 <p>
  신선하고 달콤상큼한 딸기가 너무 좋아요! 오늘 여러분께 딸기를 더 즐기는 데 도움이 될 수 있는 3가지 팁을 소개해 드리려고 합니다.
 </p>
 <h3>
  첫번째!
 </h3>
 <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1tglpI" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1tglpI.jpg"/>
 <p>
  <b>
   꼭지를 반드시 제거하고 나서 먹어야 합니다.
  </b>
  딸기를 씻을 때 언제나 잎과 함께 세척하셨나요? 일반적으로 딸기에 줄기가 달려 있을 때는 주로 줄기를 손에 들고 먹곤 합니다.
 </p>
 <p>
  정말로 윗부분에는 살충제가 많다고 하죠. 따라서 세울 때 신경써서 하는 게 좋습니다.
 </p>
 <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1tglpP" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1tglpP.jpg"/>
 <p>
  <b>
   가장 좋은 방법은 먼저꼭지를 반드시 잘라낸 다음에 세척하는 것입니다.
  </b>
  이렇게 하시면 딸기의 꼭지만 잘라내도 안심하고 섭취할 수 있습니다. 따라서 번거롭더라도 칼로 개별적으로 꼭지를 제거한 다음 딸기를 깨끗하게 씻으세요.
 </p>
</div>
<h3>
 두번째!
</h3>
<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1tglpV" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1tglpV.jpg"/>
<p>
 <b>
  샤워할 때 베이킹 소다를 같이 사용해 보세요.
 </b>
 물을 이용해 세척하는 것보다 베이킹소다를 사용하면 더 효과적으로 청결함을 유지할 수 있습니다. 과정은 두 개의 그릇 중 하나에 딸기를 담고, 거기에 적절량의 베이킹소다 가루를 분산시켜 줍니다.
</p>
<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1tg7HQ" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1tg7HQ.jpg"/>
<p>
 물에 적신 다음 베이킹 소다와 물을 충분히 혼합해주세요. 그후 약 1분 동안 그냥 물에서 보관하세요.
</p>
<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1tg5dQ" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1tg5dQ.jpg"/>
<p>
 이후 깨끗하게 물로 여러 번 헹군 후 드시면, 잔류 농약 걱정 없이 마음 편히 즐길 수 있어 좋답니다.
</p>
<h3>

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1tgiYH" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1tgiYH.jpg"/>
<p>
 <b>
  10분 만에 딸기잼 만들기.
 </b>
 딸기잼이라고 하면 만들기 굉장히 어려울 것 같지만, 10분이면 충분하게 만들 수 있답니다. 그리고 직접 만든 딸기잼은 그 신선함이 정말 어떤 것과도 비교하기 어려워요.
</p>
<p>
 준비해야 할 재료는
 <b>
  딸기에 설탕을 2 대 1의 비율로 넣어 준비합니다.
 </b>
 안녕하세요. 만약 레몬즙을 가지고 계시다면 1에서 2스푼 정도 추가하면 더 맛있게 즐길 수 있습니다.
</p>
<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1tggF1" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1tggF1.jpg"/>
<p>
 딸기를 손가락 하나 길이만큼 잘라서 전자레인지용기에 딸기, 설탕, 그리고 레몬즙을 함께넣습니다. 이제 대부분 완료되었어요. 유념할 사항은 전자레인지 용기가 재료의 약 5배정도 큰 사이즈로 준비해주셔야 한다는 것입니다. 그렇지 않으면 내용물이 넘쳐날 위험이 있기 때문입니다.
</p>
<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1tggF3" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1tggF3.jpg"/>
<p>
 전자레인지의 파워를 700와트로 설정하고 최초 6분 동안 가열하세요. 이 과정에서는 뚜껑을 열지 말아주세요. 그 다음 1분 간 잠시 대기를 한 후, 추가적으로 3~4분간 더 조리를 완료하면 됩니다!
</p>
<p>
 딸기를 조리할 때 뚜껑을 열어두는 이유는 수분이 증발하여 딸기 잼과 비슷하게 진해지고 고체로 변하기 위함입니다. 모든 잼이 준비되면 시원한 장소에서 충분히 식혀주세요. 처음엔 액상 같아 보일 수도 있지만, 디저트가 차차 식으면서 점성이 강화되어 쫀쫀한 질감으로 변화합니다.
</p>
<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1tgiYM" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1tgiYM.jpg"/>
<p>
 그 후 빵과 같이 섞어서 먹으면 실제로 매장에서 구입하는 딸기 잼보다 훨씬 상쾌하고 맛있게 즐길 수 있습니다.
</p>
<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1tggFf" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1tggFf.jpg"/>
<p>
 유리 용기에 넣고 밀봉한 다음 냉장 보관해서 섭취했습니다. 큰 양을 미리 만들기보다 적당량을 만들어서 1~2주 동안 신선하게 즐기는 게 좋아요.

7 Timeless Julia Child French Dishes Every Home Chef Must Try

DIWIDA.NEWS culinary arts, food and drink, food culture, foodies, french food and cuisine

<p>
 Prior to the existence of the Food Network, there was Julia Child. This legendary figure in the culinary arts introduced Americans to the sophistication of French cuisine through her work as an accomplished chef and writer. Her recipes remain enduring classics, bursting with deep, robust flavors—and perhaps surprisingly—they’re more straightforward to prepare than one might imagine. Regardless of whether you're just starting out or have considerable experience under your belt, following Julia Child’s traditional French recipes will never disappoint, particularly when aiming to dazzle dinner guests. Below are seven of her signature dishes that promise to whisk you away to a charming Parisian bistro.
</p>
<h2>
 Julia Child's culinary legacy
</h2>
<p>
 Already celebrated as both a cultural symbol and a familiar figure, Julia Child gained recognition primarily for bringing French culinary techniques to Americans in an accessible way. Her professional ascent began following the publication of her cookbook.
 <i>
  Mastering French Culinary Techniques
 </i>
 In 1961, this development made intricate French recipes accessible to home chefs. Shortly thereafter, she became widely renowned as the show's host.
 <i>
  The French Chef
 </i>
 One of the earliest TV cooking programs, where her welcoming and relatable persona captivated audiences.
</p>
<p>
 Julia Child's impact motivated numerous chefs and food enthusiasts to embrace bolder culinary creations at home. She advised budding home cooks to “master cooking—experiment with fresh recipes, glean insights from your errors, face challenges without fear, and most importantly, enjoy yourself.”
</p>
<h2>
 Tips for mastering Julia Child's recipes in French cuisine

<p>

</p>
<p>
 Cooking French cuisine might appear daunting, yet armed with some basic methods, you can easily replicate Julia Child’s dishes. The key ingredient here is patience, particularly for those preparations that demand lengthy simmering times. Therefore, savor every stage of the process (perhaps even pair it with a glass of wine).
</p>
<p>
 To achieve optimal outcomes, opt for premium components such as freshly picked herbs, matured cheeses, and genuine butter. Employing superior elements guarantees that the taste profiles remain vivid and that your concluding recipe comes across as genuinely traditional. Don’t shy away from incorporating generous amounts of butter—Julia once said, “with plenty of butter, everything turns out delicious.” Butter frequently serves as the foundation in French cuisine for various preparations including sauces, baked goods, and fried dishes, imparting an extra layer of flavor and texture.

This light yet tasty creation blends a smooth béchamel sauce foundation with beaten egg whites and a substantial amount of cheese, often using varieties like Gruyère or Emmental Swiss.

 Is definitely worth trying. This dish is luxurious, sumptuous, and unexpectedly simple to prepare. The term “mousse” originates from French, signifying something foamy, which describes its characteristic airy consistency achieved through beating egg yolks with sugar and whisking egg whites separately. Enjoy it paired with whipped cream, fresh berries, or a caramel custard as Julia suggests for an utterly pampering experience.

6 Clever Tricks to Keep Bananas Fresh and Scrumptious

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/video/AA1sNUiE" data-reference="video"/>
<p>
 We love
 banana bread
 , but not all occasions call for an overly ripe
 banana
 . Sometimes you just want them to stay perfectly ripe an extra few days. A perfect banana is ideal for topping
 oatmeal
 , pairing with
 peanut butter
 for a quick snack, or eating on its own. As bananas ripen, they release ethylene gas, which makes them turn brown. But there are some ways that might potentially slow down the browning of bananas.
</p>
<p>
 Here are some tips to keep your bananas from turning brown before eating.
</p>
<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1sO1NB" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1sO1NB.jpg"/>
<h2 class="body-h2">
 Take Out of the Plastic Bag
</h2>
<p>
 Clusters of bananas are frequently packaged in plastic bags; however, once you arrive at your destination, ensure they're taken out. Keeping them inside the bag can accelerate their ripening process.
</p>
<h2 class="body-h2">
 Store on a banana hanger
</h2>
<p>
 Placing multiple bananas on a designated hanger can prevent them from becoming damaged, potentially slowing down the ripening process.
</p>

<h2 class="body-h2">
 Wrap Plastic Around The Crown
</h2>
<p class="body-text">
 Ethylene gas is released from the stems of bananas, which is where the bunch is held together. Wrap some plastic wrap around the crown to slow the ripening process.
</p>
<h2 class="body-h2">
 Avoid Sunlight And Heat
</h2>
<p>
 Sunlight and warm temperatures will cause bananas to ripen faster. Keep bananas in a cool, dark place.
</p>
<h2 class="body-h2">
 Keep Away From Other Produce
</h2>
<p>
 Bananas are not the sole fruits that emit significant amounts of ethylene during the ripening process.
 Apples
 , pears, potatoes,
 avocados
 Additionally, tomatoes are among the various produces that emit substantial amounts of ethylene gas. It’s best to store bananas separately from these items.
</p>
<h2 class="body-h2">
 After They Have Ripe, Keep Them in the Refrigerator
</h2>
<p>
 According to the instructions, you shouldn't place them in the refrigerator until they have completely ripened.

 However, after they ripen, you can store bananas in the refrigerator to prolong their freshness for about one to two weeks.

<ul class="summary-list">
 <li>
  My dad taught me a credit card is not an extension of your income — it's credit the issuer expects to be repaid.
 </li>
 <li>
  Once I received my first credit card, he advised me to make small, affordable purchases and to avoid carrying a balance whenever possible.
 </li>
 <li>
  He likewise cautioned me against making late payments and advised using my credit card wisely.
 </li>
</ul>
<p>
 After graduating from college, starting my career, and purchasing my first home, I concluded it was the right moment to get my
 first credit card
 Once I possessed the card – along with its substantial credit limit – I imagined using it to complete decorating my new apartment, purchasing plane tickets, or paying for weekend breakfasts.
</p>
<p>
 During an easygoing chat with my father, I brought up the fact that I had acquired a credit card. He didn’t seem too pleased about it. “A credit card? It’s the fastest way into debt! Make sure you use your credit card wisely,” he cautioned me.
</p>
<p>
 The amount of credit card debt hit a record peak.
 over $1 trillion
 According to a report from the New York Federal Reserve, his statement holds true: Americans currently bear the greatest amount of credit card debt in history and are also facing substantial interest charge rates as a result.
</p>
<p>
 Following my discussion with my father about using a credit card wisely, these are three tips I've continued to follow up until now, two decades later:
</p>
<h2>
 1. Begin with small, achievable fees
</h2>
<p>
 Rather than instantly putting that $2,000 dining room table on your credit card, opt for more manageable expenses that you can clear swiftly without sinking yourself deeper into debt. Using a credit card for something unaffordable leaves you with lingering balances that accumulate over time because of accruing interest.
</p>
<p>
 Recognize that a credit card does not increase your earnings. Instead, it provides borrowed funds from the credit card company that they anticipate will be repaid.
</p>
<p>
 When purchasing my new couch, rather than using a credit card and paying for it over several months, I waited until it was discounted (40 percent off during Black Friday) and then bought it with cash.
</p>

 and the

 .
</p>
<h2>
 2. Settle the full amount each month
</h2>
<p>
 The best approach for using a credit card is to clear your balance each month to avoid accumulating debt. Given that many credit cards have interest rates in the double-digits, maintaining a monthly balance can lead to significant additional expenses.
</p>
<p>
 Additionally, whenever you settle the full credit card balance each month, your
 credit utilization ratio
 stays low, which has a positive impact on your credit. If your utilization is over 30% it can have a negative impact on your
 credit score
 .
</p>
<h2>
 3. Never pay late
</h2>
<p>
 Once those credit card bills start coming in every month, there's one thing you must do: pay
 at least
 The smallest payment required by the deadline. My father takes his credit seriously, and so do I.
</p>
<p>
 If you fail to make a timely payment, you might incur both a late fee and additional interest charges on what remains owed. Additionally, such delays can negatively impact your credit score.
</p>
<p>
 Once you establish your online account, you have the option to configure complimentary text or email reminders that will alert you several days prior to your billing deadline. Alternatively, if you're confident with managing your expenses, go a step ahead by enrolling in automatic payments to ensure you never miss a due date.

  Head towards the Gran Parque Natural Topes de Collantes, an expansive area of verdant forests situated 700 meters above sea level in the heart of the Sierra del Escambray mountains. This protected region enjoys a milder climate compared to other areas of the island with an average temperature of 21°C and boasts remarkable biodiversity. It serves as an inviting escape for those who love hiking.

  Make certain to bring a sturdy pair of hiking boots and your swimsuit as well; several paths such as the Sendero Vegas Grandes, which forms a 4-kilometer circuit of moderate challenge level, lead you into thick forests teeming with tree ferns and Cuban pine trees. You can cool off in the streams, cascades, and natural swimming holes scattered throughout your route. For those who dare, undertake the brief yet somewhat strenuous 6-kilometer trek to Salto del Caburní for an invigorating swim beneath a towering 62-meter-high waterfall.

 Hver morgen når du våken opp, er hunden din allerede oppe og vrient på å dra ut i friske lufte, før den blir ferdig med frokosten sin?

 Veit han nøyaktig når du ankommer hjem fra arbeid, og ventar han spennende pådeg for ei tilleggsrundtur? Og ligger han ved siden av deg mens han ventar på måltidsenigheten? Så hvordan veit faktisk hunden din når det er tid for fôr og utflykt?

 Hunde er sensitiv overfor variasjoner i lys, vaner og lukt. Dette samarbeidet av elementer lar dem skje tiden og synkronisere seg med familie sin hverdagsrutiner. «Flere aspekter bidrar til at en hund oppfatter mattid - sense på sult, eiere sine praksiser samt dets naturlige cyklusi», uttalte veterinæren Jason Rabe under et snakk med

 .
</p>
<p>
 Hunde er dessuten ekstremt oppmerksomme på familienes handlinger," fortalte Will Bruner, adferdsforsker fra Lone Tree Veterinary Medical Center i Colorado, USA. "Mine hunder slummer samtidig med at jeg sovner, men like umiddelbart etter som jeg begynner å våkenes, enten pustemønstret mitt skifter eller hvis jeg rører meg noe i senga, vakner de også. De tar imot og følger familieens ledetøy.

 Nylige studier indikerer også at kaninene trolig besitter et biologisk ur som gir dem informasjon om når de skal spise eller gå på tur. Forskerskapen fremhever igjen at en blanding av lys, lukt og rutiner bidrar til å forklares dette fenomenet.

<p>
 Creating passive income is key to achieving financial freedom. This approach provides consistent monetary inflows without needing direct participation, enabling individuals to concentrate on various life pursuits or seize further prospects. Many aim to assemble an investment collection that yields sufficient passive income for ongoing living costs.
</p>
<p>
 Introducing Vanguard exchange-traded funds (ETFs), the creation of an investing icon.
 John Bogle
 These exchange-traded funds provide an impressive mix of extensive diversification and minimal expenses, which makes them perfect tools for building long-term wealth and generating income.

<p>
 Vanguard ETFs stand out in the financial world due to a distinctive combination of attributes. Generally, these funds exhibit lower turnover ratios than those found in actively managed options, which significantly cuts down on investors’ taxable income. The resulting tax benefits coupled with the notable dividend increase rates observed across numerous Vanguard ETFs from their start date highlight the high caliber of assets they hold beneath them.
</p>
<p>
 Furthermore, Vanguard’s strategy for managing passively-focused funds guarantees that these exchange-traded products mirror their respective benchmarks accurately. This process enhances operational efficiency and keeps things straightforward enough for retail investors to understand easily. Consequently, this creates an effective financial tool that merges extensive market coverage with the economical advantages associated with passive investment strategies.
</p>
<p>
 A key strength of Vanguard’s low-cost ETFs lies in their dependability. Due to their well-diversified asset allocations and top-notch investments, these exchange-traded funds have a lower likelihood of halting payouts even when the economy falters. Such steadfastness offers considerable advantages compared to single stocks that might reduce or stop paying dividends during tough periods.
</p>
<p>
 Let’s delve into three Vanguard exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that could offer you a steady stream of lifelong passive income, with each providing a distinct strategy for earning dividends.
</p>
<h2>
 A low-cost core holding
</h2>
<p>
 The
 <strong>
  Vanguard S&P 500 ETF
 </strong>
 <span>
  (NYSEMKT: VOO)
 </span>
 reflects the returns of the benchmark
 <strong>
  S&P 500
 </strong>
 Index comprising 500 of the biggest U.S. firms. This exchange-traded fund boasts an exceptionally low expense ratio of just 0.03%, enabling investors to keep more earnings. Although its 30-day SEC yield stands at 1.23% which may seem relatively small at first glance, the real power of this fund is reflected in its capacity for future expansion.
</p>
<p>
 Since being established in 2010, the fund has seen remarkable success with a compounded yearly increase of 13.4%.
 CAGR
 This impressive statistic highlights the effectiveness of putting money into top-tier, dividend-increasing stocks over an extended period. For instance, had you invested $10,000 when the fund first started, with all dividends being reinvested and without considering taxes, your investment would now be worth approximately $69,250.
</p>
<p>

</p>
<h2>
 Comprehensive U.S. market exposure
</h2>
<p>
 The
 <strong>
  Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund ETF Shares
 </strong>
 <span>
  (NYSEMKT: VTI)
 </span>
 provides investors with extensive access to the complete U.S. equity market, including small-, mid-, and large-capitalization stocks. Similar to its S&P 500 equivalent, it features an impressively low expense ratio of 0.03%, thereby optimizing returns for investors.
</p>
<p>
 Although its 30-day SEC yield of 1.22% is quite similar to that of the S&P 500 ETF, the real strength of this fund becomes evident through its strong long-term track record and broad diversification throughout the complete U.S. market. Ever since it was established in 2001, the fund’s payouts have expanded by approximately 5.05% each year.
</p>
<p>
 This consistent expansion equates to substantial gains over an extended period. An initial investment of $10,000 when the fund started, with dividends being continually reinvested and under the assumption of zero tax implications, has grown to approximately $76,590 as of now.
</p>
<p>
 <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1sEiEZ" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1sEiEZ.jpg"/>
</p>
<p>
 The fund's performance has surpassed the mentioned S&P 500 ETF because of its more extensive history. It offers investors an easy method to gain exposure to the complete U.S. stock market through one single investment vehicle.
</p>
<h2>
 Focus on high-yield stocks
</h2>
<p>
 For those investors who prioritize generating immediate income, the
 <strong>
  Vanguard High-Dividend Yield Index Fund ETF Shares
 </strong>
 <span>
  (NYSEMKT: VYM)
 </span>
 offers an attractive choice. This exchange-traded fund focuses on equities with elevated dividend payouts, leading to a substantial 30-day SEC yield of 2.65%.
</p>
<p>
 Although its expense ratio is somewhat higher at 0.06%, it still stands out as quite minimal when contrasted with those of actively managed funds. The fund excels particularly in producing income and showcasing growth potential.
</p>
<p>
 Since its launch in 2006, this ETF has seen its payouts increase each year by an average of 9.18%. Despite having an earnings growth rate of 10.6%, which is below that of many broad-market ETFs, it makes up for this with a more generous current dividend yield.
</p>
<p>
 To demonstrate its effectiveness, an initial investment of $10,000 since the inception of the fund, including dividend reinvestment and excluding taxes, has expanded to approximately $45,750 currently. This expansion highlights the fund’s capability for generating both revenue and increased asset value over periods of time.
</p>
<p>
 <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1sEsdA" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1sEsdA.jpg"/>
</p>
<h2>
 The strength of hands-off management
</h2>
<p>
 All three ETFs benefit from Vanguard's passive management approach, which closely tracks their respective indexes. This hands-off approach simplifies investing for individuals seeking passive income. The low turnover rates of these ETFs (2.2% for the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF and Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF, 5.7% for the Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF) further enhance their tax efficiency.
</p>
<p>
 These Vanguard ETFs showcase the potential for growing passive income over time. Their broad diversification, ultra-low fees, and passive management approach set them apart in the ETF landscape.

A Dietitian-Recommended Grocery List for Managing Diabetes

<p>
 You know that
 maintaining a healthy diet
 It is vital for everybody; however, regarding type 2 diabetes, it becomes essential for controlling symptoms and avoiding potential complications. Nutritionist and wellness specialist states, "Adequate diet along with consistent exercise and bodyweight regulation can notably decrease the likelihood of acquiring type 2 diabetes and keep your blood glucose levels stable without relying on medications."
 Samantha Cassetty,
 MS, RD, founder of
 Sam’s Plate
 and co-author of
 Sugar Shock
 .
</p>
<p>
 Type 2 diabetes is identified when blood sugar, also referred to as blood glucose, consistently remains higher than the normal level over an extended duration. In this condition, your body either does not produce sufficient amounts of insulin or fails to utilize the hormone effectively to move glucose from the bloodstream into cells where it’s needed for energy production. Consequently, the glucose accumulates in the blood rather than getting absorbed by the cells, resulting in elevated blood sugar levels, which may cause complications if left unchecked over time.

 If not handled correctly. That's why consuming a
 a well-rounded diet that aids in managing blood sugar levels
 It’s crucial. "I consistently advise my patients that everybody ought to eat as though they have Type 2 Diabetes since we could all gain from following such a balanced, nutritious diet," he states.

 <strong>
  a diabetes-friendly grocery list
 </strong>
 puts you in a position to succeed in creating
 well-balanced meals
 With an abundance of natural foods such as fruits, veggies, lean proteins, and whole grains that assist in stabilizing blood glucose levels.
</p>
<p class="body-tip">
 This grocery list for diabetes management serves as a broad guideline. For tailored advice on regulating your eating habits, kindly reach out to your healthcare provider.
</p>
<h2 class="body-h2">
 <strong>
  Tips before shopping
 </strong>
</h2>
<h3>
 Employ the plate method as you plan your meals.
</h3>
<p>
 This provides a useful graphical guideline for establishing appropriate serving sizes suitable for individuals with type 2 diabetes, ensuring they can evenly distribute portions from various nutritious categories within their meals," explains Cassetty. "Your dish ought to consist of half non-starchy vegetables, one-quarter lean proteins, and the last quarter should contain unprocessed carbs. As an example, consider having a morning egg scramble combined with any non-starchy vegetables such as bell peppers or kale, accompanied by a piece of whole-grain bread spread with smashed avocado.
</p>
<h3>
 Gather plenty of diabetes-appropriate groceries.
</h3>
<p>
 <strong>
  L
 </strong>
 Load up with fresh fruits and vegetables, particularly leafy greens, broccoli, and bell peppers, which can help regulate blood sugar, according to Kimberlain. Incorporate fruits, vegetables, and nuts into your diet. Additionally, include complex carbohydrates like whole grains, oats, and sweet potatoes since they offer sustained energy. Also, consume foods rich in heart-friendly fats such as avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil. Furthermore, try to increase your intake of fiber from sources like whole grains, legumes, and non-starchy vegetables whenever possible, as this aids in maintaining stable blood glucose levels and keeps you feeling full for extended periods.
</p>
<h3>
 Restrict ultra-processed foods along with simple carbohydrates that have added sugars, unhealthy fats, or high levels of sodium.
</h3>
<p>
 These items such as white bread and pasta, chips, and boxed sweets lead to spikes in blood glucose levels. "It does not imply that individuals with type 2 diabetes should completely avoid these foods; however, ideally half of your grain intake should come from sources of whole grains," according to Kimberlain.
</p>
<h3>
 Plan healthy snacks!
</h3>
<p>
 Creating a carefully planned grocery list ensures you have healthier choices readily available (preventing an automatic reach for snacks like chips or cookies). Fill your cart with nutrient-packed carbohydrates such as non-starchy vegetables and high-fiber fruits, then pair these with proteins and good fats to help maintain steady blood glucose levels, recommends Cassetty. Some favorite suggestions include carrot sticks with hummus, apple slices topped with nut butter, fresh grapes alongside a few nuts.
</p>
<h3>
 Examine food labels, including the portion size.
</h3>
<p>
 When selecting frozen and canned goods as well as packaged products such as breakfast cereals, opt for those free from added preservatives, and choose low-sodium or no-added-salt varieties, advises Kimberlain. Upon examining the labels, pay attention to the total carbohydrates and fiber content, and be wary of concealed sugars as they may influence your blood glucose levels. "Go for unsauced plain frozen veggies, fruits, and lean protein sources," she further suggests. Additionally, favor high-fiber, low-sugar cereals with fewer than 5 grams per serving. She also emphasizes that paying heed to serving sizes is crucial so you can accurately gauge these nutritional values per portion.

<p>
 Buah merupakan asupan yang gemar dimakan oleh banyak kalangan masyarakat. Dikenal sebagai asupan yang sehat, banyak orang mengonsumsi buah kapan saja dan dalam bentuk apa saja.
</p>
<p>
 Berbagai jenis buah yang dikonsumsi juga beragam. Mulai dari apel, jeruk, melon, pisang dan masih banyak lagi. Buah-buah tersebut biasanya dimakan sebagai pendamping makanan.
</p>
<p>
 Selain makan makanan utama, seseorang bisa makan buah beberapa biji kecil atau potongan buah besar sebagai asupan sehat. Buah juga dikonsumsi sebagai penyegar karena rasanya yang alami dan enak.
</p>
<p>
 Makan buah memang enak dan memiliki banyak manfaat kesehatan. Namun, memakan buah memiliki aturannya sendiri terkait buah apa yang boleh dimakan, seberapa besar porsi dan kapan memakannya.
</p>
<p>
 Ternyata, ada beberapa buah yang tidak boleh dimakan di pagi hari ketika perut sedang kosong. Dikutip dari LinkedIn dan Times of India, berikut ini merupakan 7 buah yang tidak boleh dimakan saat perut kosong:
</p>
<ol>
 <li>
  Pepaya
 </li>
</ol>
<p>
 Pepaya adalah buah pertama yang tidak boleh atau tidak dianjurkan untuk dimakan ketika perut kosong. Banyak orang sering mengonsumsi pepaya karena rasa dan teksturnya yang enak di lidah.
</p>
<p>
 Meski mengandung banyak nutrisi dan vitamin, pepaya tidak boleh dimakan ketika perut kosong karena kandungan enzim papain. Enzim ini nantinya bisa menyakiti perut yang kosong dna membuatnya tidak nyaman bahkan rusak.
</p>
<ol>
 <li>
  Jeruk
 </li>
</ol>
<p>
 Buah selanjutnya yang tidak dianjurkan dimakan ketika perut kosong adalah buah jeruk. Keluarga buah citrus atau asam termasuk jeruk tentunya adalah segolongan buah yang sangat tidak dianjurkan dimakan ketika perut kosong.
</p>
<p>
 Hal ini tentunya karena buah jeruk yang tinggi asam dan bisa menyebabkan asam lambung kumat. Hal ini berbahaya bagi orang biasa, apalagi orang dengan lambung yang sensitif atau memiliki masalah pencernaan.
</p>
<ol>
 <li>
  Mangga
 </li>
</ol>
<p>
 Buah selanjutnya yang juga tidak dianjurkan dimakan ketika perut kosong adalah buah mangga. Bagi sebagian orang, mangga adalah camilan lezat dan segar yang bisa kamu nikmati di pagi hari setelah kamu bangun.
</p>
<p>
 Namun, hal ini tidak diperbolehkan karena mangga punya kandungan yang bisa menyebabkan kembung, gas dan juga konstipasi. Untuk memakan mangga dengan aman, kamu bisa memakannya sebagai sampingan makanan utama sehingga perutmu tidak benar-benar kosong.
</p>
<ol>
 <li>
  Beri
 </li>
</ol>
<p>
 Selain buah-buahan diatas, ada juga keluarga buah beri yang termasuk golongan buah yang tidak boleh dimakan ketika perut kosong. Beberapa butir buah beri seperti bluberi, stroberi dan rasberi pada dasarnya aman jika dimakan di perut kosong.
</p>
<p>
 Namun jika terlalu banyak, buah beri yang tinggi serat bisa menyebabkan masalah pencernaan seperti kembung atau diare. Kamu tentu tidak ingin mengalami hal ini setelah mengonsumsi jumlah besar beri di pagi hari.
</p>
<ol>
 <li>
  Jambu
 </li>
</ol>
<p>
 Buah-buahan selanjutnya yang juga tidak dianjurkan dimakan ketika perut kosong adalah jambu. Sebagaimana yang kamu ketahui, jambu merupakan buah segar yang banyak disukai dalam bentuk buah asli atau dibuat jus.
</p>
<p>
 Kamu tidak dianjurkan memakannya di waktu perut kosong karena kandungan serat tingginya bisa membuat gangguan pencernaan.Ada Kemungkinan kembung atau konstipasi apabila kamu memaksakan makan buah jambu di pagi hari ketika perut sedang kosong.
</p>
<ol>
 <li>
  Pisang
 </li>
</ol>
<p>
 Buah ini mungkin tidak kamu pikir ada dalam daftar buah yang tidak dianjurkan dimakan pada saat perut kosong. Hal ini dikarenakan buah pisang biasa disajikan sebagai sarapan baik itu berbentuk buah langsung, atau dihidangkan di roti panggang.
</p>
<p>
 Pisang memang tidak separah buah lain terkait bahaya dimakan saat perut kosong. Namun, beberapa orang bisa merasakan rasa tidak nyaman, kembung di perut setelah memakannya karena pisang mengandung banyak magnesium dan potasium.
</p>
<ol>
 <li>
  Apel
 </li>
</ol>
<p>
 Terakhir, buah apel. Sebagai salah satu dari buah yang tidak dianjurkan dimakan di pagi hari saat perut kosong, apel sering dihidangkan dan jadi sarapan sederhana ketika orang sedang tidak ingin memasak.
</p>
<p>
 Apel memiliki banyak kandungan serat yang tidak baik dikonsumsi ketika perut kosong. Hal ini bisa menyebabkan sistem pencernaan tidak nyaman dan penuh gas, terutama ketika dimakan bersama kulitnya.
</p>
<p>
 Ketujuh poin diatas merupakan beberapa jenis buah yang tidak boleh atau tidak dianjurkan dimakan saat perut kosong di pagi hari.Kamu tetap bisa mengkonsumsi buah tersebut, namun sebagai camilan di samping makanan utama atau dijadikan bentuk alternatif seperti jus.(jpc)

Frank Lloyd Wright's 6 Most Amazing Masterpieces to Explore Globally

DIWIDA.NEWS architectural design, architecture, art, culture, design

<p>
 Architecture molds spaces to improve life; only a handful of architects have achieved this with the same brilliance as Frank Lloyd Wright. As an innovator in organic design, Wright significantly impacted the 20th century through his relentless pursuit of balance among individuals, structures, and the natural world. Below are six of his creations that have transformed how we perceive residential living.

  This dwelling, characterized by prominent horizontal lines, appears to cradle the skyline. The cantilevered rooftops, resembling safeguarding feathers, project shadows onto the crimsonbrick facades. Inside, Wright composes an ensemble of seamless spatial transitions. Every item of furnishings and every colored glass pane resonates with its environment, reinforcing his concept of genuine American architectural design untainted by European aesthetics.

  Located deep within Pennsylvania’s woodlands, Fallingwater perfectly embodies Frank Lloyd Wright's brilliance. Seemingly part of the very rock upon which it stands, this home appears as though it naturally emerges beside the cascading waterfalls below. With daring cantilevered balconies that challenge conventional perceptions, the dwelling gives off an impression of floating mid-air. Utilizing indigenous stones along with exposed concrete, the architects firmly anchored the edifice into its surroundings; expansive casement windows further dissolve barriers separating interiors from exteriors. Beyond serving merely as living quarters, Fallingwater serves as a tribute to Mother Nature herself—this notion was acknowledged officially when it joined UNESCO’s list of World Heritage Sites back in 2019.

Serving both as a winter home and an architectural academy for Wright, this building stands as a homage to the arid environment. Conceived by Wright as a "utopian refuge" amidst the desert, the complex comprises modest structures crafted to mirror the vastness of their setting. By primarily utilizing indigenous components such as rocks and sands from the surrounding desert, Wright fashioned a creation that appears to organically emerge from its backdrop. It serves as an ever-living tutorial on harmonious coexistence and adaptive resilience within one of nature’s harshest terrains.

</p>
<p>
 <p>
  In Racine, Wisconsin, Wright revolutionized the office environment at the Johnson Wax building. This innovative space, held up by graceful mushroom-like pillars, was turned into a modern-day sanctuary for efficiency and comfort. Sunlight passed through numerous Pyrex tubes, casting a gentle and consistent glow throughout the area. Completing his design in 1944, Wright added an adjoining research tower, resulting in a structure that stands as a prime example of humane corporate architectural planning even today.

  It stands out like an architectural enigma. The rising white spiral, crafted over 16 years, defies the linear high-rises along Fifth Avenue. Within, this spiraling ramp turns the tour into an architectural journey where art and space blend in a dramatic dance. Beyond being merely a museum, the Guggenheim represents a cultural upheaval materialized in stone. Sadly, Wright didn’t witness his magnum opus finished; he passed away mere months prior to its opening, bequeathing an exceptional piece of architecture to posterity.

Vegetable Shortfall Forces Farmers Out, Threatening Public Health

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1kDe73" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1kDe73.jpg"/>
<div>
 <p>
  Do you consume sufficient veggies?
 </p>
 <p>
  According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, you find yourself in the minority if you belong to this group.
 </p>
 <p>
  According to the bureau's National Health Survey, it states
  Only 6.5 percent of Australians are consuming their daily recommendation of five servings per day.
  , with most eating fewer than two serves and ultra-processed foods taking up more of our diets.
 </p>
 <p>
  Dietitian and nutritionist Jemma O'Hanlon is worried that our busy lifestyles are contributing to preventable diseases, mostly due to what we are eating."Many of us are choosing too many unhealthy foods in our daily diets and it's really not the individual's fault," she said.
 </p>
 <p>
  We encounter unhealthful meals everywhere we go, be it at the grocery store, service stations, corner shops, and even within school cafeterias, which often contain many such items.
 </p>
 <blockquote>
  <p>
   Excess weight and obesity, along with heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and numerous types of cancer, are associated with unhealthy eating habits, making this an extremely critical issue.
  </p>
 </blockquote>
 <h4>
  Poor dietary practices impacting farmers
 </h4>
 <p>
  The decline in vegetable consumption has an impact on those involved in growing them as well, particularly since many are already struggling because of poor economic circumstances and various challenges from within their sector.
 </p>
 <p>
  A recent study by peak horticulture industry body AusVeg found that
  more than a third of growers were considering leaving the industry in the next 12 months
  , citing cost increases for fuel, electricity, labour costs and fertiliser, poor retail pricing, and regulatory burdens.
 </p>
 <p>
  Catherine Velisha, a third-generation vegetable grower in Werribee, on the western outskirts of Melbourne, said although the situation was grim, improved vegetable consumption would help her industry.
 </p>
 <p>
  "If consumption doesn't increase, and it's falling, we're all looking at our businesses saying we're growing produce that people don't really want and with costs of inputs going up, where do we sit in this market?" she said.
 </p>
 <blockquote>
  <p>
   "And what's really sad is that we're talking about a food that is a necessity for human health but people are avoiding it and buying things that are really toxic for them."
  </p>
 </blockquote>
 <p>
  Ms Velisha said consumer behaviour had changed.
 </p>
 <p>
  "That's obviously filtered down dramatically to us as producers," she said.
 </p>
 <p>
  "But the biggest issue is our costs of inputs have gone up dramatically, much more than my grandfather used to pay and those costs of the products we are selling haven't moved at the same rate, so that discrepancy is putting a lot of pressure on our businesses."
 </p>
 <h4>
  Staying healthy more affordable
 </h4>
 <p>
  But it's not just farmers' bottom lines being affected by Australia's eating less vegetables — Ms O'Hanlon said the economy was also suffering from the side effects.
 </p>
 <blockquote>
  <p>
   "The total healthcare spend on risk factors that are potentially avoidable is actually $24 billion," she said.
  </p>
 </blockquote>
 <p>
  "This sort of money could actually be invested [by governments] in putting towards programs and campaigns that promote our health and wellbeing."
 </p>
 <p>
  So why aren't we eating enough vegetables?
 </p>
 <p>
  Ms O'Hanlon stated that apart from their hectic lifestyles, people also believe that maintaining a healthy diet comes with a high cost.
 </p>
 <p>
  "The good news is that veggies are not expensive. They are, in fact, very affordable and I think this a bit of a myth and misconception out there," she said.
 </p>
 <blockquote>
  <p>
   "In fact, fresh veggies on average are about 65 cents a serve."
  </p>
 </blockquote>
 <p>
  Multiple studies have found that on average,
  a supermarket shop of foods that meet Australia's dietary guidelines was 7 per cent cheape
  r than what's in the average person's basket.
 </p>
 <h4>
  Healthy diet, healthy economy
 </h4>
 <p>
  Ms O'Hanlon said one of the most affective ways to help the waistline and the wallet, was to embrace whole foods and eat more vegetables.
 </p>
 <p>
  "People are looking for cheaper options to make sure they can live and cover all of their expenses," she said.
 </p>
 <blockquote>
  <p>
   "The healthiest and the most affordable diet is the
   Mediterranean diet
   — it beats the Western diet that a lot of us are eating at the moment.
  </p>
 </blockquote>
 <p>
  "Vegetables are rich in fibre, which nourishes our gut — in essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, which protect us and boost our health and wellbeing."
 </p>
 <p>
  The Mediterranean diet includes eating a variety of fruits, vegetables, wholegrains, legumes, fish and seafood, and minimal processed foods and red meat.
 </p>
 <p>
  Ms Velisha said there were market opportunities with 94 per cent of the population not eating enough vegetables.
 </p>
 <p>
  She mentioned that the niche in the market could be enhanced with increased investment from both the horticulture industry and the government into campaigns advocating for healthier diets.
 </p>
 <blockquote>
  <p>
   "What we require is for individuals to consume just one additional serving, which could transform both our well-being and our sector," Ms Velisha stated.
  </p>
 </blockquote>
 <p>
  What strategies can we use to reignite enthusiasm for vegetables among people? How can we attract them—not only by highlighting health benefits but also by emphasizing pleasure.
 </p>
 <p>
  We’re becoming unwell, and this is due to our inadequate diet, with farmers urging the government to promote behavioral changes.

Conquering the World’s Second Tallest Mountain Without Sherpas

DIWIDA.NEWS climbing, hiking, mountains, science, world

<p>
 What is the tallest mountain on Earth? It turns out that this query is more contentious than one might initially assume.
</p>
<p>
 When measured from the average sea level, Mount Everest, standing at 29,032 feet (8,849 meters) tall and located on the boundary between Tibet and Nepal, is undoubtedly the tallest peak globally.
</p>
<p>
 However, if you measure a mountain from its base to its summit, the 33,500-foot (10,211-meter) Mauna Kea, an extinct shield volcano located on the Big Island of Hawaii, would actually rise highest.
</p>
<p>
 However, another competitor for the title of the tallest mountain emerges: Mount Chimborazo, an extinct stratovolcano located within the Cordillera Occidental range of the Ecuadorian Andes.
</p>
<p>
 Measured from sea level, Chimborazo stands approximately 8,500 feet below Everest which reaches up to 29,029 feet (about 8,848 meters) but interestingly, its summit extends an additional 6,800 feet closer towards space compared to Everest. This makes Chimborazo the spot on Earth nearest to the cosmos when measured from our planet’s core.
</p>
<p>
 "If you picture Earth as a small blue dot floating in space, it represents the single spot where you can stand and be equally distant from every point within that dot," says Derek Van Westrum, a physicist working for NOAA.
 National Geodetic Survey
 the federal organization responsible for mapping and charting
</p>
<p>
 The cause stems from Chimborazo’s position, situated 1.5 degrees south of the equator.
</p>
<p>
 Van Westrum points out that the planet, similar to numerous humans, has a slight bulge around its middle. "The Earth consists of rock and is largely spherical, however, due to its rotation, it expands at the equator," he states.
</p>
<p>
 The centrifugal force generated by the planet’s continuous spin compresses the rock, allowing Chimborazo to be farther from Earth’s center compared to taller mountains above sea level in the Himalayas or even those in the Andes—all situated closer to the poles.
</p>
<p>
 Recently, Ecuador has seized upon this interesting statistic to highlight Chimborazo as a rising tourist attraction. The concept is that, unlike Everest or Aconcagua (which stands tall as the tallest peak in the Andes range), this remarkable mountain is not only geographically accessible but also affordable for typical adventure seekers. These travelers often venture about four hours south from Quito right into its frost-covered slopes.
</p>
<h3>
 Climbing Chimborazo
</h3>
<p>
 Chimborazo ranks as number 39
 <sup>
  th
 </sup>
 the highest mountain in the Andes, when measured from sea level, but for a short period in the 19
 <sup>
  th
 </sup>
 century when it was believed to be Earth's tallest mountain.
</p>
<p>
 The story began with the prominent German geographer and explorer Alexander von Humboldt, who attempted to climb Chimborazo in 1802. He reached approximately 19,300 feet but then descended into the elevated valley which he subsequently named the Avenue of the Volcanoes.
</p>
<p>
 Nevertheless, his extensively read narratives of conquering this towering Andean peak attracted a continuous flow of European adventurers to Ecuador. Notable among these was the British climber Edward Whymper. After achieving famed first ascents on the Matterhorn and Mont Blanc in the Alps in 1880, he made history as the first recorded individual to reach the summit of Chimborazo.
</p>
<p>
 Each year, roughly 500 climbers try to reach the peak, says Santiago Granda, who serves as the Undersecretary of Promotion.
 Ecuador’s Ministry of Tourism
 He mentions that slightly more than half of them reach the summit due to various elements such as elevation, readiness, and severe weather conditions.
</p>
<p>
 The primary hiking period runs from late September through February, during which time the climate becomes more temperate and the mountains are typically covered with a heavy blanket of snow. However, according to Granda, one of the attractions of the Ecuadorian Andes is that it remains an all-year round destination, quite distinctively differentiating itself from most climbing centers around the world.
</p>
<p>
 The country's tallest mountains have fairly mild climates despite being situated within tropical regions, and they experience minimal differences in day length throughout the year. Many summits can be readily reached from major highland urban centers like Quito or Cuenca. For instance, Chimborazo stands roughly midway between these two cities along the Pan-American Highway.
</p>
<p>
 increasingly, individuals are beginning to come here to train and get ready for major challenges at Chimborazo," explains Granda. "Here, you are farther from the Earth's center and nearer to the stars than you'll ever be when standing anywhere else on this planet — and that's a significant attraction.
</p>
<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1rTGEQ" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1rTGEQ.jpg"/>
<p>
 Those who aim to reach the peak of the mountain usually do so within two days, unlike the approximately two months required for climbing Mount Everest. Naturally, climbers also need around one week of acclimation activities beforehand, according to Christian Valencia, CEO of Quito-based company.
 Activexpedition
 which organizes climbing expeditions to the peak.
</p>
<p>
 Valencia suggests starting with less challenging summits like Cayambe, Iliniza Sur, or Cotopaxi for acclimatization purposes. He advises climbing during the day but returning to lower altitudes at night to help your body adjust gradually. Additionally, before tackling Chimborazo, Valencia emphasizes the importance of training with crampons and ice axes since this ascent requires technical skills.
</p>
<h3>
 Merchants of ice and Incan sacrifices
</h3>
<p>
 Similar to other Ecuadorian outfitters, Valencia provides milder adventure tours to Chimborazo.
</p>
<p>
 Treks reaching heights of up to 17,000 feet (5,180 meters) usually come after four days of previous adjustment at the adjacent lodge-to-lodge facilities.
 Quilotoa Loop
 Visitors to Chimborazo can subsequently explore the stonework Whymper Refuge, the reflective Condor Cocha Lagoon, and the tropical glaciers.
 Which serve as indicators of global warming
 .
</p>
<p>
 Many people visit these glaciers specially to encounter Baltazar Ushca, known as the last
 hielero
 (ice merchant) of Chimborazo.
</p>
<p>
 For generations, indigenous Ecuadorian men used to work as ice vendors, delivering glacial chunks to the settlements beneath them until the advent of refrigeration. Today, this octogenarian is the sole individual still transporting these icy blocks downhill to the neighboring city of Riobamba, where they are mixed into a renowned beverage known as the "neck-breaker."

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1rTGEU" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1rTGEU.jpg"/>
<p>
 Other visitors head to Chimborazo for its distinctive high-altitude ecosystem. As Granda points out, "Some Ecuadorians experience snow for the very first time here." Consequently, even those who aren’t aiming for the peak often visit for the lake, now a highly sought-after attraction.

<p>
 An additional attraction is the mountain's history from before Columbus' time.

<p>
 Chimborazo served as the location for sacrificial rituals involving young girls and boys during the time of the Incas. These practices were believed to placate the deities and ensure bountiful crops. Even today, native communities hold great respect for Tayta Chimborazo, also known as "Father Chimborazo," viewing him as a potent force.

How Europe Is Crafting a Piece of the Moon Right Here on Earth

DIWIDA.NEWS europe, science, space exploration, space travel, technology

<p>
 <strong>
  Reaching the moon involves numerous incremental advancements, such as Europe’s recently established LUNA training center. However, more progress is needed. The next crucial milestone will be developing a moon gravity simulator.
 </strong>
</p>
<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1rwM0u" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1rwM0u.jpg"/>
<p>
 If you wanted to create a version of the moon here on Earth, you'd require these three key components:
</p>
a substance similar to regolith (moon dust) in chemical makeup, combined with specialized illumination replicating the sun’s angle, along with a mechanism simulating lunar gravity (which is one-sixth that of Earth's gravitational pull).
<p>
 And a gigantic enclosure to contain everything, akin to a large metallic warehouse.
</p>
<p>
 When the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the European Space Agency (ESA) presented their interpretation of the moon —
 <a href="https://www.dw.com/en/new-luna-facility-will-prepare-astronauts-for-moon-landings/a-70313230">
  the LUNA Analog Facility
 </a>
 — In late September 2024, they had reached two-thirds of the way toward depicting the moon's enigmatic terrain. However, one key component was still absent.
</p>
<p>
 The pitch-black environment was illuminated by a spotlight focused on two astronauts suited up completely—Germany’s Matthias Maurer and France’s Thomas Pesquet.
</p>
<p>
 Maurer and Pesquet traversed the vast hangar, which spanned 700 square meters (about 7,500 square feet) filled with simulated lunar soil derived from the volcanic grounds of Italy’s Mount Etna, the Eifel area in Germany, as well as stones from Norway.
</p>
<p>
 Armed with extendable scoops, a mock-up moon buggy, and accompanied by a robotic canine, the duo simulated an exploration mission across the faux lunar terrain for roughly 100 esteemed guests.
</p>
<p>
 As they walked, the light shone from a precise angle to simulate how the sun would obstruct an astronaut's vision when humans return to the moon, possibly this decade.
</p>
<p>
 However, they walked — not bounced as seen in video clips from

 Accompanied by a film score, Maurer and Peschet showcased the techniques they would use to gather specimens and investigate a lunar crater during an actual mission. This demonstration served as a showpiece for the attending political figures and space agency representatives, who enthusiastically congratulated the astronauts with fist bumps before the television cameras and production teams.
</p>
<p>
 However, it seemed very terrestrial due to the lack of lunar gravitational forces. This is an issue that the engineers haven't managed to resolve yet.
</p>

<p>
 Previously, astronauts have employed parabolic flights along with swimming pools to mimic and get accustomed to the conditions of zero or microgravity.
</p>
<p>
 Parabolic flights utilize modified jet planes to simulate weightlessness by climbing to and diving down from great heights at an angle of 45 degrees.
</p>
<p>
 The astronaut training swim facilities are uniquely outfitted as well, with trainees practicing simulated activities wearing their space suits.
</p>
<p>
 However, none of these solutions would be feasible for the LUNA Analog Facility since it is located on solid ground.
</p>
<p>
 Rather than that, engineers aim to create a "gravity offset system," according to Andrea Emanuele Maria Casini, an aerospace engineer overseeing the LUNA project.
</p>
<p>
 "As if you were suspending the astronauts like marionettes," Casini explained.
</p>
<p>
 Wires will be connected to the outside of the astronauts' space suits, probably exerting tension when they walk and holding them aloft as they leap.
</p>
<p>
 The project remains in the prototype stage. Until it becomes available, Casini concurred: LUNA is an extremely costly sandbox. However, ultimately they will aim to test new technologies and train astronauts within a sealed setting.
</p>
<p>
 Casini stated, 'The magic occurs within.' He added that the landscape would assist the upcoming cohort of astronauts in returning to the moon.
</p>
<p>
 Moreover, there is potential for growth. Adjacent to the LUNA Analog Facility, there are two extra components: a habitat simulator and a converted greenhouse from the EDEN ISS project. This initiative aimed at simulating food production in frigid extraterrestrial conditions.
</p>
<p>
 Next to the main hall, there’s an empty plot of land that could potentially serve as a site for a future "LUNA 2" mission or a Mars simulation area.
</p>
<h3>
 The moon was brought down to Earth
</h3>
<p>
 The LUNA Analog Facility has been under development for 12 years.
 <a href="https://www.dw.com/en/german-astronaut-to-return-to-earth-after-six-month-mission/a-61689721">
  Maurer, having logged 177 days in orbit,
 </a>
 He has been driving this idea since day one. He informed SANTIJAYA that the facility accurately represented the conditions on the moon, despite lacking the gravity offloading system.
</p>
<p>
 “When I descend into the crater within the facility and am completely bathed in sunlight, it blinds me,” Maurer stated. Additionally, since he is inside the crater, the rim casts a shadow over everything ahead, leaving his view shrouded in darkness.
</p>
<p>
 This serves as a stress test for astronauts, subjecting them to challenging and occasionally conflicting circumstances they will face on the lunar surface.
</p>
<p>
 An additional challenge is posed by the moon's regolith. According to Maurer, this represents a significant technological hurdle. It wreaks havoc with all electronic devices, infiltrates mechanical components causing blockages, and even affects spacesuits. However, we have the capability to simulate these conditions for testing purposes right here on Earth.

<h3>
 Links around the globe
</h3>
<p>
 LUNA has the capability to connect with mission control centers around the globe, including facilities such as DLR in Cologne and the German Space Operations Center (GSOC) in Munich, along with NASA’s center in Houston, USA, and even the International Space Station.
</p>
<p>
 This implies that simulations might be conducted from afar, allowing NASA astronauts, for instance, to go through a mission rehearsal in Germany under the guidance of their team based in the United States.
</p>
<p>
 Once operational, the LUNA Analog Facility will serve as a symbol of Europe’s dedication to space exploration, according to Kai-Uwe Schrogl, who serves as a special advisor for political affairs at ESA.
</p>
<p>
 [LUNA] lends credibility," Schrogl stated. "While many discuss venturing to the moon and further into space, having just a handful of rockets or a lander at the conceptual stage isn’t enough. It’s essential to possess such facilities to demonstrate your seriousness.
</p>
<p>
 In addition to supporting NASA's Artemis mission, Europe aims to reach the Moon by the 2030s with its independent efforts. The LUNA Analog Facility represents just one of several smaller initiatives aimed at achieving this objective.

<p>
 The initial few years of retirement frequently present the biggest challenges. However, these years can also establish the foundation for your future decades both economically and mentally. Stephen Kreider Yoder, who has been an established editor at The Wall Street Journal, retired alongside his spouse, Karen Kreider Yoder, towards the end of 2022. In their ongoing Retirement Rookies column, which appears monthly, the 67-year-old duo shares insights into the various matters they encounter as newcomers to retirement life.

<p>
 In July, as we cycled alongside the northern coast of Japan, a reader emailed us with a message that has stayed with us and sparked ongoing discussions.
</p>
<p>
 We logged a lot of miles during the initial two years of our retirement by traveling extensively, but for the past six months, we decided to stay local for the very first time in our lives," shared Colleen, 64, from Washington State. "This period has turned out to be far more delightful than we anticipated.
</p>
<p>
 Colleen’s comments resonated with us since Karen and I had been discussing, during our ride, if it might be appropriate to calm things down upon returning home by the end of summer. "Perhaps it will be time for a fresh start," I mentioned multiple times.
</p>
<p>
 We've been gone for almost half of our time since I stopped working. Neither one of us regrets a single day, be it cycling across America, venturing into Algeria's vast Sahara Desert, or taking the train to visit Dad in Iowa. Our trip to Hokkaido Island in Japan surpassed all expectations as we cycled past quaint fishing towns, ascended winding mountain paths, and traversed fields reminiscent of my youth.
</p>
<p>
 And with every kilometer covered this summer, we found ourselves longing even more to simply be back at home—not just as a respite from our travels.
</p>
<p>
 We’ve returned and remain committed to staying. However, this means acknowledging that I haven’t cracked the code of being retired at home just yet. A major realization post-work has been recognizing how challenging it is for me to leave the sofa and discover activities to occupy the void left by my former career. Starting from scratch feels overwhelming.
</p>
<p>
 For many years, my work dictated a significant part of my daily routine. Unanticipated tasks would constantly bombard me, necessitating innovative choices that frequently led to satisfying results. Looking back, the consistency of this barrage was quite addicting.
</p>
<p>
 Travel can act like a potent drug. No matter whether I'm exploring an uncharted land or driving along the serpentine roads of the Appalachians, each trip inundates me with fresh challenges hourly. On these journeys, the path dictates which choices I have to make.
</p>
<p>
 At home, the responsibility falls on me to seek out chores, which isn’t something I excel at. So, I tinker in the garage, mend items around the house, do some reading, join Karen for rides in the park—and then start poring over maps dreaming about my next adventure as though I require an escape from reality.
</p>
<p>
 I'm envisioning my retirement as a time for fewer journeys, focusing more on establishing roots instead of constantly planning new excursions away. A key part of this shift involves accepting that it's perfectly fine to avoid traditional productivity; I should feel free to spend leisurely hours engrossed in reading, listening to music, or engaging in enjoyable hobbies right here at home.
</p>
<p>
 I've got numerous role models. One acquaintance recently retired and promptly took up an engaging schedule involving gardening, playing pickleball, going bowling, and spending time with their grandchildren. Others have discovered part-time editing jobs that seem to offer both a sense of purpose and a pleasant daily routine.
</p>
<p>
 What I particularly admire about Karen is how she has filled her days since retiring with fulfilling activities both at home and within the community, which significantly benefit others. While she looks forward to traveling, she also enjoys returning to her comfortable post-retirement lifestyle at home.
</p>
<p>
 We've been attempting to welcome more individuals into our home since we have extra free time. Getting used to life at home also involves participating in local activities, as I realize now. As a result, I've started enrolling in additional volunteer opportunities and am thinking about taking on part-time employment—not primarily for the income, but to establish an external routine that gives me something to return to after finishing my shift. An old buddy who has retired works part-time in the bicycle section of a sporting goods store—this option seems quite appealing.
</p>
<p>
 However, I could be hopeless. A few weeks ago, I discreetly placed an order for 12 maps outlining a bicycle trail through the American Northwest. These maps lie beneath my desk as I compose this, whispering enticingly to me.
</p>
<h3>
 Karen
</h3>
<p>
 Back home once more, back home once more, and there’s an abundance of activities for me to explore since my retirement.
</p>
<p>
 Too much, sometimes.
</p>
<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1rvbH6" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1rvbH6.jpg"/>
<p>
 During my initial week back from Japan, I sent emails to friends who lived close enough to walk to. This list eventually expanded to include 20 individuals, excluding any children.
</p>
<p>
 “I’m ready to catch up with everyone,” I posted. “Interested in joining us for a bicycle trip to the seaside?...How about stopping by later today to relax on our front porch during the evening hours?” Right away, one of my buddies extended an invitation to attend a debate-watch session and someone else suggested organizing a community potluck dinner. My new neighbor joined me as we cycled down to the shore to enjoy watching the full moon together. When a friend planned to host a shrimp boil event, they borrowed my large cooking pot.
</p>
<p>
 Unlike Steve, I don’t spend much time struggling to define my new position in life when we’re not on the move.
</p>
<p>
 Staying at home is very soothing for me. I rise with the sun, brew some coffee, and wander about the house solo. I empty the dishwasher and enjoy reading the printed edition of the San Francisco Chronicle. Later, I tackle a couple of crossword puzzles and send the completed ones to my siblings via text.
</p>
<p>
 Everything before sunrise or Steve.
</p>
<p>
 Staying at home brings me great pleasure. I prepare dishes to enjoy with friends. I dry apples and grapes. I craft plum jam and quince butter. I also sew blankets and create patchwork quilts. There’s constantly something substantial underway—digitizing photographs, organizing documents, constructing sock monkeys, holding gatherings for my female support circle, as well as teaching an adult student.
</p>
<p>
 My career previously dictated a significant part of my daily routine, just as it did for Steve. Now, in retirement, I have chosen my own occupation, which essentially functions as my new profession.
</p>
<p>
 The issue I face: I frequently opt for "yes" too readily and commonly find myself constrained by the multitude of activities on my schedule, despite deriving pleasure from most of these tasks.
</p>
<p>
 A possible approach: Jot down every task along with the estimated time needed for each one, making them appear more manageable. Complete the childhood fabric quilt project—20 hours. Organize childhood documents—8 hours. Compile photo albums for my three boys—15 hours prior to Christmas.
</p>
<p>
 So, I committed to a personal agreement: use my mornings for tackling necessary chores such as paperwork, running errands, and completing those pesky tasks I usually put off. Afternoons would be reserved for activities I enjoy, including sewing, reading, cooking, and cycling.
</p>
<p>
 Next come my selected recurring weekly events—the Tuesday morning meditation session via Zoom, followed by the Tuesday evening dinners where we also tie quilts, and thenWednesday mornings spent cycling to collect our community-supported agricultural produce. Once every four weeks, we celebrate Serendipity Day with Steve; this involves pulling an activity from a jar filled with slips of paper.
</p>
<p>
 These scattered activities ensure routine and continuity throughout the week.
</p>
<p>
 Whenever all my tasks start feeling overwhelming, I have a reliable way to recalibrate: traveling. If we're away for over a month, I pause these responsibilities—and return to them with fresh energy.
</p>
<p>
 It will likely take until sometime next spring for me to require the next reset, which would be an ideal period to embark on another cross-country journey. With Steve having admitted to purchasing those Northern Tier bicycle maps, I've begun investigating campsite options along our planned path.
