PRODUCT: Cream Cheese & Sour Cream Hybrids With Greek Yogurt
We have long been cutting down the fat content of our dips by mixing sour cream with fat free Greek yogurt. Sooner or later, dairy producers were going to figure out that creamy, nonfat Greek yogurt could be used to lower the fat count and calorie count in those two voluptuous, fatty and caloric dairy staples, cream cheese and sour cream.
We initially received the news from Breakstone, which launched the first nationally "hybrid" last month: delicious Greek Style Sour Cream. It contains 50% less fat, 40% less cholesterol, and twice the calcium and protein of regular sour cream (each two tablespoon serving has 4% of the daily value for calcium and 2 grams of protein).
They sent us samples. It is smooth, creamy, far superior to nonfat sour cream, and no one will know the difference. Use it instead of full fat sour cream in any recipe. We were so excited, we devoured half the carton with a spoon.
The product is certified kosher by OU.
A guilty pleasure: sour cream with New York Style Bagel Chips. Photo by Elvira Kalviste | THE NIBBLE.

Then, we were trolling the aisles of our supermarket and saw Green Mountain Farms Greek Cream Cheese. Green Mountain Farms is a brand of Franklin Foods.
Similar to the Breakstone Greek Sour Cream, the blending of nonfat Greek yogurt into cream cheese results in two times the protein and half the fat of conventional cream cheese, plus "live and active cultures."
Our market only carried the plain version, but it also is made in Cucumber Garlic, Garlic & Herb, Roasted Red Pepper and Sundried Tomato. The products are packaged in bricks and tubs. The line is certified kosher by OU.
Strangely, we detected a very slight sweetness to the product, such that we checked the label to see if any sweetener was in it (there isn't any).
While this might be delicious on a cinnamon raisin bagel, it was distracting on our poppy seed bagel with smoked salmon. The product consistency was less firm than conventional cream cheese (in the way that fat-free cream cheese can be), but not disconcertingly so.
Try it yourself and see if you like it. When we're in a fat-cutting mode, however, we'll stick with Philadelphia Fat Free.
Neither the Greek sour cream or Greek cream cheese is Greek in origin. The name simply refers to the Greek-style yogurt used in the blend.
If you're looking to cut back on fat, "Greek" is the new lower-fat. Opa!

Chancellor Blank statement on Big Ten return to competition
University of Wisconsin–Madison Chancellor Rebecca Blank released the following statement following the Big Ten's announcement that it would return to competition beginning Oct. 23-24.
"The health and safety of our student-athletes and coaching staff has always been my biggest concern when thinking about playing a Big Ten Football season this year. These concerns led the Big Ten Council of Chancellors and Presidents (COP/C) to postpone the season in August.
Since that time, many people have worked hard to answer the questions and concerns that resulted in postponement. My fellow presidents and chancellors have had extensive conversations with doctors and medical advisors and believe that a testing plan that relies on daily, rapid testing of all student-athletes and coaching staff is now feasible and affordable.
Medical advisors to the Big Ten have produced clear protocols for testing, isolation, and return to play. They also have a protocol to check any athletes who become ill for heart-related problems. With these protocols, the health concerns that I had in August have been allayed. The Big Ten has also agreed to pay for the testing, which will be done in a uniform manner in all schools.
Above all, I support our coaches and student-athletes and want them to have the opportunity to safely compete, if possible. I believe the plan put forward by the Return to Competition Committee, with its extensive safety protocols and tight controls, allows that to happen.
I'm particularly grateful to Athletic Director Barry Alvarez, who led the Return to Competition Committee, which developed a viable schedule.
While football will probably begin competition before other sports, these protocols will cover all sports. Updates regarding fall sports other than football, as well as winter sports that begin in the fall, will be announced by the Big Ten soon.
There are still many details to be worked out, but I will be happy to see the Badgers return to competition in 2020."

Exclusive Interview with Steven Chorney
Original artwork for "Licence To Kill" by artist Steven Chorney. Here an exclusive interview with him on the creation of the artwork:
Q: How did the Bond producers get in touch with you for the "Licence To Kill" poster artwork?
A: The proceedure followed has usually been for the Movie Studios to contract an advertising agency to create a specific promotional "campaign". This would provide a full service approach to the marketing direction of any particular film. At that time there were a number of such agencies in the Hollywood area, these would then turn the art assignment over to a free-lance or independant artist to create the image to be used. At times more than one artist were used on the same project, some for concept designs, some for final artwork. There were only so many artists specializing in this field so there were also availability issues at work also. So, to answer your question, I suppose I was just at the right place at the right time!
Q: What kind of briefing or input did you receive?
A: ACTION, that was the first word in any James Bond promotion..."life threatening action" followed by GIRLS! We always sensed there would have to be at the very least "a Guy, a Girl and a Gun"!!! In this case it was to be a Guy, Two Girls and Two Guns!! The direction was fairly simple really, we received a basic idea of story content and specific action scenes from the film, after that we tried to do our magic in conveying the excitment of the movie. Oh yes, did I say? It was imperative to make the stars look like they should look...or even better!
Q: How much time did you have to create the artwork?
A: As a rule we had no time to create the artwork...but there was always time to revise it afterward!! At times we were called upon to create a concept painting in one day!! If a week was given it would seem like a luxury. It was a very fast paced business. To expedite the compositon I used my wife to pose as the females holding the lethal weapons.
Q: Can you describe the creative process in terms of composition, choice of colours etc? A: Simple: Most important feature (main star) is largest while all else is subordinant. Colors? Hot reds, yellows for intense heat and excitement, cooler tones of violet and blues for less important areas. Of course it is also important to arrange things in a pallatible or easily digested manner, that is, so as to allow the eye to easily follow a 'path of least resistance' and actually want to see the imagery.
Q: What materials do you use?
A: Anything is fair in the field of illustration. No one cares what was used if the desired result is achieved. I have used pencil, charcoal, acrylic paint, airbrush spraying, toothbrush spattering, coffee staining and even sponge painting to get the desired effect...why not? I have even started a fire on some art for the effect!!! Not recommended! I believe other artists do similar things. And while we did not have the computer in those days so much, I do use it to work some magic now.
Q: What is the most fun part of creating this artwork?
A:The most fun has come years later. It seems it has been remembered by many now that I have nearly forgotten about it!
Q: Any special anecdote associated with this artwork?
A: Well Peter, I reluctantly will say, my wife was not so excited at the time to pose with a sparkly dress brandishing a shotgun! She wished it be unknown that she had done that...wouldn't you know, the reference photo of her posing inadvertantly wound up posted on the Agency billboard for a month or more before it was returned!!!! Happily that is now ancient history.
Q: Do you know what happened to the original of the artwork?
A: It has since been sold to a wild eyed collector of James Bond memorabilia. He is certifiably crazy for Bond...perhaps you know him!

2018 Advocacy Honoree - Dover Federal Credit Union
Dover Federal Credit Union
2018 Advocacy Honoree
I am proud to endorse Dover Federal Credit Union for the 2018 CCUA Award of Excellence in Advocacy.
As we know, Credit Union's provide services that are both helpful, and life changing to our members. Unfortunately, not all legislators see, or understand the difference that we make in our members lives; however, Dover Federal has done a phenomenal job at bridging that gap.
As an employee of Dover Federal Credit Union, it has been my honor to watch Credit Union employees work collectively and successfully in helping our legislators understand where our industry stands on legislative affairs and why. Dover Federal has been a champion organization regarding advocacy in the past year, hitting our legislators from all angles. Our credit union has displayed a commitment to working with our legislators on a local, state, and federal level.
In the last year, Dover Federal:
- Attended each Hike the Hill
- Sent two employees to all DE advocacy committee meetings
- Sent two employees to CUNA YP Advocacy training in Washington D.C.
- Sent four members of the organization to GAC including one "crasher"
- Hosted Senator Carper and the press in the final days of S. 2155 with many business partners present to voice their concern of common sense regulation
- Reached out to Congress-woman Blunt-Rochester's office 15 times
- Reached out to Senator Carpers office 16 times and kept in constant contact with staffers
- Reached out to Senator Coons office 18 times and kept in constant contact with staffers
Dover Federal has made it our job to get to know each staffer personally, while making sure that they were informed on issues that credit unions were facing. We understand that if we want to see change, we have to first be the change. That is why we constantly send over reports, and articles to show how we are changing the landscape of the financial services industry. We take pride in telling our story, and fighting for common sense regulation.
It is my great honor and privilege to support this nomination of Dover Federal Credit Union for the 2018 Award of Excellence in Advocacy. In Delaware, Dover Federal Credit Union's Advocacy efforts have been second to none and are more than deserving of this great honor.

text: The annual Ames High Blood Drive, sponsored by Senior Senate, was held on Nov. 13. 115 students crowded the gym from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. Though the actual collection of blood took only about 20 minutes, students were asked to set aside an hour of their day for the entire process, which included donor registration and donor history screening. âI was down there for an hour and a half, but the wait was worth knowing you will be helping someone in need,â senior Mary Halbur said. Students were asked to donate a whole unit of blood, equivalent to one pint, which can save up to three lives. 14 tests are performed on each unit of blood to ensure its safety. Friday, 73 units of whole blood and 9 units of double red cells were collected, which exceeded Senior Senateâs goal of 75 total units. âIt truly amazes me how many Ames High students are willing to take time and donate,â Senior Senate adviser Kelly Micalone said. âI would like to thank the Blood Center of Iowa for giving them that opportunity.â The blood collected is to be used for patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatment, organ and marrow transplants, cardiovascular surgeries or treatment for blood disorders, as well as those with significant blood loss after an accident or trauma. âIt just feels good knowing I can help out,â second time donor Alex Houghton said. 71% of students who had registered were first time donors. âI was a first-time donor so I was a little nervous,â senior Burak Demirci said. âIt turned out to be special experience, though.â Some students werenât able to help for a variety of reasons, including weight requirements, travel history or illnesses. 38 percent of the U.S. population is eligible to donate blood but less than 10 percent donate annually. âI tried [to donate] but I was too low on iron,â junior Chrissy Amaya said. âI was under the weight limit and I traveled to Africa last summer.â Meese said. Though many students were ineligible to donate this year, they are encouraged not to give up. âTry again when you are feeling better or after the given amount of time being back in the country,â Micalone said. âItâs great that they want to donate and donors are always needed.â Someone in the world needs blood every two seconds, making the need for blood critical. âMany students may not understand how important blood donation is because they donât know anyone who receives blood, but it is more common than they think.â Micalone said. âMy hope is that the students that donate now will become life long donors and continue to seek out opportunities to donate.â

Kathmandu [Nepal], February 5 (ANI): Calls to boycott the events to be organized by the Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) have risen as the cricket regulatory body allows rape-accused cricketer Sandeep Lamichhane to practice.
On Saturday, people stood on the protest site of Maitighar Mandala holding placards questioning the move of CAN to induct Lamichhane, who is out on bail but under Police investigation for allegedly raping a minor, in the team.
Demonstrators who stood with placards near the administrative centre-Singha Durbar held the placards reading "CAN or CANNOT?" "Are we safe?""Gentleman Game or Mentalman Game?" amongst others.
Users have taken social media by storm against the cricket regulatory body using BoycottCAN which has gone viral in the Himalayan nation.
https://twitter.com/RameshBhushal/status/1621470380710928384A Twitter user with the handle @RameshBhusal mentioned the Scotland and Namibian team calling them to boycott the game planned for later this month and tweeted "Hello, Cricket Scotland @CSMOA_ and Cricket Namibia @CricketNamibia1, could you please boycott the game with Nepal. Our team includes a rape accused player named Sandip Lamichhane. @CricketNep"Nepal is set to host a triangular series under the ICC World Cup League 2 in Kirtipur from February 14-21 featuring Namibia and Scotland. Calls have risen to boycott the games after Lamichhane was inducted into the team for practice which started on Thursday.
Another Twitter user with the name @Anjita_Anjita tweeted "@CricketNep is a rape enabler! Boycott CAN. Cricket lovers - boycott the game. @PM_nepal_@cmprachanda as a minister of youth and sports and the PM immediately stop this horror from happening."The Nepal cricketer is accused of raping a 17-year-old minor on August 21 last year and was released on bail on January 13 by Patan High Court. On Tuesday, the Attorney General's Office moved the Supreme Court challenging the High Court's decision.
An investigation is being conducted against him under Section 219 of the Criminal Code 2074. If the crime against him stands, he will serve a prison term of 10-12 years. The national cricket governing body, the Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN), lifted the suspension imposed on the 22-year-old cricketer through its executive committee meeting on Tuesday and included him in the 20-member national team camp announced on Thursday.
The CAN had suspended him on September 8 after the Kathmandu District Court issued an arrest warrant.
"Disappointment, rage and anger is all I have and these are actually very sad things to feel when there';s such an idiotic action from a national association to such a sensitive issue. BoyCottCAN" tweeted a user @Prasansha27.
"I am a supporter of Nepali cricket, I used to go and watch all the games played by Nepal in Nepal. But due to the decision to include the rape accused of CAN in the team, this time I have reached the point where I will not watch it on the field or even on TV or on the scoreboard. BoycottCAN rageagainstrape" tweeted user @DhirendraSinal.
On September 8, while making public its decision to suspend Lamichhane, it put out a statement saying that "... the CAN work execution committee has decided to suspend Lamichhane in light of the Kathmandu District Court issuing an arrest warrant against him for investigation into a rape charge."Back then, it had not tried to downplay the accusation against Lamichhane by terming it a 'disciplinary action'.
But while lifting the suspension on February 1, CAN said "Board decided to lift the earlier suspension against former cricket captain Sandeep Lamichhane who was punished for violating discipline". (ANI)

Dear participants of the conference,
On behalf of the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly please let me greet you on the occasion of this significant and representative venue, which has been initiated within the Saint-Petersburg Economic Forum. I consider that the discussion of how the diamond, gold and platinum industries will function after Russia's accession to the WTO is very appropriate and important.
The development of civilized market relations in the field of mining, production and circulation of precious metals and gemstones, along with further production of jewellery, technical, medicinal and other goods, is of extreme importance for all the Russian economy and is exercising a strong influence on the general social and economic condition of this country.
At present the leaders of this industrial sector feel themselves rather confident on the world market. Other market players are prepared to offer to the foreign partners quite competitive products, some of them based on high technologies. But unfortunately it will take time, as first of all the persisting contradictions and bureaucratic obstacles have to be eliminated.
In my view, the nearest tasks are clear for everyone. It is urging to put order into the legislation by eliminating all the contradictions, which put brakes to the market development. The limitations deriving from the official structures should be reviewed, because they are mostly just rudiments remaining from the totalitarian past.
Today the supporters of the market economy have the same target: the Russian market must get the maximum of economic freedom and become part of the world market. Therefore we can only support the intention of the representatives of business and science to start here, at the conference, a direct dialogue with the authorities, whose duty is to follow up on the happenings in evolution of the market relations in gold, platinum and diamond sectors.
Wishing all of you much success.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) delivered a vital shipment of personal protective equipment (PPE) and computer equipment for Kyrgyz health care workers serving at the front lines of the COVID-19 response. The PPE, consisting of medical gowns, masks, N95 respirators, gloves, medical caps, shoe covers, and face shields, as well as supplies for taking patient samples for COVID-19 testing will be distributed to staff at health care facilities in Bishkek, Osh, Naryn, and At-Bashi to protect health care workers. The PPE is accompanied by computer equipment and software used to closely track the progress of hospital patients, inventories of PPE, and monitoring of COVID-19 infection trends.
Highlighting the CDC's close working relationship with the Kyrgyz Republic's Ministry of Health, CDC Central Asia Director Dr. Daniel Singer remarked in a statement, "Kyrgyz health care workers and epidemiologists are leading this battle, and we are happy honored to do whatever we can to support them, building on decades of partnership in fighting influenza and HIV/AidsAIDS."
The Head of the Department for the Prevention of Infectious, Parasitic and Epidemiological Diseases at MoH, Dinara Otorbayeva said, "Currently there are many scientific studies on COVID-19 conducted all over the world. Therefore, actions being undertaken may be supplemented by new findings, or even may change. With this regard international organizations provide huge support. For instance, our organization in cooperation with CDC and ICAP is providing various activities in response to COVID-19. We express our deep gratitude to the project for support in such a difficult time, during the coronavirus pandemic, for support in training medical workers and strengthening the base of healthcare organizations with PPE and organizational equipment. It is necessary to continue this project until stabilization of the epidemic situation in the country."
This delivery of equipment, valued at more than 6,000,000 som, is part of a larger Center for Disease ControlCDC project, implemented by the University of Columbia's ICAP to provide training and material support for the Kyrgyz Republic's epidemiologists, doctors and nurses. At healthcare facilities in Osh, Bishkek and Naryn, the project helped Kyrgyz medical staff to conduct infection protection control assessments to improve safety for medical staff and provided trainings on epidemiological surveillance and contact tracing for medical workers at 19 healthcare facilities.
Through CDC and the U.S. Agency for International Development, the United States is providing more than $5 million this year to support Kyrgyzstan's fight against COVID-19.

The Importance of Using Quality Faucets in Your Bathroom
Valves regulate the flow and temperature of water, so it is important to pick a dependable style. Of the four different kinds, a cartridge valve tends to be the most expensive but also one of the most sustainable with regular use. You should also look for good aerator quality to ensure that water flows consistently and to avoid that annoying splash when water hits the bottom of the sink.
At Bathroom Place, we want to offer our customers quality faucets from trusted, top-quality brands. Our line of Inolav faucets are some of the most reliable models available on the market today and are as ideal as it gets when it comes to fulfilling all the specifications of a quality bathroom fixture.

These particular faucets also feature outstanding aerators that actually save water, as well as ceramic cartridges that have been tested up to 500,000 cycles and still manage to maintain optimal performance.
Inolav has committed itself to producing faucets using the latest technology and materials in the industry. An inner advance die casting adds to the resilience of the inner mechanisms, and a two-step polishing and finishing process rounds out some of the features that make Inolav a leader in faucet manufacturing.
Looking for more great bathroom fixtures and accessories? Visit Bathroom Place online today and discover what quality really means.

The blockchain analysis firm Chainalysis announced Tuesday that it acquired Excygent, a cybercrime forensics company.
Exycgent is a highly specialized technology firm that services both public and private clients, even assisting U.S. governmental agencies with cybercrime investigations.
In a blog post, Chainalysis CEO Michael Gronager wrote that Chainalysis and Excygent had collaborated in past projects involving terrorism financing campaigns, the seizure of cryptocurrencies used in darknet marketplaces, and other illicit activity. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.
"Through that work, I've seen first hand that the Excygent team brings deep expertise in cryptocurrency and cybercrime investigations. I am thrilled to welcome them to our growing Investigations and Special Programs team, which provides lead generation, blockchain data analysis, and investigative support to government agencies," wrote Gronager in the post.
Chainalysis intends to use its acquisition of Excygent to further reduce cybercrime — especially ransomware — and to promote "greater financial freedom with less risk," the CEO said in a statement.
This year, Chainalysis reached a $4.2 billion valuation with its most recent funding round, bringing in $100 million in June.

To distinguish between transduced cell clearance and transgene regulation following adenoviral gene transfer, we infected F344 rat hepatocytes with an E-1-deleted adenovirus (Adβgal) and studied cell survival in the liver of dipeptidyl peptidase IV-deficient (DPPIV-) F344 rats. Transplanted cells were localized with histochemical staining for β-galactosidase (lacZ). The transgene was expressed in 90-100% hepatocytes without impairment in cell viability in vitro, although transplanted cells were cleared mostly within 1 day by infiltrates containing activated macrophages, CD4+ or CD8+ lymphocytes, and phagocytes. When ADβgal-transduced hepatocytes were transplanted repeatedly at 14-day intervals, transplanted cells were cleared rapidly each time. LacZ expression following Adβgal administration to intact animals was associated with apoptosis and unscheduled DNA synthesis in the liver. To determine whether adenoviral antigen expression activated consequential MHC-restricted liver injury, we transplanted Adβgal-hepatocytes followed subsequently by transplantation of nontransduced hepatocytes engrafted with progressive liver repopulation. The findings indicated that adenovirally transduced cells are cleared early in the host liver. Use of ex vivo strategies will facilitate analysis of modified adenoviral vectors in the context of immunoregulatory, cellular and viral mechanisms.

The Canadian shipbuilding industry is capable of building a wide range of vessels and firms with specialized capabilities in manufacturing and repairing ships, building oil and gas rigs, and supplying related equipment, technologies and services. Canada hosts a number of establishments in the vessel repair, refit and maintenance industry, predominantly located in coastal areas.
The industry has a long and proud history that encompasses everything from the world's finest 19th-century sailing schooners to modern icebreakers. In between are a diverse group of vessels that have been designed and built in this country to serve our unique, expansive coastline and its network of coastal marine communities.
The Canadian shipbuilding industry consists of shipyards, located in several parts of Canada, capable of building a wide range of vessels and firms with specialized capabilities in manufacturing and repairing ships, building oil and gas rigs, and supplying related equipment, technologies and services.
Canadian shipyards have built:
- passenger vessels
- research vessels
- offshore supply vessels
- lakers
- tugboats
- cargo ships
- fishing vessels
- work boats.
The industry also has experience in designing and producing sophisticated naval ships, icebreakers and coast guard vessels.
The commercial and civil shipbuilding, ship hulls and structural components and the naval ship fabrication, structures and components areas totaled $413.9M in sales; accounting for 28.8% of total marine sales in 2014.
Canadian Excellence: Some Success Stories
High-Speed Patrol and Search & Rescue Crafts
Canadian shipyards have seen great success in designing and building high-speed patrol and search & rescue crafts. Canadian jet boat designs have been selected by a variety of police forces, fire forces, coast guards and navies worldwide, including the U.S. Navy. Canadian shipyards have been recognized for their expertise in this field, winning several prestigious design and industry awards for excellence in design and construction.
Sophisticated Tugboat Production
The Canadian shipbuilding industry has built Anchor Handling Tugs for harsh environments. Since the 1990s, Canadian shipyards have secured major international contracts, without the use of subsidies. These include projects for the Panama Canal Authority, a variety of international companies and several governments worldwide, with vessels currently operating in several diverse locales, such as the North Sea and the Gulf of Mexico.
State-of-the-Art Fishing Boats, Pleasure Yachts and Catamarans
Canadian shipyards build state-of-the-art fishing boats, pleasure yachts and catamarans. Combining old techniques with the latest trends and technologies, the Canadian industry has carved out a strong niche for itself and won awards in the process.
Repair, maintenance and refit
Canada hosts a number of establishments in the vessel repair, refit and maintenance industry, predominantly located in coastal areas. The industry is comprised of companies that are primarily engaged in operating maintenance facilities with access to dry docking infrastructure and fabrication equipment suitable for the construction of ships, their repair, conversion and alteration, the production of components, and specialized services.
While maintaining a domestic ship repair capability is critical to supporting our federal fleets, this industry is key to ensuring the smooth operation of commercial shipping activity in Canadian coastal waters.
The industry generates a significant amount of its revenue from the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN), with Defence accounting for 61% of annual sales in 2014 versus 39% for commercial/civil customers (which includes the Canadian Coast Guard). Commercial customers include ferry operators, commercial fisheries vessels, cruise ships, freighters and the offshore oil and gas industry.
The ship repair, maintenance and overhaul sector's sales totaled $922.2M in 2014.
Dry Docking
While not all activity in this sector requires this infrastructure, it is essential for certain maintenance work as well as complex repair/refit activities on large vessels.
Canada is also home to the largest commercial graving dock on the west coast of the Americas, the Public Services and Procurement Canada-owned Esquimalt Graving Dock. These facilities are available for rental by commercial ship repair companies and service a wide variety of commercial vessels including cruise ships, tankers and container ships.
Evolution of the sector: In-Service Support (ISS)
ISS typically refers to the post-acquisition support of an established fleet that may be let to a single contractor or tendered separately. An ISS program is intended to provide long-term support, often for 20 years or more which can represent a greater overall cost than the initial fleet acquisition. While ISS is a holistic concept that includes (but is not limited to) training, program management, logistics services and engineering; a key element of this concept is vessel repair, refit and maintenance.
The Department of National Defence (DND) has awarded contracts to provide ISS for Minor Warships and Auxiliary Vessels as well as the Victoria-class submarines. Future fleets delivered to the RCN through the National Shipbuilding Strategy will also follow this model:
- AOPS/JSS In-Service Support Contract
The Naval Shipbuilding Projects Office (NSPO) intends to establish an In-Service Support (ISS) Contract that combines the Arctic/Offshore Patrol Ships' and Joint Support Ships' ISS requirements into a single, 35-year through-life contract.
- Canadian Surface Combatants In-Service Support Contract
The Canadian Surface Combatant (CSC) project management office intends to establish one or more In-Service Support (ISS) Contracts as part of the acquisition project, based upon the overall CSC Support Solution that will be defined.
Federal Government Support
Through the Buy in Canada component of ISED's Policy Framework for the Canadian Shipbuilding and Industrial Marine Industry the federal government has committed to, "continue to procure, repair and refit vessels in Canada subject to operational requirements and the continued existence of a competitive domestic marketplace." This means that the repair, refit and maintenance of the federal fleet is set aside for domestic firms.
Public Services and Procurement Canada has a Shipbuilding Repair, Refit and Modernization Policy that operationalizes the ISED policy and further restricts sourcing strategies on a regional basis.
Visit our programs and initiatives page to find out more about programs that can help you support your business.
Industry Associations
Canadian Marine Industries and Shipbuilding Association (CMISA) - the CMISA exists to promote the interest of the Canadian shipbuilding, ship repair and industrial marine industry.
Association of British Columbia Marine Industries – aims to work to strengthen the industrial marine sector of British Columbia. It will create a positive environment in which [their] industry can prosper and [their] people can grow.
Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries – is the national voice of more than 1,000 member companies operating in the defence and security industrial sector.

Over the past few years, tens of thousands of Central American children have flooded our southern border and almost none of them have been returned home. Instead, according to a new report by the Associated Press, most of them are being housed with fellow illegal aliens — often family members — and are straining our schools, health care, and social programs. And in the case of the Central American "child" who killed Sarah Root, some are straining our criminal justice system and killing Americans.
Here are the numbers from the Boston Globe via a FOIA request from the AP:
In response to a Freedom of Information Act request, the Department of Health and Human Services provided data showing that 80 percent of the 71,000 mostly Central American children placed between February 2014 and September 2015 were sent to sponsors who were not here legally.
Another 6 percent were placed with adults who had temporary protected status, a US government program that has let some Central American citizens stay and work in the country legally for more than a decade. Four percent were sponsored by American citizens and 1 percent by immigrants facing deportation proceedings.
Chain migration from legal immigration is bad enough. The keys to our future membership is in the hands of the immigrants instead of the citizenry. But what we have today is chain migration from illegal immigration. A first wave of illegal immigrants come through our border or overstay tourist visas and then encourage the rest of their families, including children, to make the trip over. Rather than our government enforcing the law and reuniting the entire family by repatriating them back to their countries of origin, Obama's Department of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services are rewarding the law-breakers by reuniting them on our soil.
This story reveals the great lie about amnesty. Proponents of amnesty say we have an obligation to legalize those already here, but at the same time they promise to enforce the laws in the future. The problem is that almost everyone in Latin America already has some relative living here legally and illegally. All they have to do is come here undetected and stay with a family member already living here — even illegally. What are we going to do about it? Deport them?
Meanwhile, our rural communities are experiencing an uptick in violence as a result of the open border. Earlier this week, at an immigration subcommittee hearing featuring victims of illegal aliens, Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) said that 95% of criminal aliens known to DHS are at large in the country, including those released "despite convictions that included a total of 473 homicide-related offenses, 375 kidnappings, 890 sexual assaults, and 10,731 assaults before their release." Who is standing up for the American taxpayers and their security?
Congress would be wise to push Rep. Aderholt's bill (H.R. 191), which would not only deport the new wave of illegals but identify the individuals housing them who are here illegally as well. Additionally, the bill would fix the loopholes for asylum, parole, and temporary protected status that Obama is abusing to ensure that none of these people are returned home.

Oklahoma pastor's wife, accomplice arrested for husband's murder
Days after Oklahoma Pastor David Charles Evans was shot dead inside his home, police arrested his wife and the suspected shooter.
The late pastor's 47-year-old wife, Kristie Dawnell Evans, reportedly told investigators that she and her husband were sexually involved with a 26-year-old man, and she asked him to murder her husband.
Responding to a 911 call, officers from the Ada Police Department found the 50-year-old pastor, who led the Harmony Free Will Baptist Church, severely wounded. Paramedics later pronounced him dead at the scene on Monday morning.
His wife called 911 to report the murder, claiming a stranger had entered their home and shot her husband. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation said Friday that she admitted to having played a role in her husband's murder, News On 6 reported.
"She said that she and Kahlil Square (the suspect shooter) had planned this," Captain Beth Green at the OSBI was quoted as saying. "She laid in bed until she heard Kahlil come into the house. She talked with him briefly in the living room and she stayed in the living room."
The pastor's wife added that Square, a resident of Newalla, Oklahoma, went into the bedroom and shot her husband with his own gun while he was asleep.
Kristie Evans and Square had an "intimate relationship … a sexual relationship" with the involvement of the pastor, at least at one point, Green added. "Neighbors reported that they had seen a white Mustang in the area and over at that house for several days."
Square has earlier been convicted in cases in Cleveland County.
The pastor's wife also told investigators that her husband was controlling and verbally abusive, according to News12, which also reported that Square met the Evanses a few months ago at a motel.
Evans is being held in the Pontotoc County Jail and Square in the Cleveland County Jail.
OSBI Director Ricky Adams thanked the whole team involved in the investigation.
"OSBI agents from across the state worked tirelessly on this investigation for days," Texoma's Homepage quoted Adams as saying. "With the help of OSBI intelligence analysts and multiple law enforcement agencies, the suspects responsible for Evans' murder are in custody. Our team will always follow the evidence and find the truth."
Oklahoma Freewill Baptist Church's Executive Director Mike Wade told KXII earlier that Evans, who was married with three adult children, was a driven pastor who would do anything he could for his ministry and the church.
"He was always a very outgoing guy," Wade said. "He always had a smile on his face, always looking out for the needs of others."

A rail work train derailment in the Empire Tunnel in Manhattan impacted Amtrak service for certain trains in and out New York Penn Station since Thursday night, but as of Friday afternoon, operations are back to normal, according to Amtrak.
At about 11:16 p.m. Thursday, a work train carrying cement derailed in the Empire Tunnel, Amtrak says.
The cause is still under investigation, according to the agency. However, as of about 1:07 p.m. Friday, the track was restored for typical speed, service and operations.
Although no injuries were reported, service was impacted in and out of New York Penn Station for trains traveling to or from Albany and other points north on the Empire Line, Amtrak said, adding that trains to and from Boston were not affected.
Many passengers looking to either get away early for the long weekend, or head to their Valentine's Day plans, were stuck waiting and hoping they would be able to leave soon.
"We've just been waiting here like stand-by, like 'We'll let you know,'" said Nancy Sicardo, from the Lower East Side. She said anytime an employee was asked for information, the response was less than helpful.
"I'm upset, but I'm not surprised. I don't have high expectations for Amtrak," said Chelsea resident Francesca Mainella.
Among the trains impacted were: Empire Trains 230 and 232. These two trains will terminate at Yonkers, while Empire Train 233 will originate at Yonkers.
Amtrak passengers were accommodated on Metro-North trains from Grand Central Terminal to YNY, the agency said.
Additionally, Train 234 was cancelled, and Trains 63 and 69 will combine to operate as one train between New York Penn Station and Albany, where it will then resume as two trains at Albany, according to Amtrak.

Ethereum Price Key Highlights
- Ethereum price recently broke out of a small symmetrical triangle but has slumped back in consolidation.
- A larger symmetrical triangle has formed and is still intact while price tests support.
- Technical indicators suggest that the floor might still hold, but bullish pressure seems to be fading.
Ethereum recently attempted to break past the $300 mark after a triangle breakout, but it has slumped back to consolidation.
Technical Indicators Signals
The 100 SMA is above the longer-term 200 SMA on this time frame to signal that the path of least resistance is to the upside. This suggests that support is more likely to hold than to break.
However, the gap between the indicators is pretty narrow so there could still be a chance of a bearish crossover and downside break. In that case, ethereum could fall by the same height as the chart pattern, which spans $250 to $330.
RSI appears to be crawling lower to indicate that selling pressure is present while stochastic is also pointing down so ethereum price might follow suit. A bounce could still happen and lead to a test of the triangle top at $300, though.
Ethereum has been under pressure due to speculations of a pickup in bearish positioning with the pending launch of futures on CBOE. Many point to the massive slide in bitcoin after futures were launched by CME and CBOE late last year, predicting that ethereum could suffer the same fate.
Besides, the Satis ICO research group forecast for ethereum wasn't nearly as bullish as that for bitcoin, so it's understandable that traders may be moving their holdings out of this digital asset. Note that ethereum is still reeling from the sharp August drop, which is being pinned on ICOs cashing out earlier on.

Omega Constellation, Steel Cased Dress Watch with Date- Model 168.005 - Rare Gold Capped Dog Leg Lugged Version - c.1966 - with Cal.561 Movement
The history of the Constellation line is very rich, it's one of Omega's oldest collections. The name stems from Omegas chronometre observatory based testing - observatory testing typically lasted for one to two months and contained accuracy tests that were possibly more taxing than modern-day methods.
Two principle features distinguish the first members of the collection: The Constellation signature and a star above the 6 o'clock marker, and a sealed case back with a medallion featuring the Geneva Observatory and eight stars.
The model was first introduced to the market in 1952 as a men's chronometer and has gone under numerous transformations over the years. From the 1950s pie-pans to the much slimmer quartz watches which were popular in the 1970s, the collection amalgamates in 1982 with the Constellation Manhattan and its iconic claws.
What's On Offer
An outstanding example of this classic model, the satin ivory dial is set off exquisitely by the gold baton hour markers. The 'dog leg' lugs compliment the dial with their unusual shape, beating inside the steel case is the caliber 561 movement, a well-respected workhorse of a movement from Omega. This watch runs well, keeps excellent time, and is in fantastic condition and even still has its original Omega signed plexiglass fitted along with an Omega signed G.P. crown! Understated elegance all day long from this timeless classic.

Scientists solve a Southern Ocean climate change mystery
The Southern Ocean is the planet's main heat and greenhouse gas sink, and without it, global warming would be a lot worse. It's also one of the least-observed and understood parts of the global ocean, due largely to its remoteness and competing influences there, from Antarctic sea ice to changing weather patterns and the slow healing of the stratospheric ozone layer.
The context: We've long known that on the ocean surface, parts of the Southern Ocean have been cooling over time, while deeper waters have been warming and freshening. But why these disparate trends have occurred has eluded scientists.
In a new study, published this week in the journal Nature Geoscience, scientists compiled the most comprehensive set of Southern Ocean observations available from 1950-2014. The study compares observations collected by ships and floats with model results.
They then used a "detection and attribution" approach using computer modeling combined with statistical techniques and observations to determine what causes of climate change best align with observed changes.
What they found: A combination of increasing amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and the gradual healing of the human-caused ozone hole over Antarctica are the main two drivers of change in a large part of the Southern Ocean, with greenhouse gases playing the dominant role.
- This suggests that as we emit more greenhouse gases, deep ocean warming and freshening will continue, potentially altering regional or even global ocean circulation.
- The Southern Ocean is the region where deep water interacts with the atmosphere, acting as "Kind of a gateway between the atmosphere and the ocean" study lead author Neil Swart of the Canadian Center for Climate Modeling and Analysis, told Axios.
Study co-author Sarah Gille, a scientist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, told Axios that it's critical that scientists better understand changes underway in the Southern Ocean, otherwise we won't be able to project the future climate with any accuracy.
"The Southern Ocean is the major connector between the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans. The current system of the Southern Ocean, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, carries more water than any other current on the planet," Gille told Axios.
"We want to understand this system, because we'd like to know how much heat and carbon dioxide it will continue to absorb, and what might make it stop taking up heat and carbon dioxide."— Sarah Gille, Scripps Institution of Oceanography
In an accompanying news & views piece, Nathaniel Bindoff, who was not involved in the study, says it's the first to apply a rigorous approach to estimate the relative importance of each factor causing Southern Ocean changes.

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7
Pours black in color with a tan head and leaves full lace immediately and all the way down the glass. The aroma is sweet notes of fermented oats, brown sugar, hint of smoke and chocolate. The taste is sweet milk chocolate and oats, with creamed coffee mid-palate, gets a little more bitter burnt charcoal of a flavour at the finish, but a sweet beer overall. The mouthfeel is not cloying from the sweetness, creamy and smooth, medium to full bodied even.

i'm grading this half way between what i'd give the bottle (better) and the can (worse). the flavor is nice, but like a Guiness, when it's on nitro, it's too unassuming. kinda boring, but smooth. the flavor comes out a little more in the bottle. the double chocolate, on the other hand, is better in the can...and better period.

This stout pours with a dark ruby brown. There tannish head on pur but has poor hang time. Aroma indicates coffee and molasses. The flavor is distinctly stout but with a nice smoothness.

Deep dark and gorgious pout. Slight like brown head with nice lacing. Bitter sweet and hoppy with just a hint of chocolate and the aroma of oatmeal. I am learning to love the darker side, especially Young's.

I tried the Oatmeal Stout at Nicholson's in downtown Cincinnati, OH. Deep brown color; delicate malty nose; sweet, but not too heavy; soft oat character evident, along with mild roastiness, restrained hops.

A very dark blacked colored ale that is very easy to drink. The brown colored head did not last long but the roasted chocolate malt smell was very apparent. A very unique medium bodied sweet beer and I noticed both chocolate and licorice flavors on the palate. A delicious beer that I would seek out again when beer shopping.

This was a nice tasty beer. It was a dark beer that poured a nice thick foam and that foam remained down until the last of the glass. All in all it was a good beer.

Best by date October 2006, Sampled August 2006
The beer pours a deep, not quite black, brown color that shows a brilliantly clear rich chocolate color when held up to the light. The aroma has a nice chocolate note to it, which moves to a nice, light roast coffee type note. A touch of sweet malt character yields a subtle note of burnt figs & raisins.
A creamy, lightly sweet malt notes yields quickly to a prickly carbonation and a bitter burnt grain note. The beer is a touch colder than I would like, but a bit of time will fix that. Light and quaffable on the palate, yet still rich and full of flavor. Sharp with a roast malt derived bitterness and even some hop bitterness. The combined bitter notes create ample balance to the evident malt sweetness. There is a touch of in the finish of this beer that is also a result of the roast character. As the beer warms up a bit more the chocolate note even become a bit more noticeable. Quit tasty, though it definitely benefits from being served on the warm side of things.

Cardiovascular risks in obese
Obesity not only increases the cardiovascular risks but it damages more than just the heart and blood system. It is also the major cause of bile stones, osteoarthritis and respiratory problems. Obesity closely interferes with many health conditions that underlie cardiovascular disease, including high blood pressure, diabetes and abnormal blood cholesterol. Additionally, weight gain is a frequent consequence of a heart-damaging lifestyle such as lack of exercise and a fat diet. Obesity can also lead to Cardiac arrest. This is a serious condition when the heart is unable to pump enough amount of blood to satisfy the body's requirement. Diabetic persons are at increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. One can reduce the risk by maintaining blood glucose levels (also called blood sugar), blood pressure and blood cholesterol levels close to the recommended target values - levels suggested by diabetes professionals for good health. Stroke and coronary heart disease can be caused by the same problem - atherosclerosis.

Face: A Visual Odyssey is a good book in that it does not feel good to read. Jessica Helfand, cofounder of Design Observer and Senior Critic at the Yale School of Art for a quarter century, is mostly succeeding in the execution of this extremely ambitious project. The project is a comprehensive examination of the representational issues at stake in matters of the face.
Face: A Visual Odyssey is organized in a manner that is loosely chronological in its examples, though the table of contents proposes an organizational scheme that is alphabetical. Here are the topics: anthropometry, biometrics + bias, caricature + close-ups, diagnosis, eugenics, facsimiles + fragility, the gaze, heredity, identity, judgement, keepsakes, likenesses + lies, masks + mirrors, narcissism, othering, physiognomy, quackery, relatability, surveillance + spectatorship, typecasting, users + the uncanny, vanity, wit, xenophobia, you, and zeitgeist.
Points to Helfand, of course, for hitting every letter of the alphabet. It's a face-saving (haha) move that nicely covers over the ridiculous challenge of putting this book together in any organized way. The scope of the subject is simply too large. We move from a study of our faces themselves, to our increasingly diverse means of capturing our faces, which doubles as a history of photography from daguerreotype to digitization. This segues into our decreasingly controllable means of disseminating our faces, which doubles as a sociology of how ideas proliferate in our modern and still evolving technological milieu.
The table of contents imposes an order that all too easily undermines itself. For example, doesn't every single chapter here touch on the gaze and identity? How thick is the line between the chapters on narcissism and vanity? Or between the chapters on diagnosis, eugenics, and heredity? Or between bias and judgment, or othering and relatability?
So Face is often all over the place, but hey, so are faces. The subject is unwieldy precisely because it is obviously a widespread, daily area of our negotiation within the politics of identity. When was the last time you went an entire day without encountering a face, either your own or someone (or something) else's? Probably literally never. Our lives are fraught with how to present our face as well as read the faces that we encounter daily.
We meet all kinds of faces: folks on our morning television news broadcast, our colleagues at work, the pizza delivery guy, the thousand tiny thumbnail photos functioning as our digital avatars on social media, and so on. Plus advertising, plus objects like the front of your car or the weird wallpaper in your den that kind of looks like it has faces. How do we process this vast quantity of face encounters?
Helfand's book felt unsettling in two ways: textually and visually. Naturally, there are a huge number of images presented alongside the text because a project that wants to theorize about faces requires tons of examples. The examples themselves are well-chosen to reflect the main points of each chapter and often directly referenced by the text. But I would say that upwards of 80% of the images fall somewhere along the spectrum from creepy or disquieting to downright startling or upsetting.
The cover image is a perfect representation. It's spooky, no? That image is actually only half a baby's face, reflected back on itself for perfect symmetry. You may have heard about this little trick and it is meant to make us feel weird. On the whole though, because the images for this project are chosen for their clear ability to evoke the concepts within the text, the entire set of images is necessarily a little hard to look at. I found myself speeding rather quickly through the visual examples in order to return to the relative safety of the text.
Except the text is often equally discomforting. Helfand chooses to frame the bulk of her representational considerations in a negative way. Obviously, it would be hard to deploy chapters like the one on xenophobia in a positive way. I'm not suggesting she should sugarcoat or gloss the real problems of how we handle facial representations and their proliferation. Nor am I suggesting that her approach is unnecessarily paranoid or judgmental vis-à-vis the status quo. But given the magnitude of what is at stake in the way we think about faces and the scope of challenges presented to us by this situation, I don't think it's too much to ask that readers leave this book feeling somewhat better empowered to navigate the often gloomy realities of their encounters with faces.
The chapter on vanity (excerpted here on PopMatters) is typical of Helfand's stylistic choices. It opens with a relatable anecdote, moves through a series of very condensed and specific examples, defines the main concept of the chapter, and then closes rather abruptly with an enumeration of the pitfalls and challenges of the concept. In general, the large majority of examples in each chapter showcase these problems, rather than suggest any way of working through them or turning them properly toward the good.
We need a better answer to these challenges than that of Tennessee Williams: accept the problem, avoid the problem permanently, or avoid the problem temporarily. Faces nails down the problems in a highly articulate way, but it seldom weighs in with suggestions for resolving the challenges of design and ethics that those problems require. I understand what Helfand wants us to see right now, but how do we approach what to do next? Face is indeed an odyssey, except after the chaos of a long and fraught voyage, even Odysseus got home eventually.

Is wood still the best shed material?Andy Hayes
When scouring the web for a new garden shed, you will be met with many different choices. You will normally see sheds of all different shapes and sizes that all promise the same thing, to be the building that your garden is crying out for. But is this actually always true? Is a large metal shed the best fit for your smaller garden? Would a plastic shed look out of place surrounded by your wooden fence?
At Solid Sheds, we are here to evaluate whether the traditional wood shed still reigns supreme as the best shed material or perhaps whether there are other kinds of garden buildings you should consider.
Easy on the eye
Compared to plastic and metal sheds that have come onto the market in more modern times, wooden sheds still have their places as – in our opinion – the most aesthetically pleasing sheds available today. Nothing says a garden where you can enjoy peace and tranquillity than a wood shed surrounded by an assortment of flowers and plants, bringing nature right to your home.
Wood sheds appeal to the traditional homeowners that are looking for a subtle way to store their garden equipment. However, they also fit right in with gardens of the modern day with the ability to have large glass windows and doors, making them a perfect place to relax or work.
Easily customisable
As well as having multiple uses, such as being used as a tool shed or wooden summer house depending on size, wooden sheds can also be made to fit any garden's look. With the ability to easily paint wood with multiple coats, you have the freedom to switch up the shade of your shed whenever you see fit, perhaps every couple of years when you feel your fencing needs a new coat of paint.
If you are looking to change the colour of a plastic or metal shed to fit the new design direction of your garden, you will be looking to fork out for a whole new shed entirely, as painting these materials will essentially ruin the look of your shed.
We're not going to kid you here and tell you that plastic and metal sheds aren't durable, when in fact they are. All kinds of sheds are built to last and to withstand the outside elements, which can be especially unpredictable in the UK! However, if you are looking to buy one of our wooden sheds for sale based off their appearance, then you'll be glad to know that they are a very strong and durable solution that will be a fixture in your garden setting for many years to come.
As long as they are built properly and from a high-quality shed supplier – like the team at Solid Sheds – then your shed will be in safe hands for the duration of its lifespan. It will not suffer from rotting if the wood becomes damp, giving you peace of mind that your shed will be able to brave the elements and prove a smart investment.
Contact us
So would you like to purchase a wooden shed after reading this blog? If so, be sure to browse through our full, extensive range of sheds today. We're sure you will find one you like!
If you have any enquiries about our products, feel free to get in touch with our shed experts. We are available to contact directly via telephone on 01695 51442 or fill out our online form. You can also visit our sheds in person by visiting your nearest branch now.

One of the most versatile ingredients in cannabis is cannabutter, which can be used for everything from cooking to topicals. One may create with this powerful substance, from the traditional "special brownie" to a ready-to-go snack or dinner that would put Rachael Ray's dishes to shame.
And, contrary to what some people may think, it doesn't even have to be butter! Cannabinoids are fat-soluble and when cooked on a surface they will dissolve into the fats in the food more so than water. Сannabutter can be made from oils, such as olive, canola, or coconut oil. Whereas the last of those three is higher in fats and also works well for desserts (they're all vegan).
Typically, it is not a quick process. After cooking on the stove for several hours until it is done, one must keep an eye on it while infusing the flavors into the liquid. A satisfying alternative to cooking in a stove-top pan is the crockpot! Your butter will still need a little attention, but this helpful device simplifies the process.
How to Make Crockpot Cannabutter
The first thing you will need to plan for? Ingredients. Save your best flowers for smoking, while using the milder options for things like trimming and seasoning. You may also need to decide whether you will use butter or oil. Immediately double-check to make sure you have everything necessary.
The magic process that turns THCa to THC: Decarboxylation is the transformation of the acidic versions of cannabis into their more well-known forms – usually done when smoking a flower with a lighter. Getting THC, which causes psychoactive effects, requires transforming THCa into it via an oven.
To prevent the herb from sticking to the pan, preheat your oven to 245 degrees Fahrenheit and place cannabis buds on a cookie sheet. Allow the tray to bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes, shaking every ten minutes to ensure even heating.
Grind the bud by using a manual or wheel grinder. As a substitute for coffee beans, resist the urge to use your coffee grinder unless you want plant material in your cannabutter. (It will also lead to a more significant color change if an electric grinder is used and can help with digestion.)
Crockpot it up. The crockpot should be set to low or about 160 degrees. It shouldn't be hotter than 200 degrees, which increases the risk of burning. To best enjoy your food, add a bit of marijuana in the butter or oil then add water to prevent burning. Leave the rice to stand, stirring occasionally, for around three hours. Once the clay is dry, allow it to cool which will separate any fats remaining on the top.
Line a strainer with cheesecloth, pour the good stuff into it and allow the wine to strain for up to an hour. If the butter has solidified on top, you can skip this step. If not, separate fats with plant material through a cheesecloth-lined funnel. Remove the cheesecloth before squeezing the liquid out. That can lead to more plant material in the final product.
Try not to hold your breath and inhale when you spray. It's important to test the strength of your cannabutter before cooking if you want to avoid a common edibles disaster. To find the right dose, try a small amount of kratom first and watch for how you feel in two hours. Use more or less to achieve your desired level.
To avoid overeating, be mindful of the portion sizes you cook foods when cooking for friends.
Then you're ready to enjoy. Whether you want to have a cannabis party or just have some alone time, this crockpot cannabutter recipe can help.
Cannabutter Slow Cooker Recipe
Make in either a Crock-Pot brand of the slow cooker or an equivalent type, such as a Murphy name.
Slow cookers or crock pots are a convenient way to make cannabis butter if you're already doing other things at home. Making cannabutter is an effective way to multi-task and still make cannabis medication when you need it. This is probably the reason why it's so common for people to make cannabutter at home.
Slow cookers are a great way to make cannabutter, as you can put your ingredients in and let them cook for hours before you need it. The cooking time for this recipe is 8 to 12 hours.
If you're cooking for your family while in bed, please make sure that you and your family are safe at all times.
Tools Needed
- Crock-Pot
- Measuring Cup
- Plastic spatula
- Airtight container
- 1 Ounce of the pot. This can be the stems and leaf as well as any flower that you are going to use.
- 3 cups of water
- 500g or 2 sticks of unsalted butter
- Add all the ingredients into a crockpot before turning it on. Use low or medium temperature for 8 hours to 12 hours.
- When finished cooking, strain using a metal coffee filter and into a measuring cup. The paper filters are not recommended because the straining needed causes them to rip easily so it's best to start with metal as well.
- After the butter has melted, scrape all sides of the crockpot and strainer to get as much of it into your liquid.
- To make ice cream, you will need a measuring cup with butter and water. Put the mix in the freezer for 25 minutes.
- Pour out the excess water from the bowl.
- Transfer any scrap butter to a container and refrigerate to save for later use.
Tip: When your leftover tea leaves are strained and the butter is melted, use it as fertilizer for the garden bed. You can also spread it on top of a pile of compost materials if you don't have enough garden beds.

GamesBeat Next 2023
Join the GamesBeat community in San Francisco this October 24-25. You'll hear from the brightest minds within the gaming industry on latest developments and their take on the future of gaming.
10. Eco
Jeffrey Grubb, GamesBeat PC gaming editor:
"Eco made me realize that games are actually crucial for understanding our relationship to all kinds of natural and man-made systems. The thing that gives me chills is that I think it is only in games that we can play with economic systems. And I walked away from my experience in Eco feeling like I learned so much even though we had no instructor. No one was connecting the dots for us. We simply learned through play."
9. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Mike Minotti, GamesBeat reviews editor:
"I love Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, and Ultimate is better in almost every way. The roster is bigger, the single-player offerings are much stronger, and it's prettier. And the game felt comfortable both on the TV (with a GameCube or Pro Controller) or in portable mode. I didn't try playing the game with a single Joy-Con, because that sounds terrible (using a single Joy-Con has never felt comfortable for any game)."
8. Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire
Jason Wilson, GamesBeat managing editor:
"Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire puts the gods, warts and all, at the forefront of the story, and at this point, it shines when it focuses on your interactions with these powerful-but-flawed beings. When Obsidian is showing you Eora, filling in gaps from its first game and introducing new characters, locations, and traditions, you feel a vibrancy lacking in its previous game, Tyranny (which is, to be fair, a game about evil winning over good)."
7. Astro Bot: Rescue Mission
Jeremy Horwitz, VentureBeat editor:
"When virtual reality is at its absolute best, it's magical — a chance to put on glasses that instantly transport you to another world. That's why so many VR games use a first-person perspective to let you look through your character's eyes. But some developers are instead using VR to make third-person games more compelling. That's what Sony's Japan Studio is doing with Astro Bot: Rescue Mission for PlayStation VR, which brings all of Sony's VR experience to bear on a Super Mario Odyssey-style 3D platforming experience."
6. Red Dead Redemption 2
Dean Takahashi, GamesBeat lead writer:
"But make no mistake: Red Dead Redemption 2 is a masterpiece. I see these flaws as small distractions, but they don't kill my enthusiasm for the game. Those bugs seem like nitpicking against scenes like the one in the video above, as Arthur rides to the sound of a beautiful song."
5. God of War
"This new God of War takes a lot of risks. It trades blind rage and revenge for a story about a troubled father/son relationship. It ditches fast, combo-based violence for something more methodical. It's a departure from everything that once was God of War. But almost all of these risks pay off. God of War is an exhilarating, beautiful action game that turns one of PlayStation's biggest icons into a character you can care about."
4. Marvel's Spider-Man
"Marvel's Spider-Man is the best superhero game since Batman: Arkham Asylum. The swinging, combat, and New York City itself come together to create a Spider-Man experience that is exciting and faithful to the character. If you've ever been a fan of Spidey, you need to check out his newest digital adventure. This is now the best Spider-Man game, taking the crown from Spider-Man 2. It is also one of the PlayStation 4's best exclusives and one of the best super hero games ever."
3. Battletech
Rowan Kaiser, PC gaming guest post editor:
"There's a consistent 'punching above its weight' feeling to Battletech that I keep finding myself drawn to. At a superficial glance it doesn't seem to be doing anything special, but every time I play it or talk about it, I find myself wanting to go deeper. If that keeps it, it could be an instant winner when it's released."
2. Dead Cells
"Dead Cells is a masterpiece. It is the marriage and apotheosis of decades of Metroidvania design and the surging popularity of difficult Roguelike games. Dead Cells is exquisite. It looks phenomenal, plays like a dream, and makes you want to keep coming back even when you fail."
1. Celeste
"Celeste is the total package. It is a tight platformer that feel excellent. It has great writing, characters, and art. And then it has this great sense of progression where it propels you through ever more difficult challenges until you reach the top of the mountain."
