Sweet potato souffle11/4/2022 ![]() HUGE hit at Christmas dinner with everyone. Substituted 1/2 cup brown sugar for all the white, but otherwise made as written. making my newphew joshua his favorite sweep potato dish! who cares if it is a souffle or not. I'm not a fan of too-sweet sweet potatoes, so I reduced the sugar to only 1/2 cup and left off the marshmallows. This was delicious, but I did make a couple of changes. And the cooking time was twice - 1 hour - instead of 30 minutes (which could have been because of my following a reviewer's note substituting maple syrup for some of the sugar). I thought the addition of lemon was a bit weird. This recipe seems to be a twist on a custard-type rather than a souffle because the eggs are mixed in rather than whipped separately and folded in. I substituted pumpkin for the sweet potato, since they are pretty interchangeable. 1.5c of sugar, add 2 tsp of finely ground crystallized ginger, omitted the coconut and added the whipped egg white! Yummy and we feel like we are home for a day! I always bake both sweet potatoes and jewel yams the night before and let them rest vs. I make this every year for traditions sake and to get some southern comfort in our PacNW Fall, but this year I tweaked it. Way to go Selma Wilkes! I am putting your cookbook into my Amazon wish list. I am already making them again for a Christmas party and they may find their way into my Easter and Valentines menu as well. I didn't bother with the marsh mellow topping for the original serving, but used them for leftovers served to a late arriving cousin and it was great either way. I used raw sugar instead of regular and boiled the sweet potatoes in coconut milk for extra flavor. I did this almost exactly as the recipe was written and everyone loved it. It had the best consistency! My sons have informed me that this better be at every Thanksgiving dinner from now on! Sweet, simple, and delicious!! Used cream with vanilla instead of evaporated milk because I had none. Both were devoured.Īmazing! Did not put in all the "extra" stuff, like pecans and coconut and raisons. ![]() Made one batch with marshmallows on top and one without. And I used 2 whipped egg whites that I folded in rather than 2 whole eggs. As other reviewers suggested, I used 3/4c brown sugar rather than 1 1/2c refined sugar. ![]()

Spiny pocket mouse ca11/2/2022 ![]() ![]() Both viruses are thought to be maintained in stable enzootic cycles in between epizootics/epidemics. Culex species of the subgenus Melanoconion have been incriminated as enzootic vectors in Latin America for MADV and VEEV. Up to 10% of clinical dengue cases in Neotropical regions in Latin America may actually be VEEV. However, VEE resulting from enzootic strain spillover is underdiagnosed, due to the lack of readily available diagnostic tools and the extensive overlap in signs and symptoms with dengue and other acute febrile infectious diseases. #SPINY POCKET MOUSE CA DRIVERS#The mechanism of enzootic circulation and the drivers of emergence of MADV as a human pathogen remain unknown.īy comparison, explosive VEEV epidemics and epizootics involving equine amplification have resulted in up to 100,000 human cases and thousands of equine fatalities in Latin America. Phylogenetic analysis of MADV strains isolated in the 2010 outbreak revealed that the circulating virus was very similar to the 19 Panama isolates associated with equine outbreaks, and thus was not a recently imported strain. investigated an equine outbreak of MADV in Panama in 1973, and found that none of the 1700 humans surveyed in the same region was seropositive for MADV. Studies in Peru revealed that, while isolation of MADV from mosquitoes known to feed on humans was common, no MADV was isolated in acutely febrile patients, and overall seroprevalence was very low. There is significant divergence between North American eastern equine encephalitis (NA EEEV) and Madariaga virus, raising the potential for differences in transmission cycles and virulence. MADV was confirmed in 13 cases, VEEV in 11, and one case of dual infection was detected. During this outbreak, MADV and VEEV co-circulated, with over 100 suspected cases and 19 hospitalizations for encephalitis. However, unlike its northern counterpart, Madariaga (MADV, formerly known as South American EEEV) was not associated with human outbreaks prior to 2010, when the first known human MADV outbreak was reported from Darien, Panama. In Central and South America, VEEV gives rise to a spectrum of disease in humans, ranging from undifferentiated fevers to fatal encephalitis and hemorrhage. Both circulate nearly throughout the Americas. Madariaga (MADV) and Venezuelan equine encephalitis viruses (VEEV) are mosquito-borne, single-stranded positive sense RNA viruses (family Togaviridae, genus Alphavirus). This association was absent for MADV, suggesting that this virus emerged recently to infect humans. Increasing prevalence with age was seen for VEEV, confirming that VEEV is endemic in the region. ![]() Farming and fishing were risk factors for exposure to both viruses, and having antibodies to one virus diminished the risk of being positive for the other. The animal with highest seroprevalence for VEEV, the long-whiskered rice rat ( Transandinomys bolivaris), commonly occurs in forest, and the epidemiological risk factors included working in the forest. Indeed, the risk factors for human MADV exposure were cattle ranching and farming. This rodent species is most often found in pasture and farm land. Zygodontomys brevicauda, the short-tailed cane mouse, had the highest seroprevalence for MADV. They contrast the findings with those for Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV), an endemic, genetically similar virus. In this study, the authors searched for possible animal hosts of this virus, and sought to describe its epidemiology. Neither its epidemiology nor its transmission cycle is understood. In 2010, the first documented human outbreak of the mosquito-borne, zoonotic Madariaga virus (MADV) occurred in the Darien region of Panama. Other featured forest dwellers in the video include a tiny harvest mouse, the Mexican deer mouse, and a large herbivorous rodent called a Paca.Arthropod-borne viruses are important causes of encephalitis. Its two outstanding features are its large spring-loaded hind feet that help it escape from predators and its external cheek pouches for taking large quantities of seed back to its den.” “They are found between 750 meters and 1,850 meters in the Tilaran Mountains.

Samsung bot handy11/2/2022 ![]() ![]() Samsung says it can navigate around cables and small objects while making sure to get into hard-to-reach areas of your home. At the CES 2022, we show two types of life companion robots: the Samsung Bot I, an interaction robot, and the Samsung Bot Handy, a household assistant robot through a combination of AI, Mobility, and Manipulation technologies. The JetBot 90 AI+ vacuum uses LiDAR and 3D sensors to figure out the optimal cleaning path. Samsung Research is currently working on various robotic-based platforms building on our extensive expertise in AI. However, it showed off another machine that US residents should actually be able to buy in the first half of this year. ![]() Samsung is currently testing those robots and it didn’t say if or when you’ll be able to get your hands on them. SAMSUNG BOT HANDY PATCHBot Care can also patch you in to conference calls with its handy built-in display. It might, for instance, nag you to get up and stretch your legs if it thinks you’ve been at your computer for too long. The company says Bot Care will recognize and understand your behaviors and offer reminders. Using AI, it can “take care of all the little details in your life,” Samsung Research head Sebastian Seung said during a presentation. These include Bot Retail, which will help with shopping, and GEMS, Samsung’s exoskeleton.The revamped Bot Care is more of a personal assistant and companion. In addition, Samsung is also developing other applications using artificial intelligence. The JetBot 90 AI+ should go on sale in the U.S. The vacuum cleaner also has a camera integrated with the SmartThings app, which will allow the owner to keep an eye on pets while no one is home. Samsung claims that the vacuum cleaner will be smart enough to approach objects that aren’t particularly fragile, such as a child’s toy, and stay away from things it might break, such as a vase. The JetBot 90 AI+ is a robotic vacuum cleaner equipped with LIDAR, a 3D sensor and artificial intelligence that help it recognize objects and avoid obstacles. As with the Bot Handy, there is no indication of how advanced its development is.Īs for actual products, Samsung has a robot that the company is set to release this year. In a demonstration, Samsung showed how the robot opens its built-in screen so its owner can join a video call. It uses this information much like self-driving vehicles to perform various household tasks wherever you need an extra hand. The robot is supposed to become something like a personal assistant, which will remind the user to take a break during work or an upcoming meeting. The Samsung Bot Handy has an advanced AI system that can recognize and grab objects of various sizes, shapes, and weights, for example the dirty dishes your roommate left in the kitchen sink. In addition to Bot Handy, Samsung also showed off an updated version of Bot Care, the "robotic assistant and companion" that the company first introduced in 2019. The robot can move around the room on a rotating base, swivel from side to side, and rise to reach high objects. Samsung kicked off its CES 2021 event with a. ![]() The robot’s body and arm are equipped with cameras to recognize objects. Samsung at CES 2021: SmartThings Cooking Service, JetBot 90 AI+ Cleaner, Bot Handy Robot Debut Ron Allen. The robot has one arm that can rotate at three points – at the "shoulder, " "elbow, " and "wrist" – and with a clip instead of a hand. In its current form, Bot Handy is a tall, thin, black and white robot with two large display eyes that change expression when it moves or when its owner appears. Bot Handy is described as "in development. The company has previously used CES to demonstrate robots that were more of a concept than an actual product. Samsung hasn’t announced a price or release date for the robot. At this point, it’s unclear how close Bot Handy is to becoming an actual product ready for purchase. Samsung claims it can recognize objects using a camera and artificial intelligence.īot Handy is intended to "become an extension" of the user and help them with household chores. ![]() At CES-2021, Samsung unveiled a robot that can pick up laundry, load the dishwasher, set the table, pour wine and fetch a drink. ![]()

To master destruction in Skyrim, you’ll need to reach level 100 Destruction. Its massive area means that enemies at a distance can still be hit by it, and those up close will take even more damage and likely burn to death.

The next time Nazeem asks me if I get to the cloud district often, I really want to turn him into a pile of goop on the ground and send the rest of Whiterun running away in fear. This mod fixes that completely, and it also gives you an MCM menu where you can tweak things as you see fit. It also definitely needs to kill in one hit and probably should only work on humans/elves. I think it should probably be a spell with extremely high magicka cost but fast cast time. Adding in the blood explosion effect and sounds from the vampire lord transformation might give it a little extra zest as well.
