21 Gift Ideas for Healthy Cooks
Whether you're putting together your own holiday wish list or you've got some cooking-lovers to buy for, it can be tricky to brainstorm ideas. Since I'm always in the kitchen, I thought it might be fun (and hopefully helpful) to put together a holiday gift guide of products I love, items I use often, and a few things on my own wish list! Without further ado (and in no particular order), here are my 21 gift ideas for healthy cooks:
This post contains affiliate links.
1. The Flavor Bible: The Essential Guide to Culinary Creativity by Karen Page and Andrew Dornenburg
This book is at the top of my own wish list this season. It's a reference book, not a recipe book, but it's a fantastic way to learn about flavor combinations and how to best use ingredients. Know you want to make something with lemon? Look up lemons among the thousands of ingredients listed and you will find ideas as to which flavors and ingredients pair well with lemon, as well as tips, substitutions and other facts. What better way to gain inspiration and confidence to experiment? An invaluable resource for cooks of all skill levels, this is a perfect gift for someone who is looking to be more creative in the kitchen.
2. A Food Scale (Martha Stewart Collection Digital Scale)
Owning a reliable food scale is an absolute must for any cook or healthy eater. It's the best way to get an accurate measurement, and when a recipe calls for 2 ounces of Parmesan cheese, how else will you know how much to use? It's also key for portion control when sticking to a healthy eating plan. Knowing I put 3 ounces of chicken on my salad is a lot easier than guessing. I have owned this Martha Stewart model from Macy's for several years now and it works like a charm, but there are tons of models out there, so go ahead and choose whichever one speaks to you!
3. Pampered Chef Food Chopper
I know I've talked about this product before on my June post about '5 Things I'm Loving Right Now," but I really can't do enough gushing about this chopper. It is a lifesaver! I can't think of another item that has reduced my prep time so effectively. I almost never chop or dice veggies by hand anymore, because this baby can take care of it in a fraction of the time. I can't remember the last time onions made me cry. The chopper is also good for nuts or fruits or cooked meats and it great for making homemade salsa or pico de gallo in a flash. To sweeten the pot, it even breaks down into several pieces for easy cleaning and it's dishwasher safe. Everyone should own one!
4. Herb Garden
What better way to ensure your herbs are fresh and flavorful than to get them directly off the plant yourself? There are a few ways to package this gift, but as a cook and a food lover, you can't go wrong. I love the idea of gifting some especially adorable herb pots such as these ones from Williams-Sonoma and including the herb plants or seeds. If you're willing to get your hands dirty, you can follow a tutorial like this awesome one from HGTV. There are also fun kits like this one that help you start and grow them by yourself. This is a fun gift to get creative with!
5. Weekly Menu Planner from Alaboard on etsy
Planning ahead and being prepared is key to those interested in healthy eating. Scheduling meals for the week and displaying it in the kitchen is a great way for a cook to stay on track and be prepared at a glance. I love the idea of this magnetic menu planner found on etsy because it's attractive, simple, and you can hang it right on your fridge! I'm especially fond of the fact that it leaves space to write out a grocery list. Gift this planner with a dry erase or chalk marker and the recipient will have everything they need!
6. Ziploc Vacuum Bag Starter Kit
Okay, so this one is probably more of a stocking stuffer, but these are so useful I had to include them. It's just so nice to be able to make a giant batch of shredded chicken in the slow cooker or to buy a big bulk package of lean ground beef (for example) and then portion it out and freeze it to be used in future recipes without worrying it'll be a snowy, freezer-burned mess when you take it out. Traditional vacuum sealers can be really huge and pricey, but this little hand pump and the bags take almost no effort and do the job for cheap. Just seal the bag, pump a few times and the interior air is removed! Great for leftovers, fresh seasonal produce, meats, soups, the works.
7. Vegetable Spiral Slicer: GEFU Spirelli or Spiralizer Tri-Blade
If you're looking to cut down on carbs or just have a fun new preparation method for veggies, one of these spiral slicers can turn your zucchini, carrots or other vegetables into long, curly, julienned "noodles," (or zoodles as the zucchini ones are called…are the carrot ones coodles? Or caroodles? Both sound hilarious, so I'm cool with either). There are a few types of spiral slicers out there that will give you similar results depending on your needs. I have the GEFU Spirelli Slicer which is one of the small manual ones where you basically insert the vegetable by hand and twist. With the more deluxe type spiral slicers, like this best selling Spiralizer Tri-Blade, you attach the vegetable (or fruit, the spiralizer can slice more types and shapes or produce) and then turn a crank as it presses it against a blade. Who said veggies can't be pasta?
8. A Fun Apron
You know how people say having fun new workout clothes will motivate you to exercise? It can be the same with cooking! Of course we know aprons are functional, they keep you from getting messy while cooking, but that doesn't mean they can't also be pretty or awesome. I'm partial to frilly, feminine ones like this one from anthropologie or this one from Sur la Table, but that doesn't mean men can't look dapper while cooking as well. This brown suede "grilling apron" made by Outset is rugged and manly while still protecting from grease splatters or kitchen spills.
9. Wilton Muffin Tins
For muffins? Sure…but also for meals! Muffin tins are a great way to easily portion out main courses, and you'll be amazed at what can be made in a muffin tin! I have a whole category of "main course muffin tin" recipes on my site, and it includes everything from Cheeseburger Hash Brown Cups to Mexi Meatloaf Muffins to Spaghetti & Meatball Cups to Buffalo Chicken Wonton Cupcakes (and much more!). It's also my favorite way to make baked oatmeal recipes like Pumpkin Chocolate, Apple Cinnamon, or Banana Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal Singles. Each standard level muffin tin cup generally holds about ½ cup of food and when your main course is muffin'd, you can easily decide how many are the right portion for you. I use these Wilton tins, and they've been great.
10. The Skinnytaste Cookbook by Gina Homolka
I'm pretty sure everyone who has been on the internet or who has ever even thought about making a healthy recipe knows about Gina's recipe blog, Skinnytaste. For the uninitiated, however, her site is another fantastic place to find delicious, flavorful recipes you want to eat for less calories (or Weight Watchers points). Gina was doing this for years before I started my own blog and she has been a huge inspiration to me. Now, in addition to visiting her blog, you can buy her new book, which features 125 exclusive new recipes (as well as 25 favorites from her blog). The book includes light and tasty recipes for Buttermilk Oven "Fried" Chicken, Mongolian Beef and Broccoli, Kiss My (Shrimp and) Grits, Butternut Squash Lasagna Rolls, Double Chocolate Chunk Walnut Cookies and so much more! This is a perfect cookbook for anyone looking for a lighter way to eat their favorites.
11. Measurement Conversion Chart
How much is a pinch? How many tablespoons in a cup? It's nice to have an easy (and cute!) point of reference at a glance. There are several attractive conversion prints available for framing on etsy, such as this one, this one, or this one, and a lot of shops will let you customize the colors or size of the print. Run out of wall space? This comfy floor mat would make a great gift!
12. Range Kleen Salad Container
I'll admit, this gift is more for healthy eaters in general than for cooks, but I really love mine so I'm including it. This is a perfect bowl in which to bring your salad to work. First of all, it's spacious. You can fit a whole lot of lettuce and toppings in here (which is good for me, because I don't want a dainty salad). There's a compartment in the lid that holds your salad dressing to keep it from making your lettuce soggy, and when you're ready to eat, you simply lift the knob on the side and the dressing with release onto your salad! Then you just shake it up to coat the contents, remove the lid and eat!
13. RSVP Measuring Cups and Spoons
It frustrates me that so many measuring cup and spoon sets come with such limited options. My husband got me the best sets off Amazon, and I love the variety of measurements included. Start with this RSVP Endurance set for more traditional measuring spoons (1/8 tsp, ¼ tsp, ½ tsp, 1 tsp and 1 tbsp) and add the companion set (1/16 tsp "a pinch", 1/8 tsp, 2/3 tsp, 1 ½ tsp and 1 tsp). Their 7 piece measuring cup set is just as awesome with 1/8 cup, ¼ cup, 1/3 cup, ½ cup, 2/3 cup, ¾ cup and 1 cup. You deserve a wide variety of measurements and so do your friends, so these make a great gift.
14. Penzey's Spices
Adding good quality spices is a fantastic way to make a healthy dish taste incredible. If you're looking for attractively packaged, gift-worthy spices and seasonings, Penzey's has got you covered. They have several pre-packaged gift boxes available in categories for bakers, grillers, salad lovers, pepper lovers, hot & spicy bold flavors, and kitchen classics. There's something for every cook!
15. Hamilton Beach Slow Cooker
It's easy to make a meal when the recipe cooks itself while you're at work! I also love my slow cooker for prep (the easiest way to make shredded chicken) and for entertaining (keeps food warm for hours). There are tons of great lightened up slow cooker recipes out there, and I have quite a few here on my blog including Beef Stew, Thai Peanut Chicken, Meatballs & Marinara, the easiest Applesauce, Pulled Pork Tacos, Barbecue Beef and more! Hamilton Beach doesn't make the slow cooker I have anymore, but this one is extremely close. I love mine, so I would recommend it!
16. Suction Sponge Holders
I call these "sponge savers," because they keep your sponge clean and usable for longer. You may not think this is cooking-related, but every cook ends up with dirty pots and pans, and you don't want to reach into the sink and pull out a gross, dirty sponge. I have this plastic one and it works great (comes in a 2-pack), but if you want something more attractive, you can get this stainless steel one for just a little bit more. The holder sticks right to the inside wall of your sink and keeps your sponge from sitting on the counter it its own filth. Makes a perfect stocking stuffer!
17. Fun Kitchen Prints from Freshline Illustration
There are a lot of cute and "punny" kitchen prints on etsy, but this series from Freshline is at the top of my holiday wish list. They're cute and whimsical and they come in a variety of colors and sizes. I can't wait to frame some to put in my own kitchen! My personal favorites are Be Grateful, Live Your Life with Zest, Don't be Afraid to Take Whisks, and Love Beyond Measure, but there are so many good ones to choose from!
18. Hamilton Beach Digital Simplicity Rice Cooker/Steamer
My husband was the one who put this on our wedding registry, but we've both been loving it ever since. You can make up a big batch of quinoa or brown rice with little to no effort on your part and there's even a tray to steam vegetables as well! The cooker automatically switches to "warm" when the rice is finished cooking and it has a time delay feature, so you can even set it in the morning to have rice ready when you get home from work!
19. Norpro Doughnut/Donut Pan
Baking donuts is a healthier way to eat the sweet treats you crave while skipping the deep fryer. I've had this Norpro pan for years and it works great. There are lots of baked donut recipes available, and I have several here on my blog including Carrot Cake Doughnuts, Chocolate Frosted Doughnuts, Lemon Poppy Seed Doughnuts and more!
20. Misto Olive Oil Sprayer
This Misto olive oil mister is easy to use and can be a healthy way to lightly and evenly distribute a fine coat of oil on to your pans for non-stick cooking, onto vegetables for roasting, onto salads for dressing, or however you like! In addition to oil, you could also use it for vinegar or lemon juice. The Misto doesn't use chemicals or propellants, so you're just getting oil – no sticky coating to deal with later!
21. Pyrex Storage Containers
These containers are my pick for storing leftovers of all kinds. Since they're glass, they don't absorbs colors and smells like their plastic counterparts, and they're oven and microwave safe, so you can re-heat your food right in the storage container. The whole set can go in the dishwasher too! We have this 20-piece set from Bed, Bath & Beyond and it has a perfect variety of shapes and sizes.
Those are my picks for healthy cooks this holiday season – I hope you got some good ideas! What's on your list this year?

We are now a quarter of the way through the year. I'm aiming to ride 3,759 miles by the end of December, and so far I've covered 757 miles, or 20%. I'm about a week and a half behind where I would like to be.
That's not ideal, but it could be worse. Recent weather hasn't been great for riding, and yet I've managed to pull up from being three weeks behind plan at the start of March. Things are not as busy as usual at work, and the clocks have gone forward so there is time in the evenings for some longer rides during the week. As long as the weather improves, I should be able to catch up with the plan in April (touch wood).
I'd reached an Eddington number of 41 at the start of the year, but despite seven long rides, this has only moved to 43 in the last three months. The trouble is that in the past I'd left a big gap between the 55 rides of 40+ miles that I'd done, and the 40 rides that I'd done at 45+ miles. So it is taking a lot of rides over 45 miles to shift the Eddington number. Things should move a bit more easily climbing from between an E-number of 45 and 50, then I will hit another cliff.
Progress on riding to my list of churches is looking a bit better. Of the fifteen that I'm trying to reach this year, I've already crossed off 12, leaving 3 to go. I've already ridden to the four most distant on my list. As a result some of the recent trips have been a bit too demanding for comfort, but the next few outings will be a bit easier.
The hope for April is that the numbers will be boosted by better weather and more regular rides, Bluntly, more riding, and less fiddling with spreadsheets.

Cryptocurrency live tracker Whale Alert recently tweeted that Ripple transferred millions of tokens out of escrow on Dec. 2 and returned it after several minutes. Move raises fears company is dumping XRP to crash prices.
Ripple was reported to have transferred one billion XRP from its escrow wallet in two distinct transactions. As of press time, the tokens were worth about $219 million. But what caught the crypto community's interest was that the company transferred the same amount back into the wallet after seven minutes. However, it was done in three different transactions.
55 Billion XRP Secured
Ripple moving its tokens out of escrow only to return it after a few minutes might look like a mistake, but it's apparently something that the company has been doing monthly. The set-up was initiated in 2017 when Ripple secured 55 billion XRP into various accounts. Each account reportedly contained a billion XRP.
One billion XRP is then unlocked every month. These tokens were then sold to crypto exchanges and other institutions. XRP that were unsold were then returned to escrow after 30 days. The practice was reportedly developed to reassure Ripple's investors that the company will never offload all its holdings into the open market simultaneously.
However, this practice has raised questions as to whether Ripple is deliberately dumping the tokens to crash its price. It has even led to one user to start the "Stop Ripple Dumping" petition on Change.org back in August. It was followed by another petition in September. This was more tongue-in-cheek and urged the company to dump more XRP to "unleash the utility."
XRP users have even threatened the company's management of a takeover if they don't take action against the allegations of currency dumping. Ripple rebutted that it is selling the tokens to invest in companies that could help grow their ecosystem and to have funding for its operations.
The price of XRP has been dropping steadily over the last few months and some sectors are pointing at the token sales as the culprit that's preventing the world's third-largest crypto from rising.
MoneyGram Partnership
The San Francisco-based company has established several partnerships recently in the hopes of boosting its prices. Its latest collaboration is a two-year strategic partnership with MoneyGram. The deal entails the money transmission firm drawing up to $50 million in exchange for equity. The two companies would then work together on foreign exchange settlement and cross-border payments with digital assets.
Ripple recently paid the final $20 million of its MoneyGram investment, but it seems the company wasn't able to cash in the deal as the coin is still trading low.

Asava's 10th Anniversary
Thai haute couture house Asava Group began 10 years ago when founder Polpat Asavaprapha brought the brand to life on the poignant date of August 08, 2008. Commemorating the 10th anniversary of the fashion house this year, an event was held at the Dusit Thani Bangkok where Asava released a specially curated short film titled 080808 faithfully yours, a concise and sentimental piece detailing the creative vision of Polpat Asavaprapha as well as expressing the quality and skills found in Thailand's creative industries.
The film was accompanied by a spectacular fashion show of 25 outfits, 10 of which were signature pieces that helped Asava rise to fame over the past decade. The remaining were part of Asava's special collection, with iconic designs such as Asava's tailored suit, the shirtdress, the cape dress and the trench dress. Seen at this memorable occasion were Thailand's top celebrities and fashionistas, such as Ploypayap Srikarnchana, Suquan Bulakul and Jareyadee Spencer.
Asava can be found at Siam Paragon, Central Chitlom, Central World, The Emporium, as well as the Asava flagship store on Sukhumvit 45.

It's incredibly frustrating to deal with a child who refuses to take care of himself or herself—a child with bad hygiene. They look bad and we often see it as a reflection of our parenting. It's embarrassing.
We hear from many parents during parent coaching sessions whose kids won't shower or brush their teeth—sometimes for days or even weeks at a time. It's a common problem.
Maybe your child refuses to put on deodorant or wash his face. Perhaps your daughter wears the same lived-in clothes every day and rarely brushes or shampoos her hair.
We say to ourselves: "I can't let her leave the house looking like that!"
This is a normal response. But, it's also normal for kids to go through phases during which hygiene can be challenging, particularly during puberty. Here's what you can do if your child has poor hygiene.
"Bad hygiene is sometimes part of a larger, ongoing power struggle—a power struggle in which your child doesn't shower and clean up in order to resist you and push your buttons."
One of the most important things to consider about kids who have poor hygiene is that refusal to shower, bathe, or brush their teeth can sometimes be a symptom of depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, or another mental health issue.
If your child has poor hygiene coupled with behavior changes, declining academic performance, trouble with peers, or if you just think your child's poor hygiene is a health risk, we recommend that you make an appointment with your child's pediatrician. You want to rule out a physical or mental health issue.
Typically, children refuse to shower, refuse to brush their teeth, and refuse to take care of themselves for a simple reason: they just don't want to do it.
Many kids don't want to spend their time on self-care activities. It's often much more fun for them to spend time on things like playing video games. Kids can sometimes get so into a certain activity that it's all they want to do. For a child, the choice between something fun and something that seems boring is an easy one. They will almost always choose what's fun.
It's also important to consider that puberty is a major transition for children. Their bodies suddenly need more care to remain clean. They need lots of time and practice to learn the new habits that are required to keep up with their changing bodies. It is a confusing time and many children resist the change in routine. Understand that, in this case, resistance is simply due to a lack of knowledge, and the need for time to adjust.
In other instances, though, bad hygiene is part of a larger, ongoing power struggle. Your child may be refusing to clean up in order to resist you and push your buttons. When this happens, the more you try to control your child, the more she resists.
Whether your child or teen's hygiene problems are due to ignorance or an ongoing power struggle, here are some steps you can take to tackle the issue head-on.
No matter what you think might be going on, we always recommend that you talk with your child and listen to her perspective. Understanding your child's perspective is part of the key to working through this issue. Try sitting her down at a relatively calm time and ask:
"What's the reason you don't want to shower? What don't you like about it?"
Then talk with your child about how she might solve this problem so that she can take care of herself in a healthy way.
If your child is going through puberty it is helpful to talk about the changes going on with her body that make personal hygiene so important, such as skin becoming oilier and sweat glands becoming more active in the underarm area.
If you aren't sure how to have this conversation with your child, her pediatrician or school nurse should be able to give you some information and pointers.
I can't state this strongly enough: be gentle and loving when handling delicate issues like hygiene.
Your child will most likely be very sensitive and embarrassed about them.
Don't try to physically force your child to bathe or brush his teeth. Don't get him to shower by shaming him, calling him names, telling him that he smells, or telling him that you don't want to be around him. Ultimately, you just can't make another person do something they don't want to do. It's far more effective to focus on what will motivate your child and hold him accountable for practicing better hygiene.
Behavior charts and incentive systems are a great place to start, especially with younger kids. You can use a daily chart, such as our multiple behavior chart, to reinforce hygiene-related behaviors. Give a daily reward once the tasks are done.
For older kids, you can also establish weekly rewards. For example, showering 5 out of 7 days might earn your child extra time at night before lights out.

Using a reward system has a built-in consequence, so it's not necessary to give an additional consequence for failing to shower. If your child does not earn their reward for the day or week, the loss of the reward is the consequence.
You can create a menu of rewards your child can choose from to keep him interested. Offering a variety of different rewards helps to prevent the boredom and loss of motivation that often happens when the reward is always the same day after day.

I always say to parents, "Never underestimate the value and power of natural consequences." What's a natural consequence of poor hygiene? The negative reaction of his peers to his body odor or greasy hair. Indeed, kids are very blunt and many won't hesitate to tell your child that her breath stinks.
I talked to a mom once whose son didn't shower as often as she would like, and his girlfriend would come right out and tell him he smelled bad. And that ultimately solved the problem.
I've also known teachers to send kids to the guidance counselor to talk about hygiene. These are all the natural consequences of your child not showering or brushing his or her teeth. And they can go a long way toward getting your child to improve.
Do you want any of these embarrassing things to happen to your kid? Probably not. Is it a reflection on you as a parent? It certainly feels like it, but it really isn't as long as you are doing your job.
In the end, giving your kids the opportunity to practice good hygiene by providing all the necessary knowledge and tools is the best you can do.

Be aware that your child's hygiene problem may be an act of defiance, in which case, the real issue is a power struggle. So how do you know if you're in a power struggle with your child? If your child refuses to comply anytime you ask him to do something—when you find him constantly pushing back against your rules and requests—you're in a struggle.
The key to dealing with a power struggle is not to get sucked into it and to help your child develop more appropriate problem-solving skills.
For more information on dealing with power struggles I recommend starting with James Lehman's article Power Struggles: Are You at War with a Defiant Child.
Finally, be patient. Kids will always make their own choices no matter what. As long as you are problem-solving with your kids, using rewards and consequences, and supplying them with the necessary tools to take care of themselves, that's the best you can do as a parent.

For an actress, the role of Judy Garland courts comparison to climbing Mount Everest. Close, but it's more like scaling Everest while Everest crumbles beneath your feet. And you have to lug a floor mike up the crumbling mountain with all the rest of your gear, whether you're lip-syncing those famous songs or not.
In the new film "Judy" Renee Zellweger does not lip-sync. She sings. (Among notable previous portrayals, Judy Davis lip-synced to Garland recordings in the 2001 TV miniseries.) Zellweger's voice isn't much like Garland's; it's higher, smaller, tighter. But you buy it as part of a fascinating, fully committed performance. The movie's pretty good; though she's hardly alone, Zellweger makes it worth seeing.
"The slippery slope to a fade-out": That's how the real Garland characterized her dreaded, worst-case career path after MGM dropped her in the middle of filming "Annie Get Your Gun" (Betty Hutton took over, guns-a-blazing). "Judy" takes place at slope's bottom. It's a small film about a huge personality, set in December 1968 and early 1969, a few months before Garland's fatal accidental overdose.
We're in London. The superstar, 46 at the time, has booked a badly needed engagement at the Talk of the Town nightclub. Garland, an erratic vagabond of a performer and a mother, needs the money; she has set her sights on winning a custody battle with her ex-husband and ex-manager, Sid Luft, played with subtle exasperation and no little affection by Rufus Sewell.
Garland's oldest child, Liza Minnelli (played in a stateside cameo by Gemma-Leah Devereux), is grown-up. Young Lorna Luft (Bella Ramsey) and brother Joey (Lewin Lloyd), on the other hand, are still children, craving some steadiness, reliability, calm.
"Judy" has four key relationships on its agenda. One involves Garland's fifth and final husband, Mickey Deans (Finn Wittrock), whose love for Judy, like his business acumen, seems suspect to many in her temporary London surroundings. Another spoke in the movie's wheel connects Judy to her handler, Rosalyn Wilder (Jessie Buckley, lately in the superb HBO "Chernobyl" and fantastically natural and true here), a no-nonsense Englishwoman temperamentally unsuited to dealing with an infamously unpredictable diva.
A third spoke connects present-day Garland to memories of a tough, debilitating, chemically addled adolescence. Flashbacks to the filming of "The Wizard of Oz" depict a menacing Louis B. Mayer (Richard Cordery), whom Garland later claimed groped her repeatedly, trying to bring his young box-office attraction to heel. Darci Shaw plays the teenage Garland.
The flashbacks work well enough, but "Judy" fares best when it concentrates on Zellweger's turn. We see Judy preparing for (or avoiding) her imminent nightclub opening, going over material with her musical director (Royce Pierreson), grappling with her various demons and insecurities. Andy Nyman and Daniel Cerqueira go to town as two of screenwriter Tom Edge's fictional creations, a gay couple ardently devoted to Garland and, to their astonishment, her fast friends.
Directed with modestly budget flair by Rupert Goold, who heads the Almeida Theatre in London, "Judy" is a frankly theatrical movie, equal parts backstage drama and onstage drama. It comes from a 2005 play with music, "End of the Rainbow." The physical transformation of Zellweger is quite remarkable; she holds her shoulders a whole new way (Garland had spine troubles her entire life), and without getting into heavy-duty prosthetics, the actress evokes the ultrastylized, flailing-nerve-endings performance details with real assurance.
"Judy" reinvents no wheels and climbs no cinematic summits. It's going out into the marketplace without much of a marketing budget. I don't want to make grand claims for it; I also hope people find it. With excellent support from Buckley and Sewell, among others, Zellweger's film — and it is hers — creates an intimate illusion that feels authentic, witty and affecting.
Rating: PG-13 for substance abuse, thematic content, some strong language and smoking

The resignation of Kazakhstan's President Nursultan Nazarbayev will not affect the implementation of the agreements reached in the CSTO earlier, Acting Secretary General of CSTO Valery Semerikov noted, RIA Novosti reported.
According to him, the resignation of Nazarbayev does not mean that the decisions that he has signed will be illegitimate.
Earlier it was reported that President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev announced his resignation on Tuesday. His remarks came during the live broadcast on Tuesday in a special address to the nation. His duties will be performed by Senate Speaker Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, until a new president is elected.

Shooting photos, particularly for a pastime, is really fun and will be more pleasurable when you begin getting paid for taking photos out of hobby! Is it truly possible to get paid for it? Of course it is! In actuality, because of the marvels of the world wide web, earning profits from photos is now a great deal easier for photographers to reach their buyers. One of the most common ways of earning money through photographs is attempting to sell stock photos.
Which are Stock-photos?
Stock photos are the domino99 from the stock of one's current photos you have decided to market today. This indicates you, as the photographer, possess the copyright to these photos. As the person who owns the copyright, you have the right to provide permit to the using your photos so you can earn money from them. Though your photos have been increasingly being utilized by someone else, you still retain their copyright, which means that you could give license to them over and over again, thereby making money from the very same photographs consistently. Sounds good? If so, then you'd better learn how to begin.
Starting out
The very first stage to selling stock photos on the web is to get samples of work. Most successful stock photography websites have a very strict application procedure to make sure that just high-quality digital photos and images are obsessed about their website.
Another effective strategy is to evaluate other electronic photos in love with the website you wish to combine. Getting yourself familiar to the website's standards can allow you to submit types of digital graphics that abide by the site's standard.
Upon getting recognized as being a contributor into the stock website, you should start posting flat-rate stock pictures to be purchased by customers.
Whenever picking a stock photography website to join, it's quite important that you research the website's customer traffic volume and payment arrangement. It's likely to get away with low prices on stock pictures in the event that you combine popular stock photography websites, since web sites with higher traffic possess more prospect of downloads.
It's also advisable to analyze the approaches utilized by stock photographers on the website you opt to combine so that you can have an insight into their best method to generate money on the internet by selling stock photos on that site.
Your earning potentials for sale stock photos online actually rely on the level of one's images, the size/resolution of these graphics, your requirement for those pictures, and also the number of graphics you bring to the site. Some photographers earn hundreds, some thousands only by selling stock photos online. Essentially, your earning potential for selling stock photos online is infinite.

Medicinal Bulletproof Coffee
Last week it has been rainy and cold here, and I needed some extra boost to move me through the day. So I made a cup of really delicious Bulletproof coffee.
Bulletproof coffee is traditionally made with the best quality coffee you can get your hands on and grass fed butter plus a high quality MCT coconut oil. Since I am sensitive to dairy products ( and didn´t have the MCT oil) I used a good extra virgin coconut oil instead.
Adding fat to hot drinks is a longstanding tradition in many parts of the world. Mixing spices into coffee is also quite common. I love to add cinnamon and cardamom, it really brings out the flavor of your coffee.
To make this brew even more interesting, I also added the medicinal mushroom Chaga! Medicinal mushrooms help you to boost the immune system and increase mental clarity.
Bullet proof coffee is easy to prepare and you can convert it to energy quickly, speeding up your metabolism and giving you a cognitive boost.
Bullet proof coffee is also said to keep hunger at bay, enhance mental clarity and stimulate the body's fat-burning potential.
Sounds pretty good for a cup of coffee, don't you think? I know I prefer to drink my coffee in this way, knowing that it is giving me some nutrition and making me less hyper from the caffeine. I am sensitive to caffeine so I like to use a decaffeinated coffee or a mix of the both.
To make it you will need to get:
Then you brew 1 cup of coffee using filtered water, just off the boil, with 2 1/2 heaping tablespoons organic high quality coffee. Using a French Press is easiest. If you grind your coffee from beans...even better! The idea here is to use a coffee that is free of chemicals and that has a high level of antioxidants intact.
Any other doubts or questions you might have about Bulletproof coffee could probably be answered by this amazing graph from Olivia Thomas.

How self-driving trucks might actually mean more trucking jobs
Self-driving trucks, rather than throwing millions of drivers out of work, might actually increase the number of trucking jobs, two industry representatives told a U.S. Senate committee hearing Wednesday.
Instead of eliminating jobs, autonomous technology could change the job into something much more like that of an airline pilot, said Troy Clarke. Clarke, the head of a trucking trade group and CEO of Navistar International Corp., one of the nation's largest truck makers, said that trucks would drive themselves on long stretches of highway, but still need humans to navigate complex city streets and deal with customers on both ends of the trip.
And by taking away some of the tedium and exhaustion, robotic trucks could help attract new employees to trucking companies that often complain of driver shortages.
"They already have driverless trucks, but that's because they have trouble recruiting and retaining drivers," Clarke said, speaking to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. "Large-scale displacement of drivers is not likely to happen, especially in the short and medium term."
Concern over the fate of America's 3.5 million truckers has grown as self-driving technology advances. Several companies — including Bay Area startup Otto, which was bought last year by Uber, and Embark, a Belmont company, which has raised $17 million from investors— are developing autonomous trucks. Many of those companies say they want to develop systems that assist drivers rather than replace them.
"There's always disruption," said Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., during the hearing. "When they invented the talkies, all the piano players in the movie theaters lost their jobs. Time moves on, and we've got to have a plan in place."
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued guidelines for self-driving-car development, guidance that was updated this week by U.S. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao. Congress is also considering legislation for the fast-changing field. So far, however, that legislation has focused on cars and light-duty vehicles — not freight-hauling trucks.
Chris Spear, president of the American Trucking Associations, argued that completely autonomous trucks capable of driving themselves in all situations — a technology referred to as level 5 automation — remain decades away.
Spear, too, sees autonomous systems as easing the monotony of the job and boosting recruiting.
"We'd like them to be less fatigued, better rested, and if technology can help with that, that's good for the entire public," Spear told the committee. "Quite frankly, we don't see it as a displacement issue, because we don't believe level 5 — no steering wheel, no driver — is imminent."

Education Minister Richard Bruton insisted the controversial consultants deal — which will see 2,600 doctors receive up to €72,000 a year pay hikes — is a separate issue to the wider pay restoration talks amid fears other groups will now lodge pay claims.
Speaking on RTE's The Week in Politics programme just days after the consultants pay deal was agreed, Mr Bruton said while the €200m figure is significant it is far lower than the alternative bill of €700m if no deal was struck.
Asked if the agreement will impact on the wider pay restoration talks, the Education minister insisted the issues are unrelated as consultants had a specific complaint and that there will be no extra pay claims as a result of the deal.
"Those processes [existing pay restoration talks with other public sector unions] will proceed, as we have negotiated with the trade unions.
"It is important to say we negotiated last year with the public sector unions a programme of pay restoration that will cost €900m.
"This issue with the consultants pre-dates FEMPI. It was a case of unilateral reneging on a contract provision by the government of the time.
"The Cabinet has been advised by the Attorney General that it would be far cheaper to settle the issue now, rather than go on to the courts in a few more years," Mr Bruton said.
Mr Bruton ruled out the risk of extra pay claims despite the Irish Medical Organisation already saying it plans to extend the deal to consultants who entered the system after 2012 and as other unions said they will consider a similar move.
Meanwhile, Health Minister Simon Harris and State financial watchdog the Comptroller and Auditor General Seamus McCarthy are continuing to work to put together a new system to ensure consultants benefiting from the new deal obey strict rules on public and private sector hours.
Department of Health sources said officials are working "very closely on the issue", including a number of meetings in recent weeks on how this can take place.
It is understood the meetings are focussed on ways to "monitor and manage compliance by consultants with private practice limitations", and to use existing information to check exactly how many private sector hours individual doctors are working.
"The Comptroller and Auditor General is in the process of gathering of information from the Department of Health and the HSE.
"Department officials have met with the comptroller and auditor general on this project, and it is understood the comptroller has also engaged with the HSE on the matter," a Department source said.
Last Friday, Mr Harris and Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe confirmed the State has agreed a €200m-plus deal with consultants to pay back-dated salary increases for 2,600 doctors who signed new contracts between 2008 and 2012.
The move will see some doctors receive up to €72,000 a year pay hikes from next year.

West Ham have rejected a bid from Swansea for striker Andre Ayew, according to Sky sources.
The offer was worth up to £14m with add-ons, but the Hammers value Ayew at £20m – the price they paid Swansea when they signed him in August 2016.
Sky Sports News reported Swansea's interest in bringing the 28-year-old back to the club earlier this week.
A deal between the clubs is unlikely, with sources close to Ayew insisting he is not keen on a return to the Liberty Stadium.
The Ghana international joined Swansea from Marseille in 2015 and enjoyed a superb debut campaign in England, scoring 12 goals in 35 appearances.
Ayew has struggled to establish himself as a first-team regular at West Ham since he joined in August 2016 in a then club-record deal for the club.
He has scored 12 goals in 50 appearances for Hammers, but this season he has managed three top-flight goals in 18 appearances.
David Moyes' side have also rejected a second offer from Rennes for striker Diafra Sakho.

Venezuela in the exercise of the presidency of Mnoal advocates for the total elimination of nuclear weapons
The Movement of Non-Aligned Countries (Mnoal), under the presidency of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, celebrated and promoted on Wednesday the International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons, within the framework provided by the 73rd Period of Sessions of the General Assembly of the United Nations (UN).
On behalf of the 120 Member States of the Mnoal, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza reaffirmed the principles of the organization about firearm and nuclear disarmament, as well as the non-proliferation of any kind of nuclear weapons.
"As long as nuclear weapons exist, the risk of their use and proliferation will persist; all use of nuclear weapons constitutes a violation of the Charter of the United Nations as well as a crime against humanity (…) It is a proven fact that any use of nuclear weapons would have humanitarian consequences of catastrophic proportions; therefore, the total elimination of nuclear weapons is the only and absolute guarantee against its use", the diplomat emphasized.
In this context, Mnoal expressed its deep concern about the delay in the progress towards nuclear disarmament and the lack of progress on the part of the nuclear-weapon States, with regard to the total elimination of their arsenals in accordance with their legal and multilateral obligations.
Therefore, the Mnoal reaffirmed the need for the nuclear-weapon States, to take urgent and concrete actions aimed to achieve the goal of nuclear desarmament.
The agency also reiterated its concern for the improvement of the existing nuclear weapons, the production of new types of nuclear weapons, as the military doctrines of some nuclear weapon States contemplate, and the Nuclear Posture Review (NPR) of the Government of the United States.
"We emphasize, once again, that these upgradings, as well as the manufacture of new weapons of this type, also violate the commitments made by the nuclear-weapon States during the conclusion of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (Tpcen). and during the conferences of Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review", warned FM Arreaza on behalf of the 120 States that are part of Mnoal.
At the same time, the organism reaffirmed that the organization of the High Level International Conference on Nuclear Disarmament, according to the provisions established in the General Assembly resolutions, will provide an important opportunity to examine the progress made in the field of disarmament and thus, promote even more such a noble objective.
The Mnoal considers the annual commemoration of the International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons as one of the most effective ways to focus international public attention on the risks and threats posed to mankind by nuclear weapons and the need to eliminate them completely.
Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons
In his speech, the Venezuelan Foreign Minister stated that the Mnoal has taken note of the adoption of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, which took place on July 7, 2017, within the framework of the United Nations Conference to negotiate a legally binding instrument. binding to forbid nuclear weapons.
In this regard, he stressed that the aspiration of the agency is that once the Treaty comes into force, it contributes to advance towards the goal of the total elimination of nuclear weapons.
"The time has come to adopt a new and comprehensive approach to nuclear disarmament", he added.

How a 'Jurassic World' Surprise Unbalances the Franchise
[This story contains spoilers for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.]
Appropriately, given the subject matter, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is a movie that seeks to relive the past, and rewrite it along the way. This is true on both the macro scale — oh no, the dinosaurs are loose again — and the micro; Fallen Kingdom features an unexpected revision to the mythology of the franchise as a whole that teases that, as the cliche goes, everything you know about the history of the Jurassic World is wrong.
Heat Vision breakdown
As established in 1993's Jurassic Park, it was John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) and his bioengineering company InGen that created the cloning process and technology responsible for bringing the dinosaurs back to life, things so secret that it was easier to try and hire InGen employees to steal information than for competitors to simply reverse engineer it or hire anyone else. I know, I know; the plot demanded it. But still. As late as Jurassic World, Hammond was treated as the sole author and arbiter of the technology, and therefore the dinosaurs themselves.
And then, Fallen Kingdom introduces Benjamin Lockwood (James Cromwell), the previously unknown co-creator of the cloning technology, who had split with Hammond before the first movie because of ideological and ethical disagreements over what to do with the technology. On the one hand, it's a retcon that is easy to insert, because of course Hammond would write this man out of the official corporate version of events, considering they'd fallen out. Then again, the idea that Lockwood wouldn't be mentioned or make any kind of appearance in any of the earlier four movies — even simply as an alternate option for the rival corporations trying to undercut InGen — is a stretch, to say the least.
The addition of Lockwood is a curious one; in many ways, he's purely fulfilling the need for a Hammond-esque figure in the narrative, after the death of the character between the second and fourth movies in the series (Attenborough himself died in 2014). Lockwood, in fact, is closer to the original incarnation of Hammond in Michael Crichton's original Jurassic Park novel in terms of an apparent willingness to disregard certain ethical dilemmas; after all, Lockwood has no problem with human cloning, having mastered bringing dinosaurs back to life.
Yet he presents a larger problem for the series as a whole, because his introduction — and that of his "granddaughter" Maisie (Isabella Sermon), more importantly — immediately makes the rest of the Jurassic franchise seem dull by comparison. Sure, there are dinosaurs running around, but there's also this other scientist who's apparently been cloning actual human beings for years. What else has he been up to since splitting with Hammond, more than two decades earlier? And who else has he partnered with in all that time? His relationship with Eli Mills certainly suggests he's hardly the best judge of character…
Lockwood opens up the scope of the franchise, but also arguably overextends it. Once you take the cloning focus away from the dinosaurs — even just for one character, as part of a shock reveal — it changes what the entire series is about: Is it not a dinosaurs gone wild series anymore? Is it actually about ethics in cloning after all? Are we reducing the dinosaurs to a metaphor again, instead of leaning into their potential for spectacle and over-the-top action sequences?
If so, it feels like a move away from what audiences actually want from a Jurassic movie towards something more intellectual, contemporary…and more generic. Perhaps, if moviegoers are lucky, this new retcon will itself be retconned away — or, at least, ignored, by the time Jurassic World 3 rolls around in 2020.

Note: This performance review was created when the 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 was new.
The 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 gets adequate power from its base V6, according to automotive writers. They say the Silverado gets excellent power from its V8 engines, which are well-suited for towing. Critics add that it delivers a quiet ride and composed handling, even with a heavy payload. They note that the available eight-speed transmission outperforms the standard six-speed automatic.
The Silverado's base engine is a 4.3-liter V6 that puts out 285 horsepower and 305 pound-feet of torque. A 5.3-liter V8 that produces 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque is available, and a 6.2-liter V8 that puts out 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque is available in the Double and Crew Cab models. A six-speed automatic transmission is standard, and an eight-speed automatic transmission is available with the V8 engines. The base Silverado gets an EPA-estimated 18/24 mpg city/highway, while the 5.3-liter V8 gets 16/23 mpg city/highway and the 6.2-liter V8 gets 15/21 city/highway. Those estimates are good for the class.
The base V6 engine is capable, some automotive writers report, but the available V8 engines stand out for their higher power output and better towing capacities. The standard six-speed automatic transmission downshifts slowly, according to some critics. Most praise the eight-speed automatic as the better transmission because of its superior gear ratios and timelier shifting.
Rear-wheel drive is standard with the 2016 Silverado 1500, and four-wheel drive is available. Test drivers report that the Silverado rides comfortably and negotiates imperfect roads with ease. They praise its handling, saying it maneuvers well in tight quarters. Critics appreciate the responsive steering and find that the brakes are strong and have good pedal feel.
With its V6 engine, the Silverado has a max towing capacity of 7,600 pounds and a max payload of 1,960 pounds. When equipped with the 6.2-liter V8 engine and the Max Trailering Package, the 2016 Silverado can tow up to 12,000 pounds. It also offers a maximum payload of 2,260 pounds when properly equipped. Some think the gear ratios on the standard six-speed transmission are not ideally spaced for towing, although they say the available eight-speed transmission remedies this issue.

Tailored for your operation and production targets.
Excellent wear life
Reduce costly liner maintenance.
Upgrades and retrofits
Expert services and a wide range of chute liners.
Customized chutes for mining operations
Metso designs, manufactures and supplies engineered and tailored chute solutions to your exact needs. This includes lined hood and spoon style chutes as well as our Wearback™ chutes, which are the industry leading rock-on-rock transfer technology.
All chute designs are backed by extensive computational simulations ensuring the best possible solution for the given application.
Metso technology is used in:
- Conveyor transfer chutes
- Crusher feed and discharge chutes
- Feeder discharge chutes
- Tripper chutes
- Stacker chutes
- Mill feed and discharge chutes
Excellent wear life
Wearback™ chutes are designed with a series of curved and straight ledges allowing material to build up throughout the transfer, forming a layer of material as the wear medium. This so-called rock-on-rock chute design increases wear-life on average by up to 400% compared to conventionally lined hood and spoon style chutes.
Wearback™ chutes are the preferred choice where there are considerable drop heights and changes in feed direction. They are designed to ensure soft loading to the outgoing conveyor by delivering material at velocities that closely match the conveyor speed. Softer delivery minimizes top cover wear and reduces the risk of impact damage to the conveyor belt.
A full computational analysis is performed on each chute design to ensure optimum performance.
Upgrades and retrofits
In many cases, increases in throughput can be achieved by updating the old chute with a tailored chute liner package or as an alternative, converting the chute from a traditional design to a high performing low-wear Wearback™ chute.
Metso has a wide range of different type of chute liners that are available in industry-standard sizes but also can be fully customised for your unique application.
Our expert chute and mining teams can also install and maintain chutes and chute liners when required.
