The authors and performers Leja Jurišić and Teja Reba, in collaboration with visual artist Petra Veber, test the limits of freedom of speech and performing on stage, straightforward and without hesitation, in front of the eyes of a spectator who is free in their astonishment when they cross the thin lines between what can and what shouldn't be done on stage. Shouldn't be done in order to make it work. An apparently endlessly easy (artistic) freedom is right at the point where the thought of one person stops and the thought of the other starts. Hence it not only brings rédemption but also a demand for constant participation; Kristeva, Reagan, Monroe, Lennon, the unknown and – you.

New species of snake discovered in Brazil looks like penis
We're not sure we'd like to stumble upon this strange creature while on holiday in the Amazon, but a new type of snake has been discovered in Brazil - and it looks like a penis.
According to The Sun, biologists came across the Atretochoana eiselti, which they've dubbed the 'floppy snake' while examining a hydroelectric dam on a river in the Amazon.
The creature, which resembles a male manhood, is eyeless and from a family of 'blind snake' closely related to the salamander.
Six of the snakes were found living at the bottom of the Madeira River in the northern state of Rondonia in Brazil.
Julian Tupan, a biologist for the Santo Antonio Energy company which is building the dam, told Brazil's Estadao website: 'Of the six we collected, one died, three were released back into the wild and another two were kept for studies.
Tupan said that very little is known about the lungless and limbless amphibians.
He said: 'Despite looking like snakes, they aren't reptiles and are more closely related to salamanders and frogs.
'We think the animal breathes through its skin, and probably feeds on small fish and worms, but there is still nothing proven.
He added: 'The Amazon is a box of surprises when it comes to reptiles and amphibians. There are still much more to be discovered.'
The creatures were discovered last November when a stretch of the Madeira River was being drained but they were only made known to the public yesterday after their genus was finally confirmed.

To the taxi-driver-with-the-PhD, add a new metaphor for Canada's immigration system – the entrepreneur with the one-way ticket home. People who don't have the capital themselves, but can prove there is money (and the promise of job creation) behind their idea, should be welcomed to Canada, and this country needs to consider rule changes to let them stay.
As reported by Joe Friesen in Friday's Globe, Canada is turning away too many people of promise. Romanians Mircea Pasoi and Cristian Strat have venture capital support for their software start-up, but not the required $300,000 in personal assets to qualify as potential immigrants under the federal entrepreneurship program.
The capital requirements aren't the only deterrent. Other things that entrepreneurs value – speed, flexibility – are missing in the program, which can take as long as eight years to consider a visa application. Jason Kenney, the Immigration Minister, was right to put a moratorium on new applications and to order a review of the program.
Canada has both human capital and financial capital. But it is not so good at finding connectors who can bring new ideas and existing cash together to create businesses and jobs. That is a special group, and application forms alone won't bring such entrepreneurs to the fore – it takes their presence in Canada, and then, a demonstrated ability to convince investors.
Addressing research-oriented entrepreneurship is especially important because our existing leadership has let us fall behind: The "State of the Nation 2010" report of the Science, Technology and Innovation Council recently found that "from 2007 to 2009 Canadian industry research and development declined further in both current and real dollar terms." And from 2000 to 2007, "information and communications technology investment intensity was less than half of U.S. levels."
So reform is needed, and one idea worth considering is the Start-Up Visa, in which entrepreneurs (often recent university graduates) could get a work permit if they have a given amount of venture capital backing. We have a competitive interest in this; legislation to create such a visa has already been tabled in the U.S. Congress, and would have a good chance of passing once that country recovers from its economic malaise.
In economic terms, we often think of immigration as a way to fill jobs and put existing skills to good use in Canada. Let's not forget that entrepreneurship and innovation, in and of themselves, are skills we need more of.

When he brings her home, suddenly the house she hated is perfect, she finds the closet she filled to capacity ridiculous, and the man she's barred from her bed is all she wants.
Makenzie knows something is wrong with her, but being married to the man she can hardly remember is more than she ever dreamed. She can't remember her husband more than the feeling of safety he inspires, but as she watches him and the way he tiptoes around her and measures every word before he speaks it, and her memories come back in pieces, she's torn between discovering the truth about herself and enjoying the contentment she feels with the life she barely recognizes.
Resisting their attraction to one another is harder than either is prepared to deal with, and together they have to figure out if they can overcome the secrets of their past or if it's time to say goodbye once and for all.

Independent Reviewer for Archaeolibrarian - I Dig Good Books!
What a perfect quick read! It was packed full of love, heartache, yearning, and sex appeal! This story has the feels in it and for it being such a quick read the author did a stand up job really pumping in all the emotions you get while reading it. I very much enjoyed reading it.
One thing that tends to happen a lot with novellas is that there are of course details left out to keep the story short, I get it. However, with this story, I was pleasantly surprised that it really didn't feel like there was lacking detail. It felt like the story was told how it needed to be and fit perfectly within a novella storyline. I applaud the author in her ability to write a quick intense, soul shattering story that keeps you interested from the first to last page.
Details and descriptions are great. They don't leave you hanging but don't paint every single detail for you. There are some details that are left to your imagination a little bit regarding the characters and is particularly a favorite of mind. You are able to kind of picture the characters how the author wants them to be portrayed but you get to add a little detail on how your mind sees them as you read about them. A+ to the author on that one.
So if you're in the market for a quick, sweet, emotional book full of love, check this story out. Go grab yourself a copy and start reading. You'll enjoy it, I promise!

If the audio folders all have the Music folder template, then you could use Apply to All Folders to set on these folders the way you like it with details view and have it applied to all "Music" folders.
Hope this helps,

After delivering a 17-year-old girl's second baby, certified nurse midwife Olivia Kroening-Roche walked the patient — who she said suffered physically, socially and economically from being a teenage parent — to a nearby clinic so she could receive a birth control implant.
In an email to Oregon Medicaid officials, Kroening-Roche wrote that the girl had not received a highly effective form of contraceptive following her first delivery, and she wanted to make sure she did this time. She was writing to express support for a policy being considered that would reimburse providers for placing contraceptives immediately after women give birth or have abortions.
"It is hard to imagine why this would not be enacted," wrote Kroening-Roche, who works at Women's Healthcare Associates in Tualatin.
Oregon's Medicaid program, called the Oregon Health Plan, already covers so-called intrauterine devices, contraceptives that providers place into the uterus, and contraceptive implants, which providers place under the skin. Relatively few women use them, however, despite lots of evidence showing they work.
Most providers don't place the contraceptives until follow-up visits weeks or months after deliveries. In many cases, that's because the state Medicaid program pays hospitals a lump sum for deliveries, but that doesn't include contraceptives. That leaves the chance that a women could become pregnant before her follow-up visit.
On top of that, lots of women miss the follow-up visit altogether, said Dr. Catherine Livingston, associate medical director of Oregon's Health Evidence Review Commission, the group that determines what's covered under OHP. Plenty of factors keep women from the appointments: money, a loss of insurance or a lack of transportation or child care, she said.
"They could become pregnant immediately, or they just may never make it into their follow-up visit and they may get pregnant six months later, just because they never had the opportunity to obtain effective contraception," Livingston said.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services sent out a notice to states in April urging them to cover IUDs and implants immediately following births. Oregon had already been considering the new policy when that notice came out, Livingston said.
Riskier, but worth it?
The new policy, however, would be unlikely to change much in Central Oregon if it's approved. That's because it's not the lack of reimbursement that prevents local providers from placing IUDs after birth, it's the risk that they'll become dislodged from the uterus.
The uterus is a muscle that's large and stretched out after giving birth, said Dr. Barbara Newman, medical director for St. Charles Health System's Center for Women's Health in Redmond. It contracts as it returns to its normal size.
"Those contractions also aid in pushing out a foreign body — in this case, an IUD," she said.
While there's not a wealth of research comparing the risk of expulsion — as doctors call it — when IUDs are placed immediately after birth and weeks or months later, the studies that do exist show the former carries a higher risk.
A 2010 study found the devices fell out within six months in 12 out of 50 women who had them placed immediately postpartum compared with two out of 46 women who received them six to eight weeks after giving birth. The study, published in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology, found that placing IUDs right after delivery carries a 24 percent expulsion rate, compared with 4.4 percent if there is a delay.
A 2015 Cochrane Collaboration report analyzed all existing research — 15 studies — comparing the expulsion rate between IUDs placed immediately postpartum and following a delay. After six months, the group concluded that while more women in immediate placement groups had experienced expulsion, that group had an overall higher rate of IUD use compared to delayed placement groups.
The Cochrane report concluded that the benefit of immediate placement may outweigh the higher risk of expulsion. Further, postpartum follow-up visits can help detect expulsion, as can teaching women about the symptoms.
That was the same conclusion drawn by Oregon's Health Evidence Review Commission in its draft guidance proposing to cover IUDs and implants directly postpartum. The commission also cited research that found the practice saves money by avoiding unintended pregnancies.
The commission cited a 2015 National Committee for Quality Assurance statistic that found 62 percent of women relying on government insurance programs such as Medicaid attended their postpartum checkups in 2014.
At St. Charles, however, Newman said that rate is much higher: 78 percent of patients attend their six-week follow-up visit. She attributed that to the health system's practice of having behavioral health providers keep in contact with patients.
"There is a bond that develops," she said.
Livingston, with the commission, said 78 percent seems "unusually high" compared with published literature.
"But I would also say that means that 22 percent of women who may have wanted effective LARC contraception would not have obtained it, and a significant proportion of them could end up with unintended pregnancies," she said.
Newman said St. Charles providers talk to patients about their risk for unintended pregnancies between delivery and the six-week postpartum visit.
"We do recommend for them for their own health and for the health of another pregnancy that they not get pregnant within that time," she said.
'Why would I go back?'
In 2012, South Carolina became the first state whose Medicaid program covered IUDs and implants immediately following delivery.
Like in other states, women in South Carolina just weren't coming back for their follow-up visits, which caused the use of IUDs and implants to be low, said Deborah Billings, director of Choose Well SC, a group that educates women about birth control and helps reduce barriers to access. Sometimes that was because they couldn't get out of work, sometimes they couldn't find child care.
Or, "just feeling OK. I feel good. I feel fine, so I'm not going to go back," Billings said. "Why would I go back?"
Billings helped compile a January toolkit on the subject to help hospitals implement the state's policy. So far, 19 state Medicaid programs have adopted policies that reimburse for IUDs and implants immediately postpartum, according to the report.
In South Carolina, Medicaid reimburses providers for the birth control — both the device and the insertion — separately from the delivery, Billings said.
Oregon hasn't yet decided how it would reimburse, but it would likely be a separate payment as well, Livingston said.
Dozens of providers emailed the commission in June and July expressing support for the proposed change, which the commission could approve as early as October.
Dr. Rita Sharshiner, an obstetrician with Oregon Health and Science University, wrote that she works with underserved populations and sees firsthand the consequences of not providing essential services to those who need it most.
"Unintended pregnancies can occur as early as 3 to 4 weeks postpartum, long before most women present for their postpartum clinic visit," she wrote, adding that such short interval pregnancies are associated with a higher risk of preterm birth and other complications.
Some of the providers, however, said it's important that the same coverage be available to women who rely on Citizen Alien Waived Emergent Medical, a program that provides health care for low-income, undocumented individuals in emergency situations, including pregnancy, since that coverage ends before a follow-up visit. Livingston said the commission is aware and exploring the issue.
