I told you so

Resveratrol is a polyphenol—a type of plant-based antioxidant—found in many foods, not just red wine. It is produced by plants to fight fungal infection, stress, and UV radiation. [1]  
Top Food Sources of Resveratrol (Besides Red Wine) 

• Berries: Blueberries, cranberries, bilberries, and mulberries are significant sources. 
• Red Grapes and Juice: The skin of red and purple grapes holds high concentrations (50-100 micrograms per gram). 
• Peanuts & Peanut Butter: Peanuts, particularly boiled, provide a good source. 
• Pistachios: These nuts are a rich source of resveratrol. 
• Dark Chocolate & Cocoa: High-cocoa content products contain small amounts. 
• Japanese Knotweed: This plant is often used in natural supplements due to its very high resveratrol concentration. [2, 3, 4, 5, 6]  

Key Facts on Resveratrol 

• Trans-Resveratrol: This is the most studied, biologically active form, available in many supplements. 
• Skin/Roots: It is primarily found in the skin of fruits and the roots of plants. 
• Alternatives to Alcohol: Consuming whole fruits like grapes or berries is recommended to get resveratrol without alcohol. 
• Health Focus: It is researched for antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cardiovascular benefits. [2, 6, 7, 8, 9]

Planning commission

**Summary of the City of Topeka Planning Commission Meeting (May 18, 2026)**

This is a recording of the City of Topeka Planning Commission's regular meeting, held virtually. It covers standard procedural items and several development-related action items.

### Key Agenda Items and Proceedings:
- **Call to Order, Roll Call, and Approvals**: The meeting opened with procedural steps. Nine commissioners were present (quorum established). Minutes from the March 16, 2026 meeting were unanimously approved. Commissioners declared no major conflicts of interest (one noted minor involvement with a project but no bias).

- **Item D1: P26/02 – Shorey Estates Subdivision No. 2 (Topeka Habitat for Humanity)**: A replat of ~4.4 acres in North Topeka (near NW Tyler and Lyman Road) to create **21 lots** for detached single-family homes. This builds on a previously approved Planned Unit Development (PUD) master plan from late 2025, allowing smaller R-2 zoned lots with variances (e.g., reduced setbacks and right-of-way widths). Stormwater is managed via easements with specific landscaping/plantings (not full detention basins). Staff recommended approval (with a condition for final stormwater plan acceptance). The applicant's consultant (Lance Onstott, PEC) and Habitat representatives were present. No major changes from prior approvals; the item focused on refinements for housing delivery and stormwater compliance.

- **Item D2: PUD26/01 (Noller-Topeka Properties LC)**: Request to amend a PUD master plan at SW 21st Street & Topeka Boulevard, incorporating additional land and changing zoning to allow automotive uses.

- **Item D3: CU26/02 (Camrond Jacobs)**: A conditional use request (details not fully expanded in the early transcript).

- **Item D4: 2027-2036 Capital Improvement Program**: Presentation and discussion of the city's long-term CIP.

- **Other Business**: Report from the Special Committee on Housing and general communications to the commission. The meeting adjourned after these items.

### Overall Context:
The meeting emphasized orderly community growth, public input procedures (limited to 4 minutes per speaker), and housing/development projects. Much of the early discussion centered on the Habitat for Humanity subdivision as an affordable housing effort using creative compliance with zoning and stormwater rules. No public testimony details are highlighted in the available transcript snippet, and the video appears routine with low viewership.

The full ~1-hour video follows the agenda timestamps in the description. For a deeper dive into specific items, the agenda packet is available on Topeka Speaks.

Subject: SCLA Meeting Reminder
 
SCLA Members,

Sending a reminder of tonight's meeting.  6:30pm at the Golden Corral.  Ed Jaskinia, our TALK lobbyist will be our speaker.  There was a lot of legislation that affected landlords this year, so we should have a lot to talk about.  Get there early to eat.  Bring a friend.  The City has a housing survey going on right now.  I would encourage you to fill it out and make your voice heard.  Here is the link to the survey:  https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/topekaks2026

ICSC

Based on 2026 data, attendance at ICSC Las Vegas 2026 (formerly known as the ICSC convention) is projected to be very strong, with expectations of over 30,000 to 34,000+ attendees. The event, held May 18–20, 2026, at the Las Vegas Convention Center, is considered the premier commercial real estate event of the year, focusing on deal-making and networking. 

• Attendance Levels: The event is expected to draw over 30,000 participants from across the US and international markets, including retailers, landlords, brokers, and developers. 
• Industry Focus: Attendance is highly senior-level, with more than 25,000 decision-makers, including leasing directors and investors, converging for the event. 
• Significance: The conference is seen as a key indicator of the commercial real estate market, with 2026 numbers matching or exceeding previous high turnouts. [1, 4, 6, 7, 8]  

Note: For 2026, ICSC LAS VEGAS is often referred to in the context of the retail real estate industry, not to be confused with the 48th International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE), which is also scheduled for 2026. [4, 9]
