Trichomoniasis is an
infection with a tiny parasite spread by sexual contact (sexually transmitted infection (STI)). It is sometimes
called a Trichomonas infection or trich (say "trick").
Both men
and women can get a trich infection, but it is more commonly detected in women. Trich in
pregnant women can cause problems with the pregnancy.
Trich is caused by a one-cell
Many women and most men do
not have any symptoms of trich. But when you do have symptoms, they usually
start within 1 week after you were infected.
In women, symptoms include:
In men, symptoms include:
The time from contact with the trich parasite until you
get symptoms can range from 5 to 28 days.1 This is
called the
incubation period. You can spread trich to others
during this time and until you finish the prescribed medicine. You should avoid
all sexual contact until you finish taking your medicine and the symptoms are
Your doctor can tell if
you have trich by asking about your past health and doing a physical exam. He
or she may order lab tests to find the parasite that causes trich. In women,
the parasite may sometimes be found during a routine
Pap test. This test is done as part of a regular
pelvic exam.
Your doctor will prescribe
medicine called metronidazole or tinidazole to treat trich. These kill the
parasite that causes the infection. The medicine is usually taken by mouth as
pills, tablets, or capsules. Medicine given in the vagina will not cure
It is important to treat trich. Treatment can:
Trich is spread when a person has unprotected sex with an infected
partner. Some people carry the parasite that causes trich, but they do not have
symptoms. So it is important to practice safer sex to prevent getting trich.
Using a condom each time you have sex may reduce your chance of getting an
In rare cases, it may be possible to get trich from contact
with personal items, such as a wet towel, that a person with trich has just
used. The trich parasite cannot live on objects for long, so it isn't usually
spread this way.
Trich may be spread from a mother to her baby
during a vaginal delivery, but this is also rare.
Symptoms of a
trich infection in young children may be a sign of sexual abuse. They need to
be checked by a doctor.

Trichomoniasis (trich) is caused by a
parasite (a one-celled protozoan) that most commonly
is sexually transmitted from an infected person.
women, trich organisms usually infect the vagina and cervix,
bladder, and glands in the genital area, such as the
Bartholin's and Skene's glands.
In men,
infections develop in the urethra or under the foreskin of an uncircumcised
Up to 50 out of 100 women and men infected with
trichomoniasis (trich) do not have symptoms.2 If symptoms develop, they usually appear within 1 week after a person is infected. But symptoms can develop months later.
Symptoms may be worse during pregnancy
or right before or after a menstrual period. Symptoms in women may
Men rarely have symptoms but still need
treatment. If symptoms are present, they may include:
Trich can have symptoms similar to those of other
sexually transmitted infections such as
gonorrhea or
(trich) infection is spread when you have unprotected sex with an infected partner.
Many women and most men do not have any symptoms of trich. If symptoms appear,
they usually start within 1 week after a person is infected. But it may take up to a month for symptoms to appear. In most cases, trich should be treated to prevent
transmitting this sexually transmitted infection (STI) to others and to prevent some problems that can happen if
you are pregnant. You and your sex partner(s) should be treated for trich at
the same time, to avoid reinfecting each other.
Trich during pregnancy raises the risk of premature rupture of membranes
(PROM) and premature delivery. Treating the infection doesn't appear to reduce
this risk.3 If you are pregnant and have trich, talk
to your doctor about the pros and cons of treatment.
Trich may be
transmitted from a mother to her baby during a vaginal delivery, but this is
Those most affected by
trichomoniasis (trich) are sexually active women ages 16
to 35. It is thought that 1 out of 5
women in this age group will become infected at some time.4
Behaviors that will increase your risk of
getting trich include:
You can get other STIs, such as
HIV, and
syphilis, at the same time you get a trich infection.
If one STI is diagnosed, testing for other STIs should be done so that all
infections can be treated at the same time.
Some infections that
can be spread through sexual contact, such as the
human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, are
life-threatening. Studies show that trich infection may increase the risk of
transmitting HIV infection.5 Health professionals
around the world are concerned about the increased risk of trichomoniasis and
Women who have trich may also be at risk for other vaginal
infections. About 20% of women with trich also have a
yeast infection and many also have
bacterial vaginosis.6
Call your doctor immediately if you:
Call your doctor for an appointment within 1
week if you:
Watchful waiting is a period of time during
which you and your doctor observe your symptoms or condition
without using medical treatment. Watchful waiting isn't appropriate if you
think you have trichomoniasis (trich). In most cases, trich should be treated
to prevent transmitting this sexually transmitted infection to others and to
prevent some problems that can happen if you are pregnant.
Note: Trich during pregnancy raises the risk of premature
rupture of membranes (PROM) and premature delivery. Treating the infection doesn't appear to reduce this risk.3 If you are pregnant
and have trich, talk to your doctor about the pros and cons of
Health professionals who can diagnose and treat a
trichomoniasis (trich) infection include:

(trich) is diagnosed by using:
People can get other
sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as
gonorrhea or
syphilis, at the same time they get a trich infection.
If one STI is diagnosed, you will likely be tested for other STIs so that all
infections can be treated at the same time.
In women, the trich
parasite may also be identified by a routine
Pap test done as part of a regular gynecologic exam.
Expert opinions vary on the accuracy of a Pap test for diagnosing trich. But if
a Pap test shows trich, your doctor will probably talk to you about treatment
or maybe other tests.
(trich) is treated with an oral
antiprotozoal medicine, such as metronidazole or
tinidazole. The medicine is taken either as a single dose or as
multiple doses.
Your sex
partner(s) should be treated at the same time you are being treated. This increases
the cure rate and reduces the possibility of further transmission or
reinfection. Sexual intercourse should be avoided during treatment until
symptoms are gone and until partners have been treated. It is
best to avoid sex for 1 week after treatment with a single dose of
metronidazole. Male partners may not have symptoms but still need

doctor about the pros and cons of treatment.
suppositories and creams aren't effective in curing
trich, but they may reduce discomfort and swelling in the genital area.
If trich goes untreated or isn't properly treated,
complications can develop, such as
pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women or
conditions that contribute to
infertility in men.6
Take measures to reduce your risk of
becoming infected with
trichomoniasis (trich) or other
sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as
HIV, or
syphilis. You can also reduce the risk of transmitting
an STI to your sex partner(s).
Preventing an STI is easier than
treating an infection after it occurs.
Using condoms may reduce the risk of
becoming infected with an STI. Condoms must be put on before beginning any
sexual contact. Use condoms with a new partner until you are certain he or she
does not have an STI. It is important that
you use a condom properly to prevent the risk of trich infection.
Even if you are using a birth
control method to prevent pregnancy, you may wish to use female condoms to reduce your
risk of getting an STI.
There is no home treatment for
trichomoniasis (trich). But you can lower your chances
of getting trich or other
sexually transmitted infections (STIs) by making careful
choices about sex. For example, you can make sure to always use condoms during
sex. For more information, see the topic
Safer Sex.
Trich is not usually
transmitted by contact with objects. But avoid using objects
such as washcloths or wet towels that a person with trich may have used.
It is safe for a woman to use tampons while she has a trich infection,
but it may be uncomfortable.
Avoid douching. It does not help
relieve symptoms, and it can even make them worse.
(trich) is usually treated with a medicine called metronidazole. The cure rate
in treating trich using metronidazole is 90% to 95%.5
Tinidazole has been shown to be this useful too.
Antiprotozoals, such as metronidazole or tinidazole,
are medicines that kill the tiny
parasite that causes trich.
Trich during pregnancy raises
the risk of premature rupture of membranes (PROM) and premature delivery.
Treating the infection doesn't appear to reduce this risk.3 If you are pregnant and have trich, talk to your doctor about
the pros and cons of treatment.
Metronidazole vaginal
suppositories or creams aren't recommended, because
oral metronidazole is much more effective. Vaginal medicines cure trich in less
than 50% of cases.5
Metronidazole vaginal
gel, which is used to treat
bacterial vaginosis, is not recommended for treatment
of trich.7

Published at Wednesday, March 14th, 2018 - 15:11:56 PM. Golf Club. By Vignette Beaule.
Women's clubs are designed for a more petite frame, as are junior golf sets. Always choose the set of clubs that is most comfortable and matches your swing no matter what they are called. Women should always purchase lady's clubs.
Golf Clubs for kids, for ages 3 through 10, were introduced to the marketplace after the cut-down adult clubs failed to make golf fun for the little people. The old-fashioned cut-downs were too heavy, too stiff and made it nearly impossible for kids to perfect a proper golf swing, actually hit the ball, and win. Kids' golf club manufacturers include such groups as the U.S. Kids Golf Foundation, a nonprofit organization aiming to make golf fun for kids and their families, several name brand dealers, and those manufacturers who may be less well-known. Let's take a look at each of these to find out what they offer by way of kids golf clubs.

A custom control button on the shooting screen activates the mode, and suitable settings for the shooting conditions, including Intelligent IS and more, are automatically selected. Simply pick up the camcorder and start recording, knowing capture will be of high quality. Videos shot in Baby Mode are automatically saved into a dedicated Baby Album so they won't get lost among your other videos. You can then view the Baby Album chronologically for a seamless way to relive and share your baby's growth with friends and relatives.
When you're shooting in Baby Mode, the camcorder's Pre-Record (Pre REC) function is always on. This places the camcorder in a stand-by "pre-roll" mode, where it continuously records three seconds of video to memory before you even press the record button. When you start recording, the additional video is recorded too, so it's easy to capture the baby's "firsts" and other special moments.
Touch Decoration in Baby Mode includes stamps to mark each video with your baby's current height and weight. And with a single registration of the baby's birth date, the camcorder will automatically calculate the number of days old and stamp videos accordingly, creating a diary of developmental milestones for years to come. Thanks to the number of decorations available on the VIXIA HF R700, it's easy to make a fun video commemorating your baby's special moments. The camcorder's other Touch Decoration options, including your own drawings, captions, animations and more, are fully available in Baby Mode, and all can easily be appended to previously shot video as well.
High-capacity BP-727 battery pack helps facilitate extended shooting time so you can capture important moments.The VIXIA HF R700 camcorder is powered by a high capacity Battery Pack BP-727. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery not only lets you shoot for long periods, but features intelligent technology that accurately indicates remaining battery time for extra insurance that you won't miss an important shooting opportunity.
Zoom Framing Assist setting is available in Auto or Manual mode, making it easier to accurately track and capture subjects while they are moving.The versatile 57x zoom on the VIXIA HF R700 camcorder is indispensable for shooting long distance subjects without intruding onto the scene or interrupting the action. But sometimes it can be tricky to keep such a distant subject in the frame. That's where Zoom Framing Assist comes in. When you're shooting at the long end of the zoom and you've lost your subject, simply press an icon on the touch screen and the zoom magnification will automatically decrease, making it easy for you to locate the subject and zoom in on it again. Now available in Auto or Manual mode, Zoom Framing Assist helps keep your subject in the frame.
Intelligent IS automatically chooses from four different modes to help optimize image stabilization for the shooting condition.Intelligent IS makes it easy to shoot clear, sharply focused video, even in situations that typically cause camera shake. The Intelligent IS system analyzes the shooting situation for you, then automatically switches to the image stabilization method ideal for producing sharp, steady video. Four IS systems cover the gamut of shooting situations. Dynamic IS corrects minor movement and the shaking caused by walking while shooting. Macro IS delivers incredibly steady close-up shots. Powered IS comes into play when you're using the VIXIA HF R700 camcorder's powerful zoom, correcting shake that can occur in telephoto shots. Tripod Mode stops IS when the camcorder is stationary.
Audio Scene Select allows easy operation and setup for outstanding audio.Audio Scene Select on the VIXIA HF R700 camcorder allows you to easily capture clear, high-quality audio with a choice of five audio modes to choose from based on your shooting situation: Standard, Music, Speech, Forest and Birds and Noise Suppression.

Audio settings can also be custom set to meet your shooting needs.
Smart AUTO helps make shooting great videos easy by intelligently selecting the proper settings for the camcorder.Smart AUTO lets you capture clear, bright, well-focused video while the camcorder takes care of the details. The system recognizes 38 shooting situations based on numerous factors, then automatically chooses the optimal settings for the situation. When you shoot a nearby subject in telephoto zoom mode, Auto Tele Macro gives your video the high-end artistic effect of a well-focused subject against a beautifully blurred background.

You can record slow motion images at speeds down to 0.5x - a great feature for checking out your tennis swing, or creating videos with cinema-like expression. Fast motion now tops out at an amazing 1200x (recording 20 hours of action as a 1-minute scene), for eye-popping action movie-like effects.
Five Cinema-Look Filter effects give video a cinematic feel and can be applied during or after shooting for your convenience.The VIXIA HF R700 camcorder allows you to create cinematic looks with the use of Cinema-Look Filters. This feature offers a choice of seven varied built-in adjustable filters, which give the look of a variety of cinematic styles by compensating for the color, gamma and other aspects of the image's quality. The looks can be previewed in the LCD display while shooting, and also applied post-capture for additional convenience and versatility.
Highlight Priority Mode helps to deliver an expansive range of colors and tones virtually consistent with how they're seen by the naked eye.To capture highly saturated, realistic colors and to convey gradation characteristics as perceived by the eye, the VIXIA HF R700 camcorder has a new Highlight Priority mode that achieves effects similar to HDR modes in other camcorders. By reducing the mid- to high-brightness compression of the standard gamma mode, the Highlight Priority mode helps to prevent loss of detail in high brightness areas. Designed for display on a bright LCD TV, videos captured in Highlight Priority mode should be shown at a high brightness setting to help ensure accurate portrayal of the effect.

Several weeks ago a friend said,
"My kids are probably excited about winter coming. It means I'll start doing craft projects and reading to them again, instead of just yelling at them to go back to their movie so mama can work outside some more."
The words could as easily have come out of my mouth. Although there are plenty of good wholesome times when the kids join me outside, helping with my projects or playing blessedly independent games alongside, there are as many times when I am out working in the yard alone, occasionally checking for their glazed faces through the dining room window.
Although we don't get typically get snow until November, in many ways winter here in Cordova begins in September (if not August) with monsoon style rains and hurricane force wind. Not easy weather to work in the yard.
As you may remember from my last post, this was the first summer in a long time that I had tried to take on any significant projects, and I definitely bit off more than I could chew. When the weather called a halt to my projects, and the total sum of my summer's accomplishments became evident, I was forced to accept that I hadn't gotten even half of what I'd planned to do done.
After the disappointment wore off, I have to admit to a feeling of relief. True I hadn't fulfilled my great expectations, but I had gotten something done, I had moved forward. And now, with winter setting in, I could finally let go those expectations. After a summer of feeling perpetually, almost frantically behind, I could finally relax.
For the last month I have been stretching with pleasure into the simple routine of playing with kids, cleaning the house, and cooking dinner. The luxurious feeling that nothing of import needs to happen, I can allow my days to be filled by the basic maintenance of family life.
I'll get bored soon enough. But for now, my kids are reaping the benefits.
With the extra time of early winter, and in the anticipation of it's long totality, I have been making some good stuff for indoor play. It started with turning the cubby hole under our stairs into The Bat Cave.
We all have electronics sitting around unused in a box upstairs, right? We think we need to keep them for later, but really, they are already obsolete. The kids love clomping on this old chattery keyboard, the "monitor" behind it is a framed printout. And the old phone on the right was an instant hit after I spray painted it gold!
With the bat cave under my belt, I was motivated to finally make the indoor "playground" I've wanted for years. And it was so easy, I am kicking myself. All I did was nail a good 2×4 up across our wide hall (make sure you nail into studs though!) and hang some ropes down from it. There are two long ropes to hold a swing, and two shorter ropes to hold a hanging bar (which is pulled out of the way in this photo).
The climbing rope, on the right, had been there for awhile, and is no more than rope through an eye bolt. Although the rest of this playground needs an open hallway to make set-up easy, the climbing rope just needs a wall with a findable stud. Check out this youtube for how to make a simple harness.
I cut two sizes of 2×4 for the swing seats, so that there can be someone swinging and someone using the hanging bar, or move the ropes about a bit and fit in the two-kid swing for extra fun.
After the thrill of an indoor playground leveled out, I made this play kitchen out of a big cardboard box. I was surprised at how excited the kids were, my 4YO boy couldn't stop gushing and he played on it for hours that first day.
And yes, my boy likes to wear pink and purple striped tights. A lot. Gotta problem with that? He also turns everything which can be held in his hands into a gun, including his penis, so I'm sure he's quite healthy.

BArT Adds Pittsfield to Charter, Raises Enrollment Cap
BArT students work in the school garden behind the school last spring. The charter school has expanded its charter to Pittsfield, which has been supplying more and more of its students.
ADAMS, Mass. — Berkshire Arts & Technology Public Charter School has been given approval to increase its enrollment and include the city of Pittsfield in its charter.
The move will help shorten a waitlist while putting the school on stronger economic footing, according to Executive Director Julia Bowen. The school applied for state approval in August and received it on Tuesday.
The enrollment cap on the Grades 6-through-12 school will increase from 308 to 363, which should to reduce a waiting list and even out enrollment.
Last year some 40 students who applied were not able to attend because of the enrollment cap. While the increase of 55 students would seem to eliminate that, Bowen said there are 30 percent more applicants this year than last.
"We had to limit our enrollment in sixth grade," Bowen said, because once the school accepts a student, he or she can continue into the upper grades. "We want to be able to smooth out the enrollment."
The increased number of students will not likely require the school to hire more teachers but it will increase class sizes. Currently classes are about 12 to 15 students but the additional children will require more councilors and paraprofessionals.
More students also means more money and the school will be looking to refinance its capital debt for a better interest rate and possibly a "modest" expansion. Bowen said the school currently has one room that serves as the gymnasium, cafeteria and auditorium and that school officials would like to build separate areas for those uses. The building had been an inn and restaurant before being transformed into offices and then the school.
"I'm not thinking about more kids, it is how we better serve the ones we have," Bowen said of the school's future growth.
The second part of the state approval was the expansion into Pittsfield. Bowen said the school has been seeing a decrease in the number of Northern Berkshire students while the number of Pittsfield students has increased. Enrollment into the school is by lottery and students from chartered areas have first dibs. Nearly half of waitlist last year was from Pittsfield, while 35 percent of enrolled students were from Pittsfield.
"We've been seeing more and more Pittsfield students," Bowen said, adding that half of the applications for next year are also from Pittsfield.
Including Pittsfield will give those students an equal chance at getting into the school. But the move will not exclude a higher number of Northern Berkshire students because of the enrollment increase, she said.
"In effect, it won't have a tremendous impact on Pittsfield or us," Bowen said. "It's a vote of confidence in our program."
The lengthy application included the argument that the program was good enough to expand, she said, so expanding is more of a compliment. If a municipality contributed more than 20 percent of the population to a charter school, the district must apply to expand it.
Pittsfield becomes the 10th municipality to be charted into the school — the others being Adams, Cheshire, Clarksburg, Florida, Hancock, Lanesborough, North Adams, Savoy and Williamstown.
The charter renewal is in effect for the next school year and is good for five years.

Google releases YouTube Capture App for iOS
Posted by Jason Diaz Categories: Entertainment, New Apps, Video Apps, Google, Free Apps,
Less than two weeks after Google updated its YouTube app for iOS that added universal binary support for the iPhone 5 and iPad, the company has released YouTube Capture. The app is dedicated to video recording and has the ability of simultaneously sharing via YouTube, Google+, Facebook, and Twitter. The app has some video editing features like color correction, trimming, and the ability to add music tracks. Apparently, there are some reports that the app only uploads in 720p even if some iDevices can shoot in 1080p. Also, some users might be unaware that iOS has the integrated functionality to share/upload videos to YouTube from within the Photos App and in full 1080p glory. Unfortunately, abeit for a few amount of users, the app isn't optimized for the iPad's screen. Here's a list of features with YouTube Capture.
Film and share videos with YouTube Capture:
- Easy, fast recording
- Touch up videos with color correction, stabilization, trimming, and music tracks
- Upload to YouTube, Google+, Facebook, and Twitter simultaneously
YouTube Capture is available for iPhone and iPod touch.

Google Maps now available for iPhone
Posted by Jason Diaz Categories: Navigation, New Apps, Google, Free Apps,
Google has finally reincarnated its map offering and is free of charge in Apple's App store for your consumption. The app promises features that the fabled old stock maps didn't offer like voice-guided turn-by-turn navigation. It has been said by AllThingsD that Apple chose to do its own mapping solution because Google wouldn't offer that specific feature for iOS. My initial impression of the app is that it is visually appealing, and we are glad to see that Street View is present, along with public transit info. The most important thing is that the new Google Maps is vector-based, so navigating the map should be buttery smooth. Google reps have admitted that it's even better than maps for Android. Here's the run down of the features in the Google Maps reboot:

YouTube for iOS finally updated for iPhone 5, brings AirPlay back
Posted by Jason Diaz Categories: Entertainment, App Updates, Google, Free Apps,
Saying "finally" never gets old, especially when used appropriately: the YouTube for iOS app from Google is now, finally, updated to handle iPhone 5 4-inch display, as well as the two size flavors of iPad. The update fixes a head scratcher with AirPlay: Google for "reasons unknown" deciding to limit AirPlay functionality when the app first launched, even though AirPlay is on by default whenever you code an app that has any video functionally. Here is a list of more features of version 1.1.04126. Hopefully I didn't misplace a decimal point.
- Optimized for iPad and iPhone 5
- Stream videos with AirPlay
- Tap logo to open your Guide of channels
- Add and remove videos from your playlists

Google releases Gmail 2.0 for iOS
Posted by Jason Diaz Categories: Productivity, App Updates, Google, Free Apps,
Google has finally released version 2.0 of its native Gmail client app for iOS. It has much requested features and a complete resign that is cleaner than before. TechCrunch columnist MG Siegler says the app had no influence from the Sparrow acquisition, which is surprising since version 2.0's UI looks decent. Here is a list of the updated features.
- Multiple account support
- App redesigned with a new, cleaner look
- Search predictions as you type
Hopefully the team turns its attention to the YouTube app for iOS which is sorely needing a clean revamp that also supports iPhone 5 and the iPad. Fingers crossed.

Economic Policy: What Has Changed in 25 Years?
WSJ's Jerry Seib and David Wessel take a look at the past 25 years in economic policy and what may come in the near future.
This transcript has been automatically generated and may not be 100% accurate.
the ... Jerry Sithe ... Wall Street are ... joined today by my colleague longtime colleague David Wessel who sadly for all of us of the last return was leaving to ... run the Texas Center for fiscal and monetary policy at Brookings and you think this is can be treated as the spirit happily for us will still be associated with one another to my right for us ... up but it seemed like a good time to stop and look back on me The within a quarter century for you ... of covering economic policy in Washington ... a lot has changed I was thinking today about ... some the things of that change was no internet when this period started ... out the twirl of Morey by inflation then deflation ... aam in the idea that the U S could become energy independent body with them laughed off stage if you talk about that twenty five years that's a lot of change what surprised you the most uncovering economic policies the last quarter ... I think that that I'd take an election in nineteen eighty seven Ronald Reagan was president ... and ... we've worked many fewer hours because in and it didn't require us to work twenty four seven and the idea that we'd be doing video at the Wall Street Journal I mean we did the right pictures ... on ... one thing that struck me those those reflecting on this is that the American middle class ... has done so pouring ... in that period that is you may remember ... our colleague Bob Davis and I wrote a book in the late nineties in which we were very optimistic about the American middle class ... seemed us that the potential of ... computer technology the benefits of globalization ... with lists ... of the economy ... and we expected the inequality in the US to begin to narrow ... that somehow more people would go to college and there would be ... that would narrow the gap between winners and losers ... and that really hasn't happened ... the census tells us that since I came to Washington ... the income in money ... before taxes ... the typical family has only gone up four percent adjusted for inflation since nineteen eighty seven ... now if you factor in changes in family size and government benefits and stuff ... the Congressional Budget Office tells us it's gone up quite a bit more than that ... but still it's been a disappointing twenty five years ... for tickle e since the late nineties for the American ... Hustle why what's with that I'm sure there many explanations were the most important ones I think no one is that the average rate of growth in the US is been disappointing ... in the nineties that look like we're on the cusp of a big boom in active ... four percent growth the rare things like ... and the second thing is that growth that we have had ... has disproportionally gone to the top tier of Americans ... some two people with the most education ... a lot to people and finance ... I and so ... the the goodies have not been evenly divided ... so to the extent that we have had growth and we have since nineteen eighty seven ... that prosperity is not likely it seems for a layman's point of view that the advance the March of technology is actually exacerbated the problem rather than racket that prompts a summit in Hess ... basically it's very hard to make a decent wage working with your muscles ... much more requires working with computers ... if you go to a factory today ... they have as much computer power either fingerprint fingertips ... as a software programmer did quarter century ago ... I think it is important I know I'm not of the school that says the life is worse than it was nineteen eighty seven ... I mean ... the typical American family has much cheaper technology they have ... most likely the broadband in their homes are likely to have cell phone so they get in touch with their kids at all times ... which you know our parents could well be re did say that and and and you know the the greatest cure ... AIDS are ... avoiding heart disease or to other diseases so though lots of non monetary things that matter ... but ... the actual increase in incomes has not been great ... I also recall nineteen eighty seven as being of that period in which the Japanese were going in their lunch ... but didn't quite happen what was wrong there for that to rise well it's a blessing because we always seem to have some country that we're afraid of ... and you're ready Japan was gonna make everything and we were going to be basically stopped in Corning's May Japan and they basically ... screwed up ... it turns out that the Japanese are not very good innovators they know how to make things very efficiently but the whole ... software revolution the development of all that incredible with stuff ... that hasn't been their strong suit ... plus their society turns out to be very rich ... too rigid for the modern economy the embrace very brittle ... aam ... but what's replacing courses China ... so if you and I had been sitting here in nineteen eighty seven ... it would have been unthinkable that China was gonna have ... three decades of ten percent growth every year ... I recently saw a picture of Shanghai circa nineteen eighty five ... any it looks like I'm ... you know as a caricature of Hoboken New Jersey without the skyscrapers I mean ... it's just like ... a lot of low warehouses buildings with a couple of nice buildings that were built in the twenties ... and if you look at it now it looks almost like a futuristic world's fair of all these spiders with ... neon lights and stuff ... it's a remarkable transformation in China in a remarkable ... period of time remarkably short career capsule in in its unimpressive ... and in what we know by human history that any society has lifted so many people ... now they have ... the same problems and we talk about inequality in United States ... in my eye and travel in China very much but the ... the glaring ... gap between ... migrant workers in Shanghai to live in tenements that much bigger than this it's this studio ... and people live in May and Dollar condos and ride Mercedes and BMW is striking ... and I think it will hurt them unless they can ... Mr. one final question about the domestic economy and use the one time in the last twenty five years reading about the Fed ... said as institution what the Fed does ... does the Fed become a more important part of the American economy in the last quarter century yes ... we used to think that the Fed had a very simple job ... to move the lever up interest rates a little bit ... and especially after Paul Volcker when they get inflation down ... it seemed like I just tiny course corrections would make it work ... and we get a real taste of ... how successful the state could be a nineteen eighty seven we had the stock market crash in ... Queensland flooded with the economy with money and get passed ... and then we had the stock market bubble of high tech bubble and early to thousands ... same thing Greenspan managed to steer around that ... nine eleven they did whatever it took to keep the markets functioning ... and so it seemed like they were ... almost an autopilot ... and then while comes that ... the global financial crisis and suddenly the Fed is the only game in town ... so I think the Fed has become much more important is an instrument of economic policy ... because we now know that ... they have to ward off depression which we thought was ancient history ... because they're very agile in a political system which is anything but until ... then because they've been given under the Dodd Frank law and other things ... a lot of responsibility for financial stability to prevent the next crisis ... which is the much more power than they ... did the rest of the political system work better with that be less necessary in other words if the people who ... make decisions about fiscal policy Congress did their jobs better and more efficiently with the Fed be less important or is it ... in other words is in by default that the Fed has become this and I'm ... that mindset is yes and no ... you you can have a political system that is the only regulator of the banking system is also going to have global banks ... and will to learn that banks like Lehman ... and Bear Stearns ... and Merrill Lynch which was previously covered by the safety net gonna have to be ... covered the Fed is gonna have to import role ... but in the monetary spouses Center sing all the buying of bonds and interest rates ... absolutely the Fed is compensating for really counterproductive ... budget ... policy and ... has a lot of burden on them and they're criticize Foreign ... and some people think they should of done it ... Ben burn Anqi the chairman says my job is to do the best I can for the economy ... in the light of the stupid things ... as you get to this point view of an optimist or pessimist ... I'm very ... worried about the near term ... I think the next few years about to be very rocky ... but you know sometimes I speak to audiences of people who read my books are ... Wall Street Journal audiences and ... at the end I always find myself worried and I left them with the impression that I'm pessimistic ... about the long run future the United States and I ... usually end by saying that ... you and I have kids in our twenties ... and is really really hard to be pessimistic in America when you meet ... our kids upper middle class college educated kids and their peers ... that they don't seem to have gotten the message that ... were declining society ... they're just getting on with it ... and ... I think that's our best hope it sounds kind of ... mushy ... but you know ... people are intending software out there in Silicom Valley ... then I don't understand that I know will change lies in the decade ... and there's no other country in the world has that come out ... we'll try can also Hutchison a good luck there ... continue to read David Wessel ... won the beest dot com even after January first this is Jerry side ...

The act of debating debates means we must be in the height of the political season. Debates give candidates something their money can't buy and that's free TV time.
And today we finally have word of a debate in Southern California. But this one won't feature the candidates for Governor.
U.S. Senate candidates Barbara Boxer and Carly Fiorina have agreed to a second debate on September 29 on a Pasadena public radio station. The debate will be streamed on line.
In their only TV debate earlier this month, both candidates were on their game. Fiorina attacked Boxer's record and promised that her business background would translate to jobs for Californians. Boxer countered that a woman who fired thousands of employees and outsourced other jobs overseas as Hewlett Packard's CEO could not be trusted to stand up for workers.
Which woman won is subject to a great deal of partisan interpretation. By any measure, it was good political theater. Therein lies a potential problem for the Gubernatorial candidates. Can Jerry Brown or Meg Whitman match the stage presence and the issue focus of the women running for the Senate?
They''ll have at least four chances to measure up -- or not.
The three TV debates are set for September 28 at U-C Davis, October 12 at Dominican University of California in San Rafael, and now October 2 in Fresno, an exchange which will be aired at 4 p.m. on a Saturday. A forth radio-only debate is scheduled for October 5.
It's possible if not likely there will be a fifth debate. Jerry Brown continues to push for at least one debate in Southern California. And why not? There's a question the candidates can debate.

Do activity monitors help adults with stroke become more physically active?
Review question
We reviewed the available evidence regarding the effectiveness of commercially available, wearable devices (for example pedometers, Fitbit, and Garmin watches) and smartphone applications (for example Runkeeper, Fitbit application) for increasing physical activity levels for people with stroke.
Promoting physical activity is an important health intervention for people with stroke. The association between health and physical activity is well known. People with stroke face additional challenges to engage in sufficient physical activity for health benefits, and are often very inactive. Increasing physical activity levels in stroke survivors in both hospital and community settings is important.
Providing feedback to stroke survivors about their physical activity levels is one strategy that could change their behaviour and increase physical activity levels. Wearable devices that count steps or measure activity, or smartphone applications that provide feedback about physical activity could be useful. Understanding how effective such devices are to increase physical activity has the potential to benefit all people after stroke.
Study characteristics
We included four trials in this review, comprising 245 participants, ranging in age from 22 to 92 years. Three trials measured physical activity outcomes after the treatment period. Trials were conducted in hospital and community settings. All participants were able to communicate and provide informed consent, and all were able to walk at least five steps without supervision or assistance. The experimental groups in the trials received feedback at least daily on the number of steps taken.
Search date
We searched for studies up to 3 March 2018.
Key results
We found that the use of wearable activity monitors to provide feedback on physical activity did not increase physical activity levels in people with stroke. No conclusions could be drawn regarding the influence of stroke severity, walking ability, stroke survivor age, or time poststroke on the outcomes. The four included studies were conducted in different settings, and used different outcome measures, which limited the ability to combine data. No study reported whether the use of physical activity monitors was harmful. More research is needed to determine if they are effective.
Quality of the evidence
Using the GRADE approach, the quality of the evidence was low to very low, due to the small number of studies, small sample sizes, and because no study was able to blind the participants or the therapists delivering the intervention (they were aware that a device was being used and aware of the feedback that was being provided by the device).

I'm eagerly awaiting for Lego to release the official Back to the Future sets—note to Billund: you should make the RC model too—but I want more. I want all my childhood remade using Danish bricks (never mind that most of my childhood was actually made of Lego bricks). I really want all the sets above to be official: the Ghostbuster's Ecto-1, the Dukes of Hazzard's General Lee, the A-Team's GMC Vandura, and Knight Rider's KITT.

This medicine is usually taken as pills or liquid
Duloxetine is an antidepressant called a
"selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor." It changes how the
brain uses certain brain chemicals. How it helps with bladder control is not
yet known.
Imipramine is a tricyclic antidepressant, but it has
anticholinergic side effects. This means that it relaxes the smooth muscle of
the bladder. It also causes the muscles at the bladder neck to contract.
Duloxetine may be prescribed for
stress incontinence.
Imipramine may be
prescribed for:
Duloxetine rarely cures stress incontinence. But it can reduce the number of times you leak urine. People taking duloxetine also felt it improved their quality of life.1 But duloxetine can cause side effects. The number of women who have fewer symptoms with duloxetine is about the same as the number of women who stop taking it because of side effects.2
Imipramine is
not a well-studied incontinence treatment. It is not known as a highly
effective treatment for urinary incontinence. But it may be worth trying if
other medicines don't work or if they cause side effects.
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
Call your doctor if you have:
Common side effects include:
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an advisory on antidepressant medicines and the risk of suicide. Talk to your doctor about these possible side effects and the warning signs of suicide.
Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not
available in all systems.)
Imipramine can make drowsiness worse when it is combined with alcohol or other medicines that make you sleepy. These include cold and allergy medicines. Check with your doctor before taking any other medicines with imipramine, including medicine you can get without a prescription. If you are feeling sleepy, don't drive or do anything else that could be dangerous to you or other people.
Imipramine may cause your skin to be more sensitive to sunlight. When you are taking this medicine:
Dry mouth is common when you take imipramine. To help with dry mouth, you can chew sugarless gum, suck on sugarless candy, or melt ice in your mouth. If you continue to have problems with dry mouth after a couple weeks, call your doctor. Dry mouth can lead to tooth decay and gum disease.
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or trying to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine reacted to Donald Trump's choice for the GOP ticket Sunday, telling NBC News he viewed Indiana Gov. Mike Pence's record as "anti-civil rights."
Trump "is entitled to make his pick, so I don't really have any comments on it right now," Kaine said. "The only real way I know him is because of the controversy of his activities to really crack down on LGBT, and then that controversy, and the other things that I would kind of view as very anti-civil rights."
Kaine appeared with Hillary Clinton at a campaign rally for the first time since before the Virginia primary on Thursday. Many believed it was an audition for the role of her vice presidential pick.
He denied there were any conversations about the vice presidency. "Nope," he said. "We were talking about the rally and we were talking about Virginia."

New safe house to support growing demand in Summit
summit daily news
In the wake of a crisis – sexual assault, domestic abuse – Advocates for Victims of Assault provides women and children in Summit County a safe place to stay at a local emergency shelter.
But the safe house is aging, beginning to fall apart and struggling to support the growing need in the community.
"We've really just had to make due with whatever rental space we could find," said Amy Jackson, director of the more than 30-year-old organization. "We've run into challenges over the years of not being able to do upgrades or improvements to property."
A year ago, she broke down and began exploring the idea of buying a newer property that would better meet the needs of the individuals Advocates serves. At first, it didn't seem possible. It's nearly impossible for nonprofit organizations, even well established ones, to receive funding.
Then Jackson learned of a funding opportunity through the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Office of Rural Development. Earlier this year, the organization received a $508,000 loan to buy a new safe house.
Advocates will close on the new building Tuesday.
The new shelter is bigger, brighter and in better shape than the old location, with an on-site detached garage which will be refinished to become the new office facility for the nonprofit, offering staff better ability to oversee the shelter and manage programming.
On May 1, Advocates' clients will be able to relocate to the new safe house.
The house, a four-bedroom former model home, will provide space for up to 20 women and children with food and programming provided free of charge. Clients, as the non-profit calls them, can stay in the shelter for up to 90 days while they regroup and figure out their next steps.
"Organizations like Advocates for Victims of Sexual Assault make our communities safer and stronger by supporting survivors of sexual assault," U.S. Senator Michael Bennet stated in a release on the loan. "This new permanent emergency shelter will give victims in Summit County a place to find help and begin the healing process."
Advocates also supports individuals who were victims of domestic violence and trauma.
The average client stays roughly 60 days, but the need for sheltering has grown significantly in recent years.
"I think as the economy has gotten more challenging for people some of their needs have definitely increased," Jackson said. "We've definitely seen an increase in our number of residents and the length of stay."
The current shelter was once housing 25-35 women and children annually for an average of 600 safe nights ever year. That has increased to 45 or 50 women and children in need of shelter in recent years. The organization is now providing roughly 900 nights of shelter.
The organization plans to offer on-site therapy, classes and even activities like yoga at the new shelter, which was selected both for its size and its proximity to services including grocery stores, businesses and a police station.
The location of the shelter is not being disclosed for the safety of the residents.
Men will not be housed in the new shelter. Advocates provides shelter for male victims at local hotels free of charge.
Start a dialogue, stay on topic and be civil.

LIVINGSTON, NJ – If there was ever a man who loves his job, it's Michael Daichman, the new executive director at CareOne in Livingston.
"I treat every one of these residents like they're my own grandparents," Daichman said, in a rare moment of downtime in his office. "On any given day, I'm out giving and getting hugs."
It's been just over a month since he came to CareOne, where an assisted living building is across from a skilled nursing facility. The whole campus looks more like a small resort, with manicured lawns, landscaping and gently rolling hills. Although his office is in the assisted living building, you won't often find him behind his desk. You'll more likely find him talking to residents in the common areas, or walking through the dining room and being asked by a dozen grandmas if he has eaten dinner yet, or in the small kitchen, whipping up a batch of chicken wings for everyone.
He makes daily visits to the Alzheimer's/memory care community, which he said is so important.
"The last time I was in there, I hugged a woman who I know has no family around, and her face just lit up like a Christmas tree," he said. "She told me she didn't remember the last time she had a hug."
With an undergraduate degree in human development, a master's in public administration and health services, and a long-time affinity for senior citizens and their particular needs, Daichman has found his calling at CareOne. He loves his work and it shows.
"I'm not an office person," Daichman said. "I need to be up, walking around, talking to people. I spend as much time with our residents as I can."
It's not surprising, particularly after hearing Daichman talk about his own grandparents, with whom he was close. When his grandfather passed away some years back, he moved his grandmother – still healthy and active – into the assisted living community where he was working at the time. It was more for the social life than anything else, he said, and she loved it. He liked having her close by, although once when he and the facility's maintenance man were on the roof removing snow, they were called back down by his grandmother and some of her friends, who scolded them for making too much noise and for being out on the roof in the first place – too dangerous.
He has the same kind of repertoire with the residents and staff at CareOne. As he strolls through the hallways, people call out greetings to him, tease him about always smiling, stop for brief chats. It's all part of the one big happy family vibe that CareOne has, made even more so by the fact that Daichman unhesitatingly gives his cell phone number to residents and family members and tells them they can call any time, day or night.
Some nights he's a little closer, since a few evenings a week he stays in a room at the facility. He primarily lives with his parents in Edison since relocating from Alexandria, Virginia, where his wife still is for the time being. On the nights he sticks around, he can quickly get where he's needed, although distance doesn't seem to matter. He once dropped everything and drove in from Alexandria when he was called.
"I do everything I can for our residents, not because they pay for it, but because they deserve it," Daichman said.

Cocaine, Marijuana, Opiates, and Amphetamines
Our 4 panel instant drug test for Cocaine, Marijuana, Opiates, and Amphetamines is an on-site urine screening device that offers a convenient dipping method simply by removing the end cap and inserting the detection device into the sample provided inside a clean sterilized collection cup.
Once the 4 panel drug test is inserted and testing begins, the results will be visibly noticeable after a few minutes. Should no drugs be found the corresponding panel will develop a red line below the control line. To serve as a procedural control, a colored line will always appear at the control line region of the drug test, indicating that proper volume of specimen has been added and membrane wicking has occurred.
An easy to use and read rapid, one step screening test for the simultaneous, qualitative detection of multiple drugs and drug metabolites in human urine. iScreen drug test results are detected by the presence or absence of specific drugs in the urine specimen. Drugs which may be present in the specimen being tested by the drug test to compete against their respective drug conjugate for binding sites on their specific antibody.
During the instant drug test procedure, a urine specimen will migrate upward by capillary action. If a drug is present in the urine specimen below its cut-off concentration, it will not saturate the binding sites of its specific antibody. The antibody will then react with the drug-protein conjugate and a visible colored line will show up in the urine test line region of the specifically labeled result strip.
Are multi drug tests as accurate as A GC/MS SAMHSA Lab test?Our urine detection cards are qualitative, which means it only determines the presence of drugs at detection limits comparable to SAMHSA cut-off concentration. GC/MS, which costs more, quantifies the concentration of drugs in the sample. Given the purposes of most drug testing (pre-employment, post-accident, random) is to detect the presence of drug use and not determine the amounts ingested, our rapid drug test satisfies the needs of almost all Drug Screening Programs.
What is the shelf life on the rapid drug tests?Our urine dip cards have a shelf life of 12 to 18 months from the date of manufacture. The expiration date of each Lot of devices is indicated on each individual foil pouch and can be used until that date. Upon the date of purchase, one should have from 6 to 18 months, to be able to stock and use the product.
How long are the results valid after administering the tests?These employee drug test results are stable for up to (4) hours.
Do rapid test results hold up in court?Rapid drug tests provide only a preliminary analytical test result. A more specific alternate chemical method must be used in order to obtain a confirmed analytical result- gas chromatography (mass spectrometry) (GC/MS) is the preferred confirmatory method. Any result taken to court, must be confirmed by a SAMHSA certified Lab. SAMHSA's list Of Certified Labs For GC/MS Testing.
Are there any legal medications that can trigger positive results?Yes. The most common problem is the pseudoephedrine in many over-the-counter sinus and cold medications, which can cause a positive result for methamphetamine. A GC/MS confirmation, as well as an MRO review, is necessary to determine the source of the positive result. Some forms of the drugs we test for may be available legally under prescription as well.
How accurate are the test results?Laboratory test results for drugs of abuse have indicated a greater than 97% accuracy when used according to the step-by-step instructions that are provided with the test.
Is there any specific way these products need to be stored? Do they have to be refrigerated?All drug test devices can be stored at room temperature up to the date of expiration printed on the individual foil pouch. They cannot be stored in extreme heat or cold and must remain sealed in the foil pouch until use.
What is the minimum amount of specimen needed for a conclusive test result?It is always important to collect a sufficient amount of specimen in case of a non-negative result. The confirmation laboratory requires a minimum of 15mL of the specimen but prefers 30mL for urine testing. For saliva, it is 2mL.
Does the product need to be disposed of in any special way, such as a bio hazard bag?Urine and oral drug screens do not pose a bio hazard risk and can be disposed of in regular waste receptacles.
Are there products that can be used in the tests to give a false negative? What can be done to avoid this?Although there are only a small handful of products that can be used to change the result of an impending test, there are validity screens available which can detect these adulterants. We also offer individual adulteration strips.
Do you have to confirm a non-negative result? If so, how is this done? We strongly recommend that a SAMHSA certified laboratory confirm all non-negative results. Please call us directly for assistance.
Are any of your drug tests FDA Cleared?All of our urine tests have an FDA 510k clearance except for the new K2 Test Kit, which is waiting for FDA 510 (k) clearance.
Is there specific training required to administer these drug tests? Although there is no official training required to administer the tests, procedure cards are provided as well as, instructional videos, and drug test interpretation quizzes free of charge.

White Asparagus Salad Recipe (Goi Mang)
09.20.11 by Jackie
Traditional Vietnamese cooking is widely known for its healthy properties and for the freshness of the ingredients. The food is simply prepared with very easy cooking techniques, which is great if you're in a rush.
Gơi măng tây (which literally translates to "French bamboo shoots" in Vietnamese) is a typical Vietnamese salad that embodies these qualities. What are French bamboo shoots you ask? Asparagus! Fresh white asparagus are available at my local market, so I decided to use them in this dish. They provide a different texture for this type of raw salad. It's a bit more work than cooking green ones, as white asparagus have to be carefully peeled for optimum tenderness.

Let's Go Crazy for the Dancing Baby!
While the Internet is about many things, cute kittie photos, viral videos and, unfortunately, Rule 34. It also a great tool for freedom of expression, fair use and sharing information. True, it can harbor pirates, those who break copyright laws, but freedom of expression is a double-edged sword. I can't ban the Koran and still, justly and fairly, have my Bible. In order to function, it must be completely open and accessible to all, equally and fairly.
Unfortunately, not everyone feels that way. There are some who believe in suppression of ideas, filtering and censorship. I call bullshit. Let me take my chances with that sword. Continue reading "The Dancing Baby Wins!"
