BlockChain is growing list of records or blocks which are linked with encrypted hash of previous blocks. A blockchain is a timestamp series of transaction block attached to one by one in a cryptographic chain.
What is special about Blockchain?
There is no central authority or owner of BlockChain. BlockChain is a shared and open to all, but still it is transparent and secure.
There is no transaction cost of blockchain.
After initiate transaction by Person A by creating single block of transaction, it is verified by millions of computers distributed around the net. After verification this block is added to the chain and stored on the net. Record added on the net has unique record.
BlockChain Information are stored in continuous reconciled database and it is the biggest benefit to save from hacker.
BlockChain is Transparent
One of the misunderstood concept of BlockChain is transparent. Person's identity is hiddent but he is known by his public address. So if Person A's public identity is "CE4C23FF-66F5-4887-A167-3F880A7AC8DA" then in the transaction report you can see "CE4C23FF-66F5-4887-A167-3F880A7AC8DA" sent 1 bitcoin to "1081283E-788E-451A-86B3-80090B9A5952" with actual timeStamp. So transaction details is transparent but the real identity attached with person is not known.
BlockChain is Immutable
Once something is added in BlockChain it can not be modified or tampered. This is the biggest benefit of blockchain.
Bicoin is using SHA-256 (Secure Hashing Algorithm) which has fixed length of encrypted Hash values. For any length of word the output would be fixed 256 bit of length. SHA-256 is a one-way encryption technique where you can not decrypt the Hash value to plain text.

In 1969 I was secretary to Robert B. Choate, an antihunger crusader. He and the Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Health, led by George McGovern and Ted Kennedy, expanded food stamp eligibility and nutrition labeling and made sure the public was aware that America was "a nation of nutritional illiterates."
In September we attended a meeting of publishers and other opinion leaders in New York. Being so close, I had to join the demonstration at the Miss America Pageant and support my sisters in the cause of women's liberation. It was the year after the bra burnings of 1968. What would happen? I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
I arrived at the boardwalk in my office attire, a sleeveless navy blue linen minidress with a starched white collar, carrying my tapestry attache case. I asked a policeman if he'd keep an eye on it for me and sat down to enjoy the show.
Today I looked online for photos from that day. Here's what I found. Many thanks to Jo Freeman of http://www.jofreeman.com/ for capturing the event and, amazingly, including me in one of the pictures.
One of my favorite historical documents is the restraining order handed to each demonstrator as we got off the bus. The lawyers were ready for the "irreparable harm and damage" to the pageant that would result from the "alleged contemplated illegal activities" of the demonstrators. By God, this piece of paper was going to prevent us from
burning material and clothing in public, emitting noxious odors, and exploding, lighting and distributing any device causing or calculated to cause emission of such odors and gases [and from] using loud and/or offensive language either orally or in writing.
I don't remember what my sisters did in 1968 that emitted noxious odors, but the pageant people sure didn't want us to do it again. This is the document that was supposed to reduce us to helplessness.

The US Money Reserve Helps People To Make Wise Purchases
Many people get excited over the thought of buying some gold for themselves, and they can go to the US Money Reserve when they want to do that, and ask it to help them to make the best purchases. They can count on it to set them up with the kind of gold that they are hoping to buy, and they can know that they will be making a wise purchase when they go through it. Just like with any other kind of business, it is good to know that the place where one is going to to buy gold or other precious metals is experienced and trustworthy. One will not want to go to just anyone to purchase something of value, and when one wants to know that they will be making a wise investment they will go to talk with the US Money Reserve about what they should be buying.

Are you a big fan of the Orlando Toyota Yaris iA but looking for something a little bit sleeker than the current hatchback model? Meet the new 2017 Toyota Yaris iA! This sophisticated sedan is perfect for taking on the upcoming holiday season, and we're ready to get you behind the wheel and help you hit the road. Let's talk more about this brand-new Toyota and what it's bringing to the table with its 2017 release!
Take the 2017 Toyota Yaris iA home for the holidays!
Did you know that the 2017 Toyota Yaris iA is actually the Scion iA but rebranded? The Scion brand was retired this year, but this efficient sedan was too good to let slip to the wayside so Toyota decided to absorb it into their brand and amp things up a little before rebranding it. They definitely didn't disappoint – this Orlando Toyota sedan is back and better than ever with upgrades, improvements, and a performance that's so good, you'll have to see it to believe it!
But what makes this new Orlando sedan a perfect solution for the hectic holiday season? Here are some of the highlights we think you'll appreciate most when you get behind the wheel to tackle the last few months of 2016!
Fuel efficiency: Did you know that this new Toyota sedan gets 32 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway? That means you'll save big bucks when it comes time to fill up at the gas pump (which also means you'll have tons of money left over for stocking stuffers). Plus, you're going green without even trying every time you get behind the wheel by cutting down on your fuel consumption. Why not kick off a New Year's resolution early?
Technology: Staying connected helps to ensure that your drive time is a little less stressful, and you know how busy the roads can be with holiday shoppers and travelers. Luckily, this 2017 Toyota is decked out with features like a backup camera for busy parking lots, remote keyless entry with push button start so you've got more hands for juggling presents, convenient audio controls on the steering wheel so you can control your Christmas carols safely, and Bluetooth wireless streaming for phone calls. It doesn't get much easier than that!
Stay safe, connected, and efficient this holiday season with this Orlando Toyota!
Safety: You definitely want safety on your side during the holidays (and the rest of the year!) with all the extra travelers on the road. The new Toyota Yaris iA comes with unbelievable safety technology like a low-speed pre-collision system, 3-point seat belts for all seating positions, the LATCH system for booster and car seats, a first aid kit, a tire pressure monitoring system, and the Active Safety System, which includes elements like traction control, anti-lock brakes, and brake override system!
Ready to get behind the wheel of the 2017 Toyota Yaris iA? Come on down to Toyota of Orlando (3575 Vineland Road) or Toyota of Clermont (16851 State Road 50) today and take a test drive… Halloween and the kickoff of the holiday season are just around the corner!

text: Just Posted: Inon D-2000 Review by James Wiseman Monday, February 21st, 2005 Article Summary: At DEMA 2004 here in Houston, Mark Rupert from Inon America took a few minutes to explain the functions of their new D-2000 Strobe. This is an optically-triggered only strobe, meaning there is no place to connect an electronic sync cord. It is specifically targetted at the underwater consumer camera photographer using a Canon, Olympus, or Nikon OEM housing, and wanting automatic flash exposure control. Inon Japan leant Wetpixel some equipment to review and test, as there is a lot of interest in the D-2000 and many questions about how well it works.

The Circle of Life
While the circle of life has led me to fall behind on posting while cleaning the apartment and taking a brief vacation, it also has led to a new hope. And that hope is for comedy gold.

Funny ha-ha indeed. Yet, isn't it notable that the video united the disparate members of my household (Hubby, the staunch Republican and myself, the bleeding-heart liberal Democrat) in laughter? Isn't that just more of the magic that is Barack Obama? :D

The common notion among people in the disability sector is that 'capacity' or 'legal capacity' is something that only people of 'unsound mind' need to worry about. When the Legal Review team of National Disability Network and Disabled Rights Group, which is drafting the Parallel Report on C.R.P.D. implementation in India, undertook a review of some 2000 odd national laws, the findings were an eye-opener. Bhargavi Davar, Co-Chair of National Alliance on Access to Justice for Persons Living with Mental Illness (N.A.A.J.M.I.), and a member of the Legal Review team writes about the 150 odd laws that discriminate against not only people of 'unsound mind' but also those with 'physical and mental defect', 'incapacity', 'physical and mental infirmity', 'deaf mute', 'blind', 'contagious leprosy', 'leprosy cured', 'epilepsy' and many more.
There are over 2000 national laws in the country relating to a variety of issues, ranging from the Army, Navy, Air Force, Border Security Forces, police to family laws, criminal laws, laws relating to delivery of public services, taxation laws, banking and banking regulation laws, laws relating to the social justice system such as the Safai Karmachari Act, and laws relating to political participation.
Scanning these laws at a preliminary level using 'search and find' function for words such as 'unsound mind', 'defect', 'infirmity', 'incapacity', etc. proved to be a very useful exercise. It was a quick and simplistic exercise and no doubt, a more profound legal analysis is possible and required.
The Legal Review team of National Disability Network (N.D.N.) and Disabled Rights Group (D.R.G) drafting the Parallel Report on C.R.P.D. implementation in India, was shocked to find the total discrimination against all persons with disabilities on grounds of legal incapacity found in over 150 laws.
When we started the review, our expectation was that we would find many laws that would discredit persons of 'unsound mind' from having full legal capacity. While it is true that a larger number of laws (say 60 percent) do apply solely to persons of 'unsound mind' or to both 'lunatics' and 'idiots', a not so small number of laws (say 40 percent) apply not only to such persons, but to a wider range of people with disabilities. For example, the words, 'physical and mental defect', 'incapacity', 'physical and mental infirmity', 'deaf mute', 'blind', 'contagious leprosy', 'leprosy cured', 'epilepsy' are found pervasively in the laws in the context of legal incapacity. More general categories of 'incapable due to serious illness', 'found unfit to act by a competent court', etc. are also found.
Many of these laws have their origins in the colonial period, and have gone through 'serial amendments' in the post Independence period. The honourable drafters of the Constitution and the legal experts who amended various laws many times over following the independence of the Indian State from the British Empire, forgot to ever revise the provisions relating to people with disabilities. As a result, a hard core of provisions (and legal perversions exist) within nearly every class of laws, which contain highly discriminatory, even inflammatory allegations and assumptions regarding a variety of disabilities. 'Lunatic', 'idiot' and 'deaf mute' are of course most pervasively found. I was curious to know why the banking sector targeted the blind until I found that in the banking laws, the exclusion is very broad based, including 'physical and mental infirmity' in general terms. A large part of the family laws are about people of 'unsound mind'.
The laws relating to the military, security and other enforcement laws (such as the Coast Guard Act) deny a person with disability the capacity to act, to stand trial, to defend oneself, to explain or appeal, to give consent to treatment, to give consent to institutionalisation / treatment, etc. These laws provide for a pathway from the services directly into a mental institution or handing over to relatives on condition that the person is not dangerous to self or others.
References to the Lunacy Act, which was replaced by the Mental Health Act of 1987, are still found. Provisions relating to persons with disabilities are 'harmonised' with the Code of Criminal Procedure (Cr.P.C.) or other penal laws, and not with any rights / social justice laws, disability laws or other progressive laws.
Property related matters of a 'lunatic' are settled by a separate law in the Army and the Air Force. Person of 'unsound mind' is to be treated as 'dead person' from the day unsoundness is ascertained. I have found this to be the most degraded and inexplicable representation of people with psychosocial disabilities within law.
Criminal laws deny certain disabilities the capacity to defend, stand trial, be witness, and give consent. Liberal use is made of words like 'idiot' and 'unsound mind'. For the first time in law, in a post- C.R.P.D. amendment of the Cr.P.C., a psychiatrist or clinical psychologist is referred to in determining 'unsound mind'. The amendment is interesting as evidence of perversion of law through the ages, because it is bringing together anachronistic provisions of laws made at different times (Lunacy Act, Mental Health Act) with different authorities and procedures, resulting in some ludicrous and laughable legal provisions (for example. 'a person of idiot', 'accused to be of idiot', etc.). Here the psychiatrist and psychologist are called upon 'to declare a person of idiot is suffering from unsoundness of mind'. The legal determination mandated in the amendment is that a 'person of idiot' found to be of 'unsound mind' is found to be incapable.
In another provision, the amendment says that trial may resume after 'a person has ceased to be of idiot'. Mental retardation appears as a separate category distinct from 'person of idiot', or 'of suffering from unsoundness of mind', again referring to psychologist or psychiatrist for the determination. I cannot over emphasise the shift in this law, of the over arching empowerment of mental health professionals in determination of disability and consequences thereof.
Some laws have not been looked at, such as Police Act, Beggars' Home Act, Panchayati Raj Act, etc. These are State laws, however, they apply across many, if not most, States with local application through rules.
Family laws deny the capacity to be married, stay married, adopt, inherit, terminate a pregnancy, choose a pregnancy, etc. based on disability. Some of these laws have guardianship provisions. Some laws are applicable only to those of 'unsound mind' while others include 'leprosy' or 'contagious leprosy', and 'physical and mental defect', 'severe handicap', etc.
Conditions are placed for persons with disabilities on the capacity to make a will. A person who is blind or deaf or dumb can make a will provided they can understand what they are doing. A 'lunatic' cannot probate or administer a will. Various amendments particularly to the marriage and divorce laws show the same perversions and paradoxes of amendment as in the last set of criminal laws: old phrases mixed with new.
Termination of pregnancy laws directly contradict various provisions of 'unsound mind' by illustratively noting the 'mental anguish' caused by bearing a child with disability. Why does the law recognise 'mental anguish' in some places, and victimises 'unsound mind' in other places? For example, the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act talks about a person with unsoundness of mind not having capacity in one place; and the same law also talks about continuation of pregnancy that could cause grave risk to physical and 'mental health' in another place. Such a mother is not considered to be of unsound mind, rather is seen as being in 'mental anguish'.
The Hindu Inheritance ('Removal of Disabilities') Act of 1928 has a curious subtitle, reminiscent of 'sterilisation of the fittest', which was in practice at the time this Act was promulgated in the late colonial period.
Most of Public Services Acts place an incapacity bar on people with disabilities on membership, being a part of a council or committee or advisory, employment opportunities, reasonable accommodation and political participation. Services described are archaic.
The Municipal Acts of nearly all States provide for the setting up of shelters and asylums for the 'deaf and dumb', the 'insane', etc. Likewise, The Cantonment Acts provide archaic custodial provisions for the 'disabled', the poor and the destitute. Capacity for political participation is also in question in the Cantonment Acts for people of 'unsound mind'. Several Acts have general clauses of exclusion (such as 'proven to be incapable'), disability linked exclusions ('physically or mentally incapable') and mental disabilities ('idiot' or 'of unsound mind'). Exclusions are mainly in performing a professional job in senior position, being elected Board Member, being elected or nominated a member of any other statutory body of the institution, holding any public office or having voting rights.
In summary, when going over these laws, I had the overwhelming experience of sitting in another place in another time, two hundred years back, and watching a line of people walk by, to the 'nowhere land' of legal incapacity: the idiots, the lunatics, the deaf mute, the deaf and dumb, the physically and mentally defected, the leprosy cured and those still contagious. As a community of people struggling for our rights, we face the utter perversions in law wrought by colonialism, and carried forward unmindfully into present times. This shows how unglamorous disability law was / is for the legal reformers, and the legal practitioners.

New Staff and Patient Experience | Texas Health
A New Staff and Patient Experience
How Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Alliance Uses Technology to Improve Operational Efficiency and Patient Satisfaction
Even before Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Alliance first opened its doors, its real-time location system (RTLS) was up and running. As part of Texas Health Resources, this new Fort Worth facility was slated as a testing ground for the rest of the Texas Health Resources (THR) system, serving as a showcase of technology and best practices.
"We knew that to improve the experience for patients, family members, caregivers, and physicians, we needed to take advantage of automatically collected location data while working to eliminate manual data entry," said Winjie Miao, President of Texas Health Alliance. "This would help give staff more time at patients' bedside, streamline hand-offs between departments, and provide us with more reliable, actionable data."
The operational intelligence platform from Intelligent InSites automatically collects and processes data, and then delivers it to the right people at the right time to speed decisions, prevent delays, and reduce costs.
"Using the InSites RTLS solution for asset tracking and patient flow gives us access to an enormous amount of location and status data, so our priority was to avoid being data rich but information poor," explains Clint Abernathy, Professional Services Officer at Texas Health Alliance. "That is why we chose a solution that includes easy-to-use reporting and enterprise-grade analytics."
With location-based intelligence, staff can quickly locate medical equipment, giving them more time to spend delivering quality care. Patients' family members and friends receive automated messages to keep them informed of progress of their loved-ones while in the hospital, providing a better family and patient experience. Safety and satisfaction also are significantly increased because staff can see at a glance each patient's location and how long they've been there. This capability prevents patients from getting lost in the hospital or waiting too long to be seen.
In addition, the InSites solution helps Texas Health Alliance better manage potential exposure to infectious illnesses. Using InSites, staff can quickly view an accurate list of all staff members, patients, and medical equipment that have been within the vicinity of an infectious person.
The leadership team at Texas Health Alliance also formed a new Mission Control team whose charter is to leverage the InSites solution to analyze the type of medical asset, and when and where it is being used, so they can predict what will be needed and get it to the caregiver before it's even requested. This allows them to optimize the utilization of existing medical equipment. Additionally, it maximizes caregivers' value-added time with patients and allows nurses to practice at the top of their license.
"What is exciting about using InSites is that the more we use it, the more people and things we track – the more critical questions it is generating," says Kathi Cox, CPHIMS, Project Consultant at Texas Health Alliance. "The InSites solution not only helps us to methodically understand our processes but it also provides us a way to examine if the changes work. We see it as an indispensable tool for continuous process improvement."
Customer Profile
Opened in 2012, Texas Health Alliance is a 70-bed hospital in the Fort Worth area. Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Alliance is one of 103 facilities nationwide to be recognized for operating at the highest level of electronic medical record adoption. They have also earned the Stage 7 Award from Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Analytics as an "advanced patient record environment" and is the highest level of the Electronic Medical Record Adoption Model used to track progress at hospitals and health systems.

I'm A Celeb has dished out the eye candy already thanks to some early shower scenes on day one — but it isn't the ladies who've been getting their kits off.
No, it's the gentlemen of the camp who have thrown down the gauntlet by stripping and showering together, before any of the women even had a chance to.
Mind you, we reckon Carol Vorderman may be showering in the coming weeks, though Scarlett Moffatt has said she absolutely won't.
Larry Lamb, Joel Dommett, Wayne Bridge, Jordan Banjo and Adam Thomas took to the famous jungle showers and leapt into the water.
All the while the lads were boasting about their sexy physiques, but no one more so than Larry Lamb.

Seems like the tabloids won't need to dig very deep for any glam shots for tomorrow's paper.
It's a shame Larry's 30-pack wasn't enough to distract camp mates from his and Adam's ridiculous snoring on the first night, which many stars moaned about the next day.
Everyone except the Emmerdale star, that is.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Bart, Air Simpson Bart, RastaBart meet the many faces of Bart Simpson. In recent months, the Fox network's audacious animated antihero has appeared on bootlegged T-shirts in cities across the country. Along with all the authorized Simpsons merchandise an estimated $200 million worth of coffee mugs, posters, sweatshirts, and other paraphernalia America's top toon has spawned an entire underground industry, a multimillion-dollar marketplace specializing in ersatz Bart fashions.
The shirts come in dozens of styles, from patriotic (Bart as the Statue of Liberty) to partisan (''Bart Simpson for President''). Most, though, seem aimed at blacks: Bart with Nelson Mandela (''The dude's my hero,'' Bart says), Bart as Chicago Bulls star Michael Jordan (shattering a backboard with a slam dunk), Bart as rap star M.C. Hammer (''You can't this, Homeboy,'' the shirt reads).
''Rampant copyright infringement is the sincerest form of flattery,'' quipped Simpsons creator Matt Groening at a recent Los Angeles press conference. ''Some are funny, some of them are pure theft.'' But not everyone's amused: Several New York City vendors said Fox had sent lawyers to tell them to stop selling the shirts or face legal action. ''We don't condone the sale of bootleg T-shirts,'' a Fox spokesman declared. Some vendors are complying; others are offering a typical Bart-esque response: ''Don't have a cow, man!''

One day we will hire a real photographer to take our family photos, but for now....tripod & self-timer it is! We drove up the canyon last month after church one Sunday and snapped some pics. I thought they turned out pretty cute, and luckily we were able to get a good enough one of all 3 of us for our Christmas card. It all seemed so easy and painless and quick that I told Aaron we should take family photos once a month for every month in 2015. How fun would it be to see the progression?! I thought it was such a genius idea, but Aaron was not as thrilled about it as I was (Not surprisingly. Boys....), but we'll see. There's still a couple weeks left of January for me to get the tradition started, so wish me luck.
Anyways, these two boys of mine are my whole entire world and this life of mine is so beautiful to me all because they are in it. They'll never know how happy they make me. (Family photos make me all lovey dovey, I can't help it!)

We all have a soul. I believe it is what makes us who we are- our passions, desires and beliefs all intertwined into this being that lives inside of us. I also believe our spiritual souls can get just as unhealthy and sick as our physical bodies.It seems like such a simple concept, yet I didn't realize how sick my soul had become until recently. It's not like I had done anything bad (in the worldly sense) & my life was going really well (in the worldly sense).
This is the worst kind of toxic soul I could have, if you ask me, because I began to mistake my outward appearance to be the same as my inward appearance. Over time my heart had pushed out God's promises and power and had become full of anxiety and judgement and fear.
I realize that this is bound to happen- I mean, I am a silly, impressionable human who lives in a world that is trying to bombard my heart with anything but the truth! But just like my physical body has to be cleansed daily- my spirit has to be cleaned out too. And that was something I had forgotten to do in the midst of attempting to keep my life under control.
So when I would spend time with God, I felt so cluttered & distant from Him. I couldn't get my mind to focus or I would get so caught up in trying to have this "perfect" meeting with Him that I would forget the whole purpose of just laying at His feet & resting in Him. I would pray and get way off track (like, "What should I have for lunch?" off track!). I would procrastinate doing my morning devotional until I only had a few seconds to squeeze it in or else I'd be late to wherever I was running off to.
Basically, I was already so full of the toxic stuff that I had no room for His fruit to grow in my heart. Instead, I was trying to survive on my own, self-produced (& extremely expired!) fruit.
That's a weird place to be in- especially when you aren't truly aware of it. You feel anxious and discontent & like you're always missing something. Thank goodness He opened my eyes to what was happening inside me.
You know what my soul needed? A fruit smoothie* made by the true Smoothie King!
All of them! Blended up together into fresh, juicy spirit-filled goodness. My soul needed a detox. So so so badly. It needed to flush out the worldly toxins & darkness- it needed a spiritual fruit smoothie.
So (thankfully!) that's what God has been pouring over my heart & soul for these past few weeks. And it tastes gooood.
Now, I'm not perfect & I most certainly do not embody a soul full of His "fruit of the spirit smoothie" all day, every day- but I am seeking Him to give me glimpses of how good a life full of His fruit is & having that kind of perspective changes everything.
When my soul is focused on His fruit- His love, His joy, His peace, His patience, His kindness, His goodness, His faithfulness, His gentleness & His self-control- everything is so much clearer.
I am so thankful that I have a Father who loves me enough to clean up my messy soul & treats me to the sweetest fruit smoothie this world has ever known.
Being His daughter is always the yummiest & most satisfying adventure for my soul.
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law."-Galatians 5:22-23
*Shout out to Jacelyn & all of my crazy AMAZING sixth grade ladies for coming up with this "fruit smoothie" revelation during small group discussion! Y'all remind me each week how simple God's love is & how sweet life is when we choose to follow Jesus! I love you girls so super much!

- Speak to me from the side
- Speak to me from the back
- Speak to me with your back to me
- Speak to me from another room
- Speak to me in the same room, but some distance from me
- Shout at me: speaking loudly does not necessarily make it easier for me to hear you and it upsets me enormously if I am shouted at
- Keep repeating something: if I have not heard it the first time in good conditions, it means that whatever words are being used are particularly hard for me to hear. JUST REPHRASE IT and hopefully I will then pick it up. Example, if I can't hear 'Monday' then say 'first day of the week'!
- Speak softly; just ENUNCIATE YOUR WORDS CLEARLY
- Speak too quickly
- GET IMPATIENT WITH ME: I am deaf, not stupid, and can't help it. It is a dreadful, isolating and heartbreaking condition so be kind!
- Speak to me standing in front of me, close by
- Speak clearly and relatively slowly
- Remember my good side, if there is one
- Remember that in noisy situations such as shops, crowds, malls, restaurants, car, my hearing is even worse as the extraneous noise is magnified greatly by the hearing aids
- Remember that if I don't respond, it is just that I have not heard what is being said
- Tell me that you are changing the subject in a situation such as round the dining room table and I am trying to follow what people are saying. I often get lost if they go on to speak of something else
- Text rather than calling on the cell phone – it is often difficult if not impossible to hear people speaking on the cell.

Slow cookers, Crock-Pots and Instant Pots are beloved by millions of home cooks because they take a lot of guesswork out of the cooking process.
But sometimes, taking a shortcut with a recipe isn't the best way to make a meal. Take frozen chicken, for example. Many cooks don't think twice about tossing a few frozen chicken breasts into a slow cooker — and the internet is filled with plenty of recipes that list frozen poultry as an ingredient.
But according to the United States Department of Agriculture, this common practice really isn't a good idea.
"Always thaw meat or poultry before putting it into a slow cooker," reads the slow cooker and food safety guidelines from the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service. If this is news to you, you're not alone. Not all of our favorite slow cookers come with these same warning labels on them.
When asked about using frozen chicken in slow cookers, a representative for Crock-Pot told TODAY Food via email, "You can cook frozen meat in any Crock-Pot brand product, but suggested cook time may need to be increased." The company also recommends using a meat thermometer to ensure that the internal temperature of the chicken is "well above" 165 degrees before consumption. The rep added, "We recommend that you refer to your product's instruction manual as well for specific instructions and guidance."
The instruction manual for Crock-Pot's 3.5-quart slow cooker not only advises increasing the cooking time when using frozen chicken, but also recommends adding 1 cup of warm liquid to "act as a cushion to prevent sudden temperature changes."
But what about other countertop cooking devices?
Instant Pot, the headline-making pressure cooking device with a cult-like following, says on its website that there's no need to defrost frozen food prior to cooking it. Instant Pot doesn't specifically call out frozen chicken but on its website the company says, "Frozen food will prolong the pre-heating time and cooking time depending on the amount of food. To ensure to have your meal ready on time it is important to plan accordingly."
When asked specifically about whether it's OK to cook frozen chicken in an Instant Pot, a representative from the company's customer service team told TODAY Food the practice is definitely safe and advised home cooks to simply tack on an additional five minutes of cooking time.
Food experts also have differing opinions on whether it's OK to add frozen chicken right into any slow cooker. Some, like Tom Super, Senior Vice President of Communications at the National Chicken Council, think it's fine.
"It is entirely safe to prepare frozen chicken in a slow cooker or crockpot as long are you are familiar with the make and model of the device," Super told TODAY.
What is the USDA worried about?
It all comes down to the temperature and the timing.
"It is safe to cook a frozen chicken in a slow cooker," Quin Patton, a food scientist formerly with PepsiCo, told TODAY. "You just need to make sure the internal temperature gets up to 165 degrees at some point during the cooking process." The USDA confirms that 165 degrees is the minimum internal temperature for safely cooking poultry. (Ground beef, pork, lamb and veal need to reach 160 degrees.) Meat thermometers are easy to find, with many highly rated models starting at just $11.
While frozen chicken can easily reach this temperature in any slow cooker, a problem arises if that poultry spends too much time thawing out in what the USDA calls the "danger zone."
The danger zone is defined as the temperature range between 40 degrees and 140 degrees where bacteria grow most rapidly. Pamela Ellgen, author of "The Healthy Slow Cooker Cookbook," cites salmonella and Staphylococcus aureus as common culprits and says they can even contaminate other foods cooked alongside the chicken in the slow cooker. While the bacteria will most likely be killed when the chicken reaches 165 degrees, the toxins they grow may be heat resistant. According to the USDA, these toxins, not the bacteria that produce them, cause food-borne illnesses.
TODAY asked the USDA Meat & Poultry's public hotline about the frequency of this happening and a spokesperson said it was not something they currently keep records of or receive reports on from consumers.
Make Martha Stewart's slow-cooker chicken 3 delicious waysAug. 30, 201705:54
Since some food experts think size matters, we also asked if it's true that cooking with smaller pieces of frozen chicken decreases the likelihood of food spending too much time in the so-called danger zone.
"We would probably need to bring in someone from the technical staff to verify that," said a USDA spokesperson in the media relations department. "Basically, our recommendations are a little bit more conservative just to make sure everyone is covered."
In this case, "everyone" refers to pregnant women, children, the elderly and those with compromised immune systems who are particularly susceptible to getting sick. For those clients, nutritionist Jackie Arnett Elnahar advises against eating frozen chicken prepared in a slow cooker. For her other clients, she recommends being cognizant about the size of the frozen chicken pieces.
"When you purchase the chicken, have them cleaned and cut into 2-inch cubes before putting in the freezer," Elnahar said. "Or place a larger piece of frozen chicken, 4 to 6 ounces, in the slow cooker at the highest setting and start to break it down after an hour so heat is distributed more evenly throughout."
While home cooks in a time crunch might be tempted to toss frozen chicken into a slow cooker, following the USDA guidelines will help cut down on the likelihood of harmful bacteria developing.
Whatever you do, just don't forget to unplug your slow cooker when you're done using it.

ATLANTA — U.S. life expectancy has hit another all-time high, rising to about 78 years and 2 months.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported the estimate Wednesday. It's for a baby born in 2009, and is based on nearly all the death certificates for that year.
About 2.4 million people died in the United States in 2009 — roughly 36,000 fewer than the year before.

More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.

- Insured Pays No Additional Premium through this Elected Life Insurance Policy Benefit
- Policyholder Can Convert Long-Term Option at Age 60
- There are No Premiums, once Approved
- Benefit Payout is Tax-Free
- Annuity Payments are for 48 to 60 Months
- If Illness Subsides, Plan Returns to Pre-Illness Status
On the road of life, there may be bumps and detours, but we can plan for them. As we live longer and maintain an active lifestyle, medical challenges may arise and knowing how to manage them is essential. Having a contingency plan that provides a sound financial outcome will guide us through the bumps and detours in our journey. Navy Mutual offers a Long-Term Care option as part of its Permanent 'Plus' life insurance policy. PLANNING When considering life insurance, more people are including a long-term care option in their life insurance plans. This growing trend is attributed to life longevity and healthcare needs that may occur later in life. Federal and state health care policy is causing reductions in hospitalization and nursing home admissions, so families are encountering tough decisions – both personal and financial. Careers, higher education, and other financial decisions can take a lower priority to the sometimes sudden and immediate decisions families face when caring for a chronically ill family member. Continuous healthcare that is provided for longer than one year is considered long-term. According to a recent study,* it is crucial to consider who will care for people with multiple chronic conditions who need substantial help with tasks that often are considered 'nursing' or 'medical' care. The author writes that … "the default is the family, ready or not." Younger and older policyholders are including a long-term care option with their life insurance plan so their families will be ready for the unexpected. The Long-Term Care Option from Navy Mutual is available to fit financial and lifestyle goals. Some of these may include independent living through personal care, assisted living, care management, support to family member caregivers, home modifications, hospice, and institutional care. LONG-TERM CARE A long-term care option pays for services for policyholders who cannot perform daily living activities such as bathing, eating, dressing, and others, because of chronic health conditions. This insurance also pays benefits when supervision is necessary because of cognitive conditions, such as Alzheimer's disease. Individual long-term care insurance accelerates the death benefits for policyholders with chronic conditions. The Navy Mutual Long-Term Care life insurance option provides coverage with the following features:

Zucchini pancakes… Think potato latkes… only without potato (starch) or flour (gluten)! I am really happy with this recipe… it's the first one I figured out all by myself, and it's really good! Perfect when you just need some comfort food.
So here's the recipe:
Gluten Free Zucchini Pancakes
3 medium zucchinis
1 tsp. sea salt
3 eggs
1/2 cup pecan flour (I use a coffee grinder to grind pecans)
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (grate yourself… pre-grated cheese is usually covered in flour to keep from sticking!)
1/4 cup minced onion
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. sea salt
First, shred the zucchini… either with a cheese grater or with a cuisinart. Put into a bowl with 1 tsp. of salt mix and let sit for 30 mins.
Mix eggs in a bowl and add ground pecans, grated cheese, onion, oil, salt, and baking soda.
After zucchini has sat for 30 minutes, squish out all the water/juice. I just take handfuls and squish it out over the sink. It is very important that most of the juices are removed before cooking or the batter will be too soft.
Add zucchini to the batter… and now you're ready to cook! Fry with a little butter on Med-Low heat. It helps if the pan is well heated before putting batter on it. Take a forkful of batter per pancake and flatten it out in the pan and cook 4-5 mins.
Let these cook for a real 4-5 minutes per side. They are very delicate little things, so you need to wait before flipping them over or they will be too soft and you'll end up with a zucchini scramble instead of pancakes!
I serve mine with a little applesauce on the side. I eat these almost as fast as I can make them ~ THEY'RE SO GOOD!
I'm so thankful I can still eat nuts and hard cheeses ~ there are some people out there with much worse afflictions with regard to food allergies. It's something I would have never considered… until it happened to me. Amazing how much more a person can learn over time!

Welcome to the website of the Food Science & Technology Research Group in the School of Chemical Engineering at The University of New South Wales. The ARC Training Centre for Advanced Technologies in Food Manufacture has been recently established with the School.
Food Science & Technology is about using the tools and knowledge of many fundamental sciences to solve problems, improve processes, and develop innovations for food industry and consumers. Consider an everyday food product like bread: from the time the wheat is grown until it reaches the consumer in a formulated bakery product, it undergoes vast chemical, physical, nutritional, and sensory changes. Depending on their objective, a food scientist may need to draw on Chemistry to characterise changes in food composition, nutrition, and health-related traits; Rheology to understand changes in food texture, structure, and processing properties; Microbiology to identify risk points for spoilage and contamination, or conversely to control the manufacture of a fermented food; and Psychology to understand consumer attitudes, preferences, and behaviour towards foods.
The University of New South Wales is the first Australian university to offer a 4-year professional degree program (embedded honours) in Food Science & Technology, and has been the only national provider of specialist education in this discipline for over 60 years. We continue to lead the field in training the next generation of scientists and technologists for the Australian and international food industries, with four year degree programs offered in Food Science & Technology and Food Science & Nutrition.

Have you experienced wasting precious time looking for something? You know it's there somewhere, you just can't remember where exactly you have filed or kept it.
An organized home or workplace is key to productivity. Allow me to share a Japanese method of keeping their work area organized and tidy, 5S.
In a nutshell, 5S stands for 5 Japanese words as follows:
- Seiri (整理): Sorting. Refers to the practice of going through everything in the work area and keeping "only" the most important and essential items. The rest are either stored or discarded. This leads to fewer hazards and less clutter to interfere with productive work.
- Seiton (整頓): Simplifying. Focuses on the need for an orderly workplace. "Orderly" in this sense means arranging the files, fixtures, equipment and tools in an order that minimizes time wastage and promotes orderly work flow. This attempts to eliminate extra motion.
- Seisō (清掃): Sweeping, Systematic Cleaning, or Shining. Indicates the need to keep the workplace clean as well as neat.
- Seiketsu (清潔): Standardizing. This refers to standardized work process and practices.
- Shitsuke (躾): Sustaining. The first 4S will go to waste if the effort will not be sustained.
Sounds simple but the whole process needs determination and will power. In the workplace, before implementing this, support of top management should be sought, otherwise, the campaign will fail.
Based on my experience, the first S can be accomplished easily but entails 2-3 days of work. We normally do this before the Christmas/New Year vacations. Be prepared to have many boxes at your disposal and labels to distinguish files, items, tools, fixtures for scrapping, retention, and for active use.
The 2nd S calls for a little engineering, though we may not know it, an orderly filing system with corresponding label is already science. By placing what we needed the most near us and those that we seldom use a little farther in itself is engineering.
Speaking of labels, one company known for advocating digital printing is Frontier Label. They specialize on producing all types of and different use of labels. Since they have been in business since 2004, the company knew the peculiarity of digital printing vis-a-vis the requirements for a specific use.
While Frontier Label is known for her quality product and excellent customer support and assistance, they are known too for it's corporate social responsibility. Yes they do help build someone else's business, but as they also grow and succeed, the people in the community benefits from them. The company donates 10% of it's income to ministries that works on changing and building people's lives.
Find time to check this thriving company, at least online. Experience the warmth of their customer support, check the different labels they have. You can even get a price quote online. Visit their home at www.frontierlabel.com
The 3rd S calls for discipline as it entails consistency.
The 4th S entails (industrial) engineering intervention and initiatives because this ensures work flow and processes will generate more output in a given time.
The last S calls for human resource or people management initiatives.
In a highly competitive environment that we live in, getting more out of the limited time we have is value adding.

If you follow me on Snapchat, you may remember my recent foodie adventures exploring all around the Valley here in Phoenix! Adam and I had such a blast enjoying some amazing dining experiences, and cruising along between each destination from the Lexus CT 200h. Today, I'm sharing some of our absolute favorite foodie spots that we think are the most Snapchat-worthy here in Greater Phoenix!
West Valley
The West valley is known for, well, the abundant desert landscape. What better way to show off the beauty of the Arizona desert than Snapchat from a few places around the West valley!
The Vic Bar + Kitchen
If you're looking for a new place to scope out, be sure to head to the West valley to see Vic Bar + Kitchen. The views from their outdoor patio overlook a gorgeous spa and a beautifully well-kept desert landscape.
Inside the bar and during the day time, you'll find that lots of natural light fills the room to give you the best lighting to share your happy hour snacks on Snapchat!
North Valley
If you're lucky enough to be vacationing in Phoenix up North and staying at one of the many world-renowned resorts then you simply must explore the foodie scene!
Known for being one of the best wedding venues in the Greater Phoenix valley, Sassi also makes for an incredible foodie experience! With its sprawling views and gorgeously well-kept grounds, Sassi's venue look as beautiful as their food tastes.
Sassi is a must-try if you have a special place in your heart for Italian cuisine; they have truly the most authentic Italian food I have had ever since moving to Arizona nine years ago. With a romantic setting and incredibly Snapchat-worthy plates, your meal at Sassi will be one your Snapchat family will never forget!
East Valley
Staying at Arizona State University in Tempe? Visiting with family in Gilbert or Chandler? Make sure you head out to explore the East valley food scene and share your adventures on Snapchat!
Ice Cream Sammie's
If you're looking for a small town feel in the East Valley, be sure to head to Downtown Chandler and make a stop at Ice Cream Sammie's.
Ice Cream Sammie's is a wonderfully low-key foodie spot that will fill your Snapchat story with mouth-watering sweet treats! Located in a wonderful part of Downtown Chandler, you'll be able to share your adventures exploring the East valley as you walk over to Ice Cream Sammie's through the heart of downtown. My favorite part about Ice Cream Sammie's is that you can completely customize your ice cream sandwich--so go ahead, go crazy with it! And don't forget to Snapchat it!
Exploring the Valley in a Lexus CT 200h
Driving all around Phoenix was such a blast in the Lexus CT 200h! Adam and I have never owned a car that is this sleek or this pretty before, so we felt like total rockstars when we pulled up to all of these fun restaurants. Sharing our adventures on Snapchat was a total blast, too!

While fishing can be mysteriously unpredictable at times, our guests have reeled in some quality fish resulting in mouth-watering tastiness on the grill! The Spring Coho Salmon and King Salmon flurry didn't last as long as previous years, but the catch rates were great! From the beginning of May to the first week of June we had an overall range of 8-20 fish per trip. When the Coho are feeding like crazy, they make up the big numbers in quantity. When the spring Kings set in they provide the brute quality of the catch. Typically we start off the season fishing shallow water, but not the case this time around. We found ourselves fishing in 180 to 300 foot of water. We targeted fish in the top 40 foot as well as 150 foot down in the water column.
From June to July the fishing required deeper water fishing as well. Some days we were fishing as far out as 300 foot of water. Although the fishing had its inconsistencies from day to day, we tapped into the Kings, Coho and Steelhead. Lake Trout were more prevelant from mid-June through the end of our fishing season.
From July through September, the bigger adult King Salmon have started to trickle in. Along with the Kings(also called Chinook Salmon), bigger Steelhead and Lake Trout are striking our lines with the summer feeding. Lake Trout are always more prevalent in the middle summer months and there are some "hogs" out there ranging from 8-20 pounds.
Our highly revered Steelhead, also known as a hybrid of Rainbow Trout made their first run into shallower waters and into the river at the beginning of July. There were also a few King Salmon mixed in. We had a hard blowing East wind which "flipped" the lake and brought cold water near our shore line. Generally speaking, these fish prefer water temps ranging from 44 to 54 degree water. Cold water plus bait fish usually equals great fishing. Pier head fishing can be a bit chaotic with all of the other boats, but it is quite thrilling! They are still out there and we are still hooking up with these unpredictable, sky-rocketing, line peeling fish!
The season is not over yet and we expect to see even bigger King Salmon as they are always feeding and growing bigger. Steelhead and Lake Trout also await our tasty bait to strike upon. We love our fishing and we love our clients. We do our very best to provide an unforgettable experience and develop a personal relationship with everyone that steps aboard Big Bird Fishing Charters. Thanks to our regulars, thanks to our first-timers, and thanks to our future guests!
Fish on,

WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans, abandoning a key fiscal doctrine, agreed on Tuesday to move forward on a budget that would add to the federal deficit in order to pave the way for a $1.5 trillion tax cut over the next 10 years.
The Republican lawmakers, under mounting pressure to score a legislative win on taxes, say a tax cut of this magnitude will stimulate economic growth enough to offset any deficit impact.
Yet critics say a deficit-financed tax cut is at odds with longstanding Republican calls for fiscal discipline, including that tax cuts not add to the ballooning federal deficit. The federal debt topped $20 trillion earlier this month and is projected to grow by another $10 trillion over the next decade.
Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee, who considers himself a strict deficit hawk, said he remains deeply concerned about enacting tax cuts that add to the deficit. But he suggested that Republicans may not solely rely on traditional estimates of a bill's costs. Republicans have recently voiced concern that some estimates, including those from the Joint Committee on Taxation and the Congressional Budget Office, undervalue the effect of economic growth.
In announcing the agreement, Mr. Corker insisted that he was not casting away his concern about the debt.
"My support will be contingent on a final package that generates significant economic growth and does not worsen, but hopefully improves our fiscal situation," Mr. Corker said of the tax plan.
An agreement on the size of the tax cuts between Mr. Corker and Senator Patrick J. Toomey, a Pennsylvania Republican who has pushed for deeper tax cuts, helped seal the deal.
Passing a budget resolution is a crucial step for unlocking an arcane procedural tool that would allow Republicans to push a tax overhaul through the Senate with a simple majority and without the support of Democrats. Republicans have said they want a bill passed by the end of the year.
Even with Tuesday's deal, there is still a tough road ahead. The full Senate would need to vote on the budget and it would then need to align with the House version, which was voted out of committee earlier this year.
That may prove a tricky task, since House lawmakers may be more reluctant to enact tax cuts that would add to the deficit.
Still, any tax cut may wind up being temporary. Under existing Senate rules, Republicans can pass legislation with a simple majority only if the bill is not found to add to the deficit after a period of 10 years. That means all — or part — of the tax legislation could expire after a decade if official estimates of the costs do not align with Republicans' optimistic economic growth projections.
Republicans on the Senate Budget Committee have been wrestling for weeks over how big a tax cut is feasible and have been under pressure to reach a budget deal this month so that the work on tax legislation can officially begin in October. Still, while the Republicans may coalesce around a $1.5 trillion tax cut, the details of the actual plan remain fraught with lawmakers divided on some key issues such as the corporate tax rate and which, if any, deductions will be eliminated or scaled back.
Some details of the plan are expected to be released next week when the "Bix Six" working group of Republican congressional leaders and the White House economic team outline their policy framework.
President Trump said this month that the wealthiest Americans might end up paying a bit more in order to lower tax bills for the middle class. A White House official said on Tuesday that while the rich would not see a benefit from the tax plan no final decisions on top rates had been reached.
Republicans have been wary of sharing too many details given the intense lobbying crush that is expected once it becomes clear which industries stand to win or lose valuable provisions currently ingrained in the tax code. Those include things like the mortgage interest deduction and the deduction for charitable donations.
Financing tax cuts through deficit spending essentially means the government will borrow money to pay for tax reductions, rather than finding spending cuts to make up for the lost revenue.
Such a move would add to an already-hefty debt load that is only expected to grow as an aging population drives additional spending on retirement and health programs. The C.B.O. estimates that within 10 years, the federal debt will rise to its highest percentage of gross domestic product since just after World War II.
Republican lawmakers, who for years have complained about the country's deteriorating fiscal situation, are now turning to arcane budget arguments and making the case that tax cuts will unleash enough economic growth to compensate for lost revenue.
"Just going from 2 to 3 percent growth adds about $14 trillion of economic activity over a decade, $2 to $3 trillion of revenue to the federal government," said Senator Ron Johnson, Republican of Wisconsin and a member of the Budget Committee.
Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah, the Republican chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, said he continues to worry about the deficit. But he supports a budget that provides maximum flexibility to produce a tax overhaul that will move America forward.
"We're definitely in need of something that will stimulate the economy," Mr. Hatch said.
Whether a big tax cut can stimulate an economy already saddled with debt is at best uncertain and many experts think it will actually stifle growth.
At a hearing of the Senate Finance Committee on Tuesday, Donald Marron, director of economic policy initiatives at the Urban Institute, warned that deficit financed tax cuts could prove to be a drag on the economy.
"You should always think of these tax reform proposals as a race between the effects of the tax changes and the effect on the budget," Mr. Marron said. "There is a cost to deficit financing."
Anti-deficit groups say they plan to remind Republicans who railed against deficits during the Obama administration of their past criticisms.
"The president and members of Congress have spent years warning of our large and growing national debt and have said their goal was to pursue tax reform that doesn't make that debt worse," said Maya MacGuineas, president of the nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. "It is extremely disheartening that the Senate budget may be abandoning that commitment."
The tax cuts, she added, "could result in debt as large as the economy in just over a decade and take us into uncharted waters after that."
Michael A. Peterson, president of the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, said that the national debt topping $20 trillion should not be an invitation for Republicans in Congress to exacerbate a problem that they were elected to fix.
"Irresponsible tax reform is counterproductive and anti-growth because increasing the national debt hurts the economy. Tax reform should grow the economy, not the debt," Mr. Peterson said. "This proposal fails the test of fiscally responsible tax reform."
Wary of any tax legislation that benefits the rich, Democrats have taken a firm stance against Republican policies that would add to the deficit and said they will not support a bill that does not pay for itself.
Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon, the ranking Democrat on the finance committee, warned against a proposal that would provide a "sugar hit" of economic growth and a painful hangover in the coming years.
"We've seen this movie before," Mr. Wyden said, referring to previous Republican tax cuts. "It is a prescription for more trouble in the American economy in the long term."

House of Perpetual Illness
Since Sephone's in daycare she is of course in a constant state of getting sick, or getting better, or both at the same time in an endless cycle of malaise. Most recently she had the ocular mucus (aka eye boogers) real bad, to the point of being crusted shut some mornings. Our doctor wasn't particularly concerned and didn't even want to see her about it. I'm glad that's run its course, or so it seems. Meanwhile, Xy barfed the night before last, from food poisoning or a 24-hour stomach virus. Not sure which. As for me, I've got a wee little cough, which I think is strange. I usually get a cough in the latter stages of a cold, but so far I have no other symptoms except general fatigue. And the cough seems to be getting worse…

Welcome to daycare.
Time to do the one-income family thing? I've shown you the numbers: it's doable.
I have a colleague here with a one-yr-old (birthday last week) who has the same exact issues with their daycare. They are looking for a new one, but methinks this is the nature of the beast.

Decades after Germany's leading prosecutor was killed by the far-left Red Army Faction group, ex-member Verena Becker is on trial for her role. The case remains a loose end from the political violence of the 1970s.
Becker served time for other offenses and was pardoned
The trial began on Thursday of former far-left Red Army Faction (RAF) member Verena Becker over alleged involvement in the murder in 1977 of West Germany's most senior public prosecutor and two other people.
Prosecutor General Siegfried Buback, a bodyguard and a driver were killed when an unidentified individual riding on the back of a motorcycle fired bullets into their Mercedes in the southwestern city of Karlsruhe.
Buback and his bodyguards were killed in their Mercedes
A state court near Stuttgart is scheduled to hear the trial over a total of 17 days, lasting until December 21.
Becker is alleged to have been part of a group that "maliciously killed three people out of base motives," the court was told by prosecutor Walter Hemberger.
Although the 58-year-old is not accused of firing the shots, prosecutors claim that she helped in the planning of the murders.
The prosecution said that Becker was determined to carry out the intentions of RAF leader Andreas Baader, who was in prison at the time and had called for Buback's murder.
An unusually large number of spectators at the trial meant that its opening was delayed. The defense said Becker, who appeared wearing large sunglasses, would not be speaking in court.
Former RAF members Christian Klar and Knut Folkerts were convicted of involvement, but the identity of the actual perpetrator was never revealed.
Becker served 12 years of a life sentence in prison for attempted murder, after she was arrested in a shootout with police a month after Buback's murder. She was pardoned in 1989 by former German president Richard von Weizsaecker.
Case closed, reopened
Any involvement by Becker in the Buback killings was never proved and the case against her was closed in 1980.
Buback was seen as part of the establishment by the group
It was reopened in 2008 when newly developed forensic techniques revealed traces of DNA on a letter by the gang, claiming responsibility.
Becker was re-arrested in August 2009 and charged in April with conspiracy to murder. She could now face another life sentence, although it is believed the length of time she would actually serve would be reduced in view of the time she has already spent in prison.
Siegfried Buback's son, Michael Buback, said earlier this year he felt "extraordinarily relieved" by prosecutors' decision to pursue the case.
The proceedings are taking place at Stammheim outside Stuttgart, the same place where Becker was convicted in 1977.
The killings were among several operations by the RAF, sometimes called the Baader-Meinhof Gang, as its campaign against what it considered to be an oppressive West German capitalist state reached its peak.

A perfect escape from sweaty Tokyo summer days. Such a funny mix of art, fantasy and fandom, with a random steam train tribute this month.
I love the contrived fantasy of Marui's Shinjuku roof garden. It's a large space, with many formal French elements like precise mini-hedges, various arbors, lush borders, and various seating options. At twilight, the lights come on, and I love the mix of formal garden with functional elements like heating and cooling systems, barbed wire for safety, and views of additional Marui building signage and the blank, almost windowless Docomo tower. The photos make it seem empty, but in fact local teens have already discovered this hidden, semi-public space.
A miniature fantasy landscape freely shared on a Tokyo curbside.
ミニチュアのファンタジー風景が舗道 の縁石を占領している。
This tiny curbside garden is a fantasy landscape in miniature in what was probably dead space previously between the house and the road. There's moving water, a palm tree, plants, and several odd characters. I found it just across the road from the giant tree on that former country lane that is now barely visible in Suginami, not far from Opera City.
The contents are fun in their whimsical incongruity. Even in this tiny space, there are several overlapping vignettes. A tiny palm tree joined by a sliver bunny and a character that appears to be a cross between European Romanticism and anime; several Sago palms (Cycas revoluta) beneath some mid-height bushes; and the fountain with water plants and a character trio with a helmeted princess, a red Cobra super-hero whose left arm is a semi-automatic weapon, and an over-sized yellow dog. The fountain features plants, a tiny cliff-side, and bathtub ducks.
The garden structure is very DIY: low-cost, anonymously designed, and highly imaginative. I love that the gardener is sharing this creation with the neighbors and passers-by. The garden's minimal foundation is constructed mostly of low-lying brick with some wood fencing. I particularly like the tag that shows the flowers that will bloom later.
Thanks again to @ArchitourTokyo for the great bike tour where we discovered this sculpture garden.

As the far left mainstream media fawns over the North Koreans at the Winter Olympics, the popular Showtime program Homeland is doing its best to let their audience know that President Donald Trump is a fascist.
How do they do this? By slipping in a hidden message to parallel the show's president with Trump and the current state of affairs.
Here's the deal…
From NewsBusters:
The February 11 season premiere "Enemy of the State" continues after the shocking season six finale when President Elizabeth Keane (Elizabeth Marvel) ordered the sudden arrest and detainment of 200 intelligence officers for allegedly being connected to her attempted assassination.
Despite the attempted parallels to Hillary Clinton from the previous season, the show now seems determined to portray Keane as the paranoid, tyrannical figure that liberals imagine Trump is. Observe how she behaves upon being questioned for suggesting a former general be executed.
Partial transcript from the show:
Wellington: Well, I'm not sure going after him directly was the best move.
Keane: He openly challenged me. What was I supposed to do?
Wellington: Well, you might've stuck to the script.
Keane: I had to respond.
Wellington: Senator Paley was on CNB this morning, calling your leadership style "thuggish" and "authoritarian." No one's doubting how tough you are.
Keane: Good.
Wellington: Which makes it exactly the right time to throttle back a little, take your foot off the gas.
Keane: Not yet.
Prior to the premiere, Homeland showrunner Alex Gansa commented on the plot as it relates to our current administration. He remarked, "I think [Trump] might be amused just to watch an administration convinced that there was something called the 'deep state' aligned against her. Clearly that's a fear that the Trump administration feels every day."
What in the world makes Trump a fascist by the way? Is he physically beating up people who disagree with him as the left does routinely?
More on the media's love of North Korea…
They chose to side with the hermit kingdom over the United States to push the propaganda Kim Jong-un would want. It should not be lost on anyone that Kim Yo-Jong (Kim Jong-un's sister) is the head of the Department of Propaganda and Agitation in North Korea.
What's so 'satisfying' about cult slaves performing obligatory moves?
From Daily Mail:
South Korean activists burned the North's flag on Sunday in a protest against the two countries' efforts to improve relations during the Winter Olympics.
The protesters set the flag alight along with a portrait of Kim Jong Un, whose sister was due to watch a Northern musical display with the South's President at a nearby theatre in Seoul.
A Pyongyang orchestra was to give a concert in Seoul as part of a cross-border deal in which the isolated, nuclear-armed North sent hundreds of athletes, cheerleaders and others to the Pyeongchang Games in South Korea.
But the rapprochement pushed by South Korean President Moon Jae-in has angered conservatives who accuse him of being a North Korea sympathiser.
The MSM is concerned this might be undermining the alliance with the United States and that it's giving the North Koreans an opportunity to push propaganda, which Western media appears to be lapping up.
Most Koreans want reunification. But South Koreans see unification as the North Koreans putting aside the threats and their communism and accepting democracy. North Koreans see it as South Korea being taken over and Pyongyang ruling.
So when the North Korean cheerleaders chant or sing about unification, it's not a happy "let's love everyone song."
And when Kim Yo-Jong signed a guest book wishing for unification, it's not a 'warm message' of love.
