Color of the Month—Orange, 2017
By Jerry Rabushka,
Filed under: Color of the Month, Feature
On the Scene for 2018
Years ago there was one house I would walk by that always left its shades up at night to expose a big orange wall in the living room. It was impossible to miss, and more than that, it made me want to know more about the people who lived there and why they painted the room Florida Sunshine Orange. It turned the most mind-your-business walker into a nosy neighbor.
The answer to "why" is probably a lot different now than it was those 30 years ago. It's hard to miss how colors have been trending bolder, brighter, darker—whatever they're doing, they're moving! Where does that leave orange? We had a lot of folks weigh in on this one: who would want it, and why?
Sophisticated Whimsy
2018 could turn out to be a big year for this color, whether you use it for quirkiness or complexity, predicts Ashley Banbury, Senior Designer at Pratt & Lambert. "For 2018, you're going to see orange trending from fashion to home interiors—it was a prevalent color on the Spring 2018 runways, which will influence color in a home," she said. "You will see pops of orange being incorporated in accessories from pillows to wall paint." You may see it in small doses to compliment shades of blue, she noted, but it will also be used monochromatically, where an entire room will use different shades of orange from chairs to walls.
There are lots of ways to combine it to keep a smile on someone's face. "Red and yellow are mixed together to create orange; yellow itself is a natural warm color that invokes happiness," she reminded us. "Trending oranges are going to be slightly darker and muted. You will see different shades of orange, some showing a little more of a yellow undertone and some reading more red." Pair it with blues and mustard yellow to complement those shades, or pair it with navy and red for a bold sophisticated look.
Your way to selling orange may be to show customers these different uses of the color, focusing on how it blends into a 2018 scheme as described above. But first, see how they react—don't shove it down their throat. "It's always important to get an understanding of what colors a customer gravitates towards," Banbury recommends. And remind your grown-up customers that it's OK to have some fun. "Orange connects people and is a color that is vibrant and inviting," she described. "Because it combines the cheerfulness of yellow and stimulation of red, it's a social color that gets people to think and it sparks conversation!"
Add Some Pulp
Hannah Yeo, Benjamin Moore Color and Design Expert, continues with some ways to juice up interest in orange. "Brighter shades are certainly appropriate for kids' rooms or in commercial spaces, while muted oranges can have a sophisticated look," she said. "Place it against browns and grays for a cozy, comforting color scheme. Natural wood and metal accents are also great way to infuse into toasty hues." Still not sure? Start off with some small accents: chairs, table, or front door. "You'll be surprised how versatile it can be," said Yeo. You might just surprise those customers who previously ruled it out.
Yeo isn't surprised, and neither are we after all we've heard, that warmer colors are en vogue. The Halloween-Thanksgiving season gives orange a boost—hues from burnt umber to bright orange evoke harvest time. For a year-round orange, pairing it with different hues keeps it fresh and appropriate. "Whites, yellows and young greens with a dose of pale orange signifies spring. Brighter oranges against blue are energetic for hot beach weather," she said.
"Orange in the home will stay muted, but at the same time, brighten up a bit," she predicts. "If last year was a warm cognac to terracotta hue, this year the oranges are richer and more saturated—think of exotic spices or ripe papaya. Vibrant yet deeply rooted, these bitter orange hues bring life into any living space."
For a business, orange might be just the thing to keep customers coming back! "Zesty orange accents will continue its use in commercial spaces," she said. "A little glimpse of intense orange against all white or all black is undeniably eye catching. The drama it creates transforms a space into an experience."
Branching Out
Dee Schlotter, Senior Color Marketing Manager at PPG, notes that there are quite a few shades of the color in PPG's 2018 Global Color Forecast, but not the orange you might expect. "All of the trending oranges in our 2018 forecast are not what most would see as a 'true' orange—the happy, bright, energizing hues. The trending oranges actually lean more towards pink hues and are trending in matte and metallic finishes," she said.
Dee agrees with our other color experts that orange is being seen differently; these new shades are giving it the ability to succeed where it may have been overlooked before. "While the top trending colors for 2018 are darker hues, like the PPG Paints™ 2018 Color of the Year, Black Flame (PPG1043-7), softer, more pinkish-orange hues are trending for 2018 and offer a balance and grounding effect. Although these colors still can evoke happiness, they are less energizing and less distracting than a traditional orange color," she said.
Take a tour through the PPG Paints 2018 Global Color Forecast and you'll notice that shift. The colors vary from muted, faded oranges that lean toward a light pink—such as Pale Taupe (PPG1073-3), Bermuda Sand (PPG1074-3), and Suntan (PPG1068-4)—to more saturated, sun-scorched tones and darker brownish-oranges—like Cranapple (PPG1190-5), Summer Sunset (PPG1192-6), or Apple Brown Betty (PPG1062-2). "These shades are toned down versions of orange—as I like to say, we've taken the edge off—meaning they are invigorating, but are more modern versions of the clean oranges we saw years ago," said Schlotter.
Your way to sell this idea, she adds, is to educate and discuss by showing customers new shades and their applications in inspirational photos. They more they explore, they more they might consider orange as a legitimate option. "A customer may want something attention-grabbing and inviting, which orange can exude," said Schlotter. "However when orange is a recommendation, customers likely think of the traditional, child-like color and may not want the bright, distracting shade. For this scenario, having the names and swatches of trending oranges can open their eyes to different shades that still meet their expectations—but with an unexpected color."
Disco is Back
How Deep is Your Love" for Orange? The '70s are influencing 2017, opines Mary Lawlor, Manager of Color Marketing at Kelly-Moore. Browns will be the dominant neutral in 2018, she pointed out, which is good to make sure orange is "Stayin' Alive." "This introduces muddied colors like burnt orange into the palette, however, brighter oranges will remain to keep the palette fresh," she said.
"For a seasonal entry door try a muted darker orange like Pumpkin Pie (HLS4306)," Lawlor suggests. "Keep those pass thru areas like laundry rooms or hallways accented with brighter oranges like Deagsy (KM5401) and Candied Yams (KM5343.)"
Since it's a happy color, orange can keep the "Good Times" going. "It's perfect as an accent for someone unsure about adding color to a room. It is timelessly uplifting when used sparingly, as in the back of a cabinet or in stripes on a small wall," Lawlor concluded.
The beauty of orange is that in many cases it's unexpected. "Orange for interiors and exteriors tends to be applied as an accent and then heavily influenced by reds, browns and gold," said Sandy Agar-Studelska, Marketing Manager at Diamond Vogel Paint. "Consumers looking for inspired color reach for colors influenced by orange as they are welcoming and connect so well with nature." Often, a little goes a long way. "The larger-than-life personality of orange can add a dramatic element to a space, but usually in small doses as it can overwhelm." Today's oranges, she noted, are trending darker, saturated and influenced by reds and browns.
Combining orange with a neutral is a great way to kick a room into high gear. "With the popularity of neutrals like gray, many homeowners want accent colors that coordinate well with neutrals. Even dark neutrals and orange-influenced colors are a great choice," she said.
Outside it can also make a statement, and Sandy pointed to a trend toward rust or cinnamon, especially for front doors (see photo, far left). "Orange is a great color for an exterior front door as it offers a happy and welcoming vibe," she concluded.
Bridging the Gulf
Emmett Fiore, Senior Color Strategist at Fine Paints of Europe, states that orange is heating up. "Orange is going bolder and off the center line, skewed either to the yellower or redder side," he observed. "Its brightness makes it a very effective, fun accent color that becomes even brighter when juxtaposeed with shades of grays, blue, brown, and even black."
Some of us are still recovering from our orange history, he says. Gulf gas station signs have given people a perception of orange that they're just now coming to terms with—they're finally breaking free, and the younger generation in particular is leaving the Gulf behind.
"They've been weaned on those signs their entire lives and they feel the image problem," said Fiore. "These are powerful associations and it's time for a change. Orange, the color of enlightenment, is the perfect venue for their mission statement, so it is being reinvented (skewed off that center line, swerving away from the Gulf station), repossessed, and used creatively by many new companies and individuals to get their message across.
Behold! A new orange and a bold, new generation of orange lovers."
Perhaps that one house in the old neighborhood was just ahead of its time. Hopefully they haven't repainted!
Room by Room
We gave color expert and consultant Kristin Summer (of Colors With Kristin in the Boston, MA area), a challenge: how would she use orange in various situations? Or…would she try it at all? Color makes a difference, even past what the eye sees. "Choosing the correct colors for your environment is essential to your health," she says. "Colors make you feel. They have a strong healing element. Color is one of the key elements of creating energy in a room or space." Here's her take on orange in a variety of spaces:
• In a small bathroom: I could see it in a burnt orange, super bold and fun. The powder room should be fun! I've done some of my most fun murals in the powder room. One older woman had me do a scene like it was inside a French dance studio—you could see the Eiffel Tower out one of the windows, and lots of drapes in the room. She wanted a full-size painting of her in a tutu—and she was a rather large woman! Her leg was flung over the ballet bar…it was awesome.
• How about a full size bathroom? I would only use orange as an accent, with a teal as your main color. Shades of blue are my "go to" color for the bathroom (if we have to use a blue-grey we can), because I always feel like a bathroom with a shower/tub should be soothing.
• Funeral home: So not, unless we were doing a sky on the ceiling and incorporated small areas of orange.
• Stately bedroom: only if the stately room had a lot of "stately wood" to counter-balance!
• Coffee house: that would be cool, but you'd need to balance the orange out with a lot of brown.
• Home entry: definitely, if it's a Tuscan style house in a coral shade.
• Candy store: Great idea! Orange can make you hungry, so it is a wonderful idea in a candy store, with black, which will intensify the orange.
• Ceilings: I always use orange when I'm painting skies on ceiling for the drama it brings. Usually just a touch, so as not to take away the soothing effect of the blue sky. But it will just give it a little kick around the edge of the room with some yellow.

If you're anything like us, you run on coffee.
Getting that first dose of caffeine in the morning can be just what you need to get yourself in gear and launch into a hefty workload at full pelt.
If you drink that much coffee, you tend to become a bit of a connoisseur and you develop a real sensitivity to the bad stuff. When that happens, your average café chain just isn't gonna cut it anymore.
Thankfully, Dublin food and drink culture is exploding right now and there's no shortage of high quality coffee houses where you can pick up a rich cup of joe on your route to work every day. Wherever you live, you should be able to find one of these epic spots near you.
Kaph — Drury Street
Dublin cafés don't come much cooler than this.
This independent coffeehouse is notable for its understated decor, fantastic playlist and coffee that'd wring a nod of approval from even the most snobbish of customers.
It's also a great place to work remotely while nibbling on a delicious cake.
La Petit Café — Kildare Street
They really aren't kidding with the name because this place is positively tiny, but it's all the more charming for that.
The snug little establishment offers an array of delish hot beverages and sandwiches, with a huge front window that's pointed directly at the Dáil, making it one of the most interesting people-watching spots in the city.
Just order yourself some hot coffee, grab one of the newspapers and watch the world roll by.
Network — Aungier Street
If you like to frequent cafés with a hefty dose of style, this is the one for you.
With Network's baristas turning your morning coffee into a masterpiece of latte art and boasting an attractive industrial aesthetic, you'd be forgiven for thinking you're in a gallery and not a coffeehouse.
It's also dog-friendly, so that makes it even more appealing in our eyes.
Urbanity — Smithfield Square
If you find yourself in Smithfield, there's no better place to work remotely. Especially since they make no secret of the wifi password, what with it being scrawled in huge letters on the wall, and there are power sockets at every table.
Not that it's just a convenient place to work from. The small-batch roaster and speciality café was started by three friends with a passion for food who try to make as much of what they sell as possible, such as almond butter, granola, relishes and sweet treats.
If you develop a taste for their coffee you can even pick up a bag of ground beans to make at home.
Five Points — Harold's Cross
If you've time to have a bite to eat with your morning caffeine hit, this is where you're going.
There may not be a huge selection here, with only three dishes on their breakfast and lunch menus, but you still won't have any problem finding something that will tickle your fancy.
Just try their wild garlic scrambled eggs with sourdough — you can thank us later.
Two Boys Brew — North Circular Road
This is kind of place you'd expect to find in San Francisco, not so much in Phibsboro.
The café is one long and bright room, with tables dotted around and a long communal bench. They try to keep their coffee exciting by hosting a new guest roaster every week.
There's a great buzz, cool music and their eggs are to die for.
Love Supreme — Stoneybatter & Portobello
This Stoneybatter (and now Portobello) spot gets a lot of attention for its distinctive look, what with its bright white exterior and exposed brick interior, but that's only part of is appeal.
Their rich coffee comes exclusively from Roasted Brown, which is just what you need to wash down their sumptuous cakes, cookies, pies and, our personal favourite, flaky sausage rolls.
Make it your mission to pay them a visit.
Laine, my love — Talbot Street
This brilliantly named café is hidden away under railway tracks, but it's worth your while to go seek it out.
Located close to Connolly Station, the coffeehouse is a little oasis of calm amid the scurrying masses moving along the street.
These guys dispense high quality sandwiches, cakes and coffee for all weary Dubliners who stumble upon them.
The Orange Tree Bakery — Lower Rathmines Road
If there's one thing better than the smell of freshly made coffee of the morning, it's gotta be freshly baked treats.
At the OTB, you can start your day with an espresso, a chocolate eclair or one of the finest brownies in town.
For those mornings where you really need to treat yourself.
Coffee Angel – Trinity Street, Leinster Street South, Pembroke Street Lower, South Anne Street, Custom House Quay, Spencer Dock
This may be a chain, but it's a chain we can get behind.
You can find Coffee Angel in several locations around Dublin yet they all somehow retain that feeling of being one of a kind in their ability to maintain the high standards set by the original.
Is there any better place to start your day? You'll just have to try it and see…

Had the absolute pleasure of being asked to volunteer at the hay festival of literature last weekend, with RSPB Cymru.
I had been for the day to hay the previous year, but this year I would be staying up there and working three days.
I was doing the black grouse whiskey raffle and selling RSPB pin badges for two days and then doing pond dipping, making bug hotels and mini beasts hunting with kids for one day.
The b&b I was staying in was super quaint and just run by one old dear, she cooked a mean veggie breakko too.
There was an awesome print of a goshawk in the breakfast room so I knew I would feel at home.
Hay itself is genuinely one of the most beautiful towns I have ever visited, lush river, a cool castle, loads of book shops and curio shops, and all surrounded by stunning scenery.
I was excited to try and walk a bit at least of the offa's dyke footpath, the ancient border between Wales and England.
The festival itself although what's actually on is all a but highbrow for my working class taste, the way it's setup is amazing. It's like a little festival village, all under cover with walkways and art, food, cafes, bars and exhibition spaces so cleverly done.
There is always something interesting going on and always a bit of celeb spotting to be done. This year I saw Leanne wood, Sarah Lancaster, mark Watson and Vanessa feltz all pass the stand.
I got out for a few little walks in the evening along the river on the offa's dyke path and had a really memorable evening sat with a bottle of wine watching 20-30 bats catching bugs by the river.
I also got to buy the new book by my fave author Neil gaiman, I'm a bit gutted I can't get to his talk this coming weekend up there though.
I will definitely be heading back to hay soon for a weekend when the festival isn't on for a good explore.
After the three days we had raised £1000 for the charity and signed up over 50 new members pretty awesome. Home feeling tired, but well being fully restored.

Being a Journal of views, prejudices,ideas and photographs of wargaming not just nationwide, but hopefully world wide.The name IWG was adopted in the early 1980's in response to the then dominant Wargames Research Group, but things have moved on,and wargaming appears to be in somewhat of a Golden Age, so sit back and hopefully enjoy my rantings.

Thanks Colin, a great great trip.
It sounds like an amazing experience and the rip of a lifetime.ReplyDelete
Best Regards,
As a child of the 1970's I always wanted to visit Vietnam.It was quite surreal driving through Danang and seeing the rows of abandoned armoured American vehicles lined up to photograph.Delete
Welcome home, more pix please.ReplyDeleteReplies
Ive yet to download them Jim. Plus I had a wonderful afternoon with a Vietmanese guide whose father was a Major in the SVA and fought on for a further two years after the fall of Saigon with a group of 90 US advisors who were left behind.Sadly his father was sentenced to 8 years in a NVA 're education' camp after the final surrender. He never recovered from the experience.Delete
Good to hear you've had a great trip. Just as long as you're not planning to ditch all those horses and muskets for airborne cavalry and M16's.ReplyDeleteReplies
Not my forte Paul, I was always confused by the use of mm's and inches.Delete
Glad you enjoyed your break! The new Pulp Figures Vietnam War figures are very nice you know...😉ReplyDeleteReplies
I dont doubt it David, but they would be wasted on me.Delete
Robbie-I'm going to Corfu in June!ReplyDelete
Glad you had a good time Robbie. We went to Vietnam last August and really liked the place, particularly the smaller centres like Hue and Hoi An. I found the people gracious and very passionate about prompting their country.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hoi An was wonderful, I think I went at the right time given the amount of Chinese investment in Da Nang and Halong Bay. In twenty years the place will be a nightmare sadly.Delete
About 5 years ago we had arguably one of the best family holidays ever to Vietnam. A fascinating country, lovely people and fab food. The girls came back laden with hooky goods and me with some v good and cheap hand made suits. Daughter No 1 was in Cambodia last year and loved it and it is definitely on our list.ReplyDelete
Get there soon Guy, one can see that Vietnam is being pumped full of Chinese money. Re hookey gear, Barbour, Northface and several adventure clothing companies have clearly bought into the area, so one can buy genine clothing at stupid prices. Sadly no wargaming figures though.Delete
While you were there did you see the shops selling amazing model ships. Some were huge but others could easily be utilised for our games. When I mentioned this option to Lindsay there was an emphatic veto and sense of humour failure.ReplyDelete
I did see the ships, they were made famous by Top Gear in Vietnam. You would need a very large wargames table to do them proud though. I was tempted by the Bell Huey copter although I think the Viet army wouldnt have been amused.Delete
Thanks a lot for share this one.

How many people waiting on figures from One????
Well, after waiting over x months for two figures (old 78 and H281), One promised me over and over that he was going to come through for me. He always thanked me for being patient. Finally, on July 15th, he said they were mailing the next day. Over one month later and still nothing. No answers to email, pm, or text message for ever a month. So, today I went over the the deshow freaks forum and went to his profile and I see that he was on the te last night. He can browse forums, but not answer customers. Something fishy is going on and I'm starting to doubt I will ever get the figures. I've put off posting this for a while now but decided to cut my loses and get it off my chest! If you are out there One, talk to us!
Wednesday 8/31/2011 at 11:33 PM | 81949
Something is very fishy. Same story here. We ordered a Myers, said it was in the mail, then One disappeared. We been trying to find out what's been going on, but have nothing to offer at this time. Still our battle continues. We'll try to keep everyone posted.
Thursday 9/01/2011 at 03:45 AM | 81984
WeLl, just heard through the grapevine that One is in jail and there's no telling for how long.
If so, that doesn't explain how he was logged into deshow freaks on the 30th of August.
Something is not right.
Thursday 9/01/2011 at 10:11 AM | 82010
It may be a family member or his gnificant other who knows his password checking things out for him while he's gone.
Thursday 9/01/2011 at 01:02 PM | 82015
Well, 0ne's wife contacted me!
She said he will clear up everything on his own soon.
He is indisposed.She is attempting to clear up everything on her own.
She assured me that he is a good person who trusted the wrong person. Hope for the best!
Just needed to get this out here to see if anyone else was in the dark.
Thursday 9/01/2011 at 04:16 PM | 82019
Iv been waiting on a figure from One for over 7 months now, he finaly texted me around 2 weeks ago and said it was shipped and he would send me some pics...he never sent the pics, but i sure hope he shipped it, i wonder whats going on with One! were you at bro
Friday 9/02/2011 at 12:15 PM | 82076
Same story here. Been waiting for my figure from one, for about a year now . He has responded to my emails and questions , when he can. I then contacted him about buying one of his 84' freddy sculps. He then got back to me saying he was so sorry for the delay and would throw in the freddy sculp, for free, for my patience.
I totally belive he is genuine, even after all this time. He tries to be fair and help out the horror community. Its just unfortuante for him and us that he has landed himself in jail (if its true anyways).
If you read this one, hope u get out soon and back to customing. Your the no1 customiser IMO and should do what you love. Just to let people who read this know, i have not payed one for the customs i am awaiting. I have contaced one many times, saying if he requires payment all he has to do is say. He has responded on a few occaons saying payment is not neccassry, he is happy to t it to me for my patience (freddy sculp i contacted him about many months after the order for my orignal order). So to those who read my post thinking "hes a scammer" are incorrect. He is not a scammer, he is not willing to take my payment. I just think he has got himself involved in something he probably shouldnt have, hope to see you back online soon One. And hope to own the great customs i have ordered from you one day.

I have known One for years online only, and we even promoted each others stuff and talked on the blog all night. He may have took on more orders than he could handle as I said, unless he really is in jail for something and can't reply.

Mirage Daily Tank (vitasea version) and Pow Pink Wunder Under Crops
I really love this print but I'd like it in a Cool Racerback and not the Daily Tank. I like the Daily Tank fine but I'm more likely to use the CRB for crossfit and running. Actually, now that I know the Daily Tank is a vitasea cotton version I may get that after all since I know the CRB version will be high polyester (we see though, Vitasea would be great but Vitasea Light is too see thru for me). I really love that the bottom of the print is a detailed line drawing (floral?) and then it's smeared into an abstract.

Imperial Light Land-Cruiser
During the time immediately surrounding the battle of Endor, the Empire
began a small and short-lived revitalization of treaded vehicles. Rather
than using repulsors these Land-Crusiers sued old fahsioned tnak tread.
However the reasons for this were logistical. Treaded vehicles can handle
uneven terrain better in many cases for one thing. Also hevay cannon
recoil would cause a repulsor vehicle to rock backwards. Finaly, there
are 'dead reckoning' sensors in each tread. These sensors monitor and
record, with a high degree of accuracy, the distance aand direction the
craft moves. This way, even if typical navigation systems fail, the pilot
will still know where the craft is and where it's heading. This is fed
into a Global Positioning Computer, and a Terrain Sensor that picks up and
digitizes landmarks. These systems work independantly with low power
sensors to determine the craft's surroundings and heading. the 'dead
reckoning' supplements this and serves as a backup should these sensors be
interfered with. The Land-Cruisers typicaly have a Pilot, a Navigator, A
Communciations office, and a captain, as well as any gunenrs that may be
on board. The bridge of the cruisers is a small circular area ringed with
instrument pannels and montiors that feed information to the crew, with a
captain's chair positioned at the center, able to rotate to look at any
station. The Land-Cruisers saw the msot ammount of action during the hasty
retreats the Empire was forced to make. These craft showed up time and
again to supplement withdrawl forces to cover a retreat while under attack
from the New Republic.
The Light Land-Crusier was just a basic small assault craft with a fairly
highspeed and agile turning and manuvering. It's only armament is it's heavy
cannon, capable of breaching duracrete walls with ease. The Light LC is
typicaly crewed only by three people, exlcuidng the need for a 'captain', as
most Light LC's are just directed by Medium or Heavy LC's. The light LC is
fairly small for such a potent attack craft, and were produced in larger
numbers than any other kind. The body of the Light LC is a flattened ellipsoid
with the treads run right down the centerlines. The main cannon comes right
out front from the top half, and a hatch sits on the top center of the craft.

Milano woman arrested for exploitation, injury of baby
Service Directory
A Milano woman is in the Milam County Jail accused of injury of a child with serious bodily injury and exploitation of a child.
The Milam County Sheriff's Department filed two felony charges against Katelyn Christina Carnline, 28, of Milano for First Degree Felony, Injury to a Child with Serious Bodily Injury and Third Degree Felony, Exploitation of Child, after an initial investigation by Child Protective Services regarding a seven-month-old infant.
According to District Attorney Bill Torrey, the investigation determined that Carnline started an online web page to raise funds for her alleged critically ill child purportedly suffering from a "rare genetic disorder." The child, placed with other family members by CPS, is now healthy and thriving.
Torrey's office said that Carnline lied to medical personnel about the young child's medical condition and withheld proper nutrition from the child leading to a decline in the child's health as well as subjecting the child to unnecessary medical procedures in an attempt to raise money.
Prior to the Milam County Sheriff's Department investigation, an extensive investigation by CPS and the Brazos County Sheriff's Department led to Brazos County charges for an online web page involving an older child of Carnline, in which she made false statements regarding the child having cancer.
Judge Sam Berry, Precinct 2, set both bonds at "no bond" for this defendant.

The most recent research uncovered by an American scientist that peanut butter is not really only wealthy in vitamin A, vitamin E, protein and trace factors, but also includes a substantial amount of single unsaturated fatty acids, which might lower body?ˉs cholesterol amounts as well as the danger of heart disorder. Moreover, a Harvard University review proved that ladies who frequently eat peanut butter and nuts, less more likely to build diabetes. Furthermore, since the peanut butter is nutritious, very good taste, handy consumption for distinctive gender and age groups, its products favored by customers, the market prospect is broad.
The peanut butter processing line made is according to marketplace demand and controlled by electricity. independent of thoroughly automated peanut butter line method ought to be like this: raw materials-pick stone-shelling, baking-cooling-picking-grinding-mixing-cooling-degassing-filling. This device can make a variety of peanut butter, as an example steady peanut butter, creamy peanut butter, salty peanut butter, sweet peanut butter together with other peanut butter. We are capable to produce peanut butter line with distinct capacity in accordance with customers' wants and necessities.

New Year New Me?
December 13, 2017
Filed under Opinion
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Every time the holiday season approaches, we hear the popular saying "New Year, new me." But when will the talk become reality? New Year resolutions are sometimes forgotten about as soon as February hits. Resolutions can be either long term or the infamous short term. Some resolutions can be simple like, "I'm going to start taking my dog for walks more often" or more complex or detailed like, "I want to lose 60 pounds by the first week of March." No matter what, a resolution is a resolution.
In the year of 2017, I can't speak for everyone, but I know I have made a lot of mistakes and have learned from them. Hopefully, as I come into 2018, I will no longer make the same mistakes. I wish to make and uphold a resolution to do great in all aspects of my life; therefore – academically, financially, spiritually, etc – I wish you all hold up to your resolutions and strive to do great in life.

My living room is serene, cozy and textural, but it needs a dose of warm fall color to really help me settle into the season. I can't think of an easier, quicker way to accomplish this, than by adding a few new pillows to the mix. If I have the time, I might just sew up some simple covers, otherwise I'll just buy a couple. Here are some possibilities.
Pillows are from World Market and West Elm. Fabric found on Fabric.com.

You know all the basics about Cirrus Logic's
- Revenue jumped 46% year-over-year to $91.4 million.
- Non-GAAP earnings stopped at $0.22 per diluted share, up from $0.16 per share a year ago.
- The midpoint of Cirrus' first-quarter guidance points to revenue of about $91 million, a weaker gross margin than the fourth quarter's, and slightly higher operating expenses.
All of this, except the forward guidance, has been known since Cirrus pre-announced its results a couple of weeks ago. So what else is new and material in the full report and earnings call?
The disaster in Japan had no measurable effect on this quarter but is a major driver behind the meek first-quarter guidance. Cirrus ships audio chips and power management solutions to several car builders, which are reducing their build volumes for a while. Woes from the disaster don't just affect Japanese companies like Nissan, Toyota
, and Honda (NYSE: TM) either; as CEO Jason Rhode puts it, "Everybody in that space has got suppliers all over the world, and all it takes is a windshield wiper blade you can't finish out." (NYSE: HMC)
- Two or three years from now, Cirrus hopes to augment its audio-chip success with power controllers for the burgeoning LED lighting market. The first chips for this market just got back from the lab and will start producing modest revenues next year; by 2014 or so, there should be plenty of business up for grabs.
- A shaky balance sheet often begets bad results down the road. With more than $200 million of debt-free cash equivalents on hand, that's hardly an issue for Cirrus. Rising inventories and accounts receivable can be another warning flag: Inventories rose less than 1% from the third quarter, and receivables jumped 5%. That's something to keep an eye on, as these line items grew while sales dipped in a typical after-holiday seasonal pattern.
So there you have it: one explanation for a soft outlook, one exciting business opportunity, and one potential trouble spot that you might have missed on first blush.

Well, not really raining raining, just a little light drizzle now and again. I believe the natives call it Florida liquid sunshine.
So..........we're done. We left our damp hotel room early and headed off for the final day's ride. A short one as we hoped to get in in time for lunch. Fortunately the heavy rain from the day before has left and the remnants are just light sprinkles now and then. This seems like a ridiculously short day - yet it seems to never end. Can that make any sense? We finally pass Miami and near the end of the turnpike I realize I haven't seen Charles for over 15 minutes. He sometimes lags back a little but never for more than 5 or 10 minutes at most. The end of the freeway where it becomes route #1 has a stoplight so I decide that instead of just going slower I will pull over and wait. I'm in the inside lane of three, about 3 vehicles back with others in the other two lanes. Lots of traffic. All of a sudden as the light turns green I see Charles go buy in a hurry. (?) Oh Oh - this is a problem as he hasn't seen me and is hurrying to catch up to me and he's not going backwards so it "ain't gonna happen". I try to make 99 go as fast as her ailing engine will take us but I can only get to within two car of Charles. I anticipate doing some illegal tactics to jump the two cars but it is a single lane each way now through a detour and wouldn't you know there are 3 cops within about a mile. I know that a discussion of my performance driving tactics with Florida's finest would only slow me down even more so I bide my time. I ride to either side of the lane hoping he will spot the very unusual headlights of 99. No luck as he is concentrating on trying to see me up ahead. Soon a passing lane opens up and like a shot from a cannon the big 1000cc of German engineering just dwindles in the distance. 99 tries but not even a slight chance to catch that bike especially with a rider with Charles' experience in a hurry. I said an impolite word! Also some probably anatomically impossible suggestions at the situation. I also could understand how Charles must feel. Heh, heh, he's going to think 99 and I have been holding out on him and that we've had a turbocharger hidden away all this time. I don't know whether to be upset or to fall over laughing - I do a little of both. After all this distance without ever losing one another we screw up the last road and it is also a dead end. Go figure. I should have never put myself in the right lane in heavy traffic and Charles should have seen me ... sure he could have x-ray vision through the trucks etc. - doh! I put it down to final day jitters. After I realized that my pursuit was hopeless I did what we had decided to do in such a situation. I called Lynn and advised her of what was up and hoped that Charles would also phone her and find out he was chasing a tail wind so to speak. No such luck so I had a solitary ride for the trip out to the end of the road. It was actually quite pretty and the sun on the blue of the water with the white beaches etc. etc. and all that beautiful Florida Keys stuff was a joy. I couldn't believe what had transpired and where we had been since 99 and I travelled this road the last time. Literally to the other end of the North American Continent. Naaah ...can't be. Prudoe Bay must be on another planet it is so different from this warm sunny place where the water is actually liquid and sweat doesn't freeze when you take off your jacket. You don't even have to plug in your clothing anymore - what a novel idea. During all of this screwing about I did another amazingly dumb thing. No comments please!! I realized just about a mile from the Key West bridge that I hadn't refilled the main gas tank from the fuel cell. I look at the trip meter and it read 211 miles from the last gas stop - oh shit! I spastically reach behind to turn on the flow from the fuel cell and just at that moment 99 died a sudden death from starvation. More oh shit! Of course there is traffic etc and no where to pull off as I'm in the outside lane. Of course it takes a few minutes to get gas enough to feed the fuel injector and of course I'm having no patience so manage to try to ride it too soon and manage to stall it twice. I said another impolite word. Finally after 99 was fed we proceeded on our way across the bridge to Key West. A quick right turn and only about a mile to go. Damn - WE DID IT! I could push her from here. And there is the gas station we started from. And there is Lynn and Terri holding up signs saying "BOB - CHARLES STOP YOU ARE HERE" in red in the shape of a stop sign. Another saying "Congratulations on a job well done" Charles is already at the pumps and I pull in for that all important receipt. Card swipe, a teacup of gas (just enough to get a receipt) and wait for that all important piece of paper. I wait. No paper. Read the screen. "please see cashier for receipt" I say another impolite word, this seems to be becoming a habit. Can't wait any longer so I succumb to a hug and kiss from Lynn. Sure feels good..........now \i was supposed to do something important. What was it? Oh yeah the damn receipt - the clock is still ticking. I run in to ask for a receipt for pump 3 and of all things the cashier is talkative. "Are you the guy they've been waiting for. Did you really go all the way to Alaska on that little bike? I silently said another impolite word (definitely have to curb this habit) and asked politely if I could PLEASE have the receipt as I needed to stop the clock. Oh damn - now she is confused. I finally get that all important piece of paper and the clock stops for the first time in oh how many days since it started ruling my life at this very same station at the start of all this foolishness. We parade to our hotel and sure enough they've splurged and we are staying at The Southernmost Hotel which is a mansion built in the 1800s and is located right beside the southernmost point marker. Not only that but Lynn managed to get the cabana room which is the southernmost hotel room. We are right on the ocean's edge and are actually south of the marker. How neat is that. I forget all the impolite words. 99 and the Old Girl have done the almost impossible. They have been both pushed far far beyond what a 30 year old bike with now over 500,000km on it and a tiny little puddle jumper of a bike that was designed as a kid's toy. I have a tear in my eye as I give 99 a kiss on her dirty nose. Well - I did give it a little wipe first. Ed recorded that little event with his camera. The sad thing is that 99 is probably a terminal case. Actually the poor thing is as close to trash as it is possible for a year and two months old bike to be. The only thing that seems to be only slightly affected is the engine and it is not real good but perhaps another valve adjustment would help. There is way too much to attempt repairs. Most of the body panels are now loose due to the tabs and fittings vibrating themselves to dust. Breaks, lights, transmission sounds like scraping fingernails on a blackboard, headset bearings trash, sprockets trash, etc. etc. etc. After all the poor thing has been near or at or well over redline for over 24 days. Not to mention last summer's little jaunt across the continent at a record time. How it could do that and not self destruct is an amazing feat to me. Not only that, but also over one of the most destructive roads on earth (for a street bike), the Dalton Highway. Honda builds one hell of a bike! She gave her all.......and it was enough. Barely.
I'll wrap this up with comments and reflections shortly. Also 99 tells me she also has a story to tell. Oh, I hope she didn't pick up any impolite words. We'll see. I'll send this for now and add in some photos tonight.
to be continued...

Shrinking Whitney
I mean, I know Whitney is tall and always had slim legs, but it looks like she's lost a ton of weight doesn't it?
In other news, the new trailer for The City is rockin it.
I am soo excited for this series.
I'm over feeling sorry for LC and watching her get overly defensive about everything.
And I can't watch scenes with Speidi anymore without getting immediately pissed off.
This ship has sailed.

MORELOS, an inland state of Mexico on the southern slope of the great Mexican plateau, lying S. of the Federal District, with the states of Puebla on the E. and S.E., Guerrero on the S., and Mexico on the W., N. and N.E. Pop. (19oo), 161,697, including a large percentage of Indians and mixed bloods. Area, 2773 sq. m. Its surface is roughly broken by mountain ranges extending southward from the Sierra de Ajusco, forming numerous valleys opening southward. It is drained by the Amacusac river, a northern tributary of the Mescala, or Balsas. There is a wide variation of climate for so small a territory, the higher elevations of the Sierra de Ajusco being cold and humid (the Mexican Central crosses the range at an elevation of 9974 ft.); the lower spurs mild, temperate and healthy, the lower valleys subtropical, hot and unhealthy. The rainfall is light in the lower regions and irrigation is generally employed. Notwithstanding its mountainous character, Morelos is one of the most flourishing agricultural states of Mexico, producing sugar, rice, Indian corn, coffee, wheat, fruit and vegetables. Although the state is supposed to have several of the minerals found in this part of Mexico (silver, cinnabar, iron, lead, gold, petroleum and coal), its mining industries continue undeveloped and neglected. San Antonio, a suburb of Cuernavaca, is noted for its pottery, which is highly attractive in form and colour, and finds a ready market among the visitors to that city. Morelos is traversed by two railway lines—the Interoceanic from N.E. to S.W., and the Mexican Central almost N. and S., the latter affording direct communication between the national and state capitals. The capital, CUERNAVACA (pop. 9584 in 1900), 47 M. S. of the city of Mexico on the Mexican Central railway, is one of the most picturesque towns in Mexico. It dates from the time of Cortes, who built for himself a residence there, and had the town included in the royal grant to himself in 1529. Maximilian had a villa there, and many of the public men of Mexico, natives of the lowlands, have made their homes there rather than in the national capital. The palace of Cortes is now occupied by the state legislature and by various public offices, and Maximilian's villa by a school. After the capital the largest city in the state is Cuautla Morelos, or Ciudad Morelos (pop. 6269 in 1900), 27 M. east by south of Cuernavaca, on the Interoceanic railway, and in a rich sugar-producing district. Some of the largest and most modern sugar-mills of Mexico are in the Cuautla district. There are hot sulphur springs here. The town is celebrated in Mexican history for the intrepid defence of the place by Jose Maria Morelos (1765-1815), the patriot leader, against a greatly superior royalist force, from the 19th of February to the 2nd of May 1812, when he cut his way through the attacking army and escaped. Other important towns are Yautepec (6139 in 1900), 16 m. east of Cuernavaca, on the Interoceanic line; Tetecala, 13 M. south-west of the capital, a characteristic Indian town near the pyramid of Xochicalco, and Jojutla, 21 M. south of the capital, on the Interoceanic railway near the southern boundary of the state. An interesting local phenomenon is that of lake Tequesquiten, which was formed by the subsidence of a large area of ground about the middle of the 19th century, carrying with it an old town of the same name. The hollow filled with water, and the spire of the old church is still to be seen in the middle of the lake.End of Article: MORELOS

A Kansas City, Missouri, woman was concerned when she saw five community cats, a mother and her kittens, living outdoors near her home. She reached out to Cindy Weber, a Kansas-based member of Alley Cat Allies' Feral Friends Network, for help.
Weber explained that community cats can live happy, healthy lives outdoors, especially with the help of Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR). Weber guided the woman through the TNR process and has showed her how to care for community cats.
"Now she's seeing how happy they are outside," Weber says.
Weber joined our Feral Friends Network in November 2017 because she is passionate about saving cats' lives and wanted to expand her reach.
"There really aren't a lot of resources in the Kansas City area, but there are people who want to help but don't know what to do," she says. "If I could help other people in the community learn how to take care of cats, we can help save lives."
In the relatively short time she's been part of the network, she's already made a difference in the lives of community cats and those who are new to caring for them. For example, she became friends with the Missouri woman she helped, a meaningful relationship because that woman only recently moved to the United States. Developing relationships is another benefit of being part of the Feral Friends Network, says Weber.
"It's fun getting to know other people who want to help outdoor kitties," she says.
As a Feral Friend, she's helped people in various ways, whether it's showing them how to care for community cats, guiding them through the TNR process, or transporting cats to spay and neuter appointments.
"Hopefully I've helped them better understand community cat living and how they can help," she says.
In one case, a woman was feeding cats at a trailer park and knew one kitten was friendly enough to be adopted. Weber loaned the woman her traps and told the woman how to do TNR—and then actually adopted the kitten herself.
Weber, a longtime supporter of Alley Cat Allies, had indoor cats of her own when she noticed an eartipped cat in a vacant home in her neighborhood in 2013. Weber started feeding the cat and has being caring for "Kitty Girl" ever since.
She also carried out TNR for the first time that same year, after she found out a mother cat and her kittens were living on the property of the domestic violence shelter where she volunteers. Since then, Weber has cared for and helped others care for community cats, and now, as part of the Feral Friends Network, she looks forward to continuing that lifesaving work and "educating animal lovers about how to best care for their community cats," she says.
Weber says she is thankful that the Feral Friends Network exists to connect people who want to make a difference in cats' lives.
"It's what's really meaningful to me," she says. "I work in human resources, but this is saving lives."

Research and experimental development of an automatic generation system of information systems based on Open Source technology from behavioral patterns
DISID has developed R&D Project of "Research and experimental developmen of an automatic generation system of information systems based on Open Source technology from behavioral patterns". This project has been financed by IVACE, The Valencian Institute of Business Competitiveness of Valencian Government, through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), inside Operational Programme (ERDF) of the Community of Valencia for the period 2014‐2020.
The aim of the project is to develop a software solution which will allow transform tailor-made information systems with propietary technologies to open source-based technological environments. The scope of the project is divided into 4 areas:
Reverse engineering of source system deploying with Oracle Developer Suite family of products.
Source system specifying to structured notation.
New automatic generation system of information.
Generated information system open source-based technologies.
Within the diversity of propietary systems we chose as a first goal of the project the information system developed with Oracle Developer Suite due to thehuge numbers of applications (millions of lines of code) that they are still in operation without a clear prospect for migrating to a new environments due to their high cost. These are complex and critical systems that save all companies core business.
As an open system to run generated information system we chose the JEE platform, nowadays the most widespread and standardised in the sector. Finally, gvNIX, the open source Java development environment recently chosen as standard for Java development of the Generalitat Valenciana, was chosen as the development platform where components and algorithms for automatic generation of applications will be implemented.
The main technical challenge of the project has been to cover the technology gap between systems by implementing set of reverse engineering processes which allow to analysis of the code, documentation and the behavior of the system which will be migrated to identify their components and dependencies with the aim of drawing a system abstraction that will serve as entry to set of code generation tools which allow to generate a new system semi-automatically with the same behavior of previous system but running with a different technology.
This project has been developed in two related research areas:
- Through techniques of process re-engineering and techniques of database re-engineering, automatic generation of "pattern system" able to abstract the operation and the structural components of a source information system developed with propietary technologies.
- On the basis of a "pattern system", automatic generation of a new functional information system and based on open source technologies.
Project reference IFIDTA/2014/87
- Objective 1. Definition of "pattern system",that is, set of specifications that allow to represent the components of an information system:
- Structure. Model of structural components of the information system.
- Behaviour. Model of dinamic components of the information system.
- User interface. Model of user's interaction interface.
- Objective 2. Diseño y desarrollo de componentes gvNIX para automatización de la generación de código del nuevo sistem
- Generation system on the basis of a "pattern system" which generate: the business layer, the control layer and the user's interface layer.
- The generated code is customizable by developer.
- The generated code only is using open source technologies.
- Objective 3. Pilot of system
Se ha realizado un piloto del sistema que ha permitido evaluar la fiabilidad y adecuación del sistema a los problemas presentes en situaciones reales. A pilot trial of the system has been performed which has enabled to evaluate the reliability and the adequacy of the system to the existing problems in a real situation.
- Objective 4. Dissemination and exposure of research work and development
The findings have been published to inform and promote the progress made in the project and to spread the outcomes of research activities.
The objective of the project was to develop a software solution that would allow the transformation of information systems developed with proprietary and non-compatible technologies to open-source software environments that could make use of market-based services that were advantageous, so that technically feasible and the return on investment is guaranteed.
To do this the "Add-on Scene" an OSGi component that fits perfectly into the environment Spring Roo and gvNIX, providing the new required functionality is created.
We are proud of the technological innovation of the project where the proposed solution has one of its strengths in transforming systems developed with proprietary technologies into systems developed with open source technologies. This new business line will open a new framework of collaboration between companies of the Valencian Community.
An important advantage for potential users of the solution, both economically and technically and functionally, can become active participants in development communities.
Currently the costs of such a migration are so high that they are comparable to re-developing the entire application. That is why many organizations do not even raise it.
This is why with this project DISID, in collaboration with Pentec, we have succeeded in semi-automate the migration process of this type of systems, reducing costs at a high level, opening a Market of thousands of systems migrations that are in this situation.
The project has been developed as Spring Roo "Add-on Scene" and as part of the features that the new version of gvNIX will offer.
The Valencian Institute of Business Competitiveness (IVACE) is a public entity of the Valencian government attached to the Regional Department of Economy, Industry, Tourism and Employment. The former Institute for Small and Medium Industry of the Generalitat Valenciana (IMPIVA) was renamed as IVACE accordingly to the Restructuring Measures and Rationalization of Public Business Sector and Foundation of Valencian Government (D/L 7/2012, published at DOCV n.6886, october 22 2012).
The objectives of the Institute are managing industrial policy of the Government and business support for innovation, entrepreneurship, internationalization and attracting investment and promoting technological clusters, industrial safety products and industrial facilities, metrology, vehicles and businesses and promoting savings, energy efficiency and renewable energy sources, as well as the management of the regional government's energy policy.
The ERDF objectives to strengthen economic and social cohesion in the European Union by correcting imbalances between its regions.
The ERDF focuses its investments on several key priority areas. This is known as 'thematic concentration': Innovation and research; the digital agenda; support for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs); the low-carbon economy.

"So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness."
Colossians 2:6-7 NIV
Dear Convergence Family,
As I've been reading through Colossians, these verses have really been encouraging me. When I think of being deeply rooted in Christ, I think of how roots need fertile soil. I recently watched a documentary that highlighted natural, organic farming. One phrase that struck me was, "conventional farmers farm the crop, organic farmers farm the soil." In other words, natural farmers spend time cultivating the quality of the soil instead of trying to genetically enhance the crop. There was a picture that illustrated the difference of root depth between conventional and organic farming. It wasn't even close! The roots of natural farming went three to four times deeper than that of conventional farming. Why is this so important? Becuase the depth of the root system correlates to the quality of the fruit. How do we become more deeply rooted in Christ? How do we bear quality fruit? I believe it has to do with the condition and posture of our heart: Am I open to hearing God's word? Am I teachable? Am I allowing His word to inform and ultimately form me?
The last part of the verse is challenging. It reminds me that as I grow deeper in Christ, I am to overflow with thankfulness. The realtiy, however, is that I don't always feel thankful. It's been said that this current generation of 20 and 30 somethings are the most entitled generation in history. We believe that we constantly deserve more and better. When we take in the Good News of Jesus Christ, however, we realize that everything is a gift and everything is grace because what we truly deserve apart from Christ is death. His life, death, and resurrection has been given to me as a gift that I might know of his unconditional love and receive eternal life in His Kingdom. He gave himself to us, He gave himself for us.
I want to encourage you to look at the world through the lens of the Gospel. I want to encourage you to see everything as a gift and everything as grace. May we be deeply rooted in Christ and overflowing with thankfulness.
Growing Deeper with You,
Pastor Bobby

|Happy children in Bali. Image: nationaldance.org
Children are more susceptible to disease than their parents. One reason is their lack of understanding of the child to preserve their own health. For example, a child still feels comfortable playing with friends or relatives who are sick. A child still likes to eat an ice cream or drink a cold beverage even though he/she is unwell. Therefore, as parents we have to be very clever to maintain the health of our own children that are susceptible to disease.
Maintaining the health of children is of particular concern to mothers, especially when the change of seasons is generally accompanied by a host of diseases. When seasons change occurs, the body adapts extra hard to face the weather changes from dry season to rainy season. From heat in the air, to suddenly became cold and damp. This condition, can cause discomfort, also makes the body more susceptible to disease. Generally the rainy season begins with an uneven transition. This causes some areas to remain hot and dusty.
Furthermore, the dust and dirt that remains in the region can easily be spread to other areas by wind, and a factor (carrier) of disease. Children, especially toddlers including those prone to diseases in the transition seasons. If allowed, they are likely to develop adverse health problems.
1. Fever
Fever is one of the health problems that are often suffered by children in the transition seasons. This could be because the new condition in this transition season children are battered with many germs (usually viruses). Fever is not a disease. But a symptom that is building the body's defense against infection. More precisely, a fever can be a symptom of various diseases. Fever can start mild to serious infections.
2. Digestive Diseases
In the transition from dry season to rainy season, cases of this disease are high because of all the dust and dirt that could potentially be a cause to the disease. The disease is also very closely related to food consumption patterns. Because the disease is usually caused by bacteria or viruses commonly contaminate food and beverage, whether it's home-made food or street food outside the home. Given the diet of children who tend to be arbitrary, the possibility of this disease becomes very large.
Gastrointestinal disease is usually preceded complaint diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. Symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea are usually accompanied by fever, and headache-inducing. Children may appear slimy stools and even bleed (if the cause is not an infection, symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea often accompanied by heartburn and even stool without mucus and blood).
So there are no unwanted things, first aid is usually given priority to stop the vomiting and diarrhea. And after a given treatment, within 3 days generally reduced complaints. If not, the child needs to get more serious treatment.
3. Respiratory Diseases
One disease children in the transition seasons that preceded fever is a disease of the respiratory system. Fever is a symptom of respiratory system disease is usually mild to moderate (37.4 to 39.4 degrees Celsius).
But in some cases of influenza in children, fever can reach 39.9 degrees Celsius. Early symptoms of respiratory tract disease may include cough, sometimes accompanied by shortness of breath. Could also be accompanied by cough runny nose, sneezing and increased body temperature. Symptoms can also appear special, which is not normal breathing.
Based on the location of the attack, the disease can be divided into two:
3.1. Upper respiratory tract disease.
Generally, a symptom of upper respiratory tract disease is lighter, such as a cold. Only in certain cases may appear serious symptoms, such as fever which is rather high (the inflammation of the throat) and toxemia or poisoning (in diphtheria).
3.2. Lower respiratory tract disease.
Disruption in this section can bring bronchopneumonia; pneumonia is derived from branches of throat infections, and brongchitis, which is a serious infection of the last branch of the respiratory tract adjacent lung tissue.
Tips and solutions to prevent and treat the kids to be healthy is to keep the food intake of children; adequate nutrition, according to age, weight and activity will boost your child's immune system so it is not susceptible to disease
Complete with multivitamins. These supplements contain a variety of essential vitamins (which cannot be made by the body). When given correctly - the composition and the dosage adjusted to the needs of the child - a multivitamin can help to increase endurance, so not susceptible to disease transition.
|Healthy children. Image: chiconsortium.org.uk
Make sure any food and drinks are eaten by children is guaranteed cleanliness. That is, in addition to more hygienic in processing and preparing food at home. Provide knowledge and understanding to children so they buy clean food and hygienic.
Kindly the attention to the parents:
For the sake health of the body and soul of the child-child, the parents in order that avoid smoked in around them. Cigarette smoke is very harmful to the lungs, respiratory and heart of your children. Similarly, your alcohol drinking habits in front of your children also is not good for their mental health. If you can smoke, then you will be healthier, so you can set aside more money for health and well-being of your family.
Remember also to buy a health insurance policy for your children, also bought the policy for you and also your spouse. Preventing disease and maintaining health as well as have a health insurance policy for you and your family a sign of love to yourself and family, now and in the future.
Vacations a tropical island like sightseeing and adventure in Bali will also support the physical and mental health of your children.

We had only one whole day in Kuala Lumpur (KL) and there were two must-visit items on our list: Sunway Lagoon and Petronas Towers.
Before we left Singapore, we already bought discounted tickets at Cebu Air Travel Agency for SGD35 per person. If you will buy tickets at Sunway Lagoon it will cost RM170 (SGD54) per person.
My friends and I would agree that this was the highlight of our day. We wanted to queue up for the slide again, but it rained in the afternoon and we were already pressed for time.
|Image Credit
After the show, we went to the surf beach. Coincidentally, while we were there, the wave started and we enjoyed riding through it.
By 4pm we decided to take a shower so that we can have early dinner and see the Petronas Towers. Sunway Lagoon is a 30-minute drive away from the city, so we took another Uber that brought us to Suria KLCC. We had dinner at Nando's, and decided to look around the mall. Just outside Suria KLCC is the Petronas Towers at its full glory.
PETRONAS TOWERSThe Petronas Towers was hailed as the world's tallest building from 1998 to 2004 before losing its title to Taipei 101. Nevertheless, seeing the Petronas Towers, especially at night, is very dreamy. How the lights reflect its steel body is really mesmerizing.
As we were very tired that day, we decided to book a massage at the mall near our AirBnb unit and called it a day.
The next day we woke up very early for our Singapore flight. We did not want to take chance and be left behind by the plane again.
It was a short yet very memorable stay in Malaysia indeed.
