chmod - Change File Access Permissions
Remembering the access privileges shown by the ls command with the -l option, this command will allow either the user/owner of file or the system administrator (root) to change the permissions mask for a file or directory. File permissions can be specified with two different methods, symbolic mode or numeric (absolute) mode. Only the first mode, symbolic, will be covered here, information about the absolute (numeric) mode can be found in the man and info pages. Definitions are in order: the abbreviation u stands for the files user/owner, g stands for the files group user, and o stand for all other system users. The letters r, w, x represent read, write, and execute permissions and finally + means add a privilege and - means remove a privilege and are summarized as shown in Table 13.
First, the general form and then an example.
chmod [options] mode[, mode] filename
How this command changes privileges is probably best understood from a couple examples. A long directory listing of the file, example_file, might be:
---xrw-rw- 1 someuser somegrp 54 Apr.1 12:01 example_file
Here, the command:
chmod u+rw,go-w example_file
will add read and write privileges for the file example_files user/owner and remove write privileges for the files group user and all other system users.
Notice, first multiple privilege modes can be used simply separating them by a comma. This allows modifying the privilege mask for user, group, other all in one command, when different privileges are needed for each. Secondly, no privileges not referenced in this form are changed.
In this example the execute privilege for this file would not have been changed for user, group, or other and the read privileges for group and other would remain whatever they were before this command had been executed. Now, a long listing of this file would yield:
-rwxr--r-- 1 someuser somegrp 54 Apr.1 12:01 example_file
Then running:
chmod u-x example_file
would remove the execute privilege for the files user/owner. This could have been accomplished all in the first example. The final access privileges would now look like:
-rw-r--r-- 1 someuser somegrp 54 Apr.1 12:01 example_file

My second entry to CCC.
The ship being built has been designed is based on my 'vast' knowledge of ships construction (which is... I have seen one). :p
I hope it looks a bit like a ship at least.

Zombie Sock Monkeys
textile, plush, sock monkey, doll
Made for the holiday or by special order
When I first started making Sock Monkeys, I learned using the original pattern by Red Heel. In late 2006, when a customer asked me for a shorter legged monkey, but to retain the designs at the base of the feet, I redesigned the Monkey pattern and began using my own pattern. From there, my imagination went wild. By 2009 I was doing things no one else was doing with sock monkeys… and once again, I set the bar with Zombie Sock Monkeys. They went viral on twitter, and it went on and on from there.

Exports of Military Drones Now First Require Assurances of Proper Use
The State Department's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls has announced that in support of the U.S. policy on the export of military unmanned aerial systems it now requires certain assurances of proper use from the foreign end-users prior to export. Specifically, form DSP-83, Non-Transfer and Use Certificate, including a new addendum to paragraph five that must be in the format specified below, must be signed by the foreign end-user and U.S. applicant and be submitted at the time of initial application for a permanent export license.
End User:
The end-user agrees to use the U.S.-origin military UASs in accordance with international law, applicable provisions of the Arms Export Control Act and its implementing regulations, the International Traffic In Arms Regulations, and the transfer agreement. The end-user agrees not to transfer title to or possession of any defense article or related training or other defense services associated with a U.S.-origin military UAS, so furnished to it, to anyone not an officer, employee or agent of that country. The end-user agrees not to use or permit the use of the U.S.-origin military UAS for purposes other than those for which furnished unless the prior approval of the USG has been obtained. The end-user agrees that it will maintain the security of the military UAS and its related components and will provide substantially the same degree of security protection afforded to such article or service by the USG.
The end-user agrees to the following principles of use: 1. Recipients are to use these systems in accordance with international law, including international humanitarian law and international human rights law, as applicable. 2. Armed UASs and strike-enabling technologies are to be used in operations involving the use of force only when there is a lawful basis for use of force under international law, such as national self-defense. 3. Recipients are not to use UASs to conduct unlawful surveillance or use unlawful force against their domestic populations. 4. As appropriate, recipients shall provide UAS operators technical and doctrinal training on the use of these systems to reduce the risk of unintended injury or damage.

Van Gordon Sauter, a former president of CBS News and Fox News, made a chilling statement Tuesday during a disciplinary hearing about former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones' claims that he did not knowingly take an anabolic steroid prior to a July 29 fight against Daniel Cormier.
"I just think that if we vote against you, in effect, we will pretty much set you adrift in terms of your career and whatever impact that may have on your future," the 82-year-old commissioner solemnly said to Jones. " … If we vote against you, I think the game's over. If we believe what you tell us, and you live as you tell us you will, then you have a chance to continue on and have an opportunity for a better life.
"It's a very difficult place to be, in my opinion, and we as a commission don't encounter these circumstances with regularity. … My inclination is, after going through this, I hope what you are telling us is true."
Jones did not contest the accuracy of test results that showed the banned steroid, Turinabol, in his system. He did insist, though, that he did not knowingly take the substance and despite having two massage creams he used as well as 15 supplements he was taking tested for contamination, Jones was wholly unable to prove how a metabolite of the steroid ended up in his urine.
He was convincing enough in his effort, though, that commission executive officer Andy Foster, in making a recommendation for punishment to the six commissioners present, said, "I have a personal view and a professional view. My personal view is, I believe him." Jones later tweeted his thanks to Foster for believing him:
I want to thank csac for taking the time and hearing my case, and executive officer Andy Foster for saying he believes me.
— Jon Bones Jones (@JonnyBones) February 27, 2018
Jones was equally convincing at a U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) arbitration hearing back in October 2016, when he was insistent that despite the banned substances Clomiphene and Letrozole being found in his system, he didn't intend to cheat. He had, he said rather crassly, taken a "d— pill" given to him by a friend that he believed to be Cialis.
In the written arbitration ruling on Nov. 7, 2016, from McLaren Global Sports Solutions, the arbiters wrote:
"On the evidence before the Panel, the Applicant is not a drug cheat. He did not know that the tablet he took contained prohibited substances or that those substances had the capacity to enhance sporting performance. However by his imprudent use of what he pungently referred to as a "d— pill" he has not only lost a year of his career but an estimated nine million dollars. This outcome which he admits to be a wake-up call for him should serve as a warning to all others who participate in the same sport."
Remarkably, though, nine months after those words were written, Jones found himself in the identical situation, this time accused of an anti-doping violation in which he managed to convince Foster, a savvy, full-time regulator, that he wasn't knowingly cheating or attempting to gain a competitive advantage. After saying he believed Jones hadn't knowingly taken Turinabol, Foster recommended a harsh punishment that the California State Athletic Commission adopted by a 6-0 vote. Jones was fined $205,000 and had his license revoked.
Earlier in the proceeding, when it became clear that attorney Howard Jacobs' efforts to show that Jones had taken an otherwise legal supplement that had been contaminated with the steroid had failed, Sauter sounded his ominous warning about Jones.
Despite virtually all of the evidence against Jones, Sauter worried what might happen to the 30-year-old superstar should his fighting career be ended by a lengthy penalty. When the commission unanimously voted against Jones, Sauter's voice cracked as he cast his "aye" vote.
Jones will next face USADA and it's not likely to go any better than it did on Tuesday in front of the California commission or better than it did in 2016 in front of arbiters Michael J. Beloff, Lars Halgreen and Markus Manninen. Jones is a brilliant athlete, and he'll likely be able to overcome whatever penalty USADA gives him. A second offense could keep him out up to four years, but it seems two years is the more likely outcome.
If that is the case, he'd be eligible to return two years after the date of the violation, in July 2019. That's only 15 months from now. Anyone who saw Jones fight Cormier at UFC 214 knows that Jones, even past 30 years old, is talented enough to come back from that and fight at a high level.
The question that only Jones can answer is whether without a fight to train for, if he'll be able to remain out of trouble and above reproach.
Sauter's words are haunting, because it seems he's suggesting he thinks Jones won't be able to win whatever personal battle is raging inside.
The severity of Jones' punishment will be handled by experts who have heard it all before, and who will be able to separate fact from fiction.
No one may ever know how that Turinabol turned up in Jones' system.
This, though, is about something far more important than a fighter's legacy. This is about a young man's fight to find his way in life, to support his partner and his daughter, to earn a living to take care of himself.
That is the only fight that matters now. Hopefully Jones, and those closest to him, heard Sauter's words and took them for what they were meant to be: A plea to get help before it's too late.

What is…
cyberNOC is a scalable ICT system that pools flexible resources in a Virtual Power Plant and exploits the flexible capacity for different markets, helps solving imbalances and addresses grid stability issues. Flexible resources include decentralized generation units, renewables, industrial and commercial loads, energy storage systems, residential users and other resources.
The whole system operates on second-by-second basis, which enables quick responses.
cyberNOC collects measurement data, calculates baselines (forecasting), aggregates loads, advanced algorithms build a combination of available resources for each curtailment event and execute them in a timely manner. Other functionalities as product prediction, bidding, merit order, support the customer daily trading operation.
cyberNOC with its flexibility and scalability can be used for small demonstration purposes, pilot projects or can grow to an Enterprise level solution covering GW-scale deployments. New resources are seamlessly connected to the system using a wide array of communication protocols.
At the moment, the system is successfully operating in Slovenia, Austria, Germany and is implemented in various R&D, Demo and Pilot projects around Europe.
cyberNOC can be a valuable asset for many stakeholders in the energy industry.
Network operators
Due to various parameters, the importance of optimizing the network operations is getting higher and higher: growing supply-demand imbalance – coupled with the increased introduction of fluctuating energy sources and new technologies integrated to the grid are just some of them.
Maintaining the security of supply amplifies the role of a network operator within the energy value chain. This requires the deployment of new technologies in order to be able to deal with the upcoming issues of grid stability and the coordination of market actions.
cyberNOC empowers a network operator with end-to-end visibility which is essential for efficient grid management:
- cyberNOC enables you to respond quickly to new information.
- cyberNOC's real-time-information on connected low- and medium-voltage-level resources increases both the monitoring and the grid-control-capabilities and enables quick response to stress on the grid.
- By grouping loads according to the geographical location, various resource parameters, customer parameters, etc. cyberNOC supports the definition of suitable demand response products that can be activated when needed.
Third Energy Package for Electricity & Gas Markets and the Framework Guidelines on Network Balancing from the Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) are opening new opportunities for demand side management. They both encourage the use of tools for aggregation of small generation units and different loads and the use of the flexible capacity to participate in balancing services. In other words, the Network Code on Balancing encourages wider facilitation of demand response and supports virtual power plants like cyberNOC to become Balance Service Provider.
cyberNOC is an ideal solution to connect distributed generation and consumers in real-time, aggregate capacity and execute events in times of need. A retailer with access to consumers and markets, can use the aggregated capacity to bid on ancillary services markets, trade on Intra-Day- and Day-Ahead-Markets and minimize imbalance risks within the balance group.
By connecting consumers with flexible capacity to cyberNOC, they can be offered with new services, direct access to energy and capacity markets and new revenue-packages.
Smart Cities
Cities are looking into becoming their own energy supplier, either to being able to provide cheaper electricity to their citizens or to increase their independence.
cyberNOC enables cities to engage local generation units, roof top solar, heat pumps, electrical vehicles, large commercial and industrial loads and manage energy in a more efficient ways. This increases awareness of energy use, leads to low-carbon city and improves the green image. Additionally, managing your own generation and consumption increases independence on energy supply.
Vertically integrated utilities
cyberNOC enables optimization of the whole energy value chain, from generation, transmission to end consumption.
cyberNOC engages consumers to better manage peak demand and voltage regulation. Using smart metering and real-time information helps to manage grids better, reduces the number of outages and hence improves the quality of power supply.
cyberNOC supports the optimization of generation portfolio, even if there are lots of renewables connected.
While integrating consumers in different demand response programs, a utility can offer new services to customers and enables active participation in the energy and capacity markets. Additionally, demand side management helps managing the imbalance for within balancing responsible party.
Services we offer
cyberNOC can be purchased as a commercial developers license including re-sell options for diffferent markets. On request, we could establish consulting, training and programmers support. For more details please contact us!

The football season may just have begun but it's all hands on deck for Vale of Leithen on Saturday as they take on South of Scotland side Wigtown and Bladnoch, writes John Slorance.
The Scottish Cup first round preliminary tie will be played away from home and is a game of vital importance for so early on in the term as there is a lot at stake.
Doing well in the Scottish Cup means a lot for finance and prestige no matter what the stage may be.
And, apart from heading into unknown territory, the Vale also go into the game under new management.
The Innerleithen outfit kicked off the season with former Berwick Rangers manager Iain Little in charge.
Little however, has decided to take on a coaching job with Heriot-Watt University.
Vale have not let the grass grow under their feet though by immediately appointing a new manager in Mickey Lawson.
A one-time Stirling Albion, St Johnstone, Raith Rovers and Berwick Rangers player, Lawson has a wealth of experience as a manager as well in having had spells with clubs such as Spartans and Whitehill Welfare.
Talking of his side's current situation Vale vice chairman Stuart Robertson said: "Ian Little got a good package offer from Heriot-Watt University as a coach which he decided to take.
"We have brought in Mickey Lawson to replace him. Mickey is a very experienced manager, he knows football inside out and I am confident he will do a job for the Vale."
Glancing ahead to Saturday's cup tie, Robertson added: "Apart from knowing they play on a tight park, I don't know much about Wigtown and Bladnoch.
"Our director of football Mark Lamb watched them playing last Saturday and we have had a full report on this. It's a massive game and one we will be going all out to win."
Vale slumped to their third successive Lowland League defeat of the new season when going down 2-0 to Lawson's former side Whitehill Welfare at Whitestone Park last Saturday.
In a tight game two stunning late goals from Sean Wringe and Callum Connolly broke the home sides resistance and moved the visitors up to fourth place.
Last Wednesday Vale were sunk by Selkirk 4-1 at Yarrow Park.
Vale's Alan Flanagan had managed to score in the early stages, but the sending off of Daryl Devlin, on receiving a second yellow, killed any chance the visitors had.

You've all seen those self-help books sitting on the shelves at your local bookstore, written by some psychologist or pastor or MD or Jennifer Love-Hewitt BS-ing you about how to lose weight or find love or build your self-esteem. This is, uh, this is not going to be about any of them.
Aaron Goldfarb is the lovely fellow in that picture above, an Oklahoma City native who moved to New York City to… well, I'm not really sure why he moved to New York City, but he did and he wrote a book. Which is how we have arrived at this point. It's called "How to Fail: The Self Hurt Guide," and it's exactly that. It's also extremely funny and crass, which is why readers of this blog will probably like it.
A brief interview with the author after the jump.
There is no chapter in this book called "How to fail at blogging." Do you have any advice on that front?
Write interesting long-form posts. We're in an era of ADD laziness. No one wants to read your well-thought-out 5000 word piece on Egyptian politics. Funny viral videos of children vomiting, cat pictures with captions over top of them, and quoting humorous crap your fuss-bucket father said…that's a recipe for blogging success. Celebrity nip slips work too.
Recently, Angie Mock was scandalously overlooked in The Lost Ogle's hottest woman in the media rankings. Also recently, you were interviewed by Angie Mock. Now she is leaving Channel 25 to go to St. Louis! Which of these things is more to blame?
What a Mock-ery, right? However, having sat mere inches from her, I can tell you she's a fine looking woman, but not "hot" per se. More so just a gigantic noggin covered in pancake makeup. You were right to not include her. And, I was right for not being an offended when she speculated on air that I had booze in my coffee cup. I did.
Obviously, the first thing I flipped to in the book was the part called "How To Masturbate At Work." First of all, this is all great advice! Second of all, you said that when in a bathroom masturbating you like to adopt a "wide stance." Are you aware of what happened the last time someone made this claim and does it concern you?
That was totally a Freudian Slip. And, in that bathroom in Minneapolis, I was simply admiring Senator Craig's wingtips.
You went to Putnam North, also the alma mater of Olivia Munn. Her new show's reviews aren't that good. Were you the one that advised her on this career choice?
I'm not allowed to talk to her. Per my lawyer's advice. And, several judges orders. But, I do hope her show flops because I really want to become PCN's most famous alum. I have no clue how I'll jump Sam Bradford. I'm kinda hoping he'll commit a double homicide in Brentwood well after his career is over as Heisman winners are apt to do.
Your book has sold really well! Are you happy about that or sad that it will not allow you to write the follow-up, "How to Fail to Write a Successful Book?
I am writing a follow-up: "Failing to Fail" which tells all the sordid details behind the publishing of my book and the 30 Bars in 30 Days book tour I went on. Having said that, simply writing a book means you've failed to write a successful book. No one reads books any more. I'd be better off just blogging about celebrity nip slips.
So there you go! Click on the book cover to buy the book. It's good! But don't let your mom find it in your room… She won't approve.
Shaping the Minds is a
bi-weekly whenever-the-hell-I-get-around-to-it column featuring local people doing fun, creative, unusual, and/or interesting things in Oklahoma City.

As is standard Hollywood practice, the author of the book upon which this film is based was treated shabbily. All the usual tricks were used: a dummy company was set up to disguise the fact that it was really MGM buying the film rights; a contract was drawn up to prevent the author from having any control over the screenplay - and, of course, creative bookkeeping made certain none of the film's profits reached the author. But these sordid facts are of importance only to the well-screwed author; let us put them aside and look instead at the transition from book to film, since this is where the heavy hand of corporate filmmaking is so revealing.
The originators of the film, its star Charlton Heston, and its producer Walter Seltzer had been pressing MGM for years to make a film on the theme of overpopulation based on my novel Make Room! Make Room!. (That they neglected to inform me of this fact is part of the author-screwing syndrome: see paragraph 1.) MGM, in its infinite wisdom, thought this theme of little importance. So in an attempt to breathe life into the "inconsequential" topic, the film's originators introduced the theme of cannibalism: "soylent green," the food that the authorities give the masses, is made of human remains. Heads nodded in high places at the studio, agreements were signed - and the film went into production.
This is when I came onto the scene, to be instantly impressed by two inescapable facts: the truly professional ability of everyone connected with the making of the film and the truly appalling quality of the script, which transmogrified, denigrated, and degutted the novel from which it had been taken. That a successful film was made despite what might be considered a major obstacle can be credited to the art and set designers, the director Richard Fleischer, and to the fine actors (as well as to, I submit with suitable humility, the strength of the novel).
Although forbidden by contract to make any changes in the script, I nevertheless pointed out a number of inaccuracies and mistakes I discovered. Credit goes to the filmmakers for taking instant action on them. The film's opening is a prime example. In the original script the action began in Manhattan, no date given. I pointed out to Walter Seltzer that my novel was special specifically because it took place in the very near future, at the turn of the century. By ignoring this element, the film would lose the sense of immediacy and relevance for which the rights to my book had, presumably, been purchased in the first place.
Soon after acting upon my remarks, Walter chided me because I had made him spend a lot of money. It proved to be money well spent - on Chuck Braverman. His impressive opening montage, comprised of still shots tracing the settling and growth of the USA, ending with the overpopulated and polluted New York City, firmly places the film in time.
There are other examples of the filmmakers' dedication. When I was shown the set for the "meatlegger" sequence I was suitably impressed. However, I thought that the pile of plastic bags was out of place since plastic is a petroleum product and all of the world's petroleum had been used up by this time. The bags were instantly whisked away.
I propagandised everyone in sight, from grips to actors, by giving them copies of the original book. When Chuck Connors got his, he called across the set to the director, "Hey, Dick, why aren't you using this title instead of the crappy Soylent Green?" The answer, which Fleischer perhaps did not know, was the decision made in high places that my title might be associated with a long-dead TV series named "Make Room for Daddy." Moral: when you throw away a good title you always get a bad one.
Real evidence of the dubiety of the screenplay was driven home to me when I overheard a remark made by Edward G. Robinson to the director. His worry was a simple one: there was nothing in the script that gave him any idea of what his role was to be. Summoning up my courage I introduced myself and offered to provide answers about his character. He ignored my rudeness, invited me to lunch with him, then listened closely when I explained the character he played as I had visualised him in the book: Sol is the sole survivor of the good days, the only person who had lived in the world of plenty. He can survive in this new world of pollution, over-population, and chronic food shortages. That doesn't mean he has to like it.
This conversation led, a few days later, to an act of cinematic creation that it was my privilege to witness. They were shooting a key scene where Sol and Thorn (Heston) are eating some pilfered blackmarket food. The script was devoid of directions or content, the dialogue banal. Yet before our eyes the director and the actors built a new scene that embodied the essence of the book - and the film. Heston pantomimed simple pleasure at the loathsome artificial food - all he had ever known. Robinson virtually embodied repulsion and despair. When Fleischer called out "Cut!" the professional audience, only carpenters, grips, and technicians - no visitors - burst into spontaneous applause. This was artistic appreciation at its very best. The impressive results grace the film.
A great strength of this film is its strong visual content, the correct utilisation of the large screen, the escape from TV's talking heads. Much credit to the art director, director, and cameraman. The green pall that hangs in the air makes the viewer aware at all times of this polluted and overcrowded world. It also adds emphasis to the beautiful Braverman graphics - with Beethoven's "Pastoral" playing in the background - during the suicide parlour scene. A perfect example of visual strength overriding content. In the book, Sol is a loner, a survivor, and dies after taking a public stance for the very first time in his life. The one thing that he would never do would be to commit suicide. Completely ignoring this fact, the inept screenwriter brings in that old sf cliché, the suicide parlour. Something I would never do. Ironically, it works in the film since it is new to cinema audiences. The scene, which includes images of the clean and beautiful world as it once had been, also adds to the film's impact.
This continual visual onslaught conveys the message of the book - modified for film. The idiotic cannibal-crackers (not in the book) and the "big" revelation that they are made from corpses will have been twigged by the audience early on. This, and the murder and chase sequences, the "furniture" girls (not in the book) are not what the film is about - and are completely irrelevant. The film, like the book, shows what the world will be like if we continue in our insane manner to pollute and overpopulate Spaceship Earth. This is the "message" of film and book. Both of them deliver this message in a manner unique to science fiction: the technique of background-as-foreground. This means simply that the story played out by the characters is not the major story. It is the means to capture the reader / viewer's attention, to reveal a greater truth in the setting where the foreground takes place. Other examples of background-as-foreground films- from-books are 1984 (1956) and On the Beach (1959).
All right then - what kind of a film is Soylent Green? Put all thoughts of the book aside and judge the film on its own merits. Its greatest strengths are the design and the acting. The cornball chase sequences, the over-dramatic ending, the numerous infelicities of writing and plotting can be ignored. The film is a visual success. The background of this terrible world is punched home like an inescapable drumbeat. The after-shock is very strong. Almost every person that I have talked to had the same delayed reaction: a week or more after viewing the film, memory of the action had dimmed - but the feeling of horror of this world had grown and intensified. The background had become the foreground.
Am I pleased with this film? I would say fifty percent. The message of the book has been delivered. It was an exciting experience to see a major film produced by a major studio. It was a humbling experience to meet Edward G. Robinson. A great actor and a great human being. He alone knew that he had terminal cancer when he made the film. He must have chosen to make one more film rather than sit quietly at home and await death. He died before the film was released and it is a tribute to the hard-nosed film executives that they did try to cut out the suicide-parlour scene before the film was released. But it is such an integral part of the film that it could not be done. (Credit also to critics and film-goers, none of whom complained about bad taste.)
Ultimately, Soylent Green works as a film. It moves, it keeps the interest, it is visually exciting. The message it delivers raises it above simple entertainment.
But it was a hard battle. With my hand raised, I promise never to let anyone screw me or one of my books again. I look forward to the day when, sink or swim, I can translate one of my other novels into an interesting and successful film.

Target An Audience That Matches A Specific Profile With Facebook's Lookalike Audiences For Ads
Advertisers who've relied solely on interest & demographic targeting will be getting a boost thanks to a new Facebook Advertising feature, Lookalike audiences. This feature will allow advertisers to segment based off of a similar customer profile instead of specific data points from a user.
Advertisers will be able to target users that match specific profiles that have previously been uploaded in the Custom Audiences tool. The Custom Audiences tool lets advertisers upload email, user names or user IDs into Power Editor to create audiences for targeting. The new Lookalike feature will analyze the Custom Audience and find other users who meet the uploaded customer list.
Facebook stated the following about the new product:
With Lookalike Audiences, advertisers can expand their reach to specific geographic areas or audiences who are not already fans of the company's page while still maintaining the desired demographic profile of their existing audience using Facebook's algorithms. When using Custom Audiences, the data is hashed so no information is shared between the advertiser and Facebook.
Lookalike audiences will be available in the Power Editor and are currently in beta.
We're listening.

11. Cinnamon Oil With Olive Oil
As you can see, cinnamon has the effects in treating oral thrush because of its antifungal and antiparasitic properties which can control the candida albicans' development.

13. Oregano Oil
In the list of the natural and effective home remedies for oral thrush, oregano oil is mentioned too. This oil is beneficial in inhibiting the development of the yeast which causes oral thrush. According to Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry's study in 2001, researchers presented that oregano oil has antifungal properties which can fight against candida albicans [6]. In addition, this oil is able to boost your immune system. Therefore, you should use this oil as the following direction in order to get rid of oral thrush soon:
- Firstly, take three drops of this oil

Another method which you can do at home is to consume oregano oil capsules. But you had better ask your doctor for his/ her advice before taking these capsules.
14. Natural Home Remedies for Oral Thrush – Oregano Oil And Olive Oil
Oregano oil brings a lot of benefits to those who are suffering from oral thrush such as inhibiting the yeast's development, boosting the immune system, and so on. In 2010, the Brazilian Journal of Microbiology published a study about "In vitro activity of origanum vulgare essential oil against candida species". The results showed that the essential oil obtained from Origanum vulgare may be a natural alternative for treating candidiasis thanks to its antifungal properties to protect against Candida spp. in vitro [7]/. When you combine oregano oil with olive oil, you can get a better result. Here is the way which you can follow in order to get rid of this problem.
- Now pour two or three drops of oregano oil into a tablespoon of olive oil
- Next mix them well together
- After that, apply this mixture of oils inside your mouth and on your tongue
- Then leave it on for about 10 minutes
- Finally, wash off with warm water
- Do this procedure twice a day daily until you get your expected result
15. Olive Leaf
Another treatment for the oral thrush is using olive leaf. Olive leaf was often used to cure Malaria and was also successful against a few of the worst cases in the 19th century. According to many researchers, one of the greatest ways to cur Candida Albicans is using olive leaf. The disease is treated due to the presence of anti-microbial properties in olive leaf.
This leaf can destroy the microorganisms which cause oral thrush because of its strong antifungal properties. Plus, it has an active ingredient, sometimes called oleuropein, which can boost your immune system. Therefore, applying this remedy is also a good idea. Now let's make olive leaf tea as the following recipe:
- First place one or two teaspoons of olive leaf in a cup
- Next pour boiling water into this cup
- After that, allow it to steep from 10 to 15 minutes
- Then strain the tea
- Finally, drink some cups of tea every day until your situation is better
Sometimes, you also take olive leaf extract up to three times per day. But you had better ask your doctor for the dosage that is suitable for your situation before you take it.
16. Cranberry
Another remedy in the list of top natural home remedies for oral thrush is using cranberry. It has a compound which is called arbutin. This compound can help to kill candida albicans. Pathogens and Disease published a study in 2014 about how cranberries affected oral yeast and the results concluded that cranberries did have one strong antimetabolic effect on the yeast by inhibiting adhesion while they did not demonstrate antifungal agents [8]. A similar study published in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine in 2012 found that while cranberries didn't have one effect on the oral yeast growth, the proanthocyanidins present in them did decrease yeast from adhering to regions in the mouth and inhibit biofilm formation [9]. Cranberry juice, fruit, and supplements can give a healthy digestive and intestinal system. They have a low pH balance, which means that their acidic nature enhances healthy digestive secretions, one important component for removing excessive yeast.

Feb. 13 — Two nonprofit organizations have sued the Securities and Exchange Commission seeking access to correspondence between agency officials and environmental groups regarding lobbying over climate risk disclosures.
The Energy & Environment Legal Institute and the Free Market Environmental Law Clinic seek e-mails and text messages sent and received by, among others, SEC Chairman Mary Jo White, SEC Commissioner Luis Aguilar and former Chairman Mary Schapiro that contain phrases such as "global warming" and "climate disclosure," according to their complaint, filed Feb. 12 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, and their Dec. 29 Freedom of Information Act request to the SEC.
The groups told the court that the SEC has not turned over the requested materials.
An SEC representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
In their Dec. 29 FOIA request, the groups said Ceres—an organization that advocates for sustainable environmental practices—has urged the SEC to implement tougher disclosure requirements for climate change.
"The SEC's current and possible future responses to Ceres are an issue of public concern as is whether the SEC has engaged in communications with outside interest groups regarding changes to the disclosure policies these activists advocate," the groups said. "The public is also interested in the broader issue of agency `capture' by special pleaders and deserves to review public records which will detail the efforts SEC has taken to respond to Ceres's activism in the realm of climate change and investor disclosure statements."
Ceres spokesman Aaron Pickering declined to comment on the lawsuit.
A Ceres report in early 2014 faulted the SEC for not doing enough to enforce its requirement for corporate reporting of climate risk.
The report charged that the majority of financial reporting on climate change from S&P 500 companies is too brief and largely superficial. It also stated that the commission has paid "minimal attention to climate risk reporting in the last four years" and hasn't made climate disclosure a priority in its process for reviewing companies' reporting.
According to its website, the Energy and Environment Legal Institute seeks through litigation to "address and correct onerous federal and state governmental actions that negatively impact energy and the environment."
The Free Market Environmental Law Clinic says on its website that it works alongside the George Mason University School of Law and other law schools to provide a "counter-weight to the litigious environmental movement that fosters an economically destructive regulatory regime in the United States."
The two organizations are represented by Christopher Cochran Horner, Keswick, Va.

Optimism is a strategy for making a better future. Because unless you believe that the future can be better, you are unlikely to step up and take responsibility for making it so.
Noam Chomsky
I am, by nature, an optimist. I don't really have a choice in that – it's just the way I was put together – but I am grateful to have been born with that outlook. I just can't imagine how awful it must be to be otherwise, always anticipating the worst possible outcome in any given situation.
But I've been thinking lately about "data porn", as Eve Ensler describes it in The Vagina Monologues:
2 million women raped and tortured
1 out of 3 women
a woman raped every minute
every second
one out of 2
one out of 5
the same
I've been thinking about data porn in terms of optimism and pessimism. How can I be an optimist when such statistics are still true?
I've come to the conclusion that my optimism lies in the word yet. The pessimist thinks, "We haven't eradicated violence against women." The optimist thinks, "We haven't eradicated violence against women yet."
"Yet" gives us a reason to rise and strive and insist that things get better, and a reason to work to make it happen. The Suffragettes didn't think, "Women don't have the vote." They thought, "Women don't have the vote yet." Saudi Arabian women are not thinking, "Women in this country are not allowed to drive." They're thinking, "Women in this country are not allowed to drive yet."
Let me try it with some more sentences.
We have not yet put a stop to female genital mutilation in the 29 countries where it is practiced.
We have not yet ensured that women's reproductive rights are enshrined in law in all countries in the world… or even in all states in the USA.
We have not yet empowered women to refuse the devaluation of their bodies.
We have not yet ensured that girls across the world can go to school without having to brave verbal taunts, stone throwing, kidnapping or shooting.
We have not yet stopped blaming rape victims for the trauma they've endured, accusing them of dressing inappropriately or drinking too much or simply being out of the protective custody of the home.
We have not yet stopped describing men who celebrate their sexuality as studs or players and women who do the same as sluts.
We have not yet assumed equal responsibility for housework and childcare in homes where both partners work.
We do not yet have equal representation of men and women in governments or positions of corporate leadership.
We do not yet encourage girls to enter the sciences.
We have not yet stopped attacking female public figures because of their physical appearance or dress sense.
We have not yet achieved equal pay for women. (Although if enough people watch this light, funny and inspiring short video all that might change sooner rather than later.)
Such a tiny word.
Packs such a lot of bang for the buck.

Chris Christie blames Corzine for New Year's toll hikes
The news might have hit motorists like a rock smacking against a windshield, but the recent toll increases on the New Jersey Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway should not come as a complete surprise.
They were approved more than three years ago.
Gov. Chris Christie, a Republican, has reminded listeners of that history during various radio interviews in recent weeks. During a Dec. 23 interview with WFAN's Boomer Esiason and Craig Carton, the governor corrected Carton when the co-host said Christie was raising tolls by 50 percent.
"Oh, and by the way, I'm not raising tolls 50 percent," Christie said.
Carton asked, "Who is?"
"Jon Corzine did," the governor responded.
PolitiFact New Jersey found that Christie has his facts straight.
The toll hikes, which took effect New Year's Day, represent the second phase of a two-part rate increase approved by the New Jersey Turnpike Authority in October 2008 under then-Gov. Jon Corzine. A Democrat, Corzine, signed off on the plan.
The first phase of the toll hikes began on Dec. 1, 2008 with 40 percent and 43 percent increases on the Turnpike and the Parkway, respectively. The second phase represents a 53 percent hike on the Turnpike and a 50 percent increase on the Parkway.
The toll increase was initially scheduled to support a $1.25 billion contribution to a Hudson River commuter train tunnel project, known as Access to the Region's Core, or ARC. But citing potential cost overruns, Christie terminated the project in October 2010.
In September, the turnpike authority agreed to redirect $975 million from the canceled tunnel to local road and bridge projects. Those projects are part of a five-year capital plan unveiled by Christie earlier this year.
The increased toll revenue also is going toward the authority's $7 billion capital program, which includes a Turnpike widening project between exits 6 and 9.
Our ruling
In a radio interview, Christie directed blame for the new toll hikes to his predecessor, claiming "I'm not raising tolls 50 percent....Jon Corzine did."
The governor's planning to spend the money, but he didn't raise the tolls. With Corzine's approval, the New Jersey Turnpike Authority approved the two-phase toll increase in October 2008.
We rate the statement True.

Breakin' the law, breakin' the law!
Here's what I don't get. Check out this graf of the Post story on Torricelli's impending retirement from the 2002 race:
New Jersey has a 48-day deadline for replacing a state-wide nominee on the ballot, and it's only 36 days until the election. But party officials are hopeful that the state Supreme Court would allow Democrats to replace Torricelli on the ballot with a new nominee.
How can they be hopeful? What exactly is the state's constitution worth if a party can change the rules when they're down in the polls? This is very, very disturbing.

R – L: Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo; Minister of Interior, Lt Gen. Abdulrahman Dambazau (rtd); UN Assistant Secretary-General and Regional Humanitarian Coordinator for the Sahel, Toby Lanzer
The Acting President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, has said that the outcome of the Regional Protection Dialogue on Lake Chad Basin would be an important building block to create solutions to protection and humanitarian crisis arising from the refugee challenges.
Speaking in Abuja at the opening of the Ministerial Meeting of the Regional Dialogue on Protection in the Lake Chad Basin, Prof Osinbajo said he expected the conference to not only proffer solutions to the refugee problem bedeviling the Region but also submit plans for the future.
According to him, "the conference is crucial because the people of the Lake Chad region face problems of existential proportions" ranging from malnutrition, loss of livelihood and out-of-school children.
He commended the Lake Chad countries (Nigeria, Chad, Cameroon and Niger) for giving refuge to Nigerians who were displaced by the Boko Haram insurgency, adding that such a gesture "demonstrates clearly that we are indeed one people".
While quoting the UN Coordinator on Humanitarian Affairs, the Acting President said that the crisis in the Lake Chad Basin is under under-reported and under-funded.
He disclosed that arrangements are underway for Nigerians who fled to neighbouring countries to return home, as soon as the modalities are finalized with the affected countries.
Earlier, in a welcome address, the Minister of Interior, Lt Gen. Abdulrahman Bello Dambazau (rtd), said the Government of Nigeria, in collaboration with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) organized the Dialogue to identify the protection risks in the Lake Chad Basin resulting from conflict-induced crisis with a view to proffering solutions to them.
He commended the efforts of the UNHCR in assisting the Lake Chad Basin Countries (LCBC) to address the protection challenges posed by the crisis in the Basin.
At the end of the Dialogue, a twenty-four point Action statement was issued with a timeline of six months for review at the national level while twelve months would be for the regional level.
Minister of Interior, Lt Gen. Abdulrahman Dambazau (rtd)
