“Did anyone bring a torch?” I heard Kristina saying, although I could barely make out her features in the surrounding dusk. It was around 8pm, and the sun had well and truly set by this point, so we were trudging along in the dark. We had almost got to the end of the rocky mountain path, but we still needed to trek across the plateau at the foot of the path leading to the village, and we could barely see a few feet in front of our noses. It turned out that between seven of us, we only had two torches that were strong enough to make any difference…
This was of course not the only rookie error we made on the two day trek up and down Mount Toubkal – at 4,167 metres the highest peak in the Moroccan Atlas mountains, and all of North Africa, for that matter.
We also didn’t bring a map, apart from a printout of a blog post I found online (which I thought gave pretty clear directions to the top!). And we didn’t even consider hiring a guide with a mule to carry our stuff or lead the way. I don’t think anyone had a compass, either.
I got the idea for the trip in my head after hearing of various charity hikes up the mountain, and in October 2014 a group of nine of us flew to Marrakesh with the aim to conquer the peak. We were a group of mixed abilities and trekking experience, but we were all super keen to get out there and see what the Atlas mountains could throw at us. Quite a lot, it turned out…
I took on much of the planning for the hike itself, but I also relied heavily on Alex, a friend who probably had more hiking and camping experience than the rest of us, and who I therefore trusted to tell me if my ideas were mental or just a little on the edge.
The first decision we made was to do away with the guide…”We can totally do it on our own, it’s just a hike!” we decided. Then we read a few articles online and concluded there would be no need for crampons or any other kind of winter equipment in October, as it is still pretty warm that time of year.
And then I found the blog…and this blog seemed so wonderfully detailed, with pictures and all, that we thought…”We don’t really need a map, it’s all in there!” [I cannot for the life of me find the link to this blog now!]
I am convinced the trip would have taken a rather different shape had someone else been in charge of this crucial bit of preparation, but it would have been far less memorable and exciting. Loads of people trek up Mount Toubkal! Not very many do so armed with just a printout of a blog and no one guiding them…
The route itself is a gruelling slog up from a small village called Imlil, up at 1,740m above sea level, to the overnight refuge at 3,300m, and then up to the summit and back all the way down to Imlil on day two. It’s not technically hard, with only a little bit of scrambling on loose scree towards the top, but it is damn hard work if you haven’t done a huge amount of preparation beforehand. And of course, none of us had specifically trained for this. That would have just taken the fun out of the whole thing, right?
It is no wonder really that with our comical lack of preparation we managed to botch the timing spectacularly enough to end up in the middle of the Atlas mountains in the dark, with just two head torches between seven.
The worst part was that one person in our group had fallen ill the previous day, so she had to hire a Berber with a mule to take her down. Another friend volunteered to go with her, being one of the faster walkers in our group, and therefore able to keep pace with the local mountain-dweller. This meant that an overnight camp in the middle of the route was completely out of the question, as our friends waited for us in the village, all alone and worried out of their minds. Besides, the temperatures drop rapidly at night in the Moroccan mountains, and it was beginning to get chilly…
The hike up to the refuge on the first day took us a good 7 hours over steep rocky terrain, and by the time we finally arrived we were exhausted. The refuge sits at the foot of the ascent up to the summit, with a communal eating area downstairs and hostel-style dorms upstairs.
The nine of us all stayed in one room with maybe 10 other people. The double-decker beds are formed of two planks of wood stretching across the whole length of the wall with a wide mattress on top. They can comfortably fit five or six people on each level in a row. I slept on the upper deck, in my sleeping bag liner and hat, and covered in a thick woolen blanket provided by the refuge, to insulate from the cold. It wasn’t the most comfortable night of my life, but the place is cheap – just over 200 dirham (around £15) for a night with dinner and breakfast included.
I guess most of my discomfort was down to the dull headache, which had started that evening and stayed with me for most of the following day: 3,300m and above is simply not an altitude at which I normally spend a lot of my time (sadly!). In hindsight, it would have probably been a good idea to acclimatise a bit more slowly, but we were keen to get to the summit, so the next morning off we went…(unfortunately, we had to leave my ill friend behind, as she was too unwell to hike!)
The trek up to the summit was when we got really confused with the blog. Crucially, I realised I hadn’t really read it. I just looked at the pictures and the arrows drawn on them to point the right directions and thought that was mega-clear! It turns out when you’re up at nearly 4km above sea level, directions such as “Follow the obvious path” are not so clear any more…
…so we wasted a bit of time getting lost and confused. And then we nearly got swept off the mountain by the aggressive wind, which we later found out was so strong that day that some guides had cancelled their ascents! But we powered on, and eventually made it up to the summit around 11.30am, which was one of the happiest moments of my life.
But the hardest thing about mountain ascents is coming back down…By this point we were exhausted from the altitude, a bad night’s sleep and the effort of fighting our way up against the wind. So when we finally returned to the refuge, around 1.30pm, all we wanted was to relax and have some food. Preferably a LOT of food. When the staff at the refuge offered us a tagine, of course we couldn’t refuse!
…We should have done. Instead of the 20 mins they promised us, it took a whole hour (Moroccan time runs slightly differently!), and it was tasteless, even for a group of hungry hikers! The refuges does not cook meat, so it was just vegetables, and it was overprices (around 300 dirhams for the whole thing, from memory). The food the night before was pretty disappointing too, for that matter – spaghetti with a tiny bit of tomato sauce, and not even any cheese or spices. But that is by the by.
The main issue was that when we eventually started the hike down, it was around 2.30pm. We hoped it would take a short 4 hours on the way down, but exhaustion, coupled with my recently twisted ankle which was giving me grief, had slowed us down. And this is how we ended up in the middle of the Atlas mountains in the dark, with no way of communicating our predicament to our friends down at Imlil.
It was a very tense couple of hours as we tried to find our way back. Nothing looks the same in the dark! The turns that would have been obvious if it were light looked entirely unfamiliar, and we couldn’t find the route off the main road to the village. The blog was useless at this point. At one point, we stopped a car driving towards us and asked for directions, but we had no clue what the driver actually said to us.
I don’t know how, but we managed to find the way back in the end, all of the time worried sick that something might have happened to the girls down at the village. It’s the middle of the night, in a quiet place, in a foreign country, after all. But they were fine, thank Goodness! Just worried, and doing everything they could to keep our pre-booked taxis from leaving – we had booked them for 8pm, and it was far later than that by this stage!
The two-hour drive back to Marrakesh was quiet and a little subdued. Our adventure had taken all our mental and physical strength. When we eventually got out of the taxis, our legs barely carried us.
But I wouldn’t have it any other way. It is a memory that will stay with me for the rest of my life, and it was totally awesome to share it with such a cool group of people! You know who you are 🙂 Here’s to more hazardous adventures together.
I would highly recommend this to anyone going to Morocco! For some other suggestions of things to do and to avoid, read my blog with some useful tips for first-time travellers to the country. And if you are into climbing – here is my account of a recent climbing trip to Morocco’s Todra Gorge.


"Best song in the history of music to date," West, who is also a music producer, wrote on Sunday. The billionaire singer shared a screenshot of the hit single’s cover.
Kanye West declares Wizkid’s ‘Essence’ best song in music history
American rapper Kanye West announced to his 17 million plus followers on Instagram that WizKid's hit single 'Essence' is the best song in music history.
Born Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, the Nigerian singer and songwriter collaborated with Elizabeth Otedola Temiloluwa, better known as Temi on the song, whose video has 105 million plus views on YouTube.
'Essence' is one of the jams on Wizkid’s fourth studio album 'Made In Lagos’, which was released in 2020.
The album, which has 14 tracks saw the 32-year-old crooner collaborate with Burna Boy on 'Ginger'.
'Essence' became the official summer track of 2021, topping the billboard chart following a remix featuring Canadian pop star Justin Bieber.
Released in 2020, the ballad has scooped multiple nominations at prestigious award ceremonies, including the Grammys and BET, where it bagged a gong for Best Collaboration.
In February, it won an award in the outstanding music video category at the 2022 edition of the NAACP Image Awards.
It was also recently certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) after selling over 500,000 copies in the US, a first for any African song.
In July of 2021, the song was announced as the first Nigerian song to feature on the Billboard Hot 100 and the third from Africa.
Trinidadian-born rapper, singer, and songwriter Nicki Minaj has said the Afrobeat jam deserves to be the song of the year at this year’s Grammys.

Google said it will shutter video game streaming service Stadia, its response to Microsoft’s XBox and Sony’s PlayStation video game consoles, in another sign of Google’s campaign to get smaller amid fears of an economic slowdown.
Phil Harrison, Stadia’s vice president and general manager, wrote Thursday in the newspaper Stadia, which streams games online rather than ordering expensive consoles, will shut down on January 18. Blog post. The product debuted nearly three years ago, promising to revolutionize the way people play video games. But it failed to catch up with enough players.
“It hasn’t gained as much traction with users as we expected, so we’ve made the difficult decision to start winding down Stadia,” Harrison wrote.
Mr. Harrison wrote that Google will return all gaming hardware purchases made through the Google Store, as well as game purchases made in the Stadia Store. He said the company expects to complete most of the refunds by mid-January.
The company has already begun selling Stadia’s core streaming technology to other companies, and said it expects that many Stadia team members “will continue this work in other parts of the company.” In February 2021, Google close Stadia’s in-house game studio has been set up to create new titles, sparking fears that the entire service may one day disappear.
Stadia is the latest product to come out killed by google. The company is set to shut down Hangouts, its messaging app, in November. And YouTube, a subsidiary of Google, announced in January that it would stop creating original content.
Amid rising inflation and concerns about economic instability, Google CEO Sundar Pichai has launched what he calls a “Simplicity Sprint,” an effort to improve business efficiency and cut unnecessary expenses. company recently cut off financing and jobs in the in-house technology incubator, named Zone 120, and has canceled Non-essential business travel.

A number of Minnesota Indian bands are not happy with what they claim is a lack of consultation over the controversial Enbridge oil pipeline across northern Minnesota.
While the route preferred by the Canadian pipeline doesn’t cross any Indian reservations, it does cross a large area of ceded territories where treaties gave tribes the right to gather rice and other wild edibles, fish and hunt in perpetuity.
Enbridge already hosted a three-hour meeting on the Fond du Lac Reservation last Thursday, May 28, a listening session the pipeline company organized at Black Bear Casino to discuss water safety and wild rice preservation. In addition to Fond du Lac, the company invited representatives from Leech Lake, White Earth and other tribes.
The pipeline issue is one that Fond du Lac is paying close attention to. Fond du Lac Chairwoman Karen Diver sent a letter to the executive secretary of the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission last fall regarding the proposed route for the Sandpiper line.
In her letter, Diver noted that the Band is responsible for protecting natural resources both on the reservation and in its ceded territories, and expressed concerns about the need “to protect Band self-sufficiency and cultural practices, such as harvesting wild rice within in the Big Sandy Lake and Kettle River watersheds” and with the lack of tribal consultation on the environmental review process and identifying culturally significant lands.
“The Alberta Clipper and Southern Lights projects have already impacted the Fond du Lac wetlands along the Enbridge pipeline corridor,” she wrote, talking about pipeline impacts on wetlands. “A Geographical Information Systems (GIS) analysis reveals up to 40 newly developed intermittent streams since the pipelines were installed.”
Other reservations are organizing their own pipeline meetings. The Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe plans its own public hearing next Friday on the proposed Sandpiper crude oil pipeline - the same day the state will decide whether to allow construction of the proposed project, which Enbridge Energy plans to use in order to transport oil more than 600 miles from wells in the Bakken region to refineries in Superior, Wis.
Mille Lacs Band Chief Executive Melanie Benjamin sent a letter dated May 27 imploring the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission to postpone deliberations scheduled for June 5.
"I again urge you to postpone the PUC vote on this matter until such time as the PUC Members have an opportunity to consider the views of the Native Americans who will be most impacted by potential spills," she wrote.
Susan Klapel, the tribe's commissioner of natural resources, said Thursday although the line is not planned to run through the reservation itself, a spill could still drastically affect the Rice Lake or Big Sandy Lake watersheds from which Mille Lacs draws water, including the reservation's wild rice beds.
"How important is rice or wheat to the rest of the United States?" she said. "We put wild rice right up there in that category. It's one of the reasons why we're here."
Benjamin said the consultation between state agencies and Indian tribes required by an executive order Gov. Mark Dayton issued in 2013 never occurred with the Mille Lacs Band in the case of the Sandpiper pipeline.
"There has been no consultation between the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe (as well as other impacted tribes) and the PUC, nor has Enbridge consulted with the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe," Benjamin said.
Copies of the letter were also sent to Gov. Mark Dayton, U.S. Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken, and U.S. Rep. Rick Nolan.
Benjamin's letter noted that none of the public hearings on Sandpiper took place on Indian reservations, "despite tribal requests that at least one hearing be located on an Indian reservation to afford tribal members an opportunity to engage in the hearing process."
PUC executive secretary Dan Wolf said last week it wasn't up to the PUC itself to determine the location of the hearings - rather, that decision fell to Administrative Law Judge Eric Lipman, the former Republican state legislator who presided over Sandpiper hearings earlier this year as a member of the state Office of Administrative Hearings. Lipman used testimony and evidence presented during the hearings to compile a report to the PUC. In April, Lipman recommended the PUC grant a certificate of need for the overall Sandpiper project.
There was opportunity for public comment beyond the hearings themselves, including submitting written comments.
In addition, Wolf said, there's a possibility hearings could be held on a reservation during the next permitting phase: approving a specific route for Sandpaper. The hearings would be held somewhere within counties on the proposed pipeline route, he said, and the PUC can request the hearings be held in a particular place. A new administrative law judge would oversee the route permit hearing process, Wolf said.
Contacted Thursday, Lipman declined to comment on the record, saying it would be against OAH policy.
The Mille Lacs hearing on Sandpiper is scheduled for 10 a.m. June 5 at the East Lake Community Center, south of McGregor, Minn. A hearing in White Earth is scheduled for 5 p.m. today (Thursday, June 4).
Reservation leaders have asked the commission to delay its decision until they submit reports from their hearings.

My third Volvo
Discovered Goodwin's a few years ago when my regular nonVolvo mechanic could not identify a problem with my V40. Goodwin's service department quickly and accurately identified the issue and fixed it. When it became time for a much newer car, Charlie C worked with me for 6+ months until a V50 came in. I feel I got a great deal and will continue to access Goodwin's for all maintenance and service. Overall excellent service.
Easy Buying Experience
Had a great experience at Goodwin's Volvo. Rich Armstrong was easy to work with us throughout the process. Got a good deal an I'm impressed with their willingness to do free scheduled maintenance for the first three years.

Exercise Stress Testing
An exercise stress test, also called a cardiac stress test, exercise ECG or stress test, is used to assess the range of ability of the heart. The idea of an exercise test is to objectively assess how well the heart functions during increased activity. It is a very good way to assess if the heart is healthy.
A stress test is a type of test used to determine how the heart responds to exertion, or stress caused by exercise. Stress tests can be used to help diagnose a problem with the heart's structure or function, to evaluate blood flow to the heart and to determine the effectiveness of treatment.
Most stress tests are performed using a treadmill or an excercise bicycle. In this test, your heart is evaluated using an electrocardiogram while you're walking on a treadmill. The speed and incline of the treadmill will go up gradually.
During the test you are carefully monitored to see what your heart rate and your blood pressure is doing. We also record the electrical activity of the heart through an ECG. An exercise treadmill test typically goes on for a maximum of 12 minutes. The average duration someone will walk for is around nine minutes.
Sometimes, medicine is used to increase the heart’s activity instead, for example in patients who cannot walk very well. This type of stress test may also be combined with imaging of the heart to physically see how well the heart is pumping. The imaging may be done with an ultrasound (called a stress echo) or MRI (called a stress MRI) or a nuclear scan (called a stress nuclear scan). The principle of all these tests is the same – to increase the workload of the heart and carefully monitor your blood pressure, heart rate and heart function.

The UK's largest steelworks is facing 'crunch time' over reducing carbon emissions, a professor has warned.
According to a report by the BBC, there have been warnings that Tata Steel’s Port Talbot plant could be closed if a deal isn't reached for subsidies to reduce carbon emissions.
Tata Steel said it was committed to cutting its impact on the environment and climate change.
Professor John Gibbins, director of the Carbon Capture and Storage Research Centre, said carbon capture and storage would allow the plant to make low or zero-carbon steel beyond 2050, and although the technology could cost up to £1bn and take years to implement, it would save jobs.
"This is crunch time, if that plant gets closed then God help us."Professor John Gibbins, director of the Carbon Capture and Storage Research Centre
He said: "This is something that will preserve jobs, real jobs. What needs to be done, is for the Welsh government first of all to latch onto the idea.
"This is crunch time, if that plant gets closed then God help us."
However, Cardiff University Business School economics professor, Calvin Jones, said carbon capture would not work at Port Talbot and would add ‘significantly’ to steelmaking costs, stating that 'carbon capture and storage has not been proved at commercial scale - for fossil energy generation or industry.'
"In the case of Port Talbot, there is simply nowhere near to store the carbon.''Calvin Jones, Cardiff University Business School economics professor
"In the case of Port Talbot, there is simply nowhere near to store the carbon. Newly leased UK storage sites are all in the North Sea.
"This will require either an entirely new CO2 pipe-distribution network, or a fleet of CO2 carrier ships to take Port Talbot's CO2 to where it can be geologically stored.
"Either will add very significantly to steelmaking costs."
Tata Steel has said that it is committed to cutting its impact on the environment and climate change, stating that its ambition is to produce net-zero steel by or before 2050, and to have reduced 30% of CO2 emissions by 2030.
A spokesman said: "The company continues to make progressive strides in reducing the environmental impact of its processes through innovation, investment and collaboration.
"Additionally, its steel products remain critical not only for UK manufacturing supply chains, but also in the UK's transition to a green economy."

Deepavali is one such unique festival celebrated all over India and Indians all over the world. Several traditional values mark this festival. In Hinduism it is Lord Rama’s return to Ayodhya after 14 years, who went to forest sacrificing his rights to ascend the throne of Ayodhya to fulfill the promise that His father had made to His step mother. Such was the greatness of Lord Rama who is revered by Hindus as God incarnation.
In South India traditionally this is the day when Lord Vishnu is supposed to have incarnated as Vamana and blessed Emperor Bali. Lord Vamana came to Bali asking for three steps of land. Bali was a great donor and never said no to anyone who came to his place. Legend has it that Lord Vamana being the Divine incarnation covered the whole of earth in one step and Sky in another. When Vamana asked Bali where to put the third step, realizing that it was none other than the Divine, emperor Bali bowed down and prayed to Lord to step on his head. Lord Vamana is said to have stepped on Bali’s head and pressed down so hard that sent Bali into the earth. This great sacrificial donation of his own life is celebrated as Deepavali. In Jainism, Mahaveer Jain’s Nirvana is celebrated as Deepavali. Sikhs celebrate it as Guru Nanak’s Enlightenment day. And so on the traditions go …
Essentially it is the festival of lights. Triumph of good over bad, nobility over evil, knowledge over ignorance, happiness over unhappiness. All these things can happen perfectly when one Realizes the Self as Ultimate Supreme Immortal Existence in Supreme Peace. Conscious Awareness needs to be gained. Some guru’s tell the devotees that one is already Realized. This is misunderstood by many and they do not put an effort to regain that Awareness. Whatever one is in real existence, one needs to gain the awareness of that in consciousness. As long as the mind is wandering in illusion of imagination of this world and pursuing its desires of this worldly objects it never gets any peace and consciously would remain in forgetfulness of one’s own existence as Immortal Soul that is the combination of Supreme Consciousness and Supreme Energy. The real illumination of Deepavali within has to happen by regaining the awareness of one’s own Self as THAT Supreme Consciousness of Existence. For this one must put in efforts and do sadhana to achieve. This is the essence of spirituality and festivals like Deepavali. Only then there is Permanent Supreme Peace which is the very nature of the Real SELF. The darkness of evil that is in the mind needs to be purified and awareness of illumination of SELF needs to be achieved. Then the whole world can have permanent happiness and peace. Without practice, this cannot be achieved. May the Divine illuminate the spiritual heart known as mind which is actually a spark of the Supreme Consciousness, the Real Self. May all beings in all the worlds be happy.
With love and blessings,
5th November 2010.

“You are what you eat! Eat animal fat and you’re a fat animal!” This maxim was so universally accepted it would not be surprising to find it embroidered on a pillow. Like many other received truths, this one turns out to be not exactly true.
In one of the biggest (and longest, at 50 years) con games ever perpetrated, an unsuspecting public was sold a bill of goods. Last year the world learned about the duplicity of the sugar industry, which paid obesity researchers to blame fat rather than sugar. But even before that, some people had questioned the orthodoxy.
The Guardian‘s Joanna Blythman pointed out two things wrong with the blanket warnings against animal fats, and especially red meat. First, few of the frantic doomsayers took the time to differentiate between extensively processed factory-farm product laced with preservatives and other chemical additives, and fresh meat from decently raised animals.
Meanwhile, no government authority has bothered to tell us that lamb, beef and game from free-range, grass-fed animals is a top source of conjugated linoleic acid, the micronutrient that reduces our risk of cancer, obesity and diabetes.
Evidence continued to stack up, refuting the claims that saturated fat is all, and always, bad. A meta-study carried out by the British Heart Foundation examined 72 studies that encompassed the health histories of more than 600,000 subjects. Astonishingly, it found that the consumption of saturated fat did not really line up with risk for coronary disease.
This revelation was the equivalent of declaring that the earth revolves around the sun, when for centuries everyone was convinced that the opposite was true. The establishment did not want to accept the obvious, and even the British Heart Foundation itself balked at giving an on-the-record endorsement. A representative told the press that there was not enough evidence to confidently issue new healthy eating guidelines, so the meta-study’s findings “did not change the advice that eating too much fat is harmful for the heart.”
Egg-lovers suffered for years because of the unimpeachable “fact” that we should eat no more than two eggs a week, because they contained heart-stopping cholesterol. Chicken farmers went out of business, and people learned to eat tortuously processed, sugar-saturated grain atrocities for breakfast. Then it turned out that eggs are not hazardous after all.
People were advised to shun butter, lard and other saturated fats, and taught to prefer margarine. Around 2010, the industry finally admitted that “the chemical process for hardening polyunsaturated oils in margarines and spreads created artery-clogging trans-fats.” Meanwhile, other research indicated that protein and natural fat are “the two most useful macronutrients.”
Low-fat processed foods are not remarkably delicious on their own. Add massive injections of sugar and salt, wrap it in a gaudy package, and they’ve got a winner. By promoting ignorance and spreading propaganda, the industry had its way.
The writer notes that…
The crucial phrase “avoid processed food” appears nowhere in government nutritional guidelines…
Yet that warning would save more lives than any other.
Your responses and feedback are welcome!

A Smile Makes Life More Beautiful Nancy R. DiPietro, D.D.S. / Steven D. Danzig, D.D.S. 2 Rolling Road, Wynnewood, PA 19096 610 896-6361 www.ddfamilydental.com Fall 2014/ Winter 2015 Long Lasting Senior Smiles Dental issues and needs change with every stage of life. Senior citizens have unique dental concerns and challenges, but it is realistic with modern materials and techniques to have good dental health. Many seniors have dry mouth as a side effect of medications or certain conditions such as diabetes or anemia or from radiation treatments. People with dry mouth are more likely to have bad breath and to form cavities. Gum disease is another senior concern. Bacteria in plaque can cause gum (periodontal) disease which is the leading cause of adult tooth loss. According to the American Cancer Society, the average age for diagnosis of cancer is 62. Oral cancer can be deadly and early detection is essential. Some recommendations are: Using oral moisturizers Keeping well hydrated Using sugar free lozenges or gum to stimulate saliva Using a humidifier Eating a healthy diet, low in acidic and sugary foods and high in calcium rich foods. Brush teeth two times a day and floss once a day. Dentist applied fluoride or varnish to help protect teeth from decay. The single most important beneficial thing to do for good oral health is to visit the dentist regularly for cleaning and oral exams. To Enhance Your Appointment: WI-FI ACCESS iPads in our treatment rooms! Great for: Patient Education Games for kids Confirmations by Phone, email or Text Cracked Tooth Solutions A chipped or cracked tooth can detract from your smile. It can cut lips, cheeks or tongue, give decay a place to form or break further. Bonding, porcelain veneers or crowns are ways to treat your damaged tooth. An occlusal guard may be suggested if clenching or grinding is suspected. However, some cracks are not readily seen or even detected by xray. An intra-oral camera can aid in the detection of cracks when they are small. Call to schedule a 15 minute appointment for a free intra-oral camera exam.

OFFICE NEWS Sucking is a natural reflex for babies that starts before they are born. Besides a reflex needed for nourishment from breast or bottle feeding, sucking serves as a mechanism for comfort from pacifiers, fingers or hands. Most sucking habits are not harmful to a baby’s mouth or teeth. However, frequent sucking or sipping anything other than water from a bottle or sipping cup may increase the risk of developing early and extensive tooth decay. While breast feeding is a healthy practice, continuous breast feeding can still increase the risk of decay. Don’t try to calm a fussy baby by dipping a pacifier in honey or sugar water. If pacifier use continues after a baby’s teeth start to fall out, it can cause shifting of the front teeth, misalignment of the jaws and a narrower roof of the mouth. Use positive reinforcement to encourage older children to give up the pacifier. 6 1/2 years after the birth of her second son, Caroline is back in our office as a full time dental assistant. New Roles As empty nesters, Drs. DiPietro and Danzig have decided to help underserved areas of dentistry on their day off. Dr. Danzig will be part of a mobile team providing dentistry to PA seniors in nursing home facilities as of December 2014. Dr. DiPietro will return to her alma matter, Temple University Kornberg School of Dentistry, as an adjunct clinical faculty member in Spring 2015. 10 Fun Dental Facts 1) Tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the human body, but don’t use those pearly whites to bite anything harder than food! 2) The most popular toothbrush color is blue. What color is yours? 3) The average person spends about 38 seconds per day brushing their teeth, but dentists recommend brushing 2 minutes twice a day. 4) The amount of dental floss bought per person per year is 18 yards. The amount that should be bought is 122 yards (about 1 foot a day). If you don’t floss, you miss 40% of your tooth surfaces. Make sure to floss daily. 5) Teeth are as unique as fingerprints. Even identical twins have different dental patterns. 6) The Statue of Liberty’s mouth is 3 feet wide. 7) People who drink 3 or more sugary sodas daily have 62% more dental decay, fillings and tooth loss. Quench your thirst with water. 8) The average human produces 25,000 quarts of saliva in a lifetime — enough to fill 2 swimming pools. 9) Contrary to popular belief, George Washington’s dentures weren't made of wood. His 4 pairs were crafted from gold, ivory, lead and a mixture of human, donkey and hippopotamus teeth. Take care of your teeth to avoid custom chompers. 10) It seems children have the right idea about smiling; they smile about 400 times a day! Women smile about 62 times a day compared to men who smile 8 times a day on average.

To the Editor:
In ''Don't Forget the Addict's Role in Addiction'' (Op-Ed, April 4), Sally L. Satel notes that researchers have found a link between the amount of alcohol consumed by alcoholics and the cost of it and the effort required to obtain it. She concludes that ''alcoholics respond to rewards and consequences, not just to physiology.''
The next questions should be: Why is fortified alcohol so inexpensive, and whose economic interests are being served by the low price?
What are the conditions in society that might lead someone to use alcohol to numb his pain?

Frankfurt am Main (Germany), Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), 6 November 2019. The world’s leading Internet Exchange (IX) operator DE-CIX is taking its global interconnection success model to the next level and will be entering South East Asia. DE-CIX and the local Malaysian Internet Exchange provider JBIX are announcing their partnership and will run together two Internet Exchanges in the greater Kuala Lumpur and the Johor Bahru region – with more to come on the Malaysian peninsula. DE-CIX is therefore expanding its interconnection equator to its most eastern point to date. In addition to offering the advantage of local IXs in these markets, DE-CIX will also introduce a shared interconnection fabric where participants of both Exchanges will be able to interconnect. DE-CIX will also make its award-winning DE-CIX Apollon interconnection solutions available to all locations, allowing the provisioning of different
interconnection services like peering and cloud exchange.
“After successfully establishing leading IXs in Europe, North America, India, and the Middle East, DE-CIX is now taking its almost 25 years of experience to South East Asia. DE-CIX has a proven record of accomplishment in successfully creating interconnection hubs worldwide, in regions where customers are in need of easy-to-access interconnection services. While Singapore has been a major content hub for the region for the last decade, the key content and cloud-computing players have started to extend their footprint throughout ASEAN – including in Malaysia,” says Ivo Ivanov, CEO of DE-CIX International.
As a result of the new joint venture in between DE-CIX and Starwing Technologies Sdn. Bhd. group, the new company is to be called DE-CIX Malaysia and will be headquartered in the country’s capital city of Kuala Lumpur. The new joint venture company “DE-CIX Malaysia” will collectively take over the Johor Bahru Internet Exchange (JBIX), which is the second IX in Malaysia. JBIX is an open and carrier class IX run by a team of certified network experts and has been operational since 2018. As of today, JBIX serves close to 50 regional networks.
“Since its launch one year ago, JBIX has received tremendous support from local, regional and global networks. Their support has not only helped JBIX to become one of the fastest growing IXs in the region, it has also underlined the strategic advantages JBIX has to offer to itsparticipants. Our partnership with DE-CIX will help to accelerate the development of connectivity hubs in the country, which is an exercise that synergizes with the Malaysian Government’s initiative in promoting 5G, IoT and digital businesses,” Weng Yew Wong, Managing Director of JBIX.
“Beyond establishing the world’s leading IX in Frankfurt (Germany), DE-CIX’s international expansion is unrivaled. DE-CIX has created the leading neutral IX on the North American East Coast with DE-CIX New York; the fastest growing IX on the planet since its inception in 2016 with DE-CIX Madrid; and most successfully entered the Indian market in 2018, establishing interconnection hubs in Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata and Delhi. Now it’s time for South East Asia,” Ivanov closes.
Welcoming the announcement, Surina Shukri, MDEC’s Chief Executive Officer commented: “Over the past two decades, the world has witnessed revolutionary changes in how consumers and businesses connect through technology. This latest initiative is aligned to Malaysia’s goal to become a regional digital powerhouse in the era of the Fourth IR and ensure the digital economy will drive shared prosperity for all. “
DE-CIX currently operates IXs in 18 metropolitan regions around the globe (excluding Malaysia). DE-CIX in Frankfurt is the world’s leading IX with a peak traffic of more than 7.5 terabits per second (Tbps) and more than 900 connected networks. At the individual locations, Internet service providers, network operators, content delivery networks, and enterprises exchange data traffic on a cost-neutral basis through so-called “peering”, so that the data packets get to the recipient via the fastest and most inexpensive path.
DE-CIX is the world’s leading Internet Exchange operator. Having started operations in 1995, DE-CIX in Frankfurt am Main is the Internet Exchange (IX) with the world’s highest data throughput at peak times, at more than 7.5 Terabits per second (Tbps). Its technical infrastructure has a total capacity of 48 Terabits.
In total, DE-CIX serves over 1700 network operators, Internet service providers (ISPs), and content providers from more than 100 countries with peering and interconnection services at its 18 locations (excluding Malaysia) in Europe, the Middle East, India, and North America. Further information at www.de-cix.net
Johor Bahru Internet Exchange (JBIX) is the latest Internet Exchange Point offering in Malaysia. It is located in Johor Bahru, the southern-most city of the Peninsular Malaysia. The Open DC data centre (where JBIX is hosted) is located at an MSC-status building 2KM away from the causeway linking Singapore and Malaysia.
JBIX is an open, carrier-neutral, membership-free Internet Exchange Point run by a team of certified network experts. The Internet Exchange Point runs on a carrier-grade high capacity low latency switching platform that can scale from 10 Gigabit up to Terabit capacity.
We built the JBIX to serve the Internet community in the region. The business plan is based on cost recovery model, meaning the port charges is maintained at the lowest price possible to attract more users. As more networks join JBIX, the port charges will be revised to bring saving to all the users.
JBIX is currently run and maintained by the Open DC IP Core network team. Open DC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Extreme Broadband Sdn. Bhd., a licensed ISP in Malaysia

Find out how someone really is
Advice from Roberta Pomponio our Mental Health Lead
No one wants to feel like they’re being interrogated. But we can try and get a conversation started by asking a question or two. If they aren’t interested in talking, that’s OK too.
- How have you been?
“How are you?” is most used as a figure of speech. It tends to generate a pleasant reply like, “Fine, thanks for asking.”
If you really want to know how someone is doing, however, ask again later in the conversation. Cut through the small talk and show them that you really want to know about their well-being.
You might point out an observation like, “I notice you haven’t been going for your walks lately. Is everything OK?”
Or you might talk about a difficult experience the person has gone through by saying, “I’ve been meaning to ask, how have you been doing since your dog passed away?”
Give the other person time to respond without any interruptions. Be careful not to make any jokes as a way to ease the tension. Instead, show you can handle just sitting with the other person’s pain if they choose to share it.
- How’s your stress level lately?
Sometimes it’s easier to talk about an external force like stress rather than an internal problem like anxiety. So asking someone about their stress level may feel less threatening than outright asking about their mental state. Yet it could lead to a similar conversation about mental health.
- Have you been eating and sleeping?
Sometimes, people feel comfortable sharing tangible evidence that they’re in pain without actually saying they’re hurting. And quite often, sleep and appetite are impacted by mental health. So someone who is having a hard time might say, “I haven’t been hungry lately,” or “I haven’t slept for a whole week.”
The answers to those questions may give you an opening to talk more. Show empathy by acknowledging their pain, and make it clear that you want them to feel better.
You might say something like, “That must be really rough. Have you thought about talking to your doctor about that?”
- Is there anything you want to talk about?
Sometimes people need assurance that it’s OK to talk about tough subjects. Inviting them to do so can move the conversation move from superficial subjects to more meaningful topics.
If they aren’t interested in talking about anything, don’t pry, though. Just let them know you’re willing to listen if they ever do want to talk.
- Would you be willing to talk to someone?
Your loved one might be on the fence about talking to a therapist. Asking them if they’d consider professional help in a non-judgmental way could encourage them to do it. If they haven’t been thinking about it, mentioning therapy may at least open their mind to the idea. Asking this question might also show there’s no need to be embarrassed about seeing a therapist. If they show interest in getting help you could offer to help them schedule an appointment, or you might even offer to take them.
It can also be helpful to remind the person that they can talk to an online therapist. For many people, online therapy feels less intimidating than seeing a therapist face-to-face.
- What can I do for you?
I know we all want to help and we are very kind with people but please do not take anybody’s personal details just signpost them to any help may be available for example the 24/7 mental health crisis line which is open to anyone.
If anyone needs urgent support for their (or someone they know) mental health, please invite them to call CWP’s mental health helpline on 0800 145 6485 and their dedicated local staff will support them to access the help they need. The phone line is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and is open to people of all ages – including children and young people.
The phone line is now the first port of call for mental health help – it is operated by people in your local area who will know how best to support you. If you call NHS111 you may have to wait longer for help and will be re-directed to this local service – so call 0800 145 6485.
Please note, A&E and 999 are not the best places to get help for the majority of mental health problems – call 0800 145 6485 to be directed to the best local service to support you.
You should still call 999 or go to A&E if you have an immediate, life-threatening emergency requiring mental or physical health assistance.

Seven Starling, a platform supporting parents from pregnancy through parenthood, is launching today and announcing a $2.9M raise. The seed round was led by Pear VC, Expa and Magnify Ventures.
On Seven Starling parents-to-be and new parents connect in peer groups with no more than 10 others led by experienced doulas. The program, that follows Seven Starling’s proprietary evidence-based curriculum, is cohort-based, guides and supports moms and dads during pregnancy and the first year of parenthood. Groups are matched based on the parents’ unique goals and needs. According to research expert-led group care is proven to improve maternal health outcomes. New mothers with higher levels of social support are 2x less likely to develop postpartum depression, and parents that participate in group care see a 36% reduction in preterm births.
Seven Starling’s platform also makes doula support more accessible and affordable for all. Research shows that doulas are an important yet underused resource in improving maternal health outcomes and reducing the cost of care. But, they’ve historically been out of reach for many. Depending on the level of experience and services provided, a doula can cost between $800 and $2,500. For $37 a month, Seven Starling’s membership program gives parents access to a dedicated doula in addition to the benefits of group care.
“Our goal is for parents to feel empowered during pregnancy and early parenthood. New and expectant parents often feel isolated and overwhelmed — even more so during the pandemic. Seven Starling offers parents access to doulas and peers who quickly become invaluable partners in the pregnancy and parenting journey. The results are more meaningful connections and better maternal health outcomes,” said Tina Beilinson, CEO and Co-Founder of Seven Starling.
Community is core to Seven Starling’s offering today. And while the company has experimented with different models of delivery and programs, they found that the personal connections within cohorts really made all the difference – both in engagement and outcomes. The weekly sessions offered today as part of the doula-led program are part education, part discussion and allow parents to openly share their experiences, thoughts, but also concerns. One interesting learning Tina Beilinson shared in our interview was that before birth many parents don’t think much about the postpartum period, something that the company is actively trying to change by offering more in-depth education and information about topics like postpartum depression and anxiety, that many mothers experience after birth.
The program is designed to be complimentary for 95% of women who see an OB/GYN during their pregnancy and is available throughout the U.S. During the company’s beta phase, Seven Starling worked with hundreds of parents supporting them through pregnancy and postpartum. For parents in rural communities with limited access to doulas and local peer groups, the platform provides a critical lifeline for connection and support.
Following its official launch today, the company is now looking to develop more partnerships with healthcare organizations A first cooperation with Inflect Health, Vituity’s innovation hub, allows Seven Starling to reach a network of providers and clinics that serves 6.5 million patients each year across 400 practice locations.
“Seven Starling is building the kind of safe and responsible online community that we sorely need as we spend more and more time online,” said Mar Hershenson, Founding Managing Partner at Pear VC. “By enabling meaningful relationships to develop in a trusted environment, Seven Starling advances an exciting new vision for the future of community-building and care-giving online. This platform has the potential to transform essential parts of the human experience, starting with parenthood.”

4 Killer Tips on Promoting Content through Social Media
Listen first, and then write.
Before you start writing content, it’s recommended that you first listen to what your readers are saying on the Web and understand what intrigues them. This will help you formulate articles that resonate with their needs. For instance, if you’re a Vancouver tourism blogger and you discover that a vast majority of your readers are going to Whistler for Christmas, you can publish an article on the different activities your readers can do on the mountain. This will help you gain readership and social share as your readers will likely share the piece with friends who are seeking similar advice.
Pose questions in your social statuses.
You can ask questions in your social statuses when sharing content to build curiosity. For instance, instead of saying “Check out this article for places to visit in Whistler,” you can ask “Want to know the best places to visit in Whistler?” to generate interests from your readers. While the former can still generate moderate traffic as the bluntness of the headline can capture some readers’ attention, the latter cultivates a sense of curiosity and can entice more readers to irresistibly read your content.
Use nanotargeting to promote to specific individuals.
You can use nanotargeting on Facebook to target particular readers. Nanotargeting is defined by Likeable Social Media as “a concept similar to hypertargeting but with search criteria so narrow that you can target one individual amongst hundreds of millions.” With nanotargeting, you can use Facebook’s advertising filters to push your content to specific readers who are more likely to read your articles based on their age, interests, education, and so forth. Now with Facebook’s tweak in its advertising algorithm to help advertisers better reach qualified prospects, nanotargeting will become an even more powerful tool.
Ask your fans to spread the good word.
You can ask your social followers to share your content on their Facebook, Twitter, or Google+ pages to help you spread the good word! In traditional marketing, if a customer gives you positive feedback about your products or services, you will first thank him for the kind words and then ask him to let his friends know about your goods or services. Now with the advent of social networks, you can ask your supporters to share your content with hundreds or even thousands of people online. This will not only help boost your readership, but also allow you to convert more consumers or readers into brand advocates. With this strengthened brand loyalty, you will be able to improve your circulation in the long run.

Consumers went out to spend with gusto during January with retail sales climbing 0.6 per cent during the month and a whopping 10.7 per cent on January 2020, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
The big yearly rise demonstrated that consumers are confident and have cash in their pockets following record savings levels during the pandemic.
The big year-on-year rise also demonstrates how retail sales were slugged last January by the bushfire crisis that gripped the Eastern states.
The rise in January followed a 4.1 per cent fall in December that was in part affected by COVID-19 outbreaks in NSW.
Ben James, ABS quarterly surveys director said: “There continues to be variations in retail sales between states and territories, as COVID-19 restrictions are tightened or eased in different parts of the country.”
Australian Retailers Association CEO Paul Zahra said “while it’s pleasing to see sales strengthen through January, there are pockets of retail at breaking point with the looming end of JobKeeper”.
“Retailers had a really strong finish to the year and that’s now continued through to January. However, it doesn’t paint a complete picture of what the sector is going through,” he said.
All states and territories saw retail turnover rise in January, except Queensland (-1.5 per cent), where a three-day lockdown hit trade. NSW (1.0 per cent) led the rises, as restrictions that began in December were eased during January.
Food retailing led the rises as consumers hit the supermarkets after staying away in December 2020.
There were falls in clothing, footwear and personal accessory retailing, household goods retailing, and department stores, which all saw impacts from interrupted trade in Queensland, the ABS said.
EY chief economist Jo Masters said retail trade “continues to benefit from the shift towards spending on goods over services. Interestingly, however, we are starting to see some rebalancing with spending on clothing, footwear and personal accessory retailing, household goods retailing, and department stores all falling in January.
“This is likely a combination of restrictions easing (so more opportunity to spend on services) and the fact that many goods – such as a new TV or fridge – are purchased only once,” Ms Masters said.
Mr Zahra said that the windback of JobKeeper in March would hit spending as the year progressed.
“According to ARA strategic partner Deloitte, there’ll be close to $5 billion less in government support flowing through the economy each month,” he said.
“Travel retailers, in particular, are at breaking point and are preparing to shed thousands of jobs. These are businesses operating within airports and CBD tourist shopping strips that remain largely deserted.”

The Immortals - Books 1-3 - Monica La Porta Summary
The Chains of Love are stronger than the Bonds of Revenge Long after the gladiators fought in the Coliseum, ancient evils wander the streets of Rome. Only a few heroes have the power to stop them. Among them, a group of friends whose fate and the gods’ whims have united in immortality. Follow Marcus, Alexander, and Samuel as they battle their inner demons and try to save the world and their loved ones at the same time. The Lost Centurion The chains of Love are stronger than the bonds of Revenge The Roman centurion Marcus has sworn to avenge his wife's death—even if it takes an eternity to hunt down the vampire who murdered her. Turned immortal by a capricious god, for the last two thousand years, Marcus has been living a life devoid of love, consumed by his hatred for the vampire race. Until the night he rescues one of them, a frail newborn vampling, Diana, and she becomes his responsibility. Tortured by his past and hunted by vampires, Marcus must choose between avenging his dead wife or saving Diana from the same man who ruined his life, only to discover that not everything is what it appears to be. The Immortal Greek Alexander Drako: handsome, famous, rich, and on the cover of every tabloid in Europe. He has done it all and seen it all. Born a Greek in the times of the Roman Empire, he was chosen by a capricious goddess as one of her immortal followers. With his surfer good looks and a playboy disposition, Alexander has been living the life every man dreams of, at least for the last two thousand years. Tall, elegant, and unapproachable, Ravenna Del Sarto is the perfect example of a modern career woman. An enforcer for the Immortal Council, she brings the bad guys of the paranormal world to justice. She doesn’t have time for fun and has zero tolerance for playboys. During the highly anticipated End of Summer party, a young immortal commits suicide by jumping from Alexander’s balcony and Ravenna is called to investigate the death. Alexander quickly learns that not only Ravenna’s walls are impenetrable to his easy smile, but she is also bringing him up on charges. Will she detain him? Or will his legendary charms help him out of this one? The Broken Angel Betrayed by the man he loved and stranded on Earth after losing his powers, Samuel is alone and broken. His black angel’s wings maimed and useless, he must go on living despite the searing pain in his heart. Unable to find peace on his own, but trying to restore it among the multitude of races composing the paranormal world, Samuel works at the Immortal Council headquarters in Rome as a liaison between species. As the only fallen angel on Earth and despised by his former brethren, Samuel doesn’t belong anywhere. The only place where he feels at home is the gym owned by his friend Alexander Drako. Even though among the humans he must hide his true form and appear as a cripple, Samuel cherishes the hours spent in the old gymnasium, sparring away his troubles. Martina’s life has been transformed from fairy tale to nightmare by her abusive and rich husband. A pro bono lawyer for women in need, she can’t seem to find a way to help herself. Afraid of Martina’s ex-husband’s powerful family, the authorities deny her justice and even her friends and family have deserted her. She is all alone in the world and solely dedicated to her job. Martina’s only break from her dreary reality is when she trains at Drako’s gym. One day, Drako asks her to spar with one of his friends, and she meets Samuel, a defenseless cripple who inspires Martina to protect him from the ugliness of the world. A friendship blossoms between two broken souls. But fate doesn’t seem to smile on them. Coming from two different worlds, Samuel and Martina will soon have to fight both paranormals and humans for their right to be together..

Once every few weeks a new movie or TV show on Netflix seems to grab the attention of everyone, if at least for a brief moment. ‘Bird Box,’ ‘You,’ as recent examples, but Netflix thrives on getting people talking about the content available in their library.
Right now, the flavor of the week appears to be new Ted Bundy documentary ‘Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes’
Similar to how the serial killer wooed men and women alike with his charm while alive, even after being convicted of brutal murders, the documentary puts this in front of a new audience, and they have had an… interesting response.
A quick browse around social media, with everyone talking about the series, plenty of random internet commentators have noted how attractive Bundy comes across in the docu-series.
Netflix responded this morning with a tweet requesting that people stop calling the serial killer ‘hot’ and that there are plenty of other attractive people in their other Netflix original shows.
I’ve seen a lot of talk about Ted Bundy’s alleged hotness and would like to gently remind everyone that there are literally THOUSANDS of hot men on the service — almost all of whom are not convicted serial murderers

Louise creates a solidarity project
« What I like best in this company is the freedom to experiment!
Four years ago, I defended before General Management my solidarity partnership project with the Emmaüs charity, the first partnership of this kind within the group. The project, which focused on the fight against sub-standard housing, was immediately appreciated by the Management, who authorised me to promote it within Nacarat: it consists of organising solidarity days (staff do voluntary paint work, help decorate the homes of needy people, assist with selling homes), actions for collecting funds or used objects, and practising skill-based philanthropy.
As a result, three great years of partnership with and actions in favour of the Emmaüs charity were made possible thanks to trust in the ideas submitted by staff members! »
