Cajun Shrimp and Corn Chowder is a hearty soup for cold weather with chunks of potato and salty pieces of bacon. Serve with a crusty piece of bread for a comforting cold weather meal. The weather in South Carolina has been absolutely frigid the last few days and I know it is even colder in many areas of the country. Defintely soup weather!! When it comes to soups I favor thick‚ hearty‚ and creamy chowder-type soups and shrimp and corn is probably my favorite combination. This Cajun Shrimp and Corn Chowder is also spicy so it will really warm you up! This chowder is perfectly seasoned with Cajun seasoning‚ garlic‚ and thyme . There’s also some sweet onion‚ green onion‚ red bell pepper‚ and celery. Type Of Corn To Use And of course corn is one of the best complements for shrimp. In the winter‚ when corn is out of season‚ use frozen corn. But fresh corn is even more delicious if it is available. You can use canned corn in a pinch. The corn gives just a touch of sweetness to contrast the spiciness of the cajun seasonings and the saltiness of the bacon. What Makes A Chowder a Chowder? Chowder is characterized by its creamy and thick consistency‚ typically achieved by adding flour or a roux to the base of the soup. It often includes chunks of vegetables‚ seafood‚ or other proteins‚ and is commonly seasoned with herbs and spices. Chowder is known for its comforting and hearty nature‚ making it a perfect choice for colder weather. How To Make Shrimp Chowder Soup To make shrimp chowder soup‚ start by cooking chopped bacon in a large Dutch oven until crisp. Remove the bacon and set it aside. Keep the bacon grease in the pot and add peeled and deveined shrimp along with Cajun seasoning. Cook the shrimp until they turn pink‚ then remove them and set them aside. In the same pot‚ add chopped onion‚ red bell pepper‚ and celery‚ and cook for 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and cook for another minute. Gradually whisk in chicken broth‚ then add remaining Cajun seasoning‚ dried thyme‚ black pepper‚ cubed potatoes‚ and corn. Bring to a boil‚ then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes until the potatoes are soft. Stir in heavy cream and simmer for a few more minutes. Finally‚ stir in the cooked shrimp and bacon. Serve in bowls‚ garnished with sliced green onions. Enjoy your homemade shrimp chowder soup!

SCRANTON‚ PA — Female athlete Kelly Baker was expelled from her university this week after refusing to have her skull fractured by a man‚ reports claim. During a press conference‚ she was officially rebuked as a bigot which‚ according to NCAA guidelines‚ bars her from joining a competing school.

Someday‚ in the not-too-distant future‚ humans may send robotic probes to explore nearby star systems. These robot explorers will likely take the form of lightsails and wafercraft (a la Breakthrough Starshot) that will rely on directed energy (lasers) to accelerate to relativistic speeds – aka. a fraction of the speed of light. With that kind of velocity‚ lightsails and watercraft could make the journey across interstellar space in a matter of decades instead of centuries (or longer!) Given time‚ these missions could serve as pathfinders for more ambitious exploration programs involving astronauts. Of course‚ any talk of interstellar travel must consider the massive technical challenges this entails. In a recent paper‚ a team of engineers and astrophysicists considered the effects that relativistic space travel will have on communications. Their results showed that during the cruise phase of the mission (where a spacecraft is traveling close to the speed of light)‚ communications become problematic for one-way and two-way transmissions. This will pose significant challenges for crewed missions but will leave robotic missions largely unaffected. The team consisted of David Messerschmitt‚ a Professor Emeritus of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of California at Berkeley; Ian Morrison‚ at Curtin University’s International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) and the communications and signal processing developer Astro Signal Pty Ltd; Thomas Mozdzen‚ a research scientist in the School of Earth and Space Exploration at Arizona State University; and Philip Lubin‚ a professor of physics and the head of the Experimental Cosmology Group at UC Santa Barbara. The preprint of their paper recently appeared online and is being reviewed for publication by Elsevier. An artist’s illustration of a lightsail powered by a radio beam (red) generated on the surface of a planet. Credit: M. Weiss/CfA For their study‚ the team considered both robotic (uncrewed) and crewed mission profiles. The former consists of concepts similar to the Starshot and Directed Energy Propulsion for Interstellar Exploration (DEEP-In) – aka. Starlight – concepts. This latter concept is one that Prof. Lubin and his colleagues at UCSB Experimental Cosmology Group have been developing since 2014 through the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) program. However‚ their analysis differed since it considers scenarios where spacecraft are approaching the speed of light – rather than the 10% to 20% called for with the Starlight and Starshot concepts. For uncrewed missions‚ remote control operations and data transmission require reliable communications during certain phases. For crewed missions‚ however‚ maintaining persistent communications with home is crucial to the long-term well-being of astronauts. Regardless of the mission profile‚ communications invariably come down to transmissions in the electromagnetic spectrum (radio waves‚ lasers‚ etc.) and how they propagate through space. As the team told Universe Today via email: “The assumption we’re making is that communication signals are electromagnetic‚ hence conveyed via photons. This relates to the propagation speed of a communication signal‚ which relates to the propagation delay. The timing/latency relationships are independent of the wavelength and hence apply equally to radio‚ microwave‚ or optical.” Another key consideration is that communications at relativistic speeds must take into account the effects of Special Relativity. In short‚ a spacecraft traveling at a fraction of the speed of light will experience time dilation‚ where its internal clocks will be recording time more slowly than mission clocks on Earth. Another consideration is that communications to and from the mission will be subject to Doppler Shift. As Special Relativity teaches us‚ the speed of light is constant in a vacuum and does not speed up or slow down based on the motion of the observer or source. In this illustration‚ NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope is looking along the paths of NASA’s Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft as they journey into interstellar space. Credit: NASA‚ ESA‚ and Z. Levy (STScI) But if the space between objects is expanding‚ the wavelength of the light will be shifted towards the red end of the spectrum (aka. redshift). Their analysis found that the situation would be simpler for robotic missions‚ as communications are only required during the landing phase. However‚ for crewed missions‚ persistent communication is desirable for all phases of the mission‚ including the cruise phase (when the spacecraft will be accelerated to relativistic speed). In this case‚ said the team‚ problems emerged: “The main effects considered are large propagation delays together with the time dilation of clocks traveling at high speed. The analysis is from the point of view of a traveler at relativistic speed rather than an inertial observer (like in an astronomy observatory)‚ which to our knowledge‚ has not been considered previously in the literature. The results show that round-trip message latencies can be extremely high‚ rates of streaming media can be significantly slowed‚ and under certain circumstances‚ communications become impossible. Relativistic spacecraft and their astronauts must function largely autonomously.” These results have serious impluications about the feasibility of interstellar missions. The inability to maintain contact with Earth at certain periods in the mission‚ the difficulty of transmitting information‚ and the need for autonomy all present significant challenges. Under these circumstances‚ future generations may choose to restrict interstellar missions to robotic explorers. Alternately‚ they may choose to place crews in hiberation or cryogenic suspension so no communication is needed during the cruise phase. But as the team noted‚ their analysis comes down to quantifying the challenges of maintaining communications with a relativistic mission. This is absolutely necessary before any attempts can be made to plan for interstellar exploration. In addition‚ there are likely to be several innovations and changes between now and the day that human interstellar missions are being contemplated that could alter the picture. As they summarized: “[T]the design of any future interstellar missions involving astronauts‚ especially at greater distances‚ will be significantly affected by the limits to communications imposed by large distances and spacecraft speeds near the speed of light. While the analytical approach is general‚ the numerical results are applied to hypothetical future missions where humans travel at close to the speed of light. While such speeds are not feasible with current propulsion technologies‚ this may change. These speeds may not be necessary for human travel to the nearest stars‚ but would enable travel to much greater distances within a typical human lifetime.” Further Reading: arXiv The post Communicating With a Relativistic Spacecraft Gets Pretty Weird appeared first on Universe Today.

Where were the alerts while mass murderer rampaged across town?

Staind frontman Aaron Lewis has decided to postpone‚ on doctor’s orders‚ the remainder of his 2023 Country oriented solo “American Patriot Acoustic Tour.” The six shows have been pushed into next year. “Life has reminded me I’m creeping up on 52‚” explained Lewis in a statement. “After recording a new Staind album‚ a new solo album and playing 150-plus shows this year‚ my doctors have insisted I take this month off to give my voice some much needed rest before I do damage to my cords.” The post Staind’s Aaron Lewis Takes A Break appeared first on RockinTown.

Where were the alerts while mass murderer rampaged across town? Citizens of Austin‚ Texas‚ were not properly informed about a mass shooting taking place around them on Tuesday‚ according to complaints online. 34-year-old Shane James is the suspect arrested Tuesday night by Austin Police officers after he killed six people and injured three others‚ including two cops‚ in separate incidents taking place throughout the large city. Austin Police Department Austin Second Amendment activist‚ podcast host and gun shop owner Michael Cargill posted a timeline of the events on X Wednesday. In Austin‚ TX December 5th‚ 2023. Guy goes on an all day shooting spree. From shooting police officers to shooting cyclist on the road. Here is the timeline. •TBD – He kills 2 in Bexar County•10:40 a.m. – Austin AISD officer shot near Northeast Early College High School…— Michael Cargill (@michaeldcargill) December 6‚ 2023 As Cargill noted‚ the guy was able to go “on an all day shooting spree. From shooting police officers to shooting cyclist on the road.”Alex Jones' latest bestselling book 'The Great Awakening' is NOW AVAILABLE! Secure your limited edition autographed today! James reportedly killed both of his parents in San Antonio‚ Texas‚ before heading to an Austin high school and shooting and injuring a school officer. Over an hour after the high school shooting‚ James was said to have killed a man and woman in their home. The suspect then took a vehicle‚ shot and wounded a cyclist pedaling down a busy street‚ and tried entering another nearby home. Police responded to a “burglary” at the home and found James in the backyard where a shootout occurred. In the home‚ officers found two more dead individuals. An officer was shot and injured in that firefight and the suspect escaped‚ crashing his vehicle twenty minutes later during a police chase. James was apprehended after wrecking the vehicle. See a map of the shooting locations below: Cargill also blamed “the lack of transparency from AISD police” for the situation lasting all day. The lack of transparency from AISD police is why this continued as long as it did.— Michael Cargill (@michaeldcargill) December 6‚ 2023 Several locals vented their frustrations online about the lack of public warning. What’s the point of text message alerts if they aren’t being used for these types of situations? An alert should’ve been pushed out. No one is coming to save you… you need to acquire the means and the knowledge to defend your and your family plus at the very least‚ Stop the Bleed training. The people were killed before police arrived on scene‚ you are your own best first…— Dave (@dave_b52) December 6‚ 2023 i feel like alerts need to be sent out to the public about someone going around austin shooting people. was there no way to let people know to maybe stay indoors while this person was on the loose? i’m only just finding out about this— BAMBI. (@theeebambi2) December 6‚ 2023 Seems this news is all one day old. Were all Austin media on vacation the same day? Why wasn’t city on alert? Why didn’t I get a text message telling me to watch out?— Midas Touchez (@MidasTouchez) December 6‚ 2023 Can you or someone ask APD/AISDPD why a description of the shooter wasn’t released to the public especially after he was at large after shooting the AISD officer?The citizens of Austin deserve clarity on the lack of communication by APD &; AISD PD. https://t.co/jChVDwe3zc— Billy Franz (@MrBillyFranz) December 6‚ 2023 I didn’t get a single freaking alert— dude bro bro dude (@RealBurnmore) December 6‚ 2023 What pisses me off is I was all around this yesterday and I didn't hear anything on the radio or any alerts.— Trust No One! (@Ranchwater12) December 6‚ 2023 Literally my first time hearing about all of this— Kendall (@leweeVuitton) December 6‚ 2023 34 Year Old goes on a Grand Theft Auto shooting spree freakout in San Antonio and Austin. Kills six innocent people. Injures two police officers. I was watching the local news last night. And they barely grasped the entire story. But the Daily Mail covers it?…— Jon Bowne (@NewsBowne) December 6‚ 2023 I was all over town yesterday‚ and now I realize the ambulance I saw flying down I-35 around noon and the other ambulance I saw entering Mopac around 4:45 were likely related to this same rampage. So heartbreaking.— Cari Marshall (@CariMarshallTX) December 6‚ 2023 Drove right by a cop searching for the guy behind Alamo after he shot the cyclist and he crashed less than a 1/4 mile from my house. The only thing we heard from the city was the sirens and helicopters— Texas Tara (@texastara95) December 6‚ 2023 The Travis County District Attorney’s Office issued the following statement Wednesday: “Our hearts break for the shooting victims‚ injured officers‚ their families‚ and our communities impacted by yesterday’s senseless and tragic gun violence. We thank the Austin Police Department‚ Austin Independent School District Police‚ Texas Department of Public Safety‚ the US Marshalls‚ and the FBI for their quick work in apprehending this dangerous suspect. Our office is in communication with the Austin Police Department‚ other law enforcement partners‚ and federal prosecutors and prosecutors in Bexar County. The defendant has been charged in Travis County with multiple counts of Capital Murder. After he is magistrated‚ our office will formally receive the case and begin working on the prosecution in partnership with other prosecutors with jurisdiction.  It is expected the defendant will remain in custody pending trial.” Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) also issued a message: “Texans grieve for the loved ones of the six Texans who were murdered by a hardened criminal who must never see the light of day again. The murderer also shot two law enforcement officers in the line of duty. Texas is a law-and-order state‚ and violence will never be tolerated. We thank all state and local law enforcement and first responders who apprehended this criminal and protected their communities. The State of Texas will provide all resources necessary to impose the full weight of law on this criminal for his despicable crimes. Cecilia and I ask our fellow Texans to join us in lifting up in prayer the families and loved ones of those who were killed‚ as well as the Texans who are recovering from injuries‚ including an Austin Police Officer and an Austin Independent School District police officer.” Don’t forget‚ Infowars relies on YOUR SUPPORT!

Rep. Summer Lee (D-Pa.) labeled Gaines' speech transphobic as the former NCAA swimmer spoke out against biological males competing in women's sports. Former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines testified before the House Oversight Committee Tuesday‚ speaking out against biological males competing in women’s sports and squaring off against a Democrat “Squad” member who attempted to label her remarks “transphobic.” Gaines’ testimony addressed how allowing males who identify as “transgender” to play against biological females violates Title IX‚ the federal rule meant to prevent discrimination in sports. “Let me be perfectly clear: A school that knowingly allows a male athlete to take a spot on a women’s team or allows a male athlete to take the field in a women’s game is denying a female student athletic opportunity‚ and that is sex-based discrimination and it violates Title IX‚” Gaines testified. .@Riley_Gaines_ testifies before Congress: "A school that knowingly allows a male athlete to take a spot on a women's team or allows a male athlete to take the field in a women's game is denying a female student athletic opportunity‚ and that is sex-based discrimination and it… pic.twitter.com/RiuPyfU8Tc— Daily Wire (@realDailyWire) December 5‚ 2023 “It is my sincere hope that members of this committee will take action to stop the Biden administration’s illegal administrative rewrite of Title IX‚” she added.URGENT! Keep Alex Jones in the fight against the NWO! Please pray &; contribute at DefendJones.com today! Gaines’ commentary on the subject comes from experience as she competed against infamous NCAA biologically male transgender UPenn swimmer Lia Thomas while on the University of Kentucky’s swim team. At one point during the hearing‚ Squad member Rep. Summer Lee (D-Pa.) asked the committee to strike one of Gaines’ comments from the record‚ claiming it was riddled with “transphobic” language. “It’s disappointing to me that although the title of this hearing implies a much-needed discussion we’re likely going to be forced to listen to transphobic bigotry‚” Lee stated. “Because actually protecting female athletes and Title IX is important. Participating in sports provides so many benefits to our young people.” “Madam Chair‚ I ask that while we sit through this hearing and the hateful misinformation I’m sure is coming our way‚ let us not forget the children at the core of this issue‚” the first-year rep added. The New York Post reports: “After a brief discussion‚ Lee’s point of order was withdrawn and the hearing resumed.” Gaines shot back using Lee’s same intersectional language‚ asserting the Democrat’s argument sounded close to misogyny. “Of course‚ there is a place for everyone‚ regardless of gender identity‚ regardless of sexual orientation‚ regardless of race or what sports you play. There’s a place for everyone to play sports in this country‚” Gaines said. They HATE when their intersectional language is used against them. Rules for thee‚ but not for me. https://t.co/JmooTJs3FC— Riley Gaines (@Riley_Gaines_) December 6‚ 2023 “But unsafe‚ unfair and discriminatory practices towards women must stop. Inclusion cannot be prioritized over safety and fairness‚ and ranking member Lee‚ if my testimony makes me transphobic then I believe your opening monologue makes you a misogynist.” Ahead of the hearing‚ Daily Wire CEO Jeremy Boreing highlighted a short clip from his recent movie “Lady Ballers‚” which lampoons biological males dominating women’s sports. “I thought they needed a reminder that men pretending to be women and brutally dominating women’s sports is something to be mocked‚ not an idea to be written into law‚” noted Boreing.
