MIAMI—A journalist friend in New York with good ideas and a big heart had been reading reports about Haiti and its worn, unproductive and often dangerous landscape.
THE EVERGLADES—The sawgrass and cattails, green with brown accents, bent in the late afternoon wind. Sunlight glinted off the tight ripples scudding across the ponds and little bays. A turkey buzzard shot sideways on an easterly gust.

An excerpt from, "Positive Time Out: An Over 50 Ways to Avoid Power Struggle in Homes and Classrooms."
Many parents and teachers say ludicrous things such as "Go to your room (or to the corner) and think about what you did." I'm amazed that many adults don't know the answer when I ask, "Do you know why that is a ludicrous statement?" They come up with all kinds of responses such as, "The child might be too angry to think about it." "He might fall asleep." "She might not understand what she did wrong." All of these statements are true, but what is ludicrous is the assumption that we can control what a child thinks. A look of awareness appears on their faces when I ask, "Do you really think you can control what a child thinks?
Positive time out allows children (and adults) space to calm down until they are again functioning from their rational brain (the cortex)--so they can problem-solve and learn. Positive time out encourages children to form positive beliefs about themselves, their world, and their behavior. In this state of mind, they can learn from their mistakes and/or problem solve on how to make amends for any hurt or damage their behavior might have caused.
1. All people (including children) deserve dignity and respect. A basic principle of Adlerian psychology--the philosophy of maintaining dignity and respect for all human beings--must be incorporated before time out can be used as an effective, encouraging experience that helps children, instead of an experience that creates humiliation and loss of dignity and respect.
Let it be stated again: "Where did we ever get the crazy idea that to make children do better, we must first make them feel worse?" The truth is that children do better when they feel better--not when they are discouraged about themselves. Therefore, the number one criterion for positive time out is that it be used to help children feel better, not to make them feel worse.
Children under the age of 2-1/2 should not be sent to time out unless they choose it--which may be very rare--or unless you go with them. There are, of course, exceptions to most rules. One mother approached me after a lecture and shared how she used positive time out successfully with her 18-month-old child. She said her son, Jason, had a satin pillow that he liked very much. He seemed to find this pillow very soothing. When Jason seemed cranky, she would say to him, "Would you like to lay on your comfy pillow for awhile?" Sometimes he would just toddle off to his pillow and lie down until he felt better. If he hesitated, she would ask, "Do you want me to go with you?" When he wanted her to go with him, they would just snuggle for awhile, or they would look at one of his picture books. Soon he would be ready to toddle off again to busily explore his world.

Recibió la Ordenación Episcopal de manos del Emmo. Sr. Cardenal José Humberto Quintero Parra, Arzobispo de Caracas.

Obispo de la Diócesis de Valencia en Venezuela
Asume el cargo de V Obispo de la Diócesis de Valencia en Venezuela, el 6 de enero de 1973. Si Mons. Lebrún, como buen Pedagogo, enseñó los nuevos cambios realizados por el Concilio Vaticano II, Mons. Henríquez hizo cumplir con mucho celo esos cambios. Él mismo dejó escrito lo que significó esta reforma:

El Concilio Vaticano II, suscitó una saludable renovación doctrinal, institucional y disciplinar, pero dentro de este movimiento renovador, se ha notado también –quizás como fenómeno de asentamiento- un verdadero cuarteamiento institucional y un desconcierto espiritual, no solamente en Venezuela, sino a nivel de todo el orbe católico. (…). Entre nosotros, dentro de una sana y valiosa renovación litúrgica, que ha hecho participar más activa y fructuosamente a los fieles en el culto y en la vida sacramental, no han faltado abusos caprichosos por parte de individuos o de grupos, en la celebración de la Eucaristía o los sacramentos, que no solamentehan herido y desconcertado a la mayoría de los fieles que se siente tocado en lo más íntimo como es su relación con Dios, sino que hasta han conllevado desviaciones doctrinales y peligros para la misma fe… (…) Más, por desgracia, no siempre se ha tenido la prudencia necesaria y el equilibrio en las reformas. Se han sacrificado algunos auténticos valores tradicionales; ha disminuido la intensidad de la vida interior; se ha amortiguado el sentido hacia Dios al afirmar con demasiada vehemencia un horizontalismo sociopolítico… Todo esto ha traído un número notable de abandonos al sacerdocio y a la vida religiosa….

Arzobispo de Valencia en Venezuela
El primer Arzobispo, corresponde a Mons. Luis Eduardo Henríquez Jiménez, el primer valenciano que recibe el Palio Arzobispal.  Su preocupación, en todo su Episcopado, fue cultivar una buena formación doctrinal a todos los fieles cristianos, especialmente a los futuros sacerdotes para una excelente pastoral diocesana. Como muestra de su preocupación nunca dejó de participar como profesor del Seminario Nuestra Señora del Socorro, al cual elevó, en el año 1983, a la categoría de Seminario Mayor, creando la Escuela de Filosofía. Mons. Henríquez conocía la realidad de su Diócesis por su continua Visita Pastoral, como la realizaron sus predecesores.

Ya hemos hecho referencia muchas veces por la preocupación de los Obispos de Valencia hacia el crecimiento de la población, aspecto éste que se acentuó más aún durante los años del Episcopado de Mons. Henríquez. En una Carta Circular, con fecha 29 de enero de 1978, por motivo del nombramiento de su Obispo Auxiliar Mons. José Joaquín Troconis, escribía lo siguiente:
La Arquidiócesis de Valencia que comprende todo el Estado Carabobo crece con ritmo acelerado en habitantes; es la zona de Venezuela más altamente industrializada que progresa sin cesar e impulsa la transformación de nuestro Estado. Valencia tiene una Universidad con decenas de millares de estudiantes y una vida cultural extensa. Estos factores y otros más hacen que sea muy difícil cumplir solos, a cabalidad, todas las tareas Episcopales.

La escasez de sacerdotes que siempre tuvo la Diócesis se hizo notar con más fuerza por la necesidad pastoral en ella. A pesar de esto, Mons. Henríquez crea, a los pocos meses de tomar Posesión Canónica, una nueva Parroquia "Corpus Christi", en Tarapío, Naguanagua, el 20 de julio de 1973. Durante su pontificado creó las siguientes Parroquias: "Sagrado Corazón de Jesús", en La Isabelica, el 20 de septiembre de 1974; "Cristo Rey", en Nueva Guacara, el 2 de febrero de 1975; "Nuestra Señora de La Luz" (hoy Santa Eduvigis), en la Vivienda Rural de Bárbula, el 16 de julio de 1975; se creó la Vicaría de El Naipe con las Hermanitas de los Pobres de Maiquetía, el 18 de abril de 1977; "Nuestra Señora de La Medalla Milagrosa", en Yagua, el 27 de enero de 1980; "La Sagrada Familia", en la zona sur de Valencia, el 11 de septiembre de 1989; "Nuestra Señora de La Medalla Milagrosa" (hoy la Ascensión del Señor), en Agua Blanca, el 12 de marzo de 1990; también, en esa misma fecha se creó la de "San Antonio de Padua", en Prebo; y "San José de Calasanz", en la zona sur de Valencia, el 26 de marzo de 1990.

Después de una larga espera, el 12 de noviembre de 1974, la Diócesis recibió el rango de Arquidiócesis, otorgado por el Santo Padre Pablo VI. Así se convierte Mons. Henríquez en el primer Arzobispo de Valencia. Se le asignaron como Diócesis Sufragáneas la de Maracay y la de San Carlos. Esto es el signo visible de una Iglesia en expansión espiritual y pastoral. El acto de elevación deDiócesis a Arquidiócesis se efectuó el 2 de febrero de 1975. Con ello la Iglesia valentina comenzó un nuevo proceso de organización pastoral.

En 1978 la Arquidiócesis estrenó su primer obispo auxiliar; fue un sacerdote zuliano, monseñor José Joaquín Troconis Montiel, quien asumió el cargo de auxiliar y vicario general de la Arquidiócesis, el 2 de febrero de ese año. Cuatro años después, monseñor Henríquez solicitó otro obispo auxiliar, y fue nombrado un sacerdote carabobeño, monseñor Nelson Antonio Martínez Rust. El 2 de enero de 1983 Mons. Henríquez creó la Vicaría Episcopal de Puerto Cabello, encomendada a la atención directa de su segundo Obispo Auxiliar Mons. Martínez Rust. La capacidad organizativa de Mons. Henríquez le permitió visitar pastoralmente toda la Arquidiócesis de Valencia.

Con el primer Arzobispo de Valencia, Mons. Henríquez, comienza a crearse en la Arquidiócesis un clima de amor y respeto a la Teología incancelable sobre el Ministerio Sacerdotal o sobre la vida y formación de los futuros sacerdotes. Su profundidad y sabiduría, su vida y su Teología, la expresaba ya desde el inicio de su Episcopado, como Obispo Auxiliar de Caracas:
He procurado, pues, hurtar a mis tareas episcopales para dedicarme al estudio del sacerdocio y sus problemas; movido, no por el temor y la preocupación ante la crisis, el desconcierto y hasta la desbandada sacerdotal, sino por amor y fidelidad a ese inefable don que es nuestro sacerdocio, incancelablemente arraigado en nuestra vida.
En sus Bodas de Oro Sacerdotales y de Plata Episcopales fueron publicadas algunas Homilías cargadas de esa misma Teología profunda, que expresaban su celo y desvelo por el Ministerio Sacerdotal. "En otras palabras -como lo expresaba el Señor Cardenal José Alí Lebrún Moratinos - no sólo nos convence que cree en las verdades que expone, sino que siente y vive estas verdades y ajusta su conducta y su palabra a ellas como algo existencial... (Las homilías) dejan en el alma un gran aprecio al sacerdocio, a las enseñanzas de la fe y a las virtudes cristianas y sacerdotales. Ha sabido componer sus discursos con piedad, con teológica solidez y resaltante belleza literaria".

Una de las obras que realizó Mons. Henríquez fue el "Centro Vocacional Monseñor Salvador Montes de Oca", destinado a los ejercicios espirituales del Clero y encuentros vocacionales para los futuros seminaristas.
Fortaleció la formación y promoción del laicado valenciano, teniendo como prioridad la Catequesis de Adultos, ubicando el Secretariado Catequístico en una sede propia. En 1974, gracias a Mons. Henríquez, pudo reanudarse la publicación del Boletín Diocesano, "que es hoy día una verdadera cantera para el estudio de la vida de la Iglesia en Carabobo", como lo expresó el II Arzobispo de Valencia, Mons. Urosa, en su ponencia de incorporación a la Academia de Historia del Estado Carabobo. Por el espíritu infatigable de Mons. Henríquez de estar siempre al día, el año 1985 convocó el Segundo Sínodo Arquidiocesano de Valencia. La primera Ordenación la realizó el 15 de agosto de 1973, recibiendo el Orden Sacerdotal el Diácono Jorge Salinas. El 30 de junio de 1974 recibió el Orden Sacerdotal el Diácono Paolo Borelli (Operario). El 24 de mayo de 1975 fue ordenado Sacerdote el Diácono Oscar Ignacio Vargas (Salesiano). En ese mismo año, el 9 de noviembre fue ordenado Sacerdote el Diácono Eduardo González Castillo. También, ese año, el 8 de diciembre recibió Ordenación Sacerdotal el Diácono Eduardo Álvarez Martínez. El 14 de agosto de 1976 se le confirió el Orden Sacerdotal al Diácono Reinaldo del Prette Lissot (futuro Obispo).

El total de ordenaciones en el pontificado de Mons. Henríquez fueron las siguientes: 1977: Esteban Armas, Jesús Chávez, Ricardo Guerra, Iván Mestre; 1980: Miguel Alfredo Jiménez Flores; 1981: William Guerra Marrero, Máximo Cristóbal de Jesús Rodríguez León; 1982: Pitter Antonio Fernández Molina; 1983: Roberto Rodolfo Sipol Hereschweriger, Oscar Alberto Martínez Ramírez, José Francisco Jiménez Rodríguez; 1984: Luis Alberto Parada Salcedo, Tulio Luis Ramírez Padilla, Jesús Guitián Escobar; 1985: Rudy Rajk Miscovich; 1986: Eduardo Bericoto Villegas, Noel Alberto Herrera, Moises W.

Y un Diácono Permanente: Rafael Cury.

El 17 de marzo de 1990, la Santa Sede publicó la aceptación de la renuncia que presentó a su Gobierno Episcopal el Señor Arzobispo Mons. Henríquez, al cumplir sus 75 años de edad. Falleció este insigne Obispo el 8 de agosto de 1991.

News - February 28, 2018
Facebook's 'Willow Village' gets first public review
by Kate Bradshaw
The doors are opening for the public to weigh in on Facebook's biggest Menlo Park development yet.
On Monday, Feb. 26, the proposed "Willow Village" development was scheduled to go before Menlo Park's Planning Commission for a study session, and Facebook has scheduled three open houses in March to answer questions from the public about its proposed project.
The company has expansive redevelopment plans for the 59-acre property it owns that runs on the south side of Willow Road about a quarter-mile west of Bayfront Expressway, bounded roughly by Mid Peninsula High School to the west, Willow Road to the north, the Dumbarton rail corridor to the east, and the UPS Center and Pacific Biosciences office (on O'Brien Drive and Adams Court) to the south.
There are currently 20 buildings there; Facebook plans to demolish those and replace them with 3.45 million square feet of office, retail and residential space.
There are nine office buildings proposed — expected to total 1.75 million square feet — along with a 200-room hotel, seven public-access parks or plazas covering eight acres, 1,500 housing units, a visitors' center, a grocery store, pharmacy and other retail spaces.
To meet the city's zoning policies, 15 percent, or 225, of the housing units will be designated for below-market-rate rent. A staff report indicates that the units will range from one to four bedrooms.
In addition, the office buildings would be intentionally isolated from the public-facing areas, with interior courtyards. The proposed heights for the residential, mixed-use buildings are 61 to 72 feet and, for the office buildings, 74 to 112.5 feet. The proposed density and heights are greater than the baseline the city allows, so Facebook will be required to provide benefits to the community at a value of half the fair market value of the additional gross floor area the city will permit it to add.
The company is proposing to phase the development such that only one-third of the total office project and housing are completed at a time.
According to a staff report, the Feb. 26 meeting is intended for planning staff to get input from the Planning Commission on the company's plans to realign some roads; the proposed bike and pedestrian paseo; density; phasing; and the master planning process for the site.
The meeting was held after the Almanac went to press. Go to almanacnews.com for the latest updates.
In addition, Facebook officials will host their own public meetings in the coming weeks to provide information about the proposed development.
Scheduled meetings are:
• Saturday, March 3, from noon to 2 p.m. at the Menlo Park Senior Center, 110 Terminal Ave. in Menlo Park.
• Saturday, March 10, from 2 to 4 p.m. at the East Palo Alto Senior Center at 560 Bell St. in East Palo Alto.
• Thursday, March 22, from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Arrillaga Family Recreation Center at 700 Alma St. in Menlo Park.
■ ICE put on notice by federal court, no Bay Area raids occur


The Tapered Baguette Fancy Stone is a new and functional interpretatio...n of the popular Baguette cut. Its filigree sizes allow for the arrangement of small and delicate patterns with all the sparkle for which Swarovski products are famous. Create dazzlingly smo...oth designs by seamlessly joining the trapezoid crystals. Perfectly combining a simple graphic shape with contemporary irregularity, the Tapered Baguette Fancy Stone perfectly fits innovative designs for street-inspired, urban looks. The precise cut of the Tapered Baguette Fancy Stone makes it possible to apply the component side by side and create on-trend patterns such as waves or circles. On watch bezels, for example, it also works perfectly to form beautiful geometric structures and surface effects.


My weirdest experience of E3 2018 occurred at the Sony party, after its divisive press conference.
The layout already put me off-kilter as I wandered aimlessly between a life-size set for The Last of Us, through Ghost of Tsushima-style Japanese gardens and into a cardboard cutout New York setting filled with Spider-Man demo booths.
As I wandered, the sound of live music blasted from the central tent (which had hosted the majority of the conference) so I went to see who was performing. As I made my way through the milling crowds, I realised that there was no band - just a handful of people on the stage dancing around enthusiastically with a firm grip on PlayStation 4 controllers. Behind them, giant screens were filled with creatures sculpted in digital plasticine performing on virtual instruments.
I was confused. A fellow attendee saw the look of bewilderment on my face and explained. Everything I could see and hear had been made in Dreams, the next title from LittleBigPlanet developr Media Molecule. Not only were the creatures and animations made in the game, but the people on stage were the developers, using the controllers to perform the music live. Every note, every beat was triggered by their joypads.
"This is the future of music," my peer said. "You'll be able to host concerts and improvise as you play, all done directly through a video game."
"That is what Dreams is all about," Media Molecule studio director Siobhan Reddy tells me almost four months later.
I'm discussing my experience with her ahead of her BAFTA Games Lecture in London, an evening in which she would reflect on the incredible potential for games to unlock anyone's creativity - something her studio has explored with each of its titles. Dreams will be no different.
"We wanted something that allowed you to make more than games," she continues. "We love games, but the interesting thing is to make a game, you need to be able to make music, you need to make little movies, you need to make animation and logic. In order to build a games-making tool where anything can happen, you end up making a movie maker and music maker, and therefore a music video maker, and therefore a live performance tour. That's the thing that's truly so exciting.
"When people in the studio use it on their own time, they do the most insane things - it's never just a straight game. Some just feel like making a song or something, and that's what we're excited about. It will be beyond games, and it will help us see what happens when you put the idea of making a game in the hands of someone who doesn't even know what games are."
"I really believe games is the medium of our time"
Reaching people unfamiliar with video games, but keen to experiment with various artistic mediums, is something Reddy is keen to push with Dreams. Regularly describing the game as the "culmination" of the studio's efforts during her lecture, she shared her ambition of giving games development "the same accessibility as using a camera, guitar, or a pencil - something you can start to learn just by picking it up."
It's a bold and admirable notion. After all, even someone with literally no training in music can pluck guitar strings and start to chain notes together, just as anyone with a pencil can eke out a simple sketch and everyone with access to a camera - even on their smartphone - can use it to record footage that can be used for entertainment.
By comparison, video games is a walled garden. While the price of tools is practically nothing and engine providers are making their products as accessible as possible, it still requires some basic understanding - or a lot of learning - of not only how video games are developed but also how the final products play.
Yet this has not deterred Reddy, nor her team.
"I really believe games is the medium of our time," she says. "It's an incredibly exciting thing to do, to make something people can interact with.
"I love the idea of people being able to just pick it up as a hobby. Every person who picks up a guitar doesn't go on to make 50 albums and be No.1 - you can just do it because you love it as a hobby. And it can be something to do with other people, and you can form a little band, and it can just be a pure hobby and pure fun. It might be that they do find a new profession and that's awesome, but from that we as an industry get to see what games are.
"Dreams will be beyond games, and it will help us see what happens when you put the idea of making a game in the hands of someone who doesn't even know what games are"
"Think about how much music has progressed since people were able to just buy a guitar in a shop - it means you can just express yourself, you can take it wherever you want to take it. Sometimes we get boxed in by genre or length or whatever, whereas our aim is to allow people to do whatever they want. They can be genre-bending, they can move between 2D and 3D, they can have a movie that turns into a music video that turns into something else."
Giving users the tools to accomplish this is perhaps Media Molecule's greatest challenge. A guitar, with its six strings, is an incredibly simple instrument, and producing notes with it is intuitive. A pencil is not a mechanically complex item to operate. But, as Reddy herself indicates, video games are built through advanced and interconnected systems governing graphics, sound, animation, logic and more.
While Dreams has not been caught up in the traditional media hype cycle, Media Molecule has actually been demonstrating its tools for the best part of two years via livestreams and YouTube videos. In doing so, the developer has shown its community how it strikes a balance between tools that are intricate enough to offer depth, but intuitive enough to let those without aspirations of professional game development jump right in.
"For us, it's always been about bringing a set of tools to the PlayStation that people on their couch can use," Reddy explains. "We never really wanted a super advanced mode for, say, the piano. We wanted one set of tools that's almost like an onion skin, where you can start out with the music tools and tinker around with the instruments, but if you want to go one stage further you can, and you can go deeper and deeper and deeper. But you can also just stay on the outside layer and play around with what we call the 'tier one' [tools]."
The range of skills (or lack thereof) across the Media Molecule team has helped in this regard. Reddy observes that the way she uses the game's tools will be different to that of her art director - but that shouldn't mean she should struggle.
"I'm not a trained artist, designer, composer or programmer, but I want to be able to play Dreams like anyone else will, make things like everyone else can," she says. "I'm very much the other end of that spectrum. We encourage everyone at the studio to get involved and this other end is what keeps it a little bit real. We need the depth, and we're very proud of the depth Dreams has, but in order to bring people on board, it's been some of the concepts from [us beginners] that will help people through that journey."
She goes on to say that tutorials, offering feedback through the game, and even having weekly subjects and challenges to guide new or unsure players has proven to make Dreams much more welcoming.
"It's interesting to try and pick away at all the little bits of activity - what are the simplest acts of creativity you can ask people in the beginning area to do in order to get over their fears of the blank canvas?," she concludes. "That's definitely been one of the areas we've been working hard on: to give it the depth, but also help people find that depth if they want to."

It's an ongoing saga that has racked Sri Lankan cricket. Not long ago, Sanath Jayasuriya retired from Test cricket so that he could focus on one-day cricket until the World Cup. Then, as the line-up of selectors changed, it was revealed that Jayasuriya's hand had been forced, and that he now wanted to come back into the Test side. The new chairman of selectors agreed, and Jayasuriya duly made his way to England to join the touring Sri Lankans.
To understand the nuances of exactly what is happening, Cricinfo's Amit Varma caught up with Charlie Austin, who has been covering Sri Lankan cricket for Cricinfo for many years now. Charlie explains how selections in Sri Lankan cricket have always been influenced by politics, and tells us exactly how things stand now, and what Jayasuriya's team-mates make of all this.

35th Annual GRAMMY Awards (1992)
In the midst of the 35th Annual GRAMMY Awards, host Garry Shandling considered the way things were going and told the star-studded audience at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, "Okay, I'll go out on a limb and say if you're up against Eric Clapton in any other categories, I'd go home now. It's a feeling I have."
Shandling's hunch would prove to be a very solid one. In recognition of Clapton's deeply moving song "Tears In Heaven" — inspired by the death of his 4-year-old son Conor — and for his successful Unplugged album, he received a grand total of six GRAMMY Awards: Record Of The Year, Album Of The Year, Song Of The Year, Best Pop Vocal Performance, Male, Best Rock Vocal Performance, Male, and Best Rock Song. Throughout the night, Clapton seemed surprised by the outpouring and remained rather low-key. But when he won the night's final award for Record Of The Year, Clapton plainly but powerfully explained, "The one person I want to thank is my son for the love he gave me and the song he gave me."
Clearly, this was an emotional night for the veteran rock guitar god, and rock stars of a certain age seemed to be on Shandling's mind as well right from the start. Referencing the recent election of President Bill Clinton, Shandling noted, "My generation's becoming the mainstream here. It's very weird. Mick Jagger is older than the president of the United States. It's a very spooky time." Shandling also offered a brilliant bit of stand-up comedy/political commentary about Clinton, referencing the president's famous campaign sound bite regarding whether or not he smoked pot: "He plays the sax. He plays it, sort of. He plays like a guy who never inhaled, but hey..."
Ultimately, though, the spirit of the GRAMMYs is nothing if not multigenerational and the night's other big winners included the upstart hip-hop group Arrested Development who took home not only the Best New Artist award, but also the GRAMMY for Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or A Group ("Tennessee"). A still up-and-coming Celine Dion won the Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal along with Peabo Bryson for "Beauty And The Beast" from the Disney film of the same name (the soundtrack album would help generate five awards on this night). The GRAMMY for Best Hard Rock Performance With Vocal went to the Red Hot Chili Peppers who provided the GRAMMY show with perhaps its most freewheeling highlight — a version of "Give It Away" that found a creatively attired Peppers joined by their longtime influence and onetime producer George Clinton along with his P-Funk All-Stars. Another memorable performance was Peter Gabriel's telecast-opening version of "Steam" that featured Cirque du Soleil; Gabriel won Best Music Video — Short Form for "Digging In The Dirt." Another altogether jazzy standout performance came from Arturo Sandoval and the GRP All-Stars who served up a searing version of "Cherokee."
Even without performing, Michael Jackson provided a significant amount of the evening's entertainment. First, Jackson's recent highly rated, 90-minute prime-time interview with Oprah Winfrey provided Shandling with one of his biggest laughs. "To insure higher ratings this year on the GRAMMYs, I will be interviewing him the last 90 minutes of the show. And I'll be asking him hard-hitting questions too, things like, 'Hey Michael, [can I] get you anything?'"
Remarkably, Jackson may have actually topped Shandling when he accepted his GRAMMY Legend Award from his sister Janet Jackson. Before launching into a fascinating speech about his childhood being stolen from him, Jackson pulled off a completely surprising punch line. "I hope this finally puts to rest another rumor that's been in the press for too many years," Jackson said standing next to his chart-topping sibling. "Me and Janet really are two different people."

Hello everyone! Thanks for the effort of stopping by in my blogs. I know that my absence in blogging was totally the trend for more than a year. Much as I wanted to visit your blogs, TIME won't let me. I have so much to share but, all those were put aside for other priorities. I thought I could blog everyday and visit you everyday but, I can't find the time. I am so sorry that I can't visit you as much as I can. I was back to blogging for couple of weeks now. I visited some of your blogs too. Then, I had migraine which forced me to quit using my PC for two days. I had opportunities which I need to write and that's it. Can't even visit a single blog in a day. I miss those moments!

Abel Janszoon Tasman (Lutjegast,1603 - Jakarta, 10 d'Octubre de1659) va ser un explorador dels Països Baixos al servei de la Companyia Neerlandesa de les Índies Orientals (Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie, VOC), a les ordres d'Anthonie van Diemen.

Va realitzar els seus gran viatges entre el 1642 i el 1644.

Tasman va morir el 1659 a Batavia, l'actual Jakarta.

Primers viatges
Tasman va entrar al servei de la Companyia Neerlandesa de les Índies Orientals el 1632 o 1633 i va fer el seu primer viatge d'exploració a l'illa Ceram (moderna Seram, a l'actual Indonèsia) com a capità del Mocha el 1634. Va navegar el 1639 sota el comandant Mathijs Hendrickszoon Quast en una expedició a la recerca de les "illes d'or i plata" als mars a l'est del Japó. Després d'una sèrie de viatges comercials al Japó, Formosa (Taiwan), Cambodja i Sumatra, va ser escollit pel Governador General de les Índies Orientals Neerlandeses, Anthony van Diemen, per comandar el més ambiciós de tots els viatges holandesos per a l'exploració de l'hemisferi sud.

Grans viatges

Primer gran viatge (1642-1643)
En el seu primer gran viatge, amb els vaixells Heemskerck i Zeehaen, va ser el primer europeu a arribar, el 24 de novembre de 1642, a l'illa que anomenà Van Diemensland, en honor d'Anthonie van Diemen, Governador General de les Índies Orientals Neerlandeses i que els anglesos van nomenar més tard Tasmània en honor seu.

El 13 de desembre de 1642 van albirar terres a la costa nord-oest de l'illa del Sud, Nova Zelanda, convertint-se en els primers europeus que van veure Nova Zelanda. Va ser rebutjat en un atac dels maoris a la badia dels Assassins (Moordenaarsbaai), avui Golden Bay. Va anomenar les illes Statenland, en honor dels Estats Generals dels Països Baixos (parlament neerlandès).

De tornada a Batavia, Tasman es va trobar amb l'arxipèlag de Tonga el 20 de gener de 1643. Mentre passaven les illes Fiji, els vaixells de Tasman van estar a punt de topar amb els perillosos esculls del nord-est del grup de Fiji. Va traçar la punta oriental de Vanua Levu i Cikobia-i-Lau abans de tornar al mar obert.

L'expedició va girar cap al nord-oest cap a Nova Guinea i va arribar a Batavia el 15 de juny de 1643.

Vaixells del primer viatge

Segon gran viatge (1644)
En un segon viatge va explorar les costes occidentals d'Austràlia.

Tasman va deixar Batavia el 30 de gener de 1644 en el seu segon viatge amb tres vaixells (Limmen, Zeemeeuw i el Braek). Va seguir la costa sud de Nova Guinea cap a l'est en un intent de trobar un pas cap a la banda oriental de Nova Holanda. Tanmateix, no va trobar l'estret de Torres entre Nova Guinea i Austràlia, probablement a causa dels nombrosos esculls i illes que amagaven les possibles rutes, i va continuar el seu viatge seguint la costa del golf de Carpentària cap a l'oest al llarg de la costa nord d'Austràlia. Va cartografiar la costa nord d'Austràlia, fent observacions sobre Nova Holanda i la seva gent. Va tornar a Batavia l'agost de 1644.

Des del punt de vista de la Companyia neerlandesa de les Índies Orientals, les exploracions de Tasman van ser una decepció: ni havia trobat una zona prometedora per al comerç ni una nova ruta de navegació útil. La companyia es va molestar ja que Tasman no va explorar completament les terres que va trobar i va decidir que s'hauria d'escollir un "explorador més persistent" per a futures expedicions. Durant més d'un segle, fins a l'època de James Cook, Tasmània i Nova Zelanda no van ser visitades pels europeus: Austràlia continental es va visitar, però molt ocasionalment.

Vida posterior
El 2 de novembre de 1644, Abel Tasman va ser nomenat membre del Consell de Justícia de Batavia. Va anar a Sumatra el 1646, i l'agost de 1647 a Siam (actual Tailàndia) amb cartes de la companyia al rei. El maig de 1648 va estar al capdavant d'una expedició enviada a Manila per intentar interceptar i saquejar els vaixells de plata espanyols procedents d'Amèrica, però no va tenir èxit i va tornar a Batavia el gener de 1649. El novembre de 1649 va ser acusat i trobat culpable d'haver penjat un dels seus homes sense judici l'any anterior, va ser suspès del seu càrrec de comandant, multat i obligat a pagar una indemnització als familiars del mariner. El 5 de gener de 1651 va ser formalment reincorporat al seu rang i va passar els anys restants a Batavia. Tenia una bona posició econòmica, sent un dels propietaris més grans de la ciutat. Va morir a Batavia el 10 d'octubre de 1659 i li va sobreviure la seva segona dona i una filla del seu primer matrimoni, que van rebre la seva herència. En el seu testament (que data de 1657), va deixar 25 florins als pobres del seu poble Lutjegast.

Tot i que el pilot de Tasman, Frans Visscher, va publicar Memoir concerning the discovery of the South land el 1642, el detallat diari de Tasman no es va publicar fins al 1898; no obstant això, alguns dels seus dibuixos i mapes eren de circulació general i eren utilitzats pels exploradors posteriors. El diari signat per Abel Tasman del viatge de 1642 es troba als Arxius Nacionals (Nationaal Archief) de La Haia.

The world at large is experiencing the devastating effects of the global climate crisis including droughts, floods, tsunami, water scarcity, and rising sea level. These consequences of climate change threaten the sustainable living on this planet which calls for an urgent and collective response from both developed and developing nations especially countries like Bangladesh. The World Bank stated that "While the risks of climate change for South Asia emerge as quite serious, the risks and impacts for Bangladesh are arguably amongst the highest in the region". Hence, Bangladesh can be referred as a potential hotspot and projected to face extreme river ?oods, more intense tropical cyclones, rising sea levels, and extraordinary temperatures. It is anticipated by the World Bank (2010) that a sea-level rise of one metre is expected to affect 13 million people in Bangladesh.
Financial institutions, particularly banks, can accelerate the movement of a clean world to a large extent. For instance, these institutions can implement a 'go-green' policy for themselves and encourage client firms to adopt clean technology. In the long-term, this strategy is expected to be favourable for firms, to reduce the cost and induce the access to the new market. To advance their interest, banks should follow the carbon footprint of their clients or projects to ensure overall sustainability. A recent study estimates that loan exposure to higher environmental risk-sectors in the United States, European Union, China, Japan and Switzerland amounts to US$1.6 trillion. Any unfavourable changes in these sectors may result in financial shocks. This calls for banks to carefully consider clients' or projects' risk stemming from climate change and regularly disclose carbon footprint resulting from their own operations. Banks' environmental performance vary as they do not have proper knowledge about the benefits they might receive through implementing green finance. Thus, it is essential to unfold the underlying benefits of green banking for the greater interest of the planet.
In response to the aforesaid global issue, Bangladesh government, regulators and banks formulated environment-friendly policies. As banks are holding a large share of financial sector's assets, the central bank of Bangladesh is continuously developing guidelines for being 'green' compliance. Recent trends of green financing in Bangladesh reveal that so far 55 banks out of 56 have undertaken green banking programmes by establishing green banking unit. According to Bangladesh Bank report in 2017, a total amount of $2,022.85 million was invested as green finance during October-December quarter of FY17 by all banks. The sector-wise contribution to the total green finance shows that the PCBs play the main role (80.9 per cent).
Studies show that the intervention from the central bank has high positive impact on the implementation of green banking. Regulating bodies could promote corporate accountability, transparency and consideration of impacts on the environment and society. To encourage compliance, various benefits have been offered by the government of Bangladesh and the country's banking sector regulator. For example, "Financing Brick Kiln Efficiency Improvement Project" was established by the BB with support from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) worth 50.00 million USD for local use to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and refine particulate pollution from brick fields. The Bangladesh Bank established a "revolving refinance scheme" amounting to BDT 2.0 billion (approx. $23.687 million) for solar energy, bio-gas and effluent treatment plant (ETP) in 2009. In 2017, the product line has been enhanced to 51 under 08 categories (BB, SFD Master Circular No. 03/2017). In January 2016, a new longer-term refinancing window named Green Transformation Fund (GTF) of 200 million USD was launched to ensure sustainable growth in the export-oriented textile and leather sectors (Bangladesh Bank, 2017). Along with that, BDT 3,413.63 million (approx. $40.43 million) has been disbursed until December' 2017 under this revolving refinance scheme, which gives a 5.0 per cent window on loan interest premium for commercial banks.
Along with conventional banks, Shariah-based Islamic banks can also get the benefits. The Bangladesh Bank has disbursed BDT 52.00 million (approx. $0.62 million) for "Working Environment and Fire safety of Factory" under Shariah-based refinancing scheme during October-December, 2017 quarter and has also has collected BDT 0.50 million profit under this scheme. Up to 2017, four Islamic banks signed participation agreements with the Bangladesh Bank to involve more in the renewable energy and environment-friendly efforts, and strengthen the participation of Shariah-based financing. Some future initiatives by the Bangladesh Bank will benefit banks, which are- giving award points to banks while computing CAMELS rating, permission for opening new bank branches, declaring the names of the top to banks for their overall performance in green banking activities.
However, regulation cannot guarantee complete compliance by banks. Empirical evidence shows green banking disclosure practices in the banking sector of emerging economy have converged over time and have become a routine process. It is very important to motivate banks for green compliance by showing some positive outcomes. For example, when banks implement different environmental strategies such as ISO 14001 and EMAS, they gain financial benefits such as energy cost reduction, minimization of water and material use. Likewise, banks, who take sustainability strategy consistently outperform in terms of valuation, profit/loss and return on equity (ROE).
For investors who are disappointed with mainstream finance, they should shift more towards social banking where most of them are in search of a better perspective of transparency and reliability. Social finance institutions finance sustainable business, delivering clear social, environmental or cultural benefits as they do financing, which is directly connected with real economy- only financing business and projects those provide services and products that people need. Studies show some major reasons for banks to integrate sustainable environmental banking. Greek banks get benefits of being ecological champions whereas Indian banks adopted green initiatives to maintain win-win position. It means that these banks implement only policies, which are helpful to reduce cost and improve their efficiency.
To sum up, if benefits can be presented to the commercial banks, the policy makers would definitely implement more green banking for the greater purpose.


Here are some of my favorite 2012 Spring/Summer Collections videos I just had to post and share.
Grab a hot coco if you'd like & sit back, relax, & enjoy.
Now, many of my friends have told me in the past, that some of the stuff on the runways is crazy, and stuff they'd NEVER wear. However I like to tell them to keep in mind, although many of the fashions that are displayed in fashion shows aren't pieces everyone would like to actually wear, I can certainly find elements that will and are being incorporated into our everyday fashions whether we take notice or not. Some of my friends truly admire the fashions they see on the runway, but think they could never pul it off themselves. When I point them out, suddenly it's like I can see the light bulb above their head turn on as they flash a smilez at me. Helping my maybe-not-so-fashion-informed friends out always brings me joy.


All sports need practice. To get better at your game, to play at your best, you need to hone your technique through regular drills.
In pickleball one needs to put in sufficient hours of practice. The more you drill, the higher your chances of playing a winning match. Drills help point out what you are doing wrong. With regular practice, you can eliminate your wrong moves and improve your overall performance. Drills help you develop new skills. They give you a chance to polish these skills to perfection and apply them successfully in your competitive matches. Finally, drills make you more confident as an athlete and help you enjoy the sport better.
Drills can be moderately strenuous to highly rigorous. Find out what you are comfortable with. Do not stress yourself out too much. Plan a practice schedule and stick to it.
In the following points, we have made a list of the things you can do to practice pickleball more efficiently.
Before you start practicing, find out what your goal is. What is it you expect to achieve from your practice sessions? Do you wish to learn a new technique or correct an erroneous one? Do you want to work on your footwork? Do you want to improve your shots? Find out exactly what you want and then chart out a road map of how you are going to accomplish it. Doing so will help you stay focused and give you concrete results.

Find a good pickleball partner who understands the importance of practice. They must either be of your level of play or more advanced.
Get an experienced pickleball player to watch you while you practice. Ask them for feedback on what you are doing and what you need to do to improve your game. It helps to have someone observe your play and point out your mistakes.
Footwork is key in pickleball. Develop the right footwork and your game will automatically improve. You will have better court coverage and range, your balance will be better and your shots more accurate. Concentrate on your split step, side step and cross step. You can do it even when you are off-court. For instance, you can practice your split step by yourself. Just take two or three quick steps forward and then a short hop, landing with your feet a little wider than the width of your shoulders. You can practice this anywhere. Likewise, you can work on your lateral movements while you are alone. Apart from this, also work on your leg strength by doing some core strength exercises for your thighs, glutes and calf muscles.
Dinking well is the road to success in pickleball. If you can learn how to dink well, you can beat anyone. A dink shot is a soft shot that, once over the net, drops abruptly to the ground. For dinking, you need to hold the paddle at a 45ᵒ angle and it should be closer to the net than you. There should be minimal wrist and arm movement. Your head should be low and your knees bent.
For a singles game, position yourself at the edge of the non-volley line opposite your partner. In the beginning, concentrate on getting the ball over the net and dropping it into the non-volley zone. Once you have mastered this, try landing the ball at your opponent's feet. This will make it difficult for them to return the shot. The next step is dinking from opposite sides of the court. Doing this will enhance your angle dink shots and shot precision. The last drill in one-on-one dinking involves both players playing dink shot from the center of the court. Here they practice dinking from all angles, and return to the center of the court once they have returned a shot.
If you are practicing dinking in a doubles match, play your dink shots only after the serve and play a full game. Landing a shot outside the non-volley zone will cost the team a point.
The ability to return immediately to the non-volley line is a big advantage in pickleball. If your opponent is standing at the non-volley line, they can play a wider range of shots than you. They can afford to play less-precise shots, and if you return the ball too high, they can punish your error. Therefore, it is critical that you return as quickly as you can to the NVL.
Practice the start of the game with your opponent. Try serving deep down the middle of the court and then go back to the NVL. Your opponent will try returning the shot deep before you can reach the NVL. Practice the first three consecutive shots in this manner, and then do it again.
Groundstrokes force your opponent out of their normal position and drive them to the back of court. Playing a well-placed groundstroke after a serve or return offers you an early advantage. Practice your groundstrokes with your partner by standing on your respective left sides. Then do it from your respective right sides. Aim to place the ball just inside the boundary line. Try playing your groundstrokes down the right and left lines of the court.
Once you are done with dinking and groundstrokes, practice lobbing. One player can stand at the baseline and deliver a lob shot and the other can practice their overhead shots. The one hitting the lob shots must aim to place the ball between the NVL and the ¾ court. The one hitting the overhead shots must return them so that they can be lobbed back again. Do this drill for about 30-40 lobs.
Hone your volleying skills by standing at the NVL and hitting volleys at each other. Start by hitting soft shots and gradually increase your force and speed.
Work on your backhand by having your partner deliver shots at your backhand repeatedly. Also, find out different ways to play backhand shots and incorporate them in your game.

The evolution of leather handbags: Some interesting facts to know!
Without change, there is no innovation, creativity, or incentive for improvement. Those who initiate change will have a better opportunity to manage the change that is inevitable - William Pollard
Change is who we are right now. Change is what makes us grow every moment.
Hey guys, wassup!
Since yesterday I've been feeling a bit nostalgic. I was reading a lot of stuff about the inception of leather – how it all came about, how leather bags were first made, etc.
So today, I want to go back in time and reminisce about the origin of leather handbags, the designs, and how its evolutionary process took place.
Leather Handbags go back to the beginning of time and have become a practicality and a fashion statement for women of all ages.
The story of a leather bag is as interesting as the evolution of human history. Without the skill and know-how, a piece of leather hide was not designed in a sophisticated manner. Yet, human intelligence and knowledge were such that humans managed to pull off great achievements.
Let's delve into the same and look how things shaped up for it:
Started from scratch with a pouch!
Earlier, leather was used to make purses and handbags in the form of pouches. It was used to carry agricultural seeds, religious items, and medicine.
As a matter of fact, in the early 15th century, a leather purse was considered to be a traditional gift from a groom to his bride. The bags were richly embroidered with a design of relationships and love stories.
In those days, just like today, bags were considered to be a private item, carrying things you need for the day. People used to carry a lot of items, such as playing cards, cosmetic items, etc whenever they traveled.
The use of conventional wallets dates back to the time as far as the 16th century. At that time, small leather pouches with a drawstring tie used to be made, that could attach itself to a belt through a loop.
Interestingly, during the same period, there were 'scented bags' that women used to scent their handkerchiefs.
By the late 18th century, women began carrying small embellished drawstring bags or purses called 'ridicules'.
These bags mainly carried cosmetic items like a hankie, fan, perfume, face powder, etc. That, perhaps, is the origin of the Dorothy (or dotty bag).
The Victorian phase ushered in a great revolution. Bags matched with the outfit and were made of diverse fabrics.
By the mid 1800's, bags changed to a popular flat style, that was made in circular or square shape. It was usually decorated with beading and sewing.
Patterns and directions for making these types of purses became popular at that time.
The handbag had succeeded by then because it had adapted itself to the needs of the time. Seeds and medicines had moved on…hand bags were now holding cigarettes and sunglasses.
On the other hand, shoulder bags became popular during the Second World War. The 20th-century technology opened up a variety of new textures and materials from synthetics to hand-woven straws.
In a way, the evolution of ladies is similar to the evolution of leather handbags. Centuries ago, ladies were supposed to carry as little as possible. However, today's women are a different lot. We are going out a lot for a longer period of time.
Today, a woman without her handbag feels incomplete. A woman's handbag continues to tell about her own personal tastes and secrets.
Unlike women, men continue to carry everything in their pockets, and men's clothing, unlike women's always has pockets. A man wearing a suit and overcoat can easily have ten pockets at his disposal while women in a suit and a jacket might have none or only a couple of shallow decorative pockets. Thus, women need handbags.
The psychology behind Ladies Handbag
Some psychologists think that the way a woman carries her bag is characteristic of her own inner feelings and affections. The term 'biology' was coined in a newspaper article way back in early 1940s. The article claimed that the way a woman carries her purse tells a lot about her.
Handbags do say a lot about a woman. Just as you can tell a lot about a person from their clothing, you can also tell a lot about a person simply from the handbags they carry.

I was born as the eldest son in my family. My father was a successful dentist in a medium-sized town in Japan. I assumed automatically, as part of Japanese culture, I would inherit his profession once I grew up. I enrolled in pre-Dental School in Tokyo, in April of 1958. In October of that year, under strange and unusual circumstances, I met a French Canadian Catholic priest on a train while vacationing with friends during a short recess at the university.
After riding the train for several hours, an empty seat suddenly opened in front of me and I sat down. I then realized a priest was sitting next to me. I don't remember how our conversation started, but when he was getting out at his station, he gave me his card and invited me to visit him in Tokyo.
After returning from vacation I accepted his offer and met him in Tokyo. Unfortunately, he suddenly died 10 months later. However, he had great spiritual influence on me in such a short period of time, in spite of the fact that Japan's main religion is Buddhism, and that I was not even familiar with the word "Catholic," at the time. I was eventually baptized as a Catholic on his birthday (September 21) in 1961, to remember him the rest of my life. I learned from him to live sincerely and be honest to myself, no matter the circumstances of my life. I wanted to begin with this story, because without it, my life would probably be entirely different.
After graduating dental school in 1964, my father encouraged me to further my studies in the United States, so that I would be a better and more refined dentist. He advised me that if one can make a fine denture (false teeth), patients will appreciate being able to eat foods they need for a healthy life. I enrolled in the graduate dentistry program at the University of Michigan, and conducted my Master's thesis entitled "A Laboratory Study of Alginate Impressions." This was my first experiment, and I realized that I liked the experiment. So with my father's blessing, I was able to pursue further education.
It took almost 12 years to finish my Ph.D. at MIT, and if I had known that, I may have never started! However, I met wonderful people during those years: at the University of North Dakota, Drs. Russel H. Wilson, and Arthur K. Saiki; at the University of Michigan, Dr. John W. Bean; and at MIT, Dr. Sanford A. Miller. When I got the faculty position at LSU Medical Center (now called LSU Health Sciences Center), my boss was Dr. John Spitzer. Dr. Harvey I. Miller was a wonderful colleague in the physiology department, as well as Dr. Johnny R. Porter in the dental school physiology department. I was very fortunate to meet these people.
When I went to the University of North Dakota, I started reading various articles and became attracted to the neonatal rats model. My mentor was Dr. Wilson, an internist and Ph.D., and while he was not familiar with tooth germ (embryological developing tooth), he did not interfere with any of my ideas. Looking back, I was really fortunate as a graduate student to always be the driver of my own experiments, and to receive that same encouragement from all my various mentors throughout different graduate schools.
Because nutritional effects are magnified during early growing period in neonates, I concentrated on the neonatal rat model at MIT. When I got a degree in Nutritional Biochemistry and Metabolism, I finally realized that this was the area I would focus my work on and enjoy for the rest of my life.
After graduating from MIT, I was appointed as an assistant professor of physiology (tenure track position) at LSU Medical Center at the end of 1978. My lab was located in the newly built dental school. I had to set up my own lab and prepare my own lectures. A couple of years after moving from Boston to New Orleans, I shifted my focus from malnutrition to caffeine, but I do not remember why I made the change.
I decided to study in detail the effect of caffeine on mineralization of the tooth, as I knew from the previous studies that caffeine exposure somehow influenced mineralization on hard tissues. Suckling pups were exposed to caffeine through the maternal milk (caffeine was added to the diet of the lactating dams, and this resulted in caffeine released in the maternal milk). Then, a higher amount of calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium from the enamel surface of the pup's teeth in the caffeine group, were released more than that of the noncaffeine group upon exposures to acid solution in vitro system. The question is why these phenomena occur. My lab was not equipped to study hydroxylapatite (enamel is made from hydroxylapatite) in detail. So I collaborated with Dr. William Simmons and Mr. Alexander Falster, Department of Geology and Geophysics, University of New Orleans, where both are experts of hydroxylapatite and have the related instruments in their lab.
The caffeine group formed a smaller crystal size compared to the noncaffeine control; therefore, these minerals were dissolved easily from the enamel surface when exposed to the acid solution. Then, we hypothesized that in the same animal model but in later life (caffeine was exposed in early life), if we feed a cariogenic diet (diet which causes dental caries) to these animals, the higher incidence of dental caries in vivo system must occur in the caffeine fed group than that of the noncaffeine group. Our hypothesis was right (this was because small crystal size of the enamel dissolved easily by acid production of the oral bacteria, causing the increased incidence of dental caries).
Then we conducted an in vitro crystal formation study to make sure whether the presence of caffeine produced the smaller crystal size in the lab. At the same time we did another xanthine family (caffeine is from the xanthine family), to see whether the crystal size from another xanthine family has differences, if any. To our surprise, theobromine (3, 7- dimethylxanthine) showed the larger crystal formation compared to caffeine (1, 3, 7-trimethylxanthine). This was a real unexpected finding. Then, if I did the same experiment as that of caffeine, but supplemented with theobromine in the maternal diet, using the suckling rats model (pups took theobromine containing milk from dams), the enamel surface of the teeth of these pups must show less release of calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium upon exposure to acid solution (due to large crystal size formation by theobromine in this group). It turned out that this hypothesis was right.
I knew that theobromine was the only chemical beside fluoride which possibly affects the outcome of dental caries. I brought this finding to the university to encourage them to obtain the patent, but they were not interested. Therefore, we got patents by ourselves. Then, I tried to sell the idea to Japanese and US companies, but none of them showed any interest.
At the end of August 2005, Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans. The university closed and temporarily moved to Baton Rouge. One day, the mother of Arman Sadeghpour called me (I knew Arman from his time in high school and as an undergraduate at Tulane when he visited my lab). Now he was a graduate student at Tulane University. She asked me if I would help him with his Ph.D dissertation, as his mentor just left the city due to Katrina and he does not have a mentor to direct his research. I told her that I have patents and I was curious to know the different effects, if any, between theobromine and fluoride on teeth. He agreed to join me on this project for his dissertation.
When we got the data, it showed that theobromine was much more effective than fluoride. The results were also reaffirmed by an independent person for his erosion study. During this time, I met Mr. Joseph Fuselier who was very familiar with many aspects of biotechnology. Because my ideas were rejected by so many, I suggested that we start the company by ourselves. We immediately started raising funds to produce the first fluoride-free toothpaste.
The first production of the toothpaste called "Theodent" took close to 5 years from the beginning of the fundraising. We called it "chocolate toothpaste" as theobromine is the main ingredients of cacao. Louisiana had a special incentive for a tax advantage for those who wanted to invest in new ventures. In order to be a unique toothpaste, we spent a lot of time designing the box and tube. As a result of that, we received a Red Dot Design Award which is the first time a toothpaste box design was ever awarded this honor. The award appeared as a headline on a digital billboard in New York City's Times Square.
When we started selling Theodent in early 2012, we began to receiving emails from many consumers telling us that it improved hypersensitivity (cold and hot stimulus) on their teeth. Because we did not know this effect, we did a clinical study. In fact, we found that Theodent was much more effective than Sensodyne at eliminating pain within a short period of time and the results were published.
Scientists are unique creatures in that they have a special inspiration and imagination compared to other professions. These advantages should be applied not only to the pursuit of pure academics, but also to commercial industries. We should utilize these talents for scientific advances to create practical benefits for common people. Our future roles as scientists should include more collaboration between academics and industry. Scientists would be good entrepreneurs for the practical advancement and happiness of the general population.
Looking back, I experienced many failures through my life which, I thought, often would end my adventure which come from Japan to the US. However, these failures turned out to be one of the most important turning points in my life, and it had an amazingly positive outcome. Younger generations should never be afraid of future failures in their own life.

Growing up in mid-central Maine, I was an extremely shy child. When I was in junior high and high school, I'd actually become physically sick when it came time for speech class or presentations. Thankfully, different life experiences eventually removed my fear of public speaking. However, as you can imagine, when I graduated from Chiropractic School the last thing I wanted to focus on was marketing.
In those early years of chiropractic school clinic and beyond, I watched myself and my colleagues flounder. While we had excellent training and education in healthcare, we had very little expertise in running a successful practice. It soon became apparent that I had to work on the marketing of my practice every bit as hard as I worked on caring for patients in my practice.
But how does a shy person market themselves and their practice? How does a new practitioner on a shoe-string budget develop a solid marketing strategy? What types of marketing activities are ethical and appropriate for healthcare providers? I didn't have the answers to those questions. I turned to my local bookstore and spent hundreds of hours reading marketing books, but none of them addressed the field of healthcare.
Over the years, I tried different activities and events with varying levels of success, all the while adding to the mental list of marketing possibilities in my head. I learned from my mistakes and the mistakes I saw others make. As my mental list grew, friends and colleagues in a variety of healthcare fields turned to me for help in marketing their practices and I discovered I had a natural aptitude in this area. When my fiancé and I chose to relocate to be closer to his family, I decided it was the perfect opportunity to write the book that had been building in my head for the better part of a decade. By temporarily stepping away from practice and focusing on my books, I hope to help thousands of healthcare providers connect with their communities, create the practice of their dreams, and increase the health of our country.


I have a feeling that all of my posts are going to be "image heavy" moving forward. If you haven't already noticed I am slightly obsessed with my son. There will be no shortage of photographs to flip through and ooh and aah over with his future intended, that's for sure! Benjamin is currently 3.5 weeks old. I can't believe he'll be one month old in less than a week. I have a feeling I'll be saying that a lot in the coming weeks; months; years. It goes by so quickly, doesn't it? These weeks are a bit of a blur. We're still spending most of our days in bed and you'd be surprised by the amount of times I've noticed my shirt is inside out. I've given up on my hair altogether and can promise you that a cut is in the very near future. Benjamin is growing like a champ and currently weighs 9 pounds, 8 ounces.
Congrats on your new addition, he's perfect.


For the longest time, my biggest obstacle to financial success was simply discussing matters with my wife. Money was the most uncomfortable subject between the two of us – every time we discussed it, even with the best intentions, one of us wound up very upset. So, for years it was a complete taboo topic outside of the functional "Did you pay the electric bill?" type question. When we finally sat down and had a real financial heart-to-heart, it was relevatory. We realized that we were on the same page on a lot of things, and that in our own separate ways we were making many of the same mistakes.
Here are ten tips for getting the discussion started – and making sure that it doesn't devolve into an emotional battle.
1. Start off talking about goals. Ask your spouse when he/she wants to retire and what he/she wants to do after retirement. Ask what his/her dreams are – where would they like to be in five years, or ten years. The point is to think positively about money by asking where it can get you.
2. Admit your own mistakes. If you're having this discussion, it's likely you're not blameless. Start off by admitting your own mistakes. Before the discussion, evaluate your own spending and figure out where you spend too much. For me, I admitted to spending too much on books and on eating out, both of which were seriously draining our finances.
3. Look your spouse right in the eye, and hold their hand. No matter how big your spouse's mistakes are, never, ever give any sign that you are anything other than compassionate and loving. For me, this meant that as my wife was summoning the courage to express her fears, her spending problems, and her doubts, I sat next to her, looked right at her, listened attentively, and placed my hand on top of hers. It was a simple gesture, but it reminded her of the love that we share.
5. Look at numbers – but don't judge. When I did this, I let my wife see all of my statements first and gave her a pen to mark off anything she found questionable. She was so blown away by the openness that she almost automatically did the same thing once we evaluated my spending, and without a peep. If I had started off by demanding her statements, it would have turned into a giant war.
6. Be fair. If/when your spouse admits to overspending, don't blow up at them. We live in a consumerist society that is designed to push our buttons and trick us into spending. Even worse, it's a pattern that's very difficult to break – it's a very socially acceptable addiction. Instead of exploding, ask them what they think of the spending: is it reasonable? Is it more important to them than paying off a credit card? Do not blow up if your spouse gives an answer that you don't like.
7. Create goals that you both agree on. Each of you should make a list of the goals you'd like to reach, both in the short term and in the long term. Then, find the ones that mesh together and agree to work towards them. For example, my wife and I are both interested in being debt free as soon as possible, buying a home in the near future, and retiring early, so we've made that one of our primary goals, and we now think of our spending in terms of these goals.
8. Create plans to reach those goals. For each of your common goals, spend some time figuring out how you can get there. Do you need to cut down on the Starbucks visits? Does your spouse need to spend less cash on authentic baseball jerseys (hey, I've seen a couple where the husband was budgeting almost $10K on baseball-related apparel a year)? Each of you needs to be willing to make some sort of sacrifice to reach the goal, and if you're initiating this, you should be the first one to offer up something.
9. Agree to talk about it regularly. I am a big fan of a monthly family meeting about money issues. This should include the children as early as possible. This way, all parties can stay on the ball and everyone can have a say in any planning decisions.
10. Do something romantic afterwards. After our first talk, I made dinner for the three of us while my wife picked up our son from daycare. After supper and some playtime, our child went to bed, and we spent a romantic evening together, secure in the new bonds we had just built.


Earlier this week in a Miami Shores nursing home, a fire broke out in one of the rooms, causing all of the home's residents to be evacuated. According to a report by the local NBC affiliate, the fire started shortly after 5 a.m. and all 51 residents were evacuated. Some of the residents were seen laying in hospital beds across the street from the nursing home. Apparently, a mattress had somehow caught fire in one of the residents rooms. Luckily, fire personnel were able to quickly contain the fire; it never spread beyond that one room.
A nearby fire truck was on the way back from responding to a call and was able to show up in a matter of seconds. In all, just two residents were hospitalized for possible smoke inhalation. All residents were let back into the home later on in the day as investigators further investigated the cause of the fire.
A fire can wreck havoc no matter where it starts. However, when nursing homes catch fire, the risks exponentially increase due to the fact that many nursing home residents are immobile and rely on the nursing home's employees for mobility. In the case described above, the residents were very fortunate that the fire truck was nearby and was able to respond in a rapid manner.
However, this will not always be the case. With the poor reputation most nursing homes have for providing less than diligent care, one can only hope that they have adequate plans in place in case of a serious fire.
As far as providing adequate care, Florida nursing homes are split. Many Florida nursing homes enjoy a good reputation for the level of care they provide to their residents. However, some other Florida nursing homes have too many instances of neglect and abuse.
Nursing home abuse is a serious issue that can be life threatening to your loved one. If you are told by a loved one that the nursing home staff is abusive, you should seriously consider looking into the claim.
If you have a loved on in a Florida nursing home that has told you they are being abused, you should immediately speak to an experienced Florida nursing home attorney as soon as possible. Getting your loved one out of the situation is the most important short-term goal. However, once they have moved to a better facility, you should look into whether they may be eligible for monetary compensation for the abuse they suffered.
