An Efficient RDH Algorithm for Data Separation and Image Retrieval in Fused Image
Journal: International Journal of Linguistics and Computational Applications (Vol.4, No. 1)Publication Date: 2017-03-10
Authors : V.Archana N.Kalaivani V.Srividhya S.Panimalar Dr.S.Hemalatha Dr.T.Kalaichelv;
Page : 13-16
Keywords : Reversible data hiding; least significant bit; Discrete wavelet transform; data embedding.;
This efficient novel proposes the implementations of [RDH] Reversible data hiding techniquewith an adaptive high embedding capacity by using the [LSB] Least significant method to embed the data into the fused image. RDH can be used in important and sensitive areas like military applications where image secrecy is maintained. This method helps to hide or encrypt a data into an image with full embedding efficiency and the original content can be losslessly recovered and also includes the watermarking algorithm. The existing algorithm used generalized integer transformation [GIT] which was used for embedding process and generalized and adaptively embeds additional bits into different kinds of blocks. Thus, to enhance the security while encryption and decryption and to minimize the distortion and achieve security to the embedded data the RDH algorithm is used.

A momentous event has occurred. The Wizards of Turf have excelled themselves this time, going above and beyond the call of duty. They have created a work of unparalleled genius of the kind not seen since early man discovered fire then burnt the toast, yet at the same time also despicably sadistic and worthy of the super-villain, Felonious Gru, or perhaps the mean and nasty Mrs Tweedy from Chicken Run.
The amazing marvel/devilishly evil creation I am talking about here is a new medal series, the Five-a-Day, also referred to a the Daily Five, granted to turfers who have taken over, assisted, or revisited, at least 5 zones every day for various set numbers of days in a row, with medals awarded for 10, 30, 60, 90, 180 and even an astonishing 365 days!
On the face of it this is simply marvellous and excitingly exciting, and I cannot wait to get started. It encourages you to get out there and take/assist/revisit at least five zones every day. Easy enough for the first medal in the series, the Daily-10. Once you've competed that you will likely be tempted with the next medal the Daily-30. Okay, you then think about the next medal, the Daily-60. If I don't continue from this point on you will need to start from stretch again. So, you continue, always reluctant to stop because you'll need to start again at Day Zero. That's the devilishly evil part, the Five-a-Day will become an all-consuming addiction. For a year anyway.
But there's more. Once you get up into the higher numbers, say the Daily-180, imagine you miss your Five-a-Day at day 179. Go Back to Start, as the dreaded Monopoly card proclaims. That would be unbearable having to start all over again. And there is worse, far, far worse, worse even than worse could possibly be, even worse than having missed out on that Round Gold Medal by one measly point! Just think, and this really doesn't bare thinking about. You've managed to complete your Five-a-Day for 364 days, a cat's whisker away from an entire year. STOP. No, enough, I cannot put those words down in front of me. It would be too much to have to live with. Best not to think that way. Let's just say Five-a-Day is a jolly good thing and everyone should have a go.
The Turf Ultimate Region Fight 2021 started yesterday but other Sunday tasks meant I was unable to get turfing until this morning, so have some catching up to do. A good start was made by taking zones in Rosewell, Bonnyrigg, Eskbank and Dalkeith, accumulating a good 15,000 points and 81 zones/takes/uniques. During my two turfing sessions, I couldn't help but think about the Daily medals, at least when I wasn't avoiding Death in the busy, crazy-mental traffic in Dalkeith. First question was, should I go for it? And the obvious answer was, a big resounding YES, and I'm going for the Daily-365, fool that I am, perhaps. Was also out again taking zones around midnight. I just couldn't sleep for all the excitement of a new medal series.
It should be easy enough to take five zones a day, especially when assist and revisits also count. No need to worry about not being able to take any local zones and having to travel further afield to take just five zones. Even in poor weather, such a blizzards, hurricanes, tornadoes or even Earth being invaded by little green bug-eyed aliens, five zones should still be possible. I think the biggest issue is remembering to actually take five zones each and every day. Not only that but all manner of things can get in the way such as family commitments, going away on holiday to zone-free areas, having to go to W.O.R.K and so on and so forth. By the powers of Castle Grayskull, this will be fun!
Unlike the Trainer medal where you can use Warded to keep tally of your takes, keeping track of your Five-a-Day is also important but there does not seem to be anything available on Warded. or anywhere else I can think of looking. Perhaps it's early days yet. How do you know that your actual five takes have been recorded and counted towards your goal? Perhaps, the Coding Wizards of Turf will come up with something to assist us poor retired code-blind ex-IT support engineers? I guess it's back to the old analogue ways of record keeping, a notebook and pen! Okay then. Let's get started, shall we?
Stardate: 75158.4 I have already missed a day, the dizzy space haddock that I appear to be. So, have purchased, for the princely sum of £1.14 including delivery, an A6 homework diary from Amazon. That should do the trick, hopefully. At least only a couple of days lost.

We usually pay attention to the elegant business district side of Yokohama. But Yokohama Port has been a trading port since it opened in 1859. It is home to 263 berths with 37559 ships arriving a year. It is one of the busiest ports in the world, consistently ranking in the top 25-30 ports worldwide.
If you are interested in the industrial side of Yokohama Port, you might enjoy visiting Honmoku–futo Wharf, D-Jetty. It is accessible by bus and has some harbor facilities that are open to the public. In the park, there is a tower with observatory, and a fishing pier.
Yokohama Port Symbol Tower
The practical role of this tower is to send signals and information to ships sailing in the port. But the tower has an observatory and anyone can go up during the daytime. The tower itself is 58.5 meters high and has radar and an antenna on the top. The observatory is at the 36.5-meter level. After going up the stairs, you'll reach the simple observatory. There are several seats to relax in while enjoying the view. Around the tower, there is a semicircular corridor providing a great view of the bay as well as the industrial wharf area.
I like to see the well-ordered colorful containers and giant cranes here. And it's also a good place to see the Bay Bridge with the Minato-mirai skyscrapers in the background. From the observatory of the tower, you can view the entire bay area of Yokohama and Tokyo.
Honmoku Fishing Pier
The total length of this fishing pier is 1300 meters. The pier faces Tokyo Bay with the Boso Peninsula (Chiba) directly in front of you, and the Miura Peninsula to the south. You can enjoy fishing throughout the year. Sardine, mackerel, black bass, and sea bass are commonly caught. Fishing tickets are 900 yen for adults, 450 yen for school kids. An entrance fee of 100 yen is charged for people who just want to look around and enjoy the sights.
If you want to go fishing there, please check weather conditions before you go at this website: Honmoku Fishing Pier. If it's windy, some of the jetties might be closed.

Cracks in walls can be a pesky problem that can detract from the overall appearance of your home. Not only do they look unsightly, but they can also indicate underlying structural issues. Fortunately, there are some genius hacks that can help you fix those cracks and bid them farewell for good. To ensure your home in Lincoln maintains its visual appeal, here's a look at five genius hacks that can help you fix those cracks and bid them farewell for good. If you feel overwhelmed about tackling these repairs independently, this article will also delve into how hiring a handyman Lincoln NE, can provide you with expert assistance and ensure a seamless restoration process.
Fill and Sand
The first hack involves filling and sanding the cracks to create a smooth surface. Start by cleaning the crack and removing any loose debris. Next, use a putty knife to apply a high-quality wall filler into the crack, ensuring it is completely filled. Once the filler is dry, gently sand the area using fine-grit sandpaper until it is level with the surrounding wall. This technique will make the crack less visible and provide a solid foundation for further repairs.
Consider Hiring a Handyman
Hiring a handyman can be a wise decision if you find yourself overwhelmed or unsure about tackling wall repairs on your own. A handyman is a skilled professional specializing in various home improvement tasks, including wall repairs. They have the experience and expertise to handle various wall issues efficiently.
When you hire a handyman in Lincoln, NE, you can expect them to assess the condition of your walls, identify the best repair methods, and execute the repairs with precision. They will have access to the necessary tools and materials, ensuring a high-quality and long-lasting fix.
Apply Fiber Tape
Fiber tape is a self-adhesive mesh that adds strength and stability to the wall. After filling the crack with filler, cut a piece of fiber tape slightly longer than the crack. Press the tape onto the filled crack, making sure it adheres firmly. Then, apply a thin layer of filler over the tape, feathering it out to blend with the wall's surface. This hack effectively reinforces the repair and minimizes the chances of future cracks.
Utilize Textured Paint
Textured paint camouflages imperfections and adds a stylish touch to your walls. Opt for a texture that matches the surrounding wall or experiment with a complementary design. Before applying textured paint, ensure the repaired area is smooth and dust-free. Use a roller or a brush to evenly apply the textured paint, following the manufacturer's instructions. The texture will effectively hide the repaired crack, giving your walls a fresh and flawless appearance.
Install Crown Molding
Crown molding is a decorative trim that adds visual interest and covers up imperfections. Measure the length of the wall and cut the crown molding accordingly. Apply adhesive to the back of the molding and firmly press it against the wall, ensuring it is level and secure. Once in place, the crown molding will not only conceal the cracks but also add a touch of sophistication to your living space.
Address Underlying Structural Issues
If you notice recurring cracks or cracks that seem to be widening, it's best to consult a professional to assess the situation. A qualified contractor or structural engineer will be able to identify the root cause and recommend appropriate repairs. Remember, addressing structural issues promptly will ensure the long-term stability of your walls and prevent future cracks from forming.
Cracks in walls can be frustrating, but with these genius hacks, you can say goodbye to them forever. Remember to address any underlying structural issues promptly to prevent further damage. With these techniques, you can restore the beauty of your walls and enjoy a crack-free living space for years to come.

PassengerBike - London's Motorcycle Taxi
In a former life, I used to be an investment banker working
for Barclays in New York and London. So I had gotten used to doing the routine
taxi, tube (metro), or fast train (Heathrow Express) to get from Heathrow
Airport to my hotel or Canary Wharf. No matter which way I went it was
always a drag.
However, I had often times seen and heard of Virgin
Atlantic offering passenger motorcycle service in London but never been able to
take it because we flew American Airlines or British Airways.
My last trip through London to visit my sister I decided to try to find and take a motorcycle taxi into London. The reasons behind this were simple: .
1. London traffic is horrible and it can take forever (1-2 hours) to get from Heathrow to anywhere reasonable in the city area.
2. London metro service was recently on strike and is often plagued by delays resulting in one being severely late and annoyed.
3. London's fast airport train (Heathrow Express) arrives in Paddington Station which is not convenient to my final destination in south London.
4. I believed that a motorcycle taxi service would offer a faster and more direct service to my destination as well as allow me to relax with fresh air after such a long intercontinental flight (California to UK).
I looked up Virgin's web site and decided to call their
main office to make sure that they had the service available. I was then
directed to another number which was the company that Virgin outsourced or
partnered with to offer the service.
The person who answered the phone was friendly and asked
when I was arriving/departing etc. The information on the web site was basic but
enough to answer any questions that someone might have. However when I told him
that I was coming in on a Saturday and likely leaving on a Sunday he told me
that he couldn't help me but his competition could.
This being slightly unusual I asked and he said that there
was one other company offering service and that they traded business when one
company or the other couldn't handle the work. Okay, now motorcyclists,
we're a friendly bunch but this goes beyond all compare.
Within 20 seconds he had me on the phone with his
'competition' and I had e-mailed them my flight info. We exchanged mobile
numbers and agreed where we would meet. As my flight was 2 hours delayed when I
landed I called Rob from PassengerBikes to let him know that I was on the
He told me that he was checking the flight delay and that
he would be at the airport in 30 minutes. Apparently I was talking to him while
he was inbound on the bike via a helmet intercom. Very slick and the
communication was clear. As I still had to collect my luggage, leave some of it
in baggage storage, and clear customs – this timeframe was perfect.
Almost to the second when I finished everything, Rob was at the designated meeting point fully geared up in proper riding gear holding his helmet. He told me the bike was right outside and asked if I was ready to go.
Photo - Rob and the BMW PassengerBike
I decided just to bring my briefcase and a small bag with a
change of clothes although I could have brought a much bigger suitcase as the
bike was a BMW R1100RT.
We walked right outside and I was happy to feel the fresh
air. After being on a plane for 20+ hours it was going to be great to be moving
on the back of a bike. I took a quick look at the taxi and bus lines and had a
nice laugh as those people prepared to move from one large metal container into

Within 3 minutes Rob gave me a helmet, jacket, gloves, and asked if I wanted a Gore-Tex blanket to cover my legs and lower torso. As it often rains in London they have this setup to be able to take people in any kind of weather. As I was wearing jeans and the weather was okay I opted just for the jacket. Rob strapped the briefcase to the back of the bike and put a bungee over it for safekeeping. The other bag disappeared in the right saddlebag and we talked for a minute about riding safety.

Once Rob was affirmed with my riding/passenger skills we
hooked up the intercom, mounted up and away we went past the long taxi and bus
lines. Filtering through the
congested Heathrow traffic we quickly made our way to the front of the line
where we were off as the light turned green.
Now, being a motorcycle rider and not used to being a
passenger, I was quite enjoying the ability of 'riding' without doing the
work. Especially after such a long flight with delays, screaming babies, etc. it
was amazing to be able to breathe in some fresh air and take in the London
In fact, looking back on the experience not only is the
motorcycle the fastest and best way to travel to and from London/Heathrow but is
has to be the most therapeutic as you don't have to deal with crowed subway
cars, blocked traffic, slow buses, or the rest of the modern marvels of the 21st
In about 45 minutes we arrived at my sister's house in Brixton. This meant that we had come from far western London's outreaches where Heathrow is, avoided central London (where the metro and Heathrow Express would have taken me), and had a great talk and ride along the way.

See the briefcase on the back. Side cases are also available for other bags.
Even though I've been to London many times for both work
and pleasure, I really was able to learn more about the city and sights from the
back of the motorcycle via this trip. I saw places and was able to better place
them into perspective much better than if I was in the back of a taxi.
If I wanted to look left or right I had an unobstructed
view. Fresh air, no problem just lift the face shield. Need to make a phone
call, Rob would patch me through or listen to the radio and lean against the
backrest to relax – all possible on the PassengerBike.
When planning my escape from London we had Rob meet us at a local market where my sister and I had brunch and did some shopping. We called Rob and told him to pull up right in front of the bench where we were sitting. We shared a coffee then loaded up the luggage and I got dressed in the riding gear. Time elapsed, 3 minutes then we were off and on our way back to the airport riding past Trafalgar Square and other sights all of which were easy to see and stop at using the motorcycle.
I arrived at the airport with plenty of time to spare. The
ride on the motorway was fast and fun, too bad I couldn't ride all the way to

A painting of a rabbi that was last on public display more than 60 years ago has been verified as the work of 17th century Dutch master Rembrandt.
The canvas, featuring an austere looking Jewish scholar, has been in the private collection at Woburn Abbey since the 1950s.
Known as "The Old Rabbi" it is in the artist's signature style, but until now it has not been officially accepted as his work. Rembrandt was known for depicting Jewish subjects in his work.
The discovery by Ernst van de Wetering, a Dutch art historian and Rembrandt expert, could add millions if the oil painting was ever put up for auction.
Mr van de Wetering, who visited Woburn Abbey to examine the painting last year, also stated his belief that it was one of a pair from 1643, the other being housed in Berlin.
The Berlin painting shows a young woman, and Mr van de Wetering has suggested they could be part of a sequence telling the biblical story of Ruth and her husband Boaz, as read by Jews on Shavuot.
"The Old Rabbi" will now go on public display at Woburn Abbey. Jonathan Irby, the site's general manager, described the painting as "an outstanding specimen of Rembrandt's art" that impressively depicted "dignity in old age".
"We are very excited about bringing this exquisite painting into the public eye," he said.

As I complete my term as chair of the Pediatric and Congenital Heart Disease Council, I wanted to highlight many of the activities of our council over the past two years. However, I first want to express my thanks to Leo Lopez, MD, FASE and Cathy Kerr for the wonderful jobs that they have done with our council. Leo will succeed me as chair and will provide amazing leadership and vision for us, and Cathy will continue to be instrumental as our council's liaison within ASE. I would also like to express my gratitude to Wyman Lai, MD, MPH, FASE for his many years of excellent leadership, most recently as past chair of our council. Wyman will continue his role as a strong advocate for our council on the ASE Board.
Joining our council in June will be several new council members. Meryl Cohen, MD, FASE has been selected as the chair-elect of our council and Carrie Altman, MD, FASE will serve as the Scientific Sessions co-chair for the 2014 meeting in Portland and will become the program chair for the pediatric sessions in Boston in 2015. Newly elected board members at large include Greg Ensing, MD, FASE from the University of Michigan; John Kovalchin, MD, FASE from Nationwide Childrens Hospital; and Becky Lindquist RDCS from Mayo Clinic. I would like to sincerely thank our council members who will be completing their terms this summer, including Piers Barker, MD, FASE, Mark Friedberg, MD, FASE, Luc Mertens, MD, PhD, FASE, and Joe Kreeger RDCS, RCCS, FASE.
I am looking forward to the ASE Scientific Sessions in June in Minneapolis and would like to congratulate our Pediatric Program Chair Luc Mertens and his Co-chair Andy Powell for organizing a tremendous and comprehensive program that will be both educational and entertaining. Special recognition is also very well deserved for this years Founders Award recipient, Jack Rychik, MD, FASE, for his truly remarkable contributions to the fields of echocardiography and perinatal cardiology over his continued distinguished career in pediatric cardiology.
I would also like to take the opportunity to highlight many of the recent important initiatives in our council. The Pediatric Z-Score Database Project, headed by Leo Lopez, Wyman Lai, Steve Colan and LuAnn Minich, aims to prospectively establish a database of common two-dimensional, M-mode, and Doppler echocardiographic measurements. Recently funded by the Pediatric Heart Network, this study will be performed in a normal population of children from multiple geographic areas and ethnicities. We believe that this project is foundational to ongoing research efforts in the field of pediatric cardiology both nationally and internationally. Our council has also been active in addressing and promoting quality in congenital echocardiography. Recent expert consensus statements from our council including the performance, interpretation, and training requirements of the neonatal echocardiogram in the intensive care setting and the quantification of ventricular performance in congenital heart disease have helped to establish and advance the quality benchmark in these areas.
Additional documents are under consideration to address optimal imaging standards and examination performance in other pediatric subspecialty areas with congenital and acquired heart disease. We have also been active in defining important quality initiatives with other societies, including the American College of Cardiology and the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC) in Echocardiography. In addition, our council, in concert with other societies, is playing an active role in the development of appropriate use criteria in echocardiography for the pediatric population.
The organization and productivity of the pediatric echocardiography laboratory is also an important area of interest within our field. Spearheaded by Wyman Lai, Vivek Alllada, Shubhika Srivastava, Peter Frommelt, and Meryl Cohen, this survey addresses many of the important areas of the echo lab including procedure types and volumes, sonographer and physician productivity, and factors that impact these volumes and productivity. Finally, the introduction and development of novel imaging modalities are keys to improving the diagnosis and management of patients with congenital and acquired heart disease. Three-dimensional echocardiography and deformational imaging in addition to cardiac magnetic resonance are just three examples of emerging technologies that will play an ever increasing role in our clinical management and research efforts. Our council continues to be proactive in developing standards for training and use of multimodality imaging in our patient cohort as well as fostering research efforts with these cutting edge technologies. These and other initiatives within our council are exceedingly important as we move forward clinically and academically within our field.
Again, thank you sincerely for the opportunity to chair your council within ASE. I anticipate that there is a very productive time ahead for our Pediatric and Congenital Heart Disease Council. Most importantly, there are many ways for you to get involved within our council and ASE. Please do not hesitate to let us know if you would like to participate in any of the educational, clinical, or research activities within ASE. We look forward to your continued active input and ideas as we move forward.

Ever since my taste buds fell in love with a rather delicious pumpkin shake at the WOW: Women of the world event (Please read: http://letsstalkfood.blogspot.in/2016/06/wow-what-evening.html), I have so been looking forward to catching up NIDHI BHALLA, the woman behind the vision turned successful reality BLEND!T.
Now I'll have made this clear right in the beginning. BLEND!T-Juice Bar, is no ordinary juice bar. We're leaving behind the same old juices and moving on to a totally new concept of fruit and vegetable concoctions. Good for your health and happy time for your taste buds! I kid you not!
To most people healthy eating means an immediate compromise on taste. This is where Blendit throws in a rather interesting twist! You get loads of nutrients power packed with a punch of yum! Take me for instance…even when I diet I do not want to give my taste buds on a one way ticket to snoresville. I want variety. I want good taste. At Blend!it you get an array of slurpalicious juices, smoothies, shakes, energy bars and shots that have you wishing every day was diet day! Their motto is "Health on the go" so even if you are a busy individual, you can make a little time to pick up your daily dose of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to go!
So we chat up right next to their colourful outlet in Carnival food court near Infopark.
There is an eye catching display of fresh fruits, veges and of course a couple of trays of the latest addition to their menu. "That's wheatgrass"explains Nidhi "We have introduced Health shots or shooter shots as we like to call it, as part of our menu. We have wheat grass, bittergourd, turmeric and others; each with their own special benefits. In fact, 30 ml of freshly squeezed wheatgrass juice gives you the health benefits of 1 kg of green leafy vegetables!"I vow to try out the shot asap!
To those of you who have their doubts about what wheatgrass is, it is nothing but the young grass of a wheat plant. It is extremely difficult to grow as it is quite prone to fungus attacks but in controlled temperature and moisture conditions, it can thrive very well. Blend!t has 100% home grown wheatgrass. "It was tough growing them in the beginning. We had to throw away five to six trays of spoilt crop initially. But now, we have got the hang of it" says Nidhi.
My favorite Pumpkin aka Ladoo shake |
A two month break from her hectic work schedule resulted in plans for this unique concept finally coming to brick and mortar. A post graduate in Tourism and Travel Management in IITM, work meant quite a lot of travel. Both Nidhi and her husband love to travel and explore new places, delve into their culture and experiment with their cooking concepts.
"Cooking is a passion and creativity is in my blood. The idea of a juice bar with unique concept was born a long time ago when my husband and I were travelling. We 've always had a passion towards bringing a new concept offering to Kochi and try something interesting" she shares.
Scores of analysis came to point out that for the kind of idea they had in mind, proximity to a large working crowd with busy schedules and disposable income would be their best choice of location. And thus, Carnival Food Court saw the launch of Blend!t's first outlet on 11th May 2016. Nidhi and her husband made sure that the interiors of the outlet were done up in bright colours and they have done justice to their project. When I entered the food court, that neon green just stole my attention!
Nidhi is an all in all Travel and Tourism professional. "Blend!t"she says "is my passion. It was an exciting process, setting up the outlet. There was a lot of experimentation. A lot of learning. Sometimes, my husband and I would skip dinner after trying out 6 or 7 large glasses of juice concoction experiments!"
With all this talk of health, of course the topic turns to how I can never get myself to diet and Nidhi offers a simple, yet effective solution. This is another brand new product offering added to their health bouquet: Detox Water.
Blend!t offers a weekly and monthly subscription of ready to drink detox water with whole fruits, veges and herbs in a green tea and/or water base prepared as per the needs of the customer. From weight loss to boosting immunity and increasing metabolism, each detox water comprises of unique ingredients, each with their own special nourishment to offer. "This does not mean you skip out on your meals" advices Nidhi "You need to have your detox water for a week at least and without pigging out on junk food replace it with healthy, nutritious foods that compliment the healing process of the detox water".
What I liked the best however was the "Blend your own" concept. Well, it means exactly what is says. If for some reason, you have something different in mind from all the products on the menu, just say it and it will be done! Your choice of fruits, veges and bases, all blitzed together to form a drink that screams "YOU"!
All the chit chat parched our throats and the ever wonderful host that Nidhi is springs into action. She orders up a number of special drinks. I make a special request. You guessed it…the pumpkin shake! I had to wait for my magic drink though because Nidhi approaches me with a shot glass filled to the brim with a drink that looks like it might turn me into the Incredible Hulk.
Wheatgrass shot |
It is bright green with a light foam on top in the palest green and I squirm with nervousness. "Freshly squeezed wheatgrass juice! Just chug it. Most people take it in sips but I would suggest you chug it like a shot" says Nidhi with a smile. I force myself to think of the power of 1 kg of green leafy vegetables and chug it. Now if you were a fan of eating grass as a child…you are going to love this. Yes, I did enjoy eating grass as a child and yes I loved the wheatgrass shot. It was light and sweet and had a pleasant grassy smell and taste without a bitter aftershock! It totally reminded me of my grass chewing days and of how Remy from Ratatouille squeezed juice from a blade of sweet grass onto his special mushroom! All that anxiety for nothing! I do recommend this shot!
We move onto the "Carrot Sin". For such a name, the drink looked innocently orange! Thick and luscious too I might add! The first slurp hits you square in the tongue with fresh carrot and then the carrot slowly dissipates into the smallest of nibbles from Cinnamon.
Carrot Sin |
This was quite an enjoyable drink. I wouldn't say no to it chilled or warm. On a rainy day, a steaming bowl of sin would work out fine for me!
And then I see my favourite drink approaching! The Pumpkin Shake. I just don't understand how a modest vegetable like the Pumpkin could taste like an ethnic DJ night! One sip and I get a mouthful of what surprisingly tastes just like BOONDI LADOO! I am telling you I close my eyes and it feels like I am sipping a glass of blitzed ladoo! This drink is undoubtedly my utmost favourite from the lot! Pat on the back Nidhi!
We taste an energy bar in between and I must say, the fantastic dance of flavours made me focus on the fun more than the actual tasting! I tasted a post work out energy bar. Nidhi suggests energy bars with oats and wheat base for pre work
Post work out energy bar |
out. This helps boost metabolism. Nuts are best post work out. The energy bar was nutilicious! I took a sip of carrot sin and then a bite of the bar and it tasted like brinjal!! A sip of ladoo…erm…I mean pumpkin and it tasted like bananas! The wonders of the human tongue I tell you! So much fun when it's confused!
We ended the evening on a light note with a Strawberry Mojito. I have to say pink is a weakness for me and this drink was so pretty! Candy pink strawberry syrup comprised the bottom layer and the sparkling soda the top. There were wedges of lime and a smattering of mint leaves. It was a refreshing sip of happy pink (yes, I can go on and on about that colour!). The only suggestion I had was to add in a few more lime wedges because I love the acidity of the lime cutting the sweetness of the syrup and more mint leaves that bruised rather than chopped. This releases the aromatic oils better and a fresh hit of mint of at the end leaves the mojito lover completely refreshed!
Pretty in Pink Strawberry Mojito |
I see a big future in store for Nidhi and Blend!t. Apart from expansion, she plans on introducing a medley of unique items ranging from fruit ice pops to fruit based snacks and several more blended juice concoctions. With Nidhi's ever active taste for unique concepts, there is a tea boutique in the pipeline. We can't wait for more from you Nidhi…in the meantime, I'll have another blitzed ladoo!

High Court Challenge to Abortion Clinic Safe Zones
For the past two days, the High Court has been hearing a case which challenges the legality of safe zones around abortion clinics. Two protestors who were charged with violating the zones – one from Victoria, the other from Tasmania – claim these zones violate their right to political communication under the Constitution.
But is this form of protesting an act of political communication? Or is it simply harassment?
To discuss the case before the High Court and what effect it may have across the country, Thursday Daily's Sam Baran was joined by Dr Tania Penovic, Deputy Director of the Castan Centre for Human Rights Law and Senior Lecturer in Law at Monash University.
You can read Dr Penovic's article at The Conversation.

Members of the staff at the Productive Dentist Academy joined the nonprofit organization Barnabas Task to bring dental care to Santiago in the Dominican Republic last October. It was the fourth trip for the Productive Dentist Academy and the thirteenth for Barnabas Task, which will continue their efforts with another mission scheduled for January 16 to January 25.
"Our goal is simple," said Victoria Peterson, CEO of the Productive Dentist Academy. "To make a positive impact on 20 million people in the world through awareness and service to others."
During the October mission, Peterson and the rest of the team tended to patients from New Hope Girls, an organization dedicated to breaking the cycles of abuse and exploitation of young girls in the Dominican Republic. They also served members of the general community, including adults and children.
"During our week of service, we helped 341 patients, but it wasn't about quantity. It was about quality—quality in our time with the patients, community, and our fellow team," said Regan Robertson, president and CMO of the Productive Dentist Academy, who also volunteered for the mission.
"One of our core tenets at PDA is doing good while doing good. As a business, we actively seek out opportunities to uplift our global community. We were fortunate to align with Tom Hinton and Barnabas Task to help realize our goal on an international scale," said Robertson.
Hinton, cofounder of Barnabas Task, says that volunteering and community service is a great way to make a difference in the world and to positively impact other people's lives. It was his nonprofit that was responsible for organizing the event and handling logistics.
"The hallmark of Barnabas Task is that we care for people. We spend time with people. We find out why they are here. We pray for them. We build long-term relationships with them so that our impact is felt after we leave, not just during our time with them in person," said Hinton.
"The volunteers of this mission demonstrated expertise, professionalism, and the ability to perform restorative care, extractions, and cleanings. But the significant mark they left in Santiago is that they loved people, cared for them, and built relationships," said Hinton.
Dr. Chad Johnson, a member of the faculty at the Productive Dentist Academy and a dentist with his own practice, also was one of the volunteers on the October mission. In addition to providing dental care, he and the other volunteers presented technology and advice to professionals in the Dominican Republic. Barnabas Task dental hygienist Nancy Mann also gave a presentation about whole body health and hygiene.
"The local dentists in the Dominican wanted to know more about the latest in technology. I was able to share with them advancements in pharmacology, laser dentistry, and implementing CBCT into implant surgical design," said Johnson.
"What excited them is that I also offered to bring my laser for demonstration the next time I am there in an effort to get them to work alongside Barnabas throughout the year at the free clinic, knowing that we would have more free technology available for them to try and use," said Johnson.
"I also gave them samples of compounded topical, and I left them sodium bicarbonate to buffer the anesthetic, which should be a big benefit in not only making patients more comfortable, but also making dentists more efficient," said Johnson.

Winter 1947: 'General Inference' and Discussion*
at 0600 on 10th February 1947
'A depression over Biscay is moving east and filling
up. The somewhat milder air over much of England and Wales will be replaced
by colder east winds from the continent. There will be a return to day
and night frost over much of England and Wales with occasional snow
locally. There will be periods of sleet or snow in North England and
Scotland with temperatures at or a little above freezing on low ground.
It will be mild in extreme Southwest England, with local rain. Fog in
many parts of England will clear from the East.' At 0600 hours-Over
the last 24 hours the occluded front (of the previous 2 days) has moved
northwards to lie E-W across Ireland, Northern England (and the Netherlands)
by midnight. The front marks the boundary between very cold air to the
north and milder conditions to the south. (See Wijke's post today 'Re:
[WR] Sunday 9th February 1947. More snow in the South'). By 0600 hours
the front is showing signs of retreat, particularly in the east, where
it is now aligned NW-SE from N.Yorks to the E.Norfolk coast. Most areas
are cloudy, the only exception being Skagen, N.Denmark. The lowest temperature
on the chart is 14°F (-10.0°c) in NW Germany. Over the British
Isles the warmest conditions are to the south of the front and most
stations in England and Wales report temperatures just above freezing.
The lowest temperature is 30°F (-1.1°C) at Gorleston (just east
of the front) and West Freugh (5.5 miles SE of Stranraer) and the highest
is Scilly, St. Mary's on 46°F (7.8°C). Comparing the 00 hours
and 06 hours data shows that temperatures are already falling back to
freezing or below in Norfolk and Lincolnshire as the colder air moves
in from the E. Most stations in England and Wales report fog, with rain
in the SW. Snow is reported from South and East Scotland, the Western
Isles, Northern Ireland and NW Germany. Gorleston looks fairly unpleasant
with wind Force 4, temperature below freezing and continuous moderate
drizzle. Precipitation in the previous 24 hours-two wet areas evident.
The South-West and South Wales with up to 13mm, Aberporth and Plymouth
(rain) and eastern areas, 12mm at Finningley and 11mm at Tynemouth (snow).
Overnight temperatures-coldest 27°F (-2.8°C) at Leeming (N.Yorks)
and warmest 44°F (6.7°C) at Scilly St. Mary's Previous day's
maxima-coldest 30°F (-1.1°C) at Manchester and Finningley, warmest
45°F (7.2°C) at Predannack (S.Cornwall), Scilly and Guernsey.
Snow cover and depth-still widespread snow cover away from Cornwall
and south-western Ireland. 'Thawing snow' is the order of the day in
southern areas however.The greatest depths of snow (0900) are 14"
at Acklington, 10" at Little Rissington and 9" at Finningley.

When it comes to tree care, your main aim will likely be aesthetic upkeep. As a focal point of many yards and landscaping projects, keeping your trees looking beautiful and shapely is certainly important.
Proper tree maintenance involves more than keeping up appearances. An unhealthy tree is an unsafe tree! If your tree's health is compromised, it can pose many risks. Identifying injuries to your trees is crucial.
Keep reading for tips and tricks for effective tree wound repair and prevention!
All About Tree Wounds
What Is a Tree Wound
A tree wound is an injury to the tree, typically located on the trunk, that breaks through the bark and cambium layer. In doing so, the tree's interior is exposed, leaving vital tissues open to the elements.
When those tissues, called the phloem and xylem, are ruptured, the tree cannot circulate nutrients correctly. Additionally, wounds to the wood leave it susceptible to insects, bacteria, fungi, small animals, and harsh weather, leading to further damage and eventually decay.
Chemicals in the exposed tissue draw certain pests, who will feed on the already damaged wood and bark. If the wound isn't adequately treated, either with or without help, depending on the severity of the wound, the decay will spread, eventually weakening the whole tree.
How to Identify a Tree Wound
Due to how trees address their wounds, it's easy to identify when it needs some tree wound repair. Ultimately, trees cannot heal their wounds fully; instead, they seal them. This naturally occurring tree wound repair process is compartmentalization.
To compartmentalize the wound, the tree will cover the wound with wound wood, sometimes referred to as a callus, as a boundary between the injured and healthy tissue. In turn, this isolates the wound and the potential decay that comes with it from the rest of the tree.
After compartmentalization, the wound wood releases certain chemical compounds to stop the spread of decay-causing bacteria. However, any decay that existed before the wound compartmentalized cannot be cured or reversed.
As such, the tree wound will stand out from the rest of the healthy wood on the tree. The area will be slightly discolored and look like a scar.
Tree Wound Causes
Unfortunately, considering all the long-term damage that tree wounds can do, trees are commonly injured by many different culprits.
Broken branches, scrapes, animals, insects, storms, fires, cars, construction equipment, and lawnmowers are just a few agents that create a need for tree wound repair.
Because of all the man-made threats, tree wound repair is necessary for urban settings much more often than in the wild. Minor injuries are usually easily treated by the tree itself. However, some may need a little help, especially more severe wounds.
But, just as there are many causes of tree wounds, there are many methods for tree wound repair and prevention.
Best Methods for Tree Wound Repair
Scribing is the simplest and most commonly used method for tree wound repair.
After a tree has suffered a minor injury, the surrounding bark and cambium layer are often left distorted and jagged. Not only does this look unappealing, but it can also damage the tree further and encourage the spread of rot, disease, and infestation.
To help repair this kind of tree wound, use a knife to remove dead and injured bark from the wound's perimeter. When scribing a tree wound, take care not to deepen the wound further or cut off any healthy wood.
Avoid creating sharp edges while cleaning up the wound; instead, try to create an elliptical shape around the injury. Removing the dead-weight wood will encourage faster self-repair, reduce the risk of rot, and allow calluses to form over the injury.
Concerning tree care, it's common to see pruning associated with fruit trees or berry bushes. This is because the pruning process encourages new growth, thus ensuring a more bountiful harvest in the coming season.
For tree wound repair, pruning works similarly. The wound wood needs to grow over the injury to seal it off and stop the spread of decay.
As such, it's crucial to ensure the tree isn't wasting energy on unnecessary, broken, or dead branches and instead focuses on the injury.
But, improper pruning can also create more damage, working against both you and the tree in the tree wound repair process. When you prune an injured tree, make clean cuts that keep the main branch collar intact.
The best practice is to prune the tree as soon after the injury as possible so it can begin to focus its healing energy entirely on the wound. If properly pruned, the wound should begin to seal much faster than if left to its own devices.
Cavity Filling
Sometimes, healed tree injuries leave deep holes in the wood called cavities. The knee-jerk reaction to seeing a big cavity in your tree is probably to fill it with a neutral substance, like dirt or cement.
However, aside from cosmetic concerns, there is not much evidence to support that this benefits the tree in healing itself or preventing decay. Potentially, it can keep the callus from forming unevenly. But cleaning out the cavity often results in more damage to the newly wounded wood.
If you choose to fill a cavity during the tree wound repair process, be extremely careful not to damage the new, vulnerable wood!
Tree Wound Dressing
Similar to the reaction to cavities, your instinct may tell you to cover or dress the tree wound to protect it from external threats and further damage. However, this has been proven actually to slow the natural healing process.
Oxygen is extremely important to tree wound repair. Dressing the wound will close it off to receive the proper aeration it needs to heal. A wound dressing can also trap water and fungi between itself and the open tissue, allowing the wound to fester and rot.
All in all, wound dressings not only fail to prevent the spread of decay, but they also hinder the tree wound repair process and escalate the problem.
The only exception is if the tree wound is caused by oak wilt disease. It's been observed that tree paint may stop the spread of that specific pathogen.
How to Keep Your Tree Healthy
Avoiding Tree Wounds
The greatest step you can take to avoid tree wound repair is to avoid tree wounds altogether. Easier said than done, of course. But, there are a few tricks you can take onboard to decrease the risk of tree wounds in your yard.
You can future-proof your yard and tree health by planting trees as far as possible from buildings, streets, power lines, fire hydrants, and driveways.
Another tip to help you avoid tree wound repair is to mulch the entire root spread area around your tree. Mulch can act as a forcefield for your tree. If the area doesn't grow grass, your lawn mower or weed whacker won't get close enough to cause injury.
But, the best preventative measure you can take to keep your trees safe is to improve the vigor of your trees.
Improving Overall Tree Health
It's a no-brainer that healthy trees will heal themselves much faster than weak ones in unfavorable conditions. It's important to provide your trees with a home in your yard that supports their growth and healing.
This calls for well-researched, well-drained, high-quality soil full of nutrients, adequate shade or sun, and measured fertilizer applications.
Tree Wound Repair: FAQ
Should I fill in or seal a tree wound?
On the whole, the answer to this question is no.
Some specific circumstances may call for manually sealing off or filling in a tree wound, such as the case of oak wilt disease. But in most situations, sealing or filling in a wound will only interfere with the natural tree wound repair.
How long does tree wound repair take?
Adult trees are slow growing and have lifespans that far exceed our own. As such, the length of time tree wound repair takes is proportionate.
The full external healing process can take up to 20 years. However, the chemical compartmentalization process works faster, averaging roughly three years.
Should I repair the tree wound myself?
If any part of the tree wound repair process makes you nervous or the wound is exceptionally severe, it's best to call a tree care professional to do the job.
Wrapping up the Guide on Tree Wound Repair
The ways in which nature can heal itself are astounding!
However, that doesn't mean our trees don't need a little help from time to time to ensure they're looking and feeling their best. With these steps, you can approach tree wound repair with knowledge and confidence.

Under Section 204 (of Title II, Division BB) of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (CAA), insurance companies and plan sponsors (employers) must submit information about prescription drugs and health care spending. This data submission is called the RxDC report. The Rx stands for Prescription Drug and the DC stands for Data Collection.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is collecting the RxDC report on behalf of the Departments of Health and Human Services, the Department of Labor, the Department of Treasury, and the Office of Personnel Management.
The insurance carriers will be developing a detailed instruction guide to support employers in creating and uploading the D1 file. The D1 file will include your annual premiums, average monthly enrollment, and average monthly premiums paid by enrolled members (employees plus dependents).
The CMS has also confirmed that they have improved the Health Insurance Oversite System (HIOS) registration process specifically applicable to RxDC Reporting, so that only one person needs to register and be approved to be able to submit the files in HIOS. Here is the link to the registration process: https://www.cms.gov/CCIIO/Resources/Forms-Reports-and-Other-Resources/Downloads/HIOS-Portal-Quick-Guide.pdf.
BFG is committed to assisting our client relationships. We are awaiting the release of the revised RxDC reporting instructions. We will communicate any important updates as they become available.
When is the deadline?
The deadline to submit your data for the 2022 reference year is June 1, 2023. The deadline for subsequent reference years is June 1st of the calendar year immediately following the reference year. A reference year is the calendar year of the data that is in your RxDC report.
Where can I get more information?
You can find more information about RxDC reporting on the CMS website at https://www.cms.gov/cciio/programs-and-initiatives/other-insurance-protections/prescription-drug-data-collection.
As always, please don't hesitate to reach out to your BFG Corporate Benefits Advisor if we can be of assistance.
