Way back in this post, I asked you all if you'd be interested in tips on speeding up the process of cooking whole foods from scratch. Today, I'll begin to answer that question. I realized there is so much to say on this topic that I'd need to split it up into two smaller posts. So today's post covers the first four tips; check here for the rest of them!
If you cook 98% of your food from scratch as I do, it's really just a basic survival strategy to find ways to speed up the process and make it easier. Below are some of the things that I've found helpful over the years. I've come to most of these ideas on my own over time, but have also found some useful information on blogs and sites I've read along the way. So thank you to all the lovely bloggers and writers whose words contributed to this post!
Note: A truly "from-scratch" meal would be made entirely on my own, without ANY help from food manufacturers. If most of the ingredients were fresh and/or cooked entirely by me, I consider that from-scratch. If I use a canned or packaged product that is basically a single ingredient and one I could also make at home (most common in this category would be canned diced tomatoes or natural nut butters, for instance, but I also do use packaged alternative milks), then I also consider that "from scratch." Of course, you have to draw your own line where it feels comfortable to you.
Tip # 1: Use a Meal Plan (or, as my dad used to say, "Do what I say, not what I do").
Let me start right off the bat by confessing that I have a hard time sticking to a meal plan.
These days, I seem to channel my mother when it's time for dinner. You see, when she was around 20, she shared a room at her older sister's house with my cousin, CBC. Apparently, Mom was so disorganized that when it came time to get ready for work in the morning, she'd stand before the chaotic pile of blouses, stockings, scarves, skirts, shoes and whatever else she'd dropped on the dresser (instead of folding or hanging in the closet), thrusting first one, then the other hand into the pile to fetch an item. She'd glance at it, then throw it behind her if it didn't suit the purpose, over and over, until she finally found something to wear for the day. My cousin observed from her side of the room, amazed at the seemingly endless parade of flowing silk and nylon and cotton as it was thrown up in the air behind my mother, first one side, then the other, each item floating to the ground to form a new heap for the following morning's rush.
Well, that's kind of how I feel when I stand before the refrigerator at dinnertime each evening. While I don't fling the food away behind me, I do reach in, push aside, pick up and examine countless containers, bags of vegetables, jars of fermented food or nut butter, bottles of juice or Bragg's or sriracha–then do it again, until I finally decide which items I will combine to form a meal.
Not the most efficient way to cook, obviously.
I did use meal planning for a few months last year thanks to this series on Amy's blog, and it truly was a wonderful, useful way to save time (and money) on meals. I fell out of the habit when I was focused so intensely on testing for and photographing my cookbook, and somehow never got back into it with any regularity. I intend to meal plan again, because I know how much time it saved me, both shopping and cooking. (It's also a great way to ensure that no fresh produce is wasted, since you have plans for that chard and fennel long before they go bad).
So, I will keep aiming for that perfect meal plan-into-action in my life and kitchen. For now, though, I will recommend it to those of you who can follow through!
Tip #2: Keep a Well-Stocked Fridge and Pantry.
Fill the pantry with most-used non-perishables (and a few less-used ones, too). I have cans of beans (for when I don't have time/desire to soak and cook my own); extra jars of unsweetened applesauce for those last-minute baking ventures; boxes of nondairy milks (again, if I don't have time/desire to make my own); a few jars of natural almond butter or tahini; jars or cans of artichoke hearts and capers, and some canned goods that I know and can depend on (see below) are all stacked neatly in our pantry waiting to be used when needed.
I think of nut butters, tahini, coconut butter and other sauces (such as pesto) as "good mixers." Any of these can easily be combined with one or two other ingredients to create a quick and easy dish. For instance, Baked Sweet Potato Rounds with Sweet Almond Sauce or Almond-Curry Sauce is a favorite breakfast; noodles tossed with pesto of Savory Sweet Potato Spread, cilantro and hemp seeds is a quick pasta; chickpeas and some tahini-lemon-garlic sauce makes the bulk of this warm salad.
I do store some prepared canned goods for true emergency dinners (not at all "from scratch," but one way to get quick meal on the table). Amy's products are some of the best out there, containing ingredients I'd use if I had time. We particularly love their spicy chili, which I usually rev up with chopped fresh chard or kale. Add a slice of hearty bread and you've got a filling meal in less than 10 minutes. (Or, if you have more time, add the chili to this Chili Mac casserole).
Tip #3: Prepare in Advance, and Always Prepare More than You Need.
When you arrive home from grocery shopping, prep your veggies right away instead of unpacking and then placing them all in the refrigerator, only to use more time removing and prepping them when it's time to cook. If you prep only once, you'll save time later on (and if you use a meal plan, you'll know right away which veggies will need to be chopped for use within the next few days).
I've been preparing greens and lettuce this way for years. When I first prep my lettuce or leafy greens (this works best with hearty greens like romaine, kale, collard), I wash and spin them all, then store in a bag with clean paper towel (or clean white tea towels). They will stay fresh for up to 5 days that way. Then, when I'm ready to mix up a salad a few days later, that part of the prep is already done.
These days, I never cook up a stew, soup, or any other main course without making enough for a minimum of two meals. Once you've got the veggies and other ingredients out, it's really no extra work to fill two pots or two pans and let them cook. (It saves on the cost of electricity or gas, too, since you're firing up the oven only once). Then, I freeze leftovers in single servings for another day.
batches of rice, grains or beans or legumes (I package beans in one-cup amounts and freeze so they can be thrown later into chilis, bean butter, etc.).
spreads or dips such as nut butter, hummus, bean dips, or even bean fudge and raw treats freeze well and can be defrosted overnight in the refrigerator).
With so many frozen ingredients or dishes on hand, we're never without a meal or snack, even when I don't have time to make it that day. Of course, this tip presupposes a large freezer somewhere in your house!
There you have it–four tips to get you started with some whole-food ingredients so you'll be ready to whip up healthy meals in a flash. Next time, I'll focus on the process of actually cooking and what you can do to quicken the pace. See Part II here.
Do you have other questions about how I cook whole foods, anti-candida meals at home without spending the whole day in the kitchen? Is there something specific you'd like me to cover in Part 2? Ask away in the comments!
Awesome tips, Ricki!! Loving these!!
Thanks, Johanna! And yes, I love that tip about the soup stock. Even when I don't have time to make a full-fledged stock for the HH and me, I just boil up the scraps for The Girls and pour it over their food for extra vitamins and minerals. 😉 And I'm like you–things evolve organically and can change even while cooking!
I, too, appreciate the "Do As I Say, Not As I Do." I've never been much of a meal planner and when I have planned meals for several days at a time, we always end up with two much food that we can't use. We tend to go by the weather and our moods. I'll have some ingredients and I'll say to Mr. GFE, well, I can make A, B, or C, which do you prefer? And then I go from there. Maybe I'm blessed with a gift, because I can usually look in the fridge (I do it the same way you do!) and/or pantry and usually come up with something good. 🙂 So obviously I believe in #2. And often my new recipes come from that moment–paired with a wee bit of anxiety–where I have to come up with a plan. 😉 I do loosely plan in my head a few meals as I pick up things at the store or farmer's market.
Great post, Ricki! Will share for sure!
Glad I'm not the only one who cooks for an army with two humans in the house! I realize the numbers should be even larger for those with families. 🙂 And I love that you can whip something up last minute–I think there is a real art and talent to that kind of cooking (I'm still working on it!).
I agree, it doesn't work if you don't have enough people (or desire) to eat the leftovers! 😉 But I've found making extra always serves me well. You also never know when you'll have friends or family over–and then dinner is already served at the last minute that way, too!
This was awesome Ricki. I'm generally pretty good at most of these, except for batch cooking which would be a great thing to get into the habit of doing. It would make things easier having beans and grains waiting for me in the freezer. I don't do canned beans and sometimes forget to put dried in to soak the night before I need them.
Thanks for all these links too, lots of new to me recipes here!
These are some great tips! thanks for such a helpful post, Ricki!
I try to batch cook! And I try to meal plan 🙂 It ALWAYS works better that way! I'm useless if 5:30 rolls around and I don't know what we're having…take-out!
I always batch cook, partly as a time saver and partly because, living alone, it'd usually be more trouble to scale down recipes anyway. What I hate is when I wind up at the end of the week with just enough leftover to NOT be a full a meal, and then I don't know what to do with it. I need to get back to what I used to do in college, which was batch cook and immediately portion it all evenly into individual Tupperware. How did I find the time? Shouldn't I have been studying or something?!

The United Nations Climate Change Conference is like a 'play' driven by the world's media, UN, club of elites, multinational giants, bunches of conservative & liberal politicians and influential political leaders grabbing the attention from the Copenhagen Climate Change Summit (COP 15) to the Warsaw Climate Change Summit— 'catchy' arithmetic figure of reduction target and advanced framework & guidelines — triggered by the wealthiest nations of the world— always interestingly confronts with emerging nations of the southern world. Conventional energy sources generates carbon dioxide (CO2) that has been the 'backbone' of every established and emerging economy (production and supplies) which has been actually emerged as the tough 'unresolved' factor in every climate negotiation–how to deal with it ?
Mr. Putin who truly knows the significance of his Gazprom, Russia's first rated oil & natural gas company, which supplies more than 40% of the gas to Europe—-is enough to set off the next cold war—-which every Kremliner probably seeking and taking advantage of it. The EU is the little boy and nastiest sufferer in between the unhealthy rivalry of 'Mr. Putin's post Soviet annexation project & US attempt of restoring western model democracy around Euro-Asia region, countering Mr.Putin'.
The US oil giant EXXON Mobil Corporation's mega US fracking project is still in the baby stage to become a potential supplier around the Euro-Asian region to dent Moscow's hegemony. This fracking project has strongly lift concern about legitimacy of Capitol Hill policy makers on their posture about the US Climate Change Policy that seems to be detracting. Plainly, the US posture is making several upcoming climate talks wavering. Rather, who will be leading this post-1991 perceived Cold War era, is not our concern. The only concern we mark is climate justice.
We are still struggling to get a radical energy source that does not produce CO2. Shifting economies through alternative energy source is still a matter of discussion for Capitol Hill and Westminster's policy makers which is predominantly developing as climate change politics for them. Mr. Cameroon has been repeatedly pushed in to the terrifying hole inside South London and Scots separation movement from the UK. 10 Downing Street ruler needs to strongly engage on anti-fracking project despite of its acknowledgment on 'economic boost' especially beneficial to those Old British ruling class & established oligarchs including Qatari Sheikh based in London.
Today, London is ruled by Kensington Palace based rich Russian Oligarchs likely leverage in British Climate Policy that British bureaucrat unable to deny. Even after the approval from the EU (Jan 2014), this 'fracking' politics is expanding across Trans-Atlantic.
In the eyes of Shanghai & Delhi, developed nations lack legitimacy to inspect on CO2 emission targets because of developed nations 'exploitation' towards nature —of course one of the 'baselines' of today's global warming status. Europe remains one of the topmost producers of CO2 in history. However, what does that mean, whether Beijing & Delhi are allowed to expand economies through CO2 emissions—when future of earth is in such critical condition–simply, say a big 'NO' to it.
Complete disarray occurs when power blocs collide whether in New York for sanctioning any pluralist state or negotiating in any topic on Geneva for clear passes of political deadlock—each has its own 'strategic interest'— military, economy, climate change, international diplomacy & nuclear weapons–exist by the own peculiar definition of each country. The post Cold War era exercises an awesome improving trend of international diplomacy—finding common ground on specific issues by sitting together at any lavish Trans Atlantic Location—-'Accord '& 'Declarations' have proven very catchy word for key global players. Least Developed Countries (LDC) always come across via listening 'happening' commitments (financial and policy) at negotiations table but their implementation has wider loopholes after they fly back to their capital.
Recent policy framework of the EU climate change strategy to curb carbon dioxide by 40% and to increase the share of renewable energy by 27% within 2030 is a positive great start. Well, the EU always has been one of the front runners on climate change issues. Some of the Scandinavian nations have been actively engaged in empowering global south countries (one of the worst sufferers of climate change) and their support on civilian mechanisms on those countries has been successful. Nevertheless, broader implementation is necessary that should encircle not only Brussels but also Washington and Beijing (also emerging economies in Asia & Latin America). Washington and Beijing (established & emerging markets) have perceived blockage in every climate negotiations that has halted the progress. No any 'supremacy' should exist in terms of curving CO2. 'Commitment' is always being the rhetoric of Washington DC's & Beijing's policy makers, where business and only business is the bottom lining matter—- concrete implementation is utmost necessary.

Q: Visual Basic Referencing .Net Objects In An Array I have a big list of objects in the Design view of Visual Basic 2010 that I need to change a bunch of properties for, so of course I tried using an array rather than taking 50-60 lines for a repetitive task. But there seems to be an issue referencing to the object and it seems to be just taking the information from it. I know that was a shitty explanation, but maybe you'll understand it when you see it.
    Dim objectsToClear As Array = _
    {lblDailyRoundTrip, lblDaysWorked, lblFillBoxes, lblMilesPerGallon, lblMonthlyInsurance, _
     lblMonthlyMaintenance, lblMonthlyParking, tbDailyRoundTrip, tbDaysWorked, tbMilesPerGallon, _
     tbMonthlyInsurance, tbMonthlyMaintenance, tbMonthlyParking}

        For i = LBound(objectsToClear) To UBound(objectsToClear)
        objectsToClear(i).Text = ""
        objectsToClear(i).Visible = False
    Next

A: Try this instead:
Dim objectsToClear As Array = { lblDailyRoundTrip,
                                lblDaysWorked,
                                lblFillBoxes,
                                lblMilesPerGallon,
                                lblMonthlyInsurance,
                                lblMonthlyMaintenance,
                                lblMonthlyParking,
                                tbDailyRoundTrip,
                                tbDaysWorked,
                                tbMilesPerGallon,
                                tbMonthlyInsurance,
                                tbMonthlyMaintenance,
                                tbMonthlyParking }

For Each item In objectsToClear
    item.Text = String.Empty
    item.Visible = False
Next item

P.S. - you REALLY should have Option Strict On, and you should have strongly typed your array.

A: Since you seem to be interested in changing only .Text and .Visible properties, then you can just find the control by name, like this:
Dim returnValue As Control()
returnValue = Me.Controls.Find(objectsToClear(i), True)

Note: The True argument is for whether or not to search all children, which it sounds like you want to do. Read Control.ControlCollection.Find Method documentation for more information.
Now that you have a collection of controls that match the name you specified, loop through the controls in that collection and set the property values, like this:
For Each c As Control In returnValue
    c.Text = ""
    c.Visible = False
Next

Dynamic Analysis of Damper System in Torque Converter 2007-01-3749
This paper presents a newly proposed damper system in torque converter to minimize the vibration in powertrain system. The lock-up clutch in torque converter makes engine and transmission connected directly. When the lock-up clutch is engaged, the torque fluctuation of engine is attenuated by the damper system. This function decides the vehicle powertrain dynamic characteristics. To calculate the dynamic characteristics of vehicle, the vehicle model with a six-cylindered diesel engine and eight-speed A/T and three damper systems (conventional damper, turbine damper and new damper system) were structured by using AMESim® that is a commercial S/W. At first, the proposed damper system was analyzed by using the damper spring stiffness of previous damper system. New resonance frequency was appeared around 45Hz which didn't exist in previous damper system. However, this resonance frequency was critical to the dynamic characteristics of the vehicle because engine operation range was between 40Hz and 250Hz. Therefore, this resonance frequency should be excluded from engine operation range. For solving this problem, the stiffness of damper spring was changed by using the stiffness equation proposed by regression analysis. As a result, new resonance frequency could be excluded from engine operation range, and the magnitude of frequency response function of the new damper system was less than that of the previous damper system. The torque and speed fluctuations of the vehicle model with new damper system were also reduced.

Vivekananda Rock Memorial – 50 Years
Srinivasan Balakrishnan
This is the 50th year of the iconic Vivekananda Rock Memorial in Kanyakumari. It was on 2nd September 1970 that this memorial to the Wandering Monk was dedicated to the nation or, rather, to the whole world, by the then President, Shri V.V. Giri. Surprisingly, the then Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, Shri M. Karunanidhi, an atheist, also participated! It may be because Vivekananda is hailed as the 'Patriot Prophet'.
This particular rock was chosen because it was here that Vivekananda meditated for three days from Dec. 25 to 27 1892 whence he got divine enlightenment about his life's mission. Penniless, this sanyasin swam across the 1,600 ft. distance between the shore and this rock, braving 20' deep sea water, thrashing waves and submerged rocks. It was appropriate that he chose this very rock where Goddess Parvathi (Kanya Kumari) did penance standing on one leg. Hence this rock is originally known as Sri Patham Rock. An impression of a foot ('patham' in Tamil) found on this rock is believed to be that of the Goddess. It was appropriate because Vivekananda was an ardent devotee of Kali / Durga, other forms of Parvathi.
After being ordained as a sanyasin in 1886, Vivekananda went on a solitary wandering in the Himalayas (1890) and then undertook Bharat Parikrama as a Wandering Monk (July 1890-Dec.1892), at the end of which he reached Kanyakumari on 24th Dec 1892. After meditation there and upon realizing his life's mission, Vivekananda sailed for USA on 31 May 1893 to participate in the World Parliament of Religions in Chicago. His address on 11 Sept. 1893 (in response to welcome) began with the unusual "Sisters & Brothers of America", deviating from the formal "Ladies & Gentlemen", which touched the heart of those assembled. On September 27, 1893, he again addressed at the final session, leaving an everlasting impression about India's hoary religious tradition. For the next three years (1893-1896) Vivekananda traveled throughout the USA lecturing on Vedanta and established the Vedanta Society there (1896). Returning on 26 Jan. 1897, a warm and rousing welcome awaited Vivekananda in Rameshwaram, Tamil Nadu. He founded Ramakrishna Mission on 1st May 1897.
To honour this great saint, it was decided in 1962, on the eve of his birth centenary (1963), to construct a befitting memorial. What more an appropriate spot than the very rock where he attained enlightenment! Accordingly, on 17th January 1963 a tablet was installed on the rock and negotiations with Tamil Nadu Govt. started. With Shri Eknathiji Ranade joining the Committee as the first Organising Secretary on 11th Aug. 1963, things progressed further and, on 12th October 1967, the foundation stone was laid. And, now in 2020, the Memorial is 50 years young, like the dynamic Sanyasin.
The Sri Patham / Vivekananda rock measures 534'x426' at water level and is spread 4 acres at 55' above water level where the memorial has been raised. The memorial has three structures – Sri Patha Mandapam where the foot impression of Goddess Parvathi is found, the Sabha Mandapam where the statue of Swami Vivekananda stands majestically looking directly at the Sri Patham, and a Meditation Mandapam 15' below Sabha mandapam. Swami Vivekananda's 7 ½' bronze statue is based on a portrait by Shri S.M. Pandit of Mumbai and sculpted by Shri N.L. Sonavadekar from JJ School of Arts, Mumbai. Swami stands here in the pose of a Wandering Monk, facing the portraits of Sri Ramakrishna & Smt. Saradha Devi, his gurus. The dhyana / meditation hall has an 'Om' symbol installed inside. I just peeped into the meditation hall but did not venture to meditate, because millions of thoughts crisscross my mind in a nano second once I close my eyes. A book-cum-souvenir shop is also located at the base. A Sun Rise Calendar is also etched.
To withstand erosion of the sea wind/weather conditions, granite was the only choice for raising this memorial. Blue and red granite were quarried and brought from more than 60 kms away, totally weighing 6,000 tons. This includes four 12'-tall monolithic pillars each weighing 13 tons with intricate carvings and ceiling beams weighing 9 tons each! The memorial was constructed as per shilpa sashtra under the able guidance of Sthapathi (temple architect) Shri S.K. Achari of Tamil Nadu. With 2081 working days since start to inauguration, the budget then was 1.20 crore rupees. The whole nation was involved in its construction by common people contributing small amounts; 30 lakh people donated a minimum of one rupee each. I remember our family also contributing such a small amount; as a boy of 12-13 years old then living in Madurai I was so excited. As a foresighted plan of action, massive reservoirs have been constructed on the rock for Rain Water Harvesting. On another nearby smaller rock stands the 133' tall statue of Tamil Saint Poet Thiruvalluvar whose 2000-year-old Thirukural (in all 1330 couplets in 133 chapters) is one of the most praised works in Tamil language.
As soon as we landed in Kanyakumari a few months back in 2019, we dumped our luggage in the hotel room and rushed to visit this Memorial. As it was Kerala's Onam holiday season, there was a long queue to board the ferry. My intelligent wife quickly decided to go in for the special ticket to jump the queue of the mortals and also ensured a window seat for us. Oh, thank you, dear! The ferry service to the rock depends on the unpredictable weather / sea wave / tide conditions; hence this ranked top in our itinerary. Despite our planning, we were banned from visiting the Thiruvalluvar statue; blame the 'low tide'. This was my third visit after a gap of 30 years. The first was with my parents and two elder sisters, probably much before the memorial was raised, because I remember very little about this trip; then in 1989 with my baby boy.
In 1984, the Government of India declared Swami Vivekananda's birth day 12th January as the National Youth Day. Let us remember his clarion call 'Arise, Awake and Stop not till the Goal is Reached.'

Donald Trump and Lord Voldemort compared during innovative Academic Scholar session
A leading global figure and one of the greatest fantasy novels of all time were the inspiration behind the latest in the series of an ongoing learning initiative at Rydal Penrhos.
Music teacher Richard Davies took a special Academic Scholar session for the successful ongoing initiative, which was given the title of 'Harry Potter and the Prisoners of Instagram'.
During the seminar, the group explored the difference between good and evil and how real-life characters relate to some leading figures throughout the world.
The prime example used was the controversial figure Donald Trump, a wealthy billionaire who shocked the globe when he won the United States of America presidency over fancied rival Hilary Clinton in 2016.
His comparison was the iconic Harry Potter villain Lord Voldemort, and Mr Davies looked at similarities between the two before listing some infamous quotes from both to get the group to guess which character said what statement.
They followed this with a few examples of what constitutes good or evil in today's modern society and the importance of keeping a sound moral compass to ensure great characteristics to transition through both their education and 'real-world' lives.
Deputy Head Tim Cashell, said: "This was another example of the innovative and exciting methods of teaching by our fantastic staff, and well done to Mr Davies for another outstanding Academic Scholar session.
"The seminars have been a hugely vital additional learning tool for each pupil that has participated throughout the academic year, and hopefully this scheme can continue long into the future."

American menswear designer John Varvatos punks up yet another round of Chuck Taylors as part of his ongoing footwear line for Converse.
Converse has teamed up with UK sneaker retailer Offspring to offer a unique customization experience. The event is called "Get Your Converse Stuff Inked", this allows customers to buy a new pair of Chuck Taylors and customize them. There will be a generous selection of 200 graphic options that will be regularly updated, available to finish either one or two sides, or the entire shoe (at an additional cost of £10, 15 and £25 respectively). Design experts will be on hand to provide 1-on-1 assistance if required, meaning the Taylors will be done in a matter of minutes. The event will take place on Saturday at Offspring's Selfridges concession store on Oxford Street, London.
Bodega and Converse have once again joined forces – this time to re-imagine the Poorman Weapon as a sophisticated beast yet unseen by the world. Transforming the original silhouette into a super high-top that can be worn rolled down, the focus of this project was to achieve harmony between the chosen materials. An extra high refined waxed canvas upper is paired with a supple deerskin lining to make this Poorman's Weapon seem not quite so poor. The natural properties of deerskin leather shine with its extremely high strength and resistance to abrasion. Generally used for motorcycle gloves, deerskin's unique fiber structure keeps you cool at high noon and warm as night falls. The charcoal colorway keeps this forward thinking shoe toned down, while a gusseted tongue and waxed laces combined with the leather's inherent water repellent qualities keep it an all weather shoe.
A release is set for Saturday, March 13th at Bodega. The shoe will come in a custom ballistic nylon case lined with shearling. An etched flask will be included for those over 21 years of age. This pack retails for $120 USD, is limited to 100 sets and contains all the elements necessary for surviving the long winter and wet spring.
Converse Japan will be releasing some new shoes in March. It will include NV Side-Gore Hi and Slip-Star Ox in solid and star print motifs. Also included are two Jack Purcells, featured in a solid leather weave design.

As the only galleried coaching inn left in London, The George Inn (or simply, The George) is something to see.
Dating back to the 17th century, The George once provided accommodation for coach travelers on their way to the City. Tucked down an alley, its low ceilings, dark wood beams and cobbled courtyard take you back to a London of long ago. It is said that both Charles Dickens and William Shakespeare were frequent patrons.
Now owned by the National Trust, the restaurant and pub still serve food and drink today. K and I recently enjoyed a beer in the courtyard while acting out a scene from Romeo and Juliet.

This looks so historic and inviting. Maybe when we come in May it might be a good place to get a "pint". Love, M. & D.
Sounds like a plan, Marcia!

Q: Deletar Registro no Bd Criei uma sistema para criação de post.
Mas não estou conseguindo deletar no banco mas aparece a confirmação de Excluido com Sucesso!
<?php
       $db = mysqli_connect("127.0.0.1", "root", "", "photos");
       $sql = "SELECT * FROM images";
       $result = mysqli_query($db, $sql);
       while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) {
          echo "

";
          echo "

 ".$row['titulo']."

";
          echo "

</div ";
          echo "

          echo "

";
           echo "                     <button>Deletar</button>

";
}

if (isset($_GET['Acao']) && $_GET['Acao'] == 'Deletar') {
   $id = $_GET['id'];
   $sql = mysqli_query("DELETE FROM images WHERE id='$id' ");

   if ($result) {
   echo '';
   } else {
       echo '';
   }

}
?>

A: *

*Você está testando $result, sendo que guardou o objeto de resultado na query na variável $sql
$sql = mysqli_query("DELETE FROM images WHERE id='$id' ");
^^^^
if ($result) {
    ^^^^^^^

*A nomenclatura está ruim, pois SQL é o que está entre aspas, e não o retorno do mysqli_query, que como mencionado é um objeto.

*Você está fazendo queries sem por o link da conexão, convém sempre ler o o Manual, para não precisar fazer uma pergunta a cada linha de código.
Notar que isto é uma dica para facilitar sua vida, pois lendo o manual o seu trabalho vai render muito mais. Nada contra você perguntar, estamos aqui pra ajudar, mas tudo que for mais simples e conseguir resolver por conta própria, vai agilizar seu tempo.

*Para saber quantos registros foram afetados (sejam inseridos, atualizados ou removidos) a função mais adequada é mysqli_affected_rows($link).
Muitas vezes a query pode ter sido bem sucedida, mas não ser encontrado nenhum registro que satisfaça o WHERE, aí seu teste vai falhar.

*Importante, se puser esse código no ar, seu DB vai ser destruído a todo momento, pois você não sanitizou seus dados e qualquer um faz injeção no código.
Tem outras considerações, mas se resolver esses ítens acima já é um bom começo. A sugestão é de fazer pequenos testes separados até dominar o básico, e uma vez funcionando, colocar no código principal.
Sobre o trecho do if, uma melhoria seria essa:
// forçando que $id seja um número:
// (o ideal seria fazer um teste mais complexo, já que esse cast não
// evita que quebrem o código mandando um array.
// De qq forma, isto já evita a injeção, que é o maior perigo)
$id = 0 + $id;

// guardando o objeto de resultado em $result
$result = mysqli_query($link, 'DELETE FROM images WHERE id='.$id);

// e testando  1) se a query foi executada  2) se deletou algo de fato
if(!$result) {
    ... houve um problema na query ...
} elseif( mysqli_affected_rows($link) > 0 ) {
    ... deletou um ou mais registros ...
} else {
    ... a query foi realizada, mas nao foi deletado nenhum registro ...
}

Q: How to remove a single command from bash autocomplete How do I remove a single "command" from Bash's auto complete command suggestions? I'm asking about the very first argument, the command, in auto complete, not asking "How to disable bash autocomplete for the arguments of a specific command"
For example, if I have the command ls and the system path also finds ls_not_the_one_I_want_ever, and I type ls and then press tab, I want a way to have removed ls_not_the_one_I_want_ever from every being a viable option.
I think this might be related to the compgen -c list, as this seems to be the list of commands available.

Background: WSL on Windows is putting all the .dll files on my path, in addition to the .exe files that should be there, and so I have many dlls I would like to remove in my bash environment, but I'm unsure how to proceed.

A: Bash 5.0's complete command added a new -I option for this.
According to man bash —

*

*complete -pr [-DEI] [name ...]
[...] The -I option indicates  that other  supplied  options  and actions should apply to completion on the initial non-assignment word on the line, or after a command delimiter such as ; or |, which is usually  command  name completion. [...]

Example:
function _comp_commands()
{
    local cur=$2

    if [[ $cur == ls* ]]; then
        COMPREPLY=( $(compgen -c "$cur" | grep -v ls_not_wanted) )
    fi
}

complete -o bashdefault -I -F _comp_commands

A: Using @pynexj's answer, I came up with the following example that seems to work well enough:
if [ "${BASH_VERSINFO[0]}" -ge "5" ]; then
  function _custom_initial_word_complete()
  {
    if [ "${2-}" != "" ]; then
      if [ "${2::2}" == "ls" ]; then
        COMPREPLY=($(compgen -c "${2}" | \grep -v ls_not_the_one_I_want_ever))
      else
        COMPREPLY=($(compgen -c "${2}"))
      fi
    fi
  }

  complete -I -F _custom_initial_word_complete
fi

Now may be the best time to switch jobs — and make more money
Shana Lebowitz
New opportunities abound.
akinbostanci/Getty Images
This year could be an opportune time to switch jobs and increase your salary.
That's because hiring is picking up and employers are increasingly open to remote talent.
Many workers are already planning a change. In the US, 4 million people quit their jobs in April.
It could be time to try something new. You might find a role that suits you better and pays more than your current gig.
Hiring is picking up as the economy recovers from the pandemic recession . US postings on the job-search platform Indeed on June 4 were 28.6% above what they were on February 1, 2020, the pre-pandemic baseline. Employers are also increasingly willing to hire remote talent, meaning job seekers have more options now than they did before the pandemic.
With this extra leverage, job seekers are ready. The US Labor Department said 4 million people quit their jobs in April, a 20-year record. Microsoft recently reported that of 31,092 full-time workers around the world, more than 40% said they were considering leaving their job this year. In leaving, they could boost their earnings.
Even before the pandemic, switching jobs was a solid way to bump up your salary. A 2017 Nomura analysis found that people who had changed jobs earned roughly 1% more year over year than people who stayed with the same employer.
"Switching jobs is one of the best ways to make more money," said Nick Bunker, the economic-research director for North America at Indeed's Hiring Lab. "Hopefully that translates into a boost for people's paychecks up and down the wage distribution."
Quitting has already reached pre-pandemic levels
The US quit rate tends to plummet during recessions — that's what happened last spring as unemployment hit record levels. But by September, the quit rate had bounced back, Bureau of Labor Statistics data showed.
"The average person who's employed is about as likely to quit their job as they were before the pandemic," Bunker said.
A big reason for this anomaly could be that the pandemic recession wasn't a typical economic downturn, in which people hold on to their jobs for dear life. It was more of a public-health crisis that, in turn, decimated the economy. Many people quit their jobs because they were worried about getting exposed to the virus or needed to care for family members.
Bunker said that he "would not be shocked" if the quit rate picked up this year, with many people voluntarily switching roles. "There's probably lots of people who are reevaluating some things about their jobs and their current working situation," he said.
Many professionals are rethinking their work situations
During the pandemic, many people found that they preferred working remotely to working in an office. In a Prudential survey in April, 42% of US workers who were remote said they'd look for a new job if their employer didn't let them work remotely long term.
Other prospective quitters are members of what The New York Times' Kevin Roose called the "YOLO economy." They've saved money, and now they're ready for something new, whether that's finding a different job or leaving the proverbial rat race.
Still, other people think the grass on the other side is greener.
For workers with in-demand skills, there's probably another employer willing to pay them more than what they're making now.
Bunker said he was optimistic that workers in relatively low-wage occupations would benefit just as much as workers in higher-paying roles.
"A stronger labor market lets lower-wage workers and younger workers move up the job ladder by moving into a new job or potentially a new field," he said.
Freelancing, a trend that grew during the past year or so, is also likely to continue after the pandemic.
"There are a lot of jobs to be found remote freelancing," said Adam Ozimek, the chief economist at Upwork, a platform for hiring remote workers. "And it gives even more flexibility to the way that you work."
And there could be a boost in people's earnings. In an Upwork survey published in September, 75% of respondents who'd quit their full-time job to freelance said they were more making as much or more money freelancing.
This summer will be a pivotal time for the labor market
There are still groups of workers who are unable to find jobs or to take them.
The Washington Post reported in April that nearly 4 million adult workers in the US without college degrees had not found new jobs after losing work during the pandemic, compared with 199,000 adult workers with a bachelor's degree or higher. Meanwhile, some would-be workers are caring for kids or older relatives.
Bunker said he was watching carefully to see how the labor market evolves this summer, right before unemployment benefits expire and many schools reopen, which could motivate many people to look for jobs.
"How will employers try to compete for work in such an environment?" he said.

Q: Wrapped sql.DB by struct can't invoke methods in instance My goal is using a struct to wrap sql.DB to do something more than sql.DB.
The instance I create can't work and give me this error when I run it.
DbConn.db.prepare undefined (cannot refer to unexported field or method sql.(*DB)."".prepare)

My code is:
type DatabaseConn struct {
  driverName string
  databaseName string
  userName string
  password string
  dataSourceName string
  db *sql.DB
}

func (d DatabaseConn)Open() error {
    d.driverName    = DB_DRNAME
    d.userName      = DB_UNAME
    d.password      = DB_PWD
    d.databaseName  = DB_DBNAME
    d.dataSourceName = fmt.Sprintf("%s:%s@/%s?charset=utf8",d.userName, d.password, d.databaseName)
    db, err := sql.Open(d.driverName, d.dataSourceName)
    return err
}

func (d *DatabaseConn)Close() error {
    defer func() {
        if err := recover(); err != nil {
            fmt.Println("Trying to handle error in DatabaseConn.Close(): ", err)
        }
    }()

    err := d.db.Close()
    return err
}

I am trying to create an instance and invoke sql.DB method.
var dbConn DatabaseConn
dbConn.Open()
defer dbConn.Close()
dbQuery := fmt.Sprintf("SELECT *, FROM ms_node WHERE node_id = ?")
getNodeRecord, err := dbConn.db.prepare(dbQuery)

The error message is pointed here.
./server.go:343: dbConn.db.prepare undefined (cannot refer to unexported field or method sql.(*DB)."".prepare)

(Personal background: I am newbie for 2 weeks)

A: The function Prepare starts with a capital letter ;)
So you should have:
getNodeRecord, err := dbConn.db.Prepare(dbQuery)


← In which I blatantly borrow my own Amazon review of Erwin McManus' "The Last Arrow" and post it here.
I can't exactly figure out why Jonny Lang is the recipient of complaints that he needs to "get back to the blues." He never left it.
He did manage to leave the randier, entendre-ridden traditions of the blues with his baptism in 2006, but that's about it. The confluence between Muddy waters, Stevie Wonder and Prince have always been there, even during the Wander this World and Long Time Coming releases.
But it was his Turn Around album, forged out of experiences during the Azusa St. Centennial that forever changed the hand that occupied the musical glove. In a sense, it became his inaugural work. Followed by Fight for My Soul,and now, as of yesterday in the United States, Signs.
And his sophomore, post-deluvian work is, to my mind, his best, and perhaps his best ever.
The album opens up with Make it Move A hopeful song that simply talk of putting feet to your prayers. As an opener (assuming you're not consumed with the Gen-x/Millenial, iPod Shuffle approach to listening to albums) it sets the tone: No drums, but foot-stomping percussion and maybe a snare if some kind. The implication being that the tempo is not set by the artificial.
Next is Snakes, a cautionary tale of adversaries of all kinds. This also is galvanized by a pentatonic-based riff and a vintage sounding amp.
Something ain't right . . .
The primary riff and melody in this chorus, sung in the powerhouse falsetto that falls in the Prince/Steven Tyler school of vocal delivery.
Songs like What You're made of and Stronger Together respectively deal with the character of mankind and the sum total of what happens when we dwell together in Unity. The latter is the most commercial of the songs on the album, and while lyrically amazing, is nowhere near my musical heart.
Bitter End is a slow-burn hit waiting to happen–a song asking when will mankind stop repeating history's worst errors (although I am of course assuming that the music industry isn't a sham–kind of like the motorcars at disneyland that run on a track; you THINK you're steering, but really) . . . if this thing were given the airplay that "Stronger Together" is being given, it is this obscure hacks's opinion that it would find it's way into the contemplative hearts of many.
Wisdom has all the blues and foot-stomp tradition of the opener–a slow-tempo song about young men's folly. And nearly my favorite song on the record.
Bring Me Back Home is a song that appears to be written to Jonny's wife, but that's only my cheap-seat assessment. Larger message is: Marriage and family are first.
The final song, Singing Songs, employs the grandiose, string-laden, melodic approach that might drive been inspired by a Broadway play–it has an almost Spanish-flamenco undertone, and a Hernando's Hideaway rhythmic approach–although much slower.
Lastly, Jonny's voice. There is no voice on the planet like that. How a white kid from the Minneapolis/Fargo regions comes off sounding like some grizzled hybrid of an old, whiskey-soaked black man and Prince Rogers Nelson is beyond me. The production values keep his voice sounding organic–and I've seen him seven times; trust me: he REALLY sounds like that.
If I have any complaints it would be this: Jonny seems to like the technique of using the "over the telephone" effect to, I guess be the "other voice" in a lyrical conversation. I find it distracting, but that's probably just me.
The other has to do with the guitar playing that has set him apart since he went gold at 15 years of age: the last three records have defaulted to a lead guitar tone that seems to be on the cusp of power, but never fully takes off. As player and listener, knowing exactly what that man is capable of, it forces me into the frustrated posture of wanting to finish a sentence for someone whose voice is cracking. However, my theory is, he's subtly trying to make sure the song as whole is not offset by the guitar-god status conferred upon him early.
Still, I give this album four stars. The worldviews expressed are clear. And they point NORTH.
Those who would express disillusionment that Jonny's not making a straight gospel record should read Psalm 59.
Those who think he has departed from the blues should read the same.

Of particular significance are Sections 1(a) and 1(b) of the new law, which foreshadow further legislative changes based on recommendations from the NCAA "working group" created in May 2019. The working group was established to examine the impact of permitting commercial use of a college student-athlete's publicity rights, so that the California legislature can "ensure appropriate protections are in place to avoid exploitation of student athletes, colleges, and universities."[2] We anticipate the NCAA will have much to say on that topic given its staunch resistance to the new law, so future legislative changes could impact the practical value of the opportunities for brands that are banking on this new pool of potential influencers and brand ambassadors.
Another issue that must be resolved early is the perceived inequity this law creates among NCAA Division I and II programs. As California institutions will now have a unique premium appeal to prospective student-athletes looking to tap into the new revenue stream, the remaining 612 NCAA Division I and II athletic programs are left with nothing comparable to offer. Indeed, this inequity has already led to similar laws being introduced in other states. In addition, the NCAA has plenty of time to develop further administrative regulation that would severely limit the opportunities the Fair Pay to Play Act seemingly creates. Note however, under the new law, the NCAA may not prevent California colleges from participating in intercollegiate athletics as a result of a student-athlete receiving compensation for her publicity rights. It will be interesting to see how the NCAA responds to this law outside California.
On the other side, brands and ad agencies have their own set of considerations before baking new collegiate athlete publicity campaigns into their 2023 marketing budgets. For example:
Cost. The Fair Pay to Play Act opens the door for brands to partner with student-athletes, but also permits student-athletes to be represented by attorneys or agents, making negotiations more sophisticated, lengthy and costly. These expenses are a gamble given the uncertainties in how the new law will be interpreted and enforced.
Conflict. Student-athletes have obligations to their academics, team and coaches that could prohibit or restrict a meaningful ability to commercialize their publicity rights.
Compliance. Brands must stay current on new restrictions introduced at the college or NCAA level through administrative regulations and private contracts, which may prohibit or restrict certain activities and make the resulting publicity rights less valuable.
Collaboration. The use of collegiate sports mascots, logos and other branding elements as part of a student-athlete publicity campaign could amplify the ROI for brand partners. However, colleges are historically selective in licensing out those brand elements, and such licenses typically contain category and geographic exclusivity provisions. Accordingly, brands should plan early and be prepared with appropriate licenses at the institution level to realize the most value from a promotional relationship with a particular student-athlete.
The new law is only the first quarter in a long game with many stakeholders, and discussions about the ramifications of the California Fair Pay to Play Act will continue to take center court. As a result, we expect major shifts in the collegiate sports legal and competitive landscape over the next three years. In fact, similar game plans to the Fair Pay to Play Act are already in motion, as Florida Representative Kionne McGhee-D filed HB-251[3] in the House of Representatives on September 30, which would allow Florida collegiate student-athletes to make commercial use of their own publicity rights. The proposed law would take effect on July 1, 2020.
At the federal level, U.S. Representative Anthony Gonzalez (R-Ohio), a former wide receiver for the Ohio State University Buckeyes, is already planning a bill to allow compensation to student-athletes in all states for licensing their publicity rights. This would be an interesting move by the federal government into the right of publicity space, since publicity and related privacy rights have historically been regulated by the individual states.

Home Naltrexone Addiction and Abuse Is Naltrexone Addictive?
Is Naltrexone Addictive?
Is naltrexone addictive? Is naltrexone a narcotic? How does naltrexone work? These are all questions people commonly have about this prescription medication. It's important to understand how naltrexone works if you or someone you love is struggling with addiction to opioids or alcohol. Naltrexone is a promising medication to help combat opioid addiction as well as alcohol use disorder. Despite the benefits of naltrexone, it still requires comprehensive treatment.
Opioid Abuse
There is an opioid epidemic occurring in the U.S. Drug overdoses in 2016 killed more Americans than the entire Vietnam War. In 2016 it's estimated that as many as 65,000 people died from drug overdoses. Even as lawmakers and health officials try to find solutions to the tens of thousands of lives lost each year from opioids, the numbers continue to rise.
Why are opioids so dangerous? These drugs bind to opioid receptors in the central nervous system which cause a euphoric high, but also respiratory depression. That respiratory depression can cause a coma or death during an overdose. There is no way to know what's being bought on the streets, either. Increasingly, many products are laced with fentanyl, which is highly potent and deadly. Opioids are problematic not just because of respiratory depression, but also because they're extremely physically and psychologically addictive. Once someone takes opioids, whether it's prescription painkillers or heroin, there are certain chemicals released in the brain that trigger a very rapid descent into addiction. It's easy and takes very little time for many people to lose control of their intake of opiods.
Dealing with an opioid addiction typically requires a comprehensive treatment program, because of the complexity of addiction. Naltrexone is one potential component of a treatment program. Naltrexone is a prescription medicine that can be used in medication-assisted treatment or MAT. Naltrexone is FDA-approved to aid in opioid addiction as well as alcohol use disorder. This medication is available as a pill and also a once-monthly injection.
What Is Medication-Assisted Treatment?
Medication-assisted treatment refers to the combination of behavioral therapy and medication to treat a substance abuse disorder. Naltrexone is a prescription drug that when combined with behavioral therapy and counseling can deliver a holistic approach to substance use disorders. Combining medication and therapy-based treatment often proves the most successful way to treat these disorders.
When someone takes naltrexone, it works by blocking the effects of opioids. It binds to the same receptors as prescription painkillers or heroin. If someone were to use drugs while on naltrexone, they wouldn't feel the effects of the drugs. Naltrexone is classified as an opioid antagonist. There's no way to get high from the use of naltrexone on its own. If someone tried to overcome the blocking effects of naltrexone with a high dose of opioids or alcohol, it could be and often is deadly. When opioids are taken with naltrexone, it can also trigger immediate withdrawal symptoms.
When someone is prescribed naltrexone they often take it in a monitored setting, such as at a drug treatment facility or in a clinic. It can be taken at home, but as was touched on above, it's so important that it be used in conjunction with a behavioral treatment program that deals with the underlying issues contributing to addiction.
With some forms of medication-assisted treatment, there is the fear that one addiction is being replaced with another. Methadone is an example. For some opioid addicts who begin a methadone treatment program, they become addicted to that substance. The use of methadone and similar opioid medications is meant to be done in a carefully supervised way, but drug misuse and addiction are still possible. This concern is why people frequently question whether or not naltrexone is addictive. The answer is no. Naltrexone isn't addictive because it doesn't cause people to feel high or euphoric when using it. All naltrexone does is block the effects of opioids or alcohol to reduce cravings and lower the risk of relapse.
Naltrexone can be a valuable resource in the fight against substance use disorder. It can be used as part of a medication-assisted treatment plan to help people who are addicted to opioids or alcohol because it blocks the effects of these substances and reduces cravings. As opposed to options like methadone, it's safer since it's not addictive. Despite the benefits, naltrexone doesn't prevent future relapses. It only works while a person is actively using it. An in-depth treatment program paired with naltrexone offers the best chance for a successful recovery.

Foley, Ala – Austin Hardman stood in an eight-way tie for second place after the first round of the NJCAA Division II Men's Golf Championship Monday.
Hardman, one of three T-Birds competing as individuals in the national event, posted a one-under-par 71 over the Glen Lakes G.C. layout. Jake Guess is tied for 44th with a 75 and Ryan Porter is tied for 72nd place following a 79.
Hardman was actually in the lead for a while until a double-bogey on the 464-yard par four seventh hole. That was actually his 16th after beginning his round on the tenth hole. He had three birdies and 12 pars over the first 15 holes before slipping on the seventh hole.
Hardman was named a second-team All-American Sunday at a banquet prior to the tournament.
The four-day event continues through Thursday.


Increasing the chances of getting pregnant by undergoing acupuncture is a myth, according to a new study.
A trial of more than 800 women who were trying to conceive using IVF (in vitro fertilisation) found no difference in success between those utilising the alternative treatment and those administered a sham.
Although acupuncture is not recommended on the NHS for women trying to get pregnant, it is estimated that many use it.
While the new study, conducted by a group of Australian research institutes, showed no benefit to pregnancy rates, acupuncture did assist the women's wellbeing while undergoing IVF, which can be a traumatic process.
The results were drawn from across 16 fertility centres in Australia and New Zealand and involved women aged between 18 and 42.
Patients were given either acupuncture, of a sham procedure where a non-insertive needle was placed away from parts of the body used in the ancient practice.
"While a short course of acupuncture may statistically be no better than sham at improving live birth and pregnancy outcomes, a psycho-social benefit from acupuncture was reported by women undergoing IVF," said Professor Caroline Smith, who chief investigator on the study.

Fort Lauderdale Film Festival
Watch an intelligent film for once.
Although the Fort Lauderdale Film Festival is geared more for adults, I think that it will greatly interest people who love independent film, filmmaking, foreign films, and documentaries or even those who are just curious about it.
This festival does not show your regular blockbuster Hollywood film and then compare how many millions each movie has made over the weekend. In fact, it's not about that at all.
It's about the art of storytelling on screen. Aren't movies about that – telling stories through moving pictures? Enticing the viewer to suspend disbelief and enter the lives of the characters on the screen. Films shown here can also be about issues that are current or something you've probably never heard of.
The prestigious Fort Lauderdale Film Festival, running now for the past quarter of a century, attracts celebrities and many independent filmmakers from the United States and from all over the world. The festival usually shows about 200 films during the month-long event at different venues.
I do have a soft spot for this festival. I'm personally fond of watching foreign and independent films from time to time. After a while, the mainstream film industry tends to produce movies that are not completely satisfying. The large budgets and special effects sometimes get overdone and simply get in the way of the actual story.
Watching an indie or foreign film can sometimes make me feel as if, for a couple of hours at least, I'm transported to the other side of the globe. One of the films I've discovered at the festival a few years back, and now one of my favorites, is The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (La Scaphandre et le Papillon) directed by Julian Schabel.
It is a visually mesmerizing film that tells one man's story of life and death and what matters most when we are alive. The movie was set in France and for a few hours I felt like I was there, living the drama along with the characters. Now that's good storytelling.
Not all the films presented during the festival are so serious (although truthfully many of them are). The festival also shows films for younger children. These movies come from all over the world and they get the kids acquainted to the culture of foreign and independent film.
Outdoor films for the whole family to enjoy are also planned during the festival. Hopefully they'll repeat the BOO-tacular Halloween event for kids at the Cinema Paradiso this year.
The Cinema Paradiso is the headquarters of the film festival. The art house theater building started its life in 1905 as a First Methodist Church. One of its latter transformations was as a theater run by Vinnette Carroll, an influential African-American actress, writer and director of Broadway.
The Fort Lauderdale Film Festival started showing films in the building in 1997 and renamed it Cinema Paradiso. Over the years, the film festival has grown and now shows festival films all over the county.
Throughout the year, along with regular film showings and other programs, the Cinema Paradiso hosts FAB! Films for Kids. This event is sponsored by Funding Arts Broward, and takes place every first Saturday of the month at 10 AM. The movies shown are varied ranging from animated to educational to classic fun.
