Muslim Family Adopts children of deceased Hindu Friend and Wants To Raise Them As Hindus
Amidst the hue and cry and political attempts to create disunity among Indians, there are instances that teach us that humanity is still alive, hatred is not the norm and tolerance is the only way ahead if we do not want to be lost in a cycle of violence.
Delhi high court praises a Muslim couple's effort to raise two Hindu orphans 'Ayush and Prarthana' and termed the effort to become their guardian a "noble endeavor."
"In a time when no one bothers to take care of orphans, we salute the efforts of Mohd Shahnawaz Zaheer though the couple is not benefited with anything", Said Justice Waziri.
HC recently appointed Mohd Shahnawaz Zaheer, a commercial pilot, as the guardian of the twins under the Hindu Minority & Guardianship Act. Justice Najmi Waziri also approved a Trust set up in the name of the siblings, where the Indian Commercial Pilots Association and other well-wishers have contributed over Rs 1 crore. By virtue, the entire estate and remaining wealth of the dead parents will automatically go to the Trust and not to the guardian.
Zaheer disclosed how the court has entrusted one Arun Saini, a willing neighbour, to make sure the children receive Hindu religious instructions and can visit temple for prayers. "I don't want them to ever convert. They will be raised as Hindus," he said.

It's ok to use wheels
I've had Multiple Sclerosis for ten years but until recently I started using my wheelchair. I've gone through both physical and occupational therapy to help me make the big adjustment, but I refused it and suffered many hard falls. When I started using the wheelchair, I felt like I had just given up on myself, but for the record- I've never felt more happy in my life.
Let them look at my wheels
It's safe to say whenever we as humans see something that's outside of our idea of normal, we stare. Whether it's someone with a Mohawk and stretched lobes, or a girl running with a prosthetic limb, we're going to look. Guess what? That's ok. I was extremely insecure about people staring at me in my wheelchair, and thought, "oh look at them judging me. They must think I look weird, or some sickly guy," but who the heck cares! I've done more in my chair than I ever could without it. I've gone to theme parks, plays, and I even started back at college IN MY CHAIR! Something I never would've done months ago. The key is to be comfortable with yourself. Forget about the people who want to stare or ask questions just focus on making your life better and happy; even if you've gotta cruise on four wheels. Nothing wrong with that.

On the morning of the 5th of February 1941 a young lad was combing a beach in South Uist. What caught his eye that day was not flotsam but a ship, just out at sea. The SS Politician was in trouble and beginning to list.
The Politician had been a busy cargo ship before the war but now the British navy used her to cross the Atlantic, trading with North America.
That February she was on her way to Kingston, Jamaica, and New Orleans, her hold filled with cotton, stoves, cutlery, medicines, baths and biscuits. But that was not all she was carrying.
Secured in hold number 5 were nearly three million pounds of Jamaican banknotes and 260,000 bottles of first class whisky.
As the whisky was for the American market no duty had been paid. The cargo was expected to sell for nearly half a million pounds.
The Politician had left Liverpool and made her way north, sailing past the Isle of Man, towards the Hebrides.
When the wind increased and the sea became rough Captain Beaconsfield Worthington plotted a new course that would take him past the Skerryvore Light, and then onto Barra Head Light before crossing the Minch.
It should have been an easy passage.
Just off Rosinish Point on the Isle of Eriskay sand banks hide beneath the water, invisible to the untutored eye. By 7:40am on the fifth of February the Politician was slightly off course.
The lookout watch saw land. Desperately trying to avert disaster the ship swung round away from the coastline, straight into the hidden sandbanks.
The fuel tanks were ruptured and the ship began to flood. After 20 minutes the engine room gave up its struggle, and the fires went out. In the confusion nobody knew where they were and the wrong location was given to the lifeboat crew from Barra.
At Rosinish Point the locals had begun to gather. They put out a sailing boat and reached the ship, offering what assistance they could. By late afternoon the lifeboat finally found the boat and took the crew to Barra for the night.
Once there Captain Worthington reported to the insurers that the ship was salvageable and was lying at the "most easterly point of Eriskay Island, South Uist, Outer Hebrides".
And it is here that the well-known story of the SS Politician really begins. Immortalised in the book Whisky Galore by Compton Mackenzie, and then in the Ealing comedy of the same name, the story was not about what happened to the boat, but what became of the cargo.
While the ship waited for the salvage crew, the locals did not. Individually, in groups, at night or during the day, islanders visited the Politician and few left empty handed.
Boats came from as far away as Lewis as news of the whisky travelled across the Hebrides.
No islander regarded it as stealing, for them the rules of salvage meant that once the bounty was in the sea, it was theirs to rescue.
This was not the view of the local customs officer. Charles McColl was incensed at the outright thievery that he saw going on.
None of the whisky had paid a penny of duty, and he riled against this loss to the public purse.
McColl whipped up a furore and made the police act. Villages were raided and crofts turned upside down.
Bottles were hidden, secreted, or simply drunk in order to hide the evidence.
McColl and the police caught plenty of locals red-handed, and they were sent to trial.
On 26 April at Lochmaddy Sheriff Court a group of men from Barra pled guilty to theft and were charged between three and five pounds.
McColl was beside himself at the leniency of the sentence, but the police were tired of the harassment of the locals who had not, in their minds done such a bad thing.
But McColl continued on his crusade, and more men did appear in court, some of whom were sentenced to up to six weeks imprisonment in Inverness.
At sea, the salvage attempts were not going well, and it was eventually decided to let the Politician remain where she was.
McColl, who had already estimated that the islanders had purloined 24,000 bottles of whisky, ensured that there would be no more temptation.
He applied for, and was granted, permission to explode her hull.
The islanders watched this extraordinary action their emotions summed up by one man Angus John Campbell who commented: "Dynamiting whisky. You wouldn't think there'd be men in the world so crazy as that!"
After that the SS Politician lay quietly at the bottom of the sea, visited only by divers. But her story was not quite over.
In 1987 Donald MacPhee, a local South Uist man found eight bottles of whisky in the wreck. He sold them at auction and walked off with 4,000. It seems that the people of Eriskay can still find "gold" and turn a tidy profit from the sea.

SYP Safeguard Young People in Eastern African countries
The SYP program contributes to improve sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) of young people, thus reducing gender based health inequities. It supports the adoption, domestication and implementation of policies, and strengthens young people's competencies on and access to SRHR services. The expansion to Tanzania and Rwanda leverages on the experience in Southern Africa financed by SDC, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA)'s thematic expertise and convening power.

Project number
|With estimated 22.6 million adolescents and young people aged 10 to 24 years living in Rwanda and Tanzania, addressing the many risks and vulnerabilities they face, in particular around sexual and reproductive health and rights, is critical for attaining the Demographic Dividend. Poverty, income and gender inequality expose young women and girls to unprotected sexual intercourse, increasing their risks of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, early and unintended pregnancies. Adolescent birth rates remain high (41 and 139 births per 1,000 women ages 15 to 19 for Rwanda and Tanzania respectively). Even if countries have legislations and policies on the management of pregnancy and re-entry to school for girls, they often appear punitive. On top of this, the COVID-19 pandemic has further disrupted access to essential sexual and reproductive health services, making existing inequalities for women and girls, young people and other marginalized groups, worse. New and proven strategies must be developed, implemented and scaled up to ensure continuation of, among others, sexual and reproductive health services and information for all and in particular for adolescents and young people, while addressing the pandemic. With its progressive position and being one of the few donors engaged on SRHR in countries, Switzerland can convey credible messages and advocacy in bilateral and global fora.
|By 2023, the health and wellbeing of adolescents and young people aged 10-24 in Tanzania and Rwanda are improved and maximised, with a special focus on girls and young women's sexual and reproductive health and rights.
|Target groups
Primary target group is all adolescents and young people (10-24) in Tanzania and Rwanda, with special focus on young women and girls (approx. 22.6 million people).
Secondary target group is change agents who are involved in youth programmes (lines ministries, regional economic communities, East African Legislative Assembly, teachers, young workers, service providers, youth peer educators, religious & local traditional leaders, media, youth leaders, policymakers, law enforcement agents, and parents).
|Medium-term outcomes
1. Strengthened enabling environment: Inclusive policies, legislations and accountability mechanisms promote and protect adolescents and youth's rights at regional, national and sub-national levels with a focus on sexual and reproductive health rights.
2. Strengthened demand through empowerment: Adolescents and young people have utilized knowledge and skills to make informed decisions and positive actions about their body, their life and their world.
3. Strengthened delivery: Equitable access to quality and youth-friendly sexual and reproductive health and rights, gender-based violence and HIV integrated service has increased.
Expected results:
-Strengthened capacity of regional and national institutions for a conducive legal and policy environment, including accountability mechanisms.
-Empowered adolescents and youth's serving institutions and networks advocate and effectively participate in international, regional and national decision-making and accountability mechanisms.
-Strengthened capacity of regional and national institutions to design and implement quality, evidence-based, and gender sensitive sexual and reproductive health & rights, gender based violence and HIV programmes for in and out of school youth.
-Strengthened capacity of institutions to deliver proven and tailored quality social behaviour change communication interventions to generate adolescents and young people's demand for integrated sexual and reproductive health & rights, gender based violence and HIV information and services.
Results from previous phases:
(from SYP implemented in Southern Africa)
-Several legal and policy instruments developed and utilized by countries (ex. Southern African Development Community model law on eradicating child marriage and protecting married children).
-12'843 youth network members trained in advocacy for sexual & reproductive health and rights, and youth development.
-57'802 teachers trained in comprehensive sexuality education.
-17'272'421 young people reached through comprehensive sexuality education programmes.
-9'476 pre-service and in-service providers trained in adolescent/youth friendly health services delivery.
-6'497'364 adolescents and young people reached with sexual & reproductive health and HIV services.

Ranitidine tablet
What is this medicine?
RANITIDINE is a type of antihistamine that blocks the release of stomach acid. It is used to treat stomach or intestinal ulcers. It can relieve ulcer pain and discomfort, and the heartburn from acid reflux.
What should I tell my health care provider before I take this medicine?
They need to know if you have any of these conditions:
- kidney disease
- liver disease
- phenylketonuria
- porphyria
- an unusual or allergic reaction to ranitidine, other medicines, foods, dyes, or preservatives
- pregnant or trying to get pregnant
- breast-feeding
How should I take this medicine?
Take this medicine by mouth with a glass of water. Follow the directions on the prescription label. If you only take this medicine once a day, take it at bedtime. Take your medicine at regular intervals. Do not take your medicine more often than directed. Do not stop taking except on your doctor's advice.
Talk to your pediatrician regarding the use of this medicine in children. Special care may be needed.
Overdosage: If you think you have taken too much of this medicine contact a poison control center or emergency room at once.
Note: This medicine is only for you. Do not share this medicine with others.
What if I miss a dose?
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you can. If it is almost time for your next dose, take only that dose. Do not take double or extra doses.
What may interact with this medicine?
- atazanavir
- delavirdine
- gefitinib
- glipizide
- ketoconazole
- midazolam
- procainamide

Tell your prescriber or health care professional about all other medicines you are taking, including non-prescription medicines, nutritional supplements, or herbal products. Also tell your prescriber or health care professional if you are a frequent user of drinks with caffeine or alcohol, if you smoke, or if you use illegal drugs. These may affect the way your medicine works. Check with your health care professional before stopping or starting any of your medicines.
What should I watch for while taking this medicine?
Tell your doctor or health care professional if your condition does not start to get better or gets worse. You may need to take this medicine for several days as prescribed before your symptoms get better. Finish the full course of tablets prescribed, even if you feel better.

Every NFL team enters the season with dreams of winning a Super Bowl. But before anyone gets too ring-crazy, a more straightforward endeavor beckons: winning a division title. For some, this objective is clearly challenging enough. Here is the team with the longest active division-title drought in each NFL neighborhood (dry-spell durations in parentheses):
AFC North:Cleveland Browns (21 seasons)
AFC South:Jacksonville Jaguars (14 seasons)
AFC East:Buffalo Bills (18 seasons)
AFC West:Oakland Raiders (11 seasons)
NFC North:Detroit Lions (20 seasons)
NFC South:Tampa Bay Buccaneers (six seasons)
NFC East:Dallas Cowboys (four seasons)
NFC West:St. Louis Rams (10 seasons)
Yes, you know where we're going with this debate ... You must choose one of the above teams to snap the drought in 2014 and win a division title. Who do you roll with?
- !
- Charley Casserly @CharleyCasserly
Detroit's potent offense inspires hope, but can the secondary hold up?
To me, given the teams listed above, it comes down to Detroit or Tampa Bay. And I'm going with the Lions over the Buccaneers because of Matthew Stafford.
Detroit has all of the pieces in place to have a top-ranked offense, including a quarterback who's averaged 4,885 passing yards over the past three seasons. The Lions boast weapons at every offensive position, which makes them very tough to defend. On the other side of the ball, the defensive line has the potential to be stout. The secondary is this team's weakness, especially the cornerback position. I don't consider Detroit to be the division favorite, but in the context of this question, the Lions stand out.
Meanwhile, Tampa Bay should have a strong defense. If the Bucs get improved O-line play and better-than-solid quarterbacking, they could win their division. While Josh McCown is the current starter at QB, I'd keep an eye on Mike Glennon to see how he progresses in the preseason. The second-year man got off to a nice start in the preseason opener, completing 11 of his 19 passes for 140 yards and a touchdown.

Bills have the pieces to end Patriots' AFC East reign
Several of the teams here will be improved ... but, of course, that's not the question. The Lions, Jags, Bucs and Rams are all on the upswing, but none will threaten for divisional supremacy.
The Bills, on the other hand, have a legitimate shot at the AFC East title in 2014. I recognize Tom Brady's gang tends to have the division wrapped up by the time Halloween arrives each year, but Buffalo's defense looks scary enough to at least delay the (seemingly) inevitable this time around. For all the New England QB's virtues, Mr. Bündchen has a significant kryptonite: He becomes quite mortal when defenders join him in the pocket. As it happens, the Bills' front four (with talented former first-rounders Mario Williams, Marcell Dareus and Jerry Hughes, plus human forklift Kyle Williams) excels at getting in the offensive backfield.
More heralded is the bounty of offensive playmakers the Bills have. Bill Belichick and Rex Ryan have gotta be envious of/nervous about what Buffalo will run out this year. If EJ Manuel can just do a good (enough) job of getting the ball in the hands of Messrs. Watkins, Spiller, Woods, Jackson & Williams ... look out.

With offseason reinforcements, Lions cannot be overlooked
The Lions make the most sense to me because I can't envision a scenario in which the Cowboys overcome their league-worst defense. The rest of the teams, including the Rams, have major question marks at quarterback.
Although the Packers deserve to be heavy favorites to repeat as NFC North champions, all bets are off if Aaron Rodgers misses multiple games with an injury again. After spending the majority of last season with an overmatched Kris Durham as the No. 2 option the passing game, the Lions have added reliable Golden Tate and athletic rookie tight end Eric Ebron to a suddenly dangerous aerial attack. Throw in a solid offensive line and a three-headed backfield, and this offense has top-five potential.

Browns have a chance with Mike Pettine directing vicious D
Since I must choose one ...
I choose Cleveland! Yes, Cleveland! (Not that I'm making the Browns my official AFC North pick, but there's a chance!!)
I think Cleveland goes 8-8 this year with a fantastic defense under new coach Mike Pettine. (For my expanded thoughts on said defense, click here.) The Browns significantly improved the run game with the offseason additions of Ben Tate (free agency) and Terrance West (draft). And lastly, I'm a big fan of Johnny Manziel in Kyle Shanahan's offense.

If Jim Caldwell can tidy things up in Detroit, watch out
The Detroit Lions are the team that I would roll with in this debate. Jim Caldwell inherited a playoff-ready team with the talent to knock off heavyweights in the NFL. Matthew Stafford, Reggie Bush and Calvin Johnson comprise an explosive threesome that spearheads a potent offensive attack. If Stafford can cut down on the turnovers and get timely contributions from Golden Tate, Eric Ebron and Joique Bell, the Lions can score 30-plus points a game in spectacular fashion.
On defense, the Lions simply need their vaunted D-line to live up to the hype. Ndamukong Suh, Nick Fairley and Ziggy Ansah are capable of wreaking havoc at the point of attack, creating turnover chances for what could be an opportunistic secondary.
If Caldwell can get the Lions to avoid the silly penalties that plagued the team under his predecessor, he could have Detroit wearing the NFC North crown at season's end.

@TrevorDickWhile I'm sure people appreciate your writeup concerning the Hyperion annual meeting, I must say that people are more likely hoping that Hyperion will review their own annual meeting for their fans...if progress and plans were discussed...of course.#6

Let me start by saying, HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!!!
Photo by NordWood Themes on Unsplash
Wow! What a year! When I started this little blog, I had no idea the places it would take me. It launched my career as a Content Creator and even furthered it into Content Management.
This past year had so many hidden blessings that I never saw in the moment but when I reflect back, I think to myself, God knows exactly what He's doing.
When I tell people that for 11 years, I was a dental assistant, I almost don't believe it myself. That seems like a lifetime ago.
I am so glad and blessed to have found my passion and a way for me to work from home, be with my family and still do what I love. The good Lord certainly is great.
I thought it would be nice to completely say goodbye to 2017 but before I do, I would like to take a look back at some of the fan favorite posts and share some highlights from throughout the year.
2017 started out so well for me! Early in the year, we started our house hunt to purchase our very first home and was blessed to find one right before the market really started to boom!
We got our home for $4,000 under asking which was very rare for what was going on in the market at that time!
This was probably the greatest highlight of the year!
I also learned that support is a very valuable thing to have in the world, as I managed, with the help of all my fans, followers, friends and family to be chosen as a Ryobi North Brand Ambassador for Canada.
Being able to work with this amazing company has been a dream and I can't wait to see what 2018 has in store for me in this role.
We expanded our family by one furry four-legged friend.
This little rambunctious bundle of joy has been a source of laughter, joy and I'm not even going to lie, a little bit of headache and stress — but the good times and loving cuddles she shares, not to mention the smiles she has put on my kid's faces makes it all worth it.
In October, I was presented with an opportunity to leave my job at Diply and work from home for a company in California. This is was a magnificent opportunity and one that I feel has completely changed my life — for the better.
Not only do I get to continue to do what I love, I am in a management role that allows me more freedom and time to spend with my family all while still earning a paycheck.
As I am settling into this new position and life, I am hoping that this will allow me more time to dedicate to my blog and get to a point where I am posting more frequently and making By The Stand a place where my fans and followers can't wait to come and see what I am up to!
Speaking of By The Stand! Let's see what this past year looked like here!
I have gone through stats, comments and pulled out 10 posts from the past year that were fan favorites!
Take a look and I have included the links here in this post if you want to relive the magic and check them out again!
#10 – Makeup Vanity Makeover with Country Chic Paint
#9 – Dollar Store Terra Cotta Pots to Chic Farmhouse Style Decor
#8 – DIY Bow Tie From Grandpa's Neck Tie
#7 – My Fireplace Makeover That Cost Me Next To Nothing
#6 – My Piano Makeover
#5 – From Door Trim To Shelves
#4 – DIY Flower Fabric Pillow
#3 – We Added A New Member To Our Crazy Fam! (aka – Zoey's DIY pet bed)
#2 – DIY Stoplight Nightlight
And without further ado … The post that was the most popular this year, coming in at #1 is my table makeover!
This was a huge makeover and I am so glad that so many people loved this post. We took 10 inches out of the middle of our table so that it would fit in our space, put it back together and then gave it a fresh new look!
#1 – Time For A Table Makeover
So there you have it! The top 10 posts from 2017.
So farewell 2017, I bid thee well and onto the new chapter of my life and a new chapter for By The Stand!
All the best to you all for this New Year and I hope that you will continue on with me on my journey to share my passion for DIY with the world!

So Nora's house was completely packed with junk on "Hoarders: Family Secrets" Thursday night. (Video via Lifetime / "Hoarders: Family Secrets")
Mounds of garbage and unused items flooded every single corner of her house.
Well, almost every corner.
"So this room is special," said Dr. Michael Tompkins on "Hoarders: Family Secrets."
"It is very special to me, yes," said Nora.
"Would you like to make new, special memories with the people you love?" said Michael.
"Yes," said Nora.
Nora's son died more than 30 years ago, and Dr. Tompkins said she was filling the empty space in her heart with things.
And while those things may have helped fill her heart, they was hurting her health. The house was so filthy, Nora developed a respiratory infection.
"I can't believe this is my sister who comes down and visits me all the time and she was living like this," said Virlee.
And fans on Twitter couldn't believe it either. Many were shocked to see just how much stuff she had accumulated.
Nora struggled at first to part with all of it. But when she learned it would be donated to homeless families, she started letting go a little more easily.
In the end, she donated almost 75 boxes of stuff. And she's probably happy she did.
Nora's home looked completely transformed once the cleaning crews were finished. And we hope she can keep it that way.

Christopher Woolard, Executive Director of Strategy and Competition at the FCA, recently spoke about the FCA's thoughts on how it approaches the future of regulation. He commented that the FCA will be issuing an 'open invitation' for views on this subject.
In particular, he proposed that gearing up to answer this question involved five key steps for the regulator:
- clearly stating what outcomes the FCA wants to see in markets;
- using everything available in the existing regulatory toolkit;
- working with other agencies;
- looking again at what the FCA requires of firms; and
- focusing on the use of technology, and opportunities to bridge the information asymmetry between customers and providers.

Use a wet cloth or towel to wipe your face
If you are coming back from a Holi Party which is quite far away from your home then your first step should be try wiping your face with a wet cloth or towel to remove the color from your face and skin before it dries up and gets all absorbed.
If possible, first shove off the color from your face with the help of your hands and then wash it.
Get rid of all the colors with your hands first, please do not let the colors sit on your face for a longer period of time.
Apply coconut or Olive oil on your skin to create a protective layer

You can also use the Milk and Besan paste to ward off the color.

Do not go for any facial treatment at least for a week.
No matter how much you feel your face has suffered, please do get any treatment or threading etc done for atleast a week.

You can buy the magical Multani Mitti from Amazon and use it on your skin to get rid of all sorts of color and dirt. It is priced at Rs.150 for a pack of 4.
Apply foundation on face, before playing Holi if possible as it will help in preventing the skin from getting furthermore dry and flaky.

When it comes to social media marketing, using hashtags is a must if you want to increase your chances of having your posts found outside your existing network to be seen by a wider audience.
Introduced in Twitter in 2007 as a way of tagging and grouping tweets, the famous hash (pound) symbol has made its way into almost all major social media channels. The word hashtag became so popular in 2009-2010 that it was even added to the Oxford Dictionary.
Adding a hashtag or two in posts is easy – just add a "#" before a word or multiple words (no spaces) and it will turn into a hashtag. But choosing the RIGHT hashtag to market your brand can be a little tricky. Many small business owners and their webmasters and internal marketing teams are still confused by how to effectively use hashtags to market their brand, so we put together some tips on how to get the most out of hashtags.
What is a #hashtags?
According to the Oxford Dictionary, a hashtag (on social media sites such as Twitter) is a word or phrase preceded by a hash or pound sign (#) and used to identify messages on a specific topic. When you add a hashtag in your post you are basically categorizing it, enabling it to be found and followed by users.
Take Twitter as an example: people often use the hashtag #quoteoftheday whenever they tweet a quote. Then there's #ThrowbackThurday (or #tbt in Facebook and Instagram), a weekly meme that encourages people to post their old photos. When other users click on these hashtags they are brought to a page with a list of all public tweets/posts that used this same hashtag.
Why Use Hashtags?
The hashtag is a powerful tool if you are marketing your products and services via social media. When used wisely hashtags can effectively expand your audience reach, especially if you are fairly new to social media and people are still not widely aware of your business's social media presence. Hastags also encourage engagement with both your loyal customers and new ones. For many brands, hashtags have been used to create buzz around their products, events and promotions.
Ways to Use Hashtags
Promote your business using a hashtag that is unique to your brand. This can either be a hashtag that has your business name, name of your products or maybe your signature tagline. One you have a business specific hashtag, make sure to use it regularly across all your social channels so people will know and use this hashtag when they want to share something related to your brand.
Use hashtags for social promotions, contests and giveaways. If are running a contest over social networks, creating a hashtag associated with it will make it easy for you to monitor and track engagement. Here are a few example of successful hashtag campaigns.
Include already-trending hashtags in your post to widen your audience reach. Another way to use hashtags is to add already-trending hashtags to your post. Of course, you need to make sure you're a posting something relevant and related to the hashtag to avoid any negative reaction from users who are using this same hashtag. Here's what you need to know if you're planning to ride into the trend.
Check out this post from Search Engine Watch to find out more brilliant ways to use hashtags.
Things to remember when deciding on a hashtag
A few basic guidelines to remember when creating a hashtag:
- Keep it short. It's okay to string multiple words in your hashtag but keep it short to encourage people to use it in their own posts. This is especially important for platforms like Twitter that only allow a few character per post.
- Make it unique and memorable. This is especially important when you are using a hashtag to promote your brand, an ongoing event or specific campaign.
- Narrow down your focus keyword. Make conversation around your hashtag more meaningful and relevant to your target audience and avoid off-topic conversations by trying to focus on a specific keyword phrase.
- Research, research, research! Once you have a hashtag in mind for your brand or campaign, make sure to look it up online and see if it's already being used and how. If you are just going for content hashtags (keywords that you wish to hashtag), doing some research will help you find other similar hashtags that you can use. You can research hashtags from each individual social channel or you use one of these hashtag research tools.
Hashtags are no longer just a way of categorizing social posts and conversations. Every day, marketers are finding new ways to use hashtags to get their brands out to larger audiences and encourage them to help them spread the word.
What about you? How are you using hashtags?

The silly season has officially come to an end. You have, hopefully, over-indulged and spent time in the sun with family and friends. You may be feeling sluggish now that all the wine and cheese boards have settled.
Whether you're recovering from a big holiday season or you know 2019 is the year you want to regain your health — it's time to focus on your gut.
How do you know if you have an unhealthy gut?
As all good health starts with your gut, it's not difficult to tell when you're in need of a change of diet and lifestyle. Some in-your-face signs that you might have an unhealthy gut and may need to rethink your health are:
- Digestive issues (bloating, diarrhoea, etc.)
- Food allergies
- Mood disorders (anxiety, depression)
- Skin problems, such as eczema or psoriasis
- Autoimmune diseases
And that's just to name a few. Generally, if you're feeling pretty crappy, the key to unlocking good health will somehow be attributed to how we nourish our mind and body (meaning: fix that gut!).
As always, consult a doctor or a nutritionist before taking on any new diets or lifestyle changes.
What to do about an unhealthy gut
Beware of inflammatory foods
You may not be aware of it, but a whole lot of the foods you eat can cause bad health in your entire body (not just the gut). It's pretty obvious to the average (healthy) person that after a big meal or a few days on holiday, the bad food and the alcohol tend to creep up on you. This doesn't mean that you have to avoid the foods you love altogether, it does mean, however, that you can reduce your intake of the inflammatory foods (such as sugar, fried foods, dairy, etc.) that are 'feeding' the bad bacteria in your gut.
Eat your greens
As adults, we don't have to hear this one twice. Or do we? Regularly catch yourself pushing the broccoli to the side of the plate whilst you mop up the mashed potato? It may be time for a green intervention. Reintroduce leafy greens and vegetables into your diet in new and interesting ways to counteract any issues related to your gut and overall health.
Focus on fibre
We're always being told to eat more fibre. Even the sliced bread ads on TV are telling you how important it is. But why? Don't be afraid of fibre, as these 'carbs' — yes, they're a carbohydrate — are essential to creating a healthy gut and absorbing any glucose and fats in the small intestine. Eat Balanced notes that the benefits of focusing on fibre can lead to better colon health (yay!), speedier bowel movements to remove waste and toxins from the body, and as a result, a reduction in the risk of developing cancer. So there you have it, we'll say it again. Eat more fibre!
Get your probiotic on
Give your gut the boost it needs with probiotics. This is essentially the answer to many gastrointestinal issues or general health problems you may be experiencing related to the gut. To maintain (and improve) your gut health, a probiotic supplement can boost your immune system and get you back to feeling tip-top. Many fermented foods naturally contain probiotics and fight gut infection, such as yoghurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, kombucha, etc. And, by consuming them, you can positively impact your wellbeing.
Cut down on alcohol
We may need a trigger warning for this one. A wine after work may seem like the answer to all life's problems, but it can be doing crazy things to your gut health, which in turn, will impact your overall health. In a recent study, researchers found that alcohol can influence gut microbiota, which means your intestines will suffer and you can potentially develop leaky gut syndrome. So if you're feeling a little bit funny in the tummy and you're dealing with digestive issues that you don't even want to talk about with your partner (ew!), take some time away from the booze and opt for sparkling water, fresh juices and smoothies instead.
By following these simple tips, your gut (and mind and body) will thank you for it. Get rid of those nasty digestive problems, clear up your skin, and be an all-around happier human to be around with the help of a healthy gut.
Tried any of these tips? We'd love to hear how focusing on your gut has impacted your wellbeing. Leave a comment below and tell us how!

Researchers discover previously unknown transitional stem cell.
Pre-eclampsia is a disease that affects 5 to 8 percent of pregnancies in America. Complications from this disease can lead to emergency cesarean sections early in pregnancies to save the lives of the infants and mothers. Scientists believe pre-eclampsia is caused by a number of factors, including shallow placentas that are insufficiently associated with maternal blood vessels. Now, researchers from the University of Missouri, in … Continue reading Researchers discover previously unknown transitional stem cell.

ASIA HUNDREDS is a series of interviews and conference presentations by professionals with whom the Japan Foundation Asia Center works through its many cultural projects.
By sharing the words of key figures in the arts and cultures in both English and Japanese and archiving the "present" moments of Asia, we hope to further generate cultural exchange within and among the regions.
Drama School in Thrissur
Tadashi Uchino (hereinafter Uchino): Let us start from speaking a little bit about where you're from. That is, you are from Kerala in India. The readers, however, perhaps have only a vague idea of what Kerala is, or for that matter, what India is. I'm sure they know where India is geographically, but the multicultural context of India is not necessarily well known. Can you tell me a little bit about that, where you are from and how you got involved in theater?
Sankar Venkateswaran (hereinafter Sankar): India is very diverse in terms of culture and I come from Kerala, which is in the southwest of India. Historically, it has been distinctly different from the rest of the country. It has had, for example, very strong cultural connections with the Arab world. It has had Christianity as well as Judaism from 1st century CE, there are Cochin Jews, plus the various cultural entities coexist in Kerala side by side. I come from the city called Calicut, which is also the place which marked the beginning of the European imperialism in Asia – Vasco da Gama arrived and landed in Calicut. That's my native place.
Uchino: How big is the city?
Sankar: The population is about 5.5 lakh (550,000).
Uchino: Okay. Go on.
Sankar: My father being a bank manager, I had to shift every 3 years, and I had to change schools. There was always the sense of displacement. I don't have much associations or connections from my childhood. And, I ended up in Calicut itself for my graduation, my degree, and my subject was physics because I was very interested in astrophysics. But to my disappointment, in my 3-year course in physics, there was only one chapter, one lesson, on astrophysics. The rest was all uninteresting for me like optics and thermodynamics and nuclear physics. So, I found myself spending more and more time in the theater club. And then slowly it became my primary interest. So, I stopped attending classes, and I spent all my time watching rehearsals, rehearsing, writing plays, directing, and up to a point where I could not fulfill my requirements for attending the exams. So, I was expelled from my college.
Uchino: What is the language in Calicut?
Sankar: The language is Malayalam but we did theater in Malayalam, English, and Hindi. There are these university competitions where English and Malayalam are more prominent.
Uchino: And, where are they from and what are they doing? I mean are they doing the modern western plays or the more traditional?
Sankar: Usually, we write our own plays and make our own plays. And, maybe some one-act plays from Chekhov. These were the starting points.
Uchino: And you said you were expelled from school and after that?
Sankar: There is a drama school in Thrissur where they offer a formal degree in theatre. I couldn't just be doing theatre in this amateur context. I had to convince my parents with something more formal and structured as a part of a university program.
Uchino: When you started making theatre, were you acting or directing or were you writing? Or were you doing everything?
Sankar: Almost everything except for acting, including pulling the curtains, carrying things yeah all of that.
Uchino: Of course!
Sankar: I was most interested in directing.
Uchino: And, you went to the drama school in Thrissur. What did you learn there?
Sankar: Yes, there was a theater department. Calicut University has this – not the main campus but they have this small campus in Thrissur where they have an Economics Department and a Theater Department.
It was a 6-semester course, so starting with ancient Indian Sanskrit drama, then European theater, then Malayalam theater, then modern western theater and so on.
Uchino: Was it more of the academic stuff rather than...
Sankar: As well as practical.
We had to mount productions, three diploma productions, and also we got to work with teachers like Abhilash Pillai*1 there and one of his production was invited by the Japan foundation, Saketam. I was part of that.
*1 Abhilash Pillai is an Indian theater director, originally from Kerala in South India. Having studied directing and stage design at the National School of Drama (NSD) in Delhi and RADA in London, he now teaches at NSD.
Uchino: The production itself was invited to Tokyo, in 2001, right?
Sankar: Yes. Tokyo and Fukuoka.
Uchino: I didn't see it but I saw that video. I remember it was a very powerful production. And you completed three-year undergraduate course. And after that?

For relief of constipation, bowel cleansing before X-Ray, and endoscopic examination.
Remove orange protective shield from enema Comfortip before inserting. With steady pressure, gently insert enema tip into rectum with a slight side-to-side movement, with tip pointing toward navel. Insertion may be easier if person receiving enema bears down, as if having a bowel movement. This helps relax muscles around the anus. Do not force the enema tip into rectum as this can cause injury. Squeeze bottle until nearly all liquid is gone. It is not neccesary to empty the bottle completely, as it contains more liquid than needed. Remove Comfortip from rectum and maintain position until urge to evacuate is strong (usually 2 to 5 minutes).
Active Ingredients: Bisacodyl.
Frequent or prolonged use of any laxative may result in dependence. Do not use when nausea, vomiting or abdominal pain is present. If use results in unusual pain or other side effects, contact a physician. Keep this and all medication out of reach of children.

A total of 563 patients at a Hoddesdon dentist surgery have been told they could be at risk of HIV after a hygienist allegedly failed to follow "strict decontamination protocols".
Public Health England, NHS England and NHS Improvement have been investigating concerns raised by Dentality @ Hoddesdon regarding potential breaches of infection control procedures by an individual dental hygienist, who no longer works at the practice.
A letter, shared on social media, from principle dentist and clinical director Dr Vishaal Shah explains he was "deeply concerned" to discover a team member may not have followed Dentality's "strict decontamination protocols".
The independently contracted hygienist based at the practice on Conduit Lane was immediately dismissed following investigation.
The potential breach of standards were immediately reported to the appropriate authorities.
After an assessment of the potential risk to patients, PHE, working with the local NHS and the dental practice, identified 563 patients understood to have received dental ultrasonic scaling, a cleaning procedure, during their treatment from the hygienist.
While there is an "extremely low risk", patients could have been exposed to blood-borne virus Hepatitis B or C and HIV as a result of the equipment, which may not have been cleaned adequately.
Dr Shah added: "We put our patients first.
"In November we became aware of behaviour from a hygienist that did not meet the rigorous standards we expect from our team.
"We immediately launched a full investigation, and have escalated the matter to all key authorities.
"We have continued working closely with them to ensure that patients are protected.
"We understand anyone receiving these letters will have real concerns.
"While there is an extremely low risk of exposure, all these patients are being offered detailed information, and a dedicated number to call to book an appointment for blood testing and get further advice."
British Dental Association chairman Mick Armstrong said: "We understand the practice took decisive action when issues first emerged, reported the case and has been working closely with all the relevant authorities.
"Clinical experts from Public Health England have established there is an extremely low risk of exposure.
"Clearly any patients involved will require reassurance, and authorities are offering blood tests as a sensible precaution."
A letter addressed to patients from PHE states there are no concerns regarding the treatment provided by any other team members in the practice.
The procedure the practice uses to clean and decontaminate its equipment has also been reviewed by PHE, which is satisfied it meets the required standards.
A dedicated telephone line has been set up for patients to access further information and book a blood test if they wish to do so.
Deputy director health protection for PHE East, Dr Jorg Hoffmann, said: "I would like to emphasise that the risk of contracting Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C or HIV is extremely low and that testing is being offered as a precautionary measure.
"We know patients will be anxious about this situation and they will be supported by the NHS and PHE throughout.
"Effective treatments are available for all blood-borne viruses, which is why it was important to identify anyone who may have been put at risk of infection so testing and treatment can be offered."
Dr Dave Briggs, deputy medical director for NHS England and NHS Improvement East of England, added: "On behalf of the Local Health Resilience Partnership, we have worked with PHE, health organisations and the dental practice to ensure the patients can access the information they need to make an informed choice and to have a blood test should they choose to do so."

In this week's interview David Holdstock tells us more about his work in the Corporate Communications team at the London Borough of Hillingdon.
As a member of the council's corporate management team, David heads a team that provides the professional lead on reputation management, public relations, internal communications, publications, marketing, design, consultation and e-communications.
David's team is currently the Good Communications awards PR team of the year and council of the year.
What's your current job and what does it involve? What are you responsible for?
The day job is Head of Corporate Communications at the London Borough of Hillingdon. I am responsible for the strategic management of the council's communications and engagement with staff and residents.
I am also national chair of LGCOMMUNICATIONS, the professional body for council communicators aimed at raising the standard of council communications.
How did you end up doing this role?
I previously worked in all the communications teams at the Metropolitan Police Service and as head of communications at Slough Borough Council. I got into communications by starting in the internal communications and parliamentary briefing unit at New Scotland Yard and developing my skills from there.
Can you tell us about a project or campaign you've worked on that you're really proud of?
The UK's first anti-terrorism awareness campaign. Following the Docklands bomb in 1996, we launched a year-long campaign aimed at raising awareness and protecting people across the UK. The results were very successful and I am sure helped to save lives – no better measurement than that.
Tell us a bit more about Hillingdon – what are the council's priorities for the area?
Our priorities, I guess like most councils are those which our residents put at the top of their list – the environment and community safety. We also have initiatives aimed specifically at our older and younger residents.
What do you think is the biggest challenge facing local government communications today?
The current economic climate is very challenging but a real opportunity for councils to demonstrate their community leadership role and how we are delivering high quality value for money services.
How is the new comprehensive area assessment (CAA) process changing the way your council communicates?
We are now working much more closely with communications colleagues from our partners – police, health, university, college and voluntary sector. It's in all our interests to communicate effectively as a partnership.
How is the growth of social media affecting your job/team?
It's actually quite an exciting time – we are trying to embrace new media to support the way we communicate with our residents.
What advice would you have for a young PR professional wanting to work in public sector communications?
Enthusiasm is everything – get as much experience as you can, volunteer for everything as it will be you adding to your CV and not someone else.
Is there anything else you'd like to add?
Working in public sector communications is something I would recommend to all PR professionals – try it and you never know, you might just stay.
Next week it's the turn of John Shewell from Brighton & Hove City Council to tell us more about his role – I'm particularly looking forward to this as Brighton & Hove is a unitary council that's very similar to Medway in terms of population size and whose communications and branding I always admire when we're visiting Brighton.

Who we are
Why us?
We recognise that yoga is a popular pursuit in Hong Kong. People seek it out for its health benefits and often incorporate it into their active lifestyles. However, yoga instruction is not equal among the various yoga centres in Hong Kong. This is where our accredited Teacher Training Courses make all the difference. Our courses are accredited by, and offered in conjunction with, Asana Andiappan College of Yoga and Research Centre in India. This is the first time outside of India that such a programme is being offered. Our classes are designed and taught in the same way as our instructors are taught. Predominantly from India, our instructors are fully learned not only in the practice of their discipline, but also in the history and philosophy behind the practice. The resulting combination of grassroots knowledge both practical and theoretical in our programmes gives students more in-depth learning than they may be able to find elsewhere in Hong Kong.
About the course
Yoga therapy may be worlds apart, but through this specially-designed course, participants will be given a good introduction to the two sciences as well as a solid foundation on which to build their knowledge. The course is a good starting point for those interested in learning more about these two subjects. Explore the principles of yoga therapy and Ayurveda and their various applications in our daily lives. Understand the body, its functions and how to address common ailments through various yogic practice and Ayurvedic diet principles.

About Yoga Therapy
Yoga has always traditionally been taught on an individual level, with tailor-made sessions designed to address unique and specific ailments and diseases – a practice that cannot be implemented in classes with massive groups. A therapeutic approach to yoga, thus, is the best way to start with the practice. The following points fall within the concept of yoga therapy:
- Designing tailor-made yogic practices according to the individual's body type and lifestyle
- Effectively addressing and treating an individual's physical and mental ailments through such tailored practices
- Planning a nutritious yogic diet programme, making lifestyle changes and treating addictions through yogic mindful living and meditative practices
- Understanding and applying the practices and philosophy of yoga in our daily lives, as well as advocating their therapeutic benefits to family and friends
- Being in connection with nature's five elements, adopting a healthy and environmentally-conscious lifestyle and truly understanding our responsibility as human beings on all levels and stages

Members of the Kingswood community in South Gloucestershire have raised over £10,000 for two charities after completing an eight-hour cycling challenge.
Over 40 people turned up to Kingswood Active Lifestyle Centre last month to pedal alongside indoor cycling instructor Lisa Leonard (46), with nine completing the full eight-hour challenge.
Five instructors led classes throughout the day and uptake was extremely high – with participants racking up an average of 95 miles on each of the studio's 20 bikes. Each bike station saw an average of 3,865 calories burned throughout the eight-hour session, which is the equivalent of 17 Mars bars.
The funds raised will now be donated to Cancer Research UK and Bowel Cancer UK, which hold sentimental value for Lisa and members of her cycling class.
Lisa explains:
My Mum was diagnosed with a rare type of cancer in May last year, so these charities are extremely close to my heart. So much can happen in a short space of time, and when Mum passed away just a few months later in the August, I was left questioning 'what can I do to help'. More research into this type of cancer might help someone in the future, so there was no doubt that I wanted to raise money for Cancer Research UK
And sadly, our decision to fundraise for Bowel Cancer UK has similar roots, as one of the ladies in our cycling group recently lost her grandfather to cancer.
Members of the community helped to pedal the fundraising forwards with online funding sites, and local businesses – including a beautician, a barber and the butchers – have displayed collection buckets in their premises.
Centre Manager at Kingswood Active Lifestyle Centre, Martyn Hinam, said:
Our centre prides itself on being a real part of the community, so we were delighted to support Lisa in organising and hosting this charity cycling challenge.
We know that a lot of hard work and dedication has been put into the fundraising efforts, so we're thrilled that Lisa and her team have been able to raise so much money for two great causes. We look forward to supporting with any future charity challenges the class decides to pursue.
Kingswood Active Lifestyle Centre is one of five lifestyle Centres and a dual-use Sports Centre operated across South Gloucestershire by the not for profit organisation Circadian Trust.
