Are you pregnant and diagnosed with herpes? Did your doctor prescribe you acyclovir? Are you wondering whether can you take acyclovir while pregnant? To get the answers to your queries, consider reading our post.
What Is Acyclovir?
Acyclovir is an antiviral medication for treating simplex infections like cold sores, herpes, shingles, and chickenpox. It belongs to the brand Zovirax. Acyclovir is an antiviral drug. It does not cure herpes completely. The virus that causes the infection will continue to live in the body even after outbreaks. Acyclovir simply reduces the intensity and severity of herpes and prevents the formation of new sores. For women with a weak immune system, acyclovir reduces the risk of the herpes virus spreading to the other parts of the body.
Pregnancy And Herpes:
Herpes is a common health condition during pregnancy. Women who had herpes before can pass protective antibodies to their babies. These antibodies help prevent the baby from catching herpes, even if the mother had a herpes outbreak at the time of the birth. Women with first-time herpes are most likely to pass the infection to their babies. That's because the mother is not making antibodies to the infection. Doctors recommend that women with an active herpes outbreak should have a C-section instead of a vaginal birth.
[ Read: Ways to Avoid Herpes During Pregnancy ]
Is Acyclovir Safe During Pregnancy?
Yes! It is safe to take acyclovir during pregnancy. The drug does pass on to the fetus, but not to levels that are dangerous, whether you take it orally or apply it topically. Neither does acyclovir increase the chance of miscarriage or birth defects.
However, you should consult your physician and gynecologist before taking acyclovir while pregnant. Most doctors prescribe acyclovir during around the time of the due date. The medicine will reduce the chances of an outbreak, making the delivery safer.
How Does Acyclovir During Pregnancy Treat Herpes?
Acyclovir targets herpes by mimicking a substance that the body needs to produce. When the virus enters the body, the antiviral gets in the way of virus and prevents it from reproducing. Since the body needs the substance mimicked by acyclovir, it doesn't react to the drug. However, it can react with the body in some cases.
[ Read: Effects Of Metformin In Pregnancy ]
Doctors recommend taking acyclovir in small doses during the last weeks of pregnancy. The suppressive therapy will prevent you from shedding the virus and having an outbreak during the time of birth. During the last weeks of pregnancy, your baby will be less likely to suffer from the side effects of any medicine that you take. The common dosages of acyclovir for treating herpes are:
- For treating genital herpes: 200 mg five times daily for ten days.
- For preventing the recurrence of genital herpes: 400 mg every 12 hours for twelve months.

Precautions For Pregnant Women:
While there is no report of birth defects associated with acyclovir, it isn't safe to take the medication more than the prescribed amount at any time.
Possible Side Effects:
Acyclovir side effects are rare in pregnant women. Women who use this medication did not report any side effect. Acyclovir also has a low allergic profile. Antivirals are completely different from antibiotics, as they don't wreak havoc on your body. But the immune system of every woman is different so the medicine can react differently. The possible side effects of taking acyclovir during pregnancy include:
- Nausea
- Headache
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Dizziness
- Drowsiness
[ Read: Ways To Deal Dizziness During Pregnancy ]
Severe Side Effects:
- Severe rashes and peeling
- Unusual bleeding
- Seizure
- Peeling of the eyes and skin
- Hallucination
- Difficulty in breathing
- Numbness and tingling
If you notice any of these symptoms, then visit your doctor immediately.

I have been doing lots of watercolour and ink sketches of buildings recently.

I am trying to catch up with blog posts about my sketchbooks! This one is all about shoes, boots etc, and was done at the beginning of the year.

Some more of my watercolour and pen sketches…this time vegetables.
Over the last couple of months, I have been doing little watercolour and pen sketches in various sketchbooks based around different themes. They really help me to start my day as I tend to do them in the morning. My go to watercolours is the "Sakura Koi Watercolors Pocket Field Sketch Box" and my favourite pens (at the moment, because I'm a fickle little bunny) are Sakura Pigma Microns (and no, I'm not affiliated to Sakura in any way).
During the month of October, I took part in the InkTober drawing challenge…one ink drawing a day, every day during the whole month…31 days, 31 drawings.
I enjoyed doing the Artworks Studio sketchbook challenge so much in August, that I did another one in September, with my youngest doing a list of things for me to sketch, and then choosing which one I did each day.
During the month of August I took part in the 30 Day Sketchbook Challenge, run by Artworks Studio to raise money for Cancer Research UK.
A few weeks ago, we went to Norwich for the day to find some dragons…GoGo Dragons, to be exact…there are 84 of these art sculptures across the city. Obviously, we weren't able to see all of them, but we managed a good number…38!
This last trail of Shaun in the City took us from one end of London to the other, from Paddington via St James's Park, to Canary Wharf.
Last week, we not only did Timmy's Trail but also The Farmer's Lost Sheep of Shaun in the City. It made for a rather long but enjoyable day. The photos on this post are from Timmy's Trail, which took us from the London Eye to Covent Garden.

Open Thread: Friends and Family and Everyone Else
Here's a place to talk about the relationships in your life whenever you want.
Last week in therapy, I was discussing why I prefer staying at home over going out. Again.
"I just hate parties," I explained. "It's always the exact same thing. With the exact same people. And that's fine," I said. "I mean, they're all nice. But for the most part, I'm just as happy if I stay home. Truthfully," I added, "I'm happier."
You see at home I have my nice, clean apartment. I have pajamas. And television. I have enough books to entertain me for days. I have wine, cookies and the best couch in all of the land. Do I have human interaction? No. But since when is human interaction that great anyway?
"All anyone wants to do anymore is talk about himself," I told my therapist. "I can't even tell you how many dinners I go out to with friends where we spend the entire meal talking about their lives and then, as we're paying the check, they finally turn and ask me how I'm doing. Every email I get? It's someone asking me for a favor. Wanting me to help them. It's shocking! I can't even imagine taking taking taking, and yet it's all anyone seems to do anymore."
"So maybe you need to make some new friends," he suggested.
"Maybe," I said. "But ugh. Meeting new people. Who wants to do that?"
Which is how I ended up at the launch party for Thorny Rose Wines last Thursday night.
"I really don't want to go," I told my therapist.
"Just try it," he said. "And don't worry about being 'on' or making people laugh or all of the other stuff you do when you go out. Let other people take the reins on that for once."
"Well it is free wine and bowling," I said. "And I do love both of those things."
So I RSVPed yes. Just me. No guests. Bowling solo, as it were.
As I got dressed, I imagined how it would go. I'd walk into the swanky bowling alley (yes, such things exist in cities these days) and I'd be greeted by a representative from the wine company. That person would perhaps have heard of me since I was deemed "influential" enough to get the invite. Regardless, he or she would introduce me to one or two other people and within minutes I'd have a glass of wine in one hand and a bowling ball in the other. Everyone would be friendly, ambitious, eager to meet new people. I'd bowl a strike and a former-stranger/new-friend would high five me.
I mean seriously people: I am THAT naïve.
Here's what happened instead.
I walked in and gave my name at the door. The person crossed it off and said nothing. Not: go inside and grab a drink. Not: hope you're ready to bowl. Just: nothing. So I walked inside where the party was already in full swing. People were bowling, chatting, and swigging wine, while a photographer captured the action with his camera.
Meanwhile, no one even glanced in my direction. I plastered a small smile on my face, one that I hoped was inviting and friendly, but not creepy. I looked around the room taking it all in. Then I headed straight to the bar because if I was going to do this, I sure as hell wasn't going to do it sober. Once I procured a glass of Sauvignon Blanc (which, to their credit was delicious –- and it's cheap at only $10.99 a bottle), I decided to wander around a little bit in the hopes of striking (sorry: bad pun) up some conversations.
First I wandered to the area where people were getting their bowling shoes. I leaned against the counter. Tried to smile at a few people, but it was near impossible since everyone was avoiding eye contact. Then I moved to the other side of the counter and repeated with the same results. I took my jacket off. I put my jacket on. I stood by the stairs pretending to take in the view.
In short: Remember the scene in "Clueless" where Tai is standing on the edge of the dance floor by herself and she rearranges her button-down shirt in 17 different styles while staring longingly at the crowd? Yeah: THAT WAS ME. Except, I'm 35 and not in high school.
Finally, I decided to just take a seat at the bar and hope that someone would see me sitting solo and take some pity on me. I made sure to keep my head up and keep my iPhone in my bag so as to seem open to chatting. After 10 minutes (and two glasses of wine), a woman joined her friends and took the empty seat next to mine. "Oh, are you here alone?" she asked.
"Yeah," I said and smiled.
"Well feel free to join our conversation," she said. " Don't let me box you out." And then she swiveled her bar stool so that I was staring at her back. Seriously. "Don't let me box you out AS I DO JUST THAT."
All I could think about was when I flew to New York in September to go to the Jets game and there was a woman on our party bus who was alone because she was meeting her friend at the stadium and how I went out of my way to invite that woman into my conversations. How I made sure she was never alone. How she had someone to sit with when the tailgate food was served. How she didn't have to stand there and wonder why no one was talking to her. And I didn't do it because I felt bad for her; I did it because it was the right thing to do. And because it's fun to talk to new people and hear their stories and not have it just always be about me me me me me. I did it because I would hope someone would do that for me if I were in the same situation. Alas. Not so much.
You're probably wondering why I didn't just leave at this point -- I actually did have a friend meeting me at the party in an hour and a half because he was taking me to Louis C.K. (who, by the way, was hilarious and I died laughing the entire time). And another part of me was determined to at least stick it out so that I could say I tried.
Luckily, another friend eventually showed up and saved the evening. I explained to him what had happened and he shrugged.
"I guess that's just San Francisco," I said. He nodded.
I know this topicisn't a new one to xoJane. Making friends is hard. It is so very much harder when you're in your 30s. I work from home. I don't belong to any "clubs." As I've mentioned, I really like being alone. Plus, people seem to have sort of settled into the groups or their relationships and I guess they feel content.
But what about people like me? Single girls who need other single friends? I mean, I am happy doing almost anything by myself -- in fact, there are a lot of things I prefer doing alone (see: going to the movies and drinking). But when, recently, I couldn't find anyone who wanted to go with me to the theater or the baseball game or even take a bike ride to the beach, that's when I realized I needed to expand my friend circle.
All I wanted to do at that party was meet a few people, bowl a few games and drink some good wine. Instead, I met no one and didn't even get as far as putting on the required shoes. At least the wine was tasty and free.
So how do you do it? How do you make friends in your 30s when it seems like everyone else's friend groups are all filled up? Please give me your advice before I turn into a total agoraphobic.
Also, please follow me on Twitter @daisy so that I don't feel like a complete failure at life. Thank you for all that you do.

You know when you see someone drinking a cup of tea and they just look… Happy? They might well be drinking Jade Oolong, a beautiful high-grown Taiwanese tea with beautiful jade-green leaves and a creamy, almost buttery taste.
Goji Acai: love your superfoods?
Goji, Acai, Green Tea. Three superfoods, all in one tea. All three are jam-packed with antioxidants, Vitamin C is said to boost immunity, and there are all sorts of whispers about weight-loss. Something to chat about in the yoga queue.
Orange Blossom: in need of some aromatherapy?
Ever tried making almond and orange blossom meringues? They're amazing. And obviously the perfect combination with our Orange Blossom black tea: it's vibrant, refreshing and gloriously floral.
TEA FOR THE TIRED: boosting brews and soothing infusions
Grapefruit Yerba Mate: ever been to South America?
Then you may have experienced the Yerba Mate effect. The leaves of the Yerba Mate plant are naturally packed with three types of stimulant, and we've added grapefruit, lemon balm and peppermint for extra buzz.
Chilli Chai: the Mumbai mix
Chai works like a charm for the tired – as we found, trawling around the hot streets of Mumbai in May. Most good chais contain a hint of chilli, and we've ramped up the heat. A wake-up call for your tastebuds.
Cucumber Mint: bright eyes brew
Do cucumbers really work as a face mask? Personally we prefer them in sandwiches, but they're also sublime blended with peppermint. Definitely up there as one of the most refreshing teas in our collection.
THE EXPERIMENTALIST: tea for adventurous tastes
Gaba Oolong: a technologist's tea
Into your tea technology? Then you might be interested in the technique behind this Taiwanese tea, designed to increase the levels of 'Gaba', a compound thought to have a calming effect on the nervous system. The taste? Apricots and cream.
Margaret's Hope Moonlight Darjeeling: nothing like it under the moon
Margaret's Hope Estate is famous for its First Flush Darjeeling, and we were intrigued to see that they also produce a rather unusual style of white tea. With its slight hint of Darjeeling muscatel, it's quite unlike any white tea we've tried.
Tuo Cha Tea Cakes: a traveller's tea
In China tea is traditionally sold in a compressed 'cake' or 'brick', originally designed for taking the tea on long journeys. These individually wrapped cakes of Hunan black tea have a strong, fruity taste with a hint of spice and smoke.
SWEET-TOOTH: tea without the dentistry
Petit Macaron: let them eat cake
This is a blend to put Pierre Hermé to shame: a gourmet combination of green tea, black tea, coconut, caramel and hazelnut brittle. We can't decide which tea we prefer, Petit Macaron or Red Velvet Cake….
Choco-Rooibos: cutting down on the hot chocolate?
Don't be too Spartan, just go herbal. Our Great Taste Award-winning Choco-Roobois is blended with dark cocoa nibs, ginger, cardamom, cinnamon and a twist of black pepper. It's inspired by the cocoa sipped by the Spanish court in the 16th century.
Coconut Truffle: sweet on white tea?
White tea is the least processed of all types of tea – in fact, it's the nearest thing to the original tea leaf. The clean, hydrating taste makes it a wonderful base for a blend, and we've combined the leaves with cocoa nibs and pieces of coconut.
PRETTY TEA: something for show-offs
Piccadilly Blend: eye candy tea
This is our original 'confetti tea', scattered with multicoloured petals and blended with flavours of rose, strawberry and lotus. We love to store it in big glass jars on the kitchen shelf – it looks amazing next to our Mango and Bergamot.
Extravagant Earl Grey: the beauty of afternoon tea
We're never satisfied until we've tried all different styles of a tea, and British Earl Grey has experimentation at its heart. That's why we created a white tea version and added a sprinkling of Madagascan Vanilla – it's extravagant and it knows it.
Herbal Chai: tea that deserves to be seen
They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder but we'd go as far to say that our Herbal Chai is quite possibly the most beautiful blend in our collection. Think pom-poms of golden camomile, sweet star anise and pretty pink rose petals…

When I dragged my body from its cool cocoon of white sheets and mosquito nets, I did what comes naturally on the Mozambique coast. I did nothing. I sat on the beach, wrapped in a soft sarong, and stared.
Although dawn had just broken, the beach was alive with activity. Creamy crabs flung clawfuls of wet sand out of their holes, nipping out every now and then for a spindly version of the cha-cha. Bus-size shoals of baby mackerel flitted in and out of the turquoise shallows in dark clouds, occasionally leaping into the sky in a flashing mass of silver. Lizards slunk uncertainly on rocks, in search of mosquitoes left over from last night's buzzing, muggy darkness. In the distance, on a creamy sandbar, pelicans rose in a pink cloud against the blackness of an approaching storm. There wasn't another human in sight.
In Mozambique, tourism isn't new. It's just that it has been slightly interrupted – by wars, by Communism, by floods, by leftover landmines that tore limbs off thousands of civilians. In the Sixties and Seventies, before the war for independence that resulted in Samora Machel's Frelimo party wresting power from its Portuguese colonisers in 1975, and the civil war that ended only in 1992, the country had more tourists than South Africa and Rhodesia combined (in 1972, 292,000). It was the Swinging Sixties holiday spot; the destination to which my family would drive 12 hours through the searing heat from Zimbabwe in our yellow VW Beetle.
In many ways, little has changed since then. The beaches (all 1,500 miles of them) are still the clichéd picture of perfection: pure white and soft, laced with thick tropical vegetation and palm trees and occasionally littered with roughly painted dhows, their tattered sails often a patchwork of old food-aid sacks. The prawns are still giant, fat and firm, served with bowlfuls of lemon-infused olive oil. Rustic beach bars still serve cold bottles of Portuguese Graca and local Laurentina beers at lunchtime, reminders of the habits of the country's former colonial masters. And the people appear to be pleased to see tourists – to see anybody, frankly, who will drag them out of their poverty.
What has changed is the style of tourism. When I was a child, hotels were basic, owned by native and Portuguese locals and catering mainly to families from southern Africa. Today, many are upmarket, mostly foreign-owned and the epitome of beachside chic, providing serious competition to South Africa's luxury resorts.
The similarity in style and quality to South Africa is no coincidence; Mozambique's growth is largely a result of financial aid and trade from its wealthy neighbour, which has installed phone lines, railways, roads, supermarkets and the enormous new Sasol gasworks, piping energy to South Africa. By 2010, when the predicted millions of visitors will pour into South Africa for the football World Cup, a four-lane motorway and railway line all the way through to Johannesburg should be finished, too, providing instant access to this coastal bliss.
Despite the proximity to its sophisticated neighbour, however, Mozambique has retained a rustic charm. Walking down the aircraft's stairs on to the runway and into the tiny, dilapidated corrugated-roofed terminal at Vilanculos, on the southern coast, I was struck by three things. First, the humidity (in December, about 80 per cent, with temperatures in the 30s). Second, the sea air (full of the scents of coconuts, fish and salt). And third, the smiles.
It was the friendliness of the Mozambican people that persuaded Christopher and Julia Butterfield, the co-owners of Pambele, the first property I visited, to invest in the country. The Nottinghamshire property developer had cut his teeth at Tuli, a game lodge he part-owns in Botswana, where he discovered the basics of working with communities to benefit conservation. Now, he's one of 25 international investors who own 89,000 acres of the Vilanculos Wildlife Sanctuary on Mozambique's San Sebastian Peninsula – and one of only four who has actually built a house on the land, which he will let out for about 12 weeks a year.
To call it a house isn't fair. Set on two and a half acres of prime beachfront land, it is more like a boutique hotel that you have all to yourself: a string of elegant thatched buildings, backed by bush-covered hillsides and fronted by miles of white beach and shallow seas. At low tide, it takes about 10 minutes to walk out over the sand to water that's deep enough to put a boat in. At mid-tide, the sea is turquoise blue: a luminescent, pale aquamarine. And at high tide, you can float, happily, in midnight-blue calmness (no waves as this area of water is set within a ring of islands and reefs that protect it from the Indian Ocean), with snorkels on, hoping to catch a glimpse of one of the hundreds of reef fish that breed in these waters, or perhaps even the dugong (a walrus-like creature with a mermaid-shaped tail that is considered a delicacy in these parts and listed as critically endangered by the World Wide Fund for Nature).
In other parts of Mozambique, there are new game reserves that specialise in mammals. But here, in the Bazaruto Archipelago, which was the country's first national park – comprising Bazaruto, Benguerra, Magaruque, Santa Carolina and Bangue islands, just four miles off the coastline and a two-hour flight from Johannesburg – it's all about the sea and marine conservation.
Frankly, if you don't like boats, snorkelling, fishing or hanging about in white sand, this is not the national park for you.
Divers from all over the world fly in to plunge the clear depths in search of turtles, coloured nudibranchs, laptop-sized crabs and giant clams. Out beyond the reefs, humpback whales, whale sharks and giant Zambezi sharks can be spotted – the last, rather irritatingly, can whip off a rod-bending tuna before you get the chance to reel it in. Dozens of small spinner dolphins might leap out of the water in balletic displays, while their bottleneck cousins gently crest the waves. Last November, about 15 miles out to sea, a dozen or so Zambezi sharks were spotted tearing meat off a dead whale. One of them, a fisherman insisted, was as long and nearly as wide as his 21ft boat.
Those monsters, however, remain miles out, the locals say. On the inner side of the reef, the conditions are so good for snorkelling (white sand bottom, shallow waters, abundant marine life and vibrantly coloured coral reefs) that one area off Two Mile Reef is called the Aquarium. In two hours there one morning we swam barely 300 feet because there was so much to ogle: an octopus that tried to camouflage itself amid the rocks, then blew itself into a violent blue ball to scare us off; porcupine puffers; parrotfish the size of a Jack Russell; shy Nemo-like clown fish hiding among orange anemones; violet and neon-green clams that snapped shut as we passed overhead. Fish of every colour of the rainbow leapt, darted, hid and fluttered before our eyes as if in some psychedelic dream.
The fishing is so good in these parts that specialist British angling companies such as Aardvark McLeod (www.aardvarkmcleod.com) send salt fly-fishermen and marlin anglers there to try their hand. From mid-September to December, the deep channels frequently sport hardy boats decked out with harnessed fishing seats inhabited by would-be Hemingways hoping to beat the 1,298kg marlin record.
From April to August, sailfish fans can be spotted at sea, itching to be given a chance to fight the brightly hued creature that might struggle for four or five hours to get off the hook. And all year round, amateurs such as I will happily cast out on a catch-and-release policy, perhaps keeping one or two for dinner (which one evening consisted of tuna sashimi followed by king mackerel fillets baked in lemon).
Which brings me to eating in Mozambique. About 90 per cent of the people are subsistence fishermen, so there is an ample supply of good seafood for visitors. At each of the three elegant beach lodges my partner and I stayed at, we encountered something delicious that had been whipped up using some sea creature caught that morning: Thai crab curry, calamari with chilli peanut sauce, tuna sushi (at Benguerra Lodge, where the food was some of the best I've eaten at a beach resort ), giant grilled prawns and white mussels cooked in wine and cream.
While most of the head chefs in this area are South African, each lodge adheres to an ecotourism policy that ensures jobs and employment training are provided to the local community. Which is why service and attention to detail might not be quite as slick as they are in Europe.
"When you think that many of our waiters hadn't ever seen a knife and fork before, it really was starting from scratch," said Chris Bettany, the British owner of Azura.
"But, as you can see from their reaction to you, they're loving the opportunities. And we hope that, by employing anywhere from 70 to 200 people at a time, we're playing an active role in community development."
The local mayor's policy of upmarket, low-impact tourism has ensured that the island's three lodges are small, and as eco-friendly as possible. Azura (opened last October), Benguerra Lodge (opened last December) and Marlin (opened early this year) are all boutique-sized and suitably expensive (from £300 per person a night).
They are likely to be busy, too. In 2005, the country welcomed more than 700,000 visitors. By 2025, they're predicting more than four million a year. I would get in quickly.
- An 11-night trip to South Africa and Mozambique with Aardvark Safaris (01980 849160, www.aardvarksafaris.com) costs from £4,600 per person sharing. This would combine three nights' safari at Cybele Forest Lodge and three nights at Djuma Vuyatella in South Africa, with five nights' beach holiday at Benguerra. All international and internal flights, transfers, accommodation, meals and most activities are included. The cost of a single night at Azura or Benguerra Lodge is more than £300 per person.

'Decluttering guru' Marie Kondo's new book promises to make tidying fun
I'm not one for New Year's Resolutions but one thing I am definitely, without a shadow of a doubt, just-you-try-and-stop-me, doing this year is decluttering my home. And I know I'm going to succeed because I have self-described "crazy tidying fanatic" Marie Kondo to help me.
More: 6 Easy home office hacks to make the most of your space
Not personally — how awesome would that be?! — but via the power of the Internet and Kondo's new book, Spark Joy: An Illustrated Master Class on the Art of Organizing and Tidying Up.
Yes, there is an art to tidying up. No, it's not just chucking things in random boxes and drawers. Which I confess to being guilty of. Anyone visiting my house wouldn't think I'm particularly untidy but here's the thing: I'm rather devious about it.
It's not quite on the scale of Monica from Friends but there are definitely drawers in my kitchen that might provoke a similar reaction to this.
If you haven't heard of Marie Kondo she's the world's "decluttering guru" and Japanese celebrity who topped The New York Times Bestseller list with her first book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, was named one of the 100 most influential people of 2015 by Time magazine and whose surname has become a verb. As in "This year, I shall be kondoing my wardrobe" or "Kids, you haven't kondoed your bedrooms for weeks!"
More: 7 Clutter-busting ideas for when you have small kids
Kondo's Facebook page is full of photos from people with messy wardrobes all over the world, like this:
Which, following Kondo's golden rules of home organisation, will magically end up looking like this:
Kondo, 31, has been obsessed with organising since she was a child, when she used to pore over articles on tidying in her mother's magazines. Her interest developed during her teens and she read every book available in Japanese on the subject. She even had a nervous breakdown in high school so preoccupied was she with getting rid of clutter.
This experience is what made her decide to find a way to make tidying a happy, positive process, she says. Which means Kondo's advice goes way beyond folding methods (she has a way of folding everything, right down to plastic carrier bags). In fact it places just as much importance on clearing your mind as well as your house, which has to be something we could all do with a little of.
The basic principles of the KonMari method are pretty straightforward. First of all, you dump all items you own that belong in a certain category on the floor (begin with clothes, says Kondo, then go on to books, papers, komono (miscellany) and, finally, sentimental items), then go through them item-by-item, deciding if each one "sparks joy."
"When deciding, it's important to touch it, and by that, I mean holding it firmly in both hands as if communing with it," Kondo writes in the new book. "Pay close attention to how your body responds when you do this. When something sparks joy, you should feel a little thrill, as if the cells in your body are slowly rising. When you hold something that doesn't bring you joy, however, you will notice that your body feels heavier."
Anything that doesn't "spark joy" gets binned.
And those items that don't trigger this joyful reaction but are necessary for modern life (such as washing up liquid, picture hooks and the aforementioned carrier bags)? Shower these items with praise and acknowledge the way they make your life simpler. Or make them more aesthetically beautiful: in her own home, Kondo removes the label from her laundry detergent and wraps ribbon around it.
Spark Joy: An Illustrated Guide to the Japanese Art of Tidying (Vermilion, £13) by Marie Kondo is out on Jan. 7.

Farm Apprentice & Intern Program
2018 Organic Farm Apprentice & Internship Positions
Apprentice positions are from April - October • Intern positions are from May - August • FALL Intern positions are from August-November*
*Apprentice & Intern position experiences are similar, as described below, however apprentice positions are longer and therefore receive more in-depth training and experience.
Scroll Down for full position description below, we provide, housing, all the food from the farm that you can eat and a weekly stipend for living expenses.
About Devon Point Farm's Apprentice & Intern Program:
Devon Point Farm is committed not only to growing healthy (chemical-free, organic) food and feeding our local community, but to educating the new farmers, agricultural entrepreneurs, nutritionists and agricultural policy makers of tomorrow. Our in-depth apprentice & intern program immerses individuals with a serious interest in sustainable food production, with more than theoretical knowledge… our approach is a practical, hands-on education that takes them from the soil and roots of a farming operation to the business fundamentals they need to know to make their own farming business a financially viable success. For others, this experience will help shape their ideas on government's hand in agriculture or it will help them speak with credibility on subjects like sustainability, and food systems, nutrition and policy.
As the owners of this operation, we make a considerable time investment in carefully selecting and teaching only a handful of candidates that will truly benefit the most from this apprentice and internship experience. With over 300 applicants annually for just five positions, we screen for individuals who are committed to making the most of their experience on our farm, to help positively shape their future, and to foster an environment that encourages creativity and innovation in developing new, financially viable farm business ideas.
'Sustainability' is the buzzword in farming today, but a sustainable farm is not truly sustainable unless it is financially viable as well. Small- to mid-size farms must be creative and diversified to survive in today's economy. It is absolutely critical to a farm's economic success and long-term sustainability to constantly look for opportunities to diversify their core operations. While at the farm, our apprentices and interns are encouraged to think through, field-test, and lay the foundations needed to create their own agricultural business ideas and actually write their business plan. In some cases, we are able to provide the land, equipment and resources they need to start their own farming operation.
Many of our apprentices and interns come to Devon Point during the searching phase of their adult lives, having been inspired by Michael Pollan books, and movies such as Food, Inc., influenced by altruistic and idealistic college professors, and a craving for meaningful work in nature's outdoor world. They also come weary of a bleak job market and depressing economy, or fatigued from an unfulfilling corporate office life or unsatisfactory career.
Our job is not to present a pretty picture of farming, but to give them the gritty, realistic, practical perspective of what a farmer's body and brain must accomplish any given day in order to succeed in a challenging choice of vocation. We do not focus on nostalgic or sentimental aspects of agriculture, but instead the marriage of new ideas, and new business models to create tomorrow's small business owners in farming… people who will directly create their own healthy businesses in their communities, be sources of local food, inspiration and jobs in their communities, and in turn educate others, both their customers and other future farmers about farming and food production today. Devon Point Farm's apprentice program is meant to be an opportunity for individuals to test themselves in a career that they have dreamed of pursing and giving them the hands-on training, tools, experience and education, along with the possibility to use land as test plots for their fledgling businesses. Our apprentices and interns are taught how to preserve resources, grow healthy food, and work with nature, not against it.
We bring our apprentices and interns on private tours of other select farms where other farm business owners share their insights, successes and failures in their agricultural activities. They learn about large-scale traditional farming models, as well as more innovative small-scale niche farming activities that often rely more on agritourism (the fastest growing sector in agriculture); the creation of unique, niche farm products; or incorporating wellness and holistic healing education and activities with farming to create a complete farm-to-table-to-body business model.
Throughout the apprentice and intern experience at Devon Point, family life is emphasized… how to incorporate supporting a marriage and a family from the income and lifestyle of a small farm. Through our struggles and triumphs in farming, and those of other farmers, our apprentices and interns are made aware of the family side of what a farming lifestyle is all about.
From first hand experience we know the challenges new famers face, things like finding land, locating working capitol, procuring leases, managing the negative background noise from the critics and developing realistic goals. Like any business and maybe more so in farming, the upfront costs of purchasing land, infrastructure and equipment make for some pretty steep barriers to entry. The time-tested model of sharecropping (when a farmer who does not own land works a plot belonging to a landowner who receives a share of the harvest as payment) may be the best solution to getting started. And for the right candidates, we offer this.
One of our goals is to prove that a husband and wife team can make a living solely from farming (no off-farm jobs) while carrying a mortgage, not having inherited the land, and not having a trust fund or wealthy family's support.
Our Apprentice Opportunity: Devon Point Farm offers an honest, accurate on-farm learning experience. We provide a beautiful, clean, safe, healthy setting to work hard, play hard, and learn valuable real-life skills. You can get in great physical shape while learning all the basic components that you need to strategically plan, operate, promote and manage your own profitable, sustainable and rewarding farm business. The work teaches about sustainable farming practices, economics of making a farm profitable, marketing, raising cattle, growing crops organically for profit, customer relations, and what it's like to work hard for a healthy lifestyle and successful future.
About Devon Point Farm: Devon Point Farm has a 200-member organic vegetable and flower share "CSA" share program, CSA stand for "Community Supported Agriculture" – a simple idea in which a CSA member buys a "share" of a farmer's harvest at the beginning of growing season and then come to the farm on a weekly basis to pick it up. We also have a herd of rare heritage breed North Devon Cattle (commonly called American Milking Devons), which are sold for breeding stock and grassfed beef. The entire farm is farmed organically and we also raise heritage breed chickens for eggs and meat as well as pigs for pork. In the FALL, we do a "Winter CSA Share" vegetable program for up to 100 CSA members, this program would be one of the primary responsibilities of the Fall Apprentice.
Devon Point Farm is owned and Operated by Patty and Erick Taylor. The farm is located in Woodstock, Connecticut, an area is known for its rural countryside and classic New England setting. The farm is located 30 minutes from Worcester, 1 hour from Providence and Hartford, 1 1/2 hours from Boston and slightly over 3 hours from New York City.
The daily farm routine: The daily routine is Monday - Friday, 6 am – 6 pm. Saturdays are a half day. On a daily basis, there's routine chores like caring for chickens, moving cattle through rotational grazing pastures, and all the components of running the CSA like starting seeds, planting, weeding, harvesting, setting up produce displays for the share members, cutting flowers and making bouquets. We work 11-12 hour days, but if it's hot and we're caught up on our workload, we're the first to suggest running off to a nearby pond for a swim, then finish up with any evening chores and a great meal.
Special learning components for apprentices and interns: Apprentices and interns get a special learning opportunity about all the "behind-the-scenes" aspects of farm business management – all aspects of running a profitable and sustainable farm business including but not limited to understanding the farm's bookkeeping, financial planning and management, grant writing, and the holistic approach animal and crop production planning. Also cattle herd management, our breeding philosophy, grassfed beef production, marketing and processing, grazing rotation planning, as well as overall herd health management. Also all aspects of the business management of organic vegetable and flower farm operations will be shared including field crop planning, crop management, equipment and supply decisions, product marketing and promotion, customer relationship management, as well as day-to-day operations management.
Housing available: For both apprentices and interns, we have room and board available. We have a brand-new house with very nice accommodations - a big room upstairs with a great view of a pond frequented by ducks and geese and the cows grazing in the fields beyond. A private bathroom shared only with other interns. Your "off time" (typically Sundays) would be your own and we would encourage you to explore the area and can set up other farm visits to round out your experience. We also have a boat and like to go weekly to the ocean for fishing and beach time - interns would be welcome to join us on the boat or get dropped off on a beach or at a scenic coastal town like Mystic for a day of shopping and sightseeing.
Stipend: We do not pay apprentices or interns for their work as this is a volunteer learning experience, but we do provide a weekly stipend for living expenses plus housing, in our home or in tents, and all the food you can eat that we produce on the farm.
The right candidate: We are only looking for dedicated, honest, hard working, down-to-earth, positive, teachable, fun-loving, clean-cut appearance, non-smoking and English-speaking, applicants. Like any experience, you will get out of it what you put into it.
Full-Season APPRENTICE positions are from the beginning of April through the end of October.
Mid-Season SUMMER INTERN positions are typically during the college break, from End of May through late August.
FALL Apprentice position runs from August through November.
How To Apply: Interested applicants may e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com with a brief description of yourself, a resume, a photo of yourself, what interests you about our farm business, what you would like to get out of your stay, how long you would like to stay with us, your related experience/background/education.

The Top 75: Surge Worldwide Healthcare Communications
"It's challenging, having to keep focused on the business with those companies while helping them [with their restructuring], too," says Carleen Kelly, Surge president. "They are going through challenges and you are trying to guide them, to keep the work going, to be inspirational and motivational."Surge's team not only retained the Merck professional cardiovascular franchise, including Vytorin and Zetia; but post-merger Merck delivered a new assignment without a pitch. "We feel that is due to having a satisfied and loyal client," beams Kelly.
The Merck win, which Kelly declined to name, caps a decent year for this shop, which is part of Omnicom's Corbett Accel Healthcare Group: several wins and a mix of work on products spanning pre-launch to mature brands. (Kelly declined to state revenue growth.)In May of this year, an existing client tapped Surge to work on the global launch of an unnamed cardiovascular compound. At the client's behest, Surge reached out to its network to partner, and the two finally settled on TBWA/WorldHealth's Paris branch for the global assist.
"Clients are looking to agencies to fill an evolving need for stronger global approaches to strategy and messaging," Kelly says. "Can team leaders, working in specific brands, work more in a brand-stewardship approach with other marketing partners? Whether inside CAHG or outside our network, how well do we integrate and collaborate with additional marketing partners in supporting a brand?"Those skills will be pressed into service on another CV assignment which came to Surge last year: professional AOR for Takeda's hypertension franchise, including investigational compound azilsartan. As in the assignment involving TBWA, Surge will steward the azilsartan global, as well as US, launches. The agency also won new business on an unnamed antiviral product and landed Nutrisystem D, a food program designed to help manage diabetes, which Surge will target to professionals.
The agency continued its work in the antiviral space, where Surge handles vaccines as well as therapeutics, including Merck's HIV drug Isentress. The agency launched a new Isentress indication—first-line therapy for treatment-naïve patients. It also worked on message-platform development for Actelion and its phase III insomnia compound Almorexant, which Surge landed in early 2009.On the personnel front, in March of this year Surge hired Enrique Heredia as SVP, executive creative director. The agency had been without an ECD for a year and a half. Also, Surge added a new group: channel planning—designed to assist clients in making more efficient marketing-channel decisions.
Kelly would like to see pitch activity pick up. If the last 12 months are any indication, budgets are loosening. "Accounts we've won [in 2009] are starting to prepare for the marketplace," she says. "This year, because of those new business wins, will be a great one for us."

Teen librarian from the city that reads, but I now live in the city that never sleeps.
Once a year I help plan a shopping-cart race, but I need to keep those matters mostly secret. The Idiotarod is typically held the last weekend of January and I was afraid it might conflict with Midwinter, but it looks like I'll make it back just in time.
I work at Queens Library and last year I adapted a Learning 2.0 program there: Queens Library Learning 2.0. I'm also a member of PLA and YALSA. I was recently named to the Alex Awards Committee, and my appointment starts February 2009.

Massachusetts police have arrested a resident of that state who allegedly sent a threatening e-mail to Florida state Rep. Will Snyder over the Republican's proposal to bring an Arizona-style immigration law to Florida.
``You better just stop that ridiculous law if you value your and your family's lives, a-----, the e-mail said.
Snyder told The Miami Herald and St. Petersburg Times that police had identified the suspect as Manuel E. Pintado, 47.
``It's a pretty thoughtless letter, don't you think?'' said Snyder in his trademark low-key style.
Snyder said he received the e-mail just one hour after the Tucson shooting rampage targeting Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz. Snyder referred the matter to the Martin County Sheriff's Office on Jan. 9, and the office soon contacted authorities in Northampton, Mass.
Massachusetts police said Pintado acknowledged sending the e-mail from a local Starbucks. A self-described ``political activist,'' Pintado said he was concerned Snyder wanted to undo the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees citizenship to those born in the United States.
Pintado said he didn't mean to kill Snyder, but ``was glad the e-mail made [Snyder] nervous,'' according to an arrest affidavit.
Pintado was charged with attempted corruption by threat of a public official and written threat to kill or injure, which are second- and third-degree felonies, respectively.
Snyder, a former Miami police officer who now lives in Stuart, said the incident shows that heated rhetoric is an unfortunate part of public service.

Social Security benefits cannot be attached or garnished by a creditor to pay most types of debt, according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. There are some exceptions. Social Security benefits or Disability benefits can be garnished to pay child support, alimony and Federal taxes, explains the Social Security Administration.Continue Reading
Though Social Security Disability, or SSD, benefits can be garnished to pay child support, Supplemental Security Income, or SSI, cannot, according to the U.S. Department of Child Support Services. SSD is considered to be a replacement for money earned by employment, so it is therefore attachable. SSI, however, is considered a form of public assistance granted to prevent the recipient from falling into poverty and is not considered employment income, and therefore it is not attachable.
Other types of debt, such as credit card debt, cannot be garnished from Social Security benefits, explains the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. When a bank receives a garnishment order, as of 2011, it is obligated under Federal law to protect up two months of payments from garnishment and to notify the account holder of the protected amount. If the benefits are exempt, the account holder must next fight the garnishment. Funds must be electronically deposited into the recipient's bank account to be protected, and they cannot be transferred to another account.Learn more about Social Services

See how one of the country's top apple farms works
Bord Bia, in conjunction with the Irish Apple Growers Association, will hold the inaugural 'Blossom Walk' which will take place on Saturday, May 3.
As part of the event, seven apple farms and orchards nationwide will open their doors and gates to the public.
The Apple Farm at Moorstown outside Clonmel is inviting members of the public to enjoy a guided walk, engage with the grower, Con Traas, learn about the history of the farm and discover apple growing techniques.
There will also be an opportunity to purchase some of the produce, which includes apple and mixed fruit juice, cider vinegar, and more recently cider.
Mr. Traas, who is chair of the Irish Apple Growers Association, has introduced new crops over the years, adding raspberries, cherries and pears to the strawberries, apples and plums that were already grown over 45 acres. The majority of this fruit is still sold from the farm shop direct to consumers.
The value of Irish apple production is almost €4 million according to Bord Bia and trade estimates. Culinary and dessert apple production accounts for 80% of the production value (€3.15 million), while cider apple production accounts for 20% (€0.78 million). Approximately 15,000 tonnes of Irish apples are sold each year, with culinary apples representing 47% of total sales. There are currently 83 commercial apple growers in Ireland.
Speaking ahead of 'Blossom Walk', Olan McNeece from the Irish Apple Growers Association said - "We look forward to offering visitors a unique opportunity to see how the Irish apple growing industry works first-hand. While no entrance fee will be charged, any donations made on the day will be given to "Blossom Ireland", a very worthwhile charity who provide dedicated, therapy-led camps and after-school activities for children with intellectual disabilities."
