2017 Event Chair:
Sharon McArdle, Director of Nursing at Methodist Women's Hospital
Dating back to the polio era, nurses have played a critical role in advancing the mission of the March of Dimes. Forty-thousand nurses volunteered for the Salk polio vaccine field trials in 1954, the largest medical investigation of its kind ever conducted.
Today, nurses serve as volunteers, fundraisers and advisors to the March of Dimes. Nurses are critical to our mission of improving the health of babies – and are key in comforting families.
The March of Dimes and Omaha Magazine will host the 2017 Nurse of the Year Awards on Thursday, November 9, 2017, to celebrate nursing excellence and recognize leaders in nursing from across Nebraska and Western Iowa. Patients, families and colleagues are encouraged to nominate nurses from all aspects of health care. Nominations are due August 31, 2017.
The purpose of the event is to raise important funds and increase interest and public awareness of the diverse and rewarding careers available to nurses. The March of Dimes is proud to provide a platform to the medical community to pay tribute to these unsung heroes.
Every year, 15 million babies are born prematurely worldwide, and 1 million will die before their first birthday. Your gift helps the March of Dimes fund research, education, advocacy and programs that help more moms have full-term pregnancies and healthy babies.
The March of Dimes celebrates nursing in the most meaningful way, through partnerships with hospitals, health care facilities, organizations, vendors and individuals. Sponsorship opportunities are available at a variety of levels for our Nurse of the Year event, providing integration and civic engagement while playing tribute to nurses. We look forward to discussing your partnership with the March of Dimes. For more information, please contact Kristin Schemahorn at (402) 498-7111.

The Defense Department’s plans to slow military pay growth and increase Tricare fees may have become less objectionable to Congress in a time of tight budgets.
At a Wednesday hearing, leaders of the Senate Armed Services Committee’s personnel panel said they were not pleased with the notion of saving money by reducing benefits — but also did not say they would oppose the plans.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., the personnel panel chairwoman, said it was “regrettable” that the proposed 1 percent basic pay raise for Jan. 1, 2014, would be less than the average private-sector increase and added that she is “skeptical” about Tricare fee hikes aimed mostly at working-age retirees.
Gillibrand, who took over the subcommittee in January, acknowledged the Pentagon was forced by budgetary constraints to make “difficult choices” on the budget.
Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, the personnel panel’s ranking Republican — who in the past has thrown up roadblocks to Pentagon plans to raise Tricare enrollment fees and deductibles — said he is willing to consider increases.
Graham said his primary concern is making sure the health care benefit is sustainable over the long term, and he would accept a “gradual premium increase.” The goal, he said, is to have an “affordable” benefit with “rational and logical” financing.
On the basic pay raise, Graham said, “I wish it were more” but he understood the decision to limit raises.
The 1 percent raise proposed by the Pentagon would replace the 1.8 percent increase called for under a federal pay formula that links increases to average wage growth in the private sector.
Jessica Wright, acting undersecretary of defense for personnel, said it was an “extremely hard decision” within the Pentagon to reduce the size of the raise, but the overall budget is rising slower than previously planned.
Capping the raises was a “collective decision,” she said.
In a statement provided to the panel, defense personnel officials said the reduced raise would save $540 million in the fiscal 2014 budget but “should not significantly affect recruiting and retention.”
Military associations representing the interests of service members, retirees and their families do not support the pay raise cap. Joseph Barnes, a retired Navy master chief who is executive director of the Fleet Reserve Association and co-chairman of the Military Coalition, said pay caps are not harmless.
“The current high rate of unemployment will not continue indefinitely,” he said. He suggested that an improved civilian job market could lead service members to consider leaving and potential recruits to consider other options.
The coalition, a group of more than 30 military and veterans organizations sharing a common legislative agenda, says in a statement submitted to the panel that history shows capping pay raises is “an exceptionally slippery slope which has never ended well.”
Pay caps in the 1970s led to serious retention problems that were fixed by two huge pay increases in 1981 and 1982 to make military pay competitive with the private sector. In the 1980s and early 1990s, pay was capped again, until the gap between military and civilian pay grew to 13.5 percent by 1998, resulting in another severe retention problem, the Coalition says.
New calls to reduce raises “are exceptionally short-sighted in light of the extensive negative past experience with military pay raise caps,” the Coalition statement says.

A long investigation into Boston-area narcotics trafficking is resulting in one of the biggest busts in Massachusetts history.
A warrant sweep was conducted yesterday for suspects in the Operation High Hopes case, and over 40 kilograms of fentanyl was seized.
More than 30 people were arrested, including Edward Soto-Perez and Robert Contreras of Roxbury.
Officials say Operation High Hopes came from the title of a Frank Sinatra song. It came about after one of the defendants was known to wear a fedora, just like Sinatra did from time to time.
Prosecutors say those two men are top level suppliers for national and international drug cartels.

Is fluid around the heart serious?
Is fluid around the heart serious?
Pericardial effusion is a buildup of fluid in the space around the heart. It can happen for a wide range of reasons, including infections, injuries or other medical conditions. If the buildup is severe or happens quickly, it can compress your heart and cause cardiac tamponade, a life-threatening medical emergency.
What happens if fluid gets around your heart?
In this condition, the excess fluid within the pericardium puts pressure on the heart. The strain prevents the heart chambers from filling completely with blood. Cardiac tamponade results in poor blood flow and a lack of oxygen to the body. Cardiac tamponade is life-threatening and requires emergency medical treatment.
What is the treatment for fluid around the heart?
What is pericardiocentesis? Pericardiocentesis is a procedure done to remove fluid that has built up in the sac around the heart (pericardium). It’s done using a needle and small catheter to drain excess fluid.
What is the most common cause of a pericardial effusion?
Lung cancer is the most common cause of the malignant pericardial effusion. Trauma: Blunt, penetrating, and iatrogenic injury to the myocardium, aorta, or coronary vessels can lead to the accumulation of blood within the pericardial sac.
Can pericarditis be caused by stress?
Stress cardiomyopathy (CMP) has been described as a complication of post-myocardial infarction pericarditis (Dressler syndrome). Stress CMP can also be complicated by pericarditis. We describe the novel observation where idiopathic pericarditis is the primary disease, which precipitated stress CMP.
Is pericarditis serious?
Pericarditis causes chest pain and a high temperature. It’s not usually serious, but it can cause serious health problems. Get medical advice if you have chest pain.
Should I be concerned about a small pericardial effusion?
Most times, it’s small and causes no serious problems. If it’s large, it can compress your heart and hamper its ability to pump blood. This condition, called cardiac tamponade, is potentially life-threatening. To find the cause of a pericardial effusion, your doctor may take a sample of the pericardial fluid.
Can pericardial effusion be cured?
Depending on the severity of the buildup, pericardial effusion may be treatable with medicines. If the health care team determines that it’s necessary to drain the excess fluid, they may recommend a procedure called pericardiocentesis, which uses a needle and small catheter to drain the fluid.
Is pericarditis life-threatening?
Pericarditis can range from mild illness that gets better on its own, to a life-threatening condition. Fluid buildup around the heart and poor heart function can complicate the disorder. The outcome is good if pericarditis is treated right away. Most people recover in 2 weeks to 3 months.
What triggers pericarditis?
Pericarditis may be caused by infection, autoimmune disorders, inflammation after a heart attack, chest injury, cancer, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis (TB), kidney failure, medical treatments (such as certain medicines or radiation therapy to the chest), or heart surgery.
How do you fix pericarditis?
With constrictive pericarditis, the only cure is surgery known as a pericardiectomy to remove the pericardium. This is only done when symptoms become severe.
What is the most common cause of pericardial effusion?
Why would you have fluid around your heart?
When the pericardium becomes injured or affected by infection or disease, fluid can build up between its delicate layers. This condition is called pericardial effusion. Fluid around the heart puts a strain on this organ’s ability to pump blood efficiently.
Does fluid around the heart go away on its own?
How is it treated? If there is only a small amount of extra fluid in your pericardium, you may not need treatment. The extra fluid may go away on its own. Treatment depends on the cause of the extra fluid, the amount of fluid, and your symptoms.
Is pericarditis life threatening?
Who is most likely to get pericarditis?
Pericarditis affects people of all ages, but men ages 16 to 65 are more likely to develop it. Among those treated for acute pericarditis, up to 30% may experience the condition again, with a small number eventually developing chronic pericarditis.
What is the best treatment for pericarditis?
- Pain relievers. Pericarditis pain can usually be treated with over-the-counter pain relievers, such as aspirin or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others).
- Colchicine (Colcrys, Mitigare). This drug reduces inflammation in the body.
- Corticosteroids. Corticosteroids are strong medications that fight inflammation.
How common is fluid build-up around the heart?
Scientists have found that in 60% of cases, the buildup of fluid around the heart is linked to a known disease. Studies have shown that 21% of people with a cancer diagnosis develop pericardial effusion.
What are the symptoms of fluid around the heart?
Fluid around heart spaces does not always cause symptoms, especially in the early stages, because the pericardium can stretch. However, when fluid does build up, it puts pressure on nearby organs and parts of the body, including the lungs, stomach, nerves, and heart. The resulting symptoms include: chest pain that gets worse when people lie flat
What kind of cancer causes fluid around the heart?
Lung cancer, breast cancer, melanoma, and lymphoma can cause fluid to build up around your heart. In some cases, the chemotherapy drugs doxorubicin (Adriamycin) and cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) can cause a pericardial effusion.
How do you drain fluid around the heart?
In these cases, your doctor may recommend draining the fluid through a catheter inserted into your chest or open-heart surgery to repair your pericardium and your heart. Fluid around the heart has many causes.

Spindly Onion Seeds
Onion seeds are about the only seed sthat we don’t grow here in Stephanie's Kitchen Garden - they are sometimes tricky to grow and I prefer to buythe organic sets. Besides there is always a lot going on in our greenhouse that time of the year and I can’t give them the space.
I’m wondering if you are keeping your seedlings too warm and maybe not giving them enough light? I’m not sure of the growing conditions you have grown your seeds in so it is difficult to say. When sowing seeds in our greenhouse we use Heat mats to aid germination and then remove them from the heat and put them under Growlights to give them plenty of light. The fact that you said your seedlings are spindly is common with onions and leeks as they thicken out later but maybe lack of light has made them more spindly than usual.
Onion seeds often fall over, try giving them a little bit more water in case they are not getting enough water to support themselves. I would give them more light and water and get them a bit stronger with a view to hardening off before planting out.
I hope this helps and that your seedlings pick up soon.

Cornell clinicians and alumni collaborate on new dairy cattle textbook, honor a mentor
Cornell-affiliated veterinarians have authored the third edition of Rebhun’s Diseases of Dairy Cattle, edited by Simon Peek Ph.D. ’98 and Thomas Divers, the Rudolph J. and Katharine L. Steffen Professor of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell University. The book’s cover showcases original artwork painted by alumna Laurie Peek DVM ’96 of the major breeds of dairy cows in a lush pasture.
The textbook serves as an all-in-one guide to dairy cattle disease management and covers all bovine body systems. The first edition of the book was authored by Cornell graduate and clinician William C. Rebhun, former chief of the Large Animal Hospital at the College and known as a tireless equine and bovine clinician with expertise in medicine, surgery, and ophthalmology. Many chapters in the third edition of the textbook are written or co-written by either college alumni or veterinarians who worked with Dr. Rebhun.
“This book represents the collective work of multiple authors, the majority of whom still have some connection to Bill [Rebhun],” Peek and Divers write in the preface. “Bill was as strong an advocate of individual animal diagnostics and treatment as anyone who ever took the Veterinarian’s Oath, but he would have championed a continued and pivotal role for veterinarians within dairy practice whatever twists and turns the industry took. For Bill, what was never acceptable was a lack of compassion for the patient or the failure to commit relentless attention to the pursuit of those clinical skills that distinguish veterinarians from all others in the industry. If nothing more, this book is meant to foster and reinforce those priorities.”
The textbook also features an accompanying interactive website, which provides videos of clinical cases that readers can reference and review for more in-depth understanding. This feature is not common in veterinary texts and represents a step forward in comprehensive, multi-media education for veterinarians.
Peek and Divers dedicated the third edition of Rebhun’s textbook to another Cornellian, Robert Hillman DVM ‘55, CVM professor and renowned large animal theriogenologist, “generally considered one of the best large animal veterinarians to ever practice and teach at Cornell University,” write Peek and Divers. As a former student of Hillman’s, Rebhun himself noted that Hillman was probably the most skilled clinician he ever met. “We are certain the dedication of this book to Dr. Hillman for his tremendous contribution to veterinary medicine would be loudly applauded by Dr. Rebhun.” The authors continue in their dedication. “Bob, we are so honored to have worked with you and learned from you, and we thank you for your numerous contributions to our veterinary profession!”

LONDON — Stephanie Phair has stepped down as president of The Outnet amid a management reshuffle in the wake of the merger at Yoox Net-a-porter Group.
Phair spent more than six years building The Outnet into a profitable business that saw revenue grow 30 percent last year to more than 100 million pounds, or $152 million, with high double-digit sales growth expected in the current year.
She also sat on the executive team for the Net-a-porter Group for seven years, helping to shape strategy at the group level.
Although it started life as an outlet business for Net-a-porter, The Outnet rapidly developed an identity of its own, with a dedicated team that bought inventory directly from the brands.
Under Phair, the site launched the private-label collection Iris & Ink and undertook special projects with brands such as Oscar de la Renta. The designer created a capsule collection for The Outnet, reworking classic styles from archived fabric.
“Very early on, we realized the outlet-only offer was not going to cut it — it just wasn’t compelling enough…So we realized we had to supplement our stock,” Phair said during the inaugural WWD Digital Summit in London in 2013. “Brands also started to realize they couldn’t pretend that side of the business didn’t exist anymore — and they had to embrace it.”
Phair will be succeeded by two of her colleagues — Shira Suveyke, vice president, global buying director of The Outnet, and Andres Sosa, the site’s global sales and marketing director. The company said the two would take up a “joint leadership role,” working closely to maintain the site’s success.
Ian Tansley, managing director of Mr Porter, has also stepped down, and will be succeeded by Toby Bateman. He joined Mr Porter in 2010 as buying director, and the company said he has played a “pivotal role” in the launch and ongoing growth of the site.
Alison Loehnis, president of the Net-a-porter Group, called Phair’s and Tansley’s contributions to the business “remarkable.” She added that both leave “a very strong management team in place.”
Adrian Evans, director of strategy at the Net-a-porter Group, has been appointed to the role of commercial director. Evans joined Net as head of planning and analysis and was made group financial controller prior to being appointed director of strategy, working on the launch of The Outnet, Mr Porter and Porter magazine.
Lea Cranfield has been named merchandising director for Net and Mr Porter. She joined the group as head of merchandising for Mr Porter and in her new role will be “instrumental in leading the development of the full-price product offer for the wider group,” the company said.
The new appointees will report to Loehnis. It is understood there were no layoffs linked to the management changes, and that head count has remained more or less the same.
At the Yoox Net-a-porter Group level, Naomi Hewitt has been named director of people and organization. She joined Net in 2003 as head of human resources, where she grew the people and organization structures from 40 to 2,500 employees across three continents.
Paul Brennan will step up to the role of deputy director of the post-merger integration and operational excellence. He previously led The Net-a-porter Group merchandising and retail functions globally, and more recently was responsible for the strategic integration of retail activities across the entire group.
“Their talent, experience and significant accomplishments have been instrumental in delivering a world-class e-commerce experience to our brand partners and customers,” said Federico Marchetti, chief executive officer of Yoox Net-a-porter Group. “Our commitment remains to ensure we have the best people in place across the business as we continue with the integration process.”
The merger took place last month, with the new company listed on the Milan stock exchange in early October.
Earlier this month, YNAP said pro-forma adjusted net profits in the nine months ended Sept. 30 jumped 50.4 percent to 32.4 million euros, or $36 million.
Pro-forma revenues climbed 32.2 percent to 1.2 billion euros, or $1.3 billion. At constant exchange, sales grew 21.5 percent.

It’s the year of ‘40 Sticks’ as Kalasha celebrates 10 years
By Stevens Muendo
| December 14th 2020
Netflix-streamed Kenyan film 40 Sticks carried the day at the Kalasha Awards gala with nine wins.
This happened on Saturday night as Kalasha Awards celebrated 10 years since the gala was launched.
The drama action film, by top actress Sarah Hassan – and who has won the Best Lead Actress in a Film category in the same awards on numerous occasions – swept the board at the expense of Sincerely Daisy, Midlife Crisis, Family Meeting and Uradi, the other major films that had been tipped to pose a major challenge during the celebrations.
The actress received the trophy for the Best Feature Film for the 95-minute film which picked wins in the Best Sound Design, Best Supporting Actor in a Film, Best Editor, Best Special Effects, Best Original Score, Best Original Screenplay, Best Lighting and Best Production Designer.
Out of the dominant slots the movie had been nominated in, it lost the Best Lead Actor in a Film that went to Gitaru Kamau of Family Meeting and Best Director of Photography that was taken by Jim Bishop of Nambwa FM.
The movie is centred on a group of death-row prisoners who are trapped inside a crashed prison bus. They are fighting for survival when they realise there is a mysterious killer lurking in the shadows. Filmed in Nairobi last year, the movie has been scripted in Sheng, Kiswahili and English.
“Even though this was a small project, we are grateful for the recognition it got. We thank all those who supported us and we are happy for the win,” Hassan said in a recorded acceptance speech during the awards aired live on KTN and KBC.
Ella Maina and Gitaru Kamau were other big winners as they were named the Best Lead Actress in a Film and Best Lead Actor in a Film for their roles in Sincerely Daisy and Family Meeting, respectively.
With Cajetan Boy taking home the Best Supporting Actor in a Film gong, Lucas Bikedo scored a double as he was gifted the Best Sound Designer and Best Original Score categories.
David Campbell, the founder and director of Mediae, received the Lifetime Achievement trophy. Mediae has, for the last 15 years, been helping people understand their rights through fundraisings for organisations and individuals.
Founded in 1997, Mediae seeks to address the informational needs of East Africans through sustainable and research-based media productions to empower those targeted. Philanthropist Campbell had been invited as a guest and was surprised to hear his name being called out for the award.
The biggest flop of the night, however, was Uradi, a film that was among the most nominated. It got no trophy. All winners will each get Sh100,000 cash reward in addition to trophies and gift hampers.
It was also a night of firsts as newcomer actress, Yasmin Said, was named the Best Lead Actress in a TV drama, Maria. Leon Ongaya, also a new star, scooped the Best Lead Actor in a TV drama Pete. Nick Ndeda, who hosts The Great Kenyan Bake Off show on KTN, won the Best Host in a TV Show category as Varshita, a Maisha Magic East show, won the Best TV Comedy, the same show that saw Mukami Njiru take the award for Best Performance in a TV Comedy competition.
The event at Sarit Centre was different this year as only a few guests were invited due to Covid-19. There was a fusion of live and recorded speeches put together to make a one-hour show that was devoid of the usual prolonged red carpet receptions.
Most of the nominees attended the event but winners only gave acceptance speeches via pre-recorded clips. There were some technical hitches as some of the pre-recorded speeches ran before winners were announced.
The Kalasha gala was one of the few awards event hosted live in the region and presented an opportunity to celebrate the film industry that has suffered numerous challenges in a year the entertainment sector was nearly crippled due to the outbreak of coronavirus.
Most film awards that mark the annual international film calendar were either cancelled or postponed due to the pandemic. At the same time, many film productions were stopped with major international movie companies holding movie releases, hopefully, until next year. Others released their films via streaming services.
ICT Cabinet Secretary Joe Mucheru, who spoke at the ceremony, challenged local film makers to take advantage of the new measures his ministry was putting in place to improve the sector.
“As a ministry, we have a mission to facilitate universal access to ICT infrastructure and services all over the country. We formulate policies and laws that regulate standards and services in the ICT sector, telecommunications and the media industry. My ministry is also charged with the responsibility of developing and administering ICT standards, building capacity of mass media and ICT, and the disseminating public information,” Mucheru said.
He said through the recent re-introduction of the Drive-In Cinema, the Kenya Film Commission was now offering content producers an innovative way of content consumption and alternative distribution system that the film industry should take advantage of.
The commission, he said, has rolled out the Creative Industry Database to create a registry of talents to act as a reference point for producers.
The event was also attended by PSs Esther Koimett, Julius Korir and Maureen Mbaka, Kenya Film Commission CEO Timothy Owase and Kenya Film Classification Board’s Ezekiel Mutua.

Following a bungled robbery, three violent criminals take a young woman, a middle-aged man, and a child hostage and force them to drive them outside Rome to help them make a clean escape.
Remade in 2015 by a French Canadian movie called Enragés.
In the Anchor Bay and Arrow Video presentations of the original film, Marisa Fabbri is credited twice (once in the opening credits, and again in the ending credits) while Erika Dario receives no credit. This error does not occur in the original Spera Cinematografica prints, the Lucertola Media DVD or in the "Kidnapped" cut.
Originally shot in 1974 under the title 'L'uomo e il bambino', this film was shelved when one of the film financial backers died and ownership of the picture became entangled in bankruptcy proceedings before post-production had been completed, which prevented its theatrical release. The film sat on a shelf for almost 25 years until actress Lea Lander rescued it from oblivion by helping finance a DVD release: a new short prologue was shot, according to Bava's original script, and editing and scoring were completed using existing available materials. In 2002 producer Alfredo Leone and director Lamberto Bava (Mario's son), allegedly dissatisfied with the DVD edit, produced a new restored version of the film. Lamberto Bava and his son Roy shot additional footage and original composer Stelvio Cipriani created a new complete musical score (though the DVD release employed some of Cipriani's cues and themes, the film was never properly scored in 1974). This restored version, produced by Kismet Entertainment Group and retitled "Kidnapped", premiered theatrically in the US on May 31, 2002 as part of a Mario Bava retrospective at the American Cinematheque's Egyptian Theater in Hollywood
The versatile comedic actor has his summer movie plans set but still has a little catching up to do when it comes to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Wang Qinghua, Chairman, Bafang Electric
Today, the speed at which the automotive industry is growing. With the rise of new energy vehicles and it is evident that the use of fossil fuel for powering motorized vehicles is soon coming to an end. With technological advances and a desperate need for greater sustainability, vehicles are becoming smarter and cleaner. The emergence of electric vehicles has revolutionized the way people commute. One of the leading manufacturers of e-mobility components and complete e-drive systems, Bafang Electric has been developing solutions for electric vehicles. The company focuses on all global e-mobility trends of the future: whether for individual e-bikes, e-scooters, or public bike-sharing schemes.
Headquartered in Suzhou, China, Bafang has been developing and manufacturing products for more than ten years and has always put great emphasis on their reliability, quality, and longevity.
A Pioneer in the EV Sector
Chairman and General Manager of the company, Mr. Qinghua Wang says, “Bafang means ‘boundless space’ in Chinese. Twenty-five years ago, we recognized that green energy and environmental protection would be a key movement in maintaining sustainability, while e-Mobility would become a future development trend. As such, we are committed to this healthy and environmentally friendly industry and are immensely proud of our profession.” Prior to Bafang, Mr. Wang worked in a company specialized in the domestic electric scooter industry for over 5 years. And as the market development was limited at that time, the company only manufactured motors for self-owned electric scooter brands.
Later in 2003, Mr. Wang established Bafang as the manufacturer for electric components and e-drive systems. The team was then established to gather talent around the world and market Bafang’s products worldwide. Today, the company has become a globally successful supplier of complete systems.
Bafang is a private enterprise created from scratch. With a focus on the domestic market in the early stages, the company seized favourable opportunities for electric scooter development in China. Through technical innovation and accumulated capital, Bafang is expanding its market and developing technical know-how. Soon in 2008, the company started to vigorously expand into the European market. Thanks to the advanced technology and individual products responding quickly to the market, the company gained a foothold on the European market.
Over the years, Bafang has grown with steady improvement in the quality of the company’s products and the gradual establishment of a local service network. It has also expanded its brand and accepted consumers in regions such as Europe, America, and Japan. EU trade policies (anti-dumping measures on Chinese eBike) and new American tariff impositions posed major challenges to local Chinese enterprises including Bafang. But the company adhered to such trade policies with ease by going global and setting up a manufacturing base in Europe and 6 service centers throughout the world. Bafang will continue to become more global, focusing on the demands of customers, expanding further and more intensively into European and American markets, and developing a wider and superior range of products for the market.
“With our unique line of products and quick response-ability to the market, Bafang aims to provide customers with an extremely cost-effective service,” says, Mr. Wang. “Bafang’s goal is to produce innovative and high-quality products for our customers that make a tangible contribution to their riding comfort. Our employees are dedicated to this aim. We embrace every challenge and strive to develop new groundbreaking products that set new standards.”
The company is engaged in the development of complete e-drive systems for eBikes. Along with that, Bafang owns a wide variety of drive system products for eBikes across the world, with different applications such as eCity, eMTB, eTour, eRoad, eCargo, eShare, and eScooter. It analyzed the features and technical demands of various eBike models from a professional angle, conduct specific designs for eBike variants, and tailor different control software for different regions.
Bafang aims to continuously meet the requirements of customers for their cycling experience and improve eBike practicality and cycling comfort.
Towards a Sustainable Future
Bafang is still in a phase of rapid development and has seen an increase in the number of employees as well as customers. It is an open and inclusive company that respects different cultures and local employees from all over the world.
“Bafang has a clear strategy – we will continue focusing on the pedelec industry, pushing our development in this direction and impressing more and more customers worldwide with our products and services. There is nothing more exciting than customer satisfaction, concludes, Mr. Wang.

Success Academy head Eva Moskowitz said that the Panel for Educational Policy's recent decision to delay two co-location votes shows that Mayor Bill de Blasio is undeserving of mayoral control of the city's schools.
Now we know the UFT will continue to back mayoral control even though there is a good shot de Blasio will be a one-termer and - guess who just might be waiting in the wings to activate her strategically placed schools into a political machine for her bid to become mayor?
So follow this bouncing ball - the UFT supports mayoral control - as it did 13 years ago when Bloomberg got power - and will do so again even if Eva gets to run the schools - which she is sort of doing anyway --
What is the alternative?
I posted some thoughts recently:
Now that de Blasio has backed off so much of the resistance to ed deform he promised, there is more willingness to give him this extension. But he is still hated by the deformers. Lots of people are thinking he is a one-term mayor - imagine Eva in charge - deformers would extent that for life.
Some of our allies (our friends in Chicago and some here pushing a "People's Board") have seized upon
MORE at: School Board Elections vs Mayoral Control? Time to Dig Deeper
With this additional comment:
I'm still thinking old dist structure on the whole but with some power to local schools. Old struct was still dictatorial to the schools. I think we need to empower the SLTs with some real power but within the structure of a bigger neighborhood based unit.
I have issues with centralized control and even a school board election keeps that in place. we need to rethink things from the bottom up. I start at the neighborhood schools and work from there. Problems? Hell yes. But why not even try some experiments? Maybe buddy schools to share resources.

The best kids' movies on Netflix
Director Jim Henson
Cast David Bowie, Jennifer Connelly
In this classic ’80s fairytale fantasy, frustrated teenager Sarah wishes her baby brother would be taken away by the Goblin King – but when her wish unexpectedly comes true, she has just 13 hours to solve the labyrinth and rescue him. All-round legend Bowie plays the Goblin King himself, in a pair of skin-tight Lycra leggings that should really have upgraded this film from U to a PG.
Director Mark Osborne
Cast Rachel McAdams, Jeff Bridges, Mackenzie Foy (voices)
If this sweet movie, faithfully based on Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s iconic masterpiece, passed you by it might be because it ended up skipping the cinema and landing straight on Netflix. A charming mix of animation and stop-motion, the family-friendly film follows a young girl who is told the familiar tale by the book’s now elderly aviator.
Director Kelly Asbury
Cast James McAvoy, Emily Blunt, Maggie Smith (voices)
The Bard’s epic love story is reimagined in Stratford-upon-Avon, where two elderly neighbours are locked in a battle over their back gardens. When two gnomes from either side of the fence fall in love, the trouble intensifies. But there will be no tears at the closing credits; this U-classified Shakespearean caper comes without the suicidal finale.
Directors Dean DeBlois and Chris Sanders
Cast Jay Baruchel, Gerard Butler, America Ferrera (voices)
Hiccup might be the son of the clan chief, but that doesn’t stop him being a misfit. The Norse teenager joins dragon-fighting school to prove himself a true Viking, until a chance encounter with a rare injured dragon called Toothless prompts him to question whether warfare is really necessary. Watch it for the breathtaking aerial battle sequence.
Directors Eric Darnell and Tom McGrath
Cast Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, David Schwimmer, Jada Pinkett Smith (voices)
Smile and wave, boys. Smile and wave. A gaggle of famous voices lend their vocal chords to this fun, hectic animation about four pampered animals who have spent their entire existence in captivity at Central Park Zoo. Drama ensues when, with the help of some plucky penguins, Marty the zebra makes an escape.
Director Danny DeVito
Cast Mara Wilson, Danny DeVito, Pam Ferris
Roald Dahl's book smart heroine is the star of this '90s kids movie. Matila (Mara Wilson) is a precocious, bright, spunky young thing somehow born to mindless, amoral, stupid neanderthals. Her story of libraries, evil headmistresses and the stupidly of adults is a modern-day pantomime about childhood solidarity and self-empowerment. It's a total joy.
Director Gary Winick
Cast Julia Roberts, Dakota Fanning, John Cleese (voices)
The classic children’s tale of a young girl raising a runt piglet as a pet gets an elegant big-screen, A-lister heavy adaptation. In probably her least glamorous role to date, Julia Roberts plays Charlotte, a spider who lives in the eaves of a farm barn and uses her web to convince the farmer that Wilbur the pig is too special to end up on anyone’s dinner plate.
Directors Tim Johnson and Karey Kirkpatrick
Cast Bruce Willis, Steve Carell, Wanda Sykes (voices)
In this smart and funny animation, a gaggle of woodland animals wake up from their annual hibernation to find a suburban housing development on their doorstep and a bloody great hedge between them and their foraging ground. The ragtag bunch panic, until a streetwise raccoon shows them how much their new human neighbours consume and waste.
Director Peter Ramsey
Cast Chris Pine, Alec Baldwin, Hugh Jackman (voices)
Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny and the Sandman enlist Jack Frost to stop Pitch Black from engulfing the world in darkness. Think of ‘Rise of the Guardians’ as a fantastical, animated Avengers movie.
Director John Stevenson and Mark Osborne
Cast Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, Ian McShane (voices)
Panda Po desperately wants to be a kung fu master but he’s stuck serving noodles in his father’s restaurant instead. Or at least he is until a mix up sees him named the chosen one, destined to bring peace to the land via the medium of kung fu.
Director Tom McGrath
Cast Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Jonah Hill (voices)Meet Megamind (voiced by Will Ferrell), a highly intelligent supervillain with a really, really massive head. He finally gets what he wants when Metro Man (Brad Pitt), his arch nemesis, is defeated, but what happens when his much-anticipated victory suddenly doesn’t seem so sweet?
Director Rob Marshall
Cast Meryl Streep, James Corden, Emily Blunt
The hit Broadway musical gets the big-budget Hollywood treatment. Meryl Streep stars as The Witch who curses a childless Baker (James Corden) and his wife (Emily Blunt) in this mash-up of famous fairytales. You’ll recognise lots of characters, but none of them are getting their usual happy ending.
Directors Steve Box and Nick Park
Cast Peter Sallis, Ralph Fiennes, Helena Bonham Carter (voices)
Wallace and Gromit took the big screen by storm with this wonderfully funny film, in which the eccentric inventor and his mute dog battle a mutant rabbit in danger of sabotaging the local vegetable-growing competition. Being an Aardman film, it’s intensely British and insanely imaginative.
Director Conrad Vernon and Rob Letterman
Cast Reese Witherspoon, Seth Rogen and Hugh Laurie (voices)Reese Witherspoon is the voice of Susan Murphy, a bride who is struck by a meteorite on her wedding day and grows 50feet in height. Her impending nuptials are then the last thing on her mind, when her new size attracts the attention of an evil alien.
Director Joe Dante
Cast Ethan Hawke, River Phoenix
One of the best kids’ movies of the ’80s, this heartfelt, stargazing adventure from ‘Gremlins’ director Joe Dante features star-in-the-making Ethan Hawke and River Phoenix as high-school dreamers who build their own spaceship. The magical air of Spielbergian wish-fulfillment is somewhat punctured by the whacked-out finale, but kids will lap it up nonetheless.
Director Chris Columbus
Cast Macaulay Culkin, Catherine O’Hara
In the archetypal ’90s kids’ movie, Macaulay Culkin is eight-year-old Kevin who wishes his family would just leave him alone. His prayers are answered when they fly to France for the Christmas holidays, forgetting all about him. The novelty, however, soon wears off when a couple of burglars target the house. Hilarious.
Director Sarah Smith
Cast James McAvoy, Bill Nighy, Jim Broadbent (voices)
Christmas is almost ruined for one little girl in this animation, when a high-tech new system fails to deliver her presents. The task falls to an elderly former Santa (Bill Nighy) and his clumsy grandchild (James McAvoy) to right the wrong before everyone wakes up on Christmas morning.

DID YOU FIND THE EASTER EGG???
Extra tags: arrow in the knee, dovahkiin, skyrim, morrowind, elder scrolls V, collab, newgrounds
It Was Alright
I only liked about two of them, the rest were either just OK or sub-par. What's interesting to me though, and this is kinda off-topic, but on Sam Green's, looking into the face of the Dovahkin just shouted "Killing Spree" to me and brought back so many nostalgic memories, I guess it was the mouth and the eyes.
Also, I heard SirUndead's voice in two of the videos, why isn't he credited?
The first 5 sucked.
The last one made me laugh hysterically.
PS: It's 'arrow IN the knee', NOT 'arrow TO the knee'.
2 and 6 made me laugh pretty hard, the rest weren't very good.
to much skyrim!
now i know skyrim is a great game and there is a lot of funny stuff that you can do with it... but can we please just let up on it for a bit. when i check newgrounds i see like 2 to 3 new skyrim videos every time and im just like "well great more skyrim videos... i guess ill have to watch them to see of they can compare to the really good ones". all im trying to say is that you and others should maybe start working on new topics.
i was a Human...

Next time you're chatting up a woman, open with humor. It'll go over better than you may think.
Turns out men have a hard time knowing how women respond to different pickup lines. That's according to a recent study from the University of Edinburgh.
In particular, the study said men can't guess how well humor and sexual innuendo will go over with women.
Humor works. We're not talking Carrot Top prop-comedy. Think dry wit, like Noel Coward. And if you have to look him up, that's great—you'll have something to talk about with her.
"The best pickup lines are the ones that are just so stupid you have to laugh, and that laughing will hopefully turn into an actual conversation," says Raechelle, 22, of Atlanta.
Sexual talk, on the other hand, doesn't work—though many men continue to think so.
Here's a short summary, through the prism of Lisa Daily, a dating expert and author of Stop Getting Dumped! Being funny "gives" women something (a laugh), while sexual innuendo implies you want to "get" something from women (sex).
Here's how the study worked: Men and women were shown 40 situations in which a man tried to start a conversation with a woman. The men and women rated each situation on how likely they thought the woman would be to continue the interaction.
The lines that the men tried fell into four categories: sexual, humorous, complimentary, or something that indicated he was a "good mate—such as discussing a painting at an art gallery or asking a female jogger who tripped if she was okay.
Turns out tha—surprise, surprise—men and women rated the scenarios differently.
Men overestimated how successful sexually explicit lines such as the candid, "Look, we get on pretty well, and I was just wondering if you want to have sex with me tonight?" would go over.
And men underestimated how positively women would react to comments that displayed positive traits like kindness, wealth, and honesty.
Women also gave higher ratings to humorous approaches ("Excuse me, I just noticed you noticing me and I just wanted to give you notice that I noticed you too. . . ") than men thought they would.
What Doesn't Work
Most sexual pickup lines don't work because they indicate you only want one thing—and that's not what women are looking for, says Susan Rabin, director of schoolofflirting.com and author of 101 Ways to Flirt.
"Women don't like to be sex objects," she says. "Men are very visual, and they see sex when they see a woman. It may be on your mind, but keep it off your mouth."
Being overly confident that a woman wants to sleep with you is a turn-off, says Daily. "With most women, sexually explicit pickup lines have the opposite effect of what you're hoping for—they repel women. Tone down the sex talk and you're likely to get more action.
"Women also tend to think that men who use these types of pickup lines have no depth. They're just a penis looking for a place to land," she says.

Thanks for printing! Don't forget to come back to Braxton Automotive for fresh articles!
Braxton Automotive recommends testing your vehicle four to six weeks prior to your registration renewal date, which is the birth month of the vehicle owner. An emissions test is good for 365 days. So there is no worry in doing it too soon.
- Testing early gives you plenty of time to repair your vehicle should it fail. You'll want enough time to repair and retest before you are hit with late penalty fees.
- A common reason for emission test failures is because a vehicle is "Not Ready". In most cases, in order for your vehicle to become "Ready", a one to two week drive cycle will need to be completed. If the drive cycle does not rememdy the problem, repairs may be needed.
- If you fail your emissions test, you have 30 days from the day of your test to receive a free retest.
- If you get caught driving with expired tags, you will most likely get a ticket. Prevent an unneccessary expense by testing early.

Tension is mounting between unions and the NSW government this morning, with teachers at a school in Sydney's north-west staging a mass walkout as the premier arrived for a tour.
Dominic Perrottet visited the school with NSW Minister for Education and Early Learning Sarah Mitchell this morning to welcome students into their new school on Term One.
About 40 teachers from Marsden High School gathered outside of Meadowbank Public School in Sydney's north-west holding signs which read: "More than thanks".
Yesterday, the NSW Teachers Federation voted unanimously to go ahead with a 24-hour strike on May 4.
In addition, if NSW Government MPs seek to enter school grounds, Teachers Federation members are authorised to walk out for as long as these MPs remain on-site.
The union said the NSW Government was given an opportunity all throughout Term One to come to the negotiating table to address pay concerns.
NSW Teachers Federation president Angelo Gavrielatos said there is a crippling teacher shortage because of the uncompetitive pay and heavy workloads.
"If we don't pay teachers what they are worth, we won't get the teachers we need," Mr Gavrielatos said.
"Acting on uncompetitive salaries and unsustainable workloads is the only way to stop more teachers leaving and attract the people into the profession we need to fix the shortages."
The union is calling for a wage rise of between five and 7.5 per cent.
Mr Perrottet was asked if he felt any angst from the teachers during his visit to Meadowbank Public School.
"No, not that I spoke to," he said.
"I have made it very clear that we're working through those issues with the unions right across the board."
Mr Perrottet said public sector workers have seen greater pay increases over their private counterparts over the past decade.
"We are going through those issues in a structured way to have a result that is fair and reasonable," he said.
Famous Sydney bridge turns 120 - and barely anything has changed
"As I've said, we want our teachers to be paid the best.
"Over the last 10 years, we have seen, in terms of public sector pay increases, in real terms, around 5.4 per cent.
"That's compared to four per cent in the private sector."
Mr Perrottet said he wants NSW to lead the way in providing pay increases, particularly in an inflationary environment.
"But it needs to be done in a way that is fair, that is reasonable and understands the position the state is in following a one-in-100-year pandemic," he said.
'A message needs to be sent'
Alisa Stephens is among the teachers who will walk off the job next week.
Ms Stephens told Today staff shortages are impacting schools across the state, and teachers "are drowning" in the work piled on top of them, but they are not being recognised for their efforts.
Alisa is also a mother of two boys and said she understands teachers going on strike causes difficulties for working parents, but a message needs to be sent to those in charge.
"We gave the current government a full term to come to the table and offer some real changes and some real improvements to our working conditions and nothing was done," she said of the last major teachers strike.
"A message needs to be sent. We want families to know that we are doing this with our students in mind.
"We genuinely care for our kids, we have real concerns about public education moving forward.
"Something has to change, so this is the message that we are choosing to send to the government."

As the star of the WB's short-lived Birds of Prey, Ashley Scott played no less than the love child of Batman and Catwoman. These days, she is contending with an equally far-out yet more sobering role on CBS' postapocalyptic hit drama Jericho (Wednesdays at 8 pm/ET). Will Emily ever find her MIA fiancé, whose plane was found abandoned after the blast? If not, might she restart her romance with Skeet Ulrich's Jake? And what does Em's portrayer know about the super-mysterious Hawkins? Episode 8 of Jericho airs tonight, but at the instant TVGuide.com caught up with Scott, she gushed...
Ashley Scott: I'm reading Episode 12 right now, and it's so exciting! It's so good. So good.
TVGuide.com: I think I've achieved some sort of trifecta here, having already Q&A'd Ali Larter (Heroes) and Amy Smart (Smith) this TV season. Aren't the three of you pals?
Scott: Yeah! Ali and Amy have been best friends for years and years, and I've known Amy for years.
TVGuide.com: How cool is it that Jericho defied the critics who harped, "Who wants to watch a dreary show about the apocalypse?" And here you are, chugging along.
Scott: We are chugging along, and I am so thankful and happy for that. Really, honestly, when I get the scripts, I'm so excited. I'm almost bummed that you guys aren't up to speed with what I know, because it's getting so good. As soon as I read the pilot I knew it was going to do well.
TVGuide.com: They dealt you a great dad in James Remar, eh?
Scott: Yeah! We did this scene last week where he was fantastic. He's got a great story line.
TVGuide.com: Do we see much of Emily in this week's episode, where the boys ride out to Rogue River to track down some meds?
Scott: No, this week is kind of light with Emily, because it takes place more outside of Jericho. They go out there to see what the world's like, and it's pretty devastating.
TVGuide.com: But next week, the CBS press release says, "Emily wakes up on the day she was supposed to be getting married to Roger."
Scott: Yeah, yeah, that's a good one!
TVGuide.com: All we know thus far is that his plane to Wichita landed safely. Is he definitely alive...?
Scott: Um, I think Roger comes around. [Laughs] It's kind of a flashback-y, posttraumatic-stress kind of thing, but eventually... yeah, there is life for Roger.
TVGuide.com: That's probably best, because I don't think Heather would give up Jake without a fight.
Scott: That's right, I think that that relationship will blossom. But you never know! It's nice right now, though, to have two female characters who aren't at each other's throats all the time. It's real life: Sometimes two girls fall in love with the same boy.
TVGuide.com: What's your favorite Jericho story line?
Scott: Oh, gosh... of course, I love Lennie James' Hawkins story line. And I'd love to know where Jake came from, what his story is....
TVGuide.com: I have to say, the kids' story is getting kind of cute, too.
Scott: The kids are really cute, and they're getting so good. You know who I really like, though, is Mimi (Alicia Coppola) and Stanley (Brad Beyer). They work really well together, and they've written them as this quirky Moonlighting-type relationship. It's a pleasure to watch them. I think Alicia is so fantastic.
TVGuide.com: You said that you have Episode 12 in your hands. How much more will we be learning about Hawkins in the weeks to come?
Scott: Oh, quite a bit.... It really kind of exposes it, and you really start wondering who did it, who was involved [in the nuclear attacks].... That all starts around Episode 9.
TVGuide.com: Will we find out anything more about the death of Emily's brother, Chris about how exactly he died?
Scott: We don't know how or why, but that starts to get revealed. There are a couple of scenes down the road with my father kind of explaining it, and how Jake was involved.... It's heavy.
TVGuide.com: If you were separated from the rest of the world, what could you not do without?
Scott: Besides a nice bottle of red wine? [Laughs] My husband. I'd like him to be around. It'd blow, otherwise!
TVGuide.com: I hope you take this the right way, but you played a great witch in Into the Blue.
Scott: Thank you!
TVGuide.com: We were rooting for your character to get eaten by the sharks.
Scott: Yeah, I was really excited to play that role. I found Amanda to be very interesting. Plus, it was wonderful to learn how to scuba dive and to do that every day!
TVGuide.com: That's what Jessica Alba said at the film's junket, that the shoot was almost like a vacation.
Scott: It really was I felt guilty almost getting paid for it. And now I scuba dive every chance I get.
TVGuide.com: Did your appearance in a few episodes of Dark Angel factor at all into your doing Into the Blue with Alba?
Scott: It just so happened that we were both exploring it together. It was nice to work with someone who you've already developed a relationship with especially if you're going to be hanging out down in the Bahamas!
TVGuide.com: How close did you get to any remotely deadly sea creature?
Scott: Oh, we were swimming with sharks every day. We would go out, and they'd throw chum in the water, and whatever came, that's what we would swim with. Of course, you had the trainers and the cameramen all [protected] in shark mesh, and we're flailing around in bikinis. [Laughs]
TVGuide.com: And barely, at that!
Scott: Yeah, barely at that. It was pretty gnarly!

In recent decades, Katayama has traditionally focused on producing fastening parts for hard-disk manufacturers. Over the past few years, though, the firm has increasingly sought to penetrate the automobile market.
“World production of traditional hard disks is decreasing,” Mr. Katayama says. “We see a reduction in sales for hard-disk applications. The automotive industry was something we looked to start supplying, and we began doing so seven or eight years ago. We mostly supply screws and rivets for engine-related parts.”
As the shift towards electric vehicles brings about a revolution in engine design, demand for fastening parts in this area of automobile manufacturing has begun to fall. However, Katayama is responding by developing new products for other vehicle components, with an emphasis on using lightweight materials.
“Making vehicles lightweight has become of paramount importance to many automotive makers, and it is rapidly becoming a key trend in the industry as batteries take over,” Mr. Katayama says.
Katayama is also working to branch out into new fields. “We’re targeting the medical sector, as well as the energy-related industry,” the company president explains. “When it comes to energy, we’re talking about equipment that’s becoming vital as the world pushes towards carbon neutrality.”
“We are trying to challenge ourselves because we live in an environment that is evolving pretty much every day. New opportunities are constantly presenting themselves and we don’t need to just rely on conventional products and means. Needless to say, we are trying to perform our best efforts in R&D activities and our company is trying out new solutions for our customers beyond the conventional product lineup we have. The thought is that we can potentially expand into these markets and use these new cutting-edge materials to diversify our product portfolio, thus capturing a wider range of industries.”


N.A.P., which stands for "Niggas Ain't Playin", was a gangsta rap group from Indianapolis, IN, made up of Keylo-G, Ya-Yo, C-Rocc, Mel-Capone, Big Blu & Lil Muny.
They first appeared on a local tape by the House Of Villians in 1994 on Felony Records.
Then they released 3 albums between 1996 and 2002 ("Let's Get This Money" & "Straight Out The Nappy City", both in 1996 on Felony Records and "Nappy City Heavyweights" in 2002 on Platinum House Entertainment).
"Straight Out The Nappy City" (1996) was supposed to be taken from a forthcoming album, "Noth'n But A Come-Up" that was never released for some unknown reason. It's a shame because the EP is arguably the best release from Naptown...
N.A.P. also appeared on 2 classic midwest rap compilations, "Midwest Funk Volume 2" (1997) and the absolute must-have "Midwest Gatekeepers North/South G.I. Compilation" (1997).
Keylo-G, one of the founding members of the group, also dropped several solo releases since 2000 until he passed away in 2018...

In its answer to the European Commission Consultation on the ex-post evaluation of the Driving Licence Directive, the ETF Road Transport Section has put professional drivers at the core of its contribution. The Consultation, launched by the European Commission in October 2020 with a deadline of yesterday, collected input to determine if changes to the Directive, which aims to improve road safety and facilitate free movement of citizens across the EU, are necessary.
The ETF welcomes the initiative and underlines in its contribution the need to examine the reality of drivers when considering certain changes and puts forward recommendations that will improve the sector’s level-playing field.
One of the questions explored by the Consultation is that of lowering the age limit of professional drivers. The ETF is of the firm opinion that this will not mitigate the shortage of drivers in the road transport sector. Young people avoid joining the industry due to irregular work schedules, inadequate rest (see recent ETF research on driver fatigue), long periods away from home, and poor pay levels. Only a socially sustainable sector can solve these issues. Until then, the ETF is not in favour of the lowering of the minimum age.
Creating a level playing field between professional drivers from the different EU Member States and those from third countries can help create a socially sustainable sector. The recommendations put forward by the ETF on medical certificates, driving licences issued by third countries, training and extension of rules to light goods vehicles set out a path forward to achieving this. Indeed, all professional drivers, including third-country drivers, must be subject to the same requirements, whether for training, medical certification or obtaining a professional driving license. Additionally, the improvement of these training standards and the inclusion of new technologies and traffic safety education is necessary.
Furthermore, to ensure consistency, road safety and medical fitness of all drivers, the ETF highly recommends that existing rules and driving requirements extend to light goods vehicles which are used more and more frequently in international transport or cabotage operations.
The ETF will be actively participating in the process and will be keeping a close eye on developments.

I am the type of person who loves colour. I love wearing bright colours, immersing myself in nature’s bright colours, using natural cookware in vibrant colours, and decorating my non-toxic home with colour. Of course, I love eating a rainbow of colours too – but only the natural hues found in nature. Synthetic food dyes are a no-go for me, but over the years I’ve done some experimenting to create natural food dyes as a colourful replacement.
What Are Food Dyes?
Food dyes are synthetic chemicals used to colour food. They are commonly used in canned, frozen, dried and packaged foods, as the manufacturing process results in a food that is dull and lifeless-looking. Fake colours brighten things up, making canned cherries look more red or dried apricots more orange, for example.
Where You Find Food Dyes
Food dyes are commonly found in:
- Canned fruit
- Ready-made icing/frosting
- Drink mixes (juice, hot chocolate, etc.)
- Ice cream
- Granola bars
- Salad dressings
- Pickled vegetables
- Potato chips
- Canned soup and soup mixes
- Cake, cookie and brownie mixes
- Bottled sauces or sauce mixes (e.g. powdered gravy)
- Beauty care products
You’ll also tend to find food dyes in products for kids. One study of 810 common grocery store products found that 43% of items marketed to children contained artificial food colours. The highest percentage of products with food dyes were candies (96.3%), fruit-flavoured snacks (94%) and drink mixes/powders (89.7%). Another study concluded that children were actually consuming more food dyes than previously estimated.
When you combine those synthetic dyes with the copious amounts of sugar in these products, well, that is just a recipe for lifelong health challenges.

Recognizing Food Dyes on Labels
How do you recognize food dyes? As with anything else, read those labels. The common artificial colours are:
- FD&C Blue No. 1 (brilliant blue)
- FD&C Blue No. 2 (indigo carmine)
- FD&C Green No. 3 (fast green)
- Orange B (this one isn’t used that often anymore, but isn’t banned)
- Citrus Red No. 2
- FD&C Red No. 3 (erythrosine)
- FD&C Red No. 40 (allura red)
- FD&C Yellow No. 5 (tartrazine)
- FD&C Yellow No. 6 (sunset yellow)
It can get a bit tricky when there are also a wide range of things used to colour food including annatto, caramel and even spirulina. For more information to help with your label sleuthing:

Health Risks of Artificial Food Colours + Dyes
I delve into food colours in detail in Stop Feeding Kids These 5 Ingredients, but I’ll recap again here.
Here are a few of my concerns about synthetic dyes:
- Food dyes are carcinogenic or potentially carcinogenic and genotoxic.
- Food dyes are linked to hyperactivity. This meta-analysis of 15 clinical trials concluded that food colouring has neurological consequences and while they may not always cause hyperactivity, they certainly exacerbate it.
- Food dyes inhibit the growth and development of tissues in the nervous system.
- Food dyes can cause hypersensitivity reactions, including allergies, food intolerance or asthma.
- The amount of exposure matters. According to this analysis, “Young children may have a higher dietary exposure to chemicals than adults due to a combination of rapid growth rates and distinct food intake patterns.”
How to Create Natural Food Dyes
I think, for the most part, when people are looking for natural food dyes it’s because they want to colour their baked goods, icing and treats. When we cook whole foods from scratch, the vibrant colours of kale salads, curries, smoothies, turmeric tea, roasted veggies and the like don’t need adulteration. Still, it’s fun to make some pretty treats! Here is how to create natural food dyes at home.
- Many natural food colour options use fruit. You can either use fruit juice, blitz freeze-dried fruit or try puréed fruit.
- Natural food colours aren’t always as vibrant as the synthetic. Often, you’ll end up with pale colours.
- Some natural food colours will affect the flavour/sweetness of what you’re colouring. For example, turmeric is a strong flavour. Start off with a small amount (and a pale colour), especially if you are making treats for children who may have more sensitive palates.
- Red beets
- Blueberries, blueberry juice or freeze-dried blueberries
- Spinach powder
- Kale juice (or any green juice)
- Wheatgrass juice or powder
- Matcha powder
- Yellow beets
- Puréed raspberries or raspberries
- Freeze-dried raspberries/strawberries
- Blood oranges
- Goji berries
- Blackberries, blackberry juice or freeze-dried blackberries
- Purple cabbage juice

In recent weeks it has come to light that Epsilon, a multi-faceted network marketing and consulting firm, had a significant security breach.
Anyone with an account connected to certain large banks and firms that outsource their e-mail/customer relations management to Epsilon, has received an apologetic e-mail notification about the data security breach.
Technology is evolving at a faster pace than people can adapt it and understand it. At the same time the information and data that the average person is willing to divulge on the World Wide Web is exponentially increasing. Protecting your Internet footprint and the trail of information connected to your unique IP address will make it nearly impossible for a computer hacker or identity thief to access your personal information
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) will add this layer of security by anonymizing your IP address, thereby encrypting any data transferred across your network.
There remains only one issue that could potentially expose your network to malicious attacks. If your router or Internet gateway is not properly secured, then an outside user may be able to gain backdoor access to your network.
Our routers come preset with DD-WRT, an open-source firmware that gives you access to advanced controls and specialized benefits. The most important of these additional features is the ability to place a VPN passthrough within the routers’ internal configuration.
OverplayVPN (a well-established VPN provider) has taken the extra step of programming an exclusive add-on feature within the browser-based, DD-WRT router settings. This add on, labeled MyPage in your DD-WRT settings, allows you to login, select VPN server locations, and connect to OverplayVPN inside your router.
Any device that connects (wired or wireless) to your new FlashRouter will be secured under the umbrella of this advanced VPN security and will be assigned an IP address in the same country as your selected VPN server location.
Additional security features within DD-WRT allow you to designate a separate guest network within your home so that any visitor attempting to access your Wireless Network will not expose your Home Network to possible unwanted intrusions.
When a major Internet security firm like Epsilon has its network exposed to hackers, it shows the importance of taking every possible step to protect your own network.
If you are ready to secure your Home Network, while accessing advanced router controls and benefits, without having to worry about technical setup issues, then FlashRouters is here for you!
Head over and check out our selection of FlashRouters.

The winner of the Best New Mobile Electronics Product at the SEMA Show this week was App-Tronics for its SmartNav 5.
The awards were presented on the opening day of the SEMA Show Tuesday in Las Vegas.
The SmartNav 5 is a rear view replacement mirror with a large embedded 5-inch capacitive screen with 600 nit brightness so it displays clearly even in sunlight.
It works with a backup camera to show the blind zone behind the car, and it can work with a smartphone to give audible navigation cues and play music.
App-Tronics claims the mirror itself is smaller than most other mirrors and that is the first of its kind that does not “get washed out” in sunlight.
At $279, the unit uses a fast 800MHz processor with high internal memory so that it doesn’t freeze when linking over Bluetooth to the user’s address book.
You can see the winners in other categories here.

France has long been an inspiration for chefs, with their well groomed cuisine, traditions and love for fine food and entertaining being unmistakable. Chef Curtiss was fortunate to spend a significant amount of time in France. While Paris is the icon of french cuisine it was the countryside and its people that captured his attention. Join Chef Curtiss as he prepares a holiday menu inspired by his time in France.


The American Civil Liberties Union has filed a class action against the Palm Beach County, Fla., school district, claiming its low graduation rate is a violation of the Florida Constitution.
Even using the “most generous” measures, the lawsuit says, almost a third of the students in the 175,000-student district do not graduate. The graduation rates of black and Hispanic students, which are lower than those of white students, further establish that the district is failing its students, it says.
“And, the consequences for the students and the county are devastating, as those who leave school without even a high school diploma are significantly less able or likely to share in the American dream,” says the lawsuit, filed March 18 in Palm Beach County circuit court.
Christopher Hansen, a senior staff attorney for the ACLU Foundation in New York City, said Florida voters in 1998 strengthened the state’s constitutional guarantees of a “uniform, efficient, safe, secure, and high-quality” public education as part of a larger governance overhaul. In many other states, courts have determined that constitutional language about education is unenforceable, he said.
The lawsuit asks that the court require the district to adopt an accurate definition of graduation rates. It also asks that the district be required to improve both the overall graduation rate and the rates for minority students, low-income students, and English-language learners, starting with the 2008-09 school year.
Muslima Lewis, the director of the ACLU of Florida’s Racial Justice Project, said the groundwork for the legal action began a year ago, with meetings with parents whose children weren’t doing well in school.
“The students and parents of Palm Beach County are just as deserving as the parents and students of any other district,” Ms. Lewis said.
Superintendent Arthur C. Johnson said the system recognizes the graduation-rate gap between minority and white students, and is working hard to address it with initiatives geared to improving graduation rates for all students.
The district’s enrollment is 42 percent white, 28.6 percent black, and 22 percent Hispanic.
According to the lawsuit, the graduation rate for black students is 29 percentage points lower than the graduation rate for white students. The graduation rate for Hispanic students is 20 percentage points lower than for white students.
“We don’t have the same playing field among all our students, and that’s the challenge,” Mr. Johnson said. “When you have students who don’t have the 24/7 nurturing that some students have, a lot of their schooling is undone by their more worldly education.” Mr. Hansen said such an argument doesn’t deflect the responsibilities of the Palm Beach County district.
“To say that the county sends us defective kids, and we do the best we can, I find unpersuasive and offensive,” he said. “Their job is to educate all the children.”
The ACLU lawyers had been in discussions with district officials over the issue, Mr. Johnson said. Anticipating legal action, the school board recently voted to obtain outside counsel.
The lawsuit is particularly difficult to understand, the superintendent said, because Palm Beach County is doing better on its graduation rate than almost every other urban district in the state. “It almost didn’t matter what we did, because they were looking for a model case,” Mr. Johnson said. “We want the same things. But I cannot be supportive of selective enforcement.”
Hard to Calculate
One of the major issues cited in the lawsuit is the varying methods that can be used to calculate the district’s graduation rate. It outlines three methods, each measuring different school years, and each yielding different results. But the lawsuit does not say which method the plaintiffs would like the district to use.
Under Florida’s method, the district had a graduation rate of 71.4 percent for the 2006-07 school year, the lawsuit notes.
Another calculation method—developed by Sherman Dorn, a professor at the University of South Florida in Tampa—attempts to correct for what the ACLU deems inaccuracies in the state’s reporting method. According to Mr. Dorn’s calculations, the district’s graduation rate was 58.1 percent for the 2005-06 school year, compared with 69.3 percent reported to the state by the district.
A third measure, the Cumulative Promotion Index, was developed by Christopher B. Swanson, now the director of the Editorial Projects in Education Research Center. The center is an arm of the nonprofit corporation that publishes Education Week, and its research on graduation rates is used in the newspaper’s annual Diplomas Count report.
That index showed an overall graduation rate for Palm Beach County of 56.1 percent in the 2003-04 school year, the lawsuit says.
None of the methods is entirely accurate, the lawsuit says. But other Florida districts of similar size to Palm Beach County appear to have better graduation results, it says. For example, using the CPI method and information gathered for the 2003-04 school year, the Hillsborough County district had a graduation rate of 75.1 percent, and Orange County had a rate of 65.6 percent. Palm Beach’s rate for that year was 56.1 percent.
Gary Orfield, an education professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, and the co-director of the Civil Rights Project/Proyecto Derechos Civiles, a racial-justice organization that is housed at UCLA, said that it may be difficult for the ACLU to prove its case. “But, there’s a big history of using lawsuits to expose inequity,” he said.

Guidance is absent in our societyI learned Japanese while serving as Tokyo correspondent, and in order to not forget the language, I download a Japanese radio program on my smartphone to listen to during my commute.
“Sunday Paradise” is hosted by popular TBS anchor Shinichiro Azumi. Even though I do not understand the whole thing, I listen to it religiously. The following is an episode from the show.
“We are living in a strange world where talking to a kid in the same apartment building makes you a strange man. There is a manual that says you are not allowed to talk to them face to face but it is okay to talk when you are passing by. Also, you can’t ask where they live or go to school but you can talk about yourself. So instead of asking where they live or if they like their school, I say, ‘I live in this apartment’ or ‘I am tired of my job.’?”
Azumi discussed the manual provided for grown-ups on how to deal with neighborhood children without being mistaken as a kidnapper. He is known for exaggerating to make mundane stories interesting, but this manual actually exists. Japan is indeed a country of manuals.
A three-year Seoul correspondent for a major Japanese newspaper told me an interesting story. Her children go to a Japanese school in the city, and she received a letter from the school in late April that said: "Last week, a student was absent because of the flu. When students take school busses, please make sure they wear masks.”
It was based on a manual that states all students are required to wear a mask on school buses when there is a flu patient. Twenty days later, parents got another letter stating that the school is now flu-free, and students do not need to wear masks any more.
Just as some Japanese manuals are considered excessive, the “urgent MERS alert” text message sent by the Ministry of Public Safety and Security surprised me. I was amazed by the fact that the “emergency” message was sent 17 days after patients were diagnosed and that the content was hardly “urgent.” As if trying to prove the saying, the empty vessels making the most noise, the alert was loud and lacked substance.
Having witnessed the chaos after the MERS breakout in Korean society, a Seoul correspondent for a Japanese media outlet revealed a rather diplomatic opinion.
“I am not sure which is more abnormal, Japan’s excessive manuals or Korea’s absence of manuals,” they said.
Which would you choose between the restraint of an excessive manual and the chaos of no manual? What happened to the emphasis on manuals in Korean society after the Sewol ferry incident?
