First cultivated over 3,500 years ago in Mexico and Central America, chia is a multipurpose plant that was a staple food for Mesoamerican cultures and used as a cash crop in Central Mexico as early as 1,500BCE. Chia was as widely cultivated as corn and beans, as it was an essential part of the diet during pre-Columbian times.

After the Spanish conquest in the 1500s, out of the four Aztec crops, chia and amaranth were associated with religion and were banned, replaced by wheat, barley and rice. Virtually non-existent for centuries, chia was sometimes cultivated by small farmers in the high mountains. It was only in the mid-1950s that South American governments began re-establishing chia as an important agricultural product.

Chia plants will take between 120 to 180 days to produce a new crop of seeds and are hardy in Canadian zones 8 and 9. Tolerant to drought and poor growing conditions, Chia seeds produce a slime to hold available water close to them, retaining as much as twelve times their weight in water. Chia seeds are extremely easy to germinate, and they are quick growing and low maintenance.

Mature plants grow to about 5 feet tall, so plan accordingly for them to not shade other smaller sun-loving plants in your garden. The flowering plants will produce tall spikes covered with purple blooms that turn into pods full of seeds that need to be harvested quickly. Chia has been widely popular in the past few years as ‘’chia pets’’ and were re-discovered as a ‘’super-food’’ and as an egg substitute for vegans. Chia can also be cultivated as a micro-green and are often used in soups, salads and sandwiches. The leaves, fresh or dried, can be made into a purifying and energizing tea.

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS

Native to Mexico and Guatemala, Salvia hispanica, commonly known as chia, is a member of the mint family. There’s much to adore about the annual herb. It grows aggressively with little care, producing pretty blue flowers on tall spikes that bear seeds packed with nutrition and health benefits. Chia thrives in warm climates but can be grown successfully indoors in colder regions, with newly developed cold hardy varieties becoming more available.  

To get a head start on the season and ensure a crop of seeds in the fall, start seeds indoors early in the spring. Sprinkle the seeds on the surface of moist soil in a flat or pot and water well. Move the seeds to a bright location, under grow lights or near a sunny window. Thin the plants as they sprout and when they reach about 8 cm in height, harden them off and prepare to plant outdoors. 

Plant chia in full sun when temperatures stay around 21 degrees consistently. Chia will feel at home planted in a sandy, well-drained soil. Keep seedlings moist until they’re established. At this point, chia will need little to no watering, as they are extremely drought tolerant. Chia will self-seed, sowing new potential plants at the end of every season. 

In cold regions, chia may not have enough time to reach maturity. Fortunately, there are other ways to use the seed to take advantage of its amazing health properties. Chia can be eaten as sprouts and is also popularly grown as a microgreen. It’s quite easy to grow chia as a tasty and nutritious young plant. 

Evenly sprinkle seeds over the surface of moist soil in your container of choice. Keep the seeds moist until they sprout and then bottom water the sprouts. Give the seedlings plenty of light and they’ll grow quickly. Microgreen chia will be ready to harvest within one to two weeks. 

An excellent superfood is always at hand when you have access to chia seeds.

QUICK FACTS

- The word chia is derived from the Mayan word ‘’strength.’’ A tablespoon was said to be enough to sustain a runner for a whole day. 

- Chia seeds will remain viable for 3 years if stored in a cool, dark place, ideally between 4 and 10⁰C. After that, the germination rate may start to go down.

Great GPT reference
Format: Paperback
Everyone I know is seeking the best options to build AI/ML, and GPT solutions into their current offerings. The “ChatGPT for Cybersecurity Cookbook” (Packt, 2024) by Clint Bodungen offers a detailed schematic for building effective ML solutions into existing practices. The book includes ten chapters, each focusing on a different area. The areas demonstrate clear solutions for framing a solution, building effective tools and library interactions, explaining what the solution accomplishes, and offering advanced solutions. Recommend the book for anyone working to improve their ability to use ChatGpt in accelerating cybersecurity solutions. Each section approaches a different solution but the overall format is an outstanding deep dive for each section. The analysis starts with an introduction to the roles and formats. This details how to construct the ChatGPT query with enough guidance to answer the desired question. The next step suggests how the AI/ML tools find the right answers. The last section in every chapter details a “there’s more” showing how to expand the different questions. Chapters include building ChatGPT into Python language and API calls so one can not just launch a query, but have the query launch every time code executes. All the chapters follow the same path but with different answers. This cookbook shows how roles and queries can be modified to deliver what one wants. One of the biggest benefits is seeing role construction from a cybersecurity expert with 20 years of governance experience to a threat analyst who desires to incorporate MITRE’s ATT&CK frameworks. The book demonstrates how to dig into the various sections for success. Some of the later sections demonstrate how one can point ChatGPT at specific data factors, for example, the AI tool can not execute commands to find traffic data but can be pointed to already collected traffic data to summarize answers. One key flaw to remember is ChatGPT does not solve security problems for you. The best solutions point to frameworks and potential answers. The frameworks still need to be executed by a team or individual to create effective software models, it is just a step ahead in the overall process. That same framework really shows up in the threat analysis, training, and incident response sectors. Each solution builds a format to suggest some answers if pointed at the correct data. The answers are likely to be accurate but one still may need to verify against existing data and metrics. The other gap maybe if the ChatGPT tool is not pointed at specific information, answers may be skewed to what it can achieve. Overall, if you want a quick way to incorporate an AI/ML tool, then “ChatGPT for Cybersecurity Cookbook” provides an excellent reference. From the cookbook perspective, one gets all the recipes for various security items, what the finished product should look like, and potential areas to improve in the future. The explanations are all geared to cybersecurity Recommend this as a key reference for anyone working with ChatGPT functions.

Recipes for disaster!
Format: Paperback
I wish I never paid for this. I wanted to support the author and purchase it, but I'm regretting it big time. The book is clearly written by someone with great technical abilities, and poor communication/teaching skills. It also lacks clarity, and repeats some concepts under different sections without explaining why or what you're gonna do with that information, as if some explanations were incomplete... all in a way that it is utterly confusing. Codes have lots of errors, so get ready to debug the heck out of them. I needed this for a project which aimed to make some processes more efficient, and now I'm stuck fixing a problem I did not need, increasing my workload. One of the worst cyber security books I've ever owned.

Really nice first book set for little hands
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
This is such a great little book set! The books are small, have sturdy hard pages, and are super easy for little hands to flip through. My baby is 11 months old, and these are honestly perfect for this stage, they’re simple, engaging, and just the right size for early learning. I really like that each book has its own theme (like wild animals, transport, shapes, etc.). It keeps things interesting and helps introduce new words in a fun and easy way. Another big plus for me is that the pictures are photo-realistic, which I think is really important when babies are learning about the world, they can actually connect what they see in the book to real life. The quality of the set is excellent, the images are bright, colorful, and crisp, and the books feel durable enough to handle lots of use (and chewing, let’s be honest). I also love the sturdy box it comes in, it keeps everything organized and makes cleanup easy. Overall, such a nice little library to read and enjoy with your baby. Definitely recommend!

Perfect Purchase
Format: Hardcover
Wonderful. Perfect size for little hands. Colorful. Caught my grandson’s attention as soon as my son unwrapped it. A good number of choices, so it’s easy to keep my grandson’s attention for over. 1/2 hour. I’d say that’s terrific for a little guy. All in all, this is the best set of books I’ve bought. Money well spent! He’ll probably wear them out before a little brother or sister comes along 😂
