Finding an Emergency Electrician in Jacksonville, FL

finding emergency electrician

Are you in need of an emergency electrician you can count on? Finding an electrician you can trust is essential - especially when you have an emergency. Here are a few qualities to look for when the power has gone out in your home in Jacksonville.

Legally Licensed and Insured

You only want to go with a professional electrician, which means the professional you hire will need to demonstrate that he or she is properly insured for this type of work and is currently licensed to do the job. Don't let the confusion of an emergency electric outage cloud your judgment. Homeowners who are rushed and don't take the time to check into the background of an electrician may wind up hiring someone who is woefully unprepared for the task, leaving you still in the dark.

Quality Experience to the Work You Need

An electrician should have relevant experience in doing work in home. Hiring a master electrician ensures that you will have a highly trained individual with many years of performing electrical work under harsh, demanding and emergency situations.

Credible Reviews and Better Business Bureau Rating

Before you invite an electrician into your home to do work, it's best to check out his or her reputation. Look for reviews from objective and credible sources. When you find an electrician that looks professional, you will want to do some further checking. Doing a search at the Better Business Bureau for a rating and to see what other customers have to say about the work that was done on their property is a good place to start. Looking for reviews on review websites or Google is also important. Negative reviews or any other red flags should prompt you to move onto the next electrician on your list.

Even though time may be of the essence in an emergency, it is still important to do some research before you decide which electrician to choose. If you have the opportunity, you should ask an electrician for references and then contact them to see if they were satisfied with the emergency work that was done.

Quality Work for Reasonable Rates

Unethical electricians may be tempted to charge more than what would be reasonable for the emergency work that you need done. Just because the situation is drastic or needs to be performed after normal working hours, it doesn't mean that you should be charged an arm and a leg. As you compare reviews, look for signs that the electrician you are considering has a track record of charging reasonable rates, even when it is an emergency.

Professional Demeanor and Communicative

Clear communication is essential when you hire a contractor to perform electrical services in your Jacksonville area home. It should be easy to explain the nature of your problem and then understand what the electrician suggests to make repairs. A helpful and friendly attitude is a sign that the electrician is responsive and up to the task. You want to feel comfortable with the technician who has come to your home to solve the electrical emergency and bring the power back online.

The electricity can go out in your home with no notice, which means it is in your best interest to already know ahead of time which electrician you will go with when there is a problem. This is why so many homeowners in the greater Jacksonville area and beyond have come to rely on the experts at David Gray Electrical Services for all their emergency needs.

Protein: How Much Should Dialysis Patients Eat?

Provided by DaVita® Dietitians

Disclaimer: This article is for informational purposes only and is not intended to be a substitute for medical advice or diagnosis from a physician.

An adequate amount of protein is essential when you have chronic kidney disease (CKD) and are on dialysis. But how much protein should you consume? The DaVita dietitians bring you this guide that will help you determine the amount of protein you should have when you’re on a dialysis diet.

The amount of protein you need when you are on dialysis depends on your size, your nutritional status and the type of dialysis treatments you receive. Most people on dialysis need to eat at least 6 to 9 ounces of good-quality protein each day.

Estimating how much protein to eat

Here are some examples of protein foods and how many ounces of protein they provide.

  • Beef steak (4 ounces)
  • Chicken drumstick (2 ounces)
  • Egg (one = 1 ounce)
  • Egg whites (two = 1 ounce)
  • Fish fillet (3 ounces)
  • Half chicken breast (3 ounces)
  • Hamburger patty (3 ounces)
  • Pork chop (3 ounces)
  • Shrimp (18 to 20 medium = 3 ounces)
  • Soy burger (2 to 3 ounces)

Another way to estimate protein is using your hand as a guide. The size of the palm of your hand is approximately 3 ounces. The size of your thumb is about 1 ounce.

Your dietitian will coach you on an eating plan designed to provide enough protein to meet your individual requirements.

OWU professor talks COVID-19 details, cites likely origin

By Gary Budzak - gbudzak@aimmediamidwest.com

An ecologist explained connections between the novel coronavirus, horseshoe bats, a mysterious intermediate host, human behavior, and deforestation in Ohio Wesleyan University’s latest online class on the global pandemic.

“COVID-19 is the infectious disease caused by the novel coronavirus, whose scientific name is SARS-CoV-2 (SARS stands for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome),” said Laurie Anderson Wednesday. A former professor of the year in Ohio, she is plant ecologist and professor of botany-microbiology at Ohio Wesleyan.

“This coronavirus is new, but coronaviruses are a large family of viruses known to cause illness in humans and other animals,” Anderson said, adding the novel coronavirus combines the harmful affects of the SARS and MERS viruses, and is as contagious as the flu, “and that’s what’s causing so many problems for us.”

She said that viruses and bacteria are both germs that cause human illness, and she explained how they differ. Using slides, Anderson showed how a virus can infect, mutate and evolve.

“So far, this virus is changing less than the flu virus or HIV,” she said. “This is good news for vaccines.”

One slide, a map of the world created by Nextstrain, showed “real-time tracking of pathogen evolution” — how different versions of the coronavirus have reached the United States from both China and Europe. In January, a Chinese researcher found that “the genetic code of this coronavirus is 96% identical to that of a coronavirus found in horseshoe bats.” As the reservoir host, the bat does not get sick from the virus.

She said there is a hypothesis that another mammal called the pangolin may be the intermediate host for the virus to mutate in before the virus is transmitted to humans. It is possible the bats, pangolins, and humans came in contact together in a marketplace, but it is unknown.

Anderson said the disturbance and destruction of wildlife habitats makes animals come into contact more with humans, increasing the likelihood of disease. “When animals are stressed and forced to migrate, viral infections may worsen.” She cited case studies for this ecological connection for pandemics that included Ebola in Africa, as well as Lyme disease in the United States. Climate change is another component in what she called a complex web of interaction.

“Deforestation also increases human access to remote areas and wildlife,” Anderson said. However, it is uncertain if this particular coronavirus pandemic was triggered by a specific land-use change, she said.

For years, experts have predicted a global pandemic from a virus in a wild animal, she said. That doesn’t mean we should exterminate bats, which have many benefits such as being pollinators and eating insects. Anderson said pandemic prevention can be achieved on an ecological level by preserving forests and natural habitats, reducing contact with animals, eliminating poaching, and avoiding the purchase of wildlife products at gift shops.

In response to a question, Anderson said humans have transmitted COVID-19 to zoo animals and pets and not the other way around. “At this point, we need to be more cautious of other humans than we do of domestic animals and pets.” In the future, she hoped there would be more testing of plants and animals to stave off potential pandemics.

Anderson’s talk concluded the first week of a free 10-week course open to students and the public alike called “We’re in This Together: An Interdisciplinary Exploration of the Coronavirus Pandemic.” Anderson said the 1,000-plus people who are participating in the course are now part of “OWU’s pandemic response team.” Anderson wants people to “Focus on facts, not fear. Listen, think, act. Not back to normal, back to better.”

She began by saying, “I know this is a ridiculous time really for everyone in the world, and I want to thank you for taking the positive step of embracing your curiosity, your desire to learn about the situation we’re in, and for deciding to be part of this learning community.”

2016 Atlanta MyShadi Bridal Expo: Vendor Profile

Vendor Profile6

2016 Atlanta MyShadi Bridal Expo: Vendor Profile

Congratulations to the Booth Décor competition winner from the 2016 Atlanta My-
Shadi Bridal Expo – Sterling Décor by Kalpana Patel!

A native of Ahmedabad, Gujarat, Kalpana Patel has been “living the American dream” for the past 30 years in Atlanta, Georgia. Patel, owner of Sterling Décor, has always been passionate about creating new designs, playing with colors, and helping people bring their visual design dreams to reality. A full service event and wedding decorator, Sterling Décor has been serving the South Asian community in the Southeast for many years. Patel first began her décor business while working with her husband at their Indian grocery store they own, Bombay Bazar. While working in the gifts, artifacts, and traditional furniture in the store, she quickly realized her knack for creating new designs. She began purchasing new items for these sections, and soon shoppers were interested in renting the items for events. From that point on, Patel and her husband began purchasing even more decor from India, and combined with her passion for design and working with people, a new business was born. With the love and support of her husband, two daughters, and son, Patel has followed her passion and her desire to bring joy to those who seek her services.
2016 Atlanta MyShadi Bridal Expo

In this issue, we chatted with owner Kalpana Patel learn more about her background and the start of Sterling Décor.

  • How does it feel to be the winner of the 2016 Atlanta MyShadi Bridal Expo Booth Decoration Competition?
    Winning is always a good feeling! This award brings us a feeling of satisfaction and achievement, especially since our work is being appreciated and loved by the Desh-Videsh team and attendees of the MyShadi Bridal Expo.

  • What was the inspiration for the theme used to decorate your booth?
    Roses were the inspiration for this mandap. We used rose-themed fabric, Indian pearl jewelry, and fresh roses to create an elegant, classic mandap design, known as our our rosette jewelry mandap. This mandap is made up of pearl white rosette fabric and decorated all around with pearl danglings.

  • What are some of your favorite materials to use?
    We like to incorporate fresh flowers in our décor whether it be on the mandap, reception stage, or welcome Ganesh set up. My second favorite materials to use for draping our linen (lycra) and rosette – these are some of the best materials to work with!

  • What services does your company provide?
    We design décor for any type of event – from graduation and sweet sixteen parties to engagements, arangetram, sangeet, mehndi, and wedding/reception décor. The décor is designed according to client needs, and their vision for their event.

  • How do you and a new client work together to fulfill their vision for the wedding day or big event?
    We try and understand our clients needs by listening to them and understanding their ideas for a dream event. We try to get as detail information as we can for each of the events. What colors they prefer, if there is a specific theme for any of the events – these are important questions to ask. We work with clients as a team, and we ensure that our strive for perfection and hard work make our clients’ vision of the perfect wedding come true.

  • In what regions do you provide your services?

  • What has been your favorite wedding moment that stands out to you and why?
    Our favorite moments always has been when the wedding mandap/reception décor is ready & ready for the bride & groom to view for first time at the venue while they come down for photo shoot. Their reaction when the doors are open to them & that look of happiness & amazing feeling that rushes on their faces. Their comments & thank you notes on our Facebook wall leaves pretty good feeling.

  • What advice do you have for couples planning their wedding?
    Plan your event well in advance, ahead of time, location, and décor/theme.
    Get organizationally focused. Plan to have everything you need to create completed at least a month before the wedding. That’s when all the chaos will hit and you won’t be able to handle the time-sucking crafting projects. Don’t plan to do anything yourself on your wedding day. You’ll be busy getting beautiful. Make sure you’ve assigned everything to your event planner, friends and family who are assisting you. And confirm it again a week ahead and the day before the wedding.

The Intuitive Massage, the Art of Touch.

Outcalls escorts Downey

Hello , I am an Energetician and professional masseuse in Zen wellness. My philosophy being "the art of living well in one's daily life through psycho-corporal relaxation, which is an essential passage to letting go". I welcome you for a relaxing break around a sensual & intoxicating energetic massage. I make it a point of honor to offer my professional services based on respect, listening and kindness. For that I transmit my know-how through my working tools which are my hands, my skills and my experience. - Natural Therapy Massage: (psycho-physical) - Intuitive massage: (letting oneself be carried by the intuition of the Other's body). Being an Energeticist, my favorite field is Energetic Massage. I was inspired by this training to create my own massage technique, always in an enveloping, reassuring, intuitive and soft approach, a personalized massage and always unique to each session. To discover your body and its capacities, progressively, Bringing out sensations that are sometimes buried is a unique adventure. By working on the energy flow of your chakras, this uel sensory massage, bewitching and sensory, is a real awakening of the senses with a soft and reassuring touch. Such a massage brings a true relaxation of the whole body and mind that will last for several hours or even several days. The Energetic Massage allows you to gradually enter into communication with your "inner space" and your "outer space". This massage alternates both soft and tonic movements, followed by sweeping movements to awaken the senses. The energetic massage also allows to untie the muscular knots, aches and pains, muscular tensions due to an intense sport practice. Stressed people will find a relaxation, a well-being, a resourcing... This massage can last 1 hour or 1h30 maximum depending on the needs of the moment. According to your request with or without Lingam massage: (the sacred masculine or male sex) which is done according to the rules of art because the goal is not the liberation even if it can take place, but the rise of pleasure by trying to maintain it is also called "energy levels" more intense, prolonged and intoxicating. ( the term "finishing", which is not on the same level and has no interest, is not part of the practices that I propose to my clients). For that I transmit my knowledge through my working tools which are: my hands, my assets, my experience. The massage session takes place against a backdrop of Zen & soft music for a better relaxation. For your comfort the room is heated in winter and air-conditioned in summer. I use for comfort, a neutral massage oil without any smell. I lavish my massages on a Zen & comfortable massage table, integrated with a "Headrest and Armrest". For reasons of hygiene and professional conscience, the sheet cover of my table as well as the protective cover of the headrest is changed after each treatment or massage so as not to recover energies that do not belong to you, and I then proceed to a purification of the place. All this in a professional setting that inspires relaxation and letting go. * - My massage & care sessions are based on respect, listening and relaxation. * - Of course, I offer and demand impeccable hygiene. * - These massage sessions and treatments are for men and women over 18 years old. Single rate with or without Lingam Massage. - 1h= 100$ / 1h30= 150$. - I receive you at my Downey practice. Appointments & additional information are made in person, it's more humane. ____________________ My reception hours: From 7:00 am to 9:00 pm weekend included depending on my availability. For any appointment or additional information I privilege the human contact. Even if my profile indicates that I am online, I am only very rarely behind my pc... It is therefore easier to contact me directly in person.

Pokemon Sword and Shield will aggressively market Switch Online subscriptions in-game

I noticed you didn't pay for online

Nintendo has always been searching for a way to solve the "getting kids to pay for online" problem in the Pokemon series, and they found their answer with the Pokemon Bank app. For a few "measly" clams (oysters?) a year kids could pony up and store their creatures online, but now they have to submit to a higher authority: Switch Online.

About that, a new message has appeared at the very bottom of the new Pokemon Sword & Shield site that has people buzzing: "Nintendo Switch Online membership (sold separately) and Nintendo Account required for some online features. This game includes an in-game purchase option for users who do not have a membership. Not available in all countries. Internet access required for online features." Just in case you don't have a sub yet, expect that orange sign to hit you in the face reminding you that you really should pay to play online.

Some are speculating that this option actually isn't Switch Online, and allows for a "workaround" subscription for just Pokemon. Not only is that highly unlikely, but there's already an advertisement shortcut for Switch Online in Tetris 99, so there's precedent. We've reached out to Nintendo for clarification.

• Organization TypeAdvocacy NGO

ElephantVoices's goals are to advance the study of elephant cognition, communication and social behavior, and to promote the scientifically sound and ethical management and care of elephants. They accomplish these through research, conservation, advocacy and the sharing of knowledge. ElephantVoices uses knowledge acquired over decades to act as a voice for elephants. In the wild, ivory poaching, destruction of habitat, competition with people for diminishing resources, sport hunting, culling and capture, all threaten the freedom and survival of elephants. In captivity, their well-being is affected by abusive practices and exploitation for commercial gain. Through Conservation, Advocacy, Research and Education, CARE, we promote the protection and kinder treatment of elephants wherever they may be. As acknowledged experts on the natural behavior of elephants they offer insight to protect them and the authority to speak on their behalf. ElephantVoices' standpoint is that elephants need protection as a species and as individuals. After more than 40 years of study they know that among elephants, just as among people, wisdom comes with age. An elephant's proverbial memory and life experience means that older matriarchs are more discriminating than younger matriarchs; the loss of a matriarch can affect the future of an entire family; the death of a mother means the death of her young calves and the lowered survival of older offspring; the lack of role models or exposure to severe trauma when young can result in abnormal behavior in adulthood; the deaths of older females or large males with big tusks to a poacher's or hunter's bullet impacts the fabric of a society and the survival of a population.

We offer several business consulting services to fit your exclusive company.

And I’ll say, Well, tell me what have you done?” I’ll say, well I not at a chance to bring myself.” Why in the will would I want to just because you can utter uh superficially a bunch of ideological basis, USP, marketing strategy, metrics. Let’s say I choose plumbers as the industry I’m going to help, and then I look at the needs and desires of plumbers, and I research their niche, and I find out they need help getting clients — specifically, hot water cylinder repair clients.

Whatever your consulting field is you should have more than enough information to produce a newsletter as a means of attracting potential clients. We’re the small business consultants of choice that can advise you during this critical decision-making time.

When small businesses are first starting out, one of the many difficulties they face in the early years is being able to resource skilled members of staff at particular times during the year. Being an expert Internet marketer will be an advantage for offline business consultants but almost anyone with a drive to learn and some business skills can engage in offline business consulting as well.

text: Maybe this may be a no brainer.  When meeting for the first time or the third time for your discreet encounter being clean is important!  Especially from a woman’s  point of view. Being  clean and smelling great is a huge turn on.  Nobody wants a lover who stinks literally or in bed. Taking care of your body and your body odor shows you have confidence and self esteem and know how and what to get what your want.  A little cologne or perfume goes a long way. Don’t over do it!  You don’t want your partner to smell like another women or man when they return home.  Also some people are really sensitive when it comes to smells it can be either a big turn on or turn off.  This goes not only for your body but dental hygiene as well,  having bad breath is a turn off!  I don’t care who you are nobody wants to kiss someone whose mouth smells like an ash tray or trash can.  Take a little extra time with yourself not only will your lover be impressed but you might just impress yourself.

Scott raised nearly £1,000 after his blood stem cell donation!

26 September 2018

Congratulations to DKMS donor turned fundraiser, Scott Wallace, who completed the Belfast Half Marathon last Saturday and raised nearly £1000 just nine months after donating some of his blood stem cells. Scott shares his story below.

“One day in December 2017, I kept getting calls from a London number whilst I was in meetings and couldn't answer.

Call number 7 caught me with enough spare seconds to answer the call and be utterly blown away by what the person on the other end of the phone was telling me - somewhere in the world, a stranger required a bone marrow transplant as part of their cancer treatment to save their life, and I was their initial match.

I had joined the register via DKMS about 5 years ago at a local sign-up event and honestly hadn't given it a second thought since then.  Now my world was spinning around, my family & friends were amazed, naysayers screwed their face up and asked why you would put yourself through the operation, and I didn't know what to think.

Immediate blood tests confirmed me as an ideal match and just before Christmas I had to fly to London for a series of medical tests to confirm I was fit and healthy to donate - I was poked, prodded, probed, weighed and x-rayed over the course of a rushed afternoon due to flight delays - and I passed.

So after a quiet Christmas at home I was back in London just after the New Year for the procedure. A general anesthetic later, 1.5 litres of prime marrow was being taken from my hips and whisked across the world to be immediately given to the recipient.

Last Saturday, just over 9 months after all that, I ran the Belfast City Half Marathon in aid of DKMS. I’ve raised nearly £1000 thus far and I won’t be stopping here! DKMS did a fabulous job, supporting me through everything. They enabled me to save the life of someone else and I wanted to return the favor.”

Thank you Scott, for being a lifesaver in more ways than one.

Student Ambassador Emma Goes The Extra Mile

12 January 2018

In the UK, every 20 minutes someone is diagnosed with a blood cancer. With this in mind, it is not uncommon to know someone directly impacted with a blood cancer. This was the case with Emma Lund, whose second cousin Maisie Bulmer was diagnosed with lymphoma in 2014.

Determined to help

Emma, 26, from North Yorkshire, was determined to help Maisie so originally tried to donate blood but because she was anaemic was advised not to.

Feeling hopeless she was determined to see what other ways she could help people with blood cancers. After discovering us she went on to register as a potential lifesaver.

A donor event drive was held at her university (University of Nottingham) in May 2016 and the PhD researcher knew she had to attend. Following a meeting with Patrick Ryan, DKMS Project Manager, Emma applied for and was offered the role of Student Ambassador.

Emma and her Team have swabbed an incredible 461 potential lifesavers and helped the University of Nottingham achieve the DKMS record for the most people swabbed at a UK university!

Last year Emma's outstanding achievements were recognised by her university when she won the Nottingham Student's Union Inspirational Student Award 2017.

Going the extra mile

Emma’s impressive registration efforts have been coupled with excellent fundraising initiatives over the past 16 months.

Unfortunately, in April 2017, while cycling to work, a car knocked Emma off her bicycle – leaving her unable to walk for two months. However, throughout her time in hospital she was determined to make a swift recovery in order to represent DKMS at TrekFest.

While on holiday in France, and just two days after coming off crutches (still with visible bandages and scars), Emma was walking in Pompertuzat to help prepare for her 25km TrekFest walk – described as a life-changing experience that will uncover strengths you never knew you had in one UK's most rugged national parks.

Despite a slight pain in her ankle, in the first week of September 2017, Emma completed her 25km TrekFest walk in just over five hours. Emma also took part in #LetsNailBloodCancer activity.

How you can help

Anticipating a busy 2018, Emma said: “If you’re finding it difficult sticking to your own New Year’s resolutions, why not make it about charity this year? Whether it’s hosting a #LetsNailBloodCancer pamper party, raising awareness or fundraising, thinking of others is highly rewarding; it has helped keep me motivated to achieve my goals as DKMS Student Ambassador.”

If you are aged between 17 and 55 years old and in good general health register for your home swab kit

Besides the name, your logo is the single most important element to get before starting your company. You should have your brand identity finalized before you even open the doors. Unfortunately, logo projects often seem very insignificant to new business owners. This is usually represented by the budget that many owners put aside for this portion of their business. Nothing makes an impression and strengthens your brand like vibrant, creative, and memorable visual design. It differentiates you from your competition and will become recognized by your community.

One of our most recent clients, The Sweetest Things, LLC (Gainesville, FL) contacted us the same day they registered their business name with the Florida Division of Corporations. We worked closely with them on developing this logo and proposed a few mockups before bringing clients’ specific ideas to life. The last logo is the final logo design.

By the way, if you seek professional, legal assistance with registering and establishing your Gainesville, Florida business we strongly recommend a Gainesville local business law office, The Law Office of Knellinger, Jacobson & Associates.

Showing and Hiding Regions on Your Page Based on User Roles

In this tutorial we will show you how to show and hide regions on your page based on the logged user role.

Step by Step

In our previous tutorials we've explained to you how you can create a complete log-in system with user data, filtered by the logged user identity.

 We are currently working on one of the protected pages which every logged user has access to. We want to show a section of this site only when an admin is logged in. Note that you can also show or hide regions, based on other properties like: email, ID, name, etc. The role is just an example. We store user roles in our users table. Click on your page (1). Add a new component (2). Under data, select conditional region (3-4).

Click the conditional region component in the app connect tree (1). Click the dynamic data picker for the condition (2). Expand your server action, containing the filtered users data query. Here, we select role (3). Setup the condition by adding equals to admin (4). Note, the value must be wrapped in single quotes. Click select when you're done (5).

Add the content which should be visible by admins inside the conditional region. It will be only rendered when an admin is logged in.

And we're done! Let's preview the results.

We first log in using a simple user account. We're redirected to the protected page but the region is not being rendered.

If we log out and use an admin account to log in, then you can see the special region which is now rendered on the page.

From The Manufacturer

Dry fruit, vegetables, and jerky in hours instead of days. The unit's patented Converga-Flow drying system forces air down the exterior pressurized chamber, then horizontally across each individual tray, converging in the center, for fast, even, and nutritious drying. Flavors don't mix, and there's no need to rotate the trays. It's top-mounted fan eliminates the worry of liquids dripping into the heater chamber, and an opaque Vita-Save exterior helps block harmful lights in order to retain more of the food's nutrients and vitamins during the drying process. The unit's adjustable thermostat ranged from 95 degrees to 160 degrees F, providing the flexibility needed to ensure excellent results. It's a 600 watts unit. Five trays come included, but the unit can be expanded to 12 trays (additional trays sold separately) for drying larger quantities at one time. Accessories include two fruit roll sheets, perfect for drying semi-liquids like soups, sauces, and fruit rolls; two Clean-A-Screen flexible screens, which allow for easy drying of small items such as herbs, spices and potpourri; and three original jerky spice packets for making jerky. A 52-page recipe and instruction book also comes included. With a speckled gray design, the food dehydrator measures approximately 13-inch by 13-inch by 10-inch. FD-75A is Frustration free packaging and FD-75PR is retail packaging. Trays/base can be washed on the top rack of your dishwasher if you remove them before the drying cycle. CAUTION- Remove trays/base before the beginning of drying cycle of your dishwasher.

An Overview On Food Dehydrators

This is the age of the hyper-specific kitchen appliance. We’ve all seen those Pinterest and Instagram posts showing us some delicious-looking dish that anyone could make if only they had the right air fryer, Instant Pot or cake mold. Truth be told, most of these gadgets don’t exclusively make any certain kind of food — they just make it easier.

One big exception is the food dehydrator. Dried fruits, beef jerky and homemade yogurt are all tasty, and they’re just a few of the snacks and staples that you can only make effectively with a proper dehydrator.

That’s because of the way most foods dehydrate. You can dehydrate many foods simply by exposing them to a lot of air at low heat over a long period of time, but the key phrase here is “low heat.” Convection ovens might work by circulating air throughout the central chamber, but their lowest temperature is still too high. Temperatures over 150 F will seal moisture into your foods, which is the opposite of dehydration.

Food dehydrators do the job properly in one of two basic ways. Vertical flow dehydrators have a fan that pushes air through a heating element that’s usually at the bottom of the gadget, but sometimes at the top. It circulates through the central chamber, where there are trays of food stacked one on top of the other. This type of dehydrator tends to be a bit more affordable, and thanks to the vertical design, it’s usually more compact. That’s helpful if countertop space is at a premium. On the other hand, the heat will always be higher at the end closest to the heating unit, though a powerful fan can mitigate those hot spots a bit. But if you’re drying foods over a long period of time, you may need to shuffle trays during the process to ensure even dehydration.

Then there are box frame dehydrators, which operate with a horizontal flow. A fan at the back of the unit pushes air out through the chamber, more or less evenly. That’s much more effective for uniform heating, and it can be done with less energy overall. In return, you can expect a higher average price point for this type of dehydrator, and a somewhat bigger profile.

With most cooking devices, you might judge the effectiveness by power output, which you can find by checking the wattage. Just remember that food dehydrators work at low temperatures, so power isn’t as big of an issue as efficiency. That said, your device will still need plenty of power to keep the temperature consistent. Look for something that has at least 300-400 watts, and maybe more if it’s a larger unit.

No matter what type of dehydrator you use, there’s no getting around the fact that dehydration takes time. Exposing your food to hot air for an extended duration ensures that the only thing that leaves your fruits, veggies and meat is water — not flavor or vitamins. That means that your dehydrator will be running for hours, and that means the fan will be running for hours. If you’re spending a lot of time near the kitchen while that happens, make sure you invest in quieter model. Powerful dehydrators aren’t always the loudest, but they can be if the unit isn’t well-designed.

DWYM Fun Fact

The first mechanized food dehydrator was invented in France during the 1800s, but the process has been around for a long time before that. Historians believe it didn’t take long for ancient Egyptians to notice that fruit left out in the hot sun was still edible for days, and that they were deliberately using the desert heat to preserve their food as early as 12,000 B.C.

The Food Dehydrator Buying Guide

What can you dry in a food dehydrator? A better question is what can’t you dry. Dehydration simply removes the moisture from foods, making them much easier to preserve and, in some cases, bringing out an extra dose of flavor. Fruits and veggies are the most common. (Yes, you can make sun-dried tomatoes without drying them in the sun.) Beef or turkey jerky is also an option, and you can even dry most types of nuts for easy storage.

Expect the process to take awhile — from 6-10 hours for most vegetables, and a few hours longer for fruits. Once your food is done, be sure to store it in airtight containers like mason jars or sealed bags. You’ll keep the flavor locked in and ensure the longest possible storage time.

Cannes Failed Women In 2017, Jury Member Jessica Chastain Says

June 29, 2017

Originally published by Dory Jackson on International Business Times

Gender inequality is a common occurrence within the film world in all facets. Unfortunately, when it comes to the inaccurate depiction of women in film, the 70th annual edition of the Cannes Film Festival this May was no exception to this. In fact, it was "disturbing," according to actress Jessica Chastain.

The "Martian" actress, who served on the jury at Cannes, took the opportunity to voice her opinion on the lackluster depiction of women this year during a Sunday press conference. Overall, what she came across was "quite disturbing."

"This is the first time I've watched 20 films in 10 days and I love movies," she said. "The one thing I really took away from this experience is how the world views women, from the female characters that I saw represented."

While Chastain believes that some films' representations of female characters get a pass, she was still "surprised by the representations" of women in a number of films.

"I do hope that when we include more female storytellers, we will have more of the women I recognize in my day-to-day life — ones that are proactive, have their own agency, don't just react to the men around them," she explained. "They have their own point of view.”

Shortly after the actress shared her thoughts on the controversial matter, her comments went viral. Chastain quickly generated praise from her fellow peers within the industry, including "Selma" filmmaker Ava DuVernay.

While Chastain's words were highly noted, she wasn't the only female to speak out on the depiction of women.

Maren Ade, director of "Toni Erdmann", also recognized the issue at hand. She believes that "we are missing a lot of stories they can tell, not just about female characters, but their views on men."

Chinese actress and festival juror Fan Bingbing also inserted, "we want to encourage female filmmakers present more female characters."

Although women received a huge loss in the depiction department at Cannes, they still managed to win in other areas.

This year's festival included an increase in female-led projects. Julianne Moore ("Wonderstruck"), Isabelle Huppert ("Happy End"), and Elle Fanning ("The Beguiled" and "How to Talk to Girls at Parties") were among the pack of actresses dominating the festival. As a bonus, a fair amount of female led projects secured distribution deals, including Juliette Binoche's "Let the Sunshine In.”

Sofia Coppola, who premiered her highly-anticipated film "The Beguiled" at Cannes, walked away with the best director award. Coppola is the second female director to accomplish this task in 71 years. Despite this major win for women filmmakers, Cannes still needs to increase their selection of female filmmakers for the 2018 edition. In doing so, they can take a page from Tribeca Film Festival since a third of the directors selected for this year’s event were female.

Hopefully, Chastain’s thought-provoking words will serve as a wake up call for Cannes as they enter their selection process next year.
