University of Houston social work researcher Brene Brown looks at "messy" topics in human relationships, like vulnerability, courage, authenticity, and shame. In this TEDxHouston talk, she begins by sharing a public-speaking experience in which the organizer didn't want to call her a researcher because no one would come hear her talk.
You won't feel the same way once you've watched this talk. She looks at shame, fear and vulnerability--the feeling that "I'm not good enough"-- and its opposite, what gives people courage. If you watch this talk through the lens of public speaking, you'll gain lots of insights as to why we hesitate or charge in, volunteer or hang back, apologize or assert ourselves. One of her conclusions: Embracing your vulnerability may be a necessity in the effort to get past your perceived weaknesses. She describes her own issues with vulnerability, something I think many women will recognize. It's a powerful talk. What do you think about her findings and discoveries?

US 7110947 B2 Abstract A frame erasure concealment technique for a bitstream-based feature extractor in a speech recognition system particularly suited for use in a wireless communication system operates to "delete" each frame in which an erasure is declared. The deletions thus reduce the length of the observation sequence, but have been found to provide for sufficient speech recognition based on both single word and "string" tests of the deletion technique.
Claims(3) 1. A method of generating speech coding parameters of an erased frame in a bitstream-based front end of a speech recognition system, the method comprising the steps of:
detecting an erased frame;
measuring the Euclidean distance between the line spectrum pairs (LSPs) of adjacent frames (n−1) and n;
defining a steady-state threshold T associated with an acceptable difference between the LSPs of the adjacent frames;
deleting the LSPs of the nth frame in an observation sequence if the measured distance is less than or equal to T; and
generating the speech coding parameters with a standard hidden Markov model process.
2. The method as defined in
3. The method as defined in
Description This application claims the priority of Provisional Application No. 60/170,170, filed Dec. 10, 1999. The present invention relates to automatic speech recognition and, more particularly, to a frame erasure concealment technique for use with a bitstream-based feature extraction process in wireless communication applications. In the provisioning of many new and existing communication services, voice prompts are used to aid the speaker in navigating through the service. In particular, a speech recognizing element is used to guide the dialogue with the user through voice prompts, usually questions aimed at defining which information the user requires. An automatic speech recognizer is used to recognize what is being said and the information is used to control the behavior of the service rendered to the user. Modern speech recognizers make use of phoneme-based recognition, which relies on phone-based sub-word models to perform speaker-independent recognition over the telephone. In the recognition process, speech "features" are computed for each incoming frame. Modern speech recognizers also have a feature called "rejection". When rejection exists, the recognizer has the ability to indicate that what was uttered does not correspond to any of the words in the lexicon. The users of wireless communication services expect to have access to all of the services available to the users of land-based wireline systems, and to receive a similar quality of service. The voice-activated services are particularly important to the wireless subscribers since the dial pad is generally away from sight when the subscriber listens to a vocal prompt, or is out of sight when driving a car. With speech recognition, there are virtually no restrictions on mobility, because callers do not have to take their eyes off the road to punch in the keys on the terminal. Currently, one area of research is focusing on the front-end design for a wireless speech recognition system. In general, many prior art front-end designs fall into one of two categories, as illustrated in In speech coding, channel impairments are modeled by bit error insertion and frame erasure insertion devices, where the number of bit errors and frame erasures depends primarily on the noise, co-channel and adjacent channel interference, as well as frequency-selective fading. Fortunately, most speech coders are combined with a channel coder, where a "frame erasure" is declared if any of the most sensitive bits with respect to the channel is in error. The speech coding parameters of an erased frame must then be extrapolated in order to generate the speech signal for the erased frame. A family of error concealment techniques are known in the prior art and can generally be defined as either "substitution" or "extrapolation" techniques. In general, the parameters of the erased frames are reconstructed by repeating the parameters of the previous frame with scaled-down gain values. In conventional speech recognition systems, a decoded speech-based front-end uses the synthesized speech for extracting a feature. However, in a bitstream-based front-end, the parameters themselves are present. The need remaining in the prior art, therefore, is to provide a technique for handling frame erasures in a bitstream-based front end speech recognition systems. The need remaining in the prior art is addressed by the present invention, which relates to automatic speech recognition and, more particularly, to a frame erasure concealment technique for use with a bitstream-based feature extraction process in wireless communication applications. In accordance with the present invention, an error in a frame is declared if the Euclidean distance between the line spectrum pair (LSP) coefficients in adjacent frames is less than or equal to a predefined threshold T. In such a case, one of the frames in then simply deleted from the bitstream. In particular, and based on the missing feature theory, a decoding algorithm is reformulated for the hidden Markov model (HMM) when a frame erasure is detected. Other and further features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent during the course of the following discussion and by reference to the accompanying drawings. Referring now to the drawings, A bitstream-based approach for providing speech recognition in a wireless communication system in accordance with the present invention is illustrated in With this understanding of the encoding process within an IS-641 speech encoder, it is possible to study in detail the bitstream recognition process of the present invention. Referring to Although this description is particular to the IS-641 speech coder, it is to be understood that the feature extraction process of the present invention is suitable for use with any code-excited linear prediction (CELP) speech coder. The model illustrated in Tables I and II below include the speech recognition accuracies for each ASR pair, where "Cx/Cy" is defined as an ASR that is trained in Cx and then tested in Cy:
Table I includes a comparison of the recognition accuracy for each of the conventional front-ends, using the ASR location identifiers described above in association with As mentioned above, in addition to the spectral envelope, a speech coder models the excitation signal as the indices and gains of the adaptive and fixed codebooks, where these two gains represent the "voiced" (adaptive codebook gain—ACG) and "unvoiced" (fixed codebook gain—FCG) information. These parameters are quantized and then transmitted to the decoder. Therefore, in accordance with the present invention, it is possible to obtain the voiced/unvoiced information directly from the bitstream.
Table III, included below, illustrates the improved results from incorporating the ACG and FCG parameters into the feature set. Compared with the baseline, the new feature set reduces the word and string error rates by 10% for each. Referring back to Tables I and II, these results for the arrangement of the present technique of incorporating ACG and FCG are now comparable to the conventional prior art models.
In order to properly analyze these recognition results, it is possible to use hypothesis tests for analyzing word accuracy (using matched-pair testing) and string accuracy (using, for example, McNemar's testing). A complete description of McNemar's testing as used in speech recognition can be found in the article entitled "Some statistical issues in the comparison of speech recognition algorithms", by L. Gillick and S. Cox appearing in Proceedings of the ICASSP, p. 532 et seq., May 1989. For matched-pair testing, the basic premise is to test whether the performance of a system is comparable to another or not. In other words, a hypothesis H0 is constructed as follows:
As an example, these test statistics can be computed for a "wireless baseline" system (C3) and bitstream-based front-end system (C3-3) of the present invention, including both ACG and FCG, using the data from Table III.
The results of these computations are shown above in Table IV, where from these results it is clear that the incorporation of ACG and FCG in the arrangement of the present invention provides significantly improved recognition performance over the baseline with a confidence of 95%. Moreover, Table V (shown below) illustrates that the proposed front-end of the present invention yields comparable word and string accuracies to conventional wireline performance.
The performance of the bitstream-based front end of a speech recognizer can also be analyzed for a "noisy" environment, such as a car, since oftentimes a wireless phone is used in such noisy conditions. To simulate a noisy environment, a car noise signal can be added to every test digit string That is, the speech recognition system is trained with "clean" speech signals, then tested with noisy signals. The amount of additive noise can be measured by the segmental signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Table VI, below, shows the recognition performance comparison when the input SNR varies from 0 dB to 30 dB in steps of 10 dB.
As shown, for an SNR above 20 dB, the bitstream-based front-end arrangement of the present invention (C-3/C-3) shows a better performance than the conventional wireless front end. However, its performance is slightly lower than the conventional wireline front end. With lower values of SNR, the arrangement of the present invention does not compare as favorably, particularly due to the fact that the inventive front-end utilizes voicing information, but the speech coder itself fails to correctly capture the voicing information at low levels of SNR. The utilization of a speech enhancement algorithm with the noisy speech signal prior to speech coding, however, has been found to improve the accuracy of the extracted voicing information. An exemplary speech enhancement algorithm that has been found useful with the processing of noisy speech is based on minimum mean-square error log-spectral amplitude estimation and has, in fact, been applied to some standard speech coders. As mentioned above, channel impairments can be modeled by bit error insertion and frame erasure insertion devices, where the number of bit errors and frame erasures depends mainly on the noise, co-channel and adjacent channel interference, and frequency selective fading. Fortunately, most speech coders are combined with a channel coder. The most sensitive bits are thus strongly protected by the presence of the channel coder. A "frame erasure" is declared if any of the most sensitive bits with respect to the channel is in error. In the context of the bitstream-based arrangement of the present invention, the bits for LSP (i.e., bits 1–26) and gain (i.e., bits 121–148) are defined as most sensitive to channel errors. Therefore, for the purposes of the present invention, it is sufficient to consider a "frame erasure" condition to exist if these bits are in error, since the recognition features in the bitstream-based front end are extracted from these bits. In the prior art, the speech coding parameters of an erased frame are extrapolated in order to generate the speech signal for the erased frame. The parameters of erased frames are reconstructed by repeating the parameters of the previous frame with scaled-down gain values. In particular, the gain values depend on the burstiness of the frame erasure, which is modeled as a finite state machine. That is, if the n-th frame is detected as an erased frame, the IS-641 speech coder estimates the spectral parameters by using the following equation:
As an alternative, the present invention proposes a "deletion method" for overcoming frame erasures in a bitstream-based speech recognition front end. Based on the missing feature theory, a decoding algorithm is reformulated for the hidden Markov model (HMM) when a frame erasure is detected. That is, for a given HMM λ=(A, B, π), the probability of the observation sequence O={O1, . . . , ON} is given by: To understand the "deletion" method of frame erasure method of the present invention, presume that the l-th frame is detected as a missing frame. The first step in the deletion method is to compute the probability of only the correct observation vector sequence for the model λ. The observation vector sequence can be divided into two groups as follows:
By substituting (6) and (10) into (9), the following relationship is obtained: The deletion method of the present invention can be interpreted in terms of a VFR analysis. In particular, the Euclidean distance of the LSP's between the (n−1)-th and the n-th frames is given by:
where Ω is a p-dimensional LSP vector space, all of the missing frames will be deleted. In terms of computational complexity, it can be concluded that using the deletion process of the present invention reduces the length of the observation sequence by N(1−pe), where pe is the frame erasure rate (FER). To simulate frame erasure conditions, error patterns depending on the FER and its burstiness can be generated for various test strings. For example, While the exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been described above in detail, it is to be understood that such description does not limit the scope of the present invention, which may be practiced in a variety of embodiments. Indeed, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that changes in the form and details of the above description may be made therein without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.

Hi there,
My sister is marrying an American and as a holiday present, I thought it would be nice to send his family in Florida something "Canadian" (i.e. an assortment of ice wine, smoked salmon etc). However, I'm having problems finding a company that will ship to the US without charging an arm and a leg. Anyone out there with any suggestions?

Review by: Scotty | Looking at the card, it does not seem too difficult. Don't let that fool you! This is a demanding test of golf with greens that take years to learn. In the past, U.S. open regional qualifiers have been held here and the average scores by the field have been some of the highest in the region. This course gets a lot of play from membership and continues to be in great shape consistantly. | |

AHL Attendance Up Nearly 5%; Hershey Tops League Gate For Sixth Straight Season
The AHL, considered the triple-A level of North American hockey, saw its teams average 5,638 fans per game during the '11-12 regular season, up nearly 5% from last season. The Hershey Bears led all teams at the gate for the sixth straight season. The club saw attendance rise slightly this season, marking the seventh straight season of gains at Giant Center. Eleven clubs saw double-digit percentage gains at the gate, led by the Rochester Americans, who saw a 44.5% jump. The Milwaukee Admirals saw attendance rise 7.4% at Bradley Center for their best average since the '01-02 season. The Bridgeport Sound Tigers had the club's second-best attendance mark since it was founded in '01, with average gate up 17.7%. Only seven of the 30 clubs saw attendance decline this season. The Connecticut Whale saw the sharpest drop, down 19.7% at XL Center in Hartford. After moving from Winnipeg following last season, the St. John's IceCaps ranked ninth in league attendance during the team's first season in Newfoundland. Listed below is team-by-team attendance for the '11-12 AHL regular season, with comparisons to last year (THE DAILY).

Persimmons? Where can I get them?
So the new spooky cakes need persimmons. I've looked all through the general store to plant them and can't find these things. Anyone know where I can get them?
Replies (18)
@Carole Bartlett Foss - Someone else complained about their Peach Lemonade not getting counted today. I didn't have that problem when I expanded. All I can recommend is that you make sure you have them all made, take a screenshot of your Storage Box showing that you have enough Peach Lemonades made, then contact Zynga Support and ask them to mark that specific task complete for you.
@Jean Parker Vrahiotes - While the lack of a Persimmons Tree is a FV2 issue, the Peach Tree not being available until Level 11 is not. You have simply been completing the tasks Marie and Walter give you faster than you have been advancing levels. Same thing happened to me, so I just continued farming until I hit Level 11 and could buy and plant those trees.
well I still do not have persimmon tree and cannot expand without the peach tree and you cannot get that until level 11..this is beginning to get boring..takes too long to get points to expand...and all my goals are unattainable because the game has not released the ingredients to harvest to attain them stupid morons...
I am getting ready to expand the land that calls for 9 peach lemonade. I have made 8 of them but when I clicked on the land it still show as zero..is this what it should show at this time?
I saw a post on the Zynga Forum that said the Persimmon Tree would be available tomorrow. We'll see if that holds true.
Here is the image of the tree you are looking for ! >> http://www.levelupcity.com/2012/10/farmville-2-take-a-look-at-this-new-item-for-a-halloween-theme/
I have to agree with Bethany, I have a feeling Zynga is waiting on purpose. Keep your eyes open though!

DVD mega-changers have been around for years, but they have not exactly made a splash. While they tidily stow 300 or 400 DVD's -- perhaps your whole collection, bonus discs and all -- navigating through the titles can be difficult. You see an alphabetical list, but movies frequently go unrecognized there, appearing as ''unknown'' until you manually enter their proper names.
To address these problems, a new product has emerged: the mega-changer manager. Until affordable technologies arise to allow users to rip movies to hard drives the way they copy music to an iPod, these changer managers might be the best way to organize a large video collection.
The FireBall DVDM-100 from Escient (www.escient.com) hit the market in December. Designed to operate up to three Sony or Kenwood 400-DVD changers simultaneously, it connects to the Internet to assist in disc recognition (it's better than the stand-alone changer, but still not perfect) as well as to download graphics, movie synopses and other information. Instead of a boring list, your collection now appears in a colorful, kiosk-like catalog.
At $2,000, it's a big-ticket item, especially when you add on $800 to $1,500 per compatible mega-changer. And it's not perfect: you can still browse only by movie title, although a midyear update should give you more options, like searching for movies with particular actors or directors.
The second mega-changer manager will arrive in May: the $2,500 Video ReQuest. The device, from ReQuest Multimedia (www.request.com), will allow you to sort by actors and directors as well as genres and ratings, and will support up to four Sony changers, for a total of 1,600 DVD's. Escient's FireBall takes minutes to set up and operate; the Video ReQuest is more complicated.
While the immediate impact of these two products is to make mega-changers easier to use, both Escient and ReQuest have designed platforms able to evolve alongside home video. Like CD's that can be ripped to a hard drive, DVD's may someday be transferable to a hard-drive jukebox.
''Everyone has that on their radar,'' says John Reine, ReQuest Multimedia's co-founder, adding that ReQuest software can manage movies wherever they reside.
In fact, the first hard-drive movie jukebox is already here: the Kaleidescape System, available at www.kaleidescape.com. The $27,000 starter kit consists of three components: a DVD reader, a server and a movie player. The server stores 160 to 440 movies copied bit for bit from DVD.
Players pull movies from the server using standard Ethernet wiring, and an unlimited number of them can be installed in the house ($3,995 each after the first). WILSON ROTHMAN

Control of mosquitoes that transmit malaria has been the mainstay in the fight against the disease, but alternative methods are required in view of emerging insecticide resistance. Entomopathogenic fungi are candidate alternatives, but to date, few trials have translated the use of these agents to field-based evaluations of their actual impact on mosquito survival and malaria risk. Mineral oil-formulations of the entomopathogenic fungi Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana were applied using five different techniques that each exploited the behaviour of malaria mosquitoes when entering, host-seeking or resting in experimental huts in a malaria endemic area of rural Tanzania.
Survival of mosquitoes was reduced by 39-57% relative to controls after forcing upward house-entry of mosquitoes through fungus treated baffles attached to the eaves or after application of fungus-treated surfaces around an occupied bed net (bed net strip design). Moreover, 68 to 76% of the treatment mosquitoes showed fungal growth and thus had sufficient contact with fungus treated surfaces. A population dynamic model of malaria-mosquito interactions shows that these infection rates reduce malaria transmission by 75-80% due to the effect of fungal infection on adult mortality alone. The model also demonstrated that even if a high proportion of the mosquitoes exhibits outdoor biting behaviour, malaria transmission was still significantly reduced.
Entomopathogenic fungi strongly affect mosquito survival and have a high predicted impact on malaria transmission. These entomopathogens represent a viable alternative for malaria control, especially if they are used as part of an integrated vector management strategy.

Milk of Magnesia Cures
Last Modified on Apr 17, 2015
Used for nearly 200 years, milk of magnesia has been identified as an effective solution to a variety of problems. While its most traditional application involves gastrointestinal relief associated with constipation, milk of magnesia has other application as well. Comprised of a naturally occurring mineral, milk of magnesia is a safe, effective treatment for a variety of conditions.
What is Milk of Magnesia?
Milk of magnesia is a considered a suspension of magnesium hydroxide in water. The suspension generally appears as a milky white color, which is where the treatment generally gets its name.
Generally speaking, milk of magnesia has an osmotic effect on the body. In other words, it draws water into the affected area to alleviate symptoms and associated issues. For example, when taken as a laxative to treat constipation, milk of magnesia draws water into the intestines. The water entering the intestinal tract causes movement in the intestines and safely relieves constipation.
Milk of magnesia has other effects as well. It is also known as an effective antacid as it neutralizes or reduces excess acid in the stomach. It has also become a popular treatment option for reducing oiliness of the skin.
Health Benefits of Milk of Magnesia
Several characteristics of milk of magnesia make it an effective health treatment. The compound is a good source of magnesium, which is an effective nutrient that helps regulate calcium and other nutrient levels in the body. Magnesium also helps promote metabolic processes in the body including the activation of enzymes and promotion of teeth and bone development.
As such, milk of magnesia can be used to treat a wide range of conditions. Of course, the most common treatment application for which milk of magnesia is used is relief of constipation. However, the compound is also often used to treat heartburn, upset stomach, acne, canker sores and even bodily odor. The compound can also be used to treat diaper rash and other skin sensitivities.
With its wide range of applications and natural ingredients, milk of magnesia is an effective health treatment for a wide range of conditions. A naturally soothing, compound, milk of magnesia relieves a variety of health problems.

[YEA] I agree that MOM (milk of magnesia) as a deodorant is great! I have been using it now for about two months. Keeps me odor-free even after sweat-drenching exercise classes, as long as I remember to change out of my exercise clothes. Sometimes the MOM seems a little too drying so I rub in coconut oil as well.
Magnesium Water Recipe 1 0

[YEA] I believe I have found a way to make an improvement on the recipe for Magnesium Water from M.O.M. I got to wondering about the undissolved layer of M.O.M. at the bottom of the bottle, and reasoned that the carbonic acid from the seltezer water must not be strong enough to dissolve all of the Magnesium hydroxide into solution, so I added some citric acid powder to the bottle, shook it up and sure enough, it foamed up and the white layer disappeared as the undissolved M.O.M. went into solution. That means that there is even more bio-available magnesium in the water than there was before. I did not measure how much citric acid I added this time, but the next time I make it, I will measure amounts of M.O.M., water and citric acid and should be able to come up with a pretty good guess at how many milligrams of Magnesium there are per ounce of water, if someone else doesn't beat me to it, of course : ) I love this site...home-made science in the public interest!

[YEA] Another way that I use MoM is as a primer for makeup! I put on a thin layer and let it dry prior to putting on foundation and it keeps my oil in control all day! It's so nice to put foundation on in the morning and not have it slide off my face by noon! Awesome stuff, that MoM.

Generic Milk of Magnesia (MOM) contains calcium, magnesium, sodium, and purified water. Phillips' brand contains magnesium, purified water, and sodium hypochlorite. According to Wikipedia sodium hypochlorite is bleach. Which MOM would you recommend for which applications?
EC: Yikes! Thank you very much for pointing this out... We just sent Bayer HealthCare an email asking why they add sodium hypochlorite to their Phillips' formula. Will post a reply if we get a response.
Not much information on the web about this, other than this one question: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090201110922AA61U9Z

In response to your inquiry, Sodium Hypochlorite is derived from Chlorine and Sodium Hydroxide and is used as a antimicrobial agent.

07/13/2014In some circles, Magnesium Hydroxide is coveted as the best form of Mag for colon cleansing due to the active oxygen factor. Why would a small amount of Chlorine hurt as there are always pathogens in the gut that need killing??Posted by Raquel (West Palm Beach, FL) on 07/23/2009[YEA] I also use MOM as a deodorant, can't be without it! I had the idea of adding a few drops of essential oils (lavender and tea tree) for added protection plus I like the "clean" scent.

Posted by Bessie (Calgary, Alberta, Canada) on 03/08/2009[YEA] For underarm odour, I've had good luck with Milk of Magnesia as posted by someone else at Earth Clinic. I just pour a wee bit into my hand and rub it into my armpits. Wait until it dries before putting on your clothes. It worked remarkably well and I've been under a great deal of stress lately. I used the name brand Milk of Magnesia (from the pharmacy) but you could probably use a generic or store brand one. Good luck!

When her daughter was little she has rashes so bad on her bottom that she had to leave off the diaper quite often because of her acidity level in her urine. One day her mother was watching her and she told her mother to be very careful because of the rash. She left for a few hours and when she came home the rash was gone. She had applied Milk of Magnesia directly on her granddaughter and not long after the skin rash was gone.
My friend also told me about using it on burns, so I have tried it. My daughter and I have both burned our hands so I tried it and it worked. You need to soak it near an hour but it leaves no red marks and it feels better.
Posted by Pamela (Houston, Texas) on 12/18/2008[YEA] I didn't believe it but a friend of mind share with me an article he had read in the newspaper about a man who used milk of magnesium to clear up a long standing bad case of acne. We both have been putting the milk of magnesium on acne break outs at night before we go to bed. We are both happy at the results as both of the problem spots on our faces are clearing up. Who would of thought it would work. I have tried everything on my face and there were always some spots that nothing seem to work. It works slowly but everyday you notice the acne getting smaller and smaller. Plus I am noticing that I am not getting the usual breakout of new blemishes.

11/23/2010Rub the milk of magnesia in the babys mouth?? around the gums?... Thank-youPosted by Rick (New Bloomfield, PA) on 07/03/2007[YEA] No particular ailment, but I have been interested in Magnesium supplementation ever since I had a couple of "racing heart" episodes several years back, and discovered that I could calm things down by taking Epsom Salts (Magnesium Sulfate) in water... awful taste and also a powerful laxative. I began to wonder how I could get the same effect in a more palatable way, without the laxative effect. Eventually I found the"Magnesium" webpage and learned the following:
How to make your own Magnesium water [like the 'Noah' water being sold by a certain company, which bottles water from a spring that is naturally rich in bicarbonates of Magnesium].
The assumption is that we could all use more magnesium in our diet, which may help reduce blood pressure, reduce the likelihood of kidney stones, etc.
Here's how to make your own Mg-rich drinking water:
Buy a bottle of Carbonated Seltzer water - NO SODIUM, just carbonated "fizz" water, unflavored. Refrigerate for a couple of hours.
Get another, larger bottle, and pour 2/3 of a capful of PLAIN (no-flavor) Philips Milk of Magnesia (which is Magnesium Oxide, an alkaline laxative) into the large bottle. (The bottle comes with a plastic measuring cup which is what I mean when I say 2/3 capful.)
Now quickly open the bottle of carbonated water (water + carbonic acid) and empty it into the large bottle containing the 2/3 capful of Magnesia.
Shake well.
You will have a bottle of milky/cloudy liquid which is in the process of neutralization between the carbonic acid and the magnesium oxide-- leaving a neutral salt, Magnesium Bicarbonate.
Let the cloudy mixture sit for a while at room temperature, until the liquid clears; there will be some white precipitate at the bottom. Shake again and let sit again. When clear, refrigerate. THIS IS YOUR MAGNESIUM BICARBONATE CONCENTRATE. Unlike the chalky taste of straight Milk of Magnesia, or the biting-fizzy taste of seltzer water, your concentrate will have a strong, sweet, slightly "soapy" taste. You will be DILUTING it in water for drinking purposes.
When it has chilled, pour a small amount into an empty 1 liter bottle (approx. 1/2" of concentrate at the bottom) and fill the rest of the bottle with pure drinking water.
You have now created a sweet-tasting, Magnesium-enriched drinking water, and you're also getting your Bi-carbs without all the Sodium you'd be getting from Baking Soda.
I have been making and drinking this Mg water since Nov. 2006 (I write this in July of 2007) and have not had any bad effects from it. I take a bottle to work and sip it during the day. My resting heart rate seems to have gone down and I feel more relaxed in general. I can't say it has greatly improved my high blood pressure, but it has helped some, and I know I am getting enough Magnesium. Probably would be beneficial to supplement with Calcium for balance.
Try it and see what it does for you.

08/11/2007I read the magnesium-enriched water formula on magnesium supplements page. I'm sorry if I'm wrong, but isn't Philips Milk of Magnesia Magnesium Hydroxide rather than "Magnesium Oxide" mentioned in the formula.Pl. refer to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milk_of_magnesiaIt might be a typo error or the author maybe using some other type of milk of magnesia which is not readily available. Does the formula works with Magnesium Hydroxide Milk of Magnesia as well?

09/09/2007Regarding my remarks about making your own "Mg Water" by mixing carbonated water and Milk of Magnesia (laxative):' Usman from Islamabad is correct; I mistakenly said that Milk of Magnesia contains "Magnesium Oxide." Instead, please substitute "Magnesium Hydroxide" when you read my instructions. Sorry for the blunder! Yes, Usman, you should use regular, unflavored Philip's Milk of Magnesia and a liter bottle of carbonated water, non-sodium type.Ted's Feedback 1 0
Approval Ratings YEA (1) 100% Posted by Kimber (Pittsburgh, Pa) on 10/28/2012[YEA] After going through 6 months of a rash I thought was yeast, doing a yeast cleanse diet with beaucoup supplements, I htought maybe me and my baby had a staph infection and looked here for answers. I stumbled upon the pages where Ted had noted milk of Magnesia's effectiveness against staph. I can't find the original page now but I put the Milk of Magnesia on my skin rash that I suspected was staph. I did this 2-3 times a day and by the 3rd day, it was scabbing and healing, barely itchy. Before, I would wake up at night with my stomach bleeding from itching so much. By the end of the week with the milk of Magnesia, you could barely see where the infection even was. My son who is just 1 year old would get the bumps on his cheeks. I tried many other things before- ACV (in the bath too), absorbine jr (because we tried treating for ringworm), and nothing worked- except for the milk of magnesia. Within 2 day his cheeks started clearing up. I will say that the absobine Jr. Helped to relieve some of the itchy for me, but I'm not sure if it is advisable to use for that- I was just desperate. Thank you for your valuable information here, it is changing lives.

Posted by Jellybean (Chicago, Il) on 05/25/2013Many years ago my mom used to have blocks of milk of magnesia in blue paper that she purchased from the drug store. Whatever happened to that form of MoM? Is it still around?

About NOHS
The Nightmare on Helm Street is an unofficial blog overwhelmingly dedicated to the Detroit Red Wings and the destruction of their enemies. Drew started a non-partisan blog in 2008 which failed miserably. He eventually created NOHS on the scorched Earth thereafter in July 2009. Chris was added as an author three months later. Both are washed up college hockey players, except Chris is a stupid goalie. Brendan aka "Sully", is a die-hard Red Wings fan living in Arizona. Twig is a diehard fan now living in Texas. Jordan is the founder of Detroit Hockey Report and joined our team in November of 2011. Finally, our awesome photoshops are created by the great Josh Howard.

Do it yourself...compare prices | check the builders past/profile/Project/s overview etc.. share your experience here...post your quires here regarding a specific project you interested in....You will be getting a lot of research done this way... check out some more options in Mumbai Flat for Sale ....I doubt if you can get any financial advisor even if you find one i am sure you are not going to trust him completely...So get your complete research done yourself about your preferred localities/builders/projects/commercials involved etc....

Editor's Note
Hard-hitting detective Mike Hammer (Ralph Meeker) takes on thugs and atomic secrets in Robert Aldrich's fast-paced thriller KISS ME DEADLY, an adaptation of the Mickey Spillane novel. The night goes awry for Hammer soon after he picks up a scantily clad hitchhiker (Cloris Leachman). The next thing he knows, he's assaulted by a couple of goons and the sultry drifter turns up dead. As Hammer tracks down the murderers, he realizes he is involved in an international conspiracy--one that could cost him his life. Generally considered to be the best of the many films centering on Spillane's classic protagonist and lauded as a primary inspiration and building block for the French Nouvelle Vague, KISS ME DEADLY boasts nightmarish imagery, a careening, sinuous plot, and an unforgettable shock ending.

More Fantasy
The Latest
Player Updates
Jhonny Peralta (StL-SS)
Jhonny Peralta pounds out three hits with a homer Friday night
Peralta is in a nice groove at the plate, going 6-for-17 with a homer and a double during his current four-game hitting streak. The veteran shortstop put together a nice first season in St. Louis during 2014, and is off to a good start in year number two, batting .317 with seven extra-base hits through 15 games. -- Fantasy Alarm
Jason Heyward (StL-RF)
Heyward hits second homer of season Friday night
Heyward has not been overly impressive in the box so far this season, as he currently sports a .212/.224/.364 triple slash through 15 games. However, he has hit in three straight for the Cardinals, going 4-for-14 with a homer. Fantasy owners should be patient with Heyward, as he can be a really streaky hitter that is a mainstay in the lineup due to his elite, Gold-Glove caliber defense in right field. -- Fantasy Alarm
Trevor Rosenthal (StL-RP)
Rosenthal picks up seventh save
Rosenthal continues to dominate during the late innings here in the early going of 2015. The rocket-armed righty has allowed just one run on two hits and four walks across 8 2/3 innings while converting all seven of his save opportunities thus far. -- Fantasy Alarm
Carlos Martinez (StL-SP)
Carlos Martinez dominant in win over Brewers
Martinez is finally living up to the hype, as the young right-hander is getting better with every start. Over 20 innings so far this season, the 23 year old has allowed just three earned runs on 11 hits while putting up an impressive 21-to-7 K/BB ratio. -- Fantasy Alarm

I want to find out the creation date of particular file, not modification date or access date.
I have tried with ls -ltrh
and stat filename
I want to find out the creation date of particular file, not modification date or access date. I have tried with |
The POSIX standard only defines three distinct timestamps to be stored for each file: the time of last data access, the time of last data modification, and the time the file status last changed. That said, modern Linux filesystems, such as ext4, Btrfs and JFS, do store the file creation time (aka birth time), but use different names for the field in question ( As Craig Sanders and Mohsen Pahlevanzadeh pointed out, As Stephane Chazelas points out, some filesystems, such as ntfs-3g, expose the file creation times via extended file attributes. |
TLDR; Use You can extract the ext4 creation times on Fedora 19 systems. Here's mine:
It's clear that the inodes on my ext4 partitions have the creation time. Here's a shell script that determines the inode associated with a filename and then augments the NB: This is just a demo and hugely inefficient since a kernel module is created, loaded, and unloaded for every execution. This is also probably very fragile as no error checking is performed. A proper kernel API would be preferable, but this script could be made much more efficient and read the creation times of multiple files/inodes. [contents of stap_stat.sh]
Here's a demo:
In theory, with GNU stat you could use In practice, most filesystems do not record that information and the linux kernel does not provide any way of accessing it. The closest you can get is the file's ctime, which is not the creation time, it is the time that the file's metadata was last changed. Linux Weekly News had an interesting article about this a few years back - http://lwn.net/Articles/397442/ |

NWAR: Trench Warfare
Detective Nwar gets his hands dirty for a political campaign.

Service Pack 2 has been auto-installed for your protection!
1.) Links in IE have been fixed so that the ext. pages open in a new window.
2.) Other small stuff has been fixed too.
"z" when Windows is loading up (not at DOS)
I highly suggest you take a look at Windows Donghorn after viewing this one. Windows Donghorn has a CRAP LOAD OF MORE FEATURES than this one!
Finally! :D
The Windows Parody page! Thanks for all the reviews!
Ive seen many Windows versions out there, that rock and suck. Heres another one for you. Windows FU! The power of being screwed!
A couple of things...
1.) The size of the movie is 800x600, thats bigger than some of the other ones, easier for your eyes
2.) Good sound
3.) More interactivity (featuring Windows Exploder with actual (fake) websites)
Bad things:
1.) Heavy weight :(
