Doing research on how Native Americans used pumpkin to find interesting recipes made me wonder. How hard could a pumpkin shell become so that it could be used as a serving dish and seed storage?
According to my research, pumpkins may have saved early North America European settlers. Struggling after their first landings on the east coast and not prepared for harsh New England weather, Native American Indians taught European settlers basic gardening, hunting and cooking skills. One of the staples of their diet was pumpkin, a squash that was native to the ancient Americas.
Sweet pumpkin flesh was roasted, baked, parched, boiled and dried. Pumpkin seeds were roasted; at times also used as medicine. Blossoms were added to stews. Dried pumpkin was stored and ground into flour. Strips of dried pumpkin were woven into mats, cups and baskets for trade.
I baked a pumpkin to get the inside ready to make a pie and was intrigued. Pumpkin shells, once baked, become quite hard and impermeable, reminding me of a plant "leather."
Picking up the baked pumpkin, it was easy to imagine how it became an important part of their kitchen. It even holds water!
Pilgrims had another use. According to New England colleagues, hey used pumpkins as guides for haircuts, which gave them the nickname "pumpkinheads."
Can't you just see someone sitting on a stool getting a haircut with a sliced pumpkin on their head??

Q: Clear push notification badge after increment I am working on push notification in iphone. when i receive push notification, its showing 1 on my application icon, next time its 2,3,4. if i open application its 0. Next time its should be 1,2,3,4... but its showing last number and +1. i want reset push notification badge after open application. i am sending +1 from urban airship.
and its not working for me.
 [[UIApplication sharedApplication] cancelAllLocalNotifications];
 [UIApplication sharedApplication].applicationIconBadgeNumber = 0;

A: I use this code in my app because the Urban Airship (UA) documentation said to
[UIApplication sharedApplication].applicationIconBadgeNumber = 0;
[[UAPush shared] resetBadge];

but it doesn't work, the badge on the app icon keeps incrementing.  I saw a few posts on this very issue on UA's forums and they haven't given a clear answer.
EDIT #1:
I received the following response from a support technician at UA with the following suggestions, which worked great:
What you want to do, is ensure that in your didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions method, you are calling the following:
[[UAPush shared] setAutobadgeEnabled:YES];
[[UAPush shared] resetBadge];//zero badge on startup

and also call [[UAPush shared] resetBadge]; in the following methods as well:
applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application

and
didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo

The technician also mentioned that assigning 0 to applicationIconBadgeNumber is not necessary, so I took it out.  Still works beautifully.
EDIT #2:
I ended up having to modify application:didReceiveRemoteNotification: to include a call to UA's handleNotification:applicationState: method:
-(void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo
{
    // Get application state for iOS4.x+ devices, otherwise assume active
    UIApplicationState appState = UIApplicationStateActive;
    if ([application respondsToSelector:@selector(applicationState)])
    {
        appState = application.applicationState;
    }

    [[UAPush shared] handleNotification:userInfo applicationState:appState];
    [[UAPush shared] resetBadge];
}

because I was having a problem with the following scenario:

*

*User is in app

*Push notification received

*No badge was displayed on app icon when returning to home screen (as expected)

*Another push notification is received

*Badge displayed number greater than 1

With the modification above, this scenario is handled.  I guess you have to tell UA that the notification is handled when one is received and the app is running in the foreground.

A: I have used Urban Airship and  have had this problem before. You are not showing the code but i am assuming that when a notification is received, you are setting the application badge number to what urban airship is passing to you, don't do that.  Just let the application self handle this, when a remote notification comes in, let it auto increment on its own.  If that is not the case it could be that, on the urban airship side, you are setting a badge number to send with the push.  Do not send a badge number with the push notification, leave that part out, iOS should auto increment your badge from its current badge number.

Q: When to use composition or inheritence I came across the concept of interitence vs composition and did a bit of reading(mostly on the internet). So summarizing what I've learned.
Using inheritence can make your life easier since you do not have to re-implement the behaviors that does not need to change (not be overwritten). But if the behavior of the class grows / need changing, it can be a pain since you have to go through all of the classes that ahs overwritten a function from the base class.
Composition, on the other hand, keeps its component as a member variable, so there isnt a lot of dependency compared to inheritences.
My first question is, am I missing any important things in terms of pros and cons of either inheritence or composition?
And secondly, what are some examples where you would prefer one over another? The only one that I can think of is, 'if you need to inherit multiple classes, I should use composition instead of inheritences'. Or is it more subjective on when to use what?

It's definitely hard to keep up with all the different quick charging technologies. Most flagships use Qualcomm Quick Charge, some (like the Pixels) use USB-PD, and a few others use custom tech like OnePlus Dash Charge. Qualcomm Quick Charge 4 is over a year old at this point, but for one reason or another, most devices have stuck with QC 3.0.
With our latest update, we see more phones from familiar names: LG's V40, the Razer Phone 2, ZTE's new Axon Pro 9, the Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro and Mi A2, and the Pocophone F1. We've also got a couple of random brands (AGM, Qiku) you probably haven't heard of showing up in here. If you're wondering where Google's Pixel 3 phones are: they utilize the USB Power Delivery specification and do not have Qualcomm Quick Charge compatibility certification.


With the public backing of President Donald Trump, the House on Wednesday joined the Senate in approving a funding package for the military, health research, education, and labor programs of the federal government, as well as extending a temporary budget for certain agencies to avoid a funding lapse when the fiscal year ends on September 30. The vote was 361-61, following a 93-7 vote in the Senate last week.
"We're going to keep the government open," the President said at the United Nations in New York, turning aside the possibility that he might reject the bill, which would have lead to a partial government shutdown.
"This funds the military, this funds opioids, this does a lot of the things that we all want to accomplish together," said House Speaker Paul Ryan.
Signing this bill was not the first choice of the President and some more conservative Republicans, who wanted Mr. Trump to force a budget showdown with Democrats, using the threat of a shutdown at the end of the fiscal year to squeeze more money for his wall along the southern border with Mexico.
But Congressional leaders repeatedly warned against that strategy, worried it would boomerang against GOP lawmakers in the November mid-term elections.
The House vote means that Congress has completed five of the 12 bills which fund the operations of the federal government - departments and agencies funded by the seven remaining bills will be put on a temporary spending plan through December 7.
Speaker Ryan told reporters it was the best record on spending bills since 1996, which is the last time Congress got all of its budget work done on time, one of only four times in the last 44 years.
"We will have completed 75 percent of discretionary spending on time, first time in 22 years," Ryan said.
The vote came amid more and more talk in the hallways of the Capitol that the House will work through this Friday - and then go home until after the November elections.
The original House schedule for this year had lawmakers working the first two weeks in October - instead, this move would give GOP members more time to go home and campaign, as Republicans are in a tough fight to maintain control of both the House and Senate.
"The House polling we've seen - both public and private - was already pretty terrible for Republicans, but has gotten noticeably worse since Labor Day," said Dave Wasserman, an expert on House elections for the Cook Political Report.
While the House is expected to go home on Friday, Senate GOP leaders are talking about keeping the Senate in session, in order to keep certain Democratic Senators pinned down on Capitol Hill, limiting their campaign time back home.
The current House GOP plan is to finish with a flurry of votes on Republican bills which would make permanent a series of individual tax cuts signed into law at the end of 2017 by the President.
But that GOP messaging effort at the end of this week could well be swamped by the attention on the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh.

Natalie and Trevor planned to have a small and intimate wedding at Rockley Manor situated near the historic town of Marlborough in Wiltshire. The Grade II listed Manor House is a stunning, luxury wedding venue and I was very excited to be photographing their wedding. Rockley Manor is a privately owned wedding venue, dating from the eighteenth century and the grounds and interior of the manor offers fantastic photo opportunities.
I met Natalie on the morning of the wedding where she was getting ready in the beautiful Presidential Suite in the Manor. I had spoken at length to Natalie and Trevor about their wedding and knew they both wanted the day to be relaxed with family and for the photography to be as natural as possible. They had invited a small group of family to witness their outdoor wedding in the secret garden at Rockley Manor and they planned to have a larger party for all their friends the following day.
The sun was shining as Natalie and her son made their way from the Manor to the ceremony in The Secret Garden, close to the main building. The gardens are full of colour and texture with interesting statues and features. What a beautiful, quintessentially English wedding venue to be married, just such a gorgeous location and I hope to return.
If you are planning a wedding at Rockley Manor in Wiltshire and are looking for a photographer to cover your day in a natural and relaxed style, please get in touch.

Wonga Forced to Write Off Millions.
The FCA says it expects 99 per cent of the UK's payday lenders to cease operations when its cap on credit comes into effect in January. Interest and fees will be limited to 0.8 per cent a day and capped at 100 per cent and it will no longer be possible to roll loans over more than twice. Only around three or four companies – bigger players such as Wonga, QuickQuid and Dollar Financial, which make up 70 per cent or so of the market – are expected to stay in operation under the tougher rules, and consumer groups hope a fairer payday industry will take over with robust credit checks for customers.

Apple might lose its position as the most valuable company today. The company is expected to release its Q1 2016 earnings and analysts are seeing a dip in revenue for Apple.
Apple has been faced with series of challenges and those bottlenecks might have hurt its balance sheet. First is a slowing global economy. Particularly emerging and frontier market where Apple had bet on to grow its sales of cheaper iPhone such as the iPhone SE, the company plans to release in May.
Another major dent to Apple's revenue outlook is its battle with the FBI that ended up battering the company's image. The FBI unilaterally had gone ahead to hack the 'Bernadino' iPhone through suspectedly independent hackers' group. Coming at a time when Apple's iPhone SE and the latest iPad mini have not shipped, it therefore is a big setback for Apple.
Analyst are predicting the iPhone, the company's cash cow might have gotten a year-on-year fall in its sales. This is a first in the history of the iPhone and the investor community might be dumping some of their holding in Apple's shares for the first time.
In Q1 last year, Apple reported USD 58 billion in gross revenue and a net profit of USD 13.6 billion. This time around, analysts have predicted that Apple's Q1 2016 revenue will dip to 52 billion, representing a -10.3% in revenue. This is an indication that Apple might have a tougher Q2 bearing in mind that its iPhone SE and iPad Mini have not been commercially released.
Unlike Apple, Alphabet made and it is still making bigger bets. In its result, the company's recorded debts from bets are USD 633 million in Q1 2015 and USD 802 million; this is a growth of +21%. For Apple to make a big change to its revenue, it needs to make bigger bets. PageOne reported that Apple might be working on its iCar.
Apple's result today has alot to do with its status. Google was dethroned by Apple last week when the company released a weaker Q1 2016 result making its stock to tumble by nearly 5%.
We all look forward to Apple's result today.

Now is the Time to be an Operating Engineer
New York, NY—That's what the training director of Local 94 of the International Union of Operating Engineers said when asked about what advice he should give to anyone considering maintaining and operating some of New York City's tallest buildings.
Last week we interviewed Local 94's President, Kuba Brown, to talk about how the city's skyscrapers in the 1970s differ from the newer buildings rising up today and the types of skills operating engineers need to do their jobs.
On Tuesday afternoon, we interviewed on camera Local 94's training director Howard Styles at the union's training center on the West Side to find out the types of skills operating engineers are learning.
Styles has been the director of the center for over 10 years and said that each incoming new class in September averages about 1,000 students. When they start their training, the students learn the basics of building automation systems and control systems.
"Our courses that we teach are very varied; our members learn from simple things like fixing toilet fixtures to sophisticated equipment like building automation systems," said Styles.
In fact, standing nearby was a piece of trainer equipment built by the Massachusetts-based company Hampden, a leading manufacturer of education equipment for industrial training programs, where Styles said mimics different control variations in a building.
"This mimics what's popular in buildings [such as] variable air volume units, VAVs, as well as constainer systems," Styles said.
A new crop of students will be entering the program for the new semester, which runs from September to February. According to Styles, the training program runs for three years.
"When they enter, this is designed to be a three-year program with additional years if they want to advance their careers."
Some of the advanced classes allow students to pursue either certifications or new skills.
"The building owners and management institute [BOMI International] have their own certifications such as SMTs [Systems Maintenance Technicians] and SMAs [Systems Maintenance Administrator]. We also offer a college program in conjunction with CUNY where they can gain 15 college credits towards an associate's or bachelor's degree," said Styles.
After 10 years of providing training to thousands of students, Styles said it's often when former students come back to visit him and thank him for the comprehensive skills they've learned.
"This is what gives most of us teachers the passion to teach because when they come back and they let you know that what you've given them has been important in their life that's what makes teaching all the while worth it."
Styles noted when students graduate from the program, some of the very first tasks they'll be doing is operating and maintaining large facilities, troubleshooting problems when the lights, energy or gas isn't working. After they've mastered troubleshooting, Local 94 members will then have the chance to work towards becoming a chief engineer.
"There are individuals who have become chief engineers in less than four years; it depends on the individual and the opportunity that's available," Styles said.
The necessary and critical skills Local 94 members learn to keep New York City's skyline standing tall is the reason why they can earn a decent living.
"They have are a very good salary. They are very comfortable and most of our members own homes and are doing well for themselves," said Styles.
When asked if he had any advice to anyone considering becoming an operating engineer, Styles said they should enter the field right now.
"Enter. Enter now, this is the field to be in. It's safe, even with the catastrophes that we have faced [including] 9/11 and Superstorm Sandy we have kept nearly 100 percent of our members."

Action Comics #900 is quite simply a celebration of everything great about Superman as a character. The issue, throughout most of the stories, is a showcase of Superman's willingness to help and serve the human race primarily through self-sacrifice. Most of the recent anniversary episodes that we've seen, primarily through DC Comics, have been treated as anthologies with three or more short stories, one focusing on the end of a story arc, a couple of "untold tales," and then one that starts the next story arc in Superman #700 and Wonder Woman #600; either that or a one and done story like Batman #700.
This book, on the other hand, focused more than half of its attention on the wrap-up of Lex Luthor's Black Ring storyline by Paul Cornell and Pete Woods, and the return of Superman into Action Comics. Unfortunately, it also includes the recent Reign of Doomsday story arc, although in this issue it was a minor distraction, but still paled in comparison to the epic showdown between arch rivals Superman and Lex Luthor.

Pulse Propagation in Nonlinear Media and Photonic Crystals
Kimberg, Victor
KTH, School of Biotechnology (BIO).ORCID iD: 0000-0003-1269-8760
2006 (English)Doctoral thesis, comprehensive summary (Other scientific)
The present thesis is devoted to theoretical studies of pulse propagation of light through linear and nonlinear media, and of light-induced nuclear dynamics.
The first part of the thesis addresses propagation of light pulses in linear periodical media - photonic crystals. The main accent was put on studies of the angular properties of two qualitatively different types of photonic crystals: holographic photonic crystals, and impurity band based photonic crystals. The anisotropy of band structure, group velocity and pulse delay with respect to the light polarization are analyzed.
In the second part of the thesis a strict theory of nonlinear propagation of a few strong interacting light beams is presented. The key idea of this approach is a self-consistent solution of the nonlinear wave equation and the density matrix equations of the material. This technique is applied to studies of dynamics of cavityless lasing generated by ultra-fast multi-photon excitation. It is shown that interaction of co- and counter-propagating pulses of amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) affects the dynamics and efficiency of nonlinear conversion. Our dynamical theory allows to explain the asymmetric spectral properties of the forward and backward ASE pulses, which were observed in recent experiment with different dye molecules. It is shown that the ASE spectral profile changes drastically when the pump intensity approaches the threshold level. The effect of the temporal self-pulsation of ASE is studied in detail.
The third part of the thesis is devoted to light-induced nuclear dynamics. Time- and frequency-resolved X-ray spectroscopy of molecules driven by strong and coherent infrared (IR) pulses shows that the phase of the IR field strongly influences the trajectory of the nuclear wave packet, and hence, the X-ray spectrum. Such a dependence arises due to the interference of one (X-ray) and two-photon (X-ray + IR) excitation channels. The phase of the light influences the dynamics also when the Rabi frequency approaches the vibrational frequency, breaking down the rotating-wave approximation. The probe X-ray spectra are also sensitive to the delay time, the duration, and the shape of the pulses. The evolution of the nuclear wave packets in the dissociative core-excited state affects the dynamics of resonant Auger scattering from fixed-in-space molecules. One of the important dynamical effects is the atomic-like resonance which experiences electronic Doppler shift. We predict that the scattering of the Auger electrons by nearby atoms leads to new Doppler shifted resonances. These extra resonances show sharp maxima in the bond directions, which makes them very promising as probes for local molecular structure using energy and angular resolved electron-ion coincidence techniques. Our theory provides prediction of several new effects, but also results that are in good agreement with the available experimental data.

One-dimensional photonic crystals with continuous distribution of the dielectric constant were fabricated by the use of photopolymer materials and laser holography. The angular dependence of light propagation through the system was studied experimentally and theoretically. It is shown that the Brewster angles for different bands are different, in contrast to the conventional two-layer Bragg reflector with a step-like distribution of the dielectric constant. Comparison of the theory with experimental data allowed us to define the parameters of the hologram-the dielectric contrast and the shrinkage of the structure.

We investigate the transmission of short pulses through one-dimensional impurity band based photonic crystals. We found a strong dependence of the delay time on the angle of incidence. The delay time is larger for larger incident angles for the transverse electrical mode, while the delay time of the transverse magnetic mode has a qualitatively different angular dependence, especially in the region below the Brewster angle. The strong anisotropy of the delay time is traced to the anisotropy of the group velocity which is directly related to the angular dependence of the impurity band structure.

We develop a strict theory of nonlinear propagation of few interacting stronglight beams. The key idea of our approach is a self-consistent solution ofthe nonlinear wave equation and the density matrix equations of the materialbeyond the rotatory wave approximation. We assume a Fourier expansion ofthe density matrixwhich goes beyond the conventionalTaylor expansions of thepolarization over the field amplitudeswhich is inadequate for the field strengthsthat we are interested in. Two qualitatively different situations are considered,with and without phase matching. Unlike in our previous paper (Baev et al2003 J. Opt. Soc. Am. B at press) devoted to the three-photon (TP) absorptioninduced upconverted lasing, we obtain here a strict solution for the nonlinearinteraction between different light beams. The general theory is applied to anumerical study of the role of saturation in TP photoabsorption by an organicchromophore in solution.

A semiclassical dynamic theory of the nonlinear propagation of a few interacting intense light pulses is applied to study the nonlinear counterpropagation of amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) induced by three-photon absorption of short intense laser pulses in a chromophore solution. Several important results from the modeling are reached for the ASE process developing in the regime of strong saturation. Accounting for ASE in both forward and backward directions with respect to the pump pulse results in a smaller efficiency of nonlinear conversion for the forward ASE compared with the case in which forward emission is considered alone, something that results from the partial repump of the absorbed energy to the backward ASE component; the overall efficiency is nevertheless higher than for the forward emission considered alone. The efficiency of nonlinear conversion of the pump energy to the counterpropagating ASE pulses is strongly dependent on the concentration of active molecules so that a particular combination of concentration versus cell length optimizes the conversion coefficient. Under certain specified conditions, the ASE effect is found to be oscillatory; the origin of oscillations is dynamical competition between stimulated emission and off-resonant absorption. This result can be considered one of the possible explanations of the temporal fluctuations of the forward ASE pulse [Nature 415, 767 (2002)].

A dynamical theory is developed with the purpose of explaining recent experimental results on multiphoton-excited amplified stimulated emission (ASE). Several conspicuous features of this experiment are analyzed, like the threshold dependence of the spectral profile on the pump intensity, and spectral shifts of the ASE pulses co- and counterpropagating relative to the pump pulse. Two models are proposed and evaluated, one based on the isolated molecule and another which involves solvent interaction. The spectral shift between the forward and backward ASE pulses arises in the first model through the competition between the ASE transitions from the pumped vibrational levels and from the bottom of the excited-state well, while in the solvent-related model the dynamical solute-solvent interaction leads to a relaxed excited state, producing an additional ASE channel. In the latter model the additional redshifted ASE channel makes the dynamics of ASE essentially different from that in the molecular model because the formation of the relaxed state takes a longer time. The variation of the pump intensity influences strongly the relative intensities of the different ASE channels and, hence, the spectral shape of ASE in both models. The regime of ASE changes character when the pump intensity crosses a threshold value. Such a phase transition occurs when the ASE rate approaches the rate of vibrational relaxation or the rate of solute-solvent relaxation in the first excited state.

Temporal oscillations of amplified spontaneous emission of molecules are studied theoretically. From the proposed theory and numerical simulations, it is found that the self-pulsations originate in an interplay between stimulated emission and saturable absorption. A stability analysis demonstrates the crucial role of the photoabsorption in this process, which can be regulated by a proper choice of buffer molecules. Variations in the saturable absorption mediate a transition from damped oscillations to self-sustained pulsations. The role of propagation effects as well as of the interaction of co- and counter-propagating pulses is also investigated. Numerical simulations, demonstrating the theoretical findings, are performed for a model 3-level system and for an organic chromophore; 4-[N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N-(methyl)amino phenyl]-4'-(6-hydroxyhexyl sulphonyl) stilbene.

X-ray pump-probe spectroscopy is studied theoretically. It is shown that two-color-optical+x-ray-excitation with constant phase of the pump radiation exhibits strong interference between the one- and two-photon excitation channels. This effect is found to be large for both long and short pump pulses, while the interference vanishes for x-ray pulses longer than one cycle of the pump field. It is predicted that the spectral shape of x-ray absorption is strongly influenced by the absolute phase of the pump light. A strong sensitivity of the x-ray absorption and/or photoionization profile to the phase and detuning of the pump field is predicted, as well as to the duration of the x-ray pulse. Our simulations display oscillations of x-ray absorption as a function of the delay time. This effect allows the synchronization of the x-ray pulse relative to the "comb" of the pump radiation. The interference pattern copies the temporal and space distribution of the pump field. We pay special attention to the role of molecular orientation for the interference effect.

In this paper it is demonstrated that electron vibrational absorption of molecules driven by strong IR field provides rich physical interpretations of dynamical processes on a short time scale. The phase of an infrared field influences strongly the trajectory of the nuclear wave packet and the probing spectrum. It is shown that the probe spectrum keeps memory of the infrared phase even after that the pump field left the system. The phase effect takes maximum value when the duration of the probe pulse is of the order of the infrared field period, and can be enhanced by a proper control of the duration and intensity of the pump pulse. The phase effect is different for oriented and disordered molecules and depends strongly on the intensity of pump radiation. It can be an effective tool to study charge transfer processes like proton transfer in hydrogen bonded networks.

The water dimer driven by strong infrared field is studied in the two-vibrational mode approximation. A pump pulse excites the OH vibrational modes and creates a coherent superposition of vibrational states of the low-frequency OO mode. The solution of the Schrodinger equation in the adiabatic approximation shows a strong sensitivity of the OO vibrational wave-packet dynamics to the absolute phase of the pump field. This effect appears due to a break down of the rotating-wave approximation when the Rabi frequency of the OH vibrational transition approaches the frequency of the OH mode. The violation of the rotating wave approximation modifies considerably the interaction of the probe radiation with the laser-driven molecule.

Auger resonances of dissociating atoms in randomly oriented molecules experience large electronic Dopplershifts. We predict that when fixed-in-space molecules are considered there will appear extra Doppler resonancesresulting from the diffractional scattering of the Auger electrons by the surrounding atoms. Theseresonances show sharp maxima in bond directions, something that makes them very promising as probes forlocal molecular structure using current energy- and angular-resolved electron-ion coincidence experiments.

Doppler effects are now commonly observed for Auger resonances of dissociating atoms in randomly oriented molecules. The physics behind the, yet not observed, Doppler effect for fixed-in-space molecules is different in that there will appear extra Doppler resonances resulting from the diffractional scattering of the Auger electrons by the surrounding atoms. It is argued that as these resonances will show maxima in the bond directions their measurement by current energy and angular resolved electron-ion coincidence experiments will provide structural probing. It is also shown that the electronic Doppler effect caused by nuclear vibrations can be observed also for bound nuclear states making use of electron-ion coincidence measurements. Optimal conditions for such measurements prevail when the scattering duration is comparable with a vibrational period.

Stir fries are one of our go-to quick and easy weeknight meals. They're fast, simple, use up whatever you have in the fridge and they're seriously delicious.
But whilst in the past we would switch up the stir fry recipes week after week, for the last couple of months there's been just one stir fry recipe we've been using - and it's so good that we still eat it week after week after week.
We call it the Sticky Peanut Stir Fry. Technically name, clearly - but this recipe doesn't really have a proper name as it came about due to a bit of an experiment. I felt like making something new and wanted a mix of salty sweet flavours so I set to work in the kitchen with a random selection of ingredients to choose from.
I decided to keep things simple and went for three ingredients to make the sauce; peanut butter, coconut sugar and soy sauce (actually coconut aminos for this soy sensitive girl) and those three ingredients combined to make the most flavoursome stir fry sauce that's slightly sticky (and so so good with noodles or rice as it coats all of the veggies and whatever else you stir into it) and delicious and we've been eating it ever since.
And since I mentioned coconut aminos, I'll ask the question everyone always seems to ask me when I mention this awesome product; YES! Coconut aminos really does taste like soy sauce (in fact, I think it tastes way better and Jesse actually prefers it too) and is the perfect substitute if you're sensitive to soy like me. It's also paleo friendly, vegan, non-GMO, MSG free and has 65% less sodium than regular soy sauce so it's an allover better option!
Plus whatever stir fry additions you'd like! We usually use up whatever veggies are in the fridge and add in some chicken breast or lean beef strips if we want some additional protein and then either serve our stir fry over rice or mixed through cooked noodles/spaghetti through just before serving.
The sauce for this stir fry is really simple to make so I always prepare my stir fry ingredients first - grilling my chicken/meat if using, cooking my noodles/rice and steaming my veggies. Then I make the sauce, add in all of the other ingredients and mix everything together. I usually use the same pan for everything, just placing the cooked meat and veggies in a clean bowl on the side whilst I cook the sauce!
To make your stir fry sauce, add all of your ingredients into a sauce pan with a teaspoon of water. Mix your ingredients over a medium/high heat, allowing the mixture to bubble and the sugar melt, cooking until your sauce begins to turn golden and it starts to become "sticky".
Stir through your veggies/meat/noodles etc, adding a little water if needed for the sauce to coat your mix ins and allowing your stir fry to heat through.
Remove from the heat and pour into serving dishes.
But tell me, what are your favourite quick weeknight dinners?
And what's your favourite stir fry sauce/mix ins?
A stir fry is not a stir fry for me without carrot - I don't know why, but I just loveeeeeeee carrot in stir fries.
Mmmhmmm! I'd put this on EVERYTHING!
This was fantastic! My whole family loved this sauce. The first time I made it I had green beans, green onions, carrots, broccoli and edamame, served over rice. The second time I threw in cauliflower, red and yellow bell pepper and peanuts, served over noodles. I love that this sauce goes with anything! Thank you for a great addition to my recipe book!!
Yay! I am so glad you love the recipe, Sherri! It's one of our favourite stir fry sauces!


I'm a sucker for conchas!
Apparently Azules Coffee in Anaheim not only serves concha ice cream sandwiches, but now they've added a GIGANTIC ice cream sandwich to their menu.
The larger than life conchas are 10 times bigger than the regular sized pan dulces and are stuffed with a pint of ice cream. As if that wasn't enough sweetness in your life it's also dipped in a quarter pound of chocolate.
The only thing is you can't just walk in and pick one up. If you want to indulge in the ginormous conchas you'll have to pre-order in advance.

about why & how MARI® works!
Well, it is amazing how a symbol represents something, isn't it? The moment you discuss what the card/color selections could mean, you recognize their significance for you on a deeper level. It is not as if somebody tells or teaches you something you did not know, but now you can see it. The MARI® is a down-to-earth instrument, but when a person experiences this process he or she realizes that there is indeed a fruitful dialogue possible with our Inner Knowing…The MARI® is an encounter on another level – in another language even – resonating in our souls. A pathway to the Transpersonal Dimension is laid. I work with the MARI® in this way.
MARI® is an 'insight-full' process. It translates our ongoing unconscious inner dialog. MARI® brings to the surface an accurate, easily self-validated description of our current psychic process. It shows us in symbol and color that which our intuition begs us to pay attention. It gives us opportunity to apply inner awareness to everyday issues. It is like being able to recapture the momentary clarity of a lost dream that was here and then gone. Self-knowledge, focused with the MARI® process, is as good an integrative tool for writing one's own prescription for better endings and new beginnings than any process I've experienced in sixty-plus years of searching.
I have been using the MARI® Assessment for 12 years, in private practice for 7 years. The MARI® Assessment is a valuable tool: It gives me an integrative and evolutionary understanding of the Individuation process. I have been continually amazed by the scope and congruency of results in medical, psychoanalytical and transpersonal dimensions.
Everything in consensus reality pulls us away from ourselves. The MARI® brings us back to true ourselves. It pierces the veil, and once it is pierced, the outer constructed self just disappears. It is almost like instant revelation and transformation! The MARI® reveals information from the 'completed self.' Once we come from that place -a place of wholeness and completeness – it allows for instant understanding and mastery of the self. From this new place, clients are determined to work their lives because the new knowledge and understanding is now in their hands. Clients even provide their own guidance and solutions for their issues. I am amazed how well the MARI® process works. I use it with every client and can never go back to traditional approaches I used to use.
The training was much more comprehensive and in-depth than I had imagined. I feel I developed more self-knowledge in addition to learning about a tool that can help others also learn about themselves.
I was amazed by the accuracy and depth of the MARI® assessment. I was amazed by how much my specific marital issues were spotlighted, so as to give clarity and focus on specific resolutions. Shelley is extremely fluent in the interpretation of the MARI® to the extent that I felt she was looking into my soul. She also showed me how I revealed my soul, which she skillfully read.
This has been a life-defining experience.

Adaptation key for Bangladesh coach Domingo
Thread: Adaptation key for Bangladesh coach Domingo
NIL TANVIR

Domingo stressed he's looking to build a strong relationship with the players and hoping to improve the pathway for upcoming cricketers. © BCB
Russell Domingo, the newly appointed Bangladesh head coach, said on Wednesday (August 21) that he is ready to adapt with the cultural change as he takes the reign of a sub-continental set-up for the first time in his career. The former South African coach was handed a two-year contract by Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) after they parted ways with Steve Rhodes post the World Cup.
"We can't expect Bangladesh cricket to adapt to us, we've got to adapt to Bangladesh cricket. And we've got to find a way to make our processes and our systems work with the cricket organisation and with the players. So we might need to alter the way we go about things to fit in with the culture," Domingo said.
The 44-year-old arrived a day before to join the conditioning camp of Bangladesh ahead of their upcoming series against Afghanistan followed by a tri-series involving Zimbabwe. He had a brief interaction with the players and stressed that gaining trust is of utmost importance. "My immediate goal is to make some sort of connection with the players, to understand the players, build some relationships over the next week or two - I think that's massively important. Try and gain the players' trust, see how the players go about their work. It's very much an observatory role the next couple of days, to just see how they go about their business and take some learning from that," he pointed out.
The South African also pointed out that working at grass root levels is high on his agenda. "I think I am very aware of how important feeder systems are. That's where your next tier of players comes from. I want to place a lot of emphasis on monitoring the players just beneath the national side.
"After our series against Zimbabwe and Afghanistan, I'm hoping to go to Sri Lanka to watch the A side play - the A-side has a tour to Sri Lanka in the middle of September and I'm hoping to watch them in those games. It's impossible to watch all the cricket, there's no doubt about that. I've got to make sure I surround myself with the people I can trust, selectors who are going to give me good inputs, connect with the high-performance coaches, with the 'A' side coaches, and find out who they think the best players are that we can invite closer to the national side, but it's impossible to watch each and every game," he said.
Domingo is confident that Bangladesh can be a force to reckon with in the coming days despite the fact they were whitewashed by Sri Lanka in a three-match ODI series soon after their finishing eighth in the World Cup.
"I don't think they are a bad team because they lost to Sri Lanka. Touring straight after a World Cup is always going to be hard. Sri Lanka probably had a bit more to gain from it with a few players leaving, it was Lasith's last game, Kulasekara was given a farewell, they had a bit more to prove. While Bangladesh players - I was watching from the outside - had just come off a long World Cup and probably needed more of a break than they did, so I wouldn't read too much into the Sri Lankan series. The World Cup performances, I thought they played really well," he said.
"The log will say they ended seventh [eighth], I think they played better than that. And I've been in international cricket long enough to know that sometimes the results can hinge on a decision here and there, so it's not always a fair reflection of where you are as a team. There were a lot of positives to come out of the World Cup that they can build on going forward for sure. There are a lot of areas they can improve in, but there were a lot of positives in the World Cup."
Domingo believes Bangladesh lack in Test cricket due to the fact they don't play it regularly and that the Test Championship is a platform he would like to use to make a statement in the longer formats.
''It's hard to get any sort of rhythm in Test cricket if you're not playing that many matches. With the new Test Championship, it allows a team to focus a lot more on Test cricket. We know often Bangladesh play one or two-Test match series. Hopefully now there will be three-Test series, four-Test series, which gets them more into the format. Because so much focus there is on white-ball cricket, with the Test Championship, a lot of that focus now needs to move away from the World Cup and the 50-over format into Test cricket. So it will be a good start to put a lot more focus and emphasis on our red-ball skills in the next couple of months.
It's a massive opportunity for Bangladesh to compete regularly in Test match cricket. Their last match was maybe six months ago, we can hardly remember when it was. The more you play the better you're going to get in the format. That's probably where they have been lacking," he added.

Tell A Joke, Don't Pass Go, Pay $200,000
By: Gavin McInnes
I just had lunch with Québécois comedian Mike Ward. He didn't order anything, because he's been avoiding food after seeing himself on TV a lot these past few weeks. "I realized I was starting to look like a fat lesbian," he said while strongly resembling an obese K.D. Lang. "So I'm fasting."
Ward should watch what he says. That kind of insensitive joke has saddled him with more than $100,000 in lawyer's fees and a potential fine of another $80,000 (his case pops in and out of the news for no apparent reason, and we are in the midst of a pop-in).
In 2011, Mike made a joke about a popular kid known as "Le P'tit Jérémy" (little Jeremy), who was featured on Canada's equivalent of the Make-A-Wish Foundation. It had been several years since this terminally ill Treacher Collins syndrome patient became a national sensation. He broke hearts while singing "I Will Praise God" for the pope.
"It's five years later," Ward had said in his French Canadian slang, "and Christ, he's not dead yet." Ward insisted the kid is "unkillable," adding that he tried to drown the boy (who is now 19).
The joke doesn't translate to English very well and it looks terrible written down, but it's still pretty funny. I remember hearing Joan Rivers say a similar joke about people with AIDS. She claimed it was easier to do benefits before there was a cure, because you'd get a new crop of gays every year. Now that they've cured it, they just won't go away. I'm butchering it, but that's what happens when you rip jokes out of the grave and throw them on the autopsy table. They look creepy.
We'll Show You, Joker Man
Little Jeremy's parents were profoundly offended by Ward's joke and in 2012 they filed a complaint with the Canadian Human Rights Commission. The CHRC is an absurd government bureaucracy that began as a way to fight hate in a country globally known for being too nice. They ran out of villains about 40 years ago (the year they began), and have been taking down straw men ever since.
Anything that portrays a group in a negative light counts as a hate crime, and that includes things that are true.
If you're a Sikh and feel like the waitress took too long to get to your table, call the CHRC. If someone criticized gay marriage, the CHRC will make him pay. Did "Schindler's List" make you feel bad about being German? The CHRC wants to hear about it. Anything that portrays a group in a negative light counts as a hate crime, and that includes things that are true. In their world, hate speech includes hate facts.
The commission usually gets a settlement for a tenth of the price it costs to fight the charge, but occasionally they come across someone who is mad as hell and isn't going to take it anymore. Ezra Levant spent more than $100,000 defending his right to print the Mohammed cartoons in his newspaper (which later folded). He's been a pain in the CHRC's ass every since.
Comedians Try to Fight Back
Comedians are proving to be even more ornery. With hundreds of comedy clubs across the country and thousands of comedians making millions of jokes, the CHRC figured they'd find a lot of ways to meet their hate quotas—but they may have stepped on a hornet's nest.
You'll notice the government always gets the lion's share of the fine.
In 2007, amateur comedian Guy Earle mocked two lesbian hecklers who were sabotaging his show. "Don't mind that inconsiderate dyke table over there," he shot at the hecklers, "You know lesbians are always ruining it for everybody." The lesbians proceeded to ruin it for everybody by sicking the CHRC on Earle to the tune of $15,000. The comedian refused to settle "On issues of freedom of speech," and had to pay another $7,000 to one of the women personally.
You'll notice the government always gets the lion's share of the fine. When two lesbians sued a couple in upstate New York for not allowing a gay marriage in the couple's living room, the government got $10,000 and each lesbian got $1,500. America is almost as bad as Canada, with civil rights commissions deeming speech illegal and forcing everything from heavy fines to diversity training. The Ohio Civil Rights Commission decided the Pleasure Inn's "For Service Speak English" sign was unacceptable in 2005, and demanded they take it down.
Every Joke Is a Tiny Revolution
That brings us back to Mike Ward. Like Earle, he recognizes the dangers of policing satire. George Orwell said "Every joke is a tiny revolution," and if we can't lampoon the world around us, free speech is dead. Although everyone in comedy is presently talking about this case, Ward won't have an answer for another three to six months.
"I'll get the verdict via email," Ward says while rolling his slightly Oriental eyes, "Right next to spam for penis enlargements." As we saw with Lenny Bruce, cases like this chip away at a man's soul. It's precisely that kind of attrition the CHRC feeds on. It's a dangerous mental game, but without people like Ward drawing a line in the sand, we're all screwed.
'I could have settled early, but I just couldn't do it,' he said, sipping his diet Coke. 'I can't imagine having to pay some kid $5,000 for a joke.'
When he began this fight, it looked like the worst outcome was $180,000 or so, but no matter the verdict the other side is going to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada. That's good news. This is no longer about Mike and Jeremy. It's not even about Canada. It's about free speech in the West.
"I could have settled early, but I just couldn't do it," he said, sipping his diet Coke. "I can't imagine having to pay some kid $5,000 for a joke." So, as Jeremy's father caterwauled in court about the water in Jeremy's lungs when the boy was born (seemingly going for the PTSD verdict Earle's "victim" got), Ward sat in the witness stand and refused to budge.
The case has been going on for almost five years now, and the court is usually populated with comedians concerned about the future of their profession. "It's all comics and one retard," Ward said, describing the proceedings. "He hangs out there all day no matter what the case because it's free entertainment."
Mike then recalled a moment when the prosecution asked if everyone could hear the TV monitor and the mentally handicapped man underneath it blurted out, "I CAN HEAR IT JUST FINE!" He wasn't kidding, but the lawyer didn't get it. She sighed and muttered, "Great, another comedian," and the handicapped man stared, forlorn at the ground.
He had been hurt by the same institution that was supposed to be championing his cause. That's what happens when we let the state tell us what we can and cannot say. They inevitably do more harm than good.
Often called "The Godfather of Hipsterdom," Gavin is an old punk from Canada who founded VICE in 1994 and left to join the Right in 2008. He is a regular on Fox News, especially "Red Eye" and "Hannity." HIs most recent book is "The Death of Cool" and his most recent movie is "How to Be a Man." His columns regularly appear on Truth Revolt and TakiMag and his own site, Street Carnage (which also hosts his various podcasts). McInnes is an equal opportunity offender who has ostracized himself from just about everyone, which means he can't smoke pot without having a bad trip. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife and three kids.
