There are literally hundreds of iterations of cookies with various spreads as the foundation. Peanut butter, hazelnut, and almond butter spreads make for soft, chewy cookies and are popular with baking bloggers, but this white chocolate and cookie butter cookie is a great way to reinvent the classic speculaas biscuit. The spread was inspired by the Dutch snack which is comprised of white bread, a thick smear of butter, and is topped with speculaas biscuits. If the snack wasn’t eaten right away, the biscuits would soften, especially over the course of the day if it was packed for lunch. Cookie butter mimics this idea by pre-blending the oil and biscuit crumbs with a few other staples.

CLEVELAND (WJW) - The FOX 8 I-Team has sparked new developments in the case of a man sent to jail for not fixing up a home. Our first report sparked a firestorm and that has led to action.

This week, we uncovered the case of Jeffrey Ivey. Cleveland Housing Court Judge Mona Scott sent him to jail for 90 days for not making repairs to a home on East Boulevard.

"I don't think the crime fits the punishment.” Ivey told us from behind bars.

Now, Cleveland Councilman Kevin Conwell says he and local ministers are getting involved.

"I want the property taken care of, but he needs to be out," Conwell said.

We’ve reported that Ivey has been ordered to make repairs since 2019. No one lives at that home and the councilman says neighbors have complained.

We often see violent criminals allowed back on your streets, but this led to jail time.

PHOENIX (AP) — Rihanna is putting in the work ahead of her Super Bowl halftime show, focusing so hard on what she promises will be "a jam-packed show” that her upcoming birthday and Valentine's Day almost slipped her mind.

“The setlist was the biggest challenge. That was the hardest, hardest part. Deciding how to maximize 13 minutes but also celebrate — that’s what this show is going to be. It’s going to be a celebration of my catalog in the best way that we could have put it together," Rihanna said.

At a media preview Thursday ahead of Sunday's matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs, the music superstar and new mom said her appearance — her first live event in seven years — feels “like it could have only been now.”

The Voice coach Gwen Stefani has had some drastic changes with her facial appearance throughout the years. Though she denies having anything done, there are many still believe she has. In addition, they believe it may have rubbed off on her husband Blake Shelton.

The country music star has been around the block with his more than two decades in the music industry. Shelton is currently 46 years old, and it is only natural that the body shows signs of aging especially when you’re nearing your 50s.

Since the very public police murder of George Floyd almost three years ago, there have been a lot of talks about what policing is and isn’t — and whether police departments can change.

These conversations aren’t going away, in part because we continue to see tragedies with police departments often at the center. The most recent publicly-discussed event is the police killing of Tyre Nichols, who was beaten by several police officers and later died in a hospital.

In Detroit, police changes have meant doing away with violent units like STRESS, the Big Four and the Gang Squad. It’s also meant ushering in mental health co-responders to address mental health crises.

It was one of the great codgers of all time who once uttered the words, I can’t get out of my mind as the Super Bowl approaches.

“Nobody goes there anymore because it’s too crowded,” Yogi Berra once deadpanned. And that’s exactly how I feel about the Super Bowl.

It could be that I myself am falling into codgerdom. I’ve been to more than half of the Super Bowls played – roughly XXVIII of them –- and they stopped being fun about the time Joe Montana threw his last touchdown pass to Jerry Rice.

This is not an editorial on the game mind you. In fact, I think this year’s matchup between the Chiefs and the Eagles is absolutely compelling.

I plan to be right there on the sofa with family and a couple of friends, sipping a Margarita and pontificating on the nuances of a zone blocking scheme while my wife dabs the guacamole dip out of the corners of my mouth.

If you’re caught cheating on diesel emissions testing, the punishment is never a one-off. There’s usually a federal civil case, lawsuits filed in states, maybe even criminal charges and, inevitably, plenty of class action challenges. Mercedes-Benz already was was fined $1.5 billion by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Department of Justice and the California Air Resources Board as a result of its 2020 emissions cheating, and now the automaker is facing a group of 336,000 owners in the UK demanding their own compensation.

The latest streetwear fashion trend has hit the market and the Internet doesn’t know how to feel. 

MSCHF, an art collective based out of Brooklyn, N.Y., has created the Big Red Boot. It’s an oversized, bright red boot that has giant proportions. While some people already have access to the boot, the official release is slated for Feb. 16 at a $350 price point. 

Videos of the boots have circulated around the Internet, and the chatter surrounding them has been loud. 

“This is a social experiment,” said @romboozeled. 

“Bro had to relearn how to walk,” replied @theriverafamilyofficial. 

“I want a pair in each color,” said @thewheattoast. 

Release Notes are an essential and important part of releasing software and its inevitable updates.

These notes are communicated to engineering teams, to parties outside of engineering, and to the end users of the software.

But the problem is that Release Notes “require a great deal of effort,” according to a statement from Railtown AI Technologies. Employees waste hours engaging in repetitive activities, pouring through recent tickets and cross-checking them against published release notes to craft an accurate narrative of product changes.

The downtown Vancouver tech firm adds that this process “has become even more time consuming as new software development methodologies like Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment are becoming the standard process in building and releasing software.”
