Carlos Augusto Selva Santana Ph.D. (born July 20, 1947) is a Mexican American rock guitarist. Santana became famous in the late 1960s and early 1970s with his band, Santana, which pioneered rock, salsa and jazz fusion. The band's sound featured his melodic, blues-based guitar lines set against Latin and African rhythms featuring percussion instruments such as timbales and congas not generally heard in rock music. Santana continued to work in these forms over the following decades. He experienced a resurgence of popularity and critical acclaim in the late 1990s. Rolling Stone named Santana number 15 on their list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time in 2003. He has won 10 Grammy Awards and 3 Latin Grammy Awards.
Early life
Santana was born in Autlán de Navarro, Jalisco, Mexico. His father was a mariachi violinist, and Carlos learned to play the violin at age five and the guitar at age eight. His younger brother, Jorge Santana, would also become a professional guitarist. Young Carlos was heavily influenced by Ritchie Valens at a time when there were very few Latinos in American rock and pop music. The family moved from Autlán de Navarro to Tijuana, the city on Mexico's border with California, and then San Francisco. Carlos stayed in Tijuana but joined his family in San Francisco later and graduated from James Lick Middle School and Mission High School there. He graduated from Mission High in 1965. Javier Bátiz, a famous guitarist from Tijuana, said to have been Carlos's guitar teacher who taught him to play a different style of guitar soloing.Javier Batiz After learning Batiz's techniques, Santana would make them his own as well.
In San Francisco, he got the chance to see his idols, most notably B.B. King, perform live. He was also introduced to a variety of new musical influences, including jazz and folk music, and witnessed the growing hippie movement centered in San Francisco in the 1960s. After several years spent working as a dishwasher in a diner and busking for spare change, Santana decided to become a full-time musician. In 1966, he gained prominence by a series of accidental events all happening on the same day. Santana was a frequent spectator at Bill Graham's Fillmore West. During a Sunday matinee show, Paul Butterfield was slated to perform there but was unable to do so as a result of being intoxicated. Bill Graham assembled an impromptu band of musicians he knew primarily through his connections with the Grateful Dead, Butterfield's own band and Jefferson Airplane, but he had not yet picked all of the guitarists at the time. Santana's manager, Stan Marcum, immediately suggested to Graham that Santana join the impromptu band and Graham assented. During the jam session, Santana's guitar playing and solo gained the notice of both the audience and Graham.Shapiro, Marc, "Carlos Santana: Back on Top", pages 57-58, St. Martin's Press, ISBN 0-312-26904-8, 2000. During the same year, Santana formed the Santana Blues Band, with fellow street musicians, David Brown and Gregg Rolie (bassist and keyboard player, respectively).
With their highly original blend of Latin-infused rock, jazz, blues, salsa, and African rhythms, the band (which quickly became known simply as Santana) gained an immediate following on the San Francisco strip club. The band's early success, capped off by a memorable performance at Woodstock in 1969, led to a recording contract with Columbia Records, then run by Clive Davis.
Santana was signed by CBS Records and went into the studio to record their first album. They were not satisfied with the release and decided changes needed to be made. This resulted in the dismissal of Bob Livingston. Santana replaced him with Mike Shrieve, who had a strong background in both jazz and rock. Marcus Malone was forced to quit the band due to personal problems, and the band re-enlisted Michael Carabello. Carabello brought with him percussionist Jose Chepito Areas, who was already well-known in his country, Nicaragua, and, with his skills and professional experience, was a major contributor to the band.
Bill Graham, who had been a fan of the band from the start, convinced the promoters of the Woodstock Music and Art Festival to let them appear before their first album was even released. They were one of the surprises of the festival; their set was legendary and, later, the exposure of their eleven-minute instrumental "Soul Sacrifice" in the Woodstock film and soundtrack albums vastly increased Santana's popularity. Graham also gave the band some key advice to record the Willie Bobo song "Evil Ways", as he felt it would get them radio airplay. Their first album, simply titled Santana, became a huge hit, reaching number four on the U.S. album charts, and the catchy single "Evil Ways" reached number nine on the Billboard Hot 100.
In 1970, the group reached its early commercial peak with their second album, Abraxas, which reached number one on the album charts and went on to sell over four million copies. Instrumental in the production of the album was pianist Alberto Gianquinto, who advised the group to stay away from lengthy percussion jams and concentrate on tighter song structures. The innovative Santana musical blend made a number-four hit out of the English band Fleetwood Mac's "Black Magic Woman" and a number-thirteen hit out of salsa legend Tito Puente's "Oye Como Va".
However, Woodstock and the band's sudden success put pressure on the group, highlighting the different musical directions in which Rolie and Santana were starting to go. Rolie, along with some of the other band members, wanted to emphasize a basic hard rock sound which had established the band in the first place. Santana on the other hand was growing musically beyond his love of blues and rock and wanted more jazzy, ethereal elements in the music, which were influenced by his fascination with Miles Davis and John Coltrane, as well as his growing interest in spirituality and meditation. To further complicate matters, Chepito Areas was stricken with a near-fatal brain hemorrhage, and Santana wanted the band to continue performing by finding a temporary replacement (first Willie Bobo, then Coke Escovedo), while others in the band, especially Michael Carabello, felt it was wrong to perform publicly without Areas. Cliques formed, and the band started to disintegrate.
Teenage San Francisco Bay Area guitar prodigy Neal Schon was asked to join the band in 1971, in time to complete the third album, Santana III. The band now boasted a powerful dual-lead-guitar act that gave the album a tougher sound. The sound of the band was also helped by the return of a recuperated Chepito Areas and the assistance of Coke Escovedo in the percussion section. Enhancing the band's sound further was the support of popular Bay Area group Tower of Power's horn section, Luis Gasca of Malo, and a number of friends who helped with percussion and vocals, injecting more energy to the proceedings. Santana III was another success, reaching number one on the album charts, selling two million copies, and yielding the hits "Everybody's Everything" and "No One to Depend On".
But tension in the band continued. Along with musical differences, drug use became a problem, and Santana was deeply worried it was affecting the band's performance. Coke Escovedo encouraged Santana to take more control of the band's musical direction, much to the dismay of some of the others who thought that the band and its sound was a collective effort. Also, financial irregularities were exposed while under the management of Stan Marcum, whom Bill Graham criticized as being incompetent. Growing resentments between Santana and Michael Carabello over lifestyle issues resulted in his departure on bad terms. James Mingo Lewis was hired at the last minute as a replacement at a concert in New York City. David Brown later left due to substance abuse problems. A South American tour was cut short in Lima, Peru, due to student protests against U.S. governmental policies and unruly fans. The madness of the tour convinced Santana that changes needed to be made in the band and in his life.
In January 1972, Santana, Neal Schon and Coke Escovedo joined former Band of Gypsys drummer Buddy Miles for a concert at Hawaii's Diamond Head Crater, which was recorded for a live album. The performance was erratic and uneven, but the album managed to achieve gold-record status on the weight of Santana's popularity.

In early 1972, Santana and the remaining members of the band started working on their fourth album, Caravanserai. During the studio sessions, Santana and Michael Shrieve brought in other musicians: percussionists James Mingo Lewis and Latin-Jazz veteran, Armando Peraza replacing Michael Carabello, and bassists Tom Rutley and Doug Rauch replacing David Brown. Also assisting on keyboards were Wendy Haas and Tom Coster. With the unsettling influx of new players in the studio, Gregg Rolie and Neal Schon decided that it was time to leave after the completion of the album, even though both made spectacular contributions to the session. Rolie left and went home to Seattle, opening a restaurant with his father, and later became a founding member of Journey (which Schon would later join as well).
When Caravanserai did emerge in 1972, it marked a strong change in musical direction towards jazz fusion. The album received critical praise, but CBS executive Clive Davis warned Santana and the band that it would sabotage the band's position as a "Top 40" act. Nevertheless, over the years, the album would achieve platinum status. The difficulties Santana and the band went through during this period were chronicled in Ben Fong-Torres' Rolling Stone cover story "The Resurrection of Carlos Santana".
Around this time, Santana met Deborah King, whom he later married in 1973. She is the daughter of the late blues singer and guitarist Saunders King. They have three children: Salvador, Stella and Angelica. Together with wife Deborah, Santana founded a not-for-profit organization, the Milagro Foundation, which provides financial aid for educational, medical, and other needs.
Spiritual journey
In 1972, Santana became a huge fan of the pioneering fusion band The Mahavishnu Orchestra and its guitarist John McLaughlin. Aware of Santana's interest in meditation, McLaughlin introduced Santana and Deborah to his guru, Sri Chinmoy. Chinmoy accepted them as disciples in 1973. Santana was given the name "Devadip" – meaning "The lamp, light and eye of God." Santana and McLaughlin recorded an album together, Love, Devotion, Surrender with members of Santana and the Mahavishnu Orchestra, along with percussionist Don Alias and organist Larry Young, who both had made appearances on Miles Davis' classic Bitches Brew in 1969.
In 1973, Santana, having obtained legal rights to the band's name, formed a new version of Santana, with Armando Peraza and Chepito Areas on percussion, Doug Rauch on bass, Michael Shrieve on drums, and Tom Coster and Richard Kermode on keyboards. Santana was later able to recruit jazz vocalist Leon Thomas for a tour of Japan, which was recorded for the live, sprawling, high-energy fusion album Lotus. CBS records would not allow its release unless the material was condensed. Santana did not agree to those terms, and the album was available in the U.S. only as an expensive, imported, three-record set. The group later went into the studio and recorded Welcome, which further reflected Santana's interests in jazz fusion and his commitment to the spiritual life of Sri Chinmoy.
Shifting styles in the 1970s
A collaboration with John Coltrane's widow, Alice Coltrane, Illuminations, followed. The album delved into avant-garde esoteric free jazz, Eastern Indian and classical influences with other ex-Miles Davis sidemen Jack DeJohnette and Dave Holland. Soon after, Santana replaced his band members again. This time Kermode, Thomas and Rauch departed from the group and were replaced by vocalist Leon Patillo (later a successful Contemporary Christian artist) and returning bassist David Brown. He also recruited soprano saxophonist, Jules Broussard to the lineup. The band recorded one studio album Borboletta, which was released in 1974. Drummer Leon "Ndugu" Chancler later joined the band as a replacement for Michael Shrieve, who left to pursue a solo career.

By this time, the Bill Graham's management company had assumed the affairs of the group. Graham was critical of Santana's direction into jazz and felt he needed to concentrate on getting Santana back into the charts with the edgy, street-wise ethnic sound that had made them famous. Santana himself was seeing that the group's direction was alienating many fans. Although the albums and performances were given good reviews by critics in jazz and jazz fusion circles, sales had plummeted.
Santana along with Tom Coster, producer David Rubinson, and Chandler formed yet another version of Santana, adding vocalist Greg Walker. The 1976 album Amigos, which featured the songs "Dance, Sister, Dance" and "Let It Shine", had a strong funk and Latin sound. The album also received considerable airplay on FM album-oriented rock stations with the instrumental "Europa (Earth's Cry Heaven's Smile)" and re-introduced Santana back into the charts. Rolling Stone Magazine ran a second cover story on Santana entitled "Santana Comes Home".
The albums conceived through the late 1970s followed the same formula, although with several lineup changes. Among the personnel who came and left the band was percussionist Raul Rekow, who joined in early 1977 and remains to this day. Most-notable of the band's commercial efforts of this era was a version of the 1960s Zombies hit, "She's Not There", on the 1977 album Moonflower.
The relative success of the band's albums in this era allowed Santana to pursue a solo career funded by CBS. First, Oneness, Silver Dreams, Golden Reality in 1979 and The Swing of Delight in 1980, which featured some of his musical heroes: Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Ron Carter and Tony Williams from Miles Davis' legendary 1960s quintet.
The pressures and temptations of being a high-profile rock musician and requisites of the spiritual lifestyle which guru Sri Chinmoy and his followers demanded, were great sources of conflict to Santana's lifestyle and marriage. He was becoming increasingly disillusioned with what he thought was Chinmoy's unreasonable rules imposed on his life, in particular, his refusal to allow Santana and Deborah to start a family. He felt too that his fame was being used to increase the guru's visibility. Santana and Deborah eventually ended their relationship with Chinmoy in 1982.
The 1980s

More radio-pleasing singles followed from Santana and the band. "Winning" in 1981 and "Hold On" (a remake of Canadian artist Ian Thomas' song) in 1982 both reached the top twenty. After his break with Sri Chinmoy, Santana went into the studio to record another solo album with Keith Olson and legendary R&B producer Jerry Wexler. The 1983 album revisited Santana's early musical experiences in Tijuana with Bo Diddley's "Who Do You Love" and the title cut, Chuck Berry's "Havana Moon". The album's guests included Booker T. Jones, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Willie Nelson and even Santana's father's mariachi orchestra. Santana again paid tribute to his early rock roots by doing the film score to La Bamba, which was based on the tragically short life of rock and roll legend Ritchie Valens and starred Lou Diamond Philips.
Although the band had concentrated on trying to produce albums with commercial appeal during the 1980s, changing tastes in popular culture began to reflect in the band's sagging record sales of their latest effort Beyond Appearances. In 1985, Bill Graham had to once again pull strings for Santana to convince principal Live Aid concert organizer Bob Geldof to allow the band to appear at the festival. The group's high-energy performance proved why they were still a top concert draw the world over despite their poor performance on the charts. Santana retained a great deal of respect in both jazz and rock circles, with Prince and guitarist Kirk Hammett of Metallica citing him as an influence.
The band Santana returned in 1986 with a new album Freedom. Buddy Milles, who was trying to revive his music career after spending much of the late 1970s and early 1980s incarcerated for drug charges, returned for lead vocals. His onstage presence provided a dose of charisma to the show; but, once again, the sales of the album fell
Growing weary of trying to appease record company executives with formulaic hit records, Santana took great pleasure in jamming and making guest appearances with notables such as the jazz fusion group Weather Report, jazz pianist McCoy Tyner, Blues legend John Lee Hooker, Frank Franklin, Living Colour guitarist Vernon Reid, and West African singer Salif Keita. He and Mickey Hart of the Grateful Dead later recorded and performed with Nigerian drummer Babatunde Olatunji, who conceived one of Santana's famous 1960s drum jams, "Jingo". In 1988, Santana organized a reunion with past members from the Santana band for a series of concert dates. CBS records released a 20-year retrospective of the band's accomplishments with Viva Santana.
That same year Santana formed an all-instrumental group featuring jazz legend Wayne Shorter on tenor and soprano sax. The group also included Patrice Rushen on keyboards, Alphonso Johnson on bass, Armando Peraza and Chepito Areas on percussion, and Leon "Ndugu" Chancler on drums. They toured briefly and received much acclaim from the music press, who compared the effort with the era of Caravanserai. Santana released another solo record, Blues for Salvador, which won a Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance.
In 1990, Santana left Columbia Records after twenty-two years and signed with Polygram. The following year, he made a guest appearance on Ottmar Liebert's album Solo Para Ti, on the songs "Reaching out 2 U" and on a cover of his own song, "Samba Pa Ti". In 1992, Santana hired jam band Phish as his opening act.
Return to commercial success
Carlos Santana crop right.jpgrightthumb200pxSantana performing in 2000
Santana's record sales in the 1990s were very low. Toward the end of the decade, he was without a contract. However, Arista Records' Clive Davis, who had worked with Santana at Columbia Records, signed him and encouraged him to record a star-studded album with mostly younger artists. The result was 1999's Supernatural, which included collaborations with Everlast, Rob Thomas of Matchbox Twenty, Eric Clapton, Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, Cee-Lo, Maná, Dave Matthews, K. C. Porter, J. B. Eckl, and others.
However, the lead single was what grabbed the attention of both fans and the music industry. "Smooth", a dynamic cha-cha stop-start number co-written and sung by Rob Thomas of Matchbox Twenty, was laced throughout with Santana's guitar fills and runs. The track's energy was immediately apparent on radio, and it was played on a wide variety of station formats. "Smooth" spent twelve weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming in the process the last #1 single of the 1990s. The music video, set on a hot barrio street, was also very popular. Supernatural reached number one on the US album charts and the follow-up single, "Maria Maria", featuring the R&B duo The Product G&B, also hit number one, spending ten weeks there in the spring of 2000. Supernatural eventually sold over 15 million copies in the United States, making it Santana's biggest sales success by far.
Carlos Santana, alongside the classic Santana lineup of their first two albums, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998. He performed "Black Magic Woman" with the writer of the song, Fleetwood Mac's founder Peter Green. Green was inducted the same night.
In 2000 Supernatural won nine Grammy Awards (eight for Santana personally), including Album of the Year, Record of the Year for "Smooth", and Song of the Year for Thomas and Itaal Shur. Santana's acceptance speeches described his feelings about music's place in one's spiritual existence. Later that year at the Latin Grammy Awards he won three awards including Record of the Year. In 2001, Santana's guitar skills were featured in Michael Jackson's song "Whatever Happens", from the album Invincible.
In 2002, Santana released Shaman, revisiting the Supernatural format of guest artists including P.O.D. and Seal. Although the album was not the runaway success its predecessor had been, it produced two radio-friendly hits. "The Game of Love" featuring Michelle Branch, rose to number five on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent many weeks at the top of the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart, and "Why Don't You & I" written by and featuring Chad Kroeger from the group Nickelback (the original and a remix with Alex Band from the group The Calling were combined towards chart performance) which reached number eight on the Billboard Hot 100. "The Game of Love" went on to win the Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals.
In early August 2003, Santana was named fifteenth on Rolling Stone magazine's "List of the .
On April 21th, 2005, Santana was honored as a BMI Icon at the 12th annual BMI Latin Awards. Santana was the first songwriter designated a BMI Icon at the company's Latin Awards. The honor is given to a creator who has been "a unique and indelible influence on generations of music makers."
Carlos_Santana_2005.jpgthumbleft180pxCarlos Santana during a concert in 2005
In 2005, Herbie Hancock approached Santana to collaborate on an album again using the Supernatural formula. Possibilities was released on August 30, 2005, featuring Carlos Santana and Angélique Kidjo on "Safiatou". Also, in 2005, fellow Latin star Shakira invited Santana to play the soft rock guitar ballad "Illegal" on her second English-language studio album Oral Fixation Vol. 2.
Santana's 2005 album All That I Am consists primarily of collaborations with other artists; the first single, the peppy "I'm Feeling You", was again with Michelle Branch and The Wreckers. Other musicians joining the mix this time included Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, Kirk Hammett from Metallica, hip-hop/reggae star Sean Paul and R&B singer Joss Stone. In April and May 2006, Santana toured Europe, where he promoted his son Salvador Santana's band as his opening act.
In 2007, Santana appeared, along with Sheila E. and José Feliciano, on Gloria Estefan's album 90 Millas, on the single "No Llores". He also teamed again with Chad Kroeger for the hit single "Into the Night".
In 2008, Santana started working with his long-time friend, Marcelo Vieira, on his solo album Marcelo Vieira's Acoustic Sounds, which is due to be released at the end of the year. It features tracks such as "For Flavia" and "Across the Grave", the latter featuring heavy melodic riffs by Santana.
Carlos Santana performed at the 2009 American Idol Finale with the top 13 finalists, which starred many acts such as KISS, Queen and Rod Stewart. On July 8, 2009, Carlos Santana appeared at the Athens Olympic Stadium in Athens with his 10-member all-star band as part of his "Supernatural Santana – A Trip through the Hits" European tour. On July 10, 2009, he also appeared at Philip II Stadium in Skopje. With 2.5 hours concert and 20 000 people, Santana appeared for the first time in that region. "Supernatural Santana – A Trip through the Hits" is currently playing at The Hard Rock hotel in Las Vegas, where it will play through 2011.
Santana is featured as a playable character in the music video game Guitar Hero 5. A live recording of his song "No One To Depend On" is included in game, which was released on September 1, 2009.
Carlos recently opened a chain of upscale Mexican restaurants called "Maria Maria". It is a combined effort with Chef Roberto Santibañez. They are located in Tempe, Arizona, Mill Valley (now closed), Walnut Creek and Danville, California, Austin, Texas, and Boca Raton, Florida.
Around the age of 8, Santana "fell under the influence" of blues performers like B.B. King and John Lee Hooker. He also credits Jimi Hendrix, Mike Bloomfield and Peter Green as important influences; he considered Bloomfield a direct mentor, writing of a key meeting with Bloomfield in San Francisco in the foreword he wrote to a biography of Bloomfield, Michael Bloomfield: If You Love These Blues-An Oral History in 2000.
Guitars and effects
Carlos-Santana in Hamburg 1.jpgthumb220pxrightSantana performing in Hamburg, 1984
Santana played a red Gibson SG Special with P-90 pickups at the Woodstock festival. From 1976 until 1982, his main guitar was a Yamaha SG 175B and sometimes a white Gibson SG Custom with 3 open coil pick-ups. In 1982 he started to use a custom made PRS guitar, which became his main instrument around 1988.
Santana currently uses a Santana II model guitar using PRS Santana III pickups with nickel covers and a tremolo, with .009-.042 gauge D'Addario strings.
Santana's guitar necks and fretboards are constructed out of a single solid piece of Brazilian Rosewood; this helps create the smooth, singing, glass-like tone that he is famous for.
Carlos Santana also uses a classical guitar, the Alvarez Yairi CY127CE with Alvarez tension nylon strings.
Santana does not use many effects pedals. His PRS guitar is connected to a Mu-Tron wah wah pedal (or, more recently, a ) and a T-Rex Replica delay pedal,His rig can be seen in a magazine article cited at by Darrin Fox, Guitar Player Magazine, June edition 2005. then through a customized Jim Dunlop amp switcher which in turn is connected to the different amps or cabinets.
Previous setups include an Ibanez Tube Screamer. right after the guitar.
In the song "Stand Up" from the album Marathon, Santana uses a Heil talk box in the guitar solo.
Carlos Santana's distinctive lead guitar tone is produced by PRS Santana signature guitars plugged into a multi-amp setup. The rig consists of a Mesa Boogie Mark I, Dumble Overdrive Reverb and more recently a Bludotone amplifier. Carlos often blends the sounds from each amp in various combinations to achieve a more complex tone.
He also literally put the Boogie in Mesa Boogie: 'Santana exclaimed to Smith, "Shit, man. That little thing really Boogies!" It was this statement that brought the Boogie name to fruition.'
Specifically, Santana combines a Mesa/Boogie Mark I head running through a Boogie cabinet with Altec 417-8H (or recently JBL E120s) speakers, and a Dumble Overdrive Reverb and/or a Dumble Overdrive Special running through a Brown or Marshall 4x12 cabinet with Celestion G12M "Greenback" speakers, depending on the desired sound. Shure KSM-32 microphones are used to pick up the sound, going to the PA. Additionally, a Fender Cyber-Twin Amp is mostly used at home.
Carlos Santana became a naturalized American citizen in 1965.
On October 19, 2007, his wife of 34 years, Deborah, filed for divorce citing "irreconcilable differences".
Carlos Santana became engaged to Cindy Blackman, after proposing to her during a concert of the Universal Tone Tour at Tinley Park, Illinois, Chicago on July 9, 2010. The two were married in December 2010.

In software a queue is a container which is used to add items on one side and remove them on the other in a very efficient manner.
When used by a Journal, a queue is often going to support some kind of sorted order. Some jobs are more important than others and these should be built sooner. In other words, we give those jobs a higher priority and we sort the queue by priority first then using the time at which the job gets inserted.
Note that the C++ std::queue and std::unque containers do not offer anyway to support a priority. Instead you have to use ...
Once in a while someone will ask me which book is best to start learning programming. The fact is that I do not know because I'm already an advanced programmer and it's rather difficult for me to get back to the basics (it feels like a waste of my time, sorry...)
That being said, I wanted to underline some of the best C++ books available today. Especially, in the last ...

In the last few days, we started hearing about a massive bug in the implementation of the VM memory handling.
Intel has been frantically working on fixing host machines kernels in order to prevent one VM from accessing the memory of other VMs that run on the same machine.
Of course, most users are not going to attempt to read someone else memory so in that sense, most of us are relatively safe. But all of those who are not so lucky and have uninvited guests on their systems are running at very high risk. The information available from Intel says the memory is accessible only in Read mode. ...

About a week ago I got a customer who started having their website appear in Google with HTTPS (the secure version of the site.) The pages are served securily, but it uses our website certificate so you get a big bad error saying that everything is broken and if you proceed you'll know what hell is like.
The fact is that this customer never had a secure certificate. In other words, there is no reason for the site to have been referenced with HTTPS unless someone typed a link to their site and inadvertendly entered https://... instead of http://...

When handling a Node, it is possible to check whether the node is currently protected or locked.
A node is said protected when the node was protected by a password using the Protected node module.
Whether the user can view that node is irrevelant in this case. Only the fact that the node requires a password to be viewed is what this condition checks.

This option only applies to links and defines the target attribute of those links, as created with:
Insert Node Parameter: title (6-1.1),
Insert Node Parameter: link (5-1.0), or
Insert Node Parameter: more (6-1.1).
Using the target option by itself resets the Insert Node module to the default behavior (i.e. no target attribute):

The title link will have target="_blank" and the more link will not.

Online video is vastly expanding, with on average 4 billion videos are viewed every single day. If you use YouTube to market your business, you can easily put out content and reach your audience. To get the video to its full potential advertising on other people's videos is a good way to get more views and potential subscribers. Even though 100 hours of video are uploaded every minute on YouTube, it only takes a well-produced video for it to go viral.
Undoubtedly one of the biggest of benefits of using YouTube for business is that you can grow your audience all over the world. Making consistent video content allows you to have new viewers who would never come across your business any other way. YouTube allows you to reach a worldwide audience only if you speak in one language. If you speak native English then you're in luck, 30% of YouTube views come from people who speak English, in addition to this, you can include subtitles for people who speak different languages.
YouTube is becoming one of the biggest money making platforms overall on the internet. Consistently uploading video content gives you the opportunity to earn some money from your videos, this uses Google's AdSense for video. Thousands of channels are making six figures a year and a certain few even pushing seven figures a year. Although don't expect for you to be making thousands overnight, it will happen if you create interesting and creative content.
Using YouTube for business can help you reuse content you have already made without having to spend a lot of time or invest in expensive equipment. Recycling used content is an effective way of content marketing as you can reach an audience that will love your content. For example, using a blog post and turning it into a video or even making it into a podcast. This then allows you to create loads of content from one idea.
If your video has a personal touch it allows you to increase conversions, gain subscribers and helps people gain trust which then increases sales. If a viewer likes your video they will hopefully, share it with a friend or even buy your services/product. Building a form of trust with your customers and new consumers is a lot easy via video, this is due to connecting on a level which you cannot do on a picture or a form of text as it allows the customer to feel like they know you personally.
YouTube is essential to a business if they are low on budget and want a free advertising tool. Reaching billions of views a day, it is the largest video sharing site on the internet and you would be passing up a great opportunity if you were not to use this tool. After reading this blog will you be using YouTube to advertise your business? If so be sure to leave a comment and tell us what you plan to do on your channel.

Protesters in Abuja have called for the release of prisoners of conscience held in various detention centres run by the President Muhammadu Buhari regime.
The prisoners include OmoyeleSowore, Jones Abiri, Dadiyata, Stefen Kegason, Agbo Jalingo, Ibraheem El-Zakzaky, among others.
The placards-carrying protesters stormed the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) to submit a protest letter, urging the commission to live up to its mandate and defend the rights of all prisoners of conscience languishing in detention.
One of the leaders of the group, Sydney Godwin, said, "You have someone in an illegal detention, you don't have a charge against him but all you do is media trial. Charge him to court and bring the offences. If Omoyele Sowore is guilty today he should be jailed but the entire Nigerians understand that he is not. So why keep him? It's against his fundamental human rights."
He said further, "We just see recently that value-added tax (VAT) has been taken from 5 percent to a despicable rate of 7.2. It is an anti-people. I have been told this morning that I will be paying more charges on bank withdrawals and deposits. These are not policies that are meant for Nigerians. We want a state that work for all but not selected few."
Another leader of the group, Emmanuel Ejeh, said, "When injustice becomes law, resistance also stands as a duty. This morning we are here to remind ourselves that our sense of history was fixated on imperialism. It is so painful and disheartening that we are still living under imperialist system."
Responding on behalf of the commission, Director of Corporate Affairs and External Linkages, Lambert Oparah, said the commission would monitor the proceedings of Sowore's case in court to ensure that due process was followed.
He said that commission would look into the complaints raised in the letter of the group in line with its mandate and ensure that justice is done.

Ellie Kemper faked a back injury to hide her pregnancy while filming 'Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt'
By Chloe Bryan
Ellie Kemper announced her pregnancy on The Tonight Show on Wednesday, but her co-workers were definitely already in the know.
The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt star confessed she had a hard time keeping the baby a secret during filming. She even pretended (unsuccessfully) to fake a mild back injury, only to blow her cover by dancing at the show's wrap party.
Fibbing is not everyone's strong suit, but don't worry, Ellie. This just means you are a naturally honest person.

Tristen Does Television's "See No Evil"
I'm a good couple of weeks late on this one but it's not my fault. I got caught up the week it came out, and just forgot to post it until just now. Okay, it might be 10% my fault, but that's being generous. Anyways, you probably know by now that Television, the band the Strokes has made a career of covering, is coming to Marathon Music Works at the end of the month and since I'm this late, you probably know that Tristen is opening that show. And if you know that, you probably have heard that Tristen put out a cover of "See No Evil" soon after it was announced that she was doing the gig. And if you're sitting there, nodding your head, and thinking, "no shit, Sherlock. This is old news," well fuck you, buddy – you were also probably the kid in high school who thought he was real cool or smart because he turned in his test way before everyone else.
BUT, if you're not one of those condescending pricks and you genuinely haven't heard it or have heard it before and you just want to hear it again, I give you Tristen's excellent cover. It doesn't stray too far from the original, but Tristen adds her charm to it. Dig in.

You can unlock or lock the door from your smartphone, as long as you're standing near it, and even add preapproved users — like associates coming for the weekend or a cleaning particular person — so that you need not hand out a bodily model of your key.
Why we prefer it as a gift: The HP Sprocket 2-in-1 helps you to or anybody else you approve print 2-by-three-inch images wirelessly from a smartphone or pill, wherever you go.

I've been struggling with my Audigy soundcard for the last 12 months - mainly latency problems and an ASIO driver that never seemed right.
I put it down to the often stated inadequacy of Soundblaster products for "pro" audio.
Having spent a fair amount of time researching new soundcards, I thought that I may as well see if there was a driver update for the Audigy [if it all went wrong I wouldn't be any worse off because I was already planning a new purchase].
Well, I found an update, installed it and my system is suddenly working nicely! - HURRAH. So far I've got latency down to 20ms using ASIO - down from 50ms using WDM - and everythings so much more tighter and accurate.
I am so happy, I just had to share this with you all.

This weeks big release is the third outing for the Men In Black with Josh Brolin joining Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith in the intergalactic fight against alien invasion. Sony will be expecting big things from the MIB and it's undoubtedly one of their tent pole blockbusters of the summer. After the damp squib that was Men In Black 2 however, there was hardly a major public demand for a third installment so it remains to be seen whether there will be sufficient interest. Nevertheless, if Smith and Jones can rekindle some of the old magic and the plot is interesting enough, it just might prove to be a success.
Also out this week is pregnancy-related rom-com What to Expect When You're Expecting, Wes Anderson's latest offering Moonrise Kingdom and Finnish Nazi's-on -the-moon epic Iron Sky.
If you want to check to see if any of these films are playing near you, you can visit Find Any Film and they'll be able to help.
Moonrise Kingdom *Pick of the Week*
[yframe url='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7N8wkVA4_8s']
Like Tim Burton, Wes Anderson is a director with a very distinct and idiosyncratic sense of style. The difference between the two however is that while Burton peddles identikit Gothic blockbusters starring Johnny Depp and Helen Bonham Carter, Anderson makes smart, funny and endearing indie comedies with Bill Murray et al. I know which gets my vote. Anderson's movies can be a little too quirky for their own good at times, but when he gets it right, which is most of the time, it can be a joy to behold.
This time out, with an ensemble cast including Murray, Bruce Willis, Ed Norton and Frances McDormand to name but a few, he tells the story of two young lovebirds who decide to run away from there New England town, prompting the local Sheriff (Willis) and the girl's parents (Murray and McDorman) to lead a search party to try and find them. After opening the Cannes film festival last week, the movie has received very positive reviews and while undoubtedly very much your typical Wes Anderson style movie, that's not always a bad thing.
Adam Lowes' says:
Falls very much into that self-consciously kitsch aesthetic which has characterised all of Anderson's previous work, but his lovingly obsessive attention to detail never fails to delight.

Men in Black 3
[yframe url='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyaFEBI_L24′]
The good guys dress in black, remember that. It's 15 years ago now since the original MIB outing hit our cinema screens and became one of the archetypal 90's blockbusters. Since then, there's been one lacklustre sequel, a revolution in digital effects and a less than impressive career trajectory for Will Smith. The former Fresh Prince has had a few misfires in recent years with Hitch, Hancock and I Am Legend, to name but three, all failing to really ignite the way his movies did back in his late-90's heyday. The galaxy defenders are back though and big Willie will be looking to rekindle the magic. Plot details are a little vague, though it's clear from the trailer and various promotional materials that Smith's J is forced to go back in time and work with a young version of Jones' K. According the official site:
Agents J and K are back in time. J has seen some inexplicable things in his 15 years with the Men in Black, but nothing, not even aliens, perplexes him as much as his wry, reticent partner. But when K's life and the fate of the planet are put at stake, Agent J will have to travel back in time to put things right. J discovers that there are secrets to the universe that K never told him – secrets that will reveal themselves as he teams up with the young agent K to save his partner, the agency, and the future of humankind.
Early reports seem to suggest two things, firstly, Josh Brolin does a mean Tommy Lee Jones' impression, and secondly, MIB 3 is nothing groundbreaking or revolutionary, but its perfectly watchable popcorn cinema and a vast improvement on its immediate predecessor.
Adam Lowes says:
The more I read about MiB3, the more I'm becoming increasingly interested in seeing it. The time travel plot is usually a fun device in any fantasy film, and Brolin looks fantastic.

What to Expect When You're Expecting
[yframe url='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9v_kZLQp9M']
Based on the book by the same name, it's a star-studded rom-com looking at the various ups and down of the pregnancy process for 5 different couples. Starring a cavalcade of Hollywood favourites including *deep breath* Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, Elizabeth Banks, Chace Crawford, Anna Kendrick, Brooklyn Decker, Matthew Morrison, Dennis Quaid and Chris Rock (amongst others). Now, of course, you should never judge a book by its cover, and never review a film you haven't seen, but this definitely looks like amovie that won't be to everybody's comedic taste. Reviews have been fairly poor thus far and it appears the lessons of New Years Eve have not been heeded. Namely, simply throwing more and more star names into a film does not necessary equate to a winning formula.
Iron Sky
[yframe url='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py_IndUbcxc']
Nazi's on the moon. Why didn't they think of this sooner? A schlocky piece of Sci-Fi exploitation which seems to have been on the radar for months now. There's been a lot of controversy over the movies' UK Distributor Revolver deciding to release it only for one day at UK cinemas (which was Wednesday by the way…so….sorry about that), but such is the hype surrounding it, I imagine it will still do decent business given its relative size and budget. The plot, for those who need a bit more than 'Nazi's on the moon', suggests that as the war slipped from Germany's grasp in 1945, a group of Nazi's were sent to the moon where to bide their time and plan their comeback. In 2018, the time is right for them to return and invade once again. Reviews haven't been as kind as the filmmakers may have hoped for, but if you go in expecting a ridiculous piece of B-Movie entertainment, you can't really go far wrong.
Adam Lowes adds:
There's a fun satire fighting to get out somewhere, but the film is nowhere near as funny or subversive as it thinks its being.

Tales of the Night
[yframe url='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dX2k8w766U']
A French computer silhouette animation revolving around six allegorical folk stories. Now there's a description I've never used before. A boy and a girl meet in an old run down cinema where the old technician shows them these dream like fantasies up on the screen. Sounds like a fairly unique animated offering! It certainly looks like an innovative and imaginative piece of cinema, courtesy of director Michel Ocelot, and could be well worth taking movie loving youngsters too.

A powerful French War drama set in Paris during World War 2 and starring Tahar Rahim, who shot to prominence with a captivating role in the excellent A Prophet.
According the official site:
1942, in Nazi-occupied Paris. Tahar Rahim (A Prophet) stars as Younes – a young Algerian rogue, living on the wrong side of the law selling goods to fellow North African immigrants on the black market.
In a time of oppression and radicalism, Younes is loyal only to himself and his family back home to whom he sends money regularly. His aim is simple – he plans to survive long enough to accumulate enough money to return home a rich man.
But his life changes when the police raid his apartment block, taking all of his contraband and arresting him. A deal is placed on the table: Become a spy at the local Mosque, or face an indefinite time in prison. At the Mosque, Younes meets the Algerian singer Salim Halali, and is moved by Salim's beautiful voice and strong personality. A deep friendship develops, and soon after Younes discovers that Salim is Jewish.
As Younes goes deeper undercover into the Mosque, keeping a close eye on rector Si Kaddour Ben Ghabrit (Michael Lonsdale), he becomes drawn into a dangerous and morally complex situation – and must face a dilemma between serving his own best interests, or putting himself in mortal danger to save the lives of innocent people.

This documentary looking at the rise of the legendary Klitschko brothers is a must-see for any boxing fans out there. Ukrainian brothers Wladimir and Vitali lived in Germany for many years and after glittering amateur careers went on to become dominant forces in heavyweight Boxing. This movie takes up up to the verge of Wladimir's fight with David Haye which would see him clinch the WBA title and thus give the brothers all five titles between them. It's an intimate look at the setback and triumphs which have made up their career to date with plenty of notable talking heads and hard-hitting in-ring action.
Barbaric Genius
[yframe url='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGfrAzs5rms']
Another intriguing documentary out this week looks at the rise and fall of literary genius John Healy. Healy served in the army when he was younger and even experienced a successful boxing career before being dishonourably discharged for drunkenness and going AWOL. He then went into a downward spiral and spent around 15 years as a homeless alcoholic on London's streets.
During his time in prison for one of several petty crimes, he took up chess and after showing a particular aptitude for the game, channeled a lot of his energies into playing and did so to quite a high level. He then went on to write a memoir of his eventful life called The Grass Arena which became a literary best seller. Healy's publishing career took a turn for the worse however when he threatened the editors of his publishers Faber and Faber with an axe if they didn't give him a second run. He was subsequently blacklisted across the publishing world and faded from prominence. Filmmaker Paul Duane offers a fascinating glimpse into the authors astonishing life and has interviews with both the man himself and the editor's in question in an attempt to offer both sides of the story.

Gaming has exploded in popularity recently, this due in part to the social interactivity that modern video games bring to the table. As technology has advanced consoles have come equipped with online networks that allow you to play with friends, make new ones, and enjoy the social aspects of playing with your friends in you living room, whether they live five miles away or five hundred. A disturbing trend has steadily been becoming a gaming reality, multiplayer is a must have for a game to be considered a "success".
Frank Gibeau of EA recently stated that "the model is finished", as in the single player only model. If he's right, the experiences will go the way of the dinosaur soon. Recent games like Dead Space 2 included a multiplayer component into the offering. And while it was good, it pales in comparison to the single player campaign. There was a time not too long ago, where multiplayer was a great addition to a single player campaign. Now more often than not, it's the star of the show. Just take the most popular franchise in gaming, Call of Duty: Black Ops. Everyone wants to sell millions like that, and their example is to make a multiplayer component that will keep gamers coming back for more. To add this multiplayer experience into a game costs time. And since time costs money, gaming budgets have skyrocketed.
And lets face facts here, multiplayer games are all about repetition. Sure, there is a dynamic to multiplayer games that give the sense of each and every round is different, but really it's not. Think about it. Of all the rounds of Halo or Call of Duty, was it really different? Or just a variation of itself. Over and over again. I think the answer is clear on that one. All of these multiplayer titles will just slowly gravitate towards the Madden philosophy of game development: Small tweaks, big sales, rinse and repeat. I actually like Call of Duty,as well as the other franchises I listed above. They have their place in my library. But you know what you are getting going into them. But mid range games that are already tight on resources and aren't doing themselves any favors by imitating games like these.
There's no doubt that when multiplayer is involved in a game, it's detracting from the single player. And more often than not, it's piss poor. Honestly, there's only a handful of truly good multiplayer experiences out there. You have your games that were designed for it, like Halo:Reach, Call of Duty, Battlefield, and Killzone. Then you have a very small handful of developers who think outside of the box and create games like Left 4 Dead or Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. Then you have everything else. There are a ton of games that shouldn't have multiplayer. Of the more high profile names, Bioshock 2 definitely didn't need multiplayer. And although some love it, I don't think Uncharted 2 needed it either. So was it thrown in for good measure? There's nothing wrong with playing a bad ass 8 hour campaign. But what has been increasingly happening is campaign lengths are getting shorter, containing less features, and then bundled with a mediocre multiplayer and shipped.
Hopefully, developers will look to their peers in the recent successes of games like Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and Bulletstorm. They nailed it, and each took a different approach. Assassin's Creed wanted to extend the shelf life of it's game and it did so in amazing fashion with their first offering. They brought their single player world to a multiplayer arena and it worked extremely well. Maybe even more amazing was Bulletstorm's refrain from adding in a multiplayer, knowing that it wouldn't work. Instead you have the core principles of the single player dynamic incorporated into a cooperative mode that can offer just as many hours of fun as any multilplayer component. Perhaps these should be the titles that are looked to when trying to decide on that all important multiplayer mode that your game has to have to be considered a "success".
Or better yet, just don't go there. When developers make the conscious decision to include multiplayer into a game, they aren't just asking for a gamers money, but time. And being that there are plenty of other, better multiplayer games out there, all that time that is put into multiplayer could have been used to make a lasting impression on the person that bought your game for the story, premise, or characters. Take Batman Arkham City, Rocksteady is going to sell millions of the next Batman game, why? Number one, it's the only superhero game in the history of gaming not to suck ass. But more importantly, gamers know they are going to get a AAA experience when it comes to the campaign. Every resource that Rocksteady has is being poured into the single player experience, and they aren't deviating from their gameplan to please a few people who want otherwise. Am I opposed to Rocksteady making a multiplayer in Batman Arkham City? Heck no, but I can certainly respect their professional opinion as why not to.
And it works both ways, single player in some cases is probably hurting multiplayer experiences in some way as well. There are plenty of multiplayer centric games that have no business wasting their efforts on a single player portion of the game. Why in this day and age, where games are a multi-billion dollar industry is there a clear lack of management in the development efforts? How doesn't the producer for a game like Bioshock 2 step in and say, you know what this isn't exactly groundbreaking stuff maybe we should just can it. It really does stink to hear the biggest publishers in the business claiming that multiplayer is a necessary component for a game to be successful. All it really means is either game quality is about to take a huge nosedive, or prices are about to go way up.

text: I don't think she has the ability to get into a relationship. She sounds like she's all talk, which people do when they don't have a life and don't really do anything about it. So I don't think you have to worry about that. The only thing you may be able to do is to distract her from all this with light, positive conversation. Divert her from being negative. The reason the way she is, is that people with mental illness don't have a proper coping mechanism like normal healthy people do. She can't cope with the advise you give her, so she will quickly dismiss it. She vents negatively because that's how she copes with her emotions. It can't be turned off, but it can be maintained with therapy and medication...the problem is, she has to want to do it. It's fight or flight, and nothing in between when these kinds of conversations come up, so she may never get the help she needs. Kinda have to have a nervous breakdown and end up in the hospital to get help...sad but that's how it is sometimes. I know for sure you can't expect a person that doesn't think normal can be a good friend...they are so caught up with the mess in their head they don't have the capacity to do so. Like my mom who is bi-polar, can be very difficult, is a narcissist, has passive aggressive tendencies, and can be down right mean/opinionated. It's her mental health. Nothing I can do about it...she's taking medication, therapy, but still it's there.

The HPLMIXED procedure is a high-performance version of the MIXED procedure in SAS/STAT software. The HPLMIXED procedure fits a variety of mixed linear models to data and enables you to use these fitted models to make statistical inferences about the data. A mixed linear model is a generalization of the standard linear model used in the GLM procedure in SAS/STAT software; the generalization is that the data are permitted to exhibit correlation and nonconstant variability. Therefore, the mixed linear model provides you with the flexibility of modeling not only the means of your data (as in the standard linear model) but also their variances and covariances. PROC HPLMIXED runs in either single-machine mode or distributed mode. The procedure enables you to do the following:

Porsche is celebrating the world premiere of the new Cayman at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show. The third generation of the Cayman, which is making its appearance before an international audience at the LA Convention Center, has been re-engineered from the ground up â€" it is lower and longer, lighter and faster, more efficient and more powerful than ever. The two-seat sport coupé will be launched on the market in two versions: Cayman and Cayman S. A longer wheelbase, wider track and larger wheels enhance the driving performance of the mid-engine sports car to a level without equal in its competitive class.
Delivering more power with even better fuel economy than before, any of two highly efficient flat-six cylinder engines is mounted just in front of the rear axle, surrounded by its lightweight aluminium and steel body. The Cayman is powered by a 2.7-liter engine with 275 hp; with the Sport Chrono package it accelerates from a standstill to 60 mph in 5.1 seconds. The 3.4-liter engine in the Cayman S produces 325Â hp; with PDK and the Sport Chrono package it sprints from 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds.
The new Cayman will arrive dealerships in Spring 2013 starting at $52,600 for the Cayman and $63,800 for the Cayman S, not including a destination charge of $950.

Yesterday's appointment and some other stuff I decided to throw in.
We went to the park for a picnic today... It was the best weather... Then I made myself cut roses and dig weeds until I was too sick for anymore... I had to do more than play today.
The funniest thing Gator said today was....
He comes running into me wearing Ry's Helmet and no shoes... and says
"There is mud all over my scooter!"
Me-" There is mud where?"
G-"On my scooter, and I JUST CAN'T HANDLE IT!!!"(include pout face and poop lip)
me-Just laughing
He has to get those phrases from his drama queen sister.
Who told be today that she just couldn't play anymore... When I asked why? She told be it was because one of her friends "Just Broke Her Heart"
I told her to cowgirl up....

I am so glad that everything went well with your appointment today. BTW, you should never feel quilt for having this pregnacy come easy. 1) That is the way it is suppose to happen. 2) You have paid your dues in the hardship catagory.
On another note, I have been thinking about this hardship catagory. It is so strange because I know so many families have gone through worse than ours, but is it wrong to want perfection or at least no more surgeries. We went to the cardiologist about a week and a half ago and the little mans pulmonary valve is not growing. He wants us to come back in September and is going to order a holter and MRI, but it looks like it will be back to the OR a lot sooner than we had planned. Totally not expected. I just want to grab my little one and run the other direction. The idea of the surgery doesn't bother me as much as that this time he will know what is going on. Ugh!

yay!! I'm glad that the appointment went well. Having some validation that the baby is good helps a bit with the stress level. When is the "biggie" ultrasound? It was great to see you on Tuesday even if we didn't get to visit much.

We got to hear the heart beat yesterday and I swear I will never get tired of hearing that noise. Music to our ears! How exciting that you will find out so soon! I love to know. It just helps me prepare. I am just grateful I live in this day and age with medical technology. If I had been born 20,30, or 100 years earlier, we would have had no idea about Lilly or Ryker. Anyways, you are in my thoughts as we both journey through this. And my prayers, of course!

In today's fast-faced world, nobody seems to have time. Almost everyone is moving and on the go. In this fast-paced world, is your kid losing out? Nutrition is directly linked to IQ, learning, concentration, sleep and behaviour. Make sure that your child is getting the right kind of food, so that he/she may excel in all spheres. Today, there are thousands of companies advertising fast, packaged food for kids. Items like Lunchables, biscuits, flavoured drink powders and even ketchup are marketed towards kids, and these often contain a plethora of added colours and preservatives that may have negative effects on children. In fact, certain artificial colours such as Sunset Yellow are even banned in many European countries due to the negative effects they may induce. Hidden sugars are also something to look out for, especially in sugary cereals, drinks, and even pre-packaged soup. Eating a healthy balanced diet, with carbs, proteins, fibre, vitamins, minerals and fats is vital for good health. Nutrition experts recommend six small meals each day, instead of 3 big meals. Eating in this way reduces the chances of getting hungry or sleepy throughout the day. Here is a short quiz to find out whether your child is receiving a healthy diet:
Here are some foods that help your kid stay healthy and sharp:
- Eggs, preferably boiled, scrambled, or sunny side up.
- Yogurt, you can try different varieties like Greek or flavoured. (but look out for excess sugars and preservatives.) You can also try serving it with their favourite fruits or cereals.
- Leafy greens such as spinach and kale (Karam Saag) are full of folate and vitamins. These are often difficult to serve kids, but you should try incorporating it into their omelette or sneaking it into a smoothie with other fruits.
- Fish is a great source of Vitamin D and Omega 3 Fatty Acids which helps fight against memory loss and declination of mental skills. Kids will enjoy fish grilled, and you can try skewering it on kebab sticks and serving an accompanying dip with it. Fish can also be incorporated into sandwiches, tacos, or just eaten with rice.
- Nuts and seeds are full of good fats and help with memory and keeping the brain sharp. Peanut butter sandwiches are great way to incorporate nuts into your kid's diet. You can also grind nuts and add it to a Nutella sandwich for some crunch or just serve them as it is.
- Apples are a great way to satiate a kid's craving for sugar. An interesting way to serve apples is with peanut butter as a dip. (yeah, it actually tastes pretty good) But make sure to leave the skin on as most of the nutrition is concentrated there.
If you're still stuck, here are some great recipes to try out: http://indianhealthyrecipes.com/recipes/kids-favorites/

Just when we thought we'd seen all Isaiah Thomas could do, the diminutive Celtics star found yet another level Tuesday, scoring 53 on his late sister's birthday to give Boston a 2-0 second-round series lead over the Wizards.
The million-dollar question: How? How does a guy who's 5-foot-9, who nearly averaged 29 points per game during the regular season, continue to wreck defenses so mightily in a playoff setting when defenses are hellbent on neutralizing him? The simple answer is that Thomas and his coaching staff have found ways to make Thomas virtually unguardable within Boston's offensive scheme; especially since Brad Stevens tweaked his lineup in the middle of the first round, a move that gave Thomas more space to navigate. Stevens all but eliminated Amir Johnson from the rotation, meaning Al Horford is now soaking up a ton of minutes as the team's lone post player on the court. Having Horford as the lone Celtics big helps Thomas's handoff game immensely. Sign in - Google Accounts. Halldór Eldjárn. Staðlabúðin - ÍST EN 749:2004.

It took more than 10 months, but today the scientists who blew the whistle on a paper in Science about the dangers of microplastics for fish have been vindicated.
An expert group at Sweden's Central Ethical Review Board (CEPN) has concluded that the paper's authors, Oona Lönnstedt and Peter Eklöv of Uppsala University (UU), committed "scientific dishonesty" and says that Science should retract the paper, which appeared in June 2016. Science published an editorial expression of concern—which signals that a paper has come under suspicion—on 3 December 2016, and deputy editor Andrew Sugden says a retraction statement is now in preparation. (Science's news department, which works independently of the journal's editorial side, published a feature about the case in March.) The report comes as a "huge relief," says UU's Josefin Sundin, one of seven researchers in five countries who claimed the paper contained fabricated data shortly after it came out.
Morning glory seeds are tough enough for an interplanetary trip. Natural sunscreens help morning glory seeds survive doses of ultraviolet (UV) radiation that would burn most humans to a crisp, according to a new study. The hardy seeds of the common flowering plant would probably even survive a voyage between planets, say the researchers. This might help researchers decide which species to send on future missions to Mars, a place that is bombarded with UV light because of its thin atmosphere.
