Iceland UK Foods release their Christmas Advert – the message is not exactly Christmassy…
…but it has a powerful message worth thinking about (and acting on) this Christmas. Originally made for Greenpeace, but adopted by Iceland, as this year's seasonal campaign, it has failed to meet the criteria for being suitable on British TV (bureaucratic nonsense) but it's generating the publicity anyway!
Beautifully made and highly emotive, the short film is well worth sharing.. so here it is…
Halloween is nigh – And Autumn.
October marks the beginning of Autumn for most of us
– although, so far it has been unseasonably warm this year. But when the weather eventually turns cold and damp we go straight into wither mode in our household – and that involve a change in clothes (obviously), the central heating is turned on (as late as feasibly possible), and our meal menu swaps from salads to warming winter comfort foods.
Cereal or a slice of toast for breakfast is swapped for a bowl of porridge. Warming soup with a crusty role becomes a lunchtime favourite and the evening meals tend to be something slow cooked or oven baked. As lovely as it is to cosy up for the onset of winter, the costs sky rocket – not to mention the calories!
It's this time of year where … Continue reading
Should we stop using plastic in the kitchen?
Plastic pollution is making headlines at the moment.
Here at EatBy we're obviously mad keen that the use of plastic packaging is reduced across all industries – not just food. And, yes, we're delighted to see that the media has jumped onto the"reduce plastic packaging" bandwagon. Here in the UK the government is attempting to ban various disposable plastic items such as drinking straws. It's become a farcical race to between the British and European governments to ban drinking straws in order to prove which administration can do something with the least amount of bureaucratic man hours. As crazy as it seems that MEPs and MPs are measuring their political aptitude with drinking straws it is, at least, a positive start.
Plastic packaging
We're keeping a close eye on the developments in the packaging of pre-prepared meals – more specifically the black plastic containers that can be used in the microwave. These containers are made from plastic that is currently not recyclable. There are some manufacturers who are using alternatives, including bamboo and cardboard. These are still the minority and … Continue reading
EatBy has moved onto new Eco Servers
EatBy has moved onto new UK based servers this month and the process is now complete. The benefits of the move have enabled us to fully comply with the new UK data protection standards, especially in anticipation of the whole Brexit challenge. We have chosen Krystal to host our business because their servers are powered completely by renewable sources.
Besides being able to joke about having our back end powered by wind, the move to a greener supplier is more appropriate and fits well with our own goals of encouraging sustainable living.
Please send us a message if you would like to know more about going green for your hosting or any other part of your business- we're becoming quite knowledgable about it and are happy to help.
Best Regards,

Yumicons App is now Available on the App Store
As part of our education programme due to be rolled out in the U.K. during 2018 we have developed a fun bunch of food characters called the Yunicons. The Yumicons app is free and available on the Apple App store. The app allows children (and anyone else) to create images and cartoons using the Yumicons or to create their own character using food stickers and a whole bunch of other bit and pieces like eyes, mouths and silly hats. The characters can either be added to photos and selfies or used to make comic strips using the provided royalty free images to share with friends and on social media.
An education version of the app is soon to be provided to schools to help children grasp the benefits of eating food while it is fresh and the importance of … Continue reading
They're nearly here!! The Yumicons are on their way.
Encouraging kids to Eat Fresh and Waste Less –
In addition to developing the Next Generation EatBy Smart Kitchen App, we've been busy behind the scenes with something fun… the Yumicons App.
As part of our educational package, Yumicons are a daft, fun way of engaging kids and adults – but mostly kids, but then we've been trying the beta app versions – too much fun – so really adults also – but originally designed for kids. Anyway, I digress.
From trumpifying turnips to crowning cauliflowers, kids are going to love sharing their 5-a-Day successes.
Yumicon creations will be limitless using our stand alone sticker app. The Next Generation EatBy App incorporates a kids mode featuring the Yumicons with an awesome surprise (again, that adults will be completely addicted to too;)
"When will the Yumicon App be available?" We hear you yell.
We're rolling out the stand alone … Continue reading
Released on the App Store – update 2.3.2
The latest iOS version of the EatBy App has been released for all Apple devices. It's more stable and has two more features, a screen shot function and information from within the food page.
As stated in our previous blog post:
"There's a new share button on the "My Kitchen" screen ("My Pantry" for some users) which takes a screenshot of the visible items to be shared with family or even on social media. Ideal to remind family that something needs to be eaten up!
The second great innovation is the addition of information available from the individual items' screen. An info button will appear by the item description if additional storage, product or manufacture's information is available. We'll be adding this information to our servers over the coming months."
We're happy that the good folk at Apple have reviewed and released version 2.3.2
Your EatBy App should automatically update but for those of you who needed to remove the app from your device – it is now ready to be reinstalled. Once again, we'd like to thank everyone … Continue reading

Press Release: Artificial Intelligence – the solution to food waste at home.
Please find our Press Release regarding EatBy App's latest developments. High-res images can be found here and if you need any further comments, information or images from us, please call. (+441433631533)
18th October 2016
Artificial Intelligence – the solution to food waste at home.
Developers of the EatBy App have incorporated artificial intelligence into their kitchen management and grocery list app to reduce domestic food waste.
The latest release of the EatBy App includes a new feature – it automatically suggests how long fruit, veg and frozen items will stay fresh for and then reminds you to use them up before they go off. But the clever bit, according to the developers, is that the app learns the storage habits of individual users.
"Not everyone's kitchen is the same, and different food storage environments effect shelf life. EatBy App addresses this problem by learning as it's used over time."
Domestic food waste is now the biggest contributor to the global food waste problem. Supermarkets have suffered the brunt of bad publicity, being blamed for massive quantities of unsold food being wasted. Many supermarkets and grocery … Continue reading

'Breast may be best' for infants, yet, what about breastfeeding if mum needs to take medicine?
Mothers frequently receive conflicting advice on this and may have unrealistic fears about the risks to their infant. This may lead to women choosing to stop breastfeeding unnecessarily or not taking the medicine that they may need.
Note: This article is intended as a general guide only; women should seek advice from their pharmacist or doctor if they have any concerns.
Medicine transfer into breast milk
All medicines transfer into breast milk. The only exceptions are very 'large' medicines, such as insulin (used in managing diabetes) and heparin (an anti-clotting agent), which do not transfer from the mother's bloodstream into breast milk.
Breast milk tends to have a lower pH than blood (around 7.2 versus 7.4), more fat (4.5% versus 1%) and less protein (2.5% versus 19%). This means basic medicines, that are fat soluble with low binding to plasma (blood) proteins, transfer readily into milk. On the other hand, those that are acidic, highly protein-bound and water soluble, are less likely to transfer into milk.
Determining risk to the infant
In determining the safety of medicines in breastfeeding, factors that should be considered include:
- the dose of the medicine that an infant is likely to ingest via breast milk
- the likely concentration of the medicine in the infant's blood, and
- the effect of this concentration on the infant.
In general terms, the younger or more premature the baby or infant, the longer it will take for a medicine to clear from its system. This is mainly due to the immaturity of the infant's kidneys and the enzyme systems within the liver. Therefore, the younger the infant, the more cautious mothers should be about taking medicines in breastfeeding.
Toxic medicines – to be avoided if breastfeeding
Medicines that are traditionally viewed as highly toxic and not to be used in breastfeeding women include:
- anticancer agents (chemotherapy)
- immunosuppressants (with exceptions, eg. azathioprine in some circumstances)
- gold salts
- amiodarone
- lithium
- ergotamine.
Even low infant exposure of these medicines may be too much.
A number of case reports have documented problems in infants exposed to certain medicines through breast milk. For example, some beta-blockers, eg, atenolol, have been associated with slowing of the pulse or bradycardia. Women who are breastfeeding and require a beta-blocker (eg. for migraine prevention or for high blood pressure) are better to try another agent from the class, such as metoprolol, which has lower infant exposure through breast milk.
Adverse reactions with 'safe' medications
Occasionally, medicines that are regarded as safe, can produce adverse reactions in some infants. For example, there are case reports of diarrhoea with 5-aminosalicyclic acid (mesalazine) and rash with paracetamol. However, both of these medications are usually regarded as safe in breastfeeding.
Before taking any medicine, check with your pharmacist or doctor that it is safe. The NZ Formulary is one of the sources used by health professionals to check medication safety.
Effect of medicines on milk supply
Another possible effect of medicine use by breastfeeding mothers, is on their milk production, with some medicines reducing or increasing mothers' milk supply.
This is why the combined oral contraceptives are best avoided in the early stages of breastfeeding as the oestrogen (usually ethinyloestradiol) component may suppress lactation. Breastfeeding women requiring an oral contraceptive are usually prescribed a progestogen-only pill.
Using medicines
Mothers who require a medicine during breastfeeding should always be treated with the lowest effective dose and for the shortest possible time.
- Feeding an infant immediately before the mother takes her next medicine dose is often recommended, since the medicine concentrations in breast milk are likely to be lowest at this point.
- In some circumstances, it may be safest to temporarily interrupt breastfeeding or alternate breastfeeding with bottle feeding of formula or previously expressed and stored breast milk.
- Mothers and health professionals considering this option should ensure they have appropriate specialist advice, as this approach is rarely required.
Before taking any medicine, check with your pharmacist or doctor that it is safe. The NZ Formulary is one of the sources used by health professionals to check medication safety.
Common colds
Coughs and colds should be managed with non-pharmacological measures whenever possible. These include rest, hydration (taking plenty of fluids), saline drops and unmedicated steam inhalations. If medicine treatment is necessary, it is best to avoid combination products in favour of individual treatments tailored to the mother's needs.
Nasal decongestants and cough medicine
Topical nasal decongestants, eg, oxymetazoline, which result in lower systemic exposure should be used in preference to oral pseudoephedrine or phenylephrine. While infant exposure to pseudoephedrine in breast milk is low, there is evidence that a single 60mg oral dose can suppress breast milk production by around 25%. There appear to be no published data as yet on the transfer of phenylephrine.
Non-pharmacological treatments, eg, throat lubrication with unmedicated lozenges, fluids etc, should be considered for treatment of cough in the first instance.
Diphenhydramine (little data but has been used extensively without problems) and codeine are reasonable choices for short-term use in breastfeeding (watch for alcohol listed in the formulation chosen and monitor the infant for signs of sedation).
There are insufficient data on dextromethorphan, pholcodine, bromhexine and guaifenesin to support their use during breastfeeding.
Throat gargles
While there is little information available on the safety of sore throat treatments, anaesthetic (numbing) throat gargles are unlikely to pose harm (be sure to spit out the medicine after gargling).
Topical treatments for local effect, such as beclomethasone nasal spray, hydrocortisone cream and cromoglycate eye drops are compatible with breastfeeding. The older antihistamines, such as promethazine and dexchlorpheniramine, are regarded as compatible (extensively used without problems), as are fexofenadine and loratadine.
Gastrointestinal problems
In general, most older anti-emetics [medications to stop vomiting] are regarded as compatible with breastfeeding because they have been used extensively without problems and exposure is expected to be low. Thus, histamine H1-receptor antagonists, eg, cyclizine, or phenothiazines, eg, prochlorperazine, are reasonable choices.
Gastro-oesophageal reflux/indigestion can be treated with lifestyle measures and simple antacids. Ranitidine is also compatible with breastfeeding and may be used, if appropriate. The limited information available on the proton pump inhibitors (eg, omeprazole) indicates safety, as the dose to the infant is small and much of what is ingested through milk is likely to be degraded [broken down] in the infant's gut.
For constipation, bulking laxatives, eg, psyllium, or lactulose, may be used. Short term use of docusate and/or senna is not expected to pose problems (but monitor the infant for altered bowel motions).
Pain relief
Paracetamol is the analgesic of choice for mild pain.
NSAIDs ('non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs') are usually compatible with breastfeeding as they have minimal transfer into milk. Preference should be given to using medicines with a shorter half-life, eg, ibuprofen, diclofenac, rather than agents like piroxicam that have a longer half-life, with greater potential to accumulate in the suckling infant.
Aspirin in doses for pain and fever relief should be avoided as, although the relative dose to the infant is fairly low, there is a theoretical risk of Reye's syndrome, and safer alternatives are available.
Short term use of standard doses of opioids, such as codeine and morphine is not expected to cause harm, although the infant should always be monitored for opioid effects, eg, sedation, poor suckling. Greater caution is required if the opiate is required long term, the mother's dose is high or the baby is premature.
A recent study with tramadol demonstrated low infant exposure through breast milk and it may be regarded as safe.
Skin and fungal infections
For oral thrush nystatin is the treatment of choice, whereas topical clotrimazole and miconazole are appropriate for vaginal thrush and fungal skin infections.
Fluconazole is associated with a fairly high infant dose through breast milk and its safety in breastfeeding is more controversial. A single dose of fluconazole 150mg is unlikely to pose appreciable harm, although as the infant does not benefit from this form of medicine exposure, it is preferable to use topical agents in the first instance.
Other topical treatments that can be used, when indicated, include permethrin for head-lice (infestation should be confirmed first and initially consider non-pharmacological methods such as wet combing), erythromycin for acne, and aciclovir for cold sores.
Lifestyle measures
Caffeine – avoid where possible
Caffeine in a mother's diet has been associated with adverse effects such as irritability and altered sleeping patterns in their breastfed infants. Sources of caffeine include coffee, tea, cola drinks, some 'energy' drinks, and some OTC medicines (check label). Occasional caffeine intake is unlikely to cause many problems, but regular consumption is best avoided.
Smoking – quit if possible
Smoking is clearly undesirable (for both mother and baby) and should be stopped if at all possible. For mothers who continue smoking, ways to reduce infant risk include not smoking while breastfeeding, and smoking away from the baby, eg, outside. Mothers who have smoked regularly and need assistance with nicotine cravings to quit smoking, can try using nicotine patches. The nicotine patches give a lower exposure of nicotine (and other associated chemicals) to the infant than smoking does.
Alcohol should be avoided
Alcohol (ethanol) transfers readily into breast milk and it should be avoided in breastfeeding women. Alcohol has been associated with adverse effects in the breastfed infant, such as sleepiness, impaired growth and psychomotor [coordination, movement] delay.
An occasional drink (eg. for celebratory purposes) may be reasonable, provided care is taken to avoid infant exposure. For example, a glass of wine could be taken after the last feed of the day if baby is down to only a few feeds per day and will not require further breast milk until the following morning. There is no need to express and discard breast milk during this time unless this is required to help prevent breast engorgement.
As a general rule of thumb, allowing at least one to two hours after a standard drink, eg, 100mL wine or a can of beer, will allow the majority of ethanol to be eliminated from the breast milk. It is essential that breastfeeding mothers understand what a standard drink is (see www.alcohol.org.nz) as personal definitions vary.

Shock Absorber Or Complete Strut Assembly?
Now in the vehicle shock parts market, Complete Strut and Shock Absorber are both popular. When need to replace Vehicle shock, how to choose? Here are the tips:
Struts and shocks are very similar in function but very different in design. The job of both is to control excessive spring motion; however, struts are also a structural component of the suspension. Struts can take the place of two or three conventional suspension components and are often used as a pivot point for steering and to adjust the position of the wheels for alignment purposes. Generally, we heard of replacement of shock absorbers or dampers. It refers to only replacing a shock absorber or a bare strut separately and still uses older coil spring, mount, buffer, and other strut parts. However, it will lead problems such as spring elasticity attenuation, mount aging, buffer deformation from overuse to influence the lifetime of new shock absorbers as well as your comfortable driving. Finally, you have to replace those parts immediately. Complete Strut is composed of shock absorber, coil spring, mount, buffer and all related parts to restore a vehicle's original ride height, handling, and control capabilities one time.
Tips: Don't settle for just replacing a bare strut which can lead to riding height and steering tracking problems down the road.
Shock Absorber (Bare Strut)
1. Mark the nuts on the upper mount before disassembly in order to install the new strut in the correct position.
2. Disassemble the complete strut.
3. Disassemble the complete strut by a special spring machine and mark the components during disassembly in order to install them back in the correct position, or the wrong installation will cause force change or noise.
4. Replace the old strut.
5. Inspect the other parts: Inspect whether the bearing is inflexible rotation or damaged with sediment, whether the bumper, boot kit and isolator is damaged. If the bearing is in bad working or damaged, please replace a new one, or it will affect the life of the strut or cause noise.
6. Completely Strut installation: Firstly, do not hit or clamp the piston rod by any hard object during assembly avoiding to damage the surface of the piston rod and cause the leakage. Secondly, ensure all the components in the correct position avoiding noise.
7. Install the complete strut on the car.
Complete Strut
You can start to replace only from the sixth step above. So it is an all-in-one solution for complete strut installation, more easier and quicker.
Advantages And Disadvantages
Bare Struts
1. Only a little cheaper than complete struts.
1.Installation Time Consuming:
Need more than one hours to install.
and not replace other parts in one time
(Maybe other parts like rubber parts also aren't in good performance and stability).
Complete Struts
1. All-In-One Solution: A complete struts replace the strut, spring and related parts at the same time.
Only a little expensive than bare struts.

As a young girl, I started undergoing puberty quite soon. It began at 8 years old to be exact, such that, without medical intervention, I could have gotten my period by age 10. Alarmed, my parents scrambled to find a solution that would both conserve my innocence and manage the unruly growth that didn't fit the proper timeline.
Immediately, I was placed on a diet that eliminated any sort of junk food (including apples with the skin on, by the way) that could worsen rapid development of my "womanly" physical characteristics. In addition, parents and family took it upon themselves to begin policing what I wore.
I can still hear my mother tell me that skirts were off limits because my hips were already far too wide, the skirts always looked too short, and my legs were too thick to be out like that. Not to mention what happened as my breasts began to develop. Oh, then certain types of shirts were not allowed. I ran out of outfit options pretty quickly…
My body began to feel like a battleground, where the only way to remain unharmed was to obey the strict dress code that my parents set and pretend to ignore the men who continued to look more intently at me.
Truth be told, I can understand my parents' concern… It is scary how early girls are sexualized in Brazilian culture and grown men whistling at a 10-year-old on the street would send any parent flying.
However, all those years of policing have left me in a deeply troubled relationship with my body. I remember that even after moving to suburbia, MD, (where I was expected to NOT get harassed) my parents continued policing what I was allowed to wear. In fact, not just my parents. I distinctly remember a teacher in high school pulling me aside and asking me if this was "really the message I wanted to send boys with that top."
Through policing my body, people placed the responsibility for how other's saw my body on me. It then became my job to make sure that I was not objectified. The weight of an entire culture of objectification of women was placed on the shoulders of a 13-year-old.
In my teen years, I continuously hated my body. I hated living in it. I hated having to call it mine. I hated how it gained weight and I hated how it lost weight. I wanted to be inside anyone else's body.
Today, I do not claim that I've won the battle nor that the policing of my body's shape and what I choose to wear on it has stopped. It is still a battleground. I'm still policed, only it is mostly by me currently. Now, I police how and what I choose to wear on my body. Always hesitant that I am sending the wrong message and that I'm exposing too much. This mentality has kept me from celebrating the shape my body is, how it looks presently, and all that it does for me.

Ah, the Ten Commandments. Christians and Jews would have us believe that they're universal, so I decided to test that hypothesis.
I had a little difficulty at the very beginning, because actually there are Twelve Commandments. Different religious traditions organize them in various ways. But in the simple English version of Wik-sodus, these Twelve Commandments are:
OK, I'd gotten my Commandments in a format easy enough for a child to understand, and I wanted to see how they'd make their way around the world. How could I do that?
- I am the Lord your God.
- You shall have no other gods before me.
- You shall not make for yourself an idol.
- You shall not make wrongful use of the name of your God.
- Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy.
- Honor your father and mother.
- You shall not murder.
- You shall not commit adultery.
- You shall not steal.
- You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
- You shall not covet your neighbor's house.
- You shall not covet your neighbor's wife.
Only one way: Google Translate.
So I carefully entered the Twelve Commandments in Wikinglish, and then I sent that text flying all over the linguistic globe. Here's the route: English to Arabic to Bulgarian to traditional Chinese to Croatian to Czech to Danish to Dutch to Finnish to French to German to Greek to Hindi to Italian to Japanese to Korean to Norwegian to Polish to Portuguese to Romanian to Russian to Spanish to Swedish. Those are the 23 languages that Google has made available. From Swedish, I made the final translation back to English, since — as any American fundamentalist can tell you — that's the actual language of Jesus.
The final result is the True and Authentic Universal Version of the Twelve Commandments, just as God meant them to be:
Forgive me for not knowing exactly how to pronounce the character " in the Third Commandment; I think it may be a variant of the click sound found in Xhosa, although I have no idea how it made its way into the translation. My guess is: the Bulgarians snuck it in.
- I am your God weeks.
- Also from all other sins.
- "The presence of the image.
- In order to combat violence in the name of God.
- Do not forget, Saturday, in order to protect a sacred animal.
- His father and mother.
- Sueopseup dead.
- This is not marriage.
- If the state.
- It is perjury and neighbors.
- This should be away from home sueopseup people.
- In May a woman was approaching.
I should also point out that we learn, from the final translated version of the Fifth Commandment, the name of the person to whom God was speaking. It was not Moses, as commonly believed; it was Saturday.I'm sorry that I can't identify exactly who the Sueopseup people are, but I suspect that they may be the Hittites. In any case, they're either dead or away from home, so don't expect them to protect your sacred animal.
Even though I have no evidence, I'd like to believe that the approaching woman was beautiful. But I do wish she had chosen to wear something other than traditional Sueopseup garb.

Stop the Silence
ictQATAR's Social Media Specialist, Mina Nagy Takla, shares this insightful post on the important issue of cyber bullying and what can be done to help prevent it. (Also written in Arabic.)
One word. That's all it takes for someone to get really hurt. So what about full videos or pictures or offensive words that many of today's kids face online? It's not just about the pain that causes – but the silence that surrounds it. Simply nobody's talking about it – be it parents, teachers or even the bullied students themselves!
If you are a school principal or a teacher, don't just focus on the physical fights between your students during recess. What you don't see is far more dangerous and hurtful. You may walk around peaceful corridors in your own school but behind computer lab doors, cyber bullying can be cleverly hiding; a student faking an obscene photo of his colleague or another insulting someone on Twitter or a video of a student being beat up posted on YouTube so that the whole world can see it! Cyber bullying is here already and it's not going away unless we do something about it!
Cyber Bullying is thought be a Western phenomenon, something that could happen in Europe or the US but not in the Arab World. Well, that's not true – the Internet is the Internet, in any part of the world. Actually, the US has recently realized the dangers that cyber bullying causes and have taken legal measures to stop that. Sadly, laws remain just laws and they end up in drawers or on paper. 30% of American students are still being bullied online & the figures aren't declining!
So what's the problem? If laws aren't stopping it, what can? That's what the 7th Annual Conference Of The International Bullying Prevention Association discussed last November in Washington DC. The Conference called for what's more than just law enforcement – but rather school strategies to fight cyber bullying. And it's actually not about the stopping – it's more about motivating the students not to bully one another online and these are too different things. So rather than enforcing school rules that set punishments for the bullies, focusing on student's personalities and teaching them qualities of self respect and respect for one another is far more valuable.
No longer can schools sit in the spectator seat – it's time to stop waiting for cyber bullying prevention laws and stop blaming them for being absent from Qatar. Isn't time for Qatar's schools to stop viewing bullying from its mere physical side to a more conceptual understanding of how invisible bullying is far more critical? So, for every school teacher or principal out there in Qatar, go beyond computer labs. Open the doors and you'll find many scared students who are hurt but won't talk because no one listens. Here are some of the Conference's conclusions – a series of best practices on how schools can have their own bullying prevention strategies: (http://www.stopbullyingworld.org/Best-Practices-In-Bullying-Prevention_W418.cfm)
1. Focus on the social environment of the school. everyone in the school environment-teachers, administrators, counselors, school nurses, other non-teaching staff (such as bus drivers, custodians, cafeteria workers, and/or school librarians), parents, and students should be aware of what cyber bullying is.
2. Assess bullying at your school. Have an anonymous questionnaire to students about bullying. A number of bullying prevention programs listed in the Resource Kit include these measures.
3. Obtain staff and parent buy-in and support for bullying prevention. Bullying prevention efforts require buy-in from the majority of the staff and from parents. However, bullying prevention efforts should still begin even if immediate buy-in from all isn't achievable. Usually, more and more supporters will join the effort once they see what it's accomplishing.
4. Form a group to coordinate the school's bullying prevention activities. Bullying prevention efforts seem to work best if they are coordinated by a representative group from the school. This coordinating team might include:
- an administrator
- a teacher from each grade
- a member of the non-teaching staff
- a school counselor or other school-based mental health professional, and
a parent
The team should meet regularly to review findings from the school's survey; plan specific bullying prevention activities; motivate staff, students, and parents; and ensure that the efforts continue over time.
5. Provide training for school staff in bullying prevention. All administrators, faculty and staff at a school should be trained in bullying prevention and intervention.BIn-service training can help staff members to better understand the nature of bullying and its effects, how to respond if they observe bullying, and how to work with others at the school to help prevent bullying.
6. Establish and enforce school rules and policies related to bullying. Developing simple, clear rules about bullying can help to ensure that students are aware of adults' expectations that they not bully others and that they help students who are bullied.
7. Increase adult supervision in "hot spots" for bullying. Bullying tends to thrive in locations where adults are not present or are not watchful. Adults should look for creative ways to increase adult presence in locations that students identify as "hot spots."
8. Intervene consistently and appropriately when you see bullying. Staff members also should be designated to hold sensitive follow-up meetings with students who are bullied and (separately) with students who bully. Staff members should involve parents whenever possible.
9. Devote some class time to bullying prevention. Students can benefit if teachers set aside a regular period of time (e.g., 20–30 minutes each week or every other week) to discuss bullying and improving peer relations. These meetings can help teachers to keep their fingers on the pulse of students' concerns, allow time for discussions about bullying and the harms that it can cause, and provide tools for students to address bullying problems. Anti-bullying messages also can be incorporated throughout the school curriculum.

2018 KIA Rio's Mechanical
Engineered to reduce vibrations from the road, gas shock absorbers are standard in the 2018 KIA RIO. MacPherson struts protect the front chassis from excessive damage on rough surfaces. A coupled torsion beam axle is installed in the car's rear suspension system. The Michigan 2018 KIA RIO is equipped with four-wheel disc brakes that ensure a relatively short stopping distance on a wet pavement.

A Michigan KIA dealership will also mention that this compact model has a motor-driven power steering system that ensures excellent handling on any road. This traditional steering system offers a curb-to-curb turning circle of only 33.5 feet. Therefore, the RIO adapts very well to urban settings that require sharp turns in narrow streets.

The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is standard in the 2018 KIA RIO. By making small adjustments to the powertrain and brakes, this conventional technology keeps the vehicle on its intended path.

New Years Beatdown 2011: A Lost Classics/Maximum Letdown Special
by William Talley, filed in Games, Lost Classics, Maximum Letdown on Dec.29, 2011
In a few days, the ball drops, and the book closes on 2011. No doubt, many of you are planning on having huge New Year's Eve parties. And many of you will drink during these parties. And for a few of you, this will happen:
2011 was a banner year for the fighting genre. With [Ultimate] Marvel vs Capcom 3, Mortal Kombat 9, Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition, King of Fighters XIII, and Dead of Alive Chronicles all hitting storeshelves this year, the genre has came back in full force. With Dead or Alive 5, Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Skull Girls, Soul Calibur 5, and Street Fighter X Tekken hitting next year, the genre is only moving forward. This sequel to last year's Christmas beatdowns will take a look back at the best (or at least underrated) and the worst of the fighting genre's golden era. So without further ado, lets get to the beatdowns!
Maximum Letdown: Mace � The Dark Age (N64, Arcade)
Hot on the heels of Namco's SoulBlade, Mace had the perfect opportunity to become its evil twin (as well as being a successor to Midway's Mortal Kombat), instead, it became a footnote in history due to it's clunky play control. A demon known as Asmodeus wages war across Eurpoe in order to harness the dark energies of suffering, war, and despair. However, Europe isn't wnough for the demon, as he sets his sights towards the east. Warriors from Europe, Arabia, The Orient gather to battle the demon, either looking to possess the dark power for themselves, gain revenge, or save the world from the demon's grip. These characters include samurai, barbarians, and harem girls.
To the game's credit, it had some nice graphics for its time, and there were some pretty cool secret characters, including a Janitor, a fighting Chicken, and a Mech made of barrels and powered by a dwarf. Of course, its too bad that the gameplay didn't hold up. Then again, what could you expect from a Midway fighting game not named Mortal Kombat?
Maximum Letdown: Dragon Ball GT � Final Bout (Playstation)
In the previous installment of Christmas beatdowns, I mentioned a Dragon Ball game that was released for the NES in North America, but not before the licensed was stripped from it. Nearly a decade later, we would get an actual Dragon Ball game that carried the Dragon Ball name. However, it wasn't much better. Dragon Ball GT was actually based on the Dragon Ball GT series, which is the sequel to Dragon Ball Z, although the game features characters from both Z and GT. Although it would be the first Dragon Ball game released in America (and the first rendered in 3D), it would be the last Dragon Ball game released on Playstation, and the last console Dragon Ball game until 2002's Budokai.
Final Bout is a half-assed attempt to bring the action of the anime to Playstation. However, the clunky play controls, lack of variety in attacks, bland backgrounds, and the extremely frustrating beam-battle mini game (which to it's credit, was an early implementation of quick time events, as you had to enter a sequence in time) kill it dead in the water. The lack of character variety does little to help matters, as many of the unlockable characters are different versions of Goku. Despite it being an absolute crapfest, its limited print run saw the game being traded on Ebay for hundreds of dollars, at least until Atari re-released the game in 2004. Of course, it wasn't any better then than it was in 1997. It'll probably hit the PSN network if it hasn't already, but who is going to care at this point?
Maximum Letdown: Star Wars � Masters of the Teras Kasi (Playstation)
Like Dragon Ball, Star Wars is one of those franchises that is guarenteed to sell no matter what kind of game you make it into, whether it's an MMORPG (Galaxies, the recently released Knights of the Old Republic), real time strategy (Empire at War), or Shooter (Battlefront). Sadly, this meant that the Star Wars name could be slapped onto pretty much ANYTHING. This is how we got force-fed Wii motion control games, Twisted Metal rip-offs, and this crapfest, Masters of the Teras Kasi. Taking place between episodes IV and V, the emperor hires assassin Arden Lyn to assassinate Luke and the other members of the Rebel Alliance as revenge for the Death Star's destruction. However, Luke and his allies find out, and they decide to battle her, in a series of yes, one-on-one matches. Of course, you can go into battle as several Star Wars faves, such as Han Solo and Boba Fett. You can unlock Leia in her slave girl outfit (despite this game taking place between episodes 4 and 5). There is also lesser-known Mara Jade, who made her debut in a novel. The lackluster play control, small stages, crappy lightsaber action (remember, these blades can slick off limbs, so why do they suck in this game?), and crappier blaster action (why the fuck do you have to CHARGE your blaster IN A FIGHTING GAME?), aren't even the worst parts of this game. That would be the fact that there is no Lando. Billy Dee Williams would have redeemed any faults this game had. If you must have the cast of Star Wars in a fighter, grab a copy of SoulCalibur 4, which has either Darth Vader or Yoda depending on whether you purchase it on PS3 or Xbox 360, and purchase the other guy for $5.
Lost Classics � Street Fighter Alpha 2 (SNES)
That's not a typo. This isn't a Chinese bootleg, hack, unreleased ROM, or April fools prank. This is an honest-to-god port of Street Fighter Alpha 2 for Super Nintendo, and it was no less than a labor of love from Capcom. All the main characters are here (although there is no Evil Ryu or Special Sakura, and Shin Akuma can only be unlocked by an Pro Action Replay), all the moves are here, and all the backgrounds are here as well. Needless to say, the graphics and sound took some hits (frames of animation were cut, and there were load times), and there is no good reason to buy this is you had a Playstation or Saturn, but if you were hesitant to move on to the 32 bit era, companies like Capcom were still looking out for you.
Lost Classics: Bloody Roar (Playstation, Arcade)
Known as Beastorizer in the arcades, Bloody Roar had a novel concept (albiet one that pretty much asked for furry jokes): the Human fighters can transform into beasts during matches by filling up a meter. The storyline is your average battle between these human-animal hybrids (called zoanthropes) and the evil corporation that wants to control them. Characters range from wolves and lions to bunnies and lizards, so while some character designs are cool, others will no doubt emit a chuckle. The Playstation home releases of the first 2 games included two different soundtracks players could choose from, as well as a story mode featuring cinematics. Later installments, released on Xbox, Gamecube, and PS2 failed to attract the audience that the Playstation installments had. Bloody War was a solid game, but it was pretty much one of those games that fighting game fans would play while waiting for the next Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat. Even so, you shouldn't sleep on this. It's available on the Playstation Network if you missed it the first time around.

Nebula Genomics' Co-founder took time out of his busy schedule to talk to Coin Rivet. The project utilises blockchain to help patients sign up to the widescale genome-mapping research company.
Coin Rivet: This project is very exciting, and in fact crucial to genome research. Do you think people will sign up?
KO: We are excited about it, too. Right now, we're figuring out the business model and the demand for genomic data.
Pharma companies, especially, are starting to look into this. There has been exponential growth in personal genetics and we're at an inflection point where more and more kits are being sold.
We're making a bet that this is going to take off, and what's going to become very important is the idea of user-owned, or patient-owned data. That's the key to creating data sets that haven't been contextualised before.
For other research projects, that's a huge overhead. Here, we're trying to build a system where users are engaged, where we give them incentives to participate, and where they get properly rewarded for contributing research."
He says research is being held back as many of the existing companies on the market are "charging you while they turn around and resell your data, sometimes without your informed consent."
People are concerned about giving up their DNA to a third-party and letting them do whatever they want with it, "and they should be".
"We're focused on people who not only want to get their genome sequenced, but who want to own their data, and get a cut of the value it generates. The way to start is to make it cheaper, and even free, for people to get whole genome sequencing."
Coin Rivet: How can you reassure people on the issue of privacy after the Cambridge Analytica scandal with Facebook?
KO: Privacy concerns are even more significant to people when you're talking about something as personal as genetic and health information. Our platform was designed from the outset to protect the privacy of that information. It's more than that, too – we give individuals ownership and complete control over how their data is shared and used.
He says they are both using both blockchain and encryption-based technology and privacy-enhancing technologies on their platform.
"Together they give people the ability to know who's asking for access to their data and control whether or not to that access. It also ensures that their data remains private even while its being shared."
Coin Rivet: Why have people not previously bought into the idea of having their genome mapped?
KO: It took decades to map the human genome, and then even more research to get the price of full-genome sequencing down to where large numbers of people can afford it.
While we've got prices to a mass-affordable point, though, we still have to overcome the rest of the obstacles to participation – namely, privacy and control."
His colleague George Church predicted we'll be living in genomic age by 2020 and "the momentum is there."
Coin Rivet: Do you think people will trust it due to the blockchain tech being used?
KO: We think about this another way – we're creating a trustless platform. What I mean is that you don't have to trust Nebula, or anyone else on the platform.
Because of blockchain, you have verifiable proof that Nebula doesn't have your data.
If you're super security-conscious you can check for yourself. If not, you can use our web app. We have our own native blockchain that has a very seamless integration with typical web 2.0 experiences. In fact, most consumers won't even realise we're using blockchain, and they don't need to.
Blockchain is used as he says it lets the company connect researchers and consumers directly.
Because it has an immutable public ledger "for documenting transactions and consent, individuals have transparent consent management.
Both are key to "addressing major issues that keep people from sharing their data today, namely trust and privacy.
Coin Rivet: What are the potential health benefits for people who sign up?
We're starting by giving ancestry and polygenic risk scores. We're giving interesting trait prediction that's not health-related.
They look at general happiness, sleep quality, aspects of athletic performance, personality traits, physical appearance and BMI.
Survey questions ask about health, medications, diet, smoking and drinking, occupation and physical activity.
But as our Co-founder George Church says, our launch is just the first step toward the future. As we gather more genomic data, and as more individuals undergo much more detailed sequencing, researchers will be able to come to a single source for the kind and scale of information they want to develop predictive, personalised medicine.
It is the first time blockchain technology has been used this way.
Coin Rivet: As I understand it, people earn more credits the more information they share about the health.
KO: Yes, that's correct. We have a number of individual questionnaires that ask about your health, medical history, family medical history, habits and tendencies. This is data that would be useful to researchers that want to see how different things influence disease. We're building integrations to move other types of data over time, like Fitbit data, or possibly we'll be collecting microbiome data or data about your diet.
A lot of phenomic data can complement genomic data. We reward users for sharing this type of data and as a result making their genomic data more valuable.
We give you Nebula credits for each series of questions you answer. Earn enough credits, and you can redeem them for free genome sequencing. They can be redeemed for a variety of other offerings. Also, individuals who share information about their health will also have the chance to attract researchers who want access to their genomic data, and will pay their sequencing costs.
Coin Rivet: How can they be assured that their privacy will be protected as they share more information?
The same technology protects your privacy no matter how much information you share. As I said, we're building a system where you don't need to trust us— you have transparency and complete control.
Nothing happens without your explicit, informed consent, and the chance to get compensated. That's the only way we're going to get past the barriers to wide-scale participation.
Look, a lot of consumers don't realise their health data is being sold already, and they have no control and certainly aren't getting any of that value.. The current business model doesn't make any sense. Imagine if you paid a fee to use Facebook, but they went ahead and sold your data to advertisers anyway? There would be uproar. That's what's happening in personal genetic testing today: you are paying them to collect your data and sell it later for more money.
Coin Rivet: How important is it to keep ethics at the forefront?
Genomics is still a largely untapped field. We don't have a full understanding of what can be done with genomic data and what the risks are to individuals if their genomes get in the wrong hands.
At Nebula, we spend a lot of time thinking about how we can best protect your genomic information and keep you in control of it.
He says there is a tough trade-off "because we want people to be incentivised to share genomes for the betterment of medicine but we also want people to be able to keep their genomic information private."
Coin Rivet: Is lack of support from the public slowing down advances in research?
Our belief is that genomics has enormous potential to transform healthcare and usher in the age of personalised medicine.
While the technology exists to make this future possible, what's missing is access to the large-scale, aggregated genomic data researchers need.
We want to make access to that and other vital health data a reality. The first step is incentivising people to get sequenced and to share their data.

EU Migrant Worker
The EU Migrant Worker Project has been exploring the experiences of people who come to work in the UK from other EU Member States.
Their aim has been to gather robust empirical evidence about EU migrants' experiences of finding work and being in employment in the UK, as well as exploring EU migrant workers' use of social security, particularly in situations where work cannot be found or where pay is sufficiently low that it needs to be supplemented.
By combining this insight with knowledge about the law in this field, we hope to shed new light on the big question of how we adequately regulate migration within a socio-economically diverse EU and a post-financial crisis context. We hope that this research project will help to inform public debate as we reconceive and renegotiate the UK's relationship with the EU.
Music, Migration and Social Integration: Perspectives from the North African Diaspora in Europe
How might music move with patterns of migration? What role does music play in the maintenance of transnational identities and the forging of new social relations in the diaspora?
Music acts as a 'social glue' that can bring together diverse communities, both through grassroots human interactions and social media platforms. It can function as a form of nostalgia for the homeland and as a way of connecting communities across transnational contexts. Music can also operate as a mode of social integration, where musicians from different cultural backgrounds come into contact forging new cultural forms. In this panel, we will explore what happens when music and musicians migrate to new places of belonging, drawing on case studies from the North African diaspora in Europe. At a time of rising nationalism and anti-immigration rhetoric, we explore music's role in debates about belonging, multiculturalism and integration.
Report: Refugee Access to Early Childhood Education and Care in the UK
This report written by Monica Poulter (Teacher Development Manager at Cambridge Assessment English), Dr Brechtje Post and Prof. Ianthi Maria Tsimpli, forms part of an Erasmus project involving educationalists in the Netherlands, UK, Belgium and Norway. The overall objective of the project is to enhance the quality of Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) for preschool refugee children by providing tools to educators, child-care professionals and policy makers.

More than a million migrants and refugees crossed into Europe in 2015, sparking a crisis as countries struggled to cope with the influx.
The so-called refugee crisis has created deep divisions and policy incoherence in the EU among member states. The crisis foregrounded the vulnerability of European borders, the tenuous jurisdiction of the Schengen system and broad problems with multi-level governance of migration and integration. One of the most visible impacts of the refugee crisis has been the polarization of politics in EU Member States and intra-Member State policy (in)coherence in responding to the crisis.
The recently granted Horizon 2020 project RESPOND will study the multilevel governance of migration in 11 countries.
The successful Oct 2019 RESPOND Conference held in Newnham College, welcomed 175 participants to Newnham College. Blog report here: https://www.respondmigration.com/blog-1/respond-conference-unpacking-challenges-possibilities-migration-governance
R4HC-MENA's objective is to build research and policy capacity in conflict affected areas, focusing on health, political economy of health, and complex non-communicable diseases such as mental health and cancer, and facilitate more effective translation of research into policy.
Their legacy will be a new, networked community with practice, policy and health systems financing and planning informed by the best available evidence.https://r4hc-mena.org/
Shelter Design Project: Healthy Housing for the Displaced
The Shelter Design Project's vision is to transform the lives of displaced people encamped in extreme conditions through an engineered solution to housing that promotes a new science of shelter design.
This innovative project uses the current shelter occupants as part of the research team, rather than just a cohort to study. The project will lead to a transformative new science of shelter design based on multi-criteria optimisation that puts the social well being, health and thermal comfort of the shelter occupants at the center of the design process and allows an agile response.https://www.hhftd.net/

How to use a Parable
The parables
These are simple illustrations, sometimes of no more than a single sentence, but at other times running on as a complete story. "You cannot gather figs from thistles" is an example of the short parable, and the story of the Prodigal Son is of the longer variety. The first thing to remember is these parables were meant to be simple illustrations that ordinary people could easily understand. The parable was not meant to confuse or hide the truth. The only people who could not 120
understand them were the clergy. They did not want to understand but rather argue. A contemporary method of teaching was to argue using different points of view and quoting the writings of other men. The discussion on abstruse points of observance of the law might go on for days. After all, there was no TV or other distractions. This was not Jesus' way.
The simple parable
Just look at the illustration, and ignore the explanation.
Even when Jesus begins to explain it in the text, just look at the simple illustration. This is when things go off the rails. He was too good a teacher to have to explain what he said. The people in front of him understood very well what he meant. Later the disciples had to try to explain to others, and they put their explanation in his mouth. They even expanded on what he was teaching to include their own ideas, such as judgment and damnation. When he wanted to expand his listeners'
understanding, Jesus would use a second parable like the first, but which would develop the theme one more step. We call this literary device a couplet. Look out for them.
Each of Jesus' parables is a simile
Many of them begin with the words, "The Kingdom of Heaven is like..." Jesus' style is recognizable after 121
reading a few of them; his words have a rhythm about them that can be identified as uniquely Jesus of Nazareth. Further, these similes only occur in the synoptic gospels, but not the gospel of John. That writer puts in Jesus' mouth teaching expressed in metaphor rather than simile. That is another story we may eventually get around to telling.
Jesus states the subject of the parable in the first phrase of the parable
The point of the parable will therefore be about what that person or object does. This might seem obvious, but it is not. Preachers, teachers, and eminent theologians have gotten parables wrong for centuries, all because they missed who or what the subject of the parable was. It is very difficult to understand a parable if you begin with the wrong assumptions. The perfect example of this is a parable referred to as that of the Dishonest Steward, Luke 16:1-8. For 2,000 years, the point of this parable has been missed entirely because would-be interpreters have concentrated on the figure of the dishonest steward. Jesus tells us in the first line who it is about: "There was a rich man who had a steward." It is about the rich man, and it is about what he does that matters, not the machinations of the grotesque figure of the steward. The same thing happens in the stories of the Prodigal Son, the Sower, 122
the Weeds, Treasure hidden in a field, Pearl of Great Price, and several more.

- Spider-Man is from the Non MAU series Spider-Man and the film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
Spider-Man, is the alter-ego of Peter Parker, a superhero with spider-like powers. He possesses a cunning and brilliant scientific mind. He lives by his Uncle Ben's motto "With great power comes great responsibility."
Peter failed to capture a burglar who then killed his Uncle Ben. Peter then devoted his life to stopping crime as Spider-Man. He works at The Daily Bugle under J. Jonah Jameson. Jameson does whatever he can to discredit Spider-Man, though he is usually proven wrong. He works with Betty Brant who usually gets herself into trouble trying to help Spider-Man.
At some point a Spider-Man from a far future appeared before them. They accused each other of pointing at the other.
He was voiced by Paul Soles on Spider-Man and Jorma Taccone on Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
The first animated version of Spider-Man.
This version's inclusion in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was described by writer Christopher Miller as "the dumbest thing of all time." It was a reference to a popular meme from "Double Identity". It was meant to introduce the 2099 Spider-Man but subvert the obvious set-up for a sequel. Miller also joked that he would like a Midnight Run-type movie with this version and 2099.[1]
