The art of distraction

In Japan, police and convenience store clerks are equipped with an unconventional but effective tool to mark and identify criminals—paint-filled "anti-crime color balls." These bright orange or red spheres, filled with permanent dye, are thrown at fleeing suspects or vehicles during a crime or robbery attempt. Once the ball bursts, the suspect is stained with vibrant paint, making them easier to identify and track in crowded areas or later on surveillance footage. This method has become widely adopted in retail stores and law enforcement across Japan due to its simplicity and effectiveness. Unlike GPS or high-tech tracking devices, these balls are inexpensive, require no training, and don’t compromise anyone’s safety. It’s an ingenious blend of low-tech innovation and street-level practicality—one that other countries are beginning to notice as a clever deterrent against theft and escape attempts. #CrimePrevention #JapanInnovation #LawEnforcement #SmartSecurity #PublicSafety

Looking for a delicious low-carb twist on a classic dish? This Keto Chicken Fried Steak is crispy, savory, and oh-so-satisfying! Ingredients: - 1 pound cube steak - 1 cup almond flour - 1 teaspoon garlic powder - 1 teaspoon onion powder - 1 teaspoon paprika - 1 teaspoon salt - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper - 2 large eggs - 1/4 cup heavy cream - 1/4 cup pork rinds, crushed (optional, for extra crunch) - 1/4 cup coconut oil or avocado oil (for frying) Directions: 1. Start by preheating your oven to 200°F. This way, you can keep those beautifully cooked steaks warm while you finish frying. 2. In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Give it a good stir to combine all those zesty flavors. 3. In another bowl, whisk the eggs and heavy cream together until they're well blended and ready for coating. 4. Time to dip! Take each cube steak and first immerse it in the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off, then coat it thoroughly in the almond flour mixture. If you’re feeling adventurous, press it into the crushed pork rinds for an extra crunch. 5. Heat your choice of coconut oil or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. You want that oil nice and hot! 6. Carefully add the coated cube steaks to the skillet. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they turn a gorgeous golden brown and are cooked through. 7. Once cooked, transfer the steaks to a baking sheet and pop them in the oven to keep warm while you finish the rest. 8. Serve these hot, and for an extra treat, why not pair with a keto-friendly gravy or a side of steamed veggies?
