Kids Health - Food Poisoning

Food poisoning comes from eating foods that contain germs like bad bacteria or toxins, which are poisonous substances. Bacteria are all around us, so mild cases of food poisoning are common. You may have had mild food poisoning — with diarrhea and an upset stomach — but your mom or dad just called it a stomach bug or stomach virus.

What Is Food Poisoning?

 You might think the solution is to get rid of all the bacteria. But it isn't possible and you wouldn't want to do it, even if you could. Bacteria are all around us, including in food, and sometimes they can be good for you. It's confusing, but one thing is for sure — the bacteria in the rotten leftovers weren't good for you. But you can learn how to avoid those bad germs in food.

Always saying yes isn't healthy

When you're over committed and under too much stress, you're more likely to feel run-down and possibly get sick. Saying NO can be very difficult. People with low self-esteem very often have a lack of assertiveness and think they have to meet the expectations of everyone. It is very hard for them to set limits with others. They sometimes feel ashamed or guilty if they would say NO. But to do things against your will and possibilities will end up in feeling used and resentful.

A simple and direct "NO, I am not able to help you with that" is the best solution. If you want to (have to) give an explanation you should keep it simple:"NO, I have already made an another appointment for this time" or "NO, sorry. I am afraid I have to decline because I have no spare time."

It’s Official: Apple to Announce iPad 3 Next Wednesday

Apple has just sent out an invites to journalists for a “media event” that will take place March 7th at 10:00 AM at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, which is the usual place that Apple holds their events. As you probably already know, Apple typically announces a new generation of their tablet, the iPad, about this time of the year. 

It was reported byiMore that Apple would announce the next-generation iPad 3 on March 7th and that the device would include a quad-core processor, LTE capability, a Retina display, and more.

Additionally, Bloomberg reported that production of the tablet had begun back in January of this year and that it would be releasing in March. The business blog also reported that the device would include a “high definition” display with LTE capability and a quad-core processor, which agrees with the rest of the reports that have been flowing in. Other reports have claimed that the tablet will include a larger battery, an 8-megapixel camera capable of capturing 1080p video, and a slightly different form factor.

Michael Bay confirms Transformers 4, replacing entire human cast

Ready or not, here comes Transformers 4. The Huffington Post reports that Transformers directory Michael Bay has signed a contract with Paramount Pictures to extend the money-minting movie franchise. Yeah, we know. Most everyone says the movies are terrible, with the exception of some eye-popping (yet very overdone) CGI.

It's hard to blame Paramount or Bay for going back to the well for more Autobot love. After all, the movies gross hundreds of millions of dollars, which makes us think that at least some of you are ponying up at the local movie theater.

As for Shia LaBeouf and the rest of the Transformers cast, word is that they will not be back for movie number four. But you can bet that Bumblebee, Optimus and the remaining cast of bad guys will be back. Bay claims the movie will hit the big screen on June 29, 2014, but there is no script at this point. Many will no doubt debate that there will be no script on June 30, 2014, either.

Future bus speed limit for Metro Manila buses: 40 km/hr

MANILA, Philippines - Buses plying Metro Manila roads will soon be fitted with a gadget that will physically limit speed at up to 40 kilometers (km) per hour. 

Transportation Secretary Mar Roxas said the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) will issue a memorandum circular (MC) soon requiring metro bus drivers and operators to install speed limiters, which will each cost around P10,000.

“These are mechanical gadgets that will be attached to the engines and transmission of buses that will physically limit the maximum speed at 40 km per hour. The implementation of which will be done on a staggered basis,” said Roxas.

“The MC will include penalties for tampering. There will be a fleet-wide penalty so that bus owners can make sure that all their units are equipped with speed limiters.  We are targeting a 100-percent compliance for the metro buses before the year ends,”  said the transportation chief.

There are 4,000 metro buses plying the metropolis and 7,000 registered provincial buses with the LTFRB.

Eventually, speed limits will also be imposed on provincial bus operators, he added.

Data provided by the DOTC stated that in 2011 there were 395 victims recorded from bus accidents nationwide. Of which, 74 died and were 300 injured.

Your IT Police

Our office computers are there to serve the purpose of being a tool in delivering the service what the company asked from us. Some of our office computers have strict policies on how we use them. And some are very lax to the effect that you are an Administrator to the computer you use. Most of the time a regular user is only a PowerUser.

Administrator have the capacity to do everything with the computer. Install programs/applications such as flash, games(plants vs. zombie,angry bird) or any application whether it is shareware, freeware and even cracked apps. You can also set your own Itunes Library that you can listen while you are working. This is the privilege given to an Administrator. A power user is a user of a personal computer who has the ability to use advanced features of programs which are beyond the abilities of "normal" users, but is not necessarily capable of programming and system administration. In enterprise software systems such as Oracle or SAP, this title may go to an individual who is not a programmer, but who is a specialist in a transaction or a business process. The "Super User" in enterprise programs (SAP, Oracle) often refers to an individual who is an expert in a module or process within the enterprise system.

But Have you ever been tagged non compliant or got caught by IT with your office computer? Just received a email this morning that my machine is non compliant, I guess it was the software I installed last weekend which is prohibited to install in the company property. But I already removed them before starting the work week. So I got nervous and I thought that there maybe tracks or cache of the program that was not removed and telling the system that it still has the program installed. So What I did was to remove every trace of the application:


Windows Command Prompt
1. Go to Start > Run and type cmd and Enter
2. Type "cd c:\" to change to the root of the C: drive.
At the c:\ prompt type "dir xxx.* /s" and press enter.  Windows will (or should) search all directories on the drive.  (Sometimes Windows explorer Search does not). 
Also, do the same for any attached drives, ie. USB, LAN drives, that Windows sees as a drive letter, such as e:\. 

After which, I re-run the security test and I was able to correct the non compliance. I am lucky since our company is still lax on corrective actions. Comparing with others, this instance will definitely cause you a memo or a corrective action.

The Next Filipino Saint to be Canonized

 

CEBU CITY -- The Philippines has its second saint in the Cebuano teenaged martyr Pedro Calungsod, soon to be known as San Pedro de Cebu.

Pope Benedict XVI announced that the canonization of Blessed Pedro Calungsod and six other religious men and women will be on October 21, 2012.

Archbishop Jose Palma told Sun.Star Cebu the news will be spread today, Sunday, in as many parishes and chaplaincies as possible under the Archdiocese of Cebu.

“We will exhort the various committees to implement action programs,” Palma said.

“I will give instructions to the auxiliary bishops and vicars general. (The announcement would be made to) as many as can be reached. All we do is repeat the official announcement made by the Pope,” he added.

The Pope made the announcement last night -- Saturday morning in Vatican City, Italy -- after he led the installation of 22 new cardinals during liturgical rites held at St. Peter’s Basilica. The Eternal Word Television Network aired the ceremonies live.

The Vatican News Service, meanwhile, reported that “following the ceremony, Cardinal Angelo Amato, S.D.B., prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, introduced the ordinary public consistory for the canonization” of seven blessed persons, among them Pedro Calungsod, “a Filipino lay catechist and martyr.”

The others are Jacques Berthieu, a French martyr and priest of the Society of Jesus; Giovanni Battista Piamarta, Italian priest and founder of the Congregation of the Holy Family of Nazareth; Maria del Carmen (nee Maria Salles y Barangueras), Spanish foundress of the Conceptionist Missionary Sisters of Teaching; Maria Anna Cope (nee Barbara), German religious of the Sisters of the Third Order of St. Francis in Syracuse, USA; Kateri Tekakwitha, American laywoman; and Anna Schaffer, German laywoman.

“The Holy Father has decreed that the canonization ceremony will take place on Sunday, Oct. 21. The consistory concluded with the apostolic blessing,” the report stated.

Fr. Mhar Balili, a Cebuano diocesan priest on a study leave in Rome and who witnessed the ceremony, posted the good news in his Facebook account.

He added that Archbishop Emeritus of Cebu Ricardo Cardinal Vidal, the national chairperson of the committee preparing for the canonization of the Cebuano martyr, would be meeting with Cebuano priests in Rome to start the necessary preparations.

The Rome-based committee chairpersons are: Msgr. Joseph Tan for catechism of Filipino migrants in Italy, Fr. Mhar Balili for liturgy, Fr. Ely Suico and Msgr. Rogelio Fuentes for the pilgrims.

Beato Pedro Calungsod, a teenaged catechist, was martyred in Guam in 1672 with a Spanish Jesuit priest, now Blessed Diego Luis de San Vitores.

Cardinal Vidal had called Calungsod a Cebuano, as he was part of the Cebu diocese at the time of his death. In the 1600s, the diocese included the whole of Visayas, Mindanao and the Marianas Islands.

He was also the one who revealed that the young catechist would be known as “San Pedro de Cebu.”

It was in December last year that Pope Benedict XVI promulgated a decree acknowledging the miraculous healing attributed to the intercession of Calungsod, the last step before his name was included in the list of saints or the process of canonization.

The country’s first saint, San Lorenzo de Manila, was also a martyr who died for his faith in Nagasaki, Japan. He worked as a calligrapher for the Dominican parish of Binondo, Manila.

He was the first person to be beatified outside Vatican City during liturgical rites held in Manila by Blessed Pope John Paul II in 1981. He was canonized by the same Pontiff in October 1987. (Sun.Star Cebu)

The NEW Windows Logo

Finally Microsoft wanted the Windows 8 logo to be both modern and classic and to be influenced by Metro styling. Also the posts states that when you change your color, the logo changes to reflect you.

Windows 8

Here are the considerations they made while putting up this new Logo:

1. They wanted the new logo to be both modern and classic by echoing the International Typographic Style (or Swiss design) that has been a great influence on our Metro style design philosophy. Using bold flat colors and clean lines and shapes, the new logo has the characteristics of way-finding design systems seen in airports and subways.

2. It was important that the new logo carries the Metro principle of being “Authentically Digital”. By that, they mean it does not try to emulate faux-industrial design characteristics such as materiality (glass, wood, plastic, etc.). It has motion – aligning with the fast and fluid style you’ll find throughout Windows 8.

3. And their final goal was for the new logo to be humble, yet confident. Welcoming you in with a slight tilt in perspective and when you change your color, the logo changes to reflect you. It is a “Personal” Computer after all.

Let’s look back at a few of the versions along the way.

Windows 1.0

Few remember the original Windows logo, yet we found it both refreshing and inspiring in relation to the work we have been doing on the Metro style design visuals. Using simple lines and clear straight forward concept, this logo reminded us of what a great and evocative name we have with “windows”.

 

Windows 3.1

For many of us this was the image in our mind when we think of past Windows logos. The now classic window shape and the introduction of the four colors were hallmarks of the Windows brand for many years to come. The introduction of the “waving effect” gives the logo a sense of motion. This logo would be the basis of the Windows versions throughout the 1990s.

 

 

 

 

Windows XP

The next major incarnation of the logo came with the release of Windows XP. What has come to be known as the “Windows flag” is a cleaner more sophisticated mark than its predecessors. The version that populated the lower left hand corner of Windows PCs next to the word “Start” also gained a sense of materiality (plastic?) and a 3D effect from the rich gradients and shadows.

 

 

Windows Vista

The Windows Vista release marked the beginning of the AERO design aesthetic in Windows with a key component of the interface being the “AERO glass” effect. Replacing the green Start button was the round glass-like button with a now flattened version of the “flag” from Windows XP. Internally, this icon became known as the “pearl”. You can see the intricate lighting effects of the faux glass. In many ways signaling just how powerful of a rendering engine the PC had become. This version of the logo was largely unchanged for Windows 7.

Apple Releases OS X Mountain Lion Developer Preview with Over 100 New Features

Apple Releases OS X Mountain Lion Developer Preview with Over 100 New Features

 

 

 

CUPERTINO, California—February 16, 2012—Apple today released a developer preview of OS X Mountain Lion, the ninth major release of the world’s most advanced operating system, which brings popular apps and features from iPad to the Mac and accelerates the pace of OS X innovation. Mountain Lion introduces Messages, Notes, Reminders and Game Center to the Mac, as well as Notification Center, Share Sheets, Twitter integration and AirPlay Mirroring. Mountain Lion is the first OS X release built with iCloud in mind for easy setup and integration with apps. The developer preview of Mountain Lion also introduces Gatekeeper, a revolutionary security feature that helps keep you safe from malicious software by giving you complete control over what apps are installed on your Mac. The preview release of Mountain Lion is available to Mac Developer Program members starting today. Mac users will be able to upgrade to Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store™ in late summer 2012.

“The Mac is on a roll, growing faster than the PC for 23 straight quarters, and with Mountain Lion things get even better,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. “The developer preview of Mountain Lion comes just seven months after the incredibly successful release of Lion and sets a rapid pace of development for the world’s most advanced personal computer operating system.”
The developer preview of Mountain Lion features the all new Messages app which replaces iChat and allows you to send unlimited messages, high-quality photos and videos directly from your Mac to another Mac or iOS device. Messages will continue to support AIM, Jabber, Yahoo! Messenger and Google Talk. Starting today Lion users can download a beta of Messages from www.apple.com, and the final version will be available with Mountain Lion. Reminders and Notes help you create and track your to-dos across all your devices. Game Center lets you personalize your Mac gaming experience, find new games and challenge friends to play live multiplayer games, whether they’re on a Mac, iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.

Mountain Lion presents notifications in an elegant new way, and Notification Center provides easy access to alerts from Mail, Calendar, Messages, Reminders, system updates and third party apps. System-wide Share Sheets make it easy to share links, photos and videos directly from Apple and third party apps. Twitter is integrated throughout Mountain Lion so you can sign on once and tweet directly from Safari, Quick Look, Photo Booth, Preview and third party apps. Mountain Lion also introduces AirPlay Mirroring, an easy way to wirelessly send a secure 720p video stream of what’s on your Mac to an HDTV using Apple TV.
More than 100 million users have iCloud accounts, and Mountain Lion makes it easier than ever to set up iCloud and access documents across your devices. Mountain Lion uses your Apple ID to automatically set up Contacts, Mail, Calendar, Messages, FaceTime and Find My Mac. The new iCloud Documents pushes any changes to all your devices so documents are always up to date, and a new API helps developers make document-based apps work with iCloud.

Gatekeeper is a revolutionary new security feature that gives you control over which apps can be downloaded and installed on your Mac. You can choose to install apps from any source, just as you do on a Mac today, or you can use the safer default setting to install apps from the Mac App Store, along with apps from developers that have a unique Developer ID from Apple. For maximum security, you can set Gatekeeper to only allow apps from the Mac App Store to be downloaded and installed.
Mountain Lion also has features specifically designed to support Chinese users, including significant enhancements to the Chinese input method and the option to select Baidu search in Safari. Mountain Lion makes it easy to set up Contacts, Mail and Calendar with top email service providers QQ, 126 and 163. Chinese users can also upload video via Share Sheets directly to leading video websites Youku and Tudou, and system-wide support for Sina weibo makes microblogging easy.

Hundreds of new APIs give developers access to new core technologies and enhanced features within OS X. The Game Kit APIs tap into the same services as Game Center on iOS, making it possible to create multiplayer games that work across Mac, iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. A new graphics infrastructure underpins OpenGL and OpenCL and implements GLKit, first introduced in iOS 5, to make it easier to create OpenGL apps. Using Core Animation in Cocoa apps is easier than ever, and new video APIs deliver modern 64-bit replacements for low-level QuickTime APIs. Enhanced Multi-Touch™ APIs give developers double-tap zoom support and access to the system-wide lookup gesture. Kernel ASLR improves security through enhanced mitigation against buffer overflow attacks.

Apple designs Macs, the best personal computers in the world, along with OS X, iLife, iWork and professional software. Apple leads the digital music revolution with its iPods and iTunes online store. Apple has reinvented the mobile phone with its revolutionary iPhone and App Store, and is defining the future of mobile media and computing devices with iPad.

UPDATE: Everything's normal now.

Apple Win.......dows

I have been loyal to Microsoft since I started with computer. I started with Disk Operating System to Microsoft Windows 95, 98, 98SE, 2000, Millenium, 2003 Server, XP, Vista, 7 and 8. But When I got my first apple device, Ipod Touch 2nd Gen, I was gradually converted to Macintosh or just Mac OS. Differentiating the two OS Platform, I know Microsoft Windows has the widest range of application that we can run. Also, this is the platform where Applications that we are accustomed are running.

As I use my Mac at home, I am hindered to different things such as installing favorite application and others. We have few choices for Mac Apps and I got Apple's message that most of the apps that are available for Windows are not really needed and Essential Applications are indeed made available in Mac. I was able to survive my daily computing at home using my Mac and have no complains with it. Though I cant play any games that are only available in Windows platform, I am fine with my mac.

I also have my Lenovo S10-3T netvertible tablet which I converted to hackintosh Mac OS Snow Leopard and have only my Company laptop for Windows Computing.

This is my transition to Mac platform. Do you want to be converted to Mac OS platform?

Fitness First Downgraded to Hot Teas, how about Hypogly prones?

Fitness First downgraded to hot teas then how do we deal with hypoglycemia?

When I applied my membership to Fitness First first I asked my self why do they offer unlimited/refillable soft drinks in the lobby area. Then my Personal Trainer that time informed me that the soft drinks or Carbonated Drinks offer higher sugar content which will be a great first aid to anyone who experience Hypoglycemia...

Hypoglycemia or low blood sugar is an abnormally diminished content of glucose in the blood. The term literally means "under-sweet blood". It can produce a variety of symptoms and effects but the principal problems arise from an inadequate supply of glucose to the brain, resulting in impairment of function (neuroglycopenia). Effects can range from mild dysphoria to more serious issues such as seizures, unconsciousness, and (rarely) permanent brain damage or death.

Remember the Movie Harry Potter when Harry faded due to Dementor? It was the Chocolate that was given to him as first aid. It was given to restore previously used or lacked energy.

Since Soft drinks or Carbonated Drinks are liquid fused with sugar, these are absorb by the blood faster compared to solid sugars.

Now that we are missing those carbonated drinks health benefits from the gym, we can now turn back to a simple sugar boost to help aid Hypoglycemia or the lacking of sugar. If you feel that you are weakening after strenuous work out, go ahead and dissolve 2-3 spoonful of sugar in a glass of water and drink it. Though it is not that highly recommended, since Table sugar are not yet in its simplest form, it will still help you regain those lost energy but it may take a while compared to already fused sugar with carbonated drinks.

Before doing the above, it is highly recommended that you seek the opinion of your Doctors since every case is a genuine case.
