Continuing the Build contest theme, another round is currently in progress! The theme is: Apocalypse!~ Quite odd for November, but when does it fit anyhow? You can enter untill the 20th of November, so theres a good amount of time to finish and chisel the details. Theres even better prizes to win this time! Submit your builds here: https://forum.bcsn.us/index.php?threads/build-contest-apocalypse.4167/ Also, theres some minor election thing going on. Dunno the exact details, check it out here, might turn out to be important: https://forum.bcsn.us/index.php?threads/bcsn-presidential-election-2k16.4169/ Hand Drawn Humour Thanks to Grommash for inspiration. Welcome! In this column i will give you a neato recipe! NOTE: this column wont always be present. Ingredients: - microwave safe mug - fork - table spoon - tea spoon - 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. - 3 tablespoons of white sugar (or brown if you like it sweeter) - 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder (not the one you pour milk into and it becomes a drink, dark cocoa powder) - 1/8 teaspoon of baking soda - tiny pinch of salt - 3 tablespoons of milk - 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil - (optional) vanilla essence - 1/2 teaspoons of vineagar First of all, put all of the dry ingredients inside the mug. Stir them all with a fork, and be careful not to stir too hard, as the contents of the mug may spill. Then, and this is important, you pour in the vineagar, quickly followed by the milk and oil. Splash the essence if you choose to, and stir again with the fork. Be sure to mix all of the dry ingredients with the rest, and some unmixed dry stuff can ruin a mug cake, and more importanly, give you less cake! After every last bit has become a fine chocolaty paste, you can taste a bit of the dough.\ Splendid. Nuke it in the microwave for 90 seconds, or for people using the metric system, 1 minute 30 seconds. Put some nice stuff on it if youd like, like whipped cream or something. Enjoy! Today, i introuduce you to the Chocolate Hub (I picked it on name alone, was dissapointed it wasnt some newfangled fondue fountain) Woo So this newfangled piece of technology isnt even avalable yet. Its gonna start its Indiegogo campaign on the 11th. The goal is 20k dollars, seems pretty useful though, so maybe try to fund it if you want to. Maybe. Its basically what youd expect, a usb-c hub for charging things, but its not regular charging, its wireless! Apparently integrates with Apple's new Macbook Pro and other laptops which have this USB-C connectivity thing. Apparently it made waves cause its the first USB-C hub with QI wireless phone charging capacity capability, as well as ports for modern homes and offices. As you can tell, the name comes from its sweetly decieving surface. Also, it apparently works with a large amount of current smartphones and stuff, doesnt seem to be the case with the Iphone 7, i wouldnt want my newfangled charging fancybox to blow up too. All you need to do, is to put your compatible phone on the surface of broken chocolatey dreams, and it will magically charge, technology. This makes all the other ports free to use, including a USB-C Power & Data Transfer port whatever that is. Apparently for laptops, huh. The site also says: "Not only that, the Chocolate Hub even comes with a 4K ready HDMI port and a couple of Super Speed USB 3.0 backward compatible ports, accompanied by an SD 3.0 Card Reader to make this a truly must-have peripheral for serious laptop owners" Im not a serious laptop owner, so this may be important to you. Price was not given yet, may be pricey. Who knows?

Malachite (copper carbonate hydroxide) A beautifully green mineral, precious for collectors and jewelers alike. This opaque, green banded mineral forms most often in botryoidal*, fibrous, or stalagmitic masses, in fractures and spaces, deep underground. Individual crystals are rare but do occur as slender to acicular** prisms. Archeological evidence indicates that the mineral has been mined and smelted to obtain copper at Timna Valley in Israel for over 3,000 years. Since then, malachite has been used as both an ornamental stone and as a gemstone. It is quite a valuable stone, especially in its botryoidal forms, it isnt found too rarely, especially too cheaply or in too large chunks. Makes for beautiful jewelery. Chunks around a pound in weight could even be worth hundrets! Well, it seems this issue is at an end. Im always happy to make these, and glad people enjoy these. Thank you for reading, and stay tuned! - John Co Publishings * the mineral has a globular external form resembling a bunch of grapes **refers to a crystal habit composed of slender, needle-like crystals.
