When you become pregnant, your uterus will form an amniotic sac that will produce amniotic fluid. This fluid acts as protection for your baby while he or she is in your uterus. Oligohydramnios is a condition that can develop where your amniotic fluid levels decrease. This can cause problems for your pregnancy, so it is very important that you bring your fluid levels back up through both medical and at-home intervention.
Increasing Amniotic Fluid with Medicine
1Understand that treatment is based on how far along you are in your pregnancy. The recommendations your doctor will have for treatment will be based on how far along in your pregnancy you are. Generally, your doctor will recommend one of the treatments listed in this section, as well as rehydration at home, which is outlined in the second section of this article.[1]
- If you are not yet in full term, your doctor will monitor you and your levels very closely. Tests such as non-stress and contraction stress tests may be done to monitor your baby's activity. Your doctor may also suggest one of the following medical treatments listed in this method.
- If you are close to full term, your doctor may recommend that you deliver your baby via cesarean section as low amniotic fluid levels right before pregnancy can be dangerous for both you and your baby.
2Get an injection of amniotic fluid. In this process, your doctor will inject the leaking amniotic fluids back into the amniotic sac with a needle. This will help your condition because it will increase the amount of amniotic fluid in your uterus. This procedure is a lot like amniocentesis (a way to check your amniotic fluid levels), except that instead of withdrawing the amniotic fluid, the doctor injects the leaking amniotic fluids back into the amniotic sac with a needle. [2]
- This procedure is often used as a short term fix because amniotic fluid levels tend to drop again after a couple of weeks. However, doctors choose to use this method because it helps them to find the problem that is causing your amniotic fluid levels to be low.
3Get fluid intravenously. Some pregnant women are admitted to the hospital for additional intravenous fluid therapy if natural means of rehydration (like drinking lots of water) are not able to increase the amount of amniotic fluid. If you have tried rehydrating at home with no changes in amniotic fluid levels, you will most likely have to get an IV to stay hydrated.[3]
- Once your amniotic fluid levels are back to normal, you will most likely be discharged.
- Keep in mind that sometimes IV therapy will continue until you are ready to give birth if you are having troubles staying hydrated.
4Use a catheter to increase fluid levels. Amnioinfusion is when Lactated Ringer's Solution or a regular saline solution is infused into the amniotic fluid sac by a catheter. Doing this increases the amniotic fluid levels around your baby and provides extra padding for your baby and the umbilical cord.[4]
- The amount of saline injected will depend on how low your amniotic fluid levels are.
5Talk to your doctor about having a shunt placed in your body. Shunts are used to move body fluid from one place in your body to another. In this case, a shunt diverts fetal urine into your amniotic fluid cavity if the reason you have low amniotic fluid levels is because of fetal obstructive uropathy (kidney problems that decrease amniotic fluid).[5]
Increasing Amniotic Fluid with Home Management
1Drink at least 8 to 10 glasses of water each day. One of the simplest ways to increase your amniotic fluid is to make sure that you are always hydrated. When you increase the amount of water you have in your body, your amniotic fluid levels will also rise.[6]
- Drink water throughout the day and try to drink at least 8 to 10 glasses at a minimum.
2Eat fruits that have water contents. A great way to stay hydrated while also getting good nutrients is to eat fruits and vegetables that have high water concentrations. As stated above, when you increase the amount of hydration your body gets, you will also increase the amount of amniotic fluid you have. Good fruits and vegetables to eat when needing hydration include[7]:
- Vegetables like: Cucumber (96.7% water), iceberg lettuce (95.6%), celery (95.4%), radishes (95.3%), green peppers (93.9%), cauliflower (92.1%), spinach (91.4%), broccoli (90.7%), and baby carrots (90.4%).
- Fruits like: Watermelon (91.5%), tomatoes (94.5%), star fruit (91.4%), strawberries (91.0%), grapefruit (90.5%), and cantaloupe (90.2%).
3Avoid herbal supplements that can dehydrate you. Some herbal supplements can act as diuretics that make you have to urinate more. The more you go to the bathroom, the likelier you are to become dehydrated. It is very important that you stay hydrated when you are concerned about your levels of amniotic fluid. Herbal supplements to stay away from include:
- Dandelion extract, celery seed, watercress, and parsley.[8]
4Stay away from alcohol. If you are pregnant, you should not drink alcohol at all because it is not good for your baby's health. Alcohol can also dehydrate you and cause your amniotic fluid levels to shrink.
5Do light exercise regularly if your doctor has not asked you to get bed rest. You should try to get at least 30 to 45 minutes of non-weight bearing exercise every day. Exercises promote an increased blood flow to the different areas in your body. If there is an increased blood circulating in the uterus and placenta, there is also an increase in the amniotic fluid index and fetal urine production rate (the amount your baby urinates). As your baby passes more urine in the amniotic sac, the volume of the amniotic fluid increases. Exercises you should consider doing include:
- Swimming or water aerobics. These are the best exercises to do when you are pregnant because it takes all the weight of your baby off of you.
- Walking and light hiking.
6Lie on your left side when you relax. If your doctor has asked you to stay in bed (what is referred to as complete bed rest) you should lay on your left side when you can. When you lie on your left side, your blood flows more smoothly through the uterine blood vessels and allows your baby's blood flow to also move at a regular rate. This may cause the amniotic fluid index to rise.
7Talk to your doctor about changing your prescription if you are taking Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors (ACE). ACE inhibitors are medications that help to lower your high blood pressure by stopping your body's conversion of Angiotensin I to Angiotensin II. While it is normally good to take these medications, you should not take them while you are pregnant because they can lower the amount of amniotic fluid that your body creates.[9]
Understanding Oligohydramnios
1Understand what amniotic fluid's purpose is. The most important thing that amniotic fluid does is keep your baby safe while he or she is in the womb. It does this by cushioning your baby. It also has other functions, which include:
- Keeping the baby warm.
- Acting as a lubricant. Sometimes, some babies are born with webbed fingers and toes due to insufficient amount of amniotic fluid.
- Promoting proper lung and kidney development.
- Helping the baby move freely, which in turn lets him/her exercise the limbs and become strong.
2Be aware of the symptoms of oligohydramnios. Oligohydramnios is the condition that occurs when your amniotic fluid gets very low (specifically below 300 ml). If you are concerned that you might have developed this condition, you should always talk to your doctor. If you are concerned you might develop the condition in the future, it is helpful to know what to look for. Symptoms include:
- Leakage of amniotic fluid.
- Your abdomen is smaller than you think it should be given your gestational period (how long you have been pregnant).
- Feeling like your baby is moving around less.
- Smaller than expected urine amounts when you go to the bathroom.
- Visible lack of amniotic fluid when you get an ultrasound.
3Be aware of the risk factors that could lead you to having low amounts of amniotic fluid. There are some conditions or factors that can predispose you to having troubles with your amniotic fluid amounts. Some of the more common reasons include:
- If your baby is small for his or her gestational age.
- If you have high blood pressure while you are pregnant (a condition called pre-eclampsia).
- If your placenta partially or completely peels away from your uterine wall even before the onset of delivery. This condition is known as abruptio placenta.
- If you are having identical twins. If identical twins share a placenta, sometimes their amniotic fluid levels become out of balance. This happens when one twin gets more blood via the placenta than the other.
- If you have certain medical conditions like lupus.
- If you are in post-term pregnancy. If your pregnancy has gone over 42 weeks, you have a higher risk of low levels of amniotic fluid due to declining placental function – amniotic fluid starts to decrease by the 38th week of pregnancy.
4Understand that low levels of amniotic fluid can generally only be diagnosed by ultrasound. The actual volume of amniotic fluid cannot be safely measured directly so the condition is diagnosed by using ultrasounds that check the amniotic fluid index (AFI).[10]
- A normal AFI range is between 5 and 25 cm.
Community Q&A
QuestionHow can I increase the liquid level in 38 weeks of pregnancy for normal delivery?Community AnswerDrink 2 liters of water per day and consume plenty of fruits to stay hydrated.
QuestionMy amniotic fluid is 7 cm, is this normal or not?Community AnswerIt depends on the number of weeks you are pregnant. If you are close to your delivery, your water levels should be at least 10 cm or more, but this is nothing to worry about. Drink 1.5-2 liters of water daily, eat fruits such as watermelon, pears, apples, and strawberries, Drink at least a glass or two of milk per day and a glass of juice or coconut water per day. The main idea is to keep yourself hydrated as much as possible. Sleeping on your left side also helps to increase your water levels.
QuestionI'm 34 weeks pregnant and my fluid level is 8. Is that okay?Community AnswerIt is likely not sufficient. Drink plenty of water, eat fruits that have a high water content and consult your doctor.
QuestionI am 25 weeks pregnant and my amniotic fluid is leaking. What is the best way to deal with this?Community AnswerStay calm, call your doctor and go to the nearest hospital.
QuestionMy amniotic fluid is 6.1 and I'm 28 weeks pregnant. How can I increase my amniotic fluid?Community AnswerOne natural way is to drink plenty of water, about 8-10 glasses a day. Eating a healthier diet with more fruits and vegetables helps as well. You should always call your doctor with any concerns you have about amniotic fluid levels.
QuestionMy wife's AFI is 26 CM. Should I be worried about this?Community AnswerThat seems bit high, but I would only be concerned if the doctor is concerned.
QuestionHow can I tell if I have a normal amniotic fluid level?Community AnswerUltrasound can tell you that. Usually, your doctor will measure your fundal height at every appointment, and if there is something abnormal, they will usually refer you for a scan. During the scan, the technician will measure the baby, look at its position and look for any other abnormalities.
How do I know if my amniotic fluid will be a problem if I'm pregnant?
If I have low amniotic fluid, is it risky for me to travel? I am 29 weeks pregnant.
With low levels of amniotic fluid and being 29 weeks pregnant, should I just refrain from any travelling?
My AFI is 8 centimeters at 37 weeks. Should I be concerned?
I'm at 37 weeks and my amniotic fluid is 17 cm. Is that a good level?
- Make drinking water more enjoyable by adding splashes of fruit juice to it to give it some flavor.
- If you are at all concerned that you may have low levels of amniotic fluid, talk to your doctor right away.

Article SummaryX
If you want to increase your amniotic fluid, drink at least 8-10 glasses of water each day so you're always hydrated. Additionally, eat fruits and vegetables with a high water content such as cucumber, tomatoes, or watermelon. If your doctor has not advised you to rest, aim to do 30-45 minutes of non-weight bearing exercise each day. Alternatively, if your doctor has told you to rest, try to lie on your left side as this helps blood flow through the uterus.

ASHEVILLE, N.C. - Some US product makers saw the writing on the wall years ago and started taking suspected toxins like PVC's out of their baby products long before it was vogue, in the headlines or lawmakers ordered them to.
ASHEVILLE, N.C. - Some US product makers saw the writing on the wall years ago and started taking suspected toxins like PVC's out of their baby products long before it was vogue or in the headlines or lawmakers ordered them to.
With the China toy crisis on parent's minds, Becky Cannon, the president of a North Carolina company that makes non-toxic children's products called "i-play.", advises that being proactive is better than being reactive: "Awareness of the dangers of PVC to children is new in the US. In 2002, we began distributing our products in Japan and Europe and changed our manufacturing processes to meet their safety standards, which are more stringent than in the US. We researched PVC and decided to make all of our products PVC free because of the potential harmful effects," said Cannon. She believes it's the responsibility of the manufacturer to set the standards with contractors and monitor those standards.
In the US, PVC is commonly used in the production of waterproof baby products such as bibs, teething devices, and toys. It is a rigid plastic made with bisphenol A and phthalates as softeners for pliability. Elements such as lead, cadmium, and organotins are used as stabilizers. These additives have been linked to endocrine (hormone) disruption and some types of cancer. Chemicals leach from the plastic when it is sucked or chewed for any length of time and can be ingested. Because babies and children are at delicate points of development, ingesting these products can cause potential serious damage.
Cannon says she's been an advocate of the organic movement before organics came into vogue and i play.. Her company also offers a new line of organic cotton baby wear and accessories.
i play products can be found at most specialty children's stores as well as online retailers and many Whole Foods stores.

Horse Portraits
I love to be around horses and I love to try and capture the grace and beauty of a horse in pencil. The horse is probably one of my favourite subjects to draw, but also the most challenging, espcially hooves!
On this page, you can view a selection of horse portraits drawn over the last few years. These drawings are interesting as you can see how my style has developed.
A horse's portrait makes a lovely gift for the proud horse owner, or as a memento for the future. If you are interested in having a commission drawing done of your horse, or one done as a gift, please have a look at my Commissions page for more details and costs.
As with all web sites, click on an image above to see a bigger version
Horse portrait commission, on A4 Bristol Board paper. This commission was a pleasure to do, the client requested it with plenty of time to spare, so I could take that little bit extra care when drawing this one.
Horse portrait commission, on A4 Bristol Board paper. This one was a bit of a rush commission, which I don't really like to do. But it did turn out quite good in the end.
Commission of a horse called Storm. A3 size on the usual Bristol Board paper.
Just a drawing I did for fun, I really liked the composition of the head, not looking at the viewer but out in to the distance. Graphite on A4 Bristol Board.
Commission drawing of a Horse called Levitt. Levitt has passed away, and the client requested that this be done on A3. Was quite a challenge to do, as I obviously had to work from older photos. A3 Bristol Board, image size approx 13 x 9 inches.
Commission drawing of a Horse called Sox requested for a wedding present. Was quite a rush job, only had 2 weeks to get this one done. Based on photo supplied by the client. I removed some tack and adjusted one of his ears. Image size was approx 9 x 5 inches, on A4 Bristol Board.
Commission drawing of a Horse called Tyler. This was a 2 set commission, the other drawing was a full body version of Tyler.
Private collection, a drawing of Raffles, a Cob Pony cross that we were very lucky to help share and look after. A horse with lots of character and the intelligence to go with it.
Commission drawing of a horse called Savanah, one of my earlier commissions, interesting to see how my style has changed.
Bravestar, my first ever commission, so holds a special place in my heart. Sadly, since this commission, Bravestar has passed on. The consolation, is that the owner has this drawing to remember him by.

Priwono, Junardis (2007) The Relationship between the bankruptcy risk an the value of the company in telecommunication industry. Bachelor thesis, Petra Christian University.Full text not available from this repository.
This research is examining the relationship between the risks of bankruptcy of companies in telecommunication industry with the value of the companies. The purpose of this research is to find the significance of relationship between the bankruptcy risk and the company value. The models utilized in this research are the Altman Z-Score prediction of bankruptcy and the EBITDA multiple valuation method. The data then will be analyzed using Pearson correlation method to find the correlation among the variables and Chi Square to find the significance of the relationship. The research found that there is no significant relationship between the bankruptcy risk and the value of the company for the telecommunication company. However, the writer beandes that the nature of the industry also playing an important role on this result.

Sport Pre-hab
Pre-hab, or pre-rehabilitation is training performed prior to initiating sport specific training. It is preventative health care focused on the acquisition and development of the cardiovascular base building and the fundamental functional movements required by sport (e.g. bouncing, hopping, skipping, single leg balance, back/hip/knee/ankle flexibility are running prehab).
Injuries often result from athletes engaging in training without having a sufficient base of cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, prerequisite movement ABCs (i.e. agility, balance, and coordination), and/or sport specific technique.
Assessing an athletes strengths and weaknesses prior to initiating training for any event, be it a marathon, triathlon, or swim competition will identify problem areas likely to morph from ache and stiffness into pain and injury derailing training plans and competition schedules.
Using the off-season or early training season to address impairments and imbalances before they manifest into full blown injuries will set an athlete up to achieve their training and competition goals.

L, Reis, R., Adams, M., Frank, L. & Sallis, JF. (2016). International comparisons of the associations between objective measures of the built environment and transport-related walking and cycling: IPEN adult study. Journal of Transport and Health,3(4), 467-478. Netherlands: Elsevier BV. Retrieved from https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jth.2016.02.010
Introduction: Mounting evidence documents the importance of urban form for active travel, but international studies could strengthen the evidence. The aim of the study was to document the strength, shape, and generalizability of relations of objectively measured built environment variables with transport-related walking and cycling. Methods: This cross-sectional study maximized variation of environments and demographics by including multiple countries and by selecting adult participants living in neighborhoods based on higher and lower classifications of objectively measured walkability and socioeconomic status. Analyses were conducted on 12,181 adults aged 18–66 years, drawn from 14 cities across 10 countries worldwide. Frequency of transport-related walking and cycling over the last seven days was assessed by questionnaire and four objectively measured built environment variables were calculated. Associations of built environment variables with transport-related walking and cycling variables were estimated using generalized additive mixed models, and were tested for curvilinearity and study site moderation. Results: We found positive associations of walking for transport with all the environmental attributes, but also found that the relationships was only linear for land use mix, but not for residential density, intersection density, and the number of parks. Our findings suggest that there may be optimum values in these attributes, beyond which higher densities or number of parks could have minor or even negative impact. Cycling for transport was associated linearly with residential density, intersection density (only for any cycling), and land use mix, but not with the number of parks. Conclusion: Across 14 diverse cities and countries, living in more densely populated areas, having a well-connected street network, more diverse land uses, and having more parks were positively associated with transport-related walking and/or cycling. Except for land-use-mix, all built environment variables had curvilinear relationships with walking, with a plateau in the relationship at higher levels of the scales.

My second post for Sunday!
Say what??! lol
What can I say? I'm on a roll.....
I was able to create another layout. This layout features one of my fave companies...Fancy Pants Designs. It was created for a certain layout in mind. Let me explain.
I have been scrapbooking for almost 13 years. At a time when scrapbooking was not what it is now, AND in an area where it was almost impossible to find any scrapbooking supplies, especially English ones. I literally searched the whole city of Montreal to find supplies. I did find some here and there...in sewing shops, camera shops, etc. Get the point?? And the Internet was not what it is now. So, I made do with what I could find, and improvised here and there. I did find some catalog retailers, and excitedly ordered from them.....at 'regular' prices. Geez! I wish I knew then what I know now, know what I mean??
Fast forward a few years. One day, at my kitchen table, I was 'surfing' (I was still a newbie at this Internet stuff---still am...kinda!) and Guess what I found?? A scrapbook deal site..Scrapbooksteals.com. And their sale at that particular time was the Fancy Pants designs 'to the Moon ' Collection. Excitedly, I purchased my very first 'name brand' scrapbook supplies!!! I was in heaven---and the shipping was speedy!
When I received my package, it was beautiful! lol And that was the start of it all......
It is now Scrapbook Steals 4th birthday. Congrats to them! And to celebrate, they are celebrating with challenges. I did 2 of the 4 challenges.
Challenge #3--fave vendor:
I must admit, Fancy Pants will always have a spot in my heart. I literally love all their designs, and am loving them more and more with their new collections. 98% of this layout is Fancy Pants, with some Making Memories silver letters, and American Crafts Thickers.
Challenge #4--Washi fever.
So, 2 challenges are done--I hope to get 2 others done.
Happy Birthday, Scrapbook Steals!! Here's to many more!
Be safe. Get crafty.

A phenomenal defensive effort kept it close all day, but was ultimately wasted as the freefalling Dallas Cowboys fell short to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday at AT&T Stadium, 13-12.
The Seahawks' offense looked to be clicking on all cylinders out of the gate, marching 72 yards in just over six minutes before the Cowboys' defense woke up and they were forced to turn it over to kicker Steven Hauschka, who gave the visitors a 3-0 lead on a 26-yard field goal.
On a day when points were at a premium, the Cowboys didn't respond until the end of the first quarter, when Dan Bailey tied it up with a 33-yarder.
The Seahawks found the end zone in the second quarter, when Russell Wilson hit Luke Wilson for a 22-yard touchdown pass, which at the time might have been read as Wilson and co. finding their rhythm, but stood as the only touchdown of the game.
The Cowboys answered with a 35-yard Dan Bailey field goal to pull within four at 10-6, but for a moment, it looked like they'd have a chance to keep the drive moving toward the end zone and maybe tie it up. Coming out of a timeout, the Seahawks' defense lined up with 12 men on the field. Pete Carroll called a timeout, but they were coming out of a timeout, remember, so that's not allowed. It should have been a 15-yard penalty. But they stopped the clock anyway, and had Bailey just line up for the field goal again as if nothing ever happened.
The first half ended on a scary note.
Seahawks' return man Ricardo Lockette was hit by Jeff Heath on the ensuing kickoff, crumpled to the ground and stayed there. Seahawks players and staff immediately rushed to Lockette's side, and he was carted off, waving his hands in the air as he exited the field. Later in the game, it was reported that he had merely suffered a concussion.
There wouldn't be a whole lot more offense in the second half.
The Cowboys closed to within three on a 52-yard field goal off the foot of Bailey in the third quarter, then took the lead on a 27-yarder in the fourth, at 12-10. But while they took the lead, the field goal marked another failure by the offense, as they had gotten the ball at the Seattle 12-yard line after Greg Hardy intercepted Russell Wilson.
With five and a half minutes remaining, the Seahawks marched 79 yards on 17 plays to set up the 24-yard field goal attempt from Hauschka, which he put through the uprights for the victory, 13-12.
In his return to action, Dez Bryant had 12 yards on a pair of catches, but was on the field for most of the game, which is a good sign. Matt Cassell finished a pedestrian 13-of-25 passing for 97 yards.
At 2-5, and losers of their last five, the Cowboys will host the Eagles on Sunday Night Football next week.

When It's Time To Clean Your Ears, Avoid Q-Tips At All Costs
You'll never use q-tips again after knowing about this...
"Don't put anything in your ear smaller than your elbow." That might not be a phrase that most people are familiar with, but you better believe it's true. So what about Q-tips? They're the go-to for most when it comes time to get squeaky clean ears, but they're certainly smaller than the elbow of even a newborn. Well, hate to break it to you, but, according to audiologist and professor William H. Shapiro, those cotton buds have simply got to go.
As Shapiro explains, earwax is actually a good thing! Without it, your ear is left open to all kinds of foreign objects, even minuscule ones like dust, which can impact the way you hear. And, he's right, where most people are concerned, when he says you shouldn't remove wax from your ear. However, for many, earwax, clinically known as cerumen, can cause some problems. In fact, according to the chairman of the Guideline Development Task Force for the American Academy of Otolaryngology (the study of the ears, nose, and throat) Richard Rosenfeld, about 12 million people each year "in the U.S. seek medical care for impacted or excessive cerumen," ending in about 8 million cerumen removals, undertaken by health care professionals. Excessive or impacted earwax can result in pain, itching of the ear, tinnitus, or even hearing loss, so if you suspect you've got a problem, it's important to get checked out by a professional.
So, what if you feel you have a blockage, but you want to avoid Q-tips? Many doctors recommend over-the-counter treatment first such as Debrox or Murine, liquid drops that soften the wax and allow it to drain out of the ear. You can also grab one of those bulb syringes that are so popular with parents of congested infants.
Use it to gently flush the ear with sterile, warm (approximately body temperature) water to attempt to irrigate the ear canal safely.

Definitely deserving of that Talent Hunt win. Read Full Review
The winner of the 2015 TOP COW TALENT HUNT give an interesting take on a classic sci-fi theme. Creators Amit Chauhan and Eli Powell have us crash on a dying planet along with our protagonist. We follow her through a deadly alien adventure! Read Full Review
I'm excited that The 13th Artifact exists, and honestly, I'm a little proud of Image for doing things like this. I do belive it's important to support new artists and creators, and this is a huge effort to do so. As for you and your buying habits, this is a one shot that will cost you a few bucks and send a huge message, and you'll get a good story, a neat world, and some really decent art of it. You may not be left drooling for more, but that can be kind of a good thing, too. Check this one out, and you're done. There's a lot less stress to check something out when you're spending four bucks, instead of maybe getting hooked and spending hundreds. Read Full Review

If you're a fan of sci-fi/horror mash-ups with a Twilight-Zone-y feel to them, it's definitely worth checking out. I'll be keeping my eye out for artist Eli Powell's work in future; I'm including an alternate cover he did for IDW's Infinite Loop #6 to give you a visual of his style, that was very appealing to me: Read Full Review

A judge tells Secretary of State Debra Bowen to explain her actions in writing by July 30 or undo the ballot order she set Monday.
By Anthony York, Los Angeles Times
July 11, 2012
SACRAMENTO — A state appellate court has asked Secretary of State Debra Bowen to explain why she allowed Gov. Jerry Brown's tax initiative to be placed above all other propositions on the November ballot.
Judge Vance W. Raye gave Bowen until July 30 to explain her actions to the court in writing or undo the ballot order she set Monday for the 11 measures. Brown's tax proposal, Proposition 30, was placed first among all initiatives.
Raye's ruling came in a case originally brought by Molly Munger, who is backing a tax measure that competes with Brown's.
A lower court judge on Monday rejected Munger's claim that election workers in Los Angeles County gave Brown's measure preferential treatment. Munger then dropped her challenge, but the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Assn., which had intervened on her behalf, appealed.

Relief for Dry Eyes: BioTears First*
BioTears First - the healthy tear film standard of care.*
BioTears is a patented next-generation dietary supplement from the inventors of HydroEye. It is designed to systemically address the root inflammatory cause and effects of dry eye syndrome. It's suggested in peer-reviewed literature that these specific nutrients support normal production of lubricants in other affected parts of the body, such as mucous membranes of the mouth and vagina, and interior body surfaces such as joints and synovial membranes. BioTears addresses the structure and function of the tear film, which is vital for visual clarity.*
BioTears Oral GelCaps contain the optimal blend of Omega 3 and Omega 6 essentials fatty acids, plus all the nutrient co-factors suggested to enhance the metabolic conversion associated with the tear-specific series one anti-inflammatory prostaglandin, PGE1.*
BioTears Oral GelCaps include nutrients that are suggested to appropriately inhibit the essential fatty acid arachidonic acid production of the COX2 enzyme, the pro-inflammatory prostaglandin PGE2, and Interleukin Il-6.*
BioTears Oral GelCaps include nutrients that are suggested to modulate goblet cell/mucin production in both the stimulated and unstimulated tear, the lacrimal gland aqueous output, as well as the meibomian gland oil output, which is vital to the prevention of evaporative dry eyes.*
BioTears Oral GelCaps also contain APO-Lactoferrin, which is suggested to inhibit the growth of both viral and bacterial pathogens in the three-layer tear film.*
Condition Overview*
Dry eyes, often referred to as Dry Eye Syndrome, is the most frequent patient complaint to eye doctors. Lack of successful treatment is the primary reason patients change eye doctors.*
On Living With Dry Eyes: From the English teacher's blog*
Who threw the sand in my face?*
What streetfight*
Was I in last night?*
I remember a book*
I am waiting for the forty-four days of rain.*
I am waiting for my trial in the desert to end.*
Who gave the nameless their names?*
Pathology of the three-layer tear film:
The Mucus Layer - the closest layer to the corneal epithelium. It is produced by the conjunctival goblet cells, and is absorbed by the corneal surface glycoproteins, creating a hydrophilic surface. Mucin deficiency, or mucopolysaccharide abnormalities, can lead to poor wetting or glycation of the corneal surface with subsequent desiccation and epithelial damage, even in the presence of adequate aqueous tear production.*
The Aqueous Layer - the layer between the mucous and lipid layers. It is secreted by the lacrimal gland and incorporates all water-soluble components of the tear film. It also comprises 90% of the tear thickness. The aqueous layer provides moisture and supplies oxygen and important nutrients to the cornea.*
The Lipid Layer - the most superficial layer. It is produced by the Meibomiam glands with contributions from the glands of Zeis and Moll of the eye lids. The secretion is an oily material, which is fluid at body temperature and retards evaporation of the aqueous layer and lowers surface tension, thereby allowing the tear-film to adhere to the eye's surface. Androgen receptors are located in both the lacrimal and meibomian glands. A decrease in circulating androgen hormones can result in loss of the oil laye, exacerbating the evaporative tear loss.*
The Blink Reflex renews the tear film by delivering aqueous and lipid to the tear film and sweeping away debris. The normal blink interval is about 5 seconds under normal conditions. The tear film is typically stable for about 10 seconds. Tears are normally evaporated or forced out through the nasolacrimal ducts in the inner corner of the eyes on blinking.*
The Root Causes of Dry Eye Syndrome:
Many different things cause dry eye syndrome. The normal aging of tear glands, as well as extended use of contact lens, environmental pollutants, prescription drugs, refractive surgery, auto immune diseases, nutrient deficiencies and other disorders can cause disruption in the tear production and retention process.*
The typical symptoms of the dry eye syndrome include dryness, grittiness, irritation, difficulty reading for long periods of time, burning and even the apparent contradiction of excessive tearing or watering. In extreme cases of dry eye, patients may become unusually sensitive to light, experience severe eye pain, and start to notice diminished vision. Successful treatment may be needed to avoid permanent damage.*
Blepharitis can often cause dry eye symptoms due to inflammation of the eyelid margins, which is caused by a bacterial infection (Staphylococci). This condition can compromise the quality of the tear film causing tears to evaporate more quickly. The bacteria produce waste material that can cause a mild toxic reaction leading to chronic red, irritated eyes.*
Extended Contact Lens Wear can result in dry eye from corneal oxygen and nutrient deficiency. Protein build-up on contact lens can produce a breeding ground for bacterial growth and surface roughness, further contributing to inflammatory changes. Some contact lens solutions contain preservatives that can also cause chemical irritation of the corneal surface and result in dry eye symptoms.*
LASIK Surgery temporarily disrupts the ocular surface/lacrimal gland unit. Also, during LASIK, roughly 60-70% of the superficial nerve fibers in the cornea are severed, which reduces sensation and affects aqueous tear production and delays wound healing. With compromised sensation, the blink rate can slow to the point that the tear film breaks up before the next blink can reconstitute. Though this condition usually clears up after a few months, it may result in mild to severe dry eye syndrome for several months after surgery.*
Diseases that may be associated with dry eyes include Rheumatoid Arthritis, Sjogrens Syndrome, Diabetes, Asthma, Thyroid disease, Lupus, and possibly Glaucoma.*
Age - Dry eye syndrome affects 75% of people over age 65. Tear volume decreases from age 18 as much as 60% by age 65.*
Hormonal changes cause decreased tear production brought on by pregnancy, lactation, menstruation, and menopause.*
Medications that can cause dry eyes are antibiotics, blood pressure medications, antidepressants, diuretics, over-the-counter vasoconstrictors such as Visine, antihistamines, birth control pills, appetite suppressants, and ulcer medications.*
Computer Use causes most people to blink less frequently (about 7 times per minute vs. a normal rate of around 22 times/minute). This leads to increased evaporation along with the fatigue and eye-strain associated with staring at a computer monitor. Any task requiring a great deal of concentration can result in decreased blink rate.*
The conventional treatment for dry eyes is to treat the symptoms not the cause:
Artificial Tears: Some form of over-the-counter artificial tears is usually recommended. Although they may provide temporary relief, they merely palliate the symptoms. Worse, the preservatives can aggravate the condition, and can even kill corneal cells. Tears that promise "get the red out"*
Punctal Occlusion: Punctal occlusion is a procedure used to help dry eye patients by closing the tear drainage canals with silicone plugs, which keep most of the fluid from leaving the surface of the eye. This may provide long-term relief.*

what's the lesson you live by?
This is a pretty good question because as a 25-year-old woman I would say that I most definitely haven't got my life together just yet. I am known for drinking way too many cocktails and moaning that I should have won the lottery by now. However, last year February I had to learn the hardest lesson of all; family is everything. Don't get me wrong, I always knew family was important but as a teen/young woman you take them for granted.
My 18-year-old brother died suddenly in February 2016 and I must admit I still don't believe it to this day. I never thought in a million years that I would need to worry about my little brother dying. It's one of those things you hear about but you think it will never happen to you. You hit a state of shock, a brick wall. For the first six months, I walked around like a zombie. I became so angry that the world just carried on living whilst my entire world had collapsed. Dealing with grief and trying to offer support to my mum and sister is incredibly difficult. This tragedy will haunt us forever and every day I am smacked in the face with different emotions. The loss of someone is never easy and the pain DOES NOT go away.
The only lesson I can learn from this is to treasure everyone and everything because you never know when you will have your last moment with them. I know life gets in the way and mundane things such as work, arguments etc stops us from remembering what is important, but we must snap out of it. Doing well for yourself, getting that promotion, buying your dream car and living the life of luxury will mean nothing if you don't have your loved ones around you. Without making this post too depressing, I want to use my story as a reminder for us all to be so grateful for all the good things in life. Say I love you every day, spend more time with your family and always do the things that make you happy.
I had to learn the hard way that is life is so tough, we will all have good and bad days. There will be times when you want to give up but don't! life is so precious so embrace it and have as much fun as possible. This experience has shaped me into a completely different person. I am grateful, fearless and want to make my brother very proud. There will be a time when everyone will go through the pain of losing someone they love but just know you are not alone. Life is short and we only get one chance at it so if you are currently unhappy with your current situation, shake up your entire life. Go after your dream job, get a horse, make a family or move to Hawaii. Do all the things that scare you as this will make life worthwhile. One last thing before I go, always be grateful and never take anyone or anything for granted.
My do's and don't for the week;
- DO go on a major shopping spree on payday and live off beans on toast for the rest of the month.
- DON'T stalk your ex on Instagram, it will ruin your entire week!
- DO buy glamour magazine every month just to read Dawn O' porters column.
- DON'T compare yourselves to others, you are a badass.
- DO snooze your alarm, stay in bed longer and blame TFL for the reason why you're late.
- DON'T eat that whole packet of biscuits, you will regret it when you finally make it to the gym.
Love Demi Enchanted

The pattern is Lloyd and Lola by Elizabeth Hartman. I made this quilt for my daughter, she rarely asks for a quilt but this caught her eye and I have to admit to being a llama lover myself.
The faces have a lot of pieces, around 50 each I think, and took some time, but I love their look and and think they really do look like lamas.
You may have noticed that the pattern has two full size llamas, my daughter requested a mama llama and a baby llama. I thought cutting the fullsize pattern in half would result in a baby llama that was too small, so I went with 3/4 the original pattern. 2/3 might have been a little better but the math would have been a killer. If you're ever playing around with patterns reducing or enlarging by 25, 50 or 75 percent is a breeze, because you usually end up with pieces that have 1/8ths or 16ths, manageable and on rulers.
I hope your year is off to a great start, I'm finally over the flu and a sinus infection and packed up the last of my Christmas decorations yesterday, Christmas was a long season at my house this year. But now I"m feeling better and expect to spend some quality time in my sewing room the month of February.

Roy Hodgson marked his first day as England manager by completing the makeup of his backroom staff ahead of the European Championship with the eye-catching appointment of Gary Neville as a coach.
Neville, capped 85 times, has signed a four-year contract with the Football Association and will combine his duties in the national setup with work as a pundit with Sky Sports on Premier League and Champions League matches.
Hodgson is to name his squad for Euro 2012 at Wembley on Wednesday and is expected to include Tottenham Hotspur's Scott Parker and Kyle Walker despite injury concerns, together with Chelsea's Gary Cahill, with the trio all confident they will be fit for the finals.
They will be included in a party that could now amount to more than 23 names with Hodgson considering naming cover for the Chelsea contingent of players – Cahill, Ashley Cole and Frank Lampard – who may be involved in the Champions League final against Bayern Munich on Saturday. Those players who feature at the Allianz Arena in Munich may be granted extra time off next week, with others travelling to Oslo as backups with the England squad for the friendly against Norway on 26 May.
Neville, a European Cup winner who holds Uefa A and B coaching licences, will be part of the coaching setup for that fixture, with Hodgson having suggested the veteran of 602 appearances for Manchester United would make an "invaluable" contribution to the coaching staff, and this could yet prove to be the first step on a long road towards becoming England's manager. He had championed the appointment of Harry Redknapp as Fabio Capello's successor in his newspaper column.
"Gary has achieved so much in the game as a player with Manchester United and England," Hodgson said. "He has obtained Uefa coaching qualifications and will be tremendously respected by the players because of his vast experience. At my first meeting with the FA, I explained that Gary was someone I wanted as part of my staff. I think it is very important we have a younger coach who knows the dressing room and is very experienced at international level. That he has represented England as a player at five major finals tournaments will make him an invaluable member of staff."
The 37-year-old's appointment has been sanctioned by the FA despite Neville having been publicly critical of the organisation, not least when he led the calls for strike action by England players after Rio Ferdinand was banned for missing a routine drugs test in 2004.
He has since been outspoken in objecting to the governing body's handling both of Wayne Rooney's suspension for swearing into a television camera last season, and for the stripping of John Terry of the national captaincy in February. He branded them "inconsistent" and "half‑hearted" on that issue.
Regardless, he will join Ray Lewington and Dave Watson – who have each been employed initially only for Euro 2012 – as well as Ray Clemence on the staff. His employment on a four-year contract suggests Stuart Pearce's long-term future will remain with the Under-21s. "Roy asking me to be a part of his staff and to work with the national team is not only an honour but a very special moment for me," said Neville, whose younger brother, Phil, had gained experience coaching the England Under-21s for the match against Belgium in February.
"I had absolutely no hesitation in accepting this role and I am relishing the opportunity to work alongside Roy and the team at the Euros and through to the next two tournaments."
Hodgson has already contacted some senior England players to gather information before the squad announcement, and spoke last week with Steven Gerrard – who is favourite to be appointed as permanent captain – Joe Hart and Rooney, as well as Lille's on-loan Liverpool midfielder Joe Cole. Hodgson has still to speak with either Ferdinand or Terry to ascertain whether they would be comfortable playing in the same team – the latter is due in court on 9 July to face charges of racially abusing Ferdinand's younger brother, Anton – amid suggestions that the Chelsea defender could yet be omitted from the party. The FA has stressed that the decision will be Hodgson's alone.
The manager spent his first full day in the job since leaving West Bromwich Albion at his office at Wembley. He will be boosted by the confidence of Parker – who has been suffering from an achilles problem and underwent an injection on Monday – and Walker, the first-choice at right-back who damaged his ankle during Tottenham's 2-0 win over Fulham on Sunday, that both will be fit and available. Cahill continues to undergo rehabilitation from a hamstring injury sustained in Chelsea's Champions League semi-final second leg at Barcelona but, while he remains a doubt for the final on Saturday, he should be fit for the tournament itself.
It remains to be seen whether Hodgson uses Neville's influence in an attempt to persuade Paul Scholes out of international retirement for the summer tournament, but his goalkeeper at West Bromwich, Ben Foster, has confirmed he will not be available for selection.
Hodgson could hand Peter Crouch, a player he admired during his time at Fulham, a recall to the fold though Glen Johnson is likely to be omitted despite Chris Smalling having already been ruled out with a groin injury.

CFP: 19th-Century African American Women Novelists (3/15/07; M/MLA, 11/8/07-11/11/07)
Midwest Modern Language Association Conference
November 8-11, 2007
The Renaissance Cleveland Hotel
Cleveland, OH
AMERICAN LITERATURE I: The Politics of Recovery: 19th-Century African American Women Novelists
This panel will consider the politics and status of the recovery project as it applies to African American women writers. Over the last 10 years, several "new" writers and their novels have been recovered, notably Hannah Crafts' The Bondwoman's Narrative, and Julia Collins' The Curse of Caste; or The Slave Bride. Beginning with Henry Louis Gates's recovery of Harriet Wilson's Our Nig, the same claim has been made: "the first novel by an African American woman." What is the significance of making this claim? How do these novels complicate, challenge, revise our understanding of the history of the American novel, or of the challenges African American women writers faced before the Civil War? Please send a 250-word abstract (as a Word attachment) to Dr. Rebecca Saulsbury at rsaulsbury_at_flsouthern.edu.
