Crispy Roasted Cauliflower
If you love cauliflower, you'll be thrilled with these quick, easy, crispy roasted cauliflower recipes. You can serve them as a side dish or as an addition to your favorite salad. They're gluten-free, low-carb, and vegan, which means they're also budget-friendly.
It's easy to prepare this vegetarian side dish, but you can't forget the crispy breading that keeps it so delicious. Cauliflower florets are breaded with a batter that resembles an American pancake mix.
For the best results, oil your cauliflower. This will ensure that your crisp roasted cauliflower is well-browned. Again, using olive oil is critical.
You can prep the cauliflower the night before you want to serve it, and it will still be delicious when you reheat it. A good rule of thumb is to make more than you think you need.
Baked Cauliflower Casserole
If you love comfort food, you will love this baked cauliflower casserole. It is made with a rich, creamy sauce topped with bacon. The bacon adds a sweet, smokey flavor to this recipe.
This delicious casserole is a great side dish for meatloaf or burgers. It is also great as a main course for the holiday season.
You can make this recipe with fresh or frozen cauliflower. Fresh cauliflower has a nutty, creamy taste that is very enjoyable. Frozen cauliflower needs to be thawed before using it.
Cauliflower casserole is a delicious side dish for any meal. It is great for picky eaters as well.
Creamy Cauliflower Cheese
A wonderful creamy cauliflower cheese recipe is easy to change your side dish for dinner. It's perfect for the holidays. You can even make it and store it in your fridge for up to two days.
To begin, you need to cut up your cauliflower. First, the florets should be cut from the thick central stalk. This can be done with a sharp knife. Once you've missed it, it should be rinsed and drained well.
Next, you'll need to melt the butter. Use medium to high heat to do so. Add half of the cheese and half of the garlic. Combine these ingredients with the heavy cream. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
Keto Cauliflower Lasagna
Cauliflower lasagna is a low-carb alternative to store-bought noodles. It's a dish that's big on flavor and comfort. And it only takes 15 minutes to prepare.
There are a few different ways to make cauliflower lasagna, but the most common is to pound cauliflower with some cream cheese. Then you can bake the mixture in the oven for a few minutes, slice it up and use it as noodles.
You can replace the traditional pasta with zucchini strips or eggplant to get the most out of your vegetables. You can also add meat or sausage to the dish. A slow cooker is a great way to simmer sauce for extended periods.
Nigel Slater's Fried Cauliflower
The game's name isn't a bottle of bubbly, but that isn't to say the name of the sex slayer isn't on your tongue. One of the better ways to make the most of it is to keep your hands off the swag. And while you are at it, try a few good old-fashioned shuffles. You'll have a much easier time figuring out which thugs to avoid. This is especially true if you are the type who likes to see your guests from a mile away. Hopefully, you'll have the requisite social skills for a change. Oh yeah, and a tad less swag, too.
Sesame Cauliflower with Ginger Sesame Sauce
If you're looking for a vegetarian meal that everyone will love, you must try sticky sesame cauliflower. It is made with ginger, soy sauce, and garlic and is crispy and delicious. You can serve it as a snack, a main dish, or even as an appetizer.
The recipe for this healthy vegetable is so simple that it can be made in just 20 minutes. It can also be gluten-free if you use tamari instead of soy sauce.
To begin, you need to cut the cauliflower into florets. Then, you must saute the ginger in sesame oil for about one minute.

Best Laptop For Computer Science Students
Top-10 Best Laptop For Computer Science Students reviewed - 2022 update
Mobility is important in every field of human activity. This also applies to IT professionals.
The work of many people is associated with trips to other cities and countries, where it is necessary to share the results of their work and exchange experiences. The choice of a high-quality and functional laptop, which has recently been practically keeping up with desktop computers, is very important for a system engineer. The ranking of the best laptops for computer science students (best laptop for computer science students) will help you make the right choice.
What characteristics to consider when choosing
When choosing a laptop, specialists need to pay attention to some important criteria that will affect the final result:
- Screen. First of all, attention is drawn to the dimensions of the display. The more, the better and easier to work with. Therefore, many experts prefer models with a screen of 15 inches or more.
- Keyboard. For an IT specialist, the keyboard is no less important. The buttons should be with a small stroke, which will speed up typing. Also, the sound while touching the keys should not be too loud. The main advantage of some models is the presence of an island layout of the backlit keyboard. This allows you to work at any time of the day or night in a dark room.
- Permission. It is best to choose FullHD (1920 by 1080 pixels). A display with a glossy matrix should immediately be excluded from the list, since the matte matrix affects the eyes less, therefore, they will be less tired. This factor is very significant, since programmers spend a lot of time on their work. It is also necessary to provide for the connection of other monitors, but many modern models have such capabilities.
- Battery. Battery capacity is important for those who often travel from laptops to business meetings and presentations. Charging should last for several hours of use. Many models are able to work autonomously for 8 hours or more.
- Disk. The capacity must be chosen depending on the preferences and tasks to be dealt with. With sufficient capacity, applications will be able to run smoothly, launch and switch quickly.
- Processor and memory. A laptop for professionals should be powerful, so the choice should be made in favor of at least 2-core processors. RAM must be at least 8 GB.

Dell XPS 15
Another powerful machine. Perhaps it is one of the best developments of Dell. Users can count on good acoustics, an improved keyboard, and a large and comfortable touchpad. Characteristics:
- improved 4-core Intel 9th generation processor;
- bright 15-inch display with a good resolution with an aspect ratio of 16 to 10;
- high autonomy - up to 18 hours of use;
- RAM - up to 8 GB, built-in - up to 256 GB;
- Capacious battery - charging is enough for 10 working hours.
- The only thing that can disappoint users is heating and noise during prolonged use.
Acer Aspire 5Slim
Relatively inexpensive model is attractive with restrained design and slim body. This laptop for computer science students is a reflection of a successful combination of weight, display, graphics, performance. Main characteristics:
- RAM - up to 8 GB, built-in - 1000 GB;
- weight - 2 kg;
- the battery is able to hold a charge up to 7 hours - a relatively small figure compared to other models, but for short trips this will be quite enough;
- 15.6 inch screen with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels.
What is Computer Science (CS)
Computer Science is the science of the methods and processes of collecting, storing, processing, transmitting, analysing and evaluating information using computer technology to enable its application for decision-making. In Russia, Computer Science is referred to as computer science, but the term may be used differently depending on the context.
There are similar fields such as data science or software engineering. Some of these may be considered part of Computer Science, but there is still a difference in terms: Computer Science is a broader concept. They study computer technology and information representation as a whole, rather than individual areas such as development.
A deep understanding of Computer Science requires a good mathematical apparatus. Unlike many applied IT fields, this field is strongly related to mathematics. Computer Science can be studied in higher education, in technical specialities dealing with information technology. But you can also learn it on your own.

Spamming group, River City Media, led by well known spammers Alvin Slocombe and Matt Ferrisi, has had its database leaked. Yesterday, details were released of a massive, illegal spam operation. The situation presents a tangible threat to online privacy and security as it involves a database of 1.4 billion email accounts combined with names, user IP addresses, and even physical addresses. Chances are that you, or at least someone you know, is affected.
The Guru reached out to the cybersecurity industry to get thoughts on the breach.
Robert Capps, VP of business development at NuData Security:
"It's critically important that we ensure that we continue our efforts to inform the public about their safety, and the fact that 1.4 billion records are compromised in this breach bear this out. As disheartening as this is, we saw the Yahoo! breach last year. At this point we shouldn't be shocked. We can all assume that personal records are being shared on the dark web – sometimes years after the breach occurs.
"Any breaches of personal information are of extreme significance and concern. With just a name and email address there are out sized risks from targeted phishing. Stolen consumer data can be combined with other personally identifiable information (PII) from other hacks and breaches to amass even more detailed profiles on users that are traded and sold for high value to hackers. These 'bundles' contain much more complete and increasingly dangerous information around specific individuals, meaning there are more opportunities for fraud to take place. For example, with enough data collected from separate breaches a fraudster can gain access to financial and geographical information with the intent to fill out a loan application or apply for a new credit card.
"User behaviour analytics can provide victims of this and other breaches with an extra layer of protection even after the hack has occurred. We need to put a stop to these fraudsters in a completely passive and non–intrusive way to us, the consumers. This is accomplished by learning over time how a legitimate user truly behaves in contrast to a potential fraudster using our legitimate information ripped from all these breaches. Without even interrupting a user's experience, fraud can be predicted and prevented from occurring. The only way we are going to stop these breaches is to devalue the data the fraudsters are going after, and we do this by truly being able to identify the identity of the user behind the device even when valid stolen credentials are used. "
Paul Calatayud, CTO, FireMon:
"In the recent River City Media Ggroup data leak, over 1.4 billion records may have been exposed. Not much information is being said as to the cause, but given that this was found by Chris Vickery, who often scans the internet for vulnerable Mongo DB assets and makes reference to lack of use of passwords, one can conclude that this data leak is a result of a misconfigured Mongo DB. Open source continues to be a critical source of innovation to many organizations. In this case, being used for motivations not so noble, the lesson to be learned here is that Mongo DB continues to be an easy exploit. Ensuring that your critical systems are secure and functioning under the policies that you intend is important. Applying intelligent security management to validate your builds – both system and firewalls – to ensure Mongo DB ports are not exposed will prevent these types of data leaks in the future."
Steve Gates, Chief Research Intelligence Analyst, NSFOCUS:
"Slowloris, released in 2009, is a nothing more than a script designed to slowly consume all available connections on a server. When all connections are consumed, the server cannot process any new connections; causing a denial of service condition. Known as a "Layer 7" denial of service attack, the most effective way to defeat Slowloris is to protect servers with anti-DDoS technology, that can easily detect and block a Slowloris attack. What is interesting here is that Slowloris was being used to help distribute as many spam emails as possible; before a victim server crashed or dropped all existing connections. Once again, this is a demonstration of the originality and persistence of spammers – that never ceases to amaze."
Chris Doman, Security Researcher at AlienVault:
"This is an extremely rare window into the operations of mass-spam campaigns. RCM's apparent admission that they ran denial of service attacks against Gmail servers to trick them into accepting spam is very serious. They are talking about risking the stability of some of the internet's core mail servers for profit. It's bizarre these admissions are coming from chat logs that RCM themselves accidentally leaked.
Whilst the scale of data potentially lost by RCM here is massive, it's important to note this data isn't reported to include credentials or abused by anyone other than RCM yet."
Matt Walmsley, EMEA director of Vectra Networks:
"Although it's difficult to take pity on spammers, River City Media's misfortune is a cautionary tale to business. Unsecured servers and databases are an open invitation to attackers who can use them to gain direct access to the company's most sensitive information and important assets. Worryingly, five per cent of IPMI manageable servers are 'secured' by commonly-used default passwords, 30 per cent have easily guessable passwords and only 72 per cent authenticate access. What's more, the UK is ranked 6th globally for exposed IPMI hosts, making it a tantalising target for hackers. As a baseline, businesses must password protect their confidential data, do away with default passwords and change those passwords regularly. The enforcement of password protection policies is essential."
Ondrej Kubovič, Security Evangelist at ESET:
"The Slowloris technique was used by the attackers to spam millions of victims and is not all that uncommon in the wild, as we have seen similar attacks on our honeypots. Note, however, that this is the technique used by the spammers to send out huge amounts of spam emails, and not the cause of the leak.
Any leak of this size is a losing situation. Mainly for the victims, whose sensitive data is publicly available and can thus be misused for various malicious acts. Just by brief overview of the types of data leaked, physical addresses and names can be used for identity theft. In effect, the leak has shown that the spam operators were technically incapable to store and backup the bulk of stolen data "securely"."

Cross border payment processor Flywire (NASDAQ: FLYW) will be reporting earnings today after market close. Here's what to expect.
Last quarter Flywire reported revenues of $56.5 million, up 52.9% year on year, beating analyst revenue expectations by 18.7%. It was an exceptional quarter for the company, with an impressive beat of analyst estimates and very optimistic guidance for the next quarter.
Is Flywire buy or sell heading into the earnings? Read our full analysis here, it's free.
This quarter analysts are expecting Flywire's revenue to grow 29.6% year on year to $87.8 million, slowing down from the 61% year-over-year increase in revenue the company had recorded in the same quarter last year. Adjusted earnings are expected to come in at $0.10 per share.
Majority of analysts covering the company have reconfirmed their estimates over the last thirty days, suggesting they are expecting the business to stay the course heading into the earnings. The company has a history of exceeding Wall St's expectations, beating revenue estimates every single time over the past two years on average by 24.2%.
Looking at Flywire's peers in the finance and HR software segment, some of them have already reported Q3 earnings results, giving us a hint what we can expect. Paylocity delivered top-line growth of 39.3% year on year, beating analyst estimates by 5.65% and Paychex reported revenues up 11.3% year on year, exceeding estimates by 3.5%. Paylocity traded down 4.25% on the results, Paychex was up 0.14%. Read our full analysis of Paylocity's results here and Paychex's results here.
Tech stocks have had a rocky start in 2022 and while some of the software stocks have fared somewhat better, they have not been spared, with share price declining 5.91% over the last month. Flywire is down 14.3% during the same time, and is heading into the earnings with analyst price target of $31.00, compared to share price of $18.28.
One way to find opportunities in the market is to watch for generational shifts in the economy. Almost every company is slowly finding itself becoming a technology company and facing cybersecurity risks and as a result, the demand for cloud-native cybersecurity is skyrocketing. This company is leading a massive technological shift in the industry and with revenue growth of 70% year on year and best-in-class SaaS metrics it should definitely be on your radar.

The Decommissioning of the USS Francis Scot Key SSBN 657
The Key was decommissioned in Hawaii on September 2nd 1993. There were few former shipmates in attendance and the ceremony was a rather low key affair. The men that served the Key in her last days have submitted information on those final days and you can read their stories below. If you were part of the decommissioning process at any point and would like to add some material to this section, please send it to Russ at ssbn657@ comcast.net.

Memories of De-Comm submitted by Ples Reynolds - Missile Tech 90 - 93 (July 8, 2008)
The fun of decomm had to be lived to be appreciated. I'm kind of thinking it was like Precomm. What do I remember about it besides all the junk that kept being pulled out of nooks and crannies. You could tell it had been around for a long time and 30 years of sailors hiding stuff and forgetting about it. Well we found it. The stash of adult magazines from the late 70's early 80's we found in the Lower Level Missile Compartment while pulling gas generators (the devices used to launch the missiles from the tube) I think tops the list for me.
My top 20 decomm memories are:
1) MT3 Duprel and others spending hours with a hammer and chisel to break free the screws holding the deck plates down in Middle Level Missile aft so we could offload the gas generators. Of course we could not just break the screws because the plates had to go back down so you had to sit there and hammer the screws around with a chisel until they came out.
2) Once the missiles were offloaded, filling the missile tubes up with potable water so we could be heavy enough to submerge. We got to go swimming in the tubes for a little while. Of course when we got to Hawaii and were tied up at the pier we only had one little dinky pump to get the water back out of those tubes and you had to keep the pump close to the water level so we had a rope tied to it so we could lower the pump down into the tube as the water level decreased. And Sub Pac told us the water was contaminated so we had to pump it into the sewer system on the pier. But after a couple of tubes it backed up and dumped into the harbor anyway. All this hassle over the water and possible eco damage but when I went to get rid of 50 (5 gallon) cans of termaline grease they told me to just throw it in the dumpster. Figure that one out.
3) The trip through the canal, and the Panamanians who kept trying to come onboard to handle lines and the Capt kept kicking them off.
4) The hope by most of the crew that since we were ahead of schedule after the canal transit that the Capt would drop below the equator for a minute. No such luck.
5) The day we pulled in to port and we surfaced miles out, the captain had a working party from all compartments dumping every haz-mat chemical they could find overboard and the OOD screaming because all the bags were not weighted down enough and some were floating.
6) Dumping 30 years of TDU weights over the side while tied up to the pier. Some of those things had not been moved in so long 8 or 9 of them would be rusted together and you had to get the whole thing up the hatch and roll them overboard.
7) I was the Repair Parts Petty Officer and one day I went to visit one of the fast attacks because I was trying to get rid of tools. I told them to come by in a couple of days but they showed up the next day while I was off the boat. They took everything in the missile compartment that looked like a tool even the torque wrenches that I was supposed to send back to SPO. The FTB1 was convinced I had made some kind of deal with the SSN crew and kept trying to find out what they gave me for the tools. Of course somehow I ended up being responsible for all the torque wrenches on the boat and shipped them all back by dumping them in a shipping crate. No wrapping, no packaging just one big pile of wrenches in a box.
8) While in Hawaii, living in barracks that were built in the 40's and had bullet holes in the wall from the Japanese attack (it used to be a hospital back then). But we had this big porch that went around the whole barracks and the one MT who got so drunk one night and decided to ride his bike on the breeze way and ran into the stairs going up to the second floor. He got up and went to bed (he had the top bunk) the next morning his knee was swollen up like a watermelon. He had shattered his kneecap the night before and did not feel it. Updated 11/15/2010 From Steve Lawrence: I have just found your site and it is great. Brings back a lot of old memories. I am the one in the decom stories that was the MT that shattered his knee at the barracks in Pearl Harbor, number 8 in the top 20. What a lot of crazy fun we had during that time.
9) Using a sledgehammer to bust up every locker on the Key. The recreation committee sold the aluminum and used to money to throw parties almost daily and buy all kinds of junk for the crew as souvenirs. They had all this money and the crew was getting smaller almost daily and of course they could not have any money at the end so they just spent it on anything and everything. We had hamburger and beer parties at the barracks almost daily. They paid for us to go to this place called the Royal Hawaiian, it was a great big pig roast, or when they underwrote the cost for anybody who wanted to take scuba lessons.
10) Buying a bike at the navy exchange and going off base for the first time on it and when I came back the guards told me I had to register it before I could ride it back on the base so I had to walk 4 miles back to the barracks to get a receipt and then walk back so I could get my bike back on base.
11) When you were on duty when we were in dry dock they would send somebody to the mess hall to get your food. You told them what you wanted, gave them the money and they got it. But we would always get burritos because you got to make it and it was only like $1.00 for one but after you made it, the thing was the size of loaf of bread.
12) Having to sit through endless hours of safety training for the dry dock and the one seaman who kept failing the tests you had to take at the end.
13) After the missile division went bye-bye I was moved to the supply dept. because I was qualified as a duty storekeeper and there was only 2 SK's onboard and they wanted to go to 1 day on, 2 days off like the rest of the crew, which I liked because it meant I did not have to stand any watches just once every three days spend the night on our barge in case somebody needed a part. But the best part was we had a huge office that nobody to could get into. So we had the stereo system out of the wardroom set up in there and you could listen to music and sleep in the office instead of down in crews berthing.
14) Getting our hard hats, which looked just like everybody else's onboard the sub. So me and one of the SK's got those little plastic sticky letters and put out names on the back of the hard hat. We got chewed out over that because it was unauthorized but the next day the XO wanted us to order more letters so he could do his hard hat like that, then the chiefs wanted it done.
15) The MT who shall remain nameless who went to get a tattoo and passed out in the chair while getting it (he was sober, not drunk).
16) The A-Ganger who got banned from the topside watch because he had tattoos all down his arms and it did not "Look Military".
17) The chief who popped positive for opium during a drug test, they kept testing him until he was clean. Told us it was because he had a poppy seed bagel the morning of the first test.
18) Watching the dock workers take everything not welded down as a souvenir, while we kept being told to not take anything, yeah right.
19) The 2 or 3 weeks we had to keep standing MCRP (Missile Compartment Roving Patrol) after we got Hawaii because the Weps would not let us secure it. We just had to walk around the compartment with a guard belt on and our guard orders in our pocket. No logs to take, nothing running in the compartment. Finally the below-decks watch took over the fire watch.
20) Watching them cut huge holes in the Key to get the equipment out. It would take hours for them to cut through the HY-80. I had a piece of the hull but it disappeared out of my sea bag while I was flying back to Atlanta. So somewhere out there an airport worker has a piece of the Key.
I never thought I would - but I do miss those days sometimes. Of course the new Navy has made those the good old days. When I got to my new sub USS Nebraska SSBN 739 (G) I could not believe the differences between the two boats. Not the make of the subs or size but the way the crew acted toward each other. On the Key no matter the personal problems I may have had with any of the other MT's, I always watched their back and they watched mine but the new boats seemed to be all politics and seeing how many times you could screw over the other guys to help you get ahead or look better to the Captain and that was one of the reasons I left when my time was up instead of staying like I wanted to initially.

INTERVIEW: KATHRYN DEAN, September 2016
New comer Kathryn Dean has released an EP, a full-length CD Hit The Lights, and is currently out on tour with Tiffany. While promoting the last release, Kathryn is also road testing songs for her next disc with an acoustic set that is fun and engaging, as well as full of great songs sung with a rich voice. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Kathryn when she played the Lexington Village Theatre in Lexington, MI and again on the phone a couple days later to continue our discussion…
Toddstar: Kathryn, how are you?
Kathryn: I'm doing well. How are you?
Toddstar: Good. Thank you so much for doing this.
Kathryn: No problem.
Toddstar: Again, let me thank you so much for your time both Sunday night at the show and then again, today. I know you're super busy right now.
Kathryn: Or course.
Toddstar: Well, let's talk about last Sunday. Let's start with the show in Lexington. What did you think of the show itself and the venue and the crowd?
Kathryn: That was an awesome crowd definitely. It was a great show on Tiffany's part too. The venue is just beautiful. I think it's definitely one of our favorites. It was just a really awesome show and to be able to go out and meet the fans, it was a great set up in terms of being able to meet the fans after the show. Some venues you have to sell merch, do meet and greets out in the lobby, and people are afraid they're going to lose their seat or that they're not going to know when the show is starting. It's nice when it's just right in there and you can meet with people after the show.
Toddstar: Very cool. How do you feel your music was received? You went in there and some of the people knew who you were, but you were kind of winning over a whole new crowd. How do you feel that went for you?
Kathryn: Hopefully it went well. It's hard to tell sometimes. You know a lot of times we base it on merch sales and from that standpoint I think we did really well. I think we matched up really well with Tiffany musically as well, so that's kind of that's the deal when you're opening for an established act. You know you're going on and some people are like "I didn't want an opening act. I just want to see her. I don't want to sit through a show." It's kind of fun to watch people be won over and are okay with it. I think it's all about acquiring fans from similar artists. What's great is that my fan base from an age perspective and demographics in general, I have a pretty wide variety of fans and so that's really nice to kind of be able to interact with fans because a lot of times with social media you get to talk to and interact with a younger audience, but you actually go out to shows, it tends to be more adults so that's kind of fun to be able to interact with them as well.
Toddstar: The opening line in my review about your portion of the show references how you opened the show and immediately let the small town know that a big voice is in the area.
Kathryn: Oh, thank you.
Toddstar: When it came to vocal training, how much of this is just natural and how much of this is years and years of training, cultivating the strong, rich voice you have?
Kathryn: You know I think tone in terms of my voice, there's a warmth to my voice and I think that kind of thing is natural and that's something that you're born with. I think in terms of strengthening the voice and kind of having a voice that can really carry these notes, that's definitely training so it's definitely a bit of both. Again, you start out with something that's potential and then you kind of work on it and develop your craft until it's good to go.
Toddstar: You're definitely developing a craft. Even your banter between songs with the crowd seemed to go over really well and it showed how well you control the flow of your portion of the show and the interaction with the audience.
Kathryn: That's definitely an acquired skill or talent or whatever you want to call it. Especially as an up and coming artist, my fear always seems to be that they don't care what I have to say; just sing and then they'll like the songs or they won't, or just win them over with the voice and then move on to the next song as soon as possible. But you know touring has kind of taught me that people want to get to know you. It's something that Tiffany has been telling me too. Don't be afraid to talk to the audience because they want to feel like they are friends with you and they want to have that connection. Don't worry about speaking in front of people, just kind of be yourself and show off your personality because that's what wins people over as well.
Toddstar: What also won them over and you mentioned earlier about the merch booth, it was cool to see people buy the CD, say hello, and get an autograph. To a lot of people that's a really big deal. How important is that to you to make that one on one connection?
Kathryn: I think it's huge. I think from a business stand point, when you're out there meeting the fans, they definitely are more inclined to come check out your merchandise because they want to tell you they liked the show and then you can say, "if you really liked it, you know we are selling CD's and flash lights and stuff." Then you know from a personal or performer's stand point, I think it's huge. I think it's because I can't be doing what I want to be doing and living my dream without supportive fans and they're always there for me so I should be there for them too.
Toddstar: You mentioned that you're selling CD's – the EP and Hit The Lights, which came out in 2015, but is still pretty new to a lot of people.
Kathryn: Yeah.
Toddstar: I like that you showcased quite a few of the songs on the disc, especially my favorite "Rhythm and Booze." You're also playing some new stuff that isn't out there yet. How do you feel those are coming across, being road tested kind of for the first time?
Kathryn: I think we started doing those two on the last tour we did and it's great to see how they are perceived, because you work on them in the studio and there all these different elements and layers of the tracks and different instruments. But then when you go out and it's just guitar and vocal with some foot percussion, it really separates the men from the boys I guess is the best way to describe it. It kind of shows you whether or not the song is really solid, because I think if it doesn't do well in that acoustic environment then you know the song isn't strong enough.
Toddstar: We spoke about that the other night; we spoke about your songs, and we spoke about your limited catalog so far. You do have a new one coming with the new songs, you've done the EP, and you've done Hit The Lights. What's it's like for you to know that someone came up and handed you some money after enjoying your show enough that they wanted to take it home with them. What's it like for you to know that they're taking that piece of plastic home and they're going to listen to you over and over?
Kathryn: That's always so cool and so humbling. My manager, until I told him to stop, used to say "For ten dollars you can take Kathryn Dean home with you" and I kept telling him "No, that sends a bad message. Kathryn Dean is not going home with you for only ten dollars. Got to wine and dine me." [laughs] I'm kidding. It's just so cool, it's because I think not everyone gets to live their dream and we've been fortunate enough to be able to do that. It hasn't really hit me that much yet. It's really cool when people are say they want your autograph or want to take a picture with you. It's always just such a kind of weird, humbling, and just awesome experience.
Toddstar: You're touring with Tiffany as we discussed, but you have toured with John Waite, Howie Day, and other male performers. What's it like being out this time on the girl power tour so to speak?
Kathryn: It's definitely very different. As we talked about, you do have to step up your game because you know when there's a guy, there's no direct comparison versus when you're with another woman. There is that extra pressure to nail your performance, which I love because I think competition breeds improvement. Given Tiffany's been so unbelievably supportive and showing me the ropes of what it's like to be a woman in the industry, I'm so honored that I'm one of the people that is allowed to have that.
Toddstar: Another thing you do and anybody who follows you on Twitter or Facebook see that you're always putting videos up of different covers. We talked about the Mumford and Sons cover which is one of my favorites that you've done. You've had a couple of days to think about it now, what song is still out there that you're waiting to do?
Kathryn: I think it is hard to pick one, because I think people have a limited attention span, so there are some mash ups that we do. I'd love for people to be able to hear those. I don't know if Instagram is kind of the place for that or that's more of a live show kind of thing, but some of our cool mash ups – I'd love for people to be able to hear. It will be interesting to see how those work out. We're posting longer covers right now because some you just want to do the hook and then it's done.
Toddstar: How was the performance at Billboard this morning? You went and did some stuff for Billboard.
Kathryn: Awesome. It was so much fun. It was such an honor to be there. I think it's every artist's dream to be able to be in the room with the people at Billboard. It's so crazy and it's very humbling. I feel like this whole thing feels like a dream to me right now and it hasn't really hit me, but I think that's almost better because it keeps the competitive edge in it. I think when you get comfortable with where you are that's when you fail because I think you should always be striving for self-improvement and trying to get to that next level.
Toddstar: You speak of the next level. You're fairly new at the game – again, you've got an EP, you've had some singles out, and you've had some songs out in teen soap operas in Brazil. You're a twenty-year-old out of San Diego, California. When you first printed that first EP or when you first saw a copy of Hit The Lights printed with liner notes and everything else, did you ever think you'd actually get there?
Kathryn: I don't know, it's weird because I think the first time that I ever had that experience in terms of singing, I did talent development when I was like thirteen and stood out a little bit there amongst my peers. But then I started writing songs at sixteen and I did this, it's called like Taxi Road Rally before I was published. Basically they pair up song writers with music supervisors and you basically submit your song. They'll say "okay we're looking for a song that's like this for this for this scene" and everyone will submit their songs then they choose them and go from there. They have probably two thousand people come to this annual conference that they have and I remember it was my first year at this conference and there's like this little pot where you can just put a mixed tape CD in and this whole panel which had Universal Music Group, all these different A&R people, and all these big names of different publishing companies would all judge it in front of a room of like two thousand people. Basically, my name ended up getting called, so I was super nervous because they had destroyed every single person that had come before me. So they played one of my songs and then the room just goes quiet, like completely silent. My parents and I were sitting there thinking "Oh my God" and my mom was telling me she was so prepared to give me a whole speech about how I just started. They play it and then all the sudden someone asks about the song writer, is the girl here? I stood in the back of this room with two thousand people and I stood up. All these people turn around and give me a standing ovation for this song that was the fourth song I'd ever written and I feel that in that moment, I realized "Holy shit – I could actually do this. People like what I'm putting out there, my songs are worthwhile. I'm not just another teenage girl writing songs in her bedroom." Then when my first check came in, I was like "I'm officially a professional song writer." All those kind of cool moments.
Toddstar: That's awesome. I know you're busy in New York, but I want to thank you so much for your time. I wish you well on the rest of this Tiffany tour and when you head out with Howie Day in October. I can't wait to see you hit Michigan once again.
Kathryn: Sounds like a plan. Thank you so much.

Quality comes first is more than just a catchphrase. That is why we founded Elite. Quality ABA Therapy is about more than just big advertising budgets and snazzy gadgets; it's about properly individualizing therapy to the client's needs and then putting your clinicians in a position to examine and assess huge amounts of data. Elite credits APMCS for increasing efficiency and allowing us to give higher-quality services to our clients than ever before with their unique ABA Data Collection Software.
Read more below.
Since last year, Elite Spectrum has undergone significant internal restructuring, which included saying goodbye to the conventional systems that the majority of ABA companies employ. Elite is a Verbal Behavior clinic, thus the business had to concentrate on finding a system that would significantly decrease the time their staff spent entering data, reduce errors, and function as they needed it to. This was made feasible for Elite through Aheed Practice Management and Clinical Solutions (APMCS).
APMCS was created by seasoned business professionals and Board-Certified Behavior Analysts as a scalable EHR platform for Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) clinics (BCBAs). APMCS has assisted Elite Spectrum in streamlining data collecting for their clients, decreasing the time their team spends on data entry, and reducing data input errors, allowing the team to work as efficiently as possible.
The fact that APMCS is web-based and our clinicians can use it from almost anywhere with an internet connection is one of the things I value the most. This has particularly helped us maintain operations regardless of the treatment setting or BCBA location. We have therapists and clinicians that are able to immediately observe data being graphed and plotted. According to Elite Spectrum VP Tamara Alexander, "This on-the-spot analysis has tremendously helped us in detecting antecedents and other crucial variables in order to be able to better support clients more efficiently and more effectively."
APMCS is a scalable program that has been able to support Elite's growth and individual client needs. APMCS is also HIPPA compliant and secure to guarantee that your data is shielded from unauthorized access. Elite is now able to concentrate on what matters most—their clients—thanks to the APMCS platform.

Here directly from Sumaiya, APMCS's co creator, and Keshia, Elite's Clinical Director, about how the ABA software sets their practices apart from those relying on conventional softwares with no wiggle room.

Dow Corning introduced a new encapsulant and two new conformal coatings for the LED protection applications.
Dow Corning, a global leader in silicones, introduced one new transparent silicone encapsulant and two new without UV dye conformal coatings silicone for the lighting market and for LED protection applications.
- Dow Corning EI-1184, for the potting of LED lighting applications, delivers a high transparency and a non-yellowing resistance. This two-part silicone encapsulant offers reliable, long-lasting protection of sensitive LED electronics in harsh environmental conditions. This new potting has a high moisture resistance, an ultraviolet (UV) light resistance, a thermal cycling and extreme temperatures resistance.All of these benefits makes that the new Dow Corning EI-1184 is suitable for both indoor and outdoor lamp and luminaire applications such as architectural and landscape lighting, light bars and strips.
Dow Corning's new silicone encapsulant comes as a simple, two-part liquid component kit that requires a simpler 1:1 mix ratio unlike others organics chemistries. This not only reduces the potential for error during preparation, but also makes it easier for manufacturers to control quality and simplifies the process.
The new Dow Corning EI-1184 is available in 1 kg kit, 36kg kit and 360 kg kit.
- Dow Corning CC-2570 and Dow Corning CC-2571 are two transparent silicone-based conformal coatings without UV dye that eliminates potential fluorescence issues due to an UV exposition of outdoor lighting applications.Based on the silicone technology, these one part RTV (Room Temperature Vulcanization)silicone conformal coatings offers a high moisture resistance, an ultraviolet (UV) light resistance, a thermal cycling and extreme temperatures resistance, to protect the electronics boards (PCB) for the lighting market.
The main difference between these new conformal coating concerns the viscosity: 1 000 mPa.s for the Dow Corning CC-2570 against 75 mPa.s for the Dow Corning CC-2571.
These two new varnishes are available in 3.6 kg pail or in 18.1 kg pail.

Giants fans could relate to the Astros dilemma last night. One out away from a loss, tying run on base, and the team needed a pinch hit like it never had in franchise history. With this in mind, the manager scanned the bench, and came up with Jose Vizcaino. Jose Vizcaino! Phil Garner recognized the gravity of the situation, shattered the glass case, reached inside, and pulled out a fire extinguisher filled with spring-loaded paper snakes. Jose Vizcaino! Lest any Astro partisans think I'm poking fun at their team, this all ties into to the Giants. Playing some of their most important games in franchise history, the Giants used Shawon Dunston as the DH. Shawon Dunston! Sometimes you go to play with the team you have, not the team you want.
Of course, both Vizcaino and Dunston came through. Viz will get more attention from clutch groupies, but they both reinforced their manager's faith in a losing effort. It's easy to be hyper-critical when watching your own team, but comforting to know that flawed teams also get a shot.
Comment starter: What would need to happen for the Giants staff to approximate what the White Sox received this year from Buehrle/Garland/Garcia/Contreras? It seems the rawest of the raw materials are there with Schmidt, Lowry, and Cain, but that too much would need to fall into place both in the offseason and during the year. I don't look at the White Sox and see a team so incredible, so dominant, the Giants of 2006 have no chance to emulate their success. The White Sox are a very good team, but their success is more encouraging than intimidating.

It's the second week of the COVID-19 lockdown in Italy. The entire country is in the so-called 'red zone'.
About three weeks ago now, people refused to take the arrival of this virus seriously, partly because Dr Maria Rita Gismondo, director of the Laboratory of Microbiology, Virology, and Bio-emergencies at Luigi Sacco University Hospital in Milan, had reported that it was little more than the regular flu and wouldn't be discussed after a week (by 4 March). To her mind, the Italian public had been collectively brainwashed by the media.
She wasn't the only influential person who thought there was little to fear. Many people didn't know what to think. I, for example, wondered why the Chinese had made so much effort to fight this virus if it wasn't so lethal. I remained worried, although, considering Dr Gismondo's opinion, I thought it was still safe to circulate cautiously. Likewise, many employers continued to force their employees to work, thinking that Dr Gismondo and a few other 'experts' were right after all.
In Cremona, one of the regions battered by COVID-19, an American Christian humanitarian aid organisation, Samaritan's Purse, has offered to help with materials, such as medical equipment, and human resources, including doctors and technicians. They will provide 60 beds and eight spots for intensive care. Cremona's mayor, Gianluca Galimberti, has expressed his gratitude that these good Samaritans have come to the rescue in Italy's time of need.
There is an appeal from local leaders to respect the lockdown restrictions because the cases of illness are still increasing. By evening, the streets of Milan will be empty. The president of the Lombardy region, Attilio Fontana, is begging citizens to stay home because he says more drastic measures will have to be taken if people don't heed warnings to cut the numbers outside; anyone who leaves home puts themselves at risk and others as well.
At the Casa Santa Marta Chapel, Pope Francis prays for the deceased and for the healthcare providers who have given their lives for others. He prays to God for an end to the pandemic and for healing for healing of the sick. Pope Francis urges the populace not to waste this time, to try to become closer to their families and to spend the time wisely in reflection. Moreover, a major conference that Pope Francis had planned to attend in late March, 'The Economy of Francis' at Assisi, has been postponed due to the gravity of the coronavirus situation.
Marcello Natali, a 57-year-old physician, secretary of the general practitioners' federation in Lodi, has given his life, fighting until the end to save his patients. He didn't have any pre-existing conditions, yet he didn't make it, showing that anyone can fall prey to COVID-19. According to Corriere della Sera (18 March 2020), Dr Natali was put into intensive care on 11 March after having begged the government to provide more tests for the citizenry. Not long afterwards, he was transferred to Milan. Like many other doctors, nurses and volunteers who have worked for long hours throughout this emergency, Marcello Natali will forever remain a hero.
Many Italians have taken to the internet to keep in contact with friends and family. Neighbourhood solidarity groups have formed on Facebook, Instagram and other social networking websites. Many people who have never used these sites are now using them to cheer each other up and make suggestions about resolving problems. A Facebook user posted old photos of community members when they were children, so that other members could participate in guessing who those children were. Others snapped more recent photos of nature.
Italians on Facebook want to know who will be delivering food, water, and even pizza to their homes. Many make comments about the ways people should respond to this international emergency (i.e. by not walking too much around the village and by staying inside as much as possible). Many argue about what constitutes acceptable exercise; is walking outdoors really permissible exercise during this difficult period when everyone is supposed to be locked-down indoors? Must one be 'running' in order to move around town? Fortunately, local priests have set up religious services, prayers and Mass online to unite people and provide hope. May their prayers be answered!

Back to 2014 Annual Meeting Abstracts
Background:The indications for surgical intervention in adolescent patients with varicocele as well as the ideal surgical approach remain controversial. While the subinguinal microsurgical approach appears to have become the gold standard for varicocele ligation in adult males with infertility, this approach has not been widely adopted in the adolescent population.In this study, we sought to describe recent trends in the choice of surgical approach for adolescent varicocelectomy using the Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS) database.Methods:Hospitals enrolled in the PHIS database that reported outpatient surgeries by Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code from 2003 to 2012 were included. Since not all procedures are reported by CPT code, the number of procedures reported by the International Classification of Diseases-9 (ICD-9) codes were compared to the number of procedures reported by CPT code for each year. In order to provide quality control of the dataset, hospitals that did not report all procedures by CPT code were excluded for that particular year.Patients at least ten years of age whose records contained both the ICD-9 code for varicocele (456.4) and a CPT code for varicocelectomy [55550 (laparoscopic), 55530 (open inguinal), 55535 (open abdominal)] were identified. Microsurgical approach was identified by CPT code 69990. Patients undergoing concurrent hernia or hydrocele repair were excluded.Linear regression analysis was used to describe trends across time.Results:The number of hospitals that met the inclusion criteria increased from 15 hospitals in 2003 to 33 in 2012. After excluding 117 patients who underwent concurrent hernia or hydrocele repair and 78 records from hospitals underreporting ambulatory surgeries by CPT code, a final cohort of 2,528 patients was identified. Mean age was 15 years. (+ 2 years)Over half (53.6%) of reported varicocelectomies were performed laparoscopically. Of the remaining open surgeries, 76.3% were performed with an inguinal/subinguinal approach, and 23.7% were approached abdominally. A microsurgical approach was reported in only 2% of open varicocelectomies. (21 inguinal/subinguinal, 2 abdominal)Linear regression demonstrated that the proportion of laparoscopic varicocelectomies significantly increased over the study period. (R2=0.63, p<0.01) (Figure 1) With each additional year, the proportion of laparoscopic procedures increased by approximately 1.7%. The proportion of abdominal varicocelectomies significantly declined over the study period (R2=0.64, p<0.01), decreasing by approximately 0.9% with each additional year. The proportion of inguinal surgeries did not change significantly. (R2=0.27, p=0.12) (Figure 2)Conclusions:We identified a trend of increasing use of a laparoscopic approach for adolescent varicocelectomy, which appears to be driven mostly by a transition from open abdominal surgery. While subinguinal microsurgical repair appears to have become the gold standard for management of varicoceles in adult males with infertility, this technique was infrequently reported within this adolescent cohort.

Shooting The Breeze With The Head Of Versailles' Kitchen Garden
Antoine Jacobsohn, Head of the King's Kitchen Garden at Versailles
What if you could walk down the street and, next to shrubs and other flowers, fruits and vegetables were growing? That's the hope of Antoine Jacobsohn, Head of the King's Kitchen Garden at the Palace of Versailles. I spent an afternoon with Jacobsohn recently when he came to DC's Alliance Française to speak about his role in managing this famous French garden.
About Antoine Jacobsohn
So who is Antoine Jacobsohn? Few would guess from his perfect French accent that he actually hails from New Jersey. An avid Francophile, Jacobsohn moved to France in his early 20s after graduating from Cornell University's College of Agriculture. After pursuing a series of gardening-related jobs, he eventually landed at Versailles. And in 2008 he became director of the palace's vegetable and fruit gardens commonly known as the King's Kitchen Garden (Le Potager du Roi in French.)
The Potager is not part of the ornamental gardens at Versailles; rather, it is located on a 24-acre plot smack dab in the middle of the city. As Jacobsohn puts it, the garden is surrounded by an "urban desert". He finds this worrisome for the future. As city dwellers have increasingly less access to food, he believes we should rethink how we shape our gardens. And that means incorporating fruits and vegetables into the design.
"People can recognize spinach on a shelf, but not in the ground," he said.
In the future that Jacobsohn envisions, fresh produce would not only taste great, but it would be easily accessible to the public. Towards this end, he and his team of gardeners are experimenting, all while respecting the techniques honed over centuries in the Versailles gardens. He hopes to revolutionize the way people interact with their food while putting the world more in sync with its environment.
About the King's Kitchen Garden
The Versailles fruit and vegetable garden (known in French as Le Potager du Roi) was created in the 17th century to provide fresh fruit and vegetables for Louis XIV and his court. The King appointed Jean-Baptiste de La Quintinie, an accomplished vegetable and fruit gardener, as director of the project.
Jean Baptiste de La Quintinie
Quintinie's first task was to take a swamp and turn it into a working garden. To accomplish this, he drained the swamp and brought in tons of soil, which he enriched with manure from the King's stables. Jules Hardouin-Mansart, Versailles' architect, designed the layout for the garden. The original plan called for 29 terraced garden squares grouped around a central fountain.
Original plan for le Potager du Roi
La Quintinie's genius lay in his deep understanding of plants and his ability to make things grow. To Mansart's plan, he added tall walls and terraces designed to trap sun and heat with the goal of encouraging microclimates to develop.
In addition to providing sheltered areas where fruits and vegetable could thrive, the towering walls also served as supports for fruit trees. Today they showcase La Quintinie's grand artistry in producing sculpted and espaliered trees. Some of these fruit tree shapes (click link for great photos of some of these amazing shapes) are so complicated that they take up to 15 years to develop.
The Sun King so loved La Quintinie's garden that he ordered a parapet walk to be created so he and his entourage could study his gardeners at work.
Today's garden is rooted in discovery
'A good gardener must have passion for new discoveries' – Jean-Baptiste de la Quintinie (Instruction pour les jardins fruitiers et potagers 1690)
From its earliest days, the King's Kitchen Garden was focused on problem solving and innovation. The ready availability of fresh horse manure and experimentation with different kinds of glass and bell shelters helped La Quintinie develop elaborate techniques for producing fruit out of season. And the array of produce the kitchen garden was able to grow was staggering. According to records, there were 50 different varieties of pears, 20 varieties of apples and 16 types of lettuce, to name just a few.
Today the Potager is run by the Ecole Nationale Supérieure du Paysage (National School of Landscape Architecture) whose logo is a stylized version of the central square of the kitchen garden. Jacobsohn believes this logo is important because it represents the central question posed by today's gardens. That is, how do you transition from garden to landscape and back again?
To address this conundrum, students at the school follow a progression of studies. The first year, they learn about creating gardens. The second, they study garden spaces. Finally, the third year is devoted to working on large-scale infrastructure projects such as railroad tracks that crisscross the landscape and connect one landscape to another.
The golden Grille de Roi provided private entrance for the King to the garden
Jacobsohn sees a fundamental contradiction between the way historical gardens were managed and the way today's landscape architecture schools view their craft: namely, students think of themselves more as conceptualizers or creators, and not necessarily as gardeners. To address this, the students at Versailles have the opportunity to work in the garden, to feel how the garden communicates with them and to learn about the soil.
"What's most important to me," said Jacobsohn, "are the gardeners. You can have a space without gardeners, but without gardeners, a garden doesn't exist."

Jacobsohn and his team of gardeners (of which there are just nine) strive daily to balance historic gardening practices with contemporary understandings. The garden "collection" now includes 400 old and recent varieties of fruit and as many vegetables grown specifically for the public. Great taste, eco-friendly growth practices and historical value all take precedent, and each year, the King's Kitchen Garden produces about 40 tons of fruit and 20 tons of vegetables all of which they sell at the King's Kitchen Garden store.

Down the line, Jacobsohn would like to see the garden increase its output, which raises the question: How does an historical garden adhere to old methods and still be great fruit producers given modern pests and diseases? Jacobsohn notes that if the garden is to continue producing in large quantities, these two things have to go hand in hand.
For example, although pear trees have been cultivated around the central fountain for centuries, they require herbicides and other invasive measures to remain productive. Jacobsohn, who strives to be as eco-friendly and chemical free as possible, raises the controversial idea of someday trading them out for less disease-prone plum trees.
"It is worth remembering," said Jacobsohn, "that an historical space was created to be new, not old, and as such should inspire innovation."
Opened to the public in 1991, the King's Kitchen Garden now hosts many cultural events in addition to being home to 200 landscape architecture students and 350 continuing education students. It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage List. For more information click here for the official website.

Capsicum Named 2016 Herb of the Year
It may be time to get out the dictionary to see what designates an herb. The International Herb Association (IHA) has chosen the pepper family known as capsicum as 2016's Herb of the Year. The prize, which is awarded annually as a part of National Herb Week, shines a spotlight on this often misunderstood fruit; declaring it outstanding for its virtually unlimited culinary, medicinal and decorative uses.
What is capsicum exactly?
Capsicum, also known as peppers, is a genus of flowering plants in the nightshade family (which includes tomatoes, potatoes and eggplants.) Native to South America, its many species have been cultivated and traded for more than 6,000 years. According to experts at the Chile Pepper Institute, there are literally thousands of varieties, ranging from fiery hot to mild tasting, with new ones constantly being discovered. And among the known varieties, the fruits go by different names, depending on the type and location in which they are grown.
The mild tasting bell pepper is sometimes referred to as 'Stoplight Pepper'
Sound confusing? Capsicum terminology can get rather complicated, since pepper, chili, aji, paprika and capsicum are all used interchangeably to describe the same genus. Add to that the fact that frequent cross-pollination among domesticated species has produced even more variations and classification becomes next to impossible. Despite the huge range of varieties, however, experts now widely agree that the genus capsicum consists of 5 domesticated species:
Capsicum annuum: The most common and extensively grown of the five domesticated capsicums, C. annuum includes the bell pepper, jalapeño, pimiento, piquin and cayenne among others.
Jalapeño pepper
Capsicum baccatum: Ají amarillo, also called amarillo chili and ají escabeche.
Aji Amarillo pepper
Capsicum chinense: Includes some of the world's hottest peppers like the habanero, scotch bonnet and red savina. Pods and plant types vary within the species.
Habanero peppers
Capsicum frutescens: This shrubby cultivar that includes the tabasco is often considered part of the species Capsicum annuum. Fruits typically grow erect and are very small, maturing from yellow to bright red. Large clusters of berries make this a popular ornamental plant.
Ornamental peppers
Capsicum pubescens: The least common of the five, a cultivar distinguished by its apple-like shape and black seeds. It includes the varieties rocoto and the Mexican manzano.
Peruvian rocoto pepper
A part of cooking for thousands of years
Although chili peppers had been a part of the human diet across the Americas for centuries, they were virtually unheard of in the rest of the world. That is, until Christopher Columbus brought the unusual species back from the New World. At the time, the fruit of a plant native to India, called Piper nigrum, (commonly known as peppercorn) was the key ingredient used to flavor foods in countries like Europe.
Peppercorn, Piper nigrum
In the beginning, Europeans weren't so enamored with capsicum. But eventually, as traders began carrying the berry to places in West Africa, India and Asia, the pungent fruit quickly caught on. In the end, capsicum's discovery would end up revolutionizing cooking the world over as it became an integral ingredient in Chinese, Indian, Thai, European and American cooking and medicine, all of which now lay claim to the spice as their own.
Anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties
The same chemical that produces a pepper's fiery sensation in the mouth is loaded with medicinal properties. This is due to a phytonutrient called capsaicin, a chemical that gives hot peppers their 'heat.' In the wild, capsaicin protects the fruits from being eaten by insects and other mammals. In modern medicine, the pepper compound has been successfully used to dramatically reduce the sensation of pain.
The amount of capsaicin in any one fruit is highly variable depending on genetics and environment. (All chili peppers have some degree of the chemical, though, with the notable exception of bell peppers, which have practically none.) Habanero peppers are among the most capsaicin-rich chilies that are commonly available. A 2006 study published in the "Journal of Environmental Science and Health" found that the species habanero (a part of C. chinense) had higher concentrations of capsaicin than any other species in the capsicum genus.
Habanero mix
When a capsaicin cream or ointment is applied to the skin, it has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. Capsaicin medications have been shown to successfully relieve pain caused by rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia and shingles. In 2009, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a medicated skin patch made from capsaicin for treatment of post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN). According to spokesmen, the pure, concentrated, capsaicin-containing prescription drug was the first to undergo FDA review
"This new product can provide effective pain relief for patients who suffer from PHN," said Bob Rappaport, M.D., director of the Division of Anesthesia, Analgesia and Rheumatology Products in the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.
And just last year, the capsaicin patch was approved for use in the Europe Union for the additional indication of the treatment of adult diabetes patients with peripheral neuropathic pain.
Other studies have shown that pepper fruits can be used to make medicine for problems relating to digestion including upset stomach, intestinal gas and cramps as well as conditions such as poor circulation. Capsaicin has also been used to relieve toothaches and seasickness and a form of the phytonutrient is currently being studied as a remedy for migraine pain.
World's hottest chili pepper identified
Recently, the world's hottest chili pepper was identified. Known as the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion, the golf-ball sized fruit was named the spiciest pepper on the planet. On the Scoville Heat Scale (which measures the pungency, or heat factor, of peppers), the Trinidad Moruga scored about 240 times hotter than the jalapeño, with a Scoville heat unit value of 1.2 million. (The average jalapeño ranks at about 5,000 units.)
Moruga Scorpion pepper
Pure capsaicin, by the way, has a heat unit value ranging between 15,000,000 and 16,000,000 Scoville Units.

SALT LAKE CITY — More than a fourth of voters in Salt Lake County have mailed in their ballots, and thousands of voters continue to register, showing participation in Utah's 2018 midterms may surpass that seen in the last presidential election.
Sherrie Swensen, Salt Lake County Clerk, said the rolls of active voters in Utah's most populous county have already swelled beyond where they were in 2016.
"In the presidential election at the very end of the registration period we had 510,000 active registered voters in Salt Lake County. We have already surpassed that," Swensen said.
On October 24 of 2016, the Salt Lake County Clerk had received 83,587 mailed in ballots. On October 24, 2018, Swensen said she had received 138,000 mailed in ballots.
Registrations are also on the rise. Swensen said the county is getting hundreds of new registrations every day, amounting to 22,000 new voters in the last month.
Statewide, registrations are up overall, but the biggest surprise is a declining number.
There are 17,755 fewer voters registered as "unaffiliated."
The "unaffiliated" category is second only to Republicans as the party category for Utah voters, numbering 606,263. Republicans have 730,805 voters and Democrats have 200,881.
In the last two years, Republicans gained 25,331 new voters and Democrats gained 20,860.
Utah's other registered parties also gained members. Most notably, the Independent American party gained nearly 14,000 members, amounting to growth of about 37 percent.
Swensen and Utah County Clerk Bryan Thompson credit ballot propositions for the bulk of voter interest. In particular, Swensen said Proposition 2 legalizing medical marijuana is what she has heard about the most from voters.
