15 Unlikely Foods for Healthy Hair and Skin
Last updated on : August 01 2016
This article is featured in "How To Get A Bikini Body Fast". Your guide on preparing your bikini shape.
We see advertisements featuring a beautiful model with radiant skin and shiny bouncing hair and we all secretly wish for her hair and skin. Are camera tricks and makeup the only way to get shiny hair and flawless skin? Although makeup does an expert job camouflaging certain skin flaws, the truth is that what you eat and don't eat is the secret to beautiful skin and hair. In fact, with the right diet, you may not need any camouflaging concealers at all. (If you are interested in the best concealers on the market according to the experts for everyday wear, check out our post Top 15 Concealers for Everyday Wear.)
In this post we've compiled a list of the top 15 superfoods that nourish and strengthen your hair and skin. These superfoods are easy to find, somewhat tasty, and uniquely able to deliver flawless skin and lovely tresses because of natural nutrients.
Vitamin C
Being confident in your skin and looking amazing does not mean you have to eat bland, boiled food. Enjoying a healthy and tasty diet by choosing the right things to eat is simple and a lot easier than you may think. Blueberry is one such food as it has a high content of Vitamin C (which is also an antioxidant), which protects your skin from premature aging and strengthens hair. Consuming Vitamin C helps in the absorption of iron so combining blueberries with foods that are rich in iron is a simple way to ensure your body absorbs the iron naturally. Toss a few into your salad or have it as a topping with your breakfast cereal. Other foods that are good sources of Vitamin C and antioxidants include broccoli, strawberries, papaya, oranges, dark chocolate, and red wine.
Fatty Fish
Omega-3 fatty acids have been found to have several health and beauty benefits/ The best food sources for getting all the Omega-3 fatty acids you need are found in fish such as salmon, mackerel, and sardines. Omega-3 fatty acids make up approximately three percent of your hair shafts thus consuming foods high in these acids keeps your hair and scalp hydrated. It also works for the skin since salmon has vitamin D as well as a mineral called selenium, which protects your skin from sun exposure. Add fatty fish to your diet by tossing them over salads. Try baking or grilling the fish or simply exploring with sushi.
It is common knowledge that green, leafy vegetables are good for health, but if you are looking for food that conditions your hair and skin, spinach is a vegetable that you should not skip. Spinach is an excellent source of potassium, iron, calcium, magnesium, and several vitamins, which combine to keep you beautiful and healthy. Spinach is also rich in beta carotene and acts as a powerful anti-aging food by removing dead skin and preventing wrinkles. Add sautéed spinach to any dish or pair it with foods rich in Vitamin C (like citrus fruits) for added absorption. Spinach is tasty fresh as well so be sure to try it in a salad or part of a homemade dip.
Sensitive to sun exposure? Tomatoes are high in antioxidants and give you skin an extra layer of protection. A study in London found that women who consumed tomato paste combined with olive oil for 12 weeks experienced considerable improvement in their skin's ability to keep protect itself from UV damage. UV damage is responsible for various cases of skin cancer, freckles, wrinkles, and other flaws. Tomatoes are a good source of lycopene, an anti-aging antioxidant that gives your skin a natural glow of younger, healthier skin. The good news is that your body absorbs this antioxidant easily when it is consumed in a cooked or processed form, so enjoy those delicious tomato ketchups and juices.
Bell peppers
If you love a touch of spice and color in your food, you will be delighted to know that bell peppers of various colors are a great food for healthy hair and skin. These delicious vegetables contain Vitamin C that helps form collagen—a fiber that is important for blood vessels, hair follicles, and our skin to stay healthy and grow well. Chop up some bell peppers and add them to salads or use while cooking any other dish. Bell peppers also taste great with fresh dips and quesos.
Cooked pumpkin is a great source of beta-carotene, which is converted to Vitamin A by the human body. This is important for the growth of skin cells which in turn keeps the skin soft and wrinkle-free. If cooked pumpkin is not your favorite, a handful of lightly-roasted pumpkin seeds also do the trick. The seeds contain omega-3 fatty acids in addition to vitamins A and K, which nourish both your hair and skin.
Coconut is used in many ways for healthy skin and hair and it is one of the most natural ways to moisturize and maintain good health affordably. Cook your food in coconut oil, because it is loaded with vitamins E and K, healthy fats, and minerals. Drinking coconut water everyday is a delicious beverage that contains potassium and helps in natural hydration. Miranda Kerr has praised and relied on coconut oil for years. She shares, "I will not go a day without coconut oil. I personally take four tablespoons per day, either on my salads, in my cooking or in my cups of green tea."
Yes, oysters have long been known as aphrodisiacs, but they are also an excellent source of dietary zinc. Zinc not only helps in the growth and repair of skin cells, but also keeps your eyes, nails, and hair healthy, thick, and beautiful. Next time you are eating out, order some oysters and combine a romantic date with healthy eating that produces wonderful results.
Tasty, easily available, and great for keeping your hair and skin conditioned - walnuts may look small, but offer you huge benefits. Rich in Vitamin E, walnuts also contain omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which make them a great alternative for vegetarians. Moreover, eating walnuts makes your hair stronger and fuller as their protein content nourishes the hair follicles. Grab a handful and snack on them while watching TV, or sprinkle some chopped walnuts on your salad or dessert.
If you wish for lovely tresses, pick whole grain oatmeal for breakfast rather than going for a bagel or other cereals. Oats have a high content of zinc, potassium, magnesium, and biotin—nutrients that prevent breakage of hair. Incorporating oats into your regular diet is not tough because oats are very easy to prepare and combine with other meals. Have some with brown sugar, chopped fruit, and milk as a breakfast cereal or make a savory dish with vegetables. Go ahead and experiment with oats. Many irish recipes use oats as a base for side dishes so explore other cuisines to find ones that suit.
Don't go by this fruits tiny size because it is packed with Vitamin C and antioxidants that not only keep bones and teeth healthy, but also prevent wrinkles and skin aging. Vitamin C is known to promote collagen synthesis, which in turn makes your skin firm and prevents the formation of fine lines. Kiwis are also considered to protect you from heart ailments and cancer. Surprisingly, just one medium-sized kiwi is more than enough to meet all your daily needs of Vitamin C.
We have been taught since childhood that carrots are an excellent source of Vitamin A and thus ideal for supporting eye health. However, did you know that carrots are good for great looking skin and hair. Vitamin A gives you the shiny hair you have always wanted as they maintain the natural oils in your scalp and hair. In addition, researchers have found that people who eat carrots have more yellow tones in the skin, which is a sign of good health. So start eating carrots and soon you may not even need your blush!
Sweet potatoes
Sweet potato is another delicious yet healthy vegetable that does a lot of good for your skin and hair as it has high amounts of beta-carotene. This nutrient not only acts as an antioxidant to fight aging skin, but also keeps your scalp healthy, which reduces the problem of hair loss and breakage. If you are not a fan of mashed potatoes, add them to your diet in a roasted form with your favorite herbs.
Very few people dislike eggs, and this is perhaps the tastiest way of eating healthy for skin and hair. Eggs have an essential nutrient called sulfur. Sulfur is a key ingredient, which works in several ways to boost your immune system and maintain sturdy nails, shiny hair, and lustrous skin. Moreover, consuming eggs is a great way to get protein without a high fat content—a combination that reduces your chances of developing wrinkles.
Make a habit of having yogurt on a regular basis if you want to keep your skin glowing and hair well-conditioned through your diet. Yogurt does a lot more than just provide calcium to your bones; it is also rich in vitamins B2, B6, and B12 and protein, all of which help to detoxify your skin and maintain healthy teeth and nails. Try Greek yogurt as a mid-day snack or opt for breakfast that consists of low-fat yogurt combined with fruits or a granola. Remember that plain yogurts pack the most healthy punches and are most effective because there are no added sugars in it.
These superfoods are tasty, convenient, and easy to incorporate into your regular diet. Eating these snacks regularly a few times a week ensures that you are more likely to notice a change in your hair and skin. Also, don't forget to drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep yourself hydrated. Enjoy the easy route to perfect skin and hair, and eat your way to good looks.

The agreement will be signed despite the last-minute intervention of rival Entertainment Rights, owner of Basil Brush and Postman Pat. It has made an unsolicited approach to Chorion.
Insiders at Chorion, which has previously held talks with Entertainment Rights, believe the intervention was designed to disrupt the Mr Men negotiations. It is also understood that, under the terms of a previous negotiation, Entertainment Rights is precluded from bidding for Chorion until January 27.
The Mr Men are now 32 years old and include 79 characters such as newcomers Little Miss Scary and Mr Cool. Creator Roger Hargreaves came up with the idea for Mr Tickle, the first of the Mr Men, when his son Adam asked what a tickle looked like.
The Mr Men books are the second most popular children's books after Harry Potter, selling about three million a year. They are one of the best-known independently owned children's brands.

My name is Abrianna and I am 13. I have been loving Taylor Swift ever since her first CD came out. I remember when I went to her self- titled album concert and she sang a song from the deluxe edition and my mom and I didn't know it (I had memorized every single word to all of the other songs) and I leaned over to my mom and said, "Are we supposed to know this song?" I think that was the moment I realized that I was a Swiftie and that I was going to know every song Taylor played at a concert if it killed me. So far that has paid off! I have been to every concert that she has put on in Omaha, NE and I can't believe the courage and self-confidence in her. She is amazing. Taylor is the only celebrity that really understands and speaks out about actual experiences. I look up to her so much. She is so inspirational! I also love her cat, Meredith. She is the cutest thing. I adore cats- they are one of the best pets to have. I am so stoked to be able to talk to other Swifties. Most people don't know this, but I love classical orchestra music! I play a double French Horn so I think some of that comes from there. Even though I love classical orchestra, I love Taylor even more! I think that rain is mystical. I definitely can't dance! I love watermelon, cupcakes, cherry pie, and peach and apple crisp! Hot Chocolate is my favorite beverage for cold weather and Raspberry Iced Tea on any other day. I LOVE vintage anything and everything! Most people say that I am weird, but I embrace that! I think it's awesome to be different.
I read one or two levels above my grade level, I hate it when people act like hypocrites, and I am obsessed with clothes! I will accept any friend request! Some things that I have trouble with are talking in code and people who think they are the definition of that fake word "cool". Long story short- LOTS of untrustworthy friendships, but I still try to make friends with everyone, and I am open to literally EVERYONE! :)Everyone is welcome to message me even if we aren't friends- afterwards, you'll most likely gonna see a friend request from me after your first message. :)
Me after a hard day.... ^
This is long, but totally worth the time!
^Thank You sooo much 13SilverKeys!! I LOVE it!!
^ Thank you brooker27
Thanks for readin' this!
So I just got out of school and my mom said that all this stuff was 1/2 off at Cracker Barrel and then she handed me a Taylor Swift bag filled with goodies! She got 4 notebooks, a bag, and a shirt. Of course they are all flawless. So go get your T- Sway stuff now!!! :)

That's crazy
They could've been white, chinese,etc. crime knows no color
#3 Jul 5, 2014
All of the victims on the news looked either black or gay.
The message is clear. If you are not gay, don't go to the Ripple. If you are not black, don't go to the Ripple. If you don't want to be punked and pumped full of lead by a black thug, don't go to Broadripple.
Peace Out.
#5 Jul 6, 2014
The purpose of the glorious tea baggers is to protect the White race in America.
We should pray that they start patrolling Broad Ripple and the Black Expo area today. Prevent these senseless attacks of the white man by the thugs.

Pearl are you white. Do you live around black people? Have you ever been jumped by 20 black people? Have you worked with black people? Have you seen whose in our prison and jails ?Have you viewed the FBI'S list of race who commit the most violent crimes?To say they could had been white is a laugh. On the whole, Black thugs love to open up fire on crowds or against others. The love to do drive by's and brag about doing them,Learn to spell It's called Fishers not Fischers lol. I'm sure if blacks lived in Carmel They would change it to Caramel lol.I ask Pearl what color is the President of the United States ? What color is the Police Chief of Indianapolis , What color is the leader of the Indianapolis City Council? What color is the lead DOA OF THE United States.Pearl you think by hiding behind religion and spouting off about things you haven't a clue about, That that makes it fact.Yes there is crime in white neighborhoods, There isn't very violent crimes happening daily in those same white neighborhoods. Pearl many Indianapolis neighborhoods have been desegregated and section 8 housing put into them and forced busing to destroy them, Yes you still may have more whites in some of those hoods, The majority of criminals living there now are black.So Pearl take off those rose colored glasses and see the proof and truth for what it is and you shall be set free.Broken when masses of blacks are put into Carmel and Fishers and the crime rate rises, Whose to blame?Isn't it a black thang and whites wouldn't understand.whites are dammed if they help and dammed if they don;t by black whiners of society. When will this end Broken. Now if you can brag about being top athletes , Why can;t you accept the truth about black thugs in you're society doing so much crime and creating chaos.You mention escape to .What's stopping blacks from living in CARMEL OR FISHERS . MANY BLACKS WHO HAVE MADE IT IN SPORTS OR IN EARNING REAL DEGREE'S LIVE IN CARMEL AND FISHERS AND WESTFIELD. If a wealthy white person moves to say a black poor hood. Do they have the right to live there even if they make more money?MANY BLACKS for years have targeted whites with money who move back to the black hoods to help out/ They say you aren't welcomed here whitey. Broken ships and planes leave America daily for Africa ,Maybe you and PEARL WILL CATCH THE NEXT ONE AND FIND PEACE IN AFRICA FREE FROM WAR, RACISM, HATE, MURDER, DISEASE . CRIME RAPE AND INTOLERANCE. WRITE ME AND TELL ME HOW IT'S GOING ONCE YOU LIVE THERE AND HOW FREE YOU BOTH ARE.

I am curious if any of you know just how many black IMPD officers have been shot by black perps? Would a black officer shoot a black man that had just robbed, raped or murdered? And would that same thug shoot a black officer? Or would they be more willing to work through a situation with no shots being fired? I am just wondering if the man that shot the police officer saw him as a white man or a police officer. Which view fueled his rage.
And, yes Pearl, they could have been white, green or blue. But they were black, again.
#10 Jul 6, 2014
Was that thug who shot and killed that officer black?
Did the thug get his gun permit from the NRA?
The thug went to the NRA convention and enjoyed it very much. He bought an AR15 there.
Why is the thug being treated like a HERO in jail?

@kaptoz why don't u go back to England where the hails were first started. Open a history book an learn about your ancestor the white man. Educate yourself you'll find he's the first murderer and rapist. He murdered a whole race of people literally wiping them off the face of the earth (Native Americans). Plus threw thousands of African slaves into the Atlantic Ocean. This behavior was allowed for 1000s of years. Then come back an talk to me white boy.
Paris, France

The white man has dogged the colored man for a millium. Karma is tough and the whitey man is getting his cumupteance for terrorizing and bullying the pubic for years. How many lives did these dead men ruin? No one grieves for the lives that these terrorist left to die and suffer, they even earned a pension.
#13 Jul 6, 2014
Yeah what jerks for trying to rid the streets of drug dealers. Thug laying up at eskanazi donated his first sperm that produced a child at 14. What you want to bet those 4 kids grow up to be drug dealers too?
#14 Jul 6, 2014
Are you all serious? A very brave man has been murdered by a sick person, normal people don't go around just shooting people! Stay respectful a wife has lost her beloved husband. A mother will lose her son, neither one of these ladies deserve the pain they are going through! Peace in the street! I LOVE MY CITY STOP THE VIOLENCE AND IGNORANT COMMENTS
#15 Jul 7, 2014
First of all Pearl I'm Cherokee and Sioux . Therefore to explain to me about whiteness is also a laugh Yes I'm also Irish and Scottish blend. But my native American heritage was already in America . My Irish and Scot came to America after the great potato famine in Ireland.I owned no black slaves. As far as white men wiping out Indians, That is a myth also, There are still many Natives alive in America who carry tax exemption status on the Rez. Many whom live off the dole courtesy of the other half of my heritage who pay for it all Let me explain some history to you Pearl . In the guise of history and white people and America a very young nation and republic compared to the rest of this worlds countries and nations and history, To blame whites and America for the demise of a race or culture is a joke.Liberals always leave out the good that America has doen and still does for this world and even it's enemies peoples in aid and money and protection.There was rape, slavery. poverty, disease. murder, crime, adultery and sin of all likes before any white man set forth on American soil, America is the only country to truly abolish slavery and she lost over 300 thousand northern soldiers to end slavery that freed black people.Why aren't blacks honoring John Brown a white abolitionist against slavery or Abe Lincoln . I only see them honor Malcom X or Martin Luther King. Pearl tell me who taught the Mayans and Inca's and Aztecs TO SACRIFICE THEIR OWN PEOPLE.Pearl explain why slavery still exist in Africa to this day.Pearl explain why so many are trying t get to America to live while leaving their own countries, If America and whites are so evil, Why would so many of color flee other countries to get to America .Add up all the contributions to mankind and how much is has enhanced their lives and then Pearl say take all of that away in technology that has made peoples lives easier and for them to live longer and more healthy. Pearl you would damn a whole race on a brief part of history that even pother races were part of exploiting and making profits off of as well.

Broad ripple is racist area anyway.
They used to run blacks away for years those skinheads. Y'all know what I'm talking about in the last 30 some odd years
#19 Jul 8, 2014
Broad Ripple has too many bars. There are way too many liquor licenses given out in such a small and concentrated area. Broad Ripple is now consuming enormous amounts of resources to placate bar owners. The fools of the BRVA wanted the ducks removed from the area and instead the area is now full of drunks,brawls,loud noise and detritus from the concentration of drinking establishments. Broad Ripple lost its charm when the BRVA became the arm of the owners of the drinking establishments. Any fool knows alcohol and crowds don't mix. But of course,the ducks had to go.
Amazingly,none of these bars will have their liquor licenses removed as a result of said disturbances and diminished quality of life within the area. How many times have these bars been cited for underage drinking? When will the authorities look at these bars as the common nuisance as they really are? Unlike what happens to establishments and events outside of Broad Ripple.
It looks like the bar owners of Broad Ripple have greased the palms of the Ballard administration.

Broad Ripple Park was once named White City.
#21 Jul 8, 2014
Pearl racist how so, They use to run blacks away, Africa sold it's black people into slavery for more profit, You want to be angry black people, Then sue Africa for selling you're people into slavery where slavery still exist also. I don't see blacks outraged over slavery by black over blacks still existing in Africa So Jamal is Obama on a power trip trying to set off a race war, How far do you think that will get your black people . Try setting you back forever. Say good bye to all the freebies your blacks now receive from hardworking middle class whites who are tried of it also.Jamal you want to view power trips Go back to Africa and watch all the power trips and war leaders there who keep Africa in poverty and war and murder rape and robbery..Like Morgen Freeman said to a Cnn Host, He was axed Do you think blacks are held back by racial inequality , Morgen no, He said no what do you mean, Morgen look at me and you, We made it, Morgen said it's like religion It's there all you have to do is go to it. The same applies to making it and being successful, More or less he said stop making excuses for not being able to make it in America or life when you have all the opportunities here in America to succeed. Just ask all those millionaire and billionaire black athletes actors and rappers and producers.Yes MORGEN began at the bottom I REMEMBER HIM on electric company on PBS,. JAMAL WHEN WILL BLACKS THANK THOSE HARDWORKING MIDDLE CLASS WHITES WHO FOR OVER 50 YEARS NOW HAVE HANDED THEM MONEY TO KEEP THEM HEALTHY AND FREE HOUSING AND FOOD AND CLOTHING AND JOBS.jOHN BROWN STATUE SHOULD BE STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO THE MARTIN LUTHER KING STATUE . IF NOT FOR JOHN BROWN NOT EVEN ABE LINCOLN WOULD HAD TAKEN UP THE ENDING OF SLAVERY.

from Chris Stevenson of the Ottawa Sun,
Meet Dany Heatley, playmaker.
The Senators left winger, often facing withering defensive attention because of his goal-scoring skills, has turned into a set-up man.
He is the NHL's leading playoff scorer with 21 points, moving ahead of linemate Jason Spezza with a one-goal, two-assist performance Saturday as the Senators earned their first trip to the Stanley Cup final.

Conscious BoxConscious Box 3549 NW Yeon Ave Portland, Oregon US Portland, Oregon USA
Conscious Box unauthorized billing, fraud, incomplete order Portland Oregon
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I ordered a "free trial" Conscious Box for $4.99. The regular price is $19.99. When it arrived at the end of the first week of March, it was missing a sample and had an expired coupon.
The value of the box was under $19.95. It contained only two full-size items and the value of both together was under $2. The rest were trials and tiny samples.
I e-mailed the company about the missing sample adn the expired code. Not hearing anything back in a few days, I canceled my subscription.
A few days later, I recieved a notice that a box had shipped. I checked my account and sure enough, it was canceled. I assumed that it was a shipment with the missing sample and a replacement coupon.
Today I checked my bank account to find that they had billed me $19.95 BEFORE my trail had even arrived.
I immediately looked online and saw complaint after complaint from this shady "business".
I now have to file a complaint with my bank.
STAY AWAY from Conscious Box. The value is not even half what they charge, things are missng and expired, and the food is full of sugar and preservatives. They also have zero morals.
If you check out there Facebook in a Google search complants that appear are not visible when you click on them on the page. Which means they were deleted. Then there are positive reviews from people who are family or workers.
Very shady. Poor value. No morals.

Y'all. I've mentioned before how I save money by shopping online with Ebates.com so that I can earn cash back on my purchases. And because Ebates typically has coupons available for just about any store I want to shop at and you know how I feel about coupons. But there are other ways you can make money using Ebates without even shopping that are SUPER easy I want to share with you!
Since they are one of the sites that I use frequently (read: all the time), I emailed them to see if they were interested in partnering with me for this special week of giveaways. And then I about fell over when they offered to give a $100 to one lucky reader! I maybe love them even more for being willing to do something so fun for my readers! I am so thankful for their generosity and so excited to share more about the site with you.
How To Use Ebates
First, visit Ebates.com and sign in. If you aren't a member, you can sign up for free here (Ebates is totally free by the way) and when you make your first $25 purchase through them, you'll receive a $10 gift card!
Then choose from the list what store you are wanting to shop at that day, like say…Target! There are thousands of stores to choose from, I just sort of love Target.
When you click on the store name, you'll see the amount of cash back you'll get from shopping at that store plus a list of exclusive coupon codes you can use at each store!
It's so easy and so helpful. When Scarlette came home from the hospital our washing machine died and we had to order a new one. I went through Ebates to order one from Lowe's and got free shipping + a coupon code + cash back which saved us a good bit. Which is great because pretty much the worst time ever for your washing machine to die is when you have a newborn in cloth diapers.
The holidays are a great time to use Ebates because they have normally have double and triple cash back in November (I've gotten gifts at Snapfish with 20% cash back!). That coupled with deep discounts over Black Friday/Cyber Monday is potential for huge savings. You can even get cash back at some of Amazon's departments! I am such a fan girl. I do all of my online Christmas shopping through Ebates every year.
Here is an example of one of the best deals I found on Ebates: The Body Shop (which is one of my favorite stores, I used to work there over the holiday season in college and if you wanted to get me some cranberry body wash I would not say not to that) was offering 10% cash back, plus a coupon for 40% off your purchase. This is what it looks like when you are logged in (except that I removed the coupon code since it's for members only)
How To Make Money With Ebates
1.) Shop Cash Back. Just find the store you want to shop at in Ebates directory, click on the link, and you'll be redirected to the store you want to shop at. Once you've made your purchase, your cash back percentage will be deposited in your Ebates account. And every quarter, Ebates sends you a payment via paypal or check! It's great because if you were planning on shopping online anyhow, all you have to do is click one extra link and you get cash back for it.
2.) Earn Referral Credit. You can also earn cash bonuses if you share your Ebates referral link with friends. I earned referral bonuses when I first joined because I emailed most of my girlfriends about the site and now we all use it. My mother called me all excited when she got her first cash back payment. That's so cute.
My ebates referral link is used in this post so if you use it and make a purchase of $25 or more, you get a $10 gift card and I get a bonus!
The more friends you refer, the more cash rewards you earn:
Refer 3 friends, get an extra $30
Refer 10 friends, get an extra $100
Refer 25 friends, get an extra $250
That is a lot of potential for extra income! Share your excitement about Ebates using your referral link on your blog or social media channels, like Facebook. Around the holidays I usually make a quick post on Facebook and tweet out a reminder to shop through Ebates!
3.) Install The App. Ebates now has an app so that you can easily shop and earn both online and with in-store coupons as well as share great deals with your friends via your referral link all from your phone!
Update: The giveaway has ended! Thanks for participating!
Here is how you enter the giveaway for $100 (Ebates does their giveaways a little differently so there are some rules to this one!) You must be an Ebates member to enter. Actually, that's the only rule.
If you are already an Ebates member, just leave me a comment using the email address that you signed up for Ebates with. (You don't have to put it in the actual comment, just enter it where it says "email" in the comment section and I'll be the only one who can see it :))
If you are NOT an Ebates member, sign up for free through my referral link HERE so that Ebates knows you are automatically entered in the giveaway from my blog (leave a comment to let me know you did that just to cover all the bases in case of glitches)
There is no purchase required to enter the giveaway, just be sure that you're signed up as a member.
I'm using Rafflecopter for the giveaway so be sure to click I DID THIS after leaving your comment. If you can't see the Rafflecopter, note that in your comment and I'll manually add your entry. BTW, I use Rafflecopter because it makes random prize selections and keeps everything transparent and fair. You can also get additional entries (because who doesn't want more chances to win $100?) by tweeting or, if you already "like" my fb page you can just click "I'm a fan" and that will enter you too.

Read an Excerpt
"Don't look at me like that unless you intend to kiss me," she warned, completely unable to keep herself from squirming beneath him. In truth, she loved when he looked at her that way, like she were his princess, his heart, his smorgasbord of delightfully tasty treats just waiting to be devoured.
"You mean like this?" His mouth lowered to hers, his lips brushing hers in a featherlike caress. "Or this?" He outlined her slightly parted lips with the tip of his tongue, then licked his way over her jaw, her chin, down her throat. "Or would you rather me kiss you like this?" He moved lower still, bending his head until, yes, once again his lips closed around her nipple.
"Yes. Yes!" Bailey cried out as he gently nipped the tip of her engorged nipple with his teeth, then lightly soothed with a lick of his tongue. He alternated from a tender bite to a soothing lick, until she writhed beneath him, her back arched, the fingers of her uninjured hand digging into the sheets on the mattress at her side.
"Tripp, please!" Flames erupted between her legs, her pussy burning to be touched, to be entered, dear God, to be fucked. She wanted him inside her, needed him inside her. And he still had on his freaking jeans!
She wrapped her legs around his waist, locking her ankles behind his back, and lifting her heat to his crotch. Her panties were little more than a thin strip of satin, soaking wet satin thanks to the juice-flowing things he was doing to her breasts, and they did nothing to protect her sensitive folds from the roughness of his denim jeans. She rubbed herself against him, creating a friction that had her spiraling to the edge of release.
"Tripp, I'm goingto--"
"No, you're not." He let her nipple fall from his mouth as he lifted his head to look at her. His eyes blazed with the same heat she felt coursing through her entire body. "Hold it back. Don't cum yet. Not until I'm inside you."
"Then you better get inside me fast because I'm not sure how much longer I can wait before I explode."
He moved off of her, shedding his shirt, his pants in record time. She didn't think she'd ever been so grateful that he preferred to go commando. It was fewer clothes for him to take off now. He reached in the bedside table drawer, removed a condom, and covered himself, protecting them both.
But he didn't throw himself down on top of her and slam his cock inside her eagerly awaiting pussy as she hoped. No, instead he just stood there looking down at her, that heat in his eyes taking on more intensity than she'd ever witnessed in any fire.
"Damn, you're beautiful," he whispered, almost in awe.
Bailey pointedly let her gaze slide over his broad shoulders, his slightly hairy chest, down his washboard abs and flat stomach. When she reached his cock, large and long and standing at full attention against his body, she let her gaze linger for a long time before she slowly met his eyes again. "Damn," she whispered. "So are you."
He laughed, a short burst of fiery sound, but still he didn't move.
"You're killing me again," she told him in a singsong voice. But that was okay because she knew how to kill back. She lifted her hand, touched the inside of her knee, let one finger trickle down the inner side of her leg, her thigh, lower.
He watched her, his expression riveted, his breath growing more rapid the closer her finger got to her pussy. When she traced the outside of her pussy lips with that finger, she heard him make a low sound in his throat suspiciously like a growl and she laughed.
It got the response she was looking for. Thank you, Jesus. He climbed between her legs and then, oh baby, he was inside her. He needed no guidance or finesse. With one skilled, practiced move, he thrust inside her awaiting heat, ramming himself all the way to the hilt.
Bailey cried out at the penetration of his cock, hard and thick, spreading her tight, slick hole. He filled her to the point of bursting and, holy mackerel, it felt so amazingly fantastic that dying from the sheer bliss of it seemed a real possibility. He knew she liked it fast and hard and he gave it to her, thrusting inside her so deeply, he reached the end of her womb, pulling out until only the head of his dick was still inside her opening before plunging in again.
"Geezus, Bailey," he growled. His face was buried in her hair and he spoke in her ear, kissed her there, licked her there as he continued to pound his cock inside her, as he continued to fuck her just the way she liked.

With A Criminal (14 of 15) by Clarence E. Macartney
This content is part of a series.Great Interviews of Jesus (14 of 15)
With a Criminal
Clarence E. Macartney
Luke 23:43
I wish I had been there when that thief entered
paradise, the first trophy of the Cross, the first
fruits of the passion of Christ. It was a great day
for the angels when Moses entered heaven, and David
and Isaiah and John and Peter and Paul; but heaven has
never seen such a day or heard such music as when the
penitent thief passed through its gates.
"Bring out the prisoner!" In obedience to the gruff
order of the centurion who was in command, the
soldiers entered the guardhouse where they took from
Jesus the crimson robe with which Herod had mocked Him
and put on Him His own garment, that seamless robe
which they looked upon with covetous eyes, wondering
which one of them would possess it when the criminal
who wore it had been crucified. In the prison were two
other condemned men, robbers and murderers, awaiting
execution of their sentence to death. Pilate thought
he might as well get them out of the way at the time
and instructed the centurion to crucify them together
with Jesus.
A condemned man could not, of course, carry the heavy
post upon which he was to be fastened, but it was the
custom for him to carry the transom or the two planks
which were to be nailed to the post and upon which his
arms would be spread. These planks were laid upon the
back of each one of the three condemned men, and the
procession started toward Calvary. Standing at the
window of his palace, Pilate watched Jesus being led
away with the cross upon His back. He gazed for a
moment and then, turning away with a troubled look in
his face, said to his wife Claudia, whose dream had
warned him not to do that thing which now he could not
undo, "An innocent man!"
In front of each criminal, according to the custom,
marched a herald bearing a placard upon which was
written the crime for which the man had been condemned
to death. On t ...

argumentative because it's irritating to be authoritatively
assured that a length check would have no benefit in the future.
We just don't know whether some future vulnerability (perhaps
using a currently-unknown new feature) might be avoided with a
modeline length check.

NAGARJUNA's full-fledged Ayurvedic Centre located on the banks of the river Periyar at Kalady in Kerala, provides a complete range of Ayurvedic Treatments strictly conforming to the traditional practices. Kalady is world renowned as the birthplace of the great Indian Philosopher Sankaracharya and where the vibrations of the past are still felt. The place provides the right ambiance for a suitable sojourn in harmony with nature and is a civilization apart from Modern Life. Set in the lap of scenic nature, the sacred place exudes serenity and sanctity, instilling divine and spiritual thoughts into one's mind.
The surrounding landscape and the aesthetically designed rooms with all amenities stimulate the inmates to rediscover life in its entirety. Realizing the mystical curative powers of Ayurveda, the centre is today a much sought-after destination for people from world over who seek a better way of life. Nagarjuna Ayurvedic Centre blends deep Ayurvedic insights with traditional skills to provide a range of remedies based on preventive, curative, rejuvenative and immunisation therapies.
Human is a product of nature. He/she has to live by its laws. Defy nature's precepts, and you invite disease and suffering.
Health is not merely the absence of disease. Nor is healing just a cure for illness. Preventing disease – building immunity against ailments – is what true healthcare is all about. To be perfectly healthy, Ayurveda prescribes oneness with nature. By living in a natural environment, by providing proper exercise to the body and mind, by following a disciplined lifestyle and a strict dietary regimen, you can prevent ill health and survive diseases. Why is nature's impact on the health of individuals and communities so important? The reason is simple: By bringing nature into focus, we may be able to achieve more appropriate and sustainable conditions that support health. Then only we address interventions that focus on a particular health issue, e.g. improper diet, insufficient exercise or drug misuse.
Most healthcare environments are designed for procedures rather than people, despite the fact that the surroundings are highly influential in a patient's recovery process. A beautiful natural ambience inspires us towards healing, by supporting the body, mind and spirit, and providing healthy and positive interactions.
It is essential that the environment and nature remain as key components in health promotion. Since ancient times, Ayurveda has advocated and incorporated ecological perspectives into health management.
Particularly during the last many decades, people have been moving from rural areas to urban environments across the world. This has resulted in their disengagement from their natural surroundings. We do not experience the range of natural environmental stimuli of our ancestors – a built environment of steel and mortar, fast cars, fast food, noise, high-rise apartments and pollution has replaced it. Nature's protective properties for health promotion, improvement and sustainability have been largely lost to people in the modern world due to their inadequate contact with nature.
Kerala's long and illustrious tradition in Ayurveda has been acclaimed worldwide for its authenticity. An equable climate, ready access to a large variety of naturally growing medicinal plants and herbs, centuries of rigorously following classical Ayurvedic principles and practices … all these make Ayurvedic treatments in Kerala highly reliable and effective. The Kerala-specific disease prevention methods, including Panchakarma therapies, have a unique history of evolution and offer many exceptional techniques for complete and lasting health. Panchakarma is the paramount part of Ayurveda treatments with both preventive and curative applications for ensuring the normalcy of Thridoshas (the three functional humours of the body), with emphasis on detoxification of the body by eliminating the imbalanced Doshas through different therapeutic methodologies, strict dietary regimen and lifestyle changes to ensure total health.
Dietary discipline is basic to sound health. By offering food that promotes health and wellbeing, the Village encourages patients to make diet control an indispensable part of their everyday life. Holistic healthcare, in its true sense, must address not just bodily ailments, but must also ensure mental, spiritual, emotional, social and psychological wellbeing of each individual.
Ayurjeevanam – Hallmark of NAC Kalady
The concept of Ayurjeevanam which views each individual as a unique personality, with his own physical, mental and social traits. This implies that no two persons are exactly alike in their constitution (Prakruthi).
Components of Ayurjeevanam
- Constitution Analysis
- Disease Identification
- Therapy (internal / external)
- Dietary Regimen (daily / seasonal)
- Complementary Therapies
- Lifelong Follow-up Counselling
Ayurjeevanam, as conceived by NAC Kalady, strives to enrich the life of every patient with a holistic, comprehensive and integrated approach to healthcare.
Strict dietary regimen
You are what you eat !!! says ancient Indian wisdom. There is no 'one-fits-all' diet in Ayurveda. Every person has unique needs for balance. Since diet is a major healthcare tool for achieving balance, the dieticians at NAC Kalady design customized diets for each patient, based on various factors such as age, gender, and the Doshic tendencies that need to be balanced at a given time, the strength of body tissues and digestive fires, and the level of toxins in the body. The place where a person lives and the season are also factors that affect dietary do's and don'ts. NAC Kalady serves two types of food, prepared at its own clean, well-equipped kitchen:
- Principal Meals – Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner – That address all three Doshas.
- Treatment – Specific food (drinking water, herbal tea, fruits, salads, soups, etc), related to the Dosha constitution of the patient. These foods will also be based on Naturopathy principles.
True to genuine Ayurvedic traditions, only vegetarian foods are served – prepared from freshly produced grains

Lots of options here at Squeeze and Grind. Smoothies, coffee, tea, a mix of the ordinary and the unique. Stop by on your way to hike around Lacamas Lake or before you hit the downtown shops. Recommended.
But that's not all... Great coffee, fresh pastries. A big gem in a small town. The staff is always very pleasant!
Our family stopped here daily to supplement our hotel's continental breakfast. Smoothies were very delicious and quickly made. The staff was friendly and courteous.
I have had coffee and smoothies here several times. They take pride in serving quality. The employees are all very friendly. Most of them know my vehicle and have my drink made by the time I get to the window. That's VIP service.
Staff are always pleasant and courteous. I have no idea how they remember my order, but it's always ready by the time I get to the window.
This a fine local non chain coffee shop that is a great alternative to Starbucks. My wife started going here on a regular basis when Starbucks quit offering Almond flavoring but Squeeze and Grind still had it. This is the only drive up coffee shop in Camas and the drive up window is usually busy. They also have a small...
If you are a regular it is a fun place to go. I have been there several dozen times (I live in the area) and even after going several times a week they looked at me as if they had never seen me before. No "the regular?" since I always ordered the same thing? No, "welcome back". I give up..too...
A local spot that feels simultaneously cozy AND 'serious' about making a consistently good cup of coffee or chai (and we're picky)!
We've only visited a few times but each one has been a pleasant experience with friendly service and a serene vibe.
You can get to-go treats too or hang out & enjoy the artwork on the walls. It's...
Fast and good coffee and pastries. Location is easy to find and affords a quick in and out. Have inside seating, small but useable but mainly great coffe and service.
Great prices, friendly service. Menu offers large assortment of choices. Love the smoothies. Perfect place for us as they can make several drinks dairy free.

Jammu, Jan 11 (ANI): Commenting on the current scenario in Pakistan, Union Minister Farooq Abdullah has said that Islamabad should come forth for dialogue on all bilateral issues, including the Kashmir imbroglio.
Talking to reporters on the sidelines of a function here, Abdullah said: "I just hope that they (Pakistan) will come forward to talk to India. We have always said that we are ready to talk even on Kashmir and we hope that that the government (in Islamabad) will try and see to the sentiments of the people of this nation also and try and see that those who are the perpetrators of the Mumbai blast are brought to books."
He also noted that the Indian Government has brought to book the perpetrators of the Samjhauta Express blast and they should be punished since India means serious business vis-à-vis law as such even Pakistan too must act on the planners and executors of the 26/11 attack on Mumbai.
"We are going to nail the people who have done Samjhauta Express blast, there is no doubt about it. India means business, India has investigated, India is already at it but we are sorry that on the other side we don't see the same amount of movements towards the Mumbai blasts. People who have done that to be brought to the trial," he added.
Sixty-eight people were killed when bombs were set off in two coaches of cross-country Samjhauta Express, running between Delhi and Lahore, around midnight on February 18, 2007 at Diwana near Panipat, 80 kilometres north of Delhi. (ANI)

By the time the memoirs are written and the made-for-TV movies taped, the shortness of the conflict may outstrip the non-creative moniker "Gulf War II." But for the moment, phrase making must wait for the lingering feelings of sadness to subside.
For all the awe-inspiring exploits of allied soldiers, the predominant emotion in these waning days of battle remains a numb horror at the cruelty of war. American casualties have been miraculously light, but statistics provide scant comfort to the families of dead soldiers. Ill-equipped Baghdad hospitals ring out with the cries of wounded civilians whose only offense was living in the capital of a repressive regime. Each day brings more obituaries of reporters and cameramen who died simply because they were doing their jobs under harrowing circumstances.
At a Tuesday military briefing in Qatar, Brig. Gen. Vincent Brooks felt obligated to declare, "This coalition does not target journalists."
Brooks was responding to the initial reports of the bombing of the office of the Al-Jazeera TV network and a tank round fired at the Palestine Hotel, where hundreds of journalists are staying. Two cameramen died at the hotel, as did a Jordanian reporter for Al-Jazeera. Brooks was attempting to stress that the attacks on journalists were accidental, but there was something terribly awry about a general having to explain that U.S. forces do not deliberately aim at reporters.
The immediate target of this war has been Saddam Hussein's regime, but the wider audience is the rest of the Arab world that looks to Al-Jazeera as the only news source independent of government control.
Americans may recoil at the tenor of Al-Jazeera's coverage, but the Bush administration has recognized the network's importance by making senior officials such as Colin Powell and Gen. Richard Myers available for interviews since the war began. But these outreach efforts provide little inoculation against the powerful imagery of an Al-Jazeera reporter dying because his Baghdad office was targeted by a U.S. bombing run.
Tragic incidents like this are the inevitable consequence of even the most painstakingly modulated military campaign. That is the unavoidable reality of war: Sometimes the wrong people are in the wrong place at the wrong time. The point is not to apportion blame. But patriotic sentiment should not blind us to the grim truth that every Iraqi civilian who is killed, wounded or rendered homeless by the allied assault fans the fires of anti-Americanism in the Middle East and elsewhere in the Islamic community.
That is why it is premature to let loose with self-congratulatory accolades about victory in Iraq. Yes, the stunning advance of American and British forces from Kuwait to the center of Baghdad in less than three weeks is the stuff of military legend. Certainly, the evidence suggests that Saddam's fighting force turned out to be a paper tiger. It would be fitting if Saddam met his end in a bunker surrounded by sycophants who dared not tell him that his armies were now phantoms and that the Americans freely ranged through Baghdad.
But the calculus on this war will not be computed on the day that whoever still represents the Iraqi government surrenders. The pluses and minuses will not be toted up at the moment when the last organized remnant of Iraqi resistance raises a white flag. The math will not be complete even if allied soldiers confirm an active Iraqi nuclear weapons program.
The true test will be how this war is remembered in Iraq and elsewhere in the broad swath of Islamic nations stretching from the Middle East to Indonesia. Military victory by itself is short-lived.
"In 1967, Israel won a war, but the PLO was born," says Pakistani foreign policy expert Husain Haqqani, now in Washington as a visiting scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. "In 1991, America won the Gulf War, but al-Qaeda was born. The question is: What will be born now?"
Many Americans may find it tempting to derisively dismiss anyone who raises questions about the long-term consequences of an American and British military occupation of Iraq. They can blithely argue that prewar skeptics badly misjudged the ease with which Saddam's armies were defeated. They can point to televised scenes of allied soldiers distributing food and water to grateful civilians in southern Iraq. They can find dozens of quotes from ordinary Iraqis expressing pleasure at being freed from Saddam's yoke.
But for all our noble intentions, U.S. soldiers and Marines have entered Baghdad as a conquering army. The security needs of allied forces will inevitably demand that many young Iraqi men be frisked at gunpoint and other civilians forced to wait in long lines at checkpoints in order to shop or go to work. It is easy to envision how the occupation could fuel Iraqi resentment. The danger will come if these small every-day humiliations turn into rage at the interim military government.
Embedded in our national character is the idealistic belief that people throughout the world would admire and emulate us if only they got to know ordinary Americans. It is the image of the smiling GI handing out Hershey bars on a Berlin street corner in 1945. Now we are again in the role of merciful conquerors. How we handle this heavy responsibility will ultimately matter more than the triumphal march into the center of Baghdad.

Endpoint backup in a nutshell
Endpoint backup enables automatic and configurable backing up of local files to a predefined destination at the local file system or at the remote endpoint backup server over the internet.
Easy to implement
Support for the endpoint backup solution is built-in to the Miradore's management agents, which allows to implement endpoint backup simply by enabling the endpoint backup feature from the system settings of Miradore Management Suite. When the feature is enabled, it is only required to specify the devices where the backup feature is going to be used, and the system will automatically install the latest endpoint backup version to the devices. After that, the endpoint backup feature is ready for use.
Manage backup settings centrally
In Miradore Management Suite, the managed devices' backup settings can be centrally managed with the backup job configuration items. The backup configuration items are used to store and distribute the backup configuration settings to the devices. This makes the management of the backup configurations extremely flexible and easy as it is possible to define multiple different backup configurations with unique scopes, and when the backup configurations change, the change is automatically updated to all devices within the item scope.
Highly configurable to fit your needs
Backup storage and the files to backup are defined in the settings of a backup job item. There it is possible to use environmental variables for referring to certain locations (e.g. home directory) dynamically on the managed devices. Additionally, file extension filters can be used to define file types which are included in or excluded from the backup. For example, one might want to exclude .tmp files from the backups.
In addition, administrators can define an automated running interval and a backup window for each backup job, and set the backup jobs to be either mandatory or optional. If a backup job has been defined as optional, then the device end-users are able to disable or edit the backup job. The administrators can also choose whether the backup jobs are executed using local system accounts or by using the end-user accounts.
Self-service for end-users
The endpoint backup solution has a graphical user interface available in 17 languages. The user interface normally stays in the background, but it is accessible for the users in all devices which have the endpoint backup enabled.
On the end-user's interface, the users can view the current backup status and start data recovery from the backup storage. The backups are stored up to 30 days after the removal of the original file. While restoring, the end-users can select the file(s) that they wish to recover, and they can even restore the files to another device. This is a useful feature especially if the user's computer is being replaced with a new one. The administrators can also allow the end-users to create their own device-specific backup jobs for their personal files.
The solution gathers backup status information of the past backups on a regular basis, and sends the information to Miradore Management Suite where the data is attached to the related asset configuration items. There is also multiple out-of-the-box reports for analyzing the backup status of all managed devices in Miradore Management Suite.
The following picture illustrates the infrastructure of the Miradore endpoint backup solution.

Rejuvenate Skin this Spring with Dermasonic Treatments
posted on
Ultrasound technology has made its way into the cosmetic and plastic surgery market, and many dermatologists are now offering an ultrasound-based treatment for skin rejuvenation. The Dermasonic system is designed to be a part of a "skin fitness" program, and helps to stimulate the facial tissues to promote healthy skin cell renewal. This innovative skin rejuvenation treatment is now available at many medical spas, cosmetic dermatology and cosmetic surgery centers in the United States. It could be just what you need to preserve and maintain a more youthful look this spring!
Set up a consultation with a cosmetic dermatologist in your area to find out more about the Dermasonic system. Your dermatologist can determine whether you are a good candidate for this innovative treatment, or for other skin rejuvenation treatments.
Key Benefits of Dermasonic Skin Rejuvenation Treatments
According to a report published in the Journal of American Society for Aesthetic Plastic surgery, "New skin-care product formulations, used in conjunction with ultrasound, will allow deeper penetration of topically applied rejuvenating agents into the skin, resulting in significantly improved aesthetic results".
Some of the key benefits of Dermasonic skin rejuvenation treatments include:
- Safe for most skin types
- Enables topical products to break through the skin barrier for deeper penetration
- Make skin more resilient
- Capable of producing a healthy, natural-looking, rosy glow
- May reduce some of the effects of aging
- Improves skin elasticity
- Improves the texture of the skin
- Increases moisture content of the skin
- Can clear up blemishes, age spots and skin discoloration
- Makes skin appear more youthful
Most people see and feel a difference in skin quality within one week of their treatment, and will continue to see results for up to six to eight weeks after the session. Dermasonic.com reports that test subjects reported a 40% improvement of hyperpigmentation and skin blotchiness by Week 6.
What to Expect with a Dermasonic Treatment
The ultrasound vibrations emitted from the Dermasonic wand are gentle enough for most skin types, but powerful enough to exfoliate the skin and push any topical products deeper into the skin's surface. The entire process also promotes the cell renewal and restoration process, so you can expect to see progressive results for several weeks and months after your treatment.
During the treatment, the skincare specialist or dermatologist passes a wand directly over the skin. The wand emits ultrasonic waves at a frequency of 32,000 vibrations per minute. This is enough to open small pathways between the cells and ensure products go deeper into the skin's surface. The cells continue to grow, reproduce and restore themselves, but at a much faster rate. The entire process revitalizes and nourishes the skin, and can help to improve the overall health, look and feel of the skin.
Learn more about skin rejuvenation treatments in our information guide, or set up a consultation with a cosmetic dermatologist in your area to find out if you are a good candidate for the Dermasonic treatment.

a dream?a nightmare?..reality.Mature
Just a dream, I wish!
If only it were just a nightmare.
I could just wake up and it'd be over.
But it's not.
It really happened.
I fear sleep, I'm afraid when I sleep it will happen again.
It does.
Every time they are there.
They never go away.
They haunt me every night.
It had gotten so bad that my mind wont even let me sleep.
I just lay awake.
It doesn't stop the images from happening.
The dialog is always so vivid and real.
When they touch me it's as if I can really feel it.
It hurts.
A piercing pane runs through my body.
It settles in my heart.
This feeling, the pain, the guilt, hurt, disgust and, dread.
The gloom just stays.
Everyday I am forced to walk this earth hating myself.
Condemning myself.
"I should have said something."
"I should have fought back harder"
"I shouldn't have provoked them"
I can't help but feel I could of done something!
People say "it's not your fault…you couldn't of stopped it…you were to young you didn't know better…lack of judgment…"
I just can't bear to hear those words…they hurt!
I am the one and only one who could of done anything!!!!
No one else was there to save me!!
I was on my own.
I was the only person who could and would protect me.
Great job I did….
I let myself get hurt.
I was a toy.
A piece in their games.
I meant nothing.
They just took what they wanted and left me to rot.
To slowly die…
Fading into a dark, scary place…
The mind.

The RadeonSI Gallium3D driver has picked up support for two more OpenGL ARB extensions outside of what's mandated by OpenGL 4.5.
The ARB_indirect_parameters and ARB_shader_draw_parameters extensions are now supported by the RadeonSI Gallium3D driver. These extensions aren't part of a released OpenGL version right now but are now wired in for RadeonSI. The Nouveau NVC0 driver already supported both of these extensions while the Intel driver also supported ARB_shader_draw_parameters.
ARB_indirect_parameters introduces the concept of a parameter buffer to store parameters for certain indirect drawing commands. ARB_shader_draw_parameters adds new built-in variables to GLSL: gl_BaseVertexARB, gl_BaseInstanceARB, and gl_DrawID. They "contain the values passed in the baseVertex and baseInstance parameters, respectively. Shaders provided by the application may use these variables to offset gl_VertexID or gl_InstanceID if desired, or use them for any other purpose."
In addition to enabling these extensions, the ARB_multi_draw_indirect extension is now properly accelerated for RadeonSI.
The commit enabling these new feature capabilities is straight-forward. However, the work does depend upon "sufficiently uptodate" firmware blobs. The functionality also only works in conjunction with the AMDGPU kernel driver for newer GCN GPUs as the Radeon DRM driver doesn't offer a way to expose the firmware version numbers for checking compatibility with the necessary firmware images.

Ray Kurzweil Law of Accelerating Returns Explained
Adam Rifkin stashed this in Accelerating Returns
Stashed in: The Future, Turing, Singularity!, Ray Kurzweil!, Ray Kurzweil
Accelerating Returns mean that information technology progresses exponentially:
Google chief engineer Ray Kurzweil made headlines with his provocative yet often accurate predictions, like that a computer would beat a human in chess (already happened) or that self-driving cars would take us everywhere (starting to happen).
But, to paraphrase fellow futurist Peter Diamandis, Kurzweil's brilliance isn't in the predictions themselves.
It's in what the predictions represent — Kurzweil's core thesis, a little thing called "the Law of Accelerating Returns."
It states that "fundamental measures of information technology follow predictable and exponential trajectories."
"The reality of information technology is it progresses exponentially," he told the Financial Times. "30 steps linearly gets you to 30. One, two, three, four, step 30 you're at 30. With exponential growth, it's one, two, four, eight. Step 30, you're at a billion."
The most famous example is "Moore's Law," named for Intel cofounder Gordon Moore.
In 1965, Moore predicted that "the number of transistors incorporated in a chip will approximately double every 24 months."
In case you haven't heard, Moore's Law has held true. It's been integral to computers shrinking from filling up a room to filling up your pocket, all while becoming way more powerful.
To drive home the power of exponential growth, Kurzweil likes to use a folktale.
Here's his explanation from the 2001 essay, "The Singularity is Near":
I am fond of telling the tale of the inventor of chess and his patron, the Emperor of China.
In response to the emperor's offer of a reward for his new beloved game, the inventor asked for a single grain of rice on the first square, two on the second square, four on the third, and so on. The Emperor quickly granted this seemingly benign and humble request.
One version of the story has the emperor going bankrupt as the 63 doublings ultimately totaled 18 million trillion grains of rice. At ten grains of rice per square inch, this requires rice fields covering twice the surface area of the Earth, oceans included. Another version of the story has the inventor losing his head.
Therein lies the most terrifying, exciting, and mystifying aspect of Kurzweil's thesis.
To him, we're somewhere in the middle of that chessboard.
"It should be pointed out that as the emperor and the inventor went through the first half of the chess board, things were fairly uneventful," Kurzweil continues. "The inventor was given spoonfuls of rice, then bowls of rice, then barrels. By the end of the first half of the chess board, the inventor had accumulated one large field's worth (4 billion grains), and the emperor did start to take notice."
And it's only when a technology like a smartphone comes in and suddenly shifts our entire culture that we start to realize how quickly things are accelerating.
That's because, Kurzweil says, humans are linear by nature — and technology is exponential.
Technology's relentless, predictable, and exponential growth will, according to the law of accelerating returns, bring humans into the era that Kurzweil is most closely associated with, the singularity.
"As exponential growth continues to accelerate into the first half of the twenty-first century," he writes. "It will appear to explode into infinity, at least from the limited and linear perspective of contemporary humans."
The singularity (or Singularity) is used to describe the era when artificial intelligence supplants human intelligence as the most-capable processing power around.

Plastics became widespread after the second World War, and as a material, plastic is still relatively young. Microscopic plastic particles, or microplastics, have caught the eye of researchers only quite recently. Microplastics come with plenty of questions, but for the time being, only few answers are available.
"Microplastics are a Pandora's Box of a kind, or at least an infinite source of research questions. However, research evidence relating to microplastics and their effects remains scarce," says Researcher Samuel Hartikainen from the University of Eastern Finland. His research focuses on the chemical properties of microplastics.
Whirlpools of plastics and microplastics in oceans have received plenty of attention in the media. However, microplastic concentrations in lakes and other closed bodies of water may be higher than in oceans, where the water flows freely.
"Microplastics are present in practically all bodies of water, although the remotest ones haven't been scientifically studies, of course. We can nevertheless assume that airborne microplastics have found their way also in these waters," says Research Manager Arto Koistinen, who also studies microplastics chemistry.
Microscopic particles of plastic have also been found in the intestines of fish and other seafood. Microplastics aren't poisonous as such, but they are known to absorb hormone disruptors and heavy metals. So, can microplastics find their way on our plates, and can hazardous materials absorbed by microplastics make our food poisonous?
Novel synthesis method developed at University of Eastern Finland opens up new possibilities for utilising Li-ion batteries
Lithium-ion batteries are a rapidly growing energy storage method due to their high energy density, especially in mobile applications such as personal electronics and electric cars. However, the materials currently used in Li-ion batteries are expensive, many of them, like lithium cobalt oxide (belonging to the EU Critical Raw Materials, CRMs), are difficult to handle and dispose of. Additionally, batteries using these materials have relatively short lifetimes.
New novel materials are being developed for next generation Li-ion batteries. One promising anode-cathode material pair is lithium titanate countered by lithium iron phosphate. The raw materials for these components are readily available; and they are safe to use, and easy to dispose of or recycle. And most importantly, batteries manufactured using these materials have significantly longer cycle and calendar lifetimes compared to the current battery technology. However, the main problem of these new materials is their low electric conductivity.
A study by University of Eastern Finland scientists opens up new electricity storage applications. The results were published recently in the Journal of Alloys and Compounds, which has a large audience especially in Asian countries, where most of the Li-ion battery manufacturing takes place currently.
"The electric conductivity problem can be solved by producing nanosized, high surface area crystalline materials, or by modifying the material composition with highly conductive dopants. We have succeeded in doing both for lithium titanate (LTO) in a simple, one-step gas phase process developed here at the UEF Fine Particle and Aerosol Technology Laboratory," says Researcher Tommi Karhunen.
The University of Eastern Finland (Finnish: Itä-Suomen yliopisto) is a university in Finland with three campuses in Joensuu, Kuopio, and Savonlinna.
It was formed in 2010 by a merger of two previously independent universities.
The University of Eastern Finland is a multidisciplinary university which is internationally recognised for its competitive research and education. The four faculties of the UEF offer teaching in nearly 100 major subjects and degree programmes. The university's annual student intake is approximately 2,200 and the university attracts nearly 9,500 applications for admission every year. The university of offers Bachelor's, Master's and doctoral level education in 13 fields of study: pharmacy, dentistry, humanities, education, economics and business administration, natural sciences, medicine, forest sciences, psychology, theology, health sciences, social sciences, and law.
The University of Eastern Finland has three areas of expertise in research: Forests and the Environment, Health and Well-Being, and New Technologies and Materials.
