We've all been there: You've pulled out last night's delicious chili leftovers, scooped them into a bowl, and put them in the microwave for what you hope will be a 90-second journey to a hot, delicious meal.
Beep! Beep! The microwave cheerily sings out a victory anthem; your food is ready.
You reach for the bowl… and scald the first three layers of skin off your hands in the process. The dish isn't just hot; it's as though you just plucked Beelzebub's dinner plate straight from the fires of hell.
Fighting back tears, you wrap a cloth around the bowl and place it on the table, your hunger only made more intense by the tingling sensation left where your fingertips used to be.
Not even third degree burns can ruin what you're sure will be the best second-helping of chili you've ever had in your life. Excitedly, you dig in a spoon and take a bite – only to find that the food is just as cold as when you first put it in.
What kind of cruel joke is this?
As you spit out icicles of beef and beans, you debate finding a baseball bat to take vengeance on the infernal hate machine sitting on your counter.
Stop! The Problem Probably Isn't Your Microwave.
To answer the question of why microwaves sometimes heat the dish and not the food, it helps to have a very basic understanding how a microwave oven works.
When you merrily punch in the numbers and hit "Start", everything in your microwave oven is bombarded with electromagnetic waves. These waves will bounce off, pass through, or be absorbed by whatever is inside the oven.
Bouncing off or passing through an object won't heat it up, but when the microwaves are absorbed, the molecules absorbing them get more excited than a Bieber fan with front row seats. This agitation creates heat, and this heat is what warms up your food.
The electromagnetic waves used in a microwave are special because they are released at a frequency that is absorbed by water, sugar, and fat molecules, but which leaves other molecules alone.
Ideally, that means your dish shouldn't be affected by the microwaves at all. However, the same process that heats up your food can also cause your dinner plate to transform into a disc of molten lava.
Your Dishes Are Likely the Culprit!
We all know not to throw metal into a microwave (unless you want to be treated to the most expensive, destructive, and terrifying homegrown lightning show EVER), but what you may not know is that some dishes are unsafe to use in microwave ovens because they contain or absorb molecules that get all hot and bothered by microwaves.
If the dish is absorbing all the microwaves, your food stays cold while the dish gets hotter. This is especially problematic when your food is inside a bowl, cup, or closed dish because the dish will act like a greedy shield, preventing the microwaves from reaching the food.
It's not just an annoying problem – microwaving unsafe dishes can cause them to crack and break, sometimes violently! There's nothing that will ruin your day quite like seeing your favorite bowl shatter into a thousand tragic pieces.
What Kinds of Dishes Should Be Avoided?
In general, unless a dish is labeled as microwave-friendly, you're best to avoid it. Unfortunately, not all dishes are properly labeled. If you want to test whether or not your dish is safe:
- Fill a cup you know is microwave-friendly with water.
- Place the cup in the microwave along with the dish you'd like to test.
- Run the microwave for 30 seconds.
- STAND BACK! This baby could blow at any moment! (Just kidding. These tests are safe, but please use caution and common sense and do not bring water to a boil.)
- If the dish feels quite hot but the cup does not, that dish is not safe to use.
- If you plan to repeat the test, allow the water to cool before placing it back in the microwave.
Some of the more common dishes that cause problems include:
- Unglazed ceramics. These are notorious for absorbing water from the food you're trying to cook.
- Decorative or high-glaze bowls. While most glazes are safe for use in a microwave, highly decorative or artisan bowls may use glazes that contain water molecules. Always test to be certain – and if you're not sure, simply do not use the dish.
- Fine china. Often, china has a metal brim or has designs painted in materials that won't play nice with microwaves.
- Things to never microwave: Dishes containing metal, including aluminum foil and those with metal trim. In addition, Styrofoam, certain types of plastic containers, and plastic bags or brown paper bags should not be microwaved due to possible meltdowns and fire or smoke issues.
The bottom line is this: If your dish is heating up and your food isn't, don't use that dish. Your fingertips and un-cracked dinnerware will thank you.Thanks, Microwave, For The Hot Bowl of Freezing Chili by Matt Hansen

I only stayed one night, but wish it had been longer. The hotel was nice, updated and clean. I usually stay at fancier chain hotels, but was impressed the Royal Palm Tower. Staff were friendly, helpful and you can check out a movie to view in your room. Conveniently located, plenty of things you can walk to in safe neighborhood.

Location is good. Lobby was appealing. Room was nice. I did not eat at the hotel seemed over priced and there are many good places close by. This is a safe area so walking is no problem. Air condition worked very well in my room. No coffee in your room but free coffee in the lobby. I would stay here again.

It's been 9 years now since my father has passed away from pancreatic cancer, and a lot has changed since then. 9 years ago I was a wreck, and the next few years after his death was no different. His death started a chain reaction in my life that sent me into a downward spiral. I just lived each day to get to the next. I never lost someone close to me, someone that I loved my entire life . That's how I tried to deal with his death, by not dealing with it. It didn't work. In 2010, I started Pedaling for Pennies and that has been the best therapy for me. Pedaling for Pennies has let me ride to honer my father, to learn how to live each day to the fullest, and to raise money for cancer research. My father felt so far away after he passed, and now, he rides with me everyday. When I sit in silence, taking in some of the most spectacular views, he's there with me. I talk out load as if he sits right to my side, and somehow nature shows me that hes listening. Almost five years after starting Pedaling for Pennies, and November 22 is no longer a day to dwell and be sad. It's a day that I give thanks for everything he has done for me. That day has changed my life forever. That day is where I woke up to life and now I see the world in different light. His death opened a door in my life that I would have been scared to walk through, if I never would have went through those emotional years. Once again, thank you dad for everything you have done. You still inspire me, even after leaving this world. Missing you always.

Plymouth tight end LeNeil Himes is a beast on the football field.
The 6'3" 250 pounder is the all-time leader in receiving yards and touchdowns for the Rockies, while also topping the school record books in interceptions returned for touchdowns.
But the big guy with a big heart couldn't help but get emotional on Wednesday as he thanked his family and friends for helping him reach his dream.
With tears running down his face, Himes thanked those in attendance as he officially signed his National Letter of Intent to play football at Indiana next year. The moment showed how special of day this can be.
"It's real emotional because I'm leaving Plymouth football which is a big part of my life," Himes said afterwards.
Himes broke down again as he talked about being away from his mom and little brother. But he said the emotions were ones of joy. He's excited to have this opportunity now to play at Indiana and coach Bill Lynch.
"The coaching staff there I like a lot," Himes said. "I just see it being a place where I can get along with everyone there."
"It helps that it's red and white too."
Fittingly, Himes will be play for the man that coached LeNeil's coach at Plymouth, John Barron. Bill Lynch coached Barron at Butler. Barron says the connection made both sides realize this was a perfect fit.
Barron called Himes a once in a lifetime player for a coach. LeNeil will be the 2nd player in Plymouth history to play in the Big Ten.

The Internet of Things is tied together with a thin strand that is known as time. Coincidentally, at the core of nearly all data analytics is a timestamp. When working with time series data there are a few core principles that everyone should consider, especially across datasets where time is the common boundary. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Scott, Director of Enterprise Strategy & Architecture at MapR Technologies, discussed single-value, geo-spatial, and log time series data. By focusing on enterprise applications and the data center, he will use OpenTSDB as an example t...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

Sanna, L.J., and Norbert Schwarz. 2007. "Metacognitive experiences and hindsight bias: It's not just the thought (content) that counts!" Social Cognition, 25(1): 185-202.
Theories of hindsight bias have emphasized the role of declarative information. However, accumulating evidence suggests that the production and reduction of hindsight bias involves an intricate interplay of declarative information and metacognitive experiences. These experiences are informative in their own right and may qualify or even reverse the implications of thought content. We summarize and integrate the available findings in terms of a new model of hindsight bias that includes the interplay between: (a) declarative information, (b) metacognitive experiences, (c) their informational value, and (d) the naive theories used to interpret experiences.

On Rosh Hashana we declare: "Repentance, prayer and charity remove the evil of the decree!" In Hebrew, these constitute the 3 Ts: Teshuva, Tefila and Tzedaka.
"Repentance" sounds like a grand and powerful word. In truth, the most important adjective that must be attached to the act of repentance is the word "sincere."
Most songs written for Shabbat (zmirot) focus on either God's resting from creating the world on the seventh day or on the relationship of the Jewish people to Shabbat. The Sabbath song Yom Shabbaton certainly incorporates these two elements, but its chorus presents a unique association attributed to the Sabbath day. This zemer's chorus describes an event that occurred in the times of Noah–far after creation and many centuries before there was a Jewish nation: "On it [the Sabbath] the dove found rest, there shall rest the exhausted ones."
The Torah verse that epitomizes the emotions of love is: "Anee l'dodi v'dodi lee" – I am to my beloved, and my beloved is to me (Song of Songs 6:3). The ideal love relationship according to the Torah is one in which both parties are willing to give themselves to their chosen partner (in a healthy way, of course). The Hebrew acronym for the verse Anee l'dodi v'dodi lee is "Elul," the name of the Hebrew month that precedes Rosh Hashana.
When speaking of Rosh Hashana, the sages discuss the great sense of awe that one must feel. They do not, however, mean awe as in fear. Rather, they mean awe as in a sense of being overwhelmed by the greatness of God. The purpose of Rosh Hashana is not simply to make people feel guilty for their mistakes or promise to do better (although that too is important), but, as with much of Jewish life, it is to help develop each individual's relationship with God.
To have a relationship with God, a person must recognize all of God's roles–including King and Judge, as is the focus of Rosh Hashana. During Elul, however, we focus on God as the Beloved of the Jewish people.
In many rabbinic allegories, the Jewish people are likened to a bride while God is portrayed as the waiting groom. The Jewish people (both as individuals and as a nation) can gain the most by recognizing that God loves His people and wishes to bring blessing upon their home.
I am to my beloved, and my beloved is to me. When "I" (meaning the Jewish people) can truly give to "my beloved" (meaning God), then God will become ours in a beautiful and divine partnership.

When the Oral Law was first codified, most Jews lived in agrarian settings. Today, being less familiar with agrarian culture, some people find it difficult to relate to some of the discussions in the Mishna (Oral Law) regarding planting or livestock. Although we may no longer farm or herd flocks, the importance of responsible land ownership and use is a value that has remained throughout time.
For Jewish farmers in the land of Israel, one of the mitzvot that is part of the cycle of crop production is that of bikkurim, the first fruit offering. The first fruit to blossom on each plant of the seven species of the land of Israel (wheat, barley, grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives, and dates) is marked (with a string) to be set aside for an offering at the Temple. One might assume that this mitzvah would apply to all farmers, but, in fact, the rabbis understood the pronouns in this commandment to be very specific: "You shall take of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which you shall bring in from your land" (Deuteronomy 26:2).
The Mishna (Bikkurim 1:2) states that "tenants, lessees, or occupiers of confiscated property–or a robber–may not bring them…because it says, 'the first-fruits of your land.'" As significant as the first fruits are, the relationship of the farmer to the land upon which the plant grows is also important.
But ownership of the land is not the only criteria. "These may not bring them [bikkurim]: He who plants on his own soil, but sinks [a shoot] so that [it] nourishes from the territory belonging to an individual or to the public…[or similarly]…so that it grows on his own property"(Bikkurim 1:1). In other words, this mitzvah can only be performed by one who makes certain not to infringe of the property rights of others or the public.

From a distance, halacha, Jewish law, appears to be black and white. In reality, however, much of Jewish law is left to the subjective interpretation of experts. A person with a legal question (such as how to attend a business lunch in a non-kosher establishment) asks his/her rabbi who either paskens (renders a legal decision) or refers the question to someone of greater learning and authority.
The youngest of twelve brothers and one sister, Benjamin, the son of Jacob, appears in the Biblical narrative to be a passive personality whose life is seemingly dictated by the fate of those around him. His mother, Rachel, died while giving birth to him. Knowing that she would not survive, with her last breath she called him Ben-Onee, the son of my mourning. His father, however, called him Binyamin (Benjamin), which means son of my right hand.
Eight years younger than his charismatic brother Joseph, Benjamin was only nine when their father was informed that Joseph had been killed. The sole surviving son of Rachel, Benjamin took Joseph's place as his father's beloved child.
After their first trip to Egypt to buy grain because of the famine in Canaan, Jacob's 10 eldest sons were afraid to return to Egypt for more food, since the Viceroy (really Joseph incognito) had commanded that they not appear before him again without their brother Benjamin. But when the grain ran out, and with great reluctance–only after Judah vowed to protect Benjamin–Jacob allowed his youngest to leave.
When the brothers arrived in Egypt with Benjamin, they were greeted with a feast at which "Benjamin's portion was five times as much as any of them" (Genesis 43:34). Afterward, however, Joseph planted a cup in Benjamin's sack and had Benjamin arrested for theft. Horrified, the brothers returned to Joseph, pleading Benjamin's innocence. Judah even offered serve as a slave for life in Benjamin's stead. Seeing the brothers' strong commitment to protect Benjamin spurred Joseph to reveal himself.
Oddly, throughout all this action, nothing is actually heard from Benjamin himself. Benjamin is an enigmatic character. According to one Midrash, he knew all along that Joseph was alive but did not tell Jacob. Passive as he may seem, the Midrash reveals that Benjamin was one of the few completely righteous individuals to ever live.

There are many mitzvot in the Torah for which there are no given explanations. These mitzvot are known as chukim. For instance, there is a prohibition against wearing wool and linen together in the same garment. Among these chukim is one known as shiluach ha'kayn, sending away the mother bird: If one comes upon a roosting mother bird, one must send the mother bird away before gathering the eggs or the young chicks.
The Jewish community of 21st century Brazil is much like that of other South American Jewish communities. The Brazilian Jewish community is diverse, consisting of Ashkenazim and Sephardim, traditional and assimilated Jews, the wealthy and the poor. Jews are generally accepted within the larger Brazilian population.
Stories of the Zionist leaders of the early twentieth century usually begin: "He came from Poland (or Russia) and…" Golda Meir's account, however, begins quite differently: She came from Milwaukee, Wisconsin (although she was born in Kiev).
Golda Malovitch Meyerson (1898-1978), who would, in 1956, change her name to Meir, began life in Palestine together with her husband, Morris, at Kibbutz Merchavya in 1921. Three years later, they left the Kibbutz and moved first to Tel Aviv and then to Jerusalem. Golda and Morris had two children, Menachem and Sarah.
With each move that they made, Golda was recognized for her natural leadership skills and fiery passion for the labor Zionist movement. In 1932, she returned to the United States for two years with her children (Morris remained in Palestine) to work as an emissary of the Hechalutz women's organization.
Golda was appointed to head the Jewish Agency's Political Department in 1946, after the British arrested the department's senior leadership. Early in 1948, as politicians prepared for the end of the mandate, Golda returned to the U.S. to raise funds. She was expected to raise no more than $10 million, but she returned with $50 million. That May, Golda was one of 24 signatories on Israel's Declaration of Independence and was brought into the government by David Ben-Gurion.
Ambassador (to the Soviet Union), Member of Knesset, Minister of Labor, Minister of Foreign Affairs…Golda Meir assumed the office of Prime Minister in 1969 upon the death of Prime Minister Levi Eshkol.
Golda's time in office was tumultuous. She had to contend with constant fighting along the Suez (1969-1970), the murder of Israel's athletes at the Munich Olympics (1972), and the Yom Kippur War (1973). Golda resigned and retired after that war. She passed away, at age 80, in 1978.
