2015 – A New Dawn For LGBT Rights?
Posted on October 20, 2015 by Cambodian Center for Human Rights
Recent developments have stoked optimism that 2015 could be the year that heralds a promising new era for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender ("LGBT") rights in Cambodia.
As a whole, the status of LGBT rights in Cambodia is in a somewhat confused state; whilst there are no explicit laws that directly discriminate on the basis of Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity ("SOGI"), equally no legislation exists that provides for equality. Furthermore, the absence of legislation is compounded by societal forces which are often unaccommodating to a person's SOGI, frequently resulting in discrimination.
Globally, a number of significant events in 2015 highlight the worldwide advancement in the recognition of LGBT rights. Particularly noteworthy was the decision in June of the US Supreme Court that the refusal to grant marriage certificates to same-sex couples was unconstitutional, thereby conferring legality nationwide on same-sex marriage. Furthermore, the following month Italy incurred the wrath of the European Court of Human Rights, the court ruling the country's prohibition on recognizing civil unions or same-sex marriages constitutes a violation of human rights. Meanwhile, 2015 also saw the decriminalization of homosexuality in Mozambique, making it one of the few African countries where same-sex relationships are legal.
Perhaps the most significant development was the passage of Nepal's new constitution, which enshrines into law the recognition of genders other than male and female, and bans discrimination by state and judicial authorities against those from "sexual and gender minorities." In doing so, Nepal became the first ever country in Asia to adopt equal rights for LGBT people into its constitution.
It is hoped that events in Nepal can prove a catalyst for change in Cambodia. Indeed, even before the adoption of Nepal's constitution, there were tangible signs indicating the Cambodian Government may be slowly becoming more receptive to LGBT rights. In particular, the 2007 update of the Civil Code which removed the explicit ban on same-sex marriage and adoption can be seen as an example of this changing dynamic.
In response to Nepal's news, a government spokesman affirmed that same-sex couples were free to marry in Cambodia. When challenged by civil society organizations and businesses, including CCHR, to introduce specific legislation pertaining to LGBT people, the government responded by stating that the LGBT community should continue to petition for such a law if they want to achieve its realization.
It is hoped that in response to such pressure from civil society, the Cambodian government will seize upon the opportunity to become a beacon for the furtherance of LGBT rights in Asia and at the same time boost the country's international image and economic interests. Maybe, just maybe, 2015 will prove to be the turning point………

The Jerusalem Crisis Intervention Center (JCIC) is saving young lives in a city with the highest rate of youth trauma in Jerusalem. Hadassah Australia was responsible for its founding and funding support. Many of the young clients who come to the JCIC have a time-critical need. As the name implies, the centre was established to deal with the high rate of youth trauma in Jerusalem, the highest of any city in the country. The JCIC, which opened in 2006, is a division of Hadassah University Medical Center's Unit of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Until then, the waiting time for young people to access public mental health services in Jerusalem was up to 12 months. Its Director is Dr Esti Galili, an inspirational leader in her field who heads a team of dedicated professionals that are unsurpassed in Israel. Dr Galili says:
"The mission of the JCIC is to significantly improve the health and well-being of children and adolescents of Jerusalem. We operate a walk-in crisis centre where our young clients suffering from early stage post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and psychological stress can seek immediate evaluation and treatment."
The JCIC provides:
Vital early screening
Short-term intervention
Tailor-made treatment plans in crisis intervention – identifying the special needs of each child and integrating appropriate therapies
There was a desperate need for an alternative service for children in psychological distress, and while the JCIC provided that service, it was Hadassah Australia that provided substantial funding to ensure its operational viability. The partnership has endured successfully ever since, something that we are incredibly proud of. As with Hadassah Hospital, the JCIC has an open-door policy and provides effective treatment options for children and youth, and their families, irrespective of their race, religion, nationality, gender or financial status.
Case Study: Rachel
Rachel is a 10 year-old girl who recently made aliyah with her parents, Ilana and Yossi. They were walking along Herzl Boulevard, when a car driving at high speed mounted the curb and smashed into a group of people standing at a bus stop. It happened barely 20 metres away and if not for Rachel's insistence on picking up a coloured bauble she found on the footpath, they could have been in the group…
While everyone was physically okay, the emotional response in Rachel was frightening. Within a matter of days she became unresponsive, refusing to leave the house or even take a shower alone.
The emotional response in Rachel was frightening. Within a matter of days she became unresponsive.
Fortunately, Rachel's school was aware that Hadassah Hospital is the home to one of Israel's jewels in dealing with childhood trauma: the Jerusalem Crisis Intervention Center. This internationally-acclaimed centre is an Israeli leader in the treatment of psychologically-damaged and traumatised kids. The psychologists at the JCIC reassured Rachel that it wasn't her fault; no-one could have predicted this lone wolf attack, be it the timing or the location. They knew from bitter experience what was needed to support the family while introducing an appropriate therapeutic regime for the child.
"Rachel felt powerless and was traumatised as a result of witnessing a terror attack. The JCIC helped bring our girl back to us."
Ilana, Rachel's mother.
Rachel is one of more than 2,000 victims of terror who have been treated at the JCIC over the last 10 years. The upsurge in violence over the last nine months has put enormous strain on the JCIC's resources. Your generosity will help Rachel, her family and many others like them make the difficult and challenging journey back to sound mental health and provide vital relief from their psychological stress. As Rachel so movingly wrote in her letter to her JCIC therapist, " I feel that I am fine and I started my life again… because you helped me to pass the hard life. I know I won't forget the terror attack but at least I don't think about it every day and every time…"

Healing and Environmental Garden
Hadassah's Healing and Environmental Garden on the slopes of Mt Scopus is an example of how lives can change for the better.
Disorders of Sexual Differentiation (DSD) are misunderstood in Palestinian society, so its management is a huge challenge from a medical, surgical and psychological standpoint.

Staphylaea staphylaea (common name: the stippled cowry) is a species of sea snail, a cowry, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Cypraeidae, the cowries.

There is one subspecies : Staphylaea staphylaea laevigata Dautz., 1932.

Description

The shell of Staphylaea staphylaea reaches a size of 7 – 29 mm. It is oval, the dorsum surface is pale greyish with a thin longitudinal line in the middle, many small round protuberances and two brown areas at the extremities. The base is pale brown. The small teeth are extended to both sides of the entire base. In the living cowries the transparent mantle has an orange coloration, with long finger-like projections.

Distribution

This species is distributed in the Red Sea and in the Indian Ocean along Aldabra, Chagos, the Comores, the East Coast of South Africa, Kenya, Madagascar, the Mascarene Basin, Mauritius, Mozambique, Réunion, the Seychelles, Somalia, South Mozambique, Tanzania and in Polynesia and Australia.

Q: Haskell type synonym issue This gives me the following error

Not in scope: data constructor Blah

Why? I thought that I can use the type synonym everywhere I can use Person
data Person = Person { weight :: Int, height :: Int }

type Blah = Person

person1 :: Blah
person1 = Blah 80 187

A: You've aliased the type Person to the name Blah, but the constructor for Person is still Person {weight :: Int, height :: Int}.  Type constructors and Type names are different and are even kept in different namespaces in Haskell.
As an example:
> data MyBool = MyFalse | MyTrue deriving (Show, Eq)
> type Blah = MyBool

Here the constructors for MyBool are MyFalse and MyTrue, each with kind * (no type parameters).  I then alias MyBool to Blah:
> MyTrue :: MyBool
MyTrue
> MyTrue :: Blah
MyTrue

This should help enforce the idea that while a type's constructor might share the same name as the type itself, they are not the same things.

A: In the hottest GHC 7.8 you could write in such manner:
{-# LANGUAGE PatternSynonyms #-}

data Person = Person { weight :: Int, height :: Int }

type Bar = Person     -- type synonym
pattern Baz = Person  -- constructor synonym

person1 :: Bar
person1 = Baz 80 187

But sure, don't forget Person is a type and Person ia a constructor and both are in different scope.

You don't need to be elected to tell folk what they can and cannot do.

If you read only one section in this book, let it be this one. Copy it, highlight it, or place a bookmark in it, but come back to it. It's the best refresher on keeping your marketing on course.
Periodically compare your practice performance to your original plans. First, identify your ultimate goals, what you hoped to accomplish—for clients and for yourself—financially, professionally, and personally. Do they still hold true? Is what you're now doing a career or an interim step? Will your findings change the potential clients you plan to target and the development of your marketing plan?
Examine your role in the consulting industry; determine the part you want to play. Does it conform to how you want to lead your life? By looking to the future, you can find guidelines that will motivate you to take the steps you need to succeed.
Define your market and thoroughly research it from top to bottom. Understand the competitive environment and identify your rivals' strengths and weaknesses. Discover what the market and potential clients need. Find hot-button issues you can address, but don't select too many targets. Choose an industry segment or a group of companies to target even if you specialize in a specific business function, such as finance, fulfillment, or production.
Concentrate your efforts on markets that need your expertise or are underserved. If you enter a crowded market, be prepared to make a marketing splash to overcome the advantage held by incumbent firms.
Consultants tend to market their services similarly: Their materials look the same, contain the same words, and provide the same charts. Even their Web sites and brochures look alike. However, consulting is a huge industry filled with many highly branded and talent-rich firms. Use their marketing similarity to your advantage; distinguish yourself because most clients are looking for fresh ideas.
Resist temptation and don't look at other consultants' marketing materials until you've developed your own concepts. Create distance, stand out, be provocative, and don't worry about alienating potential clients. Those who may be offended are probably companies you should avoid. Offer something special and different, or you won't get business. It's that simple.
Your marketing plan identifies you and the value and approach you bring to the market. It describes, in direct, simple terms, your firm and your ongoing marketing program. It forces you to boil down your marketing ideas to their essence and to express them so that clients, potential clients, consultants, and collaborators can clearly understand your meaning. Your marketing plan is the centerpiece of your marketing approach and determines how you'll be regarded in the market.
Focus on your Web site and identify other sales tactics, such as speaking, writing, publishing, and publicity. Choose weapons that will spread your message through various media outlets. Identify the members of your staff who will be responsible for the various elements of your campaign, including design, execution, and measurement. Determine the order in which you plan to launch each marketing initiative and coordinate it with the rest of your campaign.
Don't kick off all your marketing measures at once. Instead, stagger your initiatives and execute your plan methodically to obtain frequent exposure over an extended period. Don't blow your entire budget all at once or prospective clients will soon forget about you. Keep reminding them and they'll not only notice you, they'll give you credibility and accept you as a viable player in the industry.
Identify how and when you would like to launch your program to market your consulting services. Design a precise, step-by-step listing of how you wish to proceed, but make it flexible enough to accommodate change. Build in substantial lead time so that you can prepare and coordinate all items entered on your calendar. Write a separate plan for the preparation and testing of your marketing materials before your campaign begins.
Follow your marketing calendar even if it doesn't seem to be producing results. Avoid the temptation to alter it for at least a few months. If you have designed it carefully and thoroughly tested it, the plan should work, so give it time. At some point, your program should begin to create momentum and build, but the process may be gradual and take more time than you expect.
If, after some time has passed, it seems clear that a part of your marketing plan is not working or generating the momentum you need, see what you can add to get it going. If that fails, change course and move in other directions.
Implement all items at the times designated on your marketing calendar. Your clients and prospects will expect—and hopefully look forward to receiving—your zine, articles, and other materials. Meet your deadlines; plan ahead. Anticipate when projects, proposals, or other interruptions could demand your attention and try to stagger them so they won't arise when you're putting out your zine or writing an article.
In marketing, consistency and continuity pay big dividends. If you suspend or delay your program, you risk losing the benefits of the exposure you've worked so hard to get. Keep in mind that your competitors will still be marketing. In fact, in your absence, they may even step up their marketing efforts.
Identify which of your marketing approaches are working and which are not. Also determine how well they're doing. Many consultants don't track the return on investment from each of their marketing efforts. Instead, they assume that when a program creates leads, it's worth the investment.
Monitor how well each marketing initiative is serving to bring in leads. Any efforts that are not producing leads should be reassessed. A consultant who wrote a series of articles for a human resources magazine received responses only from readers who were searching for jobs. When the consultant broadened his focus and published pieces in other industry journals, leads poured in.
Sooner or later, every plan needs revision. Conditions always change and your plan must be flexible enough to address the new order. Review the results of your marketing efforts every quarter and add or subtract weapons from your arsenal accordingly. Also consider changing your order for rolling out various marketing initiatives. On the basis of your review, you may decide to offer new services or employ new market weapons.
These three words represent the difference between those who sell a few projects and those who build sustainable, profitable consulting practices. This is a great time to be a consultant. More than ever, clients need help, and they are open to the new ideas and approaches that you can supply. Let guerrilla marketing lead the way and help you finish first.

History Major Receives First Retirees Association Scholarship
by Annie Tracy Samuel November 2, 2019
UTC History Major Jim Fry is the UTC Retirees Association's first-ever scholarship recipient.
Read the story about Jim and his journey to UTC below, and scroll down for the video story.
(This story was originally published by UTC Communications and Marketing on October 8, 2019 with the title "UTC newcomer receives first Retirees Association scholarship")
Jim Fry in Angela Dittmar and Laure Allen's Innovations Lab, Monday, Oct. 7, 2019 in Guerry Center.
Appearances can be deceiving.
People often see silver-haired Jim Fry on the UTC campus and mistake him as a faculty member. It makes him smile, but then he explains that he's a junior majoring in history. At 53 years old, Fry is the true definition of a non-traditional student.
He has only been going to UTC for a couple of months, but his efforts are already being noticed. After arriving on campus this semester as the Tennessee Board of Regents Outstanding Community College Student of the Year for 2019, the UTC Retirees Association has selected him as its first-ever scholarship recipient.
"This is truly an honor to be recognized. It was sort of fun for me because I was thinking how ironic it was that they had selected somebody who was close to retirement," Fry said with a laugh. "My commitment [to education] isn't driven by this kind of recognition, but it certainly continues to inspire me to do the best I can do. I'm motivated from inside, but I'm also proud of the motivation that I receive from knowing that other people are investing in what I am doing."
Raised in upstate New York, Fry initially had little interest in attending college. Music was his calling, and he couldn't rationalize how algebra or writing essays or studying science had anything to do with becoming a musician. Then his father was diagnosed with colon cancer.
"Things became really tough at home, and I was involved in helping take care of him," Fry said.
Seven months into his freshman year at Schenectady County Community College, he put aside college in order to put his family first. After his father got better, Fry pursued his passion and began a career in church music. By the time he was at his peak, he was playing for some of the largest churches in the area, which then led to a long stint as a minister in the Methodist church.
Early on, he met his wife of nearly 30 years, Peggy. The Frys have four children: Nick, who graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute with a degree in physics; Nate, who graduated from Pratt Institute with a degree in industrial design; Sam, who graduated from Alfred University with a degree in mechanical engineering; and Allison, who graduated from the State University of New York at Albany with degrees in sociology and English.
Fry had the opportunity to share in his children's academic successes, but it often bothered him that he didn't have a degree of his own.
"Sitting through all of those graduations put the bug in my ear to go back to college," he said. "I was proud of the kids, and I'd seen how hard they had worked, but there was always a nagging feeling that I never did that. I never graduated from college. I never got the opportunity to put on the cap and gown and walk across the stage."
Not long after his daughter's graduation, he decided it was time to make his own journey. Jim and Peggy relocated to Chattanooga six years ago after his wife was offered a position as a compliance officer at BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee. Fry was nearing 50 and ready for the challenge of going to college.
"I was sort of at a period where I had achieved many of the goals that I had set for my life with one exception, and that was education," he recalled. "As I said, I'm extremely proud of the kids, but it was just at that moment I said, 'I think I have the time. I think I have the motivation. I think I'm certainly much more mature now. I'm going to give it a real college try, as they say, and do the best I can.' The outside pressures that were there years ago weren't there. With the support of my wife, it's been a thrill to go back and to see such great results."
Fry began his academic studies at Chattanooga State Community College, earning an associate degree and graduating with a 4.0 GPA. Financially, he benefitted from the Tennessee Reconnect Act, which establishes a scholarship for adults to attend a community college tuition-free.
At UTC, though, his college expenses are largely out-of-pocket. Fry said the Retirees Association scholarship is greatly appreciated.
"I'm not qualifying in years three and four for a Tennessee Reconnect Program or a HOPE scholarship or a Promise scholarship. My wife and I are pretty much just paying for this out of our checking account," he said. "This scholarship has a significant impact as I continue to shoulder the expense of going to school without the typical scholarship help that might be available for younger folks.
"I can't express how much [this scholarship] means to me and how exciting it is to be part of this university. Being part of the campus has made me feel much younger, and it's really exciting to be around that kind of energy of learning new things and being part of new experiences."

Pavia province's wealth of water is not limited to the rivers which pass through it but also includes the unequalled hydro-mineral heritage which has led to the creation of four spa complexes taking maximum advantage of the beneficial properties of the water.
Salice Terme, Rivanazzano Terme and Miradolo Terme: hot waters, water therapy cures, muds, masks and massage therapy in natural medicine which takes full advantage of the mineral properties of the land and its springs with detox, revitalising and mind and body equilibrium therapies.
In Pavia province the concept of thermal spa is linked to the collective wellness ideal, symbolised by concepts such as relaxation, looking after oneself and harmony and linked to special places and steam rooms with huge baths, mosaics, ancient practices and knowing hands.
This is what a spa bath holiday means. Each type of water - sulphurous, saline, ferruginous and bituminous - corresponds to a specific type of therapy which today, thanks to new techniques and scientific knowledge, is increasingly well targeted and satisfying.
Pavia province is packed with thermal springs just a few kilometres apart and the properties and action of the waters vary.
L'Agriturismo gode di una posizione strategica poiché si trova a 25 km a sud di Milano (SS 412 Valtidone), a 10 km circa dal casello A1 di Lodi e a 18 km dall'uscita di Castel San Giovanni (autostrada Torino-Piacenza-Brescia). Le città di Lodi e Pavia distano circa 16 km; l'aeroporto di Linate si trova a 30 minuti circa di macchina e anche gli aeroporti di Malpensa e di Orio al Serio sono facilmente raggiungibili. La struttura è posta a 1 km dal centro del paese di Villanterio che è facilmente raggiungibile anche in bicicletta utilizzando le strade interne alla proprietà. Oltre alle città di Lodi, Milano e Pavia, altre località facilmente raggiungibili e da visitare sono Lodi Vecchio, Sant'Angelo Lodigiano, San Colombano al Lambro, la Certosa di Pavia e Piacenza. All'interno della tenuta il cigno troverete due realtà: una sportiva legata alle corse dei cavalli di cui la storica scuderia è testimone e una prettamente agricola. Infatti nei campi che circondano la Tenuta si coltivano riso, soia, frumento, orzo, mais; sono presenti anche un orto che fornisce verdure di stagione e alberi da frutto.
Rivanazzano Terme is a well known spa town. Its bromide and iodide salts and sulphurous waters are famous for their concentration of elements which are indispensable to healthy bodily functioning. Alongside its classic spa bath complex where therapies take place, a modern and comfortable wellness centre with a spa bath and Kneipp route has recently been built providing cure and relaxation for body wellness.
Terme President spa inside the President Hotel complex is easy to get to in the hotel's lifts from its rooms and is also open to non guests. The spa is a NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE  ASL partner institution and uses bromide and iodide salt and sulphurous waters and high mineral content muds. Its large supplies of these make a range of cures and wellness treatments available.
The Terme di Salice thermal waters come from deep down in the earth in subterranean basins of marine origin and sulphurous springs. Its waters and muds are packed with minerals and important elements promoting good health and are effective in both medical and beauty treatments. The spa has a wellness centre which uses the active properties of its precious water heritage for cures and relation.
The Terme di Miradolo baths, set in a 10 hectare park, are an ideal relaxation and health destination. Its bromide and iodide salt and lithium-magnesium-sulphurous spa waters are packed with precious elements which are indispensable to bodily health and wellbeing, have been well known for centuries and are of marine origin. Miradolo spa has special sections for spa cures, a saline wellness centre, a collection of vintage cars, an open air swimming pool and sports facilities.

PIRLO – I COULD HAVE PLAYED AT BARCELONA
Posted on March 28, 2017 by index
Italian football legend Andrea Pirlo has revealed that he could have lined up for the best team in the world in Barcelona if he wanted to.
The AC Milan legend said he rejected a potential move to join Pep Guardiola's 'perfect' team.
Pirlo started his pro career through a host of Italian football clubs like Brescia, Inter Milan, and Reggina before he developed into a superstar at Milan following his big-money move. He was with the Rossoneri for a decade before he decided to leave. He moved to Serie A giant Juventus as he left in the pecking order at the San Siro.
Pirlo said that before his move to play for the Bianconeri, he could have moved to Nou Camp.
"When I was at Milan, we played a friendly game at the Camp Nou and after the game, Pep Guardiola called me into his office inside the stadium. He asked me if I would like to play under him at Barcelona. It was very nice for me, to have been asked to his office and told that. At that time, Milan would never have allowed me to leave though," Pirlo said recently in an interview with L'Equipe. Continue reading "PIRLO – I COULD HAVE PLAYED AT BARCELONA" →

Fabregas not joining AC Milan
After reports that the Spanish midfielder might be making a switch to AC Milan during the January transfer window, it is now believed that the Italian club is not interesting in going forward with the deal.
Cesc Fabregas who has lost his place in Chelsea's first team apparently wants to remain to London in order to fight for his place.
There have been media reports last week that AC Milan's representatives have traveled to London in order to join Chelsea's representative. It was believed that the Italian club was trying to convince their London counterpart to allow Fabregas to come on loan.
But it is now believed that the Italian club is no more interested to sign the player and that they are considering other options. There are rumors that the Italian club considers Fabregas salary as a major stumbling block for the deal and that they are now considering cheaper options to boost their squad.
AC Milan has made a good start to their Serie A season this year, and their coach Vincenzo Montella is putting his trust in a group of young players. They were looking to add more experienced in the side and considered Fabregas as an ideal candidate to help boost the team in the center of the park.

AC Milan needs to get fans back
AC Milan coach Vincenzo Montello has stated that AC Milan should win their fans back. He said that the club is nothing without its supporters, and it is up to the players to win them back to the team.
He was speaking after the match that saw AC Milan beat Torino 3-2. Although AC Milan managed to win the game, it was by no means an easy game and they could have ended up the match with a defeat. It is only because of some poor defending by Torino that the team managed to score 3 goals.
Vincenzo Montella believes that the only way for AC Milan to get back to the top of the Serie A will be to get the fans back behind the team. He said that this is not a new problem and that it is up to the players to change that. He said that fans are not angry with the team or with the coach, but they are just disappointed with the way the club has been playing for a few seasons now.

Former AC Milan player Cesare Maldini has died at the age of 84
Posted on April 28, 2016 by index
Former AC Milan player Cesare Maldini has died at the age of 84. The football world, in general, has paid tribute to one of football greats on Tuesday morning. There were many former team-mates as well as club representatives that were present at the ceremony. Cesare Maldini has made more than 400 appearances for AC Milan and scored three goals during the period 1954 to 1963 and has won 4 League titles during that time.
He also won the European Cup in 1963. He was considered as being one of the best defenders of his generation. He also had a managerial career after his retirement as a player where he managed several clubs such as AC Milan, Foggia, Ternana, and Parma. His best accomplishment as a manager will be to win a Copa Italia and Cup Winners Cup double with AC Milan. He will also help Parma get their promotion to the Serie B.
On the international level, Cesare Maldini will manage the Italy senior team during the period 1996-1998. He will help the team qualify for the 1998 World Cup in France. Despite having a host of talented players at his disposal, he will only make it to the quarter-finals where Italy will be eliminated by the host and future winners France.

Florentino Perez says that Keylor Navas is highly regarded in Real Madrid but it doesn't look like it
The summer transfer window reached its conclusion on September 1st and in that day there was a transfer that almost took place but fell short at the last minute and this failed transfer still continues to have an effect in the world of football. Just as everything appeared to be clear and ready for David de Gea to make his move to Real Madrid, reports emerged claiming that the deal could not be completed in time due to some documents not being delivered in time to the proper authorities.
David de Gea was the man that Real Madrid has been attempting to sign for some time now and failed to sign him in the summer transfer window which recently shut down. If this deal had indeed been completed then David de Gea would have joined Real Madrid for a transfer fee of around €30 million. Keylor Navas was also involved in this transfer as the Costa Rican shot-stopper was going to be transferred to Manchester United as part of the transaction. €30 million and Keylor Navas was the price that Real Madrid was willing to pay in order to sign David de Gea. The 28 year old Costa Rican player was being used as bait to lure in another player.
The transfer never got completed and now Keylor Navas will continue his career with Real Madrid and even though he was an expendable player for Real Madrid, Florentino Perez stated that Navas is highly regarded and praised in the team. When Perez was questioned about the current situation involving Keylor Navas, the president of Real Madrid replied by saying: 'I have no doubt that he will be very good for us, this season too. The fans love him very much; he's highly regarded by the club and the coach. He's in a condition to play".

Silvio Berlusconi has tried to win back fans
Posted on June 13, 2015 by index
AC Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi has tried to win back fans by saying that he is once again ready to invest in big-name players and managers. The club has limited its investment over the last couple of years and has consequently slip down the table. After two poor campaigns under their former players – Clarence Seedorf and Filippo Inzaghi, Milan find themselves outside the European elite after a long time. One of the most successful clubs with seven European cups to their name, Milan will even be without the second-tier Europa League for the upcoming season.
In order to revive the club's ailing fortunes, Berlusconi says that he is ready to bring back former manager Carlo Ancelotti. A move for getting former player Zlatan Ibrahimovic is also underway according to the former Italian president. Ancelotti left Milan in 2009 and has since managed clubs like Chelsea, Paris St Germain, and Real Madrid. He is on the verge of being sacked at Madrid and this would leave him free to discuss terms with a new club.
Ibrahimovic, meanwhile, is the mainstay at PSG despite being almost 35. His age could allow PSG to let him leave and return for Milan for a nominal figure. Continue reading "Silvio Berlusconi has tried to win back fans" →

There was no room in your lungs for air.
Falls will do that to you, you know. First, there's the split-second, horrible knowledge that you won't remain upright for much longer, followed by the spill that takes months but happens in a split-second. When it's over, you're left flat with your dignity dubious, looking for a scrap of air for your lungs and hoping you're still intact.
And then there's falling ill, which is much worse. When that happens, it sometimes feels like you'll never stop descending, and in the book "Clear Cut" by Ginny Jordan, you'll see how that leaves one gasping, too.
Ginny Jordan grew up in a rough-and-tumble Ohio family with four brothers. She became a psychotherapist, moved with her husband to Colorado, bore three children, and loved to travel. She was a self-sufficient, independent, adventuresome soul.
And then she began a long trek through unimaginable fatigue.
The fatigue got worse, forcing her family to organize around "Sick Mommy." Jordan was diagnosed with Méniére's disease, just like her mother and grandmother, left without the strength to move her head, "not even an inch." Then the attacks got worse, causing her to drop flat to the floor.
In the midst of dealing with this, she accidentally felt a lump in her right breast. Her oldest child was nine; her youngest, two.
Jordan said goodbye to her breast after the mastectomy, then cut her hair, knowing that she'd have to say goodbye to that, too. Her oldest daughter said, "in no uncertain terms that she never wants to see me bald…" Wigs itched. Jordan reluctantly learned to balance a scarf on her head.
Slowly, then, everything went back to as normal as it could get for a one-time cancer patient. Jordan traveled the world, her children grew up, she worked, and she learned to navigate life again.
And then, seventeen years after her first surgery and following a routine mammogram, she got the letter: "Please call to schedule a needle biopsy." Not long afterward, following her second mastectomy, she lost her ovaries.
Then she lost her hearing.
There's no denying that author Ginny Jordan writes with beautiful candor mixed with poetry. She never candy-coats the travails she's endured in trying to outlast cancer and various other life-altering afflictions. Her words are raw, and you want to hold her hand as you read them.
But while I appreciated Jordan's spirituality, her story became way too new-agey for me. Over and over, she recounts dreams and memories from which she derived messages and other omens. That, and the oft-confusing lack of linearity greatly tampered my enthusiasm for this memoir.
You may fall under its spell after all.

Education is Key to Breaking the Cycle of Child Poverty
Plan International is dedicated to lifting children out of poverty in more than 50 countries around the globe. "Our mission is to make sure every child achieves their full potential," says Nigel Chapman, CEO of the nonprofit organization.
Plan pursues this worthy goal on a broad front – from disaster relief to supporting community-based health programs for immunizations and child nutrition.
But of all the strategies it employs, Plan sees education as one of the most powerful ways to break the cycle of poverty.
Indeed, education plays a key role in many of the organization's worldwide humanitarian efforts – whether that's Plan's emergency response to devastating storms or its ongoing "Because I am a Girl" campaign.
Rebuilding a Child's World
When Typhoon Haiyan slammed the Philippines in 2013, it affected the lives of more than 5 million Filipino children.
The Category 5 storm triggered immediate action from Plan. The organization's staffers quickly assessed what skills would be required of the first responders and identified available resources. Within 48 to 72 hours after landfall, Plan had people on the ground.
During the first few months of the typhoon's aftermath, Plan prioritized the delivery of emergency needs, such as food, safe drinking water, medical supplies, and shelter. But Plan's support continued long after these initial life-saving measures were complete.
More than 600 schools were badly damaged or destroyed by the typhoon. In less than a year, Plan helped countless Filipino children return to school and a sense of normality by rebuilding classrooms, training new teachers, and providing pupils with more than 44,000 "Back to School" kits full of books, pens, and other school supplies.
Because I am a Girl
Natural disasters are by no means the only barriers to education. The sad truth is that the battle to ensure access to education is being fought every day and around the globe.
"Every child has the right to an education, and education is fundamental to all other development," explains Chapman in an editorial he wrote last summer. "Despite this, 126 million children remain out of primary and lower secondary school around the world."
This situation is especially troubling among young girls.
Plan provides some sobering statistics:
62 million girls across the world are out of school
Girls' primary school completion rates are below 50% in most poor countries
Globally, nearly 1 in 5 girls of lower secondary school age is out of school
And the research suggests that even slight improvements in these numbers can have meaningful social and economic impact:
An extra year of secondary school can increase a girl's potential income by 15% to 25%
Each extra year of a mother's schooling cuts infant mortality by between 5% and 10%
An increase of only 1% in girls secondary education attendance, adds 0.3% to a country's GDP
Plan's "Because I am a Girl" campaign puts special emphasis on helping millions of girls get the education, skills, and support they need to transform their lives and the world around them. As Chapman warns in his editorial, "We should all feel guilty that so many girls are out of school. This is unacceptable and must change, because if we don't act now, in 2086 we'll be in exactly the same situation."
The Fight Continues
Over the past five years, Plan has invested more than US$180 million in primary education in 40 countries throughout Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean. In 2014 alone, Plan supported the construction and rehabilitation of more than 2,450 schools and trained over 104,000 professional and volunteer education workers on child-friendly learning skills.
But Plan knows much more must be done.

Sharp decline in infant mortality since 2000
Last year, 617 out of the 170 thousand live-born babies died in their first year. As a result, the infant mortality rate stood at 3.6 per thousand live births, versus 5.1 in 2000. The infant mortality rate was nearly three times the average among mothers under the age of 20. Infant mortality in the Netherlands is in line with the European Union average. Statistics Netherlands (CBS) reports this based on newly released figures.
Almost 1 in 6 children live in single-parent households
In 2019, 16 percent of all children in the Netherlands were living in a single-parent household. This share has continued to expand over the past two decades. Nine percent of all infants were living with only one parent. The highest shares are found in the cities of Heerlen and Rotterdam.
Child poverty stable in 2018, less long-term poverty
Last year, 264 thousand minors in the Netherlands were living in low-income families, remaining unchanged from the previous year. The number of minors in families living persistently on a low income for at least four years dropped by nearly 5 thousand, ending at 103 thousand. This is evident from the latest figures on at-risk-of-poverty rates, released by Statistics Netherlands (CBS).
Are youngsters with a foreign background closing the gap with their native Dutch peers?
Compared with a few years ago, the situation in which young people with a non-western foreign background in the Netherlands find themselves has improved in a number of areas. They are better educated and more of them have jobs. In spite of this, they still have some catching up to do with respect to native Dutch young people.

Green jackfruit: is 'pulled pork for vegetarians' the next big food craze?
January 15, 2017 health, Recipes
Late last year, after 18 years of litigation, a senior government official in Kerala, south-west India was given a prison sentence after being convicted of theft. The object he stole was government property, and it was so large he had to have it cut up to get it home. A piece of art, perhaps? A precious metal? Actually, it was a 40-year-old jackfruit tree, and, once you've tasted its fruit, you begin to understand why he did it. To say the jackfruit is big is an understatement. It is the largest tree-borne fruit on the planet – it isn't unusual to come across beasts weighing up to 35kg in South America and South-east Asia. And it has been hailed as a "miracle crop" because of its size, and resistance to pests and drought. And its nutritional credentials are also impressive: researchers have suggested it could replace wheat, corn and other staple crops that may come under threat because of climate change.
Once you get through its tough, green, knobbly exterior, you're hit with a faint whiff of onion, sticky sap and odd looking seed pods that taste like a cross between a pineapple and a pear. So far, so fruity. But what really sets the jackfruit apart is what it can do to savoury dishes, especially its ability to imitate pulled pork after several hours on the hob.
Entertainment magazine E! cited it as a "hot new vegan ingredient" after spotting it taking pork belly's place in baos (steamed buns) at Susan Feniger's Street Food in LA. In London, vegan street-food and supper-club contingent Club Mexicanauses it in burritos and tacos to delicious effect. It's their most popular dish by far, and suppliers are struggling to keep up with demand. Cook and owner Meriel Armitage says that customers often think it's meat and are "always amazed it isn't pulled pork". She learned about the ingredient when working at one of London's oldest vegan cafes. "It has been used for years by veterans of the vegan scene, but it has been kept a bit of a chef's secret". Pulled jackfruit is made from the younger fruit – "green jackfruit", widely sold in tins and, thankfully, much easier to carry home from work than a bad smelling lump the size of a child. Meat substitutes are 10 a penny these days, ranging from gluten based seitan, to soy-based tofu, to the wide variety of disturbingly realistic meat-flavoured Quorn products on offer. But jackfruit wins hands down. This all-natural, non processed ingredient has fibrous flesh that can take on almost any flavour – green jackfruit can replace carnitas in tacos, braised beef in burritos, spiced lamb topping for flatbreads.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating, although, with jackfruit, that can prove difficult when the eater harbours deep suspicions about its meaty appearance. One host on American network WISH-TV refused to believe his barbecue jackfruit slider was vegan, and, through mouthfuls of sandwich, called the guest chef who prepared the dish a liar.
Get hold of a few cans – you can find it in Asian food stores and the world-food shelves in many big supermarkets – and give it a try. (But go for the green jackfruit, not the kind in syrup.) And if you happen to share dinners with an anti-vegetarian, they never have to know.

Club Mexicana's bbq pulled jackfruit
2 jalapeños, finely chopped
0.5 tsp cayenne
500ml ketchup
125ml lime juice (more if you like it tangy)
1 cup dark brown sugar
4 tins of jackfruit in brine
1 tbsp dijon mustard
Fry the garlic & jalapeños in oil for a minute. Add all the spices, stir and cook until fragrant (a minute or so). Add ketchup, lime and brown sugar. Stir until all the sugar has melted. Partially cover and keep cooking on a low heat until sauce has thickened to the consistency of ketchup.
Drain and thoroughly rinse the tinned jackfruit. Use your hands to tear the strands of jackfruit from the harder core. The fruit will come apart very easily. Put the pulled jackfruit into a bowl and put the cores into another bowl. Once everything has been pulled apart use a knife to finely chop the harder cores. It doesn't matter if these are still a bit chunky once chopped as it adds more texture to the dish.
Heat oil in pan and add the pulled jackfruit. Cook until it gets a bit grey and loses some moisture. Add the dijon mustard and stir in. Add a little water if it starts to stick to the pan.
Add about half the BBQ sauce (more if you want a very sticky dish) and stir in to coat. Cook until it's almost starting to get a little crispy and sticking to the pan a little.
Spoon on top of warm corn tacos and top with cos lettuce, guacamole, sour cream, a squeeze of fresh lime and a sprinkle of coriander.

Filter words. It can be so tempting to use them, but they weaken your writing, especially when overused. One of the most common issues I spot when editing is the use of filtering. From my experience it's a common habit for new authors and one that can be hard to break. Even yours truly had to learn to break the habit. Let's get started on how to spot and revise filtering.
Toward/Towards: Which One to Use?
I've often seen authors get confused over which form to use when it comes to toward and towards. I know I had to look it up when I first started writing. Seeing both forms being used in books and on the Internet only seems to confuse writers more on which one they should be using. I notice people around me often use towards in speech. Heck, even I notice myself using this form.
Technically both forms are correct. Which one you use depends on where you live and what style guide you follow. If you are American, you'll want to use toward. For you style guide sticklers, both Chicago and AP style use toward. But if you use British English, you'll use towards.
Other words act similarly in American vs. British English. Similar examples include afterward, downward, upward, backward, and forward. In American English they lose the s, and in British English you add the s. Be careful about sticking to only one form. I see authors switch between toward and towards when they aren't sure which one they should be using. If you're worried about this, when you're editing do a search for the form you don't want to use and replace it with the correct one.
This pesky little issue of when to use "awhile" or "a while" used to confuse me. I see them being used interchangeably, but that is not grammatically correct. It took a few explanations to find one that helped me figure out which one to use, so I'm going to pass this knowledge on.
But first, let's go over the differences. Awhile is an adverb and literally means "for a while" or "for a time." So it acts as an adverb typically would, where a while doesn't since it's a noun. This is key to distinguishing which one to use.
Basically, if you aren't sure of which one to use, try substituting a noun or an adverb and see which one makes sense. If an adverb makes sense, you use awhile. If a noun makes since, you a while. Let's do some practice examples of this.
Take the sentence "Go walk awhile." Now let's replace it with a different adverb. "Go walk quickly." Makes sense, right? A noun wouldn't in this case. "Go walk year." See? So awhile is correct in this case.
Now let's do an example with a while. "Go walk for a while." See, this sentence is a little different than the previous one. "Go walk for a quickly" wouldn't work this time due to the preposition "for" being used. But if you replace it with a noun, it makes sense. "Go walk for a day." So if a preposition is being used, like in this case, it's a big clue that you need to use a while instead of awhile since you are dealing with a noun and not an adverb. If you're still not sure, try the noun vs. adverb test.

The vertical bagging machine belongs to the packaging machines category.
How does this machine works?
Bagging is a way of industrial sachet filling. It concerns different types of bags, from 3 to 4 side seal bags or sachets.
The raw material is first passed into a product weighing system and then into the sachet (usually plastic or other packaging materials). The sachet containing the product is then cut and sealed.
The product to be packed is introduced into an auger. The machine needs to be set up with the appropriate dosing system to pack different kinds of products (different dosing depends on whether the product is liquid, solid or powder). Once the desired weight is achieved, the product goes through the funnel to be dosed and then falls to fit in the foil. The foil is folded and sealed on 3 sides or more.
Finally, the product will fall into a container.
What are the main advantages of a vertical sachet machine?
The machine is usually relatively small and doesn't need a lot of space. Moreover, the machine is quite easy to set up and doesn't require specialised maintenance.
This machine is very efficient when it comes to saving labour costs, mainly due to its high speed.
Vertical bagging machines are mainly used for the following products: food products (ketchup sugar, pasta, milk, etc...) These products can be used in many areas, with varying sizes and proportions, as well as different substances: liquid, solid.
On the other hand, horizontal machines are mostly used for solid products.
In our catalogue, Exapro has some of the best international manufacturers, including Bosch bagging machines, Volpak bagging machines, Ulma bagging machines, and many popular products such as the DCM Olimpia 4BC Bagging machine and Maben Engineering AM250 Bagging machine. You can find these used machines for an affordable price in our catalogue. Don't hesitate to check our catalogue for used machines and contact an Exapro agent if you have any questions.

American-Irish Artist Ronan Conroy Debuts Video for Folk Driven Dreampop Single "Double Helix"
American-Irish artist Ronan Conroy presents "Double Helix," a spellbinding new single from the forthcoming album The Slow Death of the LoveMyth.
While Conroy is best known for his folk-flavoured indie rock, on this new album, he reveals his post-punk alter-ego, soaked in dream wave and goth richness. Drawing on the darker side of goth classics, select tracks on this album are crowned with ethereal female vocals, including Julie Dicterow of Oh Halo, Shannon Brown and Susan Hwang of Lusterlit, and drums by Justin Wierbonski (a.k.a. Demonic Drums). We hear the influences of Cocteau Twins, Chelsea Wolfe, Weyes Blood, Kate Bush, and The Cure.
This song, "Double Helix," is dream pop at its finest. invoking the transcendental sonic ecstasy of folk romance with windswept shoegaze euphoria, enveloping the senses in a cocoon of gossamer sound.
"Going deeper into my goth influences seemed to offer me a natural and more suitable sonic landscape for these topics…Each of the guest singers has elevated the project to new levels and surpassed even my own visions of how their voices could combine with the instrumentation," says Conroy. "Maybe it's fear of vulnerability, or discomfort with how raw, irrational or unacceptable some of our base preconceptions or pessimistic expectations can seem, that make them tougher subjects to explore musically."
Lush with dark reverie, it is beautifully complemented by a captivating video created by NYC-based artist Hypnodoll. Awash in reds, the dreamlike images float through as if one is half asleep; nothing solid, but all meaningful symbolism.
Growing up in Dublin, Ireland with four strongly opinionated brothers and musician parents (his father played guitar and mandolin and his mother played guitar and tin whistle), Conroy was exposed to an array of musical influences, ranging from new wave and post-punk to David Bowie, Johnny Cash, Elvis and ABBA. His world changed at 15 when his mother loaned him her nylon string guitar and taught him a few chords, instantaneously unlocking a whole new world of songwriting.
"Some of my songwriting has been more situational or distilled as expressions of particular events – universal human experiences like heartbreak, disappointment, betrayal, but driven by a need to process or express a particular chapter of my life," says Conroy. "LoveMyth goes a step further in giving voice to the deeper underlying darkest fears that maybe aren't always expressed, that are there as archetypal tendencies throughout many or all of the chapters of our lives."
Years later, he would release two albums with Brooklyn's The Listeners and go on to perform with gothic dreampop band Oh Haloon guitar and backing vocals from 2011 to 2014, during which time he released one album with them.
This record was produced, engineered and mastered by Charlie Nieland (Debbie Harry, Rufus Wainwright, Blondie and Scissor Sisters) at Capture Sound Studios.Double Helix is available digitally via Spotify, Apple Musicand all digital music platforms. It will also be available as a single via Bandcamp when ordering the full album, which will be released on October 21.

WASHINGTON (AP) – The longest recession the country has endured since World War II ended in June 2009, a group that dates the beginning and end of recessions declared Monday.
The National Bureau of Economic Research, a panel of academic economists based in Cambridge, Mass., said the recession lasted 18 months. It started in December 2007 and ended in June 2009. Previously the longest postwar downturns were those in 1973-1975 and in 1981-1982. Both of those lasted 16 months.
The decision makes official what many economists have believed for some time, that the recession ended in the summer of 2009. The economy started growing again in the July-to-September quarter of 2009, after a record four straight quarters of declines. Thus, the April-to-June quarter of 2009, marked the last quarter when the economy was shrinking. At that time, it contracted just 0.7 percent, after suffering through much deeper declines. That factored into the NBER's decision to pinpoint the end of the recession in June.
Any future downturn in the economy would now mark the start of a new recession, not the continuation of the December 2007 recession, NBER said. That's important because if the economy starts shrinking again, it could mark the onset of a "double-dip" recession. For many economists, the last time that happened was in 1981-82. To make its determination, the NBER looks at figures that make up the nation's gross domestic product, which measures the total value of goods and services produced within the United States. It also reviews incomes, employment and industrial activity.
The economy lost 7.3 million jobs in the 2007-2009 recession, also the most in the post World War II period. The NBER normally takes its time in declaring a recession has started or ended.
For instance, the NBER announced in December 2008 that the recession had actually started one year earlier, in December 2007. Similarly, it declared in July 2003 that the 2001 recession was over. It actually ended 20 months earlier, in November 2001. Its determination is of interest to economic historians – and political leaders. Recessions that occur on their watch pose political risks.
In President George W. Bush's eight years in office, the United States fell into two recessions. The first started in March 2001 and ended that November. The second one started in December 2007.
NBER's decision means little to ordinary Americans now muddling through a sluggish economic recovery and a weak jobs market. Unemployment is 9.6 percent and has been stuck at high levels since the recession ended. Many will continue to struggle.
Unemployment usually keeps rising well after a recession ends. Four months after the 2007 downturn ended, unemployment spiked to 10.1 percent in October 2009, which was the highest in just over aquarter-century. Some economists believe that marked the high point in joblessness. But others think it could climb higher – perhaps hitting 10.3 percent by early next year.
After the 2001 recession, for instance, unemployment didn't peak until June 2003 – 19 months later.

How to survive a colicky baby? Few tips and tricks for surviving Colic!
I still remember the time when my daughter was only two or three months old and she used to cry inconsolably for two or three hours every evening. Those were the few days when I got extremely exhausted with her. I felt so helpless and could not maintain my sanity. To be very honest, I was no longer able to enjoy the beautiful phase of motherhood.
Early morning my little girl used to wake up all happy and cheerful. I used to nurse her, massage her, give a bath and she slept peacefully throughout the day like an angel. But just as the clock used to struck 8:30 or 09:00 pm, she would start with twists and turns in sleep and then began crying session for hours. Yes, it even happened that she cried for three hours straight. Me and my husband tried all kinds of soothing strategies but all failed.
We ran to the pediatrician to understand the cause of her crying. The pediatrician unfortunately couldn't give us any magic pill . He said she was suffering from mild colic pain and colicky babies usually cry at the same time everyday. As per the pediatrician it will subside on its own by fourth or fifth month and prescribed a medicine.
It's said that indigestion may be the cause of colic, but the exact causes are largely unknown.
If you are a breastfeeding mom and your baby cries of colic pain, please check your own diet. Some changes may help the baby.
If on formula milk then paediatrician can suggest some changes and recommend something different which may suit the baby.
There are anti colic bottles available in market. Those bottles can be tried if baby is bottle fed.
It's extremely difficult and challenging for parents to handle a colicky baby. All it needs is patience. If you have a fair idea about the symptoms of colic it will be much easier to deal with the baby. With time we as parents could handle her well.
So today I'll share few tips and tricks to handle a colic baby.
First thing is visit a paediatrician and mention the way your baby cries. Some baby cries with frequent session of vomiting . So let the paediatrician rule out the exact cause.
If you are sure baby is crying due to colic pain, try to hold him or her upright and walk out of the room. Fresh air or different atmosphere sometimes help.
Try massaging baby's tummy. Gently but firmly press the tummy.
Rotate knees gently clockwise around the tummy, like a cycling movement. It helps many a times.
Please do not get impatient if massaging fails. Try to put baby on tummy position and gently rub the back.
In some cases swaddling and rocking helps. Try to swaddle baby correctly and rock gently with some light music on.
Try some white noise. Personally it never worked with me.
BioGaia Protectis baby drops are very popular worldwide for treating a lot of baby's problems like colic and other discomfort. Good news is, it has now been launched in India as well by Dr. Reddy's.
Protectis baby drops are basically probiotic drops which introduce healthy bacteria in baby's gut to relieve gas and aid digestion. Colic is most often a direct consequence of gas in tummy, which can be treated with this.
In what age Protectis be given?
Protectis baby drops are completely safe for newborn babies and can be given as early as a few days old baby.
What is the dosage for BioGaia Protectis baby drops?
The dosage is 5 drops once per day irrespective of the age.
How can we give Protectis baby drops to baby?
Protectis baby drops have no flavour, so you can give them directly with a spoon or mix it with any food, before bottle formula or breastmilk. The food that you mix it with should not be hot as heat can kill the probiotics. It can be cold or room temperature.
Is Protectis baby drops the same as gripe water?
It is not same as gripe water, neither is it a spot gas treatment. It works by making baby's gut healthy and helping in digestion thus helping with issues like colic, gas pains and constipation.
Please don't get upset and overtired and try to shake the baby with the intention to make him or her stop the tears. That won't help or rather cause Brain damage.
Do not leave the crying baby unattended. If you're tired please get help from partner.
Don't try any forceful means to put baby to sleep. It will worsen the condition.
My daughter suffered colic pain for two to three months. Some kids suffer for nine months even. Its extremely tiring for parents and whoever face this will understand. My daughter is always a good sleeper and as I said she used to get up from deep sleep when she was in pain. After three months she was happy go lucky girl. So I conclude with this and lastly moms and dads please be patient when you have a colicky baby because this will get better with time.
This article has been contributed by Sagarika Das.
My older child suffered from colic when he was a little baby. I used to make sure to burp him after every feed. Gripe water also helped.
Massaging the kids tummy with coconut oil always helped.
This is a very important and helpful article. Parents are clueless and if they know this is expected and can be handled with patience and guidance, the process becomes smooth.
I remember when my daughter was a baby.she was colicky and would cry endlessly. It really makes you totally helpless. This will surely help lot of moms n babies.
These are some amazing tips. We too tried yummy time and making my baby sleep on pillow. White noise too never worked for us.
I faced this to some extent with my second kid and I know how you must have felt. Glad to know there are some probiotic drops available to help with colic pain.
My baby was a colicky baby and burping after every feeding session was the only relief .It was my job to feed the baby and burping was my hubby job.I never tried any drops but glad to know about this one.
I am going to share it with my other mommy friends, I am sure this will help many.
My elder one was a colic baby. We had some really rough nights with her. Can't believe we went through all of that by just the use of hing or asafoetida. These drops sound good. Will surely come handy to the parents looking for a solution.


NETBALL: Queensland Firebird Tara Hinchliffe grew up idolising her former teammate Laura Geitz.
Now the 20-year-old is hoping her performances in this year's Suncorp Super Netball competition can help the team cover her loss.
The goal defender visited the region yesterday with fellow players Jemma Mi Mi and Tippah Dwan to run clinics for young Bundaberg juniors between the age of 10 and 14.
The clinics were part of the Suncorp Team Girls Regional Tour that also visited Rockhampton and Gladstone.
"The clinics were really good, we really loved having the girls here," Hinchliffe said.
"They were so enthusiastic and so excited for us to be here, which we love to hear.
Hinchliffe said these visits are vital as netball faces increased competition from other sports for female participation.
"Still at the moment, netball is the number one in Australia," she said.
"We love to see and see how much fun the girls have with it.
She also rated the players on show from Bundaberg.
"They are amazing, there are some very fast mid courters going on," she said.
Now Hinchliffe has taught a lesson to the best girls in the region, she is hoping to do the same on court with her Firebirds teammates.
For the past two years the team has been outshined by their state counterparts the Sunshine Coast Lightning, who have claimed the opening two Suncorp Super Netball competition.
Hinchliffe said it was time to change that.
"It's a big challenge and we really love playing the Lightning," she said.
"The thing is their team has changed a lot this year and our team hasn't.
Hinchliffe said the expectations are high.
"Last weekend we had two really great games against the Giants and we're confident heading into round one," she said.
But the side will have to do it without club stalwart Laura Geitz who retired with Hinchliffe confident the team can step up in her absence.
"We were lucky we learnt so much from her," she said.
"As three young pretty inexperienced defenders we've got the chance to prove ourselves.
The Firebirds start against Melbourne Vixens on April 27.
