Markoosie Patsauq (, Selbstbezeichnung mit dem Vornamen Markoosie, * 24. Mai 1941 bei Inukjuaq, Québec; † 8. März 2020 in Inukjuaq) war ein Inuit-kanadischer Schriftsteller. John Amagoalik ist sein jüngerer Bruder.

Leben
Markoosie besuchte die Grundschule in Inukjuaq/Port Harrison. Er gehörte zu den Familien, die 1953 zu Zeiten des Kalten Kriegs von der kanadischen Regierung in die Hocharktis (Resolute Bay) umgesiedelt wurden. Bereits vor der Abreise war er an Tuberkulose erkrankt, weshalb er 1954 für zwei Jahre in das Krankenhaus von The Pas in Manitoba kam. Hier erhielt er Unterricht auf Englisch, lernte durch Mitpatienten auch etwas Cree und las Comics. 1961 machte er seinen Abschluss an der Sir John Franklin High School in Yellowknife (Nordwest-Territorien) und 1967 seinen Flugschein (Training bei dem Flieger Welland Phipps). 1971 holte ihn Jean Chrétien (damals Minister für die Belange der Ureinwohner) in das Direktorium des Unternehmens Panarctic Oils, Ltd. 1975 kehrte Markoosie nach Inukjuaq zurück, wo er ab 1978 in der öffentlichen Verwaltung tätig war (Gemeinderat von Inukjuak, Regionalregierung von Kativiq).

Werk
Bekannt wurde Markoosie durch seine Erzählung Harpoon of the hunter, die als erste schriftlich fixierte Inuit-Erzählung gilt. Im Mittelpunkt steht der 16-jährige Kamik, der mit den Jägern seiner Siedlung auszieht, um einen vermutlich tollwütigen Eisbären zu erlegen. Kamiks Vater wird getötet, Kamik überlebt schließlich als einziger der Gruppe. Beim Umzug der verbliebenen Siedlungsbewohner in eine andere Siedlung ertrinken seine Mutter sowie seine künftige Braut und sein Schwiegervater, woraufhin er sich das Leben nimmt. Den Haupterzählstrang bildet Kamiks Perspektive, eingeflochten sind die Perspektive von Kamiks Mutter, eines weiteren Siedlungsbewohners und die des Eisbären.

Das Werk erschien zuerst 1969/70 auf Inuktitut in reduzierter Silbenschrift (ohne Silbenendkonsonanten und Längenzeichen) unter dem Titel  (meint ), aufgeteilt auf drei Ausgaben der Zeitschrift . 1970 folgte eine vom Autor selbst angefertigte Übertragung ins Englische als Buch mit dem Titel Harpoon of the hunter.

This atom-thin coating can supercharge battery performance
Researchers from the University of Queensland have developed a super-thin cathode coating that can help high-voltage lithium-ion batteries last longer.
Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries power much of modern life, including our smartphones, computers, and electric vehicles, as well as renewable energy storage.
However, they are not without flaws. Li-ion batteries can have safety hazards depending on their chemistry, and they may contain cobalt, a pricey and poisonous metal that has been utilized in batteries for decades.
A group of nanotech experts led by the University of Queensland (UQ) has published research describing a new super-thin protective covering that could solve some major li-ion battery problems.
The study, which was published in Nature Communications, shows how this layer can"more than double" the life expectancy of high-voltage li-ion batteries, from a typical average of several hundred charge/discharge cycles to over 1000.
The researchers chose to focus on enhancing the cathode, the positive side of the battery, according to senior author Professor Lianzhou Wang of UQ's Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology and School of Chemical Engineering.
"If you look at a battery, there are two key components: a cathode and an anode, and in between there's a membrane and also there are some electrolytes," Wang told create.
"The cathode is about 40% of all the costs in the battery system — and it's also the bottleneck".
"If you look at the current state-of-the-art cathode material in commercial products, the specific capacity that cathode can deliver is about 150 to 200 milliampere hour per gram (mA h g), but the very common anode materials — like graphite, for example — can deliver more than 300 to 370 mA h g," he said. "So, one side's capacity is much higher than the other side."
The UQ team set out to create a new cathode layer that might withstand corrosion while also extending battery life.
Atomic-thin crystal coating
Despite the lithium-ion battery's importance (the researchers who invented it got the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2019), finding a cathode material that has a high energy density, is cost-effective, and does not harm the environment has been difficult.
Early-generation lithium-ion batteries, which were initially commercialized by Sony in the early 1990s, use lithium cobalt oxide as a cathode material, which is highly efficient but has other drawbacks, according to Wang.
"The lithium cobalt material is good, but the cobalt itself is toxic, and the cost is quite expensive, so this is a problem — and also it's got some safety problems," he continued.
Alternatives such as nickel and manganese can be stable, but they can dissolve into the electrolyte and damage the battery system over time.
Wang and his team used the epitaxy technique to build a coating for a lithium, nickel, and manganese-based cathode material. The cathode particles are coated with a one-atom thick layer of lanthanum, nickel, manganese, and oxygen crystal.
This protective layer allows for a high-voltage battery (about 4.5V) while also reducing cathode erosion.
"This is the key innovation of work, with this mono-layer protection, the dissolution of the nickel and manganese become more difficult," Wang explained.
When tested using a graphitic carbon anode and a non-aqueous electrolyte solution at a testing facility, the team discovered a capacity retention of about 77 percent after 1000 cycles.
Scaling up and commercialising
The protective material could be commercialized in two to three years, according to Wang, although there is still work to be done. The next step is to scale up, moving from coin-sized batteries to medium- and large-scale testing, in collaboration with industry and the CSIRO.
Trailblazer, a newly formed $242.7 million federal government program, aims to speed up the commercialization of research like this.
Curtin University, in collaboration with UQ and James Cook University, will lead the Resources and Critical Minerals stream of the program, which was announced in April.
Curtin's Director of Commercialisation, Rohan McDougall, told create that 33 industry partners are on board.
"They range from companies that are looking at how to process and value-add to minerals, [such as] Linus, who are looking at collaborating on optimisation of processing rare earths in Australia and their processing facilities internationally," he said.
"There are others that are looking at products ranging from processing of lithium, improving efficiency and extraction and processing of elements like nickel and cobalt, and then even looking at production of cathodes and anodes and battery cells."
As part of Trailblazer, Wang said UQ is collaborating with industry to enhance battery materials.
One aspect of Curtin's Trailblazer approach, according to McDougall, will be incentivizing academics to collaborate more closely with industry — for example, through promotional schemes or revenue-sharing initiatives — to"make sure that they can share an upside if there's any benefit that results from practical implementation of technology developed in those areas".
Another aspect will include "working with industry on delivery of course content to give a more applied experience for students, so they understand what the career pathway looks like and can move more seamlessly into those career pathways".
While the program will provide a considerable financial boost to commercialization efforts, McDougall believes that human resources are also needed.
"We certainly have high hopes that it will provide the resources that we need but one of the challenges we're going to have will be recruitment of skilled people that are needed to provide a flow through of people from the university into industry," he added.
He suggested people who are interested in the program should "get in touch with us, because we're going to be looking for people".

Carpeting Cleaning Machines – Are They Right for Your Needs?
Whatever means you might employ for cleansing your carpeting, you cannot eliminate the opportunity of dirt and dirt entering your house. This is particularly true when you have pets and also or children at home. Even the most effective maintained homes will have deposits of dirt and also food preparation remains due to which your rug colors begin to look plain. Owning a carpet cleansing maker or getting one on lease can change the expert rug cleaning services. Vacuuming alone is not appropriate also if you have no youngsters or animals in your home, and also you take great care of your carpeting. Rugs are vulnerable to attracting undetectable dirt fragments, which resolve beneath the fibers and slowly spoil your rug, decreasing its life expectancy.
Also referred to as 'vapor cleaner', an extractor forces a cleansing option through the carpeting and also attracts the solution out, using a very powerful vacuum cleaner. Particular designs are geared up with a heating unit, as hot water is more effective for removing oily discolorations and dirt. local carpet cleaning companies Though this plan offers the deepest cleansing, it leaves the carpeting soggy.
Commonly suggested for big industrial areas, the principle of procedure of this equipment is similar to that of a carpeting extractor, except the reality that it incorporates a brush for scrubbing the rug while cleaning agent is pumped into and removed from the carpeting.
It involves dry carpeting cleaning and it does not deep clean your carpet. It uses a hood, or round pad, that is positioned on a normal floor buffer. In this instance, the dust gets pulled up because of friction. Your carpet ends up being dry rapidly.
You will find that the majority of cleansing devices drop in the very first 2 groups of equipments. A vital consideration is the intake of power. Specialist rug cleansing firms employ truck installed systems. A generator mounted on the vehicle provides the needed power to the machine, assisting in an extremely powerful suction that dries out the carpeting swiftly.

With this we also want to toast you all, who accompanied us so continuously/perseveringly since 2012! It will be a real European celebration. Versions of the film in German, Spanish, Greek, French, English and Italian are fixed/confirmed.
You can plan and prepare for this big day of action already now - together with us! All who helped to make this film a reality will receive a DVD in due time so that everyone can/should host his/her non-commercial premiere. Cinemas should be approached early. We can assist the arrangements. Look at this map to see if an event is scheduled at a place near you yet.
Bank rescue, financial crisis – old news? Not at all! Only last week, Mario Draghi, the former vice president of Goldman Sachs International and current president of the European Central Bank (ECB), announced a new gigantic bank saving scheme: The ECB intends to buy unsellable loan securitization from European banks – up to an amount of 500 to 685 billion. €!! This means that we, the tax payers, make the banks a gift worth just about four EU budgets. The amount that the banks are given would cover all EU expenses for four years, and the EU could wave four years of tax income.
And all this simply because in the last crisis, those loan obligations became an issue. These so-called asset backed securities (ABS) exist since about the year 2000; they insure loans. In the times before the ABS, the banks had to wait until a loan was reimbursed before they could make a new one. Now, with ABS, loans can be insured right away, and the bank is able to give out new loans immediately. These are then insured again. This enabled the banks to practically award unlimited loans with minimal equity. Draghi longs to return to these times of exploding loans like in the years between 2000 und 2007/2008; also because the banks are sitting on unsellable ABS worth 684 billion Euros. This is why Draghi asked the world's biggest hedge fund "Blackrock" to develop a concept in order to reinstate the trust into loan securitization. And the solution of the hedge funds obviously is optimal for the banks: tax payers have to take over the unsellable derivatives!
We are proud to announce that at last on 4/21/2014 the Public Eye Award was delivered to the so awarded investment bank Goldman Sachs. This renowned dishonor, that was voted by the Public Eye Award Jury to single out the most irresponsible institution in economics and finance, was previously announced in Davos in the neighborhood of the World Economic Forum 2013. The most amazing was that a member of the Goldman Sachs executive board accepted the award and thanked for it expressly.
This award was primarily earned by Goldman Sachs through its work in Greece: a commitment that we and the rest of the world believes should stand as an archetypical example of the work of Goldman Sachs around the world. Goldman's derivative deals, which fudged Greece's way into the Eurozone, pawned the future of the Greek people. Moreover, the managers of Goldman Sachs are masters of the revolving door: they secure the bank tomorrow's business via changes in political and public offices.
Because of this Goldman Sachs now received 2013 the famous Public Eye Award, the award of shame for the most irresponsible company of the year in finance and economics. And the representatives of Goldman Sachs, who accepted the award said, thank you for this!
The common currency brought many countries of the so-called EU-periphery in a situation of economic defensive. Even a country like France faces these kinds of dangers vis-à-vis the German export industry. Previously, these country simply could devaluate their currency, resulting in the German imported good being more expensive and the local products relatively more affordable. The EURO now makes this impossible. During interviews for the film "Who is saving whom?" we heard this argument over and over, and not only from nationalists. Everywhere the bottom is falling out of local industries due to the pressure of competition. All over Europe, the scissors between rich and poor are opening faster and faster. Add to this the catastrophic austerity policy prescribed by the German government.In such an environment, the slogans of the nationalists fall on fertile ground. Xenophobia and rejection of the common currency are going hand in hand and are straightforward answers.
Before the latest elections for the German Bundestag (House of Representatives) the minister of finances (Mr. Schäuble) had promised strict regulations to prevent speculation on foodstuff. These (regulations) have now been presented to the public in Brussels: Every EU-country shall decide for itself how it intends to take action against speculation on foodstuffs. That guarantees the ineffectiveness of any barriers. The country that regulates least will be best positioned economically. All speculative contracts on foodstuffs will be transacted on its stock exchanges. The Deutsche Bank is already the largest player worldwide in this dirty business. The NGO Foodwatch comments on this: It is not Wolfgang Schäuble, but much rather the management boards of the Deutsche Bank and other financial institutions which decide on the way forward.
That was already visible in 2011. The French president Nicolas Sarkozy appeared on the evening news of the 8th of October and said: At the next G20-Summit in Cannes, France will demand that financial speculation on basic foodstuffs shall be forbidden. Then, three and a half weeks later at the G20-Summit not a word about it in the final communique. France had withdrawn its proposition. In the interval after Sarkozy's announcement the hedge funds had mobilized their resources. The large corporations presented themselves to the Bundeskanzleramt (Federal Chancellery) in Berlin, to Downing Street in London, to the White House in Washington, to the Elysee Palace in Paris and said: "What were you thinking about? This is about the free market, we will not tolerate any intervention in the free market." And the G20.States cowed down to them.

VibraFusionLab Exhibition Turns Sound Into Sensation
By Gerard Creces
David Bobier performing on his installation Touch~Sound~Pulse 2017
Music is a universal language
It doesn't just cross cultures and borders, but the senses themselves.
Play a favourite record and you can feel the music flow through you – metaphorically speaking.
But for those without hearing, feeling the music takes on an entirely different meaning.
From Oct 10 – November 13, VibraFusionLab is combining the senses, turning sound into touch with a special touring exhibition at 629 Dundas Street.
Bridging Practices in Accessibility, Art and Communication explores vibration as an independent medium. The artists' works make sound tangible in a variety of ways – seats made of speakers, floors that rumble like bass bins, cymbals that act as speakers for their own sampled sounds. There are even transducer-fitted cushions that allow patrons to share the vibrations close to the body.
"We try to present another sensory experience around art making and art appreciation," said curator and exhibitor David Bobier. "We also consider deaf audiences and blind audiences and give them the opportunity to access the work."
Everything in the exhibit is done with complete accessibility in mind. It's what Vibrafusion does best.
Sound setting
Bobier said the exhibition had a difficult time finding a home, but eventually found the perfect space in an empty Old East Village storefront.
It's exposed brick and large ceilings amplify rather than deaden the sounds – making it all the more intimate when you're able to (as Marky Mark put it) feel the vibration.
Cymbalism by Gordon Monahan turns cymbals into speaker cones.
The lineup features four deaf/disabled artists and three non-disabled, each with some connection to VibraFusion. Bobier said the exhibition is an opportunity to combine those perspectives.
"It brings artists from both communities together," Bobier explained. "People get to explore and experience the aspects of other communities… trying to equalize the opportunties."
In addition to Bobier, artists Lindsay Fisher, Marla Hlady, Ellen Moffat, Gordon Monahan, Alison O'Daniel, and Lynx Sainte-Marie are also exhibiting.
Getting the feel
Bobier's piece features a music box mounted on a projector, which acts as sort of a player piano. Phrases in Braille are punched onto player paper for the music box, and the resulting sounds are pumped through the seat of an old school desk, retrofitted with several speakers.
As soon as you walk in the door you hear Monahan's Cymbalsim – four suspended cymbals with transducers to play back samples of the cymbals themselves.
Hlady's work allows visitors to feel the sounds from the ground up, with a raised platform equipped with speakers inside. Participants use sound balls, which alter the vibrations with movement.
Lindsay Fisher provides a hands-on approach to understanding and celebrating disability.
Other works, such as Moffat's Small Sonorities, show the visual side of vibration, while Fisher combines visual and tactile sensations through a wooden ball and hand fitted with transducers.
Cripping it up
The whole experience is an example of 'cripping' the arts – sharing experiences and changing public perception of disability from less than to different.
"It's using their own ability and experience and often different types of technology to celebrate (disability)," Bobier explained. "Cripping becomes a positive tool for understanding it."
Visitors still have two weeks to experience the exhibition, which heads to Toronto and Hamilton in the New Year.
Bridging Practices in Acessibility, Art and Communication is open from noon to 5 p.m. Wednesday, Friday and Saturday and from 12-9p.m. Thursdays.
Meanwhile, you can hear, see and feel the vibrations for yourself at 629 Dundas Street.

Save the World is een single van de Zweedse dj-groep Swedish House Mafia uit 2011. Het werd later toegevoegd aan het compilatiealbum Until Now uit 2012.

Achtergrond
Save the World is geschreven door Axwell, Steve Angello, Sebastian Ingrosso, Michel Zitron, Vincent Pontaré, John Martin en geproduceerd door de drie dj's van Swedish House Mafia. De vocalen op het nummer zijn van de Zweedse zanger John Martin. Het nummer is geschreven als set-afsluiter, het lied wat dj's spelen na een avond draaien. De vocalen en de piano in Save the World maken het nummer meer als popmuziek, in plaats van het normale house wat Swedisch House Mafia bij eerdere nummers liet horen. Het lied is ook ontstaan vanuit de vocalen en de piano, die zij het eerst hadden en wat Swedish House Mafia vervolgens als uitdaging zag om dat te gebruiken in een housenummer. Het lied was een grote internationale hit met de hoogste positie (#4) in het thuisland van de dj-groep. Ook in Nederlandssprekende gebieden deed het nummer het goed, met een 5e plaats in Vlaanderen en een 6e plaats in de Nederlandse Top 40. Safe the World was genomineerd voor een Grammy Award in de categorie Beste Dance Recording, maar won deze niet.

Judges in Malawi have gone on strike over the government's failure to replace their official vehicles.
The judges said they will not try another case until their fleet of 26 4×4 vehicles were exchanged for new ones – a promise made to them by the country's former president Bakili Muluzi.
The judges said that the some of the cars were 10 years old and needed constant attention, so the strike would go on indefinitely until their demands are met.
The government has ordered five new Toyota Prados, but said it could not afford the Mercedes or BMWs that the judges had asked for.

With Democrats plotting to make the minimum wage a major issue in this fall's congressional races, House Republican leaders are conceding that they may have to yield to pressure for an increase to the federal standard, which has been frozen for nearly a decade.
Faced with elections that could cost them control of Congress, John A. Boehner, the House majority leader, acknowledged Thursday that Republican leaders are likely to reverse course and hold a vote on a proposed minimum wage increase.
This is what happens when Democrats take a strong position and stick with it. Republicans have to pay attention, and something has to happen.
It's also lovely that the Majority Leader thinks that raising wages for the poorest working people is a "cynical ploy." I think it's "doing their job."

Q: Managed Package Patch: Is creation of helper js allowed for existent (already in patch) aura component? We have a lightning component along with js controller and apex controller in our managed package patch. Now we need to introduce helper js for this already existent component.
From my perspective since this aura bundle is already in the patch, we could do whatever we want inside bundle boundaries, i.e. package.xml file wouldn't be changed in any way.
Adding .css and .design files to this aura bundle works in the scope of patch. But trying to add even empty helper js fails with the following error:
    Cause(UNKNOWN_EXCEPTION): UNKNOWN_EXCEPTION: Managed Package Patch Modification Exception:
    A change was made to the patch release that will change the visible behavior of the application:
    Component can't be created because it will be automatically included in the package

Could you please shed some light on patch restrictions regarding aura bundles in particular - why one type of files are allowed, but not the other? Maybe there are some resources with a good description of patch restrictions mentioning concrete type of artifacts (desirably with examples), cause official docs are very general.

A: As far as I can tell, there's no decent resource for this level of granularity. However, I will say that, in the general case, adding a new code file (e.g. a renderer or helper) typically indicates that you're doing a major refactoring or introducing new features, not simply fixing a bug. Patches are meant to be used only for fixing bugs. You should not be trying to add new features or doing major refactoring in a patch release. That's why there's a bunch of rules about how you can't add new components, delete components, etc.
I would encourage you to file a feedback report on the Create and Upload Patches page so that they can get more details in there about what's allowed and not for Lightning. For now, I would strongly recommend that you do not try to do refactoring in a patch release, because that is not the intended purpose of patching.

Cookware Maintenance
The 5 Best Sauté Pans on the Market
Having a good sauté pan is critical to a well rounded kitchen. These large, high walled pans are fantastic for searing proteins, and even better for reducing sauces and broths. And many of these pans can easily go from stovetop to oven, making them total work horses of the kitchen. Whether you regularly cook with a sauté pan or are just curious, there is something here for you. Here are the five best sauté pans on the market.
High End Pick
Calphalon - Premier Series Sauté Pan
My pick for the all around, absolute best sauté pan.
ESLITE LIFE - 11 Inch Non-Stick Sauté Pan
My pick for the best sauté pan under $40.
Value Pick
Cooks Standard - Stainless Steel Pan
My pick for the best value for your money.
1. Cooks Standard - Classic Stainless Steel 5 Quart/11-Inch Sauté Pan
2. Ozeri - Stone Earth Sauté Pan
3. ESLITE LIFE - 11 Inch Non-Stick Sauté Pan
4. Calphalon - Premier Series Sauté Pan
5. Goodful - 5-Quart Stainless Steel Sauté Pan
Cooks Standard - Classic Stainless Steel 5 Quart/11-Inch Sauté Pan
Putting it through its paces and feeling the heft, it's hard to believe that the Cooks Standard Classic Stainless Steel isn't a $100 pan.
I really love this sauté pan. Putting it through its paces on the stovetop, and feeling its heft, it's hard to believe that this isn't a $100 pan - it's not.
First, the sheer quality and craftsmanship of the Cooks Standard Classic Stainless Steel is unsurpassed, not only by other items in this price range, but pretty much by anything else on the market. It's made from high gauge, 18/10 stainless steel inside and out, making the pan both visually pleasing - it easily matches that brushed stainless steel kitchen aesthetic - and easy to clean.
But the Cooks Standard is not just stainless steel. At the base, the pan is actually constructed from three layers, stainless steel on the outside, with an aluminum core interior. The aluminum core at the base is an excellent medium for rapid and even heat distribution. This kind of construction is standard on most well made stainless steel pans.
The materials used also make the Cooks Standard sauté pan induction stove compatible, and obviously, it will work well on gas and electric stovetops as well. The all metal design also makes this sauté pan oven and dishwasher safe, though I would really recommend against putting it in the dishwasher - any pan like this should be hand-wash only.
I also really like the size of this pan - it's 11 inches across, with side walls of about three inches. Coupled with a solid, stainless steel lid, the Cooks Standard is extremely versatile. Use it to sauté, or even boil, steam or fry.
If you have difficulty with weighty items, however, this pan may be challenging. Given its solid construction, it is quite hefty. That said, it's also got a stay cool helper handle positioned opposite to the regular handle for added stability.
All in all, I absolutely love this pan, and think given the ratio of quality to price, that it's just a no brainer.
Made from high quality, 18/10 gauge stainless steel inside and out that is aesthetically pleasing and makes for easy cleaning.
An aluminum disc on the base of the pan, between layers of steel, make for quick and even heat distribution.
Tough construction, heavy gauge aluminum cooks evenly.
The large size - 11 inches - and lid make the pan very versatile.
Induction compatible, and works with gas and electric.
Oven and dishwasher safe, though hand washing is recommended.
Exposed rivets on the interior of the pan may trap food.
Quite heavy (though with a helper handle).
Ozeri - Stone Earth Sauté Pan
The Ozeri Stone Earth Sauté Pan is our top choice for eco-friendly cookware guaranteed to keep chemicals far from your food.
The Ozeri Stone Earth Sauté Pan is really the top choice for consumers that are looking for an eco-friendly option that is both non-stick and free of any chemical additives. Ozeri uses a stone-derived coating from Germany that is - wait for it - APEO, GenX, PFBS, PFOS, PFOA, NMP and NEP free.
Admittedly, I've never heard of most of those chemicals, but that said, it still feels quite reassuring that the non-stick coating is guaranteed to keep your food safe. Plus, the non-stick coating actually works quite well, and I really like the textured stone design on the cooking surface.
The Ozeri Stone Earth is also quite large, with a five liter cooking capacity, and it comes with a tempered glass lid. I like glass lids a lot because they allow me to see my food while it's cooking. The lid also has a conveniently placed steam-release vent.
The handles - three of them, being the primary handle, the helper handle, and the lid handle, are all made from a comfortable, ergonomic silicone, though the material here also means that this pan is not oven safe. It's a trade off here - if you need an oven safe pan you'll need a different kind of handle, but solid metal handles just aren't as comfortable.
The magnetized base allows for rapid heat distribution, and the pan is also induction stove compatible - as well as working, of course, on all gas and electric stovetops. The only downside is that while the base seems to distribute heat quickly and evenly, it doesn't really hold the heat that well. Take this off the heat and it will cool down rather quickly.
All in all the Ozeri Stone Earth Sauté Pan is solid and efficient, especially for the price. It's great for multitasking, and most importantly, it's the top choice if you're looking to maintain a chemical free kitchen.
Uses an eco-friendly non-stick, stone-derived coating from Germany that is PFOS and PFOA free.
Tempered glass lid has a heat resistant handle and steam-release vent.
Large, with a five liter capacity.
Magnetized base allows for rapid heat transfer; induction stove compatible.
Comfortable, silicone handle and helper handle for high stability.
Not oven safe.
Does not hold heat very well.
This 11 inch sauté pan from Eslite Life is super functional and super affordable, and it looks pretty cool too.
This large, 11 inch non-stick sauté pan from Eslite Life is both aesthetically stunning and sturdy. I really like how this thing looks, but of course, wouldn't recommend a pan for that reason alone. In addition to hitting aesthetic marks, the Eslite Life sauté pan exceeds expectations when it comes to quality of design and functionality.
The pan's construction actually deserves quite a bit of discussion. The base of the pan - the most important component as far as materials are concerned - is made from three layers of die cast aluminum that conduct and accumulate heat.
On the sides, and around the aluminum alloy body, we have on the interior a scratch-resistant mineral layer and a non-stick layer, and on the outside, a reinforced mineral layer and a high temperature outer shell. All told, these layers come together to create a pan that is not only sturdy, but also slick and easy to clean.
Eslite Life also includes a large, tempered glass lid, with a steam vent. There are some occasions when I have really come to prefer glass lids as well, since they allow you to watch your food while it cooks. This is much better than lifting off an opaque lid, only to also release precious heat and steam.
Now, let's talk about the handle. While it looks really cool, with an aesthetically pleasing wood finish, it's actually synthetic. And although this isn't terrible - lots of handles are made from this variety of bakelite - it does mean that you can't put the pan in the oven.
The other small inconvenience is that after you buy the pan you'll have to attach the handle yourself. This is pretty simple, as it comes with the proper sized screw - so easy a child could do it - but a little annoying. Usually, when I pay for a product I want it to arrive ready to use.
But that said, you won't be paying top dollar for this pan, and that's the major upside. It's very affordable, and aside from a few, very minor inconveniences, I'd say it's a great item to have in your kitchen.
Free of chemical toxins, and PFOA, lead and cadmium free.
Sturdy, thick reinforced die-casting aluminum body is induction compatible and provides stable heat distribution.
Large, versatile size with high side walls.
Tempered glass lid with steam vent.
Ergonomic handle with helper handle.
The handle, while aesthetically pleasing, is made from plastic.
Not oven or dishwasher safe.
Calphalon's Premier Series takes cookware to the next level, making this my pick for the absolute best sauté pan on the market.
When you buy a Calphalon pan, you know you're getting quality. Perhaps the most recognizable name on this list, the Calphalon brand really is deserving of its title as one of the best pan makers out there. And their Premier Series cookware take things to the next level.
From a distance, this sauté pan looks a lot like other stainless steel sauté pans, but trust me, once you handle this pan, you'll feel the difference. It's made from heavy gauge materials and is very sturdy - be forewarned, this pan has some heft to it.
The construction is pretty standard for stainless steel cookware. It's three ply construction, two layers of stainless steel sandwiching a thick aluminum core. The aluminum core is critical to quick and even heat distribution and retention, and the pan works well on induction, gas and electric stovetops without a problem.
I also really like that the stainless steel is brushed, rather than polished - there is a sophistication to it, and the finish also resists fingerprints. The long handle is also brushed steel, as is the helper handle, and both stay cool to the touch even at the highest temperature settings.
Although the lid looks like metal from certain angles, it's actually tempered glass. The lid has a slight curve to it, but otherwise remains flat, which in my opinion looks a lot better. The flat lid also prevents condensation from dripping down the sides into your food.
The metal handles mean you can go straight from stovetop to oven, which is super convenient, but I'd avoid putting this sauté pan in the dishwasher. Calphalon does claim that their pans can go in the dishwasher, but I'd still recommend hand washing only.
Finally, if all of the features aren't enough to convince you, the lifetime warranty should. Although it's a bit expensive, this Calphalon Premier Series pan is of the highest quality, and without a doubt ranks as the best sauté pan on the market.
Made from a durable, 3-ply construction.
Brushed stainless steel inside and out, with an aluminum core that provides superior level heat retention and distribution.
Long, stay-cool handle.
Tempered glass lid.
Dishwasher and oven safe, and compatible with most stovetops, including induction, gas, electric and glass.
Very heavy.
Lid handle can get hot to the touch.
Goodful - 5-Quart Stainless Steel Sauté Pan
This is a fantastic, all stainless steel sauté pan with a few smart design features to improve your cooking experience.
I really, really like this five quart, stainless steel sauté pan from Goodful. It has a lot of the same high quality features of other top shelf sauté pans, and a few extra details that really put it over the top.
In terms of what you might expect from a top shelf stainless steel pan, the Goodful sauté pan has it all. It's made from premium quality, 304 grade stainless steel, which is known for durability, appearance and resistance to corrosion. The stainless steel is polished rather than brushed, which is only important to note if you have a particular aesthetic preference.
The pan is constructed from three layers of metal for quick heating and perfect heat distribution. The metal construction also makes the pan oven and dishwasher safe, though, as always, I recommend hand washing these kinds of items.
The stainless steel handles - both the primary and helper handles - are riveted for strength, and both stay cool to the touch. The helper handle is absolutely necessary, given this pan's heft, and you'll definitely need it for stability if you want to safely move a pan full of food.
Alright, now a few extras. I really like that the interior of this pan has some measure marks (indicating 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 quarts, and their conversion to cups) for convenience and accurate cooking. It's a really small detail, but such a smart design feature.
I also really like that the lid is stainless steel. I know that I often advocate tempered glass when it comes to lids, but I think it's also important to have at least one lid in your kitchen that's made of stainless steel, that you can feel free to move it around quickly on the stovetop without the risk of it breaking.
Although the pan has relatively thin walls, it's still got more than enough heft to it to do a more than satisfactory job with any recipe you might try. And if that's not enough for you, Goodful offers a limited lifetime warranty - so buy with confidence!
Made from premium quality, 304 grade stainless steel, known for durability, appearance and resistance to corrosion.
Triple ply (stainless steel exterior, aluminum core) is perfect for fast and even heating.
Durable, stainless steel handles are riveted and stay cool to the touch; the helper handle adds extra stability.
Interior measure marks for convenience and accurate cooking.
Sides and bottom are relatively thin.
The stainless steel is difficult to clean.
First off, it's important to recognize the difference between a sauté pan and a skillet, or fry pan. While frying skillets generally have curved or sloping edges, the thing that really defines a sauté pan is its straight, vertical walls, which are usually anywhere from two to three inches tall.
The difference here relates almost entirely to function, since both skillets and sauté pans can be constructed from a variety of materials. Sauté pans are fantastic for searing meats, and also for reducing broths and sauces. The high walls are great for holding large quantities of food without risking a spill.
So, with an idea of what sauté pans are for, the next question is, what kind should I get? There are really two options here - traditional non-stick, or stainless steel.
Non-stick sauté pans are much like any other non-stick pan, in which a special but fragile layer of non-stick material coats the cooking surface. This can often be very convenient, but it has some serious limitations, especially when it comes to searing and getting a good maillard crust on proteins.
Now, a lot of people complain that stainless steel pans are difficult to use, and that they often end up with food that sticks. And it's true, stainless steel can be tricky. It's really easy to ruin a dish in a stainless steel pan because you're not using the right technique.
This is because you can't treat a stainless steel pan like a normal non-stick. There are actually a few things that you can do to make the most out of your stainless steel cookware, which will also prevent sticking.
First, when using stainless steel you have to heat the pan before adding anything to it. And I mean, get it hot. But unfortunately, this means that cooking at low temperature on a stainless steel pan gets a bit complicated.
So, at the end of the day, my biggest advice in selecting the right sauté pan for you - and deciding between non-stick and stainless steel - will be your comfort with these two, very different cooking techniques. Do you feel comfortable with stainless steel? Do you like to cook on high heat? Low heat?
I've tried to create this list so that, regardless of your answers to these questions, you'll be able to find the right sauté pan for you. Whether you want a non-stick or stainless steel pan, there are some absolute bangers on this list. Happy cooking!

The U.S. Department of Defense announced on Wednesday that Amazon and Microsoft met the minimum requirements to win its cloud contract that's known as the JEDI (Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure) project.
Microsoft and Amazon have been the front runners for the JEDI contract due to the depth of their cloud technologies and higher government security clearances.
According to a story by Bloomberg, the Pentagon had previously said it would announce the sole winner this month, but that announcement has been pushed back to mid-July, according to a Defense Department spokeswoman.
The Pentagon put out an RFP for one vendor to manage its cloud needs, which includes a primary data repository for the military services worldwide, according to Bloomberg.
In December, Oracle field a lawsuit in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims that alleged there were conflicts of interests and unfair requirements in the contract process.
That lawsuit came on the heels of companies, including Oracle, lobbying the Defense Department to split the contract among several cloud providers instead of awarding it to just one. The Defense Department said splitting up the contract would slow down the process and cause a delay in providing the new capabilities to the military branches.

Started building a gigantic model of the Delorean time machine from Back to the Future. Had no idea it would be THIS big.
Finished rear facade completed. More to come!
looks good so far. i've got a 1/8 Ford Falcon, so, yes, they are big in that scale.
I've come pretty close to getting the 1/8 Camaro over the years but I can't fathom painting that many parts. I'll admit they do look awesome when someone really puts the work into it. I had seen this one fellow that had made a couple with little dealer sheets on the windows. His force perspective shots really looked like the full-sized Camaro.
I have never heard of a 1/8 falcon though... who makes that kit?
Been working on the front and rear wheel hubs and the main frame. Mostly metal parts here that feature some nice details and real springs for the suspension.
Lots of parts make up the steering mechanism. A few nice details are real rubber boots and working springs.
Wheels are made to have a separate hubcap so the turbine fins have more depth than the usual one-piece injection molded offerings.
Started assembling the reactor for the time machine. There are two versions of reactors for Delorean time machines - plutoinum and Mr. Fusion. Mr. Fusion is the second best known feature of the BTTF Delorean but I think the original looks better. The parts are molded after the ring things - old hubcap, an engine turbine, and the lid to the chamber.
Shipping packaging serves as a nice parts tray.
Mr. Fusion is also well done. These parts are modeled after a coffee grinder, a mainframe CPU case, and a few custom odds and ends to make it work.
Opens up on a hinge made of 2-3 parts. Haven't attached the red latch but it has one and it's spring loaded.
But not without it's flaws. The Designers put three big screws on one side of Mr. Fusion. Definitely has to be repaired or forever displayed with the passenger side out away from the shelf. It is made up of several little parts so with some cleanup it would look quite nice.
Luckily for me I think the plutinum reactor version looks better - beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
It sure is a hubcap. Off an old Plymouth. I'll probably keep Mr. Fusion sitting nearby with the screws facing towards the wall.
Seems to have only been available in South America but geeze, I'm not even a "truck guy" and I'd have been tempted to subscribe to a 1/8 Ford F100 build.
Is there a website for Eaglemoss and Icon?
It's definitely an interesting area of model kits - larger scale and different assembly/delivery methods!
There are some plastic pieces like the oil filter and starter. But they look pretty good and add to the overall realism regardless.
The weathering looks a bit stronger in the photos - in real life its a bit more muted. You can see a bit of the original color of the metal on the mounts near the bottom.
Front of the engine with the value covers and intake parts installed. Looking more realistic as it's built.
I also applied a thin dull coat of paint on the value covers to make them look like a different type of metal.
Can't believe he'd never seen BTTF before!
Have had a bad month but finally have got around to working on this kit again.
Weathering of the engine and exhaust is about finished.
Had fun figuring out a way to weathering the muffler like the examples I found online.
I'm happy with how the engine is looking.
but it should be visible when the rear deck time circuits are lifted up.
That is looking good, especially considering the size. I've read a number of times that the larger the scale the more the flaws show up.
Small update. I got the rear bulkhead installed and added a blinking LED to the flux capacitor. Not totally accurate to the film but it definitely looks like its fluxing now!

The Tick and Mosquito Project has been helping people learn how to control mosquitoes and ticks since 2000. We are independent. Our content is developed through studying the latest findings and news associated with ticks and mosquitoes, and learning about and testing techniques for controlling them. We work with entomologists and arachnologists to periodically review our work and be sure we are representing the latest knowledge of mosquitoes, ticks, and how to control them.
As a U.S.-based staff, we rely on academic and research sources from the American mosquito and tick zones, such as the great work published by the University of Rhode Island TickEncounter Center, the University of Minnesota, UMass Amherst, Texas A&M, the Center for Disease Control, and many other sources. Our goal is to make the latest findings available and digestible to the mass public, homeowners, nature lovers, and everyone else.
We periodically engage professionals and researchers in the tick, mosquito, and vector-borne illness fields to review our content for accuracy and to incorporate the latest research. You will see citations at the bottom of many of our articles noting the recently-completed reviews.
Our mission is to help reduce damage caused by the world's most dangerous creature, the mosquito, and an emerging public health threat, the tick. We believe it is important to help people educate themselves on mosquitoes and ticks, share methods for controlling their populations and impacts, and ultimately protect our fellow humans against the serious effects of vector related diseases, not to mention make life a bit less annoying for those of us in tick and mosquito-prone areas.
At least 20% of any earnings we might generate through affiliate arrangements are devoted to nonprofit and civic activity focused on controlling mosquito and tick populations and associated diseases.

History of Playing Cards
The standard 52 card deck that we are familiar with today provides us with fun and memorable moments, but how did it get here?
The answer is… we don't really know. See playing cards have evolved over hundreds of years. Its origins, however, cannot be pinpointed to a specific time in history, thus the history of playing cards is an uncertain one.
Scholars believe that the history of playing cards originated in Asia although it cannot be confirmed unequivocally. We can start to see playing cards appear in Europe around the late 14th century and early 15th century.
That means that playing cards in Asia had to have been around since the 1300s at the least. Can you grasp that? I mean human beings have been playing some form of cards for over 600 years. The history of playing cards must be a fascinating one, envision the royalty of the Ming dynasty playing cards late into the night over drinks!
The history of playing cards follows a long journey that presumably starts in Asia and travels through Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and England before making its way to the United States, with each country along the way altering and shaping the deck and the games that we've come to love today.
One of the most noticeable additions to the beloved card deck that can be attributed to the USA is the addition of the Joker. Its invention was derived from the game Euchre in the mid-1900s when the Jokers then were called the "best bower".
The history of playing cards is an adventurous one that circles the globe. There are many myths and legends of its history, some true and some false. How will we in this present time ultimately leave our mark on the overall history of the iconic deck and the centuries-old and new games we love to play.
Best Card Games
We could make a list of the best card games to play, but… we're not. That's because it all depends on what kinds of card games you like to play. Who are we to determine the best card games? I mean aren't all card games created equally? Probably not, but still.
But Don't skip ahead just yet. Although we won't be handing over a list of the best card games, we will leave you with a list of popular card games from around the world, as well as a list of five card games to play that you should definitely try at least once before you die. Now, how's that for compromise?
If you want to know what card games are popular around the world then look no further. We got a two-part post for you covering the most popular card games in various countries.

Top 5 Card Games You Have To Play At Least Once In Life
Ok, let's say you're not really into card games. First off, I can't imagine how one could, "not be into card games" — but hey I've heard crazier things. Back to my point, you may not be that into card games but you have to at least play these five card games before you die, otherwise, you didn't really live — right?
Spades – This game is capable of bringing out the worse in people so find out who your real friends are when you challenge them to a game of spades.Spades was first introduced in America in the 1930s and have maintained its popularity throughout the decades. Spades remained popular, only in America, for many decades until the 1990s when the game began to gain international fame and appreciation via the help of online spades play and tournaments.
Bridge – We are all going to get old someday, and when you do Bridge is waiting for you.
The objective of the game is to score points by making bids, or by defeating the opposing players' bid. The team with the most points wins.
Solitaire – Because sometimes you just need to be alone and reflect and talk to yourself when there is no one else around like a crazy person.Solitaire is a single player card game that can leave the player with a special feeling of achievement once they've finally won. The objective is to move all cards from the tableau and from the stockpile into four build piles.
Blind Squirrel – This one get's you drunk. That's all you need to know.Blind Squirrel is a drinking card game that is not for the faint of heart. Must be 21 to play unless you live in Europe where the drinking age is like 12 or something. Drink Responsibly.
Blackjack – Vegas baby! Or just at home with fake poker chips, cheap boxed wine and Ritz crackers with squeezable cheese.The game is played against the dealer, and the object is to get as close a score to 21 as possible without exceeding that number. In order to win, you must beat the dealers' total, however, if you go over 21 points that are considered a bust and you automatically forfeit your bet.
Fun Card Games
Looking for a list of fun card games? We'll look no further, the fun card games train is here, woot-woot! The answer you're looking for is… all card games are fun, just pick one.
Although my prior statement is true, I made a list of card games for you anyways. Check out these five card games that are guaranteed to be fun, fun, fun. Can I get woot woot…?
Spoons – Watch out now, this card game is hella fun yet hella dangerous. Only play if you have insurance or you don't mind losing a hand.
Spoons is a fast-paced matching game also referred to as Pig or Tongue. It is a multi-round game that involves matching, grabbing, and sometimes bluffing. Similar to musical chairs, there are one fewer spoons than there are players per round. Once a player has four cards of the same rank in hand they grab a spoon in the center of the table. One player will be left without a spoon at the end of the round and they are out. The game continues until there is one player left who is declared the winner.
2. Hang Ten – A modern version of 10 card golf, it's modern so therefore inherently fun — #logical.
Hang Ten is a modern variation on 10 card Golf where, rather than discarding everything into a single pile, players have their own discard piles. Players can also draw the top card from an opponent's discard pile
The goal of Hang Ten is to make a layout with the lowest possible score, ideally a negative score.
3. Slap Jack – If you have a low threshold for being slapped repeatedly then avoid, but… trust me this game is worth the stinging slaps on the wrist!
If you see a jack, slap it! Whoever slaps the jack first gets all the cards, and you want to get all the cards because that's how you win!
4. Egyptian Rat Screw – The name of this game is so intriguing how could this not be on our list of fun card games?
Egyptian Rat Screw (ERS) is a fast-paced game of many names, such as Egyptian Rat Slap, Egyptian Ratkiller, and Egyptian War. The game has similarities to the British game Beggar my Neighbour, as well as Slapjack, Speed, and Spit, with its slapping mechanism.
5. Speed – Keanu Reeves.
Simple Card Games
Looking for simple card games to play? Well, you're in luck we've made a list of card games that are simple, fun, and great for kids.
Some of them take hours and are great for when you need to keep kids occupied for long periods of time. A far better option than locking them in the closet I can assure you. The best thing about this list is that these card games are not only great for young kids but still fun enough to engage your adult mind too when you're ready to join in on the fun.
1. Go Fish – This may be the simplest of simple card games. Ask yee shall receive… or otherwise, go fish.
2. War– The objective of the game is to win all cards.
3. Speed– The objective of Speed, simple, play all of your cards as fast as possible.
4. Skat – Skat is a popular German trick-taking game that accommodates 3 players. It was created in 1840 in Altenburg, Germany
5. Cheat – The object of the game is to get rid of all your cards as fast as you can, and before all the other players.
Classic card games hold a special place in our hearts here at Game Rules. That's because classic card games are the foundation of all card games and they must be respected. So let's take a moment to pay homage to the O.G's — (pours drink on ground). Word.
On another note if you are a part of the new school movement that thinks the classics have lived past their prime, take a look at the article we wrote titled Classics vs The New Age and then pick a side.
Cribbage is a 400-year-old game that descended from an English card game known as "Noddy." The creator of the game was Sir John Suckling, who was an English poet. The most interesting facet of cribbage is its use of a cribbage board to keep score, rather than a pen and paper. This also makes scoring more efficient which in turns makes the game more fast-paced and engaging.
This game is tailored for 2 or 3 players, however, players can form teams of two in a four player game.
The goal of the game is to accumulate points to the target 121 points (or 61 points). Points are earned by making card combinations.
Players must set the number of points needed to win prior to the start of the game. The goal is to create runs and sets with your cards in order to score the most points and win the game.
The goal is to win more tricks than the opposing team. This game is special it even requires a special deck and everything. Learn about the game the introduced the Joker to the mainstream 52 card deck that we know today.
The objective of this game is to have the lowest score. When a player hits the pre-determined score, the player with the lowest score at that time wins the game. If you can't get a group together, in real life, this game is a really fun one to play online and is usually listed as a free card game.
Free Online card games
As we've already established, playing card games are fun. Fact. But one drawback to card games is that often playing card games requires other people unless of course, you're playing single player card games like Solitaire and the like.
Finding other people to play with can be a hassle at times. But lucky for you, we were born during the most opportune time. The time age of the internet. I present you the concept of "Online Card Games." That's right, online card games can be played online at any time with real people or computers, how sweet is that?
There are so many websites these days that offer online card games, and even better is that many of them offer free online card games. You can probably find a way to play the majority of card games you love online, for free. Games like Poker, Heart, Bridge and yes Cribbage, all available for free play online.
Be wary though of online casino sites. There are many online gambling sites that look appetizing and can be loads of fun but you can lose some serious money on there so make sure you feel comfortable with what you're signing up for. If you don't care about betting then steer clear of online poker sites altogether. There are plenty of free online card game sites where you can play as much as you want… for free! Two claps for that.
Last but not least, remember, if you come across a card game and don't know the rules, GameRules.com has always got your back. Not only can you find all the card game rules you need, but you can also find fun and engaging articles about what's new, what's changed, what's coming, and how to get better at what you already know.
Now go forth and play some games!
