Chlorophyll does not stop bad breath in humans because the body cannot absorb the chemoprotein, reports Healthline.com. However, when dogs consume chlorophyll, it prevents and treats their bad breath and improves their digestion. Poor digestion can cause halitosis, even in dogs with healthy mouths. Although Dr. F. Howard Wescott's 1950s research showed that chlorophyll helps fight bad breath, later studies disproved those findings. Green plants and leafy vegetables, such as spinach, lettuce and broccoli, derive their color from chlorophyll.Continue Reading
Human health benefits from eating cabbage and other chlorophyll-rich leafy green vegetables include consuming lutein, which helps eye health, notes Healthline.com. Other health benefits of chlorophyll for dogs include fighting infection, cleansing body cells, detoxifying organs, healing wounds and strengthening the immune system. As of 2015, dog chew treats that contain chlorophyll are available at pet stores.
To perform the process of photosynthesis, plants capture light by using chlorophyll, according to Oregon State University. Scientists use chlorophyll to produce chlorophyllin, a mixture of sodium copper salts that people have taken by mouth as an internal deodorant and apply to the skin to help wounds heal. Patients have used the substance for more than five decades with no serious side effects. Chlorophyllin may also block the effect of some carcinogens, but scientists need to do more research in the area.Learn more about Dental

'Backpack Bed' Designed To Help Homeless
CHICAGO (CBS) — Homeless people in Chicago have been getting a little sample this week of a product that's designed to make their life a little more comfortable on the street.
It's called a Backpack Bed. It's a sleeping bag-type product that rolls up into a backpack, but it has special features designed to keep the homeless warm, dry and protected from the elements.
Backpack Beds are the brainchild of Australian Tony Clark and his wife to help the homeless–or "rough sleepers" as they're called in Australia.
He says that organizations that distribute the Backpack Beds note that the health of homeless who use them "improves rapidly," mainly because they can sleep longer with less stress.
A Backpack Bed is an insulated, cocoon-type sleeping bag that rolls up into a backpack. It has netting to ward off summer bugs and has pockets for personal items.
Ed Shurna of the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless calls it a "lifesaver" for people who are turned away from a shelter or who won't go into a shelter.
Bill Cavanaugh usually tries to sleep in a shelter, but he appreciated getting a backpack bed at Catholic Charities. He proclaimed it, "not bad".
Victor Campos also received a Backpack Bed yesterday and said, "it's great."
Backpack Bed creator Tony Clark says, "Social workers that are dealing with the homeless can see the massive improvements very rapidly with their health–psychological."
He says improving the self-esteem and dignity of the homeless "is the first step to getting homeless back on their feet in the community."
The unfortunate side to the story is a report that a couple of homeless actually left their backpack beds where they'd been staying under a north side viaduct this week and the city reportedly disposed of them when cleaning the area.
Clark says Backpack Beds cost $68 each to produce.

At the suggestion of the then National Advisory Board, the Newton Institute established in 2002 a list of correspondents in UK Universities, other academic institutions and R&D groups in industry and commerce. These correspondents act as a channel of communication between the Newton Institute and the mathematical sciences community in the UK. Correspondents are regularly informed about activities of the Institute, and it is their responsibility to ensure that the information is disseminated to the relevant Departments in their institution (especially Departments other than mathematics). Correspondents also provide feedback to the Institute.
Universities and other relevant bodies not yet represented on this list are encouraged to suggest a suitable nominee.
Newton Institute Correspondent duties
It is now the intention that the role of the Correspondents will be developed and strengthened. This is to ensure that the Institute continues to meet the expectations of the UK community following the recent disbanding of the National Advisory Board, after a request for a clarification of its role by the EPSRC as one of the conditions for the grant of £9.6 million awarded in 2008. The decision was taken after discussion by all Institute committees, and consultation with Heads of UK Mathematics Departments, the Institute Correspondents, and the learned societies of the Council for Mathematical Sciences.
Chair of Correspondents
The position of Chair of Correspondents has been established, with nominations being sought from the Correspondents and final selection being made by the learned societies. The appointee is co-opted as a full member of the Management Committee, representing the interests of the national community and contributing to the future direction of the Institute. Prof. Caroline Series from the University of Warwick was appointed the first Chair of Correspondents and served from January 2009 - December 2012. Michael Singer is Professor of Mathematics at UCL, London and took over from Caroline as Chair of Correspondents serving from January 2013 - Spring 2015.
Annual Meeting of Correspondents

Newton Institute Participants willing to speak elsewhere
The Newton Institute maintains a register of participants who are willing to give seminars at other UK institutions. Newton Institute Correspondents may find this register useful when looking for a speaker with particular subject knowledge.
See: Current Participants Willing to Speak Elsewhere
Newton Institute Correspondents Bulletins
Newton Institute Correspondents Bulletins are sent in January, May and September each year and will contain information regarding the Newton Institute and its activities. We hope you will find it a useful way of keeping in touch and a helpful source of information to distribute to your colleagues. We will also send you occasional updates on particular topics.

Double victory for Norway. UPDATED
Team Norway I with Maiken Caspersen Falla and Mart Bjoergen was superior at today's team sprint classic over 2 x 3 x 1,3 km in Liberec.
Italy I with Magda Genuin and Marianna Longa claimed second place more than 30 seconds behind the winning team. Kari Vikhagen Gjeitnes and Celine Brun-Lie of team Norway II rounded out the podium.
Marit Bjoergen showed great shape today and in her first leg opened up the gap on the rest of the field. Falla was able to speed up too and the due was continuously increasing the margin. Bjoergen did not allow any drama and came to finish with decisive margin of 30.5 sec.
Magda Genuin and Marianna Follis for Italy were second fastest today. Arianna Follis escaped in the last leg Celine Brun-Lie and with a comfortable gap of 13 seconds came for second place.
Norwegian success was rounded out today with team Norway II. Kari Vikhagen Gjeitnes and Celine Brun-Lie lost on their compatriots +46.8 sec and finished third. Team Canada with Daria Gaiazova and Chandra Crawford were fighting hard and were close to the podium. However, Crawford could not keep up the high pace in the last leg and lost two places and finished fifth.
Ola Vigen Hattestad experienced a "déjà vu" this weekend in Liberec. After yesterday's victory in sprint free, Hattestad together his team mate Kjoelstad conquered another victory and sealed double as he had done two years ago at the World Championships in 2009.
Men's race over 2 x 3 x 1,6 km was very open and was not decided until the last leg. All 10 teams were very close together. After last exchange Mats Larsson from team Sweden I attacked and tried to escape Hattestad (Norway I) and Dahl (Norway II). Hattestad showed again great tactical skills and attacked in the last uphill before the stadium. Larsson could not respond and brought team Sweden I to second place. John Kristian Dahl and Robin Bryntesson were fighting hard in the last leg for the third place. John Kristian Dahl stroke back and secured third place for team Norway II and his compatriot Eirik Bransdal.
Norway has taken over the current lead in the nation cup with 6793 points. Sweden is second 5094 points and Italy is on third position with 4083 points.
Weather: wet, 5° C
Snow Conditions: artificial snow, soft
Spectators: 3'000
Marit Bjoergen (NOR)
It was the goal for me to give a good advantage to Maiken after the first exchange. I felt well during the race and Maiken did as well an amazing competition and increased the gap."
Maiken Caspersen Falla (NOR)
It was a great day. I had good skis and I felt great during my laps. Marit gave me a good advantage to the others and it is a lot of fun to race with such a superb athlete then Marit.
Marianna Longa (ITA)
It was a hard work. The team sprint is so different then the other races. I was not surprised when Marit is attacked, she is like from another planet at the moment – really strong skier. Now we have next weekend the Italian Championships in Grisone and afterwards we stay at home for a while to prepare for the World Championships.
Magda Genuin (ITA)
It is my first podium in a classical team sprint competition. That makes me really happy. Marianna was strong today and I am also satisfied with my performance."
Johan Kjoelstad (NOR)
I tried to get a gap to the others on my last lap but I couldn't come really away from the bunch – the Swedes were always behind. Ola did a great job on the last round and took the victory home for us. It is nice to come back to Liberec where we both have won together in 2009. Now I have to be next week strong to be qualified for the World Championships in Oslo.
Mats Larsson (SWE)
It was a good day for me. The first round was quite easy, in the second round I tried to force the speed a bit and then in my last lap I attacked on the first uphill to get a good gap to the others. It worked out but I was on the last uphill very tired when Ola closed the gap. Ola was super strong. I have chosen this tactic because I knew that I would not be able to follow Ola on the last uphill, therefore I decided to attack already at the start of the lap.
Jesper Modin (SWE)
"The first two laps were not slow but also not fast. I felt good but in the last lap the guys increased the speed and I had to push my body to the limit."

Next up, Lou Rosenfeld on the folly of big redesign projects.
The big idea here is that a design is only right at a moment in time and that the challenge is to be wrong or irrelevant for the shortest possible time. It's about creating the conditions for continuous improvement.
If indeed in Lou's words "everytime you redesign, God kills a kitten", then the pet cemetery must be reaching capacity!
Once again, the origins of this problem are organisational problems: big businesses like to create big business cases which in turn create big redesign projects. The problem many organisations create for themselves is the separation of the business as usual team and the programme team. Traditional organisations find it easier to separate and ring fence enhancement programmes and run them as big IT projects, making them controlled but slow and inflexible. They often lose sight of the target outcome focusing more on effort and outputs. And they take too long.
Many of our clients are trapped by big legacy (platform, templates, process) which means that the big redesign is sometimes essential. But we're seeing real success stories in fast and furious optimisation projects and the future feels like it requires innovation and fleet of footness in both programmes and business as usual.

Square has taken a further step into brick-and-mortar shops.
The payments startup is selling an iPad stand, a cash drawer and a card-swiping dongle for a starting price of $299. With a printer added, the bundle comes to $599. The package is called Business in a Box.
The switch is a stark change for the Silicon Valley company.
Before, it gave away its basic product, which gives micro merchants the ability to accept cards. The Square reader by itself is still free. Now, with this all-in-one product, it has created a product that could be very appealing to more traditional sellers.
"I think it's notable," says Brian Riley, a senior research director in the retail banking and cards practice at CEB TowerGroup. "What Square is finding out quickly, and only because they grew so fast, is that you can't approach cards from a single angle, and [right now] that's kind of what the Square model does — it's a device that plugs into a phone."
Already, he adds, many others have copied that model, after Square legitimized the market — TSYS, VeriFone (unsuccessfully) and PayPal, to name a few.
Others still are offering bundles similar to Business in a Box.
For instance, NCR is selling its point of sale payment system — which costs $499, and comes with a $79 a month fee (waived for the first month after purchase) — at Staples.
Like Square's new product, the NCR package includes NCR's Silver card reader, a cash register, an iPad stand and a cash drawer.
"You can't be a one-trick pony in this business and survive," Riley says. And "you can't diminish that these guys [Square] have a million customers."
Square is charging its Business in a Box merchants the same prices it extends to its casual card acceptors: either 2.75% per swipe or a flat fee of $275 a month.
So far, the new packaging has resonated with at least one roughly 30-year-old doughnut shop in Santa Monica, Calif.
Asked if he'd use Square before it introduced the bundle, Sean Tao, who owns DK's Donuts and Bakery, said no.
"Because I do need a cash register. I do need a printer. And I'd have to find my own [if I used Square], and you don't know if it's compatible with the iPad," says the 25-year-old, who inherited his business from family about three years ago. "It was more of a headache." Before, "you'd have to go out of your way to make it work."
Tao adds that he first began using the bundle in early December, after being cold-called by a Square representative.
Now, he runs roughly 95 percent of his card payment processing through Square, keeping his old POS system (which he describes as more expensive) in case of emergencies, such as when the Wi-Fi in his shop isn't working.
"I try to process as many [transactions] as I can through Square," he says.
Indeed, the decision to bundle hardware and charge a price for that package is natural for Square, says Jim Van Dyke, the chief executive and co-founder of Javelin Strategy & Research, a division of Greenwich Associates.
"Merchant payment processing is one incredibly fragmented market, despite years of consolidation. Square will have to bet on achieving profitability that can only come if they achieve scale," he says. "And that means digging deep into their founder's [Jack Dorsey's] war chest."
The hardware might be valuable to smaller merchants — "not only simplifying payment options but also bringing in advanced technology," he adds.
"Makes you wonder if and when Square will launch a significant foray into mobile POS payments that benefits consumer, merchant and bank."
Still, Square is infamous for its good PR. And, while this announcement surely is a stab at solving some of its real business problems, it has elements that appear to be more sizzle than steak, says Rakesh Agrawal, a consultant on mobile payments and marketing.
"It just seems like a hack," he says. "I don't see it as being meaningful to their business. They don't really have a business channel for this."
He adds that Square's retail relationships with Starbucks (SBUX) and others to distribute its dongles don't necessarily mesh with what small business owners want.
"They've tried to sell the Square reader at retail, and I don't know how successful that's been, but still that's not how small businesses go to buy payments services," says Agrawal. "They don't go to Starbucks hoping to pick up payments technology."

Oklahoma's State Department of Health (OSDH) has stepped up its attempts to canvas the state for possible cases of the deadly Zika virus despite the threat level remaining relatively low, officials announced from Oklahoma City recently.
OSDH continues to coordinate its efforts with other jurisdictions in battling this rare but potentially debilitating virus and issuing common-sense guidelines to residents, having confirmed four travel-related cases in Oklahoma citizens via the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Transmitted through sexual contact or a bite from an infected Aedes aegypti mosquito, the Zika virus is most hazardous for pregnant women who may miscarry or give birth to babies afflicted with microcephaly and other birth defects. One challenging aspect of the disease is that it can be quite asymptomatic in many carriers.
Although Zika is not viewed as locally transmitted, the OSDH warns travelers returning from Zika-prone areas to take precautions and see a doctor if they show any symptoms such as fever, rash, muscle and joint aches and red eyes.
"We are recommending that individuals returning from travel to areas where Zika virus has been identified to consult with their physician if they exhibit any of the symptoms associated with the disease, particularly women who are pregnant," Dr. Kristy Bradley, Oklahoma's state epidemiologist, said.

The new documentary called "Oceans" is the Disney company's newest venture into the natural world. But the actual filmmakers are two Frenchmen, one of whom directed the fantastic "Winged Migration" in 2003.
Four years in the making, "Oceans" combines stunning visuals, symphonic style music, and a poetic narration to create a highly satisfying experience for movie goers.
"Oceans" is not an "educational" film; instead, its makers want us to enjoy the beauty and grace of the ocean and the many exotic creatures who live in it.
We who live in Hawaii already appreciate the ocean that surrounds us, but the terrific cinematography of "Oceans" and its clean, elegant editing style help us see the ocean in fresh new ways.
From its dazzling visuals of incredibly exotic creatures in deep waters to powerful images of storm waves, "Oceans" is out to convince the audience that the 70 percent of the earth's surface covered by water is every bit as fascinating as outer space.
One of the film's most amazing scenes shows how birds of prey diving into the ocean to catch small fish while larger fish attack the same smaller ones from below.
In less than 90 minutes the filmmakers treat us to vivid scenes from all five of the world's oceans.
The narration, spoken by actor Pierce Brosnan, is low key and poetic, only occasionally sounding like more typical films about nature.
Overall, "Oceans" is a treat for anyone who appreciates good filmmaking and the wonders of nature.

For Sale! Babs' Watch for Jon Peters
In June 1981, Barbra Streisand bought her then-boyfriend Jon Peters a classic Rolex watch and engraved it with a touching song lyric from her hit 1976 film A Star Is Born, which Peters produced. But despite the promise of "evergreen" love, things didn't turn out as timeless as Streisand had hoped. She and Peters soon split, and now the watch -- a 1935 Rolex Prince in silver and 9-karat gold -- is set to be auctioned in Beverly Hills by Julien's on Nov. 9, with a presale estimate of $2,000 to $4,000. Auctioneer Darren Julien says the owner wants to remain anonymous but adds that the person -- who worked on the movie with Peters and Streisand -- received the watch personally from Peters. One timepiece expert tells THR the watch seems in somewhat poor condition, though its history will likely up its value. Neither Streisand nor Peters responded to a request for comment.

Hey guys!
My foster Lobo has had green eye funk the past 2 days.
He has been vaccinated, and is healthy otherwise. It looks like "sleep" in his eye , but its greenish and more than normal.
At first I thought it was from the ACE that I gave him one night during the storms we had. I thought man he really slept good last night...all that sleep in his eyes.
Today my sister mentioned distemper. I completely forgot of the eye discharge symptom. I am freaking outtt. He has all of his shots. He has a vet appt. Wednesday morning to figure things out for sure.
He is behaving fine, eating, drinking...
Anything else it could be? Say prayers yall.
Green Eye Discharge
Talk about diets, exercise, and disease.

Re: Green Eye Discharge
Small amounts of green or yellow eye gunk can be a simple eye infection. My guys get them occasionally, and I usually just treat with a little terramycin or other antibiotic ointment. If he's had his shots, an eye infection is more likely than distemper. Wouldn't hurt to get a vet check though!

Re: Green Eye Discharge
Yep, I agree with Savage Destiny. It's likely just a simple eye infection. Keep us posted!
Re: Green Eye Discharge
Peanut has had that twice, July last year and June this year. Cleared right up after getting antibiotic eye drops. Peanut got hers both times after going swimming every day for a couple of weeks at a friend's pool. Go to vet.

Product Spotlights
Bonus Online Spotlights
Jean Alexander, Inc. introduces its "green" line of herbal-infused cream shades called EQ Color. These 41 ammonia-free shades give totally natural-looking results and even cover gray. The herbal extracts of mallow, yarrow, nettle and chamomile make the service as soothing as possible to the scalp.
With no ammonia, EQ Color deposits without affecting hair's natural pigment so it's perfect to apply on the same day as a perm or relaxer or to tone pre-lightened hair. These "oxidative" shades work just like regular color, using the oxygen from the developer to expand inside the hair shaft where the color remains permanently. Hair is left feeling soft and shiny with gorgeous, multi-dimensional tones.
All Jean Alexander Color shades (permanent and ammonia-free EQ) include a base of the three primary colors - red, yellow and blue. This ensures beautiful, natural-looking results while eliminating the need to mix two different shades to achieve gray coverage or fashion tones.
For more information, call 800.344.5326 or visit www.jeanalexander.com.

NOW (Prepare)
Sign up for active shooter training.
If you see suspicious activity, let an authority know right away.
Many places have plans in place to help you respond safely. Ask about these plans and get familiar with them. If you participate in an active shooter drill, talk to your family about what you learn and how to apply it to other locations.
When you visit a building take time to identify two nearby exits. Get in the habit of doing this.
Map out places to hide. Solid doors with locks, rooms without windows, and heavy furniture like large filing cabinets and desks make good hiding places.
Sign up for first aid and tourniquet training.
DURING (Survive)
RUN. Getting away from the shooter or shooters is the top priority. Leave your things behind and run away. If safe to do so, warn others nearby. Call 911 when you are safe. Describe each shooter, their locations, and weapons.
HIDE. If you can't get away safely, find a place to hide. Get out of the shooter's view and stay very quiet. Silence your electronic devices and make sure they won't vibrate. Lock and block doors, close blinds, and turn off the lights. Don't hide in groups — spread out along walls or hide separately to make it more difficult for the shooter. Try to communicate with police silently—like through text messages or by putting a sign in an exterior window. Stay in place until law enforcement gives you the all clear.
FIGHT. Your last resort when you are in immediate danger is to defend yourself. Commit to your actions and act aggressively to stop the shooter. Ambushing the shooter together with makeshift weapons such as chairs, fire extinguishers, scissors, and books can distract and disarm the shooter.
AFTER (Be Safe)
Keep hands visible and empty.
Know that law enforcement's first task is to end the incident, and they may have to pass injured along the way.
Follow law enforcement instructions and evacuate in the direction they come from.
Consider seeking professional help for you and your family to cope with the long-term effects of the trauma.
Helping Children Cope
Few events hit home for children and families like a school shooting. When children see such an event on television or on Web-based news flashes, it is natural for them to worry about their own school and their own safety, particularly if the violence occurred nearby or in a neighboring city or state.
Talk to your children
Psychologists who work in the area of trauma and recovery advise parents to use the troubling news of school shootings as an opportunity to talk and listen to their children. It is important, say these psychologists, to be honest. Parents should acknowledge to children that bad things do happen, but also reassure them with the information that many people are working to keep them safe, including their parents, teachers and local police.
Limit exposure to news coverage
Research has shown that some young children believe that the events are reoccurring each time they see a television replay of the news footage.
Know the warning signs
Most children are quite resilient and will return to their normal activities and personality relatively quickly, but parents should be alert to any signs of anxiety that might suggest that a child or teenager might need more assistance.

Talking to Children About Violence: Tips for Parents and Teachers
High profile acts of violence, particularly in schools, can confuse and frighten children who may feel in danger or worry that their friends or loved-ones are at risk. They will look to adults for information and guidance on how to react. Parents and school personnel can help children feel safe by establishing a sense of normalcy and security and talking with them about their fears.
- Reassure children that they are safe.
- Make time to talk.
- Keep your explanations developmentally appropriate.
- Review safety procedures.
- Observe children's emotional state.
- Limit television viewing of these events.
- Maintain a normal routine.
Suggested Points to Emphasize When Talking to Children
- Schools are safe places.
- We all play a role in the school safety.
- There is a difference between reporting, tattling or gossiping.
- Senseless violence is hard for everyone to understand.
- Sometimes people do bad things that hurt others.
- Stay away from guns and other weapons.
- Violence is never a solution to personal problems.

Violence Prevention in Schools
School attacks are not random and are often planned in advance. In 93% of incidents of targeted school violence, the perpetrator planned the attack in advance. In 81% of planned incidents, others knew about the attack ahead of time. There are often warning signs before the attack. In 93% of incidents of targeted school violence, the student engaged in behavior that elicited concern prior to the attack.
Other students and peers are usually the first to know about an impending attack. Common reasons students give for not reporting a threat or suspicious behavior include being fearful of negative repercussions for reporting the behavior, not believing the threat was real, not knowing who to advise and thinking they had more time to decide how to react.
Students can make a difference in the safety and environment of their school.
What YOU do as students matters and can save lives
- Take all threats seriously, even those done in a joking manner.
- Report a threat, incident or suspicious behavior even if you think others are already aware. Don't assume someone else has already said something.
- Be aware of threats and posts made in online blogs and social media postings.

Professor Ferrare's work is focused on understanding how social inequalities are created within the education system, and the policies and practices that can ameliorate these inequalities to facilitate upward social mobility. His research explores this focus through the following basic questions: (1.) How do patterns of social inequality emerge and change over time through students' K-20 education attainment trajectories? (2.) To what extent do education policies diminish or exacerbate these patterns? and (3.) What are the conditions through which education policies aimed at addressing inequality emerge and change over time? These research interests cover a wide variety of policy applications, including student achievement, college access, high school to college transitions, and postsecondary persistence and degree attainment. To address these areas of research, Ferrare's work frequently draws upon social network analysis, statistical modeling, and a variety of field-based methods.
Professor Ferrare's teaching commitments include the following graduate courses: Sociology of Education (EPE/SOC 661), Social Policy Issues & Education (EPE 602), Advanced Quantitative Methods (Social Network Analysis) (EPE/EDP 711), Survey Research Methods (EPE 619), and Seminar in Educational Policy Studies (EPE 773).

The 4 Newest Elements On The Periodic Table May Soon Have New Names
In January, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) made an announcement that rendered science textbooks everywhere out-of-date: Four new elements had been added to the Periodic Table .

Privatization of public education is a failure
This election cycle has been heavy on rhetoric and light on policy. Given that nearly 50% of Americans consider themselves angrier than a year ago – with white Republicans being the angriest – it's no wonder that rather than having substantive discussions, most solutions being offered currently are knee jerk reactions that have little to no factual support. A prime example of this are the changes many conservatives endorse for "fixing" public education

Arlene Francis: A Forgotten Femcee
In the early days of television, what I call "warmth", they referred to as "charm".

UNAIDS and major funders have determined that a "fast-track" strategy–focusing on a subset of countries with highest transmission–is the best way to reach these goals

Amid the Tumult over France's Labor Reform, the Silence of the People
Translator's note: Since the end of March France has been roiled by protests over the Socialist government's proposals to loosen France's famously rigid labor laws.
