Homemade slow-cooker applesauce is easier to make than you think. Making this simple, delicious homemade applesauce in a slow-cooker takes no-time at all. It is perfect for school or work lunches, an afternoon snack, added to recipes, mixed into vanilla ice cream — essentially anything you could dream to do with your favorite applesauce!
1. Arrange apples evenly in a slow-cooker. Cover with the water.
2. Add the sugar and cinnamon.
3. Put on high heat for a minimum of 6 hours, until it gets nice and applesaucey. Use an immersion blender to blend the mixture to desired consistency.
4. Dig into this healthy and delicious snack!
Easy, right? You should make yourself and your loved ones this special treat. You won't ever buy the stuff in the jar again.
Dates are awesome for sweeting applesauce as well, that's how I make it and everyone loves it.
Wondering if anyone has tried a tart version of this. Granny Smith apples with little to no sugar?
Hi Kristen, I'm wondering, which slow cooker do you use/recommend? I want to buy one so I've been doing research and it seems like some of them are thought to leech lead or other chemicals? Thanks so much!
Sometimes it still makes me nervous to use any cookware that isn't cast iron or stainless steel, but I have a few "compromise" items like a non stick animal shaped waffle maker (b/c my kids love it) and this crock pot (b/c it sure is nice to have a crock pot sometimes).
It's been a while since I did my research so I can't really cite my sources, but I did read a lot of blogs on the issue before settling on this one as among the best when it came to assurances that harmful chemicals weren't in the coating.
Thanks!! I was just searching for a crockpot applesauce recipe!
I make my slow-cooker applesauce with a variety of different apples, including Granny Smith. I use no water or sweetener, just a few shakes of cinnamon and cook it on LOW overnight. Sweet and delicious!!
Scott, We have an orchard and many different kinds of apples, and we usually harvest around 300 lbs of apples on average each year. So, all that to say I have a lot of experience with applesauce. I've found that a mix of apples is actually what my family prefers, and we never add sugar of any type. I'd say that if you like Granny Smith, then go for it. My hubby prefers the tart apples as well, and I know he'd love just a tart applesauce. It's so forgiving, so my two cents, give it a try!
My grandmother used to make and deliver a bowl of warm pink applesauce to us when I was a child. She always cooked it with the skins on to give it the pink color. When she put it through a sieve she would discard the peels. Does anyone else do this? Of course then you cant use the immersion blender, but oh so pretty.
I do mine in a big pot on the stove but have also used a slow cooker. If you want to make without added sugar add a can of frozen unsweetened apple juice concentrate. I use that and cinnamon only and everyone loves it!!
I would leave the skins on..lots of nutrition there unless it's lost in the cooking.
Ellen, this is how I make mine. I use an Oxo food mill every autumn to make applesauce from apples and crabapples I glean from the local trees around us. Otherwise a lot of them just go to waste. I never use sugar either, just cinnamon sometimes.
Love making crock pot applesauce. I also use my slow cooker to make bone broth.
I love cardamon in my apple sauce. I also dedydrate the apple sauce on sheets, then roll them up like fruit roll-ups. Yum!
I saw your recipe a couple days ago. I'm trying it today in my slow cooker. It's not ready yet (only been in the slow cooker for 2 hours). But man, does it smell amazing in my house! Thanks so much for the recipe.
It is the easiest way I've ever heard of. Thank goodness for slow cookers, right Amy?
While I appreciate the ease of using a slow cooker, in this case it's actually easier to just do applesauce on the stovetop. You simply throw the apples in a saucepan (I only add a tablespoon or two of water) and bring to a boil. Cook them down until they are soft enough to puree with an immersion blender, about 10-20 minutes, tops. Puree and voila, you're done. Also, I'd cook them up first and then decide how much sweetener you want. Galas are very sweet and you may find you don't need added sugar.
I used to do my applesauce on the stove top and while you are right, it's a lot quicker, if you don't pay attention you can end up with burned stuff sticking to the bottom of the pot. I go do something else so I don't like to have to remember to check the pot, even if it is on low. Just a matter of preference, but it works great that way too.
Like a lot of you I sometimes don't use sweetener and when I do I add it at the end. Just a touch of maple syrup is a great option, it adds a richness you don't get from many other sugar options.
Is it possible to freeze applesauce if doing a large batch?? If not how long will it lastin the fridge??
Absolutely you can freeze applesauce made this way!! Just leave some head space for expansion. How long it lasts depends on how clean your tools and container were, and whether you dip your finger in for a lick, etc. 🙂 But it's so good you won't have to worry about it!
I followed this exactly and my apple sauce is completly water. Although it says cover with water I'm thinking this is way to much.
The applesauce can be frozen and taken out as needed.
Again, I am sorry and hope you have better luck in the future with this recipe!
I make applesauce in my slow cooker all the time. But I hate having to spend the time to peel the apples and slice them, so I quarter them and dump them in seeds and all, typically enough to fill it to the brim. I add a little apple cider if I have it, otherwise a bit of water, but never as much as you call for – just enough to keep it from sticking. I also never ever add sugar although if I used Granny Smith's I guess I would! I put the slow cooker on high for 6-8 hours and when the apples are mush, I run them through a food mill. That to me is faster and less messy than peeling the apples up front, and wastes less of the apple to boot. The peels are less bulky when they are cooked down than when they are peeled, and the food mill leftover detritus goes straight into the compost bucket more compactly than if I peeled the apples up front. Usually I don't even add any spices, but I had found that pumpkin pie spice mix is really nice, even better than just a bit of cinnamon bc it is a more complex flavor blend. Glad you posted this – reminded me I have a big box of apples waiting to be turned into applesauce!
I'm probably going to try this without adding sugar. I have fuji's and granny smiths. If I need to add sugar, can I just use organic cane sugar instead of coconut sugar?
Sounds Yummy!! I'm thinking of using up some of my slightly dehydrated but still whole Gala apples…the water and warmth of cooking should rehydrate them. Also curious about using some dates since I have them on hand, for the sweetener. Otherwise I'll be stalling for days getting the coconut sugar ordered, or driving around all over town at the various health food stores to see if they have it.
we use it to top pancakes or french toast!
Laura Genton, that sounds delicious!
I make mine in the slow cooker, too. I find it has less chance of burning that way, but it has much better flavor cooked in the oven. Not sure why.

Home > SVA Quarterly > Advocacy > How catalytic advocacy can speed up system change
Patrick Flynn explains how organisations can use proven initiatives as catalysts for change in government policies and service systems.
When people ask 'how do we tackle disadvantage?' they instinctively reach for services to help those affected. But when disadvantage is a result of, or perpetuated by, a broken system, or inadequate services, then the challenge is to change the system itself.
… even very well run and resourced campaigns are not guaranteed to succeed in a volatile environment.
This is the traditional domain of advocacy – speaking on behalf of people experiencing disadvantage in an attempt to change the systems that supposedly serve them.
Advocacy has the allure that by shifting the system not just a handful of people may be assisted, hundreds or thousands of lives may be changed so the social impact can be profound. By improving the system – for example, through public health measures like vaccines – we can also have the added benefit of preventing disadvantage before it occurs.
The 'catch' is that changing a system can be very hard. Effective advocacy models rely on a series of interlocking parts, all of which are resource intensive, and even very well run and resourced campaigns are not guaranteed to succeed in a volatile environment.
Advocacy models
The SVA Quarterly article, Seven steps to effective advocacy describes a seven step model to help develop a strategy to advocate for change.
As outlined, the starting point for any advocacy is to have a solid understanding of the political and system environment in which you're operating. You need to know what the problem is and how to fix it. You have to ensure you have an evidence base for that solution to provide credibility and then build relationships with decision-makers to have the opportunities to make your case.
Changing the system often means changing entrenched mindsets – including of politicians.
…many social purpose organisations with good solutions don't have access to the resources required to run a campaign on that scale.
That can mean mounting public pressure on elected officials through paid and earned media, campaigning in local electorates to influence Members of Parliament (particularly those on narrow voting margins) and gathering coalitions and communities of like-minded people who help build the case for change through the sheer weight of numbers.
Large scale social issues campaigns can and do work. The Every Australian Counts campaign for the National Disability Insurance Scheme is a textbook case of lining up all of these elements, many of them simultaneously.
The problem was clearly identified, a Productivity Commission review provided a model and evidence base, and an organised coalition and a well-orchestrated campaign took an issue that was seen as only relevant to a few individuals and made it about all Australians.
Initiatives which provide data-based evidence of a better way of doing things… can be the catalyst you need.
But many social purpose organisations with good solutions don't have access to the resources required to run a campaign on that scale.
However, it is possible to add a catalyst to the system, to speed up the 'chemical reaction' without having all those different ingredients.
A model for catalytic change
Catalysts for change exist. Initiatives which provide data-based evidence of a better way of doing things whether they are to be replicated or subsumed into an existing system can be the catalyst you need. These initiatives and their demonstrated impact are an important part of your broader advocacy plan.
Catalytic advocacy has common features that include:
Know what 'big impact' looks like – If catalytic advocacy is about a focussed effort to achieve a big systemic change, then it is very important to know and quantify the impact you're trying to achieve. If you can't define what success looks like, it's very hard to know if you're getting any closer. How many people will benefit, and how? Is it a profound impact on a small group of people whose lives will be transformed and level of wellbeing significantly improved? If so, how will you quantify that?
Develop a theory of change – Once you know what you want to achieve and the system changes that are required to achieve that, the question is who has the power to make that happen? What steps do you need to take for those people to arrive at that decision? What are the steps in between?
To do this effectively, you still need to know how the system you're operating in works including what opponents and barriers there are. Unfortunately some old truths are unavoidable!
Build your credibility and play to your strengths – Organisations and individuals need credibility in the space they want to advocate in. Credibility can be derived in different ways, from learned expertise, decades of experience or new research and data – but it's very hard to have an impact without it. Aligning your expertise with your advocacy makes it far more impactful and it is also likely to be less resource intensive, particularly if advocacy isn't your core business.
Pick your point of influence – Different advocates have access to different levers in the system. Pulling on the one that gives you the most leverage is the most efficient way to achieve the biggest change. If you can't do everything, do the thing that gives you the most influence but also be conscious that if your theory of change relies on shifting public opinion you may need a loud voice or an extensive grass-roots campaign. If you don't have one, consider working with others who do.
Try to build momentum – Effective advocacy initiatives live on well after the original tactics have finished. This is crucial as social change takes time and is built on earlier successes. The key to creating ripples is to have a new or novel initiative that advances a debate beyond its current standing. It's important to support other people's advocacy and positions where they are aligned with your goals. This helps build 'advocacy capital', a bank of friends, supporters and networks. But catalytic change requires something new.
Below, we examine how these principles apply to two examples of catalytic advocacy – an innovation in funding and delivering a service, and a service itself which has helped change the system.
An innovation – Newpin
Advocacy around Newpin has created momentum for SIBs and for outcome-based contracting.
Australia's first Social Impact Bond (SIB), Newpin, has become a totemic example of a new way of attracting private capital into social services. What's less well known is the way in which the advocacy around Newpin is leading governments across the country to rethink how they fund, test and deliver social services.
The Newpin SIB provides private capital to UnitingCare Burnside to run a service for children and families who are in contact with the child protection system. As intermediary, SVA raised the money for the SIB. The service is designed to reduce the number of children in out-of-home care and reduce the time they spend there. In its first two years it achieved a family restoration rate of 66 per cent and helped 35 families avoid children being placed in out-of-home care.[1]
… the discipline created through tying this to a financial instrument paid on outcomes added a new level of rigour rarely applied in the social sector.
There is good evidence that reducing exposure to out-of-home care improves the lives of children as well as reducing the likelihood of future homelessness and involvement in the criminal justice system. As a result, it also has the potential to significantly reduce the costs to Government (which funds out-of-home care and the other down-stream services), and so also has the capacity to pay a performance payment to investors based on the estimated savings resulting from achieving the social outcomes.
Newpin has several inherent elements which support an advocacy initiative. An evidence base had already been established for the program but the discipline created through tying this to a financial instrument paid on outcomes added a new level of rigour rarely applied in the social sector.
Government was also a partner from the start, and so relationship building and educating decision-makers was a natural part of the co-design of the SIB. Co-design with government can be a very powerful part of your theory of change because there is also co-ownership and responsibility for success.
All governments are financially constrained, so presenting a private sector financing solution is an important part of understanding the environment government is operating in.
… the advocacy looks more like 'test and replicate to scale' as a way of shifting the government-funded service system.
As a result of Newpin's success, the NSW Government is currently undertaking its second round of SIBs, the SA Government has recently announced its first SIB, and the Governments of Victoria, Queensland and WA are examining SIB pilots, as is the Commonwealth.
The UnitingCare service itself is also being closely examined as a model by other state governments and out-of-home care has been a focus in a number of the SIB discussions.
In this case, the advocacy looks more like 'test and replicate to scale' as a way of shifting the government-funded service system.
But there is also deeper and more lasting impact, which has the potential to create a cultural shift within government.
…showing how outcomes in one part of the social services system can create significant savings – or costs – in other parts of the system.
Since the return on the private investment is linked directly to agreed metrics of success in the social program, and the right data is collected to measure these outcomes, Newpin also provides a blue print for outcomes-based payments. This knowledge can be transferred to all kinds of other social programs with or without an SIB as the funding mechanism.
And it has also shone some light on the relationships between separate government departments and the walls that separate them. This has shown how outcomes in one part of the social services system can create significant savings – or costs – in other parts of the system.
An intensive program for children and families might appear expensive, but when you look at the potential costs associated with children who do poorly in out-of-home care – of police and jails, hospitals and shelters, then you start to realise the true cost across departments.
This approach has the potential over time to better align government service procurement to the outcomes that improve their clients' lives in the most efficient way.
The advocacy around Newpin has created momentum for SIBs and for outcome-based contracting.
Successful service model: The Michael and MISHA projects
Mission Australia's homeless programs, the Michael Project and its successor MISHA, provide another example of how a service can become a catalyst for systemic change.
In 2007, a highly motivated philanthropist approached Mission Australia to design a service for men in Sydney who experienced chronic homelessness, having slept rough on and off for years.
… the philanthropist had the explicit goal of using the service to advocate for systemic change.
The Michael Project's service model provided 'wrap-around' support to the men enabling them to access a range of services – from dentistry to psychology, to life skills and job training – tailored to their needs, when they needed them.
MISHA, which began in 2010, was also a housing first program: housing is provided to clients with security of tenure while they work on other issues, rather than having to live in transitional accommodation until those issues – such as a drug or alcohol addiction – are resolved.
What was unusual was that the philanthropist had the explicit goal of using the service to advocate for systemic change. A longitudinal study was conducted of the assisted men in both services as well as cost-benefit analyses (CBAs) – some of the earliest CBAs conducted on homeless programs in Australia.
Through this research, it was possible to demonstrate that the programs improved the lives of the men across multiple domains – health and wellbeing, social and economic participation, as well as housing.
After two years supported through MISHA, 89 per cent of clients were still securely housed despite their history of chronic homelessness. There had also been a drop in substance use disorders from 37 per cent to 7 per cent. Through the reduction in use of government services, particularly hospital admissions, the program had delivered a saving to government of just over $8,000 per client per year.[2]
Like Newpin, MISHA has provided an evidence-based solution that didn't previously exist.
Unexpected findings also highlighted the need to change service designs and became an important part of the advocacy.
This gave Mission Australia a platform to conduct more traditional advocacy – presenting the findings to state and federal government ministers and making submissions to parliamentary inquiries; speaking in the media and engaging the organisation's supporter base.
As a result of MISHA and similar programs, the combination of housing first, assertive case management and tailored intensive support is now built into the Government funded homeless service system for chronically homeless men. The lessons learned have become the new normal. That neither MISHA or the Michael Project still operate as a unique service is in this case a success.
Unexpected findings also highlighted the need to change service designs and became an important part of the advocacy. The very high rates at which the men had been exposed to trauma, such as being threatened with a weapon or held captive, contributed to a shift towards trauma-informed practice within homeless services.
It's hard to argue with initiatives that save lives and money.
The empirical results on the changes to the men's wellbeing, including using internationally recognised tools like the Kesler scale for psychological distress, shifted a public conversation away from asking whether it was possible to solve a problem that seemed as intractable as homelessness. Peoples' lives were unequivocally improved.
The findings of the cost benefit analyses have also been influential in broader debates about government expenditure, including negotiations on whether the Commonwealth and States should continue to fund the National Partnership Agreement on Homelessness (NPAH) which delivered more than $1 billion in homeless service funding over four years. The NPAH was extended. It's hard to argue with initiatives that save lives and money.
Mission Australia deployed traditional advocacy tools including some public campaigning and direct lobbying as well as detailed mapping of the system. However, the impetus and the heart of this catalytic advocacy came from a successful and well evaluated service model.
While advocacy can seem daunting, there are a number of features of catalytic advocacy that can help you devise a strategy that has a big impact.
As Margaret Mead, the US anthropologist, said "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed it's the only thing that ever has".

In this scenario Confidence Accounting gets made into a compulsory Accounting Standard. This would involve the IASB or FRC becoming interested (higher up chart) and supportive (happy face). When in that state they may mandate it. If it was adopted as a standard, then it would be start to happen, without the necessity of using market forces.
Potentially the "mandate" route has some things going for it. The players are powerful and could theoretically do it if they were so inclined - they do not have to become more powerful for it to happen. However there is no immediate need or dilemma to motivate them to perform such a task, which would involve a considerable investment in time, and a unity and co-ordination of purpose that is not apparent.

Carbon monoxide is a tasteless, odorless, invisible gas that can build up in enclosed areas where fuels such as natural gas, gasoline, fuel oil, or wood are burned. When a person inhales carbon monoxide, it begins to replace the oxygen that is normally carried in the blood, which leads to carbon monoxide poisoning.
Fuels that produce carbon monoxide are burned in indoor heating systems, car engines, boat motors, cooking appliances, wood fires, and other places. Dangerous levels of carbon monoxide can build up in semi-enclosed or even open areas, including swim areas behind boats.
Carbon monoxide poisoning can cause headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If the exposure to carbon monoxide continues, a person may lose consciousness and even die. Carbon monoxide poisoning can be hard to identify. The symptoms can also be caused by several other illnesses.
Treatment for carbon monoxide poisoning involves bringing blood oxygen levels back to normal. It is important that an affected person be removed from the area where carbon monoxide may be present and begin oxygen therapy if needed.

When the young Shaykh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani became ruler of Qatar last month after his father stepped aside in a seamless transition, one of his first official acts was to seal the generational shift by appointing a new prime minister.
The man he chose, Shaykh Abdullah bin Nasser bin Khalifa al-Thani, is a veteran security official who will also become minister of interior. For the other monarchies of the six-member Gulf Cooperation Council, however, the lessons to be learned from the changes in Qatar lie less in the identities of individuals than in how to perpetuate a dynasty without protest or domestic controversy.
It has been extremely rare in the modern Arab world for a ruler who is in good health and unthreatened by domestic opposition to yield power voluntarily. The outgoing emir, Shaykh Hamad, is only 61 years old. He was often controversial as he spurred once-sleepy Qatar into high-profile ventures such as intervention in the Libyan revolution and open support for the rebels in Syria. Some of his neighbors were unhappy with his sponsorship of Al Jazeera and with the high visibility of his wife, Shaykha Moza, mother of Tamim, which made some Qataris uncomfortable, but by all accounts Hamad was secure on the throne.
All six Gulf monarchies are controlled by families that have ruled for generations, and except in Bahrain none has been threatened by the uprisings known as the Arab Spring. But all except Qatar face corrosive issues of longevity and of power-sharing within the families that could undermine their stability. Some have created respected, self-sustaining institutions of governance, such as the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency, but stability remains dependent on the competence and popularity of the man at the top. Devolution of power and diffusion of responsibility do not come naturally to aging men accustomed to ruling by decree.
In Saudi Arabia, by far the biggest and most powerful of the six, King Abdullah is nearly 90 and a transition in the near future seems inevitable. His half brother Prince Salman is his designated successor, but whoever becomes king will have to decide whether to follow the example of most of his predecessors and serve as his own prime minister.
Saudi Arabia, a complicated, growing country of about 27 million people, is a cornerstone of the international economy because of its oil exports. It is a member of the World Trade Organization and of the Group of 20 major economic powers. The kingdom faces intractable problems of unemployment, housing shortages, low quality education, and a diminishing water supply. It is probably beyond the capability of any man, of whatever age, to be the country's head of state, chief of government, and religious exemplar all at once, as Abdullah has been. It would make sense to separate the monarch's role from that of a trusted prime minister of known competence and integrity who would be seen by the public as committed to improving public services.
But all Saudis over the age of 60 have unhappy memories of the 1950s, when the two jobs were separated in a power struggle between King Saud and his brother, Prince Faisal. The country's development was inhibited for years by their rivalry. When Faisal prevailed, he re-consolidated the two positions so that the head of state is also the chief operating officer of the government. Each crown prince since Faisal has also held the title of First Deputy Prime Minister, but all true power has resided with the king. Though this arrangement is likely no longer tenable, the al-Saud rulers may cling to it because the alternatives are not appealing.
The rulers do not wish to emulate the example of Kuwait, where the state has been impeded for years by power struggles within the ruling al-Sabah family and between the family and a fractious parliament. The emir, Shaykh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Sabah, 83, took office in 2006 after an intra-family dispute between the al-Jaber and al-Salem branches. He then appointed two men from his Jaber branch to be prime minister and crown prince.
This move resolved the leadership dispute, according to a recent report by the Congressional Research Service, but at the expense of the two branches' historic agreement to alternate succession between them. "Tensions between the two branches…have since simmered," the research report noted, "and no permanent alternative mechanism has been agreed to replace the previous power-sharing agreement between them"—a gap that has created an opening for an increasingly vociferous opposition.
Nor are the Saudis comfortable with the arrangements in Bahrain, where they intervened militarily in 2011 to help the ruling family, who are Sunni Muslims, put down demonstrations by the Shi`i majority populace.
Bahrain has been run by the al-Khalifa dynasty since 1793. The current ruler, King Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa, 63, ascended to the top job in 1999, but the most powerful man in the country has long been his uncle, Prime Minister Khalifa bin Salman al-Khalifa. He has been in office since Bahrain achieved independence in 1971, and was denounced by human rights groups and opposition demonstrators during the 2011 uprising as an uncompromising hard-liner out of touch with the citizens. In March, Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa, who has worked closely with the United States and is perceived to be more flexible than the prime minister, was named first deputy prime minister, an apparent gesture to the opposition.
The problem of centralized power is perhaps most acute in Oman. There the longtime ruler, Sultan Qaboos bin Said, is also prime minister as well as minister of defense, foreign affairs, and finance. At the age of 71, he has no male heir and has not publicly designated a successor.
The sixth GCC country, the United Arab Emirates, operates differently from the others because it represents a union of multiple dynasties. The chief of state is the ruler of Abu Dhabi, always a member of the al-Nahayan family. The prime minister is the ruler of Dubai, from the al-Maktoum clan. This arrangement threatened to unravel during the first few years of independence in the 1970s, but has since stabilized because Dubai and the smaller emirates accept the primacy of Abu Dhabi, which controls the oil money. Each of the emirates sets its own social policies, such as whether to permit alcoholic beverages, but the central government is responsible for security, defense, and foreign affairs.
The ruling families of the GCC states have long histories of survival and of adaptation to changing circumstances. Those histories began when their dominions were isolated and impoverished and their people were uneducated. Now they face very different circumstances, and discontent is in the air throughout the Arab world.
As Mohammed el-Katiri wrote in a paper published last month by the U.S. Army War College, "the GCC states constitute a mosaic of countries facing much underlying—and until now unresolved—social, geopolitical, and economic conflict potential, including both domestic and external threats to their long-term stability." Qatar, with a small population, vast natural gas wealth, and no transition issues, seems well-equipped to forge ahead. The others face sterner tests.

Kaia Gerber Shows Off Her Good Genes
Story from Fashion
Kaia Gerber Shows Off Her Good Genes In Calvin Klein Jeans
Channing Hargrove
The Calvin Klein family just keeps on growing. In November, it launched its now recurring ad series, "Our Family #MyCalvins," shot by photographer Willy Vanderperre and overseen by the company's chief creative office Raf Simons. Its mission? "Whether you're related or you bond over shared dreams, family is what you make it," according to he brand's site. "A patchwork of individuals, unified and unbreakable. That's our family. What's yours?"
Since then, Calvin Klein has championed good music by featuring Solange Knowles (and her handpicked crew of fellow artists, including Kelela and Dev Hynes), and friends who do classic denim via the A$AP Mob. And on Thursday, the label introduced the latest imagery with a literal pair of siblings. The new campaign, which will run through the spring, stars Cindy Crawford's gorgeous offspring, Kaia and Presley Gerber.
OUR YOUTH. #MYCALVINS. @kaiagerber and @presleygerber have been close since childhood. Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber's kids, shot here by @willyvanderperre. Discover more at calvinklein.com/mycalvins. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Show us your family, and follow #MYCALVINS to see more from around the world.
A post shared by CALVIN KLEIN (@calvinklein) on Jan 4, 2018 at 5:00am PST
In September, Gerber took New York Fashion Week by storm, making her runway debut for Calvin Klein, followed by appearances at Coach, Alexander Wang, Fenty x Puma by Rihanna, and Marc Jacobs. And that doesn't even include the shows she walked in Europe. Not unlike her model mother, Gerber's fashion resume just gets more impressive by the minute. And the last time we saw Kaia and her older brother, who's walked for Moschino, Dolce & Gabbana, and Ralph Lauren, together, it was when they had a sibling moment at Burberry's fall 2017 show.
Considering the Gerbers are inspiring people across billboards nationwide, it's more than appropriate that actual genetics would be the focus of this particular ad, as they pose in a vintage barn. A statement from the brand reads: "The talent featured will represent the bridging of several generations stylistically, musically, and culturally. They will bring their stories to life as 'Our Family' with family and community at the epicenter of the conversation."
"The overarching message of the campaign has family at its center, a display of unity between strong individuals, further emphasized by the symbolism of the traditional American quilt," a statement from the all-American brand continues. "This campaign captures these bonds and brings to life different ways we can inspire families — both born and made — to connect with one another, and celebrate the things that unite us."
And for the Gerbers, it's beautiful bone structure and an iconic mother. The apple certainly doesn't fall far from the tree.

Q: ng-table work with user inputted filter I have a scenario where i will be doing a page refresh of a ng-table but i don't want to lose any user inputted filters when the page refreshes.
The idea is to store the user inputted data in the controller, then push that data back into the filter input box after the page refresh.

    {{user.name}}

    {{user.age}}

name = {{ params.filter()[name] }}
 //i thought this might be the way to get the filter data

example here: https://plnkr.co/edit/z98RLOX9AUOoX9c7x00d?p=preview
If I type "mor" into the "name" filter box, I want to be able to use "mor" in my controller to push it back into the filter after a page refresh, so the user doesnt lose any search filters they have used.
Is this possible?

A: To get filter data, it can use tableParams.filter().

name = {{ tableParams.filter()['name'] }}

And you can use 'sessionStorage' to keep the search filters. Then the data will not lost after page refresh.

A: ASCII '0' is actually 48 in scalar form, so subtract it out:
resInt[i] = res[i] - '0';

A: Character literals are of type int in C. You can convert a char type simply by assigning to an int. However, the resulting int values will be ASCII values. So you need to subtract out the ASCII value of char '0' to get the actual value.
resInt[i] = res[i] - '0';

With its robust growth rates of around 5% for each of the five quarters up to and including Q3 20181, Poland has proved a boon for investors hunting for above-average returns in emerging markets. But its upgrade from emerging to developed market status in FTSE Russell indices and by Stoxx in September last year may actually have created a potential pitfall.
Following the stock market correction in Poland over the first half of 2018, and the lows for that year recorded in October, caution seems warranted. A noticeable economic slowdown in the region2, growing and potentially serious political disagreements with EU members and within the country itself (recently mirrored in the tragedy in Gdansk), as well as the sometimes blurry political agenda3 of Warsaw, may dampen the outlook for pampered investors.

Wyżni Teriański Staw (, , ) – jeden z trzech Teriańskich Stawów, położony na wysokości 2109 m n.p.m., w Niewcyrce (odnodze Doliny Koprowej), w słowackich Tatrach Wysokich. Był mierzony przez Alfreda Lityńskiego w latach 1910–1916, ale pomiary te są niedokładne. Pomiary pracowników TANAP-u z lat 60. XX w. wykazały, że miał on powierzchnię 0,549 ha, wymiary 190 × 55 m i głębokość ok. 4,2 m.

Jest to jeden z najwyżej położonych stawów w Tatrach (trzeci lub czwarty z kolei). Leży w karze lodowcowym, otoczony zwałowiskiem głazów z bardzo ubogą roślinnością i często bywa pokryty lodem. Nie posiada odpływu. W kilku miejscach pionowe ściany skalne opadają wprost do lustra wody. Znajduje się na obszarze ochrony ścisłej TANAP-u i nie prowadzi do niego żaden szlak turystyczny.

Wyżni Teriański Staw otoczony jest:
 od południa przez Ostrą,
 od południowego zachodu przez Krótką,
 od północnego wschodu przez Furkot i szczyt Hrubego Wierchu,
 od północy przez Grań Hrubego

JYP's TWICE has just achieved another 200 million viewed MV on Youtube.
On October 11th, TWICE's "What is Love?" MV in the fifth mini album released on April 9th this year has officially exceeded 200 million views on YouTube. It took more than 184 days for the MV to reach this milestone.
This is the seventh MV of the girlgroup from JYP to achieve this after "TT", "LIKEY", "CHEER UP", "Like OOH-AHH", "Heart Shaker" and "KNOCK KNOCK". At this time, TWICE alone is enough to beat SM's artists on YouTube because SM has only five MVs with 200 million views including "Monster", "Call Me Baby" (EXO), "Gee", "I Got A Boy" and "The Boys" (SNSD).

Tea Guy Speaks: Tea Review 149 - Tozy Tea Up North!
This one will be short and sweet. There's not much to go on with Tozy's description of their Up North! black tea. They refer to it as "A Bold Blend of Black Tea" and "Handpicked Chinese black tea." I'm guessing that it's primarily Yunnan. What I have no doubt about is that I liked this one quite a bit. The truest test of how much I like a tea is how long it lingers in my tea cabinet after I receive it. This one was out of there in nearly record time. Good stuff. That's all.
Thanks for the kind words and kudos on an excellent guess as to origin. It's a blend from the Yunnan and Anhui provinces.

Safety is an important factor to consider when shopping for a new vehicle, particularly for families with children. With today's technology, it's simply not acceptable to purchase a new vehicle if it doesn't have the safety features that are important for all of the passengers in your car.
This article will introduce you to the many safety features available on the 2014 Ford Flex, including preventative safety features, safety features in the event of an accident, and safety features designed specifically for children and teens.
You can use the links below to jump to a section, or read the article in full by scrolling down.
The 2014 Ford Flex comes with a number of preventative safety measures, many of them tied to electronic stability control systems.
One concern that comes up often, particularly with people who are switching from a shorter vehicle, is that the long wheelbase of the Flex might affect its ability to corner safely. Ford addressed this problem by implementing a system called AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control (RSC) and Curve Control. There's a lot of very detailed engineering that goes into this system, but basically, it works by using gyroscopic sensors to measure how quickly going around a curve, and can apply the brakes to individual wheels to help you maintain control without slipping and rolling over.
In addition, the Traction Control System, which comes standard on every new Ford model, uses sensors to determine how much traction each wheel has. Several times per second, it can adjust braking and engine control to ensure that the wheels that are receiving power are only those that have traction.
Trailer Sway Control, which works in conjunction with the AdvanceTrac RSC system, and which comes with the Class III Trailer Tow Package, incorporates additional software that can detect the motion of a trailer being pulled by the Flex. It applies braking and engine adjustments to individual wheels to help the driver maintain control over the trailer, especially around corners and in high winds. For every driver, but particularly for those who have less experience with maintaining control over a trailer, Trailer Sway Control offers an additional layer of confidence, safety and control.
The combination of an Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) and Brake Assist offer drivers more of an ability to maintain control of the Flex in extreme braking situations. ABS works by detecting how much traction a wheel has, and pumps the brakes automatically in order to maximize braking without the wheel slipping. When a wheel loses traction and starts to skid, the driver no longer has control over the direction or speed of the wheel, and ABS helps the driver to maintain control. Brake Assist aids in this process by detecting when the brake pedal is applied suddenly, but without enough power to provide full deceleration. It then applies extra braking power in order to reduce stopping distance. In a nutshell, when you slam on your brakes in an emergency braking situation, ABS keeps you from braking too much and losing control, while Brake Assist keeps you from braking too little.
Every new Ford vehicle, including the 2014 Ford Flex, comes standard with features like the Tire Pressure Monitoring System, which monitors each individual wheel's tire pressure and can alert you when a tire is getting low or is over inflated, as well as the BeltMinder system, which chimes and flashes an alert every 30 seconds for five minutes if the driver or the front passenger are unbuckled while the vehicle is running. These features have been standard on Ford vehicles for several years.
In addition, the 2014 Ford Flex comes standard with a number of anti-theft security systems, including a standard SecuriLock Invisible Keypad, for keyless entry. This allows you to get in your car, even if you don't have a key, by using a secure code. The keypad is invisible until touched, blending into the black B-column of the vehicle. When touched, the numbers illuminate, allowing you to enter the code to unlock the vehicle. This is particularly handy if you have accidentally locked the keys inside, since you will no longer have to wait for roadside assistance to show up for you to regain access to your vehicle.
Another standard security feature on the Flex is the SecuriLock Passive Anti-Theft System, which uses a specially coded ignition key. The car will not start unless the code in the key matches the code of the vehicle, and with billions of possible combinations, the likelyhood of a would-be thief absconding with your vehicle using a fake key are very low.
In addition, every Flex comes standard with a Perimeter Anti-Theft Alarm, which will sound when any unauthorized entry is detected, including entry of the doors, hood or liftgate when the vehicle is locked. If the alarm is triggered in error, it can be turned off using the remote access key, or by inserting the correct key into the ignition.
The 2014 Ford Flex features 6 standard airbags, including dual-stage front airbags, front-seat side airbags, and side-curtain airbags, located in the roof side rail behind the headliner, which deploy downward and outward toward the side window opening to protect the heads of outboard passengers in all three rows. These side-curtain airbags are often referred to as the Safety Canopy System.
In addition, Second-Row Inflatable Safety Belts are available on any 2014 Ford Flex. These use cold-compressed air to inflate the safety belts for second row passengers, thus spreading out the crash forces across an area five times larger than a standard safety belt. This reduces the likelihood of injury, and more effectively holds the passenger in the appropriate seating position. There is no difference in day-to-day normal operation of these inflatable safety belts versus normal safety belts.
Every Flex is also equipped with the Personal Safety System, which uses sensors to determine the appropriate amount of airbag deployment necessary to keep the passengers in the vehicle safe in the event of a crash. It will then tailer the deployment of the airbags depending on the severity of the crash, driver and passenger seat belt use, driver seat position, and passenger classification.
All of these airbag features are compatible with properly-installed child and infant safety seats or booster seats.
There are a number of Structural Safety Features built into the Flex as well, including a collapsible steering column, which collapses in different directions and amounts depending on crash severity, energy-absorbing side door trim, which redirects the energy from a crash away from the vehicle occupants, and side-intrusion door beams, which help prevent intrusion into the passenger compartment in the event of a side-impact collision.
In the event of an accident, it is important that EMS and other first-responders can get to you quickly. To address this, every Ford vehicle now comes standard with the SOS Post Crash Alert System, which will activate the hazard flashers and sound the hord repeatedly in the event of a crash where the airbags deploy. In addition, it will turn on all of the interior lighting and security approach lamps equipped on the vehicle, for increased visibility. This will alert other drivers to the crash, and if your vehicle goes off the road, it will help first-responders to find your vehicle quickly. It can be disabled by simply pressing the button for the hazard lights. In the event of an accident where the battery or the hardware for the SOS system is damaged, it may not work properly.
The Ford Flex has been rated as a 2013 Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), receiving the highest rating of "Good" for the Moderate Overlap Front Impact, Side Impact, and Roof Strength tests. The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) gave the Ford Flex a 4-star Overall Rollover Rating.
The 2014 Ford Flex, in addition to all of the other safety features, comes with a number of features specifically tailored for children and teens.
The Flex comes standard with the LATCH system (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children), which allow you to safely and easily secure infant and toddler car seats in your vehicle, as well as booster seats for older children. The Flex comes with three seats that are equipped with the LATCH System: two in the second row, and 0ne in the third row. This is a system standard across car manufacturers as well as across car seat manufacturers, and is designed for maximum safety, security, ease of use, and consistency across different types of vehicles and with different types of carseats.
The Flex is also equipped with Child Safety Locks for the second row passenger doors, to prevent children from accidentally opening the doors while the vehicle is in motion. They are easy to enable or disable, and are a proven and effective safety measure.
The Flex comes standard with the MyKey system, which is a first in the automotive industry. This system allows you to program a number of keys with specific settings for things like Maximum Speed, Maximum Audio Volume Limiter, a persistent BeltMinder, and an earlier Low-Fuel Warning. This system was designed with teen and inexperienced drivers in mind, and has been proven to encourage safer driving habits. In addition, you can also track miles driven for a specific key, as well as set speed warning chimes at 45 mph, 55 mph, 65 mph and 75 mph.

Patrick Crowley, founder and CTO, founded Observable Networks in 2011 to bring to market the company's endpoint modeling technology. For over a decade, Patrick has been a leading researcher on deep packet inspection (DPI) technologies within various academic, commercial, & government communities. In 2010, Patrick came to the realization that future security defenses would soon require new approaches and viable solutions that were insensitive to data encryption and the recognition of threat signatures. Additionally, Patrick is Professor of Computer Science & Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis. His research interests are in computer and network systems architecture, with a current focus on the design of programmable embedded network systems and the invention of superior network monitoring and security techniques.
Observable Networks offers a SaaS security service, based on the company's core technology referred to as "endpoint modeling". Endpoint modeling uses network activity much like your credit card company uses transaction data which is to develop an understanding of normal roles and activities for each of the IP network endpoints communicating on the corporate network or within the company's public and private cloud assets. Using this behavior understanding, Observable's service automatically recognizes potential threats in a company's network through the changes in endpoint behavior caused by these threats. Observable's service provides dashboard, UI, and API interfaces for customers to review and research threat notifications or alerts.
They believe in following the strategies – firstly, to continue to enrich endpoint modeling in depth of modeling fidelity and breadth of modeling data and secondly, to amplify the "as a service" element of our offer that is key to our go-to-market differentiation. Observable Networks uses real-time network flow data, automated security analytics, and the methods to continuously model all network devices.
Their clients benefit from a deep understanding of their endpoints normal behavior and automatic recognition of endpoints deviating from established roles. Clients of all sizes are translating these benefits into practical improvements in their security. As an example, a hospital is able to better understand how their patient monitoring equipment acts and understands when their manufacturers are accessing devices to upgrade software. In this case, the improved understanding of equipment and supplier relationships gives the hospital an edge in recognizing when a device might be compromised. In another example, an MSP partner has been able to very rapidly detect malware on a client's network and remediate before any damage was done due to Observable's detection of uncharacter-istic activity related to a machine on the network.
Endpoint modeling provides a compelling opportunity to change the way we think about achieving corporate network security. Fundamentally, endpoint modeling switches the basis of security from "knowing your enemy" to "knowing yourself". This means that instead of attempting to know all of the attackers, all of the vectors of potential attacks, and all of the methods of attack (which is a non-achievable objective), endpoint modeling provides a means for companies to recognize an attack just by the changes that attack causes in otherwise well understood endpoint behavior.

Q: Calculate the Riemann tensor and Ricci tensor Given a metric tensor $\gamma_{ij}$ (where $i, j = 1, 2, 3$; the metric tensor of 3- dimensional space is denoted by $\gamma_{ij}$ to distinguish it from the metric tensor $g_{\mu\nu}$ of 4-dimensional space-time), show that the Riemann tensor is equal to
\begin{equation} ^{(3)}R_{ijkl}=\frac{\xi}{R^2}\left(\gamma_{ik}\gamma_{jl}-\gamma_{il}\gamma_{jk}\right),\end{equation}
and
\begin{equation}^{(3)}R_{ij}=2\frac{\xi}{R^2}\gamma_{ij}\end{equation}
where $\xi=0,\pm 1$, distinguishes 3-plane, 3-sphere and 3-hyperboloid.
The first equation above looks quite simple, but I have no idea how to derive it. Can you please suggest me how to start deriving the above expressions?

Q: Paint Draw Image from another Thread? I read that you can increase the drawing speed/time by drawing with the paint event, and with that you can also draw unscaled.
So i would very much like to try it on my panel.
The problem is though, the image is recieved in another Thread then the GUI, and i don´t know how to give it to the paint event.
I really don´t want to invoke and stuff (as that is incredibly slow, at least when i have used it).
The code will look, something like this.
protected override void panel1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e, Image u)
{

        e.Graphics.DrawImageUnscaled(u, Point.Empty);

}

Though there i tried using override to add to add an image in the field, ald i wanted to make it static, so i could call it from a Thread. Sadly i t didn´t work.
But well, i tried.
private void panel1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
{

     //   e.Graphics.DrawImageUnscaled(u, Point.Empty);

}

There is the "working" one, except i can´t get the image to it.
I tried making an image variable, then save the image in that variable, and paint it.
but paint does never see the image in it, it can´t access the Image, guess cause it´s written from another thread.
//initialize
private Image Im;

////////

my Thread
 Im = Image.FromStream(....);
////////////7

         void panel1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
        {
                if(Im !=null)
                e.Graphics.DrawImageUnscaled(Im, Point.Empty);
        }

This is how i tried, and failed.

Forgive Your Unfaithful Partner and Let Go of Anger
The final stage of recovery involves forgiving your unfaithful partner. It takes courage and humility to let go of anger and the desire for revenge and to replace it with kindness, but it is possible.
By Dennis Ortman Updated: July 20, 2019Categories: Coping with Divorce, Divorce Recovery, Health and Well-Being
The final, and perhaps lifelong, stage of recovery involves forgiving your unfaithful partner. Those who have been traumatized are normally filled with rage at their offender. When you consider the harm she has caused you and your family, you may wonder if you ever want to, or ever can, forgive her. You might think to yourself, "I do not owe her forgiveness." That's true. Your forgiveness is a free gift. There is no obligation to show mercy. You may also wonder if you can ever get over the hurt and anger enough to say with sincerity that you forgive the wrong she has done. "It takes a saint to turn the other cheek," you reason. It certainly takes courage and humility to let go of anger and the desire for revenge and to replace it with kindness. But it is possible, with time, effort, and prayer.
Just as those who are dying protest in anger that death is being imposed on them against their will, those who have been betrayed are outraged at what is taken from them. It is only natural to feel anger, to protest the injustice suffered. It is normal to close yourself off behind a wall of anger for protection. However, if that wall of anger becomes a permanent structure in your life, it will imprison you. Your world will shrink, and you will suffocate. At some point, for your recovery to proceed, you need to let go of your anger. It is for your own sake. If you refuse to forgive either yourself or your partner, you will remain in the grip of your anger and hurt. The anger will eventually consume you, seep out in ways beyond your control, and result in continued unhappiness. The desire to punish your partner will rebound as a loss of inner peace. The anger will also color your view of the world, making it difficult to trust others, because you will be ever alert to being betrayed again.
Paradoxically, entering the fiery furnace of your anger provides an opportunity to purify your love. Let me explain. The opposite of love is not hatred, but indifference, the avoidance of intimacy. Both anger and love are passions directed toward those we care about. Intimacy is always a risk, approached with fear and trepidation, because when we care about another we open ourselves to the inevitability of being hurt. We allow ourselves to become vulnerable to another. Because we are unique individuals, misunderstandings, disappointments, and separations happen often in every intimate relationship. Infidelity provides a near ultimate test of love. At that moment of betrayal, our vulnerability is exposed. Our lover has become our enemy, and we naturally react with anger to nurse the wound. By embracing the rage we feel at the betrayal, any superficial consolations we received from the relationship are destroyed. The ensuing struggle to forgive and love again produces a different quality of love, a more mature and wiser love. As Jesus repeatedly taught his disciples and demonstrated by his life and death, the highest form of love is the love of our enemy, of those who have harmed us. The price of such a love is a dying to ourselves, a generous giving of ourselves for the good of another, without expectation of return.

NCCI condemns act of labelling candidates for constable post as SC/ST/ OBC on their chests
May 4, 2018 /0 Comments/in News from NCCI, Statements /by Dalit & Tribal/ Adivasi Concerns
Pic Source: zeenews.india.com
Despite the right to non-discrimination on the basis of race or caste enshrined in Article 15 of the Indian Constitution, discrimination against SCs and STs is pervasive. Markings of "SC" for scheduled caste, "ST" for scheduled tribe, "O" for OBC (other backward class) and "G" for General, of candidates for the post of constable on their chests in a bid to identify their castes during their medical examination in Dhar district of BJP ruled state, Madhya Pradesh, is not only a violation of human rights but also a criminal offence under the SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act.
As per news agency reports, candidates who were undergoing medical examination in a district hospital of Dhar district were labelled with their castes. It says that in order to identify the SC/ST and general candidates, the district hospital came up with this idea and asked the candidates to write their respective caste names on their chests. Medical board member and civil surgeon S.K. Khare denied the allegations and said markings were not intended to hurt anyone or show them in a poor light. It was done to make the process easier as each category has job quotas and markdowns in requirements. The Superintendent of Police, Dhar dist. said there was no instruction from the police to mention the caste of a candidate on their chests. "An inquiry has been initiated. Those found guilty will be punished," he added.
Such acts are intentionally severe in their prescriptions. National Council of Churches in India strongly condemns such inhuman acts and urges the state to take swift and robust action against the medical and police officials for violating the rights of Dalits, Adivasis and OBCs.
