DNA testing is now available to evaluate the contents of a stool sample, rather than relying on the imprecise method of a microscopic exam.

Since DNA parasite analysis became available just over a year ago, it has shown to be an extremely valuable tool for helping to identify parasite infections seen in patients at the IBS Treatment Center. As a matter of practice we have always tested patients for parasites, but prior to the availability of DNA parasite testing, parasites were rarely diagnosed. DNA testing is [more...]

Equally sad is the tendency of young adolescents to start smoking for social and psychological reasons. In a turn-around of sorts, it may be comforting to know that cancers can become addicted, too.

Davenport, 1912 (Archive Image #1913) Davenport and other eugenicists oversimplified eye-color inheritance early in the last century, and we have since come to discover that several genes determine eye color.

Our family, along with another one, planted the pine trees that line the driveway here. I'm trying to think back as to when we planted them. I am thinking it was around 1998!
Our city was looking for volunteers and both of our families decided it would be a way we could give back to our community. Time has went by and I had forgotten about this project.
Thinking back, it was quite the fiasco. Our kids were very young at the time and turned out to be a major chore! Yet, in the grand scheme of things, it was worth it. It sounded like a very doable project, and was one that our kids could watch over time. I now need to ask my boys if they have drove by this site recently. It will be interesting to hear what they have to say.
These pine trees were very small, and if my memory serves me correctly, we planted 25+ trees. These do go around the parking lot of the tennis courts. I was saddened to see that the parking lot had been redone at some point, and some of the trees had been removed. Hopefully, the city transplanted them to another location.
The most difficult task of the whole project was watering these trees. It took several garden hoses hooked together to water them. The water faucet was a long ways away. So, when we went to the park to water the trees, it was a major undertaking. We also had to weed them early on, as they were tiny. Weeds tend to grow in any condition, they never seem to need water or sunshine!
Have you and your family done anything like this in your community? If you have, I'd love to hear about it! After All, It's All In a Mom's Day, Right?

How often do you think about where your food comes from? For most of us, our options for food are so abundant that usually the last thing we think about when we're at the grocery store is how the things in our cart got there. But, as factory farming becomes more and more prevalent, this is an issue that we should all stop and consider. Are we ok with the conditions animals are put through to produce our food? It's a question everyone will have to answer for themselves, and one that we probably won't come to an agreement on anytime soon.
The Humane Society of the United States has been fighting for the rights of animals for decades, and their latest project has shed a big light on just how much these animals can be mistreated. They were suspicious about retail giant Costco's supply of eggs, so they launched an undercover investigation to see what conditions these chickens were being kept in. What they found was truly appalling.
The chickens were packed in tiny wire cages, with each animal occupying a space roughly the same size as an iPad. The conditions are the opposite of what Costco claims them to be. In 2008, they promised to use free range chickens exclusively for their egg supply - eight years later and Costco looks to be nowhere close to fulfilling that promise.
The video below shows exactly what was found at the facility of one of Costco's egg suppliers, and contains images of animal abuse and even death. Please be advised that it is tough to watch and should be viewed with discretion. If you want to make sure to not support these types of conditions, the Humane Society has provided a handy resource for you to decipher just what you're buying at the store.
Be sure to SHARE this important message with your friends and family.

It's not the dark themes or graphic, sexual content of some of these works that turns me off. I really have no problem with this kind of subject matter. What bugs me is that, as one artist looking at another's work, her current style just looks too easy.
Which is not to suggest it is easy at all. It just looks that way. It looks like experimental works ripped out of her visual diary and called 'finished art'. They look like paintings still in the planning stages.
Ordinarily I'd go for her more expressive style in other lesser known artists. Usually this style is a break from the monotony of landscapes and rural settings I see in the various regional community galleries. Someone who isn't inspired by yet another tree with sheep grazing in the distance. However Hazel is something of an Australian icon. Perhaps I expect to see something more... 'crafted'.
Excuse me while I choke on the word 'crafted' (a word more obscene than anything Hazel creates and calls 'art').
Now that I've finished this lengthy preface lets get to the point of this article. I aspire to achieve something like what Hazel has achieved with her career. Independence.
Independence from galleries, art dealers, and the whole traditional career path that chokes the life out of many emerging artists before they even get a start. It's said that artists are the last people that should promote and sell their art but look at Hazel... she's doing alright.
In an interview she gave to penseyeview.com Hazel revealed some very scathing opinions about traditional galleries and their system of promoting art...
I think one reason why I've worked so hard to be free of the traditional, institutional and gallery system is that I have always viewed it as a parasitic business that eventually leeches not only artists' souls but also their independence. I felt I'd sold my soul when I first exhibited.
I've exhibited in galleries many times since, but my relationships with them nowadays tend to be one-off and always at arms length. I have been very, very successful without them, handling my own sales, inventory management, client and public relations, and so on. These days, I almost resent paying even the modest commissions I negotiate with my exhibiting galleries: I look at it as renting space. I don't think they do much else for me. They don't have a clue about actually selling.
I loathe the environments of most commercial galleries and nearly all art institutions and museums: most are so sterile, too similar to one another, and badly laid out. I like my shows to be multi-dimensional, like a good, non-stop party – I hate the pseudo-reverence that most galleries try to foster towards art.
Hazel also threw a few punches at Australian Galleries and the Australian art scene...
Australia is parochial, mean-spirited and most of its publicly acclaimed or awarded contemporary works are knock-offs of far more original overseas works. Australian institutions and galleries also lack a deal of originality – and certainly they are more interested in having control of artists than nurturing and encouraging them. In the context of Australia's suburban homogeneity – it defines what Americans refer to as 'white bread' – any kind of risk, but especially creative risk and originality, are actively discouraged. And we haven't inherited our Anglo-Irish forebear's tolerance of eccentricity.
I'm reluctantly subscribed to Hazel's online newsletter. I really don't care for her art but I admire her determination to get to where she is today. Whilst I probably wouldn't agree 100% with her views on galleries (I think she goes a little too extreme in her summations) they do reflect my own thoughts about why I have no interest in being represented in galleries.
My ego thinks that galleries would be falling over themselves to represent me if I would only show some interest. The reality is, my art is probably too 'crafted'. Not only that but people think I'm more of an 'illustrator'. My work should be in children's books. Which means it probably lacks personal expression and is too accessible (like you lot have any clue about art!).
If Hazel Dooney can do it then so can I. So can you. If you're an artist then read her interview, visit her web site and subscribe to her newsletter.
I can't guarantee you'll learn a a lot but so long as you know Hazel is still being independently successful, you'll always have someone to inspire you to do the same.

Co-Curricular Transcripts
Frequently Asked Questions
What is it?
The Co-Curricular Transcript is a comprehensive record of a student's leadership experiences and campus involvement while an undergraduate student. It is a supplement to their academic transcript in that it keeps track of the involvements throughout their college career along with the dates and any personal reflections associated with the particular involvements.
What goes on it?
While an academic transcript is a document detailing the classes you've taken, their dates and the grade you received, the co-curricular transcript should have the experiences you participated in that added to your knowledge and interaction skills, along with their dates and a personal reflection explaining how it made you feel, what you learned, or something you gained. You can manually add any involvements under the following topics to enhance your involvement record:
- Athletics
- Awards/Honors
- Certifications
- Committee Involvement
- Community Service Hours
- Conferences/Professional Developments
- Internships
- Leadership Activities
- Performances
- Presentation
- Research
- Scholarships
- Seminars/Workshops/Trainings
The Co-Curricular Transcript is a document of non-academic activities that encourages students to reflect on the skills and values they learn through involvement outside the classroom. It is designed as a means of recognizing and tracking out-of-class learning, development, and contributions during a students' college career.
This is an excellent way to record co-curricular accomplishments in order to evaluate your career choices and get ahead when applying to jobs and looking for internships. You don't have to strain to remember everything you did early on if you add experiences as they happen and use the co-curricular transcript to help create your resume.
Especially if you add reflections to a post, you'll better remember how that particular experience enhanced your education and can use those to create more documents like cover letters and personal statements.
How do I make one?
Any Student Organizations, sports, offices, and committees you're involved with that have a Pioneer Place account will automatically be posted on your personal co-curricular transcript. It will update which positions you have held and keep track of how long you're a member.
To add additional accomplishments to your Co-Curricular Transcript in Pioneer Place, go the the "My Involvement" tab in the navigation bar on your user profile page, and click on "Experiences." Each experience you create will also appear on the transcript automatically.
Can I personalize it for me?
When saving and printing transcript copies, you can hide certain experiences or take away entire topics to make the content appropriate for your use at the time. You can create multiple copies of your transcript too, and save them as real PDF documents to use to supplement resumes and internship or job applications.

Sorry for my late post for the visit to Golden Village Katong open house. It was my 1st visit to Golden Village Katong open house as people can get to choose to watch 4 of the selected movies that would be featured during the open house.
Sarah Jessica Parker's I Don't Know How She Does It, Donnie Yen's Wu Xia, Li Bing Bing and Jun Ji Hyun's Snow Flower and the Secret Fan and Spy Kids 4 were shown during the Open House.
I watched Donnie Yen's Wu Xia as I rushed all the way home from my workplace then to catch this movie and I had no time to watch other movies then and this movie timing suit my schedule.
The feeling of entering the new cinema near home was pretty cool. Great ambience and comfy seats. Furthermore, it was free seating.
However, this movie Wu Xia has quite a lot of violent scenes (from the title of the movie, I knew it) but still okay.
The interior decor is indeed with Peranakan style as Katong is filled with Peranakan colors and reminds me of the rich Baba and Nyonya culture in the area. Haha.
So if you like to watch movie and live near Katong area, do come by to Golden Village Katong today.
Golden Village Katong is located at 112 Katong.
Buses 10, 12, 14, 32, 40 and 16 reach near 112 Katong. Or you can consider to take free shuttle bus from Paya Lebar to 112 Katong or Bayshore area or Meyer Road area to 112 Katong.
Or you can take 15, 31, 36, 43, 48, 76, 135, 196, 197, 853 (only on sundays and public hols) and 966 to Marine Parade Road near Parade and walk to 112 Katong.

Since the Year of the Dragon has arrived, I guess many people may be interested to watch this interesting movie 龙众舞. If you understand mandarin and a bit of hokkien, you will understand the content of the movie and it will definitely make you laugh. It is out in Cinemas in Singapore.
Long Zhong Wu in Hokkien means Everything included. Same pronounciation as the chinese words 龙众舞. This film was produced by the team behind It's the Great Great World大世界. I still can remember this 大世界 well as I watched that with my mum last year and it was very funny.
This movie stars with Adrian Pang, Kym Ng, Dennis Chew as Auntie Lucy, Bryan Wong, Chen Hui Hui, Malaysian actress Lai Meng and Malaysian actor Melvin Sia as well as other local actors and actresses such as Belinda Lee, Zheng Ge Ping, Patricia Mok, Marcus Chin and Ah Nan and etc. Don't forget about the Magic Baby in this movie too.
"Dance Dance Dragon"龙众舞 tells the tale of old Mother Loong (Lai Ming) who has three children – Lucy (Dennis Chew), the recently dumped eldest daughter, Ah Mei, the tomboyish second daughter (Kym Ng) and her youngest son Ah Loong (Melvin Sia) who is married but is terrified of having children. Mother Loong wants a grandchild very much. She finally gets her wish when a baby boy magically turns up on their doorstep on the first day of the Year of the Dragon – and proceeds to bring both chaos and comedy to the household.
Here's the trailer of 龙众舞:
Do catch this comedy film on cinemas and enjoy! I will give this 4 out of 5 stars.
River Hong Bao 2012 will be at Floating Platform at Marina Bay from 21 Jan to 29 Jan 2012. It will be open from 12pm to 11.30pm daily except 22 Jan 2012 (Chinese New Year Eve) where it will be closed at 1am. Free admission.
This year we will welcome the year of the Dragon. So do expect that there will be quite a number of Dragon-related decoration in this year's River Hong Bao 2012. There are quite a number of booths selling panda soft toys, food, drinks, magazines and newspapers. I guess pandas soft toys are on sale as Singapore will be welcoming Kai Kai and Jia Jia (Pandas) real soon.
Map of the event for people to view and navigate.
Plenty of Fishes…..
Fu Lu Shou – 3 star (Fortune, Prosperity and Longevity)
One of the dragon decorations at River Hongbao 2012.
So many birds. Wow….
And bid goodbye to my good friend, rabbit tonight…
Of course, it will be better for people to view those exhibitions during the night time as the decoration will look more beautiful and nicer. Do come down to Floating Platform at Marina Bay for River Hong Bao 2012 in Singapore.
You can take Circle Line MRT to Promenade or take buses 36, 56, 70M, 75, 77, 97, 106, 111, 133, 162M, 171, 195, 857 to there or walk to there.

Welcome back to my railway track walking adventures part VI (6). This part of the journey will be from the Rail Mall till the 2nd crossing located near Bukit Panjang – Ten Mile Junction. Sorry for the lacking of updates as I was busy with other things.
This part of the journey started on another day at the Rail Mall as it was too late to trek all the way from Tanjong Pagar to Kranji area as it was 6.30pm and the sky was getting dark if chose to continue the journey then. The Rail Mall is a place where people can rest and makan (eat). It is located near Dairy farm and Salvation Army at Bukit Panjang area.
Wait a minute. Did I mentioned about Bukit Panjang? Yes, it locates near the Rail Mall. There is a famous landmark there along the railway track. Its logo is blue and green in colour and every year this company is always the title sponsor of the Singapore Biggest Marathon event in Dec.
Sorry about the picture as it looks quite small from the picture taken while walking on the railway track. Yes, it is the Singapore 1st Standard Chartered bank at Bukit Panjang area. Opposite the bank is Salvation Army which people can donate their old stuff for sale to raise funds. You also do see quite a lot of construction as LTA is building Downtown line along this part of the railway track.
See those construction items along the railway track. As you notice along the railway track in this area, the roads were built along/very near the railway tracks compared to the southern part of the KTM railway tracks in Singapore. There are also quite a number of schools along the Bukit Panjang/Upper Bukit Timah part of the railway track. Such as CHIJ Bukit Timah, Assumption English school, Fajar Secondary School.
Cashew Road, Chestnut Avenue, Hazel Park. As you notice some of the roads at this area are named after nuts. Haha.
Hmmm…. I wondered what this signal light along Cashew Road area indicates what? The sign shows a gate ahead and there's a green & red light ahead. What does that means? Stopping/allowing the train to move …
There's a black & white striped sign located near the Hillview camp site. What does that mean? I guessed it must be related to the sign with a gate.
I was wondering why there were bricks along the track then. I guessed there might be a tunnel or a hole below the track.
As I walked further to the north, I saw 1 station located near Gombak Drive and Bukit Panjang Link. This was 1 of the stations where staff had to give signal to the train to cross over the road safety using the gate to stop the vehicles (cars, trucks and bus 177 and etc) from going to /or of Gombak Drive.
Here's crossing number 1 located along Gombak Drive. Haha. The gate was demolished when I visited there then. Now I guess the metal rails on this road are removed and become a normal looking road.
The dismantled gate.
The site where the gate poles were located at.
After passing the 1st crossing, I reached this building. I think that was an abandoned Bukit Panjang Station where people could alight from the station to their destination around Bukit Panjang area many years ago before it was closed due to low usage. There was not much furniture unlike the Bukit Timah Train Station. No roof top too.
But there was a small building nearby. I was not sure whether it was the washroom for the KTM staff who controlled the crossing gate nearby.
As I walked further to the north, I saw another similar sign to the 1st signal light. Another crossing ahead I guess.
2nd crossing approaching soon…
Reaching the end of the Upper Bukit Timah Road area…
So strange to see such a plot of land for gardening. But the crops had been removed.
Saw above ground rail line ahead. Guessed it is part of the Light Rapid Transport (LRT) in Bukit Panjang area.
Another small house near the 2nd crossing site.
Control station for the 2nd gate crossing.
Off to cross the 2nd crossing…
Shall stop my part VI (6) of my KTM railway track walking adventures here. Stay tune for more updates.

The Beechcraft T-6 Texan II is a single-engined turboprop aircraft built by the Raytheon Aircraft Company (which became Hawker Beechcraft and is now Beechcraft Corporation). Based on the Pilatus PC-9, the T-6A is used by the United States Air Force for basic pilot training and by the United States Navy for Primary and Intermediate Joint Naval Flight Officer (NFO) and Air Force Combat Systems Officer (CSO) training. It has replaced the Air Force's T-37B Tweet and is replacing the Navy's T-34C Turbo Mentor. The T-6A is also used as a basic trainer by the Royal Canadian Air Force (CT-156 Harvard II), the German Air Force, the Greek Air Force, the Israeli Air Force(Efroni), and the Iraqi Air Force. The T-6C is used for training by the Royal Moroccan Air Force and the Mexican Air Force.

The T-6 is a development of the Pilatus PC-9, modified significantly by Beechcraft in order to enter the Joint Primary Aircraft Training System (JPATS) competition in the 1990s. A similar arrangement between Pilatus and British Aerospace had also been in place for a Royal Air Force competition in the 1980s, although this competition selected the Short Tucano. The aircraft was designated under the 1962 United States Tri-Service aircraft designation system and named for the decades-earlier T-6 Texan.
The JPATS competition winning design was based on a commercial off the shelf Pilatus PC-9, with minor modifications. Additional requirements and conflicts between the Air Force and the Navy resulted in delays, cost increases (from initial estimates of $3.9 to roughly $6 million per aircraft) and a completely new aircraft that is 22% or 1,100 lbs heavier than the Pilatus.
On April 9, 2007 the U.S. Department of Defense released their Selected Acquisition Reports, which reported that the T-6 JPATS program was one of only eight programs cited for Congressional notification for 25–50% cost overrun over initial estimates, which is referred to as a "Nunn-McCurdy Breach" after the Nunn-McCurdy Amendment. It is unusual for a program so far into full rate production to experience significant enough cost overruns to trigger this Congressional notification.

Typical Interest Rates
Lenders review their products on a regular basis. However, to give you some very rough guidance, if you are a buyer with 30% deposit, rates range from 2% - 3%. If you have 20% deposit, rates range from 2.95% - 4% and if you have up to 10% deposit, rates range from 4.19% to 4.39%.
It is recommended that Help to Buy purchasers consult a mortgage broker or lender directly for information regarding the latest interest rates available.

Up Your Game Against These 4 Super Bowl-Related Claims
As one of the largest sporting events of the year, most everyone is aware that Super Bowl XLIX will be played at the University of Phoenix Stadium, Glendale, Ariz., this Sunday, Feb. 1 at 6:30 p.m. EST. But what does the Super Bowl have to do with insurance claims? A lot, actually. If you're planning on celebrating the big game at home or in person, make sure to watch out for these hidden dangers that could potentially turn into insurance claims.
Auto incidents
The Super Bowl is one of the busiest days of the year for pizza delivery chains, with nearly 4 million pizzas sold by restaurants in 2012. Delivery giant Domino's Pizza sees a nearly 80 percent increase in business compared to a typical Sunday. But with increased sales comes the possibility of increased auto accidents as delivery drivers rush to meet demand. Over the past few years, insurance company Fireman's Fund has seen an average of three claims per day on the day of the Super Bowl, which is 9.4 percent higher than the average. Additionally, the severity of claims is slightly higher on Super Bowl Sunday, with the average claim coming in at $14,799 versus $12,409 on other days, according to an article published in Claims Journal. Avoid auto claims by staying put this Sunday, and exercise extreme caution if you must drive.
Winter weather
Winter weather has hit hard so far. So much so that New York-based insurance broker Dewitt Stern has introduced coverage that would pay policyholders in the event bad weather or something else causes the Super Bowl to get cancelled or moved. If you're planning to watch the big match-up in person at University of Phoenix Stadium, be prepared for the possibility of temperamental winter weather. Wear layered lightweight clothing to keep warm, along with gloves and a hat to prevent loss of body heat. Walk carefully on icy or snowy sidewalks, and wear waterproof, insulated boots to keep feet warm and dry. Even if you're watching the game at home, tell your guests to drive carefully when navigating icy or snowy conditions to and from the party. Protect your home from bursting pipes by letting faucets drip and keeping your thermostat set to a consistent temperature. Follow these additional tips to prevent a winter weather-related claim.
Super Bowl Sunday is more than just football; it's the most popular grilling day of the winter. In fact, according to the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association's State of the Barbecue Industry Report, Super Bowl Sunday is one of the top 10 most popular grilling days of the year, with 62 percent of grill owners barbecuing on the day of the big game. Yet between 2006 and 2010, U.S. fire departments responded to an average of 8,600 home fires involving grills, hibachis or barbecues per year, causing an annual average of $75 million in direct property damage, says the National Fire Protection Association. So if you're sparking up the grill this Sunday, make sure you take the proper precautions to avoid a costly fire insurance claim.
Property and casualty
When it comes to watching the big game, nine out of 10 viewers are watching at home. While you may feel safe and sound at home, a number of factors can contribute to claims. Any party has the potential to get out of hand, putting you at risk for property damage. Additionally, Super Bowl Sunday is the second-largest food consumption day of the year, and as chicken wings and dips sit out over the course of the game, the risk of food-borne illnesses increases. As a party host, you could be liable if your guests get food poisoning. Follow proper food handling and storage instructions to avoid a claim.
If you're hosting or attending a Super Bowl party where alcohol is being served, it's more important than ever to be responsible. The Insurance Information Institute reports that "37 states have enacted laws or have case law that permit social hosts who serve liquor to people who subsequently are involved in crashes to be held liable for any injury or death." In 2011 on Super Bowl Sunday alone, 36 percent of fatalities from motor vehicle crashes were connected to drunk driving, says the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). In fact, alcohol was a factor in a fatal accident every 53 minutes. If you're going to imbibe, designate a sober driver to get you home safely, or keep phone numbers of local cab companies handy. As a host, monitor your guest's intake of alcohol and don't allow intoxicated guests to get behind the wheel.
Prevention is key to avoiding costly claims. What are you doing to be safe this Super Bowl Sunday?

Believe it or not, there will always be an easy way to achieve something. So if you wanted to become millionaire real quick and easy; I mean in 1 or 2 days you might want to consider this method.
Its jackpot! Consider buying a jackpot and there is a chance you might become millionaire when you wake up tomorrow.
I was inspired to buy jackpot lottery ticket when I read the story of people becoming millionaire by winning the jackpot in the newspaper;
Two lucky winners from Malacca and Penang scooped up a total prize of a whopping RM44.8mil in the Sports Toto Jackpot's May draw.
The winner from Malacca who bought his ticket in Negeri Sembilan paired his new car registration number and house address to clinch RM26.4mil in the Toto 4D Jackpot 1 last Saturday.
He just paid RM2 to bet on the winning pair of 4D numbers "7584 and 8899" that won him RM26,373,802.20.
The 50-year-old company manager collected his prize on Monday.
He said he would use the winnings for his child's education, investment and charity.
The second winner, from Penang, won the RM18.4mil Supreme Toto 6/58 Jackpot on May 15 after three years of buying the same set of numbers and game.
"I first started playing Sports Toto three years ago because I wanted to get rich," he said.
"I randomly picked the winning set of numbers, 10, 37, 44, 46, 54 and 56, when I first bought Supreme Toto 6/58 and continued to buy the same set of numbers since then." – The star Online
Easy enough? Nah! I don't think so, he waits for 3 years to win it. The success rate? None! If it was really easy, most of us would've been a millionaire by now. I've seen the lottery counter full of people buying their ticket, I've seen none lining up to claim their winning.
If god forbid, you'll win it. If not, we'll have to work for it.
p/s: I'll try my luck this week to see if any luck on me with the jackpot.

I'm really itching to travel again, but working in the real world makes traveling much more difficult than when I was in high school or college. As I continue to figure things out, I love to relive memories and look at old photos. I've shared a few of my favorite pics from my trip to Paris in 2012. Ugh, take me back ASAP.
{ All photos taken with my Nikon D3000. One of my best decisions was taking my nice DSLR with me; I handled it and held it like a priceless artifact for a whole 2 weeks, but the photos caught everything amazingly. If you have any questions about a photo or about Paris, feel free to ask :) }

Document Type
In this study, it was hypothesized that experimentally introduced noise would disrupt infant object mastery performance in the home environment. Twenty-four 12-month-old infants performed under control and experimental test conditions on alternating home visits. A tape-recording of talk radio conversations was introduced during the experimental test visit. Each videotaped visit included a test session with 6 short object mastery trials. The hypothesis was not supported. The implications of the findings are addressed.

Audi AG has come to the spotlight from consumers in China for an advert that compared a second-hand or used car to checking out a future bride.
The video, by the used Audi division, has gone viral since it was aired online and in movie theaters this week, which portrayed a mother-in-law is seen interrupting the wedding between the her son and the bride before she approaches the altar and is examining the bride's eyes, pinching her nose and ears, and opening her mouth to check her teeth, before she gives the son an okay, an attempted play on the common stereotype of picky Chinese parents.
A voiceover then says, "Important decisions must be made carefully. . . only with an official certification can you relax.
Thousands of Chinese consumers saw the advert and went online to mock the advertisement. The vocal consumers claimed that the ad was sexist, demeaning, and objectified women. On the popular chatting app, WeChat, it was blown up by nearly half a million people mentioning "Audi second hand car".
Yaoxiaozi said in one of the microblogs, "This is really low taste. Isn't it like what people do when trading cattle?"
This negative social media reaction in China can have a large scale effect on the brand. With the advert going viral online, many of China's public claim they will not be purchasing from such a disrespectful company.
The video was taken down by Audi and then mentioned in a statement that the advert "does not correspond to the values of our company in any way," and then led to an investigation to make sure an incident like this does not happen again.
Although this advert has caused a setback in the Chinese consumer market, the company is still looking into the Chinese market for potential growth, as the emergence of personal wealth and private enterprises drive up the sales.

I will never forget the night my life changed.
I was having a bath and I remember thinking, "This is it. This is the most I will ever weigh. This is the heaviest I will ever be. Tomorrow I will start dieting".
And that's exactly what I did. But that innocent weight loss journey turned into an obsession with calories, exercise, and the scale.
All I did was think about how I could cut more calories and how I could run on the treadmill for longer. My sole purpose in life was to lose weight. My purpose was to be as small as I could be, because I thought the smaller I was, the better my life would be.
I look back and think WHY? Why did I go through this. And today I know that it's because my passion is helping YOU overcome the same things. Heck, it's to help you not make the mistakes I made.
It's why I now live every day fighting diet culture and digging deep into WHY we get so obsessed with these things. It's why I wrote Obsessed to Free.
I want to say that dieting ruined my life. That diet cultured fucked me up - because it did. But it also helped me find my purpose in life. Now I run a business based on the fact that dieting is STUPID and you CAN be fit, healthy, and love your body while still eating EVERYTHING in moderation.
Cut the counting calorie crap. Is it worth it?
Is counting calories worth the effort? Do you want to count calories for the rest of your life?
I seriously want you to ask yourself right now, IS IT WORTH IT? Is dieting and obsessing over your weight worth your life? Seriously. Is it taking over your life?
You ARE worth so much more. And you deserve freedom. You deserve to live freely without feeling restricted. You deserve to live without worrying about every single bite of food you put in your mouth. You are more than burning fat.
My guide, Obsessed to Free is the tool that will help you beat this obsession. It teaches you how to diet the diet, live and eat intuitively, workout in a way that you enjoy, beat the fight with the scale and seriously just love your body. Check it out below <3

Larry Hughes speaks about his time with the great Michael Jordan and how to create advantages through the skill of mental preparation.
Written by Larry Hughes & Brendan Bowers, Sponsored by the Larry Hughes Basketball Academy
Jordan's best days were certainly behind him when we teamed up in Washington, but he was still showing up fully prepared on a nightly basis. Many people forget, but—despite turning 40 years old that season—MJ appeared in all 82 games and averaged 20 points, six rebounds, and four assists. Along the way, he also helped the 24-year-old version of myself to truly understand how to use mental preparation as a skill that creates advantages on and off the basketball court.
I learned a lot from MJ during the time we spent together. But, what I learned more than anything was how to properly approach the game of basketball from a mental perspective. His mental approach, especially at that point in his career, really helped him create an advantage over his opponents. Even though he was now a little older than the rest of us on the court, he nevertheless brought great mental focus to each game, making Michael an unstoppable force on the basketball court throughout his career. His preparation for knowing his opponent, knowing the team, and then using that information to figure out what his advantage was on a nightly basis really made him effective. He used his mental preparation to create advantages that he'd exploit throughout the season, and that's something that always stayed with me.
Jordan's mental preparation created enough of an advantage to help him lead our team with 1,640 total points. His scoring average was only topped by teammate Jerry Stackhouse, who checked in at 21.5. Alongside MJ and Stack, I did my part to help carry a young roster into playoff contention by averaging 13 points, five rebounds and three assists while soaking up as much knowledge as I could from the best to ever do it. We finished five games out of the No. 8 spot in the Eastern Conference, but would use that experience as a building block for the future.
The lessons I learned from Michael about the mental aspects of the game were very important for me during the rest of my career. That willingness to truly compete, to do whatever it takes on and off the court to prepare to win is very important. It is an aspect of the game that we teach our kids now in the D1 program—how to prepare mentally on and off the court. I think it's been said, and it's really true, that the game of basketball is 90 percent mental. The majority of success comes from being mentally sharp and mentally prepared. Michael's willingness to mentally prepare provided him an advantage over his opponent, and that's a skill we're developing with our kids on a daily basis.
In the D1 program, we believe that creating advantages on the basketball court through effective mental preparation is a skill that needs to be taught and developed at a young age. What we try to do with our kids is to help them with the fundamentals of a strong mental approach by putting them in adverse situations. We put them in situations where they're uncomfortable to force them to compete and grow. We also ask them to remember what they learn and apply it. I think that's where kids begin to develop their mental skills, mental toughness, and fundamentals. From there, we keep building, keep teaching, and keep developing that mental approach like we do with other fundamentals of basketball. Those that master and develop their mental capacity at any level are the ones who are most successful. Michael Jordan is the greatest example of that for me, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to keep sharing what I learned from him with the kids we work with.

IN CALIFORNIA, there are actually two springs. First to bloom are the bulbs and annuals; then about two months later come the perennials. With luck, the perennials flower through summer and into early autumn. So this month--the optimal planting time in Southern California--you're really planning and planting for two springs, plus summer.
Last spring, in Louis and Stephanie Snyder's West Los Angeles garden, the bulbs and annuals set out the previous fall--a crisp mix of white and yellow--peaked in March. By mid-May, the garden looked completely different. The bulbs and some of the annuals were gone, but the perennials, also planted at the same time, had taken their places. The multitude of flowers--including roses, delphiniums, lavender, various salvias and coreopsis--bloomed off and on and were still putting on a respectable show in late September. Many perennials grow in the garden for several years before they must be divided or replanted, unlike most of the bulbs and annual flowers, which are planted anew every year.
Fall planting is almost foolproof in California. Shorter, cooler days and the occasional rain are kind to seeds and seedlings alike. Nature makes roots wait until fall to grow, and since most soil diseases are inactive in the autumn, anything planted between September and December is almost guaranteed to be off to a sure, if somewhat slow, start--slow compared to the jump-start plants get from spring planting.

Boart Longyear the world's leading integrated exploration drilling services, equipment and performance tooling provider, has released their next generation surface exploration drill rig, the LF™120A. The semi-automated drill rig features a hands-free operating system and self-monitoring technology that provides increased safety and gains in overall productivity.
"The LF120A was designed for drilling contractors who want to differentiate their exploration program by focusing on safety, information and an advanced-level of automation," said Sid Gaitonde, Boart Longyear global product manager.
CANBUS technology is central to the LF120A for self-monitoring and efficient rig operation. The system's large LCD screen leads operators through start-up, drilling and troubleshooting procedures.
Common mistakes are avoided when the system alerts operators when defined parameters are broken. Self-monitoring valves provide real-time status information to operators.
"The intelligent PC-based operating system displays bit weight and landing indication while also reducing fuel consumption by about 25 percent compared to similar rigs in its class," added Gaitonde. "This allows for reduced fuel related costs, less pollution/carbon footprint and makes life easier in remote areas where access for fuel trucks is difficult."
The LF120A surface coring rig also features the industry's first truly hands-free rod handling system which comprises a rod handler, an auto-adjusting breakout tool and an innovative hoist plug spinner.
"Separating the operator from the moving parts of the drill is a key focus for Boart Longyear, as it decreases the probability for accidents on site," added Gaitonde. "The rod handler incorporates a wireless remote, which places the operator in a safe position."
The rod handler provides 270-degree pick-up capability, 2-meter height adjustment, 180-degree rollover and 100-degree slew. This level of flexibility allows the handler to access the rod supply regardless of where rods are located around the drill.
The rod handler is equipped with fail-safe jaws and level sensors that limit release positions and prevent accidental rod drops. The LF120A easily manages both 3-meter and 6-meter rods in sizes ranging from BQ to PQ.
The LF120A also introduces an open-face mast design, which encloses rotating parts and applies unified guarding at the operator's level, greatly increasing safety. The LF120A depth capacity of 1200m NQ with a pullback of 16,000 kg (35,872 lb) and a hoist capacity of 9,071 kg (20,000 lb). The rig can be jack, skid, truck, or crawler mounted to match the portability needs of the contractor.
