the championship after taking the fight to the last race in both seasons.
"It was nice to spend the day at the workshop and meet the guys who don't always come to the race track," said Eugene Laverty. "We also studied some data with Frankie from the first test in Magny Cours and looked at where we can improve. It gave me some good information for me to understand what I need to do differently and work on at the next test. It has all been really positive and a great opportunity to do it away from the race track with no pressure. The workshops were really impressive and I got to see everything, you can it's very well organised. I'm really looking to getting on the 2011 racebike for the first time next week at Valencia and then Phillip Island at the end of the month to get cracking again!"

Cocopah Police Chief Not Charged for Losing His Gun, Which Was Allegedly Found by a Child
A Yuma man found Cocopah Police Chief James Spurgeon's gun last month -- because the man's 6-year-old son was pointing it right at him -- but the police chief won't be charged.
The Yuma Police Department had investigated the incident, as a police spokesman said Spurgeon left it at an acquaintance's apartment in the city.

-Cocopah Police Chief's Gun Found by Man Whose 6-Year-Old Son Was Pointing It at Him
The Yuma Sun reports that the case was transferred over to the Maricopa County Attorney's Office for review, and "the case was dismissed because prosecutors felt there was no reasonable likelihood of a conviction."
Police say Spurgeon accidentally left his gun behind after visiting this acquiaintance on Saturday, and the next morning, the 6-year-old boy pointed his new gun at dad.
The man was able to disarm his boy without incident, and the youngster told his father that he just found it on the floor.
Yuma police said it appeared that Spurgeon endangered the two adults and two children who lived in that apartment, but apparently not, according to the MCAO.
The Cocopah Indian Tribe issued a statement at the time saying it's "definitely out of character" for Spurgeon -- a cop for almost 30 years -- to do something like this. Spurgeon's still on leave.

Williams pace rings alarm bells at Mercedes
Sutton Images Enlarge Williams' performance at the Austrian Grand Prix has acted as wake-up call for Mercedes, according to chairman Niki Lauda. After mistakes by the Mercedes drivers in qualifying, Williams locked out the front row of the grid in Austria and took the fight to Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton in the race. Valtteri Bottas finished six seconds shy of Hamilton in second and Lauda said that was enough to worry his team. "The alarm bell is ringing that the competition is coming closer," he said. "If the alarm bell rings in time then you can do something, but if you sit back, which we won't try to do, you miss out. What we are going to do is keep developing the...

A West Coast woman is devastated her neighbour has perished despite her desperate efforts to fight a huge shed fire with a garden hose near Hokitika early this morning.
Volunteer fire fighters discovered a body after the 4.20am fire in a shed at the rear of the Kaniere home, about 2km inland from Hokitika.
The neighbour, who declined to be named, said she woke to hear loud cracking noises and was about to look outside when her distraught neighbour knocked on her window.
She begged for help, saying she feared her partner, a man in his mid-20s and the father of their two young daughters, was trapped in the blazing shed.
"I jumped the fence with the hose but it was too big for that... The flames were huge.
"It went up so quick," the neighbour said.
"I yelled and yelled for him but I couldn't go in it.
"I feel devastated. You do what you have to do and then it hits you. I'm really sorry for them. It's unbelievable.''
She said the man had been out with a friend last night and initially, his partner thought both could have been trapped in the shed or had gone to the other man's home.
"We didn't know if he was in there or not. We were really hoping he wasn't."
After the fire fighters arrived, the neighbour said she went around to the friend's house nearby to check where they were.
The friend was safe at home but confirmed the neighbour was in the shed.
"I was hoping when I was going around there (my neighbour) was at his place.''
The Fire Service's West Coast area commander, Mark Boere, said it was the first fatal fire on the West Coast in at least five years, since he had been in the position.
Fire investigators would check the scene for the fire's cause and origin.
West Coast police confirmed one person died in the fire and were investigating.
The body was yet to be recovered by mid-morning and formally identified.
"At this stage no further information on the cause of the fire or the name of the deceased is available."

You seem to be using it as a term that is synonymous with religion (I.e with spiritual overtones), whereas I am using it in a much broader context. This is not to say one of us is correct and the other wrong, but it does make it a bit difficult to have a conversation. When I use the word believe I mean to say that everybody has beliefs, even if they are not religious ones. For instance I believe in the colour orange with minimal evidence, basically my own subjective perception of the colour and anecdotes of other people's experiences with it. Now I BELIEVE that is sufficient evidence to support my claim that orange exists, yet I can not see the world through anybody elses eyes to verify my own observations. Therefore I believe in the colour orange without being able to prove that it exists. How would I prove it's existence to somebody who is colour-blind? Perhaps the colour-blind individual is correct and my perception is flawed. No matter what line of reasoning you excersise you will eventually reach a point where you must accept your evidence on faith. To return to the original question, I believe ( ;) ) that the definition I provided earlier is important to the advancement of humanity because I think we need to do away with "religion" (by my definition) but that spirituality is an important aspect of the human condition. If we did away with every spiritual belief system we would still be subjected to the damaging effects of people elevating politicians, or offices or countries above the interests of their fellow human beings. This is the behavior of "religion" by my new definition and as you can see that is the destructive aspect of the phenomenon, not necessarily the spiritual side of things. I hold one thing sacred: our duty to our fellow humans, from the past through the present and for those yet to come. That is the step that we collectively must take.
that each person has accepted the others belief system (belief in reason or feeling) BEFORE accepting the arguments as to WHY they should accept those beliefs. It hardly seems necessary to point out the folly of giving a rational argument supporting reason to somebody who has yet to accept reason as valid. It is because each individual already has a set of beliefs, implanted and shaped by forces beyond our conscious control, and we go through life finding support for those beliefs. If your belief system is one of logic and reason and you are raised in a religious setting then chances are that you will be unhappy with the church and stray into science, and vice-versa. Anybody who thinks that we choose what to believe, I propose you try this experiment: if you currently do not believe in god, stop. Believe in Him, now for about one minute. Are you capable of changing your belief? This is not to say our beliefs do not change, merely that we cannot consciously control how, when or what. Anyway to return to my original definition, we've all seen people frothing at the mouth over politics, religion, Mac vs. PC, science and atheism as well as countless others. If one takes a step back and looks at the whole picture, is the behavior of these individuals that different? Every one of those groups contain extremists, moderates and fair-weather folk, every group believes it is ultimately advancing a cause, every group sees itself as necessary and right and just. Would alien visitors find people arguing over books to be more important than those arguing soft drinks? Would God?
Good day all, I haven't had a chance to read through all the comments yet, though they are quite enjoyable, I just wanted to get this idea out there before I hit the hay: "religion" is the behavior all humans exhibit towards institutions, which themselves are physical manifestations of intangible cultural values. I understand that this definition is very broad, covering everything from Christ vs. Buddah (quite possibly the least exciting Celebrity Death Match ever) to Coke vs. Pepsi (is it legal to have them under one roof? Are they like two subcritical masses of uranium, perpetually isolated from each other to prevent meltdown?) sorry I digress: I blame the hour. I shall attempt to explain my reasoing concisly: everybody everywhere accepts everything on faith. Not only this but we as conscious beings are unable to alter these beliefs directly. The standard comparison is between "science" and "religion" (for now let's just assume we mean the religions of Abraham) so let us begin there. To start with both religion and science have their dogmas. In a religion their dogma is easy to spot because it comes at the end (x = god, x + y = god, xy^2 = god) so basically any formula that does not reach the conclusion of god is thrown out, dismissed as "not a string producible within our theorem. The dogma of science is a bit trickier to spot (and much harder to think of an algebraic metaphor for) but basically it is the scientific process itself. Any conclusion that cannot be reached via the METHOD is deemed invalid. Now we get to the tricky part of belief. A person of the scientific world view believes in reason, logic and repeatable results. A person with a more religious persuasion may believe in their feelings "what the heart tells them". The first person will make all sorts of logical rational answers as to why logic and reason are better, while the religious individual will try to express their emotional experiences. This leads to a situation where it is necessary (con't)

SEOUL, South Korea, March 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
World-markets.biz (WMKTS) recently won support from the Seoul Metropolitan Government (SMG) through the Seoul Business Agency (SBA). The support comes in the form of office space which was allocated at the Yeouido Global Business Center (YGBC) in the One IFC Tower in Yeouido, Seoul. Along with physical office space there are numerous opportunities for 1-1 business consulting and a variety of business related workshops so that foreign companies can assimilate to the Korean market and its tax and legislation more seamlessly. The incubation office program is gaining popularity and it really shows how serious the Seoul metropolitan Government is about increasing foreign business presence in Seoul.
Yeouido is globally known as Seoul's main business and investment banking district and the IFC Mall and three associated IFC Towers make up the International Finance Center (IFC) complex. WMKTS believes that the opportunity to be located in Yeouido is a positive step in their plan to develop their services in Korea and the wider continent of Asia.
WMKTS will now move into the next phase of its 2014 strategic plan and begin creating partnerships with SME agencies throughout Korea. The goal of these partnerships is to support Korean SME's to highlight their products and services globally. The knock on effect and benefit for Korea as a whole is of course the increased global recognition of the quality and innovation of Korean manufactured products and the professionalism of services offered by Korean companies.
Step aside big boys Samsung, LG, Hyundai and Daewoo, the Korean SME's are going global. WMKTS will make sure of it. In fact, Korean SMEs play a pivotal role in the national economy, accounting for 99.9% of all enterprises (3 million SMEs), 87.7% of all employees (10.8 million employees), and 47.6% of production. These are truly staggering statistics from the Small & Medium Business Corporation (SBC).
An SME in any economy inherently struggles against the established larger companies. The situation is the same for Korean SME's. An SME budget, if any, for marketing is very limited and that is where WMKTS can offer very fast, effective and inexpensive online marketing for Korean SME's.
Basically, WMKTS gets a company organically listed on Google Page 1 using its cutting edge unique non-invasive SEO technology. This is done with very general long tail search terms through a hosted micro-page and a series of latest news article postings. Getting on Google Page 1 is the ultimate location for any company. Getting there by using your company name is easy. But the recent "Hummingbird" research and update by Google showed that internet users search in long statements or full questions on what they are looking for. The content of the search term is the service or product they want to know about or purchase. These focused content search terms are what WMKTS SEO onto the micro-pages and news articles. Therefore, subscribing to WMKTS and creating long tail search terms related to your products and services is very effective for being found. WMKTS will help Korean SME's get noticed globally online.

Mainzeal's liquidators have warned they will take action if they find complex company restructuring by a former parent company left Mainzeal and related companies out of pocket.
RGREL, or Richina Global Real Estate, was put into liquidation in February, after the High Court found RGREL was unable to pay its debts.
In its first creditor report for RGREL, its liquidators BDO said that despite its requests, it had not been given and not been able to find detailed financial records of RGREL, ''including the accounting ledger which we understand is located in China''.
''As such we have been unable to verify the accuracy of the Statement of Affairs.''
BDO is also the liquidator of Mainzeal Property and Construction (MPCL), which collapsed in February last year, owing unsecured creditors more than $138m, and 12 other related companies.
RGREL and Mainzeal Group's sole director Richard Yan is appealing RGREL's liquidation.
BDO said the recovery of RGREL's assets were uncertain at this stage.
''We understand that there were three group restructures that occurred on or about 31 July 2012 and two at 31 December 2012 (involving 18 related entities) which impacted on the value and terms of intercompany and related party receivables and payables.''
There was a high level of intercompany and related party transactions between RGREL, Mainzeal Property and others within the Mainzeal/Richina group, it said.
In one company restructure shortly before Mainzeal collapsed, RGREL transferred to MGL a debt it owed to Mainzeal Property of $15.2m, in exchange for the construction company's shares, at a price of $17.6m.
''As the transaction occurred only five weeks prior to MPCL being put into receivership, we consider those shares were worthless at the time of this restructure,'' BDO said.
A related party payable to Richina Pacific (China) Investment totalling $38m to RGREL was waived, and the terms of the remaining receivables were altered in some cases.
The liquidators said they were continuing to investigate the validity of these restructures ''and will take further action if we consider it to be appropriate''.
