![]() I like to blend the soaked cashews and water first and then strain through a nut milk bag. I like to soak mine overnight or about 24 hours but if you are in a hurry 8-12 hours should be fine as long as you are using a high speed blender. How long do you need to soak cashews for cashew milk? I personally only keep it 3 days in the fridge and since homemade cashew milk does not contain any stabilizers natural separation will occur so just shake well before consuming. How to make Cashew MilkĬashew milk is very much like other dairy free milks such as Oat, Almond or Coconut Milks, you simply add you ingredients to a blender (in this case soaked cashews and water) and blend until all broken up, then you strain through a nut milk bag, after that you can either enjoy it or you can add is back to the blender to add your sweetener of choice as well as a flavor option if you choose too. So today we are making Cashew milk! It’s creamy, easily gets frothy when you whisk it and it’s absolutely amazing!!! let’s get right into it. If you try this recipe, let us know! Leave a comment, rate it, and don’t forget to tag a photo #minimalistbaker on Instagram.Another “ Back to Basics” post for ya’ today, I know this might be boring for some of you but the basics are essential! incase you didn’t know my “ Back to Basics” category is where I am adding everything that’s not really a “recipe” but things that are more like a tutorial or how to do/make something. ![]() Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream.It’s the perfect treat to make after a trip to the berry patch or to have in your freezer for warm summer evenings. We hope you LOVE this vegan strawberry ice cream! It’s: And after transferring to a loaf pan, we add swirls of extra strawberry compote for triple the strawberry goodness! Toward the end of churning, we like to add in some extra chopped strawberries for a pop of color and freshness. We tried no-churn versions but found the ice cream maker was key for preventing an icy texture. And since we won’t settle for anything but the best, we like to enhance the creaminess further with xanthan gum (but if you don’t have it, don’t you worry!).Īfter blending and chilling, the ice cream is ready for churning in an ice cream maker. Vanilla extract adds a subtle vanilla flavor, and because of the chemistry magic of freezing alcohol, it also makes our ice cream extra creamy. Next, we blend full-fat coconut milk and cashew butter for a rich, creamy base and sweeten it with a combination of maple syrup and cane sugar for best flavor and texture. ![]() Making the strawberries into a compote concentrates their flavor and reduces the amount of liquid that can cause the ice cream to be icy versus creamy. We used fresh strawberries (versus strawberry flavor or syrup) to maximize both nutrition and flavor. Plus, you make some seriously dreamy ice cream! You’re sweet and juicy, loaded with vitamin C, and also give us fiber, folate, potassium, and more ( source). ![]() ![]() ![]() Click the Convert sample button to see if the resulting quality suits you.

There are several causes of compression fractures. The lower vertebra of the thoracic spine (T11 and T12) and the first vertebra of the lumbar spine (L1) are most prone to these types of fractures, which are therefore termed ‘thoracolumbar fractures’. ![]() These fractures occur most commonly in the thoracic spine (the middle portion of the spine) and upper lumbar (the lower portion of the spine) regions. WHAT ARE COMPRESSION FRACTURES?Ī vertebral compression fracture is where a bone in the spine collapses. Surgery may be recommended if other conditions such as verterbral fracture or disc herniation are present. Indications for surgery include spinal cord compression, prolonged arm pain and/or weakness, and severe persistent headaches. Neck sprains or strains rarely require surgery. Symptoms of arm weakness, numbness, or shooting pains should be investigated further. Whilst most symptoms resolve in one or two months, severe injuries may take several months to heal completely. Aerobic activities, such as walking or swimming, should be started early. MODIFYING ACTIVITIESĮarly return to work is encouraged, usually with modifications in your workplace activities, which can be eased with time and recovery. Other treatment options include massaging the tender area, ultrasound, and physiotherapy. ![]() Heat can help relax cramped muscles, but should not be applied for the first few days. An ice pack may be applied for 15-30 minutes, several times a day for the first two or three days after the injury. Muscle relaxants can be used to help ease muscle spasms. MEDICATIONĪnalgesics and anti-inflammatory medications are often used to reduce pain and swelling. In cases where there is severe disc and/or ligamentous disruption, a hard collar (such as an Aspen Collar) may be prescribed. COLLARSĪ soft cervical collar may be worn for comfort. Like sprains in other parts of the body, neck sprains usually heal gradually, with time and appropriate treatment. These symptoms usually warrant a more extensive investigation. Headaches, especially at the back of the head (‘cervicogenic headaches’) are common.Īrm or hand pain, fatigue, numbness, tingling or weakness may be a result of nerve or spinal cord injury or compression. Muscle spasms and pain between the shoulder blades or over the trapezius muscles (between the shoulders and the neck) may also occur. Pain at the back of the neck is often worse with movement, and frequently peaks one or two days after the injury before improving. The symptoms of whiplash may include neck stiffness or reduced range of movement, neck pain, headaches, and even arm pain. The actual cause of symptoms can be either a stretch or tear of the ligaments or muscles, or even compression of the spinal nerves. The term “whiplash” is best used to describe the way the injury occurred, although some use it as a diagnosis. Although most recover quickly, some develop chronic severe pain that may result in significant disability. It is common to find that these symptoms are worse a day after the injury. The most common form of injury is a rear-end motor vehicle accident, where the head and neck rapidly bend a long way forward before stopping suddenly or even being thrown backwards.Īpproximately 20% of people involved in rear-end motor vehicle accidents experience neck symptoms later. It is caused by a sudden and severe neck movement. Whiplash is a neck injury caused by a strain, sprain, or tear in the soft tissues (muscles and ligaments). ![]() ![]() ![]() You can also explore the machine in first person perspective the wide view from the cockpit will immerse you in the world of really heavy machinery.Īn alternate gameplay mode is Time Attack.

From this early numerical system, Chaldean numerology emerged. The Sumerians who grew this first true civilization (3200-2800 B.C.) developed a soundly functional numerical system. Yet, there is great speculation that he first studied the ‘Mother’ numerology system, the Chaldean one, and then made modifications to build his own.Ĭhaldean numerology was birthed in that part of the world historically identified as ‘the cradle of civilization’, Mesopotamia. Many view him as the ‘father’ of “Western” numerology as we know it today. Pythagoras, in the 6th century BC, believed that there existed a significant and intense esoteric relationship between numbers and the natural world. Ancient cultures, ancient thinkers and ancient teachers found much connection between mathematics, the physical or material world and the spiritual world. Numbers and numerical patterns always seem to hold significance to us. So I thought I would share a study about the origins of numerology.

The doors are typically made of high-gauge steel tested to resist high wind forces and perforation by windborne debris. Safe room walls and roofs can be built using a variety of materials including reinforced concrete, reinforced concrete masonry or combinations of wood frame and steel sheathing or concrete masonry infill. The walls of the safe room are completely separate from the structure of the home, so they will remain standing even if portions of the home around it are destroyed.The walls, roof, and door are designed to resist perforation by windborne missiles.The connections between all parts of the safe room are strong enough to resist failure during high winds.They are adequately anchored to the home’s foundation to resist overturning and uplift.These structures are built to provide “near-absolute protection” for the occupants during extreme windstorms by meeting the following criteria: WHAT IS A SAFE ROOM?Ī safe room is a small, windowless chamber specifically designed and constructed to meet Federal Emergency Management Association guidelines, which are outlined in the publication Taking Shelter from the Storm: Building a Safe Room for Your Home or Small Business (FEMA P-320). Here are a few factors to consider before building a concrete safe room as well as guidelines and resources for safe room construction. But it’s impossible to put a value on a structure that will give you peace of mind and could save your life. When constructed according to approved plans, these windowless, heavily reinforced structures can withstand winds exceeding 250 mph and projectiles traveling at 100 mph or greater, protecting occupants from Mother Nature’s worst wrath.īuilding a concrete safe room is not an inexpensive proposition, especially if you are adding one to an existing home. That’s why more and more people, especially homeowners living in tornado-prone areas, are building concrete safe rooms in new and existing homes. During such extreme conditions, one of the safest places you can be is in a storm shelter, or safe room, constructed of reinforced concrete or concrete block with no windows and a concrete floor or roof system overhead. But in a powerful tornado or hurricane packing winds of more than 250 miles per hour, even well-constructed frame houses can be lifted right off their foundations, and large debris can turn into airborne missiles. And those odds will increase substantially if you a have safe place in your home to ride out the storm.įor people living in wood-frame homes without basements, that “safe” place often ends up being an interior room, such as a closet or bathroom, with no windows. If you’re at home when the warning comes, staying put will give you the best odds of survival. That’s all the time you have on average to seek shelter after a tornado warning is issued. ![]() Superior Walls of East Tennessee in Rock Island, TN.
