Drinking cucumber water has become one of the latest trends when it comes to weight loss and detoxing the body.
This couldn't have come at a better time as it just so happens to be the cucumber season and look what I've picked out of our garden.
So the last couple of weeks we've been putting all kinds of ingredients together to come up with a delicious but easy to make weight loss beverage using these friendly green veggies.
There are lots of recipes and ideas floating around out there, but when it comes to enhancing the water that we drink, it's all about the flavor and the nutrition we want to achieve. It's that simple, but incredibly personal.
Of course the main ingredient will be the cucumbers, but in reality they do not offer much in the way of flavor. That's why most of the recipes suggest adding fresh mint and some kind of citrus too.
Mint and lemon slices really make this beverage an amazingly refreshing drink.
No toothbrush, no problem, just have a big glass of this stuff and your mouth will feel cleaner and fresher (I was drinking different variations of this recipe for the last couple of weeks and it really works).
So here is the end result. An easy to make recipe that makes water so much more delicious to drink.
Take the cucumbers and wash well. Then with a fork, apply a little pressure and score the cucumbers lengthwise to give them a fancy little design like in this picture (a little trick Mom showed me years ago).
It's definitely a nice touch, especially if you're entertaining. It makes your drink look so much more appetizing and you know what they say, if it looks better, it usually tastes better.
Take a water jug of your choice and put all the ingredients into it. Place in fridge and let the flavors infuse for about 6 hours or overnight.
Water is the most important beverage our bodies need, not only for weight loss, but to stay healthy and what a great way to drink more by flavoring the water we have and making it more appealing.
Since we have also added lemons we can enjoy all the health benefits of the vitamin C it provides, not to mention lemons are loaded with antioxidants which help detox the body.
The one great thing about cucumbers is they are extremely low in calories and are high in nutrition (such as vitamin C and potassium), but unfortunately do not release much of those nutrients just by soaking in water.
To get the true nutritional benefits, you have to eat the cucumber slices. Don't get me wrong, a little of the good stuff does infuse into the water but not very much.
But this drink tastes so great because it absorbs the lemon and mint flavors so well, making it incredibly refreshing and wanting you to drink more.
If you are not a fan of mint you will definitely want to omit the sprigs. But that is the great thing about creating your own brand of flavored water, the choices are endless.
Love the fact that this drink does help hydrate and detox the body. What a great weight loss beverage.
This drink also looks great being served to guests on a hot summer day in a nice glass water jug.
Make double batches so the whole family can enjoy. Place in clear water bottles (ones with a larger mouth opening) that will be handy for work, school or play.

How the Washington Post Lost the PRISM Exclusive
After a series of stunning reports from the Guardian's Glenn Greenwald on the NSA's data collection programs, the paper will no doubt remain a central figure in the story of Edward Snowden, the whistleblower who leaked the PRISM slides in the first place. But, according to one of the reporters by-lined on the Washington Post's PRISM story, the exclusive was theirs to lose.
By Abby Ohlheiser
After a series of stunning reports from the Guardian's Glenn Greenwald on the NSA's data collection programs, the paper will no doubt remain a central figure in the story of Edward Snowden, the whistleblower who leaked the PRISM slides in the first place. But, according to one of the reporters by-lined on the Washington Post's PRISM story, the exclusive was theirs to lose: it was offered to them first.
Barton Gellman posted a story cobbled from his chat transcripts with Snowden late Sunday, which contained this exchange concerning the whistleblower's conditions to keep the story the Post's:
To effect his plan, Snowden asked for a guarantee that The Washington Post would publish — within 72 hours — the full text of a PowerPoint presentation describing PRISM, a top-secret surveillance program that gathered intelligence from Microsoft, Facebook, Google and other Silicon Valley giants. He also asked that The Post publish online a cryptographic key that he could use to prove to a foreign embassy that he was the document's source.
I told him we would not make any guarantee about what we published or when. (The Post broke the story two weeks later, on Thursday. The Post sought the views of government officials about the potential harm to national security prior to publication and decided to reproduce only four of the 41 slides.)
Snowden replied succinctly, "I regret that we weren't able to keep this project unilateral." Shortly afterward he made contact with Glenn Greenwald of the British newspaper the Guardian.
Although the Guardian and the Post published nearly simultaneously on the PRISM story, it looks like the Post may have beaten the Guardian, only just, in getting the story live. But Snowden has apparently given everything else to the Guardian: They broke the Verizon data collection story. They were tasked with, at his request, revealing his identity. In the end, notably, neither paper published the slides in their entirety.
Gellman continued to chat with Snowden — codename "Verax," — after losing the exclusive, and his take on the conversation is worth a read. For one thing, it makes it clear that Snowden knew what he was getting in to, and that, arguably, his plan to reveal his identity after handing over the documents was as important to him as the leak itself.

Los Angeles County Accelerates CARE Court Implementation to Support Californians with Untreated Severe Mental Illness
Los Angeles County Accelerates CARE…
Passed in the Legislature with overwhelming support, CARE Court is a first-in-the-nation framework to engage, assist, and empower individuals suffering from untreated schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders
Los Angeles County today moved to accelerate its implementation of CARE Court, the state's new framework to deliver mental health and substance use disorder services to Californians suffering from severe mental health disorders. The County is working to implement the CARE Act by December 1, 2023, one year ahead of schedule.
Los Angeles County, the state's most populous, will join the original seven counties committed to implementing CARE Court in 2023: the counties of Glenn, San Diego, San Francisco, Tuolumne, Stanislaus, Orange and Riverside.
"CARE Court brings real progress and accountability at all levels to fix the broken system that is failing too many Californians in crisis," said Governor Gavin Newsom. "I commend Los Angeles County leaders, the courts, and all the local government partners and stakeholders across the state who are taking urgent action to make this lifesaving initiative a reality for thousands of struggling Californians."
The announcement comes just days after the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to declare a local emergency for homelessness, clearing the way for an expedited and regional response to the crisis.
"We are in a homelessness emergency and we know that many who are living on our streets are struggling with severe mental illness. Governor Newsom's Care Court model has been a missing piece in our effort to bring people inside," said Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn, Chair of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors.
"Across Los Angeles County, we have seen the effects of our mental health crisis spilling out onto our streets. Too many residents with severe mental health issues lack adequate treatment and often find themselves in a devastating cycle between our emergency departments, our jails, and falling into homelessness," said Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda L. Solis, First District. "CARE Court will provide people with untreated mental health issues an opportunity to get stabilized in a compassionate manner. I want to thank Governor Newsom for including Los Angeles County as one of the first participants, and I look forward to working with him to ensure a swift and effective implementation."
"I support bringing CARE Court to our county. It allows us to be on the ground floor of a new program where a lot of processes and implementation details still need to be worked out. Our county needs to have a seat at the table so we can effectively bring healing to individuals living with debilitating mental illness on our streets," said Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger, Fifth District. "We need a coordinated and consistent approach to help these individuals, and CARE Court is poised to help us meet that mission. Severe mental illness doesn't resolve itself."
"I want to thank the Governor for his leadership. It is profoundly inhumane to allow people to suffer mental illness and die on our streets," said Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. "We will lock arms with Los Angeles County, building CARE Courts and expanding mental health and substance abuse programs to help Angelenos get well while respecting all civil liberties."
"The Superior Court of Los Angeles County is eager to collaborate with our state and county partners to expedite the launch of CARE Court to address the mental health crisis in Los Angeles County," said Presiding Judge Samantha P. Jessner. "Our Court has a long history of establishing innovative programs that help those experiencing mental health issues, substance use disorders and other challenges. We commend the Governor and legislative leaders for their bold vision to help vulnerable populations and their families. We are pleased to join the first cohort of CARE courts to help launch this new program in Los Angeles County in the coming months and years."
The Community Assistance, Recovery and Empowerment (CARE) Act, authored by Senator Thomas Umberg (D-Santa Ana) and Senator Susan Talamantes Eggman (D-Stockton), received bipartisan and near-unanimous approval in both the state Senate and Assembly. CARE Court will be implemented statewide in a phased approach.
Last November, Governor Newsom convened representatives from the first cohort – comprised of the counties of Glenn, Orange, Riverside, San Diego, Stanislaus and Tuolumne, as well as the City and County of San Francisco – to discuss their planning efforts and share feedback and best practices on implementation with the state. CalHHS is establishing a CARE Act Working Group as part of ongoing engagement with impacted families, behavioral health providers, disability rights organizations, housing and homelessness advocates, racial equity experts, and others.
The housing and services for CARE Court clients is supported by unprecedented funding under the state's $15.3 billion investment in addressing homelessness, including $1.5 billion for behavioral bridge housing; more than $11 billion annually for mental health programs throughout California; and more than $1.4 billion for our health and human services workforce.
An additional $88.3 million in CARE Court start-up funds was provided this year for counties, courts, self-help and legal aid. Additional funding of at least $52 million for next budget year and $145 million in the following year is proposed to further support county and court operations. The State anticipates that at full implementation, the state will provide $215 million annually to support the operation of CARE Courts.
In addition to the $63 million in 2022-23 for county start-up costs, courts and legal services included in the 2022 state budget, the Governor's Budget includes an additional $215 million at full implementation to support counties, courts and legal services.
In Los Angeles County, the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health will oversee and coordinate the implementation of CARE Court.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is common among secretaries, writers or pretty much anyone else who has to type a lot to make a living. In fact, it's currently the most common form of peripheral neuropathy diagnosed in patients.
While using your wrists and fingers a lot certainly increases your odds of suffering from it, some patients claim that they did very little with their hands before being diagnosed. Anyone can get it, and a lot can cause it. Even something as simple as doing a lot of needle work.
A lot of patients misdiagnose themselves. They believe that if they experience hand and wrist aches, they must have the disease. While carpal tunnel syndrome does include pain as one of its symptoms, that also comes with muscular dysfunction, tingling, and numbness.
It's best to have an M.D. diagnose it. Once he has, you certainly aren't limited to his treatment options. While it's not wise to take supplements in conjunction with medication, there's no rule that says you can't go to an acupuncturist after having your prescription filled.
Your physician may try to persuade you to stay on, or only use, his path to healing by telling you that his treatments are backed up by studies and proof. While it's true that steroid injections have proven themselves as an effective treatment in clinical trials and studies, so has acupuncture. Acupuncture is a known and widely accepted treatment for the disorder. Several peer-reviewed articles exist with promising results. All it takes is a simple search online and you can read them all.
You should never disown modern medicine entirely. Acupuncture is a serious condition, and it needs to be treated as such. If you are not suffering from a mild case, or a case that's just developing, it's likely that you'll also need steroid and ultrasound treatments from your physician. If these therapies, in conjunction with the acupuncture, do not relieve your symptoms, your physician may recommend surgery.
If your physician has suggested surgery, it's probably because you really need it. Primary physicians do not make money off of referrals. Surgery may sound scary, but the operation performed for carpal tunnel has become less invasive over the years. Patients are only experiencing moderate levels of discomfort after coming up from anesthesia these days.
These little twinges of pain can be easily quelled by a quick session with an acupuncturist. Using an acupuncturist instead of traditional pain killers means there's no chance of you becoming dependent on medication. Plus, acupuncture's side effect free.
Some patients find out that they do not have carpal tunnel after going to the doctor to get it diagnosed. Acupuncture has been proven effective at relieving any sort of bodily pain. The source of which doesn't have to be from a particular disease or syndrome. If you've gone to the doctor with the belief that you have carpal tunnel, but then were told that you do not, it doesn't mean that the hand-pain was in your head. It just means that it's from something else. No matter where it's coming from, acupuncture can help fix it.
Why waste your time with a bunch of hocus pocus when there's one natural remedy that's actually been proven effective? Loads of people have walked into an acupuncturist's office doubtful, they all came out pleasantly surprised. A therapy that's been around for thousands of years must have something to it. You'll realize that as soon as you leave the office pain-free.


Natalie Frank, a Ph.D in clinical psychology, specializes in child health and pediatrics.
Everyone knows that kids say the darnedest things. Sometimes they can put the adults in their life in embarrassing or awkward such as asking questions about where babies come from in public or delight us such as when they marry off their dolls or have a chat with their toys. They may be funny when they mistake one word for another or when they simply speak what's on their mind, not having learned to filter their thoughts for appropriateness.
Kids are inquisitive, creative, endlessly interested in the world around them and discovering new things, and constantly remind us how fantastic, strange, controversial, confusing, complicated and funny life is. They are also often a lot wiser than we give them credit for and we can learn and gain a good deal of inspiration from them if only we stop to take their words to heart. If you aren't exactly sure what I mean by this, consider the following quotes uttered innocently by children of different ages.
This is such a beautiful quote. Although it's a terribly overused cliche, I think this quote is a reminder for us to stop and smell the roses. Our world has become so busy. It's filled with work, school, family, friends, errands, daily hassles, social media and technology. It seems like we're constantly in a rush, never in one place for too long. It's so easy to forget that life isn't about the craziness, or at least shouldn't be. No matter how insane your life seems to be, remember to take a break every so often, stop and just listen to the rain.
Accept that not everything has to be done perfectly. Prioritize those things you won't or can't compromise on and let the others things slide to just an acceptable degree so you have a little extra time for you.
If need be schedule your free time into your week. Set aside at least a small amount of time each day just for you. Schedule in at least one solid friend or family commitment. Add one hour at night to do something you enjoy by yourself or with others that you won't break unless it's an emergency.
Find things you enjoy but rarely do and schedule a time to do them.
Also find something you don't do but have always wanted to try and find a class or even a YouTube video that teaches you how and put it on the schedule.
Turn off the electronics for an hour a day. Electronics make many things easier but they also are stressful and provide a way for others to get to us all the time. This sets up demand characteristics such that we feel we need to check email, phone messages, texts and other types of instant communication methods. We can be found anywhere, anytime and everyone expects us to have a smartphone on us at all times. This has shrunk the window of time that we have before responding if we decide we aren't immediately accessible. To counter this stress, find an hour a day that you can put down all the electronics and get back to basics. Take a walk, read a book, bird watch, go for a swim. Do anything you want that in no way involves any type of electronic gadget and remember what it's like to unplug from the 24/7 tether.
If you are constantly around people, find time to be alone. Take a bubble bath, sit in a quiet room and think, cook or order a favorite meal and sit at a nicely set table with a candle to eat it.
Similarly, if you are always doing things alone, find extra time for social activities with those who matter the most to you.
Identify your places of refuge - Figure out where you go to recharge your batteries and relax. Maybe it's on your porch, in an unused room of your house the basement or the attic. It could even be a bathroom or a closet - whatever works for you. Also identify a couple of emergency spots at home and work or school. These should be places you can go to take a few deep breaths and spend a few minutes away from everything and everyone to write in a journal, read a chapter of a novel, knit a few rows or do something that brings you happiness and a sense of calm. Before starting an activity, close your eyes, breath deeply for a minute or two and imagine yourself in your favorite place, somewhere you feel safe and happy. Getting away for even a few minutes will help center and ground you so you can go back to your day with a renewed sense of purpose and increased energy.
Make time for play and let yourself just be silly. There are now adult arcades where you can go to act like a child again. Remember how to play skee ball, whack-a-mole or pacman? Want to try out virtual reality? How about bumper cars? When was the last time you visited a water park? Challenge some friends to a game of laser tag. Hit the amusement park. Pick something you loved to do as a kid and let yourself experience it again. The best way to to do this is let your kids lead the way. They'll remind you what play is all about. If you don't have kids, ask a friend or family member if you can borrow theirs. Usually, parents are more than happy to let you play with their kids, especially if it's under the guise of babysitting.
Almost all of the dreams of young children show motion, desirable activities and fantasies of things that aren't real. Positive emotions are also common in the dreams of 4 and 5 year olds. Children are extremely creative and they often amaze us with their imaginative play. It stands to reason that their fantasy play of dragons, princesses, superpowers and flying would make its way into their dreams.
As much fun as they have pretending, how much more fun do they have when dreaming their fantasies such that they seem real? When children related positive dreams they have it is not unusual for them to become extremely excited. That is because it may almost seem like a memory of something that really happened to them.
At some point when we are growing up, we learn that fantasies and imagination need to be left behind. Whereas we can have dreams, in terms of something we want to achieve in the future, fantasies are things that we just have fun imagining but have no chance of coming true. We come to believe they are a waste of time.
Adults also sometimes dream of getting revenge or changing the negative outcome of a situation they had no control of in real life.
While we need to take care of our responsibilities, we also need to give ourselves permission to fantasize and find times to be playful. This may influence our dreams as well as our emotions and experience of real life. By being able to use our imagination and see things the way we want them to be in the future, even if what we want seems unlikely, we have a better chance of achieving it. The more we perceive something as real or at least potentially real, the more we will act as if it can become real thereby possibly changing this imagined outcome into actuality.
We can't understand the meaning of a concept or truly believe in something until we have a clear image that we can attach to it. We can't make our lives happier unless we can first see our lives as better than they are now. If we don't know what a different future looks like we can't determine how to construct it. If we are stuck only with images of things remaining the same and never getting better we can't change our reality.
We have to let our imaginations run wild. We must dream. Dreaming in both the literal and figurative sense is necessary for creating a better life and a better world.
Most likely, we laugh when we read this since Jackson is only 9 years old now and referring back to when he was little as if it were 50 years ago. Yet, it's what he's referring to that is the meaningful part. Even though he is only 9 he recognizes that as we get older, we don't feel as able to act in the lighthearted way that we did when we were younger. By the age of 9 there are already usually a series of rules the child is expected to follow and limitations such as understanding that there are things they can't say that they didn't have to worry about when they were younger.
Getting older doesn't necessarily mean straying away from a youthful heart. It's important for us to find things that let us remain young at heart as we age to maintain the fun and excitement in life. Taking on new challenges especially those that may scare us a little, will force us out of our comfort zones which, although comfortable, can also lead to us stagnating. Challenges will take us back to the times when we were constantly learning, growing and striving towards something and each new experience was a new adventure in our life.
This is one of those cute sayings we hear from kids that make us smile. When we are small, we look to new things that don't fit into categories we have formed in our heads and try to find a way to make them fit. Usually, we do this based on what the phenomenon, object or situation seems to resemble the most, create a familiar way of thinking about what it resembles and apply it to the new thing. This is a straight forward, simple way of understanding things. As we get older, misperceptions get corrected and we begin to construct more complex explanations for things.
However, sometimes we construct explanations that are so long winded and convoluted that others either can't understand them or misunderstand them completely. The simplicity in our communication is lost. In fact, communication problems are one of the biggest problems in our society.
When we are young, it is expected that we express things through limited vocabulary and understanding. As we get older, however, we are expected to know not to speak about something which we aren't knowledgeable and to use correct vocabulary to expresses our message. Yet these things don't necessarily characterize our communication.
Young children also tend to be transparent, sometimes to a fault. They say what they think without attempting to manipulate, disguise or hide things or use language to convince people to believe, say or act the way we want. These problems can be facilitated by a culture that often rewards quantity of words over quality and intent.
As Mark Twain said: "Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities. Truth isn't."
We can manipulate language, and provide convoluted explanations to explain something in a way that can mislead people. This may prevent them from realizing that our words represent a fiction outside the realm of what is possible.
We need to look to children as an example and, instead, make our assumptions, explanations and communication simple, straight forward and as transparent as we can and expect the same of others. Then we will be less likely to be fooled by "alternate facts," or logical sounding rhetoric that is anything but.
I couldn't decide between these two quotes so I have included both. I see them as having a similar message. Kids have no problem just being who they are. Yet they recognize as the get older something happens and they have to start acting like everyone else.
It can be a little intimidating trying to be our true selves. It means we could be opening ourselves up to ridicule and having others criticize our true selves. It's definitely more comfortable conforming, always making sure to just blend in. It takes courage, self confidence, self awareness and a good dose of resiliency to be ourselves. The risks may be a bit frightening but the reward of living an authentic life as the person we are are unlimited. The benefits of facing obstacles and overcoming them as we are not as who we think others want us to be are far greater than the comfort and perceived safety obtained by never having gone forth at all.
From the Mouth of Babes. . .
I don't think any explanation is needed on this one. I'll just say this: Sometimes we need to let the children lead the way. They truly are our future.
Peg - That's just too cute! Thanks for stopping by and for taking the time to comment. Glad you enjoyed the article.
It's so true that "out of the mouth of babes" comes much wisdom. You've captured some really cute phrases and thoughts of children. One time my young soon-to-be step-son said to my dog, "I can't wait until Mommy and Daddy are married so that your last name will be the same as ours."
That's so great that you were actually on the Art Linkletter show! The best I ever did was Romper Room and I don't even remember it! Though I have to say the thought of getting up and singing on the radio is pretty intimidating to me - you must have been a very confident outgoing child! I think a bicycle is a pricier prize than roller skates but the important thing was you loved them! I just got this plastic yellow basket that you walked around with balanced on top of your head that was used to train little girls to have good posture! Thanks again.
RTalloni - your grandchildren sound too cute! Good thinking from that one who wanted to make sure everyone had bed when blown her way! It often seems so easy to get children to see the bright side of things - especially when they feel safe and secure. Everyone's worrying about the storm but when told it might send them your way your grandchild was all for it! And I totally agree with your grandson about gory bug stories being definitely ungorgeous! I find bugs in general to ungorgeous! Thanks for comment and for stopping by.
Not sure if I can answer the question about childhood dreams, I know they were entertaining and fun-- but then, I had a very secure chidhood.
On another point I was actually on the Art Linkletter show.. when I was four or so, on radio before they moved to TV. I'll have to say, that they prompted the kids beforehand by asking them questions before the program aired-- then picked what they thought was the best question for you to answer.
I said I wanted to be a singer when I grew up, so they had me sing. I still have an old record of it.
They gave the kids "prizes" for payment. My mom thought it was totally unfair that a boy got a bicycle, and I only got roller skates -- but I loved the roller skates.
Listening to little ones is so important for they often say so much more than their actual words. Recently, to alleviate my grandchildren's possible concerns about the recent hurricane, I told them that if it came to us we hoped it would blow to where they live. Granddaughter's reply? "Well, if it does make sure you hold on to your beds. We don't have enough for everybody." She is our big-picture problem solver and I think she was thinking we would bring our whole neighborhood. Another said, "Then we hope it comes!" This one is our looker-on-the-bright-side child. The things they come up with should all be written down. A grandson had a gory bug story to tell us. He began with, "Now, this is ungorgeous." Viva face chat!
Your are welcome, Dora. I am glad you enjoyed the article. Thanks for stopping by.
What an interesting story, Rochelle. That's a different approach to sleep from most kids who fight bedtimes. Did you feel like you were watching your dreams as movies when you were dreaming or was that something you just thought when you were awake? Thanks for reading and commenting.
Yep, Bill you're right it was Art Linkletter. Later Cosby had a similar show. I wish there was something like that on today. Sometimes the way kids thought would show in such amazing ways. Thanks for reading and commenting.
Definitely, Liz. Kids are amazing. While learning to internalize our thoughts and not just blurt them out and how to think more in tune with others in our society are important skills for maturing children to learn, I also hate that we lose some of this playfulness, logical and direct thought and the willingness to say what's on our minds. Thanks for stopping by and for the comment.
I don't know how many of us wouldn't love to be a fairy every now and again, at least women. I'm not sure what the corresponding fantasy might be in men! Thanks for the comment Flourish.
Miebakagh - I agree. Children are really amazing. Your kids sound delightful. You are truly blessed.
Ditto, Louise - especially if I could fly!
All great quotes. Greta's first one is my favorite. Kids feed our thoughts with deep insights. Thanks for this presentation, including your commentaries.
It was Art Linkletter, right, who had that old show on television. I always loved that show. Kids are fascinating little creatures indeed, packed full of lessons for us adults to learn.
As a former teacher of young children, I always enjoyed listening to the the wisdom and creativity that came from them.
Regarding dreams, when was a child, my mom said she never got an argument when it was time to go to bed. I wanted to go and watch the "movies", which they discovered were my dreams. At that time no one had a TV and we went to the movie theater maybe twice a month. Luckily I had my own movies.
This is a thought-provoking article. The phrase 'Out of the mouths of babes...' comes to mind. We were entertained by an 8 and 10 year old over a meal with friends this week. We can learn so much from children and their simpler approach to life.
I love that he quote about being a fairy! That would be awesome.
Hello, Natalie, the facts you raised in the story are truth hard to the mind. I do not know how to react. But some how, my little girl of 3 years and 9 months create a scenerio that shock me to the core while I am reading the story. She remind me that She has to take a breakfast of home made bread today as I promised on Sunday when her mum had finished making breakfast of custard and bean cakes. My pleas that I faild to bake the bread due to exigency was rebuffed. She refused the breakfast meal her mum made. "Okay, I will made you fried plantains tomorrow." She insist I do it now.
Then her big sister call that is his on her way home from her three weeks travel. She talk cheerfully on the phone with her for some time, then the sister was actually home at last. A cash gift of $1 and a pack of ice crean. The small girl went to buy some sweets for sharing. Later she took two cents from the changes to buy a for a visitor, though she has no knowledge of the amount of changes. We instruct her, and we are amazed at her understanding because her mum said the money is all spent, though some money remained, which the girl confirmed.
That is a liitle girls' mind. Whether here she had a good filter of her mind, I can not tell. All children have not the same set of minds. But really, their small minds is fullof wisdom, surprises, tricks, playful, and much.. Thank you.
Children certainly do say the funniest things. Although I agree with the last quote. I wish I could be a fairy too sometimes!

Thriving Through Service
SJC Brooklyn's Chris Malcaus '18 leaves behind a legacy of helping others
by Michael Banach July 23, 2018
Service is more than a calling for Christopher Malcaus —it has defined his SJC Brooklyn career.
During his four years in Clinton Hill, the Bishop Ford High School graduate served as vice president of the campus' Student Government Association, president of the Political Science Club, a campus tour guide and a nationwide Fellow. For someone so innately drawn to forming relationships and serving others, it's no surprise that he identified so quickly and so deeply with the feeling of camaraderie at St. Joseph's.
"I always follow my instincts, and everything told me to go to SJC," said Mr. Malcaus, a May 2018 graduate. "The feel was right; the supportive atmosphere that I loved in high school was also present at St. Joseph's."
Once he arrived at the College, Mr. Malcaus immersed himself into student life.
"Ever since I could remember, I've always sought to be a part of whatever community I'm in. At the first club expo, I met the president of the Political Science Club, Kristina Hernandez, who took me under her wing and showed me how to get things done."
It also did not take Mr. Malcaus long to direct his academic focus to a new and growing major at SJC — hospitality and tourism management (HTM).When he declared as an HTM major, he became an ideal candidate for a new SJC internship program: the Patient Ambassador Program in partnership with NYC HHHC/Bellevue Hospital. Designed to improve the patient experience on the non-clinical side, Mr. Malcaus was the first student chosen for this experience.
"This internship gave me a unique opportunity; I helped patients and their families make their stays more pleasant and I gained valuable experience," he said. "I learned how a major health care facility operated, and I had the chance to work with hospital leadership."
In recognition for his dedicated service to the College, he was selected to serve as St. Joseph's College's Newman Fellow, a prestigious nationwide program to support community service on college campuses.
After graduation, Mr. Malcaus hopes to work in health care while pursuing a master's in public administration. When asked about his biggest accomplishment at St. Joseph's, he didn't hesitate:
I hope my peers learned the value of hard work and the importance of reaching out and including everyone," he said. "I hope they are inspired to find their place in a community and work to constantly improve it."

Wisconsin Mathematician Shows The Power Of Mathematical Thinking In New Book
Published September 12, 2014 at 3:07 PM CDT
jordanellenberg.com
For most of us, math is terrifying. Even if we did well in school, few of us see how math has anything to do with our everyday lives, save for calculating a tip or a batting average.
Wisconsin mathematician Jordan Ellenberg says we need to rethink our relationship with math.
Ellenberg, the Vilas Distinguished Achievement Professor of Mathematics at UW-Madison, visited with us in the Lake Effect studio recently, and told Bonnie North why he believes we don't already get that math is part of everything, and why most people are raised to be intimidated by math.
"Some people see the mathematician as a kind of very big calculator on two legs whose job is to give the right answer when asked a question," says Ellenberg. "But in reality, the role of mathematics is to formulate the right questions."
Jordan Ellenberg's new book is called called How Not to Be Wrong: The Power of Mathematical Thinking.

By the husbands prompting, I did a spur of the moment painting and it ended up liking the color a lot. So we've got a swatch to do!
Obviously, you have your base coat.
This color is a sheer one so instead of trying to wait for four or five coats to dry, I started off with Sinful Colors Snow Me White so that the pink would show well. One coat of that and two of the pink.
Finish that with a coat of Seche Vite and we're good to go!


In the summer of 2006, staff at HVH initiated a pet photo contest to help celebrate our patients. We wanted to take a little peek into their lives and see all the goofy, cute, and adorable things they do, apart from being wonderful patients. From its humble beginnings, the annual pet photo contest has morphed into a big part of our yearly calendar. The essence still remains the same, we want to be able to see your pets' real personality showing and enriching the contest.

Marcus Minucius Rufus (died August 2, 216 BC) was a Roman consul in 221 BC. He was also Magister Equitum during the dictatorship of Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosus known as Cunctator.

He was a political enemy of Fabius Maximus. He was against his delaying defensive strategy during the Second Punic War. While the Carthaginians had been busy at Geronium, Fabius had left Minucius in charge of the Roman army with instructions to follow the "Fabian strategy" and journeyed to Rome to observe some religious duties. Minucius, who had always advocated a more forward strategy against Hannibal, moved down from the hills after a few days and set up a new camp in the plain of Larinum to the north of Geronium. The Romans then began harassing the Carthaginian foragers from their new camp as Minucius sought to provoke Hannibal into battle. Hannibal in response moved near the Roman camp from Geronium with two thirds of his army, built a temporary camp and occupied a hill overlooking the Roman camp with 2,000 Numidian spearmen. The mobility of the Carthaginians was restricted at this time as their cavalry horses were being rested. This had also deprived Hannibal of his best weapon against the Romans, a fact which would come into play soon.

Minucius promptly attacked and drove back the spearmen posted on the hill, and then moved his camp to the top of the captured hill. The stage was set for a confrontation, with the initiative resting with Minucius. The Roman commander, for all his rashness, handled the situation with skill and shrewdness to manipulate the events to his advantage. After that he was named co-commander to Fabius. However Minucius finally accepted his commands after Fabius saved his life during Hannibal's attack at Geronium.

Marcus Minucius Rufus was killed in the Battle of Cannae.

Tom Hiddleston's Original Audition For Thor Will Make You Cringe
Tom Hiddleston gifted Marvel fans with a look back on his original audition to play Thor, God of Thunder. Watch the cringeworthy clip below.

Fun fact: Tom Hiddleston never auditioned for the role of Loki.
During Monday's The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the actor revealed that in 2009, when the first Thor movie was being cast, he originally auditioned to play the God of Thunder. The process lasted three months, and he almost got the part! Yes, there is a (dark) world where Hiddleston almost played Thor over Chris Hemsworth.
As the star told Jimmy Fallon, "Basically, at the time, they were looking for sort of less well established actors so that the audience didn't have an association. They just wanted people to see these new characters, these new actors. And the ream it was, if you're over six foot and you've got blonde hair, you can come and have a pop at it. So, I never auditioned for Loki. I only ever auditioned for Thor, which is nuts."
What's even more nuts is what happened next. As Fallon revealed to the unsuspecting Hiddleston, "We have friends over at Marvel that sent us the original audition footage of you." Cue the actor's terrified face.
Thor: Ragnarok: Movie Pics!
"This has never been shown!" Fallon shared. "This has never been released." Then, they rolled the clip.
Clad in a grey tank and tight black pants, a flowing blonde wig on his head, Hiddleston is seen holding Thor's hammer as he says the line, "And remember, you chose this."
He then charges toward the camera and pretends to charge the hammer with lightning. Honestly, it's quite impressive! A little awkward, for sure, given there are zero special effects, but it's not hard to see why Marvel wanted him.
Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez Are Hopeful for 2021 Wedding
When the clip played out, the 38-year-old actor stayed humble. Slightly embarrassed, yes. But humble, nonetheless.
"Thank you very much. You really are too kind," he said to the cheering audience. Turning to the host, he quipped, "I think we can all agree that they cast the right actor."

It's a good thing he didn't play Thor, seeing as he now will be starring in his very own Loki TV show on Disney+! Life has a funny way of working out.

Hello, my name is Rolane Grinnell. I wanted to share a little bit about our family and company. Pet Partners Worldwide is a family-owned company located in Cedar City, Utah consisting of myself, my wife Stacey, and our partners Rick and Leslee Anderson, all of our kids, and of course the family best friend, Isabella our beloved Shih Tzu. Because we are family-owned, we bring family values to the table and consider all of our business partners to be family. We like to say family first!
I used to own a mortgage company with satellite offices, which had me traveling a lot. Like many proud pet owners, I loved to bring my two Shih Tzus, Party and Isabelle to work with me.
While you are traveling you with your pets, you want them to be as comfortable and taken care of as you are. I would pack their food in little Tupperware containers, but it would always find a way of spilling and their water would become boiling hot left in the car's cupholder. There was a definite problem.
We're sure pet owners can relate – to me having to pull up the mats and vacuum the dog food out of the car before it would get stuck in crevices or sun baked. Dealing with this never-ending battle, I envisioned a travel pet feeder that could open up, let my dogs eat and drink out of, close the lid and go. The concept would have to be self-contained, spill-proof, and it would be convenient, secure and fashionable. But most of all, it had to provide all of the basic necessities for dogs on the go.
One day, I was looking at a tin lunch pail and that's when the light bulb went off. I thought it would be awesome if I could make a similar lunch pail for pets. So, I approached my long-time friend and fellow entrepreneur, Rick Anderson about his idea. The pair set off to launch Pet Partners Worldwide and their flagship product, "My Pet Pail" was born.
Through our passion for animals, shared business acumen, and strong entrepreneurial drive, we are revolutionizing the travel pet care industry with their innovative products and designs.
Thank you for all your support and always feel free to email me directly at rolane@mypetpail.com.


It seems that video games are starting to become eerily familiar, reeking of certain machinations that overlap ideas and themes. Most games these days either have you shooting someone in the face or punching a spine into a chiropractic Spanish Fly. But what about those indie games? They seem to be doing alright. And that's in genres that we don't even have proper words for yet.
And according to this one person who has probably made a game that went over well, the indie market is where the innovation is at.
"I can't believe I'm about to say this–I'll never work in this industry again–but in the mainstream space I really haven't seen a whole lot of progress," Deus Ex Designer Warren Spector said in a Gamasutra interview.
It seems like we're getting more finely tuned, prettier versions of games we've been playing for years.
That's in stark contrast to the indie game space according to Spector, a division of development where ideas are more varied and yield more "interesting" results. "Thank god for the indie space; there are people trying interesting things there," Spector said. Right now, Spector is himself working on something that will most likely be finely-tuned and quite pretty: System Shock 3. It's a sequel being developed with several other legends over at the OtherSide studio, one which Spector has several ideas for.
"I see a variety of places where we could make some strides that would help take games to the next level," Spector said.
The biggest one, for me, is more robust characters and character AI. We've gotten very good at combat AI, we've made great strides there, but I don't think we've done much in the world of non-combat AI and interacting with people –human or otherwise. We haven't done a lot with conversation, and establishing emotional relationships with characters in games.
So I'd very much like to play with that.
There's one other thing that Spector would like to play with: Giving players the freedom and ability to create their own stories, in the same manner that Dishonored developer Arkane did with their cult favourite stealth-slasher.
"Also, while I've seen some efforts, especially from the guys at Arkane, to sort of extend the design philosophy of Origin and Looking Glass–that whole 'immersive simulation' and its philosophy of empowering players to tell their own stories. I'd like to go further with that," Spector explained.
It's nice to see more people trying, but I think there's a ways we could go as well, in terms of empowering players to tell their own stories. Those are the directions I'm going to try to go in. We'll see if I can pull it off.
That's a fair enough argument. Mainstream is however, where the money is, and it's a part of the industry that has to cater to more people than what indie games do or aim for. That, and I really like shooting stuff.

This year's Apple Watch Series 4 was launched with ECG recording feature to detect irregularities in heart rhythm, as well as a fall detection feature. Apple may move a step ahead with its new generation of smartwatch and add sensors to measure the UV light intake by the wearer and advise users accordingly. This could help people prevent sunburn, premature skin aging, and even skin by warning the users that have been out in the sun and exposed to UV light for too long.
A patent granted by the US Patent and Trademark Office to Apple for "UV dosimetry and exposure alert" describes a system where UV light sensors detect sunlight and track exposure over time. With the help of data collected by the sensors, the system can then advise users on preventative measures if levels are too high. The images of "the system" provided by Apple in the patent suggest that the technology could be incoporated in future Apple Watches.
As per the image, the device with the system includes several potential locations of the UV sensors. AppleInsider reports that this system could be augmented by other sensors like an ambient light sensor and infrared light sensor which could feed more accurate data into the analyser to increase the efficiency of the system. The system is also said to be capable enough to determine whether the user is indoors or outdoors.
Apart from sunlight exposure data, the patent says, that the system could also provide "location-dependent UV index information" from weather reports which could help in prevention of skin-related diseases. Wearers could be warned in advance of supposed high-risk periods of the day, especially if they have already been exposed to the Sun for a considerable period beforehand.
