Spanish Flan Classic Spanish Flan with Silky Caramel Topping Ingredients: 1 cup granulated sugar (for caramel) 1/4 cup water (for caramel) 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk 1 (12 oz) can evaporated milk 3 large eggs 1 tablespoon vanilla extract Pinch of salt Directions: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and water. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves, then allow it to boil without stirring until it turns deep amber in color, about 8–10 minutes. Carefully pour the hot caramel into the bottom of a round 8-inch cake pan or flan mold. Tilt to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool and harden. In a blender, combine sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth. Pour the custard mixture over the hardened caramel in the pan. Place the filled pan in a larger baking dish. Pour hot water into the outer dish to create a water bath, reaching halfway up the sides of the flan pan. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the flan is set but slightly jiggly in the center. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan and invert onto a serving plate, allowing the caramel to drizzle over the top.

Recent scientific research has uncovered a novel function of the immune system involving proteasomes — protein complexes traditionally known for breaking down unneeded or damaged proteins inside cells. In this newly discovered mechanism, proteasomes are utilized by immune cells to produce specific protein fragments that possess strong antibacterial properties. This mechanism provides a fresh understanding of how the body fights bacterial infections beyond conventional immune pathways like antibody production or white blood cell activity. The proteasomes generate peptide fragments that can either directly attack bacterial membranes or enhance the immune response by signaling and recruiting other immune cells. These protein fragments are especially efficient in targeting harmful bacteria, offering potential new therapeutic strategies for drug-resistant infections. This finding is significant because it introduces an additional, internal bacterial defense mechanism — not just reliant on externally produced antibodies or antibiotics — but embedded within cellular machinery itself.

In a bold and unprecedented move, New Zealand MP Laura McClure stood before Parliament holding a censored deepfake image of herself, generated entirely by AI. Her aim was to demonstrate just how disturbingly easy it is to create fake, explicit content using publicly available tools. The deepfake was fabricated in under five minutes without her consent, shedding light on a growing digital threat that disproportionately targets women and public figures. McClure’s action sparked urgent calls for legislative reform. She urged Parliament to classify deepfake pornography as a form of image-based sexual abuse, demanding it be treated with the same severity as the non-consensual sharing of real intimate photos. Her emotional testimony highlighted the psychological trauma such fabrications can inflict—even when the images aren't real. With AI capabilities growing rapidly, McClure's stand could mark a turning point in how nations respond to the darker side of synthetic media. #DeepfakeAwareness #DigitalSafety #AIethics #CyberHarassment #WomenInPolitics
