Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental disorder that can cause unwanted repeated feelings or thoughts (obsessions) or cravings to do things again and again (compulsions). Sometimes people suffer from both obsession and compulsion behaviors.
What is OCD?
OCD stands for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and this is a psychological disorder that involves primarily two kinds of symptoms. You have obsessions and these are unwanted thoughts, ideas, or images that a person doesn’t want to have. You can’t stop them coming to mind and you create a lot of anxiety and stress.
And compulsions, are the things that a person tries to get rid of the obsessional thoughts or the associated anxiety. Sometimes, these behavior takes on rich unrealistic and composite quality.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder OCD isn’t just about thinking negative thoughts or biting your fingernails. Some people may consider certain colors or numbers “good” or “bad.” Due to compulsion, some people wash their hands seven times after touching anything that may be dirty.
Despite the fact that you don’t want to think or act on these things, you just can’t help yourself.
We all have repetitive thoughts or behaviors sometimes. But, the following thoughts or actions are characteristic of people with this mental illness:
- Consuming a lot of time during the day.
- Are out of your control
- Totally depressive
- Conflict with your social life, work, or personal life

OCD symptoms and types
There are many forms of OCD, however, most cases fall into four broad categories:
For example, checking door locks, alarm systems, kitchen stove, ovens, or light and appliances switches or thinking about a mental illness like schizophrenia, or checking pregnancy (through strips)
It can be a fear or a compulsion to clean things that can be dirty. Feeling contaminated in the mind is the feeling of being treated like dirt.
Organized and symmetry
Everything has to be arranged in a certain order
Ruminations and unwanted thoughts
An obsession with an idea. Thoughts of violence or distress could either come from these ideas.

Obsessions and compulsions
OCD patients are often aware that their habits and thoughts don’t make sense. The reason behind they do is not because they enjoy them, but actually, they are not able to quit. Stopping makes them feel bad enough to start again.
Symptoms of obsessive thinking
- Worry about yourself
- Worries about hurting other people
- Persistent awareness of body sensations such as blinking or breathing
- Doubt that a spouse is unfaithful , without any reason to believe it
Symptoms of compulsive habits
- Hand-washing again and again
- Counting the items in particular patterns
- Making sure the doors are locked repeatedly
- Ensuring the kitchen stove is off repeatedly
Everything you should know about: Obsession and Compulsion
Obsessice compulsive causes
Doctors are unsure about what causes OCD. OCD can get worse if you are stressed. Females are affected more than males. Teens or young adults are often affected by these symptoms.
OCD risk factors
- A child or sibling with OCD or a parent who suffers from OCD
- Physical abnormalities in some parts of your brain
- Tics, Anxiety or Depression
- Having experienced trauma
- An abuse history as a child
The streptococcal infection may sometimes become the cause of OCD in kids. This is referred to as PANDAS, or Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders caused by streptococcal infections.

If you think something else is causing your symptoms, your doctor may perform a physical examination and blood tests. Doctors will also discuss your feelings, thoughts and habits.
OCD is incurable. But you can control the symptoms by using a combination of medicines, therapy, and other treatments that affect your daily activities. Treatments are:
Changes in your thinking may occur when you undergo cognitive behavioral therapy. The doctor will engage you in a situation meant to trigger anxiety or excite compulsions, which is called exposure and response prevention.
You’ll learn to control OCD thoughts or behaviors and later stop them.
Stress can be mitigated through simple things such as meditation, massage and yoga.
Most obsessions and compulsions can be controlled with psychiatric medications known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. It may take 2 to 4 months for them to start working.
There are many prescription medications that help with depression, such as sertraline (Zoloft), fluvoxamine, paroxetine (Paxil), escitalopram (Lexapro), and citalopram (Celexa).
but, if you still experience symptoms, your doctor might prescribe antipsychotic drugs like risperidone (Risperdal) or aripiprazole (Abilify).
There are few cases, however, when therapy and medication do not work enough to make a noticeable change. In these cases, your doctor might refer you to a therapy that involves devices that alter the electrical activity in a specific brain area.
There is one type of stimulation FDA-approved for OCD treatment that is called transcranial magnetic stimulation. It stimulates nerve cells using magnetic fields.
Another procedure is such a complicated technique for treating OCD is to implant electrodes in the brain.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)
The TMS machine is a non-invasive device that induces a magnetic field above the head for treatment. The aim of this meditation is to control OCD symptoms by targeting a specific brain part.

THE Department of Tourism (DOT) is throwing its support behind proposals to implement a globally recognized Covid-19 passport to help restore trust and confidence in the travel and tourism sector.
“The DOT supports the suggestion of Mr. Lance Gokongwei to come up with a global Covid-19 passport to facilitate international cross border travel with stringent health and safety measures in place,” said Tourism Secretary Bernadette Puyat on Wednesday, Dec. 9, 2020, during the yearend tourism stakeholders forum hosted by budget airline Cebu Pacific.
“The DOT recognizes that a Covid-19 passport is vital to reviving international travel as it will restore the trust and confidence of people to travel to other countries while assuring receiving countries that their inbound tourists have been vaccinated,” Puyat added.
On Monday, Dec. 7, Cebu Pacific president Lance Gokongwei said the proposed Covid-19 passport is essential as the world reopens international travel vis-a-vis the different vaccines that will be available in the coming year.
He said the implementation could be done through government-to-government agreements.
DOT Undersecretary Benito Bengzon Jr., during the panel discussion, said there have already been initial discussions about the proposed Covid-19 passport and the agency is also looking at various options and exploring ways for tourists to move around easily, safely and conveniently.
Moreover, Puyat said the discovery of the three vaccines is a significant progress in the world’s fight against Covid-19, but until these are made available to everyone, “the international travel will most likely be restricted to select zones between countries that have little to no cases of infection.”
“Because we have no control over factors affecting the Covid-19 situation worldwide, we have focused our attention on restarting domestic tourism and creating safe travel zones within our country,” the tourism chief said.
President Rodrigo Duterte has approved the roadmap for the implementation of a vaccination program Covid-19. Priority will be given to the poor and indigent and frontliners (healthcare workers, soldiers, policemen, servicemen, essential services).
Vaccine czar and National Task Force against Covid-19 chief implementer Carlito Galvez said a vaccine will most likely be available in the Philippines in a worst-case scenario by the end of 2021 or early 2022.
But he was hopeful that the Philippines could access 10 to 15 million doses in the second quarter of 2021, particularly in May, June or July.
He said that among the pharmaceutical companies that are in talks with the Philippines, Astra Zeneca has offered the lowest price at US$5 per dose.
Meanwhile, after a series of careful planning and collaboration, Puyat said some destinations have safely and sustainably reopened their destinations to tourists in the last quarter of 2020. Included in the initial batch were Boracay, Baguio, El Nido, Ilocos Sur, Ilocos Norte, Lapu-Lapu City and most recently Coron and Siargao.
She said more will be reopened in the coming weeks, keeping the sector’s momentum as it approaches 2021.
The DOT is also looking forward to the creation of travel bubbles with nearby countries. (KOC)

So the UK government’s decision to spend an extra £45m on developing IoT technologies is a welcome and needed development, according to the analyst.
The list of UK firms hoping for business grwoth from IoT include ARM, with its low power processors, wireless chip firm CSR and white-space radio firm Neul along with a growing number of smaller companies that are achieving substantial revenues by providing IoT middleware – for example, New Forest Communications in Dorset and London-based Stream Communications.
UK companies are preparing for a year of growth and opportunity in 2014. So-called Internet of things technologies are expected to provide business opportunities in various applications ranging from smart metering to automotive and retail.
“Without a shadow of a doubt the biggest opportunity for the industry is the ‘Internet of Things’ and everything that it encompasses,” said Joep van Beurden, CEO of CSR. “2014 will be the turning point for technology moving from just connecting people through the Internet to connecting almost everything. This represents massive opportunities in not just hardware, but also in software, devices and services,” said van Beurden.
The expectation is that hardware and software firms can benefit from the opportunity offered by extending mobile communications networks to connect systems and machines as well as mobile phones.
For the mobile networks alone, IoT generated $10bn in revenues worldwide in 2013 for mobile network operators, and this will increase to $88bn by 2023, says Morgan Mullooly.

Another day and another garden to visit! We are seeing so many beautiful gardens in this year’s Atlanta Connoisseur Tour! This garden I named the White Garden and as we will see I think the name fits………I love white in the garden and I like garden rooms and this garden had both, so let’s go first by the wood pile! Mind the trellis~
That matches the trellis here………
Our first entertainment area was found just beyond the first white trellis……..
with a lovely etched out sitting area……
Look at this table! I wondered if the table had been glass topped at one time and replaced with the gravel? What a great idea!!!!!
I’ve seen so many bee/bug houses in the Atlanta gardens, even this one, that I decided to get one for my garden too!
The first garden room is the vegetable patch……..
divided by white brick walls……
and a leafy trellis that takes us in to another garden………
Someone was clever enough to paint the strawberry jar to match the features in the garden and the home……….
Marigolds might keep the critters away…
if they are like this big boy…….
and here are large, large, planters, bustling with white…….
as well as here in the terraced planter………..
and here’s a look at the other “whites” in the garden AND you can see how the gardens are separated……..
in the middle of the garden is the pool area. What I liked the best in this garden was the ability to see the entire garden and pool area from any of the house extensions…. We see the pool house in this photo, with it white settees.
and from this view……
This was the inside of the pool house. The color theme was carried out from the black and white in the garden and house.
and this is the entertainment section of the home, where you can see the garden from inside or sit on the porch………
This is a great way to train confederate jasmine on a wall……..if it is like mine, it won’t take long to fill that wire completely in……..
This photo shows the effect of a white garden….. the lattice fence, the plants, the planters………very quieting……
On the other side of the garden was the third entertainment area……….the indoor dining area.
Who wouldn’t want a lemon tree and plates on the wall?
I have to take one more look at the garden before we head out for another one……. This was the most manageable and convenient garden so far!
Where are we going next? All the gardens have been so different! See you in the garden!
To see what is happening at the Atlanta Botanical Garden the rest of the year look HERE.

What a charming house and garden. Where are we off to next?
It seems like we may never get out of Atlanta, doesn’t it Sheree? A few more gardens to go and then I am off to the Baltics!
LikeLiked by 2 people
What a delightful “fool the eye” wall garden of lemons! Really clever, like the graveled patio table. Some people lay mosaic tile on their glass-top tables, I’ve read. Wonder whether these substances are easier to keep clean after windy weather spells? I’ve been enjoying these Atlanta garden visits with you. One more to go, eh?
What a stunning setting!

As an example, in вЂњMatchmaker,вЂќ an algorithm paired individuals predicated on their traits that are stated desires. In this artwork, at the least, everybody surely got to satisfy their partner.

Often we have tangled up with a balloon weвЂ™d instead move away from, and often we lose a small atmosphere. Often we straight-up combust. But ultimately, weвЂ™re all on our method up, floating skyward towards some bright horizon, where we’re going to ultimately bump in to the love of our everyday lives.

Myles Jack said he was operating at around “80 percent” during UCLA Pro Day on March 15. The UCLA linebacker had declared for the NFL draft shortly after tearing his meniscus in September. (Thomas Cordova/Staff)
First, the stories that appear in today’s edition of the Los Angeles Daily News:
— UCLA breaks its four-game losing streak in Tucson with a superlative two-way effort from freshman Myles Jack.
— Columnist Vinny Bonsignore, with a look at quarterback Brett Hundley’s performance.
More notes and quotes from the wild 31-26 win at Arizona Stadium, which kept the Bruins in control of their own postseason destiny:
— A lot has been and will be written about Jack, so for now, let’s stick with a roundup of comments from coaches and teammates.
Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez had high praise too: “The guy is a great athlete, a great player. He’ll be a first-round pick as a linebacker. We tried to recruit him as a running back.” Continue reading “Notes and quotes: UCLA holds off Arizona in big division win” »
Defensive end Keenan Graham was often used as a blocker in the “PAC” formation that featured freshman linebacker Myles Jack at tailback. The senior said the look, which offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone came up with this week, flustered Arizona’s defense.
“I was looking at the faces of the defensive players,” Graham said. “Some of them didn’t know what was going on. They didn’t know what to check to. They were overwhelmed.”
With sophomore Ellis McCarthy already sidelined and senior Cassius Marsh ejected for a personal foul, defensive end Keenan Graham ate up snaps. The senior had his fifth sack of the season, the best mark in the Pac-12.
“I’m disappointed, honestly, with the way I played,” Graham said. “I got a sack, but I’ve got to go back to the film room. I know there’s a lot of mistakes I made.”
Former four-star recruit Keenan Graham has been juggled from around the front seven. Under Rick Neuheisel, he was a 4-3 defensive end. When Jim Mora arrived at UCLA, Graham became an outside linebacker.
Now back at defensive end in the Bruins’ 3-4 scheme, the senior has a first-team regular in fall camp and an effective pass rusher. He should easily top the career-low nine tackles he amassed as a junior.
“I’m kind of more a finesse guy,” Graham said. “I can power through every now and then, but finesse is my thing. I’m always thinking beforehand what kind of move I’m going to do. You’ve got to have one move, and then a counter-move.”
When asked about the defensive line, head coach Jim Mora called the 6-foot-1, 247-pound end one of the “bright spots” of fall camp: “He plays with really good pad level, great leverage. He gets under guys.”

People often ask for restaurant recommendations in Dakar. I’m a bit hesitant to do so simply because if there’s one thing that’s consistent about the food scene in Dakar, it’s that it can be inconsistent. So in order to give a nice, well-rounded view of things, I’m asking readers to give their opinions as well. If you’d be willing to participate, please email me!.
Today we’re hearing from Brenda, an American mom who arrived in Dakar last year.
Favorite pizza: The best pizza we’ve had was poolside at King Fahd. I’m not sure it would be worth the effort to get it for dinner, but if you are ever there, enjoying a day at the pool, we definitely recommend it!
Favorite place for a burger and fries: Still looking for a really good burger. We’ll have to try some of the other recommendations.
Favorite ice cream: Some places have a better atmosphere or are easier to get to, but when we want good ice cream (and a lot of it), N’Ice Cream is the place we go!
Favorite little beach restaurant: Le Recif in Almadies. Well, it might not technically be considered a beach restaurant, but it is right on the water with an amazing view.
Favorite old standby: Ceasar’s downtown for their chicken nuggets.
Favorite place to order a good coffee: I love the coffee, atmosphere and pastries at Presse Café.
If I were stranded on a deserted island and could have only one of Dakar’s restaurants, it would be: Assuming it was a hot deserted island, I’d have to say N’Ice Cream. Maybe not the most practical, but just think, I could eat a different flavor everyday until I was rescued.
What is missing from the Dakar food scene? Authentic Mexican.

Rabbi Shmuel Kamenetsky, the senior member of the Moetzes Gedolei Hatorah of Agudath Yisrael, was transported to a hospital in Philadelphia on Monday after experiencing what appeared to be a stroke.
Rabbi Kamenetzky, 98, expressed discomfort after participating in the levaya of Rabbi Meir Hershkowitz, the Rosh Yeshiva of Stamford, in Lakewood on Monday.
He was brought to the hospital, where medical professionals discovered that he had had a stroke.
According to family members, his alertness and responsiveness are stable, but the coming hours will be crucial for his medical condition because of his old age.
Please offer prayers for Rav Shmuel Ben Eta Etil, the Rosh Yeshiva, to recover quickly.
Former President Donald Trump complimented the work of Torah U’Mesorah and mentioned Rav Shmuel, who sits on the rabbinical board, during a speech at the Torah U’Mesorah president’s conference in December.
Rav Shmuel has a “young man” appearance, according to Trump. They told me your age, and I’m unsure I can believe it. There must be something pleasant about becoming a rabbi, I guess.

Grilled Pork Loin Chops with Honey Lime & Jalapeno Glaze
|1 cup||Liquid Bee Maid Honey|
|juice of||Two limes|
|4 tsp.||Pureed chipotle peppers (smoked jalapenos)|
|4 tsp.||Cold water|
|2 tsp.||Fish sauce|
|¼ cup||Chopped cilantro|
|zest of||Two limes|
|3 pork||Loin chops, rib end and double cut*|
|For a||Fancy presentation, ask your butcher to “French” the bones. Different cuts, such as pork chops, can also be used.|
Place BeeMaid honey, water, lime juice and peppers in a saucepan over medium heat. In a separate bowl, mix cold water with cornstarch; ensure that mixture is lump-free. When the honey, water and lime juice begin to boil, slowly stir in the cornstarch and water mixture. Bring back to a boil and cool. When cool, add fish sauce, cilantro and lime zest. This glaze can be made 4 to 5 hours in advance. (This intensely flavoured glaze is also recommended for chicken or shrimp.)
Preheat grill for five minutes on high; then turn down to medium low. Season the chops with salt and pepper. Grill over medium low heat for approximately 15 minutes, depending on thickness of the chops. For thick chops, a thermometer will read 150 degrees Fahrenheit for slightly pink and 165 degrees Fahrenheit for cooked through without drying out. When meat is done, drizzle with glaze and serve. This dish goes well with baby bok choy, shitake mushrooms and rice noodles. Other appropriate side dishes include rice or roast potatoes, grilled vegetables or a stir-fry.
One way to complement this sweet and tangy sauce is to savour a concentrated, classically oaked white, such as Mission Hill’s Family Estate Reserve Chardonnay. The tropical fruit and vanilla flavours create a delicious marriage.

The changing weather patterns are making it difficult for farmers in the country to plan using the traditional knowledge of the two planting seasons, which previously were easier to predict.
Farmers in Busia blame erratic weather patterns, high cost of fertilizers and fall army worm infestation for the poor production this season that has triggered food insecurity.
They called on the government to facilitate irrigation farming and consider employing adequate extension field officers to advice farmers on the best farming practices in the wake of climate change.
Agriculture, being an important sector in the economy of Busia County, contributing 60 percent of the GDP, is now facing numerous challenges resulting from harsh effects of climate change.
In a move aimed to explain why hunger threats still loom large in Busia county, Agriculture Extension officer in the county, Jackline Amadi said fall armyworm pest and high cost of fertilizer have contributed immensely to the poor harvest experienced this season, adding that scanty rainfall as well as striga weed are to blame too.
“Climate change is one of the most defining concerns of today’s world and has greatly reshaped or is in process of altering the earth’s ecosystems. It has really impacted on agriculture negatively in this county,” noted Amadi.
“Climate change and increased weather variability has been observed and is manifested in the increase in frequency and intensity of weather extremes, including high temperatures leading to prolonged drought and erratic rainfall patterns,” she added.
A former Agricultural Finance Corporation managing director Lucas Meso echoed her sentiments urging the government to fully adopt irrigation farming as opposed to rain-fed farming that is prone to poor harvest. He added that extension officers are instrumental in averting food insecurity.
“The government must re-consider adopting irrigation farming to utilize available land and help address the issue of food shortage once and for all. We can’t have a country where the majority of its land is idle and a battle ground for criminals in the name of cattle rustling,” he noted.
Meso attributed the current high cost of unga flour to poor storage facilities at the national silos depot that cannot store grains for a longer period, challenging the government to ensure national cereals stores are modernized.
“Storage of cereal lots on the farm level or on manufacturing silos can be regarded as the most important postharvest phase with respect to mycotoxin production,” added Meso.
He said the main purpose of grain storage is to equilibrate supply and demand, and added that postharvest operation is a key step in the complex logistics of moving grain from producers to processors and grain products from processors to consumers.
Agro-chemical companies are taking advantage of the situation and advertising different pesticides purported to be effective in controlling pests. Yet the prices of all agricultural inputs including pesticides have recently remained a nightmare to most farmers.
Meso urged farmers across the country to diversify their farming as a mitigation measure against food insecurity that comes with post-harvest losses.
The climate change experts in Busia are now urging farmers to resort to growing quick maturing crops such as vegetables when there is prediction of prolonged dry spells or venture in cereals farming which are tolerant to drought.

The relationship between body fat distribution, insulin sensitivity and postprandial lipids in Europeans and South Asians : a cross-sectional study.
Forouhi, Nita Gandhi; (2000) The relationship between body fat distribution, insulin sensitivity and postprandial lipids in Europeans and South Asians : a cross-sectional study. PhD thesis, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. DOI: 10.17037/PUBS.00682302

Metabolic disturbances associated with central obesity and insulin resistance might underlie the higher rates of diabetes and coronary heart disease in South Asians compared with Europeans. A cross sectional study of 135 healthy South Asians and Europeans, aged 40-55 years, was performed to test whether lower insulin sensitivity in South Asians is explained by ethnic differences in body fat pattern and to establish if there are ethnic differences in postprandial triglyceride and intramyocellular lipid (IMCL) content that are associated with insulin sensitivity. Visceral fat area (VFA), measured by CT scan, was higher in South Asians than in Europeans in analyses adjusted for age, sex and body mass index (p=0.001). VFA was strongly associated with insulin sensitivity index (ISI), measured by the short insulin tolerance test, in both groups independently of total % body fat (measured by DEXA scan). In age and sex adjusted analyses ISI was 0.71 % min-1 lower in South Asians (95% CI -1.18 to -0.25, p=0.003). Adjustment for body fat pattern and triglyceride (fasting and 8 hour postprandial) reduced the ethnic difference in ISI to - 0.41 % min-1 (95% Cl -0.86 to 0.03, p=0.066). In both groups 8 hour postprandial triglyceride was highly correlated with ISI and VFA and the relationship of ISI to VFA was eliminated by adjusting for triglyceride. In a sub- study, mean IMCL content (measured by magnetic resonance spectroscopy) was higher in South Asians (p=0.046). In Europeans IMCL was correlated positively with % body fat, waist/hip ratio, VFA and negatively with ISI. In South Asians IMCL was not significantly related to ISI or obesity. We conclude that body fat pattern and IMCL cannot account for ethnic difference in insulin sensitivity. Alterations of lipid metabolism, possibly in the postprandial period, are likely to underlie the association of central obesity with insulin resistance.

From the publisher:
Translated from the Portuguese by Margaret Jull Costa
The Illustrious House of Ramires, presented here in a sparkling new translation by Margaret Jull Costa, is the favorite novel of many Eça de Queirós aficionados. This late masterpiece, wickedly funny and yet tender, centers on Gonçalo Ramires, heir to a family so aristocratic that it predates the kings of Portugal. Ramires—charming but disastrously effete, idealistic but hopelessly weak—muddles through his pampered life, burdened by a grand ambition. In part to further his political aspirations, he is determined to write a great historical novel based on the heroic deeds of his fierce medieval ancestors. But “the record of their valor,” as the London Spectator remarked, “is ironically counterpointed by his own chicanery. A combination of Don Quixote and Walter Mitty, Ramires is continually humiliated but at the same time kindhearted. Ironic comedy is the keynote of the novel. Eça de Queirós has justly been compared with Flaubert and Stendhal.”

What you need to know
- Samsung's memo to employees spoke on the company's ban on the use of generative AI in the workplace.
- The Korean OEM discovered a critical, accidental data leak by an engineer who uploaded data to ChatGPT.
- Employees are banned from using ChatGPT and other AI chatbots on company-owned devices, doing so against the ban will result in being fired.
Employees of the South Korean tech giant Samsung are being banned from using any such generative AI tools.
According to Bloomberg, a memo was reportedly sent out to all Samsung employees signifying the new ban on all the use of generative AI, notably ChatGPT, on company devices. The catalyst for this ban comes from Samsung apparently discovering back in April that its engineers accidentally uploaded internal source code to ChatGPT. While it's unclear what information was leaked, it was enough for Samsung to cut the use of AI tools in the workplace here.
"Interest in generative AI platforms such as ChatGPT has been growing internally and externally," Samsung says in the memo. "While this interest focuses on the usefulness and efficiency of these platforms, there are also growing concerns about security risks presented by generative AI." The Korean OEM conducted a survey in April, questioning the use of AI internally, and found that 65% of those that participated see AI as a security risk.
The company expressed further concerns about its staff utilizing generative AI in the workplace because of uncertainty about where the data is being stored. Samsung is worried that any data placed into Microsoft's Bing AI ChatGPT and even Google's Bard could be stored on external servers, which would make it difficult to delete.
In addition to banning these AI tools on company devices, the company reportedly asked that employees not have company-related information on their personal devices, too. If anyone is caught breaching these new terms, they risk being fired.
AI chatbots are everywhere now, it seems, and Samsung stated it is creating its own AI tools for internal use. It will be used for translating, summarizing documents, and for developing new software. However, it looks like the Korean OEM is looking at implementing a block on sensitive data so it cannot leave the company.
It's an interesting move for Samsung as many companies have started embracing the rise of generative AI over the past several months. Rumors point to Samsung switching to Microsoft's ChatGPT-powered Bing as a default on Galaxy devices instead of Google Search. Microsoft has already begun integrating the new Bing Chat into the SwiftKey keyboard, which is rolling out to Samsung users now.
However, it seems the restrictions are only temporary as Samsung works to implement the appropriate security measures to allow the use of generative AI.

Undefeated Manchester City felt the sharp end of Pep Guardiola's tongue after letting their standards slip against Feyenoord, according to Yaya Toure.
With qualification to the Champions League knockout stages already secure, Guardiola made seven changes to his starting line-up for the visit of the faltering Eredivisie holders and a patchy, listless contest was drifting towards a goalless conclusion before Raheem Sterling expertly dispatched his 11th goal of the season two minutes from time.
That made it five wins out of five in Europe this term, securing top spot in Group F in the process, while City have taken a remarkable 34 points from the 36 on offer in the Premier League.
Speaking after Saturday's considerably more impressive 2-0 win at Leicester, Guardiola said he would "kill" his players if they became complacent and strong words were dished out in the aftermath of Tuesday's match at the Etihad Stadium.
"It's human nature that sometimes you are a little bit lazy, think you're super or arrogance can go in your head - especially when you are young," said veteran midfielder Toure, following only his third start of the campaign.
"You look beautiful and think you're going to be the best. But you have to be careful because a modest team like Feyenoord, you see they came in and maybe could have surprised us.
"At the end the manager was quite angry with the team, of course. We can do better than that.
"We could have scored [more] because we had chances. We played lazily. You have to focus and respect the opponent."
Post-game irritation from Guardiola or Toure's own frank assessment is unlikely to shift the perception that City are better placed to make a far more convincing bid for Champions League glory than at any other time over their previous six seasons in the competitions.
"I have to stay positive. We are in good form," said the 35-year-old, a winner under Guardiola with Barcelona in the 2009 final.
"When you see all the top teams, they all struggle a little bit. When I see Juventus, or Madrid, Barcelona - all these kind of teams - we've got to be a stronger and better team.
"Statistics mean nothing. We have to play against them and see where we are."
Under Manuel Pellegrini, City were knocked out in back-to-back seasons by Barcelona after drawing the Liga giants in the last 16.
It is a fate they will avoid this time around as fellow group winners, although this week's results mean Real Madrid and likely Bayern Munich too will progress as second-place finishers - making them, along with Juventus, potential heavyweight opponents for Guardiola's men in the new year.
Toure is confident his colleagues are a match for all-comers but added with a chuckle: "No, I don't want these teams now. Further, further! If all the top teams finish first then it is good."

“Uber Works will presently be available only in Chicago right now, and aims to diversify the company’s main business in face of stiff competition.”
Uber has launched a new service, Uber Works, in a bid to diversify its revenue streams away from the obvious, core business of renting out short duration cabs across the world. Uber Works, as the name suggests, is focused on employment, and is tapping into the industry in partnership with businesses and middlemen agencies that list shift jobs made available across various sectors, during the peak business season. For instance, businesses such as restaurants might often run out of adequate staff during festive seasons, and it is this void that Uber wants to fill, by offering those looking for part-time employment with an easy portal to explore options on.
The Uber Works initiative is beginning in Chicago, US, and while Uber has not mentioned anything about global expansion for such plans, the company will likely bring the initiative to other choc-a-bloc job markets such as Mumbai, India, if it happens to see a good start. Reuters has quoted an Uber spokesperson with knowledge of the matter, who said, “Uber Works has a business dashboard and we connect directly with businesses, including restaurants and others, to assist them with filling empty shifts.”
After having established the cab aggregator and smart instant commuting industry across the world, Uber today faces myriad challenges such as competition from local providers like Olacabs in India, trickier work conditions, reduced pricing due to competition and consumer demand, increasing prices, legislations against its gig worker model, and so on. In California, Uber faced stiff protest from a wide base of its driver-partners, leading to a law eventually being passed that puts a cap on how many of its drivers can qualify as independent contractors, as well as a minimum number of partners that must qualify as being under Uber’s payrolls.
All factors combined have hammered Uber’s business prospects since its much-hyped IPO (initial public offering). At present, Uber reports quarterly losses of $5.2 billion, with steadily declining revenue growth and concerns among its shareholders and investors regarding the viability of its business in future. It was further rattled by reports of uncouth work culture on the previous chief Travis Kalanick, including complaints across the internet about blatant sexism, brash work culture and so on — all of which have steadily eaten into a company that was once soaring in its growth pace even in face of service saturation.

This may seem obvious to a person who has known their colors since they are able to remember, but you’d to learn it sooner or later and this is a good means for your youngster to understand theirs.

Grisly murders or beautiful tropical island waterfalls. And now that the French game publisher has unveiled even more of the experience through a hands-on demo, the dichotomy is becoming even more interesting. I got another hands-on playthrough of the beginning of the game, and I really didn’t know which path to take.

The Varying Faces of Death
James Joyce's "The Dead" exhibits the capacity of another's death to dishearten one in his future relations and experiences. This short story also gives voice to the emotions of a husband. This husband's wife's romantic tie to a man who died years ago, forces him to realize that there is a chapter of his wife's life in which he plays no part. In the story this man not only comes to grips with such a realization, but also with death, and the vicissitudes of life.
Gabriel Conroy and his wife Gretta, attend the "Misses Morkan's Annual Dance", held by Gabriel's two aunts, Kate and Julian Morkan. At the dance, Gretta is twice reminded of her past love, Michael Furey. First, a friend invites Gabriel and Gretta to a summer getaway in Galway, the place where she had had her relationship with Michael. Secondly, a song that Mr.
D'Arcy sings at the party, "The Lass of Aughrim", reminds her of Michael Furey. This is the song that Michael had sung to her on their long walks through the country. Gabriel, oblivious to how his wife is affected by such moments and anticipating a romantic evening, brings her to a hotel with the understanding that, "they had escaped from their lives and duties", if only briefly. When Gabriel questions Gretta's apathetic mood she tells him the tragic story of Michael Furey's illness and how he had revealed to her he no longer wanted to love after hearing that she must leave town. Gabriel is tormented by the dull, pathetic existence he has to offer his wife when another has devoted such deep felt passion to her, even in death.
Gabriel Conroy's amiable character is exemplified by his capacity for affection and his high education. Though he...

This is actually pretty funny, folks.
For those who keep up with bartending news, the name Adam Seger might ring a bell. Essentially, he is the bartender credited for coming up with the Seelbach cocktail, a famous choice that was longtime believed to be a pre-Prohibition drink that Seger discovered the recipe for after being put in charge of the Seelbach Hotel in 1995.
The New York Times now reports, however, that even though the Seelbach cocktail has been widely viewed for a long time now as a rescued classic, Seger, 47, has finally admitted that in fact, the entire thing is a hoax.
What the what?
Apparently, Seger, who now runs the Tuck Room in downtown Manhattan, spun a story for years about how an old Seelbach bartender accidentally spilled and combined the contents of a manhattan and a Champagne cocktail; he tasted the mistake, and decided he loved it, and so put it on his menu.
None of the story, however, is true.
"I was nobody," Seger told The New York Times of his time as a bartender at the Seelbach Hotel. "I had no previous accolades in the bar world. I knew I could make a great drink. I wanted it to be this promotion for the hotel, and I felt the hotel needed a signature cocktail. How could you have a place that F. Scott Fitzgerald hung out in that doesn’t have a damn cocktail?"
To make a name for himself, Seger started rooting through the hotel's history, searching in vain for a Seelbach cocktail to no avail; even though he came across countless old menus, he came up short.
Therefore, he decided to take matters into his own mixologist hands, and created what is now known as the Seelbach cocktail: a combination of bourbon, triple sec, and Angostura and Peychaud's bitters, topped off with sparkling white wine. Delicious? Yes. A historic classic? Not so much.
Even though the story of the cocktail was picked up and circulated in the media, Seger says nobody ever asked him to produce actual evidence of the old (fabricated) menu.
Now, even though the secret is out, the Seelbach Hotel's director of public relations, Matthew Willinger, told The New York Times that they still plan on keeping the drink on the menu, saying that the cocktail "has certainly been a tradition of the hotel and will remain part of its future."


Koncept’s Malt Disney EP may be Disney-inspired, but it is certainly not Disney approved. Mickey, Donald, heck, even Walt himself are more likely to say “Oh no” upon hearing this standout from the Booth-featured project, as the content is not exactly their G-rated. Those who enjoy upbeat hip-hop with a slightly grungy/off-color vibe, however, will find themselves saying Oh Baby. Backed by a jogging-paced beat from Deejay Element (author of the whole EP) that is laced with a few perfect samples, Kon spits his grimy, yet colorful bars with a very intriguing cadence. A smooth, almost bluesy hook from Akie Bermiss is sandwiched between Koncept’s stellar verses; this serving is the icing on the already scrumptious cake.

Posh People Really Do Think They’re Better Than Everyone Else, Study Finds
People from higher social classes really do think they’re better than others, and it’s helping to perpetuate the advantage of those groups, a study has found.
Psychologists from the University of Virginia and Stanford University wanted to understand how socioeconomic inequalities perpetuate.
“Advantages beget advantages. Those who are born in upper-class echelons are likely to remain in the upper class, and high-earning entrepreneurs disproportionately originate from highly educated, well-to-do families,” Dr Peter Belmi of UV and co-authors wrote in the study published in the Journal of Personality and Psychology.
“Our research suggests that social class shapes the attitudes that people hold about their abilities and that, in turn, has important implications for how class hierarchies perpetuate from one generation to the next.”
To investigate mechanisms of how inequality may be passed on, they performed several experiments.
In the first, they tested the idea that individuals with relatively high social class are more overconfident compared with their lower-class counterparts. They looked at data from 150,000 small business owners in Mexico who were applying for loans between 2015 and 2017. As part of this application process, they were asked to take part in a psychometric assessment, which included a flashcard game.
In the game, the participants were shown a flashcard showing an image. After pressing a button, they were then shown a second flashcard with another image on it. The subjects were then asked to assess whether the two images matched. This was repeated 20 times, and the participants scored based on how many they got correct. They were then asked how well they thought they did compared to other applicants. This was ranked from 0 to 100, with 100 being “better than all the other applicants”.
Using this test, the researchers were able to quantifiably show that “those with more education, income, and a higher subjective sense of standing in society were more likely to think that they did better on the flashcard game, compared with their lower-status counterparts”. This held true when compared with their actual performance on the test.
Next, online participants were given a trivia test and again asked to assess how well they thought they’d done compared to others. The results also showed that participants from a higher social class believed they had outperformed others, to an extent that didn’t match up with their actual performance.
In the final test, 236 undergraduates were asked to answer a trivia quiz and then assess how well they’d performed, to measure overconfidence levels. The students were then given a mock job interview, which was recorded and viewed by 900 judges, who were asked to rate their impression of the students’ competence.
The researchers found again that people from higher social class (this assessment also included the wealth and education of their parents, given that they were students) were overconfident in their abilities. They also found that the judges saw this overconfidence and thought it indicated greater competence from the candidate, which could help to explain why people from higher class backgrounds are often selected over their equally competent peers from working-class backgrounds.
“We found that their overconfidence provided a path to social advantage, at least through an indirect process,” the authors wrote. “Individuals with relatively high social class were more overconfident, which, in turn, was associated with being perceived as more competent, and, ultimately, more hireable in the eyes of independent observers.”
“Even when people may have the best of intentions, they may contribute to the reproduction of inequality, especially in situations when they rely on behavioral proxies for abilities to infer the competence of others.”

These Weekly Menu recipes allow you to get out of that same ol’ recipe rut and try some delicious and easy dishes! This week I highly recommend making the Everything Ham & Cheese Rolls, Crack Chicken Casserole – Tots, Crispy Bacon, Cheese, and BBQ Ranch Sauce, and my Mom’s Classic Pot Roast with Savory Onion Gravy!
Happy Sunday TKW Family! I hope this finds you well, healthy, and safe!
How was your past week? Is it “Fall” weather yet where you are?
It’s still warm and humid here in Pittsburgh but yet the leaves are changing (and some are falling). Soon it’ll be time for us to do the leaves.
That should prove interesting considering I’m still in a cast but hopefully, the doctor removes that when I see him in 2 weeks.
Post-op I’m meh. I’m trying not to get discouraged but the pains I had in the hand prior to surgery are still there just as bad. The surgeon said there were no guarantees his surgery would fix it but he feels confident the one nerve reconstruction will help save the one muscle from atrophy. So needless to say I’m a bit down.
TKW On YouTube
So I took the plunge and finally started adding videos to my YouTube channel. I’d LOVE and appreciate it if you subscribed there. I’m brand spanking new there and with the millions of TKW Family members out there, I really need to build up my subscription base there.
Not only am I creating videos for my newer recipes but I’m also going back and creating them for my most popular recipes.
Since I have 1000+ recipes posted, it’ll take me a little bit to get them all done but I’ll get there.
My goal is to do more longer-type 10-15 minute cooking videos where I talk to you while cooking – think tv-show but candid.
Candid in the sense of – I scrape the whole bowl out (no, we don’t waste stuff in my house), I’ll get batter on my face, flour on my chest and laugh at myself because I dropped/tripped/or just messed up what I was trying to say.
You’ll get me as me – true authentic Lori
Did you make a recipe? Leave a blog comment!
So why do I ask this? Two reasons:
- Honest feedback is appreciated. It helps me learn and grow.
- Most folks read the comments first before they decide on making a recipe or not.
We all visit blogs looking for delicious items and inspiration. What I find (and you should as well) the MOST USEFUL thing is the comments that people leave. Honest feedback, good or bad but respectful please, on a recipe.
You can give suggestions on what you’d tweak or a spin you put on it. Heck or just tell me that you loved it! Like how to make vegan, keto, or not use mushrooms.
This is how I grow and become better on here and it gives you guys real feedback. The absolute most critical thing you can do for me is to leave a comment on the blog recipe post.
When I look at someone else’s recipe I read the comments as to me, that’s honest feedback. So when you make a recipe of mine or plan on making it, leave a comment on the post. I, and everyone else that goes to my site, truly would appreciate it!

What is the strangest thing you’ve found in a patient’s mouth? I think I 'opened a can of worms' when I asked our evaluators this question…pun intended! Read on to find out what ‘weirded out’ our Dental Product Shopper dentists and hygienists.
The strangest thing I saw in a patient's mouth was a dead maggot under the tongue partially embedded and stuck on the floor of the mouth. Needless to say, the patient's hygiene and breath were horrendous; it stunk the office, and likely attracted flies. He complained of an abnormally bad taste in his mouth and I thought, "OMG!" Alfred dela Cruz; San Ramon, CA
I have found a number of strange things in patient’s mouths. One of the worst was a patient from Bulgaria who had not been to the dentist in a very long time and had one of the worst mouths I had ever seen. After cleaning him up, we starting working on some of his large cavities, and when I drilled into the tooth there was a dead worm in it! Leonard Tau, DMD; Philadelphia
I once found a piece of glass approximately 1/4 inch wide and 3/4 inch long. The patient had no idea how it got there and was just aware that something was stuck between her teeth (#29 and #30). No tissue was bleeding. Strangest thing ever! Sandra S. Berger, RDH; Freehold, NJ
When I was in hygiene school, I had a patient who had a large bridge of calculus present over his mandibular teeth - so much that the instructor and I decided to scale prior to taking x-rays. As I was using the ultrasonic, I kept hitting something that didn’t feel like tooth structure. I summoned the instructor for help and she uncovered a partial that was cemented in by calculus! Dawn R. Hines, RDH; Crandon, WI
I have found the obvious things like spinach between the teeth and chicken stuck in deep cavities. But the strangest thing that happened to one of my patients was when her pit bull puppy chewed up her denture. See photo (at right), which shows that the denture is definitely not all in one piece! Mihaela Popa, DMD; Belvidere, IL
We had a patient who had a tattoo on the inside of her lower lip. It was totally bizarre to us because we have never seen anything like it before! Ouch! Jodi Lampert, DDS; Littleton, CO
I had to gently remove a wooden [brand of plaque remover pick] from 8 & 9! I used a topical and felt like I had performed minor surgery! I found a fish bone one time too. Debra A. Cavanaugh, RDH; Willoughby, OH

Letter: N.C. tax changes can have drastic impact
I am not a resident of North Carolina, but my mother (whose income taxes I do) has been a resident for nearly 30 years. Residents of North Carolina should be aware of the drastic impact of recent tax law changes in North Carolina, specifically the elimination of the medical deduction. This has resulted this year in my mother (a widow in her 90s and in a nursing facility) now being saddled with a tax liability that has increased from zero (2013) to nearly $1,500 (2014). Now, in addition to her huge medical bills for nursing care, she has to come up with an additional $125/month out of her pension and Social Security to pay North Carolina income taxes. I find this attempt to broaden the tax base onto the backs of elderly retirees unconscionable. I urge residents of North Carolina to contact their state legislators and governor, because even if this doesn’t affect you now, one day it will. North Carolina may become known as a “great state to visit — but don’t bother retiring here (unless you’re absolutely sure you won’t get sick or need nursing care).” I hope it doesn’t. I like North Carolina.
Harper Brady, Monroeville, PA
