With all the bacon backlash that has flared up over the past month, meat lovers are running for the hills and vegans are rejoicing. Having bacon in moderation does not pose a problem but in order to satisfy your bacon craving in a healthier way, there are a few techniques you can use when seasoning and making your food.
If you want your eggs, potatoes, or roasted vegetables to taste like bacon, Bacon Salt is a zero calorie, zero fat, vegetarian, and kosher seasoning that gives the same flavor as bacon. You can even sprinkle it on popcorn for a unique touch.
Sautéing breadcrumbs in olive oil and butter will cause them to brown, leaving you with the perfect bacon-like texture. You can add salt and smoked paprika to the breadcrumbs to create a similar taste. Finish off by topping your mac and cheese or green bean casserole with this savory treat.
A little spice can go a long way, especially if you are trying to lock in that bacon flavor in your food. For the smoky taste, add chipotle chile peppers or smoked paprika to your grilled tofu or tempeh.
Nutritionist Keri Glassman uses coconut flakes seasoned with maple syrup to create imitation bacon for a BLT. Tossing the coconut flakes with coconut aminos and maple syrup and baking them for 10 to 15 minutes in the oven will give you the same crispy and sweet taste.
You may be surprised but grilling your peppers, tomatoes, onions, and eggplant with salt and pepper will create a healthy meatless alternative. Grill them to your desired crispiness and you will forget about bacon all together.
Mushrooms naturally have a meaty, earthy flavor so they are the perfect replacement for meat. Umami, portobello, and cremini mushrooms can replace meat or bacon in any recipe. You can use a similar seasoning and sauté them in vegan butter.
Bacon is infamous for the high fat and salt content, so if you are replacing bacon with a vegan or vegetarian option in the recipe, you will need to add a dose of salt and fat. Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese is a healthy vegetarian option that will provide the perfect dose of flavor you are looking for.
If the texture of bacon is what you miss the most, sauté crumbled tempeh in coconut oil until it is brown and crispy. Then, lower the heat and add a dose of soy sauce. The tempeh will absorb the soy sauce and you will get crispy vegan bacon bits.

East End Residents Sound Off Over Changes To The Light Rail Line
Metro wants to have a meeting later this month to address concerns over plans for an overpass that would connect two sections of the East End light rail line.
Gail Delaughter
| Posted on February 18, 2014, 6:17 PM
When the East End line was first proposed several years ago, Metro planned to build an overpass on Harrisburg to get the train across the Hughes Street freight rail tracks.
But after public outcry, the agency decided to go with an underpass.
Now Metro says it can't build that underpass because of soil contamination and it's once again proposing an overpass. But officials say it wouldn't be as big as originally planned, and it wouldn't hamper access to businesses.
Speaking at a special Metro board meeting, Marilu De La Fuente with the Harrisburg Heritage Society says neighbors are still concerned.
"We have worked for years and years and years and years with Metro, one thing after another, changes, changes, changes. I don't know whether we can trust Metro today on what they're telling us."
And East End property owner Anne Whitlock says the design of the final project is crucial.
"A huge part of our problem here in Houston is our built environment and our inability to access green space and places where people can enjoy the outdoors."
Most of the East End line is set to open this fall, and Metro wants to extend the line to the Magnolia Transit Center sometime in the next two years. A final decision on the overpass issue is expected next month.

Bill filed to prohibit trains from blocking railroad crossings
Posted By: Hannah Caveron: January 13, 2022 In: Metro/State/Nation
From The Tribune staff reports
MONTGOMERY — A bill was filed to prohibit trains from blocking railroad crossing on Thursday, January 13.
(Photo by Ron Burkett)
According to the Alabama Legislature, the bill was read for the first time and introduced to the House of Representatives on Thursday. The bill states that it "would provide that, except for trains stopped due to mechanical failure where separation or movement is not possible, and except for trains stopped as required by federal law, any train that has come to a complete stop and is blocking a railroad-highway grade crossing shall be cut, separated, or moved to clear the crossing upon the approach of any authorized emergency vehicle."
If a train is found to be blocking a crossing, this "bill would deem the operator of a train that blocks a railroad-highway grade crossing for two or more continuous hours to be a public nuisance and would levy a civil penalty of $5,000 for each additional hour the train blocks the railroad-highway grade crossing. The civil penalty would be limited to $50,000 per day."
Representative Danny Garrett said the railroad companies claim the problem is related to the supply chain and the labor force.

"What they were doing was loading up trains, which they had a problem with trying to get trains loaded, but they were loading trains and just sending them to the destination," Garrett said. "But the problem was, they didn't have workers there to unload the trains, while they had bottlenecks, because of supply chain issues, all the train schedules were off. It was a logistical nightmare."
Garrett explained that there needs to be a plan to make sure these crossings remain open, but the railroad companies were unwilling to adjust any of their planning or even plan around the problems that arose from blocking a crossing.
The bill states that if the railroad crossing were blocked, law enforcement and emergency medical services would not be able to reach people in need. These roadways remaining open to first responders is considered "a primary and essential service to the health and well-being of the people of the State of Alabama," because "the fast response by law enforcement officers and firefighters is often the difference between life and death or permanent disability to those persons in the State of Alabama making use of such services in an emergency."
"My problem was, they didn't have a plan to play around those logistics," Garrett said. "I understand about scheduling and bottlenecks, but when you know you got all those problems in front of you, you have to plan around it. What their solution was, 'we're just going to send all the trains we can when they're ready.' In the case of Trussville, you had a train that was blocking a crossing for ten days."
When trains block crossings, it is considered "negligent blocking" because it prevents first responders from reaching people in need.
Suppose a train will block a crossing for more than two hours. In that case, the train is considered a "public nuisance" and has to "be cut, separated, or moved to clear the crossing upon the approach of any authorized emergency vehicle."
This bill will go into effect on the first day of the third month following its passage and approval by the Governor, or its otherwise becoming law.

With the NBN rollout well underway and expected to reach its completion target by 2020, there's a good chance you've already got access to the nation's high-speed network. While different addresses and areas have access to different connection types, one of the toughest choices customers will face is deciding which provider to go with, which speed tier to choose, and how much data they'll need.On this page, we'll break down the best NBN plans currently on offer, whether it be the most affordable offering, the highest speeds and data allowances, or the overall best value. Along with our hand-picked choice offers, this page will feature a live tracker of the best NBN plans as, and when, they're put on offer, so you can be sure to get the best deal available right now!
After years of waiting, many Australians are now finding that the NBN has finally reached their area. If you do have access to a fibre connection, it's definitely worth considering one of the plans below. While a great many plans offer unlimited data, there are still some that don't, and others will sacrifice certain perks in order to cut costs, so keep an eye out for what's included and what's been left out.
It's important to note these recommendations do not take into consideration other factors which could make certain deals a better option for you. For instance, do you already have a Telstra or Optus mobile plan and home phone line? If so, sometimes combining them with their respective NBN plans could save you some money.When applying for new NBN deal, make sure you're not already signed up to a contract you can't get out of – most contracts are on 12 or 18 month terms, so it's important to contact your current provider before committing to anything else. Another thing worth noting is some services may not be available in your area. If a particular deal seems good to you, head over to the provider's website to find out if it's available at your address.

French rock star Johnny Hallyday dies aged 74
By Katy Dartford • last updated: 06/12/2017
Singer Johnny Hallyday, known as the "French Elvis" has died aged 74 after a battle with lung cancer.
His wife Laeticia Hallyday wrote that "Johnny Hallyday has left us. I write these words without believing them. But yet, it's true. My man is no longer with us."
"He left us tonight as he lived his whole life, with courage and dignity,"
"For more than 50 years, he was a vibrant icon," President Emmanuel Macron's office said in a statement, who "brought a part of America into our national pantheon."
"There is something of Johnny in all of us."
Among those to pay tribute was American guitarist Lenny Kravitz.
Hallyday's glitzy stage aura was clearly influenced by Elvis Presley, and his musical inspiration came from the likes of Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly.
Hallyday went from a quiff-haired young heart-throb who introduced US-style rock and roll to France in the 1960s to the ageing bad-boy "Patriarch of French pop", a national monument, akin to music royalty, plastered over the cover of celebrity magazines.
Celine Dion was among stars sharing condolences at the news.
Yet, despite selling over 110 million albums with his gravelly voice and cowboy swagger winning him an army of followers in France, he was little-known outside the French-speaking world.
Known simply as "Johnny" to his fans, he was once dubbed "the biggest star you've never heard of" by USA Today.
Hallyday, who issued his first recording in 1959, had been preparing a new album and stage tour when news of his treatment for respiratory difficulties in a Paris hospital was announced last month.

CASHS grad running Boston Marathon for a cause
CASHS '11 graduate Kaitlyn Hess is running in Monday's Boston Marathon to benefit the Museum of Science's Traveling Programs.
CASHS grad running Boston Marathon for a cause CASHS '11 graduate Kaitlyn Hess is running in Monday's Boston Marathon to benefit the Museum of Science's Traveling Programs. Check out this story on publicopiniononline.com: https://www.publicopiniononline.com/story/sports/2019/04/11/cashs-grad-running-boston-marathon-cause/3434238002/

Chambersburg 2011 graduate Kaitlyn Hess has never run a full marathon, but that didn't stop her from making her first the most famous one in America.
Hess will be one of thousands of runners on Monday to take part in the Boston Marathon on Monday morning, running the 26.2 miles for a cause.
The former Trojan cross country runner is raising money for the Museum of Science's Traveling Programs initiative, a program that allows for the Boston museum to bring experiments and exhibitions to lower income areas who can't afford to make the trip to the museum.
After initially learning of the cause through an advertisement, Hess eventually determined it was one worthy of the toils of a marathon.
"It's just a cause I'm passionate about," Hess, who works at MIT's Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research, said. "Within the Cambridge community, all of the science initiatives are pretty interwoven with one another."
Hess has never run a full marathon, but is an experienced runner in her own right. After running cross country under Chris Monheim for Chambersburg, Hess shifted to more recreational running throughout college at Lehigh University and graduate school at Cedar Crest.
"But when I came up [to Boston], I started to get serious about [running] again," Hess said. "I started doing several smaller road races, and gradually started building up."
After racking up a couple half-marathons and 20 milers, Hess began to feel more confident in her ability to run a full one.
Hess has always dreamed of running in the Boston Marathon, but became even more dead set on doing so in 2017, after standing at the finish line and watching the array of people who came across.
"Not only seeing the elite athletes, coming through and seeing all of their hard work and dedication paying off [was motivating]," Hess said. "But also seeing the other athletes further down the line, veterans who had come back from Afghanistan and Iraq, seeing people who had actually been in the 2013 marathon during the bombing who hadn't been able to finish that year, and seeing them finish, it was really moving to me."
In a few days, Hess will be one of those people crossing, hoping to have a nice pocket of fundraising accumulated by the feat.
Hess' fundraising link can be found on the Museum of Science's website. The 2019 Boston Marathon officially kicks off on March 15, with the first runners setting off at 9:02 a.m.

2010 Ch. Smith Haut Lafitte Rouge Pessac Léognan
Red | For laying down | Code: 7729 | 2010 | France > Bordeaux > Pessac-Leognan | Cab.Sauvignon Blend | Medium-Full Bodied, Dry | 14.5 % alcohol
The Wine Advocate - This is an extraordinary performance once again from the Cathiard family, the proprietors of Smith-Haut-Lafitte. They think the 2010 is even better than the 2009. (I disagree, but only slightly.) This wine has laser-like definition in its an remarkable nose of a subtle charcoal fire interwoven with spring flowers, creme de cassis, blueberry liqueur and spicy wood. Full-bodied, stunningly concentrated, long, rich and moderately tannic, this wine is set for an exceptionally long life of 30-40 years but can be drunk in 5-7.
Robert M. Parker, Jr. - 28/02/2013
98+/100
Jancis
Jancis - Ch Smith Haut Lafitte 2010 Pessac-Léognan is savoury and appealing on the nose. Very fresh – admirably fresh. Very Graves and fragrant with firm minerality and very dry finish. Nothing overdone. Nicely balanced for the long term.
(Jancis Robinson MW- jancis robinson.com 11 Apr 2011)
Wine Spectator - Really ripe, but with great focus, as linzer torte, blackberry, plum sauce and anise notes are woven tightly together, all carried by tar and graphite, with a long, seamless finish.
(James Molesworth – The Wine Spectator – Top Scoring Bordeaux 2010 – 31 Mar 2011)
Parker - This is an extraordinary performance once again from the Cathiard family, the proprietors of Smith-Haut-Lafitte. They think the 2010 is even better than the 2009. (I disagree, but only slightly.)

(98+ Robert Parker- Wine Advocate- Feb 2013)
A qualitative home run, right up there with the profound 2005 and more opulent 2009, Smith-Haut-Lafitte has turned in a remarkable performance in this vintage, but then again, so have many other chateaux. A blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, the wine has an inky/purple color and an extraordinary nose of graphite, blackberries, cassis, licorice, smoke, and camphor.
The unbelievable skyscraper-like texture, stunning purity, and formidable intensity make for a remarkably rich, long, full-bodied wine that is classic Graves, but at the same time a staggering 2010.
(95-97 Robert Parker- Wine Advocate- May 2011)
Decanter - Rich tobacco leaf cassis fruit, superb balance of natural vineyard concentration and elegance, already showing fragrance and charm, a notable success for château Smith-Haut-Lafitte.
(Steven Spurrier – Decanter – Apr 2011)
Cab.Sauvignon Blend
Cabernet Sauvignon lends itself particularly well in blends with Merlot. This is actually the archetypal Bordeaux blend, though in different proportions in the sub-regions and sometimes topped up with Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot.
In the Médoc and Graves the percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend can range from 95% (Mouton-Rothschild) to as low as 40%. It is particularly suited to the dry, warm, free- draining, gravel-rich soils and is responsible for the redolent cassis characteristics as well as the depth of colour, tannic structure and pronounced acidity of Médoc wines. However 100% Cabernet Sauvignon wines can be slightly hollow-tasting in the middle palate and Merlot with its generous, fleshy fruit flavours acts as a perfect foil by filling in this cavity.
In St-Emilion and Pomerol, the blends are Merlot dominated as Cabernet Sauvignon can struggle to ripen there - when it is included, it adds structure and body to the wine. Sassicaia is the most famous Bordeaux blend in Italy and has spawned many imitations, whereby the blend is now firmly established in the New World and particularly in California and Australia.
In 1986 a new communal district was created within Graves, in Bordeaux, based on the districts of Pessac and Léognan, the first of which lies within the suburbs of the city. Essentially this came about through pressure from Pessac-Léognan vignerons, who wished to disassociate themselves from growers with predominately sandy soils further south in Graves.
Pessac-Léognan has the best soils of the region, very similar to those of the Médoc, although the depth of gravel is more variable, and contains all the classed growths of the region. Some of its great names, including Ch. Haut-Brion, even sit serenely and resolutely in Bordeaux's southern urban sprawl.
The climate is milder than to the north of the city and the harvest can occur up to two weeks earlier. This gives the best wines a heady, rich and almost savoury character, laced with notes of tobacco, spice and leather. Further south, the soil is sandier with more clay, and the wines are lighter, fruity and suitable for earlier drinking.

(no, I did not make that one! That picture is from Pinterest) Every time I'd see one of these I'd just 'sigh'. They are just SO glorious!!
(again, picture from Pinterest) This is actually my 'dream' wreath. The really vintage ornaments in pink and aqua; each one different and in unique shapes.
So, instead of just 'drooling' over the ones I saw on Pinterest, I started reading some of the tutorials. Alas, they were as varied (and confusing!) as the burlap wreath tutorials. Heavy sigh.
I had actually purchased a bunch of the ornaments AFTER Christmas for half price at Goodwill last year. Then I got so overwhelmed with picking a color and/or theme that I just slapped price tags on them all and took the boxes of ornaments to Stars to sell; and was just going to scratch that one off my crafting bucket list, incomplete.
Then this last week while out thrifting, I came across a BIG bag of assorted white and silver ornaments. Yes, ALL of those ornaments were together in one big bag. Looked like the perfect amount for making one of these wreaths.
Found this white berry garland and braided seed bead rope garland and figured I could use them as 'fillers' for my wreath if needed.
This is pretty close to how I envisioned MY completed wreath turning out.
NOW, I just needed to decide which tutorial to 'trust'. Some said you could make on in 30 minutes. HA!! I spent ALL DAY working on mine. And SO many of them showed this very same method as the photo above. Just HOT glue the ornaments to a styro wreath form. Styrofoam and hot glue do NOT go together well!
I opted to use one of the straw wreaths I had on hand, and conceded to the fact that I'd HAVE to hot glue the first few rows of ornaments on. Hot glue will melt the plastic covering on the straw wreath, so I removed it, and it immediately started shedding and coming apart! I tore up some strips of muslin and glued them around the straw. Hot glue will adhere better to the muslin.
Second layer was on the inside; and took 13 small balls. Attached with hot glue and reinforced with tacky glue.
Third layer was on the outside edge again, medium balls between each of the large ones. Since they had the first layer to support them while the glue dried, for this row I used JUST tacky glue.
Applied my tacky glue like this, them placed that end down into the space between the larger balls.
This row took 20 of the small balls; same size that I used on the inner row.
Fourth row was the tiny silver glitter balls (13 of them) between the first inner row balls. Again, I used tacky glue for this. Stopped here to let glue dry overnight.
Nice, neat row after row.
This is the last 'defined' row. I used my largest balls, glued (tacky glue) one between every OTHER on the second outer row. After this is when it gets 'tricky'. No more perfectly spaced rows. You just have to fit 'what you can where you can'. NOW I understand why none of the tutorials go into much detail!
I clipped the white berry wreath into individual 'sprigs' using wire cutters.
Got abut 50 individual pieces.
'Somewhat' between the previous layer, I used my biggest balls, but not in a perfectly symmetrical pattern. You just keep filling the holes with whatever size of ball will fit. I used my tacky glue as much as possible, and hot glue only if I absolutely HAD to.
I continued taking photos, but at this point you really can't tell exactly what I did and I can't explain it! Just glue on whatever fits over the 'bare spots' where your wreath form is showing through.
From a distance, it looks done. And I'm guessing that this is where most people stop.
Looking up close and from different angels, there are still a lot of tiny bare spots.
The snippets of white berries did the trick to fill those annoying little spots. I just dipped the ends in tacky glue, and shoved them into every crack where the muslin was showing through.
I SHOULD have attached a hanging loop FIRST, but forgot to. So this is how I did it 'after the fact'.
The backside is not at all attractive!
Not bad for my first attempt, eh?
Granted the white berries 'detract' from the 'look' a bit. And I probably could have filled the little holes with MORE tiny ornaments. But I was trying to 'use what I had' and if I were to have set it aside to finish later . . . well, you KNOW how that goes!
Those really ARE silver shiney balls. They are just reflecting the amber lighting in the room and LOOK gold-tone.
This is what was left of the supplies. Just a few large and medium balls. I used ALL the tiny and small balls and berry sprigs. Did not use the seed bead garland at all. Maybe on the NEXT one???
Switching from NOEL to JOY for this batch of banners.
And used some gold glittered reindeer ornaments on either end.
Black crepe paper rosettes with oval paper centers and gold glitter letters.
The metallic blue letters I used on this one don't LOOK very blue in the picture, but they are a very close match to the light blue crepe paper rosettes.
Decided to not put anything on either end of this one.
I kind of like this 'simpler' style.
The reindeer ornaments that I used on the first (and next) one; came in a pair; like this.
Can you see the cute tiny jingle bell necklaces they have on? Only problem is, they both face the same direction!?!?
You probably can't really SEE this, but I took a picture anyhow! The backs are completely glittered, so I thought maybe I'd just remove the jingle bells so I could face one the opposite direction. WELL, the bells are just 'wired on' with a very thin gold wire that is twisted to stay in place.
I just untwisted it, and it easily pulled out of the two holes; flipped it over and put the bells back on the back side! Easy peasey! Ready for another banner!
Decided to try attaching the banner ribbon to the reindeer's LEG on this one (as opposed to the MOUTH on the first one) AND left the clear hanging loop (attached to the antlers) on these to hang from.
Here's the first one again. Ribbon attached at the mouth and hung from the antlers.
Which banner placement looks better to you'; attached at the MOUTH or LEG??
Back to the second reindeer banner now.
I was a bit 'iffy' regarding using the kraft color rosettes on this one, but I DO like it now that it is finished.

Round 2 of the altered Christmas bottles.
Teeny tiny bottles in this batch and a fun 'short squatty square' bottle.
This was probably originally a perfume bottle. Narrow opening that required I take the base off the tree (this tree from a set of 2 from Dollar Tree; covered with Mica flakes for a vintage look) I had to wrap a bit of string around the wire tree base so it fit tighter in the opening, then glued it in place.
Itty bitty bottles are the vintage individual salt/pepper shakers. (ALWAYS buy those when I can find them. Use them for KNOBS on the glass cloches I make also!) This tree is from a package of several from the craft store. There were 2 sizes in the packages; this is the smallest size. Was able to glue the base to the bottle top.
Sheer white bow and snowflake button glued on.
Another vintage salt shaker bottle in a cute 'tree like' shape. Spray painted this little tree (from Dollar Tree) gold, removed base, wrapped stem with some string for a tight fit and glued into the opening. Little metal snowflake ornament and thin satin ribbon instead of sheer this time.
Decided to leave this tree top bare.
These will also be going to my booth for sale.
The second pair of ice skates I found were even SMALLER than the first pair! And again, I anm trying to only use the craft supplies I have on hand this year. (really NEED to pare down mu stash!) So, these were both decorated the same!
Went a little more 'traditional Christmas' on these.
Vintage Santa is a scrap book piece that I glued to a wood skewer so I could 'stick it' into the greens. Red glitter ornaments (from DT last year) were already 'picks'.
Merry Christmas red glitter ornament tied to the stick of the ball ornament.
These 2 have gone to my booth st Stars.
LOVE it against the aqua background!!


The new owner of Current by GE will continue to use the Current brand under a licensing agreement.
A stalwart of Henderson County's manufacturing economy for more than 60 years, the General Electric plant in East Flat Rock now has a new owner. Local business organization leaders say they've been told things will remain the same. Even the name won't change, at least for now.
GE announced on April 2 that it had completed the sale of its Current lighting plants to American Industrial Partners, a New York-based private equity firm focused on buying, improving and growing industrial businesses. March 29 was the last day the plant operated under GE ownership. Under a long-term licensing agreement, the plants will still be called Current and will continue using the Current Powered GE brand on its products and services moving forward.
"They have made that official," Brittany Brady, president of the Henderson County Partnership for Economic Development, said Wednesday. "I don't think we'll see many changes. I think the head count will remain the same right now. The first payroll (under new ownership) is this week." Under an agreement with the GE, the plant will continue to operate as Current. "It sounds like for the time being they will keep that name."
Brady and Bob Williford, the president of the Henderson County Chamber of Commerce, both said plant officials had assured the work force and even some of the management was likely to remain unchanged.
"No reduction in head count of personnel changes," Brady said "It sounds like things have been pretty seamless. They don't anticipate much of a shift, which is as good as it gets. It looks like it's a newly owned entity but not many changes beyond that."
Terry Collins, the East Flat Rock plant's director of human resources and a member of the Henderson County chamber board, has told chamber officials that few changes are expected.
"They'll keep operating like normal," Williford said. "We'll just have to wait and see what happens. I don't even know how much leadership change there's going to be. They're still making fixtures and still making money."
The new owner is a private equity firm that makes control investments in industrial businesses serving domestic and global markets. The firm has deep roots in the industrial economy and has been active in private equity investing since 1989. To date, AIP has completed over 95 transactions and currently has more than $7 billion of assets under management on behalf of leading pension, endowment and financial institutions. Current's portfolio spans LED and traditional lighting solutions, along with a wide variety of intelligent controls, sensors and software.
The consumer lighting business of GE Lighting was not included in the transaction.

As lockdowns began worldwide in 2021, so too did the calls to "make the most" of time inside by working out, journaling, and even (for an unknown reason) making bread. Then came the flood of so-called "inspirational" routine content all over the internet. There was even a point in time where people were sharing their carefully curated pandemic day planners.
As heightened as this became during the pandemic—perhaps due to the fact we're all searching for some semblance of control—the internet has always been plastered with content around morning routines. Whether or not this obsession is healthy for us or not is an entirely different story.
Carl Cederström, associate professor at Stockholm University and co-author of The Wellness Syndrome, says this fixation fits into the rising Individualism under capitalism, where we're constantly encouraged to view ourselves not as people, but as never-ending projects. This is what he calls "wellness syndrome," where an obsession with participating in wellness trends has us commodifying ourselves far beyond our work and into our day-to-day existence.

"A lot of people think the morning routine is the key to infinite success and, in a sense, part of that is true. If you do look at successful authors, what many of them have in common would be a writing routine which would go on no longer than lunchtime," he says. The difference then becomes the fact that while authors often wake up with a clear mission (get ready and start writing), many of us are crafting our morning routines without purpose.
"We live in a time that is hugely obsessed with success and finding hacks to get into success mode but, if you're creating an extensive routine for the sake of it, instead of waking up early, taking your coffee and sitting by the computer to write, you create elaborate morning rituals filled with short workouts and juices," Cederström says. This, he says, is part of living in an era with "bullshit jobs," a term coined by anthropologist David Graeber in 2018 that correlates societal harm with meaningless jobs.
This idea of creating a routine for the sake of it—and because you're seeing other people on social media do it—was evident in the recent "that girl" routine trend on TikTok, where creators shared extremely early (and aesthetic) morning routines on the app. The idea was that if you can be a more productive "healthy" version of yourself, you become "that girl" and therefore elevate yourself beyond being a regular person.

Here's What I Learned After Trying to Live Like #ThatGirl TikTok For a Week
It's important to note that the acts of working out, journaling, and even having a green smoothie in themselves are in fact healthy, however the pressure to compile them all into content and "keep up" with other people online is now. "You have this intense pressure where people feel like they need to live up to these demands of at least making it look as if you live a perfectly balanced and meaningful life, the fast and slow life at the same time," says Cederström. "There is always the risk of crumbling under the weight of that pressure."
Opting out of this social comparison culture, however, is also extremely difficult. "Generally, people are just incredibly susceptible to social comparison," says Laurie Santos, professor of psychology at Yale University. "We compare our looks with other people and our salaries, so it makes sense that we'd also compare our morning routines but overall social comparison isn't usually helpful." For this reason, Santos believes that morning routine videos can be more problematic than helpful.
Creating a routine that works for you as an individual, however, is something that Santos says can improve our overall well being. "There's evidence that simple rituals can help us kind of feel a little bit more connected with the people around us," she says. "Routine in general really cuts down on the choice overload that happens throughout the day. It can kind of help us make decisions in a more streamlined way."
Where we fall into the trap of "wellness syndrome" is then any time that we make comparisons or are worried about the self-presentation of our routines. "On the whole, the routines and schedules are pretty good and can actually make us feel good," she says. "The problem is that once we become obsessed about them, once it becomes about what other people are doing, that's not necessarily a boost for our wellbeing."
Since the nature of the internet is social comparison and careful curation, it's clear building a healthy morning routine that's best for you won't happen by copying any wellness influencer on TikTok. Instead, Santos recommends adding one new ritual to add to the start of our day and when we've finished work that we enjoy (enjoyment being the key emphasis). This could be as simple as walking to grab a coffee and croissant from your favorite baker, or even calling your mom.
"Having a ritual you do before a hard workout can make it a little bit easier to get through that workout can make you more confident as you're doing that workout," she says. "The key is that we have to do them in a way that's not feeling too obsessed over time." This means placing down our phones, disconnecting from social media for a bit, and remembering that every second of the morning doesn't have to be extremely productive from the outside eye. "Productivity" looks different for everyone and some of the most enjoyable things in life aren't productive at all—nor should they be.

When was the last time someone did something unexpectedly nice for you? Not someone you knew, but a total stranger? All this talk about compassion and the golden rule got me thinking about the kindness of strangers. It's happened to me a few times, but two instances really stand out.
A few years ago, I was dining out with a person who kept going on and on about himself, completely oblivious to the fact that I was sitting there in misery. It wasn't his company that bummed me out. I was recovering from a broken heart, and just sitting down to dinner reminded me of my last relationship. I could have collapsed in tears right there at the table.
Just last year, I was running a half-marathon. With just .1 miles to go, I was out of gas. Runners call it "hitting the wall"; I thought I couldn't move another muscle. Out of nowhere, a teenager jogs up next to me and says, "What's your name, sweetie? Jennifer? Okay, Jennifer, let's go! Come on! It's just around the corner! You can do it!" And he ran with me until I picked up my pace. I found him at the finish line to thank him for the encouragement only to learn he wasn't even supposed to be in the race that day. He was running in place of someone else.
I still shake my head when I think of these momentary angels that came to me at my point of need. Do you have any experiences like this? A random act of kindness by a stranger? Share your story.


We are a high-quality medical service in Skipton, dedicated to the safe and professional removal of unwanted tattoos, or pigmented lesions.
We are a professionally run laser tattoo removal clinic set up and run by Skipton dentist Andy Bates, along with registered Dental Nurse, Collette Shaw. Both are trained and insured for laser tattoo removal.
People have tattoos for many reasons. The unfortunate statistic though is that between a third and one half of these people will come to regret their tattoo(s) at some point later in their life.
Some people also want tattoos removed in order to have a different tattoo placed. Tattoo removal is not available on the NHS, and nationwide there are only a handful of safe, registered places where tattoos can be removed.


The recipe is rather simple: pound out a couple chicken breasts (no need to totally beat the crap out of them, just flatten a bit) and season both sides with salt and pepper. I also put some Bosari (the black one) on there. Sauté some garlic, onion and shallots in a bit of butter, then put the chicken breast right on top, turn once. Total cooking time about 5 minutes (you might want to check to make sure the breasts are done). Remove the chicken and keep warm. Add another hunk of butter and a bunch of sliced mushrooms to what was left in the pan and sauté. After the mushrooms have reduced a bit, add a half a cup of crème fraîche (or even sour cream) and heat until it starts to simmer. Put the chicken breast on a bed of egg noodles and spoon the mushroom sauce over the top.
Wine Suggestion: This is a great dish for either a Chardonnay that has some oak on it, or a lighter 'Burgundian' style Pinot Noir, even a Beaujolais (gamay grape).
Sounds good, and within my capabilities. Will try this this week. Chardonnay sounds good – I will try and find a really nice one to go with it.
It really is rather easy and particularly tasty. Let me know how it turns out!


I have just received a IPT statement from my developer Hadjidemosthenous dating back to 2009 saying that the taxes are now due, the amount is 2860 euro, they have added interest amounting to 910 euros. We do not have title deeds. They are staying that the onus is on us because we should of contacted them yearly to get this statement and pay it, as we did not they are demenading the money now, we just do not have this amount of money to pay. What do we do. We assumed that this was taken into account when we received the Title Deeds.

Stanford students win historic victory on elevating Black studies
Student activists say a department in African and African-American studies could improve equity on campus, attract prominent scholars and make Stanford a leader in studying race, history, politics and culture.
By Martha Ross |
PUBLISHED: February 27, 2021 at 7:39 a.m. | UPDATED: February 27, 2021 at 8:13 a.m.
Black student activists at Stanford scored a long-fought victory this week when a university task force said the campus should transform its program in African and African-American Studies into a full-fledged academic department.
The decision was more than 50 years in the making, with students saying they have pushed for a department dedicated to Black studies since the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr.
Administratively, elevating a program into a department means giving it the funding to recruit and hire its own faculty, instead of borrowing professors from other departments to teach courses and advise students.
For African-American studies, these bureaucratic moves mean its department could one day offer graduate degrees and become a magnet for promising students and high-profile scholars from around the world, students said. Giving African and African-American Studies more prominence also could improve equity across campus and position Stanford to become a leader in advancing research and education into race, history, politics and culture, students said.
"This is a historical and political moment, in terms of what it means for the university," said Kimya Loder, the president of the Black Graduate Students Association.
"But it's also an intellectual moment, to know that Black studies is a thriving and constantly growing discipline, in part because we're at a point in global history where we have to come to terms with anti-Blackness and how it manifests itself in the United States and beyond," added Loder, whose Ph.D. studies in sociology focus on grassroots political organizing in Black communities.
The death of George Floyd last May and the ensuing protests and national conversation about racial justice prompted the BGSA and the Black Student Union to renew calls to departmentalize African and African-American studies. For the 2020-21 year, 44 students are majoring or minoring in the program.
Stanford actually was a bit ahead of the curve back in 1969, when it became the first private university in the United States to create an African-American Studies program. A year earlier, to the north, San Francisco State became the first university in the country to establish a department with a Black studies curriculum. UC Davis and UC Berkeley also founded their respective departments around this time, as Black studies was becoming a part of American higher education.
But the next five decades saw Stanford fall short in devoting more attention to its AAAS program by not moving to full departmentalization, Loder and other students said. The galvanizing cultural moments of the past summer inspired the BGSA to hold teach-ins, town halls, demonstrations and a letter-writing campaign. A petition circulated around campus garnered more than 5,600 signatures.
In the fall, Stanford established a task force to consider new infrastructure "for the study of race and the effects of race on society," according to the university. On Monday, Provost Persis Drell announced that the task force recommended departmentalizing. She called the recommendation an "exciting first step."
Now the task force must establish a subcommittee to "work out the details." Drell warned it would not be until next year that faculty who want to move to the department can develop proposals for the School of Humanities and Sciences dean, an advisory board and, ultimately, the Board of Trustees, which must approve a new department.
In their push, students acknowledged they "shamed" campus leaders by pointing out how Stanford was lagging behind some of its prestigious competitors, including Princeton, Duke, UCLA and Columbia, which have moved to establish African-American or Black studies departments.
Students also brought up the fact that Stanford houses a collection of Black Panther primary documents and hosts the Martin Luther King Research and Education Institute, developed by history professor Clayborne Carson, who was personally selected by Coretta Scott King to edit King's papers.
Finally, students pushed back against the idea that African and African-American studies is a "narrow" discipline — unlike, say, history, economics or political science.
Reagan Ross, vice president of the BGSA, said that Black studies are no more "narrow" than other disciplines focused on history and culture, such as East Asian Languages, German studies or Iberian and Latin American Culture, each of which are departmentalized at Stanford.
"The idea that the scope of African and African-American studies is too narrow comes from a fundamental misunderstanding about what Black studies is," Ross said, noting that people may wrongly think the curriculum is limited to slavery or the Civil Rights Movement. "It's a global discipline."
Alex Ramsey, who graduated with an AAAS degree in 2017, said studying the Black experience through the lens of history, literature and other disciplines gave him excellent preparation to study law at Harvard.
Junior Mohammad Faisal Gumma, a pre-med biology major, likewise said that classes for his AAAS minor are teaching him to critically assess how race impacts health care as he aims to become a doctor.
"We're not one-dimensional," he said, describing fellow students in the AAAS program. "We're interested in the law, technology, science, public health, the arts. Those things intersect and allow students to gain so much in applying Black studies to different disciplines."
