Have you ever seen those college career center posters that suggest you Find meaning at work!? These posters were making a good point, it was just poorly delivered.

It reasonable to believe this applies to non-physician folks too. Its not a lot. If you struggle to find meaning in your work, begin by defining it for yourself....

For light work and even lighter cleanup, make your fruit compote in the microwave. Fruit compote is, fundamentally, a mixture of fruit and sugar cooked down into a sauce. Ive found that making a microwave compote is most successful with frozen berries. Their cellular structure is already weakened from being frozen, making their juices readily available once thawed. Fresh fruit requires more intervention. I used a combination of frozen strawberries and frozen cherries....

Joseph Samuel was a petty criminal who broke into homes and stole stuff. There is nothing remarkable about his crimes, or about his life. However, the circumstances surrounding his attempted execution is very peculiar and unparalleled in history. Joseph Samuel was convicted of larceny at the age of fourteen in 1795. At that time, Britain maintained a penal settlement at Sydney Cove in the Colony of New South Wales. These early penal settlements relied on the isolation of the colony to keep its inmates in....

One of them was confusion. Furthermore, the recipes for the more cloud-esque of the two seemed uncannily similar to meringue. I have good news and bad news about cloud bread. The bad news is that the cute one is trash worthy. Its really very bad. However, theres a bright side. The cobblestone is inspiringly edible, and there are ways to improve them both. Id like to get a few things out of the way before we overhaul these fluffy foods....

It even inspired discussion among occultists. She remarked, I have seen my death. Two early workers taking X-rays of their hands with utter disregard for their safety. One of the first person to discover this the hard way was Clarence Madison Dally. The crystals would glow in the dark when the X-rays hit them. Daily produced thousands of Crookes tubes and experimented with more than a thousand different compounds. Edison had found his fluorescent lamp, but it had come at a cost....

His conclusion: Its the stupidity, stupid. Against stupidity we are defenseless. It is in essence not an intellectual defect but a human one, he writes. Stupidity, according to Bonhoeffer, is a sociological problem. It would even seem that this is virtually a sociological-psychological law. Were all lonely these days, but that doesnt make us less stupid. Consider this description of the typical stupid person from Bonhoeffer: He is not independent....

If you feed mice less food than they normally eat, they tend to live longer. This mostly consistent finding is the basis for a lot of tech bro biohacks about eating less food. But is it really healthy to under-eat? But now we have new data from a human study. I sayattemptingbecause the average calorie restriction was more like 12% than 25%. The researchers used two different blood tests for DNA methylation, which is supposed to decrease as you age....

There he includes 9 ways to connect with your teenager. We asked him to name one thing a parent could do daily to build connection. His answer: Be playful.

Brining is an excellent way to season poultry. It imparts flavor and can safeguard against moisture loss in a protein thats often at-risk for dryness. Make juicy, well-seasoned chicken, with nothing more than olive juice. No salt, no additional seasonings. Shame on me for ever doubting my precious olive juice. The chicken thighs werent overpowering nor waterlogged, but came out succulent, plump, and subtly salty. I even tasted a hint of jalapeno....

But not all openings live up to the hype. However, this time capsule wasnt going to be an ordinary cache of contemporary items. It was to include an entire car. Miss Belvedere getting buried in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The Plymouth Division of Chrysler and a group of Plymouth car dealers from the Tulsa area donated the car. The vault was advertised as being strong enough to withstand a nuclear attack. Into this vault was lowered the Plymouth Belvedere....

Even kids acting like they invented shit thats been around for thousands of years isnt new. You did it too. So enjoy this selection of new-old news, gramps. Internet drags DiCaprio, but is it warranted? What are Borgs, and why are your kids drinking them? Get your fainting couch ready for this one, parents, lest you crash directly to the floor. According tobreathless media reports, the rage on college campuses this semester is Borg binging....

Instead, Ive made Thai banana faux-ti using phyllo dough, and it was a resounding success. If you like bananas even a little bit, youre going to love this quick four-ingredient dish. The middle section is filled with banana slices. Cutting bananas and drizzling sweetened condensed milk are two things I can take care of. Sadly, these stalls have yet to arrive in my end of Brooklyn. No stretching or rolling necessary....

Of all the meaty, melty, juicy, pressed sandwiches out there, this one is the boss. Roasted pork, ham, Swiss cheese, mustard and pickles; everything about this screams touchdown! To make this typically behemoth sandwich more petite, I employed the helpful services of Kings Hawaiian rolls. Theyre soft, delicately sweet, and come baked together in the perfect slider size. A day or two before you make the sliders, marinate and roast one pound of pork loin....
