Taking care of your teeth is a very important part of the way people see you. It's also important to your overall health and well being.
According to the American Dental Association, to maintain healthy dental hygiene, you should:
* Brush your teeth at least twice a day. Ideally, brush after each meal and always before going to bed.
* Brush your teeth properly. It is recommended to brush for a continuous 2 minutes.
* Floss Daily.
* Eat healthily – It makes a difference. Good balanced meals are always better for you than snacking. Stay away from candy and other sweets. If you indulge in a sweet, especially a sticky candy, always remember to brush your teeth as soon as possible.
* Visit your dentist for check-ups regularly.
This last point is truly the most important thing you can do to ensure oral health. It comes as a surprise to many that no matter how much you brush or how much you floss, the only way to ensure long term oral health is to actually visit your dentist.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

A culinary union strike could cost Las Vegas hundreds of millions of dollars.The Culinary and Bartenders' unions voted to approve a potential city wide strike.
More than 50,000 workers prepared to strike if they don't come to an agreement with casinos by June 1.
"Even if there's not a full-blown strike, there will definitely be more demonstrations and possible walkouts of various hotels until there's a deal," explained UNLV law professor Ruben Garcia.
He said the last major strike caused major impacts.
"In 1984, the industry was a bit smaller and yet still there was more than $75 million in losses in wages and benefits. I think in today's dollars that's about $250 million."
Since then, the industry's grown tremendously.
"I think we're likely going to see, if there's any kind of a long strike, even a week or so, likely to see heavy losses on both sides," Garcia said.
With major events like the Stanley Cup Final right in the middle of this, a strike could be detrimental.
"There could be a full strike with rooms not getting cleaned, food not getting served, drinks not getting served," Garcia said. "The possibility of walkouts or street demonstrations that would tie up traffic on Las Vegas Boulevard."
It's something both sides said they hope to avoid.

I really like that thought. I always tell my clients to take baby steps when they are organizing and then it doesn't seem so hard.
I walk 4 miles 5 to 6 days a week and once in a blue moon I am so tired I think, if I go any slower I'll be going backwards. Thank goodness that isn't very often.

Penny Launches Transitional Organic Fruit And Veg Range
Published on Apr 9 2018 4:45 PM in Fresh Produce tagged: Organic / Germany / Rewe / Penny
German discount retailer Penny has launched a new fruit and veg range to incentivise producers transitioning between conventional and organic farming practices.
The new 'Junior-Helden' range is part of the retailer's 'Naturgut' private-label range and will initially include apples, lemons and tomatoes.
Junior Helden apples was the first product launched today for the price of €2.99 per kilo in Penny stores across federal states, excluding Thuringia, Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt.
The initiative is targeted at producers who are transitioning their farming practices to organic standards, according to Penny.
Organic Transition
In Germany, farmers have to adapt organic practices for a period of a few years before they are allowed to use the official organic label on their products.
The Junior-Helden products will come at a slightly higher price than regular fresh produce, but cheaper than organic, in order to help farmers offset the financial burden of this transition phase.
"Simply put, the effort to adapt organic farming practices gets larger, while the product becomes smaller," said Patricia Brunn, Penney head of fresh fruit, vegetables, flowers and plants. "We frequently hear from farmers that they would like to transition from conventional to organic farming but that the financial risk is too high."
Financial Incentive
"With the Naturgut Junior-Helden we've created a concrete financial incentive by paying farmers more for their produce during the transition period," Brunn continues. "For apples, the price is 26% higher. However, only a small part of this premium will be felt by the consumer, so that won't stop Naturgut Junior-Helden from becoming a popular alternative."
"Basically, the products have an organic quality standard but are closer to conventional products in price," she added. "We hope that organic farms continue to grow, especially in Germany."
Ulrich Beckmann, of the Altländer fruit farm outside Hamburg, decided to join the Junior-Helden program due to the financial support it offers:
"Organic farming often implies manual labour and you can't use as many pesticides," he said. "This keeps many farmers from transitioning to organic. Especially because you can't label products with the organic label for a number of years, even if you already conform to 100% organic standards."
"That's where Junior-Helden does the right thing. It increases the price, which helps us financially but also shows appreciation for the work that goes into the product," he said.

Updating to openSUSE 11.2
As mentioned openSUSE 11.2 is now available. If you're on previous versions of openSUSE you can do an inplace upgrade to 11.2 by using zypper.
openSUSE 11.0/openSUSE 11.1
Just change the repos to mention 11.2 instead of 11.0/11.1, as shown in the pic:

Upgrading to KDE 4.2 in your favorite Linux distro
Couple of days ago I'd posted about KDE 4.2 being released. As much as I wanted to upgrade KDE 4.2, I couldn't do so immediately as it was not available in official Repos, the community repos had the RC version. Everyday I would do a equo search kde-meta hoping that I'd see the KDE 4.2 branch, and guess what it was available today :D
Drum Roll please, KDE 4.2 is released!
After nearly a year, the fantastic guys developing KDE have released the much anticipated KDE 4.2 version. The 4.2 version comes after about a year after a (disastrous) KDE 4.0 release. Linus might've switched to Gnome [no link bait here, go Digg it if need the info] but I'm still hooked on to KDE and especially love the KDE 4 series. KDE 4.1.3 was pretty awesome, and I can't wait to try out it out, but the official Sabayon repositories don't have KDE 4.2 yet.
You can install the RC version from Naendo repo, I recommend that you wait for the packages to be available in repos.
Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex Review
I was very curious about Intrepid's release. I just could not wait! I even pre-ordered the CD but downloaded the DVD without patience. I have not-so-fast a connection when it comes to downloading a DVD. In spite of it, I just downloaded. I even allocated HD and swap space for that and was just waiting to install it.
And what horrors!
A Comprehensive List of Ubuntu Hardy Heron (8.04) and Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex (8.10) Repositories
Installing Linux software through repositories is the safe bet. In respect with Ubuntu, there are many software in Intrepid Ibex which I feel is crap. For eg: the "Hardware Drivers" does not have drivers for older kernels. On the other hand, there are many software (like Brasero, Transmission,Totem,VLC etc.) in Hardy that needs update, which the Hardy repositories have not provided till now. To bridge these gaps, I would like to provide you all with the repositories of Hardy and Intrepid.
NOTE: Please think twice before installing software from other Ubuntu version repositories. It may screw up your installation
I have provided the older ones and two updates, just in case for those people who will want to install the older versions of software.
Mounting and Burning .iso, .mdf, .nrg(Nero) files and CD Images in Linux in 1-click
A while ago, I'd written a post on howto mount CD images, such as .iso, .mdf files etc via the command prompt using the mount command. In the post, among the comments, Sumeet had asked if there was a way to do all of this without having to type lengthy commands. Well yes there is! And it can't get simpler than this!

Updating KDE4 to KDE 4.1.3 from the command prompt using zypper
Couple of days ago, while I was updating the KDE4.0.4 install present on my openSUSE, my Internet conked off(as usual), and I was stuck halfway between the KDE4.0.4 -> KDE 4.1.3 update. So I shutdown my system. Later on while powering it on, this semi-update badly damaged by KDE installation with version incompatibilities and DBUS communication failures – resulting that my X server wouldn't come up, with KDE chosen as the DE. With KDE out, I was trying to figure out how to get it updated, without any GUI tools(generally I rely on YaST2) and then I thought why not try out zypper
[How to] Install NewHuman theme From Intrepid Ibex On Hardy Heron
This could be a very useful post for people who search about and want the new Intrepid Ibex and its NewHuman theme. There are many clones of the theme available all over the internet in websites like gnome-look.org. However there is also a way to get the original theme through the repositories.
Let's see how we can go about doing the same.
[How to] Tackling Screen Resolution Problems in Linux
Many of us may feel screen resolution as the biggest pest in any OS. If we don't get the screen resolution we want we get real fed up with the UI (dont we?). Personally, I very much hate if screen resolution gets screwed up and also have faced a lot of problems on that.
So I thought I would make a post on the common problems I faced in ubuntu and I hope it would be useful for other distros too.

[How-To]Installing Adobe AIR and AIR Applications on your Linux System
Recently, Adobe had released the beta version of Adobe Integrated Runtime, more commonly known as AIR, for Linux. While this is indeed good news, unfortunately it isn't available via repositories, meaning you'll have to download the binaries, set the permissions and install it by launching via command prompt. While this seems pretty complicated, its not really.
Let me show you how to go about installing Adobe AIR and AIR applications on your Linux box.
DropBox client now available for Linux!
Dropbox – the awesome online file-storage, and syncing utility finally gets a Linux client! The developers have been promising a Linux client since day one and though it took them a while to get it – it's finally here!
[How-To] Changing The New Kickoff Menu to Traditional Menu
The release KDE4 brought in the new kickoff menu, the slab-style menu which was first introduced in openSUSE 10.2. The premise is simple – instead of unfolding menu after menu, the submenu opens within the menu itself. What makes the Kickoff a killer is the inclusion of search.
While I love Kickoff menu and can't live without it, lot many people prefer the old KDE style menu.
So lets see how to get the old traditional K Menu back – it's simple, no editing of config files required!

[How To] Compile and Install a Program From Sources
In this day modern day, most software installations can be done using repositories and package managers. However, you might face a situation of having only the source files availalble with you – you probably would want to try out bleeding edge software, which hasn't been packaged yet, or isn't available in the repos yet.
So if you really want to try it out, then the only way would be to download the source files and compile them.
Contrary to what most people think – Compiling from sources isn't that complicated – the entire process takes 3 commands.
Creating Your Own YUM Repository
This is a guest post by Kunal Gautam. This article is aimed at RHEL and Fedora users.
If you've been using Linux for a while, then you'd know how much of a pain it is to install a software which runs into dependency problems. One way of getting around this is to use a repository.
What is YUM?
YUM or Yellowdog Updater Modified is an interactive, automated update program which can be used for maintaining system using rpm. Yum is an automatic updater and package installer/remover for rpm systems. It automatically computes dependencies and figures out what things should occur to install packages.
Yum makes it easier to maintain groups of machines without having to manually update each one using rpm.
Presenting openSUSE 11.0
After a long, long wait for SUSE maniacs like me, its finally here: Presenting the latest version of openSUSE, openSUSE 11.0
The new version features a slick shiny new installer, updated KDE 4.0.4, GNOME 2.22, Kernel version 2.6.25. If you're still hesitant to jump to KDE4.0, you can use KDE 3.5.9 which comes with the DVD edition. And if you're on a low-end spec PC, then just install XFCE!
On the applications front, openSUSE 11 features Firefox 3 Beta 5 which gets auto-updated to Firefox 3.0 via online updates. Also featured is Banshee 1.0, which has been re-written to improve performance and includes many new features, like video playback, better "shuffle" playback, support for iPods, MTP devices, and mass storage player devices, and support for podcasts and better Last.fm integration.

Countdown to Ubuntu 8.04: The Hardy Heron
It's that time of the year. Everyone's excited and looking forward to it. Ofcourse it's the release of the next LTS version of Ubuntu, Ubuntu 8.04, aka Hardy Heron. So what're new features expected in Hardy Heron you ask? Well here are some of them
Compiz Fusion Gets New Effect – Presenting the Cylinder
Unless you have been living under a stone, you should be knowing that Compiz Fusion transforms your Linux 2D desktop, with virtual desktops into a 3D one, complete with Cube plugin(amongst others) which transforms the virtual desktops into a cube.
Developer Dennis Kasprzyk has finally finished his idea to implement a cylinder deformation for the cube plugin. The result is that Cubereflex plugin has now been rename to Cubeaddon, and it comes with a new effect, "CYLINDER". Here's a screen shot of the plugin in action
Linux Needs Windows To Run!
Being a Linux user can be really funny. You just go =)) reading few ignorant Windows users' comments on How Linux is crap bla bla bla. Today's source for making me laugh comes by way of Christopher Dawson's article on ZDNet on Why Linux Will Not Displace Windows(a rather nicely written article, though). The best thing about such articles are the comments written by, let's saw, rather "well informed" users.
Let's take a couple of examples.

Installing And Configuring SMART in openSUSE10.3
For the uninitiated, smart is the openSUSE equivalent of apt-get found in Debian based distributions such as Ubuntu.One of the biggest problems people who are used to apt-get face in openSUSE is that apt-get and Synaptic aren't available in openSUSE and then they have no idea as to how to install software on their openSUSE machines. For them, and for many others, smart is the ideal solution. You can isntall software using the smart command prompt("smart install

 Instructions

Announcing openSUSE 10.3
The openSUSE team is proud to announce the release of openSUSE 10.3. Promoting the use of Linux everywhere, the openSUSE project provides free, easy access to the world's most usable Linux distribution, openSUSE. openSUSE is released regularly, is stable, secure, contains the latest free and open source software, and comes with several new technologies.
openSUSE 10.3 will be supported with security and other serious updates for a period of 2 years.
This version contains new beautiful green artwork, KDE 3.5.7 and parts of KDE 4, SUSE-polished GNOME 2.20, a GTK version of YaST, a new 1-click-install technology, MP3 support out-of-the-box, new and redesigned YaST modules, compiz and compiz fusion advances, virtualisation improvements, OpenOffice.org 2.3, Xfce 4.4.1, and much more! Read on for details of what is new and available in openSUSE 10.3, and for all the necessary download links.
On the desktop
There are many visual changes throughout this release, and they are also well-presented in the openSUSE 10.3 Screenshots on the wiki.
Beautiful Green Artwork
This release, as always, will have a full, new collection of artwork, and for openSUSE 10.3 it has gone back to the classical and much-loved green theme. It is all finished off with a polished and professional look:
Sneak Peeks at openSUSE 10.3: A Plethora of Improvements
With this last article the Sneak Peak series comes to an end for this release. But don't worry: it's tightly packed with an extra share of information on the latest openSUSE 10.3 goodies! Today we're going through all those things that either didn't get the chance to have their own article, or are extra convenient small improvements that haven't been properly covered. As you will know, it is all those extra little things that really contribute to a great user experience on the Linux desktop.
Today we'll be taking a look at: the new updater applet; redesigned network card module; OpenOffice 2.3; Xfce; the new Kontact; Giver, an easy file sharing tool; KIWI, a system image generator; and much more! We'll also be getting some closing thoughts from Andreas Jaeger, director of openSUSE, to find out about plans for the future and community contributions.
openSUSE Updater as an Upgrade Tool too
RPM "updates" are specifically defined to refer to RPM patches; for example, as issued in the openSUSE 10.3 Update Repository. RPM package "upgrades" refer to any newer, full RPM package, as you would see in Packman or the openSUSE Build Service.
In openSUSE 10.2, the openSUSE updater acted as just that — simply an updater, providing you with all the official RPM updates. In openSUSE 10.3 however, it provides you with he option of acting like both an updater and an upgrader.
Guru Repository Merging into Packman
Pascal Bleser (yaloki) has long since been one of the most prominent, helpful, and commited openSUSE community developers, providing the whole community with thousands of extra packages in his Guru repository — undoubtedly the second-most-popular 3rd-party repository.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) yesterday posted its first revenue decline in five months, reporting NT$72.28 billion (US$2.31 billion) for last month amid customers' inventory correction.
Sales contracted by 10.48 percent from October's NT$80.74 billion. However, compared with the same period last year, revenue soared 63 percent from NT$44.33 billion.
The contraction was not a surprise, as TSMC co-chief executive Mark Liu (劉德音) had said in October that "cautious inventory adjustment actions taken by some of our customers will bring slower fourth-quarter demand."
The company could still post record revenue for the current quarter, thanks to strong demand for 4G smartphones in China and increased orders for TSMC's advanced 20-nanometer (20nm) chips, Liu said.
TSMC, which supplies processors for Apple Inc's iPhone 6 series, has estimated that revenue for this quarter could grow by between 4 and 5 percent sequentially to between NT$217 billion and NT$220 billion, raising its total revenue this year by 27 percent to a record NT$757.29 billion.
TSMC forecast that revenue for next year would grow by 15 to 20 percent from this year, thanks to strong demand for its 20nm chips, new 16nm FinFET chips and 28nm chips, as well as less-advanced chips from its 8-inch factories.
Barclays Capital Securities Taiwan Ltd is also optimistic that TSMC's growth momentum would carry into next year, adding that the company's current growth forecast is much higher than its previous forecast of 10 percent annual expansion.
Moreover, the Hsinchu-based company might increase its capital spending for next year to more than US$12 billion, compared with an initial estimate of US$10 billion made in October, Barclays Capital analyst Andrew Lu (陸行之) said in a report released yesterday.
This year, TSMC plans to spend US$9.6 billion on new equipment mostly to boost its 20nm capacity.
The brokerage downplayed the impact of TSMC's potential market share loss to rivals in the 16nm FinFET chip market next year and in 2016, and raised its share price target for TSMC to NT$180 from NT$170.
The upgrade has factored in the seasonal weakness next quarter after Apple ends ramp-up of its iPhone 6 series, Lu said.
Barclays' 12-month target price implies 32.35 percent upside from TSMC's closing price of NT$136 yesterday, Taiwan Stock Exchange data showed.
The brokerage also revised upward its earnings forecast for TSMC by 10 percent for next year and 11 percent for 2016, citing stronger revenue and margins.

Our final day started with a walk to Cora's, a Toronto staple. Their breakfasts are a little large, but very tasty. We left Karl and Tony behind to pick up the check when we left for the Scotiabank Theatre. Screening number 33 was "Maya". This filmed turned out to be about a relationship between a selfish man and a teenage girl. The scenery in India was stunning. You might check out streaming sites if this interests you.
Our Rating for Maya
Maya Q & A at TIFF 2018
Michael left us to meet up with Karl and Tony. They were going to the Hockey Hall Of Fame before Michael returned to Dallas. We walked over to the TIFF Members Box Office to see about tickets to the Grolsch Peoples Choice Award screening. We ended up working and waiting with some volunteers to find out the winning film. We walked to Earl's to eat and post the blog. Yodit, a very nice volunteer, texted me that she had two tickets. I walked back to the MBO, but by that time they had announced the winner, "Green Book", which we had already seen. Finished our meal and off to the Elgin Theater.
American Woman
"American Woman" is a very well done female driven movie. It depicts how tragedy and adversity can change the trajectory of a life. Sienna Miller, Christina Hendricks and Amy Madigan gave memorable performances. I also thought that Aaron Paul and Alex Neustaedter had outstanding scenes. Currently, this movie does not have a release date but we will keep you posted.
Our Rating for American Woman
American Woman Q & A at TIFF 2018
The Other Story
Stopping off at Grace O'Malley's one last time seemed like a great idea. The bartender was very entertaining. Running a little late, we made our final trek to the Scotiabank Theatre to see "The Other Story". We really enjoy Jewish films, and we were not disappointed. This is a sensitive story about how your upbringing effects the choices you make as adults. Also, how adults can make poor decisions in the name of their child's best interest. It was a very good movie to end the festival. This movie also doesn't have a release date, we will be looking for it.
Our Rating for The Other Story
We walked back to our apartment and Karl drove the four of us to the iconic Lakeview Restaurant, seen in 'The Shape of Water". Our waitress was very effervescent. After the tuna melt and B.E.S.T. we had to try the Key Lime Pie. Not the intense green of the movie but very tangy.
There were many movies that caught our eye but we couldn't fit into our schedule. We will keep you apprised of their progress also.

Crufts 2009
Well sorry about the delay! It is surprisingly busy here with two puppies to train and socialize.Plus the weather has been so absolutely gorgeous that I have not been on the computer much. I have no video and very few photos so I "stole" these videos from You tube! :-)
What can I say about Crufts. It was difficult for me this year. I was not sure I really wanted to go yet I really wanted to go. Understand? Friday was the worst for me. Walking into the building was hard because the last time I was there was with Hex by my side. I thought I would be OK but then I saw Indy (Hex's brother) and just lost it.
At one point during the day I was sitting alone with Zen and looked across the aisle at another dog in it's crate. My heart just stopped for a second when I saw Hex's face on a bag of treats on top of the crate. Her photo is on a bag of Burn's Dog treats and one of those bags was sitting on top of this dog's crate.
Zen was a good girl both days. We had our issues with some contacts but that was because I was pushing her for speed. I knew with the border collies that were competing that we had no chance of a place without really going for it. The courses were nice but not difficult enough to cause too many mistakes. Zen was manic both days; she just was out of her mind excited. I guess having Crufts as her first show back in 6 months was a little ambitious!
On Friday during the Crufts Singles I was so proud of her 1st run which put her into 2nd place between (yes of course) two BLUE MERLE BORDER COLLIES. haha Her second run was lovely except for the missed Aframe (darn judge with good eyes!) which put her into 3rd behind (yes again) two BLUE MERLE BORDER COLLIES. Do you sense a trend?
On Sunday in the Champs her jumping qualifying run was fantastic! She came in 2nd place after (yes repeat after me) a BLUE MERLE BORDER COLLIE. I knew for the Champ Agility qualifier I just needed to NOT get eliminated. She ran well but a dropped bar and a dodgy see-saw made me worried. I knew we still made it into the finals in the evening which was great.
The evening finals is always exciting. This one was bittersweet for me and I just felt I had to hold it together for Zen. I was so worried about her because they did not allow our grooms into the holding arena. This made it difficult to watch and have your dog ready to run as they run a tight schedule. I do not understand why this year they did not allow the grooms into the holding arena as that is the point of having a groom! They blamed the extra security as there was alot of talk of protesters due to the KC expose that was run by the BBC this year. So you can imagine that I did not want to let Zen out of my sight for one second.
I cannot even remember the finals course! I am sure somewhere it is on a video but I cannot find one right now. Probably just as well as I remember it as perfect and would rather just remember it like that! I was so proud of Zen; she looks so small next to the jumps especially since she lost all her coat after the pups.
I think we put in the best run we could have done. Zen was lying in 1st place up until the last dog ran. I knew that if Toni and Minx went clear that there was no way we could beat their time.
Zen ended up in 2nd and came home with the Crufts Reserve Championship Ticket. And I went home with the best dog at Crufts.
Here are some videos of the Singles runs and the Champ runs during both days. I included the Small Singles just so show how well Indy did this year at Crufts. Nicky and Indy won not only the Small Crufts Singles, Small International Final but also the Small Agility Championships. What a great partnership they are.

Well done u and Zen :) maybe you need to colour Zen's coat so she looks more like a BLUE MERLE!! lol
Thanks for the videos as my computer was playing up and i missed alot of the agility runs...
- Ricky the Sheltie said...
We remember your finals run and it was fantastic! Congratulations again!
- Dawn said...
Thanks for sharing the videos! Congratulations to you and the new mother! She did terrific!
- Hudsondoglets said...
Great partnership to be able to come back from a long lay off and perform like that!
Well done to you and Zen.
Hello !
Unbelievable the impression you give as if it was very easy to run that parcours. I really adore the harmony you and Zen show in your runs.
regards !
- Vonnie said...
I was on the edge of my seat, could you not hear me shouting you on! You both did brilliantly. I know how much your heart would ache, thoughts of Hex flooding back. I'm sure she was there watching over you and Zen getting round the courses! Indy was fantastic too, well done!

We have here in Pocklington a vibrant town with a large influx of residents coming to live in Pocklington from outside the area.
While interacting with these new residents it starkly comes across that in every case they find Pocklington a lovely place to live, and when you actually sit down and look at what we have here you understand why they are coming to our town.
There are volunteers trying to give Pocklington that something more to improve our lifestyles and yes it comes from personal interest in the activity, eg. beer fans = beer festival, music lovers = Platform Festival, Flying Man Festival, walkers/cyclists various routes, Pilgrimage of Grace activities, U3A activities – and the list goes on.
Ten years ago all we had was the Rugby Sevens and late night shopping now we have Summer Fetes, firework nights, walking festivals, the Arts Centre brings in big names into town.
All this and more has to be celebrated, but – and there is a but – in many cases it is the same faces that achieve all this with little or no thanks.
In fact the opposite can be the norm with criticism if people have to pay or it's not exactly what they want. Ask them to get involved and it all goes quiet.
So from me a big thank you. For without the commitment each one gives then we would not have the diverse events in the town.
Therefore, rather than complain and run things down get involved, whether you're new to the town or long-term resident, shopkeepers need to embrace positive actions that help the town thrive then your shops will thrive alongside. What we need is more members of public/business to embrace something that excites them and get involved.
It would be nice to see the chamber of trade resurrected in some guise so that the businesses and shopkeepers of the town/industrial estate have an input into what happens in town. They can support as well as influence the mechanisms that make it all work.
So to all new and old Pocklingtonians get off your backsides and get involved in your town! If you contact Pocklington Town Council I am sure we can give you the information that points you to your personal interest.
Coun Martin Cooper, Pocklington

Introducing In the Realm of Death and Dreaming,
our 2019 Death Documentary
Since its origin, humanity has posed the question, 'what really happens when you die?' The presumed answers have defined culture, religion and community as we know them. Through a combination of near-death experiences, personal stories and scientific research, this death documentary explores whether consciousness survives death, and why it matters when choosing end of life care.
Your contribution to our campaign will enable us to keep interviewing select scientists, medical experts, death pioneers, and others with important stories to tell.
The When You Die project explores what's happening in our minds and bodies at end of life and beyond.
It's time to reclaim the dying process as a profound part of our lives.
While we celebrate birth, we have made a cultural habit of pushing death away. 80% of us say we want to die at home, and yet 60% of us die in a hospital. Of those, 40% die in Intensive Care. As long as we treat death as a disease to be cured the cost to us will be dear: lost time with loved ones, prolonged suffering at the hands of medical institutions designed to cure death (rather than support the journey), and enormous funds spent on end-of-life care.
In the When You Die Death Documentary, we find that birth and death are profound passages to be honoured and protected. Both are messy and painful—but in these moments, we find our humanity is more extraordinary than we could have ever imagined.

This is an awesome "sword" that a love very much! This was my 1st purchase from BUDK and it won't be my last! Thanks BUDK!
THis is a nice long blade, double edged, very sharp, very thin. Not enough weight to be considered a machete. If you were to use this on a large branch or sage brush it would undoubtedly role the edge and ruin it. Now, as a quick slicing/slashing short sword it is excellent. Just don't use it where the edge will take a hit. THin blade, very flexible, but not made for heavy hits. Tall Grass, ok. Bushes and branches, no. But still a nice blade, I have the Commander series of knives, boot knife, tanto and this one, nice set of lightweight blades, the boot knife is tough though, it actually matches my smith and wesson boot knife pretty close.
i really like this machete. it came nice and sharp. i love the double edged design. great blade. light enough to use for long periods without wearing out your arm. highly recommend this product.
Very impressive blade, thin, I wouldn't use it for cutting much more than tiny branches or tall grass. Not a machete in my opinion, but would split a watermelon easy enough. If you are looking for a game trail branch cutter look at the heavier blades. This is light weight, very sharp, but flexes and would bend if you were to thrust into something. Sure it would scare anyone looking to mess with you just for sheer look of the blade. I like the nylon sheath but the serrated edge towards the hilt snags on it and I can see that it would shred the nylon in short order.
When I saw this blade, I just had to have it. I had been trying to imagine an ideal combination machete sword tool for a while, and this hits the spot. I took it on our annual 3 day canoe camping trip last Thanksgiving day weekend. It performed well and you know you have a self defense weapon on hand if you would need one against wild hog, snakes, wild dogs, rapid coons, etc. The length is just right for use as a machete, and still long enough to be a stand off weapon. It takes and holds a good edge, and it just looks bad a**! Get one, it will make you want to go play!
Very sturdy blade for the price. One again UC has delivered everything they promised. The handle is very durable and while the blade itself is a bit bowed, this is to expected with any stamped blade. Overall a great buy for a great price.
It is a cool short sword, but as a machete it is not as good as a standard style machete, but it is adequate to clear the brush and get the job done. This blade will definitely come along on my next camping adventure as my machete, and I have many to choose from. I like the idea of having a handy weapon in my hand as I bushwhack a trail through the jungle bush.
This is my favorite sword that I have bought. It is a decent machete, but I would not suggest any heavy work for it. It is light and durable. Works great as a short sword. A great buy.
Slim and sharp. Slash and jab. Limb for limb. Light and strong. Easy to carry along. Fits under the seat. Hard tpo beat!
The only use for this is lightweight brush work. Slicing kudzu, vines and briars. It will not handle choping anything heavier. Short sword? Not a chance. The blade is way too thin and would buckle under a heavy thrust. 4mm blade and this would have been nice. For the money go with the cold steel thai machete.

Giant 'corpse flower' blooms in Germany – Yahoo! News: "BERLIN (Reuters) – The world's tallest — and smelliest — flower has bloomed, reaching a height of 2.94 meters, 18 centimeters more than the previous record for the species, the Stuttgart botanical garden said on Friday.
The Titan Arum, or Amorphophallus Titanum, nicknamed "corpse flower" because of its putrid stench, blooms rarely and briefly."
I rarely run across science news items that spark ideas for the Zook Terpin series, but this sure qualifies.

A lot of vendors are announcing "cloud washed" solutions that is just adding to the hype in this nascent technology. It also adds to customer cynicism on what really makes is a cloud solution? I see an increasing number of ISV's say we have a cloud-enabled solution. Sometimes it is just press release that they have "announced" a cloud solution in partnership with a hosting provider. Under the covers, this press release is just the capability to host their application in the data center of the hosting company. This is the kind of solution that customers have been doing for years and is fueling the skepticism of cloud computing among customers.
There are a number of characteristics that make up a cloud solution that you can get from the NIST site. However, when your providers hype up agility, flexibility, security and other cloud computing benefits, ask them one question: what is your multi-tenancy capability? Multi tenancy can vary from the single instance/single tenant model to multiple tenants sharing storage, application and servers.
Business agility and cost savings can truly be gained from multi-tenancy. It is not easy to re-write applications to be multi-tenant capable. Cloud washing existing applications is not helping customers understand the value of cloud computing. Read between the lines when you are pitched a solution and it should cause your "hype-meter" to start frantically beeping if they are not multi-tenant capable!

Last week I attended the official launch of the Kardashian Beauty Hair Collection and its been the event I've been most excited about! The Kardashian's are many things but one thing you can't argue is that their style is so on point that if they created a new beauty trend, people are sure to follow suit. Remember when Khloe rocked that ombre trend and suddenly everyone was walking around with ombre hair-do's? (Including me!)
The event went off without a hitch and was held at Marios Company For Hair. And this is Mario (ladies calm down now) *rushes off to book hair appointment*
Of course Cruz Vodka made the night extra special with the most delicious cosmo's! Bottlegreen and San Pellegrino were also served throughout the evening and the most interesting canape's from Escoffier Catering.
We were treated with a lovely demonstration on how to get Kim's sleek and polished look, Khloe's loose waves and Kourtney's voluminous curls and all the products and tools that were used were from the Kardashian hair range. Take a look at what you'll find with the Kardashian Beauty Hair Collection:
All of the products can be purchased on GlamIt's website www.glamit.co.za. If you're in Cape Town you can also pick them up at Marios Company For Hair.
Well done to Eclipse PR and The Little Black Book for hosting an incredible launch – you ladies sure outdid yourselves! 🙂

Tughlaqabad fort
A ruined fort Located nearby Tughlaqabad industrial area and Asola Wildlife sanctuary, covers area more than 6 km. This monument speaks about the Tughlaqabad Fort of the city Tughlaqabad and the Delhi Sultanate period. Situated just opposite to the main gate of the fort a very simple structure which is the tomb of Ghiyasuddin which was built in 1325 as a warrior's tomb. Fort was built with red sandstone and marble and having high walls 12-17 metres high. There are two graves one belongs to his wife Makh Dumai Jaan and other might be of his son. A small grave is also there which could be Sultan's dearest dog at the entrance of the corridor. One can see beautiful latticework with white marble, impressive ceilings and screens carved with crossed strips. There are a number of monuments within the fort area.
Fort was built by Ghiyas-ud-din Tughlaq, the founder of Tughlaq dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate in 1321. The city of Tughluqabad was also founded by him. The Tughlaqs were great builders and Tughlaqabad Fort is one of their major architectural examples. This fort is the only Tughlaq monument in which red sandstone and marble is used. Motive behind the construction was the protection form Mughal attackers. The fort connected with the road which today known as the GT Road. The city is used to have 52 gates of which only 13 remain today. The city Tughlaqabad housed seven rainwater tanks. Once this fort was a symbol of the Tughlaq dynasty however, today is in extreme ruins.

Yeah, he sent an email defending Sandusky's protector Paterno. Call me crazy but defending the defender's of pedophiles is just a little more than inappropriate.
An authentic Christian can no more tolerate pedophilia than he or she can tolerate murder or adultery. And defenders of pedophiles are enablers of pedophiles and participants in their wicked perversion. It doesn't matter if they're football coaches or locker room attendants or beer salesmen or Doctors in South Korea.

Ein zu einem lebenden Standbild geformter Körper. In einer Welt der Stille erscheinen wir; die Stille brechend, die Ruhe vergessend und zu ihr zurückkehrend – selbstverständlich. Wir werden Natur, werden zu einem atmenden Objekt, abstrakt, tierhaft. Uns vom Selbst lösend, sind wir ursprünglicher, universaler Körper, erfüllt - mit Sehnsucht und mit der Erlaubnis, den Moment als das Leben selbst von Neuem zu erfahren.

She Stone Sea, let us play; I am a wave and you are floating, I am a severed stem and you are dreaming, I am a jungle animal and you are in love, you are a footprint in the sand, I am a warrior, you are a tree-root and I run away, you are nature, I am the memory.
A body sculptured, as a living still-image. In a world of stillness we emerge; breaking a silence, forgetting the stillness, returning to it - naturally. We become nature, a breathing object, an abstract, an animal. Cutting loose from the self we are a primal, universal body, fulfilled with longing and permission; to experience the moment, as life itself, anew.

Sequential dimerization of human zipcode-binding protein IMP1 on RNA: a cooperative mechanism providing RNP stability
- Authors:
- 10.1093/nar/gkh754
- Abstract:
- Active cytoplasmic RNA localization depends on the attachment of RNA-binding proteins that dictate the destination of the RNA molecule. In this study, we used an electrophoretic mobility-shift assay in combination with equilibrium and kinetic analyses to characterize the assembly of the human zipcode-binding protein IMP1 on targets in the 3'-UTR from Igf-II mRNA and in H19 RNA. In both cases, two molecules of IMP1 bound to RNA by a sequential, cooperative mechanism, characterized by an initial fast step, followed by a slow second step. The first step created an obligatory assembly intermediate of low stability, whereas the second step was the discriminatory event that converted a putative RNA target into a 'locked' stable RNP. The ability to dimerize was also observed between members of the IMP family of zipcode-binding proteins, providing a multitude of further interaction possibilities within RNP granules and with the localization apparatus.

Variables in C++
An integer variable declaration in C++ starts with the keyword int followed by the name of a variable and a semicolon, as in the following example:
int n1; // declare a variable n1
All variables in C++ must be declared before they can be used. A variable declaration reserves a small amount of space in memory, just enough for a single integer (in this case), and assigns it a name. You can declare more than one variable in the same declaration, as in the following example, but it's not a good idea:
int n2, n3; // declare two variables n2 and n3
A keyword is a word that has meaning to C++. You cannot give a variable a name that's the same as a keyword. Thus, for example, you can't create a variable with the name int. However, keywords are case-sensitive, so you could create a variable Int or INT.
The fact that the keyword int is used instead of integer is just a reflection of the overall terseness of the C++ language. Makes you wonder whether the creators of the language were poor typists and wanted to minimize the amount of typing they had to do.
If you exceed the range of an int, you'll get the wrong answer. Unlike in algebra class, the range of an integer is not unlimited in C++. However, it is very large indeed.
Variable names
You can name a variable anything you like — with the following restrictions:
The first letter of the variable must be a character in the sequence a through z, A through Z, or underscore (_).
Every letter after the first must be a character in the sequence a through z, A through Z, underscore (_), or the digits 0 through 9.
A variable name can be of any length. All characters are significant.
The following are legal variable names:
int myVariable; int MyVariable; int myNumber2Variable; int _myVariable; int my_Variable;
The following are not legal variable names:
int myPercentage%; // contains illegal character int 2ndVariable; // starts with a digit int my Variable; // contains a space
Variable names should be descriptive. Variable names such as x are discouraged.
Assigning a value to a variable
Every variable has a value from the moment it's declared. However, until you assign it a value, a variable will just assume whatever garbage value happens to be in that memory location when it's allocated. So, if you don't assign a value, you don't know what value is lurking in that variable — and it's likely to change every time you run the program.
You can assign a variable a value by using the equals sign, as in the following example:
int n; // declare a variable n n = 1; // set it to 1
This looks remarkably similar to the assignment statement in algebra class, but the effect is not quite the same. In C++, the assignment statement says, "Take the value on the right-hand side of the equals sign (in this case, 1) and store it in the location on the left-hand side, overwriting whatever was there before (in this case, n)."
You can see the difference in the following expression:
n = n + 1; // increment the variable n
This statement would make absolutely no sense in algebra class. How could n be both equal to n and n + 1 at the same time? However, this statement makes perfect sense in C++ if you follow the definition for assignment just given: "Take the value stored in the variable n (1) ,add 1, and store the result (2) in the variable n." This is shown graphically here.
Initializing a variable at declaration
You can initialize your variable at the time it's declared by following it with an equals sign and a value:
int n = 1; // declare and initialize variable
This statement initializes only the one variable, so if you write the following compound declaration
int n1, n2 = 0;
you've initialized n2 but not n1. This is one reason it's not a good idea to declare multiple variables in a single declaration.

KIEV, April 26 /ITAR-TASS/. Ukraine's national television company NTU has refused to allow the presidential candidate from the Party of Regions, Oleg Tsarev, to take part in debates on the UT-1 channel in a teleconference mode, local mass media said.
Earlier, Tsarev addressed the NTU with a corresponding request only to get a reply from the channel's management the NTU was unprepared to provide the service.
"I am the sole presidential candidate who has been stripped of the right to use government-provided bodyguards. I agreed to participate in the TV debates via a video channel. In response I was told that the national television company is unable to arrange for this. Too bad. It would be a good chance to explain the way the people in the country's southeast feel to the authorities and to the whole of Ukraine," the politician said.
On April 14, Tsarev was brutally beaten up in Kiev after a live show on the ICTV channel. The presidential candidate was attacked by an aggressive crowd, which had blocked the building of the TV studio.
Ukraine's presidential election is due on May 25.

This analysis will be released on Friday, April 23, 2010 at the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) 19th Annual Meeting & Clinical Congress in Boston.
To date, no large-scale comparison has been made between BMI and DEXA, a direct measure of percentage body fat. A team of physicians and scientists from PATH Foundation NY reviewed the medical records of 1,234 patients from 2003 to 2009 to obtain BMI (from height and weight) and percentage body fat (from Hologic DEXA). Subjects were classified as obese or non-obese based on the American Bariatric Society's classification of obesity, which is a BMI of 30 or higher or a percent body fat of 25 or higher in males and percent body fat of 30 or higher in females.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) traditionally consider an adult with a BMI between 25 and 29.9 as overweight while an adult with a BMI of 30 or higher is considered obese.
"Extrapolating our data on a global scale, it is very likely that obesity is a much bigger epidemic than the 300 million people acknowledged by the World Health Organization (WHO)," Eric Braverman, MD, a primary author of the study said.
Also at the AACE 19th Annual Meeting & Clinical Congress, experts will talk about pediatric transgender issues, appropriate glycemic targets from recent trials and their translation into patient care, as well as the role of continuous glucose monitors in 2010.
Additional news from the AACE 19th Annual Meeting & Clinical Congress can be found at media.aace.com or by following the meeting live at the Twitter hashtag #AACE10.

Sorry this is going to be a short post. Beth is standing beside me putting together the Welcome Packages for Camp. She thinks that I am working on Camp.
It was a quick trip to Toronto this morning. I have the first of our Knitter's Pride needles. They look great. I am going to price them while watching Hell's Kitchen.
Yorkdale is near my suppliers so I had to stop. Had to-didn't want to. Crate and Barrel had some interesting things but I didn't have a lot of time for looking. Then I stopped in a new to me shoe store. Ron White. Mr. White-you have very nice shoes. These came home with me.

Love love love John Lloyd Cruz as always. He has proven once again that he can really act given any role. He is indeed one of the best we've got in this generation. As for Luis Manzano, this may be his first major drama role but I gotta give it to him. He did his part excellently. Vilma Santos is seamless as always. It's been years since she last did a movie. Seeing her on the big screen again is refreshing. She didn't look like she aged one bit, but her many years of experience in front of the camera is very evident. She scored another perfect ten here in In My Life.
I'm sure many in the audience only wanted to see that much publicized lip-locking between the two gentlemen. This early I can tell you that it is overrated. This is because as you sit inside the theater to immerse yourself in the story, you will find soon enough that that scene is really just a strand of hair that hardly matters when you are left admiring the masterpiece that director Olivia Lamasan put together.
Story-wise, In My Life is kept very simple and straightforward. It had the usual mix of drama interspersed with comedy. We, Filipinos, love to poke fun at those who could not speak straight English or find it hard to converse in English in a foreign land. The movie leaned on this to give viewers a good laugh. Vilma Santos provided comic relief as she struggled with her words to get by in New York. She also epitomizes those Filipinos who were brought to America out of unforeseen circumstances. One day you are content in your comfort zone here in the Philippines, and then the next minute you are thrown in unfamiliar grounds and forced to survive in the land of milk and honey.
There were no scenes or dialogues that stayed with me as I left the theater, yet In My Life is worth watching. Its story is close to our hearts because I'm sure many of us have friends or relatives working in America. In My Life is more than about homosexuals. It more importantly mirrored the struggles of Filipino families and their quest for greener pastures outside of the country.

A photo of a Pleasant Hill Staples employee donning what appeared to be blackface went viral this weekend, prompting customers and online commenters to demand an apology from the office supply store.
Harold Leffall of Benicia snapped the picture of the employee. In the photo, the store worker can be seen wearing a hairnet and hair curlers, her face completely obscured by what appears to be black paint as part of a Halloween costume.
"I went to ask her where the cash registers were, and she turns around, and she was in blackface," Leffall said. "Honestly, I was shocked. I thought I was being pranked. I didn't know what was going on."
Blackface gained popularity in the 1800s. White performers would paint their faces in burnt cork and act out racist stereotypes for white audiences, a practice that played a significant role in proliferating racist images and attitudes.
Another customer, Geneen Bland, confronted the woman and captured a video of the exchange. The store employee can be heard saying she is dressed as a "Napa Valley spa guest" or a "beauty shop customer," and that the blackface is a charcoal face mask, a beauty product that went viral earlier this year.
When told the costume could be construed as blackface, the store employee told Bland "I apologize if you feel that way."
"Oh no no no, that's not me," the worker says in the video, explaining that she prefers the charcoal mask to the green ones because it "doesn't flake" on her clothing.
Both Leffall and Bland spoke to managers and requested that the employee take off the mask, but both said they were initially rebuffed. Their complaints weren't taken seriously, it seemed to them. They were also told that the costume was actually "a sharpie costume," meant to represent one of the store's products.
Staples made the same claim about the costume in a statement.
"A representative from HP who was in one of our stores wore a costume for Halloween that they intended to have represent an office product, but didn't realize it could be considered offensive to some of our customers," the store said. "While it was unintentional, it was still inappropriate and once this was raised to the representative, they immediately removed the costume."
The store released a follow-up statement expressing its "commitment to inclusion and diversity" as the incident gained traction on social media.
"Staples again apologizes to those customers in the store and anyone who viewed the images online," the store said.
Marketsource, which represents HP, said the employee has been suspended.
But Leffall, who filed a complaint with the store and has yet to receive a response, isn't convinced. He has also received backlash since posting the photo, receiving hateful messages calling him "oversensitive" and a "crybaby."
"It didn't look like a sharpie costume, it didn't look like a salon customer," Leffall said. "It looked like blackface."
Bland said the "indifferent" attitudes of store employees made the situation worse. She doesn't understand why the staff didn't immediately apologize and attempt to correct the situation.
"I think that if someone did something that was culturally insensitive, I would think that they would acknowledge it and apologize," Bland said of her frustration with store employees. "If you really were sincere, and you didn't want to hurt anyone, you would try to correct it. That's all I was trying to get them to do."
Leffall, who said he will not be shopping at Staples anymore, added that he doesn't hold the employee solely responsible. He believes managers and supervisors should have stepped in and prevented her from wearing the "costume" at work.
"I want to see the company have a clear policy around Halloween costumes," he said. "I'd also like them to have some sort of awareness program about what's acceptable and what's not acceptable because maybe some people don't know."
Bland would like to see a similar program but believes the staffers in Pleasant Hill had ample opportunities to correct the mistake. She would like to see both the manager of the store and the employee disciplined or possibly terminated.
"I want this to send a message that you can't get away with this anymore," she said. "When you're in a work setting, that is not acceptable."
