"Of Men and Mice"
[Candy] said miserably, "You seen what they done to my dog tonight? They says he wasn't no good to himself nor nobody else. When they can me here I wisht somebody'd shoot me. But they won't do nothing like that. I won't have no place to go, an' I can't get no more jobs."
George half-closed his eyes. "I gotta think about that. We was always gonna do it by ourselves." Candy interrupted him, "I'd make a will an' leave my share to you guys in case I kick off, 'cause I ain't got no relatives or nothing…"
This shows that candy is scared at being old because he won't have no job and no where to go.Also this shows that he blinds himself with his dream of having somewhere to call home.
"The necKlace"
She danced with delight, with passion, intoxicated with pleasure, thinking of nothing, in the triumph of her beauty, in the glory of her success, in a sort of cloud of happiness made up of all these tributes, of all the admirations, of all these awakened desires, of this victory so complete and so sweet to a woman's heart.
She learned the rough work of the household, the odious labors of the kitchen. She washed the dishes, wearing out her pink nails on the greasy pots and the bottoms of the pans. She washed the dirty linen, the shirts and the towels, which she dried on a rope; she carried down the garbage to the street every morning, and she carried up the water, pausing for breath on every floor. And, dressed like a woman of the people, she went to the fruiterer, the grocer, the butcher, a basket on her arm, bargaining, insulted, fighting for her wretched money, sou by sou.
These qoutes show she is caught over her dream of being rich she forgets she is a middle class person.Also here losing she jeopardize her future of being rich by losing the necklace and having to work as a poor class person to pay for it.
Martin luther king jr.
"Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love."
Matin Luther King Jr was to distracted by making his dream come true without violence that he didn't pay attention to reality that nonviolence didn't solve nothing.
So what?
This apply to most people because people forget to think how there is going to become possible.Also that not all dream can come true because reality crashes in and ruining it.

TE 846 - Module 7 (1)
Nature of Reading Comprehension
According to Samuels and Farstrup, reading comprehension can be considered the "product of word reading and language comprehension". Basically, to be able to comprehend, a reader must know how to decode text as well as comprehend the language being used. The text points out that both of these elements is vital, but that one without the other will not ensure success. This week's PowerPoint takes this a step further and breaks these two elements down further. Word recognition covers decoding skills, phonological awareness, and sight recognition while language comprehension is builds on the ideas of background knowledge, vocabulary, language structures, verbal reasoning, and literacy knowledge. For a teacher, that is quite a substantial list to undertake to ensure that students are taught to be skilled readers.
Development of Reading Comprehension
In order to ensure that we support our readers, it is important to understand the development of reading comprehension. The first introduction to language starts as early as birth. Early on, children learn to communicate and interpret meaning before they can speak on their own. I have seen this first hand with my own child. She learned quickly that crying gets our attention and tells us that she needs something, while smiling tells us that she is content and happy. Luckily for us, she is a pretty happy girl! While learning to communicate in these simple ways, babies are also learning to understand language as well. In a relatively short amount of time, children learn to understand "almost everything that adults say to them". They are also learning important processes, such as reasoning and inferring, both of which are helpful in reading.
The next step in development happens during the early elementary years when student learning focuses on decoding and general reading skills. This is the time when students are taught important reading skills such as inferencing and how to monitor their comprehension. According to The Development of Comprehension article by Duke and Carlisle, students also gain much of their language knowledge incidentally through exposure to the language usage of others.
Later in elementary school, the shift in learning focuses from the acquisition of reading and language skills to the implementation of these skills in content area learning. While the focus has shifted, readers are also gaining a deeper understanding of the foundational knowledge received in the lower elementary grades. This includes morphological awareness and syntactic awareness.
Assessment of Reading Comprehension
Reading comprehension is a hard thing to assess, which is probably why there have been so many attempts to find the perfect system. The reading by Pearson and Hamm pointed out, however, that most of these assessments were, in essence, designed prior to World War II. One means of measuring comprehension was a test to measure intelligence. It was determined that reading comprehension and intelligence were very difficult to discern in this test. To me, I took that as meaning that the higher intelligence scores were based on the fact that the test taker could better understand the questions and therefore perform better than struggling readers who may actually have a better understanding of the material. Another method developed is the CLOZE procedure, a method with which many teachers are familiar. The problem with this method is that is is unclear whether these types of assessments measure reading comprehension rather than the linguistic predictability. CLOZE was also proven ineffective in a study by Shanahan, Kamil, and Tobin which found that the results were not dependent on the context of the passage.

Oblique case should not be confused with oblique argument.
In grammar, an oblique (abbreviated ; from Latin: casus obliquus) or objective case (abbr.) is a nominal case that is used when a noun phrase is the object of either a verb or a preposition. A noun or pronoun in the oblique case can generally appear in any role except as subject, for which the nominative case is used.[1] The term objective case is generally preferred by modern English grammarians, where it supplanted Old English's dative and accusative.[2] [3] When the two terms are contrasted, they differ in the ability of a word in the oblique case to function as a possessive attributive; whether English has an oblique rather than an objective case then depends on how "proper" or widespread one considers the dialects where such usage is employed.
An oblique case often contrasts with an unmarked case, as in English oblique him and them vs. nominative he and they. However, the term oblique is also used for languages without a nominative case, such as ergative–absolutive languages; in the Northwest Caucasian languages, for example, the oblique-case marker serves to mark the ergative, dative, and applicative case roles, contrasting with the absolutive case, which is unmarked.
Bulgarian, an analytic Slavic language, also has an oblique case form for pronouns:
Dative role:
(This oblique case is a relic of the original, more complex proto-Slavic system of noun cases, and there are remnants of other cases in Bulgarian, such as the vocative case of direct address)
An objective case is marked on the English personal pronouns and as such serves the role of the accusative and dative cases that other Indo-European languages employ. These forms are often called object pronouns, and as serve a variety of grammatical functions which they would not in the languages that differentiate the two; an example using first person singular objective pronoun me:
Do you see me?
The army sent me to Korea.
Kim passed me the pancakes.
Kim passed the pancakes to me.
That picture of me was blurry.
(cf. That picture of mine was stolen.)
[referring to a photograph] This is me on the beach.
It's me again.
(cf. Once again, it is I. [formal])
Who is it?—It's me.
(cf. It is I [''to whom you are speaking''].)
It's me who should fix it.
(cf. Since I made it, it is I who should fix it.)
Who made this bicycle?—Me.
(cf. Who made this bicycle?—I did.)
I like him.—Hey, me too.
(cf. I like him.—Hey, I do too.)
Who's gonna clean up this mess?—Not me!
Me and him are going to the store. (only in highly informal speech)
(cf. Is he going? Yes, he and I are going.)
Me, I like Spanish.
[spoken by [[Cookie Monster]]] Me so hungry.
The pronoun me is not inflected differently in any of these uses; it is used for all grammatical relationships except the genitive case of possession (in standard English) and a non-disjunctive nominative case as the subject.
Old French had a nominative case and an oblique case, called and respectively.
In Modern French, the two cases have mostly merged and the cas régime has survived for the majority of nouns. For example, the word "conte (tale)":
In some cases, both the cas sujet and cas régime of one noun have survived but produced two nouns in Modern French with different meanings. Example today's means "friend" and is "companion", but in Old French these were different declensions of the same noun.
Hindustani has an oblique case for pronouns which is used exclusively with postpositions. For nouns, the oblique and dative cases are merged.

I was an admirer ofHitchens; however I can not forgive him for not only supporting the Iraq war but continuing to support it. To me that taints his entire legacy. He made a few dumb statements, which anyone can forgive, but not that. Much the same, actually, as Michael Ignatieff although Ignatieff did take some of his support back.

I don't know... I always saw Hitchens as a bit of a bully, at least in his personal appearances. He'd yell. He'd interrupt. He was not a nice debater. Perhaps it was the booze talking.
But I certainly do agree on his ability to put words together. I found myself thinking, How did he think of putting that sentence together that way? Brilliant!
Thanks, Tom.

Access Ireland Holidays
We provide car hire, accommodation and sightseeing in Ireland.
We have an 8 page A4 brochure that is distributed to Travel Agencies and Consumers as we market our products to both target markets. The brochure is tired and "very" green in colour, so I want to come back to a more white glossy brochure with green and orange based on the Irish Flag. We can't go away from green, but I want less of it. We have a new logo as the old logo was the standard shamrock. We want something sophisticated but do not want to scare off our over 60s market with anything too slick. At the same time, we want to attract a family market for our car and accommodation packages. I have uploaded the current brochure for comparison. I would like a brochure front to include images of people having a good time, perhaps and older couple and a family group. Accommodation includes B&Bs, Hotels, Manors Homes, Castles and Inns and Pubs. We tailor-make itineraries for Individuals and Groups.

A love story between a painter and the subject
Elizabeth Peyton review – Sadie Coles London until 15 June 2019
Elizabeth Peyton returns to London with exhibition paintings and prints at Sadie Coles Gallery. The first thing I am drawn to as I view this new body of work is her passion for painting and the people she depicts. Over the years the configurations of her paintings have become more and more involved. The subject matter is still the same but Peyton's use of light, colour and poignancy has compounded. She brings out more physical aspects in her lush romantic paintings.
It is perhaps surprising that a few abbreviated spontaneous strokes can capture feelings sending them beyond merely descriptive marks. She captures his life force in 'David (Dave Bowie)' (2019). The watercolour brushwork is pure and clean like freshly fallen snow, allowing her to express direct expressions of emotion. Peyton uses the variations of bristles to portray a simple beauty and ideal concept.

Chantal Joffe asks; What is it like to be somebody else?
It is satiable to fall in love with the subject. However, falling in love is something Peyton does very easily. Her paintings and her marriage to the Thai artist Rirkit Tirvanija is evidence of that. In 1991, a few weeks after meeting Tirvanija, he was due to leave the US due to visa difficulties. But Peyton told her, "I will marry you" and he meant it. They were married three weeks later.
The happy marriage, unfortunately, came to an end in 2004 when they divorced. Nevertheless, Tirvanija introduced her to Gavin Brown, the art dealer, before he had his own gallery space. Gavin Brown encouraged Peyton to have a solo show in Room 828, at the Hotel Chelsea, in New York. This was to be the beginning of Peyton's art career.

Elizabeth Peyton - Sadie Coles London
Peyton started off her career painting a personal homage to artists and musician of the nineties. She was inspired by reading Stefan Zweig's 'Marie Antoinette: The portrait of an Average Women' and Vincent Cronin's 'Napoleon'. Peyton understood and realised that Zweig's book was a portrait of women infused with feelings and human insight. In Cronin's 'Napoleon' book he showed that because of Napoleon's individuality, he was able to use his magnetism to transform and change the world.
Elizabeth Peyton says, "I'd always made pictures of people, even when I was a little, little person. The urge was there. I just didn't know why. When I did that drawing of Napoleon, I realised this is something I have to do and want to do."

David Salle undressing the role of the artist and the writer
Once it occurred to Peyton that all she needed to validate her work was to realise that 'history is in people' and by romanticising the image she was able to capture the spirit of the time. By painting certain selected people in her show, Greta Thunberg, Jackson, Ally's kiss in the film 'A Star is Born', she is participating in what she sees as a highly important cause.
"I really love the people I paint. I believe in them, I'm happy they're in the world."
The images she chooses to paint are in comfortable and relaxed poses rather than the glamorous tabloid snaps of the front page. In her images, vulnerability and susceptibility are on show and warm and fuzzy feelings of desire and affection radiates.
The paintings make the viewer and artist come alive with Peyton's work reverberating powerfully with the viewing public. Peyton, by essential painting the characterise of the period, has deeply embedded her work in the zeitgeist. James Baldwin the American novelist, playwright and activities once wrote,
"People are trapped in history and history is trapped in them"

Baseball has roots in England. Apple pie has Dutch origins. If you're looking for something quintessentially American, try the iconic Chevrolet Corvette. For more than 60 years, the Corvette has been the definitive American sports car, and the current C7 generation is easily the best Vette yet.
The 2017 Chevrolet Corvette lineup gains a new Grand Sport model that combines the handling upgrades of the top-of-the-line Z06 with the manageable power of the base V8 engine. This results in one of the easiest cars on the market to drive fast (on a racetrack, of course). Fortunately, this track-ready performance doesn't come paired with a harsh ride. Across its model lineup, the Corvette continues to be the rare alpha performance car that's also adept at schlepping you and a passenger around in comfort.
If there's any doubt whether or not the 2017 Corvette is a driver's car, look no further than the interior. All major controls and readouts surround the driver like in a fighter jet cockpit for a snug, almost custom-fitted feel. Standard features for the Stingray 1LT include 18-inch front and 19-inch rear wheels with summer tires, Brembo brakes, xenon headlights, LED running lights, heated mirrors, keyless ignition and entry, dual-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, leather upholstery, eight-way power front seats and a power-adjustable steering wheel. You also get OnStar (with a 4G LTE data connection and Wi-Fi hot spot capability), Bluetooth, a color driver information display, an 8-inch central touchscreen with Chevy's MyLink infotainment interface, a rearview camera, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and a nine-speaker Bose sound system with two USB ports, an auxiliary audio jack, an SD card reader and satellite radio.
There's something wonderful about an American sports car with a big V8 under the hood, and the 2017 Chevrolet Corvette is a case in point. Even the base engine has an abundance of power, accompanied by a brash growl when unleashed. The standard seven-speed manual transmission features perfect, rev-matched downshifts that can be enabled or disabled via the column-mounted paddles!

The Power & Devotion
of a Dog!
For many of the youth, the Canine Connections Rescue & Therapy Program is their first bonding experience with an animal and perhaps with anyone. It is the first time they've found a living, breathing creature that will accept and love them unconditionally, without judgement, neglect or abuse.
Our mission at the Canine Connections Rescue & Pet Therapy Program is to improve the lives of our at-risk youth, promote their mental and emotional growth, plus provide a potential future vocation. This unique program can serve as their crucial starting-off point to love and trust. Although our focus is on at-risk youth gaining a second chance at a brighter future, there is also emphasis on the shared bond between the dogs, juvenile trainer and eventual owners. The entire process inspires hope and provides the ultimate feeling of satisfaction that contributes to the mental, emotional and physical well-being of the youth involved.

We took a long drive around Kootenay Lake today, first heading north on the 3a, passing through a few small towns until we got to Crawford Bay ~ a lovely, quaint town with a few shops and places to eat. The first place we stopped was the North Woven Broom Co. They hand-make brooms from the (100% raw, unprocessed) tassels of the Broomcorn plant from the Torreon region of Mexico. It was very cool to see the two people making brooms, learning about the brooms, and seeing their store. Their brooms were featured in (to name a few): Promotions of the Harry Potter bocks in Canada, the Bewitched movie staring Nicole Kidman, the TV series Star Trek, Broadway shows, and their even in the Smithsonian! I know this sounds odd, but North Woven Broom Co. was a really cool place with very nice people!
We then went to a few more shops, including Fireworks Copper & Glass, as well as Barefoot Handweaving - both stores were full of great items, as well as wonderful people who were happy to explain their craft. We had lunch at the Black Salt Cafe in Crawford Bay, which was very good, albeit a bit slow in the area of service.

arteamstic™ is a team-building concept based on a creative and artistic approach. The workshop is facilitated by a Swiss artist, a professional painter with several years' business experience in a multinational corporation.
Each team member contributes to the creation of a common artwork. Throughout the animation, the group has to make several decisions which will have a direct impact on the final artwork. Guided by the artist, the group goes into the technical aspects of painting such as colour harmony, contrasts, composition, etc. No prior technical knowledge is required.The painting remains property of the team. As a result, it acts as a visual and colourful reminder of a privileged moment spent together.
arteamstic™ comes to your premises or to any location of your choice and provides the painting and drawing material as well as the necessary protection for clothes, floors and tables.
The minimum duration for a 10-people workshop is 2 to 4 hours. A longer timeframe should be allowed for larger groups.
arteamstic™can organise workshops in English or in French. If needed, the artist can also explain animation details to Italian or German speakers.

Read These Tips Before Getting A Student Loan
Because college costs seem to go nowhere but up these days, student loans are something almost every young person needs to know something about. It is important to learn what kind of loans are available and the financial implications of each. Continue reading for student loan basic information.
Know how long of a grace period is in effect before you must begin to make payments on the loan. The grace period is the amount of time between your graduation date and date on which you must make your first loan payment. You can get a head start in making timely payments by knowing what your grace period is.
You don't need to panic if a problem arises during repayment of your loans. Unemployment or health emergencies will inevitably happen. Luckily, you may have options such as forbearance and deferral that will help you out. Just remember that interest is always growing, so making interest-only payments will at least keep your balance from rising higher.
Know how much time you have in your grace period from the time you leave school until you must begin paying back your loans. For example, you must begin paying on a Stafford loan six months after you graduate. Perkins loans have a nine-month grace period. The time periods for other student loans vary as well. This is important to avoid late penalties on loans.
Choose a payment plan that you will be able to pay off. Many loans offer a decade-long payment term. If these do not work for you, explore your other options. You might be able to extend the payments, but the interest could increase. Once you start working, you may be able to get payments based on your income. A lot of student loans will be forgiven after you've let twenty five years go by.
Make certain that the payment plan will work well for you. A lot of student loans give you ten years to repay. You may discover another option that is more suitable for your situation. For example, you may be able to take longer to pay; however, your interest will be higher. Another option some lenders will accept is if you allow them a certain percentage of your weekly wages. Some student loans are forgiven once twenty five years have gone by.
When you pay off loans, pay them off from highest to lowest interest rates. It's a good idea to pay back the loan that has the biggest interest rate before paying off the others. Do what you can to put extra money toward the loan so that you can get it paid off more quickly. Student loans are not penalized for early payoff.
Many people spend a lot of money while they are in college, accumulating large debt. If decisions on student loans are not made carefully, it can have adverse impact on the borrower's financial future after he graduates. Thankfully, the information gleaned from this article will steer you away from the troubling aspects of the student loans.…Read More
Getting Well Prepared For The College Experience
High school graduation is near and you are about ready to move on to college. You should think carefully about a number of important decisions, including which university you plan to attend. Pick your college wisely, as each one differs. Continue reading to get some great advice about choosing a college.
Have a good supply of toiletries on hand. These are very important and will run out quickly with all of the times that you will be using them. Try to buy in bulk as well, as this will help you to save money over time.
Carry a personal water bottle to school. It is important to stay hydrated throughout the day. This is even more crucial if your classes run one right after another and you just do not have the time to hydrate or eat. Constantly drinking water is a great way to help you remain focused throughout the day. A lot of water fountains out there allow for easy bottle refills as well.
Participating in clubs and other activities may be beneficial. If you do a lot of activities, you will be able to use them on your resume. You do need to make sure your grades do not suffer. So don't overdo it, and leave time for studying.
Be aware of where you sit in your classroom. Don't sit at the back! Try to sit near the front. You will feel more like a part of the class, and you will have an easier time asking questions.
Get real rest. It can be easy to stay up all night partying and having fun. When you are deprived of sleep, you may become grouchy and tired, which can put a damper on your enjoyment of the college experience.
You are not living with someone who can prepare meals for you and pick up after you anymore. Eat healthily, sleep enough, and keep your living area clean. Schedule equal time for attending classes, studying, recreation and taking care of yourself. Neglecting to fuel your body with nutritious foods can take an enormous toll on your sense of well-being, as can unchecked stress levels.
Create positive, lasting relationships with your professors. Professors are the most important resource and can help you get on your way. You should ask them about your class if you need help. Establishing a rapport with professors can result in higher grades and enhanced opportunities.
There is often no need to buy textbooks new and at full price. Look for the best deals you can find. If you buy your books new you will be spending a small fortune. Used text books will save you a great deal of cash.
Don't depend on your reputation from high school. The college experience is an entirely different animal than high school; no one is going to care about what you did when you were in high school. Make that effort to the extra mile that you didn't have to travel in high school, because the expectations in college are a whole level above what you have previously experienced.
It is crucial that you choose the school that suits you best. Whichever college you choose to attend will have a major impact on your life. Use this advice to make the best decisions for your future. Keep learning and have fun!…Read More
Quick And Easy Tips For Getting More From College
So, you are a high school senior? It's now time to spend time on applying to the college you want to go to. Know that not all colleges are alike and the one you choose will have an impact on the kind of education you receive. Read on to learn how to decide if a school is right for you.
As you prepare to attend college, write all the things you have to take down on a list. Even if you are attending school close to home, it is much more convenient to have everything with you rather than calling your parents to deliver things. This is even more important if you will be attending a college that is far away.
Student loans make it possible for anyone to attend college. College is something that can pay great dividends in the long run, so it should be okay to acquire a little bit of debt for the future rewards.
You should always eat healthy, even when you are at college. The freshman 15 is a real thing. Be sure to mind what you are eating. Avoid overconsuming fast foods and pizza. These foods are quick and easy, but they are very bad for you.
Set aside a generous block of time for daily study. Time spent on education will yield positive results in the long run. While you can still socialize you should treat college like a full time job. Doing well in college will mean more money and a better career.
Immerse yourself in many different activities in college. In addition to being fun, they reflect your interests and look great on a resume. Make sure you only take on what you can handle so your grades don't slip.
Eat breakfast on test days. A fruit, a yogurt and some toast is all you need to remain focused. If you're hungry, you won't be able to think straight. By eating at least a small meal, you will be better able to focus on the test and recall all of the information that you studied.
Make sure you get adequate rest in college. You'll find in college that all-nighters and socializing can be very tempting, but you do need to rest too! If you don't get enough sleep, you won't be able to be as focused in class as you should be.
It helps to stay connected with your instructors throughout the academic year. You need to know how you can reach them if you need to and where to find their office. You must develop good relationships with your professors so that you will feel comfortable talking with them if you need help or an exception on a due date.
No two colleges are the same. Choose a college that corresponds to your personality and your professional plans. Use the information from this article to help you find the college that is right for you. Since your future may be affected by this choice, be sure to choose wisely.…Read More

First published on 26th November 2015
Portable point-of-care devices for pathogen detection require easy, minimal and user-friendly handling steps and need to have the same diagnostic performance compared to centralized laboratories. In this work we present a fully automated sample-to-answer detection of influenza A H3N2 virus in a centrifugal LabDisk with complete prestorage of reagents. Thus, the initial supply of the sample remains the only manual handling step. The self-contained LabDisk automates by centrifugal microfluidics all necessary process chains for PCR-based pathogen detection: pathogen lysis, magnetic bead based nucleic acid extraction, aliquoting of the eluate into 8 reaction cavities, and real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Prestored reagents comprise air dried specific primers and fluorescence probes, lyophilized RT-PCR mastermix and stick-packaged liquid reagents for nucleic acid extraction. Employing two different release frequencies for the stick-packaged liquid reagents enables on-demand release of highly wetting extraction buffers, such as sequential release of lysis and binding buffer. Microfluidic process-flow was successful in 54 out of 55 tested LabDisks. We demonstrate successful detection of the respiratory pathogen influenza A H3N2 virus in a total of 18 LabDisks with sample concentrations down to 2.39 × 104 viral RNA copies per ml, which is in the range of clinical relevance. Furthermore, we detected RNA bacteriophage MS2 acting as internal control in 3 LabDisks with a sample concentration down to 75 plaque forming units (pfu) per ml. All experiments were applied in a 2 kg portable, laptop controlled point-of-care device. The turnaround time of the complete analysis from sample-to-answer was less than 3.5 hours.
Therefore there is an urgent need for a diagnostic system which is able to rapidly test for infections at the point-of-care.4 An ideal point-of-care system would be rapid, easy to use by non-experts with minimal hands on time and able to detect multiple pathogenic species in parallel in a small lightweight device. While a range of sample-to-answer systems for nucleic acid based detection of respiratory infections are commercially available, no system satisfies all the needs of such a point-of-care system (see Table 1). Most of the sample-to-answer systems listed in Table 1 are not suitable for point-of-care usage by non-experts due to their CLIA moderate complexity. The Alere™ i system (Alere Inc., USA) is the only CLIA waived product though it still requires multiple manual handling steps (e.g. manual washing of swabs). The Alere™ i system provides a fast time-to-result due to its isothermal amplification but is therefore limited in degree of multiplexing (two geometrical separated single-plex reactions). In fact, all systems are significantly limited in their degree of multiplexing (≤5-plex), with the exception of the FilmArray® system (BioFire Diagnostics, Inc., USA) which consists of 2 devices (loading station and FilmArray® instrument) and just as the 3M™ Integrated Cycler (Focus Diagnostics Inc., USA) system, doesn't provide prestorage of liquid reagents.5,6

The lack of liquid reagent prestorage results in additional handling steps which require additional hands-on time and training to use the system correctly. Thus, there is no point-of-care system offering truly minimal handling, while featuring a high degree of multiplexing as well as prestorage of all required liquid reagents. Lab-on-a-Chip devices are a promising candidate for point-of-care systems to detect nucleic acids. Different platforms with varying automation principles have been suggested for this task.8–11 Centrifugal microfluidics is especially suitable, due to its simple interfaces and the fact that it only requires a single actuator.12–15 Process chains demonstrated in centrifugal microfluidics are lysis,16–18 nucleic acid extraction19–25 and real-time amplification of nucleic acids.7,26–33 Due to recent advances in magnetic bead handling,24 valving,34–40 aliquoting41–43 and pumping44–47 integration of full sample-to-answer systems on the centrifugal microfluidic LabDisk platform now became feasible. Kim et al. presented an integrated centrifugal microfluidic disk for detection of food-borne pathogens. Valving was realized via laser actuated ferrowax valves. The laser diode used for actuation of valves was also used for thermal lysis and amplification via RPA. After RPA the amplification product is diluted and read-out is performed on a lateral flow strip.48 Jung et al. presented a Lab-on-a-Disk for detection of H1N1 from purified viral RNA or viral lysates. RNA was extracted via sequential flow of liquids over stationary microbeads.21 After extraction, the eluate was amplified via reverse transcription-LAMP. The chip did not include multiplexing or lysis.49 Roy et al. presented a centrifugal microfluidic disk for detection of Bacillus atrophaeus subsp. globigii spores. The disk includes mechanical cellular lysis, PCR amplification, digestion of amplicons and hybridization to a microarray. The disk is fabricated in thermoplastic elastomer, which allowed for sealing of the PCR chamber during PCR amplification by external pressure.50 G. Czilwik et al. presented a centrifugal microfluidic disk for neonatal sepsis. The disk extracts DNA from blood serum using a bind-wash-elute protocol automated using silica coated magnetic beads transported between adjacent chambers. The eluate is used to rehydrate a lyophilized polymerase pellet for pre-amplification of the target DNA. The pre-amplified target DNA is then pumped radially inwards by centrifugo-dynamic inward pumping and aliquoted into 13 reaction cavities for individual real-time PCR of the pathogens of interest. Detection of a sepsis panel has been demonstrated with four different bacterial pathogens.51
So far, no centrifugal microfluidic disk for nucleic acid sample-to-answer analysis with complete prestorage of reagents has been demonstrated. For the first time we demonstrate a fully automated sample-to-answer system – comprising prestorage of all required reagents – for detection of respiratory pathogens based on centrifugal microfluidics. The disk includes RNA extraction via chemical lysis and a bind-wash-elute protocol, based on transport of silica coated magnetic particles between adjacent chambers. The eluate is pumped to the aliquoting structure via centrifugo-dynamic inward pumping.52 The eluate is aliquoted into 8 × 10 μl aliquots, potentially allowing for 32-plex multiplexing (geometrical 8-plex distribution with up to 4-plex detection per reaction cavity using 4 different detection channels for real-time RT-PCR) with subsequent RT-PCR of the extracted RNA. All required reagents are prestored, either as dried reagents (magnetic beads, primer and fluorescence probes, lyophilized RT-PCR mastermix) or as liquid reagents using miniature stick-packs. Supply of the sample into the LabDisk remains the only manual handling step. The LabDisk is processed in a LabDisk player, a 15 cm × 18 cm × 28 cm small and 2 kg light device suitable for operation at the point-of-care. Functionality of the system was verified with an influenza real-time PCR assay using the respiratory pathogen influenza A H3N2 virus.
|Fig. 1 Photograph (left) of the LabDisk for sample-to-answer nucleic acid based detection of respiratory pathogens with complete reagent prestorage and a CAD drawing (right) of the microfluidic structure. The sample is supplied into the inlet chamber (a) while liquid reagents are prestored in stick-packs and placed therein into the overlapping stick-pack chambers (c) which are connected to the Teflon coated nucleic acid extraction structure (d–g) consisting of the lysis and binding chamber (d) wherein the magnetic beads are prestored, the washing chamber 1 (e) and 2 (f) and the eluate chamber (g). The microfluidic channels and pneumatic chambers in the area of (h) are used for inward pumping of the eluate into the aliquoting structure (i) and transferred subsequently to the reaction cavities (j). Primers and fluorescence probes are prestored in the reaction cavities as well as the RT-PCR lyophilisates. For optional reagent addition during the development phase of the LabDisk, chamber (b) was implemented. It can be used e.g. for loading a liquid RT-PCR mastermix instead of lyophilisates. The air vent (k) is covered by a hydrophobic membrane prohibiting contamination by aerosol dissemination.
|Fig. 2 Centrifugal microfluidic process-flow: (a) the 200 μl sample is supplied into the LabDisk. Then, the automated rotational frequency protocol starts: the sample is pumped radially outwards into the lysis chamber by centrifugation and therein prestored magnetic beads get rehydrated. (b) At a frequency of 55 Hz the RNA extraction buffers (except the binding buffer) are released out of the stick-packs and transferred to the corresponding and adjacent chambers of the RNA extraction structure, magnetic beads get rehydrated and resuspended and sample lysis starts while applying shake mode mixing (frequency alteration between 2 Hz and 14 Hz). The chemical lysis was applied for 10 minutes. All application times during extraction procedure were applied as specified by the manufacturer of the reagents. (c) The binding buffer is added to the lysed sample at a frequency of 80 Hz enabling RNA binding to the magnetic beads. The binding step takes 5 minutes and is accompanied by shake mode mixing. (d) Magnetic beads are transferred through the washing buffers by magnetic actuation.24 In each washing buffer the magnetic beads were mixed for 3 minutes by magnet induced collection of the magnetic beads (0 Hz for 3 seconds) followed by resuspension due to acceleration to the frequency of 10 Hz (hold for 7 seconds). Finally, the magnetic beads are transferred into the elution buffer and the RNA is released of the beads in the following 5 minutes. (e) After RNA elution the magnetic beads are transferred into the previous washing chamber, preventing potential failures in the following microfluidic procedure induced by the magnetic beads. (f) The RNA eluate is transferred to the radially inward placed collection chamber by centrifugo-dynamic inward pumping.52 (g) By applying 10 Hz the RNA eluate is transferred into the aliquoting structure, preparing 10 μl aliquots. The excess volume of RNA eluate is collected in the adjacent waste reservoir located at the end of the aliquoting structure. At 20 Hz aliquots of 10 μl are centrifuged into each of the eight reaction cavities inducing rehydration of the therein prestored RT-PCR lyophilisates as well as of primers and fluorescent probes. (h) Finally, reverse transcription and PCR with real-time fluorescent readout are performed.

The measured release frequencies demonstrate successful performance of on-demand frequency controlled reagent release. For ensuring the controlled reagent release in the LabDisk the parameters in the rotational frequency protocol were set to 60 seconds at 55 Hz for the lysis, washing 1, washing 2 and elution buffer release and 60 seconds at 80 Hz for the binding buffer release.
Assuming a normal distribution of release frequencies, we can estimate the error rates for the different stick-packs based on Table 2. The system will fail, if a) the stick-pack containing the binding buffer opens prematurely (release frequency ≤ 55 Hz, 12.9 sigma) or not at all (release frequency > 80 Hz, 7.9 sigma), b) the stick-pack containing the lysis buffer does not open at the initial 55 Hz rotation (4.7 sigma) or c) one of the other stick-packs does not open at the binding buffer release frequency of 80 Hz (>35 sigma). Based on the cumulated error rates for individual stick-packs, the error rate for full disks is 1 out of 825.000.
|Fig. 3 Fluorescence signal for parallel RT-PCR reactions acquired after the annealing step in each reaction cavity. Except reaction cavity 4 (parainfluenza panel) and reaction cavity 8 (atypical bacteria panel) each reaction cavity contained primers and fluorescence probe also detecting RNA bacteriophage MS2 as internal control. Missing primer and fluorescence probes for internal control led to the negative signal in these two reaction cavities.
|Fig. 4 Combined fluorescence signals of 18 individual LabDisk experiments with different influenza A H3N2 virus concentrations as sample.
The next step is a clinical validation of all integrated pathogen panels which either requires off- or on-disk homogenization and liquefaction of crude clinical samples.58 Handling of viscous and inhomogeneous crude clinical samples, such as sputum or tracheal and bronchial secretion is a challenging task which is not solved in any of the discussed commercially available systems (Table 1). Handling of inhomogeneous sample material may be addressed in further developments by adding a defined inlet port with an integrated sample preparation unit onto the LabDisk. In addition we will significantly reduce the time-to-result in further developments by shortening of the nucleic extraction protocol and reverse transcription process time or the usage of time-saving isothermal amplification methods e.g. recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) or loop mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). Geometrical multiplexing41 guarantees high degree of multiplexing even by applying isothermal amplification methods. Furthermore, the aliquoting structure in the current disk could be replaced with centrifugal step emulsification,59 which would allow for fully integrated sample-to-digital-answer disposables.
Overall, the LabDisk features 1) a disposable with only one structured part and a flat sealing foil, 2) a simple reader with a rotational motor, heating unit and fluorescent detector, and 3) the possibility to use standard PCR assays without microarrays. This could be very attractive features when commercializing the system.

Hoverboards have been proven in all sorts of press all the time and although they felt way too futuristic, they've become a reality today. They've all of the capabilities that could actually wish and have from h20 resistance to mobile app controls to help you complete control at the fingertips of yours. But with countless companies coming into the fray how can you get the perfect products? Let us find out.
Among the things which you've to remember is the fact that products that are good don't come cheap and you've to commit a great deal to get a high quality product. You must select reliable makes for all the needs of yours and purchase from reliable online retailers offering quality products.
Brand name Value
Invariably you should attempt to bank on manufacturers that provide you not just quality products but also depend on brands that provide you with the correct warranty with every type of manufacturing defect or maybe technical flaw covered and appropriate return policies. Not everybody is able to get the best product at the very first go, so ensure you've a return policy with a minimum of thirty many days to get the perfect product. Rather than settling in for an inexpensive product you must actually go in for one thing is more reliable even in case it means that you've to save up for some time.
Battery life
Batteries can also be something that you have to remember when selecting your hoverboard since creating a bad battery is able to result in major damage to the board rather easily. You have to ensure you've reliable technologies under the hood. You must also read the policies correctly to ensure you've a good understanding of anything that's covered. Lithium Ion batteries would be the majority in general and provide longer periods of multiple recharge cycles and usage for anybody who's looking to obtain best hoverboards they can depend on.
Reviews are identified to be the best source of yours of info. You are going to be able to get a load of online reviews that discuss popular boards. You should settle in for something that's dependable and user reviews are the best source of yours of proper information. It's also one of the greatest methods to evaluate several boards with one another to find a clear understanding of exactly how each item will work. Certifications can also enable you to know which boards have the proper degree of certifications. CC, RoHS and FCC are 3 of the most crucial certifications that you have to keep in mind when selecting a panel for yourself.
You are going to be able to get a broad range of choices at stores that are online but in case you would like to test out products yourself very first hand then you need to head to a traditional retailer and test out boards also. You are going to be in a position to see for yourself in case you are obtaining the quality and correct size. Regardless of what you should not settle for one thing that's quality that is low in nature and always pick brands which are known to provide high quality products.

Step on the highline with Alex Mason as he goes the distance beneath one of the most spectacular solar eclipses we'll ever witness. Sketchy Andy and slackline sensation Alex Mason booked it to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, when they caught wind of this epic natural phenomenons. Together with National Geographic photographer and explorer Keith Ladzinski, they captured a once in a lifetime photo of Alex doing what he does best.
While total solar eclipses aren't super rare — there will be 15 of them around the world between 2009 and 2028 (roughly one every 18 months) — the combination of this particular total eclipse happening from coast to coast across the entire United States in the height of summer during prime daylight hours is incredibly uncommon. The last time a solar eclipse was visible coast to coast in the United States was 99 years ago and today's eclipse was the first total solar eclipse to be seen only on American soil since 1776. Plus, from any given spot on Earth, a total eclipse is observable once every 375 years. As we said, this was once in a lifetime.

Sutton United 4 Reading U21s 0 (19th July 2014)
I'm out of practice at this, barely finding the energy to describe the game and this new ground for me, but not as out of practice at this young Reading team looked as they were comprehensively outplayed.
Opting out the first team's trip to Yeovil, this reserve clash at Sutton's previously unvisited Gander Green Lane ground was my choice on this very warm and humid afternoon. The a/c in my car had thankfully kept both heat & humidity at bay as I crawled along a section of the M25, zipped as fast as I could past Tolworth, possibly the dreariest place in the whole country, through the attractive Cheam High Street (apparently most "Tudor" buildings here date right back to the 1930s, but nevertheless still look better than any other high street built since then) before parking in a side street opposite the ground. Even allowing for taking a wrong turn into the park rather than the club entrance, from car to turnstile can't have been more than two minutes.
That's just as well, as it wasn't a day that welcomed any kind of physical exertion. For the first time at a football match in the UK I'd gone for a pre-match bottle of water than a beer, although getting to the ground about 20 minutes later than planned also had something to do with it.
Gander Green Lane is a ground that most fans over their mid 30s will remember from the day when Sutton famously beat Coventry City, cup winners of two years earlier, 2-1 in the FA Cup 3rd Round in 1989. Perhaps more bizarre for me was seeing live coverage of Sutton's 2011 cup tie here v Notts County in Bangkok, with Thai commentary.
The ground had changed a bit from what I remembered. The curving terraces behind both goals have since been truncated, to be replaced with modern covered terracing units, which while not blessed with an abundance of character, probably offer better viewing than the originals. The fair sized curving terraces still exist in the corners though, meaning that unlike most non-league grounds that claim a similar 5000 capacity, a crowd of that number here would actually allow everyone a view of the pitch.
The main feature of the ground is an old style stand for about 750, not quite as imposing somehow as similar grounds at other non-league venues, even if it would be the envy of most at their level. The better view and shade this stand offered made the stand a tempting vantage point, but the extra admission required to do so put me off.
Opposite is a decent chunk of covered terrace, not quite going the full length of the pitch, but solid-looking enough to almost make it look like it had been carved rather than constructed. Both sides were a fair distance from the pitch, which was less than ideal, due to the ground once having a track, with strips of artificial turf used to fill the gap. Many fans clung to the pitchside railing rather than the relative lofty terraces, with the humidity causing a palpable lack of a desire to do anything other than stay very still.
Sadly, for those people (and there weren't exactly loads) venturing across to Sutton to see what Reading's academy had to offer, this attitude extended to most of this youthful squad. Many of the better U21 players had travelled with the first team to Yeovil, and this game would be men against boys in every sense here.
It would be unfair not to praise Sutton for a decent display, but Reading didn't exactly go out of their way to make things difficult for their opponents, with a sloth-like ability to stand and watch at the back, coupled with an apparent belief that as they were sweating enough just standing around, actually working hard at the game seemed pointless.
It took Sutton just six minutes to take the lead. A low shot was saved, but not cleared. After being chipped back in, it was just simply lifted back over the keeper into the far side of the net. The 2nd on half an hour was a stunningly directed in a near-post header from a set piece, although the defender's decision to not challenge was at best questionable. The third, just before half time, was a shot drilled in after nobody cleared. It could have been worse too.
Any thought of a determination to redress the balance a bit was shown to be forlorn when Sutton added another too easy goal, from a low cross to the near post soon after the break. The Reading youngsters, who barely managed a decent chance of their own all afternoon despite never looking over-run, were probably fortunate that there was no more scoring. It could have got rather embarrassing.

Commander in Chief
According to ABC's Cokie Roberts, hints that Hillary Clinton may be unlikable can be traced back to sexism. The veteran journalist appeared on Good Morning America, Tuesday, to promote her new book, but the conversation veered into a discussion of 2016. Citing an unnamed poll, Roberts referenced "research that shows that a woman who is strong and powerful is seen as not friendly and empathetic."
The major broadcast networks on Wednesday refused to cover the first hearing held by the House Select Committee on Benghazi to begin assessing what happened in the 2012 attack that left U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, foreign service officer Sean Smith, and CIA contractors Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty dead.
Between their morning and evening newscasts, the "big three" networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC neglected to offer any stories on the bipartisan hearing chaired by Congressman Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), who promised that: "[O]ur fellow citizens deserve all of the facts of what happened before, during, and after the attacks in Benghazi and they deserve an investigative process worthy of the memory of those who died and worthy of the trust of our fellow citizens."
Rick Santorum's recent rise in the polls in the GOP primary has escalated the liberal media's attacks on the former Pennsylvania Republican Senator, primarily on his socially conservative views. This is not surprising since journalists have admitted, in several surveys, to being far more liberal on social issues like abortion than even the general public. One such survey of journalists, from top media outlets, found that nearly all of the media elite (97 percent) agreed that "it is a woman's right to decide whether or not to have an abortion," and five out of six (84 percent) agreed strongly." For more please visit the MRC's Media Bias 101 page.
The disdain for Santorum from that media elite began almost as soon as he arrived in the Senate in 1995. The following is a collection, in chronological order, of the 10 most vicious anti-Santorum quotes from the MRC's archive: (videos after the break)
MSNBC's Savannah Guthrie on Thursday conducted a sycophantic interview with Michelle Obama, urging the First Lady to complain about the "uglier side" of the health care debate. The Daily Rundown co-host sympathetically asked, "There was a lot of vitriol, some pretty hateful things said. And I wondered what your feeling was about that?" [Audio available here.]
Guthrie continued, "Was it hard to stand by and listen to some of that?" Offering the First Lady another softball, she reiterated, "Hearing some of the uglier side of it, did that make you angry?"
The questions didn't get any tougher. Discussing Barack Obama's coming Supreme Court nomination, Guthrie prompted, "You're a Harvard-educated lawyer. Do you think there should be more gender balance, gender equity on the court?" Many of the queries were so vague as to barely qualify as questions: "Do you feel like you have to avoid controversy? Do you feel like you have to edit yourself?"
On PBS's Web site today, ombudsman Michael Getler writes of complaints over an incident during last Sunday's pledge drive. He describes the cheap shot taken by actor Mike Farrell against vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin:
According to Joseph Campbell, vice president of fundraising programs, here's what happened:
BLITZER: What do you think of his (Obama's) decision to pick Joe Biden as his running mate?
On CNN's American Morning today, White House correspondent Suzanne Malveaux reported on Barack Obama's campaigning in Virginia. Afterwards, anchor Kiran Chetry had a question:
CHETRY: All right. And Suzanne, what's on tap for the campaign today? And please tell me it's not lipstick again.
MALVEAUX: Let's hope not. He's going to be in Norfolk, Virginia. That is in southeast Virginia, and it's home to the world's largest Naval base. It's one of the most competitive areas that the Democrats and Republicans are fighting over. It's a critical piece of property, piece of land there with folks in Virginia, and they want those voters.
ABC correspondent John Berman used a report on Tuesday's "Good Morning America" to whine about the fact that Barack Obama has had to defend himself against serious charges. He opened the segment by commenting on a series of speeches the Democrat is giving that tout patriotism and lamented, "Well, you would think a man elected to the U.S. Senate, who is the Democratic nominee for president of the United States, would not feel a need to defend his love for America."
Berman's colleague, GMA co-host Robin Roberts, interviewed Obama surrogate General Wesley Clark and actually grilled him about his assertion that John McCain's Vietnam-era military service isn't a credential to be president. However, she credulously accepted the attempts by the Democratic nominee to disavow himself from the attack, saying, "...The McCain and Obama camps are divided on most things but they have agreed on one, that the comment by retired General Wesley Clark was out of line..."
On June 24, however, Roberts discussed remarks made by Charlie Black, an aide to Senator McCain, in which Mr. Black claimed that a terrorist attack would help the presumptive GOP presidential nominee. In this instance, she was far more cynical. Roberts speculated, "Almost immediately, we had apologies from McCain and Charlie Black, but is this the kind of thing that a campaign puts out there on purpose and then retracts?"
Be honest: when you saw the news Sunday that a woman was going to be president in the next season of the hit series "24," you smelled something akin to when ABC made a similar announcement concerning "Commander in Chief," and CBS hired Katie Couric.
Well, according to Politico, the failure of both is actually not good news for Hillary Clinton (h/t Hot Air).
But, before we get there, what was also fascinating about this piece was how the producer of "Commander in Chief" admitted a political goal behind casting Geena Davis as the first female president (emphasis added throughout):
Did you hear that loud crashing sound on Sunday? That was either media members across the country jumping off the Hillary for President bandwagon, or the Clintonistas slapping their knees over the gullibility of the press and the people they cater to.
Says Hollywood Reporter:
All together now…awwwwwwww.
What a shame. After a number of dismal weeks scraping the bottom of the ratings barrel – as well as numerous changes in time slot positioning, personnel restructurings, and bucket-loads of advertising dollars – the "let's hope life will imitate art," and much ballyhooed ABC television series "Commander in Chief," has finally been yanked from the airwaves.
I guess those folks over at the Golden Globe were more impressed with Geena Davis in the role of president than the voters. Just imagine an awards organization having a different view of reality than the people. Tough to believe, isn't it.
Sadly, it's true. According to Reuters:

From 25.-27.07.2018 the conference on Higher Education was held in Trichy. Karola Wood was invited as guest speaker, but she could not attend because of pressing personal reasons. But with the help of film maker Christine Gertler she produced a video about REWA and the work we do and added about 90 pictures to it, sent it to Trichy and it was accepted.
Both students Lobzang and Dechen from Leh had just arrived in Trichy for studies. They know REWA very well, so they represented Karola Wood and REWA properly, speaking about the work REWA does and talking to people, answering their questions.
Lobzang is the sister of the very first girl with disabilities that Karola Wood treated 2003 in Lingshed after a medical student had found the little girl 2001 and had promised to find help for the disabled child.
Both students, Lobzang and Dechen, come from poor families and have been able to travel to Trichy for studies with the help of sponsors from Germany. They will work with and for REWA later on, taking care of children with disabilties in Ladakh.
Both girls were supported with their preparations for the conference by the sisters of the Holy Cross College and a friend of Karola, a young local man Karthik. Thanks to everybody that made this incredible event possible!

Naas' Moat Theatre thanks Celine Byrne for fundraising concerts
'The Show Must Go On'
Michael Broe of the fundraising committee, Celine Byrne and Moat Theatre manager Kathleen Smith
Naas' Moat Theatre has thanked world-renowned soprano Celine Byrne for her last week's fundraising concerts in aid of the arts venue.
The Caragh native, who got her first start on the stage at the Moat as part of Naas Musical Society, put on two shows last week to help raise money for the theater.
It was also her birthday on Wednesday, May 3, so the theatre staff asked Alice's Restaurant in Naas to make a cake to mark the occasion.
READ MORE: Kildare County Council pledges Moat support
"Celine put on a performance worthy of her birthday on both nights and she made sure that the audience bought raffle tickets too so to raise as much money as possible for the theatre," said Celine Garvey, assistant manager at the Moat Theatre. "Celine, like all the Naas locals, does not want to see such a valuable local amenity struggling for cash flow."
"She gave up her time for The Moat, and she was delighted so many came out to support the cause.
"The theatre needs upgrading. When it was developed in 2003 into a 200 seat venue, the plan would have always been to redevelop with the changing times. Yet, as the times changed, money became precious in people's pockets so maintenance was more about health and safety than aesthetics."
The theatre last year launched a 'The Show Must Go On' fundraising campaign.

A smile can clear most misunderstandings and win people's hearts in an instant. So who would not like to have a big bright smile?
It is highly important that you maintain dental hygiene to prevent your teeth from turning yellow or brown.
According to ayurveda, your mouth is the center of kapha dosha. The kapha dosha must not be marred because imbalance with the kapha dosha can cause oral troubles as well as yellow stains on your teeth. Ayurveda has prescribed various methods which can help attain whiteness of the teeth as well as maintain it for long years.
Foods That Effect Teeth Whitening. The Good, Bad and the Ugly!
Eat pungent and bitter foods : Pungent and bitter foods have astringent value which helps in keeping the teeth clean. They also reduce the plaque on teeth, hence protecting the teeth from losing its shiny glow.
Avoid sweet foods : Any sweet foods like chocolate, pudding etc are bad for teeth. Must take care to wash and gargle your mouth after having sugary foods. Also never sleep with sweet mouth.
Avoid tea, coffee and smoking : Drinking too much tea, coffee or regular smoking can cause staining of teeth because they contain strong alkaloids.
Herbs That Promote Teeth Health
- Basil (aka tulsi, Ocimum sanctum)Sun dried and powdered basil leaves when used for brushing teeth imparts oral hygiene and makes teeth gleaming white. Basil also wards off dental problems such as pyorrhea or bleeding of gums.
- Babul (aka Acacia arabica)In ancient India only babul twigs were used for brushing teeth. The tannin component in babul is excessively effective in teeth whitening. It is one of the best herb described in ayurveda for oral hygiene.
- Banyan (aka Ficus religiosa)Apart from babul, the aerial roots of this tree are also used for brushing teeth. The astringent properties present in babul roots make the gums healthier and teeth whiter.
- Margosa (aka neem, Azadirachtha indica)The neem twigs if used for brushing teeth can make the teeth whiter. Neem is rich in antiseptic and ayurvedic properties which helps treat cavities, kill germs accrued on teeth and fight bad breath.
Home Remedies
Instead of spending money on regular visits to the dentist, why not try these home remedies for whitening of teeth; the best that could happen is that you may never have to visit your dentist again.
- A mixture of babul wood charcoal mixed with roasted alum and rock salt when rubbed on teeth makes your teeth shiny white. Can be used instead of toothpaste.
- The orange peel is also rich in Vitamin C. An orange peel when rubbed on teeth before sleeping at night helps in fighting against germs all night long.
- Tomatoes and strawberries are also good sources of Vitamin C. Apply them directly on teeth for making them whiter and healthier.
- For teeth whitening, you can use sodium bicarbonate or baking soda to brush as a cheap alternative to expensive teeth whitening treatments. It replenishes the mineral content of teeth and makes them whiter. Read more on this at http://www.bhandaldentistry.co.uk/teeth-whitening-baking-soda
- Salt mixed with mustard oil not only provides relief during tooth aches but also makes them bright and white.
Ayurvedic Tip
Paste of basil leaves when mixed with mustard oil makes an excellent toothpaste. By rubbing it on teeth you can get rid of plaque accumulated on teeth and make them whiter than they were ever before.
These tips and remedies are mere suggestions. Caution is advised while trying them as some herbs and alternatives may provoke allergic reactions in individuals.

Mildura is a perfect departure point for Lake Eyre, easy access from all Australian Capital Cities with direct flights from Melbourne, Sydney & Adelaide.
Lake Eyre 2019 Exclusive tour
Day 1:
Lake Eyre water level 2019 is expected to create the biggest flood for decades.
Join us on an exclusive private tour in one of our brand-new Cessna aircraft featuring high wing design for fantastic photographs.
Departing Mildura our track takes us over the stunning Flinders Ranges to Marree which is located at the junction of the Birdsville and Oodnadatta tracks.
We have lunch at the Marree Hotel, which also has an interesting Tom Kruse Museum. After lunch we take a stroll around the town, the Museum Park opposite the hotel has a collection of memorabilia right in the town centre, including an old mail truck in which Tom Kruse used for many years to take the mail from Marree to Birdsville. Check out the time on the Camel sundial made from old railway sleepers!
Marree is home to Australia's first mosque, which was made of mud brick and built by the Afghan cameleers, employed building the Ghan Railway. Descendants of those Afghan cameleers, who helped to build the Overland Telegraph and the Ghan railway line, still live in town today.
Leaving Marree we head for Lake Eyre – Kati Thanda. You will probably see more of Lake Eyre than any other tour. Lake Eyre South, Madigan Gulf, Jackboot Bay, Silcrete Island, Belt Bay, and Dulhunty Island we then track up the Warburton Groove. The amazing ever-changing colours are fantastic; you will have plenty of opportunity to take great photos. Your Pilot will assist by positioning the aircraft for the best views.
Our overnight stop is at William Creek, featured in the movie "Last Cab to Darwin" With a population of just ten, William Creek is one of the smallest towns in Australia and situated on the world's largest working cattle station, Anna Creek Station.
The William Creek Hotel is one of Australia's iconic outback pubs dating back to 1887.
Accommodation is in modern cabins with ensuite, continental breakfast is included.
Day 2:
Departing William Creek, we track southwest for the "Painted Hills" an amazing sight from the air, with vivid ochre markings, emerging suddenly from the flat desert landscape.
Millions of years ago the hills, which consist of highly ironized sandstone, are believed to have formed the shoreline of an inland sea. When they were exposed erosion started and the iron came to the surface in the dramatic display of colours which can be seen today.
We track past Olympic Dam Mine, where the Artesian Bore ponds reflect great colours for aerial photos, Andamooka Opal Mining town and over Lake Torrens for Wilpena Pound.
This extraordinary landscape is 800 million years old. Millions of years of erosion have created the natural amphitheatre, surrounded by ancient mountain ranges.
We land at Hawker for lunch where you will be picked up in a Rolls Royce to see the fabulous Jeff Morgan gallery. The gallery has some fantastic panoramas including the amazing 360° Painting of Wilpena Pound.
From Hawker our flight back to Mildura takes us over the Barrier Ranges into New South Wales, past Lake Victoria, over the Darling River anabranch and the Murray Darling Junction.
$2495 pp including accommodation & meals, phone Larry 0419 577 431 for more information. Variation to itinerary and custom tours available.

Mark Wahlberg Tries Out For Philadelphia Eagles In Invincible
Invincible opens tomorrow. They're calling it an inspiring true story and I guess it is in many ways but for me it's the ultimate fantasy: To be able to try out for a professional football team. Damn! Wouldn't that be cool?
The movie stars Mark Wahlberg as Vince Papale, a Philadelphia Eagles season ticket holder who tried out for the 1976 team after then-rookie head coach Dick Vermeil announced he would have open tryouts. Greg Kinnear plays Vermeil and looks uncannily like the young coach.
In 1963 sports writer George Plimpton attended spring training with the Detroit Lions and ran a few plays from scrimmage as a quarterback for the team during an exhibition game. Plimpton's experiences resulted in the book and the movie it was based on, Paper Lion. The stories are obviously simliar but whereas Plimpton's experience was simply material for a book, Vince Papale was seriously competing for a spot on the roster:
