Customarily, rose or orange blossom water is added, as well as mastic. The pudding is then spread out in a tray and left to cool for at least two hours, often in the fridge. During this time, a syrup is prepared by boiling sugar, water, rose or orange blossom water with a chunk of lemon peel.

Once cooled, cream is whipped and spread over the pudding, which is then topped with chopped pistachios and the syrup. The dessert is then cut up into squares and served.

Sometimes, the pudding is not chilled in a tray but instead in glass or plastic cups and served individually, much like muhallebi.

Epidermis (botany)

The **epidermis** in plants is a single layer of cells. It covers the leaves, flowers, roots and stems of plants. It divides the plant from the outside environment. The epidermis has more than one function. It protects the plant from loss of water. It controls gas exchange. It makes metabolic compounds. In the roots it  takes in water and nutrients. Some parts of a plant may have a different cover called a periderm. Potatoes have that kind of covering.

The epidermis is the outer cell layer of a plant. It is also the main part of the dermal tissue of leaves, stems, roots, flowers, fruits, and seeds. It is usually transparent.

The cells of the epidermis can vary in the way they are made and how they work. Most plants have an epidermis that is a single cell layer thick. Some plants, however, have an epidermis with more than one layer. Epidermal cells are linked tightly to each other. They give strength and protection to the plant. In the parts of the plant that are above ground, the epidermal cells contain cutin and are covered with a cuticle.  This cuticle reduces loss of water. It is sometimes covered with wax. The wax gives some plants a whitish or bluish surface color. It also protects the plant from sunlight and wind.

The epidermis has more than one cell type. It can include epidermal cells, guard cells, subsidiary cells, and epidermal hairs (Trichomes). There are more epidermal cells than the other types.

Trichomes (or hairs) grow out from the epidermis in many plants.

Mueller Report

The **Mueller Report** is an official document. It provides information about Russia modifying the results of the 2016 United States presidential election. Robert Mueller released this official document to argue that Donald Trump had made use of help from Russia to become president.

The first half of the report shows that the Trump campaign had many ties to the Russians and that there was interference in America's elections. The second half shows how the President tried to stop the Russia investigation using the powers of the President.

Because the Department of Justice works for the President, Robert Mueller suggests that Congress should investigate.

“In this context, a balancing test applies to the separation of powers issues. Applying the test here, we concluded that congress can validly make obstruction of justice statutes applicable to corruptly motivated official acts of the president without undermining his Article II functions”
