SSBBW Apple Bomb challenges her slave to take ALL of his Mistress and promptly plants herself on his chest. His breathing quickly becomes more labored as he is helplessly pinned beneath her incredible 535 pounds. She gradually moves to a face sitting position, completely disregarding her little slave's suffering, and suffocates him with her gargantuan ass. Apple Bomb enjoys her power and even amuses herself bouncing on his small head! She does let him catch a quick breath, but only to deliver a mammoth fart straight up his nose which she tells him to sniff… and he does!

- How to Design Your Own Custom Labels | LabelValue
How to Use Our Design Tool
Step 1. Choose Your Label Size (options listed here)
We have a variety of labels that are created for use with our custom label design tool. Choose the size and material that fits your needs to get started:
Step 2. Name Your Label
First thing to do is give your label a name. That way you can save it, reference it later or reorder it in the future if needed. Just click the word "label," backspace, and replace "Unnamed Label" with your label name.
Step 3. Choose a Template or Background
Now that you've given your label a great name, the first design step is to set your theme or background. In the "TEMPLATES" tab, there are preset templates, which are fully designed labels, badges, and backgrounds.
If you would like to change the background color of the label, select the color selector to the right of the backgrounds button. For this tutorial, we're going to show how to use and modify a template. Just click the template you would like to edit.
Step 4. Change the Text or Add New Text
So we want to create a clean looking label for an ocean-scented candle. After choosing a template, you can click the different text to edit the words, style or add new text boxes. For this tutorial, we're going to change the main title text in the template to "Ocean Air Scented Candle".
Step 5. Modify the Other Label Elements
Along with backgrounds, badges, templates and text, we have dozens of preloaded shapes, images and clipart that you can use for your labels. This label features a triangle outline, however we want to change it to a diamond in the same green color. Simply select the triangle, delete it, then select the diamond shape from the "SHAPES" tab.
You'll notice when selecting a shape you can set the FILL and OUTLINE colors, as well as the outline size, so you can make sure your shapes and text look exactly as you want them to.
Step 6. Upload Your Own Background Image
So we want to use our own branded image as the background for the label. To do this, first select the "UPLOADS" tab. From here you can either select the UPLOAD button to search for the file you want to upload or you can drag and drop the file from your computer or the web.*
Once added, you will have some image editing options that will show in the image preview box. For this image, we want to remove the white edges. To do this, simply drag the "remove white" slider until your image looks as you want it to. When you're finished editing, select ADD IMAGE TO LABEL, and position your image where you would like it to go. For this image, we will send it to the back and drag it to the bottom of the label.
Step 7. Add More Elements
You can add clipart from the "IMAGES" tab, QR Codes, more text, or anything else you find useful.
Step 8. Preview, Approve & Enjoy Your Labels!
*Note: You must have the rights to any images uploaded to our tool.

This month, Marvel Studios announced plans to add six films to its always expanding slate of features. It was expected that the studio would perhaps announce a few of those titles during its Comic-Con presentation on Saturday night, but only one name was revealed: "Guardians of the Galaxy 2" will arrive on July 28, 2017. James Gunn will return to write and direct the sequel, which follows next week's "Guardians of the Galaxy."
As for the rest of the Marvel schedule, "Marvel's The Avengers: Age of Ultron" is out on May 1, 2015. Peyton Reed's "Ant-Man" arrives two months later, on July 17, 2015. "Captain America 3" comes next on May 6, 2016. After that and excluding "Guardians 2," there are seven unnamed or unannounced films on the calendar: July 8, 2016, May 5, 2017, Nov. 3, 2017, May 4, 2018, July 6, 2018, Nov. 2, 2018 and May 3, 2019. ("Doctor Strange" is expected to arrive on that July 8, 2016 slot, but Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige made no reference to the film during the Comic-Con panel despite rumors that Joaquin Phoenix would be announced as star of the film during the event.)
"Guardians of the Galaxy" is out on Aug. 1.

What an incredible start to the year so far!
WOW, we have been blown away by the amazing start we have made in Year 6. It has been fantastic to see so many of the children rising to the challenge of being role-models for the rest of the school.
Since the start of the year, we have been working incredibly hard. With our first Learning Journey, "ENGAGE". This allowed gave us a chance to look at what it meant to be a Year 6 and to consider the importance of the year ahead. Just a few of the activities we did were: writing a letter to our future selves, considering how to manage our feelings in situations, looking at the rights and responsibilities of people in school, thinking about how we are a team … and many many more!
We completed this Learning Journey with our Backwards Inspiration Day, where children had the opportunity to dress up as aliens, people from Star Fleet or other space themed creatures (see below). During the day, the children had the opportunity to visit different areas of Star Fleet Academy, where there were all manner of challenges for them to complete in order to determine which area of Star Fleet might suit them best. What a fantastic day!
After this incredible start, we have kept the momentum going as we have begun our Science based Learning Journey, "Manipulating McCoy", where we are looking at adaptation and evolution in order to consider ways we can adapt McCoy to suit new environments when on an Away Mission – so he doesn't need a space suit! We're looking forward to hearing the incredible ideas that the children come up with over the next few weeks.

Everything was clicking along pretty well until my attention was required for the more tedious matters involved with this wedding planning. I decided to tackle the one task that I have dreaded for so long; compiling the wedding list. It was necessary that I work on this, this week since the Save-the-Dates had to be in the mail by the last day of the month...yeah, I know, that's like NEXT TUESDAY! (ugh...)
I printed all of my various address lists off of the computer, placed them in a box with the Save-the-Dates and headed off to baby-sit Parker Ann. I told myself that while she was napping, I would work furiously on them. I actually got about half of the 150 envelopes addressed when she woke up. I set my project aside...I would work on them again the next day.
As I was dragging that box of cards out to attempt to finish them, I noticed a bag laying on the floor of my car. Looking inside, I noticed the thank-you notes that Caitlin had given me to finish addressing and put in the mail this week...CRAP! I laid the Save-the Dates aside and hurriedly began addressing the thank-you notes, got them stamped and in the mailbox before she got home from school and discovered that I had procrastinated on that task too. Technically, I DID get them in the mail this week, so I wasn't actually "behind". Now, it was back to my address list and the remainder of the Save-the Dates...
Just as I was settling in and beginning to focus, I got a text message from Caitlin: "Kevin finishes his rotation today and wants to come in for the weekend; will that be OK?" I told her, "Sure" and then it hit me...the upstairs room where he generally stays was an absolute disaster area. I still had Christmas decorations that needed to be boxed up and wedding gifts covering the entire surface of the bed. In fact, it was so bad that there could have been a small family living up there and I would have never known. I quickly sent a message back that said," He will have to sleep on the couch bed in the office...Oh, and do NOT let him even go upstairs!
OK, so David was coming in town this weekend, Caitlin had another shower on Saturday, Kevin was now also coming in, I had invitations to address, the buzzards were circling my house and...another text came through; it was Caitlin again: "Hey, Mom...Do you think we could buy a King Cake this weekend?" OH MY GOSH!!! What is wrong with these people?! OK...regroup, regroup, regroup. Take a deep breath. I realize that this problem with the addresses and Save-the-Dates is totally self-inflicted. I look at the clock; it's time to go to the gym...and then take my mother to lunch...and then go buy presents for the shower Saturday. Oh well, today is Friday and I've got until Tuesday to get those cards in the mail...no problem! After all, I'm half way done. Surely, I can find some time Sunday afternoon after everyone leaves...I HOPE!
This Save-the-Date was a DIY joint project. Caitlin found the design, Kevin painted the props and I took the photographs! The cards were made by Shutterfly.

A weight to height ratio chart is needed to identify what would be the ideal weight of a person in proportion to his or her height. It's really important to attain the target weight in alignment to height as any situation otherwise can mean serious health issues. The ratio would differ with respect to gender and hence you have separate Height Weight Chart Templates for women and men.
A weight to height chart sample not only shows the ideal or target weight ratio but also what height and weight ratios refer to underweight and overweight issues. These would mostly be expressed as "low" or "high" respectively. Such a reading will reveal whether you have to get into a rigorous and immediate weight management regime or not. The good thing is that today you have Weight To Height Ratio Chart Templates over the web to help you when you are looking to know about your ideal weight.
The weight to height ratio chart for babies sample will show the ideal weight range with respect to height for babies from birth to 24 months of age.
A weight to height ratio chart for big kids template will show the ratio of required weight as per the height for kids from 5-10 years of age. You can also see Baby Weight Gain Charts.
The height weight ratio chart for adults template will express the ideal weight reading with respect to a certain height for adult males or females.
A weight to height ratio template free would be great to have an expert idea on how much weight is rightly proportionate to a certain height. These Height Weight Chart Templates are great both for laymen like us and also for General Practitioners and Pediatricians.
If you are in search of the best weight to height ratio chart templates on the internet, you should know that template.net would be the ideal online platform for you.

Many, right here in Douglas County, are afflicted by preventable diseases, such as heart disease, obesity, and diabetes, and are burdened by the cost and inconvenience of medications. This program will share simple, safe, affordable, and practical methods that result in health restoration. Learn about an optimal lifestyle, that includes personal health empowerment, natural movement, mindfulness, social support and the benefit of transitioning toward more whole, plant-based foods. Find out how you can make the change to a happier and healthier you!
The next round of the course starts on (TBD).
Afternoon and evening options for attending class are available:
Wednesdays from 2:00-4:00 pm
Thursdays from 5:30-7:30 pm
Class Location:
Better Living Center, located at 1129 NW Garden Valley Blvd. in Roseburg
(next to the Seventh Day Adventist Church, across from Starbucks)
The Lifestyle & Nutrition Course is a 13 week, evidence-based, disease prevention and reversal series that uses lifestyle medicine to address the leading causes of death in the U.S. New topics are covered each week, including heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and other chronic illnesses as well as how to view and manage stress, mindfulness avoiding toxins and chemicals "moving naturally" or incorporating more exercise into the daily experience, and practical strategies for lasting happiness, all in a socially supportive atmosphere. The theoretical portion of the program is complimented with practical cooking demos, and sampling along with take-home packets of helpful handouts and easy and affordable recipes.
Around 1,500 people have gone through the course in the last 4 years and have seen profound results such as significant weight loss, a decrease in dosage or even discontinuation or certain medications, lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure, improved mood and greater energy and vibrancy. Health improvements are verifiable through pre and post blood draws generously provided at the 2nd and 11th week of class by CHI Mercy. Over 45 (and counting) doctors and other medical providers around Douglas County are referring their patients to T.H.I.P. as a preventative measure and means to address the roots causes of illness that many are afflicted by right here in our community.
It is of utmost importance to UC-VEG that the information contained in the 13 week course is disseminated to those that need it. Therefore, there is no fee for the course, though donations are welcome and appreciated.
A team of facilitators, representing a diverse array of medical and professional backgrounds, serve as your guides on the journey through the Lifestyle & Nutrition Course. Our facilitators are contributing their time and expertise as a service to the community of Douglas County.
While all materials for the class are provided, the book "How Not To Die" by Michael Greger, M.D. is suggested as the text book for the course. Students are encouraged to obtain their own copy, available for purchase in class for $18 or online for $15.00 – $27.00 plus shipping. Participants that are on Oregon Health Plan will receive a free copy of the book, thanks to a generous sponsorship from the Umpqua Health Alliance.

We look forward to meeting you at the start of the next round on Wednesday or Thursday.
Best of Health!

The Next American Economy project brought together 30 experts from various disciplines to envision tomorrow's economic and political challenges and develop today's solutions. Their assignment: be bold, and leave the conventional wisdom — and their own opinions — behind. In today's video, SEIU's Andy Stern offers a darker take on a future in which continued technological innovation has had a devastating impact on the job market.
Andy Stern, president emeritus of SEIU, speculates that by 2040 technological advancement will have unleashed a tsunami of job loss. "The intellectuals who long served up education, entrepreurial tendencies, and innovation as the answer to all our job problems joined the union leaders, market fundamentalists, and the conservative economists in the Flat Earth Society," says Stern.
But in the 2042 election, a new coalition will rise, securing the policies needed for us to live in a future defined by abundance and equality.

Michael Zeeman, Dutch journalist, writer and philosopher, passed away at the age of 50 in Rotterdam on Monday 27 July.
I met Michael Zeeman just a few times – at several forums in the network of Berlin Conference "A Soul For Europe" but these meetings made me feel a great sympathy to this intelligent, open-minded and kind man. I have heard about him as a ruthless critic but my own impressions where quite opposite: while participating in the panels that he moderated I was always pleased not only with his professionalism but also with a feeling of a friendly support that was radiating from his massive figure.
His understanding was very important for me when I spoke about the problems of national identity in the common Europe. That subject was usually "against the stream" of cosmopolitan-oriented discussions but Michael was open towards other views and free of dogmas. I would always remember how precisely he caught my idea and concluded at the panel discussion in Pecs: "In order to become more European, Ukraine needs to become more Ukranian…"
Many people will remember him as cosmopolitan, a cultural worker of United Europe. Maybe that is true, but as for me that is not the full true. I would like to recall one episode (unfortunately, I don't remember exactly where it was – maybe in Skopje). At our conversation during the lunch, Michael suddenly told me: "You know, while living in the Netherlands I never thought about my nationality. But when I started to work in Italy, speaking Italian on TV, writing in Italian language in newspapers, I suddenly understood that I am Dutch and that this part of self-identification is really important".
God rest his soul!

Since losing Dwight Howard the Orlando Magic haven't been anymore of a title contender than the Cleveland Browns. Okay, maybe I went a little too far. They're not in that bad of shape as they have a great head coach in Frank Vogel and young roster that actually plays pretty well defensively.
However, Magic CEO Alex Martins recently said that he thinks the team will win a title, sometime in the next 14 years.
"I certainly believe by 2030 we will have won at least one championship," Martins said. "And I say 'at least.' I firmly believe we're going to get there and once you get there, you got the kind of team that hopefully can come back.:"
"I believe we will have won a championship."
Source: Martins: Magic will be champs by 2030 – Orlando Sentinel.
Yes it's a very odd prediction and a very odd timetable. But hey when all you have is hope, I guess a little reassurance from the top is always good to hear for a fan. But sitting at 10-15 and at an almost league low 94.8 points per game, the Orlando Magic have more than 14 years of work to do if they plan on competing let alone winning an NBA Championship.

One thing unites us no matter where we live or how much money we make, and that's a desire to be both happy and healthy.
What's cool about that is, no matter your age, background, or the region where we reside, we all need many of the same vitamins. And how exciting is it knowing you can do your part to make sure others — and you — get what we need to reach optimum health?
Click on any of the photos above to learn about the unique vitamin needs of boys, girls, women, and men all over the world. Though they may differ, we can each learn how we can work toward our individual and common goal of living happy and healthy lives.
Meet John.
John, a 26-year-old Harvard law student currently based in New York City, cares about staying healthy. He and his girlfriend share many hobbies, and their far-and-beyond favorite is rock climbing.
"Nothing's as exciting as making it up a cliff face with my girlfriend. There's something special about being up there together. It brings us so much closer," John tells A Plus.
But between having class, working and trying to stay active, he doesn't always have time to eat the most nutritious meals or cook for himself.
"I need a pretty high-energy level every day, because I'm responsible for producing a lot of different types of work, and it can be taxing to juggle those," John says. To help him balance his activities and a healthy diet, John can take supplements with vitamins.
Vitamin D is a hormone that stimulates the way your body develops.
Dr. Marco Vespignani, a naturopathic doctor who specializes in multiple sclerosis (MS) and autoimmune diseases, says you can't underestimate the importance of vitamin D in your body.
"It helps the body differentiate, figure out who it is," Vespignani tells A Plus. "Vitamin D reduces risks of cancer, and there is evidence that shows as vitamin D levels go down, risk of death goes up."
There is also substantial evidence that vitamin D increases bone strength, which is important for guys as active as John.
"Energy and strong bones are crucial for rock climbing," John says. "It requires a lot of endurance. If you climb up something and get completely exhausted before you can climb back down, it can cause some serious problems."
Symptoms of a vitamin D deficiency range from the mild to the severe.
The recommended daily dose of vitamin D for a man John's age is 15 micrograms (mcg), according to National Institutes of Health. For someone like John with fair skin, that equates to just a few minutes in the sun without sunscreen.
"I know I need to try to eat healthier," he says. "Maybe I'll start by making dinner for myself and my girlfriend more often, and I'll try to get more fit for our next climbing trip, too."
John isn't the only person who needs vitamin D, however. Forty-year-old Craig from New York and 14-month-old Rosalinda from Guatemala, also need it. Click on Craig and Rosalinda's photos, highlighted in red, to find out how they are connected by their vitamin need, or explore the rest of the profiles below.
Want to help people around the world get access to vitamins? For every purchase of vitamins and minerals at Walgreens, they will make a donation to Vitamin Angels.
Statements about vitamin deficiencies, the benefits of vitamin D and recommended doses are not endorsed by or representative of opinions from Vitamin Angels.

Lorin has been successfully making presentations to investment bankers for more than a decade. His clients count on him to have up-to-the-minute knowledge on the latest rules and regulations. They also think of him as a brilliant lawyer who truly understands this fast-paced and challenging industry and all of its components.
Like most partners, Lorin has relied on his firm's marketing department to help with the design of his PowerPoint presentations. He has grown comfortable over the years with PowerPoint due to its ease of use and bulleted slides that keep him on track. He also provides his attendees with a sequenced set of information to take home.
Then one of his clients sent him a link to a TED Talk about the secret as to what constituted great leadership. His thinking changed in an instant. Lorin had heard about TED Talks, but didn't know very much about them other than they were known for their brevity and spreading great ideas to stimulate thinking. As Lorin watched the short 15-minute presentation on, "How Great Leaders Inspire Action," he realized that he may have stumbled onto something that would allow him to be a real standout at the upcoming conference. He imagined using just 15 to 18 minutes to present the new idea he had about investment banking giving him time for some quick group work so the attendees could figure out how to apply this cutting-edge idea to their own situations and companies.
Lorin searched online for the best TED Talks, and after watching a few, he saw how this type of presentation could apply to any topic or idea. He became smitten with the concept and became determined to learn to how to craft a truly effective TED-style talk.
Here are the top 10 TED-style tips that you can share with the attorneys you work with:
- TED Talks are a showcase for speakers presenting well-informed ideas in 18 minutes.
- They work well because an audience is good at focusing on one subject at a time in relatively short chunks. Shorter talks are not lesser talks. It may only take minutes to make your point unforgettable.
- Be knowledgeable about your topic and have a compelling new argument or viewpoint behind it. Although you do not have to be the world's most foremost expert, you should be an expert on your niche area.
- Provide accurate facts, anecdotes and statistics.
- The primary goal of your talk is to communicate an idea effectively in a short span of time.
- Before preparing for your talk, ask yourself if your idea is something new to your audience and if it will be interesting to them.
- Open your talk with a surprising or cool fact that is relevant to the audience.
- Structure your talk around stories that contain pockets of information. This will capture your audience and point to why or how your idea can be implemented. You may choose some limited visual assistance, such as a few PowerPoint, Prezi or PowToon slides that can help take your audience on a visual journey. Do not use bulleted slides; rather, use a single focal point such as a graph, a compelling word or phrase, a photograph or other image. These images will connect your words with a visual context.
- Memorize and rehearse your presentation for ease of delivery. Practice your talk in front of a mirror and time it. It should be between 15 to 18 minutes.
- Remember that laughter is good, and that you are not selling anything.
TED-style talks not only provide a neat and condensed platform to deliver a message, but they create an opportunity for your attorneys' messages to stand out from the crowd and allow him or her to be more memorable, connecting with the audience on a deeper and more focused level.

We report a design and demonstration of an electro-optically Q-switched intracavity optical parametric oscillator (IOPO) based on a unique ramped duty-cycle periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) in a diode-pumped 1064-nm Nd:YVO4 laser. The PPLN crystal, having a double-prism domain (DPD) structure with a domain period of 30 μm, can work simultaneously as an electro-optic (EO) beam deflector (and therefore an EO Q-switch in the laser cavity) and an optical parametric down converter. The characterized deflection sensitivity of the DPD PPLN device was 1.15°/kV-cm. At a 180-V Q-switching voltage and a 1-kHz switching rate, we measured a down-converted signal at 1550 nm with pulse energy of >8.1 μJ (or peak power of >2.3 kW) from the constructed IOPO at 7.5-W diode pump power. Continuous wavelength tuning of the IOPO signal was also demonstrated.

A dog that went blind due to diabetes regained its eyesight thanks to modern medicine. But it's the video of the dog's reunion with its owners that has everyone talking.
Duffy is a 9-year-old Irish terrier. According to Benjamin May, whose parents care for the pet, Duffy is a rescue dog with his share of health battles, including diabetes.
"Within about 3-5 months he went from a totally normal 8 year old dog to a dog who was completely blind," May wrote on Reddit. "Thankfully we got his numbers steady and (doctors) said we could attempt surgery."
The surgery went off without a hitch. Duffy looks thrilled and his owners sound even more excited in the minute-and-a-half clip. May, who left the U.S. seven months ago to work overseas, was sent the video so he could see that Duffy was OK. May shared it on both YouTube and Reddit. It has been viewed more than 633,000 times since Saturday.
Regarding Duffy's medical expenses, May said the insulin costs $350 a month and the surgery was $5,000. But there is no price tag on the dog's quality of life and the joy he brings to others, May added.
"I know most people will [say] that that was a waste of money but whatever," he wrote. "He's happy and he makes us happy, he's family to us, you can't put a price on family."
May hopes to return home before the end of the year to visit his family and have his own eye-to-eye reunion with Duffy.

Ahhh, it's a classic fairytale. The good villagers discover a holy angel. The good villagers worship the holy angel.
The good villagers realise the holy angel is actually a life-size not-so-holy sex toy.
When a fisherman from a small beach town in Indonesia found a seemingly lifeless body on the shore, he genuinely believed it was an angel that had fallen from heaven.
Local news organisation Pojok Satu described it as an "angel child", which was "shining white, (with) round eyes with red eyebrows."
"This angel child also was found face down, crying and naked covered only a white cloth."
The whole village of Kalupapi was buzzing with excitement - until of course those pesky police had to get involved and ruin everything with the flaccid truth.
"So it was checked by one of our team. It was a sex toy," the area's police chief, Heru Pramukarno, told local media.
The parents of the man who found the 'angel' had cared for it every day, changing its clothes and giving it a blouse and hijab as it slowly deflated.

Report: Ancient mass extinction happened suddenly
By Richard Stenger
(CNN) -- A cataclysmic event quickly killed off most of the species on Earth about 200 million years ago, after which dinosaurs began their long reign on the planet, according to a report to be published in Friday's edition of the journal Science.
"This mass extinction has been known for a long time, but this is the first study to show that it happened suddenly," said paleontologist Peter Ward, lead author of the report.
"This is the first time that we can see how sudden the event was. It was very quick. Not a long, protracted episode."
Researchers found evidence of the rampant die-off, which took place on the boundary of the Triassic and Jurassic periods, by studying the fossil record of common marine plankton from the era.
Between 50 and 80 percent of life on the planet didn't survive the catastrophic period, which lasted less than 10,000 years -- the blink of an eye in geological terms.
Various causes suspected; dinos spared
An asteroid collision, like those thought to have sparked other large-scale extinctions over the ages, is among the suspected causes of the episode. One such event 65 million years ago ended the age of dinosaurs.
A sudden change in climate induced by a burst of volcanic activity may also have triggered the event. Ward and his colleagues noted that the die-off took place just before the breakup of Pangea, a supercontinent that included all the landmasses on Earth.
Curiously, the extinction killed off mammal-like reptiles that once roamed the Earth, but spared the dinosaurs, according to the report. "Perhaps creatures reproducing with buried eggs survived and large animals with live births did not," Ward speculated.
The researchers from the United States and Canada trudged through thick forests on remote islands off British Columbia to gather fossil evidence showing sharp, correlating collapses in organic carbon -- a marker of plant life productivity -- and radiolarians, single-cell organisms that served as a food source for many marine species.
"These provide the best report of how nasty the extinction was at this boundary," Ward said.

Ask a QuestionHere are the questions asked by community members. Read on to see the answers provided by the ThriftyFun community or ask a new question.
How long can spices be kept?
Carol from AZ
My Mom had a bottle of ground cloves which she used for her Pumpkin Pie. She passed away in 1989 and I still use those cloves in her recipe. Still have 1/4 bottle left. The aroma and color are fresh and spicy. Everyone raves about the pie!
If it's McCormick and made in Baltimore it is more than 15 years old. Throw it out!
I don't think any dried spices "go bad"; they just lose their flavor. Or, of course, get infested. If it's clean, and still smells like it should, go ahead and use it.
Herbs, now, are a little different story. Dried vegetable flakes get tough and leathery; dried leaves (dill, parsley, etc) lose their color and flavor. Again, though, I'm not aware of any health issues.
i have to check if it is made in Baltimore, i know my dried spices like Rosemary, pesto and the like was already 15 years old now, I do not know if i can use it in my cooking. Can you please help me know.
Thank you and God bless your Company.,
Sincerely yours,
Lyn palmiery
I have store bought dried herbs and spices (in prepackaged jars) that no longer are fragrant (to my nose) AND since using them for that one 'specific' recipe - so very long ago - I'm not sure when or if I'll use them ever again. So, how long to those store bought dried herbs and spices maintain freshness?
Hi Jean, I found this info off of the McCormick website. The shelf life really varies by product. Here's the site : www.mccormick.com/
I found this at StillTasty.com. Look under "Tips". www.stilltasty.com/
ThriftyFun is one of the longest running frugal living communities on the Internet. These are archives of older discussions.
You know, I had always thought that spices should be changed out every year at the least - but when I read your query I did some sleuthing and found this informative website.
They say the following:
"Stored in an airtight container, in a cool, dry place, spices retain their potency longer than you'd think as long as 4 years for whole spices, 2 to 3 years for ground spices, and 1 to 3 years for leafy herbs, depending on the herb."

By Linda
Spices are to be kept in the dark like you have, in a cool place. But the rule of thumb is to replace them after one year. If you look at them by then they are pretty dried out and have lost a lot of there color, as well as there flavor. (04/18/2007)
By Dar
As per the McCormick website:
To make sure all your dishes delight friends and family, use this chart to check the freshness of your spices and herbs.
Self Life -
ground spices - 2-3 years
whole spices - 3-4 years
seasoning blends - 1-2 years
herbs - 1-3 years
extracts -
4 years, except pure vanilla, which lasts indefinitely
The Flavor Experts at McCormick Recommend the Following Tips:
Check to see that the color of your spices and herbs is vibrant. If the color has faded, chances are so has the flavor.
Rub or crush the spice or herb in your hand. If the aroma is weak and flavor is not apparent, it's time to replace it.
Store herbs and spices in a tightly capped container, and keep away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight. Replace bottle lids tightly immediately after use.
To minimize moisture and caking, use a dry measuring spoon and avoid sprinkling directly into a steaming pot.
Check the freshness date on the bottom or right side of the bottle to help keep track of when it's time to T.O.S.S.

Some Perspectives on Quality
by Bill Inmon
Originally published July 23, 2009
When it gets right down to it, there are a lot of perspectives on quality of data in a data warehouse. There is one perspective that says that data should be corrected whenever it can be corrected before it is ever entered into a data warehouse. When a value is found to be incorrect, the data should be amended if at all possible before it is placed in a data warehouse. We probably have data quality pioneer Larry English to thank for this perspective. But there are other schools of thought. There is another school of thought that holds that data should not be corrected before entry into a data warehouse, even when it is known that the data is incorrect. We probably have Geoff Holloway to thank for this perspective.
Now these are two very different approaches to the same problem. So who is right and who is wrong? It turns out that they are both right. You just have to supply the proper context to tell the difference between the two different perspectives.
In general, if data is known to be incorrect and if there is a known way to correct to fix the data, then it makes sense to correct the data if you can. Larry English is correct in this general case hypothesis. It simply does not make sense to place incorrect data into a data warehouse if it is possible not to.
But is it true that data should always be corrected before entry into the data warehouse? It turns out that there are quite a few circumstances when data should not or cannot be corrected prior to entry into the data warehouse. For example, suppose that upon finding some incorrect data, there is no known way to correct the data. The best you can do is to put a default value into the field that is known to be incorrect. But that really isnt correcting the data. Or suppose that you want to provide a clerk with the best information possible in order to figure out how to actually make a correction. Geoff Holloway makes the point that keeping incorrect data even when it is known to be incorrect often provides valuable clues as to how data needs to be corrected. When the incorrect data is thrown away, no such clues exist. Or, there is the case where there is a legal reason to keep incorrect data. Take loan applications. Suppose that a home loan application is made for a billion dollars. Even though no bank or lending institution makes loans of this amount for a home and even though everyone including the applicant knows that this value is a mistake, there is a legal obligation to leave the loan application untouched even when it is known that the application contains incorrect or faulty data. Only the originator of the loan application can correct the data, and even then the correction is made by filing a new application, not by reentering the old application.
There are then very legitimate circumstances where incorrect data is best left in the database or data warehouse. Stated differently, there is no circumstance where correcting data or not correcting data is the right thing to do. In order to determine which approach is proper, the context of the corrections has to be known. Only then can it be determined whether correcting errors is the proper thing to do.
But there are other perspectives.
Another perspective is questioning whether or not exactness and complete accuracy matter in a data warehouse? Is it possible to have some degree of inaccuracy in a data warehouse? The answer is that while accuracy is certainly desirable and is certainly important, complete accuracy should not be needed in a data warehouse. Consider the following context a manager wishes to find out how much monthly revenue was across the United States for a product. The answer comes back that there was total monthly sales of $12,076,917. Now it turns out that there was a sale in Oklahoma that was for $102 that was incorrectly recorded as a sale of $10.20. On the one hand, it is true that the information in the data warehouse is not perfectly accurate. On the other hand does it matter? If there was an error of $90 out of a total of $12,000,000, is the error going to influence any decision negatively? The answer is absolutely not.
But if it turns out that all sales in New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado and Utah have been recorded improperly, and if it turns out that there was a differential of $500,000 out of $12,000,000, then there is every likelihood that this kind of error will in fact make a difference to any decision made from the calculation. Accuracy then is a relative issue in the face of the kinds of decisions being made with data from a data warehouse.
Because data in the data warehouse is used in summary, there is some tolerance for error. Of course, the tolerance for error may be small. But there is nevertheless a tolerance for error.
It is only at the individual record or account level that there is no tolerance for error. It is when a system keeps track of individual records checks, deposits, ATM activities and the like that there is no tolerance for error.
So the notion of data quality takes some surprising twists when viewed in the context of data warehousing and decision support processing.

I agree with Karien, and also Bill, as one the first benefits to be achieved from a data mart or warehouse is VISIBILITY of the data from your business apps... and if IT think they can or should be accountable for 'fixing' it then I would argue that they should think again. IT are merely custodians of data, not the owners. Garbage in, garbage out - IT do not have a magic wand, and should not try to fix things they are not asked to fix by the business.
So George, surely your problem lies with your IT systems, although I appreciate that in complex, large scale environments, fixing small things like code value anomolies is difficult to get 'fixed' back in the source systems and you have to 'live with it' in the DW domain.
In my designs I try to provide a view of the RAW source data within a persistent version of the staging layer, (building up history that may no longer be stored in the sources over time due to archiving etc) and then providing the conformed, standardised and 'fixed' view within data models - but making sure that it is possible to reconcile back to the raw layer to allow users to trust that the data is correct.
If you were to 'fix' a null value in a particular column, how do you then reconcile this back to the source? Your reported figures are instantly different from the same count from the source system; creating one of the gravest problems in MI - inconsistnet figures - instantly your DW has lost it's credibility!

A very important issue about data quality is the awareness of the business of the importance of the registration of correct data. This awareness is not served by hiding all kinds of correcting and cleaning algorithms in the ETL. Given the choice it is far better to report incorrect values and improbabilities to the source data owners and let them correct if appropriate. Source owners will develop awareness of their links with other lines of business and develop a corporate awareness that is very valuable and a lasting contribution to data quality in the corporate data warehouse.

I definitely fall into the Larry English camp. Data quality problems speak to poor programming practices at the front end application, allowing for incorrect data to be entered beyond expected parameters or not allowing for verification at the point of entry. Correcting these problems at the point of moving the data to the warehouse is a exacting process but also allows for more flexibility and accuracy of the data within.
Of course, if one is only expectign aggregation to come out of the warehouse, then small errors are of no consequence, but if the small error prevents a whole set of data from being included in the aggregrated result, say an improperly coded department number, then the errors become much more problematic.
I work in the healthcare arena, and have many data quality issues to deal with caused by too many data entry loopholes in the applications recording the information. Though my warehouse is mainly used for aggregating care performance, we are now branching out to more detailed analysis of protocols and direct patient care costs, so we cannot allow for as many errors as we might with more aggregated reporting.
This is my personal opinion and not necessarily the opinion of the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Experiencing "Jesus and his nurses"
When Isaac Steiner, 7, died on March 6, 2013, after a 21-month struggle with brain cancer, his parents, Rob and Sarah Steiner '98, were devastated. Though the experience of Isaac's illness was agonizing, the Steiners found that having meaningful nursing care made a difference. As a tribute to their son and his nurses, they recently established a scholarship for Goshen College nursing students in the hope that recipients will provide the same kind of compassionate care that Isaac received.

Last time we checked in with the Ethiopian-American rapper Siimba Liives Long, he was gallivanting across the African savanna with a pride of lions. Earlier this week, he returned to the fold with his new release "Info-Red."
"This specific song is basically capturing an encounter with a person who brought a positive energy in my life at a time when I was involved in a lot of negativity," Siimba told FADER. "It means a lot to me, because anyone who has been involved in things such as hustling or violence always has a person who tries to be a positive influence on them. Even if we don't always listen, we do remember their words, and typically they hold a place in our minds/hearts."
Listen to "Info-Red" on SoundCloud and watch the hazy, crimson-tinged music video below.
Quotable Lyrics
Feed me your secrets and promises
I need both those for my confidence
Two in the morning the way that we zoning, you make it feel like the PM
Such a lioness the way you pull me in

Growing Minimalist Culture
Growing Minimalist Culture
Within the past few years, the minimalist movement has grown into its very own culture. From art and design to lifestyle, minimalism inspires a number of people across the world. People are realizing that the spaces that we live and work in are getting smaller. More people occupy a workspace and housing is shrinking in order to accommodate growing populations.
Minimalism is the necessary response to our growing world, and smart designers have capitalized on this by creating products and solutions that not only make our lives easier, but have a modern, artful aesthetic. There's a freedom in the minimalist lifestyle, which was created in order to escape the culture of excess. Distractions are taken away in order to focus on what is really important to a person. It's no longer about assigning meaning to all of our stuff, but assigning meaning to the right stuff.
We need much less than we think we need. – Maya Angelou
In housing, the compact house movement embodies this minimalism. People are finding ways to live comfortably – and even larger – with less. It's all about having the right furniture and appliances that work alongside your dwelling. For example, a Murphy bed can be a huge space saver, whether you are living in a studio apartment, compact house or even a 2,000-square-foot house. You only need your bed for eight hours of a 24-hour day. A Murphy bed can be tucked away during waking hours, creating more space in your home during the day. It's all about making the most of the space you have.
In addition to living more effectively, the minimalist culture has been proven to be extremely cost effective. People invest in home products that have a number of purposes, instead of buying separate products at higher prices. Small homes and apartments are also much cheaper to build, buy and rent. In fact, many compact house owners don't even have a mortgage. With the right products, furniture and storage options, a small space can instantly become roomy and comfortable.
Just because the focus of minimalism is having less, doesn't mean that minimalism has to be extreme. Instead of focusing on having the biggest and the most, minimalism's focus is on efficiency, what really matters and what is absolutely necessary to have in your life. The culture helps you to appreciate what you do have, understand your priorities, reduce chaos and live in a clean and organized dwelling. And as everyone tries to minimize stress and clutter in their lives, many turn to minimalism.

Corner protectors or Corner guards, protect corners in a building from damage and keep the corners looking good and new. Aluminum corner protectors are one type of corner protectors. They are made of about 0.08 inches thick aluminum and also come in different angles ranging all the way from 90 degrees and even 130 degree. This means that they protect the corners fully from any damage whatsoever and they also fit perfectly to the corner on which they are installed.
The aluminum corner protectors are very good because the material used to make them, aluminum, is very bright and shiny and does not only protect but also adds a good look and decor to the room. This is besides the fact that the aluminum is very tough. In a case where the building is used for industrial purposes, the aluminum corner protectors also come in handy since aluminums strong and not easily damaged. It is advisable to use the aluminum corner protector to ensure that the walls of the building remain in place and look great since it is very likely that the employee and the baggage bump into each other.
The protectors are in addition easy to attach requiring just some adhesive. Remove the back and the compress it to the corner and then using a mallet, let the adhesive stick onto the wall.
Aluminum corner protectors are available in different sizes. This means that a person can get one that covers just a small portion of the wall or the whole corner from top to bottom.
An example of an aluminum corner guard is the SLT. This type of protector is made of large amount of aluminum and is finished with satin. They are used for industrial as well as residential purposes. These protectors are installed in hospitals, hotels and parking garages just to mention a few places where they can be installed. The SLT Aluminum Corner Guards are either mounted horizontally or vertically on the corner of a wall to prevent any kind of damage. There are also mount corner guards that are made of an aluminum retainer and a vinyl cover and installing the protector is easy. One only needs to fasten the retainer onto the wall and then snap on the vinyl cover. This means that the cover is replaceable. Absorbs shock when the corner of the wall is hit as a result of the combination of the vinyl cover and the aluminum retainer.
Pre-Anodized Aluminum Corner Protector are mainly used to guard corners that are in the outdoors, but for the indoors it depends on one

Good news nummies – not only is it Friday, but my delusions of fall have finally become reality! It's cool and crisp and it reminds me of my Uncle Stewart's tailgate: Hot Damn and brown-sugar-hand-stirred-some-other-long-string-of-words-I-can't remember BBQ sauce (recipe still pending release) will make you forget that you're about to watch the Tigers get trounced. Again.
Anyway, another thing fall reminds me of is short ribs. Luckily, Morg passed this recipe along to me last week. And she didn't even wait until she finished eating it to send it over, so it must be cray-mazing. (I watched a lot of Project Runway last night, so I'm talking like a cranky, mid-30s drama queen. Please forgive.)
From Morg:
"This recipe calls for a tagine (which we randomly have) but I hadn't 'seasoned' the tagine (a three hour process) so I just used my dutch oven, which every chef needs. I'm obsessed with mine. I digress. This is a great meal for a Sunday or a holiday because it requires some hours on the stove, but it's so worth it. And it leaves a nice smell floating through the house all day long. I served this over homemade mashed potatoes (recipe linked to from the Williams-Sonoma recipe for the ribs). Very simple. And I used the KitchenAid mixer instead of mashing by hand."
One look through the ingredient list, and I was sold. I might suggest using one of The Chef's variations of mashed potatoes, but I could be biased, so whatever blows your skirt up. Either way, an all-day simmering situation makes my mouth water. And it makes me want to say – like an Akin at a tailgate – HOT DAMN HELL YES.
3 tbsp olive oil
3 3/4 lb. bone-in beef short ribs (6 to 8 pieces)
salt & pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 celery stalk, 1/4-inch dice
2 carrots, 1/4-inch dice
3/4 cup shallot, fine dice
1 tbsp minced garlic
3 tbsp tomato paste
3/4 tsp Aleppo chili, crushed
1 bay leaf
1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
1/2 cup beef broth
3/4 cup red wine
1 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
- Soak a tagine according to the manufacturer's instructions. Place the tagine on a diffuser over medium-high heat and warm 1 tbsp of the olive oil.
- Season the short ribs on all sides with salt and pepper. Dredge the ribs in the flour until evenly coated, shaking off the excess. Add half of the ribs to the tagine and sear until well browned on all sides, about 10 minutes total; transfer to a plate. Repeat with 1 tbsp of the olive oil and the remaining ribs.
- Reduce the heat to medium and warm the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Add the celery, carrots and shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Add the Aleppo chili, bay leaf, thyme, broth, wine, salt and pepper and bring to a simmer. Return the ribs to the tagine.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and cook, turning the ribs occasionally, until the meat is tender, 4.5 to 5 hours.
- Garnish the ribs with the parsley and serve immediately with mashed potatoes. Serves 4.

Residential Tower - Winner of the London Evening Standard's New Home Award for "Home or Development of Outstanding Architectural Merit"
358ft tall, bold and beautiful high-end residential tower overlooking London's prestigious financial district in Canary Wharf. The iconic new development, unhindered by neighboring buildings, has a prime location at the foot of the South Dock. Its stunning glass façade, reflecting the ever-changing light, is shaped by a strong contemporary concept and it represents a striking addition to London's impressive skyline. Each of the 125 apartments offers a magnificent water view, either of the South Dock or the River Thames. Each apartment also boasts its very own winter garden, beautiful, high contrast interiors and smart and stylish storage solutions.
The design highlights the two key aspects, east and west, by creating two crystalline forms, with the apartment plan driving the shaping of these forms. The widest elevations have a 1500mm winter garden across their entire width, clad in horizontal glass louvres. On the western façade, these louvres incline both outwards and inwards to create a cascade, a waterfall falling into the dock. The north and south façades are narrow with the crystals separated by the recessed glazed joint of the corridor. This joint expands at the ground level allowing each crystal to appear to be resting daringly on a single point.
A unique dock water comfort cooling solution is designed to be highly energy efficient, potentially saving homeowners 39% on costs and reducing carbon footprint by 23% compared to traditional technologies. It is the first time London Dock water has been used to cool a residential building, which also serves to safeguard the building's sleek appearance, as no unsightly and noisy plant is visible externally.

Gory stab-'em-up Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance will be supported by a significant chunk of post-launch content, developer Platinum Games has revealed.
News comes during a GTTV roundtable from E3 2012, where producer Yuji Kurekado confirmed that DLC is likely to include extra goodies such as new playable characters and missions.

"We don't have any plans for competitive online play or anything like that," he added.

Alcohol Poisoning Facts
Facts About Alcohol Poisoning
Many times teens are faced with the situation of themselves or a friend who has had so much to drink that they are on their way to suffering from alcohol poisoning. Some people laugh at the behavior of others who are drunk. Some think it's even funnier when they pass out. But there is nothing funny about the aspiration of vomit leading to asphyxiation or the poisoning of the respiratory center in the brain, both of which can result in death.
Alcohol is a poison. The symptoms of hanover (groggy, splitting headache, dehydration, and vomiting) are signs of alcohol poisoning.
Common myths about sobering up include drinking black coffee, taking a cold bath or shower, sleeping it off, or walking it off. But these are just myths, and they don't work. The only thing that reverses the effects of alcohol is time-something you may not have if you are suffering from alcohol poisoning. And many different factors affect the level of intoxication of an individual, so it's difficult to gauge exactly how much is too much.
What Happens to Your Body When You Get Alcohol Poisoning?
Alcohol depresses nerves that control involuntary actions such as breathing and the gag reflex (which prevents choking). A fatal dose of alcohol will eventually stop these functions. It is common for someone who drank excessive alcohol to vomit since alcohol is an irritant to the stomach. There is then the danger of choking on vomit, which could cause death by asphyxiation in a person who is not conscious because of intoxication.
You should also know that a person's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) can continue to rise even while he or she is passed out. Even after a person stops drinking, alcohol in the stomach and intestine continues to enter the bloodstream and circulate throughout
the body. It is dangerous to assume the person will be fine by sleeping it off.
Critical Signs for Alcohol Poisoning
• Mental confusion, stupor, coma, or person cannot be roused.
• Vomiting.
• Seizures.
• Slow breathing (fewer than eight breaths per minute).
• Irregular breathing (10 seconds or more between breaths).
• Hypothermia (low body temperature), bluish skin color, paleness.
What Should I Do If I Suspect Someone Has Alcohol Poisoning?
• Know the danger signals.
• Do not wait for all symptoms to be present.
• Be aware that a person who has passed out may die.
• If there is any suspicion of an alcohol overdose, call 911 for help.
Don't try to guess the level of drunkenness.
What Can Happen to Someone With Alcohol Poisoning That Goes Untreated?
• Victim chokes on his or her own vomit.
• Breathing slows, becomes irregular, or stops.
• Heart beats irregularly or stops.
• Hypothermia (low body temperature).
• Hypoglycemia (too little blood sugar) leads to seizures.
• Untreated severe dehydration from vomiting can cause seizures, permanent brain damage, or death.
Even if the victim lives, an alcohol overdose can lead to irreversible brain damage. Rapid binge drinking (which often happens on a bet or a dare) is especially dangerous because the victim can ingest a fatal dose before becoming unconscious.
Don't be afraid to seek medical help for a friend who has had too much to drink. Don't worry that your friend may become angry or embarrassed-remember, you cared enough to help. Always be safe, not sorry.
Tips on Peer Pressure
Tips on Peer Pressure
Alcohol gives us a fake sense of having fun, appearing sophisticated, and being a good communicator.
Where do we get these false images? From the alcohol ads and from movies. They aren't presenting reality. Just ask one of the 6.6 million children under the age of 18 who live with an alcoholic mother or father.
If you've tasted alcohol, think of the first time you tried it. What did you think of it? When I ask people that question, most of them reply, "I hated it," or "It was gross" or "yuck" or "horrible." I then ask if they ever tried alcohol again if they disliked the taste so much? We don't try a food we hate a second time.
Why do we ever try alcohol again, knowing we don't like it?
One reason and one reason only: PEER PRESSURE. Our friends are drinking. Or someone tells us it is cool. Or we think it'll make us look grown-up. DON'T FALL FOR THIS WAY OF THINKING! NOTHING THAT YOU DRINK WILL MAKE YOU COOL! YOU ARE WHAT'S COOL-YOUR REAL SELF! NOT THE FAKE PERSON THAT ALCOHOL MAKES YOU TO BE.
The alcohol industry knows that to attract young drinkers, especially females, they need a sweet taste; so they add lots of fruit flavor and sugar to the liquor so that you can't taste the alcohol. Isn't that nice of them? They take away the bad taste for us because they like us so much-right? Yeah sure. What they like is our money! Here are some helpful responses when you want to decline alcohol:
The following lines can deflect pressure in a funny way:
"I never drink before I'm drunk." (By the time they scratch their head and figure that one out, you can be on your merry way!)
"Not my brand."
"I'd rather hang loose than hangover."
"I don't need booze to loosen up. I just got it together."
"I'm allergic-makes my skin turn purple and I look like Barney."
"If I drank that, I'd probably forget where I parked my brain."
"You want me to barf all over your car? I don't think so."

Wearable technology is taking over. There are bras that tweet at you, dresses that help you fly, and now a ring that can essentially turn your finger into a magic wand.
While Ring doesn't have the most creative name, its functionality is pretty awesome. Connecting to phones and other devices, the electronically advanced band has sensors that allow wearers to control appliances just by moving their fingers. People can write texts by writing in the air or turn on the lights by drawing a lamp.
It's not the most beautiful accessory, but it might be the most functional. Logbar created a Kickstarter to fund the project, and with a month to go it has more than doubled its goal. Logbar was asking for $250,000 and is currently at almost $600,000.

Here are my picks for the Top Ten.
Here is to summer, beers, family...and good music!
#9 Can't Stop the Feeling - Justin Timberlake
The feel good song of the year. JT has been on a roll lately and this is a great, fun, happy, perfect summer song that is also a bit of a throwback. Love it.
#8 Boyfriend - Tegan and Sara
Top notch pop.
#7 Go Now - Adam Levine
Not a fan of Adam Levine or Maroon 5...but this is a great song off a great soundtrack....
#6 In A World Possessed By The Human Mind - The Tragically Hip
Almost a perfect Hip song..as if from their heyday. Complex and challenging,
#5 Drive It Like You Stole It
A spot on tribute to the 1980's off a nearly perfect soundtrack...this is just a great song.
#4 Love is Blind - Lapsley
Lapsley just gets better and better.
#3 Valley Clouds - Sam Beam & Jesca Hoop
Wonderfully bright and bittersweet.
#2 Stadium Pow Wow - A Tribe Called Red
This gives me goosebumps. Makes we want to stand up and applaud every time I hear it. An absolutely stunning piece of music that is both exhilarating and powerful.
#1 Formation - Beyonce
Is there really any doubt?
This song is a masterpiece on basically every level. A stunning, confrontational, angry, reverential, historic, amazing piece of art.
Perfect in every regard it has led to both praise and criticism and sometimes both had equal merit.
But this, whatever its supposed flaws, is as good as it gets.
Mesmerizing, beautiful, magnificent.... All Hail Beyonce.
"You know you that bitch when you cause all this conversation"
This is one for the ages.
See you all in December!

The three armed forces face a shortage of over 9,096 officers, with the Army topping the list, the Lok Sabha was informed on Wednesday.
In a written response to a question in the Lower House, Minister of State for Defence Subhash Bhamre said as of January 1, 2018, the authorised strength of officers in Army was 49,933, but it has 42,635 officers, which is 7,298 short of the sanctioned strength.
The authorised strength for the Navy is 11,352 officers as against the existing number of 9,746 officers, which is 1,606 less than the sanctioned number.
The Air Force has a shortage of 192 officers, Bhamre said, adding that it has 12,392 officers as against the sanctioned strength of 12,584 officers.
In response to another question on whether the government has received any proposal from China for a border defence cooperation pact, the minister replied in the negative.
He said an agreement on border defence cooperation between India and China was signed on October 23, 2013.
"No new proposal for a defence cooperation has been received from China," the MoS said.
He said the government has taken various steps to strengthen defence cooperation with China, including mechanisms to enhance military to military exchanges and ensure maintenance of peace, stability and tranquillity along the India-China border.
These measures include annual defence and security dialogue, exchanges at the level of border troops, border personnel meetings, meetings of the Working Mechanism for Consultation on India-China Border Affairs and agreements and protocols relating to confidence-building measures.
