When that old chocolate craving hits lately we've been diving into these cool dreamy-creamy chocolate-banana popsicles. I've always liked the idea of homemade popsicles, but somehow they're always a bit icy and never quite get that luxurious consistency I'm after. Well we've done it! We've finally landed on what is, at least for my family, the ultimate popsicle! These get extra bonus points because the flavor reminds us of the frozen chocolate bananas you get at the county fair or at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. Continue reading

Move over Fro Yo & Bubble Tea, Here Comes Taiwanese Sno Ice!
We recently happened upon Taiwanese Sno Ice. A fun, kind of odd (well at least odd looking) sweet treat which is made by freezing a creamy base into an ice block then shaving it super thin and then topping it with cookie bits, mochi, sweet sauces, sweet beans and even, according to the menu, aloe vera and tadpole. Tadpole? I didn't ask and I'm not sure I want to know about that one. Sno ice is really light and airy while still being creamy. Luca talked me into the chocolate, but somehow I think the fruity flavors like mango would be the tastiest.
I'm making a predication right here and now that sno ice will be the next frozen dessert craze. It's fairly low in calories compared to ice cream which mom likes and it looks like a crazy mochi spewing volcano which any kid would surely love. It's a lot of fun to go through the extensive checklist of toppings and create a personalized sno ice masterpiece. I vote for the addition of gummi dinosaurs. How perfect would that be on a frozen chocolate mountain-scape? When the foodies out there get ahold of this one, I can only imagine the possibilities: salted caramel, balsamic reduction, wasabi sprinkles, cocktail inspired flavors. Just you wait, it's coming and probably on a food truck.
We still love our fro yo, soft serve and bubble teas of course, but this is a fun new discovery definitely worth checking out. So far, I know of ony one place in San Francisco that specializes in sno ice, the very non-descript 37 Degress Cafe on Taraval way out in the outer Sunset, but we've heard some buzz about a place in Chicago called Cloud 9. Let us know if Sno Ice has landed where you live.

Pomegranate Ice is Nice!
The rain has lifted (at least temporarily) and the glorious sunshine this week has got us thinking about cool, refreshing desserts.
Granita(or Italian ice) fits the bill perfectly. It's incredibly light and refreshing and doesn't require any special equipment like an ice cream maker or popsicle molds. Once you make it, it can hang around in your freezer indefinitely, and requires no cooking or particular skill to make. We've tried countless varieties from espresso to meyer lemon to cardamon-plum. While pink grapefruit is still my personal reigning favorite, pomegranate (or "purple ice cream" as Luca calls it) might just be the current runner up. The color is absolutely gorgeous and the flavor is super delish — like a grape snow cone, but way, WAY better — and not an artificial color or flavor in sight. This is so easy that even a preschooler like Luca can do most of the work and making it gives him the chance to get his hands on the citrus squeezer and the whisk, his two very favorite kitchen tools.
Give it a try and experiment with you favorite flavors!
Pomegranate Granita
- 2 cups pomegranate juice (fresh if you're ambitious or bottled. If juicing the fruit yourself, you will need to let it settle so you can strain off the sediment that accumulates)
- Juice of 1 large orange
- Juice of half a lemon
- 1/2 cup sugar (or to taste)
- Mix all of these ingredients well in a plastic container that has a lid (wide and shallow is better, but you can get by with a 32 oz. yogurt container). Taste and adjust the flavorings to suit your taste.
- Put the lid on and pop it in the freezer.
- Mix the granita with a spoon every half hour until it is slushy and semi-frozen (3-4 times). Keep covered until ready to serve.
- To serve, scrape the fully frozen granita with the tines of a fork and serve in pretty little glasses or espresso cups.

The animation studio behind Wonder Showzen and Ugly Americans is turning to Indiegogo to fund a new animated movie. Titled The Adventures of Drunky, the R-rated feature stars Sam Rockwell, Jeffrey Tambor, Steve Coogan, Nina Arianda, Dave Attell, and Tyler the Creator and centers on "Drunky (Rockwell), a barfly who finds himself in the middle of a cosmic bet between God (Tambor) and the Devil (Coogan) over the fate of the Earth. With his life destroyed, Drunky must travel through Heaven and Hell to rescue the girl he loves (Arianda) and save the world. Assisting Drunky on his quest are an alley cat (Tyler The Creator) and a demon (Attell)." Noël Wells, Abby Elliott, John Leguizamo, Jon Glaser, Jay Pharoah, James Adomian, Larry Murphy, Rachel Butera, and Randy Pearlstein round out the voice cast. The film will be directed by Aaron Augenblick, and if it's fully funded on Indiegogo, the producers claim it will make the first animated feature film produced in Brooklyn. Here's more from the project's Indiegogo page:
The budget to finish our movie is $2 million. While that may sound like a lot, it's actually an extremely low budget compared to other animated features being made. On average we are talking a WHOPPING $150 MILLION! But by working on an independent budget we don't need to answer to any studio "standards and practices" and can produce the movie we really want to make. Our $100,000 target is our minimum viable goal to get to the next step of production (design and thumbnails, specifically). But we want to smash through this to finish all the other necessary elements for the movie.
Head over to the Indiegogo page to contribute, and check out the campaign video featuring Jeffrey Tambor and Tyler The Creator below:

South Korea chooses Swedish company Hexicon for an offshore wind commitment
Posted on June, 21, 2018
Hexicon AB today has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Busan Techno Park and Renewable Energy Center in Busan in South Korea. Korea in general and Busan in particular have high ambitions to develop offshore wind power with recently announced act of support for floating wind.
- We are of course proud to be chosen by Busan Techno Park to develop our unique offshore technology for the Korean market, says Henrik Baltscheffsky, CEO Hexicon AB. Advantages of placing wind turbines at favorable wind spots independently of water depth and of having several turbines on one platform reduce the environmental impact and contribute to decreased cost of electricity production, Henrik Baltscheffsky adds.
Hexicon with the Korean partner Coens Co Ltd and Busan Techno Park have already received the grant from Korean Business and Energy Agency to investigate how multi-turbine platforms can be adapted to local conditions in Korea. Hexicon provides complete drawings enabling South Korean shipyards to build multi-turbine platforms in series. The technology is patented and makes it possible to upscale it and enable the whole industry to serve the needs of other markets. - This is a breakthrough for our technology, says Henrik Baltscheffsky, CEO Hexicon AB.
For further information, contact Hexicon AB – Henrik Baltscheffsky, CEO at email@example.com

CalEITC4Me is a public-private partnership to spread awareness of the first-ever state Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) that puts more money into the pockets of hundreds of thousands of Californians. As CalEITC4Me became a national leader in EITC outreach over the last few years, we designed a report documenting their successful results.
While the primary audience for this piece was activists, publicists, lobbyists, politicians, and the like seeking ways to reduce poverty nationwide, one of the main goals was to convince more states to introduce the EITC at the state level, since only 29 states currently provide it to their citizens. Another key objective was to increase awareness of the EITC within California since only a portion of people who qualify actually apply and because more people have become eligible in recent years—now nearly 2 million working families.
We've also helped the CalEITC4Me team with video, social graphics, flyers, and ads in a variety of languages (see below).

'Bumping into' epileptic symptoms
We suggest watching the videos below, which show real people having a seizure, in order to better understand the nature of this major epileptic symptom and recall what you learned in previous steps.
The content of the videos might provoke emotional distress because of the reality of events. Don't worry if you decide not to watch them. They are not essential to complete your learning of the disease. If you prefer not to watch the videos or if you do not have access to youtube, each video is preceded by a short description.
The first video shows an adult man having a tonic-clonic seizure with convulsions characterized by jerking of the limbs. He lies on the floor without consciousness and another person helps him to roll onto his side. When the person with epilepsy regains consciousness he is reassured. The seizure lasts almost one minute.
This is an additional video, hosted on YouTube.
In the second video an adult woman, has a tonic-clonic seizure on the sofa. She does not lose consciousness during the seizure but, instead, she loses it at the end of it. A man supports her during the seizure, removes her glasses, holds her head, makes her lie down on the sofa. When she stands up after the seizure she is still confused and unstable.
This is an additional video, hosted on YouTube.

Best luxury SUVs 2020
The best luxury SUVs are as practical as they are classy and as desirable as they are relaxing to drive. Here we count down the top 10 – and reveal the ones to avoid...
An increasing number of car buyers are shunning prestige saloons in favour of luxury SUVs, drawn in by the appeal of their elevated driving positions, rugged looks and upmarket interiors.
The best also offer a cosseting ride, punchy performance and the sort of refinement that makes long journeys effortless. So, here we count down our top 10 – and name the luxury SUVs that are best avoided.
And remember, if you like the look of any of these models, then we can help you buy one for a great price through our free New Car Buying service.
Range Rover
What Car? Target Price from
RRP from £83,790 to £179,715
See new car deals Save up to £8,874 with What Car?
Read new car review
The Range Rover is one of the great motoring icons and every bit as compelling a proposition today as it was when it was first introduced more than 40 years ago. Our recommended SDV6 diesel engine has more than enough shove for everyday driving, while even entry level Vogue models come well equipped.
- Superbly comfortable and refined
- D350 diesel has plenty of low-down flexibility
- Prodigious off-road ability
- Expensive to buy
- Thirsty petrol engines
- Reliability a concern
Range Rover Sport
What Car? Target Price from
RRP from £65,295 to £114,915
See new car deals Save up to £5,634 with What Car?
Read new car review
The second Range Rover to make the list is the Sport, which is based on the full-sized Range Rover. It's no surprise, then, that it's a fantastic car for covering long distances, with a smooth engine and a relaxed ride. What's more, the interior is luxurious and generously equipped, and there's the option of seven seats.
- Impressive refinement
- Comfortable ride
- Sumptuous interior
- Expensive to buy
- Poor reliability record
- Infotainment system is slow and fiddly
Audi Q8
What Car? Target Price from
RRP from £67,050 to £106,240
See new car deals Save up to £7,199 with What Car?
Read new car review
Despite sitting at the top of Audi's now extensive SUV range, the Q8 is a fraction smaller than the Q7, its raison d'etre being its outlandish style and presence, a corollary of its sloping roofline, wider stance and massive and purposeful front grille. Yes, the Q8 is expensive, but it's also beautifully made, wonderfully refined and boasts an opulent and spacious interior.
- Spacious interior
- Fantastic build quality
- Very quiet
- High list price
- Fiddly infotainment system
- Average warranty
Mercedes GLE
What Car? Target Price from
RRP from £57,790 to £110,523
See new car deals Save up to £6,247 with What Car?
Read new car review
Some rivals are more practical and better to drive, but the Mercedes GLE has a dazzling interior and, on air suspension, is a comfortable cruiser. Go for the 400d and you also get one of the best diesel engines around: it blends effortless performance with good fuel economy, and is both smooth and quiet, even under hard acceleration.
- Swanky looking interior
- Quiet cruising manners
- Loads of second row legroom
- Rivals have a bigger boot
- Cramped third row seats
- Not exactly sharp to drive
Volvo XC90
What Car? Target Price from
RRP from £54,400 to £73,970
See new car deals Save up to £5,122 with What Car?
Read new car review
The latest version of Volvo's XC90 is enjoyable to drive and much smarter than its predecessor inside, yet it remains every bit as practical, with flexible seating and a huge boot. Only average refinement and a slightly unsettled ride stop it making the top four here.
- Classy interior
- Seven seats come as standard
- Plug-in hybrid options
- Unsettled ride
- Road and suspension noise
- Fiddly infotainment system
Land Rover Discovery
What Car? Target Price from
RRP from £48,015 to £71,120
See new car deals Save up to £4,306 with What Car?
Read new car review
The latest Discovery is more practical than any of its rivals, but it's also great to drive and even pretty good value for money and slow to depreciate. Much like its predecessor, the all-new Discovery is a whopping great seven-seater. It also has lots of ingenious storage spaces, including two gloveboxes and a hidden compartment behind the dashboard air-con control panel.
- Brilliant off road
- Roomy third row space
- Attractive PCP deals
- Audi Q7 is classier inside
- Average to drive on road
- Fuel economy and CO2 emissions

BMW's original X5 was one of the first road-focused 4x4s, and this latest model sticks closely to that car's winning formula, with decent practicality and sharper handling than most rivals. On the inside, there's plenty of space five, a large boot and a commanding driving position. The optional third-row seats are cramped, though.
- Fantastic plug-in hybrid version
- Great to drive
- Classy, well-designed interior
- Expensive to buy
- Third row of seats costs extra
- Relatively small boot
What Car? Target Price from
RRP from £75,110 to £114,975

Read new car review
Big, bold, comfortable, and with a luxurious interior – the X7 is a very worthy recent addition to BMW's lineup and the luxury SUV class. It's also one of the most practical cars in the class; even six-footers will have plenty of space in the third row, while the boot is enormous when those seats are folded away.
- Super quiet and comfortable
- Incredibly spacious and practical
- Outstanding infotainment system
- There are cheaper alternatives
- Feels its size and weight on the road
- Looks won't be to all tastes
Range Rover Velar
What Car? Target Price from
RRP from £46,110 to £71,020
See new car deals Save up to £3,902 with What Car?
Read new car review
With prices starting at around £45,000, the Velar bridges the gap between the cheapest Range Rover, the Evoque and the Range Rover Sport. It's the most road-biased Range Rover ever, even though it's still incredibly capable in the rough stuff. Just bear in mind that you have to step up from the base model to S trim to get sat-nav, a properly punchy stereo, a rear-view camera and leather rather than cloth seats.
- Decent economy with the D180 diesel
- Massive boot
- Good off road
- Average rear leg room
- Slow-witted infotainment
- Some cheap plastics inside
Audi Q7
What Car? Target Price from
RRP from £56,935 to £96,880
See new car deals Save up to £7,489 with What Car?
Read new car review
Audi's flagship 4x4 is the best luxury SUV you can buy. It's relaxing to drive, comfortable to sit in and pleasantly efficient to run, while its interior is plush enough to compete with models that cost twice as much. As if all that weren't enough, the Q7 is very practical, offering more than enough space for families and their luggage and seven seats as standard.
- Smooth and powerful engines
- Pillowy ride in Sport and S line trims
- Stunning interior quality
- Rivals have better infotainment systems

Jeep Grand Cherokee
If you'll be regularly going off road, then the Grand Cherokee is certainly a capable mud-plugger. Trouble is, it's not especially impressive on the road, and there's no seven-seat option, either. Read our review
Maserati Levante
The Maserati Levante is spacious and well equipped, but the driving experience doesn't live up to the badge's promise. The diesel engine is noisy, the handling stodgy and the ride bumpy. Read our review

So hello and I'm sure goodbye because you probably will never watch me again after this but please don't go please to just subscribe and stay on my channel forever.

I wish I never gave Miranda lipstick; I hate superhero movies; still have hope that my Beanie babies will be worth something someday, there are like five boxes full of Beanie babies in my mother's garage right now with the tag protectors still on; I don't floss; I've never bought body wash, I just shampoo my hair and let it drip down my body; I do not exercise; I don't drink water like it's a miracle if I have half a glass of water a day; I haven't been to the dentist in three years; I think every single time I get my blood drawn; I spend way too many hours on Twitter and I know way more than you think; I don't wear dangle earrings only because I'm afraid someone will grab them and rip them out of my ears; I shave it everything, ohhh; I talk to myself constantly; in the last year I've spent a lot of nights crying myself to sleep.

I drink orange juice straight out of the carton, I drink milk straight out of the carton; I slept naked once and my cat woke me up and licking my butthole; I dropped my makeup brush in the toilet once and took it out rinse it off and used it on my face.
There you go that's 50 things that I should probably never admit on the Internet and I just did.
Let me know if you guys can really do you do any of these things that I should never have admitted.

text: Fellow Oratan Axe Owners, or Devs, what's the 'secret' to auto loot passive unlock? As far as the autoloot unlock on the oratan axe goes, it's appears going up roughly .03 % or so on the bar for every loot pill popped... and it only seems to go up when your avatar eats the pill, not in the act of actually auto looting when the pill buff is active... I have several pills from buying webshop boxes, but from tt each pill is 50 pec... so unless there's some 'trick' to it seems that roughly 3 pills need to be eaten by avatar per percent of the bar (at .5 each from the TT pills that's what, 150 ped or so for 300), and will cost roughly 300 or more hours of in game time if you were to actually go from zero percent to 100% since the timer on the buff freezes when you log out? Am I missing something? Support case indicates that the system is working as intended, but it seems to me that that is one hell of a punishment in time requirements on a participant if it really is working as intended if the intention is to have a real human participant be in game for over 300 hours real time, i.e. over 7.5 work weeks, assuming a work week in real life is 40 hours' just to unlock the prerequisite on this pet. (won't cost me that much time, since the bar is already in progress since I bought the pet at level 9, but still, that seems insane, so I'm posting here to see if there's some 'trick' to it that I'm missing that other axe owners have discovered to get that unlock prerequisite completed any faster?)

As a contribution to the discussion of different aspects of Africa-Asia relations over time in this volume, the present chapter aims to highlight the role of Islam in forging linkages between Africa and Asia. Taking as a point of departure that Islam's bridging role has taken on different forms at different times and is constantly evolving, the chapter analyses a particular form of Islamic 'bridging' that emerged in the 1970s, namely Islamic humanitarianism, relief and development support. The specific ways in which Islamic relief has nourished African-Asian relations will be discussed as well as its consequences and prospects.
