Chicken Rice Balls
Posted by kurokei at 12:40 PM 1 comments
It was awesome!
I woke up with a neck pain and my whole hand was numb coz I slept wrongly. Hahaha. And it was really hard for me to get up, even though it wasn't a nice sleep. The bed was hard. The pillow was hard. X.x I love softness. Haha. But I was too tired to bother all that. Even in the car back from dinner yesterday I was sleeping. Haha.
Going for chicken riceballs then BYE BYE MELAKA! =3
P/S: I FINALLY get to wear the sunglass I bought TWO YEARS AGO! I didn't have contact lense back then. Lol.

Off to Melaka!
So there I was, changing back to my glasses. I was told not wear the lenses more than 8 hours. Lol.
Apparently my new no-glasses appearance seem to get no attention like usual. Or people just don't give a damn that the odd quiet girl decides to have a change. Lol
Only 2 people asked. Lol. Both girls. =p
Oh yes, even though he saw my face the closest and talk to me the most. Lol
Anyways, I'm going to Muar now and later Melaka! XD My colleagues are - unexpectedly - going to Melaka too, for an ex-colleague's wedding dinner - which I wasn't invited to so I didn't expected them to go Melaka coincidencely.
Bai now! Will blog more later so stay tuned! Lol

Contacts yo!
FINALLY I got myself a pair(well actually 6 pairs to be exact) of contact lenses. lol
What amazes me the most is - compared to a few years back - these lenses are so much comfortable to wear. I can't feel anything! Lol
And the thing about not wearing glasses is, they brought out my sleepy eyes, making my eyes look smaller. X.x
Oh and because I'm such a nobody at work, no one seem to notice. Lol
Bah who cares. I'm going to Melaka later! XD

Special Spaghetti Club Set - Mushroom Soup
This set is suppose to come with a soup. Me and the birthday boy ordered the same thing.
Then another 2 of my friends ordered a similar set.
2 soups came first. And I don't know why but they were given to the other 2 friend. I didn't really care much coz I only noticed the spaghetti. We was like wtf with RM1.50 difference they get so much food?
So later after we finished our food, the late comers came. And they ordered the same food as the 2 friends.
But the weird thing is, she don't have the soup.
Then it hit me, THE SOUP MIGHT BE OURS!
Fuck. Lol.
Oh well, Happy Birthday Ben! =)
P/S: I'm still debating what I should do before I leave.

I look dead. Lol
Sorry, but my emotions are like up and down these days. And I'm exhausted.
I'm trying to stay positive but my emo-ness is taking over me. Lol. I feel sorry to myself. I had already promised myself not to become like this yet I can't help it.
I might laugh about this in the future but now I'm down. Lol.
Oh well.

New workspace?
Nah, just for 3 days coz EVERYONE that sits in the living room has been called to go training. So I'm alone. Lol.
Then a really nice colleague asked for permission for me to sit in the department so I won't get bored. Lol
The environment is completely different from inside, it's kinda tension really. And I'm sitting on a damn soon-to-be-broken chair. It makes me go o_o whenever it cracks.
Now I'm on my way to a Ramadhan buffet dinner organized by my company. Lol. Yay! =D

Ja-jang! This is the 3rd mooncake in the Doraemon mooncake set I bought. The fillings are dragonfruit + lotus paste, so it's pink inside and it has black seeds like the real watermelon!
But the fillings are the one that tastes good. The skin taste hard and dry.
Anyway yesterday was Michael *finally* burial. Wtf died for more than 2 months still not buried. Wanna torture his soul izit?
I thought I was over his death but no, I cried when I see the picture of his funeral. With the white flowers and stuff.
Oh well, back to work.

So starting from my pic, a few days ago I brought this little fella from my room to my car. Reason? I want to decorate my car with a lot of cute items AND my sis kept kicking it off my bed. Every morning I see it on the floor. Bah.
Hmm. Not much else to say.
Oh and I ordered a dress! For cosplay. Hoho. Not for non-otaku people. =3

Breaking Through Silos: Innovation Through Collaboration
Note: This article is based on a presentation delivered by Murali Krishnan, Vice President and General Manager of ISR at Harris, during the American Chemical Society NASA Symposium in April 2019.
The unified space community, along with our amazing customer NASA, and the American Chemistry Society, have a lot in common regarding the way we can tackle some of the world's – and universe's – great challenges.
The month of April is actually a pretty big month for space milestones. The first weather satellite, TIROS-1, launched in April 1961. Also in April 1961, Yuri Gagarin became the first man in outer space. In 1981, the space shuttle Columbia became the first winged spaceship to orbit the Earth and land on a runway.
On this day, several centuries ago, there was another milestone, but not one tied to space. On April 2, 1513, Spaniard Juan Ponce de Leon first arrived off the Florida coast and became the first European to claim the land. After sailing with Christopher Columbus on his second expedition in 1493, Ponce de Leon became a top military official on Hispaniola before exploring Puerto Rico and becoming that island's first governor. He settled into that role until someone else decided they wanted to be governor – Columbus' son Diego. Diego became governor and Ponce de Leon had to move on to something else. Driven by exploration and innovation, Ponce de Leon returned to sailing the seas and exploring new lands, eventually discovering Florida.
Some of you may be wondering what Ponce de Leon has to do with our topic today. As history has shown us, exploration and discovery is in our DNA as human beings. We constantly strive to explore and discover the unknown. One of the great drivers of discovery is innovation. Faster ships, lighter materials, greater protection from the environment – innovation has helped us discover great things.
And what fuels innovation? Collaboration. Breaking down silos also breaks down limitations. Working across boundaries helps everyone achieve more. As the saying goes, a rising tide raises all ships. Collaboration fuels the innovation that allows us to do things differently and think outside of the proverbial box to enable discovery.
One example that comes to mind is the discovery of the structure of DNA. It is widely known that Watson and Crick worked together to uncover the famous double-helix. What is less widely known is that they built upon discoveries made by Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin. Wilkins and Franklin used x-rays to study DNA structure and shared their work with Watson and Crick. In fact, Wilkins shared the Nobel prize with Watson and Crick. Unfortunately, Rosalind Franklin passed away prior to receiving the 1962 award, so she was unable to see the fruits of her collaboration.
It is usually easier for people to think about collaboration in science and research, because the goal is discovery. In business, most people think it is much harder because there is a sense of having to guard intellectual property, protect profit, and maybe capitalize on first mover advantage. To some extent that it true, but there is also tremendous benefit from collaboration in business as well.
There are several examples in business as well, but I will only speak about my company, Harris Corporation. Harris has collaboration at is core – brothers Charles and Alfred Harris together invented an automated printing press feeder that led to the creation of the company in 1895. Two gentlemen named Homer Denius and George Shaw took their knowledge of telemetry and started a company called Radiation Inc. on the Space Coast in 1950. It would become part of Harris and provide the foundation for our electronics and space business areas, which have done some amazing things over the years.
It is truly my privilege to work at this great company they built, and in my role one of my priorities has been to break down silos and find ways that we can help one another out in our daily work. As Vice President and General Manager of Harris' Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) business, I have seen how our intelligence community (IC) customers have typically been very stovepiped from Department of Defense (DoD) customers, both of which have previously been completely separate from commercial customers. Those once-solid lines are now starting to blur.
Capabilities used by the IC to surveil our enemies is also being used to protect our warfighters by providing them time-critical information and imagery. Those same capabilities are also helping commercial customers measure changes in the carbon footprint of our planet and provide pictures from space to anyone that wants it. By turning the observation away from Earth into space, we are able to unlock mysteries about undiscovered planets, other life, and the origins of our universe. Commercial launch providers have also made space-based observation much more accessible for everyone.
Collaboration among all these entities has enabled the innovation to put a satellite the size of a carry-on suitcase into space, with the ability to see things on the scale of feet and meters. Collaboration has let us take an antenna with a five-meter diameter and compress it into the volume of a coffee can, so it can fit into that suitcase-sized satellite. We are able to see orders of magnitude farther to learn more about dark energy and even find potential landing spots on the moon and beyond.
Since we are talking about chemistry, some of you may be wondering where chemistry fits into all of this. At a basic level, it is vital to the innovation we have been talking about because of the harsh demands of the space environment.
One of the basic rules of putting things into orbit and keeping them there is that you need things to be very light but very strong, with space and volume at a premium. Through chemistry, we have been able to develop materials that are very light and very strong within a much smaller form factor.
Replicated composite optics is one example. Through composite optics, we are able to produce precision down to micron tolerances for optics that weigh roughly half as much as traditional glass, cost about half as much, and take roughly half the time to build.
Through collaboration and innovation, we have developed special materials that have near zero coefficient of thermal expansion. Additive manufacturing, polymeric materials, adhesive chemistry, and coating technology have spawned new materials, better antennas, and more capable sensors that can better survive space's harsh conditions.
When it's appropriate, we publish what we have discovered in the spirit of collaboration and open innovation to share our success in technical conferences and forums like these. Such discoveries help the broader community. As we will soon celebrate 50 years since humans first landed on the moon, these discoveries will build a foundation for our next giant leap.
Speaking of that next giant leap, the U.S. has set a goal of putting Americans back on the moon by 2024, with future goals of sustainable exploration to the surface of the moon and beyond. It is truly the dawn of a new great space age. I am proud to be part of a company that cultivates a fertile environment for collaboration and innovation.
Just as Ponce de Leon became the intrepid explorer, breaking down silos and applying innovation will be the key to this new great age of discovery.

Man arrested at home after chase
March 19, 2003
A Greeley man was arrested Tuesday afternoon after police found a stolen car involved in a high-speed chase parked in front of his house.
Arrested was Joe Anthony Gutierrez, 24, of 1416 15th Ave., Greeley. The car he is accused of driving was stolen Tuesday morning from a house in the 2300 block of 15th Street, about eight blocks from Gutierrez's home. He apparently had the car for about seven hours before he was arrested.
After the car was reported stolen, Greeley police sent out an alert to area police agencies with a description of the car, a 1982 blue Buick Regal.
It was spotted by Evans police officer Angi Quinn on Tuesday afternoon. When she tried to stop the car, the driver took off.
The chase went north on 8th Avenue into Greeley, reaching speeds of 65 mph on the crowded, slush-covered streets. After a short chase, Evans police called off the pursuit because it was too dangerous to continue. They stopped the chase just after the stolen car turned off 8th Avenue and was seen going west on 15th Street.
Although the chase was over, Greeley police had already responded to the area, and officers began looking for the car. They found it in the front yard of Guiterrez's house, a block north of Greeley Central High School.
Recommended Stories For You
Officers followed the tracks in the snow from the car to the back door of the house. They contacted Gutierrez, brought him outside, and compared the footprints in the snow to his running shoes, which he was still wearing.
Evans officer George Roosevelt said the prints matched, and Gutierrez was arrested by Greeley police for investigation of auto theft, being a habitual traffic offender and several traffic violations from the chase.
Evans police will also seek charges against Gutierrez, who is being held in the Weld County Jail.

Aesthetic Lasers Blog
8 Jun
Bad economy continues to cause growth in aesthetic medicine: the use of Botox and anti-wrinkle dermal fillers is on the rise, and physicians are looking for extra income by offering non-invasive treatments. Many patients are looking for inexpensive alternatives to cosmetic surgeries and good deals. But cheap may not work in this field.
We hear from many aesthetic physicians that diluting Botox vials and dermal fillers to save costs has become a wide spread practice among non-medical providers advertising prices below the actual cost. This is a bad way to save money for patients and an extremely dangerous way for providers to cut costs.
Bad treatments and improper use of botulinum toxin (Botox, BTXA, Dysport, Myobloc, Neurobloc and Xeomin) and dermal fillers, such as Restylane, Juvederm, Sculptra, Zyderm and Zyplast, Bio-Alcamid, etc., can lead to exaggerated or droopy arches, uneven brows, drop of the lip, impaired speech, drooling or worse. A Botox party or a deep discount at a spa may cost double or triple to repair a cheap injection.
Watch this news report from Texas about the dangers of dermal fillers.

I have advocated Israel leave the UN. Its absurd for the Jewish State to have its national interest subordinated to countries that hate it and seek to destroy it. It would far better for Israel to take the initiative in creating a League Of Democracies. This naturally puts the undemocratic nations out in the cold. But its a direction vitally needed for a more sane and peaceful world - which the UN can never bring about.ReplyDelete
The U.S. should not only leave the UN, but remove this agglomeration of Islamic and other garbage countries from its territory. The Saudi Arabian desert might be a place that would be less attractive to the freeloading garabage "diplomats" that live the high life on US-furnished funds in New York.
Israel, treated like a despised Jew by the Islamic and other garbage countries, could follow suit, but, as Norman F holds, preferably should lead the way.
Fat chance that the US will abandon and expel the UN under the present regime in Washington.
I agree that Israel (and America) should leave the U.N. and start a league of Democracy, but I also would like to argue that true freedom and Democracy can not be ruled through Internationalism.
there is a place for something like the U.N., but it's place is not to condemn nations they don't like. the U.N. should be a place where Multi National treaties can be made, but these treaties need to be unanimous. example might be a treaty to ban a harmful chemical, but if the treaty is breached then the treaty should be voided for all. the idea is to have mutual interest that countries can share that puts no burden on any party because all committed benefit.
There should be no leagues of any kind.
Their very nature makes them wrong since they violate G-d's command that Israel should remain separte from the nations and live alone.
Nimrod tried to gather the world in a "league". It was evil then, it is evil now.
The best time to have turned its back on the UN was after 9/11 when it became painfully clear that it did not serve American security to remain inside itReplyDelete
Like others here, I have long said that Israel and the USA should lead the way - leave the UN, expell it from NY and instead establish an alliance of human-rights respecting, freedom-loving nations.
The ultimate goal is for this alliance to be guided by Israel, but Israel has a long way to go before it is able to fulfil this role based on its God given mission.
Meanwhile let the UN move to Saudi Arabia or somewhere else that represents the dictatorship majority.

Watch the new Hollyoaks storm week trailer
Get a sneak preview of the chaos ahead
Hollyoaks has released a brand new trailer teasing the devastation and destruction ahead for storm week, as the village is hit by a freak weather event that puts lives in danger and causes all sorts of chaos against the backdrop of Ste Hay and Harry Thompson's wedding day.
The clip shows the wind picking up as the outdoor ceremony takes place, with James Nightingale threatening to expose his affair with Harry in the most public way possible. Also out to ruin the big day is Ste's ex Sinead O'Connor, marking the much-discussed return of Stephanie Davis to the cast three years after she left amidst reports of unruly behaviour on set.
Sinead hitches a lift to the nuptials with Sami Maalik, but the end of the trailer shows the pair have hit something in his car – but who, or what, are they looking at as they gasp in horror at something approaching?
Romeo Quinn and Lily McQueen are caught in the disaster as he declares his love for his best friend's wife out on the jetty as rain lashes down, while Tegan Lomax desperately searches for missing daughter Rose who is glimpsed hiding in the Hutch restaurant, terrified.
At one point, Tony Hutchinson shouts: "Look out!" while he calls the emergency services, and we see someone trapped underwater with their leg caught on a rope – it's not a Hollyoaks stunt week without at least one death, so could any of the above characters be a casualty of the storm?
The action kicks off this Friday 19 October on E4 and continues all next week.

Telecom operators added a record 21.9 million subscribers on a net basis in March, with the top three operators adding more than 23 million users.
Telecom operators added a record 21.9 million subscribers on a net basis in March, with the top three operators adding more than 23 million users. The performance in March is the best for the industry in over a year. According to COAI data, operators added 10.8 million net subscribers in February. In a dismal performance in January 2018, the industry lost 1.2 million subscribers. March numbers are more than double of that achieved a month earlier.
Idea Cellular topped the chart by adding 9.14 million subscribers, its best in almost two years, followed by Bharti Airtel at 8.4 million and Vodafone India at 5.64 million. In total, these three operators added 23.1 million subscribers, but as Telenor lost 1.31 million, the total net numbers came down to 21.9 million for the month. Another interesting development during the month was that Idea for the second consecutive month had the highest subscriber additions. It added 4.42 million subscribers in February.
Since January 2017, net subscriber additions declined four times. Besides January 2018, when the industry lost 1.2 million subscribers, July, August and September witnessed loss of 3.8 million, 6.4 million and 2 million subscribers, respectively. Operators added 5.2 million during January 2017, 2.3 million in February, 5.7 million in March, 2.3 million in April, 2 million in June, 3.1 million in October and 8.3 million in November.
Analysts attributed high additions to shutting down of operations by players such as Aircel, Reliance Communications and Telenor. Subscribers of such operators have been porting out to other service providers. Aircel did not report the subscriber numbers for February and March. The COAI also does not report the latest numbers for Reliance Jio and Reliance Communications.
Higher additions in February and March clearly indicate that small operators are losing subscribers in large numbers as they are shutting operations or are in the process of merging with larger ones, and the next few months could see a similar trend, analysts said.
During the January-March quarter, the industry on a net basis added 31.54 million subscribers. Among individual operators, Bharti continues to hold the top spot in March with 29.37% subscriber market share and a count of 304.2 million. It was followed by Vodafone, which ended the month with 222.70 million subscribers and a market share of 21.50%. Idea's total subscriber count stood at 211.2 million and the company controlled 20.39% of the market.
Among circles, the UP (East) continued at the top with 89.47 million subscriber addition.

By Ashley Skowronek
The Department of Art and Art History welcomed a renowned art educator on Wednesday, April 13, as part of the 2015-2016 Visiting Scholar Series. The presentation guided viewers through empirical illumination by observing formal, thematic and contextual qualities palpable in works of art.
Artist Renee Sandell discussed the decoding and encoding of art by identifying how the work "is," what the work is about and when, where, by whom and why the work was created or valued.
"It's the connection between them that is really important," Sandell said.
"The Great Wave Off Kanagawa," by Katsushika Hokusai, remains an iconic piece in today's culture through its innumerable reproductions in art, fashion and jewelry. But much more significance lies behind the Japanese illustration of massive, cresting ocean waves.
"I suggest we use FTC (form, theme and context) to get deeper into the meaning of the work and why it's meaningful to us," Sandell said.
Pattern, rhythm and the contrast of positive and negative spaces can be used to interpret art conceived during this time in Japanese culture. The piece delves into the "big idea" of nature overpowering man and other themes that mark water as a major force humans must overcome.
Hokusai's art can be directly related to thematic plots in films, such as "Jaws," "The Perfect Storm" and "Life of Pi," as well as literary works, like "Moby Dick," "The Odyssey" and "The Old Man and the Sea." Similar to "The Great Wave," these contemporary stories incorporate ways of intensifying our cognizance of the power of nature.
While the contextual elements in the piece are related to environmental disasters, global warming and political crises, the art also symbolizes passion for unremitting problem solving and letting go.
Sandell made the comparison of looking at art to eating an artichoke. One cannot simply pick up an artichoke and eat it. However, through perseverance, you ultimately will get past the hard outer layers and reach the soft, palatable heart.
That is the true essence of the piece, according to Sandell.
"The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes — in seeing the universe through the eyes of another, one hundred others — in seeing the hundred universes that each of them sees," Sandell said, referencing prose from French novelist Marcel Proust. This ideology encompassed the collective motif of the presentation.
"Use FTC to make meaningful connections, not separate them," Sandell said.
Sandell's illustrious career includes serving as a professor of art education at George Mason University and Maryland Institute College of Art, co-authoring two books based on gender issues present in art education and receiving the 2013 National Art Educator of the Year Award through the National Art Educator Association.

Reaping ROI from Social Strategies
Facebook and other social media platforms have emerged as an important consumer shopping resource that CE retailers can't ignore. A recent CEA survey found that eight out of 10 social media users who researched electronics prior to purchase found Facebook and other social sites useful in helping them make buying decisions. A quarter of all social media users, and two-thirds of users who spend more than 13.5 hours a week on social sites, said they always or almost always refer to the sites before buying CE products.
CE Retailers See Benefits
While not everyone has figured out the perfect strategy for their business, successful retailers understand the value of social media and the important role it plays in engaging customers and building relationships with them. But there is no magic bullet. Retailers and retail experts say a viable social media strategy is about knowing your customers and finding the right message and medium to engage them. It's also about gaining insights into consumer interests, intentions, motivations and perceptions by looking at what they say and do on Facebook and other social platforms.
"The importance of social media is that consumers can access it when they want," said Jeff Pearson, senior vice president of marketing for hhgregg, the Indianapolis-based chain with more than 200 stores in 17 states. "When you come to our website and our stores, we show you all the different ways you can stay connected with hhgregg, whether that means signing up for a rewards account, getting on our email list, liking us on Facebook, following us on Twitter or joining our Pinterest section. We want to engage with consumers however they want to engage with us and we want to be important in all those channels."

San Bernardino terrorist wife Tashfeen Malik PLEDGED ALLEGIANCE to ISIS online.
Syed Farook and his wife Tashfeen Malik destroyed all of their digital footprints one day before their planned terrorist attack.
Now this…
The Obama administration nixed a federal investigation into California jihadists.
They didn't want to violate their civil liberties.
The Hill reported:
There are terrorists in our midst and they arrived here using legal means right under the noses of the federal law enforcement agencies whose mission is to stop them. That is not due to malfeasance or lack of effort on the part of these officers; it is due to the restrictions placed on them by the Obama administration.
Advertisement - story continues below
I was a firsthand witness to how these policies deliberately prevented scrutiny of Islamist groups. The two San Bernardino jihadists, Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik, may have benefited from the administration's closure of an investigation I initiated on numerous groups infiltrating radicalized individuals into this country.
While working for the Department of Homeland Security for 13 years, I identified individuals affiliated with large, but less well-known groups such as Tablighi Jamaat and the larger Deobandi movement freely transiting the United States. At the National Targeting Center, one of the premier organizations formed to "connect the dots," I played a major role in an investigation into this trans-national Islamist network. We created records of individuals, mosques, Islamic Centers and schools across the United States that were involved in this radicalization effort. The Dar Al Uloom Al Islamiyah Mosque in San Bernardino was affiliated with this network and we had identified a member of it in our investigation. Farook frequented that mosque and was well-known to the congregation and mosque leadership.
TRENDING: LIVE STREAM VIDEO: President Donald Trump vs. Joe Biden in First Presidential Debate 9 PM ET -- 90 Minutes and NO Breaks
Another focus of my investigation was the Pakistani women's Islamist group al-Huda, which counted Farook's wife, Tashfeen Malik, as a student. While the al-Huda International Welfare Foundation distanced themselves from the actions of their former pupil, Malik's classmates told the Daily Mail she changed significantly while studying at al-Huda, gradually becoming "more serious and strict." More ominously, the group's presence in the U.S. and Canada is not without its other ties to ISIS and terrorism. In 2014, three recent former students at al-Huda's affiliate school in Canada, aged 15 to 18, left their homes to join the Islamic State in Syria.
We had these two groups in our sights; if the investigation had continued and additional links been identified and dots connected, we might have given advance warning of the terrorist attack in San Bernardino. The combination of Farook's involvement with the Dar Al Uloom Al Islamiyah Mosque and Malik's attendance at al-Huda would have indicated, at minimum, an urgent need for comprehensive screening. It could also have led to denial of Malik's K-1 visa or possibly gotten Farook placed on the No Fly list.

But after more than six months of research and tracking; over 1,200 law enforcement actions and more than 300 terrorists identified; and a commendation for our efforts; DHS shut down the investigation at the request of the Department of State and DHS' own Civil Rights and Civil Liberties Division. They claimed that since the Islamist groups in question were not Specially Designated Terrorist Organizations (SDTOs) tracking individuals related to these groups was a violation of the travelers' civil liberties.

As the housing sector makes a steady recovery, 20.6 million households must pay more than half their household income on housing, a record high, according to a new report from the Harvard Research Center.

Released by Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies The State of The Nation's Housing 2013 finds that rising home prices and growing demand are driving the housing recovery, but that long-term vacancies, delinquent mortgages, and home ownership rates show that not everyone is benefiting from the recovery.*

Increased Vaping among Teens Raises Serious Health Concerns
More eighth-, 10th- and 12th-grade students are vaping marijuana and nicotine, according to the recent Monitoring the Future (MTF) survey conducted by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. One of the most disturbing statistics is during the month prior to the survey, high school seniors vaping marijuana increased from 7.5 percent one year ago to 14 percent. In addition, rates nearly doubled in the past two annual surveys among teenagers vaping marijuana at least once during the previous year. The latest responses to this survey question are 7% of eighth graders, 19.4% of 10th graders and 20.8% of 12th graders. This is an alarming trend as vaping marijuana, as well as nicotine, are harmful to individuals' lungs and for youth, there is an additional risk of adverse effects of marijuana in the brain that could lead to cognitive deficiencies (for example, difficulty concentrating, which could negatively affect school performance) and development of depression and other mental health disorders.
"It is extremely troubling that many people, especially youth, mistakenly believe that vaping marijuana and nicotine is not harmful," said Debra L. Wentz, PhD, President and CEO of the New Jersey Association of Mental Health and Addiction Agencies, Inc. "The technology aspect of vaping and the flavored nicotine may be factors that led to e-cigarettes being used by youth more than traditional cigarettes and alcohol," Dr. Wentz added, referring to the MTF survey findings that teenagers' use of alcohol and regular cigarettes have significantly declined. The researchers also discovered decreased use of hard drugs among teenagers.
"Education in schools and public awareness campaigns through social media are needed to inform students of the dangers associated with vaping," Dr. Wentz stressed.

With my magic glasses, I can see,
My life changing in front of me,
My Mother and Father together again,
My brother is healthy and happy.
My sister, with a husband longer than five years,
Me living peacefully and shedding no more tears,
My brother winning top honors in his class,
My parents never fighting over a whiskey glass.
Me on a stage dancing away,
With a job I love
With music that makes me sway
But when I take my glasses off,
All my fantasies slowly fade
All my tears start down again
As I look at my crumbled world
It all seems to be but a dream.
My Brother still sick and not himself,
My Sister choosing men like clothes,
My parents fighting away their lives,
Me striving hard too at least change mine.
No Stories yet, You can be the first!
With My Magic Glasses, I Can See

Quartararo upgraded to 2019-spec Yamaha
MotoGP rookie Fabio Quartararo has been upgraded to a 2019-spec Yamaha for his debut premier class season with the newly-formed Petronas SRT outfit.
The Petronas team, which replaces Tech 3 as Yamaha's B-team in 2019, had originally planned to put Moto2 graduate Quartararo on a 'B-spec' year-old bike this season.
However, a late decision has been made by Yamaha to supply its new satellite operation with two 2019 machines for its first premier class campaign, meaning Quartararo joins teammate Franco Morbidelli in having the current bike at his disposal.
Morbidelli will still be prioritised for upgrades being handed down by the factory, the Italian set to receive upgrades two races after they are debuted by works pair Valentino Rossi and Maverick Vinales.
Quartararo will also have fewer engines to use over the course of the season than Morbidelli, with slightly reduced rpm to extend their life.
"That Fabio will have a 2019-spec Yamaha is a very good sign, and indicates Yamaha's mindset," team manager Wilco Zeelenberg told Motorsport.com. "It's something that has surprised even Petronas.
"It relates to the engine and other components, in addition to the upgrades. Fabio's engines will be a bit more limited than those of the others, but that is normal because he is in his first year and has to adapt to the category."
Morbidelli and Quartararo both made a strong impression in post-season testing last year at Valencia and Jerez, Morbidelli ending up sixth overall in both tests.
On the opening day of 2019 running on Wednesday in Sepang, Morbidelli was 12th-fastest, eight tenths slower than pacesetter Marc Marquez, while Quartararo placed 18th.
"These results would have been impossible without Yamaha, which from the first day has been helping us," added Zeelenberg. "In Valencia and Jerez there were 10 engineers from the factory in our workshop.
"Petronas is not here to survive, to let the years go by. It has entered the championship the way it did in order to win."

No matter how stable your application is, security, scalability and application changes are serious challenges if you're not following best practices in managing infrastructure. At Stack Builders, our developers have used many different systems for managing infrastructure, including CFEngine, Puppet, NixOS, and Ansible.
Essentially, all of these tools help to manage infrastructure by providing a declarative language for the state of your systems. This declarative language allows you to see and change systems using a higher-level language, and the configuration management system puts your new policy in place.
Configuration management systems help with making changes to systems, and also provide an auditing tool so that you can answer the important questions about who is changing your systems, when the change was made, and why changes were made. You can also use configuration management systems to determine if any manual changes were made outside of the system, which improves security and gives you another significant auditing tool for your organization.
Of the common configuration management systems - CFEngine, Puppet, NixOS and Ansible, we have chosen to provide consulting services in NixOS and Ansible. Ansible is currently the best mainstream option for configuration management, and we feel that NixOS is going to be, or inspire, the best-in-class configuration management system of the next ten years.
Contact us if you're interested in Ansible consulting for your existing or new application.

Cape Town - Pakistan and WAPDA seamer Mohammad Asif was relieved to
learn that the ICC has no qualms about him returning to international cricket
after he served his ban for his part in the 2010 spot-fixing scandal.
The ICC issued a statement in response to Asif's claim that
the body could possibly have issued an instruction to the PCB not to select
Asif slammed Pakistan's fast bowlers in a spectacular rant
to the media last week and said he would write to the ICC to find out if they
were blocking his selection.
An ICC spokesperson told Pakistani publication the Express
Tribune: "All the three players became eligible to return to domestic and
international cricket after their bans expired in September 2015.
"The ICC has not asked the member board [PCB] to not select
them or any one of the three players since they completed the sanctions. It is
solely on the discretion of the member board to select these players."
Asif would tell the same publication that he was relieved to
hear there was no question of him being blacklisted.
The seamer said: "I was very concerned about my future when
these rumours surfaced.
"That was affecting my performance because I was confused.
Now I am clear [on the issue] and will focus completely on my bowling. I have
plenty of cricket left in me and will continue to work hard for a return to the
national team."
Asif has taken 12 wickets in three completed Quaid-e-Azam
Trophy matches this season and is wicketless through 23 overs in WAPDA's on-going
clash with Sui Southern Gas.
Along with Asif and Mohammad Amir the third player banned
for involvement in the 2010 spot fixing scandal Salman Butt has also spoken out
about his determination to work his way back into the Pakistan team.
Butt told the Express Tribune: "I was in contention for the
World T20 and then the England tour.
"This means there was no embargo on my selection from the
ICC. I have not contemplated contacting the ICC over my selection and neither
have I given any such statement. I am aware that only a good performance in
domestic cricket will make my case for a return to the national side and that's
what I am doing."
An official with the PCB has reportedly said that the duo will
not be eligible for selection until they have completed a full domestic
The official is quoted as saying: "Chief selector [Inzamamul
Haq] had made it clear that the selection committee would like both Asif and
"Now since they are playing domestic events, their performances are being monitored just like any other player."

Step 1: Read the Questions and Instructions Properly
Candidates often miss out important information while appearing in the exams. This is a matter of big concern. So before starting the test, it is wise to read the instructions carefully. Multiple-choice tests known as 'distractors' provide answers options that are just like the right answer. In other words, these answers are designed to test if you read the information provided properly.
Step 2: Manage your Time Accordingly
The questions 1-10 in the logical reasoning tests are easier. So try to complete them under 1:20. This will provide you with extra time when you come to complex questions afterwards.
Step 3: Read the Stimulus carefully
In logical reasoning tests, you'll have to measure every word in question stem and the stimulus. Remember, test takers often read the answer quickly and gloss over the details that cause maximum errors.
Step 4: The topic of stimulus hardly matter
When it comes to questions related to science and other technical topics, it is important to remember when it comes to science questions. Put aside your like and dislike of the topic, rather see connections between the assumptions and conclusions. These questions are more simple than other questions. So, it's better to ignore the topic and analyze the connection between the conclusion and evidence.
Step 5: Remove all words that are not relevant to the argument
Not all words in the stimulus are important. You need to deal with those words that make up the evidence and conclusion. The opening lines of the stimulus are neither proof nor confusion, it was just the introduction of the argument.
Step 6: Study Smarter
When you start marking down your answers on practice questions, make sure to distinguish between the questions you are sure of the answers and those you are simply guessing. If you are not sure 100% about the correct answers, you can mark it with '/.' Even if you are confused between A and B, you could mark it as A/B.
Step 7: Try not to include diagrams too often in Logical Reasoning Questions
Many candidates think that including a diagram is a good idea and can be linked in some way. Some of the categories where you can prefer using diagrams are - Parallel Reasoning questions, Must be true Questions and Assumption Questions. When you become more familiar with the questions of Logical Reasoning, you won't feel the need of adding diagram more often.
