Kya Haal Mr. Paanchal 6th August 2018 Written Episode Update: Pratap Tries To Prove That Kunti Has Short-Term Memory Loss
Kya Haal Mr. Paanchal 6th August 2018 Written Episode, Written Update on TellyUpdates.com
Kunti calls Sarla home. Sarla asks Kunti if she will not feed her any snacks, at least methi mathri. Kunti asks Panjiri to bring tea and mathri for Sarla and asks Sarla if Pratap had money envelope. Sarla says yes. Kunti asks if it had money. Sarla says 100 rs note. Pratap hiding behind thinks Sasuma cannot prove him wrong at all and reminisces clashing with Sarla in market and acting as his envelope fell down, signaling envelope on ground. Sarla says it is on ground. Pratap says let him check and shows 100 rs bundles with only 1st and last 100 rs note and rest papers. Kunti tells she asked Pratap to return 100 rs notes, but he did not give it. Pratap thinks he will prove that Kunti has sort-term memory loss and is mad.
Kunti gathers her bahus and says damadji is trying to prove her mad, she needs their help, either she will prove Pratap wrong and herself as mad. Pratap hears their conversation and thinks he will be exposed for sure, so he has to do something. Pari's jokergiri continues and she says this painting will prove that Pratap did not return money to sasuma and shows plain paper. Pratibha asks where is Kunti and Pratap here. Pari says Kunti did not receive money and Pratap forgot to give, so they are not in painting.
Pratap walks to Bahus and says they should help him prove sasusama is mad. They resist. He tries to emotionally blackmail them. After sometimes, Kanhaiya brings sweet box saying neighbor gave and keeping it on table asks Kunti to taste it. Pratap changes box. Kunti sees gulab jamoon and tastes it happy. Kanhaiya returns. Kunti says gulab jamoon was very tasty. Pratap silently changes back sweet box. Kanhaiya says neighbor gave ladoo. Kunti says she had gulab jamoon. Kusum opens box and shows laddoos. Pratap acts as coming from outside and shouts Sasuma has gone mad. Kunti scolds him.
After sometime, Pratap silently walks into Kunti's room and exchanges her specs. Kunti wears specs and sees blur. Pratibha walks in. Kunti calls her Prema. Panjiri walks in next. Kunti calls her Pari. Pratap walks in and says Kunti cannot identify her bahus now. Kunti says she is seeing blur. Pratap silently changes specs. Kunti asks bahus to blow on her eyes to see if any dust fell and wears back glass. She sees clearly. Pratap continues trying to prove her mad. Next day, Kanhaiya asks Kunti if she misidentified her bahus. Kunti says no, calls 4 bahus and says she can identify them well. Drama continues. Bahus change their place. Kunti looking at Kanhaiya says she can identify bahus without seeing them and names them wrongly. Pratap says she is wrong. Kunti scolds bahus why did they change position. Pratap enters and tries to prove Kunti mad. Kunti scold him and leaves. After sometime, Pratap walks towards Kunti to prove her wrong, sees Kusum sleeping with eyes open, misunderstands and says he is doing for them both as he does not want to leave this house. He realizes that she is asleep and relaxes…
Precap: No precap.

Gibbs and Tony left the next day after lunch, and even though John was relieved now that everything could return back to normal, he noticed that Ziva was sad that her friends had to leave. He considered planning on a visit back to Earth or have more of her former team come out next time but it would take awhile before they would be able to do something like that.
He felt guilty for not being able to talk to her about it as he had a short mission involving taking a Jumper through the gate and observe the Genii while cloaked, even though they had visited the planet just a few days ago. Apparently, McKay had detected some small readings and now it was up to John to figure out what it was.
When he returned in time for dinner, Ziva and Teyla had been doing their woman bonding/talking things and Ziva was looking a bit better than when he had left. In fact, she looked much closer to her normal self which gave him great relief.
She sat at the table and played with Torren when John walked up. Smiling at him, "How was your mission? The Genii behaving themselves?"
"So far," he replied and cooed at Torren. "I'm going to get some dinner, do you want some more?"
"Salad with the fruit dressing would be nice and iced tea," she replied.
"Yes ma'am." John smiled and walked towards the dinner queue to get his own dinner too.
"He could have kissed you." Rodney rolled his eyes. "Like… 'Hi honey! I'm home!'"
Ziva shook her head. "You are being ridiculous. If he wanted to kiss me, he would have. I have never stopped him before."
Rodney huffed. "He's already admitted that you two are together, there's nothing wrong with showing you some affection in public."
"So then tell him that. As you just said, he could have kissed me, but he did not. Why are you being so difficult with me about this?"
"I'm not, I mean, if you and I were dating, I would have kissed you at least on the cheek to greet you after being away on a mission all by myself."
Teyla rolled her eyes as she began to feed the fussing baby again. Ziva stared at the scientist like he lost his mind. "Again – why are you telling me this. Why do you not go tell John to come over and kiss me. I have no control over his actions…This entire conversation is just completely absurd!"
"What? Is Rodney bothering you again?" John asked when he placed Ziva's salad and drink in front of her before he sat down himself. "Rodney, stop being an ass."
"I'm not being an ass!"
John stared at him. "According to that tone of voice, you are." He poked at the substance looking like soup but it was supposed to be some sort of oven-dish.
"He is making a big deal that you did not kiss me when you came back," Ziva pointed out as she took a bite of her salad. "He said something about being like Hi honey, I'm home."
John blinked and looked at Rodney. Then he looked at Ziva, who was sitting opposite of John. He leaned over to the table and kissed her all out. "Hi honey, I'm home." He smiled.
She sat there in full surprise and shock. While they did not keep their relationship a secret, they also weren't big on public displays of affection like that. "Wow…"
John shrugged and looked at Rodney. "Happy now?"
"Thanks, now I've lost the bet." McKay grumbled and handed Ronon a wad of cash.
"Seriously, when are you two going to stop betting on our lives?"
Ziva narrowed her eyes at the two men, making a mental note to beat Ronon in their next sparring session. "What was the bet this time?" she demanded.
"If one of us could make you show affection in public." Rodney answered.
She rolled her eyes. "Do not make me spike everything of yours with lemon stuff, because I would. Stop betting on John and my relationship or suffer the consequences!"
"You'd better listen to that." John nodded as he took a sip of his drink.
"My… stuff with lemon?" Rodney stammered. "Fine."
John finished his dinner and went for a coffee refill. "I'm going to my office to do today's paperwork should you need me." He walked out of the mess hall and made a mental note to think of something for Rodney and Ronon to do that had the possibility to be a very dirty job.
Ziva nodded as she stared their friends down while she worked on her own food. "Watch yourselves," she warned them as she stood when she was done. Saying her goodbyes to Teyla, and offering to babysit Torren should she wish for some personal time with her people, she set about the rest of her day.
She changed her clothes into something more casual and made her way over to John's office. Knocking on the open door, she watched him trying to work but was amused that he seemed to be more staring at his computer monitor.
"Hey," he smiled and looked up from his monitor.
"What has you so distracted? I thought you were supposed to be working on the reports," she teased.
"Trying to find a suitable punishment for at least Ronon, I can't make Rodney do anything, but Carter might."
Nodding, Ziva crossed the room and went to sit on his lap. "I think they are more bored or jealous than anything. We have not spent a great deal of time with them as we had before we were more formal about our relationship."
"I know, we should do a movie night or something." John sighed and put his arms around Ziva. "But it's kinda their own fault, they know I don't like their betting things."
"No," she answered. "It is our fault. We have gotten so into ourselves, that we neglected them. You do not spar with Ronon or Teyla anymore. Yes I do, but that is when you are on your missions by yourself. You do not even play your games with Rodney that Teyla told me about."
"I'll go and spend more time with them then…" He answered. "It's just hard to juggle my time right now."
Ziva slowly kissed John along his hair line and down his jaw. "I know," she said softly between her affections before sighing. "We both need to learn to budget ourselves so that we do not neglect those that care for us as well."
"I'll take Ronon for a run tomorrow morning," he softly kissed her and smiled. "How are you feeling? I'm sorry I had to be on a mission right after we sent your friends back through the gate."
"I am fine. You have no reason to be sorry," she said. "It is our job and to that of which we must succumb to. Thank you for a wonderful birthday."
"It was the least I could do, I know how much you miss your friends."
She didn't say anything to that. While she missed her friends and family back in DC, she had another family here in Atlantis. And that family began with the man that she was presently with. "We can worry about everything tomorrow. I just want you right now," she murmured with a slight grin as her hand snaked down between them to slowly undo the fly of his BDUs.
"Not in my office," He kissed her as he reached for the monitor to shut it off.
"Live a little John. No one would ever know anything other than us making out like two teenagers," she laughed as the last button on his pants flew open.
"Uh…" he mumbled as he tried to think of something to say but her small warm hand had already snuck its way past his shorts and was slowly teasing him to life. "I'd really be more comfortable in our quarters." He said huskily and caressed her hair as he looked into her eyes.
"Too bad." Ziva locked her legs around his to stop him from moving. "Don't make me cuff you to the chair."
"Ohhh." John grinned. "Okay, I'm all yours." One of his hands sneaked underneath her shirt.
She looked around carefully to make sure no one was around or really paying attention to them. Having had slipped on a light skirt as the afternoon gotten quite warm, even for her, she slowly moved herself into position over him. The fabric covered them more than adequately so that she could pull him out for her personal pleasure. Her hand wrapped around his length, slowly stroking him until he was at full attention.
For some reason John just knew that she had planned this all along, and for once, he didn't really mind. It was weird and he truly hoped no one would enter his office after having announced in the mess hall that he'd be in his office doing the paper work that required his attention. He softly caressed her thigh with his other hand underneath her skirt and when he had reached the top of her thigh he noticed she wasn't wearing any underwear. He moaned as he kissed her and moved his hand to caress her ass, he didn't have the right access to focus on the front. What if Ziva would walk on one of the open balconies and the wind would have swept her skirt up when everyone else was looking?
Grinning, Ziva raised herself just enough to hover over his cock. With a wolfish grin, she pressed herself over him, letting him fill her inch by glorious inch. She had leaned in to kiss him again, their mouths muffling the moans that would have attracted unwanted attention from anyone that might be passing by. As it was, she could see Carter and Woolsey coming up the hall from the corner of her eye but turned his chair around so that John wouldn't see them. All anyone would think was that she was simply a girlfriend who was forcing the workaholic into a short break – which wasn't a lie. Sam caught sight of her friends before her colleague and for some reason, just knew. Ziva had to fight to keep from laughing at the sudden flush that Sam had in her face, but thankfully, they continued on walking past the door. "Remind me to get a nice big present for Carter," she whispered into John's ear.
"Why?" He nibbled on her earlobe. "She's not standing behind us, is she?"
"No, but she did just divert Woolsey away from the office. She suspects right now, but you know how she is," Ziva grinned as she gave a slight rock of her hips for him.
John groaned and then nodded. "A kilo of the best chocolate it is."
She reached up and rested her arms over his shoulders as she continued to slowly rock and ride him. Every so often she would squeeze and tighten her muscles around him that would make him jump slightly. "Oh…you like that don't you?" she asked, as she repeated it again for him.
"Nope." John lied and managed to squeeze her breast. "You know what I want to do to you?" He said with a low voice in her ear. "I want to tie you up on my bed, that's right, the small bed, naked…" He shrugged a little. "Maybe tie your feet up too… and then just lick every, every single inch of your gorgeous body."
Ziva bit her lip to hold back the groan that threatened to escape. "Only if I get to have my turn as well," she replied before Rodney walked in on them.
"Sheppard. When you are done making out with your girlfriend there, I need you in the chair room. I just found the greatest thing and I need you to test it out for me!" he grinned excitedly as he tapped away on his computer pad, oblivious to what his friends were really doing.
John swallowed hard and tried to sound normal as he peeked over Ziva's shoulder. "Sure Rodney."
"After I am done with him," Ziva added as she looked back as well, tightening again.
"I figured as much," the scientist said distractedly. "Oh, look at this!" McKay rounded the desk to shove the tablet in between John and Ziva, forcing her to lean back and bite her tongue hard as it sent another wave of pleasure through them with the angle. "I think this is an old lab that the Ancients used to work on some of their experiments! But from what I can find on it, it can only be unlocked by someone using the chair!"
"Sure Rodney…" John said, wanting his friend out of his office. "Whatever you want me to do, I will do it after Ziva's done with me… Just promise me not to blow stuff up when I open that…" he took a deep breath. "Damn door!"
McKay looked at him and huffed. "Of course Sheppard. I'm not an idiot! Okay, maybe I blew up a solar system, but you can't say that is really my fault -" he started to rant on when Ziva pulled him down to her eye level.
"Get out," she said simply. Her hand had the front of his uniform in a tight hold, tight enough that the collar of his jacket was forced against his skin that it would leave a mark for a short time.
"Uhh…Uhhh…Okay, just um, make sure that he gets to the chair room. I'll be in my lab until," he gulped before glancing at his friend and running out, muttering about assassins and their boyfriends.
"Thank God!" John nuzzled Ziva's neck as he squeezed her ass.
She let her fingers rake across the back of his neck as she rode his cock more and working him harder from the inside. "Part of the excitement," she grinned. "You didn't expect to like this as much as you do, huh?"
"No…" He moaned as he licked her earlobe. "But if you stop now… I will have to throw you in the brig for a night for disappointing a commanding officer." He thought for a second. "Which would totally not work as you're an NCIS agent and your own CO." He groaned. "Well… add a blindfold to you tied up to the bed."
Sitting up, Ziva grinned at him with a sparkle in her eyes. She just had a new fantasy for him. "Really? The brig?" she asked rolling herself down hard on him so that he was inside her to the hilt.
He bit down on her neck. Holy shit! "Don't even think about it." he said, breathing heavily.
"Why not?" she let out, fighting the need to moan loudly. She gave him another good solid rock of her hips as she turned her head to nibble on his own earlobe. "I could be your little prisoner toy. No one is down there anyway, at least if there is no one being held. Perfect place for this…" she spoke into his ear as she pushed herself down on his cock again, and again very slowly.
"You're always my toy… we don't need the prison for that." He groaned and put his hands on her hips.
Ziva sighed, loving the feel of his hands on her skin. If she could she would be going much harder on him but held back. She grinned at him as she leaned back to the way she was forced to during Rodney's visit. As her eyes rolled back, her hands became like a vice on his arms where she held on to keep from falling – and crying out. "John…"
He bucked his hips a few times when she climaxed and set off his own orgasm. "God… Ziva…" he moaned as he buried his face into her breasts.
She raised his face so that she could kiss him thoroughly. "You are probably going to want to clean up before you go see Rodney," she pointed out between breaths. She really did not want to have to get off him but Ziva knew it was necessary and whimpered as she lost the feeling of him inside her.
"I don't want to go to Rodney." John pouted as he supported Ziva's frame as she got off of him. "I want to tie you up in bed instead!" He reached for his drawer and fumbled out an old pair of tracking pants.
"So don't go. It's nothing that isn't going to disappear before tomorrow. The lab has been there for 10,000 years," she replied as she adjusted her skirt.
"No… I have to go, it's the least I could do for him." He nodded as he stripped down and kicked off the rest of his uniform only to get into his other pants. "There. Officially off duty." He smirked.
She looked at him blankly. "You balked initially when I went to please you but you have no problem stripping in your office? A bit contradicting, don't you think?"
"Making out and changing clothes in my office are completely different things."
"Oh we did more than make out but you just exposed a great deal of your body to everyone passing," she pointed out again, as she stared at his bare chest.
He grabbed his white t-shirt off the floor and put it on. "I forgot that one."
Ziva blinked and nodded slowly. "Tell McKay to hurry up then come find me," she commented before walking out with a sway in her hips.
"Yes ma'am!" He folded the rest of his uniform and stuffed them into a drawer of his desk and then made his way over to Rodney. "I'm all yours but make it quick because I have a girlfriend that gave me marching orders."

My love for you, Egypt, increases by the day (single—channel video, 2011) On January 27th 2011 Egyptian authorities succeeded in shutting down the country's international Internet access points in response to growing protests. Over one weekend, a group of programmers developed a platform called Speak2Tweet that would allow Egyptians to post their breaking news on Twitter via voicemail despite Internet cuts. The result was thousands of heartfelt messages from Egyptians recording their emotions by phone.
This experimental film presents a selected Speak2Tweet message of a man professing his love to Egypt on February 8, 2011 prior to the fall of the Mubarak regime and juxtaposes it with the abandoned structures that represented the long-lasting effects of a corrupt dictatorship.

Ever wonder how a watch looks that has nothing left to prove? Then look no further than the Zenith Elite Chronograph Classic! An utterly understated creation that will elevate the pulse of those people who know, but will probably be completely ignored by those who have little passion for watchmaking. That by itself can be a reason to strap this watch around your wrist, but there are so many more!
With its 42-millimeter stainless steel case is the Zenith Elite Chronograph Classic very well proportioned. Its bezel is relatively thin which leaves more room for the dial. Zenith gave this dial a deep blue color with a sunburst effect. By keeping the hour markers slim and the two subdials minimal, the dial is understated and expressive at the same time. It gives the color and the finish plenty of room to shine, but with a suitable refrain.
Being a Zenith and a chronograph, it leaves little guesswork which movement can be found inside the case. El Primero caliber 4069 offers there its services with a power reserve of 50 hours, and of course at the legendary frequency of 36.000 VpH/ 5 Hz. Due to the configuration of the caliber 4069, this Zenith forgoes the hour counter and only has the 30-minute counter at three o'clock combined with the running seconds at nine o'clock which greatly contributes to the clean and pure look of the watch. The finishing touch is the alligator strap which features a rubber lining for extra wearing comfort.
In many ways is the Zenith Elite Chronograph Classic like a plain blue suit from your favorite Savile Row tailor. To the untrained eye it is just another watch, yet to the connoisseurs among us, it is an undisputed masterpiece, crafted with care and with the pedigree of a champion!

It's one of the best weekends in England's football calendar - the FA Cup third round.
It's the round where the big boys enter and the little boys dream of drawing, er, the big boys.
There are five non-league teams guaranteed a place in the third round, with a further three in the hat facing replays to take their spot.
Blyth Spartans join Conference outfits Dover, Southport, Gateshead and Wrexham definitely in the hat, while Worcester City, Aldershot and Chester face replays.
Arsenal are the current holders of the famous old trophy, following a stirring comeback in last year's final against Steve Bruce's Hull City.
In pictures: Hull City vs Arsenal FA Cup Final
Here is all you need to know ahead of the balls being drawn:
When is the draw?
The draw will take place this evening at 8pm at The Deep Aquarium in Hull.
Where can I watch it?
The draw will be live on BBC Two.
When will the fixtures take place?
The third round ties will take place between January 3 and January 6.
Which are the numbers to look out for?
The first 44 numbers are the Premier League and Championship clubs in alphabetical order, which is handy. AFC Bournemouth have the honour of being ball number 1, whilst holders Arsenal are next up with number 2.
Chelsea have won four of the last eight Cup finals, and they will be ball number 13 in the draw. Unlucky for some.
Old rivals Liverpool and Manchester United are balls number 23 and 25 respectively, with United's Manchester neighbours occupying ball 24.
Wigan Athletic, winners in 2013, are among the Championship clubs awaiting their Cup fate, and they will be ball number 43 in the draw.
Blyth Spartans are the lowest-ranked team with a guaranteed first-round outing, thus having solitary ownership of ball 52.
Wrexham, Southport, Gateshead and Dover will be balls 47, 54, 55 and 61. Worcester City or Scunthorpe are ball 48, Chester or Barnsley ball 58 and Aldershot or Rochdale ball 64.
Who will make the draw?
Legendary England goal-getter Alan Shearer will be on hand to help conduct the draw, hopefully not in the same attire with which he graced our television screens in Hartlepool on Friday night.
He will be joined by Paul Adamson, a football coach in Beverley, East Yorkshire, who focuses his attention on children with diabilities.
Paul recently won the Coach of the Year and Volunteer of the Year awards at the East Riding County FA's Community Awards 2014.
What happened last year?
In the 2014 3rd round, Sheffield United started their run to the semi-final with a 2-1 victory at Villa Park.
Arsenal enjoyed a comfortable afternoon at the Emirates against North London rivals Tottenham, with strikes from Santi Cazorla and Tomas Rosicky helping them to a 2-0 win.
David Moyes' Manchester United nightmare continued with a 2-1 home defeat to Swansea Cit, while Man City, Liverpool and Everton all progressed.

Trend Micro plans to hold an annual conference for its resellers.
The company already implements quarterly seminars and road shows for its resellers, but sees the conference as a way to take channel support to the next level.
"We see this as a way to get all the channel partners from Australia and New Zealand together," national channel and distribution manager, Steve Clack, said.
The conference will combine education, training and new technologies over a two- to three-day period.
The company also hopes to start a new rewards program at the conference. This will reward resellers for their achievements.
"We plan to present awards to the best reseller in each state," Clack said. "This not only thanks resellers for their hard work, it also creates healthy competition."
Although the first conference is not planned until the next quarter, the company hopes to hold future conferences at the beginning of the year.
"We want it to become a kind of channel kick-off," Clack said. "We see this as a way to invest back into the channel."

Apple is preparing a secret project "Star"
According to a report by 9to5Mac, Apple is preparing a project called "Star". The device includes a prototype with a touch screen, a slot for SIM-cards, GPS, compass and waterproof housing.
A small batch of these devices was manufactured by Pegatron and sent to the headquarters of Apple in Cupertino.
Project Star or "model No. 84" is probably the new MacBook or laptop on iOS. To date, about the new device, almost nothing is known – about the size of the screen, nor the design, nor the processor.
For anybody not a secret that Apple wants to begin using chips with ARM architecture. It has already been done on iOS devices that use chips of the series A. the First such devices that have received the ARM-microprocessors A6, are iPhone 5 iPhon5 5s. But, in the case of computers, work needs to be done much more.
We have previously written about what Apple plans to move to its own Mac processors by 2020.

These pugs are dressed to impress on their wedding day
In a love story for our times, two pugs overcame enormous obstacles and seven years of dating to finally wed on Sunday.
Before an adoring crowd of 60 dogs and 350 humans in Melbourne, Australia, Jasmine and Jasper said "I do" in a beachfront ceremony.
As Mashable Australia has previously reported, the two dog overcame years of hardship after being abandoned, almost blind and obese, and were nursed back to health by Pug Rescue and Adoption Victoria.
Now happily living together with their adoptive family, Jasper and Jasmine, along with best man Frank, bridesmaid Nancy, page boy Gav and flower girl Pixie, donned jaunty outfits for the occasion.
According to the Herald Sun, Jasmine's couture gown — valued at A$2000 — was designed by Craig Braybrook from Project Runway.
The wedding was also a charity gala, with tickets of A$30 raising funds for Pug Rescue Victoria.
Treats for dogs and humans were served alongside a cake adorned with a Jasmine and Jasper wedding topper.
Many happy returns, Jasmine and Jasper!

Latinos Unidos is a club that applies to any student that wants to know and explore more on the Latino heritage. The club meets on Thursdays during lunch.
Spanish teacher Jose Espinoza created this club to unite students to have fun and make a lot of friends while they are at it. Members of the club make horchata or other food, which helps attract new members.There's field trips so not only do people meet during lunch, but also take part in fun adventures like community service and cultural explorations.
"I want to join to know more about my culture," said an SJR junior, Karem Yanez who identifies as Mexican.
According to Espinoza, a club like this can relate to our community because it's better to share out new things others so others should also try to have at schools to spread the great club.
"If you apply for scholarships you can say you took it," said World Language Spanish teacher Jose Espinoza.
It's important to mention you attended Latinos Unidos because as colleges know what club you applied for they put in thought that you know a lot about the Latino culture others may not know, according to Espinoza.
According to the members, joining Latinos unidos will give you a chance to provide more to others on the culture all latinos happen to share and may teach others why it's important and an understanding.
"You should join because they give you the satisfaction to go help others," said Espinoza.

Music Modernization Act Passes Unanimously in House
The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Music Modernization Act (H.R. 5447) by a unanimous 415-0 vote.
The legislation is the result of the multi-year copyright review headed by House Judiciary Chairman Goodlatte (R-VA), and combined three previous standalone measures: the Music Modernization Act (H.R. 4706) which addresses issues relating to songwriter/publisher compensation by on demand streaming services; the CLASSICS Act (H.R. 3301) which addresses royalties paid to owners of pre-1972 sound recordings; and the AMP Act (H.R. 881) which addresses royalties paid to music producers.
Importantly, the final version of the bill incorporated the text of an agreement reached earlier this year between National Association of Broadcasters, ASCAP and BMI on provisions related to those PROs' rate courts, as well as an agreed upon compromise approach to the treatment of pre-1972 sound recordings by digital services. The legislation steers completely clear of the terrestrial performance tax issue, which has been the NAB's and MAB's advocacy goal from the outset of this copyright review.

Recreating advertising
Article Abstract:
The advertising industry is experiencing a shift in the market as clients indicate their discontent with the services offered by leading agencies. Marketers state that the usual ad agencies are now lacking talent and novel ideals for 30-second advertisements. An indicator of client discontent with their ad agencies is the changing hands of around 30 accounts between Jan 1998 to Oct 1998. Companies such as Domino's, United Air Lines, Kodak, Delta Air Lines have ceased to work with their long-time ad agencies.

We've seen these parents in our practice: those that say their children get "hyper" from eating a red Popsicle or that the orange mac and cheese makes their ADHD somehow worse. But what's the evidence that food dyes are actually related to behavior?
The safety of artificial food colors (AFCs) has been questioned since as far back as 1973, when Benjamin Feingold proposed that they were making kids hyperactive, along with a host of other side effects (see Feingold B. Why Your Child is Hyperactive. Random House;1985). But controlled studies have not all cleanly come to the same conclusion.
Artificial food colors, often called "food dyes," are ubiquitous and can be found everywhere from cheese to cola to the peel of an orange, and especially in foods targeted to children. Variations of these additives have been used for hundreds of years, beginning with natural food colors and more recently artificial dyes. They have been on the radar of government agencies that regulate food and drugs in the Us and Europe since the early twentieth century.
In the US, these dyes are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which has set acceptable daily limits and performs batch tests for safety of the nine "certified colors" that are synthetically created, although the same is not true for the 29 food dyes that are naturally derived. According to FDA statistics, the per capita use of AFCS has quadrupled in the last 50 years.
In 2011, the FDA convened an advisory committee to hear testimony on the evidence for AFCs' relationship to ADHD. They ultimately decided (by an 8 to 6 vote) not to recommend banning AFCs or requiring a warning label. Here's a breakdown of the evidence and recommendations for how you can approach questions about food dyes in your practice.
What the Research Shows
Food dyes have been examined in many studies dating back to the 1970s. Many studies have focused on comparing kids on a regular diet with kids on a specialized dye-free diet (such as the Kaiser Permanente diet, developed by the aforementioned Dr Feingold) to see how these diets effect measures of hyperactivity.
In 2004, a meta-analysis of 15 double-blind, placebo-controlled studies found a relatively small effect size of 0.28 between AFCs and placebo on ADHD symptoms and in parent rating measures (Schab DW & Trinh NH, J Dev Behav Pediatr 2004;25:423-434). (As a reminder, an effect size of 0.2 is considered small, 0.5 medium, and 0.8 large.)
Various studies of elimination diets, where most foods are eliminated before being slowly re-introduced in order to observe effects, have found that introduction of AFCs has negative results on behavior of both children with ADHD and those without (see for example Egger J et al, Lancet 1985;1:540-545). A 2012 review found that there was a >70% response rate to elimination diets and that most parents reported more hyperactivity when challenged with AFCs (Stevens L et al, Clin Pediatr 2012;50:279-293).
Two additional meta-analyses in 2012 (Nigg JT et al, JAACAP 2012;51:86- 97) and 2010 (Stevenson J et al, Amer J Psychiatry 2010;167:108-1115) found small but significant effects "too substantial to ignore" (Nigg et al, opt.cit), but not conclusive.
Unfortunately, most studies analyzing the effects of AFCs are limited in some way. Many of these studies lump artificial food dyes together with each other or with preservatives, making it impossible to distinguish which colors may be more harmful. There is not a standard "dose" or duration of exposure to AFCs in the studies, further clouding the results.
Two of the better studies came from the Southampton group, which had excellent blinding for the challenges, but also had Na benzoate, a preservative, in the dye mix. They found a small but significant deleterious effect in a community sample of children not selected for having ADHD. The effect was noted across diagnostic groups, whether the children had ADHD, allergies, or neither. Importantly, the effect was linked to a common genotype that 60% of the children had (Bateman B et al, Ach Dis Child 2004;89:506-511; McCann D et al, Lancet 2007;370:1560-1567).
These results suggest that food dyes are a widespread public health problem, rather than just an ADHD problem. It may also shed some light on the heritability of ADHD symptoms: what is inherited may well be genetic vulnerabilities to environmental stresses, including chemicals in food.

Oh my aching feet, or not. This might not be a pretty picture but it represents something amazing. The red dot graphic foot marks the Kidney One acupressure point on the Kidney Meridian. If you were to take a hold of your foot and place the thumb on that location, it would definitely relieve an aching foot. What else can benefit from applying pressure to the Kidney One acupressure point? It can help regulate blood pressure, relieves dizziness and faintness, clears the mind, improve memory, concentration, and mental alertness. It can help hot flashes, relieving anxiety, restores energy and increases general vitality in the body.
Healing Energy: Step Two-Interpret DrawingNovember 20th, 2012 | Posted by in CHAKRAS | ENERGY HEALING
Yes, it is up to you to interpret your drawing. Here are a few questions: 1. How empty or full is the picture? 2. What colors did you choose? This drawing represents your life and the tree represents you. 3. What does your drawing say about how you feel about your environment and yourself? 4. Are you blooming? Are you waning? 5. How important are you in the scheme of things?
I hope you keep this drawing to refer to when we start exploring the chakra system. This can be a important clue to chakra energy healing needed. Stay tuned.
Energy Healing: Step One – Draw Me a Tree!November 19th, 2012 | Posted by in CHAKRAS | ENERGY HEALING
I like Dr. Bernie S. Siegel's Exercise 58 in his book 101 Exercises for the Soul. This is fun homework.
Get yourself a big box of crayons and a drawing tablet.
This is a wonderful tool for self-expression.
Step One: Draw a picture of an outdoor scene, and include a tree in your art piece.
Let your inner-child come out to play.
Oh, yes and Step Two: "What does creative vision say about you?

Grounding – Breathing TechniqueNovember 13th, 2012 | Posted by in ENERGY HEALING
Here is a quick breathing technique to help ground yourself, clear the mind and helps alliviate headaches. You will use calming, grounding statements as you breathe, like:
Inhaling (through left nostril, closing right nostril with right thumb), "I am breathing in calm" or "I am breathing in good energy."
(Close left nostril) Exhaling (through right nostril), "I am breathing out anxiety" or "I am breathing out bad energy ," or "I am safe."
Repeat rounds 6-10 times, focus on keeping breath smooth, deep and rhythmic. You will not want to practice this exercise if you have a cold. If pregnant, please check with your healthcare provider.
Watch for future grounding posts using gemstones, essential oils and my favorite, hugging trees!
Balancing the Brain HemispheresNovember 12th, 2012 | Posted by in ENERGY HEALING
This grounding technique is called, balancing the brain hemispheres. Many of my clients and I practice this exercise because it is so relaxing. Place both hands on the sides of your head so the palms are resting on the temples and the fingers cradle (wrap around) the crown of your head. The fingers from both hands will possibly touch at the top of the head. Hold firmly but not too tight. Close your eyes and take several deep breaths. This is an opportunity to become aware of what your body needs regarding how many seconds it takes before you feel grounded and balanced.
Look for another grounding tip tomorrow!
Thymus tapping – the Tarzan ThumpNovember 11th, 2012 | Posted by in ACUPRES.,MERIDIANS, REFLEX. | ENERGY HEALING
Many of you are probably too young to remember the character Tarzan, or had little brothers running around the house pounding the center of their chest like a drum pretending to be Tarzan of the jungle. Now I know that they were doing some great energy healing. Tapping the area over the thymus gland is a simple technique that awakens the body's energies, helps the immune system, and increases your strength and vitality. This is especially true if your immune system is being challenged if you are catching a cold, fighting an infection or if you are feeling a little down.
The Tarzan thump is a simple technique: Take the four fingers of both hands and tap the center between the breasts, or you can make like Tarzan and tap with one fist. Tap firmly, breathe slowly and deeply, in through your nose and out through your mouth for two or three deep breaths. This is one of those exercises that you can repeat throughout the day which will help stimulate and reset the thymus gland. Happy thumping.
The Components of 'OM' for ChantingNovember 10th, 2012 | Posted by in ENERGY HEALING | SOUND,CHANTS,MANTRAS
Chanting OM is recommended to release blockages that might be present in your throat region. The OM sound is believed to have a positive effect on the nervous system, to strengthen the respiratory system and to energize every part of the body. Chanting its three syllables sets up rebalancing vibrations in your body. Here are the components of OM – AAAH OU MMMMM and directions on how to chant:
AAAH -open mouth wide and begin to loudly chant the initial syllable, AAAH, letting the sound begin in the pit of your abdomen.
OU - Gradually round your lips to allow the sound to morph into OU. Feel it move up through your chest and throat region.
MMMMM - Continue rounding your lips more tightly to form the final sound, MMMMM. Let the sound vibrate in your head and face, especially in your sinus cavities.
Feel free to repeat OM Chanting slowly, making each part of the sound as long as possible. The sounds can become softer and softer until you are whispering or humming the chant. Then begin to make the sound gradually louder again.
Grounding TechniquesNovember 10th, 2012 | Posted by in ENERGY HEALING
Are you grounded? At times we all experience stress, emotional irritability, not feeling connected, a little spaced out, and an inability to focus. This is when we are definitely not grounded. Here is a quick grounding technique that can be done in a few moments:
Stand up, give your body a doggy shake to loosen up. Then start bouncing up and down on the balls of your feet for about 20 seconds. Relax, close your eyes, if you choose, and feel the earth energy entering into your feet. Doing this as often as needed during the day is very beneficial and you will start to realize your increased awareness of the grounding energy. REMEMBER be open. This an excellent exercise to do as soon as you hop out of bed. It is energizing. Then before you drop into bed at night, a few up and down bounces will help you sleep.
More grounding tips tomorrow!
Balanced View of HealingNovember 10th, 2012 | Posted by in ENERGY HEALING
Jeanne Acherberg, in her book Women as Healer, reminds us of the following concepts, which contribute toward a balanced view of healing:
Healing is a lifelong journey toward wholeness.
Healing is remembering what has been forgotten about connection, and unity and interdependence among all things living and nonliving.
Healing is embracing what is most feared.
Healing is opening what has been closed, softening what has hardened into obstruction.
Healing is entering into the transcendent, timeless moment when one experiences the divine.
Healing is creativity and passion and love.
Healing is seeking and expressing self in its fullness.
Healing is learning to trust life.
When we are underdeveloped in any of these concepts, we find a closed door to our physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

It's almost like I've known you my entire life.
Although I normally upload reviews on Sundays and Dear Reader-parts on Tuesdays I couldn't resist uploading the review of Kalyn Nicholson's book straight away. The book came out on August 7thand I've been reading it a couple of days later, basically in one sitting.
It's a story about love, loss and family, with just the right amount of cheesiness and a hell lot of coffee. But let me give you an overview of the plot. (Spoiler-Alert!)
The book is written from the view of eighteen-year-old Carson Wallace. The girl lives with her parents in Thalia, a country in the future and is being homeschooled by her father. The story starts with a tragedy that happened to Carson's family when she was about four years old. During a lift-crash (lifts being the futuristic transportation vehicles) her younger brother Axel dies, although Carson also nearly did not survive the accident. But while she is unconscious she meets a young boy with grey eyes who tells her it would not be her time to die yet. So, she decides to live and returns to her life. The boy, whom she calls Grey, continues to visit her in her dreams and together they have the most awesome adventures.
As the years go by, their friendship eventually turns to love, but on Carson's 18thbirthday her house is set on fire, she and her parents merely escape and her world is turned upside down. Suddenly she is allowed to attend Yorker, a school which specializes in brain stimulation, something her parents have forbidden her before since the school is across the country in the capital of Thalia. Also, instead of Grey, Carson suddenly dreams about how she herself sets her house on fire with a pack of matches she found.
Things get even more confusing when she not only finds out that Grey exists in real life, but that she also is on top of a kill-list established by the government. Trying to escape from her fate, she discovers secrets about her world, she'd never thought possible.
Well, I don't want to spoil you anymore, so I'm gonna stop with that.
Overall, the book is a nice read, which features a lot of almond lattes and notebooks. Nicholson's style of writing is pretty good, although the characters do miss a tiny bit of depth every now and then. Apart from that I really enjoyed reading Catcher and cannot wait to read the sequel to this very exciting series.

2nd annual Transatlantic Forum on Migration and Integration held in Texas
From July 15-19, GMF and the Robert Bosch Stiftung hosted the second annual Transatlantic Forum on Migration and Integration (TFMI). The forum welcomed 58 emerging leaders working on immigration issues from the United States, Europe, and sending countries, including Japan, Russia, and El Salvador, to Austin and San Antonio, Texas.
The Forum opened on Wednesday evening with welcome remarks from GMF President Craig Kennedy and Dieter Berg, chairman of the board for the Robert Bosch Stiftung.
A learning community on migration and integration,TFMI participants represent business, government, media, academia, and non-governemental organizations on both sides of the Atlantic, and sending countries.
Over the following three days, the forum covered a range of topics relevant to immigration. Session topics included race, religion, and ethnicity; exterior and interior enforcement in the European Union and the United States; local solutions to federal problems; migration and the economic crisis; security and civil rights; and the illegal immigrant rights and legalization. Additionally, participants undertook varying site visits to relevant locations and institutions in Austin that provide services to immigrants. This included a one day trip to San Antonio where participants had the opportunity of sitting in and observing the San Antonio immigration court system, which was followed by a debriefing with immigration Judge Glenn McPhaul who shared insight into understanding immigration law at the federal level.
The mix of formats that also included speakers Rafael Anchía, House Representative, State of Texas; Rosemary Jenks, Director of Government Relations, NumbersUSA; Antonio Ramirez de Leon, Adjunct Professor, Mexican American Catholic College; Mark Hugo Lopez, Associate Director, Pew Hispanic Center; Thomas Saenz, Counsel to the Mayor, Office of Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa; Randi Shade, Council Member, City of Austin; Alejandro Siller-González, San Juan Diego Immigration Project, Mexican American Catholic College;Cristina Tzintzún, Director, Workers Defense Project; and Shaarik H. Zafar, Senior Policy Advisor, Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, contributes to making TFMI the leading platform for future decision-makers and an international forum for exchange on crucial immigration and integration issues. TFMI sessions are designed to go below the surface-level debates in order to examine political instruments for dealing with migration. By exploring multiple perspectives on these issues, participants share ideas for best practices and form lasting professional relationships across political and national boundaries.
The forum ended with a proclamation from the Mayor of Austin declaring Thursday, July 16 as TFMI day in Austin.
Organized by the German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMF) with support and collaborative effort from the Robert Bosch Stiftung, the inaugural TFMI was held last year in Nuremberg, Germany, and laid the groundwork for the forum to be the leading platform for future decision-makers and an international forum for exchange on crucial immigration and integration issues.

Steel Framing - Dietrich Metal Framing - Facility Management Product Release
Dietrich Metal Framing
website | Company information
UltraSTEEL is made using a process that alters the characteristics of the base strip steel, providing higher strength capacity from lighter gauge material. The process increases the effective thickness of the material (the depth of the double-helix ribbing) and, in practice, means that the gauge of the material can be reduced, according to the company. The metal is stiffened by creating a double-helix dimpled pattern on the surface, which is then further strengthened through work hardening by the combined effects of cold-roll forming, all in one continuous process.
Independent tests have shown improved screw retention characteristics, according to the company. The cross-section ensures every screw is in contact with a material thickness greater than the nominal gauge of the steel. Furthermore, the location of screws within the framing material creates inward pressure around the point of contact as a pull-out force is applied.
The dimpled surface of the section has been shown to reduce the levels of noise transmission through walls and ceilings, according to the company.
The product has received the following code approvals:
- The International Code Conference Evaluation Services in Report ESR-1977 certifies that it is a compliant building product and is approved for construction use even when not specifically named in existing codes.
- The American Society for Testing and Materials International adjusted the language in standard C645, the "Standard Specification for Nonstructural Steel Framing Members." The new language verifies that the product complies with the specification and is not required to meet the 0.0179 inch minimum thickness that all generic studs must meet.
- The product received approval from Architectural Testing, Inc. in Code Compliance Research Report CCRR 0109 certifying that it is a compliant building product and is approved for construction use even when not specifically named in existing codes.

Adrian Parnell
Landscape and flower studies in oil
Adrian was brought up in North Devon and went on to study at St. Martins School of Art and the Slade during the 70's. He is an associate member of the Penwith Society St. Ives and has exhibited regularly in London at the RCA British Art Fair, the London Contemporary and galleries in Amsterdam and New York.
For the past 4 decades he has been creating paintings and drawings that chart a continuing visual engagement with the landscape.
He says "landscape painting for me should try to include the play of light, textures, surfaces and atmospheres of a place. A painting is only about layers of time and paint, the subject which started the creative process is overtaken by the exploration, experimentation and excitement of what emerges on the canvas. The time spent on a work is an immersive reconnoitre leading to the finished picture which in turn leads to the next adventure."
