Iran's admission of shooting down a Ukrainian airliner, killing all 176 aboard, has provoked international outrage.

Iraq's caretaker prime minister privately does not want US troops to withdraw, several sources familiar with the situation told Al-Monitor, though Adel Abdul Mahdi publicly backed a recent parliamentary vote that urged the Donald Trump administration to exit the war-torn country.
Despite calling on Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to send an American delegation to Iraq to negotiate the withdrawal of US troops in a readout of a Friday call, Abdul Mahdi is trying to find a way to keep an American presence in the country while attempting to placate Iran-backed militia leaders who want to force 5,200 US troops out, a source familiar with the situation on the ground said.
If Iraq were to lose access to its accounts with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, it would curtail Baghdad's ability to access the funds in them triggering a shortage of foreign exchange vital to the functioning of Iraq's already fragile economy[File; Carlo Allegri/Reuters]
* US could shut off Iraq's access to Federal Reserve Bank of New York * Account there is used to collect revenue from Iraq's sale of oil overseas * Without the central banking access Iraq's economy could quickly collapse * Iraq's parliament has called for US troops to withdraw from the country
The Trump administration has threatened to shut off Iraq's access to a key central banking account if U.S. troops are forced to with drawn from the country, according to a new report.
The State Department warned that Iraq's access to its main account at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York could be shut off if the Iraqi government asks American troops to leave, Iraqi officials told the Wall Street Journal.
The account is used to collect revenue from Iraq's overseas oil sales, and shutting off access to it could quickly cripple the country's economy and its government's ability to provide basic services.
In its first official release from the region, a new Islamic State video details the jihadist group's varying operations across the Sahel over the last few years.
While the group has released videos from the region via its Amaq News in the past, today's video also marks the first time footage from the Sahel has been released through the Islamic State's West African Province.
While the group is now within the West African Province branding, it is still colloquially known as the "Islamic State in the Greater Sahara," or ISGS.
The large-scale production serves as both a recap and highlight reel for the Islamic State in Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso.
NIAMEY — The death toll from Thursday's attack by suspected jihadists on a Niger army base has risen to at least 89, four security sources said, surpassing a raid last month that killed 71 soldiers as the deadliest against Nigerien forces in years.
The government said on Thursday that 25 soldiers were killed while successfully repelling the attack in the western town of Chinagodrar by assailants aboard motorcycles and other vehicles.
But four security sources said that at least 89 members of Niger's security forces killed in the attack were buried on Saturday in the capital, Niamey.
One of the sources said the actual death toll could be higher because a number of dead soldiers were buried immediately on Thursday in Chinagodrar.
Niger's government spokesman and defense minister did not respond to multiple requests for comment on Saturday.
BENGHAZI (Reuters) - Libyan eastern forces loyal to commander Khalifa Haftar announced on Saturday a ceasefire in the western region, which includes the capital Tripoli, starting 00:01 a.m. on Sunday (22:01 GMT) conditioned on acceptance by their rivals, a spokesman said.
Since April, Libyan National Army forces loyal to Haftar have been waging a campaign to take Tripoli, where they are battling forces aligned with the internationally recognised Government of National Accord (GNA).
LNA on Thursday rebuffed a call by Turkey and Russia for the warring parties to declare a ceasefire amid clashes and air strikes in a conflict drawing increasing foreign involvement and concern.
* French government has offered to withdraw plan to raise pension age by two years in compromise to unions * The message was delivered as thousands of protesters took to the streets for 38th day of protests andstrikes * The moderate CFDT union welcomed 'the withdrawal of the pivot age' from the controversial bill
France's government offered a possible compromise to unions waging a crippling, weeks-long transport strike against pension reform.
The government on Saturday offered to withdraw the most contested proposal that would in effect have raised the retirement age by two years.
'To demonstrate my confidence in the social partners... I am willing to withdraw from the bill the short-term measure I had proposed' to set a so-called 'pivot age' of 64 with effect from 2027, Prime Minister Edouard Philippe wrote in a letter to union leaders a day after they met seeking to end the labour action, now in its 38th day.
Ukraine's President Zelenskiy demanded Iran pay compensation and a full investigation over the downing of the Ukrainian passenger jet, while Germany called for measures to prevent such a disaster in the future.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Saturday said Ukraine expected a full investigation and compensation from Iran, after Tehran said it "unintentionally" shot down a Ukrainian passenger jet, killing all 176 people board.
After mounting international pressure, Iran earlier on Saturday voiced regret over firing at the passenger plane in "error" amid heightened US tensions.
Iran had initially denied bringing down the aircraft.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Saturday amid escalating tensions in the Middle East.
Her visit — the first to Russia since May 2018 — comes as Iran admitted accidentally shooting down a Ukrainian passenger plane shortly after its takeoff from Tehran, killing 176 passengers and crew.
Iran and Libya are expected to be the main points of discussion between the leaders, as Putin has strong influence in both countries.
The EU's foreign policy chief Josep Borrell warned of an escalation of violence in Libya earlier this week after a meeting of EU foreign ministers, especially in light of a recent airstrike on a military school.
Sultan Qaboos bin Said Al Said of Oman, the Arab world's longest-serving ruler, has died aged 79.
The sultan deposed his father in a bloodless coup with British support in 1970 and set Oman on a path to development, using its oil wealth.
Widely regarded as popular, he was also an absolute monarch and any dissenting voices were silenced.
No cause of death has been confirmed. His cousin Haitham bin Tariq Al Said has been sworn in as his successor.
A family council had three days to choose a successor as Qaboos had no heir or publicly designated successor. Instead they opted for opening the sealed envelope in which Qaboos had secretly left his own choice.
* Tsai Ing-wen took 57.2 per cent of the vote to soundly defeat her two challengers * She warned communist-ruled China not to use threats of force against Taiwan * Voters chose Tsai's position on China over Han Kuo-yu's calls for friendlier ties
Taiwan's independence-leaning president Tsai Ing-wen has won a second term in office with a landslide victory, signalling strong voter support for her tough stance against China.
Ms Tsai took 57.2 per cent of the vote to soundly defeat two challengers, Han Kuo-yu of the rival Nationalist Party and James Soong of the smaller People First Party.
She wasted no time in warning communist-ruled China, which views Taiwan as a renegade province, not to try to use threats of force against the self-governed island.
* IED struck US vehicle on Saturday in the Dand district of Kandahar province * Taliban immediately claimed responsibility for the roadside bomb attack * Two U.S. service members were killed and two others injured
Two U.S. service members were killed and two others injured when their vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb in southern Afghanistan Saturday, the U.S. military said in a statement.
Qari Yusouf Ahmadi, a Taliban spokesman, immediately claimed responsibility for the attack the southern Kandahar province.
The Department of Defense did not identify the service members, in keeping with policy to wait 24 hours after notification of next of kin is complete.
The U.S. service members were conducting operations as part of NATO's Resolute Support Mission. It was not immediately clear which branch of the military they were with.
Iran's statement on Saturday that a Ukrainian passenger plane was downed by a missile fired unintentionally followed growing pressure from abroad but also at home, and for some Iranians, the authorities' expressions of condolence were not enough.
For days, Iran had denied Western accusations it was responsible for Wednesday's crash soon after take-off from Tehran, in which all 176 people aboard were killed. Authorities said on Saturday that air defences had been fired in error while on high alert following Iranian missile strikes on U.S. targets in Iraq.
Expressions of condolence over the incident from Supreme Leader and President Hassan Rouhani failed to calm angry Iranians, who used social media to express their outrage against the establishment for concealing the truth.
"It is a national tragedy. The way it was handled and it was announced by the authorities was even more tragic," said Ali Ansari, a moderate cleric, according to Iran's semi-official ILNA news agency.
WNU Editor: There are many reasons why Iranians are angry at their government. And in the whole scheme of things this is probably one of the lesser reasons why they are fuming.
TEHRAN – Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force, said on Saturday that after he became "confident" that the Ukrainian passenger plane had been shot down erroneously by the Iranian air defense system "I wished death".
The passenger plane, with 179 people aboard, was mistakenly downed on Wednesday morning. It happened a few hours after Iran fired dozens of missiles at the U.S. airbase inside Iraq in retaliation for the assassination of Iranian Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani in Baghdad on January 3.
Hajizadeh said he was in western Iran when the incident happened.
"I will accept all the responsibilities for this incident," he told a press conference.
He added, "We will obey any decision by officials."
Not a single Democratic member of the Senate has lent their support to a Republican-driven congressional effort to praise the U.S. military and intelligence community members who helped carry out the successful strike that killed Iranian terror leader Qassem Soleimani.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) and 42 of his GOP colleagues in the Senate earlier this week forwarded a resolution honoring American military and intelligence community members who helped conduct the raid that killed Iran's chief terror mastermind.
* New photos show aftermath of January 3 drone strike at Baghdad International Airport * Quds Forces leader Qassem Soleimani and nine others were killed in two cars hit by US drone missiles * Photos show burning wreckage and some of Soleimani's personal effects after the strike
Photos taken by U.S. Special Operations forces have been released in the aftermath of the American drone strike that killed Iranian General Qassem Soleimani at Baghdad International Airport.
The photos, which depict the grisly outcome of the January 3 Reaper drone's missile strike on two cars carrying Soleimani and nine others, were obtained by Fox News from a U.S. government source.
The U.S. soldiers were secretly following Soleimani's convoy about a half-mile behind his entourage, and rushed to the scene immediately after the strike to confirm that the Iranian general had been killed.
The photos show the burning, twisted wreckage of the vehicle Solemani was traveling in, as well as some of the items he was carrying, including a cell phone and currency.
WNU Editor: These pictures tell me that US Special Forces were near the strike when it happened. It is almost as if they were waiting for him. According to FOX News Qassem Soleimani's cell phone and electronics was destroyed ....
.... Under normal circumstances, Soleimani's phone and other electronics would be taken away for forensic analysis. However, the missile strike and ensuing fire made such an investigation impossible.
That is the official US statement. But when I look at the above photo it is clear that his phone is intact. I am willing to bet that everyone who was on Soleimani's cell phone is now operating on the premise that his electronics and cell phone were not destroyed, and that US intelligence already has all the data in their possession.
Iraqi sites published photos that they said were leaked from inside the Al-Asad base, in Anbar Province, after the Iranian missile strike, in retaliation for the assassination of General Qassem Soleimani in Baghdad. [Arabi21]
The pictures show severe damage of the airbase, which hosts US forces.
Iraqi news websites have published leaked pictures from inside the US Ain Al-Assad Airbase in the Iraqi governate of Al Anbar, following the Iranian missile strike, Arabi21.com reported on Friday.
The pictures show severe damage of the airbase, which hosts US forces. Meanwhile, Iranians have also published videos on social media claiming to show the damage inside the airbase.
The pictures were published at the same time as other images captured by satellite were also published, showing the sites which were hit by the Iranian ballistic missiles.
WNU Editor: There are only three pictures but they show extensive damage at this Iraqi base. I am sure more pictures are going to be posted in the coming days.
Apparently, Mohammed was a computer science genius. He was planning after graduating from the University of Toronto to return to Iran, where a position in one of the Revolutionary Guards cyber units awaited him.
* President Trump told Laura Ingraham that there were 'probably four' U.S. embassies being threatened by Iranian general Qassem Soleimani * I can reveal that I believe it probably wouldn've been four embassies,' the president told the Fox News Channel host * The president specified the Baghdad embassy as one of the targets, as the complex had already been attacked by Iranian-backed protesters * Earlier Friday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo doubled down on the president's claims that U.S. embassies were in jeopardy * The Trump administration has been called out by members of Congress for taking out Soleimani without authorization
President Trump said in a new interview with Laura Ingraham Friday that there were 'probably four' U.S. embassies in the crosshairs of an attack orchestrated by Iranian general Qassem Soleimani.
'I can reveal that I believe it probably wouldn've been four embassies,' Trump told the Fox News Channel host.
The president also offered that it was 'probably' going to be the embassy in Baghdad, which saw Iran-backed militia members attack it last week, further inflaming tensions between the U.S. and Iran, that led to Soleimani's death.
Trump's comments come after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo doubled down on the president's claims that embassies were Soleimani's targets.
On Saturday, the Iranian Guards Corps Troops announced they had taken down Ukraine International Airlines Boeing 737 plane en route from Tehran to Kiev, mistaking it for a missile. At the same time Ukrainian authorities have called on Iran to take full responsibility for the incident that claimed 176 lives.
A new video allegedly showing a moment the missile that hit a Ukrainian airliner was launched has been making round on the internet. Posted by Foreign affairs editor of Walla News, Guy Elster, the footage shows what seems to be a missile firing that is filmed during the night at a parking lot. Mere seconds after the launch, the night sky gets flashed.
WNU Editor: Even with most international airlines now boycotting Iran unless they provid answers on what caused the crash of Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752, I am still surprised that the Iranian government came clean this quickly on admitting that it was responsible for the shooting down of this passenger jet. If Iran is sincere that they are going to investigate and punish those who are responsible for this tragedy, the families can then have at least some closure.

For several hours daily, KG Murlidharan walks up and down the 4 km rail mill at the Bhilai Steel Plant. The mill that produced a 130 metre rail, the world's longest in a single piece, is now stepping up its production to cater to the Indian Railways' (IR) growing demand for steel."In April, we produced an average of 176 pieces per day. In December, the daily production rose to 226," said Murlidharan, the general manager helming the operation of the mill, a new addition to the plant that has supplied steel to many iconic ventures, including moon mission Chandrayaan 2 and the nation's first indigenous aircraft carrier, INS Vikrant.Ahead of the budget, scheduled to be presented on February 1, top managers of the plant want Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to announce a road map of hefty spending on infrastructure, which in turn will invariably boost demand for steel.Talking to ET Magazine, Chief Executive Officer of Bhilai Steel Plant Anirban Dasgupta says the steel sector bottomed out sometime in October, and things are looking up now. He says the economic slowdown will only have a marginal impact on his company, a subsidiary of state-owned Steel Authority of India Limited, thanks to its near monopoly in the supply of rails for IR's tracks."Indian Railways is our biggest client. It consumes about 30-32% of our total production. Thanks to the doubling and tripling of lines, the Railways' appetite for steel continues to be robust. So, we are largely insulated from the economic downturn," says Dasgupta.If the budget cuts customs duty on import of coking coal, he says, it will substantially lower input cost. In Bhilai plant, about 90% of coal is imported, mainly from Australia, as India lacks good quality coking coal. Significantly, 70% of the plant's total cost on raw materials is incurred in buying coal.The turbulence in two sectors, automobile and real estate, has dragged down the steel sector in the previous three quarters. The auto sector consumes about 15% of India's steel produce, and in terms of sentiments, it acts as a barometer for steel. The only positive, though, is that steel prices rose during the last two months, albeit marginally.At this juncture, as Dasgupta explains, the entire steel industry is waiting for car sales to pick up — including those factories that have no exposure to the auto sector. "Auto sales have a pull factor. If the sector does well, steel prices will rise, and that benefits everyone," he adds.But the need for more spending on infrastructure cannot be downplayed. "We expect a continuation of investments in infrastructure sector. Also, a stimulus for consumption in rural sector will spur growth in steel," says PK Rath, chairman and managing director of Rashtriya Ispat Nigam, estimating that the sector may witness a healthy growth of 7% during the next fiscal year.Yes, the budget could at best provide succor to the sector. But in the longer term, a more holistic approach is required to make it stronger. After all, the per capita steel consumption in India is abysmally low at 65 kg, as against 400 kg in China. The National Steel Policy of 2017 envisages that by 2030-31, India needs to have 300 million tonnes of capacity, up from the current 140 million tonnes.
With more than 75,000 tenants using home rental startup NestAway, disputes arising out of their refusal to pay rents or bills is not uncommon.Because of the small sums involved, the disputes are usually resolved out of court through arbitration, based on a clause present in the rental contracts. But with arbitration still a cumbersome and costly process mandating both parties to be present for hearings and involving the submission of many documents, NestAway began looking at how tech can be used to speed up resolution and also reduce the cost.Starting with trying to resolve disputes via email, it went on to incubate an online dispute resolution (ODR) platform — Cadre or Centre for Alternate Dispute Resolution Excellence. On Cadre, founded by Shalini Saxena and Kanchan Gupta, the resolution is done online through a website-based platform. 73206416 First, one party approaches the platform, which contacts the other party. If both parties agree to the arbitration rules, an arbiter is appointed and time-stamped intimations are sent on emails and WhatsApp and SMS. The parties do not meet face to face but communicate electronically, including via video calls. The decision, which is legally binding, typically comes in 20-25 days.At Cadre, the arbitrator's fee is levied on both parties, but is usually paid by the party that brought up the dispute. "Legal costs for resolving such disputes have halved. Also, a case that would take six months via arbitration is being settled in 30 days," says Rajneesh Jaswal, general counsel at NestAway.Though these are early days for ODR with about 30 cases resolved via Cadre so far, Jaswal is hopeful the numbers will rise. Cadre is not the only platform in India to foray into ODR. Sama, a startup by Pranjal Sinha, Akshetha Ashok and Vikram Kumar, is running a pilot for ICICI Bank. It is helping resolve nearly 10,000 disputes with values of up to Rs 20 lakh after winning an E-Alternate Dispute Resolution Challenge 2019 launched by the bank and Agami, a non-profit. Sama charges a commission for the services provided on its platform. 73206428 Last year, Vikas Mahendra, a partner with law firm Keystone Partners, cofounded the Centre for Online Dispute Resolution (CODR), which positions itself as an institution that will administer cases online end-to-end. It is currently focusing on arbitration training to build a talent pool and is looking to start resolving disputes by January end. 73206423 These are the early signs of the adoption of an alternative dispute resolution mechanism being widely used in China and the US, particularly in cases related to online transactions.In India, where courts are overburdened and the backlog of cases runs into lakhs, the argument for online dispute resolution is strong. "Access to justice in India is abysmal and resolving disputes is evidently a pain point, considering the time, money and effort involved," says Pranjal Sinha of Sama.While arbitration was intended as an alternative to going to court for certain kinds of disputes, that mechanism itself has become cumbersome and often expensive.ODR offers a more accessible, transparent and faster option, particularly for companies dealing with high volume and low value transactions done online. With more Indians transacting online — whether for e-commerce or banking — stakeholders say the timing is right for ODR to gain acceptance as an easy mechanism to resolve grievances. A year ago, a Nandan Nilekani -led panel on digital payments suggested that all payment system operators "must implement a fast and fair online dispute resolution system".Globally, ODR growth was fuelled by the e-commerce boom, with eBay and PayPal resolving millions of disputes online. "ODR can be used across sectors — from insurance to banking – and also for family disputes. It is about leveraging tech to prevent and resolve disputes," says Chittu Nagarajan, a pioneer in ODR who headed Community Court initiatives at eBay and PayPal.After the acquisition of her last ODR firm Modria by Tyler Technologies, Nagarajan in 2019 launched CREK ODR, an industry- and dispute-agnostic platform, which can be accessed by clients anywhere in the world. She underlines the need for a strong technology layer while implementing ODR. Her startup is an end-to-end SaaS platform with multiple features like virtual mediation rooms. "ODR is not just about applications. You need a fantastic tech platform. The design can't be the same for platforms resolving family and e-commerce disputes."Players are aware of the challenges in the adoption of ODR in India — from the lack of enough arbitrators to building trust among consumers. "People need to accept that disputes can be resolved without the parties seeing each other," says Jaswal. "The bigger test will be dealing with people who are not used to the digital ecosystem."Sama's Sinha says capacity building is also a concern. "Lawyers can now explore providing online arbitration and mediation services as a viable career option too."Nevertheless, there is growing conviction that it is only a matter of time before ODR is adopted at scale in India. CODR's Mahendra points to two recent judgements. In the first case, the Bombay High Court pulled up Tata Capital Financial Services when it was found to have used the same arbitrator for over 2,200 cases, paying him Rs 1,000 per case, which highlights the need for a large number of arbitrators at acceptable price points.In the second, the Supreme Court ruled that even in contracts with unilateral arbitrator appointment clauses, a person with an interest in a dispute must not be eligible to appoint an arbitrator. This ruling affects millions of contracts that have already been signed and forces organisations to look for independent appointing authorities for their contracts. "ODR and technological assistance are the only affordable solutions to this need for large-scale arbitration," says Mahendra.
NEW DELHI: In a clear reference to China and Pakistan, Army Chief General Manoj Mukund Naravane said that the threat of collusion is the "maximum" in Siachen and Shaksgam valley, while adding that the army is "rebalancing" its deployments and resources on the western and northern fronts.Naravane, while addressing his first press conference after taking over as the Army Chief, said that Siachen is strategically very important to India. "That is one area where a formation is looking at both the western and the northern fronts. That is what makes it so strategically important. We must not lose sight that this is where the collusivity can happen. Therefore it is important to be on guard and keep that area in our possession," he said.Elaborating on the collusion between Pakistan and China, Naravane explained, "it can be both physical on land borders and in other spheres also. As far as the land border is concerned that is where the two countries are closest to each other. The threat of collusivity is maximum in Siachen and Shaksgam valley. Collusivity is also in other realms in technology and in coming to each other's help in times of trouble."The Siachen Glacier is a bone of contention between India and Pakistan. The Indian Army had gained control of it in 1984. Pakistan had made several assaults to capture it, but failed. Meanwhile, there have been reports claiming that China has constructed a road in the Shaksgam Valley, located north of Siachen, although the army has denied it in the past. On the army's strategy for the border with China, Naravane explained, "we have to balance out our requirements and deployments to cater for both west and north. For the northern frontiers, we are going for capacity building, which include building roads to forward areas, habitats, storage for ammunition and moving some of our advanced weapons system to eastern side. In a way of balancing out we can meet a threat from any direction. As a result of this rebalancing, we are now prepared for this challenge."The Army Chief said that the army's perspective plan and evaluation of threats and challenges over the years was focussed on the western front. "We now feel that both the western and northern fronts are equally important. In that context, that rebalancing is taking place," he said. In scenarios where there are simultaneous threats from both Pakistan and China, he explained that there will be a primary front and a secondary front. "The bulk of our forces and resources will be concentrated on the primary front. On the other front, we will adopt a more deterrent posture, so that we are not found wanting," he said.Dual-task formations that are ready to shift from the western to the eastern front and vice versa gain importance in this situation. "In this manner, we will be able to deal with both fronts to ensure territorial integrity is not compromised," he said.Naravane explained that the long term threat will always be conventional war and preparations in terms of improving training and new acquisitions are being made. "The short term requirement of getting involved in counter insurgency and counter-terrorist operations will remain for the possible future. But with the Rashtriya Rifles and Assam Rifles battalions who are facing the brunt of counter-insurgency and counter-terrorist operations, the regular army is training for its primary role which is the conventional war," he said."The various we are making, be it the towed gun system or ultra light howitzers and those in the electronic warfare domain is for conventional war. We have not lost sight of our primary aim, while remaining engaged in CI, CT operations," he added.
LONDON: Iranian authorities briefly detained Britain's ambassador in Tehran on Saturday, according to Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab, after he was reportedly arrested during protests against the regime. "The arrest of our ambassador in Tehran without grounds or explanation is a flagrant violation of international law," Raab said in a statement after the detention of Rob Macaire. The minister warned Iran that it was "at a cross-roads moment", and had to choose between "its march towards pariah status" or "take steps to de-escalate tensions and engage in a diplomatic path forwards." Macaire was arrested for allegedly "inciting" protesters in Tehran angry at the military's accidental downing of a Ukranian passenger jet, killing 176 people, most of them Iranian citizens, according to the Daily Mail. He was released after around an hour, it added. President Hassan Rouhani said a military probe into the tragedy had found "missiles fired due to human error" brought down the Boeing 737, calling it an "unforgivable mistake". The admission was an "important first step", Prime Minister Boris Johnson said earlier Saturday. "We will do everything we can to support the families of the four British victims and ensure they get the answers and closure they deserve," he said in a statement issued by his Downing Street office. Johnson added that Britain would work closely with Canada, Ukraine and other international partners to ensure "a comprehensive, transparent and independent international investigation and the repatriation of those who died." "This tragic accident only reinforces the importance of de-escalating tensions in the region," he said. "It is vital that all leaders now pursue a diplomatic way forward."

NEW DELHI: Thousands of small-scale traders in India are planning to organise protests against Amazon.com Inc founder Jeff Bezos, who will visit the country next week for a company event and potential meetings with government officials.Bezos will participate in an Amazon event in capital New Delhi aimed at connecting with small and medium-sized enterprises, three sources told Reuters.He has also sought meetings with the prime minister and other government officials, with conversations expected to centre around e-commerce, one of the sources familiar with the matter said.Details of Bezos' visit, including his arrival date and the duration of his stay are not known.Amazon did not respond to a request to confirm the visit. The prime minister's office also did not respond to requests for comment.The Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT), a group representing roughly 70 million brick-and-mortar retailers, said it will protest across 300 cities during Bezos' stay in the country.CAIT has since 2015 waged a battle against online retailers Amazon and Walmart-controlled Flipkart, accusing them of deep discounts and flouting India's foreign investment rules.Both e-tailers have denied the allegations.Amazon has previously said its platform provides business opportunities to thousands of small sellers, artisans, weavers and women entrepreneurs. But CAIT is not convinced."We plan to organise peaceful rallies against Jeff Bezos in all major cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata as well as smaller towns and cities," Praveen Khandelwal, the group's secretary general told Reuters."We expect to mobilise at least 100,000 traders in the protests."With its 1.3 billion population and the world's second-biggest smartphone user base that relies on cheap data for social media and online shopping, India is a key market for U.S. retailers Amazon and Walmart to grow their business.Discounts on their platforms have helped lure Indians to shop online for everything from groceries to large electronic devices, a phenomenon which traders say has unfairly hurt their business.New Delhi introduced rules last year to protect nearly 130 million people dependent on small-scale retail -- a key voter base -- by deterring large online discounts.The rules forced e-commerce firms to change their business structures, drawing criticism from the United States and straining the two countries' trade ties.The federal commerce ministry is reviewing complaints and evidence filed by CAIT against Flipkart and Amazon, Reuters reported previously.

Canada's Department of Justice said a Huawei executive arrested in Vancouver could be extradited to the United States, because her offense is a crime in both countries, according to documents released Friday. Huawei chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou, who was originally detained on a US warrant in late 2018, faces an extradition hearing in Vancouver that begins on January 20. The United States accuses Meng of lying to banks about violating Iran sanctions. However Meng's lawyers maintain that she cannot be turned over to the United States, because in order for that to happen, her offense would have to meet a "double criminality" standard -- meaning it is a crime in both countries. Violating US sanctions against Iran, they say, is not a crime in Canada. However in the documents filed in Vancouver Friday, which were widely cited by media, Canada's attorney general said the "essence" of her banking interactions amounted to fraud, which is a crime in the country. The first week of Meng's extradition hearing will be devoted to the question of double criminality. Meng, who lives under house arrest at her mansion in Vancouver, denies the US allegations and says Canadian authorities violated her rights during the arrest. Her detention at the Vancouver airport in December 2018 caused an unprecedented diplomatic rift between Canada and China, which demands her release. Just nine days later China detained former Canadian diplomat Michael Kovrig and businessman Michael Spavor, whom it accuses of espionage.
A fitness coach helps someone achieve their fitness goals by teaching them exercises and wellness strategies. If you're hoping to become a fitness coach, the first step is narrowing down your focus to one type of fitness. Look for a certification program that you can take to prepare you for the certification exam. Once you've finished the program, take the exam to obtain your certification, letting you start training clients. Either start applying to fitness jobs you're interested in, or market yourself as a personal fitness coach to gain clients and start your fitness coaching career.
Decide what your fitness focus will be. Choose whether you'll be a group fitness instructor, teaching things like cycling, step aerobics, or boxing, or if you'll be a personal trainer who only works with individual clients. Decide if you want to work in a class setting, work one-on-one, or even do both, as well as picking a specific type of fitness.[1]
Most professional fitness certifications, like ACE or NASM, offer certifications for many different specific types of fitness.
For example, a group fitness instructor might take the ACE Group Fitness Instructor Exam, while a personal trainer could get their certification through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) with a weight loss specialization.
If you're a group fitness teacher, you'll choreograph movements for your own classes.
A fitness coach who only works with individual people at once will need knowledge about how to create a fitness plan based on one person's fitness goals, meaning knowledge about various types of fitness goals is desired.
Research online programs that offer the training you need. Certification programs are online courses that offer the content you'll need. Once you've chosen your desired fitness type, search for certification programs online that will teach you everything you need to know to pass your specific certification. Popular options include the American Council on Exercise (ACE), International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA), or the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA). Each of these will let you choose the specific type of specialization you'd like.[2]
Explore what different certification courses offer online so that you can choose the best one for your needs.
Programs are also offered by the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM).
Enroll in your chosen program and pay all the required fees. Many programs have options for how much or how little you'd like to purchase. For example, you might have access to live workshops, coaches and mentors, or an accelerated program if you pay a higher price. Besides paying for the actual program, you'll likely need to pay for the exam and learning materials (such as textbooks) as well.[3]
The prices for each organization range widely, with programs costing anywhere from $450-$1,200 or more. Some programs include the cost of the exam in their program total, so check before submitting your payment to see if it's included.
Many programs offer deals giving you a certain percentage off if you sign up quickly.
Complete the coursework to learn the certification requirements. Most programs are online and will offer a digital or physical textbook, video lectures, and practice exams. Take your time as you're going through the coursework, studying the information thoroughly to be sure you remember it all. Check out what kind of extra study guides or learning activities your program offers.[4]
While participating in the program, you'll learn about nutrition, exercise techniques, anatomy, and other topics related to your specific certification.
These programs are usually self-paced, meaning you can take as long or as a short of a time studying the coursework as needed.
A few programs may require that you finish the coursework in a certain amount of time, such as three months.
Take the certification exam after studying all of the important elements. The exam will contain a written test, and many exams also contain a practical section that tests your understanding of proper exercise techniques. Study the program material thoroughly before taking the test so you're sure to pass it.[5]
Many certification programs offer study materials such as practice tests and workshops to help you get ready.
The exam will also test your ability to create exercise programs for different clients' needs, as well as how to assess someone's fitness level.
Get CPR training, as many jobs or certification agencies require it. Whether your certification requires it or not, CPR is a very useful skill to have as a fitness coach because it ensures you can help a client out if they ever need medical assistance. Find a local CPR class near you and sign up to learn the proper training.[6]
Find a class by typing "CPR classes near me" into an online search engine.
Earn a degree in a health- or fitness-related field, if applicable. Some employers may require you to have a bachelor's degree, or even a master's degree, in a subject such as kinesiology, physical education, or exercise science. If you have the resources and desire to further your education, consider enrolling in a college that offers a fitness-related subject you'd like to study, taking classes in person or online.[7]
Do an online search to find colleges and universities that offer degrees related to fitness and wellness.
Apply to jobs at places like boutique fitness companies and gyms. These sorts of places are almost always looking for new people to teach clients. Send in your resume or apply to open jobs at recreation centers, health clubs, dance studios, or other fitness associations.[8]
Have a resume that reflects your skills, education, and certification related to the job you're applying for.
Build your own client base if you want to be self-employed. If you'd rather be in charge of your own schedule and work with clients one-on-one, create a brand for yourself. Decide what you'll offer clients in the way of exercise and health coaching, gather any equipment you'll need for the training, and put your information on social media and online for people to find.[9]
Consider creating your own website or social media page to promote your business.
Offer to meet clients at a gym that you're a member of, or outdoors if the weather is nice.
The gear you'll need to work with clients will depend on your specialized fitness instruction. For example, a personal fitness trainer might need access to things like weights and resistance bands while a yoga instructor needs yoga mats or yoga blocks.
Bring one set of equipment to share with your client, or suggest that your client purchase their own equipment to keep with them.
Spread the word that you're a certified fitness coach using social media and videos. Make videos of clips of your workout routines so people get an idea of what it's like to train with you. Create Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn pages so that more and more people will be able to find your services.[10]
Reach out to people locally by attending fitness meetups or workout events.
Consider being an online-only fitness coach who creates videos for a wide audience to reference.
Team up with another certified fitness coach to help you gain experience. This is a great way to learn the ins and outs of being a fitness coach in a more hands-on way. Ask a fitness coach that you know if you could teach a client or class alongside them. Pay attention to how they interact and instruct their clients to learn from their methods.[11]
This is especially helpful if you're nervous about coaching clients by yourself for the first time.
Continue learning about staying healthy, both through food and exercise. To be a successful fitness coach, learn as much about health and wellness as possible, including nutrition, how to control your weight, and healthy lifestyle practices. Use this knowledge to help your clients reach their fitness and health goals.[12]
Knowing as much as possible about health and fitness will show that you're passionate about the subject.
Read health and fitness books, attend conferences and classes, watch videos, and participate in other fitness classes to help you learn new things.
Stay energetic and encouraging to practice your motivational skills. A great fitness coach can motivate people to keep going even when they don't want to. Practice this skill by doing things like staying positive when you're teaching, using an encouraging voice, and exuding energy that's contagious.[13]
Watch other fitness trainers in action to see how they give off energy while motivating others.
You might say things like, "You're doing great! See if you can push yourself a little bit further!"
Practice demonstrating and explaining different exercise techniques. This is the best way your clients will learn from you. Spend time pretending that you're teaching someone different exercises, going slowly and making sure to explain the proper form with your words as well as with your body.[14]
Practice explaining any safety rules that go along with an exercise, or how to tell when you're doing an exercise right.
Learn how to make modifications to your exercise routine or class. Sometimes a client or class participant won't be able to do exactly what you've planned for the routine due to a physical limitation or other factor. Always have modifications planned for each exercise so that everyone is able to participate in some kind of way.[15]
You might have different variations of an exercise depending on the person's skill level.
For example, you might show them how to do a regular pushup with both legs extended, with the modified version being a pushup on their knees.
Keep your certification (your fitness training certification as well as your CPR certification) up to date by renewing it before it expires, often every 1-2 years.
Look up requirements regarding your state's fitness certification standards.
Some employers may require you to have a bachelor's degree in a fitness-related subject such as kinesiology, physical education, or exercise science.
Consider hiring your own fitness coach to learn from their techniques and examples.
If your cellphone has gotten wet, don't despair. Even if you dropped it into the sink, toilet, or bathtub, you may be able to save it. The most important thing you can do is act fast. Take it out of the water as soon as possible. Then turn it off, take out the battery, and remove all accessories. Try to remove as much water from it as you can with towels and a vacuum cleaner. Then, put it in a bowl of instant rice or other absorbent material for 48-72 hours before turning it on. With a little luck and fast action, your cellphone may survive its brush with death.
Take your phone out of the water as soon as possible unless it's plugged in. The longer your phone's in water, the more damage it will sustain. If your phone has been submerged for a long period of time, you may not be able to resuscitate it.[1]
Disconnect the power if your phone is plugged in and in water. If your phone is plugged into a wall charger and submerged in water, turn off power to the outlet before attempting to remove it from the water. Taking your phone out of water while it's plugged in may result in an electric shock.[2]
Turning off the power at a fuse box is the safest way to do this.
Turn your phone off immediately, even if it seems to be working. Leaving it on can cause it to short circuit. If it's been in water, assume it is waterlogged whether it is still working or not.[3]
Don't turn on your phone to see if it's working.
Remove your phone's battery and cover and place them on paper towels. After removing the phone from the water, quickly gather some paper towels or soft cloths. Lay your phone on top of them while you remove the battery cover and battery. You will need a Philips screwdriver to open most phones. If you have an iPhone, though, you'll need a special "pentalobe" screwdriver.[4]
Read the manual to your phone if you're not sure how to remove the battery.
This is one of the most important steps to saving your phone. Many circuits inside the phone will survive submersion in water if they're not attached to a power source (battery) when wet.
To find out if the phone is truly water damaged, check the water damage indicator. In most cases, the indicator is located in the battery compartment behind the battery, or on the battery itself, depending on the phone model. Normally, it will look like a white square or circle. If this is pink or red, your phone has water damage.[5]
On many iPhone models, the water damage indicator is located on the side of the phone (in the SIM card slot) or at the bottom, near the charging port or headphone jack.[6]
Take out the SIM card if your phone has one. After removing the SIM card, pat it down with a dry paper towel or cloth. Set it on a dry cloth or paper towel to dry out until you reconnect your phone to your cell network. If your phone does not have a SIM card, you can skip this step.[7]
Some or all of your valuable contacts (along with other data) are stored on your SIM card. In many cases, this may be more valuable and worthy of saving than the phone itself.
Detach any accessories that may be on your phone. Remove any protective covers, ear buds, memory cards, or other things that attach to your phone. Be sure to expose all the phone's slots and crevices to the open air so they can dry properly.[8]
Put your phone in a bowl of uncooked instant rice for 48-72 hours. Pour 4 cups (900 g) of rice into a large bowl. Then bury your phone and its disconnected battery in the rice. The rice will help draw out any residual moisture in your device.[9]
Rotate the phone to a different position every hour until you go to sleep. This will allow any water left inside to run down and hopefully find an opening to escape through.[10]
Regular uncooked white or brown rice isn't as absorbent as instant rice and won't work as well.
Use silica gel packets instead of instant rice if you have some. Place the silica gel packet(s), your phone, and the disconnected battery into a container. Then let the phone sit for 48-72 hours to give the gel time to absorb any moisture remaining in your phone.[11]
Silica gel packets are those little packets that come with new shoes, purses, noodle packets, and other products.
Speed is the most important element in saving your wet phone, so use rice or another desiccant if you don't have any silica packets lying around.
There's no need to open the packets. Simply place them in the container with your phone.
Cover your phone with 4 cups (about .5 kg) of crystal cat litter. If you don't have instant rice or silica gel packets lying around, crystal cat litter is another option. Pour a layer of cat litter into a container that's at least in size. Then, lay your open phone and its detached battery on top of this layer. Pour in the rest of the litter to fully cover your phone.[12]
You can find crystal cat litter at most grocery stores and pet-supply shops.
Don't use clay-based or other types of cat litter. Only crystal cat litter, which is made of silica gel, will work.
Other desiccants, like couscous pearls and instant oatmeal, will also work just as well.
Suck the water out of your phone with a vacuum cleaner. Fit a hose attachment onto your vacuum cleaner. Then, set it to its highest setting and vacuum near all your phone's openings.[13]
If you have one, a wet/dry vac would work especially well for this step.
This is the fastest method and can completely dry out your phone and get it working in 30 minutes. However, unless the exposure to water was extremely short, don't attempt to turn your phone on this soon.
Use an air compressor to blow water out of your phone. Set your air compressor to a low psi (pounds per square inch) setting. Then, blow the air across the surface of your phone and its ports.[14]
Alternatively, you can use a can of compressed air.
Using a higher psi may damage the inner components of your phone.
Don't use a hair dryer to dry out your phone. The warm air may damage components in your phone.
Wipe your phone and battery dry with a soft rag or towel. As you're blowing or vacuuming your phone dry, gently wipe as much water off its surface as possible. Drying the inside of your phone is your priority, but you'll also want to dry its outside.[15]
Avoid shaking or moving the phone excessively, so as to avoid moving water through it.
Leave your phone in open air with a fan as another option. Place your phone on top of a dry towel or other absorbent surface. Then, if you have a fan, turn it on and position it so that it will blow air across your phone's surface.[16]
Wait 48-72 hours, then turn on your phone. Before turning on your phone, check to see that it's clean and looks dry. Wipe away or vacuum any dust and dirt from the device and the detached battery. Then, insert the battery into the phone and try to power it on.[17]
The longer you wait to turn on your phone, the more likely it is to survive.
Don't try to unplug a phone that's sitting in water, as it could lead to an electric shock. Remove your phone from water only after you cut off power to the outlet.
Don't try to take your phone apart unless you've been trained to do so.
Avoid trying to dry your phone with heat, as this may damage your phone even more.
Making snowcream is a delicious way to take advantage of living in an area that gets a lot of snow in the winter. Snowcream is just like ice cream, except it's made with fresh snow! Snowcream is thus not only tasty and convenient, it's also very easy to make. All you need to do is mix milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and snow in a bowl!
Clean a bowl and let it dry. Use dish soap and warm water to thoroughly clean your bowl. Let the bowl air dry overnight, or use a towel to dry it if you want to use it immediately.[1]
The bowl will need to be as clean as possible, since you'll be eating snow that you collect in it.
Making sure the bowl is dry will prevent unwanted ice forming at the bottom of it.
Place the bowl in a safe location outside while it's snowing. Put it on a picnic table or the smooth top of a dog house where it won't be easily knocked over. Falling snow is generally much cleaner than snow on the ground, so collecting it in a bowl is the best way to get clean snow for your snowcream.[2]
Refrain from putting the bowl on the ground to keep small animals from getting into it.
Make an ice bath in a bowl and set it aside. Fill the bowl ¼ full with ice cubes and water. You'll place the bowl of snow inside this ice bath, so be sure to not fill the bowl more than ¼ full.[3]
If you put too much ice and water in this bowl, putting the bowl of snow inside it may cause the water to overflow and pour out of the sides.
Take the bowl inside once it's full and place it in the ice bath. You'll want to collect of snow, which is equal to the the volume of your bowl.[4]
For best results, use the snow immediately after you collect it. However, if you can't use it right away, storing it in the freezer until you're reading to add the other ingredients to it is the next best thing.
Whisk your milk, sugar, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl. Mix together of milk, ½ cup (50 grams) of granulated sugar, and of vanilla extract in a bowl with tall sides to prevent the milk from splashing out. Continue to whisk these ingredients until they're fully mixed together.[5]
You can use any type of milk for this step, even condensed milk!
If you want to make flavored snowcream, use chocolate or strawberry milk for this step.
Add the milk and sugar mixture to your snow. Use a wooden spoon to mix the milk mixture and the snow together. Chop and stir the ingredients with the spoon until they begin to resemble the consistency of ice cream.[6]
Make sure the ingredients are evenly mixed, as well. You shouldn't see any lumps of sugar or dark spots in your mixture.
Add toppings to your snowcream, if desired, and serve. The snowcream melts pretty quickly, so serve it right away in small bowls for the best results. Some examples of toppings to put on your snowcream include sprinkles, chocolate chips, cherries, or whipped cream.[7]
Unfortunately, storing your snowcream in the freezer will lead it to freeze into a solid block of ice, so you'll have to eat it right away.
Cinnamon sticks are a delicious and aromatic form of cinnamon that can be used in a wide variety of ways. You can use cinnamon sticks to create various useful and one-of-a-kind crafts, or to add a subtle spice flavor to various dishes. When steeped in liquid, cinnamon sticks can also be used to make delicious, uniquely spiced beverages.
Use cinnamon sticks and leather cord to make scented ornaments. String a piece of leather cord, about long, through the hollow center of 3 cinnamon sticks. Fold the cinnamon sticks into a triangle shape, then pull the cord tight to secure the shape. Tie the loose ends together at the top. To hang the ornament, cut another piece of leather cord about . Loop it around the top of the triangle and tie it in a knot to secure.[1]
You can also use a piece of twine or hemp instead of a leather cord.
For more of a holiday vibe, use craft glue to glue a piece of tree garland onto the bottom corner of the triangle cinnamon ornament.[2]
Make a fall-ready cinnamon stick candle. Coarsely chop 4 cinnamon sticks and set aside. Set out your candle holder (you can use a jar, small bowl, or any small container you'd like) on a flat surface. Lay one end of a candle wick in the center of the bowl then wrap the other end around a pencil to hold the wick straight up and in place. Melt candle wax in a nonstick pan on low heat. Once melted, mix the chopped cinnamon sticks into the wax and quickly pour the hot wax into the candle holder to fill it about ¾ of the way up.[3]
Let the wax cool and harden for at least 15 minutes before removing the pencil and trimming the wick as needed.
To make your candle's cinnamon scent stronger, add a few drops of cinnamon extract to the wax as its melting.[4]
Craft your own homemade spice potpourri. Preheat your oven to . Thinly slice an apple and an orange and lay the slices flat on a baking sheet. Bake the fruit slices for an hour and a half, then remove them from the oven to cool. Once cool, mix the slices in a large jar with about 2 tablespoons (28.3 grams) of cloves, 3 to 5 cinnamon sticks, and about 2 tablespoons (28.3 grams) of star anise..[5]
Put the lid on the jar and let the mixture settle for 1 day before pouring out and displaying it in a bowl or decorative jar.[6]
Secure cinnamon sticks together for easy scented drink coasters. Set out about 5 or 6 cinnamon sticks. Add a dab of craft glue to the center of one of the cinnamon sticks, and press another stick to it firmly to secure the two together. Repeat this process until all 5 or 6 cinnamon sticks are glued together.[7]
To add a bit more visual interest to your coasters, weave a piece of colorful string or twine along the ends of the cinnamon sticks (like a log raft). This will make your coasters look a bit more finished.[8]
Tie cinnamon sticks onto gifts for an added personal touch. For an easy way to elevate your fall or holiday gifts, use ribbon, twine, or holiday-colored string to tie a few cinnamon sticks onto your wrapped gifts. The recipient will surely appreciate your added effort and the pleasant scent.
In addition to wrapped gifts, you can tie a few cinnamon sticks onto soaps, jam jars, or cider mix for an easy yet thoughtful gift for your friends, neighbors, or family members.[9]
Make a moth-repelling pouch for your closet. Fill a small mesh baggie or sachet with a cinnamon stick, 1 tablespoon (14.3 grams) of black peppercorns, and 1 tablespoon (14.3 grams) of whole cloves. Hang the pouch on a hanger in your closet, or place it in a dresser drawer to keep moths off of your clothing.[10]
Make an easy homemade cinnamon syrup. Add 4 cinnamon sticks to of water in a pot. Turn the stove on high to bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let the cinnamon sticks simmer for about 25 minutes, then turn off the stovetop and let the pot cool for 15 minutes. Remove the cinnamon sticks from the water, then add 1.5 cups (192 grams) of white sugar. Turn the stovetop back on low and reheat the water for 7 minutes, stirring frequently. Once the sugar is dissolved, let the syrup cool before using or storing in a jar.[11]
You may need to run the syrup through a strainer if any cinnamon stick particles came off while they were boiling.[12]
Use your homemade cinnamon syrup on ice cream, in cocktails or other drinks, or on waffles or pancakes.
Put a cinnamon stick in your rice cooker for a unique flavor. To give your rice a hint of a rich spice flavor, place a cinnamon stick on top of the rice after you add it to the rice cooker. Then, cook the rice according to the instructions.[13]
If you don't have a rice cooker, you can also add a cinnamon stick to a pot of rice and water and cook according to the instructions on the stovetop.
Cinnamon stick rice works particularly well in or with Asian, Middle Eastern, and North African dishes.[14]
Simmer a cinnamon stick in oatmeal for a comforting breakfast. When cooking oatmeal on the stove or in a slow cooker, add 1 or 2 cinnamon sticks, depending on your taste preference. This will give your oats an extra comforting spice flavor.[15]
Cinnamon sticks are a great addition to oatmeal made with apples, peaches, raisins, or pumpkin puree.
Use a cinnamon stick to flavor slow cooker meats, stews, and curries. When you're slow cooking beef, chicken, pork, or lamb, or when making a stew or curry dish, add a cinnamon stick right before you turn the slow cooker on. The cinnamon stick won't make the meat or stew taste strongly of cinnamon, but will add a subtle rich spice flavor.[16]
Adding a cinnamon stick to slow cooker chili will also add a great subtle flavor.[17]
Soak cinnamon sticks in rum for a homemade cinnamon essence. Pour of light or dark rum into a container with a lid. Add 2 cinnamon sticks to the container before replacing the lid on the container. Store the rum and cinnamon mixture in a cool, dark place for about 2 weeks, shaking it daily to ensure that the flavors are infused.
You can then use your homemade cinnamon essence in almost any recipe that calls for cinnamon extract.[18] Note, however, that the cinnamon essence will be a bit sweeter than cinnamon extract because of the sweetness in the rum.
Use cinnamon sticks to add spice to homemade mulled wine. Add of apple cider, 1 bottle of red wine, of honey, 2 cinnamon sticks, 1 orange zested and juiced, 4 cloves, and 3 star anise pods to a large saucepan. Turn the stovetop on high to bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes, then turn the stovetop off and let it cool before serving.[19]
Add an orange peel or cinnamon stick stirrer for an extra garnish.
Add flavor to tea or cider by using a cinnamon stick to stir. Make your tea or apple cider as directed. Once your drink is finished, use a cinnamon stick to stir while it's still hot. You can stir with the cinnamon briefly to add just a bit of flavor, or leave the stick in to seep while you drink.[20]
To add a bit of a kick to your cinnamon stick tea, add of whiskey, of honey, and a squeeze of lemon juice to make a cinnamon tea hot toddie.[21]
You can use a cinnamon stick as a stirrer several times before it'll lose its flavor. Just rinse it with hot water and let it dry before using it again.[22]
Boil a cinnamon stick with hot chocolate. To make a traditional New Mexico hot chocolate, pour milk, cocoa powder, and white sugar into a saucepan. Add a cinnamon stick, then turn the stovetop on low. Bring the liquid to a simmer while stirring consistently to combine. Once it reaches a low boil, turn the stovetop off and let it cool before pouring it into a mug to enjoy.[23]
You can either leave the cinnamon stick in the hot chocolate when you pour it into a mug, or remove it with a spoon if you prefer.
You can use a pre-packaged hot chocolate mix instead on cocoa and sugar.
Put cinnamon sticks in your coffee maker for uniquely flavored coffee. Pour your desired amount of coffee grounds into the coffee maker as you usually do. Then, lay a cinnamon stick on top of the coffee grounds. Turn the coffee maker on and brew as usual.[24]
This will only add a subtle cinnamon flavor. If you want the cinnamon to be stronger, use another cinnamon stick to stir your coffee while it's still hot.
Make simple cinnamon tisane for a comforting hot drink. Heat up a mug of water in a kettle or in the microwave. Once heated to your desired temperature, steep a cinnamon stick in hot water for about 10 minutes.[25]
While quite simple, cinnamon tisane can be very effective in helping to soothe an upset stomach.[26]
Because of its antimicrobial prosperities, you can also use cinnamon tisane to treat athlete's foot by making a larger batch and soaking your feet in the mixture for about 20 minutes as needed.[27]
