Food Safety News

Hi All, 


I just came across a site called Food Safety News.  Link can be found by going here. 

And what exactly is Food Safety News? It is a daily news source for information about food recalls, food-borne illness outbreaks, food science, technology, food policy and more. Readers can use Food Safety News to be in the know about food safety.

There are links for Foodborne Illness Outbreaks, Food Recalls, For Foodies, Food Politics and a Directory (which lists businesses whose products and services contribute to the food supply safety net).  There is also a search box at the top right side of the homepage.  

Enjoy the site and the links - hopefully you won't need to use them!

House Cleaning Tricks

Hi All,

Slow blog day today - as you'll see...but I did come up with an interesting idea for an entry.

Especially since the holiday season is right around the corner and we all (mostly) try to keep a neat/clean house....

From the PennyHoarder comes an article titled 13 Simple House Cleaning Hacks to Save You Time and Money.  Who knew that vinegar and onions and rubbing alcohol were so useful!

From the traditional publication GoodHousekeeping comes this article - 50 Cleaning Tips and Tricks.

And from Listotic comes 55 Must-Read Cleaning Tips & Tricks.

And from WomansDay comes 30 Spring Cleaning Tips - Quick & Easy House Cleaning Ideas.

Finally, click on this link from MarthaStewart.com for an article titled 10 Clever Cleaning Tricks.

Enjoy the links and the article - and here's to keeping a cleaner, neater home in the future!  Cheers.

Gizmo's Freeware

Hi All,

If users want to review and rate the best free software a good site to visit would be Gizmo's Freeware. 

Click on this 'About' link to learn more about Gizmo's Freeware....note that the site is composed of a non-commercial community of users and the site is staffed by volunteers.

The site has links for freeware on a multitude of topics including Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, Online Apps, eBooks and Resources.

For example, when a user chooses the Windows option listed above another page of options appears.  All Windows desktop freeware is listed by category.  Some of the more relevant categories include Audio & Video, Cleanup & Tuning, Disk & File, Games, Photos & Graphics and Security & Privacy.

Another click on the topic that is needed brings the user to another page.  This page has a narrative about the specific freeware in question.  Note that a time stamp is included in the article.  In addition, the author of the article is listed. The site gives users the ability to track particular author's articles - and view them.

The site is much different than PCWorld or Cnet since its focuses completely on freeware.  The other sites deal with news, video, How-To and have software downloads...

Enjoy the links!

Periodic Table of the Elements, in Pictures and Words - NOT BORING

Hi All,

When you think of the Periodic Table of the Elements - if you think of it all that is... - you probably think of this chart.

Well think of that chart no more - unless of course you are in a high school chemistry class - in which case you darn well should think of this chart!!!!

Searching on the web earlier today, I found this Periodic Table of the Elements - only this time it is in Pictures and Words...which makes the whole darn chart much more approachable.  For example, check out Hydrogen (sun and stars) or Boron (sports equipment) or Sulfur (egg yolks)...and so on.

Basically the chart shows you what elements various natural objects and/or man-made object are made out of...talk about interesting. 

For example, did you know that airplanes are made out of aluminum? Or that toothpaste is made out flourine and that batteries are made out of lithium? Its true - check it out on the site!

Enjoy the links!
