Guardian: Full-fat milk, semi-skimmed or skimmed: which is healthiest?
Sanders says full-fat milk makes better frothy coffee than skimmed milk â which is why it is used in many coffee shops.
âFull-fat milk also makes a better curd when making homemade yoghurtâ he says.
Globe: Why banks are closing accounts without explanation, leaving Canadians scrambling
A letter in the mail succinctly announces that all of your financial accounts will be shuttered. Usually, you have up to three months to make alternate arrangements. The official explanation, if there is one, is as ominous as it is vague: âOur decision is a result of the unacceptable risk that we have identified with regard to the operation of your accounts.â
The consequences can be dire. You may have to rely on high-interest loans while you scramble to transfer your mortgage or lines of credit. If you have a business, you may have to explain to clients and creditors why you no longer have access to your bank account. Worse, once one financial institution has given you the boot, others may follow suit, making it hard to have a bank account at all.
TorStar: Jann Arden talks about new album Mixtape and concert tour
Having just announced a 12-date cross-Canada tour that includes June 9 and 10 concerts at Massey Hall, Jann Arden is back with a surprising new album.
This time around, the eight-time Juno Award winner, known for such originals as Could I Be Your Girl, Insensitive, and The Sound of, is covering mostly songs from the ’90s. On the 11-song Mixtape, she offers renditions of such hits as Joan Osborne’s One of Us, Chris Isaakâs Wicked Game and Des’reeâs You Gotta Be, as well as two earlier songs: Don Henleyâs Boys of Summer and Simon & Garfunkelâs The Boxer.
Publishers Weekly: Why Simon & Schusterâs Flagship Imprint Wonât Require Blurbs Anymore
Most surprising of all, though, has been discovering how many of the biggest-selling, prize-winning and most artistically revered titles in the flagship’s history did not use blurbs for their first printings: Psycho, Catch-22, All the President’s Men, Looking for Mr. Goodbar (also published in 1975âŚthe flagship certainly embraced the sexual revolution!), Where Are the Children?, Norwood, The White Album, Lonesome Dove, No Ordinary Time, Parting the Waters, John Adams, and Steve Jobs, to name just a few.
This got me thinking about the practice of blurbs. While there has never been a formal mandatory policy in the eight years I’ve been with the Simon & Schuster imprint, it has been tacitly expected that authors â with the help of their agents and editors â do everything in their power to obtain blurbs to use on their book cover and in promotional material. I have always found this so weird.
