Hi all. I am involved with a group of rebel master gardeners who want higher standards for master gardeners
One annual class of between 20-40 students of which
on average 10% will fail to complete the class due to personal or family emergencies or because they can't make the time for it
Of the remainder anywhere from 20-40% of the people will fail to do the promised 50 hours of payback time in a year. Anywhere from 10-20% will not even do one hour because they lie to get in the class and have no intention of doing the volunteer service.
Of what remains. Only a handful of those who complete the 50 hours and become certified will continue on another year. On average of a class of 40 only 5-8 will continue in the program. In 2015 of a class of 38 about half the class did not do one day of volunteer hours and only 2 stayed on. In 2016 there wasn't even a class. Not because there weren't enough interested people, but because the classes were going to be on the other side of the island and the instructors did not want to go that far. The students receive 18 weeks (3 hours on a Friday) of basic training. No gardening experience is required. The thrust of the class is to train master gardeners to provide unbiased research based information to the gardening public.
Our gripes
1. Low retention rates.
2. People lying to take the class with no intention of becoming master gardener volunteers. We do not offer classes to the public.
3. Quality of the Master gardeners that graduate
a) 2 interns were granted certification for cleaning up the file system. They never did anything else, no helpline, or other outreach.
b) The coordinator is not concerned that the students don't have any real gardening acumen. All they have to do is pass an open book test and be able to look up information
c) an intern once told me that when she was training on the helpline, the clients often asked for a second opinion because they did not believe what she told them. I was not there so I don't know what she told them. She completed her hours and got certified.
d) a certified MG, not an intern, who does plant doctor booths and helpline
1 purchased an indeterminate tomato seedling in a f 4 inch pot at one of the monthly plant sales. I asked her a couple
months later how it was doing and she said not too good. She still had it in the same 4 inch starter pot.
2 I spent a morning with a certified master gardener. Very sweet older lady. She told EVERY caller to bring in a
a sample. She processed and labeled samples that were brought in but NEVER looked at any of them and told the
client someone would get back to them.
When I asked her if she had any clue to what the problem was, she said she thought it was aphids, but wasn't sure
and did not ask more questions or look at the sample to confirm because she diagnosis NOTHING.
What we want
1. Better selection of candidates. If we are going to have people take this class for their own benefit they need to pay for it up
front. Since the purpose of this class is to recruit more MG's as we are understaffed and they plan to expand to yet
location. Get people in the class who understand what a MG does and has the time and wants to volunteer. For this we
asked the students to tour the facility so we could orient them and weed them out.
2. We want a program we can be proud of
Master gardeners should be confident, trust what they have learned. Research more if they have not.
Mentoring of interns to get them through their first year to build on what they have learned and gain confidence
Master gardeners give real gardeners a bad name when they don't know basic gardening. And they are supposed to
educate who now?
The program does not value gardening experience, but we want real gardening opportunities offered to the students. We
have demonstration gardens, bee, grafting, pruning/fruit, rose, bonsai, herb, xeriscape, composting, propagation, and idea gardens
which need helpers and they can learn from these focus groups
3. The class does not prepare the students to understand or be able to garden. They are only expected to look up answers.
However, they can't look up answers if they do not understand the problems of real gardeners.
We want students to know gardening basics. Completing hours doing "filing" and office work is apparently ok with the program. But we think to be certified they need core MG skills of listening, diagnosing, researching, and giving people an appropriate answer, confidently or if they can't figure it out to get help. But they need to not use a formula of asking everyone for a sample, never looking or making a diagnosis and leaving it for someone else to take care of. Interns also get credited hours for signing up and showing up for a plant doctor booth and can sit in the back not engaging the public.
4. Before interns are certified, they need to complete their hours but also be evaluated as to the quality of information they are providing. The certification hours should be quality hours direct contact with the public either by computer, phone, or in person.
This has been a real uphill battle for us. We have made some changes
They agreed to a small increase in tuition, but it is not enough to make a difference and still does not provide incentive to complete the volunteer hours. We wanted to charge $300 more and refund a portion after the intern completed their first year requirements
They did agree to extended mentoring phase after the classroom phase
They did not require a garden tour but offered it to the next class and all but two of them accepted. We think those two will probably not complete the year. We have weeded out 3 more candidates. One because although her enthusiasm is there, she does not have the time, another because of his attitude, and the third we have redirected to be a garden volunteer because he said he was more interested in doing actual gardening.
Some of us could listen in on the interview, although we have no part in the final decision. The coordinator justified the low rates by saying for 10 years they ask every candidate if they understand the purpose of the class is to train them to do outreach and that they are expected to do the 50 hours payback and they all said yes.. I am thinking in 10 years you haven't figured out yet that people lie and maybe you should be asking something else.
We are working on incorporating hands on gardening as part of the class time. We cannot require it and we cannot take it from class time but can offer a hands on activity related to the class topic after the classroom time.
We are trying to get the students involved in volunteering in the garden before the class actually starts. Some of them sign up months before the class begins. We have run into issues with garden orientation requirements that make it hard to get people involved early.
Are we asking too much that they be more selective in who they let in the class and expecting the "master gardeners" to know more than how to look things up or make referrals. Are we asking too much that "master gardeners" have basic gardening skills?

About Your 40-Day Prayer: What We Do?
Prayers in Israel is a very special service that helps families and people to get answered prayers for whatever they may need when they pray to God, even for a prayer for strength. Many people around the globe are not able to fly and pray at the Western Wall, let alone do 40 days of prayer at the Wall, which is a very powerful prayer technique. This is what we do daily; we pray for people with all of our hearts. The idea is to help people help themselves, by helping them pray and having their prayers answered.
With your prayer request, we will pray for 40 days at the Western Wall for you. The spiritual technique of praying at the Wailing Wall for 40 days will increase the chances of having the prayers answered. For many generations, Jews in Jerusalem and Gentiles from all over the globe, have made this pilgrimage to the Wailing Wall to pray a prayer for strength and many more heartfelt requests. There is a holy ancient tradition of hiring a righteous person to pray in your stead since not everyone is actually able to make this pilgrimage.
We are located close to the Wailing Wall and this will enable you to have access to the 40-day special spiritual technique to have a pious individual to pray 40 days straight at the Wailing Wall on your behalf. Another reason for the 40 days is that is the number of days that Moses prayed on Mount Sinai before he was able to gain forgiveness for the Jewish people after the sin of the Golden Calf. See more 40-day references here.
It doesn't matter what the prayer is for. If you need a prayer for protection or a prayer for strength, money, relationships etc., you can join the millions of people who have had their prayers answered through this special spiritual technique.
Regular Prayer Request:
A pious prayer representative will go to the Western Wall and pray on your behalf as well as others for 40 days straight. $99. (Approx. $2. per day).
Personal Prayer Request:
A pious prayer representative will go to the Western Wall Exclusively for you and pray on your behalf only, for 40 days straight. $350. (Approx. $8.75 a day).
Personal Exclusive Prayer Request:
In addition to the Personal prayer request, over the course of the 40 days, your prayer agent will recite the entire Book of King Solomon's Song of Songs at the Western Wall for you, exclusively. $699.( Approx $17. a day)
The prayer will be in 3 parts. It is praise, request, and thanks, as well as the psalms which we will send to you when you sign up. Your messenger or Agent (proxy) will act as your prayer agent as if you were actually standing at the Western Wall in person. Your agent will go to the actual site of the Western Wall, and not just be in eyesight of it. We also donate a small portion of your fee to charity at the Western Wall before each day of prayer.
Today, the Western Wall Praying Services makes this ancient tradition accessible to many people of all nations worldwide.
Although prayer is usually a private and personal act, it is also an expression of deep personal pain and need. By sharing the hardest moments with another person, it can provide a unique insight, comfort, and strength. We are here for you to give you hope and someone to hold on to. We are here to care, to listen, and to pray together with you. We are also here to feel your pain and to do everything we can to help you get through your hard times with spiritual success!
Our prayers and support will help your own prayers reach the right place. Let the power of the Western Wall turn your hardships into opportunities to grow and celebrate!
Click here to request your 40-day prayer for a loved one or yourself.

Another blog request has rolled into the email inbox.
Counting this one, I'm up to at least two (could be more, but I doubt it).
A loyal reader (and anyone who wades through more than one of these blogs has to be considered loyal) has asked how to keep great new teachers positive and free from the negative tainting of veteran teachers?
Let's be honest.
Tainting is their word, not mine (don't ask me why, but it just seems wrong).
And if I knew the answer to this dilemma (or riddle) I wouldn't be posting it for free on a blog.
Can anyone say book deal? This is America, so I might as well make a little money off other school administrators' problems (have you ever noticed we all have the same 10 problems?).
But I don't really want to write(?) a book for two reasons.
One, nobody has asked (surprise, surprise) and two, because it would be an insult to everyone who actually knows how to use an adverb.
Since a book deal doesn't seem imminent (and by imminent I mean ever), I'm going to throw my 2 cents in for free just this once (this is blog #450 so once comes relatively often).
See if you recognize this situation.
New teacher is hired. New teacher is excited. New teacher arrives at school early and stays late. New teacher is upbeat and positive.
New teacher's room is next door to a teacher who's not quite as excited, arrives right on time and leaves the second they can, and can't be considered either upbeat nor positive.
Plus new teacher makes the rookie mistake of eating lunch in the lounge (Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!).
What happens next?
New teacher gets less excited, is told he or she doesn't have to arrive early and stay late, and gets less and less positive.
If it's happened once, it's happened 8.73456 billion times (guesstimate, but I'm close).
What should an administrator do?
Actually, I'm hoping someone will tell me (after all I'm not just here to babble… I'm also here to learn).
My suggestion, until someone smartens me up, is proximity and reward.
Separate your good staff from bad. Sometimes this is easier said than done, but it's worth a try.
If an upbeat teacher (not necessarily new) is drug down by a less than upbeat teacher (not necessarily old or veteran) there's plenty of blame to go around.
And some of this blame should land directly on the administration's desk.
A teaching staff has something in common with real estate: location, location, location.
While you cant' control attitudes, you can control where these attitudes go to thrive or die.
There's no exact science here, it's mostly trial and error (Welcome to Education).
Put great attitudes by bad attitudes. Put great attitudes by great attitudes. Mix them up. Move them around. Draw names out of a hat. Try anything (kids are worth it).
Teachers (and administrators) are hired to work in a school district. They aren't hired to work in a particular building or specific room.
Nothing says one teacher gets to stay in the same classroom for 40 years (it's not "theirs"… it's the kids').
Call the moving van (or custodian) and rearrange your attitudes.
Don't let one part of your staff dictate the mood of a building.
Another thing worth trying is rewards.
Overwhelm your positive staff members.
Give them the nicest room, more technology, cool erasers, good parking, candy, or something as simple as a compliment.
Everyone wants to be recognized as being good at their jobs. And nothing improves attitudes like free stuff.
This blog could have been titled Administratortudes, Principaltudes, or Pretty Much Any Peopletudes.

If all goes according to plan the inaugural 50th Anniversary Independence Barbados Olympic Association (BOA) Games could become an annual event.
Speaking during Wednesday's opening ceremony held at the BOA in Wildey, St Michael under the theme: Celebrating Bajan Sports and Sports Persons, interim chief executive officer of the National Sports Council and the Gymnasium Limited, Jerry Blenman, said that if the games were impactful they could become long term.
Blenman who spoke on behalf of Stephen Lashley, Minister of Culture, Sports and Youth, who is currently out of the island, commended the BOA for what he described as a special initiative that afforded sports personalities, enthusiasts and Barbadians in general, an opportunity to participate in the golden anniversary celebration and to recognize their rich sporting heritage.
"Notwithstanding that these games are intended to be part of the 50th anniversary celebrations, it is hoped that the impact will be such that it will merit the hosting of Barbados Independence Games on an annual basis. Several of our athletes have made us extremely proud, however we recognize that the momentum attributed to past successes is not as impactful as we would wish it to be today and so we still have a way to go. It is therefore up to us to continue writing our names on history's page," Blenman said.
The Games started Thursday and conclude Sunday, December 11 with 25 sporting federations hosting activities. A number of overseas competitors are expected to participate in various sports including boxing, judo and rugby.
In addition Blenman explained that sports could no longer be seen as a pastime but instead a new economic reality in Barbados.
"We must transition if we are to be a nation serious about sports to having this become a real part of our economic sector and indeed an area by which many of our young and talented sports persons can find meaningful career paths. As we consider the future of our nation the time has come to ensure that our love for sports is expanded beyond mere recreation and leisure. We must therefore urge all Barbadians to recognize and capitalize on the immense potential sports has with respect to health, economics, social and economical benefits," he said.
Chairman of the Games Organizing Committee Lieutenant Trevor Browne told specially invited guests that included athletes and administrators that the realization was that athletes, sporting heroes, sports administrators and coaches were much too important and played too vital a role in national society not to be featured greatly in any 50th anniversary celebrations in Barbados.
He said that the games were almost non-existent due to a number of reasons that included lack of sports facilities and very tight financial constraints but he thanked the federations for enthusiastically coming on-board to make the games a reality.
According to Browne, the objectives for the Independence games was to produce a high quality series of events that brought out the very best in Barbadian athletes, coaches and sports administrators and specifically gave them a chance to show off their skills to the public. He said they were also to create exciting avenues through which corporate Barbados and the Barbados Olympic Association could co-operate to the mutual benefit of national sports and businesses and to generate a renewed level of excitement of competitiveness and eagerness among athletes, technical officials and sports fans.
Browne, also a sitting member of the BOA executive board of directors, explained that the games would be executed along the lines of the other BOA-sponsored games such as the Olympic Games, Commonwealth Games and Central American and Caribbean Games.
"What this means is that the Olympic principles of excellence, respect and fair play will be the over-riding considerations driving the games' organization. While the BOA supports and encourages the use of monetary rewards for winning athletes where possible, we strongly believe where possible that this particular category of games must be reserved to honour the spirit and value of sports where the ultimate goal is not so much about winning but more about being part of the great exhibition of sportsmanship and exhibition where everyone should be seen as winners. There will therefore be no direct presentation of monetary prizes provided by the BOA to winners of these games. However the individual national federations are free to use their own discretion and resources as they see fit.
"What we will be seeking to do actively and aggressively in the BOA is to identify our various sports champions, both male and female in each of the sports taking part. This is something we actively want to do to identify and to be able to recognize and promote those who really stand out with the potential to do well in sports," Browne said.
Meanwhile assistant secretary general of the BOA, Cameron Burke, said they were delighted with the enthusiastic response from the various sporting federations and invited all Barbados to come out and be part of a unique sports celebration.

There hasn't been a melt-down like that since the Cubs were in the LCS.

That was one of the most pathetic displays I have seen. And in 25 years of Cubfandom, I have seen some pathetic displays.
On the plus side, I won't have to worry about changing my license plate.

It's not like the Dbacks are THAT much better than the Cubs. They only won five more games this year. The Cubs could have done that if Zambrano had taken Barrett out for a beating in April instead of June. It would just be nice if it looked like they were at least trying.

The Cubs are, um, in the playoffs?
Yes, it's true. The Cubs have, uh, won the NL Central and are actually going to play in October (and not in a terrorist-attack-extended season). No, I can't believe it either. Right now I don't feel in a position to predict the outcomes of any of the games, or the series. But I do believe that it will go to five games, and Derrek Lee will not let a ball go through his legs ala Durham/Buckner.

The Official Opposition National New Democrats are coming to the aid of their third party cousins on the rock while Third Party Liberal Justin Trudeau is coming to town to raise some badly needed cash for the Official Opposition Liberals.
It will cost you $150.00 a ticket to hear freshly minted Official Opposition NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair on May 12th.
The cash hungry Liberals want $250 a plate for Justin Trudeau on May 02, at the Delta. Tables will cost $2500. The Platinum package will sell for $3500 which includes dinner for ten, a VIP reception before dinner, photograph with Justin and corporate sponsorship.
I saw a Tweet from a Liberal yesterday encouraging people to purchase Trudeau tickets now because they are running out!
I have a couple of questions. One for Thomas Mulcair, how can he ask Canadians to accept him as Prime Minister if hates the Charter? As David Atkin asked today, "Why does he think the Constitution Act "is still unacceptable for Quebec?"
The other, who will be leader at the Trudeau event, Jones or Ball?
I figure it is time to start counting my pennies, I need 40,000 of them to attend both diners.
These will be two really good speeches from two people who will undoubtedly be offering themselves as Alternatives to the Conservatives. Both men will also be shaping their respective parties vision and policies over the next three years.

There has been a vast amount of awareness raised and action taken for children with autism over the past decade—but people over the age of 18 are often left with few options when they age out of "the system."
Rutgers University is launching a new initiative to help. When it opens in 2018, the Rutgers Center for Adult Autism Services will be offering up to 60 adults with autism the chance to work independently at specific jobs on campus, and giving 20 of those individuals the chance to live on-site alongside college students.

Rutgers President Robert Barchi said the New Jersey university intends to demonstrate how educational institutions can become part of the answer by providing a model that integrates academic research, student training and community inclusion of adults with autism.
The school in New Brunswick is raising funds to be able to construct two buildings that will make the opportunity possible.
The first, which is slated to open in the fall of 2018, will house a program that offers office employment to people during the week. Conference rooms and computers will be used to conduct "life skills training". A second building nearby will house 20 adults with autism spectrum disorder. 20 Rutgers graduate students will also live there in apartments, each equipped with kitchen, dining room, living room and laundry room.

"UPA sanctioned roads even without having adequate funds. When they had about Rs.9,000 crore fund in 2014, they sanctioned roads worth Rs 43,000. But we are working hard to implement the programme," said Rural Development Minister Chaudhary Birender Singh in the Lok Sabha.
"Hence, the projects earmarked for 2022 has been advanced to 2018-19. We will ensure no nook and corner is uncovered," the minister said during Question Hour.
Replying to supplementary questions from members, including Bharatiya Janta Party's (BJP) Ramesh Bais, who said that often state governments do not provide true status of roads to the Centre, the union minister said, the government would ensure that no state faces fund crunch.
But, Singh said, in some states road projects are pending for more than five years.
"We have such instances in Bihar and also Maharashtra where works started but roads have not come up. We have asked the states to expedite the process of completing the works and if necessary even reissue the contracts," Singh said.
"Prime Minister Narendra Modi has enhanced the allocation for flagship scheme PMGSY to Rs.19,000 crore. And the government will build up 2,23,000 km of new roads by 2019," he said.
Kantilal Bhuria, Congress member from Jhabua, in Madhya Pradesh, alleged that the condition of roads was very bad in Madhya Pradesh and even sand mafia was exploiting the situation while people, especially in tribal belts, were suffering immensely.

3 Home Selling Tips In Oklahoma City
A few Strategies To Sell Your Oklahoma City Property Fast
It's usually harder to get rid of your Oklahoma City house than you'd expect. But it can be especially difficult if you have to get rid of your Oklahoma City house quickly. In this blog, we will have a look at several property selling tips in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma that will enable you to get a fast sale.
Tip #1: Give Yourself The Best Chance
The first thing you should do to improve your chances of selling your house fast is to "stage" your Oklahoma City, Oklahoma home. Buyers for the most part are unimaginative… Don't leave it up to prospective buyers to have to think about how they can use your house. You know which rooms are best for what type of activities. Paint them a picture with furnishings.
Look at the "curb appeal" of your property by putting yourself in the shoes of any prospective buyer. When a real estate broker or brand new prospective buyers pulls up… what do they see? Does your house look clean, nice, and as "beautiful" as possible?
If you don't have time to clean the inside of your property yourself, spend a few dollars and have a local Oklahoma City cleaner do it for you. Once it's tidy and clean make sure it stays that way. Not a single soul will know that " it was clean two days ago". Do whatever it takes to keep your house clean… make sure the kids stay in the backyard, eat out, etc.
If you do not have time to do the staging yourself, there are lots of local Oklahoma City property staging companies on the market… just drop by Bing or google and type " Oklahoma City house staging companies".
Suggestion #2: Enhance
Are you confused? Obviously, if you are going to be moving out of your residence you do not want to invest a lot of money in big improvements, such as a bathroom or kitchen remodel. You can easily make a few cost effective improvements that'll have a critical affect and bring more buyers.
It helps to point out a few "cheap" upgrades you can make to get you thinking of things you can upgrade- dishwasher, refrigerator, old washer and dryer, exterior paints. These things may cost you a few hundred dollars but you can expect to more than make up for it at closing. Plus, you can usually recover the cost of these types of updates -with interest – when you sell your Oklahoma City property.
We fully understand that sometimes what you need to do vs. what you can reasonably accomplish are two different things. At the end of the day you know what you can afford to do… if you feel that making even the least expensive necessary repairs just won't be possible, then give us a call at 888-509-6267 Ext 4 for a quick-fair as-is (no repairs/fixes/upgrades needed ) offer.
Glymph Properties buys houses all over Oklahoma and have local Oklahoma City, Oklahoma contractors that can come by and assess your property so we can get you a fast-fair as-is cash offer. Don't be concerned. We don't bite. Give us a shot to help you! When we agree to a price, you will definitely be very completely happy, we're going to be happy, and we'll do all the work to get the deal done.
Tip #3: Don't Distract
When it comes to buying a home, most buyers develop what we call buyers brain. Attention span of a squirrel. They take in everything. It's better if they see what can be vs what is… We're not saying your taste is horrible, but chances are it isn't going to look, smell, or feel brand new.
Staging was the first tip, so in this last tip whether you stage or use your existing furnishings, remove personal objects and clutter. You want your property to have a cohesive, light, airy, uncluttered style.
It is likely to be worthwhile to rent a storage unit for the time you are selling your Oklahoma City property and move as many of your belongings as possible there to keep it out of the way.
The more open space you can create, the larger your house will look.
To find a local Oklahoma Citystorage unit just Google " Oklahoma City, Oklahoma storage spaces". I guarantee you will find more than you know what to do with.

COOKING FOR MR. LATTE: A Food Lover's Courtship, with Recipes
In her wonderful debut cookbook, The Cook and the Gardener, Hesser, a food reporter for the New York Times, followed a year in the life of the kitchen garden at Chateau du Fey in Burgundy, where she worked as a cook. Hesser created four seasons of exquisitely simple recipes that inspired readers to consider the life of the land. More than that, however, she chronicled the gentle, patient way she earned the trust of the crusty, tradition-bound gardener, Monsieur Milbert. Now Hesser attempts to adapt the same organizing strategy to her roughly yearlong courtship of the handsome and talented Mr. Latte, aka New Yorker writer Tad Friend. Weaving recipes within her narrative, she presents a Sex and the City tale with dining and food subbing for sex. Readers join her as she jets to Rome and Spain, or enjoys New York dinner parties with the likes of Tama Janowitz or a crowd of stylish young urban achievers, culminating in Hesser's own wonderful engagement party and wedding. While the eclectic recipes collected here show sensitivity and taste, the spirit of gentle appreciation that gave Hesser's first book such charm is missing. Indeed, the text here comes across as shallow and lacking in wisdom (as evidenced, for example, by her telling a friend of a friend of Friend's that lunch at Jean Georges, a swank Manhattan restaurant, is "not bad... probably $100" only to be reprimanded that her lunch companion, a visitor from India, makes only $2 a day). The pervasive feeling of superficiality and calculation is compounded by the cutesy cartoons of Hesser as a sleek, big-eyed little doll. Self-promotion has its uses, but perhaps it should also have its limits—though this book will decidedly get some play among the socially, and culinarily, ambitious. 6-city author tour. (May)

Each School must have a Governing Body which is responsible for overseeing the running of the School, the appointment of staff, setting the policies the school follows, and ensuring that the financial and procedural affairs are in order. Governors do not get involved in the day to day management of the School - that is for the Headteacher, or the detailed teaching, but they are required to monitor the Curriculum and many other aspects of School life. They are also responsible for the School Buildings and Grounds.
There are fourteen Governors. As a Church of England Aided School the Governing Body is made up of representatives of the Diocese, the Local Authority, the Parochial Church Council, both Teaching and Non Teaching Staff, and Parents. The Headteacher and the Priest in Charge of St Marys are automatically Governors. There is a Clerk to the Governors who provides a wide range of administrative services and procedural advice. Currently Trevor Gasson is the Chair the Governing Body, and Martin Turner is Vice Chair.
Elham is particularly fortunate at present in having a number of parents on the Governing Body. Not only are there the two formally elected Parent Governors, but also several of the representatives of the PCC are parents.
The main Governing Board normally meets six times a year, but the work of the Governors is undertaken by three Committees that meet more regularly. They cover Finance and Property, Curriculum , and Pay and Personnel. Other Committees will meet as required, for example if there is an appeal against a decision made by the Headteacher.
If you wish the Governors to be aware of any matter then please contact any Governor, if need be via the School Office. We would far rather be made aware of concerns at an early stage rather than waiting till they have become major issues.

Changing The Way We Eat
Changing the foods we choose to eat can be progressive as it was for me but so rewarding. These are five groups of food that I highly recommend you invest in. They are:
Essential to good health is eating vegetables. However to reverse ageing I highly recommend that you eat raw organic vegetables. I use prodominantly vegetables with spirulina, chlorella, water kefir, rhodiola, etc. in my "rocket fuel" smoothies. I find this a quick and easy way to maintain my energy and nutrition level throughout the day whether I'm at home or out and about.
Fruits are also vital to a youthful body. Berries provide very good amounts of antioxidiants which help protect against free radicals. Berries such as Acai (over 50 essential nutrients, reduces inflammation), Acerola, Camu Camu, Baoab, Amla, Blackberry, Blueberry, Cranberry, Goji/Wolfberry, Grapeseed, Inca/Golden berry, Jabuticaba, Mangosteen, Maqui, Pomegranate Seeds, Raspberry, Schisandra, Strawberry. Just a couple since they have a high volume of sugar which raises blood sugar levels.
The debate rages on meat eaters vs vegetarian.
I have achieved the best result by including organic, grass fed red meats and chicken in my diet. I don't eat a lot but I certainly include them a few days a week. Fish is also a wonder food, especially that of the oily varieties like salmon, mackerel, sardines and trout. Unfortunately, one must be careful as to where the fish comes from as it can contain high levels of toxins and salmon is even coloured to look more appealing in the shop window! Go to the local farmers' markets and you should be able to buy wild salmon.
Nuts and Oils
I follow a ketogenic diet whereby I burn fat not glucose. I take a spoonful of organic raw coconut oil several times a day. By doing so one may shed some weight, but certainly have greater energy reserves. Coconut oil is the best investment you can make because apart from eating it you can use it on your skin as a moisturizer and sun protection, it's good to act as a conditioning treatment for your hair. I use a mix of coconut oil and bicarb soda (with no aluminium) to brush my teeth and I do regular oil pulling to clear bacteria and/or viruses from my body (a spoonful around the mouth for 20 minutes each day then spit it out).
Ancient foods
I am also living proof that the oldest of foods are the best. I very much favour the use of ancient grains, herb and spices. Acai, Ashwaganda (Withania somnifera), Baobab, Organic Cacao powder, Camu camu, Chia Seeds, Flaxseeds, Maca, Nigella Sativa, Nopal Cactus. Most good health food stores will be able to recommend what you need. I add these mostly in powder form to my rocket fuel and in my yogurt with a sprinkle of nutmeg, cinnamon,sumac and coconut flakes on top.

***Server must have vsFTPd installed for this feature to proceed. You can refer to below article
How to Install and Configure vsFTPd
You can learn how to create user to serve only your WordPress directory. This way, users or administrator will not accidently cause the server to break down if they accidently deleted some system files.
Start by Creating User that will only serve your wordpress root directory (which is /var/www/html)
useradd -d /var/www/html Username-Here
After that, we set password to the new user
passwd Username-Here
Now we have a New User with password created and it will serve /var/www/html as it's home directory, but we do not have any permission to modify the contents. To understand, type 'ls -asl' in your terminal and it should show as below.
As per on the screen, we have a drwxr-xr-x which means
(d) – refer to Directory
(rwx) – first set refer to user permission
(r-x) – second set refer to group permission
(r-x) – third set refer to public permission
Now we do not want to mess it up by modifying the owner of the folder or group. What we can do next is to add our new user created into group that have access in for this folder, which is 'root' (take note that this is GROUP and not user)
usermod -g root Username-Here
This will add your new user into root's group.
With that, our new user will have access into /var/www/html folder, but as previously noted, we only have (r-x) permission (which is read and execute) and we need to have a write execute in order to modify the files and folder.
Last step is to modify the folder's permission. Type command as below in your terminal
chmod -R 775 /var/www/html

I recently had the opportunity to work on a project for a new web application on the Ext JS framework. I am a front-end developer ("UX Engineer" by title) so my background is primarily in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. As such, my responsibility on this project was to implement the user interface design, which had previously been conceptualized in Abode Photoshop.
Starting off, I did have some understanding of the basic concepts, but almost no practical experience. A co-worker helped me install the necessary bits and get the project up and running. I completed my work in Aptana Studio 3, primarily because it provided an easy way to compile and run the project.
I worked on the project for about 5 days, which was just enough time to get a crash course in Ext JS and complete the tasks assigned to me. During the frenzy that ensued, I learned several things about the Ext JS framework that I felt were worth sharing.
- Ext JS takes a very modular view of, well, everything. Instead of working in a few massive documents, I found myself working in several small documents. In some ways, this was nice because the documents were easy to scan through and work with, but it also meant that I usually had a lot of documents open in Aptana. I had to develop a system for ordering the tabs so I could easily find the one I needed.
- Ext JS projects come with a pre-built interface that includes dozens of UI components that can be utilized at will. There are several themes to chose from that allow developers to create projects with little-to-no CSS required.
- If you need to implement a custom interface, it seems that creating a new theme is the best approach. Ext JS has a theming guide that provides a pretty good overview of how to set up a new theme.
- Even custom themes need to start with a base theme. This provides a basic set of styles for all of the UI components included in the project. The "ext-theme-base" includes the least amount of inherent styles and should be the easiest to override.
- Ext JS utilizes SASS, which allows you to use variables, math operators, and other functionality not available in regular CSS. This was also my first real foray with SASS, but I was already familiar with the core concepts. Although I looked to make use of the various benefits that SASS offers, I was working on a very small project and I found that I only feature I needed was variables. Unfortunately, in this case, I don't think the 10 or so variables offset the extra overhead that came with compiling the project every time I needed to check my styles in a browser.
- Even the CSS is modularized in Ext JS. Ext JS has a separate SCSS file for each UI component (which I didn't touch) and I had a separate SCSS file for each custom view. That provides some organizational benefit, but, in the end, Ext JS compiles all of them into one file when the project is built, which nullifies any speed optimization benefits that separating the code may have also provided. It also means that you need to have a good understanding of how the final CSS file will be compiled or your style updates may get overridden by other code that is inserted later in the document.
- Ext JS allows you to create a "universal" style sheet in your theme that will be included on all views of your application. Under /packages/{your-theme}/sass/etc create a file name "all.scss." I used this file to hold the base styles for my application as well as my SASS variables and then had view-specific styles in separate files.
- Although Ext JS does allow you to create custom themes and override most default styles, there are still many instances where inline styles are inserted. In those cases, I found that I usually needed to apply the !important CSS snippet in my file.
- The generated HTML in Ext JS 4.x is massively bloated. Although there are ways to insert your own HTML, most of the time, I worked with Ext's UI components. A simple button generated by Ext might include like 10 nested HTML elements. I believe that the main reason for this is that the default themes still support IE6 and they need a lot of elements to pull off gradients, borders, etc. in exactitude in all browsers. This might be my least favorite thing about Ext JS, because it creates a lot of unnecessary overhead for the browser and makes navigating the DOM through Chrome's Dev Tools (or a similar tool) an essential step in styling anything.
- Ext JS has pretty good documentation. I found it to be a little cryptic until I had worked with the framework for a little while, but then it was quite helpful. However, if you do have a question that the document doesn't answer, I found that there are not a lot of other resources available. Even stackoverflow is short on answers. I'm told, however, that the Sencha forum is quite good in a pinch, but I have yet to try that route.
By the end of the week, I felt pretty comfortable working with Ext JS. There was a bit of a learning curve, but, between my helpful co-workers and Ext's documentation, I was able to overcome most issues with little trouble.
After a week of total immersion, I don't feel like I can fully endorse Ext JS. I can see how it would be a good tool for development teams that don't have any front-end developers, but it certainly didn't make my tasks any easier. In general, I prefer to work with lightweight frameworks that provide more control over the HTML and CSS.
What has your experience with Ext JS been like?

Did You Know Your Teeth Can Predict Health Problems? (Video)
(N.Morgan) A recently conducted study confirms that every tooth is connected with a health problem and separate organ in the body.
Experts report that the upper and lower incisors (first and second) reveal the health status of the kidneys, bladder and ears, and the canine teeth reveal the state of the liver and gall bladder.
The small root teeth, 4 and 5, are connected to the lungs and colon, and for the stomach, spleen and pancreas, check the big root teeth 6 and 7. Even the wisdom teeth may be able to predict the state of the heart and small intestine.
That doesn't mean that pain and organ issues always coincide with tooth damage or decay, which can be spotted by dentists during a check up.
In some instances, a patient complains of discomfort in a perfectly healthy tooth, while other patients might complain of aches in places where teeth have long since been removed.
This is referred to as Phantom pain, which occurs because signals from diseased organs enter the reflex area of a corresponding tooth.
There exists a close relationship between the teeth in the mouth and the internal organs in the body, so being able to decipher the pain can help in greater understanding of health issues that may arise.
What does this mean?
Simply put, if you know about these relationships, you can easily detect the diseased organ.
Diseased teeth can often cause headaches and other uncomfortable symptoms.
So, if there is inflammation in the root of the tooth, the corresponding pain may be in the parietal region of the brian.
Lesions of the maxillary incisor teeth can cause pain in both the frontal temporal area of the brain and in the diseased canines.
You should also be aware that damage to the teeth along the lower jaw may resulting in a radiating pain occurring in the area.
In some cases, consulting a dentist may be the best option to take care of the accompanying headache pain and the tooth pain. Double the relief.
Each Tooth Is Associated With Organ in the Body! Pain in Each Tooth Predict Problems in Few Organs
Pertinent information you need to know
Pain in the first and second incisors (upper and lower) – chronic pyelonephritis, cystitis, and otitis. The first incisor is connected to tonsillitis, osteochondrosis, prostatitis, disability to the hip joint. Constant dull pain in canine teeth is a signal of hepatitis or cholecystitis.
Pain in the number four and five teeth roots – this may be due to pneumonia, colitis, allergic reaction (asthma, respiratory allergy, rhinosinusitis), dysbacteriosis.
Pain in the number four upper tooth and the twenty-nine lower tooth – this may be related to issues with knee joints, shoulder, elbow, beam-ring, with chronic inflammation of the type of arthritis, colon disease (diverticulosis, polyposis).
Pain in the number six and seven teeth – chronic gastritis, anemia, duodenal ulcer, gastric ulcer, chronic pancreatitis.
Pain in the number six upper tooth – it is usually connected to sinusitis tonsillitis, pharynx diseases in mastopathy, tumor in the thyroid gland, spleen and ovaries inflammation.
Pain in the number twenty-seven lower tooth – issue with arteries and atherosclerosis.
Pain in the number twenty-six lower tooth – issues with veins (hemorrhoids, varicosis), lung (chronic pneumonia, bronchitis, bronchial asthma), polyps in the colon.
Pain in wisdom teeth – They are connected to coronary heart disease, congenital defects and other cardiac diseases.
Tartar is a sign from the endocrine system of possible gastric ulcer disease.

uhmmm your gums do. not your teeth.
I bet your real life head is shaped just like the guy in your avatar.
Takes an imaginative fellow who thinks up a screen name like "Man" to forget how to use a search engine. (Hint: Sometimes it can help with the search results if you… "uhmmm" capitalize certain letters.)
have you read it? they all talk about the gums
have you read the article yourself? they talk about the gums in all diseases I'll quote:
Gum disease can be a strong indicator of diabetes.
heart disease
Inflamed gums and gum disease are other signs of heart disease. (that causes loose teeth)
oral cancer
bleeding sores or have noticed hard lumps in your mouth (that can't form on teeth)
a receding gum line may be key signs that a diagnosis of osteoporosis
eating disorders:
bleeding gums
It really gets under you skin if i don't use capital letters. mihi placet
Taking poor care of your teeth RESULTS IN poor gum health. They tend to go hand in hand. Also, bad teeth can most certainly give doctors/dentists indicators of other aspects of your health.
"It really gets under you skin if i don't use capital letters. mihi placet"
I'm kinda proud of you for using one there. It really doesn't bother me at all. It just makes you look uneducated. If you want to give people that impression, then good for you. Not sure what those last two words meant. I could Google it but I don't really care.
have you noticed that neither links provide evidence that individual teeth are linked to specific organs?
because if you had obesity problems. that the tooth for the liver would be more damaged (fatty liver)
or with cancer, that a particular tooth is more damaged where the cancer grows
and with diabetes that tooth one would be more damaged
and with with alzheimer you don't see anything on your teeth. because no teeth is linked with the brain on this chart.
well you know, if you don't know the 4th most popular language in high school….. i think that states enough about your education
Man, I never said that certain, specific teeth were related to specific health issues. I simply agree with the fact that having bad teeth/gums can be related to health issues. I'm not sure what direction you are trying to go with this.
Are the "mouth health" issues an indicator of problems? Possibly.
Are you a know-it-all with a generalized understanding on the matter, or do you have some wisdom to impart upon us peasants?
A song, for you.
An oldie, but a goodie.
well, continue watering down your argument then
So does everyone with diabetes have bad teeth?
Hello Angle#3,
Charlie here. I'm disappointed you did not give a teeth location chart. I had to do a search on the internet. So the report was not complete. You must think this through better next time Angle#3.
However, I don't agree with toothaches relating to disease except through bad diet. But you do know this is one of the biggest indicators of a bad diet – is BAD teeth!
I'm quite sure you are familiar with a Dr. Weston Price? Read his book. I was so enthralled by his work I bought a copy and remained a member of the Weston Price Organization for many years. Coincidentally, at the same time the founder was of the WAP Society.
Many people have crooked teeth which the better informed tribes never had when they ate their natural foods and not modern Western foods.
So I watched the organization grow. I believe they are responsible for the BUTTER craze, the GRASS FED craze, COCONUT OIL craze, and EGG craze and many others.
I'm a believer in the diet except to the point of unclean meats and yes, doughnuts!
Charlie (I learned to brush my teeth with doughnuts after every meal) <-
Great, now my intestines are going to fall out.
You do not need teeth to masticate this article.
Hmm….well, I'm pretty sure my liver is shot to hell from way too much binge drinking in my college years, and I've smoked since I was 13 and am 35 now, so I know my lungs are probably going to crumble to dust soon. Yet my teeth are perfectly white and my gums are in great condition. Interesting article though.
….And when I say binge drinking, I'm talking one and a half to two of those giant gallon-size bottles of vodka and/or red wine a day. Actually, it's kind of amazing it didn't impact my teeth.
I have not been quite as lucky, but it doesn't seem to matter any more.
Binge drinking? Nah, I merely drink constantly every day (cheapest Rose I can find). Still a smoker. Don't eat much at all, insane, etc. The energy harvesting thing is no longer worth supporting.
Material existence is a charade.
If your teeth ache and you have a sharp pain in your rear end you may have just bit yourself in the ass in spite of yourself ! This is an automatic reaction that usually occurs if your overly excited when your bending over to kiss your ass goodbye !!!

Golden, a gateway to the Rocky Mountains on the west edge of Denver, offers a peek at mining, beer and Buffalo Bill.The grave of Buffalo Bill Cody, of legendary Wild West Show fame, is situated on Lookout Mountain above town. It's a major attraction in the Denver area, and the quaint museum next to it is worth a stop. While you're up there, stop by the Lookout Mountain Nature Center and Preserve and the 1917 Boettcher Mansion.
Down below, the smell of hops permeates the clean mountain air. The Miller Coors brewery was established here in 1873 by German immigrant Adolph Coors. A factory tour includes sampling some fresh brews.
Golden was such a boomtown, it was made Colorado's territorial capital in 1862. Local museums, including the Golden Pioneers Museum, will flesh out the amazing local history for you. Don't miss the Colorado Railroad Museum, where you can actually climb around on old trains.
The Colorado School of Mines makes its home here; visitors can view displays of rocks, gems and minerals and learn about how they're important to modern civilization in the school's geology museum.
If you're looking for outdoor activities, head to nearby Golden Gate Canyon State Park. You can enjoy all sorts of recreation here. Be sure to take a look around and remind yourself what this part of Colorado looked like before settlers and miners made their mark.

Using the TCP/IP protocol suite as an example, it is comprised of 4 individual layers that map directly to the 7 layers of the OSI reference model.
Every individual protocol maps to one of these layers. These protocols are constantly being updated and added to as new applications are created.
Also upper layer protocols rely on the lower layers, for instance, BGP (application) relies on TCP (transport) which relies on IP (internet) then say ethernet (link).
I hop this answers your question.
