In-Tile Mouse Pixel Counter
armopride Posts: 1
Hello! I use Pyxel primarily for game asset design and occasional pixel art. I thought that it would be helpful to have a small pixel counter from the beginning of each tile you enter. So for example a small counter that's next to the mouse (Not to close so you can still see what you are working on.) where when you drag a line through each tile it would start from where ever you enter and count until the adjacent side is met where it would reset if you continue on. I think it would be very good for if you are making an asset for example that need to be symmetrical faster to do by free hand.

- Google announced a very specific share buyback in its earnings report.
- The number given is a "perfect number."
- Google has a history of making mathematical references.
In its Q4 earnings report on Thursday, Google's parent company Alphabet announced plans to buy back some of its stock — $8,589,869,056 of stock to be exact.
There's a likely reason Google chose that specific value for their planned buyback: It's what mathematicians call a "perfect number."
Perfect numbers are whole numbers with a fun property — they are the sum of all their proper divisors, or the whole numbers that evenly divide into the original number, except itself. The smallest perfect number is 6: 6 is divisible by 1, 2, 3, and itself. But then take those first three divisors and add them up, and you get 1 + 2 + 3 = 6.
8,589,869,056 is such a number. It has a few too many divisors to write out here — 33 proper divisors in total — but the sum of its proper divisors does in fact come back up to itself.
In addition to their defining curious property, perfect numbers are relatively rare. They are closely connected to a certain class of prime numbers called Mersenne primes, or prime numbers that are one less than 2 raised to some prime number. Each even perfect number has a corresponding Mersenne prime.
Mersenne primes are interesting because it's relatively computationally easy to check whether a candidate Mersenne prime is in fact prime. Because of that, most of the largest prime numbers yet discovered are Mersenne primes, including the largest currently known prime number, 277,232,917 - 1.
Only 50 Mersenne primes have been found so far, which means because of their correspondence, only 50 perfect numbers are known so far. That makes Google's buyback choice quite a special number.
Google has a history of making mathematical references. In 2011, the company bid a multiple of pi in an auction for Nortel Networks' tech patents. Shortly after renaming itself Alphabet in 2015, the company announced a buyback in the amount of $5,099,019,513.59, which happens to be the square root of 26 x 1018 — 26, of course, being the number of letters in the alphabet. Google's name itself comes from the massively large number called a "googol" — 10^100, or a 1 followed by 100 zeros.

September, 2018
In the Municipal Committees, the percentage of female participation increased from 16% to 24%, a proportion very close to 28% of the electoral roll, while in the Departmental Committees the figure practically doubled, from 8% to 15%, a great achievement of these elections.
In the coffee elections of September 8 and 9, women and young people increased their participation as federated representatives in the Municipal and Departmental Committees of Coffee Growers.
In the Municipal Committees, female participation increased from 16% to 24%, a proportion very close to 28% of the electoral roll, while in the Departmental Committees the figure practically doubled, from 8% to 15%, a great achievement of these elections, in line with the gender equality strategy of the Colombian Coffee Growers Federation (FNC).
In terms of generational integration and young people remaining in the countryside, another of the great challenges for the coffee sector, important advances were also made, as 20% of representatives in the Departmental Committees and 34% in the Municipal Committees are younger than 45 years old.
Finally, as to leadership renewal, the rate reached 42% in the Departmental Committees and 53% in the Municipal Committees.
"We are pleased to know that one of the great purposes of these elections, greater representation of women and young people, was achieved. We have to continue working in this line for an increasingly equitable and sustainable coffee sector," said the FNC CEO, Roberto Vélez.
These positive electoral results also come after the reform of statutes of the FNC last year, which introduced important changes to encourage greater participation of women and young people in the sector as holders of federated rights, including the right to vote and be elected.
In total, 204,423 coffee growers went to vote, a figure that accounted for 57% of the electoral roll, across 17 departments and 570 municipalities in the country.
For these elections, a record 16,140 coffee growers were registered as candidates to renew the 383 Municipal Committees (six main members and six substitutes) and the 15 Departmental Committees (six main members and six substitutes), for a total of 4,776 positions.
The coffee institutions in Colombia, led by the FNC, have always been seen as a model in other producing countries, with important advances in gender equity and generational change.
And these new achievements in federated leaderships are great news for customers, allies and consumers of Café de Colombia aware of the importance of these issues.

Well, apparently the President Proclamation* naming September 10th to be World Suicide Prevention Day isn't overly news-worthy. I have news on just about all day and didn't hear anything about it. I understand that it's a day that's supposed to make people focus on the issue, just like National Suicide Prevention Week is supposed to bring focus on the problem for a whole week. I'm sure there's also a suicide prevention month, but here's the problem…
Suicide happens every day.
Suicides happen every day.
Multiple suicides happen every day.
Okay…did you get that yet?
Too many people take their own lives every day.
Suicide is a big problem in the United States, and around the world.
I'm not talking about those who have terminal illness who've thought rationally about their decision to end their life, their suffering, with as much dignity as they can. I'm sure those are also included in the statistics, but they aren't really the focus of this post.
The suicides that concern me are the ones in which someone reaching out to the individual considering taking their own life might have made a difference. I'm writing this for the people out there who have trouble in their life that they just don't see a way through, whether it's problems in school, home life, bullying, PTSD, finances, and any myriad other issues. In most instances, the person struggling just can't see past their problem(s). Many times, all it takes is someone intervening, talking to them, showing them that they aren't the only person dealing with that problem…giving them hope, showing them that there is a way through the trouble.
Is it a guarantee that intervening will prevent every suicide? Of course not, but it's certainly worth trying.
Learn to recognize the signs of someone considering suicide.
Learn the risk factors.
Get involved!
Keep it going all year, not just for a month, a week, or a day.
You can make a difference.
You could save a life.
Here's a Music Monday post I wrote a few years ago: Music Monday – Don't Try Suicide. The discussion of the last video, Lucky One by Mike Corrado, talks briefly about PTSD. The post also has a few links to websites focused on suicide prevention and information.
*I didn't realize one country's president can designate anything a Worldwide event, regardless of how important, but I guess our President's ego is big enough to dictate such.

Light Up Your Life Society Helps
Empower Independence to End of Life
"As Home Care nurses and personal caregivers, we have the privilege to honour client and family wishes to remain in their homes for end of life care. This would not be possible without the ongoing support of the Light Up Your Life Society.
The equipment funded by the Society is invaluable, in that it provides safety, convenience and comfort in the home. The vast variety of specialized equipment that may be needed for an undetermined amount of time can be very costly and unaffordable for most families.
As Home Care providers, we appreciate that the equipment is readily available when the clients may need it most. Not only does Community Care utilize this equipment for the benefit of our clients, but we are active in supporting the annual Light Up Your Life Silent Auction, the proceeds of which are added to the annual campaign funds.
To keep the equipment up to current standards, it is imperative that our communities continue to support the Light Up Your Life Society, as we never know when the need may arise in our own lives."
-Community Care Staff, WestView Centre, Stony Plain
Support of the Light Up Your Life Society
Enables Excellent Care
"The Tri-Communities are so fortunate to have the support of the Light Up Your Life Society and its dedicated volunteers. As a healthcare worker in the community, I have seen over the past many years what a difference can be made in the lives of our Palliative Care clients and Continuing Care residents with the equipment the Society has donated.
This year my family will be adding the name of my father to our annual memorial donation. He passed away on February 1, 2010 at the Good Samaritan Care Centre in Stony Plain, and had previously lived at George Hennig Place in Stony Plain for a number of years. The equipment that has been donated to these facilities contributed to the excellent care he received."
-Jane Keck, LPN, Stony Plain, Alberta
Light Up Your Life a Beacon
"The Light Up Your Life Society has been a beacon for clients and their families at a most difficult time. The equipment purchased with donations to Light Up Your Life enables clients to stay in their homes and be with their family at end of life. Light Up Your Life truly gives meaning to the term community care, as all Community Care health professionals consider the support that generous donations make possible, a vital component in their delivery of care."
-Cindy Monfette, RN, WestView Community Care
There is no higher level of satisfaction for the
Light Up Your Life Society
than knowing we have made a difference in the lives of individuals and families coping with end-of-life care. Please read some of the testimonials from residents of Stony Plain, Spruce Grove and Parkland County. We hope you enjoy reading their stories as much as we do.
The Dove of Hope in Spruce Grove
a Symbol of Remembrance
"In the early 1990s I was President of the Allied Arts Council of Spruce Grove, and was invited to attend a Light Up Your Life meeting. The committee and fundraiser had been established in Stony Plain and they now wanted to encompass Spruce Grove in the effort. The committee wanted a theme for Spruce Grove, and we came up with the Dove of Hope, for which I developed the concept design and the Allied Arts Council's Little Church Gallery became the focal Light Up location.
I was pleased we were part of such a worthwhile cause, purchasing medical equipment for palliative care. I served on the committee for a few years and have continued to support the Dove of Hope, remembering grandparents with a donation at Christmas.
My only surviving grandparent, Esther Lunan, lived at the Spruce Grove Good Samaritan Centre for 5 1/2 years, and during her last 3 months, she required special care and equipment. Our family truly appreciated the comfort and assistance that special lifts and a new electric bed with comfort mattress brought to her. This not only made Gramma's final days more bearable, but made it possible for the staff to care for her and keep her in her own home where she passed away on August 27, 2005.
I had never really thought about my family needing palliative care, but we were so thankful that the help was there when we needed it. We sincerely thank each and every person who has worked and served with the Light Up Your Life Campaign, and especially to all those who have donated to this cause over the years."

Content and Happy at Home
Thanks to Light Up Your Life
"Thank you for the palliative/hospice care that you supply to families. My husband, Ray Jones, passed away January 24, 2013. He had terminal bladder cancer. His wish was to remain at home for end of life care and, because of all the services and equipment that you offer, we were able to fulfill his desire.
We live on an acreage, and you delivered and set up a hospital bed which was put in our front room. We have windows all around, and he loved to watch the wildlife (deer, moose, rabbits, squirrels and coyotes, etc.), and he enjoyed seeing trees (spruce, pine, poplars and birch), watching the change of seasons, and the saskatoon, pin cherry and rose bushes. He could see the high blue Alberta sky with fluffy white clouds and dark, stormy clouds also; the sunrises and sunsets, too; and the acres of manicured lawn which was his pride and joy. And he could even watch the traffic on the highway coming and going.
Ray died content and happy at home with his family by his side.
This letter is to give thanks and say how much the family appreciated all the help that we received during that stressful, heartfelt time."

" and the "
Gift of Care
" personal gift bags which are given to each new client…The LUYL Society provides an opportunity for all interested community members to have a role in supporting palliative and end of life care in our community and together we make a real difference in the lives of palliative/hospice clients and their families. Heartfelt gratitude from all staff and management at
WVHC Hospice
is extended to the
LUYL Society
for their on-going dedication and commitment in supporting palliative/hospice care."

One of the Most Worthwhile Campaigns
"Suzie and I believe the
Light Up Your Life Campaign
conducted yearly is one of the most worthwhile campaigns held in the Tri-Community area. Our financial assistance in supporting all those families and patients in palliative/hospice and continuing care is the least we can do. Please count on our support in the years ahead."
-Murray & Suzie Kulak, Decker Properties Ltd., Stony Plain
Most Heartfelt Thanks and Appreciation
Dear Linda and Members of the Light Up Your Life Society,
It is with the most heartfelt thanks and appreciation that I send you this letter on behalf of the residents, families and staff who live and work in the [Good Samaritan Society] sites [Stony Plain Care Centre and Cottages, Spruce Grove Centre, George Hennig Place]. This past year you provided funds for these sites to be able to purchase equipment that only enhances the lives of the residents who reside there.
The Society is truly an awesome one who is dedicated to those in need. For the past 25 years, the Light Up Your Life Society has been fundraising in the tri community area so that those residents who require palliative care have the proper equipment that is needed. Your dedication to this cause is commendable. As a representative of the Good Samaritan Society, let me say a big Thank You once again from all of us. Without the hard work and dedication that all of you have for this cause, we would not be able to provide the care that we do in each of our sites and we have been truly blessed to be one of the recipients of those dollars.
I look forward to submitting our requests for the next year and I will definitely teach my replacement all about you and what you do. Thank you for the past 25 years. It has been a privilege working with you."

About Astro Feng Shui
About Astro Feng Shui
Astro Feng Shui is an abbreviation for Astrological Feng Shui. Traditional Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese philosophical belief that space harmonization can create a positive flow of energy.
The Astrological Feng Shui is a method developed by me that combines my extensive knowledge of the traditional Feng Shui, Astrology, Symbology, and years of successful practice in improving my clients' wellbeing through harmonization of their house space and contents.
We live simultaneously in two different cosmos.
Events, situations and things that we have control over, such as the flowers we plant in our garden, the quality of the food we bring to the table or even the decision to repaint an old chair, are considered components of the microcosm.
The macrocosm encompasses areas of our life that we cannot control, such as relationships, ancestors, feelings that other people have towards us, and to some extent, the state of our health.
Every improvement in the microcosm benefits the macrocosm, which in turn reacts positively towards the microcosm, thus creating a continuous circle of positive energy.
With Astro Feng Shui this positive energy is created by harmonizing physical spaces that are indicating need for repairs and consequently bring these benefits to the personal areas of our lives.
Everybody will benefit from learning about Astro Feng Shui. No previous experience or knowledge of Feng Shui is necessary.
To make this knowledge available to everyone, I have developed the Astro Feng Shui Compass, that will guide you in your journey to match areas of your life that you want to improve with objects and spaces that need to be harmonized.
Easy to use, the Compass is available for download on this site.
Coming soon, my book "Your House, Its Secrets" will explore in much more detail the magic positive transformation of your personal life.

Student Spotlight Interview: Arvind Kumar
by Chloe' Skye
Arvind Kumar is a Fulbright grantee in a US Fulbright student program in affiliation with Charles University in Pilsen. He is a recent Duke graduate who took a gamble on a Czech lab trying an experimental surgery technique and was enjoying the manifold benefits of his decision! We discussed stem cell research in the Czech context, his experience taking care of piglets, and how he gets to act the part of a TV surgeon in real life.
Fast Facts:
Hometown: Rosalyn Heights, NY
Age: 21
College, Major/Minor: Bachelor of Science in Math and Chemistry, Duke University
School in the Czech Republic: Charles University Faculty of Medicine in Pilsen
Favorite Czech Phrase: 'asi jo' (probably)
Favorite Czech Food: Duck breast with red cabbage
Favorite Czech Food: Duck breast with red cabbage
Tell me what your research is about.
I work in a lab that specializes in experimental surgery on piglets using new, innovative techniques and in hopes of eventually translating the results to humans. My professor does research on liver and anything related to the intestinal tract. There's a disease called sinusoidal obstruction syndrome that damages liver and is a common side effect of chemotherapy in humans. We are trying to treat this by applying stem cells to piglets with the disease and seeing if liver function improves. So far, results of phase I clinical trials are very applicable to humans.
How did you choose Czechia?
It was a 'windy' path. I learned about an international workshop to teach students surgical techniques, and the professor of that workshop is now my mentor. I found out about it because it is similar to my Duke research, which was from a big data perspective, but with a different take because it's so hands-on. That nitty-gritty detail really intrigued me. I researched it from abroad and the professor and I Skyped a few times. He was really excited and eventually wrote my letter of affiliation.
Do you have experience living or working abroad?
I have never been to Czech Republic before. Unlike the other Fulbright students, who are more interested in Czech culture or history, I came to work in a specific lab. I did spend 2.5 months doing biochemical research in Tokyo, Japan in 2016. I love to learn about the intersection between science and culture in the context of international cooperation. But I have never been abroad so long before. What's funny is that I may know more about medicine in a Czech context than in an American one. For example, I was speaking with my brother who's studying dentistry and mentioned the word peritoneum –- he said, 'Wait, what?' [It turns out] it's pronounced totally differently there. So it will be funny when I go back and start medical school and have to relearn all of the pronunciations.
In the US, stem cells are quite the controversial topic. Can you compare this research in the Czech and American contexts?
Stem cell is quite the buzzword in the American political context. It's specifically embroyonic stem cells that are the center of the controversy. In our research the stem cells are extracted from the piglets' bone marrow and used to cure them, so there aren't the same political implications. It's easy to aspirate and extract bone marrow, like blood, while the pig is under anesthesia.
How does your research work?
My mentor Dr. Václav Liška heads a team of eight students. He's a full-time surgeon, then he runs this lab on the side. He oversees us doing the surgery unless it's really difficult and he steps in. We all work together and have rotations in terms of taking care of the piglets and getting experience with the operating table. We have a bit of a strange schedule; we do operations 2-3x a week and work roughly from 2pm to 8 or 9pm. Those days get long but my labmates are great and sometimes we go out for a beer.
The lab is state-of-the-art and hi-tech, like you'd expect for humans. Originally I didn't know what to expect, what my role would be, but we are actually doing the operations – it's as you see it in the serials, like, 'Scalpel!' (laughs) I am getting so much hands-on experience in surgery. The professor really pushes me to learn about anatomy and physiology.
What has been your biggest challenge?
I knew next to nothing about the medical side of this because I had just graduated with my bachelor's degree. It was a lot of reading in the beginning to get my footing and be able to have an intelligent conversation about the goals of our research, which was a challenge I welcomed. I'm getting used to the university and lab culture. I take care of piglets, feed them, take blood samples. I also have side projects; for example, alongside a colleague I grow and culture the specific type of stem cell we want so we don't have to contract with an outside lab in the future. I've also submitted a paper for publication on a literature review and I'm waiting to hear back.
What have you gained from your Fulbright experience?
I've done a lot of personal development. I've improved my coordination skills and medical knowledge. Not all of our research will be processed by the end so I will stay in contact with my mentor and labmates and continue after Fulbright ends. We eventually plan to come out with a paper in 2019.
What has been the most rewarding part of your experience?
I have gained a very different perspective of medicine. I also envision my potential career path differently than I had before. I know that in the future I'd like to be a full-time practicing doctor as well as do research, as a lot of my labmates are now while working towards their MD Ph.Ds, rather than only one or the other.

Balancing Giving and Receiving – Building the Foundation For Your Fluency
Everything in nature has a rhythm, an expansion and contraction, an ebb and flow. When we are not moving with these subtle forces, we are stuck. When that back and forth rhythm becomes strained, difficult or even non-existent, pain develops. You aren't able to move in your life. You notice that opportunities are not available to you. Even when they are, they are short-lived.
Does this subtle interruption in rhythm sound like what happens with stuttering? The rhythm of dysfluent speech varies between flow and blocks, smooth speech and interrupted speech.
Because this natural rhythm is present on a macro scale as well as on a micro scale, when the rhythm is interrupted in any way, all parts, macro and micro, are disturbed.
We know that everything is connected…all parts of your body and mind. And these parts are infused with the energy in your environment.
So any change will impact you, internally and externally.
You know that your stutter effects you internally – emotionally, physically and mentally. You are also very familiar with how your stutter impacts you in your environment.
The 'Receiving' Side:
As women, we often give a lot, too much, until there isn't much left for ourselves. On the other hand, we may have difficulty receiving… anything… a compliment, a gift, some help. Somehow, it just doesn't feel right when we think about 'taking'.
Now when we are balanced between giving and receiving, both actions are synchronized and moving in harmony. Naturally, they work best together.
That 'give and take' movement resonates with your whole body and mind. You are more calm and relaxed. And this balanced rhythm is foundational to your easy speaking.
Receiving, for women is often very uncomfortable. Let's look at some common situations that make connecting to 'receiving' easy.
Why Getting Better at 'Receiving' Increases Your Fluency
Increase Your Awareness For Receiving and Reduce Stress
You'll Be Surprised at How Easy It Is to 'Receive' By:
- relaxing and listening to experiences, ideas and stories of others and not feeling pressured to respond. Being in the mode of just receiving is such a comfortable place to be;
- accepting needed help, even just a bit of help. It is so liberating to feel the combined effort of more than one;
- asking for information. This may feel like you are not in control, but you aren't expected to know everything. You may be surprised at the information you get, giving you a new and fresh perspective;
- giving another person the opportunity to 'give' while letting you 'receive'. You're offering them the chance to experience the joy of 'giving';
- responding to a compliment, with a simple 'Thank You' … nothing more.
See how easy it is to 'receive'…
Now looking at the big picture… that flow of 'give' and 'take'…
Imagine how this natural and synchronized rhythm, or balance, supports your fluency.
Let's put that flow and balance back into your speech.
Balancing Your Give and Take Cycle For Easy Speaking
With the complex nature of speech production, it makes sense to balance the overall energies of the body and mind first. Reconnect and strengthen the balance of 'giving and receiving'. Then let that balance contribute to fluent speech production in the way that it is meant to… naturally.
Here Are Some Simple Ways to Practice 'Receiving'.
- Phone a friend and ask for their help with something they have offered to help you with before, but you declined. Discover how stress relieving this is.
- Actively notice and respond when someone goes out of their way for you, wanting to help you. For example, opening a door, getting you a glass of water. They'll be happy that you were aware of what they did. You'll consciously be practicing 'receiving'.
- Become comfortable showing others what is happening for you on the inside. It is often very different than what you are showing on the outside. You'll find strength beneath what appears as weakness by exposing the inside.
Practicing and being comfortable 'receiving' contributes to the natural cycle of 'give and receive' When the cycle is composed of mostly 'giving 'and very little 'receiving' it is unbalanced, contributing to stress, blocks and struggle.
Being comfortable with 'receiving' impacts all of you, including your speech production.

Erectile Dysfunction, otherwise known as known more commonly as impotence, is a condition in which a man cannot achieve or maintain their erection during sex. Symptoms may include reduced sexual desire or libido. Your doctor may diagnose you with this condition if it lasts for more than a few weeks or even months. Don't take this as a minor problem because ED affects as many as 30 million men in the United States alone.
However, Erogan has just the remedy for this dilemma. And instead of prescription medication like erogan capsules, chewable sildenafil, or surgery, they opt for a more natural approach.
Here are some of the best natural remedies to cure ED:
1. Leafy Greens and Beets
Leafy green vegetables, including spinach and celery, can help increase circulation due to their high concentration of nitrates. Beet juice is also high in nitrates. Nitrates are vasodilators in which they open up blood vessels and increase blood flow. Years before the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the first ED drug in 1998, several reports on the beneficial effects of nitrates for erectile dysfunction had already been published back then. These days, ED drugs that are used are based on the relaxing effects of nitrates on the blood vessels that supply the penis.
2. Exercise
Exercise improves the blood flow in our body, which is essential for a strong erection, and also improves blood pressure by increasing nitric oxide in blood vessels. Weight-bearing exercise can help increase the natural production of testosterone, which is a crucial factor in erectile strength and sex drive.
3. Panax Ginseng
Also known as the natural Viagra, Panax ginseng (red ginseng) is a herb that is documented to have anti-inflammatory properties, improves lung function as well as blood flow in other diseases – all of which help reduce the effects of ED. This is backed by researchers who reviewed seven studies of red ginseng and ED in 2008. The results found that there is suggestive evidence for the effectiveness of red ginseng in the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
4. Dark Chocolate
A 2004-study from the University of California San Francisco that flavonoids found in dark chocolate blood vessel function. This could be good for erection problems that are because of poor circulation. Flavonoids are naturally-occurring antioxidants that guard plants against toxins and also help repair cell damage. These effects are reported to be similar to people according to some studies. They help reduce blood pressure and decrease cholesterol, both of which contribute to erectile dysfunction.
5. A Healthy Diet
Erectile dysfunction also impacted by the types of food that you eat. A diet that is especially rich in veggies, fruits, fish and whole grains, along with a few servings of refined grains and red meat can decrease the risk for ED.
Apart from that, a healthy diet also helps maintain a healthy body weight, which is crucial because of men with a 42-inch waist and 50% more likely to have ED than men with a 32-inch waist. Obesity also increases the risk of diabetes and vascular disease, which are factors that contribute to ED.
6. Rhodiola Rosea
There is one small study which indicates that Rhodiola Rosea may be helpful in preventing ED. Over there, 26 out of 35 men were given 150 to 200 mg a day of Rhodiola Rosea daily for three months. The subjects experienced substantially improved sexual function as well as improve energy and reduce fatigue.
7. Sleep
According to Zachary R. Mucher, MD, a urologist in Sugar Land, Texas, poor sleep patterns can contribute to ED. One study published in the journal Brain Research focused on the intricate relationship between the level of sex hormones such as testosterone, sexual function, and sleep, and found that testosterone levels increase with improved sleep and lower levels that are associated with sexual dysfunction.

Drage and Tozer Opticians of Sudbury is encouraging women to throw out old eye make up, or face the risk of developing unsightly eye infections.
Helen Drage, joint partner at Drage and Tozer, said: "Out with the old and in with the new should be the motto women apply to their make up for the New Year".
Old cosmetics, especially water based products like mascara and liquid eye liner, harbour bacteria, which thrives in wet conditions. If make up is used past the recommended use by date, women increase their risk of contracting eye infections including styes and conjunctivitis.
As a rule, mascara and liquid eye liner should be discarded three to six months after opening, with all other eye make up being replaced on a regular basis.
The Eye Love My Local Independent Optician campaign, recommends five tips to maintain eye health during the year:
- Stick to the motto "out with the old and in with the new", throwing out and replacing all outdated eye make up.
- Clean all cosmetic brushes on a regular basis as part of a hygienic eye health routine.
- Avoid sharing eye make up with friends and colleagues, as germs can be easily spread.
- Before climbing into bed at the end of the day, remove all eye make up and cleanse the eyelids and skin surrounding the eyes.
- Eye make up is not meant to be worn 24 hours a day everyday.
- Give your eyes a break and try the natural look, allowing skin around the eyes time to breathe and regenerate.

On Thursday, a group of my coworkers and I took to the kitchen for the Home for Dinner program. The program provides home cooked meals for Sick Kids and their families staying at Ronald McDonald House Toronto. Our group was responsible for food preparation, serving and clean-up. We were even lucky enough to receive a tour of the House and its facilities.
While I have volunteered for many events over the years, this one surprised and fulfilled me most by far. Ronald McDonald House is a positive place full of exciting and educational programming which brings families together and helps kids forget about their illnesses.
It's quite something when you volunteer your time in hopes of simply giving to the community, yet you feel as though you get something in return. Gratefulness and perspective are the blessed gifts I received from the families at volunteers at Ronald McDonald House and I can't thank them enough for welcoming our group into their home.

This past year have brought us some exciting celestial wonders,and great science knowledge have been achieved. I am talking about comets. Their have many opportunities for all of us to explore,and grow. Some comets have been just quiet wanderers.,never getting their chance in the media lime light. They come into the inner solar system, seemingly "guns blazing" ,and then quietly return to the outer reaches,never to be seen again in our life time. Others, get noticed right away,and a media frenzy begins. People speculating (mainly media) ,about how bright or how big of a show it will be. Comet ISON was a prime example of the over hype from the media. ISON put on a good show for it's final journey. The sad part of the over hype ( IMHO ) is,most people get excited to see a amazing sky show,but when the event ends, people just go back to their daily (or nightly) routines,like a arm chair quarterback. Never giving thought that,just because one event has ended. doesn't mean the arena has been shut down. Their are still wonderful objects in the night sky that are putting on their own show.
Yes, their are some comets in the Northern sky that are visible. Two comets are on display in the Northern sky,and located near the constellation Ursa Major a.k.a… the Big Dipper. Both comets are within reach of small telescopes. Although, one of them, Comet Linear is a dim mag + 11.61,and might be difficult to see in a small scope,depending on sky transparency. The other one, Comet Panstarrs is much brighter at mag + 8.4 . Comet C/2012 K1 (Panstarrs) can be seen as a faint,but distinguishable gray smudge. This smudge gets brighter as your eyes adjust to the darkness. I had known about these comets for some time,but time,and cloud cover had put them on the back burner. Leaving me with only small windows of opportunity to observe the other wonders of our solar system and beyond.
With the forecast of clear skies last night. I decided now was the time to check out one of the comets. I chose comet Panstarrs as my target,as I felt it would be a good time to check my mounts goto accuracy. By the way….. it performed flawlessly!!. I entered my observatory at around 9PM last night. The sky was a tad bit light to the west due to sun setting 45 minutes earlier,and the stars were just beginning to show themselves. It took a while to actually see the "gray smudge",but when I did see it. I knew I had a comet in the eye piece. It took a short while later before I decided to connect the CCD to the scope. This turned out to be a fiasco…LMAO!. The stars were nice and round ,but as each image was acquired,and stacked. The comets nucleus on the stacked image became stretched,showing multiple heads. I haven't down loaded the final images yet,but will when I have a few extra minutes to spare.
After a couple hours of trying,I went to my backup camera. The DSLR for some prime focus imaging. This worked out quite well I must say!!. I snapped a couple test images to check my focus,and nailed it the first time!. The temp in the observatory was getting getting cold,so I opted for only a couple shots before shutting down. I managed a 4 and a half minute unguided exposure without star trails.Since the screen on my dslr is small. I didn't get a full look at my work until I loaded the images onto my laptop. I must say "WOW"!. The comet was green as I expected. What I didn't expect was to get the galaxy NGC 3877 in the same shot!. NGC 3877 appears dim,but in my defense. It is after all, 50 million light years away!!!.
Comet C/2012 K1 (Panstarrs) is expected to brighten in the next few months,making it almost a naked eye comet. I really doubt that, as it is quite small,but one can hope!.

Medical board's proposed stem-cell policy under fire
Texas' proposed adult stem-cell regulations, up for approval this week, are under fire for circumventing the Food and Drug Administration and making the experimental therapy commercially available before it's been proven safe and effective.
The criticism of the Texas Medical Board draft policy, developed in the aftermath of Gov. Rick Perry receiving stem-cell treatment for his back problems, is coming from a host of pre-eminent scientists and institutions, including the influential scientific journal Nature and the International Society for Stem Cell Research.
"Texas officials should take the FDA's regulatory power over stem cells more seriously," editorialized Nature. "If the medical board were to act according to its stated pledge to protect patients, then it would make clear the need for clinical validation of adult stem cells before use and rescind the medical licenses of any doctors in breach of rules about using unapproved treatments."
Dr. Irving Weissman of the ISSCR called the draft "a clever way around the FDA's appropriate role overseeing clinical trials." Weissman, director of Stanford University's Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine, said the policy violates the ISSCR's guidelines for clinical use of adult stem cells.
The policy, thought to be the first of its kind, would allow Texas doctors to provide the unlicensed therapy as long as they have approval from a review panel that assesses the cells' use for patient safety, as is customary in clinical trials. But unlike most clinical trials, in which experimental therapy is provided free, the policy would allow Texas doctors to charge for it, typically tens of thousands of dollars.
Mari Robinson, executive director of the Texas Medical Board, denied that the proposed policy represents an alternative path than the FDA. She said that in the absence of definitive direction from the FDA, the board simply wants to ensure that "new and expanding areas of medicine" are safe for patients.
"The FDA has provided no definitive statement about the medical use of adult stem cells, including whether it even has jurisdiction if the cells are taken from patients and given back within the state," said Robinson. "The board wants to let the field come forward and grow but in a safe manner."
Robinson, a lawyer, said the courts ultimately may provide the answer about the FDA's jurisdiction. The federal agency last year filed an injunction to stop a Colorado clinic from treating patients with their own stem cells, arguing its failure to comply with FDA regulations "puts the public's health at risk."
Adult stem cells are cells in the body that multiply to replenish dying cells. Though they lack the ability of embryonic stem cells to morph into any kind of tissue, they have shown much promise in recent research treating a variety of conditions. Still, the therapy is mostly in early-stage clinical trials and considered five to 10 years away from FDA approval.
Clinics popping up
Nevertheless, clinics that claim adult stem-cell therapy can treat conditions from Parkinson's to multiple sclerosis are proliferating, mostly in other countries but increasingly in the United States. The head of a Houston stem cell bank involved in Perry's procedure says it has stored more than 100 customers' stem cells, as many as 50 of whom have had them reinjected.
The Texas Medical Board has grappled with the issue since before a Houston surgeon treated Perry last July. Its policy was tentatively approved in February, after months of "stakeholder" discussions, public comment and revision.
But numerous experts in bioethics, stem-cell science and health law last week strongly criticized the finished version. Most expressed concern about why Texas feels the need to set up a process they described as redundant to the one already run by the FDA.
"It also confuses clinical research, which is conducted to find out generalized information about new therapies' safety and efficacy, with the practice of medicine, which is about using safe, proven methods to treat ailments," said Douglas Sipp, head of Science Policy and Ethics Studies at Japan's RIKEN Center for Developmental Biology. "Essentially, Texas is saying research can be done as treatment, that patients can be charged to participate in research."
Trials threatened?
Robinson disputed the suggestion that every therapy a doctor provides requires FDA approval. She said there already are plenty of alternative and complementary medicines regulated by the state, not the FDA.
Sipp said the policy would make it difficult to conduct randomized trials, the gold standard of research in which some patients receive the therapy and some receive a placebo. Patients paying tens of thousands of dollars for therapy likely wouldn't accept a 50-50 chance of getting a placebo, he noted.
Experts also questioned the policy's allowance of for-profit review boards to oversee doctors' use of stem-cell therapies, claiming such boards risk losing business if they don't approve clinical research proposals.
The Texas Medical Board is scheduled to consider the proposed policy Friday.

Umberto Puzo, Brazil's secretary of finely formed tushes is recommending an immediate end to all exported exotic dances and prostitutes to the United States unless American Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte is extradited for questioning.
President Obama, normally unfettered by foreign persuasion had this to say. "The United States does not take lightly any threats to our citizens, our economy, our way of life, but to think of Washington D.C. without a fresh batch of exotic Brazilian poontang for lobbyists to lube the machine, well it's just not imaginable"
The president has ordered a massive manhunt for Lochte who has gone into hiding presumably at the bottom of a large pool somewhere.
Seven term Congressman from South Carolina Harley "All Night" Sumner suggested "If we don't find this guy soon…well I have no reason to continue to serve my nation." This sentiment seemed to reverberate through the Capitol where Congressmen and Senators were beginning to panic, cleaning out their desks and saying goodbye.
However there seems to be a glimmer of hope on the horizon as the president offered Greg Louganis to the Brazilians as a replacement. Mr. Puzo has offered that "this is something we should consider"
Meanwhile in a show of friendship, Mexico has offered to step up its exportation of exotic dancers and prostitutes at which the president replied "Are you serious?"
