Restorative dentistry is a field which deals with diseases of the teeth, surrounding soft and hard tissues and their supporting structures. A dentist would make functional and aesthetic restorations for an individual on the basis of their requirements. The primary goal is to preserve the natural teeth as much as possible.
Restorative dentistry interacts with Prosthodontics, Periodontics, and Endodontics to treat diseases of the oral cavity, teeth, and their supporting structures. Treatments include fillings, crowns, veneers, bridges, implants, and partial and full dentures. The fundamental aspect of restorative dentistry is the prevention of damage to the tooth.
We offer a wide variety of restorative dentistry supplies. Some of them are listed below –
- Dental Cement – are a group of materials which are used for cavity linings, temporary restoration of teeth, to provide pulpal protection, insulation or sedation. Examples: Glass Ionomers (GI), Resin, Amalgam, etc.
- Finishing Burs – they are used for giving final touches on directly placed composites or indirect bridges or crowns after a dental restoration treatment
- Cavity Liner – it is a layer of material which is applied to protect dental pulp from irritation and neutralize acids
- Varnish – it is a layer of material which is applied to protect dental pulp from irritation and neutralize acids
Choose from a wide variety of dental restorative supplies at Medikabazaar. Browse from our large product catalog and shop now.

Diets high in meat, eggs and dairy could be as harmful to health as smoking: People under 65 who eat a lot of meat, eggs and dairy are four times as likely to die from cancer or diabetes, study suggests.
The important caveat there has to do with the age at which meat and dairy products really have a harmful effect on you--under age 65. This is not unlike the smoking effect. Most smokers start young and the ill-effects accumulate. That seems to be the story with meat and dairy, as well, at least until past middle-age.
The overall harmful effects seen in the study were almost completely wiped out when the protein came from plant sources, such as beans and legumes, though cancer risk was still three times as high in middle-aged people who ate a protein-rich diet, compared with those on a low-protein diet.
But whereas middle-aged people who consumed a lot of animal protein tended to die younger from cancer, diabetes and other diseases, the same diet seemed to protect people's health in old age.
My take-away from this is that a vegan diet is really the most healthy for you--and there are a lot of good vegan role models (Carrie Underwood doesn't seem to suffer from following a vegan diet--just saying...). It is also the healthiest diet for the planet, as I've mentioned before.
BTW--if you want to be blown away by a fabulous vegan meal, book a reservation at Candle 79 (79th and Lexington) next time you're in NYC.

BRUNSWICK, Maine – Elena Gualtieri scored an early overtime goal to lift the Connecticut College women's hockey team to a 1-0 victory over host Bowdoin on Friday evening.
The Polar Bears enter their final home game of the season at 3-17-1 (2-10-0 NESCAC). The Camels are 10-8-2 (6-5-2 NESCAC).
Game Highlights
- Bowdoin controlled the first period, outshooting the visiting Camels 12-3. Izzi Stoddard earned the Polar Bears best look as she weaved through three defenders and wristed an uncontested shot from between the dots. Stoddard's shot missed wide.
- Sammi Estes intercepted a pass at the Bowdoin blue line midway through the period and skated towards Kerri St. Denis. Estes came down the slot and wristed a shot which St. Denis blockered away.
- After peppering the Polar Bears in the first five minutes of the second, Elena Gualtieri nearly bested St. Denis as she pulled to the right post. Instead of finding open net, Gualtieri found the left skate of St. Denis.
- With just over a minute to play, Stoddard picked up a rebound and handled across the crease to an open left side look. The sophomore hooked the shot and sent the puck wide right.
- Midway through the third, Estes rang a shot off the right post on a quick redirect skating down the slot.
- On the power play with five minutes to play, Gualtieri had an open look at the right side of the net after several rapid shots on St. Denis left her sprawled at the opposite post. Gualtieri put her shot towards the near post, but St. Denis dove across the crease to make a midair stop.
- The Camels scored the game's lone goal in overtime at 1:31. Kylie Wilkes won the faceoff in the right circle and kicked the puck center. Gualtieri took a diving one-timer and put her 11th shot of the game past St. Denis.
By the Numbers
- St. Denis ended the day with 30 saves.
- Bailey Mertz made 28 stops for the shutout.
- The Camels went 0-for-4 on the power play.
- Bowdoin went 0-for-1 on the power play.
Up Next
- The Polar Bears and Camels complete the series on Saturday at 3:00 p.m.

A worker was severely injured when he sat in a chair collapsed in the crew meeting room of a cargo ship. The photographs below were taken for the visual examination.
Photograph 1 Subject chair and failed chair leg.
A weld securing the chair leg to the chair seat failed and is shown in Photograph 2.
Photograph 2 Subject left front chair leg.
Photograph 3 shows a side view of the chair leg weld. It should be noted that the chrome plating was not removed from the chair leg prior to welding. Removal of chrome plating prior to welding or rewelding is required to produce a quality weld.
Photograph 3 Chair seat side of the leg weld failure.
The failed weld has large areas of porosity, slag entrapment and large regions exhibiting lack of fusion, as seen in Photograph 4.The failed weld has large areas of porosity, slag entrapment and large regions exhibiting lack of fusion, as seen in Photograph 4.
Photograph 4 The left front seat side showing the weld failure.
Close-up view from another perspective of the seat side of the chair leg failure is shown in Photograph 5. Regions of lack of fusion, improper preparation for welding and slag entrapment are all evident. The flat portion of the tube failure shows some fatigue crack growth in the chair leg tube prior to final collapse.
Photograph 5 Seat side of the failed left front chair leg weld failure.
In the close-up view of the failed left front leg, photograph 6 shows the seat section was not welded in the area between 7 o'clock and 11 o'clock. Also present is the fact that chrome plating from original manufacturer is evident and was not removed prior to rewelding. Residue chrome plating can introduce brittle components into the weld, thus making it susceptible to early failure.
Photograph 6 Left front leg side of weld failure.
Photograph 7 No evidence of welding is present from about 7 o'clock to 10:30 o'clock.
Base on the above visual examination only (no destructive testing was allowed) the following was concluded:
- Failure was the result of inadequate and improper rewelding of the subject left front chair leg to the chair seat
- The weld joint was improperly prepared. As can be clearly observed above in Photograph 6, the chrome plating was not removed from the original chrome plated leg weld and joint prior to rewelding.
- The reweld did not exhibit fusion or weld penetration over approximately 90° of the circumferential leg to seat repair weld.
- The inadequately and inappropriately rewelded chair leg failed as a result of progressive, long-term metal fatigue.
- Although the sea man was not "a small boy" the chair leg fracture surface visually revealed that the chair leg failure was not the result of a one-time overload stress.

1. Just last weekend I was speculating about construction at the Polynesian and wishing we had some concept art to look at...and guess what the Disney Parks Blog posted today?? Interesting to hear about the name change and the Grog Grotto...although I can't say I think the tiny waterfall and tiki god they've got stuck in the middle of the lobby are as impressive as the lush, giant oasis there previously.
2. Disney's Hollywood Studios celebrated its 25th anniversary yesterday! I love Estelle's post over on This Happy Place Blog with details to love and changes to hope for. More nods to Disney Broadway and more books in The Writer's Stop? YES PLEASE!
3. So we just got back from Disneyland about a week ago...and already I want to go back! The gorgeous photos on The Disney Roots Blog have me wishing we had caught the Sounsational Parade and Disneyland's Fantasmic.
4. There's been so much buzz about the upcoming opening of the Seven Dwarves Mine Train in New Fantasyland! The dedication happened just the other day, and there's already a ride-through video up on youtube. Personally I'm not going to watch it...I'm going to wait until I actually get to ride it in person!
5. The links this week are coming from all over the Disney universe - from Florida to California - so we better have the Disney Cruise Line represented too, don't you think? Luckily I've got a new video from the Disney Dream up - with princesses, Goofy Golf, ice cream, and the AquaDuck!

- A frozen section (cryosection) is a pathological laboratory technique used for rapid microscopic analysis / diagnosis of a specimen / disease
- Usually used with oncologic surgery
- Rapid diagnosis can guide intra-operative patient management
Why perform a frozen section:
- Provide rapid gross or microscopic diagnosis to identify an unknown pathologic process, identify extent of disease / evaluate margins, identify metastases or simply identify a tissue
- Process tissue to provide appropriate and accurate diagnosis, prognosis and to adhere to research and special study protocols
- Confirm that pathological tissue is present for diagnosis on permanent sections
Why NOT to perform a frozen section:
- Frozen section diagnosis has no immediate implications for decision making
- Tissue is needed for permanent processing (is unique or small or requires extensive study for diagnosis)
- Frozen section is known to produce severe artifacts that hinder proper interpretation
- Tissue is heavily ossified / calcified
- Risk of serious infection (HIV, TB, hepatitis B or C)

Books that come to life
We have done many, many projects based off our beloved book The Very Hungry Caterpillar , we just love Eric Carle. We got a chance to see his books come to life through a series of beautiful plays. Actually beautiful doesn't even do it justice. My older son had been to see the play before with Dad, Grandma and Grandpa. I had to stay behind with the littlest one.
This time I was able to go and have a great day with my two oldest babies, which are quickly turning into big boys. It was such a great day and it felt good to get out of the house with just the two.
I truly enjoy that my children love to read and get excited by literature and art.
If Eric Carle plays come to your town, we highly recommend going to see it. Otherwise visit the Carousel Theater site for more info on great children's plays.

Working through the grits of sandpaper is important. I feel like I could utilize some advantage if I included a couple more "in between grits" from my typical strategy, but sandpaper costs a lot!!! I started this piece with my chainsaw, roughing out the size and shape, cutting a "flat" top and bottom….then moving to my angle grinder with my favorite shaping tool attached, the Holey Galahad carbide disk. After the shaping is mostly complete, I move on to the orbital sander with some 60grit and 80grit to take down all the high spots. Now the piece is ready to start paying attention to the grain. I compare it too painting in reverse…taking away a little bit at a time, watching the way the grain moves as I take layer by layer of "dust" away. It makes a huge difference in the way the final piece looks if you watch the grain rather than just trying to sand away aimlessly. I typically start with 120grit, and concentrate on blending in the scratches, nics, dings, and working the movement of the wood grain so it flows. Then bump to 220grit, watching as the scratches start to disappear and trying to avoid leaving the "swirly" marks that start to become very apparent when the wood starts to shine all by itself. For my final use of the obital sander, I finish with 320grit. I can see my blurry reflection in the wood at this point, and the "swirly" marks start to jump out everywhere so this step takes a while. I finish up with hand sanding 400grit before the first coat of oil. I am going to come back and do some turquoise inlays, and between coats of oil I'll be hand sanding with 600grit and buffing with steel wool.

A new TV spot promoting Mallorca with Captain Morgan Rum
Recently we have been very lucky in Mallorca because it has been in a few films and in some TV spots. If a few weeks ago, we saw the island on the film The Cloud Atlas filmed in areas like Sa Calobra or Formentor (we bet some of you already recognised the area), today we want to show you a new spot:
The spot was filmed in January 2013, and it is said it costed about 1,7 million euros! Can you recognise some of the places:
- The Bellver castle
- The Cathedral
- The old walls
- Ses Voltes, an area situated in front of the Cathedral
- Some narrow streets in the old town area
Some of you have been there, but if you havent yet and you are visiting our island, we have the Palmabus excursion that takes you there and allows you to enjoy about 5 hours free time, and we will be more than happy to point on the map that we give where all these places are!

- Parents fully participate so should wear comfortable clothing and be prepared to move.
- No yoga experience required for either parent or child.
- Yoga mats are not used in this class except during the last few minutes for relaxation. Feel free to bring your own or borrow one of ours.
- Let go of expectations: We don't expect full participation by children, and sometimes hardly any on the first day. Some children will be most comfortable observing and some might even wander the room and appear not to be participating. This is all developmentally appropriate and totally fine. Yes, try to engage your child in class, but feel free to simply relax and enjoy your child however they choose to participate.
- Parents should plan to fully participate in family and early childhood classes. The more yoga you do, the more your child will do (even if not until you get home). One adult must be present, up to two adults are welcome on weekly basis, and the same adult need not be present every time.
- Please bring only water or milk/formula in closed top containers into the yoga classroom. Breastfeeding is always welcome.
- Please no photos during class. Not all parents are equally comfortable with having their children photographed and phones are potentially distracting to toddlers who are pretty savvy about what they do. If you would like photos of your little one doing yoga, please take them before or after class or during the last two weeks of the class when the instructor suggests group photos. If one of our instructors takes photos at any time, feel free to request a copy of your child or watch for logo-ed version to turn up on our social media sites so you can re-share.
- Things to leave at home: Toys, stuffed friends, and even lovies (if at all possible). Very special friends can watch class from the windowsill if necessary, but toys of any kind just cause conflict in class.

Always on the go and think meditation is a waste of time? Most of us are busy trying to check off the next item off our list. However, the typical skeptic is not too sure that "sitting still and clearing the mind" does anything for him. However, performing an internal cleanse is just as important as a mental one.
According to research, humans have roughly 50,000 to 70,000 thoughts per day, or 35 to 48 thoughts every minute. I bet you didn't expect to think so much! The truth is we do think a lot. No wonder the statistics reflect that anxiety, insomnia and depression are rising each year. In fact, a social indicators research paper published in 2014 explores the rise in mental health issues in young adults:
"Across four surveys (N = 6.9 million), Americans reported substantially higher levels of depressive symptoms, particularly somatic symptoms, in the 2000s–2010s compared to the 1980s–1990s. High school students in the 2010s (vs. the 1980s) reported more somatic symptoms (e.g., trouble sleeping, thinking, and remembering; shortness of breath) and were twice as likely to have seen a professional for mental issues. College students in recent years (vs. the 1980s) were more likely to report feeling overwhelmed and to believe they were below average in mental and physical health, but were less likely to say they felt depressed."
With approximately 3,300 thoughts racing around our noggins per hour, our "monkey minds" could use a little stillness and meditation. Wouldn't you agree? Monkey mind is a Buddhist term that refers to how our mind often jumps from one thing to the next. It's the overload of constant thinking that interferes with internal stillness and can throw us off balance.The Chinese psychological metaphor reveals a few adjectives that best describe the typical monkey mind that can benefit from meditation:
Meditation & Our Prefrontal Cortex
Now, most of us don't mind being a little whimsical or fanciful once in a while. But confusion and restlessness can often bombard our brains already on thought-overload. Diving deeper into research behind how the brain responds to meditation, a Harvard study finds that regular meditators have more prefrontal cortex grey matter density. Doctors link executive decision-making and memory to the prefrontal cortex of our brain.
Meditation & Our Hippocampus
Cortical thickness increases within the hippocampus, which is associated with learning, cognitive memory and emotional regulation. Imagine how broad of a topic learning is let alone our emotions.
Emotional regulation can cover depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar, and any number of mental health issues. Studies show that the brain's hippocampus shrinks and loses up to 20 percent of its volume as a result of depression.
Meditation & Our Amygdala
Ever hear of fight or flight? Our amygdala is responsible for this survival response. It is the hub of fear, worry and anxiety, but meditation can decrease cell volume.
Meditation & Our Default Mode Network (DMN)
What is our default mode network? It is the default reaction that our brain produces, regardless of positive events taking place in our lives, that eventually resets to a feeling dissatisfaction. In the world of psychology, Hedonic Adaptation is when you adapt to your new sports car, lottery winnings, etc. In fact, research found that lottery winners experienced Hedonic Adaptation 18 months after winning the lottery. They reported to being less happy than before they struck it rich.
According to a PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States):
"Many philosophical and contemplative traditions teach that 'living in the moment' increases happiness. However, the default mode of humans appears to be that of mind-wandering, which correlates with unhappiness, and with activation in a network of brain areas associated with self-referential processing. We investigated brain activity in experienced meditators and matched meditation-naive controls as they performed several different meditations (Concentration, Loving-Kindness, Choiceless Awareness). We found that the main nodes of the default-mode network (medial prefrontal and posterior cingulate cortices) were relatively deactivated in experienced meditators across all meditation types."
In other words, those who meditate are less aimless and have sharper focus. Grounding ourselves with meditation means sitting still long enough to do just that, say nothing, think nothing and simply breathe. It is, however, quite the challenge to sit for 5 minutes in dragging silence. But, with practice meditation can benefit our mind, body, and spirit.
Preparing The Body Internally For Meditation With Detox
Cleansing the body does help to clear the mind, when you eat poorly your body becomes backed up. You can become lethargic, gain weight and experience mood swings. Sometimes it's nice to detox our bodies by drinking super green juices and detox teas. According to health experts, fasting allows your brain to form new neural networks. This gives you new clarity, higher focus and more energy. Some even claim a boost in cognitive performance. Drinking super greens really is a drink that's smart!
Super green juice in powder form is the best way to get your juicing experience without all the mess, especially if you are busy and have little time to juice. Try doing a 2-day juice fast that incorporates detox tea for 1 day. If you can stomach it, up your dose to 2 days. Some people like to do 3-day juice fast and detox, but it's up to the individual.
Preparing Our Environments For Meditation
Meditation begins with putting yourself in the right atmosphere. Relaxing music is always great, but so is investing in an oil diffuser. Beachwood Essentials has a fantastic essential oil diffuser that is both affordable and available in a few different colors.
Beachwood Essentials Relaxation Oil Combo
Beachwood Essentials has a relaxation blend with all the right ingredients:
•vanilla bean
Why Incorporate Both Meditation & Detox?
Not only does meditation and juice fasts affect the mind, but it also detoxes our bodies of impurities while equally assisting with cognitive development and boosting mental clarity. So, if you need to refocus, gain new energy and shed a few pounds, try to incorporate a juice and tea detox. Don't forget to sit somewhere quiet, get your oil diffuser going and meditate for 5 minutes to focus on clearing the mind. You will not be sorry if you still your "monkey mind" and regain balance.

How to Continue Your Fitness Regime this Ramadhan
Fasting and exercising
Continue to stay fit while fasting this month of Ramadhan.
So it's that time of the year again for Muslims whereby we are required to abstain from food and drink for an entire month. The reasons for doing so are spiritual but there are many who also fast for health benefits. How does fasting affect those of us whom are physically active on a regular basis? Do we stop exercise altogether?
As a Muslim who continues to exercise during the month of Ramadan, the approach that has worked well over the years, for me, is to exercise after the fast has been broken. This would essentially mean that for the entire fasting month I would only work out at
night. I also have many Muslim friends who opt for an early morning workout, before they have their 'sahur' (early morning meal before the fast starts). That seems to work fairly well also.
But what are the options for those who may not have the time at night? Also, if not for religious reasons, why would one fast at all?
Research has shown that fasting can induce weight and fat loss by increasing insulin sensitivity and lowering your LDL and triglycerides levels (high levels of LDL and triglycerides lead to high cholesterol disease and ultimately heart disease). Fasting coupled with exercises, has added benefit as it can further improve insulin sensitivity which leads to more fat loss while retaining muscle mass.
The best and safest option to exercising while fasting, is very simply to do your workout after you have broken your fast. This is because, you would have refuelled your body at this stage and have enough energy for normal exercise (this applies to those who do a complete fast – no food or water – as well as those who a food fast).
But fear not those who want or need to exercise while fasting! Simple logic would recommend that you do so just before you break your fast. Seeing as you would normally be sweating and thus losing water during exercise, the ideal time would be to break fast immediately after you finish your work out to prevent dehydration.
In terms of intensity, exercising during a fast should be less strenuous than usual. Thus, if you do cardiovascular training, cut your intensity by 30 per cent (ie a brisk walk instead of a jog). Keep up your resistance training, as this would enable you to maintain your muscle mass. A good balance would be a low-intensity circuit-based weight training, as the pace of the workouts and the resistance itself would give you a combination of cardiovascular and weight training all in one.
A lot of info to digest I'm sure, but how does this apply to my workouts in Fitology you might ask? Well let us break it down step-by-step for you!
STEP 1. Book your Fitology Express or group workout session close to the break fast time. (Ideally, start training half an hour before your break fast time)
STEP 2. Kick it off with your usual 30-minute PT but time it closely so that when your PT ends, so does your fast! Proceed to break your fast with water, a sugary drink and perhaps a date or two.
STEP 3. Quench your thirst and continue to chug water as you proceed to have your FIR therapy. (As recommended!)
STEP 4. After the required 30 minutes, come out for your nutritious smoothie, which would replenish you further. Skip to Step 6 if you're having an Express.
STEP 5. Proceed home (or out!) to have your well-deserved dinner after a whole day of fasting and an awesome session at Fitology!
And there you have it, a little insight on how to tackle exercise and Fitology whilst fasting! Hope it was helpful! 😉

"Megane Danshi″
part 6: Kyoya Ootori
spoilers abound. you have been warned.
Kyoya is the Vice President and "Shadow King" of the Ouran Highschool Host Club, and he's my second favorite Megane Danshi of all time. He's considered the "cool" type when entertaining guests. Though he is only shown with clients a couple of times, most often he is faded in the background with a clipboard or notebook in hand.
He is considered the "Shadow King" of the Host Club, because he's generally the one who calls the shots, even though Tamaki's the president. Kyoya's well versed in legal matters, and is constantly on the prowl to keep the Host Club's image and reputation clean, despite attempts by outsiders to destroy it (namely the newspaper club).
Unbeknownst to the rest of the Host Club members, Kyoya uses the club as his own personal business, meticulously calculating budgets, income, and expenses. Though he usually gives in to Tamaki's lavish whims, Kyoya knows how to pull strings and often, uses his own family's properties for entertainment, such as their personal beach and resort park.
He's also a master of networking. He seems to know everything and anything about anybody, and he's always in contact with high ranking people via his family's business. In flashbacks, he researches everybody he meets for his own personal knowledge and gains. In fact, everything he does is generally for a selfish motive. Whether it is still true or not is put to the test in the episode "Kyoya's Long Day," when he prevents the wife of a major electronics company CEO from being ripped off by calling the salesman out on his fake wares. Though he claimed to know all along that it was her because of her large ruby ring, Haruhi realizes that a flag had been blocking her hand from their standpoint. Haruhi voices her thoughts on the real reason he helps people: because like Tamaki, he gains something intangible from it.
For a character that is really only spotlighted in two episodes, his character development (which mostly occurs before the events of the series via flashbacks) is striking and rewarding to the viewer. He overcomes a bleak situation with one of the best comeback I have ever seen.
Kyoya is generally stone faced, never revealing his true thoughts, motives, or feelings about anything. As the youngest of four, Kyoya was faced with a very adult situation early on in his life. As the third son, it was made clear to him in Jr. High that he had no chance at being the successor of the Ootori business, which mostly dealt in hospital management, alongside manufacturing hospital equipment.
His oldest brother, Yuuichi, only ever named in the manga, and he's already graduated from his studies and currently working with their father at the main hospital. His second oldest brother, Akito, also only named in the manga, is still in medical school with plans to join Yuuichi in assistance. From the flashbacks, Kyoya accepts that he is destined to work for his brothers, a really heavy burden for a young teenager.
Kyoya's father, Yoshio, puts immense pressure on him. He is told during his flashbacks that achieving academically was something that his brothers had already accomplished and it will take much more than that to impress him. Kyoya likens his situation to painting: he's been given an ornate frame and must paint the perfect picture within it, but not outstep his boundary.
Before meeting Tamaki, Kyoya does his best to please his father and not step on the toes of his brothers. He excels academically and does what his father says. Besides that, he doesn't try to do anything over the top that might upset the balance. Yoshio has an extremely cold personality, never showing affection or praise. Kyoya's mother is never mentioned, not even in passing, in either the manga or anime.
Kyoya's sister seems to be the only one within the Ootori family who really cares about how Kyoya feels. She tries to comfort her younger brother, and is seen in the flashbacks as hanging out with him in his room while he does homework.
Fuyumi is only daughter of the Ootori household. She is only seen in flashbacks, and in the manga is revealed to be married into the Shido family. She often visits home, which she is chided for by their father.
Kyoya's main flashback takes up the entirety of episode 24, "And So Kyoya Met Him." In it, the entirety of his family situation is explained. Fuyumi tells Kyoya that he can relax a little, because their older brothers have the run of things. Kyoya counters that it's because he's the third son that he can't relax; the pressure on him is the highest of all. She's concerned for Kyoya's happiness, and he tells her that him being happy is a mute point.
Upon meeting Tamaki, like the rest of the Host Club members, Kyoya begins a change. He befriends Tamaki on his father's orders, because Tamaki is the son of the Suou Group's chairman, a frequent competitor. Tamaki turns out to be a crazy, whimsically minded "fool" in Kyoya's eyes. Kyoya submits to all of Tamaki's outlandish requests at sightseeing and starts to realize that he's hard to keep up with.
Aggrivated, Kyoya is seen for the first time showing a genuine emotion: anger. He rants and raves about Tamaki's whims that are generally incoherent and almost impossible to fulfill. Fuyumi wanted to tell him that, if he made him so mad, that he should stop hanging out with him. She refrains, because she's "never seen him so passionate about anything before." In the Japanese, its translated as "never seen him so happy before."
Then Kyoya is thrown a curve. Tamaki shows up at his house, and plays the piano for the rest of his family, reducing them all to tears. Without realizing it, Kyoya was also reduced to tears. After that, Kyoya and Tamaki have a conversation that bring about another moment of rage for Kyoya, and he knocks over the coffee table, sending the tea set and dishes crashing to the floor.
Kyoya's markedly jealous of Tamaki, because, as the illegitimate child of the Suou CEO, and the only child, Tamaki became the heir to the company overnight. Though that's not actually true (as I've mentioned in a previous post about Tamaki), Kyoya can't stand to hear Tamaki say that he doesn't want his father's company.
Tamaki is the only one who was able to see through Kyoya, telling him that if he really wanted his own father's company, he could do it. "The only one who's given up here is you, Kyoya." The switch is flipped. Kyoya is seen in the only other emotion he displays in the entire series: he laughs. One of my favorite lines comes after. When Kyoya realizes that Tamaki is right, he makes a face, and Tamaki says, "Oh, man, what an evil face. So you're finally showing your true colors." The painting scene is shown again (below), and Kyoya really does paint with his true colors. Tamaki asks Kyoya to help him start the Host Club, to which he accepts. He tells Haruhi in the series that the reason he started the Host Club with Tamaki was because it was such a crazy idea. Neither of his brothers had done extra-curricular activites, and he used the Host Club to his full advantage.
Toward the end of the anime, Ouran Academy hosts a family day festival. Kyoya's father arrives and slaps the glasses off of Kyoya's face. Yoshio tells his son that he's never been so ashamed. I felt for him so badly. Tamaki's father even tells Yoshio that he went too far, and asks him if he's taking out his company's failing on him.
That's when it's revealed that the medical equipment branch of the Ootori company is being bought out French conglomerate. Yoshio reveals that he was going to give that branch to Kyoya. After seeing his duties in the Host Club, he says that it serves Kyoya right that he's going to lose it anyway.
Like I had said before, Kyoya turned the Host Club into his own personal business. What his father didn't know is that Kyoya amassed a sum of money in the Host Club. Before the French company could buy it out, Kyoya, under the guise of KO (or OK in the Japaese version) bought it out from under the both of them. I thought either portrayal of his initials was fitting. The English way means "Knock-Out" and the Japanese means "Okay" if you didn't pick that up.
This is where Kyoya's true colors come out. Yes, he surpassed his father's expectations by planning far enough ahead to eventually buy it out before a competitor could. But, he subsequently turns over the entire management rights of it to his father, basically saying that he doesn't want it and shoving it back into his face.
Haruhi's assessment was correct. Tamaki's impact on him was far reaching. Once only thinking of himself and what he could gain from everything, Kyoya put aside his material success for something much more rewarding in the process. He also rose from the chains of "the third son" to be a well respected member of his family by his father in the end.

Ireland is widely acknowledged to be the data centre capital of Europe. Ireland's 'free air-cooling' climate, an overcapacity in the national grid and access to 100% renewable power have contributed to Ireland's success in attracting significant international investment. Ireland will target to generate 40% of national electricity needs from renewables by 2020. This environmental symmetry is paired with other factors, including a talent pool of English-speaking, IT graduates and high speed low latency links to the US, UK and EU.
There is also the added attraction of the lowest corporation tax rate in Europe (12.5%) and the excellent government support offered to enterprises establishing operations in Ireland. Ireland's Industrial Development Authority (IDA) is a state run organisation that supports companies financially and administratively when setting up operations in Ireland and provides on-going support as they develop and succeed.
Ireland is already home to one of the largest clusters of data centres in Europe, with large-scale operations, including the likes of Amazon, Microsoft and Google. Co-location data centre operators such as TeleCity Group, BT, and Digital Realty have also established significant operations in Ireland. In 2015 both Apple and Facebook announced plans to develop substantial data centres to support their on-line services.

I have been wanting to have this conversation for a while now but have been so darn afraid to start it that I would have an anxiety attack by the shear thought of it. Not that anyone would ever notice, but inside a calm surface I would deal with a racing heartbeat, wanting to vomit, and not being able to eat.
After a talk things are always a little calmer. I kind of feel like I can take a deep breath, even if the talk itself never brings me any deeper satisfaction. But sooner or later that anxiety creeps up on me. Just by me waiting for him to blow up again about something I did wrong. Because it will happen, sooner or later.
Last week's talk was calmer than I had expected. But I was still not able to communicate my emotions and needs. I once again got to hear that my main task was to take care of him. Cook, clean, do laundry etc before I could enjoy myself... But to me it seems like I would never be "done" to be able to enjoy myself. I think for him, there would always be something else that needed to be done...
(...Things I would enjoy would be to visit with my friends (without a curfew), go shopping without him looking at all the receipt, paint, do arts and craft, take dance or horseback riding classes, etc... But I can't because there is always something that goes before my happiness - his happiness even though I cannot ever please him. On the other hand, he left the house when he was suppose to work on the basement to go play golf because "it was more important than the basement" - his own words.)
In the middle of a conversation like that I start to think, that yes.. maybe that is how I am supposed to be.. I have to tend to his needs first... It is really not that hard to cook, clean and do laundry (which I DO do just not when he thinks it should be done I guess)... I can't function. I just sit there, paralyzed, and in the end agrees with him and once again start to think that I am the horrible person. That I never do anything right. That I am neglecting him. That I cannot love. That I am the one with crazy demands and unrealistic dreams about love and relationships...
...But then the next morning I wake up and shake my head thinking "no way... that can't be how a normal relationship works, it just can't be. And on top of it shouldn't he care about my happiness too" Me doing that (anything he asks) for him and getting nothing in return will never fix things. Never.
Am I completely wrong?
Am I too self centered?
Am I too stubborn?
Am I the narcissist?
One thing I know for sure is that I am loosing my mind, slowly but surely!

A few hours later, as I am tossing and turning in anxious sleep, satan hisses. The self-contempt that slithers into my consciousness are earthly things: temporary setbacks, imagined obstacles, past regrets, impending shame. Exhaustion has opened the gate. Like stones taken from a quarry, crushed and spread as base beneath a newly paved road, I am being smothered by layers of lies, oily asphalt.
I wake and God seems so very far away.
My heart beats loudly in the anxious silence.
God hears the voiceless prayers of my heart, invites me closer, shifts my focus away from obstacles, setbacks, shame and regret. God melts the layers of lies, opens my eyes to see that what I fear is temporary or imagined, not impending but tethered in the past.
I find comfort in the necklace I wore for the funeral of my niece, a time when hopelessness, grief, loss and fear gave way to a celebration of her life and her New Life.
In the darkest of moments, when we are feeling less than precious, when we fear death and darkness, God hears our hearts cry. God is already there.
... the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God's people in accordance with the will of God. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:26-28 NIVRw

I often search for books with women of colour, black women in particular and in the genres of sci-fi or fantasy where I find we show up the least. There aren't many out there and I don't always like what I find (well written or not) so I often end up with books in genres I don't even like.
One day I found a well-reviewed self-published book. Some of the reviews were filled with praise but also images of the reader's depictions of how they believed the MC looked.
I did a bit more digging and checked out the Question and Answers and indeed someone had asked if the main character was a woman of colour to which one reader responded "yes" while another said they "could not really tell." At this point, I write the author. Long story short, her response said she was explicit about making her MC black but that she couldn't help what people wanted to see.
I buy the book. Within the first few chapters it is clear over and over again that the female protagonist is a black woman. I'm not even remotely passionate about the book, but I am passionate about this problem. A part of me wanted to write under the reviews of these 'blind' readers. Another part of me was angry at the writer for using a misleading cover. The lowest part of me wondered if another cover would even make a difference and why we even bother writing diverse characters in the first place.
How would you suggest a writer deal with reviews like this? Or should they ignore them?
If you feel passionate about it, I think you should post a comment. The trick is to respond with facts not emotion. Facts are "MC is described as this, that, the other on pages N, N2 and N3"
Leave out the "you are clearly blind and ignorant to have missed that" no matter how true you think it is.
Since this is a self-published book the writer has complete control over the cover. That is NOT NOT NOT the case in books that are not self-published.
I have no idea why an author would choose to write about black women and not have them depicted on the cover. I don't even want to hazard a guess on that one.
More generally I always advise writers to stay out of the reviews/discussions on their books. It's a fast way to go full tilt crazy. Since you are not the writer, and have no skin in the game (bad joke?) you'll most likely be able to participate in a discussion without losing your mind.
And I really admire your tenacity in seeking out books with people of color, even outside your preferred reading areas. If we all did that we'd solve the diverse voices problem in about two seasons of publishing.

|Late South Korean economic policymaker Kim Ip-sam (left) sits next to the late Hyundai Group founder Chung Ju-yung at an international conference in the late 1970s, when they worked as the vice chairman and chairman, respectively, of the Federation of Korean Industries. (Kim So-im)
Many South Koreans take the nation's prosperity for granted nowadays, but it wasn't always the case.
Unlike countries blessed with abundant natural resources, Korea's freedom and wealth were forged by the blood and sweat of its people from the 1950-53 Korean War and the economic takeoff that followed, known as the "Miracle on the Han River."
To be precise, it wasn't a miracle either. It was the outcome of science that combined the popular desire for betterment, zealous patriotism and the spirit of prosper-thy-neighbor.
From the ashes of the war, step by step and brick by brick, South Korea rose incrementally. The growth-obsessed authoritarian government managed the economy with a series of five-year development plans, and the embryonic chaebol toed the state line with strategic investments in preordained sectors, industriously pursuing a path of export-led expansion and entering global value chains. The period of "developmental dictatorship" from the early 1960s through the late '70s and onward, ironically, and fortuitously, was of "inclusive growth": an epoch of a nation in the making during which its building blocks -- bureaucracy, the corporate sector, education, public health and the military -- were conceived, created and patronized.
|The late Kim Ip-sam (Kim So-im)
The late Kim Ip-sam was one of the principal architects of the modern, democratic market economy of the Republic of Korea. A government official and vice chairman of the Federation of Korean Industries, Kim's illustrious career as an economist, bureaucrat and policymaker coincides with the country's miraculous postwar trajectory, a course he passionately and compassionately shaped.
Now, a year after his death on Dec. 7 last year, a book has been published tracing his life and achievements. "Kim Ip-sam, Cornerstone of South Korea's Economic Development: Why He's Missed Dearly" is written by 30 opinion leaders comprising his family and colleagues, from business and academia to media and politics.
For those curious about the secret to South Korea's rapid development as well as the vicissitudes of its fortunes and falls, the book is a paean to a now bygone era, which emerging and third-world nations worldwide strive to emulate in the 21st century.
The 375-page book, written in Korean and published by Dong-in, also contains chapters from Kim's 2003 memoir, "A Testimony from Herb Roots and Tree Barks to an Advanced Nation," written in Korean and published by the Korea Economic Daily.
|"Kim Ip-sam, Cornerstone of South Korea's Economic Development: Why He's Missed Dearly"; Dongin, 375 pages, 26,000 won
"The Republic of Korea that was born in 1948 had to chart its own untrodden path of liberal democracy and a free market economy. Behind leaders like Syngman Rhee and Park Chung-hee, there was sagacious strategist Kim Ip-sam," said Son Byeong-doo, chairman of the Ho-Am Foundation and former vice chairman of the Federation of Korean Industries, at a commemorative ceremony for Kim's passing and the book's publication at Lotte Hotel in Seoul on Dec. 13.
"The late Kim, faithfully applying the principles of the free market economy, persuaded the government to take the right course, tirelessly taught public servants and students, established laws and policies and appealed to people's patriotism. Like the famous economist Alfred Marshall said, he was a man of 'cool head and warm heart,'" added Son.
Kim was born in 1922 in a small backwater town of Jongseong in North Korea's North Hamkyeong Province, bordering China along the Tumen River. An inquisitive boy with an unusual passion for learning, Kim was the best of the best and brightest through elementary, middle and high schools, but couldn't enter university due to his family's indigent circumstances. In the thick of life-or-death ideological purges that pitted communists against capitalists after national liberation at the end of World War II, Kim was jailed, interrogated and surveilled by the communist police for opposing the Soviet trusteeship of North Korea.
"Stretching my neck out the prison window and gazing at the flock of seagulls flying southward, I realized that the preciousness of freedom was seeping into my brain cells," he recalled.
|The late Kim Ip-sam in his senior years (Kim So-im)
Everything changed when the Korean War broke out in 1950, a "fateful turning point" in Kim's life as he describes it. Kim headed to the South nestled between the United Nations Forces troops.
In South Korea, Kim, who spoke a bit of self-taught English, befriended a US sergeant named Donald Christie, while working at the United Nations Command's department of information education. Christie, a University of Minnesota graduate, using personal connections, encouraged and supported Kim to study at his alma mater, an offer the Korean gladly accepted.
In 1957, Kim graduated from the university's department of politics and economics with a cum laude, and went on to study at the London School of Economics and Political Science.
He returned to Korea in 1959. Working closely with leaders like President Park Chung-hee, Kim formed the cadre of talented technocrats now credited with designing and propelling the country's "compressed" material takeoff.
|A commemorative ceremony for Kim's passing and the book's publication at Lotte Hotel in Seoul on Dec. 13 (Joel Lee/The Korea Herald)
Kim's achievements include establishing the nation's medical insurance system, devising five-year economic development plans as well as laying the foundation of export industrial zones across South Korea and attracting foreign capital and investments. He also played a key role in institutionalizing the Capital Market Promotion Act, direct and indirect financing systems and the basis of labor-management relations.
By permanently putting in place cooperation channels with advanced industrialized economies, Kim facilitated Korea's economic globalization, internationalization and liberalization. At the same time, he sought hard to democratize corporate governance and the economic ecosystem, eventually helping enact various laws aimed at increasing transparency and cutting nepotistic ties.
In the early 1970s, he foresaw the rise of computerization in the corporate world, and made great efforts to incorporate advanced electronic technologies in business practices.
As the cauldron of South Korea's economic fire cools, and younger generations increasingly conservatize their mores, Kim's life serves as a wake-up call for a nation in a midlife crisis. Above all, his life's creed -- as a compassionate conservative -- may be exactly what South Korea needs in a globalized world, from which it can neither withdraw, nor engage without the love of humanity.

In today's world of do-it-yourself travel planning, where you search the web for the cheapest price possible, the old saying still holds true. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Unfortunately, there are agencies out there that don't have their customer's best interest at heart. These are companies that are more interested in making money than they are about filling your travel plans to your specifications while still getting you the best deal possible.
This is where a real travel agent can help. Even though the trend in online websites offering deals on everything from airfare to rental cars has grown into a huge business over the years a lot of people are still finding the value in going to an actual travel agency in search of customized travel planning and to their surprise they are finding that their travel agent can offer them deals that are either comparable, or in some cases better than, the travel websites.
This is not to suggest that there aren't travel agents that aren't also only out for your money, so we have come up with some simple tips to help you find a reputable travel agent that will take care of your needs and save you money.
ASTA membership
Check to see if the agency is a member of the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA). Agencies who are members must follow strict rules of conduct. If you have a problem with the agency, it will be easier for you to file a complaint.
Check with the Better Business Bureau
Find out what ratings the agencies you are thinking of doing business have received. The BBB will also let you know if there are customer complaints or any other problems with the overall way the agency conducts business.
Get it in writing
Some discount agencies will promise you low rates to get your business, then hit you with hidden fees. Since you are on a budget, you don't want any surprises. Be sure to get all of the agency's rates on paper up front.
Does the site have a physical address
Reputable businesses will list their address on their website. Sites that don't list their address usually have something to hide, like the fact they aren't a professional site but rather being run for a quick buck at the customer's expense.
What are others saying
Check with online review sites like Yelp, Reviewcentre, Yahoo, and Google for what other people are saying about the service they received from the agency you are considering. In this age of online consumerism, customer reviews are becoming more and more important when shopping for anything.
How long has the agency been in business
A good judge of any business is their staying power. As in the case of all businesses, you will have better results from one that has been in business for a longer period of time than you will one just starting out.
Research the agency on the web
Look up additional information for the agency on the web, like articles, press releases, travel forum comments and other information along these lines.
