My family LOVES candy. Sometimes I think my kids only love candy so much because we eat it so little. So, it was a HUGE treat when we were able to review candy from Candy Galaxy!
We were able to try to items from their "red" line, and both would be so amazing to hand out during Halloween.
As a child, I hate salt water taffy, and I am not really sure why. I LOVE it now! My kids love it too! Each piece comes individually wrapped, and the cinnamon is sweet, not extremely hot, so even young kids will be able to eat it. Can you believe that Candy Galaxy sells this bag for only $3.29!!!
Next we tried the Red Strawberry Wrapped Crystal Sticks.
It is these amazing little crystals of candy, that kind of pop off in your mouth as you eat them. The taste is AMAZING! Both the kids and I loved them!
You can buy a pack of 12 for $11.99 from Candy Galaxy!
You will not be disappointed in the quality or price of the candy at Candy Galaxy! I am a very picky candy eater, and I loved both items!
MamaBreak received candy products to review here on MamaBreak. MamaBreak did not receive any other kind of compensation. As always our experiences and our opinions are our own.
I love Candy Galaxy. I would love to try the cinnamon salt water taffy that looks delicious.
I love those Crystal Sticks, or Rock Candy, as we used to call it! Candy Galaxy has an awesome selection of candy! Looks like someone sure is enjoying it!!
I would love to try the Cinnamon taffy, I love products that are not the traditional flavors. We used to call the other ice candy as kids, basically pure sugar on a stick who would not love it! Great review.
I love candy! I have the worst sweet tooth and salt water taffy is my absolute favorite thing to satisfy it. I have never tried anything from Candy Galaxy but they sure seem to have a huge variety of yummy treats.
I love Halloween !!!!!! The rock candy looks great !
I love this site, I have actually used them for a birthday party before!

Severe pruritus of vulva, anus, or body folds.
Superficial denuded, beefy-red areas with or without satellite vesicopustules.
Whitish curd-like concretions on the oral and vaginal mucous membranes.
Yeast and pseudohyphae on microscopic examination of scales or curd.
Mucocutaneous candidiasis is a superficial fungal infection that may involve almost any cutaneous or mucous surface of the body. It is particularly likely to occur in diabetic patients, during pregnancy, in obese persons, and in the setting of immunosuppression. Systemic antibiotics, oral corticosteroids, hormone replacement therapy, and oral contraceptive agents may be contributory. Oral and interdigital candidiasis may be the first sign of HIV infection (see Chapter 31-04). Denture use predisposes the elderly to infection. Abnormalities in the IL-17, IL-22, mannose-binding lectin, and toll-like receptors have all been implicated in predisposing patients to Candida infection of the skin and mucous membranes.
Itching may be intense. Burning is reported, particularly around the vulva and anus. The lesions consist of superficially denuded, beefy-red areas in the depths of the body folds, such as in the groin and the intergluteal cleft, beneath the breasts, at the angles of the mouth(eFigure 6–61), in the webspaces of digits, and in the umbilicus. The peripheries of these denuded lesions are superficially undermined, and there may be satellite vesicopustules. Whitish, curd-like concretions may be present on mucosal lesions (Figure 6–22). Paronychia may occur.

Clusters of budding yeast and pseudohyphae can be seen under high power (400×) when skin scales or curd-like lesions are mounted in 10% KOH (eFigure 6–25). Culture can confirm the diagnosis.
Intertrigo (eFigure 6–18), seborrheic dermatitis, tinea cruris, "inverse psoriasis" (eFigure 6–31), and erythrasma involving the same areas may mimic mucocutaneous candidiasis (eFigure 6–32).
Systemic invasive candidiasis with candidemia may be seen with immunosuppression and in patients receiving broad-spectrum antibiotic and hypertonic glucose solutions, as in hyperalimentation. There may or may not be clinically evident mucocutaneous candidiasis.
A. General Measures
Affected parts should be kept dry and exposed to air as much as possible. Water immersion should be minimized and gloves should be worn for those with infected nails or digital skin. If possible, discontinue systemic antibiotics. ...

2022 Audi R8 LMS GT: Futuristic
December 1, 2022 /in General /by SimplyCarBuyers.com
The company, Audi, unveiled a new futuristic car, 2022 Audi R8 LMS GT. It is the first of its kind, with a high level of design and specifications. It is available to many special teams' bands, but private and not public. The Audi R8 LMS GT built this year. As for the price of the car, its price reached 429,000 euros. This is equivalent to approximately 505,005 dollars. These previously mentioned prices are inclusive of additive-value. This model preceded many previous models, the most important of which is the R8 LMS and the GT3 model. This modern model based on the previous models. There are unique with development and modification.
Characteristics of Audi R8
The Audi R8 LMS GT characterized by a high degree of aerodynamics. Therefore, this is the first and last factor behind the extreme speed of Audi cars. In racing, many designers of supercars, thought the speed depends on the power of the engine. But Audi distinguished by using a double-edged sword – machine power and aerodynamics technology. Not only that, but there are also devices that control the characteristics of the engine.
As for the design, the car provided with a rear spoiler that has many advantages. The most important of which is air-flow-control, i.e. the car's dynamics. Moreover, there is sporty design that reflected through this rear spoiler. The car's 5.2-liter V10 engine produces 585 horsepower. This enables the car to obtain a top speed that enables it to compete in fierce competitions with ease. To put it in a nut shell, the general shape of the car is similar to other racing cars.

Is Diesel Motor Oil the Right Choice for a Gasoline Engine? 2023Jeep Compass: A Distinguished Four-Wheel-Drive


Five months ago, actress Rita Wilson shared the difficult and personal news that she had undergone a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery after being diagonosed with breast cancer. Thankfully, the 58-year-old was recently given the all-clear, now her husband Tom Hanks has given another update, confirming that her health is "fantastic".
"She took on not only the crisis, but also the issues of women's cancers in a way that I thought was extremely brave and beautiful," the Oscar-winner told Extra. "I'm glad we're not in high school, because I wouldn't have had the courage to talk to her in the hallway! I am a lucky man."
Tom and Rita have been very happily married for 27 years now. Asked what advice he would give to others on maintaining a successful relationship, the Saving Mr Banks actor replied: "Don't be stupid. I think that anybody that gets married is partaking in an act of bravery."
On the subject of weddings, 59-year-old Tom also opened up about his most recent role: officiating at Girls actress Allison Williams' marriage to Ricky Van Deen in Wyoming earlier this month.
"Well, here's what I did – I studied the ministry for over $35," the star said. "And if you want to call me Right Reverend Tom Hanks, I think you should." He then joked: "I'm for rent. If you can afford the honorarium, I'll be there for ya!" Both Tom and Rita both attended Allison and Ricky's star-studded wedding – Rita plays Allison's on-screen mom in the hit HBO series.


I will do my best to not make this into a scientific diatribe—there are better ways to help people fall asleep! However, we'll talk enough science to allow most anyone to understand the important parts of our biology associated with sleep.
Most of you have probably heard of the term; "circadian rhythm", and know that it has something to do with sleep and sunlight. But, what the heck does that really mean, and why should you care?
Well, literally, it means; Circa = about, and Dia = day. So, "about a day". So far not too complex (or helpful). The basics are that our eyes sense light—and use that information to put our bodies on schedule with sun up and sun down. Since the modern human body and brain existed long before the light bulb, our brains don't know the difference between sunlight and electric light—for purposes of telling our brain what time it is.
Since our brains cannot sense the world directly, we use our eyes, body temperature, activity, and stimulation (physical and cognitive) levels to tell our brain what time it is—approximately (morning, day, or night-time). Our brains then respond by changing thousands of things to align our brain with what task our bodies will likely be called upon to do. So, your brain's chemistry looks totally different at night (sleeping or not), than during the day (whether your being active or not).
So, if your circadian rhythm is not aligned with the time of day (and task at hand) we struggle more than we need to. The big deal about all of this usually comes in one of two flavors: being tired when we need to be productive, and being wired when we need to be asleep.
If we are well aligned with our environment, our brains produce all sorts of chemicals that help us be alert, and productive. Then, at night, our brains decrease production of those chemicals, and produce more chemicals to help us be asleep.
A big player in this is a hormone called melatonin.
Melatonin has many functions on many areas of the brain, but one of the main functions is to decrease our adrenal hormone secretions—because our adrenal gland's (so named because they secrete adrenaline) job, is to keep us awake, alert, and ready for life. If you're being chased by a tiger you need lots of adrenaline, so it's a great thing. BUT, if you're preparing for bed, adrenaline is a big obstacle.
So, one of the cool tricks our brains and bodies do is produce melatonin—to reduce adrenaline—at the right time of day. That is why bright light in your eyes, after sun-down, can cause sleep problems. But, time of day isn't the whole picture. Here is one example; most American's are familiar with the Thanksgiving's Day "tryptophan coma". I'm not sure if any other countries have a designated day for excessive turkey ingestion, but they should!
If you haven't heard of the amino acid Tryptophan, don't worry. It's not important to know the name, but it is one of the many amino acids that turkey has in spades. Tryptophan is essential to produce melatonin. So, when we eat a bunch of tryptophan, our body and brains, can make a bunch of melatonin, and that can make us feel like taking a nap, right after over-stuffing ourselves. There's a little more to it than that, but again, it serves our purposes here.
However, remember at the beginning of this blog I discussed other inputs to our brains, that let our brain know what time it is? As the sun goes down, our body temperatures begin to lower, and that is another cue for your brain to sleep. In the dark we would have been less active ancestrally (due to poor vision), and there would have been less stimulation in general. That is wh I recommend a totally dark, cool room, get rid of electronics, don't exercise or work right before bed, spend some time winding down your brain (reading, relaxing, meditating, breathing, stretching etc.). But, like many areas of life, "ideal" is rarely realistic.
We all have lots things to do after the sun goes down—unless we all want to become farmers and forgo having kids, relationships with people in other time zones, watching television etc.
So, how many of our daily behaviors are profoundly effecting our circadian rhythms. What can we do about these things? You ask . . .
First, obviously the light streaming into our eyes, long after the sun has gone down is huge. Due to the pathways we discussed above, electric lighting interferes with production of melatonin, and the necessary reduction of the brain chemicals keeping us alert. This is why people tell you to quit watching TV, and using computers right before bed. Some folks try to block this light with special glasses, screen covers, and computer programs. All of these things help, but let's keep in mind that they are only mitigating the deleterious effects, and therefore are necessary, but only a partial solution.
Secondly, we can stay warm, active, and stimulated way past sun down. Unfortunately, many people in our post-industrialization world have lives requiring them to be awake longer, more alert, and more ready than our ancestors needed to be during the night. This leads to an excess of stress hormones, and as you may have guessed, this results in the body needing significantly more melatonin to decrease our adrenal function before bed.
1) No–or a significantly reduced–trigger from decreased light to tell the brain to making the magic happen.
2) We need more than our bodies are designed to produce, because we live such hectic lives.
And, I'll add one–ok more than one–more: because of our environment, work schedules, nutrition, toxins, and messing with our stress hormones, many of us are deficient in multiple compounds needed to make melatonin.
Coming full circle, if our brains think we should be awake, our brains and bodies will help us be awake. Melatonin production is big, but shutting down production of certain brain chemicals is just as big. This process is associated with the melatonin pathway but only tangentially. If you want to read more about that, google; "functions of GABA" and read until your heart is content.
The sleep supplement that Sarah and I discussed on her podcast is designed purely with the intent of helping people produce enough melatonin, and encouraging the GABA pathways that decrease wakefulness.
This is not a magic potion that will allow you to disregard getting yourself ready for sleep, but it is meant to bridge the gap between "ideal" and realistic preparation for bed.
Now, the question you may be asking yourself is: So what? What is the big deal about a little sleep loss? Well, that is why this blog is broken into 4 parts. In the next three blogs, I'll be discussing many of the ill effects of even "just a little" sleep deprivation, and giving helpful tips for specific problems.
As a little teaser, let me just say that sleep effects thousands of biological functions, and not getting enough sleep is correlated to many diseases, premature aging, not being able to lose fat, moodiness, irritability, emotionality, accidents, domestic violence, depression, motivation, willpower, memory, and even suicide.

No. 19 Oklahoma recovers from rough start, takes Big 12 lead
NORMAN, Okla. (AP) A few weeks ago, things looked bleak for Oklahoma and coach Bob Stoops.
The Sooners lost early games to Houston and Ohio State, and fans and some boosters were getting restless as the team tumbled out of the Top 25.
Things still aren't perfect, but Oklahoma bounced back with wins over TCU and Texas that put the 19th-ranked Sooners in great position early in the Big 12 season. Oklahoma (3-2, 2-0) is tied with Baylor for first place heading into Saturday's home game against Kansas State.
Stoops said Monday that there's plenty of work to do.
''We're still too inconsistent,'' he said. ''I think we're showing more and more signs of playing like we're capable, but I think there's more there. We've got to keep pushing to be better.''
The Sooners say there's no chance they'll overlook the Wildcats (3-2, 1-1), who are coming off a win over Texas Tech.
''It's the next game on our schedule, and all we can do is basically prepare like we prepared for Texas and everybody else that we have played,'' Oklahoma safety Steven Parker said. ''It's going to be on us. I don't think that we're going to take Kansas State lightly at all because they're not a bad team. They're a good football program, especially from Bill Snyder coaching those guys up. We're definitely going to have to be ready and have our hats on.''
The key differences between Oklahoma's play in the losses and the victories over TCU and Texas are receiver Dede Westbrook's emergence as a star and Samaje Perine's production in the running game.
Westbrook's chemistry with quarterback Baker Mayfield is at an all-time high. Westbrook had 17 catches for 154 yards with no touchdowns the first three games. He has 17 catches for 390 yards and five touchdowns the past two games.
Westbrook had been dealing with a hamstring pull that slowed him down early in the season, but he's fine now. He had 10 catches for an Oklahoma record 232 yards and three touchdowns against Texas and was named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week.
''I don't know what the clock says, but he is as fast as he needs to be,'' Stoops said. ''He has great speed. He's really hard to overthrow for that reason. He's finally back to where he's feeling 100 percent and it's obvious. He can turn short ones into big ones and he can get behind people as well. And he's really a sharp route runner, too.''
Westbrook finally has become comfortable replacing Sterling Shepard as Mayfield's main target.
''I have a different role on the team now,'' Westbrook said. ''Just pretty much rise to the occasion, and make plays whenever they ask me to.''
Perine started the season slowly but now is the No. 2 rusher in the Big 12. He had just 149 yards in the first three games this season, then broke out with 98 yards and two touchdowns against TCU and followed with 214 yards on a career-high 35 carries and another two touchdowns against Texas.
Stoops said Perine is working back from an ankle issue and getting close to his normal level of play.
''He's physical, of course, and powerful, but you have to appreciate he's coming back to form now after that ankle - just how he can sidestep people at that size, at 235 pounds,'' Stoops said. ''The other day, he carried the ball 35 times and did not have one lost yardage play. That's hard to do.''

Grand Canyon Village Tidbits
Grand Canyon Village is based in the northern part of Arizona. It is known as the world more colorful and dazzling landscape. The historic district embraces the ancient history center of the Grand Canyon Village, located on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon National Park based in Arizona. The district involves a lot of landmark park construction, some are listed on the National Register of Historic Place and several of which are National Historic Landmarks. The design as a whole as this town is powerful and momentous for its diligence to integration with the Grand Canyon panorama.
Grand Canyon Village was designed by the National Park Service to be a complete and global development of tourism on the South Rim. It is the greatest example of a Park Service town outlining extant in the national park complex. The primary centered on the accomplishment of the Grand Canyon Railway, the town was expanded as both the park concessioner, the Park Service, the Fred Harvey Company, established or welding machinery. In the year 1905, the El Tower was opened as a terminal hotel on the canyon rim by the Topeka Atchison, and Santa Fe Railway, who is known as the Grand Canyon spur. In the year 1909, a new train depot was established next to the hotel by the railway. The concessionaires are the one taking care of all the early development of the village.
While the Grand Canyon Village is based in the northern part of Arizona, it is known as the world's more colorful and dazzling landscape. The historic district embraces the ancient history center of the Grand Canyon Village, located on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon National Park based in Arizona. The district involves a lot of landmark park construction, some are listed on the National Register of Historic Place and several of which are National Historic Landmarks. The design as a whole as this town is powerful and momentous for its diligence to integration with the Grand Canyon panorama.
While the Grand Canyon in the year 1910 was still labeled a national monument, Richard Achilles Ballinger (Secretary of the Interior) recommended an idea to be done prior further development and progress took place at the South Rim. The general superintendent Mark Daniels of the parks from 1914, called for complementary inclusive planning in establishing sewer and water systems, power distribution as well as the telephone networks.
A master plan in the year 1924 by National Park Service was planned by Daniel Ray Hull, a landscape architect, established a village square junction of the east road and railroad down the El Tovar. The initial park administration building was built over there. He used the town's topography, charged by Bright Angel Wash town's topography, with friendly urban neighborhoods on two small hills branched by the bureau of the Bright Angel drainage, over the main south entrance road to the Bright Angel and charging hotel expansion in the land area of the El Tovar and the Bright Angel Camp. One more plaza or square was proposed where the new south entrance road reached the rim, enclosing another proposed museum, administration building and a post office. In due time, the plaza turned into a parking area.
The residential areas are very diverse. Park Service construction was organized for the automobile access was to be hindered with house fronts adapted to a central common space. The city of Grand Canyon Village is one of the earliest uses of this agreement in a prospective community, anticipating its use at Radburn, Henry Wright and New Jersey by Clarence Stein. Fred Harvey Company Housing personnel were organized in a more classic street facing organization, with a lateral arrangement of alleys for the entry to the garages at the rear of the lot areas.
Most of the ideas and work that were established in the late 1930's was all done by the Civilian Conservation Corps labor, especially the beautiful landscaping which includes the transplantation of the native and natural vegetation into land areas that was distracted by the construction.
Most of the amazing and classic structures and contributing features in Grand Canyon Village are classic and simple landscape design just like the culverts, the attracting retaining walls and sidewalks. The canyon rim stone wall is the fundamental defining attraction of the area, established in the era between year 1934 and 1905. Almost 44 structures were identified as devoting attractions of the city, most of the built of classic Kaibab limestone.

In India, summers are harsh and we need to put in a lot of time and effort to safeguard our skin and hair. This is the time of the year when most of our indigenous beauty tips come handy to prevent skin related issues. Sun is considered to cause permanent damage to the skin.
The unprotected skin which is exposed to sun dries up. The exposure also diminishes the supply of natural lubricating oil to the skin. Moreover, when the skin is exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation it can result in burning and can change the structure of the skin for a long time. A lot of exposure to sun many also causes premature aging. Given that there are more chances of us getting exposed to the sun in summer, we have to take considerable measures in order to avoid all summer related skin issues.
A sunscreen should be a permanent thing in your cosmetic pouch. However, only applying sunscreen before just stepping out of your house doesn't really help, once applied sunscreen is only effective for a couple of hours or three hours tops. Hence, it is very important to keep reapplying the sunscreen every two to three hours. There is an array of sunscreen products available in the market these days which are UVA and UVB which come in a range from SPF 30 to SPF 70.
we can't stress enough about the importance of drinking enough water, especially in summer. Apart from keeping your skin clean from toxins, regular water intake will also prevent any dehydration in your body. Try to drink at least 2 to 3 liters of water every day. Carry a bottle of water with you everywhere you go.
For the hot and sultry season of summer, heavy makeup looks would not be the best idea. Avoid makeup as much as you can, sport a clean moisturized and sun-protected skin this summer. If you must wear makeup, make sure you are using a foundation with SPF. Even while wearing makeup, keep it light and especially avoid heavy eye makeup.
Though we all take extra care in moisturizing our skin winter, we shouldn't neglect to moisturize our skin in summer. You can find light skin lotions on the market, these summer lotions also help in hydrating your skin in summer. Do remember to apply a coat of your moisturizer or lotion before you put on your sunblock.
Summer or not it is a vital skincare rule to exfoliate your skin on a regular basis. You need to do it more religiously in summer to remove all the dead skin. Make sure you invest in good body scrub or exfoliator that suits your skin type.
Let your skin remember the summers for the beautiful sun-kissed photographs you captured this season and not for the tan and skin issues caused due to the heat.

Days after charging - some said inaccurately - that the U.S. Postal Service was losing money delivering packages for online retail shopping giant Amazon, President Donald Trump on Thursday night ordered the establishment of a new task force to figure out how to end years of operating losses at the Postal Service, which have stretched into the billions of dollars.
"The USPS is on an unsustainable financial path and must be restructured to prevent a taxpayer-funded bailout," the President said in an executive order issued by the White House.
"It shall be the policy of my Administration that the United States postal system operate under a sustainable business model to provide necessary mail services to citizens and businesses, and to compete fairly in commercial markets," the President added in the statement.
Rising red ink at the Postal Service is nothing new, as with the growth of the internet, first class mail volume has dropped dramatically - though some of that has been replaced by package deliveries for Amazon and other mail order companies.
The latest Postal Service financial statement was a typical snapshot.
"In the first quarter 2018, package volumes grew by 111 million pieces, or approximately 7%, while mail volumes declined by approximately 2.0 billion pieces, or approximately 5%, continuing a multi-year trend of increasing package volume and declining letter volumes." the Postal Service reported.
In fact, on December 18, 2017, the Postal Service set a record for the most packages delivered in a single day - over 37 million - and yet, they still lost $540 million in the first quarter of the fiscal year, which included the holiday season in December.
The issue of making changes at the Postal Service is nothing new - lawmakers in Congress have been struggling with how best to deal with the new financial realities of the mail delivery business in order to restore some longer-term financial stability.
"There is an urgent need for the Congress to enact postal reform legislation this year," Postmaster General Megan Brennan said a few weeks ago, as a bipartisan group of lawmakers unveiled a new reform bill with a goal of putting the Postal Service on a "sustainable financial path."
But there have been many attempts at postal reform in the Congress which have foundered before getting signed into law.
"It's our duty in Congress to pave a fiscally sustainable path that will enable this American institution to thrive," said Sen. Tom Carper (R-DE).
It's not clear how the President's new task force - chaired by the Secretary of Treasury - will either mesh, or get in the way of Congressional action on reform at the Postal Service.
One of the biggest hurdles is how Congress required the Postal Service to fund union retirement and health plans in advance; the unions like that type of security - the Postal Service argues it is financial overkill.

PNP put in a bind by SAF whistle-blower
By: DJ Yap - Reporter / @deejayapINQ
Philippine Daily Inquirer / 05:01 AM July 29, 2011
Senior Supt. Rafael Santiago seems to have put the Philippine National Police in a bind.
After his explosive revelations about his team's involvement in stealing election returns, the PNP offered to place Santiago under protective custody—then threatened to drop him from the rolls if he failed to report at Camp Crame.
Also, the PNP said it would not condone police officers "following illegal orders," but, on the other hand, would support those who came out to expose past election irregularities.
"It must be understood that Senior Superintendent Santiago's actions are purely personal in nature and were done on his own volition," said PNP spokesperson Chief Supt. Agrimero Cruz Jr.
He said Santiago, recently assigned to the PNP Directorate for Operations after his relief as Zambales provincial director in July, was now considered absent without leave and should report to his superiors soon.
"Under the rules, after he's declared Awol, we will locate him at his last known address and, after 30 days, he would be dropped from the rolls," Cruz told reporters.
He said Santiago had not been in touch with his superiors since July 7 when he was supposed to have assumed his new post in Camp Crame.
But at the same time, Cruz said the PNP was prepared to provide security to Santiago and other police officers "who have come out with evidence of alleged election fraud."
Cruz stressed the PNP would not condone officers' involvement in electoral fraud.

Siddhartha Rastogi
3 Evils which can push the economy on a downward spiral
Shanta Kumari, mother of a two year old daughter, is eight months pregnant. Since her pregnancy, she has only put on three kgs of weight. Her husband, an agriculture labourer in the rural land of Bihar, wants a son this time to take care of him in his old age. This is her third pregnancy in the last four years. Their first child was stillborn. Lack of nutrition for the mother and child reduces the chances of infant mortality rate significantly, leaving only hope and prayers to the almighty for the child to come out healthy and survive for the next five years. Shanta knows that during the period of pregnancy she needs to have fortified and nutritious food so that the baby can get adequate nutrition. But lack of family support and lack of money has only added to her woes.
Her daughter is less than 10kgs. Post her second delivery, Shanta could only feed her daughter for 3 months as breast milk stopped coming, signifying a lack of intake of proper food and nutrition during the nursing period. Shanta's husband has cleared his senior secondary exam but has no job. To protect the family for starvation, he took up manual labour. He remains unemployed almost three to four months every year.
The story of malnutrition to undernutrition to unemployment to women suppression is common. Data from Registrar General of India's office for Year 2014 (latest available) shows:
"India has higher infant mortality than its neighbours Nepal & Bangladesh,
both poorer countries."
The situation is even worse in rural India, where basic medical and healthcare services cease to exist and along with it comes the draconian regime of perilous poverty.
India accounts for roughly 17.5% of the total world population but 25% of the total maternal conditions/ illnesses and 20% of nutritional disorders.
The surprising part is despite the fertility rate almost halving since independence, which currently stands at 2.5, the government has not been able to contain infant mortality. Successive governments' apathy (allocating only meager 1% of the total GDP towards basic healthcare) has led to marginal improvement in primary healthcare at the grass roots level.
To make matters worse, children who survive for 5 years and add to the labour force of the country, are totally incapable of handling smart jobs, which the changing world needs, driven by intelligence and technology. This is mainly on account of a lack of nutrition at an early age. Lack of basic nutrients pose impediments in developing healthy brains and healthy bodies of adults accompanied by various illnesses which make his or her earning capacity lower.
Latest employment statistics shows that almost
10 million people add to the work force but
less than half a million find jobs in organized sector.
Amidst all this mess, Nidan, a NGO based in Bihar has come up with innovative thinking. They have implemented Food nutrients fortified plants, with the help of Gain in three rural centers of Bihar. The rationale is fairly clear, solving three problems with a single exercise.
These fortified plants are run collectively by the association of women, thereby adding supplementary income to the household. It also enables women empowerment as women of the family learn to deal with the worldly matters generally driven by men.
Since the set up is run and controlled by females, they empathize well with other women, who need prenatal and neonatal nutrition. These women by creating self help groups add to the GPD and reduce the burden on employment exchanges, thereby providing employment opportunities to self and others.
Three villages have already displayed the success of the Project. Perhaps with some assistance from the government and some from the social venture funds, the model can be implemented in all six and a half lac villages of India thereby bringing the true meaning of democracy where men and women are both treated equally with equal opportunities to achieve success.
Siddhartha was born to a learned middle class educated family in Semi Urban India. His father was an extremely honest man who because of his honesty had to pay the price in corporate world. Mother is a determined woman who ensured that children are being well taken care off. After a few years of birth, doctors called Siddhartha, a slow child having flat foot. He would fall more than he could walk. Determined mother ensured all therapies for her son to come out strong to fight the world. Siddhartha joined swimming when he was in 6th standard. Seeing other children of his class, he jumped in 10 feet deep pool and learnt swimming on his own, the very same day.
From that day there was no looking back. He topped his city in 12th and went to score highest in his B school exams. During his profession as banker, he became youngest branch manager of a MNC bank managing their biggest wealth branch in the country. There he found love of his life and got married. His love of his life emerged in the form of his daughter who completely changed him for good.
Siddhartha Rastogi is Director for a boutique Investment bank in India.
Siddhartha is a forward looking thinker & writer who has written a book on decision making. 8 Simple steps to effective decision making.
He writes on various social and current issues via his blog and can also be found on twitter.

Save Wincheap Water Meadows
by Save Wincheap Water Meadows
Lawyers: Richard Buxton Solicitors
The Save Wincheap Water Meadows campaign consists of a coalition of residents and representatives of local amenity societies in Canterbury.
The Save Wincheap Water Meadows campaign is a coalition of residents and amenity societies in Canterbury who want to save an attractive stretch of the Stour river valley on which Canterbury City Council plans to build a car park.
The issue:
The proposed site for the car park is a Local Wildlife Site, on the floodplain, in an Area of High Landscape Value and part of the designated Stour Valley Green Corridor. Otters are among the wildlife that have been known to visit this habitat.
The Council says that it is essential to go ahead with the car park in order to extend the Park & Ride at Wincheap once the new A2 slip road has been built. The Council has given itself planning permission, but we say that there are other sites that it could use or that it could deck part of the existing car park.
Our case:
We have launched a Judicial Review to challenge the planning committee's decision and the way it was arrived at. The legal challenge rests on three grounds:
• Failure to carry out an Environmental Impact Assessment;
• Legal errors in the Habitats Regulation Assessment;
• Misleading claims that the site had been 'allocated' in the Local Plan and that it would not have a harmful effect on the landscape.
We are working together with the countryside charity CPRE Kent and have promised that we will raise £5000 to help fund the initial phase of the legal challenge. This is to pay the costs of preparing and filing the application for a Judicial Review. We need your support. Please help us to save this precious stretch of river valley for future generations.
Thank you for your time and donations!

A dial tone instead of a human voice announced Lucky's ousting from the Lucklighter clan over twelve years ago. After living a life of crime. After testifying against his drug lord lover. After receiving a ten-year sentence. Ah, hell. Lucky would've disowned himself too.
Now life's better. He's done his time and earned a place in the Southeastern Narcotics Bureau's Department of Diversion Prevention and Control. He has a house. He has Bo, his partner both on and off the job. And pets. But not his folks. The worst part? He's not sure exactly why they disowned him. Too late now: they think he's dead.
Reunion is a Lucky-centric book in such a way that the previous entries weren't. There are definitely many holes and unresolved issues in Lucky's past, and Reunion is putting resolution to those very issues (the title is a very appropriate name for this entry). Reunion is also a "tug-at-your heartstrings" kind of story that slowly moves Lucky and Bo's relationship forward. The presence of secondary characters also took the forefront of Reunion, which may be a plus or minus - plus, because it adds a bit more color to Lucky's otherwise small world; a minus, because there wasn't as much on page Lucky x Bo time. At the very least, I felt these secondary characters were enjoyable. If you made it to Reunion, you're probably very invested in this series. Overall, this book was very enjoyable to me.

Recovering investments or money from a binary option scam could prove difficult especially when you consult the wrong expertise. After loosing over $26,000 of personal investment , I sought for answers for the sake of my own sanity and not until I consulted with davidmarkson4430@gmail.com was I able to recover a very high percentage of my investment within a very short period of one week. I therefore strongly recommend their swift services.
I was first unsure whether this would be a good investment solution but I quickly became confident in the service. Their response times are second to none! I have spoken with Tom a few times and his knowledge is great!
WiseAlpha is a disruptive investing platforms that allows individual investors to invest in notes and bonds. One of the best way to deliver some cash.
Used for a couple years. Decent variety of bonds on offer with new ones being added regularly. Also good improvements being made ui/ux of the site.
A chance for the ordinary man to take some profits usually reserved for elite investors. Easy to use platform to get exposure to corporate bonds with a decent yield. The risks are explained in plain English. A 2.1 in economics is not a prerequisite to understanding this.
Being a novice , I 've been really impressed at how easy & straightforward investing has been & I would highly recommend Wise Alpha to anyone thinking of dipping their toe in.
If I have ever had a query Wisealpha have been very quick to answer my questions even outside normal office hours.
Spent a long time looking for diversification into the fixed income space, and the ease of use and the platform and breadth of the offering is great !
WiseAlpha are a great company with great customer service. The team really understand the product offer.
Great exposure to corporate bonds! This enables me to diversify my portfolio by introducing a asset class that was previously out of reach for a retail investor like myself.
The only provider (as far as I know) that gives access to corporate bonds for low net worth retail investors. The website is very user-friendly and easy to understand. The only drawback is the rather hefty 1% fee, which will really eat into your returns.
