Beliefs,values and attitudes
1. A belief is an internal feeling that something is true, even though that belief may be unproven or irrational I believe that there is life after death. A value is a measure of the worth or importance a person attaches to something; our values are often reflected in the way we live our lives. I value freedom of speech, or I value my family. An attitude is the way a person expresses or applies their beliefs and values, and is expressed through words and behaviour. I hate school. 2.

Wife, mother latest to be indicted in federal fraud case connected to polygamous Kingston Group and Washakie Renewable Energy
Content: Rachel Kingston, 63, was charged with five counts alleging fraud, money laundering and obstruction of justice. The charges could amount to 60 years in prison. She is the mother of Jacob and Isaiah Kingston. Sally Kingston is charged with one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and one count of money laundering. She faces up to 40 years in prison. The two women surrendered over the weekend but were not booked into jail. They appeared in Salt Lake City’s federal court with an attorney Tuesday morning for an arraignment. Rolwing wanted the women to post a $10 million bond — the same amount Jacob Kingston has offered to leave jail pending trial — and sought to bolster his argument by explaining prosecutors’ view of the case to Judge Paul Warner. While Jacob Kingston might have been the public face of Washakie and the most culpable, Rolwing said, his mother drafted forms to submit to the federal government and showed others how to file false information. The move would have allowed the company to collect tax credits on biodiesel it did not actually produce.

Title: Minimalism Interior Design Style
Headings:
Professional Advice on How to Pick a Front Door
Content: The History of the Emergence of Style
Minimalism was developed in the second half of the XX century., appeared as the reaction designers to an abundance of contemporary trends. Fundamentals of minimalism taken from Japanese culture. The interior of traditional Japanese homes – Minka – is not like the decoration of European homes. The basis of the Japanese home is shed and timber supports latticed walls (shoji), pasted with rice paper, and tatami (mat). The only thing that attracts attention is a scroll with a painting or a poem, which is located in the niche; and a flower (or floral arrangement – “ikebana”) underneath. Japanese minimalism in the interior is the space of emptiness, the formation of a special area of contemplation, and detachment. European minimalism is less radical. Simplicity here is coupled with functionality.

The general principles of minimalist aesthetics were set at the beginning of the twentieth century: constructivist experiments with “pure” volumes and became the first experiments in schematization and geometrization of form and its complete liberation from superimposed elements. In painting and object design, a new, minimalist language was developed by Russian Suprematists and members of the Dutch movement De Stijl (1913-1931), led by Theo van Doesburg and Piet Mondrian. In opposition to the natural visual series, these artists declared the fundamental principles of geometry and tried to bring their abstractions to local color and ductile forms. In the palette of expressive means, they selected only the line, the outlines of the simplest figures, primary colors, light, and bright, but not vain contrasts.

7 Ways to Develop Humility in Your Life
Preparation By Roger Carr 1 Comment
Is humility on your list of leadership traits you want to develop? Humility is recognized as an important quality for leaders to possess. In the book Good to Great, Jim Collins identified it as one of only two leadership traits attributed to the success of the top Fortune 500 companies. If the humility of a leader can have a significant impact on the success of a company, don’t you think it could have an even greater impact in Christian ministry? The Bible describes benefits humility will provide to you and your small group ministry (see 3 Reasons Humility is Critical for Small Group Leaders ). God is clear about the need to be humble. “For the Lord takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with victory.” Psalm 149:4 (NIV)
But humility is commonly misunderstood. Being humble does not mean there is a lack of confidence.

Content: God is clear about the need to be humble. “For the Lord takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with victory.” Psalm 149:4 (NIV)
But humility is commonly misunderstood. Being humble does not mean there is a lack of confidence. It also doesn’t mean you allow people to walk all over you. I believe there are two main characteristics of being humble. First, you recognize that everything you have, including your successes, comes from God. Second, you put others before yourself. These characteristics are easy to recognize but difficult for leaders to put into practice.

These characteristics are easy to recognize but difficult for leaders to put into practice. Developing humility is usually a slow process because life transformation is typically slow. We need to learn what to do, apply what we learned, and keep applying it so it becomes a part of us. The change is hard to see in the moment. It is only when we (and others) look back over time that we see the change. We have to trust the process.

” Humility is the fear of the Lord; its wages are riches and honor and life.” Proverbs 22:4 (NIV)
Humility doesn’t happen without a healthy fear of God. It is not a fear that paralyzes us from living for Him. But it is a fear that acknowledges how great He is and that everything good comes from God.

” Humility is the fear of the Lord; its wages are riches and honor and life.” Proverbs 22:4 (NIV)
Humility doesn’t happen without a healthy fear of God. It is not a fear that paralyzes us from living for Him. But it is a fear that acknowledges how great He is and that everything good comes from God. That fear comes as we learn about Him. Continue to learn and remind yourself about who God is. If you need a starting point, consider by watching the video series The Holiness of God by R.C. Sproul. 3. Worship God
Make God your first priority.

Financial Values — Sufficiency, Sustainability, Appropriateness
Despite what it sounds like, having strong financial values doesn’t necessarily mean being wealthy or even having a lot of financial knowledge — a person with very little money can still be driven by financial values. The person with strong financial values desires accuracy, organization and discipline. He or she thinks about getting the best deal, and recognizes perks beyond pay, such as a retirement plan and health care, when assessing a job offer. Even if he or she isn’t formally investing, a person with strong financial values enjoys growing their money. Overview
What we think or believe about money
Even people without a lot of money can have strong financial values

Why You Need Disability Insurance
Disability insurance provides a source of income to people who are unable to work due to an accident or illness. Remember that your earning power is one of your greatest financial assets. ( Take SAM's free My Earning Plan course to learn more.) Without disability insurance protection, workers and their dependents are “living on the edge,” at risk of losing their homes and investments. If you need disability insurance, take a look at the details: The average disability claim lasts almost 13 months and mortgage foreclosures due to disability occur 16 times as often as they do for death. Yet, more than 40 percent of full-time workers do not have coverage in the event of a short- or long-term disability to protect against a loss of income. Research indicates that one-third of employed Americans will become disabled for at least 90 days at some point in their career. Yet, lack of disability insurance is a common financial error. Adequate disability policies generally need to be purchased individually from an insurance agent.

Adequate disability policies generally need to be purchased individually from an insurance agent. While some employers provide disability coverage, it is generally short-term and may replace only a small portion of a worker’s salary. In addition, if the employer pays for coverage, benefits are taxable. Disability insurance is especially critical for self-employed workers and those who lack the ability to “bank” employer-paid sick leave. Financial experts generally advise purchasing a policy to replace about two-thirds (60 percent to 70 percent) of a worker’s monthly income. Insurance companies usually don’t provide coverage above this or it would discourage people from returning to work.

Insurance companies usually don’t provide coverage above this or it would discourage people from returning to work. Two key features of disability insurance, that greatly influence its cost, are the definition of disability and the elimination period. “ Own occupation” policies are more expensive because they kick in when you are unable to perform duties of the job for which you are trained — which means, even if you’re still able to do other types of jobs, but you are not able to do your chosen profession, then you can collect on the disability insurance. On the other hand, “any occupation” coverage defines disability as the inability to do any type of work. Many insurers also offer “split definition” policies that use an “own occupation” definition for several years, followed by an “any occupation” definition later on. The elimination (waiting) period is the number of days after a disability begins before benefits are paid.

The longer the elimination period (for example, 90 days versus 30 days), the lower the premium for a specified amount (for example, $1,500 a month) of disability insurance. Read the fine print. Look for a disability insurance policy that is non-cancelable or guaranteed renewable and pays residual benefits to make up for lost income when a worker is unable to work at full capacity. For example, if an insured person goes back to work three days a week at 60 percent of full pay, the benefit would be prorated to reflect the actual amount of income lost. Review the recurrent disability clause that describes what happens if an insured person becomes disabled again from a preexisting disability.

Consider purchasing a cost-of-living rider to protect the purchasing power of monthly benefits. Also check provisions related to disability benefits provided by an employer disability policy or Social Security. Sometimes income from these sources will be considered part of the policy benefit. Consider purchasing a policy for the remainder of your working life (until age 65, for example).

Content: These factors sit on top of the primary task of content delivery and our need to assess what they have or have not learned. Assessment is one of the most important components of education, but not just in the summative or even intermediate sense of the term. Teachers ought to be assessing on a regular basis -- what is commonly called formative assessment -- in order to ensure that the students are grasping the content and are able to demonstrate their mastery in some fashion. Whether they use quick, simple checkings for understanding, such as choral response or head nodding, or something a bit more elaborate (like having students complete a one minute paper or a graphic organizer), teachers need to be collecting regular evidence of student learning before simply moving forward. And if the feedback demonstrates confusion, then a re-teaching (partial or full, to some or all students) is in order. Let’s be honest. For most teachers, assessment is the least enjoyable part of the job (faculty meetings and report cards notwithstanding). We would all rather be teaching, engaging and facilitating learning rather than go through the assessment process, particularly the grading component. But without frequent assessments, we cannot really know if we are achieving our goals and making an impact. This might mean moving forward despite not having all -- or most -- students on board.

We recommend two different vitamin B1 supplements. The first is for thiamine only, and the second is a B-complex supplement that contains vitamin B1 along with the rest of the B vitamins. B-complex supplements are very popular because the B-vitamins interact with each other while working to keep the body’s metabolism functioning optimally. Vitamin B1 Only – Click here to view. Vitamin B Complex – Contains B1 and other vitamins essential to your health – Click here to view. What Is Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) & Why Does It Matter? Thiamine is a vitamin essential to the operation of the human body and is very special in a rather meaningless way: it’s the first in the long number of B vitamins. The numbering of the B vitamins has to do with historical discoveries of various substances thought to be vitamins but later discarded or reclassified into other substances.

Content: it may be 120 kilometers per hour (approximately 75 m.p.h.) in parts and then suddenly change to 80 kilometers per hour (50 m.p.h.), so always keep an eye out for the number inside the round signage on the side of the highway. When planning your trip, check to see if your route has any toll requirements. Toll charges, which are based on the size of your vehicle, are listed at TII.ie, the website of Transport Infrastructure Ireland. The booths typically feature a human toll collector, a basket for exact change and an e-toll option, so plan ahead and decide which one you’ll be using. Driving on city streets in Ireland can be highly stressful or relatively easy depending on which city you’re in. Dublin is the most congested city in Ireland, and rush hour traffic in and out of the city center is challenging, even to the most seasoned driver. Most city streets feature roundabouts, one-ways, and road signs and signals that might be confusing for foreign drivers. While Americans are used to double yellow lines dividing the two sides of a street, in Ireland the lines are all white, which can be confusing.

Most of our customers ask us if paint protection films are the same with vinyl wraps. The truth is that represents a polyurethane clear compound, designed to protect vulnerable areas while driving and comes with two clear options: glossy or matte. This is entirely different from vinyl wraps as they are designed to offer a complete makeover to any vehicle. It is more affordable than a custom paint job but its price depends on how elaborate the graphics are. Therefore, it doesn’t alter your car’s appearance while vinyl wraps is meant to cover the entire vehicle to offer a fresh, new look. Of course, both are useful for any car, only if they are installed by a trained professional.

Crude oil pricing is often what influences heating oil prices the most. When looking at heating oil prices from the 2004-‘05 winter to the winter of 2013-‘14, crude oil represented 58% of the cost of each gallon of home heating oil. Distribution and marketing followed at 26% of the cost, and refining costs and profits accounted for the final 16%.Crude oil is a global commodity, so what drives crude oil prices tends to be large events or supplies that are large enough to be cost-effective when sent anywhere in the world. The crude oil market is very dynamic, and many forces compete to drive its cost up and down. Factors influencing crude oil prices include: Current supply and output. Until recent years, Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) often set supply through a quota system.

All of this means you’re likely going to see lower home heating oil prices relative to the late 2000s. Future supply and reserves. Large oil-producing and oil-consuming countries tend to have reserves of crude oil to keep their economies going in the event that oil prices spike.

The price of crude oil jumps when there is a larger demand, and that tends to happen at the beginning, middle and end of the year.

Content: Summer will also drive up oil prices as more Americans take to the roads for vacation. Political events and crises. War, natural disasters, political upheaval and new government leaders are all factors influencing crude oil pricing. For example, the “Arab Spring” unrest in 2011 pushed oil prices to a peak of $113 a barrel as unrest and protests rocked Egypt, Libya and Tunisia. They then returned to under $100 per barrel as things calmed down in June. Hurricane Katrina caused a large price increase in 2005 when it destroyed hundreds of oil and gas platforms and pipelines. 3. Supply and Demand
The law of supply and demand is a basic rule in oil economics and a major factor when it comes to price. Demand refers to the amount of a product consumers want and are willing to pay for. Supply refers to how much of a product is available.

Following is a factfile on plutonium, which Japan says has been found at very low levels at five locations at the stricken Fukushima nuclear plant: WHAT IS IT? Plutonium is a highly radioactive silvery metal that is used in nuclear bombs and nuclear power. It is a heavy and essentially man-made element, derived from the transformation of uranium through fission. Traces of two of its atomic variants, or isotopes, exist naturally. HISTORY
Plutonium was found by US scientists in 1940. The new element was named after Pluto, the god of the Roman underworld, and assigned the abbreviation of Pu in the periodic table. It is one of the most complex elements, for it is a metal yet does not conduct heat or electricity well. Only a slight rise in temperature makes it switch from solid state similar to cast iron to plastic malleability. FISSILE MATERIAL
Plutonium's military potential was swiftly recognised.

Only a slight rise in temperature makes it switch from solid state similar to cast iron to plastic malleability. FISSILE MATERIAL
Plutonium's military potential was swiftly recognised. It provided the material for the first nuclear device, detonated at Los Alamos in July 1945, and for the second nuclear bomb, "Fat Man," which was dropped on Nagasaki the following month. The first nuclear bomb, dropped on Hiroshima, used uranium. Not until after World War II were the discoverers of plutonium allowed to publish their findings. Plutonium's very high energy density also brought it into use in civilian nuclear power, especially after the 1970s oil shocks. ISOTOPES
Plutonium has 15 isotopes.

Content: You found that the backstory of “the American Dream” is also misunderstood. “The American Dream” has always been about the prospect of success, but 100 years ago, the phrase meant the opposite of what it does now. The original “American Dream” was not a dream of individual wealth; it was a dream of equality, justice and democracy for the nation. The phrase was repurposed by each generation, until the Cold War, when it became an argument for a consumer capitalist version of democracy. Our ideas about the “American Dream” froze in the 1950s. Today, it doesn’t occur to anybody that it could mean anything else. How did wealth go from being seen as a threat to the “American Dream” to being an integral part of it? The “American Dream” really starts off with the Progressive Era. It takes hold as people are talking about reacting to the first Gilded Age when the robber barons are consolidating all this power.

[The phrase] was redefined in the 1950s, and seen as a strategy for soft power and for [commercializing] the “American Dream” abroad. It was certainly an “American Dream” of democracy, but it was a very specifically consumerist version that said “this is what the ‘American Dream’ will look like.” By contrast with the earlier version, which was focused on the principles of liberal democracy, this was very much a free market version of that. How do the two phrases fit together? When I began this research, I didn’t think of them as related.

Content: In other words, ending the export of used electronics from the wealthy developed world won’t end the burning in Agbogbloshie. The solution must come from West Africa itself and the people who depend upon e-waste to make a living. At Agbogbloshie, the fastest, cheapest, and favored way to recycle copper from insulated wire is to burn it. ( ©Jon Spaull/ SciDev. Net)
Agbogbloshie is not a pleasant place to work. Most of the site is threaded by muddy lanes that cross in front of dozens of small sheds holding recycling businesses. Inside, owners, their families and employees manually dismantle everything from automobiles to microwave ovens. E-waste, defined as old consumer electronics, is actually a very small part of the overall waste stream in these lanes, filled with the clanking of hammers on metal. And phones, laptops and old TVs aren’t the only things that can be dangerous when recycled improperly. At Agbogbloshie, burning takes place at the edge of the site, and most of what’s burned is automobile tires, which are lined up for hundreds of feet and left to smolder, producing dangerous levels of carbon monoxide and other hazardous substances.

They contain everything from harness wires used in automobiles to USB cables. In Ghana and across the world, insulated wire is highly sought by recyclers big and small, who covet the metal but not the insulation. The task of the recycler is to separate the two substances as quickly and economically as possible.

Over the last half century, technologies have been developed to do that separation in an environmentally sound manner. But even the lowest-cost solutions tend to be too expensive for Ghana’s capital-poor recyclers. And if they were affordable, green methods would still be too slow compared to setting the wire on fire and burning off the insulation.

February 9, 2014
It's one of the most well-known effects of marijuana: the powerful surge in appetite many users feel after smoking or ingesting the drug, colloquially known as "the munchies." For medicinal users that have trouble eating due to chemotherapy, this can be one of the drug's biggest benefits. For recreational users, this benefit can also be rather enjoyable, if unkind on the waistline. But for years, scientists have struggled to understand how marijuana's active ingredient— tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC—stimulates appetite. A new study published today in Nature Neuroscience brings us a bit closer to solving the mystery. A team of European neuroscientists led by Giovanni Marsicano of the University of Bordeaux has found that, in mice, THC fits into receptors in the brain's olfactory bulb, significantly increasing the animals' ability to smell food and leading them to eat more of it. A big part of the reason why you might eat more food after using marijuana, the research indicates, is simply that you can smell and taste it more acutely. This effect of THC has to do with the underlying reason why the chemical affects the human brain so potently in the first place. Likely produced by the marijuana plant as a self-defense against herbivores who might feel disorientated after eating the plant and avoid it in the future, THC fits into receptors that are part of the brain's natural endocannabinoid system, which helps to control emotions, memory, pain sensitivity and appetite.

Our brains typically produce their own chemicals (called cannabinoids) that fit into these same receptors, so by mimicking their activity, THC can artificially alter the same factors in dramatic ways. The scientists began by exposing mice ( increasingly used in neuroscientific research because of the surprising amount of cognitive similarities they share with humans) to banana and almond oils as a test of sensitivity to scent. When they did so, the mice sniffed the oils extensively at first, then stopped showing interest in them, a well-known phenomenon called olfactory habituation. Mice that were dosed with THC, however, kept on sniffing, demonstrating an enhanced sensitivity to the scents. These THC-dosed mice also ate much more chow when given the chance, showing an increased appetite.

They found that even if these mice were given THC, it had no effect: They still habituated to the scent, showing that the drug's scent-enhancing powers involved activity in this region of the brain. In addition, these mice did not demonstrate an increased appetite when given the drug, showing that the "munchies" effect was dependent on olfactory lobe activity as well. The upshot of all this:

Because scent and taste are so closely related, it likely allows us to better taste flavors as well. This new finding is likely just a piece of the THC-and-appetite puzzle. Previous research has found that the drug also acts on receptors in a region of the brain called the nucleus accumbens, increasing the release of the neurotransmitter dopamine —and the sensation of pleasure—that comes as a result of eating while high. Other work has found that THC additionally interacts with the same sorts of receptors in the hypothalamus, leading to release of the hormone ghrelin, which stimulates hunger.

THC—and, by consequence, marijuana—does much of its work by manipulating the same pathways that the brain uses to normally regulate the senses. But perhaps most interesting is that the new study hints at a compelling metaphor for the way THC manipulates this natural system: it mimics sensations felt when we're deprived of food. As a final test, the researchers forced some mice to fast for 24 hours, and found that this drove up levels of natural cannabinoids in the olfactory lobe.

Not surprisingly, these starved mice showed greater scent sensitivity and ate much more too. Most intriguing, the genetically engineered mice with olfactory lobes that lacked cannabinoid receptors did not show increased scent sensitivity or appetite even when they were starved. This indicates that both THC and the natural cannabinoids that result from starvation are acting on the same neural pathway to allow us to smell and taste with greater sensitivity, and thus eat more. In other words, THC appears to give us the munchies by convincing our brains that we're starving. Tags

Content: He supported the restoration of the queen and was opposed to an annexation bill moving through Congress. He ordered a report on the overthrow, popularly called the Blount Report, and tried to start negotiations to put the queen back on the throne. Those negotiations fell through. To press the matter, the U.S. warships Corwin, Adams and Philadelphia steamed to Hawaii, aiming guns at Honolulu. Tensions rose as marines made preparations for a landing on the decks of the ships in public view, resulting in the so-called “The Black Week.” But the landing was just a bluff. Instead of continuing the push for annexation by the U.S., the coup leaders established the Republic of Hawaii with Dole as its president. They waited out the Cleveland administration, and in 1898, under William McKinley, the U.S. officially annexed Hawaii when the Spanish American War convinced Congress of the utility of having a Pacific naval base at Pearl Harbor. Hawaiʻi's Royal Descendants Continue to Make a Bid for the Hawaiian Throne
The descendants of Hawaiʻi’s monarchy still claim sovereignty over the islands, and some groups, including the Hawaiian Kingdom Government, want the U.S. to return the islands to its native inhabitants. Since the death of Liliʻuokalani, several people have claimed the Hawaiian throne.

Meet TOPGUN Radar Intercept Officer David “Bio” Baranek
It’s difficult to hear the phrase “TOPGUN” and not immediately have F-14 Tomcats zooming around in your brain against a rocking Kenny Loggins soundtrack
You were an F-14 radar intercept officer (RIO), like Goose was in the film. What were your primary flight responsibilities–and were you capable of piloting an F-14, if necessary?
Calm, cool and in control, that's the stereotype of the fighter pilot, right? What was the tightest spot you’ve been in?
As a former graduate and a former instructor, what kinds of things were done to really push the buttons of pilots selected for TOPGUN?
During your time as air-to-air combat instructor, what was the most important advice you passed on to your students?
As an RIO, regarding the type of pilot you’d rather fly with, are you a Maverick guy or an Iceman guy?
You were on board for some of the aerial stunts in Top Gun–so was that you onscreen behind one of the black helmets in one of the enemy fighters?
And how did you help Paramount with the dialogue?
Now with the increase of unmanned drones, do you think dogfighting is dead?
It appears that most of your experience was in the F-14. Is there another particular airplane in which you’re still craving some quality flight time?

Content: The primary flight responsibilities are spelled out in the F-14 operating manual. Those are navigation, communication and operating the weapons system. When the F-14 was designed, because of parts of its mission and state of automation, they still needed one guy to make the radar be most effective. In addition, the RIO shared responsibility for the safety of the airplane. And if we were in a dogfight, I shared responsibility . He’d keep track of the people he could, and he’d hand people off to me. In terms of piloting the plane, that’s easy. One, the Navy did not train RIOs to fly. And two, the F-14 had no flight controls in the back seat. That was not an option.

Understanding Real Estate Law and Real Property Laws
Real estate and real property law are the rules that govern land and the structures on it. Real estate law directly and indirectly impacts landlords, homebuyers, home sellers, renters and anyone who is using real property. There are a wide variety of real estate statues on the federal and state level but federal real estate laws may take precedence over local real estate laws. What Is Real Estate Law? Essentially, real estate law definition is any rule that tells you who can use a property but also how it can be used; it isn’t reserved for just finance contracts or the actual sale of a property. Real estate and real property law also govern the use of any structures on the land and it even governs how materials below the land can be used and by whom. This can be an extremely complex area of law because there are many aspects of the law that the layman doesn’t consider when engaging in a real estate transaction. There are many areas that real estate law covers.

Content: Essentially, real estate law definition is any rule that tells you who can use a property but also how it can be used; it isn’t reserved for just finance contracts or the actual sale of a property. Real estate and real property law also govern the use of any structures on the land and it even governs how materials below the land can be used and by whom. This can be an extremely complex area of law because there are many aspects of the law that the layman doesn’t consider when engaging in a real estate transaction.

Content: You can age meat two ways. You can dry age it by letting air circulating around it, creating a crusty exterior that will need to be trimmed off before you cook it. We’ll go through the step by step process later on in this guide, but this video does a great job showing the process for dry aging beef. Alternatively, you can wet age beef by leaving it wrapped in its packaging. Don’t worry, we’ll discuss the pros and cons of each approach in detail later. How Does Dry-Aging Work? When you age beef, enzymes that are present in the meat will start to break down the tough muscle fibers that are present in the steak over time. In addition, if you are dry aging your steak the flavor will improve over time thanks to enzymatic and bacterial actions, as well as oxidization of the fat on the steak. As time goes on your steak will develop a deeper, beefier taste. Eventually, the steak will begin to take on a pungent, cheese-like aroma as well.

There is no exact age you should aim for. When it comes to aging beef, the choice is 100% yours. However, the longer you age your beef will determine the outcome of your final cooked steak in terms of changes to tenderness and taste. You will need to age your beef at least 14 days before you see any real changes.

You need to use a large cut of beef because after you have aged the beef you’re going to have to cut away the hard outer crust. In theory, you could dry age a single steak, but by the time you’ve trimmed it after it has aged you will be left with an extremely thin steak that you will have a hard time cooking to medium rare. And if you’re going to go to all the effort you might as well make it worth your while! So save up before heading down to your local butcher. Wet Aging vs. Dry Aging
There are two ways to age beef: you can wet age or you can dry age. Both have their pros and cons, but they also produce two entirely different types of steak. Wet Aging
As we said previously when you leave a large cut of beef in its vacuum sealed package inside the refrigerator that is considered wet aging. This is something that will occur for some period of time to all cuts of beef you purchase in your supermarket, but you can extend the process at home if you wish.

By aging the beef inside the cryovac package, you’re able to get the benefits of the enzymes breaking down touch muscle tissue easily and making it tenderer. However, since the meat and fat are not able to oxidize outside the package, you will not improve the overall taste this way. On the plus side, you won’t have to use any special equipment to age beef this way. Just place the cryovac package in your refrigerator and you’re good to go. You also won’t have to trim off any hard exterior before you cook it either.

Content: Dry Aging
We briefly touched on it earlier, but dry aging is when you expose a large cut of beef to open air inside a refrigerator for a long period of time. While it is there enzymes will break down the tough muscle fibers inside the meat making it tenderer. At the same time, bacteria and oxidization will begin to alter the flavor of the beef so that it develops a rich, deep, beefier flavor. In other words, dry aging is a very controlled rotting. By the time you have aged your beef it will look somewhat like a raisin with a very hard exterior. That part will sadly be inedible and will need to be trimmed off to get to the good meat down below. Dry aging is not as simple as wet aging; you will need a dedicated space in the refrigerator (or even better, a dedicated bar fridge) plus some other pieces of basic equipment. How to Dry Age Beef at Home
Dry aging beef isn’t as simple as placing a steak on a plate and letting it sit in the fridge for a few weeks. You will need to invest in a few tools in order to do it properly.

Guide to Steak Thickness: Stop Buying Skinny Steak!
Content: That way when you’re trimming your end product, you’re only going to trim the fat off the top. Place your meat either on the aforementioned wire rack on top of the baking sheet inside the refrigerator, or if you have wire shelves inside the refrigerator, just place the meat directly on them and the baking sheet underneath. Place your small fan underneath your beef on the wire rack and turn it on. This is to allow air to circulate around your beef. Now you’ll have to wait at least 2 – 4 weeks to allow the enzymes inside the cut of beef and make it more tender. If you wait for 4 – 6 weeks you will begin to see changes to the taste and the beef take on a deeper, beefier flavor. Anything over 6 weeks and you’re going to begin to develop some funky flavors and smell from your beef. Lastly, once you have aged your beef for your desired amount of time, you’ll remove it from the refrigerator. The exterior will be covered in a deep red/brown rind and possibly a little mold. Using a sharp knife, trim off the fat cap and any hard exterior, and then carve your roast into thick steaks.

This is where all your hard work pays off! When it comes to cooking a nice thick steak, there are several ways to go about doing it, but the steak that has been dry aged to perfection only deserves the best method: the reverse sear. In traditional steakhouses, they would sear steaks using screaming hot broilers that get as high as 700°F to give the steak an unbeatable outer crust. Then they would finish them in a much cooler oven. The end result was a streak that had a great exterior crust and a perfect medium rare inside. The reverse sear flips that upside down and involves cooking first on a low temp before finishing with a hot sear.

Content: This mostly happens to the surface of the meat unless you inject the marinade. Certain fruit enzymes are great for breaking down proteins. Kiwis, papayas and Asian pears are some of the most popular marinade ingredients around the world. Be careful not to leave top sirloin in a marinade for too long, though, or the meat will start to become mushy. One to three hours should do the trick. Aging
Aging is another method that allows the proteins within the meat to break down naturally over time rather than chemically induced. Both wet and dry aging top sirloin steak will add to its tenderness and concentration of flavor, but it’s not always easy to find aged steaks readily available. Ask your butcher if you want to go local, or check online steak sellers like Crowd Cow. Be sure to check their aging process as this can vary from seller to seller. If you want to try your hand at aging your steaks at home, there are consumer kits available.

A graphic purportedly showing the leading causes of death in the United States during the first half of 2016 was widely circulated on Facebook in June 2016, its most eye-catching feature being that the number one entry was abortion while the lowest-ranked entry was murder by firearm: The list was problematic in several aspects, however. First of all, the displayed figures for 2016
are simply projections based on past trends, as up-to-date information of this nature simply isn’t available. The most recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) concerning causes of death tallies mortality data from 2014. Second, although this list (put together by the web site Romans322.com) relies heavily upon mortality data compiled by the CDC, that organization does not record abortion as a cause of death. The leading causes of death in the United States in 2014, according to CDC, were heart disease, cancer, and respiratory disease: Heart disease: 614,348
Cancer: 591,699
Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 147,101
Accidents (unintentional injuries):

In 59 voting districts in the Philadelphia region, Obama received 100% of the votes with not even a single vote recorded for Romney. (A mathematical and statistical impossibility).
In 21 districts in Wood County Ohio, Obama received 100% of the votes where GOP inspectors were illegally removed from their polling locations — and not one single vote was recorded for Romney. (Another statistical impossibility).
In Wood County Ohio, 106,258 voted in a county with only 98,213 eligible voters.
In St. Lucie County, FL, there were 175,574 registered eligible voters but 247,713 votes were cast.
The National SEAL Museum, a polling location in St. Lucie County, FL had a 158% voter turnout.
Palm Beach County, FL had a 141% voter turnout.
In Ohio County, Obama won by 108% of the total number of eligible voters.
Obama won in every state that did not require a Photo ID and lost in every state that did require a Photo ID in order to vote.

Claims of fraud have arisen after each of the last several U.S. presidential elections, especially since the 2000 election, the outcome of which hinged on a prolonged dispute over a victory margin of just 537 votes in the state of Florida. As one common example demonstrates, the election of 2012 was no exception in that regard: Most everyone suspected fraud, but these numbers prove it and our government and media refuse to do anything about it. As each state reported their final election details, the evidence of voter fraud is astounding. Massive voter fraud has been reported in
areas of OH and FL, with PA, WI and VA, all are deploying personnel to investigate election results. Here are just a few examples of what has surfaced with much more to come. * In 59 voting districts in the Philadelphia region, Obama received 100% of the votes with not even a single vote recorded for Romney.

It’s unclear what exactly is meant by the phrase, “what you pay AARP.” The organization has an estimated 38 million members, all of whom typically pay annual dues at $16 per year. As a 501 (c)4 tax-exempt organization, it also accepts charitable donations. Either way, any money paid to AARP through membership dues or donations does not go “directly” to the Democratic party. The AARP lobbies the government on behalf of causes that affect people aged 50 and older. Those activities may include taking a stand on health care and Social Security.

In terms of candidates and political parties, however, AARP’s official position is that it is non-partisan. The organization states it “does not support, endorse or contribute to political candidates or parties.” Instead, per AARP, the organization’s role in terms of election politics is “connecting voters to information about where the candidates stand on issues most important to them including the future of Social Security and other critical issues related to financial security, health and well-being.” We checked the AARP’s federal campaign finance data using the website Open Secrets, a project operated by the government accountability organization The Center for Responsive Politics. We found no contributions to any political candidates or parties, Democratic or otherwise, from AARP, the organization.

We found no contributions to any political candidates or parties, Democratic or otherwise, from AARP, the organization. However, contributions from individuals who work for AARP is another matter. “AARP does not have any record of direct contributions to political parties or candidates based on my review of federal campaign finance and tax filings covering recent years, but AARP’s officers [executives] and employees can still make political donations in a personal capacity, and contributions from donors listing AARP as their employer in Federal Election Commission records have primarily gone to Democratic candidates in recent years,” said Anna Massoglia, a researcher for The Center for Responsive Politics. AARP policy prohibits employees or officers from engaging in any personal political activity using AARP resources or during work hours. According to campaign finance data tracked by Open Secrets, individual donors associated with AARP made a total of $96,381 in political contributions as of this writing in the 2020 federal election cycle, the majority (87.45%) of those donations going to Democratic candidates. Massoglia said that as a 501 (c)4 organization, the AARP is allowed under U.S. tax code to engage in some political campaign activity.

For example, a 2018 AARP ad praised U.S. President Donald Trump on drug pricing policy. The organization has also supported upholding the Affordable Care Act, the landmark health care law signed by Trump’s Democratic predecessor, President Barack Obama. AARP spokesperson Jason Young told us by phone that the organization, as a 501 (c)4 non-profit, is prohibited by law from making political contributions. “ Not only does AARP not make donations of this sort, we never have and we don’t have a PAC,” Young added.

Content: He also noted later in his career that his defeat in the 1832 legislative election was the only time he “was ever beaten on a direct vote of the people.”) 1832: Also lost his job – wanted to go to law school but couldn’t get in. As noted above, Lincoln actually “lost his job” in 1831, and the notion that in 1832 Lincoln “wanted to go to law school but couldn’t get in” ( why he couldn’t get in remains unspecified) is both inaccurate and an anachronism. Lincoln did eventually become a lawyer, and he accomplished the feat in the manner typical of his time and place: not by attending law school, but by reading law books and observing court sessions. He was indeed interested in becoming a lawyer as early as 1832, but, as Lincoln biographer Donald wrote, “on reflection he concluded that he needed a better education to succeed.” 1833: Borrowed some money from a friend to begin a business and by the end of the year he was bankrupt. He spent the next 17 years of his life paying off this debt.

( Lincoln had no money for his half; he didn’t technically “borrow the money from a friend” but instead signed a note with one of the previous owners for his share.) Lincoln and Berry were competing against a larger, well-organized store in the same town; their outfit did little business, and within a short time it had “winked out.”

Lincoln and Berry were competing against a larger, well-organized store in the same town; their outfit did little business, and within a short time it had “winked out.” The debt on the store became due the following year, and since Lincoln was unable to pay off his note, his possessions were seized by the sheriff. Moreover, when Lincoln’s former partner died with no assets soon afterwards, Lincoln insisted upon assuming his partner’s half of the debt as well, even though he was not legally obligated to do so. Exactly how long it took Lincoln to pay off this debt (which he jokingly referred to as his “national debt”) in its entirety is unknown. It did take him several years, but not seventeen; nor, as this statement implies, was he completely financially encumbered until it was paid in full.

Content: The voice on the phone will say that your credit card has been charged a large amount of money for some order. Then, they’ll give you the “Amazon Support” phone number and tell you to immediately call if you didn’t make that purchase. The FTC recommends that if members of the public receive such calls, they should hang up, check their accounts for potential theft, and report the call to the business that the caller was impersonating. For the record, Amazon would not call customers asking for sensitive personal information, according to the company. Amazon customers can also check up on their account security by visiting appropriate links here. Keep Snopes Debunking

Under HIPAA Rules, Can Businesses Ask If You Have Been Vaccinated Against COVID-19? Where does HIPAA's privacy rule apply?
Content: BBC reported at the time that the annual membership price wasn’t yet being changed: Amazon has raised the price of monthly Prime memberships in the US by $2 to $12.99 (£9.40), in a bid to push more people to an annual plan. The annual cost of Prime, which includes two-day shipping and video streaming, was unchanged at $99. Amazon said the change does not affect the UK or other countries. Amazon has focused on boosting Prime subscribers, which its chief financial officer has called its “most important customer base.” However, three months later in April 2018, The Seattle Times also reported that, in addition to its monthly rate hike, the Amazon Prime annual membership price would also be increasing from $99 to $119. The tech giant’s Amazon Prime membership includes a wealth of shopping and entertainment benefits. As of January 2021, the monthly price for Amazon Prime in the U.S. was still $12.99, while the annual membership remained at $119. Keep Snopes Debunking
