NATURAL HORMONES Natural or bioequivalent hormones are obtained from sterol analogues found in many varieties of plants, primarily soybeans and giant Mexican wild yams – the molecular structure is the same as humans. Censtin ® and Enjuvia ® are both plant derived estrogens and yet they are very similar to premarin (Synthetic estrogen derived from horse urine). The term natural in the context of hormone discussions does not necessarily mean that the hormone in question is derived from a source in nature. The term refers to an agent that has a chemical structure identical to that of the hormone molecule produced in the human body These estrogen and progesterone-like compounds are synthesized in the laboratory to human identical natural hormones. Estrogen is not just one hormone, but a group of similar hormones of varying degrees of activity, all made by the ovary. The three most important ). strogen is the female hormone that is responsible for ovulation. Estrogen is secreted by the ovaries throughout a woman's reproductive years. Special estrogen receptors are located in the breasts, the lining of the uterus, the cervix and in the vagina. A significant problem facing peri- and postmenopausal women, as well as their healthcare practitioners, is determining what approach to take regarding hormone replacement. There are many options, ranging from no intervention at all to conventional hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Approaches which lie somewhere in between involve the use of herbal and nutritional approaches or the use of "friendlier" more gentle hormone replacement regimes than those typically prescribed. One of the hormones which has been virtually ignored by conventional medicine but which shows some promise of effectiveness without as many side-effects is estriol. Its use is increasing in popularity, prescribed either alone or in the form of triple estrogen (80% estriol, 10% estrone, 10% estradiol). © 1993 – 2007 Specialty Compounding Pharmacy
ESTROGENS Comparison: Is there a difference?
Human Estrogens Estrone (E1) 10-20% Estradiol (E2) 10-20% Estriol (E3) % Premarin Estrone % Equilin % Estradiol + others 5-19% 10 Active estrogens have been identified so far… but there are other compounds and impurities. © 1993 – 2007 Specialty Compounding Pharmacy
Bi-Estrogen (Bi-Est) Estradiol (E2) 20% Estriol (E3) 80% Tri-Estrogen (Tri-Est) Estridol (E2) 10% Estrone (E1) 10% Estriol (E3) 80% © 1993 – 2007 Specialty Compounding Pharmacy
Triple estrogen is a hormone formulation that contains 80% estriol, 10% estrone and 10% estradiol. Biestrogen contains 80% estriol and 20% estradiol. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Estrone and the estrogens that convert to estrone in the intestinal tract are thought to be linked to a higher incidence of breast cancer. Estradiol is the most potent form of estrogen, and the one produced in the largest amounts by a woman's ovaries before menopause. Estradiol levels fall after menopause. The brand names: Estrace®, Estraderm®, Vivelle®, Alora®, FemPatchTM, Estring®, and Climara® contain estradiol. Estriol is a weaker estrogen which cannot be converted to estradiol. It is almost completely conjugated in the intestine to glucoronides and sulphates after oral intake; only 1-2% estriol reaches the circulation. Estriol is known as the "weak" or "forgotten" estrogen. Produced in large amounts by the placenta during pregnancy, estriol is also converted in small amounts by the liver. Estriol is not commercially available and possibly the safest estrogen in the U.S., but must be compounded by a pharmacist. Estriol, the "weak" estrogen, has been used to manage vaginal dryness, urinary infections, hot flashes, and stress incontinence. The fact that estriol is "weak" has pluses and minuses. Estriol does not provide as much heart and bone protection as other more potent estrogens like estradiol and estrone. But since it has little or no effect for most women on breast or uterine tissue when used in low doses, estriol avoids the risk of breast or uterine cell abnormalities associated with estradiol and estrone. Many providers prefer to use these forms of estrogen replacement because they use more estriol and less estrone and estradiol. © 1993 – 2007 Specialty Compounding Pharmacy
Estriol: Safety and Efficacy
While conventional hormone replacement therapy provides certain benefits, it is not without significant risks. Estriol has been found to provide some of the protection without some of the risks associated with stronger estrogens. Depending upon the situation, estriol may exert either agonistic or antagonistic effects on estrogen. Estriol appears to be effective at controlling symptoms of menopause, including hot flashes, insomnia, vaginal dryness, and frequent urinary tract infections. Kathleen A. Head, N.D (Alt Med Rev 1998;3(2): ) © 1993 – 2007 Specialty Compounding Pharmacy
Estriol: Safety and Efficacy
Research results on estriol's bone density maintaining effects have been contradictory, with the most promising results coming from Japanese studies. All the positive studies on estriol for the prevention of osteoporosis were conducted in Japan. It may be that the Japanese diet, high in phytoestrogens from soy products, potentates the effect of estriol in this population. Estriol's effect on cardiac risk factors has also been somewhat equivocal; however, unlike synthetic estrogen, it does not seem to contribute to hypertension due to the effect on renin activity and aldosterone . Although estriol appears to be safer than estrone or estradiol, its continuous use in high doses may have a stimulatory effect on both breast and endometrial tissue. Kathleen A.

Hormones Pathways © 1993 – 2007 Specialty Compounding Pharmacy
Delivery Systems of Natural Estrogen
Oral- immediate or sustained release capsules. Bi-est or Tri-est 1.25mg-5mg Sublingual- troches or liquids or drops. Topical (Transdermal) - creams or gels dosage per ¼ tsp. Vaginal- suppositories or cream. Estriol vaginal cream 1-2mg/gm vaginally apply at bedtime. © 1993 – 2007 Specialty Compounding Pharmacy
PROGESTERONES: Not all are alike!
Progesterone is a natural hormone produced by the ovaries. Progestin refers to the group of synthetic hormones like medroxyprogesterone acetate(MPA) or Provera that have similar actions, but not identical to that of progesterone. Synthetic progestins (also called progestogens or progestational agents) are analogues of bio-identical progesterones, and have been developed because they are longer-lasting, more potent, and patentable. The synthetic progestins (Provera® was commonly-prescribed synthetic progestin) and similar to the progesterone your body produces, but the subtle chemical differences can significantly influence the hormone's action and side-effects in the body. Synthetic progestins can cause side-effects of irritability, nausea, depression, and water retention in some women. Natural progesterone is molecularly identical to the hormone made in the body, and many women find it easier to tolerate. The term "micronized" refers to the particle size of the progesterone itself. rogesterone is one of two main hormones produced by the ovaries. More specifically, it is produced by the corpus luteum just after ovulation. Progesterone is responsible for preparing and maintaining the lining of the uterus in preparation for the fertilized egg. Progesterone secreted from the ovary is necessary for the survival of the ovum and the resulting embryo until the placenta takes over this production. The decline in progesterone each month triggers the menstrual cycle. Progesterone and estrogen are closely interrelated and their actions in the body are in a delicate balance. © 1993 – 2007 Specialty Compounding Pharmacy
They may look alike but they are completely different…
Progesterone (Natural): Progesterone Synthetic: © 1993 – 2007 Specialty Compounding Pharmacy
Helps use fat for energy Facilitates thyroid hormone action Natural antidepressant Natural diuretic Normalizes blood sugar levels Restores proper cell oxygen levels Helps restore libido Normalizes zinc & copper levels Normalizes blood clotting Protects against breast fibrocysts Provides some protection against breast cancer Necessary for survival of embryo Stimulates osteoblasts (bone building) Precursor for cortiscosterone production (cortisone) Necessary for production of nerve myelin © 1993 – 2007 Specialty Compounding Pharmacy
Natural Progesterone Studies
Synthetic progestins partially negate the beneficial effects on cholesterol levels that result from taking estrogen. (PEPPI Trial). JAMA, Jan. 18, 1995, 273(3): Natural progesterone is effective in raising HDL-cholesterol. In the PEPI trial, natural progesterone was more effective in raising HDLs than the synthetic versions. Jerilynn Prior, M.D., of the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, has presented evidence that progesterone can stimulate new bone formation in women with osteoporosis. There may be a role for progesterone use alone or combined with estrogen which reduces bone loss in improving bone mineral density. Endocrine Reviews 1990, 11(2): and Canadian Journal of Obstetrics/Gynecology & Women's Health Care 1991, 3:178-84 © 1993 – 2007 Specialty Compounding Pharmacy
MPA vs. Bio-identical Progesterone
Studies at Wake Forest University School Of Medicine have concluded that synthetic medroxyprogesterone (MPA), in contrast to bio-identical progesterone, increases the risk of coronary vasospasm. Miyagawa & Frank of Oregon Health Sciences University & USC School of Medicine also compared MPA with natural progesterone as the progestin in HRT and studied the corresponding effect on coronary artery vasospasm. Progesterone + estradiol protected against vasospasm, but MPA + estradiol did not. In contrast to some of the synthetic progesterones such as medroxyprogesterone acetate (Provera®, Cycrin®) natural progesterone does not seem to suppress good cholesterol (HDL), has no effect on blood pressure or mood, and shows less of a tendency to cause increased male-hormone-like effects such as facial hair growth Nature Medicine, 3(3):324-7 and Journal of the American College of Cardiology, March 1,1997, pp.671-5 © 1993 – 2007 Specialty Compounding Pharmacy
Progesterone Dosage Forms
Slow Release Oral Capsule: mg – It combines slow, even-release of medication with the convenience of dosing once or twice daily. The Capsule produces consistent blood levels, which is critical for symptom management in PMS or menopause, and to avoid daytime drowsiness, erratic menstrual cycles or breakthrough bleeding. Micronized Oral Capsules: mg - The capsule is an immediate release form that is taken four times daily. Remember, progesterone is the hormone with a naturally calming effect. Oral forms of natural progesterone may cause drowsiness or dizziness if a woman is taking a dosage strength that is too high for her individual needs. If drowsiness or dizziness occur, the dosage may need to be reduced. Taking natural progesterone with food also helps to avoid drowsiness. Creams or Gels: mg/gm (2-10%) –This is widely dosage form used. Delivers continuous, consistent absorption for symptom management. Progesterone cream is best absorbed when applied to the skin on the hands, but can also be applied to the skin on the stomach, thighs, or inner arms, one to two times a day. © 1993 – 2007 Specialty Compounding Pharmacy
Progesterone Dosage Forms Continued
Sublingual Troches: mg – These throches are taken one to 4 times daily, it is used buccally (between the cheek and the gum). It is delivered through mucosal membrane to blood stream, hence bypassing the liver. Suppository: mg - Progesterone suppositories, administered vaginally or rectally contain progesterone in a wax base. They provide consistent, even absorption. When used vaginally, many women complain of leakage that occurs. When used rectally, some patients report bowel stimulation. The lower dosages are most commonly used in treating "luteal phase defects," and higher doses are generally used for treating premenstrual syndrome. Drops: Oral drops can be used in patients that are in need of quick onset of action or simply on people who need more titrating dosage of the progesterone. For instance the drop can be compounded as little as 1mg/ml for sensitive people that need more adjustments. Micronized oral capsules, gels, and creams also work well when combining other hormones with progesterone in the same dosage form. © 1993 – 2007 Specialty Compounding Pharmacy
© 1993 – 2007 Specialty Compounding Pharmacy
What to expect…. Progesterone is a very benign medication that most women tolerate well. Infrequent side-effects may include delay the onset of your period. If this happens and your period is more than a day or two late, you may need to stop taking progesterone to bring on your period, then resume taking it 14 days after your period starts. In addition, you may experience flushing when taking progesterone. This is normal, because progesterone raises body temperature about one degree. © 1993 – 2007 Specialty Compounding Pharmacy
© 1993 – 2007 Specialty Compounding Pharmacy
Is it better to take progesterone as a capsule, a shot, a vaginal suppository or a cream? All of the above forms of progesterone and progestogens have been used. The method of administration is best determined by availability, convenience of use and price. Absorption and duration of action will vary by the form of progesterone used: pills - peak absorption is about 1-4 hours and is cleared by 24 hours. Taking the pills with food enhances absorption. shots - usually given in the form of progesterone in oil, doses peak at about 12 hours after administration and take at least 48 hours or more to clear. vaginal suppositories, cream - absorbed to peak in 4 hours and cleared by 24 hours. skin creams - creams tend not to absorb through the skin very well but alcohol-based gels are seemed to be more effective. © 1993 – 2007 Specialty Compounding Pharmacy
What are the effects of too little or too much progesterone?
Progesterone acts to stabilize the tissue lining of the uterus (endometrium) so if it is absent, such as with ovarian anovulation, irregular and heavy menstrual bleeding often occurs after a period without any menstrual bleeding. Thus progesterone is used to prevent this irregularity of bleeding if it is given continuously. If, on the other hand, a onetime bolus of progesterone is given such as with a shot or with only 5 days of oral pills, then the falling progesterone levels will actually cause an estrogen-primed endometrium to slough and therefore start a menses. Too much progesterone often causes tiredness and even sedation. This side effect can be beneficial in a women who has epilepsy or even uterine irritability causing preterm labor because progesterone in high doses can decrease seizure activity and uterine contractions. © 1993 – 2007 Specialty Compounding Pharmacy

Does progesterone block or lessen the beneficial effect of estrogen on heart disease and osteoporosis prevention? The effect of various estrogen and progestogen/progesterone combinations have been looked at extensively in the Postmenopausal Estrogen/Progestin Interventions (PEPI) trial, Writing Group for the PEPI Trial: Effects of estrogen or estrogen/progestin regimens on heart disease risk factors in postmenopausal women: the postmenopausal estrogen/progestin interventions (PEPI) trial. JAMA 1995;273: Some of the following generalizations can be drawn: high density lipoproteins - basically progestogens such as Provera® lessen some of the estrogen effect of raising HDL (good cholesterol) but in combination with estrogen, the net effect is still to raise HDL a small amount. Natural progesterone does NOT blunt this response and when used with estrogen, HDLs rise more than when Prover® is used. low density lipoproteins - all of the hormone regimen combinations lowered the bad cholesterol (LDL) blood pressure - there were no effects of estrogen alone or any of the combinations with progestogens or progesterone on either systolic or diastolic blood pressure. weight and abdominal girth - interestingly, all women, even those who had no estrogen or progesterone, gained weight and increased abdominal girth during this menopausal study. The women who took any hormonal therapy gained LESS weight and had LESS increase in abdominal girth. Blood sugar - all hormonal regimens resulted in a lower fasting blood sugar. However,the estrogen with medroxyprogesterone acetate (Provera®) raised the 2-hour post glucose blood sugar implying that the SYNTHETIC PROGESTERONE may worsen a diabetic tendency. © 1993 – 2007 Specialty Compounding Pharmacy

Androgens Androgens, testosterone and droepiandrosterone (DHEA), may be added to ERT to alleviate recalcitrant menopausal symptoms and further protect against osteoporosis, loss of immune function, obesity, and diabetes. ERT may represent incomplete preventive hormonal treatment in postmenopausal women because it does not directly address the declines in serum testosterone associated with hysterectomies and age-related gender-independent decline in DHEA and DHEA-sulfate. Additionally, ERT may cause relative ovarian and adrenal androgen deficiency, creating a rationale for concurrent physiologic androgen replacement. Obstetrics & Gynecology (6):995-8 © 1993 – 2007 Specialty Compounding Pharmacy

Testosterone In men, TESTOSTERONE is primarily produced in the testes and to a lesser extent in the adrenal glands. In women, testosterone is produced in the ovaries, adrenal glands and to a lesser extent in the skin, brain and liver. Testosterone may increase levels of estrogen in some men and women which is not always desirable. The "methyl" form is less likely to be converted to estrogen and is better absorbed. Liver function must be monitored more closely. Testosterone can be the "Impulsive Hormone," and there is a parallel of information about it in men and women. Those with higher levels are usually single, aggressive, and dominate and take risks, but these impulses can be channeled and controlled in order to avoid problems. In women a little bit can go a long way, as it enhances sexual desires and fantasies, helps make women more easily sexually aroused, to enjoy intercourse better and have more frequent orgasms. Testosterone behaves differently in the bodies of men and women, but it plays a very important role in the overall health and well-being of both. In men, testosterone builds muscle,enhances sex drive, elevates mood, prevents osteoporosis and increases energies. In women, testosterone enhances the sex drive, helps relieve menopausal symptoms, restores lost energy, strengthens bone, elevates mood and increases sensitivity to sexual pleasure in the nipples and genitals. © 1993 – 2007 Specialty Compounding Pharmacy
© 1993 – 2007 Specialty Compounding Pharmacy
Testosterone Usage If you have your ovaries removed or you are in natural menopause, your testosterone levels drop by 1/3 or more, and it is definitely advisable to replace it along with estrogen. As one author, Dr. Susan Rako, MD, stated, "It is the Hormone of Desire." Besides the bone and sexual benefits, it also acts on the brain, muscles, liver and blood vessels, as it enhances cognitive functions. Testosterone can be administered in sublingual troches, as a single testosterone dose or in combination with progesterone and estrogens. Forms and dosages of testosterone supplementation include: The sublingual troche is usually placed between the cheek and the gum about 2 hours prior to bedtime. A topical gel that in a unique hydro alcoholic vehicle to obtain the maximum absorption. A testosterone 2% ointment is commonly prescribed at the same time with the topical gel to be used as a boost. A small amount (lentil pea size) is applied to vulva area about 1 hour prior to bedtime every night for 3-4 weeks. © 1993 – 2007 Specialty Compounding Pharmacy
Estrogen plus Progesterone Combined
Triest 2.5mg Progesterone 5% Gel. This is the most widely used mixture. The patients apply ¼ tsp twice a day. It can easily be adjusted by applying ¼ tsp AM or ½ tsp PM, or simply lowering the dosage into half by apply 1/8 tsp Twice a day. For those patients that like taking the capsules over topical applications based on their symptoms and blood level the following are commonly prescribed: Triest 2.5mg one capsule twice a day combined with progesterone 50mg one capsule in the morning and 2 capsules at bedtime. © 1993 – 2007 Specialty Compounding Pharmacy

Hi all,
I was off-line for many days and missed out on all the Heelspurs messages. Maybe one day I'll have time to catch up!
I just wanted to share with the world that my boyfriend of 4 years proposed on Saturday night! I've been waiting a long time and it finally happened. :) :) :)
We hope to find a little white church in Vermont and be married in the fall, with the colors in full bloom - if we can find a church for that time next year that isn't booked already! So if by some remote chance anyone happens to know of a nice place, do let me know.
As for the feet - I'm assuming there'll be a nice pair of New Balance or Birkenstocks under my wedding gown!! Here's to hoping no one notices!
Thanks for letting me share my happy news!! :)

It might be described as a Royal pardon. The former French presidential candidate, Ségolène Royal, yesterday put aside personal bitterness and endorsed her former partner, François Hollande, in the second round of the Socialist presidential primary.
Her decision took French political commentators by surprise. Ms Royal, 58, the failed Socialist contender in 2007, wept in public last Sunday when she took only 6.9 per cent of the vote in the first round of the primary election to choose a centre-left candidate for the election next spring.
Ms Royal was expected to refuse to endorse the remaining candidates, Mr Hollande, 57, and the Socialist party leader, Martine Aubry, 60. She has personal grievances with both.
She was in a relationship with Mr Hollande for 29 years before their relationship ended acrimoniously just after the 2007 presidential campaign. They have four children together.
Ms Royal is also known to dislike and distrust Ms Aubry, who narrowly defeated her for the leadership of the Parti Socialiste in 2008. At the time there were accusations of cheating on both sides and Ms Aubry has made no secret of her contempt for Ms Royal.
Despite being expected to withhold backing from both remaining candidates, Ms Royal announced that she was supporting her former partner because he was best placed to win by a convincing margin in this Sunday's run-off and go on to defeat President Nicolas Sarkozy in the presidential election next year.
"France faces a decisive moment in its history," she said.
"We on the Left don't have the right to mess up this appointment with the people of France, who expect us to be united in their service." Mr Hollande described his former partner's decision as "elegant and responsible".
He said that she, more than anyone, knew the importance of party unity – a reference to the in-fighting and personal hatreds that weakened her campaign in 2007.
In the first round of the primary, Mr Hollande topped the poll with 39.2 per cent and Ms Aubry came second with 30.4 per cent.
A poll by Opinionway on Tuesday suggested that Mr Hollande would win on Sunday by 54 to 46 per cent.
More than 60 per cent of Ms Royal's supporters told pollsters that they would switch their vote to Ms Aubry.
It remains to be seen whether her endorsement will change their minds.
The outcome of the primary will also depend partly on the 17 per cent who voted for Arnaud Montebourg, the most left-wing candidate.Reuse content

At age 77, broadcaster Brent Musburger is ready to step away from the microphone following decades as a marquee voice in sports. Musburger, a former sportswriter, became the voice of CBS in the 1980s. He grew to prominence as part of the NFL pregame show "NFL Today" on CBS and was part of the top broadcast team for all major sporting events in the network just years later.
Fox Sports sideline reporter Erin Andrews underwent treatment for cervical cancer earlier this football season and is now clear of the disease, she told the website MMQB. Andrews said she learned she had cervical cancer in September on the Saturday prior to the NFL's Week 3 games. She underwent surgery on Oct. 11 in Los Angeles and was working the sidelines the following Sunday in Green Bay.
Ben Roethlisberger told Pittsburgh station 93.7 The Fan on Tuesday, Jan. 24, that he is not ready to commit to playing next season after the Pittsburgh Steelers' 36-17 loss to the New England Patriots last Sunday in the AFC Championship Game. The two-time Super Bowl champion and five-time Pro Bowler implied in the radio interview that he is considering retirement.
The Minnesota Wild reassigned forward Kurtis Gabriel to the Iowa Wild of the American Hockey League on Monday, Jan. 23. Gabriel, 23, has one assist, 29 penalty minutes and 26 hits in 13 games with Minnesota this season. The native of Newmarket, Ontario, recorded his first career NHL point with an assist on Dec. 7 at Toronto and ranks third on the team in penalty minutes. He owns one assist and 39 penalty minutes in 16 career NHL games with Minnesota. The 6-foot-4, 211-pound Gabriel has six goals, one assist and 40 penalty minutes in 25 games with Iowa this season.
ATLANTA — Matt Ryan piloted high-flying Atlanta to a 44-21 rout of the Green Bay Packers in the National Football Conference Championship game on Sunday as the Falcons advanced to the Super Bowl for just the second time. Quarterback Ryan underlined his credentials as the favorite for National Football League most valuable player honor, throwing for four touchdowns and running for another to reach the Feb. 5 Super Bowl in Houston, where Atlanta will take on either the New England Patriots or Pittsburgh Steelers.
Johnny Manziel craves a return to the NFL and the embattled quarterback said he is now a sober person. Manziel told ESPN on Friday that he achieved sobriety without professional help and is focused on becoming a better person. The former member of the Cleveland Browns said he appreciates all the people who helped him "during the truly rough patches" in 2016. Manziel made reference to his behavior on his Twitter account: "No lie.. I was a douche in 2016 I'm just trying to be a good PERSON again#LostInTheSauce."
Seven-time Pro Bowl running back Adrian Peterson revealed three teams he'd consider in free agency should he not return to the Minnesota Vikings next season. Peterson admitted on ESPN's "First Take" on Thursday, Jan. 19, that he'd like to suit up for the Vikings in 2017, but would join the New York Giants, Houston Texans or Tampa Bay Buccaneers if a deal isn't worked out.
The Minnesota Wild recalled defenseman Mike Reilly from Iowa of the American Hockey League on Thursday, Jan. 19. Reilly has yet to record a point and averaged 12:57 of ice time while playing in nine games with Minnesota this season. The 23-year-old, who has seven points (one goal, six assists) in 38 career NHL contests, has collected four goals and 11 assists in 29 games with Iowa this season. The move comes one day after fellow blue-liner Jonas Brodin was announced to be sidelined for four weeks because of a fractured finger.
NEW YORK — Catcher Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez, first baseman Jeff Bagwell and outfielder Tim Raines on Wednesday were selected to the Baseball Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2017. Bagwell (381 votes) received 86.2 percent of the vote, one year removed from falling just 15 votes shy of the 75 percent needed to gain entry into the exclusive club.
The Pittsburgh Penguins may get one of their injured defensemen back soon, but now they have lost a forward, as veteran Matt Cullen is expected to miss three to four weeks after being hit by a shot on his right skate on Monday. The 40-year-old former Moorhead Spuds standout has eight goals and nine assists in 43 games, and he has not missed an NHL game since the 2014-15 season. Cullen is the Penguins' fourth-line center, as well as their top penalty killing forward and a respected player in the dressing room.

The Kenyan history is weaved with the interplay of quintessential religio-political factors. In the past, some of the most important agents were the imperialist, missionaries, scholars and the adherents of African religions and philosophy. The history of central Kenya underlines that the Colonial government, the Missionaries, the African scholars and the Gĩkũyũ elders collaborated in the forging and invention of the Gĩkũyũ identity as we know it today. In the construction of the history, the sacred Mũgumo was shrouded with religio-political power and used by the elders for social and religio-political control of the group. It was this religio-political symbiosis which was celebrated and ritualised around this traditional African shrine. Moreover, the sacred Mũgumo prepared the ground for the evangelisation in the Gĩkũyũ land and the political hegemony based on power-knowledge and control. Revisiting an African shrine through the sacred Mũgumo tree will help the readers understand the Gĩkũyũ cosmology as well as current religio-political conflicts in Kenya and look for solutions which will help the Gĩkũyũ people co-exist harmoniously with other ethnics groups in Kenya.

Market Capitalisation: pounds 3.2bn
Turnover in 1998: pounds 2.2bn
Pretax profits: pounds 400.8m (includes pounds 270m gain on sale of regional newspapers)
Main Businesses: United News & Media is an international media and business services group. The Miller Freeman unit is the world's biggest producer of trade shows and exhibitions, and also publishes a wide array of specialised business magazines.
Services to media include the PR Newswire and stock photography. Broadcasting interests include three ITV franchises, stakes in Channel 5 and ITN, and TV programme production operations. It also has a stake in Line One, an Internet service provider.
National newspapers include The Express titles and the Daily Star, including the Megastar web site. United also produce advertising periodicals throughout the US and Britain.
Key Executives: Ronald Hampel, chairman; Lord Hollick of Nottinghill, chief executive; Charles Stern, finance director.
Number of employees: 18,200.
TO THE casual onlooker, United News & Media presents a puzzling picture. It is as if Lord Hollick, its famously Labour chief executive, has deliberately plugged his ears to avoid hearing the management mantra of the 1990s that business is all about focus and growing core operations.
Rather than follow the MBA text books, Clive Hollick exhibits a meticulous opportunism in acquiring, building and sometimes selling businesses. The trait, if not exactly rare among top corporate executives, is still rather more characteristic of the investment banker, which, of course, Lord Hollick was a quarter of a century ago with the City firm Hambros.
United's far-flung interests stretch from trade shows and business publications around the world, to consumer publishing, including the Express newspaper group, media service companies, three ITV franchises and TV programme making. "We have far fewer positions than we did three years ago," Lord Hollick says, in United's South Bank headquarters perched above Blackfriars Bridge. "Importantly, in those businesses where we are, we're a fairly serious player."
But some media industry watchers still feel United is too diverse and spread too thin, making the whole worth less than its many different bits. A report by the American investment bank Goldman Sachs, perhaps uncharitably, called this the "conglomerate discount". That is the criticism Lord Hollick must endure, despite having engineered in 1996 one of the decade's most surprising deals when his MAI, a financial services and budding ITV player, joined Lord Stevens of Ludgate's United News in a pounds 3bn merger.
That brought together Labour and Conservative peers, and gave Lord Hollick the eventual opportunity to change the traditional Tory political orientation of The Daily Express. At the time, Lord Hollick jokingly called his new partner's political affiliation a "shame", but with Lord Stevens happy to wind down his career in relative obscurity overseeing the Express, it was clear that the wilful Labour peer would be doing all the running.
Nowadays the Express titles, including the Daily Star, account for just 4 per cent of United's profits. Advertising-oriented multi-edition publications such as Exchange & Mart and Daltons in Britain and For Rent magazine, which operates in more than 40 US metropolitan markets, are substantially bigger earners. The conglomerate tag reflects a City view that these publishing interests draw little benefit from being combined with a wide range of business services which, in turn, seem to have little synergy with television broadcasting or wildlife programme production.
Yet it is the business services group - combining business to business publisher and trade show producer Miller Freeman, the PR Newswire and market research firm NOP, and spanning more than 800 exhibitions and publications - that provides 60 per cent of United's earnings. The next biggest chunk, about one-fifth of company profits, comes from United's ITV franchises - Anglia, Meridian and HTV - and programme-making.
In all, United has spent pounds 2bn on acquisitions since the 1996 merger, while raising pounds 1.1bn from disposals, including the pounds 450m sale last year of its regional newspapers. It also spun off its money-broking group Garban into a separate stock market listing. Lord Hollick says: "There's been a lot of portfolio changes, but they've been aimed at reducing the range of activities and concentrating on those areas where we have a strong market position and building a strong international base."
He is obviously not the only chief executive in Britain trying to wed global scale with tight market focus through an opportunistic combination of pruning and acquisitions. But unlike his counterpart at Pearson, Texas- born Marjorie Scardino, Lord Hollick has yet to make a gutsy, potentially company-transforming move, like the former's $4.6bn acquisition of Simon & Schuster's educational publishing interests.
This accounts, in some measure, for a lingering feeling in the City - reflected in the lacklustre performance of United's share price - that the company has yet to arrive. As United's business areas have slowly narrowed, British-based revenues have been reduced amid a build-up of its US operations. The latter is now the group's biggest geographical market, accounting for 45 per cent of total sales and profit.
The US expansion took another turn in April when Lord Hollick made his biggest post-merger deal with the $920m buyout of CMP Media, an American publisher of trade magazines and websites catering to the corporate information technology sector. Like his restructuring of MAI, undertaken in the mid- 1970s, the CMP buyout gives Lord Hollick an opportunity, to use one of his favourite expressions, to "add value".
CMP includes several market leading titles including Information Week and Computer Reseller News, but has seen profitability squeezed. United is taking a pounds 40m post-tax reorganisation charge this year and is budgeting cost savings of pounds 25m a year in an attempt to triple print operating profit margins there to 20 per cent by 2001. What could really excite investors is CMPNet, the firm's web business, which is to be spun off through an initial public offering as a separate tracker stock later this year. What CMPNet is worth is more in the realm of plain guesswork than in the domain of applied investment analysis.
For Lord Hollick, who counsels "pick a number" when probed about CMPNet's value, the company's real worth is as a "web currency" to make it easier for United to make expensive acquisitions in the Internet sector and to attract top Internet staff with the customary share options. CMPNet should also up United's game in the increasingly important Internet world. Miller Freeman, for example, operates trade publications for narrow, but growing, specialist IT areas such as embedded chips and computer telephony as well as fielding a stable of other non-IT industry titles covering everything from the Chinese travel industry to building.
"What we're doing is using the array of media we have to push aggressively, creatively and opportunistically to seize online opportunities," says Lord Hollick. "As an online company we can create value."
One example is Epulse, an Intranet that provides pharmaceuticals research and product news to 8,000 British physicians. Another is .dotmusic, an online site for the retail music trade that tabulates the pop charts and other industry news. A further 200 websites in different countries are linked in a global web template that permits businesses to engage in electronic commerce, access customers and provide product and market information.
"What we have is a knowledge base in (many) industries," Lord Hollicks says. "We publish magazines and newsletters, we run trade shows and conferences, continuing education and training. We want to use this new channel to extend our services. The great advantage of the Internet is the increased functionality, the one-to-one relationship, that enables us to go up the value chain, and get commission on deals."
An avalanche of businesses are trying to tap the business potential of the Internet. But the sums United is spending - by the company's estimate 2.5 per cent of total revenue, or about pounds 50m per year - will not be enough to put clear water between it and a host of competitors, ranging from CNET and International Data Group of the US to Germany's Bertelsmann or Dutch business-to-business publisher VNU. Lord Hollick acknowledges this. "There are no guarantees," he says.
What is hard to escape is the notion that Lord Hollick is still a few deals short of transforming United into what its 1998 annual review describes as a "wired-up brain company" with continually accelerating annual revenue growth.
One anomaly is the Express. Despite a flicker of circulation and demographic improvement, the national newspapers are not likely to provide growth. Indeed, it is widely presumed the titles will be sold; and current City thinking has it that United won't accept a penny less than pounds 300m.
On this score, Lord Hollick becomes testy, referring to the Express price estimate by a City analyst, who requested anonymity, as "completely bogus rumour-mongering". He adds, emphatically: "The Express is doing rather well. We are pleased with the progress." Perhaps that is why DJ Chris Evans was linked with an attempt in February to buy the Daily Star, and the Barclay brothers, publishers of The Scotsman and Sunday Business, are thought to remain keen to acquire the Express papers.
Still, it remains hard to square the group's ambitious growth targets with continued ownership of slow-growing national newspapers or its mature ITV franchises. United's ambitious plans to expand its 29 per cent interest in Channel 5 and join a third-generation mobile phone joint venture could also spur disposals, since group debt, without asset sales, will exceed pounds 1.2bn into 2001. Or United could fund further expansion via a rights issue, an eventuality not ruled out by analysts.
Either way, Lord Hollick's grand design for United remains a work in progress.

How to put on a wetsuit without looking like a fool
Putting on a wetsuit is, by nature, difficult—this is something that's supposed to fit like a second skin, after all. But there are ways to minimize the hassle, discomfort, and occasional embarrassment. Here are our tactics for slipping into a wetsuit with speed, grace, and comfort.
You know the situation. It's a gorgeous day, the beach is packed, and you're standing at the edge of the crowd, trying to find an inconspicuous place to do the one thing that is nearly impossible to do without looking like a jet-lagged belly dancer: Put on your wetsuit. After eight excruciating minutes of wriggling and writhing and hopping on one foot, it's finally on—or at least, one leg is. Time to end the awkwardness! Follow these steps and suit up like a pro.
Step 1: Before You Start Tugging, Make Sure It Fits
The thing is meant to be skintight, so by definition it's not gonna be a loose fit. But no wetsuit should be too tight. That's a recipe for misery in the putting-on stage as well as during the dive, surf, or swim session. It sounds like basic advice, but many people are walking around with ill-fitting wetsuits without realizing it. Here are a few ways to tell if your suit falls into the "too tight" category:
- It restricts blood flow once you put it on
- You have trouble breathing while wearing it (yikes!)
- It squeezes around your neck to the point where it's annoying/uncomfortable
- The suit material is wearing thin in places (like across your back) because it's stretched so tight
Basically, just don't torture yourself. If you nodded fervently to any of the above, start by getting fitted for a new suit (which, alas, will still be awkward to put on, but at least your neck won't turn purple when you're wearing it).
Step 2: Find Your Perfect Trick and Go With It
Any pro can give you their tips for getting a suit on and off quickly. The key is figuring out which one works best for you. Here are a few options, so you can start picking and choosing favorites:
Inside-Out Trick
Turn the suit inside out, put one foot through the ankle of the reversed suit, then roll it slowly up your leg right-side-up. Do the same with the other leg, then the torso, and finally the arms. Patience is a virtue on this one. It takes a bit of time, but your tugging-and-hopping days will be over.
Use Plastic
Okay, it's going to sound a little silly, but it seriously works. Wrap your foot in a plastic bag, slide it through one leg of the suit, then pull the bag off and switch feet when putting on the other leg. That pesky skin of yours is meant to cause friction, but plastic slides easily over neoprene, so this method works great for your lower half.
Get Help
If you're with a friend, ask them to blow into the arm or leg of the suit before you put it on. The air will be a barrier between your skin and the neoprene, so the suit will slide on more easily. Added bonus: it's an excellent bonding experience with your helpful friend.
Just Add Water
Wetsuits are designed to have a thin layer of water between the suit and your skin, so slipping into your suit while actually in the water is a good way to take advantage of that. The upside: you'll safely avoid any nasty wetsuit burns that might get ya from neoprene rubbing against your dry arms, legs, and torso. The downside: you've got to get into that chilly water with no suit on, and once you're in, any waves or current can make dressing yourself difficult.
Step 3: If You Want, Spend Some Green
If you're dead set against any more hopping and tugging, there are products you can buy to ease the tension. These handy add-ons are a few we'd consider spending money on:
Dive Skins
These Lycra jumpsuits add warmth, plus they make it easy to get a wetsuit on since there's no contact between your skin and the neoprene (no plastic bag required). Of course, you will have to put on—and walk around in—yet another skin-tight article of clothing. Dealbreaker?
Custom Zippers
Seems pretty obvious, right? Strategically located zippers would make for much less hassle. Some suits do come with ankle and wrist zippers, but if yours didn't, you can find a wetsuit tailor (yes, those magicians do exist) to put them in. Bear in mind though—going this route is a little pricey and the zippers let more water into the suit meaning you get less thermal protection.
Step 4: Avoid the "Don't"s
Don't use soap
While it may seem like a quick and easy fix, lubing your suit up with shampoo, soap, or even vaseline (hey, we admit to trying it) isn't a great idea. Any non-biodegradable soaps and detergents will leak into the water and turn your skin into a weathered prune (cute, right?). On top of that, lots of shampoos, conditioners, and oil-based products will leave a film on the suit that can eventually cause the material to crack—no good!
No nails
Don't dig your nails in as a quick fix if the suit gets stuck. A jagged fingernail can easily damage the neoprene or the rubber seams. Be nice to your suit!
Never apply heat
After you're done for the day, don't wash the suit in hot water. And never, ever put it in the dryer, unless the idea of trying to squirm into a shrunken wetsuit sounds like fun to you. Rinsing with cold water and letting it hang dry for a few hours will take care of any funky wetsuit smell.

Screening – MAMMA ROMA on April 14 at 7:00 PM
Mamma Roma (Pier Paolo Pasolini, 1962, 35mm, 110 min.)
Friday, April 14, 2017 – 7:00pm, Logan Center Screening Room (201)
Immediately banned in Italy on its initial release in 1962, Mamma Roma features the sensational Anna Magnani in a fearless performance as a middle-aged Roman prostitute struggling to leave her lowly past behind in order to reunite with the teenage son she abandoned as a child. But when her former pimp threatens to destroy the precarious new life she has created for them, Mamma Roma must confront the stark realities of her son's future. Gene Lerner astutely observed, "If there is a motion-picture star in film history who should be looked upon as the epitome of the struggle of women for identity and dignity, it unquestionably would be Magnani." Defiant, tender, fierce, and unafraid, her Mamma Roma is a captivating mix of compelling contradictions. Blending the great traditions of Italian Neorealism with maternal melodrama, this unflinching work from the country's most controversial director, Pier Paolo Pasolini, captures the daily hustle and misaligned values of a postwar Italy still haunted by the traumas of Fascism.

Trauma & Melodrama: Emotions in the Public Sphere
13th Annual Graduate Student Conference in the Department of Cinema & Media Studies, University of Chicago
April 21-22, 2017
Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts
Opening Remarks by: Tom Gunning, Edwin A. and Betty L. Bergman Distinguished Service Professor of Cinema & Media Studies and Art History, University of Chicago.
Keynote Speaker: Elisabeth Anker, Associate Professor of American Studies and Political Science, George Washington University, author of Orgies of Feeling: Melodrama and the Politics of Freedom (Duke University Press, 2014).
Memory. Suffering. Upheaval. Displacement. The language of personal and political trauma is routinely also the language of melodrama. As a diverse set of filmic, televisual, and theatrical practices, melodrama expresses the constraints and possibilities of individuals and societies as they mediate between private and public spheres, engage with moral oppositions and ambiguities, and succeed or fail at communicating emotion, pain, and desire. Trauma, an equally protean term, encompasses the experiences of individual, moral, and societal transgressions. We ask how melodramatic conventions are necessary to the recollection and communication of trauma.
This conference invites varied accounts of how melodramatic structures make trauma present—to a screen subject, a filmmaker, an audience, or a national public. How do films and moving-image media deal with critical issues of nationality, ethnicity, religion, politics, gender, mental health, war, disease, displacement, and ecological crisis? How and why does emotion become public in the world, on the screen, and in spectatorial contexts? How do stylization and performance condition a person's encounter with the traumatic event, the camera, and the screen? In particular, how do moving-image media enlist, transform, or presuppose melodrama as a condition of legibility or opacity?
Recent tendencies in moving-image and media practice compel scholars to address these issues. Joshua Oppenheimer's The Act of Killing allows the perpetrators of atrocities to clothe their historical muteness in lyrical, spectacular performance. Conversely, Oppenheimer's follow-up The Look of Silence starkly relates the same muteness to a familiar center troubled not only by political violence, but also by disease and old age. Yet these recent films and others also demonstrate the continued importance and vitality of scholarly appraisal of global melodrama on a broad historical scale that encompasses multiple genres and modes, fiction and nonfiction. Without ignoring the clear importance of the 1950s American home as a melodramatic site, our goal is rather to understand melodrama as a loose alliance of practices of emotional performance, publicity, and presence emerging in various media idioms throughout the history of the moving image.
Possible lines of inquiry may include:
- Lyrical performance in documentary (Eduardo Coutinho's Playing, Shirley Clarke's Portrait of Jason, etc.)
- Allegory mediating between domestic and national scales (e.g. Khan's Mother India)
- Reflexive meditation on the political stakes of film production and exhibition (Guzman's Obstinate Memory)
- Documentary recreation and "ecstatic truth" (Greene's Kate Plays Christine, Morris' Tabloid, Herzog, etc.)
- Canonical melodramatic narrative and visual conventions in recent Hollywood films and television (Todd Haynes' Carol, Lee Daniels' series Empire on Fox)
- The historical crisis as an explicit or implicit backdrop for fictional narrative (Ritwik Ghatak's Cloud-Capped Star)
- The politics of individual screen presence (Warhol's Screen Tests, etc.)
- Media and re-living trauma; melodrama and documentary (Harun Farocki's Serious Games, Joshua Oppenheimer's The Act of Killing and The Look of Silence)
- Melodramatic structures and cinematic realism (Neorealism, the French "New Realism," the Cinema of Precarity, etc.)
- Melodramatic conventions in conversation with televisual "liveness"
- Melodramatic forms in a variety of national and political contexts and film industries (Bollywood, Nollywood, etc.)
Please send an abstract (250-300 words) to co-chairs Tyler Schroeder, Tien-Tien Jong, and Andrew Pettinelli at uchicago[DOT]cms[DOT]gradconf[AT]gmail[DOT]com by February 13, 2017. Participants will be notified by the beginning of March.

I have over 10 years mentoring, tutoring, and teaching students. I am currently a college professor and want to help students get ahead or help students that didn't quite get it in class. I have a BS in Biology.
I also have a PhD in Environmental Health Sciences from University of Alabama at Birmingham. I primarily have a background in general biology. My specialty areas are general biology, environmental science and toxicology.
In my experience as a student and a teacher, tutoring is most effective when information is presented in several different ways. Student are individuals that posses many different learning styles. As a teacher, having a diverse teaching style is necessary because this allows for the opportunity for each type of learner to shine. For example, during my teaching experiences I realized that for some students memorizing material for a test was a strength, yet applying that same knowledge to a "real world" problem was more difficult for them. Alternatively, other students struggled with the theoretical aspects of course material presented in formal lectures, but improved their understanding after seeing the practical application of a particular concept. Based on these experiences, I believe a combination approach for learning concepts is needed. My style of tutoring is making sure my students are prepared and feel confident. I am patient and willing to work at a slow pace so that my students can comprehend the information.
Teaching and tutoring should meet the needs of the students. It is very important for students to feel that they have come away with a better understanding of concepts and practical use of the concepts. Therefore, at the beginning of a session I will ask the student what he or see would like to get out of the session. For example what concepts are of interest, do they have any weakness, and how would they like for these concepts to be taught. I think that it is important for students to understand that their opinion and goals matter to me. This will create open communication between the student and myself. I pride myself in making difficult topics easy to understand. I encourage you to contact me and schedule a session. I guarantee that you won't be disappointed!

Adrienne is very knowledgeable and has great followup. She just doesn't spend time during the touring session...she follows up afterwards with notes and materials to support the students post tutoring studying. Goes the extra mile!
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
