Principal Proposed Uses
Other Proposed Uses
- Infertility
- Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
Not Recommended Uses:
The herb false unicorn is native to North America east of the Mississippi River. It is similar in appearance but unrelated to "true" unicorn, Aletris farinose .
The root is the portion used medicinally. Native Americans and subsequently European physicians believed that false unicorn stimulates the uterus, promoting menstruation. It was used for dysmennorhea (painful menstruation), amenorrhoea (absent mensturuation), and irregular menstruation, as well as infections of the female genital tract.
What Is False Unicorn Used for Today?
Some contemporary herbalists claim that false unicorn can help "balance" the female reproductive system, normalizing hormone levels and optimizing ovarian action. On this basis, they recommend it for preventing miscarriages and treating infertility , dysmennorhea , PMS , pelvic inflammatory disease, and morning sickness . However, there is no meaningful evidence to support any of these uses. (For more information on why scientific studies are essential to determine whether folk uses of an herb are valid, see Why Does This Database Rely on Double-blind Studies?)
Some herbalists support these proposed effects by referring to the presence of the hormone-like substance diosgenin in false unicorn. They claim that diosgenin either has hormonal properties, or that the body can use it to create hormones. This concept, however, is based on a widespread misconception. It is true that diosgenin is used by industrial chemists as a raw material from which to economically synthesize sex hormones. This fact has been sufficient to lead to an association in people's minds between diosgenin and hormones. However, diosgenin itself does NOT have any hormonal properties, and while chemists can convert diosgenin into female hormones, the body does not do so.
A typical dose of false unicorn is 1–2 grams three times daily, or an equivalent amount in tincture form.
Safety Issues
False unicorn has not undergone any meaningful safety evaluation. Even though it is traditionally recommended for use during pregnancy, its reputation as a uterine stimulant would seem to suggest it shouldn't be taken by pregnant women. 1
Safety in young children, nursing women, or people with severe liver or kidney disease has not been established.

How Do You Spell IAQ?
A version of this article appears in the November/December 2007 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
November 04, 2007
EPA is adding an indoor air quality segment to the already well-known Energy Star programs - the Energy Star Indoor Air Package (IAP).
Homeowners spend billions of dollars per year on "air cleaning" products, some of which actually add more pollutants to their indoor air! People buy these products because they promise to provide clean air. Few builders make this promise. Yet careful design and construction of a new home is much more likely to improve indoor air quality (IAQ) than any consumer product. Furthermore, surveys indicate that home buyers are willing to pay up to $5,000 more for homes with IAQ improvements. It's clear that consumers are concerned about IAQ and are willing to pay for it.

Other Proposed Natural Treatments
Probably Not Effective Treatments
The common virus Herpes simplex, known as simply as herpes, can cause painful blister-like lesions around the mouth and in the genitalia. Slightly different strains of herpes predominate in each of these two locations, but the infections are essentially identical. In both areas, the herpes virus has the devious habit of hiding out deep in the DNA of nerve ganglia, where it remains inactive for months or years. From time to time the virus reactivates, travels down the nerve, and starts an eruption. Common triggers include stress , dental procedures, infections, and trauma. Flare-ups usually become less severe over time.
Conventional medical treatment consists of antiviral drugs, such as Zovirax. Such medications can shorten the length and intensity of a herpes outbreak or, when taken consistently at lower dosages, reduce the frequency of flare-ups. In addition, they can reduce transmission of the disease.
Principal Proposed Natural Treatments
Several natural treatment have shown promise for treating herpes. Note, however, that while conventional treatments can reduce infectivity and thereby help prevent the spread of the disease, no natural treatment has been shown to do this. Keep in mind that common sense methods used to prevent herpes transmission are not entirely effective: many people are infectious even when they do not have obvious symptoms, and use of a condom does not entirely prevent the spread of the virus. Therefore, if you are sexually active with a noninfected partner who wishes to remain that way, we strongly recommend that you use suppressive drug therapy.
Melissa officinalis (Lemon Balm)
More commonly known in the United States as lemon balm, Melissa officinalis is widely sold in Europe as a topical cream for the treatment of genital and oral herpes.
One double-blind, placebo-controlled study followed 66 people who were just starting to develop a cold sore (oral herpes). 4 Treatment with melissa cream produced significant benefits on day 2, reducing intensity of discomfort, number of blisters, and the size of the lesion. (The researchers specifically looked at day 2 because, according to them, that is when symptoms are most pronounced.)
Another double-blind study followed 116 individuals with oral or genital herpes. 3 Participants used either melissa cream or placebo cream for up to 10 days. The results showed that use of the herb resulted in a significantly better rate of recovery than those given placebo.
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full Melissa article.
Aloe Vera
The succulent aloe plant is famous as a treatment for burns and minor wounds. However, while there is little evidence it is effective for those purposes, two studies suggest that aloe has potential value in the treatment of herpes infections.
A 2-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial enrolled 60 men with active genital herpes. 7 Participants applied aloe cream (0.5% aloe) or placebo cream 3 times daily for 5 days. Use of aloe cream reduced the time necessary for lesions to heal and also increased the percentage of individuals who were fully healed by the end of 2 weeks.
A previous double-blind, placebo-controlled study by the same author enrolling 120 men with genital herpes found that aloe cream was more effective than pure aloe gel or placebo. 8 The author theorized that the oily constituents in the cream improved aloe absorption.
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full Aloe article.
Another famous treatment for herpes involves the amino acid L-lysine. Taken regularly in sufficient doses, lysine supplements appear to reduce the number and intensity of herpes flare-ups. 9 However, a study evaluating lysine taken only at the onset of a herpes attack found no benefit. 10 (Consider using melissa for this latter purpose.)
One double-blind, placebo-controlled study followed 52 participants with a history of herpes flare-ups. 11 While receiving 3 g of L-lysine every day for 6 months, the treatment group experienced an average of 2.4 fewer herpes flare-ups than the placebo group—a significant difference. The lysine group's flare-ups were also significantly less severe and healed faster.
Another double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study on 41 subjects also found improvements in the frequency of attacks. 12 Interestingly, this study found that 1,250 mg of lysine daily worked, but 624 mg did not.
Other studies, including one that followed 65 individuals, found no benefit, but they used lower dosages of lysine. 13,14
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full Lysine article.
Zinc lozenges or nasal sprays are thought to be effective for fighting the viruses that cause colds . A recent study suggests that topical zinc may be helpful for herpes infections of the mouth and face as well. In this trial, 46 individuals with cold sores were treated with a zinc oxide cream or placebo every 2 hours until cold sores resolved. 17 The results showed that individuals using the cream experienced a reduction in severity of symptoms and a shorter time to full recovery.
Other Proposed Natural Treatments
Eleutherococcus , incorrectly called Russian or Siberian ginseng, has shown promise for the treatment of herpes. A 6-month, double-blind trial of 93 men and women with recurrent genital herpes infections found that treatment with eleutherococcus (2 g daily) reduced the frequency of infections by almost 50%. 18
A double-blind trial of 149 individuals with recurrent oral herpes compared the effectiveness of cream containing Zovirax against cream containing the herbs sage and rhubarb, and cream containing sage alone. 26 The combination of sage and rhubarb proved to be equally effective to Zovirax cream; sage by itself was less effective, if at all.
One study suggests that topical treatment with a vitamin C solution may speed healing of oral herpes outbreaks. 19 Oral vitamin C combined with bioflavonoids has also shown some promise for genital herpes. 20
The results of a small single-blind , controlled study suggests that the honeybee product propolis cream might cause attacks of genital herpes to heal faster. 21
Other herbs and supplements sometimes recommended for herpes infections, but that lack meaningful supporting evidence, include adenosine monophosphate , 28astragalus , cat's claw , elderberry , kelp , 22sandalwood , 23tea tree oil , 25 and witch hazel .
A product containing vitamins and minerals as well as the herbs paprika, rosemary , peppermint , milfoil, hawthorn , and pumpkin seed has been used in Scandinavia for many years as a treatment for various mouth-related conditions. However, a double-blind study of 50 people with recurrent oral herpes failed to find 4 months' treatment with this product more effective than placebo. 27
Similarly, a 1-year, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 50 individuals with recurrent genital herpes failed to find the herb echinacea helpful for reducing the rate of flare-ups. 24

Why you should add Malaysia to your Indie/RTW trip
- If you took the cultures of Southeast Asia and pureed them, the result would be something like Malaysia.
- Consisting of parts Chinese, Indian and indigenous cultures, Malaysia is at once a rich nation with many poor people and an interesting enigma of a travel destination.
- Malaysia is one of the world's most eclectic food paradises.
- It's almost like Malaysia is two separate countries - one full of culture and variety, one (Borneo) an outdoor lover's paradise.
- It's probably the easiest country in Southeast Asia to travel in.
Indie travel tips for Malaysia
- Malaysia doesn't have attractions so much as it has regions.
- Malaysia is so packed with things to do that that you're better off picking out what you have time for, rather than trying to see it all.
- For urban and architectural attractions, travel to capital city Kuala Lumpur and see the twin towers, buildings, and other examples of Malysia's incongruous commitment to industrialization.
- For more natural beauty, scuba dive on one of Malaysia's many islands. For more detailed recommendations, check different regions of Malasyia.
- Rent a motorbike in Penang and head southwest to explore the smaller villages of the island.
- Head to Teluk Bahang to experience Penang's tropical beauty. Hike along the coast to Monkey Beach.

Eleven researchers from 9 states spent the day meeting with staff of the Senate and House appropriations committees and their individual members of Congress to discuss the value and impact of innovative multidisciplinary research to the overall US economy and its ability to remain globally competitive in the future. The researchers strongly urged Congress to continue funding agencies that support rehabilitation research within NIH, in light of 5%-7% sequestration cuts set to take effect on March 1. In addition, the researchers informed members and their staff about the key findings of the Blue Ribbon Panel Report on Medical Rehabilitation. The researchers received positive feedback from Appropriations Committee members on the panel's recommendation to enhance the role and exposure of the National Center for Medical Rehabilitation Research (NCMRR) within NIH. Rep Rodney Alexander (R-LA), far left, with members of APTA's Section on Research. Alexander spoke at a breakfast held for the fly-in participants. Comments Thank you to each researcher pictured above and APTA staff. I also thank the many people on APTA BOD and research community for the help in sourcing our participants. It wad a wonderful team and time was well spent. We achieved our aims. If you want to go this year, planning is currently underway. Please contact me to learn more.

Like any prevalent disease, there is a lot of information surrounding breast cancer, it's treatment, and how to prevent it. Unfortunately, some of the "facts" you may have heard about breast cancer are simply not true. Learn to separate fact from fiction by recognizing these myths about breast cancer.
1.If no one in your family has had breast cancer, you won't get it.
While having a parent, sibling or child who's been diagnosed with breast cancer does double your risk, most cases (more than 75%) are diagnosed in women with no family history of the disease.
2. Only women are diagnosed with breast cancer.
Although the numbers of cases of men with breast cancer is much lower, according to the American Cancer Society, about 2,600 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in men in 2016, and 440 men will die from breast cancer. For men, the lifetime risk of getting breast cancer is about 1 in 1,000.
3.Getting mammograms can cause breast cancer to spread.
You do receive a small amount of radiation exposure when getting a mammogram, but according to the National Cancer Institute, "The benefits of mammography, however, nearly always outweigh the potential harm from the radiation exposure. Mammograms require very small doses of radiation. The risk of harm from this radiation exposure is extremely low."
4.Larger breasts mean a greater chance of getting breast cancer.
The size of your breasts doesn't contribute to cancer risk, but the density does. Breast density it typically lower in large breasts, but the only sure way to know your density is to get a mammogram.
5.Breast cancer doesn't affect younger women.
Breast cancer can affect women (and men) of any age. Women under 50, in fact, account for 25 percent of all breast cancer cases, and they tend to have higher mortality rates. This may be because younger women tend to have denser breasts, which makes spotting a lump during mammograms more difficult.
6.There's nothing you can do to lower your risk of breast cancer.
Doctors are still unclear about what causes breast cancer, but they do know there are certain factors that can greatly increase your risk. Limit your alcohol intake, don't smoke, exercise regularly and maintain a healthy weight. If you're at high risk for breast cancer, a double mastectomy can reduce the risk of a diagnosis by more than 90 percent. women

It's payoff time
Flower deliveries are a routine thing at Bouquets, but on Thursday morning, owners BJ Dyer and Guenther Vogt were on pins and needles waiting for a FedEx, UPS or U.S. Postal Service truck to pull up to their LoDo shop.
The Colorado Rockies had bested the Phillies in the division championship, making Dyer and Vogt the winners of a bet placed with the owners of Kremp Florist in Philadelphia and the local florists were eager to receive their payoff: a box filled with Pennsylvania-grown posies.
The blooms wouldn't be for their own enjoyment, though.
"The sweep by the home team put a permanent grin on my face," Dyer gloated, "and now it's time to pass on my joy to those in need."
Bouquets is putting the payoff flowers, fresh from the City of Brotherly Love, into special bouquets to accompany meals delivered by Project Angel Heart this week. Dyer is the president of the non-profit agency that annually delivers over 350,000 nutritious "meals with love" for people living with HIV/AIDS, cancer and other life-threatening illnesses in Denver and Colorado Springs.
Their wagering isn't stopping after one success.
As the Rockies celebrate their first victory (over the Arizona Diamondbacks) in the National League Championship series, Dyer and Vogt are negotiating with Ken Young of Phoenix Flower Shops, located a few miles from Chase Field.
"Ken's a confident Diamondbacks fan, so we're pushing him for a maximum ante," says Vogt. "We've proposed a myriad of possibilities, including free flowers for Rockies fans living in Phoenix."
Eight florists, members of Society of American Florists, from the cities with playoff teams all agreed to a wager on the outcome of the World Series, with the loser working for a weekend in the winner's flower shop to create a grand floral arrangement to congratulate the World Series Championship team.
Any prediction who that might be?
"We're setting up a design table in our store window so Denver fans can watch Rick Canale of Boston's Exotic Flowers design that flower bouquet for the Rockies," taunts Dyer, still smiling.
Bouquets , established in 1985, is an award-winning florist with locations in Denver, Belmar and Beaver Creek. The LoDo location at 15th and Wazee Streets is just blocks from Coors Field.

Nikiski, Alaska
|Tidbits &
|Other AK
Census Data for Nikiski ...
As far as we can tell, Nikiski has not been included in past Census counts, so there is no population information for this community.
Population Rings for Nikiski ...
To help identify the number of people who live in Nikiski and the surrounding area, we have drawn concentric rings centered on Nikiski. We counted the number of communities within each ring and summed their populations.<1> We don't have the population of Nikiski, so its people haven't been included.
Miscellaneous Information for Nikiski ...
The Federal government has assigned various identifying codes to each community, county and state. At one time or another, the US Census Bureau has used one (or more) of the following identifiers when referring to either or the community of Nikiski:
The GNIS Codes ...
The current system of identification is called the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). The following GNIS codes relate to Nikiski:
GNIS ID for Nikiski: 1416651
The FIPS Codes ...
An earlier (and largely obsolete) identification method was called the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS):
State Code: 02 (Alaska)
Place Code: 54050 (Nikiski)
State & Place Code: 02/54050 (Alaska / Nikiski)
Misc. Census Codes ...
Nikiski is located in Census Region #4 (the West Region) and Division #9 (the Pacific Division).
The US Postal Service ZIP Code ...
While some people have used a ZIP code to identify a community, the purpose of the ZIP code was to make mail delivery more efficient by grouping addresses together. Although the ZIP Code doesn't specifically identify a community like Nikiski, it does identify addresses that are in (or near) Nikiski. It's important to remember that the boundaries of a ZIP Code can be changed, re-assigned or overlapped with other ZIP Codes.
The ZIP code for Nikiski: 99635<2>
Census ZCTA Codes ...
The US Census Bureau created statistical entities that they call ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTAs) and these ZCTAs are frequently confused with the ZIP codes that come from the US Postal Service (USPS).
ZCTAs were first created for the 2000 Census and at that time, they were based upon the USPS ZIP codes. While largely covering the same areas, the boundaries of a ZCTA do not necessarily match the boundaries of a postal ZIP code with the same number. For example, while a postal ZIP code can cross a county or state line, a Census ZCTA can not. They should be treated as separate entities with no correlation between them.

It's after the election and conservatives are wasting no time with the commentary.
Veteran rocker Ted Nugent, who once told the president to "suck my machine gun," is at it again.
Expectedly displeased with the results, Nugent tweeted the night of the election that "Pimps whores & welfare brats & their soulless supporters have [sig] a president to destroy America."
Yikes. His commentary didn't end there. A series of tweets included some harsh name-calling including describing Obama as "subhuman varmint." Nugent, 63, wrapped up the night by telling those Obama supporters "u just voted for economic & spiritual suicide. Soulless fools."
Nugent has never been shy about sharing his disdain for the president, recently saying he "represents everything bad about humanity."
In April of this year, he called the Obama administration "vile," "evil" and "America-hating" at the National Rifle Association convention.
"If Barack Obama becomes the president in November again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year," said Nugent.
That remark, which Nugent claims was meant to be a "metaphor," prompted a visit from the U.S. Secret Service.

I've had a ton of people asking me different questions from my weight loss updates that I've been doing lately, and I think a lot of them would be really good to address in posts, so I'm starting with the MOST asked question by far: "
Please keep in mind: this is what has been working for ME, and MY body. It may not be what YOU would/should do. Also, remember, I'm in TOTAL weight loss mode. Once I get to a point where I want to maintain my weight, my eating will change a bit and so will my workouts, I'm sure.
That being said... let's get on with it! Today we're going to be covering JUST exercise.
I work out at the gym at LEAST 5 days a week.
EVERYDAY starts with a little over 30 minutes of interval-type aerobics at the beginning of each workout. I have been really into the treadmill lately, because I feel like it gives me the best workout, but you can do the elliptical, or any other type of aerobic workout with this same time breakdown. Basically what you're doing is spiking your heart rate every few minutes by upping your intensity for around 2 minutes at a time. I LOVE this type of aerobic workout, because it makes the time FLY and burns lots of calories!
It looks like this...
5 min warm up
2 min running
3 min fast walking
2 min running
5 min fast walking
2 min running
3 min fast walking
2 min running
5 min fast walking
2 min running
5 min cool down
I have really short legs, and Cason always teases me that I run as fast as he walks, when we're side by side on a treadmill (ha!), but just as a reference point, I walk at a speed of about a 3.6 and then run at around a 4.4 - 4.7 (depending on how hardcore I feel that day).
When I first started losing weight I was at a speed of 3.0 and 3.8 and worked out on a treadmill that was upstairs and against a wall, so nobody could see all of my "extras" bouncing around. But as I became a little more confident in my workout abilities, and started dropping some pounds... I moved to the main part of the gym, and now run right smack-in-the-middle of the free weight section. (AKA: The space where about 99.9% of guys hang out and pump iron) The REAL reason I moved over to this set of treadmills WASN'T because I wanted to be in front of guys when I worked out (oh jeesh, who WOULD?)... but because the treadmills are a TON better! I just didn't feel comfortable AT FIRST, exercising in front of so many people... but now, I could basically care less. (shrug) baby steps, baby steps.
I truly believe that adding in an intense weight training routine into my workout this time around, while losing weight, has been a HUGE factor as to why I've been able to drop inches so fast. People had told me a TRILLION times before that lifting weights was "good for you", but it wasn't until about the second month, that I realized how much it WAS actually working in my favor!
Here's what my schedule with weights worked in looks like:
Monday's - cardio + legs + sit-ups
Tuesday's - cardio + arms + sit-ups
Wednesdays - The Shellinator + sit-ups
Thursdays - 1 full hour of JUST cardio + sit-ups (mostly because you won't be able to move the day after The Shellinator)
Friday - cardio + legs + sit-ups
Saturday - cardio + arms + sit-ups
My leg and arm exercises vary, but basically if you have a gym where there are leg and arm machines, you pretty much can get a great workout, by visiting a few of them and doing 12-15 reps on each one... and then repeating that again 2 more times. For ME, I do a workout similar to the below routines.
I tend to use free weights for my arms (usually 12 or15 pounds each)
Overhead Tricep Extension
Bicep Curl
Chest Press
Shoulder Press
Front Deltoid Raise or Shoulder Rolls
You can find examples for all of these here.
Again, with these, I do 12-15 reps of each one... and then go back and do it 2 more times, to make 3 rounds total.
Seated Leg Curl
Leg Extension
Seated Hip Adduction (inner movement)
Seated Hip Abduction (outer movement)
Calf Raises
You can find examples for all of these here.
Just like the other exercises, I do 12-15 reps of each one... and then go back and do it 2 more times, to make 3 rounds total.
The Shellinator is a workout that my life coach made up for me. It's a list of high intensity exercises that gets my heart pumping and my sweat drippin' :) Just note that this routine was made for my body's capabilities, so you may think this is easy peasy, or super hard... depending on where you are on the fitness scale.
I also didn't start doing this routine, until I was about 50lbs down. To be honest, I can barely finish it now, so I'm pretty sure I'd be in a body bag somewhere if I would have attempted this 60+ pounds ago. haha!
The Shellinator:
1 arm clean and press 20 x's (each side)
Bent rows 20 x's (each side)
Twisters 100 x's
In/Out Push-ups 15 (girly ones on your knees)
Hop Squats - 20 x's
Skiers - 100 x's
Wood Choppers - 30 x's (each side)
Lunges - 15 (each leg)
Burpees - 10 x's
Hop Squats - 20 x's
Kettle bell squat and raise (swing movement) - 20 x's
...then you pass out from exhaustion.
;) jk
Okay, really though, you should be SUPER tired by the end of this. You're suppose to be doing each exercise one after another, with very little rest time in between. And because I'm freakin' crazy and want to lose ALL my weight THIS year, I actually do cardio BEFORE the Shellinator too. But you really don't need to. The Shellinator is a complete workout all on it's own, that will kick your booty :)
Like it says up above, I also do sit-ups EVERY day at the end of each work out. Here's what I do:
50 crunches
20 reverse crunches or leg lifts (for lower abs)
I do these two movements 3 times total.
WHEW! Did you get all that!? ha!
And because I love you, here is a printable of these routines too, so you can have them to reference whenever you want.
Simply click on this image, save as original (full resolution) size and print!
I realize that this kind of music isn't for everyone, but it's always nice to see what motivates others to get movin' at the gym!

Scurvy is a condition caused by an insufficient amount of vitamin C for a prolonged period of time. The condition causes weakness, impaired wound healing, anemia , and gingivitis . In children, it can cause bone loss and fractures. Scurvy is rare in the United States and occurs most commonly in malnourished older adults and chronic alcoholics.
Scurvy is typically caused by a diet lacking in fruits and vegetables or foods fortified with vitamin C.
Risk Factors
The following factors increase your chance of developing scurvy:
- A limited or poor diet, with little or no fruits and vegetables
- Little or no vitamin C in the diet
- Anorexia nervosa
- Alcoholism
- Poor dental hygiene
- Gastrointestinal diseases, such as malabsorption , inflammatory bowel disease , dyspepsia , and Whipple disease
- Chemotherapy
- A fad diet
- Self-imposed restrictive diets for weight loss or due to food allergies
Symptoms include:
- Weakness
- Paleness
- Sunken eyes
- Tender, swollen gums and/or tooth loss
- Muscular pain
- Reopening of old wounds or sores
- Loss of appetite
- Bruising easily
- Weight loss; inability to gain weight
- Diarrhea
- Increased heart rate
- Fever
- Irritability
- Aching and swelling in joints
- Shortness of breath
- Fatigue
Scurvy may be suspected during a physical exam, based on an analysis of symptoms and diet. A doctor will order a blood test to measure the level of vitamin C in the blood to confirm the diagnosis. Infants and children may have x-rays done to look for specific problems from scurvy, such as bone disease.
The treatment for scurvy is simple and effective. To eliminate symptoms and make a full recovery, begin vitamin C replacement until symptoms resolve and then take recommended amounts of vitamin C. Vitamin C levels can be increased by:
- Eating a diet rich in citrus fruits, other fruits, and vegetables
- Taking vitamin C supplements
To help reduce your chances of getting scurvy, take the following steps:
- Eat a healthy, balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables.
- Get a sufficient amount of vitamin C, through diet and/or supplements.

Principal Proposed Natural Treatments
Other Proposed Natural Treatments
Herbs and Supplements to Use Only with Caution
Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a potentially permanent side effect of drugs used to control schizophrenia and other psychoses. This late-developing (tardy, or tardive) complication consists of annoying, mostly uncontrollable movements (dyskinesias). Typical symptoms include repetitive sucking or blinking, slow twisting of the hands, or other movements of the face and limbs. TD can cause tremendous social embarrassment to particularly vulnerable individuals.
Several different theories have been proposed for the development of TD. 1 According to one, long-term treatment with antipsychotic drugs causes the brain to become overly sensitive to the neurotransmitter dopamine, resulting in abnormal movements. According to another, imbalances among different neurotransmitters can cause or aggravate symptoms. In a third theory, TD may arise in part from damage to the brain caused by free radicals generated by schizophrenia treatments. All of these theories may contain some truth.
Unfortunately, discontinuing medication that caused TD usually doesn't help, and may even worsen the dyskinesia as well as the underlying schizophrenia. 2 Drugs such as L-dopa and oxypertine may improve TD but present their own significant risk of side effects. Fortunately, newer medications for schizophrenia that are less likely to cause TD have been developed in recent years.
Principal Proposed Natural Treatments for Tardive Dyskinesia
Vitamin E
Vitamin E is an antioxidant , a substance that works to neutralize free radicals in the body. As noted above, it has been suggested that free-radicals may play a role in TD. If this is true, it makes sense that vitamin E might help prevent or treat the condition.
Between 1987 and 1998, at least five double-blind studies were published which indicated that vitamin E was beneficial in treating TD. 3,4 Although most of these studies were small and lasted only 4 to 12 weeks, one 36-week study enrolled 40 people. 5 Three small double-blind studies reported that vitamin E was not helpful. 6,7 Nonetheless, a statistical analysis of the double-blind studies done before 1999 found good evidence that vitamin E was more effective than placebo. 8 Most studies found that vitamin E worked best for TD of more recent onset. 9
However, in 1999, the picture on vitamin E changed with the publication of one more study—the largest and longest to date. 10 This double-blind study included 107 participants from nine different research sites who took 1,600 IU of vitamin E or placebo daily for at least 1 year. In contrast to most of the previous studies, this trial failed to find vitamin E effective for decreasing TD symptoms.
Why the discrepancy between this study and the earlier ones? The researchers, some of whom had worked on the earlier, positive studies of vitamin E, were at pains to develop an answer. 11,12 They proposed a number of possible explanations. One was that the earlier studies were too small or too short to be accurate, and that vitamin E really didn't help at all. Another was the most complicated: that vitamin E might help only a subgroup of people who had TD—those with milder TD symptoms of more recent onset—and that fewer of these people had participated in the latest study. They also pointed to changes in schizophrenia treatment since the last study was done, including the growing use of antipsychotic medications that do not cause TD.
The bottom line: The effectiveness of vitamin E for a given person is simply not known. Given the lack of other good treatments for TD, and the general safety of the vitamin, it may be worth discussing with your physician.
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full vitamin E article.
Other Proposed Natural Treatments for Tardive Dyskinesia
Choline and Related Substances
According to one theory, TD symptoms may be caused or aggravated by an imbalance between two neurotransmitters, dopamine and acetylcholine. The nutrient choline and several related substances— lecithin , CDP-choline, and DMAE —have been suggested as possible treatments, with the goal of increasing the amount of acetylcholine the body produces. Lecithin and CDP-choline are broken down by the body to produce choline, and choline provides one of the building blocks for acetylcholine. DMAE (2-dimethylaminoethanol, sometimes called deanol) may also increase production of acetylcholine, although this has been questioned.
Although a variety of small studies have been conducted on these substances, evidence for their effectiveness is mixed at best. Three small double-blind studies of lecithin had conflicting results: one found lecithin more helpful than placebo, 20 one found it to be barely superior, 21 and one found it no better than placebo. 22 In two small double-blind trials of choline itself, some people experienced decreased TD symptoms on choline compared to placebo but other people did not, and several people grew worse. 23,24
CDP-choline, a natural substance closely related to choline, has also been the subject of a couple of small studies with mixed results. An open study of 10 people found it helpful for TD, 25 but a tiny double-blind study did not find any evidence of benefit. 26
The substance DMAE is better studied than these other cholinergic treatments for TD—but the preponderance of evidence suggests it is not effective. Of 12 double-blind studies reviewed, only one found DMAE to be significantly effective when compared with placebo. 29 A meta-analysis of proposed treatments for TD found DMAE to be no more effective than placebo. 30
Other Natural Treatments
A 6-week double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 22 individuals with schizophrenia and TD found that melatonin at a dose of 10mg/day significantly improved TD symptoms. 44
One small pilot study suggests that vitamin B 6 may be helpful for the treatment of TD. In this 4-week, double-blind crossover trial of 15 people, treatment with vitamin B 6 significantly improved TD symptoms as compared to placebo. 31 Benefits were seen beginning at 1 week of treatment. A follow-up study tested the benefits of vitamin B 6 used over a period of 26 weeks in 50 people with tardive dyskinesia, and, once again, the supplement proved more effective than placebo. 45
Preliminary evidence suggests that BCAAs (branched-chain amino acids) might decrease TD symptoms. 32 Other proposed treatments include niacin33 and manganese . 34 but so far evidence for their effectiveness is weak at best. Two double-blind trials of evening primrose oil, which contains large amounts of the essential fatty acid GLA (gamma-linolenic acid), found that it was not significantly more effective than placebo at reducing TD. 37
The herb ginkgo biloba has also been investigated as a treatment for tardive dyskinesia. One randomized study involving 157 subjects found that ginkgo (240 mg/day for 12 weeks) was more helpful than placebo in reducing tardive dyskinesia symptoms in people with schizophrenia. 46
Prevention: High-dose Vitamins?
An informal 20-year study of more than 60,000 people treated with antipsychotic drugs plus high doses of vitamins found that only 34 of them (0.5%) developed TD. 38 This is far fewer than might be expected: the estimated rate of TD among people treated with traditional antipsychotic medications is 20 to 25%. 39 These results were based on reports from 80 psychiatrists who routinely used high-dose vitamins along with drugs to treat people with schizophrenia. Vitamins typically included vitamin C , niacin , vitamin B 6 , and vitamin E in varying dosages. However, because the study design was very informal, it is not possible to draw firm conclusions from its results.
Herbs and Supplements to Use Only with Caution
There is some concern that the amino acid phenylalanine , present in many protein-rich foods, may worsen TD. 40,41,42 In a double-blind study of 18 people with schizophrenia, those who took phenylalanine supplements had more TD symptoms than those who took placebo. 43
Other herbs and supplements may interact adversely with drugs used to treat schizophrenia . For more information, see the individual drug article in the Drug Interactions section of this database.

Lipoic acid, also known as alpha-lipoic acid, is a sulfur-containing fatty acid. It is found inside every cell of the body, where it helps generate the energy that keeps us alive and functioning. Lipoic acid is a key part of the metabolic machinery that turns glucose (blood sugar) into energy for the body's needs.
Lipoic acid is an antioxidant , which means that it neutralizes naturally occurring but harmful chemicals known as free radicals. Unlike other antioxidants, which work only in water or fatty tissues, lipoic acid is unusual in that it functions in both water and fat. 1,2 By comparison, vitamin E works only in fat and vitamin C works only in water. This gives lipoic acid an unusually broad spectrum of antioxidant action.
Antioxidants are a bit like kamikaze pilots, sacrificing themselves to knock out free radicals. One of the more interesting findings about lipoic acid is that it may help regenerate other antioxidants that have been used up. In addition, lipoic acid may be able to do the work of other antioxidants when the body is deficient in them. 3,4
It is thought that certain nerve diseases are at least partially caused by free radical damage. Thanks to its combined fat and water solubility, lipoic acid can get into all the parts of a nerve cell and potentially protect it against such damage. This is the rationale for studies on the potential benefits of lipoic acid for diabetic neuropathy.
A healthy body makes enough lipoic acid to supply its requirements; external sources are not necessary. However, several medical conditions appear to be accompanied by low levels of lipoic acid 5 —specifically diabetes , liver cirrhosis , and atherosclerosis —which suggests (but definitely does not prove) that supplementation would be helpful.
Liver and yeast contain some lipoic acid. Nonetheless, supplements are necessary to obtain therapeutic dosages.
Therapeutic Dosages
The typical dosage of oral lipoic acid for treating complications of diabetes is 100 to 200 mg 3 times daily. In studies that found benefits, several weeks of treatment were often necessary for full effects to develop.
For use as a general antioxidant, a lower dosage of 20 to 50 mg daily is commonly recommended, although there is no evidence that taking lipoic acid in this way offers any health benefit.
Therapeutic Uses
Lipoic acid has been widely used for decades in Germany to treat diabetic peripheral neuropathy . This is a condition caused by diabetes in which nerves leading to the arms and legs become damaged, resulting in numbness, pain, and other symptoms. Free radicals are hypothesized to play a role in neuropathy, and, on this basis, lipoic acid has been tried as a treatment. However, the evidence for benefit is largely limited to studies that used the intravenous form of this supplement. 6,7,8
Another set of nerves may become damaged in diabetes, as well: the autonomic nerves that control internal organs. When this occurs in the heart (cardiac autonomic neuropathy), it leads to irregularities of heart rhythm. There is some evidence that lipoic acid supplements may be helpful for this condition. 9
Preliminary and sometimes contradictory evidence suggests that lipoic acid may improve other aspects of diabetes, including blood sugar control and the development of long-term complications, such as diseases of the heart, kidneys, and small blood vessels. 10-14,28,29
Mixed evidence exists for the benefits of lipoic acid in the treatment of burning mouth syndrome (BMS) , a condition characterized by unexplained scalding sensations in the mouth. 30,37
Weak evidence hints that use of lipoic acid might help prevent migraine headaches . 36
A cream containing 5% lipoic acid has shown promise for the treatment of sun-damaged skin . 32
One animal study suggests that lipoic acid might help prevent age-related hearing loss. 15 Similarly weak evidence hints that lipoic acid might be helpful for glaucoma, 31 as well as for reducing the side effects (specifically, cardiac toxicity) of the cancer chemotherapy drug doxorubicin . 34-35 Other uses for which lipoic acid has been proposed include preventing cancer and heart disease , and treating or preventing cataracts .
What Is the Scientific Evidence for Lipoic Acid?
Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy
There is some evidence that intravenous lipoic acid can reduce symptoms of diabetic peripheral neuropathy, at least in the short term. However, the evidence for oral lipoic acid remains weak and contradictory.
For example, a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 500 people with diabetic neuropathy found that intravenous lipoic acid helped reduce symptoms over a 3-week period; however, long-term oral supplementation did not prove effective. 16
Benefits were seen with oral lipoic acid in a study published in 2006. 33 In this double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 181 people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy were given either placebo or one of three doses of lipoic acid: 600, 1,200 or 1,800 mg daily. Over the five week study period, benefits were seen in all three lipoic acid groups as compared to the placebo group.
However, while this outcome may sound promising, one feature of the results tends to reduce the faith one can put in them: the absence of a dose-related effect. Ordinarily, when a treatment is effective, higher doses produce relatively better results. When such a spectrum of outcomes is not observed, one wonders if something went wrong in the study.
Other than this one study, the positive evidence for oral lipoic acid in diabetic peripheral neuropathy is limited to open studies of minimal to no validity and double-blind trials too small to be relied upon. 19-23
There is some preliminary evidence that lipoic acid could be more effective if it is combined with gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) , another supplement used for diabetic peripheral neuropathy. 24,25
Diabetic Autonomic Neuropathy
There is better evidence for oral lipoic acid in a form of diabetic neuropathy affecting the nerves that supply the heart: autonomic neuropathy.
Not only does diabetes damage the nerves in the arms and legs, but it can also affect deep nerves that control organs such as the heart and digestive tract. The Deutsche Kardiale Autonome Neuropathie (DEKAN) study followed 73 people with diabetes who had symptoms caused by nerve damage affecting the heart. Treatment with 800 mg daily of oral lipoic acid showed statistically significant improvement compared to placebo and caused no significant side effects. 26
Burning Mouth Syndrome
Individuals with burning mouth syndrome (BMS) feel chronic scalding pain in the mouth, as if they had consumed an excessively hot drink. Although the cause of BMS is not known, the symptoms resemble those of neuropathy, and for that reason, researchers have investigated the potential benefits of lipoic acid.
In a 2-month, double-blind trial involving 60 people with BMS, use of lipoic acid significantly reduced symptoms as compared to placebo. 30 However, 3 small double-blind trials failed to find any benefit for lipoic acid. 38,39 ,40
Safety Issues
Lipoic acid appears to have no significant side effects at dosages up to 1,800 mg daily. 27
Safety for young children, women who are pregnant or nursing, or those with severe liver or kidney disease has not been established.

I don't think there's a fruit in the world that can compare, even distantly, with the luscious mango.
I am not talking about the sorry, hard, pale-yellow approximation available here in supermarkets. What I mean is the radiantly golden, deliciously juicy mango that makes an appearance in Indian markets at the beginning of summer.
There really is nothing like an Indian mango, especially the variety called the Alphonso. The bright orange flesh of that fruit, its deeply velvety texture, its sinfully decadent richness of taste is to be eaten to be believed.
This summer, when we traveled to India despite all our worries about the sweltering May heat, the fact that we could gorge on the Alphonso until we could almost eat no more– almost, but not quite–was enough to make the nasty weather bearable.
Coming to today's recipe, I love making fruit (or veggie) breads, but last Saturday I didn't have any bananas, carrots or pumpkin pulp on hand. As they say, necessity is the mother of invention, and when I saw in the pantry a tin of mango pulp that I'd picked up on my last visit to the Indian store, I had a delicious thought.
Now let me make this clear: mango pulp, even the variety that claims to be made from Alphonso, is not all that great. It is too sweet with added sugar and always tastes a little tinny. Still, it comes in handy for mango lassis and shakes, and being a bit of a mango freak, I usually keep one or two tins around.
To make a long story short, I decided to use the mango pulp to make a mango bread. I worked from my pumpkin bread recipe, modifying it as I went along. Since the pulp was much thinner than the canned pumpkin puree one would use for a pumpkin bread, and I wanted to use more of it to get an intense mango flavor, I used a little more flour, cut down on the sugar and water, and doubled the amount of pulp.
The resulting bread was surprisingly delicious, although let me be the first to admit that fresh mango puree would make it much, much better (try it, you lucky souls who live in India). The bright orange of the baked bread was also gorgeous. The two cups of mango puree gave the bread just the right mango-ey punch.
To go with my favorite fruit, I used cardamom, my favorite spice. These two are wonderful flavors both on their own and married to each other.

Vegan Mango Bread
- 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp cardamom
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 4 tbsp vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 tbsp flaxmeal
- 2 cups mango puree (I use the one found at the Indian grocery store. You can also puree fresh mangoes)
- 1/4 cup almonds (Slivered, optional)
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cardamom and salt.
- In a bowl, mix together until well blended the oil, sugar, flaxmeal, and mango,
- Add the flour to the wet mixture along with the almonds, if using, and mix well.
- Pour the batter into a standard 9X5 inch greased loaf pan and bake in a 350-degree oven around 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean, or with a few crumbs stuck to it. Please note that because no two ovens are the same, even at the same temperature, the bread might take more or less time to bake in your oven. Whatever you do, don't skip the toothpick check!
- Cool on a rack before unmolding and cutting into slices.
- Enjoy!

Multi-Touch touches are not grouped. If you touch the screen with two fingers from each hand, for example, there's no way to determine which touches belong to which hand. The touch order is also arbitrary. Although grouped touches retain the same finger order (or, more specifically, the same memory address) for the lifetime of a single touch event, from touch down through movement to release, the correspondence between touches and fingers may and likely will change the next time your user touches the screen. When you need to distinguish touches from each other, build a touch dictionary indexed by the touch objects, as shown in this recipe.
Perhaps it's a comfort to know that if you need it, the extra finger support has been built in. Unfortunately, when you are using three or more touches at a time, the screen has a pronounced tendency to lose track of one or more of those fingers. It's hard to programmatically track smooth gestures when you go beyond two finger touches. So instead of focusing on gesture interpretation, think of the Multi-Touch experience more as a series of time-limited independent interactions. You can treat each touch as a distinct item and process it independently of its fellows.
Recipe 3 adds Multi-Touch to a
UIView by setting its
multipleTouchEnabled property and tracing the lines that each finger draws. It does this by keeping track of each touch's physical address in memory but without pointing to or retaining the touch per Apple's recommendations.
This is, obviously, an oddball approach, but it has worked reliably throughout the history of the SDK. That's because each UITouch object persists at a single address throughout the touch-move-release lifecycle. Apple recommends against retaining
UITouch instances, which is why the integer values of these objects are used as keys in this recipe. By using the physical address as a key, you can distinguish each touch, even as new touches are added or old touches are removed from the screen.
Be aware that new touches can start their lifecycle via
touchesBegan:withEvent: independently of others as they move, end, or cancel. Your code should reflect that reality.
This recipe expands from Recipe 1. Each touch grows a separate Bezier path, which is painted in the view's
drawRect method. Recipe 1 essentially started a new drawing at the end of each touch cycle. That worked well for application bookkeeping but failed when it came to creating a standard drawing application, where you expect to iteratively add elements to a picture.
Recipe 3 continues adding traces into a composite picture without erasing old items. Touches collect into an ever-growing mutable array, which can be cleared on user demand. This recipe draws in-progress tracing in a slightly lighter color, to distinguish it from paths that have already been stored to the drawing's stroke array.
Recipe 3: Accumulating User Tracings for a Composite Drawing
@interface TouchTrackerView : UIView { NSMutableArray *strokes; NSMutableDictionary *touchPaths; } - (void) clear; @end @implementation TouchTrackerView // Establish new views with storage initialized for drawing - (id) initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame { if (self = [super initWithFrame:frame]) { self.multipleTouchEnabled = YES; strokes = [NSMutableArray array]; touchPaths = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary]; } return self; } // On clear remove all existing strokes, but not in-progress drawing - (void) clear { [strokes removeAllObjects]; [self setNeedsDisplay]; } // Start touches by adding new paths to the touchPath dictionary - (void) touchesBegan:(NSSet *) touches withEvent:(UIEvent *) event { for (UITouch *touch in touches) { NSString *key = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", (int) touch]; CGPoint pt = [touch locationInView:self]; UIBezierPath *path = [UIBezierPath bezierPath]; path.lineWidth = IS_IPAD? 8: 4; path.lineCapStyle = kCGLineCapRound; [path moveToPoint:pt]; [touchPaths setObject:path forKey:key]; } } // Trace touch movement by growing and stroking the path - (void) touchesMoved:(NSSet *) touches withEvent:(UIEvent *) event { for (UITouch *touch in touches) { NSString *key = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", (int) touch]; UIBezierPath *path = [touchPaths objectForKey:key]; if (!path) break; CGPoint pt = [touch locationInView:self]; [path addLineToPoint:pt]; } [self setNeedsDisplay]; } // On ending a touch, move the path to the strokes array - (void) touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event { for (UITouch *touch in touches) { NSString *key = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", (int) touch]; UIBezierPath *path = [touchPaths objectForKey:key]; if (path) [strokes addObject:path]; [touchPaths removeObjectForKey:key]; } [self setNeedsDisplay]; } - (void) touchesCancelled:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event { [self touchesEnded:touches withEvent:event]; } // Draw existing strokes in dark purple, in-progress ones in light - (void) drawRect:(CGRect)rect { [COOKBOOK_PURPLE_COLOR set]; for (UIBezierPath *path in strokes) [path stroke]; [[COOKBOOK_PURPLE_COLOR colorWithAlphaComponent:0.5f] set]; for (UIBezierPath *path in [touchPaths allValues]) [path stroke]; } @end

Detecting Circles
In a direct manipulation interface like iOS, you'd imagine that most people could get by just pointing to items onscreen. And yet, circle detection remains one of the most requested gestures. Developers like having people circle items onscreen with their fingers. In the spirit of providing solutions that readers have requested, Recipe 4 offers a relatively simple circle detector, which is shown in Figure 3.

An application can be JDO-enabled via many routes depending on the development process of the project in question. For example the project could use Eclipse as the IDE for developing classes. In that case the project would typically use the DataNucleus Eclipse plugin. Alternatively the project could use Ant, Maven or some other build tool. In this case this tutorial should be used as a guiding way for using DataNucleus in the application. The JDO process is quite straightforward.
The tutorial guides you through this. You can obtain the code referenced in this tutorial from SourceForge (one of the files entitled "datanucleus-samples-jdo-tutorial-*").
You can download DataNucleus in many ways, but the simplest is to download the distribution zip appropriate to your datastore (Cassandra in this case). You can do this from SourceForge DataNucleus download page. When you open the zip you will find DataNucleus jars in the lib directory, and dependency jars in the deps directory.
For our tutorial, say we have the following classes representing a store of products for sale.
package org.datanucleus.samples.jdo.tutorial; public class Inventory { String name = null; Set<Product> products = new HashSet(); public Inventory(String name) { this.name = name; } public Set<Product> getProducts() {return products;} }
package org.datanucleus.samples.jdo.tutorial; public class Product { long id; String name = null; String description = null; double price = 0.0; public Product(String name, String desc, double price) { this.name = name; this.description = desc; this.price = price; } }
package org.datanucleus.samples.jdo.tutorial; public class Book extends Product { String author=null; String isbn=null; String publisher=null; public Book(String name, String desc, double price, String author, String isbn, String publisher) { super(name,desc,price); this.author = author; this.isbn = isbn; this.publisher = publisher; } }
So we have a relationship (Inventory having a set of Products), and inheritance (Product-Book). Now we need to be able to persist objects of all of these types, so we need to define persistence for them. There are many things that you can define when deciding how to persist objects of a type but the essential parts are
So this is what we do now. Note that we could define persistence using XML metadata, annotations or via the JDO API. In this tutorial we will use annotations.
package org.datanucleus.samples.jdo.tutorial; @PersistenceCapable public class Inventory { @PrimaryKey String name = null; ... }
package org.datanucleus.samples.jdo.tutorial; @PersistenceCapable public class Product { @PrimaryKey @Persistent(valueStrategy=IdGeneratorStrategy.INCREMENT) long id; ... }
package org.datanucleus.samples.jdo.tutorial; @PersistenceCapable public class Book extends Product { ... }
Note that we mark each class that can be persisted with @PersistenceCapable and their primary key field(s) with @PrimaryKey. In addition we defined a valueStrategy for Product field id so that it will have its values generated automatically. In this tutorial we are using application identity which means that all objects of these classes will have their identity defined by the primary key field(s). You can read more in datastore identity and application identity when designing your systems persistence.
Writing your own classes to be persisted is the start point, but you now need to define which objects of these classes are actually persisted. You do this via a file META-INF/persistence.xml at the root of the CLASSPATH. Like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd" version="2.0"> <!-- JDO tutorial "unit" --> <persistence-unit name="Tutorial"> <class>org.datanucleus.samples.jdo.tutorial.Inventory</class> <class>org.datanucleus.samples.jdo.tutorial.Product</class> <class>org.datanucleus.samples.jdo.tutorial.Book</class> <exclude-unlisted-classes/> <properties> <property name="javax.jdo.option.ConnectionURL" value="cassandra:"/> <property name="javax.jdo.mapping.Schema" value="schema1"/> <property name="datanucleus.schema.autoCreateAll" value="true"/> </properties> </persistence-unit> </persistence>
Note that you could equally use a properties file to define the persistence with JDO, but in this tutorial we use persistence.xml for convenience.
JDO relies on the classes that you want to persist implementing PersistenceCapable. You could write your classes manually to do this but this would be laborious. Alternatively you can use a post-processing step to compilation that "enhances" your compiled classes, adding on the necessary extra methods to make them PersistenceCapable. There are several ways to do this, most notably at post-compile, or at runtime. We use the post-compile step in this tutorial. DataNucleus JDO provides its own byte-code enhancer for instrumenting/enhancing your classes (in datanucleus-core) and this is included in the DataNucleus AccessPlatform zip file prerequisite.
To understand on how to invoke the enhancer you need to visualise where the various source and jdo files are stored
src/main/java/org/datanucleus/samples/jdo/tutorial/Book.java src/main/java/org/datanucleus/samples/jdo/tutorial/Inventory.java src/main/java/org/datanucleus/samples/jdo/tutorial/Product.java src/main/resources/META-INF/persistence.xml target/classes/org/datanucleus/samples/jdo/tutorial/Book.class target/classes/org/datanucleus/samples/jdo/tutorial/Inventory.class target/classes/org/datanucleus/samples/jdo/tutorial/Product.class [when using Ant]] lib/jdo-api.jar lib/datanucleus-core.jar lib/datanucleus-api-jdo.jar
The first thing to do is compile your domain/model classes. You can do this in any way you wish, but the downloadable JAR provides an Ant task, and a Maven2 project to do this for you.
Using Ant : ant compile Using Maven2 : mvn compile
To enhance classes using the DataNucleus Enhancer, you need to invoke a command something like this from the root of your project.
Using Ant : ant enhance Using Maven : (this is usually done automatically after the "compile" goal) mvn datanucleus:enhance Manually on Linux/Unix : java -cp target/classes:lib/datanucleus-core.jar:lib/datanucleus-api-jdo.jar:lib/jdo-api.jar org.datanucleus.enhancer.DataNucleusEnhancer -pu Tutorial Manually on Windows : java -cp target\classes;lib\datanucleus-core.jar;lib\datanucleus-api-jdo.jar;lib\jdo-api.jar org.datanucleus.enhancer.DataNucleusEnhancer -pu Tutorial [Command shown on many lines to aid reading - should be on single line]
This command enhances the .class files that have @PersistenceCapable annotations. If you accidentally omitted this step, at the point of running your application and trying to persist an object, you would get a ClassNotPersistenceCapableException thrown. The use of the enhancer is documented in more detail in the Enhancer Guide. The output of this step are a set of class files that represent PersistenceCapable classes.
Writing your own classes to be persisted is the start point, but you now need to define which objects of these classes are actually persisted, and when. Interaction with the persistence framework of JDO is performed via a PersistenceManager. This provides methods for persisting of objects, removal of objects, querying for persisted objects, etc. This section gives examples of typical scenarios encountered in an application.
The initial step is to obtain access to a PersistenceManager, which you do as follows
PersistenceManagerFactory pmf = JDOHelper.getPersistenceManagerFactory("Tutorial"); PersistenceManager pm = pmf.getPersistenceManager();
Now that the application has a PersistenceManager it can persist objects. This is performed as follows
Transaction tx=pm.currentTransaction(); try { tx.begin(); Inventory inv = new Inventory("My Inventory"); Product product = new Product("Sony Discman", "A standard discman from Sony", 49.99); inv.getProducts().add(product); pm.makePersistent(inv); tx.commit(); } finally { if (tx.isActive()) { tx.rollback(); } pm.close(); }
Note the following
If you want to retrieve an object from persistent storage, something like this will give what you need. This uses a "Query", and retrieves all Product objects that have a price below 150.00, ordering them in ascending price order.
Transaction tx = pm.currentTransaction(); try { tx.begin(); Query q = pm.newQuery("SELECT FROM " + Product.class.getName() + " WHERE price < 150.00 ORDER BY price ASC"); List<Product> products = (List<Product>)q.execute(); Iterator<Product> iter = products.iterator(); while (iter.hasNext()) { Product p = iter.next(); ... (use the retrieved objects) } tx.commit(); } finally { if (tx.isActive()) { tx.rollback(); } pm.close(); }
If you want to delete an object from persistence, you would perform an operation something like
Transaction tx = pm.currentTransaction(); try { tx.begin(); ... (retrieval of objects etc) pm.deletePersistent(product); tx.commit(); } finally { if (tx.isActive()) { tx.rollback(); } pm.close(); }
Clearly you can perform a large range of operations on objects. We can't hope to show all of these here. Any good JDO book will provide many examples.
To run your JDO-enabled application will require a few things to be available in the Java CLASSPATH, these being
After that it is simply a question of starting your application and all should be taken care of. You can access the DataNucleus Log file by specifying the logging configuration properties, and any messages from DataNucleus will be output in the normal way. The DataNucleus log is a very powerful way of finding problems since it can list all SQL actually sent to the datastore as well as many other parts of the persistence process.
Using Ant (you need the included "persistence.xml" to specify your database) ant run Using Maven: mvn exec:java Manually on Linux/Unix : java -cp lib/jdo-api.jar:lib/datanucleus-core.jar:lib/datanucleus-cassandra.jar: lib/datanucleus-api-jdo.jar:lib/{cassandra_jars}:target/classes/:. org.datanucleus.samples.jdo.tutorial.Main Manually on Windows : java -cp lib\jdo-api.jar;lib\datanucleus-core.jar;lib\datanucleus-cassandra.jar; lib\datanucleus-api-jdo.jar;lib\{cassandra_jars};target\classes\;. org.datanucleus.samples.jdo.tutorial.Main Output : DataNucleus Tutorial ============= Persisting products Product and Book have been persisted Retrieving Extent for Products > Product : Sony Discman [A standard discman from Sony] > Book : JRR Tolkien - Lord of the Rings by Tolkien Executing Query for Products with price below 150.00 > Book : JRR Tolkien - Lord of the Rings by Tolkien Deleting all products from persistence Deleted 2 products End of Tutorial
In the above simple tutorial we showed how to employ JDO and persist objects to Cassandra. Obviously this just scratches the surface of what you can do, and to use JDO requires minimal work from the user. In this second part we show some further things that you are likely to want to do.
In the above simple tutorial we didn't look at controlling the schema generated for these classes. Now let's pay more attention to this part by defining XML Metadata for the schema.
<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE orm PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Java Data Objects Metadata 2.0//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/orm_2_0.dtd"> <orm> <package name="org.datanucleus.samples.jdo.tutorial"> <class name="Inventory" identity-type="datastore" table="INVENTORIES"> <inheritance strategy="new-table"/> <field name="name"> <column name="INVENTORY_NAME" length="100" jdbc-type="VARCHAR"/> </field> <field name="products"> <join/> </field> </class> <class name="Product" identity-type="datastore" table="PRODUCTS"> <inheritance strategy="new-table"/> <field name="name"> <column name="PRODUCT_NAME" length="100" jdbc-type="VARCHAR"/> </field> <field name="description"> <column length="255" jdbc-type="VARCHAR"/> </field> </class> <class name="Book" identity-type="datastore" table="BOOKS"> <inheritance strategy="new-table"/> <field name="isbn"> <column length="20" jdbc-type="VARCHAR"/> </field> <field name="author"> <column length="40" jdbc-type="VARCHAR"/> </field> <field name="publisher"> <column length="40" jdbc-type="VARCHAR"/> </field> </class> </package> </orm>
With JDO you have various options as far as where this XML MetaData files is placed in the file structure, and whether they refer to a single class, or multiple classes in a package. With the above example, we have both classes specified in the same file package-cassandra.orm, in the package these classes are in, since we want to persist to Cassandra.
This step is optional, depending on whether you have an existing database schema. If you haven't, at this point you can use the SchemaTool to generate the tables where these domain objects will be persisted. DataNucleus SchemaTool is a command line utility (it can be invoked from Maven2/Ant in a similar way to how the Enhancer is invoked). The first thing that you need is to update the persistence.xml file with your database details.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd" version="2.0"> <!-- Tutorial "unit" --> <persistence-unit name="Tutorial"> <class>org.datanucleus.samples.jdo.tutorial.Inventory</class> <class>org.datanucleus.samples.jdo.tutorial.Product</class> <class>org.datanucleus.samples.jdo.tutorial.Book</class> <exclude-unlisted-classes/> <properties> <property name="javax.jdo.option.ConnectionURL" value="cassandra:"/> <property name="javax.jdo.mapping.Schema" value="schema1"/> <property name="datanucleus.schema.autoCreateAll" value="true"/> </properties> </persistence-unit> </persistence>
Now we need to run DataNucleus SchemaTool. For our case above you would do something like this
Using Ant : ant createschema Using Maven2 : mvn datanucleus:schema-create Manually on Linux/Unix : java -cp target/classes:lib/datanucleus-core.jar:lib/datanucleus-cassandra.jar: lib/datanucleus-jdo-api.jar:lib/jdo-api.jar:lib/{cassandra_driver.jar} org.datanucleus.store.schema.SchemaTool -create -pu Tutorial Manually on Windows : java -cp target\classes;lib\datanucleus-core.jar;lib\datanucleus-cassandra.jar; lib\datanucleus-api-jdo.jar;lib\jdo-api.jar;lib\{cassandra_driver.jar} org.datanucleus.store.schema.SchemaTool -create -pu Tutorial [Command shown on many lines to aid reading. Should be on single line]
This will generate the required tables, etc for the classes defined in the JDO Meta-Data file.
