Kristin Bus Routes 2018 >>

With approximately 930 students using our buses each day this is the preferred form of transport to and from Kristin. The 20 routes are broken down into stages and passes can be purchased as two-way (most economical option), morning, afternoon or concession cards. Concession cards (10 rides) are purchased from the Retail Shop and can be charged to the school account.

With the large volume of traffic in the Albany Basin area, and particularly around Kristin, the safest (and no-hassle) way to get here is by taking advantage of the bus service. Our intention is to have more children travel by bus to relieve traffic congestion around the school.

Kristin is committed to ensuring the comfort and safety of those travelling to and from school by bus.

Bus Passes 2018

Please note that passes will be handed to all students by the bus drivers by the end of Week 2.

The pass is for the whole year and parents will be charged on a per term basis. If you wish to make a change or no longer require a bus pass it must be returned in order to receive a credit.

Please advise the Operations Manager if a pass is lost and a replacement will be ordered. The cost of a replacement is $15 and will be charged to the school account.

It's your adventure. Stay Focused

Hyperopia (Long-sightedness)

View Video

What is Hyperopia?

Hyperopia, more commonly referred to as long-sightedness, is a refractive error where distant objects are seen clearly while close up objects appear blurry.

What Causes Hyperopia?

Hyperopia occurs when the eye is too short and/or the cornea is too flat. Therefore, the distance between the cornea and the retina is not long enough, resulting in images from the light rays forming behind the retina, instead of forming on the retina. This causes blurred vision at close ranges.

What are the Symptoms of Hyperopia?

While the symptoms of hyperopia vary from case to case, there are common indicators to look out for:

  • Blurry vision and difficulty focusing on close up objects, such as reading or writing
  • Eyestrain or tired eyes that produce a burning feeling
  • Ongoing squinting or blinking to see clearly
  • Headaches while reading or following close up activities

If these symptoms begin to interfere with your daily routine or are present to the point of causing pain, we recommend you to book an appointment with a LASERSIGHT Consultant Optometrist.

How will a LASERSIGHT Doctor Diagnose Hyperopia?

Your LASERSIGHT doctor will be able to diagnose hyperopia by conducting a comprehensive eye examination. This would likely begin with a standard vision test, commonly carried out with a letter chart presented for the patient to read close up as well as far away. If this test displays long-sightedness there are further tests which can determine the cause of hyperopia and the best way to treat it.

Quick Tip: A general eye check-up is recommended once every two years for people over 45 years of age.

What are the Risk Factors of Hyperopia?

The two main risk factors of hyperopia include age and genetics.

Those with a family history of hyperopia are more likely to inherit the condition. However, many children eventually grow out of the condition as the eye lengthens with normal growth. Older people with hyperopia are more likely to experience blurred vision for all manner of close vision tasks and eventually distance tasks as well.

How do I Prevent the Onset of Hyperopia?

While there is no proven prevention to hold off the onset of hyperopia, you should organise regular consultations with an optometrist to ensure that hyperopia is diagnosed early and treated accordingly.

What are the Long Term Implications of Hyperopia?

Hyperopia can be associated with several problems, such as:

  • Learning difficulties: If untreated some children may find it difficult to read or write and to maintain focus as a result of eyestrain and headaches.
  • Reduced quality of life: Uncorrected hyperopia can affect your ability to perform tasks as well as you wish.
  • Eyestrain: Uncorrected hyperopia may cause you to squint or strain your eyes to maintain focus. This can lead to headaches.
  • Crossed eyes: Some children with hyperopia may develop crossed eyes.

What are the Treatment Options for Hyperopia?

Depending on your age and severity of hyperopia you may be suitable for LASIK surgery, lens replacement, (ICL) or cataract surgery. Your LASERSIGHT Specialist will recommend the right treatment for your condition.

    LASIK uses a laser to re-shape the underlying cornea in order to correct the refractive error.
  • Cataract Surgery
    Cataract Surgery involves removing clouded lens from the eye and replacing it with a clear, acrylic intraocular lens.
  • Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL)
    ICL is a procedure where the lens of your eye is removed and replaced with an artificial lens.

Frequently Asked Questions

If hyperopia is so common, when should I see my doctor?

If your particular degree of hyperopia is significant enough to stop you performing a task as you would normally like, or if your quality of vision is actively detracting from your enjoyment of hobbies, you should make an appointment with your optometrist.

What is a refractive error?

A refractive error occurs when the shape of the eye prevents light from focusing on the retina. It’s an unnatural length of the eyeball, whether that be longer or shorter, can cause refractive errors.

III-Nitride growth on silicon (GaN/Si)

When substrates and epi-layers have a large lattice mismatch and a large mismatch of thermal expansion coefficient, a high dislocation density and high tensile stress cause critical wafer bowing and, finally, cracking. Therefore, complex devices such as GaN-based structures on silicon require precise strain engineering to achieve a high quality material. LayTec’s in-situ metrology systems provide direct monitoring of the critical growth parameters for stress compensation and strain engineering. Our tools are used world-wide to improve the performance of power electronic devices (e.g. FET) and optoelectronics (e.g. LEDs).

In-situ tool EpiCurve® TT helps to meet challenges of GaN growth on Si(111) and to prevent cracking. For example, at the Institue of Material and Research Engineering (IMRE, A*STAR) in Singapore, EpiCurve®Triple TT is used in the development of epiwafers for InGaN/GaN LEDs and GaN power electronic devices. The tool is ideally suited for GaN growth optimization on 200 mm silicon because its 3 sensor heads provide radial analysis of growth conditions. In comparison to the time consuming, destructive ex-situ cross section transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis, the in-situ tool provides real-time information on growth thickness, wafer bow, temperature and growth homogeneity already during growth.
According to the researchers at IMRE, EpiCurve®Triple TT has significantly reduced R&D cycles for epitaxial growth optimization and enables faster industrialization of GaN/Si technology. Please find further details about in-situ measurements at IMRE including reflectance screenshots in our newsletter

The experience of GaN growth on Si(111) is now transferred to growth on Si(001) and Si(110), because GaN based power electronics can be easily integrated with Si standard electronics (CMOS) and is available in large sizes up to 300 mm. Our research partner Otto-von-Guericke University in Magdeburg, Germany develops high performance GaN HEMT structures on Si(001) with highly optimized interlayers for stress and defect density control. The researchers use LayTec's EpiCurve® TT in their strain engineering to monitor wafer curvature, growth rates and the structural interface quality. This information helps adjust growth parameters and improve the quality of GaN/Si. For further details including screenshots please download our newsletter

In-situ benefits for GaN/Si growth

LayTec's EpiCurve® TT system monitors such critical parameters as wafer bowing (including asphericity measurements), temperature homogeneity and layer thickness, which have direct impact on the crystalline quality, ternary composition and, therefore, the final device quality. EpiCurve's asphericity signal can be used as early warning for subsequent occurence of plastic deformations. Furthermore, the measured curvature and temperature data directly correlate with the final photoluminescence (PL) homogeneity of optoelectronic devices. For further details please ask us for the talk presented at the 10th International Conference on Nitride Semiconductors  (ICNS-X) by sending your request to info@laytec.de.

President Dallin H. Oaks of the First Presidency and his wife, Sister Kristen M. Oaks, will be the keynote speakers at Family Discovery Day at 1:00 p.m. MST on Saturday, March 3, 2018.

Their message will be streamed live on the home page of

President and Sister Oaks will share insights from their family experience in family history work, the importance of individual families and family connections, the corresponding importance of temples and temple work, and insights into how each person can contribute to family history based on their circumstances.

President Oaks is a strong proponent of family history work and redeeming the dead. He notes that family history work is more than gathering names and dates and encourages everyone to do something. He and Sister Oaks will share special insights into where families belong in the tapestry of human life and the weaving in of individual family heritage—past, present, and future.

Other special guests

Additional Family Discovery Day special guests are Hank Smith, Jason Hewlett, Evie Clair, Kenya Clark, and Alex Melecio, who will celebrate families, the inherent strength of family, family history, memories, and family support.

Popular inspirational speaker and BYU professor Hank Smith has spoken to audiences in nearly every state in the U.S. Smith loves to teach youth and young adults from the scriptures, and he reminds listeners that life in a family has its challenges, but the rewards are eternal. He returns by popular demand from RootsTech 2017 Family Discovery Day.

He will be joined on stage by Jason Hewlett, a world-class performer, who uses comedy, music parody, and impressions to receive standing ovations from audiences worldwide. He began his career with Las Vegas Legends in Concert and has been a member, since 2003, of the National Speakers Association. He has appeared at more than 2,000 events and venues during the past 10 years and is one of the country’s premier corporate event headliners. He has performed in every major casino in Las Vegas, appeared on the nationally televised Jerry Lewis Telethon, and has won numerous Best of State Entertainment Awards in Utah. Together, these two will show youth how to make family history fun!

Evie Clair (13), a recent finalist on America’s Got Talent 2017, credits her father, one of her biggest supporters and her inspiration, for her determination and talents. She began onstage as Annie at the Hale Center Theater at age 8. She arranges music on the piano, released two pop singles before she was 12, sang her original song on a movie soundtrack, and is a popular YouTube performer. Evie’s father passed away a week before her final performance on America’s Got Talent. She sang her original song for the final show with celebrity James Arthur, who tweeted that it was his new favorite song.

Alex Melecio, originally from Sinaloa, Mexico, is an accomplished Latin singer who combines the masculinity of the classic Mexican Charro with the soft sweet poignancy of a pop balladeer. Melecio’s music is fresh and inventive, featuring an acoustic pop sound of his own. His music speaks of hope, courage in hard times, and the longing for home, blending tradition with invention. He has won the hearts of Hispanic audiences in concerts performed in homes to shows in front of 20,000 people. In 2012, his voice reached a national audience as a finalist on Tengo Talento, Mucho Talento, one of the most popular television shows among Hispanics in the U.S.

Kenya Clark, a member of One Voice Children’s Choir and a band singer with the Caleb Chapman's Sound House, has been a singer all her life. This year she toured Japan and France with the One Voice choir. Her Moana video cover won Best Music Video by the 2017 Utah Music Awards.

In addition to hearing guest speakers, guests can attend numerous free sessions specifically designed to help Latter-day Saints with callings and give them the latest tools and resources, one-on-one help, interactive activities, inspiring messages, and fun.

“Here we are, girls.” Mrs. Johnson stopped the car in front of a large, weathered cabin.

Teresa hopped out and dashed to the cabin ahead of the others. “Hey!” she shouted. “We have Jeanne for a counselor again.”

Laura picked up her suitcase and started up the path as Jeanne appeared in the doorway.

“Hi, Laura. I’m glad you and Teresa are in my cabin again.”

“I just hope I don’t get homesick this year.” Laura smiled at her counselor.

“You won’t. The first year is always the hardest,” Jeanne told her. “Have you girls decided which classes you’re going to take?”

“Yes,” answered Teresa, “but the only one we’ll have together is swimming.”

The girls quickly settled in and were eager to start the week’s activities. After breakfast the next morning, they went their separate ways, agreeing to meet at the pool for swimming class. The class was a routine swimming lesson until the last twenty minutes, when the girls worked in pairs to complete their badge requirements. The first one required each person to drop ten coins onto the bottom of the pool and then pick them up one at a time by diving for them from the surface.

“I’ll be first,” Teresa volunteered. She took the coins and dropped them into the water. Diving into the pool, she quickly came to the surface, triumphantly holding her first coin. After ten dives, she had retrieved all ten coins.

“I’ll bet you can’t do it in ten dives,” she challenged Laura.

Laura dropped the coins into the water. Taking a deep breath, she dove for the bottom of the pool. A few seconds later her head popped out of the water, and she grabbed the side of the pool. “Missed by an inch,” she gasped.

Teresa sighed, “You’ll have to do better than that, or we’ll be here all day.”

“I’ll get one this time.” Laura’s second dive was successful, but after twelve dives, she had only nine coins.

“Only one more,” she puffed as she rested her head against the edge of the pool. “I’ll get it this time.” Laura dove for the bottom but came up empty-handed.

“Did you miss again? If we don’t hurry, we’ll be the last ones in the lunch line.” Teresa turned abruptly, dove to the bottom of the pool, and picked up the tenth coin. “Here,” she said, “you were close enough. Nobody will know the difference anyway. Let’s go eat.”

“Teresa! Wait a minute. We can’t do that!”

Laura’s objection dissolved in the breeze, for Teresa was already approaching the swimming teacher.

“Laura and I finished our first badge requirement,” Teresa said as she handed the coins to the instructor.

Laura slowly climbed out of the pool and followed Teresa, keeping her eyes down as she passed the instructor. She grabbed her towel and ran out the gate but slowed to a walk as Teresa disappeared around a bend in the trail. Reaching the swinging bridge, Laura leaned over the wooden railing and stared down at the clear stream. Her unhappy reflection stared back.

“What’s taking you so long?” Teresa stood at the end of the bridge.

“I’m coming.”

Later that day Laura went to the pool to practice her swimming. After standing beside the pool for several minutes, she suddenly squared her shoulders and approached the lifeguard’s chair. “This morning Teresa helped me with my diving,” she said. “I want to do it over again.”

The lifeguard looked up. “OK,” she said. “The coins are on the table.”

Laura picked up the coins and walked slowly back to the pool. Teresa’s probably right, she thought. Nobody cares anyway. But she threw the coins into the pool and began diving. Finally all ten coins lay beside her on the edge of the pool. The lifeguard nodded briefly as Laura returned the coins to the table and ran out the gate. When she reached the cabin, Teresa was there.

“How was swimming?” she asked.

“Just fine,” Laura answered. Smiling to herself, she thought, Teresa was wrong. It does make a difference to somebody. It makes a difference to me.

Are you ready? The Digital Advertising Alliance announced that it will begin enforcing the industry's cross-device privacy code beginning February 1, 2017.

The "Application of the DAA Principles of Transparency and Control to Data Used Across Devices" established privacy rules for companies that collect data from one type of device—a tablet, laptop, or smartphone, for example—and use it to serve ads to the same consumer on a different device. Companies must provide notice to consumers about the cross-device tracking, as well as offer consumers the opportunity to opt out.

The code was based on the DAA's preexisting privacy rules, which require companies to notify consumers about online behavioral advertising and offer the ability to opt out of receiving targeted ads.

"The DAA Principles have kept pace with technological advances and changes in advertising business models, and the DAA cross-device guidance helps companies consistently apply the DAA hallmarks of enhanced consumer transparency and control across our rapidly expanding multi-device, multi-browser world," DAA Executive Director Lou Mastria said in a statement. "This enforcement date sets a common marker for the industry to achieve compliance with the DAA cross-device guidance, so consumers have access to more uniform notice around cross-device practices and know their choices on each browser or device are honored."

Although the self-regulatory group first published the rules in November 2015, it elected to delay enforcement to provide plenty of time for companies to incorporate the code into their policies and practices.

Enforcement—based on proactive monitoring of advertising as well as responding to consumer complaints—will be overseen by the Direct Marketing Association in cooperation with the Council of Better Business Bureau's Online Accountability Program, which has announced more than 70 compliance actions over the last five years.

To read the DAA's cross-device privacy rules, click here.

Why it matters: Companies that aren't already in compliance with the DAA's cross-device privacy rules now have less than three months to prepare themselves before enforcement begins.

UntitledAnother doctor in the making. Participation in the LSF Charity Ride 2017 will support a student like Nhung to realize her dream.

Education of some of Vietnams brightest – Nhung is 21 years old, and has always been an extremely bright student. She is currently studying Medicine at Hue University. There are 5 members in Nhung’s family; her parents, her older brother and younger sister. Nhung’s younger sister, Lua, is currently completing the last year of her 7 year Lifestart Foundation Secondary Scholarship, funded by the Lowther Hall Grammar School in Melbourne, she too hopes to study Medicine and become a doctor. Suffice to say both girls are excellent students.

Nhung’s mother cleans fish at the market for a very low wage, and her father is a laborer. While her father would like to work more, he suffers from severe back problems, which can impact the hours and type of labour he can do. Their salary combined with the salary her brother earns through farming, only equals a monthly income of 5,000,000 vnd, or $250 usd for the family of five. Their income goes towards paying for the family food, electricity and medicine and would in no way be enough to support both of their daughters education. Especially two six year Medical degrees.

Again through the Lifestart Foundation Educational Scholarship Program, sponsors from Australia were found for Nhung and they have been supporting her with University fees, books and a living away from home allowance. Currently Nhung is in the third year of her six-year University degree, majoring in Preventive Medicine. She is eager to one day earn an income to support her family, and positively impact their economic position as well as being able to help the wider disadvantaged community. During her summer break from University Nhung volunteered at the Lifestart Foundation workshop.

tagFirst TimeIt Was More Than Just Sex

It Was More Than Just Sex

I wasn't openly gay until I was 17 years old, and even then I was a virgin. I had one sexual encounter when I went back to school to get my science credit for Biology.

I am now 22 years old, and I have a story to tell about my ex-relationship that I was in for 15 months, engaged. She started off as just a friend for 3 years. She enjoyed my company and we only became close in the winter of 2011. I never thought we would ever date, but once we became close, I developed a sexual attraction to her that I never thought could be so strong. The night that I told her I had feelings for her, she admitted to liking me for the past 3 years. We lay on the couch, watching a movie. I moved closer to her, and that we both came face to face. She kissed me softly, and I got a shiver in my spine. After a few minutes of kissing, we both talked. We knew there had to be more to this. She asked me to be her girlfriend. Without a doubt, I said yes. We never had a sexual encounter before dating, but I was totally fine with that.

She told me to come into her bedroom, and I followed her quickly. She started kissing me on the lips, and we continued to kiss for quite some time. She started kissing my neck, and I started to feel nervous. This was the first time I felt so sexual in quite some time. She removed my shirt and started to admire my breasts, but didn't stop there. She removed the snaps on the back of my bra with one hand and began to touch my breasts and nipples. I told her to keep going, and she put her tongue on my nipples and started to suck them. Her mouth moved down to my navel, and I felt my pussy starting to get wet. She removed my jeans and put her hand on my thighs. I started kissing her more, as she removed my panties and touched my hairless pussy. I began to moan, and I didn't want her to fuck me until her clothes were off too. I demanded her to take off her shirt, and I began to remove her bra within seconds, amd sucked her nipples until she moaned.

I stood there naked, removing her jeans and panties. She also had a hairless pussy that I wanted to fuck so bad. We both stood there naked, and before she got a chance to put her hand on my pussy, I pushed her on the bed. I played with her clit, making her extremely wet. I admired the scent of her perfume on her neck and I looked at her, and she whispered in my ear, "fuck me." instantly I put my two fingers in her wet pussy and she began to moan. I took control of everything, and that was the way I liked it. I continued to fuck her hard, and the faster I went, the more pussy juices I felt exit her pussy. She was soaked, and I was so attracted to her.

She let out a scream, and said, "oh my god, fuck me harder, I'm going to cum" I had so much confidence and I fucked her so hard. Her back began to arch, and I knew she was climaxing and about to cum any minute. She wanted me to stop, but at the same time, I knew this was my big chance of making a good impression on our first sexual encounter. I began to whisper in her ear as I fucked her, "don't make me stop, I wanna make you cum so hard, you're so sexy!"

After multiple organs, and being in charge, she begged me to stop. I did, and we both lay on the bed, gasping for air. She looked at me and smiled. After she caught her breath, she told me how amazing it felt. I smiled at her and kissed her mouth passionately. I lay on my back, and it was her turn to make me orgasm, but as I was fucking her, my pussy was already wet. She began to kiss my neck again, and slowly moved down to my navel, and I opened my legs for better access of my pussy. Her touch was amazing, and nothing I've ever felt with a woman. This was more than just lust. She began to play with my clit, and the squishy sounds of my pussy juice arroused me even more. She slowly slid down into my pussy, and put one finger in my tight pussy. It wasn't my first time, but I had a tight pussy because I was more of a giver than a taker. She slid her finger in and out as I moaned so loud! She put hand over my mouth, because we were in an apartment building, and surely someone was going to hear me moan. I moaned, "fuck me harder, don't stop, I want you inside of me more!" I didn't expect to ever feel this good, and I wanted more fingers inside of me, even if it meant pain. I didn't care, I wanted her inside of me. She put two fingers in my pussy, and she had to shove them in hard. I screamed, but I didn't want her to stop. By this time, I felt like I had at least four orgasms, as my pussy was soaked with cum. Every time I would be close to having an orgasm, my body would start shaking, which I believe made her feel more attracted to me. I couldn't take any more, and begged her to stop. This was the best sex I've ever had.

We both lay naked and I felt a cold shiver, as it was the end of February. She put a blanket over my body, and pulled me closer to her. I felt more intimate with her than I ever did with any one else. I was so content as she held me close to her warm, naked body. We were both exhausted from our first time having sex, and by then it was at least 2am. We both stayed naked and slept in each others arms, and I knew for a fact, that this was going to be the start of a beautiful relationship. Not only physically, but emotionally as well. She made me feel like I was the most beautiful person she laid eyes on. But she was so gorgeous, and attractive in every way.

I know we aren't together any more, and it didn't end in the easiest or more pleasant way, but I know I will always admire you and love you until the day that I die. You were the best thing that has ever happened to me.

10 Remarkable Health Benefits Of Pineapple

pineapple health benefitsThe pokey, prickly brownish yellow fruit — pineapple — reminds us of ‘Buck’ from ‘Ice Age.’ However, the health benefits of pineapple may surprise you. It has a serious and effective impact on your health.

The origin of pineapple is found to be Paraguay and Brazil, but the most significant ones were grown in Hawaii. But, as times passed, this juicy fruit spread across the world. Its health benefits became popular, and today, it is grown and exported all over the world.

The leading cultivators of pineapples are known to be Brazil, Philippines, and Costa Rica. It was first brought to Europe when Columbus returned from the Caribbean nations in 1493. The fruiting season of pineapple is from March to June. The pineapple was named so because it resembled the prickly texture of pinecones, but the only difference is the size.

Everyone loves the delicious yummy juice of pineapples. It is often mixed with cocktails and alcoholic beverages to add a distinct flavor. But one needs to be careful of the thorny spikes and hard waxy leaves. If you do not peel the fruits properly, it can cause a strange itchy feeling in your throat. The most popular drink prepared from pineapple juice is the pina colada.

Now talking about the health benefits of pineapple, one many be surprised because it improves the respiratory system, enhances digestion,  good for oral health,  fights against infections & parasites,  boosts the immune system, helps maintain weight, great for eye health, makes your bones strong, treats coughs & cold, prevents cancer-causing cells, sustains a healthy heart, reduces inflammation, and increases circulation.

The fruit can be eaten fresh, juiced or even cooked and preserved. Diet conscious people will also be happy to know that pineapples have extremely low-fat content.

10 Best Health Benefits Of Pineapple

Nutritionally, Pineapple is a rich fruit. It consists of vitamins, minerals that include potassium, manganese, magnesium, copper and calcium. It also consists of Vitamin C, carotene, B6, folate, bromelain and thiamin. There is also soluble and insoluble fiber in pineapples. These nutrients are the reason for pineapple health benefits.health benefits of pineapple juice

Here is the list of some of the health benefits of pineapple:

1. Relief from Arthritis

A rare element called Bromelain (a proteolytic enzyme) is an effective protein breaking compounds. It reduces inflammation in the bones, muscles and joints. Arthritis is a disease that affects the bones majorly, especially in the old age. It affects millions of people around the world crossing race and region boundaries. Regular consumption of pineapple reduces the signs and symptoms of arthritis.

2. Increases Immunity

Vitamin C is an important component to maintain the body’s immunity. It may surprise you to know that pineapple has more than 130 percent of Vitamin C than what the body needs daily, which makes it the richest source of vitamin C. Unlike other citric fruits pineapple are not sour. Vitamin C fights illness and stimulates the activity of white blood cells, which are the disease-fighting cells in our body. It also acts as an antioxidant and defends against the free radicals and their harmful effects.

3. Treats Cold and Cough

Along with a good boost for the immune system, pineapple also helps the body from within to treat diseases like cold and cough. The vitamin C present in pineapples along with bromelain, which is already, mentioned above stops the mucus from building up in the respiratory tract and sinus cavities. It also reduces phlegm.

Phlegm and mucus cause cold and cough. So when you treat them, you automatically are working on your cold and cough. The bromelain in pineapple loosens those materials and helps its elimination from the body if the body has also contracted illness or infection from a cold.

4. Strong Bones

Many people think that calcium is the only source of strength for the bones. However, this is not the truth. Along with calcium, you also need minerals in small quantities. Pineapple has a good quantity of manganese, which is required for the strength of the bones.

It repairs and helps in the smooth growth of bones. A single serving of pineapple serves 70 percent of more than what is required by the body on a daily basis. Manganese in pineapples is necessary for maintaining healthy bones.

5. Prevention of Cancer

Along with the rich source of Vitamin C and antioxidants, which are essential to fight cancer, pineapple also consists of vitamin a, beta-carotene, manganese, bromelain and compounds of flavonoids. All the compounds together fight against the free radicals, which cause cancers in the throat, mouth, and breast. So munch on a few pineapple slices to stay away from Cancer now and in future too.

6. Health of Tissue and Cellular

As mentioned earlier too, pineapples are a storehouse of vitamin C, and it is essential for the creation of creating collagen. Vitamin C is rightly called as a healing vitamin because by creating and healing collagen in the body, this vitamin provides a protein base for skin, all organs, bones and blood vessels walls. A good content of Vitamin C helps the body deal with the wound, infections, and injuries.

7. Eye Health

Many research and experiments have directly associated pineapples with strong eye vision.They also work well for age-related Beta-carotene helps delay vision problems including macular degeneration effects, especially in older adults. Pineapples contain beta carotene. So include as much pineapple as possible in your diet regularly.

8. Good for Oral Health

Pineapples also fight against oral cancer because of the strong antioxidants in this fruit. Along with this the powerful astringent properties which strengthen the gums and keep the teeth fixed to those gums firmly.

Not just your teeth, but the astringent properties also make sure that the tissues are held tight, and things don’t fall loose like hair fall, teeth fall skin loosening or even muscle weakness. Due to the astringent properties, pineapples are often recommended as a natural remedy to fix loosening teeth and during retraction of gums.

9. Healthy Bowel Movements

Disgusting things ought to be dealt with. Pineapple goes a long way in solving digestion problems. Like most fruits, pineapples are a rich source of fibers. They contain both soluble and insoluble fibers. Eating a healthy amount of pineapple increases the fiber content which is extremely necessary for good and easy bowel movements.

Eating the right amount of pineapples can protect you from constipation, diarrhea blood clotting, and irritable bowel syndrome. The soluble and insoluble fiber in the pineapple gives volume to the stool and helps in its easy passage.

It also stimulates the release of gastric and digestive juices that help the food to dissolve. Fiber also cleans the blood vessels of excess cholesterol and eliminates it from the body. The same fiber that helps you with bowel movements also cleans your blood vessels and boosts the cardiovascular health.

10. Blood Birculation & Blood Pressure

Talking about cardiovascular health, pineapples are also a good fruit for the blood. Out of the many minerals present in pineapple, copper is the most important one for the good health of the blood. It works in some compounds and enzymatic reactions in the body.

Copper is also a necessary mineral for the formation of red blood cells. Red blood cells work as carriers of oxygen to various body parts and oxygen is extremely necessary so that the organs can function properly. It also goes a long way to prevent disorders like Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

Along with copper, pineapples are also a great storehouse of potassium. Potassium helps the heart because of the function of potassium is to ease tension on the blood vessels, arteries, and veins. It also promotes blood circulations to other body parts.

Once the tension from the blood vessels is reduced, the blood pressure drops and blood is allowed to flow freely. Eating potassium-filled pineapple is extremely helpful for people suffering from heart attack history, atherosclerosis, and strokes.

So now that you know the wonders of this pokey fruit go to the market and buy it. The fun fact is that vitamin C is the most important vitamin found in the fruit, but despite that, it is not at all sour to taste. The distinct taste of pineapple has found its place in various cuisines and cakes. The export-import business of pineapple is growing because now more and more people are getting to know the nutrients of pineapples.

Aargh! I just hate the taste of pineapple. Once I had it and ended up in vomiting :@

  • Hello Kavitha Mahesh, It varies from person to person some may like it and some may not like it. You can try some other fruit which has the same benefit as pineapple. Thanks!

  • I just love eating pineapple and I was amazed by the benefits of it. It would have been better if you had cut short the points rather than giving detailed facts. Cheers!

Icebreaker Tornado

This fleece mid layer weighs 518g (size L); merino wool is antimicrobial so odour is minimal; small key-sized pocket at hem; short front zip; high collar; close fit. But more of a thick base layer or a mid layer for wearing under more practical mid layers than a single mid layer garment; no large pockets; not as windproof or as hard-wearing as some other garments.

Verdict: Buy it if you want extra insulation to wear under more practical mid layers.

Roberto Martinez's style of football is “right for Everton” according to Goodison legend Neville Southall - who says under David Moyes the Blues were ‘boring’.

Fans favourite has called on his former club to show their true colours, starting with tonight’s crucial Europa League clash in Kiev.

Everton head into the game protecting a slender 2-1 advantage from last week’s first leg, and knowing that defeat would end any hopes of a successful season.

With his side sitting 14th in the Premier League, having won just seven league games all season, Martinez has come in for plenty of criticism in recent months, in particular for championing a brand of football which some deem too passive.

“Roberto’s way is the right way!" - Southall

Neville Southall, Everton goalkeeper

Southall, though, believes the Catalan should be given the chance to get things right.He told the Daily Express: “The type of football Roberto plays is not wrong for Everton. It is right for Everton.

“Sometimes it maybe doesn’t go forward quickly enough and that is the only thing I would say. If I have someone like (Romelu) Lukaku, I don’t want him with his back to goal.

“I was doubtful when Roberto first arrived because of Wigan. But he is not Mike Walker (Everton manager in 1994) because he knows something about football. He has a deep knowledge of football. He knows what he wants.

“When we started the season we only really had the squad we had last season. It did well last season, but it needed another couple of bodies at least.

“It just seems to be that there is something not quite right and I don’t think it is the manager and I don’t think it is the players. It might just need a spark somewhere.

Moyes produced ‘boring football”

“What people have to remember is that under David Moyes, the football was boring. It was defensive football really and people were crying out for a change. I was one of them.

“When Roberto came in it was a breath of fresh air because he went and attacked everyone.

“I don’t think for a minute Everton will go down. They will get through this season and it could be the best thing that’s ever happened to them.

“They have had a good season under Roberto and now a s*** season, so let’s see the real Everton. It could be real motivation for next season.

“Also, it could be they survive relegation and win a cup. There is form here for that. We did it in 1995 and are there any teams in Europe to be scared off? No. Not for me.”

Blues have the quality to compete

Southall believes Everton, under Martinez, have plenty of quality in their ranks, and says they are “a moment or a player away” from being a competitive team.

He said: “When David Moyes first came in it took him 11 years to build a team that he thought was ok ... and he still wasn’t satisfied with that team. How long as Roberto been there?

“They are a moment or a player away from being a decent team. They have two decent goalkeepers, two of the best full-backs in Europe, two decent centre-halves, a young one who is going to be top, top class.

“The midfield is okay, you’ve got pace wide with Lennon and Mirallas, in centre midfield McCarthy has been excellent. Barry has had a bit of stick, Gibson’s not played a lot, but Naismith has been absolutely magnificent and been my player of the year so far. Lukaku has been through good and bad periods.”

BMI Not a Good Measure of Healthy Body Weight, Researchers Argue
BMI is based on weight and height, not on body fat.

When it comes to defining what body weight is considered healthy, one type of measurement does not fit all, some scientists say.

Body mass index is the standard metric for determining who is normal-weight, overweight and obese, but BMI is not an accurate measure of fat, and doesn't explain the causes of poor health, scientists argue in an editorial today (Aug. 22) in the journal Science.

Obesity can be a major risk for diabetes, heart disease and death, yet paradoxically, some studies suggest being overweight can improve survival of chronic diseases.

"Most studies depend on BMI, and we know it's not a very accurate measure," said Dr. Rexford Ahima, a medical professor at the University of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia, and co-author of the editorial. [8 Reasons Our Waistlines Are Expanding]

A person's BMI is calculated as her weight in kilograms divided by her height in meters, squared. A BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 is considered "normal," a BMI of 25 to 29.9 is "overweight," and a BMI greater than 30 is "obese."

People with BMIs higher than 30 are at an increased risk of dying from heart disease, diabetes, cancer and other diseases, many studies have shown. But several recent studies suggest that in some cases, a high BMI could actually protect a person from dying of heart failure, kidney failure and other chronic diseases.

When someone has a chronic illness, having more fat could possibly provide additional energy reserves. And in some cases, a low BMI may be a result of a person having an illness.

The health risks and benefits of obesity have generated "a lot of sniping back and forth between different groups of researchers," Ahima told LiveScience.

The problem stems from the fact that BMI is an inaccurate measure of health, Ahima said.

For one thing, BMI doesn't take into account fat, and it doesn't indicate where fat is distributed on the body. Belly fat (fat around the abdominal organs) increases the risk of diabetes, heart disease and death, whereas peripheral fat (fat beneath the skin elsewhere in the body) may be more innocuous, studies suggest. BMI also fails to account for differences in race, gender and age.

So why is the measurement so widely used? "Because it's simple," Ahima said, adding that it's easy to weigh people and measure their height. For most people, BMI provides a "reasonable measure" of body fat, but is not accurate for athletes (who weigh more because of muscle) or older people who have lost height, he said.

Other methods of measuring body fat also have their pros and cons. CT and MRI scans can accurately measure body fat, but are usually very expensive. DEXA scans, normally used to measure bone density, can also be used to measure body fat, but are costly as well. Measuring levels of the hormone leptin can also be an indicator of body fat.

There's no single number that can represent a healthy weight, Ahima said. It depends on starting weight, genetics and gender, among other factors.

Obesity is a complex disorder — it's not just having too much fat, he said. It's important to consider fat in relation to the amount of muscle.

And scientists need to start looking more closely at cause-and-effect in body fat and disease, Ahima said. "What is it about being obese that makes one unhealthy or healthy? We need to understand the molecular mechanisms."

Your glutes might be some of the biggest and most powerful muscles in the body, but you can still work them with simple floor exercises that require little to no equipment. Pick exercises that isolate the glutes and force them to work against your bodyweight. There's no excuse to avoid doing these because you can do them almost anywhere.

The glutes are the most powerful hip muscles. There are three glute muscles. The gluteus maximus -- your butt muscles -- are the biggest muscles in the body. The gluteus medius and minimus are smaller hip muscles that are on the outside of your hips.

You can work these powerful muscles most effectively when you turn off your hamstrings. The hamstrings, which run down the back of your thigh, help the glutes when you run, jump or do movements like the deadlift.

The hamstrings also help extend your hips or pull your leg back. If you can take the hamstrings out of a movement you'll force the glutes to do all of the work. Bending your knee shortens the hamstrings, which stops them from assisting the glutes.

How to: Lie on the ground on your back with your knees bent and feet planted on the ground. Push through your heels and drive your hips up into the air. At the top of the movement your body should be in a straight line from your knees to your chest.

Squeeze your glutes at the top and then lower your butt back down to the floor. You can do up to 20 reps per set of this exercise.

Single-Leg Glute Bridge

If the regular glute bridge wasn't difficult enough for you, try this single-leg variation that works your butt muscles one side at a time.

How to: Lie on your back on the ground in the glute bridge position with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground. Raise your right leg off the ground, keeping the knee bent. Reach your left arm across your body and press your left hand against the top of your right thigh.

Press your leg into your hand and vice versa, creating tension in your leg and arm. Keep that tension and press through your left heel to drive your hips up into the air, squeezing your left glute. Do 10 reps and then switch sides.

Donkey Kicks

The donkey kick isolates your glutes by shortening your hamstrings and taking them out of the movement, forcing your butt muscles to do all of the work.

How to: Start in an all-fours position on the ground with your hands under your shoulders and knees under your hips. Lift your left knee off the ground and keep it bent at 90 degrees. Extend your left leg back and up until your knee is facing the wall behind you and the bottom of your foot is facing the ceiling.

From here, squeeze your left glute and press the bottom of your foot towards the ceiling. Bring it back down to complete one rep. Do 10 reps with that leg then put the knee back down and switch sides.

Frog Thrusters

While this exercise may look awkward, it isolates the glutes by forcing them to do the two things they do best -- extend your hips and rotate your legs out.

How to: Lie on the ground on your back. Bend your knees and put the bottoms of your feet together. Let your knees fall down to the side. Press your feet together and down into the ground as you press your hips up into the sky. There is a small range of motion in this exercise and your hips might only rise up a few inches but you should still feel it in your glutes.

Side-Lying Abductions

It's important to work the small glute muscles, the medius and minimus, in addition to the big gluteus maximus.

How to: Lie on your side with your legs stacked up on top of each other and knees completely straight. Your shoulders should be completely vertical. Raise your top leg up vertically with the knee straight. Make sure it goes up straight instead of forward or backward.

Raise up the leg as high as you can, without turning your toes up, and pause for a second before lowering back down. Do 10 reps on that leg and then flip over to work the other side. You can make this exercise harder by putting a resistance band around your ankles.

Prone Hip Extensions

This is one of the most simple glute exercises that you can do, but it isolates the glute well.

How to: Lie on your stomach with your arms folded under your head and your forehead resting on your forearms. Your legs should be straight and on the ground. Bend one knee until it's at 90 degrees and the bottom of the raised foot is facing the ceiling.

Press that foot straight up to the ceiling while keeping your knee bent. Squeeze your glute as you press up. Hold it at the top for a second, then lower it back down to the ground.

The Difference Between a Laxative & Stool Softener

author image Daniel Schellenger Jr.
Daniel Schellenger Jr. started writing in 1992 with his first publication in an EMS trade magazine. Over his 16 years in public safety, he has published in professional magazines, including "Disaster Recovery Journal" and "EMS Magazine." Awards include a certificate of achievement by the Emergency Management Institute, and he is currently pursuing a degree in emergency management at the University of Colorado at Denver.
The Difference Between a Laxative & Stool Softener
Laxatives and stool softeners should be used for short-term relief of constipation.

Your body relies on the nutrients from the foods you eat for survival. Mechanical and chemical processes break food down into molecules that are absorbed through your intestines, and the resulting waste is eliminated during a bowel movement. Constipation results from this normal process slowing down and causing additional symptoms. Laxatives or a stool softener help relieve these symptoms.

Video of the Day

The Digestive System

Breakdown of food is accomplished through mechanical and chemical processes. First, your teeth break the food down into small portions for swallowing down the esophagus and into the stomach, where churning with chemicals breaks it down further. The food is then pushed through the small intestine, where digestive enzymes from the gallbladder and pancreas break the food down into small nutrient molecules that can be easily absorbed. By the end of the journey through the large intestine, the food material is stripped of nutrients and water, leaving only a mass of waste product called stool waiting to be eliminated.

Constipation is defined as infrequent bowel movements, hard stool or a sense of incomplete emptying after a bowel movement. According to, medically speaking constipation is defined as fewer than three bowel movements per week and severe constipation less than one per week. (See Reference 2) Causes include dehydration, lack of high-fiber foods in your diet, retaining stool after you feel the urge to have a bowel movement, hormonal disorders and medications such as narcotic pain relievers and anti-depression drugs. Constipation causes symptoms of nausea, bloating and cramping. Left untreated symptoms can worsen to rectal bleeding, vomiting and unhealthy weight loss. Treatment starts with consuming naturally occurring fiber foods, increasing fluid intake or using stool softeners or laxatives.

To assist with passing stool during constipation you might use a laxative to stimulate the intestines to eliminate waste. Laxatives come in different forms. Bulk-forming laxatives are not digested. Instead they form a bulky mass that stimulates your bowels to move. Polymer, saline and lactulose laxatives work by drawing moisture into the bowel from surrounding tissue, creating a soft bulky stool that stimulates movement. Lubricant laxatives coat the inner lining of the colon, preventing moisture from being absorbed and making the passage of stool easier. Stimulant laxatives act directly on the colon wall by stimulating muscle contraction of the muscles moving the stool along.

Stool Softeners

Stool softeners can be considered laxatives but they are not used to cause you to have a bowel movement. Instead, they allow you to have one by softening the stool mass itself. According to Medline Plus, a stool softener is used on a short-term basis to relieve constipation for people who should avoid straining. The ingredients do not stimulate a bowel movement or irritate the bowel wall. They are helpful for people with heart conditions, or after pelvis or rectal surgery or childbirth.

Side Effects

Because of the side effects associated with taking them, laxatives and stool softeners should only be used for short-term relief of constipation discomfort. According to, side effects of laxative use include belching, diarrhea, cramping, gas and nausea. Habitual use of them could result in excessive thirst, weakness, muscle cramping, difficulty swallowing, itchy skin rash, difficulty breathing and even paralysis. You also risk another condition to where your GI tract becomes dependent on you taking the laxative or stool softener to have a bowel movement. Seek medical attention if you experience any of these situations.

The Best Face Products for Sensitive Skin

The Best Face Products for Sensitive Skin

Finding the best products to care for your sensitive skin can be a trying task. Although sensitive skin is prone to redness, irritation, dryness and inflammation, the right skin care regimen can make a difference. Keep your skin happy by finding the right balance of ingredients in the products you use every day.

Video of the Day

Go Gentle on Cleansers

One of the worst things you can do to sensitive skin is to aggravate it with scrubbing beads and other harsh ingredients. Gentle cleansers, either in cream or gel form, work best on all types of sensitive skin. They remove excess dirt and oil without causing irritation. Avoid products with fragrance, preservatives and dyes to prevent rashes and possible allergic reactions.

Tone It Down

Toner is an additional step in the skin care routine, and it can be one of the trickiest types of products to use if you have sensitive skin. If you have acne, a salicylic acid-based toner may reduce the inflammation associated with blemishes. If you don't have acne, avoiding acid and alcohol in your toner.

Hydration Balancing Act

Aside from a cleanser, a moisturizer is the most important part of your daily skin care routine. It seals in water to keep your face from drying out. Acne-prone skin can benefit from a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer, although a moisturizer with tea tree oil may help prevent blemishes. For rash-prone skin, choose face-protecting creams that are allergy tested. Choose a daytime moisturizer with sunscreen to protect your face from sun damage that causes premature wrinkles.

Sensitive Face Extras

All skin types can benefit from an occasional mask, as well as some form of spot treatment. If you don’t choose the right extras, you can undo any benefits of your sensitive skin care basics. Masks made with chamomile, cucumber and green tea can soothe rashes, while preservative-free mud masks are suitable for acne-prone skin. As a rule, perform a patch test with any new product. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends testing the product and waiting up to 48 hours to see how your skin reacts. Test on your arm instead of your face.

Why Husbands Go on Dating Sites

Online dating websites offer opportunities for men to connect with other men and women. Dating sites are portable, and men can access the database from any computer with an Internet connection. Many dating sites have mobile applications that enhance opportunities to explore potential relationships. Some husbands may go on dating sites out of simple, innocent curiosity, but that curiosity may come from desires that differ for each individual man.

Video of the Day

Some men may want more human contact. Paul J. Zak, writing on Psychology Today, reports that the hormone oxytocin may promote monogamy and help sustain pair bonds in males and females. The brain releases oxytocin during sex, touch and most positive social interaction. Husbands who do not get sex from a wife or lack positive interactions with her may use dating websites to seek out a healthier relationship.

According to Zak, testosterone conflicts with the monogamous effects of the hormone oxytocin in the brain, and higher testosterone levels make a man’s cost-benefit analysis consider situations that are more current and self-focused. Husbands with high testosterone levels may go on dating sites to satisfy immediate hormonal urges that suppress the effect of hormones that promote monogamy.

Some unhappy husbands seek out opportunities for infidelity. "Time" magazine reports that a man who depends on his wife’s income is five times more likely to cheat than a man with an equal wage. Your husband may go on dating sites to seek out opportunities for escaping his life or feelings of financial inferiority.

Heterosexual Sex with Men

Dating sites can help heterosexual men seek out sex with straight men. Dating sites can offer anonymous and detached sexual opportunities to heterosexual men who want to explore homoerotic fantasies. According to psychotherapist and sexologist Joe Kort, straight men have sex with straight men, because they are attracted to the act of sex, but not the other man. Husbands may use dating sites to seek out sexual experiences with other heterosexual men.

Some men with high-paying jobs cheat just because they can. "Time" magazine reports that high-income jobs can provide cheating opportunities, such as long hours, travel and disposable income. Husbands with high-paying jobs may use dating sites to seek out partners for infidelity.

Techie Curious

Technology offers tools that can change innocent opportunities into bona fide infidelity. Some personal websites are designed specifically for people who seek extramarital affairs. Mobile applications and websites offer tools for people who seek extramarital encounters. Husbands may use a social dating application out of curiosity for an intriguing new community, or seek out adulterous opportunities with like-minded cheaters.

Medicare Part D (Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage)

Also as part of the passage of the Medicare Modernization Act Medicare Part D went into effect on January 1, 2006. Anyone with Part A or B is eligible for Part D. In order to receive this benefit, a person with Medicare must enroll in a stand-alone prescription drug plan or Medicare Advantage plan with prescription drug coverage. These plans are approved and regulated by the Medicare program, but are actually designed and administered by private health insurance companies and private drug companies.

Unlike Original Medicare (Part A and B), Part D coverage is not standardized. Plans choose which drugs they wish to cover, at what level (or tier) they wish to cover it, and are free to choose not to cover some drugs at all.  When choosing a Part D Prescription Drug Plan it is very important to make sure all your medications are covered by the plan.

Part D does have a limit to coverage and this is referred to in the Medicare community as the "doughnut hole".  It refers to a gap in prescription drug coverage under Medicare Part D.  There are three phases to coverage.   In the first phase or the Initial Coverage Phase you will pay copayments for your medications based on those “tiers” I mentioned above.   Your insurance will report all your purchases to Medicare and Medicare will keep track of the TOTAL cost of these drugs.   Once that total has reached a dollar limit set by the federal government the insurance company no longer pays for a portion of your drugs.  You are now responsible for the full cost of your medications.  You are given a discount to help you during this time and those discounts are changing every year as well as the dollar limits as part of the Affordable Health Care Act, gradually narrowing the coverage gap until it disappears in 2020.

If you have further questions, please Contact us for more information

Why is my UPS making a noise when I turn on my computer?

    You should replace your UPS ASAP, due to the fact that something internal may be broken. Never mess with batteries.

    Check the power supply.
    Power up and downs may come at times. Better bring and attach a stabilizer to your computer.

    Check your battery.
    Battery life may be expired. Replace your UPS battery or buy a new UPS.

    I guess its a rattling sound. Something has got detached or broken and the sound is caused due to the vibration of the broken object. Or if the transformer gets displaced, it will cause some buzzing sound as it may get in touch of the inner shell of the ups. This may cause overheating. you should not fix this on your own cz there are transformers inside and a lead acid battery and an inverter too.... You should better go for a mechanic to do this...

  5. Bruce Epper

    Is the UPS always on and running quietly until the computer is turned on or is the UPS turned off if the computer is off? What kind of sound is it? Is it a buzzing noise or rattling?
