Canon 1D Mark III vs Leica D-LUX 5
The Canon EOS-1D Mark III and the Leica D-LUX 5 are two digital cameras that were officially introduced, respectively, in February 2007 and September 2010. The 1D Mark III is a DSLR, while the D-LUX 5 is a fixed lens compact. The cameras are based on an APS-H (1D Mark III) and a 1/1.7-inch (D-LUX 5) sensor. The Canon has a resolution of 10.1 megapixels, whereas the Leica provides 10 MP.
Below is an overview of the main specs of the two cameras as a starting point for the comparison.

Going beyond this snapshot of core features and characteristics, what are the differences between the Canon EOS-1D Mark III and the Leica D-LUX 5? Which one should you buy? Read on to find out how these two cameras compare with respect to their body size, their imaging sensors, their shooting features, their input-output connections, and their reception by expert reviewers.
The side-by-side display below illustrates the physical size and weight of the Canon 1D Mark III and the Leica D-LUX 5. The two cameras are presented according to their relative size. Three consecutive perspectives from the front, the top, and the back are available. All width, height and depth measures are rounded to the nearest millimeter.
If the front view area (width x height) of the cameras is taken as an aggregate measure of their size, the Leica D-LUX 5 is considerably smaller (71 percent) than the Canon 1D Mark III. It is worth mentioning in this context that the 1D Mark III is splash and dust resistant, while the D-LUX 5 does not feature any corresponding weather-sealing.
The above size and weight comparisons are to some extent incomplete and possibly misleading, as the D-LUX 5 has a lens built in, whereas the 1D Mark III is an interchangeable lens camera that requires a separate lens. Attaching the latter will add extra weight and bulk to the setup. You can compare the optics available for the 1D Mark III and their specifications in the Canon EF Lens Catalog.
Concerning battery life, the 1D Mark III gets 2200 shots out of its LP-E4 battery, while the D-LUX 5 can take 400 images on a single charge of its BP-DC10 power pack. As can be seen in the images above, the 1D Mark III has a battery grip built in. This facilitates image-taking in portrait orientation and gives it additional battery power.
The following table provides a synthesis of the main physical specifications of the two cameras and other similar ones.

Any camera decision will obviously take relative prices into account. The manufacturer’s suggested retail prices give an idea on the placement of the camera in the maker’s lineup and the broader market. The D-LUX 5 was launched at a lower price than the 1D Mark III, despite having a lens built in. Normally, street prices remain initially close to the MSRP, but after a couple of months, the first discounts appear. Later in the product cycle and, in particular, when the replacement model is about to appear, further discounting and stock clearance sales often push the camera price considerably down. Then, after the new model is out, very good deals can frequently be found on the pre-owned market.
The imaging sensor is at the core of digital cameras and its size is one of the main determining factors of image quality. A large sensor will generally have larger individual pixels that offer better low-light sensitivity, provide wider dynamic range, and have richer color-depth than smaller pixels in a sensor of the same technological generation. Moreover, a large sensor camera will give the photographer more control over depth-of-field in the image and, thus, the ability to better isolate a subject from the background. On the downside, larger sensors tend to be associated with larger, more expensive camera bodies and lenses.
Of the two cameras under consideration, the Canon 1D Mark III features an APS-H sensor and the Leica D-LUX 5 a 1/1.7-inch sensor. The sensor area in the D-LUX 5 is 91 percent smaller. As a result of these sensor size differences, the cameras have a format factor of, respectively, 1.3 and 4.4. The sensor in the 1D Mark III has a native 3:2 aspect ratio, while the one in the D-LUX 5 offers a 4:3 aspect. The D-LUX 5 has the particularity of featuring a switch that allows to toggle between multiple aspect ratios, while maintaining the same field of view and full image resolution.
With 10.1MP, the 1D Mark III offers a slightly higher resolution than the D-LUX 5 (10MP), but the 1D Mark III nevertheless has larger individual pixels (pixel pitch of 7.21μm versus 2.14μm for the D-LUX 5) due to its larger sensor. However, the D-LUX 5 is a much more recent model (by 3 years and 6 months) than the 1D Mark III, and its sensor will have benefitted from technological advances during this time that further enhance the light gathering capacity of its pixels.
The Canon EOS-1D Mark III has a native sensitivity range from ISO 100 to ISO 3200, which can be extended to ISO 50-6400. The corresponding ISO settings for the Leica D-LUX 5 are ISO 80 to ISO 3200, with the possibility to increase the ISO range to 80-12800.
Consistent information on actual sensor performance is available from DXO Mark for many cameras. This service assesses and scores the color depth ("DXO Portrait"), dynamic range ("DXO Landscape"), and low-light sensitivity ("DXO Sports") of camera sensors, and also publishes an overall camera score. The table below summarizes the physical sensor characteristics and sensor quality findings and compares them across a set of similar cameras.

Many modern cameras cannot only take still pictures, but also record videos. The D-LUX 5 indeed provides for movie recording, while the 1D Mark III does not. The highest resolution format that the D-LUX 5 can use is 720/60p.
Apart from body and sensor, cameras can and do differ across a variety of features. For example, the 1D Mark III has an optical viewfinder, which can be very useful when shooting in bright sunlight. In contrast, the D-LUX 5 relies on live view and the rear LCD for framing. That said, the D-LUX 5 can be equipped with an optional viewfinder – the EVF1. The table below summarizes some of the other core capabilities of the Canon 1D Mark III and Leica D-LUX 5 in connection with corresponding information for a sample of similar cameras.

One feature that is present on the 1D Mark III, but is missing on the D-LUX 5 is a top-level LCD. While being, of course, smaller than the rear screen, the control panel conveys some of the essential shooting information and can be convenient for quick and easy settings verification.
The 1D Mark III writes its imaging data to Compact Flash or SDHC cards, while the D-LUX 5 uses SDXC cards. The 1D Mark III features dual card slots, which can be very useful in case a memory card fails. In contrast, the D-LUX 5 only has one slot.
For some imaging applications, the extent to which a camera can communicate with its environment can be an important aspect in the camera decision process. The table below provides an overview of the connectivity of the Canon EOS-1D Mark III and Leica D-LUX 5 and, in particular, the interfaces the cameras (and selected comparators) provide for accessory control and data transfer.

Studio photographers will appreciate that the Canon 1D Mark III (unlike the D-LUX 5) features a PC Sync socket, so that professional strobe lights can be controlled by the camera.
Both the 1D Mark III and the D-LUX 5 have been discontinued, but can regularly be found used on eBay. The 1D Mark III was replaced by the Canon 1D Mark IV, while the D-LUX 5 was followed by the Leica D-LUX 6. Further information on the two cameras (e.g. user guides, manuals), as well as related accessories, can be found on the official Canon and Leica websites.
So how do things add up? Is there a clear favorite between the Canon 1D Mark III and the Leica D-LUX 5? Which camera is better? A synthesis of the relative strong points of each of the models is listed below.
Reasons to prefer the Canon EOS-1D Mark III:
- Better image quality: Features bigger pixels on a larger sensor for higher quality imaging.

If the number of relative strengths (bullet points above) is taken as a guide, the 1D Mark III is the clear winner of the match-up (15 : 11 points). However, the relevance of individual strengths will vary across photographers, so that you might want to apply your own weighing scheme to the summary points when reflecting and deciding on a new camera. A professional wedding photographer will view the differences between cameras in a way that diverges from the perspective of a travel photog, and a person interested in cityscapes has distinct needs from a macro shooter. Hence, the decision which camera is best and worth buying is often a very personal one.
How about other alternatives? Do the specifications of the Canon 1D Mark III and the Leica D-LUX 5 place the cameras among the top in their class? Find out in the latest Best DSLR Camera and Best Travel-Zoom Camera listings whether the two cameras rank among the cream of the crop.
In any case, while the comparison of the spec-sheets of cameras can offer a general idea of their imaging potential, it remains incomplete and does no justice, for example, to the way the 1D Mark III or the D-LUX 5 perform in practice. User reviews that are available, for instance, at amazon can sometimes shed light on these issues, but such feedback is all too often partial, inconsistent, and inaccurate.
This is where reviews by experts come in. The following table reports the overall ratings of the cameras as published by some of the major camera review sites (cameralabs, dpreview, ephotozine, imaging-resource, and photographyblog). As can be seen, the professional reviewers agree in many cases on the quality of different cameras, but sometimes their assessments diverge, reinforcing the earlier point that a camera decision is often a very personal choice.

Care should be taken when interpreting the review scores above, though. The assessments were made in relation to similar cameras of the same technological generation. A score, therefore, has to be seen in close connection to the price and market introduction time of the camera, and rating-comparisons among cameras that span long time periods or concern very differently equipped models make little sense. Also, kindly note that some of the listed sites have over time developped their review approaches and their reporting style.

Letter: Duncan will work for solutions
EDITOR: On Aug. 12, residents of the 72nd Assembly District will go to the polls to chose a Democratic candidate to oppose incumbent Rep. Scott Krug for a seat in the Wisconsin Assembly.
We have come to know attorney Dana Duncan over the last seven months through numerous meetings and social interactions. We are impressed with Dana's willingness and ability to dig deeply into the issues that are affecting all of us here in central Wisconsin. Not only does Dana dig deeply into the issues, but he also then formulates potential policy ideas on how to alleviate or solve the problem. He is a genuine, creative "idea man."
Dana has dug deeply into the issues with high-capacity wells and the threatened factory farm in Saratoga. He is well aware that the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has become hamstrung and dysfunctional under the current administration in Madison and has a list of ideas on how to improve that situation.
As a practicing attorney, Dana works with people from all walks of life. He has publicly stated his willingness to work across the aisle in Madison to get things done. He will work to diminish the polarization that currently infects Wisconsin politics.
For these reasons and others too numerous to list, we urge everyone to vote for Dana Duncan on Aug. 12.
Bill Leichtnam and Bruce Dimick,

Jewel Cave is famous for its variety of cave decorations. The cave has a soda straw with the length of 5.40 m, the longest straw to be found in any tourist cave in Australia. Actually it would by quite hard to find one of this length in any show cave of the world, but nobody ever made a ranking for this. And even more impressive are the fine, hollow soda straws with massive growth of calcite crystals at the lower end. Straws are hollow and tubular, their diameter varies with the diameter of a water droplet between 2 mm and 9 mm. And they consist of calcite crystals and are quite brittle. It is really exceptional that the straws are not destroyed by their own weight. Other spectacular speleothems are helictites. There are also cave corals, pendulites, and other strange forms of calcite minerals. And there is a very large stalagmite called The Karri Forest.
The various forms of crystals were the reason why a small chamber in the lower sections of the cave was named Jewel Casket. And after it the cave was named Jewel Cave. Originally it was known as Wind Hole and it was first mentioned in the early 20th century. In January 1957 Cliff Spackman and other found a small hole in the ground which had a strong draft of air blasting out of it. He was lowered into the cave down a 12 m shaft into a large chamber. One year later, in Februar 1958, it was explored by Cliff Spackman, Lex Bastian and Lloyd Robinson. They discovered 2 km of cave passage and the lowest point of the cave, 42 m below the entrance and only 24 m asl. Their report was so extraordinary, the cave was immediately developed as a show cave which was opened less than two years later.
The discovery of fossils, Tasmanian Tiger (Thylacinus cynocephalus) dated at 25,000 BP, make Jewel Cave an important site for research. The tasmanian tiger is extinct today, the youngest bones discovered so far are from the Murra-El-Elevyn Cave on the Nullarbor plain. It is dated at around 3,200 – 3,400 years old, so the animal went extinct about at that time.
The lowest level of the cave sediment, a marine sediment was dated to an age of 780,000 BP. At this time the cave was flooded by a raised sea level. This means that the cave is older, it was already there, when this happened. And this means the limestone is even older. As a result the limestone is estimated be older than approximately 1 million years ago. In geology, it is often not possible to date something directly, so events which happened before or afterwards are dated to narrow it down.
The cave has recently undergone an intensive cleaning and restoration program. It cost AUD 3.1 million and included the renovation of the 50-year-old surface buildings, a new cave entrance, a tunnel into the cave, and a new visitor centre with museum, shop and café. A new environment friendly light system (LED) has also been installed. The planning and the renovation work took eight years, the cave was closed for six months and reopened in February 2011.
Today the cave is entered through the new artificial entrance tunnel and a huge chamber is reached. It is still rather close to the surface and the trees above (karri and marri) are sending their tap roots down into the chamber looking for moisture. You can see the roots at the ceiling. The trees which succeed in reaching the cave have a stable source of moisture and survive draughts, while the others don't. The trail in the cave was built as an elevated trail over considerable distances, as a footbridge that stands on stilts. This disturbs the actual cave floor as little as possible, and dripstones are neither prevented from growing nor destroyed. Theoretically, such a footbridge could be dismantled in a few weeks and the cave would be almost as it was before. And also the cave fauna can easily pass under the footbridge where a concrete path might stop them. The trail is also very safe for visitors as it has small LED lamps illuminating the trail independently of the cave light. And the floor of the bridge is a special carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer grating, dripping water flows through and so it never gets slippery. Numerous such concepts for cave protection have been developed in Australia over the last 30 years.
When Jewel Cave was developed for tourism in 1959 it contained a spectacular lake which became a major attraction on the cave tour. By 1988 the groundwater table had dropped by more than one metre, the lake and its famous reflections were gone. The water table has continued to decline and there is no chance to see the lake in the near future. Quite astonishing is the fact that neither human consumption of groundwater nor low rainfall were responsible. Actually the reduction of bushfires is the reason, because a dense growth of understorey vegetation and accumulation of ground litter consumes the water before it reaches the water table.

CHICAGO (WLS) — A new person accuses Father Michael Pfleger of Saint Sabina of sexual abuse.
Chicago attorney Eugene Hollander said his client, a man in his 40s, filed a complaint with the Archdiocese of Chicago.
Pr. Pfleger became a priest in the Archdiocese of Chicago in 1975. And in 1981 he became the pastor of St. Sabina.
In a statement released Saturday, Cardinal Blasé Cupich said Fr. Pfleger was asked to step down from the ministry while an investigation is underway, and Pfleger agreed.
The man claims the abuse happened while he was a member of the Soul Children of Chicago choir in the 1980s.
In the complaint, the man said he was sexually abused by Pfleger twice in the parish rectory.
RELATED: Archdiocese of Chicago Adds Dozens of New Names to List of Priests and Clergy Accused of Sex Abuse
Hollander said the man is not speaking publicly about the investigation at this time.
He is the third man to file a lawsuit with the Archdiocese of Chicago accusing Father Pfleger of sexual abuse.
In January 2021, two brothers filed a lawsuit accusing Pfleger of sexual abuse. Months later, another man submitted an affidavit alleging Pfleger touched him sexually and gave him drugs and alcohol in the 1970s, but never formally filed a complaint, officials say. . At the time, all three men were also represented by Hollander.
Pfleger returned to Sainte-Sabine in June 2021 after a five-month investigation by the archdiocese and DCFS based on allegations by two brothers. These allegations were found to be unsubstantiated.
RELATED: Saint Sabine’s Father Michael Pfleger Accused by Third Man of Sexual Abuse
“Let me clarify – I am completely innocent of this accusation,” Pfleger said in a statement released Saturday. “While I am confident that the new allegation will also be found unsubstantiated, this process is so unfair and painful to me and the community I serve.”
Cardinal Blase Cupich sent a letter to members of Saint Sabina informing them of the allegations against Pfleger.
Cardinal Cupich also said the person behind the allegation was offered the services of the Archdiocese’s Ministry of Victims Support.
Religious services continued on Saturday evening, as concerns weigh heavily on the community of Sainte-Sabine.
“We went down this road last year, and now we’re doing it again,” said Pam Bosley, a dad supporter. Pfleger
Saint Sabina’s pastor, Father Thulani Magwaza, will serve as trustee when he returns from his visit with his family in early November, Cupich wrote. Until then, Father David Jones will serve as temporary administrator.
RELATED: Father Michael Pfleger Opens Up About Depression, Suicidal Thoughts During Abuse Inquiry
“The well-being of children in our care remains our priority. The Archdiocese of Chicago takes all allegations of sexual misconduct seriously and encourages anyone who has been sexually abused by a priest, deacon, cleric or lay employee to come forward,” Cupich wrote. .
Andrew M. Stroth represents The Soul Children of Chicago and their longtime director, Dr. Walter Whitman.
“On behalf of Dr. Whitman and the Soul Children, we denounce these recent allegations. When the Soul Children rehearse at St. Sabina or other locations, we always have chaperones. We always have parents present,” said Stroth.

Ax-il-la is commonly referred to as ‘the armpit, home to hundreds of sweat glands that help control your body temperature and work tirelessly to expel harmful toxins from your body through perspiration.
Black Chicken Remedies is the brainchild of Chey Birch. She began experimenting with aromatherapy in 1989 in Bondi, Australia. Chey was very conscious we absorb what we put on our skin. She wanted to find a way to reduce the chances of developing chronic health conditions, to assist the body in a natural way and harness the therapeutic power of natural oils to enhance wellbeing, physically and spiritually.
Black Chicken Remedies benefits are not only absorbed through the skin but also through the olfactory system. The fragrance itself, with hints of the tropical and deep surf notes, is a powerful activating factor. Designed for men and women, it responds differently with each, and the unique experience it provides transcends gender.

Google's AMP-lified Content to Be Prioritized In Mobile Search
Google today said people should see AMP'd content appear most prominently in mobile search. Google kicked of AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages Project) last year with the goal of improving web page load times on the mobile web. AMP uses HTML and other standards to let web publishers optimize their content for mobile so it renders quicker over wireless connections. Google says AMP'd content loads four times faster and uses one-tenth the data of non-optimized content. Google initially partnered with more than 30 publishers, but the number of publishers and amount of content had increased over time. AMP'd articles will appear in the Top Stories section of search results.
Google's AMP Stories Let Web Publishers Tell Tap-Through Stories with Photos and Videos
Google today announced a preview of AMP stories, a new tool for creators to bring content to the mobile web in a new and engaging way. AMP stories were inspired by the likes of Snapchat and Instagram, which both offer people the ability to tell on-going, ephemeral stories that others swipe through.
Google Search for iPhone Gets AMP'd
Google today updated its Google Search app for the iPhone and added several new features. The most significant improvement is support for Google's accelerated mobile pages, or AMP.
Facebook to Make Its Instant Articles Compatible with Google, Apple Formats
Facebook wants content to be more readable across the web and took steps this week toward that goal by tweaking the SDK for its Instant Articles. Facebook's Instant Articles give publishers a way to streamline content for consumption on mobile devices, but Instant Articles aren't compatible with the mobile-first styles used by Google and Apple.
Google Improves Link Sharing from AMP Articles
Google this week made it simpler for mobile device users to share AMP articles. AMP articles are specially formatted for viewing on mobile devices and load faster than standard web sites.
Google Says Developers Can Use AMP for Email to Boost Gmail Experience
Google today said it is porting its AMP technology to Gmail. Developers now have access to AMP for Email, a tool that allows them to create interactive, actionable email experiences that take place within Gmail itself, rather than secondary browser windows.

Mike Heine/The Week
(Published Aug. 28, 2007, 9:38 a.m.)
Residents' phones were ringing in Walworth County and that had the sheriff's department's dispatch lines lighting up, too.
Over summer, the Walworth County Deputy Sheriff's Association, a labor organization representing Walworth County's deputies, used telemarketers for its annual fund-drive, which ended recently.
The money raised goes to the organization, not the sheriff's department. The confusion from the calls has led to complaints to the department, Sheriff David Graves said.
"You're not talking to a deputy sheriff," when money is solicited, Graves said. "The money is not coming back to this department. It's real confusing to people."
Graves said his dispatchers and administrative staff had received "numerous" complaints that the telemarketers were rude and were implying that they were deputies. Graves did not have a number, but said his staff fielded several calls per day the last couple months.
"I don't know how these telemarketers are representing themselves. They may not be saying they are sheriff's deputies, but they are making an inference," Graves said. "It's confusing to people and it's upsetting people."
The telemarketers are with a private company hired by the association. It is used because of the success in obtaining donations for the association's scholarship fund, said Deputy Bob Wierenga, association president.
"Telemarketing is not something people enjoy and we understand that," Wierenga said. "In spite of that, we did fairly well."
In time, the scholarship fund should become self-sustaining and the calls should stop, Wierenga said.
The association is in its third year of a five-year contract with the telemarketing company, National Public Advertising Associates out of Chicago, Wierenga said.
Wierenga has heard of very few complaints and was surprised about the Graves' stance on the calls.
"I know hundreds of people who received calls from this firm who have donated," Wierenga said. "I question each on whether or not they are led to believe a sheriff (employee) was calling them and they said, 'no.'"
Wierenga said he discourages the telemarketers from coming off as sounding like deputies, but can understand how it might be confusing. The callers are persistent.
"When I'm made aware of those kinds of situations I immediately call the owner of the company and tell them that this has to stop," Wierenga said.
Graves says he is not against the fund-raising efforts, but said the association should be clearer.
"I just wish the telemarketers that are working for the deputy sheriff's association would explain themselves better so the public can make an informed decision on whether they want to donate or not," Graves said.
Wierenga said the calls will start again next summer. He hopes to have some of the differences cleared up by then.
"We have huge support from the community both business-wise and residential-wise," Wierenga said. "The complaints the sheriff is talking about are minimal compared to the thousands of calls that are made during the course of this campaign. By in large, we get more positive comments of support than we do negative.
"Every single complaint bothers me. I'd like to not see it happen. I'll make every effort to try and make it complaint-free."

In January of 1987 Professor James Dickey taught one of the most brilliant poetry courses in the nation. Dickey offered the course as both professor and poet to graduate students in the Ph.D program in English at the University of South Carolina. In addition to being an excellent teacher, Dickey inspired his graduate students to be excellent researchers. He praised the Library of Congress as being one of the greatest library collections in the world.
On Friday October 18, 2013, the Library of Congress provided the customer service that would have made Professor Dickey proud. On a beautiful day in Washington as visitors again returned to its hallowed halls, the Library of Congress provided the type of service that only a world class library can provide. The present writer's important Library of Congress identification and access card was renewed in five minutes until 2015.
Here is the story. With encouragement from Professor Dickey, the present writer began his research at the Library of Congress in 1987. The first visit to the Madison Building was memorable because the library had a copy of the 1972 literary work by a young writer from South Carolina who was inspired by the work of Daniel Alexander Payne (1811-1891).
Professor Dickey called the Library of Congress, “Thomas Jefferson’s dream,” because the library began with books donated by President Thomas Jefferson. It is truly amazing that a small donation of books by Jefferson would eventually grow into one of the largest library collections in the world.
As a literature professor at Howard University the present writer often took his Howard students to events at the Library of Congress. When Poet Rita Dove became the first African-American poet laureate at the Library of Congress it was a cause of celebration and students were given an introduction to the vast collections in the Jefferson Reading Room.
The Library of Congress has three principle buildings on Capitol Hill: The Adams Building, the Madison Building, and the Jefferson Building. Each building houses unique collections. For example, as a journalist the Madison building is a research treasure trove as the newspaper and periodical section is located there. Newspapers from around the world are stored there. The Jefferson Building hold the main reading room and has card catalogs that create a sense of history by allowing a scholar to research actual paper cards that may have been touched by the most brilliant minds in the world.
In addition to the National Book Festival, the Library of Congress offers cultural programs year round to give Americans the opportunity to experience many aspects of American history and culture. Many great American scholars and poets have given lectures at the Library of Congress. The government shutdown, the days when the doors of the Library of Congress were locked, closed, and shut down, made the importance of that incredible resource that much more precious.
After 40 years of using the resources available through the Library of Congress the service was never truly appreciated until it was no longer available. Thank goodness the Library of Congress is open for business.

In honor of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian’s head-turning “Bound 2” video, Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi dedicated a special Christmas card to the Hollywood “it” couple.
Last year too Ellen and Portia's holiday card was inspired by Kim Kardashian. For their 2013 card, the couple re-enacted a pose from the Kimye's Bound 2 song, with Ellen as Kanye West and Portia as Kim straddling her as they rode on a motorbike. Last year, Ellen and Portia copied Kim's topless motorcycle ride with Kanye West in his “Bound 2” video for their yuletide greetings.

After a few more back and forth responses that made Ellen realize that mum was the word, she asked why Kylie wasn't in the famous family's annual Christmas card photo. " Um, I don't know. You gotta ask Kylie, " Khloe said. Ellen DeGeneres reveals the Christmas card she and wife Portia De Rossi came up with for this year on Monday's show, and whaddya know? It was also centered.

Raw garlic has proven antibacterial qualities, and can be a powerful dietary supplement. In addition to boosting immunity, garlic in the diet is a high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and cancer-risk reducer, not to mention its super-antibacterial abilities.
But the main objective people have to ingesting garlic is the powerful and long lasting odor it has. Although it can wonderfully enhance the smell and flavor of food, once eaten, a lingering bad breath effect can last for hours, or even days in some people.
Garlic stench is a very real chemical side effect of ingesting one of nature’s best miracle drugs. Studies have been conducted for years on the best ways to alleviate the garlic smell from the breath. Once the garlic is ingested, however, it is in the blood and may just take several days to naturally dissipate, depending on the quantity ingested and one’s personal body chemistry.
One of the ways thought to get rid of garlic smell was through drinking milk. Although dairy doesn’t cure garlic breath, milk related studies weren’t too far off. It was determined that drinking milk after ingestion did in fact reduce the presence of allyl mercaptan, diallyl disulfide, methyl mercaptan, and allyl methyl sulfide (the major volatile compounds responsible for garlic breath) in the nostrils and mouth. It was further determined that ingesting garlic mixed with milk reduced the presence of the compounds even more.
Vigorous testing of isolated dairy characteristics indicated that lactose had little or nothing to do with these effects. Rather it was the water which makes up 80-90% of the volume in milk that did the trick. It was also noted that fat intake helps break down this odor.
Drinking plenty of water with garlic intake will reduce odors significantly. Scent-masking is more productive when water, fat, and garlic are ingested simultaneously, as opposed to water and fat intake post-garlic-ingestion, or a dose of garlic as an isolated part of your diet.
So maybe a little garlic mayo on the sandwich with a healthy glass of cold water or milk really is a good meal.

As head of innovation for the Shanghai-based XNode powered by HighTechXL, Luuk Eliëns has devoted the past two years to helping to build scalable tech companies in China. Speaking at the recent Beyond Tech HighTechXL showcase at the High Tech Campus Eindhoven, Eliëns told the audience: “China is the new frontier of innovation. Not next week, not tomorrow, but today”. Explaining that Eindhoven is generating technology that China would like to make use of, he argued that this innovative Dutch city is in a prime position to collaborate with the Asian giant from a position of strength – provided that it takes smart precautions to protect its technology.
“We need to be smart, and not naïve, by creating win-win solutions. The two core lessons that I have, from my experience over the past two years, are, firstly, to make sure you keep your IP and technology in Europe and that you do a licensing deal with your Chinese counterpart. Secondly, find a good local partner to help you go to market.”
Indeed, following the uproar and debate related to industrial espionage at the Dutch tech company ASML, there is growing resolve to approach such collaboration in a smart fashion.
Making the case for the growth opportunity in China, and why he believes it is the foremost technological powerhouse globally, Eliëns pointed to the scale of resources to which China has access, the range of innovation development models that exist simultaneously in China, the role of the Chinese government in strategically pushing innovation forward, and the rapid rate of adoption of new technology by the Chinese consumer.
A new university each week
Knowledge resources in China are growing at a staggering pace, driving the capacity for innovation. “In China, a new university is opened every single week. And the sheer pool of resources and talent is paying off; China is producing twice the number of patents as the US, and ten times as many as in Europe.”
These resources are being applied in a way which is becoming far more interesting and complex than the “copy and paste” approach that had been typical in the past. Eliëns described the emerging models of technological innovation as ranging from “copy and integrate” (e.g. incorporating many more functionalities than the original technology), and “integrate and design” (e.g. incorporating completely new experiences), to application research (e.g. the developments in facial recognition).
“China is moving from ‘copy and paste’, towards fundamental research, and is going there very, very fast.”
Using high-speed train technology as an example, he showed that, until 2005, China didn’t even feature in a global ranking of the length of train networks by country. Today, it has 25.000 kms of high-speed rail network. It started by importing the underlying power-train technology, from Germany and the US. It improved this technology over time to the extent that it is now exporting this technology all over the world. “So, what started as copy and paste, has become copy and improve. That’s innovation in China.”
Strategic push from government
The role of government in pushing forward innovation in China is pivotal. Eliëns described the approach as “extremely strategic and much more open than we [as outsiders] think”. The government’s ambition to become the top artificial intelligence (AI) player in the world by 2030 has prompted it to target local tech giants. Baidu (in the area of autonomous driving), Alibaba (smart cities), Tencent (healthcare), iFlyTek (voice intelligence) “are all heavily subsidised and incentivised to develop this raw R&D technology for AI, with one important precondition: that the technology developed needs to be accessible to different partners and startups in China. So, the technology that is developing needs to be open source… That is how strategic the government is”.
The picture of China as an innovation powerhouse is completed with his view that the consumer is willing to adopt innovation at a rapid rate. To a large extent, this is owing to the emerging nature of the economy, which means that China is leapfrogging directly to the latest technologies. For instance, mobile payments technology has quickly been adopted across industries and across demographic groups, as consumers transition from cash, and bypass the now-outdated banking and payments technologies entrenched in more-developed economies.
“Whether you like it or not, China is the new powerhouse of innovation. We need to face the facts. If we don’t, we will miss the boat.”

OKINAWA, Japan --
If noncommissioned officers are the backbone of the Marine Corps, then lance corporals are the muscles that keep it moving. As all enlisted Marines and warrant officers know – not to mention the Mustang officers who ascended the enlisted ranks before earning a commission – lance corporals hold a special place in the heart of the Corps.
Gone are the days of “Lance Corporal don’t know,” and the “Lance Corporal salute.” Today’s Marine Corps E-3s are smarter, faster, stronger and more tech savvy than the old salts from years gone by. They are the iGeneration, seemingly raised with a cell-phone fused to their fingers at birth. They are more familiar with Snapchat and Instagram than cable TV and VHS tapes. They are a digital generation, and they fit uniquely and seamlessly with the Marine Corps’ vision of a connected ‘strategic corporal,’ ready to fight and win America’s battles as much with technology and ingenuity as with bullets and pure grit. The bedrock for tomorrow’s Marine leaders is the ability to make sound and ethical decisions in a world flipped on its head during the past two decades.
Enter the “Lance Corporal Leadership and Ethics Seminar.”
The weeklong training is required for all lance corporals vying for a blood-stripe and much-coveted place in the NCO ranks. The Marine Corps’ Enlisted Professional Military Education branch instituted the program in 2014 to “bridge the gap between the initial training pipeline and resident Professional Military Education,” according to the seminar’s Leader Guide. The seminar prepares junior Marines to face the challenges of an evolving, uncertain and dangerous world 19 years into the 21st Century.
“Our lance corporals are the gears that keep this machine moving,” said Sgt. Maj. Edwin A. Mota, the senior enlisted Marine with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit in Okinawa, Japan. “The Lance Corporal Seminar is vital to their success this early in their careers. Whether an enlisted Marine stays in for four years or 30, they will never forget the leadership lessons they learned – both good and bad – as a lance corporal.”
Each seminar has a cadre of NCO and staff NCO volunteers who lead small groups through physical training, guided discussions and scenario-based training. The idea is to get lance corporals to think critically, both on and off duty, to help prepare them for a leadership role as a corporal, sergeant and beyond.
“As a lance corporal in the infantry during the 90s, it was a completely different Marine Corps than it is today,” said Mota. “We took orders and we carried them out without a lot of questions. Our NCOs, staff NCOs and officers didn’t expect us, as lance corporals, to understand the strategic-level significance of our training and operations back then. But today, the Marine Corps cannot afford for our lance corporals to not know how they affect our mission at the tactical, operational, strategic and diplomatic levels.”
Enlisted PME is a central component for measuring an enlisted Marine’s leadership potential and their fitness for promotion, regardless of rank. The seminar is usually a first term Marine’s introduction to formal military education and sets the tone for future PME courses as NCOs and staff NCOs. The guided discussions and scenario-based training is designed to help junior Marines to think critically before acting instinctively, according to 19 year old Lance Cpl. Dylan Hess, a mass communication specialist with the 31st MEU and a student in a recent seminar.
“As a lance corporal, we are expected to follow orders and get the job done, regardless of our job,” said Hess, a native of Vacaville, California who enlisted in September 2017 after graduating from Will C. Wood High School. “During the seminar, we were challenged to rethink our role as junior Marines. In today’s Marine Corps, especially here in Japan, everything we do is a representation of all American’s stationed here and the seminar helped us better understand why the decisions we make, on and off duty, are so important as ambassadors to our hosts here in Okinawa.”
The lessons learned during the seminar will help tomorrow’s leaders refine their leadership ability, according to Hess.
“Today’s generation joins the Marine Corps for many different reasons, but our commitment to the Marine Corps is the same as any other Marine from past generations. Many of the junior Marines today don’t remember 9/11, don’t remember the battles in Iraq and Afghanistan, but we’re still committed to always being prepared for our next battle, and the Lance Corporal Seminar definitely gives us a better understanding of leadership challenges and opportunities as we grow into the NCO ranks.”

Joe Arpaio Wannabe Quits Following Racist Text Message Scandal
A sheriff in Georgia who wanted to bring notorious anti-immigrant Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio’s methods to his jurisdiction has resigned following a scandal over racist text messages.
The Newnan Times-Herald reports:
Embattled Grantville Police Chief Doug Jordan has officially resigned.
On Friday Jordan was suspended upon allegations of several text messages that were allegedly sent by Jordan to Grantville police officers which contained derogatory language - specifically the “N-word,” according to Grantville Mayor Jim Sells.
“When we approached the chief in regards to these allegations, he did not deny them and accepted some culpability,” Sells said. “Following this revelation, he was immediately placed on suspension.”
Grantville City Council was originally slated to discuss the reasons of the suspension and review their options in regards to Jordan during a closed session Monday evening. However, since Jordan resigned on Sunday, the matter will not be taken up since he is no longer an official city employee.


New Delhi: Like several other regional parties, BSP chief Mayawati on Sunday appointed her brother and nephew to key positions in her Bahujan Samaj Party. Ms Mayawati’s brother Anand Kumar has been named the party’s national vice-president, her nephew Akash Anand has been made the party’s national coordinator.
Amroha MP Danish Ali, who switched over to the BSP just before the Lok Sabha polls, has been made BSP’s leader in the Lok Sabha. Nagina MP Girish Chandra has been appointed the chief whip.
BSP leader Ramji Gautam was also named as the party’s national coordinator. The appointments were finalised at a meeting in Lucknow attended by top party leaders.
Akash Anand’s elevation is being seen as a sign of his growing influence in party affairs. Akash, who is the son of Ms Mayawati’s younger brother Anand, made his political debut in May 2017 when he accompanied her to Saharanpur.
At the meeting where the appointments were finalised, the BSP chief opposed the BJP’s “one nation, one election” idea aimed at holding simultaneous Lok Sabha and state Assembly elections, saying it was the saffron party’s ploy to win all elections through the one-time “manipulation” of EVMs.
CBI may switch to regular cases to probe sugar scam
Trouble seems to be brewing for BSP supremo Mayawati as CBI is likely to convert its three preliminary enquires (PEs) into regular cases to probe the alleged irregularities in the sale of 21 state-owned sugar mills during the tenure of the then state chief minister Mayawati.
Sources said, “Based on the evidence collected by the investigators, the CBI may convert its three PEs into regular cases. The CBI will soon seek clarifications from at least two former senior bureaucrats of the Uttar Pradesh government as part of its investigation.”
The sale of mills during Mayawati’s tenure in 2011-12 had allegedly led to a loss of `1,179 crore to the state exchequer, they added.
The agency had recently registered an FIR and six preliminary enquiries (PEs) to probe the alleged irregularities.
However, BSP supremo had denied the allegations and accused the centre of misusing the CBI during elections. “The case pertaining to the sale of 21 state-owned sugar mills during her tenure as UP chief minister is being given a political colour,” she said.
The BJP government under Yogi Adityanath had recommended a CBI probe in the matter on April 12 last year. The agency has so far not named any official of the UP government or any politician of the state as accused in its first FIR, sources said.
Seven private persons, who had allegedly submitted forged documents during the purchase of the UP State Sugar Corporation Ltd mills, had been booked by the agency, they added.
The state government had sought a CBI investigation into the sale of the 21 sugar mills, and forgery and cheating in the purchase of seven closed mills in Deoria, Bareilly, Laxmi Ganj, Hardoi, Ramkola, Chittauni and Barabanki.
It is alleged that the Mayawati-led government had sold the 21 mills, including 10 operational ones, below market price, which led to loss.
