Don't Let Your Health Go Up in Smoke
The
next time you see oil smoking in the frying pan, take notice and start
over. Heating oils beyond their flash point - the point at which they
oxidize and begin to smoke - gives rise to unpleasant flavors (and
smells). More important, it creates lipid oxidation products (LOPs) -
dangerous byproducts that cause free radical damage to cells.
To eliminate these cellular villains, use culinary oils cold. Drizzle them over fresh organic salads and roasted veggies to add rich, complex flavor and a healthy source of fat.
When you do choose to fry something, do it safely by using coconut oil. It's a heat-stable, naturally saturated oil that is primarily made up of medium-chain triglycerides. Not only is this "energy fat" metabolized and digested more efficiently than other fats, coconut oil is a significant source of lauric acid - an anti-microbial fatty acid that supports (not suppresses) immune function.
Other heat-stable oils to have on hand for cooking include organic grapeseed oil (which starts to smoke at 420 F), organic extra light olive oil (which starts to smoke at 468 F), organic cold-pressed canola oil (which starts to smoke at 464 F), and organic butter (which starts to smoke at 350 F).
And remember, when in doubt... drizzle.

You have the greatest chance of getting big raises, big promotions - and eventually, a six-figure income - if the work you do has a positive impact on your company's bottom line. In general, that means being a salesperson, marketer, product creator, or profit manager. If you are not currently (or haven't been trained to be) in one of those positions, don't despair. You can keep your official job and still make the transition over to the money side.
Here's how to do that: Ask yourself which people in your company make the most money. Identify at least three distinct jobs. Now ask yourself which of those jobs you would most like to do.
It may seem like a stretch at the moment, but it's entirely possible that you could do that job. So, starting today, learn something about it. Find out what it takes in terms of hours and days. Find out what it typically pays and when it pays more and why. Ask about the daily routine, the common problems, the biggest challenges, and the best rewards. Ask. Observe. Read.
Keep it up, day after day, until you start to feel as if you understand the job. When you feel ready, talk to your boss about your plans. Then approach key people in the department you're interested in. Tell them (honestly) that you think their field is something you'd be good at. Say you've been learning about it in your free time and you'd like to volunteer to help them out whenever you can so you can learn even more.
People will be impressed by your willingness to dive in and give them a hand. If your intentions are sincere and your follow-up is diligent, you'll soon enjoy a reputation for being an up-and-comer.

Only you can prevent forest fires. But in the near future, there could be a better way to fight
them. German researchers have designed a dog-sized, insect-shaped
robot that can operate independently to fight forest fires. It's
equipped with water tanks, fireproof armor, fire-dousing chemicals,
GPS, heat sensors, and other high-tech gizmos. The robot's six legs -
it has no wheels - give it stability.
There are no current plans to roll out the design for widespread use. But firefighters and fire experts around the world are investigating ways they can apply this new technology.

"Fustian" (FUS-chun) - a word of uncertain origin - is pompous or pretentious language.
Example (as used by Richard Dooling in Brain Storm): "Don't squander the court's patience puffing your cheeks up on stately bombast and lofty fustian. Speak plainly!"
