Species management benchmarking: outcomes over outputs in a changing operating environment.
Species management has been utilized by the zoo and aquarium industry, since the mid-1990s, to ensure the ongoing genetic and demographic viability of populations, which can be difficult to maintain in the ever-changing operating environments of zoos. In 2009, the Zoo and Aquarium Association Australasia reviewed their species management services, focusing on addressing issues that had arisen as a result of the managed programs maturing and operating environments evolving. In summary, the project examined resourcing, policies, processes, and species to be managed. As a result, a benchmarking tool was developed (Health Check Report, HCR), which evaluated the programs against a set of broad criteria. A comparison of managed programs (n = 98), between 2008 and 2011, was undertaken to ascertain the tool's effectiveness. There was a marked decrease in programs that were designated as weak (37 down to 13); and an increase in excellent programs (24 up to 49) between the 2 years. Further, there were significant improvements in the administration benchmarking area (submission of reports, captive management plan development) across a number of taxon advisory groups. This HCR comparison showed that a benchmarking tool enables a program's performance to be quickly assessed and any remedial measures applied. The increases observed in program health were mainly due to increased management goals being attained. The HCR will be an ongoing program, as the management of the programs increases and goals are achieved, criteria will be refined to better highlight ongoing issues and ways in which these can be resolved.

Lesson Title: Species Management Benchmarking

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about species management benchmarking and how it is used to ensure the ongoing genetic and demographic viability of populations in zoos and aquariums. We will also explore the challenges faced by these institutions and how they can be addressed.

Core Value:
The core value of this lesson is the importance of evaluating and comparing species management programs against a set of broad criteria to ensure their effectiveness.

Section 1: Background Information

Species management has been practiced by the zoo and aquarium industry since the mid-1990s to maintain the genetic and demographic viability of populations. This is important because many species are difficult to maintain in captivity due to changing operating environments.

In 2009, the Zoo and Aquarium Association Australasia reviewed their species management services and addressed issues that had arisen as a result of the managed programs maturing and operating environments evolving.

Section 2: Understanding Species Management Benchmarking

Benchmarking is the process of evaluating and comparing species management programs against a set of broad criteria. The Health Check Report (HCR) is a benchmarking tool developed by the Zoo and Aquarium Association Australasia that evaluates species management programs against a set of broad criteria.

The HCR is designed to assess the following aspects of species management programs:

1. Resourcing: This criterion evaluates the resources allocated to species management programs, including staff, funding, and facilities.

2. Policies: This criterion assesses the policies and procedures that govern species management programs, such as breeding plans, health management, and conservation strategies.

3. Processes: This criterion evaluates the processes used in species management programs, including data collection, analysis, and decision-making.

4. Species: This criterion assesses the species being managed, including their conservation status, population trends, and management requirements.

Section 3: Applying Species Management Benchmarking

To apply species management benchmarking, zoos and aquariums must first identify the species they wish to manage and develop a species management plan. This plan should outline the goals and objectives of the program, the resources available, and the policies and procedures that will be followed.

Once the species management plan has been developed, the HCR can be used to evaluate the program against the set of broad criteria. This evaluation will provide valuable feedback on the strengths and weaknesses of the program and suggest areas for improvement.

Section 4: Conclusion

In conclusion, species management benchmarking is an essential tool for ensuring the ongoing genetic and demographic viability of populations in zoos and aquariums. By evaluating and comparing species management programs against a set of broad criteria, institutions can identify areas for improvement and ensure that their programs are effective. By applying the principles of species management benchmarking, zoos and aquariums can continue to maintain and preserve endangered species for future generations.

Self-Debate Discussion:

What are some challenges that zoos and aquariums may face when managing endangered species? How can species management benchmarking help address these challenges?

Answer: Some challenges that zoos and aquariums may face when managing endangered species include changing operating environments, limited resources, and complex conservation needs. Species management benchmarking can help address these challenges by providing a framework for evaluating and comparing species management programs against a set of broad criteria. This allows institutions to identify areas for improvement and ensure that their programs are effective in maintaining and preserving endangered species. Additionally, benchmarking can help institutions prioritize resources and allocate them efficiently to maximize the impact of their species management efforts.

Spiritual Teacher Responsibility

A Teacher is a Guide that introduces you to Unconditional Love within..A Spiritual Teacher and Coaches Responsibility to the Student
There is an aspect of teaching that is profoundly important to me, yet is rarely talked about. It has to do with the responsibility that a teacher has to a student. Students will often put the teacher on a pedestal. They assume that the teacher knows something that they don’t, and then rely on the teacher’s guidance. Whether the teacher realizes it or not, people will make an authority figure out of him or her. By doing so, the student puts their faith, or personal power, in the words of their teacher. This is not necessarily bad. If a person is in a high degree of hell, and they need help to get out of it, they are often better off listening to someone who has moved past those demons, than to the judge and victim in their own mind.
When a student puts their trust in a teacher, the teacher then has a great responsibility to the student. The teacher is in service to the student. But, this does not mean that the teacher is responsible for the student. The student remains always responsible for their own choices, actions, and results of their actions.
In the beginning of my time as a teacher, I did not appreciate the level of responsibility that students put in my hand. In one manner I did, because I was aware of my own process and don Miguel’s guidance. On the other hand, I was naïve of how much faith my students would put in what I said. As I became more aware of people’s willingness to put their faith in me (something that I didn’t really consider the impact of early on) I became more careful of my instructions and guidance.
Through my experience with don Miguel I became aware of how a dedicated Spiritual pursuit will bring change to your life. In the way you view the world, feel emotionally, what career changes might be incurred, relationships, and everything else.
The integration of these changes in ones life can be challenging. They often take time. If rushed, they become sources of drama that interfere with our creation of happiness. When the integration of change becomes more a source of suffering than a source of happiness, we are moving too fast. I often find myself instructing clients to have patience in accepting things the way they are,,, and never to hurry up. The price of too much change too fast, is too high. Yet sometimes they still want to hurry.
Don Miguel’s has often said, “We are not in a hurry, and there is no time to waste.”
As a teacher, these words have a profoundly deeper meaning when I consider my responsibility to my students.
One of the greatest lessons I learned from don Miguel had to do with Power. Through an experience I had with him, I discovered what an extraordinary connection he had with Intent ( Spirit, Power). I was quite impressed. I didn’t understand it very well, but I knew it was big. What I immediately began to wonder was why he didn’t do more with it. Why not do big acts of power all the time? It could have an incredible impact on people to shift the whole dream of their life.
As I journeyed into this question about don Miguel, I saw the amount of refrain he had in the use of Power. What I then saw was behind this motivation of refrain. I saw that don Miguel had no desire to change anyone, or their life. He only loved and accepted people just the way that they are. His love was/is, so unconditional, that he loves people just the way they are. In that unconditional love, there is no desire or need to change anybody.
This is when I saw the real nature of don Miguel. I understood what unconditional love was. It means not needing to change anyone, and that includes yourself. This realization became much more powerful to me than any act of power could have performed. His unconditional love and respect was more powerful than any Ceremony, or act of Power or change could ever be. He loved me just the way that I was. I didn’t have to try to be anything any more. I was lovable. I was good enough just the way that I was. He loved me no matter what I was. And in his reflection, I began to love myself just the way that I was. No conditions.
For me, to love unconditionally became the most powerful act of transformation. It transformed me and my entire personal dream. It completely changed my relationship with myself and forced me to dissolve all the fear based beliefs and judgments in my min.
And the irony is, that it came to me through someone who didn’t have a need to change me. He was teaching by example. It was simple. He was just living it, and wasn’t even doing anything to bring attention to how he loved me.
To me, Unconditional Love is at the heart of what a teacher has a responsibility to impart to those he or she is responsible to. It may be the only thing they have a responsibility to.
If you have a teacher or coach with an agenda to change you or make you "better", consider how this interferes with self acceptance. They may want the best for you, but their best might come with an agenda that you could or should be different than you are. This will not be a reflection of love and acceptance. It is love that makes you happy and allows you to be yourself.

text: geekyhobbies asked:. I saw a native american selling handmade jewelry in a festival. I wasnt sure if I could buy, because Im white and if I have dream catcher earrings or something, it'd be appropriation. But, the native man was inviting ppl to wear, by selling them, and it makes up his income, in which case my money would be supporting an actual native. But, sometimes I wonder if natives are pressured to sell what looks "authentic" to white ppl, but is more like tourist shlock, because they need money. Any advice?

Title: Supporting Native American Communities Through Purchases

## Introduction

As a consumer, you may feel conflicted about purchasing Native American-made products due to concerns about cultural appropriation and the impact on Native communities. In this lesson, we will explore ways to support Native American communities through your purchases while also being mindful of cultural sensitivities.

## Section 1: Understanding Cultural Appropriation and Its Impact

Cultural appropriation refers to the adoption or borrowing of elements from one culture by members of another culture. It can often lead to negative consequences for the originating culture, such as loss of cultural identity, misrepresentation, or exploitation.

## Section 2: How to Support Native American Communities Through Purchases

1. Research the Seller: Before making a purchase, research the seller to ensure that they are actually Native American-owned and operated. This can help you avoid supporting businesses that may be exploiting Native culture for profit.

2. Buy Directly From Native Artisans: Whenever possible, buy directly from Native American artisans or at festivals where they are selling their own work. This ensures that your money is going directly to the people who created the product and not a middleman.

3. Support Native-Owned Businesses: Look for Native-owned businesses in your area and support them by purchasing their products. This can help contribute to the local economy and provide employment opportunities for Native Americans.

4. Be Mindful of Cultural Items: Avoid purchasing items that are culturally significant to Native American communities, such as religious items or traditional clothing, unless you have a direct connection to that culture.

5. Educate Yourself: Educate yourself on the history and current issues facing Native American communities. This can help you make informed decisions about your purchases and avoid unintentionally contributing to cultural appropriation.

## Section 3: Practical Examples and Real-World Scenarios

Example 1: You come across a store selling "Indian-inspired" jewelry. While the jewelry is beautiful, you decide to do some research on the company before making a purchase. You find out that the company is not owned by any Native Americans and has been criticized in the past for cultural appropriation. You decide to look for a different store to support.

Real-World Scenario: You are attending a festival where Native American artisans are selling their work. You decide to purchase a piece of jewelry directly from the artist. You ask them about the significance of the design and how it relates to their culture. They share their story with you, and you leave feeling grateful for the opportunity to support their work and learn more about their culture.

## Conclusion

By following these guidelines, you can support Native American communities while also being mindful of cultural sensitivities. Remember that the most important thing is to educate yourself and make informed decisions about your purchases. By doing so, you can help promote positive relationships between Native and non-Native communities.

## Glossary

- Cultural appropriation: The adoption or borrowing of elements from one culture by members of another culture, often resulting in negative consequences for the originating culture.
- Native American: A term used to describe Indigenous peoples of the Americas and their descendants.

1. Civil liability facing executive directors for serious conflicts of interest: In a recent case, the SFC successfully sued two executive directors for failing to disclose conflicts of interest in a property transaction. This case serves as a reminder that executive directors have a duty to disclose conflicts and cannot benefit from them.

2. Criminal prosecution facing executives for inflating revenue and profit figures: In another case, the SFC successfully prosecuted two executives for fraudulently inflating revenue and profit figures. This case demonstrates the importance of accurate financial reporting and the severe consequences of misrepresentation.

3. The largest civil penalties imposed on senior executives, including non-directorate staff: The SFC has been imposing significant civil penalties on senior executives who fail to comply with regulatory requirements. These penalties have been imposed on both directorate and non-directorate staff, indicating that the SFC takes non-compliance seriously at all levels of the organization.

4. Inescapable personal liability facing executives for late disclosures under Part XIVA: The SFC has been actively pursuing personal liability against executives who fail to make timely disclosures under Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance. This serves as a reminder that executives must ensure that their organizations make all required disclosures in a timely manner.

Section 3: Consequences of Non-Compliance

Non-compliance with regulatory requirements can result in significant consequences, including:

1. Criminal prosecution: Entities and individuals found guilty of criminal offenses can face imprisonment and significant fines.

2. Civil liability: Entities and individuals found liable for civil offenses can face significant monetary penalties and injunctions.

3. Personal liability: Executives found personally liable for non-compliance can face significant personal consequences, including disqualification from holding office in a regulated entity and personal fines.

Section 4: Conclusion

In conclusion, regulatory compliance is crucial for entities that conduct regulated activities in Hong Kong. Recent developments in regulatory enforcement demonstrate the importance of adhering to legal and regulatory requirements. Failure to do so can result in significant consequences, including criminal prosecution, civil liability, and personal liability for executives. By understanding the key regulatory requirements and the consequences of non-compliance, entities can ensure that they operate in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Title: Understanding Guitar Amplifiers

Introduction:
Guitar amplifiers are essential tools for guitarists. They help to shape the sound produced by the guitar, making it louder and more powerful. In this lesson, we will explore the different types of guitar amplifiers, their components, and how they work.

Types of Guitar Amplifiers:
There are two main types of guitar amplifiers: solid-state and tube. Solid-state amplifiers use transistors to amplify the signal, while tube amplifiers use vacuum tubes. Tube amplifiers are generally considered to produce a warmer, richer sound than solid-state amplifiers. However, solid-state amplifiers are often more reliable and require less maintenance.

Components of a Guitar Amplifier:
A guitar amplifier consists of several components, including the preamp, power amp, speaker, and input jack. The preamp is responsible for amplifying the signal from the guitar pickups. The power amp then amplifies the signal from the preamp, making it loud enough to drive the speaker. The speaker converts the electrical signal into sound waves that we can hear. The input jack allows you to plug your guitar into the amplifier.

How Guitar Amplifiers Work:
When you play a note on your guitar, it produces an electrical signal. This signal is too weak to be heard without amplification, so it goes through the preamp, which amplifies the signal. The amplified signal then goes through the power amp, which further amplifies it. Finally, the signal is sent to the speaker, which produces sound waves that we can hear.

Practical Examples:
Let's say you have a solid-state amplifier with a 100-watt output. When you turn up the volume on your guitar, you are sending a signal to the preamp. The preamp amplifies the signal and sends it to the power amp. The power amp then amplifies the signal again, making it loud enough to drive the speaker. The speaker converts the electrical signal into sound waves that we can hear. Because the amplifier is set to 100 watts, the sound it produces is loud enough to fill a large room.

Conclusion:
In summary, guitar amplifiers are essential tools for guitarists. They help to shape the sound produced by the guitar, making it louder and more powerful. By understanding the different types of amplifiers, their components, and how they work, you can choose the right amplifier for your needs and get the most out of your guitar playing.

Glossary:
- Preamp: A component of a guitar amplifier that amplifies the signal from the guitar pickups.
- Power amp: A component of a guitar amplifier that amplifies the signal from the preamp, making it loud enough to drive the speaker.
- Speaker: A component of a guitar amplifier that converts the electrical signal into sound waves that we can hear.
- Input jack: A component of a guitar amplifier that allows you to plug your guitar into the amplifier.

Self-Debating Discussion:
What are some factors to consider when choosing a guitar amplifier? How do solid-state and tube amplifiers differ in terms of sound quality? Should beginners invest in a high-end amplifier, or is a budget option sufficient for their needs?

Lesson: Introduction to Streaming Services

## Section 1: What are Streaming Services?

Streaming services are online platforms that allow users to watch movies, TV shows, and other forms of digital media over the internet. They provide access to a vast library of content, including original programming, for a monthly fee. Examples of popular streaming services include Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video.

## Section 2: How do Streaming Services Work?

Streaming services work by using a combination of technologies such as video compression, data compression, and data transmission protocols to deliver high-quality digital media to your device. When you click play on a video, the streaming service sends the video data in small packets over the internet to your computer or device. Your device decodes the data and displays the video.

## Section 3: Why use Streaming Services?

There are several reasons why people use streaming services. One reason is convenience. With a streaming service, you can watch your favorite shows and movies anytime, anywhere, without having to worry about scheduling conflicts or missing an episode. Another reason is cost. Streaming services are often less expensive than cable or satellite TV, and they offer more flexibility in terms of pricing plans and content options. Finally, streaming services offer a vast library of content, including original programming that you can't find anywhere else.

## Conclusion:

In conclusion, streaming services are a great way to access a wide range of digital media content at a lower cost than traditional cable or satellite TV. By understanding how they work and why they are useful, you can make the most of your streaming service subscription.

Lesson: The Pythagorean Theorem

Introduction:
The Pythagorean Theorem is a fundamental concept in mathematics that states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. This theorem is named after the ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras, who first discovered it. In this lesson, we will explore the Pythagorean Theorem, its applications, and its importance in various fields.

Section 1: Definition and Proof

Definition: The Pythagorean Theorem states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Mathematically, this can be expressed as: a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a and b are the lengths of the two legs of the triangle, and c is the length of the hypotenuse.

Proof: The proof of the Pythagorean Theorem involves using similar triangles. Suppose that the two legs of a right-angled triangle have lengths a and b, and the hypotenuse has length c. If we draw an altitude from one vertex of the triangle to the opposite side, it will bisect the side and create two new triangles that are similar to the original triangle. By the Pythagorean Theorem, the square of the length of the hypotenuse of each smaller triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the two legs. Therefore, the square of the length of the hypotenuse of the original triangle is equal to twice the sum of the squares of the lengths of the two legs. Since the square of the length of the hypotenuse of each smaller triangle is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse of the original triangle, we can conclude that the square of the length of the hypotenuse of the original triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the two legs.

Section 2: Applications

The Pythagorean Theorem has many applications in various fields, including geometry, physics, engineering, and computer science. Some of these applications are:

1. Geometry: The Pythagorean Theorem is used to determine whether a triangle is a right-angled triangle or not. If the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides, then the triangle is a right-angled triangle.

2. Physics: The Pythagorean Theorem is used in physics to calculate the distance between two points in a right-angled triangle. For example, if we know the lengths of the two legs of a right-angled triangle and the angle between them, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse.

3. Engineering: The Pythagorean Theorem is used in engineering to design and construct structures such as bridges, buildings, and roads. For example, engineers use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the length of beams and other structural elements in a building.

4. Computer Science: The Pythagorean Theorem is used in computer science to calculate the distance between two points in a graph or network. For example, if we know the lengths of the two legs of a right-angled triangle and the angle between them, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse, which represents the shortest path between two points in a graph or network.

Section 3: Practical Examples

Let's consider some practical examples of the Pythagorean Theorem:

Example 1: A farmer wants to build a fence around his rectangular field. The field is in the shape of a rectangle with length 100 meters and width 50 meters. What is the length of the diagonal of the fence?

Solution: Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we can find the length of the diagonal of the fence as follows:

a = 100 meters (length of the rectangle)
b = 50 meters (width of the rectangle)
c = ? (length of the diagonal of the fence)

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(100)^2 + (50)^2 = c^2
10000 + 2500 = c^2
12500 = c^2
c = sqrt(12500)
c = 111.80 meters

Therefore, the length of the diagonal of the fence is approximately 111.80 meters.

Example 2: A runner is participating in a race that has a distance of 10 kilometers. He runs the first 3 kilometers at a constant speed of 5 meters per minute, and then slows down to run the remaining 7 kilometers at a constant speed of 4 meters per minute. How long does it take him to complete the race?

Solution: Let x be the time taken to complete the first 3 kilometers at a constant speed of 5 meters per minute. Then, the total distance covered by the runner during this time is:

a = 3 kilometers (distance covered in the first 3 kilometers)
c = 5 meters per minute (speed during the first 3 kilometers)

a * c = x
3 * 5 = x
15 = x
x = 15 minutes

So, it takes the runner 15 minutes to complete the first 3 kilometers. Now, let's find the time taken to complete the remaining 7 kilometers at a constant speed of 4 meters per minute:

b = 7 kilometers (distance covered in the remaining 7 kilometers)
c = 4 meters per minute (speed during the remaining 7 kilometers)

b * c = (x + 15) minutes
7 * 4 = (15 + 15)
28 = 30

This means that the runner has completed the race in 30 minutes, which is the time taken to complete the entire race.

Conclusion:

The Pythagorean Theorem is a fundamental concept in mathematics that has many applications in various fields. It is used to determine whether a triangle is a right-angled triangle or not, to calculate the distance between two points in a right-angled triangle, to design and construct structures such as bridges and buildings, and to calculate the shortest path between two points in a graph or network. By understanding the Pythagorean Theorem and its applications, we can develop critical thinking skills and apply them to solve real-world problems.

Lesson: Real Estate Investment

Introduction:
Real estate investment is the process of buying, holding, and selling property for profit. It can be a great way to build wealth over time, but it requires careful planning and research to ensure success. In this lesson, we will explore the basics of real estate investment, including how to find properties, evaluate their potential, and manage your investments.

Section 1: Finding Properties

Topic 1: Types of Properties
There are many different types of properties you can invest in, including single-family homes, multi-family homes, condos, townhouses, and commercial buildings. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it's important to know what you're looking for before you start searching.

Topic 2: Researching Neighborhoods
Before you invest in a property, you need to research the neighborhood to make sure it's a good fit for your investment goals. Look at factors like crime rates, property values, and rental demand to get an idea of whether the area is likely to be profitable.

Topic 3: Finding Deals
Once you've identified a promising neighborhood, it's time to start looking for deals. You can look for properties that are being foreclosed on, or that are being sold by motivated sellers who want to move quickly. You can also look for properties that are priced below market value, which can be a great opportunity if you can fix them up and sell them for a profit.

Section 2: Evaluating Potential

Topic 1: Calculating ROI
ROI (return on investment) is a measure of how much money you're likely to make on a property. To calculate ROI, you need to know the purchase price, the estimated repair costs, the estimated rental income, and the estimated resale value. Use these numbers to calculate your potential profit, and compare it to other investment opportunities to see which one is likely to be most profitable.

Topic 2: Analyzing Rental Market
If you're planning to rent out your property, you need to analyze the local rental market to see how much rent you can charge. Look at similar properties in the area to see what they're renting for, and consider factors like the size of the property, the location, and the amenities to get an idea of what your property is worth.

Topic 3: Assessing Repair Costs
Before you buy a property, you need to assess the repair costs to see how much work it needs. Look for signs of damage, such as water stains or peeling paint, and ask the seller about any known issues. If possible, hire a professional inspector to give you a more detailed report on the condition of the property.

Section 3: Managing Your Investments

Topic 1: Tenant Screening
Once you've found a tenant, you need to screen them carefully to make sure they'll be a good fit. Look for red flags like a history of evictions or unpaid rent, and run a credit check to see if they have a history of not paying their bills.

Topic 2: Property Management
Managing your property can be time-consuming, but it's an important part of being a successful landlord. Make sure you're responding to maintenance requests promptly, and keeping track of your expenses so you can stay within your budget.

Topic 3: Selling Your Property
When it's time to sell your property, you need to make sure it's in good shape and priced competitively. Look for ways to increase its value, such as painting or landscaping, and use a real estate agent to help you find a buyer.

Conclusion:
Real estate investment can be a great way to build wealth over time, but it requires careful planning and research. By following the steps outlined in this lesson, you can find promising properties, evaluate their potential, and manage your investments effectively. With patience and perseverance, you can achieve financial success through real estate investment.

35 thoughts on “P & Q: Popovers”

I was going to make these this week, but we have been having close to 100° temps! I have read that you should pre-heat your muffin tin while pre-heating the oven. Though Marion’s recipe in the Fannie Farmer Cookbook states to start with a cold oven! Her recipe/instructions differ from what is in the BWJ recipe.

There’s a really great restaurant on the Upper West Side in New York called Popover that made these delicious ones served with strawberry butter. I only know the slightly sweet version and they’re so fabulous. I like them at brunch.

I used my jumbo muffin pans when baking these. After making these TWICE and enjoying them with an accompaniment of Chicken Ala King (Latin Style), I decided that this recipe is a keeper. On my “to buy list”…Popover pans! Why? The recipe is so, so easy, and so, so good. Must make often.

I have a recipe for gruyere popvers that we love. They turn out less doughy inside than these did. The difference in directions is that the gruyere popover recipe says to 1) put the popover pan/muffin tin in the oven and let it heat as the oven heats (and then spray the cavities just before filling them) and 2) to warm the milk before adding the other ingredients. I’m guessing the additional heat from both sources (pan and milk) created more steam faster. I noticed that these didn’t puff as quickly as the gruyere popover recipe usually does. Anyway, if I make these again, I will make the above two changes to this recipe.

For once I actually made a recipe before Tuesday! I warmed my milk and eggs (mainly because I forgot to pull the eggs out to be room temp) and I think that helped in popping them up. Mine ended up a little too toasty on the bottom even with cutting back on baking time. I had read that using lower fat milk can cause this….anyone else have thoughts on this?

I made these for Sunday breakfast as well using muffin pans. I liked the butter and honey suggestion in the book. I also left the eggs and milk out overnight so both were at room temperature. I really like the blender idea. So easy and even easier to pour into the cups. Mine didn’t really look like the photo in the book, they puffed a little too much I suppose, but they sure did taste good. Not sure why. I also had to cut back the baking time a little so they wouldn’t burn. My oven may just be a little hotter than some.

I’ve never made (or eaten) popovers before, so I followed the instructions to a T. The poor things are overdone; they’re very crispy on the outside and basically hollow. I’ll likely try making them again, since they seen to have a nice flavour and are so easy! I do have an old oven, so it’s probably not very accurate temperature-wise.

they came out great, but next time I’ll do the following:
1) do a better job at buttering the tins…they stuck
2) add a little vanilla to the batter
3) cut the baking time a little bit. they were very crispy for my taste. but nobody complained.

Question to the Popover specialists:
I made them, I found them good but with a strong egg taste.
Today, serching in the web, I’ve found tons of popover recipes and 99% of them use only two eggs (but the same amount of flour /milk like Julia “1 cup of flour and 1 cup of milk”).

My were way too toasty all over! I used my convection oven set to the directed 425 and they were too brown before the first 25 minutes were up? I turned the oven off and let them sit in the oven for the additional 15 minutes thinking they would still be doughy on the inside. The insides were perfectly hollow and the overall product was tasty even though over done. This was my test run and I didn’t bring the eggs or milk to room temp and used nonfat milk. Will try again tonight with room temp whole milk and eggs and turn the convection down to 400. At least they didn’t stick to the pan ;)

I baked mine in a popover pan, mainly because I bought the pan a while ago and had never used it before. I followed the recipe in BWJ, except that I baked them using Alton Brown’s instructions for using a popover pan (400-degree oven for 35 mintues). I didn’t preheat the pans, but I did butter them really well. They were so good!! I think I’m going to make them for dinner again this week.

I made these for breakfast and served them with orange marmalade and boysenberry syrup. We liked them quite a bit! Only baked them for 17 minutes at 425 and 10 at 350. What exactly is the inside supposed to be like? Mine actually did not have bottoms and there was a slightly thicker part inside. The only popovers I’ve ever had are ones I’ve made (this recipe and another about 10 years ago), but we like them quite well as far as we know :) Oh and I used 1 muffin tin for all of the batter. The recipe says to only put batter in every other hole, but I didn’t feel like washing 2 tins. Maybe they would have risen a bit more, but we are happy with how they turned out. I have 2 suggestions: 1) Don’t necessarily bake them as long as the recipe says! and 2) butter the muffin tin really well if you do not use nonstick tins. I used a pastry brush to get the sides greased nicely and probably used half a teaspoon of butter in each spot. Mine ended up sticking the tiniest bit, but could be gently pulled out intact. I once saw someone make popovers and even though he used a ton of butter, they still stuck like crazy, so beware!

I made mine in custard cups which I did not preheat. I buttered and then sprayed the bottoms and they did not stick. They took the exact amount of time that the recipe called for, maybe a bit more in the first part, probably because the custard cups are larger. The batter gave me 8 one-third cup portions. Awesome with butter and jam.

When thoughts become action: an fMRI paradigm to study volitional brain activity in non-communicative brain injured patients.
The assessment of voluntary behavior in non-communicative brain injured patients is often challenging due to the existence of profound motor impairment. In the absence of a full understanding of the neural correlates of consciousness, even a normal activation in response to passive sensory stimulation cannot be considered as proof of the presence of awareness in these patients. In contrast, predicted activation in response to the instruction to perform a mental imagery task would provide evidence of voluntary task-dependent brain activity, and hence of consciousness, in non-communicative patients. However, no data yet exist to indicate which imagery instructions would yield reliable single subject activation. The aim of the present study was to establish such a paradigm in healthy volunteers. Two exploratory experiments evaluated the reproducibility of individual brain activation elicited by four distinct mental imagery tasks. The two most robust mental imagery tasks were found to be spatial navigation and motor imagery. In a third experiment, where these two tasks were directly compared, differentiation of each task from one another and from rest periods was assessed blindly using a priori criteria and was correct for every volunteer. The spatial navigation and motor imagery tasks described here permit the identification of volitional brain activation at the single subject level, without a motor response. Volunteer as well as patient data [Owen, A.M., Coleman, M.R., Boly, M., Davis, M.H., Laureys, S., Pickard J.D., 2006. Detecting awareness in the vegetative state. Science 313, 1402] strongly suggest that this paradigm may provide a method for assessing the presence of volitional brain activity, and thus of consciousness, in non-communicative brain-injured patients.

Mobile vaccination teams are groups of healthcare workers and volunteers who travel to different locations to give vaccine shots to people who may not be able to travel to a traditional vaccination site. These teams are important because they help reach people who may have difficulty getting to a vaccination site, such as those who are homebound or live in rural areas.

## Section 3: How do Mobile Vaccination Teams work?

Mobile vaccination teams work by scheduling appointments with businesses, organizations, and individuals who want to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. These teams are equipped with everything they need to give vaccine shots, including vaccines, needles, and other supplies. When they arrive at a location, they set up a tent or other temporary structure to administer the vaccines.

## Section 4: Why are Mobile Vaccination Teams important?

Mobile vaccination teams are important because they help ensure that everyone who wants to receive the COVID-19 vaccine can get it, regardless of their ability to travel to a traditional vaccination site. By bringing the vaccine directly to people, these teams help reduce barriers to vaccination and make it easier for everyone to stay healthy and safe.

## Section 5: Conclusion

In conclusion, mobile vaccination teams are an important part of the effort to vaccinate all Texans against COVID-19. By bringing the vaccine directly to businesses, organizations, and homebound individuals, these teams help ensure that everyone who wants to receive the vaccine can do so. As we continue to fight the pandemic, it's important that we work together to get vaccinated and follow public health guidelines to keep ourselves and our communities safe.
