Call us biased, but we have the best group of future occupational therapists in @CSU_OT 💚💛
Last week's convocation, where we welcomed our cohorts of OT Rams back to campus, was filled with good vibes and high energy for the year ahead 🐏⚡️ pic.twitter.com/8wTJ2rPi8S

“Fish and chips was in many ways the pioneer fast-food industry. It became an essential component of working-class diet and popular culture in parts of London, and over wide areas of industrial midland and northern England and southern Scotland, in the early decades of the twentieth century…I propose to argue that the fish and chip trade was not only important enough in itself to justify sustained historical analysis, but also that it provides a useful vantage point for examining important changes in British society more generally.”
— John Walken, 1998, Journal of Social History
In England I’m in a very international community. I’m meeting students attempting to learn English, they are from all over the world. Many have never heard of Jesus, some have heard the name and nothing more. It’s amazing, a kind smile and warm conversation is a perfect pretext… pic.twitter.com/jLiDAc8nlU
Beer was discovered accidentally as a result of grains being left in water and undergoing fermentation. The process of making beer involves converting the starches in grains (such as barley or wheat) into sugars, which are then fermented by yeast to produce alcohol. It was often consumed as a safer alternative to water, which could be contaminated with disease-causing pathogens.
Beer was also used in religious ceremonies and was considered a valuable commodity for trade. Over time, beer-making techniques spread throughout the world, and different regions developed their own unique styles of beer; now supported by artificial intelligence algorithms that analyze chemical compounds to identify specific flavor and aroma profiles for more nuanced flavors.
Abstract: The art of brewing beer has a long tradition that dates back to the very dawn of civilization. While the brewing process has been automated to a great extent, the creation of new beer recipes remains the result of creativity and human expertise with only minor support from software to validate chemical constraints. We collected a dataset of 157,000 publicly available recipes from all over the world and created a transformer-based model to support the creative process in brewing by suggesting new beer recipe templates. As a proof of concept, we crafted the IPA “Deeper” along a recipe generated by our model. Over 100 international newspapers and radio stations have reported on the first AI-crafted beer from Switzerland over the past few months. For the first time, this paper reveals the underlying pipeline architecture of eight transformer networks trained end-to-end that made this remarkable success possible.

Buttermilk is a tangy, dairy-based liquid often used in cooking and baking. It’s traditionally a byproduct of churning butter, but modern buttermilk is typically made by adding lactic acid bacteria to low-fat milk. This bacterial fermentation imparts its characteristic sour flavor and thickens the milk.
Buttermilk provides a pleasant acidity and moisture to recipes, especially in pancakes, biscuits, and marinades. It also aids in leavening, making baked goods rise. Additionally, buttermilk can be enjoyed as a refreshing drink on its own or blended with other ingredients for beverages and dressings, lending a delightful, tart quality.

There is no single international standard for buttermilk, as its composition and characteristics can vary from one region to another.
ISO standards help ensure the quality, safety, and consistency of these products in international trade. Some ISO standards related to milk and dairy products include:
ISO 7886-1:2005 – Milk and milk products — Determination of the protein content — Part 1: Test at 0.020 specific density (Reference method)
ISO 1053:2006 – Milk — Enumeration of somatic cells
ISO 21415-1:2006 – Milk — Enumeration of psychrotrophic microorganisms — Part 1: Colony-count technique at 6.5 degrees C
ISO 11816-1:2013 – Milk — Determination of milkfat, protein, and lactose content — Part 1: Guidance on the operation of mid-infrared instruments
These standards cover various aspects of milk quality, testing methods, and safety parameters. Dairy products, including milk, undergo strict quality control and testing to ensure they meet the required standards for international trade and consumer safety.
