Waffles

Waffles were invented in Medieval Europe, with their origins dating back to the 9th or 10th century in what is now France and Belgium. These early versions were simple, flat cakes made of grain and water, cooked between two metal plates called "gaufriers" over an open fire. Over time, the designs on the irons became more complex, and the batter evolved to include things like honey and spices. 

• Ancient roots: The concept of cooking a flat cake between two grids over a fire is believed to have originated with the ancient Greeks. 
• Medieval development: In Medieval Europe, these flat cakes were called "wafers" and spread throughout the continent. The Dutch and Belgians were particularly influential in their evolution. 
• Modernization: As waffle irons became more intricate, the patterns became more defined. The word "waffle" itself came from the Dutch word "wafel," which English speakers adopted in the early 1700s. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

Notice: -----This message was sent by an external sender-----

 

Five reasons commonly cited by opponents, particularly Kansas law enforcement and some medical groups, for not approving medical marijuana in the state are:

  1. Public Safety Concerns (Impaired Driving): Opponents argue that legalizing medical marijuana could lead to an increase in individuals driving under the influence of cannabis, posing a greater risk to public safety through impaired coordination and slower reaction times.
  2. Increased Crime and Organized Activity: The Kansas Attorney General's office and KBI have stated that legalizing marijuana, even for medical purposes, could invite organized crime and black-market activity into the state, as well as increase the need for law enforcement resources and equipment (like new K-9 units).
  3. Potential for Broader Recreational Use and Abuse: Concerns exist that a medical marijuana program could be a "slippery slope" or "red-herring" leading to full recreational legalization in the future, which opponents believe would cause increased abuse, particularly among young adults and veterans, and a lower public perception of harm.
  4. Lack of FDA Approval and Insufficient Research: Many medical professionals and law enforcement groups argue that marijuana has not undergone the rigorous clinical trials required for U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval, which ensures safety, efficacy, and standardized dosing. Currently, it remains a Schedule I controlled substance under federal law, which opponents cite as a reason to question its medical legitimacy.
  5. Negative Health and Social Effects: Opponents point to potential adverse health consequences associated with marijuana use, including links to mental health issues like psychosis and depression, respiratory problems from smoking, the risk of addiction, and a negative impact on cognitive function and workplace performance. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]

Fail

Who are the best failures

While there is no exact annual number for new coffee ventures that fail, studies indicate high failure rates: some sources report that around 75% of new coffee shops fail within the first year, while others suggest a failure rate of over 50% within five years. This is higher than general small business averages due to factors like intense competition and challenges with financial management, operational efficiency, and customer retention. [1, 2, 3, 4]  
First-year failure 

• Estimates suggest 75% of new coffee shops fail within the first year. 
• Other data points estimate the first-year failure rate is closer to 56%. 
• This is significantly higher than the general small business failure rate, which is about 20% in the first year. [2, 3, 4, 5]  

Five-year failure 

• It is estimated that roughly 50% of new coffee shops fail within the first five years. 
• Some surveys of coffee shop owners believe that a figure as high as 56% to 73% will fail within five years. 
• Again, this is higher than the general small business failure rate, which is around 50% after five years. [1, 2, 5, 6]  

Reasons for failure 

• Competition: High saturation in the market. 
• Financial management: Poor cash flow, under-capitalization, and mismanaging costs. 
• Operational efficiency: Lack of consistent management and oversight. 
• Location: Choosing a location without sufficient research. 
• Customer retention: Failing to build a loyal customer base. 
• Lack of unique selling proposition: Not having a clear niche or unique offering. [1, 2, 5, 7, 8]

Facebook

The ability to share pages has been removed or moved for many users, often due to changes in the Facebook platform's design, particularly on desktop and older app versions. While the direct "Share to Page" option may be gone, a common workaround is to copy the post's URL, paste it into a new post on the other page, and wait for the preview image to load before deleting the URL. Some features, like sharing a post to another page you manage, are still available on newer mobile apps or specific business tools, and require certain permissions. [1, 2, 3, 4]  
Workaround for sharing posts 

• Go to the original post and click the date or time to get a direct URL for the post. 
• Copy the URL from your browser. 
• Go to the page you want to share the post to and start a new post. 
• Paste the URL into the new post and wait for the image preview to load. 
• Delete the URL from the text box, as the preview will remain. 
• Write your own text and then share the post. [1, 3]  

Other potential reasons and solutions 

• Platform changes: Facebook has updated its interface, and the "Share to Page" option has been removed from the desktop site for many users. 
• App version: The feature may still be available on newer versions of the mobile app, such as the Lite app. 
• Permissions: If you are trying to share as a business, ensure you have the correct permissions in Meta Business Suite to manage and publish content for the pages involved. 
• Privacy settings: Some pages have settings that restrict sharing, although this is more common for personal profiles and private groups than for pages you own and manage. 
• Technical issues: There could be a temporary issue with Facebook's service, and the ability to share may return later. You can try checking for updates to the Facebook app or logging out and back in. [1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]

Pomegranate

Urolithin A is a natural compound produced by gut bacteria from foods like pomegranates, and it shows potential benefits for health by supporting mitochondrial function, improving muscle strength, and reducing inflammation. While human studies suggest it is safe, some people may experience mild digestive side effects like nausea or bloating. It is not considered a treatment but rather a potential dietary intervention to support overall health and slow age-related decline. [1]  
Benefits 

• Mitochondrial health: Urolithin A promotes mitophagy, the process of clearing out damaged mitochondria, and enhances overall mitochondrial function, which is linked to a wide range of age-related diseases. 
• Muscle health: By improving mitochondrial function, it can lead to increased muscle strength and resistance to fatigue. It may also be beneficial in conditions with muscle atrophy by stimulating protein synthesis. 
• Immune system: Some recent clinical trials suggest Urolithin A can lead to a more youthful and resilient immune system with improved T cell responsiveness and reduced inflammation markers. 
• Inflammation: It acts as a natural free radical scavenger and has anti-inflammatory properties that may protect against cellular damage. 
• Metabolic health: It may help with metabolic effects such as improved insulin sensitivity and reduced fatty liver. [1, 2]  

Potential side effects 

• While generally considered safe, some individuals may experience mild digestive symptoms like bloating, nausea, or stomach upset. [3]  

Safety and effectiveness 

• Safety: Studies have found it safe in doses up to mg per day, but individual responses can vary. 
• Effectiveness: It is considered more suited for prevention than treatment of age-related diseases, and benefits may be maximized by starting earlier in life. [3, 4]  

How to get urolithin A 

• Naturally: You can get urolithin A by eating foods that contain ellagitannins and ellagic acid, such as pomegranates, berries, and nuts, though the production in the gut varies by individual. 
• Supplements: Urolithin A is available as a dietary supplement. [1, 5]

🥤 🥤

The coffee industry has a massive economic impact, supporting over 2.2 million U.S. jobs and generating over $343 billion in economic activity in the United States alone. Globally, the market is worth an estimated $256.29 billion as of 2025, supporting approximately 125 million jobs worldwide. However, it also has environmental and social impacts, including potential deforestation, pollution from pesticides, and concerns about worker conditions in some regions. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]  
United States economic impact 

• Economic contribution: $343.2 billion 
• Jobs: Over 2.2 million 
• Wages: Over $101.2 billion 
• Taxes: Nearly $38 billion in federal, state, and local taxes [1, 2, 3]  

Global economic impact 

• Market value: $256.29 billion as of 2025 
• Jobs: Approximately 125 million, with many working on small farms 
• Consumption: Around 2 billion cups consumed daily worldwide [4, 5, 6]  

Environmental and social impacts 

• Deforestation and pollution: Traditional farming methods can lead to deforestation, habitat destruction, and pollution from pesticides and fertilizers. 
• Water quality: Caffeine in wastewater is a pollutant that water treatment plants have difficulty completely filtering.

Sweet potato pie

Sweet potatoes provide significant health benefits, including high levels of vitamins A and C, potassium, and fiber. These nutrients support vision, immune function, skin health, blood pressure regulation, and digestive health. They may also help manage blood sugar and have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]  
Immune system and vision 

• Rich in Vitamin A: Sweet potatoes are an excellent source of beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A. Vitamin A is crucial for a healthy immune system and good vision, and it can help protect against eye diseases. 
• Supports skin health: Vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage and is essential for collagen production, which is vital for wound healing and skin health. [1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8]  

Heart health 

• Potassium content: They are high in potassium, which helps regulate blood pressure and is important for heart, muscle, and nerve function. 
• Fiber: The fiber in sweet potatoes can help lower blood cholesterol and blood glucose levels. 
• Antioxidants: The antioxidants in sweet potatoes can help reduce inflammation, which is a risk factor for heart disease. [1, 3, 4, 6]  

Digestive health 

• High in fiber: Both soluble and insoluble fiber are beneficial for digestion. Soluble fiber helps lower blood sugar and cholesterol, while insoluble fiber promotes regular bowel movements. 
• Resistant starch: Sweet potatoes contain resistant starch, which acts as a prebiotic. It is fermented by beneficial gut bacteria, producing short-chain fatty acids that improve digestive health. [1, 4, 8, 9]  

Other benefits 

• Blood sugar management: Despite being starchy, sweet potatoes can help manage blood sugar. When boiled, they have a low glycemic index, meaning they raise blood sugar levels more slowly than high-glycemic foods. 
• Weight management: The high fiber content helps you feel full longer, which can aid in weight management. 
• Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory: Sweet potatoes are packed with antioxidants that protect against cell damage from free radicals. Chronic inflammation is linked to various health problems, including heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. [1, 4, 5, 6, 7]

New tools 🔧

A nut milk maker is an automatic appliance that blends nuts, seeds, or grains with water to create homemade, plant-based milk. These machines typically have built-in filters, and many models can also be used to make soups, smoothies, or other beverages, with some featuring a heater for making hot drinks or cooking. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]  
You can watch this video to see how a nut milk maker works: 
How it works 

• You add your ingredients, such as nuts and water, into the machine. 
• The machine then blends them together, often with a set of sharp blades. 
• The built-in filter separates the liquid milk from the leftover pulp. 
• Some machines have a hot function, which can heat the ingredients to make things like hot chocolate or to help cook other recipes. [1, 3, 6, 7, 8]  

Key features and benefits 

• Versatility: Many models can also be used to make other items like soups, juices, and smoothies. 
• Customization: You can control the ingredients and flavorings, ensuring your milk is free of preservatives and additives. 
• Convenience: Some machines offer automatic self-cleaning cycles and delay-start functions, so your milk can be ready when you wake up. 
• Efficiency: Many new models have designs that eliminate the need for a separate soaking step, making the process faster. [1, 2, 5, 9, 10, 11]

Go Green

The best time to drink green tea for weight loss is in the morning or early afternoon, preferably an hour or two before or after meals, to maximize metabolic and fat-burning benefits without interfering with iron absorption or sleep. Drinking it before a workout can also boost performance and calorie burn, while drinking it after a workout helps replenish the body. [1, 2, 3, 4]  
Recommended times and why 

• In the morning or early afternoon: Green tea's caffeine can boost metabolism and energy levels, making it a good alternative to coffee. This timing also helps ensure you don't consume it too close to bedtime, which could disrupt sleep. 
• Between meals: Drink green tea about one to two hours before or after eating to avoid the tannins, which can inhibit the absorption of minerals like iron. 
• Before or after a workout: Consuming green tea before exercise can increase fat burning and endurance, while drinking it afterward can help replenish your body and refresh you. [1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7]  

Times to avoid 

• Right before bed: Avoid green tea in the hours leading up to bedtime because the caffeine can interfere with sleep and lead to nighttime awakenings. 
• On an empty stomach: For some people, green tea on an empty stomach can cause stomach irritation or heartburn due to increased stomach acid. It's best to have a light snack or breakfast first. 
• With meals: Drinking green tea with meals can hinder your body's ability to absorb iron and other nutrients. [1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]

Green

Yes, green tea may help with weight loss by boosting your metabolism and increasing fat burning, primarily due to its high levels of catechins and caffeine. However, the effects are modest, and green tea is most effective as a supplement to a healthy diet and exercise plan, not as a magic bullet for weight loss. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]  
How green tea can help 

• Boosts metabolism: The combination of caffeine and catechins, particularly EGCG, may increase your metabolic rate, which helps burn more calories. 
• Increases fat burning: Studies suggest that green tea can promote the breakdown of fat cells (fat oxidation). 
• Reduces calorie intake: Swapping high-calorie, sugary drinks for green tea can significantly cut your calorie and sugar intake, supporting a calorie deficit needed for weight loss. 
• May reduce belly fat: Some research indicates that green tea may help reduce body fat, including in the abdomen. [1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8]  

Important considerations 

• Brewed tea vs. extract: The most significant weight loss effects seen in studies have been with concentrated green tea extracts, not necessarily with a few cups of brewed green tea. 
• Modest effects: Even in studies that show a benefit, the amount of weight lost is often small and may not be clinically significant. 
• Individual differences: Results can vary due to factors like genetics, lifestyle, and how the tea is prepared. 
• Best as a supplement: Green tea should be part of a larger weight loss strategy that includes a healthy diet and regular exercise. It is not a standalone weight loss solution. [2, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12]  

How to get the most out of green tea 

• Drink 2-5 cups a day: Some research suggests this amount can provide the most benefits. 
• Avoid sugar: Don't add sugar or honey, as this will add extra calories. 
• Consider matcha: Matcha is made from the whole tea leaf and contains higher levels of antioxidants compared to steeped green tea. 
• Be mindful of caffeine: Avoid drinking it too close to bedtime. [2, 11, 13, 14]

Coffee ☕️

Starbucks is the most profitable coffee company in America based on revenue, with 2024 revenue of $36.2 billion. It leads the market in both revenue and store locations, significantly outpacing its closest competitors in the United States. 

• Revenue: Starbucks' annual revenue of $36.2 billion in 2024 makes it the largest coffee company in the US by revenue, according to pass_by (https://passby.com/blog/top-10-coffee-chains-in-the-us/) and Coffeeness (https://www.coffeeness.de/en/biggest-coffee-companies/). 
• Market presence: The company has a vast number of stores, with more than half of its 32,000+ global locations in the US.

Bone brorh

Dr. Steven Gundry views bone broth as a potentially beneficial addition to a diet, especially for supporting bones, joints, and fighting inflammation, though he advises caution regarding potential heavy metal contamination and the lack of robust scientific evidence for some gut health claims. He emphasizes that bone broth should be organic and consumed as part of a varied diet, not as a sole source of nutrition. [1, 2, 3]  
Potential benefits 

• Supports bones and joints: Dr. Gundry notes that organic bone broths contain beneficial nutrients that can help improve bone and joint health. 
• Fights inflammation: He suggests bone broth is a good choice to include in a diet of other anti-inflammatory foods. [3]  

Considerations and precautions 

• Heavy metal risk: Be aware of the potential for heavy metals, which can seep from the animal bones into the broth during cooking. 
• Lack of robust scientific evidence: While some rodent studies show potential benefits for digestive health, there is currently no strong scientific evidence to confirm that bone broth changes the gut microbiome in humans. 
• Part of a varied diet: Bone broth should be consumed alongside other foods to ensure you get a complete range of necessary nutrients. Avoid relying on it as a sole source of nutrition. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Hi Henry, 

Please consider using your talents to assist the CAC membership when it comes to addressing housing and economic development. There is value in having an experienced person, like yourself, providing neighborhood leaders with suggestions on how to move forward with promoting their neighborhoods, addressing affordable housing, and improving economic development. CAC membership votes on programs that use Community Development Block Grants. The membership needs people who can work toward changing the current outcomes of such programs. There needs to be improved measures for each housing program as well as the scoring rubric of the DREAMS projects. What are your thoughts to help change the status quo?

Mayor Padilla never filled all three at-large positions to be appointed by the mayor despite requests to do so. See Topeka Municipal Code 2.25.040 for more details. One at-large member must come from a low to moderate income (LMI) area not represented by a certified Neighborhood Improvement Association. Two at-large members must come from disciplines such as construction trades, architecture, appraising, real estate sales, public finance, mortgage lending, legal, real estate development, residential property management, commercial banking, construction material suppliers, fundraising, neighborhood planning, zoning, engineering, health or education.

There is a NIA representative position on the Land Bank Board of Trustees and the current person, ShaMecha King Simms, is stepping down at the end of 2025. Today, I sent out a soliciting email to the CAC membership and NIA President and Vice Presidents in an attempt to fill the position prior to 2026.

Sandra Batts is the representative on the Topeka Housing Authority Review Committee.
