Quadrupole RF with Vacuum for body massage. 5mW led pads for body shapping. Touch screen control system. Unoisetion Cavitation This type of therapy targets and destroys subcutaneous fat cells in the fat cell membranes through a series of microscopic implosions. Once the fat cell membrane (adipose tissue) is destroyed, the fat is discharged between the cells where they are turned into protein and then changed to free fatty acids and glycerol. Free fatty acids are moved to the liver where they decay and are removed from the body while water-soluble glycerol is transported to the circulatory system and used as energy. Quadrupolar Vacuum& 3D RF radio frequency combines the mechanism of advanced 3D RF energy and vacuum therapy that work with the body's natural regeneration process to deliver safe and efficient treatments for cellulite, body contouring and tightening of the skin. The heat generated by passing 3D RF energy through the skin shrinks dermal collagen and promotes the formation of new collagen The treatment head draws the skin between two parallel sets of electrodes located in the tip. High-frequency electrical (3D RF) current is passed through the skin. A flat surface delivers current more efficiently, so suction induced skin deformation provides an effective contact. As such, the 3D RF treatment depends somewhat on the thickness and coarseness of the skin in the target area. This mechanism induces mechanical stress on fibroblasts, leading to collagenesis and possibly a more dramatic improvement of the acne scar. Non-surgical, non-invasive Led laser emits low levels of laser energy, which creates a chemical signal in the fat cells, breaking down the stored triglycerides into free fatty acids, glycerol and water molecules, the same natural response initiated by the body anytime it needs to use its stored energy reserves. These free fatty acids are then transported throughout the body by the lymphatic system to supply the body with energy, again just as if the body would respond in times of caloric scarcity. A period of exercise post treatment ensures the complete metabolism of these freed fatty acids, shrinking the fat cells and delivering the body shaping results your patients are looking for. This is a non-destructive, targeted fat reduction technology, which means excess fat deposits can be treated anywhere on the body and the fat cells are not destroyed as a result of treatment. Sextupole 3 D RF(body) Sextupole 3 D RF energy enters into the deeper dermal layer, causing the dermal layer of skin to thicken, decreasing wrinkle depth, leaving the skin firmer with contour lifted. Quadrupolar 3D RF(face, small area on body, arms, legs) Quadrupolar 3D RF Facial wrinkle elimination, tightening and lifting 3D RF adopts ART RF technology measures skin resistance automatically, No energy emit if tip don't touch skin well. Bipolar 3D RF(face, eyes around) Bipolar 3D RF are used for tissue tightening, It focuses the RF energy right where it is needed requiring much lower energy than other RF technologies, thus avoiding the associated pain for the client.

Imaging the Thermal and Kinematic Sunyaev–Zel'dovich Effect Signals in a Sample of 10 Massive Galaxy Clusters: Constraints on Internal Velocity Structures and Bulk Velocities
Sayers, Jack and Montaña, Alfredo and Mroczkowski, Tony and Wilson, Grant W. and Zemcov, Michael and Zitrin, Adi and Cibirka, Nathália and Golwala, Sunil and Hughes, David and Nagai, Daisuke and Reese, Erik D. and Sánchez, David and Zuhone, John (2019) Imaging the Thermal and Kinematic Sunyaev–Zel'dovich Effect Signals in a Sample of 10 Massive Galaxy Clusters: Constraints on Internal Velocity Structures and Bulk Velocities. Astrophysical Journal, 880 (1). Art. No. 45. ISSN 1538-4357. https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20190724-092522268
We have imaged the Sunyaev–Zel'dovich (SZ) effect signals at 140 and 270 GHz toward 10 galaxy clusters with Bolocam and AzTEC/ASTE. We also used Planck data to constrain the signal at large angular scales, Herschel–SPIRE images to subtract the brightest galaxies that comprise the cosmic infrared background (CIB), Chandra imaging to map the electron temperature T_e of the intra-cluster medium, and Hubble Space Telescope imaging to derive models of each galaxy cluster's mass density. The galaxy clusters gravitationally lens the background CIB, which produced an on-average reduction in brightness toward the galaxy clusters' centers after the brightest galaxies were subtracted. We corrected for this deficit, which was between 5% and 25% of the 270 GHz SZ effect signal within R_(2500). Using the SZ effect measurements, along with the X-ray constraint on T_e , we measured each galaxy cluster's average line of sight (LOS) velocity v_z within R_(2500), with a median per-cluster uncertainty of ±700 km s^(−1). We found an ensemble-mean〈v_z 〉of 430 ± 210 km s^(−1), and an intrinsic cluster-to-cluster scatter σ_(int) of 470 ± 340 km s−1. We also obtained maps of v_z over each galaxy cluster's face with an angular resolution of 70''. All four galaxy clusters previously identified as having a merger oriented along the LOS showed an excess variance in these maps at a significance of ≃2–4σ, indicating an internal v_z rms of ≳1000 km s^(−1). None of the six galaxy clusters previously identified as relaxed or plane-of-sky mergers showed any such excess variance.

Clio Baran
Let us talk about the Airtel 3G – Endless Goodbye tv commercial today. The ad portrays a couple who stay always connected in the world of Airtel, when everything tries to tear them apart. Remember? The silent ad film has a very heartening story and does not actually require any rescript. Thumbs up to advertising!
Now, who is the pretty girl featured in the ad??? There is a Facebook Page dedicated to the unknown Girl featured in Airtel-3G Ad "Endless Goodbye"!
Airtel Endless Goodbye video:
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BR0JB3z6gI&NR=1]
So, who is she?! 😕
Lo fellas! I give to you miss Airtel… unforgettable angel… IndianFrench diva… Clio Baran. She is an actress from Paris, the City of Love! 🙂
The ad, aired in 2010, was created to awe create awareness about the launch of Airtel's new 3G video call services in the country. Love, separation, pain, reconnect, rejoice… Aye, this spot, shot-to-perfection, appealed almost every one! And Clio's performance at the train departure scene… priceless!!
Credit for this beautifully crafted commercial goes to the international director, Philippe André; its creative director, Adrian Miller; and the agency JWT Mumbai. Its simple, yet emotionally expressive background score is from the album I Giorni (2001), composed by the renowned Italian pianist Ludovico Einaudi. The advert has won Bronze at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity in 2011.
Clio Baran is an alumni of Cours Florent drama school. Immense passion towards acting and 3 years of training gave the young talent a breakthrough in the form of a telefilm titled Lagardère (2003). When contacted with the feedback on how much impact this Airtel ad had on the people here, she excitedly (and humbly) replied: Thanks!! 🙂 🙂 it's an honour …
Clio enjoys playing challenging roles (which demand powerful emoting skills) and likes acting in vintage-style films. She now has a short film Prélude, a few movies, and several high-TRP rated French television series to her credit. Have a look at Clio's filmography on IMDb.

Abra Wins Launch Festival 2015 with Mycellium Local Trader Bitcoin Knockoff
The Launch Festival is a yearly technology conference organized by noted entrepreneur and angel investor Jason Calacanis. The main draw

The Launch Festival is a yearly technology conference organized by noted entrepreneur and angel investor Jason Calacanis. The main draw of the conference, and why it draws over 10,000 attendees, is the focus on company founders and entrepreneurs. This is partially done through the distribution of low-cost and free tickets to founders, while charging premiums to large corporate sponsors. The tradeoff is that the sponsors are able to get in front of a targeted audience for their products, sponsors such as Salesforce, Microsoft and Google.
With its focus on entrepreneurs, as per its name, the three-day Launch Festival is highlighted by company launches, who show themselves publicly for the first time on the conference's stage. Also included is a pre-festival hackathon as well as 2.0 launches which are established startups revealing new products for the first time. But the real meat is the 1.0 competition of firms showing themselves publicly for the first time. Previous winners include Connect, Boxbee and SpaceMonkey.
Taking home the best-launched startup for 2015 was Abra, a mobile-based remittance app. The product is a peer-to-peer (P2P) dollar-denominated payment transfer app focused on the remittance sector. Abra is based on creating a network of human ATM tellers. For a fee, these tellers provide deposits and withdrawals to other users. Abra is similar to mPesa in that users fill up credits and make withdrawals at licensed vendors. The main difference is that Abra is decentralized and anyone can become a teller.
In its presentation, Abra founder Bill Barhydt used an example of a Mexican worker (Bill) in the US who uses the mobile app to send funds to his family in Mexico (Miguel). Bill opens the app and finds the nearest human ATM teller and massages them. Bill then gives the teller $200 and, scanning QR codes of each other, the funds are uploaded to Bill's mobile app. Bill then sends the $200 to Miguel, who finds a local human ATM in Mexico who he meets in person to transfer the funds and make a withdrawal in dollars or a peso equivalent.
Like recently reviewed Align Commerce, Abra uses bitcoins as the power behind its transfer system. Similarly to Align Commerce, users don't see bitcoins or view any connection to the blockchain when following payment transactions. In this sense, bitcoins are the technology behind the transfer, similar to credit card transactions and bank wire transfers taking place on connected bank networks without users exposed to the underlying technology of the transfer.
Killer App
As there are plenty of bitcoin wallets out there, the innovation Abra is bringing to the table is the ability to "fork" the traditional bitcoin wallet and offer it as a dollar-denominated solution. One of the advantages of the system being denominated in dollars is that it removes currency fluctuation involved with bitcoins or other fiat. Also, focusing on the remittance market, Abra's core users are in locations where exchanging hard cash dollars to local currency is expected to be available. In this regard, as Abra has presented a product that uses bitcoins, but is forked in an offering that is adapted to the greater markets, as well as keeping fees substantially lower than comparable remittance transfer systems. Abra has been able to gain the distinction from the Launch Festival as a "killer app" of bitcoins.
Similar to Mycellium wallet's Local Trader
Abra's success lies in its ability to draw human tellers to the product to establish a scalable network for transfers. In this regard it contrasts centralized systems where a firm like mPesa or WesternUnion can bankroll the opening of transfer locations in various markets to increase its presence and scale its user base. Similarly, machine-based bitcoin ATM operators are able to offer incentives to have their machines placed in many locations, with the expectation that they will recoup costs from fees collected on bitcoin exchanges. As a P2P network, Abra is limited to the size of its user base and geographic locations. Abra is banking on the fact that like Uber and Airbnb have been able to draw non-taxi drivers and hotel operators to provide their time for some extra cash. So to will people become tellers to make a side-business.
As a reference product, Abra very much resembles Mycellium's mobile wallet app. Like other bitcoin wallets, Mycellium's version allows users to store, secure, send and receive bitcoins. The "killer app" of Mycellium is its "Local Trader" feature.
Similar to the LocalBitcoin's website, Mycellieum provides the ability for users to become dealers to buy and sell bitcoins. App users are then able to enter their location to find local dealers to buy bitcoins. In theory, a user can buy $500 in bitcoins from a local dealer in New York, and then sell them for euros when they arrive in Paris for a vacation.
Unlike Abra, Mycellium users are exposed to foreign exchange risk involved with price fluctuations of bitcoins, as the wallet is denominated in bitcoins. However, the advantage is that Local Trader is based on dealers who quote bitcoins in local currencies.
Mycellium + Abra = Killer App
Where Mycellium really has the edge is with its massive entrenched set of users. This network makes it easy to find dealers to buy and sell bitcoins to around the globe. But it can be argued that being denominated in bitcoins, Mycellium lacks the scalability that a product like Abra can have since it won't appeal to mainstream users.
With that in mind, perhaps the real killer app of the future is an app that can merge the benefits of Abra and Mycellium. This app would provide bitcoin wallet features to appeal to the existing bitcoin global user base, but also be able to be customized to only show a single fiat currency. Bitcoin users will be able to receive and sell bitcoins for fiat as dealers, but mainstream users would only view payments in fiat.

Ontario Power Generation released its second-quarter earnings on Friday and, little surprise, the province's largest power generator saw its output drop by 19 per cent compared to a year earlier. A similar plunge was seen in the first quarter. Some of this drop has to do with conservation, good weather, and increased supply from private supplier of wind and gas-fired generation, but a big chunk has to do with the recession and its impact on a manufacturing-heavy province like Ontario.
But there is a silver lining. Ontario Power Generation saw its fossil-fuel generation, mostly coal, fall by a whopping two-thirds. It means that during the second quarter 91 per cent of electricity generated by OPG was free of greenhouse gases and other smog-causing emissions, thanks to our hydroelectric and nuclear fleet.


They were kind enough to send my daughter, Arianna the Ooh La La Body Lotions (don't you just love the name?) in Strawberry Parfait and Glamorous Grape, and WOW did she love them! She instantly went crazy slathering them on and fell in love with their Strawberry Parfait lotion telling me it smelled like "yummy strawberries and creeeam". Not only do they smell scrumptious but their packaging is just a sweet and their smell!
The Shimmering Body Powder is just as adorable. It smells utterly delightful and comes with it's own fluffy powder puff (what little girl wouldn't love that?). The powder itself has glitter in it which your little ones will love because it makes them sparkle. But Moms you might want to be careful with this one--the powder can get a little messy.
Overall, I think they're great products that will make all little girls feel just as Glamorous as Fancy Nancy!
Right now they're offering my readers a 15% off any order of $20 or more by simply using the Coupon Code: SAVE-15. You might also want to take advantage of the free shipping offer for anything over $35.

Q: How do I set a ref when using react.createElement? I want to get a ref to the component represented by the element i create, but cannot get it to work. I tried this:
            var comp = React.createElement(
                MyComp,
                {
                    props: myprops,
                    ref: "mycomp"
                }
            );

But this doesn't work. How do i set a ref on it so the parent can call this.refs.mycomp.someMethod()?

A: As of react v16.3, this.refs has been discouraged. One of the popular ways of doing it would be,
  const Comp = React.createElement(
                MyComp,
                {
                    props: myprops,
                    ref: ref => this.mycomp = ref
                }
            );

A:
https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/top-level-api.html#react.createelement
ReactElement createElement(
  string/ReactClass type,
  [object props],
  [children ...]
)

The second parameter of the function is an optional props object for the component. Unless you want to refer to the props in the component as props.props you can splat the myProps object:
var comp = React.createElement(MyComp, { ...myprops, ref: "mycomp" });

class MyComp extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.initialValue = props.initialValue;
    this.state = { value: this.initialValue };
    this.increment = this.increment.bind(this);
    this.reset = this.reset.bind(this);
  }

  increment() {
    this.setState({ value: this.state.value + 1 });
  }

  reset() {
    this.setState({ value: this.initialValue });
  }

  render() {
    return (

Counter: {this.state.value}

        <button onClick={this.increment}>Increment</button>

    );
  }
}

class App extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.reset = this.reset.bind(this);
  }

  reset() {
    this.refs.mycomp.reset();
  }

  render() {
    const myProps = { initialValue: 1 };
    const Comp = React.createElement(MyComp, { ...myProps, ref: "mycomp" });
    return (

        {Comp}
        <button onClick={this.reset}>Reset</button> Calls this.refs.mycomp.reset

    );
  }
}

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('app'));
.parent {
  background-color: #555;
  color: #FFF;
  padding: 10px;
}

.child {
  background-color: #888;

Ben Smith: Tips For Successful Businessmen
Nov 2, 2021 Nora BeanBusinessMoney, successful businessmen
It is no secret that prosperous businessmen like ben smith think differently from the average person. It takes a lot of resourcefulness to start, build your own business, and make it successful after all.
But even then there is a fine line that separates the most successful and innovative entrepreneurs from the rest. You not only have to think differently from the average citizen, but you also have to think from your fellow entrepreneurs in a different way.
Ben Smith business: Think of money as a form of energy
To some extent, many entrepreneurs are afraid of money. Getting into debt and not having enough cash flow are just two of the monetary nightmares. This can trick any would-be entrepreneur into crawling back under the covers.
Money problems are one of the main reasons so many solopreneurs are going out of business. But having a negative attitude towards money could prevent you from making more than you could potentially do.
Successful entrepreneurs actually view money as a form of energy. The difference between having money and having no money requires hard work. There is no getting around it! But ultimately it also depends on your own point of view and attitude.
Ben Smith business: Focus on the opportunities around you
When an opportunity presents itself, the average entrepreneur tends to focus on obstacles. Just like with money, they get caught up in the possible negative aspects. Oftentimes, these worries prevent them from taking the necessary leap to enable them to seize these opportunities.
Gifted entrepreneurs, on the other hand, focus on the raw potential of what lies ahead. They think about what they want for their future and not about the obstacles that might prevent them from achieving that goal. A goal-oriented outlook keeps things in perspective. It also helps maintain ambition and drive.
Resist the temptation to feed doubt
Pretty much every entrepreneur has heard the old adage: "There is a solution to every problem." This is what successful businesspersons say to themselves when tests come along the way.
A change in your mindset is an absolute must to achieve meaningful change. When you look at any situation related to your business, your focus is on solutions, not problems. By focusing on what you can achieve and what opportunities are available to you, you will not stop yourself from taking the steps necessary to grow.

Q: Calculate distance from polygon feature centroid to coordinate in QGIS 3.18 I have a shapefile with a lot of polygon features in it. For each polygon, I want to calculate the distance from the centroid of each polygon to a certain coordinate.
How can I achieve this using the field calculator?

See the added picture for an example: For every feature, I want the distance from its centroid to the red dot (CRS projection I used is EPSG28992, but regular lon lat is also fine. As long as the distance gets calculated).

A: I would use something like:
distance( centroid( $geometry ),  geom_from_wkt( 'POINT(350000 650000)'))

if you have a simple fixed point.

A: Something like the following should be working :
distance(st_centroid($geometry),getfeature(point_layer_name, id, 1)

getfeature(point_layer_name,id, 1) is a way to retrieve your 'reference' point (based on its id=1 in that case) ... adapt it to your table's structure ...

A: Use this expression: length (make_line (centroid ($geometry), make_point ([x], [y])))
replace [x] and [y] with the x- and y-coordinates values of your reference point. Be sure to have an appropriate CRS (a projected one) and use the same CRS for your points and the coordinates of your reference point.

A: I think you are looking for something like:

*

*using the geom_from_wkt()
length(shortest_line(centroid($geometry), geom_from_wkt('POINT(508503.622 5406706.511)')))

*or using the make_point()
length(shortest_line(centroid($geometry), make_point(508503.622,5406706.511)))


Probably the most important thing about inline skating is the brake. If you drive a lot so you need to slow down a lot. Then it goes fast that you need a new brake stopper.
This brake stopper of Rollerblade has been redesigned and now has the color gray.
This break pad fits at all models, which has got the STD/ABT-Lite break pad.


1. Using a basic nine value scale, with 0 being the lightest and 9 being the darkest, use 0-1 for highlights and 8-9 for darkness of the ridge and thick areas of the glass.
2. Don't forget that glass has thickness. Make sure that when you draw the shapes of the object, draw out the thickness of the glass as well.
3. Glass has shadows. Even the transparent objects have shadows. This can be easily forgotten by beginners.
This demonstration is going to focus on painting a clear glass in watercolor to demonstrate how to paint transparent form. Today, we will paint a glass object with complex shapes in a step by step process.
1. Start with the drawing. Mark the highlights and reflections to make it easier to paint later on.
Here is a little tip on marking the majors highlights of a glass in the drawing. When using one single light source, two major highlights will appear on the axis of the ellipse. See the image to the right.
2. Apply masking fluid on all the highlights and reflections in the glass. See the green areas on the image to the right for the areas applied with masking fluid.
3. Apply the first wash. After allowing the masking fluid to dry, wet the whole paper with clean water. While the paper is still wet, paint a bluish gray to create the form shadow and the cast shadow of the glass. Wait for it to completely to dry.
4. Apply the second wash. On the second wash, darken the cast shadow a little bit more, paint a light warm grey on the glass giving the area little color to suggest the glass, and paint a light warm yellow wash on the foreground to suggest the color of the light source. Wait for it to dry.
5. Paint the background. Wet the background area with clean water and apply the turquoise blue to the background.
6. Paint the mid-tone of the glass. Use a detail brush to paint the mid-tone areas of the glass. These mid-tone areas are basically the distortions of background and foreground. So, use similar blues from background on these mid-tone areas to ensure a successful merging of the glass to the environment. If the colors are too different, the glass might look out of place.
Paint the bottom using similar colors to the table also.
7. Paint the second layer of distortions. Paint another layer of distortions with colors that are little darker than the last step.
8. Paint the last layer of distortions. Use colors that are equal in value to the 8-9 values on a nine value scale to paint the last layer. This will visually pop the glass out and indicate the thickness of the glass nicely.
After it is completely dry, remove the masking fluid.
9. Apply a light wash over the reflections that are on the shadow side.
After removing the masking fluid, I felt that the reflections on right side of the glass were too bright because, technically, these reflections are still inside the form shadow of the glass. So, I painted a light bluish gray wash over the reflections to the right to tone them down just a little.
In this demo we used masking fluid to create the crisp and clear highlights of the glass and subtle variations of color to suggest transparent form. Using the ideas above will allow us to paint transparent form by focusing on placing the highlights and the thickness of the transparent surface in the correct places.
Always wondered how to paint trsnsparency. This has encouraged me to have a go. Thanks for sharing.
thank you for taking time to put this together for us less capable mortals!

There are certain technological innovations which make me smile: sliced bread, air conditioning, remote control mini helicopters, etc. And one of the biggest smile-causing technological modernizations for me is in multi-bladed razors.
Have you ever tried to shave with a one-or-two-bladed razor blade? It's terrible. I have this bag of generic travel razors I bought once to save a little bit of money, and shaving with one of them feels like I'm shaving with the edge of a rusty spoon. I'm always left afterward, hacked to pieces, feeling like I've been dragged face-first along a chain link fence.
Thank heavens for the manly, 5-bladed razor I have now. It puts those flimsy travel razors in their places, and always leaves me grinning afterwards. It's like shaving with a velvet sheet. Your skin doesn't even know it's been touched.

"Be a man," I told myself as I gulped back tears, "don't you dare cry." When I was younger, my idea of manhood consisted of strutting around with my chin in the air and with my chest pushed out. Being a man meant "catch me if you can," it meant "me against the world," but it also meant never letting anyone see my weaknesses. To put this in perspective, I am the only child of a father who is...
I had just finished Anna Karenina when I first visited Yale. My heightened interest in Russian literature led me to Dr. Vladimir Alexandrov's mind-blowing lecture on Dostoevsky. Dr. Alexandrov spent nearly the entire class on the first page of Crime and Punishment, conducting a character analysis of Raskolnikov. I was taken with the class because I was pushed to think about concepts in totally new ways, and because I saw Yalies delighting in doing the same. This spirit of intellectualism,...
Supplemental Essay: Unique question posed by school
"What is a community to which you belong? Reflect on the footprint that you have left. (You may define community and footprint in any way you like.)" Last summer, I went alone to the city of Trieste. While there, I worked helping refugees from the Middle East. I both entered into the community of Italian service workers who were helping refugees, and I experienced a fractured community of people who were isolated in a culture that was completely foreign to...
"Write about something that you love to do." I learned what "catharsis" meant after hearing an interview of Scarlett Johansson on The Daily Show. I saw what a catharsis was after watching DeNiro in Raging Bull. And I felt what a catharsis was after my first theatre performance. Being an only child, I never knew what being part of a large family was like. This is partly what spawned such a deep love of theatre in me. The theatre family...
I think the most important piece of advice that I can impart (and the aspect that gave me the most worry) is to just be genuine. Many people try and game the system by writing contrived essays that they believe colleges "want" to see. There isn't a set formula for getting into college and I learned that through the crucible of my own college process. I'll...
Get recommenders that truly know and love you. The best way to do this is to have a big personality and develop really great long lasting relationships with your teachers. But caveat emptor! don't make it contrived! If you're just trying to form relationships...
Whether I took out loans or applied for scholarships, and my advice
This is sort of a different topic, but along the lines of the prompt nonetheless. Yale's financial aid package is notoriously bad amongst the institutions of higher learning. They count home equity in one's taxable assets which means that the loans they give out take into account your home as part of your total assets. This screws most of those in the...
Post-college plans
I was really daunted with the idea of what to do post college. At first I wanted to take a gap year, then I wanted to do a lot of traveling, then I wanted to go into politics, then I wanted to be...
Do summer things that you're passionate about! I'd also recommend giving back to your communities in some way. I flew to Italy alone and lived in a youth hostel on my own for 6 weeks working in a church to help arab muslim refugees.

Have you ever considered buying frozen vegetables?
Frozen vegetables are a convenient, time-saving short cut when preparing meals at home.
Perfect for soups and stews (where the vegetable is NOT the primary ingredient), these packaged foods sometimes hold flavor better than their fresh counterpart, especially when the vegetable is out of season.
I would never recommend using frozen vegetables in a fresh salad; or frozen onions in a French Onion Soup, however, they work well in hearty dishes cooked in a slow-cooker, such as the Bachelor Beef Stew below.
Which frozen vegetables are best to buy?
Not all vegetables are worth buying from the frozen food department.
Vegetables with a lower moisture content generally freeze well, while their high-moisture counterparts turn mushy when frozen.
Peas – more convenient than fresh; when frozen immediately after picking, sugars in the peas do not form starch.
Corn – only out-of-season; fresh corn is still best in the summer, but during the winter, frozen corn is sweeter.
Onions – during long cooking processes when the texture will not matter.
Lima Beans – good texture and flavor, unlike their canned counterpart which is often mushy. Fresh Lima beans difficult to find.
Spinach – easy to use in cooking, make sure to thaw and dry. Stick to the produce department for salad spinach.
Frozen broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and green beans are acceptable options for soups, stews, and long-cooked dishes, as their crisp texture is not a factor.
On high-moisture vegetables like bell peppers, snow peas, snap peas, asparagus, and mushrooms.
Does brand make a difference when buying frozen vegetables?
Some foodies say yes…I am one of those foodies.
I have tried store brands, national brands and organic brands.
Although much cheaper, some grocery chain brands lack flavor and have a comprised texture.
I stick to national brands, such as Green Giant or Birdseye. Cook's Illustrated magazine recommends 365 Everyday from Whole Foods supermarkets.
Make sure to read the packaging ingredient list to verify there are not any added, unpronounceable chemicals.
During the winter, I try to keep a stash of frozen vegetables in the deep freezer, mainly for the convenience when cooking with the slow-cooker.
I love this Bachelor Beef Stew recipe; not only because it is so easy – ANYONE – could prepare this; but also, it is so cozy and delicious.
Last time I prepared it, we ate all the potatoes, so I just had beef and stew left over.
I refrigerated the leftovers for about 3-4 days; gradually warmed up the stew on the cook top, and served it over rice for a second meal.
If you like this recipe, subscribe to my blog and receive occasional bonus cooking tips!
This recipe coined its name because it is so simple to make, even a bachelor could whip it up. Using frozen vegetables to streamline the prep and cooking, you will enjoy this hearty slow-cooker meal.
Microwave onions, tomato paste, 1 Tablespoon oil, garlic powder and thyme in a bowl for about 5 minutes. Stirring every 2 minutes, until onions are tender. Pour into slow cooker.
Stir into slow cooker; chicken broth, beef broth, carrots, soy sauce, tapioca and bay leaves.
Season beef tips with salt and pepper.
Add meat to slow cooker, making sure all meat is submerged into sauce.
Cover and cook until beef is tender; 1st hour on high; then turn to low for 6 - 7 hours.
After 6 - 7 hours, test tenderness of beef by picking up one tip with a fork, if it will easily break apart, the meat is done.
Transfer all beef tips to a cutting board and shred into bit size pieces.
Let remaining stew in slow-cooker settle for about 5 minutes; then using a large spoon, remove the fat from the surface of the stew.
Microwave the frozen French fries with remaining Tablespoon of oil, in a bowl, stirring occasionally until thawed and warm, about 6 minutes.
Stir warm potatoes into stew. Stir in shredded beef. Stir in optional frozen peas.
Allow to heat through for about 5 minutes.
If stew is too thick for you liking, you can gradually add beef broth as needed.
Turn off crock pot and serve.
