Actually, I feel a bit pissed because I just picked up from Malaysiakini the follow excerpt :
Thailand said Thursday it would provide 500,000 tonnes of rice to Malaysia in an emergency purchase as the latter’s national stockpile had enough supplies to last only 15 days.
Don’t you feel angry too? Such news will cause more people hoarding rice. This morning, my hubby already told me that the regular Thai fragrant rice we bought has increased by RM10. That is a 45% price increase. No doubt we know there is a rice shortage, it certainly does not meant that we are all going to be starved to death in a famine.
Talking about that, let’s pray that the victims of the cyclone in Myanmar will receive the help they need. Fast.
Can you believe that a country such as ours, which used to be covered with sprawling green paddy field can face a rice shortage? I say it is bad planning. And bad Governance. Development projects were carried out without proper planning. It was just built, built, built because there are money to be made there. So, all those paddy fields were wiped off. The above beautiful green sawah padi is from Balik Pulau, the only place in Penang which has a few acres of paddy fields left.
So, how do we counter this? Eat less rice. Rice makes you fat. Cook porridge. You just need half the quantity you normally use for rice to make porridge. Add some sweet potatoes for bulk.
Of course, I cook porridge today not because of rice shortage. I cook it because I figure out, one of these days I am going to need to prepare recipes using less rice. But I didn’t expect we would come to this situation this fast.
Salted fish. This is not cheap salted fish but darn expensive ‘mui heong’ salted fish. I wonder if one day, we are going to eat these not as delicacies but as our staple because of rice shortage and fish shortage?

Ballet dancers are artists and art reflects humanity. Therefore, ballet dancers must be highly in tune with their own humanity in order for their art to resonate. Most people drawn to pursuing the arts experience feelings in a profoundly deep way. The world around them seeps in and causes emotions to kind of firework about inside. This spurs on ideas and concepts and brilliant pieces of expression are born.
The ballet class, by nature, is not an overly warm environment. Not because dancers are cold individuals, but because we go to ballet to work. Work hard. Time is limited, and much needs to be done. Class is methodical, corrections are everywhere, praise is sparse, and competition is high—even if it is not a “competition” studio. Ballet training is not the place for emotions.
Or is it?
Identify Our Needs
We all have our own threshold; needing our needs to be heard, understood, and met. Some of us have higher needs than others. But we all have them. No matter how thick the skin is, the needs still remain; under the surface, with the potential to become sinister and poisonous.
Ballet class is an ideal place to identify and label these needs because so much of our inner selves is on full display in the studio. Fears, passions, insecurities, strengths, dreams, dislikes—just to name a few. The trick is to learn how to use our emotional needs to our advantage as opposed to allowing them to take over and drive our experience.
So, how do we help our students navigate the world inside their heads? Especially those students with exceptionally high emotional needs?
Get The Feelings Out
Encourage your students to express the feelings in some way, be that journaling, choreographing a dance, talking with someone, etc. The longer the feelings remain suppressed, the more damage they do.
Tell Your Teacher
Students never want to look weak in front of us yet they allow themselves to fail in front of us every single day. Asking them to go a step further and tell us their secrets—it’s a big ask to say the least. But it is the only way for us to know how to help them. We don’t need to know it all of course, but we need to know things like . . .
“When I look at myself in a leotard, I feel ugly and gross”, or
“When I forget a combination, I feel stupid and like I am the worst one in class”, or
“When you spotlight me in class, I just want to disappear and never be seen”, or
“I love ballet and I love performing, but when I am in ballet class I am miserable and want to quit.”
Thoughts like this are things teachers need to know because they will inform how we choose to interact with that student. It will help us teach more wisely.
Make Your Weakness Your Strength
High emotional needs are often seen as weaknesses. I disagree with this idea. The more we feel, the more authentic our art. The better we become at identifying and labeling our feelings, the more organized our thoughts become. The more honesty and transparency we put into our daily lives, the braver we become with facing challenges. Emotional needs, when embraced and uplifted, bring amazing results to ballet dancers—both technically and artistically.

Chronos: Before the Ashes was once a VR exclusive on the Oculus Rift that launched in 2016. Unbeknownst to me, I didn’t realize it was developed by Gunfire Games or that the game even existed up until recently when it was revealed to be coming to consoles. As it were, it did reasonably well as an exclusive but now that the game has hit a wider audience, how does it fare as a third-person action-adventure title? Surprisingly decent, and for fans of Remnant: From the Ashes, this serves as a prequel to last year’s hit that does enough but never really hits any highs.
While a lot of the game remains faithful to the VR-exclusive, there have been adjustments made to appeal to a wider audience who don’t have an Oculus to play this on. Gunfire’s retooling of the controls and camera angles serve the game decently but you know that this was never the intended idea when the developer released this game.
While Remnant: From the Ashes combines the use of guns with the mechanics of a Souls games, and surprisingly played well. The mechanics were sound and the gameplay was engaging. I spent about 30 hours with it when it launched on Xbox Game Pass before calling it quits. Hearing this was a prequel to that, I was a bit worried I’d burn out faster than I did with the original and while this game is more traditional, it still uses similar mechanics that are hard to play with for an extended period.
So, what’s Chronos: Before the Ashes exactly about? Well, it’s set within an interconnected world and takes place roughly a month or so before Remnant: From the Ashes. The mythology and story are rather interesting and you play as a young, unnamed hero tasked who must descend into the Labyrinth, a place that opens once a year in-game. The interesting mechanic the game offers is how time is utilized and how if you fail in the Labyrinth, you must wait a whole year to be able to return. I found the mechanic to be refreshing and the reasoning behind using such a young protagonist makes sense, and the longer you play, your character ages, so your stats like strength begin higher and begin to drop the older you get in-game.
To balance this, you can use traits to make your time in the Labyrinth to make each visit easier, and these occur during larger 10-year increments. And I noticed my character’s appearance change over time, looking older with time. It’s a neat way to show progression.
Incidentally, the combat uses the familiar light and heavy attacks paired with the ability to parry and dodge attacks. The opening hours ease you into the action but never really take off. Combat is often easy but can feel a bit sluggish at times and the use of a Dragon Heart lets players heal when needed and refills each run. There is no stamina to worry about and the lock-on targeting works but often leaves the camera in odd positions. Paired with several enemy types, you’ll be tasked with learning their patterns and parry them but I had little trouble with their tells and combat falls flat in this regard.
With the action being slower than Remnant: From the Ashes, a lot of the enemies are centered around personal encounters when compared to large groups of enemies in Remnant. Bosses are also not up to par with what ones you’d encounter in a proper Souls game, and they fall much easier.
Puzzles also play a role within the game with comparisons to The Legend of Zelda series but I was never able to find the connection. If anything, I can say it seems like it pays homage to the Resident Evil series by collecting items then using them later on to discover new pathways, doors, and what have you. None of the puzzles are challenging so I’m a bit disappointed in that regard.
Chronos: Before the Ashes is a decent game but shows its shackles from the Oculus Rift exclusivity. Do I like the game for what it is? I do, but it comes at a time where games like Demon’s Souls recently launched. But it’s a more cartoonish take on the Souls series with some decent ideas, interesting lore, and interesting enemies to tackle. Combat is also much more forgiving than any clones so you can get away with outlandish mistakes and not be penalized. For what it offers, the game is decent but it’s nothing you won’t get the fear of missing out on.

Home owners in Raven Rock Estates in Lee have alleged numerous problems with their newly constructed duplex homes that they purchased from Legend Developers LLC. In May '08 a state review board denied a fire-code variance for inadequate fire-walls between units. Later that summer, the developer acknowledged violations, which totaled 116, signed a Consent Order with the OC Health Dept., and promised to fix the violations by Sept. 30 in return for the County waiving most of a $118,000 fine. Time passed, but by November '08, residents were still frustrated. However, the County apparently felt that things were progressing, and did not seem to feel there was a problem.
[OCHD Attorney] Miga says he understands the residents are frustrated, but the health department has done its job to oversee what it is supposed to in its jurisdiction.
"They have met their deadlines and we have reviewed everything. The conditional approval either has gone out or is about to go out. I don't anticipate that there's going to be any additional fines," Miga said "They have paid their filing fees. They've paid a $5,000 fine. And they've have spent a number of dollars in providing a series of maps until we had it right. Both the plat mat and the as built." . . .
Moving forward, the county health department said it's going to give the developers conditional approval and the final map from the developers must be approved by the county health department and the Town of Lee planning department.According to Attorney Paul Longeretta for the residents:
"My clients do not have a complaint against the Oneida County Health Department. I want to be very clear about that. All they're asking is that the county enforces this agreement that was voluntarily entered into with the developer," said Longeretta.But that was November, 2008. With November 2009 upon us, Raven Rock residents have now filed a notice of claim against Oneida County.
Home owners are demanding compensation from the county because they say leaders knowingly allowed developers to sell the houses as three bedroom homes, even though they had only been approved and equipped with septic tanks large enough for two.What happened?
In January, 2009, the County Director of Environmental Health rejected a request to meet with the residents' counsel and transmitted a copy of the "Conditions of Approval" of Raven Rock "as built." (Read the letter . . . there is a "don't annoy me" tone.)
Some of the problems at Raven Rock involved allegedly undersized septic tanks. Sewage has reportedly backed up into showers and sinks. Per NYS regulations, the number of bedrooms is a factor in determining the proper size of a septic tank for a home. Three bedroom homes require a tank with a capacity of 1250 gallons, but homes with fewer bedrooms and without other accouterments such as garbage grinders can get away with a 1000 gallon tank.
In Raven Rock the homes reportedly had been built with 1,000 gallon tanks installed. So the solution here would be to increase the size of the tanks . . . Right? Instead the County has chosen to, in effect, play ostrich and decrease the number of bedrooms it would recognize in each home to make the installed 1000 gallon tanks the correct size. How did it get away with this? See this wording in Condition 12.
The County apparently got the developer's engineer to certify that the constructed homes only had 1 or 2 bedrooms.
The residents must have been surprised to hear this because they had purchased 3 bedroom units, as shown on their floor plans. The Town of Lee should have been surprised because the Town approved of the project as consisting of 17 duplexes with each unit containing 3 bedrooms -- not 1 or 2. The County should have been surprised as well because the Lee approval was filed with the County Clerk in 2004.
It simply is not believable that the County did not know that three bedroom units were built. But now the County accepts a "certification" that makes the problem go away??? Sounds like subornation of perjury to me.
To observers of the shenanigans in Oneida County over many years, this nonsense is not surprising -- but it still is disgusting. The "conditions of approval" were just B.S. , making things more difficult for the homeowners and easier for apparently well-connected developers.
Some county legislators have caught on. Chad Davis recently issued a press release on this fiasco. Unfortunately, a majority of the county legislators on the Public Health Committee, led by the Republican Chairman David Wilcox, don't care to pursue this matter further and have not responded to residents' or Mr. Davis' questions.
Like so many problems around here, even when it comes to violations of the law, it is easier for government leaders to dish out a line of B.S. and pretend there is nothing wrong rather than solve problems. It also appears to be easier for local media to ignore these stories -- reporting them only when unavoidable or when they favor the politicians that the media favor -- than to get to the bottom of these situations. Local media's laziness enables the laziness of our government's leaders ... or worse. The public, too, is at fault, like lemmings voting along party lines, or ethnicity, or neighborhood friendships rather than where candidates stand on the issues -- if the public even knows what the issues are, if the candidates have even formulated a position and if we are lucky to have them aired. As usual, private individuals wind up paying for the malfeasance, but if one is not affected, ignorance is bliss. Government leaders, the media, and the public can only play ostrich for so long.
When will they stop scoopin' the poop?

“providence, R.I. — Adam Lake, 30, whose last known address was on Whittier Drive in Coventry, has been found guilty of molesting an 11-year-old girl, Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Kilmartin announced Friday.
Associate Justice Judith Savage of Superior Court presided over the six-day trial. Lake has been held without bail at the Adult Correctional Institution since his arrest in July 2009.
The crimes happened in 2008 and 2009. The victim reported the molestation to a family member, who in turn reported it to the Providence police, Kilmartin said in a press release.
Sentencing is scheduled for March 19.”

Austrian art-house biographical film about the life of the Austrian Symbolist painter Gustav Klimt (1862–1918). It was written and directed by Raoul Ruiz, with an English screenplay adaptation by Gilbert Adair. The director of photography was Ricardo Aronovich, and the music was composed by Jorge Arriagada. The title role was played by John Malkovich and the cast included Stephen Dillane. Both a 130 minute long director’s cut and a shortened producer’s cut of 96 minutes were shown at the 2006 Berlin Film Festival.
Gustav Klimt lived his life like he painted it, full of intensity, sensuality and passion. As he lies on his deathbed, Klimt (John Malkovich) recalls his life, reflecting on his torrid affairs and his struggles for artistic freedom. Themes within the film include Klimt’s platonic friendship with Emilie Floege (Veronica Ferres). Much of the film is centred on Klimt’s relationship with Lea de Castro (Saffron Burrows), a dancer to whom he is introduced by the film pioneer Georges Méliès.
The film was shown at the 2006 Moscow International Film Festival where it was nominated for two awards, winning the Russian Film Clubs Federation Award.

How are you coping in the Covid-chaos? I hope that you are fine and that your family are safe and well. We have the opportunity to slow down and re-prioritise our lives. How will it all be after this ends? Will people still want to commute to work when they have learnt that working remotely is possible?
I hope that you all have your health as well as job security at this uncertain time.
There are always opportunities when the world outside seems to be in chaos.
This is a time for self-reflection and growth should we choose to make use of it. Please do stay abreast of current affairs, but don’t subscribe to the ‘fear porn’ that is the news. If it ‘bleeds it leads’ so they always have the most graphic and awful stories on there. We should remember that most news stations sell advertising. The more ghastly they depict things, the more we watch and the higher their revenues are. So just don’t watch it too much, it can be damaging for your mental health.
If you want to see something a bit more uplifting, I have just the thing. This is an interview I did on Monday for Uptown Style Magazine.
I was also featured in another publication this week, Style Cartel. They wrote about some healing I did for them.

Nuclear weapons projects are common on the continents of America, Australia, Asia, and Europe. Countries across the aforementioned continents are investing vast sums of money in nuclear power. In Africa, the said initiative receives little to no attention. In truth, at the time of writing, no African country had a nuclear programme, either operational or on the table. That is not to say that nuclear programmes have never existed in Africa. The two African countries that once had nuclear programmes will be highlighted in this article.
Below are the countries:
Libya began developing nuclear weapons shortly after Muammar Gaddafi took power. The program's goal was to create or obtain nuclear weapons of mass destruction. Gaddafi stuck with the programme until the end. He said on December 19, 2003, that Libya would willingly destroy all material and equipment that might have led to the country's nuclear arsenals. Libya's nuclear programme came to a halt with his announcement. The good news is that no nuclear tests or nuclear weapons were ever developed throughout the program's existence.
2. South Africa
Between the early 1960s and the mid-1990s, South Africa pursued weapons of mass devastation. The goal of the programme was to investigate biological, radiological, and nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons were intensively researched and developed during this time. Six nuclear arsenals and stockpiles were created in total. If military and political turmoil in Southern Africa persisted, the Kalahari desert was considered as a possible location for subterranean testing. However, because the United States of America intervened, this never happened. Before handing over power to an African-led administration, the country resolved to peacefully eliminate its nuclear arsenals. The country currently lacks these weapons and advocates for anti-nuclear weapon initiatives.

CAMP FALLUJAH, Iraq -- Twenty-one Medals of Honor, 174 Navy Crosses, 942 Silver Stars, 1,554 Bronze Stars and thousands of other personal decorations awarded to hospital corpsmen in the last 100 years have confirmed the dedication and fearlessness shown by corpsmen throughout their history.
I Marine Expeditionary Force corpsmen here at Camp Fallujah reflected on their predecessors' heroic achievements, captured by Vice Adm. Harold Koenig, former Navy Surgeon General, on the 106th birthday of Navy corpsmen.
The corpsman celebrated their birthday at the Camp Fallujah chapel June 17 with a ceremony that began with a speech from Col. John A. Toolan, the commanding officer of Regimental Combat Team 1.
Toolan spoke about the self-assurance that corpsmen display throughout the Navy and Marine Corps.
"When (corpsmen) bring that level of confidence to the Marine team," that corpsman becomes a Marine's best friend, said Toolan.
After his remarks, Toolen participated in the traditional cake-cutting ceremony, serving the oldest corpsman and the youngest corpsman present the first pieces of cake.
In his statement on the corpsmen birthday Chief of Naval Operations, Adm. Vern Clark said, "When (injured servicemembers) become ill, injured or wounded in battle, a hospital corpsman has always been nearby to heal and provide solace."
The ceremony concluded with the ringing of a bell, commemorating all fallen corpsmen from past and present wars.
"Being out in the field I think represents an essence of what the Hospital Corps is all about," said Chief Petty Officer, Paul E. Jones, a chief with Bravo Surgical Company, 1st Force Service Support Group.
During Operation Vigilant Resolve the corpsmen here proved themselves time after time. More than 200 wounded Marines, soldiers and sailors were treated during April alone. It was a sight unlike what some saw a year ago during the initial stages of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
"It's different this year," said Navy Lt. Kevin R. Poole, a physician assistant with the surgical company. "Last year we were removed from the sounds of war. This year we are trying to take care of these guys while the mortars are coming in. I call it organized chaos."
For some, that organized chaos helps them understand the value of their traditions.
"Being out here makes me happy to be a corpsman, out here doing what I've been trained to do," said Seaman, Arthur J. Samot, 19, a corpsman with Bravo Surgical Company, 1st FSSG, and the youngest sailor at the ceremony. "I love the green side."

When these problems affect how your cells make and use insulin or glucose, a chain reaction can lead to diabetes. Beta cells broken. If the cells that produce insulin send the wrong dose of insulin at the wrong time, your blood sugar is eliminated. High glycemia can also damage these cells. Although some things make diabetes more likely, they will not give you the disease. But the more it applies to you, the higher your chances of getting it.
Many results have been evaluated in these studies and various adhesion measurement instruments have been used. Interventions led by nurses, home aids, diabetes education and pharmacist-led interventions have shown a very small effect on some outcomes, including including metabolic control. No data on mortality, morbidity, or quality of life could be found. SGLT 2 inhibitors such as canagliflozin, dapagliflozin and empagliflozin are hypoglycaemic drugs that reduce glycaemia by increasing glucose secretion from the kidneys to urine.
Not trying to reverse type 2 diabetes can lead to long-term complications, including the increased risk of heart disease. In addition, patients tend to live up to six years less than people without diabetes. Type 2 diabetes affects 3.2 million people in the UK. The NHS currently spends about £ 1bn a year, or £ 22m a day - on diabetes medications - and costs are rising around the world as the rates of diabetes and drug prices are rising.
More than half of Americans of Asian descent and nearly half of Hispanic Americans with diabetes are undiagnosed. Health care experts say it's not easy to get people to change their behavior. "Tell people to lose weight does not give them enough information, it's not a message that helps and supports them," Albright said. To teach people how to change and maintain a new set of lifestyle habits, the CDC is also promoting its national diabetes prevention program, initiated in 2010.
Eating polyunsaturated fats from fish - also known as "long chain Omega 3" or "marine Omega 3" - does not protect against diabetes, even if there is much evidence that these omega-3 fatty acids help prevent heart disease. If you are already diabetic, eating fish may protect you from heart attack or heart disease. It is becoming increasingly evident that eating red meat beef, pork, lamb and processed red meat bacon, hot dogs, deli meats increases the risk of diabetes. you, even in people who consume little.
This is what happens to people with diabetes mellitus. There are two different types of diabetes mellitus. In type 1 dThe problem is that the pancreas an organ in the abdomen does not produce enough insulin. In type 2 diabetes mellitus, the pancreas does not produce enough insulin Figure 1, the body becomes resistant to normal or even high levels of insulin, or both . This causes high blood sugar blood sugar, which can cause problems if left untreated.
People usually develop type 2 diabetes after the age of 40, although people of South Asian origin are at increased risk of developing the disease and can develop a diabete from the age of 25 years. The condition is also becoming more common among children and adolescents of all populations. Type 2 diabetes often develops due to overweight, obesity and lack of physical activity, and the prevalence of diabetes is increasing worldwide as these conditions increase. problems are spreading.
Dr. Johnson has been an important contributor to my articles on sugar, obesity and diabetes. 3 His book, The Fat Switch, breaks many of our headaches about diet and weight loss. Dr. Johnson reviews this fascinating topic in the video below, in which he carefully explains how fructose consumption activates a powerful biological switch that causes us to gain weight. Metabolically, it is a very beneficial ability that allows many species, including humans, to survive periods of food shortage.
It can be a relief to get a diagnosis but also a shock to learn that it is diabetes. Your own personal experience plays an important role in how you react to your diabetes and cope with it. Many of you will know someone who has had or has had diabetes. How they coped or not will influence how you feel. People who have managed to cope with diabetes will be positive role models for you. On the other hand, those who have had a bad experience of diabetes can make you feel more scared.
Your doctor may also suggest switching to insulin for your condition to be well controlled. Yes, if your blood sugar gets too high. Over time, high levels of glucose in the blood can damage nerves and blood vessels. This can affect your libido, and if you are a man, your ability to get an erection.

This past weekend, Justin Bieber emerged from his creative hiatus with his highly-anticipated album Changes.
Almost immediately upon its release, some listeners identified that a particular sound — the plucked synth chords that serve as the foundation of his Lil Dicky collaboration “Running Over” — felt familiar.
The reason why the sound was recognized is because it existed before the album’s creation on Splice Sounds as a royalty-free sample, and it didn’t take long for news of its placement to reach the sample pack’s creator, Laxcity. In the span of less than 48 hours, the budding Bristol-based producer went from first learning his sound was on Changes to receiving a thank you for his contribution from Bieber himself.
We got on the phone with Laxcity to congratulate him and hear what was going through his mind when he first heard the news, how he crafted the sample used in “Running Over,” how deadmau5 and Mr. Carmack inspired the original loop, and more – read highlights below.
When did you realize your sample was on Justin Bieber and Lil Dicky’s “Runnning Over?”
I woke up on Friday — I think that was when the album was released — and I look on Twitter and this guy, @Darby__Music, posts a video of FL Studio where he’s got the Justin Bieber song on the top and my loop at the bottom.
And I was like, “Oh cool. Okay, that’s happened. My sound is in Justin Bieber’s song.” I was like, “Oh cool,” but I was celebrating internally. I was very surprised, honestly. I rushed over to tell my parents. They’re very proud of me.
Laxcity recalling the moment he heard his sample on “Running Over”
What was the sound design process behind the loop? Do you remember what instrument you used?
I used Wasp, which is a stock plugin in FL Studio. The processing for it was straight away some OTT and EQing. The wavetable is a square wave, which is low-passed. It’s like a short plucked sound, and basically, I wrote the MIDI for it and then bounced the audio out. Then, I layered the bounced audio on top of the original, with the bounced audio going through some convolution reverb. And then I finished off the layers with just a normal sine wave that’s distorted slightly.
Laxcity shared a step-by-step tutorial with us that breaks down how he created the loop
What were the original inspirations for this sample?
The inspiration for the sound design of the plucks is deadmau5, but the genre I was going for was more of a fun Mr. Carmack-y thing, because he used to do something similar, but with hip hop beats in the background. He released this song called “Runner,” and that’s probably the track that inspired this sound the most.
What do you think made this particular loop compelling to the track’s creators, The Audibles, Poo Bear, and Bieber?
I think just how bouncy it is and how you can apply it to any kind of drums. You could probably put it on a four-on-the-floor house beat and it would still work, but I never really thought of this approach of trap drums and an 808. I didn’t think it could be transformed into a mainstream sound the way it is, and it’s just funny how they cut off the low end and chopped up different bars of the sample so it makes sense with the 808.
What do you think about royalty-free samples making their way into mainstream music?
It’s a place of inspiration, and if it inspires mainstream producers or A-list producers at all, then that just happened; that’s just how it’s supposed to be. I’m extremely honored and gassed that I made it in a Justin Bieber song.
Laxcity’s thoughts on sampling in mainstream music and having his sample on Justin Bieber’s track

Steel Ministry spots 2 PSUs for sell-off
Steel Minister Virbhadra Singh on Friday said the Steel ministry has identified two PSUs for disinvestment and is in the process of looking for more, after which it will approach the cabinet this month.
New Delhi: Steel Minister Virbhadra Singh on Friday said the Steel ministry has identified two PSUs for disinvestment and is in the process of looking for more, after which it will approach the cabinet this month.
"We have identified two steel PSU`s for disinvestment. We will be going to cabinet within this month," Singh told reporters here on the sidelines of Converging India Leadership Summit.
Singh added that the ministry is in the process of finding more PSU`s for disinvestment. "A couple more are in the pipeline for selling govt stake", he added.
Singh said the ministry is looking to raise about Rs 15,000 crore from the process of disinvestment.
Meanwhile, the Steel Ministry has already sent its proposal to sell 10 per cent of its stake in Manganese Ore (India) Limited to the Ministry of Finance.
Steel Secretary P K Rastogi had said on August 4 that the ministry had approved the sale of 8.38 percent of its stake in iron ore producer NMDC and would take the proposal in a day or two to the Finance Ministry.
When asked if the government will come out with the policy to ban or disincentivise iron ore exports, he said the government is thinking on these lines and may come out with the policy in a year`s time.
He favoured value addition of domestic iron ore by public and private sector steel companies and called for the export of value added products like pellets, instead exporting raw material.
Moreover, when asked about the imposition of safeguard duty to discourage import of cheaper steel goods, Singh said the present situation does not warrant such a levy.
Further, he added that he was the minister of both `public and private sector steel companies` and would be talking to the state governments to expedite the process of allotment of iron ore mines and address problems faced by both of them in acquiring land.
Speaking on the occasion, IFCI CEO and MD Atul Kumar Rai said the matter of export and import of iron ore should be best left to the market.
SAIL Chairman SK Roongta added that the biggest challenge faced by his company is that of raw material security in the backdrop of dismal support from the present infrastructure.
India`s present annual steel production stands at 55 million tonnes and is being enhanced to 124 million tonnes by 2011-12.

Have you ever heard of the term ‘Red light therapy’? This innovative treatment is gaining increasing popularity among health enthusiasts due to its numerous benefits. Red light therapy, also known as Photobiomodulation or Light Emitting Diode (LED) Therapy, uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes.
It may improve various medical conditions, such as pain relief and wound healing while offering cosmetic benefits like skin rejuvenation and anti-aging. This comprehensive review will delve deeper into the pros and cons of red light therapy, its potential risks and safety concerns, how to use it effectively, the latest research studies on the topic, and much more. Don’t miss out on discovering all you need to know about this revolutionary therapeutic approach in healthcare!
Table of Contents
Understanding Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy uses a low-level wavelength of red and near-infrared light to penetrate the skin tissue and activate cellular functions.
Definition And A Brief History
Red light therapy is a type of phototherapy treatment that uses low-level wavelengths of red and infrared lights to stimulate healing and cellular rejuvenation. It was originally developed by NASA in the 1990s for space research purposes, but its benefits were soon discovered to be applicable to medical and cosmetic treatments as well. Today, it’s used for pain relief, skin health, body contouring, hair regrowth, brain health, mood enhancement, sports performance improvement, and more.
The use of red light therapy can be traced back thousands of years ago when ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians and Greeks used sunlight exposure to heal various ailments. In modern times though, it wasn’t until the discovery of LEDs that this technology became widely available for commercial use. The first LED was invented in 1962 by Nick Holonyak Jr., but it wasn’t until several decades later that it evolved into a powerful tool for treating different conditions. Since then, numerous studies have been conducted on the effectiveness of RLT with impressive results.
Overall, Red Light Therapy provides diverse potential benefits with relatively minimal risks making it an exciting addition to non-invasive wellness options offering natural ways to support good health practices from the comfort at home or in clinical settings alike.
How Red Light Therapy Works And Its Benefits
As a health enthusiast, I’m always on the lookout for natural and effective treatments that can improve my overall well-being. Red light therapy is one such treatment that has been gaining popularity in recent years. This non-invasive therapy works by delivering low-intensity red and near-infrared light to the body’s cells, which then activates various beneficial biological processes.
Red light therapy can offer numerous benefits, including skin rejuvenation and anti-aging effects through increased collagen production. It also helps with pain relief, wound healing, acne treatment, rosacea treatment, psoriasis treatment, eczema treatment, improved circulation, and muscle recovery after exercise or sports performance enhancement. Additionally, it may help those who suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) symptoms as it boosts energy levels naturally due to sunlight-mimicking photobiomodulation.
Clinical evidence supports several of these uses: it has shown promise in reducing joint pain related to osteoarthritis while enhancing hair regrowth during various pilot studies across multiple countries worldwide. However, clinical trials are ongoing regarding effectiveness versus placebo effect and long-term efficacy before any formal recommendations can be incorporated into standard medical practice at scale for use by patients seeking improvements relating chronic ailments’ management strategies either alone or simultaneous conventional care regimes like medications to treat disorders or heal wounds faster post-surgery without negative side-effects common among traditional forms or other physical therapies modalities like heat pads-application-cold compresses, etc., thereby providing individualized therapeutic medicine precision-based treatments only targeting specific conditions rather than affecting entire systems indiscriminately.”
The Pros Of Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy has a wide range of health benefits for various conditions, is safe and painless, is effective for body contouring and sculpting, and can improve skin health and reduce wrinkles. Ready to learn more? Keep reading to discover the potential risks, safety concerns, latest research, and how to use red light therapy effectively.
Wide Range Of Health Benefits For Various Conditions
As a health enthusiast, you might be interested in the wide range of benefits that red light therapy offers. From treating joint pain and inflammation to improving skin health and reducing wrinkles, red light therapy is known for its versatility. Research has shown that it can even stimulate hair growth by increasing blood flow to the scalp.
For those struggling with acne or rosacea, red light therapy may also help reduce inflammation and speed up healing. It’s been found effective in treating conditions like psoriasis and eczema as well. If you’re an athlete looking to improve muscle recovery time or enhance sports performance, red light therapy could be worth trying.
The best part about using red light therapy is that it’s a safe and painless treatment option without any major side effects reported thus far. And while consistent use is necessary to see results, research shows this type of therapy can indeed have positive effects on various conditions. So why not give it a try?
Safe And Painless Treatment
As a health enthusiast, safety is one of your top priorities when exploring new treatments. Luckily, red light therapy is both safe and painless. Unlike other laser treatments, it does not cause surface scarring or incisions. Plus, the treatment does not emit any heat, making it comfortable and enjoyable for patients.
Red light therapy is also non-invasive and doesn’t require surgery or medication to work effectively. It uses low-intensity red and near-infrared light to penetrate deep into cells and stimulate healing without causing any damage or harm to the skin. This makes red light therapy an excellent option for those who want a natural approach to their healthcare journey.
Overall, the safety profile of red light therapy has been well documented by experts in the field, with no serious adverse effects reported from its use so far. As long as you follow proper guidelines on usage frequency and dosage, there should be no reason why you can’t enjoy reaping its benefits!
Effective For Body Contouring And Sculpting
When it comes to body contouring and sculpting, red light therapy has been shown to have impressive results. One comprehensive review found that this type of therapy is both safe and effective for these purposes. In fact, when using 650nm technology, red LED light therapy produces similar results to more expensive laser devices in terms of body contouring.
Not only is this treatment safer than many other options on the market, but it also targets fat cells directly while leaving surrounding tissues unharmed. This means that not only can you see a reduction in the appearance of cellulite and waistline circumference but also improved skin texture as collagen production increases with regular sessions.
For those looking for a painless and non-invasive way to achieve their ideal figure or simply reduce signs of aging through increased collagen production, Red Light Therapy might be worth considering.
Can Improve Skin Health And Reduce Wrinkles
As health enthusiasts, we all want to maintain healthy and youthful-looking skin. Red light therapy has been touted as a solution for those looking to reduce wrinkles and improve overall skin health. Research has shown that red and near-infrared light treatment can lead to patient satisfaction with significant reductions in fine lines, wrinkles, and signs of aging.
Collagen production is an essential benefit of red light therapy that improves skin quality. Collagen is responsible for the elasticity and firmness of our skin. As we age, collagen production decreases, leading to sagging skin with wrinkles forming over time. Red light therapy triggers collagen production, while infrared light penetrates deep layers of the skin to have therapeutic effects.
Alongside wrinkle reduction, red light therapy has also been shown to improve blood circulation, which helps reduce inflammation; both key factors are related to wrinkling formation on the face’s delicate areas, such as around the eyes or mouth. With these particular benefits in mind, it’s clear why many people are turning towards this safe and painless treatment option for their skincare needs!
The Cons Of Red Light Therapy
Consistent and regular use is necessary to see results, so those looking for a quick fix may be disappointed; also, overuse can potentially irritate or damage skin tissue.
Consistent And Regular Use Is Necessary To See Results
As with any form of therapy, consistent and regular use is necessary to see results from red light therapy. This means that you need to follow a proper regimen and stick to it for the long term if you want to get the most out of your treatment. It’s important not to expect immediate results after just one session, as it often takes several weeks or even months of daily use before tangible improvements are visible.
However, this should not deter you from trying red light therapy – keep in mind that it has numerous potential benefits for your health and wellness. The key is to find a routine that works best for you and integrate it into your lifestyle seamlessly. You may opt for using red light devices at home each morning or evening with ease; incorporating them into an existing self-care practice such as meditation can be beneficial as well.
Remember: consistency is crucial, but don’t be too hard on yourself if life gets in the way sometimes. If you miss a day or two here and there, focus on getting back on track rather than feeling discouraged by “falling off” your routine entirely. Over time, making red light therapy part of your everyday life will feel natural and effortless – all while reaping its many rewards!
Results Aren’t Guaranteed And May Vary
It’s important to understand that red light therapy is not a one-size-fits-all solution, and results aren’t always guaranteed. Some individuals may see significant improvements in their skin health or pain relief after just a few sessions, while others may need consistent treatments over an extended period of time to notice any changes.
In addition, the efficacy of red light therapy also depends on several factors, such as age, skin type, underlying medical conditions, and lifestyle. It’s essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle while undergoing treatment in order to maximize the benefits of this modality for your body.
Despite these limitations, research has shown that red light therapy can be an effective complementary therapy for various health conditions. With regular use and proper care, you can achieve optimal results from red light therapy at home or with professional treatments.
Overuse Can Irritate Or Damage Skin Tissue
As with any form of therapy, too much of a good thing can sometimes be harmful. Overuse of red light therapy can cause skin irritation and damage to the tissue in some cases. It’s important to follow dosage and frequency guidelines carefully and not exceed the recommended usage.
The risk of skin irritation from overuse is higher for people with sensitive skin or those who have recently received other treatments that may have sensitized their skin. If you experience any discomfort or signs of irritation, it’s best to discontinue use for a few days until your skin has recovered.
Overall, while the benefits of red light therapy are numerous and impressive, it’s crucial to use devices safely and responsibly to avoid potential side effects. By following proper guidelines and taking precautions such as avoiding overuse, consumers can ensure they reap the maximum benefits without negative consequences on their health.
Lack Of Regulation And Guidelines
As with most alternative therapies, red light therapy lacks consistent regulation and guidelines, which can be concerning for those considering this treatment. The lack of standardized information on proper dosages and frequencies, as well as the different types of devices available in the market, can make it difficult to determine the best approach for each individual’s needs.
Additionally, while red light therapy is generally considered safe when done correctly, there is a risk of skin or eye damage if used improperly or without precautions. It’s important to research thoroughly and consult a healthcare professional before beginning any new treatments or supplementing existing ones with red light therapy.
Despite these concerns, though, many individuals have found great success with the regular use of red light therapy. As more research continues into this rapidly growing field, we may see greater standardization and clearer guidelines emerge to help ensure its safety and efficacy.
Potential Risks And Safety Concerns
While red light therapy is generally considered safe, there are some potential risks and safety concerns to be aware of before using this treatment. Eye damage and skin irritation can occur if the device is not used properly or for too long. It’s important to take proper safety precautions before and during treatment, and those with certain medical conditions should avoid using red light therapy altogether. To learn more about how to use this therapy effectively and safely, continue reading our comprehensive review of its pros and cons.
Potential For Eye And Skin Damage
As with any type of light therapy, there is the potential for eye and skin damage when using red light therapy. The primary concern related to eye damage is exposure to high-intensity light sources over an extended period, which can cause retinal damage or vision loss. It’s essential to protect your eyes during treatment by wearing appropriate protective goggles.
In terms of skin damage, some individuals may experience irritation or redness after using red light therapy devices. This has been observed in people who have sensitive skin or those who use too much intensity or frequency while undergoing treatment. To reduce the risk of skin irritation or tissue damage, it’s vital to follow the proper dosage and frequency guidelines recommended by a healthcare professional.
Overall, while the risks associated with red light therapy are minimal compared to traditional treatments such as medication and surgery, it’s still important to be aware of these potential side effects and take necessary precautions before starting treatment. Always consult with a healthcare professional before beginning any new therapies or treatments.
Safety Precautions To Take Before And During Treatment
Before undergoing red light therapy, it is important to take certain safety precautions. One of the most crucial ones is to wear protective eyewear during the treatment to prevent potential damage or even blindness in extreme cases. It is also recommended to avoid overexposure to light, as this can lead to skin irritation or burns.
To maximize the benefits and minimize any risks associated with red light therapy, it’s suggested that you consult with a qualified healthcare provider before starting your treatment regimen. They can advise on factors such as frequency and duration of use based on their assessment of your individual needs and goals.
During treatment sessions, it’s essential to follow all instructions provided by the device manufacturer or trained professionals administering the therapy carefully.

Overall, by following these safety guidelines, you can reap various health benefits from using red light therapy while minimizing potential risks effectively.
Who Should Avoid Red Light Therapy
As with any medical treatment, there are certain individuals who should avoid using red light therapy. For example, if you have a history of skin cancer or have a family history of the disease, it is not recommended to use this therapy. It’s also important to note that those who are prone to developing skin cancer should proceed with caution when considering red light therapy.
Additionally, pregnant women should consult their healthcare provider before undergoing this type of treatment as there isn’t enough research available on its safety during pregnancy. People who take medications that can make them sensitive to light, such as certain antibiotics and acne medications like Accutane or tetracycline, may be advised against red light therapy too.
Overall, while red light therapy offers various benefits for different health conditions and is generally safe for most people when used correctly, it’s always best to talk with your healthcare professional first before starting the treatment. Together you can assess your individual situation and determine whether or not red light therapy is right for you based on your medical history and current health status.

Dosage And Frequency Guidelines
When it comes to red light therapy, consistency is key. Scientific studies have shown that the ideal dose range for red light therapy falls between 3J/cm2 – 50J/cm2.

For at-home use, consider devices that are compact and easy to use without needing any professional assistance. Do your research and read reviews from other users to determine if a particular device will meet your expectations.
If you’re unsure about which device is best for you or have a particular condition you want to address, consult with an experienced healthcare professional who can help guide you toward the most appropriate option based on your unique requirements and budget.
Remember that while cost may be a factor in decision-making, investing in a higher-quality device could lead to better results over time compared to cheaper alternatives with less consistent performance or lower durability.
Combining With Other Treatments For Maximum Benefits
As effective as red light therapy is on its own, it can also be combined with other treatments for even better results. For example, combining red light therapy with micro-needling or chemical peels can improve skin rejuvenation and texture. The combination of these therapies enhances collagen production and helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
In addition, using red light therapy in conjunction with sports massages or physical therapy sessions can help aid muscle recovery and alleviate pain. This has been found to be especially beneficial for athletes who need to recover quickly after intense training sessions.
It’s important to note that while combining red light therapy with other treatments can lead to positive outcomes, it’s essential that they are performed by trained professionals. It’s best to consult your physician or dermatologist before starting any new treatment regimen to ensure safety and maximum benefits.
Overall, using red light therapy along with other treatments can remarkably enhance its effectiveness in achieving optimal health benefits such as wound healing, acne treatment, and mood improvement, among others.

Ghazali’s 20 rules for dealing with people. Rules 12-13 Cover the faults of others
In Imam Ghazali’s Kitaab Al-Arba’in Fi Usul ad-Din, ‘The Forty Principles of the Religion’, he collates 20 rules of how to deal with people.
Rule 12: Cover other people’s mistakes and sins
It is one of principles of dealing with people is to cover their faults and sins, by not pointing them out to others and talking about them. Do not publicise or broadcast people’s mistakes by discussing them or forwarding them on social media.
While there is still a screen over someone’s faults they have a chance to rectify them and repent. However once they are exposed and humiliated they have no way to preserve their dignity. They will be labelled and they will find it hard to escape that label, so their sin will become more permanent. They will have no where to hide, so they may even sin more openly, because they have nothing left to lose.
Al Ghazali has quoted some good and some weak hadith in this section of his book. He mentions a hadith that whoever covers faults of others will be entered to Jannah, which is a weak narration, however the concept of covering faults is good, it is the part about reward which is not authentic.
The authentic hadith is that the Prophet (peace be on him) said:
O all those who have believed with their tongue without imaan entering their heart! Do not backbite Muslims and do not follow after their faults. Truly whoever follows the faults of his Muslim brother, Allah will follow after his faults. Whoever has Allah follow after his faults, He will expose him even if he is in the recesses of his home. (Ibn Hibban)
Those who expose others will be exposed
This means that those who expose others will be exposed themselves. In Surat al Nur, which deals with the fabrication of allegations against Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) and Allah Almighty gave guidance how to deal with gossip and sins in the community and how to behave.
Indeed, those who like that immorality should be spread [or publicized] among those who have believed will have a painful punishment in this world and the Hereafter. And Allah knows and you do not know. (24:19)
This is a clear instruction not to expose the mistakes of others.
O you who have believed, do not follow the footsteps of Satan. And whoever follows the footsteps of Satan – indeed, he enjoins immorality and wrongdoing. And if not for the favour of Allah upon you and His mercy, not one of you would have been pure, ever, but Allah purifies whom He wills, and Allah is Hearing and Knowing. (24:21)
Here Allah Almighty says that if you expose others you are following the footsteps of shaytan because he advocates this, and there will be a severe punishment for you if you do this.
Conversely, if you screen others, Allah will screen you. If you shield the mistakes of others, Allah will conceal your mistakes in both dunya and akhirah, because whatever you do, will rebound on you.
The Prophet (peace be on him) wants us to be merciful towards others, rather than push them towards more sins and mistakes. We are all in need of being shielded, so we should follow the recommendations of the sunnah.
I personally witnessed this. A knew of someone who was very vocal in attacking someone else for their mistakes, was himself exposed a year later. When it happened to him, he was upset and said, ‘You should listen to my side of the story!’ but by then it was all over social media. He had to taste his own medicine.
Our community is not angelic. It is a human community, liable to sin and make mistakes. Where it is not harming anyone else, sins should be veiled. If someone is proud of their sins, and does not cover them, this does not give you the licence to spread them further.
When sins must be brought to light
When a sin is a matter of public concern, interferes with someone’s position or office, it should be revealed. There are different scenarios and guidance. For instance, if someone in public office is stealing money, it should not be hushed up. This is public money.
Help someone privately to sinning rather than expose them publicly
If a friend or colleague is doing something wrong, it may be possible to help them stop this by taking them aside and having a private word, rather than taking it to the management, as long as its not illegal. You might be more effective in correcting their mistake without exposing them, depending on your relationship. It is important to make people accountable for their mistakes.
Rule 13: Protect your reputation by avoiding doubtful places
Stay away from places of accusation, for Imam Ajluni said, ‘Whoever places himself in a place of accusation should not blame anyone who thinks badly of him.’ (Kashaf al Khafa)
If you see someone leaving a pub or nightclub our assumption will be that they were engaged in haram. They may not have been, because they had a reason to be there, but the mind will automatically jump to the assumption that they were doing something wrong. Don’t put yourself in a situation that allows others to automatically connect you to sin.
The Prophet (peace be on him) said in many narrations that whoever avoids doubtful matters is protecting his reputation and his religion. Protect your honour and reputation as Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said ‘Avoid what the mind will disapprove, even if you have an explanation for it.’ Otherwise you are making yourself a target for gossips and backbiters.
Spreading gossip while pretending not to
Some people say, ‘I’m not accusing so and so, but I saw him coming out of THAT place.’ This is thinly veiled accusation. Though you are saying you are not accusing them, you are doing exactly that by casting doubt on them and spreading the headlines.
The Prophet (peace be on him) was once out during the night with his wife and passed some companions. They exchanged salam, and the Prophet (peace be on him) clarified immediately that the women he was with was his wife Safiya. The companions were embarrassed that the Messenger (peace be on him) felt the need to clarify whom he was with, but he explained that it is shaytan who incites us to think the worse of people and situations and that he is always present, whispering evil thoughts, like the very blood in our veins.
Both of them said, “Subhan Allah, (How dare we think of any evil) O Allah’s Messenger (peace be on him)!” And they felt it. The Prophet said (to them), “Satan reaches everywhere in the human body as blood reaches in it, (everywhere in one’s body). I was afraid lest Satan might insert an evil thought in your minds.” (Bukhari)
Preaching in unlikely places
The founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hasan al Banna is a very talented person though he has been called many names. Nevertheless he undoubtedly a great personality in our lifetime and he started his dawah in an unusual way by going to coffee shops and places of entertainment, rather than preaching in mosques. It was a brave, bold and risky idea, but it was successful and Allah facilitated the goodness through him. This is an exceptional way to spread goodness, by approaching people in unlikely places. At times people from the Tablighi Jamaat will also go to coffee shops and invite people to Islam, or even that are not very decent, and will bring back drunk people. This is not the norm. By and large, it is better to stay away from places where your reputation will be tarnished.
Shaykh Haytham Tamim – The Thursday Knowledge Circle on Al Ghazali’s Forty Principles of Religion. Kitaab Al-Arba’in Fi Usul ad-Din.
This book is the last book Ghazali wrote. Towards the end of this life, after he had accomplished and completed Ihya Ulum ad Deen, he summarised the Ihya in 40 principles. In chapter 8, Ghazali looks at how to deal with people and uphold their rights.
Hurry to help others and intiate the salam (14-15)
- Being good neighbours
- Mirroring the Prophet (peace be upon him)
- Knowing Allah through His Beautiful Names – Al Jameel, Al Jaleel, Al Kareem
- Knowing Allah through His Beautiful Names – Al Hafidh
- The Years of Earthquakes – signs of the Day of Judgement and martydom for those who die

The Angry Corrie 12: Apr-May 1993
Eagleeyed readers will have noted the absence of one of the big TAC traditions in the current issue. No, not Murdo, he's eye here. Nor the letters page, it's daft as ever. But Shaggy's crossword?? It's gone AWOL! Yet eagleeyed readers will already know the reason for this: our own Shaggy has been busying himself in the World of Pop, where his crypto-reggae single "Oh Carolina" recently soared to No. 1 in the Hit Parade. Whilst wishing him well in his new career, we are delighted to report that, despite a punishing schedule and possible upcoming Brits award, he has promised to find time to service the needs of his loyal TAC fans in the next issue.

Astros second baseman José Altuve recorded a hit in 10 consecutive plate appearances between Friday and Sunday against the Indians. If the Astros were still in the National League, that would tie a league record, but the AL and overall record is 12 consecutive hits, which was accomplished by the Tigers’ Walt Dropo on July 14 and 15 in 1952. Altuve’s 10 consecutive hits did set a new Astros record, however. The previous club record was eight, set by Altuve last season.
In his third plate appearance on Friday, Altuve grounded out to shortstop. Here were his next 10 trips to the dish:
- Two-run double
- Infield single
- Two-run home run
- Infield single
- RBI double
- RBI single
This was hit No. 10:
In his final at-bat in the top of the ninth on Sunday, Altuve lined out to center field to end his streak. Teammate Josh Reddick, currently on the disabled list, was impressed with the streak:
After Sunday’s performance, Altuve is hitting .332/.378/.459 with three home runs, 28 RBI, and 31 runs scored in 239 plate appearances this season. His OPS was .760 after Thursday’s game and is now .837.
The White Sox have reportedly picked up first baseman Yonder Alonso from the Indians, according to Stadium. The return for Alonso is expected to be nothing more flashy than a “fringe prospect,” though the minutiae of the deal is still pending a formal announcement from both teams.
Alonso, 31, inked a two-year deal with the Indians during the 2017 offseason. His first campaign with the club yielded a modest .250/.317/.421 batting line, 23 home runs, .738 OPS and 0.7 fWAR in 574 PA. The real boon for the White Sox may not be a passable veteran bat, however, but something more intangible — like Alonso’s clout with his brother-in-law and highly-coveted free agent slugger, Manny Machado.
While Alonso’s 2018 output represented a significant decline from the career-best numbers he posted in 2017, he’s still a solid contributor at the plate and, more importantly, slated to remain under team control for the next two years with just $8 million owed in 2019 and a $9 million option in 2020. As MLB.com’s Anthony Castrovince notes, the $17 million the Indians just erased from their payroll should give them enough room to accommodate the contracts for right-handers Trevor Bauer and Corey Kluber — a bonus regardless of what they happen to get in the trade.
