John 6:56-59
…whoever eats me will live because of me (John 6:57).
If you remember my previous homilies on John 6, you may also remember that in those occasions I have tried to highlight how Jesus disputed first with the crowd whom he had fed on the mountain-side, and then with a group of "Jews" whilst teaching at the synagogue.
Today, as we come to the end of John 6 after five weeks of exploring this chapter, we find Jesus still teaching in the synagogue and ready to engage another group of people in the debate about the Bread of Life; this group are his own disciples. It seems that John's Jesus is really not afraid to question people's beliefs, and to do something typically un-Anglican, that is to open windows on people's souls, whoever they might be.
From the pattern of John' story it transpires that Jesus moves his debate about the Bread of Life in concentric circles; initially he approaches the wider crowd who looked for him, then the approaches those who considered themselves already committed to faith, and lastly he addresses his own disciples. John's construction of this three-fold debate is aimed at provoking a scandalised reaction first, in the wider community that looks for Jesus, which today we may interpret as the world; secondly, among those either already engaged in religion or who may oppose the message of the gospel; thirdly, this debate is aimed at provoking a reaction within the Christian community, that is among us all.
However, let us not lose heart. As I mentioned in the past weeks, although Jesus challenges individuals and groups with his debate on the Bread of Life, he does not turn anyone away. It is those who are not willing to make an effort to understand his words, and those who turn away from the Father's grace that simply stop following or questioning Jesus.

It is those who are not willing to make an effort to understand his words, and those who turn away from the Father's grace that simply stop following or questioning Jesus.
If John 6 does not provoke a reaction like the ones of the crowd, of the Jews or of the first disciples it is probably because we struggle to grasp these words in their particular context. It is probably also means that we are very much still in need of the Father's grace to draw us into an ever deeper faith.
Do any of you remember the words of John the Baptist as he points to Jesus in John 1?
Do any of you remember the words of John the Baptist as he points to Jesus in John 1?
Here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! (John 1:29).
These words characterise Jesus' ministry throughout John's gospel. However, when the are spoken by the priest in the context of the Eucharist they become the teaching too difficult for some disciples to accept; they echo Jesus' promise of giving his own very self as the sacrificial victim for the life of creation, and they make a connection between the words of today's gospel, the liturgy of the Jerusalem Temple, and the Eucharistic meal that we share.
In Temple customs any concept of human sacrifices was rightly branded as an abomination and associated with paganism. Animals and other things were sacrificed instead. In particular, the Passover Lamb was sacrificed once a year as a solemn offering for sins. Oftentimes, the flesh of the animals was burnt on the altar of bronze or eaten by the priests. However, the blood of the victims was sacred to God and no-one was permitted to consume it because it represented the life of the being. It was offered either by pouring it out over the altar or used for ritual sprinkling. Indeed in the case of the Passover lamb the blood was sprinkled on the Mercy Seat of the Ark of the Covenant within the innermost part of the Temple.
And yet, here we have Jesus, the new Passover lamb, saying to his disciples and consequently to John's community and to us all, that we must eat his flesh and drink his blood.
Indeed, when in our story Jesus uses the words whoever eats me (John 6:57) he makes a specific choice of words aimed at dispelling any possible allegoric or metaphoric interpretation. More literally He affirms that whoever munches on his flesh, and whoever crunches his body with his teeth will live because of Him. Similarly, as we have heard already in the past three weeks, Jesus invites people to actually drink His own blood offered for the world, like the blood of the Passover lamb, once sprinkled on the Mercy Seat of the Ark of the Covenant.
Of course, in today's story Jesus is not expecting his disciples to attack Him with their teeth there and then. Rather, he instructs them about the boundless gift He will bestow on them in giving his own self in the Eucharist as the true Bread of Life and as the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. Under signs of separation, like at the Jerusalem Temple where the flesh of the Passover lamb was separated from its blood, here we receive the Lamb of the new Passover sacrifice, Jesus Christ himself. It is little wonder that the disciples, like many Christians throughout the centuries, found this teaching very difficult.
Does this offend you? …Do you also wish to go away? (John 6:61; 67)
Jesus is here to debate with us, and to encourage us to believe. He is not here to turn anyone away. Moreover, in today's passage, St Peter is able to answer to Jesus with words that should sum up the Church's eagerness to believe Jesus' teaching even when we find them difficult. Lord, to whom can we go? You have the words of eternal life (John 6:68). In these words we find enough strength to affirm our initial commitment to Christ as we wait for the Father's grace to draw us into an ever deeper faith in Jesus.

There are aliens among us. No, I'm not talking about the fake Hollywood aliens like the ones soon to be on movie screens worldwide this Friday when J.J. Abrams' Star Trek is released. I'm talking about honest to goodness alien beings hiding out among us human folk here on this island Earth!
You think I'm joking — and I am. Kinda. Here's the skinny: About a month ago or so, hardcore Trek fans hungry for any scrap of info about Abrams' much-buzzed-about reboot stumbled across a website called thecobrasnake.com, which apparently has been throwing "Star Trek Dance Parties" (seriously) across the world to get people pumped for the flick. They began noticing something peculiar in the posted photos that were taken at these parties — something like binary code, penciled on the walls. These codes turned out to be website addresses, which have in turn served as the starting line for a global alternate reality game (ARG) that has taken on a bizarre life of its own.
Now, reporting on puzzle-driven ARG entertainments is mucho tricky, because the process of discovering and problem solving is a big part of the fun. So let me say this much: The plot concerns a group of Trek-esque aliens (Romulans?) scattered across the globe who are trying to do…something. Perhaps this something is nefarious; perhaps this something is heroic. You have to figure out which — and then figure out how to participate in the story. For those who are intrigued to play and then catch up, I suggest beginning here, which provides a summary of the first stages of the game. Then, move here, where you'll learn more about the central figures in the storyline.
The genius, capture-the-imagination part of this ARG has been theway the game has found ways to bleed into real life. Fans in Berlin,for example, followed the clues to find the hideout of one of the aliens,complete with half-eaten pudding and green blood. Meanwhile,industrious fans in the United Kingdom cracked clues and discovered a crash site in the countryside. There are other aspects to the ARG, too, including videos, and I hear there could be a television component, too.
In my opinion: way cool. It's certainly more fun than your usual moviepromotion. Presumably, the ARG ends this Friday with the release of thefilm. Check back here in the coming week for more info. In the meantime, if you have tips about the game to passalong, feel free to post below — or send to me at email@example.com.

Pomodoro San Marzano DOP
The tomato, originally from Central America, arrived in Europe during the 16th century. At the time, the plant had primarily an ornamental value. It slowly spread across Europe thanks to the Bourbon Courts that were close with the Spanish royal family. According to a couple of sources, tomatoes were not considered food until the 18th century. Tomatoes arrived in the Kingdom of Naples around 1770 and the plant thrived in the fertile soil of near San Marzano. The tomato we know today is the result of a series of selection processes. Tomatoes only really began to be considered an important ingredient at the beginning of the 20th century with the development of the pasta industry in nearby Gragnano and Torre Annunziata and the birth of the first companies dedicated to conserving food were founded in Piedmont by Francesco Cirio.
The area of production of San Marzano tomatoes is located in the Campania region and more specifically in communes in the provinces of Naples, Salerno and Avellino. Tomatoes can only be grown in areas with good irrigation. Hilly areas are not suitable either. The soil in these areas contains volcanic material and organic elements like phosphorous and potassium. There is a good amount of ground water and the climate is moderated by the sea breezes, and there are never extreme weather conditions. It is humid and rainy for at least three seasons out of the year, and in the summer the humidity remains high even despite the rain.
The San Marzano tomato variety is grown primarily in this area and the tomatoes are often known as "pelato", or peeled, thanks to the tomato canning industry started by Cirio.
The cultivation guidelines require that the tomatoes be grown vertically in rows. Pruning and clipping is allowed bur forcing is not. The tomatoes are picked by hand over the course of a couple of days once they are ripe.
This variety is known for its long shape, red color, thin and easily peelable skin, solid pulp, few seed and bittersweet flavor. San Marzano is considered the king of tomatoes according to many of its distinctive characteristics. The tomatoes are ideal for industrial processing because they do not break or suffer damage during processing. They are the best type of tomato for preserving in jars or boxes to be used in sauces and on pizza. They can also be used in all of the usual ways; raw, in dishes like bruschetta, in pastas and salads.

Investing in emerging markets usually means having to accept higher risks and uncertainties than in developed countries. However, some emerging-market companies can provide exceptional long-term growth opportunities for your portfolio. MercadoLibre (NASDAQ:MELI), Melco Crown (NASDAQ:MLCO), and Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU) are strongly positioned for growth for years to come.
Investing in a free market
MercadoLibre means "free market" in Spanish, but the company is better known among investors as "the eBay of Latin America." There are valid reasons for this -- with nearly 18% ownership, eBay is a major shareholder in MercadoLibre, and both companies have similar business models.
In addition to being the leading e-commerce platform in Latin America, MercadoPago does for MercadoLibre what PayPal does for eBay: It is a payment method that has been expanding beyond the platform and growing as a stand-alone business on its own merits. Just like eBay, MercadoLibre has been growing into other areas, like advertising, classifieds, and technological solutions for its clients.
The company has produced outstanding growth for investors over the years; sales have increased at 34.4% annually through the last five years, while earnings have grown at an even faster 59.9% per year through that period. MercadoLibre continued performing strongly last quarter: Revenues in local currencies grew by 45%, and sales in U.S. dollars increased by 27% during the third quarter of 2013.
On the other hand, economic risks could present serious headwinds for MercadoLibre in the medium term, especially when it comes to Argentina and Venezuela, which represent 27% and 19% of revenue, respectively. Both countries are going through serious economic uncertainties, including capital control regimens, currency devaluations and rampant inflation. This could have a material negative impact on the company's financial figures when translated to U.S. dollars.
This casino is no gamble
Melco Crown is one of only six companies granted concessions or sub-concessions to operate casinos in Macau, the only region in China with legalized gambling. Macau has been booming recently, and, judging from recent statistics, there is no slowdown in sight: According to Macau's Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau, gaming revenues for the companies operating in the region increased by 18.6% to $45.2 billion in 2013.
The company has benefited enormously from growing gaming demand in Macau. Sales have risen by more than 45% annually in the last three years, and numbers for the last quarter remain remarkably strong, with a 24% increase in revenue during the third quarter of 2013.
Competition remains under control due to the limited amount of land available to build new properties and government reluctance to issue gaming licenses because of social and political considerations. Melco Crown is also expanding into the Philippines and exploring opportunities in Japan, so growth prospects are looking quite strong for the company in the medium term.
Investing for growth in China
Baidu is the leading Chinese language Internet search provider. The company makes most of its sales by providing online advertising through an auction-based pay-for-performance service mostly targeted to small and medium-size businesses. Baidu is also performing strongly in mobile and investing heavily in powerful trends like video, maps, and travel services, among others.
China is a risky country for investors, and the Internet sector is particularly exposed to regulatory uncertainties, technological change, and a dynamic competitive landscape. But there is no denying that Baidu is capitalizing its opportunities and delivering extraordinary growth rates for shareholders.
Revenues have increased 66.5% annually through the last five years, and the company reported a big jump of 42.3% in sales for the third quarter of 2013. Earnings per share were up by only 1.3% during the quarter because of big spending in several growth areas, though.
Considering the huge opportunities the company has ahead of it in the coming years, Baidu is doing the right thing by prioritizing growth and expansion at the expense of short-term profit margins -- even if that can be a source of added uncertainty for investors in the company.
Bottom line
Investing in emerging markets is not for the faint of heart; these companies are relatively more obscure and harder to analyze than well-known U.S. businesses. Besides, political, regulatory, and economic uncertainties tend to be considerably higher in those countries. However, exceptional growth opportunities can more than compensate for risks when you invest in the right names.

In the last few months, I've been spending a considerable amount of time fleshing out some tedious but necessary parts of my game. I realized that since I'm a one-man army, I need the ability to very quickly get all of my ideas out and into a playable form without a lot of process and layers of tools. Unfortunately, the only way to achieve a very seamless workflow is by specializing your tools, which means rolling my own level editor and game formats. These things are nice to have anyway, but I believe that the time I invest in these tools will pay off in even the very first game I end up writing using them. I decided I needed a quick and easy way to import models and other game assets, a scripting language (in my case, Lua) for data definition and eventually scripted events and possibly game rules, and a level editor that allows rapid building and playtesting of open 3D worlds.
I have a few requirements for my tools, as well as any third party tools that I use. They need to have an nonrestrictive license that allows me to use them without royalties when I attempt to release my game. In addition, the license cannot be parasitic, so that by using the software I will not be forced to release my source code. I am happy to document my process on this blog, and I include all the difficult/valuable code gems to help others in their endeavors; I just don't yet want the responsibility of maintaining a reliable and active open source project. The tools will need to be cross platform (Windows, Mac OS X and Linux), since I'm a big fan of cross platform code, and I would like to prove to myself that it's not prohibitive to produce quality cross-platform software. I'm also not a fanboy of any particular platform and have a love-hate relationship with basically all technology
For starters, I needed an asset importer. I have very basic requirements for my geometry, likely without even the need for texture coordinates, let alone more complicated materials and mapping functionality. However, Because I'm using Bullet physics, and I've elected to use Blender as my modeling software, I would also like a format that stores Blender physics data. As far as I know, the only real standard format that stores this information is COLLADA, which has become a rather common intermediary format for development, however is not suitable for a production game due to the size of the files, the speed of the importers and the large amounts of unnecessary data. I've also found that a simple model loader that supports a number of formats including COLLADA is more rare than it should be. In my search, I discovered a tool called the Open Asset Import Library, or for short. This tool has been working out great so far. I created an Asset type in my engine with necessary hooks to add an asset just like any other geometric primitive I have defined by specifying a filename and a position on the screen (with options for scale, etc). The code to load an asset of any given type along with the code to parse the geometry into a list of vertices and faces for my own format definition is very straightforward:
With the ability to import any model I wanted, I wanted to clean up my main.cpp which had simply become a file for defining the objects in my scene. I decided I wanted to have scripting support that at the very least supported data definition. Essentially, my game engine would load whatever the script requested, and proceeded to simulate "the game" by following a set of rules that are currently hardwired into the engine. After a bit of research I decided upon Lua as my scripting language. Lua is fast, 'easily' embeddable into C++, and has higher level language conveniences that allow for quicker scripted events. Thankfully, since I'm a programmer, I don't need something that's strictly "human readable", I just want something that is interpreted to prevent recompiles when changing objects in a scene, and reduces the amount of typing I have to do. I've also read about a great deal of success that other indie and major game studios have had with Lua as a scripting language, and since I've used it successfully in other projects I felt comfortable with the choice.
Meshing Lua with C++ however, was not as easy as I had hoped. I went through a number of different wrappers that claimed to make Lua binding easy. Simple Lua Binder aka was my first choice, until I realized the limited support for wrapping C++ classes. And although it made calling from Lua into C++ very simple, calling from C++ into Lua was not made any easier by the tool. There was also the issue of support; it seemed like the project, while currently actively maintained, only has involvement from a single contributor which leaves it a rather fragile platform to build upon. After being scared away from SLB, I investigated , , and . Luabind seems to be a very commonly used binding library, but it also seemed overkill for the basic data definition I wanted to do at the time. ToLua++ seemed like a good option, however I couldn't seem to get it compiled and linking well on my windows machine, so without wasting too much time, I decided to drop it and try another solution. SWIG is interesting because it utilizes a pre-build step that simply outputs the native C/C++ code for binding to any particular language. The only changes that need to be made to generate bindings for various languages are configuration file changes. If I wanted to switch from Lua to Python, or even Ruby later I could do so with minimal effort. The downside is the overhead of an additional pre-build step. I wrote an API header that defines all C++ functions I wish to be visible to Lua, which is the only dependency the SWIG manifest file has. The other downside however is that SWIG still seemed to have poor support for calling from C++ into Lua (as it appears is typical among the binding solutions). Currently I have SWIG implemented and can load a camera, player, and all content into a scene using a Lua script.
The manifest file describes the binding code for SWIG to generate:
The API.h file declares the functions that will be made accessible to Lua:
This Lua script is used to define the scene:
Finally, the Lua script is invoked in C++ by:
However I've recently been reading the T-Rex book, , which I very highly recommend. McShaffry suggests , an augmentation of core Lua 5.1 which apparently has much better native binding support. While I haven't had the time so far, I plan on evaluating LuaPlus, which could hopefully resolve some of the design issues I feel I may run into with other binding systems that seem to one-sidedly support Lua to C++ calls but not vice versa.
Stay tuned for another update on integrating a GUI and designing a level editor!

Maringá is a city in the Brazilian state of Paraná. It´s a city-wide average and planned urbanization, and the third largest in the state and seventh most populous region of southern Brazil. It stands out for the quality of life and for being an important regional road junction. The city is one of the greenest in the country. Dozens of blooming color the planned city of Maringa. Full of green areas, the municipality has the postcard the Ingá Park, with more than 60 species of trees skirting the race track, the artificial lake with paddle boats, playground and the zoo. Also out in the landscape and the modernosa gigantic Cathedral of Our Lady of Glory, with 114 meters high. Inaugurated in 1972, it houses a gazebo on top with panoramic view, however, we must face 482 steps to get up there. Anyone traveling with small finds plenty of fun around town. In Ody Aquatic Park, the heated pools with slides and waves ensure recreation for the whole family. Already in the Bandeirantes Salto, the waterfall is the highlight. The drop, however, is dangerous for swimming - but the diving is guaranteed, thanks to the construction of a swimming pool and an artificial fall. On Sundays the movement of the sun is intense.

Need help? Advice?
10-6 EST, m-f
We've grown to accept that messy eating is an inevitable part of babyhood, but that doesn't mean that some damage control isn't in order. Plus, there's nothing a small child likes better than feeling independent (and some babies will insist on feeding themselves whether they're actually capable or not*).
With the NumNum Dips baby spoon set, you can cut down on the mess and delight your independent child at the same time! These innovative baby spoons aren't spoons, exactly; instead of catching food in a rounded bowl, they capture food in a channeled cutout, so that no matter which side of the spoon emerges from the food, it will still have food in it. So if your baby has the motor skills to get any object into her mouth, she can handle this. It really works: there are tons of videos!
The NumNum Dips 2-Pack comes with two NumNum Dips utensils with two different heads: the channeled head for thicker foods, and the dimpled head for thinner foods. They're great for basic purees and porridges, applesauce or yogurt – anything with a bit of gooeyness to it. The texture of the NumNums Dip heads also makes them great for soothing sore gums, so you may find that your child keeps gnawing on her NumNums after she's done with dinner. And that's fine, since they're made with safe plastic, with no PVC or BPA. Suitable for use by babies from age 6 months and up.
* This writer's mom has never tired of telling her that she was a very insistent and stubborn self-feeder as a baby.
This product has no reviews...yet.
Help your fellow shoppers and
This is Carson using his NumNum to enjoy some yogurt. No balancing act here. Just dip, eat, repeat. Mmmmmm! Welcome to the NumNum Revolution, Carson!

In early April we blogged about BRAC's new Innovation Fund for Mobile Money, which solicited ideas from the public for pilot projects using mobile money technologies to deliver services. The seven winners have now been announced, and project descriptions are on the BRAC blog as well as the Innovation Fund website.
The winners span a variety of sectors, but all seek new ways to use mobile money to serve the needs of the poor. Here are the descriptions of the winning projects from BRAC. We'll report on the progress of these projects from Bangladesh, where we're carrying out an experiment on the impact of mobile banking, this summer.
(Nearly) cashless branch: This pilot undertaken by the Integrated Development Programme is a move towards creating cashless BRAC branches in the remote char areas (riverine islands created and destroyed by floods and erosion). Given the transportation challenges and limited access to financial services in these areas, mobile money will make it easier for both BRAC clients and staff.
Mobile micro-insurance: Most of BRAC's clients lack access to traditional forms of insurance. Through a joint collaboration, the Microfinance Programme and outsider partners will offer micro-insurance with low, flexible premiums using mobile technology to poor households. It will offer protection for incidents like accidents and illnesses.
Flexible school fee payments for secondary schools: Paying school fees can be a challenge for low-income parents. To address this, the BRAC University Institute of Educational Development will introduce a flexible payment scheme using bKash at the SSCOPE low-cost secondary schools. Parents can pay without needing to come to the school premises each time.
Adolescent savings: To encourage savings behaviour among adolescent girls and provide easy access to safe savings, the Education Programme will work with their adolescent clubs to encourage the habit of mobile savings among its youth club members. Adoption of technology is higher among youth, so this can drive adoption and create a lifetime savings habit.
Mobile payments for community health workers: This initiative by BRAC's Health, Nutrition and Population Programme will look to improve operational efficiency, transparency and security by integrating mobile money instead of cash to disburse honorariums and incentives to thousands of workers.
Relief vouchers for disaster victims: When a disaster strikes, the most important thing is ensuring that the most vulnerable can access relief as soon as possible. To respond to this need, the Disaster Environment and Climate Change Programme will develop a mobile voucher system that enables clients to directly access goods from local businesses, who will be reimbursed via mobile money by BRAC.
Mobile disaster relief funds: For disasters like evictions, garment factory fires, and floods it is difficult to mobilize funds quickly, even though many would like to donate. The Disaster Environment and Climate Change Programme will set up a simple donation platform that enables them to send money via their mobile phones. This idea originated from a university student in Chittagong.

Note: this opportunity encourages applications from community college students.
Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and the Illinois Natural History Survey, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, announce the second year of a National Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site, Exploring Evidence of the Anthropocene: Archaeological and Ecological Interdisciplinary Research Experiences for First Generation Students in the Upper Mississippi River System (NSF Award No.1659633). This REU site offers ten students experiential, interdisciplinary research opportunities in archaeological and ecological sciences addressing topics related to the onset of the Anthropocene. Students will examine research questions related to deep-time environmental dynamics in the Upper Mississippi River System and changing environmental conditions by comparing data on fishes from both archaeological collections and modern samples. This eight week program includes five weeks of field research and data collection in both archaeology and ecology. The final three weeks include integrating archaeological and ecological datasets to make meaningful inferences about the Anthropocene. REU participants leave the program having generated and presented an original research poster while gaining practical research experiences. Students are also able to earn 6 credit hours for participation in the program from SIUE at in-state tuition rates.
Archaeology and ecology students will work in interdisciplinary teams and as an entire cohort to integrate human-environmental data and gain authentic experiences working as a research team. Not only will students learn new approaches to research, they will also meet students from across the country with similar interests. This research experience will be intellectually rewarding, and it will be fun! When asked about their overall experience of this REU site, former participants commented, "I loved it and would definitely recommend this to people interested in research" and "[This was] overall [an] amazing experience, life changing, thank you."

Let's get start with the Bigg Boss 11 4th October 2017 Written Episode Update Live:
Day 3
Inmates wake up to a song.
Shipa is washing dishes. Vikas starts washing too, she says water is running, he says sorry. She says you have to say sorry for many things, Vikas says I didnt say anything about you to anyone, Shilpa says I didnt talk but you do, Vikas says dont lie. Shilpa starts singing. Vikas asks if she wants to pass time? she nods, he says then be happy. Shilpa says I am very happy. Vikas says I can see your sadness in your smile, you take pain, people want to be nice but you dont like it.
Shilpa says you talk bitter. She sings razia gundo phas gaye. Vikas comes to Hina and says Shilpa is going mad, she is crossing limits. Vikas says she is clever and mad too, its dangerous. Aakash asks Shilpa why she keep singing? she says I can do anything what I want. Shilpa and Aakash starts rapping. Aakash says I am cool, Shilpa dances to his rapping. Vikas glares at them. All start rapping with him. Shilpa says people are jealous.
Vikas and Priyank talks. Priyank says Aakash and Shilpa have a problem. Vikas they are mad, Aakash is mad and Shilpa is clever, dont take my side too much, play your game, Hiten and others will take my side.
Arshi asks Zubair if someone asked him to stop talking? Zubair says even my father or mother cant stop me. Bandagi says I dont like his words. Zubair says my mummy talks like that. Bandagi says but I am not habituated to it, I cant hear it. Zubair says you are in two ships thats why you got nominated. Shilpa says she is just talking. Bandagi says you started shouting, I was just talking. Zubair says dont mess with me. Bandagi says you even use your family for sympathy. Hina asks Bandagi to calm down. Bandagi says how can you say that? Hina says I am just saying to not take his curses personally, its his habit. Arshi comes to Zubair and asks him to calm down, Zubair says to Arshi that you were silent, you trying to start fire and stopped it, dont play too safe, Arshi says I am just joking, dont take personally. Zubair says you people are even accusing me for using my kids, I dont care if I leave in a week. Bandagi says I dont care about you. Zubair says I dont even trust this Arshi.
Aakash asks Bandagi and Zubair to end it. Bandagi says to Zubair that if he wants to play fair then dont use his kids. Aakash says all clear this. He starts dancing. Zubair hugs Bandagi and says you are like my daughter.
In lounge, Arshi says to Hina that Zubair said he will get votes from whole Mumbai and he has many fans.
Arshi comes to Zubair and says you are going mad because you are nominated and all are saying that you are fighting because you want TRP. She turns and laughs to Aakash, she whispers to Aakash that its good to start fire. Zubair complains that this Arshi acts like sister and then flirt. Arshi asks him to shut up, she didnt do anything. Hina says to Bandagi that Arshi is very annoyed. Bandagi says because her game backfired on her.
Hiten reads farm task. It will be inmates Vs. Neighbors. They will get challenges in farm house and inmates have to do it. First Zubair and Shivani will take challenge. They have to catch three fishes from aquarium and make sure they catch them in less time than neighbors would.
Bigg boss calls neighbors and says that inmates think they will have challenges against you. Their first challenge is to catch fishes in time and their challenge is to catch three fishes in less time than neighbors but what they dont know that neighbors wont actually do the challenges, you just have to set time and we will tell inmates that you did that challenge in that time. You have to make sure to calculate and give a time that is believable to inmates that you did that task in that time but also make sure to give a time challenge that they cant beat and win.
Mehjabi says it will take 10 to 20 minutes to catch three fishes. Sabyasachi says I think 2 to 4 minutes will be fine I have done it. Luv says to Bigg boss that we are setting 4:30 minutes for task.
Shivani and Zubair comes to farm house in activity area. Bigg boss says neighbors have caught 3 threes in 4:30minutes, you have to do it in less than that. Zubair says I will catch them. There are cat fishes in fish aquarium. Timer starts, Zubair catches fishes in less time than 4minutes. Shivani gets elated. Neighbors watches it on TV. Luv is miffed and says to Sabasachi that we gave them too much time, Sabya says we couldnt give them seconds.
Shivani comes to lounge and says Zubair did task in time, his kids must be proud, we should appreciate it.
Zubair says to camera that some people have done contracts with colors to come here. Bandagi says I dont want to listen to him. Zubair taunts that some fishes are putting dirt in pool. Aakash asks him to be respectful. Zubair says I am being respectful, you dont know what I am. You people have seen Ajaz Khan and I am way ahead, I am Mumbai's Ajaz Khan. Arshi looks on.
Bigg boss gives next challenge to inmates. Inmates read that Aakash, Bandagi and Benafsha will do this task. There will be donkey and they have to feed carrots to donkey and take care of him.
Bigg boss says neighbors have said that made donkey eat all carrots in bucket in 4:56 minutes so Aakash, and Bandagi have to do it before that time.
Aakash, Bandagi and Benafsha comes to activity area, there is donkey there. Bigg boss says neighbors have fed all carrots to him 4:56 minutes, so you have to do it before that, they nod. Aakash washes donkey, he says his name is Jack, we will make him manly, Benafsha says how cute, Aakash says its my favorite name. Benafsha and Bandagi tries to feed him.
In house, Hiten says that our house's donkey Aakash will act in activity area. Hina says if he did something like that infront of me then I would have slapped him.
In activity area, Benafsha tries to feed donkey but he doesnt eat, she says please eat. Bigg boss says your time is up for this challenge, you can leave. Benafsha says when we will get to know results. Neighbors see it. In garden, Benafsha says I dont think neighbors could have that done that task in 4 minutes, he was not even eating one carrot. Luv hears it and says we can argue that donkey was hungry when we did that task.
whats your husband's name in story? she says Sajid, he asks when did he die? she tries to tell a date.. she gets confused and cant tell a date. Bigg boss asks Lucinda where was MP Siddiqui last time? she says in hotel in Delhi. Bigg boss asks Lucinda one character name, she says I cant recall it. Mehjabi says we have not done full preparation for story. Bigg boss says you all four will go in main house only when Bigg boss thinks that not you but your character in living here, till then you cant go in main house so prepare story nicely.
Arshi and Sapna are talking. Arshi says she was saying to Hiten that he and she should marry. Jyoti comes there with shawl. Arshi is wearing nightie, she opens its front and is wearing red bra underneath, she says I am not scared. Sapna asks Jyoti to get to know people here. Jyoti says I have not come to get to know people here. Sapna says I am not starting argument with you. Jyoti says you told me to get to know people, I didnt talk to you. Sapna says because you dont know people here and just blabber without thinking. Jyoti says dont show finger. Sapna shouts that you showed finger first, Jyoti says stop it. Sapna says what do you mean to shut up? you shut up, you keep uttering rubbish. Shivani comes there too. Jyoti says you think I am illmannered? Sapna says yes, Jyoti says now you will see my illmannerism. Sapna says you just wanted fight. Jyoti says not all are mad, Sapna says you are biggest mad here. Jyoti says so you want to do treatment here?
Shilpa asks Jyoti if we are here to play games here? you have to try to behave, have your parents taught you to misbehave with everyone? fight but dont lose dignity, take out anger but dont disrespect.
Sapna comes in bedroom and says scene was created in garden, Zubair asks who did it? Sapna says Jyoti was saying rubbish, I told her she is crazy. Sapna says I was so angry, I would beat her face with my slipper. Puneesh says its not allowed. Sapna says I dont care, I would beat her to pulp. Vikas says she a kid, dont focus on her. Sapna says she is no kid, she would take on everyone in a blink, dont take her lightly. Bandagi says I told everyone that she is not so innocent. Arshi says Vikas have a fight with her and then you will know.
Arshi says Shilpa says you were her friend. Vikas says I have her only two times. Arshi says but she said you are her very good friend. Vikas says I have met her only two times in life then what friendship? Arshi asks then whats the fight about? Vikas says I dont know her. Shilpa comes there and sings kale kawe.. Vikas asks if she has split personality? do you need a doctor? Vikas says why did you lie to people that you were my very nice friend? Shilpa keeps singing jhoot bole kawa kaate. Vikas says you are crow. Shilpa keeps ignoring him. Zubair starts singing too. Arshi laughs.

The lovely BellaBookGirl from TLCBooks wrote a cool blog post describing her buying decisions when getting in new stock for her independent book store.
Each month I literally go through hundreds of books from many publishers and decide what to order for the upcoming months. Did you catch that? Hundreds of books. And on big months, I would say thousands when you look at October lists (pre-Christmas) and dealing with over 20 publishers. Can you imagine, as a bibliophile, how you have to reign in the urge to buy it all? I seriously feel like cackling "mine, mine, mine, they will all be mine!" but I refrain and act professionally when all I want to be is a kid in a candy store.
There are some really interesting bits of information in here, from both a publishing and writing perspective. I've always thought covers were super important to draw in the curious eye, and Bella makes a good point:
Many people won't give a book as much of a chance if the cover doesn't reflect what is described through the blurb on the back. The cover will attract the wrong people who will read the blurb and feel a disconnection with the book already. Game over.
And of course there are lots of other interesting points, as well as a list of things that do not influence her buying decision, such as promises of refunds and/or free steak knives.
At Literarium we want to support independent bookstores in this brave new world of publishing, and we have a few ideas to help connect writers to their local bookstores. These kind of insights into what convinces a bookseller to stock your book are valuable to anyone wanting their books on the very limited shelf space available.

Google Chrome is a browser that has changed the way people used to browse the web. It is fast, it is quick and it is awesome. If the Chrome browser is in use with the right extensions, the joy of browsing and working with Chrome intensifies. Did you ever think of having an alternative to the New Tab page in Chrome? We are talking about the Speed Dial extension.
Replace Google Chrome's New Tab Page With Speed Dial
Installing the Speed Dial Extension
When you start the installation process of this Speed Dial extension, you only need to click "Install" in the message window. This will install the extension to your Google Chrome browser. Remember that when you finish installing the extension, it takes the place of the New Tab Page.
Once the installation process is complete, you will be able to see the "Information Tab". As the name suggests, it gives you more information about the extension.
Using the Extension
When it is the first time you open the tab, you will realize that the Speed Dial page will have an altogether different look from what you used to see on the New Tab Page. The Google Search Box, the options, 12 dial-boxes to start with as well as the "Recently Closed" tabs bar will be visible.
It is worthwhile for you to go through the option before you actually start. In the "Options" you can make changes like setting the number of rows and columns (you can take a maximum of six rows and columns), or adding background image and color of your choice.
You can also have the option of deactivating the Search Box among many other such features.
Setting the Background Color
On the Speed Dial page, there is the option for you to set the colors of your choice. Of the currently available colors, just click on your preferred color icon and you are done.
Setting the Background Image
Immediately above the color options, you should see text box under "Background Image" with two buttons – "Set" and "Clear".
Type the URL for that image and click on "Set". This will now set the selected image as the background image.
Adding Current Page to Speed Dial
It is possible that while surfing you will stumble upon a web site that you would like to add to Speed Dial. Well, it is easy. Click on "Address Bar Icon". This will give you access to the drop-down menu, where you will find the option "Add Current Page". Click it to add it to the Speed Dial. If you click on "Open", the Speed Dial page will open.
Drag and Drop
When you have all the dial-boxes set up, you can give one final finishing touch to it by dragging and dropping the boxes according to your priority. If you right-click on the dial-box, the menu will show options for opening the web page either in a new tab or in a new window. There will also be an option for removing the dial-box from your settings. You can do so by using the last option "Remove Dial".

Posted: Wednesday April 18, 2012 @12:41 p.m. PST
Maria Menounos, Debra Messing, Leslie Bibb, Taraji P. Henson, and Morena Baccarin stripped down for our shoot, draped in just a few strands of diamonds. Here's how they got their bodies—and minds—ready for the big reveal.
As a teen beauty-pageant contestant, Menounos received low swimsuit scores. "I was hippy and I didn't diet for contests. And it didn't bother me," she says. The 33-year-old Extrahost has a healthy attitude about her body, but that doesn't mean she's comfortable getting naked. In fact, she's so hesitant to be bare it all that she's afraid of getting pregnant because of how much she'd have to expose."I have some serious issues here," she admitted. "But I want to get over that." She looked to this photo shoot to cure to her shyness, and it may have worked: "This was definitely challenging," she said, "but I feel so much better having done it."
At 43, Messing's decision to pose nude came from a natural process of self-acceptance. "Once you have a child, once you pass 40, you have a different relationship with your body," she said. "I love my body in a way I never have before." And the parts she loves the most? "My shoulders, clavicle, and chest," she explains. "I started out in dance—there's something beautiful about a dancer's upper body. I love strapless dresses."

Harsha's father, Prabhākara was from Thaneshwar, his brother followed Hinayana Buddhism while, according to Bana, Harsha himself was a Mahayana Buddhist.
According to the Chinese Pilgrim Xuanzang, who visited his kingdom in 636, Harsha built numerous stupas in the name of Buddha. Xuanzang entered a grand competition organized by Harsha and won the theological debate. Harsha also became a patron of art and literature. He made numerous endowments to the University at Nalanda. Two seals of Harsha have been found in Nalanda in the course of the excavations. All these favours and donations of the great emperor were crowned by the construction of a lofty wall enclosing all the buildings of the university to defend the institution from any other possible attack. In 643 he held a Buddhist convocation at Kannauj which was reputedly attended by 20 kings and thousands of pilgrims.
In 641, following Xuanzang's visit, Harsha sent a mission to China which established the first diplomatic relations between China and India. The Chinese responded by sending an embassy consisting of Li Yibiao and Wang Xuanze, who probably traveled through Tibet and whose journey is commemorated in inscriptions at Rajagriha – modern Rajgir, and Bodhgaya.
Harsha was a noted author on his own merit. He wrote three Sanskrit plays – Nagananda, Ratnavali and Priyadarsika. His reign is comparatively well documented, thanks to his court poet Bana and Xuanzang. Bana composed an account of Harsha's rise to power in Harsha Charitha, the first historical poetic work in Sanskrit language. Xuanzang wrote a full description of his travels in India.

Pujades-Rodriguez, M and McKeever, T and Lewis, S and Whyatt, JD and Britton, J and Venn, A (2009) Effect of traffic pollution on respiratory and allergic disease in adults: cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses. BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 9 (42). ISSN 1471-2466Full text not available from this repository.
Background: Epidemiological research into the role of traffic pollution on chronic respiratory and allergic disease has focused primarily on children. Studies in adults, in particular those based on objective outcomes such as bronchial hyperresponsiveness, skin sensitisation, and lung function, are limited. Methods: We have used an existing cohort of 2644 adults aged 18-70 living in Nottingham, UK, for whom baseline health and demographic data were collected in 1991 and computed two markers of exposure to traffic: distance between the home and nearest main road and modelled outdoor nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentration at the home location. Using multiple regression techniques, we analysed cross-sectional associations with bronchial hyperresponsiveness, FEV1, spirometry-defined COPD, skin test positivity, total IgE and questionnaire-reported wheeze, asthma, eczema and hayfever in 2599 subjects, and longitudinal associations with decline in FEV1 in 1329 subjects followed-up nine years later in 2000. Results: There were no significant cross-sectional associations between home proximity to the roadside or NO2 level on any of the outcomes studied (adjusted OR of bronchial hyperresponsiveness in relation to living ≤150m vs >150m from a road = 0.92, 95% CI 0.68 to 1.24). Furthermore, neither exposure was associated with a significantly greater decline in FEV1 over time (adjusted mean difference in FEV1 for living ≤150m vs >150m of a road = 10.03ml, 95% CI, -33.98 to 54.04). Conclusions: This study found no evidence to suggest that living in close proximity to traffic is a major determinant of asthma, allergic disease or COPD in adults.

wait, so is he is orbit?
He shouldn't be, but then again he shouldn't be able to reach orbit with a trampoline, either.
He could be in orbit but it doesn't look like he has much velocity parallel to the earth's surface (orbiting is basically going sideways faster than you can fall-like a ball spinning on a rubber band, the ball acting like a the trampoline-naut and the rubber band acting as gravity). If he's in orbit, it's a pretty elliptical one, like a comet's orbit.
If he was traveling over ~25,000mph at earth's surface, he'd be going fast enough to escape earth's gravity and drift into space until he hit something.

The Way You Make Your Money Matters
I was reading this article about this woman who gets paid by men to buy stuff. Basically they video chat, and she yells at him and he buys her stuff. The guy gets off on it. She makes a lot of money doing stuff like this for many different men, but she is in school for biology or something. My first thought was WTF. If you have a job that makes you a lot of money and all you have to do is get men to buy you stuff, WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?
I kept reading as she shared some of the creepier not-safe-for-this-inbox stories about the weird things her clients would do. She talked about the emotional exhaustion and boredom that happened simultaneously. She was basically saying that she was unfulfilled.
Getting men to buy her 500 dollar shoes didn't really rev her engine.
Yeah, she was making it rain by doing something easy but in the long term it just didn't feel right. She wanted more.
Here is the thing about making money. There are so many posts and ads about how to make money, but nobody tells you that the WAY you make your money is just as important as you just making it.
I've had lots of experience with this. In my past, I've made a lot of money doing things that it would seem stupid to STOP DOING but in the end it left me with more trouble than it was worth.
Internal trouble. Nobody talks about the internal trouble you can get in doing the online business stuff. Client expectations. Pressures. Customer service. Time. Effort. Desire.
Whenever you decide to sell something you are putting yourself at the mercy of whoever buys it and people can be shitty.
This is why when it comes to thinking about what you are going to offer, you shouldn't just do the things that will make you money. You should do the things you know you'll be able to do in the long haul. You should do the things you know you can happily deliver on.
Because if you don't, it's not sustainable. Unless your business is COMPLETELYpassive (and even when it's passive, if you are over the content your marketing suffers, I've seen this happen), of course.
You can't sell stuff you don't want to do. It shows. -- Tweet this!
So what does this mean for you? If there is a little voice in the back of your head that is telling you that the launch you are the planning and the thing you are doing just doesn't feel right….stop.
If you are doing a service that is selling well but makes you want to punch minions? Think of an exit plan.
You don't have to lovvveeee the work you are doing, but you do have to respect the work and make sure you can always do a good job.
No new product this week but the Brand Chemistry Content Guide is still in the store. I've gotten so many great emails from people who have dug it. It is short and sweet and even if you don't know your brand chemistry type you can use the ideas for anything. Grab it here.

This is the most sacred mantra, which is regarded as the primal sound in the birth of the cosmos.
Its symbol is OM, but the actual mystic sound heard in the deep meditative state is A-U-M, which appears to correspond to the three elements that sprang up out of creation: Spirit-mind-body. A stands for the initial surge of emanation; U for preserving or nurturing it; and M for absorption, not dissolution. It also stands for Brahma-Vishnu-Shiva, the Hindu trinity.
When articulated or chanted, it is cleansing or purifying, and activates certain latent forces in the human body, and helps transcend worldly problems. Hence, as the holiest of all mantras, OM must precede all other mantras, otherwise the latter would not have the presence of divine power or force. To make any work successful, the OM mantra must be invoked before the work is started.
It is regarded to exist before and after creation. It is imperishable and therefore the symbol of the Infinite. It resides and is present in silence, and represents the entire manifested and unmanifested world.
Om Mani Padme Hum is the most common mantra in Tibet. It is recited by Buddhists, painted on rocks, and carved on prayer wheels. The essence of all the teachings of the Buddha are said to be contained in this mantra. Literally meaning "Aum to the Jewel in the Lotus," this Tibetan mantra is said to invoke compassion. Tibetan people and almost all Buddhists believe that chanting this mantra of Chenrezig (Bodhisatva of Compassion) helps to rescue them from the sea of suffering and to achieve Buddhahood. Repeating it is believed to purify the mind and body. The mantra is also used for protection.
OM helps you to achieve perfection in the practice of generosity. Repetition of Om helps us maintain mental and emotional calmness, and to overcome obstacles.
MANI (jewel) helps you to perfect the practice of pure ethics, tolerance and patience.
PADME (lotus) helps you to achieve perfection in the practice of perseverance and concentration.
HUM (inseparability, purity) helps you to achieve perfection in the practice of wisdom.

text: This is happening, just in time for weekend sewing. Most quilts start this way for me. A block idea pops into my head. I decide generally how big I want the pieces to be, and then I just see how big one block turns out. No math. Forget it. I know, I know, I work backwards, but I just like the results of doing it this way better. Being responsive instead of planning too much allows me to make decisions visually and aesthetically rather than analytically. I guess I just like to keep things loose as I piece.

[Click here for a guide to Booze Revooze and the rating system used]
From the juiced-box and the soundtrack: The Black Keys – Chop And Chan
Ramblings: Twi-lite
Final Proof: 2 Shots
You know how you go to get drunk at a high school party and not even one thrown by cool kids whose parents are out of town but by some Christian kid in his basement where his parents promise to stay upstairs? You hope at least the punch is packing but it's not spiked because of all the vampire wannabe's, so there's no booze and the only kind of action you get is sophomoric melodrama love triangles that are pointless because none of the sides are even dry humping each other. The only sex in the party is french kissing without the added touch of heavy petting and you are so far beyond these dweebs in every thought you've ever had, ever drink you've ever drunk, everything you've ever done that you know before you go that you have no business inflicting yourself on their poor saved souls. So yeah, Twilight: Eclipse is kinda like that sad high school party.
What do you want me to tell you? This movie is like a pink lady or other girlie cocktail: not made for me. i will say i hated this one less than i hated the previous one, New Moon, but that's paramount to saying getting stabbed in my left eye didn't hurt as much as being stabbed in my right eye.
i'm thinking i pretty much shouldn't be allowed to review any movie that will be on the covers of notebooks in supermarket back-to-school sale bins. Or kiddie sheets—i definitely should not be permitted to critique any film that could spawn a sheet set for a toddler's bed. i need to remember to stay with the kind movie that would make a good tat or that you could whack off to. Something like that.
There's just nothing cool about this movie. Nothing. The sad thing is that it's starting to deteriorate Kristen Stewart's acting. She was pretty decent in Into The Wild and now this third installment of Twinklight is so sugar sappy sweet that's it's decaying her acting chops away to nothing.
You ever see a girl act with her pout? Unbelievable. It's like, "Here's my sexy pout. Here's my sad pout. Here's my angry pout. Here's my favorite, it's my incredulous pout and you're gonna see it a lot because I can't freaking believe all the attention this crap is giving me."
i sure as hell can't believe it, either.
Guess what. As Dakota Fanning is still too young to know better, i'm gonna have to card her here. Nothing age inappropriate in the Bar None, yo.
Buzz Kills (Watch Out for Spoilers)
Sex: 2 Shots
Plenty of hot girls, the only problem is none of them were doing anything hot, but then again, it wasn't entirely their fault. For example, there's one scene where Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson) are all alone in the house and lying on the bed and making out with all their clothes on and Bella starts begging Ed to drive his tube stake deep into her and….he says No. He takes a pass on that and stands up to leave.
Before we get any deeper into the sexy bits, here's a song from the soundtrack to scroll by: Sia – My Love
One of the reasons i'm being generous with my rating here is that there were 5 times we got to see Kristen Stewart's butt (which is 20-years-old) in jeans.
Can anyone tell me why her belt is on backwards? Is this like "hip" fashion?
Apart from that, the most we get out of Bella is a lot of kissing. She's the kissing slut in the basement closet of this freshman party. Here's a little more than that.
There'll be more single shots of her served up in my drawers. Scroll down for that.
Still fiercely clinging to my metaphor, we got Jessica (Anna Kendrick) as the slow friend of the party. Jessica may be the class valedictorian, but it's gotta be pretty easy to ace your senior year when, like Anna, you're nearly 25.
There's single shots of her held back in my drawers as well. This means Kristen Stewart and Anna Kendrick are hanging out in my drawers together, dawg.
The other main cutie in this bad boy is Ashley Greene (23), as Alice Cullen. As impressive as her acting talents is seeing her nipple poking all the way through her thick leather coat. That's a skill they can't teach in theater class.
Some more single shots of her are hanging with the rest at the bottom of my drawers.
i jotted down in my notes that Victoria was hotter in this movie than New Moon. Turns out my eye for the sexy is more finely attuned than we thought because putting this post together i found out they changed actresses. Last time we had Rachel Lefevre and they switched her out for Bryce Dallas Howard (29).
Yep, still some more shots of her in the drawers.
First off, we got Julia Jones (29) who does well in the role of smoldering Leah Clearwater; course "smoldering" is easy for her 'cause she's smoking hot.
Second off, we got Monique Ganderton (29), stuntwoman and sexy civil war flashback vampire. She must be a good actress, she speaks with an accent and everything.
For those of you more interested in stakes than hearts, we got Robert Pattinson (24) as Edward Cullen.
Here's Rob in the Bar None.
The only line that cracked me up in the movie (OK, the only line that cracked me up and was meant to crack me up) was when Ed sees Jacob (Taylor Lautner–18) topless and says "Doesn't he own a shirt?"
Drink: 0 Shots
- Bella's dad drinks "R" beer [wtf?]
- Some guys are drunk in an alley in a prohibition flashback
- Negative points because there's a high school graduation party and no one drinking alcohol. And you thought vampires hanging with werewolves wasn't realistic…
Rock & Roll: ½ Shot
We got The Black Keys up above and we also got us some Florence & The Machine (who i actually first discovered in Jennifer's Body). Apart from these two tunes, the soundtrack was pretty super lame. Don't believe me? Take a look at this:
- Metric – Eclipse (All Yours)
- Muse – Neutron Star Collision (Love is Forever)
- The Bravery – Ours
- Florence & The Machine – Heavy In Your Arms
- Sia – My Love
- Fanfarlo – Atlas
- Chop And Change – The Black Keys
- The Dead Weather – Rolling In On A Burning Tire
- Beck and Bat For Lashes – Let's Get Lost
- Vampire Weekend – Jonathan Low
- Unkle – With You In My Head (Feat. The Black Angels)
- Eastern Conference Champions – A Million Miles An Hour
- Band Of Horses – Life On Earth
- Cee Lo Green – What Part Of Forever
- Jacob's Theme – Howard Shore
Anyway, here's the Florence & The Machine tune:
There was some music that was not even close enough to rock to be included in the same sentence as the word "rock" at the high school graduation party.
There was also some music not as pop as the rest of the pop during the scene where southern accent vampire teaches everyone how to fight newborn vampires.
As for rock and roll action, there was a fight scene with vampires and werewolves against baby ("newborn") vampires. Cool enough but way too short.
Boring Technical Crap

A safe, highly effective, licensed vaccine for the prevention of hepatitis B virus infection is available. Hepatitis B is a common and serious disease with an annual incidence in the United States of 200 000 cases. Seventy-five percent of patients with hepatitis B have mild or subclinical disease, 25% develop jaundice, 5% require hospitalization, and 0.1% die of fulminant disease; 6% to 10% of infected patients become chronic carriers. Of the 600 000 to 800 000 carriers in the United States, approximately 25% develop chronic hepatitis and approximately 4000 die of cirrhosis each year. In addition, 1% to 2% of

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit recently put its stamp of approval on Kentucky's legislative ethics law, sending a clear signal for strong public ethics laws across the nation.
Kentucky's ethics law was challenged in a lawsuit filed by John Schickel, a state senator from Boone County.
Most people get mail every day, Monday through Saturday. But what happens when the mail comes later than we expect?
We found out a few years ago, when the Postmaster General had to take away overnight First-Class and Periodicals mail from most of the nation. That caused a problem for a lot of consumers and businesses. Now, we may be facing a new slowdown, if something isn't done by Congress soon.
It was wonderful to read the Grant County News last week and learn about the many people in the county who graciously and generously helped in hurricane relief efforts in Florida.
These tragic times offer some teaching moments for all of us. First, we should be reminded that we are to show compassion towards others, as taught in Christ's parable of the Good Samaritan. Second, as I said to the Grant County News last week, Christians can use this time to better understand why God allows suffering and death in the world.
Most people know an addict or have been touched by heroin or some other drug. In some way, I never thought it would affect my family or me in such a tremendous manner.
The week of Sept.17 through Sept. 23 is recognized as Constitution Week.
The Constitution was written in the same Pennsylvania Statehouse where the Declaration of Independence was signed and George Washington received his commission as commander of the Continental Army. It's now called Independence Hall.
Written in 1787, the Constitution was signed on Sept. 17, but it wasn't until 1788 that it was ratified by the necessary nine states. Also of the written National Constitutions, the U.S. Constitution is the oldest and shortest.
Kentucky's pension systems are in critical condition. While certain state retirement plans are arguably in "better shape" than others are, every system is severely underfunded and rapidly spiraling downward towards a single outcome: no more money to pay Kentucky's retirees.
Understandably, retirees and those nearing retirement are concerned. Over the past 10 years, Kentucky's pension systems have lost more than $7 billion in value.
One of the toughest things a parent will do is send their child to college. I have done it twice and still find myself worrying: Are they eating enough? Meeting new friends? Finding time to study?
Fortunately, parents today have much less to stress about when it comes to their children's health. Thanks to modern medicine and immunizations, we no longer live in fear of many serious illnesses that once posed massive threats.
I was encouraged to read the article in the Aug.17 issue of the Grant County News reporting that Dry Ridge continues to boom due to Ark Encounter tourism, and that much-needed hotels and restaurants are being built there. Meanwhile, business leaders all over northern Kentucky are using words like "phenomenal" to describe the impact the Ark and our sister attraction the Creation Museum are having on the regional economy.
If you happen to own one of the hundreds of hotels in Northern Kentucky, Lexington/Georgetown and even parts of Cincinnati, you are happy.
I have worked closely with the Ark Encounter since Answers in Genesis announced the project in December of 2010. Because of my work for the Ark Encounter, I was granted the privilege of cutting the ribbon at the opening ceremony. As I stated then, we have had our issues and debates on how things should be, but we always work them out in a professional manner. I think the safety assessment fee controversy has been the first issue to receive this much media attention.
From the beginning of our administration, we have set the goal of making Kentucky the engineering and manufacturing hub of excellence in the world. We are off to a good start. We recently shattered our annual record for new economic development projects and we did so in only the first five months of 2017.
Many factors weigh into the decisions of businesses to expand or locate their facilities in our state. However, every business leader I meet with emphasizes the quality of our workforce as one of their most critical considerations.
For the nearly 900,000 smokers in Kentucky, there has never been a better time to quit.
During the 2017 legislative session, the General Assembly passed much needed legislation to equip individuals addicted to tobacco with the tools they need to quit successfully. The smoking cessation coverage bill (Senate Bill 89) removes barriers that limit patient access to evidence-based cessation treatments.
As we turn the page on July 2017, I find myself asking the same question once again, "Is summer over already?" To the disappointment of most Kentucky students, and many parents, the answer is an overwhelming "yes."
In Senate District 17, Scott County students will report back for classes on Thursday, Aug. 10. For Grant County students, the first day back is either Monday, Aug. 14, or Tuesday, Aug. 15, depending on your grade. In Kenton County, students are due back a bit later: Wednesday, August 23.
Opioid abuse is one of Kentucky's most pressing and publicized health issues. In 2016, more than 1,400 Kentuckians died from opioid overdoses. That's an average of nearly four deaths per day.
These alarming statistics have made curbing opioid abuse a statewide priority—and Kentuckians of all backgrounds and sectors are committed to finding solutions.
I lived in Grant County 40 years, just recently moving to Richwood after my husband's passing. I am deeply concerned about Williamstown and Grant County, in general.
I am reading and hearing a lot of criticism about the Ark Encounter, and I am truly puzzled.
When I first started my job as a news reporter here at the Grant County News, I was both excited, and nervous.
This was my first official job after graduating college in 2016, after several years of working both journalism and public relations internships, as well as working for my university's student newspaper.
The Ark Encounter celebrated its first anniversary this month but instead of fanfare and praise, some news media and protestors poured rain on its parade. The Biblical theme park, which consists of a life-size replica of Noah's Ark based in Northern Kentucky, faced 75 protesters and criticism from a columnist who said the group promotes "fringe beliefs." But hey, it's the Ark, right? Compared to criticism that Noah faced, I'm sure this modern-day rendition will weather the storm.
I was glad to read the piece in the Grant County News by former Judge Executive Shirley Howard about the tourism boom experienced by Grant County due to the Ark Encounter.
I'm a man, a father and a husband. I'm also a boss and a judge. I also believe in magic.
I got married in 1981 to my wife. We have two children.
The children are older now but when they were younger they were involved in many things; sports, activities and school, just to name a few. At the same time, they were well fed, wore clean clothes and always cared for when they became ill. My children are respectful, mannerly and great people.
In the past three years, the Kentucky Backyard Beekeepers have greatly expanded our activities at the Grant County Fair.
From just a few honey entries, we've offered a full honey show with categories in various grades of honey, hive products, food, art and crafts.
