VAN BUREN TOWNSHIP, Mich - Visteon Corporation (OTC: VSTN) today announced its third-quarter 2009 results, reporting a net loss of $38 million, or 29 cents per share, on total sales of $1.73 billion. For the third quarter of 2008, Visteon reported a net loss of $188 million, or $1.45 per share, on total sales of $2.12 billion. Adjusted EBITDA, as defined below, for third quarter 2009 was $125 million, compared with $5 million in third quarter 2008.
For the third straight quarter, Visteon's product sales, gross margin and adjusted EBITDA improved sequentially, reflecting continued benefits from restructuring and cost-saving actions along with increases in OEM vehicle production.
"Despite the difficult operating environment, our third-quarter results reflect the continued efforts of our employees to build a global framework for business success which is focused on serving our customers with innovative products and technologies," said Donald J. Stebbins, chairman and chief executive officer. "While we believe the global auto industry is recovering from historically low levels of production, there remain challenges as the industry stabilizes."
Third quarter product sales to Ford Motor Co. and Hyundai-Kia each accounted for 27 percent of total product sales. Renault-Nissan and PSA Peugeot Citroen accounted for about 10 percent and 6 percent of sales, respectively. On a regional basis, Asia accounted for about 36 percent of total product sales, with Europe representing 35 percent, North America 22 percent and the balance in South America.
Third Quarter 2009 Results
For third quarter 2009, total sales were $1.73 billion, including product sales of $1.67 billion and services revenue of $61 million. Product sales decreased by about $340 million, or 17 percent, year-over-year as the impact of foreign currency and divestitures and facility closures reduced sales by about $130 million and $90 million, respectively. Lower production, net of new business, further reduced sales by about $90 million. Aside from the Asian region where sales were largely unchanged from the prior year, Visteon experienced lower sales in all the other major regions in which it operates, reflecting decreased customer production volumes in response to weak global economic conditions.
Gross margin for third quarter 2009 was $116 million, or 6.7 percent of sales, an increase of $73 million compared with $43 million, or 2.0 percent of sales, for the same period a year ago. Favorable cost performance, reflecting ongoing operational efficiencies as well as recently implemented restructuring actions, and foreign currency more than offset the impact of lower production levels.
Selling, general and administrative expense for third quarter 2009 totaled $95 million, a decrease of $43 million, or 31 percent, compared with the same period a year ago, reflecting the benefit of significant headcount and other cost-reduction actions.
For third quarter 2009, the company reported a net loss of $38 million, or 29 cents per share. This compares with a net loss of $188 million, or $1.45 per share, in the same quarter a year ago. Restructuring and reorganization costs of $27 million and $23 million, respectively, were incurred during the quarter while reimbursement from customers totaled $4 million. Third-quarter 2008 results included $42 million of restructuring costs and $19 million of asset impairments and loss on divestiture, along with $39 million of escrow reimbursement.
Equity in net income of non-consolidated affiliates increased $21 million to $26 million in third quarter 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008, largely reflecting continued customer production increases in Asia Pacific. Income tax expense for third quarter 2009 was $18 million compared with $31 million in the same period a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA for third quarter 2009 was $125 million, compared with $5 million for third quarter 2008.
First Nine Months 2009
For the first nine months of 2009, total sales of $4.65 billion were lower by $3.2 billion, or 41 percent, compared with the same period a year earlier. For the first nine months of 2009, Visteon reported a net loss of $148 million, or $1.14 per share, compared with a net loss of $335 million, or $2.59 per share during the first nine months of 2008. Adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of 2009 was $220 million, compared with $359 million in the same period last year.
Cash Flow and Liquidity
As of September 30, 2009, Visteon had cash balances totaling $814 million, $72 million higher than June 30, 2009 levels.
Cash generated by operating activities totaled $84 million for third quarter 2009, a $244 million improvement over the cash use of $160 million during the same period a year ago. The improvement was attributable to lower net losses, as adjusted for non-cash items, and lower trade working capital outflows. Trade working capital in the third quarter 2009 reflected, among other items, the impact of pre-petition payables that have not been settled. Capital expenditures were $29 million for third quarter 2009, compared with $76 million in third quarter 2008, reflecting the company's continued management of program investment. Free cash flow, as defined below, was $55 million for third quarter 2009, or $291 million better than 2008, which was a use of $236 million.
New Business Wins
Visteon continues to win new business despite the difficult economic environment. During the first nine months of 2009, Visteon won more than $400 million in incremental new business. On a regional basis, Asia and North America each accounted for 41 percent of the total, with Europe accounting for the remaining 18 percent.
Visteon is a leading global automotive supplier that designs, engineers and manufactures innovative climate, interior, electronic and lighting products for vehicle manufacturers, and also provides a range of products and services to aftermarket customers. With corporate offices in Van Buren Township, Mich. (U.S.); Shanghai, China; and Chelmsford, UK; the company has facilities in 26 countries and employs approximately 30,000 people.

MELBOURNE, Australia – Coaching styles and methods are changing in every team sport, and that includes golf.
This sport is different because at the top level of the men's game golf is a team sport just once a year, at either the Presidents Cup or Ryder Cup. But every year, we always debate how much credit or blame to place upon the captains.
This week at the Presidents Cup at Royal Melbourne there is no question both International captain Ernie Els and American captain Tiger Woods are playing oversized roles. So much so that which team hoists the trophy on Sunday evening could well come down to the man in charge.
In Woods' case as a playing-captain he has found himself in an unlikely but difficult position. If the heavily favoured Americans had gotten off to the start everyone had expected, life would be easy for Woods. He could have sat out play Friday and donned his captain's hat to watch his team cruise to victory. But the surprise 4-1 start by the Internationals on Thursday, mixed with Woods being the lone star for the Americans on day one meant that the captain had become the team's anchor on the course. Through no fault of his own, this creates a muddy situation for his captaincy.
Both Els and Woods could easily be expected – and to some extent excused – if they had stumbled down the same path as many superstar players turned coaches in sports history. There are examples in every league of sporting demigods who can't understand why lesser athletes can't perform up to their impossible standards.
The last great example in golf came at the 2014 Ryder Cup at Gleneagles in Scotland. American captain Tom Watson came off as a coaching dinosaur who challenged his players at every turn compared to Europe's captain Paul McGinley who forged personal relationships with every player, managing each idiosyncrasy with a smile and a soft touch.
For the record, I admire Watson's old-fashioned sensibilities and find it somewhat troubling that many modern athletes have self-images too delicate to handle criticism. This is why I have found the leadership qualities of Els so fascinating this week at Royal Melbourne.
The International captain is nicknamed the Big Easy, but that is almost exclusively to do with the silky smooth swing coming from a mountain of a man, rather than his personality. Els dominates the room when he enters and has a reputation as a true sportsman, as the type of man you wouldn't want to challenge in a competition of basically any sort.
"Tough but fair, probably similar to the way he is as a player a little bit," Canadian Adam Hadwin said of Els' leadership style. "He's pretty hard on himself. He expects a lot out of you. But at the same time, you can ask him anything, you can approach him about anything. He's tough but he knows when to kind of give you a pat on the shoulder and when to give you a kick in the butt."
Hadwin sounds like he could be describing any number of old-school coaches from the past century. Which is why to watch Els slip his eyeglasses on, then without his pulse appearing to rise over 50, make his daily pairings selections against Woods based on information provided by an analytics firm is spellbinding.
"Look, I'm so impressed with the way Ernie has handled this thing," Australian Adam Scott said. "He's got it mapped out for us. We all know what our job is and what's going to happen … This thing has been planned out very well. The Big Easy has definitely kept us very calm this week."
The pairings worked so well on Thursday, when the Internationals jumped out to a 4-1 lead, that there were immediately some eyebrows raised when Els changed the teams for Friday's more demanding alternate-shot foursomes play.
"No, you know, we've gone this route (with analytics), and we keep going," Els said. "I mean, the guys played well today in their respective pairings, and tomorrow we've got whatever pairings we have. We'll feel comfortable with them. The guys have practiced this way, so we're going with that process."
Assistant captain Mike Weir confirmed this when he explained to Postmedia that the International leadership was very happy with the winning team of Hadwin and Sungjae Im on Thursday in four-ball play, but they were confident in changing it up and pairing Hadwin with 21-year-old Joaquin Niemann for Friday's alternate shot foursomes.
Throughout the week in Melbourne, Els has shown himself to be a flexible leader and proven that you can have a big personality, strong convictions, and ask the world from your players without making them feel inadequate. It's a lesson tough coaches in every sport could learn from the 50-year-old South African.
"He's put his heart and soul into this behind the scenes," Scott said. "Of course we are playing hard for the team. We are playing hard for Ernie. It would be really special if we could get a win in this Cup and turn this thing around with Ernie leading us."

1. Eat foods rich in Catalase: The build-up of hydrogen peroxide in your hair follicles is responsible for bleaching your hair inside out and turning it grey.
2. Use Onion Juice: Also rich in catalase, onion juice has been used for centuries as a topical treatment and as a home remedy for gray hair. In fact, long before hair dyes were invented, herbalists advised their patients to rub onions on their scalps to cure gray hair.
3. Indian Gooseberry or Amla: Also called Indian gooseberry, Amla is an effective natural treatment for a number of hair issues. Not only can the herbal supplement reverse graying hair, it can also prevent hair loss.
4. Black Tea: Black tea gives a melanin and keratin boost to your mane which restores the natural pigment of your hair. The herbal black tea is rich with tannins, which stops the production of the DHT hormone, known to cause hair loss. It covers up your grey hair and makes your hair soft and supple.
5. Coconut Oil: This is the most popular treatment for reversing grey hair naturally. The capric and caprylic acids found in coconut oil act like a mini army of antioxidants and disinfectants, while its low molecular weight allows for easy absorption into the hair.

Error in sex-assault case can't be excused
August 28, 2004
You shouldn't feel sorry for both the victims and the accused in a criminal court case.
Sadly, justice took a pounding recently in Weld County because of bungling by the district attorney's office. A Weld judge threw out the sexual assault case against David Gifford, 57, of Kersey because deputy district attorney Bob Frick failed to present any direct evidence during a preliminary hearing.
To cut through the legal jargon, this is like an umpire telling a baseball player he can't play because he didn't bring a bat to the game. It's an outrageous legal error.
That this mistake came in a high-profile case makes it all the more inexcusable. Gifford was charged with the four counts of sexual assault by a person in a position of trust in June, after a 16-month investigation by the Weld County Sheriff's Office.
This was no routine theft case that got lost in the system. This was a highly emotional and publicized case that affected four children ages 4-10 and their parents. Try explaining to them why they never will get their day in court.
The case also cost Gifford his seat on the Kersey Town Board and his good name. It closed his wife's day-care business. Through the district attorney's ineptness, Gifford won't get a chance to clear his name in court.

The district attorney's office should never have relied so heavily on an unprepared young attorney for such an important case. His mistakes reflect directly on the lack of supervision he received.
At preliminary hearings, prosecutors may present the bulk of their case as hearsay evidence, including testimony by sheriff's deputies about their investigation. But they also must produce at least some direct evidence — testimony by someone with direct knowledge of the case.
After Judge Daniel Maus threw out the case, District Attorney Al Dominguez said he had never heard of a judge doing this and said his office might appeal. It is normal practice to not ask children to testify during a preliminary hearing so they only testify once — during trial.
Nonetheless, prosecutors must put someone with direct knowledge of the case on the stand. For example, they might have had parents testify that, yes, these are their children involved in the case and, yes, they were interviewed by a deputy.
That would have been enough to send the case to trial.
Instead, the judge had no choice but to follow the law and dismiss the case.
After reviewing the decision, Dominguez conceded last week that the judge was right. He said he would ask the sheriff's office to resume the investigation in search of new evidence.
The case can be refiled if investigators find new evidence, but that's unlikely. Presumably, the sheriff's department gathered all the evidence it could during its 16-month investigation. The incidents occurred almost two years ago. Children's memories are difficult enough to rely on in such cases when they're fresh.
Thus, both the children and Gifford are left feeling victimized again. Not only was justice not served, it didn't even get into the game. That's inexcusable when you're playing with people's lives.

Veep, Season 5, Episode 3: "The Eagle"
Written by Steve Koren
Directed by Chris Addison
Airs Sundays at 10:30pm on HBO
A key test of how fleshed out a show's characters are is how well the story holds up when they're pulled apart. Are their personalities interesting enough to sustain themselves in isolation? Or do the characters only work when everyone is together? "The Eagle" succeeds because Veep's writers have crafted such well-drawn characters that half of them can be placed on the other side of the country without sacrificing any of the show's wit or bite.

For decades Terry Stringer has explored the transformation of abstract ideas into concrete forms, how the figure can occupy space, and the ways in which still forms express movement. His sculptures require the viewer to interact physically with them in order to experience them fully and the eye's focus shifts and slides over the forms as they elide into one another.
Referencing the conjoined figures of da Vinci's allegorical drawings, the dual-faced Allegory of Time inextricably links past and future. Despite their self referential gazes, each face flows from the other and the physical characteristics of Stringer's style emphasise this shape-shifting. That Certain Smile focuses on the face and hands, features which Stringer has explored throughout his practice. Large in scale, the sculpture retains an intimate relationship between each element. The two hands clasp as the view changes between them, this in turn suggesting a caress of the face. Each sculpture appears to be in a state of continual transition, the edges deliberately blurred so that each aspect morphs into another imperceptibly.
Many of Stringer's sculptures enclose space as well as displace it, establishing a tension between what is there and what is not. The sculptor creates subtle illusions of presence where none physically exist, a characteristic illustrated in A Collage of Features, which reveals a silhouetted profile as the viewer's perspective shifts back and forth. The lines of this work delineate on one hand the physical volume and mass of the sculptural object and on the other, they describe a form created from the absence of that same object. The dual roles performed by the lines of the bronze reference the duality that lies at the heart of the work: the silhouette is not wholly part of the sculpture, but cannot exist without it; presence and absence are expressed simultaneously.
As the viewer moves around a Terry Stringer sculpture, one form shifts into another and illusory shapes appear and disappear. Stringer presents the familiar in a manner that gives the viewer pause and this exhibition celebrates the ways in which he continues to reinvent the traditional forms of figure sculpting.

Just ahead of the second presidential debate, Billy Bush, co-host of NBC's Today, was suspended from the TV show after a 2005 recording released by the Washington Post on Friday revealed Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump making sexually aggressive comments about women and Bush egging him on.
One of the women Trump comments on—saying he tried to sleep with her despite the fact that she was married—was revealed to be Nancy O'Dell, Bush's then-co-host on Access Hollywood. Trump also bragged about kissing women, saying "when you're a star, they let you do it."
In an internal memo, Noah Oppenheim, the NBC executive in charge of Today, wrote that everyone had been "deeply troubled" by the events that unfolded. "Let me be clear—there is simply no excuse for Billy's language and behavior on that tape," he wrote, according to CNN Money. "NBC has decided to suspend Billy, pending further review of this matter."

As Money wrote, while Bush didn't make sexually aggressive comments similar to Trump's on the recorded tape, he played along with Republican, which is in itself problematic.
"Someone in that situation could express disapproval of the remarks or behavior when it happens, or express support for the target," Maya Raghu, director of workplace equality at the National Women's Law Center, told Money.

We've always made it our mission to listen to what our babes have to say, and with over 1,000 of you all taking part in our Keep on Being You survey, we found out what you felt about the new campaign and being confident. Read on for the results…
We asked our #babesofmissguided whether you felt comfortable in being yourselves, and over 78% of you said you did, which is amazing!
And for those who weren't feeling 100% confident, over 3/4 said that the Keep on Being You squad in our campaign, inspired you to be yourselves.
We asked you what makes you feel more confident, most of the responses said that it was important to not feel judged, achieve your goals and be given support from family and friends.
Out of the whole of the UK, the North East were the most comfortable, 8% more than the rest of the country!

So, we listened to what you had to say, and launch #Makeyourmark – to keep our babe mantra alive and ensure that you all feel f*cking amazing being yourselves!
Keep on Being You… it's a really great look!

Like anyone who's spent time in Paris, I'm particularly vehement when discussing the nuances of French pastries -- whether Ladurée or Pierre makes the superior macarons (Hermé), the right amount of flakiness for a buttery croissant, and the correct custard softness of a cannelé's interior.
The promise of some of the Peninsula's premier macarons brought me to the eight-year-old Pamplemousse Patisserie & Café, a few blocks removed from the heart of downtown Redwood City. You won't hear much French spoken by the office workers dining inside the café, but the chef/owner Kelli Manukyan is from Québec so you know the place will take its baking seriously.
Immediately the display of artistic desserts and rows of colorful medium-sized macarons dominates your attention. Quality wavered from decent to flawless (well, not exactly Pierre Hermé masterpieces, but it's important to be reasonable here).
A salted caramel macaron ($1.95 each) had a beautiful filling, but its cookie portion was hollow and bordered on stale. Fortunately, a cinnamon-heavy Mayan chocolate macaron clicked on all components, as a Mexican hot chocolate transformed into a meltingly soft meringue-and-buttercream treat. Paris would not complain. Pamplemousse has 35 flavors in total, though choosing is slightly easier on site since only ten or so are available at a time.
I would've liked a little more buttery flakiness to the pain au chocolat ($3.20), but I did like the more-than-Parisian amount of frosting-like dark chocolate, which led to several bouts of embarrassing finger licking.
The powerhouse desserts are the elegant works of art (most are $6.25) including a beautiful combination of caramel, apple, and cheesecake that trumps any caramel apple by miles. For the Nutella addicts out there, the Noisette (hazelnut) cake is tops. A chocolate chiffon cake base is topped with a milk chocolate and hazelnut mousse, then coated with a dark chocolate glaze, all crowned with actual hazelnuts. For the holidays, that Pamplemousse is an excellent choice to order a celebratory bûche de noel log.
It's hard to look past the sweets, but the superb ham and gruyere quiche and the panini-like sandwiches on baked in-house baguette or wheat ciabatta are just as impressive, especially the beet and goat cheese one that gives the tired duo exciting life again. The quiche would be the must-order, with a good sturdy crust, a custard that isn't too cheesy or watery, and then the flourish of larger-than-usual slices of salty Serrano ham.
These are French café-portioned sandwiches, as in just the right size to finish lunch with some dessert. That's a good thing at Pamplemousse because c'est impossible to skip a macaron or canelé.

PolarSys is an Eclipse Industry Working Group created by large industry players and by tools providers to collaborate on the creation and support of Open Source tools for the development of embedded systems.
Domains such as aerospace, defense and security, energy, health care, telecommunications, transportation must meet several requirements.
The Polarsys Working Group envisions an industry that will support the following pronciples:
- Open Innovation: Ensuring the highest levels of productivity, reliability, safety, service, and performance implies a continuous effort of research and development in software tools.
- Computer Assistance and Automation: The numerous and complex operations required to develop and maintain industrial systems imply a high level of automation based on software tools.
- Certification (e.g. DO178, ISO26262, ECSS 40, etc.): The development of safety-critical and embedded systems must comply with strict regulations impacting both the final product and the development process and tools used to build them.
- Very Long Term Support: The tool chain needs to remain operational for the life cycle of the products; many industries need more than 10 years, and some need up to 80 years.

City of Boca Raton Takes Action to Help Reduce Flood Insurance Rates for Property Owners
Floods are the nation's most common and costly natural disasters and the City of Boca Raton is taking acting to help reduce flood insurance rates for property owners. The City has enrolled in the National Flood Insurance Program's (NFIP) Community Rating System (CRS), a voluntary incentive program that recognizes and encourages community floodplain management activities to reduce the impact of flooding on private and public structures by providing affordable insurance.
"The City is participating NFIP and CRS programs to help save lives, prevent property damage and to reduce the cost of flood insurance," commented Keith Carney, Senior Officer-Floodplain Manager for the City. "We encourage all residents and business owners in our community to participate and have a better understanding of how to protect themselves and their properties from flood damage."
As part of the CRS program, a Public Information Committee was created to provide information about flood hazard awareness and to motivate actions to reduce flood damage, encourage flood insurance coverage and protect the natural functions of floodplains. The committee is composed of key staff members and key community stakeholders representing insurance, banking, property management and real estate professions.
The Public Information Committee will be accepting a proclamation from the Mayor proclaiming October as Flood Protection and Prevention Month at the upcoming October 9 City Council Workshop. As part of the ongoing effort to provide information and resources about flood prevention and protection, all Utility Services customers will be receiving a brochure in their paper bills, and the brochure will also be available at City Hall, Spanish River and Downtown libraries and the Building Administration office. For more information or to better understand the risk and options for reducing risk of flooding, visit the City of Boca Raton's Flood Management webpage.

Article: Twins Sign Belisle: What Does This Mean?

If they activate Mauer soon (he just started a rehab assignment for Rochester yesterday), this also means the only move they can really make is sending down LaMarre or Cave (barring another injury in the meantime). So gone is the CF platoon, and say hello to Robbie Grossman, exclusive 4th outfielder again.
That last sentence has given me a splitting headache!

As baffling as this move seems, there is only one thing that the return of Belisle could mean: the second coming of Bartolo Colon to the Twin Cities!
Posted 14 June 2018 - 11:12 AM
I really don't have that strong of an option on whether...or how realistic it might be...that Belisle is in a position to help more than Duffey or Busenitz over the next month.Although, I think it more likely that Molitor is simply more likely to actually USE Belisle than he would the other two.So, I guess that would be the good part of this...if you want to call it that.
Mostly though, it's a frustrating move to me simply because it takes a 40-man roster that already seemed absurd...and makes it seem...well, absurder.24 spots consumed by pitchers...at least 10 of which are not being considered...or apparently even that close to being considered, for the active roster...and of course that doesn't count the pitchers on the 25-man that the manager doesn't want to use.Has to be some kind of a record.

Asian markets extended their gains yesterday after taking their cue from the overnight rallies in global shares and shaking off China's lacklustre manufacturing data.
Wall Street gained 1.47 per cent overnight on Thursday as traders swooped in on battered stocks.
Asian traders took the hint: Japan was up 1.92 per cent, Korea edged ahead 0.84 per cent, Indonesia added 0.73 per cent and Malaysia gained 0.8 per cent.
Singapore was not left out of the party, with the Straits Times Index (STI) climbing 10.96 points, or 0.39 per cent, to 2,801.85. This was the market's second consecutive day of rises after five sessions of losses.
Sentiment across the region was likely lifted by China's manufacturing numbers for last month, which beat forecasts slightly, although they still marked a decline for the second consecutive month. The Chinese markets are closed for the week-long National Day holiday.
"The China readings were almost flat, not really an improvement, but a few people might have used the figures as an excuse to increase dollar-long positions with China closed today," Mr Masashi Murata, currency strategist for Brown Brothers Harriman, told Reuters.
"The big picture is still that the outlook for the global economy remains very subdued, mainly due to weak Chinese growth."
Global markets have been turbulent for the most of the third quarter, rocked by fears of China's shrinking economy. The lack of clues over the timing of the United States Federal Reserve interest rate hike has also done little to help.
The STI was propped up by the three banks, led by DBS Group, which rose six cents, or 0.37 per cent, to $16.27. United Overseas Bank added five cents, or 0.27 per cent, to $18.60, while OCBC rose one cent, or 0.11 per cent, to $8.80.
Property developer Hongkong Land Holdings also contributed positively, jumping 17 US cents, or 2.6 per cent, to US$6.78.
Commodity plays were a mixed bag, with Golden Agri-Resources rising half a cent, or 1.5 per cent, to 33.5 cents and Wilmar International up two cents, or 0.78 per cent, to $2.59. This was as Swiss mining giant Glencore recovered further from a heavy selldown earlier this week.
Trading firm Noble Group, on the other hand, slipped half a cent, or 1.2 per cent, to 41 cents.
Medical supplies group QT Vascular soared 4.9 cents, or 53.8 per cent, to 14 cents, after announcing on Wednesday it has successfully defended itself against a patent infringement lawsuit filed by AngioScore, another medical company.
Hong Leong Asia, the trade and industry arm of conglomerate Hong Leong Group, fell three cents, or 3.4 per cent, to 86 cents. The firm posted a profit warning for its third quarter and the nine months to Sept 30.
Total trade across the exchange was thin, with only about 1.19 billion shares worth $814.6 million changing hands.

The early signs of grey hair and wrinkles can send us into panic. Fine lines on the forehead and around the eyes, the dark spots and dry skin will always make us look aged and tired. However, much of the way we look and feel depends on how we treat our body, the foods we eat, stress management, and overall lifestyle. With only 30% of the ageing process genetically determined, that leaves us with 70% to control, and if you're over 35 years old but want to look in your 20's, is time to give up the hectic lifestyles and unhealthy eating habits.
Factors to eliminate from your daily routine
· lack of exercise
· excessive alcohol consumption
· smoking
· lack of sleep
· negative attitude
How to slow down the ageing process
· adopt healthy eating and exercising ( eat fresh fruits like papaya, blueberries, strawberries, sweet limes, oranges, and kiwis)
· give up sugar and artificial sweeteners ( go for dark chocolate as it has fewer calories and contains antioxidants)
· reduce the consumption of salt
· avoid prolonged sun exposure on holidays (solar rays are much stronger in our days and more harmful to the skin)
· do everything you can to avoid stress (stress leads to issues like sleeplessness, depression, heart disease, excessive weight gain or loss)
One other major factor in our forever young quest is the way we feel about ourselves. Feeling mentally and physically tired is a major symptom, which may affect our social and professional lives. A negative attitude can also lead to many health problems and social issues. So give up all your grudges, frustrations and worries. Adopt a positive attitude and start by being grateful for all the life experiences you've had so far. On a day to day basis, consume plenty of water and ensure you carry a good moisturiser with you at all times. As our body changes and some of us go through the menopause or hormonal imbalances, the skin tends to become dry due to intense moisture loss. This makes you look older so a skin-nourishing cream or lotion will solve the problem. For the hair, use organic shampoos and conditioners and do not be afraid to try natural treatments such as egg, honey or aloe vera on your hair.
Must do
Make sure you stay hydrated and use enough moisturizer on your skin. Wash and cleanse your face every day with water and a good cleanser and always use a natural anti-aging day cream with an SPF.
Must-Have Skincare Products in Your 30s:
· Serum – Coolherbals Anti-Aging Dermal Roller Facial Kit. Use it for anti-aging, sun damaged, hyper pigmentated, scarred and enlarged pores. The LED 633mm Red 0.3mm roller enhances skin regeneration and triggers the production of collagen and elastin in the skin.
· Moisturiser – Coolherbals Skin Nutrients Creme contains natural hydrating agents. Helps the skin to look plumper and firmer.
· Cleanser – Coolherbals Sweet Almond & Aloe Vera Cleanser. The gel cleanses deeply the pores, gently removes dirt, grime, and make-up. Detoxifies and heals skin.
· Exfoliator- Coolherbals Gopichand Clay Exfoliator contains mineral-rich botanicals which detoxify and cleanses the skin of dead cells and adds minerals back to the skin. Help reduce the appearance of fine lines and improves dry skin.

RAJA AMPAT, Indonesia
Stretching across 67,000 square kilometres in Indonesia's far east, the picture-perfect islands might be as close to paradise as visitors can find.
"It's amazing. We've been to millions of islands and I would say it's the most beautiful one," Canadian Angelika Redweik-Leung says at a lookout above the Pianemo island group.
Raja Ampat, which means Four Kings, is made up of 1,500 islands and is home to about 1,400 varieties of fish and 600 species of coral – making it one of the most biodiverse marine habitats on earth.
Indonesia's government is intent on turning the area into a tourism hotspot, building hotels, restaurants and investing in new harbours.
But on a palm-fringed island about two hours boat ride from Raja Ampat's capital Waisai, villagers still live in simple huts that lack electricity and clean water, while the nearest high school is scores of miles away.
Locals say they have seen no improvements to their lives despite the dramatic rise in visitors. According to government estimates around 15,000 tourists now come to the area each year – up from less than 5,000 in 2010.
"They've hurt us indigenous people. They took our land, our water and our forest. We feel betrayed," Paul Mayor, chief of the island's Byak Betew tribe, says of the government's tourism drive.
"That's our land, our ocean, which now is a world-class tourist destination, but we've gained nothing from the influx of tourists," he adds.
Mayor also criticised authorities for failing to properly protect the area's unique ecosystem, pointing to a catastrophic cruise ship crash in March, which damaged 13,500 square metres of pristine coral reef.
The 4,200-tonne Caledonian Sky ran aground near the island of Kri carrying 102 passengers and 79 crew, but half a year later no one has been held accountable. Researchers from the University of Papua, who assessed the impact of the accident, said restoring the damaged reef could cost as much as $16.2 million.
The head of tourism for Raja Ampat, Yusdi Lamatenggo, said the company operating the boat – Noble Caledonia – will be summoned to appear in court soon but so far they have not accepted responsibility or paid any damages.
In the meantime, he says, steps are being taken to prevent further accidents by establishing clearly demarcated cruise ship routes and world-class harbours.
But the accident has fuelled feelings of mistrust and exclusion often felt by Papua's indigenous Melanesian population. The resource-rich region was annexed by Jakarta in 1969 and most Papuans feel they have not been given an even share of its natural riches.
The military retains heavy influence in the region and regularly stifles dissent.
After taking office in 2014, president Joko Widodo pledged to speed up development in Papua, but many locals insist they have been forgotten.
"There has been no change," says Ariel Fakdawer, head of Saukabu village in Raja Ampat.
"The yearly Raja Ampat festival, for example, attracts thousands of tourists but we gain nothing from that. We are still poor, but the organisers of such festivals, outsiders, they have made a fortune," he adds.
Indigenous groups say they need communication satellites, electricity, better infrastructure, and the right to govern themselves by customary law.
"The government never fulfils our needs because they don't understand what we want," chief Mayor says.
"I believe the government has to approach us by bearing in mind our cultural needs. They have to talk to us indigenous people."
But not everyone is against the rush to open up Raja Ampat to the world.
Villager Medzke Karoswaf explains: "This is a modern world. We cannot live isolated like in a cave forever. We have to be open-minded. Like it or not, we don't live alone in this world."

Exactly what is a personalised gift? A personalised gifts south africa present is where an product is marked which has a person's initials or identify, or normally produced personalized to them because of the usage of photos, quotes or other relevant materials.
You can find two primary motives for carrying out this. The first should be to incorporate benefit on your gift by concentrating on the receiver inside a much more exact way. A e-book, pen or photograph body marked with their identify or possibly a reference to your special occasion, leaves the receiver sensation that you have long gone to wonderful endeavours in picking their reward. Next it is actually utilized by corporations so that you can produce a fantastic perception of themselves, and in the process disseminating information or details with regards to their enterprise.
The two most popular methods for personalising items are engraving and printing. The first will require lasers or diamond tip cutters, and these are definitely utilized to mark a substantial range of objects such as jewelry, pens, coasters, lighters, desk accessories, keyrings, cufflinks, trinket boxes and so forth.

Kundalini and the Near Death Experience
Kundalini and the Near Death Experience
I am currently preparing a new book of prose reflections on Kundalini to be called "Kundalini Splendor: The god/goddess in the Body." These reflections were originally published on my blog and Facebook over many years. What follows is one such entry.
More on Kundalini and Near-Death Experiences
Last night I attended a fascinating panel by persons who had gone through a "near-death" experience. Once more, I was struck by the resemblance between NDE's and Kundalini awakening. Here are some of their common features (often noted by other writers as well):
1. Each is a life-changing event. It is what Katherine Anne Porter called (in another context) "the moment that changes everything." Once such profound encounters occur, one is charged forever and there is no going back to the earlier stage.
2. Both result in states of overwhelming love. Those who travel to "the other side" are so enraptured by their new sense of indescribable bliss that they feel that they are embraced by the vast and loving forces of the universe, even God itself. Likewise, Kundalini, when it is in proper alignment, may result in absolute ecstasy, akin to that of St. Teresa of Avila or St. John of the Cross. This condition of utter bliss is not a thought but a somatic experience at the cellular level.
3. Both find in this new state that feelings of depression or self-rejection simply disappear, for surely one cannot be sad in the face of such overwhelming love. Atheists become believers, doubters are convinced. The "divine" is real and courses through the body as the Beloved Within.
4. Both have great difficulty in "returning" to the world where materialistic values and petty concerns are the norm. They are now "walking in the two worlds," for they have been granted a vision of a reality that others do not know exists.
5. Both are often reluctant to share this mysterious and intimate adventure with others, for it seems like a betrayal of that which is profoundly sacred. Ultimately, they may come forth and speak, as a gift to the world to understand this still unfamiliar experience.
6. Both now often have a sense of mission or purpose, and seek a means of "giving back" the gift in whatever way is best suited to their capacities. They may go into healing professions, or turn to artistic expressions, or writing. Service, rather than personal gain, is now their motivating factor.
7. Both experience great love for and a sense of oneness with all others. They literally feel "I am you" and if I look in the mirror, it might be your face that I see. The world itself may appear in radiant beauty, transformed into a garden of mystic delight. Everything, even the trash in the street, may be luminous. They may know at the deepest levels that everything and every being in the universe is connected as part of the one great whole, as part of the single fabric of the cosmos with love at the center of all.
8. They may be quite lonely in their journey, for others may be disbelieving or openly disapproving when they attempt to describe their encounters. Family and friends may think they are mentally disturbed and need psychological help. Mates may feel betrayed and see this new element as a disrupting element in their relationship. Indeed, they may have no one to confide in, no one to support them as they struggle to integrate this new dimension of awareness into their lives.
8. Both NDE'ers and Kundalini awakened ones may now be filled with the deep realization that each of us is a "fiction," a story that we ourselves have created, for we do not exist except as tiny particle in the great glory of the divine source.
9. Each experience is unique to the person. Each one undergoes a pattern of responses relevant to their particular nature and life experiences. Yet there are common threads among all of these.
10. Universal awareness of both the NDE and Kundalini processes is becoming more widespread, in part because of media access and also because (I think) more such events are actually happening as the field expands, especially those involving spontaneous Kundalini awakenings.
11. Both phenomena are (I believe) parts of the ongoing process of evolution of consciousness now going on worldwide. Both propel us forward as humanity transforms into a new kind of being, indeed perhaps a new species.
12. One of the dominant features of the NDE is the immersion into a sea of love at the other side. Kundalini itself often produces a similar feeling of ecstatic joy. Some authorities state that at the moment of death, the Kundalini energies are released and thus one may exit in a state of pure rapture. Thus Kundalini is in fact an integral part of the death process itself.
The folks on the panel were each one a loving being, transformed into a messenger of the heart to help the planet move forward in our process of universal awakening to a new reality.

"A student who brings into the art room a positive attitude, along with a willingness to explore, experiment, and discover, will be amazed with the artwork he or she is capable of creating. I believe that beautiful and meaningful art is in the heart of every child."
Julie Bugnitz
Art Teacher, Third-Sixth Grades
Inside the Classroom
In the art room at City Academy, students explore and experiment with a variety of art materials and create their own unique solutions to artistic problems presented. Whether using watercolors, clay, inks, paints, paper or crayons, students at each grade level are challenged each day to give their very best as they express themselves through their art work. In the process, skills such as critical thinking, envisioning, imagination and problem solving are developed and honed. In addition, students begin to understand and appreciate the interconnectedness of art with history, culture, literature, music, nature and STEM subjects, through discussion and projects.
During the second quarter of the school year, fifth and sixth grade students worked with clay, constructing boxes and cylinder shaped vases and cups. Mathematic concepts of measuring, angles, and geometry were reinforced with these projects. When the pieces are thoroughly dried, they will be bisque fired in the kiln, and then glazed and fired again.
Following weeks of work, the fourth grade students completed a printmaking project which involved printing symmetrical designs on pieced tissue paper backgrounds. Measuring with rulers to create a 9 inch grid on which to print was an objective of this project, along with color theory, design and printmaking techniques.
