As simple a food as they are, hard-boiled eggs are in fact a little tricky to get right . If you cook them too long, they’ll get that unappetizing green ring around the yolk. Start with them too fresh and they’ll be impossible to peel. If you’re looking to make a quick egg salad for lunch, this can put a real snag in your plans.
It’s time to reconsider how you cook the hard-boiled egg. In fact, it’s time you give up the boiling entirely and welcome the steamed, hard-cooked egg into your life.

Xiaomi Redmi Note4 phanblet

Design

Take the iPhone 6S Plus and mix it with the HTC 10 and the result will come close to the metal Redmi Note 4. The front looks sleek and minimal, and at the bottom you’ll find capacitive navigational buttons. The power button and volume rocker rest on the right side of the device, but overall the front gives off iPhone vibes. The back, on the other hand, is more akin to HTC’s most recent flagship, the HTC 10. Antenna bands sit at the top and bottom of the device, and there’s a circular camera, flash, and a circular fingerprint sensor at the top center.

The Note 4 comes in silver, gold, and dark gray color options.

nytimes news about zika virus

study of brain scans and ultrasoundpictures of 45 Brazilian babies whose mothers were infected with Zika inpregnancy shows that the virus can inflict serious damage to many different parts of the fetal brain beyond microcephaly, the condition of unusually small heads that has become the sinister signature of Zika.

The images, published Tuesday in the journal Radiology, also suggest a grim possibility: Because some of the damage was seen in brain areas that continue to develop after birth, it may be that babies born without obvious impairment will experience problems as they grow.

“It really brings to the forefront the importance of truly understanding the impact of Zika virus and the fact that we need to follow children who not only are exposed to Zika in pregnancy, but even those who don’t appear to have any complications at birth,” said Dr. Catherine

This post was written by chris myers. In my latest book , I devote an entire section to what entrepreneurs should look for in potential investors. However, I’ve never explored a more pressing issue of what investors look for in potential portfolio companies.
I’ve gone through two major investment rounds at my company, BodeTree , and am in the process of finalizing our third . Through those experiences, I’ve learned a thing or two about what investors really care about.
There’s a common misconception among entrepreneurs that investors care about flashy technology, early growth, or fear of missing out. Each of those things plays a role in their decision-making process, of course, but they’re not the most important things investors look for. Knowing what really matters can be the difference between a successful entrepreneur/investor partnership and utter disaster.
