Back in 2013, American reality TV show The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills featured a scene that would unexpectedly go viral nearly a decade later. The scene showed a phone conversation between former model Yolanda Hadid and her daughter Gigi. Hadid junior said she felt sick because she hadn't eaten all day, and her mother's advice in response was to “eat two almonds”. It might have seemed innocuous at the time, but that moment went viral in 2022, with a number of female Tiktokers complaining about how their mothers were damaging their relationship with food. The term “almond moms" was born, in a nod to the Hadid reality TV scene, and at the time of recording it has close to 480 million views. What are the main charachteristics of almond moms ? What makes almond moms act that way ? What are the consequences of such a restrictive upbringing ? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Choux au craquelin is a classic French pastry—think of it as an elevated cream puff, finished with a thin, sweet, cookie-like crust that bakes up crisp and crackly. Its name translates roughly to “cracker cream puff,” a nod to its signature crunch. Chloe Hodgman, pastry chef at The Girl & The Fig in Sonoma, shares her recipe for this elegant dessert. The choux is topped with an espresso almond flour craquelin before baking, then filled with a decadent chocolate stracciatella espresso mascarpone mousse. The result is a showstopping, special-occasion dessert—crispy on the outside, light and airy on the inside, with rich espresso and chocolate flavors in every bite.

What are you doing with your Master's possessions? In the series premiere of "For What It's Worth," Pastor Ernest Almond of Higher Definition Church in Jacksonville unpacks the controversial parable of the shrewd manager in Luke 16:1-15.Pastor Ernest addresses the modern economic realities facing the Jacksonville community and beyond—from AI tech layoffs to rising prices—challenging believers to operate with "wisdom under pressure." Moving past "Low Definition," self-centered mentalities, this teaching exposes how the world is often more creative with its wealth than the "people of the light" are with the Kingdom. Discover the true definition of a biblical steward, why you must manage someone else's vision before receiving your own, and how to master your money rather than being mastered by it. If you want to build an eternal legacy that reduces the burdens of others rather than adding to them, this message provides the essential framework for Kingdom-minded success.

Fruit removal is a serious issue in table olive production, namely because the fruit are harvested before they are ripe. ACC, an ethylene precursor, has the potential to improve fruit removal (please note that the commercial product is not registered in olives yet and cannot legally be used). Becky Wheeler-Dykes, an advisor in Glenn, Colusa, and Tehama Counties, has been examining its efficacy in olives with a team of researchers at UC Davis. She shares some preliminary, and promising results in this week's episode.Episode transcriptMention of a pesticide does not constitute a pesticide recommendation, and mention of specific trade names does not constitute an endorsement.

Anyone who has an irrigation system knows that it needs to be maintained for peak performance. Anyone who has an irrigation system also knows that almost everything seems to be more important in the moment than flushing those lines or checking pressures. A distribution uniformity test is a good way to assess the health of your irrigation system, but it isn't always easy to figure out if the cost of making these fixes, particularly big fixes, will pencil out. CURES got a grant a few years back to develop a tool to estimate the return on investment for making fixes to a system. Inge Bisconer and Parry Klassen share how the tool works and what spurred them to develop it in this week's episode.

What are you feeding your spirit? In the conclusion of the "Fast Food Faith" series, Pastor Ernest Almond of Higher Definition Church in Jacksonville preaches a challenging word titled "Taste and See." Drawing from John 6:51-59 and Psalm 34:8, Pastor Ernest exposes the modern tendency to treat faith like an on-the-go drive-thru, pursuing temporary satisfaction over eternal nourishment.This message addresses the controversy of Jesus' teaching on eating His flesh and drinking His blood, contrasting the "me-centered" consumer mentality with the radical call to total submission. Learn why it is vital to stop treating Christ as an "accent" to your life and start making Him the main dish. If you find your faith running dry or lacking direction, this message will challenge you to stop trying to manipulate temporary worldly practices for spiritual satisfaction and instead anchor your entire life in the holiness of Jesus Christ.

ABC Board Chair Bob Silveira joined the Journey to reflect on his many years in the almond industry, addressing issues with the almond carryout, the prospect of gene-edited trees and his thoughts on the future of the industry. Silveira and his wife farm 150 acres of almonds near Courtland, California just southwest of Elk Grove. He is also a partner in Vann Family Orchards and serves the current board chair for the Almond Board of California.“We had an exceptional run of about 20 years, and the last four or five years have been really tough.

Are you following Jesus for who He is, or for what He can do for you? In the series premiere of "Fast Food Faith," Pastor Ernest Almond of Higher Definition Church in Jacksonville dives into John 6:22-27 to expose the "appetite-driven" spirituality that mirrors the modern convenience of fast food.Pastor Ernest addresses the "Low Definition" tendency to seek God only when we have a "rumbly in our tumbly"—turning the Savior into a cosmic vending machine. This teaching explores the tension between temporary satisfaction and eternal sustenance, challenging the Jacksonville community to stop working for "food that spoils" and start hungering for the "Bread of Life." If you find yourself frustrated when God doesn't move on your timeline or meet your physical demands, this message will help you dismantle a "consumer-based" faith and build a life prepared as a sanctuary for the Holy Spirit.

On this Resurrection Sunday at Higher Definition Church in Jacksonville, Pastor Ernest Almond delivers a definitive word: Jesus is "More Than a Sacrifice." Taking us through the most famous passage in Scripture, John 3:16-18, Pastor Ernest strips away "cheap" American belief to reveal the true heart of God's mission.This message explores the "Incomparable Love" that drove the Father to give His only Son—not to condemn the world, but to rescue it. Moving beyond the "Low Definition" view of faith as a mere mental opinion, Pastor Ernest defines true belief as "Pistuo"—a binding allegiance that changes how we function in the world. Whether you feel defeated by past failures, trapped by "dead" religious traditions, or overwhelmed by modern "illegitimate" spiritual shortcuts, this Easter teaching provides the roadmap to move from Condemnation to Victory. Join our Jacksonville ministry as we celebrate the Risen King who proved that while the sacrifice made forgiveness possible, the resurrection makes victory inevitable.

Polyphenol deposition in pistachio kernels, also known as internal kernel discoloration, is a harmless phenotype of pistachios, where dark coloration appears on the internal surface of the pistachio cotyledons (the two halves of the kernel). It started showing up widely in the late 2010s/early 2020s, and researchers Georgia Drakakaki, Phoebe Gordon, and Minmin Wang have been investigating it from different angles (Phoebe from the field perspective; Georgia and Minmin from the anatomical and physiochemical perspective). In this episode, they share some initial results. We still don't know what truly causes it, but we have some answers to basic questions.

In a world beset by climatic emergencies, the continuing resonance of the flood story is perhaps easy to understand. Whether in the tortured alpha male intensity of Russell Crowe's Noah, in Darren Aronofsky's eponymous 2014 film, or other recent derivations, the biblical narrative has become a lightning rod for gathering environmental anxieties. However, Philip C. Almond's masterful exploration of Western cultural history uncovers a far more complex Noah than is commonly recognised: not just the father of humanity but also the first shipbuilder, navigator, zookeeper, farmer, grape grower, and wine maker. Noah's pivotal significance is revealed as much in his forgotten secular as in his religious receptions, and their major impact on such disciplines as geology, geography, biology, and zoology. While Noah's many interpretations over two millennia might seem to offer a common message of hope, the author's sober conclusion to Noah and the Flood in Western Thought (Cambridge UP, 2025) is that deliverance now lies not in divine but rather in human hands. Philip C. Almond is Emeritus Professor in the History of Religious Thought at The University of Queensland. A noted authority in the history of religion and of ideas, he has written many books on subjects as diverse as God, the Devil, the afterlife, witchcraft and witches, Adam and Eve, heaven and hell in Enlightenment England, and early modern demonic possession. His recent works include The Buddha: Life and Afterlife Between East and West (2024), Mary Magdalene: A Cultural History (2023), and The Antichrist: A New Biography (2020), all published by Cambridge University Press.

Almond production creates a lot of byproduct. While there are some alternative uses for almond hulls and shells, like livestock feed and bedding, there is still not enough demand to utilize all the biomass created every year. Some growers have been accepting almond hulls and shells from processors to help them get rid of these stockpiles, and using them as mulch in orchards. Ellie Andrews examined how using hulls and shells benefits almond orchards, including their potential as potassium fertilizer, and how they affect soil health.

In the late 16th century, in the small village of Warboys, just outside Cambridge, everyday life was unsettled by growing fear and uncertainty, when family members of the local gentry began suffering from strange illnesses. Suspicion of witchcraft quickly spread amongst the community, and one neighbouring family found themselves accused by a local population that was searching for explanations in an environment of fear and superstition, forcing ordinary, everyday events to become evidence of something much darker.SOURCES Man, Thomas & Winnington, John (1593) The Most Strange and Admirable Discovery of the Three Witches of Warboys.
