![]() ![]() Stir through and then spread the BBQ sauce over the top but don’t mix through. Add half of the cooked bacon back to the pot and reserve the rest. Add the remaining ingredients except for the barbecue sauce. This is important because if there is anything burnt stuck on the bottom, you will get the Burn signal. Add the stock and stir scraping the bottom with a spatula to remove any stuck bits. Add onions, bell peppers and ground beef and cook for 4-5 minutes to brown off. Remove the cooked bacon and set it aside in a bowl. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring a few times until browned and crispy. Press the Saute function key on the Instant Pot (press it more than once to cycle to More mode, which is hotter) and add the oil and bacon. Strain the canned beans (not the baked beans though). Chop and dice all the ingredients before you start cooking. You can use a 6-quart or 8-quart Instant Pot. Here are some handy step-by-step photos of how to make homemade Cowboy beans in the Instant Pot. You will find the full recipe with ingredients and nutritional breakdown in the recipe card below. Another time we used more savory sauce and the added sugar was spot on! So, this really depends on your preference for sweetness. ![]() We’ve made it once in the past, when adding the sugar resulted in beans that were a little too sweet and it was because of the BBQ sauce we used. Many recipes call for brown sugar which we included in this picture but it can be omitted depending on how sweet the BBQ sauce is.Garlic and onion powder, paprika and a little cayenne or red chili for heat, plus mustard and good barbecue sauce. Sauce ingredients – there are many variations of what to flavor the sauce of cowboy beans so this is our version.Onions & bell peppers – being a southwestern recipe, these two vegetables usually make an appearance in stewed and braised dishes.Diced streaky or Canadian bacon can be used. Some will use ham hock or shredded brisket. Bacon – This is optional and not all recipes use bacon but it adds a lot of flavor.You can also use ground pork, chicken or turkey if you don’t eat beef. Ground beef– We recommend using lean ground beef for this recipe, about 90-95% meat.Strain the unflavored beans but keep the baked beans sauce. This recipe uses all canned beans! There are some recipes that use uncooked beans, which they usually cook first. Beans – There are three kinds of beans in this dish: red or pinto beans, white beans or black-eyed peas and baked beans (tomato sauce based ones).The ingredients for this homemade cowboy beans recipe are simple and easy to get: It can be enjoyed as a main dish or as a side to grilled meat and burgers, scooped into a hot dog or sandwich, or served with some bread or buns for soaking up all that sauce.Īnd don’t forget some veggies! Serve a side of collard greens or steamed broccoli for added color and vitamins or pair the beans with some refreshing, crunchy coleslaw. Often referred to as cowboy baked beans, this dish is typically served at parties, potlucks and BBQs. The sauce is flavored with onion and garlic powders, ketchup or/and barbecue sauce, and mustard and will often have onions and bell peppers for a southwestern twist. The dish usually features pinto or black-eyed beans but also some white beans and ready-made baked beans. It’s like baked beans with that extra punch of flavors and the additional nutrients. It consists of beans and ground beef cooked in a tangy, sweet, barbecue flavored sauce. Cowboy beans (also known as chuckwagon beans or calico beans, there are a few variations out there) are a baked bean dish popular in the southwestern United States. ![]()

In the wake of a new ultra affluent class, businesses that cater to the elite proliferate with mandates that condone dehumanization in the name of advancement. Shots of a rave or at a water park touch on that, but only in passing. When the film moves from looking at marginalized the masses to zeroing in on those convinced they can attain a spot at the top, “Ascension” seems to be missing a longer note on how the hyper-society has changed interpersonal relationships. And in the digital age, physical goods are far from the most coveted acquisition, but the introduction of personal branding as pathway to riches has entrapped many, with an “instructor” flat out noting knowledge has no value if it can’t be monetized. The myth of trickle-down economics to achieve a redistribution of wealth is also invoked. The people on camera repeatedly hint at how concerned Chinese corporations are with surpassing the United States. The idealized figures embody the utter commodification of every aspect of existence, with even sexual satisfaction being sold as customizable. Plastic heads and inert torsos welcome us to one of the film's most dystopian sequences, about the fabrication of erotic dolls made to order, with clients providing input on minutia about these synthetic bodies being assembled, ironically, by women. One young woman wears a jacket that reads, “Be a Daydreamer, It’s Not Bad,” for a moment of cruel irony. To help the viewer remember the humanity amid the insatiable manufacturing, Kingdon steals glimpses of workers fighting sleep. Companies seek working bees existing solely to increase productivity, except if you are even a day older than 38, in that case you no longer have value in this work force. The dismal perks, enticing in this context, include being able to do manual labor while sitting down or having a dorm located within walking distance to the factory. In a city center, recruiters call for prospective employees to enumerate the specifications of the open positions. These generic platitudes place the burden of poverty and lack of opportunities on those most affected by them, and read as unimaginably facetious following the quite literal job market Kingdon opens with. Slogans plastered across urban spaces preach hard work as a means to a greater quality of life, mantras not unfamiliar to those of us in the West. Their faces are accompanied by an ominous score from composer Dan Deacon. Kingdon’s imagery meanwhile gives the impression of spontaneity but communicates loudly who the beneficiaries and the victims are of relentless industrial growth. On a broader scale, “Ascension” stands as a spiritual cousin to Rahul Jain’s “ Machines,” an Indian film about the exploitation of poor individuals in a textile factory, but with its sights set upwards as it tracks the different layers of the Chinese social strata. As engrossing as it’s alarming, the documentary flows with a stream of consciousness about the illusion of the “Chinese Dream.” Without blunt commentary other than the subtext Kingdon instills through the curation of the material, and some candid remarks of anonymous subjects, "Ascension" ruminates on many places of employment and career-advancement programs. ![]() ![]() ![]() You may have played other defense strategy or “TD” games but get ready to play THE Tower Defense!

Tiny Thief revive la magia de las aventuras gráficas de antaño con un estilo inimitable y un sentido del humor muy original. You can pop it open for a picture-based walkthrough of the level, but once you do, you won't be able to use it again for four hours. At the start of each level, you have no idea what these items are, and you often have to complete a series of specific steps to find them, which, as you can imagine, is extremely tough.įortunately, if you get stuck on a level, there's the Book of Hints up top, which can help you get unstuck. Earning the third star is so difficult because each level asks you to find one or more secret items. PG commenters and App Store reviewers were up in arms when they went to re-download Tiny Thief to check out its new Bewitched update, only. While the first two objectives are fairly straightforward throughout the game, the third is not as clear. Like a thief who has been caught red handed, Rovio has restored access to Tiny Thief 's fourth and fifth chapters, for iOS gamers who had purchased the charming puzzler before it went free-to-play last week. In fact, I've gone through a number of levels without spotting the ferret at all, which speaks to the difficulty of this objective. Tiny Thief is studio 5 Ants' latest game and first foray into the adventure genre it is essentially a 'lite' adventure game, in which the unnamed protagonist is tasked with thieving from the rich, powerful and corrupt and helping their victims, in a Robin Hood-esque role (albeit toned down to a more family-friendly image). The story of Tiny Thief follows a childlike thief whose goal is to steal items from enemies. ![]() The game was part of Rovio Entertainment's Rovio Stars program. It's hiding somewhere in the level, and spotting the creature gets increasingly tough as you go, since later levels usually offer more places for it to hide. Tiny Thief was a point and click adventure video game which was developed by 5Ants and published by Rovio Entertainment. To get the second, more difficult star, you need to find your pet ferret. ![]() ![]() That’s why busy highways tend to have multiple lines going both ways. When too many cars travel in the same line, the speed of traffic can slow down to a crawl and make traveling anything but enjoyable. Why? Because Wi-Fi channels are sort of like the lines on the highway. It’s paramount that you pick a channel that isn’t already occupied by several other nearby wireless networks. ![]() One available option lets you choose which Wi-Fi channel the router should operate on. When you received your home router from your ISP, the chances are that you weren’t paying much attention to all configuration options available. Why Do I Need to Use a Wireless Channel Scanner? Some Wi-Fi channel analyzer and Wi-Fi channel scanner apps, however, are far more reliable than others, and some also come with unique features that make Wi-Fi network optimization much easier. Most Wi-Fi channel analyzer and SSID scanner apps can detect which channel a Wi-Fi network operates on and plot all nearby networks on a graph to make it obvious which channels are used the least. At the moment, routers with support for this newest band are still expensive, but they are guaranteed to become more affordable as time goes on. The main benefits of the 6 GHz frequency range are its speed and capacity. What many Wi-Fi routers still can't do is operate on the 6 GHz frequency band, which is a newer addition to the radio spectrum, introduced by the 802.11ax standard. Modern Wi-Fi routers can typically take advantage of both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz at the same time to combine their strengths. The 5 GHz frequency band is another widely used part of the radio spectrum, offering faster data transfer rates, less interference, and more available channels at the expense of a shorter range compared to 2.4 GHz. They include a packet sniffer and a real-time performance monitoring tool, just to give two examples of some of the tools that make this humble wireless channel scanner for Mac so useful. ![]() Other wireless diagnostics Mac utilities included with the Wireless Diagnostics tool can be opened from the Window menu in the Wireless Diagnostics menu bar.

The sail is considered a spinnaker instead of a genoa because of its dimensions. It was very successful and since its introduction racers around the world have followed suit. The event winners, Paul Cayard and the crew of ‘EF Language’, used a very small, tight-reaching spinnaker that could be used while the other teams could only use their genoas. The code zero was introduced in the 1997/98 Whitbread (now Volvo) Round the World Race. However, the practical applications of the sail apply just as much (if not more) to cruising boats. Racers have discovered that because of its size and applicable wind strength and angle ranges, the sail has benefits for racing performance while avoiding rating penalties. Officially a code zero is a spinnaker for use in tight-reaching in light air – that’s it! The sail tends to be the smallest spinnaker in any sail inventory, whether racing or cruising. In this article we remove some of the mystique around this specialty sail and explain how it can be used to enhance anyone’s sailing experience. Many sailors, especially cruisers, shy away from cruising the code zero, despite the sail’s versatility and ability to add significant increases in boat speed. This boat is centrally listed by RCR Yachts.By Chuck Skewes of Ullman Sails San Diego Tampa Yacht Sales is pleased to assist you in the purchase of this vessel. At the foot of the gently sloping companionway, the L-shaped galley has top and bottom storage, a 75-litre refrigerator and a real oven under the gas stove. The large shower room is divided into a marine toilet on one side and shower and washbasin on the other. The two benches in the saloon provide an additional place for two extra berths. The two good-sized double cabins each have berths running lengthwise and an open entryway making them feel particularly spacious. With a few extra centimetres won in strategic places the Oceanis 30.1 differs from other boats, thanks to a headspace of 1.98 m in all the places inside where it is comfortable to stand. Aft, a step affords access to the sea and can be supplemented by a small lifting platform. For performance, the Oceanis 30.1 has a large overlapping genoa, a furling code zero and an asymmetric spinnaker. For beginners or for short-handed sailing, the self-tailing jib and the single winch make her easy to handle. With her slender bow, optimized weight, stiff canvas and square-top mainsail, she performs well in all points of sailing. The Finot-Conq plan has met the double challenge of power and simple navigation. With a stemhead and her hard-chine hull and well-proportioned sides and coachroof, the Oceanis 30.1 looks unashamedly like a small yacht. With unbeatable living space for its size and a focus on simplicity of use, the smallest model of the cruising range is nevertheless stylish, and fast, with a highly competitive ready-to-sail price.

Stressful life events have been implicated in the aetiology of depression in both humans and animals 21, 22. How an animal responds to both punishment and reward offers a way of accessing their enduring negative affective states: whilst anxiety and depression can both be characterized by greater expectation of punishment, depression is also associated with a reduced expectation of reward 20. Whilst previous studies investigating the effects of handling method on mouse welfare have measured the animals’ behaviour towards aversive experiences or punishments (such as being picked up by a handler or being placed in a novel test environment 13, 14, 15), measuring responses to positive experiences and rewards (hedonic responses) are also important for understanding the full impact of handling methods on the affective state of an animal 17, 18, 19. Here, we extend previous work on handling methods to test if being handled by the tail or with a tunnel can affect the hedonic responses of mice towards a rewarding stimulus. However, despite the evidence that tail handling can impair welfare and scientific data collection, it remains the main method used to handle mice and other more refined methods such as tunnel handling have yet to be widely implemented across research institutions. In addition, tail handling can reduce performance in cognitive tests, for example it has been shown to reduce the engagement of mice with a novel mouse odour in a habituation task, resulting in the impairment of the subsequent dishabituation test 15. The standard practice of handling laboratory mice using their tails has been shown to increase anxiety compared to being handled with a tunnel or by cupping mice on the open hand 13, 14, 15: tunnel handled mice spend more time voluntarily interacting with a handler, and show less anxiety-related behaviour in standardised behavioural tests of anxiety such as the elevated plus maze 13, 14, 15. ![]() However, more recently, it has been proposed that the handling technique used by researchers and laboratory staff influences both the welfare of mice, and the data obtained from behavioural studies 13, 14, 15, 16. This revealed that small cage sizes, lack of environmental enrichment, room temperatures and isolation can all negatively impact on mouse welfare, producing measurable changes in behaviour, physiology or affective state 9, 10, 11, 12. Much early work examined the housing in which mice are kept. Consequently, understanding the experiences of mice used in research is of significant importance in order to be able to provide evidence-based improvements to housing and husbandry that will bring welfare benefits to a large number of animals, and ensure that empirical findings are robust 3, 8. Mice are the most widely used species in biomedical research globally in 2016 they were used in 73% of all procedures in the UK alone 7. Laboratory environments can negatively impact on the behaviour, physiology, health and welfare of animals 1, 2, 3, 4 and considerable effort is made to regulate and improve the welfare of animals used in research laboratories around the world 5, 6. Our findings have significant implications for the welfare of laboratory mice as well as the design and interpretation of scientific studies, particularly those investigating or involving reward. We found that tail handled mice showed more anhedonic responses in both measures compared to tunnel handled mice, indicative of a decreased responsiveness to reward and potentially a more depressive-like state. Anhedonia is a core symptom of clinical depression, and is measured in rodents by assessing how they consume a sucrose solution: depressed mice consume less sucrose and the size of their licking bouts when drinking (their ‘lick cluster sizes’) also tend to be smaller. In this study, we provide the first evidence that tail handling also reduces mice’s responses to reward. However, despite clear negative effects on mice’s behaviour, tunnel handling has yet to be widely implemented. Recent studies have identified that the standard practice of handling laboratory mice by their tails increases behaviours indicative of anxiety, which can be overcome by handling mice using a tunnel. Consequently, it is important to refine laboratory procedures and practices to ensure high standards of welfare and scientific data quality. Mice are the most widely used model species for drug discovery and scientific research. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is always best to start from a clean workspace and / or a fresh clone.
