ROCKVILLE, Md., March 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Joe Kravitz of Kravitz Dentistry warns that toothbrushes may spread diseases such a periodontal disease, cavities, the flu and viruses. Many family members store their toothbrushes together in the bathroom, which can be dangerous.Dr. Joseph Kravitz, award-winning dental implants dentist located in Rockville, Maryland, is focused on the prevention of oral and systemic diseases, including COVID-19 / Coronavirus. Continue Reading Dr. Joe Kravitz, Rockville, MD "Purchase new toothbrushes and boil them between brushings to prevent the spread of diseases such the flu and other viruses to you, your family, classmates and coworkers," states Dr. Kravitz. "The Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization have shown that high temperatures kill viruses, bacteria and fungi. Therefore, boiling your toothbrushes reduces the chance of reinfection and spread of the germs to other family members, coworkers, classmates and the community." As shown in his book, Dirty Mouth, germs may grow in your mouth at the rate of 20 billion per hour between brushings. After brushing, the tooth brush is wet, allowing for germs like a virus to continue to live. Boiling your toothbrush can kill the virus allowing for future brushing to be free of harmful germs.Dr. Kravitz has pioneered many minimally invasive surgical techniques, smile innovations, and improvements to the delivery of dental health care. Other dentists seek out instruction and mentorship from Dr. Kravitz, based on his extensive professional history of credentials including a Doctorate of Dental Surgery and a Specialty Certificate in Prosthodontics from the University of Maryland Dental School, a Master of Science in Oral Biology from the University of Maryland Graduate School, and a Fellowship in Implant Dentistry from NYU College of Dentistry. It's important to visit your dentist to reduce the presence of periodontal disease, cavities, infections and cracked teeth for they all can weaken your immune system.

In vitro activity of GAR-936 against vancomycin-resistant enterococci, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae.

We report the activity of the new glycylcycline antimicrobial agent GAR-936 against 37 clinical isolates of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (including organisms carrying the vanA, vanB, vanC-1, and vanC-2/3 genes), 26 clinical isolates of methicillin-resistant S. aureus and 30 clinical isolates of high-level penicillin-resistant S. pneumoniae.

All isolates of vancomycin-resistant enterococci, methicillin-resistant S. aureus, and penicillin-resistant S. pneumoniae were inhibited by < or = 1, < or = 2, or < or = 0.25 microg/ml of GAR-936, respectively.

Time kill experiments using vancomycin-resistant enterococci did not demonstrate synergy or antagonism between 2 microg/ml of GAR-936 and 0.25 microg/ml of quinupristin/dalfopristin.


Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is caused by autoimmune beta cell destruction.

The early events triggering T1D and the forces that keep diabetic autoimmunity pancreas specific have been unclear.

Our discovery that autoimmune islet destruction is not beta-cell-exclusive but includes cytotoxic T cell targeting of peri-islet glia, evoked the possibility that T1D pathogenesis may involve neuronal elements beyond beta cell/immune interactions.

Recently, we have found that sensory afferent neurons are a critical component in prediabetes initiation, promoting islet inflammation through altered glucose homeostasis and progressive beta cell stress.

These factors orchestrate a catastrophic cascade culminating in insulin insufficiency mediated by an autoimmune-prone host.

This neuro-immuno-endocrinological triad explains diabetic inflammation as a consequence of local neuropeptide deficiency, leading to an innovative concept of disease pathogenesis with novel therapeutic implications.


Field of the Invention
This invention relates to magnetoresistive (MR) sensors and more particularly to MR sensor devices and methods of fabrication thereof.

for "Method of Fabricating Magnetoresistive Transducer" discloses a method referred to as a Selective Pulse Interdiffusion (SPI) process during which areas destined to become biasing segments of an MagnetoResistive (MR) head are selectively heated using one or more electrical current pulses of short duration.

The transducer is a MR device with an H configuration wherein the cross bar of the H is the active central region of a soft magnetic layer.

Short current pulses are passed through the side legs of the H to change the legs of the H into a hard magnetic material by annealing/resetting soft magnetic layers to cause interdiffusion between a soft magnetic layer (e.g. Permalloy) and an interdiffusion layer of Ti, Ta, Cr or possibly another transition or refractory metal.

5,748,399 of Gill for "Resettable Symmetric Spin Valve" describes a method of annealing AFM layers using short current pulses passed through conductors to heat antiferromagnetic layers beyond their blocking temperatures.

for "Manufacturing Method of Magnetic Head/Apparatus with Spin Valve Effect Magnetoresistive Head" describes a stack of two thin film layers of soft ferromagnetic material separated a thin film layer of a nonmagnetic material, with one of the first and second thin film layers being pinned by a thin film AFM layer.

The stack is annealed after the layers are formed to form a uniaxial anisotropy in the pinned soft magnetic layer.

for "Spin Valve Magneto-resistive Head With Spun Valves Connected in Series" shows a Spin Valve MR head that sets AFM layers that have different blocking temperatures using only two annealing steps.

The head includes two magnetization pinning layers, anti-parallel to each other, including AFM layers one of which is NiMn that has a high blocking temperature and one of which is FeMn that has a low blocking temperature.

NiMn having a high blocking temperature is formed as the first antiferro-magnetic layer . . .

on the first magnetization pinning layer . . .

C. The NiMn is grown in a magnetic field H.sub.01 applied in the first direction.

FeMn is formed as the second antiferromagnetic layer . . .

on the second magnetization spinning layer . . .

C. While applying a magnetic field H.sub.02 in the direction opposite to the first direction, the growth of FeMn is carried out."

10, lines 37-60 it is pointed out that an alternative process can employ a step of heating to the higher blocking temperature and application of field H.sub.01 which is followed by a step of heating to the lesser blocking temperature temperature and application of magnetic field H.sub.02 can be deferred until after formation of the AFM layers.

5,856,897 of Mauri for "Self-Biased Dual Spin Valve Sensor" shows a Dual Spin Valve (DSV) MR sensor with a free magnetic layer between two pinned magnetic layers.


Without animals this planet would be a very different place, indeed many of the remaining life forms could not exist.

As animals ourselves we are linked to a vast network of moving, living, reproducing organisms that form an essential part of the various ecosystems that are themselves competing for survival.

By virtue of our large cognitive capacity and complex societal living structures, we manage and influence many of these ecosystems, in the most extreme way by keeping animals captive for our own benefit.

For these captive animals we manage their health, nutrition, reproduction and even their genetic composition; for wild animals we often have major influences on the habitat, and even the animals themselves, that affect their viability.

This intricate interdependence of humans on other animals is increasingly difficult to sustain in the face of a growing human population, diminishing natural resources, accelerating changes in climate and rapidly evolving societal standards.

The continued existence of many animal species cannot be guaranteed, some systems of keeping captive animals are judged to be immoral, and even within widely accepted systems individual animals may be subjected to suffering.

Captive animals are suspected of widespread transmission of diseases, contributing to climate change and degradation of the landscape.

Changing dietary habits to include more animal products are placing livestock production systems under strain worldwide.

Conversely, animals feed us, clothe us, protect us, amuse us, some probably even reciprocate the love that we give to them, and many people in developing countries are reliant on their livestock.

Evaluating animals\' place in the world today is even more essential than ever before.

Resolving animal issues cannot just be by scientific endeavor, but requires strategic decisions to be made by the whole community.

Providing information rapidly and to everyone is an essential part of empowering the community and its leaders to take the necessary decisions in an informed manner.

This new journal, *Animals*, will provide a forum for all to become rapidly familiar with the latest scientific research on animals and their place in different ecosystems.

The research may be fundamental or applied, and could use a range of techniques from molecular to the study of animal systems.

Rapid review and publication will enable scientists to act much more quickly to address the concerns outlined above.

Long publishing delays of more than one year that hinder your grant and job applications can be avoided by using this journal, which will publish papers as soon as the peer review process has been completed and editorial requirements met.

Due to their widespread availability, open access journal articles are increasingly likely to be cited, and several of the established MDPI journals have already been awarded Impact Factors that are as high as many of the leading animal science journals.

The page charges for *Animals* will be modest, in comparison with both other open access journals and the full cost of the research, and are waived for well-prepared contributions received in 2010 and 2011.

For most publicly-funded research, open access is a *right* for the community members because the work has been funded, indirectly, from the taxes that they pay to the government.

For the researcher, open access gives the opportunity to expose their work to a broader community than just their scientific peers, allowing them to gain from the vastly increased contact with those who will ultimately benefit from the research.

The publisher MDPI has 14 years of open access publishing experience and, with its base in Switzerland, is able to offer a reliable and reputable publishing forum.

This journal has an august body of Editors, with a wide range of experience that will allow them to accurately appraise publications in a wide range of animal topics.

In recent years, the range of topics covered in animal research has expanded considerably, from animal genetics, with its rapidly developing methodology and potential for change, to animal emotions, whose very existence used to be denied.

In *Animals* it will be possible, and often desirable, to include video footage---for example, see the footage from a study of feeding behavior in the endangered mahogany glider as a [supplementary file](#animals-01-00001-s001){ref-type="supplementary-material"} for this editorial---to support the arguments made in the scholarly, rigorous articles that will describe animals\' place in the world today.

Color figures can also be included at no extra cost, for example, [Figure 1](#f1-animals-01-00001){ref-type="fig"} below, which illustrates intensities of noxious gases that colleagues and I recently measured in sheep accommodation.

Another advantage of electronic publishing is that articles are not limited by length, and authors are encouraged to provide adequate detail to enable the study to be fully comprehended, and extended if necessary, and the results to be utilized in further studies, for example in meta-analyses.

Notwithstanding this, authors are also encouraged to write succinctly and to provide a summary of their article in a form that is suitable for an open access forum.

The journal will publish regular research papers, reviews of books and topical issues, communications, and short notes.

Ideas for special issues are welcomed, for example from conferences addressing a topical animal theme.

Researchers are invited to submit high quality, original articles and erudite reviews that will help us to improve our understanding of the place of animals on our planet, and ultimately to benefit the lives of animals, and ourselves.

Fools of the Ring

One winter as I was sleeping over with my best friend Isa, we were a little tired and got this crazy idea to make a parody of the Lord of the Rings. Though we had no script, and no camera. I bought one some months later and the summer that followed we did it. It was just for fun I me and Isa laugh very much when seeing this. But we had no script and had to improvise, it took 8 days to film, it was hard work, because it was so hot and in one scene we were bitten by mosquitoes. But it was worth it, unfortunately I can't complete the editing, because my computer is to slow. I only manage to get some trailers and clip.

The trailers will come here later, but here are some pictures from the movie. Isa played all the character from lotr, except Elrond who was played by her brother.

P. Jackson, taking a "well-deserved" break from the film. He is hiding his face for several reasons. One of them is that he is afraid of angry lotr-fans who claims Jackson is not fair to the book at all. In short: they think the lord of the rings movies stink, and wishes revenge.

Aragorn is forced to drink the worst drink ever; coca cola, after Jackson stole all his tomato juice. Aragorn is really in to fashion. He is here wearing a white tunica, with lovely flowers on it, and a red cap to match. Notice the "a" for "Aragorn".

The evil guys

Saruman playing with his sock puppets, but in spite this and the fact that his beard make him look like Santa Claus, he is a very evil person. Some people are very suspicious that the beard is fake, first of all it does not match his hair color, and it somehow look folded.

Sauron is the evil lord who wishes to control Middle-Earth. Though his "castle" is not a castle, but a house, which actually belongs to his mother. But he refuses all fact that he lives with her. He is eating candy without his mother permission, he says that when he has gained control over all Middle-Earth, he will be allowed to eat candy every day.

The body guard of Sauron is ready for battle.Many have said that this nameless body guard is the bravest person in Mordor.

The other body guard of Sauron trying to save her masters honor after he run screaming back into the house. Unfortunately this fails.

Frodo acting as a little child . He is very sensitive , has the mind of a five-year old, and the IQ of a worm (without offending the worm). He actually looks like a little girl sometimes. However it is reveled that he is not that short, but stands on his knees in the movie so it looks like he is short. (P. Jackson is cheap, and refused to use money on the movie.

Arwen, not so kind and gentle as you may know her. And in reality Aragorn is not in love with her (only with him self), Arwen is dating Boromir, but denies that she loves him (love is not a word that suits her).

Move over, Whitney Houston ... 7-year-old Malea Emma just DOMINATED the National Anthem at the L.A. Galaxy game over the weekend!!!

Okay, maybe she's not at Whitney levels yet -- but she's on track!!!

Emma took the mic and belted out 1 minute and 48 seconds of PURE MAGIC while International soccer superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic smiled and nodded with great approval.

In fact, Zlatan loved it so much he tweeted after the game, "MVP of the game!"

By the way, Emma had to win a contest in order to sing at Sunday's game. The team challenged singers to post a video to social media using the hashtag "#GalaxySocial" to show off their chops.

Emma won by a landslide and, when she showed up to the stadium -- she made the most of her moment.


Global Pinning Synchronization of Complex Networks With Sampled-Data Communications.

This paper investigates the global pinning synchronization problem for a class of complex networks with aperiodic samplings. Combined with the Writinger-based integral inequality, a new less conservative criterion is presented to guarantee the global pinning synchronization of the complex network. Furthermore, a novel condition is proposed under which the complex network is globally pinning synchronized with a given performance index. It is shown that the performance index has a positive correlation with the upper bound of the sampling intervals. Finally, the validity and the advantage of the theoretic results obtained are verified by means of the applications in Chua's circuit and pendulum.


Preconditioned Stochastic Gradient Descent.

Stochastic gradient descent (SGD) still is the workhorse for many practical problems. However, it converges slow, and can be difficult to tune. It is possible to precondition SGD to accelerate its convergence remarkably. But many attempts in this direction either aim at solving specialized problems, or result in significantly more complicated methods than SGD. This paper proposes a new method to adaptively estimate a preconditioner, such that the amplitudes of perturbations of preconditioned stochastic gradient match that of the perturbations of parameters to be optimized in a way comparable to Newton method for deterministic optimization. Unlike the preconditioners based on secant equation fitting as done in deterministic quasi-Newton methods, which assume positive definite Hessian and approximate its inverse, the new preconditioner works equally well for both convex and nonconvex optimizations with exact or noisy gradients. When stochastic gradient is used, it can naturally damp the gradient noise to stabilize SGD. Efficient preconditioner estimation methods are developed, and with reasonable simplifications, they are applicable to large-scale problems. Experimental results demonstrate that equipped with the new preconditioner, without any tuning effort, preconditioned SGD can efficiently solve many challenging problems like the training of a deep neural network or a recurrent neural network requiring extremely long-term memories.


Discriminative Sparse Neighbor Approximation for Imbalanced Learning.

Data imbalance is common in many vision tasks where one or more classes are rare. Without addressing this issue, conventional methods tend to be biased toward the majority class with poor predictive accuracy for the minority class. These methods further deteriorate on small, imbalanced data that have a large degree of class overlap. In this paper, we propose a novel discriminative sparse neighbor approximation (DSNA) method to ameliorate the effect of class-imbalance during prediction. Specifically, given a test sample, we first traverse it through a cost-sensitive decision forest to collect a good subset of training examples in its local neighborhood. Then, we generate from this subset several class-discriminating but overlapping clusters and model each as an affine subspace. From these subspaces, the proposed DSNA iteratively seeks an optimal approximation of the test sample and outputs an unbiased prediction. We show that our method not only effectively mitigates the imbalance issue, but also allows the prediction to extrapolate to unseen data. The latter capability is crucial for achieving accurate prediction on small data set with limited samples. The proposed imbalanced learning method can be applied to both classification and regression tasks at a wide range of imbalance levels. It significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art methods that do not possess an imbalance handling mechanism, and is found to perform comparably or even better than recent deep learning methods by using hand-crafted features only.


Observability of Automata Networks: Fixed and Switching Cases.

Automata networks are a class of fully discrete dynamical systems, which have received considerable interest in various different areas. This brief addresses the observability of automata networks and switched automata networks in a unified framework, and proposes simple necessary and sufficient conditions for observability. The results are achieved by employing methods from symbolic computation, and are suited for implementation using computer algebra systems. Several examples are presented to demonstrate the application of the results.


Evaluating Interactive Graphical Encodings for Data Visualization.

User interfaces for data visualization often consist of two main components: control panels for user interaction and visual representation. A recent trend in visualization is directly embedding user interaction into the visual representations. For example, instead of using control panels to adjust visualization parameters, users can directly adjust basic graphical encodings (e.g., changing distances between points in a scatterplot) to perform similar parameterizations. However, enabling embedded interactions for data visualization requires a strong understanding of how user interactions influence the ability to accurately control and perceive graphical encodings. In this paper, we study the effectiveness of these graphical encodings when serving as the method for interaction. Our user study includes 12 interactive graphical encodings. We discuss the results in terms of task performance and interaction effectiveness metrics.


Bayesian K-SVD Using Fast Variational Inference.

Recent work in signal processing in general and image processing in particular deals with sparse representation related problems. Two such problems are of paramount importance: an overriding need for designing a well-suited overcomplete dictionary containing a redundant set of atoms-i.e., basis signals-and how to find a sparse representation of a given signal with respect to the chosen dictionary. Dictionary learning techniques, among which we find the popular K-singular value decomposition algorithm, tackle these problems by adapting a dictionary to a set of training data. A common drawback of such techniques is the need for parameter-tuning. In order to overcome this limitation, we propose a fully-automated Bayesian method that considers the uncertainty of the estimates and produces a sparse representation of the data without prior information on the number of non-zeros in each representation vector. We follow a Bayesian approach that uses a three-tiered hierarchical prior to enforce sparsity on the representations and develop an efficient variational inference framework that reduces computational complexity. Furthermore, we describe a greedy approach that speeds up the whole process. Finally, we present experimental results that show superior performance on two different applications with real images: denoising and inpainting.


Toward a Reliable Collection of Eye-Tracking Data for Image Quality Research: Challenges, Solutions, and Applications.

Image quality assessment potentially benefits from the addition of visual attention. However, incorporating aspects of visual attention in image quality models by means of a perceptually optimized strategy is largely unexplored. Fundamental challenges, such as how visual attention is affected by the concurrence of visual signals and their distortions; whether visual attention affected by distortion or that driven by the original scene only should be included in an image quality model; and how to select visual attention models for the image quality application context, remain. To shed light on the above unsolved issues, designing and performing eye-tracking experiments are essential. Collecting eye-tracking data for the purpose of image quality study is so far confronted with a bias due to the involvement of stimulus repetition. In this paper, we propose a new experimental methodology to eliminate such inherent bias. This allows obtaining reliable eye-tracking data with a large degree of stimulus variability. In fact, we first conducted 5760 eye movement trials that included 160 human observers freely viewing 288 images of varying quality. We then made use of the resulting eye-tracking data to provide insights into the optimal use of visual attention in image quality research. The new eye-tracking data are made publicly available to the research community.


Affine Non-Local Means Image Denoising.

This paper presents an extension of the Non-Local Means denoising method, that effectively exploits the affine invariant self-similarities present in the images of real scenes. Our method provides a better image denoising result by grounding on the fact that in many occasions similar patches exist in the image but have undergone a transformation. The proposal uses an affine invariant patch similarity measure that performs an appropriate patch comparison by automatically and intrinsically adapting the size and shape of the patches. As a result, more similar patches are found and appropriately used. We show that this image denoising method achieves top-tier performance in terms of PSNR, outperforming consistently the results of the regular Non-Local Means, and that it provides state-of-the-art qualitative results.


Automated Anatomy-Based Tracking of Systemic Arteries in Arbitrary Field-of-View CTA Scans.

We propose an automated pipeline for vessel centerline extraction in 3-D computed tomography angiography (CTA) scans with arbitrary fields of view. The principal steps of the pipeline are body part detection, candidate seed selection, segment tracking, which includes centerline extraction, and vessel tree growing. The final tree-growing step can be instantiated in either a semi- or fully automated fashion. The fully automated initialization is carried out using a vessel position regression algorithm. Both semi-and fully automated methods were evaluated on 30 CTA scans comprising neck, abdominal, and leg arteries in multiple fields of view. High detection rates and centerline accuracy values for 38 distinct vessels demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.


Back-Projection Cortical Potential Imaging: Theory and Results.

Electroencephalography (EEG) is the single brain monitoring technique that is non-invasive, portable, passive, exhibits high-temporal resolution, and gives a directmeasurement of the scalp electrical potential. Amajor disadvantage of the EEG is its low-spatial resolution, which is the result of the low-conductive skull that "smears" the currents coming from within the brain. Recording brain activity with both high temporal and spatial resolution is crucial for the localization of confined brain activations and the study of brainmechanismfunctionality, whichis then followed by diagnosis of brain-related diseases. In this paper, a new cortical potential imaging (CPI) method is presented. The new method gives an estimation of the electrical activity on the cortex surface and thus removes the "smearing effect" caused by the skull. The scalp potentials are back-projected CPI (BP-CPI) onto the cortex surface by building a well-posed problem to the Laplace equation that is solved by means of the finite elements method on a realistic head model. A unique solution to the CPI problem is obtained by introducing a cortical normal current estimation technique. The technique is based on the same mechanism used in the well-known surface Laplacian calculation, followed by a scalp-cortex back-projection routine. The BP-CPI passed four stages of validation, including validation on spherical and realistic head models, probabilistic analysis (Monte Carlo simulation), and noise sensitivity tests. In addition, the BP-CPI was compared with the minimum norm estimate CPI approach and found superior for multi-source cortical potential distributions with very good estimation results (CC >0.97) on a realistic head model in the regions of interest, for two representative cases. The BP-CPI can be easily incorporated in different monitoring tools and help researchers by maintaining an accurate estimation for the cortical potential of ongoing or event-related potentials in order to have better neurological inferences from the EEG.

Articles on Leadership
and Decision Making

Problem Definition
A clear problem definition is the first, and, perhaps, most important step
toward rationally selecting the best alternative.

Many dedicated and intelligent
individuals have produced elegant solutions for problems other than those they
were tasked to solve.

Therefore, a good executive decision maker participates in
problem definition because this step establishes the goal for everything else
that follows and places a premium on professional judgment.

Consensus Team Decision Making
The Westerner and the Japanese man mean something different when they talk of
"making a decision."

In the West, all the emphasis is on the answer to the
question.

To the Japanese, however, the important element in decision making is
defining the question.

The crucial steps are to decide whether there is a need
for a decision and what the decision is about.

And it is in that step that the
Japanese aim at attaining consensus.

Indeed, it is this step that, to the
Japanese, is the essence of decision.

The answer to the question (what the West
considers the decision) follows from its definition.

During the process that
precedes the decision, no mention is made of what the answer might be. . . .

Thus the whole process is focused on finding out what the decision is really
about, not what the decision should be.

Effective Decision Making
One of the critical, but often overlooked, requirements for effective leadership
is sound decision making.

This is especially true as we soar ever higher into
the ranks of middle and upper management.

Typically, as this progression occurs,
leaders become more focused on strategic decisions relating to plans, policies,
programs and personnel, and less consumed with day-to-day tactical concerns.

Good decision making, especially in middle and upper management, will therefore
likely increase overall organizational health and effectiveness.

Understanding
the meaning and art of deciding, therefore, is paramount.

Ethical Decision-Making: The Link Between Ambiguity and
Accountability
A growing body of literature thoroughly examines the topic of ethics in public
service from numerous, contrary, and complementary perspectives.

Ethics in public service is the study of the nature of
morals and moral choices and the rules governing a profession that define
professional conduct (Bruce, 2001, p. xiii).

In answering these questions it becomes
remarkably clear that there are no absolutes.

Nor is there any single school of
thought or theory to guide the inquiry.

Why do we try to understand ethics in
public service?

The answer is clear: because we intuitively know it makes a
difference.

NCOs and Values-Based Decision Making
In the Army of One, senior leaders look to the NCO Corps to embrace a value
system that develops character and to lead soldiers.

The Army depends on its
NCOs to create the environment and set the tempo for success in full-spectrum
operations.

Successful NCOs anticipate change, exploit every opportunity to meet
the units objectives and motivate their subordinates to higher levels of
productivity to achieve the units goals.

Successful sergeants promote Army
Values and take care of soldiers in the process.

In short, they are leaders with
values-based decision-making skills.

Studies in Group Leadership How Should We Decide Elements of
Sound Decision Making
Making decisions and solving problems takes much time and energy.

But most
groups allow little time and energy to selecting a decision-making model or to
evaluating the process once the decision has been reached or a solution
attempted.

Ideally, decisions arise as a result of judgments and reasoning to a
final conclusion, unfortunately, that is not always the case.

Problem solving
involves the organization and arrangement of several decisions so that they will
have some usefulness solving a problem.

Girls Night Out - Smokey Blues

Hi Bellas,

I'm back with another makeup look from my Caress Girls Night Out Event.

My friend Karla was wearing a sexy leopard print dress and I wanted to pick makeup that fit the occasion.

To me, animal print can often be a neutral color.

As a result, I went for a smokey eye (can't go wrong with that), but decided to mix it up.

Click here to see more!A lot of people who aren't used to color get a little scared when you try to apply something outside of the neutral category.

The key is to use a "safe" color, in this case silver, and place it on the lid so that it fades into your brighter color.

That way, the whole eye isn't too vibrant, but you can still add color in the middle and outer part of the lid.

I picked more of a royal blue tone so that it would be a bit more wearable.

I used the bright royal blue from my Best of Both World's Yaby Palette.

I also used a darker blue from my Barbie Stila palette as the outer v/contour color.

Karla was one of my last models in my chair.

I think I had about 15 minutes to do her makeup...not too shabby right?

It helps that I have most of my makeup in palettes...it makes for quick mixing and matching.

I loved how it came out...it really made her eyes pop, and I think the guys agreed because they couldn't keep their hands off her at the club, wink wink.

That's all for now, stay tuned for more makeup breakdowns from Caress Girls Night Out event!

The kit provides a convenient way to store and carry head and neck support pillows.

In addition, a user can regulate the desired firmness, thus allowing the pillows to be adjusted to the user's constantly changing needs.

Therefore, it is very important to know tips to prevent stroke from an early age and to know first aid if someone has a stroke. This is because in addition to causing death, stroke can also cause disability. In general, stroke is a condition where part of the brain is damaged.

Make sure the blood comes out. If you can't, you can press the fingers. In this way, the patient will be conscious in a period of about 10 minutes.

The government is currently discussing the Draft Government Regulation (RPP) on Salaries for State Civil Apparatus (ASN) or Civil Servants (PNS). In the RPP, it is stated that the new civil servant salary system is based on an income index. With the income index set out in the RPP, it is assumed that the income of the President of the Republic of Indonesia can reach Rp. 553 million. Then, is it natural for President Jokowi to have such an income? Public Service Observer from the University of Indonesia, Lina Miftahul Jannah, said that the current president's salary of only Rp. 62 million is considered too small. Moreover, the President's responsibility is enormous. According to Lina, it is only natural that the salaries of the President and Vice President are proposed to increase. "It's just that in the midst of the current conditions that civil servants have not increased their salaries since 2015, is that reasonable? If it is proposed to increase, I agree, only the amount if Rp 500 million is too drastic, it seems," said Lina fix to Liputan6.com


Toothbrush is the most important bath tool to remove dirt around the teeth so that dental health is maintained. However, using a toothbrush should not be careless, especially in choosing the toothbrush you use. And when you want to buy a toothbrush, you should pay attention to the code behind the packaging, don't let your toothbrush be made of pig bristles. Currently, a number of people are shocked by a toothbrush product that uses pig bristles. The use of the product refers to the writing in English, namely bristles on the packaging. There is one secret code which means your toothbrush is made of boar bristles. The Or** * brand toothbrush is clearly made of bristles. The product packaging clearly explains the product, "Super thin Bristles". Responding to this case, the Chairman of the Medan City MUI, Muhammad Hatta said, if it is true that the toothbrush is made of pig bristles, the toothbrush is haram. "In Al Surah Al Maidah verse 3, it is explained that derivatives from pigs are haram. We will investigate this prohibition, whether it is really from sea urchins or not," said Muhammad Hatta. However, the Medan City Health Service through the Secretary of the North Sumatra Health Office, Afwan Lubis, is not sure about the existence of a toothbrush made of pig bristles. He added that laboratory tests were carried out if there were reports from the public metropolis regarding the boar bristle toothbrush. If it really contains sea urchins, then it should not be circulated because there are elements that are not halal. "I don't think it's possible. But what about it? We can comment if there is a laboratory test first. Currently there is no laboratory test," Afwan said, as reported by Tribunnews.com


When one family member has a stroke, usually other family members take the initiative to provide first aid. For example, by pricking the tips of the patient's fingers with a needle to check whether he is numb or not. Then, make an impromptu family meeting to discuss the stroke patient to be taken to which hospital and which doctor. The initiative, said Prof. Dr. Dr. Mohammad Hasan Machfoed, Sp.S(K), MS is not important! This was revealed in the Grand Kalbe Academia talk show with the theme Indonesian Neurologist Forum in Jakarta, Saturday (4/2) yesterday. Mohammad Hasan said that as soon as one of the family members had a stroke, they should immediately be taken to a specialist. Don't think too much, hold a family meeting, call an elder sibling, blah-blah-blah. That makes things even worse. Stoke could not be helped by his own family members. You see, when someone has a stroke, the brain suddenly lacks oxygen and within 10 minutes can damage the entire brain. After those 10 minutes, he experienced a panombra area that is between life and death. At that time, we have to give proper help and only a specialist can do it. Giving wrong help can result in necrosis or cell death in all body tissues, said Mohammad Hassan to tabloidbintang.com. Stroke strikes at an unexpected time. It brings progressive change. Very fast. The very rapid changes, said Mohammad Hassan, are caused by the brain being suddenly deprived of oxygen. Due to lack of oxygen, the brain swells. If not treated quickly, the swelling causes the patient to die. The process to death will be very fast if he falls or experiences blockages in the airways. Importantly, family members must be careful to detect strange symptoms early on. For example, waking up talking sluggish. Or suddenly experience paralysis of one side. Or his mental state changes, forgets easily, told Mohammad Hassan. Another thing that should be considered by the family is at what time the patient had a stroke. For example, at 6 am. You must move quickly (take him to the doctor) in less than four hours after 6 am. Mohammad Hassan emphasized that four hours after the stroke occurred was the most crucial time. He must get the right help and fast. If you are in Jakarta, you family unit can take the patient to Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, for example. There, it allows patients to undergo thrombolysis (the process of destroying blood clots-red) which allows stroke survivors to recover. The condition is that you have to get help in less than four hours, he continued. Mohammad Hassan assessed that Indonesian people's awareness of the dangers of stroke has improved. However, it must continue to be improved considering that stroke is still the deadliest disease in this country. Therefore, the Chairperson of the Indonesian Neurologist Association welcomed the 2017 Grand Kalbe Academia. Director of PT Kalbe Farma Michael Buyung Nugroho added, the Indonesian Neurologist Forum talked about Neurological Disorder. Neurological disorders can lead to disability and even death. We want to contribute more in building competence for both senior and junior neurology doctors to better understand neurological disorders. Considering this disease has an impact on decreasing patient productivity and the quality of life of the patient's family.

(CNN)When Melissa Atkins Wardy, author of "Redefining Girly" and a passionate advocate for fighting gender stereotypes, heard from a frustrated mom on Facebook, she knew she needed to do something. So she shared the mom's story. In a blog post, Wardy told how the mom, Veronica of Richland, Washington, wanted to buy "Big Hero 6" fabric to make pillows for her two children. The problem? The fabric didn't include two of the heroes from the movie: the female characters, Honey Lemon and GoGo. So Veronica decided to send an email to Springs Creative, the company that makes the fabric, saying that as a woman and an engineer, she was offended. She got an answer from the company but it didn't help. Girl empowerment ads like GoldieBlox: Do they work? A licensing manager for Springs Creative responded that the company has found that boys don't want girl characters on their things. "Eeeww girls! Yuck! Haha," the licensing manager wrote. It will come as no surprise that Veronica was none too pleased to receive that response. "I was frustrated and disgusted that a manager, and a female manager too, would laugh off my initial contact with the company. It was unprofessional. So I responded," Veronica told CNN. She asked that we not use her last name, in order to maintain her privacy. In an email back to the company, Veronica wrote, "By eliminating the women in your fabric design, you are telling boys that it's OK to think girls are yucky, unworthy and less than a boy. "You are also telling girls they are unworthy, unwanted and that it's un-cool to be smart and confident." What happened next shows that parents, aided by social media outrage, may have more leverage to combat gender stereotyping in our culture than they realize. And the "Big Hero 6" example -- along with a similar recent one involving TOMS, the shoes retailer -- suggests that manufacturers may be finally getting it, too. First, the rest of the story about Springs Creative and the "Big Hero" fabric: After sharing Veronica's story with her readers and her 6,700 Twitter followers, Wardy encouraged people to give Springs Creative a piece of their mind. She also invited them to tweet their own stories with the hashtag #IncludeTheGirls. Women responded in droves, pointing out how Black Widow, the female character in the popular "Avengers" superhero movie franchise, is often excluded from merchandise and how cereal boxes rarely include female characters. "This sends the direct message to both boys and girls that females are forgettable, unimportant, undesirable. What a horrible thing to teach our children!" said Wardy, who is also the founder and chief executive officer of Pigtail Pals & Ballcap Buddies, a company that makes empowering clothing for boys and girls. "The prevailing theory is, 1. boys are the default audience, and 2. boys won't want an item with a girl on it," Wardy said. "Yet, I talk with thousands of parents every week who say otherwise." Why trying to make our kids happy can backfire . Those parents are clearly making their voices heard. Because not too long after Veronica received her initial response from Springs Creative, Wardy said she got a call from the company, asking her to post a statement from Springs Creative on her site. "It is sometimes difficult to hear negative feedback but the message was clear and we intend to act upon your message," the statement read. "Most importantly, Springs Creative does not condone sexism in any shape or form and does not design products to shine a negative light on females OR males." The company said it would be talking with Disney "immediately" about additional designs for "Big Hero 6" that would incorporate all the characters. "We would never intentionally offend any segment of the population. We are a strong company with positive morals and values and we respect and see both genders equally," said the statement. Springs Creative told CNN it would have no further comment. Veronica said she was surprised the company responded so quickly. "I do not believe this would have happened without the Pigtail Pals and Ballcap Buddies community also raising their voices." The real March Madness: When will women's teams get equal buzz? Around the same time, Wardy heard from another follower about an issue with TOMS and wrote about it on her site. On the normally progressive retailer's Web landing page for kids were photos that some parents felt played into gender stereotypes. One photo suggested "Playtime Approved" shoes for boys, and the other, this one on a pink background, included the caption "Little Ladies: adorn their feet for spring." "Really, TOMS? Girls are not ornaments we adorn. Girls play, too!" Wardy wrote on her Facebook page. Two hours later, Wardy received a comment from TOMS on her Facebook page, saying that the company completely agrees and that the wording has been changed to now say "new arrivals for kids." "We're really grateful whenever our community brings something like this to our attention," said Doug Piwinski, senior vice president, global marketing and communications for TOMS. "Perhaps as much or more than any other brand, I mean we really listen to our customers in our community." So, here's my question: Are the two speedy responses from companies after women spoke out on social media more a sign that companies are truly getting it about gender stereotypes and girl and boy empowerment, or more a sign of the power of parents? Or are they a mixture of both? How to Super Bowl #LikeAGirl . Wardy said there's no doubt that companies are in business to protect their bottom line, and that will always be a motivator. But she said these back-to-back incidents show what can happen when parents make it clear they won't buy products from companies that sell gender stereotypes. " 'Be not silent' is my mantra. Speak up!" Wardy said. "The success with Springs Creative and TOMS and other wins we've had in the past is an example of the power of parents (moms and dads) and children's advocates aggregating their voices to say, 'Enough is enough.' " Veronica said it's a sign of the power of parents becoming "more aware, reactive and using social media to make their voices heard by companies that market to children." She added, "One voice can be dismissed; the hailstorm of voices collectively cannot be ignored so easily." It is clear, from these two examples, that parents using their voices online and with their wallets can encourage companies to change. There's no question that raising awareness about stereotypes helps, said Wardy. "If companies aren't paying attention by now, they most certainly should be." Pink, princess-y and sexy too soon .

(CNN)Would you want a TV program about your family history to include details of a distant, long-deceased relative who had owned slaves? Seriously, who in their right mind would want to be tarnished by the sins of an ancestor you had no connection to other than a remote bloodline? I wouldn't, and neither did Ben Affleck, who lobbied producers of a PBS show, "Finding Your Roots," to remove any reference to his great-great-great grandfather Benjamin Cole, a Georgia slave owner in the mid-1800's, in an episode that looked at Affleck's family history. (Affleck revealed Cole's name Wednesday night.) Here's the thing that might surprise many, given the tendency of the media to exploit any potentially scandalous material: The show's producer, Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr., apparently acquiesced to Affleck's request, because when the episode aired in October 2014, there was no mention of the star's slave-owning ancestor. Affleck's attempt to alter the content of the program only publicly became known a few days ago after WikiLeaks released hacked emails revealing an exchange between Gates and Sony Pictures chief Michael Lynton. When Gates asked how he should respond to Affleck's request to delete the material, Lynton responded, "all things being equal, I would definitely take it out." And on Tuesday, Affleck, via Facebook, admitted that he had urged Gates to excise any reference to his slave-owning relative. Affleck explained, "I didn't want any television show about my family to include a guy who owned slaves. I was embarrassed. The very thought left a bad taste in my mouth." Now Gates has publicly denied that he made his decision about the content of the program based on Affleck's request, but it seems likely that he did. After all, Affleck noted as much in his Facebook post, writing that Gates "agreed with me on the slave owner but made other choices I disagreed with." And three other celebrities profiled on the series last season were shown to have been related to slave owners. So it's unlikely that it was simply happenstance that it left out any reference to Affleck's familial slave ownership connection. In any event, PBS has launched an internal review to determine if the show violated its own editorial standards. Whatever the results of the review, Affleck and Gates did the right thing. Let's be clear: "Finding Your Roots" is not an investigative news show; it's an entertainment program. In fact, as Affleck noted, much of the material is provided directly by the celebrity being profiled. It's not "60 Minutes" but more in the nature of a sophisticated profile of celebrities, using their marquee names to attract viewers. There's not even a hint that Affleck strong-armed the producers or made any type of threats against them if they included the information. In the emails between Gates and Lynton, which they presumably believed at the time were confidential and would remain so, there was no mention of undue pressure by Affleck. Instead, Gates simply noted that Affleck  "asked us to edit out something." After the emails were revealed, Gates issued a statement, saying, "Ultimately, I maintain editorial control on all of my projects and, with my producers, decide what will make for the most compelling program. In the case of Mr. Affleck we focused on what we felt were the most interesting aspects of his ancestry -- including a Revolutionary War ancestor, a third great-grandfather who was an occult enthusiast, and his mother who marched for civil rights during the Freedom Summer of 1964." My view would be different if Affleck had a history of uttering racist remarks or engaging in racist conduct. That would have made the information truly newsworthy. But instead we have a man known for championing progressive causes, which I'm sure made him even more acutely sensitive that some on the right might possibly use this information against him in the future. Perhaps that's what Affleck meant in his Facebook post when he wrote that this information made him feel "vulnerable." Affleck has noted that he regrets asking PBS to not include information about his "distant relative."  That's a nice gesture, but it was not needed. Affleck had every right to ask for the information about a long-deceased distant relative to be left out of the show. And PBS had the choice to include it or leave it out. I applaud PBS for doing the right thing at a time when media outlets rarely show any restraint on the lives of people in the public eye.

Drunk Bragging Trump Staffer Started Russian Collusion Investigation

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes is going to have a bad day. He s been under the assumption, like many of us, that the Christopher Steele-dossier was what prompted the Russia investigation so he s been lashing out at the Department of Justice and the FBI in order to protect Trump. As it happens, the dossier is not what started the investigation, according to documents obtained by the New York Times.Former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos was drunk in a wine bar when he revealed knowledge of Russian opposition research on Hillary Clinton.On top of that, Papadopoulos wasn t just a covfefe boy for Trump, as his administration has alleged. He had a much larger role, but none so damning as being a drunken fool in a wine bar. Coffee boys  don t help to arrange a New York meeting between Trump and President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi of Egypt two months before the election. It was known before that the former aide set up meetings with world leaders for Trump, but team Trump ran with him being merely a coffee boy.In May 2016, Papadopoulos revealed to Australian diplomat Alexander Downer that Russian officials were shopping around possible dirt on then-Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. Exactly how much Mr. Papadopoulos said that night at the Kensington Wine Rooms with the Australian, Alexander Downer, is unclear,  the report states.  But two months later, when leaked Democratic emails began appearing online, Australian officials passed the information about Mr. Papadopoulos to their American counterparts, according to four current and former American and foreign officials with direct knowledge of the Australians  role. Papadopoulos pleaded guilty to lying to the F.B.I. and is now a cooperating witness with Special Counsel Robert Mueller s team.This isn t a presidency.

Pope Francis Just Called Out Donald Trump During His Christmas Speech

Pope Francis used his annual Christmas Day message to rebuke Donald Trump without even mentioning his name. The Pope delivered his message just days after members of the United Nations condemned Trump s move to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. The Pontiff prayed on Monday for the  peaceful coexistence of two states within mutually agreed and internationally recognized borders. We see Jesus in the children of the Middle East who continue to suffer because of growing tensions between Israelis and Palestinians,  Francis said.  On this festive day, let us ask the Lord for peace for Jerusalem and for all the Holy Land. Let us pray that the will to resume dialogue may prevail between the parties and that a negotiated solution can finally be reached. The Pope went on to plead for acceptance of refugees who have been forced from their homes, and that is an issue Trump continues to fight against. Francis used Jesus for which there was  no place in the inn  as an analogy. Today, as the winds of war are blowing in our world and an outdated model of development continues to produce human, societal and environmental decline, Christmas invites us to focus on the sign of the Child and to recognize him in the faces of little children, especially those for whom, like Jesus,  there is no place in the inn,  he said. Jesus knows well the pain of not being welcomed and how hard it is not to have a place to lay one s head,  he added.  May our hearts not be closed as they were in the homes of Bethlehem. The Pope said that Mary and Joseph were immigrants who struggled to find a safe place to stay in Bethlehem. They had to leave their people, their home, and their land,  Francis said.  This was no comfortable or easy journey for a young couple about to have a child.   At heart, they were full of hope and expectation because of the child about to be born; yet their steps were weighed down by the uncertainties and dangers that attend those who have to leave their home behind. So many other footsteps are hidden in the footsteps of Joseph and Mary,  Francis said Sunday. We see the tracks of entire families forced to set out in our own day. We see the tracks of millions of persons who do not choose to go away, but driven from their land, leave behind their dear ones. Amen to that.Photo by Christopher Furlong/Getty Images.

Racist Alabama Cops Brutalize Black Boy While He Is In Handcuffs (GRAPHIC IMAGES)

The number of cases of cops brutalizing and killing people of color seems to see no end. Now, we have another case that needs to be shared far and wide. An Alabama woman by the name of Angela Williams shared a graphic photo of her son, lying in a hospital bed with a beaten and fractured face, on Facebook. It needs to be shared far and wide, because this is unacceptable.It is unclear why Williams  son was in police custody or what sort of altercation resulted in his arrest, but when you see the photo you will realize that these details matter not. Cops are not supposed to beat and brutalize those in their custody. In the post you are about to see, Ms. Williams expresses her hope that the cops had their body cameras on while they were beating her son, but I think we all know that there will be some kind of convenient  malfunction  to explain away the lack of existence of dash or body camera footage of what was clearly a brutal beating. Hell, it could even be described as attempted murder. Something tells me that this young man will never be the same. Without further ado, here is what Troy, Alabama s finest decided was appropriate treatment of Angela Williams  son:No matter what the perceived crime of this young man might be, this is completely unacceptable. The cops who did this need to rot in jail for a long, long time   but what you wanna bet they get a paid vacation while the force  investigates  itself, only to have the officers returned to duty posthaste?This, folks, is why we say BLACK LIVES MATTER. No way in hell would this have happened if Angela Williams  son had been white. Please share far and wide, and stay tuned to Addicting Info for further updates.Featured image via David McNew/Stringer/Getty Images

Fresh Off The Golf Course, Trump Lashes Out At FBI Deputy Director And James Comey

Donald Trump spent a good portion of his day at his golf club, marking the 84th day he s done so since taking the oath of office. It must have been a bad game because just after that, Trump lashed out at FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe on Twitter following a report saying McCabe plans to retire in a few months. The report follows McCabe s testimony in front of congressional committees this week, as well as mounting criticism from Republicans regarding the Russia probe.So, naturally, Trump attacked McCabe with a lie. How can FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, the man in charge, along with leakin  James Comey, of the Phony Hillary Clinton investigation (including her 33,000 illegally deleted emails) be given $700,000 for wife s campaign by Clinton Puppets during investigation?  Trump tweeted.How can FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, the man in charge, along with leakin  James Comey, of the Phony Hillary Clinton investigation (including her 33,000 illegally deleted emails) be given $700,000 for wife s campaign by Clinton Puppets during investigation?

McCabe spent most of his career in the fight against terrorism and now he s being attacked by the so-called president. Trump has been fact-checked before on his claim of his wife receiving $700,000 for her campaign.Politifact noted in late July that Trump s  tweet about Andrew McCabe is a significant distortion of the facts. And the implication that McCabe got Clinton off as a political favor doesn t make much sense when we look at the evidence. His July tweet was rated  mostly false.  But Trump repeats these lies because he knows his supporters will believe them without bothering to Google. It s still a lie, though.Photo by Zach Gibson   Pool/Getty Images.

Trump Said Some INSANELY Racist Stuff Inside The Oval Office, And Witnesses Back It Up

In the wake of yet another court decision that derailed Donald Trump s plan to bar Muslims from entering the United States, the New York Times published a report on Saturday morning detailing the president s frustration at not getting his way   and how far back that frustration goes.According to the article, back in June, Trump stomped into the Oval Office, furious about the state of the travel ban, which he thought would be implemented and fully in place by then. Instead, he fumed, visas had already been issued to immigrants at such a rate that his  friends were calling to say he looked like a fool  after making his broad pronouncements.It was then that Trump began reading from a document that a top advisor, noted white supremacist Stephen Miller, had handed him just before the meeting with his Cabinet. The page listed how many visas had been issued this year, and included 2,500 from Afghanistan (a country not on the travel ban), 15,000 from Haiti (also not included), and 40,000 from Nigeria (sensing a pattern yet?), and Trump expressed his dismay at each.According to witnesses in the room who spoke to the Times on condition of anonymity, and who were interviewed along with three dozen others for the article, Trump called out each country for its faults as he read: Afghanistan was a  terrorist haven,  the people of Nigeria would  never go back to their huts once they saw the glory of America, and immigrants from Haiti  all have AIDS. Despite the extensive research done by the newspaper, the White House of course denies that any such language was used.But given Trump s racist history and his advisor Stephen Miller s blatant white nationalism, it would be no surprise if a Freedom of Information Act request turned up that the document in question had the statements printed inline as commentary for the president to punctuate his anger with. It was Miller, after all, who was responsible for the  American Carnage  speech that Trump delivered at his inauguration.This racist is a menace to America, and he doesn t represent anything that this country stands for. Let s hope that more indictments from Robert Mueller are on their way as we speak.Featured image via Chris Kleponis/Pool/Getty Images
