Food safety tips
for holiday season
Colder weather is settling in and it’s time
for warm cider, pumpkin spice lattes, deep-
fried turkeys and visits from the relatives
this holiday season.
Kids love being involved in cooking pies,
cookies and other sweet treats, while most
of us love to overindulge on all of the fan-
tastic food.
With an overindulgence of foods like tur-
key, ham and potato salad, folks should be
mindful of ways to keep food safe.
Here are some tips to ensure your holiday
season stays joyful and merry:

predictably and robustly.
“We seek the right balance of human and
machine teaming to meet future operational
challenges, by combining increasingly
capable hardware and software systems,
with unique human abilities in percep-
tion, judgment and innovation,” Zacharias
said. “Boiled down to its essentials, the Air

vision is: intelligent machines seamlessly
integrated with humans, maximizing mis-
sion performance in complex and contested
environments.”

gic objectives embedded in this vision. First,
develop sensors and data gathering technol-
ogy that can provide the needed informa-
tion for a system to better understand its
operating environment and mission goals.
Second, develop reasoning systems and
software environments to assess situations
and make recommendations or decisions.
