Quinoa vs Rice: Which Is Better for Health & Cooking
by Sara Seitz | Updated March 1, 2022
When it comes to which is better, quinoa vs rice, the answer will depend on if you're talking about health benefits or culinary uses, and whether you are looking at white rice or brown.

Humans have been cultivating and eating rice for over 12,000 years. Even today, this staple food is the most popular grain eaten around the world with well over 400 million metric tons consumed per year.
But just because something is well-established and popular doesn't necessarily mean it is the best out there. And when it comes to grains, there is one item, in particular, that is constantly being celebrated for its health benefits and culinary versatility.
And it isn't rice. In fact, it's not a grain at all!
So what exactly is quinoa and does it really live up to the hype? Let's take a look at this up-and-coming grain crop and see just how well it stacks up against the current king of cereals.

Called "the mother grain" by the ancient Incans, quinoa has long been celebrated by native American peoples for its taste, spiritual power, and adaptability. Despite being so highly regarded and having been around for thousands of years, this ancient food has only recently gained superfood status throughout the world.
While it is commonly considered a grain, quinoa is actually a seed from a plant closely related to beets and spinach. True gains come from grasses, but nutritionally speaking, both grains and low-fat seeds can be very similar.
Here is a quick break down of quinoa's nutritional profile per 1 cup cooked:
Total Calories: 222
Total Carbs: 39g
Total Sugar: 1g
Iron: 2.7g
Because of the high fiber and protein content of quinoa, it has a relatively low glycemic index at about 53, making it a great choice for those predisposed to diabetes and those trying to lose weight. This power seed also provides all nine essential amino acids which means it is a great choice for vegans and vegetarians.
Quinoa also contains a host of minerals such as iron and antioxidants like quercetin, which has been shown to reduce inflammation and may even fight cancer. Anti-inflammatory properties along with a high fiber content also means that quinoa can help lower blood pressure and stabilize blood sugar levels.
Quinoa is high in vitamin B6 and insoluble fiber, is a good source for calcium, and has a low fat content. This means that this food a great choice for bone health and for reducing your chances of cardiovascular disease.
Side Note: There are many different types of quinoa, with each offering something a little bit different in terms of nutrition. Red and black quinoa have more antioxidants than white quinoa. The differences between quinoa types doesn't have a huge impact of flavor or on the general health benefits of quinoa.
Quinoa is such a powerhouse of nutrition that it can be hard to find any flaws with it from a dietary standpoint.
But, the fact that it is considered a superfood does mean this cereal grain is more expensive than others. And, unlike rice, it does require some prep by soaking or rinsing to remove the bitter outer layer of saponin before cooking.

When we talk about rice that humans have been eating for thousands of years, we are talking about brown rice—which is simply the whole-grain form of the more modern staple, white rice.
Unlike white rice, brown rice still contains the nutritious germ and bran along with the starchy center. These retained pieces not only make brown rice nutritionally dense but also give it a noticeable chewy and nutty flavor.
While brown rice and white rice both contain about the same amount of sugar and starch, brown rice brings a lot more to the table.
Here is a quick look at the nutritional profile of brown rice based on one cup cooked:
In addition to providing plenty of fiber to aid in weight loss and helping you feel full, brown rice also contains plenty of vitamins and minerals to keep your body functioning the way it should. Like Quinoa, it is also packed with anti-inflammatory, disease-fighting antioxidants, especially phenols and flavonoids, two types of antioxidants that are very good at fighting oxidative stress.
Brown rice also tends to be inexpensive and available in bulk, which makes it a great choice for those on a budget.
Compared to quinoa, brown rice has less protein and slightly more starch. Brown rice is also much lower in certain amino acids, such as lysine, and isn't technically a complete protein on its own.
As the base of just about any American Chinese food order and a great substitute for wheat in gluten-free snacks, white rice has grown in popularity over the last century and a half. This sticky and familiar cereal grain is simply what is left when you remove the chewier bran and germ from the rice seed.
While it can't touch quinoa or even brown rice in terms of nutritional value, white rice does have a taste and texture that is hard to dislike. And, because it is a simple starch, it's uses in the culinary world are almost endless.
While white rice in its processed natural form is relatively devoid of nutrients compared to brown rice, it rarely hits the shelves this way. In fact, most white rice you will find at the grocery store or the local Chinese food joint has been enriched with synthetic vitamins and minerals.
Here is a quick look at the nutrient profile of one cup of cooked white rice:
Total Sugar: 0.2g
Iron: 0.4g for unenriched, 2.9g for enriched
The bulk of the benefits of white rice have less to do with nutrition and more to do with how versatile this processed grain is.
With the bulk of the fiber removed, white rice has a creamy, soft texture that lends itself well to flours, desserts, and a wide range of savory and delicious culinary dishes. It's this flexibility and pleasing texture that has led to more and more people opting for the processed version of this grain.
While white rice has a relatively low amount of fat compared to brown rice and quinoa, it can actually be detrimental to weight loss and overall health given the lack of fiber content and higher glycemic index. And, even enriched forms do not provide near the same amount of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants as whole grains and seeds.
If quinoa and brown rice are both packed with nutrition, which grain is actually better? This can be a difficult determination to make when talking in broad strokes. To truly choose a winner, we need to look deeper into the various ways one might want to rate each food.
Both these tasty cereal grains are packed with their own unique profile of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. And both are known to aid in weight loss, reduce the frequency of certain diseases, such as diabetes, and help the body heal from within.
But, in terms of protein content and completeness, quinoa is the healthier option. Not only does it have more protein overall, but it provides all essential amino acids on its own. It also contains more fiber than brown rice, which not only aids in digestion but can help keep you feeling fuller longer.
Quinoa is also the top performer when looking at important available minerals like iron and folate. These are especially important micronutrients for women and people eating a plant-based diet.
Side Note: If you're looking to add more nutrition to your plate but want to stick to rice, there are other types of rice to consider. Wild rice is the most nutritionally dense of any rice type. Pigmented rice varieties, which includes red rice and black rice, also have more to offer than standard brown rice.
In terms of taste, both these grains have a bit of a nutty flavor.
Quinoa is much smaller than rice and has quite a different texture. It isn't necessarily a grain you need to chew, which can detract some from the eating experience. Brown rice, on the other hand, is more substantial and has a pleasant, chewy texture.
While both these grains tend to get mushy if overcooked, it is more difficult to overcook quinoa. But, quinoa does require rinsing before cooking to remove the natural bitter taste. If you skip this step, the result can be noticeable and unpleasant.
Both of these cereal grains can be used in a wide variety of dishes, from sweet to savory. Quinoa and brown rice are fairly interchangeable within recipes as well, though you can expect a slight texture change.
In terms of home cooking, quinoa takes much less time to prepare at about 20 minutes compared to 45 for brown rice. This can make it a better choice for weeknight dinners or last-minute meal prep.
Overall, the taste and texture of brown rice may be more familiar in traditional dishes than quinoa, but both can easily be incorporated into a wide range of meals and interchanged to put a new spin on an old classic. If you are feeling extra adventurous, you can even mix the two for a grain-based dish that is as visually pleasing as it is tasty.
When it comes to quinoa verse brown rice's more processed cousin, white rice, there is no real contest in terms of health. But that doesn't mean quinoa is a shoo-in to win the categories of taste and culinary use.
Here, quinoa is a clear winner. In fact, any whole grain, including brown rice, is going to knock white rice out of the park if all you are considering is nutritional value.
In addition to being relatively devoid of natural vitamins and minerals, white rice just does not bring that much to the table in terms of protein, fiber, or even healthy fat. It is made up almost entirely of simple starches that break down quickly in the gut and cause blood sugars to rise fast.
White rice is also a highly processed food as far as grains go, meaning that it is a far cry from the natural grains and seeds our digestive tracts have evolved to process. This may be one reason why white rice is so closely linked with metabolic disorders like diabetes and weight problems.
The competition gets a little murkier when you try to compare the taste of these two foods simply because they are so different. While quinoa and brown rice share some similar flavor features and white rice and brown rice do as well, quinoa and white rice are just too far removed from one another.
While quinoa has a sort of nutty, almost sesame flavor, white rice tastes like pure, simple starch. It has a very mild flavor that is easily influenced by whatever other flavors are in the dish. And this is one reason it is so popular.
The texture of the two is also very different, with even al dente white rice having a smoother, squishier feel than quinoa.
It's that very simple flavor and mutable texture that make white rice so popular in the culinary field.
If the star of the dish is meant to be the spices or another ingredient, white rice is a great supporting character since it will never overshadow the other foods in the recipe. This is very different from quinoa, which tends to attract a lot of attention, both for its taste and texture.
While both of these grains are gluten-free, the versatility of white rice when made into flour also gives it a leg up when it comes to cooking gluten and wheat-free meals. However, it is now easier to find quinoa flour and quinoa flakes, both of which can be used easily in gluten-free baking.
As far as use in your own kitchen, both these foods take about the same amount of time to cook. Both are easy to prepare and store, as well.
Overall, white rice will likely always hold a place in the culinary world for its mild taste and wide-ranging uses, but quinoa is a much better substitute if your focus is on health and nutrition.
In the end, quinoa really does live up to the hype. It is a versatile, tasty seed packed with nutrients and protein that deserves a place in your healthy diet. But brown rice deserves an honorable mention for its own health benefits and does not need to be replaced entirely by quinoa in your pantry.
White rice, on the other hand, should find its way out of your kitchen if your goal is to eat healthier, lose weight, or just plain feel better. Or, at the very least, save it for those few special recipes where only the starchy goodness of white rice will do.

Beyond Bechdel-Wallace: Designing a Gaming Metric
Alex George Kazakevicius Mehrtens, Southern Illinois University CarbondaleFollow
Mass Communication and Media Arts
Johnson, Phylis
The video game as a medium is young compared to film or literature. As such there is less research available on the subject, particularly in the area of video game criticism related to sexualization and gender issues that underscore stereotypical portrayals of women, ethnicity, and overall gender roles. What research there is regarding video games primarily uses still images or short gameplay segments as data sources. Given the long form narrative that many video games employ to engage players, such data sources do not give a full picture of the video game's content. The purpose of this project is to create a tool that can be used by academics and industry professionals to collect data on various aspects of video game content easily and reliably. Inspired by the objectivity and unambiguous construction of the Bechdel-Wallace test, the Prototype Stark Gaming Metric (pSGM) has been constructed following the same principles. The pSGM is an instrument of various categories informed by previous media research. These categories are then coded to reflect a video game's content that is "typical" and "atypical" (as defined by previous research). Once coded, the metric produces a single numeric value representing what amount of a video game's content is "typical" or "atypical." The metric was applied to two contemporary video games to both assess the usefulness of the metric's coding itself and reveal any major issues with the method, coding system, and coding categories.

Tank Hill
The Twin Peaks Alternative
Tank Hill is one of our insider secrets; even most locals haven't been up here. But the view of San Francisco is amazing and the tour buses are missing!
City View from Tank Hill
Right near Twin Peaks is another little hill, tucked into an attractive San Francisco neighborhood.
The panorama isn't 360, but it's got a gorgeous view of downtown San Francisco, Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge. You can see across the bay to Oakland and Berkeley as well.
Not many people go there, so you may have it all to yourself. Even on a sunny weekend there may only be a couple of others there.
View Looking Towards the Bridge
Tank Hill sits at a 650 foot elevation, well below Twin Peaks at 922 feet, but the views are almost as good, I think, and much less crowded. Plus getting there is definitely easier, either driving and parking, or taking public transportation.
Tank Hill, Twin Peaks and Mount Sutro

History of Tank Hill
Tank Hill gets its name from the water tank that used to be up there. The tank was built in 1894, then removed in 1957.
The little park on top of this rocky outcropping had a close call in 1977; developers wanted to put 20 houses up there, but fortunately the city purchased the land and turned it into a park.
Tank Hill...Easy to Miss
Exploring Tank Hill
The park at the top is quite small, so it doesn't take long to see all of it.
Tank Hill Park
The views are fantastic, and for the young at heart, there are two rope swings to play on. Unfortunately, the swings come and go, like many of the rope swings in San Francisco parks; you may get lucky and find them there!
One of the Rope Swings
Climbing the Hill
There are two ways to get up the hill: a wooden staircase and a path with rough wood and dirt steps.
The stairway. On Twin Peaks Boulevard at Crown Terrace, there is a short-ish staircase that takes you to the hilltop.
Tank Hill Stairs
The path. On the other side of the hill, where Belgrave Avenue dead ends into the hill, there are a series of rustic steps that wind up to the top.
Tank Hill Steps
Tip: I think the wooden staircase is the easier and much shorter climb.
Getting to Tank Hill
Either driving or walking, you can use "Tank Hill" to GPS it.
Directions for driving and walking:
Park either on Twin Peaks Boulevard, which runs along the side of the hill, or on Belgrave Avenue.
I suggest Twin Peaks Blvd; finding a parking place there is a lot easier and you can use the shorter stairs for the hill.
Parking for Tank Hill
Take the N-Judah muni streetcar from Market Street downtown (underground) and get off at Stanyan and Carl Streets. Walk to the end of Stanyan (south), then go left on Belgrave to the end of the street. It's about 8 blocks to walk it, and goes through a pretty neighborhood.
Or take the 37-Corbett bus to Clayton and 17th Street. Walk south on Clayton, then right on Twin Peaks Boulevard until you get to Crown Terrace where the stairs are. It's about three blocks.
You can catch the 37-Corbett bus at Market and Castro. From downtown, take one of the K, L, M or T Muni streetcars under Market Street, get off at the Castro Street stop, then take the 37-Corbett.
Map of bus and Muni stops for Tank Hill SF
Tank Hill is just down from Twin Peaks. Across the street from the Tank Hill stairs, you can look up and see part of Twin Peaks where the towers are (and one of the tour buses, if you look closely).
Just Below Twin Peaks
Note: I may earn a small commission if you make a purchase through the link below, at no extra cost to you. This helps me provide all the free information I post on this website.
If you want to explore this area with a guide, including Twin Peaks and the magical Mount Sutro eucalyptus forest nearby, there's a walking tour that takes people to a number of neat spots in this area, along with the weird and fun Seward Slides.

NCG TOP 100s Spain
There are five courses above Real Club Valderrama in our Continental European Top 100 but it is entirely possible that for the majority of golfers, this would be the most coveted round in our ranking. Valderrama has an aura, a status and a mystique that only a few courses around the world possess. Its lustre and buzz may have faded ever so slightly since the halcyon days of being the first European course to host the Ryder Cup, but it is still unquestionably a green fee ticket to savour.
Whether that allure comes from its Marmite design among the omnipresent cork oaks, from its fabled level of presentation, from its Ryder Cup heritage or from its colourful history, there is a common link to them all; Jaime Ortiz-Patino.
The Bolivian industrialist bought the Los Aves course – initially known as Sotogrande New owing to the fact it neighbours Sotogrande Old – in 1985.
He brought in the era's biggest name in architecture, Robert Trent Jones, to overhaul his new purchase and by 1988 the newly named Valderrama staged the first of its multiple Volvo Masters.
There are as many as 5,000 cork oaks, lining fairways, in fairways, in bunkers, and more pertinently of all, in your mind.
Great tales abound of this period: Patino asking for astonishing membership fees of £750,000 (in today's money)…and getting them; when a cow wandered on to a fairway prior to the first Volvo Masters legend has it that he shot it; when it looked as if Las Brisas was slated to get the 1997 Ryder Cup, he found a way to land the matches at the last minute.
Patino's prize was Seve's captaincy, Tiger's debut and a rain-soaked but dramatic final day that put Valderrama on the map worldwide, where it remained for over a decade.
Its star had waned a little by the time of Patino's death in 2013 but American architect Kyle Phillips – a Trent Jones protege – had already been drafted in to revise his master's work and in tandem with conditioning that has legendary status, Valderrama regained its allure.
What has never altered is its challenge. A mid-range 6,500 yards off the white tees and not much more than 6,000 off the yellows, few courses are less in need of length to test players than Valderrama. It probes all aspects of the game relentlessly and rarely veers from Trent Jones' 'Hard par, easy bogey' philosophy.
The most obvious reason are the infamous cork oaks. There are as many as 5,000, lining fairways, in fairways, in bunkers, and more pertinently of all, in your mind.
With your putter, fail to detect the subtle borrows and your ball is carried dispiritingly wide of the hole by the slick surfaces.
They reduce your margin for error to infamously small levels and playing here requires one to adopt a different type of game than many of us are used to. Valderrama requires finesse not force, precision over vigour; imagination before perspiration.
The challenge does not end there though. Only four par 4s are under 400 yards and there are only three par 5s to attack. The greens and their surrounds make it very easy to turn a chance of a par save into a double bogey.
With wedge in hand you have to contend with either a deep-pile carpet of 'first cut' rough, a thicker outer rim or tightly-mown aprons. With your putter, fail to detect the subtle borrows and your ball is carried dispiritingly wide of the hole by the slick surfaces.
So, there is every chance higher-handicappers and those unwilling to adapt could have an underwhelming time here. Adapt and enjoy the creativity required to prosper – finding yourself punching a 5-wood under branches – and it is one of the continent's most memorable experiences.
It is an all-consuming start both in terms of the unremitting challenge and the feeling of being fortunate to be undertaking the examination.
This truly is millionaire's golf, where the trees offer isolation on every hole and from only the highest points do you peer over their tops and see any residence.
It begins exactly as you'd expect, a tight avenue down which to drive from a row of tees that resemble a snooker tables sitting higher than the fairway like an inviting launch pad. Not for the last time in the day reaching for driver is a decision you might soon lament. It turns to the right as it sweeps gently round to a green that is noticeably long and almost preposterously narrow.
The 2nd is named El Arbol 'The Tree' due to the pine in fairway. It turns in the same direction, even more acutely and so it is easy to nudge yourself out of position with something even vaguely offline, for the gap between the trees at their peak – where you fly your approach – is narrow and the further left your drive slides, the more slender the gap becomes on the angle. The green slopes back to front and you need the touch of a surgeon to hold the green if chipping onto it.
The cute par-3 3rd is played downhill with absolutely no future for a miss to the left of an oval-shaped green that feels like it is no bigger than a coffee cup coaster.
Then comes the all-world par-5 4th. 'La Cascada' is 'picture postcard' stuff, with an elevated, tiered green draped on the edge of the waterfall below.
It is an all-consuming start both in terms of the unremitting challenge and the feeling of being fortunate to be undertaking the examination. Happy smiles verging on smug are never far away from your lips.
Some respite arrives at the 5th and also the 6th, a gorgeous par 3 even if the latter is well bunkered (six); these are two holes to be enjoyed rather than endured.
The 7th offers a wide driving area but narrows the further you hit it; a gorgeous straight hole that oozes class. The slopes makes the green akin to putting on glass.
The short, downhill 12th is arguably the best one-shotter, a simple, gorgeous par 3 with bunkers surrounding a tiny, acutely-sloping green.
The controversial 8th is a sporty par 4 where the trees sneak in from the left pushing you right where you are then snookered under oaks with bunkers in front of the green preventing a running escape. The heart-shaped green has a little mound in its centre that slopes front to back.
The nine ends with a solid par 4 up to an elevated green, one of the toughest two shotters on this half. The green repels anything short to the point of humiliation like another well-manicured 9th, inconspicuosly located at Augusta National.
'El Lago' begins the back nine, playing downhill as it turns left-to-right. Water lurks on the right and the left-to-right slope in the land encourages your ball into it. It then turns steeply uphill to a green that is so hard to hold when approaching with a 5-iron.
Now there is a sudden change of feel, because the 559-yard 11th, 'El Sueno', is an uphill hole littered with sand a la Chart Hills or Penha Longa. At the end lies a seriously small, narrow green surrounded by bunkers, slopes and mounds. No easy birdie is made here but there is also tremendous 'top of the world' view.
The short, downhill 12th is arguably the best one-shotter, a simple, gorgeous par 3 with bunkers surrounding a tiny, acutely-sloping green and a steep fall-off to the left that you need to locate with a fairway wood or long iron.
The 13th – 'Sin Bunker', no bunkers – is one of the holes where you're more than likely to find yourself manufacturing an approach from under branches. It dog-legs to the right at 90˚ where trees overhang meaning a clear shot in is so rare.
And despite the inherent difficult of Valderrama, surely almost everyone reading this will want to savour this experience for themselves.
The tee of the 15th offers a spectacular mountain view over the tree tops and is played downhill between trees that form a V-shape for you to hit through to a more open green akin to Augusta, while its name, 'Muy Dificil', gives you an idea of the 16th. It turns right to a green defended by sand and run-offs.
That takes you to the last of the stellar par 5s, 'Los Gabilones'. It was here in 1997 that Tiger putted into the water and it has been revised more times in its life than the American has had Ryder Cup partners.
Phillips' latest renovation has returned it to close to the hole Trent Jones initially envisaged – one akin to Augusta's 15th – but was not able to produce. You drive over the summit of the hill to get a view of the amphitheatre green and then must decide whether to have a crack in two over the lake that eats in from the left, or lay up.
The green slopes right to left with typically subtle borrows but none are more extreme or unforgiving than those at its front…unless you are safely on the surface, your ball will roll back into the water.
The last, 'Casa Club', has an almost an S shaped fairway and this awesome par 4 of 456 yards is a three-shotter for almost everyone reading this. And despite the inherent difficulty of Valderrama, surely almost everyone reading this will want to savour this experience for themselves.

This Small Austin Based Hedge Fund Founded By A Polish Entrepreneur Is Beating Market By Recognizing Growing Moats
Posted By: Mark Melin Feb 28, 2019, 10:19 am
Lukasz Tomicki, the founder of Austin, TX-based LRT Capital, had a life-changing moment after he achieved a degree of success. This led him into the hedge fund business where his emerging strategy has outperformed the major stock and hedge fund indices, he told ValueWalk. How the fund outperforms "the markets" speaks to recognizing a long term trend in growing a "moat" and his nimble size.

Tomicki, born in Warsaw, Poland, immigrated to the US as a child, attending high school in Missouri. It was here his entrepreneurial spirit and eye for opportunity was on display started a software company, LobbyAssist, that tracked legislation and campaign finance at the state level. He and his high school buddy partner teamed up with a Midwest lobbyist, patented the process, and scaled the software to cover 50 states in four years. He sold the business in 2010, "at a time before the SAAS (software as a service) business model was popular," he told ValueWalk, then quipping in true hedge fund fashion: "I should have waited until it became more popular and those companies were selling at 8X revenue."

Screenshot from the LTR investor letter "The vision to see economic moats."
After earning enough money to live comfortably the rest of his life, Tomicki traveled the world, then came back to the US where he earned an MBA at Washington University as he began exploring different investing and trading strategies. In college, he experimented with every strategy he could find, including long / short, options, currency and futures trading. Looking back on his life, this was the point the lightbulb went off as he was trying to figure out his next move.
He was significantly influenced by the George Soros book "Alchemy of Finance" and found a particular section that addresses the role of expectations at setting prices fascinating. The insight that expectations move faster than fundamentals explains why stock prices can move so far and fast, and he formed an investment execution strategy largely based on this and other insight on competitive advantage he saw.
In 2012 he launched the fund with 1/3 of the money his own and the balance from his partners at LobbyAssist. The fund doubled its assets under management in 2018 but still falls under the SEC's exempt manager program for firms with under $25 million under management, which gives him a perceived advantage. "A plethora of research has long shown small hedge fund managers outperform their large counterparts over the long term," the fund's website explains.
Tying in both the Soros book and his experience at building a business with a competitive advantage, this led to his love for a value-based investing strategy that is forward-looking based on expectations around a company's "moat."
"I really like thinking about businesses more than I like working in them," he mused, pointing to a love for financial metrics and an eye for a business with a growing competitive advantage.
He started to search for companies that had a competitive moat, but importantly one that was growing. A company that has an established moat has that priced into the stock – but a growing moat is where expectations and the stock price rise rapidly. Today he looks at the stock of Apple Computer, for instance, and says that firm's moat has played out, its innovation cycle is likely to start to slow.
One company he likes is one that few have heard of, Watsco, one of the world's leading distributor of air conditioning, heating and refrigeration equipment and supplies. The company is not as well-known or "sexy" as Apple – one wouldn't mention the stock at a party, for instance – and that's the point. "There is no automated or quantitative process that would lead a person to find Watsco," he wrote in a letter to investors titled "The vision to see moats." He said it was the long=term company and industry dynamics that led him to this stock, one of only 25 he keeps in a low turnover, concentrated portfolio.
While he doesn't think quantitative, computer-driven investing is, by itself, the answer, he relies on quantitative analysis to determine the portfolio composition, while his qualitative mind envisions how a company's moat will grow over the long term. When the stock price moves and his strategy is rewarded is the point where market expectations see the moat and growth potential. His goal is to get into the stock before that happens.

We have had a great month of events, a particular favourite was learning why oysters are aphrodisiacs and how to shuck them. While thinking about the sea – shellfish and delicious seafood recipes, a recent article and ingredient caught my eye! "A species of algae known as the 'bacon of the ocean', is set to become one of the year's hottest ingredients. Demand for dulse seaweed, traditionally harvested on Ireland's west coast, has more then doubled in the past year. Diners will soon find it in everything from beer to burgers, according to a recent report from Future 100.
Dulse seaweed is sustainable, and intensely flavoursome, which is why we are now beginning to see it on the menus of some of the UK's best restaurants.
Dulse has a strong following in the US, where it is known as 'bacon of the ocean' on account of its naturally smoky flavour and used to make bread, ice cream, and vegan BLTs.
Dulse isn't just healthy – it looks gorgeous, tastes really complex and has a robust meaty texture that makes it appealing to those following plant based diets. Already used to make risottos and soups – it really is worth trying!

Since we live a great distance from our family we have grown accustomed to spending Easter alone. That fact makes this year EXTRA special since my Mom is here with us. It is also EXTRA special because it is Haylee Kate's first Easter.
I planned lots of activities that Mom could participate in since she loves being active. And, don't tell her, but I even managed to snap some photos while she was "working" (and not looking).
Haylee Kate was our Supervisor.
Today it poured rain, then the sky cleared and the sun came out. I find it symbolic and a reminder of why we celebrate this bittersweet holiday. I'm so very happy the story does not end on Friday, but instead on the happiest of days, "Resurrection Sunday"!. I hope you all have a blessed, happy Easter, Bloggy friends.
I cleaned house yesterday and it felt really good to wake up to everything in it's place this morning. The lawn care folks also came by yesterday and worked for two solid hours to get the yard into shape. It felt really good to wake up and see the yard, minus all the Spring weeds today. The sun hung in a clear blue sky, and it felt really good to see it's glow.
I also talked with our 3 Oklahoma Granddolls today.
Those girls simply "rock my world"!
So good to hear their sweet voices!!
BTW, Lil' Mama took Haylee Kate to the doctor for a weight check on Monday. HK had gained 6 oz in four days!! Whoppee! She is doing very well!
What made you "feel good" today?
Yep. I really want to know!
Two of my favorite people have birthdays this month.
What do you like about March?
oh-so-cute-polka-dot baking dish to mark the occasion.
It's great having a friend who knows I LOVE polka-dot dishes!!
Another something I'm lovin' is this face primer by Loreal.
let me recommend this one. It's just too GREAT not to share.
I love this stuff and would buy it by the bucket if it came that way.
if you go looking to buy this Primer be sure to buy the "green" variety rather than either of the others. The green is actually a little hard to find as many stores are sold out of it, but accept no substitutions - this stuff is "the bomb"!
as I also love a full, good night's sleep.
All dressed in pink gingham and "good to go".
Doncha' just LOVE ruffled baby socks?!
Moi' (YaYa) - and sweet, new, Granddoll.
Mister (YoYo) and sweet, new Granddoll.
Lil' Mama has caught a stomach bug (including fever). We are caring for Granddoll while Lil' Mama stays quarantined in her bedroom. We are praying that Granddoll will not catch this nasty bug - so far so good. . . At one week check up Granddoll had gained 4 oz, but at 2 week check up she remained the same weight. Doctor is somewhat "concerned", but all baby's blood work is good. We take her back for a weight check on Monday and are hoping to see some weight gain. We'll sure be glad when cold & flu season passes and Granddoll has packed on a few pounds.
the balancing act in the crib.
Growing stronger every single day.
Things are crazy, busy, beautiful here. I'm way behind on laundry. The kitchen floor needs to be mopped.
All in due time. I'm taking time to enjoy all the sweet baby "moments".
She's a bundle of entertainment wrapped in pink.
Confession: sometimes we all sit and simply watch her sleep.
Li'l Mama is doing well.
She has taken to motherhood very nicely, making bottles, changing diapers, and getting up throughout the night. She seems to delight in every moment, like most new Mom's do.
I know many of you are grandparents so you fully know the joy of having a grandchild. This is our fourth Granddoll and we revel in all these precious girls God has put into our life.
A few weeks ago many of you played along on the "$10 Starbucks Card Give-Away" for the person guessing the closest (without going over) to my soon-to-be new Granddoll's birth date and birth weight.
Here are the stats - and here are the WINNERS!
so they were the closest w/o going over, to her birth date.
guessing the closest to her birth weight, (w/o going over) is Karen @ Karen's Korner.
She guessed 6.3oz, just 1 oz less than her actual birth weight.
as soon as you send me your address.
And, Thanks to all of you who played along!
please send me a message and I'll re-check my records.
She and her Mom are scheduled to come home from the hospital tomorrow, a week after this hospital stay began. They are both doing well now. Her Mom had a second blood patch yesterday and it seems to be holding.
The baby daddy, his mom, and his sister have been in town all week.
His Mom is not to be trusted and we've known that.
Today she shows up in little Mama's room declaring that she has made arrangements for a paternity test and that she wants shared custody of the baby for her son. Little Mama called me hysterical. She and Baby Daddy have an agreement on how they want this to happen and have already talked with a social worker about this. Now, the other Grandmother (his Mom) steps in and says if Baby Daddy doesn't comply with her wishes she will begin to charge him room & board, etc. etc. and he will not be able to go to college. Manipulation is her game.
My husband is enroute to the hospital and has called our attorney.
I can't tell you how glad I will be when Baby Daddy and his family go back home - 4 hours away.
Little Mama and Baby Daddy have agreed that Li'l Mama will have custody but that he can come here to visit Haylee anytime he wants, and he will continue with his college plans.
His mom is a "Snake".
Forgive me, but she is.
Blogging from my ipad so I will apologize for typos in advance.
I am spending the day at the hospital.
Our sweet new Granddoll continues in the NICU but will probably be ready to come home on Monday. YAY!!
Her little Mama is not doing so well. She continues to have complications from having 3 epidurals during the birthing process - she is leaking spinal fluid, which in turn gives her horrible headaches, severe dizziness, and she has fainted 8 times. Yesterday they performed a procedure on her called a "blood patch". Have you heard of this before? This was something new to me. They actually removed blood from her arm and then gave her yet another epidural and fed this blood into her spine to clot all the previous epidurals. When she awoke she felt wonderful - headache and all dizziness was gone! But she awoke this morning to another awful headache and the dizziness has returned. Not sure what comes next. I'm sure this can be resolved but in the meantime she is feeling awfully sick. We'd appreciate your prayers.
Brand new to the world!
She is in the NICU for a few days.
4 or 5 days in their care.
Here's her Mom visiting with her in the NICU.
I have not forgotten the give-away.
I will check the list and announce the Winner's.
I know every family has the occasional "red letter" day, a day that is significant in the history of a family. Friday was one of those days for us.
We got up and left the house at 5:15 am on Friday and made the 6 hour drive to Tulsa, Oklahoma to appear in court at 1:30. The issue was basically to decide what the future would look like for our Mom. My sister and I met at the courthouse with out attorney. Mom arrived shortly thereafter with her attorney. The great news for that day was that my sister and I were made co-Guardians for our Mom. It was also decided that Mom would come to live with my family in Louisiana, but would also have extended visits with my sister and her family at certain times during the year. This was a win/win, in that it will provide for the best care and also the freedom to move between the states of Oklahoma and Louisiana at will. Mom has been diagnosed with dementia and our goal is to help her live her best life, with as much freedom and opportunity for happiness as we can make possible.
Now we're about the business of doing just that.
Yesterday we took Mom out for Mexican food.
Today we went to church then drove around our town showing her the sights.
Then of course we needed some lunch, so today it was Italian food.
Tomorrow we'll begin to find some type of routine that is hopefully pleasing to everyone.
Let it be known that I have the best husband in the world.
You can be sure there will be lots of stories ahead as we all make the adjustment to living under the same roof.

Someone shows up in their own black suit and a gun behind him. He spins around the throws several Shuriken (throwing stars / ninja stars). The man with the gun shoots them all out of the air, and then they star fighting. A larger fight with even more ninjas begins and soon they are outside of an ancient mountain stronghold. Two people jump off a bridge into a canyon below and then swing off ropes they are attached to. The jump and catch other ropes attached to the cliffs around them and swing along almost like Spider-man, eventually just sliding down a zip line coming to a stop on the side of a cliff. Meanwhile, the chase has continued and their is a sword fight while everyone swing from ropes hundreds of feet in the air. All of a sudden we are no looking at a satellite weapon in space. It shoots something down at Earth and it hits London destroying the entire city in a single huge explosion and shock wave. We then see Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Bruce Willis and learn this is the new G.I. Joe movie, Retaliation. The Rock cock's a small pistol, while Willis says he wanted him to use something more his size and next thing you know they are driving some futuristic high-speed tank. A montage of explosions, gun fire, and speeding cars follows including Willis sitting up from the back of an El Camino with a machine gun. Let's move. The world ain't saving itself. Nice.

Home Entertainment Anime One-Punch Man Season 3: When It Is Going To Air? Latest Updates
One-Punch Man Season 3: When It Is Going To Air? Latest Updates
Japanese artist ONE developed the One-Punch Man superhero series, which is based on a single punch. It follows the narrative of Saitama, a superhero who can destroy any opponent with a single punch, but became bored with the lack of challenge because of his overpowering strength. In early 2009, ONE created the webcomic version.
One-Punch Man Storyline
Cities on a supercontinent Earth have been terrorized by terrible creatures and villains. Millionaire Agoni responds by creating the Hero Association, a group of superheroes tasked with battling evil. An unaffiliated hero from City Z, Saitama, enjoys doing heroic actions for no particular reason.
Unmatched strength, coupled with an overpowering sensation of ennui, has left him unable to focus on anything except training. As Genos seeks retribution for the death of his family and the destruction of his village, Saitama becomes a reluctant mentor to the cyborg. After joining the Hero Association, Saitama is put in a low-entry rank owing to his poor performance on the written admission test. His heroic deeds go mostly unacknowledged and unloved by the public.
While on his deathbed, the seer Shibabawa had a vision that the world was in peril. The Hero Association convenes a gathering of all the world's greatest heroes to discuss this threat.
After that, an extraterrestrial known as Boros invades the world and takes control. Meanwhile, Saitama enters Boros's ship to take on the villain, who has a history of surviving several punches from Saitama before being vanquished. Aside from King, Saitama encounters the martial artist Bang, the espion Blizzard, and the legendary slayer Blizzard, who are all heroes in their own right.
One-Punch Man Season 3 Release Date
No official word yet on whether or not Season 3 is in the works. There were multiple cliffhangers in One Punch Man Season 2, and the first two seasons have finished the first 23 volumes of the Japanese anime series. Only a few more manga chapters remain in the process of being converted for the stage. This has increased the likelihood of a third season.
The third installment of the show is expected to release in 2022, this is an expected date the official hasn't announced the release date yet.

As with the previous season, One Punch Man Season 3 is predicted to be lengthy. The first and second seasons were separated by around four years. in October 2015, Season 1 was published, while Season 2 was released in April 2019.
It has been delayed for a second reason. The Covid-19 epidemic is said to have had an impact on the project's development, just like any other entertainment production. That being said, the anime series hasn't yet run its course. As a bonus, there are still a few manga chapters that need to be translated into English.
According to their previous work, One Punch Man Season 3 is anticipated to take a little longer to produce than the previous two seasons. Season 1 and Season 2 were separated by around four years. According to Netflix Life, the current worldwide pandemic may have put a kink in the preparations of the anime's studio, J.C. Staff, which explains the delay.

A: I had this problem. Downgrade your version of Setuptools.
In your virtualenv:
pip install setuptools==21.2.1
pip install flask

This should do it. The problem is something to do with syntax that I don't get.

A: This has driven me crazy too. Follow these steps:
1) system wide pip uninstall flask
2) create virtualenv in your app folder
3) DON'T USE pip, instead easy_install flask
4) Then use pip to install all other dependencies.
This worked for me, I don't know why but it solved what was a very tiresome problem.

Get Set, the official Olympic and Paralympic education programme in the UK, is delighted to announce the launch of its latest initiative 'Get Set to Plan Your Legacy'. The programme, which is funded by the Department for Education, sees 105 schools benefit from grants to support them in delivering activities to maximise the legacy of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Building on the success of 'Plan your 2012', a London Organising Committee (LOCOG) programme, the 'Get Set to Plan your Legacy' takes inspiration from the Olympic Values of excellence, friendship and respect and the Paralympic Values of determination, inspiration, courage, and equality. The grants will enable schools to run Olympic and Paralympic inspired projects with other local schools in their community – a minimum of ten each.
"This initiative is a great opportunity for schools across the country to work together and really harness the spirit of the Olympic and Paralympic games.
Schools who have been awarded the grant participated in a national induction session last week designed to improve the quality of the programme, invigorate existing legacy plans and enable teachers to work more effectively in partnership with other schools.
"Marketfield School is honoured to be taking part in this initiative. Our programme will build on the success of our previous projects to ensure we fulfil our legacy ambitions. We are planning activities and initiatives ranging from sports festivals, inclusion weeks and a legacy film.
"All the children in our small primary school are really excited to be involved in the 'Plan your Legacy' initiative. Our activities involve engaging other primary schools in the area to hold athletics competitions throughout their schools, with year group medallists attending regional finals organised by high school Young Leaders.


I AM El Moraya Khan and I greet you this morning from my retreat in India. Long ago, you lived in this area and each morning your eyes gazed upon the holy river Ganges. The waters flowed down from the sacred Himalayas and blessed the country and its people.
It is important that the river of words pour through you to bless the people. You will be like the sacred river that sustains your life. Your words will flow to the arid hearts and give life to them.
It is sorely needed now. As the banks of the great river dry up and wait for the rain, so hearts have dried up and have no water of life pouring through them. Speak the words of life. There is power in the word. Speak and write. Both are powerful and both are needed.
There is much desert on the planet, but the greater desert is the life of man. Nourishment is needed, - the wells are dry. The wells have been emptied of words of life and all that pours forth is sand. When the heart is lifeless, the soul does not grow. It cannot flourish and enrich the life. The lifeless soul is a wasted life. Purpose for being grows and flows through joy and service.
"Hope springs eternal in the human heart." It is true; - but only when the rivers of faith are undammed. The power of the spoken word is given to you. You have earned it. You have poured out that which you have received.


SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT! LOTS MORE ENERGY!
The main symptoms that brought me to Alternacare was pain in my right side and sleeping issues. I wasn't sleeping and would wake up 3 times a night. I didn't want to do anything when I got home form work because I had no energy and the pain in my right side hurt so much. I tried over the counter medications but that didn't help me.
After I came to Alternacare I have more energy, I'm sleeping through the night and people that know me notice how much more energy I have. I'm not as stressed at work and the pain in my right side is gone.

Q: React-navigation v6: Custom tab bar not navigating between screens on Android I can't seem to figure out what is causing this code to not work on Android. It works well on iOS. It is a custom tab bar which lives inside a screen of the "normal" bottom tab bar. It has three screens and when switching between them I can see that things are happening under the hood, it's just that only the last tab screen is shown. All of the screens are being rendered and using useFocusEffect I can see that the screens are getting focused when the buttons are pressed, but they are not shown. So it's like they´re hidden behind the last tab screen.
The code is pretty much exactly taken from the example in the react-navigation guide (and I have also tried this with the exact example code):
https://reactnavigation.org/docs/custom-navigators
except that the top level <view>s had to switch places for the tab bar to be visible.
The tab navigator is then embedded like this (I have just replaced the actual names with numbers):
const 4Tab = createCustomTabNavigator<4ParamList>()

export default function 4TabNavigator() {
  return (
    <4Tab.Navigator initialRouteName="1">
      <4Tab.Screen name="1" component={1Navigator} />
      <4Tab.Screen name="2" component={2Navigator} />
      <4Tab.Screen name="3" component={3Navigator} />
    </4Tab.Navigator>
  )
}

which in turn is embedded like so (4TabNavigator):
const Tab = createBottomTabNavigator() // Normal tab bar

const TabStack: React.FC<Props> = props => {

  return (
    <Tab.Navigator
      initialRouteName={TabRouteName.1}
      screenOptions={tabScreenOptions}>
      <Tab.Screen name={TabRouteName.1} component={1Navigator} />
      <Tab.Screen name={TabRouteName.2} component={2Navigator} />
      <Tab.Screen name={TabRouteName.3} component={3Stack} />
      <Tab.Screen
        name={TabRouteName.4}
        component={4TabNavigator}
        options={{ lazy: true }}
      />
      <Tab.Screen name={TabRouteName.5} component={5Navigator} />
    </Tab.Navigator>
  )
}

I'm not sure if this is an issue with react-navigation at all, but I also don't know what else could be wrong. I have looked through react-navigation's GitHub issues, and of course here on SO, but to no avail.

Kasienka and her mother arrive in Coventry from Poland with barely a bag between them. They have left everything behind (which wasn't much, anyway) to come in search of Kasienka's wayward father. He's set up a new life here, and Kasienka's mother fully expects them to just fit right back into their old roles within it. But she's wrong.
Whilst her mother continues to search for her lost husband, Kasienka must go to school. But it's hard to fit into a teenage world where you don't understand any of the silly little rules, and where being different carries little in the way of cultural capital. Swimming, however, makes everything better. She doesn't need to speak the same language (and not just in the literal sense) beneath the surface of the water – and that's how she meets William, who inadvertently teaches her why her mother has dragged her across the continent in pursuit of a man she is besotted with.
As with the wonderful One, and her double-hander with Brian Conaghan, We Come Apart, Sarah Crossan's novel is written in blank verse, with snatches of lyricism doing the job of a chapter of prose.
The novel dances around a lot of themes (some of them developed better in Nicu's half of We Come Apart), from first love to bullying, and the slight extent of the book leaves them seeming quite straightforward. Their various endings may have a general sense of lack of resolution, but such is life. Whilst there are no pretty bows to tie up any ends, we're left with a sense of hope that things will ultimately turn out all right for Kasienka.

This was an overheard conversation between a couple of backpackers while visiting a workshop, where disabled people (agent orange victims) create and sell artwork. It struck me as sad that these twenty somethings were so jaded. Maybe they just wanted to sound savvy and well travelled or maybe they believed that we had been deposited here to buy handicrafts against our will.
This isn't an isolated issue though, commonly I hear travelers bemoaning scams, pushy touts, meter fiddling taxi drivers, persistent sales people. Their interactions with local people are often tainted with an underlying mistrust.
At my former employer we were sent on a negotiation training course. Over the duration of the course we roll played as the buyers and the sellers of various products. A principle tenant of the process was the assumption of positive intent, the understanding that both parties had a job to do and neither one was looking to actively screw the other over. We were encouraged to show good humor and good faith at all times. This idea of assuming positive intent really resonated with me, it struck me as something that should be applied to all facets of human interaction.
Don't get me wrong, there are many pit falls a traveller should be aware of.
When driving from Toronto to Argentina, we were constantly drilled with questions from concerned friends and relatives. A common concern seemed to be the corrupt officials we might meet along the way. Just outside of Mexico City we were pulled over by a policeman, turned out that because of congestion reduction measures, and based on our license plate we were not allowed on that particular stretch of road that day. It unfortunately turned out that this particular officer was not one of the good ones, he tried to extract a $500 bribe, we blathered on about directions, ignoring his request for money, until another police car pulled in behind us, at which point he flung our documents back at us and told us to go. Within seconds the second car pulled us over, this time each window was flanked by a policeman. We rolled down our windows and greeted them with smiles, they enquired if we were ok and if the first guy tried to bribe us, we explained that he did but had given him nothing. They were happy to hear this and went on to explain that we shouldn't be on this road today, we told them where we had been heading for and that we had ended up on it by accident. Understanding our mistake they insisted that we followed them, they flipped on their lights and escorted us to the correct roads. Over the course of our 18 month road trip we were typically pulled over at least twice a week, every time we greeted the officers with smiles and handshakes, and they universally reciprocated. Had we not assumed positive intent each and everyone of these encounters would have been stressful, but by just assuming these guys were doing their jobs we ended up having positive interactions that ended with smiles laughs and waves goodbye.
Also I have been robbed three times while traveling, thankfully nothing violent, I was always unaware of the act until after it had occurred. Twice was by fellow travelers and once was by a local. If I let this colour my view of travel I would have to be distrusting of everyone which would be exhausting.
As I said at the start maybe the younger backpackers were effecting a cool world weary persona, or maybe it is a reflection of being inexperienced and this is a manifestation of nervousness. Either way I think personally a lot more can be gained from travel by accepting that the touts are just doing there job as are the persistent tuk tuk drivers, acknowledging this with a smile and good grace makes it better for everyone. So let's all assume a little more positive intent, this goes for your home lives as well as travel lives.
Great advice that has certainly worked well for you. Positive Intent is a great way to approach personal interactions and I like to add a caution to always remain alert. Body language is usually a great early warning signal when it's time to become more wary.
Very good attitude! A smile says a thousand words…..does it still work! Big hugs to you both!

Home > FAQs > Why is my conscious participation required?
While PMP can help the meditative and developmental process, it is vital that you learn a tried and true meditation method, as it is the inner intention to connect with your spirit (i.e., your deepest and ever-present potential) and stay connected with it consciously that makes all the difference. While neither PMP nor any brainwave entrainment system can do the inner work for you, PMP can catalyze this inner work by accelerating and deepening it far beyond what you could otherwise typically expect using traditional methods alone.
