Cinnamon Bread is a sweet, quick bread that features a flavor combination of cinnamon and sugar that’s topped with a creamy vanilla glaze! A SWEET QUICK BREAD RECIPE This soft and simple Cinnamon Bread is perfect to serve at brunches, as dessert, or even breakfast! It’s super quick to put together and tastes amazing warm or room temperature! I absolutely love to make quick breads. They are so easy, no yeast is involved and anyone can make them with the simplest of ingredients! Also did I mention the house smells incredible while this is baking?! FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:  Is the cinnamon flavor of this Cinnamon Bread really strong No, actually this bread has a mild cinnamon flavor. It’s not bold or overpowering. It doesn’t make you feel like you bit into a cinnamon stick. However, you can totally amps up the cinnamon flavor by simply adding more cinnamon. How do I know when the Cinnamon Sugar Bread is done? The best way to tell the bread is done is by doing a toothpick test. Stick a toothpick into the bread at the top, if it comes out clean with a few crumbs then it’s done. If it comes out with batter, then it will need at least a few more minutes to bake. Is the cinnamon and sugar on the top supposed to stay mostly dry? Great question. Yes, if it stays mostly dry it is totally fine. Also, know that some will fall down on the edges of the bread making the edges look darker or burnt, but it’s not actually burnt, it’s simply darker because of the cinnamon and sugar and how those look when baked. So keep that in mind when making this bread. How do you store leftovers of this quick bread? Save any leftovers in an airtight container and keep it at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE) granulated sugar ground cinnamon all purpose flour light brown sugar large egg whole milk vegetable oil vanilla extract HOW TO MAKE CINNAMON BREAD Preheat the oven to 350℉ and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. NoteL The parchment paper just helps with easier removal after it is done baking. If you don’t want to use parchment paper, just spray well with nonstick cooking spray (I prefer the kind that has flour in it – like Baker’s Joy). In a small bowl, add the granulated sugar and cinnamon then stir together. Set aside. In a bowl, add all purpose flour, brown sugar and baking powder and stir well to combine. Then make a well (a large dip) in the middle of the dry ingredients and add the egg, milk, vegetable oil and vanilla extract. Stir together until combined well. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan, then sprinkle ¾ of the cinnamon sugar mixture on top of the batter. Add the rest of the batter over the cinnamon sugar mixture, and then sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon sugar mixture on top. Bake for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool before slicing and serving.

Donald Sutherland’s son, Kiefer Sutherland, announced his passing on social media, with talent agency CAA clarifying that the actor died after a long-running illness. Although details about his health condition were not stated, the iconic actor battled respiratory issues for years and lived on an oxygen tank and tube in his final days. Taking to X, Kiefer shared a black and white throwback father-and-son photo, calling Donald “one of the most important actors in the history of film.” He also noted that Donald loved working and echoed the undeniable sentiment that he delivered excellently in every role he played.

Some of Sutherland’s incredible filmography, noted by a fan, includes Klute, Hunger Games, Don’t Look Now, Animal House, and M*A*S*H. RELATED: Donald Sutherland Dies At 88 After Long Battle With Illness Another gushed about his “beautiful, melodic, smooth and captivating” voice, adding that anyone who heard it surely became “mesmerized.” “Didn’t matter who else was in that scene with him. All eyes were always on THE Donald Sutherland. He will forever be deeply missed,” the user gushed.

Nevertheless, he experienced several health issues, such as hepatitis, and later developed a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which made him dependent on an oxygen tank until his death.

His other four children include Kiefer’s twin sister Rachel, Roeg, Rossif, and Angus from his marriages to Shirley Douglas and Francine Racette.

Astronauts are considered by many to be an elite bunch of people; healthy, fit and capable in many disciplines. Went they travel into space they can face health issues related to weightlessness from reduction in bone density to issues with their eyesight. These are people at the peak of physical fitness but what will happen to the rest of us when space tourism really kicks off. It is likely that anyone with underlying health issues could worsen in space. A new study suggests those with cardiovascular issues may suffer heart failure in space! Space travel and automatic intelligence (AI) are two fabulously interesting topics. Combine them and you have a fascinating story. Dr Lex Van Loon from the Australian National University has been using AI and mathematical models to explore human physiology and the impact of space exploration. In a recent study he created digitally identical AI twins, one with an underlying heart condition.  The interest driving the study is the advancement toward space tourism and the opening up of space to those less physically fit than astronauts. As space travel becomes more available to the mass population we will start to see a shift in demographic of space travellers to older, more wealthy individuals but they are more likely to have health issues. We will eventually see people with a whole multitude of conditions wanting to holiday in space, but what are the likely impacts.  ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst gets a workout on the Advanced Resistive Exercise Device (ARED). Credit: NASA Microgravity causes a redistribution of fluids around the body and can cause conditions like ‘puffy face bird leg syndrome.’ The name aptly describes the effect, the face swells up and the legs thin. It results in an increase in venous pressure in the upper body, this is fine for healthy people but heart failure sufferers are at a much higher risk. Given that there are over 100 million people around the world that suffer heart failure it is essential this is explored.  Looking at the wide spectrum of heard failure, conditions can be grouped into two categories; a weak hart that cannot pump effectively and a heart that cannot relax and fill properly. All possible conditions need to be studied with specific ways to treat and mitigate the risk during space travel.  This is a study that is difficult to collect real data in space so we have to turn to computer modelling to simulate the effects. The team led by Dr Loon showed that a microgravity environment leads to an increase in cardiac output (the quantity of blood pumped by the heart in a given period of time.) This is not a problem for most people but with heart failure patients it is accompanied by a rise in pressure in the left atrial region of the heart, to dangerous levels. If left unchecked, it can lead to a condition where fluid accumulates in the lungs known as a pulmonary edema, making it difficult to breathe! With the increase in corporate interest in space travel, space tourism is slowly becoming a reality. People can already pay for trips into space but as costs come down, the number of people heading out into space will increase. Eventually, trips into space will be as common as trips to other countries. It is imperative we understand the impact on our health and what we can do to make space as widely accessible as possible without putting our health at risk.  Source : Heart failure in space: scientists calculate potential health threats facing future space tourists in microgravity The post Will Space Tourists Be Getting Heart Attacks in Space? appeared first on Universe Today.
