What is the relation between Religion, Spirituality and Educare?
It is surprising to me to note that you have been unable to recognise the relationship among religion, spirituality and educare. First and foremost, understand what religion is - 'Religion is realisation.' Only when you realise the truth about yourself, will you understand what religion is. Spirituality is not merely singing bhajans, performing worship, going to temples or on pilgrimages or undertaking any other good activity. Spirituality is recognising oneness of all beings. Here is an example. When we close our eyes we cannot see anybody. But the moment we open them we can see thousands of heads in this hall. Where have these heads come from? If you enquire into the truth, you will recognise that your eyes notice all heads. They have not come from anywhere outside.
To recognise unity in diversity is spirituality. The basic truth to be recognised is that there is only one Atma in all beings. The questions and doubts arise when you see multiplicity in unity. The entire creation has emerged from love. Therefore, there is no difference among religion, spirituality and educare.
Religion is realisation of your Self. Spirituality also is discovering who you really are. For example you say, "This is my handkerchief, this is my plate, this is my hand and this is my body." Then who are you? There must be someone to say that he owns the tumbler, plate, hand and the body. When you enquire into this truth you will realise that you are separate from all these and in fact, you are the master of all these. That master is the Atma.
The next aspect is educare. How can you call yourselves educated if you do not understand what educare is? The word 'education ' is derived from the Latin root 'educare'. While education refers to collection of worldly facts, educare is to bring out from within. Education is for a living while educare is for life. Education is for 'Jeevana Upadhi' (livelihood). Educare is for 'Jeevitha Paramavadhi' (the ultimate goal of life). It is easy for us to recognise things outside us and difficult to look within. There are many things inside us, which are not manifest. When you join the three letters G, O, D, we get the word GOD. When you look at the letters individually they have no meaning of their own. Our effort lies in putting together these letters to get the meaning. This is educare. Educare means to bring out from within. The Atma is our innermost reality. That is what educare should bring out. Therefore, there is actually no difference among the three - religion, spirituality and educare.
Whatever we see in others is only a reflection of our own self. If we accuse somebody as bad, it is just that our feeling towards that person is bad. Whatever impression we have about others is a reflection of our feeling towards them. Everything is just reflection, reaction and resound. Therefore, you should not find fault with others. You do not have the right to find fault because your assessment of a person is limited to your experience with him. There are so many aspects of the personality of that person you do not know. For example, you look at Anil Kumar, you will know only his dress, his complexion, his height and weight. But Anil Kumar is not merely what you see. There are so many qualities like love, compassion or anger, which are in him that you cannot see. Therefore, if you want to know a person completely you should investigate into all the aspects of his personality. In modern times, people go by the physical appearance and judge people based on their external actions. This is wrong. Hence, defect lies in the vision and not in the creation. When you put on red glasses everything appears red and when you put on blue glasses everything appears blue. Only those foolish people who fail to recognise this truth resort to criticism. Even in the case of an ordinary human being your assessment is wrong, then how can you assess God?
God has many invaluable things in His store. But you come and ask, "Swami, give me a locket." You ask Him for a locket because you do not know what precious gifts He can bestow upon you. There is no dearth of anything in His store. Therefore, you should not ask God for anything in specific. When time is ripe, He will give you. God knows and acts appropriately, based on the right time, place and situation. That is why you find sometimes He Himself comes and gives you things unasked. It is therefore very difficult to understand God. An ignoramus, who fails to understand this principle, often misinterprets it. But you should not fall prey to such calumny.
Thus educare, spirituality and religion are not different from one another. Here is a ring, a chain and the earrings - all these are different forms of the same gold. If one realises this unifying truth then where is the scope for multiplicity? Therefore, God is One though He may appear to you in different forms. The fundamental basis for everything is love. This is what you should aspire for. Do not worry about religion. There is only one religion, the religion of love. Educare means to bring out the divine love latent in man. That is why it is said, Love is God, live in Love. Then there would be no conflict in the world and all would live together happily. Only when are differences, there is conflict. Push aside these differences and live with the feeling of oneness.
Religions are many but the path is only one and we need to discover this path. "O heroic sons of Bharat! No religion is bad for the one who has a good sense of understanding." It is incorrect to see differences among religions. In our daily life, we need to realise the limitations of education. What you read for the first time may look new to you but when you read it again and again it is no more new. Here is an example. Once God wanted to grant liberation to a person and sent Yama, the God of death, to him. When Yama approached this devotee, he questioned whether the devotee knew him. But the devotee answered that he (Yama) was a stranger to him. Then Lord Yama told him that he would return to him only when he could recognise Yama. When Yama returned after three days the same question was posed to him. Now the devotee answered that Yama was no longer a stranger to him, because he had already seen him. Everything appears strange and new before acquaintance. But once we acquaint ourselves we tend to shed differences.
Basically, you have to get rid of the sense of differences and develop the sense of oneness. Then you will know that religion; educare and spirituality are one and the same.
What relationship should Sri Sathya Sai Schools have with Government?
Sri Sathya Sai education and Government education are two separate entities. Nevertheless, Sathya Sai Schools should have good relationship with the government. Sai belongs to everybody but government does not belong to everybody. Sri Sathya Sai Schools should obey all rules of the government, but with Sai, the only rule is Love. In Sri Sathya Sai Schools we follow all rules of discipline with love. The government enforces its rules, therefore it is 'force', but Sai's method is from the 'source'. One can pursue Sri Sathya Sai education along with government education. Sri Sathya Sai education imparts human values. Follow these values, and at the same time pursue government education. But do not split them into artificial divisions.
Everyday we have twenty-four hours at our disposal. At the most we spend six hours - three hours in the morning and three hours in the afternoon in schools. We still have eighteen hours at our disposal. Allocate six hours for your sleep, six hours for personal activities and the remaining six hours can be utilised for spiritual pursuits and developing human values. Sri Sathya Sai education imparts practical knowledge, while the government education teaches only bookish knowledge. But do not ignore bookish knowledge also, because the former grants us spiritual happiness and the latter, worldly happiness. Government education gives us the means of livelihood whereas Sri Sathya Sai education leads us to the ultimate goal of life. The two constitute the two sides of the same coin.
As teachers how can we understand the minds of students?
The teacher must first have a thorough understanding of his own mind before trying to understand the minds of the students. If the teacher's mind is good, the students will reflect it in their behaviour. Since the teacher cannot see the student's mind, he has to understand it only by observing the student's behaviour. The teacher should observe and analyse the student's behaviour with that of his parents, his friends and his fellow students. Basing on this, he will be able to lead the student on to the right path.
Sometimes, parents give too much freedom to the children and children in turn misuse this freedom to interact with their friends with laxity in behaviour. At school his freedom is curtailed. He must be taught to strike a balance between freedom and discipline. The teacher cannot interfere in the student's family affairs, for, parents give freedom to their children out of their love. Nevertheless, the teachers must keep in touch with the student's activities at home. But the sad plight of the modern age is that the parents are ninety-nine percent responsible for their children getting into bad ways, by providing them with excess of money and freedom. The parents are misguided by imagining that their children would be hurt if their freedom is curtailed. But they feel dejected if the child gets perverted and runs into bad ways.
The child must be groomed well right from the beginning itself. Just as speed-breakers control the speed of vehicles on the road to ensure safety, so too restrictions must be enforced upon children's freedom for their safety. The child should be given freedom in areas related to right conduct and must be punished when it errs. When the parents give freedom to their children, they should watch carefully as to how the children behave. It is then that the child will tread the right path. The first responsibility rests with the mother for the child to tread on the right path. Generally, if the daughter in the family is spoiled, mother is responsible and if the son goes astray, father is responsible for it.
It is in order to ensure that unlimited freedom is not given to children that the institution called school has come into existence. It is here that teachers should strike a balance between freedom and restriction in student's life. The teacher must advise the student regularly that his conduct will be responsible for the name he earns for his parents and the school in which he studies.
In some countries the concept of kindness and respect for elders is not stressed upon. The teachers of Sathya Sai schools must advise the students in the right way. The teacher must advise the student that he is born as a human, and that he is neither a 'wild animal' to strike terror in the hearts of people nor is he a 'domestic animal' (docile person) to be afraid of others. He has no cause to fear nor should he cause fear in others. In this manner, the teacher must lead the students on the right path. Life is a long journey and must not be dismissed in a trivial manner. It must be spent in the most auspicious manner possible. We should aspire for a divine life and not long life. It is possible to bring about a change in students by such good advice.
You are 'Acharya' and not merely a teacher. Acharya is one who first practises and then teaches the same to his students. So when you want to teach good principles to students, first you practise and then set an example. For example, if you smoke in the class, students will also emulate you and start smoking. If you try to correct them by saying, smoking is bad for health, the students will in turn ask you, "Sir, then why are you smoking?" The true characteristic of good education is good teaching. Good teaching brings about transformation in students. It will make students confess their mistakes before the teacher. I know this very well. Sometimes I punish My students for their mistakes and be strict towards them. Yet, I love them and give them what they need. This transforms their hearts. They come and pray to Me, "Swami please forgive us. It is our mistake that we did not conduct ourselves according to Your words. Now we have realised it. Swami, we will never repeat such mistakes again". Words that come out of true repentance melt Swami's heart and Swami forgives them by saying, "My dear son, whatever I do is for your good." All teachers can learn to emulate this example.
What is the most important quality a good teacher must have?
This is a very important question. Teachers should practise what is good and teach the same to students. Teachers should lead an exemplary life. Here is an example; when I was studying in third Form in Kamala-puram, we had a teacher by name H. Iyengar. Students were very afraid of him and would often avoid meeting him. I had great respect for my teacher. One day Iyengar got angry because he observed Me going into a lane when he was coming from the opposite direction of the road. Next day, I went to the class. I was the class monitor and had to get a bundle of sticks with which he would punish students. When he came to the class he was angry with Me for not meeting him on the road. He asked Me, "Why did You not meet and greet me?." I replied, "Sir, I did not see you. I was going to My friend's house to take My notebook from him." He shouted, "So You did not see me!" I replied, "No I did not see you." He threatened to punish Me. I told him, "Sir I am speaking the truth. If you wish to punish Me, you can do so." This answer melted his heart and he shed tears. He called Me near and said, "Raju I knew that You would never commit such a mistake. It is my mistake to get angry with You. I have a request, would you please come to my house tomorrow evening?"
As instructed by H. Iyengar, I went to his house. Iyengar had great love for Me. He gave Pakodas in an aluminum plate. He said, "I made a mistake by thinking of punishing You. As an act of repentance, I want to cultivate friendship with you." Our goodness, our truthfulness and our sacred qualities will transform any person. I said, "Sir your position is much higher than Mine. Friendship is possible only between equals." He replied, "You may look at it that way. But, one's age and education are not important, what is important is one's heart. You have a good heart." He further enquired, whether I was studying well. I told him, "Yes Sir." He cautioned Me that exams were fast approaching and wanted Me to study well. I appeared for the examination. The examination was for two hours duration, but I finished answering the paper within half an hour. I handed over the answer script to the invigilator and came out. He kept watching Me. He quipped, "Raju! You don't seem to have written anything!" I replied, "Sir! You will see it for yourself tomorrow. I have written everything correctly. I do not write or speak untruth."
Next day, from the pile of answer scripts, he picked up My answer script first. He checked My answers one by one and found that there were some answers which were not known even to him. So, he wrote very, very, very, very good on my paper. In those days, the teacher retained the answer scripts. The next day, he asked his wife to prepare some snacks and invited Me to his house. He told Me, "Raju! Have a cup of coffee." I said, "Sir! I do not drink coffee. I don't have that habit." "At least have a Dosa", he requested. I replied, "But I do not have the habit of eating at odd times." Please eat at least for my satisfaction," he pleaded. To satisfy him, I partook of it. Likewise, students have many opportunities to make their teachers happy. Though the students were afraid of our teachers, I was not. The reason was that I never committed any mistakes. I used to talk very sweetly. Because of this, my English teacher, Mahbub Khan, was very eager to come to My class. If any other teacher continued to be in the class even after the bell, he would ask him to leave. In the class, all other students would tease Me by saying, "Raju, go to the front!" Mahbub Khan loved Me very much. He used to caress My hair, fondle Me and pinch My cheeks. He was 50 years old and had no children.
He would ask Me to visit his house frequently. He was very devoted to Me. At the age of 11, I left that school. Till that time, I used to lead the prayers at the school. Mahbub Khan was looking after the prayer arrangements and he asked Me to lead the prayers saying, "Your prayers melt our hearts. You compose a prayer song and sing it." "How can I compose a prayer song?", I asked. He said, "You can do it!" I composed a song and sang at the prayer meetings. In that song I had incorporated the idea of unity of religions even at that age.
After listening to that song, all were surprised. After sometime, I left the school, declaring, "I am Sai. No one however great can ever understand Me. Give up your attempts to retain Me with you. I belong to the whole world!"
All were bewildered. They came behind Me crying, "Raju! Raju." Without answering anybody, I went straight to Anjaneyulu's garden. I sat on a rock there and started preaching, Manasa Bhajare Guru Charanam Dustara Bhava Sagara Taranam (Contemplate on the feet of the Divine Master who alone can help you to cross over the ocean of life and death.)" The next day, the Telugu teacher and also Mahbub Khan resigned from their teaching posts. They loved Me so much that they did not want to teach in the school without Me. Many other teachers followed their example. A Muslim boy was asked to go on the stage to lead the prayers. After coming on to the stage, he broke down thinking of Me. He could not sing the prayer. Others also started crying. From that day onwards, prayers were stopped.
There is a bond of pure love between teachers and students. Students can win over any teacher's heart and a teacher can win over students' hearts. If you want to be loved, you have to love others first. First and foremost, we should aspire for truth. The basis of Indian culture is, "Speak truth, practise right conduct." I was always very humble. Now also, I teach the same thing to students. You cannot always oblige, but you can speak always obligingly! But sometimes, one needs to be strict. That is what I do. I can be harder than diamond when the situation demands. Otherwise, I am softer than butter. Teachers understood this nature of Mine.
Teachers! If you want to take students into your confidence, you have to approach them with love. You have to point out their mistakes and lead them on the right path. Only then will they follow the right path and accept their mistakes. For the progress and prosperity of the nation, teachers should develop love for students and mould their character. Then the society will get many good citizens.
How to implement educare in the case of children from slum areas?
In order to mould the character of such children through educare programme, we have to visit their houses and help the people living there by taking up social service projects like cleaning and sanitation. Then they would develop the sense of cleanliness and keep their places clean. You can also take the help of Seva Dal members in such service projects.
Even students from schools can be taken to those areas and told to involve in service activities. Thereby the students would develop a liking for service activities.
How do you motivate children in educare programme?
It is not possible to make small children understand the essence of educare. They are too young to understand it. It can be introduced at the college level. However, at school level, we can cultivate good thoughts and good habits among students. We can also inspire their young hearts by narrating the stories of great persons of their respective lands, and exhorting them to follow the ideals set by them. For example, the life of Harischandra is a great ideal in adherence to truth.
How can we attract children of non-devotees to Sathya Sai Schools?
This is a very important question. Our students are our spokesmen. We have to reform the students so that they will attract the attention of their parents and bring about a good change in them. The parents may not know about Sai Baba. But when they see the good behaviour of their children because of the practising of the principles of Sai Baba, they will naturally change their minds. Students can also tell their parents that all their good behaviour is because of their joining the Sathya Sai schools. This will also attract other children to the Sathya Sai Schools.
Let us take for example the good practice of the students chanting 'Brahmarpanam' before partaking of food. Even the parents will be surprised at their devotion to God. If children explain to the parents the meaning of the prayer saying, "Food is given to us by God. Therefore, we must offer it to Him before partaking of it. Then the food becomes Prasadam and will not be tainted by impurities." Thus even the parents will learn to pray. This is the way to bring the parents on the right path through their children.
Whatever we do, we must do it properly. If any guests visit our house, we must speak to them courteously. We must offer them seats, make them comfortable and tell them, "Please be seated. Father will meet you in a few moments." Such behaviour will make the guests happy and will naturally appeal to the good sense of the guests, whether they are devotees or not. This is how we have to train our students so that they will attract others and be an example to them.
How do we deal with parents who do not follow Sai's teachings?
We must bring about a change in the parents through their children studying in our schools. For example, the parents of a student may be non-vegetarians. When the student goes home for vacation, he can bring about a change in his parents by narrating to them with humility the sanctity of eating vegetarian food. The student can tell his parent, "Mother, I cannot feed myself by killing another being. This is not good for me. This body, which is made up of flesh, should not be fed with flesh. Our body must be fed with nectar and not with flesh. Eating of flesh will induce in me animal feelings. We should eat only vegetarian food which God has provided for us." Thus, we can teach parents through students. And in course of time even the parents will stop eating non-vegetarian food. Many families have stopped eating non-vegetarian food after their children joined our institutions. Thus, it is easy to bring about transformation in the parents through students.
How to actively involve parents in educare programme?
It is very difficult to directly involve parents in the educare programme. Hence, educare must be taught to the parents through their children. Parents do not know what educare is. What will they understand if you speak about educare to them. Since you understand what educare is, you should teach them about it through your actions.
What is the role of technology like computers in education?
For Me Technology appears to be 'Trick-knowledge'. I don't have any computers. Swami has been saying this for the past five years. Now computers are also getting virus attacks like human beings. You should become a 'composer' and not a 'computer'. When does a computer get spoilt? It happens when something goes wrong in the head of the composer. You may use this technology to develop science. Firstly, set right the computer that God has given you. That is your head itself. Today, one uses computer for every small calculation. It looks ridiculous. God has given us a better calculator, our brain. Make use of its services. Of course, there are certain benefits accruing from computers. I do not deny it. You should use it depending on the need. You are all fascinated by the computer because of its novelty. But what has computer done to our society? It has developed easy-going nature in us and has caused unemployment. Unemployment leads to rise in crimes. Therefore, we should discard such machinery, which render many people jobless. Instead of that, you should encourage domestic industries, which will provide jobs to people in the home itself.
How to go about starting the first Sri Sathya Sai School in a country?
It is not possible for all to start schools, as all may not have the resources to do so. But they can start imparting educare through the Bal Vikas programme. Gradually, it can be upgraded into a school. Here I have an important point to make. The good work done by women in this field is highly appreciable. Men lag far behind in this aspect. Women are somehow finding time for Bal Vikas in spite of their daily chores. In this Kali Age, it is a good blessing for both women and children. Men too should come forward to participate in such work. Only then can the nation progress. Big schools and buildings can land us in worries when we lack resources. Let it be in a small scale.
What is Sai Baba's vision of the future of Sri Sathya Sai Schools around the world?
There is no need to worry about what awaits us in future. Do whatever you are supposed to, in the best way you can. This will lead you to a brighter future. Future is not sure, it is not in our hands. Present is important. Present is not ordinary present; it is omnipresent. Take care of the present, the future will take care of itself. Did you ever think in the past that you could grow to the present state of attending the conference? When you do good work that itself will bestow upon you a good future.
Can the children be recruited to higher classes in Sri Sathya Sai Schools directly or should they be admitted to only kindergarten classes?
There is no hard and fast rule that children should be admitted only to the lowest class. Depending on the situation you can even admit them to a higher class. There is nothing wrong about it.
Should Gayatri Mantra be chanted in Western Sathya Sai Schools?
You can do as per the dictates of your heart. If you feel its chanting bestows upon you benefits, you can do it. Gayatri is not a woman or this Mantra belongs to any particular religion or country. It is only the name and the form of a deity. It represents the three aspects of materialisation, vibration and radiation. These three are present in everyone irrespective of one's country and religion. In this Mantra, one prays for inspiration and stimulation of one's intelligence. I do not force anyone either to chant it or not to chant it. Mine is not 'force' but only 'source'. You can do whatever gives you joy.
I have answered your questions in brief. Purify your hearts and follow the Divine command. You can pray to God - Allah, Jesus, Krishna or Zoroastra. It does not make any difference. Develop virtues and get rid of vices. Sathya Sai is absolutely selfless; whatever I say, follow it implicitly. It will be good for you. Attain happiness and share it with others.

Shugesh: "So Bardock, why Planet Earth, to conquer it?"
Bardock: "No, I thought that such a backwater planet would stay below Frieza's radar, so that we can keep a low profile and train there until we are strong enough to overthrow him at some point, but I have a feeling that it's something that new generation will, but it still doesn't hurt to keep a low profile. "
Shugesh: "Fair enough, so Bardock how long until we get there?"
Bardock: "At this speed, a week at most, maybe two weeks if we have to refuel and refill our food and beverage supply."

Ticketmaster are selling tickets that start from £38.50. Click here to see Tickermaster's Witter - Gavin tickets.
On November 1st unbeaten prospect Frankie Gavin (13-0-0 10KO) comes up against former world champion Junior Witter (41-5-2 22KO). Witter's best days are behind him, but he will still be Gavin's toughest fight so far. Gavin is inexperienced with only thirteen fights to his name so if he is going to start looking at fighting European level guys then he needs to get some difficult domestic fights out of the way.
Witter is on a four match win streak that he started with a points win over Kevin Macintyre in 2011, but he is far from the champion we once knew. He became fodder for blue-chip prospects to test themselves against as far back as 2008 when he lost a split decision fight to Timothy Bradley, and Witter can't expect to get back to his old level.
Thaty said, Ricky Hatton is back on the scene and that might spur Witter on. He's spent his entire career chasing for a fight with the Hitman and never got one, so maybe with a win over Frankie Gavin and then a couple more good results Junior Witter can finally book himself a ticket to a Ricky Hatton fight.


When you have sinusitis, you would most definitely have to deal with the stuffiness caused by excess mucus trapped in your nose airways. Breathing normally seems not possible because of congestion. Severe headaches usually follow since pressure builds up in your head. Just imagine the discomfort it could bring when all symptoms attack at the same time.
It's the time of year when the weather is gearing towards chilly and colder temperatures. When temperatures go down, many people develop nose and respiratory illnesses. The common cold and virus statistics are higher throughout fall and winter seasons. Colder nights can mean reduced time outside. People stop exercising outdoors. Long walks are put to a halt. This situation may weaken a person's immune system and also makes the body susceptible to transmissions. One ailment through the cold weather is sinusitis. Sinus congestion is particularly the most common complaint of sinusitis sufferers.
It is a very effective method and yields longterm results. The treatment is associated with very less pain and bleeding and there is no need to utilize general anesthesia. Patients who do not respond to medical therapies are generally recommended for the procedure. It is offered by many reputed centers and is carried out by specialist professionals. This kind of surgery is extremely quick and the patient can carry on with his regular activities.
Unfortunately, no one is exempted from contracting this kind of feared condition. For a typical grownup, sinusitis and its signs can get you down and prevent you from doing your normal daily activities. But what happens when your child is the one diagnosed with sinusitis? What are the signs to watch out for? What sinus medicine should be administered for young kids on their growing years? If you are a mother or father concerned about your kid, here are some information you need to know about this dreaded condition.
For children who are not at risk of having an infection caused by resistant bacteria, they may be treated with a regular dose of amoxicillin. If your child is not enhancing with amoxicillin, or is at risk of having a resistant bacterial infection, then high serving amoxicillin ought to be used.
Stuffiness, sinus blockage, sinus headache and each sign related to sinusitis can be solved by doing a sinus flush. Many sinus flush treatments out on the market today are not all made a similar and do not give the guaranteed results. But one very effective way to do a nose flush is named aerosolized therapy. It uses the coolest and most lightweight device to pump fruit juice medication to the sinus location. Doctor-prescribed liquid medication in the form of antifungal, anti-inflammatory and antibiotic is employed.
The aerosol device pump produces very tiny particles (from 1.0 to three.2 micron) that travel directly to the location of contamination. Sinusitis patients report immediate relief after one use, but like any approved antibiotic medicine, a standard dose of treatment needs to be adopted. No worries about side effects. Since treatment is relevant in nature, medication is minimally absorbed in the system as opposed to dental medication or Iv.
People suffering from snoring and sleep apnea might want to use the Pillar procedure. This treatment is performed by placing three pillars in the soft palate to be able to strengthen it. Since the palate becomes rigid, vibration is lowered and snoring is reduced. The method is very fast, pain free which is performed under local anesthesia.
Symptoms The signs and symptoms of chronic sinusitis in children are not pathognomonic. Purulent rhinorrhea is by far the most prevalent symptom, but the discharge can also be obvious or mucoid. Chronic cough is also common. Nasal obstruction, headache, low-grade fever, irritability, fatigue, and also bad breath may also be present in varying degrees. Since these symptoms are relatively nonspecific, the nature of those symptoms can be ideas to the diagnosis of chronic sinus disease.
Sinusitis A sinus infection, or sinusitis, is the inflammation of the paranasal sinuses in the facial area.
These types of paranasal sinuses get inflamed or infected when trojan, things that trigger allergies or bacteria enter and occupy the nose cavity.
Sinusitis on Kids: What are the Symptoms?
For kids, sinusitis can manifest itself in different symptoms with respect to the age. Younger kids five years and below often experience stuffy and runny nose with slight fever. When the fever looks after a week of cold-like signs and symptoms, this could be a sign of sinusitis or other types of infection such as ear infection, bronchitis or pneumonia. Sinus headaches aren't indications of sinusitis as the sinuses in the forehead simply starts to develop on the sixth year and gets vulnerable to infection only on the teenage years.
All Stuffed Up Many feel lousy and unmotivated throughout a bout with sinusitis. Runny nose, stuffiness, itchy eyes, congestion, facial pain and also pressure, headache, a fever, fatigue, as well as postnasal drip happening as a whole dampens one's spirit. Sinusitis is now one of the main causes of absenteeism from work.
Some cases, only symptoms are being treated as well as the main cause of the problem still prevails.
Over the days, scientists and also researchers have come up with numerous medications, but all of them have failed to deliver good results.
Thus in some cases surgical procedures stays the only solution to chronic sinusitis.
FINess sinus treatment is one of the most safe and sophisticated methods of healing sinusitis.
It has been approved by Food and is the shortest and simple method to handle chronic sinusitis.
In this procedure, a microscopic endoscope is positioned through an opening in the upper lip.
The sinuses openings are located and so are seen with a cable and catheter based method.
Children that fail to respond to two antibiotics may be treated with intravenous cefotaxime or ceftriaxone and/or a referral to an ENT specialist.
Many parents often wonder - when is the actual right time to consult a doctor?
In children with chronic cough, sinusitis was the causative factor in children between the ages of 1 and 16. The cough is present during the daytime. Simply having a nocturnal cough could be a sign of gastroesophageal reflux or of asthma and not necessarily of chronic sinusitis.
For children suffering from sinusitis, a doctor would commonly prescribe dental antibiotics to get rid of the infection. Decongestants can be used to reduce nasal congestion. Antihistamines will also be useful in controlling allergies. Viruslike sinusitis tend to go away after some time even without using any sinus treatment. But for faster recovery, warm compresses and proper diet are known to boost a kid's immune system.
Because there are now bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics, so that the antibiotic may not be able to fight the infection, some guidelines also make recommendations on that antibiotics are most likely to be effective to treat children with sinusitis.
They also suffer from a fever, nasal congestion, ear pain, toothache and pressure or tenderness within the sinus areas.
Ask Your doctor You need your physician's advice when it comes to the right kind of sinus flush treatment method.
Ensure that you tell your doctor all the facts and symptoms of the sickness so he or she can make a thorough diagnosis and recommendation.
Question the latest sinus flush technology.
Medicated Irrigation Therapy Aside from nose flush treatment, nasal irrigation is very helpful in maintaining the health of the sinuses and nasal pathways. In particular, a method called medicated colonic irrigation therapy is an excellent tool to detox out external debris and excessive mucus secretions from the nasal passages. Persistent allergic rhinitis patients greatly benefit from medicated colonic irrigation therapy.
Treatment The most popular treatment of sinusitis is with antibiotics. Antibiotic treatment should be maintained continuously for at least 3 to be able to Four weeks, and even as long as 6 weeks. Antibiotic selection is usually empiric, since it is difficult to obtain nose aspirates in children without general anesthesia. Topical steroids can be employed in resistant instances, given that they may be of value in reducing mucosal edema and reestablishing ostial patency. The role of decongestants is unclear, although they have been shown to improve ostial and nasal patency in adults with chronic maxillary sinusitis.
Chronic sinusitis is often difficult to diagnose in children since they rarely present with the same signs or symptoms as adults. In addition, children have frequent upper respiratory tract infections (URI). It may be difficult to distinguish recurrent URIs from chronic sinus disease. The duration and severity of upper respiratory tract symptoms in children may be essential for diagnosing sinusitis. In general, most simple viral URIs in children last 5 to 1 week and produce mild to moderate symptoms. Even when the signs and symptoms persist for 10 nights, they are usually improved. Serious sinusitis is defined as the persistence of upper respiratory tract signs for more than 10, but less than 30 days, or even when high fevers and purulent nasal discharge are present. When symptoms persist over and above 30 days, it is defined as subacute or chronic sinusitis.
Sinusitis or rhinosinusitis is a swelling of the tissue coating of the sinus. The only treatment of the disease is FINess sinus. People who have received this treatment have been reported for instant and long term relief from the disease. Sinusitis can be serious when sinuses get clogged and are afflicted by microbes. Symptoms of this disease are headaches, swelling of the nasal tissue, operating nasal, watery eyes, coughs and cold and temperature. These may worsen as days overlook. Millions of people all round the world are being affected by this disease as well as problem arise when regular life activities are being hampered.
Many parents are worried on using sinus drugs on kids as drugs are known to have adverse side effects on the human body.
Who can blame them when research has shown that over the counter cold medications can cause more harm to children than good?
If you are a skeptic, why not try option treatment methods instead?
There are companies that offer relief from sinusitis without any side effects.
One example is through medicated irrigation, or just called nasal washing.
To know a little more about this form of therapy, consult your doctor now and ask if this is safe and effective for your child's sinusitis.
Rhinorrhea and chronic coughing are more commonly seen in younger children, whereas an older child may have postnasal drop along with a chronic sore throat. Older children also often complain of headaches, whereas the particular young child will often manifest pain as irritability, mood swings, and even resting the face on flu surface to be able to alleviate facial pain.
Focus on Mucus Mucus is a slippery substance produced by the mucous membrane. Did you know that the average human produces between a pint and a quart of mucus daily? The role of mucus is integral in protecting the lungs by trapping foreign elements entering through the nose. Mucus is normally slender as well as clear, but during a sinus infection, it turns thick yellow or green. Sinusitis can also be characterized by too much production of mucus that results in nasal blockage and obstruction.

BROADBAND BREAKFAST INSIGHT: A good attempt to "decode" the furor surrounding Facebook's artificial intelligence experiment, and all of those chattering robots. Scare stories aside, the opportunity for machine intelligence and human intelligence to complement each other is truly remarkable.
The 'creepy Facebook AI' story that captivated the media | Facebook has been experimenting with AIs that negotiate with each other, by the BBC.
The newspapers have a scoop today - it seems that artificial intelligence (AI) could be out to get us.
"'Robot intelligence is dangerous': Expert's warning after Facebook AI 'develop their own language'", says the Mirror.
Similar stories have appeared in the Sun, the Independent, the Telegraph and in other online publications.
It sounds like something from a science fiction film - the Sun even included a few pictures of scary-looking androids.
So, is it time to panic and start preparing for apocalypse at the hands of machines?

Six Sigma team members often ask, "How much data do I need to establish the baseline?" for a process that is unstable. There is no valid statistical calculation for sample size in this situation, but that is not much comfort when you are trying to develop a sampling plan in the early stages of your Six Sigma project.
It is possible to apply common sense to the problem and to judge whether the samples taken are likely to give a reliable result for process capability – even to offer a range within which the true value probably lies. Here is how to go about it, including an Excel spreadsheet that can be used as a template for the calculation.
Spread your data collection over as long a period of time as practical (so long as you are satisfied that the measurement system is reliable throughout – remember to be careful with historical data). This will enable you to see as much of the long-term variation as possible. If possible, continue gathering your baseline measurements in parallel with the analyse phase of your project.
Take account of any known patterns in the process performance – is there a monthly, quarterly or annual cycle? If so, you should make sure that your sampling plan covers the full range of circumstances.
Does the process suffer occasional, severe problems? If so, you will need to understand their frequency and severity well enough to assess whether the samples taken are typical of the overall process performance. Make sure that you capture a representative mix of these problems along with the day-to-day performance levels.
Be realistic: if your process has special cause variation, you should expect to need a greater sample size. The sample size formula normally used¹ is based on population sampling. Process sampling is inherently more susceptible to special causes.
The best way to evaluate this is to plot the way the average capability varies as you gather your data (we will call this the cumulative average). This enables you to get at least an intuitive feel for when you have enough data – as the cumulative average flattens out, despite the special causes that may occur from time to time, you start to build some confidence that you have seen 'enough' data. If the graph remains unstable or continues to trend up or down, this indicates that the more recent samples are above or below the level you have previously seen, and you need to continue gathering data until the cumulative average has stabilized.
How long should you wait, after the cumulative average has roughly leveled off, before being satisfied that you've seen enough? You will need to use your own judgment and knowledge of the behaviour of the process to decide. You might have seen the graph look perfectly level for a month because a problem that crops up every few weeks has not occurred during that time. This would not be sufficient to conclude that you have taken enough data. The best guideline is: If the cumulative average capability seems to be roughly stable over a period when the special causes are fairly representative, you should be safe to conclude your baselining study.
If you are measuring defects in batches, enter the number of samples in each batch in cell D2 – otherwise, leave it set to 1.
For each batch (or single unit) that you have checked, enter the date when it was taken in column B and the number of defectives in column C. The graph will continuously update as you enter your data.
Since when has the blue line been roughly level? We'll call the time since then the verification period – the time during which our estimated capability does not vary greatly, giving us an indication that we have taken enough samples.
If you are satisfied that the blue line has been approximately level over a period when the process has experienced its normal range of special causes, you can use the value given in cell D4, which is the average defect percentage for your whole sample.
You may be interested (you should be interested) in having some sort of a range on your estimate of the percentage defective. This gives you a feel for how much you can rely on your figure. The spreadsheet can provide this.
Enter the date from which you believe the cumulative average has been approximately level (the beginning of the verification period) into cell E6.
The graph will be updated for the verification period with green lines that indicate the range within which the true capability probably lies.
These lines are not statistically valid confidence intervals – those rely on special causes being absent – so we will refer to the gap between them as the estimate range.
If the spread between the green lines is too great for your needs, you don't have enough data. The gap between these lines reduces in approximate proportion to the square root of the sample size – so if you want to halve the gap, you need to quadruple the sample size. You should, of course, expect to have to take more samples when there are special causes present than when there are not.
For information: The estimate range is calculated by adding the conventional confidence interval to the range of percentage defective estimates seen during the verification period.
Below is a sample graph produced by the Excel spreadsheet. It relates to documentation processing. For each document, the time required to process was measured and a defect was recorded if this exceeded the company's standard. In the example, the estimated percentage defective is 50.8 percent, and we expect the true value to lie between 45 percent and 58 percent. For a stable process with about 50 percent defectives, we would need about 240 samples to obtain a confidence interval of ± 6.5 percent. Here, we took 360 samples and got an estimate range of ± 6.5 percent. The special cause variation drove the necessary increase in sample size.

4 ideal Chase Claypool trade scenarios from the Pittsburgh Steelers
Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports
Chase Claypool has been extremely productive in his first two-plus seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers after they made the former Notre Dame standout a second-round pick back in 2020.
That included the 24-year-old Claypool tallying north of 800 receiving yards in each of his first two seasons. Apparently, this is not enough for a struggling Steelers organization to view him as an important part of their future.
According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Claypool was the subject of trade talks during the preseason. Fowler notes that Claypool is also a name to watch ahead of the Nov. 1 NFL trade deadline.
Still young and under team control through the 2023 season, Claypool will draw a ton of interest on the trade market. That includes contenders and non-contenders alike. In turn, Pittsburgh is said to be demanding a nice bounty in return. Below, we look at four ideal Chase Claypool trade scenarios from the Steelers.

Chicago Bears finally provide Justin Fields with a legitimate weapon
We mean no disrespect in the direction of Darnell Mooney. He looked darn good for Chicago a season ago. Unfortunately, the youngster has struggled connecting with Justin Fields thus far in 2022. He's recorded just 17 receptions and is catching 51.5% of his targets through six games.
With Fields continuing to go through growing pains, finding a 6-foot-4 pass-catcher would be a major boon for new general manager Ryan Poles. The second-year quarterback doesn't have someone who boasts the catch radius as Claypool. Perhaps, Chicago offers up a second-round pick in 2023 and another high-round selection in 2024 to get this done.

Kansas City Chiefs go all in with Chase Claypool
At 4-2 on the season, it doesn't seem that Kansas City is missing recently-traded wide receiver Tyreek Hill too much. But that's just on the surface. New additions JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling have combined for one touchdown in six games. Mecole Hardman has not stepped up at the rate Kansas City expected to open the season.
Chase Claypool stats (2022): 23 receptions, 225 yards, 1 TD, 63.9% catch rate
Even with a downtick in production, Claypool would be second among Chiefs wide receivers in receptions. Getting Patrick Mahomes that type of consistency out of the slot would be pretty big. It would also enable Smith-Schuster to play more out on the boundary. Kansas City could entice Pittsburgh with its first-round pick in 2023 to get this done.

New York Giants look to ignite strong start with Chase Claypool
Robert Deutsch-USA TODAY Sports
Despite major issues at wide receiver, the Giants find themselves at a shocking 5-1 on the season following their upset win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 5. Whether this is sustainable moving forward remains to be seen. What we do know is that new general manager Joe Schoen could very well look to provide an upgrade at wide receiver ahead of the Nov. 1 NFL trade deadline.
Heading into Week 7, Richie James lead all Giants receivers with 19 catches. The only active receiver on the active roster that has done anything of substance with Sterling Shepard out for the season is David Sills with a mere nine catches. If New York wants to help Daniel Jones improve under center, sending multiple early-round picks to Pittsburgh for Claypool makes a ton of sense.
Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers embarrassed at home: 3 ways to overcome struggles
Green Bay Packers answer Aaron Rodgers' call
Fresh off a brutal two-game losing streak at the hands of the Jets and Giants, Aaron Rodgers has made it clear that Green Bay general manager Brian Gutekunst should make a move ahead of the deadline.
"There's the possibility if certain guys emerge of us having a chance to make a run. I know Brian believes the same thing. But if there's an opportunity, I would expect that Brian will be in the mix."
Green Bay Packers' Aaron Rodgers on potential trade
Rookie Romeo Doubs leads Packers receivers with 26 catches. Though, he's averaging just nine yards per catch. Allen Lazard is second with 20 receptions while an injured Randall Cobb comes in third. It's time for the struggling Packers to make a play for someone. And in reality, someone of Chase Claypool's ilk makes the most sense.

Were Meghan Markle and Trevor Engelson in Love?
Were Meghan Markle and Trevor Engelson in Love? A Body-Language Expert Weighs In
An expert compares Meghan and Trevor's body language to Meghan and Harry's.
By Elizabeth Narins Published: Apr 2, 2018

Body language can reveal many truths about relationships — but only if you know how to read it. In Celebrity Couples: Decoded, an expert interprets A-listers' interactions to shed light on their IRL dynamic.
Before she snagged an IRL prince, future princess Meghan Markle was married to producer Trevor Engelson: The duo dated for about seven years before marrying in Jamaica in September 2011, then divorced in August 2013 after two years of marriage, with Meghan citing irreconcilable differences, according to royal biographer Andrew Morton's new book, Meghan, A Hollywood Princess.
You know how the story ends: In November 2017, after a little more than a year of dating publicly, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle became engaged. Ahead of their royal wedding, North Carolina-based body-language expert Blanca Cobb reveals whether she sees sparks in Meghan's previous relationship and how the bride-to-be's body language differs when she's around Prince Harry:
~DATING~
Meghan and Trevor stand as one.
Meghan and Trevor attend a photo exhibit in August 2006 in East Hampton, NY.
"There is some emotion between Meghan and her ex," Cobb says of this early photo: Meghan and Trevor face each other in a close embrace — see Trevor's hand wrapped around Meghan's back, pulling her in, with her chest pressed against his? "You don't get that close with somebody if you don't like that person, and the closer you get, the more comfortable you are," Cobb says.
To that end, she notes the stiffness in Meghan's posture: The way her upper body is twisted toward Trevor forces her to stand erect. "It doesn't look natural," Cobb says. "She could be trying to look at the camera or, since straightening her back in this position would give her a little bit of physical distance, she could be sending a subtle, nonverbal signal that this amount of closeness is too much."
Even more notable, however, is Meghan's facial expression: "It's a social, polite smile," Cobb says of the way her eyes aren't crinkling at the edges, as they do in genuine smiles.
Trevor isn't exactly glowing, either: "That's not a smile, and there's tension in his forehead, which suggests some kind of stress. Without a smile, there's no congruency," Cobb says, suggesting the couple wasn't emotionally in tune when this photo was taken.
Meghan and Prince Harry sit side-by-side.
Meghan and Prince Harry attend the Invictus Games 2017 in September 2017 in Toronto, Canada.
"Her smile is different here," Cobb immediately notices: Meghan's cheeks are pushed up, plus her upper teeth are showing prominently, and there's crinkling around her eyes as she gazes at Prince Harry. Meanwhile, he looks just as happy, reflecting Meghan's expression and mirroring her body language, which suggests they're on the same page.
Cobb likes the way they engage with each other despite the space between them, a product of the context — they're seated side-by-side at a stadium. "Touch is a good sign, but not the only indicator of closeness," she says, adding that physical proximity reinforced by welcoming body language — like Meghan crossing her leg toward Harry — can do the trick, too.
~BIG MILESTONES~
Meghan and Trevor celebrate their wedding.

Trevor's wide smile here is starkly different from his grimace in the previous snapshot — a sign of genuine happiness, according to Cobb. Meanwhile Meghan's smile is smaller, her gaze coquettish: "She has her chin tucked down — it's flirtatious and playful, and sexy," Cobb says.
Although the newlyweds face each other and hold their drinks in the same way, there's still some incongruence, according to Cobb: "They look happy but mismatched. It's their wedding day — her smile should be as radiant as his."
Meghan and Harry announce their engagement.
Prince Harry and Meghan pose at Kensington Palace following their engagement announcement in November 2017.
Here, Meghan shows off her biggest smile yet — her cheeks, eyes, and mouth are all beaming. Caught in mid-wave or warning — he could be gesturing for photographers to back up in a cute, protective way — Harry has a more controlled smile. "Their expressions aren't mirroring one another," Cobb says of the couple in this context. Still, Harry's feet are turned toward Meghan, a sign he's into her since your toes tend to point in the direction of people and places you'd like to move toward.
Meanwhile, Meghan is leaning toward Harry with their heads nearly touching. "You don't get close to people you don't feel emotionally close to, particularly when it comes to your head, which is a very vulnerable part of the body," she says. "You have to feel intimacy and love to go there."

Meghan and Trevor pose for a photographer.
One month after marrying, Meghan and Trevor attend an Anti-Defamation League event in Beverly Hills, California in October 2011.
First off, Trevor gazes right into the camera lens while Meghan smiles — genuinely — but looks elsewhere. "A smile is reflective of your internal state, you can smile when you're in a good mood without responding to a person," Cobb says, although the source of Meghan's joy is unclear.
Trevor draws his new wife close with an arm around her waist, letting Meghan position her right shoulder slightly ahead of his left. This shows he's there to support her while simultaneously awarding her the spotlight. This makes sense, since his pocketed hand suggests he's a bit uncomfortable, which could explain why his smile still shines dimmer than Meghan's. There's no tension in Meghan's fingers, suggesting she's more comfortable than Trevor in this context. A reoccurring mismatch, Cobb says, could mark a couple that's not emotionally in sync.
Meghan and Prince Harry are captured by a photographer.
Meghan and Harry visit Northern Ireland in March 2018.
"When you tilt your head toward someone and look them in the eye, it shows you're listening and find them important," says Cobb, noting that Meghan could have looked anywhere while she listened but chose to engage this way. "It's a great sign."
Cobb's not concerned by Harry looking elsewhere: "You tend to look at others more while you're listening rather than talking, it's an artifact of conversation," she says.
Although Meghan and Harry stand inches from one another, Harry gestures with his left hand and leans forward, invading Meghan's personal space. "If she's comfortable with it, it's good thing. You lean toward people who capture your heart." Cobb says, noting the lack of tension in Meghan's hands, which suggest she's good to go.
"There isn't anything glaring that's like, 'Ah-ha! I can see why they divorced!' " Cobb says of Meghan and Trevor's interactions. "But Meghan shows more engagement with Harry and seems more in tune with him. Whether it's a candid or professional shot, there's no question in my mind there's a lot of love between them."

At Least Three Tornadoes Confirmed in Carolinas
Only one tornado warning was issued inside of the WCCB Charlotte viewing area, but it was well-warranted.
James Scott,
STANLEY, N.C. — Another active weather scene across the Southeast produced at least four tornadoes in the Carolinas Thursday night. The National Weather Service (NWS) in Greenville-Spartanburg has confirmed an EF-0 tornado near Stanley in Gaston County, and an EF-1 in Laurens County, located in Upstate South Carolina. The Stanley tornado generated winds of 75 miles per hour and was on the ground for roughly six miles before lifting. Overall damage appears to be minor, limited to snapped branches and a few uprooted trees.
"This [tornado] touched down a little after 6 PM last night," NWS meteorologist Trisha Palmer told WCCB News, "We're going to go back and compare this to the radar data and get an exact time, as well."
Another EF-1 touched down near the Greenwood County Airport north of Greenwood, SC.
Fortunately, no injuries or deaths were reported from the three Carolina tornadoes. Other states were not so lucky.
Multiple significant tornadoes also tore their way through Alabama, Georgia, and Kentucky Thursday night, leaving damage and death in their wake. Officials in Alabama and Georgia have confirmed at least nine deaths have occurred across the two states from the storms.
January isn't known as an active month for tornadoes, but this month is off to a hot start. Typically, the United States sees just over 40 tornadoes in the first month of the year; this January, we've already had 70 twisters touch down across the country — and we're not even halfway through it.
via Ian Livingston, ustornadoes.com
The arrival of colder air in winter usually leads to less energy available for severe storms. Notably, this hasn't been the case so far for much of this season. Temperatures 15-20° above average settled into much of the Southeast ahead of this system, providing ample instability needed for destructive tornadoes.
As our climate continues to warm, tornado season may continue to extend well into the winter.

Gutfeld reveals the 'root cause' of crime in the United States – Fox News
Greg Gutfeld blamed skyrocketing crime rates in the nation's largest cities on the redefinition of law and order as "systemically racist" Friday on "The Five."
"The bottom line here is…we've redefined law and order as systemically racist. So any time you enforce the law, you're going to be called a racist, which is the most effective method for undermining society. We're watching society implode. I feel absolutely hopeless," he said.
"…I am thinking about joining the dark side," he added. "Why bother being a law-abiding citizen and pay all these taxes and go shopping when you can just smash and grab?… If you can't beat them, join them."
LA POLICE BLAST LIBERAL 'ZERO BAIL' POLICY AMID RASH OF LOOTING: 'CHRISTMAS EVERY DAY FOR CRIMINALS'
The "Gutfeld!" host explained that "the root cause of crime is progressivism." More specifically, it is the left's "misunderstanding of incentives" like no bail.
Bank of America has told its New York City employees to dress down to avoid being victimized by street crimes.

New York City Mayor-Elect, Eric Adams, takes photos with people celebrating during the world's largest Hanukkah Menorah on the first night of Hannukah at Grand Army Plaza on November 28, 2021 in New York City. ( )
"We are allowing the media [and] the White House to redefine crime as like a weather pattern. Like, you know, 'You go out there, be sure and bundle up; dress like a hobo…'," Gutfeld said.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki recently said that "a root cause [of crime] in a lot of communities is the pandemic," prompting "The Five" co-host Dana Perino to call for the White House to ban the phrase "root causes."
"They have so many root cause issues that they're not actually addressing," she said.
"…[Co-host] Jessica [Tarlov]'s made some great points this week about you can't tell people that what they're seeing with their own eyes isn't happening, because that's the surest way to make sure that you are going to fail in elections and then you can't get any of your policies done," Perino continued.
Co-host Dagen McDowell referenced "myriad problems" associated with New York City's crime wave, including bail reform, discovery reform and the Right to Know Act.
"Nobody wants to live here anyway. It's a hellhole," she remarked.

So what do I buy at estate sales? Things like Sexton cast metal hoot owls from 1969 in a perfect shade of avocado green to match my office ($10). And, a Hoover Constellation vacuum cleaner, circa 1955, purchased from this wonderful time capsule house. I am not (yet) and historian on vintage appliances, but this purchase gave me the opportunity to read up on the Hoover Constellation – a very historic vacuum cleaner, initially for its atomic space age shape and then, because the design was tweaked so that the vacuum cleaner actually floated on air, buoyed from the bottom by its own exhaust. Mine is one of the earliest models – the booklet still with it indicates it was purchased in 1955. The vacuum hose attaches from the top.
e user would place the unit in the center of the room, and work around the cleaner.
Introduced in 1952, they are collectible, and are easily identified by the spherical shape of the canister. They tended to be loud, had poor cleaning power, and could not float over carpets. But they remain an interesting machine; restored, they work well in homes with lots of hardwood floors.
Hoover has now re-released an updated version of this later model Constellation in the US (model # S3341 in Pearl White and # S3345 in stainless steel). Changes include a HEPA filtration bag, a 12 amp motor, a suction turbine powered rotating brush floor head, and a redesigned version of the handle, which tended to break.
This same model was marketed in the UK under the Maytag brand, with the model being the Satellite. Same machine, different badges, owing to licensing restrictions.
The 5.2 amp motor on older US units provides respectable suction but they all lack a motorized brush head. Therefore they generally work better on hard floors or short pile rugs. Old units take Hoover type J paper bags but the slightly smaller type S allergen filtration bags can be easily trimmed to fit the retaining notches on the old vacuums. Replacement motors are still available from Hoover US for some models.
Hoover made another hovering vacuum cleaner model called the Celebrity in 1973. It has a flattened "flying saucer" shape. Hoover added wheels to it make it a conventional canister model after a brief run as a hovering vacuum. It uses type H bags.
Hi Dave, we do not do valuations here.

Part 68: Ham and Cheese - End
Aye, whatever. Just let me out now!
But first, I have a present for you.
I don't mind the puzzle piece, but I'd rather not have Keelan Makepeace.
Give over! The dog's actually your dad? Keelan Makepeace, the Jigsaw Puzzle killer?
Correct. The case you just solved was one of the Jigsaw Puzzle killings.
It's a very special one. Papa always chose victims he didn't know. But in this case, he bent the rules.
However fascinating you might find it, we're still talking about innocent people's lives being taken here.
Poor Papa owed that fat pig so much money.
Suddenly he flipped, and decided to kill him instead of pay him back.
But don't you think it's strange?
You solved the case. In other words, you would have caught my father.
Assuming that someone put a stop to Lucy's idea that Hen did it at some point.
Ee, I caught the Jigsaw Puzzle Killer, eh? Not bad going, even if I say so myself.
Yet at the time, they didn't manage to catch Papa.
And they didn't manage to catch him after that, either. He went on killing.
Well, obviously whoever were assigned the case back then didn't know what they were doing.
Lucy doesn't seem to have a very good memory.
Really? I wonder...
Oh? I solved it now with no complaints, didn't I?
That's not what I meant. Here, look at this.
Oh, this is the actual case report, eh? Let's have a look then...
Yes. But look more closely.
Notice any evidence that's missing?
Aye, you're right.
Well no wonder then. Without them, you can't possibly figure out who did it.
That's not the only thing about the case file that's strange. DCI stands for Detective Chief Inspector, and is a senior rank to Inspector, yet Alfendi is always referred to as Inspector (or DI), which implies that he may have been demoted at some point.
I remember something my poor, drunk father said to me at the time.
'I can get away with anything' he said, 'because I've got friends in the force.'
Isn't it obvious?
That man is...
He killed Papa.
Despite how she may appear most of the time, Diane is really in a lot of pain.
Diane disconnects from the speaker.
A passageway? That's a bit unexpected.
The Prof must be just up ahead.
To press it or not to press it, that's the question.
Ee, I really want to press it.
It's definitely a bonus to have all this paperwork ont' case.
But I do hate paperwork.
Maybe joining the police wasn't the greatest idea then.
I can't try to escape this way, it's too risky. There's no telling what Diane might do.
I wonder if Diane baked these? Ee, they don't half smell good.
She hardly seems distraught, does she?
What is it about victims' wives? Since I started work at the Mystery Room, they're all cold fish like this.
Ee, them eyes are dead scary. I hate masks.
I hate to leave any stone unturned. I'd dearly love to break open the other locked drawers, but best not. I don't imagine Diane'd take too kindly to it if I did.
She's killed someone just to set up a reconstruction of some old case...
It must have some special significance or summat.
She's even sorted out this forensics report.
Just what is she playing at?
