30+ Strawberry Canning Recipes

  Strawberry season catches me off guard every single year.  I’ve waited through a long northern winter, and then it feels like I’m buried in fruit out of nowhere when the strawberries finally ripen.  While jam is delicious, sometimes you want other options. I’ve put together a list of all the ways you can preserve strawberries in a canning jar, from versatile plain canned strawberries that are delicious right out of the jar, all the way through drinks like strawberry lemonade, and even a few unique recipes for pickled strawberries and strawberry chutney. Canning Strawberries in Syrup One of the benefits of canning plain strawberries is that you can decide later what you want to do with them. It’s a great way to put up a large number of strawberries and still have the freedom to turn them into pies, jams, syrups, and so much more. If you have children, they will probably love them straight from the jar, and they’re perfect topping shortcakes for a quick dessert. Either wa...

Donald Trump sparks concerns after sharing chilling post stating “the end is near”

  Donald Trump has been surrounded by concerns regarding his health for a long time. Now, a newly shared video the U.S President has posted has put more fuel to the fire that something isn’t right. The U.S is continuing the conflict in Iran. After opening the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20 percent of the worldäs oil is transported, it closed again as Iran claimed ships had been attacked by the U.S. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump is continuing his erratic behavior on social media, which has many concerned about whether he is still fit to be president. However, some of his behavior might be explainable. Throughout the war with Iran, Trump has been changing his approach many times. At times, he acts very aggressively, and at other times, he tries to push for peace talks quickly. In a new Wall Street Journal report, Trump has been shifting between confrontation and attempts to make peace, while privately worrying about how bad the situation could become as the conflict lasts lon...

The shark fin on your car serves an important purpose

  If you’ve ever looked at the roof of a modern car, you’ve probably noticed a sleek little fin perched up there. You might be surprised to learn that the shark fin isn’t just a design feature to make your car look like an apex predator on the road. Instead it serves a few important purposes to make your ride safer, swifter and more fun! Old car antennas, often referred to as rod or whip antennas, were a staple of vehicles for decades. These antennas, typically long and extendable, served as the primary means for picking up AM/FM radio signals. Positioned prominently on the hood, roof, or fender, they became an iconic feature of classic cars. But, over time, advancements in technology and design led to the creation of more durable antennas – shark fins that are aerodynamic and typically found at the center or rear of a car’s roof. What does it do? The shark fin antenna isn’t just for catching the latest hits on FM radio – it’s a multifunctional little gadget. Here’s what it typical...

How Ricky Nelson saved the lives of his twin boys on the mysterious plane accident that led to his own death

  Ricky Nelson was adored by his fans for years as a teen pop idol and was one of the most televised musicians of his era. While many know of the mysterious circumstances of his death, not many know how a last-minute choice saved the lives of his two young sons.  Ricky Nelson was born Eric Hilliard Nelson in Teaneck, New Jersey, on May 8, 1940. His parents, Ozzie Nelson and Harriet Hilliard Nelson were known for their popular sitcom: “The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet.” Ricky was a small, shy child who struggled with severe asthma, often needing a vaporizer with evergreen tincture to help him sleep at night. John Guedel, Red Skelton’s producer, described him as “an odd little kid” — likable, introspective, mysterious, and hard to read. When Skelton was drafted in 1944, Guedel created the radio sitcom The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet for Ricky’s parents, which premiered on Sunday, October 8, 1944, to positive reviews. The Nelson’s sitcom ran for sixteen years, a record in ...

76-year-old grandmother ripped apart in comments after modeling sleeveless dress on social media - by Jonh

  Everyone has an opinion, but sometimes we forget it’s best kept to ourselves. A 76-year-old style influencer recently shared a photo of herself modeling a sleeveless midi dress and while the post was flooded with comments, they weren’t all positive. “It’s not the first time this has happened, but this one surprised me,” Candace Cima told TODAY. “People have such outdated notions about age-appropriate fashion, and that needs to change.” Cima, a grandmother to 11 grandchildren, showed off a brown knit sleeveless dress paired with a sweater. Many complimented the pro-aging influencer’s style, but many took to the comments to criticize her look. “From the side and back this dress does nothing for you. Form fitting below the waist is not your friend. Celebrate everything else about your body!” one person wrote on Facebook. “The sweater on, not a fan of the dress,” someone else commented. “Not flattering at all. Would never wear alone. Too old to be showing all that skin,” another user...

What Your Bowel Movements Could Reveal About Colon Cancer Risk

  What Subtle Changes in Digestion Can Tell You Most people associate serious health conditions with obvious, disruptive symptoms. Something sharp, unmistakable, impossible to ignore. But the body doesn’t always work that way. Especially when it comes to digestive health, the early signs are often quieter—easy to dismiss, easy to explain away. That’s part of what makes them important. In recent years, doctors have been paying closer attention to a shift that wasn’t expected before: colorectal cancer appearing more frequently in younger adults. A condition once associated mostly with older age is now being diagnosed in people under 55 with increasing regularity. That doesn’t mean every symptom points to something serious, but it does change how carefully we should listen when the body begins to behave differently. One of the earliest places that change shows up is in bowel habits. On its own, an occasional digestive issue rarely means much. Diet, stress, hydration—these can all affe...

10 signs of dementia you should never ignore – and the habits you should start today

  Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease are devastating conditions — not only for those diagnosed, but also for their loved ones. Early detection may not always lead to a cure, but it is still important in many ways. It can make a meaningful difference by enabling treatments that help manage symptoms, improving access to support, and allowing individuals and families to plan more effectively for the future. One of the biggest challenges Dementia is not a single disease but a broad term for a group of conditions that gradually impair memory, thinking, and the ability to manage everyday life. Although dementia is more common among older adults, it is not a normal part of aging. It affects more than 6 million Americans and accounts for more than 100,000 deaths each year.  One of the biggest challenges with dementia is its gradual onset. Early symptoms are often subtle and easily dismissed as stress, fatigue, or typical forgetfulness associated with aging. However, identifying these ea...

Five changes you’ll notice in your body after 30 days of taking Omega-3 fish oil

  Everyone knows that vitamin supplements can be a great way to improve overall health – as part of a balanced diet, of course. However, researchers say that three-quarters of the global population isn’t getting enough Omega-3. One way to increase your Omega-3 intake is by maintaining a healthy diet and eating foods such as salmon, mackerel, trout, sea bass, or sardines – all of which are rich in Omega-3. According to Harvard Health, the American Heart Association recommends eating at least two servings of fatty fish per week. “The omega-3s EPA and DHA are essential for health throughout the lifecourse. But to benefit from these nutrients, people first need to understand how much they should be consuming,” said Prof Philip Calder from the University of Southampton, according to LADBible. Another way to boost Omega-3 levels is by taking fish oil supplements. One doctor says there are five major health benefits to Omega-3 supplements – and that it may take as little as one month to n...

People are coming out as ‘Berri-sexual’ – here’s what it means - by Jonh

   Here at Newsner, we’ve explained ‘graysexual‘, ‘demisexual‘ and ‘almondsexual‘ over the past year or so, bringing our readers up to speed as we find out for ourselves in real time. Call it a sign of the times, perhaps, but it seems like there are new ways, new labels for one to define their experiences of attraction being created constantly. Now, let me make it clear that I don’t have anything specifically against this. I’m not some grumpy curmudgeon resisting change and vehemently complaining because things aren’t exactly the way they used to be. That said, it can all get a bit confusing. It seems like there are so many ways for people to identify, such a large spectrum of words with which to describe one’s sexuality and preferences when it comes to attraction, that it’s impossible to keep track. Which is why we’re doing our best to keep people informed and updated. In that vein, we thought it only right to shed some light on the concept of being “berrisexual”. As per repo...

Epstein survivor breaks silence with claim after Melania Trump’s shock address

  A high-stakes political moment has ignited a firestorm of controversy, forcing the shadows surrounding one of history’s most notorious predators back into the blinding light of public scrutiny. When Melania Trump took to the podium in the White House Grand Foyer to firmly distance herself from Jeffrey Epstein, she likely expected to close a chapter of persistent rumors. Instead, her declaration triggered a visceral, immediate backlash from the very women who suffered at the hands of the late financier as they felt their own painful experiences were being sidelined by a narrative of convenience. In her address, the former First Lady was unequivocal: she claimed no connection to Epstein, denied he had any role in her introduction to Donald Trump, and asserted she was never a victim or a participant in his world. She dismissed a resurfaced 2002 email—in which she wrote to Epstein’s accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, about a magazine feature—as nothing more than a “trivial note.” For the...

At 91, this legendary actress still turns heads after a facelift – see her transformation - by Jonh

  Few stars in Hollywood have managed to stay as instantly recognizable as Shirley MacLaine. With a career spanning more than seven decades, she remains one of the most decorated and enduring performers in American entertainment. Born on April 24, 1934, in Richmond, Virginia, MacLaine is 91 now and will turn 92 later this month. Her younger brother is Warren Beatty, and she began training in ballet as a very young child, an early discipline that helped shape the confidence and work ethic she later carried into show business. Long before she became a screen legend, she was already moving toward the spotlight. After high school, she headed to New York to pursue performing, a decision that did not shock her family nearly as much as it might have shocked others. She later reflected that her parents were so certain she would be fine that she grew into that certainty herself. That mix of discipline and fearlessness became part of her identity very early on. Her breakthrough came after sh...
