Periodically, Aleta also "surfed" her newborn on her chest.
Aunt Santini, who acted as Aleta's midwife, split her time between swimming with Aleta, with the baby in the middle, and entertaining the onlookers by breaching, diving, and giggling.
Soon after the baby's tail flukes appeared and everyone gathered around the lagoon, someone noticed that we weren't the only beings in the vicinity. Out in the Gulf, a pod of wild dolphins appeared and swam in the area for quite some time. One staff member remarked that, perhaps, the baby's father Kibby sent a text message.
We don't know the baby's gender and might not for quite some time. The little one won't receive a name until we know whether it's a boy or girl. It's also too soon to decide whether she looks more like her mother or her father.
Coincidentally, the newest member of the DRC family shared its birth day with its older half-sister and cousin Pandora. (Pandora's parents are Kibby and Merina, who is Aleta's half-sister.)
It's a happy day for sure!

Parshas Lech Lecha 5759 - '98
Outline Vol. 3, # 3
In Memory of Rav Chaim Schmelczer, Rosh Hayeshiva of Telz--Chicago
whose extraordinary wisdom and kindness remain a guiding light
Niftar Motzoai Shabbos, 28 Tishrei
The Offerings of Nimrod
Rav Avraham Ibn Ezra stated that Nimrod was the first to trap animals and offer them as sacrifices to Hashem. Ramban disputed this explanation. The sages had a tradition that Nimrod was an evil dictator, who tried to force Avraham to deny his faith. How could Ibn Ezra defend such a person by relating that he offered sacrifices to Hashem?
"Siach Sarfei Kodesh" offered an answer in the name of the Chidushei Harim (Rav Yitzchak Meir of Ger). Once a king had a specially trusted officer. The officer wanted to present a gift to the king, but was hard-pressed to find something that would please the wealthy monarch.
He decided to give a cake. In preparing the cake, the officer dedicated himself to the baking and preparation. If the cake wouldn't be unique in regard to its ingredients, at least it would be unique in regard to the dedication and devotion involved in its making.
When the gift was presented to the king, the monarch, who understood the love and commitment that went into the cake, was deeply honored. The other officers, seeing the pleasure in the king's eyes, decided that they would also give cakes to the king. Their intention was to lessen the esteem which the king had for his beloved officer.
With this analogy, we can understand Ibn Ezra's words. Noach and Avraham brought sacrifices; Nimrod's sacrifices were designed to lessen the respect which these great men had gained.
The Chidushei Harim concluded that one should contemplate this matter deeply. Indeed, there are many implications here.
What does Hashem want with the meat, blood, flour and wine of the sacrifices? It is similar to giving a cake to the king. With all his wealth and pomp, the king has no use for another cake. The loyalty and affection that go into the cake are, however, perceived by the king. The giving is its own reward.
It is possible, though, to give for purely external reasons. The sacrifices of Nimrod were a ploy.
The Brothers' Competition
Kayin (Cain) brought a sacrifice from poor-grade vegetables. Hevel (Abel) also brought an offering; his came from choice flock. Bitterly disappointed that his sacrifice was not accepted, as was his brother's, Kayin killed Hevel.
The Alter of Kelm asked, "Why didn't the merit of the mitzva afford some protection to Hevel? How can it be, that he died because of the mitzva he performed? Rather, the verses indicate that the concept of the offering was solely Kayin's. Hevel merely saw what his brother had done, and took the idea for himself. Since it did not originate with his own intention, with his own heart, it was not a mitzva at all." (Introduction to Daas Chochma Umusar)
From the traditional explanations, the words of the Alter seem amazing. However, a glance at the Targumim (ancient Aramaic paraphrasing) of Yonason Ben Uziel and Yerushalmi reveals another side to the brothers' quarrel.
The Targumim relate that Kayin approached Hevel to discuss his depression. He felt that there was no justice in the world; if not, why was his offering not accepted, while Hevel's was? Hevel responded that there certainly was justice in the world. Kayin's sacrifice was not accepted because it was inferior; Hevel's own offering was, however, superior.
Hevel refused to empathize with Hevel's plight; instead, he spoke with pride and presumption. According to the Alter, this dialogue reveals that Hevel's intentions were not proper from the start. His offering was an attempt to take his brother's idea, and show his own superiority.
The rivalry of the brothers shows a basic insecurity. An ideally solid person would not seek a show of superiority, nor be overly upset if he is overshadowed by another.
Internal Inspiration
Rav Yerucham Levovitz, based on the Mishnah in Pirke Avos, explained the characteristic called "levad" -- aloneness. A person's state of being should not be dependent on others, but he should find qualities within himself. Thus the Mishnah explains that the mighty one is one who controls himself, rather than having to defeat another person. The wealthy person is one who rejoices in his lot; the wise one is he who learns from everyone; the honored one is he who honors others. Thus might, wealth, wisdom and honor can be found within one's self, at all times and places. Pity the one who needs external honor -- when no one honors him, what will he do with himself? (Daas Torah, Bereishis and Devarim)
Chodshei Hashanah Vol. 3 # 2
"Tal Umatar" and The Two Calendars
Although we have seen the uniqueness of the Jewish calendar, there are laws which rely on the civil calendar, as well. The request for rain -- 'tal umatar' -- is first mentioned in Eretz Yisrael on the seventh day of the Hebrew month, Cheshvan. Beyond the immediate environs of the Holy Land, however, it is recited 60 days following the fall equinox (Tekufas Tishrei). Since the civil calendar is fixed by the sun, rather than the moon, 60 days after the fall equinox can be easily calculated by the civil calendar.
The Julian Calendar was established by Julius Ceasar upon consultation with mathematicians. It provided a reasonably accurate solar calendar, based upon a 365 1/4 day year, by adding an extra day every four years. Over the course of time, however, the calendar equinoxes began to advance against the actual date. By the 1500's, the equinox occurred ten days late.
The Gregorian Calendar
In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII instituted a revision, called the New Style or Gregorian Calendar. Although it is the system most of the world is familiar with today, it was not quickly accepted by many nations and sects. The British Empire did not accept it until 1752, China 1912, and Russia 1918, for example.
Recognizing that the actual solar year is less than 365 1/4 days, the new calendar was established with the purpose of reducing the discrepancy between the actual year and the calendar year. It accomplished this by diminishing the number of leap years. In the Gregorian Calendar, years divisible by four are leap years (such as 1988, 1992 and 1996) unless the year is divisible by 100 (such as 1800 or 1900). However, multiples of 400 are leap years -- so 2000 will be a leap year.
By reducing the Julian Calendar by three days every 400 years, the New Style Calendar comes to within three hours of accuracy during the 400 year period.
Dr. Arthur Spier was the director of the Talmud Torah Realschule in Germany until the Nazis closed it. Due to his perseverance, the school remained open until '40, well past Kristallnacht. When teaching mathematics, he made it a habit to explain details of the Jewish calendar to his students. Later, in New York, he published "The Comprehensive Hebrew Calendar." (The third edition was published by Feldheim posthumously in '86.)
Regarding the equinoxes and request for rain, Dr. Spier points out that people often are in error (p. 20). Next week, we will investigate the times for the request of "tal umatar."

The Oasis Model of Governance
The Oasis model of governance is designed to ensure strong accountability and therefore great educational standards. Statutory governance responsibilities are held by the OCL Board, who ultimately govern each Academy. These responsibilities are delegated to the OCL CEO, National Director of Academies and Regional Directors and then to Principals; taking responsibility for overall performance, financial viability, legal compliance and statutory duties.
Read more about the Oasis Scheme of Delegation.
Professional Governance and Executive Leadership
The National Director of Academies is accountable to the CEO assisting them and acting with their full authority to deliver education and governance across all Oasis Academies. The role will deputise for the CEO and act as an ambassador for the organisation.
Regional Directors
Regional Directors, on behalf of the CEO, line-manage Academy Principals and Executive Principals. Regional Directors have responsibility for Academy target setting and monitoring the progress that Academies are making towards addressing improvement priorities identified by the Monitoring & Standards Team. Regional Directors are accountable for ensuring an effective culture of safeguarding. You can find out more about our RD by visiting our Regional Leadership page.
National Directors and Monitoring & Standards Team
The National Directors of Primary and Secondary lead a Monitoring & Standards Team (MST) informing school evaluation and providing our Academy leaders with key information on what their Academy is doing well and what steps they should consider taking further to improve things.
Hub Councils
The key principle of OCL's Governance is that it operates through Regional Directors via their executive leadership, whilst the Hub Council as a local body provides feedback and community context and information to ensure that we act according to our ethos and represent the needs of our students, their parents and the communities we serve. Hub Councillors are not statutory governance and have no statutory responsibility. To find out more about Hub Councils please visit our community section.
Oasis Community Learning are in the process of transitioning from Academy Councils to Hub Councils over 2019-2020 and therefore this information along with our Scheme of Delegation reflects the Hub Council Model. Academies that have not yet transitioned should continue to operate their Academy Council until they transition.

"Full Body Burden: Growing Up in the Nuclear Shadow of Rocky Flats" is the All Bonaventure Reads selection for the class of 2017.
All first-year students are asked to read the annual All Bonaventure Reads text, which is the cornerstone of the University 101 course. Many other courses will adopt the text, and the entire campus community is invited to read the book and participate in the numerous events planned over the course of the fall semester.
"Full Body Burden" is the memoir of a woman who grew up in a small Colorado town close to Rocky Flats, a secret nuclear weapons plant once designated "the most contaminated site in America."
Growing up in Arvada, Colo., near the Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapons Plant, author Kristen Iversen's family and most of her blue-collar neighbors thought Rocky Flats made household cleaning supplies. Under the backdrop of the Cold War, Rocky Flats spent more than 30 years secretly producing plutonium triggers for nuclear bombs. (The title refers to the amount of radioactive material at any time in a human body.)
In the late 1970s, "as the truth began to spread, people protested at the bomb plant and worried about radioactive and toxic waste in surrounding neighborhoods," wrote Iversen. But production of the triggers would continue until 1989 after the FBI and EPA raided the plant.
Described as part investigative journalism and part memoir, "Full Body Burden" explores secrets — not only of the government's cover-up of nuclear contamination, but of Iversen's own family's silences, too, where her father's drinking and her mother's denial were routinely disregarded.
About the author
Kristen Iversen will speak with clusters of students throughout the day and conclude her visit with an evening freshman address at 7 p.m. in the Reilly Center Arena. Her talk is free and open to the public.

How is ALWAYS Infinity with SmartFoam better than other ALWAYS sanitary towels?
ALWAYS Infinity was developed to provide women with another choice in feminine protection that may better fit their needs. ALWAYS Infinity is made with SmartFoam, a new technology that absorbs 10x its weight yet you barely feel it. There are micro holes, form-fitting channels, and a unique wider-at-the-back shape to help provide women an intimate fit for effective protection. ALWAYS Infinity has the established and reliable wing design with a unique double-curve shape and stretched areas that allow the wing to follow the shape of underwear and its curvature during wearing. Additionally, there is a soft-top layer that helps the sanitary towel feel more like underwear.
Why do you call Infinity "revolutionary"?
More than 60 patents – were generated in the development of the material, the finished product and the production – and are a testament to the R&D innovation behind ALWAYS Infinity. ALWAYS Infinity is the only feminine protection product with SmartFoam, a new technology that absorbs 10x its weight yet you barely feel it. Also, ALWAYS Infinity is the only product with micro holes, form-fitting channels, and a unique, intuitive; "wider-at-the-back" shape to help the sanitary towels achieve a critical three-dimensional body fit for effective protection.
Why all this talk about fit?
Fit is critical to a sanitary towel's performance. A sanitary towel with proper fit will absorb better and provide a better experience for women. The combination of the SmartFoam core and the holes helps make the Infinity sanitary towel able to achieve critical three-dimensional body fit and ultimately provide women effective protection.
What is SmartFoam?
SmartFoam is a new technology that is found only in ALWAYS Infinity feminine sanitary towels. It is a soft, very absorbent foam. Its layered structure allows fluid to be quickly drawn from the top of the sanitary towel deep into the bottom layer, where it is stored.
How does SmartFoam differ from current super-absorbent materials?
SmartFoam is the only light foam sanitary towel available in feminine hygiene products. This foam structure with open and interconnected cells acquires liquid and distributes it effectively. SmartFoam keeps its shape even when wet. Traditional sanitary towels are constructed from cellulose fibers, which store fluid more "locally" and can collapse when wet.
How can Infinity work with all these holes?
Micro holes/apertures are designed to provide more void surface area for the fluid to get into the SmartFoam core and help absorb gushes. The fluid that enters through the holes is captured and absorbed by the core on its way down. In addition, the form fitting channels flex to fit you and help follow the body's movement, thus helping the Infinity sanitary towel achieve critical three-dimensional body fit.

I love these pads. Don't have to worry about mishaps or the pad moving about. Totally forget that it's there. Would never go back to the original towels as haven't liked them since the scent was added, and the infinity range give much better protection.
Recommended Product
I started using the infinity range a while ago now and found them amazing from the first use! I have a busy job and cannot always get to a toilet easily, these pads absorb so much more than the regular pads which gives me ease of mind that I won't have any accidents whilst I am out and about for my job. They are really comfortable, I hardly notice they are there!! Would 100% recommend these to everyone.
the best in the market, will recommended to a friend!
The only ones i can wear witb out getting a form of nappy rash
Usually I have to use a the night pads all day as heavy when I tried these I was doubtful but they were just as absorbant and felt like I wasn't wearing one they were so comfortable

Looks like the day when we all hang out with robots that smoke cigars, throw back drinks and win all our money in poker is edging closer, now that programmers at the University of Alberta have created a Hold 'Em-playing software that can beat poker professionals. The Polaris software was pitted against Poker pros like Nick Grudzien and Ijay Palansky in six games of limit Texas Hold 'Em-it tied on one, lost two and won three.
Each match consisted of 500 hands, with Polaris receiving the same cards in one room that the professionals received in another room. The duplicate system was used so that luck would be less of a factor and the game could be played as much on skill as possible.
Historically, computers have been better at playing games where all information is already on the board, such as chess. With poker, players have to make judgments based on incomplete information. Getting artificial intelligence to do that well is a big step, since real life problems are generally more like poker than like chess. [MSN Cosmic Log]

You've heard the saying "you are what you eat." Now there's proof the saying holds true for what you drink as well. In fact, what you drink could be a powerful punch for your mind.
From soda to juice, tea, coffee, and wine – all of these drinks can impact your memory. A Vanderbilt study shows a glass of blueberry, grape or apple juice three times a week slashed Alzheimer's odds by 65 percent.
Just one cup of black or green tea a week cuts rates of cognitive decline in older people by 37 percent, but the Alzheimer's Association warns only brewed tea works. Skip bottled tea w,hich is devoid of antioxidants.
That morning cup of Jo may do more than wake you up. A large European study found it could be the new brain tonic. Drinking just one cup a day could lower your Alzheimer's risk 65 percent.
Try to avoid sugary soft drinks, especially those sweetened with high fructose corn syrup. They make lab animals dumb. Also, water with high copper content can up your odds of Alzheimer's. Use a water filter that removes excess minerals.

Andrew P. Napolitano
January 11, 2013
The right of the people to keep and bear arms is an extension of the natural right to self-defense and a hallmark of personal sovereignty. It is specifically insulated from governmental interference by the Constitution and has historically been the linchpin of resistance to tyranny. Yet the progressives in both political parties stand ready to use the coercive power of the government to interfere with the exercise of that right by law-abiding persons because of the gross abuse of that right by some crazies in our midst.
When Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence that we are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, he was marrying the nation at its birth to the ancient principles of the natural law that have animated the Judeo-Christian tradition in the West. Those principles have operated as a brake on all governments that recognize them by enunciating the concept of natural rights.
As we have been created in the image and likeness of God the Father, we are perfectly free just as He is. Thus, the natural law teaches that our freedoms are pre-political and come from our humanity and not from the government. As our humanity is ultimately divine in origin, the government, even by majority vote, cannot morally take natural rights away from us. A natural right is an area of individual human behavior — like thought, speech, worship, travel, self-defense, privacy, ownership and use of property, consensual personal intimacy — immune from government interference and for the exercise of which we don't need the government's permission.
The essence of humanity is freedom. Government — whether voted in peacefully or thrust upon us by force — is essentially the negation of freedom. Throughout the history of the world, people have achieved freedom when those in power have begrudgingly given it up. From the assassination of Julius Caesar to King John's forced signing of the Magna Carta, from the English Civil War to the triumph of the allies at the end of World War II, from the fall of communism to the Arab Spring, governments have permitted so-called nobles and everyday folk to exercise more personal freedom as a result of their demands for it and their fighting for it. This constitutes power permitting liberty.
The American experience was the opposite. Here, each human being is sovereign, as the colonists were after the Revolution. Here, the delegation to the government of some sovereignty — the personal dominion over self — by each American permitted the government to have limited power in order to safeguard the liberties we retained. Stated differently, Americans gave up some limited personal freedom to the new government so it could have the authority and resources to protect the freedoms we retained. Individuals are sovereign in America, not the government. This constitutes liberty permitting power.
Yet we did not give up any natural rights; rather, we retained them. It is the choice of every individual whether to give them up. Neither our neighbors nor the government can make those choices for us, because we are all without the moral or legal authority to interfere with anyone else's natural rights. Since the government derives all of its powers from the consent of the governed, and since we each lack the power to interfere with the natural rights of another, how could the government lawfully have that power? It doesn't. Were this not so, our rights would not be natural; they would be subject to the government's whims.

Pests can be attracted to a residence for a number of reasons. In some cases it's because of the local environment - such as how close the home is to woods. In other cases it might be because of refuse or trash near the home - garbage cans and spilled food can be big attractors of insects and rodents. But did you know that your plumbing system can also attract pests if not properly maintained? Damaged or poorly installed plumbing fixtures can lead to spilled water and mold, which can seem like flashing neon signs to the local pest population. Read on to learn how to check your home's plumbing and about what to look out for.
Pests will usually enter a home for one of two reasons: food supply or water supply. Like other animals, insects and rodents are always on the lookout for their next meal or the next drink of water. In the summer months, it is usually water they're after. If the weather has been dry, insects will turn to man made water solutions. If the weather has been wet, groundwater might have seeped into the foundation of your home, bringing the bugs with it. According to Purdue University, pools, kitchens and bathrooms are prime targets for thirsty pests. Leaky pipes and faucets are easy to spot. If you've noticed ants, spiders or centipedes in your home, check all of your pipes for leaks. That means going under all the sinks, checking shower heads and looking around the main water supply in your home. You should also check any outdoor spouts you might have. Seal any leaks you find or call a professional if you notice large cracks.
According to Texas A&M University, some insects, like beetles, actually feed on mold and mildew. Improperly installed plumbing or out-of-date fixtures might lead to moisture build up, even if they are not actively leaking. Mold is its own health hazard, especially for those with asthma or allergies, so it should be cleaned up as soon as you spot it. If you're plumbing is fine, but you're still finding mold buildup, consider using a dehumidifier to remove some of the moisture from the air.
Standing water, mold and humidity are all things that bugs love, so do everything you can to keep them out of your home! Doing so will be a major step in limiting insect populations around your house.
As the weather cools, you'll probably see fewer pests than you did during the warmer months, but that doesn't mean they're all gone just yet. Some insects can actually come out in full force during the autumn, while others might seek refuge in your warm home. Here are some key tips to keep in mind as fall gets underway:
Not every creature that visits your property is a dangerous nuisance. Many animals actually offer a number of benefits that keep your yard healthy. Predatory animals, in particular, actually offer natural pest control. Here are five common suburban creatures that can help keep more difficult or annoying animals at bay:
The customer is always right, and this is especially true if he or she is complaining about seeing a mouse or cockroach. Pests have no place in your organization, as bugs and rodents will turn away potential business or even lead to a possible lawsuit. Keeping your company protected requires a proactive approach. Work with a pest removal specialist to identify the best ways to stop creatures from infesting your business. Here are just a few ideas for successfully mitigating and preventing any issues:
You might see an influx of rodents at this time of year, because as the weather cools mice and rats seek warmth anywhere they can find it. Unfortunately, that often means inside residential homes. Many homes may experience rodent infestations at this time of year more than any other. Whether they're getting into your garage, basement or kitchen, it's important to put a stop to them before the problem becomes too serious and requires the intervention of a professional pest control agency.
Summer is almost here and before you head out on a family trip or even if you travel for work, consider doing a little research so you become familiar with bed bugs. This will help you identify them quickly and it could keep you from bringing them home unknowingly!
With the promise of summer also comes the promise of bugs. Homeowners have to stay vigilant, lest they find ants - or worse - rifling through their food.

For some, the garage is a primarily a storage unit. If your household is one that keeps its vehicles parked in the driveway, you may have considered clearing out the garage or at least organizing it so that you can better locate your things. Another good reason to do so it because a cluttered garage makes it easier for pests to hide. In the summer months, pests might invade the space looking for some shade. During winter, rodents may take shelter from the cold. Perhaps worst of all, a swarm of bees or wasps could decide that an open wall is the perfect spot to build a nest. For these reasons alone, you should consider cleaning out your garage and inspecting it for pest damage. Read on to learn how:
With autumn in full swing, chances are you're spending more time outside, enjoying the changing colors. Hikes through the forest and walks through the park are great ways of enjoying the outdoors before the cold months of winter come. These activities are so much more enjoyable when you can take your beloved canine company with you. But when you do, you have to be wary about ticks and fleas. These parasites can spread disease at worst and make your pet very itchy at best. Keep reading to learn how to keep your pets pest free.
With autumn right around the corner, it's time to start thinking about how to prepare your lawn for the cold weather ahead. Doing so now could mean fewer pests come next spring, and you'll have a better shot at having the best looking lawn in the neighborhood. Make use of these final weeks of warm evenings, so you can sit back and relax when the winds get chilly. Here's how:
Resort hotels have an increased risk of pest infestations because there are several potential points of entry. The surrounding environment, food shipments and the guests themselves can all bring pests into the facilities. A solid integrated pest management strategy is important for keeping these pests from becoming a costly problem. Here are a few tips for controlling pests at hotel resorts:
Moths may be small, but they can cause real damage around the house. Some species may infest your kitchen and living room area, while others are notorious for their ability to ruin your favorite clothes. Even in the winter, these flying insects can be a serious nuisance and demand action from homeowners. Here's what you need to know about the different ways moths can infest your home and what you can do about it:
Autumn is a fun season because the leaves are changing color, the big holidays are right around the corner, and there's all kinds of new treats to try. But it's also the time of year when more pests may try to invade your home. As they look to escape from the chilly nights, pests might see your home as the perfect hideaway. Be prepared for some of the season's top pests by reading the tips below:
One of the world's most abundant pests, silverfish can invade just about any home, restaurant or business. These tiny insects are adept at surviving in seemingly inhospitable environments, and as such, can easily survive in a basement or storage room. Silverfish may be gray, dark brown or even blue in color. They also have two long antennae and several appendages on the rear that look like tails. Unfortunately, these bugs can scurry across the floor so quickly you may not see them at all. Here's a little bit more about these frustrating pests:
There are many situations where you can probably take care of a pest problem on your own. However, in some cases, it's better to call a professional pest control service before the problem gets out of control. Knowing when a pest invasion is too much to handle on your own is part of being a responsible property owner. That said, it can be tempting to handle every situation by yourself. Keep reading to learn how to tell when it's time to call in the professionals:
A garden is a wonderful thing to have and enjoy. However, many gardeners may become sad when they notice that something is off - there's a white film on their plants' leaves, there are holes in flora or there are bugs everywhere. These three factors, whether together or alone, may indicate you have an issue in your garden. Regardless of whether you have an extensive plot or just a few small potted plants, baking soda may be the elixir you need. Consider these reasons why using baking soda can keep your garden at its best.
Pests can get a bad reputation sometimes. However, some organisms may actually be beneficial in your yard and will fight off other harmful pests. Consider these reasons why a few select pests may actually be good for your yard.
When it comes to eliminating pests, most people don't know what's actually used to destroy the pests - they just want them gone. Well, the truth is some chemicals used are incredibly dangerous, and could threaten the health and safety of your tenants. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stated that 90 percent of Americans have a mix of approximately 43 types of pesticides in their bodies. These pesticides are associated with cancer, reproductive health problems and even birth defects. Consider these reasons why green pest control may be the way to go.
Picture yourself as a diner at a restaurant where a mouse has just run under a table, or a customer in a dress shop who spots a spider weaving a large web in a corner of the store. What's your opinion of those businesses? It may be so negative that you feel compelled to leave, and more than that, to warn your friends not to patronize those places.
There's nothing worse than finding a worm crawling through a delicious apple. However, pests often end up inside food or infesting boxes of it, causing major product loss for corporations. Facilities that store and package food are ideal places for pests to get comfortable. These places have three things pests need: food, water and shelter. So, they don't mind making their way into a facility and staying for a while. Once they have arrived, they can be hard to get rid of and can make the business as a whole suffer. Sanitation is a major factor behind this problem. Consider these ways to keep the facility clean.
There are three pests that make themselves apparent each winter in homes as they forage for food and warmth. They are the most common pests to invade homes in the cold winter months and each year surprise homeowners when they are spotted them in the spring. These three pests are cunning and often have new and inventive ways to wiggle into a home. Consider these tips to keep rats, mice and squirrels out of your house.

How to Be a Better Parent, Part 4
Have your children gone from little angels to kids gone wild? Are they whiney, tantrum-throwing, feet-stomping, door-slamming, spoiled and entitled? Well, good news, Mom and Dad! Dr. Phil launches his parenting boot camp and teaches parents how to take back control and live in peace for the very first time.
Four families tired of the fighting, yelling, chaos and conflict in their home move into The Dr. Phil House. Tammie says her 11-year-old daughter, Davia, is stubborn, uncooperative and annoying, and she finds herself with no desire to even hug her. Janice says her 11-year-old son, Austin, is a spoiled little baby whose tantrums are so obnoxious, she's ready to throw in the towel. Tiffiny and Ron say their two oldest daughters, Rachel, 14, and Paige, 10, make them regret becoming parents. They say living with their 14-year-old is like living with Hannibal Lector, and the 10-year-old won't stop lying. And, Laureen is a single mom who says her 16-year-old daughter, Shannon, is so out of control, she could be headed for jail. What are these families doing wrong? How can these parents regain control and create peace in their homes?
Part 2 Summary:
At The House, the kids find their portraits on the wall and are told to find an emotion card that defines how they are feeling and attach it to their photo. The parents are told that whenever their child displays an emotion card, they should use that as an opportunity to talk with their child about what they are feeling. Shannon says she's exhausted, while Laureen worries that her daughter is not taking this opportunity seriously. Davia says she feels hopeful, which makes Tammie break down in tears. Tammie tells her daughter this is her last resort before giving up. Laureen and Shannon snap at each other, and Tammie commiserates with Laureen about being frustrated.
The families move on to a group exercise, discussing what's not working in their relationships and what they intend to work on during their stay. Tammie tearfully acknowledges that she's lost the bond that she used to have with Davia. Paige cries, saying she misses her father, Ron, who spends all his time working and is never around. This surprises Ron because he works from home, so he feels like he's always there. Afterward, Paige changes her emotion card to sad, and Ron and Tiffiny comfort her.
Next, the families participate in dyads. Facing one another, they hear each other's frustrations, often for the first time. Janice is surprised to learn that Austin feels abandoned when she's not home. Shannon tells her mother that she feels unheard and wants to just be a teenager, but Laureen says she isn't trustworthy, and her behavior makes her ashamed. Later, Shannon cries in the confessional, saying her mother holds grudges. Rachel accuses her mother, Tiffiny, of yelling all the time and says that she agrees with her sister that their dad is never around. Ron is moved when she says she wants her dad back. Rachel fights back tears as she says she feels that her parents pay more attention to her two little sisters, and they make her feel like a screw-up.
After the exercise, Davia asks her mother to join her in the Timeout Room, where she breaks down and tells Tammie she's sorry about her lying and bad behavior. Tammie thinks her daughter is insincere and just vying for attention, which she doesn't want to give her. That night, Tammie videotapes an argument that she has with Davia, which she hopes will be evidence of Davia's bad behavior. But Tammie loses her temper and yells, badgers and bullies her daughter, accusing her of acting like "a little bitch."
Dr. Phil meets with the kids, while the parents watch from another room. He asks Austin about his tantrums and tells him that he's becoming a young man who can't continue to act that way. He asks Shannon about her disciplinary problems, and she blames her school for not being as structured as she needs. All the kids say they want less fighting in their lives. Rachel admits she lies to her mother about her school life because she doesn't want her to know that other kids make fun of her and that she has no friends and often eats lunch alone. Shannon says she wants a better relationship with her mother and to earn her trust back. None of the kids remember the last time they were truly proud of themselves, but Dr. Phil reassures them that their lives can change.
Dr. Phil then sits down with the parents. He confronts Laureen about how she seems beaten down and numb. Laureen says she cries every day, and all her time is consumed with policing her daughter's behavior. She feels insulted to be accused of being checked out emotionally. Tiffiny is sad to hear the truth about Rachel's experiences at school and is surprised to hear Rachel doesn't feel proud of herself.
Dr. Phil makes it clear that the parents' behavior affects their relationships with their children. He tells Janice that she is trying to ease her guilt by babying her son, but that actually cripples him socially and emotionally. He warns her that Austin is at risk of being bullied if he doesn't act his age. Dr. Phil tells Ron that he's emotionally checked out of his fathering role, and his workaholic ways are a detriment to his family.
Finally, Dr. Phil plays a home video of a fight between Tammie and Davia. In it, Tammie tells her daughter she has no affectionate feelings toward her, and she can't treat her like her other children because she's always mad at her. As the other parents look on in shock, Tammie weeps.
Part 3 Summary:
After watching Tammie's home video, Dr. Phil tells her point blank that she is a bully, that she is abusing her daughter, and that it has nothing to do with Davia. Tammie sobs, and Dr. Phil tries to uncover why she is so mad and where her contempt for her child comes from. Tammie eventually admits that she feels like Davia was a mistake and that she thinks she resents her for being alive. Dr. Phil reiterates that Davia is the same little girl she always was, and this issue comes from inside Tammie. Her daughter is just an easy target. Since Tammie recorded the disturbing video of their fight, Dr. Phil worries about what wasn't caught on tape. He implores Tammie to fix herself and her issues before she damages Davia.
Dr. Phil tells his guests that there are moments in time when any wrongs can be made right, and they have to recognize this as one of them. He says it's not too late for their children. Dr. Phil tells Ron that if he doesn't plug in as a father, he will be shocked if his two older daughters make it to 18 without getting pregnant. He turns to Laureen and tells her if her daughter needs a live-in school with structure, he will find her one. The offer brings Laureen to tears. He tells all the parents they have great kids, they just need to be great parents, and not just when it's easy. "Reinforcements have arrived. We can do this," he says.
Dr. Phil leaves them with their thoughts. Tammie cries, drawing comfort from the other mothers. Tiffiny consoles her, telling her that she sometimes speaks to her children in the same manner, and they both can change for the better. When Tammie tells the other moms that she doesn't know why she can't appreciate her daughter, Janice and Laureen tell her that they don't understand it either because they see a quiet, normal 11-year-old.
Later, Davia goes looking for her mother, and when she finds her, Tammie quickly excuses herself to the Timeout Room, to gather her thoughts and compose herself. Then she asks Davia to join her. Crying, she hugs her daughter and apologizes for the way she treats her. Davia is moved to tears as well and hugs her mother, telling her she loves her and that she thinks she's the best mom. Afterward, Tammie says she feels closer to her daughter and acknowledges that she has to make peace with her decisions instead of resenting Davia.
Then, the group participates in a role-playing exercise. The parents pair up with their kids and switch roles as they act out a common scenario in their house. The parents portray the children as pouty, bratty and disrespectful. The children try to portray their parents as angry yellers, but Tammie, Laureen and Tiffiny all say their kids didn't get as loud or angry as they admit they are in real life. Ron says watching all the skits is an eye-opener.
Tiffiny accuses Ron of not being himself while at The House and of putting on an act for the cameras. Ron disagrees and says he likes to keep a civil tone. Tiffiny fears he will go back to his old self once they get home.
In the confessional booth, Janice explains that her son, Austin, changed his emotion card to read "Guilty" and then went into the kitchen to eat ice cream. She realizes that she has taught him to comfort himself with food and feels horrible about it. She wants her son to deal with is emotions in a healthy way.
Frustrated that she's being perceived as numb or shut down when it comes to her daughter, Laureen tries to explain her side of the story in the confessional booth. She later tells Tammie that she just can't seem to get her feelings out, and Tammie tells her it's because she's numb. Laureen disagrees.
Then, the group heads outside for an exercise in trust. The kids have to lead their blindfolded parents through an obstacle course. The parents also carry an egg and have to safely deposit it in a basket at the end of the course. The exercise leader comments that Laureen and Shannon appeared to have the most difficulty with trust. Laureen thought her daughter gave up, and Shannon admits she was frustrated and wanted to walk way. The leader notes that Tiffiny and Paige and Davia and Tammie did well, while Austin and Janice seemed to take the easy way around the obstacles. He notes that Janice could have reined in her son a little more instead of letting him do whatever he wanted.
Part 4 Summary:
Dr. Phil drops in on the families during breakfast and speaks with them about choosing to be happy instead of right. He implores everyone to learn how to compromise and negotiate when they have clashes. He tells the kids that they can't blame their parents for everything; they must step up and do their part too. Dr. Phil tells Shannon that she's two years away from being an adult and she must start carrying her own weight.
Then, Dr. Phil talks with the parents alone, explaining that it's time to stop the momentum of their dysfunctional patterns and start putting their children's interests ahead of their own. Tiffiny says she sees herself in Tammie, because of the way she also yells at her kids. She says it's not surprising to learn her daughter, Rachel, isn't proud of herself, given the negative comments Tiffiny has made to her. Dr. Phil explains that it takes a lot of positive reinforcement to erase one comment like, "You're stupid." When Tiffiny asks if it's too late to fix the damage she's caused, Dr. Phil says no, but stresses that the parents' motives must be pure. He explains that it's their job to advance their children's place in life. Tiffiny tearfully shares that she's jealous of the lives her daughters have, and she doesn't think they appreciate all that they're given. Dr. Phil points out that she's sacrificed to give her children a good life, and now she resents them for having it. He implores her to heal her own pain, which will make her anger dissipate, and to celebrate what their daughters have instead of resenting them for it.
Laureen tells Dr. Phil the circumstances that led her to pull Shannon from school permanently: Shannon got in trouble for disrupting a school assembly, which is a criminal charge, and Laureen didn't want her bad behavior to invite worse consequences. Dr. Phil notes the many disruptions in Shannon's life that have probably impacted her, such as her parents' divorce and moving multiple times. Laureen says she dreams of a better future for her daughter. She asks Dr. Phil, "Do you know how long I've been scared for her?" and he responds, "Probably for most of her life." Dr. Phil tells Laureen that if she's interested, he will make the resources available for Shannon to attend a therapeutic residential program for teens. The Aspen Education Group runs the Turn-About Ranch. Shannon can not only be back in school, but she can take an active role in the daily running of a working ranch. Laureen cries and thanks Dr. Phil.
Janice admits she sends her tantrum-throwing son, Austin, mixed signals by telling him to grow up, yet still treating him like her baby. Dr. Phil warns her that, although her situation may not seem as serious as the other families, hers is a ticking time bomb because as her son gets older and bigger, his temper tantrums could turn violent. He accuses Janice of being lazy and feeding her child so she won't have to see him cry. She agrees.
Turning to Tammie, Dr. Phil discusses the importance of roles in the family. He tells Tammie that Davia's role has become the source of Tammie's frustration, the place she vents, and Davia has been the one she criticizes, and the one who causes her pain. He tells her that Davia is not dumb, and she knows and feels her mother's resentment. Dr. Phil tells all the parents that until they clean up their motives, they will never parent with effectiveness.
Later, Tammie expresses her frustration to the other women that she's again becoming annoyed at her daughter's clinginess. Janice and Laureen try to help her discover the cause of her irritation, and Tammie soon realizes that it started when Davia gave her a look that reminded her of her ex, Davia's father. In the confessional, Tammie cries, fearful that nothing will change once they get home.
Dr. Phil meets with the kids alone, and they express positive outlooks about going home to a different family life. When the kids have a turn to ask questions, 10-year-old Paige asks about how Dr. Phil handled tantrums with his sons. He explains that he believes parents make a mistake when they give in to a trantrum, and if Austin's mom, for example, stopped paying attention to him when he threw a fit, he would stop throwing them. Austin agrees. Dr. Phil also addresses the topic of spanking and says he thinks a child has the right not to be hit. He tells the kids to negotiate with their parents, give them respect and always be honest with them. The parents have the responsibility to calmly respond, rather than yelling and screaming. He reminds the kids that their parents love them and are committed to them. Dr. Phil offers Shannon the opportunity to get an education with the program he told her mom about. Shannon agrees to give it a try.
Next, the parents and children sit down to write their family contract, which will address their dreams and goals as a family, with expectations they all agree on, and positive and negative consequences. Afterward, the group participates in an exercise where they share the positives qualities they see in each other, bringing some of them to tears.
Update: Janice says Austin no longer whines to the degree that he used to, and she says she is trying not to allow her guilt to be the basis of any bad decisions concerning her children. Shannon is now back in school, thanks to the Aspen Education Group. Laureen says Shannon writes her weekly letters saying that she loves and misses her. Tiffany and Ron say there are good days and bad with their daughters, but overall, Ron says he sees progress and believes they can get through it together. Lastly, Tammie says she and Davia are not doing well at all. Tammie says she got so angry at Davia, she wouldn't talk to her for three days. Stay tuned when Dr. Phil brings Tammie back for more advice.
Update: Read about how Laureen and Shannon are doing now!

Major Oscar Hadley is investigating allegations of gross misconduct within a self-styled 'Bully Boy' unit of the British army. When young squaddie, Eddie Clark, from Burnley is interrogated, Oscar begins to discover that 'truth' in a modern insurgency can be a point of view rather than a fact. Bully Boy tackles the challenging moral issues of contemporary military occupation and its effect on the mental health of serving soldiers. In this ferociously gripping story, Sandi Toksvig, nationally known and loved as a comedian, author and broadcaster, writes with startling insight and tenderness about the minds of soldiers.
Bully Boy stars ANTHONY ANDREWS, who received worldwide recognition for his portrayal of the doomed Sebastian Flyte in Brideshead Revisited for which he won the British Academy Award (BAFTA) in the UK, the Golden Globe award in the USA and an Emmy nomination for Best Actor. Anthony has most recently played Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin in the 2010 film The King's Speech.

Who knew it was Ladies' Night in Boca Raton? Governor Mitt Romney tried to woo the female vote Monday night at the final presidential debate by playing the guy next door. It was too late and too forced.
This was not Romney the tough guy, pounding his fist to protect America as he often did during the primaries. His stinging criticism of the president was that he hasn't spent enough effort on women's empowerment in the Middle East. His "red line" policy on Iran was tempered, as he focused on diplomacy and sanctions more than preemptive strikes. Romney even ruled out the possibility of military intervention in Syria, far more peacenik than Obama. In appealing to a less-violent foreign policy, Romney repeated twice that "we can't kill our way out of this mess."
What happened? This debate was, in the end, about one constituency only: the women's vote. The female vote has been moving steadily toward Romney as his positions have become more user-friendly. Both candidates appealed early and often to women who prefer to live with fewer wars and less belligerency.
But Romney's late pivot to a kinder/gentler candidate bumped up against his record of statements; his performance seemed more passive than pacifist. Once Romney took hawk-talk off the table, he just couldn't separate himself from Obama.
Meanwhile, courting the same voters, Obama turned the moment of chest-pounding victory with the death of Osama bin Laden into one about a child who lost his father to the terrorist mastermind, appealing to the heartstrings rather than the killer instinct. Romney seemed to fall silent, reminding us only in a disjointed end that "he loves teachers."
It didn't seem to matter that there was no woman moderator. Women were everywhere. But after months of being the bad boy, talking tough and taking prisoners, Romney didn't have enough time to play the marrying kind.

I am honored to have four of my found poems published in Wild Horses: Women on Fire with so many amazing and powerful women writers in this annual print journal published by ELJ Editions to celebrate Women's History Month. I'm particularly proud of these poems, which I wrote as part of a National Poetry Month project with The Found Poetry Review in 2015. The source texts I used for most of the 30 poems in 30 days I wrote for the project were from lesser known women writers I admire.
A tremendous thanks to ELJ Editions who not only created a beautiful collection of women's writing, but so generously nominated one of my poems for my very first Pushcart Prize nomination! Here are the first two stanzas from the poem they nominated, "We Need Language" (found in "How to Tame a Wild Tongue" by Gloria Anzaldúa):
My mouth is a motherlode.
Es una falta de respeto to talk
back to one's mother or father.
We needed a language
with which we could communicate
with ourselves, a secret language.
From kids and people
my own age I picked up Pachuco.
We don't use the word vosotros/as
or its accompanying verb form. Until
I am free to write bilingually
and to switch codes without
having to translate, while I still
have to speak English or Spanish,
when I would rather speak Spanglish,
and as long as I have to accommodate
the English speakers rather than
having them accommodate me,
my tongue will be illegitimate.
Please consider purchasing one of these beautifully printed books or request it at your local library. All will be donated to RAINN: Rape Abuse Incest National Network.
You may have noticed the incredible artwork on the cover, which is by Mandem. You can read more about their artwork and artists, as well as their Hypermobility painting series on their Tumblr page here.
The four poems and source texts included in this collection are:
- "Bruised" found in The Woman Warrior by Maxine Hong Kingston
- "Salvage great love at all cost" found in "Women's Hollering Creek" by Sandra Cisneros
- "White" found in "White Bear" by Joy Harjo
- "We Need Language" found in "How to Tame a Wild Tongue" by Gloria Anzaldúa
ELJ Editions is proud to announce Wild Horses will reopen to submissions under Managing Editor Amy Strauss Friedman with Guest Editor Jessica Walsh from 4/1-4/30/17! While the website is under construction, you can find Wild Horses at www.wildhorses-womenonfire.com.

How to Improve PhpBB Security
The new branch of PHPBB - PHPBB 3 is quite secure. After some major security flaws in PHPBB 2 the PHPBB developers have paid great attention to the security of their product's new branch - PHPBB 3. According to the script's changelog and the users' reports there have been just several minor security issues. They have been resolved quite fast.
Still, in this article we will list useful practices that will additionally improve the security of your PHPBB 3 forum.
Keep Your Software Up-To-Date
This rule is valid for all the applications that you use. Keep your local computer software (OS, anti-virus program, firewall, web browsers, etc.) and web applications (scripts, extensions, components, modules,plugins) upgraded to the corresponding latest stable versions.
Custom Database Tables Prefix
A wise solution is to set a custom database tables prefix during the PHPBB 3 installation. If your hosting provider supports an auto-installer like Softaculous just enter the new value in the "Table Prefix" field. The manual phpBB3 installation also allows to enter the chosen table prefix in the "Prefix for tables in database:" field.
The change of the tables prefix in an existing phpBB 3 installation is more difficult. First, you should edit the config.php file and replace the new prefix in the following field:
$table_prefix = 'phpbb_';
If you have custom modules integrated in your forum check whether they have additional configuration files. You might need to complete the same change in them.
Next, you should rename all the tables in the database. You can run the queries through a tool like phpMyAdmin.
The query for each table should be:
RENAME TABLE phpbb_table_name TO newprefix_table_name;
where you should enter the correct table name and the chosen new prefix.
Additional Admin Login Page
To add a new layer of security to your admin login functionality you should password protect the admin folder. In PHPBB 3 the default admin folder is called "adm". Usually the hosting providers have a password protection tool embedded in their control panels. If your hosting provider uses cPanel you can password protect the folder through the Password Protect Directories tool. The tool will create a .htaccess file under the "adm" folder. Make sure that the used password is different from the one set during the initial PHPBB 3 installation
Always use strong passwords that contain random sequence of letters, numbers and special characters.
Restrict The Admin Folder Access
If you are using a computer with static IP to access your forum you can restrict the access to the admin area. Enter the code listed below in the .htaccess file under the "adm" folder. It will allow access only from your local computer.
Order Deny,Allow Deny from all Allow from 126.96.36.199
Instead of 220.127.116.11 use your IP. It can be checked at: http://whatismyipaddress.com/
The file can be edited either with FTP or with cPanel -> File Manager. You can add more IPs to the list, separated with blank spaces.
Backup Your Forum
Often, keeping backups of your script will allow you fast and easy to restore the stable functionality of your web site. It does not matter if the script has been compromised by hackers or it has been broken by a custom code modification performed from your end. The backup restore will bring the web site to its normal state. Usually the hosting providers create daily or weekly backups of your account. Still, you can additionally take care of this task. Detailed instructions can be found in this knowledge base article.
Enhance The Users Registration
PHPBB 3 has some useful options which will stop most of the malicious users' registrations attempts. Open your forum's admin area and load the "User registration settings" section.
For the "Account activation" option pick "By user (email verification)". During the registration the user will have to provide a valid e-mail account and approve the registration through a confirmation link message delivered to it.
For "Password complexity" select "Must contain symbols". In this way the user will have to enter letters, numbers and symbols in the chosen password.
Leave the default values of the other options.
Forums that follow the above-mentioned tips experience 80% less security problems. If despite the measures taken, your forum gets hacked, you should contact your host for assistance and try to get more specific security tips from the community via the discussions boards.
PhpBB hosting by SiteGround includes:
When hosted by SiteGround your forum is faster and more secure!
- Free phpBB Installation
- Free Domain
- Unlimited Traffic and Emails
- Expert 24/7 phpBB Support
- FREE Daily Backup
- FREE CDN Service

I did say in my previous post that if Oracle posted a recording of their webinar I would add some further comments as I did not get to hear all of the live webcast. Well they have.
The bits I did not get first time round:
3 Reasons to Move
- Brain Drain. Yes there has been a big change in the leadership of EMC IIG, as it is now known, since EMC bought Documentum and I do think they are still to really make a mark so this is a fair point.
- Slow Product Releases. Yes, Centerstage was delayed a long time and there is a long wait for D7 and xCP 2.0.
- Rising Maintenance Fees. I've not seen this myself.

Madigan requests full 7th Circuit rehearing in public carry case
Send a link to a friend
[January 09, 2013]
CHICAGO -- Attorney General Lisa
Madigan announced on Tuesday that she has filed a petition for
rehearing before the full U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in
lawsuits challenging the Illinois laws that prevent the carrying of
ready-to-use firearms in public.
Madigan's petition was
filed in lawsuits brought against the state of Illinois by Michael
Moore, Mary E. Shepard and the Illinois State Rifle Association,
which allege that Illinois' restrictions on the carrying of
ready-to-use weapons in public violates their Second Amendment
rights. The laws had previously been upheld by two separate federal
district courts in Illinois.
In its December decision, the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals set a
180-day deadline for the Illinois Legislature to draft and enact new
laws relating to carrying ready-to-use firearms in public. The
attorney general's petition for rehearing does not affect that
[to top of second column]
Madigan issued the following statement regarding her decision to
seek a rehearing:
"In ruling that Illinois must allow individuals to carry
ready-to-use firearms in public, the 7th Circuit Court's decision
goes beyond what the U.S. Supreme Court has held and conflicts with
decisions by two other federal appellate courts. Based on those
decisions, it is appropriate to ask the full 7th Circuit to review
this case and consider adopting an approach that is consistent with
the other appellate courts that have addressed these issues after
the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark
Heller and McDonald

Hundreds of millions have watched the dance and listened to the song — most without understanding a word — but very few have any idea what "Gangnam" is and what, if any, particular "style" it might have.
The Gangnam in the title of the global hit by South Korean rapper Psy is Seoul's wealthiest residential and shopping district, lined with luxury boutiques, top-end bars, night clubs and restaurants frequented by celebrities.
But even among those Koreans who live or party regularly in Gangnam, which literally and unglamorously translates as "south of the river", there is little consensus on what constitutes the district'sstyle.
Translating the song's lyrics, which some see as satirising the district's self-importance and ostentatious wealth, offers little in the way of concrete insights.
Psy sings about being the "guy who downs boiling coffee in one shot" and who "goes completely crazy when the right time comes."
Kwon Yu-Bi, a 23-year-old student and Gangnam night-life regular, said the song was less about any particular place and more about a new-found hedonism in Asia's fourth largest economy.
"Gangnam is just a symbolic place and I think the song really reflects Korea, where young people, including myself, enjoy a hectic and crazy night out," Kwon told AFP.
A Gangnam residential address doesn't come cheap, with the average apartment price — even with Seoul going through an extended real estate slump — set at around $720,000.
One particular street, lined on both sides with outlets of global luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Cartier and Prada has been compared to Rodeo Drive of Beverly Hills in California.
For Kim Hoo-Yeon, 23, the real Gangnam style equates to nothing more than an obsession with conspicuous consumption.
"Every time I go to Gangnam, I feel people come to show off how much money they have," she said.
"I don't even feel it's worthwhile labelling it 'Gangnam style'," agreed 29-year-old Park Seong-Jun, who said the place was simply a magnet for anyone who could afford to go on a "crazy money-spending spree".
The video that launched Psy and "Gangnam Style" to global fame and has notched up nearly 500 million views on YouTube certainly appears to poke fun at the district's image of idle affluence.
It features the rapper breezing through a world of speed boats, yoga classes and exclusive clubs — all the while performing an eccentric horse-riding dance accompanied by beautiful models.
The implied emphasis on superficiality over substance is reinforced by the fact that the real Gangnam is well-known for celebrity-frequented plastic surgery clinics.
But Kim Soo-Mi, 49, who works as a pharmacist and has lived in Gangnam for 15 years, believes the image is a false one.
"It's a pity that only the negative sides of Gangnam have been known through the song, since there's so much more to the area than that," said Kim, who sees her neighbourhood as sophisticated rather than glamorous.
"When I visit other areas, that's when I really feel Gangnam is a trendsetter — not just for fashion but for lifestyle in general," she said.
And J.H. Lim, the owner of a high-end restaurant in the area, said Gangnam's style was one of refined taste that appealed to a mature clientele.
"If someone's looking for fast-paced fun and energy, there are other places in Seoul for that. Gangnam is more for high-profile adults, who want to enjoy the luxury and exclusivity", the 55-year-old entrepreneur said.
