Involving students and keeping them engaged. Concentrating on reading and word pronunciation as well as proper grammar as I find that as being difficult for most students to comprehend. I am a professional (yes, a bit older than most teachers) with plans to stay in Vietnam. I am not a backpacker looking at working a year and then moving on to “see the world”. I have done that. I have lived in Africa, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand and now Vietnam for 2 years since I was three years old. So I have been fortunate to be introduced to lovely people and many different cultures. I want to learn as much as your students want to learn.
Currently teaching primary school (3rd graders, English, Math, Science) for the past two years as a full-time job. Have also tutored after hours for a 34-year-old logistics manager and a team of four support personnel, ranging in ages of 24 - 27. Concentrating mostly on business English. Prior to teaching, I was in the hotel business for 30 years.
Business professional; 38 years in the hotel business. Currently teaching primary school, 3rd graders; Math, Science and English for the past two years as well as private tutoring for the past year and a half. Business English has been more my focus with my private tutoring.
Casual, engaging students, Keeping materials interesting. Style often depends on the age group and number of students tutoring at one time. Like to keep lessons interesting for the students so they stay involved and ask questions so we can carry on a dialogue.

title: Coconut tart

text:
This is a vintage favourite – reminding me very much of baking with my grandmother. This recipe will make one family sized tart or 12 tartlets. A gorgeous variation is to spread a couple of tablespoons of lime marmalade over the base then grate over the finely grated zest of 1 lime. This lime layer replaces the raspberry jam layer.
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees c (fan)
Start by making the pastry. Place the flour into the bowl of a food processor, add the butter and blitz until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Beat together the egg yolk and the water then with the motor running, pour the liquid in a steady stream and keep the machine going until the dough forms into a ball. Wrap in paper or a beeswax wrap and place in the fridge to rest for at least half an hour. Alternatively – rub in by hand.
To make the filling simply place all the ingredients (apart from the jam) into a roomy mixing bowl and whisk together with a hand held whisk.
Roll out the dough and line the tin then you can do one of two things. Either bake blind for 12-15 minutes having lined the tin with paper and baking beans. Trim the edges of the pastry and move onto the filling. OR
Line the flan tin, trim the pastry (don’t leave it overhanging as you would if baking blind) and prick the bottom all over with a fork. Freeze the pastry in the tin for at least 15 minutes. Place a baking sheet into the oven when you switch it on to preheat.
Take the now frozen pastry and tin from the freezer, carefully ease the pastry shell from the tin by pushing up the loose base. Take away the metal base then pop the pastry shell back into the fluted rim, resting on a piece of baking paper or baking parchment on a cold baking sheet. Press the pastry down gently with the finger tips then spread the base a very thin layer of jam and top off with the coconut filling.
Immediately (don’t forget the pastry will thaw very quickly) transfer the filled pastry shell from the cold baking sheet onto the preheated sheet. Pop straight into the oven and bake for 25 minutes until risen and golden.
Allow to cool on a wire rack – slide away the baking sheet and paper. When cool place the palm of the hand under the pastry (or a smaller size of loose bottom from another tin), slide the tin up the arm like a bracelet then transfer to a serving plate.
Alternatively, if the pastry case has been baked blind, spread with jam, fill with the coconut mixture and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden.
This tart will keep up to one week in a tin.

For brothers Parameswaran and Haridas of Mangalamkunnu, popularly known as Mangalamkunnu brothers, elephants are family pets. At present they are the largest individual owners of elephants in Kerala, next only to Guruvayoor Devaswom. The Mangalamkunnu brothers stepped in to the world of elephants in 1978 when they bought an elephant from Uttar Pradesh, which they named as Ayyappankutty. Since then, they have been purchasing an elephant once in every two years and their family Mangalamkunnu Tharavadu gradually came to be known as Aana Tharavadu (Elephant Home).
Earlier, the elephants were bought from the northeastern states of India like Bihar and Assam. But presently buying elephants have become a costly affair especially after some restrictions were imposed in the trade of elephants. The Mangalamkunnu family doesn't want to see elephants as a source of income. It is their love for this giant peace-loving animal that prompts them to stay in the field. Because of their love for the elephants they are against deputing their jumbos for heavy works like pulling of logs.
Then how do they find money to support them? It's from the processions during festival times they find the money. Today elephants like Ayyappan, Karnan and Ganapathy of Mangalamkunnu are the most sought-after jumbos during the festival season. The money earned from festival processions compensates for the expenses incurred on the elephants during the whole year.
The fame of Mangalamkunnu elephants has crossed the borders and reached even other states of India, so much so that, they were the main attraction during the Miss Universe Competition held in Bengaluru (Bangalore) in 1996. Not just this, some of them have even made their presence on the silver screen and television ads. Tourists interested in elephant rides can hire elephants from Mangalamkunnu Elephant Home.

Congratulations to the five members of Smart Growth America’s Local Leaders Council who have been appointed to President Obama’s new Task Force on Climate Preparedness and Resilience, a group of 26 state, local and tribal leaders from around the country charged with advising the Administration on how the federal government can respond to the needs of communities dealing with the impacts of climate change.
Task Force members were chosen based on their leadership in building climate preparedness and resilience in their communities through policies and projects designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve stormwater management and achieve other climate-related objectives.
Appointees from Smart Growth America’s Local Leaders Council include Mayor George Heartwell of Grand Rapids, MI; Mayor Ralph Becker of Salt Lake City, UT; Mayor James Brainard of Carmel, IN; Commissioner Kristin Jacobs of Broward County, FL; and Mayor Madeline Rogero of Knoxville, TN.
Mayor Brainard of Carmel, IN—one of four Republicans on the Task Force—pointed out that resilience to climate change is more than an environmental issue. It is also an issue of protecting the nation’s communities.
“For our cities, this is about the need to address global warming’s impact on our electrical grids, our emergency response in the event of natural disasters,” said Mayor Brainard in a recent editorial in the Indianapolis Star. “This is not only an issue of cleaning up our air and water. It’s a matter of quality of life.”
Members of the Task Force will have the opportunity to use their experiences to inform the Administration’s priorities around climate change and resiliency. The Task Force convened for the first time last week in Washington, DC, and will meet with President Obama three more times in the upcoming months.

(Reuters) – Here’s what you need to know about the coronavirus right now:
Opening up immunisation, India’s vaccine exports to dwindle
India opened up its coronavirus inoculation programme to people above 45 on Thursday as infections surge, which will delay vaccine exports from the world’s biggest maker of the drug. The government has previously said that people over 45 can register for inoculation from April 1.
India has already decided to delay big vaccine exports for now, including to the WHO-backed global vaccine alliance COVAX. It is currently using the AstraZeneca vaccine and a shot developed at home by Bharat Biotech, which is struggling to step up supplies.
Osaka leg of Olympics torch relay should be cancelled, governor says
Osaka prefectural governor Hirofumi Yoshimura said on Thursday the Olympic torch relay in the city of Osaka should be cancelled amid a sharp rise in COVID-19 cases, Kyodo News reported. The torch relay for the Tokyo Olympics is scheduled to go through Osaka prefecture from April 13-14.
The prefecture, which emerged from a COVID-19 state of emergency a month ago, reported 599 new cases on Wednesday, a jump from 432 on Tuesday. “We will ask people to refrain from going out for non-urgent matters,” Kyodo quoted Yoshimura as telling reporters on Thursday regarding COVID-19 countermeasures.
Americas coronavirus surge could be worse
Countries in the Americas could see a worse surge in coronavirus cases than the previous surge last year, with Brazil, Uruguay and Cuba already suffering more, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) said on Wednesday. Director Carissa Etienne said the end of the Southern Hemisphere summer, following holidays where people grouped together and spread cases, had prompted spikes.
Vaccine supply “continues to be our greatest challenge,” said Etienne, with the organisation scouring the globe for more supplies and asking countries to hand over surpluses. There have been “far too many examples” of vaccine nationalism, she said. “The current system is hard-wired for inequity and that is not acceptable,” Etienne said.
PNG minister raps Facebook for COVID misinformation
Papua New Guinea’s health minister said misinformation shared on Facebook was the biggest threat to its COVID-19 vaccine plans, saying the social media giant must take steps to stop it.
Conspiracy theories about COVID-19 and the efficacy of vaccines are so entrenched that even frontline health workers are hesitant to take the shot, Jelta Wong said at a talk with an Australian think tank that was streamed online on Thursday.
Arthritis drug reduces potency of vaccine
The first dose of the COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer/BioNTech and from AstraZeneca Plc produces only weak immune responses in patients being treated with the widely-used rheumatoid arthritis drug infliximab, researchers have found. The responses improved after the second dose, which suggests patients on infliximab should continue to practice enhanced physical distancing and not delay their second shot, researchers said.
Even after two doses, they found that a small subset of patients failed to mount an antibody response. The researchers said they suspect their findings will apply to other drugs in the class known as TNF inhibitors, including Abbvie’s Humira and Amgen’s Enbrel, two of the world’s top-selling medicines.

title: Half property sales fall fees guarantee protects homeward legal clients

text:
Buyers and sellers alike are at risk of their planned property purchase or sale falling through in England and Wales.
Research by independent home buyer Quick Move Now has revealed that almost half (49.8 percent) of all house sales in the last quarter of 2018 fell through before the transaction could be completed.
Costs fully protected
While that is shattering news for the individual parties concerned, the good news for all Homeward Legal clients is that their costs will be fully protected when a transaction fails to complete - for any reason.
We offer a no-completion protection that ensures you will not lose a penny in those circumstances.
According to Quick Move Now, the number of failed transactions in the last three months of last year was up from less than a third (28.3 percent) in the previous three months. The number of failed sales over the whole of 2018 stands at 30.6 percent, up 1 percent on 2017.
Typically the main reasons for a transaction falling through are either a buyer pulling out of the purchase or the seller accepting a higher offer before completion. Other issues included an adverse survey result and the chain collapsing. Only 3 percent of sales fell through because the buyer wanted to reduce their offer.
Degree of market consistency
Danny Luke, managing director of Quick Move Now, said: "It was a difficult year for the property market. Continued political uncertainty, and knock-on financial concerns, undoubtedly took a toll on market confidence.
"This is particularly evident in the steep rise in the number of sales falling through before completion towards the end of the year.
"The annual fall through rate figure of 30.6% is reassuring, however, and shows a certain degree of market consistency."

Check out our film review of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 which releases this Friday, May 5th.
U.S. Release date: May 5, 2017
Running Time: 136 min.
Cast: Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, featuring Vin Diesel as Groot, Bradley Cooper as Rocket, Michael Rooker, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff, Elizabeth Debicki, Chris Sullivan, Sean Gunn, Tommy Flanagan, Laura Haddock, with Sylvester Stallone, and Kurt Russell
Director: James Gunn
Producer: Kevin Feige
Executive Producers: Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Jonathan Schwartz, Nikolas Korda, Stan Lee
Written by: James Gunn
Set to the all-new sonic backdrop of Awesome Mixtape #2, Marvel Studios’ “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” continues the team’s adventures as they traverse the outer reaches of the cosmos. The Guardians must fight to keep their newfound family together as they unravel the mystery of Peter Quill’s true parentage. Old foes become new allies and fan-favorite characters from the classic comics will come to our heroes’ aid as the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to expand. “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” blasts into theaters on May 5, 2017.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is one of those rare examples where the sequel holds up just as well as the original.
I gasped, I laughed, I cried throughout the film. It truly is a film that is at its core – fun. It was such a pleasant ride for audiences, and one that is sure to appease fans of the comics. One aspect that I loved about the film that I wasn’t anticipating was the emotional depth the film held. I kept thinking, “Wow! Was the original this emotional?” Each character offered something to the collective whole that just worked. It’s a film about a band of misfits, all perfectly imperfect and banded together.
The humor was perfectly on point, yet never felt forced. Baby Groot stole the show and I couldn’t be more pleased with the direction they took this character. My favorite moment from the film is a scene where Baby Groot tries repeatedly to grab an item for Rocket and fails miserably – and adorably.
STAY DURING THE FINAL CREDITS!! I can’t stress this enough. You won’t be disappointed. Aside from having fun graphics throughout, there are a total of FIVE additional scenes sprinkled throughout the credits. I won’t give away any spoilers on what these scenes are, but they are all different and all very fun.
Watch Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 in theaters nationwide on Friday, May 5th!


title: Aviation undercutting eus new renewables rules

text:
The ink is barely dry on the EU’s revised renewable energy policy and already it is under threat from the aviation sector. That sector’s UN aviation agency, ICAO, known for its “spectacular lack of transparency”, is once more having a closed door meeting which risks clearing the way for the type of bad biofuels the EU has spent a decade trying to get rid of. And, on top of that, they are seeking to add “lower carbon” aviation fossil fuels as an option to cut aviation emissions.
Receive them directly in your inbox. Delivered once a week.
ICAO and the aviation sector have been looking to biofuels to reverse their massive and continuing emissions growth. The agency has agreed that biofuels should be an option to comply with CORSIA, the global offsetting measure that aims to limit aviation emissions to 2020 levels.
But this also means that ICAO has to develop rules for what biofuels can be credited and by how much – ie, how much of an emissions reduction each biofuel delivers. This is where this week’s meeting of ICAO’s environment committee in Montreal plays a significant role. It will decide rules for biofuels based on technical work done over the last three years. The meeting will also decide the main work areas for the next three years.
Last year, 12 themes for sustainability criteria were proposed but only two were adopted by ICAO’s governing council. The two criteria adopted include: no deforestation after 2009 and a 10% greenhouse gas savings threshold – including emissions from indirect land-use change or ILUC. (ILUC refers to the indirect effect of increasing the demand for agricultural land – in this case for biofuels – and displacing the existing production to expand the agricultural frontier to natural habitats, mainly forest and grassland, causing emissions from deforestation.) The other 10 themes were not approved, covering important issues such as human rights, land rights, environmental protection, food security, water protection, etc.
The ICAO council asked the environment committee to reexamine whether the excluded criteria were truly required and that will be debated now. The European and progressive members of the committee should stay strong and require the full set of criteria to be adopted.
Another important issue on the agenda is the rules on counting the GHG emissions. As we know from available documents, the GHG savings criteria will include emissions from induced (or indirect) land-use change (ILUC). The effect can only be accurately accounted for using models. What sort of values, and under what assumption the modelling is done, is going to impact how much GHG savings they are credited with providing under CORSIA.
Europe’s Renewable Energy Directive is predicated on the basis that the ILUC effect significantly increases the climate impact of biofuels to the point where many of them are worse than the fossil fuels they replaced. In 2015, the EU decided to cap the use of crop biofuels. Now EU countries need to use food-based biofuels to meet renewable energy targets, but following the adoption of a new law that comes into force in 2021, EU member states will no longer be forced to use food-based biofuels. Meanwhile the eligibility of “high indirect land-use change-risk biofuels” towards meeting renewables targets will be phased out by 2030. This could mean no more palm oil in our tanks as palm expansion is associated with significant deforestation. Models also show that palm oil has on average the highest ILUC emissions. The US already restricts the use of palm oil under its renewable fuels law.
However, if ICAO fails to adopt rules which mirror the direction taken by those in the EU, it will provide a backdoor to the use of food-based biofuels and palm oil in the aviation sector. Already three airlines have joined forces for a “Love Palm Oil” campaign, and we don’t know how many more are eagerly waiting to burn these crops. But if ILUC is not considered or is underestimated, there is a danger that ICAO will give its stamp of approval for the use of palm oil, a crop which every year is responsible for 1-2% of global warming. Overall the focus should be on advanced fuels, as crop-based biofuels cannot be considered a long-term decarbonisation option for aviation.
The council of ICAO also recently gave in to a Saudi push, backed by the US, to include lower carbon aviation fuels as an option for complying with CORSIA. These are traditional fossil fuels produced in a manner which marginally reduces their climate impact. This week states will push for rules to expedite the crediting of such fuels.
All of this information is based on previous leaks and what we know are the planned ‘next steps’ for the committee. The meetings of ICAO and its environment committee are notoriously secret affairs where even the few observers allowed in are restricted on what they can say. One of the world’s biggest emitters is regulated almost entirely in secret.
What is clear for us is that the EU needs to retain its control of setting policy in Europe while fighting for the best possible criteria at international level. It must fight to ensure that rulemaking is founded on reality.

title: Hyundai kia and gore pioneer advances in fuel cell technology

text:
Hyundai Motor Company, Kia Corporation, and WL Gore & Associates have joined forces to develop an innovative polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) for hydrogen fuel cell systems.
This groundbreaking collaboration, formalized at the Mabuk Eco-Friendly R&D Center in Korea, marks a significant step towards enhancing the performance and sustainability of fuel cell-powered electric commercial vehicles.
At the core of this joint venture lies the development of a cutting-edge PEM, a vital component in hydrogen fuel cells. PEMs facilitate the movement of protons between electrodes, preventing the direct fusion of hydrogen and oxygen gases. This process generates an electric current that powers the vehicle. The success of fuel cell systems hinges on the performance and durability of this technology.
With a collaborative history spanning over 15 years, Hyundai Motor, Kia, and Gore bring a wealth of experience to the table. This partnership aims to leverage their collective expertise in developing an optimal fuel cell system tailored for commercial vehicles, emphasizing improvements in performance and sustainability.
Delaware-based Gore, an advanced materials specialist, brings a unique set of skills to the collaboration, focusing on PEM, catalytic membranes, and MEA (membrane electrode assembly) technology. The integration of Gore’s PEM expertise with Hyundai Motor and Kia’s fuel cell proficiency aims to revolutionize fuel cells not only for passenger vehicles but also for commercial applications and other sectors.
This partnership aligns with Hyundai Motor Group’s longstanding dedication to hydrogen, exemplified by the creation of the HTWO commercial brand in 2020. The group continues to actively develop its involvement in fuel cells across various sectors, spanning passenger and commercial vehicles, navigation, aerospace, power generation, and beyond.
As Hyundai, Kia, and Gore embark on this pioneering journey, the automotive industry anticipates significant advancements in fuel cell technology, paving the way for a cleaner, greener future.


title: 105801 custom menus and access privileges

text:
stefangs Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 Hi all, In my solution, I have scripted most functions so that the standard menu commands are not needed, or rather, shouldn't be used. As such, I have created a custom menu set that removes all commands that aren't necessary. But now I can go in and select the Standard FileMaker commands from the Tools menu to bring up a standard menu set anyway. Is that just because I have FMA rather FMP and does that mean anyone with FMA can change to the default menus as well? I thought the menu set would somehow be tied to the privilege set, but there doesn't seem to be a way to select one. What am I missing here? Thanks,
Wim Decorte Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 You can do it because you're logged in with full access. Your users wouldn't be (hopefully) so they would get the custom menu you assign.
stefangs Posted February 14, 2020 Author Posted February 14, 2020 I see, so there's no connection between a custom menu set and a particular set of access privileges. That explains it, then. Thanks!
Fitch Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 You can specify a default menu set for the file, in the custom menus dialog, and you can specify a default menu set for each layout. Other than that, you would control custom menu loading via scripts, where you can check a user's privileges and assign a menu set accordingly. But as Wim noted, you can't lock a full access user out of the Tools menu.
stefangs Posted February 17, 2020 Author Posted February 17, 2020 Just thinking... I have a global variable 'debug' in my files that, when set to 1, does or does not a bunch of things while I develop. I can then just reset this to 0 to see how the file behaves to a normal user. I would be great to have the custom menu set look at this variable and when it's 1 it would always install the standard menu set. I find it distracting to have FM always revert to the custom menu set while developing. Is there some other way to prohibit this?
Wim Decorte Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 In your OnOpen script, detect whether you are logged in with Full Access and use the "install menu set" for the default menu set and toggle the option to use as file default. 1
stefangs Posted February 18, 2020 Author Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) Thanks, Wim! That did it. Edited February 20, 2020 by stefangs tested

Leaving the Hospital
Almost all parathyroid patients are sent home within two hours of their parathyroid operation. You will be sent home when you are ready to go and after one or more of the doctors has said goodbye and has reviewed your photo with you and discussed the operation. So keep your photo out because the doctors will want to chat about it with you. NOTE, almost everybody gets a photo, but some do not for various technical reasons.
The nurse will call our Hospital-Hotel Limo for you and they will transport you back to your hotel. It is important for you to stay in one of our 5 partner hotels to have this service. If you valet parked, your nurse will call the valet and get the car brought around for you. By rule, all patients are taken out to their car in a wheelchair, so get prepared for one more ride!
You can read more about how and when you will be discharged from the hospital in the yellow “Day of Surgery” section of the app. If you have heart troubles, bleeding problems, or required a larger operation, you may be kept overnight in the hospital, but this is very uncommon. Only about one person every 2 months will need to spend the night—this is about 1 in every 700-800 people. However, safety always trumps convenience.
Time for a nap!
Almost everybody wants to take a nap when they leave the hospital and typically this is a 2-hour nap. When you awake from the nap you should feel pretty good. Almost everybody goes out for dinner the night of surgery, but if your operation was later in the day, you may just want a light dinner and relax. We have lots more about this in the yellow “Day of Surgery” section of the app.
Don’t check out of the hotel in the morning.
If you are staying at one of our hotels you MAY have the opportunity for a late check out. Tell the hotel you are having surgery with the Norman Parathyroid Center at the Hospital for Endocrine Surgery and ask for a late checkout (they MIGHT give you until 2:00 or even 3:00 pm if they are not booked solid for new arrivals that day).
Hospital Sprinter Van Transportation
If you plan to use the hospital Shuttle Van provided by our 5 partner hotels, make sure the hotel knows, and make sure you tell your nurses at the hospital. The shuttle leaves the hospital on the hour, last one being at 4:00 pm.

title: Prayer lingo

text:
Many places seem to have their own ‘lingo’. I remember the first time I visited One Mission Society. The sign outside the door said, OMS (One Mission Society). The sign inside the door pointed to a training for ECC (Every Community for Christ) where there were several CMF’s (Church Multiplication Facilitator)and ACMF’s (Assistant Church Multiplication Facilitator) present. Someone stopped in during the break and mentioned they were from MFM (Men for Missions). I felt so lost!
Perhaps, prayer is making you feel that way. Earlier today I had a conversation about prayer language with a young woman I’m mentoring in intercession. She shared with me that she just assumed it all was some type of ‘lingo’ and had no real meaning. She was quite surprised to learn each phrase came from Scripture and further intrigued to learn there is a definite biblical meaning within each phrase.
The Bible has quite a bit to say about prayer. For those who pray all the time, sometimes it may be easy to forget we have to learn to pray.
Prayer is talking to Almighty God – the Alpha and the Omega. That alone is enough to give one pause. Have you ever struggled to know what to pray?
Perhaps, you’re intimidated by those who pray so eloquently it sounds like they’re praying from a poetry book and you may be feeling like you’re praying from the Cat in the Hat!
Have you ever wondered how to address God? The first time we have a conversation with an authority, and yes, God is definitely our authority, it can be awkward deciding how to address them. You may even be wondering how someone else seems to be so at ease in prayer. Just remember the better you get to know someone the easier it is to talk with them. Getting to know God takes time.
Reading the Bible is like stepping into the heart of God. It’s a place we can go to really get to know him; to know what he says and to read about how he feels about things. You can even find out what he thinks about you! The more you learn about him, the easier it is to come to him in prayer.
In the Bible you can learn how to pray, what to pray for, and even read about so many of his answers to prayer.
That’s one of the really incredible things about being one of God’s intercessors – we get a front row seat to seeing God glorified as he answers prayer!
It’s ok. You can do it. Jesus started with, “Our Father.”

title: The model diet

text:
What do models really eat? Have you ever wondered how they get their slim, long, and slender figure? Models travel around the world, wearing designed brands while gracing runways in foreign cities. It makes you curious what they eat in their day to day life.
Have you ever wondered why models are so skinny? Designers believe clothes look better on a skinny frame. Whether you agree or not, models are draped in designer and fawned over by fashion lovers and the average individual. Models stay fit all year, and here is how:
A Model’s Breakfast
The key to the model diet is high protein. For breakfast, a typical model could eat scrambled eggs, avocado, oatmeal, or granola and yogurt. A protein smoothie or smoothie bowl is also a go-to for many models.
A Model Lunch
When lunchtime comes around for a model, you can find a piece of fish with a salad or a piece of chicken with a salad on the side on their plate. It’s important to get the greens and the lean protein in early in the day.
Dinner can be similar to lunch, a protein, and green on the side. Chicken breast and broccoli or salmon and asparagus are a great go-to. Soup is also a favorite, veggie soup or chicken noodle soup are great dinner options. For seafood lovers, sushi is popular.
Models drink a lot of water, black coffee with cream or skim milk and more water! They generally stay away from sugary sodas and juices, unless it’s all-natural.
You can’t skip over the snacks; most models are usually reaching for a bag of chips or popcorn. A model snack includes berries, nuts, peanut butter, protein shakes, hummus and veggies, and energy bars. Some of the popular fruits include grapefruit and apples.


title: Indistinguishability

text:
One of the properties of a secure encryption system is that it provides indistinguishability. There are two particular kinds of indistinguishability that are relevant here: IND-CPA, or indistinguishability under a chosen plaintext attack, and IND-CCA, or indistinguishability under a chosen ciphertext attack.
In IND-CPA, the attacker sends a pair of messages that are the same length to the server to be encrypted. The server chooses one of the messages, encrypts it, and sends back the ciphertext. The attacker should not be able to determine which message was encrypted. This property maintains confidentiality. It’s useful to consider the requirement that messages be the same length: the length of an encrypted message is related to the length of the original message in most ciphers. That is, encrypting a message does not hide its length.
In IND-CCA, the attacker submits ciphertexts of its own choosing that the server decrypts. After some observations, the attacker submits two challenge ciphertexts and the server picks one at random to decrypt and send back to the attacker. The attacker should not be able to distinguish which ciphertext the plaintext corresponds to. This attack is often seen in symmetric security as a padding oracle attack, in which the encryption scheme used does not include a message authentication code (such as AES-CBC without an HMAC), and can allow the attacker to recover the key used for encryption. There are two variants of IND-CCA; the first (IND-CCA1) means that an attacker cannot submit new ciphertexts after the challenge is sent. The second (IND-CCA2, or adaptive CCA) allows the attacker to continue submitting ciphertexts after the challenge. This may seem like a trivial difference, but a system that is IND-CCA1 secure but not IND-CCA2 secure enables the padding oracle attack.

The event received enthusiastic participation from the medical fraternity with more than 150 leading doctors across Mumbai attending the event.
In a post-pandemic world, the importance of a healthy lifestyle and role played by good nutrition in ensuring a strong immunity is well accepted. Globally, people have become more conscious of living a better lifestyle, reducing stress and taking a proactive health approach towards staying healthy.
Globally, the role of vitamins and supplements as preventive therapy is a well-accepted norm, however, in India they are consumed mostly as a part of treatment. COVID-19 changed this perception. Nowadays, the highly connected and globally aware consumers are putting their health and wellbeing first, especially holistic wellbeing that encompasses physical, mental and a work-life balance. They are seeking answers on online blogs, fitness and wellness apps and from their doctors.
Post COVID-19, there has been a change in Indian consumer mindset, Meyer- Vitabiotics, a pioneer in Vitamin research organized a gathering of stalwarts, from different industries, including medicine, sports, TV, films, media, entertainment, IT, banking and bureaucrats to discuss “Science of healthy living”.
The event witnessed representation from company’s top leadership led by Mr. Rohit Shelatkar, the Vice-President and Director of Vitabiotics UK along with Indian Board of Directors – Ms. Uma Kalekar and Mr. Rajesh Tawade.
The evening began with an insightful session by Dr. Ameet Patki on “New Advances in Male Fertility & Nutritional Benefits” elaborating on the causes of the rising cases of infertility in young Indian males and how maintaining optimal nutritional status is integral part of the therapy.
The much awaited panel discussion on “Science of Healthy Living” was initiated and moderated by Mr.Rohit Shelatkar. He posed questions to the eminent personalities from the medical fraternity on the panel, such as Dr. Shashank Joshi, Dr. Nandita Palshetkar, Dr. Hrishikesh Pai, Dr. Ameet Patki, Dr. Santosh Karmarkar and Dr. Anish Desai.
The key topics of discussion amongst doctors was on how nutritional needs change during different life stages, metabolic disorders, and impact of lifestyle disorders on reproductive health and pregnancy.
The special invitees at the event included other well-known personalities like legendary West Indies cricketer Sir Gordon Greenidge, Dr.P.S Pasricha (Ex-Director General of Police – Maharashtra), Indian cricketer – Venkatesh Iyer,Vasant Jadhav (Deputy Commissioner – State intelligence Dept.), Ashish Ambasta (Thought Leader – Life Science Technology Industry), Bollywood celebrities like, Addinath Kothare,Amruta Khanvilkar, Dr. Nishigandha Wad, and Tripat Singh – 77 year old model & influencer were also present at the event.

title: The cognizibility of tokens

text:
Tokens are digital assets that are created and managed on a blockchain. They can be used for a variety of purposes, including as a form of currency, for crowdfunding, and for creating decentralized applications. One of the key features of tokens is their Recognizability, which refers to their ability to be recognized and understood as valuable digital assets. In this blog post, we'll explore the concept of Recognizability and why it's important when it comes to tokens.
What is Recognizability?Recognizability is the ability of an asset to be recognized and understood as valuable. In the case of tokens, recognizability refers to the fact that they are widely recognized as valuable digital assets that can be traded, sold, or used for various purposes. The recognizability of tokens is important because it helps to establish their value and legitimacy in the market.
Types of TokensThere are several types of tokens, each with their own unique features and functions. Some common types of tokens include:
Utility tokens - these are tokens that are used to access or purchase goods or services within a specific ecosystem.
Security tokens - these are tokens that represent ownership in a company or asset, and can be used for fundraising or investment purposes.
Governance tokens - these are tokens that give holders the right to vote on decisions within a decentralized organization or ecosystem.
Why Cognizibility MattersThe cognizibility of tokens is important because it helps to establish their value and legitimacy in the market. If a token is widely recognized as valuable and useful, it is more likely to be adopted and used by individuals and organizations. Cognizibility also helps to establish trust in the market, as individuals can have confidence in the value and utility of the tokens they are investing in or using.
In conclusion, the cognizibility of tokens is an important concept to understand when it comes to digital assets. The ability of a token to be recognized and understood as valuable helps to establish trust and confidence in the market, and is an important factor in the adoption and use of tokens for various purposes. Understanding the different types of tokens and their unique features can also help individuals and organizations to make informed decisions about their investments and use of digital assets.

Finally, Vitamix added connectivity this holiday season so we splurged and bought a Vitamix from their new Ascent line, the A3500 Brushed Stainless Steel blender and the accompanying Perfect Blend Smart Scale and Recipe app.
The Ascent series of blenders are the same high-performance precision blenders you would expect from Vitamix, with the addition of wireless connectivity and a system of Self-Detect containers and accessories to help you measure ingredients and prepare recipes with ease. By using the smart containers, your Vitamix knows exactly what size vessel you are using and adjusts the blend settings accordingly, giving you a perfect mix everytime.
Our Ascent Series 3500 Vitamix Smart System Blender came with a standard 64-ounce Smart Detect Container that will work for most cooking jobs. We also added a smaller 48-ounce container which is great for smoothies and the Perfect Blend Smart Scale.
Our primary motivation for buying our Vitamix was to start making more healthy fruit smoothies. Making a smoothie yourself isn’t really that hard, but it is difficult to get the balance right of liquids, ice, fruit and greens to make something that has just that right consistency that you want to enjoy morning after morning.
There are hundreds of recipes in books and online to help, but when you are following them, they call for ingredients like “200 grams of spinach,” or “half a cup of banana.” How do you figure out what 200 grams of spinach or half a cup of banana actually is? Do you get a home scale and weigh the spinach out everytime? Or do you smash a banana into a dry measuring cup? Experienced chefs probably can just eyeball it but we don’t have those skills.
That’s where the Perfect Scale comes in. Just find your recipe on the Perfect Blend app, connect the scale to your phone, and the app guides you to put in just the right amount of each ingredient in the connected container without guessing. And if you put too much, the app adjusts the recipe accordingly, including figuring out the difference in calories. Once you have all your ingredients, the app sends the perfect blending cycle to the Vitamix via Bluetooth.
The Vitamix and Perfect Scale were so easy to use, we were able to make our very first smoothie and get it on video in just one take.
There are dozens of other recipes that come with the Vitamix app. So far we have only used it for smoothies, but we look forward to trying many more, especially the soups as the weather gets colder. Vitamix has also added many other new containers with the Self-Detect technology, ranging from blender bowls to blender cups, so you can make meals and store and serve them in the same container.
The app also has some other great features – you can adjust the serving size so you can make the exact amount you want, you can add items in your pantry so it will suggest recipes for what you have on hand, and it has a shopping list so you can get just what you need at the store for what you are creating. On iOS, it also syncs with Apple Health to keep an accurate count of your calories for the meals you make.
While our first experience with our smart Vitamix and the Perfect Blend Scale was flawless, it hasn’t always been perfect since. We have had occasional problems connecting with the Bluetooth both between the scale and the Vitamix itself. Generally we can address them by cycling power on the scale or the blender and re-calibrating. After a few frustrating errors and app updates, it does seem to have stabilized and it works more consistently now.
In addition to the Ascent 3500 we bought, Vitamix now offers a full range of connected and smart Vitamix blenders in more price ranges. If you are shopping for a connected Vitamix, make sure it includes the built-in wireless technology. It was difficult for us to find ours and at first we weren’t sure if we bought the right one.
We are looking forward to many more delicious meals with our smart Vitamix and trying out new and exciting recipes from the Vitamix app, and sharing them with here or in future videos.

title: Taking stem to the next level for northern utah kids

text:
Science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) isn’t the realm of just boys any longer. According to girlswhocode.com 74% of middle school girls express an interest in engineering, science, and math. Dozens of Northern Utah businesses were encouraging all kids to explore STEM subjects as they hosted several busloads of sixth and seventh graders on November 2nd at the Box Elder County Fairgrounds. The message they delivered was that there are a wide array of career options for boys and girls who are interested in going into STEM fields.
Organized by the Boys and Girls Club of Northern Utah, Box Elder County and the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food, kids could explore robotics, electricity generators, launch paper rockets and had the chance to see and feel a dissected frog. They also got to explore the field of Artificial Intelligence through a presentation by Bill Bourgeous and engineering manager with Intertape Polymer Group of Tremonton. Bourgeous educated audience members regarding the “four industrial revolutions,” saying that we now live in the age of automation. “A common belief is that manufacturing jobs are disappearing in the United States,” Bourgeous said. “The truth is that it’s strong, but it’s becoming automated. We want to make sure these kids are aware of some of the good jobs that are available right here in their community.”
“The STEM fair is designed to get kids into these fields, right here in Box Elder County and Northern Utah,” said Jenny Schulze, Chief of Operations and Community Programming for the Boys & Girls Club of Northern Utah. She wanted to make kids aware of opportunities close by. The motivation behind the event is to demonstrate that they don’t really require a four-year degree to break into these fields. “Sometimes they can get a certificate while they’re still in high school,” she said. “This is about helping them realize that they can have a future in this if they’re interested.”
Schulze says that with advanced mobile phones and other innovation, a lot of kids started into the STEM fields without realizing it. “This new generation has grown up with technology so much, they don’t even realize that they can turn that into a job.”

See "Endoscopic Ultrasound Elastography for the Pancreas in Korea: A Preliminary Single Center Study" by Tae Hee Lee, Young Deok Cho, Sang-Woo Cha, et al., on page [Related article:] 172-177
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is not only useful for providing excellent images for detection and staging of pancreatic cancer; it also provides guidance for fine needle aspiration (FNA) and biopsies detected during a standard procedure. Overall accuracy of EUS-FNA can be considered excellent, with sensitivities between 80% and 85%, and specificities close to 100%. However, differentiation between pancreatic cancer and focal pancreatitis remains a challenge based only on B-mode imaging, particularly in cases of advanced chronic pancreatitis. EUS-FNA and/or biopsy are technically demanding and multiple punctures of the lesions can be necessary to obtain sufficient tissue for cytohistologic assessment. EUS-FNA can also be associated with false negative results, mainly in patients with solid pancreatic masses with the underlying diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis. Furthermore, EUS and EUS-FNA are associated with a small, but not insignificant, morbidity.
Therefore, new methods allowing better characterization of lesions evaluated by EUS are essential to avoid unnecessary FNA and/or biopsies, to allow more accurate characterization of lesions before the puncture, and possibly to reduce complication rates. One of these new available methods is elastography.1,2
In the present study, Lee et al.3 first reported the performance of EUS elastography on the pancreas in Korean subjects with normal pancreas and pancreatic cancer. Although the sample size was relatively small, the present study provides evidence supporting EUS elastography as a useful tool for the evaluation of pancreatic cancer.
The possible clinical usefulness of this new technique lies in the field of discrimination between benign inflammatory lesions and malignant tumors. Several studies have attempted to establish EUS-imaging criteria, but despite the high resolution of EUS, overall accuracy in this setting is not higher than 75%. On the other hand, overall accuracy of EUS elastography in the differential diagnosis of solid pancreatic lesions was reported with sensitivities between 91% and 100%, and specificities between 65% and 94%.4-8 However, interpretation is not straightforward because the lesions are not colored homogeneously and steadily throughout the procedure. These limitations affect interobserver agreement and can lead to different clinical findings, particularly when differentiating between chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer. As such, qualitative EUS elastography is now considered to be obsolete. Quantitative EUS elastography has emerged as a more objective technique than qualitative EUS elastography because it enables numerical measurements of tissue stiffness. Still, many technical issues can explain the disappointing results in terms of specificity, such as size inequality between the lesion and the reference area, deep position of the target relative to the transducer, degree of transducer compression and angulation.
A recent prospective study reported that the diagnostic utility of quantitative EUS elastography for discriminating pancreatic masses was modest,9 suggesting that the technique should only be used to supplement EUS-FNA rather than to replace it. EUS elastography can be helpful in decision making in the appropriate clinical context for every individual patient. Pancreatic cancers can be very heterogeneous tumors, with adjacent neoplastic areas, necrotic regions and inflammatory tissue. This heterogeneity accounts for inaccurate results of EUS-FNA particularly in routine clinical settings in which on-site cytology is unavailable. In this respect, EUS elastography should guide EUS-FNA, and can indicate to the physician where the neoplastic cells are most likely to be found.
EUS elastography, both qualitative and quantitative, is an emerging technique, with the capability to differentiate fibrotic or inflammatory tissue from malignant lesions. This new methodology has proven to be useful in the differential diagnosis of solid pancreatic masses and lymph nodes, but also in the evaluation of patients with suspected chronic pancreatitis. However, further research is needed to completely define the place of this technique in routine clinical work and also to determine future indications.
