How can I help my child develop a growth mindset?
- March 15, 2019
- Posted by: SumLogix Team
- Category: Psychology
This is next blog in the series on fixed and growth mindsets based on research by Stanford professor, Dr. Carol Dweck. The links to the previous blogs are below:
1. Fixed and growth mindset children and math
2. Is my child in a growth or a fixed mindset?
Dr. Dweck's research shows that children with a growth mindset are better able to handle challenges than children with a fixed mindset. The children with a growth mindset can learn new things more quickly and adapt faster. They are more resilient and persistent.
As mentioned in the previous blog, "Is my child in a growth or a fixed mindset?", it is easy to tell when a child has a growth or a fixed mindset by giving him or her a challenging task like a difficult math problem to do. A child with a fixed mindset will avoid or give up quickly, while a child with a growth mindset will persist and will try and solve the problem.
If your child is in a fixed mindset and you want him or her to develop a growth mindset, below are a few action steps you can take:
1. Give him/her challenging tasks to do or problems to solve. However, be careful that you do not give tasks that are beyond his/her capabilities or require use of a concept that he/she has never done. Appropriate tasks or problems should be achievable based on the current skills and knowledge that a child has. Often times you might start of with something a little easy, which a child might be able to do without difficulty and then move to something harder.
2. Initially, a child will likely react negatively. We have had reactions like a child calling a problem stupid, tearing up the paper, crying in frustration, or giving up and sulking. If the child reacts negatively to challenging tasks or problems, tell him/her that those tasks and problems are what will make him/her grow. Bring the child back to his/her comfort level and again take the child out of the comfort zone.
3. Discuss the growth and fixed mindsets with your child. There are several articles and videos on the growth and fixed mindsets in addition to the blogs on our website that might help you.
4. Praise your child for hard work and persistence. Use phrases such as, "You did very well by attempting that problem and finding out X or Y.", "You worked hard and it shows in your approach to that problem.", etc.
5. Do not praise your child for intrinsic attributes that he/she has, such as, intelligence. Do not use phrases such as, "You figured it out! You are so smart.", "I know you are smart and that you can do it.", etc.
6. Use stories of failures. Most successful people did not get success without their fair share of failures. If a child realizes that failure is a part of the learning process, he/she will accept it more readily.
7. Do not give up. It's not an easy process to change the mindset of a child. But, it can be done.
We hope that by using the tips in this blog, you will be able to change your child's mindset to a growth mindset.

Not very good. 2 emotionally stunted brothers waste their youth feeling sorry for themselves.
The Motel Life is a well written film. All aspects of production are top notch. The drawing/animation element adds a unique layer to this dark and sad story; as in, it draws the viewer into a deeper level of emotion. Moreover, the acting by all involved is excellent.
I didn't think I could make it through to the final scenes because it was so hard a life, all the way I felt endeared to the boys, and I didn't want to see them go down in flames. The stories within the story, the drawings and the love, all made it tough love with a silver and gold lining. By the last quarter I was a total believer. I wanted it all to work out somehow, without the obvious aiding and abetting that spelled doom from the law. It was a jewel of a film. At some point the triumph of the fantasies won my heart. I guess I am feeling a big reward for sticking through the pain. I will want to watch it again.
really didn't like it. very slow. did appreciate the animated story bits, however I can't recommend this film.
Totally absorbing, and totally Reno! The acting was superb and thought provoking.

I've been talking to Stephen Windsor-Lewis this morning. Stephen is chair of the ICA, the internal comms arm of the UK's Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR). I've been on the ICA national committee for about four years and during that time we've done some fantastic, highly visible and groundbreaking stuff.
But we've been a little quiet of late.
Our events programme has been limited and, with a finite amount of cash in the bank, we've struggled with to find the appropriate level of admin support to turn our ideas into reality. This is always a risk when an organisation is made up of busy professionals who, no matter how committed they are to the cause, have day jobs to focus on.
But it's time to reinvigorate the ICA.
With the support of the CIPR we're close to cracking our admin issue and an exciting programme of activity is just around the corner.
We're also looking to add new blood to the committee, expanding it and moving towards a more 'federal' structure with small groups taking responsibility for specific areas like events, research and education.
The ICA, alongside Communicators in Business (CiB) and the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC), has raised the bar for internal communicators in the UK and helped make our fledgling profession what it is today. We're committed to continuing with this mission.
If you're interested in getting involved drop me a line…. and do let me know if you've got any great ideas for events or research.

Have you ever wondered why communication with your mate was so easy when dating? Do you remember all the nights of reduced sleep because hours effortlessly slipped by while you enjoyed talking about everything? At that time, your relationship was one of full support. After taking on the world together, communication became different, strained, and sometimes you may even avoid communication. How does that happen? Why does it happen? Among other reasons, once your life becomes one, you share the same problems. You are no longer an outside observer and supporter; the stresses and problems of your mate, are now also yours.
To complicate the matter, communication styles are often very different between the sexes. This YouTube video is brilliant at highlighting these differences.
The Video Nailed IT! Our communication styles can make conversations more challenging. Learning to value each communication filter is a key to unlocking your superpower as a couple.
Not only do men and women communicate differently, but all people have various love languages. What communicates love to you, may not be the same for your mate. "The 5 Love Languages" by Gary Chapman is a fascinating read to improve the bond between couples. The book is an oldie but goodie; I highly recommend reading it. The premise of the book is learning to show love in your relationship the way that your mate will understand.
An individual may feel loved when their partner spends time with them; for others, it is receiving gifts, acts of service, accommodation, or simply touch. Understanding what makes your mate "feel" loved, and showing love in that way greatly improves your bond. Often we show love in ways we feel loved, but if that isn't the way our mate interprets love, they may not be receiving our message. Conversely, you may not be perceiving their expressions of love as well. The book sells for less than eight dollars, click the link of the title to view on Amazon.
Not a reader of books? I just read a great Blog on the 5 Communication Mistakes That Kill Relationships. on Mindbodygreen.com. Another great read, especially if you do not have the time to read a book! Number 3 and 4 stood out to me.
3. Not communicating a problem or harsh truth
In our attempt to blend two separate families into one, meant confronting harsh truths on both sides early on! I remember the moment I felt we were not going to be that power couple we envisioned. It seemed despite our intense love and commitment to hard work, we just did not have the communication skills. I can also remember the moment we came back to the conversation, both willing to be stronger than the issue at hand. It can be very tough and tiring to see difficult conversations through to resolution. The ability to talk through any problem and work through harsh truths are the lifeblood of strong relationships.
No. 4 on the MBG list was Not Communicating at all (or being passive aggressive). Cutting off communication, or speaking/acting aggressively may be an attempt at self-preservation but a relationship is being murdered. Killing communication is intentionally killing the relationship. Wow, I thought this point was powerful and worth sharing. Even when it is difficult, do your utmost to always act in love. You will not be perfect, but you'll get it right most of the time. Explaining to your mate that you may need to delay communication to a time when you are emotionally or mentally prepared is not cutting communication. Always let your partner know that you are committed to the conversation even if you can not have the conversation at the moment.
Solutions in life and marriage are not always simple. If you want a simple happy marriage, effective communication is a must. Keep committed to open, honest and loving communication for a powerful life. Communication is a skill. When both partners work at it they reap many rewards. With continued practice, the difficult conversations get easier. One becomes more comfortable with dwelling in the problem until the answer becomes apparent to both partners. There will always be difficult conversations, yet they will become easier to have.

To: All State Governments
Retirement Village Reforms
This campaign has ended.
Implement retirement village reforms inclusive of the following:-
1. Create greater fairness in the financial outcomes for residents for the provision of residential accommodation to older Australians.
2. Total revision of all Retirement Villages Legislation.
3. Easier access to the law for residents through the appointment of an industry Ombudsman.
4. Simpler contracts.
5. Greater clarity as to who is responsible for ongoing costs.
6. Amendment to the legislated definition of a retirement village to enable occupancy by way of a Residential Tenancies Agreement.
7. Outlaw the Deferred Management Fee model where the in-going fee does not reflect a relevant discount to the asking price of a commensurate property within the general community.
Why is this important?
For decades legislators have attempted to find an appropriate balance between the cost retirees should pay for the provision of residential accommodation within a 'Retirement Village'. As the industry has moved away from the Not For Profit to the Private Enterprise sector the Deferred Management Fee model is now failing Australian retirees. The transfer of capital wealth/value from retirees to operators in these later times is now grossly excessive when compared to the cost of residential accommodation within the general community. It is time for an end to this practice and we call on all State Legislators to implement the changes as outlined above in the best interest of all current and future Australian retirees.

New Poll Asked Voters What They Think Of Donald Trump. Here's What They Said
In the year since Donald Trump was elected president on a promise to "drain the swamp" of Washington's corruption, Americans have become more, not less, convinced that Washington is corrupt and that the Trump White House is the most corrupt entity in U.S. government. They also think the president is "an idiot."
According to a new public opinion poll released by Quinnipiac University Tuesday, Americans don't believe that Trump is cleaning up the government. In fact, the opposite is true: 58 percent of people surveyed say most, or all of the officials in the Trump administration are corrupt.
Americans aren't damning Trump with faint praise, they're just damning him.
When asked for the first word that pops into their heads when they think of the commander-in-chief, U.S. voters gave such glowing descriptors as "idiot," "liar" and "a**hole," according to the survey.
In the Quinnipiac sample, 53 voters (not, as in many polls, 53 percent of those surveyed) came up with "idiot," 44 with "liar" and 36 with "incompetent." Another 26 gave the response "a**hole," while 19 said "moron," 18 said "arrogant" and 17 said "disgusting."
"President Donald Trump is known for hurling insults and he's getting slammed right back. 'Idiot' is just one of a string of insults thrown his way by American voters," said Quinnipiac University Poll Assistant Director Tim Malloy in a release about the poll, which echoed the results of a similar survey conducted in May.
Other words the pollsters heard more infrequently about Trump, but at least five times each, included "businessman," "jerk," "powerful" and "evil."
"Of the 48 words used by five or more voters, 30 words are negative," Quinnipiac said in announcing the results.

— Quinnipiac Poll (@QuinnipiacPoll) December 12, 2017
American voters also had a dark view of Trump when it comes to the lingering investigation of Russian influence on U.S. politics: Some 57% of those polled by Quinnipiac said Trump has tried to "derail or obstruct the investigation into the Russian interference in the 2016 election."
More than half, or 52%, said the Trump campaign colluded with the Russian government. Just less than half, or 48%, said Trump did not collude with the Russian government to sway the outcome of the election.
Either way, a large majority of American voters—by 73% to 22%—believes Russia attempted to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election. About 41% said that interference changed the outcome of the vote.
About 63% of Quinnipiac respondents said they disapprove of Trump's support for Moore, and 60% said Moore should be expelled from the Senate if he defeats Democrat Doug Jones and wins the election.
Yes, the Trump administration is the most corrupt in modern U.S. history. He has stocked his agencies with lobbyists for industries that were regulated by the agencies, and his administration has been rocked by almost daily legal and investigatory bombshells related to corruption.
The president's hiring of his daughter Ivanka and son-in-law are at odds with the federal anti-nepotism law, which states that "a public official may not appoint, employ, promote, advance, or advocate for appointment, employment, promotion, or advancement, in or to a civilian position in the agency in which he is serving or over which he exercises jurisdiction or control any individual who is a relative of the public official."
Trump is being sued in Maryland and Washington, D.C., for violating the "emoluments clause" of the U.S. Constitution by running his Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C.; Paul Manafort, the second Trump campaign manager, has been indicted on money-laundering charges; Trump's first national security adviser, Michael Flynn, has pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI in an investigation that also uncovered secret lobbying work for the Turkish government; and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, failed to disclose $1 billion in loans tied to his real estate company, and has repeatedly had to revise his financial-disclosure forms to add items he "forgot."
At least six Trump Cabinet secretaries are being investigated for exorbitant travel expenses, including using government planes for private business, security details or business dealings, and the list goes on.

O.K. So why the importance of a "spiritual gifts" discussion? Quite simply. From what I can see, there may be some confusion regarding what they all are and their importance or purpose.
If you are serious about your Christian foundation, you should want to know what your spiritual gifts are so you can develop them.
Many are listed in the Bible. What are they and where? Hold on for a second.
Let's start by saying that all of our abilities, talents and spiritual gifts come from the giver of all gifts (see James 1:17a; Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change). We make comments to each other like, "Wow, she is a gifted pianist", or "she is a gifted athlete", or "she is a gifted artist", or "he really knows cars inside and out", or "he is a great carpenter", or "he can sell anything". We are certainly not talking about spiritual gifts; we are talking about a person's ability or their natural talents.
Most of us know what our natural talents and abilities are, and as we practice them, they only get better and more fine-tuned.
Natural talents and abilities are gifts too; just not in the same sense as spiritual gifts. For example, I have a friend who has great musical rhythm. (I certainly don't) He has been a drummer since we was a little kid. He has gotten better with age because he works at it. He certainly doesn't know why he has rhythm, but he does. This is God given. His practicing over the years has made his drumming in the worship band even better. Ask an accomplished guitarist why they are so good. Usually, it's "I don't know, I just do it and practice." Great abilities, great talents, but mind you, not spiritual gifts. Because it isn't a spiritual gift doesn't mean one can't use it for God's glory.
In fact, I believe that if Christians within the local church body would simply utilize their God-given natural talents and abilities more fully (the same abilities they utilize at their secular jobs), we would likely be more effective. Seems natural to me.
For example, think about all of the Christian, professional teachers out there in the secular world teaching grade school through college. If they taught the Bible in their local church at differing levels? Wow! Think about all of the CPAs out there who could help guide families in the local church with developing budgets.
Servanthood (Kindness) Evangelism is likely built on this principle. Showing God's love in a practical way is the key here. For example, get all of your car mechanics together (great natural and learned skill) in the local church and have them do a free "tune up" or oil change for the public. This is a nice touch. What the church can think about doing with this principle is almost endless. See Steve Sjogren's book in 1993, "Conspiracy of Kindness".
To differentiate, there are the many "spiritual gifts" talked about in the Bible that we should know about also. We all have at least one, and maybe several. God has made us all unique people gifted uniquely. You should be encouraged to know our gifts.
And God wants us to use of our spiritual gifts. Makes sense. "Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms."-1 Peter 4:10 Bill Hybels, in Honest to God?
We will get into the meat of the discussion next time.

If you've been living in NY more than 1 month – yes, only 1 month – you would know what I mean. It's tough. It's a city that makes you question your purpose and motives and mental health every day.
Finding an apartment is a hassle, a decent roommate who doesn't wear your undies when she (or he) is out is tough. Getting a job that pays enough to let you have boozy brunch once a week, and dinner maybe twice and drinks here and there like there's no tomorrow is more difficult than anything. Unless you're looking for a boyfriend.
You download all the apps and swipe-swipe, try to go to all the damn home parties – even if they sound terrible, stay active, join meet-ups, do hiking trips, be alert all the time, take classes yet it's still hard. You wonder where all the decent looking guys with some sort of a job disappeared to, or how they're all settled down or in love, and when did that all happen. And why you didn't get the memo. No answer…
If you're a hopeless romantic and trying to find love online, read up and learn when to take a break. And once you're ready to take a break from that miserable trying to find the one online constantly by swiping at least 4 hours a day period, take a step out to the lovely NY bar scene.
Because who you're looking for is out there. And there are so many awesome spots in NY where you can meet the interesting real people of this amazing city. For a date, for making a new friend or just for a night of fun. Up to you.
Highlands – West Village
Come here during the week and sit at the bar. You can thank us later.
Bell, Book & Candle – West Village
Friday happy hour is the best time. Definitely, sit or hang out by the bar. It gets a good, friendly after work crowd.
Leave Rochelle Out Of It – LES
Rochelle's can't go wrong. Except Sunday's. Then it's either dead or loud from some football game.
LelaBar – West Village
It's a very cute and romantic wine bar that if you happen to meet someone there, you will definitely visit again for a date night with him/ her.
Summit – East Village
I prefer weeknights since it's quieter, but Summit is ok also during weekends unless you're very late and it's packed and you didn't excel your lip reading skills. yet They have great cocktails, decent oyster happy hour and a very cute DJ.
Houston Hall – West Village
During the week after hours is the greatest time. It's an awesome spot to make friends or pick up some dates for the rest of the week.
Wilfie & Nell – West Village
One of my favorites. And very well know as a pick-up spot. It always has a good vibe and nice looking crowd.
Cubbyhole – West Village
You can go there any day of the week, and it's always and always fun. It's a lesbian bar with certainly a fun and friendly crowd and 80s music. And cheap drinks.
Marie's Crisis – West Village
Come here any day. Yes, it's usually packed, but packed with people singing to some Broadway tunes. It's a gay bar to meet the interesting characters of New York.

Manage Inflammation to Reduce Colorectal Cancer Risk
Posted by Fred Hardinge on
A healthy diet and weight lowers inflammation and reduces risk of colon cancer.
When a tissue is chronically inflamed it often stimulates pathways in the cells that increase cancer risk. Eating colorful foods that are aromatic, nutrient-dense and low in calories tend to reduce inflammation and help protect against colorectal cancer. Healthy eating also tends to promote a healthy weight. Stored fat in the belly may play a strong role in inflammation, increasing the risk of the same cancer.
PositiveTip; Tackle inflammation with a healthy diet and weight control, and have regular screenings.

Binge Drinking in the U.S.,
Posted by Fred Hardinge on
U.S. adults consume about 17.5 billion total binge drinks annually.
Researchers from CDC studied data from 400,000 U.S. adults and found 1 in 6 U.S. adults (17%) binge drink more than one time per week. Binge drinking is defined as 5 or more drinks for men and four or more drinks for women at one occasion. This accounts for 80,000 annual deaths. Binge drinking is a problem across the lifespan and is more common among men than women.
PositiveTip: Choosing to avoid any alcohol will prevent you from binge drinking, too!

Cigar Smoking Raises All-cause Mortality
Posted by Fred Hardinge on
All forms of combustible tobacco pose health risks to the user.
There are some who smoke cigars because they think they are not as harmful as cigarettes. A 26 year study of almost 360,000 U.S. adults, found those who exclusively smoked cigarettes experienced twice the risk of never-smokers. The all-cause mortality of those who exclusively smoked cigars was 20% higher than never-smokers, but each group of smokers had a significantly elevated risk of dying from tobacco related cancers.
PositiveTip: No safe form of tobacco exists!

New Questions About the IQOS System
Posted by Fred Hardinge on
Smokeless tobacco device may not live up to safety claims.
The "I Quit Original Smoking" (IQOS) smokeless tobacco device may not be as safe as the manufacturer claims. Researchers evaluated its performance under several different puffing protocols as well as cleaning conditions. They found it is not fully a "heat-not-burn" system, as the tobacco did char, and the plastic film used to cool the vapor easily released a toxic chemical. This device is available internationally but not in the U.S.
PositiveTip: Quit smoking all forms of tobacco. It is still the safest option!

Excess Weight Leads to a Shorter Life
Posted by Fred Hardinge on
The "obesity paradox" may not be a real benefit.
Taking a life-course perspective, researchers have found obesity results in a shorter lifespan and an increased risk of cardiovascular (CVD) morbidity and mortality compared with those with a normal BMI (weight). Overweight men and women of all ages developed CVD at a younger age and spent more years living with it, despite not living as long.
PositiveTip: Maintaining a healthy BMI significantly improves quality of life, functional capacity, and decreases disability.

Teens who use e-cigarettes exposed to carcinogens.
Carcinogen metabolites have been found in the urine of teens who used only e-cigarettes on an average of 13 times per month. The study group included those who both smoked cigarettes and e-cigarettes--their levels were even higher.
PositiveTip: Contrary to tobacco industry claims, teenagers must be warned about the potential risk of e-cigarettes.

Warning: Avoid "Miracle Mineral Solution"
Posted by Fred Hardinge on
Again, the dangers of fake cures!
Also promoted as "Miracle Mineral Supplement" (MMS), this product when used as directed produces an industrial bleach (chlorine dioxide) that is very toxic. It is distributed on the internet and claims to treat many unrelated diseases warns the FDA (2010). An autistic child in Indianapolis has been removed from home because the mother reportedly learned on a Facebook group that MMS could heal her child. She was adding MMS to the child's food.

Can a broken heart be fixed?
Today is known as Valentine's Day around the world--celebrated with cards, greetings, special favors, chocolate, and loving expressions. Yet for many, this day is empty and meaningless--maybe completely opposite of its intended purpose. Most of us experience deep heartbreak at some point in our lives. If that is where you find yourself today, take a few minutes to watch psychologist Guy Winch talk about fixing a broken heart. We think you will find it very helpful.

Former First Lady Grace Mugabe has entered an appearance to defend the $100 000 defamation lawsuit filed against her early this month by four small-scale gold miners whom she has clashed with over ownership of Smithfield Farm in Mazowe,
The small-scale miners, Shepherd Nyazvigo and Phillip Makanya filed the lawsuit against Grace on April 2 accusing her of labelling them illegal miners and thieves. They claimed the statement had caused their mining business to decline.
Grace is being represented by lawyers from Chivore Dzingirai Group of Lawyers.
"Be pleased to take notice that on April 24, 2018 the defendant (Grace) entered an appearance to defend in this matter. Further take notice that the defendant's address for service is that of her undersigned legal practitioners of record. The summons was served on the defendant on April 20, 2018," read part of the notice of appearance to defend.
Although Grace is yet to get into details of the matter, the two miners in their joint declaration said they were the registered owners of a mining syndicate called Mondo 4, situated in the gold-rich disputed Smithfield Farm.
The pair said on April 2, 2018, Grace told the media that the miners had invaded her farm and were unlawfully carrying out mining activities including destroying her citrus plantation.
"She (Grace) further alleges that the plaintiffs (Nyazvigo and Makanya) whom she referred to as illegal miners stole her property. The defendant (Grace) personally confronted the second plaintiff (Makanya) and in the presence of their employees she said that the second plaintiff is a thief who is stealing from her farm," the miners said.
The two miners further said utterances by Grace and the resultant publication in the local newspaper portraying them as "lawlessness people who are involved in illegal mining activities" in her property and also damaging and destroying her lemon trees, had negatively impacted on their mining business.
". . . The plaintiffs are now being viewed by their business associates, colleagues and members of the public and society at large as thieves and illegal miners and yet the plaintiffs hold licences to carry out mining operations thereon."

Pearson v. Philip Morris, Inc.
Plaintiffs were two individuals who purchased Marlboro Light cigarettes in Oregon. Defendant Philip Morris was the company that manufactured, marketed, and sold Marlboro Lights. Plaintiffs brought this action under Oregon's Unlawful Trade Practices Act (UTPA), alleging that defendant misrepresented that Marlboro Lights would deliver less tar and nicotine than regular Marlboros and that, as a result of that misrepresentation, plaintiffs suffered economic losses. Plaintiffs moved to certify a class consisting of approximately 100,000 individuals who had purchased at least one pack of Marlboro Lights in Oregon over a 30-year period (from 1971 to 2001). The trial court denied plaintiffs' motion after concluding that individual inquiries so predominated over common ones that a class action was not a superior means to adjudicate the putative class's UTPA claim. On appeal, a majority of the Court of Appeals disagreed with the trial court's predominance assessment, concluding that the essential elements of the UTPA claim could be proved through evidence common to the class. The majority remanded to the trial court to reconsider whether, without the trial court's predominance assessment, a class action was a superior means of litigating the class claims. In granting defendant's petition for review, the Supreme Court considered whether common issues predominated for purposes of the class action certification decision, and what a private plaintiff in a UTPA case of this nature had to prove. The Supreme Court concluded that the trial court properly denied class certification, and accordingly, it reversed the contrary decision of the Court of Appeals and remanded to the trial court for further proceedings on the individual plaintiffs' claims.

Photos from IFAW, WTI and CWRC
During the second round of devastating floods that hit Kaziranga National Park this past weekend, the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) and The Wildlife Trust of India (WTI) teamed once again to save and transfer five rhino calves, ranging from one week to six months of age, to safety at the Centre for Wildlife Rehabilitation and Conservation (CWRC).
The park is reportedly 85 percent submerged now due to the intense flooding.
As noted on the IFAW website, the first rhino calf saved was a one-week-old male with his umbilical cord still attached. The newborn was rescued through the joint efforts of the CWRC Mobile Veterinary Service (MVS) unit and the Kaziranga Forest Rescue team early Sunday morning.
The calf was found in a severely stressed condition, having been separated from his mother during the sudden rise in water levels on the fringes of the national park.
The MVS team, led by CWRC veterinarian Dr. Daoharu Baro, reached the area in response to an emergency call from the Kaziranga Forest Authority. Dr. Baro examined the calf and decided that he should be transported to CWRC for his betterment.
A female rhino calf, approximately five to six months old, was then found stranded in a flood-hit household in Baghmari. She was rescued by a Kaziranga Forest Rescue team led by veterinarian Dr. Debabrata Phukan and, given her condition, transported to CWRC for stabilization and care.
Another male rhino calf, five to six months old was rescued by a Kaziranga Forest Rescue team as he was struggling for survival near the inundated Interpretation Centre building at Mihimukh, in the Central Forest Range of Kaziranga.
CWRC MVS veterinarian Dr. Samshul Ali conducted the rescue operation with the forest department team. The calf was transported to the nearest road by boat and later brought to CWRC for further care.
A third male rhino calf, nearly two months old, was rescued by frontline forest staff of the Agoratoli Range and brought to CWRC Sunday evening.
"The four rhino calves admitted today are all stressed due to the trauma they have undergone, also by being caught in the floodwaters and separated from their mothers," said Dr. Panjit Basumatary, lead veterinarian at CWRC said in a post on the IFAW website. "They are being provided the requisite care and are under round-the-clock observation in our Large Animal Nursery."
Yesterday morning, yet another female rhino calf was saved after taking shelter in the backyard of a household of flood affected Na Jan village near Bagori, the Western Range Forest of Kaziranga National Park. In a joint effort by the CWRC rescue team and the Kaziranga Forest Authority, she was also brought in for care on Monday.
Meanwhile, the rhino calf rescued in July's flooding has stabilized and was recently introduced to the older rhino residents; eight of which were rescued in last year's flood.
Sadly, this year's flood is expected to be even worse than the one that hit last year.

WASHINGTON – The Cubs already visited the White House. The Washington Nationals are still the team with so much more to prove.
Dusty Baker needs this October to cement his spot in Cooperstown, the way Joe Maddon put the final bullet point on his Hall of Fame resume. Bryce Harper and Kris Bryant took different routes out of Las Vegas, but only one has the World Series ring to go with the Rookie of the Year/MVP hardware. While the clock is ticking on Max Scherzer and that championship parade down Pennsylvania Avenue, the Jon Lester megadeal essentially paid for itself.
Cubs vs. Nationals is supposed to be a circle-your-calendar event. Except the Cubs rolled out a Cactus League lineup on Monday night and Nationals Park featured rows and rows of empty seats amid a crowd of 29,651 where the celebrity vibe became more George Will than A-Rod and J-Lo.
The Cubs still hung on for a 5-4 victory that might have been their best under-the-circumstances win in a season that will hit the halfway point this weekend, showing why they're the defending champs.
"It is exciting – don't get me wrong," Maddon said. "It's just that we're attending with a different group than we thought we would be attending this party with.
"And that's OK, because these guys now are getting the kind of experience that is going to be very beneficial to us in August and September."
A rash of injuries forced the Cubs to start Jeimer Candelario at third base and Mark Zagunis in right field and Javier Baez kept making highlight-reel plays while Addison Russell rested his sore right shoulder, leaping to grab to a Harper line drive and racing across the left-field line and sliding into the wall to make another spectacular catch in foul territory.
"Games like this is what we need right now – competition," said Baez, who struck out in his first three at-bats and finished at 2-for-5. "Playing tight games like this will make us make adjustments better and be more in the game."
With Kyle Schwarber more than 1,000 miles away in Des Moines and hitting the reset button at Triple-A Iowa, Willson Contreras became the leadoff hitter of the day and launched Gio Gonzalez's fifth pitch of the game into the left-field seats.
The young Cubs manufactured their next run in the eighth inning when Baez stole third base and scored on Albert Almora Jr.'s perfectly placed bunt into the no man's land between the pitcher's mound and the first-base line. The bullpen is Washington's Achilles' heel and showed with a three-run meltdown in the ninth inning.
Eddie Butler – who began the season in the Iowa rotation – neutralized a powerful Washington lineup while getting just one strikeout in five innings. Maddon pushed a lot of bullpen buttons, not going to Wade Davis for a four-out save and then summoning the All-Star closer when Hector Rondon couldn't work with a five-run cushion.
In a dramatic finish, Davis survived giving up three hits, a walk and a wild pitch, striking out Ryan Zimmerman with a curveball to end a game that lasted 3 hours and 54 minutes.
"To play so well and not win that game would have really been awful," Maddon said.
The Cubs needed this with Scherzer and Stephen Strasburg looming the next two nights. But for all of their talent and regular-season dominance – three division titles since 2012 and close to a 100-win pace this year – the Nationals still haven't won a playoff series in a city where the Senators once won it all in 1924.
This could be an epic matchup in October, bursting with stars and pumping with bad blood. Just listen to Baker during his pregame media briefing, responding to a question about a power hitter like Anthony Rizzo batting leadoff: "I ain't worried about the Cubs. They can do their thing."
Or Baker dismissing Maddon's mind games and the possibility of intentionally walking Harper when Zimmerman is a Triple Crown contender: "It's a new time and a new day."
The last word from Maddon, who keeps insisting the 39-37 Cubs have a hot streak in them and that he digs the youth movement: "If this was a spring training lineup, we might get a call."

Introduction: Tissue Lifter
Ever feel annoying in the situation like this? When your tissue stock in the box is very low, the next tissue will not come up and your fingers just can't reach it inside the box. Well, let's make a simple tweak. I called it "Tissue Lifter".
Step 1: Measurement
First, measure your tissue box, the length, the width, and the height. My little box is 10 cm x 10 cm x 8 cm.
Now find a hard cardboard. You need two pieces of hard cardboard at the size of the length and width of your tissue box. Well, slightly smaller so that they fit in the box. Here I use my Xiaomi Mi Band box. I think it is a very thin plywood wrapped with paper. It is a good box indeed, but somehow I think I will no longer need it laying on my desk.
Step 2: Light Tension Springs
Well, this part is really hard to find when you need it, but you can try your local hardware stores. I get this from dismantling my X-Mini speakers at earlier time. The height is just perfect, 8 cm just like my tissue box. You can use a slightly lower spring, one or two centimeters lower than the box's height will do good in this project. Remember not to use high tension springs.
I use two springs for my mini tissue box. If you have a bigger box, then you might need three or four springs to balance the top cardboard, where the tissues sit.
Step 3: Hot Glue
I stick the springs diagonally at the corners with hot glue. Placed your springs so that the top cardboard is well balanced either with load or not. Wait for few minutes to get the glue dry, then flipped it and stick to the other cardboard.
Step 4: Well Done!
This is the tissue lifter. Just put it into the tissue box and put the tissues on it. As I said before, use light tension springs, so when the tissue stock is full the box is still well closed. The springs are pressed to almost flat.
Step 5: No More Tissue Jam
Now we have no worries for low stock in tissue box. But you still need to prepare buying the refill pack in the market ;)

That's a really useful solution. Nice job.
Thank you ^^
Nice! I honestly had a similar idea for this exact problem. Great solution.
Thank you ^^
If u wrap all tissues together then it will automatically come up because if friction I am a srk fan
They are all wrapped with plastic container from new, and they are connected with the previous and next sheet by half in zig zag fold. But once the stock is low, the next sheet will fall down before it reach the top hole. That is the problem that need this hack :D
Is that mi 3 box y should respect your phone box
it is a Mi smart wrist band. The band is always on my wrist and the charger is in my bag. There is no way I sell this $10 band along with its box :D

As online streaming services become increasingly popular, first-run corporate movie-theater chains are seeing a drastic drop in attendance.
Movie theater tickets sold in the US will hit a 22-year low for 2017 and, as Netflix, Amazon and other video streaming platforms drop prices and make inroads into American homes, entertainment options have skyrocketed.
"You have more content on more platforms available more than any other time in our history, said Paul Dergarabedian, a media analyst, cited by Foxla.com.
"While the movie theater experience remains singular and essential, it's not the only game in town," he added.
Those familiar with the boom and bust cycles of the corporate film industry know that sophisticated online entertainment consumers now simply check sites like Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic to see whether they should leave their homes to spend a significant amount of money — $12 for popcorn? $10 for soda?— only to be bombarded by fifteen minutes of volume-heavy commercials prior to another ten minutes of previews before they can then watch the show they initially paid to see.
Nonetheless, independent locally-owned movie houses showing cult or vintage films in US cities have seen a steady stream of customers, while the first-run film business scrambles to adapt in an environment that makes it easy for families — particularly families with children — to enjoy an enormous amount of entertainment options without leaving the house.

Gina Miller claims she will TAKE BACK CONTROL of Brexit with new 'end the chaos' campaign
ANTI-BREXIT campaigner Gina Miller has claimed she is providing a "public service" and called for British people to "take back control" of irresponsible politics with her national campaign to "end the chaos" of Brexit.
Gina Miller has claimed the British people should "take back control" of irresponsible politics with her new campaign to "end the chaos" of Brexit.
The anti-Brexit campaigner, who won a High Court case against the Government over the involvement of Parliament in Brexit, said it was "morally right" for people to have another say on the EU.
She said: "There is no place for another political party in politics.
"When I say a movement, I think there is a right for people to get together and to use their voice and to take back control, if you like, of the irresponsibility that's happening in our politics at the moment."
Mrs Miller also claimed that she is launching a "public service" with her new campaign and said that it was "morally right" that people should have a say with either another Brexit vote or a general election.
Speaking on Sky News, she said: "I have spent the summer going around the country talking to ordinary people. What I have got and they're telling me is a real sense of sadness and anxiety.
"What they are looking for is clarity, some sort of honesty and straight talking about what the future holds for them, what are the options on the table. What does Brexit mean? What is the EU?
"What I am launching today is a public service that will fill the gap of people looking for the knowledge so they can make an informed choice when the time comes to do so."
She added: "It is not for me to decide. There could be another election, there could be another vote.
"What I am saying is that I think it is morally right and the mechanisms should be there for people to have a say to let people decide on their future.
"But it is not for me to say how that is going to happen. That will be within the gift of MPs because we are a representative democracy."
The businesswoman launched a national campaign to "end the chaos" of Brexit by publishing "unspun facts" so people can decide for themselves what they want to happen next.
Brexit news: Gina Miller has launched a national campaign to "end the chaos" of Brexit
I think there is a right for people to get together and to use their voice and to take back control
Announcing the campaign in Dover on Friday, Ms Miller claimed "political infighting" and other "bitter" tensions rising from the debate had "mired" the country.
The 53-year-old said in a speech: "Today there are just 196 days to go until our scheduled departure from the European Union.
"The end of 46 years of shared history, experience and endeavour with our European partners and allies.
"Every day, the hour glass runs emptier, the clock ticks more loudly.
"But where is that settled plan that we were once promised would be so easy? What little confidence there might once have been is now, sadly, in very short supply.
"There is a panic in the air - and time is fast running out.
"Many Britons, irrespective of whether they voted Leave or Remain on 23 June 2016, are beginning to wonder how this journey will end.
"The reality is that no-one truly understands what Brexit means for Britain."
She asked: "Did Dover residents who voted Leave realise the outcome of that decision could potentially leave them marooned in their homes for up to three months following our departure from the EU on March 29 next year? Of course, they didn't.
Prime Minister Theresa May has ruled out Britain having another vote on leaving the European Union.
Labour Party's shadow Brexit secretary Keir Starmer and shadow chancellor John McDonnell have both said that all options are "on the table" if the Government's Brexit deal is rejected when it returns to the House of Commons.

Company History
Our Company's History
In the twenties of the last century the Viennese pharmacist Friedrich Richter succeeded in cultivating dried selected yeasts and preserving them. As excipient he used rosehip skins, pips and other specially dried plants which he seeded with selected yeasts. Different yeast strains of yeast are used in seeding of various fruit and berry wines as well as for the mash for distilling liquors, in order to achieve a neutral and safe fermentation.
For the first time ever it was possible to make dry yeasts for commercially available, as up to then "small time wine growers" needed to get their starter must from renowned wine growers directly. One disadvantage was that only during the grape harvest this must with sufficent "good" yeasts was available and that it was difficult to transport this fermenting must. And anyway the own wine must had to be already pressed so it could be seeded. As a consequence a prosperous trade with these special dry selected yeasts immediately developed as they could be used throughout the year. It also pushed the making of wine on small scales as contrary to earlier times not only chance decided on the quality of the seeded must (wine faults etc., refer to literature) any longer. The season of the berry harvest starts in June (strawberries) and continues through summer into autumn (red and black currants, raspberries, blackberries, elderberries, apples, pears, plumes, sorb tree berries, grapes, rosehips and so on)
The cornerstone for our business was laid. The pharmacist passed on his shop and production to his daugther Elfriede Richter who carried on herself at the location in Vienna's. District No. 1 till the mid nineteen-sixties. Apart from wine yeasts the shop offered a practical collection of recipes and numerous practical accessories (fermenting glass tubes, syphoning tubes, cleansing and corking equipment etc.). An interesting aspect was the brochure "Vierkaburg" which was published four times a year (in the nineteen-thirties and fourties because of demand every month) and supplied the readers with tips and tricks and new recipes (e.g. for dried fruits) to the topic of wine making at home. The name Vierkaburg is a German brand by the German pharmacist Friedrich Sauer who invented independently a similar process for producing dry yeasts. These products are still available on the market although in improved quality and in simplified application procedures) We have chosen to be supplied only by the best professional producers (best in quality and reputation) of wine and beer yeasts.
Mid-60-ies Mrs. Gertrud Hoschek took over the shop and moved it to 10th Vienna district's Buchengasse 93. There she established the small shop and the mail order business of Richter and Vierka yeasts, fermentation aids, barrel equipment, seasonings, spices and some other accessory. The liqueur and spirit seasonings, well known by then, have been our well kept secret since 1920.
In January 1987 Mrs. Roswitha Knopf took over the company and moved to the 14th Vienna district into the Gurkgasse 16, where the company still is located. The company was established officially as "Kellereibedarf Knopf Gmbh (Ltd.).
On January 1st, 2004, Ing. Michael Holzeis took over the company, already a bigger company than ever before, but still a company run along the best family traditions. The product range was widened and has developed into a true source for everything the DIY-brewers, distillers, winemakers need. Since then the fields of "Smoking of Fish and Meat, Cheese Making, Bread & Dough and Fungiculture" have been added because of the new owner's personal experiences.
In 2004 the brand holzeis was born to present the increasing number of fields and products under a uniform brand that also reflects the personal experience and efforts of the owner. Still the familiarity of the older name of "Kellereibedarf Knopf GmbH" for the big number of national and international customers has helped the decision to also integrate the well known name into the new holzeis-era.

Over the last few years we have grown into a still small, but increasingly renowned mail order house. More than 60% of the annual turnover are earned in an ever growing worldwide trade that rests on the main regions Austria, Germany and Switzerland. Yet we still invest into our small retail shop and with undeterred effort into our employees as they set us ahead of the big trading companies. Courses, seminars and workshops for our employees spread the know-how, deepen the insight and create a problem solving capacity that is our service to our customers – quality advice for the often unique situations our customers are faced with. Still we like to think of us as the small shop near Your home!
Even when You are one of our esteemed, but far away mail-order customers we would like to meet You here in our small shop – why not travel to Vienna: for a holiday and for a look around in our shop and philosophy!
Let youself get infected by the joy of doing it Yourself!
Bring Your home-made products, even bring Your knives – maybe our boss will give them a razor blade sharpening; try us out!

Summer Boat Tour: Multiple Lines of Defense
What better way to spend a morning than on a boat, skirting storms and learning about the wetlands and levee system that protect the Greater New Orleans area? Last week, National Wildlife Federation, partnering with the City of New Orleans on a summer field trip series, led four boats filled with community leaders on a tour of the wetlands along the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet (MRGO) and the $1.1billion Inner Harbor Navigation Canal Surge Barrier. Our enthusiastic participants, including government officials, neighborhood leaders, landowners and academia, saw part of our city's "Multiple Lines of Defense" system up close and personal with the guidance of Dr. John Lopez of Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation. First-hand learning experiences, like this boat tour, help us build awareness and empower stakeholders to be even stronger advocates for the coast and the resilience of our city.
If you'd like to learn more about coastal restoration and how to become an advocate, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Amanda Moore is the Deputy Director for the National Wildlife Federation's Mississippi River Delta Restoration Program. Amanda works with government officials, community leaders, and coastal science experts to raise awareness and address coastal land loss in Louisiana.

Studio: Warner/Rhino
Running Time: 100 Minutes
Retail Price: $19.99
Features: Comedy Central Trailer, Trey Parker and Matt
Stone Intros
Specs: 1:33:1 Standard, English Dolby Digial Surround
No one could account what kind of phenom "South Park"
would be when it debuted during August 1997. I must admit, I
was one of the watchers who tuned into the first broadcast,
and after it ended, I was hooked to the show. I thought it
was hilarious, really original too. I taped the episode, and
from episodes then and on, and have seen them tons and tons
of times. Of course, the show spawned a hit movie and a ton
of catchphrases "They killed Kenny!", "Respect my
authori-tah!" etc.) I consider myself a fan from the start,
and was happy that Warner and Rhino were releasing episodes
every year on DVD. Now I could finally replace my worn out
This first volume of South Park features the first four
episodes. The first, the pilot which got me into the show
and probably still my favorite, is "Cartman Gets An Anal
Probe". We meet the kids of South Park, Kyle, Stan, Kenny
and Cartman. Cartman gets an anal probe from aliens who
mutilate cows, and even though he thinks it is a dream,
Kyle's little brother, Ike, gets kidnapped from them and
it's about to them, with the help of their school Chef named
Chef and Stan's crush, Wendy Testiburger, to save Ike.
The second episode, "Volcano", follows the boys as they
go on a camping trip with Stan's uncle Jimbo and his war
buddy Ned. There, Ned favors Kenny more to Stan, and Cartman
tries to scare everyone else by dressing up as the woodland
creature "Scuzzlebutt". But it turns out the real
Scuzzlebutt will help save the day when a volcano near where
they are camping is about to eruptt and could kill them all.
"Weight Gain 4000" has Cartman bulking up for a TV
appearence after he forges an essay (he basically steals
"Walden" and puts his name on it) and Kathie Lee Gifford
comes to South Park. However, the children's teacher, Mr.
Garrison, has a score to settle with Kathie Lee.
Finally, the last episode on the disc is the Emmy®
nominated "Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride", which features
George Clooney as the voice of Stan's gay dog, Sparky. Stan
is a bit upset over his dog being gay, and loses interest in
playing for the big football game which everyone is counting
on him for. However, Big Gay Al comes to the rescue and
shows Stan all about homosexuality through history.
These episodes have gone on to become South Park
classics, and this disc's offering is sure to please all
fans of the show.
This volume of South Park is presented in its original
aspect ration for television, which was 1.33:1. First and
foremost, there is no annoying Comedy Central logo at the
bottom of the screen. As for everything else, the transfer
is excellent. Colors are really bright, and detail is also
very good. You can really see right into the construction
The sound is fine. You may recall that some of the older
discs had a "popping noise". Anyhow, the box claims it is
Dolby Digital Surround Setreo. It sounded like perfect
stereo to me, no surrounds. There's not much to say about
this disc, except the fact the dialogue is clear and easy to
hear. My only complaint is that they still kept the beeps
in, so whenever someone curses, you don't get to hear it.
Nothing impressive at all. Some commentaries from Trey
and Matt would have been nice, but instead we get stuck with
exclusive introductions, which when you come down to it,
most are good for a chuckle and that's it. These intros were
on the VHS releases too. Also, there's a long preview
advertising Comedy Central shows.
While this is a disc that should be in any South Park
fans collection, I find it a bit disappointing with the lack
of features and the average sound (plus the bleeps!). Still,
the video is nice and these are good episodes. The price is
also right. If you're a fan of the show, make no mistake and
pick this disc up.
(4/5 (average of all four
episodes), NOT included in final score)
NOT an average)

The Illinois House approved legislation Friday prohibiting state workers from going on strike or being locked out of their jobs if negotiations on a new labor agreement stall.
The House voted 67-25 to approve the measure, which now goes to the Senate for approval.
Under the bill, either side in labor talks could declare an impasse, starting a process in which the contract would be sent to binding arbitration.
Sponsoring Rep. Mike Smiddy, D-Hillsdale, said he is trying to ensure that state government doesn't get shut down.
"I'm trying to ensure the state keeps running until such time as they have an agreement in place," Smiddy said.
He then read an old quote from Gov. Bruce Rauner in which he said he might have to shut down government to get concessions from unionized workers.
The state and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, which represents about 38,000 state workers, have been negotiating for months on a new contract that would take effect July 1. The administration said it is negotiating in good faith to secure a fair contract. AFSCME said the administration is demanding significant concessions from workers and will not soften those demands.
Republicans largely opposed the bill. Several complained that the bill takes contract talks away from negotiators and hands it over to an arbitrator who is not responsible to voters.
Rep. Peter Breen, R-Lombard, said that if the bill is vetoed by Rauner, the current contract will be long expired before lawmakers could vote to override the veto.
"This is not a good-faith effort at preventing labor strife. This is a bald-faced power grab," he said.
Rep. Sue Scherer, D-Decatur, was the only Springfield-area representative to vote for the bill. Republican Reps. Avery Bourne of Pawnee, C.D. Davidsmeyer of Jacksonville and Raymond Poe of Springfield did not vote on the bill.
Rep. Tim Butler, R-Springfield, voted against the bill. He said there is still a month left before the current contract expires and that negotiations will continue through that time. He also said unions didn't seek this kind of legislation when negotiations dragged out well past the contract expiration when former Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn was in office.
"This is just another political stunt as we've seen over the past couple of weeks with Speaker (Michael) Madigan and his folks to take a dig at the governor," Butler said.
