===== New ‘Princes’ exhibit at MAH embraces the whole of Santa Cruz’s history of surfing =====
[https://lookout.co/new-princes-exhibit-at-mah-embraces-the-whole-of-santa-cruzs-history-of-surfing/story by WALLACE BAINE 6/7/25 Lookout]
  There are plenty of people who have never been within a thousand miles of Santa Cruz but who can still tell you that this place is all about surfing. It’s no secret that surf culture is Santa Cruz’s brand, much like beer in Milwaukee or cheesesteaks in Philadelphia.
 
===== How to Frame an I-Joist Roof =====
[https://www.finehomebuilding.com/project-guides/framing/how-to-frame-an-i-joist-roof by Andrew Steele 7/22 Fine Homebuilding]
There are many choices for roof framing: dimensional lumber, trusses, or engineered lumber such as laminated veneer lumber (LVL) and I-joists. All have advantages and drawbacks. On a recent project, an accessory dwelling behind an in-town bungalow, I was tasked with building a 16-ft. clear-span monoslope roof with a soaring cathedral ceiling on the underside. The logical choice was to use 14-in. I-joist rafters.
 
===== Shelling Acorns =====
[https://thenatureplace.com/shelling-acorns/ by Daniel Bieber 2024 The Nature Place]
The most challenging part of processing acorns is the shelling. It can be monotonous and time consuming, so over the years I have looked for more efficient methods of removing the nutmeats.
 
===== Santa Cruz has a fantastic food scene — if you know where to look =====
[https://sfstandard.com/2025/06/29/santa-cruz-food-daytrip/ by Sara Desaran 29/6/25 The San Fransisco Standard]
The college surf town with a hippie edge has been pigeonholed as a veggie-burrito kind of place — a land of tofu scrambles, chai with oat milk, and heart-opening cacao ceremonies. Either that or hot dog on a stick as a potential last meal before a death-defying ride on the boardwalk’s rickety, 101-year-old Giant Dipper.
 
===== 8' Folding Kayak =====
[https://www.instructables.com/8-Folding-Kayak/ by Wizgirl AUTODESK Instructables]
The kayak is made of plywood and canvas, and is bonded together with contact cement. The entire boat is coated in latex primer and paint, which waterproofs it. It folds up for easy storage, and is relatively easy to carry short distances.
 
===== How to Search Multiple Websites at Once =====
[https://blog.expertrec.com/how-to-search-multiple-websites-at-once/ by Expertec Marketing 17/4/23 Expertec Blog]
Are you someone looking to search multiple sites on a regular basis? You could be a deal hunter looking to search multiple websites for the best price deals or a broker trying to find out the best house deals in your area.
 
===== Inkjet Printing Shines with Metallic Ink =====
[https://www.kaocollins.com/inktank/inkjet-printing-shines-metallic-ink/#:~:text=As%20with%20any%20inkjet%20ink,to%20any%20other%20inkjet%20ink. by THE INK TANK 17/5/19]
When CMYK printing. External Link. Opens in new window. was first developed around 1900, printers have mixed CMYK’s four-color inks to produce an almost infinite spectrum of colors and hues, including shades of silver, gold, and bronze.

  The work is based on a relatively new concept in aging research: that chemical modifications to a person’s DNA over a lifetime create what is known as an epigenetic clock. Scientists have built a case that one such modification, the addition of methyl groups to specific DNA sequences, tracks human biological age—that is, the toll that disease, poor lifestyle, and genetics take on our bodies. As a result, some groups have converted a person’s DNA methylation status to an age estimate—or even a prediction of life expectancy (worrying ethicists, who say the data could be misused by forensic investigators and insurance companies).

  Other species also undergo DNA methylation as they age. Mice, chimpanzees, wolves, and dogs, for example, all seem to have epigenetic clocks. To find out how those clocks differ from the human version, geneticist Trey Ideker of the University of California, San Diego, and colleagues started with dogs. Even though man’s best friends diverged from humans early in mammalian evolution, they’re a good group for comparison because they live in the same environments and many receive similar healthcare and hospital treatments.
