People complain of experiencing performance issues while using Microsoft Dynamics CRM; this is because, in the quest for improved functionality, they have compromised performance by carrying out changes without thinking of the repercussions on the application.
Commonly, performance is the aspect that is least thought about during the planning and designing stage. People are generally more interested in having a hassle-free deployment process than in how the application will be utilized.

Common causes of performance issues in Microsoft Dynamics 365 / CRM
1) The Network or The Internet Connection is Slow
When CRM is slow, it is not always a problem with CRM itself. Check to see how other applications are responding. If your CRM is hosted online or partner-hosted, it may just be an issue with the network bandwidth.
2) Running Heavy Reports
Heavy reports create a workload on the database resources. They use queries that look into the database to fetch the required data or record and sometimes queries are poorly written.
3) Improper Backup Plan and Schedule
If the CRM is slow at a particular time of the day, it could be because the database backup is scheduled to run at that particular period, the reason being that backups take a lot of server resources while running in the background.

4) Bad CRM Configuration and Complex Process Flows
As most of us know, having too many workflows and processes can have an adverse effect on CRM; a common one is a performance issue. It is advisable to disable all unnecessary plug-ins to reduce background processes to the minimum.
The more information you have on forms and views, the more time it takes for the form or view to load.
5) Insufficient Client and Server Resources
One major cause of performance issue in Dynamics CRM is insufficient resources like, low memory, high CPU usage and inadequate disk space. Any server or client running CRM must be using the recommended hardware and software.
Imagine a scenario whereby, a user tries accessing Dynamics CRM and fetching a heavy report via a browser on a system with 512MB memory. As expected, the browser will freeze while the task manager tries to release resources from other processes.
6) Database Fragmentation
As data is modified in a database, the tables and their indexes become fragmented. This makes data retrieval and queries very slow and tasking thereby reducing the overall performance of the application.
So How Can Dynamics CRM Be Optimized?
Develop a performance plan right from the analysis and planning stage of the deployment:
Consider the number of users who will access the application. Are the users light users or heavy who that will perform intensive tasks on CRM, such as reporting?
Because reports tend to use a large amount of database resources, if there will be need for heavy reports, you should identify the frequency and draw out a plan to address it during the planning phase.
You have the option to either make use of out-of-the-box reports or create a reporting server that you connect to your CRM application.
Perform Database Indexing
The less fragmented a database is, the faster data can be retrieved from the database.
Indexing works by reducing the number of records that need to be searched on a table when performing a database query.
Indexes in tables are then rebuilt and reorganized by creating new pages as needed.
Indexing is best done when there is not much workload on Dynamics, as a huge amount of server resources are used in carrying out the operation.
Avoid the Use of Custom Codes
A custom code is any functionality that is integrated into an application without any plan for updating or fixing it in the near future.
A custom code might be written by you or might be open source code acquired from the internet.
It is therefore better to make use of business rules that come from Microsoft, if possible, as custom codes make heavy use of resources.
Check Client Settings
On the client, use recommended browsers, check your antivirus program, and run a disk cleanup and other maintenance utilities.
Check your network bandwidth to avoid running heavy programs while using CRM.
Enable Trace Logging and Event Viewer
You can use Windows Event Viewer and also enable trace logging, using PowerShell on the server, for debugging. Checking error log files goes a long way in troubleshooting performance problems.
Dynamics 365 and CRM 2016 trace log
It now comes with the plug-in trace log functionality, which can be found in Customization under Settings. However, it is disabled by default and needs to be enabled from the Settings ->Administration ->System Settings->Customization tab.
There are many benefits of having optimized performance, some of which are:
- Efficiency in attending to customer requests and issues.
- Increase in company revenue as your staffs are able to meet their targets at rational time.
- Easy access to information on CRM whenever it is needed.
- Productivity is boosted when it is fast and smooth to use.
When you have an optimally performing CRM, you will be able to appreciate its flexibility and potential in meeting your organization's goals and needs.

A website for young people in Croydon Wandsworth, Kingston, Richmond, Sutton and Merton has been given a makeover
Teens aged between 13 & 19 will now find it easier to access important information about their mental health and well-being.
The Getting It On website offers free and confidential advice to support those wanting to make informed decisions.
Councillor Louisa Woodley, cabinet member for families, health and social care says:
"Getting It On is south-west London's online one-stop shop to help young people navigate some of life's ups and downs during their teenage years. At this time in their life they can often feel overwhelmed with a range of issues affecting them, such as their body image, fashion trends, exams and being bullied. It's really important for them to know who to turn to for the most appropriate and up-to-date information for their age group.
We have joined-up resources across south-west London to ensure that this information is consistent and current for all our youngsters. This approach also means that we can simplify structures and provide a range of accessible services that support children and young people to make healthier and confident choices as they approach adulthood."
Belinda Houghton, Account Manager at The Creative Team, says:
"We have worked closely with the six London boroughs for over eight years now on the Getting It On website. In this latest redesign, we have really tried to create a website that is informative, dynamic and appealing to young people, and the perfect place for local services to showcase what they offer in an easy-to-use way."

NTIA Seeks DTV Partners
Show me the money. Essentially that was the message from the man in charge of coming up with a plan to keep analog-only broadcast viewers from being left behind in the transition to digital.
John Kneuer, Acting assistant secretary of Commerce for Communications & information for the National Telecommunications & Information Agency, stressed to a Washington media crowd Thursday that the transition to digital would be arguably the biggest communications sea change ever, bigger than the switch to color TV, he said, "with more immediate impact" than anything he had ever experienced in his communications career.
He pointed out, in his speech to the Media Institute in Washington, that Congress has only given NTIA $5 million for a public-education campaign. He told the crowd they knew better than anyone how far that would go, which isn't far, and said the industries whose viewers will be affected have to pitch in big time. He said he welcomes all the help he can get.
Asked whether he could use some of the $100 million directed to administration of the subsidy for that education campaign, he said no, the statute was clear that no more than $5 million could go to education.
Kneuer said he had personal experience with viewers whose signals got suddenly yanked. He said that in another life he had had to try and negotiate a dispute between Disney, who he was working for, and Time Warner over cable carriage in New York. After negotiating "furiously" over a weekend, the ABC signal was pulled. The New York Post and Daily News carried pictures of Mickey Mouse with a line through him, and the New York Times had nuns weeping in the streets over missing Michael J.Fox's farewell to Spin City. "That was one station and one day," he said, "but it was pretty much as if the world had come to an end."
NTIA is the administration's spectrum policy adviser, so one of the questions--from former FCC Chairman James Quello--was NTIA's position on allowing unlicensed wireless devices in the broadcast band, which is part of a massive telecom rewrite bill being marked up Thursday in the Senate Commerce Committee.
Kneuer pointed out that the government had allowed such devices in spectrum used for sensitive defense applications, so he thought the FCC could find a way to make it work in the broadcast band.
Kneuer said that NTIA had no current plans to revive its studies on minority ownership, pointing out budget constraints and that the FCC has most of that data.
Kneuer said he had received his first request for a $40 coupon for a converter box, postmarked from a prison. He said he wasn't sure whether a cell qualified as a household or not.

text: This month's edition amply displays how two of the maritime market's driving forces — technology and legislation — simultaneously clash, meld and otherwise work together and apart to dictate the look, design and outfitting of ships and boats of tomorrow. The marine market, which has often and unfairly been labeled conservative, is embracing many sweeping changes, which are designed to enhance safety and operational efficiency. As usual, the impetus for change has been an unsightly and costly — both in terms of sullied beaches, animals as well as tarnished reputations — casualty. In this instance, the name Erika is being thrown about with the same invective as Valdez was more than a decade ago; a name that is sure to become synonymous with the drive for safer ships. Last month the Alliance of Maritime Regional Interest in Europe (AMRIE) presented a series of recommendations aimed at improving levels of oil tanker safety in response to recent Commission proposals on the safety of the seaborne oil trade. The AMRIE paper specifically calls for maritime "black boxes" to be fitted to all existing cargo ships, thus exceeding the IMO suggestion of outfitting new ships only. While it is relatively impossible to find a shipowner/operator who would publicly denounce a sweeping safety measure in the aftermath of a highly publicized, politically and emotionally charged disaster, it is fair to say that this-bottom line conscious group will be none too pleased with the latest development, considering the anticipated price range per ship will be between $75,000 and $150,000. Regardless of the outcome of AMRIE's suggestion, it is clear that the safety bar — rightfully so — has been raised another notch.

The impression gained from Bondexpo in Stuttgart and K-2013 in Düsseldorf is that this year, trade fair visitors are noticeably well-prepared and targeted in their questioning.
The latest generations of sensors, control units, motors and sub-assemblies are required to be increasingly robust, yet at the same time, cheaper to produce. This conflict-of-interest is driving the use of new materials and production processes; To satisfy these requirements, manufacturers are gluing inside of screwing and using more affordable plastics instead of metals.
Surface pretreatment with plasma is the ideal tool for overcoming problems associated with glued joints. The Openair-Plasma® process can reproduce the characteristics of adhesion promoters through activation or coating.

One of my favourite thing to do during a vacation is to sneak in some sort of adrenaline-pumping activity as I'm addicted to the thrill of an adrenaline rush. There were originally plans for me to embark on a white water rafting adventure down the mighty Telaga Waja River; however, at the last minute, I decided to eschew any forms of adventure and simply enjoy Bali in peace and solitude. A quick search on the internet brought my attention to the breath-taking Campuhan Ridge, which takes one into the beautiful and unspoiled rice fields of Ubud. I was sold. There is no better way to enjoy Ubud other than to take in the idyllic sights of its countryside that is still relatively undisturbed by tourism.
The hike to Campuhan Ridge begins at the entrance of the Warwick Ibah Luxury Villas & Spa, where you should spot a sign stating that it takes 2km to trek up to the famous Karsa Kafe (a restaurant that overlooks a beautiful rice field, also known as the pitstop for most hikers).
The trail will also take you past the historical Gunung Lebah Temple, which was constructed in the 8th century by Danghyang Markandya, the man who was believed to have introduced Hinduism to the island of Bali.
The spectacular view that greets me on New Year's Day 🙂 The hike was pretty easy and leisure (not much of a challenge for those who are looking for a workout), and I would highly recommend anyone to do it early morning before the afternoon sun comes out. Plus, if you are lucky, you might just get parts of the trail all to yourself!
Along the way, I also met a female painter, Wayan, who brought me on a mini tour to her family's art studio and introduced me to the miniature painting techniques that are required for egg painting. I might be no professional painter but I do enjoy dabbling in arts & craft during my leisure time, so it was such a privilege for me to be able to observe an artist at work. In fact, I have crazy dreams of taking a mini sabbatical to head to Bali and pick up a painting/ art course. Just for the fun of it. Call me a professional dreamer!
Haven't your parents often tell you not to enter into a stranger's house? Well, I guess I broke the rule. It was along the rocky path beyond Karsa Kafe that I suddenly caught a glimpse of a "hanging" wooden bridge in the midst of the green foliage. Curious, I decided to peep around when an elderly man shouted to invite me to his humble abode. Throwing caution to the wind, I decided to venture beyond the bridge and was surprised to be greeted by the sight of a wooden tree-house! I ❤ tree-houses!
Despite the language barrier, the elderly man tried his best in making me feel at home by sharing with me pictures of his family and playing musical tunes on the traditional Balinese instrument (I think it was the gamelan). The house was built single-handedly by him and it provides a great respite for anyone who wanted to escape from the hustle and bustle of main street Ubud.
This serendipitous encounter is just one of the many that I had during my first solo trip in Bali and I know that such personal experiences would not have been possible, had I been travelling with others (especially with cautious friends)! I guess that's the reason why so many people have opted to travel solo once they caught the bug … You end up making more friends and creating authentic experiences! 🙂

Inthis article, we present a method for segmenting images that use a colour percep-tion graph. Our algorithm is inspired by graph cut segmentation techniques andit use an edge detection technique for filtering the graph before the graph-cut aswell as merging segments as a final step. We also present both qualitative andquantitative results, which show that our algorithm perform at slightly better andfaster to a state of the art algorithm.

Today's blurb from the good people* at Proctor and Gamble via their Home Made Simple website and email.
Get the school year off to a good start and surprise teachers with one of our 16 simple handmade gift ideas.
I really do want to know what you think. I am especially interested in customs and social norms outside of the United States. So what do you think?
- Is it appropriate to give a gift at the start of school?
- Or would you wait until the end of school** (as I do)?
- Or skip it altogether?
- Or would you stick to the teacher's published "wishlist" of office & classroom supplies?
** I've blogged about making teachers' gifts many times previously. Most recently, I transformed some boxy math meet t-shirts into a more fitted and feminine style for several of the math teachers who volunteered their time to mentor the team. When the Pattern Magic book came out in English, I purchased them again and gave the Japanese language edition to the teacher that teaches both Geometry .and. Japanese.

Gateway buys more satellite capacity
Wholesale telecoms carrier Gateway Communications has signed new contracts with SES for capacity on its NSS-703 satellite at 313 degrees East and its NSS-5 and NSS-7 satellites positioned at 340 degrees East.
Gateway says the additional capacity will allow it to expand its business with mobile network operators (MNOs) and internet service providers (ISPs) on the African continent.
"Satellite connectivity remains a core tool in connecting our customers to each other and to the rest of the world. As sub-sea cables bring more capacity to the coast of Africa, investing in satellite and building terrestrial networks have a great future across Africa." said Phil Braden, COO for Gateway Communications.
"MNOs and ISPs face infrastructure issues in Africa due to the vast territories to be covered and this is where satellite coverage is used to alleviate some of the mobile backhaul limitations," says Ibrahima Guimba-Saidou, Vice President and General Manager, of SES for Africa.
SES currently has eight satellites serving the African continent, with a further two planned for launch during the course of 2012.

Rinaldi and Ducati MotoGP™ riders working together to tame their red beasts
BARNI Racing Team rider did some motocross with Andrea Dovizioso and Danilo Petrucci as training during the off-season
The 2019 MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship season is about to begin, but riders are not taking any rest before heading Down Under for the season opener which will be held in Australia from 22nd-24th February.
Apart from working on every single detail of their bikes, they have been taking care of every single aspect of themselves over the winter. From intensive training sessions in the gym, to long ride cycling on the roads, skiing and even a bit of hiking, riders have been working on improving their strength, concentration and of course, increasing their riding skills.
Returning to Italy after four busy days of testing at Jerez and Portimao with the all-new Ducati Panigale V4 R of the BARNI Racing Team, Michael Rinaldi was still eager to ride and joined fellow Ducati MotoGP™ riders Andrea Dovizioso and Danilo Petrucci, and Italian Moto2™ riders Enea Bastianini and Alessandro Zaccone for a few more laps on a motocross bike.
In good company @AndreaDovizioso @Petrux9 @michaelrinaldi_ Alessandro Zac Zaccone pic.twitter.com/lfeVcdrXlc— enea bastianini 33 (@eneabastianini) 31 de enero de 2019

In your exhaustion, you sit and think about how you need to get rid of all the clutter that is increasing your stress and decreasing your productivity. As you begin thinking about each cluttered area, it is so easy to talk yourself into keeping something.
You start daydreaming about what you MIGHT use it for.
You think about the fact that you paid money for it, or perhaps invested a lot of time in creating it.
I find myself doing this too. Let's both remember to quickly remind ourselves that holding onto it isn't going to give us back our time or money. Let's also assign a new value to it. We may have invested X number of dollars into it, but if we are not using it anymore then there is no value. Let's get started with a plan for where all that clutter is going to go when you begin to purge.
This blog post will…
- guide you through the process of creating a set of rules to help you start emptying your drawers, cabinets, and shelves
- assist you in letting go of the feeling that you are obligated to keep something because it has sentimental value, you spent your own money on it, you may need it in the future, or you don't know what to do with it
- equip you with a plan that will increase productivity and decrease stress
Before we begin:
Tips for Before You Start
- When you are purging you will want to move quickly and not overthink your actions. Having a set of non-negotiable rules for escorting an item out of your space will allow you to purge swiftly.
- Say it with me… It is okay to let things go that no longer serve you.
- Would somebody else use and appreciate it? If so then it would have more value to them and you can pass it along otherwise it should be trashed, recycled or sold.
- The Classroom Organization Bundle includes a poster to help you. The rules are written in a question format, but I recommend writing your rules as statements when you write them.
This resource can be found here:
Classroom Organization Made Easy Bundle
Classroom Organization Made Easy Bundle
How to Make a Set of Rules
- Write or type your rules for accountability purposes.
- Keep them in a place where you can refer back to them as needed (e.g. folder on your laptop/computer, notes section of your iPad, or a piece of paper taped to the wall near your desk).
- Think about rules that align with your belief system and personal goals.
- Here are examples of rules that I have used: 1) I will throw it away if it is broken. 2) I will recycle it if it is available online. 3) I will donate it if I have not used it in the past year.

Update March 19, 2018
A new way to get started: Kick-start your blockchain network with the free beta release of the IBM Blockchain Platform Starter Plan.
Developers who are well versed in Blockchain are a rare breed, and it's a well-known fact that there is an industry shortage of developers with this skillset. That means if you're a developer with Blockchain experience, you can expect to see an abundance of opportunities coming your way.
For those of you without any formal Blockchain knowledge, there has never been a better time to get started, and you don't have to wait to become proficient. Here are five "how to" tips to follow to become well versed in one of the most lucrative, and in-demand areas of technology today:
1. Getting started with Blockchain.
The best way to get started with Blockchain is to make sure you are well versed in how it works and how it applies to business.
It works by recording the history of transactions, or asset transfers, in a hash-linked chain. The blockchain fosters trust, transparency, and accountability throughout the network.
Businesses in every industry are looking at new ways to incorporate Blockchain into their business transactions for efficiency, security, and accuracy.
Take, for example, the food industry. Issues impacting food safety such as contamination, food-borne illness, and waste are largely due to a lack of access to information and traceability. It can take weeks to identify the precise point of contamination, causing further illness, lost revenue and wasted product.
Blockchain is well suited to these types of challenges because it creates a trusted means of sharing information. In the case of food supply chain, all participants – growers, suppliers, processors, distributors, retailers, regulators and consumers – can gain access to the trusted information they need regarding the chain of custody from origin to retailer.
As a developer looking for a deeper understanding of how Blockchain applies to business, you can start by exploring some tutorials such as: Introduction to distributed ledgers, Blockchain use cases, and Blockchain quick-start guide for developers.
2. Taking advantage of Blockchain open source.
One of the reasons why it's so easy to start working with Blockchain today, even with minimal experience, is because of open source.
Using open source from start to finish, you can easily get started with using Blockchain.
Developers who need to get up to speed fast on Blockchain development, can access a variety of IBM code patterns. These patterns include open source code, documentation, APIs and more to help developers build better, faster, and smarter. Here are a few projects to get you started:
- Create a to-do list app using blockchain
- Deploy an asset-transfer app using blockchain.
- Create a blockchain app to display and interact with a network through a web interface
IBM also maintains a number of open source sample apps and blockchain-related capabilities such as our IBM Container Service sandbox.
The IBM Blockchain developer center is another very useful resource for learning about Blockchain technology. There are free tools, tons of tutorials, blogs, and samples there, and new content is added almost daily.
Collaboration is key when it comes to open source. You can meet and collaborate with other Blockchain developers in the Hyperledger community and begin to solve complex, real world problems that will propel your success as a Blockchain developer.
3. Using Hyperledger Composer.
To succeed as a Blockchain developer, you will want to familiarize yourself with Hyperledger Composer.
Hyperledger Composer is an application development framework that simplifies and expedites the creation of Hyperledger Fabric applications.
Hyperledger Fabric applications interact with a shared, immutable ledger for recording the history of transactions, fostering a new generation of transactional applications.
Hyperledger Composer is a set of APIs, a modeling language, and a programming model you can use to quickly define and deploy business networks and applications that allow participants to send transactions that exchange assets.
The Composer programming model is based on defining and deploying a business network definition, which contains a data model that defines the name and structure of assets, participants, and transactions in the business network. The business network also specifies transaction processor functions (written in ES5 JavaScript) that are automatically run on a Hyperledger Fabric blockchain when transactions are submitted by clients.
Composer defines JavaScript APIs to submit transactions and to create, retrieve, update, and delete assets within asset registries. Composer helps you realize a business solution and deploy to a Fabric blockchain in no time. You should definitely make sure you add it to your skill set.
4. How to get support to build the next disruptive Blockchain application.
If you're interested in building the next disruptive Blockchain application, you can expect to see a lot of support from both enterprise and startup communities.
IBM offers a fully integrated, enterprise-grade production blockchain platform on the IBM Cloud, as well as consulting services, that will allow more organizations to quickly activate their businesses. The IBM Blockchain Platform is available via the IBM Cloud, and has released a Starter Plan (currently free in beta) to help you kick-start your blockchain network.
Another great way to tap into help from industry experts is to determine whether or not they have an ecosystem startup program that supports Blockchain application development.
You can also apply for accelerators, consider working in technology co-working spaces, and participate in pitch competitions.
If Blockchain is your choice for disruption, there will be no shortage of support in the technology community for you.
Develop your idea, put together a good business plan, and get started on building your solution.
5. How to maintain relevancy.
To maintain relevancy in the digital age as a Blockchain developer, you will want to make sure you are constantly upskilling yourself.
New technologies are born quickly and evolve just as fast. Be sure you are quick to the game in making sure you are familiar with what changes may come for Blockchain.
On top of education, you need to also participate in the digital conversation. What social media profiles do you have? Are you adding value to conversations online? Are you participating in panel discussions about the future of Blockchain?
Technical eminence and education are how you will maintain relevance with this new technology. If you're not joining conversations online now, you will want to get started as soon as you can.
Here are some good ways for you to interact with Blockchain on on social media:
Join the conversation
Stay up to date on all things blockchain on both Facebook and Twitter using the hashtag #Blockchain.
You can also stay in the loop on @Hyperledger, and engage with me @Chris Ferris on Twitter, and some of our other IBM professionals including: @Jerry Cuomo and @mrsimonstone.
I wish you the best of luck in your Blockchain journey and can't wait to hear about your success in the future.

Chicago - - October 17th, 2015. Over 300 dapper guys and dolls joined the Rolfe Foundation for our inaugural speakeasy-spectacular, Speak Out for a Cure. The Foundation and our supporters enjoyed the pleasures of the past as we raised funds to fuel our future endeavors. It was a jubilant celebration of casino games, prohibition-inspired cocktails, and live music; and by the time the band's final note faded, Speak Out for a Cure had raised more than $230,000 to benefit early detection pancreatic cancer research.
Long before the evening's end, however, as dice tumbled and the band swelled, it was impossible for the Foundation's guests not to get swept up in the palpable feeling of promise that overflowed from every song and conversation. "The energy in this room is a force," enthused Rolfe Board Member and Speak Out Co-Chair Rachel Sheinkop. "It's thrilling. All these people, whether they know each other or not, have come together for one goal. One purpose. This feeling, the drive – the desire to further Rolfe's cause – it's contagious! You can feel the hope."
"It's thrilling. All these people, whether they know each other or not, have come together for one goal. One purpose. This feeling, the drive – the desire to further Rolfe's cause – it's contagious!"
- Rachel Sheinkop
Attendees got a chance to hear about their hopes made into action as well, when Rolfe honoree Dr. Ralph Hruban accepted a new grant from the Rolfe Foundation and took a moment to address the festivities. Amidst a brief description of his genetic sequencing work at John Hopkins Medicine, Dr. Hruban observed that, "the limits of scientific discovery are pushed by nights like this and efforts like yours. By supporting Rolfe, you are enabling meaningful research, which will someday affect real change."

As I noted in my email for Shemini/Shabbat Parah, I will be out for roughly two weeks, starting at midday today (until sometime between April 4 and 11), so I am going to rerun some remarks from 2008, in which I also cite remarks made in 2005. Cool. They still look pretty good to me.
People who are just familiar enough with the Torah readings to recognize them by name tend to grimace when Tazria comes around. People very familiar with Tazria per se tend to appreciate it more. It's like finding diamonds in muck. There are important philosophical issues to be pondered as we read about childbirth purification rituals, skin diseases, and mildewed (or moldy?) walls and clothing. Not to mention the physician-like role of the priests in physical diagnosis and treatment. While I keep emphasizing that "purity" and "impurity" here refer specifically and only to ritual (im)purity, which, for example, involves one's ability to join the community in eating certain sacrifices, there is still a whole lot of negative connotation to "impure" that carries over to today.
Here's part of what I wrote three years ago about Tazria: "On one hand, spiritual and physical: purity, cleanliness, freshness, order, control, health, life. On the other, spiritual and physical: impurity, uncleanliness, mildew, disorder, lack of control, disease, and death. Blood straddles both, since it is life giving (also used in rituals like priestly ordination) but also a cause for menstrual and postpartum ritual impurity. Childbirth straddles both, since it is life giving but the mother risks death, and a purification time and sacrifices are required, twice as long for a girl (blood begets blood) as for a boy. There is an effort to link skin maladies to a bad action on the part of the sufferer (physical impurity stemming from spiritual – cf. Miriam's "leprosy" as a consequence of slander. Also cf. claims that acne was exacerbated by certain misbehaviors), which is an attempt to bring order and control to otherwise random maladies. But why does a particular state become defined as "impure" (and yes, I know we're talking "ritually impure" but the constant linking of physical and spiritual makes it really difficult to avoid the connotation of "dirty." See, e.g., Midrash Rabbah on childbirth.)? Messiness? Childbirth is indeed messy (been there, done that. Twice.), as are some of the more disgusting skin maladies. But isn't all that animal slaughter for the sacrifices messy? Wouldn't the sacrifices also give rise to odor, say, at the end of the day? Maybe proximity to death is the defining factor. Possible, but, again, sacrificing causes a lot of death, albeit of animals, and I don't see where mildew fits in."
A very early Shabbat shalom,
Lost in Translation
A lady from a foreign country who could not understand much English wasn't feeling well and went to see her doctor. After examining her he said, "You are pregnant. Please understand that you have an insufficient passage and if you have a baby it will be a miracle."
The lady rushed home crying and told her husband, "The doctor says I'm pregnant and I have a fish in the passage and if I have a baby it will be a mackerel!"
How much will it hurt?
A woman goes to her doctor who verifies that she is pregnant. This is her first pregnancy. The doctor asks her if she has any questions. She replies, "Well, I'm a little worried about the pain. How much will childbirth hurt?"
The doctor answered, "Well, that varies from woman to woman and pregnancy to pregnancy and besides, it's difficult to describe pain."
"I know, but can't you give me some idea?" she asks.
"Grab your upper lip and pull it out a little…"
"Like this?"
"A little more…"
"Like this?"
"No. A little more…"
"Like this?"
"Yes. Does that hurt?"
"A little bit."
"Now stretch it over your head!"
My childbirth instructor says it's not pain that I'll feel during labor, but pressure. Is she right?
Yes, in the same way that a tornado might be called an air current.
Random phobias, pertinent to Tazria
Illness- Nosemaphobia
Infection- Mysophobia
Leprosy- Leprophobia (yes, I know "tzora'at", often mistranslated as "leprosy" , is some skin malady other than Hansen's Disease)
Pregnancy- Maieusiophobia
Skin- Dermatophobia
Skin Disease- Dermatosiophobia
Soiling- Rypophobia
Surgical Operations- Ergasiophobia (well, if it's childbirth by Caesarian section)
Blood Pressure
A doctor remarked on his patients, ruddy complexion. "I know" the patient said "It's high blood pressure, it's from my family. "Your mother's side, or father's side?" questioned the doctor. Neither, my wife's. "What?" the doctor said "that can't be, how can you get it from your wife's family?" "Oh yeah" the patient responded "You should meet them sometime!"
Top Ten Things To Do While Giving Blood
by Tina Mancuso and Paul Coen
10. Watch the bag fill.
9. Hyperventilate.
8. Pull the tube out of the bag and drink from it.
7. Race to see who fills their bag first (requires two or more people).
6. Puncture the bag near the top and see whether they pull the needle out of your arm before the blood squirts out.
5. While they're not looking, substitute a bag of orange liquid and complain they gave you too much Tang.
4. Insist that you want to give 2 pints.
3. Faint.
2. Tell them you saw the bag twitch.

Our research foundation is investigating the cause of a severe sickness, which we believe has an infectious etiology. The vast majority of individuals reporting symptoms of what's at the moment known as Morgellons Disease" reside within the U.S., however an growing variety of people in Australia are contacting us with symptoms of this illness.
Social media create enhanced potential for manipulation and propaganda because provide of information or commercials are generally not sure or less evident and resulting from difficulty checking accuracy or veracity.

Such repetition of misinformation or false data results in its acceptance by giant numbers of individuals. Creator" or Hubber": A person that creates an account on the Service. Individuals from Squidoo did NOT create an account" though.
This site endeavors to current the reality, and it does a very good job of doing just that. The fact point out that Morgellons fibers are not associated to any illness, that Morgellons just isn't a distinct disease, and that the Morgies have a wide range of actual health issues.

The remainder of us have our opinions, and of course, we believe they're true or wouldn't current them. These opinions are usually not essentially those of the blogmeister.

How To Deal With Negative People
Negative people are the toughest to deal with, especially that most are good at heart and have good traits, but are stuck in a negative vibe that they seem unable to shake. It is not a fault or something to blame them for but it is what it is. They act in a negative fashion.
Being a negative person is a state of mind more than anything. This is a cause for hope as well as a cause for alarm. If one is plagued with these negative feelings, knowing that they are just a state of mind will help one get over these feelings by countering them with positive thoughts and images, or by at least observing these feelings and accepting them, and then moving on.
The alarming part is that negativity has a dominoe effect. If one is drawn into negative feelings often, they become the norm, and the mind adapts to thinking negative. The body even starts getting used to making negative feeling hormones. This is the reason why some seem negative all the time, and often for no apparent reason. The body gets used to becoming negative.
It is noble to try and help a negative person come around, by helping them think and act positively. However, one has to be careful as their mood can be contagious, if you are around them for extended periods. So, it is OK to try to help them, but you do not want to get sucked into their world. If you feel negative after being around someone negative, try to take a break from them, remember the blessings God gave you for at least not being like them, and go do something that makes you feel good.
If you are a nice person and listen to these negative people, when many others would not, the negative person might try to seek you more often. That is OK if you can help, but if you feel affected by their negative energy, keep the necessary distance to stay mentally healthy and stable. Do not feel guilty for doing that, as you are doing it for your sake and his or hers. Remember, you getting negative will not help anyone.
If you are having negative thoughts and we all do once in a while, remember that first of all you are normal. The worst thing to do is to be unsatisfied with self for being negative. Instead accept your feelings and observe how they affect your body and breathing. Try to smile. I sometimes break out laughing to help my body slow down the negative hormones and start making positive homrones. I try to keep my mind busy with positive thoughts. If that does not work, try doing a sport or something that you are good at. Walking is excellent.
If you are a very sensitive person, expressing yourself artistically helps a lot. Try to draw, writing, poetry, humming even, singing, all can make you feel better.
In general, surround yourself with positive people who smile a lot and encourage you a lot. It is not selfish to pick company that makes you feel good. You can volunteer some of your time to help those who are feeling negative, but you need to also protect your well being so you can help more.
One of the best picker uppers is prayer. Not mechanically, but spiritually. When praying, I believe the key to getting the benefit is being honestly seeking God's help. Pray slowly, feel every word you say, connect with the One.
Another great feel-good activity is doing good deeds. Serving someone, a relative, a stranger, or any creature is a sure way to make you feel good. Cleaning chores, routine, taking care of self, all will help you feel good.
There is no single formula for feeling good. Luckily there are multiple ways and some work sometimes, other times other techniques work and so on. This is part of the fun and understanding our humanity.
Finally, a smile on your face can convince your mind that you are happy. So, keep smiling 🙂 and tell me how that works.

Tyson Foods is recalling about 69,000 pounds of frozen, ready-to-eat chicken strips that may be contaminated with metal, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said late on Thursday.
The department's Food Safety and Inspection Service said it had received two consumer complaints of extraneous material in Tyson's chicken strip products and that there were no reports of illnesses.
Tyson, the country's top meat processor, is recalling its fully cooked buffalo-style chicken strips fritters, crispy chicken strips and chicken breast strip fritters with a before-use date of Nov. 30, 2019.
The recall is Tyson's second this year, following its recall in January of 18 tons of "White Meat Panko" chicken nuggets for possible rubber contamination.

Pursuing her lifelong calling, Nicole studied for many years with Dr. Vasant Lad; Ayurvedic physician, respected author, and head professor at the Ayurvedic Institute in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Acknowledging Nicole's expertise, she was invited to lead trainings there, and encouraged to create Ayurvedic skin care formulas. AJARA Beauty, born in the Autumn of 2002 with a small array of highly customized facial care products, established its roots in Nicole's home state of Wisconsin. Pioneering a nine-category skin-type identification system, AJARA: Beauty now formulates a full line of nurturing, pure and natural skin, hair, and body care products.
Recognizing beauty beyond the skin, AJARA Beauty remains committed to helping individuals care for themselves, others, and the planet through holistic and radiant living.

2018 saw the hottest average ocean temperature ever recorded, according to a recently published announcement.
An international team of scientists tracked this ocean data, which they published in Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, a scientific journal.
"The vast majority of global warming heat ends up deposited in the world's oceans," the authors wrote. "Ocean heat content change is one of the best—if not the best—metric for climate change… Increases in ocean heat are incontrovertible proof that the Earth is warming."
» Climate change is already here: 8 things to know from dire new U.S. climate report
The scientists report that increased ocean temperatures are a major concern among scientists. They say they could cause a rise in the global average sea level could threaten coastal infrastructure and make coastal communities more susceptible to storm surges.
Temperatures are increasing because of greenhouse gases "trapping of heat radiation within the Earth's system."
The previous record for warmest ocean temperature was set in 2017 (see chart).
