The world is changing — and becoming more challenging for growth investors. Economic and geopolitical uncertainty are likely to weigh on corporate earnings and, ultimately, equity prices.
What worked in the past may not work going forward given today's challenges. We can help adapt your growth strategy to address these challenges:
In a low return world, outperforming the market becomes even more critical. Investors can no longer rely on broad market returns.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only. One cannot invest directly in an index.
Look to our high-conviction strategies that seek to outperform their benchmarks through diverse markets:
The last decade suggests investors are expanding their diversifications into equity categories, the result being greater risk exposure.

Universe of funds is represented by the Morningstar Broad Equity Category distinct share class only. Same Risk is defined by funds and ETFs with a 10-year standard deviation between 14.72 and 14.76. Higher Risk is a 10-year standard deviation of 14.77 or higher. Lower Risk is a 10-year standard deviation of 14.71 or lower.
Investors may need to allocate across unconstrained and low volatility strategies to help manage volatility and provide better diversification:
Diverging economies and monetary policies are creating risks and opportunities for global investors. But you need to be selective in where you take your risk when searching for higher returns.
Global stock valuation percentile relative to historic norms
Source: Thomson Reuters, BlackRock Investment Institute, as of December 2015. Note: The percentile bars show valuations of assets as of 12/31/15 versus their historical ranges. For example, U.S. equities are currently in the 74th percentile. This means U.S. equities trade at a valuation equal to or greater than 74% of their history. The dots show where valuations were a year ago. Equity valuations are based on MSCI indexes and are an average of percentile ranks versus available history of earnings yield, trend real earnings, dividend yield, price to book, price to cash flow and 12-month forward earnings yield. Historical ranges extend back anywhere from 1969 (developed equities) to 2004 (EM$ debt).
While U.S. stocks may offer the potential for attractive long-term returns, you should be more selective about domestic exposures and consider attractively valued international equities:

|4 Ounce
|Orange juice
|Finely grated orange rind
|Curacao/Grand marnier / other orange liqueur

There are albums that grow on you, there are albums that require repeated listenings to fully reveal themselves to you, and then there are albums you find yourself needing to listen to every day because the songs sink into your skin and make you feel like you've known them forever. 20,000 Streets Under The Sky by Marah is one of the latter.
Once upon a time, artists could grow and experiment and fall down and get back up and their audience would just go along for the ride, getting on or off as their needs or patience or outlook changed. Unfortunately, Marah was originally embraced by one of the most unforgiving bodies of fans on the planet, the alt.country crowd; put a banjo on a record album and you're expected to follow the same identical path forever – departure from the narrow pathway is viewed as nothing less than betrayal.
Marah took a hit with their sophomore label release, Float Away With The Friday Night Gods, which was, admittedly, a drastic departure in sound and production from Kids In Philly, the album that brought them to everyone's attention (and deservedly so). When Float Away not only didn't attract a new audience, but also alienated the old crowd, the band took a step back, regrouped, and holed up in their South Philly rehearsal space to put together 20,000 Streets Under The Sky. To call it a "comeback" record would be doing it a grave injustice, as it is a powerful piece of work, period, that any band would be proud to release.
As one of the few bands remaining on the planet with any sense of place, "East" is a yearning ode to the City of Brotherly Love. "Freedom Park," complete with girl doo-wop trio the Shalitas shimmy-shimmy-coco-bopping in the background, brings us into downtown Philly proper. "Feather Boa" is another streetscene, while "Sure Thing" is a love song, right and proper. "Soda," "Pizzeria" and "Body" form an urban trilogy that read like headlines out of any newspaper in any city – even though "Soda" would be a better short story than song. To an objective listener, it's not a perfect album, but perfection in rock and roll is highly overrated – give me emotion and feel over some idealized notion of musical perfection any day. There's an earnestness to this band that turns a lot of people off, but is probably their most redeeming quality.
The production veers from lush and layered to sheer sonic reduction, rocking out. Philly soul and country funk, rock and pop, and yes, even a banjo reappears (notably in the bouncy, rollicking "Pigeon Heart"). The biggest problem (if you can call it that) is that Marah has become such a live powerhouse that their albums will probably never do them justice; on the other hand, one could say that the live show will never showcase the music adequately, as the studio allows the band to develop the songs larger and further than they could manage onstage. On the other hand, they're a band that can take a song and strip it down to nuts and bolts onstage, completely transforming it. In any event, 20,000 Streets is more than a step in the right direction, it's a stake in the ground that will hopefully move Marah onward and upward toward the attention and the audience they richly deserve.Powered by Sidelines

Police in Saanich and Victoria are warning young women to be extra vigilant following a rash of indecent acts possibly perpetrated by the same man across the city.
Twelve separate incidents have taken place in various locations across the Capital Regional District between Dec. 3, 2015 and Jan.19.
Police are looking for a man described as white, approximately 40 years old, between five feet eight inches and six feet tall, medium build, with a ruddy/pock-marked complexion.
The incidents have almost all occurred at bus stops, where the suspect has either made vulgar, sexually explicit comments, or exposed himself to the victims.
The women who have suffered the indecent acts are in their mid-teens to early twenties.

One of Britain's top accountants is taking over as chairman of RSA, the FTSE-100 insurer that owns the More Than brand.
Martin Scicluna, right, who spent more than 30 years at Deloitte, rising to UK chairman, will replace long-serving John Napier at the helm of the £4bn firm in the new year after first being linked with the job last week.
"It is a privilege to be appointed as chairman of one of the world's largest international insurers," Scicluna said. "I look forward to joining the RSA team."
The 61-year old has expanded his financial services expertise since leaving Deloitte by serving on the board of bailed-out Lloyds Banking Group, owner of Scottish Widows, since 2008. He is also chairman of London property firm Great Portland Estates.
Napier, 70, will step down at the end of the year after a decade which began with a radical restructuring to save the company that threatened to sink under the weight of hefty asbestos claims. He also chaired media buying firm Aegis and Yorkshire Water owner Kelda before they were sold.
Scicluna's appointment comes days after another top insurer, Aviva, announced its new chief executive, Mark Wilson, a Kiwi who formerly ran Asian insurer AIA.
Under chief executive Simon Lee, RSA is pushing hard into overseas markets such as Canada and Scandinavia and at home pulling back from low-margin motor insurance in favour of more household and pet cover.
Mr Scicluna has served on the board of Lloyds Banking Group, owner of Scottish Widows, since 2008 but will stand down from the role.

XenServer 5: More Management, More HA
Citrix has released version 5 of its virtualization solution, XenServer, claiming to have made more than 100 improvements to the product.
The commercial software is based on the open source hypervisor Xen in Linux kernel, and supports both Intels virtualizations technology VT, and AMD-V.
Citrix presented the new Xen version as part of its product-line Citrix Delivery Center, which will integrate its virtualization products from server platform to desktop computer, and deliver a more dynamic PC performance. Also in the portfolio is Citrix Cloud Center (C3), which is aimed at the providers of cloud computing services.
The management tools of XenServer 5 are meant to give administrators an improved overview of the system territory, it allows the labeling of workloads and virtual machines similar to Web 2.0 tags, to help sort and search for costs, locations and performance criteria. Citrix promises the new installation of Xen should take no more than 10 minutes.
On the high availability features of the new version, Citrix worked together with Marathon Technologies. This means Citric customers that buy the XenServer 5 Enterprise or Platinum edition will also have auto restart abilities. Higher HA levels via Marathon's Everrun VM are also available at a surcharge.
The recommended price for the XenServer 5 is US$ 900 per server, Xen management software and a one year subscription to Citrix Advantage included. Along with the 30-day restricted evaluation version, a free Express Edition of the software is now ready for download, limited to one server but not in the view of VM's or memory support.

8162 Tasting Notes
So, got the email today about frequent steepers getting a preview of this tea with any purchase today. Since i wanted more root beer float, i asked my other half to pick some up on his way home so that i could try this for when the fall teas come out next week.
Let me remind those of you who haven't been following me for very long, that I am, in general, not a fan of David's Tea. There are some exceptions to this but i generally find them to be sort of mid level teas that are generally over priced or too sweet. I'd rather spend my money on other flavoured teas. I also pretty much have no enjoyed any of their straight teas haha. I have an open mind about David's tea though, since there have been a few that i have really enjoyed in the past. so i haven't put them on my "dismiss altogether" list :)
First off, this is a fruit tea. No caffeine. I was a little worried about the "sweet" in the name since i'm not generally a fan of teas that are overly sweet. Examining the ingredients, it looks like this is basically an apple tea with vanilla and cream flavouring…there's a little more too it than that, but those are the key flavours from the ingredient list.
Opening the package – this is SUPER sweet smelling to me, and woah, hello vanilla lol. Brewed the entire sample package and left it steeping for about 6 mins, give or take a bit. Now the aroma is more on the apple side, than the sweet vanilla side. First initial sips? mmmm apple goodness. Cider? mmmm maybe..if you made cider with sweet apple juice. it's not nearly as sweet as i thought it would be- rather it takes on the sweetness of apple juice or a golden delicious apple. This is not a tart granny smith sort of tea. I can taste the vanilla and cream – personally i think it would do without the cream flavour, but i am still enjoying this tea. If i think about fall, with the leaves changing and cooler temperatures, i can see enjoying this one quite a bit. While nothing else has appealed to me from the fall list – this is one i'll probably pick up a bit in order to have for a little. not a lot, as i think i'd get tired of this one before too long.
Since i'm at home today and didn't have enough to have a full travel mug with the last of this, i drank it today! Love this tea, and it might be the only tea that i will always dd a little sweetener to, since that REALLY makes it come alive. sans sugar, it's just not as amazing. That being said, now that this one is out of my cupboard, i miiiight just need to place a small order in september to pick this and the butterscotch one up :)
sweet potatoes and bread and..honey? Thanks for sending this one my way dexter While it's a lovely tea, I prefer the way the eldergrove blend tastes. This was one that i would have picked up, so i'm happy to be able to cross it off my list, though it IS tasty. Keep up the great work brendan! :)
I tried to have this one today but ended up largely distracted with work. Thankfully i have another packet to try again with due to Angel's generousity. Initial feelings on this one is that it's more vegetal than earthy. Overall it's was a nice tea, but i really need to pay attention next time :)
Another generous sample from Angel that i'm enjoying today in an effort to get more teas closer to sipdown category :) I wasn't sure whether i'd like this one or not, given my dislike of "rose" as a general flavour in teas. Turns out that this one is pretty tasty. The chamomile balances out the rose sufficiently for me (though maybe that's because i picked all the really big flower chunks out of my cup before brewing…) Not sure if i'd restock this one, but i am enjoying this quite a bit. It's a lovely evening tea for relaxing…
Apparently i tried this two years ago. I'm happy to say i had the same reaction now as i did then. TOO MUCH JASMINE lol Sorry folks, as a hater of jasmine, this tea is just too much for me. heh
heh yeah… jasmine has to be REALLY subtle for me to get behind it. it's like drinking potpurri otherwise for me lol

Tips for getting rid of your stuff
Decluttering is the first step to getting organized, and although most people know this, they can be stuck with holding onto items until they know it will be used by someone who needs it and will appreciate it. The larger well-known charities will take most items in good condition, but sometimes it's nice to give to a smaller charity or even to a school, library or hospital. Here are 10 tips and ideas for getting rid of your stuff that you may not have thought of Continue reading

Star moves to Canada
Well, for Star school had just began in her little town in England. Her mother and Father had been fighting and arguing alot lately,- Star atleast thought that they had patched things up, Not only for her, but for them, too.
Star knew something was up, Mom and dad NEVER fought. She went home that afternoon, Relieved and hoping. Mother was sitting on the couch, sewing, 'Well hello hunny. How was you're day?' she asked, Trying to force something down her throat. Star looked at her and said 'Fine, you'res?'. Mother didn't reply, Instead she sat down beside Star on the couch and FINALLY said 'I need to tell you something'. Star was hoping for good news 'Good or bad, Mummy?' she asked, 'I don't know HOW you'll feel about it, For me I think of it as a happy sad situation'. Star braced her self and said 'Ok... tell me' Mother looked at her and said 'me and daddy are getting a divorce, I know it seems like alot all at once, But trust me! It's for the best, I promise.'. Star didn't suspect even the CLOSEST hint that Momma and Daddy were getting a Divorce!!! Star tried to stop tears from crashing down 'ok mother, what's the happy part?'. Mother stared at her 'We're moving...' she said, Reluctantly picking Star's clothes off the floor. 'To where????', Star thought it would just be like a movement to the next door town or something like that. 'To Canada.' mother said. Star glared out the window 'What?!? I don't want to move that far! Why Canada!?! Wht not the next town over or something simpler than CANADA!'. Mother glared 'Star! This is an Argument we DON'T need at the moment! Complain about it later! I have to go get the Divorce papers! And, If you don't want to go to Canada with ME, then go to Mexico with you're FATHER!'. Star was SO upset, she didn't even speak, Not one word, She didn't want to go to Canada let along Mexico. She had seen mother was JUST as upset as she was, she didn't want to make it tougher on Mother. Star hopped on the computer and began typing, she typed 'Facts about Canada'

How 3D scanning let the Mail Rail prevail
[i][i]This article was first published in the August 2015 issue of WIRED magazine. Be the first to read WIRED's articles in print before they're posted online, and get your hands on loads of additional content by subscribing online[/i][/i]
Subterranean London's post office railway -- the historic Mail Rail -- is about to be torn down and transformed into a tourist attraction. "The air has been so still down there that stalactites have formed," says Martin Devereux, head of digital at the British Postal Museum and Archive, about his eerie visits to the long-forgotten Mail Rail. Now the facility has been scanned in 3D and preserved for posterity. Last December, a team from London 3D-scanning firm ScanLAB was let loose with a FARO Focus3D 120 laser scanner which can create high-resolution, 3D scans of complex interior spaces. The process took five days. "They've given us something really rather beautiful," Devereux comments.
The underground-railway system delivered post between sorting offices in London from 1927 until it was decommissioned in 2003. Now, the tunnels are to be redeveloped and opened to everyone, with attractions such as a Mail Rail ride. Before that can happen, extensive renovations will take place. "It's an industrial space," says Devereux. "It's not set up for the public, so it's going to be changed. We'll be putting in things like fire escapes, for example. We'll have to take some of the old structures away." Now that the scans have been made, however, Devereux hopes that they will be used to create a virtual, interactive replica of the original tracks. "We could take somebody, put an Oculus Rift on them and put them in Mail Rail in their own bedrooms."

On Teaching High School
"Hey! Hey Sir!" Some words just cut right to the cerebellum. 'Sir' is not normally one of them, but I was at the Shawville Fair, and 'sir' isn't often used in the midway. I turned, and saw before me a student from ten years previously. We chatted; he was married, had a step daughter, another one on the way. He'd apprenticed, become a mechanic. He was doing well. I was glad to see him. "So, you still teaching us assholes up at the school?" No, I was at the university. "You guys weren't assholes.". A Look. "Yes, we were.

History's First Drafts: Jon Krakauer on Campus Rape, with Brooke Gladstone Featured Event
Central Library, Dweck Center
Missoula, Montana, is a typical college town, home to a highly regarded state university whose beloved football team inspires a passionately loyal fan base. Between January 2008 and May 2012, hundreds of students reported sexual assaults to the local police. Few of the cases were properly handled by either the university or local authorities. In this, Missoula is also typical.
In his latest book, acclaimed journalist Jon Krakauer investigates a spate of campus rapes that occurred in Missoula over a four-year period. Taking the town as a case study for a crime that is sadly prevalent throughout the nation, Krakauer documents the experiences of five victims: their fear and self-doubt in the aftermath; the skepticism directed at them by police, prosecutors, and the public; their bravery in pushing forward and what it cost them. These stories cut through abstract ideological debate about acquaintance rape to demonstrate that it does not happen because women are sending mixed signals or seeking attention. They are victims of a terrible crime, deserving of fairness from our justice system. Rigorously researched, rendered in incisive prose, Missoula stands as an essential call to action.
Brooke Gladstone of On the Media will interview Mr. Krakauer.
Check out his books at a BPL branch near you.

Certain maternal infections can have serious long-term consequences for the fetus.
Rubella is a viral infection causing a pink rash, with swelling of lymph glands behind the ears and at the back of the head. There are mild constitutional symptoms and occasionally joint pain in adults.
With a rubella-like rash, test for rubella and parvovirus B19 (even if reported to be immune); test serum for IgG and IgM and repeat if results are equivocal. Rising levels suggest recent infection (consult a virologist).
Evidence of infection should be discussed with the patient with a view to considering termination.
Prevention is by measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine in the second year of life plus a pre-school booster, with antenatal screening for rubella susceptibility.
If rubella is contracted within the first 11 weeks of pregnancy there is a 90% chance of the fetus being affected. This falls to 20% during weeks 11-16. In weeks 16-20 there is a slight risk of deafness and, after that, no increased risk.
Fetal defects associated with fetal rubella syndrome include:
- Mental impairment
- Cataracts
- Deafness
- Heart defects
- Intrauterine growth restriction
- Inflammation of the brain, liver, lungs and bone marrow
Chickenpox (varicella zoster)
Chickenpox is characterised by fever, malaise and a pruritic rash that develops into crops of maculopapules, which become vesicular and crust over before healing. The incubation period is 7-21 days and the disease is infectious 48 hours before the rash appears and continues to be infectious until the vesicles crust over (usually within 5-6 days of onset of illness).[2]
More than 90% of the antenatal population are seropositive for varicella IgG antibody, so although contact with chickenpox is common in pregnancy, primary infection is uncommon. It is estimated to complicate three in every 1,000 pregnancies.[3]
Of exposure to chickenpox:
- Establish whether the mother is immune. Immunity can be assumed if there is history of chickenpox or shingles.
- If there is any doubt, request antibody levels urgently (varicella-zoster IgG antibodies).
- Liaise with local microbiology for advice and to expedite results.
- Varicella-zoster immunoglobulin (VZIG) may be indicated.
Of chickenpox in pregnancy:
- Seek specialised advice urgently about the need for counselling on the risk of fetal complications, antiviral treatment and follow-up.
- Monitor the patient closely for complications. Admit if they are systemically unwell or if they develop complications.
- In adults, chickenpox is associated with greater morbidity - pneumonia (10% of pregnant women), hepatitis and encephalitis.
- It may also cause fetal varicella syndrome (FVS), previously known as congenital varicella syndrome or varicella infection of the newborn.
Before 20 weeks of gestation
- Chickenpox in the first trimester does not increase the risk of spontaneous miscarriage.[3]
- FVS is characterised by one or more of the following:
- Skin scarring in a dermatomal distribution.
- Microphthalmia, chorioretinitis and cataracts.
- Hypoplasia of the limbs.
- Neurological abnormalities - eg, microcephaly, cortical atrophy, intellectual disability, and dysfunction of bowel and bladder sphincters.
- The risk of FVS if a mother develops chickenpox is approximately 0.2% under 13 weeks of gestation, and 2% at 13-20 weeks of gestation.[4]
20-36 weeks of gestation
- This does not appear to be associated with adverse effects in the fetus.
- It may present as shingles in the first few years of infant life.
After 36 weeks
- Up to 50% of babies are infected, and approximately 23% of these develop clinical varicella despite high titres of passively acquired maternal antibody.
- The most severe chickenpox occurs if the infant is born within seven days of onset of the mother's rash.
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common viral infection, which is usually mild or asymptomatic in healthy individuals. It may cause a febrile illness or have complications, and congenital CMV is the most common congenitally acquired infection in infants. There is no vaccination, and because it is such a common virus, the only precaution is normal good hygiene advice.
- CMV is estimated to affect 1,800 births per year in England and Wales.
- There is a 30-40% risk of intrauterine transmission, and a 20-25% risk of postnatal sequelae if the fetus has been infected. Because there is a good chance the baby will be unharmed, termination is not usually advised.
- The diagnosis can be made antenatally by amniocentesis at least seven weeks after infection and after 21 weeks of gestation. If infection is confirmed, ultrasound is performed regularly to monitor for complications.
- The effect on the fetus is more severe from a primary infection.
- Congenital CMV can be treated with some benefit with ganciclovir.
- Effects on the neonate include:
- Intrauterine growth restriction and low birth weight
- Hepatosplenomegaly
- Jaundice
- Thrombocytopenia
- Anaemia
- Petechiae and/or purpura
- Microcephaly
- Intracranial calcifications
- Choroidoretinitis
- Deafness
- Speech defects
- Mental impairment, which may appear later
- Psychomotor delay
- Visual impairment
- At birth, babies may appear normal, but hearing defects and intellectual disability may become apparent later in life.
Parvovirus B19[4]
Parvovirus B19 is common with an estimated 50-60% of adults having been infected. Infection with parvovirus B19 has a number of manifestations including:
- Minor febrile illness
- Slapped cheek disease
- Generalised rash similar to rubella
- Arthropathy
Parvovirus IgM and IgG testing should be done if there is suspicion of exposure or infection, and specialised advice sought.
- Infection in the first 20 weeks of pregnancy carries an increase of 9% in the risk of intrauterine death, and a 3% risk of hydrops fetalis. Of these, 50% die. Intrauterine transfusion reduces mortality rate.
- These events usually occur 3-5 weeks after the onset of maternal infection.
- Very rarely, permanent congenital abnormalities and anaemia have been identified. Generally the neonate is unaffected.
Measles became rare in the UK with the introduction of the MMR vaccine, but incidence has risen in recent years due to reduced vaccine uptake following adverse media coverage.
Clinical features include a disseminated maculopapular rash, coryza and conjunctivitis. Complications include pneumonia, otitis media and encephalitis.
Measles is uncommon in pregnancy, but may be associated with increased risk of maternal morbidity, intrauterine death, premature labour, and (rarely) neonatal subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE).
If exposure is suspected, and there is no history of vaccination or immunity against measles, testing of measles IgG is advised. If not detected, human normal immunoglobulin (HNIG) can be given. This may not prevent measles but it may attenuate the illness. It is not known if it protects against intrauterine death or preterm delivery.
Infection with the parasite Toxoplasma gondii, with the cat as its definitive host.
Primary infection with toxoplasmosis is often subclinical, but there may be a nonspecific illness (fatigue, headaches, muscle pains, low-grade fever), or isolated lymphadenopathy. It can be confirmed through serological testing, and presence of intrauterine spread tested by amniocentesis.
This is by a specialist. Spiramycin throughout pregnancy is used for fetal prophylaxis, with regular ultrasound examination of the fetus. Where infection is confirmed, pyrimethamine, sulfadiazine and folinic acid are used.
The greatest risk of transmission is in the third trimester, but consequences are most severe if acquired in the first trimester. There are many different forms of presentation:
- Systemic disease of the neonate:
- Rash
- Jaundice
- Thrombocytopenic purpura
- Hepatosplenomegaly
- Pneumonia
- Progressive uveitis
- Neurological disease:
- Hydrocephalus; due to stenosis of the duct of Sylvius requiring shunt
- Microcephaly
- Microphthalmia
- Retinochoroiditis
- Cerebral calcification
- Mild disease; a small area of retinochoroiditis or slight cerebral calcification without signs of brain damage.
- Subclinical.
- Relapsing; retinochoroiditis as flare-ups can occur at any age, most cases in a previously intact retina.
Pelvic infection
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) includes infections of the upper genital tract and is commonly caused by sexually transmitted infections. Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae have been identified as causative agents, but only account for a quarter of cases in the UK. Gardnerella vaginalis, anaerobes and other organisms may be involved.
PID presents with lower abdominal pain and tenderness. It may also present with dyspareunia, abnormal vaginal bleeding and/or discharge. Many cases are asymptomatic.
Pregnant women with PID should be admitted for IV antibiotics:
- None of the evidence-based antibiotic regimens are of proven safety in pregnancy. Benefit may outweigh risk.
- Ceftriaxone has not specifically been studied during pregnancy. However, the risk associated with use of cephalosporins during pregnancy is thought to be low and, although data are limited for individual agents such as ceftriaxone, the cephalosporins as a class are considered to be an appropriate choice during pregnancy.
- Doxycycline is contra-indicated beyond the 15th week of gestation because, from the 16th week of pregnancy, it causes tooth and bone discolouration and inhibits bone growth. However, it can be used in the first trimester. Inadvertent first-trimester use of tetracyclines occurs frequently and has not been associated with an increased risk of congenital malformations.
- Metronidazole has been in clinical use for a long time, and experience suggests that it is not teratogenic in humans.
- Ofloxacin has only limited pregnancy-exposure data.
- There are fewer published data on the use of azithromycin rather than erythromycin during pregnancy and breast-feeding. The limited published data do not demonstrate an increased risk of congenital malformations following exposure to azithromycin in human pregnancy.
- Current British Association for Sexual Health and HIV (BASHH) guidelines suggest following local antibiotic policy taking into account local antibiotic sensitivities, but possibly ceftriaxone plus erythromycin +/- metronidazole.
- PID is associated with an increase in preterm delivery, and maternal and fetal morbidity.
- Ophthalmia neonatorum, which is potentially sight-threatening, an also be transmitted.
Genital herpes simplex
Genital herpes simplex produces patches of small, fluid-filled vesicles that burst to form shallow, painful ulcers. Initial infection is followed by recurrences and both occur as self-limiting episodes. All cases in pregnancy should be referred to a genitourinary medicine specialist for advice.[8]
- Oral or IV aciclovir should be considered in primary infection in the first or second trimester. Daily suppression with oral aciclovir may be used from 36 weeks of gestation to reduce the chances of lesions being present at delivery.
- Where herpes simplex virus (HSV) is contracted during the third trimester, delivery by caesarean section may be advised
- In recurrent HSV infection, aciclovir may not be indicated. Delivery by caesarean section should be considered.
- The risk of adverse consequences to the fetus is significantly higher in primary HSV infection than in recurrent infection.
- Neonatal herpes is rare in the UK.
- Congenital infection in the first half of pregnancy can cause miscarriage, stillbirth or congenital abnormalities. The perinatal mortality in this group is 50%.
- There is, however, a greater risk of transmission when the infection is contracted in the second half of pregnancy. Infection may cause skin vesicles or scarring, eye lesions (chorioretinitis, microphthalmia, cataract), neurological damage (intracranial calcifications, microcephaly, seizures), intrauterine growth restriction or psychomotor impairment.
- Infection contracted in labour or postnatally may cause eye, skin or mouth lesions, HSV encephalitis, or disseminated HSV with multisystem disease.
Human immunodeficiency virus[11, 12]
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) affects T lymphocytes, macrophages and monocytes with the CD4 receptor. It attacks the immune system, usually over many years, and reduces its effectiveness until an AIDS-defining illness occurs. HIV transmission to the baby is a significant problem, especially in the developing world. All pregnant women are now screened for HIV.
Maternal transmission can occur via the following routes:
- In utero by passage of virus across the placenta
- During delivery, from blood and placental fluids
- From breast milk
Management is multidisciplinary, involving an HIV physician, obstetrician, paediatrician, and specialist midwife.
Transmission can be reduced by:
- Maternal treatment with antiretrovirals
- Appropriate management of delivery. Caesarean section may be advised, but women with low viral load may be safe to deliver vaginally.
- Avoidance of breast-feeding.
- Neonatal treatment with antiretroviral therapy from birth, followed by a series of HIV tests.
Vertically acquired HIV infection has decreased in recent years (now around 2%), and with treatment, mortality rates have also declined. HIV infection nevertheless has serious lifelong consequences.
Urinary tract infections
Asymptomatic bacteriuria is very common in pregnant women because of the altered dynamics of the urinary tract. If untreated, this frequently progresses to urinary tract infection (UTI) - either acute cystitis (1-2%) and/or pyelonephritis.[13]The symptoms of acute cystitis are the same as in non-pregnant women:
- Frequency
- Urgency
- Cloudy, smelly urine
- Dysuria
Those of acute pyelonephritis are:
- Pyrexia
- Rigors
- Flank pain
- Nausea and vomiting
- Headache
- Frequency and dysuria
- Urine should be tested by dipstick at the first antenatal visit. Confirmation if positive is with urine microscopy and culture.
- Both asymptomatic bacteriuria and symptomatic UTI should be treated with antibiotics.
- Refer to local guidelines for choice of antibiotic. This would usually be nitrofurantoin, trimethoprim, amoxicillin or cefalexin. Use a seven-day course and test for resolution one week after completion of treatment. Manufacturers recommend avoiding trimethoprim in the first trimester because of a theoretical teratogenic risk.[15]
- Admission is advised for pregnant women with pyelonephritis, due to the risk of premature labour and maternal renal complications.
UTI increases the risk of premature labour and low birth weight.

Hi, I posted this question two months ago and got a great response, and now I'm trying to see if and how opinions have changed..........
I'm producing a show on fifty or so of the best dishes in New York City. To decide which dishes to showcase, we started threads in places like this, as well as survey professional cooks, food writers, and any food lovers who would participate. It's been a couple months since we started compiling our list, so I wanted to come back and ask people on Chowhound what their current favorite dishes in New York are. Thanks for your input!

The last week I've spent at Durama Eco farm and mosaic school in Bang Phra. The volunteering I got sorted through work away which is a website for travellers to find volunteering work in return for free food and accommodation. For me this was perfect while I waited a week for Rob to come out. The school itself was super nice but I thought I was volunteering during term time but it's the summer holiday so it was a mix of kids aged 6-10 but the summer school was ...

I pass a police station and they have a weightlifting gym set up outside. The weather here is good enough to do about anything outdoors.

After hanging up our food on a light we went to bed with the screeching of families of mice above our ceiling.

Online Extra: Cooper quits as USC women's hoops coach
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Michael Cooper quit as Southern California women's basketball coach on Wednesday after his first losing season in four years.
Athletic director Pat Haden said a national search will be conducted for Cooper's replacement. Haden is also seeking a men's basketball coach to replace Kevin O'Neill, who was fired in mid-January.
The Trojans' women's team went 11-20 this season and finished seventh in the Pac-12 with a 7-11 record. Cooper was 72-57 overall at USC, which has had eight coaching changes since 1976.
"USC women's basketball has a storied heritage, with national championship teams and some of the best players in the history of the sport," Haden said. "We believe we should be competing for Pac-12 championships and NCAA bids on a consistent basis."
Cooper's most successful season was in 2010-11, when the Trojans went 24-13 for their most wins since 1993-94 and reached the WNIT title game. Their 18 road wins set a school record. They failed to reach the postseason in his other three years.
"This program has to move forward, and it should have moved forward under my leadership. The best thing is for me to step down," Cooper said. "Coaching these young women at USC has been a wonderful experience for me."
Cooper came to USC from the WNBA's Los Angeles Sparks, where he served as coach for eight seasons including back-to-back league championships. He starred with the Los Angeles Lakers as a player, winning five NBA titles.
He spent four years as a Lakers assistant and one year as a Denver assistant that included a stint as head coach.

From La Mandala
Makes 4 servings
The flavorful tomato mango marmalade can be prepared several hours in advance and reheated just as you are preparing the fish.
4 sea bass filets
2 tablespoons olive oil
For the Seasoning:
2 cardamom pods, shelled
2 whole star anise or 1/2 teaspoon anise seeds
2 cloves
1 tablespoon Szechwan peppercorns
2 tablespoons coriander seeds
1 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
For the Marmalade:
6 tablespoons butter
2 onions, finely diced
2 tablespoons minced ginger
3 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 mangos, peeled and chopped
3 medium tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
4 stalks lemongrass, lower 2 inches minced
1 quart clam juice
Garnish: fresh dill sprigs
Prepare the seasoning:
Combine seasoning ingredients and toast in a small skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes. Grind in a spice mill or with a mortar and pestle.
Prepare the marmalade:
Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and ginger and cook until onions soften, approximately 10 minutes. Add the sugar and 1/2 tablespoon of the seasonings and stir to combine. Add the rice wine vinegar and the garlic and continue cooking until the vinegar evaporates. Add the tomatoes, mangos, lemongrass and clam juice and cook over low heat for 1 hour.
Prepare the sea bass:
Season the fish with the remaining seasonings. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the sea bass until golden on bottom, approximately 5 minutes. Turn fish over and reduce the heat to medium-low and sauté until golden on the other side, approximately 4 to 5 minutes (thicker pieces will take longer to cook).
Divide the marmalade among 4 bowls and serve the sea bass on the top. Garnish with fresh dill sprigs.

Google's Schmidt Cautions Teen Mistakes Are Memorialized Forever On The Internet
Between their shutterbug parents who post everything the kids do online and committing their own often public online faux pas, regrettable utterances, and embarrassing pictures, kids can no longer keep the mistakes they made as youngsters hidden in the past, safely obscured from their adult lives.
Google's Eric Schmidt might be one of the last people you would expect to be sympathetic to the issue to the permanency of online data, but at the Telegraph Hay Festival in the UK, he said, "We have never had a generation with a full photographic, digital record of what they did... There are situations in life that it's better that they don't exist. Especially if there is stuff you did when you were a teenager. Teenagers are now in an adult world online."
He went on to say that he thinks people's online personal sharing has gone too far, giving the example of excited parents posting ultrasound images of their kids who are suddenly documented online despite having not yet been born.
He also stated that Google has a policy to erase people's search histories after one year--which is a nice measure, but if you're really that concerned about online data catching up to young people, there's far more that a company like Google can do.
In any case, Schmidt does make a great point, although there's an argument to be made that as everyone's information become more public and more permanent, there's a balancing effect, a sort of mutually assured destruction; there may be a photo of you online drunk at a party in high school, but there are now photos of everyone drunk at a party in high school (or something of equivalent scandal), including, in a few years, your boss, the HR rep interviewing you for a job, your college professor, everyone running for public office, and so on.
Unless, of course, you're a person of a certain age. Most of our embarrassing secrets are safely locked away in the memories or our family and high school and college friends instead of online. (And those people aren't talking, because they were there, too.)

PHOTS: Kill Visits ESPN l Fall Practice Schedule
Minnesota head football coach Jerry Kill visited the ESPN campus in Bristol, Conn., yesterday. Coach Kill was one of six Big Ten head coaches to visit the sprawling compound on Wednesday to promote the upcoming college football season.
Kill was at ESPN for about four hours and had a full schedule. Upon arriving, he visited with writers Brett McMurphy and Travis Haney before being interviewed live on SportsCenter by Samantha Ponder. Kill and Ponder chatted about living in Minneapolis for a few minutes before the interview took place.
After his SportsCenter interview Kill participated in a live ESPN.com chat with fans and was then interviewed by Joe Tessitore on the College Football Live set. During the interview he was joined by one of the Big Ten's newest coaches and now rival Gary Andersen of Wisconsin.
Next, Kill participated in an interview for ESPN's new college football app and then wrapped up his day by speaking with ESPN.com reporters Adam Rittenberg and Gene Wojciechowski.
While on campus coach also visited informally with the network's college football reporter Joe Schaad and senior writer Ivan Maisel.

Clearly. Let's leave it there.
I asked for abuse too, and it looks like I got that! http://www.wow-one.com/forum/topic/26766-emerald-dream-signatures-lets-create-some/page__st__20__p__202468__hl__only_777__fromsearch__1#entry202468 Well it looks like I fooled you actually. You seem to think I am here just to promote a video. If you had bothered to do your research before you opened your mouth, you'd found that i was here way back in August 2012 and was playing ED on launch day. I can even tell you who got server first 60 and the fact you didn't see me talking to that person in the video tells me that you were not around during launch. The only person around here to be fooled is you. It's a shame your too blind to see you'r only fooling yourself. http://www.wow-one.com/forum/topic/21311-do-you-want-instant-level-50-option-on-this-server/page__view__findpost__p__202810 Anyone that uses the forum correctly would see I've actually been here since before the server was even live. ---------------------------------- Calling me dumb, and an advertiser really blew up in your face didn't it. Funny how in a very short space I've pretty much turned it around and made you look very foolish. Pro Tip: Next time you think about trolling, maybe do a little research on your subject, otherwise getting publicly owned is going to keep reoccurring.
Eh? If you mean the other server I talk about in the video. Their BC server is a long way off yet, let alone their Vanilla server. So I doubt their is much to worry about there. Also I think the fact that I'm 100% honest in the reviews by sharing what I really think, and not just making a 15 minute butt licking video - I think people can see I have no loyalty to a server so my advise is neutral. Trying to pretend that Feenix is the only server and there is no competition is childish. I will review a server and compare it to others, because that's what a potential player will also do. Do I think this hurts the server I am reviewing? No. Actually the opposite. As you'll see here: (By the way, glad you liked it dude! ) So long as the server is good people will come. I'll compare the server to a different one that is offering a similar environment, because that's what the end user will also do. People like honesty, i said some nice things about ED and I didn't bullshit anyone. ED is good enough to compete, it doesn't need defending from the outside world. (Also, locked thread??!! Good luck with that: http://www.wow-one.com/forum/topic/57810-helping-people-with-the-dream/page__p__441283#entry441283 )
I had a sound hardware issue when filming this video (sorted now, using USB port of sound card = bad idea) - sorry about that, I know it's a bit shit!
7000 views later, I think I helped ED!
only_777 posted a topic in WarsongWell I'm very close to hitting 7000 views on YouTube, I'm the top search result for "Emerald Dream" on YouTube, I'd say I had success with my video! I know I pissed a few people off when I first posted it online, but I thought I'd show my face here again to accept any praise/abuse you guys want to throw at me. As a side note, I'll be back on Warsong every so often again, as I'm filming my new series of 'Vanilla VS Pandaria' videos soon. And this time I'll actually credit Feenix in each video rather than leave the server un-named! P.S I do have another private server video coming soon (I won't say the server name, but it's a popular 255 WOTLK server), and you guys think you got a bum deal, this 255 server is going to get an utter grilling because it's awful!

only_777 posted a topic in WarsongHopefully I didn't piss too many people off in this thread: http://www.wow-one.com/forum/topic/57810-helping-people-with-the-dream/ - If I did, this is me making it up to you. ENJOY!
Helping people with the dream!
only_777 replied to only_777's topic in WarsongMy point was that tanking can so easily be broken by n00b DPS in Vanilla. With so many people used to playing modern WoW where DPS just let rip and don't even know what a threat meter is, PUGs are hit and miss at best, plus coupled with time to put a PUG group together, and it can be very frustrating. As I said in the video, I think BC got the balance between knowing your role and being able to fix a DPS mistake just right.
Helping people with the dream!
only_777 posted a topic in WarsongSome of you may have spotted my Emerald Dream video on YouTube: It's a brutally honest review and I've had a few messages saying that people are going to try it out off the back of my video (like in the picture). I just thought I'd bring this up because I did have a couple of messages who were very angry when I pointed out a couple of the downfalls.
Woohoo! My promo has been made the first ever Feenix video response on YouTube! Se here on the Feenix Server video (you have to view it on the actual YouTube page): The promo I made (in the first post) is the video response! Also the first ever video response Feenix have ever issued! Thanks Feenix!
Thanks dude! Makes me hungry every time...
My Feenix Promo Video
only_777 posted a topic in Feenix VideosI think it's great here at Feenix, so much so that I've made a little promo video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARNx2RoyBeY Hope you all like it!
A message to the Feenix Attackers
only_777 posted a topic in Off-Topic DiscussionI'm guessing the people who are attacking Feenix visit this (they must to know the servers went live again), so here's a message which I think speaks for the whole community............The realms are back online and even better defended then ever. You'll never break the community, and the Feenix staff will always win in the end.
*Un-bans everyone* /evillaugh *bans everyone again* *Bans Warfocks for not playing more
Banned for having a weird Sig picture thing!
Banned because I'm pissed off I can't play on ED right now

In response to your support, the HCP would like to express our sincere gratitude for your continued involvement with this project. We greatly appreciate your support in the past and hope that you'll continue to join us in our efforts to eradicate preventable blindness.
Since 1994, a total of 68,174 sight-restoring surgeries were performed in various Remote Outreach Eye Camps (OMECs) in Nepal, India, Tibet, and Bhutan. In 2009, the HCP sponsored 7 OMECs in which 7,681 people were screened and 1347 sight restoring surgeries were performed. Between February 10th and 14th, 11 screening camps were conducted in central Nepal. As a result, 2,858 patients were examined and 581 cataract patients were selected. The following are stories from two patients:
Rajkali Dhanuka a 60-year-old woman from Bara District was very happy when she got her sight back. Before her surgery, she could only hear her grandson's voice and she felt hurt because she couldn't see him. She was very eager to see her grandson and she is now very pleased with Dr. Ruit and his team. She said " you (Dr. Ruit) are god, my house is temple and my son and grandsons are holly gods "
Mrs. Dhanamaya Pandey a 70-year-old woman from Makawanpur District used to care for local villagers' goats and buffaloes daily. Due to her sight loss, she could not continue her work and she spent her days lying in a corner in her house. She heard the notice of the eye camp on local radio and she came to check up her eye, the screening team found cataract as the cause of her sight loss and brought her to the hospital. At first she declined surgery due to fear but after counseling she finally agreed. After surgery she said "if I had rejected surgery my life would be worst, now I am happy I can see every where and every one, I can continue my daily work."
