Trndez: Christian Armenians celebrate feast of purification
This is a joyful holiday in all provinces and villages of Armenia, as well as in capital Yerevan, celebrated by young adults, newly-weds and all families in general. People make bonfires in their yards, make circles and go round the bonfire, and in the end they jump over the flame. Newly-weds jump over the fire in couples, and on this day recently married women usually receive gifts from their mothers-in-law.
According to a church ritual, the faithful go to churches and take the lit candles home to their families. This is considered to be a Christian feast for newly-weds and families.
"The tradition of making a bonfire resembles the Lord's light and warmth, and it must not be confused with pagan rituals, when fire was idolized and worshipped. According to Grigor Tatevatsi's interpretation, jumping over the fire we show its being ignoble and low," says priest Ter Adam Makaryan.
Priest Ter Markos Mangasaryan explains that jumping over the fire symbolizes joy and happiness for newly-wed youths and families, and it has nothing in common with people's superstition of getting rid of threats and misfortunes and making wishes, because the true religious belief contradicts the superstitions.
The word 'Tiarn'ndaraj' symbolizes the presentation of the 40 day-old Christ Child to the Temple in Jerusalem and glorifies Simeon's articulation of "a Light to lighten the Gentiles". This is an appeal to all faithful people to implement the will of God.
On the morning of the Feast Day (February 14), divine liturgies are offered at Armenian churches around the world, followed by the blessing of newly-weds.

This page contains information for Summer 2019, for NSERC USRAs with professors from the Faculty of Science.
The NSERC Undergraduate Student Research Awards (USRA) in Universities program is meant to stimulate interest in research in the natural sciences and engineering, and the pursuit of research careers in these fields. Recipients engage in a research and development activity under the supervision of a professor holding an NSERC grant. It is an opportunity to gain research experience in an academic setting, while receiving financial support. Note that this program is offered at McGill as well as other universities across Canada.
Value and tenure
When: The Faculty of Science offers NSERC USRAs in the Summer term (May through August).
Duration: 16 consecutive weeks on a full-time basis.
Value (INCREASED!): Minimum $7000 in the Faculty of Science, consisting of $4500 from NSERC + minimum of $2500 from the supervisor
(This is an increase from minimum $5625 in 2017, and minimum $6500 in 2018.)
Travel allowance: may be granted if you take up the award at a university other than the one at which you are currently registered (see the NSERC website and the Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (GPS) webpage).
FRQNT Supplements
FRQNT Supplements: The Fonds de recherche du Québec – Nature et technologies (FRQNT) offers a $2000 supplement to NSERC USRA holders enrolled at an eligible university in Quebec. Students apply directly to the FRQNT (not McGill) and receive the supplements from them.
Note: For NSERC USRAs held in Summer 2019, you will not be able to apply from the FRQNT supplement until you receive a letter (by email) for NSERC; this usually happens in July. When last checked, the FRQNT application deadline for Summer 2019 has not yet been posted; but for comparison, last year's deadline was August 31.
Also note: For NSERC USRAs held in Winter 2019, the application deadline is April 30, 2019, at 4pm. More information.
Student eligibility
You must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada. To apply, you must be registered, at the time you apply, in a bachelor's degree program. To hold an award, you must have been registered in a Bachelor's degree in at least one of the 2 terms immediately previous to the award. You may hold a maximum of three USRAs throughout your university career. There are other requirements too: please consult the USRA information on NSERC's website. Individual departments may set higher application cutoffs than NSERC's minimum requirements, and this award application process is competitive.
Students from other universities may also apply.
You cannot concurrently hold a SURA, Arts ARIA, McGill International Experience Award (formerly Schull Yang Award), or similar award. Exceptions to the above must be requested in advance.
Supervisor eligibility
The single most important thing is that your proposed supervisor must be a professor who holds an eligible active NSERC research grant. However, there are other requirements; please refer to our Eligible supervisors webpage for more details.
Where and with whom to apply
To submit a complete application, you need to identify an eligible professor to serve as your proposed supervisor and to submit a project proposal for you. If you start at the webpages for Science departments, you can browse each unit's site to find professors' research websites. For Physics projects/professors, see also this page. See also details below regarding forms.
Apply through your proposed supervisor's school or department, not necessarily your own. You will find the departmental contacts and deadlines further below.
Each Faculty of Science unit has a quota of available awards, and has its own selection process and deadlines.
Forms, including transcripts
The checklist (required), forms, and instructions are available via the Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies webpage for NSERC USRA with further links to the NSERC online application forms.
You must submit your form (Form 202, part 1) before your professor can do his or hers (Form 202, part 2).
Regarding transcripts:
- As part of your form, you must upload a scan of official transcripts of all universities you attended, scanned into one document (PDF).
- This includes separate official transcripts from each university you may have attended; for example, prior to McGill, on exchange, in the summer, etc.
- NSERC will accept McGill's new e-Transcript.
- If you have difficulty combining other transcripts with the e-Transcript, you may want to request paper copies of all official transcripts instead, and then physically scan them all yourself into one PDF.
Departments, contacts, where to submit, and deadlines
You must provide your application (paper or PDF, as instructed) to a McGill department. Simply submitting the electronic forms on the NSERC portal is insufficient, because the staff in McGill departments who select the awardees do not have access to rhe NSERC system.
Where you apply depends on your supervisor's department, not your own department.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Any mkinitrd and kernel version from original FC6 distribution up to the last
How reproducible:
Both running mkinitrd and trying to update kernel
Steps to Reproduce:
1. see above
Actual results:
see above
Expected results:
initrd file
Additional info:
1) The same result is obtained by excluding any module or option (scsi, raid,
etc) in the mkinitrd command
2) The PC where the problem occurs is a Pentium-IV with hyper-threading support,
on which Fedora installs and runs a SMP kernel.
3) The FC6 installation was affected by the infamous i586-kernel issue, but the
mkinitrd problem still persists after installation of the 686 kernel
4) Presently, the kernel version running on the PC is (output of uname -a):
2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 #1 SMP Mon Oct 16 14:37:32 EDT 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

List of installed RPM's detected during (hanged) pup updating
News about mkinitrd bug:
FC6 reinstalled from scratch (with kernel=i686 option to prevent installation of
i586 kernel). When, after first reboot, pup tries to update installed packages
it hangs, as usual, during kernel update.
A list of installed packages, as detected by "rpm -qa" while pup hangs waiting
for mkinird has been attached.
The "ps -ef" output related to the pup update is:

Further news:
now mkinitrd (and kernel update) works after setting:

among boot parameters.
Suggestions are welcome to identify boot/bios parameters responsable for the
mkinitrd malfunction without having to perform a systematic trial-and-error
I've got the same problem on a working system, rpm hang during kernel install.

Tried downgrading nash and mkinitrd to 126.96.36.199.2, but the problem didn't go away.
Also tried to install the three most recent kernels I had on my local fedora
mirror site:
all hung on the same operation.
currently running kernel is 2.6.18-1.2798.
I also tried to reboot with the parameters specified by the Pietro, and was
afterwards able to install the new kernel. I tried to remove the parameters and
while beeing on the .2933 kernel install the .2925 kernel, this worked as well.
mkinitrd hangs again!!!
Upon updating from 2.6.20-1.2925.fc6 to 2.6.20-1.2933.fc6 kernel, in spite of
acpi=off pci=noacpi noapic pci=biosirq apm=off settings in /etc/grub.conf that
previously fixed the problem, mkinitrd hangs again.

School Is In Session
Striped bass action is heating up around Delaware's waterways. These are all the resident fish, not migratory, The "surf rats" are feeding in the wash,they are easy to catch on sand fleas. Indian RIver inlet all along the rock walls. Back bay action around rips and structure is hot day and night. The Lewes canal and area creeks are seeing some great action. The fish are starting to school up and prepare for the fall run like they do every year.
I don't care what anyone says I love catching these small bass on ultralight gear it is a lot of fun. The creek and small river action has been a lot of fun. This is a great time for anyone of any age and catching is much easier once you find a school.
If you locate a school by boat keep away from them, and cast to them. Form lad it is easy just keep casting to them, look for areas during rough weather where bait fish will get jammed up. Swim shads, tandem bucktails, and even speck rigs will work just fine. Gone fishing be back later.
Fish On!

Iphone 8
iPhone X sales to begin today: Is the phone supply shortage real or staged?
The much-anticipated phone is testing the patience of consumers and investors as demand outstrips suppliers' capacity.
iPhone X to be available on Airtel's online store from November 3
The company is likely to offer various plans bundled with the phone.
Dull Show: Only a third of iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus sold on day 1 of launch
The debut of the iPhone 8 in the country was a stark contrast to previous launches, when demand would outstrip supply and leave retailers out of stock within an hour.
iPhone 8, 8 Plus launching today, bookings hit by impending iPhone X launch
Retailers said most of the potential consumers were waiting for the pricier and much-hyped iPhone X, which would be available just over a month after the iPhone 8 series goes on sale on Friday.
Apple ties up with RJio, Reliance Retail to offer special plans
Reliance Digital stores and Amazon will sell the iPhones offering assured buyback value of 70 per cent when people upgrade to the next iPhones that come up next year.
iPhone 8 and 8 Plus: Apple deals a blow to grey market sellers
Grey market sellers on Ebay are offering iPhone 8 64GB at Rs 76,000-78,000 with delivery from September 25. The official price of the phone in the country is Rs 64,000.
Apple to launch iPhone 8, 8 Plus in India at 6 pm on September 29
Apple India last Saturday organised a national trade meet in New Delhi where country head Sanjay Kaul and senior officials shared these details with leading retail partners.
'iPhone 8' price tipped, to sport 'function area' instead of Touch ID
The prediction goes in line with a patent recently granted to Apple , cementing speculations that the next iPhone may ditch its circular Touch ID sensor and have one integrated directly into the display.
Apple's latest patent confirms iPhone 8 will have a completely new design
According to Apple Insider website, which has access to the patent, the upcoming iPhone model could have some dedicated pixel rows or a dedicated area on the display searching for a fingerprint sensor.

DreamCloud Mattress Review Best Boxed Bed Mattress 2017
I'm super excited about today's review because I'll be taking a look at a couple of of the newest beds on the market: the DreamCloud hybrid mattress.
This bad boy combines high-density foam with encased coils for a sleeping experience that promises to be as lavish as it is supportive.
To determine how nicely this hybrid lives up to this goal, I have put it through a series of tests to measure its overall comfort and determine what type of sleeper could benefit from it most.
Read on below for my full review of the DreamCloud mattress. Best Boxed Bed Mattress 2017
The DreamCloud features an astoundingly tall profile to get a mattress in a whopping 15 inches. The eight-layer construction is broken down into foam and wrapped coil parts, which work in tandem to supply the sleeper with a firm innerspring lift and lots of comfortable pressure relief.
Given all the different substances at play here, I'm stoked to dive into these layers to see how well they interact together.
Cover: The cover is made up of a cashmere and polyester blend for a soft texture up top. It also is quilted with memory foam, which provides the sleeper with instant pressure relief.
Foam Layers: beneath the cover, you'll locate three thin layers of foam. When these sections are soft to the touch and supply some pleasing sinkage, they also respond quickly to stress, so you won't feel stuck in the mattress.
The center of the three layers is especially significant for the temperature regulation of the DreamCloud as it is comprised of perforated latex foam. Latex in general is great at dissipating heat, so the addition of these tiny ventilations supports even more cooling.
These individually wrapped springs provide that the bed excellent bounce and help to disperse motion throughout the construction.
The coils also help in controlling temperature as the distances between them allow for steady air flow.
Foundation Layer: A thin coating of high-density polyfoam lies at the bottom of the mattress, with the most important use of cradling the pocketed coils and providing a solid foundation for the entire.
After having a look at the construction of the DreamCloud, let us chat concerning the firmness and feel.
I started off by applying light hand pressure to the mattress and immediately felt the soft foam of the quilted cover and top layers.
My hand sunk to the material and I could feel some instantaneous pressure relief. Pushing in further, I began to interact with the pocketed coils experienced a nicelift from the springs.
At this time I'd like to remember that individuals of distinct body shapes and types will feel firmness otherwise.
Rather than giving just my view on the overall firmness level of the DreamCloud, I enlisted three other people to present their view as well.
Personally, I gave the bed a 7.5 and agree with the rest of the testers that it's definitely a good mattress.
As you'll feel some slight sinking out of the plush foam top layers, the individually wrapped coils in the center will lift you from the bed and make you feel like you're sleeping on top of the mattress. Best Boxed Bed Mattress 2017
Instead of just describing the sense of this DreamCloud to you, I wished to give a visual representation of where somebody may feel pressure points shape while lying on it.
To do this, I put a pressure map on top of the mattress and lied on my back, side, and stomach .
Back: After in my spine, my weight was evenly dispersed during the mattress, so I did not feel like I was sinking into the bed whatsoever.
The quilted cover provided quality relief in my lumbar area and the pocketed coils helped to lift me from the bed and keep my spine in alignment.
Side: As you can see in the graph above, once I rolled onto my side, I began to feel pressure forming in my shoulders and hips.
However, I felt encouraged and the top foam layers relieved what distress I felt in this position.
Stomach: Shifting over to my stomach, I thought the DreamCloud did a great job of lifting my hips up and from the mattress, which is key for stomach sleepers.
I must mention that I managed to transition across these places with relative ease. Best Boxed Bed Mattress 2017
If you intend on sharing your bed with a spouse , you will want to learn what it will feel like when another person crawls out of bed in the morning or tosses around at night.
This second test is intended to demonstrate that the high level of movement that is detectable from one side of the mattress into another.
To illustrate this motion transfer, I dropped a 10 lb. Steel ball from peaks of 4 inches, 8 inches and 12 inches and quantified the disturbance it caused: the larger the lines, the bigger the disturbance. The DreamCloud shows a bit of disturbance for the 4 inch drop, which simulates someone rolling around and adjusting their position on the other side of the mattress.
While the 8 and 12 inch drops reveal slightly larger spikes, I'd nevertheless look at the mattress to be quite good at isolating movement, as a result of the individually wrapped coils.
This means you're unlikely to be too disturbed by your bed mate's midnight shimmies, which makes this a great option for couples.
When purchasing a new mattress , many individuals want to know whether they will sense like they are sinking"into" the mattress or placing"on top" of it.
To picture this sinkage, I placed four chunks of varying sizes and densities (a 6 pound medicine ball, a 10 pound steel ball, a 50 pound medicine ball, and a 100 pound medicine ball) on the mattress and measured how much they compressed the surface.
The variations in size, weight and density are supposed to simulate different body parts and different sized sleepers.
- 6 lb medicine ball: 1.5 inches of sinkage.
- 10 pound steel ball: 2 inches of sinkage.
- 50 pound medication ball: 4.5 inches of sinkage.
- 100 pound medication ball: 5.5 inches of sinkage.
While you are going to experience some instant sinkage from the soft foam on top, by the time you sink through these layers, you'll hit on the wrapped coils and texture fantastic support.
This combo will interest a broad variety of sleepers, but will satisfy back and stomach sleepers in particular. Best Boxed Bed Mattress 2017
If you're likely to share your bed with a partner and need to utilize the whole surface area of the mattress, then it is likely to be crucial that you consider the quantity of edge support it will provide.
I'm particularly interested to see whether the DreamCloud will endure the exact same fate as other compressed bed-in-a-box mattresses which fail to live up to the border support of more conventional innerspring models.Lying on my spine, I felt supported at the edge of the bed as I did in the middle .
Pressing closer to the side, I experienced a little compression because of the top foam layers, but nothing too spectacular. Shifting to my side, I once again noticed compression in the foam layers, but it didn't carry over to the wrapped coil system below.
This system, along with the polyfoam border support around the mattress, did a great job of supporting my weight. In this position, I wanted to simulate what it would feel like to be sitting on the bed in the morning when you are lacing up your shoes and getting ready for the day. A lot of foam mattresses experience intense compression in this place, but the DreamCloud actually held up fairly well.

WORKERS are hoping to reopen Mottram Road by Thursday (April 25).
The A57 Godley stretch was closed following a water mains burst on April 12, which followed Transco undertaking works on a gas main.
Long diversions have since been in place, resulting in Transco and Tameside Council setting up a shuttle bus service.
The bus will run every 15 minutes from Hyde bus station to Godley Arches via a route including Sheffield Road and Clarendon Road.
Cllr Joe Kitchen said: "I'm very sorry that people have had to suffer this inconvenience, as a result of this accidental damage.
"We are trying very hard to make sure that the works are completed very quickly and I'm much happier now that the shuttle bus has been laid on. I hope people find it helpful."

Vietnam's capital city, Hanoi is an exotic blend of cultures and influences. Founded more than 1,000 years ago, the city enjoys classic and modern architecture that co-exist with an Asian style influenced by decades of French rule.
Dry Season
According to Lonely Planet, monsoons sweep through northern Vietnam from April to October, adding heavy rains to the hot weather. The torrential downpour can cause flooding, cancel trips to Halong Bay and drive up the humidity. For those who want to stay dry, the best time to visit Hanoi is between October and March. Travelers planning to visit other parts of Vietnam might want to wait until December, as typhoons can hit the central coast as late as November.
Cool Weather
Hanoi is extremely hot during the summer, from June to August, which is another reason to avoid coming during the rainy season. If it reaches 100 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer, the fall and spring months are generally in the 70s and low 80s. While travelers can still experience rains in September and April, the temperatures are cooler, and visits are still enjoyable. Frommer's recommends visiting Hanoi from November to late April, but the Word Travels guide suggests an earlier range, from September to December. This means the two overlapping months, November and December, are probably a traveler's best bet. Hanoi tourist guide

Flashback Friday: When Amitabh Bachchan was banned by media for 15 years
Getting banned by the media is a nightmare for Bollywood celebrities. Can you imagine the Megastar of Bollywood, Amitabh Bachchan was banned by the media for 15 long years.
Big B also spoke about the same on his blog a few years back. He gave a detailed info about the whole ban and it is indeed an interesting read.
Here's an excerpt...
The neck has cricked … the pain is unbearable and the movement restricted to just slow glances here and there .. put up a brave face to meet the well-wishers, and then went back to wearing the brace to keep it from further trouble .. regretted invitation to Filmfare Awards due bed rest and acknowledged their disappointment, but also understood the reason for my absence ..
They had wanted me to host the show this year along with ShahRukh .. I had liked the idea, met their team to discuss the creatives, but found it unsuitable for myself ..
They had conceptualised me going down history of Indian Cinema as tribute to 100 years of its existence, talking about the important periods and decades of the Industry from 1903, when Raja Harishchandra was the first film made by Dada Sahib Phalke, ending with Yash Chopra and then presenting the posthumous Life Time Achievement Award to his wife, Pamela Chopra. There is a claim by Bengal that the first film was made in Calcutta, and there is proof of that too, but of that another day. I had mentioned all this in my speech at the opening of the Kolkata International Film Festival, maybe we can refer to that some day ..
So … going down the history of cinema, I would have come to a period when I would have had to mention my own presence of the time. This I found embarrassing for, I would have had to talk about myself ; an act I would not be able to endorse .. so I told them my predicament and opted out. They kept up their persuasion saying they would be able to draft a suitable text for it, but I did not feel comfortable. They then asked me to give the posthumous award for Yash ji to his wife, Pamela. I had been travelling and then subsequently shooting for KBC and could not take it further. Then of course this morning I woke up with the most painful neck and informed them that I would not be able to come ..
I think they have understood, or I believe they have ..
But yes indeed, Awards and me have not been a compatible proposition; particularly with FilmFare. After an initial period of acknowledging my work, the entire press went against me , because they were informed by 'sources' that I that had brought on the idea of the Emergency and a ban on the press .. !! Nothing could have been more ridiculous. But they did not relent and banned me ; no interviews, no mention or pictures, or news of mine were ever printed in any form of the media during that time. So no Deewar, or Sharabi, or Muquaddar ka Sikander, Lawaaris, Natwarlal, Bemisal, and so many many others went blank, because the media had banned me. They banning me was reasonable perhaps from their point of view. Not for me. I took on the challenge to ban them also from my life and have so far not disturbed that stand with certain modifications of course. During that 10-15 year period, they relentlessly negated my presence, deliberately closed information of me by their agencies, and kept me as persona non grata ..! I had my biggest hits and the most interesting films of that time ..
I fell during 'Coolie' and there seemed to be a genuine concern from the media over my condition. Nari Hira, the owner of Stardust told me later they had wanted me to fail, but never wanted me to die. Things warmed up a bit after that and today they have all been acknowledged and accepted.
However the period when we were not communicating with each other, was the time when all the successful films of mine were released, and did extremely well. So there was no recognition given nor was there any effort made to ease matters.
Hence if there was any desire to honour me with an award was soon run down and negated.
I say this to explain perhaps the questions that are being raised today as the FilmFare awards get underway. It would be safe to express here then, that often merit was not considered a criteria for a win. But really the greatest merit an actor can derive is the patronage of the people that go to see our films. Nothing more matters or counts. Yes, there were times in the early parts of the careers of many artists, when winning an award was, and perhaps still is, the ultimate desire that acknowledges recognition. Give an actor public recognition through a meritorious award and that could pave the way for any commitment required from him or her. There is a hunger for it - a condition that often gets exploited.
Now of course there are many aspects to an award ceremony and why not ? If the award ceremony is gathering sponsors, selling rights to Tv, making money through advertising, then I feel it only fair that they remunerate those that shall be responsible in setting a grand price during the negotiations with buyers !! And that is what prevails now … which to me makes the award seem a business venture, than one that recognizes talent in the truest sense.
Aahh .. not a very desired topic to be discussing ..
But recognition, yes .. !! A creative monument developed by humans is never considered complete until it is liked or dislike by another human. This would involve showing it off to another or to many. With competition in every walk of life now, it would be difficult to rely on one source. With multiple organisations putting up such award shows, the value I believe of winning has become somewhat mechanical.
I do not know factually, but this is an assessment made by many who dwell in such experiences !!
To all those that gained recognition at tonight's award nite, my sincere congratulations. May you ever prosper and win in achievement, for now and for the time to come …
Love to all
Amitabh Bachchan

he is incredible at PR. noone else from his generation has remained relevant and presented themselves as a superstar...no MEGASTAR despite not being commercially viable in decades. the way he clawed back into the industry (and brought his family along) from utter bankruptcy is just stunning.
He was not banned!! He refused to interact with media as it kept on fabricating stories!!!
He is the real Superstar as his films were super hit without media tamasha that goes on now!
No matter what anyone says..
Amit ji has class,intellegence,personality and that awaaz,...
He is a real super star!!
one thing they are so greedy is awards. ofcourse they try it hard to pretend they are not running after money.
I see people here criticizing a legend...they dont the value of this superstar in Indian cinema...You will be cherished sir for your acting and humility.
King of victimhood
Blaaablaaaaa Blaaaaaaah
His writing is beautiful. He should take up journalism.
they shld have for many more years, the entire family is publicity hungry and they even buy awards, who is he fooling

Making check-ups easier
Here are seven simple things that can be done to make a patient's visit to the dentist a lot easier:
1. Make a list of concerns and questions before the dental check-up
Patients often have a hard time remembering all the questions they have during dental visits, so it is best to write them down before appointments. Patients should talk to their dentists about any issues they are experiencing like bleeding gums, tooth pain or sensitivity, sores inside the mouth, habits like teeth grinding, or difficulty brushing and flossing due to a damaged tooth.
2. Provide updates to medical history
Patients should also provide any updates to their medical history during dental check-ups. Many health issues can affect a person's oral health like diabetes, and dentists are better equipped to treat their patients when they are fully aware of the health conditions the person is dealing with. The more informed the dentist is, the more likely they will be to recommend the right treatments.
3. Provide lists of medications, supplements, and vitamins being taken
Certain medications have side effects like dry mouth, increased blood pressure, or depression which can increase the risk of gum disease and tooth decay. Other medications have a thinning effect on the patient's blood, and that can lead to increased bleeding after dental treatments are performed. When a dentist is aware of the medications a patient takes, proper steps can be made to ensure its side effects does not lead to complications during treatments.
4. Consider low-cost alternatives
This option is particularly important for those working with a budget. Finances being tight can lead to dental anxiety since the patient finds that they continuously are worried about being able to afford the necessary treatments. When working with a budget, it is best to communicate that directly with the dentist so that cheaper treatments can be explored.
5. Ask for oral hygiene tips
Dentistry is always changing, and some things that were once recommended by dentists are now considered unhealthy. Patients should talk to their dentist about the proper way to take care of their teeth and gums. Part of a dentist's job is to educate patients about their oral health so take advantage of this.
6. Arrive early
Showing up for dental appointments on time gives the patient an opportunity to relax and calm down before treatments. That leads to a more pleasant experience since the person does not feel rushed. Patients should make it a habit of arriving at least five minutes before dental appointments.
7. Consider sedation dentistry
Those who have a hard time staying relaxed at the dentist's clinic should consider sedation dentistry. This choice involves the use of sedatives to keep patients relaxed during appointments.

Tony Fruscella (Atlantic)
Blogger and Rifftides reader JazzCookie commented that her Memorial Day song was "I'll Be Seeing You." That led to a reply including trumpeter Tony Fruscella's 1955 recording of the Sammy Fain ballad. Frank Sinatra's version with Tommy Dorsey had been a bestseller when millions of Americans were away fighting World War II. Fruscella made it the basis of a medium tempo excursion through the harmonies with no direct reference to Fain's melody. Yet, in a masterpiece of fluid creativity, he left no doubt about what he was playing. Fruscella worked for brief periods with Lester Young, Gerry Mulligan and Brew Moore, and for a few months with Stan Getz. He played little after the late 1950s and in 1969 died of conditions related to drug use. This album is a monument to what he achieved when he was at his best.

The Season's Final Three Majors
The current world No. 1 Inbee Park will have an opportunity to win Evian Championship and Ricoh Women's British Open. This means that she has an opportunity to complete the Career Grand Slam. According to several experts, this young golfer is one of the best. She won the U.S. Women's Open two times, KPMG Women's PGA Championship three times and she won the ANA Inspiration (2013). This also means that she may be the seventh golfer in the LPGA history who accomplished the feat.
This South Korean golfer is known for the impressive game during this season. Fans expect that she will play well in the next three majors. You probably remember that she finished 4th at the Ricoh Women's British Open at Royal Birkdale Golf Club last year. In the previous Evian Championship, she finished T-10. Since 2013, this event has been recognized as major. Park won this event in 20123.
Sei Young Kim is a rookie, but you already know this. She was runner-up in the KPMG Women's PGA Championship and she finished T-4 on the ANA Inspiration. She made cuts in the majors in 2014. This season, she has 2 wins and four top-6 finishes. If she won a major, she will be the first rookie, after Anna Nordqvist (2009) who achieved this.
Nordqvist is still one of the most popular LPGA golfers. She won the ShopRite LPGA Classic (in May). This was her 5th LPGA victory. She finished T-9 at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship and T-4 at the ANA Inspiration. In the 4 appearances in the Ricoh Women's British Open she finished three times in the top-12.

My family loves yogurt. Since my children were little they've been eating it almost every day and my husband loves it too. It is one of our favorite go-to snacks that is portable and easy for my kids to get on their own.
This month we tried a Yulu, a delicious new yogurt. Lately my husband has been on a Greek yogurt kick, but after trying Yulu he's quickly becoming a fan of this Aussie inspired yogurt. My kids literally said it was the best yogurt they'd ever had and were asking when I could buy more.
Yulu is smoothed twice for extra creaminess and contains real fruit. What it doesn't contain is artificial flavors. It is available in vanilla bean, strawberry, blueberry, raspberry and honey.
Any yogurt endorsed by kids and guys is probably worth trying, don't you think?
Yogurt makes a great snack, and can even be a quick meal when you mix in fruit, nuts or protein.
My daughter and husband both like a little crunch in their yogurt so they suggested granola or almonds, both of those were delicious.
My younger daughter loves bananas and thought the granola and bananas were the best combination.
The fresh blueberries were a also big hit and you can always substitute with frozen when they are out of season!
I thought toasted coconut and pineapple would be a great combination in the vanilla bean yogurt.
We also like to mix-in yogurt with our smoothies. The creaminess of yulu would make a delicious smoothie combined with your other favorite fruits and vegetables.
Hello Yulu… Good-bye Greek, our family has a new favorite yogurt. If you haven't tried double smoothed, double delicious yulu yogurt find out where it is being sold near you and give it a try.
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Yulu. The opinions and text are all mine.

The September Daring Bakers' challenge was brought to us by Lucie from ChezLucie. She challenged us to make a true Czech treat –Kolaches!
I switched mine up a bit and gave it a Autumn flavor twist. Instead of the traditional quark (cheese) filling I made a pastry cream flavored with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice. Then I switched the plum jam for apricot and added a few more spices there as well. They came out delicious, if not the prettiest thing I have ever made. I would definitely make the bigger pastries next time. I was ambitious in making all the small ones but I think I would have found the bigger option easier to work with.
Still very tasty though, and that's really the most important part.

Ukraine: The War for History
Wednesday, April 15, 2015
International Lounge
A Lecture by Timothy Snyder
Bird White Housum Professor of History at Yale University
Author of Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin Timothy Snyder is the Bird White Housum
Professor of History at Yale University, where he teaches modern East European political history. He is the author of five books, including Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin (Basic Books, 2010), his prize-winning account of Eastern Europe's fate in World War Two. Bloodlands has been translated into 26 languages. "Even those who pride themselves on knowing their history," The Economist wrote, "will find themselves repeatedly brought up short by Snyder's insights, contrasts and comparisons."
In 2013 and 2014, Snyder was a visiting professor at the London School of Economics and traveled frequently to Kiev to report directly from the protests in Kiev's Maidan. Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Snyder has since testified to the U.S. Congress and spoken widely on the crisis in Europe and the U.S.

Islamist Extremism and the Integration of Muslim Minorities in Europe Today
March 16th, 2015
A luncheon and panel discussion with Jytte Klausen and Jonathan Laurence
Less than two months after the attack on the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo and a Jewish supermarket in Paris, Danish police are investigating the attack on a free speech event and a synagogue in Copenhagen that left two people dead and five police officers wounded. While citizens mourn and politicians urge solidarity with victims and muslim minorities, anti-Semitism and xenophobia continue to grow in all European countries. As does the popularity of anti-immigrant right-wing parties like Marine Le Pen's Front National and the Danish People's Party.
Experts Jytte Klausen and Jonathan Laurence provided some background and analysis of these recent developments.
Jytte Klausen is the Lawrence A.Wien Professor of International Cooperation in the Department of Politics at Brandeis University and an Affiliate at the Center for European Studies at Harvard University. Her most recent books are The Cartoons That Shook the World (Yale University Press 2009) about the Danish cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad and the worldwide protests that followed their publication, and The Islamic Challenge: Politics and Religion in Western Europe (Oxford University Press 2005, pb. 2007), which was translated into German and Turkish. Klausen is the founder of the Western Jihadism Project, a data collection and archive focused on Islamist Islamist extremist groups in the West. She leads a team at Brandeis University who are studying Islamist terrorist networks, funded initially by the UK Home Office, and now by an award from the National Institute of Justice at the U.S. Department of Justice. Klausen was a British Academy Fellow at Nuffield College, Oxford University (2003), and a Bosch Public Policy Fellow at The American Academy in Berlin (2004). She has a PhD from the New School for Social Research (1992) and a BA and MA from the University of Aarhus, Denmark. In 2007, Klausen received the Carnegie Scholars' Award for research on the integration of Muslim faith communities in Europe.
JonathanLaurence is associate professor of Political Science at Boston College and nonresident senior fellow in Foreign Policy studies at the Brookings Institution (Washington, DC). He is also an affiliate of the Center for European Studies at Harvard University, where he received his Ph.D. in 2006.

A Case Named Freud
The Goethe-Institut Boston, in association with the Austrian Cultural Forum New York and Israeli Stage, proudly presented the American Premiere of A Case Named Freud by award-winning playwright Savyon Liebrecht.
A Case Named Freud portrays the story of Sigmund Freud and the young Nazi Dr. Sauerwald, who originally plans to extradite the Freud family but then, against his boss's orders, facilitates their rescuing departure to London. The play recounts in rapid and breathtaking dialogues how Freud psychologically sees through his counterpart, pulls him onto his side and ultimately saves his family.

Surviving the Holocaust: A first hand account by survivor Edgar Krasa
December 4th, 2014
Edgar Krasa shared his amazing story of survival of Terezin and Auschwitz concentration camps. Krasa volunteered to go to Terezin as a chef on the first transports to the camp. He watched as the originally 5000 person town was forced to hold over 55,000 prisoners, with diseases like typhoid and dysentery spreading rapidly, killing many. In Terezin, Krasa found solace through music, led by his roommate and friend Rafael Schächter. For Edgar, the music gave him a voice to sing to the Nazis what he could not directly say to them. Krasa was later deported to Auschwitz for the last 6 months of the war, working in the Gleiwitz sub-camp. He escaped during the death march just before liberation.

The Good News on Climate Change: Brandeis and a World of Solutions
Monday, November 10th, 2014
5-7pm in International Lounge, Usdan
An interdisciplinary conversation between faculty experts from all three schools at Brandeis University illuminated the climate crisis and discussed practical solutions. Climate change can and must be addressed NOW with determination and optimism at all levels, from our campus to our local communities, to state, national, and global policies to prevent catastrophic global warming within this century.
This panel was timely: The 2014 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change published the synthesis of its latest report on November 1, 2014. The report calls for urgent action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. At the People's Climate March in New York on September 21st 400,000 people demanded an end to the pseudo-debate about climate change.
The solutions exist today. Germany is one of the European countries leading the way on renewable technology and climate protection policies. From changing our consumption habits to sourcing renewable energy to divesting endowments from fossil fuels faculty will weigh in on a variety of solutions and students are encouraged to join the discussion.
For those unfamiliar with the topic we highly recommend watching the free 45-minute documentary Disruption online.

You can plug in your blog URL and it will pull random words and create a word cloud, or you can plug in your own words to create a word cloud. That is what I chose to do. I am a visual/graphic person, so it was kind of fun to puke out my D words and be able to see them represented in this manner. Wordle=Cool.

We offer two different styles of fire pit. The first is our 1 piece solid ring pit which is a heavy construction that will last a lifetime.
The second is a lighter built 9 piece pit that breaks down flat. This is great for multiple reasons, when you're done using it simply let it cool down, remove and rinse off the ash, then store away when not in use. Additionally when going camping you can pop it in the truck or camper, set up is simple and requires no tools for assembly. Lastly, being able to break down the fire pit allows us to ship these pits coast to coast.

Twenty-nine years of teaching and mentoring in the tradition of Black Sect Feng Shui
Katherine Metz
Feng Shui Practitioner Teacher Mentor,
and Bau-biologist
Katherine Metz was first introduced to the art of Feng Shui by Abraham Kawaii a Hawaiian Kahuna. She then began studying twenty-nine years ago with His Holiness Professor Lin Yun the Grand Master of Black Sect Tantric Buddhism world renowned philosopher and lecturer. Her current occupation at the time allowed her to experience firsthand the power of place as a successful location scout for film and video in the San Francisco Bay Area. In that period Katherine also took it upon herself to learn the German field of Bau-Biologie or Building Biology, which is the holistic study of the built environment and its impact on human and planetary health.
Blending other aspects of her backgrounda degree in Medical Sociology from the University of Michigan and design experience from owning an interior landscape businesswith the Hawaiian and Chinese arts of healing and place Katherine created The Art of Placement where she went on to become a highly regarded practitioner teacher and lecturer. She has made a lasting mark in reaching out to the public and in her most recent endeavor serving as mentor to a select group of affiliates from around the world.
Katherine is one of the most visible spokespersons of the art in this country helping introduce Feng Shui into mainstream western culture with her lucid and practical conveyance of its sometimes esoteric philosophies. She has appeared on television and radio across the country. Her name appears in many Feng Shui books as authors acknowledge their teachers and her writings continue to be used by students and practitioners around the world. In 1998 Katherine was keynote speaker for the 2nd Annual International Feng Shui Conference. She teaches and lectures upon request on the art and science of creating a healthy home and workplace.
Through the mentorship program which begins every year in November Katherine is able to guide affiliates with varying levels of Feng Shui knowledge by creating individualized plans based on the needs aspirations and abilities of each practitioner. She is a virtual repository of knowledge and wisdom both ancient and modern upon which her students can draw. But most importantly and uniquely Katherine imparts its heartsongthe spirit that must be present in order to practice Feng Shui in a way that really touches the world.
Her work is devoted to exploring the seen and unseen ways the physical environment can spark and nurture the individuals natural potential to be as vibrant receptive and focused as possible. Katherine has provided her unique services for over twenty-two years in private homes corporate offices small businesses schools restaurants and health care facilities helping her clients create environments where they experience tangible and positive changes. Sleeping gets better communication becomes more effective family peace is restored business multiplies and people get well.
Most recently Katherine has extended her reach to introduce wisdom practices to all those interested in moving beyond the limits of conventional thought and action. With an immediate connection to wise counsel that would otherwise have remained invisible she and others are standing with artists and scientists daring to explore and shape the reality that exists beyond the comprehension of human reason. She is crossing boundaries knowing that life is more than logic.
Katherines extensive Audio Web Library also allows you to tap into the teachings of Professor Lin Yun. See the link to the Library at http://www.katherinemetz.com. You can download the audio-classes to your computer as .wav files and listen at any time. If you wish to participate live please call Katherine and have your email address added to the tele-class list. You will be notified of all future tele-classes. You can sit at home and listen in.
