Following blogs will not only be entertaining, but also rewarding in the way of genealogical ideas, tips and news. Some of the blogs are more family oriented and others are more on the commercial side of research. Regardless, they all serve a purpose for the genealogist.
One of my favorites that updates almost every day and usually several times a day is Genealogy Blog written by Leland Meitzler. If his name sounds families, it should ... he's the editor of The Genealogical Helper. Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter by Dick Eastman is another daily update worth reading. You can also subscribe to his Plus Edition, gaining more information.
Others I think you will enjoy are Randy Seaver's Genea-Musings. In his words, "Genealogy Research Is really FUN!" How true! Michael Neill of Illinois has two informative blogs. Rootdig.com and Genealogy Tip of the Day are good reads.
Professional researcher, Arlene Eakle, offers three blogs. Her main blog, Arlene Eakle's Genealogy Blog always contains interesting and helpful research information. She has recently added Arlene Eakle's Tennessee Blog which focuses on researching in that state. For those researching in Virginia, don't miss out on Arlene Eakle's Virginia Blog.
If you have not met Ol' Myrt, you must stop by her blog and read her posts. Follow her at DearMYRTLE's Genealogy Blog. If you teach genealogy or if you are a Family History Consultant, be sure to check out Teach Genealogy Blog.
Some blogs have a definite theme, such as Ben Sayer's blogs for genealogy software. If you are a Mac user, be sure to follow his MacGenealogist.com blog. He also writes PCGenealogist.com which focuses on applications for Windows.
I always enjoy reading The Ancestry Insider blog. Just who is that guy anyway? He provides clues that he works for one of the big genealogy websites and is a staff trainer at a family history center. He does work in the computer industry and you won't want to miss his vital information.
If you subscribe to Ancestry.com, be sure to read their Ancestry.com Blog. The posts are written by people behind the scenes who know and understand their product. Family Tree Magazine hosts the blog Genealogy Insider which contains a lot of links to web pages of interest to the genealogist, plus a lot more exciting information.
What or who is the Graveyard Rabbit? Check it out! From this you will link to the rabbits' blogs. There are plenty of rabbits blogging. Here's just a few. Be sure to read the March 30th blog at The Mount Timpanogos Graveyard Rabbit. It is quite amusing how they ordered pizza to be delivered to the cemetery. Others that are fun to read include The Graveyard Rabbit of Northern Virginia and the Jewish Graveyard Rabbit.
Then there is my family ... we keep genealogy all in the family. I have two blogs, Genealogy Lines (which you are reading) and Nebraska Roots and Ramblings. My daughter writes Growing Up Genealogy in which she expresses her thoughts on having a Mom totally devoted to genealogy. My sister-in-law writes Those Old Memories, sharing family episodes as well as research ideas. Together my sister-in-law and I write the blog, You Go Genealogy Girls. Be sure to read about our research trips and antics!
Can't get enough of those blogs? You can find listings of them at geneabloggers and Genealogy Blog Finder. You will be surprised at how many there are on Internet.
While some blogs change frequently, others may not. Keep in mind that people are busy ... after all they should be doing their genealogical research!

Call out for community volunteers to join the Altrincham Hosts
Altrincham Hosts, a new community volunteering initiative for Altrincham town centre, will launch next month.
Altrincham Hosts has been modelled on the highly successful Knutsford Hosts initiative, which has been running for three years and is a town-wide family of 85 community volunteers who promote Knutsford and support its many events, local organisations and charities. The founders credit the of success of the initiative with the fact that they are not aligned to any one organisation, and their Hosts can lend a hand to events, causes and activities according to their own time, talents and interests.
Launched by Altrincham Unlimited (Altrincham's Business Improvement District), Altrincham Hosts will kick off with its first recruitment event at Altrincham Town Hall on Friday 23rd June from 5-7pm.
The launch event will be attended by three well-known local honorary Hosts, who will be actively supporting the initiative; Graham Brady, prospective local Conservative candidate; Joan Scott, Vice Principal of Trafford College and Matt Colledge, former Leader of Trafford Council who was greatly involved in the revival of Altrincham town centre. Sarah Flannery, the founder of Knutsford Hosts, will also be at the event to offer advice and insight into the scheme.
Katie Bland, BID Manager for Altrincham Unlimited said:
"The BID here in Altrincham is committed to supporting positive community engagement, a united spirit and pride in Altrincham.
"We have seen at first-hand how the Knutsford Hosts scheme is a truly inclusive and friendly volunteering group that supports a number of excellent events, organisations and causes. The scheme bolsters the local Knutsford economy while at the same time gives the Hosts a rewarding and fun experience; it's a real win-win for local organisations and the volunteers themselves. We're very grateful to our three honorary Altrincham Hosts, Graham Brady, Joan Scott and Matt Colledge for supporting this scheme, and invite as many people as possible to come along and find out more at our launch event on Friday 23rd June."
Knutsford Host founder Sarah Flannery said: "It's so exciting to see that Altrincham Unlimited is launching Altrincham Hosts. Since we launched with the simple but unique idea of having a town-wide resource of community volunteers to promote the town and support our many events, local organisations and charities, we've made a huge contribution to our town. It's a testament to the incredible efforts of our 85-strong team that Altrincham has seen the value of adopting a similar scheme to support their vision of greater community engagement and a reinvigorated local economy. We're really looking forward to helping them launch Altrincham Hosts."
To find out more about becoming an Altrincham Host please contact Altrincham Unlimited at firstname.lastname@example.com or telephone 0161 924 2239.

This is such an easy recipe to make , you don't have to slave so many hours in the kitchen and you can whip it up so easily with a slight prep ahead. If you have cooked beans and chopped veggies handy this is such an easy recipe to make . This stew is good for a chilly night with a slice of whole wheat bread to make it a complete meal. Again portion control is key here because beans does have carbs in them even though the amount of soluble fibers are high. So now let's get into the recipe of this stew
Yield- 500 gms
Reccomended Serving Size- 150 gms per person (Ideal for a lunch )
Serves- 3 to 4 people

3. In a stock pot or a sauce pan heat olive oil add onions , garlic and parsley to it . Saute till the onions turn transparent
4. Add the harissa paste to it , do not add salt now because the harissa paste already have salt in that we can season later to avoid adding excess salt .
5. Now add all the chopped veggies to it . In medium heat saute for 1 minute .
6. Add chopped tomatoes and the beans to it . Give it a stir then add water to cover the beans . Now check for salt if required add more and green chillies if you need it bit hotter.

Foot Notes
Black Eyed Beans
Beans are a rich source of protein. One cup of beans contains about 16 grams of protein, the same as 2 ounces of meat or chicken. People who are vegetarians typically use beans and bean products as their main source of protein. Beans contain no cholesterol…and only about 1 gram of fat. Beans also contains about 15 grams of soluble fiber which can help lower cholesterol levels and lower the risk of heart diseases. Beans are also a great source of iron, calcium, potassium, and magnesium, as well as vitamin A and folate.

According to webMD tomatoes are one of the best vegetable/fruit which has to be an integral part of a diabetic friendly kitchen. Because of their low carbohydrate content, tomatoes can play a big role in controlling blood sugar levels and also helps lower calorie intake which can help in weightloss. Eating foods with high levels of antioxidants may help reduce the risk of complications associated with adult diabetes. Tomatoes are a rich source of vitamin C, vitamin E and beta carotene, all conventional antioxidants.
It has been proved that allicin a vital component in garlic helps in lowering the insulin content in the blood. According to eatwell people who ate garlic with their diabetes medications had better control over blood sugar levels and also their cholesterol and triglyceride levels improved too.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) announced Monday that it has taken the stance of many other medical associations by advising that pregnant women, infants, and young children only consume pasteurized dairy products.
The AAP statement also calls for a nationwide ban on the sale of raw milk, a call likely to rile many raw milk advocates.
The policy statement, written by Dr. Yvonne Maldonado, a professor of pediatrics at the Stanford University School of Medicine, and published in the journal Pediatrics, says that raw milk products are a continuing source of bacterial infections.
Whether from cows, goats, or sheep, raw milk and products made from it pose health dangers to pregnant women, fetuses, the elderly, young children, and people with compromised immune systems, the statement says.

Interstate Sales Banned, but Raw Milk Is Legal in Many Areas
In 1987, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration outlawed the interstate shipment of raw milk, but since it is a federal agency, it has no jurisdiction over whether or not the milk can be sold within state boundaries.
State laws regarding the shipment of raw milk vary from state to state. Some allow for the sale of raw milk from goats or sheep only, while others are more liberal. A 2011 survey by the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture determined that raw milk and related products were legal to sell in 30 states, though only 11 states allowed retail sales.
Earlier this month, lawmakers in Wisconsin, America's dairy state, approved farm-to-consumer sales of raw milk with certain restrictions, including verifying that the milk is free of pathogens and meets bacterial and somatic cell count standards.
However, raw milk advocates often cite studies that show raw milk is a safe, sustainable source of nutrition and argue that the regulation of farm-to-table milk is an intrusion by the "nanny state."

Raw Milk: A Source of Preventable Outbreaks?
Milk pasteurization became mainstream in the U.S. in the 1920s and has been credited with a massive decrease in infectious diseases since then, particularly in the realm of childhood tuberculosis.
Raw milk and related products have become increasingly popular in the past decade among people who believe in the added health benefits of raw milk, especially retaining the enzymes killed during the pasteurization process.
"We have no scientific evidence that consuming raw milk provides any advantages over pasteurized milk and milk products," Maldonado said in a statement. "But relative to the amount of raw-milk products on the market, we do see a disproportionately large number of diseases and illnesses from raw milk."
Researchers with the AAP say that there were 93 recorded outbreaks of disease linked to raw milk or raw-milk products from 1998 to 2009. These outbreaks led to 1,837 illnesses, 195 hospitalizations, and two deaths, caused by either E. coli, salmonella, or campylobacter bacteria.
The AAP statement listed dangerous organisms that have been found in raw milk, including giardia, rabies, and norovirus. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, norovirus is the most common cause of acute gastroenteritis in the U.S., causing 19 to 21 million illnesses and contributing to 56,000 to 71,000 hospitalizations and 570 to 800 deaths annually.
"We invented pasteurization to prevent these horrible diseases," Maldonado said. "There is really no good reason to drink unpasteurized milk."

Use of the CAST-128 Encryption Algorithm in CMS (RFC2984)

Network Working Group C. Adams Request for Comments: 2984 Entrust Technologies Category: Standards Track October 2000
Use of the CAST-128 Encryption Algorithm in CMS
Status of this Memo
This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
Copyright Notice
Copyright (C) The Internet Society (2000). All Rights Reserved.
This document specifies how to incorporate CAST-128 (RFC2144) into the S/MIME Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) as an additional algorithm for symmetric encryption. The relevant OIDs and processing steps are provided so that CAST-128 may be included in the CMS specification (RFC2630) for symmetric content and key encryption.
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document (in uppercase, as shown) are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
1. Motivation
S/MIME (Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) [SMIME2, SMIME3] is a set of specifications for the secure transport of MIME objects. In the current (S/MIME v3) specifications the mandatory- to-implement symmetric algorithm for content encryption and key encryption is triple-DES (3DES). While this is perfectly acceptable in many cases because the security of 3DES is generally considered to be high, for some environments 3DES may be seen to be too slow. In part to help alleviate such performance concerns, S/MIME has allowed any number of (optional) additional algorithms to be used for symmetric content and key encryption.
The CAST-128 encryption algorithm [RFC2144, Adams] is a well-studied symmetric cipher that has a number of appealing features, including relatively high performance and a variable key size (from 40 bits to 128 bits). It is available royalty-free and license-free for

commercial and non-commercial uses worldwide [IPR], and therefore is widely used in a number of applications around the Internet. It thus seems to be a suitable optional encryption algorithm for S/MIME.
This document describes how to use CAST-128 within the S/MIME CMS specification.
2. Specification
This section provides the OIDs and processing information necessary for CAST-128 to be used for content and key encryption in CMS.
2.1 OIDs for Content and Key Encryption
CAST-128 is added to the set of optional symmetric encryption algorithms in CMS by providing two unique object identifiers (OIDs). One OID defines the content encryption algorithm and the other defines the key encryption algorithm. Thus a CMS agent can apply CAST-128 either for content or key encryption by selecting the corresponding object identifier, supplying the required parameter, and starting...

Apple's new mobile payment system is to set to take the U.S. e-commerce sector by storm but its launch in Asia remains far off, analysts said.
"Apple Pay will probably take at least four years to arrive in Asia," said Ryan Huang, market strategist at IG in Singapore. Seeing as iTunes was only launched in Asia in 2012, nine years after its U.S. debut, expectations aren't high for an Asia expansion, he told CNBC in a phone interview.
Late on Tuesday, Apple unveiled a suite of new devices and a payment system called Apple Pay. The platform utilizes near-field-communication (NFC) and will be built into the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus to store debit and credit card information.
Asia's cultural mindset towards NFC technology is a key challenge to Apple Pay's expansion in the region, IG's Huang said.
Read MoreBig screens - key to selling more iPhones in China?
"The region has dealt with NFC for a number of years, and it's been a lackluster takeoff so far. The biggest hurdle is standards. Telecom firms took a long time to collaborate and have only just started to work together. For a long time, there was just one telecom working with Mastercard and another with Visa. It will take a long time for Apple to try and get a pipeline of retailers in Asia to get on board," he added.

No serious person believes our "private" lives have no impact whatsoever on society at large. Furthermore, such a person does also not believe that the number of fatherless boys in jail is just a coincidence. To put it more dramatically: the West's expressive divorce culture has destroyed more lives than the bombing of Hiroshima.
But more evidence is mounting. From The Washington Times:
A new study released Wednesday by the Pew Charitable Trusts shows that the damage divorce does to poorer children's future economic mobility is even greater than the impact suffered from having only one parent.
"Divorce is particularly harmful for children's [economic] mobility," Thomas DeLeire and Leonard M. Lopoo said in their report, "Family Structure and the Economic Mobility of Children."
The two academics examined more than 30 years of data on some 2,200 families. In addition to tracking the incomes of parents and their now-adult children, the researchers looked at parental marital histories.
The data showed that parental divorce was a serious impediment to children's upward mobility.
Among children of low-income parents, only 26 percent of those whose parents divorced managed to climb into the middle or top income levels when they reached adulthood.
In comparison, half of the children raised by their married parents climbed out of poverty. Even children of poor unwed mothers did better than children of divorce – 42 percent of low-income children born to single moms eventually exceeded their mothers' incomes.
Findings like these suggest that "divorce is a meaningful barrier to a child's economic mobility," said John E. Morton, managing director of the Pew Economic Policy Group.
Among black low-income families, if the parents divorced, an astonishing 85 percent of their children did not escape that "bottom third of the ladder," the Pew study said. However, if black children's parents stayed married, significantly fewer of the children – 62 percent – stayed poor.
As a matter of consistency, one would expect the media's concerned upper-middle class watchdogs, to highlight these and other studies. After all, don't they care about socially disadvantaged black children more than the whole world times ten?
Think again. Studies like these and others confront the campaigning journalist's "Love family ideology." It doesn't take a village, but two committed biological parents to raise healthy children. "Love Family ideology," however, will ask you to reject marriage as the "defining institution of family life," explains Barbara Dafoe Whitehead in her book The Divorce Culture. But "Love Family ideology" (like the rainbow family philosophy) consistently fails to promote parent-child bonds and well-being too.
Of course, if one accepts that our supposedly private lives have no impact on the public wallet (or public safety) one is likely to ignore society's expressive divorce-bomb victims.

You may recall the name Patriot Scientific from some previous news reporting of ours. The company kicked up a stir when it set about suing anyone who makes a device that includes a processor clocked at over 120MHz. Following the standard strategy used by these types of IP litigators, Patriot started out by suing the little guys in order to build up a war chest of money and licensing agreements before moving up the food chain to take on the big guys. The company began by suing PC makers and now has suits pending against Intel, Sony, Toshiba, and a numer of other tech players big and small.
Now, AMD has licensed Patriot's IP and purchased restricted shares in the company. Why would AMD cut this kind of deal with the devil? My own hypothesis is that they want to hurt Intel. I don't think Patriot will ultimately win their suits (or, at least, I hope they won't), but they can wage a distracting and costly harassment campaign against Intel. By purchasing shares of Patriot and licensing its IP portfolio, AMD not only buys itself freedom from potentially expensive litigation, but it also strikes a blow against Intel by giving Patriot amunition in court. This is pretty much the exact same strategy that MS used against Linux by funding SCO and licensing its IP. (Licensing agreements go a long way in convincing the court that your claims to ownership of contested IP are legitimate. The more such agreements that a litigator can produce, the more of a case he has against new defendants.)
I personally think that this is pretty crappy of AMD, because they're putting their own short-term competitive interests over the interests of the industry as a whole. I realize that it's a dog-eat-dog world and all, but there's an old saying that goes don't defecate where you eat.

J.D. Vance is a thoughtful conservative who grew up in southern Ohio, joined the U.S. Marines, and is now a highly educated academic. He is the author of Hillbilly Elegy and has spent a lot of time thinking about the gulf that divides Americans between where he grew up and the circles he moves in now. In The New York Times this week, he wrote:
The headline from last night's debate nearly writes itself: A major party presidential candidate refused to accept the legitimacy of the 2016 election….Yet I found myself wondering, as debate co-watchers gasped over Mr. Trump's statements, whether any of the Trump supporters I know back home will actually care.
The answer is probably no. At the core of his appeal is a rejection of mainstream political norms, and this is just another example of Mr. Trump slaughtering a proverbial sacred cow.
The question now is …whether the segment of our country that gasps when he delegitimizes our democratic institutions can ever be reconciled to those who cheer the same.
I keep coming back to something I wrote earlier: that for all the racial animus around Barack Obama, what perhaps puts people off more is the anti-intellectual strain in U.S. politics. There is a strong tradition of peasants with pitchforks.

The country was born in violent revolution, and split along state lines in the Civil War.
When President Obama, an Ivy League-educated law professor, lectures the American people, many feel talked down to. They don't just hear an African-American man, although that may irritate them even more: they hear possibly the most infuriating thing in the world, someone making them feel stupid. The fury at a cosmopolitan, highly educated elite, and the split along levels of education, is at least as much about this as it is about race or economics.
It may be that this anti-intellectual uprising is worse than it has been because of the appalling levels of literacy and reading—not just higher education. In the United States today:
· 14% of adults can't read.
· Only 13% of adults can read at a proficient level.
· 28% of adults didn't read a book in the last year.
· 50% of adults can't read a book written at an 8th grade level.
But it's not a new divide. It's as old as the United States, which was founded by an intellectual elite. These men had high ideals for the ability of every man [sic] to read, and thus educate himself, to be a good citizen and participate in democracy. John Adams, our second president, said:
"The very Ground of our Liberties, is the freedom of Elections. Every Man has in Politicks as well as Religion, a Right to think and speak and Act for himself. No man either King or Subject, Clergyman or Layman has any Right to dictate to me the Person I shall choose for my Legislator and Ruler. I must judge for myself, but how can I judge, how can any Man judge, unless his Mind has been opened and enlarged by Reading."
Now, we all know that the democracy founded by these male intellectuals had some huge gaps. Some of the founders were slave owners; none of them recognized the equality of the Native people of North America; and Abigail Adams had to remind her husband about the women. But that's why democracy is a process. It didn't happen in one revolution or one presidency. It's ongoing, and it requires all of our participation.
Which brings me to the bar. I watched the final presidential debate of the 2016 election in a pub in London. Afterwards, I got talking to a group of young professionals who live here—no doubt we are the international educated elite! But none of us started life that way. There were two Canadian women, one black and one white; an Asian-American man; and another U.S. citizen who was born in Pakistan. It was this last man to whom I spoke the most. He reminded me that after September 11, 2001, all men from certain countries, including him, were required to register with the U.S. government. Many were deported. (You didn't know that, did you?)
"It wasn't a Muslim ban," he said, "because it was based on which country we were born in. But of course almost everyone from Pakistan is Muslim. And it would have been very dangerous for me to be deported back to Pakistan. I was, and am, very openly gay."
Homosexuality is illegal in Pakistan, as it used to be in the States. The reason most Americans now don't have a problem with equal rights for gays is that more of us are out now, so most Americans know an openly gay person, and are fine with that.
But most Americans probably don't know a Muslim. My friend in the pub was the first Democrat one of his neighbors in the U.S. had ever met, never mind Muslim. I believe that most Americans are good-hearted and don't mean harm to their fellow citizens, but it's very difficult to be reconciled when we don't even talk to each other. When we have no idea of each other's life experience.
Democracy, whether in the U.S., Canada or elsewhere, is work. As the Pakistani-American's registration experience shows, it can suffer setbacks at any time. If we want it to work, we have to participate.
To quote a great country songwriter, Willie Nelson: "The world's getting smaller and everyone in it belongs."

SANTA ANA, Calif. (KABC) --Ten students from McFadden Intermediate School in Santa Ana were rushed to a hospital after ingesting an undetermined substance, authorities said on Monday.
The Orange County Fire Authority responded to the school, located in the 2700 block of Raitt Street, shortly after noon.
They found several students showing "lethargic symptoms" due to the ingestion of some type of substance. It was not immediately known what that substance was.
Santa Ana Unified School District spokesperson Deidra Powell said students began to arrive at the nurse's office around 9 a.m. All of them were complaining about the same symptoms.
"Just not themselves, not feeling well, not able to pay attention in class, wanted to be asleep," Powell said.
Paramedics assessed the students and transported a total of 10 to an area hospital -- seven girls and three boys. All were later reported to be in stable condition and expected to be released to their families soon.
The students are a mix of sixth, seventh and eighth-graders, officials said. Their parents were immediately notified.
Powell said the unfortunate reality is that many students experiment at this age. She and the school were working to notify and inform the rest of the students and their parents about these situations.
"We want to make sure that our students know the dangers of taking something that you don't know what it is...from your classmates," she said.
Santa Ana school police and district officials were investigating where the substance came from.

I made a mistake when I said the Creme Brulee was part of Webs' store brand of yarn. In the comments, Johanna said she had been looking for some all over the place, then Lauren asked if Knit One Crochet Too was really Webs own yarn. So I looked it up and Knit One Crochet Too is not actually theirs. They do have their own line, but now I don't know what it's called. Sorry about any confusion!
Does anyone remember what Webs yarn is called?
Stay tuned for pictures of my haul from Rhinebeck. Also, I just got back from seeing the Yarn Harlot at the Willow Bookstore and it was such fun! I met a group of amazing and hilarious ladies and we all for drinky-drinks after Stephanie finished her authorly duties. More on that tomorrow, too.

The BBC3 controller, Danny Cohen, has unveiled plans to turn the channel into the UK's "most ambitious multiplatform network" with all its programmes to be simulcast on the internet.
The digital youth channel is also undergoing a major rebranding as it approaches its fifth anniversary with a pink logo replacing its current blue design and talking animated blobs.
Cohen is hoping BBC3 will become the corporation's first non-rolling news channel to transform from a linear service to a fully multiplatform venture.
He has pledged to put interactive ideas at the heart of the channel's schedule, with regular peak time slots given to user-generated content and viewers encouraged to upload clips of themselves introducing their favourite BBC3 programmes, with the best to be shown on screen.
Unveiling the changes, which will kick off next month, Cohen said today: "BBC3 is aiming to become Britain's most ambitious multiplatform network - combining television and the web into a single, integrated offering.
"At BBC3 we should be known for pioneering risk, and be obsessed with all things new - new talent, new programmes and a new relationship between television and the internet.
"The thinking behind this rebrand of the channel is that we have, in effect, created a BBC3 world in which our content can move seamlessly between TV, online and mobile.
"We have a fantastic lineup of programmes and we are going to make them available wherever young people want them."
Cohen, the former E4 controller who was appointed in April last year, said there would be a particular focus on drama in the new BBC3 winter and spring 2008 schedule.
Six drama pilots will include Phoo Action, written by Tank Girl creator Jamie Hewlett; thriller The Things I Haven't Told You; Being Human, a tale of a vampire, a ghost and a werewolf who share a house; and Mrs In-Betweeny, created by Shameless writer Paul Abbott and Caleb Ranson.
One of the dramas will be chosen to become a series for next year.
The channel will also screen US drama Greek, as well as first run episodes of the second series of Heroes.
Entertainment will be spearheaded by Lily Allen and Friends, based around social networking, and interactive comedy-entertainment show The Wall.
New entertainment format Upstaged will be a mixture of talent show, stamina and social networking, which Cohen has described as "risky".
In comedy, the multi award-winning Gavin and Stacey returns for a second series, while The Wrong Door is a sketch show with CGI.
News bulletin 60 Seconds gets a revamp with the launch of nightly world news update, offering coverage of global events seen through the eyes of news stations around the world.
There will also be a weekly commitment to environmental news and special bulletins on everything from technology to entertainment and weekend sport.
In factual, Pramface Mansion will look at the demands of being a single parent, while Making the Clothes I Wear will see six fans of high street fashion gain first-hand experience of working in the clothing industry in the developing world.
Jack's Story is billed as "intimate look" at the lives of young men fighting in Afghanistan, while a season of one-off documentaries, Lost Innocence, will probe young people's obsessions, including choosing a career in modelling and teen pregnancy.
Find Me the Face will see model scouts competing to find a new star in just one month, while Filthy Gorgeous is billed as the world's first "make-under" show, scrubbing down over-the-top boys and girls to reveal their natural beauty.

A sonic boom sounded in Belgrade today for the first time in two days after talks in Macedonia on the withdrawal of Yugoslav troops from Kosovo broke down early this morning.
NATO, which has focused its attacks on Kosovo rather than on the rest of Serbia since Belgrade agreed to an international peace plan on Thursday, has threatened to intensify its air strikes against Yugoslavia if the military does not withdraw. NATO flew almost 500 air missions on its 75th day of bombings.
Yugoslavia confirmed today that it wants a U.N. Security Council resolution before any foreign troops enter Kosovo. Meanwhile, Russia said today that it is deeply concerned by growing demands from NATO, and by the alliance's failure to halt the bombing of Yugoslavia.

For the last few weeks, the future of The Brewer's Art's Ozzy beer has been in question because of a recent cease-and-desist letter from representatives of rock singer Ozzy Osbourne. Finally, co-owner Tom Creegan put the rumors to rest on Wednesday afternoon.
"We have agreed to change the name and packaging for the beer formerly known as Ozzy," Creegan said. He declined to elaborate further on the situation between Osbourne's camp and the beer company, but confirmed only the name and packaging were changing — not the recipe.
The Brewer's Art is asking patrons for help in naming the soon-to-be-rebranded beer. Between now and April 20, customers can submit names in-person at the North Charles Street bar. (Suggestions made online will not be considered.)
Creegan said naming a beer, especially today, is more difficult than some might expect.
"There are so many breweries now, and so many beers being made," he said. "We get on the beer sites and look [potential names] up, and the ones we like are taken."
While a date has yet to be set for the official renaming, Creegan expects it to happen quickly.
"It's just been one of those things that's been lingering, and it has to happen," Creegan said. "We just need to get moving on it."
As of now, the winner of the naming contest will receive "eternal gratitude and bragging rights," he said. He also offered a couple tips: Avoid plays on the name Ozzy, as the company is searching for "a new direction." Also, ownership remains fond of the pitchfork tap-handle that has been used upstairs to serve Ozzy.
"We've had it forever," Creegan said. "Something that can incorporate that would be pretty cool."

Today, I got this beautiful Vivienne Westwood Tiny Orb Pendant all the way from Canada at the post office. I just won this necklace from a blog giveaway. Been a fan of the brand since then because of their bags I have and some clothes that I see on the runway every season. I felt so lucky after winning of course, but I felt a lot luckier upon seeing how gorgeous it is in flesh. Plus it's my first branded necklace, so I also checked the official site of Vivienne Westwood then saw it's £110 which is like almost P6,000. Shocked, I can't buy that on my own seriously. I'm so excited to wear it!!
So I am grateful to Miss Joandy of http://mystylebyjoandy.blogspot.ca/. Please visit her site, she has a great style and maybe you will be the winner of her next giveaway.

The show began with a Wrestlemania rematch as Chris Jericho took on Fandango.
With the lovely Summer Rae watching on from ringside these two easily picked up where they'd left off a few weeks ago. Jericho took it to the dancer before Fandango came back into the match, pulling off some pretty good moves in the process.
The action flowed along nicely as Jericho applied the Walls and Fandango missed his top rope leg drop. A few moments later Fandango went to the top rope again, but this time around Jericho took him down with the Code Breaker as he came down. A three count later and Jericho had the win.
The first title match of the evening saw the Shield's Dean Ambrose challenging Kofi Kingston for the United States title.
We got a bit of a surprise before the match began when Ambrose wasn't joined at ringside by his running buddies. It didn't have any bearing on the match anyway, because what we had here was a pretty decent encounter.
It was a fast paced match packed with great moves from both men. Kingston was, once again, particularly impressive with his high impact moves, as was Ambrose, who showed that he didn't need his cohorts watching his back all the time.
The crucial moment came late on when Kingston took his man down with the Trouble in Paradise kick while Ambrose was on the ring apron. But instead of taking the count out win Kingston rolled him back into the ring, only for Ambrose to reach the ropes when he went for the pin.
Kingston went for his big move again a few moments later, but this time around Ambrose managed to avoid it before taking the champion down with his side headlock into a DDT for the title winning pin.
The first of the stipulation matches followed as Mark Henry took on Sheamus in a strap match.
I've never really been a fan of strap matches, but I have to admit this wasn't too bad. Hang on! Something just occurred to me! After all of these years I'm starting to praise Mark Henry's matches on a regular basis!
Anyway, back to the matter at hand. This was basically one big brawl as they sought to achieve their objective. There wasn't really anything fancy here, just two guys trying to touch all four corners in quick succession. What surprised me about this match that although we saw some innovative ways of achieving the objective the strap wasn't used that much, which was a little disappointing.
As for the ending the win went to the Irishman. Having touched three corners Henry tried to stop him from touching the last one until Sheamus countered the World's Strongest Slam attempt with the Brogue Kick so he could get the final touch for the win.
With World Champion Dolph Ziggler having suffered a concussion the Smackdown main event became a number one contenders I Quit match between Jack Swagger and Alberto Del Rio. Both men were accompanied by their respective cheerleading parties.
Well this one certainly proved to be an interesting encounter with an interesting twist at the end. These two didn't wait to long to bring the toys, or rather toy, into the match when Del Rio found the kendo stick that always finds itself under the ring. Both guys had their turn with the weapon, and at one point I though we were going to get a Sandman/Tommy Dreamer moment when Swagger tied ADR in the ropes for multiple stick shots.
As the match went on both men began to pull out all the stops, but with neither man saying the magic word it looked like we were going to be in for a long night. Del Rio applied his cross arm breaker Swagger held on long enough to counter with his ankle lock, and as Del Rio fought against the pain it looked like his buddy Ricardo Rodriguez was about the throw in the towel on his behalf.
That was until Zeb Colter grabbed it from him and threw it in himself. The referee saw it laying in front of him and promptly called the match, giving Swagger the win. Or so we though. A second official appeared to tell the first official what had happened, and after studying the replay he ordered a restart.
Swagger immediately went after the ankle again, but Del Rio managed to fight him off so he could apply the cross arm breaker again. It wasn't long before Swagger said the magic words, giving Del Rio the win and the title shot.
The title action continued with Kane and Daniel Bryan of Team Hell No defending the Tag Team titles against the Shield's Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins in a tornado match.
This one may not have lasted that long but they certainly packed a lot into it. The all hell breaking loose moment was the entire match, and with all four men in the ring at the same time we saw some great sequences.
The Shield boys looked a little off their game early on as Bryan and Kane displayed some great team work. It looked like it was going to be a dominating win for the champions until Reigns and Rollins came back into the match. This made it an even more interesting back and forth affair, and both teams came close to getting the win, especially when Bryan tried to take Reigns out with the No-Lock.
But as the action neared it's climax after Kane had been taken out of the equation Reigns lifted Bryan onto his shoulders. It looked like he was going for the old Torture Rack submission hold until Rollins came down off the top rope and connected with a knee to take the three count and the win.
The Extreme Rules match followed as the Big Show went up against Randy Orton.
If the PG era has taught us anything it's that the word extreme doesn't mean today what it meant a few years ago. This match is the perfect example of that. Compared to the old hardcore division this match seemed quite tame. Well executed, but tame.
The action certainly can't be faulted. Both men put in good performances as they hit each other with kendo sticks, chairs, and a ladder, but not much else as far as weapons are concerned.
The crash and burn moment came when Show perched a ladder on to two chairs before placing Orton on the new platform. He then climbed to the second rope, but as he came down Orton managed to roll out of the way, leaving Show to come crashing down onto the ladder.
It looked all over there and then, but not even two RKO's, one of them onto a chair, could get the job done, and it was only after Orton punted the big man in the head did he managed to get the winning pin.
The Raw main event saw Ryback challenging John Cena for the WWE title in a last man standing match.
I guess they were saving the extreme stuff for this encounter. From the moment this match started these two tore into each other, with Ryback throwing the champion around like the proverbial stuffed toy. He put on a tremendous display of power, but no matter what he did Cena kept beating the count.
It wasn't all one way traffic though. Cena managed to get in his fair share of offence as well, but like his opponent he just couldn't get the job done. Eventually the brawling took them to ringside and beyond. After the timekeeper's area was all but destroyed they began brawling through the crowd. More weapons and table spots followed until they made it to the stage as the carnage quota was taken up a notch.
At one point it looked like Cena was going to throw Ryback off the stage with the Attitude Adjuster until the big man countered by barging Cena through the lighting set. As the sparks flew and the lights dimmed the referee ran backstage, and while Ryback was helped to his feet Cena was strapped to a stretcher and carted away. No official outcome was announced, although Wikipedia said it was declared a no contest.
The main event saw Brock Lesnar, accompanied by Paul Heyman, facing Triple H in a steel cage match.
Now this is what a steel cage match should be all about, a brutal contest between two men who absolutely detest each other. It began when Trips attacked Lesnar as he made his entrance. He then put Heyman on his backside with a right hand before he entered the cage.
Once the match began Lesnar began to throw trips around like…wait, I've already used that particular metaphor. Anyway, he threw Trips around the ring and looked brutal until the Game ducked out of the way of a running knee as Lesnar rammed said joint into the fence.
It was then that the match became even more interesting. Lesnar showed that he did have a human side as he cried out in pain, letting Heyman know that his knee had gone. That was like a red rag to a bull as far as Triple H was concerned as he began to use the injured limb for target practice.
No matter what he tried though the heavily limping Lesnar kept coming back for more, and with the intensity levels going up to 11 Heyman introduced a chair into the equation. Both men began to use the weapon, and it wasn't long before a second weapon came into play when Triple H brought out the a sledgehammer he'd hidden on top of the cage.
The next few moments proved to be quite frantic. Heyman tried to interfere but was taken down by a Pedigree, as was Lesnar seconds later. The Pain still survived the pin attempt though.
But just when Trips was about to use the hammer Heyman connected with a low blow. Lesnar then took the hammer and connected with a shot to Trips' jaw. He then finished the job with an F5, and a three count later he had the win.
In conclusion - the first pay per view after Wrestlemania is normally a statement of intent as far as WWE are concerned as they look to see how the summer months will play out before the big one in August, and if this show is anything to go by then the next few weeks should be very interesting.
Extreme Rules proved to be a very good show. All of the matches here were very enjoyable. In fact the action was so good towards the end it made one forget about the high profile absentees, and I'm not talking about the concussed World Champion.
As for my match of the night no-prize there were several candidates, but it only seems right to give it to the Brock Lesnar/Triple H war. And to think we almost had to wait until Summerslam to see that one!
So with all of that out of the way there's only one more thing to do, and that's to give Extreme Rules the thumbs up.

Society since 1940
The surge of economic growth that lasted from the mid-1950s to the mid-1970s brought extensive changes in French lifestyles and in some of society's basic structures. As the century neared its end, most French people had come to enjoy greater comfort and security than their forebears; they took for granted automobiles, modern household appliances, and vacation homes in the country, which had been regarded as luxuries not too long before. The French had been converted to installment buying and supermarket shopping; they spent less on food and drink and more on health and leisure. Thanks to the social security system that was expanded after World War II, they were better protected against the hazards of illness, unemployment, and a neglected old age.
The most striking structural change taking place in France was rapid urbanization. The farm population, which stood at about one-third of the total population in 1940, fell to less than 5 percent in the 1990s, yet farm production increased as modern techniques spread, making France one of the world's leading agricultural exporters. In the industrial regions, modern technology and a new managerial spirit brought France to the threshold of the postindustrial age. The proportion of unskilled workers declined in favour of technically trained specialists, and even more dramatic was the explosive growth in the number of white-collar employees and middle-level managers. At the base of this social pyramid was a new proletariat of immigrants from southern Europe and Africa, who provided the manual labour that most French workers were no longer willing to perform. In the 1990s these immigrants constituted between 5 and 10 percent of France's population, and their presence fed social and racial tensions, aggravated by widespread joblessness.
Anti-immigrant resentment spurred the rise of Jean-Marie Le Pen's National Front, which called for casting out aliens and reclaiming "France for the French" but benefited more from morose protest against the sitting government than from prejudice. In 1999 the Front, which had always stood more for protest than principle, succumbed to internal dissensions and broke apart, but it experienced a dramatic rebirth under Le Pen's daughter Marine. The challenge for French society in the 21st century came from a Europe without borders or national currencies—where workers, students, businesses, and immigrants from beyond the European Union could move freely from one country to another.
High culture has always seeped into popular culture and coloured it, perhaps more so in France than in other countries. Today, in France as elsewhere, the reverse is also true: the culture of everyday life encourages dislocations that elude socioeconomic and national boundaries. Differences of taste or of opinion, once dismissed as superficial, aggravate moral and political rifts. Sponsored by past Socialist governments as popular art, rock music in the 1960s called yé-yé (yeah-yeah) and hip-hop music and graffiti art at the end of the 20th century were perceived by some as playful and by others as threatening. In the 21st century multiculturalism was both welcomed as emancipating and scorned as divisive, as was the diffuse anti-Americanism, which for many stood in for antimodernism. All these disruptions were by-products of accelerated societal change.

Yoko Ono, John Lennon and their immigration attorney, Michael Wildes (right), leave the Immigration and Naturalization Service in New York City on March 16, 1972.
Every December 8 we mourn the loss of John Lennon. This year marks the 36th anniversary of his assassination. Lennon was fatally shot by Mark David Chapman while walking into a New York City apartment on December 8, 1980.
People in my generation find this senseless act so despicable. We understand that Chapman took away the man most responsible for the soundtrack of our lives. Lennon was the musical and cultural icon who exemplified the love and peace movements. His music, more than that of any other popular performer, changed our world. For no reason, we lost him much too soon.
We should remember John Lennon was much more than a talented musician.
Today it is appropriate to speak about a fight waged by John Lennon. It is lesser known than many of his other political exploits; however, it marks an important decision for United States immigration. Considering the times and the leaders, how important it is.
Elizabeth Mitchell of the New York Daily News speaks of Lennon's fight for freedom in America ...
"Who knows what Strom Thurmond had against the Beatles, but the senator from South Carolina certainly knew how to make John Lennon's life miserable. On Feb. 4, 1972, the 69-year-old, anti–Civil Rights agitator wrote a few lines to Attorney General John Mitchell and President Richard Nixon's aide, William Timmons, which would end up threatening Lennon with deportation and entangling him in legal limbo for almost four years.
"'This appears to me to be an important matter, and I think it would be well for it to be considered at the highest level,' Thurmond wrote. 'As I can see, many headaches might be avoided if appropriate action can be taken in time.'"
(Elizabeth Mitchell. "How this hastily shot image of John Lennon became an enduring symbol of freedom. New York Daily News. June 11, 2016.)
Word had it that leftists had gathered in New York and discussed the possibility of Lennon appearing at concerts on college campuses to promote voter registration, marijuana legalization, and bus trips to the Republican convention for throngs of willing protesters.
Lennon's friend, photographer Bob Gruen, said the reality was that Lennon felt he shouldn't endorse or attack individual U.S. candidates. Grune claims Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono strove never to be negative. "They weren't anti-war. They were pro-peace," Gruen says. "They weren't against a politician; they were for voting."
Yet, despite Lennon's positive intentions, Thurman's letter reached sympathetic ears, and by the end of February, John and Yoko received a letter from the Immigration and Naturalization Service telling them they had until March 15 to leave the country. John was found to be an "excludable alien."
Mitchell explained the charges ...
"In 1968, a police drug squad had conducted a warrantless search of his London flat and found a half ounce of hashish. Lennon claimed he hadn't known the hash was there and, in fact, had swept the apartment three weeks earlier on a tipoff that the squad would be coming. (Since Jimi Hendrix had been a previous tenant he left nothing to chance.) He and Ono had even gotten a friend in the police force to pre-search the place to make sure they were clear. But the raiding officers discovered the stash in a pair of binoculars, found in an untouched box of possessions that had been moved from his previous residence. Lennon pleaded guilty and paid a 150-pound fine. The charge, he thought, was behind him."
Bob Dylan wrote a letter on Lennon's behalf. Do did Joan Baez. Others also wrote letters to the service: beat poet Gregory Corso, novelists John Updike and Joyce Carol Oates, painter Jasper Johns, composer John Cage, Leonard Bernstein of "West Side Story," and Joseph Heller of "Catch-22."
On October 30, 1974, John Lennon and Gruen created an image that would make his case succinctly.
On Tom Snyder's talk show in April 1975, Lennon said, "I love the place. I like to be here. I've got a lot of friends here, and it's where I want to be, Statue of Liberty…welcome."
For the entire story about Bob Gruen's iconic photo, please click here: http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/new-york-stories-john-lennon-iconic-statue-liberty-snapshot-article-1.2668009
Lennon's attorney Leon Wilde said John "understood that what was being done to him was wrong. It was an abuse of the law, and he was willing to stand up and shine the big light on it."
(Dave Swanson. "The Day John Lennon's Deportation Order Was Reversed. ultimateclassicrock.com. December 07, 2015.)
After years of struggle. Lennon finally received a green card, which allowed him to stay in the U.S. But, most importantly, the files discovered in Lennon's case led U.S. immigration officials to publicize a secret policy.
New York State Supreme Court Judge Irving Kaufman said, "The courts will not condone selective deportation based upon secret political grounds." He added, "Lennon's four-year battle to remain in our country is testimony to his faith in this American dream."
(Hansi Lo Wang. John Lennon's Deportation Fight Paved Way For Obama's Deferred Action Policy. National Public Radio. August 23, 2016.)
In fighting the system and exposing the files, John Lennon had effectively changed American immigration policy. It remains pertinent today.
The Obama administration used that policy to create the original Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA.
"Eligible individuals who do not present a risk to national security or public safety will be able to request temporary relief from deportation proceedings and apply for work authorization," said President Obama in a 2012 announcement.
An expansion of the program, as well as the creation of a similar program called Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents, or DAPA, is currently on hold because of legal challenges.
Now, the original DACA program covers more than 700,000 young people brought to the U.S. as children — all in part because of John Lennon.
Today we once more remember John Lennon – musician, song-writer, cultural icon, and revered political activist. Thank you, you dreamer. You truly changed our lives.

Timing of Umbilical Cord Clamping in Term and
Preterm Deliveries and Infant and Maternal Outcomes: A
Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials
Joseph L Mathew
Advanced Pediatrics Centre, PGIMER, Chandigarh 160 012,
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Active management of the third stage of labor
(comprising administration of a uterotonic agent, cord clamping and
cutting, and controlled cord traction) has supplanted the 'physiological'
(non-interventionist) approach [1]; as a consequence the umbilical cord is
usually clamped soon after delivery of the baby. The observation that the
cord can contain up to 20 mL of blood [2] raised the possibility of
delaying clamping to allow placental transfusion to the baby. One of the
major advantages could be to increase the circulating volume and
hemoglobin level. The benefits of the former include less respiratory
distress and reduced need for later transfusions [3,4]. Increasing the
hemoglobin level and iron stores is attractive because anemia in early
infancy is a frequent problem, especially in developing countries. However
these potential benefits need to be balanced against possible harmful
effects, for the mother (postpartum hemorrhage and its consequences)
[1,5,6] and infant (delayed resuscitation, hypothermia, polycythemia,
hyperbilirubinemia and risk of intraventricular hemorrhage). The issue is
complicated by the fact that term babies, preterm babies and very
premature babies could behave as different cohorts, making it difficult to
develop an empiric guideline for timing of cord clamping across all
This systematic review explores the question: Does
delayed cord clamping (intervention) at delivery, improve maternal
and infant (population), short-term and long-term outcomes (outcome),
compared to early cord clamping (comparator)?
Current Best Evidence
An exhaustive literature search was undertaken in
September 2010, for randomized controlled trials (RCT) comparing delayed
cord clamping (DCC) defined as >30 seconds following delivery, versus
early cord clamping (ECC) defined as within 30 seconds of delivery;
reporting maternal and/or infant outcomes. The final updated search on 16
December 2010 in the Cochrane Library (search term "cord clamp" and
filter "Record title") yielded 3 Cochrane systematic reviews (CSR),
5 other systematic reviews, and 71 trials. Medline search on the same date
(search term: cord clamping; limits: randomized controlled
trial, meta-analysis) yielded 137 citations. The available systematic
reviews [7-12] were either outdated and/or had methodological limitations.
A total of 57 publications were short-listed as
potentially relevant. Thirty were excluded for the following reasons: not
RCT comparing DCC vs ECC (n=6), RCT but intervention in
either arm not according to definition of DCC or ECC (n=4), RCT but
intervention in control arm not described (n=1), outcome not of
interest (n=2), publications as editorials, correspondence or
commentaries (n=6), outdated systematic reviews (n=6), only
abstract available without data (n=5). Overall, 29 trial reports -
15 in term and 14 in preterm deliveries comprise current best evidence (Table
I); this includes two additional trials identified through searching
of bibliography of short-listed publications [23] and recent conference
proceedings [27].
Table I
Summary of Included RCTs
AB=antibiotics; ACCP=at cessation of cord pulsations; APD=after placental descent; Bil=Bilirubin;
BP=blood pressure; BPD=broncho-pulmonary dysplasia; BT=blood transfusion; DCC= delayed cord clamping;
ECC = early cord clamping; ET=exchange transfusion; Hb=haemoglobin; HB=hyperbilirubinemia; Hct=hematocrit;
ICC=immediate cord clamping; IP=infant position; IVH=intraventricular hemmorhage; LOS=late onset sepsis,
MBP=mean blood pressure; MRP=manual removal of placenta; MV=mechanical ventilation;
NEC=necrotizing enterocolitis; NICU=neonatal intensive care unit; NS=not specified; PC=polycythemia;
PDA=patent ductus arteriosus; PP=post-partum hemmorhage; PT=phototherapy; RBC=red blood cell;
RD=respiratory distress; RoP=retinopathy of prematurity; SBP=systolic blood pressure, USG=ultrasonography
Results of meta-analyses for 17 outcomes in term
deliveries and 16 outcomes in preterm deliveries are detailed in
Table II. The findings suggest limited clinically significant
benefits of delayed cord clamping for term infants; however it resulted in
significantly reduced incidence of intraventricular hemorrhage in preterm
neonates. Delayed clamping neither increases complications nor provides
benefits for mothers delivering at term; risks and benefits for mothers
delivering prematurely have not been explored in the trials.
Table II
Summary of Meta-Analysis of data pertaining to term deliveries
CI=confidence interval, MD=mean difference, RR=relative risk
Critical Appraisal
Risk of bias: The 29 trials included in the two
components of this systematic review comprise current best evidence from
published literature. However, only 4 trials in term deliveries
[13,14,20,24] and 7 in preterm deliveries [31,32,34-36,39,40] could be
classified as having low risk of bias based on criteria in the Cochrane
Risk of Bias tool; the remainder had moderate or high [16,18,21,22,25,27]
risk of bias. Web Table I
summarizes the assessment of risk
of bias in the included trials. Data in term deliveries was too limited
for sensitivity analysis to assess impact of low(er) quality trials. Among
preterm deliveries, risk of mortality and intraventricular hemorrhage were
comparable among trials with low risk of bias (RR 0.25, 95% CI=0.04-1.45,
4 trials, n=308) and (RR 0.52; 95% CI=0.28-0.98, 4 trials, n=308)
respectively, suggesting robust results.
Participant characteristics: All the trials
included fairly stable pregnant women and used several exclusion criteria
prior to randomization. Similarly, babies likely to be at risk of adverse
outcomes were generally excluded. Therefore, the results pertain to a
fairly well-filtered cohort of mothers and babies; raising the problem of
distinguishing between efficacy and effectiveness of interventions. The
trials among preterms did not describe the indication/cause of preterm
delivery. This is important because antepartum hemorrhage, fetal distress,
etc could be contributory; in such situations DCC cannot be considered.
Procedural differences in trials: Although the
definition of ECC was fairly uniform across trials, DCC was defined in
multiple ways (time ranging from 30 seconds to 5 minutes). This implies
that trials with different DCC definitions could be heterogeneous enough
to warrant caution in interpreting results.
Further, besides the timing of cord clamping, the
position of the infant following delivery could independently affect
placental transfusion to the baby. Since there is no clear recommendation
on the ideal infant position following delivery [42], trials in term
babies positioned babies either lower than the introitus [17,19,25,26], or
at the same level [20-22] in the DCC arm. Position was not specified in
the ECC arm. One trial [18] had two DCC arms with position lower and at
level. Among preterms, the majority of trials used lower position with DCC
[28,29,31,32,34-36,39,40]. Only one trial [38] used the lower position for
both arms. The impact of position could not be ascertained in this
systematic review.
It is customary to administer an uterotonic drug during
the active management of the third stage; some trials included this
component in either or both arms. The relative impact of this also cannot
be established through this systematic review. Most trials included
vaginal deliveries; some included Caesarean section deliveries as well.
The relative differences (if any) between the two modes of delivery could
not be explored in this review.
Conflict of maternal and neonatal interest: The
current standard of care is to manage the third stage of labor actively
(rather than expectantly) [43]; hence DCC is not the preferred method from
the Obstetricians' perspective. However, many Units are shifting to a
policy of DCC in term deliveries, expecting benefit for infants. Waiting
for DCC in a stable baby (not requiring resuscitation) does not pose a
problem from the pediatricians' viewpoint. However, since DCC has limited
clinical benefits in term babies, this could create an apparent 'conflict'
between maternal and neonatal interest, which can be resolved through
joint appraisal and application of current best evidence. Unfortunately,
none of the trials examined preferences of (maternal and neonatal)
personnel in the delivery team.
Most of the trials among term deliveries were conducted
in developing country populations, including two from India. However, all
were conducted in settings with facilities for management of potential
adverse maternal and neonatal consequences at the point-of-care; these
facilities are consistent with services at level II (and above) neonatal
care facilities. Limitations of manpower and/or material resources across
various delivery settings could preclude application of the evidence in
this systematic review.
Conflict of interest: None stated; Funding:
EURECA Conclusions in the Indian Context
• For infants delivered at term, delayed cord
clamping results in very limited clinically significant, short and
long-term benefits; it neither increases maternal complications nor
provides maternal benefit.
• Among preterm deliveries, delayed cord clamping
results in significantly reduced risk of intraventricular hemorrhage
and marginal hemodynamic benefits in neonates. The risks and
benefits for mothers are not known.

We spotted these adorable little bow ties at Target & also a local pet store for dogs & we had to have one! But I had such a hard time spending $6-$14 on one! {weird I know, but I knew there had to be a cheaper way} I told Betsy that we were going to create our own! So that is exactly what we did!! This is a great project for little fabric scraps you may have laying around! Also it is a great little project to do with your kids {as long as you are the one operating the glue gun} Betsy and I had a blast! After we made a couple we were adding bobby pins to them to use as little boys bow-tie, ADORABLE, and also in a little girls hair! One can seriously have so much fun with these!! Here is what you need to get started:
What you need:
Fabric {roughly 9 in x 5.5 in}
Glue gun
glue sticks
elastic {if making for a doggie collar}
Bobby pin {if making a hair clip or for little boy}
Cut out a piece of your fabric so it roughly measures 9x5 inches. Also cut a little extra piece that is about 2 inches long that will be your center of the bow-tie.
Start up that glue gun and get prepared to glue!
Fold the other half over and glue down.
Take one side and fold in half. Glue Down.
Now take the other overlapping a little and glue down. You are getting so close to being complete!
If you pinch the middle you will see your bow tie coming together!!
The little piece that you cut out for the middle I glued the sides in so it creates a nice seam!
Wrap around bow-tie and glue down in back where your seam is!
Glue your elastic in a little circle and now glue that down to your bowtie in back!! {I had elastic that was probably 1/2 thick I even cut that in half so it wasn't so thick, you just need a little piece and it truly needs to be a small circle so it fits snuggly against the collar.}
Attach to collar! Such an adorable photo prop! Our Little Charles sports his collar with pride!
Here a couple examples our other ideas!
Run with it! Share with other ideas that we may have missed! Thanks for stopping by!

Bayou Buddies - Hordes Gatormen
I had high hopes when the Minions faction book was announced that they'd be making a hypothetical Wrongeye a fully fledged warlock in 2nd edition, or that there'd be a four star-style mini-faction with Magnus allowable, but neither were the case.
I still really like the aesthetic, though didn't like the rest of the faction enough to pursue it, instead taking on Malifaux Gremlins as my swamp faction of choice.
I wanted to try something a little different on the various magic models, an tried a harsh yellow OSL effect on their eyes, which I think came off pretty well.
