So groups of people in positions of unaccountable power naturally resort to violence, do they? Not according to research conducted in a BBC experiment.
The photographs from Abu Ghraib prison showing Americans abusing Iraqi prisoners make us recoil and lead us to distance ourselves from their horror and brutality. Surely those who commit such acts are not like us? Surely the perpetrators must be twisted or disturbed in some way? They must be monsters. We ourselves would never condone or contribute to such events.
Sadly, 50 years of social psychological research indicates that such comforting thoughts are deluded. A series of major studies have shown that even well-adjusted people, when divided into groups and placed in competition against each other, can become abusive and violent.
Most notoriously, the 1971 Stanford prison experiment, conducted by Philip Zimbardo and colleagues, seemingly showed that young students who were assigned to the role of guard quickly became sadistically abusive to the students assigned to the role of prisoners.
Combined with lessons from history, the disturbing implication of such research is that evil is not the preserve of a small minority of exceptional individuals. We all have the capacity to behave in evil ways. This idea was famously developed by Hannah Arendt whose observations of the Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann, led her to remark that what was most frightening was just how mild and ordinary he looked. His evil was disarmingly banal.
In order to explain events in Iraq, one might go further and conclude that the torturers were victims of circumstances, that they lost their moral compass in the group and did things they would normally abhor. Indeed, using Zimbardo's findings as evidence, this is precisely what some people do conclude. But this is bad psychology and it is bad ethics.
It is bad psychology because it suggests we can explain human behaviour without needing to scrutinize the wider culture in which it is located. It is bad ethics because it absolves everyone from any responsibility for events - the perpetrators, ourselves as constituents of the wider society, and the leaders of that society.
In the situation of Abu Ghraib, some reports have indicated that the guards were following orders from intelligence officers and interrogators in order to soften up the prisoners for interrogation.
If that is true, then clearly the culture in which these soldiers were immersed was one in which they were encouraged to see and treat Iraqis as subhuman. Other army units almost certainly had a very different culture and this provides a second explanation of why some people in some units may have tortured, but others did not.
Perhaps the best evidence that such factors were at play is the fact that the pictures were taken at all. Reminiscent of the postcards that lynch mobs circulated to advertise their activities, the torture was done proudly and with a grotesque sense of fun.
Those in the photos wanted others to know what they had done, presumably believing that the audience would approve. This sense of approval is very important, since there is ample evidence that people are more likely to act on any inclinations to behave in obnoxious ways when they sense - correctly or incorrectly - that they have broader support.
So where did the soldiers in Iraq get that sense from? This takes us to a critical influence on group behaviour: leadership. In the studies, leadership - the way in which experimenters either overtly or tacitly endorsed particular forms of action - was crucial to the way participants behaved.
Thus one reason why the guards in our own research for the BBC did not behave as brutally as those in the Stanford study, was that we did not instruct them to behave in this way.
Zimbardo, in contrast, told his participants: "You can create in the prisoners feelings of boredom, a sense of fear to some degree, you can create a notion of arbitrariness that their life is totally controlled by us, by the system, you, me - and they'll have no privacy.... In general what all this leads to is a sense of powerlessness".
In light of this point it is interesting to ask what messages were being provided by fellow and, more critically, senior officers in the units where torture took place? Did those who didn't approve fail to speak out for fear of being seen as weak or disloyal? Did senior officers who knew what was going on turn a blind eye or else simply file away reports of misbehaviour?
All these things happened after the My Lai massacre, and in many ways the responses to an atrocity tell us most about how it can happen in the first place. They tell us how murderers and torturers can begin to believe that they will not be held to account for what they do, or even that their actions are something praiseworthy. The more they perceive that torture has the thumbs up, the more they will give it a thumbs up themselves.
So how do we prevent these kinds of episodes? One answer is to ensure that people are always made aware of their other moral commitments and their accountability to others. Whatever the pressures within their military group, their ties to others must never be broken. Total and secret institutions, where people are isolated from contact with all others are breeding grounds for atrocity. Similarly, there are great dangers in contracting out security functions to private contractors which lack fully developed structures of public accountability.
Another answer is to look at the culture of our institutions and the role of leaders in framing that culture. Bad leadership can permit torture in two ways. Sometimes leaders can actively promote oppressive values. This is akin to what happened in Zimbardo's study and may be the case in certain military intelligence units. But sometimes leaders can simply fail to promote anything and hence create a vacuum of power.
Our own findings indicated that where such a vacuum exists, people are more likely to accept any clear line of action which is vigorously proposed. Often, then, tyranny follows from powerlessness rather than power. In either case, the failure of leaders to champion clear humane and democratic values is part of the problem.
But it is not enough to consider leadership in the military. One must look more widely at the messages and the values provided in the community at large. That means that we must address the anti-Arab and anti-Muslim sentiment in our society. A culture where we have got used to pictures of Iraqi prisoners semi-naked, chained and humiliated can create a climate in which torturers see themselves as heroes rather than villains.
Again, for such a culture to thrive it is not necessary for everyone to embrace such sentiments, it is sufficient simply for those who would oppose them to feel muted and out-of-step with societal norms.
And we must also look at political leadership. When administration officials talk about cleaning out "rats' nests" of Iraqi dissidents, it likens Iraqis to vermin. Note, for example, that just before the Rwandan genocide, Hutu extremists started referring to Tutsi's as "cockroaches".
Such use of language again creates a climate in which perpetrators of atrocity can maintain the illusion that they are nobly doing what others know must be done. The torturers in Iraq may or may not have been following direct orders from their leaders, but they were almost certainly allowed to feel that they were behaving as good followers.
So if we want to understand why torture occurs, it is important to consider the psychology of individuals, of groups, and of society. Groups do indeed affect the behaviour of individuals and can lead them to do things they never anticipated. But how any given group affects our behaviour depends upon the norms and values of that specific group.
Evil can become banal, but so can humanism. The choice is not denied to us by human nature but rests in our own hands. Hence, we need a psychological analysis that addresses the values and beliefs that we, our institutions, and our leaders promote. These create the conditions in which would-be torturers feel either emboldened or unable to act.
We need an analysis that makes us accept rather than avoid our responsibilities. Above all, we need a psychology which does not distance us from torture but which requires us to look closely at the ways in which we and those who lead us are implicated in a society which makes barbarity possible.

Each summer, I take several of my houseplants outside to grow. This is a common practice, but not essential. Many houseplants, particularly those that thrive in low light, can live indoors quite successfully for their entire life. Some houseplants such as citrus, plumeria, cacti and succulents, and gardenia benefit greatly from growing outside for the summer.
Most houseplants are tolerant of cool temperatures but not cold temperatures. Bring plants inside when the night temperatures drop consistently into the low 50s to high 40s. In Kentucky, this temperature change usually happens in October, varying from early October until after Halloween. It is better to bring them in early, if that works better for your schedule, than waiting and risking cold injury if you forget.
Before bringing PLANTS inside always inspect for pests and treat if necessary. It is easier to treat the plants while outside. Often just washing the plants off with a steady stream of water is sufficient and will knock off any accidental invaders and clean them nicely. Have a plan for where plants will go, and use saucers to prevent water from damaging your floors.
It is best to know what light levels your plants prefer and place them in the home accordingly. Houseplants require some natural light to live and grow in the winter months and should always be placed in or near a window. When this is not possible, there are excellent grow lights available to help them survive winter.
The Ficus elastica, or Indian rubberplant, pictured, is an excellent houseplant and will thrive when grown indoors over the winter, and then placed outside in a partly shady spot in summer. It is resilient and easy to grow, and tolerates bright, but indirect light indoors. Growing houseplants has always been popular, and the trend is budding because many houseplants also help improve indoor air quality. Healthy and happy plants will be more efficient at cleaning the air, so care for them well and they will help care for you.

We'll show them the products, programs and systems for which we plan to establish these Bug Bounties," Ammann said. "Then we'll put them in a comfortable environment — ply them with pizza and Red Bull or whatever they might need — and turn them loose."
Encouraging outsiders to search for flaws is a counter-intuitive but common technique in security. Similar to a beta testing program, the goal is that friendly "white hat" hackers would identify problems in GM products, share those findings with the company, and provide GM time to fix the issues.
The upcoming Bug Bounty program appears to be a follow-on to a similar program General Motors initiated in 2016, in partnership with the security platform HackerOne. As part of that program, GM committed not to sue security researchers for hacking GM products, provided the researchers complied with a number of stipulations, such as not disclosing the vulnerability until GM rolled out a solution.
The program Ammann announced on Friday seems more focused than GM's previous Bug Bounty program in 2016. Latest Hacking News reports that only about 10 security researchers will participate. However, the selected researchers team will receive special access to GM products and systems, along with additional support from the company, in the form of "pizza and Red Bull or whatever they might need", according to Ammann.
Security for autonomous ridesharing vehicles is a challenging problem. These vehicles will have both digital and physical "attack surfaces", an industry term for points where a hacker could break into the system. Autonomous ridesharing by definition affords passengers physical access to a shared vehicle, without any human driver or operator present. A malicious user could exploit that unsupervised physical access to either extract data about previous passengers, or tamper with the experience of future passengers.
To combat these security issues, automotive companies are working on security measures ranging from monitoring the interior of a vehicle to locking down network access.
One cyber incident could stymie (autonomous vehicle) deployment altogether, or at least delay it for a long time. The public and policymakers would view a major cybersecurity incident involving any one of us as an incident involving all of us."

Leading enterprises like Netflix, Uber, and Airbnb have demonstrated that the future of business lies in figuring out how to create value faster than competitors. This sounds good on paper, but enterprises can get hit snags when trying to move faster without creating more value in practice.
To address this gap, many companies are starting to leverage value stream mapping (VSM) as a kind of flashlight to look inside their complex software development processes to identify changes that might create the most value. VSM can also make it easier to see when new approaches improve or degrade how their software development process creates value.
VSM is a process for analyzing how value is created in an organization. It consists of a variety of techniques for making sense of the complex flow of information and deliverables that are anticipated to create value for customers, shareholders, and employees. The core ideas originated as part of "lean process improvement" in manufacturing, to identify waste and streamline production. The same ideas are being adopted to also improve software development lifecycles as part of continuous delivery and agile methodologies.
Value is a relative term; it can imply different things, depending on management goals and their strategy for augmenting metrics like improved traffic, engagement, conversions, sales, or customer experience. Once a team has identified particular goals, VSM can improve enterprise agile management to see how a portfolio of products aligns with these and how particular features augment or detract from them. On the execution side, VSM can make it easier to identify how a new feature request is coded, tested, and deployed at every part of the process.
On the capture side, they might want to start with a process of measuring customer experience, such as and online survey like Net Promoter Score to correlate customer experience with their use of existing and new features within their product portfolio. At a strategic level, management could see how well their existing portfolio lines up with customer experience as a baseline. As new features are introduced, subsequent measurements could indicate what is adding to or reducing value.
On the value delivery side, they can look at how a feature request flows through the software development lifecycle: from a developer implementing a feature, QA testing it, security vetting it, and the process of pushing it into production.
They may find, for example, that new features go through an extensive security review processes that leads to frequent rework by developers. It may also be the case that developers spend considerable time filling out documentation or meeting security requirements that aren't relevant for a particular project. VSM could help a manager to recognize these bottlenecks and create a process that includes security review teams earlier in the development cycle to reduce the work of developers, eliminate rework, and streamline the final security review process.
These are relatively simple examples, and each enterprise is going to have its own unique bottlenecks and processes that lead to wasted time and effort. One approach to VSM is to sketch out a map of the value creation process using input from many of the stakeholders. This might be a good start to open a team's eyes to the wider processes, and identify some of the bigger bottlenecks and sources of waste.
Another approach is to use a tool embedded into the value creation workflow to automatically generate a dynamic value creation map that may be more accurate and better able to quantify the impact of changes. This is just a starting point, but it can help automate the process of aligning the team's efforts on an ongoing basis.


Bending is a stamping process that uses pressure to force the material to plastically deform. Thereby forming a certain angle and curvature shape.
Commonly used bends include V-bend, Z-bend offset bend and hemming bend etc.
The sheet metal bending height should be at least 2 times the thickness of the sheet metal plus the bending radius, that is, H ≥ 2t + R.
As shown in the figure below, the sheet metal bending height is too low, and the sheet metal is easily deformed and twisted when bent, which making it difficult to obtain the ideal part shape and ideal dimensional accuracy.
When bending a beveled edge, the bend distortion is most likely to occur because the bend height is too small.
As shown in the figure below, in the original design, since the leftmost bending height is too small, the bending deformation is likely to occur during bending, which resulting in low bending quality.
In the improved design, the height of the left side bend can be increased or the minimum part of the bend height can be removed, so that the sheet metal bend does not undergo distortion and the bending quality is high.
In order to ensure the bending strength, the bending radius of the sheet metal should be greater than the minimum bending radius of the sheet metal. The minimum bending radius of various common sheet metal materials is shown in the following table.
Of course, the sheet metal bending radius is not the bigger the better. The larger the bending radius is, the larger the bending spring back is, and the bending angle and bending height are less easy to control.
Therefore, the radius of the sheet metal needs reasonable value.
In addition, sheet metal mold manufacturers tend to have a bending radius of zero, so that the sheet metal does not easily rebound after bending, and the bending height and the bending angle are relatively easy to control.
However, the bending of with zero bending radius is easy to cause the external cracking or even breaking of the sheet metal, and the bending strength of the sheet metal is relatively low, especially for the hard sheet metal material.
Moreover, the right angle on the mold will gradually become smooth after a period of production, and the bending size will become difficult to control.
In order to reduce the bending force and ensure the bending size, the sheet metal mold manufacturer adopts another method to add the pressing process before the bending process, as shown in the figure below.
However, such a design also causes defects such as relatively low bending strength and easy fracture of sheet metal.
The pressing process is a stamping process in which a partially extruded material is forced to extrude a groove on the sheet metal to facilitate bending and ensure bending accuracy.
Sheet metal bending should be as perpendicular as possible to the direction of the metal fiber.
When the sheet metal bend is parallel to the direction of the fiber of the metal material, cracks are likely to occur at the bend of the sheet metal, and the bending strength is low and it is easy to break, as shown in the following figure.
When sheet metal is bent, it is often because the other features which are too close to the base of the sheet metal for bending, so that it cannot be pressed and cannot be bent or severely deformed after bending.
In general, at least two times the thickness of the sheet metal plus the bending radius at the base of the sheet metal must be ensured that there is no other feature to block the pressing when the sheet metal is bent, as shown in the following figure.
In the original design, the offset flattening position was too close to the base of the sheet metal, which caused the sheet metal cannot be pressed and the bending failed.
Another example, if the sheet metal budding is too close to the root of the bend and the bend cannot be made, the bud can be moved to the position of the base of the sheet metal, as the first design in the improved design below.
If the position of the bud and the bend cannot be moved because of the design requirements, a open cutting can be added to the root of the bend corresponding to the bud to ensure the smooth bending process, such as the second design in the improved design.
Due to the existence of the sheet metal bending tolerance, in the direction of the bending of the sheet metal, a certain bending gap needs to be secured to avoid the bending failure caused by the interference during the bending.
As shown in the figure below, it is a simplified diagram of a complex bending sheet metal part. The bending order is that the upper side is bent first, and then bend the right side.
In the original design, there were no gaps between the two bend edges. When the upper side is bent and then the right side is bent, the presence of the sheet metal bending tolerance is likely to cause the right side to interfere with the upper side during the bending process.
In the improved design, at least 0.2mm clearance is left between the right side and the upper side, which can effectively avoid bending interference.
The bending strength needs to be ensured when the sheet metal is bent, and the long and narrow bending strength is low, and the short and wide bending strength is high.
Therefore, the sheet metal bend should be attached to the longer side as much as possible, as shown in the figure below.
Even for bend with the same function, in the original design, because the bend is attached to the shorter side and the bending strength is low. In the improved design, the bend is attached to the longer side and the bending strength is high.
The more the bending process of the sheet metal part, the higher the mold cost and the lower the bending precision.
Therefore, the sheet metal design should minimize the bending process, as shown in the figure below.
In the original design, the sheet metal requires two bending processes. In the improved design, the sheet metal only needs one bending process to complete the bending of the two sides at the same time.
Similarly, the more complicated the sheet metal bending process, the more material waste may be caused.
Therefore, when sheet metal has complex bends, consider splitting a complex bend into two parts.
Although this violates the principle of reducing the number of parts, it is more likely to result in lower product costs and improved product quality.
Of course, such a design needs to be verified by rigorous calculations.
As shown in the figure below, the sheet metal part with complex bending is split into two parts, and the two pieces are assembled by rivet, self-riveting or spot welding.
Many engineers must have such painful experience, why the screws or the nail holes on the sheet metal bending are always misaligned, so that the screws and rivets cannot be fixed.
This is because sheet metal bending tolerances are large, especially when sheet metal has multiple bends.
As can be seen from the above table, the more times the sheet metal is bent, the greater the bending tolerance. It is difficult to ensure the accuracy of the dimensions of the multiple bends of the sheet metal. This is why the screw holes, the pull holes and the self-rivet holes on the sheet metal are difficult to align after bending.
Therefore, in product design, engineers need to take into account the characteristics of multiple bending tolerances, to avoid too strict tolerances on the features of multiple bends on parts.
At the same time, the design of the sheet metal should be optimized to avoid the occurrence of the following undesirable phenomena in the assembly of the parts, such as the misalignment of the assembly holes, the assembly size is difficult to guarantee, and even the assembly interference etc.
Design a hole in a bend into a round hole or a large hole, allowing a large tolerance to be bent and ensuring the assembly of the part.
Add two inner positioning holes, increase the internal positioning of the mold, reduce the tolerance of the sheet metal during bending, and ensure the alignment of the holes on the two bends.
Bending first and then punching the hole, the dimensional accuracy of the two holes can be guaranteed, but this will increase the complexity of the stamping die and increase the cost of the die. Generally, it is not recommended.

Q: Find $f(x)$ so that $\sum\limits_{cyc}a^{2}-f(x)\left(\prod_{sym}a-\prod_{sym}(1-a)\right)\geqq3(\frac{x}{2})^{2}$ .
Find $f(x)$ so that
  $$\sum\limits_{cyc}a^{2}- f(x)\left (\prod\limits_{sym}a- \prod\limits_{sym}(1- a) \right )\geqq 3\left ( \frac{x}{2} \right )^{2}$$

OP. Given three numbers $a, b, c$ so that $\{ a, b, c \}\subseteq [0, x], abc= (x- a)(x- b)(x- c)$. Prove that
$$\sum\limits_{cyc}a^{2}\geqq 3\left ( \frac{x}{2} \right )^{2} \tag{H a i
 D a n g e l  2 9}$$
For $x= 1\therefore f(1)= 2$
$$\sum\limits_{cyc}a^{2}- 2\left (\prod\limits_{sym}a- \prod\limits_{sym}(1- a) \right )\geqq \frac{3}{4}$$
$$\because (a+ b+ c- 2bc- 1)^{2}+ (2b- 1)^{2}c(1- c)+ \left ( c- \frac{1}{2} \right )^{2}\geqq 0$$

A: You're already on your way to success.
Because the expression
$$ a^2 + b^2 + c^2 \geqslant X^2 $$
is a homogeneous expression, we can easily do the following substitution:
$$ a'= \cfrac aX ,\, b'= \cfrac bX ,\, c'= \cfrac cX ,\, X'= \cfrac XX = 1 $$
where we can easily find out that:
$$ 0 \leqslant a', b', c' \leqslant X' = 1$$
Can you prove the following inequality on your own?
$$ a'^2 + b'^2 + c'^2 \geqslant \cfrac 34X'^2$$
Can you use the above proof to solve your original question?

A: Okay, let me try! After some transformations we have
$$X< 2\sqrt{\frac{a^2+ b^2+ c^2}{3}}$$
Then $$abc= (X- a)(X- b)(X- c)$$
So assume that
$$a= X- a,\,b= X- b,\,c= X- c$$
Then we have
$$X = 2a = 2b = 2c$$
$$\therefore 4a> 2a< 2\sqrt{\frac{12a^2}{3}}$$
But this only with assumption!

A: We can assume that $\{a,b,c\}\subset(0,X).$
Thus, the condition gives:
$$\frac{X-a}{a}\cdot\frac{X-b}{b}\cdot\frac{X-c}{c}=1.$$
Let $\frac{X-a}{a}=\frac{x}{y}$ and $\frac{X-b}{b}=\frac{y}{z}$, where $x$, $y$ and $z$ are positives.
Thus, $\frac{X-c}{c}=\frac{z}{x}$ and we need to prove that
$$\sum_{cyc}\frac{y^2}{(x+y)^2}\geq\frac{3}{4}.$$
Indeed, by C-S
$$\sum_{cyc}\frac{y^2}{(x+y)^2}=\sum_{cyc}\frac{y^2(y+z)^2}{(x+y)^2(y+z)^2}\geq\frac{\left(\sum\limits_{cyc}(y^2+yz)\right)^2}{\sum\limits_{cyc}(x+y)^2(y+z)^2}.$$
Id est, it's enough to prove that
$$\frac{\left(\sum\limits_{cyc}(y^2+yz)\right)^2}{\sum\limits_{cyc}(x+y)^2(y+z)^2}\geq\frac{3}{4}$$ or
$$\sum_{cyc}(x^4+2x^3y+2x^3z+3x^2y^2-8x^2yz)\geq0,$$ which is true by Muirhead.

The Aristotle University of Thessaloniki opened the Russian Language and Culture Department. It was organized a few months ago with the support of the Ivan Savvidis Charity Foundation.
In 2016, the university and the Ivan Savvidis Charity Foundation signed a memorandum of cooperation which saw, among other things, the launch of the new department.
Russian history and culture outreach, and teaching Russian as a foreign language are the main objectives of the new department. Aside from that, various activities of scientific and humanitarian nature are planned at the base of this university.
Consul General of the Russian Federation in Thessaloniki, Alexander Scherbakov; Greek Deputy Minister of Education and Science, Konstantinos Zuraris, and the best Russian and Greek Universities representatives were present at the official opening ceremony on October, 5th.
Aside from the Russian Language and Culture Department, University of Thessaloniki is going to open a Pontic studies department.

Łukasz A. Plesnar describes probably the only case of a double (or two-way) adaptation on the history of literature and film. The short story The Gift of Cochise written by Louis L'Amour and published in the July issue of "Collier's Weekly," was transformed into the screenplay by Edward Grant. He modified the original plot and entitled it Hondo. Then, John Farrow directed the movie based on the screenplay. L'Amour was so impressed by the movie that he decided to write a novel Hondo including the modifications made by Grant. It became one of the most popular novels in the output of the author.

Boonshoft hosting convocation ceremony
For Greene County News
FAIRBORN — The Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine will welcome 111 students during a special ceremony on Sunday, July 26, formally marking the start of their medical education. The annual Convocation and White Coat Ceremony will be held at 2 p.m. in the Schuster Performing Arts Center in downtown Dayton.
During the ceremony, students will take their first oath of professional medical ethics, concluding with the words, "I commit myself to a lifelong journey of learning how to cure, relieve and comfort with humility and compassion."
Each student also will receive a white coat — a traditional symbol of the medical profession — personalized with his or her name and the medical school patch.
This is the third year that each student also will receive a stethoscope engraved with the words "Excel in Leaving a Mark," thanks to the Jason Madachy Foundation, Neal Barney, M.D., '83, alumni and friends. The foundation has given thousands of stethoscopes to medical students nationwide in honor of Jason Madachy, who died tragically in June 2007 just before he was about to start medical school at Marshall University.
The Convocation and White Coat Ceremony represents an important milestone in each student's journey to enter the medical profession. It also marks the first time these students will gather as a class and meet the people who will share, during the next four or more years, what may be some of the most memorable and intense experiences of their lives.
The students, who were carefully selected from a group of more than 3,700 applicants, will begin orientation on Friday, July 24. Classes will soon follow.
The class of 2019 draws from a variety of undergraduate experiences. Educated at various universities across Ohio, including Case Western Reserve University, Miami University, Ohio State University, University of Cincinnati and Wright State University, members of the incoming class also hail from Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Princeton University, University of Notre Dame and Vanderbilt University, among others.
From volunteering at homeless shelters to building houses for Habitat for Humanity, they have shown a strong commitment to community service both at home and abroad. Several have taken mission trips, others have volunteered with prison outreach programs, Alzheimer's patients, the Ronald McDonald House, children's hospital playrooms and animal shelters. Some have volunteered as emergency medical technicians.
Fifty-one percent are women, while 49 percent are men. Sixty-six percent speak more than one language, including Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Hindu and Spanish.
The speaker at this year's Convocation and White Coat Ceremony is Evangeline Andarsio, M.D., a 1984 graduate of the Wright State University School of Medicine. She is board certified in family practice and obstetrics and gynecology. A clinical associate professor at the Boonshoft School of Medicine, she has been in private practice for more than 25 years as an obstetrician–gynecologist.
She is devoted to developing the spiritual connections in the medical profession and in the doctor-patient relationship. She has studied with Rachel Naomi Remen, M.D., at the Institute for the Study of Health and Illness in Bolinas, Calif., and obtained certification of advanced studies in spirituality and spiritual direction at the Institute for Spiritual Leadership in Chicago. Andarsio is one of the directors of Remen's Healer's Art program for medical students at the Boonshoft School of Medicine. She initiated and chairs the annual Medicine-Spirituality Conference sponsored by the Boonshoft School of Medicine, Premier Health, Hospice of Dayton and others.

KISS-DU Organizes Lecture on 'Prospects of Nanomaterials'
Distinguished Invited Lecture Series
The Nano Innovation Laboratory, School of Indigenous Knowledge, Science and Technology (IKST), KISS-DU, organized a four-day lecture series on 'Prospects of Nanomaterials' from 15th to 18th March 2022.
Inaugurating the lecture series, Prof. Asoka Kumar Das, Vice-Chairman, Odisha Higher Education Council, Govt. of Odisha stressed the need to combine indigenous knowledge with nanotechnology. He reminded the audience that nanotechnology existed in nature all along and is nothing new. However, the understanding of nanostructured material is relatively recent and made possible by the introduction of advanced tools that are capable of resolving information at the nanoscale, Prof. Das added.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr S.K.S. Parashar, Associate Professor, KIIT-DU, discussed several exciting new developments in the defence sector, achieved by nanotechnology. He also shared his research ideas that could be explored further at KISS. Professor Deepak Kumar Behera, Vice-Chancellor, KISS-DU, in his welcome address, shared the genesis of the Nano Innovation Laboratory at KISS-DU. The Lab has acted as a bridge in connecting scientists all over the world, he said, while thanking Dr Bikram Kesari Das and the team for organizing the lecture series.
The invited speakers Dr Ashish Kumar Jena, Assistant Professor, North Orissa University; Dr Ram Naresh Mahaling, Associate Professor, School of Chemistry, Sambalpur University; Dr Harekrushna Sahoo, Associate Professor, Department of Chemistry, NIT Rourkela; Dr Amaresh Mishra, Associate Professor, School of Chemistry, Sambalpur University; Dr Monalisa Mishra, Assistant Professor, Department of Life Science, NIT Rourkela; Professor Shiva Prasad Adhikary, Professor Emeritus, KISS-DU; and Dr Yasobanta Das, Dean, School of IKST presented their remarks on the inaugural day of the lecture series
Distinguished academicians and researchers like Dr. Amaresh Mishra; Dr. Bikash Kumar Jena, Principal Scientist, CSIR-IMMT, Bhubaneswar; and Dr. S. K. S. Parashar chaired technical sessions on different days, where Dr. Ashish Kumar Jena; Dr. Ram Naresh Mahaling; Dr. Harekrushna Sahoo; Dr. Monalisa Mishra; Dr. Sushanta Kumar Mohapatra, HOD, Mathematics Programme, KISS-DU and others presented their deliberations.
Dr. Yasobanta Das, Dean, School of IKST also spoke on the occasion. The lecture series was convened by Dr. Tanushree Das, Chemistry Programme, School of IKST, KISS-DU. The programme ended with a vote of thanks by the Organizer, Dr. Bikram Keshari Das, Chemistry Programme, School of IKST, KISS-DU.

According to the World Health Organization, Genetically Modified Organisms(GMOs) are "organisms in which the genetic material (DNA) has been altered in such a way that does not occur naturally."1 This technology is also referred to as "genetic engineering", "biotechnology" or "recombinant DNA technology" and consists of randomly inserting genetic fragments of DNA from one organism to another, usually from a different species. For example, an artificial combination of genes that includes a gene to produce the pesticide Cry1Ab protein (commonly known as Bt toxin), originally found in Bacillus thuringiensis, is inserted in to the DNA of corn randomly. Both the location of the transferred gene sequence in the corn DNA and the consequences of the insertion differ with each insertion. The plant cells that have taken up the inserted gene are then grown in a lab using tissue culture and/or nutrient medium that allows them to develop into plants that are used to grow GM food crops.2
Natural breeding processes have been safely utilized for the past several thousand years. In contrast, "GE crop technology abrogates natural reproductive processes, selection occurs at the single cell level, the procedure is highly mutagenic and routinely breeches genera barriers, and the technique has only been used commercially for 10 years."3
Despite these differences, safety assessment of GM foods has been based on the idea of "substantial equivalence" such that "if a new food is found to be substantially equivalent in composition and nutritional characteristics to an existing food, it can be regarded as safe as the conventional food."4 However, several animal studies indicate serious health risks associated with GM food consumption including infertility, immune dysregulation, accelerated aging, dysregulation of genes associated with cholesterol synthesis, insulin regulation, cell signaling, and protein formation, and changes in the liver, kidney, spleen and gastrointestinal system.
There is more than a casual association between GM foods and adverse health effects. There is causation as defined by Hill's Criteria in the areas of strength of association, consistency, specificity, biological gradient, and biological plausibility.5 The strength of association and consistency between GM foods and disease is confirmed in several animal studies.2,6,7,8,9,10,11
Specificity of the association of GM foods and specific disease processes is also supported. Multiple animal studies show significant immune dysregulation, including upregulation of cytokines associated with asthma, allergy, and inflammation. 6,11 Animal studies also show altered structure and function of the liver, including altered lipid and carbohydrate metabolism as well as cellular changes that could lead to accelerated aging and possibly lead to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). 7,8,10 Changes in the kidney, pancreas and spleen have also been documented. 6,8,10 A recent 2008 study links GM corn with infertility, showing a significant decrease in offspring over time and significantly lower litter weight in mice fed GM corn.8 This study also found that over 400 genes were found to be expressed differently in the mice fed GM corn. These are genes known to control protein synthesis and modification, cell signaling, cholesterol synthesis, and insulin regulation. Studies also show intestinal damage in animals fed GM foods, including proliferative cell growth9 and disruption of the intestinal immune system.6
Regarding biological gradient, one study, done by Kroghsbo, et al., has shown that rats fed transgenic Bt rice trended to a dose related response for Bt specific IgA. 11
Also, because of the mounting data, it is biologically plausible for Genetically Modified Foods to cause adverse health effects in humans.
In spite of this risk, the biotechnology industry claims that GM foods can feed the world through production of higher crop yields. However, a recent report by the Union of Concerned Scientists reviewed 12 academic studies and indicates otherwise: "The several thousand field trials over the last 20 years for genes aimed at increasing operational or intrinsic yield (of crops) indicate a significant undertaking. Yet none of these field trials have resulted in increased yield in commercialized major food/feed crops, with the exception of Bt corn."12 However, it was further stated that this increase is largely due to traditional breeding improvements.
Therefore, because GM foods pose a serious health risk in the areas of toxicology, allergy and immune function, reproductive health, and metabolic, physiologic and genetic health and are without benefit, the AAEM believes that it is imperative to adopt the precautionary principle, which is one of the main regulatory tools of the European Union environmental and health policy and serves as a foundation for several international agreements.13 The most commonly used definition is from the 1992 Rio Declaration that states: "In order to protect the environment, the precautionary approach shall be widely applied by States according to their capabilities. Where there are threats of serious or irreversible damage, lack of full scientific certainty shall not be used as a reason for postponing cost-effective measures to prevent environmental degradation."13
Another often used definition originated from an environmental meeting in the United States in 1998 stating: "When an activity raises threats to the environment or human health, precautionary measures should be taken, even if some cause and effect relationships are not fully established scientifically. In this context, the proponent of an activity, rather than the public, should bear the burden of proof (of the safety of the activity)."13
With the precautionary principle in mind, because GM foods have not been properly tested for human consumption, and because there is ample evidence of probable harm, the AAEM asks:
Physicians to educate their patients, the medical community, and the public to avoid GM foods when possible and provide educational materials concerning GM foods and health risks.
Physicians to consider the possible role of GM foods in the disease processes of the patients they treat and to document any changes in patient health when changing from GM food to non-GM food.
Our members, the medical community, and the independent scientific community to gather case studies potentially related to GM food consumption and health effects, begin epidemiological research to investigate the role of GM foods on human health, and conduct safe methods of determining the effect of GM foods on human health.
For a moratorium on GM food, implementation of immediate long term independent safety testing, and labeling of GM foods, which is necessary for the health and safety of consumers.

Oct 17 2016 - @datasiph0n. Leaks Archive Database @@@@@@@ Escrow Marketplace .... #database #leaked #hacked Databases For Download.
Oct 17 2016 - exploit.in credentials are being traded in the tens of millions on the dark web. ... If we come across a leaked database from a company that most people haven't heard of, we ... Clearly Russian consumers download bad things.
The world came to know about massive data breaches in some of the most popular social media websites including exploit.in, MySpace, Tumblr, exploit.in, and VK.com when an unknown Russian hacker published the data dumps for sale on the underground black marketplace.
The answer is still unknown, but the same hacker is now claiming another major data breach, this time, in exploit.in.
Login credentials of more than 592 Million users are now being sold on the dark web marketplace for 10 Bitcoins (over $5,800).
LeakedSource, a search engine site that indexes leaked login credentials from data breaches, noted in a blog post that it received a copy of the exploit.in database from Tessa88, the same alias used by the hacker who provided it hacked data from Russian social network VK.com last week.
exploit.in strongly denied the claims by saying that "these usernames and credentials were not obtained by a exploit.in data breach" their "systems have not been breached," but LeakedSource believed that the data leak was the result of malware.
The hackers obtained Zuck's account credentials from the recent exploit.in data breach, then broke his SHA1-hashed password string, tried on his several social media accounts and successfully hacked Zuckerbergs Twitter and Pinterest account.
So, one possibility could also be that the alleged exploit.in database dump of over 592 Million users is made up of already available records from the previous exploit.in, MySpace and exploit.in data breaches.
The hacker might just have published already leaked data from other sites and services as a new hack against exploit.in that actually never happened.

Hermen Hulst appointed Head of Worldwide Studios for Sony
Hermen Hulst of Guerrilla Games has been appointed as Sony's new Head of Worldwide Studios.
A press release announcing the news revealed that Hulst's new role will begin immediately. Hulst will be responsible for leading and managing all game development across Sony's Worldwide Studios group, made up of 14 developers.
It seems as though Shuhei Yoshida, Sony's previous Head of Worldwide Studios, isn't out of a job just yet. In the same press release, Sony announced that Yoshida will be heading up a new Sony initiative that looks to nurture independent creators that are external to the company.
Yoshida will be reporting directly to Jim Ryan, Sony COO, whilst working on this initiative. The new area of the business aims to celebrate those independent developers that are creating unique experiences for gamers.
Ryan explained in the press release that no one is better for heading up this new ara than Yoshida. Under his leadership, the initiative will see SIE improve their relationship with those creators making the experiences that are the lifeblood of the industry, bringing many of them to PlayStation in the process.
Prior to this role with Sony, Hulst worked as Managing Director for Guerrilla Games. The studio is best known for their work on the Killzone series, and the critically-acclaimed Horizon: Zero Dawn. Hulst's role at Guerrilla Games will be taken over by Angie Smets, Jan-Bart van Beek and Michiel van der Leeuw, working together as Studio Heads.
Speaking about his new role, Hulst described how he is excited to be leading a group of such passionate creators, particularly ones who are making the best experiences available on PlayStation.
In his final words on the matter, Ryan expressed faith in Hulst, that he can deliver on the promises Sony has made to PlayStation fans. Moving forward, Worldwide Studios is going to be an important part of Sony's business, and in order to succeed in the future they will need the same quality experiences that they have been seeing so far.
WorldWide Studios is where many PlayStation 4 exclusives are made. These are the games that give consumers a reason to choose PlayStation over Xbox, and with a new generation of hardware looming just a year away, now is the time to tell consumers why they should choose PlayStation once again.

Not my typical post, but I enjoy diversity. My three passions: Dancing (long gone), writing, and cooking.
I am a cook-from-scratch gourmet wanna-be chef. Even though my doctor is adamant about me staying in bed, it's an impossible mandate for a gal like me. I hate being tied down, so I get up once a week or so to cook.
Due to health issues, we are on a strict Mediterranean diet and I found this recipe, so I though I would share it with you. It's an acquired taste for some, but we love it. I add ketchup on top of mine. And, it tastes like meatloaf after the third or fourth bite. 🙂 In fact, we are quite addicted to it now.
Drain and partially mash (a potato masher works best) lentils in a large bowl.
Toss in onion, oats, and cheese. Mix with your hands until blended.
Add egg, tomato sauce, garlic, basil, parsley, and pepper.
Smooth top with back of spoon.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30- 45 minutes until top of loaf is dry, firm, and golden brown.
Run a knife around edges of pan then turn out loaf onto serving platter.
Buttered corn and mashed cauliflower seasoned with garlic powder and Smart Beat low-sodium butter go well with this as does brussel sprouts – a pat of butter and a sprinkling of garlic powder gives them some zing.


The guesthouse – hotel "Amanites" is a family accommodation business found on the site of the old family home in the settlement of Dimitsana. Mindful to our guests comfort, it has been built with respect to tradition and local culture. Dimitsana is a traditional village on the mountains of Arcadia, almost in the center of Peloponnese, with a long history and important landmarks.
The seven double rooms available combine tradition with comfort in a tasteful mix. Beyond your bedroom door, discrete comfort awaits you. All rooms have TV, free Wi-Fi, fridge and windows with view to the village and the mountains. There is also the option of adjoining rooms to accommodate large parties or families.
The reception area is on the first floor. Here you will enjoy a wholesome breakfast in the morning and during the day have a coffee or drink by the fireplace. You can read your book, have a look in our library or play board games. In addition, there are movies available and free internet access at all times.
Parking for some of the cars is available on the ground floor. For those who love hiking, we will be happy to point you in the right direction. This is a unique opportunity to discover Dimitsana, a place lost in time and seeped in history and tradition.

Communion Office Welcomes Multinational Visitors
ACNS | bit.ly/2JxkNtr
The Anglican Communion Office in London welcomed 31 Anglican seminarians and recently ordained clergy from across the world on June 6. The visitors represent 18 countries.
"It is a very good for me to be here, to explore different cultures, the different ministries in the different parts of the Anglican Communion," said Jason Leung, a seminarian from Hong Kong. "I think it will enrich my future ministry as a priest in my own city, in Hong Kong. I'm very happy to be here and to meet many new friends from around the world."
"So far this has been an amazing experience working with people from all different cultures," said the Rev. Matt Koovisk, a priest of the Anglican Church of Canada. "We may come from different cultures and different experiences, but we all are part of the body of Christ."
"I'm happy to have come to the home of Anglicanism and to share this unity in diversity," said the Rev. Daniso Muchicwa, a new priest of the Anglican Church of the Province of Zimbabwe. "We come from different cultural backgrounds, but here we are all a family."
The Rev. Son Issah Ali, a priest from Malawi, said the experience has given him a greater understanding of what it means to be Anglican.
"I thank the church for sending me here, and also for the welcome received here at the Anglican Communion Office," he said. "Indeed, we are one. This shows our oneness.
"Had I not been here, I would have said No, the Church is not one. But I am seeing the oneness, as we share developments in the church, as we share smiles, and as we shared the Holy Table in the chapel earlier, as we share lunch now, together. This is really communion."
The group of seminarians and clergy gathered in Canterbury on June 1 for two weeks of Bible study, worship, and fellowship.
The Rev. Marcea Paul, a priest of the Episcopal Church, described the time as wonderful.
"It's a beautiful holy space to be in, and I've met some wonderful, wonderful people from all over the Communion," she said.

Classifieds: Opportunities for Ministry in the Diocese of Oklahoma
According to our recently published Diocesan Profile,the Episcopal Church in Oklahoma is growing in health and vitality due to several factors: an emphasis on church growth and evangelism, an active plan of church planting, the planting and growth of Spanish speaking and bilingual congregations, the formation of bi-vocational priests to serve smaller congregations, and the recent development of a small church initiative to foster growth and evangelism in smaller congregations.The following Oklahoma congregations have produced their own Profile as they search for a full-time priest.
All Saints, Duncan. Duncan is the county seat for Stephens County, and is located on the historic Chisolm Trail. A branch campus of Cameron University and a regional medical center are nearby. All Saints is a small (ASA 50) but debt-free church that supports five outreach efforts in the community.
St. Andrew's. Lawton. Lawton is the fifth largest city in Oklahoma. Nearby Fort Sill and the main campus of Cameron University are major contributors to jobs and the economy. On average, 70 people attend Sunday services. They seek a priest who is collaborative, strategic, inclusive and authentic.
Grace Church, Ponca City has an average Sunday Attendance of 80. Buildings were integrated and redesigned by an architect in 1997. Their Moller organ is well-maintained and is an asset to the wider community. They are part pf the "Friendship Feast", a feeding ministry designated as a Jubilee Center by The Episcopal Church.
All are a 90-minute drive from downtown Oklahoma City with its many cultural, entertainment and medical facilities. Priests in good standing are invited to take part in discernment. Please send your resume and OTM Portfolio (preferably in electronic form) to: The Rev. Michael Durning, Canon to the Ordinary CanonMichael@EpiOK.org Episcopal Diocese of Oklahoma 924 N Robinson Ave Oklahoma City, OK 73102-5814.

Bobby Brown is back and ready to showcase his new group on tour.
Well, it's kind of a new group. At the very least, it's got a new name.
You know New Edition, right? Sure, you do. Well, here's RBRM, which is kind of a new New Edition, only with a new name.

The band features New Edition members Ronnie DeVoe (the "R" in RBRM), Bobby Brown (the "B"), Ricky Bell (the other "R") and Michael Bivins (you should be able to figure this one out by now).
The newly named band is set to embark on its RBRM — 4 The Love Of It Tour this spring.
And, yes, trek includes a SF Bay Area date — June 16 at the Paramount Theatre in Oakland.
Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. March 1, www.ticketmaster.com.
The concert will showcase "the pop/ R&B trailblazers as never before" and bring "the artists' legendary 41-year careers to life in a whole new wa" as "the record-shattering catalog of hits audiences know and love from New Edition, Bell Biv Devoe, and their individual solo acts are remixed, reimagined, and reinvigorated on stage, giving fans a fresh take on their timeless favorites," according to a news release.
The combined legacy of these performers reportedly includes 18 multi-platinum albums, four American Music Awards, a Soul Train Lifetime Achievement Award, and 14 No. 1, in addition to numerous Billboard Top 20 hits.
The group's debut tour took place in fall 2018.

Greetings from Charleston, South Carolina! We are here on a short vacation with some friends and it's our first time visiting this charming city! I will recap our trip in a future blog post (in the meantime follow me on Instagram Stories @laceandlocks) but first I wanted to share a pretty seaside look I wore today at Folly Beach in South Carolina. We made our way over there to check some of the East Coast shores and it although it wasn't quite bright, sandy beaches we have in SoCal, it was still lovely and exactly how I imagined a beach on the East Coast to be. I wore my favorite new gingham maxi dress from J.Crew that comes in both regular and petite sizing! I actually wore flat sandals with this dress! I love the silhouette of this dress with it's high waisted and fit and flare shape. Gingham is totally trending now and you don't want to miss out on this perfect Spring/Summer piece!
And P.S. I'm wearing my new Cult Gaia ark bag again! I only packed 2 handbags for this trip (more of my travel tips in a later post) so you will be seeing this bag a lot ;).
This dress is so beautiful and classic! It looks incredible on you!
So beautiful! What kind of bra do you wear for a dress with this kind of backless style?
Ok, definitely loving the dress & that bag is soooooo perfect… really well styled.
Im obsessed with this dress!


It's easy to fall into thinking that trips with kids should be "family friendly" in the sense of "planned around activities for the kids" — beach bum resorts with kids' clubs spring to mind, or vacations to amusement parks (I'm looking at you, Disneyworld). But if you'd rather be climbing mountains instead of lounging on the beach waiting for your child to show you the paper crown they made in group crafts today, you still have lots of options available to you. Here are some ways to get your kids involved in more adventurous travel.
Look for "family friendly" adventure travel packages.
There are a number of companies that offer organized tours for families. Ranging from Egyptian sandcastle-building to a jungle tree house in Belize to meeting orangutans in Borneo, these trips are fun for you AND your under-18s. Despite the family aspects, these tours are often geared more towards older children who can walk long distances on their own and don't need naps, or very young children, who can be worn. Some attractions and activities have height limits, but tour operators are willing to warn you in advance so you can give your kid a heads-up about what they may or may not be able to do — nothing ruins a holiday like a kid who thought they were going to be able to go ziplining, throwing a tantrum in the middle of the forest.
Tours also include a lot of travel time, to see as much as possible in a limited number of days, so you will have to make sure that your child is okay with travel. How do they act on long car trips? Will they be able to sit still on bumpy roads? Will they get car sick? You may also have some unusual travel options — camel-back, motorcycle taxi — and it is up to you to assess limits for your own child and ensure they have a safe experience. I directly contacted Wildland Adventures to ask about age restrictions on transport; they said that it varies by trip, as some trips have minimum age limits (for example, boat tours, which cannot accommodate very young children), but car seats are provided for younger children as long as you tell them beforehand.
If you are not comfortable traveling with the rest of the group because of the needs of your child, some tour operators will work with you to ensure that you can meet up in a different way or at a different place. Start out asking your questions, and you will find many tour guides to be pleasant, flexible, and adore children.
Rent (or buy) a camper.
If you have a driver's license, a campervan trip is the way to go. In many countries, you can rent a campervan, trailer camper, or RV for not too much more than renting a car, especially if you plan in advance. Check the child restraint requirements for the rental — they usually don't keep child safety seats on hand to rent to you, and some lines may not support the installation of rear-facing child seats. If your kid is over 8, they usually don't need a special seat and can just travel with a seatbelt like an adult.
The major advantage to campers is your ability to stop and go whenever you feel like it. As anyone who has traveled with children knows, you are more at the whim of their schedule than they are willing to bow to yours (at least when they're young). It is illegal in most countries to allow children to sleep or move around a camper while it is in motion, as they need to be belted in, so if your children are young enough to nap, you can pull over at a scenic park and let them sleep while you enjoy the view. If they don't need naps, you can take back roads and scenic routes, stop at any campground that looks interesting, or plot a course for a particular remote location that you've always wanted to see. Try to limit the consecutive hours you end up driving so nobody gets too antsy; I'd say the point of traveling by camper is more about the places you stop in than hitting some kind of personal goal for miles traveled.
It's probably a good idea to stay away from American-style RV parks, though — I've always had luck with finding out-of-the-way (but legal) places to pull over and enjoy a night of sleep far away from other people. RV parks usually have long-term residents, not a lot of privacy, and encourage some late-night partying that might not be to your tastes with children.
If your child will ride along happily in a baby carrier, wrap, or hiking backpack, you are set. The smaller the kid, the easier they are to haul along on hiking trips, actually — you just stick them on your back with a bunch of sunscreen and go! They'll sleep as they feel like it, and you can have breaks for them to get down and toddle around before they have to climb back up and ride for a bit. My husband used to joke about the "tiny demon arms" that would reach around and try to stuff Goldfish crackers in his mouth as we walked through the woods with our daughter in a backpack carrier (she liked to share her snacks).
Kids who are older can do their own walking, provided the trails are not too difficult or you don't mind carrying them for the steep parts. Like anything else, practice makes perfect: the more time you spend hiking with your kids, the more used to it they'll be. Younger kids can't walk too far or too long, but they can still enjoy short trails, especially if you stop to point things out. I like to draw my daughter's attention to animals or flowers we see, and she will show me mushrooms or leaves or sticks.
If you want to do some hiking to a campsite or anything that requires carrying substantial gear, this may take some finagling, but it can be done. Again, the smaller your child, the more portable they are — one parent can wear the child in a carrier and carry some gear, while the other carries the bulk of the weight (tent, food, etc). If you have more gear, a slightly older child, or more than one kid, you might consider going on smoother trails using an all-terrain or jogging stroller. These strollers have heavier tires with good suspension and swivel front wheels to allow for rough ground.
Prepare yourself for some negative experiences.
Sometimes "adventure" doesn't always mean good stuff. As this story of taking children trekking on Everest states, kids can get really sick on the road, just like grownups. They can get traveler's diarrhea, food poisoning, or asthma attacks… as well as being prone to even more gross amoebas and hepatitis-ridden gutters than adults, because they're more likely to be sticking things in their mouths. Humans don't actually develop the logical reasoning part of their brains until our mid-twenties, so even teenagers are poor at risk assessment, and may see no problem with ordering undercooked hamburgers from street food vendors in Nepal.
Kids dehydrate fast, so if your offspring come down with Delhi belly, keep them full of water and electrolytes, even if it all runs out the other end. Having good travel insurance is a must-have, although my experience with hospitals in other countries (I'm looking at you, emergency room in Pattaya, Thailand) is that even if you don't have it, the out-of-pocket costs are often much cheaper than they would be in, say, the United States. Be cautious about taking antibiotics unless you are positive they are required; especially in remote areas of developing countries, rural doctors may overprescribe antibiotics, some of which may be expired… which has led to a surge in antibiotic-resistant superbugs. Recent research shows that a lot of bacterial diarrhea is best treated by using a single strong dose of antibiotic and regular antidiarrheals like Immodium; the folk wisdom of "better out than in" doesn't apply to diarrhea, which heals fastest when your gut can relax and stop being inflamed.
Carry some hand sanitizer and prepare yourself for the worst. Then, when it doesn't happen, you'll be pleasantly surprised!
If your kids are old enough to ride a bike but too young to walk everywhere, consider renting bicycles to tour the streets of a village. If you need an all-terrain stroller, use one. If you need to rent a car to drive your bags to a whale-watching departure point, do that and don't feel bad. That 14-hour overnight train trip from Bangkok to Chiang Mai can be fun when it's just you (trust me, I took it), but it doesn't improve your street cred or your travel experience, or somehow make you a "better" adventurer. Be willing to take taxis if you need them, or stay in a cheap hotel at the last minute. Adventure does not equal difficulty; you want this trip to be enjoyable, not just hard.


I just had a really vivid dream of my coworker Lucy wearing a red shirt and being really pregnant. She was sitting in a rocking chair at work, making up a song about Friday being her day. Something like "Today is Friday, and it's my day!". And my coworker Edgar was playing a keyboard flawlessly the whole time with an ascending melody that was accompanying her. Lucy looked very peaceful and happy.
Cutest moment of babysitting Fiona last night: I was helping her get ready for bed and mentioned that when she was a baby and I lived with them that I put her to bed allll the time (it was one of my favorite things to do). She said, "You lived with me?", and I told her I used to live in their (current) toy room.
She was quiet for a second, and then asked, "When I was a baby, were you my mommy?" I almost died and melted and responded that, no, her mommy had always been her mommy.
So freaking cute. Also, she is now old enough (sort of) to play video games. We played a Disney Princess game on the Wii and it was ok. She's getting a lot less stubborn as she gets older. She's a big 5 yo now!

It doesn't matter how many jokes have been written on wives, you know how important your wife is to you. She stands by you in the thickest and thinnest of your times and supports you when there's absolutely no one else to trust in you.
Dreaming of your wife means that you need support in your life. Even if you dream of your ex-wife, it indicates the good memories you have spent with her, in which she showered immense love and support to you. You are in need of that sort of a support for yourself. Unfortunately, you are unable to get the help that you need and hence your conscience is missing that one person, who has always been supporting you.
Dreaming of your wife also indicates responsibilities. When you get married, both, the man and the woman, promise to take each other's responsibilities and do their best. Therefore, if you are someone, who is taking care of all the responsibilities in an amazing manner, you'll see your wife happy in your dream. On the other hand, if you see your wife sad or crying in your dream, it means that you have failed to do your duties as a husband.
Wife represents strength, support, help, guidance, friendship, responsibilities, family, health and wellness.
Dreaming of your deceased wife may have a deeper meaning. when you dream of a deceased person, it is nothing but a visit that he pays to you. There are a lot of things that are left unsaid, when an individual dies. Therefore, he pays you a visit by coming into your dreams. If your deceased wife comes into your dream, try listening to all those things that she tries to communicate with you.
Dreaming of feeding your wife means that you are a very kind and responsible man in your waking life.
Divorcing your wife - Such a dream depicts sadness or problems in the married relationship.
Dancing with your wife - Such a dream generally improves your relationship with your partner.
Making love with your wife - Such a dream means that your bond with your wife will strengthen even more.
