![]() Pop Tarts are high in sugar and contain refined flour and unhealthy oils, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). When properly stored, unopened pop tarts can last up to 6-12 months past their “best by” date. Pop Tarts are a delicious treat that goes well with chocolate. A serving of food has a % Daily Value (DV) that indicates how much nutrient it contains in a day. The Kellogg’s Pop- Tarts Whole Grain – Strawberry contains 170 calories in one pastry (50 g). Brown sugar cinnamon, blueberries, cherry, chocolate, peanut butter and jelly, or even lemon curd are examples of substitutes.įor K-12 students, Pop-Tarts® Made with Whole Grain is a tasty treat that includes whole grain flour and enriched wheat flour, as well as a frosted top and fruit-flavored filling. There are numerous ways to fill in a tooth. This recipe contains a seasonal strawberry-rhubarb filling, as well as a unique flavor. My nutritional biscuits were almost savory, so I dubbed them my nutritional biscuits. My subsequent whole grain version was much more delicate, as evidenced by the shortbread. To get a feel for the dough, I made a batch with all-purpose flour. A number of popular recipes call for refrigerated pie crusts. Pop-Tarts were first introduced in 1964 by the Kellogg Company. While they are not as nutritious as a bowl of oatmeal, whole grain pop tarts can be a healthy option for those on the go. Whole grain pop tarts are a good source of fiber and contain no trans fat or high fructose corn syrup. ![]() Though they are often thought of as a sugary, unhealthy treat, pop tarts can actually be a healthy breakfast option if you choose the right kind. ![]() Pop tarts have been a breakfast staple for many Americans since their introduction in 1964. ![]() A MAJOR difference between Audition software (which IS expensive, it retails for $349) and Audacity is the ability to view and modify the spectral frequency display of an audio file, shown in the screenshot below. I have tried to use Audacity software (free) for noise removal in the past, but I’ve never had great results with it. Use the Effects tool for Noise Removal to delete those portions of audio from your file.Try and highlight only those portions of the audio file which contains those portions.Find a portion of the audio file which JUST includes the noise you want to remove.Even though both videos are for previous versions of Audition, the basics here are the same: I searched online for video tutorials about noise removal using Adobe Audition, and found two I used: This video from Jason Levine from 2009 (on Vimeo) and a video from Pogolink from 2006 (on YouTube). As a result, background noise from a nearby heater / air conditioner was VERY loud and distracting in the audio recording I made. I made a longer recording during the ceremony of the actual proceedings, but unfortunately the speaker was much quieter than the cadet who recited the poem and didn’t speak very close to the microphone. Earlier today I shared two audio recordings from the Veteran’s ceremony and one from the KSU – OU Football game we attended this afternoon: ![]() Just as my Photo 365 blog project has helped me be more thoughtful and aware of photographic opportunities each day, my sound blog has done the same thing for potential audio recording moments. Since starting the “Sounds of My World” blog a couple months ago, I’ve been enjoying ambient audio recording in different settings. ![]() This morning I had an opportunity to attend a memorial service for Vietnam Veterans at Kansas State University, conducted by the Air Force ROTC detachment at KSU. ![]() Now, the pond has two beautiful little fishes (Hades and Patricio :)). The change in the garden has been impressive, I love being in my garden! The remodeling process took almost a year, I did it together with my partner, but it was worth every second of work! Garden landscaping Garden construction – a labour of love The change that the garden has gone through is incredible, at first I thought I was very risky with the prominent forms I have been using, but I thought I had already done a remodeling before and it was worth taking the risk… Rebeca’s garden design plan Until I found Rachel’s fantastic courses Great Garden Formula, Plant Design Design course. ![]() I kept looking for options, I wanted my garden to look like in the photos of European gardens, I sensed that the secret was in the form of plantation (plant design), but I did not understand what was wrong… The plants did not look good.Īfter the first remodeling, the garden looked worse than at the beginning! But still the garden was boring and uninspired, I read many books and changed the shapes of the planters, but they were still bored. I wanted to make a space that allowed me to be in the garden and enjoy the stay.Ī deck and a central table were built. I started the first remodeling in 2014, when part of the fern on the corner broke down. I thought it was a great missed opportunity. We used to see it from the balcony but never stayed there. In spite of being a beautiful garden to see, it did not invite to be in it, because the spaces were poorly distributed and it was uncomfortable. It has a awkward shape, the pond was already built and was very rustic. The garden was very exotic (tropical), with many greens, but boring, I did not like being in it. This garden used to be very green, full of palm trees and a large fern in the corner, which gave a lot of shade. With no experience and no ability to get professional training, Rebeca was undeterred and tried her best to re-landscape her garden.Īfter 3 years of trial and error (and managing to make the garden look worse!), she eventually found us here at Successful Garden Design and signed up to do our flagship course, the Great Garden Formula – I’ll now pass you over to Rebeca to tell her story… The history of the awkward shaped garden: Make no mistake, even professional designers would find this one challenging… While Rebeca knew about plants, there isn’t currently training in her country in garden design. This garden belongs to Rebeca Brenes a forestry engineer from Costa Rica. What can you do with such an awkward shaped garden? ![]() Melody’s greatest passion is working with and helping animals. She also has two cats, a naughty torti called Shelley and a Burmese called Polly –all very spoilt adopted cats that came to live with Judy when they needed new homes! Peacocks, geese and bantams also wander around her farm along with three Alpacas! They both enjoy helping around the farm and delight in jumping into the dam anytime they can- rain, hail or shine! (true water dogs). E- Claire – short for chocolate éclair, was one of 7 pups born this year. Tia is the mother of Sienna (one of 15 pups) and E- Claire is the latest arrival. She is also owned by three delightful chocolate Labradors. Living on a farm and breeding Stud Red Poll cattle, Judy has names for them all and they come when called. Judy has a true passion for animals and believes in being an advocate for all pets. She has worked with all species of animals from Elephants to mice. Judy has been involved in setting up Accredited Veterinary Hospitals, worked in Zoos and also was involved in the setting up of the Caroline Springs Veterinary Hospital. She is a fully qualified veterinary nurse and has studied practice management, accounting, marketing and psychology. Judy has been involved in the Veterinary industry for the last 40 years. The rest of the time Virginia is kept very busy by her 4 small children and her garden. Virginia joined Caroline Springs Veterinary Hospital as a Saturday Vet (and occasional week day fill in) in 2012 and thoroughly enjoys being part of a fantastic team. Since that time they have welcomed another 2 children to their family and also have one dog and one cat. ![]() ![]() Virginia returned to Victoria at the end of 2010 with her husband and 2 small children to be closer to family. A wide and varied case load including some Zoo work allowed Virginia to gain a lot of internal medicine, emergency and soft tissue surgery experience. ![]() Upon her return to Australia she moved to Canberra where she worked as a locum in various small animal practices eventually finding herself employed full time in one of Canberra’s largest and busiest Veterinary practices. She spent a couple of years in mixed practice in Victoria’s south west before travelling overseas to work in England and travel through Europe, Scandanavia and Africa. A week later, the city sent her a letter calling Zeus a dangerous animal.Virginia grew up on a small farm surrounded by animals and subsequently graduated from University of Melbourne in 2000. The bite left multiple bite marks on his legs. Zeus first bit a man on May 16 after returning with Kabir from a dog park. Officers determined Kabir did not follow city rules for keeping the dog. The Elk Grove Animal Shelter housed Zeus since July when officers took him from its owner, Faryal Kabir. The dog’s established bite history and dangerous propensities presented too great a risk to public safety for this community.” -City of Elk Grove “The city takes its duty to preserve public safety and protect the community very seriously. The post called it a “difficult situation for all involved” and that they did not take the matter “lightly.” A media release on the city’s Animal Services Facebook page confirmed the dog’s death on October 28. The city labeled Zeus as a “dangerous animal” for biting two people, including a police officer. Elk Grove officials humanely euthanized a young German Shepherd despite a series of legal challenges to spare its life.

How would it continue to fill arenas, satisfy advertisers and spread its vision of a global game without its brightest star? When global sports icon Michael Jordan retired from basketball in 2003, the league found itself in a period of transition. The NBA has long had a fraught relationship with its Black superstars. Even when folks who look like Morant innocuously and legally possess a gun, they find themselves too easily typecast as villains. And yet throughout the nation’s history, gun ownership among Black Americans has elicited fear and recrimination. To many politicians and activists in the gun-obsessed U.S., the freedom to own and flaunt firearms is a sacred right. It was careless, and he could have harmed himself and others.īut as a scholar of Black popular culture, I can’t help but wonder what the reaction would have been if Morant were white. I’m not looking to defend Morant’s behavior. In response, the NBA suspended Morant for 25 games to start this upcoming season for “engaging in reckless and irresponsible behavior with guns.” Then, on May 14, 2023, another Instagram Live video surfaced of Morant holding a gun in a parked car with his friends while dancing to rap music. Though Morant was never charged for a crime, the NBA suspended him eight games for “ conduct detrimental to the league.” Colorado is an open carry state, but it’s illegal to carry a firearm while under the influence of alcohol. On March 4, 2023, Morant posted an Instagram Live video of him displaying a gun at a Denver strip club. With colorfully dyed dreadlocks, an infectious smile and a signature sneaker, Ja represents the next generation of NBA superstars.īut his bursting athletic brilliance, so evocative of Iverson, comes with a cost: the perceived menace of the Black gangster. Today, Morant’s game conjures that of the electrifying Iverson. Ja Morant, the 23-year-old star point guard for the Memphis Grizzlies, was barely 1 year old. This was two weeks prior to the 2000-01 NBA season, one in which Iverson would be named league MVP. (THE CONVERSATION) “Man enough to pull a gun, be man enough to squeeze it,” rapped NBA superstar Allen Iverson on his song “ 40 Bars.” THE 30-YEAR NORMAL HIGH/LOW TEMPERATURES FOR NEXT WEEK ARE NEARĨ0/60 DEGREES, AND CONFIDENCE REMAINS HIGH THAT WARMER-THAN-NORMALĬONDITIONS WILL BE PRESENT.

For today the average H/L is 80/59 the record high of 95 was set in 19 (it should be noted that 1992 was a very cool summer so even in cool summers there can be some hot days) the record low of 40 was set in 1980. There were 0 HDD’s and 1 CDD’s The overnight low here in MBY so far is 50. The official H/L at Grand Rapids yesterday was 76/55 there was 54% of possible sunshine. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) Huntsville, AL, reported a record 11.65 inches for the month, compared to the 0.17 inch rainfall total in June 1988. In Colorado, 15 inches of snow was reported at the summit of Mount Evans and, in Wyoming, 18 inches was reported at Dickensen Park, west of Lander. (The National Weather Summary)ġ989 – The first day of summer heralded snow in the northern and central Rockies.

Ironically, at about the same time, heavy rains in the Mississippi Valley were causing the river to swell to its highest level of record at New Orleans, LA. The heat wave initiated a severe three year drought in the Central Plains Region. Here are some fun weather facts for the 1 st day of summer in weather history.ġ893 – On the first day of summer the temperature at Dodge City, KS, soared to 106 degrees during the midst of a blistering heat wave. ![]() After the summer solstice, the hours of daylight start to decrease. The summer solstice is the longest day of the year, or the day with the most daylight. ![]() The 2023 summer solstice is June 21 at 10:58 a.m. This system is mainly used by meteorologists. The meteorological start of the season is based on annual temperature cycles and the 12-month calendar. The changes of seasons are marked by solstices or equinoxes. Astronomical seasons are based on the Earth’s position in relation to the sun. Meteorological summer, which started June 1, is in full swing. ![]() ![]() It has some new attacks up its sleeve however: the skull protruding from its chest is capable of breathing deadly flames, and the scythe is an organic weapon known as the Life Reaper the Avatar of Evil will leap from the portal to fly, positioning itself above a nearby enemy unit or as far as possible, before slamming its scythe behind them and raking backwards, spewing out deadly flames that incinerate anything it touches, before readjusting itself accordingly, making its special attack the only way to move around.Īs a standalone unit, the Life Reaper possesses a will of its own and tries to capture the living. It retains the standard energy projectile attack as in the original encounter, spewing out numerous projectiles that roughly target the nearest enemy unit in range. Being an incredibly powerful and large being, a massive summoning portal surrounds its hip area, making it incapable of standard movement. The Avatar of Evil made its debut as a playable unit in Metal Slug Attack as the Ptolemaic Army's Ultimate Boss, summoned and developed by Mira. Ptolemaios' younger form will also summon the Avatar of Evil as his special attack. The Avatar of Evil made its first appearance as part of Abyssal Ptolemaios' special attack appearing in the background readying its scythe and slamming it a few spaces forward with deadly smoke spewing out. Once sufficiently damaged, several explosions will burst forth from the demon, and it will fly away - thus preventing us from ever knowing exactly what this behemoth was. Merely dodging the scythe is not enough, as it will create a spray of deadly arcing smoke projectiles upon impact with the ground. The demon's shadow will appear in the background, raising its Life Reaper to target the player's position, giving a moments notice to get out of the way. After a short time, it will cast a large amount of spheres and fly away. In battle, the Avatar of Evil attacks by casting a series of energy spheres that track down the player. Its weapon, the Life Reaper is a sentient organic scythe that is said to have a mind of its own in which it thrives off the souls of the living.Īt the beginning of the fight, the players' characters use their "chilly" animation, suggesting that the boss may have a cold body or that the battle takes place at a high altitude. ![]() So despite its fearsome appearance and notable strength, the Avatar of Evil is actually not all-powerful by any means.Īccording to Mira, the Avatar of Evil is powered by human emotions, and feeds off them to grow stronger. Only one thing is for certain it is susceptible to conventional human weaponry, enough to send it packing after prolonged damage. In the main game, it relies on energy projectiles and its scythe, known as a Life Reaper, to attack its enemies. Although its origins and purpose are unknown (the game makes no mention of its existence until the final battle), it is perhaps the true mastermind of the game's events, possibly manipulating the Ptolemaic Army through the white masks used by their cult leaders. In recent times a lot of us want to Do it Ourselves, handle tasks ourselves, own our problems, and own the solution. Having an item that matches such complexity, is a must-have if you desire a perfect result. This ensures that when effecting patterns on your wood item, being able to adjust the Smart saker ensures that you can effect contours on the wood more effectively as some wood come with irregular shapes. It can be bent to any point to ensure ease of use.it can be adjusted to any point of tightness and to any point suitable to ensure proper profiling and contour effect. The Smart Saker is also very flexible and adjustable. But with the Saker Contour Gauge or the Smart Saker presenting neat work to your client will not be a hard thing to do as it is well crafted to ensure that every work produced with the use of it is neat and clean. No one would love to purchase a rough table, chair, etc, that has a rough surface, poor linings, pattern, etc.Įvery client needs neat work but as a vendor or manufacturer, without the right tools, tools made to deliver neat works, you wouldn’t meet that criterion. In carpentry and general wood, work neatness of finished work is like a key performance indicator. This product also saves you the stress in transferring profiles to paper and cardboard sheets and helps you measure, pattern, and cut accurately and easier.Īnother important feature that makes the Saker Contour Gauge stand out is its ability to provide a neat result. It does this by creating templates for curved and old shapes profiles.

The Smart Saker or Saker Contour Gauge is a sleek, lightweight, compact, and portable tool that was built to enable the user to effect perfect contours, patterns edges, and cut accurately. "Irregular patterns are the culprit of your failure on hand-drawn contours." Any irregular corner, or tricky baseboard shape adds hours of trial and error in creating the perfect fit when doing a project. We are ordinary people, not professional manufacturers. It turns out that a successful project has little to do with how you cut the material. I made it my mission to figure out how the experts do it. ![]() I can’t even think of the hours I’ve spent re-cutting botched outlines. Not to mention all of the extra trips to the hardware store. I was frustrated and tired of wasting money on the extra supplies I’d inevitably need to buy due to my mistakes. ![]() The jagged cuts along the edges looked like they were bitten by a dog. I picked up the useless lumber in my hands - everything looked terrible. But all I had after a day’s work was a pile of wasted supplies. I had planned to make a beautiful bookshelf by hand. The last time this happened, I had to throw away another $60 worth of expensive wood. |
