Seven great options in Spokane
Don't sleep on pizza. Sure, it's now easier than ever to order in a fancy dinner, or a burger and fries, or some pad thai. But there's still something about opening that box and ripping off a slice of your favorite pizza. Sometimes, you gotta stick to the classics.
In Spokane, there's enough variety that you never have to go a day feeling like you've had the same pizza twice. Change it up. Heck, go one week eating a different pizza every night, if you have the stomach for it. Here's a list to get you started.
Flying Goat
At the Flying Goat, no pizza tastes like another. Each has a unique flavor with a delicate balance of quality ingredients that melt in your mouth. If you're not sure what to order, try the Fairview: heavy cream, house cheese blend, house back bacon, pears, gorgonzola cheese crumbles, and white balsamic reduction. Because of the thin crust, it's not too filling, so it's easy to scarf down the entire thing before you realize just how great it is. 3318 W. Northwest Blvd., theflyinggoat.com, 327-8277
Park Inn
It's all about the cheese at the Park Inn. And why shouldn't it be? Cheese is the most important ingredient, after all. Here, the cheese molds together on top of the tasty sauce, a dense layer of chewy goodness that will leave you satisfied. It's a great place not only for pizza, but to knock out a pitcher or two of beer with some friends. 103 W. Ninth Ave., parkinnspokane.com, 624-8111
Pizza Pipeline
Pizza Pipeline doesn't mess around. With six locations across the Inland Northwest, including in Spokane, local chain Pizza Pipeline is often the go-to for a traditional pizza delivery. Whether it's a simple cheese pizza or something more adventurous, each slice makes you feel like this is the way pizza should taste. 1403 N. Division St., 10411 N. Newport Hwy., 2718 E. 57th Ave., 1724 W. Wellesley Ave., 415 N. Sullivan Rd., Spokane Valley, 8901 E. Trent Ave., Spokane Valley; pizzapipeline.com
Dinardi's Pizza & Pasta
Dinardi's, near Gonzaga, knows its way around Italian food — the family that owns it hails from Italy. So it's no surprise they've mastered pizza, too. The New York-style pizza is flavorful, hearty and fresh all at once. The sauce, the crust, the seasoning, all of it combines elegantly for a slice of pizza that you know was carefully crafted. If you haven't tried it yet, you're missing out. 829 E. Boone Ave., dinardispizzapasta.com, 960-7949
Veraci Pizza
Located in Kendall Yards, Veraci may have some of the best wood-fired pizza in town. Whether you want a chicken pesto pizza or a pepperoni, Veraci lets the ingredients shine. All it takes is one slice and you'll be hooked. It gets bonus points for one of the best patios in town, with a view of the river and the city. 1333 W. Summit Pkwy., veracispokane.com, 389-0029
The Elvis (spicy Thai peanut sauce, seasoned chicken, peppers) and the Da Vinci (feta, basil pesto, tomatoes, garlic) are just a small slice of the many handcrafted pizzas that David's dishes up for hungry customers. As a founding member of the Spokane Hospitality Coalition, David's has pledged to uphold rigorous standards for workplace sanitization and public safety. 803 W Mallon Ave. 509-483-7460. davidspizza.com
Bennidito's is a neighborhood institution on the lower South Hill, and it now has a brewpub on Sprague Avenue. In this welcoming, friendly environment, the hefty pizzas fit in perfectly. When you're finished, you feel like you've just had a hearty meal with people you want to be around, and what more could you ask for? 1426 S. Lincoln St., 1909 E. Sprague Ave., benniditos.com

In a world with thousands of different companies and strategies out there to be the best it can be hard to know where to start. There are a few common practices all successful businesses follow, and one of those is mastering organization.
Finding a Program that Works for You
Technology plays such an important role in the workplace, it only seems logical to begin here and find the organizational system that works for you. Choosing the right structure to house your data and information is crucial because you'll be working with it every day in your business, and depending on that system it can really hurt or help you. There are thousands of management and organization systems out there and according to PC Magazine some of the most popular Project Management systems used today are Zoho Projects, Liquid Planner, TeamWork, and Wrike to name a few.
At Thirteen05 we utilize the program TeamWork to help us stay on top of all of our current projects. By using TeamWork as a centralized communication center for a production team, it allows the Project Manager to create projects and assign individual tasks to any team member. When a business is juggling multiple projects, clients, and various ventures it's extremely beneficial to have this information easily accessible and organized to all relevant parties within a company.
The work doesn't stop there; Once you've found the right program to help organize your company, there are many other useful tools to take your business to the next level. Equipping employees with the proper tools to organize their work also contributes to a business's success. Just as there are many organizational systems available, there are twice as many resources for an employee to personally organize themselves. We've come a long way from pen and paper and finding the right technology can take time, but it's time you'll save in the long run.
As a Project Manager at Thirteen05, I find the most efficient way to personally stay organized is using an iPad and the numerous apps available. A few of the applications I use to ensure a project is moving on time is OneNote, Trello, and Google Docs. There are thousands of applications out there and supplying employees with the adequate time and tools makes a measurable difference.
With many different aspects, all moving at once in a business it's easy to overlook current methods and set aside simple concepts of organization. But by analyzing your company's methods of organization and equipping your employees with the right resources you can be sure you're taking a step in the direction of success.

Hi Everyone! I know it's that time of year again. Beginning bands are starting all over the place, and kids need instruments. At The Bluegrass Shack, we don't rent instruments because we feel it's not in the customer's best interest. Especially if your kid ends up dropping out of band. You paid all that money, and now you don't have anything to show for it. Wouldn't you at least like to sell your instrument to recoup a little of what you spent??? If you own it, you can! And if you purchased a used band instrument from The Bluegrass Shack, you will have paid a fraction of the cost, you will have a guaranteed instrument, and on-site repair!
I have made up a listing of our current band instruments for sale. There are a few new, but mostly used instruments in this listing. Please note, we also have a couple of snare drums, both new and used for sale, starting at $50.00. These are not on the list.
If you would like to mail order, please give us a call or e-mail us so we can check on availability of the instrument you are interested in.
To enlarge the pages of the listing, just click. Then you can actually read it and print it, if desired.

You may recall last week's soft-core, then orange-coloured 1984 D635 parked at the Malahide, Co Dublin, beach terminus.
Well, the bus went on to have several lives as a 'mature' double decker.
Before radio's Simon Maher (above) and Steve Conway fell for the x-rated charms of the retro bone rattler.
Simon sez:

A few days ago, I showed you how my children recycled old Hellman's Mayonnaise containers and used them to plant herbs. Today, I'm showing you another little project that we have going in the Sweeney house — our square foot garden!!
Each year, we plant vegetables like carrots, onions, and beets and watch them grow together. The best part? Picking them with the kids!!
It's time to start weeding! I know – I know! That's another fun job. Now that the kids are FINALLY out of school… they have a new job to do. LOL. It's something to do together and a great lesson for all. Everyone should have a little garden in their backyard. It helps with the grocery bills and lighten our carbon footprint at the same time. A win-win if you ask me.
Have you heard about Unilever's Project Sunlight ? It is amazing. The initiative teaches everyone really small and easy ways to make a big difference. Learn how to live more sustainably without making much effort at all. Start here with their Summer Sunlight Activities.

Has the COVID-19 pandemic left you feeling out of sorts in a way you can't quite describe? You're not alone. Beyond the physical toll it takes on those who experience symptoms, an emotional heaviness has seeped into most of us.
How is our emotional health being affected by the pandemic? Here are some questions you may have as you work to understand your feelings, along with strategies to lighten the emotional load.
What Are People Feeling Now?
It's difficult to give it one name. Anxiety, definitely. Fear, dread and grief are mixed in too. We're also experiencing ambiguous grief. It's not a clear loss, like that experienced by people who have lost a loved one, but it's the feeling we've lost so much in terms of normalcy and safety. Before the pandemic, people felt safe going about their daily business, doing things like going to the grocery store. That feeling of safety is gone.
This ambiguous grief has hit us all collectively. Adverse events usually don't affect so many people at the same time. There is comfort in knowing we can all commiserate, but conversely, it means our normal sources of support may be struggling because they're experiencing it too.
In the past, we have dealt with national tragedies, but those were often one-time events. It's unique to be living through an extended crisis with an uncertain end date.
Are Different Types of Personalities Experiencing It Differently?
Some people feel energized by having a sense of mission, something they can contribute to. Others feel paralyzed by fear and uncertainty. And then there is everything in between.
At this point, we can't say definitively that certain types of personalities respond in a specific way. It partially depends on your role in the family, your job, how you process information and where you're getting information. Many factors influence a person's emotional response.
Does COVID-19 Create a More Difficult Situation Because It Is an Invisible Threat?
An invisible virus spread by people who are and aren't showing symptoms is likely to induce anxiety. Research has shown that things that are unknowable, uncertain and out of our control increase anxiety levels. Because the situation continues to unfold and we don't have all the answers, it is a classic anxiety-producing situation.
What Can We Do To Feel Better? Is It Even Possible To Feel More in Control?
The answers to this may seem like they're not enough. There is nothing that will take away the anxiety completely. We have to manage it. To do that, it's important to differentiate between what we can and can't control.
During the pandemic, as in much of life, some things are out of our control — like when toilet paper is back in stock and what our neighbors are doing. We need to remind ourselves that there are things we can control. We can wash our hands, plan how to get groceries safely, schedule a video chat with a friend, etc.
We can also remember to be grateful. Research shows that gratitude significantly impacts our mental health. Keeping a list of the things you're grateful for will help you focus on the positive.
Even though this situation is unprecedented, we've all been through stressful times before and have developed ways of coping. Think of what strategies have been successful for you in the past. For example, start by keeping a routine. Don't absorb too much information. Stay connected to your loved ones and attend to those relationships. Explore ways to stay calm like breathing, prayer, exercise, stretching and music.
Pay attention to how you're talking to yourself. If you're thinking that things will never be the same again, realize that even though things may change, you can adapt to the changing circumstances. Recognize that feeling bad doesn't usually last forever. People are resilient.
How Might We Grow from This Experience?
Begin by giving yourself some grace. Don't expect perfection and that you will handle every challenge in an ideal way. We're not in an ideal world now, so try to adjust your standards.
Use this as a time to reconnect with things that are most important to you. Nurture relationships with family, and find learning opportunities.
While fear is a natural reaction, gently challenge yourself to move beyond it. Learn how to identify your emotions and let go of things outside your control. From there, you can grow by finding a purpose, helping others, being grateful and keeping yourself emotionally happy.
Ask yourself how you can contribute during this time. While you may not be on the front line treating patients in a hospital's ICU, you can practice social distancing. That contributes. It's helpful to shift from being fearful to doing what you can to improve the situation.
What Can We Expect Emotionally After the Pandemic Is Over?
This will vary based on each person's situation. The emotional aftereffects could include gratitude and a new appreciation for things we took for granted and relief that normalcy has been restored. People may experience feelings of "moral injury" if they had to make difficult choices about how to help people, grief from losses and loss of innocence, and lingering fear that it could happen again. There could also be delayed emotional reactions for those who were too busy in the middle of the pandemic to acknowledge their emotions at the time.
As you move forward, it's important to realize that after any kind of trauma, loss or stressful situation, the reality is that most people are resilient. The majority go back to being themselves and feeling like themselves.
Keep a long-term perspective, strive to be optimistic and trust that things will get better.
Quite right! I think, what is it good thought. And it has a right to a life.
Thank you Sadie. Good article with lots of ways to cope. And to think I used to pick wild "Sadie" Raspberries with you. We even did a Muskie Day run together. So proud of you!

Eclipse has too many interesting features to really do them justice here, but we'll mention a few to show you why people love this IDE.
Of course, you've noticed all the color coding and meta-information present when viewing Java source code in Eclipse. You can customize all of this behavior to suit your taste through the Eclipse → Preferences → Java → Editor → Syntax Coloring panel. Many other options can be set through the Eclipse → Preferences → Java → Code Style and Editor panes.
What may not be immediately obvious is that editing is
also enhanced. When typing, try pressing Ctrl-Space to attempt
autocompletion or have Eclipse present you with relevant options. For
example, instead of typing JButton
try typing JBu
plus Ctrl-Space.
Eclipse completes the name for you. If the portion of the name you type
is ambiguous, a drop-down list appears, similar to that shown in Figure A-5.
Eclipse also provides abbreviations for common items. Try typing
and pressing Crtl-Space.
Eclipse expands this to System.out.println()
and places the cursor in
the parentheses automatically. If you type a quotation mark, Eclipse
closes the quotation for you. Note the green bar that it places after
the closing quote. Pressing Tab takes you to that point so that you
don't have to use the arrow keys. Pressing Tab again takes you to the
next green bar spot, which is the end of the line.
Eclipse can offer fixes for simple problems in your code when it detects them. To see suggested fixes, click on the red X next to a problem line. Eclipse presents a drop-down menu of possible fixes for the problem. Selecting an option shows you the code changes that Eclipse will make before you choose it.
For example, try changing the name of one of the JButton
s in our Calculator to JBButton
. Now, click the red X and a screen
similar to Figure A-6 appears. Eclipse
offers several possible corrections; the best one is to fix the
misspelling and change it back to JButton
. Of course, if we'd really meant to
refer to a new kind of button, we could choose the option to create the
new class right there and Eclipse would help us do that by creating a
skeleton for us.
Eclipse offers a number of tools under the collective title refactoring. These include the ability to rename and move members, automatically tracking down references to them and changing them throughout the project. More advanced options allow you to do things like create an interface for your class by copying all of its public methods or add a factory pattern to your code to encapsulate all object creation for a type. You can even encapsulate access to a variable, changing the code to use an accessor method instead. These tools can save you a lot of typing (or retyping, as the case may be).
As an example, let's look at our Calculator again. Click on the
method in the outline or
select the method definition yourself. We use this method a lot, so
let's give it a better name. Select Refactor → Rename and change the name to addToGridBag
. If you want to see what it's
going to do in advance, press the preview button to get a diff view of
the code. By selecting OK, Eclipse changes the name and all references
to the method in your project (in this case that would include all of
the source directories for all chapters). You can also refactor methods
in order to change the method signature and add or remove
Eclipse provides the ability to quickly diff two files. Select two files simultaneously in the Package Explorer. Right-click one of the files to display a context menu and select Compare With → Each Other. Eclipse opens a dual-source view editor pane that shows the differences between the files graphically. You can even resolve conflicts by copying differences from one file to the other with the arrows at the top of the pane. For example, open ch15/webapp-xml/all-web.xml and ch15/webapp-xml/filters-web.xml and view the differences. You can also review changes made to a file using the Compare With → Local History option that lets you compare the current state of the file with previous saves in the project. These are very useful tools.
Eclipse can tidy up the import
statements in your source code.
Selecting Source → Organize Imports
causes Eclipse to turn package imports into single class imports.
Eclipse automatically determines exactly which classes from each package
are used and breaks the package imports into individual imports. This
makes the code a little more explicit, but some people prefer package
imports when too many classes are used.

Dr. Carol Otis of UCLA is one of the world's leading authorities on the health of female athletes, and here she explores the pressures on them to conform to particular body types while excelling in their sports.
Otis questions the practice of pushing athletes to meet unrealistic standards for shape, weight, training and performance, which can eventually backfire and lead to illness. The illness typically occurs in the form of the "female athlete triad," a syndrome consisting of disordered eating, menstrual cycle disruptions and osteoporosis. According to Otis, all or parts of the triad occur in many active women and are a particular threat to female athletes.
The book explains the triad and how to avoid it but, perhaps more important, also urges women to adopt a definition of fitness that encourages whole-body health - and a positive body image based on an individual's physical characteristics.
As American women continue to gain fame in sports - as was seen during the Summer Games in Sydney - It's more important than ever to make sure those achievements are based on the tenets of good, comprehensive, long-term health.
The Athletic Woman's Survival Guide was written by a husband and wife team closely involved in college health and sports. Carol Otis is a physician at UCLA Student health Services who is known word-wide as a leading authority on the topic. She has worked with athletes in numerous sports, marathons, and Olympic trials and serves as the chief medical advisor for women's professional tennis. Goldingay, a former professional soccer player, write regularly for sports and fitness magazines.
At particular risk for the triad, say the authors of this book, are athletes in activities that emphasize a lean appearance, who have weight categories and mandatory weigh-ins, or who wear skimpy outfits.
The authors relate many examples of well-nourished female athletes who are "too fit to quit" and, in contrast, others who others who restrict their eating, diet, and are "too thin to win."
Disordered, restrictive eating and nutrient deficiencies are at the heart of the problem. Women athletes often follow food fads or avoid whole classes of food in an effort to eat fat free: "Dairy products and meat are often completely eliminated because they are regarded as 'fattening.' And yet these are the food groups that contain iron and calcium, the most important minerals and vitamins essential to the health of growing women."
One result is "old bones in young women." Loss of bone mass leads to porous bones that are subject to stress and crush fractures during strenuous training and athletic events. The Survival Guide stresses the need to fight any condition that attacks the integrity of our bones. The "silent disease" of osteoporosis is preventable.
Amenorrhea may be the first symptom an athlete is training too much and not giving herself the fuel needed to balance her energy output. This too is linked to weak bones and osteoporosis. Overtraining is defined as a state in which the body has done too much work and has not balanced that activity or workload with adequate sleep, rest or nutrition to recover. Other signs of overtraining are a decrease in performance, fatigue, mood disturbances and frequent infections.
This book engages the female athlete in a practical and compassionate way. It provides effective strategies and guidelines for overcoming the triad. Throughout, success stories are given of women who have conquered the triad, inspiring the reader to believe she can do it and be a successful athlete, too.
The authors discuss how to help a friend. Consistent, caring communication, assuring the friend of privacy and confidentiality, using "I" statements, speaking honestly of your concerns, and listening in a nonjudgemental manner are recommended. Yet one can expect denial, shame, embarrassment, and fear.
This valuable and timely book cries out to be read by all female athletes and their coaches, trainers, and parents. It is highly recommended.

What is one thing that bothers famous athletes the most? It has to be when analysts make a prediction that said athlete believes is negative, and feels like there's no way the analysis should've been that way. So when a famous analyst makes a bold claim, select athletes can't wait to get on the field and prove them wrong. And if you're Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen, you can't wait to not only prove them wrong, but can't wait to get on Twitter to talk some more smack after the game.
The Chargers traveled to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers this week. With both teams in the AFC playoff picture, it was a highly anticipated matchup for Sunday Night Football. The Steelers were coming off of a tough loss, and the Chargers were coming in hot despite being looked at as underdogs. For some reason, nobody had the Chargers winning against Pittsburgh. And nobody believed that Keenan Allen would continue to eat against the Steelers defense.
Long story short – Allen got the best of the Steelers defense and went off. Maybe a little extra dose of motivation on social media gave him an incentive to do so? Who knows. But here's the story. Fantasy football expert, Adam Rank told his followers and viewers to beware of utilizing Keenan Allen this week. According to Rank, Allen wouldn't see more than three fantasy points for the week. In Allen's eyes, the challenge was accepted. And Adam Rank was entirely off.
Allen Had a Night
The Pittsburgh Steelers looked like they were going to take of business at home against the Chargers, but a second-half comeback for Los Angeles made sure that Pittsburgh never slept on them ever again just in case they meet each other in the postseason. And if these two teams possibly meet in the future, then the Steelers defense should probably lock up Allen.
Chargers quarterback Phillip Rivers looked for the veteran wideout all night long. He targeted Keenan Allen 19 times. Allen caught 14 passes for 148 yards and a touchdown. As you can tell by the stats, Allen had well over three fantasy points for the week.
So with that, Allen wasted no time hopping onto Twitter and quote tweeting the NFL Fantasy Football account with Rank's claim. Although Rank was way off, he was still a good sport about it as he sarcastically commented that he 'nailed' his prediction this week.

EDUC 747 is 30-point service-learning course nested into Campus Connections Aotearoa youth mentoring programme and available in the second semester. Service-learning courses integrate community service with instruction and reflection to enhance the learning experience. In the case of EDUC 747, the community service involves youth development, leadership, and practice, through CC-A. The course, including lectures, mentoring sessions and debrief, takes place every Thursday throughout the second semester. The start time will alternate between 8.00 am on lecture weeks (which occur fortnightly) and 8.30 am every other week. The day will finish at the same time of 3.00 pm every week. Students enrolled in EDUC 747 will develop a range of skills including therapeutic communication and relationship building with youth participants. Across the semester dates, students will also engage in leadership tasks such as pro-social activity design and facilitation and/or coaching or counselling roles, as part of their hands-on learning experience.
About the Course
The course runs for a full day each Thursday of the second semester (see session dates below), 4 of these hours are spent in mentoring and leadership activities with the youth and students involved. This dedicated time is designed to enhance the impact of the experience for both youth and students.
Because the face-to-face hours for this course are much higher than for other electives, the number of course readings and the written component of the on-course assessments is reduced. A substantial focus is on practice-based learning and some assessments are completed during class time. Places in EDUC 747 are open to postgraduate students at the University of Auckland who are able to take a 700-level elective course
Important Things to Consider
Full Commitment is Crucial
Given that you will be working with vulnerable young people, your commitment is critical. We expect full attendance at training, lectures, weekly programme sessions, post-session debriefs and the programme graduation
Pre-Programme Training
The programme includes 16 hours of pre-training which you must attend (lunch is provided both days):
9am-5pm Thursday July 21 & 28 2022
Session Dates
Sessions run on Thursdays from Aug 4 – Oct 20, excluding Thursdays during the university mid-semester break (Sep 1 & 8) but do not run during the school holidays (Oct 6 & 13)
Leadership Expectations
EDUC 747 students will be required to demonstrate leadership within their assigned role, which may involve the development and facilitation of youth activities and coaching mentors.

Since Mia Berrin's New York-based indie-rock band Pom Pom Squad was inducted into Spotify's Fresh Finds artist development program last October, the singer-songwriter has hit career milestones she never thought she'd enjoy so early in her career. Those have included a recording session at the legendary Electric Lady Studios, placements on some of music's most sought-after playlists and a billboard in Times Square, to name a few — all sponsored by the streaming service.
"I sort of viewed all those things…as further down the line in your career things," says Berrin. "To have those experiences so soon because of this specific thing … it definitely felt like a boost."
Since launching in May 2021, the Fresh Finds program – an extension of the playlist hub of the same name – has provided developing artists with a raft of opportunities. In addition to recording an exclusive original song at Electric Lady Studios under the Spotify Singles banner (with a producer of their choice) and being featured on a Times Square billboard promoting the artists and the program, acts receive credits for Spotify for Artists' paid on-platform promotional resources like Marquee and are offered other forms of marketing support both on- and off-platform. They and their managers also enjoy "masterclasses" with Spotify executives, during which they receive tips on how best to navigate their careers within the Spotify ecosystem; these executives remain available to provide additional guidance in the weeks and months that follow.
"Getting to actually be in the room with people from Spotify made it feel a lot less intimidating," says Berrin, "because I think the music industry sort of becomes this big, scary, amorphous blob in in a lot of musicians' heads."
Importantly, the Fresh Finds program guarantees participating artists a spot on the titular playlist, which has nearly 900,000 followers and helps serve as a launching pad for independent artists on the platform and beyond, as well as the genre-specific Fresh Finds playlists, the Spotify Singles playlist and other relevant playlists across Spotify. While artists and labels typically pitch upcoming, unreleased songs to Spotify's playlist editors using the faceless Spotify for Artists portal, this access provides the relationships to bypass this system and overcome a major hurdle to achieving visibility on the platform.
Spotify built its success as a platform for music discovery, long touting its support of emerging and independent artists, in efforts to set itself apart from its competitors and foster goodwill with the creator community. In 2015, the company launched Found Them First, a microsite that gave users bragging rights by allowing them to see which future stars they regularly listened to on the platform prior to their ascent; users who participated were also serviced personalized playlists of current emerging acts to further boost discovery. This was followed by the Fresh Finds playlists in 2016, and, more controversially, Discovery Mode in 2020, which allows artists and labels to receive higher priority in Spotify's personalization algorithms in exchange for a lower royalty rate (that program has been the subject of scrutiny by members of Congress and has received a mixed response from the music community).
Spotify isn't the only streaming service angling to boost up-and-coming artists, which in turn establishes the platform's relevance, builds early relationships with the acts and drives their fans to the service. In 2017, Apple Music launched its own artist spotlight program, Up Next, which elevates an emerging act each month by providing editorial and promotional opportunities and has since gone global. In 2018, SoundCloud introduced First on SoundCloud to showcase emerging artists on the platform; since last year, SoundCloud has also been making direct investments in each artist by producing "career-making firsts" including "dream collab" projects, merch drops and cover art, among other perks. Absent concrete stats, how much these programs actually help developing artists' careers has never been entirely clear. But according to data provided by Spotify, the Fresh Finds program has been proven to boost streaming and, anecdotally, grow longer-term career opportunities.
Looking at Spotify's last Fresh Finds class of artists, which included Pom Pom Squad, indie-pop duo TOLEDO, alt-pop singer-songwriter Araya and Doss — who declined to participate in this story — the acts all received double or triple-digit streaming gains after the program launched. Between Sept. 12 (one month before they joined Fresh Finds) and the week of Nov. 14, Araya's monthly listeners grew 227% to more than 201,000, Pom Pom Squad's grew 189% to more than 287,000 and TOLEDO's grew 24% to over 503,000.
Growth in first-time listeners was even more pronounced for all three artists. Between Sept. 12 and the week of Nov. 14, total growth on this metric was 718% for Pom Pom Squad, 385% for Araya and 76% for TOLEDO.
All three also saw healthy growth in editorial streams – i.e. non-personalized editorial playlists like New Music Friday, Today's Top Hits and, most pertinently in this case, Fresh Finds. On this metric, Pom Pom Squad saw a total increase of 386%, Araya saw a 270% gain and TOLEDO grew 19% over the same time period.
Over the length of the program, streams peaked most dramatically in the week following the announcement of the new Fresh Finds class on Oct. 12 – a week that included the unveiling of the Times Square billboard, which ran from Oct. 12-14 and Oct. 16-18 – as well as the two weeks following the release of the Spotify Singles, which dropped on the platform Nov. 11 and were amplified with on-platform promotion as well as paid social/digital marketing through Nov. 19.
"On the marketing side, this is our main way that we are helping independent artists grow their careers in the long term," says Spotify senior music marketing manager Rachel Ring. She adds that artists are chosen using "a combination of data and editorial decision making with our curation team," who select artists who are "showing momentum on and off Spotify."
Fresh Finds may be designed to boost artists in the long term, but Spotify wouldn't provide streaming data for any of these acts past the duration of the campaign. That makes it difficult to ascertain how enduring the impact of the program is on-platform beyond publicly available streaming data on the Spotify app. For what it's worth, all three artists' streaming activity is significantly down from where it was in mid-November. Seven months later, Araya's monthly listenership sits at 66,506; Pom Pom Squad's is 175,779; and TOLEDO's is at 419,230. On the brighter side, Pom Pom Squad's monthly listenership is still up 72% from where it was the week before the Fresh Finds campaign launched, while TOLEDO's is up a smaller 5%. Araya's, meanwhile, is down 13% from the week before the program's launch.
Regardless of where their Spotify streaming numbers stand now, Fresh Finds at the very least provides a window of opportunity for artists and their teams to capitalize on the not-insignificant marketing support Spotify provides during that time. This opportunity can perhaps best be seen in the impressive jumps in first-time listener numbers for all three artists, which indicate Fresh Finds' ability to provide wider exposure to a potential new crop of fans.
There is of course more to a music career than just streaming. While it can be difficult to draw a direct line between Fresh Finds and off-platform successes, participating artists have seen growth in other areas following their induction into the program. Pom Pom Squad, which is signed to Berlin-based indie label City Slang, enjoyed an increase in college gigs as the band's profile has grown, "and a good portion of the profile growth is due to Fresh Finds," says the band's manager, MidCitizen Entertainment owner Reid Martin.
TOLEDO — who recently signed a label deal with Grand Jury Music — has also enjoyed a touring bump since joining Fresh Finds, with the duo embarking on its first-ever tours this year supporting Shout Out Louds in May and Wilderado in July. Nicole White at Brilliant Corners Artist Management says Spotify's "significant" marketing efforts around TOLEDO's Spotify Single "Beach Coma" are to thank for that. "[That] helped with exposure and has contributed to opportunities that have come about since, especially with touring," she says.
White also notes that TOLEDO's Instagram following has grown "about 10%" since Spotify announced their participation in Fresh Finds in mid-October. "[That] feels significant, especially since we haven't released any new material since 'Beach Coma,'" she says, adding that the band's Instagram follower growth has also increased "at a slightly faster rate" in the last six months compared to the period before they joined Fresh Finds, from an average of 2.9 followers per day prior to 3.4 followers per day afterward.
"A lot of people won't bite on something unless they see the social proof that other people are publicly backing it," says Toby Bird, who manages Araya. For the Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter, that's resulted in more touring offers, press requests and greater interest from labels and publishers. Even if Fresh Finds wasn't specifically mentioned, Bird says, "I do really think that that was instrumental to getting some of those larger looks."
While the Fresh Finds program is just a year old, Ring notes that it's merely the streaming service's latest iteration of longstanding support for independent artists. "We've kind of always been doing this work," she says, "but now we just want to be more vocal about putting independent artists and songwriters and producers at the forefront of our marketing on the same equitable stage as some of the biggest superstars in the world."
Araya, who Spotify claims was the most-streamed artist on the flagship Fresh Finds playlist in 2021, says that he's noticed an increase in interest from the public since his induction into Fresh Finds, but that the growth "still feels extremely organic, which is something that I care a lot about." While Araya says he "used to be scared" to look at his streaming numbers, the program also gave him a new perspective on metrics: "I have these numerical goals, and it doesn't feel ego-related."
On Apr. 27, Spotify announced the third batch of Fresh Finds artists — Delaney Bailey, Jhariah, Carter Faith and Alemeda — and is also looking at partnerships to expand the program in the future. The company also recently launched a Fresh Finds spinoff in the TikTok series Unfinished Finds, through which Spotify works with eight artists at a time to highlight their unreleased tracks on the video-sharing platform.
Pom Pom Squad, Araya and TOLEDO have all graduated out of Fresh Finds, but the hope, at least, is that alumni can use the momentum gained from the experience to further their careers down the line. Says Ring, "[We're] structuring this work around allowing them to learn, create and grow their audience in the long term."

Jeremiah 1:5-12
5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations." 6 Then said I: "Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth." 7 But the LORD said to me: "Do not say, 'I am a youth,' for you shall go to all to whom I send you, and whatever I command you, you shall speak. 8 do not be afraid of their faces, for I am with you to deliver you," says the LORD. 9 Then the LORD put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the LORD said to me: "Behold, I have put my words in your mouth. 10See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out and to pull down, to destroy and to throw down, to build and to plant." 11Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, "Jeremiah, what do you see?" And I said, "I see a branch of an almond tree." 12 Then the LORD said to me, "You have seen well, for I am ready to perform my word."
A vision must point in a specific direction. There must be a desired destination to avoid a journey in futility. A lot of destinies have been aborted because people are unable to give an answer to Where? God gave Jonah a vision of a deliverer and gave him the direction to follow. A lot of individuals marry wrongly, fall into the wrong carrier because they are clueless in pursuing where they ought to be in a specific time in their future.
Our thought process, associations and actions will point in the direction we have chosen to walk. The voice we follow whether of the Holy Spirit or otherwise will propel us in fulfilling either God's purpose for us or our own agenda. For example as a member of a ministry, you must align with the direction God has given the visionary so as to be on the same page to ensure we all safely arrive.
A lot of people even Christians alike sometimes make decisions without the consideration of the consequences involved. The question Why will bring to the open hidden motives and or agenda in the pursuit of our God given vision. The question WHY will serve to checkmate any form of selfishness to the vision. When we can answer why, we will be able to stand firm in the face of challenges and oppositions to the commission. Answering why will open the door to the expression of our gifts and talents.
When you know why of a vision or why you are a part of the vision of the ministry, you will not be lured away by other people's dreams or get jealous of other people's successes.
A direction without an agenda can end up anywhere or nowhere. When we know the purpose why God has brought us to be a part of a vision, we will be willing to walk in that direction. God had a plan when He created you (Jeremiah 29:11), and He gives you the blue print to follow to fulfil it.
For further study:
Lamentation 3:37
Personal declaration for the day:
I will receive God's direction for my life and will stay on the path he has chosen for me.
Questions for you to reflect on:
Where are you in the vision of God for your life and where is your final destination?

Amarin's Vascepa: US FDA Panel To Scrutinize Breadth Of CV Risk Reduction
Executive Summary
REDUCE-IT enrolled a higher risk group than the broad population targeted by Amarin's proposed indication statement, agency says; although reviewers conclude an interaction between the mineral oil placebo and statins cannot be excluded, any impact would have been small and unlikely to change overall treatment effect.

With a postponed wedding and no clear date in sight, Andy Cohen was curious if Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez ever just considered canning the wedding plans altogether and pulling "a Goldie [Hawn] and Kurt [Russell] thing." The celebrity couple is famous for never tying the knot despite being together since 1983, a decision that Goldie recently even defended. Like Goldie and Kurt, J.Lo admitted that she and A-Rod have have also considered opting out of marriage while appearing on the Dec. 21 episode of SiriusXM's Radio Andy.
"Oh yeah we've talked about that for sure. I mean at our age, we've both been married before, it's like, do we get married? Do we not? What does it mean for us?," J.Lo admitted to Andy. "And it's just, it comes down to like personal, like, what do you want to do? There's definitely no rush though." J.Lo and A-Rod would have been married already, though, if it weren't for a worldwide pandemic that effectively shut down the world in March.
"It was really sad because we were supposed to get married in June and we had planned at all," J.Lo revealed. "So in March or April, we're looking down the pipe and we're going, 'This is maybe not going to happen.' Italy's the worst place in the world. And we were going to get married in Italy. It was, yeah, it was like, I was like, 'okay, we got to cancel everything.' And we just started kind of like, and we had to put out all this money and all this stuff, we were like, we gotta cancel it. So we, we canceled it."
J.Lo found that it was "still not the right time" to exchange vows when they tried "to regroup for later in the year," as in "a few months ago." That meant a 2020 wedding was just not a reality for J.Lo and A-Rod, which the bride-to-be admitted was "a little disappointing." However, she has been given a new perspective on the wedding, which she explained by also looking at Goldie and Kurt's relationship.
"You just think to yourself, 'Well, things will happen in their divine time in a way'," J.Lo said, adding, "But the same thing with like the Goldie thing and Kurt, you think, 'Do you have to, should we?' It just kind of gave us a moment to pause and think about it." For now, though, the nuptials remains at a standstill as J.Lo concluded, "And I think it's something that maybe is still important to us, but there's no rush, you know, there's no rush it'll happen when it happens."
In October, J.Lo was "so looking forward to getting married" and was "going to go full force on a wedding" once the pandemic ended, which a source close to the singer and actress EXCLUSIVELY told HollywoodLife towards the end of October. It has now been more than a year and a half since A-Rod got down on one knee and proposed to J.Lo on the beach in March of 2019. Like J.Lo said in her interview with Andy, both she and A-Rod were previously married to different partners (J.Lo split from Marc Anthony in 2011, while A-Rod divorced from Cynthia Scurtis in 2008). J.Lo and A-Rod began publicly dating one another in 2017, and have been taking their relationship nice and slow ever since.

Rachel Brosnahan has seen a lot in her 13 years in New York. But it wasn't until recently that she considered herself a real
New Yorker.
A week before Christmas, Brosnahan, 31, received a call from a friend who had swung by her apartment and discovered an unexpected guest in her bathroom: a deceased, water-logged rat who had climbed up her pipes and drowned in her toilet. Traumatized, Brosnahan and her husband, actor Jason Ralph, rushed home to assess the situation. "We felt like the Ghostbusters walking into that apartment," Brosnahan says over a Zoom call weeks later. Brosnahan, who decided she would be the one to fish out the rat, went into crisis mode: She put back on her black KN95 mask, slapped on some blue surgical gloves, fashioned a pair of "rat chopsticks" from two wooden sticks and got down to business, as her husband recorded the whole operation for TikTok. Of course, it went viral. "People were so mad at me for not showing the rat," says Brosnahan, who put a GIF from Pixar's "Ratatouille" over the real dead rat. "What? It was traumatizing. Nobody wants to see that, and I'm not about to put that on anyone's For You page."
While Brosnahan considers exterminating a drowned rat from her toilet as her rite of passage as a New Yorker, many would consider her role as Midge in "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel"— Amazon's Emmy-winning comedy series about a fast-talking, uproarious housewife-turned-stand-up-comedian from Manhattan's Upper West Side—as her official New York badge of pride. "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel," which premieres its fourth season on February 18, follows Midge's career, from her first off-the-cuff standup routine at the Gaslight Cafe in season one to her big break as the opening act for one of America's most beloved Motown singers (and the fallout that comes next) in season three. While Brosnahan sees some similarities between her and Midge's careers ("Midge and I both learn by doing"), she admits it took her a lot longer than a couple seasons to become the award-winning actor she is today. "Midge may have had a slightly more overnight success," she says.
Brosnahan grew up in Highland Park, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. She knew she wanted to be an actor from a young age after playing Tree #4 in a kindergarten production of "The Little Red Riding Hood" and downloading illegal audiobooks on Napster that she would listen to in her sleep and make up her own stories to. After she graduated from high school, Brosnahan moved to New York, where she auditioned for small parts in shows like "Gossip Girl" and "The Good Wife" and found a job as a hostess working the graveyard shift at a 24-hour French restaurant in the Flatiron District. One day, while at work, Brosnahan got an audition for what she considered a "make-it-or-break-it" role at the time: a part in a Broadway play. She was faced with a choice. "That was the moment I decided I was going to go all in on the pursuit of this dream and risk the bottom falling out from underneath me," Brosnahan says. "I respectfully walked out of the shift and was told if I left, I couldn't come back."
Brosnahan didn't get the part. But her career survived. Around that time, she also had an audition for Netflix's "House of Cards," the service's first-ever original series and the first of many streaming shows to follow. She auditioned for the role of Zoe Barnes, an ambitious White House journalist who has an affair with the president. Brosnahan lost the part to Kate Mara, but she impressed the creators enough for them to offer her a five-line character in the pilot named "Call Girl." What was meant to be one scene was soon expanded to three seasons as Brosnahan—whose character was renamed Rachel Posner, a former prostitute who develops a relationship with the White House Chief of Staff—found herself in her first recurring television role. She credits her expanded part to Michael Kelly, who played Doug Stamper, Rachel's love interest and eventual murderer. "He called my agent and told them how much he loved working together and knew what kind of impact that could make for a young actor who's just starting out and desperately trying to get their agent's attention," Brosnahan says.
The success of "House of Cards" led Brosnahan to "Manhattan," a TV drama based on a World War II project of the same name that produced the first nuclear weapons. The show, which introduced Brosnahan to her husband, was canceled after two seasons, at which point Brosnahan decided she was done with television and ready to return to theater. Before she could leave TV completely, however, Brosnahan's manager had one last script to send her: a show called "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel." "I was like, 'Eh. I don't want to do any more TV.' He was like, 'I really need you to read this script.' Once I opened it, I couldn't put it down," she says. The part was for Miriam "Midge" Maisel, a New York housewife in the 1950s who embarks on a career as a stand-up comic after her husband of four years leaves her for his secretary. Brosnahan—who spent the first decade of her career being told she wasn't funny—thought she'd be the last person to play a comedian. "I didn't think in a million years I would get it," she says. "When someone is like, 'You have a fair amount of skills, but this isn't one of them. Maybe you should consider heading in a different direction,' it becomes a part of the narrative you tell yourself."
Despite her overpreparation, Brosnahan's first audition went horribly. "I was tripping over my words. I started over three times, which you're never supposed to do," she says. "At a certain point, I was just trying to get the words out of my mouth." Afterward, Brosnahan treated herself to a chocolate croissant and some retail therapy as she tried to move on. To her shock, she received a call days later telling her that "Maisel" creator, Amy Sherman-Palladino, wanted to see her in Los Angeles for a studio test. The call couldn't come at a worse time. Brosnahan, who was in Vancouver with her husband, was sicker than she'd been her whole life. "In the middle of this current moment, it seems like old hat, but at the time, it felt like the plague," she says. She consulted with a doctor, who told her she'd risk rupturing her eardrum if she went on a plane. She asked "Maisel" if she could wait a week to recover and was told no and that the show would have to move on without her.
But Brosnahan wasn't ready to let the opportunity go. She delayed as long as she could for her body to heal before she hopped on a plane, still sick as ever, and flew to L.A. "I was so sweaty. My shoes were a slip-and-slide. I kept having to blot my face with a tissue.
she says. "But something magical happened in that room." The audition scene was one of the final moments from the pilot, where Midge, wasted on wine and drenched in rain, performs an impromptu stand-up routine at a comedy club hours after her husband, Joel, leaves her. "I was so sick I didn't have the capacity to care what anyone else thought about what was happening," Brosnahan says. "I didn't have the energy to be self-conscious and I'm sure me and all my sloppiness were pretty much just the fuel and fire that scene needed." The next morning, while alone in a cheap Airbnb she booked at the last minute, Brosnahan received a rejection call for another role she wasn't funny enough for. "I got a call that morning saying, 'Unfortunately, that one isn't going to go your way. They liked what you did. They just didn't feel like it was very funny,'" she says. Two hours later, she booked "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" and learned she would be playing a stand-up comedian. "My mind broke that day. I had an identity crisis," she says.
"The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" premiered in March 2017 and went on to become one of Amazon's most successful original series, winning both the show and Brosnahan Emmys and Golden Globes in 2018. Fame was an adjustment for Brosnahan, however, who found her life turned upside down seemingly overnight. "I don't think I knew how shy or introverted I was until I felt naked in public," she says. "I'm not Angelina Jolie. This is the tip of the iceberg. But it made me realize I had been holding onto this old-fashioned idea of what success in this industry can look like in an age of social media and a 24-hour news cycle." Four seasons into "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel," and people knowing her name (and how to pronounce it) is something Brosnahan is still getting used to. "I became an actor so I didn't have to be myself all the time," she says. "It's that push–pull of you want people to know you're a person and maybe something you say can have an impact on somebody, but I also crave what feels like a piece of Hollywood past where you can have a life that's so private and behind closed doors, and your work speaks for itself."
Still, despite her worries about living under a microscope and saying the wrong thing, Brosnahan understands that every mistake is an opportunity to learn. She was reminded of this by Midge, who, in season four, must confront the mistakes she made in the previous season after she almost outs singer Shy Baldwin during a stand-up routine and is fired as his opening act. "I believe we all have the capacity to keep growing and changing and that only comes when we take missteps, fall down and figure out how to pick ourselves back up," Brosnahan says. "That's something Midge certainly is confronted with and handles in her very Midge way. When we meet her this season, she's in the first stage of grief, which for her is fury and revenge. But I think, maybe for the first time, she comes to terms with the role she played in her own downfall. There's nothing to lose and everything to gain. She watched her career ambitions fly away on that plane and she's going to have to rebuild." Season three also sees Midge recognize her white privilege after Shy, a Black man, reminds her of the racial segregation that was still very much alive in the time of "Maisel." "This experience of both going on tour with a Black man at that time and a closeted Black man no less was hugely eye-opening for her and quite, let's be real, late in her life," Brosnahan says. "This is somebody who'd been shrouded in privilege, and I share that frustration with a lot of viewers that Midge's progress isn't linear and sometimes slower than you'd like it to be. But I appreciate that she shows it's still possible to learn."
After four seasons of "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel," Brosnahan still has no idea what the end looks like for her or Midge. "I frankly would continue playing this character as long as they give me the opportunity to," she says. That said, she still has some clues about what Midge's future looks like, whether the show makes it that far or not. "I've asked Amy 2,000 questions and one was, 'Where do you see Midge ending up in the future?'" she says. "This isn't how the show ends, but for whatever it's worth, what she said was she envisions Midge living in a penthouse apartment with 20 poodles one day. She'll be wildly successful, but she'll always look back on the day before Joel left her as the happiest day of her life." While Brosnahan doesn't know when she'll retire as Midge, she does know she wants to do something completely different when she is ready to hang up her hat. "I've spent the last six years living in this world of comedy. Next I'd like to do something drastically and wildly different," she says. "So far, I've had the privilege of never really living in the same space twice and that's something I'd love to continue. This show has been an incredible opportunity to stretch as an actor and to learn who I was as a person. I can only hope that whatever that next opportunity is that it offers that same experience in a wildly different direction."
It's a frigid Thursday morning in New York as Brosnahan, dressed in a striped beige and gray sweater and thin, wide-rimmed glasses, sips coffee over a Zoom call from the dining nook of her apartment. Behind her is a black-and-white painting she found on Instagram of a naked woman, and by her feet are her two pitbulls wrestling on a patterned carpet in her living room beside a small guitar. It's two weeks before the premiere of "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" season four and Brosnahan, who just came back from a circuit of late-night shows in L.A., is recalling one of the first times she was recognized while at a cabaret show in New York soon after "Maisel" premiered in 2017. "I remember a woman literally falling to her knees and going, 'Oh my God. I love this show. You are my grandmother,'" Brosnahan says. "She said it had gotten her through a challenging time and that Midge reminded her of her grandmother and how bold, brave and boundary-breaking she was for her time."
Brosnahan, who based parts of Midge on her own grandmother, has heard a lot of personal stories throughout her years on "Maisel." She's heard from parents who are challenged by their children like Midge's father and mother Abe and Rose. She's heard from friends who defend their loved ones until the end like Midge's manager Susie. She's heard from women who have dumped their shitty husbands like Midge. "We've broken up a lot of marriages over the years," Brosnahan jokes. Whatever story she's heard, each one is special to each viewer. "You create these fictional people in a vacuum and you put them out into the world and they become more real than you could've possibly imagined," Brosnahan says. "They mean such different things to different people. So many people have points of entry into the show through the characters."
For Brosnahan, that entry point was Midge and everything she embodies: unapologetically herself, resilient and messy as hell. "Midge is always moving forward. She takes her hits and moves forward with them," Brosnahan says. "She also doesn't apologize for being herself, which is something I know I have struggled with and a lot of people, especially women, struggle with." Brosnahan pauses. "She's a nut job, but I love her." [Source]

I have not answered that myself and as such I am asking myself that question. I certainly like the fact I am working on new things and getting to branch out into areas I might not normally get a chance to work with. That said, there are some downsides as well.
At first you are going to see that hourly rate and say, wow that is a lot per hour. Hold on there though. Most likely that rate does not include paid holidays or vacation time. So you need to take your salary/year based on 40 hour work week (if your contract is 40hr/week) and then minus the vacation time you'd like to have and the holidays you won't get paid for. Check up front to find out if you can work holidays. If you can't, each of those days off is 8 hours of pay you are missing.
That adds up to make your hourly rate start to not look so good.
The other thing to consider about your rate and contracting is are you going to go with a firm (I have) which makes finding contracts easy but eats into your rate. Meaning, that the contracting company is taking a cut of the rate per hour you are being paid. Now, you don't see that taken out of your pay cheque, but needless to say, if you want to do the harder path and run the business side of things then you can make more contracting on your own.
Also, do you want to gain ownership of something and make decisions about the design and direction of the product? Then contracting, unless it is an architectural position, may not be your thing. So far I have seen that contractors in general are paid to get stuff built. That is great if you don't want to have ownership and just like doing new things each day. Not so cool if you like to have a say in the product and help design what you ship.
I am still out on this one. There is certainly an advantage to just being a grunt, getting stuff done. It is amazing to see the amount of code/progress you can make each week just implementing and not planning. That said, it's nice to have some more skin in the game with the design of a product.
Some other things to keep in mind is that you (most likely) will not get matching contributions for retirement or other benefits. That is fine if you are getting paid a high enough rate. If not, then you are missing another chunk of cash.
Contracting has the allure of new projects, less maintenance of products, and the ability to make more hourly. The truth is that the new projects and less maintenance of long term code comes at the price of ownership in the product. The high hourly rate hides the visible benefits of full time positions that you might not consider.
So, like many things in life, it all comes downs to tradeoffs. Which ones are you willing to make and what do you want out of your job.

We've all seen the sous vide egg bites at our local Starbucks and I'm sure we've all asked the same question—what is sous vide? If you're confused about this cooking style, you're not alone. Sous vide may sound like a high-scale trend that's impossible to recreate at home, but that's far from the truth. If anything, it's so simple, it may blow your mind.
What Is Sous Vide?
Sous vide (French for "under vacuum") is a cooking technique in which the food is vacuum sealed in a plastic bag, or sealed jar, submerged in water and heated at a consistent, controlled temperature. Since the temperature is controlled precisely, the finished results can be predicted every time.
When you think about it, it makes perfect sense. When we cook traditionally, heat is transferred from the burner, to the pan, to the food. When using an oven, the surrounding air and pan is always hotter, so both methods must involve removing the food at the right time so it doesn't under or overcook. Using the sous vide method, food is heated to the exact temperature required to cook evenly. You can even leave the food in the water bath without the worry of overcooking it.
What to Make With the Sous Vide Method
Yep, basically everything. From steak to chicken to eggs, to all the veggies, this method can be used for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It can be used for large foods and feasts, such as pork or ribs, or a snack as small and simple as hard-boiled eggs.
If you want to try your hand at using the sous vide method at home, USA Today shared a great video on how to make Starbucks-style sous vide egg bites right at home. Or you can make this omelette in a bag, a super moist sous vide burger, shrimp, or this surprisingly simple sous vide cheesecake.
You can find a wide range of sous vide machines and parts from places such as Amazon, Best Buy to even Walmart. Just do some research and look up which option best suits your needs. However, sous vide machines and parts can range from $100 to up to $400, which doesn't even include a food saver. There are plenty of ways to try the sous vide method without spending a fortune on cooking supplies.
LifeHacker.com suggests trying it using a multipurpose pot (they specifically suggested Presto Multi-Cooker), an aquarium pump for circulation and a precise thermometer. According to Serious Eats, you can even try to cook your meal using a beer cooler. People tend to forget that a cooler can trap heat inside just as well as isolate it from the outside. Be careful, though, they also say this option is better for sous vide recipes that are shorter on time, so if you're looking for a more intricate feast it would be wise to get the actual sous vide cooker.
If you're feeling adventurous, give this unique cooking technique a go and show everyone how it's done. You'll cook everything so perfect and evenly, you'll have friends and family like. . .

For the first time since mid-March, the Planet Hollywood poker room in Las Vegas is now open for business. The Caesars Entertainment-owned card room reopened Friday at noon, but will only be open during limited hours.
Planet Hollywood is located on the central part of the Strip, right across the street from Bellagio, which is home to one of the most popular poker rooms in the world. The Las Vegas Strip is widely considered the top destination for poker in the US, given that 15 card rooms reside on that one street, Las Vegas Boulevard.
At Planet Hollywood, one of Caesars' eight Southern Nevada properties, you'll find a medium-sized poker room with 11 tables, most of which offer low-stakes cash games. The Planet Hollywood poker room also hosts cheap daily tournaments and a popular annual summer Phamous Poker Series.
Poker returned to the Strip casino on Friday for the first time in seven months. While it's return is welcome, players may be disappointed to find the room won't be open 24/7 — at least temporarily — due to limited weekday tourism demand in Las Vegas since COVID-19. For the time being, poker at Planet Hollywood will only be offered Thursday to Sunday from noon until 4 am.
Games will be played with a maximum of eight players per table, and plexiglass dividers are in place to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Per state health guidelines, face masks are required at all times, unless eating or drinking.
Planet Hollywood Poker Room Big Boost to Las Vegas Poker Scene
Slowly but surely, the Las Vegas poker industry is returning. Prior to COVID-19, there were 31 open card rooms in town. During the initial casino reopening weekend in early June, only four poker rooms returned to action. With the Planet Hollywood poker room reopening, that number is now all the way up to 20, a beautiful sight for those who were worried the global health pandemic would kill live poker.
All of the top card rooms in town are back. The Encore poker room at Wynn reopened its poker room on Sept. 30, but is temporarily moving back to the Wynn side of the property due to a lack of demand in the Encore casino.
Las Vegas is home to some of the most popular poker rooms in the world, such as Bellagio, Aria, and Venetian.
