The Finest Hours is a heroic action-thriller starring Chris Pine, Casey Affleck and Eric Bana which tells the story of the Coast Guard's courageous mission.
To read our interview with stars Chris Pine and Casey Affleck, click here.
The remarkable true story of the greatest small boat rescue in Coast Guard history. Presented in Digital 3D™ and IMAX® 3D, the film will transport audiences to the heart of the action, creating a fully-immersive cinematic experience on an epic scale.
On February 18, 1952, a massive nor'easter struck New England, pummeling towns along the Eastern seaboard and wreaking havoc on the ships caught in its deadly path, including the SS Pendleton, a T-2 oil tanker bound for Boston, which was literally ripped in half, trapping more than 30 sailors inside its rapidly-sinking stern.
As the senior officer on board, first assistant engineer Ray Sybert (Casey Affleck) soon realizes it is up to him to take charge of the frightened crew and inspire the men to set aside their differences and work together to ride out one of the worst storms to ever hit the East Coast. Meanwhile, as word of the disaster reaches the U.S.
Coast Guard station in Chatham, Massachusetts, Warrant Officer Daniel Cluff (Eric Bana) orders a daring operation to rescue the stranded men. Despite overwhelming odds, four men, led by Coast Guard Captain Bernie Webber (Chris Pine), set out in a wooden lifeboat with an ill-equipped engine and little, if any, means of navigation, facing frigid temperatures, 60-foot high waves and hurricane-force winds.
Disney's The Finest Hours is directed by Craig Gillespie and stars: Chris Pine, Casey Affleck, Ben Foster, Holliday Grainger. John Ortiz and Eric Bana.
Produced by Jim Whitaker and Dorothy Aufiero, with a screenplay by Scott Silver, Paul Tamasy & Eric Johnson based on a non-fiction book of the same name by Michael J Tougias and Casey Sherman.

I love having all kinds of options, that is why I am adding some more printable pages for Mother's Day!
Printing Tips: Click on image and save it to your computer. You can then print the image from your saved file.
The two above printable pages were first posted on my Marvelous Mother's Day Guide Post, click HERE to be directed to that page for more ideas. Any of the above could be printed front and back to each other.
This printable could be printed out onto card stock and then mod podged onto a 2x4 block that has been cut to 8 inches. Printable measurement is 3 1/2 x 8 inches. I think it would look great mod podged onto a block that has been painted brown or stained a dark color. Spray whole thing with a clear coat.
We cannot Forget about GRANDMA!!! Here are some printable the kids could fill out and color for one of their FAVORITE people! These could also be printed front and back.

» Will an improved economy mean more divorces?
Will an improved economy mean more divorces?
On Behalf of | Apr 9, 2015 | Property Division
It's been roughly seven years since the major economic collapse occurred that is now widely known as the Great Recession of 2008. When the housing market tanked, banks followed along with other national and global markets. Companies went out of business, people lost their jobs and the entire nation braced for the difficult economic times that followed.
Across the country and in states like Minnesota, families that previously relied on two incomes were affected by widespread layoffs and forced to cut spending and live on substantially less. Consequently, with the declining economy also came a decline in the national divorce rate with, according to a University of Maryland researcher, 150,000 less divorce filings being reported for the years 2009, 2010 and 2011.
Research shows that money and financial problems are a major source of marital strife. When a spouse loses a job, the entire family is impacted as financial burdens quickly multiply. In cases where a marriage was already shaky, a job loss and the resulting debt that often follows may prove to be too much for spouses to overcome. Even in cases where spouses were previously happy, a job loss may result in the affected spouse experiencing problems with substance abuse, drugs and depression; all of which can adversely impact a marriage.
Unfortunately, even though some couples were likely unhappy during these difficult economic times, they stayed together for financial reasons. Fast-forward to 2015 and the economic situation of many individuals and couples has greatly improved. The same, however, may not be true of their marriages.
Concerns and fears about finances are often top-of-mind for individuals going through a divorce. In some cases, such fears and concerns may prevent an unhappy spouse from filing for divorce. For individuals who are in this situation, it's wise to seek the advice and assistance of a divorce attorney.
Life is too short to live in an abusive, lonely or unhappy marriage. A divorce attorney will fight to help ensure that an individual receives his or her fair share of marital assets and will work to provide for both one's immediate and future financial security.

TribevTribe
Posted on August 14, 2015 April 11, 2016 by danthompson33
Five tribes will fight across Margate for the next month. TribevTribe is a month-long artwork which takes the centre of Margate as a board to play on.
When players choose to play they collect a Game Card, which randomly assigns them to one of five Tribes – Mods, Rockers, Punks, Hippies and Ravers. So if up to five people decide to play together, they'll be playing for different teams.
Players visit venues across Margate, looking for a hidden Dead Letter Box. Usually taking the form of a wooden box, the Dead Letter Box is identified by some combination of the five Tribe symbols. Players can visit each venue once a week. In a few places, the Dead Letter Box is held by staff, and there's a password to access it; the clue to these stashes can be found in other Dead Letter Boxes.
Every Dead Letter Box contains two things for sure; a Log Book and a pack of Chance cards. Players record that they've visited to score a point, and take a Chance card which can send them to other venues or set them another task to score more points. Dead Letter Boxes might also contain rewards or gifts left by other players. These might change week to week, and special rewards might be announced via social media.
Players can play by themselves, in secret; they can just visit each venue, find the Dead Letter Box and record their visit. The game is like a less technological version of geocaching. It's a good way to explore Margate.
Or players can choose to play TribevTribe on a more social level. Players don't know who else is on their team, but can accept Chance card challenges to use social media to meet other players.
Or they can, by gathering strangers together (and without even meeting them) play strategically, agreeing to all visit certain venues in an attempt to conquer them.
That's important because scores are collected from the Dead Letter Boxes, and announced on a rolling basis. Each week, it will be announced which Tribe has scored most points and conquered each venue, encouraging the other teams to try to retake those places on the board.
Around twenty venues are involved in the work. Each venue can choose how to participate; the simplest way is just to host a Dead Letter Box. But some venues have chosen to get their staff playing, to add extra levels of content, or to champion one of the five Tribes on social media. The first fifteen venues are already in play – and more will be added next week. The venues are large, big public funded attractions like Turner Contemporary, and small, independent shops, cafes and attractions like The Shell Grotto, Rat Race and Proper Coffee.
Other venues are involved in another way. The game's skin of subcultures has led to the creation of a series of posters referencing real gigs and events from Margate's past; a residency in a community hall for The Lower Third, a Hawkwind community benefit, a wrestling match and so on. These post for long-gone gigs can be found displayed around the town, and players score extra points for finding them, too.
The game is designed to scale, flex and adapt as it happens; 'it's iterative design', a Design Council expert said as she took her Game Card.
TribevTribe was conceived after carrying out evaluation of last year's Summer of Colour, a festival organised by Turner Contemporary. That evaluation found that people's movement across Margate from venue to venue was limited. And that people weren't generally attending multiple events within the festival.
TribevTribe aims to address that, by giving people an incentive to move between places. But it also creates a linking structure for the diverse venues within the festival, and connects them to smaller independent shops, cafes and attractions across the town.

OUTCOME OF SCO SUMMIT
THE 15th Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit was held in Ufa, Russia on 9-10 July 2015. The summit was unique in many ways. Firstly, for the first time in the 15 years of the SCO, it was decided to increase the number of its members. The summit marked the commencement of the official process for Pakistan and India's inclusion in the SCO as a full member. Secondly the summit was held along with BRICS summit under one roof where leaders of 15 countries assembled from various continents. Thirdly, in addition to the expansion of SCO, some other very important decisions were taken at the summit. Some important decisions included : passing of SCO Development Strategy 2025, approval of three years (2016-2018) programme of cooperation to fight against terrorism, separatism and extremism, upgrading the status Belarus from dialogue partner to the status of observer and taking in Azerbaijan, Armenia, Cambodia and Nepal as new dialogue partners.
As per its charter SCO is striving to achieve its objectives of strengthening mutual trust and good-neighborliness and friendship among member states. It is facilitating member states in developing their effective cooperation in political affairs, the economy and trade, science and technology, culture, education, energy, transportation, environmental protection and other fields; working together to maintain regional peace, security and stability; and promoting the creation of a new international political and economic order based on equality and justice.
The major outcome of 15th SCO summit was SCO member states' decision to expand the membership for Pakistan and India. SCO leaders passed on July 10, 2015 on starting the procedures of granting India and Pakistan full membership of the organization. Entry of Pakistan and India in the SCO as full members would be a watershed move for the SCO.Once admitted as a member, Pakistan would contribute significantly as a constructive partner in the work of the organization. Chinese President Xi Jinping welcomed the SCO expansion and called on the member states to uphold the "Shanghai Spirit" for common development. He hoped that admitting new nations to the SCO would inject fresh impetus into the organization's all-ranging cooperation. The SCO Development Strategy until 2025 approved in the summit at the summit, outlines priorities in all major areas of cooperation – from creating conditions to boost collaboration in trade and the economy to ensuring regional stability and prompt responses to conflicts and crises. It also covered development of transport and infrastructure, energy, agriculture, finance, education, information and communication technology, innovation and environment Initially there was an impression that SCO may not be able to play any significant role in Afghanistan due to its economic limitation and greater emphasis on bilateral engagements with Afghanistan of the member states. But the SCO has been quite active on Afghanistan; it held its first Afghanistan conference in 2009 to which EU and NATO were invited. The 2009 NATO Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council Security Forum was attended by the Secretary General of the SCO. In Ufa the agenda item on regional security included Afghanistan. With the withdrawal of the US and NATO troops, the relevance of the SCO for Afghanistan has been increased.
According to Ufa Declaration, SCO had an in-depth discussion of the situation in Afghanistan. It was noted that Islamic State (IS) had stepped up its activities and spread its tentacles to that country, which elevates the security threats on the southern borders of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. It was decided to immediately work out anti-terrorism plan on Afghan borders. The summit noted that drug money was a major source of funding for radical terrorist groups; therefore, the SCO members had outlined plans to counter the drug threat. The newly adopted Border Cooperation Agreement was designed to curb drug trafficking as well. The SCO presidency will go to Uzbekistan from July 11, 2015
The sidelines bilateral meetings provided an excellent opportunity to heads of 15 states to exchange ideas on matters of their mutual interests. The participation of Pakistan was quite visible and impressive. Pakistani delegation headed by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif presented Pakistan's perspective very effectively. Further Pakistan's bilateral meetings with Afghanistan, Russia, China and India were of great importance. With the initiation of the official process for Pakistan's inclusion in the SCO as a full member, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should formulate a strategy to enhance Pakistan's engagement with its counterparts to ensure the timely completion of all formalities for the membership process.

But a new home for its famed bookstore cat, Owen, is up in the air.
After almost 40 years on Church Street, Aardvark Books will close up shop in January before handing the space over to a new owner.
According to Open Listings, the building at 227 Church St. that holds Aardvark Books ]sold on Sunday for $2.4 million. John Hadreas, who owns the bookstore and the building, first put it on the market in September 2017 for $2.8 million, but pulled the listing after the independent bookstore received an outpouring of support.
Employees got an unpleasant surprise Monday as media outlets published news of the sale. As of Tuesday afternoon, Hadreas had still not informed the bookstore's staff about the building's sale, says employee Mike Jacomella.
What Jacomella does know is that the bookstore will remain open until January.
When 227 Church St. was first listed on Redfin in 2017, it was billed as having "development potential." Hadreas was not available to comment by press time on who the new owner is or what their intentions are. But with a years-long process between proposal and building permits, it's likely 227 will stand empty for a while, like a large number of its neighbors.
"There's just fewer people coming into the neighborhood because there's fewer things to do in the neighborhood," longtime Aardvark employee David Lugen told SF Weekly in April.
Hadreas stated in 2017 that his five employees, who have been with Aardvark from 13 to 38 years each, would receive a "good payout" if he sold the building. But a new home for its famed bookstore cat, Owen, is up in the air.
Earlier this month, the agency granted 11 independent bookstores a total of $103,000 to help grow their businesses. Included are lesser-known stores like Just a Touch Christian Bookstore in the Bayview and East Wind Bookstore in Chinatown, alongside city favorites like Green Apple and Dog Eared Books.
The grant is intended to help bookstores redesign their websites to garner more e-commerce revenue and grow book membership programs. It also comes with technical help on matters like long-term lease negotiations, marketing, management consulting, and human resources.
By OEWD calculations, the selected bookstores generate more than $9.8 million in annual sales, employ more than 100 people, host more than 40 free events each month, and have been around for an average of 21 years.


Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has been awarded a Green rating from Public Health England for its commitment to going smoke free across the Great Western Hospital site.
A score of seven out of seven follows the enforcement of a smokefree policy in April and shows the Trust has taken positive steps towards becoming a smokefree site.
These include offering stop smoking advice to patients, referrals being made to local services and a no smoking policy across all hospital buildings and grounds.
"We are thrilled to receive such an outstanding grade for our work to become a smoke free site and want to thank everybody who has taken steps to quit smoking or support others to do so.
"It is good to know that our efforts have been successful and we will work hard to maintain this.
"We understand just how hard giving up smoking can be and do all we can to support patients, visitors and staff with their journey to quit.
"Some people still choose to smoke on site and we will be approaching smokers with smoking cessation cards to raise awareness of stop smoking support.
"We hope that new signage and an annunciator will also help to remind visitors that they are on a smoke free site.

We examined the interior structure of exocytotic apertures in synaptic vesicles of neuroblastoma x glioma hybrid cells using atomic force microscopy. The atomic force microscopy detected apertures of 50-100 nm in diameter at various depths within the varicosities of these cells. We were also able to image a regular radial pattern on the wall and lump-like structures at the bottom of these apertures. In contrast, scanning electron microscopy could only detect the apertures but not the fine details of their interior. The cells examined here exhibited the same electrophysiological properties and expression of synaptophysin and syntaxin 1 as presynaptic terminals, as studied by various electrophysiological and imaging techniques. Our results indicate that atomic force microscopy allows three-dimensional viewing of the fine structures located inside exocytotic apertures in nerve cells. (C) 2000 IBRO.

Tech Giants Back New EU Online Hate Speech Rules
Facebook, Twitter, Google and Microsoft promise to wipe illegal hate speech from their sites in less than 24 hours.
By Angela Moscaritolo
May 31, 2016 10:34AM EST
Facebook, Twitter, Google, and Microsoft are putting in writing their commitment to combat the spread of hate speech in Europe.
The tech giants signed a new EU code of conduct, promising to wipe illegal hate speech from their sites in less than 24 hours, the European Commission announced Tuesday. As part of the agreement, the companies have promised to review hate speech notifications and, if necessary, remove or disable the illegal content within a day. That includes any content that "promotes incitement to violence and hateful conduct."
For Facebook and its peers, tackling this issue requires striking a balance between giving users the freedom to express themselves, while providing a respectful environment for everyone, the social network's Head of Global Policy Management, Monika Bickert, said in a statement.
"There's no place for hate speech on Facebook," Bickert wrote. "We urge people to use our reporting tools if they find content that they believe violates our standards so we can investigate."
Hate speech has been a major problem on Twitter, in particular, where trolls hide behind anonymous accounts to hurl insults and threats, particularly at women. Last year, former CEO Dick Costolo admitted that "we suck at dealing with abuse and trolls on the platform and we've sucked at it for years." The company has since set up a new Trust & Safety Council and streamlined the process of reporting harassment to help address the issue.
In a statement Tuesday, Twitter's Head of Public Policy for Europe, Karen White, said the service "will continue to tackle this issue head on."
"We remain committed to letting the Tweets flow," White said. "However, there is a clear distinction between freedom of expression and conduct that incites violence and hate."
No Man's Sky Developer Gets Death Threats for Game Delay
Meanwhile, Google's Public Policy and Government Relations Director, Lie Junius, echoed those sentiments, adding that the Web giant already has systems in place to review hate speech notifications and remove illegal content in less than 24 hours.
"We're committed to giving people access to information through our services, but we have always prohibited illegal hate speech on our platforms," Junius said. "We are pleased to work with the Commission to develop co- and self-regulatory approaches to fighting hate speech online."
For its part, Microsoft recently released a new set of guidelines and policies for how the company treats terrorism-related content on any of its properties. The company now explicitly prohibits terrorist content on its consumer services and has a new online reporting tool for flagging this kind of content.

The University Writing Center considers writing to be an indispensable part of the intellectual life of the university as both a vital means of communication and an essential tool for learning. We serve all members of the university community--undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, and staff--by working with them to improve their writing projects and develop their abilities to become more effective writers. We believe that learning to write is an ongoing, life-long process and that all writers, from first-year students to faculty, benefit from discussing and collaborating on their work with thoughtful and respectful readers.
At the Writing Center we provide one-on-one consultations, writing resources, in-class workshops, and a comfortable place to write. Writing Center consultants can work with any piece of writing, whether for a specific course or for professional or personal development. We also welcome collaborative projects as well as multimedia projects. We are also a site for research on Writing Center theory and practice and are committed to being part of ongoing scholarly conversations about the teaching of writing.
Our philosophy of teaching writing begins with conceiving of writing as a process. We believe that the best writing develops through a process of invention, drafting, and revision - though the process is not always linear and direct. At all stages of the process, we believe that writers benefit from the kind of thoughtful response we offer at the Writing Center. In our consultations we engage in a dialogue with writers to help them develop their writing, and to become more effective and confident writers. We are not a drop-off editing service. Instead we want to ask the questions and offer the suggestions that will help writers understand how to make their own work stronger.
The Writing Center is dedicated to being a safe, inclusive environment. We work to make the Writing Center a welcoming place where writers feel comfortable bringing the diverse range of perspectives found in the university community. We are also committed to accommodating all writers and all learning styles. We do not grade or evaluate the writing we see, and we do not communicate what happens in a consultation to students' instructors without the permission of the student.

Year after year, Charlottesville, Virginia pops up in magazines across the country as one of the "Best Places to Live". Aside from this distinction, in recent years Charlottesville has been given an overwhelming amount of attention as one of the healthiest cities in which to live, and likewise, as a prime retirement city. As visitors look towards the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains and breathe in the crisp, fresh air, it isn't hard to understand why.
Now AARP Magazine has joined the list of national magazines to recognize Charlottesville's health benefits, naming Charlottesville #7 on their list of the Top Ten Healthiest Places to Live and Retire. Charlottesville has earned the Healthiest Place several times before, including being named #2 Healthiest Place to Live in America by Kiplinger's Personal Finance; Healthiest Place to Live and #3 Healthiest Small City to Live in America by Men's Journal; and #6 Top Ten Healthiest Cities for Women by American Health.
To determine the healthiest places to live, Men's Journal took into account the community's major attributes, especially the area's abundance of local farms. Locals have organic produce readily available, which provides community food security.
Charlottesville real estate's rolling hills and protected mountain views provide residents with a wealth of natural beauty, and studies have shown that such a connection to the land can trigger both illness prevention and healing responses. The city has been acknowledged for both short commutes and a reliable system of sidewalks, which not only make Charlottesville healthier, but also provides parents with peace of mind.
Charlottesville's wealth of vegetation does more than provide the community with a vibrant autumn foliage show; urban trees mitigate air pollution, lower the local temperature, and help keep pollutants already in the air from becoming even more volatile.
Post-operative hospital stays are shortened when patients have a view of trees and open spaces, plentiful in Charlottesville. As a community dedicated to conservation, local residents appreciate the benefits trees provide on a multitude of levels.
The University of Virginia, located in Charlottesville, is one of only 125 medical schools throughout the country, and to have such an institution in such a small city is a rarity. This teaching hospital employs top physicians utilizing the latest technology, and treatments available in Charlottesville are not available in similar hospitals across the country.
This is vitally important, as studies show that people respond better to being treated closer to home. Charlottesville has an immense density of expertise with its two local hospitals, UVA and Martha Jefferson, both of which play a pivotal role in the health of the community.
Charlottesville provides a wealth of opportunity finally fulfill your New Years Resolution to get healthy. Charlottesville is home to several health organizations which work across the board to improve local health, from nutrition counseling to campaigns to encourage residents to be physically active.
Because of the abundance of exercise and fitness options in the area, it isn't difficult to find a physical outlet to suit everyone in the family, and fresh local produce makes healthy eating practical. With all the area's health benefits, there's little question as to why those in the Charlottesville area have such a high life expectancy.

Home Football News Longtime NFL coach Tom Moore reportedly joining Bruce Arians staff in Tampa...
Longtime NFL coach Tom Moore reportedly joining Bruce Arians staff in Tampa Bay
Tom Moore, one of the most decorated assistant coaches in pro football history, is back in the NFL.
Moore, who has served on some of the best coaching staffs in NFL history, will join Tampa Bay's coaching staff for the 2019 season, The Athletic's Greg Auman has reported. Moore, who did not coach in 2018, was most recently Bruce Arians' offensive coordinator in Arizona from 2013-17.
Arians and Moore first started coaching together with the Colts 1998 and were responsible for the growth of a rookie quarterback named Peyton Manning. Arians was Manning's first quarterback's coach, while Moore was the future Hall of Fame quarterback's longtime offensive coordinator.
Moore, who will celebrate his 81th birthday this fall, began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at the University of Iowa in 1961. After a decade in the college ranks, he broke into the NFL with the Steelers in 1977, when he was hired as Chuck Noll's receivers coach in Pittsburgh, a position he held for six seasons. During that span, the Steelers won Super Bowls XIII and XIV. Moore's top two receivers in Pittsburgh, Lynn Swann and John Stallworth, caught a combined 18 passes for 439 yards and four touchdowns in Pittsburgh's last two Super Bowls wins of the decade. Swann and Stallworth are now members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Moore also influenced the Steelers to bring in University of Minnesota quarterback Tony Dungy, who was converted to cornerback in Pittsburgh and led the Steelers with six interceptions in 1978. Dungy would later serve with Moore on Pittsburgh's coaching staff before becoming a Hall of Fame head coach in Tampa Bay and Indianapolis. Moore was Dungy's offensive coordinator when the Colts defeated the Chicago Bears in Super Bowl XLI.
In 1983, Moore was promoted to Pittsburgh's offensive coordinator. The next season, Moore's offense helped lead the Steelers to a stunning upset over John Elway's Denver Broncos in the AFC playoffs en route to an appearance in the conference title game. Despite 312 passing yards from Mark Malone, Pittsburgh fell to Dan Marino and the Miami Dolphins the following week in the AFC title game. Moore remained Pittsburgh's OC through the 1989 season. That season, the Steelers upset the Houston Oilers in the wild-card round in a victory that would serve as Noll's final victory as the Steelers' head coach.
Moore then had stints in Minnesota, Detroit, and New Orleans before joining the Colts' staff in 1998, the same season Indianapolis selected Manning with the first pick in the draft. Moore served as Manning's OC for the first 11 seasons of the Hall of Fame quarterback's career while helping him develop into one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history.
The Colts' offense became the league's top unit under Moore, with Manning, receiver Marvin Harrison and running back Edgerrin James the league's most feared offensive trio. The trio helped the Colts win five division titles from 1990-05 while establishing Indianapolis as one of the league's upper echelon teams. The Colts' offensive dominance was on full display during the divisional round of the 2003 playoffs, as Indianapolis scored 38 points without punting once in their road victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.
One of Moore's greatest moments came in the 2006 AFC Championship Game. After his Colts fell behind 21-3 to Bill Belichick's Patriots, Moore helped Manning orchestrate a historic comeback in what was Manning's first of three AFC title game victories over New England.
"He was flat-out the best assistant you could ever have," Manning said of Moore back in 2016. "He took that much pride in his job. He was going to do the best job he could for the coaches that he worked for. And he's still going."
Moore will now work with Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston, who is coming off a disappointing 2018 season. Winston, the 2013 Heisman Trophy winner and 2015 Pro Bowler, did play well in Tampa Bay's first preseason game, leading the Buccaneers' offense to a touchdown on his first and only series.

Advantages & Disadvantages of Partially Hydrogenated Oils

Food manufacturing companies create hydrogenated oils by adding hydrogen atoms to the fat that they use. Partially hydrogenated oils are found in many commercially available food products from peanut butter to pies and from vegetable shortening to cream-filled pastries. This hydrogenation process has both advantages and disadvantages, because it has a dramatic impact on the fats and their physical properties.
Partially hydrogenated oils, and hydrogenated oils and fats offer improved shelf life compared to liquid vegetable oils and other types of fat. Foods containing these partially hydrogenated oils also benefit from longer shelf lives. In their unhydrogenated state, these foods would become rancid more quickly and would not last as long on the grocer's shelves. Some food items, like peanut butter and shortening, can actually last for several years.
Saturated and Trans-Saturated Fats
When unsaturated fats in vegetable oils are partially hydrogenated, the unsaturated fats become increasingly saturated. The presence of partially hydrogenated oils in commercially available foods has raised the presence of saturated and trans-saturated fats in your diet. Trans-saturated fatty acids are present in some foods naturally, but only on a very small scale. The trans-saturated fats found in partially hydrogenated oils are in much larger quantities than is natural. Diets that are high these fats increase the risk of heart disease and other health issues.
Partially hydrogenated fats improve the texture in some foods. For example, tub margarine products made using partially hydrogenated vegetable oils are creamier and smoother to spread than stick margarine or butter. Vegetable shortening, also made with partially hydrogenated oils, is what lends the desirable flaky texture to commercial piecrusts. The improvement in texture offered by partially hydrogenated oils is one of the reasons these oils were developed in the first place, as they have made many commercial food items more palatable.

Coffs Harbour local Julie Jardine has been named the 2019 Local Woman of the Year.
Mrs Jardine was announced as the recipient on Wednesday afternoon by the NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian.
Coffs Harbour MP Andrew Fraser said the annual local award recognises the outstanding contributions made by remarkable women to the Coffs Coast community.
"Julie Jardine fits the bill in every regard, she loves living on the Coffs Coast and working tirelessly to help improve the lives of those around her," Mr Fraser said.
"Julie is a successful businesswoman who has always felt the need to 'give back' by supporting many community organisations," he said.
Outside of her professional work life, Mrs Jardine also mentors women in their careers and serves on various business advisory boards.
Most recently, Julie has been involved with the Outback Air Race raising money for the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
Mr Fraser said, "her passion is the Coffs Coast and Clarence CanDo Cancer Trust, which helps patients and their families experiencing financial difficulties".
Julie was thrilled to be presented with her Woman of the Year certificate today by NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian, who is meeting with members of the local community during her Coffs Coast visit.


Two Edmonton mothers have been charged with attempted murder, unlawful confinement and abandonment after a babysitter contacted police saying she found two small children with broken bones barricaded in the basement.
Investigators state that one of them — a 3-year-old — may have been staying alive by eating her own hair.
According to the report by the CBC, the two mothers, identified only as JL, age 24, and AM, 23, were taken into custody after a newly hired babysitter reported the horrific scene she discovered when she broke into the blocked-off basement in December.
The report states the babysitter was hired for an evening to watch over JL's two young daughters, ages 6 and 3, and AM's three children: ages 2, 3 and 5.
According to the babysitter, she was only to worry about the three children that she would find upstairs, and to not bother with the two in the basement.
After checking on the three upstairs — who the babysitter said looked malnourished — she immediately went to see the two in the basement only to find the door blocked by a piece of furniture.
Pushing it out of the way, she entered the darkened room and found the two small children trapped inside two closed furniture boxes, with the the six-year-old unconscious.
Following a 911 call, both girls were transported by ambulance to hospital, where the older girl spent days in intensive care.
According to the report, hospital officials described both girls as having broken bones and that the three-year-old had likely been eating her own hair which had been found in her stomach.
Investigators are also looking at abuse the upstairs children received, with the report stating that beatings with a belt may have occurred.
The two women will appear in court on Monday.
