Scientific Sessions
Session 01: Hypertension
Hypertension is the cause where the force of the blood against the artery wall is too high. Hypertension (HTN) is otherwise known as High Blood Pressure (HBP). This is a common problem found in most of the adults. Nowadays, hypertension is seen in youngsters . There are various reasons for hypertension. There is no particular symptom we can identify for hypertension but when the blood pressure range is too high it affects the body severely. There are two types of high blood pressure as Primary (essential) High Blood Pressure and Secondary High Blood Pressure. High Blood Pressure causes many problems in human body as heart diseases, kidney diseases, obesity and other factors. The main causes for hypertension can be listed as excess salt in diet, alcohol use, smoking and unbalanced diet.
Session 02: Clinical Evaluation
The hypertensive people will never be aware of their elevated level of blood pressure until the pressure reaches a peak level. Thus, constant monitoring of the blood pressure is required. Adults above 25 age group should have a constant check-up of their blood pressure levels. The hypertensive people go through various tests to find out their blood pressure levels. Initially, normal screening is done to check the blood pressure level then the patient's previous medical history is referred. If the patient is hypertensive then they undergo a physical examination. After which the person is checked whether he has any risk of Cardiovascular Diseases.
Session 03: Cardiovascular Diseases and Types
One of the strongest muscle in the human body is the heart which is just the size of a fist. In general, the heart is a pump that supplies blood to the entire human body. The average heart beat per minute is 70 times and this rate can double during exercise or during extreme emotions. This heart is vulnerable to breakdowns and failures. This heart failure leads to numerous diseases together known as Cardiovascular diseases. Some of the CVD are coronary heart disease, rheumatic heart disease, hypertensive heart disease, congenital heart disease and inflammatory heart disease.
Session 04: Cerebrovascular Diseases
Cerebro refers to the brain and vascular refers to arteries and veins. Cerebrovascular means blood flow to the brain. Cerebrovascular disease is a combination of defects in two places as brain and blood. Cerebrovascular diseases include all disorders that affect the brain temporarily or permanently. Cerebrovascular diseases include stroke, stenosis, deep vein thrombosis, atherosclerosis, transient ischemic attack (TIA) and aneurysm. A stroke occurs commonly with little or no warning. The most common form of stroke is ischemic stroke and the dreadful stroke is known as hemorrhagic stroke. TIA is a temporary event and it doesn't cause any permanent damage to the body. When there is a build-up of fat and cholesterol in the arteries it leads to plaque formation. This plague is known as atherosclerosis and when this blockage is severe it is known as stenosis. An aneurysm is an effect which develops because of HTN or atherosclerosis in which the blood vessel to the brain weakens which causes bulging up of the blood vessel in that area.
Session 05: Target Organ Damage
Target organ damage usually refers to the damage caused to the organs wherever the circulatory system feeds. The main target organs are kidney, heart, brain, and eyes. Hypertension causes early changes in organ systems as left ventricular hypertrophy, proteinuria, renal failure, retinopathy and vascular dementia. There are many steps involved in the act of target organ damage as platelet activation, endothelial activation, increased thermogenesis, changes in the renin-aldosterone-angiotensin system (RAAS) and collagen turnover.
Session 06: Aldosteronism
Aldosteronism is a hormonal disorder that leads to hypertension. The excessive secretion of the hormone aldosterone disturbs the balance of sodium, potassium, and water in the blood. The production of excess secretion of aldosterone in the adrenal gland causes the loss of potassium and retaining of sodium alone. The excess sodium takes in water which increases blood volume and blood pressure. This can be cured by taking proper medications, change of lifestyles and surgery when required. The decrease in potassium level leads to weakness in the body, excess secretion of the urine and also muscle cramps. The important cause for aldosteronism is Conn's syndrome. In children and young adults, there is a type of primary aldosteronism called glucocorticoid-remediable aldosteronism which causes high blood pressure. It is confirmed as aldosteronism if the High blood pressure is associated with low potassium levels in the screening.
Session 07: Aortic Coarctation
Aortic coarctation means narrowing of the aorta which is the large blood vessel that leaves from the heart. When narrowing occurs the heart must pump the blood very fast for it to flow through the narrowed part of the aorta. This is a condition from childbirth (congenital) and it leads to other heart defects. This case doesn't have symptoms in most cases and not known until adulthood. The important symptom seen in adulthood is High Blood Pressure. A rare case of aortic coarctation if severe is heart failure in babies.
Session 08: High Blood Pressure in Adults
The adult can be categorized as young age adults (age: 18-35), middle age adults (age: 36-55) and old age adults (age: 55 years and above). All the three groups are prone to hypertension. Nowadays hypertension has become one of the major factors for causing death. Globally the prevalence rate of high blood pressure as of reported by WHO for age group above 25 is 40% as of 2008 and it tends to increase every year. Men are more prone to Hypertension than women in almost all areas. However, in Africa, the statistics are equally distributed. Managing this High Blood Pressure range has become a difficult task. The understanding of blood pressure chart and reading can reduce the risk of Hypertension. Maintaining a proper dietary control after a certain age limit also reduces the risk.
Session 09: Anti-hypertensive Therapy
In order to reduce the morbidity and mortality due to hypertensive cases, the anti-hypertensive therapy is followed for almost 40 years. The anti-hypertensive treatment is less cost-effective. The benefits of treating different stages of hypertension are well established. The benefits of therapy will be greater for younger individuals with any range of elevated blood pressure than older individuals. It is because the vascular complications will be more prone to older individuals. The effect of the drug can be shown clearly in younger individuals with mild hypertension and absolutely low risk of developing cardiovascular diseases risks. Strokes, Coronary artery diseases, Congestive cardiac failure and Renal failure tend to reduce with the use of drugs. The commonly used drugs for the therapy are diuretics, calcium chloride blockers, ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor antagonists, adrenergic receptor antagonists, vasodilators, renin inhibitors, aldosterone receptor antagonists, alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonists, and endothelin receptor blockers.
Session 10: Renin-angiotensin System
At the entrance of the glomeruli of the kidney, there are certain sets of specialized cells that encircle the arterioles which secrete an enzyme called Renin into the blood. Renin secreting cells composing of juxtaglomerular apparatus are sensitive to change in blood pressure. When the blood flow to the kidneys reduce the secretion of renin is high. This may lead from loss of sodium and water or by narrowing of the renal artery. During this process renin acts as a catalyst in the formation of a plasma protein called angiotensinogen into a decapeptide (consisting of 10 amino acids) called as Angiotensin I. Another enzyme in the serum converts this decapeptide enzyme into an octapeptide enzyme called Angiotensin II that stimulates the secretion of Aldosterone that in turn stimulates salt and water reabsorption by the kidneys and also constricts the small arteries. ACE inhibitors which block the formation of Angiotensin II are used for the treatment of high blood pressure.
Session 11: Non-pharmacologic Intervention
Non-pharmacological interventions mainly focus on weight reduction, discontinuation of tobacco, restriction of caffeine, salt restriction, moderation of alcohol consumption, reduction of cholesterol intake and exercise which helps to reduce the elevated blood pressure and improve the efficacy of pharmacological agents. For further treatment of hypertension in future Non-pharmacologic therapy is stressed on. This therapy can be tried upon if the person is not prone to previous myocardial infarction or stroke, kidney disease, Diabetes mellitus, left ventricular hypertrophy and other CVD risks. Excess intake of salt, sodium, reduced intake of potassium, reduced intake of calcium, lower intake of magnesium, excess intake of fats are the main causes of hypertension as per the study. There is no surgical cure for hypertension but there can only be dietary control and medications. The psychological factors that increase blood pressure are, increase verbal confrontation, job stress, lying and decrease slow talk, pets, laughing, visual, scent therapy, biofeedback, and relaxation therapy.
Session 12: Hypertension in Patients with Comorbidities
Hypertensive patients tend to develop many other diseases in their body. Comorbidities included the combination of two or more diseases other than hypertension. These diseases include heart diseases, kidney diseases, diabetes mellitus and blood vessel diseases. Inclusive of all the major effects of hypertension is cardiovascular diseases and cerebrovascular diseases. The patients with diabetes and hypertension are insulin resistant. The complication of hypertension is mainly categorized under two as macrovascular and microvascular. There are various organizations working on the medications to be followed for hypertensive patients to reduce the effects of other diseases. These organizations work on statistics in order to identify the patient's adherence to the medications. There are certain guidelines provided by National Institute for Healthcare and Excellence to be followed for the comorbidities patients.
Session 13: Stress Management in Adults
In order to improve the everyday functioning of a person wide spectrum of techniques and psychotherapies are used for managing the stress, a person is undergoing. Usually, the term 'stress' has a negative impact thus stress management is referred to as 'eustress' which means helpful. Smoking and consumption of alcohol increase stress which in turn increases the blood pressure level. Stress in simple terms can be referred to as a persons physical and emotional effect towards change. There are both positive and negative sources of stress. Mostly stress refers to tending ourselves to a threatening situation. Stress is developed when we think demands are more than our coping abilities. Stress wouldn't allow us to take any decision properly. Stress can be managed by changing the situation, the way we think (cognitive restructuring) and by the way we respond. Meditation and mindfulness are the best practices for stress management.
Session 14: Hypertension and Nephrology
Some type of kidney diseases can cause High blood pressure. But, in most cases, it is High Blood Pressure that causes Kidney diseases. High blood pressure speeds up the loss of kidney in patients with kidney disorders. A simple blood test will give all the details about how much the kidney is damaged because of Hypertension. Nephrology includes acute kidney failure, chronic kidney failure, acute care nephrology, kidney stones, pediatric kidney disorders, polycystic kidney disorders but not limited to these alone. In patients with acute cases, there are transplantations of kidney or dialysis is advised. The transfer of organs is necessary when the kidney diseases have caused the failure of kidneys completely. If the patient is not able to undergo transplantation then they are advised to undergo comprehensive renal replacement therapy known as dialysis. The doctors use many kinds of medication to help the people with hypertension and other allied diseases.
Session 15: Hypertension Stages
The systolic and diastolic pressures are measured using a device known as Sphygmomanometer. In general, a person is said to have High Blood Pressure if the systolic pressure is greater than or equal to 140mm Hg and diastolic pressure greater than or equal to 90mm Hg. It is necessary to maintain a lower pressure because for every 20mm Hg of systolic pressure raises above 115 and for every 10mm Hg of diastolic pressure raises above 75. The different Hypertensive stages are normal, pre-hypertension, stage-1, and stage-2. In case of normal the systolic pressure remains below 120mm Hg and diastolic pressure remains below 80mm Hg and no treatment is required but regular check-up is needed so that the blood pressure is not raised. Pre-hypertension is a case where the systolic pressure is between 120-139m Hg and diastolic pressure is between 80-89mm Hg and it is a stage where the risk of developing hypertension is high. Stage-1, is where the systolic pressure is between 140-159mm Hg and the diastolic pressure is between 90-99mm Hg, the medications are followed as per pre-hypertension but also the use of drugs is advised in order to reduce the risk of developing heart diseases. Stage-2 is the severe case where the systolic pressure is 160mm Hg or higher and the diastolic pressure is 100mm Hg or higher. A very high dosage level of drugs is used in order to bring the blood pressure down in this case.
Session 16: Acute Hypertension
Acute hypertension - when the blood pressure is greater than 180/120mm Hg. This is classified as hypertension urgencies and hypertension emergencies. Hypertension urgency is not targeted organ damage oriented whereas hypertension emergency affects neurologic, aortic, renal, cardiac and pregnancy-related damages. As far now, hypertension emergency has been treated using intravenous antihypertensive pharmacotherapy based on the type of organ that is damaged. Hypertension urgency is also known as asymptomatic elevated blood pressure. Hypertensive emergency patients should be maintained in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) where they are closely monitored for signs of iatrogenic target organ damage. The neurologic damage in acute hypertension emergencies is acute stroke, seizure, and retinopathy. Depending on the presence or absence of the target organ damage acute hypertension is categorized as hypertensive emergency and hypertensive urgency.
Session 17: Hypertension and Diabetes
Microalbuminuria means a term to describe a moderate increase in the level of urine albumin. Normally, kidney filters albumin, if there is presence of albumin in urine then it a sign of the presence of kidney diseases. The term microalbuminuria is replaced as moderately increased albuminuria by KDIGO (Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes). The collection of conditions involving problems the body have with the hormone insulin is known as Diabetes. Diabetes occurs when the pancreas does not produce any insulin or produces very less insulin and when the body doesn't respond properly to insulin. Diabetes is of two types as type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes, the kind of diabetes seen in women during pregnancy is Gestational diabetes. People affected with type 1 diabetes will not be able to produce insulin themselves and insulin must be supplied externally in order to maintain the blood sugar level. Most common type of diabetes affecting people is type 2 diabetes, where the person is insulin resistant or find any problem in producing enough insulin. This increased blood sugar level increases the blood pressure level. Thus, maintaining the blood sugar level is very important. Medications include balancing with foods and drinks of choice based on the individual. Depending on the type of diabetes and the insulin level in the blood the supply and medications about external insulin supply are decided.
Session 18: Etiology and Risk Management
Blood pressure is determined by two factors as the amount of blood the heart pumps and the amount of resistance to blood flow in the arteries. The more the blood is pumped by the heart and narrower is the artery the blood pressure is increased. High Blood Pressure is caused based on many risk factors as age, race, family history, being overweight or obese, not being physically active, using tobacco, addition of excess sodium (salt) in the diet, decreased amount of potassium in the diet, little amount of Vitamin D in the diet, consuming too much alcohol, and high stress. This High Blood Pressure leads to many complications such as heart attack or stroke, aneurysm, heart failure, weekend or narrowed blood vessels in kidneys, thickened narrowed or torn blood vessels in the eyes, metabolic syndrome, and trouble with memory and understanding. Important medications followed to treat high blood pressure are Thiazide diuretics, beta blockers, ACE inhibitors, Angiotensin II receptor blockers, Calcium channel blockers, and Renin inhibitors. Additional medications used for treating are alpha blockers, alpha-beta blockers, Central-acting agents, Vasodilators, Aldosterone antagonists. Dietary control can help in managing the risk of High Blood Pressure and make the body suitable for taking in of medicine.
Session 19: Pulmonary Hypertension
Pulmonary Hypertension (PH), is complex and often misunderstood. Pulmonary Hypertension is high blood pressure in "lungs". Hypertension is the case of high blood pressure in the arteries all over the body than the normal level. This is measured using a blood pressure cuff. In Pulmonary Hypertension, the blood vessels, especially in the lungs, are affected. They become stiff, narrow or wider which leads to an increase in pressure on the right side of the heart. Early identification and treatment of PH are referred to in most cases. Since it is a complex and misunderstood diseases, researches are going on till date to improve the treatment plans for this disease.
Session 20: Sports Cardiology
In recent years the growth of athletes and sports person's has been increased more than double the rate. In general, we all know that the physical exercise reduces the risk of heart diseases and blood pressure. The desire of sports is raised in children and adult with heart disease. But, at the same situation vigorous physical exercise increases the risk of CV outcomes in competitive athletes and high outcome people (CAHOP). These CAHOP people are always at an intense risk of adverse CV outcomes and also inherited CV Diseases. A multidisciplinary team of trained coaches, trainers, physical therapists, primary care sports medicine physician and orthopedic surgeon functions with CAHOP people. In recent days the situation arose for a demand of CV specialist in the team. These members must have the essential skills necessary to practice sports cardiology. By seeing the demand a separate council has been started at American College of Cardiology - Sports and Exercise Council. In just a short span of 2 years, this council has reached up to 4000 members which show the increased interest of people in the emerging risks and innovations. This CV attack is also termed as sports-related sudden cardiac death. Commonly, sudden cardiac death is triggered by a malignant tachyarrhythmia such as ventricular fibrillation (VF) or ventricular tachycardia degenerating into VF. There is typically an underlying substrate for arrhythmia trigger, such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, channelopathies, arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, or coronary congenital abnormalities, among others.
Session 21: Neonatal Cardiology
Pediatricians are generally doctors, who deal with the new-born babies. Pediatric cardiologists are doctors who are specialized in treating heart disease related to new-born. Neonatology refers to a section of pediatrics that consists of the medical care of the new-born especially to those babies that are ill or in premature condition. In a hospital environment, a section called Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) are available for the special care of these babies. Neonatal Cardiology is also referred to as the Neonatal Cardiac Physiology. The neonatal cardiac physiology is unique, starting with the transition from fetal circulation and including differences in calcium metabolism and myocardial microscopic structure and function, it serves the pediatric surgeon well to have a sound understanding of these principles and how they, directly and indirectly, affect their plans and treatments. The pediatric surgeon is often called upon to treat conditions and complications associated with complex congenital heart diseases such as feeding difficulties, bowel perforations, and malrotation in heterotaxy syndromes. They may also act as general pediatricians, providing well new-born evaluation and care in the hospital where they are based. Some neonatologists, particularly those in academic settings, may follow infants for months or even years after hospital discharge to better assess the long-term effects of health problems early in life. Some neonatologists perform clinical and basic science research to further our understanding of this special population of patients.
Session 22: Neuro Cardiology
Neuro cardiology is the specialty that deals with the brain-heart connection. Neuro cardiology is the study of neurophysiological, neuroanatomical, and neurological aspects of cardiology. Neuro cardiology is also referred to as the pathophysiology of circulatory and nervous systems. A clear understanding of the baroreflex sensitivity and heart rate variability is required to understand the influence of autonomic nervous system on both heart and brain activity. Than, in the past, the recent history records a number of incidents of heart-brain connection. Cerebrovascular Accidents (CVAs) and Transient Ischemic Attack (TIAs) are frequently caused by cardiac arrhythmias or congestive heart failure. On the other hand, cerebrovascular dysfunction leads to electrocardiographic disorders and cardiac rhythm disturbances. The future of therapeutic approaches in neuro cardiology lies both in novel treatment as in applying scientific integrative medical ideas that consider concurrent chronic degenerative and vascular disorders and interactions of multiple drug and non-drug treatments. In many cases, heart disease patients show a high incidence of neurological symptoms including depression, epilepsy, and forgetfulness.

Little Things Matter
written by: Neera Singhi Choraria
Little things matter!! Yes, they do... The silence that soothes the soul..
The moon that lights up the dark night
The raindrops that touch the face
The onset of winter chills, winds swaying
those locks on my face... sipping steaming hot tea in terracotta cups. Little things matter, yes they do!! The maple tree shedding its leaves, butterflies kissing the flowers to suck nectar, flowers blooming, all seasons changing, sky changing colours, a rainbow after the rain, beauty
spread everywhere. These little things matter, yes they do!! The text that's read, but left unanswered
The call on the phone that wasn't replied to... the meetings left incomplete... the conversations left in between!! Little things matter, yes they do!! Those exchange of loving glances, unspoken words touching the soul,
A long drive to beat away the blues
Walking together at the sunset by the shore, that eagerness to explore... the little things matter; yes they do!! Those cherishing coffee dates, laughing at lame jokes, enjoying boring movies too... holding each other's hands.
A small close dance on Frank Sinatra's number, just feeling each other's breath
Celebrating moments with some pink
Sparkling wine... brings just about the biggest happiness. Little things matter; Yes they do!!!

LEBANON TWP. — George Eberle of Voorhees High is out to prove that last season was not a fluke.
"I don't think a lot of people expected the success that we had last year," said Eberle, a senior quarterback/punter. "We lost a few guys at skill positions but I think we have a good group coming back for this season."
A year ago, Eberle threw for just under 2,000 yards and 18 touchdowns and also ran for an additional 600 yards and eight more scores to help lead the Vikings to a 9-3 record and a berth in the NJSIAA North Jersey, Section 2, Group 3 state championship game at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford.
And while Voorhees suffered a 28-14 defeat to West Essex in the sectional final, the experience was invaluable for Eberle and his teammates.
"It was great to be able to reach the state final last year," said Eberle. "It was a tough loss but we know now what it takes to get to there."
Voorhees is under the direction of seventh-year head coach Bob Angstadt, who guided the Vikings to 6-4 marks in each of his first four seasons before a 3-7 campaign in 2016.
Last year saw Voorhees win seven of its first eight games en route to a nine-win campaign that landed the Vikings in their first state final since it won its only sectional title in 1995 when it captured the Central Jersey, Group 2 crown.
This season's team features seniors Charlie Eberle, Brian Bednarz, Ben Francis, Marshall Mills, Todd Jobson, Jacob Baytoff, James Bukowski, Jason Knoll, Christian Vernieri, Harrison Toth, Sam Huff, Austin Newarski, Tyler Rojas, Matt Santagata, Cooper Jones, Michael Gretta and Jon Ruben; juniors Collin Letters, Ben Hemberger, Anthony DeStafano, Andrew Hrabovecky, Sami Qumar-Eldeen, Joseph Scarcia, Alfred Schweikert, Freddy Clucas, Ben Aunger, Sean Caufield, Gage Bartley, Jack Evanko, Joe Delusant, Kyle Bryan and Zach Tong and sophomores Matthew Slowinski and Cole McGourty.
Voorhees will start its season with three straight home games played at Degnan Field in Lebanon Township. The 2018 campaign began with a non-conference meeting with Plainfield on Thursday, August 30.
The Vikings will then begin the Mid State 38 Mountain Division portion of their schedule with home contests against Gov. Livingston on Friday, Sept. 7, and Rahway on Friday, Sept. 14.
Voorhees will also play against divisional foes Somerville, Cranford and North Plainfield as well as non-divisional opponents Warren Hills, Delaware Valley and North Hunterdon.
Of course, most Voorhees fans have already circled the meeting at North Hunterdon on Oct. 26 as that is the annual Milk Can Game against Hunterdon County rivals.
North Hunterdon has won the last six meetings with Voorhees and owns a 29-12-1 edge against the Vikings.
"It's always one of the biggest games of the season but sometimes I think it gets overhyped," said Eberle. "We need to treat it like any other game and we have a full season to play before we even get to it."
In addition to his prowess at quarterback, Eberle is also an exceptional punter and has received walk-on offers from Rutgers, Temple, UConn and Penn State in the last year.
"It's been great to be able to visit some of these schools and get some offers," Eberle said. "I enjoy punting and work hard at it."
While Eberle isn't making any predictions for a return trip to a state final, the 5-11, 190-pound signal caller believes his team will be competitive this season.
"With the experience we got from last year and the way we've been practicing I think we'll be fine," said Eberle. "Everyone is on the same page and we're excited for this season."

Chapter 868 - Ling Xiao's Son!
Chapter 868: Ling Xiao's Son!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
"That is not possible!" exclaimed the Third Marshal.
The First Marshal and Second Marshal both had huge changes on their facial expressions. Ling Xiao giving them such news had stunned them greatly. Privately, in the Flying Dragon Special Forces, there were also 21-year-old operators who had entered imperial level. However, this result was gained through combining all the resources of the Federation and using a lot of secret techniques to nurture these people. However, doing this would leave them with a lot of post traumatic stress and would also deplete their potential as mecha operators at an early age, with no possibility of reaching any higher levels.
However, Ling Xiao was clearly not talking about those types of individuals. Someone who had surpassed his existence meant that Ling Xiao believed his son had a high chance of becoming a god-class operator. If that was the case, no matter how many people the Federation's military was to sacrifice, they still have to pay the price to save this future god-class operator. After all, the three marshals knew what an additional god-class operator meant for the Federation.
"Wait, I remember the research department had come up with a theory. They said that the son of a god-class operator could never advance to the imperial level…" The Third Marshal finally spoke out what he was thinking about.
At that moment, the reporters watching in the conference room were still surprised by Ling Xiao's public announcement that there was a 21 year-old imperial operator on Planet Haijiao. Now, they were all dumbfounded by the Third Marshal's new statement.
"Did the Third Marshal just say the son of a god-class operator?" Wen Qilian grabbed a reporter she didn't know and shouted excitedly.
"Yeah…" That reporter also excitedly nodded as his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Ling Xiao's son!" Every reporter had an answer in their minds. This was news that was enough to shake the entire Federation. If Ling Lan was to actually advance into god-level, then they would create a new record for the human race for being the first father and son god-class operators…
On the large screen, faced with the Third Marshal's questioning, Ling Xiao said proudly, "It wasn't possible in the past doesn't mean it's not possible now, and it also doesn't mean that it will not be possible in the future!"
"My son Ling Lan could advance to imperial operator proves that the supposed research results are false. Then, how could we confirm that the results of Planet Haijiao's battle and future prospects are true?! Using only one piece of intel to determine the lives of 280 million soldiers. I, Ling Xiao, do not agree!" Faced with the Third Marshal's pressing questions, Ling Xiao actively counterattacked him instead.
Ling Xiao's words had proved Ling Lan's identity. He was surprisingly Ling Xiao's son! All the female reporters excitedly covered their mouths and giggled uncontrollably. 'It turns out the son of the handsome man is also a handsome man!' Ling Xiao's statement of disagreement also ignited the hearts of the male reporters, so the entire conference room instantly erupted with noise everywhere.
Ling Xiao's provocation made the Third Marshal's face turned pale. A general in his faction quickly tried to chime into the conversation. "Even if Ling Lan is an imperial operator, how could one imperial operator and a few hundred top-level operators hold on for more than three weeks?"
After those words were spoken, all of the reporters in the conference room became livid. It was just as General Ling Xiao had said. They also couldn't prove that Ling Lan's group couldn't do it. What would happen if a miracle actually did happen and they actually held on for more than three weeks?
Hearing this, Ling Xiao instantly straighten his posture with confident expression on his face. He said without hesitation, "Just from the fact that he is my son. He can definitely perform a miracle."
"Haha, Ling Xiao, you're too naive. You're going to take the risk of sacrificing the lives of millions of soldiers just on the grounds of him being your son? How are you going to take responsibility if your son can't hold on for more than three weeks and in turn making us sacrifice millions of soldiers on Planet Haijiao for no reason?" Asked a general under the same faction as the Third Marshal who was of the same rank with Ling Xiao. Using the fact that he was an old fart to mock Ling Xiao needlessly.
"If I dared to say it, then I will also take full responsibility. If my son, Ling Lan, cannot hold on for more than three weeks. Then I, Ling Xiao, will automatically resign from my position as general!" Ling Xiao angrily said as he smashed his hand on the table.
"Ling Xiao!" The First Marshal shouted, "Don't be impulsive!"
"Marshal! When you appointed me as the General of the 23rd Division, I was anxious and asked you the question on how to be a qualified general. Back then, you only said one sentence, and that was to care for soldiers as if they were my own flesh and blood," Ling Xiao said with reddened eyes. "I have always done everything in that philosophy. Ling Lan is my son and at the same time, also my subordinate. If I abandoned my own son, then the idea of caring for the soldiers as if they were my own flesh and blood would be considered a joke, wouldn't it…"
"Thus, as long as there is a sliver of hope, I, Ling Xiao, will not give up on any soldier in our military. For that, even if I have to risk everything, I will not regret it!"
"General Ling Xiao really is a warm-hearted person. He doesn't hide his emotional side. I believe that he can definitely love his soldiers like he would his own flesh and blood." Wen Qilian, who was usually strong-willed, had tears dripping down her eyes uncontrollably. After seeing the generals heartlessly sacrifice a portion of their soldiers for a so-called victory, Ling Xiao's words had warmed the hearts of all the reporters. Ling Xiao wasn't logical, calm and wasn't like most generals that they knew, but they felt that it was a great thing that Ling Xiao had become a general.
Ling Xiao's words made the other generals go silent. Back then, when they became generals, they had also said the same statement. However, when did they forget it? Or perhaps they had never taken it into their hearts in the first place?
At that moment, Qi Yaoyang, who was silent, coughed loudly. He first looked at the Third Marshal with an apologetic expression and then said, "Just now I kept telling myself to look at the whole picture and not put my own feelings into it. However, General Ling Xiao's words have moved me. My unfilial son would rather fight with me and follow the leader he followed from his childhood to the 23rd Division. Although this made me very angry, no matter how unfilial he was, he is still my son. This time, he and his leader, Ling Lan, are both stuck on Planet Haijiao… As his father, I can't abandon him. I also want to be a general who loves his soldiers like his own flesh and blood."
Hearing this, Ling Xiao snorted coldly, "Lieutenant General Qi, what's wrong with him joining my 23rd Division?"
Qi Yaoyang also snorted coldly with a look of disdain on his face, "Then, why don't you let your son join my 13th Division?" Ling Xiao took his son and still had something to say about it?
The two of them stared at each other, and a slight killing intent was sensed in the air. In the end, they both snorted coldly and stopped their quarrel. After all, at that moment, they were on the same team. They must set aside their differences and cooperate with each other for once.
Ling Xiao's words made the First Marshal have a change of heart. He turned around and looked towards the Second Marshal and asked, "Brother Song, what do you think?"

Elements of Success
December 05, 2018Aubrey Paris '15 has been chosen as one of the world's 118 top young chemists by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) and appears on its Periodic Table of Younger Chemists.
In celebration of the 100th anniversary of IUPAC and the International Year of the Periodic Table, each chemist has been chosen for embodying the mission and core values of IUPAC. The resulting periodic table highlights the diversity of careers, creativity and dedication of the young chemists leading us into the next century.
"When I read the names, credentials and accomplishments of the other recipients, it becomes very clear to me that being recognized in this capacity is truly an honor," said Paris, who was nominated by Brian Pfennig, an assistant professor of chemistry at Ursinus.
Winners are being profiled on the IUPAC100 website and receive a certificate from IUPAC. Elements of the Periodic Table of Younger Chemists are being revealed over time in order of scientific discovery. Paris, who is currently pursuing a doctoral degree at Princeton University, is representing the element Potassium on the table.
One of the first fellows of Ursinus's Parlee Center for Science and the Common Good, Paris is a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow at Princeton. Her research involves the development and mechanistic evaluation of alloy catalysts active in electroreduction of carbon dioxide, particularly focusing on generation of multi-carbon products.
Paris is a senior fellow for the Institute on Science for Global Policy (ISGP) and is a founding co-host of ISGP's The Forum podcast. She recently consulted on a Department of Defense climate change impact assessment project and was selected as a Princeton Energy and Climate Scholar.
"I interpret my selection as evidence that being a civically engaged scientist is something to be proud of and commended," Paris said. "This hasn't always been the case. Academics have often been discouraged, whether formally or informally, from participating in the sorts of extracurricular work that have made me unique as a scientist—things like science communication and science policy. But if someone like me, who balances those activities alongside a full-time job as a graduate student, is being recognized as an outstanding chemist, then maybe that's validation that scientists can and should explore these atypical fields, whether as extracurriculars or even careers."

This June four new sanctuaries joined the Wildlife Land Trust, contributing over 345 hectares of land to our network!
With 607 sanctuaries covering over 66,000 hectares of wildlife-friendly land, the WLT is making a huge difference for native species and the habitats on which they depend. Among our new sanctuaries is Tree Haven, an extensively regenerated rainforest that provides habitat for lyrebirds, agile wallabies and koalas.
Conservation News
Wombats are one of Australia's most beloved and iconic species, but the threats facing these creatures are often overlooked and poorly understood. Chief among these is mange, a debilitating and often deadly skin disease which has the potential to wipe out whole populations. Dedicated wombat carer and WLT member Marie Wynan features alongside WLT Head of Programs Evan Quartermain in an in-depth investigation into the devastating effects of mange. By shining some much-needed light on this issue, we hope to continue our fight for a comprehensive, nation-wide mange management plan. Read more here.
After excessive delays by her predecessors, Environment Minister Sussan Ley has listed three of HSI's nominated Threatened Ecological Communities, a fantastic outcome for an issue that we've been fighting for years. These now nationally protected woodlands are home to a huge array of wildlife including koalas, Tasmanian devils, swift parrots and black cockatoos, and total over one and a half million hectares!

Android iPhone and iPad Productivity
How to Open Excel Files on a Phone or Tablet
Even when it comes to viewing spreadsheets, our mobile devices are more capable than they once were, but they're still not perfect. For instance, your iPhone may be able to preview a spreadsheet attached to an email without a purpose-built app, but there's no guarantee that it will appear exactly as it did on the sender's monitor.
Sometimes, it takes specialized software to get the job done properly. Fortunately, there are several different apps that are capable of opening up spreadsheets and helping you make your edits. Here are the best of the bunch.
How to Open a Spreadsheet Natively
To edit a spreadsheet on your smartphone, you'll want to download one of the apps listed below. However, if you only need to view the document, you might be able to use built-in tools.
How to Open a Spreadsheet Using Google Drive on Android
Most recent Android devices come pre-loaded with Google Play Services, which includes Google Drive. You should be able to open up Excel files natively Access Your Files From Anywhere With Google Drive [Android] If you're using Google Drive on your computer and you own an Android smartphone or tablet, you should install Google Drive for Android. With the app, you can access the files in your Google Drive... Read More using this functionality — if not, check out one of the apps featured in this article.
How to Open a Spreadsheet as an Email Attachment on iOS
Android users have many ways to transfer files to their device Move Files from Mac to Android Without Android File Transfer If you need to transfer files between your Android device and Mac computer, these tools make it quick and easy. Read More , but on iOS it's not so easy. However, it's still relatively straightforward to open up documents sent to you as an email attachment.
Simply open up the attachment itself from the Mail app, then press the button in the bottom-right corner.
This will present you with some advanced options. Scroll through the middle bar of icons to find your desired app. You'll be able to import the content into your chosen editor.
Of course, the apps themselves offer other methods of opening files. The examples in this article even support cloud-based file storage. This is just a quick and easy way of receiving and opening a spreadsheet from another user on iOS.
Microsoft Excel
The chances are that the spreadsheet you're trying to view was created with Excel, so why not use the same program for true continuity?
Microsoft made no secret of its intention to bring mobile closer to the desktop experience with the release of Windows 10, and many improvements were made to the Office suite as part of this effort. While previous mobile apps were severely limited compared to the desktop version, the current Excel app for iOS and Android is very robust.
However, there is one caveat — while the app itself is free, its capabilities depend on what sort of Office subscription you have access to. Basic functionality is available to all users, but more advanced features require an active Office 365 membership How to See If Your Office 365 Subscription Is Active Not sure if you activated your Office 365 subscription? Want to check and make sure? Here's how to do it easily. Read More .
One major downside of the Excel app is its size. At over 400 MB, it's perhaps too large for users working with a limited amount of storage space. That said, it's head and shoulders above its competition in terms of compatibility with the desktop client, its feature set, and its overall level of polish.
Download — Microsoft Excel for Android (Free with in-app purchases), Microsoft Excel for iOS (Free with in-app purchases)
Google Sheets
In terms of free Office competitors, no one can really compete with Google. The company's services are available across all platforms — including a potent web-based client — making them very easily accessible. What's more, their collaboration options are neck-and-neck with Microsoft's output.
The Google Sheets app is a very capable spreadsheet viewer and editor for smartphones and tablets. To an even greater extent than the Excel app, its functionality has been tailored toward usage on a smaller screen size. This is particularly useful if you're using your phone.
The biggest benefit of using Google Sheets is its strong links with the wider Google ecosystem. It's easy to access files from your Drive 7 Essential Google Drive Storage Tips You Should Read Again You might not know everything about Google Drive. These seven essential Google Drive tips should help you squeeze every benefit out of the productivity suite. Read More , and share spreadsheets with other users. Multiple users can even work together in the same spreadsheet, at the same time.
Download — Google Sheets for Android (Free), Google Sheets for iOS (Free)
Citrix QuickEdit
While Citrix isn't a household name on the level of Microsoft and Google, the business communications giant demonstrates its knack for the workplace with the QuickEdit app. This piece of software allows you to view and edit Excel spreadsheets for free, and its highly refined interface might suit some users better than the other apps featured above.
QuickEdit devotes as much screen space as possible to the spreadsheet itself. To allow for this, minimalist icons offer easy access to wide range of functionality. A button in the top right corner makes sure that the keyboard is accessible at all times. Meanwhile, a small, swipe-enabled toolbar at the bottom of the screen contains quick links to formatting functionality, save and load operations, and a host of other essentials.
The app's biggest failing is its dated visual appearance. We expect business software to be a little dour, but spreadsheets simply look less appealing here than they do in other apps. On the other hand, they're perfectly clear and legible, even if they're not as attractive.
Download — Citrix QuickEdit for iOS (Free)
Do you have a recommendation for a particular spreadsheet viewer for iOS and Android? Or are you having issues with one of the apps in this guide? You can ask for help — or offer assistance — in the comments section below.

The following memory is from:
Here is a unique memory that Marcia and I share with several other Garfield 5th grade Girl Scouts. We were all so excited about going on a cook out in this nice field near the river not too far from Garfield. We were really well prepared for the experience by our scout leaders. I was one of those who got to help the leaders set up camp while some of the other scouts went over a hill to collect firewood near the river. Shortly, these model girl scouts came running back over the hill yelling "There's boys swimming in the river and THEY DON'T HAVE ANY CLOTHES ON!" Well, it was exciting, and the next thing I remember I was running with a whole pack of Girl Scouts to the edge of the hill as our poor, dear Leaders tried to call us back. We ignored their pleas and got just a glimpse of that Norman Rockwell scene of boys skinny dipping in the river before guilt set in and we headed back to camp. That was our last cook out.
Still laughing, Carolyn (Nelson) Fritz and Marcia (Wilkowske) Sterling

(Steven Bibas/Michael Paradoski photo)
St. John Vianney High School senior Steven Bibas has been selected to the 2017 United Soccer Coaches High School All-America team, the organization announced on Monday.
"This is not possible without my teammates and coaches who push me to be the best possible player I can be," Bibas said, "and that every time I step out onto the field it is for them, God, and my family."
Bibas, who helped lead the Golden Griffins to a second-place finish in the Missouri Class 4 tournament, was one of three players from Missouri to make the team.
"Steven made an impact on every game he played and his value to our team goes way beyond his stats," Vianney coach Brian Haddock said. "If he wasn't scoring or setting up goals, he consistently drew the attention of the opposing teams, while sometimes facing their best defenders in double-team situations. Steven was a true captain both on and off the field and what sets him apart from others is his drive to improve his game while always keeping his focus on making the team better.
"Steven is a humble young man and will deflect this award on to the quality and help of his teammates. As his coach, I see his award as a true testament of how a leader can be influential to his peers around him and consistently made every one around him better because he demanded that in himself. Steven made our program better."
Bibas, a forward, recorded 12 goals and nine assists for a team-high 33 points during his senior season. He also had a team-high five game-winning goals. During the Griffins' playoff run, Bibas scored the lone goal in a 1-0 overtime win against Parkway South in the district semifinals and scored the go-ahead goal against Francis Howell in the state quarterfinals.
Bibas has committed to continue his soccer career at Southern Illinois-Edwardsville.

Lincoln's most memorable contest came against Jack Armstrong, a member of the rough and rugged Clary's Grove Boys. When Armstrong heard stories of Lincoln's famous strength (from Lincoln's boss, no less), he challenged the future president to a match. Crowds gathered. Money was wagered. And when the bout was over, Lincoln again stood tall, as he always seemed to.
Some versions of this story claim that Lincoln challenged each member of Armstrong's gang to individual fights after they attempted to interfere in the match before a clear winner was declared. Armstrong, admitting defeat, reportedly called off his friends and became lifelong friends with Lincoln. While accounts differ on the last moments of the fight, it's clear Lincoln had earned the respect of not only Armstrong, but the neighborhood as a whole.
Biographer William O. Stoddard wrote of the match:
"The episode was full of important consequences to Abraham Lincoln. His courage and prowess had been thoroughly tested and had made a deep impression upon the minds of his rough neighbors. He was in no danger of further challengers from any of them, and Jack Armstrong avowed himself the fast friend of the man who had given him so good a shaking."To this day, historians can only find one instance where Lincoln was bested during a match. It occurred while he was a part of the Illinois Volunteers during the Black Hawk War of 1832, when a man named Hank Thompson became the only man to actually throw Lincoln during a bout for his regiment's championship.
While Thompson may have claimed the title, Lincoln's reputation as a feared wrestler—and beloved president—was rewarded in 1992 when he was inducted into the Outstanding American wing of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame and Museum in Stillwater, Oklahoma.

While the talks over the need for more improved and enhanced security systems continue to make headlines, only a few choose to find a solution to the issue. So, what is it? It is time to go behind the scenes of one of the most advanced home security systems in India.
A group of three engineering student from Toc H had decided to step out of the walls of the classroom and begin creating interactive robotic kits. These kits were sold to those students who were pursuing projects as per their curriculum. The kits were also incidentally the cheapest ones in India. Having earned a lot of money, the three college students decided to splurge the money that they had earned, until they met Sanjay Vijayakumar, CEO, Startup Village. "We were working on the same lines as he had spoken about. But we weren't serious about it in those days," said Pavan, co-founder MindHelix. In 2010, the band of boys decided to come together to venture into the world of business. Soon, MindHelix had entered the arena of technology enterprises.
The tricky first days
MindHelix explored a wide arena for projects. After creating India's cheapest robotic kit, the group went on to innovating an advanced autorickshaw metre as well as personal security mobile app called Sentinel. This app was meant to cater to all men and women to assure themselves of a certain of safety even when their phones have been switched off. The product, however, did not seem very appealing at first. The team had approached various enterprises, pitching the product as an employee security tool. Due to slow sale cycles in this segment, team MindHelix could not venture out to running the business in a full-fledged manner. Although they were able to reach out to a few known firms, the funding remained a concern for banks were hesitant to help them due to the 'startup' status. It was not long before they had realised the potential of their mobile app and had created a unique home security system called Rico.
Once junk, now a crucial element
MindHelix has cleverly utilised smartphones, both old and new, in the product. Here is how the product works:
A demo video of how the product 'Rico' works.
The product also comes along with a variety of accessories as well including plug sockets. "We wanted to use old smartphones which have certain features like the voice recorder and the camera as it was cheaper to do so," said Pavan.
Building a clientèle
MindHelix has adapted many marketing strategies. To begin with, their latest product – Rico, comes along with a set of interesting smart sockets and other accessories too. "Rico is not exactly a device that you would use regularly. Therefore, we decided to launch accessories the customers could use regularly. Thereby, building a brand name and convincing the customers of our services. The firm also uses social media to reach out to a large group of people. The response on social media, according to Pavan, has been favourable.
One among the few to 'startup'
MindHelix was one among the few firms to have been part of the Startup Village since the beginning. "It has been a good ride. There have been moments when everything seemed to be rather low. But since our kickstarter campaign, we have been able to generate revenue as well as raise seed funds for our projects. Many investors are, now, willing to fund us for our projects. Startup Village had introduced us to several people, thus, widening our contacts circle. This has helped us in many ways," explained Pavan.
Work and play is the way to go
Pawan and his team say that they do not regret having started their own firm. "It was very difficult for me to convince my parents of the idea of running my own company. But now, they are confident about the way things are," Pavan added. At MindHelix, the team not only works towards a common goal but they also have good fun. Would they encourage more people to run their own companies? "Why not. But one should not start a company before being sure of what they would like to do," commented Pavan.

AEG Foundation Silent Auction
2010 is well underway and so are plans for this year's AEG Foundation Silent Auction. This year the money that is raised by the auction will support the Lemke Fund. The Lemke fund supports the scholarly and professional development of student members of the Association of Environmental and Engineering Geologists by awarding grants intended to offset part of the cost of attending and participating in the association's Annual Meetings. These grants are awarded to students at the undergraduate or graduate levels. The AEG Foundation will make the awards to deserving student members who are sole author or first author of a paper or poster that they personally present at the annual meeting. Students are the future of AEG, so let's start now thinking about making a contribution to this year's auction and by contributing you will be supporting not only the association, but our students.
Attached you will find two documents that were developed for this year's auction. One is a Donation Form and the other is the Silent Auction Newsletter. Please review and if you have questions concerning either document, please contact Donna Schmitz, AEG Foundation – Silent Auction-Chair at email@example.com.
On behalf of the Foundation, thank you for your continued support!

ASU Student-Professional Meet and Greet
Greetings AEG Members and Supporters,
As part of our attempt to outreach to ASU students and faculty, AEG has been working closely with ASU's GeoClub, a student organization within the School of Earth and Space Exploration. GeoClub will be hosting a Student/Professional Meet and Greet evening on Tuesday March 9th at 5:30 pm. The purpose of the meet and greet event is to provide an informal setting where students can meet with professionals and ask questions related to work in engineering, geology and geology related fields and how they can tailor their course choices and other trainings to prepare for work in the engineering and geologic consulting industry. It is anticipated that refreshments and networking will be the order of business from 5:30 to 6:00 pm with student/professional interaction following.
GeoClub has solicited the support of AEG's professional membership by attending the event and meeting with students to answering their questions.
If you are a practicing professional, please consider supporting this event by attending and meeting informally with students to answer their questions. Official announcement of this event is expected from ASU's GeoClub soon and will be forwarded to you upon receipt.
If you are interested, please contact me at the e-mail address provided below.
Best regards,
Gregg Mitchell, R.G.
Student Liaison, Arizona Section, AEG
PS Please also start thinking about supporting the upcoming Fifth Annual AEG/AHS Student Night event. This year's event will be held at ASU's Tempe campus on Tuesday, April 6th. The event is being promoted by the ASU School of Sustainable Engineering and the Build Environment's Civil, Environmental, and Sustainable Engineering program, the School of Earth and Space Exploration, and GeoClub.

I'm sorry to leave you like that, but I have been away for a few days and this is the first opportunity to get back on the internet.
Saturday 30th March 2019.
This island is 420 miles from Bangkok and looks beautiful from our ship offshore, it is mainly unspoilt natural tropical jungle.
The island had no roads until the early 1970's. But since then every child is born with a taxi licence, and every one of them is clamouring to take you for a ride in theirs. They enthusiastically push plastic encapsulated coloured maps and pictures of taxi rides they really do wish to take you on. We emerged cut and bleeding from the head because of the plastic maps pushed in our faces as we walked. Florie and I pushed our way through the throng of determined Thai men and women over the half mile long jetty from the tender to the road.
Then things got easier for us in the 30°C of humid air, sweat leaking out of every pore. My clean shirt and pants now soaked with sweat. We dipped into the many shops within half a mile of the port, a busy place, with lots of tourist shops mixed in with real shops the locals used. These were mainly staffed by the beautiful Thai women; they are certainly found very attractive by us English blokes, well this one anyway.
Florie bought a loose fitting sundress in black with white with elephants all over it, not full size elephants of course, you could only get one of those on the front and another on the back! Ouch sorry love I was only joking.
We found a coffee shop where one of us had a nice cold mango drink and the other one left her coffee as it was too hot and wasn't very nice. Lots more shops later we came across a TESCO store, not as big as the ones we have in the UK. But one that had many fruits and veg that were very unusual to us. Then we looked round and found 6 cans of beer for £3 and snackies that we will enjoy over the coming weeks as we went by the pictures on the packets.
As we emerged from the store I saw a large black cloud coming over from the back of the island. We headed back to the port quickly stopping only to pick up some souvenir bargains on the way. Believe me or not we had just parked our bums on the seat in the tender back to the ship and the heavens opened, the way tropical storms tend to do. As the tender made its way to the ship we looked back and could not even see the shore the rain was so heavy.
My friend Paul who lives a long way from this island in Thailand will hopefully smile at this (I hope to see you next time you are in the UK, Paul).
Best Regards Nibs.

FAIRBANKS, Alaska (KTVF) KUAC public radio and television will stop broadcasting several channels in an effort to meet new budget restrictions.
According to a press release from KUAC, they will stop airing channel 9.7 and 9.8 which are radio channels on television as well as cutting channel 9.9 which streams 360 North. KUAC is also cutting KUAC 2 and KUAC 3, online digital radio channels that provide both programming and streaming service.
Governor Mike Dunleavy vetoed $155,539 in funding from the public radio station at the University of Alaska Fairbanks in his sweeping budget vetoes earlier this year. KUAC lost another $500,000 in funding from the university as they worked to meet their budget reductions from the vetoes. KUAC had around a 17% budget reduction from fiscal year 2019 to 2020.
According to the press release, the station has cut more than $1 million from their budget in the last seven years.
Cutting the digital radio channels means that KUAC will no longer be able to air the UA Board of Regents call-in public testimony on KUAC 2 or the first hour of the Fairbanks North Star Borough School Board on KUAC 3.
"(Discontinuing these five channels) will not cover the full cut of nearly $700,000 in a single year," said Keith Martin, KUAC General Manager. Adding that they will continue to make changes to meet budget goals.

My husband really likes Yogurt.
I do as well, but I'm very basic. I like vanilla yogurt. Period. I like it with granola. I've tried other flavors, and liked a few, but I'm turned off by slimy gooey fruit-on-the-bottom cropping up in my perfectly smooth, yummy breakfast.
My boy likes all sorts of flavors, and I've been pleased at having something vaguely healthy that he'll eat. Normally I'm trying to hide vegetables underneath his meat. (To be fair, if I put vegetables on his plate, he will eat them all...leading to one unfortunate Brussel Sprout vs. Small, Intimate Theater episode that will go down in our marital history)
A lot of blogs and friends have said that making yogurt is so easy that one MUST try it at home. I didn't really have much of an opinion on yogurt - zero-waste wise. My toothbrushes are made from recycled yogurt cups, so it felt like a wash. But I found a really cool yogurt maker at Value Village, and had my husband give it to me for Christmas.
It turns out that mine is a 1974 Salton Yogurt Maker. What I like best about it, is it comes with 5 glass yogurt cups, with plastic lids (probably not BPA free, but they aren't being particularly warmed, so I'm not too concerned) - that are about the same size as a standard store-bought yogurt cup.
The approach is actually fairly simple.
4 C. Whole Milk (You can use 2% or Skim, but they won't make as thick a yogurt)
3 Tbsp Plain Yogurt (As a starter - after the first batch you can use your own yogurt)
Bring milk to 180 Degrees (just boiling), immediately cool to 120 degrees. If a film forms, remove. Add 1 cup of warm milk to Yogurt. Blend lightly. Add mixture to remaining warm milk. Pour equally into yogurt cups (or glass jars). Put in yogurt maker (Or surround jars with warm water - keep refreshing water every hour or so). Let sit undisturbed for 5-10 hours. The longer you leave them, the tangier the yogurt will be. Strain out the whey for Greek Yogurt.
I started mine at an odd hour, and had to get up at 2am to take my yogurt out of the warmer. I put them straight into the fridge, and this morning awoke to lovely, fully "gelled" plain yogurt.
Then, came the fun part! Choosing flavors!
Yesterday, I ate the remaining single serve tub of Greek Yogurt I'd purchased for my starter. I wanted to gauge what type of sweetener tasted good to me. So I did half with honey, and ate the other half with a little brown sugar sprinkled in. Both were yummy - I liked the flavor of the brown sugar more, but it was a touch grainy.
This morning, I looked up some various recipes, and discovered some things.
1. Adding sugar/flavored syrups to plain yogurt can break down the yogurt and make it very runny.
2. Adding frozen fruit to yogurt can water down the yogurt and make it very runny.
Basically, yogurt is a tricky little beast, and getting too tricksy with it can make very runny yogurt. Lots of women then were sharing tricks of adding gelatin and pudding powder, or kool aid mix, or lemonade powder - basically anything with some gelling agent to add flavor without watering the yogurt down. But then, for me, what is the point of going to all the effort of making your own, only to add a whole ton of artificial flavors, fillers, gelatin, etc.
But one lady had a really good idea. Add jam. It will add a little sweetener, a gelling agent, and you can mix in some whole fruit (defrosted) to add some heft.
So I mixed one Tbsp of jam with some tiny bits of chopped frozen fruit, nuked it for 30 seconds to warm the fruit a bit, allowed to cool, and spooned it onto the top of the yogurt. My boy can mix it when he eats it, it looks really pretty, and if he needs a little more sweetness than the jam offers, he can always add a bit more honey or sugar.
So, here is the final product!

Laurent Ferrier has got to be one of the most interesting independent watchmakers out there for more than one reason. The man is a veteran in the industry, having worked for some 37 years at Patek Philippe before starting his eponymous watch brand. During that time, he dabbled in amateur racing and was a pretty accomplished in that field as well. In 1979, he raced in the grueling 24 Hours of Le Mans and came in third in his class, behind a certain Mr. Paul Newman. And one of the loveliest watches that he makes today is the Laurent Ferrier Galet Classic Square Sector Dial Tourbillon Double Spiral watch. Why do I think it's so great? Read on and I will tell you.
