"I can't run from where I came from, nobody can," says Katy Perry. When it came time to make her exhilarating second album "Teenage Dream," Katy found herself increasingly drawn back home to Santa Barbara, Calif. Back to where they knew her before she became a superstar. Before she kissed a girl and liked it. And, certainly, before she sold 5 million copies of her Capitol Records blockbuster, "One of the Boys."

"I love the vibe that Santa Barbara gives off and I wanted to really tap into the purity of my childhood and that feeling," says the two-time Grammy nominated singer. "It was really fun to get away and walk into the studio with no make-up on."

"Teenage Dream," out Aug. 24, will move you, both emotionally and physically. "When I was touring, I wanted people to dance more," Katy says. "So I wrote an album that made people move, yet didn't sacrifice the story substance that I had on the last record."

The album, whose producers include Max Martin, Tricky Stewart, Stargate, Dr. Luke and Greg Wells, is a glorious evolution from "One of The Boys," It showcases an artist who dares us to join her as she experiences every facet of life.

"I'm giving everyone the full spectrum on this record," Katy says. "You're getting the sugary sweet, but you're also getting the âOh my goodness, she had to sit down for a minute and let some things off her chest'."

Fun first single, "California Gurls," declared by Entertainment Weekly as "unforgettable," is the undeniable summer anthem of 2010. Featuring Snoop Dogg, "Gurls" is a sizzling salute to sun-kissed days spent in Daisy Dukes and a bikini top. Other album highlights include the heartbreakingly wistful "The One that Got Away," the naughty, playful strut of "Peacock," the uplifting "Firework," the pulsing, stinging "Circle the Drain," and the spiritual quest of "Who Am I Living For."

And then, of course, there's the passionate, thumping title track. "I called the album âTeenage Dream' because I feel like I will always want to be that pin-up poster," Katy says. "I definitely want to be in everybody's dreams at all times until I get to Liz Taylor's age when I'm not in your dreams anymore, and I'm just a diva!"

It's irreverent statements like this that have branded Katy a true American original. She's the extremely talented girl next door with slyly captivating charm. After Katy topped Maxim's Hot 100 this Spring, Maxim editor-in-chief Joe Levy mused of her appeal: "It's that feeling you get when you suddenly realize that the smartest, funniest, coolest girl you know also happens to the best looking and a pretty good skateboarder, too. All of sudden, your crush goes supernova, and this is Katy's supernova moment."
She's the face most likely to adorn the bedroom walls of young girls who adore Katy not only for her musical brio, but for her playful yet sophisticated fashion sense (Who else could wear a blinking dress that lights up to the Metropolitan Museum Costume Institute's Gala?) "I don't ever really want to come off as trashy," she says. âBut I want people to know I'm definitely having fun."
Of that, there's no doubt. Seldom has an artist catapulted onto the world scene and captured not only people's ears, but their hearts as well. Since the 2008 release of "One of the Boys," Katy has taken a jet-fueled rocket pack to the top, wowing fans with her often whimsical, irresistible pop songs. Katy topped charts in more than 25 countries with cultural phenomenon "I Kissed a Girl," "Hot N Cold," "Thinking Of You" and "Waking Up in Vegas," and has sold more than 22 million digital tracks and mobile products worldwide.
Katy erases any barrier between pop star and audience by writing all her own material. "You're getting a pure connection to the artist," Katy says. "You're not getting some idea of what that artist should be, you're getting a direct voice." Nowhere is Katy's voice and vision clearer than in concert. She is a relentless road warrior, albeit one who comes complete with gigantic, blow up plastic strawberries to toss into the audience. As a newcomer, she stormed the Warped Tour stage for 47 dates in 2008, immediately winning over hardened rock fans with her ceaselessly energetic live show. Since then, she has steadily built audiences across the planet by touching down in more than two dozen countries and filling increasingly larger venues each time she returned to a city. 2009's headlining "One of the Boys" tour was a phenomenal success, selling out around the world.
She's also a popular television draw, appearing on countless talk shows, presenting and performing on the Grammys living out her lifelong dream of being lowered from the ceiling in a 600 lb. banana, serving as a guest judge on "American Idol," a celebrity contestant on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and hosting MTV's Europe Music Awards twice. More often than not she's adding to her trophy case at each stop, winning Best New Act at the Europe Music Awards, Best Pop Video at the MTV Japan Awards and International Female Solo Artist at the Brit Awards.
As much as her life seems to play itself out in the pressâshe's appeared on the cover of more than 15 magazines–she reminds us the real Katy is in every note and every word of her music. "If you ever want an answer about how I felt about something or what I was going through or what I believe or my convictions or my love," she says, "You just have to listen to the lyrics." We can't wait to hear every word she has to say.

Kings of Leon achieved initial success in the United Kingdom with nine Top 40 singles, two BRIT Awards in 2008, and all three of the band's albums at the time peaking in the top five of the UK Albums Chart. Their third album Because of the Times also reached the number one spot. After the release of Only by the Night in 2008 they finally achieved chart success in their native United States. The singles Sex On Fire, Use Somebody and Notion peaked at number one on the Hot Modern Rock Tracks, while the album itself was their first ever platinum-selling album in the US.

This is the second and final film which I produced in Tunisia this (Northern) Spring. It took a while to cut the first of two films, then to cut and promote this one. Journeyman Pictures took it a month or two ago with some success in Scandinavia (thank you, public broadcasting), and I was holding off on promoting it myself until smh.tv/Fairfax Media set up the pay per click streaming of it. They appear to be having some issues over at Fairfax so I'm posting it myself now. Please enjoy, and share.

Tear gas, beatings on Tunis's streetsPosted: April 9, 2012 in Uncategorized
Tags: arab spring, Politics, tunisia
I've just returned to the safety of my apartment in the the Bardo after a violent day of clashes in central Tunis, as police tried to maintain a ban on protests along the city's main thoroughfare, Avenue Bourguiba.
Hundreds of protesters taunted police and were met with multiple rounds of tear gas and beatings.
I saw police -some of whom had ski masks – head butting protesters and leading away mobile-phone wielding amateur journalists to an uncertain fate. Reports said some protesters were throwing rocks at police – something I didn't witness.
This kid was led away after copping a headbutt and a baton in the ribs.
Tunisians are testing the limits of their new democracy. The government has imposed a ban on protests along the city's main street, citing the need to protect commercial interests. But secular demonstrators complain that it is only they who receive the brunt of the policeman's baton. A recent Salafist demonstration – before I arrived – was not dealt with half as violently, I'm told.
Today was martyrs' day – in memory of those who fought French colonial rule – but it was families of the new martyrs – those of the 2011 revolution, who told me that the ruling Ennahda Islamist party has not fulfilled its promises, economic or otherwise. A group from Sidi Bouzid, where the Tunisian uprising began, marched to Tunis on foot and was represented in the crowds today.
Certainly there was a hint of old habits dying hard when it came to police behaviour, as groups of people were chased down backstreets by police in vans and on motorbikes. I forgot a scarf for the gas, and paid for it with tears.
Video still of people being chased down the streets leading off Avenue Habib Bourguiba.
Tunisia Live – an enthusiastic group of young journalists whose office I had the pleasure of visiting today in order to take a breather – has just reported that no hospitals in the city have reported any deaths form the violence, although tens of injured have been taken in.
When all is said and done, it is an extremely exhilarating time to be in Tunis – especially as a video journalist – as a country finds its feet, tests its democracy – and everyone has something to say.

Sparks fly in Germany after Skype-snooping scandalPosted: October 14, 2011 in European politics, Uncategorized
Tags: arabic, germany, Politics
Surveillance is a hot issue in Germany. In East Berlin, the huge headquarters of the German Democratic Republic's secret police – the Stasi – are a constant reminder of a regime for which snooping on the public was an everyday occurrence.

More than two decades after the fall of the Berlin Wall, revelations that German state governments have been using trojan malware to monitor the calls of Skype users has sparked alarm amongst the public, press and political elite.

ITV's Cameron interviewPosted: May 15, 2010 in European politics, Journalism, media regulation, Uncategorized

It's been a fascinating few weeks of politics in the UK, and obviously a great few weeks for political journalism. Well, lots of people pretending to know what's going on, but doing it with panache.
But there was so much going on, I only recently read about the David Cameron interview with ITV's Trevor McDonald.
Cameron had been delaying fronting up to Jeremy Paxman and the BBC's Newsnight, but had happily trotted on to soft Trev's slot.
I have to admit I haven't watched the interview. But the interesting thing is the remarkable precedent that was set: ITV let Andy Coulson, Conservative communications director, watch the interview before it went to air.
ITV reportedly said that no 'significant' changes were made to the film. Well damn right. But there's no good reason for Coulson, former editor of the News of the World, to be watching the film. Other broadcasters – rivals, of course – said as much.
There's a brilliant scene from The Thick of it, where spin doctor Malcolm Tucker, unwelcome in the edit suite of a broadcast journalist, fails to convince the journo and editor to alter the shots used, and thus the tone of the story featuring his party employers.
But with moves like ITV's, we should probably be careful that trust in broadcasters – especially mainstream broadcasters interviewing potential PMs – don't get to a place where they abuse the trust put in them, no matter how big the ratings.

I don't expect many people will have heard of Eliza Carthy's dad. He is a very obscure, neglected and marginalised figure in English folk music. Nevertheless he did make a few records, and suprisingly some have made it to Cd.
It's an atavistic sounding music, which can suprisingly rock and move you like nothing else if you're receptive. I recommend 'Prince Heathen' (Martin Carthy) an album with some fiddler I've never heard of, but sounds like he must have been one of the greats - his playing is sensational - apparently rumours of his demise have been greatly exaggerated.

AceShowbiz - It's been more than a decade since the infamous photo of Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan squeezing into Paris Hilton's Mercedes made headlines in 2006. Thus, the hotel heiress couldn't help recreating the iconic moment and shared on social media on Thursday, February 28. But instead of bringing the two stars with her, she recruited the help of Derrick Barry and comedian Jason Scott.
In the pictures, Derrick was obviously dressing up as the "...Baby One More Time" singer. Meanwhile, Jason decided to dress up as Queen Elizabeth II instead of the "Mean Girls" star. While the former contestant of "RuPaul's Drag Race" admiringly looked at Paris, Jason's Queen Elizabeth looked annoyed. Paris, on the other hand, was all smiles.
"Oops... We did it again," the socialite quipped in the caption.
Oops... We Did It Again. pic.twitter.com/oReGBXX5VE— Paris Hilton (@ParisHilton) 1 Maret 2019
As fans might have recalled, in the original photo, Paris was seen driving her friends in her Mercedes-Benz SLR after a fun-filled night at the hotel. While they appeared to be having a great time at the time, it actually wasn't the case. In 2017, the "Stars Are Blind" singer revealed that Lindsay actually wasn't invited.
She detailed the incident in an interview with Andy Cohen last year, explaining that she only allowed the "Herbie: Fully Loaded" actress inside the car because she didn't want to embarrass her. "Well, Britney and I went out for the night ...[Linday] totally party crashed," she said. "We were all the Beverly Hills Hotel at the bungalows and we were at an after-party then Britney and I wanted to leave to go home."
"And then [Lindsay] started, like, chasing us, and then squeezed in the car it was literally a two-seater. She just like, squeezed in," Paris continued. "I didn't want to humiliate her in front of all the paparazzi and be like, 'Get out of my car.' "

Scientists at Leeds University tested the air above toilets and found that the germ, C. difficile, which causes violent bacteria and vomiting can be sprayed up to 10 inches above toilet seats with every open flush. These germs were found on the sides of the toilet, on the top, and on the floor.
Their answer to this problem is quite simple but not entirely confidence inspiring–close the lid before you flush.
That's great advice for the average person, what about our hospitals and other healthcare facilities. There's got to be a better way to prevent the spread of bacteria like Staphylococcus, C. difficile and E. coli in these high risk environments other than just suggesting patients keep a lid on it.
Part of the solution to reduce the amount of infection could be the installation of vacuum toilets.
Vacuum Toilets Produce No Evidence of Bacterial Contamination from Flush Overspray in Testing Conducted by NSF International completed in October 2012.
NSF International conducted additional custom testing to compare the flush plume or overspray produced by AcornVac's vacuum toilets with two common types of gravity flush toilets – a 1.28 tank style toilet and a common commercial wall hung toilet with 1.6 GPF flush valve.
Test Results: AcornVac's vacuum toilets showed no detectable overspray or levels of bacteria on the toilet seat or in the area surrounding the toilet, while the gravity flush toilets had detectable levels of overspray and bacteria on the toilet seat and in the area surrounding the toilets.
The cistern flush toilet produced contaminated droplets in zones R and 2. The flush valve toilet had the highest concentration of contaminated droplets in zone R but also produced contaminated droplets in zones 2 and 3.
(Download the complete test results.)
What should you do? Aside from considering where you store your toothbrush and razor in your home bathroom, we suggest getting more information on vacuum flush toilets.
To learn more about Vacuum flush systems and other Acorn products, visit www.acornvac.com then click on Products. To contact your location reps, click on "Contact Us."
And if the reduction in germs flying through the air isn't incentive enough, consider a vacuum flush toilet only uses about a half gallon of water per flush.

Our energy and experience will create your timeless Mitzvah story blending fashion, journalism, modern portraiture… and a dash of rock and roll.
Fashion Shoot Pre-Event Bat Mitzvah
The fashion pre-shoot is a huge part of the Bat Mitzvah coming of age experience. These images become ICONIC art for your event and kids love it for Instagram. We travel to the hippest locations and hollywood-light each set. Our fashion and sports pre-event shoots are the gold-standard.
Each time I walk into a synagogue, I feel deeply spiritual and try to create photographs that reflect that special moment in time. We aim to create dramatic one of a kind scenes inside your synagoguge when one reads from the Torah. These are the images that will be appreciated for generations.
Sports Shoot Pre-Event Bar Mitzvah
We take this part of the story to the next level and aim to capture heirloom-era photographs which ultimately become fine art for your homes. Kids want to look cool and show off their special sport, talent, or vibe. As a dad whose taken his kids to Coachella, I know how to get them to feel and look cool.

Look forward to meeting some more through my new hobby.
|Bernd Lorber C-SJBL
|My interest in flight began when I was 10 years old. I went to an Airshow in Graz Austria and have been interested in flying ever since. I found it difficult to afford flying lessons and the dream got put on hold until years later living in Canada I was invited to fly with a friend from Maine who had a Citavia converted stunt Plane. Once up in the air he let me fly from Brewer to St Stephen not landing the plane. What a thrill and again it sparked my urge to fly again. Two years ago my wife bought me a flight simulator package and I am hooked for life. I am flying nearly everyday and learn new things and mostly what is important to me are my flying Buddies having lots of fun and teaching one another. Plus, as my Wife tells her friends "I know where he is now that he is retired".

Most of us grew up using toothpaste for sure, unless your parents had been opting for some homemade alternative. For those who are looking for a natural recipe, this is the post you need to read.
Is homemade toothpaste better and why?
First of all, commercial toothpastes contain harmful chemicals that won't only damage teeth and cause dental problems in the long run. They can also provide bad effects to your health. Surprisingly, fluoride is a toxin that must not be swallowed. Sulfates are also an ingredient in toothpaste that is not good. Both must be avoided as much as possible.
Image Source: littlechurchmouse
So to have a more natural and safe toothpaste, learn this recipe.
1/2 of coconut oil
2 or 3 tablespoons of baking soda
2 small packets of stevia powder
20 drops of cinnamon or peppermint oil
10 drops of myrrh extract (optional)
1. Pour coconut oil in a pan and let it melt.
2. Stir in baking soda, stevia powder, cinnamon or peppermint oil and myrrh extract.
3. Keep stirring until the mixture become pasty.
4. Place this mixture in a container or jar and seal.
5. Let it cool before start using it to brush your teeth.
Only a little amount of this homemade toothpaste is required. It is safe to use for daily brushing as it doesn't contain any harmful chemicals but natural ingredients instead. Make sure that you brush your teeth at least twice a day in order to remove food particles stuck in between teeth and prevent oral problems. With this toothpaste, you will be able to save some money too!
Now, are you excited to make this all-natural and chemical-free toothpaste? It should be fun since the process is quick and easy.

A morning routine can set the tone for the rest of the day. Think about your days this past week. Perhaps you were sharp and on top of things on Monday. Shoot, you even had time to cook up a big breakfast. Then Wednesday came and you had to sneak into your office via the backdoor. It happens.
A great morning can feel quite magical and all, but a perfectly productive day has nothing to do with magic. There's a science to it, which I'm going to share with you in this article.
But let me first start off by saying, I firmly believe that my morning magic routine has saved my sanity and is the top reason I've been able to grow my business year after year. I stand by that.
Perhaps because I'm a morning person: I am more productive in the morning when the whole world is asleep. When I discovered that, I started waking up earlier than usual to have more time to focus on my goals.
You can do the same — even if you're not a morning person. You actually need to create a magic morning routine if you're struggling with time management or have crazy mornings that ruin your energy for the day. Trust me, the top execs and business owners of our time all have magic morning routines.
So if you're struggling with chaotic and low energy mornings, this podcast and article is for you!
Let's get to it!
What's a Morning Magic Routine?
A morning magic routine is a routine that enables you to do your best work within a specific time slot (typically in the morning). It's a routine that can only take place at a time when you are most focused and most creative. Magic happens during that time, hence the name, "morning magic routine".
It is during that magic time that you can tackle tasks (think sales, marketing) that are linked to driving your business forward in the most efficient and effective manner.
Interested in creating a magic morning routine? If so, you have to first identity when your magic time is.
Figure Out When Your Magic Time Is
Your magic time, or flow time, is the time when it is easiest for you to focus, be most creative and most productive.
When you're in the flow, nothing feels forced: you're not jumping from task to task due to lack of focus. It's that time when it's really easy to dive into work.
You can accurately figure out when your flow time is by paying attention to when you're most creative and productive. For example, I can write an awesome piece of content (about a 1,500-word piece) in the morning. Whereas, I find it really hard to write anything in the afternoons.
Hence, my magic or flow time is first thing in the morning, around 5AM.
It's important to know when this time is so you can create a routine and plan the rest of your schedule around it.
Now, it's important for me to state that while early birds catch the worms, it doesn't mean that night owls can't catch some as well. If you're a night owl, your morning will perhaps start later on during the day but you can still have a productive morning and afternoon.
Once you identify when your magic time is, it's time to create a morning magic routine. Here are four steps to help you create one so you can start building your business in the most efficient manner possible.
4 Steps To Creating a Morning Magic Routine
1. Plan The Night Before
My morning magic routine actually starts the night before with a brief planning session. The planning happens either at the end of my workday or after I put my kids to bed.
If you don't plan your day the night before, you may just end up staring at your to-do list on a computer screen all day. Followed by mini anxiety attacks at 5AM in the morning.
Put a stop to that and plan your morning routine the night before.
American Express CEO, Kenneth Chenault, stands by this step. He writes down three things he wants to accomplish the following day, the night before.
2. Make As Few Decisions As Possible
Making as few decisions as possible in the morning will preserve your flow and creativity as much as possible. The goal with cutting out as many decisions as possible is to keep you from depleting your creativity power bank of all that precious energy.
That's why step 1 is so important. Planning out your work the night before removes any decisions about what you need to do in the morning. You simply wake up and dive in.
On a personal note, I don't bother getting dressed or doing anything hygiene related in the morning. I also don't decide what I'm going to wear, that comes later.
I try to avoid decision fatigue, just like the greatest entrepreneurs and leaders of our time do.
My morning is reserved solely for creativity.
3. Focus on Your Most Urgent Tasks in The Morning
There's always so much to do in any business. So each quarter, we here at The Wellness Business Hub, plan our projects as a company. I then reverse engineer the steps I need to take in order to complete my tasks and deadlines.
The next step for me is to focus on the most important of those tasks during my magic morning time. You can do the same even if you're a one woman or one man show.
Perhaps this could help you (it helps me): Determine what your three critical tasks are (based on the deadlines of the quarterly projects) for the week every Monday.
Try not to overwhelm yourself with too many tasks and don't feel the need to rush through things. You need to be realistic so write down three things that need to get done that week. Preferably things that you can focus on.
For example, I spent two mornings outlining this podcast episode.
Remember that whatever you create on a particular morning should have been written down and outlined the night before.
4. Focus on Content Creation
At this point, I know what my morning will look like: the alarm goes off at 5AM, I pee, make coffee, I add two scoops of collagen to keep my blood sugar levels stable and I sit down at the computer.
Every day is the same — I don't switch from coffee to tea or waste mental energy trying to decide what tea to brew. Pee, coffee, collagen, computer, content creation.
That's how it goes and I usually have about 60 to 90 minutes to get some writing done and sometimes, I get a full 2 hours if my kids sleep in until 7AM (which is rare).
What I don't do during that time is focus on social media. I solely focus on content creation because it's hard for me to write blog posts or emails or sales pages during the day, when I only have 15-30 minute blocks here and there.
Let's go back to the point I made earlier about what magic time is meant for: it is meant for tasks that are directly linked to driving your business forward.
Therefore, the last thing you want to be doing during your magic time is a task that drives you insane. It's certainly not a good way to start your day.
No matter what your business is, use your magic time to create content. Write blog posts, emails for your weekly newsletter, scripts for Facebook Lives and program content. You can even use your magic time to brainstorm new content ideas.
Have you noticed I haven't added client work to that list? That is because, in my opinion, the client doesn't actually drive your business forward.
Here's what I DON'T DO during my magic time:
- Answer emails
- Post on social media
- Admin work
- Client work
- Graphics
- Financials
- Data entry
So those are the four steps to creating a morning magic routine that will work for you. There are however some mornings (about two per month) where I can't get into the flow for whatever reason.
Can't Get Into The Flow?
I have those mornings where I just can't get into the flow, my brain is jumbled up and my creative juices just aren't flowing. But I don't beat myself up about it.
What I do instead is grab some paper and a pen and just do a full brain dump on there. All my feelings and thoughts get written on a piece of paper; and I find that when I do that, I'm able to release the feelings and let go of them.
Other times, when I can't get into the flow, I strategize and map out something I'm stuck on in my business.
Other times, I put the computer away and light some candles. Other times, it's my tarot cards. I'd ask those guiding me to take whatever feelings I'm having away and replace them with clarity and calmness. Other times, I put on some music and dance that unwanted energy away.
Do whatever brings you calmness and clarity so you can reclaim what's left of your magic time that day. Just don't beat yourself up over it. Adjust your schedule, tweak things here and there, and catch up on work you missed out on the following day.
Ready to Create Your Magic Morning Routine?
If you don't have a magic morning routine, I challenge you to create one similar to mine, using the above four steps. At the very least, you will feel less stressed out, be more productive, more organized and have more energy to tackle the day.
Let me know about the steps you're going to take to create a morning routine below, OR share what your current routine is to inspire others.

WASHINGTON (7/14/15)--A reasonable hold-harmless period for the Truth in Lending Act-Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act integrated disclosure (TRID) rule would help all involved, CUNA and other trade organizations said Monday.
The organizations sent a letter in support of S. 1711, a companion to a House bill that would require the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) provide a TRID safe harbor through the end of the year.
"A hold-harmless period allows the bureau to work with industry to gather data about implementation and provide written guidance to address common industry implementation hurdles that emerge between now and the end of the year," the letter reads. "Without more clarity, the result is likely to leave homebuyers with less flexibility to buy and close on a home on their terms and potentially fewer companies to work with."
Eighteen other trade organizations joined CUNA in signing the letter, representing the wide spectrum of stakeholders in the mortgage industry. The groups cite past experiences when it comes to new regulations.
"We know from implementing past regulations that unforeseen issues will arise in actual transactions. Therefore, a formal hold-harmless period through Dec. 31 will allow stakeholders to make a good-faith effort to comply with the TRID regulation without the fear of potential enforcement actions or lawsuits," the letter reads.
S. 1711 was introduced last week by Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) and 10 co-sponsors as a companion bill to H.R. 2213.
TRID was originally planned to be implemented Aug. 1, but the CFPB has proposed to move the date back to Oct. 3. CUNA, along with a number of legislators and trade organizations, are pushing for the safe harbor through the end of the year to protect stakeholders from enforcement or litigation.

Foods You Must Eat To Keep Your Brain Healthy
According to your age, It's ok to face some memory lapse but serious memory decline may point towards your unhealthy mind diet. Your diet is the most important part of your lifestyle. Depending on a good diet, you can keep your mind sharp and reduce the risk of serious memory impairments. Moreover, it will also shape the way your brain functions and improve cognitive thinking skills.
Top Food:
Here is the list of some food that you should take to keep your brain healthy.
- Dark Leafy Greeny: This provides important brain-protecting compounds, such as folate, phylloquinone, and lutein. The group that has the regular intake of this had the memory and thinking skills of people 11 years younger.
- Other Veggies: Apart from leafy greens, the good mind diet also includes the intake of other veggies every single day. Like you can take stack tomatoes and red pepper strips into sandwiches, have a stir fry with broccoli and cauliflower.
- Nuts: It keeps your brain healthy as you age. You must take at least 5 servings/ week to maintain good brain health.
- Pulses: These plant-based proteins are linked with better preservation of memory and thinking skills. For a healthy brain, you must take at least 3 servings per week.
- Berries: It contains antioxidants known as flavonoids that help protect your brain function and reduce the risk of cognitive impairment. You must take at least 2 or more servings per week of this food.
- Seafood: Oily fish, like salmon and sardines, provide anti-inflammatory omega-3 fats that are good for the brain. You must take 1 or more servings per week.
Apart from this, food like Poultry ( beef, pork and lamb, red meat), whole grain food is good for brain health. You must take at least 2-3 serving/ week of this food. Moreover, a glass of wine every day helps to maintain the MIND diet. However, just note that more than that is not better and may increase your risk of memory and other impairments.

Do the Consumption of Soft Drinks Increases the Risk of Osteoporosis in Women?
Osteoarthritis is characterized by progressively weak and brittle bones which mostly affect older adults. It reduces a person's bone density and increases the risk of fractures. This condition is not new among people and already affected more than 150 million people worldwide.
A recent study has identified a connection between the consumption of soft drinks and an increased risk of osteoporosis in women. This affects mostly postmenopausal women. However, the study authors cannot prove causation, so call for more research.
According to the author of the most recent study paper, on an average every 3 seconds an osteoporotic fracture occurs.
Now the question arises "why soda"?
According to older studies, there is some link between consuming soft drinks and low bone mineral density. However, other studies looked for an association between soda and osteoporosis but didn't find any specific relationship.
Because of these discrepancies, scientists took data from the Women's Health Initiative. A national ongoing study suggests that it involves 161,808 postmenopausal women. Out of which for the new analysis, the researchers used data from 72,342 of these participants.
As part of the study, the participants provided detailed health information outlining lifestyle factors. This includes the diet questionnaire included questions about their intake of caffeinated and caffeine-free soft drinks.
Recommended Read:
Finally, they did observe a relationship between soda consumption and osteoporosis-related injury. According to researchers, the link was only statistically significant for caffeine-free sodas, which produced a 32% increase in risk.
The comparison was made between the women who drank at least two drinks soda per day with those who drank none. So, the scientists found no links between soda consumption and bone mineral density.
Teen Depression: Here's How Parents Can Spot it
Well, Depression is so common among teenagers which is actually difficult for parents to recognize. Almost 95% of the parents believe that they know their children and can easily know if their child was depressed.
However, two-thirds of parents also admitted that there were real challenges in recognizing mental illness. Recognizing whether a teen was experiencing normal mood swings or depression is a big challenge for parents. At this age, children become good at hiding their feelings.
Ultimately this results in to increase in suicide rates among young people. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, Suicide is one of the leading causes of death among adolescents 15–19 years old.
Signs Of Depression Every Parent Must Know about:
- If your child is not showing interest in things and activities that once he enjoyed.
- Behavioral changes- change in appetite, energy level, sleep patterns, and academic performance.
- Always acting really sad or irritable.
- Most of the time complaining about being tired or having a stomach ache.
- Using words such as "down" or "stressed" rather than "depressed" or making statements like "I am most of the time at stressful mode".
- Sometimes talk about suicide, even in passing.
This is how you can help your child to recover from depression
A clinical psychologist suggests that the best way to get kids to talk is to just be present. Parents shouldn't be afraid to ask their children if they're feeling suicidal or if they ever felt anything like that.
Kids are more likely to open up if you walk with them, so a stroll would be better rather than a formal face-to-face conversation. If they're not willing to talk now, tell them you'll check back to them and do it.
Moreover, families should identify a "go-to" adult. It may perhaps a teacher, coach or relative with who the teen can talk outside the immediate family.
Triple Drug Combination Therapy: A Life-Changing Drug For Cystic Fibrosis Patients
Finally, there is a treatment for Cystic Fibrosis patients.FDA has approved the three-drug combination therapy for cystic fibrosis patients. The triple combo therapy is named for its various components, is a drug designed to treat cystic fibrosis patients.
Now Families of Cystic Fibrosis patients don't need to worry about them!!
It's actually life-changing news and Doctors and Patients are celebrating it. Three Drug Combination Therapy is the first triple combination therapy. It will be available to treat those with at least one F508del mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. This gene is actually so common among Cystic Fibrosis patients.
This Triple Combo is named "Trikafta", produced by Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc. This targets the defective protein responsible for the disease. While targeting, Trikafta,b the build-up of thick mucus in the lungs and other organs of the patient.
Gunnar Esiason, a Cystic Fibrosis Patient who took the first dose of " Triple Combo"
"I took my first dose, it actually changed my life on April 9, 2018" – tweeted Gunnar. He took his first dose Triple Combo' in phase III clinical trial.
Gunnar wants more cystic fibrosis patients should take this life-changing treatment. He said this treatment give him a life without harsh symptoms of cystic fibrosis. He also confirmed that it's just a treatment and not the cure. The patient would only be able to control the symptoms of Cystic Fibrosis.
Prior to this treatment, there was not much effective way to control this disease. So "Triple Drug Combination Therapy" is actually a life-changing therapy for Cystic Fibrosis patients.

A Practical Approach to Holiday Shopping
Every year it's the same thing; you remain in denial that the holiday season has arrived until it can no longer be ignored. So here you are, hating the task ahead, hoping for an easy path to "done!" Get there with less cynicism and more joy this season by adjusting your shopping mode, method, and mood.
Á La Mode
What style of shopper are you? Decisive but impatient? Shop online as much as possible, and carve out half hours in your calendar to pick up other items on your list locally. Indecisive? Enlist a shopping friend, and consult holiday gift guides for ideas. Hate crowds? Avoid stores on Black Friday (in fact, any weekend after Thanksgiving), and knock out your in-store shopping during more solitary hours of midmorning weekdays or late night hours.
A Method to the Madness
'Tis the season to spend and save. You know you have to spend, but it takes time to track down the sales to stay within your budget. Why not realize a return on smart phone expenses? Download free apps like Google Shopper or RedLaser, price-comparison tools that scan bar codes and tell you if the product is available cheaper by buying online. Goodzer's free app directs you to find desired gifts in local stores. (Apps are great small gifts―they're practical, fresh and fun. Is there a downside? Apps are hard to wrap.)
Gift cards are appreciated by teens and adults, and a welcome relief for the shopper. Boost the thoughtfulness factor with a suggestion―a recently released book you loved, your favorite line of hand and body lotion, a cashmere sweater you know would look great on the intended. This allows the recipient to politely choose something else if your tastes don't exactly align.
Get in the Mood
Holiday shopping can be fun, if you plan for it. See it as an excuse for more date nights with your spouse or time alone―shopping is usually more pleasant without the kiddos, who'll be pushing you out the door shouting "Go! Go!" Plan a shopping day with your friends or attend Girls Night Out events in your local community―these venues usually offer free edibles to make it a festive experience. Dress in comfy shoes, load up your music player to get through heavy traffic, and reward yourself at the end of the day.
When it all gets to feeling too material, remember that gift giving is an act of love, and sharing with those you love is the best part of this time of year.

Poker Server Documentation and FAQThe pokerserver software can be used in two different ways, as a client to connect to the benchmark server for previous competitions and play against the competitors of that year, or as a server to run your bots in matches and tournaments of your own design. This documentation will cover both and be expanded in the future. If you want the quick version of how to get the server running, see Quickstart
RequirementsWindows XP
- Java JDK 1.5 Download from Sun
- cygwin (if you need to use tar files, or to run your own server/tournament, not to use the benchmark server)
- Java JDK 1.5
Ubuntu: apt-get install sun-java5-jdk
Other: Download from Sun and install
Testing your java installationIf java is installed properly, from a command prompt or cygwin terminal the command:
$ javac -version
should output javac 1.5.0_06(or similar) followed by the java compiler usage (your version of java may differ, but at least 1.5 is required). If it reports 1.4 you will need to update your java installation. If you get something like "Command not found" then see the troubleshooting section below for help setting your PATH environment variable so your system can find the java compiler.
Run your bot against randomclient or bots of your design (Windows)
- Install the Java SDK and cygwin
- Download the poker server package from the competition website
- Expand the zip file to a directory
- Run compile.bat from within the directory you unzipped in step 3
- Place your bot in the directory bots/ and add an entry in windowslocal.prf for your bot (see below)
- Execute run.bat ( to capture the output in cygwin run: $./run.bat > output.txt 2> error.txt &)
- Cardfiles can be found in data/cards, results in data/results, logs in data/logs
Run your bot against randomclient or bots of your design (Linux)
- Install the Java SDK 1.5 or greater if not installed
- Download the poker server package from the competition website
- Unzip the file with $ unzip pokerserver2.x.y.zip
- Run compile.sh from within the directory you unzipped in step 3
- Place your bot in the directory bots/ and add an entry in linuxlocal.prf for your bot (see below).
- Execute run.sh
- Cardfiles can be found in data/cards, results in data/results, logs in data/logs
Run your bot against last years competitors (Benchmark Server), Windows
PlEASE NOTE: There is no benchmark server available for the 2008 competition. After the 2009 competition a server will be made available with all of the bots that competed in 2009 and all 2009 entrants will be given access to this server.
- Install the Java SDK and cygwin if you need to use tar files
- Download the poker server package from the competition website
- Expand the zip file to a directory
- Run compile.bat from within the directory you unzipped in step 3
- Place your bot in the directory bots/ and add an entry in graphicalalienclient.prf for your bot
- ./runGraphical.bat
- Create Matches and retrieve your results from the competition web server
Run your bot against last years competitors(Benchmark Server), Linux
- Install the Java SDK 1.5 or greater if not installed
- Download the poker server package from the competition website
- Unzip the file with $ unzip pokerserver2.x.y.zip
- Run compile.sh
- Under linux the example profile for the benchmark server is alienlinuxclient.prf. Edit this file for your system, changing YOURPATH to the path of your bots and expansion directories
- Run ./runGraphical.sh for the graphical applet or if you want to run from a command line:
java -cp dist/pokerserver.jar ca.ualberta.cs.poker.free.alien.CLAlienClient alienlinuxclient.prf
and follow the usage guide
Note: if you are running from the command line you will need to specify the matches in alienlinuxclient.prf
- Create Matches and retrieve your results from the competition web server
$ ./runGraphical.bat will launch a java app that will connect to the server, allow you to login with your username and password, and create matches of the bots on your local machine, and bots from last year's competition. If you would like to use the poker server to run your own tournaments, against you own bots, see the next section. For help using the graphical client to create matches, see Help -> Help in the applications menu.
Running your own matches or tournament
On a single machineIf you wish to run single matches between bots, or a full fledged tournament, you need to define the matches you want to be run in the profile or connect to the server and create matches. The matches defined in a profile will run once the server starts, if you wish to create matches individually you will want to remove the tournament definition from the profile and connect to the server through a client and create the matches.
Profiles for running a tournament or series of matches are included with the software, and by default is setup to run matches between two randomclients.
WindowsThe profile you will want to modify to your needs is: windowslocal.prf
Edit the line beginning with BotTarFile and change the definition to match that of your bot. The line above the definitions has descriptions of what each field represents. (lines beginning with # are ignored)
Unless you want two randomclient bots to play each other, you will want do add a definition for your own bot. Tar files and Jar files are supported. Make sure to properly specify <locationintarfile> to the directory which your startme.bat is in so the server can find your bot once it has expanded the archive.
Eg. if your windows client, compressed with tar into yourclient.tar, contains a directory yourclientV0.9/ then you will need to specify:
BotTarFile yourclient bots\yourclient.jar yourclientV0.9\ WINDOWS LOCALWINDOWS
Once you have the profile modified, the server can be started by running: run.bat from either the command line or through windows explorer. If you are using cygwin within windows you can redirect the output and error streams to files by:
[cygwin]$ ./run.bat > output.txt 2> error.txt &
LinuxThe same applies to linux , the profile is linuxlocal.prf. The paths inside the profile should be absolute.
BotTarFile yourclient /usr/yourname/bots/yourclient.jar yourclientV0.9/ LINUX LOCALLINUX
The shell script: run.sh will run the tournament specified in the profile. Including redirecting output an example command would be:
$ ./run.sh > output.txt 2> err.txt &
Distributed over many machinesSetting up your own tournament will allow you to use the server to run your matches in parallel on as many systems as you specify, or matches on your local machine if you don't have access to idle machines. The server has the capability to use remote machines, linux or windows, to run the matches for the tournament specified in a profile. The profile will list which machines can run certain bots, and a java class called the Forge will keep track of which machines are busy and will start the matches remotely. If you wish to use remote machines, the machine running the server must have password-less ssh keys setup so it can run commands on the remote machines without a password. This is not necessary if you plan on using on the local machine to run matches. The server has a notion of 'tokens', each token represents a match running at a given time, so if you computer can only handle running the server and one match (2 clients bots), then the token should be set to 1. It will then complete the match before starting new matches, and the machine will not be overwhelmed.
If you have access to computers to run clients for you, add a definition of each machine in the machine definition:
# RemoteMachine <IP> <username> <expansionLocation> [WINDOWS|LINUX]
If the remote machine is running windows, you will need to install and setup a sshd server on the machine for the remote commands that launch the client to be accepted. An excellent tutorial on how to do this can be found here. Once that is done you will to have passwordless ssh access to each machine you wish to use. You will also want to make sure no firewall will block access to the server. Most modern firewall programs will allow you to specify a program which can open ports, you may have to specify the java binary as an application allowed to accept incoming connections. You will also need to open port 7000 if you use the port we have selected as the default port.
Example of a local machine:
LocalMachine 127.0.0.1 expansion\expansion1\ WINDOWS
Example of a remote windows machine
RemoteMachine 184.108.40.206 expansion\expansion1\ WINDOWS
Example of a remote linux machine
RemoteMachine 126.96.36.199 expansion\expansion2\ LINUX
To start the poker server you will run run.bat for windows, and run.sh for linux. Note that machines labeled as LOCALLINUX or LOCALWINDOWS will not be run remotely.
BotsFor the server to properly launch your bot, it must be launched from a script called startme.bat if it is a Windows bot, or a script called startme.sh if it is a Linux bot. To see example bots to modify look in trunk/examples in the poker server code.
I tried to login to the benchmark server but I do not have a username and password.
Running compile.bat/compile.sh I get errors
WindowsIf your PATH does not contain the java compiler, you will get errors about the command javac not being found. This page explains how to edit the PATH variable in windows. Follow the direction and add C:\Program Files\jdk1.5.0_VERSION\bin, (jdk1.5.0_X where X is the version of java you have installed, be sure to check) to your PATH,
and the compile should work properly once you relaunch your terminal/console application.

- Exercise – Move your body. Get outside and run or walk. Dance around or take a dance class. Feeling frustrated or angry? Try lifting weights. Seriously, I found that high intensity and heavy lifting to be a great way to work through tough and stressful situations without letting it get the better of me or directing it out onto others. Not only does moving your body helps clear your mind and allows you to focus on something other than your stressor, but it also gets the blood flowing and promotes the feel good endorphins to help you feel more energized and capable of taking on whatever lays ahead of you.
- Deep Breathing – Take several slow, big, deep breathes in and slowly exhale. Try closing your eyes to help bring you into the present moment. Focus on your belly and chest filling up with the oxygen, and then reversing as you exhale. This technique not only slows your breathing, but your heart rate down as well. It reduces the fight or flight reflex and allows you to become more grounded and focused.
- Yoga and/or Meditation – Like deep breathing techniques, both yoga and meditations will help you refocus and become more grounded. It slows the mind down and focuses on the here and now, the present moment. When you take the big picture out, you give your mind and body a break and allow it to be at peace. Focusing on yourself and not what is going on around you is a great way to break up the chaos in your life, and make things feel more manageable and less stressful.
- Massage Therapy - Receiving a massage is one of the least physically demanding ways, and probably the most enjoyable way, you can help reduce your stress levels. Once you find a massage therapist that you like, you book an appointment, you get on the table, and let go for 60-90-or even 120 minutes, while the massage therapist soothes away all the stress, tension, and sore muscles. You get to let go both your mind and body during the massage session, giving you that much needed break from everyday life. Massage also reduces your heart rate, increases blood flow, boosts your immune system, as well as relieves the sore and tense muscles with the aches and pains that stressful times will aggravate.
- Eat Healthy – Maintain a healthy, well balanced meal plan. We all tend to either over-eat or under-eat when we are stressed out, and it often tends to be not the healthiest of food options when we do eat. When you are stressed, it is even more important to make sure you eat complete and healthy meals throughout the day. When we eat well-balanced meals, we get the proper nutrients to fuel our mind and body to combat the everyday stressors. We need to keep our immune system up, our minds clear and focused, and our energy levels up. When we eat like crap, we feel like crap, and then we feel more out of control and unable to tackle what lies ahead. So do yourself a solid and try your best to keep eating healthy during times that you feel the most stressed. Give your body the fuel and defense to take on the stress. (Do I need to add drink plenty of water, too? Because staying hydrated is one of the most important aspects of eating healthy and properly fueling your body).
- Make time to do things you enjoy – One of the best things you can do, are things that make you happy. Make sure when you are dealing with stress, that you find time to step away to do what you love. Whether that is some form of art, reading, watching a movie, playing games or playing with your pet, or even getting outside and enjoying nature with a walk or gardening. Whatever you enjoy doing, whatever makes you happy, whatever makes your smile or laugh, do it. Staying positive and remembering what makes you happy will help you tremendously in dealing with your stress levels and bring you back down to a grounded state again.
- Talking it out – Sometimes you just need to talk about it. Whether you seek a professional to talk to, a friend or family member, or even yourself - yes talking out loud is okay to do. Talking about what is stressing you is a great first step in handling your stress. Acknowledging the stress; seeing it, hearing it, will allow you to address it and find ways to work around it, or how to handle it, or even prevent the same situation from possibly happening again in the future. If you don't like speaking out loud about it, maybe try writing it down and reading it. Acknowledging and accepting are the first steps of conquering through the tough times.
Stress, it is an everyday presence in our lives. There really is not a way to completely avoid stress. The bills will always be coming, the job and family responsibilities will always be demanding your attention, and you'll often feel like there is not enough time in the day to get everything done in time. Stress will perk up its ugly little head when we feel overwhelmed, not in control of a situation, or when we are anticipating something. It is ever present in our lives. So how do we cope with stress so that it does not take over our lives and lead to unhappiness, illness, and pour health? Below are some tips that have helped me cope with everyday stress. Give them a try.

I'm in great need of your services. I need to soothe the stress away as well. I've been too busy with my work and personal life. These are some very helpful tips to help unloading your stress. As a very stressful person, I'll surely make use of it. All of these are important, but I'd like to highlight eating a healthy diet. Eating the proper food will help make you healthier, physically and emotionally.

Great! I'm glad that you find my tips to be helpful. I agree with you on eating a healthy diet. Nutrition is such a key ingredient to our overall health; physically, emotionally, and mentally. Fueling our bodies with proper nutrients is so very important. I hope you find time to soothe some of your stresses away.

We work harder everyday for our loved ones. We always want to give the best they can have. In the process, we often forget the value of ourselves. Dealing with stress is something that we should learn because it's our way of valuing ourselves. This blog is an eye-opener for me, to take good care of myself and to value myself more. I scheduled myself to travel at least once a month. This is my life and I will live my life to its fullest. Thank you for posting!

text: Queer as a three dollar bill is an older saying which means that this person is bogus or phony; they might have acted a certain way to be impressive, but this is false and it should be made obvious. While this phrase isnt commonly used today because using the word queer nowadays is considered offensive, it means that something is obviously fake. There is no such thing as a three dollar bill therefore it must be phony.
