Cooking with Paul: Discovering the fish-breading joys of plantain strips - San Antonio Express-News Cooking with Paul: Discovering the fish-breading joys of plantain strips - San Antonio Express-News Posted: 29 Feb 2020 02:00 AM PST Every week, Express-News Taste writer Paul Stephen cooks several recipes for his job — often creating his own in the process. Cooking with Paul chronicles what he learned each week from that process. Enjoy! Things got a little fishy in the kitchen this week. OK, make that a lot fishy. I was initially on a mission to make the traditional fried fish feast enjoyed by so many every Friday during Lent a little lighter by baking it in the oven instead of splattering my kitchen with grease. Enter my editor, Emily Spicer, who said, "but, what about Flamin' Hot Cheetos!" (Editor's note: There was a lot more to this convo. But if you like the idea of breading catfish in Cheetos, the idea was mine. If yo

NH debates whether to ban retail pet sales - The Union Leader NH debates whether to ban retail pet sales - The Union Leader Posted: 27 Feb 2020 01:09 PM PST CONCORD — Pet stores are at the center of a legislative battle over the sale of dogs, cats and rabbits. Advocates say the measure (HB 1388) would encourage consumers to adopt pets from animal shelters or rescue organizations. But pet store owners say the bill would prompt more people to buy pets online and that it unfairly targets retailers. Under the bill, any store that sold these pets would face a $500 fine for each violation. State Rep. Katherine Rogers, D-Concord, the bill's prime sponsor, told the House Environment and Agriculture Committee this week that her legislation is needed to close off the sale of animals from "puppy mills" that import pets that can have serious health problems. Rogers said she purchased her current pug dog from a wel

Reed Magazine | Going Stoic - Reed Magazine Reed Magazine | Going Stoic - Reed Magazine Posted: 28 Feb 2020 05:02 PM PST Arts & Humanities Can a philosophy that is more than 2,000 years old help you cope with your life right now? By Cecilia D'Anastasio '13 | February 28, 2020 On my first morning as a new Stoic, I was groggily leaving my bedroom to wash my face when I noticed three fish belly-up on the bottom of the living room fish tank. The night before, my partner and I had transferred our three painted tetras into a more spacious home and replaced our gaudy plastic decorations (including one yellow SpongeBob SquarePants pineapple) with a more adult underwater bonsai and living plants. It was a meticulous, controlled process that we weren't totally meticulous about. A longtime friend from Reed came over partway through and, in an effort to play host, we forgot to check the tank's ammonia balance. Dragging t

Coronavirus and the exotic animal trade: End the latter to contain the former - New York Daily News Coronavirus and the exotic animal trade: End the latter to contain the former - New York Daily News Posted: 27 Feb 2020 11:43 AM PST The sale of adorable otters might not sound like an impending cataclysm, but consider the 40,000 primates, 4 million birds, 350 million tropical fish, and 640,000 reptiles that are traded and sold alive each year. Not only can imported animals ravage a local ecosystem, but they also carry potential risks to human health. The red-eared slider turtle infestation of New York City is the perfect example.

Welcome to shark class - University of Florida Welcome to shark class - University of Florida Posted: 27 Feb 2020 08:30 AM PST L ast summer, the University of Florida and Florida State University set aside their longstanding rivalry to offer students a unique opportunity – a sharks field course. For two weeks, 10 undergraduate and graduate students roared across the Gulf of Mexico by day and bunked at research stations by night. They caught, tagged and released sharks and rays, dissected specimens and fanned themselves in an un-air-conditioned trailer as they studied the animals' intricate family tree. The course was created by two shark experts and longtime collaborators, each with decades of experience: Gavin Naylor, director of the Florida Program for Shark Research at the Florida Museum of Natural History, and Dean Grubbs, associate director of research at FSU's Coastal and Marine Laboratory. Naylor, an evolutionary biologi

Top Aquarium Accessories for 2020 - Latin Post Top Aquarium Accessories for 2020 - Latin Post Posted: 26 Feb 2020 06:31 PM PST Aquariums  help make a home look beautiful. Fishes are easier to take care of than any other pets. They require pet owners to invest less time in taking care of them.  Before deciding to finally set up a tank, a person should consider multiple things before purchasing a pet at the local pet store. A potential pet fish owner should first consider his or her expertise in taking care of fishes. Beginners should buy fish that require low maintenance.

Some aquarium decorations are good playgrounds for pet fishes.  Amazon has a variety of tank accessories fr
