The research activities that TÜV Rheinland is carrying out together with the University of Oldenburg and the Jülich Research Centre aim to answer the fundamental question regarding the extent to which climatic factors have an impact on the energy yield of thin-film modules.
The experts' tasks include constructing five test facilities, taking comparable measurements of the energy yield and developing models to forecast the energy yield, said TÜV Rheinland. The choice of project locations is based on TÜV Rheinland's global network of photovoltaic test laboratories, which cover a wide range of global climate classifications: Cologne in Germany with a moderate climate, Ancona in Italy with a Mediterranean climate, the US city of Tempe in the state of Arizona with a desert climate, Chennai in India with a tropical climate, and Yokohama in Japan with a subtropical climate.The special features of the various thin-film technologies are being analyzed with regard to the climate effects, seasonal effects, low-light behavior, temperature behavior and spectral behavior, said the institute. The strengths and weaknesses in comparison with crystalline module technologies are also being included in the analysis. The project will run until autumn 2016 and is being sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment. Climate data modeling constitutes another focal point of the project and is conducted on the basis of satellite data and terrestrial radiometer data. Monitoring activities at the locations provide comprehensive meteorological data material for this.
The researchers want to derive reference data sets for the different climatic regions in order to develop improved models for calculating the energy yield of thin-film solar modules. These models will draw on performance data measured in the laboratory but will also take the different climatic conditions into account. The research results will then be used to improve computer programs used to calculate and forecast energy yields and thereby minimize risks for the operation of photovoltaic systems from the perspective of investors and operators.
With the results of the measurements comparing their modules with other thin-film technologies and crystalline silicon modules, the manufacturers of thin-film modules will receive information regarding the technological improvement of the products. In addition, the research results will be integrated in national and international standardization activities to further develop existing measurement standards.

Diary Of A Mad Chaos
Phone Up A Few Job Interviews
I woke up today at 10:30 am, ate some food, then got dressed, and went down to the shops to do my phone calls.
I called up Soul Sense first. They told me that they got some stock in but they couldn't talk to me because they were busy. They should have my stuff but I'm getting it tomorrow.
I then rang up the job that I went for. I got the modem noise and wasted 40 cents.
I then rang a job I saw in the paper. It didn't turn out so good so I hung up on it because it wasn't what I was looking for.
I then went back home and listened to some music for a while. I ate for a while.
Meet Tatton
Then Tatton called me up.
He wanted me to meet him, so I started walking to meet him at Hurley Park.
On the way I saw Fridge – who used to be on our gridiron team. He gave me a bit of a lift.
I then met Tatton and we went to Campbelltown. At first he was going to buy an electrode thing that shocks your muscles to grow. I convinced him not to buy one.
We went to Bình's shop, bought some stuff, and talked to him for a bit.
Hanging Out At Pizza Hut
We then went to Pizza Hut and saw Rory down there and Wilma was in the car (The Lebanese one). We talked to them. Tatton was picking on Wilma that was in the front because she had a 40-page resume on her.
Keith came down a bit later. He and Tamsen watched the porn movie. I guess she's into that shit because they were talking about it freely. They want to borrow another one from me and that would be cool. He is going to see me later tonight, and so is Rory I guess.
I know where Berenice and Valerie now live. It is just up the road from Maura Kavanaugh house, around the roundabout and in that little parking bit just up.
Rory went for a run.
A Brawl On Queen Street
Me and Tatton went for a walk. I saw this guy that was gonna have a fight. So we sat on the chairs out the front of Level 18 and watched it.
At first one of the guys was backing off and they shook hands and shit. Then, baldy, the scared one kept going back making trouble. Then he struck for him.
A bit later he full on hit him in the face. I heard 2 bones crack, one when he was hit and the other when he hit the cement. He was bleeding bad.
Tatton was saying, "Should we go over and help?" But I held ground and had my glasses on so he couldn't see what I was doing. We watched. Then some people came over and asked me what was happening. I said, "I stabbed him and I'm waiting for the police." I told them I lied.
Then some other people I knew came over. I told them he slipped on a banana peel.
Rory Drops Us Off Home
We then went back to Pizza Hut.
We got a lift with Rory back home. He was taking Tatton home after that.
The Burnside House Break-And-Enter Plan
Tonight we are going to contemplate what's going to go on with the Burnside house. I'm going to see them at their new house. Then we are going to plan it for tomorrow.
Diary Of A Mad Chaos is a daily diary written from March 1996 until 2018, of which individual books and book series have been created, namely "The Lost Years" an exploration of young, entwined love, the "Wubao In China (猎艳奇缘)" book series which provides an extensive comparative analysis of the cultural differences between Eastern and Western societies, and the book titled "Foreigner (华人)" an exploration of race relations in Australia.

Palace should have heeded past lessons, but instead had a repeat of the Pardew era which saw the club fall down the table, says Naveed Khan.
It's half way through the 2015/16 season and Crystal Palace sat fifth in the Premier League. Under the guidance of a manager whose attacking approach saw the club pick up among the highest number of points in the Premier League during 2015, a frugal January transfer window saw only the addition of Emmanuel Adebayor and Alan Pardew went on to win just two of the next 19 league games. It went on to become part of a horrendous 2016 in which the manager picked up only 26 points from 36 games.
Cut to January 2020, Crystal Palace sit comfortably in the top half of the Premier League, following a 2019 which saw Palace pick up the seventh highest number of points in the Premier League, based on Roy Hodgson's structured, functional approach. The January transfer window has again been one of frustration – the loan signing of Cenk Tosun being the only addition despite the manager saying he wanted "four or five" signings.
Cup run aside, there are parallels to that season under Pardew. A manager unwilling to alter his tactical approach. A manager unwilling to drop certain players or give alternatives a fair run in the side. A board which did not build upon the early season success, instead allowing complacency to set in. The hope under Hodgson is that he will not let complacency to take hold in the way that Pardew did.
Apart from managerial ability, there are signs that Hodgson will approach it differently to Pardew. For one, the latter didn't seem to object to the lack of transfer activity. The former, on the other hand, has been vocal throughout the window – he has spoken of the number of players he wants to sign, he detailed positions, he called out Josh Harris and Dave Blitzer for not being on the same page as Steve Parish in regards to spending money in transfers. He also said he did not want the club to sign free transfers and loans. He was given a striker on loan.
Hodgson has previously demonstrated that he has the tactical acumen to arrest a slide down the league in a way Pardew was unable to. However, to a fan base growing in frustration as to the style of football being played, it is likely to be Hodgson doubling down and not wanting to lose rather than trying to win games on the front foot, the agitation will not subside. The paucity of chances created and a reluctance to make positive changes will likely continue while the manager looks to drag the squad to the 40-point mark.
READ MORE: January Transfer Window -- Right-Back Where We Started
The growing concern is that the club is sleep-walking into a relegation fight, completely unprepared for what lies ahead. Having 30 points on the board in January is impressive as a standard – but much less so when the gap to the bottom three is just six points. We are not looking at a season where 36 points will keep a team safe. It could well take more – we need three wins and the moment, the way the team is playing, those three wins may be some way off.
The transfer window was idle rather than ideal; compounded with the team's current form, it raises a lot of questions about the club which in turns creates greater worry. Is there money available for transfers? An instalment from the Aron Wan-Bissaka transfer to Manchester United was assigned to Macquarie Bank in late 2019 – was this done with the intention of spending on transfers or for a different reason?
If it was for transfers, why was activity left so late in the window when the need was apparent since August 2019? Are the players being sourced by the Sporting Director and his recruitment team of the right standard? Does the club have a transfer strategy? Is the manager aligned with these two?
The defeat to Sheffield United served to highlight deficiencies. Chris Wilder has a newly promoted side sitting in fifth place in the league. As the transfer window came to a close, they broke their transfer record to sign Sander Berge. Wilder then dropped arguably their best player this season, John Lundstram, to accommodate Berge. Their manager also changed the team's shape at 0-0 and made proactive substitutions as the second half went on. On and off the pitch, we could see Sheffield United having things we do not have.
Ultimately, the frustration from the January Transfer Window coupled with another inept home league performance have left a lot of unanswered questions around and blame is being thrown in different directions often on basis of preconception. As ever with these things, there is blame to be apportioned with all of the key decision makers within the club. And we are now missing the one thing that often helped cut through the tension – communication from the club.
There are so many unknowns at the moment which leads to a feeling of uncertainty. It leaves a sense of feeling that something needs to change. The club cannot let complacency blossom in this environment.

Slimming products that seem to work for all types of bodies are the slimming pills. These pills offer very fast and safe means of weight loss, they are easily accessible and do not come with extreme side effects. The best slimming pills around today offer much more than just weight loss, they improve the general well being of the body, and they help stabilize the normal functioning of the different body systems. Phen 375 and Proactol are perhaps some of the most rated slimming pills in the market today. If you wish to lose weight through the steady way, then you should consider weight loss teas such as Tava tea, and the Ultra lean green tea.
Checking out every detail about a slimming product perhaps is the best possible way of deciding whether it is ideal for you. Do not rely only on reviews, but make sure you visit the website of each of the available slimming product and read up the pros and cons of the products. For instance, top slimming pills like Proactol, Unique Hoodia, Pro shape and Hoodia plus all have their websites, you can visit these websites and have first-hand information on the ingredients used in making them as well as the real mechanisms behind their functions as weight loss products (remember weight loss pills act fast by suppressing the appetite of the user and burning fat, but many of them come with possible side effects).
Secondly, you need to have a medical report of your present health conditions before choosing a slimming product. There are some products that can react with some other medications and that can badly affect your health, check with your physician the ideal weight loss product that will not alter your medications (if you are undergoing any forms of treatment).
Most of the cheapest slimming products do not offer long term slimming effect on the body, likewise, the most expensive weight loss are not always the best, it is ideal that you go for a product that is not ridiculously cheap neither is it extravagantly expensive, The best slimming products are those that offer a money-back guaranty, products such as the Tava tea, Phen 375, Proactol and Hoodia offer such money-back guaranty and such products have been tested and trusted for several years.
Information is power, get as much information about weight loss and slimming products as possible to be able to choose the most suitable ones for your needs.

One thing I miss about the lower 48 is the fresh fruit! You buy it here from the store and it goes bad in a couple of days. BUT I do love going to the local farmers market and buying fresh produce. Have you been to one of the farmer markets? We have seven of them here in Anchorage. I was going to list all of Alaska markets here but someone beat me to it! Visit here for Alaska Farmers Markets.
I got some strawberries and let's just say they didn't last 5 mins in my house. They were so delicious!! Fresh is best! One thing about the markets is you HAVE to get there early if you want to grab the goods. I went around 2 and everything was gone! Strawberries are the only fruit that I have seen so far. Unfortunately up here in Alaska we don't get a wide variety of fruit, which is a TOTAL bummer! We eat fruit like it's going out of style in my household!
mouth watering pastries!!
It feels so good to me to buy local. I know where the food is coming from, helping out my community and keeping the money here in Alaska. The prices are great as well, but you can use WIC food stamps. Also eligible seniors qualify as well. Visit here to learn more.
I love going to the market with the kids. They help me pick out veggies and they are more inclined to try things. It's also nice just to go by myself. I like to think of how cool it would be if I had to go to the market daily to get all our meals and how fresh everything will be. Some days I would really like a slower paced life.
There are always unique things to try and see at the market. Where can you get a salmon burger and reindeer dog? Definitely not in Florida! I love Alaska! People like to bring their dogs or bike to the market. It is such a laid back community. You see people in their Carharts and North Face rain jackets. Comfy and ready for the environment, my kind of style! You can usually tell who the out of town folks are. =)
Be sure to visit one of your local markets. If you visit the websites below you can find recipes, how to process and store the produce and much more!
Alaska Farmers Market Association (visit here to find our local market)
South Anchorage Farmers Market (recipes, cookbook, schedule)
Pyrahs Pioneer Peak Farm (pick YOUR OWN veggies!)

We are using ArcGIS 10.0 and I am using Java ArcObjects to populate file geodatabase feature classes. My question deals with spatial indexes on those feature classes. Everything I come across indicates that ArcGIS will automatically add a spatial index to file geodatabase feature classes. We have several hundred feature classes and an INTERSECTS location search can take a bit of time. This is what prompted me to start to look into the index thing. When I look at the feature class properties for one of the feature classes (in ArcCatalog), I can see in the "Indexes" tab that there is a FDO_OBJECTID listed in the Attribute Indexes box and OBJECTID listed below it in the Fields box. I assume that the FDO_OBJECTID is referring to the feature's shape (geometry) since when I click the Add button (to add a different index), I see other column values likeour custom column attributes and the Shape_Length and Shape_Area, but no SHAPE column. If that is the case, then I guess the feature classes do have a spatial index set. When I look at the bottom of the Indexes tab, however, I can see that the 3 grids are all defined with 0.000000 and it has the text "This feature class has a spatial index that will be built later". This makes me think that it might have a spatial index but that it isn't fully functional. Based on that information, can someone tell me if my spatial indexes are indeed there and are workring properly as far as you can tell, or do I need to do the "recalculate" on these indexes to get the index(es) in optimal search form.
Thanks - Peter

Lipopolysaccharides are present in large amount in the intestinal loop. This is the area where the bacteria reside. LPS have a clinical role in the gut due to their inflammatory characteristics. The gut is prone to infections and inflammation. So, LPS have a part in these activities. The normal range of LPs is 0.2ng/ml. When there is inflammation the levels are increased drastically. A fine maintenance of LPS levels in the body is necessary. Eradicating floatingLPS from the gut have therapeutic effects on diseases like Crohn's disease. It is also an essential component of the bacterial cell wall. That is why it is present in large amounts in the gut along with bacterial flora.
Role in inflammatory diseases
The intestinal cells form a tight barrier, especially at the apices. They keep the inner luminal environment pure of the outer environment. These tight junctions do not allow any irrelevant molecule to enter the luminal side. LPS are present in abundance but they never cross the tight junctions. When a person suffers from diseases like Crohn's disease, there is a defect in the transport. The tight junctions do not remain functional. They become loose and allow the LPS and other molecules to enter the lumen. These molecules and organisms enter and cause infection. A person suffering from Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) has raised levels of LPS. The level rises up to 1-2 ng/ml. This is the primary indication of IBD or Crohn's disease. The levels of LPS are lowered in order to treat these diseases.
Component of the bacterial wall- Providing immunity
LPS molecules are an integral part of the bacterial cell wall. They have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic components. As they are the structural basis of bacteria they provide the innate immunity to the eukaryotes, especially humans in which they are residing. That is why it is significant to have a balanced level of LPS in the intestine.
How to improve LPS levels?
There are two prominent ways to improve LPS levels in intestine
- By taking natural diet
- By taking supplements
Diet containing lipopolysaccharide
Following eatables have good amounts of LPS
- Yogurt
- Milk
- Peanut
- Beef
- Meat
- Supplements
There are differently flavored packings available in markets which provide the equivalent protein value of LPS. If you are unable to take them in daily meals you can add to these supplements.
Effects of high levels of LPS
Following diseases and difficulties can occur when the levels of LPS are raised:
- Obesity: This can lead to insulin resistance and cardiovascular diseases.
- Arteriosclerosis: This can cause ischemia and stroke.
- IBD and Crohn's disease: This can cause malabsorption and diarrhea. If untreated this can be fatal.
- Necrosis: This can result in cellular damage and can cause polyps.
Overall, LPS have both beneficial as well as harmful effects. Its levels are to be maintained in the body. If they exceed or retreat it can cause problems. As they are an integral part of the cell membrane in bacteria, their adequate supply is necessary. Their increased levels are seen in inflammatory activities. Drugs are also given to remove LPS from the blood. This is helpful in the treatment of IBD especially. That is why normal levels should be maintained. This can be done by taking diet or equivalent supplements. LPS levels should be checked in routine checkups.

Waterbury Mayor Neil O'Leary has been re-elected as president of the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities for 2019.
O'Leary served as CCM president in 2018 and as a vice president in 2017.
The coming year "will represent another crucial crossroads in the relationship between Connecticut local governments and its state leaders, with Governor-elect Lamont and many new state legislators" said Joe DeLong, CCM Executive Director.
"CCM is very fortunate to have such an experienced mayor to lead our 168 member communities in 2019. He is well-respected on both sides of the political aisle at both the state and local levels and will play a key role in forging consensus on important state-local issues during the 2019 General Assembly session. We look forward to Mayor O'Leary again leading CCM as we work closely with Governor-elect Lamont and the General Assembly to enact the key state-local legislation needed for residents and business across Connecticut."
CCM is the state's largest, nonpartisan organization of municipal leaders, representing towns and cities of all sizes from all corners of the state, with 168 of Connecticut's 169 municipalities as members.

Thats why the saying tall fences make good neighbors came to be lol.
Bee Keeping here I come!
i REALLY need a little bee keeping advice so hopefully some of you can offer advice or information.
Today is the first day I look in my hives for about 2.5 weeks. And I clearly have SOME kind of problem. There seem to be a healthy number of bees in each hive and I see no signs of hive beetles or anything else unusual. But I have a quite a few frames in each hive that just aren't being used. Many of those just have a wax foundation sheet, and those have been in place since April. It's almost August, so if they are ever going to draw out and use those empty frames you would think it would be by now. The frames that are being used seem to have a decent amount of both brood and honey cells-much of the honey still being uncapped though. MOST of the empty frames are on the outside edges, which is a little more normal to me, but there are also some frames right in the middle of the boxes that have drawn frames on both sides but nothing on them. Its as if some frames have something that is repelling bees, but they have all been together for more than a year. They are all medium boxes. One is only 2 boxes high and one is 3 boxes high. Even the little 2 box hive has undrawn frames with empty wax foundation. I haven't added new boxes because I'm trying to avoid the "chimney effect" that you folks taught me about last year. But its almost August and my bees won't even fill up 2 medium boxes? WHAT IS GOING ON HERE???
One other thing I hope someone can explain and which is probably unrelated to above but I just have to mention it. Today I opened my 2 box hive and pulled several frames, found the queen, etc. I even took my glove off to make photos and all was fine… But as soon as I took the cover and inside top off of my 3 box I had an experience that has never, ever happened to me. All of a sudden, what must have been 1/2 of the bees in the hive came pouring out and completely attacked me. I had a bee suit on (thank God) and they just COVERED my from the waist up. And it wasn't just curiosity or because I had queen pheromones or whatever…they were on the attack. Wen it was all over I could literally see dozens if not hundreds of stingers all over my suit and gloves (which of course means I lost a lot of bees) I took 12 stings myself and it was the first time in my whole life that I actually had a small alergic reaction (hands swelled a little and I itch all over). But what I want to know is why today - a nice sunny day- when I did the same thing I've done many times before- did my bees act so incredibly aggressive?
I sure hope someone can help with one or both of these situations. thanks
Did you the smoke them first? When i get into my hives i give them two nice puffs of smoke at the entrance and then wait 60 seconds before slowly opening the top. That gives the guards plenty of time to communicate to the hive that a forest fire is near and they should all focus on filling their honey stomach. I also use hive drapes to cover each box and the only frame exposed to light is the one im working on. My bees are always mellow if i follow this approach.
Great advice
I suspect that your lack of drawn comb and honey is due to your bee population being to low to take advantage of honey flows when the occur.
They must have had some thing upset them, either in the environment,on you, or they had become hot for some reason. Two things come to mind, the manner in which you were handling them ie no smoke, being rough, or problems with the queen. I don't know the geography of the US at all well and I also wonder if you are in an area of possible africanisation… just a thought.
I added 4 Mason bee houses to my backyard this summer. I was planning to let a friend set up a honeybee hive here but my neighbour's set up a daycare next door (shared backyard) so decided not to risk it. Now with 6 Mason bee houses I should have lots of native pollinators. Good luck thcityman with your new hobby.
Yes we all have those neighbors from hell. I built my greenhouses 9-10' tall so the back neighbors can't even see into our yard anymore. They would complain about everything to the city.
thecityman, it could be the bees in the 3 box hive smelled the queen pheromones from the queen in the 2 box hive, and they REALLY did not like it.
About the empty frames, since it is hard to know how many bees are actually in the hives, it is hard to give advice. But if it were me, I would put most of the brood in the bottom box, leaving one pulled frame on each side. If there is extra frames of brood put them in the center of the upper box and put the empties around them. And if there are not a lot of bees in the 3 box hive I would do it the same way and remove the third box if you have a lot of empties/flat. Let them both build up with brood and starting to cap some honey then add the 3rd box. If I remember right you started with nucs again didn't you?
Like I said, it is really hard to estimate bee numbers. What you think is a lot I might think is not so many if I could see them. Pictures might help.
I very, very much appreciate everyone's advice. I you are all going to jump on what I'm about to tell you as being the cause of the attacking bees…I didn't use any smoke at all when I opened it and they all attacked. BUT HOLD ON…the thing is, I really never use smoke. I have a smoker, and I used it when I started, but I could never tell any difference in the behavior of me bees so I stopped using the smoke. I've opened that same hive several times this year and the bees never stung me or my clothes-not once- nor did they ever act aggressively. SO I just don't think it was the lack of smoke that caused them to go crazy. But I'll start smoking them again now.
I appreciate all the tips and information in the responses. @tessie5 ' s recommendation was especially helpful and I'll try what you said, Betty, but the problem is that none of my frames are all brood or all honey. Most of them are roughly half of each. Not split evenly, just a few brood cells, then a few honey cell, then more brood, etc. This must be uncommon because I always read people talking about Brood frames and Honey frames as if they are 2 separate things, but mine never are. Oh well…I'm obviously still in the learning curve here. Thanks all.
My opinion is that you are partly correct. You never know what was going on with a hive prior to your arrival. Was it disturbed before you opened it in some way that you weren't aware of. A couple of bumps on it's side prior to your opening it could have them agitated and they just took it out on you. A few nuts or pine cone falling from a tree could disturb them. They could just be having a bad day. My approach before opening an occupied hive was always to use two light puffs of smoke in the entrance then wait 2-5 minutes and then open. Even if they are already agitated the smoke helps. Smoke indicates a fire (survival mode) and they load up on honey thus resulting in a less aggressive hive of bees. These are not all the reasons for aggressiveness but a good place to start. A few bee stings is a great teacher. Best of luck. Bill
I was hoping I could find a picture on my computer of a frame of brood but I guess my pictures are on film. But anyway the whole frame won't be all brood, on a perfect frame there should be brood in the center with pollen and honey all around. There can be empty spots and there may be empty space in the center of the brood where they have just hatched or there are new eggs.
I did a search of images for "beehive brood frames" and found a lot of good pictures, would give you an idea of what frames should look like.
THanks so much for clearing that up! Once in a while I will have a frame that is 100% all capped honey cells, and somehow I got in my mind that brood frames should be the same way except with larvae or eggs. But now that you have described it, I know that my frames are more typical of what I should expect. I'll google some photos to be sure. Thanks again, Betty, for your help.
And thanks, @Auburn for your input as well. After reading your suspicions about why my bees attacked me, I think I probably have solved that mystery. I didn't think much about it at the time, but looking back I distinctly remember that I did cause more than a little commotion before I opened that hive that day. I remember that I got the main, outside plastic cover off with no problems. But then when I went to pull the inner wooden top off, it was stuck pretty bad. I tugged on it a few times, then I had to use my little bee-hive "pry bar thing" (I suspect there is a better name for it! ha) and sort of force it into a couple locations. The result of all this is that I did bang on my hive one way or another a few times before I opened it. THis usually isn't the case. So from what you are saying, I bet anything that's why I got 11 stings and countless more stingers in my suit. Those buggers were just relentless that day- my first ever "attack". The managed to crawl under the elastic band on my gloves and sting my arms, go up my pant legs and get me on both legs, and hit me on the head a couple times by just stinging right through my face and head gear onto where my face and head sat right against the material. Those head stings were the most painful. WHen it was over I actually had some allergic reactions for the first time in my life. My hands were slightly swollen and red (not from direct stings) and my palms itched like crazy. I had some itching all over, and even my lips swelled a tiny bit. None of these reactions were anywhere close to being severe, and 11 stings seems like quite a bit, so hopefully my reaction wasn't too extreme. I had Benadryl on hand but didn't even take it because it makes me sleepy, but if things had been worse I would. THe only thing that worries me is that I've read that the more times you get stung, the more likely it is you will develop a bee sting allergy. It seems like the opposite would be true. With snake bites I always heard that the more a person gets bit over time, the more their body develops resistance. Seems like the more times I get stung the more used to it I would be. Which is true?
Glad your okay. Bee suits are extremely hot to wear this time of the year so it is a decision whether or not to wear one. As hot as they are I always used one and if I were allergic it would seem even more important in my opinion. I think if you stay at this hobby and continue to learn it will eventually be a source of enjoyment. Bill
This is not absolutely scientifically proven and is just based on my experience and limited reading of literature. It really seems like allergies are connected to the adrenal system, so whether small doses vaccinates or aggregates depends a lot on your reaction to. Since you had a minor reaction, you definitely need to be more careful. Don't obsess about the sting spots, and don't DON'T DON'T put yourself into another situation where you might get stung if you're nervous. Bees definitely can smell the cortisol in your fear and react poorly, and there SEEMS to be a correlation between fearing the reaction and having the reaction.
Personally, if I was bound and determined to keep bees, I might numb my arm a little and deliberately get stung periodically to keep my adrenaline response to the pain as small as possible.
[quote="thecityman, post:534, topic:4536"]
stinging right through my face and head gear onto where my face and head sat right against the material.
[/quote] Why does the material touch your head? I don't understand why your hat isn't holding the material away from your body. Use shoe strings or something to tie your pant legs closed, they still might get you on the ankles. Extra rubber bands around your gloves, do what ever it takes to keep them away. And they will still get you sometimes. I use to use wide masking tape all around my netting where it fit around my neck and chest. I didn't want them crawling under and stinging my face. Had that happen once.
I started raising bees with my mom in the 70's and decided to quit about 2008 when a couple of stings sent me to the hospital, bad case of hives and itching. I had a few smaller reactions before that, but decided not to take the risk anymore. I still have bees around but I stay out of their space when they are in the garden. The nuc I bought last year my son and his wife take care of. I do miss getting into them.
Your reactions this time don't seem too bad considering how many times you were stung. Hope it is never this bad again.
@MisterGuy what you said makes a lot more sense to me than some things I've heard and read. I will be more careful and fortunately my experience wasn't bad enough to instill any serious fears.
@tessie5 you bring up an outstanding point/question that I've often wondered about. Often when I see photos of people in bee suits they DO have one of those round hats that sort of look like a safari hat and the bee suit goes over and/or attaches to them. My bee suit doesn't have that. Basically, in terms of head gear, my bee suit top/hood just goes directly onto my head. So yea, if a bee stings the very top of my suit it is most likely going to go right through the material and into the top of my head. The face net is a little better in that it sort of sticks out 1/2 inch or so from my face, but much of the time it-too-sits right on my face. I can sort of pull the whole head cover unit out away from my face by pulling it tight from the front- thereby pulling it tight against the back of my head and neck but this makes the net sit about 1/2 inch to 1 inch in front of my face and nose.
I've done an awful job describing the top of my suit, but my point is that I don't have the hat/helmut. I have worn a ball cap or even nit cap under it and while safer, its not comfy at all that way. Point is, I've always wondered if my bee suit is missing something on top, but I'm just not sure. Thanks for that good question, for telling a bit of your own story, and for your concern with my situation. All is well, though. Thanks.
And again, I don't want to horrify any doctors by implying that conditioned response is the ONLY mechanism by which allergies work but it's certainly appearing to be ONE possible mechanism.
Sorry to hear about your bee fountain. You're fortunate to only get a few stings.
Kevin, I'm sorry about this, but sometimes you can't help but spank a puppy. The first thing you do before you get ready to do bees is…light your smoker!! Not only do you put yourself at risk, but passersby, family, friends, and any one around your bees are at risk for sometimes days when you work them w/o smoke. What happened was the alarm pheromone started in the first hive and was carried to the second hive and when you opened it, pow bee fountain. 50-100 stings are a typical result of bee fountains. You had a normal reaction to that many stings, I will take 2 benedryl and the swelling and pain will be gone in a day or two, the itching will remind you to use your smoker.
At this time of the year and you only have 2,3 medium boxes of bees, something is very wrong. You should open those boxes and the bees should boil out of them, there should be big beards of bees on the fronts and bees hanging from the underneaths of the boxes. Most likely both swarmed and were late requeening. When you examined the colonies did you find eggs and brood in all stages of development? Did both queens look normal, no missing parts or small or misshapened parts? Are you seeing normal drone brood patterns, pollen, nectar, and honey patterns? I don't think anything is wrong with your frames/foundation, just not enough bees. Bad temper can also signal queen problems also.
Sorry to smack you about but I hope your misfortune saves some one else who might not have a good bee suit on.[quote="thecityman, post:538, topic:4536"]
my bee suit is missing something on top
It is. Dadant makes a nice, inexpensive straw helmet and a veil they call a special Israeli veil, I've never been stung through that combination when properly tied down. You will have to talk to the Keokuk, Iowa, Dadant store to find that veil and they may protest some but they do carry it. It has elastic top and bottom and I've used mine for 10 yrs.

Throughout history human societies have deified and worshiped certain leaders or invented icons or 'Gods' for the same purpose. This is an expression of the mysticism of the religious practices in the primitive stages of human production. The power of nature over humans, scarcity and educated men on the whole ruling over the people, controlling them led to the supposed divinity of certain people in the eyes of the many. The authorities used this regard for divinity of certain leaders as a tool of control as a means by which they could discourage the people from thinking themselves. Despite the advances which were bought about by capitalism and the development of technology up to its present stage, mystical ideas and ideologies are very common all over the world. This should be no surprise given that bourgeois society promotes metaphysical thinking, individualism and subjectivism. It has relied on the perpetuation of the main religions and spiritualism because often they provide hope for many oppressed and exploited people. This leads to a disregard and ignorance and distrust of scientific thinking and rigorous scientific testing of theory.
One particular form of this mysticism is the cult of the individual. The bourgeois ideology of individualism is taught to everyone from birth and is promoted in schools, media, universities and, of course, the workplace. It effects our attitude to analysing social phenomena and historical change. The idea of the big men who make history with the masses as passive spectators or sheep is a common explanation given in bourgeois schools for the historical process. Bourgeois ideological hegemony is insidious. It is no surprise (and would be unusual if it were otherwise) that revolutionary movements can carry these bourgeois ideas and even promote them.
The cult of the individual is one such hangover from the past that has played a negative role in the Communist movement. There is nothing Communist in this in itself. The cult of the individual has existed throughout the ages around kings, queens, military leaders, spiritual gurus and celebrity entertainers. They have promoted the infallibility of a single leader, a "genius" whose every word and thought is correct, guiding and beyond question. Some of the best and outstanding revolutionary leaders of the Communist movement have ended up at the centre of such cultish devotion; Vladimir Lenin. Joseph Stalin, Mao Tse-tung have all had cults of the individual developed around them which have reached bizarre religious proportions. The cult has always ended up being used as a counter-revolutionary weapon and it could not be otherwise with such a reactionary phenomenon. Both Stalin and Mao were critical of the cult of the individual although they did not struggle enough against it when they could have done so. Mao opportunistically believed he could used the cult to further spread the message of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution but it ended up being used against it by Lin Piao and later Deng Xiaping. In the 1950s Mao had pointed out the reactionary nature of the cult of the individual:
"The cult of the individual is a rotten carry-over from the long history of mankind. The cult of the individual is rooted not only in the exploiting classes but also in the small producers. As is well known, patriarchalism is a product of small-producer economy."1
Comrade Mao was always emphatic that 'Mao Tse-tung Thought' was the summation of the experiences of millions of Chinese people making revolution and definitely not the sole creation of one clever individual. The Marxist theory of knowledge holds that all kinds of knowledge are social products arising out of the collective struggles of human beings to sustain their means of material life. Particular individuals may give clear expositions of such bodies of knowledge but they are the medium through which socially generated analyses of aspects of the world are expressed.
There are revolutionaries today who are again reviving the cult of the individual. This time it is Dr. Abismael Guzman (Gonzalo) who has become the focus of this mystical phenomenon. This leads to the formulation of an incorrect political line.
The capitulationist line of the Communist Party of Peru (Sendero Luminoso) leadership, it is argued. is not the result of the errors of these leaders and the conditions of the struggle. Rather it is argued that it is all down to individual traitors excluding Gonzalo, who is apparently free of any errors. It is claimed that he cannot take any responsibility for the capitulationist line, because he is Gonzalo, the Great Leader. The evidence points to the contrary. The Movement for Amnesty and Fundamental Rights (MOVADEV) political organisation bases its support for elections and 'peace' on the fact Gonzalo had called for this in letters and interviews. As far as they are concerned the line must be correct because it is "Gonzalo Thought" emanating from the head of the Great Leader and is the ultimate truth. The cultism around Gonzalo has played a role in the defeat of People's War in Peru. The "theory" put forward to justify the cult of the individual is that of 'Jefatura' or 'Great Leadership' developed by the CPP (Sendero Luminoso). It is once again being promoted today by the 'Struggle Sessions' Art House internet "Maoists" in the USA. This theory claims that the vanguard party and democratic centralism must have 'Great Leadership' which guides everything. This is not the practice of democratic centralism which is the centre of the political movement (not a top down hierarchy) and operates through the mass line. The same kind of justifications for the cult of the individual was put forward by the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) with Prachandra Path and the Revolutionary Communist Party USA around Bob Avakian. In 1980 Avakian wrote a book titled 'Mao Tse-tung's Immortal Contributions'. This is another example of the religious style of worship some Communists have engaged in. Marxism-Leninism-Maoism is a scientific theory and cannot be immortal as everything is in a constant state of change from quantitative to qualitative, a thing comes into being and changes and dies to be replaced by another. This is the fundamental understanding of dialectics. To claim Mao's teaching is 'immortal' goes against it.
These are no different to the 'Supreme Leadership' theory promoted in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea around the Kim dynasty. Such a theory of 'Jefatura' is the result of a failure to the practise the mass line and the emergence of petty bourgeois individualism. The cult of the leader is a bourgeois ideology of egoism and individualism and it will always end up serving the ruling class. Khrushchev and the revisionists in the International Communist Movement of the past century used the attack on the cult of the individual as a cover to attack and abandon Marxism-Leninism, but as Althusser said, we have to attack the cult of the individual from the left as opposed to the approach of the revisionists. The accusations of "Khrushchevite revisionism" thrown at the Marxist–Leninist Communist Organization – Proletarian Way (OCML-VP) by the Parti Communists Maoiste (MCP) of France2 because of the formers criticisms of the Communist Party of Peru3 is an infantile attempt to discredit materialist criticisms of such cultish practices. It was, of course, the likes of Khrushchev who promoted the cult of Stalin in the first place and then used the reverse version of it to blame Stalin for every mistake or historical phenomena which had negative consequences to the building of socialism.
The cult is an ideal tool for the capitalist class. Someone at the top can do all the thinking for everyone; he is infallible, no one else knows better so follow and do not question, politics is the preserve of a few geniuses. The masses are just there to listen and play no initiating role. This is extreme individualism. It is the same practice that creates celebrity culture, stardom, fandom and idolatry of the rich. According to the cult, the individual and not the masses make history. Its aim is to stifle the initiative of the masses and has always been used against them. The 'great man' theory of history which has been promoted by bourgeois idealists like Aldous Huxley is repeated throughout bourgeois society. Politics and culture today are always put down to this or that leading individual of exceptional genius and even biological superiority. We see the media and smaller capitalist enterprises promoting the cult of people from Diana Spencer, Che Guevara and Jeremy Corbyn. Faith in an individual to do all things means no conscious political action by the masses. The cult of the individual has has hung like a lead chain around the neck of the Communist movement for decades. It's time it was discarded into the dustbin of history!

Tawny Owl Nest Camera | April 2019 | Laying Eggs & Incubating
The female tawny owl is now incubating three eggs. She sits on these eggs alone for 30 days until hatching begins. This year she laid two weeks later than usual and for a while I was worried she wasn't going to lay any eggs at all.
Owls are unlike other birds in that they begin to incubate as soon as the first egg is laid. This means that the chicks hatch at different intervals and vary in size inside the nest.

Keep checking in to this blog post for new clips from the nest.

Waiting For Babies | A Tale Of Incubation
Incubating three tawny eggs
Click to play video
The tawny owl is now sitting on three beautiful white eggs. The first two of these eggs were laid at two-day intervals, the third egg arrived three days after the second egg. All three are due to hatch in the first week of May.
The female sits on her clutch day and night, only taking the occasional break to stretch her wings. Female tawny owls incubate alone for 30 days to hatching. Her mate punctuates the monotony by bringing in regular snacks. Watch the surprised look on his face when he arrives one day to find she is out!
One day their peace is shattered by an audacious jackdaw who brings in sticks ready to make a nest in Beech Stump – right under the nose of Mrs Tawny!! After a tense standoff, the jackdaw retreats. It is a thankful escape. Watch the video to see how jackdaws can quickly colonise other bird's nests.

Amazing! Tawny Owl Lays 2 Eggs
First tawny eggs of the season
Click above to play the video
Every day last month I have been worried about the tawny owls. The female looked seriously unwell and I didn't expect her to survive. The male didn't seem to be 100% either. So I'm absolutely delighted to report that the female is now fully recovered and has laid two eggs! Watch the video to see how loved up this pair are and how she lays her eggs. Watch how delighted the female is with herself, if an owl could grin – this would be it. Enjoy!

Life isn't always fair. People with lots of money get an easier time than people with little money. If you haven't tried to climb up from the bottom you have no idea how difficult that is. Even people who work very hard, all the time, receive very few of the rewards. Those that do seem to be in "hot" markets and knew where and how they needed to spend their college dollars.
Let me say that the system does seem a little rigged but also that higher wages don't solve all the problems. If we pay Americans more, companies just move overseas and circumvent our laws. At the same time, we do know that those who are wealthy and in charge of such companies receive advantages by keeping wages low.
There is no easy solution to this and people who say they do often have no idea what they are talking about. They are either on the Left or the Right of the argument. No doubt we need to do something about how people are paid and how they are not. The system must be cleaned from undo influence that hampers small businesses and American families.
The first thing I might think about is how to ensure that American small family businesses have an opportunity to succeed. They should have some protections from being "swamped" by larger more powerful companies. A small inventor should not be sued by a larger company just to bankrupt them and take the patent.
That would require our judges to be moral. They often look at the fine points of the law and dissect in that mindset. It is hard to legislate morality. The judges will need to agree that certain value of fair play are important in society. The rules should not be skewed in favor of the powerful or otherwise these rules just become part of the problem.

So today we played around in class, building towers of paper and getting to know one another. Fun fun fun!
Let me present to you my group for today's lecture:
FREDRIK HALLBERG – An engineering doing his master in Computer Science. On his spare time he spend a lot of time doing what he's best at, computer things. Occasionally he turn on his TV for some Netflix and chill though, really nice. And to stay in shape he has promised himself to work out for at least two times a week. In order to do so he's started to play American Football. Go Fredrik!
CELINE LY – Doing her master in Chemical Science. Straight from Paris and Procter and Gamble she has come to join us here in Stockholm for her final semester. So glad to have you here Celine! When she's not studying she loves to travel around the world. But that takes quite some time so mostly she just stay at home watching American series such as Revenge (girl power!) and also baking cakes. Hope she'll bring a taste for Tuesday 😉
And the last member, me, I will leave to one of my super duper team members to present. So go visit their blogs as well!
Anyhow, as I said we also played with some paper, building towers. I think our group actually was the first with the great design (see picture) but as always, with good ideas there are people trying to copying it. Ended up with another group making a tower like 1 cm taller than ours (applause to you guys…).
Sorry for the super crappy pic but I think you all see how super tall our paper tower is. And for you who wonder what Celine looks like, that's her right next to it.

Cooking is an art, and just like any other art, you need proper equipment to get the best results. We, cooks, don't just want to prepare a meal. We want it to be good looking, tasty, and finger licking. Cooking is not about eating; it's about the act itself. But sometimes you just encounter things that would spoil the mood. That is when food sticks to the frying pan in my case, especially when I'm trying something new.
It's utterly frustrating, and it can happen even while preparing something as simple as fried eggs if you have the wrong cookware. Imagine getting a new French Cookbook just to end up with sticky food, wouldn't that make your furious?
Do not worry though, as there's a piece of cookware that will surely solve this issue for you; the Red Copper Pan. To be clear, non-stick cookware isn't a new thing. Other cookware promises the same functionality, including Gotham Steel Pans, but red copper ones promise to provide extra features over their counterparts.
Here in this guide, we go through the best Red Copper Pans on the market and everything you need to know before buying one. Here are the five best Red Copper Pan we recommend for you:

#1 – Red Copper Non-stick Square Ceramic Cookware 5 Piece Set:
Bulbhead continues to impress us with its vast kitchenware catalog, and it promises efficiency and functionality with its all-around set made of high-quality red copper.
The Red Copper Square Pan 5-piece set contains, in the packaging, a 10-inch square pan, a vented tempered glass lid, a fry basket, a Food Steamer and roaster rack, and a recipe guide from Mrs. Cathy Mitchell. This multi-piece set enhances your cooking abilities, for the best results.
The pan is 14.9 inches long, 6 inches deep, with 4-inch high sides to prevent splatter. Being a 4.8- pound product may make it somehow hard and heavy to deal with, especially when loaded with too many ingredients, but it's perfect for complicated and big meals, for example when you're trying new recipes from an Indian Cookbook.
The copper-infused ceramic pan has a non-stick and scratch-resistant surface and is oven-safe. This pan can be used in a myriad of cooking ways: broiling, baking, sautéing, frying, steaming, braising, roasting, and even as a Deep Fryer alternative.
Its handle is a made of high-quality steel, but it gets too heated in the oven. Just get your Oven Mitt, and you'll be able to grip it firmly.
Although advertisements typically embellish the truth, this pan, surprisingly, performs as advertised. Whatever food you cook in, the ceramic surface retains its non-stick quality. Even plastic cannot stick to it, as shown by a TV ad.
Some online reclamations were complaining about the product being not as good as advertised. They asserted that the pan got scratched as soon as they started using it.
Certainly, the product they received is not the original one. The real one has a Bulbhead marking at the bottom and a 'Red Copper 'markings where the handle meets the baking surface. Make sure to check for these markings before you get tricked.
What we like about it
If you want an all-around solution for your kitchen, Bulbhead's Red Copper Pan set is definitely worth a shot. Every piece of this set is Scratch-resistant and has a Non-stick surface, making both the cooking and cleaning processes quite the relaxed and enjoyable task.
#2 – Red Copper Square Dance Non-stick Ceramic Cookware:
This square-shaped pan is bigger than its rounded counterparts. With 9.5 X 9.3 X 1 inches and ¾ inch depth, its surface is large enough for a two-person meal. This pan can be used for baking, frying and flambéing food and dessert, and it would certainly make a nice extra to a Gift Basket.
Being made of high-quality materials, with new state-of-the-art technologies, the Red Copper Square Dance Non-stick Ceramic Cookware will definitely partake a fundamental place in your kitchen and become irreplaceable for your cooking experience.
Thanks to its non-stick technology, this pan can be used, confidently, without adding extra oil, butter, or grease, which grants you healthy and fat-free food. You won't need those Kitchen Oil Sprayers anymore (not really).
This pan is PTFE and PFOA free, as it is made of pure copper. It is safe to use for you as well as for your children.
Tacky food can burn easily when exposed to high temperatures, be more careful when making such kind of meal. But this pan can be easily cleaned and even burnt food, as well as any other remains, is removable.
This pan also needs proper seasoning and regular, careful maintenance even though it is made of high-quality materials. As soon as you finish using the pot, fill it with hot water and soap, for the residue not to dry.
Avoid using wire to get rid of the residue, for this can affect the nonstick surface. As it is a dishwasher safe, you can simply put it in the machine.
The only inconvenience is concerning the weight as it's heavier than other models. It weighs 1.7 pounds and gets heavier when cooking. Regardless of this feature, this pan is really satisfactory.
What we like about it
Scratch resistant, non-stick surface, and multi-usage. This pan combines everything you'd ever need when exploring the wonders of a Mexican Cookbook, or any other recipe book for that matter. What's even better is that cleaning wouldn't be a hustle when using this pan and it's totally Dishwasher-safe, so you'd be fine if you hate this aspect of cooking.
#3 – Red Copper Ceramic Non-stick 10in Cookware Pan
This good-looking and stylish Red Copper Ceramic Pan encompasses all the merits of red copper and ceramics while avoiding all the negative points for the optimum experience.
Measuring 2 X 10 X 17.3 inches, it is large enough for food for all family members. It weighs 1.5 pounds, which makes somehow heavy, and even heavier when cooking with.
As the previously mentioned ones, this pan is totally safe and healthy, so you can use it without adding butter or grease. However, when dealing with highly tacky food- such as cheese- you'd better not use high temperatures.
Being advertised and classified as a non-stick product does not mean it should not be taken care of. Whatever pan you are using, it definitely needs a regular TLC.
The fact that it is a ceramic-based pan makes the cleaning process more comfortable, so there is no need for scraping. Do not ever resort to using wire; it will only harm your pan and render it sticky. If you can't remove the residue, just fill it with hot water and soap.
This pan is all the more scratch-resistant and dishwasher safe. It is also free of any undesirable and dangerous synthetic chemicals such as PFOA, or PTFE.
The product can be durable if you carefully follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
What we like about it
Just like the other products on our list, this pan is non-stick, scratch resistant, and dishwasher-safe, making it one of the best Kitchen Gadgets for Healthy Cooking.
#4 – Red Copper Fry Pan Deluxe 12 inch:
The Red Copper Fry Pan Deluxe is excellently suitable for quick meals and for oven use. It could be heated up to 500 degrees. However, it is inappropriate for a flat Gas Cooktop.
Unlike other models, this pan comes with two practical and handy handles instead of one. Some meals need to be both baked in the oven and fried on the stove, and handles make the task less complicated and more manageable.
As advertised, the ceramic surface ensures the nonstick characteristic, regardless of the type of food you are preparing. It is also free of PFOA and PFTE and does not release any toxic chemicals, or any substance neither in food nor into the air.
The lid isn't included with this pan, so it's recommended to buy it if you have a spare cover only. Also, seasoning instructions are included; which makes the process straightforward and comfortable.
While it is a dishwasher safe product, it was proven that washing it in the machine makes it less durable. To have as long-lasting as desirable, wash it in warm water and soft dish soap, and dry it with a towel. That should be easy enough thanks to the non-stick coating.
What we like about it
The 12-inch Red Copper Fry Pan Deluxe promises healthy meals no matter what type of food you prefer thanks to its excellent non-stick surface designed to help you get rid of grease while cooking. It's also durable thanks to the red copper construction, and comes with two handles, not one, for easy maneuvering while using it in the oven.
#5 – Red Copper Non-stick Ceramic Cookware Set 10 PC:
Made by the reputable Bulbhead Company and advertised by the expert cook Mrs. Cathy Mitchell, this product is the companion of innumerable chefs.
It is a set of 10-piece ceramic, nonstick cookware. It contains an 8-inch skillet, a 10-inch frying pan with lid, three Sauce Pans with lids that come in the 1.5-quart, 2.5-quart, and 6-quart sizes, and steamer insert.
All in all, this product measures 23.9 X 12.9.2 inches, weighing approximately 16.9 pounds of lightweight, durable red copper-based products that offer non-stick ceramic for healthy cooking without the need for oil, butter, or grease. These pans are also PFOA and PTFE free, so chemical toxins shouldn't be of concern when using them to cook your family meals, even those that require some oven time as this set is oven-safe. If you frequently cook meat and fish, or if you want to try out some recipes from your Pastry Cookbook, this set is a perfect match.
This pan is aluminum-based, which makes it inappropriate to use on induction stoves and gas stovetop. A Convection Oven is the best for these pans, so make sure yours is ready for the newcomer.
What we like about it
Everything. Don't let the fact that this is the last product on our list fool you into thinking that it's not a quality set. The 10-Piece Red Copper Non-Stick Ceramic Cookware would definitely check the boxes for any cook, be it professional or amateur, thanks to its non-stick feature, anti-scratch surface, and multi-purpose usage. Besides, it's durable and comes with a lifetime replacement guarantee, which is something we all dig, don't we?

How Did We Choose the Products on Our List?
Every product on our list has been hand-picked from thousands of similar items after going through different factors including the features, warranty, quality to price ratio, ease-of-use, and customer reviews. Whatever it is you're seeking, you can definitely find it among our suggestions.
How Safe Are the Red Copper Pans?
Among the most asked questions that have been lately arisen about Red Copper Pans is whether they are safe or not. As I mentioned earlier, they are safe thanks to the non-toxic materials they are made of but let's dig into more details.
The Red Copper Pan is multi-layered, which assure its non-toxic quality and enhances the ceramic finish, which in turn adds to the surface its nonstick quality.
Even when used at high temperature, the ceramic surface does not unleash any toxic substances.
The real Red Copper Pans do not by any chance release any unwanted substance into the food, and their coating is quite durable.
All in all, Red Copper Pans are durable, hardened and provide an even heat distribution, which positions them among the safest cookware in the industry.
Doe Red Copper Pans Work?
The surface is entirely immune to scratches and excellently absorbs heat. Thanks to its innovative quality, food never sticks to this pan, manufacturers assert.
Many television shows and YouTube channels showcased the pan's performance, proving its nonstick quality.
We know that infomercials aren't to be blindly trusted, but these shows have been backed up by reviews of countless users around the world, and they've been utterly happy with the results.
How to Use a Red Copper Pan?
Since red copper pans are a bit of a speciality pan, there's a few thins you should know when using one:
Frying with the Red Copper Pan:
One tablespoon is enough when frying. Otherwise, your food will be just too greasy.
To make your eating habits healthy, think of using peanut, olive, or canola oil instead of sunflower oil.
After adding the oil, wait a few minutes until it heats up. Here are some tricks for you if you find yourself unable to detect whether or not the oil is heated up:
- Add a drop of water into the oil; if it sizzles, the current heat is enough.
- You can also use a special cooking thermometer, which you put in the oil for five seconds, then it will indicate the results.
- If you don't have a thermometer, cut open the meat with a knife. If it is yet red, it is white; then it is fried enough. If it is still reddish, it isn't ready.
- Put a wooden spoon's handle in it. If bubbles appear, the oil is sufficiently hot.
When frying cheese or meat, leave a space between the slices so that they don't touch each other. You also should not put food in layers; it won't get adequately fried.
Using a fork or tongs, flip the steak after three to six minutes. Keep in mind that the fork can be harmful to the meat, as it can cause a loss of its juices.
To remove it from the pan, use tongs or spatula, then serve it on a plate and enjoy a tasty evening.
Flambéing with the Red Copper Pan:
Flambéing makes the cooking experience more exciting, adding a dramatic touch to it. It also makes your food tasty, crispy, and splendid.
Having the surface made for extremely high temperatures and suitable for sticky food, the Red Copper Pan is perfect for flambéing.
Although it seems extravagant and dangerous, the flambé technique is one of the best cooking techniques and can be easily practiced.
Flambéing is essential in the sense that it helps maintain the food's consistency when adding alcohol. Without flambéing, the food would just absorb a significant part of the alcohol, having only alcohol flavor. However, flambéing removes that taste.
Here are some tips for an exotic flambéing experience:
- The dish must be warmed enough before adding alcohol. Otherwise, it won't lit.
- Choose liquors that are 80- proof and are complementary to the dish. For meat, use cognac and whiskey, and for desserts use flavored
- For the food not to absorb too much alcohol, start flambéing the moment you pour the alcohol.
- Although it's not necessary, flambéing in a dark room adds a nice touch and makes you look cool in front of your guests, so consider doing it.
Washing the Red Copper Pan:
The Red Copper Pan can be simply and safely cleaning using the dishwasher. However, if you don't have a machine, you should wash it as soon as you finish cooking; otherwise, it would be a significantly hard task.
Here is a procedure for you to quickly wash your Red Copper Pan:
- Baking soda protects and maintains the nonstick quality of the surface. Mix it with water to have a paste, then spread it on the remains.
- Rub the surface using a non-abrasive scrubber
- Finally, swill and dry with a towel
Other useful tips:
- Filling the pan with hot water can be useful if you can't wash it just after using it. That will prevent sticking residue.
- Cooking sprays may result in irremovable remains; it is advisable not to use them.
Red Copper Pan vs. Gotham Steel Pan vs. Copper Chef Pan:
Gotham steel pans and copper chef pans are perceived of as counterparts to the red copper pan, concerning the non-stick cookware.
The chef Daniel Green advertises the Gotham steel pan, Copper Chef Pan is supported by Culinary Expert & Acclaimed chef Eric Theiss, and the Red copper pan by Cathy Mitchel, a best-selling author.
The Gotham steel pan differs from the red copper one in terms of temperature distribution and consistency, for it is fabricated with ceramic and titanium. It is indisputable that copper is way better at even heat distribution.
Some most Gotham steel pan users get disappointed as soon as they purchase it, discovering that it does not perform as advertisers claim, contrarily to the Red Copper pan.
The copper chef pan is known for its ability to withstand high temperatures, thanks to its ceramic surface enhancements which make it thicker and denser. It can resist up to 800 degrees without the slightest damage.
The Copper Chef Pan's non-stick durability does not differ much from its counterpart. It is in fact, more durable than the Gotham Steel Pan, but less lasting than the Red Copper Pan.
Cooking food without sticking is something every chef digs, and it can be easily done using a Red Copper Pan. Among the above suggestions, our recommendation is the Red Copper Non-stick Ceramic Cookware Set 10 Pc, which is the best product you can get, with which you will be entirely happy and satisfied.
With a fairly reasonable price, you will receive a fry basket, a rice cooker, a glass lid, a roast rack, and a cookbook.
With even heat distribution, it prepares food quickly, so it is a perfect choice for those who get rapidly bored in the kitchen or cannot spend long-time cooking.
It is constructed by five layers, polished twice, which makes it immune to damage and scratch while used. It is also durable as it is based on aluminum and stainless-steel induction and can also be used on any cooktop.
All the other products are excellent and deliver what's advertised as well, so even if our top recommendation doesn't suit your needs, you can get any of the above. Once you make your choice, get your new pan and unleash the master chef laying inside you!

First Image of Edward and Bella's Wedding Night From Breaking Dawn 2010-11-28 08:00:00
First Pic of Edward and Bella's Wedding Night in Breaking Dawn — So Hot or Just OK?
The first half of Breaking Dawn hits theaters in slightly less than a year, Nov. 18, 2011, and while that may feel like a long way away we just got our first peek at the film. The movie's director, Bill Condon, shared this picture on Twitter showing Kristen Stewart's hand amid feathers on Edward and Bella's wedding night. We saw Robert and Kristen filming their bikini and shirtless honeymoon scene and other romantic bits and pieces down in Brazil earlier in the month, but now that they are back on location in Louisiana there haven't been many photos. We're months away from a more legitimate look at Breaking Dawn part one, so tell us what you think of this still — so hot or just OK?

Stop the Carbon Tax
Trudeau's carbon tax will make everything more expensive for families that are struggling to get ahead.
Even the Parliamentary Budget Office has confirmed that the Liberals' Carbon Tax would need to be five times more expensive than it is today, causing Canadians to pay more for groceries, home heating and add 22 cents per litre to the cost of gas.
The Liberal Carbon Tax isn't a plan to lower emissions, it's just another cash grab.
Andrew Scheer will scrap the Carbon Tax, leave more money in Canadians' pockets, and help them get ahead.
Sign the petition below and help me stop the carbon tax!

Some helpful vocabulary
A theological school is a graduate school of higher learning that offers theological education. Generally, graduates of theological schools become members of the clergy or lay leaders in their churches. Some become teachers of theology or its related disciplines (like history or Bible).
The most common standard degree offered by Protestant and Catholic theological schools in North America is the master of divinity (or M.Div.) degree. But theological schools also offer M.A. degrees, Ph.D. degrees, and many specialized master's degrees in subjects like music, counseling, and youth ministry. A few theological schools have undergraduate departments that offer bachelor's degrees in theological subjects.
Most theological schools are accredited by the Assocation of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada. Many are also accredited by one of the regional accrediting organizations. A few are accredited by other bodies like the Association for Biblical Higher Education. Some have chosen not to seek accreditation at all. Catholic schools, whether accredited or not, are governed by the Vatican's Congregation for Catholic Education.
Among Catholics, theological schools that train men for the priesthood are called called major seminaries or simply seminaries. Some (but not all) major seminaries have an undergraduate school, usually called a college seminary, and all have a graduate school known as a theologate. But a Catholic school that trains lay leaders (or members of consecrated religious orders) is usually called a school of theology, institute of theology, or theological union.
In the United States, a Protestant theological school that is not part of a university is often called a theological seminary or just a seminary. If, on the other hand, the school is part of a university, the more common name is divinity school.
In Canada, Britain, and elsewhere in the English-speaking world, a theological school is often called a theological college or simply a college or even a hall. Many Canadian and British theological colleges are independent but have a loose affiliation with a nearby "secular" university. In some cases, multiple theological colleges that represent different faith traditions are affiliated with the same university.
There are many variations on these names, including school for ministry, center, and school of divinity.
Generally, the head of a theological school is called a president. In Canada, a common synonym is principal. The head of a Catholic seminary is often called a rector. The head of an Episcopal seminary is usually called a dean. However, in most other theological schools, the dean is instead the chief academic officer. (At a college or university, the chief academic officer is usually called the academic dean or provost.)
The word "seminary"
Seminary sometimes refers to academic institutions that do not offer graduate theological education.
In the past, religiously affiliated secondary schools (especially for girls) were often called seminaries. Some secondary schools retain this name today.
In Catholic education, a minor seminary is a boarding school for high-school boys who are being trained for the priesthood. Traditionally, graduates of minor seminaries enrolled in the college department of a major seminary, where they pursued studies in a bachelor's-level "pre-theology" program. Today, there are few minor seminaries remaining in the United States and Canada.
Teenagers who are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormons) often attend a religious instruction program before the start of their regular high-school classes each day. This program, often held at a nearby Mormon home or church building, is called early morning seminary or daily seminary.
