When you’re buying this appliance, the first thing you want to ask yourself is what you’ll be slicing.“If you do take the plunge, look for adjustable thickness control, easy cleaning, stainless steel parts, a safety guard to prevent inadvertent finger slicing and a good range of motion,” advises culinary expert Julie Chernoff, Les Dames d’Escoffier member, dining editor for Better magazine and food journalist. How often will you actually use it? Is it worth the time and expense, or can you use a mandolin for smaller jobs instead? There are some things you should consider before you buy, though. And since uncut veggies, meat and cheese cost much less than pre-sliced packages, you’re saving money as well as time. You’ll get slices down to the last sliver of food, each one cut to a uniform thickness and as thin as you need. They can be used to cut onions or tomatoes for a salad, cheese slices for sandwiches, homemade potato chips and more. Depending on the household, meat slicing might not even be the primary use. While the catch-all name is “meat slicer,” these devices are by no means limited to one job. Still, some prefer the control of a manual slicer, where the carriage is moved by hand - especially with tougher meats that might need additional pressure to cut. Just put the food in, turn it on and it slices in seconds. Electric meat slicers make the whole process even easier, thanks to an electric motor that moves the carriage back and forth. In the last few decades, we’ve seen electric slicers come into prevalence for home units as well as commercial use. Needless to say, it’s a vast improvement over the budget alternative of a simple knife, cutting board and elbow grease. You can generally make those slices as thick or thin as you need with the use of a knob on the side that lowers or raises the carriage. A carriage carries the meat (or other food) over the exposed sharp edge, cutting it into slices that drop on the other side. ![]() Essentially, there’s a rotating steel blade with some sort of guard plate covering it. The basic design of the meat slicer hasn’t changed much over the years. There’s just something about having a meat slicer on your counter that says “chef at work.” It’s a staple on any deli counter, but it can be just as much of a time-saver at home - and no, you don’t need to be a chef to use one.

![]() As a result, the researchers hypothesized that chewing on ice causes vascular changes that allow for increased perfusion of the brain, as well as activation of the sympathetic nervous system, which also increases blood flow to the brain, allowing for increased processing speed and alertness. Ī hypothesis of the neurological basis of pagophagia was proposed in a 2014 study in which those with iron deficiency anemia were shown to have improved response times while performing on a neuropsychological test when given ice to chew on. In the long run, as people start consuming more nonfoods compulsively, pica can also cause additional nutritional deficiencies. Later research demonstrated that the substances ingested by those who have pica generally do not provide the mineral or nutrient in which people are deficient. In iron deficient pregnant women who experience symptoms of pagophagia, decreased cravings for ice have been observed after iron supplementation. Similarly, folk wisdom also maintained that pica reflected an appetite to compensate for nutritional deficiencies, such as low iron or zinc. Leading some investigators to postulate that some forms of pica may be the result of nutritional deficiency. However, different studies have included alternative definitions including "daily consumption of 2-11 full glasses of ice (480-2640g)" or "the purposeful ingestion of at least one ordinary tray of ice daily for a period in excess of two months." Pagophagia has been shown to be associated with iron-deficiency anemia and responsive to iron supplementation, Its medical definition refers to the persistent consumption of nonnutritive substances for over a period of at least one month. It is a form of the disorder known as pica, which in Latin refers to a magpie that eats everything indiscriminately. Pagophagia (from Greek: pagos, frost/ice, + phagō, to eat ) is the compulsive consumption of ice or iced drinks.

The Maya jacket is a classic Moncler item. There is the main designer who has been with us since the beginning, and the assistants change from time to time, but each of them is in charge of shoes and accessories. How many people on the Moncler team do you work with? Personally, I’m not that interested in dancing or such performances, but I felt the overwhelming power of the brand’s position in Milan. The event celebrating the 70th anniversary of the company’s founding at Milan Fashion Week was spectacular. I would stay there for about three days for meetings, sample checks, fitting inspections, and so on. Hiroshi Fujiwara: Before Covid, I used to go there like every month. Hypebeast: How often do you visit the Moncler headquarters? How many days do you stay there? “I kept the same outline shape but changed the shoulder structure and the fabric to make it look like a raglan varsity jacket,” Fujiwara, famously a man of few words, told Hypebeast. ![]() For his reinterpretation of the Maya, Fujiwara looked to the world of athletics to give the jacket some varsity-style flair with a slightly altered silhouette, a unique material composition and a large chenille patch on the rear. ![]() The collection was led with Thom Browne and Palm Angels, and is now going with a three-peat by tapping fragment design founder Hiroshi Fujiwara, who’s enjoyed a long history with the brand and become one of Moncler Genius‘ most consistent partners. Now, Moncler is continuing the celebrations with their Maya 70 Collaborations initiative: seven reinterpretations of the classic Maya high-gloss puffer jacket by seven different designers. The outerwear experts celebrated their 70th anniversary earlier this year with a blowout fashion show-slash party in Milan’s Piazza del Duomo that brought together 18,000 people for a stunning celebration of the company and its legacy. From sponsoring the Grenoble Olympics in the ’60s to launching the Genius project and becoming the favored winter jacket provider of rappers and tastemakers in more recent years, Moncler boasts a long and rich history. ![]() Vehicle record printed on the issuing state's Department of Motor Vehicles letterhead verifying the vehicle is titled in that state.Photocopy or fax of your out-of-state title.If your title is being held by an out-of-state lienholder, provide the above documents and one of the following: A lien termination statement or title signed by the institution issuing a loan (if there is a lien against the vehicle).The out-of-state vehicle registration (if the vehicle was registered in another state).Proof of Michigan No-Fault insurance for the vehicle.Your valid driver’s license or state ID.Vehicles purchased and titled out-of-state can be converted to a Michigan title by presenting the following at a Secretary of State office: If the co-owner is not an immediate family relative of the deceased or is not the spouse of the closest next-of-kin who is inheriting the vehicle, the co-owner is liable for 6% sales tax.Ĭertification for the Heir to a Vehicle form If they wish, the next-of-kin may add a co-owner at time of titling.

In February 2017, Penn State sophomore Timothy Piazza, 19, died after drinking large quantities of alcohol in his first night of pledging at Beta Theta Pi fraternity, according to court documents. The issue of Greek hazing has come under particularly intense scrutiny after several pledges died in recent years as a result. A University of Maine study from 2008, the most recent year for which such research is available, found that 73% of students in fraternities and sororities experienced what they called some form of hazing at least once. Schlank’s not the only Greek life initiate who says he’s experienced hazing. Reached for comment, both the fraternity and university expressed zero tolerance for hazing practices. Schlank says he never reported the alleged hazing to Alpha Epsilon Pi or UConn. ![]() While pledging in the spring of 2011, Schlank was shocked by what he claims to have seen and experienced: Heavy drinking, verbal abuse and humiliation. “Here are the supposed leaders of the chapter, swearing in my face and treating me like an animal.” “I remember that one moment where I was like, ‘something isn’t right here,’” Schlank told CNN. I knew about hazing.”īut he says the pitfalls of the initiation process got “really real” for him soon after fraternity brothers began berating him and his fellow pledges. Now he was scared and disoriented, wondering what he had gotten himself into.īefore pledging AEPi, Schlank said he had no misconceptions about what lay ahead: “I knew what Greek life was like. He’d spent one semester as a freshman before deciding to join, hoping to expand his circle of friends. ![]() It was his first night rushing Alpha Epsilon Pi, a Jewish fraternity, at the University of Connecticut. ![]() Music was blasting as the vehicle swerved from side to side, slamming him against its windows.

Our Cape May, New Jersey lodging has been entertaining guests for three decades.

But the favorite recipe in my home is a hand-rolled, fried flatbread called bolani, which can be. Then there’s a downward slope to a lower section with the shutter release and zoom collar in matt black plastic followed by the mode dial on the right corner. Twin stereo mics are positioned in front of the hotshoe and the on/off button with a cool blue LED surround that illuminates in power-saving mode is positioned to the right of it. The pop-up flash is located on the left end, to the right of it, slightly offset but directly above the lens is the hotshoe with the Olympus accessory port at the rear. The XZ-2’s top panel is almost identical to the XZ-1’s aside from the revised profile. But though the S110 may be small and light, it lacks a hotshoe and has quite poor battery life. The PowerShot S110 measures 99 x 60 x 27 and weighs 198g, a totally different class of compactness to the XZ-2 and LX-7 and the only one I even attempted, successfully, to slip into the pocket of my jeans. These protrusions make both models a little trickier to remove from a coat pocket than the Canon PowerShot S110 which looks and feels much more like a ‘proper’ compact. The fixed grip on the LX-7 provides the same sort of secure handling as the removable one on the XZ-2, and where the XZ-2’s flip-out screen protrudes further at the rear, the LX-7’s lens sticks out further at the front. So it’s a little taller, a little thinner and around 15 percent lighter. The LX-7’s dimensions are 111 x 67 x 46 and it weighs 298 grams with the battery and card. Side-by-side with the Lumix LX-7 there’s little to separate them in terms of portability. Round the back there’s a moulded thumb grip made of the same textured soft plastic which makes for secure and comfortable single-handed operation. But if you don’t like the additional (negligible) bulk and weight, or don’t feel the need for it, it’s easily removed. Once attached with the integral plastic screw it looks and feels like part of the camera and provides a more secure and comfortable grip for your fingers. The detachable grip is an excellent idea. The front plate is a little busier with the addition of a detachable handgrip and manual focus lever with a function button at its centre. The top panel is no longer a flat plane, but dips on the right to accommodate the shutter release and mode dial. From the front, the XZ-2 looks more angular, less consumer compact and more enthusiast orientated than the XZ-1. The Olympus Stylus XZ-2 is a little bigger and heavier than its predecessor, measuring 113 x 65 x 48mm and weighing 346 grams including the battery and SD card. Read my full review to find out which offers the best balance of quality, features and performance for the demanding enthusiast photographer. So these three manufacturers are pulling out all the stops to dominate this market. With a large APS-C-sized sensor and no optical low pass filter, the COOLPIX A promises unsurpassed image quality from a compact, and the Lumix LX-7 recently snatched the title of brightest lens on a compact camera from the XZ-2. I’ve compared the XZ-2 against its biggest rival, the Panasonic Lumix LX7, and also against the Nikon COOLPIX A which represents a different proposition. ![]() But since the XZ-1 appeared at the beginning of 2011 things have of course moved on, and there’s now a much wider field to chose from if you’re looking for a fixed lens compact with a big sensor and a bright lens. The new sensor and processor improves the XZ-2’s continuous shooting performance to 5fps and it now boasts 1080p30 full HD video recording.Īll told, the XZ-2 represents a significant evolution on the XZ-1 a model that owed its success and popularity to its combination of excellent low light performance in a compact format and which remains, for now, in the Stylus line-up. The AF system is improved with a 35-area contrast detect system similar to that on the Olympus PEN models and the sensitivity range is extended beyond the XZ-1’s 6400 ISO to a new maximum of 12800 ISO. ![]() The processor is also updated to the latest TruePic V and the XZ-1’s 610k dot OLED screen is updated with a 920k dot LCD touch-screen. Successor to the XZ-1, it sports the same 28-112mm equivalent 4x zoom with a bright f1.8-2.5 maximum aperture, but swaps its predecessor’s 1/1.63in 10 Megapixel CCD sensor with a 1/1.7in CMOS chip with 12 Megapixels. The Olympus XZ-2 is a compact aimed at the demands of enthusiasts. |
