Music has taken over Eagle Rock.
At least that will be the case Oct. 2 as the 12th Annual Eagle Rock Music Festival will shut down over half a mile of Colorado Boulevard as 50 bands and artists will perform on 11 stages, some of them hosted in auto shops, coffee shops, hotel balconies and restaurants.
From 4 p.m. through 11 p.m., the music explosion will be in full swing, offering an eclectic smorgasbord of diverse sounds and styles. The festival aims to celebrate the varied cultural and ethnic background of Los Angeles.
Featured main stages highlight the event, including the Global Stage, hosted by nonprofit organization Dublab, a web-radio music collective and featuring sounds such as Mahssa's Middle Eastern Pyschedelia, experimental group Lucky Dragons and danceable rap tunes of Egyptian Lover and Arabian Prince.
The other main stages include the Emerging Stage, Experimental Stage, Kids Stage. Non-traditional music venues like Rantz Auto Center will host bands with a Latino vibe including La Santa Cecilia. Other music is also offered, including jazz, blues, hip-hop and more.
Punk rock takes the spotlight at the Blue Hen stage, hosted by arts education group Zocaloc Productions and Razorcake, a bi-monthly zine that features independent punk artists. Their stage features synth-punk band Nervous Gender and Eagle Rock's own Mut!ny.
"The festival is a great way for different styles of music to cross-pollinate, to blur artificial boundaries and for people to discover new bands," said Razorcake co-founder Todd Taylor in an interview with Pasadena Weekly.
Limited free parking is available at Eagle Rock Plaza with a free shuttle provided to the festival.
Although the event is free to the public, a $5 donation is encouraged to help support the Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock and the nonprofit organizations that produce the event.

Brennan Center Access to Justice Updates
Brennan Center Access to Justice Updates:
1) First Star Releases 50-State Report Card on Legal Representation for Abused and Neglected Children in Foster Care; Twenty-One States Receive Low Marks
Children throughout the United States will benefit if states implement findings from a recent report that documents the poor quality of legal representation for abused and neglected children in foster care. In April 2007, First Star, a national child advocacy organization, released A Child's Right to Counsel: First Star's National Report Card on Legal Representation for Children, a 50 state report card rating each state's child welfare system. A shocking 21 states received grades of D or F, and another 11 received C's. Meanwhile, only five states earned A's: Connecticut, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New York, and West Virginia. One of the key criteria for the grading system was whether the state provides a right to counsel to abused and neglected foster children in court proceedings, which many advocates believe is vital for the well-being of children. The report is part of a larger campaign by First Star to guarantee that children in dependency and foster care proceedings will receive attorneys and to develop mandatory standards to guide legal practice for attorneys handling their cases. Deborah Sams, CEO of First Star, says, "Our objective is to improve the lives of abused and neglected children by strengthening the laws that guarantee them effective legal representation. Experts and practitioners across the country agree that children who are represented by well-trained, client directed attorneys in dependency hearings receive the best care and have a much stronger chance for success." To read the report, see: http://www.firststar.org/documents/FIRSTSTARReportCard07.pdf. News Release, Most States Fail to Protect the Legal Rights of Children in Foster Care, New Study Finds, First Star, April 2007.
2) Washington State Approves $5.27 Million in New Funds For Civil Legal Aid
Low-income Washingtonians will benefit from the state legislature's approval of a $5.27 million increase for civil legal aid in its FY 2007-2009 budget, which brings the state's total allocation of funds for civil legal aid to $22.5 million. The legislature's decision to increase funding comes after significant advocacy by the legal services community and the state's judicial branch agencies. The additional funding will assist in filling Washington's justice gap by expanding legal services to rural and isolated communities in the state. Jim Bamberger, the director of Washington State's Office of Civil Legal Aid, says, "For decades the legal aid community has struggled to effectively serve low income people in isolated parts of the state which are disproportionately marked by high rates of poverty and few alternative legal resources." The legal services community has also expressed enthusiasm about the increase. César Torres, the executive director of LSC-funded Northwest Justice Project (NJP), says, "We are grateful for the confidence that the Legislature expressed in NJP and our state-funded partners, and are committed to continuing to deliver high quality, effective legal services that are responsive to the most critical needs of our client communities." News Release, Legislature Increases Civil Legal Aid Funding Services for Rural Communities to Expand New Efficiencies to Be Realized in King County, Washington State Office of Civil Legal Aid, April 24, 2007; also based on original reporting by Brennan Center staff.
3) Washington Supreme Court to Review Claim For Constitutional Right to Counsel in Civil Custody Proceedings
In April 2007, the Washington State Supreme Court agreed to review a case directly addressing the scope of the right to counsel in civil cases under the Washington State Constitution. King v. King involves a woman who lost custody of her children after a five-day trial in which she represented herself while the father was represented by private counsel. Brenda King was the mother and primary parent of three children when her husband sought a divorce. Ms. King attempted unsuccessfully to secure legal representation from civil legal aid programs, because while the programs agreed that she needed assistance, they lacked the resources to represent her. When Ms. King requested court-appointed counsel, the trial court recognized that she was seriously disadvantaged at trial, but ruled that it lacked the authority to grant her request. On April 2, 2007, while King v. King was pending before the state Court of Appeals, the Washington Supreme Court assumed jurisdiction over the case. Six amici have filed briefs in the case, including the National Coalition for a Civil Right to Counsel, the Attorney General of Washington, the Washington State Bar Association, a group of international law scholars, and a group of retired Washington state trial court judges represented by the Brennan Center for Justice and private counsel. Oral arguments in King v. King will be heard on May 31, 2007. Based on original reporting by Brennan Center staff.
4) Commission for the Legal Empowerment of the Poor is Sponsored by United Nations Development Programme to Improve Legal Protection Around the Globe
The United Nations Development Programme is sponsoring the Commission for the Legal Empowerment of the Poor, an innovate initiative to examine how poverty, exclusion, and the law are linked. The Commission, chaired by former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and Hernando de Soto, a leading Peruvian economist, will explore solutions to addressing the needs of poor people around the world. The Commission will specifically focus on the ways in which poverty pushes people to live outside of the rule of law and the role that governments and foundations can play in promoting legal reforms to reduce poverty. One of the Commission's working groups will specifically focus on Access to Justice and the Rule of Law. This working group will look at expanding access for poor people to legal services, ending legal exclusion, and promoting knowledge of the legal system. Secretary Albright says, "This is a wholly different approach to the poverty debate. While many worthy initiatives are underway to fight global poverty, our Commission will focus on a unique and overlooked aspect of the problem: the inextricable link between pervasive poverty and the absence of legal protections for the poor." Significant pro bono assistance for the Commission will be provided by Baker & McKenzie. News Release, Baker & McKenzie Lends Pro Bono Support to UN-Affiliated Legal Empowerment Commission, LawFuel.com, May 1, 2007; News Release, Global Poverty Linked to Scarce Rule of Law, Commission on Legal Empowerment for the Poor, Sept. 13, 2005.

Ten interesting facts most people don't know about iron deficiency. I will write a post soon about easy ways to include extra iron in your diet.
1. Iron deficiency is the most prevalent nutrient deficiency worldwide, it is estimated than 1.6 billion people are iron deficient anaemic and that over 3 billion people are iron deficient.
2. The prevalence of iron deficiency and iron deficiency anaemia is similar in developed and developing nations.
3. Iron deficiency anaemia develops when the body does not have enough iron for a prolonged period so it is subsequently forced to use stored or back up iron supplies resulting in a permanent reduction in red blood cell production .
4. Those at highest risk of iron deficiency are those with rapid blood or iron loss for example menstruating women at a reproductive age and those individuals with increased iron requirements for example young children and pregnant women due to increased growth rates.
5. Iron deficiency in pregnant women has been estimated to be the cause of one in five cases of maternal morbidity and almost 40% of all perinatal maternal deaths are liked to anaemia.
6. Often women will enter pregnancy with adequate iron stores but will develop iron deficiency in the later stages of pregnancy
7. Iron deficiency in pregnant women has been estimated to be the cause of one in five cases of maternal morbidity and almost 40% of all perinatal maternal deaths are liked to anaemia. Iron deficiency anaemic mothers are 30-45% less likely to have favourable pregnancy outcomes. Furthermore, infants born to anaemic mothers are more likely to become anaemic (odds ratio: 5.7) as they are born with less than half of the normal iron stores.
8. It is also believed that iron deficiency and anaemia results in more than 20,000 deaths in children under five years old in the United States.
9. Iron deficiency causes long term negative health implications for example decreased immune mechanisms and morbidity from infections, decreased physical capacity and performance.
10. Iron deficiency is commonly treated through dietary changes and supplementation. Treatment of iron deficiency anaemia varies individually depending on severity; often including dietary changes, supplements and medicines. Severe cases of iron deficiency anaemia may require blood transfusions, direct iron injections and intravenous iron therapy.

Szczesny, Sagna, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Wilshere, Arteta, Cazorla, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Gervinho, Giroud
Subs: Martinez, Rosicky, Podolski, Ramsey, Squillaci, Coquelin, Jenkinson
Podoloski only managed a spot on the bench here but you have to think that's more of a fitness issue than anything, and so despite the win I'd expect him to replace Gervinho or Oxlade-Chamberlain next week. The back line is likely to be fairly settled now with Mertesacker remaining the best combination of upside/security (Gibbs might have marginal attacking value but I'd prefer Mertesacker's security for the same price).
Aston Villa
Guzan, Lowton, Baker, Clark, Lichaj, Herd, Holman, Westwood, Bannan, Benteke, Agbonlahor
Subs: Given, Ireland, El Ahmadi, Bent, Delph, Weimann, Williams
No changes here and this lineup now looks to be pretty settled with El Ahmadi now cast aside aster a promising start to the season. This defense is useful as a spot start play, especially now the starters look to be fairly set in stone. Despite their increased job security of late, it's still hard to see much potential in this midfield so we're really just limited to Benteke (and even his star has faded of late).
Cech, Ivanovic, Luiz, Cahill, Cole, Ramires, Romeu, Mata, Moses, Hazard, Torres
Subs: Turnbull, Lampard, Oscar, Ferreira, Marin, Azpilicueta, Bertrand
After looking promising for a few weeks, Oscar seems to be have been somewhat sidelined and isn't an option at the moment. If I had to guess, I'd suggest this back four gets more minutes than any other until Terry returns with Azpilicueta taking a seat on the bench allowing Ivanovic to slide back to right back. Given their respective price tags though, I'd suggest that Cole is worth the small premium given his safety and small attacking upside.
Howard, Coleman, Jagielka, Distin, Baines, Mirallas, Gibson, Osman, Pienaar, Fellaini, Jelavic
Subs: Mucha, Heitinga, Oviedo, Naismith, Hitzlsperger, Barkley, Vellios
Nothing really to add here as the only changes seem to be at right back with Coleman, Hibbert and Heitinga fighting for minutes. With Distin appearing to have won the second centre back spot, I'd be okay grabbing him for a 0.7m saving over Jagielka, though a lack of success would make me question whether this defense are even worth that kind of investment.
Reina, Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Jose Enrique, Allen, Lucas, Gerrard, Sterling, Shelvey, Downing
Subs: Jones, Cole, Henderson, Coates, Carragher, Fernandez Saez, Morgan
Scoring three without Suarez was obviously a massive plus for this side and with Lucas back in this side, you have to like the balance this side has in the middle of the park. Cole's scoring return could give him some minutes, though I'd imagine they will primarily come at the expense of Downing with Sterling still looking like a useful pickup. That said, he is just 19 and has never played a full season of senior football before, so his owners should at least be mindful of that before penciling him for the remainder of the year.
Man City
Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Nastasic, Clichy, Silva, Toure, Barry, Nasri, Aguero, Balotelli
Subs: Pantilimon, Maicon, Lescott, Dzeko, Javi Garcia, Toure, Tevez
After another disappointing performance, awkward walk down the tunnel and then Tevez's impact off the bench, we might see a sharp decline in Balotelli's minutes and hopefully therefore some increased security for Tevez and Aguero. Dzeko of course is lurking too so this still won't be smooth sailing but a mark against the Italian's name would help clear things up somewhat. This defense has been easier to predict of late with Kolarov out, though if Kompany's absence is long term I'm not sure there's enough value here to justify anyone's price tag.
Man Utd
De Gea, Da Silva, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra, Valencia, Carrick, Cleverley, Young, Rooney, van Persie
Subs: Johnstone, Jones, Giggs, Smalling, Hernandez, Welbeck, Scholes
With everyone who's currently fit, this is probably United's strongest side and one which Rooney owners should cherish as he seems to take on a more traditional forward role when accompanied by Valencia and Young (this is something I am going to look at this week though in more detail). I would imagine we'll see Hernandez, Welbeck et al over the busy Christmas break, but we'll just have to take those hits when they come, and I don't see any reason to be overly concerned about the main assets' playing time here. As with City, the stability we're seeing in the back line isn't overly helpful given the way their playing, and with Smalling and Jones now fit, Rafael owners should be considering if his price tag is too high and whether profit should be taken.
Bunn, Martin, Bassong, Whittaker, Garrido, Johnson, Snodgrass, Howson, Pilkington, Hoolahan, Holt
Subs: Rudd, Jackson, Fox, Morison, E Bennett, Barnett, Tierney
As speculated, Martin came back into the side here and the back line should now be fairly settled, at least until Turner returns, and possibly even beyond. The attacking options look fairly predictable too, though it's still somewhat hard to predict a clear target from the available options. I still like Snodgrass but I wouldn't necessarily assume he's the only option here without taking a deeper look into the stats.
Green, Bosingwa, Nelsen, Hill, Traore, Diakite, Derry, Mbia, Wright-Phillips, Mackie, Taarabt
Subs: Murphy, Ferdinand, Cisse, Granero, Da Silva, Hoilett, Faurlin
We're seeing some stability in this lineup under Redknapp, with Granero the only man to miss out this week. Unfortunately this situation leaves a number of potentially ownable assets on the outside looking in and I'm struggling to see sufficient upside outside of Taarabt to make it worth getting involved with this struggling side.
Federici, Cummings, Mariappa, Morrison, Shorey, Robson-Kanu, Leigertwood, Tabb, McAnuff, Roberts, Le Fondre
Subs: Taylor, Pearce, Hunt, McCleary, Guthrie, Harte, Samuel
Reading had shown some reasonable attacking flashes of late so the double gameweek featuring two defensively questionable teams looked like a good opportunity. Unfortunately they were really outplayed against Southampton and we'll have to hope for better results if any of the double gameweek picks are going to provide returns to their owners. The good news is that the team remains reasonably stable though Guthrie's return will once again cause some competition in the middle of the park.
K Davis, Clyne, Fonte, Yoshida, Shaw, Puncheon, Cork, Schneiderlin, Lallana, Rodriguez, Lambert
Subs: Boruc, Hooiveld, S Davis, Ramirez, Ward-Prowse, Do Prado, Mayuka
Rodriguez continues to cause some trouble here and I wouldn't be surprised to see Puncheon get a game off over Christmas like Ramirez this week, though I wouldn't suggest that this makes him any less ownable. That rotation risk would be diminished if Lallana's absence is long term, though we certainly won't hope for that given how effective he's been this year (and because, well, we're not jerks). This defense have now gone six games without conceding more than once, racking up two clean sheets in the process. Fonte and Clyne therefore represent interesting fifth defender types given their budget price tags. Remember, of course, that the Saints don't have a game next week so any Punch-love you may have should be deferred for another week.
Begovic, Shotton, Huth, Shawcross, Cameron, Walters, Whitehead, Nzonzi, Whelan, Etherington, Jones
Subs: Sorensen, Palacios, Upson, Kightly, Crouch, Wilkinson, Jerome
They might not be exciting but Stoke are about as reliable as they come and the lineup comes with very few question marks. Crouch starting on the bench was more attributable to his dental issues rather than any long term concerns, and so avoiding any further complications I'd imagine he'll be back next week. I'd hoped Wilkinson might return here in place of Shotton, giving us another budget option at the back but until that happens we're left with Cameron and, to a degree, Begovic.
Mignolet, Bardsley, Cuellar, O'Shea, Rose, Johnson, Gardner, Larsson, McClean, Sessegnon, Wickham
Subs: Westwood, Campbell, Kilgallon, Colback, Vaughan, Bramble, Saha
Fletcher's absence was a blow to those who targetted him for the double gameweek, though on the bright side, Adam Johnson was among the points again and may be emerging as another ownable option in this slowly improving Sunderland side. The defense is nicely settled and remains just about ownable, though only really as spot starters against the weakest of opponents, of which there are few on the immediate horizon.
Tremmel, Rangel, Chico, Williams, Davies, Dyer, Routledge, de Guzman, Ki, Michu, Graham
Subs: Cornell, Bartley, Monk, Shechter, Moore, Tiendalli, Agustien
With Britton and Hernandez injured this midfield picked itself, though we're still not really any closer to identifying anyone else for ownership other than the incredible Michu (and I use that word as both a positive and to illustrate genuine surprise that his production hasn't yet regressed). Graham came in for Shechter and I don't think either can be owned until we get a clear picture how that battle will shake out.
Lloris, Walker, Gallas, Caulker, Vertonghen, Lennon, Dempsey, Dembele, Sandro, Adebayor, Defoe.
Subs: Friedel, Huddlestone, Naughton, Sigurdsson, Falque, Livermore, Townsend
No Bale again this week and it really showed in Tottenham's play who were rather fortunate to go ahead on Dempsey's deflected strike, though were equally a touch unlucky to ultimately lose the game. They desperately struggled for width with Dembele and Vertonghen down the left, while Coleman and Mirallas did an excellent job at pushing Walker and Lennon back on the right. Defoe is still ownable in Bale's absence but I'm hesitant to get behind Dempsey who has looked promising of late as I fear Spurs will simply not create enough chances without Bale for him to really shine and justify that price tag.
West Brom
Myhill, Reid, Olsson, McAuley, Ridgewell, Brunt, Morrison, Mulumbu, Gera, Odemwingie, Long
Subs: Daniels, Popov, Rosenberg, Dorrans, Lukaku, Tamas, Fortune
Ridgewell was back in for Popov but left early with injury, which could open up an opportunity if it was long term given Popov's price tag (4.5m). After last week's changes, Clarke restored most of the established players to the first team here, though neither Brunt nor Morrison have really done enough to warrant ownership over the past few weeks.
West Ham
Jaaskelainen, Demel, Collins, Reid, O'Brien, Taylor, Diame, Nolan, Noble, Jarvis, Cole
Subs: Spiegel, McCartney, Tomkins, Maiga, Spence, O'Neil, Moncur
Diame picked up a knock here which would be a blow for Sam Allardyce's side, though probably not enough to overly jeopardise Nolan's value. Defensively, Demel was hauled off at half time for McCartney and thus remains a risk to play in this side. If neither of those players can lock down a starting berth, Joey O'Brien might be worth a look as West Ham have sufficiently good home games coming up to make them spot startable.
Al Habsi, Boyce, Lopez, Jones, Stam, McCarthy, McArthur, Beausejour, Gomez, Di Santo, Kone
Subs: Pollitt, Maloney, McManaman, Boselli, Fyvie, Golobart, Redmond
Maloney appears to have fallen out of favour, which isn't too surprising given Gomez's goals, though still disappointing given the way he's played so far this year. Ramis is set to return this week which could threaten Stam's minutes again, though there's little reason to get involved with this defense anyway.

Former champions Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray face a potential tough US Open quarterfinal after the draw was made for the final Grand Slam of 2014.
World number one Djokovic, who won the title at Flushing Meadows in 2011, is the top seed in the tournament, which is missing injured defending champion Rafael Nadal.
Eighth-seeded Murray, the 2012 US Open winner who hasn't won a title since his 2013 Wimbledon triumph, could face dangerous French ninth seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the round of 16.
Meanwhile, second-seeded Roger Federer has a lighter-looking path, with seventh-seeded Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov his scheduled quarterfinal foe. Two-time defending champion women's champion Serena Williams could find two familiar rivals in her path as she vies for a first Grand Slam title of 2014.
World number one Williams is projected to face Serbian eighth seed Ana Ivanovic in the quarterfinals at Flushing Meadows.
Although Williams leads their career head-to-head 7-1, former world number one Ivanovic ousted the American in the fourth round of the Australian Open in January.
Williams could find herself up against another player who has managed to get the better of her on a major stage in the round of 16 -- Australian Samantha Stosur.
At least Williams doesn't have to worry about a week-one meeting with elder sister Venus, who landed in the bottom quarter of the draw headlined by world number two and second seed Simona Halep and fifth-seeded Russian star Maria Sharapova.
Elsewhere in the women's draw, third-seeded Petra Kvitova and seventh-seeded Eugenie Bouchard were put on course for a quarterfinal clash that would be a re-match of the Wimbledon final.
Czech Republic's Kvitova routed rising Canadian star Bouchard in that clash to claim her second Wimbledon crown.

I don't know about you, but when the leaves start to change color my body automatically begins to crave chili. Whether it's a 3-bean vegetarian or a super spicy beef chili topped with Greek yogurt, my body is like GIMME GIMME.
Not only does chili satisfy my craving for cozy fall food, but my schedule fills up twice as fast in the fall and chili is typically my go-to one-pot meal that'll leave me with leftovers for days. It's quick, easy, and healthy…packed with protein and veggies, too (at least that's how I like it!). I always make sure to top my chili with lots of love; Greek yogurt, corn tortilla chips, and green onions are some of my favs. Sometimes I even make a chili scramble with some eggs or top a baked potato with it for a different twist.
Bloggers know a thing or two about making chili. Get ready for fall with one of these quick and healthy chili recipes!

An abstract affine algebraic $k$-variety is the correspondence which assigns to each $k$-algebra $K$ a set $X(K)$. This assignment must satisfy the following:
(i). For each homomorphism of $k$-algebras $φ : K → K_0$ there is a map $X(φ): X(K) → X(K_0)$
(ii). $X(\operatorname{id}_K) = \operatorname{id}_X(K)$
(iii). For any $φ_0 : K → K_0$ and $φ_1 : K_0 → K_1$ we have $X(φ_1 \circ φ_0) = X(φ_1) \circ X(φ_0)$.
(iv). There exists a finitely generated $k$-algebra $A$ such that for each $K$ there is a bijection $X(K) → \operatorname{Hom}_k(A, K)$ and the maps $X(φ)$ correspond to the composition maps $\operatorname{Hom}(A, K) → \operatorname{Hom}_k(A, K_0)$, where the composition maps are the maps induced by homomorphism of $k$-algebras $\beta :K \to K_0$ in the obvious way (composing), and where $\operatorname{Hom}_k(A,B)$ denotes the set of all homomorphisms of $k$-algebras $f:A \to B$ (i.e ringhomomorphism that fix the field $k$).
Let the correspondence taking a $k$-algebra $K$ $$ K \to O(n,K) = \left\{n\times n \text{ matrices with entries in }K\text{ such that }M^T = T^{-1}\right\} $$ (i.e orthogonal matrix over the $K$-algebra $K$).
Prove that it's an abstract algebraic variety. I proved everything, except that has (iv). I don't know what $K$-algebra $A$ to consider :/.

When I graduated from college in 2009 with my bachelor's degree, I was so happy to be done with school and start my career. I began working as an event manager for a country club, where I stayed and grew to oversee many departments over my 5 years as a manager. In 2013 my husband and I found out we were expecting our first baby, and although we couldn't have been happier, I wondered about my career and what I would want as a mom. I grew up with my mom staying home with me and my three siblings. I always loved having my mom there for us all the time, but I had planned to have a career and a family, and hopefully find a good balance.
I continued working once my son was born, and leaving him each day was heartbreaking. I came to a point in my career where there was no growth opportunities within the company. I wasn't challenged anymore and working late nights and weekends made it hard for me to stay engaged. I decided to leave my job and take some time to figure out my next step while staying home with my son in the meantime. The longer I wasn't working, the more I felt like I was losing out on potential jobs in the future because of my gap in employment. I thought about going back to school; I always wanted to get my MBA, but it was one of those things I always said I wanted to do but for some reason knew that I probably would never actually do it.
I went through a period where I started calling myself out on making plans and not following through on them. I started writing things down, keeping a journal of ideas, goals and gratitude. Writing it down made it more real for me and I felt more accountable to myself as I could see all the things I was wanting to do, but wasn't following through with. I decided to take the GMAT, and once I was accepted to the MBA program at the University of Nevada, Reno, it felt like a weight had been lifted from me. Actually following through on something I had been thinking about for so long felt like a relief. I wondered what else I could accomplish by holding myself accountable to my goals.
Going back to school felt strange to me. I was a non-traditional student, married with two kids and would be graduating when I was 30 years old. It was scary at first because it was new and different, but as I continued through the program I was learning so much valuable information, making many new friends, and became part of a network of resources that I never would have had access to otherwise.
Here are 5 reasons I went back to school:
- To acquire skills for a better job in the future. I value my time with my kids while they are babies and toddlers, but I want to provide a good life and financial start for them in the future as well. When I return to work, I want it to be something I am proud to be investing my time in.
- Personal fulfillment. Learning is exciting, especially when you are making the choice to be there for yourself. Challenging myself to develop new skills and perspectives has opened so many doors for me, and is the reason why I am so focused on personal development. It is an endless endeavor that builds confidence, character and gives a feeling of accomplishment that can't be beat.
- Setting an example. Although my kids are very young now, it is important for them to see me studying and excited to learn and go to class each week. I want them to see from a young age that education is important, and as they grow older I hope they are encouraged to continue learning and engaging in personal development.
- Self-reliance and security. I have no doubts about the future of my marriage, but at a young age my grandfather encouraged me as a woman to be self-reliant and to create my own safety net so that I would not have to rely on anyone to take care of my family and myself. If something were to happen to my husband and he was unable to work, I know that I could provide for our family, and that is very valuable to me. I am in charge of my own future and my own happiness, and continuing to develop myself gives me the ability to ensure that I am creating the life that I want.
- Keeping the balance. I love kids. I love the chaos and the funny things they say, their sweet innocence and unconditional love. I have to admit though, being with them all day every day makes me crave intellectual conversations, adult interactions, and challenges that don't involve toddler tantrums. It is important to have your own time doing something you are passionate about, and school gives me that. It is the bridge between me as a mom and as a professional, which creates a balance that gives me the satisfaction of both worlds.
Being a graduate student has changed my life in many positive ways, I can't even imagine where I would be if I hadn't chose this path. As we get older and have more responsibilities it gets harder to find the time to go back to school or to start anything new for that matter, but it is never too late! The American Council on Education report, Framing New Terrain: Older Adults & Higher Education, shows more older adults are starting to return to college, pursue new career directions, start new businesses, and realize lifelong dreams. Over a lifetime, the gap in earning potential between the high school graduate and those holding a bachelor's degree or higher exceeds $1 million, according to the College Board.
If anything, I encourage people to start a journal and begin writing down their goals, ideas and gratitude. What are you grateful for? How can you build on that to create and realize your own goals? Start small or go big, you don't have to get a master's degree, but hold yourself accountable to your ideas and plans, I promise that great things can happen!

FIVE | molar abuse
Recently, I was talking to my therapist about how conflicted, anxious and full of guilt I was. I told her I felt like I am going to lose it. (Although I have said that to therapists before and they've told me that feeling like I'm going "to lose it" is a pretty good indication that I haven't. Insert "yet" here.) Over this past year, every time I've gone to counseling and we would talk about abuse, I shut down emotionally and physically for days and weeks. It has been eleven years and I still can't say "I was abused" with certainty.
I don't want to live life as a victim. I don't want to live life in self-pity. However, I don't ever want to pretend that I am "healed" and I don't want to pretend that everything is "OK". I do want knowing to be for certain — for real!! But, I'm tired and worn out. I am filled with guilt. I can write words for others to read, but are these words coming from myself? For me, I can't help! I don't want to move on with life, only to realize later that I didn't really go through the steps of recovery and healing I needed to – that I could be better if I only just would have…..
I want to be full of life and confident … not "just" abused, wounded, lonely, uncompassionate, unsocial or depressed. People do it… some do! Some recover from sins committed against them, flourish and find victorious lives aver the storm of turmoil, shame and disgust. I just want it to be not done or done – not in between!! Abused or not abused – not in between!! I still really can't admit that I was abused. I can type about it… it just flows out my fingers to the keyboard – I can't say it!! I can say it – but, not really. I can say it, but I separate myself from the words "I was abused"… that happened to another person. Everyone else has memories. I have several "snapshots" of things I couldn't make up. It makes me believe that I'm making everything up or that something else has happened to make me this way.
I can become very emotional about other people's abuse. I can be very unemotional, almost scientific about myself. To be transparent with you, here is my evidence: I have the personality characteristics of a "typical" abused child. I forget almost everything, especially my childhood. (Well, and numbers… I'm am awful with numbers, but that really doesn't matter.) I have spent years disassociating to the point of not being able to move a muscle in my body, blink or whisper a word. I have panic attacks. I listen for sounds at night. I watch for dark shapes. I hate being under water and am terrified of heights. I have been diagnosed with Clinical Depression. I'm have been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. I have been labeled with an "environmental" learning disability… a learning disability that should have been so debilitating, that I shouldn't have made it through high school – let alone earning two bachelor degrees. I am socially detached – well, I was much more-so as a child. I have had five therapists treat me for abuse. I have been in a support group with other sexually abused women and related to everything they said. I have a few memories, but not like a rickety old movie real – just one second snapshots that come and go… things that no one would ever make up and things that put me in bed for days. I'm not a good wife and I am emotionally detached from my children. (Please know!! As much as I am being honest– I love my kids more than myself and I feel I am a good mom, just not the one I wish I were. Many "normal" women probably feel that way too.) I have been on anti-depressants for seven years. I have screamed so loud, no one could hear.
To function on a daily basis, that's a lot to hide inside… and it takes years of practice!! Is it a surprise that I have taught years of acting, without ever being trained to act myself? Well, now that I think about it… no it isn't! However, the surprise I had, was that people can see through my smile and my frowns, especially trained therapists and other abuse victims. Eventually, abuse pulls the curtain from the stage and rehearsal is over.
So, this remains my storm! Thinking about all the puzzle pieces I have picked up or allowed myself safe enough to find, this is the picture of my journey that I've put together so far…
Thirteen years ago, I had a molar pregnancy when my oldest daughter was just a year old. (I told you pregnancy was ironic to my journey.) I never saw my baby, she was just days old when I miscarried. But, even though I didn't see my baby, hold or have memories of her, I knew I was pregnant — because the doctor's told me. The 20-week maternity clothes told me. The blood tests told me. The surgery told me. Not having a baby didn't mean I didn't have "proof" of being pregnant.
Well, I don't have "proof" that I was abused, because I can't remember, I can't see it or know it is there. But!! Even though I don't like to say it and my family doesn't accept it as true, all the doctors have told me I was abused. The medicines, the learning disabilities, the depression… tests that prove something did happen for me to function the way I do as an adult!! I believe that God has allowed me to not see the memories because I wouldn't be able to handle them. He has protected me, even though He couldn't control the free will and horrific choices of others – He has protected me despite what any man could do.
In short, that's my story. It's the best explanation I have for my journey… I call it Molar Abuse!
On this stormy journey, I am hoping to leave a mark that trauma and abuse recovery isn't easy, comfortable or a short-term event – it is a process and you are not alone!! I'm hoping that by sharing [to the best of my capabilities] throughout my journey, I can reach someone where they are – because no one ever reaches the end of this journey.
Every day is a product of your commitment and effort to make yourself more important than what happened to you. Finding someone who is at the same place as you is difficult. So, I truly pray that readers who find my journal and find a familiar place in their journey will know they are not alone in this lonely place.

Two recent news stories shed more light on the anticoagulant Xarelto, the risks those who use it face and the problems that arose during a study comparing it to an older drug, warfarin. Xarelto is the subject of lawsuits by some users and surviving family members of users whose deaths may be related to the drug. The legal claims are largely based on incidents of uncontrolled bleeding that caused serious injuries or deaths.
People with an abnormal heartbeat known as atrial fibrillation who use Xarelto may be running a slightly greater chance of serious bleeding compared to those using the competing anticoagulant Pradaxa, according to WebMD. Many patients with atrial fibrillation use an anticoagulant to lessen the chance of suffering a stroke. Their downside is a risk of potentially fatal, uncontrollable bleeding.
Two newer drugs, Pradaxa and Xarelto, are being used instead of warfarin (whose brand name is Coumadin) which can be difficult to monitor and requires frequent blood tests. The problem is, Xarelto has no antidote:
- If you're using Xarelto and major bleeding occurs (such as due to a vehicle accident) there is no antidote to help your blood clot to stop the bleeding. There have been cases of Xarelto users in that situation who have bled to death.
- A drug reversing the effects of Pradaxa has been approved.
Studies Show Increased Risk of Bleeding with Xarelto
Xarelto also appears to pose an increased risk of death for older patients compared to Pradaxa according to a study published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine.
- Data was collected on nearly 119,000 Medicare patients with atrial fibrillation treated with either Xarelto or Pradaxa from November 2011 through June 2014.
- The chances of getting a stroke were about the same for users of both drugs.
- There was a small but statistically significant increase in the risk of bleeding in the brain and stomach for those using Xarelto.
- For patients 75 and older Xarelto was linked to a small but statistically significant increased risk of death. There was no proof Xarelto caused the deaths, just that there was, statistically, an association between taking the drug and a higher risk of death.
Defective Blood Testing Device
The circumstances surrounding a previous study does not shed a positive light on Bayer and Janssen Pharmaceuticals, the developers of Xarelto, reports the Pharmaceutical Journal, citing an article in the the BMJ. It reports that:
- Janssen may have kept information from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) concerning a defective blood testing device used in a trial of Xarelto according to an investigation by The BMJ.
- The company is accused of failing to disclose problems with an international normalized ratio (INR) device used to monitor warfarin levels in the study, which compared Xarelto and warfarin in preventing strokes in patients with atrial fibrillation.
- Neither Bayer nor the trial data safety monitoring board for the study were aware of the faulty device, though Janssen looked into the accuracy and reliability of the test during the study.
In February The BMJ, citing the problems with the INR, reported the study's reports were not reliable. Both companies have denied the charge and The European Medicines Agency announced it looked into the issue but decided the INR didn't impact the results. The FDA stated it is looking into the issue but hasn't changed its recommendations for Xarelto use.
If you are on Xarelto, Pradaxa, or warfarin, or your physician recommends you start using a blood thinning medication, discuss the pros and cons of each, the risks that each carry and make an informed decision on the right medication for you. You may see advertisements for these drugs with images and language meant to give you peace of mind, but let the buyer beware.

This one could easily go into the "knock your socks off" category!
Wonderfully rich and bold colors, bold contrast, nice comp, details where you really need it the most, … I like it!
I tend to favor mountain/nature scenes, great architectural/cultural scenes or interesting portraits. But I enjoy a great floral close up and you have outdone yourself with your tulip series. I like the two tulips in the center as the focal point. Very nice!
Gorgeous.. Really like this!
Superb – the colours are just amazing – please feel free to submit blog updates to http://www.photographyvoter.com
For now this is the last one of the Dutch Tulips as you might get bored with them, but maybe later this year I will add some more.
I just wanted to give some counterweight to all the bad news from the past week. I love the USA with its beautiful nature and its people and have many friends there, but I like the fact that over here in Europe it is easier to buy flowers than a gun and bullets, both off-line as well as online. Call me a hippie, but what if an amendment would be The Right to Grow or Receive flowers? It's either that or all teachers should wear guns in school to protect them from students and vice versa. Imagine having to give a bad grade then..
Again, it is amazing how strong the colours were, all of the previous pictures I had to desaturate a bit as they looked a bit fake and oversaturated straight from the camera.
Anyway, I am happy that these grow so close to home and will go out now to buy a few..

Police say they are investigating a report of rape in the Savannah area.
The attack happened last Monday (28 May) but it was only reported on Friday (1 June), according to an RCIPS statement issued Tuesday (5 June).
Police said the female victim was driving toward Bodden Town around 4:30 a.m. on 28 May when she pulled off the road near the intersection of Astral Way and Homestead Crescent, in Savannah. She said she exited her vehicle and was grabbed from behind by a man wearing a mask and dark clothing.
She said the man was accompanied by three other masked men. They pulled her back into her vehicle and drove to a nearby location where she was raped. The culprits then left.
Police are appealing witnesses to call Bodden Town CID at 649-2220.

Goodea Construction
Goodea Construction was founded in 1960 by Richard Goodwill and Thomas Gildea. Since the humble beginning when we completed the new concrete steps for the Meadville Tribune, Goodea Construction has thrived in the construction industry. Goodea Construction began as a small two man operation, but today has transformed into a dynamic, multi-dimensional organization.
Goodea Construction specializes in commercial industrial construction. In this industry, Goodea has multiple specific areas of expertise, including:
- Banking/Financial
- Heavy Manufacturing
- Educational
- Office/School Construction
We have completed a wide variety of projects that varied from multi-story apartment complexes, to Collegiate Sport Facilities. Goodea has been responsible for the construction of multiple Meadville Pa. landmarks such as the Meadville City Building and numerous banks in the Meadville area.
Through the many years since its creation, Goodea Construction has continued to be competitive as well as successful in the commercial construction industry. In 1982 Pipeline Systems, a sister company to Goodea Construction, was formed and began operation primarily in the natural gas industry. In 1996 GilCon and Associates was formed as yet another sister company to Goodea Construction. GilCon's focus is working as an open shop general contractor.
Today, our team includes project planners, estimators, and project managers, all of whom work together to effectively complete the projects at hand. We have extensive experience working with multiple government agencies and funding sources. Our team has the capabilities to guide a project through its often complex approval processes.
Goodea Construction has enjoyed an excellent reputation, credited to our high level of professionalism in the business community. We hold ourselves to high standards, and perform to optimum potential during every project we undertake. We are dedicated to creating value for all stakeholders involved. After more than 50 years of experience, we strive to continue operating in the industry with the same values, dedication and motivation that have been instilled in our company since the beginning. We are proud of the work we have done over the years and proud of our company's heritage.
Pipeline Systems, Inc.
Pipeline Systems, Inc. was founded in 1982 to provide construction services to the oil and gas industry in the Appalachian Basin. At that time the primary focus was on building gas gathering systems and setting up tanks, units and well heads for the booming Medina gas play in northwestern Pennsylvania. Pipeline Systems has built a reputation in the region for quality construction, timely delivery, fair pricing and is well known for taking on more challenging projects. Over the years, the company has successfully worked for several major and minor oil and gas operators in western Pennsylvania and western New York.
During a down turn in the oil and gas industry in the late 1980's, the company diversified into municipal water and wastewater projects. At first Pipeline Systems mostly consisted of water distribution and sewage collection pipeline projects, but then moved their focus to water and wastewater treatment plant projects. Pipeline Systems has now completed dozens of water and wastewater treatment facilities in Western Pennsylvania.
Today Pipeline Systems, Inc. is a leader in the region for mid-stream oil and gas pipeline projects and municipal water and wastewater construction projects.
Gilcon & Associates
GilCon and Associates was formed as a sister company to Goodea Construction and Pipeline Systems in 1996. GilCon is a partnership started by Mark Gildea, Roger Gildea, James Martin, and Martin Schenker.
Since its beginning, the primary focus of GilCon and Associates was in the private sector of the construction industry. In an extremely competitive market, GilCon utilizes a highly skilled, open shop labor force which enables us to provide cost effective construction services.
GilCon specializes in commercial construction. Within this industry, GilCon has multiple areas of expertise, including:
- Commercial (Retail)
- Institutional (Banking/Financial)
- Industrial (Tooling & Light Manufacturing)
- Historical Restoration
- Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design (LEED)
GilCon and Associates enjoys all of the benefits of the management team and the resources of both Goodea Construction and Pipeline Systems. Whether it is detailed planning and estimating, or heavy earth moving equipment, GilCon has those resources at their disposal. We have the small company efficiencies with the big company horse power.

Reading in Context
Winning or losing
Sportsmen and sportswomen want to win matches, not lose matches. But you can't win all the time! Sometimes a team or player deserves to win, but gets narrowly defeated or beaten.
Before they go in for/enter a competition, athletes train hard. They probably attend or do at least five training sessions a week. They are likely to put up a fight to gain/get a place in the next stage/round of the competition. Of course, a sportsperson's ultimate aim is to break the world record holder. They are sure to come up against fierce/intense competition as they try to achieve their ambitions. Sometimes they are satisfied if they just achieve a personal best.
Some sports people so desperately want to win that they take drugs to enhance their performance. This will be discovered when they fail a drug test.

Trip Alert FrameworkEase and Clarity for Drivers
When communicating with drivers, clarity is key. In May 2016, several teams launched a united effort to design and engineer a new, comprehensive, extensible system: the trip alert framework, created to make sure our messages and alerts would be simple, reliable, and safe, every single time.

- Marcos Weskamp - Senior Design Manager
- Jadam Kahn - Design Director
The challenge
Notifications and alerts in the driver app had been engineered and designed on an as-needed basis by the relevant team. As Uber grew, this ad hoc approach started to wear thin. With each addition, the source code grew more cumbersome. Teams were doing unnecessary work in building each new notification, reinventing the wheel over and over again.
Most importantly, new notifications were inconsistent and thus potentially unclear for drivers. It was essential that any new framework provide maximum clarity and ease-of-use to drivers.
We have created a sustainable system that allows for robust complexity but communicates it in a simple way. We designed the framework to maximize impact and improve understanding as efficiently as possible. This meant designing with the global audience in mind as well.
Any large project relies on collaboration. This was especially true with the trip alert framework. The framework affects every team that works with drivers, and so the input and contributions of each team were crucial. From rewriting the source code to implementing in dispatch, we worked together to create a better experience for drivers.
Cleaned up code
Our engineers streamlined the source code from 20,000 lines down to 5,000, removing redundancies and vestigial dead ends.
They essentially rebuilt from scratch a new framework that increases dispatch and alert effectiveness within the app, simplifies maintenance, allows for better monitoring and bug-detection, and vastly improves our understanding of how drivers interact and perceive alerts.
Server-driven architecture
By keeping more of the work on the server (rather than in the app on the user's phone), we can dynamically change content without having to wait for new mobile builds to be released in the app store. Our iteration cycle has dropped from weeks to minutes.
Consistent design
The new framework's design coherence means that drivers will understand brand-new content the first time they see it. We worked under the constraints of the 3:1 rule—the notion that a typical driver will be looking at the app from a distance of about three feet, with each glance lasting about one second.
An extensible system
By creating a comprehensive framework, we save a lot of unnecessary work moving forward. The new trip alert framework should encompass all current and future use cases across all teams at Uber.
A multisensory experience
Image, sound, and vibration were paired with alerts so that no matter how the phone is used—on a phone mount in a car, attached to the handles of a bicycle, or in a courier's pocket while walking to deliver a meal—on-trip alerts are always easily accessible and understood.
Better information for a better drive
After a year of research, hard work, and intense collaboration, we are very proud of the new framework. As we've rolled it out over the past few months, it has been great to see drivers using it, and useful as always to hear their generous feedback.
We continue to strive to make the driver experience as safe, reliable, and pleasant as possible. The trip alert framework is a great step on this ongoing journey.
Find the perfect fit
We're looking for talented creatives from all disciplines. Our team is focused on creating beautiful, functional designs that fit people's lives. We'd love for you to join us.

I'm studying manifold theory and I've got to the point of discussing the definition of a vector bundle. The definition is quite long and a bit confusing and I was wondering if someone with a bit more intiution in this topic could explain it prehaps using a nice example.
For completeness this is the definition I have:
A smooth real vector bundle $(E,M,\pi)$ of rank $k\in\mathbb{N}_0$ is a smooth manifold $E$ of dimension $m+k$ ($E$ is the total space), another smooth manifold $M$ of dimension $m$ ($M$ is the base manifold) and a smooth surjective map $\pi:E\rightarrow M$ (projection map) such that
$\exists$ an open cover $\{U_{\alpha}\}$ of $M$ and diffeomorphisms $\psi_\alpha:\pi^{-1}(U_\alpha)\rightarrow U_\alpha\times\mathbb{R}^k$,
$\forall p \in M$, $\psi_\alpha(\pi^{-1}(p)) = \{p\}\times\mathbb{R}^k,$
Whenever $U_\alpha\cap U_\beta \not= \emptyset$, the map $$\psi_\alpha\circ\psi_\beta^{-1}:(U_\alpha\cap U_\beta) \times\mathbb{R}^k\rightarrow(U_\alpha\cap U_\beta) \times\mathbb{R}^k$$ has to take the form $(x,v)\rightarrow(x,A_{\alpha\beta}v)$, where $A_{\alpha\beta}:U_\alpha\cap U_\beta\rightarrow GL_{\mathbb{R}}(k)$ is smooth.
Thanks in advance.

At Baylor Neurosurgery Associates, we strive to attain the best possible healing and recovery for every patient. Because every patient is unique, we prescribe treatment based on a thorough evaluation, which we perform utilizing technological advancements available. We believe in evaluating patients promptly and educating them on their diagnosis, so they can play an active role in the decision-making and treatment process.
While many patients want to discuss in great detail the exact event which may have caused their injury, the most important information your health care team needs involves your
symptoms (such as where you have pain, weakness, numbness, etc.) and what
limitations these symptoms place on your everyday activities.
After reviewing your medical history and diagnostic tests, you will be presented with a number of treatment options. We will inform you of the risks and benefits of each option and will assist you in making the final decision concerning which option is best for you.

So today is my guest post on the lovely Shona's Blog! A cheeky wee boots haul is what I'm feeling! Now I don't know if its just me but I love shampoo and conditioner and to be completely honest I spend a small fortune on this:
MissLJBeauty xoxo
Lovely guest post!
I've wanted to try the L'oreal Ever Riche Shampoo for a while as its SLS free and it could be a dupe for the Paul Mitchell one I've been using a lot lately. I love dry body oils and use the one from AVON all the time as its super light for an oil! And that No. 7 eye shadow look very rosy and goldy and very on trend! Those little No. 7 vouchers are awesome aren't they?!

This spring, on International Women's Day, March 8th, Women for Rwanda walked through London with Million Women Rise demanding to end male violence against women. Million Women Rise is a London-based coalition, which organized its first Women's Day march in 2008. The theme this year was The Girl Child, and the featured color was purple. Purple is the color of mourning in Rwanda, thus, our group wore our purple t-shirts to bring recognition to Rwandan women, and to support all women around the world in their struggle against violence.
Next year's theme is Womanist Revolution. The march will take place on March 8th in Central London. Save the date if you'd like to be involved!

Farmers in many parts of the country utilised groundwater to save their crops when monsoon played truant this year.
Groundwater's use for agriculture assumes significance since only 44 per cent of the net sown area of 140 million hectares is irrigated.
Due to unplanned development, overexploitation of ground water resources has resulted in considerable decline in ground water.
About 15 per cent of the blocks, talukas and mandals in the country are currently in the over-exploited zones.
Also, the over-use of surface water has resulted in drainage problem in irrigation, causing water logging in some areas.
Pollution of river and deterioration in the quality of ground water are other added problems.
Pollution has mainly been caused by untreated sewage from the urban areas and effluent from the industry.
Excessive use of chemicals and fertilisers and pesticides is another reason for pollution.
These issues call for further development of water resources to meet the growing demand, particularly for irrigation, industrial use and drinking.
According to the Ministry of Water Resources, there is a need to bring more cropped area under assured irrigation to increase productivity and production.
A policy paper of the Ministry has estimated the irrigation potential of the country at 140 million hectares. Surface water is seen meeting the requirements of 76 million hectares and ground water the rest.
The Ministry is in constant dialogue with various arms of the Government to harness the available irrigation potential.
In fact, the Centre prefers to see irrigation potential beyond the identified 140 million hectares through better water management practices. Given the hydrological features and topographical constraints in the country, this is a challenging task. But surplus flood water is one source that can be utilised to tap the irrigation potential.
One way for this could be interlinking of rivers and this is seen as helping to provide irrigational facilities for 35 million hectares.
Artificial recharge of ground water could also help in additional water availability of about 36 billion cubic metres that can be utilised for various purposes included irrigation.
Water is seen as the solution to challenges of food security and climate change impact in developing countries.
Though the impact of climate change on water resources is yet to be made, various studies say that this could lead to intensification of the variation in the availability of water. In particular, there could extreme events of flood and drought.
The emerging situation calls for various methods to save water. One of the ways could be to harvest rain water.
Very few States in the country have taken the initiative. The other way could be to construct check dams so that water can not only be preserved but the groundwater can also be recharged.
Recycling water for irrigation and industrial use can be another way. Also, water for irrigation is free in the country and power to draw water is also free in most States.
A review of these is another way to preserve water besides ensuring its proper usage.

The number of kids rushed to the hospital after swallowing coin-sized batteries found in TV remotes and other gadgets has doubled, a new study says.
The researchers found that over a 20-year period, there were nearly 66,000 emergency room visits for batteries, with a dramatic increase over the final eight years.
Button batteries accounted for 2,785 ER visits by children nationwide in 2009, up from 1,301 in 1990.
"The increase we're seeing is a call to action," said Dr. Gary Smith, lead author of the study published online Monday in the journal Pediatrics.
"I've treated many of these children, and when it happens, it's absolutely horrifying," said Smith, director of the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio.
"So while we've always respected the dangers these batteries pose, now it's really time for us to redouble our efforts to warn parents and work with manufacturers to take steps against this risk with safer packaging."
Several New York City ER doctors say they are all too familiar with these cases and urge parents to get their child to the ER if they suspect they swallowed a battery.
It's especially dangerous for young children since the batteries can get stuck in the throat and block an airway. The chemicals inside can leak and burn a hole in the esophagus, or worse.
Most Read
Dr. Joan Bregstein, a pediatric ER doctor at New York-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital, said she had a three-year-old battery patient just last month.
Luckily for her, the battery had moved to the little girl's stomach and she eventually passed it.
"What makes these batteries so enticing to little kids is that they are small and cute and they look like candy," said Bregstein.
"This little girl had no symptoms - she was playful, had no vomiting or shortness of breath. Luckily the parent or babysitter saw her swallow it and we found it on the X-ray right away — since damage can occur as soon as two hours after swallowing."
Dr. Estevan Garcia, director of pediatric emergency medicine at Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn added: "Parents need to understand the risk of these batteries. It's a medical emergency if swallowed and if we see it in the esophagus, it needs to be removed ASAP."
