Trustworthy reviews are our priority. Businesses can't pay to change or remove reviews.
We recently had our wedding ceremony and reception at The Maryland Zoo, and it was a perfect venue! Jane and Jackie were helpful and responsive, making the planning process as easy as possible. The venue itself is beautiful. First, we got great pictures in a variety of settings around the zoo, which I can't wait to see. We then had an indoor ceremony on the Mansion House Porch, though the windows still made the ceremony feel summery and light. Our cocktail hour and reception were also on the Porch. I wasn't sure how the transition between events would go, but it was seamless. During cocktail hour, we had 2 penguin ambassadors, which was a huge hit among guests! I really appreciated that Jackie coordinated the penguins' arrival with a few minutes my husband and I had planned to have outside by ourselves after the ceremony. That allowed us to have some time with the penguins, taking pictures and talking to the handlers, so that when we went in to the cocktail hour both we - and perhaps more importantly, the penguins - were free to interact with guests.
Overall, we were really pleased with how well everything went on the part of the venue - thanks in no small part to Jane, Jackie, and Jenn - and what a beautiful, functional backdrop it provided for our wedding. We also felt that it was a great value!
After searching through what felt like a million venue reviews, we found the Maryland Zoo. My husband and I joked at first when I clicked on the link, him laughing at me because I loved the zoo and very skeptical that we would ever get married there. But as soon as we saw the pictures of the lovely mansion house, we started to seriously reconsider! We met with Jane at the zoo and immediately fell in love with the venue. After seeing at least five other spaces, we knew that we would have to do little decorating to make the beautiful space exactly what we wanted for our special day. Jane was very helpful in working for us and we walked out feeling like we had finally found the place to get married. They had a comprehensive list of vendors they liked to work with and we found soo many other vendors that we also fell in love with. When Jen took over our event, we war equally pleased with how responsive to our questions the zoo was. AND we had a penguin, who can beat that! My brother in law even sent a copy of If I Ran the Zoo and staff members at the zoo signed the pages to make it the most memorable gift we have received. We highly recommend the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore if you want a truly unique and romantic setting for your wedding!
If you want to have a simple, low key ceremony plan for the elopement package at the Maryland zoo! My now husband and I did not want the traditional church wedding. We really would have rather eloped but our families would not have appreciated that!! The elopement package is the best of both worlds!! You are there for an hour, you can add a photographer and PENGUIN to the package as well!!! Winnie the penguin made the experience so amazing and we have some of the most fun and unique photos with her in them!!!! Jane is so awesome to work with and she responded to ALL of my MANY emails promptly. I couldn't be happier with our zoo wedding experience and it will be a day I will never forget!
The Zoo is a wonderful and beautiful place to have a wedding ceremony and reception.
The staff members are extremely responsive, organized, experienced and kind. They will make sure you have thought of everything as they help you set up your event. I would give them over a 5 star rating if I could.
A lot of people were shocked when I said I was getting married at the Zoo, people don't realize what the site really looks like. The Lakeside Pavillon and Mansion House are behind the Zoo, closer to Druid Hill Lake. This makes it peaceful, quiet, serene and beautiful.
The Mansion House being surrounded by windows really makes you feel like you're outside. The lighting inside is gorgeous and your photos will turn out lovely. The room is a square, so 1 side of the room cannot see the other. This is actually great if you have family that doesn't get along. The dance floor is in the middle though, so have no fear, everyone can see you.
The Lakeside Pavillon is quiet and quant. You may see some random animals around!
The option to have an animal ambassador (or 2 or 3...) is the most fun. Guests can enjoy taking selfies with the animals and as the couple, you may get to touch! You definitely get private photos and the trainers teach you a little about the animal too. Super cool experience for both you and your guests.
The best part for me was taking a golf cart tour around the back of the Zoo that loops around to the front carousel. This allows for some awesome fun photos!
You will not be disappointed with a wedding at the Zoo!
What a beautiful place to celebrate a wedding! My husband and I wanted a venue that offered both historic charm and natural Springtime beauty. The Mansion House is the perfect marriage of both. Jane was a pleasure to work with- very professional, responsive, warm, and helpful. She was respectful of our budget and guided us to several of our other vendors (whom we loved!). We wanted to layout the space differently and were accommodated per our very specific request. We arrived at the zoo during a rainy downpour. The attendants remained outside (while getting soaked) and were quick to help us into the building. The penguin, Hope, was adorable and loved by all our guests. Her keeper was also fantastic and surprisingly helpful in assisting in our photos with her. The Mansion House is a great place for anyone who wants an outdoor venue but is afraid the weather will not cooperate. It has private parking, lots of space, great photo ops, and a wonderful staff. The best part is knowing your money helps a very worthy cause. We would highly recommend!!
When you say the zoo you do not think of the perfect place to get married, but that is exactly what the mansion house was for my wife and I. Everything was exceptional from the mansion house itself, to the staff that supported us. They couldn't have been more friendly or flexible, making sure that our special day was truly perfect. Thank you so much for everything!
The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore Mansion House was a beautiful historic and unique venue for our wedding. Their staff was professional and willing to work with us to replan our wedding in only a month due to our previous venue being auctioned. Jane was able to help us find vendors and complete everything we needed to in such an abbreviated amount of time. Jackie was so much fun driving us around in the golf cart for pictures and at the reception! Winnie the Penguin was present at our cocktail hour and stole the show! All of the guests loved her, plus my husband and I were able to pet her! We had a truly magical night and the perfect wedding! I would definitely recommend The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore Mansion House for an amazing and once in a life time event!
Our wedding was beautiful and full of charm. The staff was wonderful and very helpful. We could not have asked for more.
The Maryland Zoo is a fantastic place to get married! When I was first getting started – I found it very frustrating when venues would give me the run around regarding prices/availability/etc – Not here. Jane always responded quickly – and from the first email I was impressed with her professionalism.
Due to the month – my wedding ceremony and reception were both held in the Mansion House. The transition from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception went very smoothly. The DOC that was provided by the Zoo was also very nice to work with (Thanks Jackie!) The house is absolutely beautiful – and gave all my pictures a lot of grandeur
My husband (!) and I went on a golf cart tour of some picture sites around the Zoo prior to the ceremony and got some amazing photos at the 1st cage, lions and an old tree – which was a ton of fun!
And the icing on the cake? My cocktail hour was visited by Winnie the penguin and a giant Flemish rabbit! My guests and family had a fantastic time with the animals.
Elizabeth and John are a delightful couple and we were thrilled to be part of their special day!
The Mansion House at the Maryland Zoo is a spectacular venue in the heart of Baltimore City. Our guests were amazed by its beauty and elegance. In the daytime, sunlight floods through the windows, and at night, the (electric) candles on your tables are reflected in 1000 panes of glass. It's stunning. The price is reasonable, the staff is friendly, and they provide a handy list of recommended caterers, photographers, etc. P.S. The penguin was also a big hit!
The staff walks you through ever step, is there when you call, and simply helps make your big day the best day ever!
Very affordable and truly offers you a blank slate to work with. You can turn your event into whatever you want it to be.
We just had our wedding at the Maryland Zoo and it was amazing! It truly was exactly what we were hoping for when looking for a unique wedding in Baltimore. Jane and Jackie were extremely helpful and attentive throughout the planning process. They took us through all of the details, gave us complimentary tickets for an engagement shoot and coordinated all of the vendors the day of. There was nothing for us to worry about! The venue itself is beautiful. We got married at the Lakeside Pavilion and experienced perfect fall weather. We then had our reception in the Mansion House. It's a beautiful historic building with such character. The glass windows framing the porch allowed our guests to look out at the scenery in Druid Hill Park. It didn't even feel like a zoo, but a classy, sophisticated wedding with personality. At first, I was concerned that reception would take place on the porch which surrounds the offices on the first floor of the building making it not a perfect square, however there were no issues whatsoever! The flow worked out perfectly because we had different areas for each event, cocktail hour, dancing, dinner etc. They also just remodeled the bathrooms which look great. The best part of the night was the ability to have animal ambassadors at the cocktail hour! We had Winnie the Penguin, a Flemish Giant Rabbit and the Eastern Screech Owl. It was a great treat for our guests and made for fabulous pictures! Overall, it's also a great venue for wedding photography. We did all of our photos before the ceremony so we could spend as much time as possible at our reception with our guests. We had a private couples shoot with the penguin and owl. We were also carted throughout the older part of the zoo in their golf carts to take photos with some really historic exhibits that had been at the zoo since the 1800s. All in all it was an amazing experience, the best day of my life and I couldn't have picked a better venue.
This couple really enjoyed their experience with us and we really enjoyed working with them towards a wonderful wedding day! Thanks Giovanna for choosing The Maryland Zoo as your wedding venue!!!
This was a fantastic wedding venue. The location is beautiful -- both the indoor and outdoor settings -- and the staff are competent, friendly, and refreshingly sane. The planning was painless from our perspective, and our guests had an awesome time!
A few tips:
1) The Mansion House is a historic building, so they're a little particular about what you can do there: no lit candles, no confetti, and they have a lot of hoops to jump through if you want to use a caterer that they don't usually work with. However, they are very upfront about all of this -- no hidden clauses. They also have something like 11 approved caterers they work with all the time, across a range of prices, so we absolutely had no trouble finding one that we liked. (We didn't want to look at more than 11 different caterers anyway!)
2) The animal ambassadors were a huge hit. Definitely worth it!
The Zoo was the absolute best place to have our wedding reception! Most of our guests were from out of town, so we wanted to give them a true "Baltimore" experience at a place that was easily found. The Zoo was the most affordable place we looked at, easy to get to, and set in a gorgeous historic house with a unique layout. It is not your cookie-cutter wedding venue! Additionally, we had Tails the penguin at our cocktail hour -- within a week, everyone's profile pictures on facebook were of them and Tails (and even some holiday cards we recently received)! Tails' handler was great to work with as well - he knew the best poses for couples, and gently explained to us how to handle the bird without upsetting it, in addition to making our photo session fun! He also knew so many facts about penguins that we learned while taking our photos. My bridal party had fantastic photos and we were able to do so many different poses at the steps to the house, and the pictures that my husband and I got to take with our photographer around the Zoo's property (the lion cages, lion statues, hundred-year-old tree) are amazing and unique!
The staff at the Zoo were wonderful to work with, knowledgeable, and offer so much advice and information on how to best lay out and plan your day. I could not have asked for more!
I had my wedding reception here and everything was PERFECT! Jane was absolutely wonderful to work with! She was respectful, very kind, and extremely helpful in everything. The Baltimore Zoo Mansion House was a perfect venue as well! The inside of the Mansion House is gorgeous, with tons of windows overlooking the beautiful nature. We had our reception at 5pm, so we were able to watch the sun set, which was just phenomenal. The price is affordable for the size of the venue, and I felt good knowing it went to helping maintain and fund the Baltimore Zoo.
Two extras you won't find at any other venue are that firstly, you can have an animal ambassador! We had an African Penguin come and everyone had a great time taking pictures with her. Secondly, we got to go around the closed off (older and original) part of the zoo with our photographer to take pictures. Though we opted out of it, we could have taken pictures inside the first cage (a lion cage, I think?).
All in all, the venue was beautiful, everyone had an amazing time, and the staff was absolutely wonderful to work with!

Obviously I am not the only one this happened to with so many products out there that reset or recover the filemaker password. I just dont trust buying frrm these 3rd parties, as I recently scammed on some video editing software.
The problemis that, I unchecked the file >> file options "log in using" prompt on the file and closed it. Now when I open it I get asked for a password, and I honestly created this database 10 years ago.
I unchecked the "Log in Using" prompt because of an anoying networking pop up that would come up every time I opened the file, but it was late and I was nto thinking. Chrsitmas time is coming, and I need access to my mailing list, can anyone help or unlock my database for me if I email you the file.
Best Answer
Thank you for your post.
FileMaker does not reset or recover passwords to a database file.
The only exception is if your file is damaged, and ordinary "Recover" does not fix the file. In that case, we try to keep the password information intact and restore the file. The cost is $500.00 US. Since you are not receiving an error, this would not apply.

This is yet another example of why we need to have back up copies of our work. If we have another copy backed up, then in a case like this, we can simply open the back up copy and check it's password settings.
There are three way for you.
Usually, we can recover Windows admin password in two traditional ways. The first is to change Windows password with another admin account; the second is to recover the previous password with the windows password reset disk that had been created before you forgot the password. Take Windows XP for example,
1 At the Windows XP login prompt when the password is entered incorrectly click the reset button in the login failed window.
2 Insert the password reset diskette into the computer and click Next.
3 If the correct diskette Windows XP will open a window prompting for the new password you wish to use.
However, we offen ignore the important of security until we have been locked out of computer. Fortunately, there is still the last way that can unlock your computer without reinstalling - erase Windows password with Windows password recovery CD, which can recover admin password for Windows 7/XP/Vista/NT/2000/2003.... Take Windows Password Recovery Tool 3.0 for example, followings are the steps to create the reset CD
1.Download Windows Password Recovery Tool 3.0 from Official site http://.www.windowspasswordsrecovery.com
2.Decompress the Windows password Recovery Tool and note that there is an .ISO image file. Burn the image file onto an blank CD with the burner freely supported by PasswordSeeker
3.Insert the newly created CD into the locked computer and re-boot it from the CD drive.
4.After launched the CD, a window pop up with all your account names(if you have several accounts) select one of the accounts that you have forgotten its password to reset it. Just one press, this software can remove screen password instantly.
Personally, I prefer to use the third way. It is fast and safe.

I have to bring it to your attention that Windows has not provided a way to reset Windows password. However, there are tools which you can download from another computer that you can use to reset your Windows 7 password. You can try SmartKey Windows Password Recovery, Windows Password Key or Windows Password Recovery Tool. All of them are very effective password reset tools, which will reset the password for you.

I've got the exact same problem here. I too honestly designed a beautiful database it was a lot of work, then I moved it to another folder while it was open. but it got damaged, and then I repared it. Then it keeps on asking for a password. I never gave it a password. How do I recover my files? I work on a Mac... Filemaker, this gives a lot of stress....

Santa's Back
Ooh, does this look like some kinda creepy shadow to you? It does to me. But behind the darkness... Santa Claus! Or rather, Avignon Santa. I glued the black felt on by spreading tacky glue over the cross-stitching on the back and setting it right on the felt. I let it dry overnight then carefully cut around it. Yeah, that's gotta be the most complicated instructions ever....

In this study we investigated (a) to what extent physicians have experience with performing a range of end-of-life decisions (ELDs), (b) if they have no experience with performing an ELD, would they be willing to do so under certain conditions and (c) which background characteristics are associated with having experience with/or being willing to make such ELDs.
An anonymous questionnaire was sent to 16,486 physicians from specialities in which death is common: Australia, Belgium, Denmark, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland.
The response rate differed between countries (39–68%). The experience of foregoing life-sustaining treatment ranged between 37% and 86%: intensifying the alleviation of pain or other symptoms while taking into account possible hastening of death between 57% and 95%, and experience with deep sedation until death between 12% and 46%. Receiving a request for hastening death differed between 34% and 71%, and intentionally hastening death on the explicit request of a patient between 1% and 56%.
There are differences between countries in experiences with ELDs, in willingness to perform ELDs and in receiving requests for euthanasia or physician-assisted suicide. Foregoing treatment and intensifying alleviation of pain and symptoms are practiced and accepted by most physicians in all countries. Physicians with training in palliative care are more inclined to perform ELDs, as are those who attend to higher numbers of terminal patients. Thus, this seems not to be only a matter of opportunity, but also a matter of attitude.
Postponing death is not always a self-evident goal of medicine. Other goals have also to guide medical decision-making at the end of life, such as improving the quality of life of patients and their families through the prevention and relief of suffering, even if this might hasten death [1]. End-of-life decisions (ELDs) include decisions about withholding or withdrawing potentially life-prolonging treatment and about alleviation of pain or other symptoms with a possible life-shortening effect. In some countries it is also permissible to make decisions about euthanasia or physician-assisted suicide (EAS), defined as the administration, prescription or supply of drugs to end life at the patient's explicit request.
ELDs occur throughout the world, albeit at different rates for different actions [2-14]. In the first EURELD study, which presented data on 20,480 deaths in six European countries (Belgium, Denmark, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland), physicians reported that death was preceded by an ELD in 23% (for Italy) to 51% (for Switzerland) of all deaths [2]. Most frequently it concerned alleviation of pain and symptoms (19–26%) and non-treatment decisions (4–28%). The treatment most frequently forgone was nutrition or hydration and medication (62–71%) [15]. Continuous deep sedation was provided in 2.5% of all deaths in Denmark and up to 8.5% in Italy. In 35% (Italy) to 64% (Denmark and The Netherlands) of deaths a decision was made to withhold or withdraw artificial nutrition or hydration [16]. EAS varied from 1% or less in Denmark, Italy, Sweden and Switzerland, to 1.82% in Belgium and 3.40% in the Netherlands [2].
A survey among physicians in Australia in 1996 used similar questions to the EURELD study described above, although using a different method. It was found that 31% of all Australian deaths were preceded by alleviation of pain and symptoms with possible life-shortening effect. Death was preceded by foregoing treatment in 29% of cases, and administration of drugs with the explicit intention of hastening death occurred in 5.3% (see [11]).
These studies looked at the frequency of ELDs in patient deaths. Few studies have investigated how much experience physicians have with performing ELDs. Such research could not only illuminate the willingness of physicians to perform ELDs, but also possible associations between physicians' background characteristics, attitudes and experience with ELDs. For the second EURELD study, Australia joined the consortium to participate in such a survey among physicians. The purpose of the present paper is to report (a) to what extent do physicians in the seven countries have experience with performing a range of ELDs, (b) if they have no experience with performing an ELD, would they be willing to do so under certain conditions and (c) which background characteristics are associated with having experience with/or being willing to make such ELDs. The specific questions are presented in Additional file 1.

In each country, a random sample of 300 physicians was drawn from the professional registers of specialities in which physicians frequently attend to dying patients: these included anaesthesiology, general practice, geriatrics, gynaecology, internal medicine, neurology, nursing home medicine (the Netherlands only), oncology (not a separate speciality in the Netherlands), pulmonology and surgery. In Italy the sampling was drawn from hospital and general practice registers. When there were less than 300 physicians working in a speciality, all specialists were included in the sample. In Italy general practitioners were over-sampled. The number of questionnaires sent out in the end of 2002 varied from 1870 in Denmark to 3873 in Italy. In addition to background characteristics and palliative care education, physicians were asked about: their attitudes, intended behaviour and practices concerning end-of-life care; communication with terminally ill competent patients and their families; and experiences of making ELDs. The ELDs were described as neutrally and factually as possible in order to avoid differences in interpretation. EAS, for instance, were formulated as 'administering, prescribing or supplying drugs with the explicit intention of hastening the end of life on the explicit request of a patient'. The data of all countries were combined in a common database to ensure identical coding and analysis procedures. When presenting frequencies, weighting factors were used to correct for the different sampling fractions and response percentages in the different strata. Detailed inclusion criteria and methods have previously been reported [10].
For each country, the percentage of physicians who had (a) performed an ELD, (b) never performed an ELD, but would be willing to do so under certain conditions, (c) never performed an ELD and would never do so and (d) ever received an explicit request from a patient to administer, prescribe or supply drugs with the explicit intention of hastening death are presented.
Possible predictors for experiences with ELDs were analysed by multivariate and multinomial logistic regressions. Having performed an ELD versus never having performed an ELD (and willingness yes or no) was analysed using a multiple logistic regression per ELD entering sex (M, F), age (≤50, >50), palliative care training (yes, no), number of terminal patients in 12 months (≤5, >5), religion (religion (very) important, philosophy of life (very) important, religion and philosophy of life not important), attitude on right to decide to hasten death (strongly agree, agree, neutral, disagree, strongly disagree) and attitude on aiming at preserving life (strongly agree, agree, neutral, disagree, strongly disagree); these factors were controlled for country and clinical speciality. The same factors per ELD were used in order to make comparisons between ELDs possible. In addition, a multivariate logistic regression was performed in order to investigate the importance of clinical speciality on experiences with ELDs, adjusted for country. Finally, a multinomial logistic regression was used to compare the reference group of physicians with experience of EAS, with two groups of physicians who had never performed EAS: (1) physicians willing to perform EAS and (2) physicians unwilling to do so. Independent variables were: ever received an explicit request for physician-assisted death (PAD) (yes/no)
As no patients were involved in the study and that answering of the questionnaire was voluntary and anonymous, assessment by an ethics review committee was not required except in Australia where ethics approval was given by the Human Research Ethical Review Committee of the University of Queensland.
Response rates were: Australia (AU) 53% (n = 1478), Belgium (BE) 58% (n = 1750), Denmark (DE) 68% (n = 1217), Italy (IT) 39% (n = 1508), the Netherlands (NL) 61% (n = 1275), Sweden (SE) 60% (n = 1514) and Switzerland (CH) 64% (n = 1397). Altogether 10,139 questionnaires were studied.
Frequencies of experience with the different ELDs, and willingness to perform if not performed yet, are presented in Table 1. Physicians in Italy had the lowest experience of foregoing life-sustaining treatment (37% versus 72–86%) and the highest intention of not doing so (24% versus 1–6%). In all countries a majority of physicians had intensified the alleviation of pain or other symptoms while taking into account possible hastening of death. For Australia, Belgium, Denmark and the Netherlands this was a very large majority (83–95%), while the percentage was somewhat smaller in Italy (57%), Sweden (64%) and Switzerland (71%). The group of physicians who would never be willing to alleviate pain and other symptoms by increasing medication to a level that risked hastening death was largest in Italy (17% versus 1–10%). Experience with deep sedation until death was lowest in Italy (12%) and highest in the Netherlands (46%). Physicians in the Netherlands had most experience with receiving a request for hastening death (71%), followed by physicians from Belgium (40%), Switzerland (37%), Australia (36%) and Denmark (34%). Intentionally hastening death on the explicit request of a patient was most common in the Netherlands (56%). In the other countries the percentage of physicians who would never be willing to do this varied from 36% in Belgium to 84% in Sweden. In Italy this question was not asked.
Table 1. Experiences with end-of-life decisions (weighted rounded percentages). Missing observations per country: between 28 and 137 for withholding and withdrawing treatment; between 15 and 308 for intensifying treatment of pain and symptoms; between 0 and 64 for deep sedation; between 0 and 60 for receiving a request and between 65 and 330 for ending of life on request.
Different factors were important for experiences with ELDs (Table 2). Female physicians less frequently had experience with all ELDs than male physicians. Physicians aged over 50 had less experience than younger physicians with withholding or withdrawing treatment and intensifying pain or symptom medication which risked hastening death, while they had more experience with the other ELDs. Both having had training in palliative care and having attended more than five terminal patients in the last 12 months resulted in more experience with all ELDs. Religion being important for one's professional attitude was associated negatively with intensifying pain or symptom medication and hastening death on a patient's request. A non-religious philosophy being important for one's professional attitudes had the opposite effect. Being of the opinion that every person has a right to decide to hasten death was positively associated with experience with all ELDs except withholding or withdrawing treatment. Being of the opinion that physicians should always aim at preserving life was negatively associated with experience with all ELDs and most strongly with intentionally hastening death (odds ratio (OR) = 0.44) and withholding or withdrawing treatment (OR = 0.55).
Table 2. Importance of various factors on experience with ELDs (n = 6587, ORs). Multivariate logistic regression; adjusted for country and clinical specialty.
Compared with general practitioners, gynaecologists, neurologists and surgeons seemed to have the lowest experience of most ELDs. Geriatricians (OR = 3.1), physicians in internal medicine (OR = 2.0), anaesthesiologists (OR = 1.9) and oncologists (OR = 1.4) had more experience with foregoing treatment than general practitioners. Oncologists and pulmonologists had more experience than general practitioners with all ELDs except hastening death on the explicit request of a patient. (Table 3).
Table 3. Importance of clinical specialty on experience with end-of-life care (n = 6587, ORs). Multivariate logistic regression (reference group: general practitioners); adjusted for country.
Table 4 shows the results of a multinomial logistic regression aimed at identifying factors associated with (n)ever having hastened death among three groups: physicians who have performed this ELD, physicians who never did but would be willing to do so under certain conditions and physicians who never did and would never do so. Compared with physicians who had hastened death, physicians who would never do so were less likely to be over 50 years of age, to have had palliative care training, to have attended to more than five terminal patients in the last year, to have a non-religious philosophy of life and were also less likely to think that a person should have the right to decide whether or not to hasten their death; they were more likely to be female, to think that physicians always should aim at preserving the lives of their patient, that sufficient availability of high-quality palliative care prevents almost all requests for euthanasia, that permitting hastening death on the explicit request of a patient will lead to hastening death without a request and will harm the relationship between patients and physicians. Looking at the physicians who never hastened death on the request of a patient but would be willing to do so under certain conditions shows a similar pattern, albeit that the associations are less strong.
Table 4. Comparison of importance of various factors for never performed EAS, but being willing to do so under certain conditions and never performed EAS, and not willing to ever do so (n = 6348, ORs). Multinomial logistic regression; reference group 'ever performed EAS'; adjusted for country and clinical specialty.
There are differences between physicians in the countries under study regarding experiences with ELDs, willingness to perform ELDs and frequency with which requests for EAS are received. In general, physicians in Italy have least experience with these issues, followed at some distance by Sweden, while physicians in the Netherlands have the most experience. Foregoing treatment and alleviation of pain and symptoms by intensifying medication to a level, which risks hastening death are accepted by physicians in all countries, since only a small minority have never performed them and would never do so. These are also the ELDs that were found to occur most frequently in the first EURELD (death certificate) study.
The main strength of this study was that the same methodology was used in all countries, which made it possible to compare countries. We are not aware of any other international surveys on this subject. A limitation of this study is that it was retrospective, which may have resulted in recall bias.
A number of the authors currently work or research in end-of-life areas. Our experience suggests that since physicians sent in this questionnaire in 2003, the question arises whether there are reasons to believe that physicians' practices have changed since then. In the Netherlands, ELDs have been studied extensively since then [17]. It showed that the practice of ELDs remained stable over the years, with the exception of euthanasia, which occurred less frequently in 2005 compared with 2001. In Belgium things may have changed, as the euthanasia law is only now in full effect. Recent data obtained by another method than the death certificate method suggest that there is more euthanasia in Flanders than before, 1.6% in 2005–2006 instead of 0.3%. There is also a rise in the total number of potentially life-shortening ELDs, from 38% to 50% [18]. The general increase may of course be reflected in physicians' experiences with ELDs.
Although reasons for the differences between countries can only be speculative, in the Netherlands the reason that physicians have more experience with ELDs may be a more liberal tradition and higher respect for patient autonomy. A religious influence is not evident, as Belgium, with a substantial Catholic population, has the second highest experience with ELD, and Sweden, which is a Protestant country, has the lowest together with Italy, a Catholic country. Denmark, which also has a Protestant population, is closest to Belgium. The results do indicate that a non-religious philosophy of life seems to increase the willingness to perform EAS, possibly out of respect for patient autonomy. Cohen et al [19] have studied life-stance and general attitudes towards ELDs in more detail. They found that teachings of religious bodies indeed have an influence on end-of-life decision-making, but are certainly not blankly accepted by physicians. The influence of doctrinal teachings is somewhat clearer on general attitudes towards end-of-life decision-making. It can perhaps be explained by the fact that most people embrace (theistic) belief not in strict metaphysical terms, but in non-imperative ways, allowing for adaptation to particular situations, for instance to the needs and wishes of the dying and to considerations of humaneness.
Physicians can only perform EAS when a patient requests it. Physicians in all countries receive euthanasia requests, most often in the Netherlands, where physicians also have most experience with performing EAS.
The results show that physicians with training in palliative care are more inclined to make ELDs. While this may be expected for some of the ELDs, it is somewhat surprising for EAS. One hypothesis may be that palliative care physicians develop a higher attention to patients' wishes. Further research is needed to clarify and explain this finding.
Furthermore, the findings indicate that the legislation and medical guidelines are reflected in physicians' experiences. In all countries, physicians had the highest experiences of non-treatment decisions and alleviation of pain and other symptoms with possible life-shortening effect: kinds of ELDs, which are legal in all participating countries. The fact that experiences of continuous deep sedation, which is legal in all countries, is relatively low, demonstrates that this ELD is more strongly influenced by situational factors such as uncontrollable pain and symptoms than by legal regulations. The different legal regulations concerning EAS are also reflected in physicians' experiences. Shortly before this study was performed, the Netherlands and Belgium changed their legislation, in 2001 and 2002, and now permit EAS under certain conditions. In the Netherlands EAS are regulated as two possible end-of-life options. In Belgium the law only regulates euthanasia. In both countries the patient involved must be a mentally competent adult when requesting help. Doctors can only proceed when they know the patient well enough to be able to assess whether their request for euthanasia is voluntary and well-considered, whether the patients' medical situation is without prospect of improvement and whether the individual's suffering is unbearable. The ability to refuse a request for euthanasia guarantees a doctor's freedom of conscience in both countries [20]. Whether this has influenced experiences and attitudes remains to be studied in Belgium. For the Netherlands, the evaluation of the euthanasia law showed that the incidence of EAS decreased from 2.8% in 2001 to 1.8% in 2005 (see [17]).
In Switzerland, assistance in suicide is allowed provided that the person seeking assistance has decisional capacity and the person assisting is not motivated by reasons of self-interest; euthanasia is forbidden in all circumstances. Experiences with ELDs can be associated with two types of factors. One is the opportunity the physician has for making ELDs. The second is the attitude of the physician towards questions about philosophy of life, e.g. whether people have a right to decide to hasten the end of life and whether physicians should always aim at preserving life. Older physicians may have been practising medicine longer and thereby have an increased chance of ever having performed an ELD. Further, the number of terminal patients attended to by the physician within a given time period varies from one speciality to another. However, since having had palliative care training is positively associated with having experience with all ELDs, independent of the number of terminal patients under the physician's care, this factor probably reflects an attitude. Female physicians have less experience with ELDs, which does not seem to be related to opportunity and attitude. A similar finding comes from Italy, where male anaesthesiologists had greater experience with foregoing treatment [21]. However, the reason is not obvious and ought to be studied in the future.
In conclusion, there are differences between countries in experiences with ELDs, in willingness to perform ELDs and in receiving requests for EAS. Foregoing treatment and intensifying alleviation of pain and symptoms are practiced and accepted by most physicians in all countries. Physicians with training in palliative care are more inclined to perform ELDs, as are those who attend to higher numbers of terminal patients. Thus, this seems not to be only a matter of opportunity, but also a matter of attitude.

Blog and Press
Picture the Homeless always tries to get our message out into the mainstream media – that's what shapes public opinion, after all, and public opinion shapes public policy, so if we want to have a positive impact on policies around homelessness and housing and policing we need to change the narrative around these issues.
But we can't rely on the mainstream media to tell the whole story, and to tell it accurately. When it comes to homelessness, even the most supposedly-liberal news outlets just use bigger words to say the same things as the tabloids. That's why our blog is so essential – because it gives homeless people a voice and a space to challenge the lies and the misrepresentations.
Here's where you can come for all the latest news on our work, in the news and on our blog, including responses to current events and analyses of new policies directly from people experiencing homelessness.

The C/EBP transcription factor, Slbo, is required for migration of border cells during Drosophila oogenesis. Unexpectedly, we find that neither increase nor decrease of Slbo activity is tolerated in border cells. Correct protein level is in part ensured by cell type-specific regulated turnover of Slbo protein. Through genetic screening, we identify two genes that are involved in this regulation. The Ubp64 ubiquitin hydrolase acts as a stabilizer of Slbo protein. A novel gene, tribbles, is a negative regulator of slbo in vivo. Tribbles acts by specifically targeting Slbo for rapid degradation via ubiquitination.

"The accumulated data for CYT387 clearly indicates that this compound has an excellent potency and safety profile for the treatment of patients with MPDs. We are aggressively progressing this compound through formal preclinical studies with the aim of beginning clinical trials by the end of this year," said Mr. Andrew Macdonald, CEO of Cytopia.
About JAK2
The discovery of a specific single activating mutation in the JAK2 enzyme in MPDs in 2005 has focused attention on developing a therapy for these diseases through selective inhibition of JAK2. To successfully address these chronic diseases with a JAK2 inhibitor, the specificity and resultant tolerability profile is a key element of the product profile required for a "best in class" inhibitor.
CYT387 is a specific JAK2 inhibitor with excellent potential for safe and efficacious chronic human dosing. It has been derived from Cytopia's knowledge of basic biology of JAK kinases, a strong structural biology program that has delivered multiple co-crystal structures of JAK2 complexed with inhibitors, and the subsequent development of an extensive chemical library of JAK2 inhibitors through an integrated computational and medicinal chemistry platform.
Cytopia is developing a suite of JAK2 inhibitors for multiple indications including the treatment of certain cancers, particularly lymphomas and solid tumors where JAK2 has been shown to be up-regulated, and for cardiovascular diseases such as pulmonary hypertension.

Our Team
California Closets has been serving the Atlanta area since 1985. Our experienced team puts customer satisfaction as their top priority. We strive to exceed your expectations with a superior product, innovative design, expert installations and exceptional customer service.
We're also involved in the community, having donated materials, design services and closet installations to worthy groups such as Ronald McDonald House, Habitat for Humanity, "Extreme Home Makeover", Hi-Hope, and Happy Tails Pet Therapy.
Meet the California Closets Atlanta team:
Julie Shimer, Sales Manager
I bet you didn't know that a simple closet could absolutely change your daily life? Well I happen to know that walking into a well thought out, organized and yet beautiful space can make such a difference in your life!
Calais McGuinness, Director of Business Development
I love what I do! I grew up in Sandy Springs, Ga as the daughter of a custom builder and a retail fashion professional. Design, function and style were as much a part of my upbringing as table manners and Southern Hospitality. What I love most about being a part of the California Closets team is the wide variety of options available to me and my clients that allow us to come to the perfect solution for whatever space we are designing together.
Alicia Barney, Design Consultant
While pursing a Fashion Marketing degree, I began my design career as an intern for California Closets. I've been inspired by the options and design the California Closets brand has to offer and the solutions they provide. My love for fashion and design combined with California Closets has provided all of the essential tools for creating the closets of your dreams. I truly enjoy meeting new people and helping others create beautiful interior spaces.
Astrid Vose, Design Consultant
I grew up the daughter of a mechanical engineer and inherited an engineering mind. I have always been a fanatic about being organized and love projects, figuring out the solution and the satisfaction of completion. It could be a simple as organizing a drawer, earranging furniture, or tiling a kitchen, no project is intimidating for me and if I do not know how to do it, I will figure it out on my own. All my life, my friends and neighbors always call me for help with their projects.
Carmin Francisco , Design Consultant
Organization has always been a part of my life. When I was a child, I could spend many hours rearranging my Barbie's clothing or helping my mom to stack the Tupperware containers in a better way. I even enjoy cleaning out the garage. While my college career did not prepare me for the custom storage industry, it did show me the importance of personalizing my designs for each client.
Eric Bubniak, Design Consultant
I have loved helping others achieve organization in their lives during my 17 years with the Atlanta franchise. Obviously, I really do enjoy what I do. I love taking cluttered areas of the home and creating and transforming them into organized places where the clients are not ashamed to show their guests. One of my clients held a "wine party" to show off her new California Closet.Every day brings something different: I meet new people and see new challenges. I am able to visit some of the most beautiful homes in Georgia.
Eunika Branicz, Design Consultant
I love to design storage solutions, it's like putting puzzles together. My clients have things they want to fit in a space, and I get to put all those pieces together, while finding the right spot for everything. Everyone is different and has different needs. We specialize in learning about our clients to provide a personalized solution for them. That's what makes my job a fun and rewarding experience.
Kathy Delaney, Design Consultant
When I began my career with California Closets over 14 years ago, I'd already had two wonderful corporate careers and never imagined that this would turn out to be my "dream job".Every consultation is a new adventure! Each time I meet with my first client of the day the challenge begins, as I listen to the wishes and needs of people, exchange ideas, then work to create a combination of California Closets product and my design, hoping to achieve their ideal solution.
Katie Gerst, Design Consultant
I cannot express the incredible joy I feel when I hear a client say "I am so excited to get my closet done" or "I can't wait for my friends to see this!" I know it's just a closet, and there are bigger issues in this world, but for my clients, what I've designed has solved a problem for them, and that's what I've always been - a problem solver, and I couldn't be happier than when I'm making someone else's life better!
Kimberly Evans, Design Consultant
Creating spaces that offer functionality, as well as innovative design concepts is something that I'm extremely passionate about. I'm committed to working closely with each customer to create an original, unique design that is customized specifically for their needs. My clients are important to me, and my end goal is to offer the highest level product, design, and customer service that this industry has to offer. Repeat and referral business is the best compliment anyone could give me. That tells me that I'm doing something right.
Lynn Kercher, Design Consultant
As a fashion merchandise major, I have a great appreciation for wardrobes and accessories. If the perfect pair of shoes is lost under a pile of clothes in the corner of a closet, you can't put your best foot forward.That is what makes California Closets so great; regardless if it is a spice in your pantry or a file in your office, everything has a place. Not only is it more functional but more aesthetically pleasing.
Michelle Kern, Design Consultant
Form and function can absolutely be combined to achieve solutions to tough spaces in the home! My extensive background in Art and Design allow me to create closets and spaces that can have the functionality of precisely measured and calculated closet systems along with a very aesthetically pleasing look.
Randy Sparks, Design Consultant
For almost 25 years I have owned and operated customer solutions based businesses. Through this experience, I understand the importance of providing great customer service. I take great pride in helping people solve their problems. What I love about California Closets is the opportunity to do just that – help customers solve their home organization challenges with the highest quality materials found in the industry. I begin by listening to the customer and understanding their specific needs.
Scott Kelley, Design Consultant
In 1995, I began my career with California Closets in the installation department where I started to build my product knowledge. After two years, I was promoted to installation manager. In 2000, I began to design.I wanted to design because as an installer I witnessed the positive reactions people had to our product and service. I knew the product well and with my background as a carpenter felt I could design efficient and ascetically pleasing closet systems.
Vanessa Aranegui, Design Consultant
I am so excited to be part of California Closets. I love being able to work side-by-side with my clients to create designs that perfectly suit their needs, wants, and uniqueness. I pride myself on honesty and integrity. I simply want to find the best solution for you. I'm a creative type, so it's so great to have a job that allows me the opportunities to... well... create! Each project is like a puzzle that I get to solve. Working as a California Closets Design Consultant just feels good.

The Grain Offering
1"When anyone presents a grain offering #Ex 40:29 as a gift to the Lord, his gift must consist of fine flour. # = wheat flour; Ex 29:2 #Gn 18:6Ex 29:2Lv 2:1-7 He is to pour olive oil #Gn 28:18|NoBook| 35:14 on it, put frankincense on it, # DSS, Sam, LXX add it is a grain offering #Ex 30:34 2and bring it to Aaron's sons the priests. The priest will take a handful of fine flour and oil from it, along with all its frankincense, and will burn this memorial portion #Lv 2:9|NoBook| 5:12|NoBook| 6:8|NoBook| 24:7Nm 5:26Ac 10:4 of it on the altar, a fire offering of a pleasing aroma to the Lord. 3But the rest of the grain offering will belong to Aaron and his sons; it is the holiest part #Lv 14:13 of the fire offerings to the Lord.
4"When you present a grain offering baked in an oven, it must be made of fine flour, either unleavened cakes #Ex 29:2 mixed with oil or unleavened wafers #Ex 29:2Lv 7:12|NoBook| 8:26Nm 6:151Ch 23:29 coated with oil. 5If your gift is a grain offering prepared on a griddle, #Lv 6:14|NoBook| 7:91Ch 23:29Ezk 4:3 it must be unleavened bread #Ex 12:8Mt 16:61Co 5:6-8 made of fine flour mixed with oil. 6Break it into pieces and pour oil on it; it is a grain offering. 7If your gift is a grain offering prepared in a pan, #Lv 7:9 it must be made of fine flour with oil. 8When you bring # DSS, LXX read When he brings to the Lord the grain offering made in any of these ways, it is to be presented to the priest, and he will take it to the altar. 9The priest will remove the memorial portion # Lit portion of it from the grain offering and burn it on the altar, a fire offering of a pleasing aroma to the Lord. 10But the rest of the grain offering will belong to Aaron and his sons; #Lv 7:9-10 it is the holiest part of the fire offerings to the Lord.
11"No grain offering that you present to the Lord is to be made with yeast, for you are not to burn # Some Hb mss, Sam, LXX, Tg read present any yeast #Ex 12:14 or honey #Jdg 14:8 as a fire offering to the Lord. 12You may present them to the Lord as an offering of firstfruits, #Gn 49:3Ex 23:16 but they are not to be offered on the altar as a pleasing aroma. 13You are to season each of your grain offerings with salt; you must not omit from your grain offering the salt of the covenant #Ex 19:5Nm 18:192Ch 13:5 with your God. You are to present salt # Salt, used as a preservative, is a symbol of the permanence of the covenant. with each of your offerings.
14"If you present a grain offering of firstfruits to the Lord, you must present fresh heads of grain, crushed kernels, roasted on the fire, for your grain offering of firstfruits. 15You are to put oil and frankincense on it; it is a grain offering. 16The priest will then burn some of its crushed kernels and oil with all its frankincense as a fire offering to the Lord.

'FBI treats US activists as terrorists'
Thu Jun 7, 2012 7:14AM
Now, this is not something that just sprang up in reaction to the Occupy movement, but this is the product of the evolution of the American state over its life time - born in genocide, built by slavery, nourished by Jim Crow and union busting and war.So the fact that it has now run out of enemies because it's either vanquished or came to a draw with its enemies around the world turning inside on itself, it's inevitable that this would happen, people have been saying it must happen since Karl Marx wrote about these things, since Lenin spoke about them and since a million other people spoke about these things. Capital requires more and more intensive exploitation of labor, in order to do that, you're going to come up against deeper and deeper resistance and so you need a stronger and stronger state apparatus both in terms of external policy and internal policy in order to sustain it, even when it becomes unsustainable. Press TV: First amendments being jeopardized… isn't now that this has happened, hasn't the first amendment been already jeopardized? De Bar: I would say that the first amendment has been legislated out of existence by both the Bush administration and the Obama administration. And the level of arrogance is so great that even in the face of a court order as took place last week in the southern district of New York where in the Christopher Hedges case the NDAO was supposed to be enjoined from being applied to Americans… the government came back and filed a brief last week saying in our opinion the judge does not have the power to enjoin us from applying this to anyone, but the people involved in this case alone. And so even though the court said that this violation of human rights is illegal, we believe - and this is what the Obama administration argued in court… 'We believe that instead, we can do it to anyone else that hasn't sued yet'. That's how arrogant they are. SC/JR

In this paper we describe the provenance system built into the distributed Martlet middleware. Due to both the need for scientific reproducibility, and to determine exactly what has happened with any given piece of analysis, it is necessary for this middleware to record detailed and structured provenance data in an easily query-able form. This is achieved through the use of integer clocks and directed graphs. Using these, this system is capable of keeping a complete history of the creation of all data, including the ability to store in-depth information defined by the task about the operations performed. This allows the system to continue to gather provenance data regardless of the rough grained functions being wrapped by the middleware. The middleware was developed to support functions described in "Martlet", a workflow language developed to address the problem of how to analyse the data generated by the climateprediction.net experiment. This data is both highly distributed, and resides in a dynamic environment where the partitioning of data structures across the distributed nodes may change both in the number of pieces and their locations, and resources may come and go. This makes it necessary for the structure of the workflows to change from execution to execution. As such the provenance system is also required to be able to handle such a dynamic environment.

RE: Cycling in Siem Reap
We hired some bikes from our guest house, When you get to siem riep you will have no problems hiring bikes, just ask your hotel/Guesthouse for a recommendation and they will find you a bike easily, just remember to chain it up when you go exploring.
No problems with saftey in Siem Riep (or at least we had no problems), is the ride easy? depends how fit you are. It is not very hilly, however you will have to ride at least 20 to 30km per day, even more if you want to see all the temples.

Adrian is 13 months and is still 100% on the bottle. I try to feed him infant cereal, jar baby food, table food; anything safe to give a baby I have tried it. He only wants to drink milk, no food, no water, no juice, no cookies. NOTHING other than MILK..ĀHe has 6 teeth and 4 more are growing in. He holds his mouth as tight as possible. He will do anything to avoid the food. I am able to sneak a spoonful in and he will swallow. He sometimes spits it out but not so much. Trying to hold his mouth or head etc will surely fail. After gettingĀ 2-3 spoonfulls in, he will start to cry etc. He will lick his lips and get some food. I don't think it's a matter of taste. If food is in his mouth, he will work it around, so I think his jaw is working. He will bite the infant cookie and then will let the piece fall out of his mouth. It seems like biting is fun, not that he knows the cookie is meant to stay in the mouth. Honestly I feel like, no matter what it is, he just doesn't want to eat. He understands that the bottle is food and that's it. He will put a sippy cup to his mouth but he'll just start playing with it. I will also state that he had breast milk until it dried up and now he drink Enfamil.
He was briefly evaulated and it's not a swallowing or muscle tone issue. I am waiting on a callĀto see what Early Intervention theraphy will do for him.
Is there a parent out there who has experienced a baby not wanting to eat anything? If so, can you please tell me your story and what you did/ are doing to combat this?
Did you continue to use formula, even though it's suggested to stop at 1?
Does whole milk alone have enough to substain a baby?
How long can the baby stay on a liquid diet?
Honestly, I'm feeling defeated. I feel like he will be 5 years old asking me for a bottle.
Well, thanks for reading. Please reply or even message me. I live in NYC. I am very open to any suggestions and advice.
Thank you and take care.
