On a side note, I am not doing the series for CBR's top 10 Marvel and DC characters because that is no undervalued issues there. Rather than wasting your time to hear me say "Next" throughout the entire article, I thought it is better not to write it.
The key to predicting which books will be hot is to see what events will happen in 2016 and 2017. These events are usually the sparks needed to catalyst an increase in demand. With these in mind, these are the silver age books that I think still has plenty of room to grow, along with their exact numbers for growth.
I first mention this book more than a year ago when I talked about undervalued pre 1965 silver age comics. If you bought this book then, you will have already enjoy some nice gains.
In 2016, I foresee there will be a confirmation of the Dark Universe movie after the success of Batman vs Superman. Zatanna will of course be one of the key members. That will lead to a rush for this book and given its limited supply, will result in a nice price appreciation.
The ceiling for this issue can be benchmarked using X-Men #4. Both books are produced in 1964 and both contains the first appearance of a female character. However, do note that Zatanna is more popular given her #23 ranking in the DC list of the recent CBR poll relative to Scarlet Witch's #34 position in the Marvel list.
The only thing this book do not have is a nice book. It is on par with the likes of Strange Tales #110, Iron Man #55 etc for having the worst first appearance covers.
The table has shown how undervalued Hawkman #4 is, doesn't it? It has less supply in the census but is so much cheaper than X-Men #4. The good thing about the undervaluation is that it is universal across all grades. So, even if you are a budget investor, you can still buy a 4.0 and expect to at least double your money in 2016 when the news hits.
If you have more funds, getting mid to high grades will generate even better returns. My feeling is that due to the supply issue, the prices for Hawkman #4 may even exceed X-Men #4, which means the returns will be higher than what is projected here.
Definitely a key silver age book to watch in 2016.
Aquaman #11 is a book that I talked about when I was discussing undervalued Aquaman issues. It has increased somewhat since that time but the increase is not as strong as Aquaman #29 so there will be room to grow. In fact, there is lots of room IMHO, especially when casting is announced near the end of 2016, similar to how the cast of Wonder Woman has been made known in 2015 even though the movie is scheduled for 2017.
For this book, I am using Tales to Astonish #44 as the benchmark since they are produced within the same year. Both characters are also the leading ladies for their respective movies so I think it is a fair comparison.
The scary thing about this book's potential is its low census count as it is even lower than both Hawkman #4 and Tales to Astonish #44. Part of the reason is probably due to a lack of incentives to slab but with prices so high, it is hard to imagine that this is the complete explanation. Another contributing factor should be the difficulty of finding this book in any presentable condition. Since I have started noticing this book in 2014, the number of graded copies in 7.0 condition coming up for sale on Ebay is few and far in between.
So we know the supply is limited, what about demand? With an Aquaman movie in 2018, we need a leading lady and nobody fits that bill better than Mera. She has been heavily involved in the New 52 series and I know some elements of that series will carry over to the movie. What's more, with her power set of water telekinetic, expect to see some cool CG effects from Mera.
Aquaman #11 is the perfect book for a huge price jump when the right conditions are meet. It has a super limited supply and a strong potential for demand surge due to her importance in the Aquaman movie. Buy now!
This is a book that I don't even dare to mention on this blog because it is already so hard to find without my readers trying to compete with me LOL. However, now that the cat is out of the bag, I want to stress why this book is going to see some serious jumps.
First of all, the supply is limited and that is not surprising given that Charlton comics wasn't the best selling titles back in the 60s. Granted, the low census count is probably due to a lack of submissions but I am betting even with the current interest, there wouldn't be a flood of CGC submissions.
Second, according to the CBR's popularity poll, Ted Kord came in at a respectable #31 position, just one slot behind Supergirl. With a movie in development, the character's exposure will only increase in the coming years and lead to more demand for this book.
Since Captain Atom #83 is published in 1966, using Fantastic Four #46 as the benchmark seems ideal as it is also produced in the same year. Looking at the table, it is amazing that both books are around the same price even though supply is much larger for FF #46. This means when demand for Captain Atom #83 reaches the same level as FF #46, the prices will be exponentially higher. In other words, the current prices are very short of where the ceiling can be.
I actually didn't want to put this book here because it is still far away from the Cyborg movie where Metal Men have a chance to appear. However, given the rate it is growing, I thought I better put it here now in case it becomes unattainable in 2018.
Similar to all pre 1965 DC books, it is really scarce in graded copies. This is why prices have been steadily climbing up in recent years. For this book, I can't find a suitable benchmark. Brave and the Bold #28 is too high in statue to be used for Showcase #37. The closest team book that I can find is Brave and the Bold #25, which features the first Suicide Squad. However, that is a 1959 book so supply is even more limited.
The supply on B&B #25 is actually very similar to Aquaman #11 numbers and is the sole reason why it can command such a high price premium. In fact, the total supply is so low that copies in 4.0 are being dragged upwards in pricing as collectors just want a copy in their collection. This will not happen to Showcase #37 as there are more high grade copies for collector to focus on.
So, given this scenario, will Showcase #37 still have room to grow? The answer is yes and that is due to the demand situation. B&B #25 features a Suicide Squad that is remarkable different from what is used in the movie. Despite this, the demand is still good enough to push the book to current prices. For Metal Men, there is no such confusion as this is their undisputed first appearance. There are no alternate teams that use this name so when they appear in the Cyborg movie, Showcase #37 will enjoy the full impact of the spike in demand.
I believe that is enough to pull the prices on this book to be close or slightly lower than B&B #25.
If Zatanna takes off due to the Dark Universe movie confirmation, then Deadman will not be far behind in terms of price gains. The degree of price appreciation will definitely not be in the same league due to the character's popularity and book scarcity but it will rise nevertheless.
A good benchmark to used here is Avengers #57. Both are 1967-68 books and both characters are background types. They are also similar in being able to be intangible LOL.
Similar to Zatanna, Deadman has a much smaller supply in terms of graded copies when compared to the benchmark. Prices however are currently the same for 7.0 and below while 8.0 is cheaper for Strange Adventures #205. This is a sign of undervaluation since books with smaller supply tend to command higher prices in general.
The smaller supply means that when demand spikes, the increase in price will probably be much higher for Strange Adventures #205 when compared to Avengers #57. In fact, I can easily see the CGC 7.0 and below doubling their prices while 8.0 will probably see a USD300 to USD400 increase.
Thor 126 was the first batch of silver age comics I recommended wayyy back in 2013 along with FF45, 46 and 52 as well as Dr Strange #169. Among these comics, Thor 126 experienced the least among of growth due to lack of any confirmed movie roles. This means there is still room to grow, especially in 2016.
The big uncertainty is whether Adam Warlock will be Starlord's father. If he is, then this book will see the same rise as FF46. Unfortunately, that is not a confirmed scenario and this is the risk you have to take.
I am already very happy with these investment as I was buying VF copies of these for USD30-40 in 2013. Any additional increase can only fuel my profits but the potential is there.
A good benchmark for Thor #165 will be Captain America #117. Both 1969 books featuring the first appearance of supporting characters. Whether Adam Warlock is more popular than Falcon is a personal opinion but I rather be more conservative when it comes to investments.
Unlike the Hawkman #4, the gains from this book will come mainly from grades in the 8.0 and higher condition. This is because supply in this grade have a significant difference that will impact on the prices if Adam Warlock was to appear in GOTG #2. The supply issue is due to Thor #165's black cover which makes getting a high grade book more difficult relative to Captain America #117. The census correlates well with this theory as you can look at the numbers above.
Due to the supply difference, I can see prices of 8.0 Thor #165 going beyond the current USD400. The likely price will be in the region of USD600 to USD700 so there is still a nice return to be had.
As I said in the beginning, finding undervalued silver age comics is getting tougher by the years. There isn't many books that are so called sleepers in this age especially for Marvel comics. This is why you can see the list here is slanted more towards DC comics because they aren't as well collected as their Marvel counterparts. However, with the coming of DC's movie empire, we might see this changing real soon.

Since I'm currently enamored with undertale, I've been listening to the soundtrack and remixes of my favorite songs!
I don't have digital art capabilities, but I do have traditional!!
I Honestly have too many favorites, but, my dream team would have to be Banette with a mega stone, a shiny Charizard with a y mega stone, Shiny Greninja, Serperior, Hydreigon, and a Lucario with a mega stone. I love them as a team, since they feel really balanced to me, and their movesets make me feel confident I can take on a team of an equal calibur! Though, out of the eevees, I adore Eevee itself, Umbreon, and thanks to a recent and very saddening picture, I have a new appreciation for Sylveon. I was a little upset they only had one new eeeveelution in X and Y, and it was for a whole new type altogether, but... I'd love a Sylveon if I got it instead of Umbreon, though, I'd be stressed about the flesh ribbons. I'd Ask it if I can gently tie them up higher so they wouldn't get caught in anything and get hurt.

Oticon MyMusic, New Program for Music Lovers with Hearing Loss, Receives CES 2022 Innovation Award Honours
Jan 6, 2022 music
Award nod marks the sixth straight year of CES recognition for Oticon
For the sixth consecutive year, the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) has recognized Oticon for their work in developing life-changing hearing aid technology. Oticon MyMusic, a dedicated music program made to help people with hearing loss rediscover their love of music, has been named a CES 2022 Innovation Awards Honouree in the Software and Mobile Apps category.
"Individuals with hearing loss can once again enjoy their favorite music in all its nuances."
A new feature of Oticon More™ hearing aids, Oticon MyMusic delivers crystal clear sound quality for live and streamed music. Using specially designed music-orientated signal processing strategies, Oticon MyMusic captures the complex dynamics of music. As a result, individuals with hearing loss can once again enjoy their favorite music in all its nuances.
"I have been a professional musician for my entire adult life, so I know excellent sound quality when I hear it," said Bryan Hitt, drummer for REO Speedwagon and user of Oticon More's MyMusic program. "Oticon MyMusic delivers an entirely new music listening experience. Because the program is designed and equalized especially for music, it brings out the best in music. With it, I have confidence that my hearing aids will pick up every note whether I'm at a live concert or streaming music."
Music has a larger dynamic and frequency range than speech. Music also differs widely across instrument types, ensemble and compositional styles. Historically, hearing aids have used the same sound processing for speech as for music, causing some of the musical nuance to be lost. Oticon MyMusic introduces an innovative tailor-made music-oriented signal processing program to capture and preserve music's natural dynamics.
"Oticon MyMusic helps people with hearing loss to hear music clearly and enjoy the music they love," says Thomas Behrens, Chief of Audiology, Oticon. "With this new, ground-breaking program, we are bringing music back to life, fully restoring one of the greatest and most universal aural pleasures for people with hearing loss. We are delighted that the CES awards panel recognize the significance of this hearing aid development and the impact it can have on a person's life."
MyMusic
Oticon MyMusic builds on Oticon's legacy of award-winning product innovation. Just last year, Oticon More™, the world's first hearing aid with an on-board deep neural network (DNN), was named a CES® 2021 Innovation Awards Honouree in the Health & Wellness and Wearable Technologies categories. Trained on 12 million real-life sounds, Oticon More™ processes sound more like the human brain because it learned through experience. This gives people with mild-to-severe hearing loss a more natural representation of sounds that improves speech understanding, reduces listening effort and enables them to remember more of what is being said, even in noisy environments.
Oticon MyMusic is available now. Existing Oticon More™ wearers can have the Oticon MyMusic program added by visiting their hearing care professional.

All the project members are welcome to post news in this blog!
eTwinners debating about "The Future School - School in 2020"
The Tellnet project is now officially over! The project lasted for three years from December 1 2009 to November 30 2012. We are now wrapping things up and submitting our final reports. In the process, we keep putting our latest material and outcoms out on the Tellnet site.
The Tellnet was part of the Key Activity 4 'Dissemination and Exploitation of Results', one of the aims of which being "… to ensure that the results of the LLP are appropriately recognised, demonstrated and implemented on a wide scale." Towards this goal, the Tellnet project has sought wider audience through academic publishing in conference and journal. Additionally, seeking external quality assurance and validation through scientific peer reviews was also an integral part of the quality processes designed within the project.
This has resulted in 10 conference and journal papers, one series of symposium papers (3 papers) and additional 2 workshop papers. They are enlisted below.
Fetter, S., Berlanga, A. J., Sloep, P. B., Vegt, W. v. d., Rajagopal, K., & Brouns, F. (2013). Using Peer-Support to Connect Learning Network Participants to Each Other: An Interdisciplinary Approach. International Journal of Learning Technology.
Berlanga, A. J., & Vuorikari, R. (Eds.). (2012). Symposium - Learning Networks for Professional Development: Current Research Approaches and Future Trends. In Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Networked Learning 2012. Maastricht, The Netherlands.
The Tellnet project has helped create a new type of professional development material for eTwinning teachers. The material comes with easy to use instructions and it can be used by any teachers, for example with colleagues in the same school or with teachers in another school.
The material consists of five scenarios introducing different possible futures of teachers' profession in compulsory education in 2025. By reflecting on possible futures through the support of five scenarios, teachers are encouraged to discuss and explore different ideas of how the teacher profession could be in 2025 and beyond.
120 eTwinners participated in a Learning Event called "The Future School - School in 2020". The Learning Event, which is part of eTwinning's offer for tecahers' professional development, included 6 parts. It was carried out from November 5 to 22 2012.
1. One of the parts focused on the Tellnet's scnarios for the teaching profession in 2025.
Riina Vuorikari, Tellnet's project manager, gave an online lecture to explain the context for the scenarios. The participants continued the activity using Google docs and other online tools to reflect on their own views on the future. The slides are availble below.
Teachers worked as teams and created an eBook of their thoughts and reflections on the topic in general (Schools in 2020) and on the Tellnet scenarios in particular. The book is available here.
Teachers worked on producing and sharing lesson plans. They can be viewed in the slides below.
The concept of "Teacher networks" was presented in a national event called "Spaning på IT i skolan" for Swedish education policy-makers and shapers in Stockholm on November 21 2012. Around 80 people participanted in the event from the MoE, the National Agency for Education, the School Inspectorate, and other agencies and local decision makers.
The event also included input from UNESCO's work on "Mobile Learning" by Francesc Pedró and final results from the OECD's recent study called Connected Minds by Lynda Hawe.
Below the presentation from the Tellnet project manager Dr. Riina Vuorikari.
The session in the Media & Learning Conference in Brussels was attended by 30 people. The session shared results from the Tellnet project and gave an update on teachers' practices on the use of social media in schools for educational purposes.
128 eTwinning Ambassadors from 30 countires attended the Professional Development Workshop in Athens, Greece. The keynote focused on the eTwinning teams in schools (an upcoming book with 15 case studies on eTwinning school teams) and on Teacher networks, the upcoming Tellnet publication.
The new Tellnet publication deals with the evolving role of the teaching profession and the role of teacher networks in response to changing skills needs in society. The book, called "Teacher Network - Today's and tomorrow's challenges and opportunities for the teaching profession", argues that teachers can be the main change agents for reforms of education, provided that they are well supported and enabled to do so. Recently, various teacher networks have emerged at the local and international scale, and questions around their role in supporting teachers, both in their Initial Teacher Training (ITT) and Continuous Professional Development (CPD), have been raised.
Download here the pdf in English, a short version in German, in French, in Spanish and in Dutch.
The book will be officially launched at the Media & Learning Conference in Brussels on Nov 14, 2012. The Tellnet also runs a workshop called "Social media networks in schools and in teacher's lives" on the same day from 11.30 to 13.00.
The RWTH Aachen, one of the project partners, recently participated in the following conferences where Tellnet related results were presented.
This year, RWTH Aachen has a full paper accepted to the conference called "Learning Analytics for Learning Blogospheres". In this paper, we exemplify the learning analytics approach using two real-world learning blogospheres: the Mediabase -- a large blog collection for technology enhanced learning, and the European eTwinning Network -- a lifelong learning blogsphere.
ASONAM is a high-quality annual conference in the research field of social network analysis (SNA). Social software analysis is the main methodology applied to explore the teachers' lifelong learning network, eTwinning. The paper, called Enhancing Academic Event Participation with Context-aware and Social Recommendations, applies the same SNA methodologies as of TeLLNet and therefore helps validate the research methodology with a wider research community.
The paper " "Learning Analytics for Learning Blogospheres" being presented in ICWL 2012.
One of the project partners, the Institute for Prospective Technological Studies (IPTS) has published some recent results on the project outcomes in the following European conferences.
The 17th INSPIRE conference, organized by the British Computer Society and the University of Tampere, addressed process improvement (PI) issues related to European and international teaching, training and research. JRC-IPTS presentation and related article (that is going to be published during November in the proceedings of the SQM / INSPIRE 2012 Conference) focused on the role of teachers' collaboration networks in fostering ICT-enabled innovation for learning at system level.
The "e-Learning for All" Conference in October 2012 organised by the University of Piraeus Research Center and ITisART Ltd in the context of the eLearningExpo, which is the biggest eLearning event in Greece bringing together industry, academia and practitioners. The aim of the conference was to highlight policies and modern approaches that concern the way e-learning for all philosophy has been applied into formal and informal learning settings in order to ensure people from all walks of life have access to high quality learning.
The JRC-IPTS keynote speech entitled 'Scaling-up ICT-enabled innovation for learning: challenges and opportunities' presented IPTS ongoing research in the context of SCALE CCR and TeLLNet project (in particular the scenarios for the future of teachers profession in 2025).

The 1st International Symposium on Innovation and Sustainability in Education (InSuEdu 2012) was hosted in October 2012 by the City College, International Faculty of the University of Sheffield in the context of the 10th International Conference on Software Engineering and Formal Methods. The symposium aimed to bring together educators, researchers and policy-makers who are interested in investigating innovative and sustainable models, methodologies and tools for any level of education.
In JRC-IPTS presentation entitled 'Creative Classrooms: A Systemic Approach for Mainstreaming ICT-enabled Innovation for Learning in Europe' eTwinning was presented as an existing case of ICT-enabled innovation for learning with significant scale in Europe.
In this JRC-IPTS report we have mapped eTwinning (and three other innovative initiatives) against the 'Mapping Framework of ICT-enabled innovation for learning' taking into account the nature of innovation, the implementation phase, the access level, the impact area and the target groups.

The final Tellnet event will take place in November 14 2012 as part of the Media & Learning 2012 Conference in Brussels. A booklet with final results from the project will also be released.
The booklet will include a set of possible future scenarios of teachers' profession in compulsory education in 2025. Although it is impossible to be certain of how the future will look like, the use of fictional scenarios help discuss plausible futures. Other inputs include research using authentic data gathered over 6 years in the European eTwinning community and focus on the importance of professional development networks for teachers' lives.
Content: This participatory workshop session is organised in the context of the Tellnet and SMILE projects, both led by European Schoolnet (EUN). It will focus on how teachers use social media in schools and for their professional development purposes. Inputs will include authentic data gathered over 6 years in the European eTwinning community.
Join the Tellnet and SMILE team for a drink to discuss the impact of social networks in schools and in teacher's lives. The drink also celebrates the inaugural Digital Citizenship Research Grant received from Facebook.


This week POLITICO's lobbying reporter James Panichi chats with antitrust and competition reporter Nicholas Hirst about the European Parliament's TAXE committee that looks into company's tax arrangements. Technology reporter Zoya Sheftalovich discusses the digital economy and society index of the European Commission. And reporter Emmet Livingstone joins to talk about the European Commission's gift room.


In Malaysia, the concern regarding the implementation of landscape design as one of the indicators for making a value to the house has never been more important. In terms of providing a significant value to the house is need to study. Subsequently, to enhance the quality of life and sustain a livable environment for future development seems crucial and related to the values of housing area. The impact on its values such as environmental value, social value and functional value toward a community becomes a priority. Therefore, this paper is aimed to identify the contribution of landscape design as an element in influencing the values of housing area in urban areas. The method specifically adopts triangulation methods of study consist of a collection of survey, interview and observation technique that conducted in selected housing area, in Klang Valley. The main findings show the involvement of landscape design in term of its planning, characteristic and elements can influence the value of house. It is hoped that this paper may provide significant information on the implication of landscape design towards influencing the values of the house and also attract prospect buyers in the future.

Arilena Ara, född 17 juli 1998 i Shkodra, är en albansk sångerska. Den 31 mars 2013 stod hon som segrare i den andra säsongen av X Factor Albania.

Ara deltog år 2010 i det albanska talangprogrammet för barn, Gjeniu i Vogël, där hon slutade på tredje plats.

Under hösten 2012 sökte hon till den albanska versionen av The X Factor. Där tog hon sig vidare till X Factors livesända program med sångerskan Tuna som coach. Ara lyckades ta sig vidare till finalen där hon ställdes mot Aldo Bardhi och gruppen Natyral. Väl i finalen vann hon tävlingen före Bardhi på andra plats och Natyral som trea.

Ara är därmed X Factor Albanias andra segrare, och den andra kvinnan i rad att vinna tävlingen då dess första vinnare var Sheila Haxhiraj.

Arilena Ara släppte sin debutsingel "Aeroplan" i februari 2014. Låten komponerades av den framgångsrike makedonske kompositören Darko Dimitrov med text av Rozana Radi.

Q: Adding a zero to my filename in batch script Im trying to add 1 to the current day but for that to be possible i have get the date to single digit(because it cant add 01 to 1 or something like that). After that works, i cant get it back to double digit (ex: 01, 02, 09)
My code looks like this:
Set /a day=%date:~1,2% (this is 2)
Set /a day+=1            (this is 3 now)
Set day=0%day%       (this is zero)

This only says the 0 in front
I tried with two different variables but it works same

A: By changing the number in this variable day=+1 to will add more days to your result, or changing to day=-1 will remove a day etc..
@echo off
set day=+1
echo>"%temp%\%~n0.vbs" s=DateAdd("d",%day%,now) : d=weekday(s)
echo>>"%temp%\%~n0.vbs" WScript.Echo year(s)^& right(100+month(s),2)^& right(100+day(s),2)
for /f %%a in ('cscript /nologo "%temp%\%~n0.vbs"') do set "result=%%a"
del "%temp%\%~n0.vbs"
set "YYYY=%result:~0,4%"
set "MM=%result:~4,2%"
set "DD=%result:~6,2%"
set "result=%yyyy%-%mm%-%dd%"
echo %DD%
pause

This will only echo the day +1. If however you want to echo the full date result, simply do echo %result%
YYYY, MM and DD have been split into single variables anyway so you can use it if you like.
Just as a sidenote:
echo>"%temp%\%~n0.vbs" s=DateAdd("d",%day%,now) : d=weekday(s)
echo>>"%temp%\%~n0.vbs" WScript.Echo year(s)^& right(100+month(s),2)^& right

is pretty much the same as:
echo s=DateAdd("d",%day%,now) : d=weekday(s) >"%temp%\%~n0.vbs"
echo WScript.Echo year(s)^& right(100+month(s),2)^& right >>"%temp%\%~n0.vbs"

CMD will pretty much do the same for both and that is to pipe the output to file. I simply do this so by reading the line, you can immediately see what the line does, echoing to external file, the string that follows.

A: As @Squashman suggested, PowerShell makes this pretty easy.
FOR /F %a IN ('powershell -NoProfile -Command "'{0:yyyy-MM-dd}' -f (Get-Date).AddDays(1)"') DO SET "NEWDATE=%a"
ECHO %NEWDATE%

In a .bat script, double the variable % characters.
FOR /F %%a IN ('powershell -NoProfile -Command "'{0:yyyy-MM-dd}' -f (Get-Date).AddDays(1)"') DO SET "NEWDATE=%%a"
ECHO %NEWDATE%

It is even easier if you use PowerShell and not cmd where it must be wrapped in a FOR loop.
$newdate = '{0:yyyy-MM-dd}' -f (Get-Date).AddDays(1)

Fractal Design have been around for a few years now and have made a name for themselves by producing a range of whisper quiet cases which also offer great build quality and good value. We were very impressed with the Fractal Design Define XL when we tested it last year so we were very excited when Fractal Design offered us their latest model to test.
Today we are going to look at the Fractal Design Define R4 case which is essentially an updated version of the Define R3 which has been on the market for a few years. It comes in at a price of around £100 inc. VAT which means it's competing with many other cases as the market is crowded at this price point.
Patent pending ModuVent™ design allowing the user to choose between optimal silence or maximum airflow.
Top HDD cage (5 trays total) can be rotated 90 degrees or removed for additional airflow or to accommodate long graphic cards up to 430mm in length.
Two Silent Series R2 fans included, featuring hydraulic bearings contributing to a longer life expectancy – Silent Series R2 retail fans will now come standard in all cases.
Wider case body that allows for improved cable routing behind the motherboard – now 26mm wide.
New tool-less front fan holder makes switching front fans a breeze.
Two SSDs can be mounted on the back of the motherboard plate.


We are starting the fourth week of BM#64 and I will be sharing three Detox Recipes suitable for the Detox diet.
I most surely needed one after the heavy sweet loaded Mega Edition on Mahatrastian I did last month. Anyway as most of my friends know, I am not very keen on diets or can ever hardly fast.
Of course, detox is not dieting, however, I can say it sort similar to our concept of fasting, where one either avoids a certain type of food for a day or in a routine in a week.
The first time I heard this term was when my Dietician shared the Detox Drink, that I will be sharing in this series. The other one was different recipes she suggested for all the course of the meal.
I am starting with the breakfast dish as I ended up making this before I could make the drink. It was such a sudden plan that I wasn't actually prepared and so the hasty pictures. Also, my DSLR has gone bonkers and will have to get it repaired.
Our regular Saturday breakfast is Ven Pongal, however, this weekend Hubby dear wanted a light one and asked if I could make something light. When I suggested Oats, he was fine with it. This is the first time he is eating Oats and I made sure he likes it with all the nuts and fruits decorated on top.
I was first attracted to Detox diet when I came across beautiful looking glasses of never-ending drinks. I later read on this. Check out the internet for more ideas, there are so many diets one can follow.
However in the gist, detox diet means getting rid of the toxins that get built up in our body because of various heavy eating etc. So following a certain type of diet helps the body handle it better.
The recipe is very simple and easy to assemble.
Bring the water to boil, add the oats and cook till done. Add the milk and sweeter as per taste.
I make this with for breakfast whenever I have fruits that need to be used up very soon. I also throw in some choco chips and off course, it is not detox breakfast. It must have tasted so good with mango.
Hot oatmeal is our everyday breakfast. The toppings add so much flavor. Fresh mango sounds great!
Breakfast oatmeal is regular for kids and me . With the choices of fruits nuts and honey .
This looks very wholesome and appealing.
I don't make oats often as there are no takers here. With nuts and mango this surely looks delicious..
Excellent breakfast, my all time favourite..We just love it.
That bowl looks very inviting valli. That detox water is regular at home.
Such a colourful and inviting bowl of oats….fruits and nuts enhance the dish!
We have oatmeal twice or thrice a week. So filling in the mornings.
I love this type of fruit and nut combination with oats. Makes for a filling and nutritious breakfast.


When Do Children Need Adjustments?
That question would be best answered when we explore the cause of spinal problems. The most common problem is Vertebral Subluxation, which often occurs for the first time at birth. Research suggests that 80% of babies immediately following birth are subluxated because of the stress placed on their spines during the birth process.
So what effect does subluxation have at this early age? 90% of babies at this stage remain asymptomatic (no signs of problems). However, even though they may not be experiencing symptoms, they are not truly healthy. Remember that the nerve system supplies and coordinates the function of the whole body and that symptoms are usually only experienced much later in life. In fact, in many cases, by the time symptoms are present, the damage may well be permanent. After the age of 13, many abnormal spinal curves are as difficult to correct as they are in adults (and very often are not associated with symptoms).
If your child was one of the lucky ones to go through birth without subluxations, then research tells us that 98% of children will have subluxations before the age of 5. In fact, most of the subluxations that we have as adults were caused before the age of 5.
Most of the subluxations that we have as adults were caused before the age of 5!
So, when should children have their spines checked for subluxation? As soon as they have a spine AND as soon as they can!
So, what are the benefits of having your children regularly checked for subluxation? First of all, it will ensure the spine and nerve system will remain healthy, keeping the child healthy. Second, it prevents their spines from degenerating prematurely. Third, it ensures a properly functioning organ system, which produces an improved immune system. This enhances the child's resistance not only to sinus and allergy issues, but it also decreases the risk of developing cancer later in life (as shown by new research).
THE NERVE SYSTEM IS TOTALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE HEALTH OF THE WHOLE BODY!
All parts of the body have a nerve supply from the spine. Any interference to this will affect the health and vitality of the body. The sooner this interference is corrected, the better the body will be able to function.
In our practice, we have had the opportunity to correct many spinal subluxations in children before permanent damage has set in. We have seen abnormal spinal curves return to normal in young children and adults alike. We know it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for children to have the potential to be completely healthy for their entire lives.
If you haven't already had your children's spines checked for subluxation, please set up an appointment to do so this week. Ask someone on our team about our complimentary "Family Checkup" times.
Chiropractic adjustments should begin as soon as there are subluxations. Since most subluxations occur at birth or during the years when our bodies are developing and growing, we should maintain our spines from birth on a regular basis throughout our lifetime. Doing this allows a child to have an excellent potential for complete health from early on in life.
Children and Chiropractic…Get into it for life!
