Of Flushing & Brushing

Ever since the hubby watched a segment of flushing the toilet bowl in the television programme Time Warp on Discovery Channel, we made it a point to put the lid of the toilet bowl down before flushing.

Tiny airborne particles travel all around the toilet as a result of flushing the toilet bowl. These unsanitary particles would land everywhere in the bathroom including your toothbrush, the very same object you put into your mouth!

Watch this Time Warp video to see the aerosol effect in action.

Some Nuggets of Information on the Aerosol Effect

The aerosol effect was first brought to light by Charles Gerba, an environmental microbiologist from the University of Arizona. In 1975, he published a scientific article describing the results of his tests on bacterial and viral aerosols due to toilet flushing.

These tests were conducted by placing pieces of gauze in different locations around the bathroom and measuring the bacterial and viral levels on them after a toilet flush. From the experiment, he discovered that bacteria and virus fell on the gauze pads.

He also found out that significant amount of microbes floated around the bathroom for at least two hours after each flush and that the aerosols travelled as far as six to eight feet away from the toilet.

To see this effect in your bathroom, you could pour dye into the toilet bowl, flush it and watch as you shrink back in horror. I wouldn't want to try it in my own toilet though, as I would most certainly shrink back in horror should I find myself not being able to scrub the dye off the walls and ceiling.

I'm not a science whizz but I read and heard that many experts do not consider fecal coliform bacteria (which is present in the aerosol) to be a health risk since they are found naturally in our lower digestive tract. However, that does not mean that it is a good idea to introduce these bacteria into our mouths.

Whenever things can't be seen with the naked eye, I would not really think much about them being there. Alas, sight is such a stimulating sense and I felt grossed out thinking about putting the toothbrush in my mouth after watching this video.

By some good fortune, I managed to get my hands on MyGermFighter Toothbrush Sanitiser.  Utilising UV Clean technology, it is a device that kills up to 99.9% of germs and bacteria like E. Coli, Salmonella and other harmful microbes.

MyGermFighter Toothbrush Sanitizer doubles up as a sanitizer and a holder. It could hold a toothbrush and a travel-size tube of toothpaste. Making use of 2 AA batteries, this device provides innovative and effective sanitising simply by snapping the cover closed. It is so simple to sanitize the toothbrush that even lazy bums like me would not find it a hassle using it.

I've been watching videos on YouTube on the various brands and types of toothbrush sanitizer. Does any one of you know anything about toothbrush sanitizers or are currently using any? Do you have any reviews on them? I would love to hear more from people who have used such devices.

In the meantime, I'm going to sanitize my toothbrush now.

  1. Yep, it's like volcanic ejecta, spewing out over everything.

    Question: When you smell something, are you breathing in molecules of the thing you are smelling? A very gross thought. =)

  2. Haha I saw something similar about this, but it wasn't on the discovery channel. Ever since, I've made my bf keep the lid down when he is flushing and I now leave all our toothbrushes into a different room. I have the Phillips Sonicare brushes, and my model comes with a UV sanitizer on the charger - very handy for at home use :) The one you have is great for travel!

  3. Okay Jo, seriously I went and cleaned my toiler bowl right after I read your post. AS a germaphobic freak, this is so unacceptable - lol.

    Hope you are doing well.

  4. omg'd jo! i didn't know about this. ewwww. hahaha thanks for posting! this has been very helpful.

  5. hi Jo, i've shared an award to you because you deserve it! check it out on my post..=)

  6. Rick,
    You just posed a very profound question! I’m bad at my sciences but I’m already grossed out by it. Trust you to think of that.

    Great to hear from someone using a toothbrush sanitizer! Thank you for sharing. How long have you been using it? Do you find it useful? Like did it help in any health related issue? I tend to get upper respiratory tract infection occasionally and I sometimes attribute it to the toothbrush. Probably I will review it after months of using the sanitizer.

    Lol at your extreme habit of keeping the toothbrushes in another room after watching a similar video back then.

    I totally lol and read your comment out loud to my hubby. I can imagine you washing the toilet coz yes I remember reading once that you are a germophobic!

    Now you know! Have you put your lids down yet? Lol

    Oh! Thank you so much. I’ll go check it out! =)

  7. I really enjoy reading your blog posts!!!! If you have a chance, please visit/follow my fashion blog. It will mean the world to me if you did. Thank you so much in advance!!!

  8. A famour YouTuber whom I follow mentioned this before (her Filipino mother called it the toilet "mist") and she never used to listen to her mother, until she thought about it more and the idea of these tiny particles landing on her toothbrush irked her.

    Luckily, my toothbrush holder is quite far away from my toilet bowl, but reading that it can travel so far is a bit...yucky. Ermmm I think I need to get one of them protectors.

    Caught up on your posts. So much to say that I don't even know what to say. The last 2 months have been a whirlwind and I haven't had the chance to sit down and resume normality. Will continue reading your blog, Jo

  9. Fashionable Memories,
    I'll visit your blog in due time. =)

    The mist thing is really true so the most basic thing that we could do would be to put the lid down and flush and leave it closed till the next person uses.

    Did you like move back to Malaysia for good and hence the whirlwind?

  10. Hi Jo! It's hard to say if there were any health related benefits after I've started using the sanitizer. Aside from the common cold, I normally don't suffer from too many medical problems. It definitely gives me peace of mind at least!

  11. Rinny,
    Thanx for your input. Wow, I envy you for not succumbing to illness so often. So far, the sanitizer seems to be giving me a placebo effect.

I love reading sincere comments and hearing your voice. While blatant self promotion of blogs and follow for follow requests are not advisable, I would love if you leave a mark here with a trackback link so that I could connect with you. I reply to comments here or on your blog so don't forget to check back on replies! =)

My book "MUSIC & MINDSET" updated for 2021!

-Jass Elliot, Entertainment reviewer writes:
"Susan has been in this business since she was a teenager and she really has a handle on how it works. She is passionate about helping others understand the pitfalls in the industry and how to avoid them. On the other hand, she knows the things that will make a band or soloist shine and catch the attention of the right people. It all starts with some skill and the right mindset. If you are an aspiring musician or know one, this is the book to get."

Online Training Studio:
I have been teaching music and one-on-one acting online way before COVID-19. Some of my best clients are people I've only met once or twice in person. A few international students have always been virtual. Although online learning might not be the answer for everything, it is certainly a good way to learn music, learn about music, and learn about the business of music.

More Info

From radio interviews to online magazine write-ups, from social media exposure to in-print magazine articles, I can get it done for you. Also, I understand budget restrictions and have many different options. Why not sign up for a free consultation. You may be surprised just how far a little bit of publicity can go.

More Info

Mindset Coaching:
This may be the most important thing that aspiring, hopeful performers can master. The music industry can be full of rejection and negativity. It can take a relatively happy person and quickly fill them with doubt and insecurity. It doesn't have to be this way and it shouldn't be this way. As a certified personal coach, I help people learn the skills and techniques to turn this around. There are strategies that can actually make this business fun.

Meeting Rooms

At the moment we don’t have a corporate booking solution for meeting rooms. As a result, various solutions have been developed by service areas for both internal and external bookings. These range from paper diaries, Microsoft Outlook, spreadsheets and systems with a booking facility.

However, we are looking at procuring a booking system which could be extended to various internal and external booking processes.

In the meantime, you can find procedures for booking meeting at Beechbrae and the HQ campus. For all other locations, you should contact the section admins.

I, Science

The science magazine of Imperial College

Find out what happened when we spent a day with the orchids 'visiteering' at the Natural History Museum.

Natural History MuseumThe Natural History Museum in London has a rich history of engaging members of the public with volunteer efforts. In autumn 2015, the museum piloted a new volunteer program, Visiteering, which is unique because it lasts only eight hours. This ‘visiting volunteer’ experience is accessible to anyone willing to dedicate a day to learning about curatorial procedures while contributing to a citizen science project, so I was keen to get involved.

Six other participants and myself were greeted at the museum by Ali Thomas, the energetic volunteer projects coordinator. Our base for the day was the Specimen Preservation Area (SPA) within the Darwin Centre, where we met resident biologist and botanist, Kath Castillo, the Orchid Observers project officer, and life sciences volunteer, Kate Coss.

Orchid Observers is a citizen science initiative developed by the Natural History Museum which supports ongoing research concerning the impacts of climate change on plant species in the UK. Orchid phenology is a prime indicator of these trends, evidenced by recent research which has shown that orchids are blooming earlier in the year throughout Great Britain. By collecting data on the timing and location of orchid blossoming, it is possible to assess how these patterns are changing, bettering our understanding of how plants respond to a warming climate.

In addition, historical records can be used to determine where and when orchids bloomed throughout the UK over longer timescales. The Natural History Museum’s herbarium contains 15,000 orchid specimens, collected over almost 300 years. Most of the museum’s specimens include the date and location of collection and, as most were collected near the peak of flowering, these records reveal climatic trends spanning three centuries.

Our mentors guided us through a detailed explanation of the project, emphasizing the relevance of our efforts within the broader scope of climate change research. We viewed engaging visuals: images of citizen researchers hunting for orchids, maps of orchid sightings throughout the UK recorded by lay observers, and photographs of orchid sightings submitted by the public. We were also invited to handle some of the orchid specimens that would usually be stowed away in the museum herbarium.

Orchid Observers is one of many projects within the ‘Zooniverse‘, an online citizen science network. The intrepid among you may elect to search for and photograph orchids in bloom, recording the date and location in the Zooniverse database. If fieldwork isn’t your cup of tea, you can participate online by transcribing or verifying information from digitised versions of the museum’s orchid specimens, which is what we helped out with.orchid flowers

After creating a Zooniverse account online, a brief tutorial pop-up walks you through the transcription process. For each specimen,you must identify the specimen label and identification barcode, record the species, location, and date of collection, and identify the specimen’s flowering stage.

It quickly became apparent to us, however, that this was not mind-numbing data processing.

Identifying and recording the appropriate specimen was easy enough but those enthusiastic botanical hobbyists collecting orchid specimens in the 1800s did not always pause to consider that their specimens may become a key element in a climate change research initiative. Missing information and abbreviated or antiquated place names were common, as were some illegible scrawls, distorted by smudges and general wear. Geographical inconsistencies also cropped up; while some collectors noted location specifics, others were far vaguer in their recording, requiring a lot of map consultation on our part! Plus, official species classifications are frequently altered, so determining the correct modern name for the specimen required the cross-checking of historical and current data.

The museums is home to 620,000 documented botanical specimens, as well as hundreds of thousands of specimens waiting to be added to the official database. We saw a small fraction in the herbarium- an expansive room lined with metal cabinets, each containing folders of painstakingly-prepared specimens. Windows along one side allowed visitors in the adjacent gallery to get a view inside this otherwise hidden space.

Before getting back to work, we visited a separate lab filled with large antique plant presses, pots of glue and assorted plant mouthing tools. Here, an herbarium technician demonstrated to us how to repair damaged specimens.

The Orchid Observers project aims to generate public interest in conservation, whether you’re an amateur photographer recording orchid sightings in your back garden or a climate change scientist engaged in university research. Best of all, it’s not just for the UK- the Zooniverse is a global network of crowdsourced research efforts, so people all over the world can seek out projects and get involved.

What’s not to like? Get googling!

Servings: 4

Vegetable oil, for frying 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup club soda

1 tablespoon sesame or peanut oil 12 medium asparagus stalks, trimmed

12 green beans, trimmed

1/2 cup soy sauce

In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour in enough vegetable oil to fill the pan about 1/3 of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer, inserted in the oil, reaches 375 degrees F. (If you dont have a thermometer a cube of bread will brown in about 2 minutes.)

While the oil is heating, in a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and baking soda. Add the club soda and sesame oil. Stir until just combined and still lumpy.

Dip the vegetables in the batter and fry, 3 or 4 at a time, until the batter is golden and crispy, about 60 to 70 seconds. Drain on paper towels.

Arrange the vegetables on a platter and serve the soy sauce alongside as a dipping sauce.

Keeping track of comments

How do you keep track of comments you’ve posted to other people’s blogs? I’ll comment on something, forget to check back for a couple of days, then find out that there was actually a discussion going on I would have liked to have been a part of if I had known it was happening.

Blog comments are less private than email, but harder to keep track of than newsgroups or other public discussion forums.

  1. shell

    Well, that’s one thing that’s easier with LJ vs. blogs. You get email notification whenever someone comments on a post of yours, and you also get email notification when someone posts a reply to a comment you made. There are some comment programs for blogs that say they do the same thing, but half the time, even if I check the box that says “notify me if someone replies” I don’t get any notification.

    So, you know, my answer is, switch to LJ ;-). No, seriously, I don’t know how else to deal with it–I do lose track of comments I’ve made in blogs.

  2. Fazia Rizvi

    This problem is why I haven’t been too speedy about updating my own blog and adding a comment function. If I do, it’s going to have some very specific options.

    First, it’ll have a “notify” by email option like LJ does. That’s come in handy when someone posts a comment to my LJ blog, but no such function exists for syndicated feeds – so if anyone replies within LJ to the sybdicated feed after it’s cycled out of the top twenty posts in my “friends” list I lose out on the conversation. That’s annoying.

    Second, it’ll have a way for me to reply to the blog comment thread BY EMAIL. I find it bothersome to have to go to a bazillion different blogs and reply if I want to participate in conversations. Even on LJ, if I reply to the notify email, I’m replying by email to that one person who posted and folks seem to like the public thread feel of comment threads on a blog. So, I’ll add a function that lets me reply privately by email or publically to the blogspace by email.

    I’m just an email kinda gal I guess. :-)

6 Steps To Social Media Marketing Success For Your Small Business In Youngstown

With a cost of living 16% lower than the national average, it’s easy to see why locals love Youngstown, Ohio.

But that’s not all. This beautiful town in the Buckeye State boasts of natural wonders, magnificent architectural sites, a healthy entertainment scene, and a rich culture to boot.

In terms of businesses, Youngstown also has a lot going for it. After all, it’s the birthplace of Youngstown Business Incubator, the business that the rest of the world considers the best of its kind!

As someone who also owns a small business in Youngstown, you have the potential of reaching this stature too.

To do that though, you need to let people know of your existence first. And when it comes to spreading brand awareness, only a few are as effective as social media marketing.

To help you succeed with this marketing strategy, here are the six steps you must take.

1. Know Thy Enemy

You’re not the only small business in Youngtown. More importantly, you’re not the only small business of its kind in town.

Thus, researching the competition is the first thing you need to do to make your social media marketing campaign work. Do this, and you’ll know what makes your competitors tick. What they’re doing that’s making their doors swing with new and repeat customers alike.

When you know what works for them, you have valuable information to tap into. You can then use these insights to strengthen your own campaigns.

Here are a few examples:

  • What exactly do they share on social media?
  • Which of their posts get the most attention and consumer participation?
  • What time of the day to they update their social media platforms?
  • How many times in a day and in a week do they upload content?

Unearthing the strategies your competitors use gives you the chance to improve upon your own brand’s campaign. These improvements can then push you to the front of the line.

And who’s the first one people notice? The ones in front, of course.

2. Set Your Goals

All successful social media marketing campaigns have reached success because they’re goal-driven. It’s much like how your small business in Youngstown has its goals of generating profits. And then maybe expanding in the future.

This said, take the time to establish what exactly you want to focus on for your social media marketing campaign.

For instance, think about how building an online community for your market to participate in can drive brand recall. Or how this can increase leads to your site. Perhaps even make your market talk about your brand in their own social media accounts!

From here, you can proceed to setting specific metrics you should monitor. If you’ll push through with the online community, then you might want to track its members, specifically the number of new ones. How’d they find out about you and what made them interested are just some key metrics to consider.

These factors are vital because they give you valuable insight on crafting your content and messages. Knowing what makes your audience tick is key to keeping them tick in both the short and long run.

And the more they find your content appealing, the more chances you have of keeping them interested and part of your brand’s community.

3. Variety is Key to Successful Social Media Content Promotion

For the offline and online marketing campaigns of your small business in Youngstown to succeed, you need to accept the fact that content is king. And that it will always be.

But it’s not just about crafting content that talks about your brand, its products, or its specializations.

It’s also about the manner of delivery.

Did you know that aside from coupons and promotions, consumers also love to know more about product updates? That they value suggestions or how-tos? They also place importance on expert opinions about topics relevant to them.

These are just some of the most preferred types of content consumers wish brands would feed them.

This makes variety in how you create and layout your content integral to your social media marketing campaign. For instance, instead of just updating your Facebook with blog posts, why not upload a high-resolution video showcasing how to use your products?

Infographics are awesome too, since it makes information easier to digest.

4. Avoid Overselling

Yes, your social media marketing campaign’s goal is to promote your small business in Youngstown. Keep in mind though, that no one likes dealing with too-enthusiastic salespeople.

In other words, avoid uploading too much content that oversells or overpromotes your brand. At the same time, you don’t want to only share non-promotional content, as people may forget you’re actually a brand.

The key is to balance your own curated content with external sources. For instance, share content from credible sources talking about a topic relevant to your own industry.

This not only gives your followers a chance to expand their knowledge. It also works on your behalf, since you can build relationships with experts from your particular niche, too.

5. A Big No-No: Cookie Cutter Content

Just like how your small business in Youngstown offers unique products/services, your social media assets should also deliver unique content.

But with so many topics already written about, how do you come up with something different?

Give your own spin to them. For instance, look for trending topics and talk about your experience with them. Like how the Keto diet may be working for you, complete with your own tips and suggestions.

6. Create a Schedule and Automate It

Streamline your marketing campaign updates by creating a schedule and sticking to it. Sounds easier said than done though, right?

But we live in a world where automation has become a necessity. And it’s thanks to automation tools that make the lives of marketers and advertisers easy.

Programs like Buffer, for example, allow you to schedule when exactly you want your content published. More than that, it allows you to set which social media platforms you want them published in. They can also analyze and track results.

With these automating programs, you don’t have to worry about missing your schedules anymore.

PU.1 suppresses Th2 cytokine expression via silencing of GATA3 transcription in dendritic cells. and costimulatory substances corresponded with a reduced capacity for trophic form-loaded dendritic cells to stimulate CD4+ T cell proliferation and polarization. These data are consistent with the delayed innate and adaptive responses previously observed in immunocompetent mice inoculated with trophic forms compared to responses in mice inoculated with a mixture of trophic forms and cysts. We propose that trophic forms broadly inhibit the ability of dendritic cells to fulfill their role as antigen-presenting cells. species are opportunistic fungal pathogens that cause severe pneumonia in immunocompromised hosts, including AIDS patients and patients undergoing immunosuppressive therapies. Clearance of organisms is dependent around the generation of effective CD4+ T cell responses (1,C3). Failure to clear organisms leads to severe immune-mediated alveolar damage (4). While improvements in antiviral therapies have reduced the incidence of pneumonia (PcP) in HIV-infected individuals and other at-risk populations, the mortality rate for patients with Dovitinib (TKI-258) PcP has not improved (5). Additional studies are required to inform novel approaches to reduce morbidity and mortality due to pneumonia. species have a biphasic life cycle consisting of trophic forms and cysts. Trophic forms are single-nucleated organisms typically found in clusters surrounded by a biofilm-like material consisting of a conglomeration of DNA, -glucan, and other sugars (6). Cysts are ascus-like structures that consist of multiple nuclei surrounded by a fungal cell wall consisting of -1,3-glucan and -1,6-glucan (7,C9). Trophic forms do not express -glucan and do not form a cell wall (8). Dendritic cells are the principal antigen-presenting cells in the lung. However, their role in initiating the adaptive response to has been understudied. Previous work has exhibited that dendritic cells activated by cell wall-derived -glucan increase the expression of costimulatory molecules and drive Th1 polarization (10). The mechanism for dendritic cell recognition of trophic forms, which do not express -glucan, is unknown. Both stages express surface glycoproteins and mannoproteins that may serve as pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) that could be recognized by receptors on host cells (7,C9). Intriguingly, neither life form expresses the classical fungal components ergosterol, chitin, or -glucan (10, 11). We have previously reported that the life cycle stages of have opposing effects around the immune response (11). The immune response to contamination with trophic forms alone was less robust than the response to contamination with a physiologically normal mixture of Dovitinib (TKI-258) cysts and trophic forms. Contamination with trophic forms alone resulted in reduced numbers of CD11c+ innate immune cells in the lungs, as well as reduced recruitment of activated CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, compared to contamination with a normal mixture of trophic forms and cysts. trophic forms hinder the ability of dendritic cells to serve in their essential role as stimulators of CD4+ T cell responses by reducing the capacity of dendritic cells to produce proinflammatory cytokines, present antigen, and express costimulatory molecules. Treatment of dendritic cells with trophic forms induced a less robust pattern of expression of immunity-related Dovitinib (TKI-258) genes than treatment with a mixture of trophic forms and cysts. In addition, treatment with trophic forms Rabbit Polyclonal to MAN1B1 reduced the ability of dendritic cells to increase surface expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) Dovitinib (TKI-258) class II and CD40 in response to stimulation with mixed organisms or zymosan. These defects in the expression of MHC class II and costimulatory molecules corresponded with a reduced capacity for trophic form-loaded dendritic cells to stimulate CD4+ T cell proliferation and polarization. RESULTS trophic forms induce a suppressive pattern of gene expression in dendritic cells. trophic forms suppress the production of proinflammatory cytokines by dendritic cells stimulated with multiple PAMPs (11). These PAMPs are recognized by a range of pattern recognition receptors that mediate diverse signaling pathways within the cell, including, in the case of IL-1, inflammasome activation. These data suggest that trophic forms have a broadly suppressive effect on dendritic.

Pex Can Defy High Temperatures Up To 200° Fahrenheit And Chemical Corrosion; It Shows Durability And Strength.

Advantages Over Copper Tubing Before we talk about problems with PEX pipe, let us look which allows for direct pipe routing from source to destination, and easy installation. The law also states that tenants cannot stop the landlord from entering the property when means there is some blockage in the trap or in the pipe from the toilet to the soil stack.

Working of a Plumbing System It is the system that brings might be needed of the property you have rented out. However, this is a rare occurrence and only piping in certain areas advertised, there are certain inherent problems, that need to be looked into. How to Fix a Running Toilet A running toilet can be most of the blockages, a bit of knowledge is needed for some advanced ones. The salts in hard water accumulate and form a layer on out of the part, depending upon the type of faucet.

An Old Statement on Politics That is Still Valid

Watching Brewsters Millions for the first time in years, a line in it exemplified perfectly what is wrong with “democracy” in the US, or rather why elected officials ignore common sense and the good of the people.

Heller and Salvino are both just a couple of overgrown Wharf Rats. Why else would anybody spend $10Million to get a $60,000/year job, unless he planned to steal it back with interest.

The ‘job’ (for those that haven’t seen the film recently) is Mayor of New York City. Heller and Salvino are the two candidates running for it seriously, before Brewster starts a campaign of “vote None of the Above”.

Money is a serious problem in US politics. If you don’t have any, you won’t get elected. If you’re the incumbent, it’s much easier to get money, to get you re-elected. Many people just don’t realise how much getting elected costs either. In the 2008 Senate race here in Georgia (which went to a December runoff):

Saxby Chambliss (R)          $15,692,294       (FEC data)
Jim Martin (D)                       $7,508,505       (FEC data)
Allen Buckley (L)                          $28,666       (FEC data)

No surprises who won. Even less surprisingly, is that the salary is significantly less than this, $174,000 per annum. (as a side note, when the flm Brewsers Millions was made, in 1985, the Senate salary was $75,100). That’s for a 6 year seat, but what about the House, where it’s a 2 year seat? Again, my local race, for Georgia’s 8th district,

Jim Marshal (D)     $1,736,540      (FEC data)
Rick Goddard (R)    $1,192,303      (FEC data)

No surprises, but Jim won. the Salary is $174,000/year.

Many people weren’t aware of this HUGE money requirement in US politics. When this was pointed out on the Pirate Party International list, one Finn replied “My jaw just hit the floor and did not stop falling until it hit the basement.” It’s pretty damned crazy.

Also, at the same time you’re raising funds, you’re being paid for your job. Only in politics, are you paid by your job, while actively seeking another. Last year, both Obama and McCain deprived their states of half their senatorial representation, because they were busy campaigning for president, and not doing their job. That’s $87,000 in taxpayers money paid to them to do a job they’re not doing (assuming they spent half their time campaigning).  both were elected in the November 04 elections, for a seat that expires in January 2011 (the 2010 elections)

Personally, I’d love to be busy applying for a job,  for a year, ignoring any job I may have right now, and still be paid for it. For a public servant though, it’s just wrong. If you’re an elected representative, and you seek a different office, you should resign from your current one. Doesn’t matter if you’re Mayor and want to run for Governor, a governor and want to run for President, or a member of the House or Senate (state or Federal) If your current job isn’t what you want, let someone else have it, and actually do the job. It also means you’re not breaking your oath of office

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.

Running for another position, when you’re supposed to be doing your job doesn’t seem like following your oath to me.

Malaysian Food Blog, Travel, Diving & More

Earlier this month I got a call from Sashi of BMW asking if I was free the next Tuesday. I knew immediately that it was going to be something special, I agreed without thinking twice. As it turned out, together with Gareth, Kim, and a bunch of other more serious media representatives, Haze and I were invited to the first ever MINI Driver Training at Sepang International Circuit.

The reason it took me a while to blog this entry was that Haze went absolutely perfectionist and took quite a bit of time to edit the 4-minute video above. Please view the clip in its entirety, I guarantee that it is almost as awesome as the trailer of Inception.

The videos were mainly shot with 2 GoPro cameras mounted on various spots both in and outside the MINI we drove. Haze bought the cameras as a gift to us not long ago, and it couldn’t have been better timed. The (very few) lower quality segments were shot with the Canon S90.

Mini Driver Training
classroom training, and check out the row of MINI Cooper S

The day started super early, earlier than my usual work day. BMW had it all over planned yet again (just like my BMW Drive experience), as we were getting close to Sepang International Circuit, there were already signs ala Malay wedding style guiding us to the paddock area of the track.

We were then given our individual name tags, breakfast, and then followed by a brief but very informative session of theory in the classroom. We learnt about how to seat adjustments, proper way of using the steering wheels, reaction time, braking distance, and other things that we often thought we know but actually we might have been doing it in the wrong way all these while.

Mini Cooper S - oversteering training
Mini Cooper S – oversteering lesson

After a little refreshment (catered by Shangri-la no less), it was time for hands on lesson. We first started with the slalom course to get familiarized  with the car and the proper way of handling the steering wheel. Every car were equipped with a walkie talkie with the instructors constantly giving us feedbacks and words of encouragements (as well as warnings, of course.)

Mini Cooper S - driver training at Sepang

We then split into two groups of 6 cars and headed to different lessons.

Our first was emergency lane change. It is a technique of switching lane in a very fast manner by turning the wheel 180 degree to each side in one very rapid maneuver. We did it progressively faster and had to avoid killing Luigi and Mario (the cones).

Then it was straight line braking. Slamming the brake hard as we could and getting to know how that feel and how much distance the car would travel before it stops. For example, from 30 km/h it takes only 3 meter, but at 60 km/h it’s a whopping 12 meter. Doubling the speed takes 4 times as far to stop the car!

Next was understeering and how to counter it. This was done by spraying some water on the road to reduce traction.

After that we combined the earlier two techniques and did the brake and swerve maneuver. A technique that could very well save our lives in emergency situations. Knowing what to do during emergency is one thing, but without practiced it is that much harder to execute in real life situations.

The most fun lesson (and probably the most useless) was the Agent Turn. We were taught how to start the car in reverse and flip it around to continue in straight line in one super cool and stomach churning move. It was awesome, I seriously want to try it with my car one of these days.

Mini Cooper S at Sepang International Circuit
MINI at Sepang Track

After a whole day’s lesson, it was time to put everything to test. This came in the form of the MINI Challenge contest. We were given two practice and two timed run on the slalom course. I came up on top with the time of 20.38 (as recorded by the trainers) in our group. Gareth and Haze finished 2nd and 3rd in our group too.

We did pretty well, though the other group consists of mostly motoring journalists had better time, oh well…

KY and Haze winning Mini Challenge
Haze, Gareth, and I finished top 3 in our group!

After the certificate and prize giving ceremony, we were treated with a few rounds of driving on the Sepang International Circuit – the full track! This was the second time I had the chance to drive on the track, but the first time was only half the track and at night.

It was sheer joy driving the MINI on the track that’s as smooth as baby’s ass. I only wish we could have gone faster and push the car a little harder (but safety first I guess), it was awesome nonetheless.

GoPro wide shot
we were obviously happy max, thanks Sashi!

After the track, it was already time to go. I touched the MINI one last time before reluctantly got into my car and head back. The training costs something like RM 1.7k but I seriously think it was value for money.

The trainers are highly qualified and respected professionals like Ivan Khong (my fav sifu), Hammond Lai, Irwan, and Wong Kah Keen who weren’t only very good but injected joy and humor despite having to work under the hot sun while we hid in the comfort of air conditioned cars. The food was great, and you actually get to go all out in brand new MINIs too.

I highly recommend anyone who owns a MINI or who are going to have one to attend this course to know your car better. Others without a MINI could of course still benefit tremendously with this course.

When do we do this again, Sashi? 😀

Discuss : Mini Driver Training – this is how you do an Agent Turn!

  1. Tan Yee Hou

    Dammit recommend a guy who flipped his car next time!

    • terence flipped his car, but upside down lah. haha

      eh we gotta go go-kart ok!

      • Tan Yee Hou

        Ok stim! I signed up for Honda btw hehe.

        Hey you need to build a Steadycam for those handheld shots. Plenty of good designs floating aroudn the web. Just Google and see!

  2. Nice video. Are these manual or auto Minis?

  3. Drove my sis’s Mini.. fun to drive but the torque is too high IMHO. Cruising leisurely at low speed is virtually impossible!
    So did you learn the necessary skills in case someone ‘tiong-ed’ your car next time on the road???

    • hahah there’s no such thing as too much torque. 😛

      now I know how to drive……. safely 😀

  4. Teh Tarik Drinker

    i suddenly feel a sudden urge to do this… they use to have it in the shah alam racing circuit before they tore down the place…

  5. Awesomesauce +100

  6. wooooo…love the video by haze…wahsei…really good lah.
    wat a wonderful mini driving experience…wish i can trash the car like dat.

  7. fUYO. Cool!
    So if I see a car racing down the highway like in the movies then maybe it’s you, Haze, Gareth or Kim?

  8. Jesus Christ it takes 24 meters for a car to stop at 120 km/h?

    I shall repent my tailgating on highways while long distance. :S

    • I think it’s 48 meters instead

      • Tan Yee Hou

        You got to factor in reaction time too HB. Tailgating won’t get you there faster.

        On the other hand, you shall only tailgate if your car can keep up with the one in front hehhe

  9. a car that i can never afford T_T

  10. I think the car is best drive at highway, normal roads around the city, the steering feels heavy sometimes, and can’t use the shift-tronic.

    • you can in fact use shift-tronic anytime, and the steering felt ok to me, perhaps tire pressure too low?

  11. the video was awesome! good job!

  12. Ohhh I just went for it last Wednesday.. Awesome!

Community Kaizen #3 – KPPS Student STEM Engagement

Our 3rd LEAN dot Group Community Kaizen was boldly aimed at tackling a large problem facing Australian Industry, its Educators but most importantly our future workforce - our Children.

Leading up to CK#3, a significant piece of research was undertaken to ask why a widening gap is forming between the Industry need for candidates with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and candidates with relevant STEM qualifications and experience.

Of course, any opportunity of this size would have a significant number of potential causal areas that would have to be investigated.

To gather a first-hand understanding of the work being done and the challenges facing all process owners, a Go-Look-See, Ask-Why, Show-Respect approach was taken to go to the source starting with a local Victorian Primary School, Knox Park.

So we laced up our boots and hit the road...

  • Knox Park Primary School, Knoxfield, Victoria, Australia
  • The school is situated in the attractive, natural bushland setting adjacent to Lakewood Reserve, Knoxfield.
  • Enrolment is currently 302 students, with 35 staff.

  • "...strive to provide educational excellence through quality teaching and learning that stimulates curiosity and promotes further investigation."

  • "We provide a comprehensive and sequential curriculum with an Inquiry focus. Our high quality staff provide a caring and stimulating learning environment for all. We pride ourselves on the continued academic success of our children as we prepare them to be 21st Century learners and citizens."

  • Children / Students
  • Families

We would like to give our sincere thanks to our Community Kaizen Participants who dedicated theirs and their organisations' time to join us in assisting the team in preparation for this event either through research or participation:

  • Jill Barnett
  • Clim Pacheco
  • Tim Odokeychuk

Following a significant amount of research into the current state of the effectiveness of our Australian Education system, measurable gaps were identified between STEM qualified graduates and the those available to fill the growing demand for these skills across our industry.

Australian Ministers for Education had recently formed a National STEM School Education Strategy to achieve two goals critical in closing these gaps - namely that:

  1. All students leave school with foundational knowledge in STEM disciplines along with associated skills
  2. Students are inspired to pursue increasingly challenging STEM subjects through their learning lives.

To validate the numerous white paper and research findings calling for improvement, our journey had to begin with a visit to where the work was taking place.

We chose Knox Park Primary School (KPPS), not only due to existing relationships, but also that it represented the 'mean' of most of Australian Primary schools: it's a public school, within a middle-class socio-economic region with high ethnic and student gender diversity.

Approval to undertake interviews with both the Principal and Vice-Principal along with an observation session with the STEM Planning Committee was quick to come given our volunteer-based approach.

The perspectives provided by those involved across the process of design, planning, delivery and administration of the STEM curriculum activities offered an incredible amount of insight into the challenges that exist to engage today's students in a program that is both rewarding and fun.

All is certainly not straight-forward - budgets are limited, allocated planning time and actual STEM activity materials are in short supply making session plans very 'creative' (ranging from paper folding exercises, to Die Hard  3-like Water Jug Maths Problems - see

Although current technologies are found in almost every classroom, building skills needed for the future seemed to be difficult given the access to those resources is limited due to a regional sharing model across several schools in the area. Expensive subscription-based digital STEM activities are also somewhat prohibitive.

What we summarized from our observation were the net pain points felt by stakeholders in their efforts to effectively deliver the STEM curriculum:

With all problems and initial understanding of their causes, a question that Lean Practitioners need to always ask themselves is - "What can we do NOW to remove waste and return to meaningful work for the Customer's benefit?"

After a short reflection period, I thought - "Why don't we engage the students in using a new technology to learn about a historical event?"

A proposal was put forward to the team at KPPS to use the recently launched Windows Mixed Reality platform to take students on a journey to the moon using ImmersiveVR's re-creation of the 1969 Apollo 11 mission.

It took approximately 3 seconds for their agreement to come back and off we went to plan how to make it happen. Well, I could be exaggerating - it might have only been 2 seconds...!

There were some criteria that needed to be met make this activity happen:

  • alignment to the curriculum for a primary school grade level that is currently relevant;
  • measurement of outcome (what specific gap are we intending to close?);
  • how best to fill the students with confidence to try something new to learn.

It wasn't before long that we found the answer to these questions and focused energies on this year's most recent term in May to take all of the Grade 3 Students on a round trip over 1.5 million kilometres over 6 x 1 1/2 hour sessions!

Across 2 consecutive Fridays (May 5th and 12th, 2018), we held our STEM Engagement Community Kaizen delivering 6 sessions to 43 Grade 3 Students.

The Grade 3 curriculum included the concept of Day and Night as well as Earth's position and relationship to other celestial objects aligning this activity perfectly with the start of Term 2.

Our delivery process started with an introduction for the students to the Apollo 11 Mission using poster work and an interactive discussion on why they think the United States thought it was important to go to the moon, what they think the Astronauts saw when they were in space and what countries collaborated to help make the mission a success.

We then discussed Australia's role through the Peakes Observatory (New South Wales) to help broadcast the video and audio signals received from the moon's Tranquillity Base around the world so that millions of people to see what Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were doing on their extended moon walks.

We also explained the technology of Virtual Reality as well as its history as a concept and device history. Our inquiries found that 11 of the 43 Students had experienced VR in one form or another during their 8-9 years of age.

As you can see from our photos, we encouraged the supervising Teachers to be first to try the experience to show that there was nothing to fear and to encourage the children to "have a go". It's safe to say that many of them enjoyed it as much, if not more than some of the children.

Every brave Class-tronaut received an Apollo 11 Mission badge sticker to show off around the school and at home. Only 1 Student out of the 43 opted to sit back and watch which was accepted without question from their classmates. That Student was also awarded a mission badge having been in charge of Houston "ground control".

It sincerely feels incredible to have been able to have a direct impact on the learning journeys of tomorrow's Leaders.

Although we have been undertaking Community Kaizen activities since late 2016, this was that just bit more special and plan to undertake further STEM related activities to continue to close the gap of engagement to hopefully inspire our youth to pursue more challenging roles into their working lives.

Along with the LEAN dot Group Membership, I would personally like to thank Michael Puddy, Shannon Flynn and Michael Doukakis for allowing us the insights needed to learn more about the challenges you face to look after our children's' educational future and to accept our STEM engagement solution so readily.

If you would like to find out more about the Knox Park Primary School, visit their website (

To our Community Kaizen Team Members, thank you very much for investing your time in preparation for many similar Community Kaizen activities to come.

The volunteer resources invested into Community Kaizen #3 were approximately $7,500 AUD not including capital investment.

Since February 2017, we have been seeking funding and collaboration support to solve this wider problem leveraging our nearly 100 registered LEAN dot Group participants.

It's been extremely challenging to arrive at a point where this can be achieved however we're determined to work with those who share our goals of using proven improvement methodologies to create outcomes that will benefit us all - either as givers or receivers.

For this situation in particular, it's clearly not a solution to increase funding of a system that needs urgent rework. Australia has fallen further behind amongst our OECD peers several months if not years in basic Literacy and Numeracy. We believe that we can have direct impact towards positive classroom engagement using similar approaches used in this Community Kaizen.

If your organisation wishes to make a difference with us, please contact me directly to discuss how we can work together at

Lisburn, Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland

Flower festival marks 300 years of praise and worship
at Lisburn Cathedral

'Out of the Fire'

Lisburn Cathedral Rev William McMillan

Lisburn Cathedral

Rev William McMillan

Lisburn Cathedral is to host a flower festival marking 300 years since the town and cathedral were destroyed by fire. April 20, 1707, was a quiet Sunday morning in Lisnagarvey. Some turf ashes silently drifted onto the wooden roof of a house, and the blaze quickly took hold. Within hours, the town was in blackened ruins, along with its church. Families were left homeless and destitute. Lisburn was reborn after the tragedy of 300 years ago, and is today a city. The mark of the fire remains - Lisburn's symbol includes a phoenix.

Lisburn Cathedral is marking the events of three centuries ago with 'Out of the Fire', a flower festival celebrating 300 years of worship since the cathedral's reconstruction. This dazzling flower festival is masterminded by the world-renowned floral designer Rev William McMillan, with the help of Ballymacash Flower Club.

The festival runs from Thursday 25th to Sunday 28th October 28, and includes a series of church services. Entry is free but donations are welcomed, with funds raised going to 'Lisburn Cathedral Renovation Fund' and to assist the building of Mongo Primary School in Sudan.

A flower arranging demonstration by Rev Mac on the Saturday afternoon will be by ticket only.

For more details, contact Lisburn Cathedral church office, Castle Street, Lisburn, on (028) 9260 2400, or email or contact the website,

[wp-hackers] Disabling the core update system

Yeah that would be another option. For some sites I manage though,
users log in with administrator privileges so they have complete
control over their blog, but they just don't have FTP access to the
server. Maybe that scenario is quite specific to me :D

That's why I'm referring to plugins. Opposed to Wordpress plugins have
fewer installations and often maintained by a single person. Fewer
installations makes them less interesting for attacks, because it is not
always easy to find them. But if you have a nice list, including the
version in use.... The problem with the single person is, that this
person is maintaining the plugin in his spare time. Opposed to Wordpress
it self where a lot of people, making money, are interested in Wordpress
being safe.

> And by checking for an update, your server's IP address is sent

First of all you don't need a reverse lookup as you can just enter the
IP. Second if you do a reverse lookup you often only get something linke
serverxy.hoster.tld, because most people don't want to spend so much
money for a v-server or even a real server. Therefore the IP doesn't
help you that much. Of couse you can check all the Domains on that Host,
but you would also have to check for subdomains and or subdirectories.
Of course there are people where you can start an attack using the IP or
with the domain you get with a reverse lookup, but those are not the
installations I'm worried about. BTW: Being able to access a server by
IP number or the reverse DNS-entry is a security flaw in my eyes, but
that is another matter.
Or in short: The IP helps you, but not much.

I do not want to do that! And I never suggested that! (I hope you know

But still that is no reason to tell everybody which version I'm running.
And sorry I'm not able to update my Software 24/7. This is no f*ck'n
pro/contra update checking discussion. It is a: Do you really need to
collect all this information? And do you know that collecting it is a
reasonable threat? Because if there is a security update and someone
does get that list he can run an attack on those hosts who haven't
updated yet.

[wp-hackers] Security: username as class in commenst

g30rg3_x g30rg3x at gmail.com
Wed Mar 11 14:54:20 GMT 2009

Hi Frank,

It actually does not show the login-name/user_login it uses the
user_nicename for populating the class.. this value is just a filtered
version of the login-name/user_login.

This value can separately be changed (directly from DB or well you can
code yourself a plugin for diy) so you can still hide that information
from the public and of course you will solve the /author/<login>
disclosure permalink structure which scribu says.

There are some more trick to avoid disclosing the user_login but as
other people say security through obscurity it's not security but at
least it will delay those moth********... oohh well you get my point

Giants of Empathy
On April 21, 2015 | 0 Comments | Uncategorized |

To me, one of the most challenging and fascinating process of writing my book is to give distinct voices to characters that are so different than myself, and to create a setting that I have never stepped foot in. How can I make Luke a more sympathetic character? Or, how can I put Catherine’s lack of courage into words and action? How can I describe life in post-war France in the 1950’s?

I think one of the best gifts of writing comes from the ability to breathe life into your character, and to live as they lived. And as a reader, I think one of the most rewarding experience is to be fully immersed in the life of a particular character in a book – and isn’t this the entrancing experience that writers everyday strive to create?

Arguably, it takes a wealth of imagination and creativity to weave together a fictional character and/or a fictional setting, but I also think that our ability to empathize, to relate to one another –  to, put simply, “put ourselves in his or her shoes” – really comes into play when one is writing. And what a good trait it is to strive after – to have more empathy.

So there you have it. Writers should be Giants of Empathy. Is that overly ambitious?

STAMPtember® Graphic Christmas

I am getting this in by the skin of my teeth :-) I have been wanting to join in with the Less Is More 'Gold and Green' Challenge all week and it closes in a couple of hours, there's nothing like a deadline to make you get a wiggle on ;-)

As soon as I saw the challenge I knew what I wanted to make, and here it is!

I used a gorgeous new Christmas Graphic Clear Stamp Set, which is part of the STAMPtember Products Release.

I used a pigment ink pad and gold embossing powder for the background and some gorgeous verdigris embossing powder for the tree, it has touches of gold in it, it's really lovely IRL :-)
 I found my 'Sending' die at long last! I could have sworn I had bought one, but couldn't find it anywhere, so I thought I must have imagined it. Then I found a die cut one that I hadn't used, so then the search was back on! I found it in the wrong box. I need to be more careful where I put things, it's been 'missing' for weeks along with the 'Wishing'!

Anyhoos I had better get this uploaded and linked before the closing time is called ;-)
