An easy Homemade S'more Frozen Yogurt recipe using only 7 ingredients! S'mores never tasted so good and guilt free!
Let's celebrate National Dairy Month in the best way possible, with an easy Homemade S'more Frozen Yogurt recipe. Because S'mores and Frozen Yogurt are a must in the summer!
We are officially in the summer months! Can you believe it!?
Summer was always my favorite growing up. For one, my birthday was in the summer, in fact it was this past weekend. Happy Birthday to me! And two, it meant play time all day long!
We lived in a cul de sac growing up and were outside from sunrise till sunset! We would ride our bikes, play street hockey on our roller blades, play kickball using the bases we spray painted on the street, or baseball. We would get in our swim suits and jump from the roof onto a trampoline that had a sprinkler spraying under it.
On a side note, so dangerous… what were we thinking!?!
But every week we would ride our bikes up to the ice cream shop, Boy Blue, a couple blocks away. It was my favorite! They had the best shakes, chocolate banana was my shake of choice. My brother would always get an ice cream cone topped with strawberry sauce or dunked in chocolate for a hard shell. Sometimes we would even take our dog with us and he would get a puppy cone which was devoured in seconds. We would ride back to the house, cones in hand and ice cream melting down our arms.
I have so many happy memories in the summer.
And now, as a mom I want Cason to have those same memories. I want him to be out in the backyard digging holes, playing barefoot, living in a swimsuit, and of course ice cream dripping down his arm because he can't eat it fast enough in the hot summer sun.
That's what summer is all about!
For today's recipe I combined two summer staples. Frozen Yogurt and S'mores!
The best thing about making your own ice cream or frozen yogurt? You get to choose what goes in it. You get to choose what products you want to use. Which yogurt, which milk or cream. Dairy is budget friendly and comes in a variety of forms to meet individual needs; and one of ours family needs is lactose free. We just feel better in the tummy area when we have lactose free milk.
Part of the reason we choose lactose free Cows Milk is because I don't want to miss out on the nutrients that come in cows milk. Especially with a growing boy who needs his Calcium, Vitamin D, and protein. This kid lives on milk and yogurt. What can I say, I stay true to my Wisconsin roots. Yogurt has been an integral part of our families' diet for years. It is a good source of protein and an excellent source of calcium, but it also contains probiotics which may support digestive health1.
So, for this Homemade S'more Frozen Yogurt, which of course my son helped me make and by the looks of the picture you can tell he was ready to devour, you'll only need 7 ingredients! Hola!
I used Greek Yogurt, because I like the creaminess of it. Milk to make it smooth. Honey and vanilla to sweeten the yogurt. Then all the S'more staples … chocolate, graham crackers, and marshmallows. Ya'll this recipe is creamy, dreamy and delicious, has 16 grams of protein and 201 calories per serving (1/2 cup). It's froyo perfection!
This summer, instead of buying your ice cream. Take some time to make memories with your kiddos and make the ice cream … then devour it together!
In a medium bowl add yogurt, milk, honey, and vanilla extract. Slowly stir to mix all the ingredients together.
Next add chocolate chunks, mini marshmallows and graham crackers to the bowl. Stir ingredients together.
Add mixture to an ice cream maker. Let churn for about 20 minutes.
Remove from ice cream maker and place in a 8×8 loaf pan. Cover with plastic wrap and place in freezer for 2 hours.

This post is created with America's Dairy Farm Families and Importers, in partnership with the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy however the views and opinions included are my own.
My kids always want to make s'mores but having them by the fire pit always scares me. Now we'll just have fun making this together and enjoying it this way! Perfect!!
My daughter actually prefers frozen yogurt over ice cream, so this would be perfect for us to try!
Oh yum, I've got to try this, it sounds delicious!
haha.. sure is! Bring on the s'mores and the frozen yogurt!
What's not to love about this treat?? I love that you used Greek yogurt for the added protein!
Thank you so much Dorothy!
This looks absolutely perfect! I don't know why I have never tried to make my own frozen yogurt before!
I don't know why either, better get started!
What a delicious treat…definitely perfect for summer! Now if it would just warm up here! And your pictures are stunning!
Love this healthier twist! I'll take mine on a cone!

About N Seoul Tower
Rising 236 metres on Namsan Mountain in Central Seoul, N Seoul Tower is one of the city's premier tourist attractions. The Namsan Cable Car takes visitors from the city to the tower's base, where elevators ascend to four observation decks. It's especially popular in the evening, when the panoramas reveal billions of lights that glisten across the city.
Built in 1971 and officially known as the YTN Seoul Tower, this is one of South Korea's most iconic landmarks. N Lobby and N Plaza occupy the lower levels of the tower and contain a myriad of shops, restaurants and museums. An additional fee must be paid to travel up the tower to the four observation decks. An exclusive revolving restaurant fills Tower T5 while a digital observatory and high-powered telescopes are found on Tower T3.
Access to Namsan Mountain is restricted and most vehicles are not permitted to onto the mountain's slopes. Namsan Sunhwan Shuttle Buses travel up the mountain to N Seoul Tower from Seoul Station, Itaewon Station, Chungmuro Station and Myeong-dong Station. Most international visitors travel at least one way using the Namsan cable car, which ascends from the Namsan Cable Car Station, some 10-minutes walk from Myeong-dong Station.
Originally opened as a TV and radio broadcasting tower, it wasn't opened to the public until 1980. Tourism has since become integral, perhaps epitomised by a Teddy Bear Museum that opened in 2008. To celebrate the opening, a 7-metre high Christmas tree was erected, built using 300 teddy bears.

Grad je naselje v Občini Cerklje na Gorenjskem.

Sklici in opombe

Glej tudi
 seznam naselij v Sloveniji

Predstavil vam  bom vas Grad. Je ena izmed manjših vasi  v občini Cerklje. Leži severno od  vasi Cerklje ob poti na žičnico Krvavec. Ob zadnjem popisu leta 2002 je živelo v vasi 233 prebivalcev od tega 103 moški in 130 žensk.
Pred mnogimi leti sta stala v vasi dva gradova, - grad Samgrad  in grad Pod goro.  Za  grad  Pod goro se  žal  ne najde znamenj , stal pa  naj  bi blizu podgorškove  domačije .    Oba sta bila porušena ob turškem vpadu v štirinajstem stoletju. V obdobju  prve in druge svetovne vojne ni zapisanih posebej znanih bitk.
V sedanjem času je vas poznana po rekreativno turističnem centru Krvavec, saj večina zimskih in letnih turistov pride na Krvavec po poti skozi vas Grad. Severno in zahodno od vasi se vzpenjajo griči porasli z mešanim gozdom, južno in vzhodno pa se razprostirajo njive in travniki. Na njivah ob vasi je tudi pristajališče za jadralna padala. Pristajališče je v letnem času zelo obiskano.
Večina prebivalcev se ukvarja s poljedelstvo in živinorejo, nekaj je tudi podjetnikov, mlajši pa so večinoma zaposleni v mestih Kranj in Ljubljana. Zelo veliko pa je tudi otrok, ki obiskujejo osnovno šolo v Cerkljah ali srednje šole v Kranju in Ljubljani. V središču vasi je poznana picerija Tonač, na koncu vasi pa gostilna Pod Krvavcem.
Imamo tudi cerkev svete Helene. Ta cerkev je bila zgrajena leta 1426 kot kaže letnica na zvoniku. Nekoč je tu stala grajska kapela. Leta 1640 in leta 1857 so jo prenovili in povečali. Najstarejšega od treh zvonov je vlila ljubljanska delavnica Marije Ane Achneider v letu 1768.
Vas Grad ima tudi manjšo hidroelektrarno, ki leži ob cesti na Krvavec. Izkorišča vodno moč potoka Reke, ki teče  skozi zahodni del Grada.
Potok Reka je manjši potok, ki v zelo sušnem obdobju celo presahne. Čez potok je speljanih tudi več zidanih mostov. Ob izviru potoka Reke je zajetje pitne vode za okolico Kranja.

We are a very under advertised market and definitely in the next three to five years, we will see an upward trend.
Talking to ET Now, Aashish Bhasin, CEO, Dentsu, says players who get the content right on digital in the long run they will be the survivors after this initial euphoria is over.
Do you believe that the Indian ad spend at 0.35% of GDP is at the lower end of what we have seen with major global economies? Is it likely to show 15% compounded annual growth rate till FY22? Are we likely to see that sort of pick up through the course of the second half of this year?
We are a very under advertised market and definitely in the next three to five years, we will see an upward trend. The CAGR will be around 12% to 14% as per our calculations but you got to remember that not all media will be growing at the same rate. Digital for example is seeing a much faster growth. On the other hand, some parts of print are seeing a much slower growth. So it is not an even growth but definitely I think if you look at a three or five year perspective there will be very good growth.
Digitisation in India is an important catalyst for growth of the subscription industry as well. That has the potential to grow at double digits revenue in the medium term as well. How is it that you are looking at the media industry at a time when digitisation seems to be on the cusp of a breakout? How different things would be, post phase IV?
They are already in that cusp and it is not just the digitisation of television but the entire consumer consumption of media is shifting to digital. I expect that digital advertising in general will show something like between 25% and 30% growth for the next three or four years. There are several macro factors -- one is the falling of the data prices because of launch of Jio and all the competitors having to bring it down. Now for less than Rs 2000, you can get good smart phones and so I expect at least for the next five years there is going to be very good growth on digital. We have roughly 350 million internet users in India and that means that more than 900 million people or almost a billion people are not on the internet. The scope of growth is very high in that area.
As far as rest of the advertising is concerned, this year it has been a bit of a mixed bag. We started at the end of last year calendar year very badly with demonetisation impacting the business I think by about April the effect of demonetisation was over but in June and July the GST impact came in. I expect that this festive season should show a good uplift may be 15% to 20% but the real test will be what happens after the festive season is over because if it sustains at that level then I think we are over the problems on that, if it does not then I think there will be a long wait.
With falling data prices, digital and over the top services continue to rise in popularity. This will offer additional opportunities to broadcasters. Do you see broadcasters pursuing this opportunity and there being a revival of advertising revenues as well?
There will be a revival on the television revenues also because if the business grows, everything grows with it. It is like when the tide rises, all boats rise. The digital is a fundamental change and it is a consumer shift. All broadcasters who are invested in OTT and whose OTT platforms are doing well, are likely to grow much faster than the others who have not.
Even content is starting to be created with digital in mind. For example, the penetration levels of Facebook or Google in India, the way things are increasing all shows that digital advertising will completely outstrip all other advertising by a factor of maybe 200% or 250%. At the moment, digital is growing at about 30% while the ad market is growing between 10% and 12%, almost three times faster. The broadcasters who have invested in good OTT platforms, good content over there and have reached that out to the customers stand to gain much more I feel.
On digital and I am pressing more on this particular segment because that is where the explosion is likely to happen or most estimates work with the assumption that digital is the future. How do you see the digital advertising segment growth currently and what do you expect from it in the future?
You do not have to go very far. You just look at the consumer behaviour. If you look at the youngsters, they are not consuming media anywhere except on digital. You do not really need research to tell you. Just look at your children and you will have the answer over there. Whether they have got a book cinema tickets, whether they have got to choose a restaurant, they are completely on digital. You look at the search data, search and performance data, you can see an explosion happening over there because everybody is searching for things on mobile.
The other difference that has happened in India is that we became a mobile first market because mobile started becoming important, now we are becoming a mobile only market. For every hundred new internet users that are coming in, 95 are coming in from mobile.
We are virtually getting to a stage where almost all new users are being added only through mobile. We are in the midst of this revolution. Currently, the digital advertising industry is growing at about 30% or so and I think on a long term basis it will sustain at least for the next three to five years.
If something is growing at a compounded rate of 30%, you can imagine what sort of revolution we are in. Just a few years ago, digital used to account for 4% or 5% of the entire advertising industry. Today as we speak, it already accounts for 16% and Dentsu's network research has shown that by 2020 which is just two-and-a-half years ago, it will be more than one-fourth of the market.
This is also a landmark year if you look at it globally because in many of the top 10 or top 20 markets in the world, digital this year in 2017 or in 2018 is going to become the single largest medium. India is also definitely heading in that way though we are about four or five years behind in that cycle.
Where do Indian players like Hotstar, Amazon India stand as opposed to global peers?
They have done very well in the relatively short period that they have been here but so far that market has been less competitive because the number of players are small. The real test will be three years from now when almost every channel will have an OTT platform when there will be new players. For example, Netflix is now establishing itself bigger and bigger. So once this competition heats up, at the moment as far a digital advertising is concerned the big chunk is going to the duopoly of Facebook and Google. Soon Amazon will come into it because it has e-commerce fulfilment as well as a part of it.
A lot of these platforms like Hotstar is a good example. A few years ago there was hardly any advertising. This year if you looked at IPL, huge amounts of money was put in around that. Now with cricket coming in, more and more advertisers are likely to come on to that. So we are going to see a very good growth almost for all players but the key is content because just repurposing non digital content for digital may not be the answer, the players who get the content right on digital in the long run they will be the survivors after this initial euphoria is over.


Seen in Centralia, Washington, on November 8, 2012.
This last Saturday night, I stopped by the annual Saint Paul Art Crawl. It takes place in the Lowertown area of downtown Saint Paul, where former warehouses have been turned into artists' lofts, starting back in the 1980s. I don't go to The Crawl every year, but I'm glad I did this year.
One of the artists who had work on display was a guy named Jeff Nelson. Lately, Jeff has been doing wall-sized chalk murals of lettering and illustration at area restaurants. I first noticed one a month or so ago at The Cheeky Monkey in Saint Paul. I didn't notice who did it at the time, but I knew as soon as I stepped into Jeff's studio Saturday night. Nice work, Jeff!
Seen in an antique store (a former dress factory) in Oneonta, New York, July 7, 2007.
I love this old lettering, c. 1954. Seen in the Amana Heritage Museum, Amana Colonies, Iowa, March 19, 2012.

Schloss Osterstein auf dem Hainberg oberhalb des Geraer Stadtteils Untermhaus war das Residenzschloss des Fürstentums Reuß jüngere Linie.

Im Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde das Schloss bei einem Luftangriff am 6. April 1945 zerstört. Die Ruinen wurden 1962 gesprengt. Heute sind von der ursprünglichen Bausubstanz nur noch der ehemalige Bergfried aus dem 12. Jahrhundert, die zum Schloss führende Wolfsbrücke von 1857 sowie Reste von Wirtschaftsgebäuden und Schlosshof erhalten.

Geschichte

An der Stelle einer bronzezeitlichen Wallanlage sowie einer späteren, erst seit 1997 nachgewiesenen slawischen Burg auf dem Hainberg wurde von den Vögten von Weida im 12./13. Jahrhundert eine Burganlage errichtet. Aus dem mittleren 13. Jahrhundert stammt mit dem Bergfried einer der wenigen noch erhaltenen Teile des Schlosses. Unklar ist, ob die Anlage von Anfang an der hauptsächliche Wohn- und Herrschaftssitz der Linie der Vögte von Weida war, die sich seit den 1230er Jahren nach Gera benannte; der traditionellen Auffassung, die Vögte und Herren hätten bis zum Sächsischen Bruderkrieg in der Stadtburg in der Geraer Altstadt residiert und den Osterstein nur als Nebensitz genutzt, wurde 2012 von Christine Müller widersprochen. Die Vögte besaßen die Burg zunächst als Lehen des Stifts Quedlinburg, mussten sie aber infolge der Ereignisse des vogtländischen Krieges 1358 dem Markgrafen von Meißen als Afterlehen auftragen. Seitdem besaßen die Wettiner die Lehnshoheit über Burg und Stadt Gera.

1550 starb die Linie der Herren von Gera aus, das Gebiet fiel an die verwandte Linie der Reuß von Plauen zu Greiz. Im 16. und 17. Jahrhundert – beginnend mit Heinrich dem Jüngeren, dem Vater von Heinrich Posthumus Reuß, in den 1560er Jahren – wurde die Burg zu einem herrschaftlichen Renaissanceschloss umgebaut. 1581 erfolgte die erste Erwähnung des Namens Osterstein durch Petrus Albinus. Bis zu ihrem Aussterben 1802 war das Schloss Sitz der Linie Reuß-Gera.

Seit 1863 war Osterstein die Residenz des Fürstentums Reuß jüngere Linie. Am 1. März 1908 wurde auf dem Schloss die Ehe zwischen dem bulgarischen Zaren Ferdinand I. und Eleonore Reuß zu Köstritz geschlossen. Es handelte sich hierbei um eine protestantische Zeremonie, nachdem das Paar sich schon zwei Tage zuvor in Coburg katholisch hatte trauen lassen. Am 24. April 1917 fand die letzte Fürstenhochzeit auf Schloss Osterstein statt, in der Feodora Reuß jüngere Linie Herzog Adolf Friedrich zu Mecklenburg heiratete.

In Folge der Novemberrevolution unterschrieb Heinrich XXVII. als letzter regierender Fürst Reuß am 10. November 1918 seine Abdankungsurkunde auf Schloss Osterstein, welches nach dem Ende der Monarchien im Deutschen Reich bis 1945 Eigentum und Wohnsitz der Fürstenfamilie blieb. In der Endphase des Zweiten Weltkriegs wurde das Schloss beim schwersten Bombenangriff der United States Army Air Forces auf Gera am 6. April 1945 zerstört und brannte vollkommen aus. Letzter Eigentümer war seit 1928 Heinrich XLV., dessen gesamtes Vermögen bei Kriegsende auf Befehl der Sowjetischen Militäradministration beschlagnahmt und 1948 enteignet wurde. Er selbst wurde im August 1945 von sowjetischem Militär verschleppt und gilt seit dem als vermisst.

Die ausgebrannten Ruinen von Schloss Osterstein wurden weitgehend dem Verfall überlassen, lediglich der Bergfried wurde restauriert und erhielt seine heutige kegelförmige Turmhaube. Im Rahmen eines NAW-Projektes wurden die baufälligen Ruinen am 9. Dezember 1962  gesprengt. Auf dem Plateau der ehemaligen Hauptburg entstand eine Ausflugsgaststätte, das Terrassencafé Osterstein, zu dem auch eine kleine Freilichtbühne sowie ein Kinderspielplatz gehören. Gemeinsam mit dem nun als Aussichtsturm genutzten 21 Meter hohen Bergfried ist das Café heute ein beliebtes Ausflugsziel.

Flaws in the Whats App Security: In this 21st century we end up trusting our gadgets more than ourselves. It is definitely convenient to have a digital assistant. It is indeed relaxing that we don't have to carry around all the data in our head all the time. Services that remember our passwords for us, saves our data on our devices so that we can access them anywhere anytime are just some of the instances of how easy things have become.
Fake Whats App Web and the Risks: Unfortunately this ease of accessing data is also the exact vulnerability that many hackers are exploiting today. Recently Whats App, the famous messaging app has fallen prey to such hackers. Whats App has a web version that we know as Whats App Web.
Not all of the app users are accustomed to the desktop version. The hackers are using this flaw to their advantage. They have created fake Whats App web applications. There are various versions of it but according to the most general version, users have to submit their Whats App number to download the app. Once the hackers obtain the mobile number of the user then it clearly becomes a case of identity theft. The mobile numbers can be used by hackers as they see fit.
The numbers can then be spammed or it can be used for worse things. The mobile number of the user can be signed up for premium services. These may lead to loss of money that the user is unaware about.
Whats App Backup Flaw: Whats App has the end to end encryption protection. So the messages are safe while they are being sent as they are being sent in an encrypted format. The problem lies in the fact that the messages are in unencrypted format when it is in our devices. The backups created by Whats App are in unencrypted formats and can be stolen by hackers. This gives enough information the hackers which can be used by them for blackmailing the users or simply to use their identity for their use. For example- Names, addresses, contact, photos may be used by the hackers for illegal activities. The retrieved information can also be sold on illegal markets in the Dark Web as there is a market for fake identities.
Safeguarding our Identity: Simply put even with the endless security provided, no information is completely safe on the internet. We should be aware of the applications that we are downloading. Before accessing the desktop version of Whats App it is better to double check that the application is authentic or not. We should never provide personal information like phone number, name, address etc without being sure about the authenticity of the website.
It may be better to turn off the backup option in the app version to be on the safe side. It is wise to refrain from sharing personal information online as it may be misused by the receiver or hackers eavesdropping on the messages.
It is true that we are extremely dependent on mobile apps, web applications nowadays but it would be careless of us if we share all our information without a second thought. Once the information is out on the internet, we can't do much to protect it. It is our responsibility to protect our identity.

%let rc=%sysfunc(stpsrv_header(Content-type,application/vnd.ms-excel));
%let rc=%sysfunc(stpsrv_header('Content-disposition','attachment; filename=temp.csv'));

The intention here is to generate two CSV files in the HTML application.
But at the application, it only exports the first file.
How can I do this?

A: You've already got what I'd have suggested when I first read the title - a separate "create CSV" job and a "download CSV" job.
So on your "download CSV" job, why not make 2 links instead of one?  One for each link.  That's the user friendly approach, and how most sites would present data like this - as separate links for each file.
If this won't work with your architecture, the "one zip file" approach is also appropriate (particularly if the file is very large and you'd want to zip it anyway), but I tend to feel that separate links makes sense much of the time.

A: My coworker found the solution:
proc export data=FILE1
outfile="PATH/FILE1.xlsx"
dbms=xlsx
replace;
run;

proc export data=FILE2
outfile="PATH/FILE2.xlsx"
dbms=xlsx
replace;
run;

ods package(newzip) open nopf;
ods package(newzip) add file="PATH/FILE1.xlsx" ;
ods package(newzip) add file="PATH/FILE2.xlsx";
ods package(newzip) publish archive
properties(
archive_name='MYFILE.zip'
archive_path="PATH"
);
ods package(newzip) close;

data _null_;
file _webout recfm=s;
infile "PATH/MYFILE.zip" recfm=n;
if _n_ = 1 then do;
rc = stpsrv_header('Content-type','application/zip');
rc = stpsrv_header('Content-disposition',"attachment; filename=MYFILE.zip");
end;
input c $char1.;
put c $char1. @@;
run;

It turns out that Stored Process doesn't output more than one file, so the best way of doing it is exporting the files inside a zip document.

Q: 433MHz receiver compatibilty Currently I have a setup where a 433MHz Transmitter sends a number from one arduino and a 433MHz receiver picks it up for another arduino. The Transmitter and receiver are of the Super Regenerative type if I'm correct (picture below).

My question is can another type of 433MHz Receiver pick up the same signal? A Super Heterodyne Type?

A: Short answer: Yes a superheterodyne receiver can "pick up" the transmitted signal.
Be aware that the transmitter side is a transmitter+modem: The transmitter accepts a digital input signal to be sent . And the super-regenerative receiver shown is a receiver+ modem: it outputs a digital signal.
A superheterodyne receiver very likely has no modem...it outputs an analog signal which would require an additional modem-type circuit to re-generate the digital signal.
The modules shown use a very simple modem scheme. It is often called on-off-keying (OOK). It is very similar to Morse code.

A: The Transmitter and receiver are of the Super Regenerative type if I'm correct
Nope, they're not.
Super Regenerative means it is an oscillating receiver circuit.
That transmitter is just a 433 MHz oscillator. Super Regenerative Transmitters do not exist.
That receiver could be Super Regenerative type, the only thing I know for sure that these receiver models aren't very sensitive. I know, I own one and its not that good.
Much better is a Super heterodyne receiver module, they have a chip and usually look something like this:

There's also a smaller version which looks like:

Some of these use the SYN470R chip.
Note how there are far less passive components. This type of receiver is much better than the one from your picture. It is also only slightly more expensive and well worth that few extra cents.


Remember my post on Linda Rodin back in January? Well this is what we were doing. We teamed up with Coach and had a tete-a-tete about personal style evolution and tendencies.
More on the New York Times blog and further conversations from Man Repeller and Style Bubble on Advanced Style.


As we head into the next decade, many people are making an effort to be more environmentally friendly. Society cannot ignore the damage our way of life has done to the planet, ultimately making the living conditions worse for humans to survive. There is a multitude of ways people are making changes in their lives in the hopes of creating a better future. People recycle and make an attempt to avoid single-use plastic.
One of the most common ways people obtain single-use plastic is by using straws at various places. A growing trend with environmentally conscious people is the reusable straw. As plastic straws are soon to be banned across the country, it's essential we find a replacement for their initial purpose by utilizing reusable materials.
Our country might run off capitalism, but that shouldn't mean we all carry a "throwaway mentality." Creating quality products that can be used repeatedly for an extended period is much more beneficial than using production to manufacture something that will shortly be thrown away after one use. The trending shift to design these reusable products is going to make a significant difference in the daily lives of humans, and it's vital to get on board as soon as possible.
A current company who is making a name for themselves in the reusable straw industry is Sand Straw, as their designs bring recognition to the animals that are harmed by plastic-made products. These stainless steel straws are made with high-quality products and have gorgeous designs that are unique to the company. Every straw makes a difference in the world, and thousands across the US already use Sand Straw products.
Switching to reusable straws should be implemented now as we no longer have time to wait. Contact us for more information on Sand Straw and how it can make a difference in your everyday life. Straws serve a specific, good purpose. It's essential we move away from plastic and start thinking about the longevity of the products we choose to invest time and money.

Q: Encrypt a private key with a password just using WebCrypto API Is it possible to encrypt a CryptoKey (private key) with a  string as a encryption key and just using the WebCryptoAPI?
I implemented a function but I got the following error:
Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: AES key data must be 128 or 256 bits

Also, my function.
function encryptPrivateKey() {
    var promise = new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
        try {
            var key = new TextEncoder().encode(pwd);
            var iv = crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint8Array(12));
            var alg = {name: 'AES-CTR', iv: iv};
            window.crypto.subtle.importKey('raw', key, alg, false, ['encrypt']).then(function (key) {
                window.crypto.subtle.encrypt(alg, key, privateKeyPEM).then(function (key) {
                    privateKey = key;
                })
            });
            resolve(privateKey);
        } catch (err) {
            reject(Error(err));
        }

    });
    return promise.then(function (result) {
        return result;
    }, function (err) {
        console.log(err);
    });
}

A: It is, first of all please use an authenticated mode of encryption such as AES-GCM.
Secondly, you should consider using an existing format such as PKCS#8 for this task. You can see PKI.js for a library that can help you do this.
Another approach would be to encrypt the key into a CMS message, here is a sample that does just that: https://pkijs.org/examples/CMSEnvelopedPreDefineDataExample.html
You can look at it to see how to do the associated webcrypto even if you wanted to do a custom format.
Third, it is much better to not encrypt with a password, anything encrypted with a password will be grindable, it is always better to generate a solid symmetric key and use that instead of a derived password.
If you do use a password be sure to use PBDKF2 to stretch the password, https://github.com/diafygi/webcrypto-examples#pbkdf2. If you do this your above sample is going to end up working.
If you use one of the existing formats for keys they will send you down this path naturally.


It is both an amazing and a humbling truth that God has for some reason decided that his work in this world would largely be carried out by you and me. He has said that we his people will help to build his Kingdom. Despite our fallen, frail and fickle natures, he has wondrously and mysteriously chosen us to help get the job done.
That is an incredible thought. As Paul puts it in 2 Corinthians 4:7, we have this treasure (the glory of God) in earthen vessels (our own weak and stumbling selves). Imagine the humility and grace of God, to entrust this most vital of tasks to us.
It is almost as if I had a multi-million dollar business deal to stitch together, and I entrusted the whole job to a five-year-old boy. Or as if I must sit a rigorous PhD entrance exam, and I ask a four-year-old girl to take it for me. Or as if I choose to entrust the flying of a 747 to a three-year-old boy.
Of course we have many promises that God will achieve his purposes, and his Kingdom will be established. "I will build my church" Jesus reassured us (Matt. 16:18). Indeed, the gates of hell will not prevail against it. That which God has started he will bring to completion (Phil. 1:6). Many other such promises and assurances could be cited here.
Yet despite these glorious promises, it is still mind-boggling to know that somehow we are involved in all this. He still deigns to use us to help achieve the tasks of world evangelisation, disciple-making, and church building. Given how many Christian leaders have failed so greatly, and how many pastors have fallen from grace, it is a wonder that the church is being built at all. Indeed, we have all seriously harmed the church and brought dishonour and disrepute to God by sin, selfishness and failure. We have failed him time and time again. It is incredible that God still continues to use us.
A recent article in Charisma magazine speaks to one aspect of all this. It speaks of the "deadly virus of celebrity Christianity" and is well worth having a look at. (It does not yet appear to be in the Charisma website.) J. Lee Grady, the author, reminds us that we have strayed quite a way from the early church, as we engage in "shameful carnality".
Quite right. We live in the age of the celebrity pastor, and these pastors have a lifestyle to match their status. Yet our Lord had nowhere to rest his head. He owned no home, had no wealth, and did not even have a pension plan. Nor did the early disciples.
But today we have made a prosperity gospel out of what should be a gospel that sets sinners free and makes us right with God. Today we have no heroes, only celebrities, as David Wells reminds us in his important new book (which I will soon review here).
The Christian church has also fallen for the celebrity trap and the fame game. We are more interested in mega-pastors and megachurches than we are in the two most important things of the Christian faith: the person and work of Jesus, and the inspired Word of God.
We live in an age of entertainment, of celebrities, of greed, of pleasure, of vanity, of self, and of self-indulgence. And much of the church of Jesus Christ has pretty much taken all this on board. No wonder we are so anaemic, so ineffective, so despised and rejected by the world. We have nothing to offer.
The world has all these things already. Why get them second-hand from the church? It is only when the church is radically different, and preaches a real gospel, that we will turn the world upside down. Only when we get back to Jesus Christ and him crucified will we be real salt and light. Only when we renounce our worldliness and shallowness and carnality will we see real revival break out.
The question is, what do we as God"s people most want? Do we simply want to be like the world, or do we want to challenge the world, to show the world something much better, and be true to Jesus Christ? The world rejected Jesus. It put him on a cross. We should expect no less as his flowerers.
But if we insist on being like the world and copying the world, we will not be rejected, much less crucified. We will simply be laughed at, or ignored. We certainly will not be taken seriously. Now is the time to decide whose side we are really on. "Choose you this day whom you will serve" (Joshua 24:15).
A very interesting article that highlights the error of chasing celebrity ministers (not to mention celebrity churches) to find a God who is already with us.
23At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'There he is!' do not believe it. 24For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect—if that were possible. 25See, I have told you ahead of time.
26″So if anyone tells you, 'There he is, out in the desert,' do not go out; or, 'Here he is, in the inner rooms,' do not believe it.
To me these seem like warnings against rushing from here and there to find "anointed ones" in a variety of locations.
I think as Christians we have to be careful what we say about other ministers, (the Bible says don't bite one another or we'll destroy ourselves). I think the story sounds made up and bitter.We need to leave God to judge that one or two people who are failing, as you mentioned we all fail and are fragile, lest we become like David's brothers who called him egoistic when he went to fight Goliath.
What is a mega church anyway, Jesus is really the head (now with his worldwide body and when he walked the earth thousands of people at a time followed him in one location). The tall poppy syndrome is very rampant here in Australia and I am careful to be Christ minded and not just fit the 'worldly' norm.
Ahhhhh. At last do we see the Evangelical Church seeing the 'real' light?
This is a good sign of things to come.
I think a poverty spirit is FAR more damaging for the church than what is published above!
Do we seriously want to keep it that way????????????
God wants us to have everything we desire, if we make money and we are commanded to use it wisely to help build his kingdom and to help others. So therefore it's not about what people earn, but simply about what people do with their earnings.


A second wine review from Thierry Germain Cep by Cep in the Loire Valley. This wine is an Anjou rouge, which is an organically tended 100% cabernet franc. Alas, the words "cabernet franc" do not appear on the front label like Thierry Germain's chenin blanc. I have not found this style of cabernet franc being made in Australia. The 2015 vintage tasted here is all raspberries, strawberries, medium bodied and with a crisp smokey/twiggy fruit overlay. This is recommended and lovely current drinking and a typical expression of Loire cab franc. The vintage shown on the label photo is the 2014 vintage. Rating: Good. Abv: 12.5%. Price: $30.


Is the shop affiliated with a dealership or is it independent? Generally, Volvo dealerships cost more than independent or non-dealership mechanics; however, independent shop technicians are often just as well-trained as Volvo dealership technicians.
Are the shop's technicians certified? Special certifications, such as an ASE-Certification, designate that a technician has passed a basic competency test covering a wide variety of Volvo repair procedures.
Among collision shops in Derby, ICS is confident that we meet—and even exceed—the standards set for Volvo repair in the auto body industry. We invite you to come in today and decide for yourself!
We know accidents can be a source of great stress, so give us a call at or contact us here and we'll restore your Volvo and your peace of mind!


Maybe most people didn't see that one coming, but I had harboured a suspicion for several weeks that the UK electorate as a whole would vote to leave the European Union; and in that belief had urged people supporting that position to be clearer about what it would mean in practice, and what the consequences would be.
And now, several days have passed since the vote and nobody knows anything at all. We don't know, even in outline, what kind of relationship with the EU those who campaigned for Brexit actually want, or what the UK's negotiating position will be. We don't know whether the UK can or will be in the EU's single market. We don't know what the actions of investors will be, or indeed of domestic consumers. We don't know what will happen to the UK's currency, the Pound.
I imagine that many of those who voted to leave will have done so in the expectation that immigration (from the EU and indeed everywhere else) will fall dramatically; and yet we must suspect it almost certainly will not, whatever new regulatory framework emerges.
And of course we don't know what will happen to Scotland – will it now leave the UK, or will there be some accommodation that allows Scotland (and maybe London?) to keep special ties to the European Union within a United Kingdom that has left?
In the university sector, a large number of questions now arise, some of them of fundamental importance. Will they still be able to recruit faculty and students internationally, in the EU and beyond, as before? Will they still have access to the same research funding? What about Erasmus and other student exchanges? How will our friends and partners across the world now view us?
I began my academic career in 1980. Over the years since then I cannot recall any period of such uncertainty as the one we face now; made more difficult by the fact that almost none of our questions will be conclusively answered any time soon. We will be living in very interesting times.
One of the more curious things to come out of the current British EU referendum campaign is the debate about 'experts'. For some time the Remain side have been producing economists, political scientists, financiers and others to explain why a UK exit form the EU – so-called 'Brexit' – would be a bad idea. The Leave side have been much less successful in getting well known figures to support their case. And so, in the course of an interview on Sky television, leading Leave campaigner Michael Gove offered this: 'I think the people of this country have had enough of experts'.
However, this is not a completely new suggestion. Some years ago in 1981 I attended a conference as a young lecturer. One of the invited speakers was one of Mr Gove's predecessors as Lord Chancellor, Lord Hailsham. In the course of a questions and answers session at the end of his talk, he was invited to consider the line-up of prominent economists then publicly criticising the Conservative government's economic policies. 'Ah, the experts,' he mused. '"Expertise" is just a fancy word for "bias". We don't need all these self-proclaimed experts.' And before him still, then Prime Minister Harold Macmillan complained that 'we have not overthrown the divine right of kings to fall down for the divine right of experts'.
In the current EU campaign, the dislike of expertise and a lack of trust in experts has become one of the characteristics of the Leave population. According to a recent poll, Leave voters actually don't trust many people generally, but particularly not economists, academics, people from the Bank of England, and think tanks. Instead they prefer to rely on the common sense of 'ordinary people'.
It is tempting for an academic to be dismissive of all this. However, that would be wrong. Far from being dismissive, we should be concerned that the pursuit of knowledge is so little valued by so many people. Is it because Lord Hailsham was actually right – that becoming highly knowledgeable in a particular field desensitises us to the validity of challenge from those not in the inner circle of expertise? Do we need to look more closely – as a research project is doing – at the idea of intellectual humility?
On the other hand, we should be vigorous in defence of knowledge and discovery, without which we can achieve neither progress nor a civilised society. Those of us who make some claim to expertise should do so without arrogance, but also with confidence in the importance of scholarship and the contribution it makes. Common sense is a traditional British virtue; but it is not a substitute for expertise.
As I may have mentioned before, I do not subscribe to the view that universities as institutions should campaign for or against the UK's continuing membership of the European Union. That is ultimately a matter for the voters, and of course they will make their choice with reference to many different things, not many of which will have much to do with higher education. It is of course perfectly proper for universities to point out how they may benefit from European Union membership, but they should then leave it to the electorate to judge how important that is in the overall scheme of things.
But there is an element of this referendum campaign which is a proper subject-matter for the academy: the truth or otherwise of the arguments being presented by those advocating a leave or remain vote. And the picture is not a pretty one. As the campaign has progressed the arguments have become increasingly bizarre, with a Third World War vying for attention with the prospect of every single Turk turning up at Heathrow or Dover. The printed news media, or parts of it, has done what it seems to do best, which is to take this kind of stuff and put it in large print on the front pages.
The main result of this is that the electorate appears to be heading for the polling booths in a state of extraordinary ignorance. A poll conducted by Ipsos MORI has revealed that on most of the issues that the protagonists have placed at the top of the agenda (immigration, trade etc) the public believe 'facts' that are simply wrong. Correcting all this misinformation (or indeed disinformation) is an important task that academics should tackle. Whatever way we would like this vote to go, it should be undertaken with more than the usual understanding of the key issues. There is not much time left.
A couple of years ago MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) were all the rage – as we discussed a couple of times in this blog. I was, as readers may recall, a little sceptical; and then the noise around MOOCs abated, and we went on to other things. One of the key problems with MOOCs, as I would have argued then, was that they didn't provide the student with what most students principally want: a formally recognised qualification, a degree.
Now we may be seeing this addressed: the Open University and the University of Leeds are reported to be about to recognise time spent on MOOCs as part of the time spent working towards a degree. I don't know anything else – how much credit can be accumulated in this way, whether the courses will attract fees, and so forth.
I still take the view that MOOCs run as genuinely open and free courses cannot become a major part of higher education, as there is no conceivable business model that would work here. But there may be ways in which online courses can be developed to play a more realistic (and effective) role in the development of a new model of higher education. It will be worth watching this experiment.
Butterfly and bee. And poet.
Muhammad Ali was, perhaps more than a boxer, a poet; a poet of words, rhyme and movement. That is worth celebrating, and his passing is worth mourning.

MYSTIFYING footage of a flickering orb claimed to have been filmed over the Thames Estuary has left UFO watchers mystified.
Brightly lit UFOs over the UK and Russia are lighting up the sky and burning up the Internet. But do they stand up to scrutiny?
A man referring to himself as Space999dude posted a video on YouTube (see above) that shows something in the sky over the Thames Estuary near London on Feb. 5. He wrote that the object "seems too bright for a boat but I could be wrong, and looked like it was above the water. It was a very long way off and I was at full 40x zoom — hence the shaky footage.
Space999dude's video pulled in a lot of comments, many wondering why the clip was under a minute in length. Perhaps in response to some who complained that the first video clip didn't offer any long-range perspective of the UFO, he posted a second clip to show faraway and close-up views of it.
"I noticed a horizontal glow below the main object glow. It looked like water to me, so I thought it might be a classic ship mirage where a ship out at sea appears to be separated from the horizon because of the temperature differential between the air and water," Dantonio told HuffPost.
Then, when he examined the follow-up video that gave more of a faraway view, showing the UFO with the context of land and water, he was more than convinced.
Armed with that information, we decided to ask Dantonio to look at another video, this one reportedly shot in January in a remote Russian village in the Ural Mountains.
According to a Russia NTV news report, this circular-shaped, donut-like UFO was seen by several witnesses who were losing sleep after their experience.
But Dantonio — who creates special effects for several television channels and has specific contracts with the U.S. Navy, Congress and the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Washington — says the Russian villagers have no need for sleeping aids.
He's pretty sure this UFO was a device similar to a quad copter he built for a National Geographic special, "The Truth Behind: UFOs," which aired in December 2011.

What's the Best Movie or TV Parody of the year So Far?
by Paul Zuniga 2 years ago in comedy
We picked some of the funniest and most hilarious sketches of the year.
Originally, parodies were solely meant to mock poor examples of entertainment, not good shows and movies. However, between Saturday Night Live, Funny or Die and original YouTube sketches, fans can now laugh at films and television series that carry a very serious tone. We're all watching some pretty somber entertainment, and we all love sharing funny clips with our friends, so parodies can gain massive notoriety in a very small span of time.
2016 has been filled with hilarious sketches that have poked fun at our favorite films, while others have struck hard at the core of TV series that have disappointed fans — but it's all been in good fun. That said, a few parodies have stood out from the rest. Here are the year's best so far.

Medley Calls for Pastoral Compassion at Synod of Bishops
ABCUSA > In the Spotlight > Medley Calls for Pastoral Compassion at Synod of Bishops
The story below was originally released by the Baptist World Alliance on October 28.
Roy Medley, ABCUSA General Secretary and fraternal delegate of the Baptist World Alliance (BWA) at the recent Synod of Bishops on the Family in Rome, urged the gathering "to emphasize the pastoral nature of the ministry which is entrusted to the whole church."
Medley, who is chair of the BWA Commission on Interfaith Relations and the Membership Committee, as well as a member of the BWA General Council and Executive Committee, emphasized that "there is no perfect family and no perfect marriage."
Rather, "in our broken world, families are not only a source of great blessing, they can also be a source of great harm as when a father molests his daughters, or brothers and sisters fight over inheritance. This is the pastoral reality: Families have their blessings and their dysfunctions."
Medley said the world longs for, but rarely expects, the presence of Christ. "Instead they see us abandoning them in the midst of their greatest personal struggles because of their irregular situations."
The BWA representative, who is also chair of the National Council of Churches USA, had joined other fraternal delegates to address the synod. These included representatives from the Orthodox, Methodist, Disciples of Christ and other Christian traditions.
The gathering, which convened from October 4-25, was in continuity with a similar synod in October 2014. It included Roman Catholic bishops from around the globe to discuss important issues facing families today.

The Never Ending Story: Should You Stream It Or Skip It (Without Spoilers)? What Our Critic Has To Say?
by Lokesh Bhardwaj

The Never Ending Story is a 1984 film that draws its plot from Michael Ende's novel of the same name. The film has been produced by Bernd Eichinger and Dieter and directed by Wolfgang Petersen. The production companies associated with the creation of this film are Neue Constantin Film, Bavaria Film and Producers Sales Organization.
It was one of the costliest films that had been created at that time, which eventually became worth it. It is a fantasy movie mainly for children that depicts Bastian and his struggle to avoid being bullied. Bastian gets involved in a fantasy world where he finds solace and gets into many intriguing adventures to watch.
Should You Stream it or Skip It?
The Never Ending Story is simple yet new of a kind. It is a very old film, but I still remember its excellent creation of the fantasy world and its simple and exciting plot. Everyone of us wants to run into a world that has no chaos and only peace. But it seems, in reality, no such world happens to be present.
The fantasy world also has an evil force, yet it seems it is way easier to handle than the problems one faces in reality. If you love adventure movies and want to enjoy the end of this year on a happy and merry note, choosing to watch this film is an excellent choice.
What Our Critic has to Say?
The film has been able to get a high rating, 7.4/10 in IMDb, so you can imagine that watching it is indeed going to be worthwhile. The plot is simple yet unique and can furnish an excellent vibe that mesmerizes the audience. The creatures, background, animation, characters all are placed accurately and not for a single moment will you feel boring.
It is a children's movie, but if you want to watch it to relax and have a leisure time with your family, your choice will be the best. Reliving childhood days once again is going to be wholesome for you surely.

The actors and actresses who are seen in The Never Ending Story are Barret Oliver as Bastian Balthazar Bux; Noah Hathaway as Atreyu; Tami Stronach as The Childlike Empress; Patricia Hayes as Urgl; Sydney Bromley as Engywook; Gerald McRaney as Mr. Bux; Moses Gunn as Cairon; Alan Oppenheimer; Thomas Hill as Carl Conrad Coreander; Deep Roy as Teeny Weeny; TiloPruckner as Nighthob; and few more.
The story of The Never Ending Story revolves around Bastian Bux, who can be seen as an introvert who his classmates ridicule for being extremely shy. One day to escape such criticisms, he takes shelter in a bookstore where he comes across a book named The Never Ending Story and reads about a fictional world that also has an evil force named The Nothing.
Bastian involuntarily becomes a part of this world and, with the aid of Falkor, is able to stop getting bullied from his peers. It is a must-watch a movie, so watch it and comment whether you liked it or not.

The only word in the dictionary which can describe Lokesh well is "Curious". He is a man who sits in the corner of a café, sipping his coffee and watch others and write about them having a good time. Addicted to bettering himself each day. An impressive introvert who finds his home in the places he travels. It's either the power of universe or sunsets that sets his soul free. In between, He can be found wrapped in his own bubble, knitting stories even before the sun rises!

Major boost for Australia's digital backbone as NBN Co selects Ericsson for Fixed Wireless Access network upgrade
Ten-year partnership extension spans 4G and 5G next-generation solutions
Ericsson radio access network and microwave transport solutions to empower upgrade
Hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses to benefit by end-2024
STOCKHOLM, Nov. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Australia's National Broadband Network Co's (NBN Co) fixed wireless access (FWA) footprint is set to grow by up to 50 percent nationally by the end of 2024 under an exclusive ten-year partnership extension with Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) to deploy 4G and next- generation 5G connectivity.
NBN Co (nbn) is a publicly owned corporation of the Australian Government, tasked to design, build and operate Australia's digital backbone as a wholesale broadband access network provider.
The deployment is a significant move in addressing the geographical challenge of bringing improved service to communities and businesses across Australia - one of the largest countries in the world with huge variations in population density.
FWA currently covers more than 650,000 premises across Australia. Under the new partnership, Ericsson will supply the next-generation technology critical to 5G-enable many existing towers across the nbn Fixed Wireless network.
The additional capacity and reach of the upgraded network will provide up to 120,000 homes and businesses in nbn's satellite footprint access to fixed wireless for the first time.
Jason Ashton, nbn Executive General Manager for Fixed Wireless and Satellite, says: "Our network is the digital backbone of Australia, and it is constantly evolving as we help keep communities, businesses and all areas of society connected, and our nation productive. Investing in 5G mmWave is a part of our commitment to evolve the nbn Fixed Wireless network for future needs and continually enhance customer experience. We're committed to maximizing the performance of both our fixed wireless and satellite networks, and our work with Ericsson will help us push the boundaries of its capabilities to the benefit of the more than one million homes and businesses covered by these networks across Australia."
Emilio Romeo, Head of Ericsson Australia and New Zealand, says: "NBN Co's Fixed Wireless and Satellite Upgrade Program is an important part of Australia's digital evolution. After working with nbn for more than a decade, I'm pleased that Ericsson's technology continues to play a pivotal role in supporting the program to deliver better broadband services to people in regional Australia. With the extended range innovation showcased in Ericsson's industry-leading radio access and microwave transport solutions, more Australians will have access to faster fixed wireless broadband in more places around the country."
The partnership sees Ericsson become the sole supplier of 4G and 5G radio access and microwave transport solutions. Deployed solutions will include Ericsson's 4G and 5G antenna-integrated radios across nbn's current and future spectrum bands, and the latest Massive MIMO solutions providing best-in-class performance and energy efficiency in a lightweight small footprint form factor.
Also being deployed are Ericsson's latest high-powered 5G millimeter wave (mmWave) solutions, the latest RAN Processor for 4G and 5G, and MINI-LINK microwave transport solutions such as dual carrier solutions in traditional frequency bands, all outdoor E-band, and long-haul.
Ericsson's extended-range innovation will enable NBN Co to expand its Fixed Wireless network cell range from 14 km to 29 km.
By utilizing the latest 4G and 5G solutions, including 5G in nbn's mmWave spectrum band, the upgrade program aims to support higher speeds in the fixed wireless network and deliver improved customer experiences. Importantly, the new infrastructure will also support a future upgrade from 4G to 5G for nbn's existing spectrum bands.

The purpose of this research is the mechanical characterisation of multicrystalline silicon crystallised from silicon feedstock with a high content of aluminium for photovoltaic applications. The mechanical strength, fracture toughness and elastic modulus were measured at different positions within the multicrystalline silicon block to quantify the impact of the segregation of impurities on these mechanical properties. Aluminium segregated to the top of the block and caused extensive micro-cracking of the silicon matrix due to the thermal mismatch between silicon and the aluminium inclusions. Silicon nitride inclusions reduced the fracture toughness and caused failure by radial cracking in its surroundings due to its thermal mismatch with silicon. However, silicon carbide increased the fracture toughness and elastic modulus of silicon.


CHARLESTON — West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey has started the process of distributing more than $235,000 to consumers victimized by a kitchen hardware manufacturing and sales company, a business the Attorney General accused of violating the state's consumer protection law and telemarketing act.
NuWave, LLC, formerly known as Hearthware, LLC, manufactures cookware and kitchen hardware, selling to consumers primarily through telemarketing — sometimes done through outside vendors. The Attorney General alleged neither NuWave nor its vendors were registered and bonded as telemarketers with the West Virginia Tax Department.
The Attorney General's Office reached a $320,000 settlement with NuWave. The majority of those funds go to restitution for 5,437 affected consumers, who should receive their checks in the next several weeks.
The lawsuit alleged NuWave used high-pressure sales pitches and deceptive "buy one, get one free" offers on a particular kitchen hardware product.
While the second item in the promotion was offered at no cost, NuWave allegedly raised shipping and processing fees, effectively making consumers pay for their "free" item. The buy one, get one sale was allegedly misrepresented as a short-term special offer, a tactic used to pressure consumers into making a purchase.
The settlement terms included NuWave's agreement to refrain from the use of high shipping and processing fees or other hidden fees for "free" items in buy one get one offers for West Virginia consumers.

NFL's ultimate choke artists outdo themselves in 'brutal, awful' 441-game first
The Dallas Cowboys made magic happen.Source: AFP
AFP, with staff writers from Fox Sports
The Atlanta Falcons are no strangers to blowing leads, but looking at Monday's capitulation against the Dallas Cowboys, even they will be confused as to how they managed to do it.
The Falcons led 20-0 in the first quarter, and 39-24 early in the fourth, but managed to fall to a 40-39 defeat as the Cowboys earned their first win of the season.
Matt Ryan threw for 273 yards and four touchdowns, with no interceptions. Before today, teams were 440-0 when scoring 39 points with 0 turnovers since 1933, per ESPN Stats and Info.
While the Falcons offence certainly wasn't the problem, their defence went from heroes to zeros as they allowed Dak Prescott to bring his team back from the brink of disaster.
Second Round Playoffs

Jan 23 12:15pm AEST
Jan 24 10:30am AEST
Despite early turnovers and failed trick plays hurting the Cowboys, Prescott passed for one touchdown and rushed for three to go with his 450 yards in the air.
Per NFL Research, no player in the Super Bowl era had ever tallied 300+ passing yards and three rushing touchdowns in a game.
Prescott accomplished that in the second half alone.
Dallas coach Mike McCarthy, who had been in the firing line after the Cowboys opening week loss to the Los Angeles Rams, looked to be in for more hard questions as the Falcons opened up 39-24 lead early in the fourth quarter.
After Younghoe Koo's field goal put Atlanta fifteen points up, the game looked to be safe for the Falcons.
But Prescott hit Dalton Schultz for a 10-yard touchdown with just under five minutes remaining before rushing from one yard out to cut the Falcons' lead to 39-37.
Dallas then incredibly recovered an onside kick to regain possession from the restart, and Prescott drove his team into position for Greg Zuerlein's winning kick.
BRADY GETS FIRST BUCS WIN
Tom Brady bounced back from his opening week disappointment as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Carolina Panthers 31-17 in the NFL on Sunday.
Brady — who suffered a mauling in a debut loss to the New Orleans Saints last week — showed flashes of his old self in a solid victory at the Raymond James Stadium.
The six-time Super Bowl champion, who joined Tampa Bay in March after ending a 20-year career with the New England Patriots, threw for 217 yards with one touchdown from 23 completions.
The Buccaneers had taken control of the contest in the first half, racing into a 14-0 first quarter lead with a close-range rushing touchdown from Ronald Jones before Brady connected with Mike Evans from 23 yards for a second score.
Newly signed running back Leonard Fournette then barrelled over from one yard out to make it 21-0 at halftime.
The Panthers responded with a Christian McCaffrey touchdown in the third quarter and the Carolina running back added a second early in the fourth quarter to close the gap to 21-14.
But a Ryan Succop field goal gave Tampa Bay a 10-point advantage before another late Fournette rushing touchdown, galloping into the end zone from 46 yards, made the game safe.
KANSAS SURVIVES ROOKIE SHOW
The Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs were pushed all the way before snatching a 23-20 overtime victory against the Chargers at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
The Chargers were forced into a late change at quarterback when rookie Justin Herbert was named to start in place of the injured Tyrod Taylor.
The 22-year-old dazzled on his debut, scoring a touchdown from four yards out after leading a 79-yard opening drive, and finishing with 311 passing yards.
Herbert's heroics were not enough to hold off the Chiefs however, who eventually sealed victory in overtime with Harrison Butker's 58-yard field goal.
Mahomes was the saviour for the Chiefs, engineering the team into field goal position at the end of regulation, allowing Butker to tie the game at 20-20, before setting up the win in overtime.
RODGERS ROLLING FOR PACKERS
Aaron Rodgers led the Green Bay Packers to another high-scoring victory in a 42-21 rout of the Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field.
Rodgers, who had dazzled last week in the Packers' opening 43-34 win over Minnesota, finished with 240 passing yards and threw for two touchdowns in a win that leaves Green Bay on top of the NFC North.
Rodgers' aerial threat was complemented by an impressive rushing display from running back Aaron Jones, who finished with two touchdowns and 168 yards, including a 75-yard sprint for a touchdown in the third quarter to make it 24-14.
