Cashflow Problems Entrepreneurs and Employees Encounter

Sean:
Some of the struggles with, not just entrepreneurs but, people, in general, is about cashflow. What are some of the most common cashflow problems that entrepreneurs need to avoid and or that the ordinary people who are employees would that you know, that they need to avoid as well.
Tracey:
The first thing I see, especially with entrepreneurs, but it's certainly is prevalent on the personal side too, is just thinking, I don't need to worry about that. That's not my forte. I'm just going to ignore those numbers. I'm going to make money and it's going to work out. The second is I'm going to delegate it to somebody and then I don't need to look got it. So on the entrepreneur side, people are just saying, okay, bookkeeper, accountant, you handle that. I'm handling everything else in my business, personally, but they might get a financial planner and then just say, okay, that's it.
Was this post helpful? Share it if you feel like others may find it useful too:
Really I advocate for people to be accountable and knowledgeable about their numbers. It does not mean doing it alone. You certainly employ professionals to help you, but at the end of the day, you've got to be in charge of your life financially.
From a cash flow perspective, what is quite common, particularly on the entrepreneur side. that there's a little bit of a disconnect between that P and L that we were talking about, and the sales and then the cash flow cycle depending on the business.
Let's think about an event planning kind of business. We're going to have a wedding. If I'm the event planner, I'm going to charge you a 50% deposit to book me before the event and then you're going to pay me before I even execute on your wedding day. Versus other people may collect in full before they start delivering their products or services or another type, which is most common and creates the most check cast for all the challenges is, Sean, you can take my products home today and I'm going to send you an invoice and then you pay me later.
That later could be 30 days, 60 days, 90 days. So all of a sudden we've recorded these sales, but then the cash doesn't come for this time, way later. We've got this disconnect. So when we're thinking about cashflow, we absolutely need to think about what is the cycle of it. When does the money actually come and then does it correlate to when the money goes out. I know that from most business owners I work with, they're not making a profit. So there's generally not enough cash to cover all the expenses that need to be there. As you raised earlier, they're not getting paid consistently, which is an issue for them. They're not living up to the obligations of their family. It's certainly not why they went into business.
People go into business to make money. And sometimes they think that it's not going to be as much work as having a job. But that trade-off is you don't, you have to work a lot, but you also don't necessarily get that steady paycheck. That employment brings.
My best advice is start to understand that cashflow cycle. And when you actually start looking at the numbers regularly, you do see that there is a pattern and your business is going to be potentially different than someone else's. So you can't just start comparing yourself to somebody else. You've really got to look at it, the timing, and how things work with yours.
When you put it together, this much comes in this much. Usually there's going to be a hole at the bottom. The earlier you know, that you're going to have that shortfall. The more options you can brainstorm to solve the problem. Can you get a loan at the bank? Maybe you can call some of those customers who didn't pay you for a long time and ask them to pay you. Maybe you can put in some money, you have personally. All kinds of options can be brainstormed ahead of a problem. But if you're not knowing that it's going to come, all of a sudden, it's the day you got to make payroll and you don't have the funds to do it.
How to Become Financially Fit
When you're going to be starting to engage someone in helping them with their journey to becoming financially fit, I wonder how do you analyze or benchmark a person's or maybe an entrepreneur's financial fitness?
So the first thing I like to do when we're working together is I usually ask them what they know about their finances. Most times they tell me they don't know anything, which very quickly I find out it is not true. But the people are very lacking in self-confidence around that financial aspect. So just getting them talking about it. I like to look at the numbers.
I do an assessment using traditional financial ratios. I compare it to their performance year over year. I compare it to industry benchmarks and we talk through it and it gives us a really good opportunity to talk about number one: what are these financial statements? The one that most entrepreneurs may know is the income statement also called the profit and loss, P and L,
where you really have all your sales and then all of your expenses. That's the one that most entrepreneurs take a peek at. The other one that's very important is your balance sheet that shows all of the things that you own, all of your assets and all of the people you owe money to, and the equity or the funds you've built up in the business.
So explaining how those statements work and then–from an outsider's perspective, very objective– how do they stack up according to those ratios? And the interesting thing is that while I'm talking about what I'm seeing, they're able to fill in the gaps of the story of what was happening in the business because they knew how it felt.
If I start talking about liquidity, which is having cash to pay your bills, your short term obligations. And it's a really formal term. They'll remember that they had some cashflow challenges and things felt strained at that period of time when I'm talking about that in the numbers.
It's really nice to see the analysis, then their story comes together because between the two of us, we can then build on their knowledge and help them start to see how the numbers can help them plan for future things in the business.
Podcast: What are the Factors for Millenials Becoming Millionaires
July 31, 2019 By Sean Leave a Comment
As with all successful people, the grind is not done. Marvin Germo shares his plans, some of his recent investments, and his take on whether or not Millennials will become a force to reckon with in the near future!
Today, Marvin's current goal apart from traveling is to look for investment opportunities with high potential.
When it comes to his influence, he feels that his reach is already pretty high thanks to his YouTube videos. These videos reach more people than his talks and seminars and they can be watched anytime from anywhere in the world.
He is also promoting a digital bank, I.N.G., that is incorporating technology from other countries into the Philippines.
Again, Marvin emphasizes the potential that GCash has in the Philippines. He also states that he can highly recommend investing in either the stock market or in FOREX, as long as you're using your extra money.
When it comes to investment, it's not about what the best option is, rather it's about where your skills are.
There was news that around 70% of male millennials think that they'll become millionaires. Marvin thinks that this is realistically possible, but that ambition should be supported by the same amount of hard work.
A lot of people want to be millionaires but they don't put in the needed amount effort to result in that.
This is your dream. You should put in as much hard work as you can so that you can make that dream into a reality.
For Marvin, earning money should only be a bi-product of how much change you facilitate, how many people you help, and how many problems you solve.
The amount of problems you solve is the amount of business you get.
The number of people you help is the number of times you become generous; and
The number of times that you facilitate change is the number of steps you take in leaving a legacy.
A lot of rich people are such because they are innovators, they go against the status quo, and they strive to achieve change. The money that they get is just a source of validation.
Marvin would rather earn less while doing what he loves, instead of earning incredibly high while doing something he hates.
For most millennials to become millionaires, a lot of factors to happen. That includes either the upper percentage of the population becoming even richer, or there will be a paradigm shift which, in the current state of things in the Philippines, is highly unlikely.
A large factor is the percentage of middle-class people in the Philippines. It should not be just 30% rather it should be around 80% to 90%. When that happens, the situation where millennials become millionaires becomes much more probable.
Marvin believes that the best time to be alive is right now—because doing business is very easy. With the incredible digitalization of the world, there are so many ways to reach and sell to people.
Filipinos also have this mindset of preferring to work for foreign businesses just because they have a bigger salary. It's very hard to find and keep the right team members because of this very reason.
Most people tend to see local businesses as just a stepping stone to flower up their resumes so they'll have a better chance of getting into bigger foreign companies.
This tends to dirty the inner workings of a lot of companies because there will almost always be people who will make the team crumble from within—because they're not driven, and are self-serving.
That being said, I believe that it's the problem of both the team member and the entrepreneur. The team member is too focused looking for their ideal job, while the entrepreneur is too focused on finding the best team member.
Podcast: What does a Successful Stock Trader do Daily?
For someone like Marvin Germo, there is no such thing as an average workday, instead he decides what and when he wants to do things. We also discussed his views on outsourcing, leadership, and retirement! All this and more in this podcast!
Marvin Germo doesn't have what most people would call an average workday. For him, every day is different.
He likens his workday to the concept presented in the book 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferris. Knowing that everything can be outsourced, that living in an area where the cost of living is rather low, you can get to do a lot of things on a larger scale.
Again, Marvin highlights that he does this to enable himself to experience life on his terms.
Sometimes, he works until 2:00 in the morning, but there are also days wherein he won't do anything productive—and that's okay.
Working in the stock market takes a little less than 30 minutes, so that means Marvin can do a lot after it.
This freedom has led to Marvin living a rather healthy lifestyle. He still gets sick at times, but that only happens when he travels and he has to adjust to the time zones. There are also times where he feels under the weather, but nothing too serious.
Whenever Marvin feels sick, he just moves away from his desk and decides to rest. That's the freedom that he has with his career.
You can say that Marvin doesn't force himself to do anything. When he's excited to work, he will, but when he feels like lazing around, he would too.
The most notable time when he did force himself to work was when he was working on his book. It took him three months of his year.
One of the more tiring things for Marvin is the obligation to post a video every day. Creating content can get tiring especially since you have to think of new things every single day.
Of course, he still knows his priorities, so Marvin tends to skip a few days when he gets really busy.
Marvin particularly likes making videos because he has fun doing them.
With all that said, with his mostly outsourced team, Marvin still believes that leadership is significant overall.
Even though you're not directly interacting with your team, doesn't mean you won't have to be a leader for them.
Marvin also has this interesting mindset wherein earning money isn't based on how hard you work, rather on the value, you give.
He chooses to do the videos on his still, but when the time comes when it becomes tedious, Marvin is considering to outsource it as well.
The rise of automated processes also helped in making most of Marvin's tasks simpler to do.
When it comes to leadership, Marvin believes he learned most of his wisdom through experience. He also mentioned reading a lot of leadership books, particularly the ones by John Maxwell.
That said, he believes that leadership is about knowing yourself more. It's about knowing what your leadership style is and how you can incorporate it into your team.
For Marvin, the hardest part of a business is not your competitors, rather the people who are under you.
What's unique about him is that he is positively affected when he sees that the people around him are inspired by his actions.
Marvin also seeks advice from people who are mostly going through the same things he is. He doesn't have to be good at a lot of things, because he can always rely on others who are experts there for them. Instead, he focuses on being good at one thing.
Right now, Marvin considers himself to be semi-retired. He is now someone that doesn't need to work for a living.
However, he says that if you no longer have to work for a living, you will soon be working harder.
Sooner or later, you'll find something that you want to spend time on, you'll get better doing them, and then you'll make money through them.
Most people want to retire just because they don't like their job. But as Marvin says, after retiring, what will you do next?
Marvin Germo is a proud author of several books about the stock market. But interestingly enough, he didn't write because he wanted to. He wrote books so that he can satisfy the wants of people who live in other countries, or in other provinces in the Philippines that he can't do talks in.
He also treats his books as part of his legacy, as his contribution to Filipino culture that, years from now, will hopefully still be relevant.
On a side note, Marvin also thinks of his books as a means to change the minds of people, even those who just randomly pick up his book at the National Bookstore. It's a sort of intellectual asset that people can invest in for personal growth.
Podcast: How a Financially Free Person Learns and Practices Leadership
Join us in uncovering the growth journey of the Marvin Germo. Here we talk about his learnings, his mentors, and his unique mindset of ignoring positive and negative criticism. Before you think that this is bad, listen in on what It really means in this podcast!
Part of Marvin's growth journey involved reading books in the past. But since in-demand knowledge is incredibly accessible with YouTube, Spotify, and other streaming services, he tends to take advantage of those.
Currently, Marvin tends to look for various economic reports to study like a trade war and its impact on the U.S. or China. In-demand knowledge helps him absorb the wisdom that he wants to get on a certain day.
He doesn't look for books or audiobooks that can sometimes give you insights on a broad scale, instead, Marvin wants to learn things at his own pace, so he only looks for things that he wants to learn at any given day. He would rather take his time to research on the things he wants to understand.
Most of the time, Marvin watches speeches and interviews of the people that he follows, Mark Cuban, Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Kevin O'Leary, etc.
He also enjoys the show Shark Tank, because it's not only the pitches that he sees but the business philosophies of the people in the show—which to Marvin, can bring tremendous amounts of insights.
The start of Marvin's journey to success started slow and steady. Right after he graduated, he went out and interviewed different businesspeople and executives. He just asked them for their time, sometimes just for coffee, and he'd have a whole list of questions at the ready.
Marvin also shares that the biggest mistake of a lot of people is that they go to their rich relatives or friends asking for money—and that's something that you should never do.
Instead, go to your rich relatives, and ask them how they pulled it off.
The money you asked from them will be gone in a matter of time, but the wisdom that they'll give you will last a lifetime.
Marvin emphasized the importance of trying to learn from the success and failures of your friends and family, particularly the ones that have made it big.
Steve Jobs was an innovator that liked to challenge the status quo, and he is someone that you rarely see nowadays. For Marvin, Apple is not as good as before solely because Steve Jobs is no longer there. Marvin loved Steve Job's foresight—the fact that he thought of things that were decades ahead of his competition, is something that Marvin admired.
Steve Jobs may not be an investor, like Marvin, but he is still an incredible inspiration. The way he thinks, and the way he does things, were amazing.
That being said, Marvin believes he has a similar mindset with Mark Cuban because he's a businessman, a great investor, a public speaker, and a basketball fan. In some cases, they have very similar likes and routines.
A lot of people questioned Marvin's choice to not pursue a career in Engineering. For those people who thought he was wasting opportunities, he just told them that it's much more of a waste if you do something that will eat you up every single day. That's why Marvin chose to do something different and risky. Something that was harder, but gave me happiness.
Different people find happiness in different places. Some people find joy in working 8 hours a day and earning six figures, while others just want to grow and expand their business.
For Marvin, social media somehow counteracts this because most people compare their lives to others, and when you compare there is almost always a clear winner and loser.
In Marvin's words:
"The moment you start comparing yourself with others is when you'll start becoming jealous, or boastful.
The best thing that you can do is to know what you're supposed to do, know what you're calling is, know what your plans and goals are, and don't compare it with other people."
Marvin has learned to ignore what other people have to say about him—both the positive and the negative. He believes that too much positive feedback can lead to complacency, while even just one negative comment can destroy a person's dream.
It's very interesting how people in the world are more likely to spread negativity than positivity.
As Marvin said, when there's a whiteboard that has a small dot on it, people will focus on the dot instead of the whiteboard.
People seem to be wired to be more negative instead of providing a positive remark.
Marvin believes that a lot of people think that social media is destroying our ecosystem by letting people become bad.
But what people don't know is that social media doesn't change people—it just exposes who you truly are.
Social media provides a platform for people to say things while being under a veil.
To some extent, I think this will make it fairly easier to spot when a person is ranting about their work, or about some other facet of their lives. However, it also makes it so that more and more people become aware of what they're doing.
The same goes for influencers or anyone that has a social media following. No matter how bad your day gets, when someone recognizes you, you have this obligation to be as nice as you can because it can have a massive effect on your online reputation.
Podcast: Freedom or Financial Security with Marvin Germo
Marvin Germo is one of the best stock traders in the Philippines. His knowledge base is something that very few can compare with. That being said, his career was not all about money. Rather, it's about freedom. Listen to the podcast to learn more!
"Surround yourself with people richer than you and you'll be like them someday."
Marvin Germo is a stock trader. He loves his profession as it's one of the few careers that let you do things on your terms—he does what he wants when he wants to do it.
Marvin is a person that pursues freedom over security. He did so way back when he was young.
That being said, freedom always has risks involved, while aiming for security will provide you with a safety net—eventually leading to good stability.
Marvin chose the road less traveled by. His pursuit of freedom eventually provided him with the security that most people aim for. He is someone that has both financial freedom and security.
In his own words, "Freedom gives security, but security can not give you freedom".
Marvin can do these things only because he knows that he's already got all of his bases covered.
Comparing that to the usual goal of security—yes, you'll probably get what you want, but you won't necessarily have the freedom to do the things that you want to do.
This can be likened to the Golden Handcuff dilemma.
The dilemma is experienced by people who usually earn a lot of money, only to not be able to do anything with it because they're stuck in their current lifestyle. They have this 9 am to 5 pm job every day and they have to support a certain standard of living, that it almost seems like they're stuck in a routine.
Marvin does things in his own time. As much as possible, he doesn't have to be in his business, managing his people, instead, he prefers to have his time to himself.
He has chosen a lifestyle wherein he earns little, but has a lot of time, instead of the typical high paying jobs that leave people with little to no time for themselves.
You can see that he values his freedom well over the idea of earning a substantial amount of money.
As Marvin mentioned, the regrets that old people tend to have are not usually about the mistakes that they made, rather about the things that they could have and should have done in the past.
That is why he believes that freedom is highly significant. That being said, as a stock trader, Marvin does save up a lot of money, in preparation for the many other things that he wants to do in the future.
Right now, his current agenda is to travel. To him, traveling is a good opportunity to look for and find new investment opportunities.
While other people think of travel as an expense, Marvin sees it as a learning opportunity. I admire this mindset of his, always looking to learn, and always searching for the next investment.
One of Marvin's recent fascinations is with Facebook's stocks because of the rising integration of digital into the real world. He also mentions that he likes Globe's stocks solely for their heavy investments in GCash.
He states that in China, almost everything is digital. Payments are done through WeChat.
Marvin thinks that the new cryptocurrency of Facebook, also known as Libra, will allow payments through Facebook messenger and WhatsApp. The difference here is that WeChat/WePay only supports Chinese Yuan.
But since Facebook is the one doing it, it might become one of the most widely accepted cryptocurrency. Marvin further supports this by explaining that the usual cryptocurrency like Bitcoin is based on nothing, meanwhile, Facebook's cryptocurrency, Libra, is based on dollars—it's based on a fixed currency.
Marvin didn't start with stocks right away. Instead, he dabbled in things like businesses and mutual funds. However, once he tried and did stocks, he liked it so much that he just went with it.
He owed a lot to the 2008 crash where he learned a lot. He says that the urgency to learn is very different when your back is against the wall.
Dealing with stocks is not as easy as it seems. It's heavily based on your emotions. For Marvin, he has the added perk of having a high tolerance for risks. He says that you can easily manage your risks, but you can't manage your emotions.
Almost everyone that's in the stock market relishes when they're in the green—when they're making a profit, but when things go wrong, many people don't want to cut or sell.
But that's not how the market goes. There will always be times when you have to cut when you have to sell the stocks.
I believe that Marvin got into stocks because of a series of divine events. It was something that he never planned, but because of the market crash, and the relatively good luck that he had with his earlier trades, he was molded to become one of the most successful stocks traders in the Philippines.
Marvin admits that even if the market didn't crash, he would have still gone into stocks—though his learning curve would have been slightly slower.
It's also worth noting that he was one of the first 10,000 accounts in the stock market. Marvin has been blogging and vlogging about his endeavors in the stock market, and he truly believes that it's an opportunity that most Filipinos should take advantage of.
Marvin has his seminar about the stock market, Stocks Smart, and there he talks about how anyone can get into and make money out of it.
He says that instead of just being a guru that teaches people how to go around the stock market, he wants to be someone that encourages people to go along with him.
Right now, one of Marvin's main goals is to make the people who attend stocks smart better than him. He wants his students to become the next big players in the Philippine stock market.
Marvin is a very humble man. He doesn't need a lot of things in his life. He only needs the essentials. And his control over his wants is something that most people should integrate into their lives.
What he does can get tiring at times, but it never gets stressful. The only time that dabbling in the stock market gets stressful is when you put in the money that you need.
The Philippine population that does stock trading is only around 1%. But for Marvin, he thinks that we should expect the number to rise fairly soon because it's now becoming talked about fairly often.
Marvin believes that right now is the best time to invest in the stock market. The growth in online accounts has almost doubled in the past few years. Aside from that, the stock market has also become more accessible thanks to the presence of smartphones and laptops.
Getting Rich is Boring
January 27, 2014 By Sean 1 Comment
Been reading Rich Dad's Guide to Investing. He talks about having a plan if you want to invest, row and get rich. It's funny because recently I've been struggling about one of my teammates being restless in his/her stay with us.
This person wants to move out regardless of anything I could do. Being a leader who is in touch with my team, I feel really bad when someone in the team decides to leave. It's much like having a family member leave the family.
I read in the book that this is one of the reasons why people don't get rich and don't achieve their financial goals. It's because they are restless – wanting to move on from job to job or from business to business. Not having a real financial plan to follow.
It's just really sad to see that people today become more and more restless. Wanting to get rich quick. Wanting to get 'there' now.
Tragic.
I guess I'm writing this to remind myself that I should not be as attached a leader to people who have no real plan in life. I'm very attracted to people who do have plans for their lives. Who have goals and steps to get there. Those are the people I want in my team.
I try to teach my team these things. Some of them agree and learn. Some of them… Well.. May not.
It's alright. I guess these are one of the things that I have to learn as a leader.
People are different. There are extremely few people like me.
Perhaps that's also why I have a limited number of friends who are "business minded".
Now I understand what that term means. Those are people who want to be rich and actually invest the time, effort, and thought into being it.
Everyone wants to get rich but very few people are 'business minded'.
Welcome to the real world.
Getting rich involves a simple, mechanical, boring process of investing and managing cash flow. I'm in the early steps of getting rich. Someday soon I plan to be financially free.
Boring doesn't sound so bad afterall.
I'm not that Big on Finance
November 9, 2013 By Sean Leave a Comment
I'm doing everything to get wrap my head around personal finance recently. I tried investing in stocks (just a measly amount) as well as learning more about mutual funds. I'm going to invest in my first life insurance in a few days from now – I just need my mentor's input on it. I've also saved up for my emergency fund – in case anything goes wrong.
Some books I'm reading now about finance include:
No Nonsense Personal Finance by Randell Tiongson
Rich dad's Guide to Investing by Robert Kiyosaki
Very interesting books that shift my perspective from being just a specialist and thought leader in the SEO and internet marketing industry.Personal finance teaches me how to manage the money I'm earning as an SEO specialist and consultant. God has blessed me with an exciting SEO company. Cash flow is an integral part of that. I better learn where to put the money of the company where it will grow and produce and bear fruit so that I can grow the company faster.
The world of finance has a lot to do with numbers and analysis – it's not very far off from being an SEO analyst. It's very intriguing and easily likeable for a guy like me. I'm learning a lot with stocks right now as I try it out – but I believe I need a mentor to help me out in the latest and best way to play it right.
Stocks can be tricky. In fact, most of the conservative Chinese businessmen see stocks as gambling. It's not. It's an educated, sophisticated way to invest your money in the right company for the long-term.
Stocks can be traded – that's playing. Or it can be a source of investment. In any case, I want to know the fine line between investing money willing to lose in stocks and/or investing for long-term growth.
I've experienced some growth but it's not enough to conclude my intuitions. Sometimes intuitions can be wrong – very wrong. Stocks is more than just risk management. For beginners like me, it's also greed management. You shouldn't put too much in stocks especially when you're just a new guy trying it out.
Mutual funds seems like a good place to put some of my funds in too. It averages 8% per year which beats inflation. I'm trying to get my people to invest in these kinds of smart investments too instead of just putting their money on the bank. It's a whole new world to explore.
I'm thinking of holding a seminar targeting people like me – who are making money online and yet, we don't know where to put our money in so we keep spending and we end up saving peanuts. I think people will attend that seminar. It's still a long way to go but I'm sure it'll be well worth it if we can pull it off.
I should make a survey about it though – asking people if they're going to attend and if the rates are good for them. It'll help me draw co-speakers and event organizers. It's almost as good as money but my main goal will be educating people like me to become a success in their financial management.
Finance hits personal, business and vision – it's simply something that everyone needs to know.

The Humor Times: 20 Years and Counting!
By James Israel
Our very first issue, when it was called the Comic Press News, featured a four-page cartoon spread on the Gulf War, which was just winding down. Here we are, 20 years later, in three wars in the middle east (if you count Lybia). If more is better, I guess we're doing alright!
But, of course, we're not. The wars are dragging our economy down – which doesn't need any help in that department, as our own Wall Street has done a mighty fine job of that. Politics are more acrimonious than ever, not helped by extreme media elements that are more interested in starting and prolonging fights than in facts or seeking common ground and solutions.
The first solar voltaic panels were invented in 1954, but our government chose to invest in nuclear instead, and now we've got an energy crisis with no infrastructure in place for alternative energy to flourish. Nuke plants in Japan have come perilously close to melting down, oil wells deep in the ocean blow and we can't fix them, and we're approaching peak oil, as fuel prices continue to climb.
The economic crash caused by greedy unscrupulous types on Wall Street and in the major banking institutions is used as a reason to squeeze the poor and the middle class and to go after the unions, because "we need to balance the budget" and "share the sacrifice." The fact that the corporations that caused the crisis are making more profits than ever never seems to be raised, except in the alternative media.
Yes, times are tough. We need some comic relief sometimes. And that's why we're still here!
True, the Humor Times is no longer distributed free as it once was in the Sacramento area, but in a harsh environment for print publications, we've survived. The product is actually improved, with more cartoon styles by more artists, more columns and even some "fake news," a la The Onion.
If you've missed us since we converted to a paid circulation format over two years ago (available by subscription all over the world, and in digital format via the web), well, we're still here! Why not fork over a few bucks to get your favorite political satire publication delivered right to your door? You don't have to worry about missing an issue, nor do you need to go looking for it. And it's only about a buck and a half per month. I mean, c'mon.
We want to heartily thank those thousands who have subscribed, and kept us going in the process, as well as the advertising support we still get. Most issues don't have very many ads, but they help, and those business supporters are our heroes! This issue is an exception, as a lot of businesses jumped in to help us celebrate our 20th, and we thank them. Please tell them you saw their ad in the Humor Times!
Now comes the time to celebrate! On Friday, April 22nd, we're presenting the Humor Times 20th Anniversary Variety Show Extravaganza! Please come out and celebrate with us! It's a joint event with Access Sacramento, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary.
Doors open 6:30PM and the show starts at 7:00PM, in the Coloma Community Center auditorium, 46th & T, Sacramento.
The great political comedian Will Durst is headlining, and we've got a great supporting cast lined up! See the back cover ad for more info.
Advanced tickets may be had online at humortimes.com and in person at Access Sacramento, 46th & T. See you there!

9/16/13- Sledge Sisters fight again
Sister Sledge are internationally known for their hit "We Are Family" which was sung by Kathy Sledge, one of four sisters that made up the act. In 1989, Kathy Sledge left the group, while the rest of the group continued performing.
The current version of Sister Sledge has recently sued sister Kathy over her continued use of the group's name in promoting her own shows. The suit, filed in early-July, says that Kathy and her organization and management had billed an Australian tour and other dates as 'Sister Sledge Featuring Kathy Sledge' and 'Kathy Sledge of Sister Sledge' which is an infringement of the trademarked group name which is owned by the plaintiffs.
The suit goes on to say that the current group and name owner had offered to reunite with Kathy but was turned down. Sister Sledge alleges that Kathy's incorporating of the group's name into her billing causes confusion with the general public and that they have no control over the 'quality' of the performance being done under their name which could lead to harming of their legacy.
The group is seeking a permanent injunction against Kathy Sledge stopping her from using the group's name along with profits derived from the name and damages. No projected amount was offered.

Techniques For Providing Verifiable Security In Storage Devices
A verifiable security mode is provided for securing data on a storage device, such as a hard disk drive. When the verifiable security mode is enabled, only authenticated accesses to data stored on the storage device are permitted after entering a password. An end user is prevented from disabling the verifiable security mode. The verifiable security mode can be set to allow or disallow an administrator from disabling the verifiable security mode. The verifiable security mode can be implemented, for example, in firmware on a hard disk drive (HDD).

The present invention relates to storage devices, and more particularly, to techniques for providing security for the contents of storage devices, such as hard disk drives.
The enactment of strong privacy legislation at the state and federal level in recent years has put pressure on businesses to secure their data. Because of this legislation, it has become increasingly important for companies to prove that data is secure.
AT Attachment (ATA) is a standard interface for connecting storage devices such as hard disks and CD-ROM drives inside personal computers. The ATA specifications contain a security locking mechanism that protects data stored on a storage device, such as a hard disk drive. The security locking mechanism provides two passwords, a user password and a master password. The passwords are used to provide access control to the data on the storage device.
Access control is enabled by setting the user password with the Security Set Password command. Once access control has been enabled, a hard disk drive (HDD) automatically comes up into a locked state whenever it is powered on. In this locked state, the hard disk drive does not allow access to its data and accepts only a limited number of commands, such as Identify Device. The Security Unlock command with the user password unlocks the HDD temporarily until its next power cycle. When the computer is cold booted, the hard disk drive locks the data again. The access control feature can be permanently disabled by entering the user password and a Security Disable command, which can only be issued when the HDD is in an unlocked state. Once the access control feature has been disabled, a user can access the data on the HDD after reboot without entering a password.
The function of the master password is determined by a security level setting ("high" or "maximum"), which is specified when either of the passwords (master or user) is set. When the security level is set to "high", the master password can unlock the data in the event that the user password is lost. When the "maximum" security level is selected, only the user password provides access to the data. The maximum security level disables the use of the master password for accessing the data or turning off the security locking mechanism.
In the maximum security level, the administrator can only unlock the data with the master password after performing a Secure Erase of the disk. The Secure Erase command erases all of the data on the disk and disables the access control mechanism. The Secure Erase command can be issued either when the HDD is in an unlocked state, or after authentication with the master password when the HDD is in a "high" level of security.
The ATA security locking mechanism ensures that data is inaccessible as long as the security locking mechanism has not been turned off. However, because the Security Disable command can be activated with the User password, a business runs the risk that an employee may turn off the security locking mechanism before the data is lost or stolen.
Therefore, it would be desirable to provide more secure techniques for controlling access to data on storage devices.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a verifiable security mode for securing data on a storage device, such as a hard disk drive. When the verifiable security mode is enabled, only authenticated accesses to data stored on the storage device are permitted after entering a password. An end user is prevented from disabling the verifiable security mode. The verifiable security mode can be set to allow or disallow an administrator from disabling the verifiable security mode. The verifiable security mode can be implemented, for example, in firmware on a hard disk drive (HDD).
Other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become apparent upon consideration of the following detailed description and the accompanying figures.
FIG. 1 illustrates an example of a hard disk drive that bulk encrypts data stored on a hard disk, according an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 illustrates a state diagram that depicts a deployment process for a hard disk drive that be placed in a verifiably secure mode, according to an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 3 illustrates a system for checking whether a hard disk drive is functioning in a verifiably secure mode, according to another embodiment of the present invention.
The ATA security features described above provide some degree of data security. However, because the ATA security features are maintained in the basic input/output system (BIOS) of a computer, ATA passwords can be circumvented relatively easily, by actively swapping electronics cards, or with a brute force media scan. A typical mode of attack is to transfer the HDD to another machine, so as to bypass the operating system access control.
Data on a hard disk can be bulk encrypted to prevent these types of attacks. Bulk encryption can be used to enhance the level of data security protection provided by the ATA BIOS security locking mechanism. Alternatively, bulk encryption can be linked with some other access control scheme (other than ATA BIOS passwords). Bulk encrypting data prevents HDDs with customer data from being disclosed to unauthorized individuals.
For example, bulk encryption prevents unauthorized users from accessing data on an encrypted hard disk by using a brute force media scan or actively swapping electronics cards to bypass ATA security features that are controlled by the BIOS. Bulk encryption can also be used to enable a fast secure erase of data on a HDD, or to simplify the redeployment and decommissioning of used systems. In addition, bulk encryption can provide protection against reporting obligations when customer data is lost or stolen.
FIG. 1 illustrates an example of a hard disk drive 102 that bulk encrypts data stored on a hard disk, according to an embodiment of the present invention. Host operating system (OS) 101 communicates with hard disk drive 102 through an ATA interface 103. The ATA interface 103 is typically managed by software stored in the BIOS. ATA interface 103 controls access to the data stored in hard disk drive 102 using the security locking mechanism described above. Host OS 101 sends a password to hard disk drive 102 through ATA interface 103 to unlock the data stored in drive 102. Once the data is unlocked, host OS 101 sends read/write commands and data to hard disk drive 102 through ATA interface 103, and hard disk drive 102 returns data to host OS 101 through ATA interface 103 in response to the read commands.
Hard disk drive (HDD) 102 contains a system-on-chip (SOC) 104 that includes a cryptographic engine 105. Cryptographic engine 105 can be implemented in hardware, in software, or in both hardware and software. SOC 104 generates a bulk encryption key 106 from the ATA passwords. Cryptographic engine 105 encrypts data stored on disk surface 107 of a hard disk using the bulk encryption key 106. As a result, all of the data 108 stored on disk surface 107 is encrypted. Encrypted data 108 can only be accessed with the encryption key.
The basic input/output system (BIOS) in a client machine monitors and manages all ATA security commands issued to the hard disk drive (HDD). According to an embodiment of the present invention, security features in the BIOS can prevent an end user from either disabling the access control or performing a secure erase of the data on the disk without entering the master password. To enforce these constraints, the BIOS preferably always performs a Freeze Lock on the main HDD of interest in the system, regardless of where the system boots from. However, a determined end user can, in principle, circumvent any BIOS restrictions by removing the HDD from the system and installing it on another machine.
In addition to the BIOS based ATA security locking mechanism, additional security features can be implemented by firmware in the hard disk drive (HDD), according to another embodiment of the present invention. When the additional security features are enabled, the HDD is placed into a verifiable security mode that cannot be disabled. The additional security features place the HDD into a provably secure state.
For example, a hard disk drive can disable the Security Disable Password command to provide an additional security feature. When the Security Disable Password command is disabled, the hard disk drive prevents a user from disabling the user password. This additional security feature prevents a user from disabling the ATA security feature that requires the entry of a user password each time the computer is rebooted or reset. Thus, the user cannot get the HDD out of a secure state.
When the Security Disable Password command is disabled, firmware in the hard disk drive controller does not accept data accesses from the host OS after reboot or reset without a user password. If the user password is not entered, the HDD enters a locked state in which data access to the HDD are blocked. Alternatively, the hard disk drive can prevent an administrator from disabling the master password.
Even when the Security Disable Password command is disabled, a user is still allowed to change the user password after entering the current user password. The hard disk drive can impose further constraints by requiring that the user and/or master password have a minimum number of characters and/or a minimum number of specific types of characters.
As another example, the hard disk drive can be placed into a security mode that requires the entry of the master password to perform the Security Erase Unit command. In this security mode, the hard disk drive prevents a user from using the Security Erase Unit command to erase all of the data on the hard disk by entering the user password. The hard disk drive only erases all of the data on the hard disk when the Security Erase Unit command is entered in conjunction with the master password. Thus, only an administrator with access to the master password is allowed to wipe out all of the stored data.
As yet another example, the hard disk drive can be placed into a verifiable security mode that prevents a user from changing the master password using the Security Set Password command. In this enhanced security mode, the hard disk drive refuses to accept the user password to generate a new master password or to disable the master password.
FIG. 2 illustrates a state diagram that depicts a deployment process for a hard disk drive (HDD) that can be placed in a verifiably secure mode, according to an embodiment of the present invention. The specific details shown in and described with respect to FIG. 2 are illustrative examples that are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
A hard disk drive (HDD) configured to implement a verifiable security mode of the present invention provides a provable technique for securing the data stored on the HDD. In state 201, the HDD manufacturer turns the security features of the HDD off and enables bulk encryption. The HDD is then shipped to a PC original equipment manufacturer (OEM).
The PC OEM keeps the security features off and bulk encryption enabled in state 202 when it installs the HDD into a computer. The computer is then shipped to an end customer and provided to an information technology (IT) administrator. When the computer is initially received by the end customer, the HDD is in state 203. The HDD bulk encrypts all of the data that is stored on the hard disk(s) in state 203.
In state 203, the IT administrator can set, change, or disable the master password (PW). Also, the IT administrator can perform a secure erase of all of the data on the hard disk in state 203 by entering the master password. During a secure erase of the hard disk, all of the data is lost, and the HDD generates a new encryption key that is used to encrypt data stored on the disk after the secure erase.
The IT administrator can place the HDD in a verifiably secure mode (state 204) by setting the user password (PW). In state 204, the IT administrator can change the user password. The IT administrator can also set, change, or disable the master password in state 204. In state 204, the HDD continues to bulk encrypt data stored on the hard disk(s). The IT administrator can return to state 203 to disable the user password after he has entered the master password. The IT administrator can also return to state 203 by entering the Secure Erase Unit command in conjunction with the master password to securely erase all data on the hard disk(s).
In state 204, the HDD disables the Security Disable Password command. When the Security Disable Password command is disabled, the HDD prevents an end user from disabling the user password. Also in state 204, the HDD prevents a user from using the Security Erase Unit command to erase the disk with the user password. A secure erase of the data on the disk can only be performed by entering the master password. Thus, if the end user does not have the master password, the HDD prevents the user from disabling the user password or securely erasing the disk. Also, in state 204, the HDD prevents a user from setting, changing, or disabling the master password by entering the user password with the Security Set Password command.
After the HDD has been placed in state 204, the computer containing the HDD can be given to an end user (e.g., an employee of the end customer). The HDD is now in state 205. In state 205, the end user can change the user password after entering the current user password. Changing the user password is the only change to the security functions that the HDD allows the end user to perform in state 205.
State 205 is essentially the same state as state 204, except that the end user does not have access to the master password. When the HDD is in state 205, the end user cannot disable the user password or perform a secure erase of the data on the disk by entering the user password. The end user also cannot set, change, or disable the master password in state 205. Because the end user is only allowed to change the user password, the end customer can ensure that the data stored on the hard disk drive is encrypted and protected by the user password, even if the computer gets stolen.
In FIG. 2, state A corresponds to states 201-203, and state B corresponds to states 204 and 205. The HDD is in a verifiably secure mode in state B. In the verifiably secure mode, the end customer can prove that the data on the HDD is encrypted and protected by a password that cannot be disabled by the end user. After the HDD is placed in state B 204, the computer can generate a certificate as documentation that the HDD has been placed into a verifiably secure mode.
According to a further embodiment of the present invention, a vendor unique bit in the device configuration overlay (DCO) feature is set to disable the Security Disable Password command, the Security Erase Unit command, and the Security Set Password command, to implement the security features described above. These three commands can also be replaced with vendor specific versions having desired properties. DCO commands cannot be issued when the HDD security feature set is enabled, so the HDD remains in a secure constrained state until a Security Erase Unit command is issued with the master password. The end customer IT Administrator needs to create and enforce policies to ensure that all systems deployed within a company are placed into a constrained state, with the HDD security features enabled.
According to yet another embodiment, a hard disk drive of the present invention can irreversibly lock up in a verifiably secure mode if the user password and the master password are both lost. Once the hard disk drive has entered the irreversibly locked state, none of the data on the hard disk drive can be accessed, and the hard disk drive cannot be securely erased. The hard disk drive becomes completely unusable in the irreversibly locked state.
According to yet another embodiment, a hard disk drive of the present invention can be placed in a verifiable security mode in which an administrator cannot disable the master password after the master password has been set. In this type of mode, the hard disk drive permanently maintains itself in a mode that requires the entry of the master password (or the user password) after reboot or reset, once the master password has been set. An administrator can only change the master password after it has been set.
FIG. 3 illustrates a system for checking whether a HDD is functioning in a verifiable security mode, according to another embodiment of the present invention. According to this embodiment, a hard disk drive (HDD) 303 periodically generates signed logs or signed certificates that indicate what security and access control features are presently enabled on HDD 303. The signed certificates can be generated and unlocked using well-known public and private encryption keys.
A host operating system (OS) 302 receives the signed logs or signed certificates from hard disk drive (HDD) 303 and periodically transmits the signed logs/certificates to a server 301 that is connected to host OS 302 through a network. Server 301 determines whether HDD 303 is functioning in the correct security compliant mode based on which security and access control features are enabled. Server 301 also authenticates the signed logs/certificates to ensure that they were transmitted from the correct HDD 303.
For example, server 301 can check to ensure that the appropriate security features are set on HDD 303 so that the user cannot perform a secure erase of the disk or disable the user or the master passwords. If the HDD is not in the correct security compliant mode, the server instructs the host operating system to disable communications with the HDD until the HDD can be placed in the correct mode.
HDD 303 issues signed logs or certificates when certain security and access control features are enabled or disabled. The host OS 302 transmits the signed logs/certificates to server 301. Server 301 stores the signed logs/certificates in a forensic log 304.
According to another embodiment, only a signed request from the server 301 to the HDD 303 can cause the HDD 303 to change its access control state. The HDD 303 authenticates a signed certificate from server 301 requesting the HDD to change its access control state to ensure that the request is sent from an authorized source. Typically, server 301 sends a signed certificate to the HDD 303 in order to authenticate the server to the HDD, whereas HDD 303 sends a signed log to server 301 to authenticate the origin of the log.
The foregoing description of the exemplary embodiments of the present invention has been presented for the purposes of illustration and description. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the precise form disclosed. A latitude of modification, various changes, and substitutions are intended in the present invention. In some instances, features of the present invention can be employed without a corresponding use of other features as set forth. Many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teachings, without departing from the scope of the present invention. It is intended that the scope of the present invention be limited not with this detailed description, but rather by the claims appended hereto.

Japanese makers delivered novel twists in familiar shapes. Pilot startled with its Custom Urushi with a no. 30 nib, and its Japan-only clear Kakuno inspired a mild frenzy. Platinum ventured into fields of Lilas and Lavande. Early in the year, I welcomed a Nakaya Long Piccolo in awai murasaki from Aesthetic Bay. My next Japanese pen, also from Aesthetic Bay, came from Nakaya's sister company Platinum – the Platinum Izumo Bamboo Weaving Yokoajiro #10 Torafu. The how-it-was-made video is satisfyingly detailed.
I also picked up a friendly neighborhood maki-e dragon at the Stylo Art Karuizawa table, during the San Francisco Pen Show. Fitted with a no. 15 FA nib ground to a needlepoint by Mike Masuyama, it's a fierce addition to the heavy daily carry.
This trend shows no signs of declining – good news for collectors and those new to the hobby in search of the unusual. Collaborations enrich material and design thinking. Independent initiatives mean delightful approaches to standard shapes – Engeika's "lantern" take on the Platinum 3776, Bungbox's galaxy-bound Sailors. Classic and modern meet in fresh designs incorporating vintage materials. Newton Pens launched the Quapaw, Kanilea Pens introduced the Haleakala Silhouette.

Newton Pens Quapaw in koi acrylic, just chilling with a koi celluloid pen case.
This was a year of trios, it seems. Visconti Florentine Hills and London Fog said hello to the Crystal.
My Kanilea collection also grew by one.
Peg & Awl's Sendak won't fit many of my preferred fountain pens but I appreciate the design and construction. It carries my lettering and ruling pens. Bags by Rubbertree created the Pencordion, a deceptively simple design that secures pens of different girths.
Atelier Musubi is my discovery of the year, a diary at the intersection of principles and materials I hold dear: sustainability, responsibility, culture and heritage, painstaking craft. Hippo Noto shipped its Kickstarter-powered, textbook-thick Tomoe River notebook. Taroko Design experimented with heavier-weight Tomoe River and numbered pages. Nanami Paper came out with the Café Note, and reissued the Crossfield, much to the relief of hoarders (myself included). Life's Margin notebook remained a regular in my bag. For those not as keen on Japanese paper, many retailers carry Hahnemuhle's Diary Flex, a cover-and-notebook system. The paper manages light watercolor washes, ink in a waterbrush, fountain pens, and graphite with competence. My most unusual notebook adventure had to be William Hannah, Filofax, and matching Atoma and Filofax punches, all hauled home from London.
Below, a stack of Musubi diaries and a peek inside.
The Taroko Design Enigma became my "not-too-precious" Tomoe River choice.
While it's not my usual carry, the William Hannah A5 provides paper variety when I travel. In addition to the William Hannah refills, I stack Tomoe River, watercolor paper, even Yupo.
Platinum Classic Inks survived the lightfastness test (6 months facing the tropical sun) with some aplomb, and only a little fading. Artists can use it without too much worry. I would still not recommend any kind of direct UV exposure for ink-based work.
Butch Dalisay, the godfather of the Filipino pen community, wrote about Mark del Rosario and the first Filipino-made fountain pen in August. I count myself the happy owner of three made-by-Mark pens. One we call "the redheaded stepdaughter who lives in the basement," because he never wants to see it again. Another has multiple threads in the cap, which just makes it look cool. The third sports a fireblued, etched Damascus steel section. Four, if I include the modified Ranga with the triple-threat nib Mike Masuyama named "King Kong Eagle." We're not the only ones looking forward to Mark finally getting a breather from brain-doctorship to attend to pen making, which we all agree is more important than brains.
I discovered Hiroko through Instagram, and bought two Pelikans with kara-nuri work before I commissioned her to bring her artistry to a Newton Pens Prospector.
As you might have been able to tell from my Instagram feed, this intergalactic traveler goes with me everywhere. The creative director in me can't help but grin at this unorthodox application of my work skills. There will be more Bokumondoh in my future!
And, finally: Leighpod Products and Projects.
After many years of stretching my creative muscle for clients, it was both painful and rewarding to begin doing it for myself.
Leighpod Journal Guides made it to Common Room's shelves and Vanness1938.com's inventory.
Calibre Magazine and Cars and Calibres sponsored this year's Fountain Pen Day event at Commune, which I organized with help from friends. My fledgling event organizer skills and my nerves frayed but didn't break. We surpassed 110 attendees despite the rain and the hardly-moving traffic. I might even consider doing it again next year. Might.

Jeff Bezos donates $100 million to feed out-of-work Americans
San Francisco: Amazon Founder and CEO Jeff Bezos has announced to donate $100 million to US food banks to help them feed a growing number of out-of-job Americans during the ongoing new coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
In an Instagram post, Bezos said he wants to support those on the front lines at nation's food banks and those who are relying on them for food with a $100 million gift to @FeedingAmerica.
"Feeding America will quickly distribute the funds to their national network of food banks and food pantries, getting food to those countless families who need it," Bezos added late Friday.
Non-profit food banks and food pantries rely in large part on surplus food from a range of food businesses.
For example, many restaurants donate excess food. But during this time of social distancing, restaurants are closed, and many other normal channels of excess food have also shut down.
"To make matters worse, as supply is dwindling, demand for food bank services is going up," said Bezos.
Millions of Americans are turning to food banks during these difficult times as millions of jobs are at risk.
Some people, however, were not very happy with the contribution as it only composes about .08 per cent of Bezos' nearly $120 billion worth of wealth and assets.
Despite the criticism, Feeding America said it is "deeply grateful" for Bezos' "generous" gift.
"This donation, the largest single gift in our history, will enable us to provide more food to millions of our neighbors facing hardship during this crisis. Countless lives will be changed because of his generosity," Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, CEO of Feeding America, told WTHR.

Incomplete News Is Distorted News; Undermines US Values
By Peter Phillips
Dozens were kidnapped by roving gangs off the streets of their hometowns, disappeared from families, hooded, chained, repeatedly interrogated, incarcerated for years in military prisons, and then told it was all a mistake. Did this happen in Stalinist Russia, some South American military dictatorship, Apartheid South Africa? No, the gangs were special forces of the US Government operating with approval from the highest levels of the Pentagon, the victims Afghan civilians recently released from the Guantanamo military prison camp in Cuba.
The New York Times published an article April 20 reporting how 17 innocent Afghans were recently freed from Guantanamo prison after three and half years. "Several of the Afghans said in interviews that they had been told by American officers that they were being freed because they were innocent of any crime," the article reported. "The men would be given new clothes, turbans and travel money and allowed to go home," the paper disclosed.
Prior to the release of the Guantanamo prisoners last Fall, Seymour Hersh fully exposed the US's worldwide abuse of power and violation of human right in articles published in the Guardian and New Yorker. Hersh documented that Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, with approval from the White House, had authorized a special-access program (SAP) to go on global manhunts for terrorists. It was deemed OK to kidnap suspected terrorists and take them to countries that would get tough (torture) them during interrogations. Several hundred people captured wholesale in Afghanistan and transported to Cuba were deemed enemy non-combatants without rights of due process or coverage under the Geneva Convention.
The New York Times' story covers the release of the internees without Hersh's historical context of high level official approval. Additionally, the NY Times story fails to address coverage of how, in a country that supports due process and human rights, our military could take such tragic action violating the rights of these men and their families. Instead the story implies that the kidnapping of these Afghans was justified in that undoubtedly some of the prisoners were guilty. This is like rounding up the church choir because the minister was caught in bed with the organist.
Failure to publish the full truth regarding the release of the Afghan prisoners is a strong indication that the New York Times and corporate media groups in general are unable and unwilling to fully address human right violations by our own government. The broad publication of stories about the breach of human rights by our national security forces is inconsistent with corporate media's continuing desire to have 24 hour access to sources of news inside the White House, Pentagon and State Department. This failure of nerve to support the public's right to know and insure a transparent governmental process is undoubtedly giving America a black eye in the world community. Increasingly America is seen as an uncontrolled empire of power and abuse. For many in the world we are the Darth Vaders of the planet - pure evil incorporated.
Non-Americans know that the people in the US do not approve of these practices. We must, however, openly share their outrage and demand that America hold to our values of due process and human rights. To do this we must support media that address these issues. We need a media that post and recognize the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights in every newsroom. Anything less cuts at the very soul of the American people.

How High Is a Baby's Fever When Teething - Any parent will tell you that babe teething makes for an attempting time. Restless nights, feeding issues Associate in Nursing irritability will all be half and parcel once an infant's baby teeth erupt through their gums.
Baby teeth (also called milk or deciduous teeth) begin to make terribly early within the gestation – regarding eight weeks once conception. By the time the baby is born, all twenty teeth square measure gift in her jawbone.
These teeth begin pushing up through the gum tissue once the kid is around six months recent. By age 3, most kids can have their full set of baby teeth.
Deciduous teeth permit the kid to start the method of digestion by grinding solid food up before it's enclosed.

Parents usually blame a variety of diseases on teething. A study from the Royal Children's Hospital in Victoria found that seventieth to eighty fifth of Australian oldsters believed teething caused a large type of health issues together with fevers.
But many studies that followed youngsters through the teething method found no measurable amendment in temperature on the day a tooth erupts or within the 3 days leading up to the present.

So as before long a child's initial tooth emerges, you'll be able to gently brush their teeth to guard them against decay. Use a clean, damp face washer or a soft toothbrush and low halide dentifrice every day.

It's 2019 and free-agent infielder Manny Machado promised to make his decision after the new year. We're waiting.
Given a choice between the two, I would prefer Bryce Harper over Manny Machado. I have explained the reasons ad nauseum and, hopefully, please, please, please one of the two will sign with a new team soon in order to stop the speculation madness. Manny, you promised you'd come to a decision after the New Year and, just in case you missed the glitzy ball drop in the Big Apple, it's 2019.
Make up your mind already. You have grown men reading Tweet leaves trying to figure out what you're going to do.
Uh, oh, he's following the YES Network on Instagram. That must mean he's about to sign with the Yankees. Wait a second, the Yankees have signed the oft-injured but incredibly talented Troy Tulowitzki. Maybe that means Manny is leaning toward the Phillies.
It has been clear for some time that the Phillies' first choice is Machado and it's safe to assume they have an offer on the table. It will not be the end of the world if Machado pledges his allegiance to the Yankees or stuns us all and signs with the Chicago White Sox, where he would become teammates with his brother-in-law Yonder Alonso.
In fact, if Machado does make up his mind in the near future and opts to go somewhere other than Philadelphia, it would open the door for the Phillies to go hard after Harper. NBC Sports Philadelphia reported that the Phillies plan to meet with Harper out in Las Vegas in the near future. Of course, there is also speculation that neither Machado nor Harper really wants to play in Philadelphia.
Hall of Fame pitcher Jim Palmer of the Baltimore Orioles ripped free-agent infielder Manny Machado when he did not run out a ground ball during the 2018 NLCS.
In theory, all this Hot Stove publicity is good for baseball, but at some point you have to wonder if people are growing tired of waiting to find out where these players are going to get their "stupid" money. MLB cannot compete with the NFL on its best day and pro football is about to begin the best tournament in sports.
Please forgive the mild rant. Let's get back to the subject of Machado. While it sure sounds as if his dream scenario is to play in the navy blue pinstripes, there also seems to be a sentiment among a lot of Phillies fans that they could care less if Machado ever plays a home game at Citizens Bank Park.
Much of it is fueled by Machado's turbulent postseason during which he became forever known as "Johnny Hustle" and was also called a "dirty player" by National League MVP Christian Yelich after clipping the ankle of Milwaukee first baseman Jesus Aguilar in Game 5 of the NLCS.
The social media attacks against Machado were relentless with the most noteworthy coming from Baltimore TV analyst Jim Palmer, the Hall of Fame pitcher for the Orioles who watched Machado play his entire career before being traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers last season.
Plenty of people have piled on Machado since, but let's make this a local story. Which Phillies superstar in recent history was most often criticized for a lack of hustle? Hint: Google Jimmy Rollins and lack of hustle.
Now answer these questions: Do you remember Rollins more for his lack of hustle or for being the best shortstop in franchise history? Would the Phillies have won the World Series and five straight division titles without him?
It's funny that Machado was also called a dirty player. Which Phillies superstar in recent history was most often criticized for being dirty? Hint: Google Chase Utley and dirty player.
Just a day before the Aguilar incident, Machado took out Brewers shortstop Orlando Arcia in an attempt to break up a double play. After a replay, it was decided he had violated the new "safer" slide rule and the runner at first was also ruled out, resulting in a double play. That slide rule, in case you have forgotten, is named after Utley for his slide during a postseason game against the New York Mets in 2016.
Answer this question: Was Utley a dirty player or merely a great one who played the game hard?
The hope, of course, is that Manny Machado learned from his postseason mistakes regardless of where he lands in free agency. He's not the first 26-year-old to do and say some stupid things. Machado is, however, one of the most accomplished 26-year-old players in major-league history. Only 25 players had more home runs at the age of 26 than Machado's 175 and 12 of them are in the Hall of Fame.
As difficult as Machado's postseason was with the Dodgers, he still hit three home runs and knocked in 12 runs in 16 games. He's a superstar entering the prime of his career and coming off the best season of his career. It is just plain foolish not to want him.
