Apple insists on calling it a “spatial computer,” but reviewers tend to describe it as something like “a mixed reality headset t...

Well recently here in our little valley we have been having some rain and thunder and even a little hail, but they are forecasting sunny and warmer weather ahead and they are not calling for any bad cold or hard freezing temperatures. Every day we are getting a little closer to Spring. The cats do not like rainy mornings much more than the snowy mornings, when it is raining they get up and eat their breakfast and then they go back to bed. They must be fair weather cats, give them sunshine and they are happy. We are all feeling better, we were...

PRINCIPLE 4 OF GOOD NUTRITION: Fats as 30-80% of calories The amount of fat to eat depends on climate, metabolic needs, individual and seasonal variation. The healthy ratio is 50% saturated fat, 46% monounsaturated fat, and 4% polyunsaturated. Butter, beef and lamb are the closest to this ratio. Animal fats provide the critical fat soluble vitamins, and these are not in coconut oil or vegetable oils. Use butter, ghee, tallow and lard. Meat contains fat, as do full-fat dairy products. Polyunsaturated fats should be only a small part of our...

The Bank of Perry County, however, held on and held strong for the people in their community, and even branched out to provide services and support in surrounding counties, like Lewis. For...
