Handmade gifts are gifts that can be made by people who are talented or by grade school children before they get appreciation. Actually, there are easy items that can be transformed into great gifts for loved ones, whether it is the holiday season or special occasions.
During special times of the year, we always think of how to make our family and friends happy that it gets so tempting to spend all your carefully saved money. Making personal gifts for your friends and family not only shows how you appreciate them but it also saves you from overspending.
Things that we usually do, that we find uninteresting, can be transformed into great gift ideas. Here are some great handmade gifts that you can try:
• Food gifts
Giving foods as gifts is a great way of sharing your great palate with family and friends. You can bake cookies or bread and wrap it creatively, and those would receive it would be touched with the gesture. You can wrap them with fabric and ribbon or just pick out a very creative container for the goodies. You can even add the recipe with gift.
Another food gift would be preserved or home-canned fruits and vegetables. If you are somebody with produce of your own, then there are things that you can do with your harvest to make them suitable for gift-giving. Or you can just buy organic produce in the market and can them at home.
• Craft gifts
There are many crafted items that you can give. You can make ornaments, if it is during the holidays; then decorative gift baskets would be great. This would showcase your creativity and skill.
It could even be bath salts and oils. They may sound very luxurious (and are!) but actually they are very easy to make. You just need to buy some important ingredients. There are easy steps to follow that you can find in craft books, over the internet, and other sources. When making bath salts, you just need to craft them, beginning with Epsom salts and sea salts.
You can add the essential oils that would give your bath salts the scent that you want. Bath oils are also very easy to make. You just need carrier oil and the essential oil of the scent that you want. Gradually mix the two oils together until the desired scent in reached. You can transfer the oils to decorative bottles or jars that you have picked out.
Same as food gifts, decoration is the key to make your gift attractive and pleasant. You can get decorating bottles and jars to put the items inside and you can even decorate it with ribbons.
• Plants
If you have a lot of plants at home, then these would be great gift ideas. You can arrange fresh or died flowers and plants as gifts. Furthermore, there are some people who would get one of their most beautiful plants in the garden and transfer it into a pot and give it as a gift.
The idea that a precious plant given to somebody to care for and enjoy, is something very touching and very special.
• Letter writing
How does it feel when you receive a letter on your birthday saying how important you are to them? It can be very touching. You can write the letter in Italic or even learn calligraphy to make it more creative and beautiful. It would not just make the gift appreciated but the giver as well.
There could be hundreds of handmade gift ideas, you just to translate these ideas into creative outputs. Handmade gifts not only allow you to save your money, it also makes the receiver feel the effort, time and warmth conveyed in the personal and handmade gifts. How great it is to receive something born out of your loved one's hands?

Special Project - World Adventure Storybook
Cat Deuter was honored to be chosen one of 63 artists to illustrate an educational storybook for children. She was picked to paint an American Indian child to be among the children of the world.
By The Author
In this adventurous, educational storybook, your child rides a magic carpet around the world to visit countries and places that spell out your child's first and last name in rhyme. If the child's name is Jack, for instance, he might visit Japan, Australia, Cambodia, and so on. Your child is welcomed by children from around the world who give your child a special gift representing their country, such as a Temari ball from Japan or a boomerang from Australia.
This keepsake book includes pages featuring an illustrated passport with stamps from the countries that your child has visited and a personalized world map showing your child where these countries are located. My Very Own® World Adventure will open young children's eyes to the diversity of children from around the world while also showing that all children are in many ways the same.
Our book designers spent over 5 years selecting 63 artists from around the world to paint a child from each of their countries.

Please Note: This article is written for users of the following Microsoft Excel versions: 97, 2000, 2002, and 2003. If you are using a later version (Excel 2007 or later), this tip may not work for you. For a version of this tip written specifically for later versions of Excel, click here: Printing a Worksheet List.
by Allen Wyatt
(last updated January 16, 2017)
In complex workbooks that contain many worksheets, it is not unusual to need a list of the different worksheets. Once you have the list, you can print it or use it in some other fashion, such as to create a table of contents for your workbook. The following macro, GetSheets, quickly retrieves the names of the worksheets in the current workbook. It places them in the current worksheet, starting at cell A1 and then working downwards.
Sub GetSheets() Dim j As Integer Dim NumSheets As Integer NumSheets = Sheets.Count For j = 1 To NumSheets Cells(j, 1) = Sheets(j).Name Next j End Sub
This macro will overwrite anything in a cell it needs in the current workbook, so you should make sure you don't need anything in column A of the worksheet. If you don't want to overwrite anything, make sure you create a new worksheet and then run the macro from that worksheet.
Once the list of worksheets is created, you can format it as desired, and then print it out.
ExcelTips is your source for cost-effective Microsoft Excel training. This tip (2216) applies to Microsoft Excel 97, 2000, 2002, and 2003. You can find a version of this tip for the ribbon interface of Excel (Excel 2007 and later) here: Printing a Worksheet List.

Hi thanks, this works perfectly.
Is there anyway of doing the opposite? Having a list of titles and then using code to insert the automatically into worksheet title tab?

@Willy Vanhaelen
Willy, this is a wonderful bit of code! Many thanks for your help.
By any chance would you know how to fix a small problem? I am using Office 2010 on Windows 7 Enterprise. When I create a hyperlink, either manually or using your macro, I must use the mouse to click on the link to go to the destination. Previously, in Excel 97, I merely had to go to the cell containing the link and press Enter or Return to get there.
Any ideas how I can get the Enter/Return key to work in 2010?
2015-01-26 10:27:02
Willy Vanhaelen
@Charles Harris: Here it is:
Sub MakeHyperlinkIndex()
Dim ndx As Worksheet, X As Integer
Set ndx = Sheets.Add(before:=Sheets(1))
ndx.Name = "Index"
ndx.Cells(1) = "Worksheets"
For X = 2 To Worksheets.Count
ndx.Hyperlinks.Add _
Anchor:=ndx.Cells(X, 1), Address:="", _
SubAddress:="'" & Worksheets(X).Name & "'!A1", _
Next X
End Sub
The macro creates a new worksheet to deal with the overwriting risk.
Refer to Barry Fitzpatrick's macro (4 Dec 2013) if you want to avoid an error when the sheet already exists.
2015-01-26 04:33:55
Dave K
Here is a small change to my code which will give you a solution. While it's not quite what you want, it works. I don't yet know how to insert a proper hyperlink.
The code produces a list of sheets as before, but each entry is a formula-based link to Cell A1 of the other sheets. If you put the sheet name into Cell A1 of each sheet, then you get a meaningful list. Double-click on the sheet name in the list just created and you will be brought to that sheet.
1. The code Cells(1, 1) refers to Cell A1. Change the Row and Column values if you prefer to have your sheet names elsewhere.
2. You will need to uncheck the option to "Edit directly in cells" for the double-click to work.
3. The screenupdating setting stops the flicker when Excel selects each sheet in the workbook.
4. I would recommend that you include a check to make sure that existing data is not over-written, for example by not properly selecting a blank column before you run the macro.
Anyway, here is my amended code.
Sub InsertLinks()
Dim j As Integer
Dim NS As Integer
Dim C As Integer
Dim sht As Worksheet
NS = Sheets.Count
C = ActiveCell.Column
Set sht = ActiveSheet
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For j = 1 To NS
Cells(1, 1).Select
Cells(j, C).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste link:=True
Next j
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
2015-01-23 20:27:39
Charles Harris
With code dated 8 Oct 2012 is it possible to make the list with each item hyper linked to the specific sheet ?
2013-12-05 06:16:34
Dave Kerr
Thanks for the tip about the sheet numbers. I didn't know how Excel handled them.
Neat solution too, thanks.
2013-12-04 05:59:44
Barry Fitzpatrick
Here's an alternative that adds a sheet and names it "Sheet Names" to avoid any overwriting issues:
Sub List_of_Sheet_Names()
Dim Number_of_Sheets As Integer
Dim Row As Integer
Dim Column As Integer
Dim j As Integer
Dim shtList As Worksheet
'Delete an existing sheet named "Sheet Names"
On Error Resume Next
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Worksheets("Sheet Names").Delete
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
On Error GoTo 0
'create and name a new sheet, and position it at the far left
Set shtList = Worksheets.Add(Before:=Sheets(1))
shtList.Name = "Sheet Names"
Number_of_Sheets = Sheets.Count
'make the list of sheet names
For j = 2 To Number_of_Sheets
shtList.Cells(j - 1, 1) = Sheets(j).Name
Next j
End Sub
NB if there is already a sheet named "Sheet Names" (e.g. if you've run the macro once already). then it will be deleted.
Note also the use of the "Before" parameter. This is because Excel sheet index number is in the order of the sheet tabs on the workbook itself i.e. the leftmost sheet tabs has index 1. The "Before" parameter positions the new sheet at the far left and so is not listed in the list of worksheets.
2013-12-04 05:57:05
Dave Kerr
I went a little further and had the macro check that there are no currently filled cells in the range about to be occupied by the listing.
Excluding the declaration of variables, which should be fairly apparent, here is the code that I use now. It works well for me.
NS = Sheets.Count
R = ActiveCell.Row
C = ActiveCell.Column
NonBlank = 0
For j = 1 To NS
If Cells(R, C) <> "" Then
NonBlank = NonBlank + 1
End If
Next j
R = ActiveCell.Row
If NonBlank > 0 Then
MsgBox "This process will over-write existing cells." & vbCrLf & _
"Please select an area of blank cells and re-start." & vbCrLf & _
"Click OK to stop."
Exit Sub
For j = 1 To NS
Cells(R, C).NumberFormat = "@"
Cells(R, C) = Sheets(j).Name
Next j
End If
I hope this helps!
2013-12-03 08:33:56
Thanks for this. Its just the start I needed to get what I want!
Altered it slightly and now the macro inserts the list of worksheets in the cell you pick.
Sub List_of_Sheet_Names()
Dim Number_of_Sheets As Integer
Dim Row As Integer
Dim Column As Integer
Dim j As Integer
Number_of_Sheets = Sheets.Count
Row = ActiveCell.Row
Column = ActiveCell.Column
For j = 1 To Number_of_Sheets
Cells(Row, Column) = Sheets(j).Name
Row = Row + 1
Next j
End Sub
2012-10-08 05:10:58
Barry Fitzpatrick
I would recommend in both of the above examples to clearing the column that will be used to store the sheet names, because if there is already data in the column that doesn't get overwritten by the macro then it will appear that there are more sheets than there actually are. Any subject macro where it to use the data in the column would give a run time error as it wouldn't be able to find the sheets at the end of the list (i.e. those entries that were not overwritten).
2012-10-08 03:33:58
Dave K
Brilliant in its simplicity. Just add two lines and make one small change if you want to decide which column to use, as follows.
Sub GetSheets()
Dim j As Integer
Dim NS As Integer
Dim C As Integer
NS = Sheets.Count
C = ActiveCell.Column
For j = 1 To NS
Cells(j, C) = Sheets(j).Name
Next j
End Sub
Before you run the macro, select any cell in the column where you want the list to appear. The column value from ActiveCell is assigned to the variable C and used in the positioning loop.

By Hannah Hunt, deputy director, electricity policy and demand, American Wind Energy Association (AWEA)
To get started, here are five questions that can help determine how a community might meet its clean energy commitment.
1. What's your community's goal?
While hundreds of local governments have made commitments to use more clean energy or reduce their carbon footprints, not every commitment is the same. So first, you need to figure out what your local govenrment is trying to accomplish.
Some places like St. Louis are going 100 percent renewable energy to meet all electricity demands in the city, including from businesses and residents; others like Chicago are going 100 percent renewable energy for government buildings specifically. Knowing what is your community's goal will help determine how much clean energy you'll need to procure – and how difficult it might be to do it.
2. Does your community own its electric utility?
A municipal-owned utility (MOU) can purchase electricity on the community's behalf and deliver it to customers.
One city with an MOU that's now 100 percent clean energy is Greensburg, Kansas. After a tornado destroyed much of the city in 2007, the community decided to rebuild sustainably, including getting all of its electricity from renewable sources.
Greensburg City Administrator Kyler Ludwig explains: "In 2009, Greensburg entered an agreement with Greensburg Wind Farm LLC to secure renewable energy credits for all energy used within the city. Greensburg's commitment to 100 percent renewable energy goes beyond the environmental impacts. I believe that moving toward renewable energy has strengthened our community's identity."
3. Does your state have retail electric choice?
Sixteen states and the District of Columbia allow nonutility entities with a large enough electricity demand (including city governments, corporations, or universities) to purchase electricity directly from a generation source like a wind farm, for example. A city in one of these deregulated states can purchase electricity for its government operations without having to get it through the local utility that serves its area.
Several cities have taken advantage of this opportunity. The Washington, D.C. government, for example, signed a long-term contract to supply roughly 35 percent of its government buildings' electricity demand with wind power.
Mark Chambers, sustainability and energy management director, D.C. Department of General Services, explained at the time: "Directly sourcing renewable power costs 30 percent less than fossil fuel-based sources, reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 100,000 tons, and protects our city from volatile energy price increases. Put another way, during its 20-year span, this deal removes the same amount of carbon from our atmosphere as planting 44 million trees or removing 18,000 cars from the road every year."
4. Can your community aggregate residents' demand for clean energy?
In certain deregulated states, local governments can aggregate the individual demand for clean electricity from homeowners and businesses and use that collective buying power to sign a contract for clean energy with an alternative energy supplier that is not their local utility. This is achieved through community choice aggregation (CCA) programs.
New Rochelle, New York, joined together with 19 other towns in New York to create Westchester Power, a CCA program that provides 100 percent clean energy for residents and businesses in downstate New York.
Chuck Strome, city administrator, New Rochelle, says, "The city of New Rochelle has been involved with community choice aggregation for two years, and has seen tremendous benefits. The program as a whole has resulted in customer savings of more than $2 million and avoided 2 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions. New Rochelle residents enjoy a proportionate share of those savings and carbon dioxide emission reductions. Residents of New Rochelle have enthusiastically embraced the reductions on their utility bills and the use of cleaner energy supplies."
5. Does the utility that serves your community have a green tariff program?
A green tariff allows a city or other large buyer to procure renewable energy through its utility, paying a special rate for the clean energy supply. Thirteen green tariffs in 10 states have been proposed or approved to date, and several more are in the pipeline.
Snoqualmie, Washington, is one of the first cities in the country to take advantage of a green tariff, which was offered by Puget Sound Energy. Snoqualmie will join other Washington towns and well-known brands like Target and Starbucks in "subscribing" to a portion of the electricity generated by a new wind project under development in Washington state.
Bob Larson, city administrator, Snoqualmie, says, "We are very excited at the opportunity to power all city facilities with green power. Citizens want clean energy. Responding to that demand, while securing stable energy costs that could save us funds long-term, was a win-win. We applaud PSE's efforts to mature a collaborative new wind project, both reducing climate emissions and developing an asset that contributes to regionally low-energy rates."

Mooloolaba- refresh the soul.
Mooloolaba is the ideal place to refresh the soul – the open bay allows a view to the horizon, with the comings and goings of all kinds of water-craft to watch as it goes about its busy-ness: container ships entering and departing Moreton Bay, the pilot boats, coast guard boat, fishing boats of all descriptions including tuna trawlers, prawn boats, commercial fishers, weekend fishers, and runabouts; surf boat crews, dragon boat crews, yachts of all sizes, jet skis, stand-up paddle boarders, are all part of the patterns to wonder at.
Park your car in Northwind's free, secure car parking and spend your time away getting back to the simple pleasures of beachfront walking, beachcombing, exploring rock pools, people-watching, observing the plentiful birdlife, wandering around the canals, watching people playing around with boats, go fishing , take your time window-shopping, eating fish and chips on the beach, enjoying a good coffee or tea while admiring the constantly changing sea or canal views. Take a canal cruise at sunset or dine at one of the restaurants with sea or canal views. A sea-change doesn't have to be permanent to revitalise the soul; take a barefoot walk or two along the sands of Mooloolaba Beach at sunrise or sunset and come back refreshed. You may prefer to experience the magic of a sunrise from your balcony, with all apartments having a north-east facing balcony that allows you to enjoy a wonderful start to your day.
Mooloolaba is a great place to just 'be'.

Taken from Sacred Geometry III, this healing deals with the sacredness of the human body and the person as an individual. There are seven layers or the human aura at the astral level, and we do a deep and profound healing on the Spirit Level, Thinker Level, Soul Level, Astral Level, Planning Level, Dreamer Level and the Action Level.

Together with Clarkson, the Cavaliers will also receive Larry Nance Jr., while veteran center Channing Frye will reportedly also head to the Lakers with Thomas. Cleveland wasn't done remaking its roster. Minutes later, they acquired scoring swingman Rodney Hood from Utah and point guard George Hill from Sacramento in a 3-team trade, before trading Dwyane Wade to Miami for a second-round pick.

Sacramento sends George Hill to the Cavs. — Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) February 8, 2018 Clarkson, who has established himself as a fan favorite in Los Angeles thanks in part to the city's strong Filipino community, was a draft steal when he was picked 46th in 2014.

He averaged 14.3 points in 273 games and 3 and a half seasons for the Lakers. Thomas, whose hip injury factored in a move that had sent him from the Boston Celtics to the Cavaliers in the preseason, was expected to fill the shoes of Kyrie Irving. But he never found his groove as he tried to get back to a form that saw him contend for the MVP award last season. (For more sports coverage, visit the ABS-CBN Sports website.)

Nagging fitness injuries and what to do about them/
How many times have you or someone you know finished a run or lifted weights with nagging pain? You know the scenario, it's not bad enough to sideline you, but you feel it every time you workout. If you find that you're in pain or experience consistent discomfort during your workouts, I have an unofficial diagnosis for you, chronic pain. Pain becomes a chronic issue when it lasts longer than several weeks and rest doesn't seem to make it better. In fact, many issues around chronic pain come from overuse of a certain body part or just plain ole overtraining.
Don't think you fall into that category because you're too young, really fit, or in denial? You're not alone. Studies show that more than 15 million Americans suffer from chronic pain. However, these same folks continue to do their workouts faithfully, train for 10Ks, ironman or even go hard at CrossFit. In fact, you can get so used to pain, it becomes your new normal. That's not good. If you're in chronic pain, there's a solution for you and it's cross-training.
So, how do you handle this pain dilemma? Now, I could tell you that the best thing for you to do is to stop training for a while, rest, and resume your routine. However, most of the time that's not the best way to deal with a nagging injury or twinge that you feel periodically. Plus, taking a week or two off can set you back too. Here's the deal. If you have a new injury, it's best to use the RICE Method which stands for rest, ice, compression, and elevation. It's best to take a few days for your body to rest and 72 hours is a good window to see improvement. During that time, take some medicine to help with pain and inflammation. Ibuprofen or Tylenol are ideal. If your injury hasn't gotten better within another week or two, I recommend seeing your doctor to rule out any serious injuries and get the okay to continue exercise. The only time where I wouldn't recommend the two-week timeline is if you experience extreme swelling in a joint or debilitating pain within an hour or two after a workout. Waiting it out is not a good idea and could cause additional injury, so visit an Orthopedic Urgent Care Center right away.
Now that you've got your doctor's okay to exercise and you want to get back in the game, what do you do first? Remember this mantra; cross-training needs to be a staple in my workout regimen. Here's the way it works. Let's say that you are a runner, a hardcore one at that. You experience some knee issues and now you feel the ache or pain regularly. Instead of running daily, cut down your runs to no more than 3 times per week. In-between your runs, hop on the elliptical, bike, or try deep water running to take the load off of your knee. Add some rest days in-between a few workouts and combine with ice, pain medicine as needed, and stellar nutrition.
As your body continues to heal, you do several things. One, you minimize additional damage to the tendons and ligaments around your knee. Two, you recruit and work different muscle fibers. Three, you feel better because the aches and pains associated with running aren't there. Lastly, you enjoy your workouts, recover better, and perform better in the long term.
Now, before you go out there and resume your training I suggest you track your workouts going forward. Record what you do and how your body feels. For example, if you have shoulder issues and want to lift heavy, go light on the weights initially. You can always make it harder. Take note on how your shoulders feel through the movement. If you feel a slight twinge, don't push through it. Maintain good form through the end of the movement and drop the weight slightly. Lifting about ten percent less weight can be the one factor that will avoid further injury to your body.
Nowadays, cross-training is the only way to go. Your body will recover well plus you'll feel better in-between workouts. Daily high-intensity workouts will burn calories but also put you at risk for overtraining and overuse injuries. Dial it back and you'll reap the benefits, I promise.

This is the farthest that the Hubble Space Telescope will ever see. Some of the flecks of light in this two-million-second exposure, released last week, are infant galaxies emerging from the gloom only half a billion years after the Big Bang; their light has been on the way to us for 13.2 billion years. More distant (and earlier) galaxies cannot be seen because their light is shifted into infrared wavelengths that are invisible to Hubble.Continue reading the main story

More mums than ever are returning to work after having children - and discovering that getting the balance right can be very tough as they battle stress in the workplace with juggling family life.
In the last four decades, the number of working mothers has risen from half of all mothers to nearly three-quarters (72 per cent), according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies.
And yet Health and Safety Executive data shows the most stressed group at work is professional women aged between 35 and 44, because of lack of support, sexism, home/work imbalance, and family needs.
Mother-of-three Christine Armstrong experienced such stress after returning to work in advertising following the birth of her first child.
Her own challenges, and subsequently talking to other working mums about their work/life balance, led her to the shocking conclusion that society isn't designed to support women with children and a career.
"Men and women are struggling, but women are having a worse time - and are more stressed - because so many are trying to live up to stereotypes of what a good mum looks like, while also holding down a job," says Armstrong, the co-founder of a communications consultancy, and contributing editor of Management Today.
As a result of her experiences, she wrote The Mother of All Jobs: How to have children and a career and stay sane (ish) (Green Tree, £12.99).
"My intention was to show that everyone who feels they're drowning in work and kids is completely normal," she explains.
Many companies are trying to improve things but Armstrong says we need wider societal changes too, including good universal childcare, sensible working hours and supportive working cultures.
"But there are some things that happier parents seem to do or think compared to those who are really up against it.
"You may not be able to do them all, but a few may work for you. There are no silver bullets (I am so sorry) but I hope they help a little," she advises.
Here are Armstrong's 8 tips to help make being a working parent really work:
1. Embrace being a parent
Armstrong says there's no need for parents to suppress their maternal and paternal feelings just because they have careers.
"Society is stuck between the old world, where women were home and dads worked and the children were cared for, and a new world where most parents work longer and longer hours and children must be cared for during and around work.
"It's time we made decisions that enable this transition not to feel like a crisis in every working family across the land."
2. Open your eyes
Armstrong points out that new parents may realise society isn't set up to enhance family life, but to increase economic productivity, and says: "Know that and use it to defend yourself against every negative thought about not being good/capable/hard-working enough.
"We don' t have to apologise or feel guilty for being parents and workers or, even worse, hide that we have kids," she stresses.
"And never judge your own life against the imagined and idealised life you assume others have.
"The more we dig, the messier everyone's lives look."
3. Make conscious choices
Be very honest about who you are and what each of you (if you have a partner) believes is important, advises Armstrong.
"If your burning ambition is to be CEO, then set up your family and structure to support that ambition," she says.
"Equally, if you want to be very engaged in the daily lives of your kids, then set your family up that way.
"But in either case, be honest about who you are and know that it will change as you go, and allow space for that change."
4. Plan work
Actively plan the amount of time and the place that both parents spend working. "Don't just tumble into our crazy always-on workplace with a baby on each hip and hope you make it to their 18th birthday without a breakdown. You might not," Armstrong warns.
Instead, make choices that work for you and your whole family, and be prepared to move jobs, move home, move schools, or change your working structures.
5. Plan play as well as work!
Actively plan the time you both spend not working: When you're caring for children, exercising, having fun, seeing friends or running your home.
This includes not just giving yourself permission to do the things that matter to you, but making them a priority.
6. Cut costs
Constantly seek to reduce, rather than increase, your spending, Armstrong advises.
"Everyone thinks they need more money, so consider what your life would look like if you stopped spending and/or stripped out costs," she suggests.
Data from the US shows people have an average of 300,000 items in their homes - and the rise of storage facilities here shows the UK can't be far behind.
"Stop buying stuff you don' t even have space for," she says.
7. Turn it off
Take control of your technology and use it in a way that adds to your life rather than minimises it. This could range from stopping working all evening on your laptop, to turning off Amazon Prime in order to have a chat over dinner instead.
8. Play as one team
See your household as both a team and a set of individuals, and make decisions accordingly.
Having children at different schools, ignoring the five-year-old's bad sleeping habits or working opposite shifts to your partner so you don't see each other in the week are all fine, says Armstrong, as long as they don't bring the household to breaking point.
"Make choices that work day-to-day for everyone," she says. "If they don't work make a plan to change them."

Trump rejects he offered author gain access to and strikes out at Sloppy Steve, as spokesperson dismisses claims about his stability and physical fitness to serve
The United States publisher of an explosive brand-new book exposing turmoil behind the scenes at the White House has actually brought publication forward to Friday in defiance of an effort by Donald Trump's legal representatives to aim to shut it down.
The book's author, Michael Wolff, tweeted : "Here we go. You can purchase it (and read it) tomorrow. Vielen Dank, Mr President."
Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House was because of be launched on Tuesday. After extracts were made public by the Guardian , the White House was tossed into a craze.
Claims in the book about Trump's psychological stability and physical fitness to serve were dismissed on Thursday as "absurd and disgraceful" by the White House spokesperson Sarah Sanders.
Trump tweeted that he had actually never ever given Wolff access to the White House and had actually denied his demands sometimes. Explaining the book as "bogus", Trump stated Fire and Fury was: "loaded with lies, misstatements and sources that do not exist". He stated he had actually never ever spoken with Wolff: "Look at this person's past and enjoy exactly what takes place to him and Sloppy Steve!"
The president's Twitter outburst followed an impressive individual declaration knocking Steve Bannon , his one-time confidant, whom he castigated as self-aggrandizing and not a vital figure.
"Steve Bannon has absolutely nothing to do with me or my presidency,"Trump stated."When he was fired, he not just lost his task, he lost his mind."
Sanders stated the president was"disgusted and furious"at Bannon's attacks on his household, that included the claim that Donald Trump Jr's Trump Tower conference with a group of Russians who assured dirt on Hillary Clinton was" treasonous"und" unpatriotic".
Then on Thursday, as the White House had a hard time to consist of the fallout from the book, an attorney for the president sent out a letter requiring Wolff and his publisher, Henry Holt &Co,"right away desist and stop from any more publication, release or dissemination", or excerpts and summaries of its contents. The legal notification, sent out by the Beverly Hills-based lawyer Charles Harder, likewise required a copy of the book.
Harder sent out a comparable letter to Bannon on Wednesday night, implicating the previous chief strategist of breaking a staff member contract and maligning the president.
The Guardian released information from the book on Wednesday after acquiring a copy from a bookseller in New England. New york city publication then hurried to release a prolonged extract and more information started to become significant United States publications consisting of the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal got copies devoid of embargo.
Über 250,000 copies of the book had actually currently been delivered, apparently to be held up until Tuesday.On Thursday afternoon, a spokesperson for Holt &Co informed the Guardian publication in all formats was being advanced to Friday"due to extraordinary need".
A declaration from the publisher included:"Henry Holt validates that we got a desist and stop letter from a lawyer for President Trump. We see'Fire and Fury'as an amazing contribution to our nationwide discourse, and are continuing with the publication of the book. "
Wolff is due on NBC's Today program on Friday early morning for his very first on-the-record interview.
Ben Wizner, director of the American Civil Liberties Union's innovation, speech and personal privacy job, stated earlier Trump's claim had no possibility of success.
"Even Donald's Trump's attorneys aren't insane sufficient to provide this to a court,"er erklärte. "It would be extraordinary and remarkable for a court to react to these claims by obstructing publication. That is not going to occur.
"I believe there is an audience of one for these legal dangers which's Donald Trump."
In a column for the Hollywood Reporter entitled My Year Inside Trump's Insane White House, Wolff provided more insight into exactly what he found as he sat "day after day on a West Wing sofa "for a year. Administration authorities, he recommended, do not think Trump can satisfying his function as president.
"Everybody was painfully familiar with the increasing speed of his repeatings,"Wolff composed ."It utilized to be within 30 minutes he 'd duplicate, word-for-word and expression-for-expression, ganz gleich 3 Geschichten– now it was within 10 Protokoll. Numerous of his tweets were the item of his repeatings– he simply could not stop stating something."
He included:"Hoping for the very best, with their individual futures in addition to the nation's future depending on it, my enduring impression of speaking to them and observing them through much of the very first year of his presidency, is that they all– 100%– pertained to think he was incapable of operating in his task."
In a last anecdote, Wolff composed:"At Mar-a-Lago, prior to the brand-new year, a greatly fabricated Trump cannot acknowledge a succession of old good friends."
Much of Thursday's White House press rundown fixated the book. Sanders stated any claims about Trump's stability were"absurd and disgraceful ".
" If he was unsuited, he most likely would not be sitting there,"sie erklärt.
Trump appeared prior to the media previously in the Roosevelt Room, where he was satisfying Republican senators about migration. There were yelled concerns from press reporters, bestehend aus:" Did Steve Bannon betray you, Mr President? Any words about Steve Bannon?"
Trump responded:" I do not know, he called me an excellent guy last night, damit, Du verstehst, he clearly altered his tune quite fast."

Straight from the horses mouth...
Sue Tideswell- Team Chase Rider
My horse Inching Brook, a 13yr old ex pointer/eventer, and now a top Team Chase horse, has had a slight stiffness in his offside quarter for the last few years, which always seemed worse in the cold weather. I put him on a joint supplement during the winter, which I thought did help, but could never be sure as I still needed to give him an occasional Bute after strenuous day hunting or team chasing.
Last winter I was asked to try ProSportive Triflex. At first I was not sure if the product was any better, but I did notice that I no longer needed to give him Bute after a hard day as he never seemed stiff the following day. During the summer I ran out of Triflex and did not bother to re-stock…like many of us Inch always feels much better with some sun on his back, and his summer workload is much lighter.
However, the Autumn Team Chase season began and Inch had a good run at the Belvoir, the team finishing a creditable fourth. But the next day he was so stiff that he was actually lame behind. At first I thought something was very seriously wrong, but then realised he had not had any joint supplement since the spring. I immediately put him back on the Triflex at the recommended treatment dose.
Within days he was much better and was able to run the following week at the Atherstone team chase, we stormed round to take second place, and an early 2011 championship place. The next day he trotted out sound as a pound with no sign of ant stiffness. I can only put this down to Triflex….I now believe that not all supplements are the same, and from now on he will stay on Triflex all year round!!

I would like to say how wonderful your product is my 17hh warm blood was diagnosed with significant arthritic changes in his 5th and 6th joints in his neck, he was off work for five months and brought back into work very slowly, he has had Triflex now for 11 months and would you know he is back working and competing in affiliated elementary dressage, I thought at one point this time last year that he would only be able to hack or very light work, I am more than happy for him to stay at this level and that he has a happy and comfy life as he is my best mate and deserves the best thank you.
Vicki Drury
Hi. I just felt like I had to let you know about your product TRIFLEX. My welsh cob had been diagnosed with coffin joint arthritis 2 years ago plus and he suffered a bad injury to his suspensory ligament and tendon (a proper job!!) last April. I had almost given up on him being sound and least of all to be riding again! Since June this year he has been on the Triflex and after a week i could see he was more comfortable walking.
Since then he has had walking exercise and he is now able to go for an hour hack!! This is amazing as the vets said he would only ever be paddock sound!!
Thanks very much - I have my Rocky back!!! WONDERFUL PRODUCT!!!

Ramadan is here, and our stomachs are empty. The kitchens are working extra hours this month. Many Muslims will be cooking up a feast almost every day especially the weekends. Probably the most widespread and agreed upon un-official trademark of Ramadan is that the best food of any culture or ethnic Muslim group comes out.
This month is so blessed that even the kitchens are blessed. The food is extra tasty and fulfills our desires after a long day of fasting better than eating your favorite desert outside of Ramadan. In many Muslim countries, everything shuts down during the day but at night, everything is alive, and all the restaurants are packed and dinner tables at homes are full to the max.
This is probably the greatest fitna that effects almost every single Muslim no matter where they live. This is not what Ramadan is for and it is not the way of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
Many of us have heard lectures probably every Ramadan about this issue, but I haven't heard much solutions. So based on my experience of the past Ramadans, I have come up with some ways I do to change my feasting to moderate eating.
Breaking the Fast:
Water or milk and dates. Seriously that's it. Don't go after the palorie, samosa, sambosa, channa, etc.
After Maghrib
There are two options:
- Iftar with family/friends or at the Masjid – Delay the main course and eat 3-4 samosa/sambosa/palorie/dates/etc. Once many people are eating you go get your food. Fill half your plate up only (if it's a normal sized plate). If it's slightly smaller than normal than fill it 3/4.
- If with just immediate family, use a smaller size plate to put your food on. If you don't have smaller plates (or they are way too small) fill your normal sized plate with only half of it full.
After Tarweeh Snack (Optional):
This is optional and recommended for those who have high metabolism. I do not because in general I'm pretty skinny so I need to keep my weight stable. I usually have cereal, but if can also have a sandwich or 3-5 samosas/sambosas. If it's the big samosa, then 1 is enough.
Cereal is pretty much what I eat, since that is what I eat normally for breakfast. Honey Bunches of Oats is highly recommended.
What are some of your ways to eat moderately but still enjoy the good stuff?

If you're interested in keeping your stuff private, you will have no alternative but to consider some sort of secure encryption. There are ways to hide your identity, mask your IP address and delete your history safely but if you sit at your PC or Mac sending everything out in clear text well it's a exercise in futility.
So what would we need to Securely Encrypt?
Well pretty much anything that you would like to keep private, remember everything we do online passes through loads of other devices, routers and servers before it reaches it's intended recipient. Of course most of these devices are perfectly safe but there are lots of stages where your data can be viewed. The one point which always concerns me is your ISP, pretty much everything you do online goes through this point, and worse it is all logged and kept for years. Each and every one of us has a long history of our online activity stored in the logs of our ISP.
The problem is that so much of what we do online is in clear asciii text, which means it is instantly readable with anyone who has access to your data. So as well as your ISP, we have anyone using that same network, or listeing in on that Wifi connection, or logging on that router that your data passes through.
Here we can see a little test I ran on an open Wifi connection, I sent an email from a PC and then logged the data on my laptop using a free tool called Wireshark. Here's a quick screenshot of the email I was sending, I used Thunderbird to send the email but Outlook does exactly the same, as it's being transmitted using the same protocol - SMTP.
Here's what I could see in Wireshark when the email was sent.
Hope you can see the image properly (double click image if you can't), I haven't formatted it for easy reading, it's just the raw text that my laptop could see when an email was sent from my email client on the same network. You can see all the content is readable, because it is sent in clear text. I didn't need to do anything clever to view this data and could have done the same with web browsing, chat or a thousand other things people do online. Most online activities are not encrypted, they are in clear text just like this, which is one reason why I warn people about using unknown proxies on the internet !
Can you imagine what sort of data you could pick up sitting in a cafe with Wireshark running sniffing everything that passed through their free Wifi. Remember I'm illustrating the dangers with email but web browsing, chat would be exactly the same in most circumstances.
So taking email encryption as our example, lets see what this data looks like if we encrypt our connection. Now there are many, many ways of encrypting your email ranging from the excellent Ironport from Cisco, PGP, or the aptly named hushmail they all have their strengths and weaknesses but most ensure that your email message is encrypted for at least the majority of it's journey. I'm going to use Identity Cloaker to encrypt my email client as I want to use my normal email client - Thunderbird.
Now Identity Cloaker is normally used to mask your IP address and encrypt your web browsing, although the application will also encrypt all web mail accessed through the browser. It won't however protect any other protocols such as SMTP in its standard mode, however it has the functionality to use a VPN between any of the servers in the network. This stands for a Virtual Private Network and creates an encrypted tunnel which all your data is transferred through, completely protecting not only your browsing but anything you do online.
So I just need to logon to the appropriate server and connect via VPN, in this example I am connecting to one of the USA East Coast Servers.
In reality the location is not important in this instance, however if you wanted to access content restricted to a specific country like Hulu, you would need to pick a server in that country.
When the VPN is connected you're protected, you have a secure network tunnel between your client and the Identity Cloaker VPN server you selected. Let's see now what our packet traces looks from a standard email client transmitting a message,
Now of course you have to be careful with any sorts of encryption technology, emails can be especially tricky as even if you use something like a VPN like I did, anything beyond the tunnel is transmitted in the clear and of course emails will still sit unencrypted on the recipients hard drive. One really good option for an organisation to secure emails between two or more points is to implement TLS (Transport Layer Security) on Microsoft Exchange. Enable the TLS protocol on each server and you can ensure that all emails are encrypted as they are distributed, and best of all it's completely free. It's not too difficult to set up and I am often surprised how many organisations ignore this option.
The sad truth is if you want any sort of privacy online then you simply have no choice but to implement some form of secure encryption to protect yourself. There are of course many different ways of achieving this, I chose Identity Cloaker because you can do so much with it - you can read a short review of the program here - Identity Cloaker Review

Bitcoin Tracker | Week 15
What's the difference between pork bellies and bitcoins? Nothing, says Goldman Sachs. They pooh-pooh the notion of bitcoin as currency and instead classify it as a speculative asset that rises and falls based on the madness of the crowd. The Satoshi Nakamoto story continues to amuse/intrigue and, as someone said, there's got to be a rose ceremony in there somewhere. Lord and Taylor now accepts bitcoins and New York is trying to become the "Delaware" of Bitcoin by trying its very best to create an attractive regulatory environment. Oh, and we'll have not one, but two, panels at The Innovation Project 2014 focused on Bitcoin with some of the movers and shakers of the Bitcoin world at the mike.
Hope you enjoy, and if you have any news you'd like to share, please send it our way at email@example.com.
On the Plus Side …
"Can I put that on your Bitcoin account?" Words to be spoken now by sales associates at Lord & Taylor, which has agreed to accept bitcoins for payment. And the crazy miners are gearing up and revving up for lots of action – as in $20 million a month. We'd hate to pay their electricity bills.
- March 13, 2014 – A restaurant in Tampa Bay, FlameStone, will accept bitcoins to purchase gift cards on the restaurant's website.
- March 13, 2014 – Mobile ad network adds Bitcoin as a payment option.
- March 12, 2014 – CloudHashing.com prepares for a $20 million a month mining business, and plans to explain their processing power.
- March 12, 2014 – Information Week says that the first major crypto currency may not be a success story, but one will. And the evolution is in process, and they will become something more sustainable.
- March 12, 2014 – Bitcoin exchanges soon may be welcome in New York State, but they will be subject to strict regulation. The New York State Department of Financial Services said it would soon consider proposals for a regulated virtual currency exchange.
- March 11, 2014 – Businesses are buying into Bitcoin, despite the skepticism, due to the "cool factor" and the option to avoid the 3% credit card fees.
- March 11, 2014 – Bitcoin users may now buy from Lord & Taylor stores using a software application with the mobile app Pounce supported by Coinbase.
- March 11, 2014 – The founder of Wikipedia started playing with bitcoins and tweeted about it, leading to donations to his account, which he then gave to the Wikimedia Foundation.
- March 10, 2014 – The Bitcoin ATMs came in handy at South By Southwest so developers could take out U.S. dollars.
- March 10, 2014 – The Bitcoin community donated over $30,000 to the man who says he was wrongly identified as the founder of Bitcoin to say sorry. We note he was not paid in bitcoins.
On the Dark Side …
Goldman Sachs carries a lot of weight in this industry, and it released its opinion that digital currencies are not a currency, but rather a speculative asset whose value is unstable and given to the whims of the speculators – like oil, pork bellies and other commodities. And more than one article has been written to suggest that Bitcoin is the most elegant and clever "Ponzi Scheme" ever created.
- March 13, 2014 – Conan O'Brian invited the COO of BTC on his show to explain Bitcoin – he wasn't impressed.
- March 12, 2014- Goldman Sachs released a 25-page note upon polling its research units to see if the digital currency can ever have a meaningful impact in their fields of expertise. Overall, the ruling was that it is just too volatile to be of use.
- March 12, 2014 – Goldman Sachs also released a graph showing the volatility of Bitcoin vs. other currencies, and there is no comparison.
- March 11, 2014 – A US District Court for the Northern District of Illinois granted a temporary restraining order to freeze U.S. assets of Mt. Gox, Tibanne KK and Mt. Gox CEO Mark Karpeles to try and find out exactly what happened to the money missing from Mt. Gox.
- March 11, 2014 – ZD Net joins the group in calling Bitcoin a Ponzi scheme for the 21st century; the author also called Bitcoin the "Santa Claus of currency." Wait, he isn't real?
- March 11, 2014 – The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) has issued a new investor alert against Bitcoin, labeling the alert "Bitcoin: More Than a Bit Risky."
- March 11, 2014 – Bitcoin is going to struggle to gain ground because of how it will be taxed in the U.S., and it will be taxed at a high price just for the convenience of using it.
- March 10, 2014 – The NYU Professor and economist, Nouriel Roubini, nicknamed Dr. Doom for accurately forecasting the financial crisis, called Bitcoin a "Ponzi Game."
- March 7, 2014 – The person identified as Satoshio Nakamoto denies that he is the founder of Bitcoin, thus perpetuating the mystery.

The Rocky Giant hunches with his face towards the sea
And his heart is filled with aching from an ancient tragedy
That happened in the dreamtime when the land was fresh and young
And his burning anger separated Tibro from his son.
But he holds a darker sorrow that he longs to shout out loud –
Someone else's precious son is waiting to be found.
And Tibrogargan comforts him: "Peace. You're not alone –
My family of mountains will help to bring you home".
The pregnant Mother Beerwah has been waiting to give birth
But it takes an age for mountain babes to rise up from the earth.
And as she waits she worries over all her Glasshouse brood
And hopes that they'll grow safe and strong (as all young mountains should)
She watches while they frolic all about her feet each day
And she notices another child has joined with them in play.
Another mother's son is lost: "For how long have you roamed?
Stay here with us until it's time for you to go back home"
The Kabi tell the story of Glasshouse woes and fears
Why all the creeks flow constantly with bitter mountain tears:
An ancient storm; An argument; A son who went astray –
An absent child; An aching void that never goes away.
The mountain spirits kept their word, their sacred task is done
With ancient love and tenderness for someone else's son.
And so today the Glasshouse creeks are flowing with fresh tears
For Daniel's coming home at last: he's waited nine long years.
Neil Ennis, August 2011
In memory of Daniel Morcombe, and in gratitude for the comfort we can draw from the dreamtime legends of the Kabi / Gubbi Gubbi aboriginal people.

A farewell to EDA
EDA is dead, and we're to blame.
EDA is dead. It's been dying for about 20 years now. Big EDA have given up on innovation and the 99% of their users that cannot buy "platinum" support. Their software is an out-dated patchwork that's occasionally given a botox injection in the form of a new set of Windows icons. Their interfaces look like a Dreamliner cockpit bolted onto a DC-10 frame. New features are underwhelming, few, and do not address real problems, like source-control, inefficient design processes, and usability.
The thing is that despite the talented engineers working on these tools, culturally and structurally, Big EDA are not capable of innovation, and we should stop expecting them to.
'Cloud' EDA tools such as Upverter, circuits.io and others are disappointing in that they have resisted the urge to innovate. Interfaces are largely the same as their desktop counterparts and the design process is the same. But it's in the 'cloud' and 'social', neither of which are exactly what we're craving. Sadly, these tools are engineered to get aquihired by Big EDA, not to get us to perform our work more effectively, or for disruptting our outmoded industry.
Open source EDA is nearly non-existent due to the tight grip of Big EDA. The KiCAD project, for example, admirable as it is, suffers from typical community-based development issues and its 'old' core. I wouldn't be surprised -- I don't keep track -- if most of the current work is dealing with historical artefacts and personalities, instead of accepting the fact that the software needs a reboot, a natural occurrence in any software development, and one that should be much more manageable in a project such as KiCAD compared to Big EDA tools.
EDA is dead because it is no longer fit for purpose. As unholy as it is, we engineers need to accept that software development has outdone us and we have to catch up. No more exchanging zip files, no more broken tools held together by custom scripts no-one can maintain, no more Digital Stockholm Syndrome, no more status quo. We're partly to blame for letting the situation deteriorate here.
The future is not EDA. People may still call it 'EDA', but it will be something else. It won't have any of that old, mouldy, ancient feel to it -- it will be fresh, fun, and different. I'm sure of it, because the path we're currently headed leads to a low point from which new innovative tools will emerge. If you're currently developing tools for engineers, I beg you to not accept the old ways and innovate in usability and the design process, not only in crunching numbers, and the obvious 'social', 'mobile', and 'cloud' buzz. I'm trying to do that with PCBmodE, and I can assure you that it's hard, but it may be worth it!
* I mostly talk about circuit design software here, but I know that it applies to all flavours of EDA. Prove me wrong.

I'm not in the AlwaysOn group anymore, but your other servers think I am, and I really should be
Server not showing joined to AG but primary still shows it as joined.
Symptoms –
Server is still added to the availability group if you view the primary.
When browsing to the AlwaysOn High Availability from the affected server, it shows up blank
The affected server is still in the failover cluster
The affected server still has the checkbox for being added to the Availability Group (SSCM)
Troubleshooting –
Rebooted the affected server.
Failed over Cluster resource to simulate a restart, no change.
Steps to fix –
- Stop SQL Services on the affected node.
- From the Primary Replica, remove the affected node from the AlwaysOn Availability Group.
- Clear the checkbox for Enable AlwaysOn Availability Groups through SSCM, hit apply.
- Check the checkbox for Enable AlwaysOn Availability Groups through SSCM, hit apply.
- Start SQL services on the affected node.
- At this point, any databases that were in the availability group will need to have T-log restores, or, in my case, need to be dropped and manually re-seeded.
- Once all databases are seeded, verify the health of the AlwaysOn Availability Group via the dashboard.

At the Institute for Government we have identified a series of common problems and dilemmas that face, and will face, governments of all parties if they are to achieve their goals. In this paper, we look at the priorities of the main parties for 2015 and beyond. We outline the practical steps they must take to make progress on these priorities, run a more effective government and honour their manifesto commitments.
The main political parties publicly recognise that, if they come to power, they must:
- reduce the budget deficit and control public spending
- achieve sustained economic growth over the long term
- address long-term, complex social and economic challenges whose costs and benefits cover decades
- improve the effectiveness and efficiency of public services
- govern in a world where power is spread more widely.
Effective government
Parties are examining how to achieve these goals after the 2015 general election. If they are to be successful, their plans must work in practice as well as sound good during a campaign. Parties need to work out how to make the most of a £700-billion-a-year government machine so that by the time of the 2020 general election, they will be able to show that they have made a difference.
Recent polling carried out for the Institute for Government shows that the public have little confidence that politicians will keep their election promises. But two-thirds say they would be more likely to vote for a party that can show how it would implement its policies in government.
Using Institute for Government research on what works and what doesn't, this document identifies what the parties must do in government to achieve their goals.
Before downloading the paper, view our short video explaining the background to the research.

If you're a follower of this blog (and we appreciate every one of you) we all know that there are PLENTY of reasons to play hard so don't subscribe to the wrong people when it comes to Sask.
Today's victory is going to be as tough to come by as any opponent. The Montreal Alouettes have the ability to play GREAT Defense, and with Gun Slinger Jonathan Crompton manning the helm on Offense, the Als have the potential to run up the score if we're not on our Ps and Qs.
All eyes on the Montreal D vs. The Saskatchewan O today. When the Montreal defenders take the field, one of the things that has made them successful in the past is the way that they use their Dline and Linebackers. The Defensive Coordinator in La Belle Province, Noel Thorpe, is going to throw 3 Dlinemen out there and then use the rest of his talented LB core to round out their front 7. The Alouettes will stunt and move around, challenging the Offensive Line to be on top of their communication and protection assignments in order to create pressure on the QB.
Here's the key...
While the Alouettes front 7 (in whatever form that comes in) is creating chaos, the secondary for the Angry Birds has a propensity to play Man on Man Coverage behind their big guys.
The Saskatchewan Roughrider slot backs, Dress, Bagger, and Rossevelt, MUST WIN THEIR 1 on 1s today as KG probably won't have the time to get the ball deep to his Wider Pass Catchers.
If guys like #7 can win their intermediate routes against talented vets like #17 Billy Parker the Roughriders have a great chance to upend the crossover hopefuls from the Eastern Division...
WINNING THE 1 on 1 BATTLES IN THE SLOT...The Green and White GOTTA HAVE IT!!!

STI Screening
STI vs. STD
You may have asked yourself why we use the term sexually transmitted infection (STI), instead of the term sexually transmitted disease (STD). The term "infection" more accurately describes conditions where sexual partners may not have symptoms and may not be aware that they have an infection, and because many of these infections are actually curable. The term "infection" carries less of a social stigma than the term "disease." STI is used by many leading sexual health organizations.
For More information on STIs, visit the STI pages at GoAskAlice or Brown University Health Education.
It is important to know you cannot test for all Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) and symptoms are not always present. If left untreated, STIs can cause Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) and infertility in women.
It is important to be regularly tested for STIs if you are sexually active or feel you were at risk for exposure. STIs are either curable or manageable; the key is early detection and treatment.
