Early Childhood Caries: The Truth About Sippy Cups
Most parents know about Early Childhood Caries (or cavities), also known as ECC. However, did you know covered cups for small children – notably sippy cups – can be detrimental to young teeth, too?
Early Childhood Caries also goes by another name: Baby Bottle Tooth Decay. ECC occurs when sugary foods and liquids create the thin film of bacteria known as plaque. Plaque produces acids that attack tooth enamel – for 20 minutes or longer after a meal – and create cavities. Protecting baby teeth from cavities is important because healthy teeth help young children learn to chew and speak.
Protecting baby teeth from cavities is important because healthy teeth help young children learn to chew and speak.
Sippy cups and baby bottles concentrate pools of sugary liquids at the teeth, increasing the likelihood of the development of cavities in small children. And though sippy cups are a nice transition from bottle feeding – and less likely to cause orthodontic issues than bottles or pacifiers – they're just as bad as bottles with regard to forming cavities.
Why? They're portable for a toddler, who's likely to keep that sippy cup mouthpiece in his or her mouth just as frequently as a bottle – whether on the go or falling asleep.
Tips for avoiding early childhood caries
The solution for avoiding these kinds of cavities is fortunately fairly simple:
- No bedtime food, cups or bottles. In addition to limiting the exposure of your child's teeth to sugars, this limits choking hazards.
- As soon as possible, get your child used to drinking from a non-sippy cup. Try not to use a sippy cup as a pacifier.
- If you feel you must use a sippy cup, fill it only with water – never with sugary juices or liquids – and offer it only at mealtime or when your child's thirsty. This will help limit the habit of carrying the cup around all the time.

Finally, practice good oral hygiene methods to keep your toddler's teeth clean and free of cavities. Brushing twice a day with an appropriately sized toothbrush and a small amount of fluoride toothpaste (approximately pea-sized) is a great start. Limit sugary snacks and beverages. And, of course, be sure to schedule regular visits to your child's dentist for check-ups and cleanings.
Avoiding cavities is essential for all of us, but for our toddlers it's particularly important. By keeping an eye on not only what they eat and drink, but how they do it, we can do our part to keep their mouths free of cavities for a lifetime.

That depends on which console, which version of emacs and compile time options at the very least. If you on at the linux console, and it is a frame buffer rather than a vga text console, it may be possible. I can't speak for other kernels' consoles. And I haven't tried it even on a frame buffer console, so this is unconfirmed advice. And none of this is written, as far as I know. You'll have to write some code to make it work. What you would need to do is to arrange for emacs to pass the postscript in question to ghostscript with appropriate options to render the ps to graphic files at some reasonable dpi, and then open those image files in an emacs buffer in image mode to display them. The dpi should be approximently framebuffer_width_in_pixels divided by paper_width_in_inches. So, if you have a 1600x1200 pixel display and the postscript document is intended for US-Letter sized paper, that is 1600/8.5 or about 188 dpi. That is, if you want the rendered images to be maximum width. The math for fitting the whole page on a single screen should be obvious. If the PS's papersize is not Letter (such as an EPS image) you'd need to parse the PS to find the size and use that to determine the dpi value to pass to GhostScript to get an image at the correct scale. I'd probably use gs's png256 output device, if your emacs is compiled with libpng support. Incidently, there may be a PS viewer out there (probably written on top of directfb or svgalib) which you could use instead of writing one in elisp. If you don't want to exit emacs to call such a viewer, run M-x shell to start a shell session w/in emacs and call the viewer from that shell prompt. -JimC -- James Cloos <address@hidden> OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6

Many different retirement-related topics are covered by BlackRock's Retirement Roundtable series, but at a recent New York roundtable, the very concept of retirement is being challenged. I caught up with Stanford University's Laura Carstensen, Encore.org's Marc Freedman and The Brookings Institution's Josh Gotbaum to discuss how their radical ideas intersect.
BlackRock: You all had different wrinkles on a core idea: Our current concept of "retirement" doesn't make sense any more.
Carstensen: It doesn't. First of all, it's much too long. I ask people all the time, "If you had 30 extra years in your life, where would you put them?" No one ever says, "I'd make old age longer." Yet this is precisely what we've done. Life expectancy nearly doubled in the 20th century and without giving it a second thought, we collectively tacked on all the added years to the end. Only retirement got longer.
Freedman: "Retirement" is a construct anyway. Every 50 years or so, when the shape and contours of our lives need adjusting, we cook up new chapters. Such was the case with the invention of the "golden years" 50 years ago, when we concocted a vision of retirement as a kind of second adolescence (graying as playing). Fifty years before that we fashioned adolescence itself. At the time, the country was experiencing a proliferation of "neither-nors," of young people who were neither children nor adults, and considered a potentially destabilizing social force. We resolved this tension through a social invention—a new stage post-childhood.
BlackRock: People forget, or never knew, that retirement pensions were created as a workforce management tool. They were a way for companies—particularly those involving physically intensive and potentially dangerous labor—to move older people out of the workforce. In an era when life expectancy was under 65, you didn't want a physically frail 65-year-old working in a rail yard. But with life expectancy much higher and physical and mental health staying strong much later, why can't a 65-year-old accountant keep working?
Gotbaum: There's no reason he or she can't. Except that most of our institutions are geared for people to retire all at once—to stop working entirely at 65, or even earlier. Neither the government nor the private sector have caught up with demographic reality.
BlackRock: But won't people say: "Hey, I worked hard for this all my life for this chance to finally relax and now you're telling me I have to work longer? Where's my payoff?"
Carstensen: Some might—at first. But it's becoming clearer and clearer that working longer promises scores of benefits for individuals and societies. Engaging in productive activities outside of the home is associated with cognitive, social and physical benefits in addition to the more obvious financial benefits. It is also proving unrealistic for most people to save enough over the course of a 40-year career to fund a retirement that could last just as long.
BlackRock: So what can we do?
Gotbaum: One thing we can do is create a legal right to a phased retirement. There's no reason why retirement has to be this cliff-edge: Work full time until the last day before your 65th birthday and then never work again. Many people can and would phase down gradually—go from full-time to part-time or take lighter responsibilities—if they had the choice. But most people don't have that choice. They should.
BlackRock: Why a legal right?
Gotbaum: Because it's often the case that the law leads the culture. There's lots of talk about phased retirement, but most companies don't offer it. We should encourage them. Then they can discover what Marc Freedman and Encore have: Intergenerational workforces are smarter and more productive.
Freedman: That's right. Since we invented "retirement," there's no reason we can't invent a new stage of life, one that fits today's demographic reality. To start, we should "rebrand" the period of life before retirement around the ideas of purpose and legacy—most fully embodied in the second-career phenomenon. We'll also need to create a new set of pathways, policies and products—including financial vehicles—to help prepare people for this period.
Carstensen: I agree with Marc, and I think the financial piece is key. Innovative financial products can help people work differently, alternating between working full and part-time. Education should not stop in our early 20s. We should save for intermittent returns to schooling. Society should incentivize employer-based training that includes seasoned workers, as well as HR benefits from employers to fund fellowship/retraining years.
BlackRock: Sounds like you've given financial services a lot to think about. Thanks to all three of you for sharing your ideas with us.

How to paint a human eye tutorial
Eyes are the mirror of the soul, or so they say, but also eyes are the essential part of a painting because they give character, emotion, depth to your image if done properly. This tutorial is intended for beginners and light intermediary users, people who are familiar but do not yet excel in digital painting and need a few pointers on how to paint in a Photoshop environment.
Important note: I paint all of my work using a computer tablet, so there is no guarantee that you'll go trought these tutorials successfuly when using a mouse. If you're serious about learing to paint on the computer try and buy a tablet. It doesn't have to be a Wacom, there are many other companies that make completely decent pen tablets (Genius for example) at an affordable price.
Step one: Drawing the basics
Let us start with the simplest of sketches. As you can see it doesn't look like much, but that's not relevant seeing how you will paint over it anyway. The important thing is that you have the basic elements covered; the iris, the eyeball, the lid etc. Now, instead of using a plain white background I've went for a flesh color background, because it will be much easier to paint with. Also my sketch color is not black. Black ruins skin tones, so use dark brown instead.
Basic anatomy tips: The biggest mistake one can make when drawing eyes it to draw a completely almond shape eye or make the eye too round. Eyes by definition are not purely geometrical so bare that in mind when starting out. Look at your own eye and see the line of it. Is it round or almond shape? Of course not, so don't draw them that way.
Step two: Getting started
Now let's continue with the coloring. I've picked out a random color for the eye iris, seeing how it will change anyway. The important thing to know in this step is never to paint the eyeball in pure white. NEVER. The eyeball like all other objects in reality has it's shadows and highlights, it also has small blood vessels steaming out to the surface (especially if you haven't slept much) so that all ads to the color map of the eyeball.Start with some warm gray, perhaps with pinkish tones (just slight), or any other light, non white color depending on the atmosphere of your picture. Determine first whether your painting will have a warm or cool hue to it and take it from there. For the purpose of this tutorial, you can simply sample the color from the image on the left.
Step three: Adding shades and light
Now let's color this. I've added various tones of "skin colors" to the mix in order to create a base for the shadow and highlight regions. This part is essential because it provides grounds for your future steps. If the coloring is unnatural then the rest of the picture will be like that, or you'll have to repeat the coloring step later on. Since I want to keep this tutorial precise and under 15 steps, I've carefully thought about the coloring and light/shadow placement.
Important : Contrary to popular opinion, the skin consists of many colors warm and cold, it all depends on the lighting, the fact that our skin is filled with veins and arteries and blood vessels. So when painting, bare this in mind. Never paint with just light and dark variants of one color. Add reddish tones, yellows, for highlights, mix cyan and purple tones with gray for shadows. I've put some more conservative combinations for the purpose of this tutorial, but in the future don't be afraid to try out more expressive color choices (see color management tutorial).
Step four: Smudging the colors
Time to use the smudge tool. If you plan on seriously learning how to paint in Photoshop, you will come to realize the importance of the smudge tool. It is the main tool in the work process and without it mixing colors is a dull and often fruitless endeavor. Smudge all of the colors using small, round motions. Even here you don't have to be awfully precise, because the full blending will be complete in the next step For me personally the optimal strength of the smudge tool is somewhere between 50% and 80% ( I usually set the tool at 73% strength, because that suits my tablet pen best; it may be different with your tablet) depending on the amount of smudging I need done.
Step five: The importance of gaussian blur
Now it's time to use the Gaussian Blur filter (Filters/Blur/Gaussian blur). For me it is (besides the smudge tool) the second essential tool in Photoshop. Using the lasso tool select "logical" patches of the painting. By logical I mean portions of the picture where you need to blend in two colors. Also the amount of Gaussian blur depends on two things. How much smudging and blending you've done in the previous step and how big the painting and selected part is.This usually means using a value between 1 and 3. Also this is the last step where you are allowed to be messy. From now on precision will also be important.
Step six: Painting the Iris
The human iris is the most critical part of the human eye when it comes to painting. If you don't succeed in this step it will be very hard to give your work realism and the painting will start to look like some flat anime. Not that there is anything wrong with Anime, but make an effort to do this right. Sure, there are some 5 step Photoshop tutorials on how to paint them using various PS filters, however, most of the results look sterile and completely unnatural and if you're anything like me, you'll eventually forget how to do it anyway. So how does one paint the iris? Surprisingly enough, it's is not all that difficult once you get the hang of it.With the exception of dark and brown eyes, most eyes don't consist of just one color but tend to have many freckles of color in it and not just towards the center, but also all around it. So take a small brush and start adding dots and lines all over the iris. Since I chose a bluish base for the eye color I now started to add dabs of purple, subdued green and a touch of ocker. If you're not sure exactly how to take a mirror and analyze your eyes. See the textures. This part is actually fun. 🙂
Step seven: Still painting the Iris
Here comes the tricky part. All of these freckles of color need to be blended in properly. Although th ere is no way to do this wrong, you will still need some time to produce optimal results.
Step eight: Adding depth to the eyes (the glassy effect)
Let's bare in mind that the Iris is not flat, on the contrary it's like a glass surface and it behaves like a convex lens. Have you ever done an aqua button tutorial, or how to make glass? If you have you'll come to realize that the principles don't differ so much. You have a point where the light enters "Point A" ( the round white dot on the right of the iris) and where it spreads "Point B" (the lower left part of the iris) and the rest of it goes from dark (around the point of light entry) to light (all around point B). To simplify it I'll do a step by step explanation:
- Determine a light direction and source by adding a white circle on the iris usually somewhere near the pupil.
- The parts of the Iris the are near the top eye lid should be darker then the rest of the eye because the lid and lashes will give it some shadow. Then paint the light side (B) just opposite of the light source. You do that by adding a new layer and painting the white surface on it, smudge/blur it.
- Then lower the opacity so that you can see the iris texture on the layer underneath. Or you may use the Color dodge tool on your main menu. Either way the results will be similar. You can also try to use "Overlay" or "Soft light" on your white layer (B), with some middle level opacity.
Step nine: Adding the eye lashes
Now it is time to add some eyelashes to the painting. Generally it is best if you make a separate layer for the lashes, because it will get messy otherwise. Bare in mind when it comes to drawing lashes that they are never perfectly separated, they intertwine, get stuck together, some stand up tall, others slope down. In terms of painting try using a pressure sensitive brush, or just using a regular brush and then taking the smudge tool at some high level (like 80%) and just brush up in the direction you desire.Important : Women make their lashes go upwards because of the use of mascara, but in truth the eye lashes rarely swirl up on their own, but rather they sometimes tend to slightly slope down. This is obviously more noticeable in male eyes.
Step ten: A few thoughts on image modification
So ok, if you've managed to successfully complete these above steps, you're probably feeling very good a bout yourself. But don't congratulate yourself too much because there is still a lot of work to do. I've added some more red and yellow using the color balance tool (CTRL + B), but that part is up to you. Modifying your images with color balance, curves (CTRL + M), and levels (CTRL + L)is a process similar to child's play. You experiment, discover, learn. And this you will do on your own. I strongly believe that you need to work on these steps alone in order to get some creative experience. Otherwise, you're just following a manual and that's no different then learning how to set up your DVD player. What's missing on this picture? Well, the answer is – texture. The skin is too smooth, everything looks eye candy perfect and that's just not the way real life works. So in the next step we must learn how to add texture and realistic depth to an image.
Step eleven: Adding texture
This is the least painterly part of the process and it involves a lot of image and layer manipulation. For starters find a photo of human skin. A lot of them are available on the net for free download, or if your have a photo camera, take a snap of your own skin. This is by far the simplest way of adding a texturized feel to your image, without having to spend a lot of time on it. I will repeat the steps I have taken in order to finish this portion of the tutorial, but bare in mind that it will probably be different for you (different skin image, painting, colors etc). Don't be afraid to improvise. First off the skin image was pasted into a separate layer, then put the layer to have a "Soft light" impact on the overall image. I also set the skin layer's opacity to 77% and erased portions of the texture that covered the eyeball, iris and lashes. Obviously, this made the image too orange and saturated, so I lowered the saturation (CTRL+U) of the eye layer until I got a good result. Then I lightly smudged the parts of the texture that I thought didn't work for the picture (such as in the crease between the lid and lower arcade). Then I copied the texture layer, put it to be "Overlay" and then completely desaturated it (made it gray). Turned the opacity to 23% and the fill opacity to 63% and smudged again the parts I didn't like.
End of the road
Technically there is no such thing as "the end of the road" when it comes to painting. You're done when you choose to be done (or in this case when I tell you to) but even then there will always be room for perfecting your creations. Now that you have learned the basics to painting human eyes and faces you can use that knowledge to put your own ideas to life and how you'll measure up is entirely in your hands.In some future tutorial we will concentrate on expressions and conveying emotions in your paintings,because that is a whole new universe to learn about.

September marks the annual Heritage Month in South Africa. Heritage Day on 24 September recognises and celebrates the cultural wealth of our nation. South Africans celebrate the day by remembering the cultural heritage of the many cultures that make up the population of South Africa.
Minister Nathi Mthethwa launched Heritage Month 2014 in Gauteng on 31 August under the theme: "Celebrating 20 Years of Democracy: Tell Your Story that Moves South Africa Forward".
Among the projects identified to advance the "Tell Your Story" campaign are the reburials of Nat Nakasa and Moses Kotane. Repatriations of unsung heroes provide South Africans with an opportunity to learn more about their personal struggles, the circumstances that led to them living in exile and the impact they had on the liberation of our country.
Other events include National Book Week from 1 to 7 September under the theme: "Going Places" focusing on the power of books and how they can 'figuratively' and 'literally' take South Africans to places. Events are planned in all the provinces and will include reading in indigenous languages, storytelling and motivational talks, word-a-thons, poetry sessions and book debates.
Heritage Month recognises aspects of South African culture which are both tangible and intangible: creative expression such as music and performances, our historical inheritance, language, the food we eat as well as the popular memory.
Various heritage sites and infrastructures in South Africa are named after the liberation struggle icons, e.g.:
The Sol Plaatjie Municipality in the Northern Cape
The Nelson Mandela Museum in the Eastern Cape
Luthuli House in Gauteng
Shaka Zulu Airport in KwaZulu-Natal
Tshwane Municipality in Gauteng
Steve Biko Memorial in the Eastern Cape.
South Africa is also home to eight of the 981 World Heritage Sites which are recognised by the United Nations Educational and Scientific Organisation as places of outstanding cultural and historical importance.
These sites are:
Robben Island
iSimangaliso Wetlands Park
the hominid sites at Swartkrans, Sterkfontein and Kromdraai (known as the Cradle of Humankind)
Ukhahlamba-Drakensberg Park (mixed natural and cultural)
Mapungubwe Heritage Site
Cape Floral Kingdom
Richtersveld Cultural and Botanical Landscape.
Vredefort Dome.
The sites offer a diversity and abundance of cultural and natural values that encapsulate the value systems of the country.
In addition to these sites, the country has 17 national heritage sites and the country is taking steps to protect more of its heritage sites.
Government has set in motion the process of declaring another historic place in the history of South Africa, Liliesleaf Farm in Rivonia, a heritage site.
Speaking at the 50th commemoration of the Liliesleaf Farm raid by the apartheid police President Jacob Zuma said preserving the site would contribute to the on-going process of national healing and the building of a more cohesive society.
During the commemoration, President Zuma said it's our joint responsibility to tell the story of the farm. "We all have a responsibility to ensure that the story of Liliesleaf and the Rivonia Trial is told in full for the benefit of current and future generations and that to ensure that the ideas born on this farm live forever".
So join in and help preserve and spread awareness of our heritage resources. They are not just symbols of our past, but they are the foundation for our future as well.

The Colorado Supreme Court issued its opinion in People v. Carbajal on Monday, June 30, 2014.
Colo. Const. art. II, § 13—Right to Bear Arms—Possession of a Weapon by a Previous Offender—Choice of Evils—Jury Instructions—Affirmative Defense.
Reversing the court of appeals, the Supreme Court held that the trial court did not err in instructing the jury that, to raise an affirmative defense to possession of a weapon by a previous offender (POWPO), defendant must show that he possessed the weapon for the purpose of defending himself, his home, or his property from what he reasonably believed to be a threat of imminent harm. This instruction properly reflects the Court's precedent in People v. Blue, 544 P.2d 385, 391 (1975), which upheld the POWPO statute against a claim that it unconstitutionally infringed on the right to bear arms under Colo. Const. art. II, § 13, based on the legislature's provision of a choice of evils affirmative defense. Because the choice of evils defense includes both a reasonableness and imminence requirement, the trial court did not err in including these requirements in its instruction.

No more to follow… unless there's something in the small print
Plucked from the obscurity of his London commute back in the mid-Nineties to live in Bath and edit bike mags our man made the jump to the interweb back in 2006 as launch editor of a large cycling website somewhat confusingly named after a piece of navigational equipment. He came up with the idea for road.cc mainly to avoid being told what to do… Oh dear, issues there then. Tony tries to ride his bike every day and if he doesn't he gets grumpy, he likes carbon, but owns steel, and wants titanium. When not on his bike or eating cake Tony spends his time looking for new ways to annoy the road.cc team. He's remarkably good at it.

6 Tips for Sharing a Meal & Conversation with Non-Vegans
It's holiday time. From Thanksgiving to Christmas to New Year's, there may be multiple occasions when you find yourself in social situations around people who don't follow a vegan or plant-based lifestyle. Having some mental preparation for such times can help to diffuse potentially uncomfortable situations.
Every situation is different, but here are some general tips for navigating social engagements, in particular discussing veganism while sharing a meal with non-vegans.
Sharing a Meal & Conversation with Non-Vegans
1. Think of the big picture
Firstly, there are plenty of people out there who are open to change and the vegan lifestyle, so don't get too frustrated if you happen to be temporarily surrounded by people who are resistant to it. Meals aren't always the best place to have deep discussions about the ethical or health aspects of food.
That being said, you may be asked about your food choices. If that's the case, just keep your answers as brief, yet as polite as possible. If people are genuinely interested they can pursue the questioning further, maybe after the meal or when you're away from other company. You could always pass on your email address to them as well, in case they would like to find out more.
Just remember, even if no one at that particular gathering is the least bit supportive of a vegan life, there are plenty of others out there who are. So, don't get discouraged.
2. Be patient
Not everyone will change 100 percent and become vegan overnight. Don't expect them to. Be patient with others who seem interested in the vegan lifestyle. Giving people space and the opportunity to initiate the changes themselves is often the best thing you can do.
If people seem interested in learning more, especially if they are people close to you (family, etc), make sure to provide support, but also give them the space they need to take gradual steps. The small steps they make now can pave the wave for greater change further down the road, so let them find what motivates them most to make those changes to their lifestyle.
When people make change themselves, they feel empowered. When they are told what to do they can feel belittled. So respect people and give them the opportunity to alter their behaviour of their own volition. Without feeling pressured, they're more likely to stick with the lifestyle as it will mean something to them.
The less animals consumed in the long run, the better for everyone. So, give others time to make changes and figure out the way that is best for them to make permanent change they will stick with.

3. Focus on commonality
You likely share some similarities with those around you, find them and focus on those aspects, rather than fixating solely on your differences. Maybe you can relate over work, other hobbies, or current events. Start with things or interests you have in common and work out from there. Keep the conversation on topics you can all relate and contribute to.
4. Be approachable
However, people will often have questions, so be open to answering them as best you can. As much as possible be responsive and give the person a positive experience.
If they approach the subject of veganism and inquire about the lifestyle, particularly if they pursue the questioning, they are probably asking because they are truly interested.
But take it slow, only share what you think will benefit them the most where they're at. You don't need to load them up and overwhelm them with information on the first day. They can always search out and find more info as they go along.
The best way you can help is by giving them some tips that helped you. After all, we're all in this together, so let them know that. And, let them know you're available to help however you can.
5. Take responsibility
Take responsibility for your own happiness. Don't let your happiness depend upon other people changing their behaviour. Instead, set the example you want to see others follow. Act in a way that you want to see reflected in the world. Don't make your happiness depend on the actions of others, for only you control your own happiness.
Doing the best you can to have a positive, compassionate effect on the planet is the best example that you can set for others. And if you're helping others while living authentically, you'll be happier for it.

6. Be Prepared
As far as food goes, be prepared. Take your own food if possible, as for a potluck, or eat before going if need be. If you do take your own food, be sure to take enough to share with others as well. People will often want to try out your dish, probably because it just looks so darn good.
If dinner is to be served by others, just stick with what you know or feel comfortable eating. Many restaurants and people are often happy to accommodate you if you ask for some simple baked potatoes, steamed vegetables, or the like.
As for the company, you may want to have some prepared responses to frequently asked health questions or resources to direct people to, especially if doing so ahead of time will put you more at ease. The less you know the people you will be socialising with, the more you may want to be prepared. So, prepare as much, or as little, as you feel comfortable with.
Most of all, just relax and enjoy yourself.
It's probably only a few hours of your life, so don't let certain discomforts keep you from having a nice time and enjoying some good conversation with others. Focus on the company, and not as much on the food (going prepared can help tremendously with this).

Picking up the pieces of a stalled development project
All too often we hear of software projects that are running into trouble, stalled or that have been abandoned entirely.
It is unfortunately more common than it should be, and can happen for a number of reasons, including:
- Running over budget or missing delivery milestones
- Lack of clarity around requirements resulting in a product that is not fit for purpose
- Day to day operational pressures taking precedence on project resources
- A disagreement or dispute between the customer and supplier
- Loss of a key stakeholder with no replacement to fill the gap
Whatever the cause, a struggling or failed development project can have far wider implications for the future of the business than the obvious short term financial one.
Failure to deliver a key strategic software project can mean loss of market innovation, increased costs of production or lack of competitiveness for the business involved.
Expert Help to get your project back on track
At Evergreen our experienced team of project managers and software developers can help rescue a stalled or failed project, or simply help to re-focus activity on a failing one, to get it back on track.
The first stage in any rescue is to understand the current status of the project and the issues preventing its successful completion. These understood, we will re-assess current requirements to ensure the new brief remains fit for purpose and that a clear way forward can be established.
A comprehensive roadmap will then be created to deliver the project, either internally, via other suppliers, or if you wish, our team can take over full management and delivery for you.
Have a software project that is failing to deliver?

When building your new home, there is a one time opportunity to build things right, especially when it comes to the energy efficiency details. Mike understands this and uses the right products for the correct application and installs them correctly. This will ensure comfort, beauty and longevity in your new home.
Many times it's not just the finishes such as the windows, siding and roof, or the flooring, cabinets and countertops that determine the quality of your home, but the things that you don't see. Mike believes that, "What you don't see matters", and builds to a higher level of quality. Below are some of the products, techniques and other details that go into making your new home the best home possible.
1. Air sealed attics: Our attics are air sealed with foam prior to adding R50 attic insulation. This step greatly adds to the energy efficiency of your home by eliminating air leakage and drafts.
2. Air sealed fixtures: Another important step in energy efficiency is to seal light fixtures and bath fans from the attic side.
3. Back bracing system: This foot lock back bracing system offers superior strength and holding power to keep the foundation walls from cracking during the backfill process.
4. Blower door testing: All of Mike's homes are very energy efficient and are tested and certified. The blower door test instantly measures the amount of air leakage in a new home. Mike's homes routinely in the top 20% for overall efficiency in new homes.
5. Door bell: Although a door bell is a small thing, it is ideal if it can be located between the door and sidelight. With this door, the wire was concealed in a specially cut groove and hidden behind the door trim.
6. Drain tile gravel: A drain tile system is very important for any home as it can be used to pump out ground water and can evacuate radon gas if it is present. Mikes takes great care in this step and brings in the gravel need via cement trucks that is spread by hand with a wheel barrow and rake. While this method is more time consuming if provides for a uniform gravel thickness and clean installation.
7. Foundation coating: While there are many different foundation coating products, Mike's installs a gray colored, 100% polymer product. This product is rubberized and offers the best protection against any potential water intrusion.
8. Foundation insulation: Because energy efficiency is so important to Mike's, the foundation walls and basement floors are always insulated. Typically basement walls are insulated with fiberglass batts the can hold moisture and lead to potential mold problems. With Mike's, the unfinished basement walls are insulated with Thermax brand, white faced foam. This foam not only offers a good R-value and reduces any mold potential, but is also a white color that will keeps your basement storage spaces brighter.
9. Great looking drywall: We work hard to achieve a smooth, defect free finish on your walls and ceilings. Your walls and ceilings are inspected with bright lights to highlight any defects that can then be easily sanded out. Your ceilings are primed twice, this helps to eliminate shadowing.
10. In-floor heat: While in-floor heat systems are not installed in every home, they do offer a warm consistent heat, especially in lower level living spaces. Pictured is a circulating hot water system that gets imbedded into the concrete floor.
11. Insulated attic access: Typically a fiberglass batt is installed in this area.
They are dirty, cumbersome and impossible to position correctly to seal the space. We use insulated foam panels with a foam rubber seal to guarantee air tightness.
12. Kick out flashing: Kick gffgout flashings are a must. They are installed at the bottom of the roof where it intersects the siding on a wall. If this area is not flashed correctly, water will leak in behind the siding, rot the wood and create a mold issue. Many times the home owner is not aware of this problem until it is discovered years later.
13. Laser: We use lasers to square in your foundation, level, and plumb your walls to tolerances less than 1/16″. This important process takes more time but will assure your flooring, cabinets and millwork all fit properly to give you the best quality job possible.
14. Millwork sanding: Mike's inspects your new doors and interior millwork and sands out small factory defects or mill marks before finishing.
15. Newel post anchor: Have the stair posts come loose in your current home? Mike's orders extra long newel posts for your stair system so they can be anchored through the wood floor or into the concrete floor. This assures that they stay solid for the life of the home.
16. Organized mechanical rooms: Much thought goes into the layout of the mechanical room during the plan design phase. There are a many mechanical systems and components that are installed in a new home. A pre designed mechanical space allows for all systems to be located in one area which optimizes space management, and allows for easy access for future maintenance and repair.
17. Pressure blown insulated walls: This system offers an R23 value, but will perform much better than that. As this product is installed under pressure, the insulation is packed in more dense that standard fiberglass batts. The higher density installation restricts the air convection current that is present in a typical wall cavity, thus improving the overall efficiency.
18. Quality equipment: We bring in the right equipment for the job. Whether we are removing trees, installing your driveway or compacting around the foundation we use the right piece of equipment for maximum efficiency.
19. Spray foam: Spray foam is a great product and is used for insulating and especially air
sealing. Mike's uses spray foam in the box joists, attics and in the 2 x 4 walls built in front of
concrete walls. Spray foam add strength and seals out air, moisture and bugs.
20. Tyvek house wrap: While Tyvek brand house wraps cost more than other house wraps on the market, Tyvek will out perform them in the long run. Most house wraps help with air infiltration, but Tyvek works especially well to keep out wind driven rain that can push in behind the siding and will keep water from getting to the wood portion of the structure.

Hello readers, followers and longtime blog fans,
TheNewSergBeret.com will no longer be the main domain name. Instead, it will become Film-A-Week.com (film-a-week.com). This change is being done to give the site an identity it can be proud of an easier to find. It comes from the original blog series on the site titled Film A Week back in 2013 and the new podcast Film A Week Podcast which began its run in 2016. For the time being, visit and like our Facebook page at Film A Week Podcast and our SoundCloud page here at Film a Week Podcast.
The name change was something I personally debated, but felt was necessary to start giving the Film A Week project a home and a stronger presence. Though Serg Beret is a clever name for a persona, it is not a clever name for a website and I've learned that the hard way when promoting the site. Film-A-Week.com will be the beginning of the next phase as we move into more film and pop culture based content with podcasts and written posts. We hope to have two new shows up and running be the time the new site launches.
The current step is to allow more access to the contributors that helped with the site to allow themselves to post their own film reviews, Top of the Crop lists, stories and personal ramblings. This allows them to get their own ideas and thoughts out and not be regulated to just podcast hosts.
We personally cannot wait for the next step in this website's history and hope to bring you the same wonderful content we have brought you over the years.
Thank you,
Sergio J. Berrueta
Content Creator and Writer

Revised September 7, 2016; revised #2 on March 15, 2018
1. The transition of a life stream from one existence (bhava) to another takes place during the last citta vithi of the present bhava, for example from a human to an animal or a deva. For a fundamental description of this process, see, "Cuti-Patisandhi – An Abhidhamma Description".
- But here let us look at how different types of kamma as well as one's "gathi" lead to corresponding rebirths in different realms.
2. As discussed in "Akusala Citta and Akusala Vipaka Citta", all 10 types of akusala kamma are done with 12 types of akusala citta.
- Only those five akusala citta with wrong views (micca ditthi) or vicikicca can lead to rebirth in the apayas (four lower realms). Those akusala citta lead to just one patisandhi vipaka citta and it is called the "akusala vipaka upekkha santirana citta". This is the type of citta that comes to the mind of the dying person destined for the apayas.
- The two dislike-rooted (patigha) citta are stopped from arising at the Anāgāmi stage, and the remaining five akusala citta do not arise only in Arahants; see, "Akusala Citta and Akusala Vipaka Citta".
3. Yet, that one patisandhi citta can lead to rebirth in an uncountable number of "bhava" in the four lowest realms. In the animal realm itself there are an uncountable number of varieties.
- Thus what really determines the actual "place of birth" in the four lowest realms is one's "gathi". Once the fate is determined by to be born in one of the four lowest realms due to an akusala kamma, the next step for nature is to match "gathi to gathi". A greedy person is likely to be matched with a birth in the peta realm (hungry ghosts), and really vicious person is likely to head to the hell (niraya); see, "How Character (Gathi) Leads to Bhava and Jati".
4. Now let us look at how rebirth takes place according to one's kusala kamma. As we discussed in the post, "A Simple way to Enhance Merits (Kusala) and Avoid Demerits (Akusala)", the merits of a kusala kamma is ENHANCED when it is done without moha, i.e., without micca ditthi (or with at least mundane samma ditthi).
- Thus out of the 8 maha kusala kamma (great meritorious actions), 4 are done with knowledge (in addition to alobha and adosa, i.e., generosity and loving kindness). Since they have all three kusala roots, they are called "tihetuka" ("thi" means three and "hethu" means roots). They lead to the best kind of rebirths, called "tihetuka patisandhi" or "rebirth with three roots".
- The other four maha kusala kamma are done with generosity and loving kindness, but without mundane or lokottara samma ditthi. Thus the resulting kamma vipaka lead to "dvihetuka patisandhi" or "rebirth with two roots". They also lead to birth in the realms 5 through 11 (i.e., in human and deva realms), but they will have less kammic power for that birth.
5. It is only those with tihetuka patisandhi can attain magga phala and attain Ariya jhanas in this life. Those with "dvihetuka patisandhi" lack in necessary wisdom (but this is NOT book knowledge); they can make progress and acquire necessary merits to have a future tihetuka patisandhi. But it is impossible to say who has a tihetuka or dvihetuka patisandhi; only a Buddha is capable of that.
- There is one more patisandhi citta that is possible from a lower grade maha kusala kamma. This is also a kamma done without knowledge, but also with less enthusiasm. This is called a kusala vipaka upekkha santirana citta and is a "rebirth with no good roots" or an "ahetuka patisandhi". Note that here even though there are two roots present technically, they are very weak due to absence of enthusiasm (for example, some people participate in meritorious work just because others do it or they did not have a choice).
- Such an "ahetuka patisandhi" can leads to births only in the human or the lowest deva realm. Such a birth is comparatively easy to recognize (but not always): people with ahetuka patisandhi have low IQ, could be blind or deaf at birth, or be severely handicapped. However, such deficiencies COULD occur due to problems encountered in the womb (if the mother is a drug addict or had an ailment during the pregnancy); that is why in some cases you encounter people with above characteristics, but are smart. They are not really born with an ahetuka patisandhi, and could learn Dhamma and/or attain jhanas.
6. Thus we see that there is only one patisandhi citta due to the 10 akusala kamma (from 12 akusala citta), and 9 possible patisandhi citta due to the 8 maha kusala kamma.
- The remaining patisandhi citta lead to rebirth in the Brahma loka (16 rupa loka and 4 arupa loka). These rise due to jhanic states: rebirth in the rupa loka are due to the 5 rupa jhanas and rebirth in the 4 arupa loka are due to the 4 arupa jhanas.
7. Therefore, only 19 patisandhi citta that lead to rebirth anywhere in the 31 realms. As we have discussed, there are uncountable number of species (we ourselves can see numerous animal species). What differentiates different species are the "gathi". You can see that each species has its own "character": Even within a given species, there are differences in "gathi". If you look at dogs, there are some who are vicious and then there are ones that are cuddly (poodles).
- In the days of the Buddha, it is said that when someone dies, relatives of the deceased usually ask the Buddha "what is the jathi and what is the gathi" of the new birth. These days we don't have the Buddha to tell us, but we ourselves can sort of guess what "gathi" we have and make sure to change them for the better.
- When one attains the Sotapanna stage, any "gathi" matching those in the apayas are permanently removed (hate, greed, ignorance at the highest levels).
- At the Sakadagami stage, one's liking to a "dense body" to enjoy sense pleasures is removed; such a "dense body" is one that can get diseases, and thus a Sakadagami is never born in human or lower realms where sickness and body aches are a fact of life.
- Then at the Anagami stage, one loses craving for enjoying pleasures with the nose and tongue, and thus one can find matching "gathi" only in the rupa and arupa loka.
- Once the Arahant stage is reached one loses craving for any sense pleasure with even a trace of matter or any connection to matter, and the mind attains the true freedom; no more "gathi" left.

But, since we knew we were going to see each other before the actual ceremony, our photographer suggested we do a reveal shot. Prior to that day we had big plans for doing it somewhere more exciting, but since the men were running late we got lazy and just went out front of the B&B.
What you can't see in this picture is that our friends were standing off to the left of the camera, laughing at us.
I think our photographer said something like "Don't you want to check each other out?" Oh, right.
Examining the eBay purchased suspenders that I ordered but didn't arrive until that day!
And then back to lovey eyes and making out...
Up next: We all romp around town in our wedding gear.

In his youth Brother Miller used to run with the street gangs of Acryn, thieving and robbing without thought for the harm done to others. However he made the mistake of attempting to mug a priest of the warrior, and after a whooping the priest saw a glimmer of promise in the boy and dragged him off to the countryside to drill some discipline into him.
Now a sworn protector of one of Acryn's havens, the Warrior Church has encouraged Brother Miller to lend his arm to those in need further afield, honouring the Warrior by testing his skills against more worthy foes.
An encounter with the immortal crimelord 'Two-knives' Altieri left the young warrior scarred, physically, mentally and spiritually. The psychopath's twin bladed crest is emblazoned on Brother Miller's chest, and upon his soul, a permanent reminder of his utter defeat at the hands of the unaging killer. A further taunting scar was removed by hacking his left hand off. Needless to say, the acolyte swore to get his revenge and to recover the sacred relics of the Founders stolen from his care.
As the years passed however, Miller learned to let go of his vengeance and pain and embrace the true teachings of his idol: do cool shit, have fun murderising things and don't sweat the small stuff.
Eventually, with the aid of stout companions he was able to witness Altieri's downfall and cast off the last vestiges of the failure that had haunted him. Now he is living life to the full, prowling Acryn's streets as a mysterious vigilante or stalking the wilderness hunting monsters.
Miller very briefly had the mantle of the Warrior and carried it into dragonic space to form the new godrealm, however when the time came for the ritual he balked at the sacrifice and was violently torn free from the divinity.
Class: Skirmisher

Divine Favour of the Warrior
Combat Path: Holy Crusader
True Face of the Warrior
Burning Soul
Colossus of Battle
Personal Power
Divine Tattoo: the ink within his tattoo seems to have been infused with either the Warrior's own will, or at least been influenced by his experiences with the dream of the Warrior. At minimum, a sword on his arm will tend to point him towards the nearest fight. A GM may choose to deliver information relevant to the Warrior via the tattoo. During 1 encounter where he is particularly in tune with the spirit of the Warrior he gains 2 uses of Agility. If he should ever be slain, his body will rise up with flaming hair and finish his fight (this refreshes all encounter and adventure abilities).

As long as you follow the curricula and instructions and you might be on time in submitting requirements, you can be nice. Properly, there are benefits and disadvantages of each sorts of education – on-line in addition to on campus. Simply put, a trainer is very qualified when particular standards that each state outlines has been met as a way to assist guarantee lecturers have no less than a point of proficiency. Here are some factors to consider when enthusiastic about distance learning as an choice.
Many of these free programs are endorsed by their mother or father organizations and supply continuing schooling credits and a certificates to prove you accomplished them. Folks are also doing a diploma course in Business Administration, you may apply for admission to MBA course in distance training. I might imagine to benefit from such on-line free programs or I could suggest someone.
I am not a lot interested in beginning a school per se, but beginning a college that can aid college students in the 80% they are missing in an training. Nevertheless these points can be surmounted with a dedication to achieve a set purpose of getting an on-line undergraduate degree. Online lessons are usually more helpful for college kids who work full-time and have additional family responsibilities.
MBA is offered in subjects like Worldwide business, Petroleum and Natural Gas management, Data Know-how, Human Useful resource Administration, Hospitality administration, Marketing. The university, which has been ranked as one of the top universities of India has been providing world class training to thousands of scholars and dealing professionals via distance mode.
Is an internet website which presents free school-type courses in areas such as enterprise administration, computer science, psychology and economics. The Columbia Regional Studying Center gives a variety of free on-line courses to just about anybody with a pc. You will not achieve success, when you do not have a masters or phd as students look for high quality in their training and second they would like one thing popping out from the program which is able to assist them in the long term after commencement.
I've been tossing across the thought of beginning a web based college for years now and have finally determined to do it. My background is in IT Infrastructure and Management so I've all of the backoffice bases covered. Distance education has actually come to remain, and i consider within the not too distant future, getting an on-line degree will change into the norm quite than the exception, for many who desire further schooling.

however, i want ghost as a subroute/subdirectory on my page, in the form of http://abcxyz.com/blog, and not as the main page. I have a node application that serves as my original site (the part that is http://abcxyz.com), but I can't figure out how to link the blog as the subdirectory. How do I do this?
lol nvm, i got it. i didnt copy the code, but i followed the logic here.
Glad to hear you got this solved!

Nature's humble bloodsuckers could soon be eradicated if some researchers have their way. We must think long and hard about the consequences of this.
We've all been there before: You're tucked up in bed, drifting off into a pleasant slumber, when you hear it.
That dreaded high-pitched whine. A mosquito. You have two choices: Either completely immerse yourself in a blanket fort to avoid the itchifying proboscis, or resign to hauling your sleepy self out of bed to spend a good 15 minutes blearily flailing until you whack the little bloodsucker.
But imagine if this never happened. Imagine a world without itchy bites and sleepless summer nights. Even better, a world without Zika, malaria, dengue fever or the myriad other mosquito-borne diseases that besiege humanity. It's a tantalising thought. Around 700 million people contract a mosquito-borne disease every year, resulting in millions of deaths — and, with climate change potentially expanding the range of disease-carrying mosquitos, these statistics could get even worse. Knocking out killer mozzies would be the greatest boon in human health since the eradication of smallpox.
So, could we eradicate mosquitos if we wanted to? It's certainly an outcome many scientists are striving for. Aside from the classic approach of spraying large quantities of insecticide, research has delved into alternative methods. Large-scale male sterilisation is one such technique: By genetically modifying males so that they cannot produce offspring, and then releasing them into the wild, we can potentially suppress mosquito populations. A similar approach involves the naturally-occurring Wolbachia bacteria, which affects an insect's ability to produce offspring. Introducing males infected with Wolbachia into the wild could also control mosquito populations.
But perhaps a more pertinent question is should we eradicate mosquitoes? The benefits to human health would be astounding, for sure — but at what cost? Mosquitoes are as much a part of our ecosystems as any other organism. And as we've learnt over and over again, messing with nature's order can have disastrous repercussions. From releasing cane toads in northern Australia to the ecological consequences of eradicating apex predators like wolves and sharks, our attempts to control ecosystems have inevitably backfired.
But mosquitoes are different, right? In this case, we'd be getting rid of a tiny, insignificant insect — not introducing or eliminating a predator or poisonous pest. Then again, nothing in nature is ever simple; as the classic John Muir adage observes, "When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe". What about the birds, frogs, bats, reptiles and fish that eat mosquitoes in their larval or adult forms? Or plants that need pollinators, or the mosquito's role as a waste-processor? A Nature article in 2010 explored this issue and concluded that the ramifications would be slight and temporary. Other itsy-bitsy insects would soon fill the vacant ecological niche as prey, filter-feeders or pollinators. According to entomologist Joe Conlon, quoted in the Nature article, "If we eradicated [mosquitoes] tomorrow, the ecosystems where they are active will hiccup and then get on with life".
But it's important to realise that there isn't just a single mosquito species. There are about 3,500 described species worldwide, and around 300 in Australia alone. Of these, only a few actually bite people — and, even then, it's only the female who nicks a few drops of your blood to supplement her egg-laying. Despite their much-maligned reputation, the world of mosquitoes is diverse and intriguing.
"Many mozzies are beautiful," says mosquito expert Cameron Webb from the University of Sydney, "but more so, their fascinating ability to adapt to strange ecological niches always impresses me." From alpine ranges to sunburnt deserts, and even wave-buffeted littoral rockpools, mosquitoes have found homes right across the diverse Australian landscape. One mosquito species, Aedes nivalis, survives beneath the ice and snow of the Snowy Mountains, emerging in spring when warmer weather creates snowmelt pool homes for them. Meanwhile, the Malaya mosquitoes of northern Australia have a modified mouthpiece that enables them to eat regurgitated gut juice directly from the mouth of an obliging ant.
For all our frenzied research into the human health impacts of mosquitoes, we know surprisingly little about their ecology. "After 20 years in this field, I'm still struck by the lack of ecological research," says Webb. "There's a massive gap in our scientific knowledge: We know how to kill them, we just don't know how important they are".
There have been just a handful of studies, and they've mostly found that Aussie mosquitoes aren't much more than snack food for birds, bats, fish, frogs and other arthropods. Our knowledge of their pollinating role is even sparser. "Apart from a couple of orchids, not much is known about their role as pollinators," says Webb. "As of yet, there aren't any organisms in Australia that we know are completely reliant on mosquitoes".
Overseas, there is some evidence that losing mosquitoes would have a negative effect — if only on a few esoteric species. The mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis), an American freshwater fish, has such a voracious appetite for mosquitoes that it has been introduced around the world as a form of biocontrol. Without mosquitoes, these fish would likely become extinct. (Admittedly, mosquitofish wouldn't be missed in Australia, where they are a destructive pest.) Certain pitcher plants may also struggle to survive without the waste-processing services of resident mosquitoes that provide them with essential nutrients.
But Webb has an educated hunch that there's still more to discover here in Australia. "I suspect one day we'll learn that mosquitoes may play a subtle yet important role in the life cycle of a plant or animal," he says. For example, we know that two small bat species, Vespadelus pumilus and Vespadelus vulturnus, eat mosquitoes in small amounts. Mosquitoes are like snack food compared to the bats' preferred delicacy of big juicy moths, but just as humans binge on snack food, maybe bats do, too.
"Fattening up on junk food may be important at different life stages," says Webb. "Maybe bats need more mozzie snacks when they're feeding young or breeding." It's this kind of fine-grained complexity that makes pinning down the ecological importance of mosquitoes so tricky.
For this reason, Webb stresses that we need a careful and calculated approach to mosquito control. It isn't just about blindly spraying insecticide or indiscriminately ripping out wetlands. By identifying specific problem species and monitoring them with a well-supported surveillance program, combined with community education, we can learn to live with mosquitoes — minus the disease burden.
Only around 40 of Australia's mosquito species are known vectors for human disease, including dengue fever, Ross River virus, Barmah Forest virus and an assortment of other less common ailments.
But there's one species in particular, says Webb, that we could safely eradicate to improve human health, without any environmental repercussions: the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti. This species is capable of spreading dengue fever, yellow fever, Zika virus and chikungunya, among others, plus its range overlaps substantially with human settlement areas. "Aedes aegypti has the greatest health impact in Australia, it breeds in urban water containers, is not particularly abundant and has low ecological significance," says Webb. "I feel confident their eradication wouldn't lead to significant ecological impacts and would improve human health."
But for Webb, the issue doesn't end there: "Economic and political sustainability are as important as ecological sustainability," he explains. Large-scale release of sterile male mosquitoes would be expensive and operationally difficult, and would need to be continually performed as mosquitoes recolonise mosquito-free areas. It seems there's a reason we still have to deal with mosquitoes and their associated troubles, after all: Eliminating mosquitoes is hard, and our best efforts to be rid of them continue to fall short.
Despite these criticisms, some biotech firms are blazing ahead with field trials. Oxitec, based at Oxford University in the UK, have performed several small-scale releases of sterile males in the Cayman Islands, Brazil and Panama with excellent short-term results. In these urban release areas, A. aegypti declined by up to 90%. However, Oxitec have faced challenges implementing their solution elsewhere: Plans to perform trials in Florida were met with swift and fierce public backlash against the 'Frankenmosquito.' While these initial results may seem promising, handling public perception and assessing long-term effectiveness remain significant hurdles.
The mosquito problem is a complex tangle of ethical, ecological, medical and economic questions that we're only just beginning to unravel. But if you've absorbed anything from this foray into the world of mosquitoes, perhaps it's a sense that, as a group of organisms, they are not ecologically obsolete. In fact, they're ecologically fascinating. Mosquitoes are part of the diversity of life on earth — a diversity that we value, where each species has some intrinsic worth. So, while the eradication of certain species — like A. aegypti — would undoubtedly be a good thing health-wise, perhaps we shouldn't hope for a completely mozzie-free summer night.

Can Halal Cosmetics Outgrow Their Niche?
"In one of Seoul's busiest neighbourhoods lies Myeongdong 8-gil, better known to locals as 'Cosme Road.' It's been dubbed as such because of the countless cosmetic stores that line up the street, from The Face Shop, Skin Food and Nature Republic to Innisfree, Missha and Etude House. One brand, however, is unlike the rest. Talent Cosmetic, which currently operates six stores in the district, sells a range of beauty products from matte lipsticks and BB creams to cleansing oils and sheet masks. In December 2014, it became the first Korean makeup company to obtain halal certification from the Malaysian government." Read more at Business of Fashion.
