So What's New?
Neuilly, France, April 10, 1990 - Bruno Desnoulez and Andre Dejoux patented a tackle reduction corkscrew back in 1983. The original design has a pulley system. A handle is attached to the pulley via a "rope" which pulls a cork out when the handle and a series of telescoping tubes are lifted. The mechanical patent (No. 4,93,733) acknowledges the 1908 German patent (No. 204,020) by Klostermann and a 1970 French Patent (No. 1,589,350 by Aimé Ceppe.
In discussing the Klostermann and Ceppe patents, Bruno and Andre state "The embodiment of these corkscrews is complicated and onerous; moreover, they generate friction that cause a part of the gain in the reduction of the removal effort to be lost." In their 1983 they cover three different designs including a t-handle telescoping version and a ring pull version.
Today Bruno received United States Design Patent Number D307,102 for a casing design for the 1983 patent. His patent was assigned to Anne-Marie Prevost in Paris. The design application was filed in 1987 and it is already being marketed under the names "Kariba" and "Liftboy. The "barrels" are plastic and are available in red, white, black and silver.

Solingen, Germany, April 10, 1894 - Eduard Becker was issued German Patent #70879 on March 7, 1893 for his "Columbus" Corkscrew. He subsequently received English Patent #17,924 October 28, 1893. Now he has been granted American Patent #518,018 for this corkscrew. The ring hold the split barrel together during cork removal. Once the cork is removed from the bottle, the ring is moved up, the sides split and the cork can be removed from the worm. The spring between the handle and the frame assists the extraction by exerting pressure on the handle to gradually withdraw the cork.
Becker says "My invention includes a movable frame on the spindle of the screw made in two parts, adapted to clamp or engage the neck of the bottle and spring between the frame and the handle of the screw arranged to exert its force to draw the cork by moving the spindle through the frame."

A property manager or real estate agent is someone or company charged with running a particular real estate property for a certain fee, whether the owner is sick or unwilling to do that or is not interested. They manage the property by making sure no unauthorized damages are done and fixing any problems that may come up. There are different types of property managers, and you will find that each one has its specialty. However, certain general principles apply to all property managers. In addition, it should be clarified that not all property managers are the same.
Property Managers have different job requirements than agents. Property managers have to ensure tenants are happy with the rental, pay rent on time, and that their properties are in safe and acceptable condition. It is also their responsibility to check whether all the duties of an agent have been fulfilled. On the other hand, agents can conduct the tenant screening and collect the agreed rents from the tenants.
Property owners and managers work very closely with their staff. They are required to check the status of every rent payment. Any late fees should be immediately communicated to the property owners. Also, the managers have to handle all complaints raised by their tenants. A landlord must keep his rental properties clean and well maintained.
The main advantages of hiring a property management company include lower expenses and more time. Property management companies are readily available, and most of them do not charge for an initial interview. Once hired, your firm is automatically assigned a team of managers. The managers can be allocated according to your preference.
If you are looking for an easy way of hiring property managers, it's the best time to hire a property management company. Property managers will manage the rental units you are looking to rent out. They collect the monthly rents from tenants, keep an inventory of the properties, and handle security, cleaning, collecting rent, maintenance, etc. The main advantage of hiring a property management company is that you can expect hassle-free service from them.
The disadvantages of hiring managers include the cost, which is a bit higher than the average property management fee charged by firms. Also, it doesn't come as a free service; instead, they will charge you based on their expertise and the number of rental units they manage. Also, you won't get anything extra like advertising or marketing, but the firms offer other services. Another disadvantage is that they don't take care of everything for you, such as collecting rent or maintaining the building. They are supposed to perform these functions because they have experience in the business, but the job of landlords is much more complex and more detailed.
Property owners who are taking a risk by hiring property management companies should also know that it could be the best decision they ever make. Many companies out there have excellent track records and high customer satisfaction but flourish because they are very hard workers. Their employees don't only care about getting high profits out of each property they manage, but they also want to do everything possible to ensure that their tenants will be satisfied with their service.
Property management companies also have something that apartment and condo owners don't, which is experience. Property managers have been in the business for years, which means they have almost every type of property you can think of, and a lot more that they can't. This means that they have developed relationships with most property management companies in the city and know how to deal with different people. A good property management company will also have good connections to landlords, so if you need help from them, they'll be able to assist you.

Rat infestations are more common in large cities and urban areas, and they're one of the first creatures that come to mind when someone thinks of "vermin" or "diseased creatures".
Most people are also instinctively put-off by them—the beady eyes, hairless tails, and big yellow teeth all send off signals to steer clear.
There is likely an evolutionary explanation for this as rats are responsible for many diseases, most notably, The Black Death.
While The Black Death is no longer a major problem like it was in the past, a rat infestation is still likely to make you and your whole family sick.
The 2 main diseases rats carry are salmonellosis and hantavirus—both of these are severely unpleasant at best and fatal at worst.
There are different ways rats spread disease:
- Urin,
- Feces,
- Bites & scratches.
Signs of a rat infestation include property damage, rat droppings, holes chewed in storage boxes or food containers, scratching sounds, bad odors, and pets acting up.
Squirrels are cute when you see them outdoors and it's always fun to get your dogs worked up over them, but when they enter your home, your sentiments are likely to change.
Signs of a squirrel infestation includes hearing strange noises; seeing squirrel droppings; holes or damaged areas of your home that serve as entry and exit points; damage to your duct work, soffits and fascia, roofing, and insulation; seeing nests inside your house; foul odor; seeing more squirrels around your property.
Beyond the obvious issue of property damage, squirrel infestations can be dangerous for a number of reasons:
- They can gnaw through electrical wiring, which is a major fire hazard;
- Their urine and feces is, well, just that—something unsanitary that you don't want around your house;
- Squirrels die—especially if you try to poison them in an attempt to solve the problem yourself—and then their carcasses are going to stick around in hard-to-find places, which is another disease-causing factor.
Raccoons can be cute and all, but they're actually very aggressive and pesky creatures. They've been known to full-on charge fully grown men (which is a scarrier event than you might think if you've seen how big a raccoon can get).
Raccoons are in fact one of the most damaging pests you can have in and around your property. They get into your trash, damage your electrical systems (again: fire hazard), tear up walls and ceilings, damage your insulation and siding of your house…the list goes on.
They can also carry diseases, including:
- Rabies,
- Baylisascaris procyonis—a roundworm parasite,
- Giardiasis (giardia)—an infectious protozoa,
- Leptospirosis—a bacterial infection.
Trying to remove wildlife on your own seems daunting. The truth is, it's basically impossible, especially if you're trying to work it into your schedule on top of work and other obligations.
Without the right precautions or PPE, you risk contracting diseases, bites, or even making the problem worse.
What's more, there are typically laws you have to abide by—you may need a permit and releasing animals on certain lands is illegal.
The best solution is to contact a wildlife removal company. They'll take care of the dirty work so you don't have to.

A fun life skills checklist printable to ensure you are teaching your kids all the know hows they need to learn before they leave the nest!
When it came down that our school would be closing- I knew I wanted to put together a list of skills I wanted my kids to learn! My daughter leaves for college in a year and a half and I'm doing that checklist of "what do I need to teach her before she moves out!" So I created a life skills checklist that we are working on slowly!
Keep in mind that this list is for my family (I did include it in the printable link in case you need some ideas) but my kids are 12, 14, and 16. So they are geared for older kids! If you have little kids, you could teach them to load the dishwasher, baking basics like TBS and TSP, How to clip your own fingernails, Tie a shoe, General Hygiene, What to do in an emergency, what to do if the toilet overflows, etc!
This is from when we all learned how to tie a tie.
We all had a lesson and then had a race to see who could tie their tie the fastest! The girls learned how to french braid each other's hair and I taught the kids how to address an envelope and where to put the stamp!
Here is the printable. There is my version and a blank one so you can fill in your own!

Super Mario Bros. Wonder had me hooked from the moment I saw Mario transform into an elephant man. In this unusual new form, Mario can bash enemies with his trunk, soak up water to spray at friends and foes, and — from a crouching position — perform an incredibly impressive push-up to launch himself into the air. Playing as Mario, as an elephant, was delightful.
I immediately needed to see Princess Peach and Toad as elephant people. Witnessing those two as chunky pachyderms, their forms straining the seams of their bloomers and harem pants, and watching them squeeze through warp pipes… Well, it may be Nintendo's funniest visual gag outside of the Paper Mario series.
The Elephant Fruit is just one of the brand-new power-ups available in Super Mario Bros. Wonder's new destination, the Flower Kingdom, and they make the act of playing a 2D side-scrolling Super Mario game feel fresh again. This uncharted world full of new enemies and new abilities made me feel like I was playing a direct sequel to Super Mario World more so than, say, Yoshi's Island or the New Super Mario Bros. games. It's spilling over with new ideas, including the game-changing Wonder Flower, while sticking to the side-scrolling core of what makes Mario great.
The powerful Wonder Flower is at the heart of Super Mario Bros. Wonder's setup — which is, thankfully, not about a damsel in distress, but an entire kingdom.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder starts in dramatic fashion, with longtime nemesis Bowser acquiring the power of a Wonder Flower and spectacularly merging his body (and Koopa Clown Car) with the Flower Kingdom's castle. Yes, Bowser is part building in this game, and he uses his evil powers to imprison many of the kingdom's residents: flower-crowned Toad-like creatures known as Poplins.
The whole Mario gang is here for the rescue mission of Prince Florian's castle: Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Toad, Toadette, various Yoshis, and Nabbit. Players set off to visit new lands and use new abilities as any of these characters, in teams of up to four.
Familiar powers imbued by Super Mushrooms, Fire Flowers, and Super Stars are present in the Flower Kingdom, but fun new abilities like the Elephant Fruit offer new ways to battle enemies. Other power-up items I used during a short hands-on session with Super Mario Bros. Wonder include the Drill Mushroom, which gives characters a drill bit for a hat, allowing them to crack apart rocks and gems or burrow into floors and ceilings; and the Bubble Flower, which lets Mario and friends spit out bubbles that seek out and absorb enemies. Those bubbles also become ad hoc platforms, giving players an extra bounce to cross large gaps.
Then there are the Wonder Flowers, one of which seems to spawn in most levels, that deliver the game's most dramatic effects. It's not quite a power-up, but an instrument for showing off Nintendo's creativity. In the first trailer for Super Mario Bros. Wonder, we saw the new item in action: Mario touched the flower, and the level's array of Green Pipes went wild, undulating, gushing water, one crawling across the screen like a huge metal inchworm. In other levels that I played at a recent hands-on event in New York, that Wonder Flower summoned a rampaging herd of Bulrushes — buffalolike creatures that wear wrestling singlets — or turned our characters into helpless Goombas. That Goomba transformation turned a traditional Mario level into a game of stealth; me and my mushroomy friends had to hide behind trees to avoid being chomped by Maw-Maws, a new kind of land-dwelling catfish-y creature.
The stage-specific gimmicks of Wonder Flowers are probably worth avoiding for now, though Nintendo showed plenty of them in a recent Nintendo Direct showcase. Spoiling them might ruin the thrill of discovering them for yourself when Super Mario Bros. Wonder launches this October.
Wonder's new starring item will be appreciated by both Super Mario fans and younger players who may be new to the series. Touching one and seeing its dramatic effects is awe-inspiring. It changes the rhythm of a Super Mario Bros. level, asking players to switch up tactics on the fly. I can see players enjoying games of Super Mario Bros. Wonder with kids, parents, or partners, retrying levels just one more time to try to experience the magic of a Wonder Flower effect.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder is built with multiplayer in mind. It can be played solo, of course, but up to four players can enjoy it cooperatively. Not all playable characters are created equal; while heroes like Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad can enjoy the full suite of Wonder's power-ups, Yoshis and Nabbit can't. But those latter two characters also don't take damage. (They can still fall to their deaths, however.) Yoshi, who comes in four color options, can instead be a helpful escort; other players can ride on its back. Parents or partners with better Mario skills may want to pick Yoshi to help other players get through tough spots.
Beyond Yoshi, Wonder feels incredibly generous in catering to players who may not be Mario experts. When characters die, they become wispy-tailed specters that can then be revived. Past Super Mario games put downed characters into a bubble from which they could be rescued. Wonder streamlines that, turning them into ghosts that can move freely and be brought back to life when another player touches them. It immediately feels like a better system than, say, how New Super Mario Bros. Wii handled the chaos of cooperative Mario play.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder is full of other helpful touches. Players can acquire and equip Badges that offer everyone boosts or special abilities. They'll grant players more powerful jumps, for example, allowing them to float like Luigi in Super Mario Bros. 2, or let them use their hat as a parachute to slow their descent. Badges can also confer bonuses, like additional coins to help accelerate acquiring extra lives and a Safety Bounce that nullifies instant-kill stage hazards like lava or spikes.
Cooperative play can be enjoyed locally with a full team of players, or with live "player shadows" in online play. Nintendo calls online multiplayer a "subtle connection" with other Super Mario Bros. Wonder players in a style that feels almost Dark Souls-inspired. Players can also play some moments competitively, engaging in friendly races after gathering in online lobbies.
After spending an all-too-brief hands-on session with Super Mario Bros. Wonder, I walked away with a sense of awe. The game feels energetic and inspired, and considerate of Mario fans both new and old. It's a showcase game, one that feels like a perfect send-off for the Nintendo Switch — even though its exploration of new Mario ideas could have easily been saved for the next generation of Nintendo hardware.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder comes to Nintendo Switch on Oct. 20. Two weeks prior, Nintendo will release a new colorway of the Switch OLED model itself, with a red color scheme and clever Super Mario decorative details.

Software vs. hardware virtualization
The benchmark was done with VT-enabled Pentium 4. It would be interesting to see how the AMD's Pacifica hardware virtualization compares.
1 comment:
- NetBoy said...
Typically the argument for Hardware virtualization or Software Virtualization comes down to these factors:
1. Typically Hardware virtualization (best example is blade server) have more raw IO and processing capabilities in a smaller physical space.
The idea is meant for a data center where, for example, you need a lot of processing power say for hosting game server and you want to throw a lot of new servers online to handle the increasing volume.
Another example would be a web hosting facility or similar server host facility where rack space is a premium.
In a hosting facility you pay monthly for rack space so the initial costs of the blade server environment can make sense (although this is a delicate balance vs small 1U servers).
2. Typical Software virtualization (best examples VMWare, Hyper-V, Xen) offers better utilization of hardware resources and less power.
This idea is meant underutilized server, for example, a corporate environment where hardware is underutilized like a file server that requires a lot of disk space but not much on processor or memory and a web server that is not much on hardware, processor, or memory and maybe a login server that doesn't do much processing. Make them all virtual machines and save yourself some hardware cost.
Most, corporate servers typically only utilize about 10 to 15% of the hardware's capabilities. Also, and this is important, software virtualization give a ton of flexibility. - 05 August, 2009 20:10

Here's more on the Proton X50, this time indirectly, from Geely. The soon to be launched B-segment SUV will come with two engines, a 1.5 TGDi for the Flagship and the 1.5T for the Standard, Executive and Premium variants.
The 1.5 TGDi is a direct-injection three-cylinder turbo engine developed by Geely and Volvo. With 177 PS at 5,500 rpm and 255 Nm of torque from 1,500 to 4,000 rpm, the X50 Flagship's fuel consumption is officially rated at 6.4 litres per 100 km (15.6 km/l). Paired to a seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmission also seen in the CKD X70, 0-100 km/h should be similar to the 7.9 seconds quoted by Geely for the Binyue a.k.a. Coolray.
More mysterious is the 1.5T engine in the rest of the range. This is because the engine will make its debut in the X50, and before the media preview last week, many did not know of its existence. What we know officially so far is that it's a port-injection version of the 1.5 TGDi three-cylinder turbo, it has 150 PS/226 Nm, and claimed fuel consumption is 6.5 litres per 100 km (15.4 km/l).
Well, here's Geely to shed some light on the new 1.5T engine, for the first time. In an article focusing on the 1.5TD engine range and interviewing Hakan Sandquist, Geely's director of powertrain strategy at CEVT, the company explained the rationale behind the 1.5TD engine family, which houses the X50's two engines.
We'll go deeper into the company's reasons for downsizing and three cylinders later, but here's the origins of the 1.5T and the 1.5TD engine family. The 1.5TD range was jointly developed by Geely and Volvo at Volvo's R&D centre in Gothenburg, CEVT China Euro Vehicle Technology in the same Swedish city, and the Geely Research Institute in China. The Volvo Engine Architecture (VEA) developed by Volvo under Geely forms the foundation of the 1.5TD.
The 1.5TD range was designed to support electrification (mild hybrid, hybrid, plug-in hybrid) and currently, the modular engine series has three base variants. The range starts with the 1.5T PFI, which is the 1.5T in the X50. PFI stands for port fuel injection. The next one is the 1.5TD using direct injection – this is the 1.5 TGDi in the X50 Flagship.
Lastly, there's a 1.5T Miller. Designed specifically for hybrid applications, the variable valve timing in this PFI mill is adjusted to enable the engine to run on the more fuel efficient Miller cycle.
All three engines in the 1.5TD family are 1,477 cc three-pot turbos with similar bore and stroke measurements of 82 mm and 93.2 mm. What differs is the compression ratio, which is expected because of the different fuel injection systems – it's 10:1 for the 1.5T PFI, 10.5:1 for the 1.5TD (1.5 TGDi) and 11.5:1 for the 1.5T Miller PFI.
Geely has also shared the minimum Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC) of the engines, which is 238 g/kWh for the 1.5T PFI, 232 g/kWh for the 1.5TD (1.5 TGDi) and 220 g/kWh for the 1.5T Miller PFI. BSFC is used to compare the fuel efficiency of internal combustion engines – the lower the figures, the better.
Lastly, power and torque outputs. The 1.5T kicks things off at 150 PS (110 kW) at 5,500 rpm and 226 Nm of torque available from 1,500 to 4,000 rpm; the 1.5TD (1.5 TGDi) on RON 95 does 179 PS (132 kW) at 5,500 rpm and 265 Nm of torque from 1,500 to 4,000 rpm; while the 1.5T Miller is good for 143 PS (105 kW) at 5,500 rpm and 215 Nm of torque from 2,500 to 4,000 rpm. The 1.5TD figures will be 177 PS (130 kW) if tuned for RON 92 petrol, and 177 PS and 255 Nm, which is what Proton quotes.
So there you have it, an official mention of the 1.5T PFI engine by Geely and its lineage. This also proves that the 1.5T is a global engine from Geely-Volvo's global engine family and not a "Malaysian special" commissioned by Proton for local use only.
We've already covered the X50 extensively from the media preview that happened last week, and you can check it out here. Below are the spec-by-spec differences that we know so far. Bear in mind though that the images you see here are of the top Flagship variant – Proton has yet to reveal the other variants in the metal.

How did the prophets of the Bible receive their prophecy? Aryeh Kaplan, who was a rabbi, author, and physicist, responds to this question at the start of his book Meditation and the Bible. He suggests that meditation is an intrinsically Jewish practice–and that it was actually the primary tool used by Israel's prophets to receive Divine communication."There are two methods to attain a mystical state, meditation and drugs," writes Kaplan, "and there is no objective evidence in the Bible that such substances were involved."
Indeed the ancient writings are chock-full of references to meditative techniques, to the point where prophets almost never interact with the Divine without meditating.
For instance, when King David prays, "My flesh and heart fade away, while God becomes the rock of my heart" (Psalms 73:26), he isn't merely being metaphorical–he's actually ascending into an alternate state of consciousness.
Kaplan doesn't merely research these terms–he also uses them to introduce practical meditation techniques. In Kaplan's methodology, all sorts of Jewish practices are compatible with meditation, and you might already be taking the first steps toward meditating without even realizing it–just by reciting a prayer or observing Shabbat.

How about a little snowman soup to keep you warm while your out shopping or during that hustle and bustle! I did these little snowman boxes with some homemade marshmallows, hot cocoa, candy cane, Hershey kisses and an orange M&M. Attached is a little saying that you can search on the internet for, there are so many different ones and then make it your own or leave it ;) Along with a picture of what the snowman soup looks like when all items are placed in the cup. I hope you enjoy and have a wonderful day :)

It's a Good Time to Take a Deeper Look at Jared Diamond's Collapse
Last night, I presented my synopsis of Hot, Flat, and Crowded by Thomas Friedman. It was a large, opinionated, animated group. The conversations were passionate, and the whole evening really was quite a learning experience.
One participant walked up afterward, and asked "have you read Collapse?" (I love it when I can answer yes to the question "have you read____?")
He observed that Collapse is a book with real implications for the whole oil usage/crisis question. I think he is right.
The message of Collapse: How Societies Chose to Fail or Succeed, written by Pulitzer winner Jared Diamond, is that culture after culture throughout history has "collapsed," many because they lived only for the day and did not make the right choices for tomorrow. They "used up" what they had, foolishly – tragically. But, because it was then and not now, their collapse was an isolated collapse.
We now are too connected to "collapse" all by ourselves. Diamond wrote:
"Globalization makes it impossible for modern societies to collapse in isolation… Any society in turmoil today, no matter how remote, can cause trouble for prosperous societies on other continents, and is also subject to their influence (whether helpful or destabilizing). For the first time in history, we face the risk of global decline. But we are also the first to enjoy the opportunity of learning quickly from developments in societies anywhere in the world today, and from what has unfolded in societies at any time in the past. That's why I wrote this book."
He tells the stories of a number of "collapses," including modern day Montana, and Easter Island, and the Norse in Greenland, and others.
Diamond presents a five point framework for collapse:
1) Environmental damage.
2) Climate change
3) Hostile neighbors
4) Friendly trade partners
5) The society's response to its environmental problems
And he asks this perplexing question:
" How could a society fail to have seen the dangers that seem so clear to us in retrospect?"
(or – "what were Easter Islanders saying as they cut down the last tree on their island?")
I think the participant was correct. It's a good time to take another, very close look at Collapse.
For a quick read of just one of the stories in Collapse, check out Malcolm Gladwell's The Vanishing for The New Yorker, his retelling, from the book, of the collapse of the Norse in Greenland. Cultural snobbery was one of the reasons they collapsed. Here's Gladwell's concluding paragraph:
When archeologists looked through the ruins of the Western Settlement, they found plenty of the big wooden objects that were so valuable in Greenland—crucifixes, bowls, furniture, doors, roof timbers—which meant that the end came too quickly for anyone to do any scavenging. And, when the archeologists looked at the animal bones left in the debris, they found the bones of newborn calves, meaning that the Norse, in that final winter, had given up on the future. They found toe bones from cows, equal to the number of cow spaces in the barn, meaning that the Norse ate their cattle down to the hoofs, and they found the bones of dogs covered with knife marks, meaning that, in the end, they had to eat their pets. But not fish bones, of course. Right up until they starved to death, the Norse never lost sight of what they stood for.

Is it a hack if you're just putting together two separate items from a menu? Well, according to the internet, the answer is a big YES! As frivolous as the hacks may sound, fans (and former employees!) who have tried these Chick-Fil-A secret menu hacks swear by them and we are here for it.
Many daring individuals have risked their tastebuds and confused innocent drive-thru staff in their attempts to try these hacks. Some were just fortunate enough to be in the right outlet at the right time.
Nevertheless, if you're one to go wherever Tik-Tok viral videos lead, then these Chick-Fil-A secret menu hacks need to be on your list!
Disclaimer: Not all Chick-Fil-A outlets will entertain customers who request pre-made versions of the hacks. Whether or not customers get secret menu items depends largely on the time and the outlet's policy. Lunch and dinner rush hours are not ideal times to try these hacks.
Food Hacks
1. Grilled Cheese
As awesome as grilled cheese is, it is not an official item on the CFA menu. However, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that Chick-Fil-A has bread and cheese.
If you're really craving this cheesy snack you could try your luck by asking the staff if they'd slap one together for you. It's usually no big deal to grab bread typically used for their sandwich and toast it together with their sliced cheese.
2. Custom Cool Wraps
Ahh…grilled chicken breast with crunchy fresh lettuce and sliced cheese wrapped in flaxseed flour flatbread. What else could you ask for? Apparently – anything!
One of the Chick-Fil-A secret menu hacks is that you can ask to add or substitute anything when it comes to your Cool Wraps. From a piece of breaded spicy grilled chicken to condiments like corn, beans, or tomatoes, you can have it just the way you like it.
3. Grilled Chicken Bagel
Since CFA serves bagels and cream cheese as part of their breakfast menu, some outlets can be persuaded to mix things up if you ask nicely.
Ask for a grilled chicken bagel and they'll throw in a grilled chicken fillet, Colby jack cheese, and tomato slices. Now that's a hearty bagel you need to sink your teeth in!
4. Buffalo Chicken Sandwich
Whoever came up with this hack is either a genius or someone with a wicked agenda. We'll say he's a genius, though, because the zesty zing from the Buffalo Sauce literally takes this ordinary spicy chicken sandwich to the next level. If you can take the heat, this is a must-try!
5. Wet Nugs
This next Chick-Fil-A secret menu hack tastes way better than it sounds. Essentially, you just 'wet' the nugs, A.K.A. nuggets, in buffalo sauce. When we say wet, we mean drench the box like you're drowning those poor chicken bites in a sea of sauce.
Finally, shake it like your life depends on it. You'll end up with a juicy mess of spicy chicken nuggets, which is probably the most amazing thing you'll have in a long time.
Make sure to ask for the grilled nugget's box if you don't want spicy sauce spilling onto everything like your car seat or your cat.
6. Breakfast Samples
Only the early birds can vouch for this urban legend because apparently, some Chick-Fil-A outlets give out free breakfast items as samples in the morning.
Several former employees of CFA reported that they tend to surprise paying customers with goodie bags of random breakfast items at the drive-thru. This happens between 10:30 am to about 10:45 am, so set your reminders, guys.
7. Barnyard Biscuit
Speaking of delicious breakfasts, this next hack sounds like something straight out of the farm. That's probably due to the mesh of different meats and dairy products found in a single biscuit.
The Barnyard Biscuit is the name for a special combination of crispy chicken fillet, warm fresh eggs, cheese, and a savory sausage patty on a buttery biscuit. Otherwise known as the regular chicken, egg, and cheese biscuit with a sausage patty added.
Drink and Dessert Hacks
1. Frosted Drinks
If you're here for Chick-Fil-A's famed frosted drinks, we've got your back. Many outlets won't see it as a hassle to turn your drink of choice into a frosted one so you can safely order a Frosted Dr. Pepper or even a Frosted Coffee with Oreos.
However, if you're faced with outlets that won't mix it for you, it could be due to sanitary concerns (and rightly so). Not to worry as you can always order the vanilla ice cream and your drink separately and mix it on your own. It's definitely worth it!
2. Strawberry Lemonade
Perhaps one of the more well-known secret menu items, the strawberry lemonade from Chick-Fil-A can even be ordered by name. This refreshing blend is made of the original lemonade with a scoop of Icedream and some strawberry puree from their strawberry milkshakes
3. Free Ice Cream
Those making a Chick-Fil-A swing without a child in tow would be glad to know that you can enjoy a nice scoop of old-fashioned ice cream on the house. Just order any one of the three available Kid's Meal and ask for a toy substitution.
While CFA might give another form of dessert instead, most fans have reported receiving the vanilla Icedream and they're not complaining!
Aren't you glad to be in the know about these Chick-Fil-A secret menu hacks? Now you can flex about it the next time you're heading to a CFA drive-thru with the guys. Need something else to flex about? Find the latest food items or promotions about your favorite fast-food joints here at LokaEats.

In last week's post about being in a (not the) food story, you realize you didn't come out of the birth canal counting carbs. Something happened along the way to make food a battle and you live in a culture eager to retell and glorify this story. With America more secular, Adam and Eve have been replaced by Bob and Jillian to redeem your food sins. The Biggest Loser (BL) ranch has replaced the garden and heaven is now a makeover and a size 4 dress that isn't black.
Yet apparently heaven isn't what it used to be. The majority of BL contestants gain all their weight back and crash their metabolisms. And for the rest of us? Jillian Michaels said on Anderson, "I don't know how I keep selling books to you guys. Eat less, move more, it is that frigging simple!"
The problem is 1. The latest, functional medicine research explains it's not that simple and 2. Change, the kind necessary to stop battling food, requires a completely different skill set beyond being trained in how to count calories.
When you hear weight-loss success stories, just about everyone says the same thing: "I stopped beating myself up for slip ups" or "I finally got that it wasn't just about food". What they aren't saying is how they arrived there. "There" being how they changed how they saw themselves and food.
A big problem with most health and weight-loss experts: they don't understand the change process. They don't realize that everyone arrives there in a different way.
I don't know anyone alive where food is just food. You have your own memories, demons and hopes attached to food. And, a unique biochemistry too. The biggest flaw in your current food story is thinking someone else can know your body better than you.
Your food needs are unique to you. In reclaiming your inner authority, you learn how to learn. This sustains your health and weight-loss success because you feel empowered walking the lifetime spiral staircase of wellness.
The real breakthrough in nutrition isn't another new food or nutrition study. It's ending the flawed patriarchal idea of an authority figure and subject.
No one is a weight-loss whisperer who can magically tell you what you need. That's why Jillian Michaels keeps selling books. She and the convention she represents don't allow you to come to your own food conclusions. If anything, the major stories being told confirm your worst fears: you are weak, and should be ashamed and insecure.
On the flip side is my approach, Truce with Food™, where I show you how to identify the foods and lifestyle changes for yourself. I assume you are smart, capable and, with the right guidance, can propel yourself. When I see my clients years later, they are often in exponentially better places than when we worked together. For one example, look at Karen who lost 60 pounds and was featured in the Philadelphia Inquirer for her sustained success.
Researchers and academics used to believe adult brains didn't change much after adolescence. However, it's generally accepted this isn't true anymore. Food and diet advice is given in the least effective way adults change, by "training".
But training doesn't change you on the level you need to change. Think of the standard corporate diversity training program: people do not generally leave suddenly tolerant, or wanting to give women raises so they aren't making $0.77 on the dollar to men. Just as reading about 10 New SuperFoods that also CLEAN LAUNDRY to Lose 10 Pounds in 10 Weeks makes you buy a magazine, but not buy into enough change to make a difference.
I created Truce with Food™ to help people through the four stages of change necessary to bridge the gap from fighting themselves and nutrition information to the simplicity of eating real, whole food in a peaceful way.
You don't need more information – you do need more understanding. Not only does Truce with Food™ integrate the most current nutritional science, but it is delivered in a way to shift your internal story of food. You then have a worldview that provides the expert inner knowing and confidence that travels to the grocery store, work, parties and vacations.
If Eve didn't give Adam the apple, she probably would have been accused of starving him. I'm more curious why Adam wasn't responsible for himself or what's the protective wisdom in your bad eating? You'll start to see that how you frame the story and question determines your answers and behavior.

Valve has just massively overhauled its Steam refund policy, allowing customers to apply for refunds on "nearly any purchase", and for "any reason". There are some small dependencies of course, and refunds differ between different types of products e.g. bundles, movies etc.
But the good news is, for the most part, Valve will give your dosh back if you're unhappy.
"You can request a refund for nearly any purchase on Steam—for any reason." stated the announcement. "Maybe your PC doesn't meet the hardware requirements; maybe you bought a game by mistake; maybe you played the title for an hour and just didn't like it."
The overarching policy is that the refund in question must be made within 14 days of purchase, and you cannot have more than two hours played with any game. However, even when falling outside of this requirement, Valve will still "take a look" and see if anything can be done.
Here's the exact policies on the variety of different products Steam offers, and their individual refund requirements.
- Refunds on Downloadable Content: DLC purchased from the Steam store is refundable within fourteen days of purchase, and if the underlying title has been played for less than two hours since the DLC was purchased, so long as the DLC has not been consumed, modified or transferred. Please note that in some cases, Steam will be unable to give refunds for some third party DLC (for example, if the DLC irreversibly levels up a game character). These exceptions will be clearly marked as nonrefundable on the Store page prior to purchase.
- Refunds on In-game Purchases: Steam will offer refund for in-game purchases within any Valve-developed games within forty-eight hours of purchase, so long as the in-game item has not been consumed, modified or transferred. Third-party developers will have the option to enable refunds for in-game items on these terms. Steam will tell you at the time of purchase if the game developer has opted to offer refunds on the in-game item you are buying. Otherwise, in-game purchases in non-Valve games are not refundable through Steam.
- Refunds on Pre-Purchased Titles: When you pre-purchase a title on Steam (and have paid for the title in advance), you can request a refund at any time prior to release of that title. The standard 14-day/two-hour refund period also applies, starting on the game's release date.
- Steam Wallet Refunds: You may request a refund for Steam Wallet funds within fourteen days of purchase if they were purchased on Steam and if you have not used any of those funds.
- Refunds on Bundles: You can receive a full refund for any bundle purchased on the Steam Store, so long as none of the items in the bundle have been transferred, and if the combined usage time for all items in the bundle is less than two hours. If a bundle includes an in-game item or DLC that is not refundable, Steam will tell you if the whole bundle is refundable during check-out.
- Purchases Made Outside of Steam: Valve cannot provide refunds for purchases made outside of Steam (for example, CD keys or Steam wallet cards purchased from third parties).
- VAC Bans: If you have been banned by VAC (the Valve Anti-Cheat system) on a game, you lose the right to refund that game.
- Movies: We are unable to offer refunds for movies on Steam.
- Refunds on Gifts: We are unable to offer refunds for gifts after they have been redeemed by the recipient.
With all that in mind, Valve are pretty strict when it comes to people aiming to abuse the system. "Refunds are designed to remove the risk from purchasing titles on Steam—not as a way to get free games." said Valve. "If it appears to us that you are abusing refunds, we may stop offering them to you."
But this won't apply if you happen to purchase a game right before a sale starts. "We do not consider it abuse to request a refund on a title that was purchased just before a sale and then immediately rebuying that title for the sale price."

Blueberry Goat Cheese Sourdough Bread
- 285g water (slightly warmer than room temp)
- 175g Sourdough Starter
- 10g Salt
- 2g Lemon Peel (optional)
- 1/8 t Cardamom (optional)
- 425g All-Purpose Flour
- 120g Blueberry Goat Cheese, roughly chopped (about half a log)
- 65g Blueberry Jam (optional)
- 40g Honey (optional)
- Mix together ingredients through Flour and let rest for 30 minutes. If you put them in your mixing bowl in this order, they'll integrate well and easily.
- Knead for 1-2 minutes.
- Add Remaining ingredients and need for 5-7 minutes. This makes a fairly sweet loaf, you can reduce the jam and honey to your own taste. Note: If you can't find the log of blueberry goat cheese, you can use plain goat cheese and slightly increase the jam and honey, add dried blueberries if you like.
- Cover and allow to rise in the fridge for 36-48 hours; because of the cheese, you need to rise it in the fridge, but this slows the rise significantly. Please do not rush this, I promise it's worth the wait.
- Remove from fridge and pour directly into greased 9x4 loaf pan. Rise for 2-3 hours.
- Toward the end of your rise, preheat your oven to 475* and bake covered for 25 minutes.
- Reduce heat to 425 and cook for 15-25 minutes, until your loaf is fully cooked and sounds set when you thump the top.
- Allow to cool 5 minutes in the loaf pan then place on cooling rack to fully cool before slicing. My favorite way to eat this is toasted with peanut butter, but it's excellent on its own, with butter, or as a sweet sandwich.
Everything you need to make this gorgeous bread!
Mix it gently to incorporate all ingredients.
Use your favorite loaf pan for the bake. Isn't this one perfect for spring?
The finished loaf will leave you wanting to gobble this up!
Who would you love to make this delicious bread for?

A hurricane is a Tropical cyclone that occurs when an area of intense low pressure develops over warm ocean waters in tropical regions in summer and early autumn. It is a revolving storm originating at latitudes between 5° and 20° north or south of the Equator, usually when the surface temperature of the ocean is above 26°C/79°F. A central calm area, called the eye, is surrounded by inwardly spiralling winds (anticlockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere) of up to 320 kph/200 mph. A hurricane is accompanied by lightning and torrential rain, and can cause extensive damage. In meteorology, a hurricane is a wind of force 12 or more on the Beaufort scale. A tropical cyclone that occurs in the western part of the North Pacific is called a typhoon.
Hurricanes are categorized by the maximum sustained wind speed that they produce. Category 1 storms have a wind speed range of 119–53 kph/74–95 mph. The highest category storms, category 5, have sustained wind speeds in excess of 249 kph/155 mph.
The naming of hurricanes began in the 1940s with female names. Owing to public opinion that this was sexist, the practice was changed in 1978 to using male and female names alternately.
Hurricane Katrina is the costliest natural disaster in the history of the USA. It formed over the Bahamas in August 2005 and strengthened to a category 5 storm with maximum sustained wind speeds of 280 kph/175 mph, causing severe damage along the Gulf coast of the USA. Although weakened to a category 3 storm when it moved inland, Katrina's winds were strong enough to cause the levees in New Orleans to fail, resulting in the flooding of 80% of the city and surrounding districts. An estimated 1,836 people died as a result of the storm and there was over $81 billion of property damage.

While other districts were made to stay home and missed out on quintessential high school experiences, our district was able to give us the chance of having a semi-normal year. We are lucky.
For starters, we were allowed to choose to come into school. We were the only district in our area to come back full time from the start of the year.
This was an amazing opportunity and, while rocky to start, we were able to make it through the year safely. With the inclusion of social distancing and quarantining when necessary, administration was able to keep our district in person as safe as possible.
Additionally, we were able to continue all of our school sports and after school activities. Student athletes and band members were able to have senior nights and experience the activities they've loved since freshman year.
While we weren't able to have many audience members and fans come out to cheer for their favorite teams, we were able to have our parents and family members attend, which are the fans that truly make these moments memorable.
On top of sports and physical activities, the arts were able to stay alive during these trying times. The traditional music groups were able to perform in a combination of both indoor and outdoor concerts, while the rock band was able to perform during a few lunches and at the Souderton park.
We were also able to host multiple art shows, both in person and virtual. Art and Soul Fest was able to continue virtually, while the art department was able to host its annual senior showcase in person.
While performing groups, such as the indoor color guard and drumline, could not attend competitions, they were still able to hold practices and final performances for friends and family. Thanks to this, students in these groups were able to enjoy the activities they love and have some sort of a season.
Additionally, the theatre department was able to put on the fall play outdoors and have the spring musical indoors. The casts and crews for both productions did a phenomenal job putting together high quality shows despite the difficulties brought on with COVID.
And while we did miss having school dances this year, the seniors were able to have the prom that they had been looking forward to since freshman year. With an outdoor dance floor and additional safety precautions, the class of 2021 was able to have the night of their lives.
Through all of this, the ups and downs and every opportunity, The Arrowhead had the chance to cover it all. While we weren't able to print our newspaper this year, we successfully produced six online issues for the student body.
This year was not ideal by any means and there were certainly moments that became discouraging. Despite this, we made it through this year and came out as a closer-knit Souderton family.
Thank you for the memories, Souderton.

Donal Drayne,
Active in the Diocese of Tucson,
Parishioner at St. Odilia
Named Tucson Man of the Year
Donal gives his time, treasure and talents to the Catholic Foundation and the Diocese of Tucson as well as to so many other organizations in town such as the Salvation Army, Tucson Heart Association and Tucson Medical Centers.
Donal said, "I got the news early November at a "surprise" breakfast meeting at Prep & Pastry. Believe me I was shocked at receiving this great honor. In my job at Westin La Paloma, I handled the event for around 16 years with the Tucson Metro Chamber. I thought, what a great honor to be the Man of the Year but no way could I ever get it as I presumed you had to be a Tucson "mover & shaker" or a CEO or President of a company.
I very much enjoy being involved in this great community we call Tucson and can honestly say that one person can make a difference. Two words.....get involved. It is special to be so involved with the Catholic Foundation for the Diocese of Tucson. It is a very special organization with many meanings on many levels. Besides helping our "fellow man" it also allows us to get closer to our religion."
The Tucson Man and Women of the Year Celebration takes place virtually February 19th at 6 p.m. You can watch by going to www.greatertucsonleadership.org.

Cats Are Actually Sweethearts.
There's a running gag among cat lovers and cat haters (if such a thing could exist), that their feline friends are actually not that friendly, and go out of their way to make sure that their partners know just how awful a pet they are. This can be true, as cats can come across as stand-offish, but there's a reason for it. It's because they're most often and most frequently compared to dogs.
The reason why this is the case, is because dogs were bred to be good human companions. They were chosen specifically to continue genes that would foster loyalty, love, and affection. Cats, on the other hand, did not get domesticated or bred into subservience, they chose to be with humans, and gradually became more and more friendly. It was natural and mutual. That's why cats seem standoffish. They treat you as an equal rather than a superior.
Source: Reddit
#1 Napping
New York Times talks about why and how cats show affection, and it's one of the most interesting reads in recent years.
In the perennial battle over dogs and cats, there's a clear public relations winner. Dogs are man's best friend. They're sociable, faithful and obedient. Our relationship with cats, on the other hand, is often described as more transactional. Aloof, mysterious and independent, cats are with us only because we feed them. Or maybe not. On Monday, researchers reported that cats are just as strongly bonded to us as dogs or infants, vindicating cat lovers across the land.

#3 Black cats
"I get that a lot — 'Well, I knew that, I know that cats like to interact with me,'" said Kristyn Vitale, an animal behavior scientist at Oregon State University and lead author of the new study, published in Current Biology. "But in science, you don't know that until you test it." Research into cat behavior has lagged that into dogs. Cats are not social animals, many scientists assumed — and not as easy to work with. But recent studies have begun to plumb the depth of cats' social lives.
#4 Zoom calls
#5 Love stare
#6 Heterochromia
"This idea that cats don't really care about people or respond to them isn't holding up," Dr. Vitale said. In a study in 2017, Dr. Vitale and her colleagues found that the majority of cats prefer interacting with a person over eating or playing with a toy. In a 2019 study, the researchers found that cats adjust their behavior according to how much attention a person gives them. Other researchers have found that cats are sensitive to human emotion and mood, and that cats know their names.
#7 Hugs
#8 More hugs
#9 The best hugs
#10 Snuggle buddies
#11 Hand holding
Scientists had arrived at conflicting findings about whether cats form attachments to their owners, however, so Dr. Vitale and her colleagues designed a study to more explicitly test the hypothesis. They recruited owners of 79 kittens and 38 adult cats to participate in a "secure base test," an experiment commonly used to measure bonds that dogs and primates form with caretakers. A similar test is also used for human infants. It is based on the theory that infants form an innate bond with caretakers that manifests as a strong desire to be near that person.

The majority of the content encompased on this tour is from Eugene, an outpost of civilization in one of the most wild bio-regions in "north america." Eugene experienced the spirit of wild chaos during a couple years of insurrection. In the aftermath, several comrades were imprisoned, several collectives endured, and what remains today is one of the most sophisticated propaganda mills in history. The Green Anarchy Tour is an attempt to take the tools we have refined, the tools of resistance, to a new scale. Tonight, ATA will screen a selection of documentaries from The Green Anarchy Tour.
