A HEARTBROKEN mum who bravely shared a photo of her unborn baby boy clutching her hand after she lost him in a tragic car crash has spoken of her pain for the first time.
Six-months pregnant Emma Fairbairn, 21, was forced to give birth to her 1lb 6oz stillborn child when he was found to have no heartbeat following the accident.
The photograph was taken while Emma was given all the time she needed to help her grieve for the son she intended to call Flynn, and later shared on Facebook.
After the picture sparked a flood of support and tributes, Emma, from Pembrokeshire, said she still hasn't come to terms with her tragic loss.
She told Wales Online: "When I talk about it it feels like I'm telling a story about someone else. It still doesn't feel real.
"I still think I'm going to have a baby in September. A part of me doesn't want to have any children again – I just want him."
A fundraising campaign has been set up to give him "the perfect funeral" and has already raised more than £1,235.
Writing the appeal, Emma's close friend Jasmine McGinley said: "After having a lovely pregnancy Emma was involved in a horrible car accident.
"Emma felt her baby kicking away in the ambulance and, after waiting for a bed and having a physical examination, she finally got to hear his heartbeat at 3pm.
"It was too fast, so she was sent for a scan. The scan showed his heart beat has returned to normal, and he looked completely fine.
"Everything seemed okay at that point and she was transferred to another hospital for overnight observation.
"After she was settled and the midwife came to see her at 10pm to check the baby again – she couldn't find a heartbeat."
Emma was given another scan at the West Wales General Hospital in Carmarthen, West Wales, which confirmed the baby's heart had stopped beating.
Jasmine added: "Emma is heartbroken, although we can't take away her pain we can help give baby Flynn a perfect funeral."
Police are investigating the crash between Emma's red Toyota and a blue Fiat.
The accident happened near Emma's home in Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire, at 11.40am on May 25.
Any money left over from the GoFundMe appeal will be donated to charity.

We are dedicated to achieving a stable, natural, and healthy dog population through the following five goals:
1. Reducing the number of dogs bred and sold by irresponsible backyard bredders, and by association, reducing the number of irresponsible pet owners;
2. Increasing the number of dogs spayed and neutered;
3. Increasing the number of licensed dogs;
4. Reducing the number of dogs bred and sold commercially by larger breeders, i.e., "puppy mills"; and
5. Increasing the number of dogs adopted from shelters and rescue organizations..
Our strategy is to build a nationwide network of pro-active volunteer advocates focused on preventive measures and
not solely on after-the-fact reactive animal welfare activities.
We believe that the first three (preventive) goals offer the greatest benefit for dogs for the volunteer effort expended.
Reducing indiscriminate breeding by countless 'backyard breeders' across the country (goal 1) and providing more affordable spaying and neutering (goal 2), taken together, will establsh a framework for more responsible pet ownership everywhere. Effecting substantial improvements to the dog licensing system (goal 3) is critical as it generates revenues for programs and staff to support the other goals.
Our mission also includes reducing breeding by the larger commercial breeders and increasing adoptions, however, these important activities already receive tremendous attention from humane societies, animal control agencies and volunteers, the latter heavily involved in adoptions and rescues.
Our primary focus, therefore, is to enlist volunteers to prevent excessive production of litters, whether from indiscriminate breeding or due to owner carelessness or spaying/neutering being unaffordable. We also believe that a substantial portion of public funds expended on 'traditional' animal control, i.e., impound and all-too-often euthanize, should be redirected to 'preventive' animal control.

Challenging Certainty: The Utility and History of Counterfactualism
History and Theory, Vol.49, No.1 (Wiley-Blackwell, February 2010) pp.38-57
This article explores the historical background and methodological uses of counterfactual ('what if?') thought experiments in both history and historiography, including a defence of its use to avoid several key failings made by contemporary historians. 'Challenging Certainty' was in the top ten of articles downloaded from History and Theory in 2010, with 661 downloads in ten months.
Doctoral Thesis
The Mythology of Democracy: Epistemology, Deliberation and Participation
This thesis argues that theories of democracy are best understood in terms of their underlying presuppositions as to the scope – and potential scope – of human knowledge. It offers a new justification of democracy, suggesting specific consequentialist grounds while critiquing instrumental and deontic approaches to the problem. The thesis then turns to a consideration of the evidence for widespread public ignorance, and argues that such evidence cannot form a sound basis for Platonist, epistocratic arguments against the universal franchise. Deliberative democracy is similarly problematic, founded upon a badly-understood concept of 'public reason', and intrinsically threatening to the democratic principle of political anonymity, and therefore, due to a host of well-documented social-psychological effects, to the universal franchise as well.

Facebook has confirmed that four high-ranking managers are moving on from the company, news that will fuel speculation that the social networking giant may suffer a talent drain in the wake of its IPO.
Asked for comment, a Facebook spokeswoman said on Friday that Ethan Beard, Director of Platform Partnerships; Kate Mitic, Platform Marketing Director; Jonathan Matus, Mobile Platform Marketing Manager; and Ben Blumenfeld, Design Manager, have all in the past week or so resigned from the company.
The spokeswoman declined further comment, but each official addressed their departure from the company on Facebook and blog posts. In those public posts, the officials indicated that, while they enjoyed their time at Facebook, they are ready for new, more exciting challenges.
In a public Facebook post on August 1, Beard said that he had decided to leave Facebook "with mixed emotions" after almost five years, but that he is proud of his team and their work, and is confident that he is leaving the company's application platform in "good hands."
Beard, who prior to Facebook worked at Google between 2003 and 2008, where he was director of new business development, didn't specify what he plans to do next but refers to it as his "next adventure."
Also in a public post the same day, Mitic said that after two "amazing" years at Facebook, she's moving on to work on a mobile startup company she's launching based in Palo Alto, California.
Matus sounded a similar note, saying in his post that "the time has come to embark on a new road, a new adventure. I've decided to leave Facebook to explore new directions and entrepreneurial ideas."
And on Thursday, Blumenfeld said that, after a very satisfying run with Facebook since 2007, he's moving on to the Designer Fund, an angel fund for designers he co-founded. The Designer Fund seeks to support entrepreneurial designers whose businesses aim to have positive social impact.
"When looking at what I wanted in the next phase of my career I came up with needs like the desire for growth beyond design, to create something from scratch, to be an entrepreneur, and to help the broader design community," he wrote in a blog post.
If these four departures represent a larger trend on its staff, Facebook may need to make some changes to retain high-ranking managers that, in this post-IPO era for the company, are lured away by what they consider more challenging and rewarding opportunities with smaller companies and startups.

The worshipping community of Christ Church is of course larger than those of us who are together on Sundays or at other times on the church 'campus'. There are members who are nearly or completely housebound. For the most part they are visited by individual members of the church and by ministry team members, including the Home Communion Team.
The team currently consists of 9 members. We aim to take a communion service to individuals at least once a month. We visit members of the church in their homes and also hold communion services for the residents of Westgate House and Highfields nursing home. This ministry is available to anyone who needs it; permanently or temporarily (after an operation or illness for instance).
As well as communion we also have folk who will visit for a natter over a cuppa. They offer pastoral care for those who need it, praying with members and supporting them in whatever ways we can.
Focus Together is a group that meets in the church centre on the third Thursday of each month. Membership is open to everyone, members of Christ Church, members of other churches and followers of other faiths or no faith at all.
The vision of the group is to provide a Christian centred fellowship for single people or couples of both genders and of all ages. We believe that through evenings of interest and entertainment we can strengthen the fellowship within Christ Church, reach out to the community, explain our faith and demonstrate our commitment to the teaching of Jesus.
To entice you a typical year's programme would have visiting speakers who inform and intrigue us with talks on a wide range of subject matter on varying topics, including The Salvation Army Today, Tales of a Childhood in China, the History of Wodson Park and 400 years of the New River. We had tea in the garden of Westill house, an evening of music and went as a group to the Isobel Hospice carol concert at Haileybury school. We hold an annual 'Missionary Supper' where were fortunate to be joined by All Nations students who share food, fellowship and stories from around the world.

We were always happy to see a G-Class running around in the 80s and 90s knowing that someone went through a lot of trouble (and expense) to get it here. That was the back when these things were for eccentrics and fanatics, not wealthy soccer moms and celebrities.
This 1987 300GD has a clear NJ title and if we were to guess, we'd say it's a recent import and not a grey market survivor. We see another G class peeking out in some of the photos so the seller may be an importer, or just an enthusiast. Either way, and however / whenever it got here, it checks all of the boxes for us.
A straight six diesel mated to a 5-speed manual is a dream setup, though the seller rightfully notes it's not the fastest combination when motivating this much mass. That motor was sold in the US in a few turbocharged variations so it may be possible to squeeze a bit more out of it, but you shouldn't. What it really means is that parts for the motor might not be too bad to get stateside. The transmission and diffs though may be a different story.
Low miles show on the clean interior which is about as German as things get. Standard Mercedes buckets are straight out of any 80s Merc and look much harsher than they are. Subtle plaid on the door cards is a nice touch on an otherwise menacing vehicle. The seller lists the paint as black, but the photos read charcoal to us which we hope it is.
Though we love the uniqueness of the 2-doors and convertible versions, the 4-door is the way to go in terms of practicality. We're already making plans to have some friends in NJ check this one out, but our only minor concerns are with a hole in the dash along with a mystery switch. Our guess would be for accessory lighting, or perhaps a winch at some point. Not a big deal so long as the electrical remains generally unmessed-with.
If this was on our roster, our target price would be $15k, but we expect one in this condition to approach $25k for the right buyer. Check out the eBay Auction with 6 days remaining and what we expect to be brisk bidding.

Ricola's Quilt
This was so easy to make. No complicated piecing, just cutting and sticking. I enjoyed doing all the blanket stitching around the flowery fabric shapes. It has been tacked together in its sandwich and the binding put on. I am quilting heart shapes in the blank squares and plan to have it completed by 9th March when Ricola reaches the grand age of 15.

Star Quilt Next Stage
I have cut out all the rectangles to go between the star blocks and am now piecing it all together. Nice to be at the stage where it feels like it will one day be a quilt.

Where's the Cannabis for the Sick?
Despite passage of the law, roadblocks remain in implementation.
Virginia Jenkins isn't your typical 20-something pot smoker from Venice Beach. At age 57, she was diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer. She had been struggling with a severe cough and pain for several months prior to her diagnosis that eventually opened her eyes to medicinal marijuana.
"It was a shock to me and I didn't know what to feel, I didn't know whether to cry, get mad, or get angry, but then I realized I was always in pain and I didn't know that I had cancer," Jenkins said.
She later discovered the disease had already spread throughout her entire body. Her doctor suggested she leave Guam as soon as possible to seek better medical care in the U.S. mainland.
"It took a while for me to take it all in, and what really helped me and gave me strength was turning to prayer. I take every day as if it was my last and I give it all to God," she said.
Jenkins described the pain associated with her cancer as unbearable. "My doctor prescribed medication for pain, but I didn't like the feeling of it," Jenkins said. The pills—meant to ease a stabbing pain in her neck and back—left her worse off than before she started.
"I felt like I was gonna die," she revealed. "I felt my head was about to burst open. My sister had to massage my head and it was so unbearable that it wasn't even helping me at all. The pain did go away, but the effect that it gave me…I felt very weak, I couldn't do anything."
Like countless cancer patients before her, Jenkins decided to try an alternative method of pain relief: marijuana.
"And that's when it helped me ease my pain. It gave me appetite to eat," Jenkins said. "Because I lost 14 pounds within a month's time, it's been helping. It helps me relax. It helps me go to sleep."
Marijuana is used to treat medical conditions ranging from cancer, arthritis, and post-traumatic stress disorder to depression, anxiety, epilepsy, and glaucoma. But because Guam's medicinal marijuana program has yet to get off the ground, Jenkins has decided to self-medicate by going to the black market.
"I call my supplier the doctor because I can't get it from my [real] doctor," she said. "It's helping me, and I'm not ashamed to say that I smoke it just to help me deal with my pain."
But with one collapsed lung and cancer in the other, smoking marijuana (as opposed to eating it or using oils) is the least ideal way for her to access the drug's therapeutic effects. But with no dispensaries in operation on Guam, Jenkins does not know where else to go to get the help she needs.
"I'm just thinking of cooking it as a tea and drinking it as a tea, but I really think that Guam should look into it. The lawmakers, the governor, the leaders, they really need to look into this," Jenkins said.
Joaquin KC Concepcion II Compassionate Cannabis Use Act of 2013
In fact, elected leaders have been looking into medicinal marijuana for several years now. Guam voters passed a measure allowing for the implementation of medicinal marijuana through a referendum back in 2014. However, two and a half years later, the program has yet to get off the ground. Known as the Joaquin (KC) Concepcion II Compassionate Cannabis Use Act of 2013, it would allow for the use of cannabis for medicinal purposes. The measure was named after local musician KC "Savage K" Concepcion, who died from stomach cancer in 2013. His father, Kin Concepcion, said witnessing medicinal marijuana and its impact on his son's final years is what led him to become an advocate.
"He was given three months to live. It was stage 4, it was very severe. The cancer was gastric cancer, stomach cancer," Concepcion said. Soon after learning the news he took his son, KC, to Alabama and Washington to seek better medical care. While originally given only three months to live, he would instead battle the disease for nearly two years.
"We went through the motions, we went through the chemotherapy and all this stuff, but he needed help. After each chemo session, he was useless for the rest of the day. Finally he took it upon himself and he went and he asked his oncologist for his medical records, and I said, 'What are you doing?' And he said, 'I'm gonna go and see if I can get certification for the use of medicinal marijuana.' And he did," Concepcion recalled.
That's the moment when everything changed. KC would treat himself with a dose of cannabis oil after each four-to-five-hour session of chemotherapy. While being rendered incapacitated in prior chemotherapy sessions, KC experienced immediate relief after his first dose of cannabis oil.
"The first time that he used it he came home after chemo, and I was making dinner and I said, 'Hey, do you want to eat something?' He said, 'No, I don't want to eat'. He went to the back of the house and he took the oil and stuck it under his tongue and then he went upstairs. Twenty to thirty minutes later he came downstairs hungry as heck, and he said, 'Mm, I'm ready to eat,' like nothing ever happened," Concepcion recounted.
The change in behavior even surprised KC's oncologist, who noticed the stark difference in his demeanor.
"He was in so much pain and just really bad off that he had to use a walker for his last visit to the oncologist before he took medicinal marijuana, and he was just, it was almost like hopeless, and he was just weak," Concepcion said. "He came back after he took medicinal marijuana, and we were surprised, and told him, 'Hey, you're not supposed to be walking, you just waltzed in here like nothing ever happened, and he said, 'I'm taking medicinal marijuana.' Now, you have to remember that the oncologists over there in the state of Washington at that particular time did not really advocate for the use of medicinal marijuana. They are doctors, federally approved, but they said, 'Hey, if it works for you, then it works for you' without saying anything else after that."
Amended Law
The benefits of medicinal marijuana are well documented, but it is not the lack of belief in the drug's therapeutic properties that has prevented it from moving forward. Department of Public Health and Social Services Director James Gillan explained that the agency's two years of work to implement the original law went out the window when that statute was amended by the Guam Legislature in 2016. An amended version of the Joaquin KC Concepcion II Compassionate Cannabis Use Act of 2013 was passed last year in response to concerns from a local medicinal cannabis advocacy group, the Grassroots Guam. The group argued that the rules and regulations crafted by Public Health under the previous law failed to serve the best interest of cannabis patients.
When the amended law went into effect in January of 2017, the process to create standards had to start over, according to Gillan. "I've made it known to people, I think this law is the most ridiculously illogical thing I've ever read, and despite all the good intentions of the people who wanted to change it from the original, you know we already had a set of rules and regulations that were ready to go," he added.
New Requirements
Gillan contended that there are three major changes stemming from the new law. First, Public Health was forced to begin accepting cannabis applications for both businesses and patients 30 days after the law went into effect. Second, a certified patient-physician relationship is now required. And thirdly, a laboratory considered optional in the previous law is now mandated.
Half a year later and over half a dozen patients have now registered and become certified to use medicinal marijuana. However, businesses are not yet able to begin operations. The delay is due to the lack of approved standards, which Gillan said are still being drafted by Public Health.
"So even though someone could say, 'I want a permit' or 'I want an approved application, and I'm willing to pay the nonrefundable fee', they still won't be able to conduct any business because they won't be measured against anything," Gillan explained.
He added that the standards are being drafted with limited assistance from the Attorney General's Office. However, because of the program's complexity, strict local and federal requirements and the agency's limited amount of manpower, the process has been slow and tedious. Once these drafts are finalized they will be forwarded to the AG and Legislature for final approval.
Some areas that need to be worked out include how to certify the patient-physician relationship. Gillan said the requirement might force Public Health to inspect health records to confirm doctor visits. "Because there have been cases in the states where people have gotten certifications and there's no evidence of a patient visit," he explained. "So if we're serious about the medical nature of this application of marijuana, then I do think we have that authority." Another area being worked on is a seed-to-sale system that would track the product from its inception to final sale.
However, Gillan said the most critical and unresolved component of the program is the required laboratory. The medicinal marijuana lab would test cannabis products for labeling purposes and to ensure safety.
"These are people who are sick, these are people who are in pain, they want to have access—some who cannot smoke—so they're not gonna be getting a product they can smoke. It will be oil or something they can mix," Gillan said. "If you don't have a laboratory that says, 'Yes, the THC level in this product or this oil is acceptable, and it has no pesticides,' then the real serious part is when you distill some of this product, there are pesticides in it. The distillation process also increases the strength of the pesticide, so you could give someone oil, effectively poisoning them. So the lab is really important."
But because marijuana is still outlawed at the federal level, any new lab must be funded with private sector or local money. While the Guam Legislature has set aside $100,000 for the lab from the Healthy Futures Fund, Gillan said that money is only enough to cover the lab's administrative expenses. The bottom line is that without additional money from the government or from private investors, the program cannot move forward. To make matters worse, Gillan admitted he is not aware of any companies interested in investing in the lab business.
"If we don't have the laboratory that can certify what's being grown, what's being manufactured is safe, I don't see any way to move forward," he said.
Gillan wrote to Speaker BJ Cruz explaining the dilemma earlier this year, with Cruz telling the Guamanian Magazine, "Although DPHSS has not been clear about its funding needs regarding this lab, I am actively working with the Office of Finance and Budget to remove any restrictions for this purpose and add additional funding where possible."
For Concepcion, the ongoing delays in implementing the law named after his only son are frustrating. "No lab, no medicinal marijuana. Right now we're struggling to find someone that will invest in a laboratory so we can have the health and safety issues of that laboratory well secured," he said. "That's fine, but that should have been discussed since the very beginning. Let's see, 2014…it's now 2017, that's three years, so how much longer?"
Grassroots Guam Managing Partner Andrea Pellacani said she is also frustrated by the amount of time that has gone by without a functioning program. "We know our government is busy, we know our agency directors are busy, we don't begrudge any of that, we don't doubt any of that," Pellacani said. "But for me, the biggest disappointment is that this is a mandate of the people. There aren't many things that the people of Guam mandate our government to do and ask directly for, this is one of the very few things. The electorate asked for it, it's a mandate of the people, and yet to stand up the program has been…we just have felt that there has been a lot of roadblocks that have been put in place."
Pellacani said the organization's goal is to promote the responsible use of marijuana and to advocate for patient rights. "I think of the 19,692 people that did vote for medicinal marijuana, I think a lot of us do have a personal story to tell. My father died from cancer, and had I known anything about Phoenix Tears (a medicinal marijuana oil) or anything besides having to have to trust my doctor to give him some medications that maybe he shouldn't have been taking, that could have given him a better quality of life. I wish I knew it at the time. And I think if you talk to any one of our partners at Grassroots Guam, we all have a story to tell" she said.
In fact, the group was instrumental in pushing for the law's revision in 2016, with Pellacani arguing that the amended law leaves prospective patients better off. "For all the times that the Department of Public Health is on record saying, 'Well we had rules and regulations, but they were rejected,' they neglect to say that it wasn't very supportive of safe access for patients. So that is our goal," she said.
But while cannabis patients can now get certified, she's hoping for more progress when it comes to cannabis businesses. "That's where the holdup is, so really, essentially there is a legal demand with patients and with the way the current laws decriminalize [marijuana]—that possession under an ounce [merits just] a citation—so essentially we have a legal demand on Guam but have an illegal supply, and until we right that ship, we're going to continue to empower and enable the black market," she said.
As for Gillan's concern over the lack of a laboratory, Pellacani thought that issue will be resolved once standards are created and approved. "The one thing that is prohibiting a lab from standing up right now is there are no standards. So nobody's gonna plan a business to open a lab unless there are lab standards available, and until those become available I think to say anything else would be premature," she said.
However, one small sliver of progress made in the past year is that cannabis businesses can now apply for business licenses, thanks to legislation passed by lawmakers in July. "That doesn't mean they'd be able to sell anything. They would still have to clear with the Department of Public Health to do that. What it does do is allow them to set up their company so they can start planning, hiring legal help, getting accounting help, consultation, and that sort of thing," Pellacani said.
While the cannabis business definitely is not for the faint of heart, she believed there is a strong interest from the businesses community and demand from local patients.
Gillan even sees the potential to expand the program to benefit patients in Japan, where medicinal marijuana is outlawed and considered unconstitutional. "They allow people to leave Japan for the purpose of getting access to medicinal marijuana, so that is a potential for us," he said. "If we could get this off the ground, to have an industry that would also include people coming for medicinal purposes, that's another industry that can get built up in terms of apartments and hospice care."
However, first things first. Before the program can begin or expand, roadblocks including approved standards and a functioning lab must be resolved.
While Gillan and Pellacani may have their differences, in the end they are both working to get the program running. Gillan is even appealing to lawmakers for additional resources.
"I would ask the Legislature now to take action on funding a lab. We have enough friends across the country who can give us a pretty good estimate on what a lab would cost, and that would be fairly easy to do, put out a request for proposal, or bid, and just see whether we could get this off the ground. It cannot start for me. Without a lab, I don't see how," Gillan said.
For Concepcion, every day the program is delayed is a day lost for medicinal marijuana patients. He is asking lawmakers to step up to become part of the solution. "There's absolutely a big need. One person, that's a big need, wouldn't it be? Two people, that's still a big need. The point is that if it could prolong one life, would it be worth it? Out of those people that have cancer or another type of debilitating disease, how many people have died already? You can't count how many people have died already since 2014," he said. "You can't count how many people could have lived another month, another minute, another hour. You don't know. But I do know that there are a lot of people out there right now, you don't really want to say it, but those people that need cannabis, and the more that you delay this thing, the more we'll be denying our sick, the unhealthy, the right to survive."
Late stage cancer patient Jenkins agreed. She said that while she will soon leave Guam to receive cancer treatment in the states, she hopes the future will hold greater treatment options for the island's sick. "There are some really sick people out there that really do need this, and it will help them—it's helping me," she proclaimed.
"…essentially we have a legal demand on Guam but have an illegal supply, and until we right that ship, we're going to continue to empower and enable the black market."

Aiding Fertility with Detox
Starting a family? Congratulations ! A detox retreat can only help.
Our cleansing detox retreat will support you if you're having difficulty conceiving a baby, or if you're looking to get your system in top condition before you start.
Infertility is a fast growing global epidemic and each couple experiencing difficulty conceiving a baby will have their own story to tell. Common problems we can help with include low sperm count, hormonal imbalance, nutrition deficiency, pollutants, mental anxiety and emotional stress.
After my second miscarriage my fiancé suggested that I do something wonderful for myself that I wouldn't be able to do if I was pregnant.
So I came to Sura Detox. A decision that changed my life. We got married six weeks after the retreat and I was positively radiant. I conceived on honeymoon and at 40 gave birth to our gorgeous baby girl.
Sura Detox is transformational. *
Lilley & Daniel & Tulsi.
Past clients wanting to start a family felt our detox was fundamental to their subsequent success.
Many who had tried IVF unsuccessfully for years, quickly conceived after following our programme, which consists of a 7-day juice fast with colonics, coaching, and on-going nutritional recommendations from Dao.
On top of that, they reported improved health and greater awareness and confidence around feeding their growing child, before and after its birth.
It's a well known fact that stress can play a major part in difficulties with conception, which is why we offer powerful emotional support designed to help you consider aspects of your life that may need changing.
I came to Sura Detox in April 2009 at the age of 41 having experienced 5 recurrent miscarriages. The retreat renewed my energy levels and mentally prepared me to welcome another pregnancy. I found that I was pregnant again in July 2009 and although I was apprehensive for the first three months I somehow knew that everything was going to be OK this time.
My body was ready for the fantastic journey towards motherhood and I enjoyed a healthy and calm pregnancy: welcoming all the incredible changes that were going on.
There is no doubt in my mind, that the rest, the detox, and the nutritional information alll contributed to my easy pregnancy this time. My daughter is a testiment to the wonders of the body and the Sura process. *
Johanna H.
You can see Kate, our homeopath and life coach, as often as you chose during your detox, and your time with her is included in your package. She is known for her ability to help people see the root of their issues more clearly.
Our daily Tai Chi warm-up, Meditation & Yoga sessions will also help to release tension you might be holding in your body and mind, and facilitate deep ease and relaxation. And our wide choice of wonderful massage therapies will relieve deep seated stresses and strains on many levels.
There is a growing realisation that medical treatments are ineffective at treating disease.
Robert Winston, professor of Fertility Studies at Imperial College London
Diet & Nutrition
As much of the food that we eat is rich in hormone modifying chemistry, it's inevitable that it will have a negative effect on fertility. Meat produced through conventional farming methods is raised with growth hormones designed specifically to alter growth rates, and simply going vegetarian isn't the answer either. Phyto estrogens in grains and beans are designed by plants to enter the system and change growth patterns in mammals, again affecting such delicate systems.
Here at Sura Detox the daily nutritional talks take advantage of the break from food to get you thinking about how to proceed back into life without the usual addictions and patterns that tend to keep you stuck in a food-rut. Making simple changes to your diet, such as going organic, replacing grains and beans, and eating more fresh fruit and veg, will have a powerful effect on your health. And Nikki's fantastic, hands-on, food prep sessions on the last day will show you just how easy this is.
Things to Decrease
- Artificial sweeteners & colours
- Pesticided & processed foods
- Excessive meat & protein consumption
- Heavily fried or burned foods.
- Excessive wifi and mobile exposure
- Pain-killers, alcohol, caffeine
- Estrogen mimics (soft plastic containers, toiletries)
Things to Increase
- Fresh, ripe fruit - anti-oxidants
- Fresh, raw veg - vitamins & minerals
- Nuts & seeds - fats & oils.
- Seaweeds (kelp, dulse, nori) - trace elements.
- Filtered water - cleansing & hydrating.
- Gentle & aerobic exercise - get your energy moving
- Sunlight - stimulates the hormones
During your stay with us you'll also have a food intolerance test, which will identify elements in your diet that are contributing to a state of toxicity or excitation in the body - all working against your ability to conceive.
My husband was diagnosed with a "varicocele" - very low sperm count and slow mobility, and very little guarantee that the situation would improve after surgery. I really felt that a good "clean out" of our systems would improve our chances to concieve.
We came to Sura Detox in March and when we came back we really stuck to a healthy 70% raw eating regime... I can only say that by the end of April I was pregnant and I had a blissful pregnancy. No sickness, no major cravings.... I gave birth to a healthy boy of 9.2 lb! Very happy and I can only thank Sura detox for this to happen!.*
Manu & Irene C.
Detoxing Starts with a Clean Slate
One way of looking at morning sickness is that it is simply the body cleaning house - a natural detox patterns all its own - expressing all the junk and excesses that would otherwise interfere with a perfect pregnancy.
But why wait until you are preganant to detox - get half the work done ahead of time on a retreat.
And, of course, the body has never come across many of the toxins our modern lives present it with, so it needs all the help it can get. That is where a detox comes in.
After 7 IVF attempts (!) we were willing to try anything. So we took ourselves off to Sura Detox, and from the information I received there, I was able to calm my immune system - much cheaper than the £5000's worth of horrendous drugs I'd used.
I firmly believe that detoxing was a major contributing factor to my pregnancy.
I shall return as soon as I stop breastfeeding, for a further cleanse, and understand better how to feed my family.*

Common Egg Issues
- 11% of women (aged 15-44) have impaired fertility, and 6% are infertile. These numbers a increasing rapidly each year
- Most issues are to do with hormonal reasons around ovulation.
- Eggs produced are of poor viability
- Endometriosis distributes womb-like material across the body.
- Blocked fallopian tubes inhibit the sperm's ability to meet the egg
- Often it is a mis-shapen uterus that can make it hard for a fertilized egg to implant
Common Sperm Issues
- Sperm counts have been cut in half in the last fifty years – and 85% of that is abnormal.
- In the last few decades there has been a 200% increase in male genital birth defects.
- Male birth rates are declining. Since 1970 there have been nearly 3 million fewer baby boys.
- 85% of the sperm produced by a healthy male is DNA-damaged.
- Boys have a higher incidence of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, learning disabilities, Tourett's syndrome, cerebral palsy and dyslexia.

Personal Integrity - Denying Jesus
Every decision an individual makes in their life builds upon the next one to determine if someone has integrity or they don't.
Many people ask what determines if someone has personal integrity or not and my short answer to that is that you know by simply asking the question, can you trust them with all issues? If you can't they don't, and if you can they probably do!
Individuals are faced every day with making small and large decisions. In most cases we don't think too much about it. Decisions like flirting with a subordinate employee as a supervisor. Perhaps we fudge on a time sheet for someone we are personal friends with. Or maybe we don't hire someone because of their race or age. A more common one is where we blame someone else for something we did wrong, or worse we take credit for something we didn't do!
When it comes to personal integrity these types of decisions are no brainers but what about the more subtle ones where no one really knows what really happened. How about if we included something on an expense report that was of a personal nature? Maybe it is continually extending our lunch break by only a few minutes daily. We seem to justify these types of things by either saying that it really doesn't matter or everyone does it!
Well the truth is that there are a lot of people that do fudge the truth but it doesn't make it right. This is truly what separates those with integrity from those without it.
Leadership is often in a position to approve or disapprove the purchase of company products and sign contracts. This places them in a position where they may be offered things as what vendors might refer to as complimentary gifts. Those gifts might range from tickets to sporting events to actual gifts. It's done in an unassuming way and may seem on the surface as innocent. However, in the end it is exactly what it appears a bribe. If they don't give it to everyone then what else could it be. This is where personal integrity comes into play. Saying no changes the entire situation into one where the vendor must stand on the merits of their product or service. I personally am very turned off by a vendor that will try and do this.
Those in leadership roles also have employee's that want to give them gifts and my suggestion would be to quickly develop a policy that prohibits gifts being exchanged or given in any amount. Of course there are always exceptions but for the most part it eliminates the temptation and sets the rules up front.
The one rule of thumb that I heard early in my career and still try and live by is if you would not like to see what you did printed on the front page of a newspaper it probably is not something that promotes your personal integrity.
Remember you are the only one responsible for your integrity and no one else.
Thank you for reviewing this story on Personal Integrity - Return to Christian Inspirational Stories.

I went out for a lunchtime walk today armed with the Canon 1Dmk4 and 5Dmk3, along with the 100-400 f/4.5-5.6L IS. I wanted to do a subjective test on how they were to use, how they felt, and then when I got back a comparison of the percentage shots in focus from both cameras.
As I said in the title, this was a very unscientific test. It involved 20 minutes or so wandering around with the 100-400L on the 5Dmk3, then a swap to the 1Dmk4 and about the same length of time trying to shoot similar targets. I'll go through the images first with a bit of discussion about how I was taking the shot (conditions etc), and at the end I'll talk through some conclusions based on processing the images.
So, the 5D Mark III. Processing wise, all shots are RAW, converted to DNG with the latest ACR Beta (6.6) which is the only ACR to support the 5D Mark III at the moment – then processed in Lightroom. On the camera, I used a combination of normal single AF point and spot AF depending on the situation. The lens had IS switched on all the time.
First shot was a relatively distant squirrel running up a tree. This ended up 1.25 stops underexposed because of the backlight, so it's been pushed quite hard in Lightroom and still looks good. The image files from the 5D Mark III continue the trend of standing up to more intense post-processing than previous cameras.
It felt good shooting with the 5D Mark III. The AF speed was very good – locking on exactly where I wanted without any issue. I had the AF in the "Versatile multi purpose" case as I was planning on shooting more-or-less static subjects (like birds on the ground or squirrels).
The light levels were quite a bit lower generally at the start of my testing, mainly because I was under more shelter. This led to shutter speeds between about 1/80s and 1/250s for most of the shots. I'm pleased with how sharp they came out considering the shutter speed on some of them.
This little robin was sat on a log on the ground and I could get pretty close (the MFD of the 100-400L is 1.8m so I couldn't go any closer than that, but I think I got pretty near to that).
There were lots of blue tits around too – most of them high in tall trees so a bit out of the range of my 400mm lens, but I managed to get this one:
All in all, the 5D Mark III was a joy to use. It felt like it got every shot in focus from quickly reviewing some of them on the LCD. The subject lock was very quick and positive and it just gave a reassuring feeling. However, it's worth reading to the end as something surprised me when I looked at the images…
I did the same kind of thing with the 1D Mark IV after swapping the lens – just a quiet wander around Upton Country Park to hunt out some birds and wildlife that might stay still long enough for me to shoot!
Swapping over to the 1D Mark IV, it felt obviously heavier but in a way a little more balanced. The 100-400L is quite a heavy lens, so the heavy body does match it quite well. It was great to have the vertical grip back again – I find I naturally choose to shoot vertically with the 1D Mark IV (as you can see from the selection of pictures, compared to the 5D Mark III).
This first shot is not quite sharp at the face end as I was chasing the squirrel across the ground with the lens (you can see motion blur on the static objects like the tree trunk) and in a not quite appropriate focusing mode! But I liked the action and for the purposes of this discussion on the AF performance, it did lock where it needed to (the squirrel was about 10m away from me for this shot):
Initial thoughts when actually shooting with the 1D Mark IV was that the delay from pressing the shutter button to the shot actually being taken felt longer than the 5D Mark III. This was quite surprising, and it may be due to the fact that the shutter speed is so fast on the 1D4 (10fps) that the initial delay could feel longer than it actually is. But it was an initially noticeable difference (after 5 minutes of shooting I'd forgotten about it and it felt natural again).
The other thing I noticed was that the AF could often miss the subject I was aiming for and start to hunt. I'll put this down to not having quite the right AF setup in the camera, but it does go to show that the new 5D Mark III (and 1D-X) AF menu structure – with AF "cases" easily setting up the system as you want for certain situations – is massively better than 10′s of interacting custom functions hidden away in various menus on the 1D Mark IV! I liken the AF Cases on the 5D Mark III to Picture Styles for AF – each "case" sets a number of parameters up with a single button press.
Here's another blue tit shot – this one higher in a tree against blue sky. The metering did a good job as this was in aperture priority with no exposure compensation:
The bird flew to almost directly above my head – so I got another shot. Both of these were through fairly dense branches, using the centre focus point, and the camera got what I was after.
This, again, was a shot with some dense background and complexity in the image, and the AF system got the bird nicely. This is a heavy crop of a pretty distant bird (10+m).
Finally, a squirrel with the 1D Mark IV. Nicely lit, nicely detailed, nicely in focus. No problems.
Now, this is where it gets a bit more interesting.
When I left the park, my gut feeling was that the 5D Mark III AF performance was snappier, locked to subjects better and almost all the shots were in focus from a quick review of the LCD. The 1D Mark IV felt like a bit of a let down – AF missing the subject early on and hunting, and from quick reviewing on the LCD several of the shots were obviously out of focus.
So I got home, downloaded the images on the to the computer, then went through in Lightroom and marked them on acceptable AF (not composition or anything like that – just whether the AF hit the spot acceptably at pixel level). I was surprised by the results.
I had 74 images (once I had thrown away a couple of accidental misfires) – by chance I had 37 from the 5D Mark III and 37 from the 1D Mark IV. After I had rejected the shots which were not acceptably in focus, I had the following:
So… it goes to show that gut feelings can be wrong. I really thought the 5D Mark III had nailed most of the shots, and the 1D Mark IV had messed up, but it turns out the end results were the other way round.
It turns out that when the 1D Mark IV missed focus, it tends to miss big style. So you can see immediately on the LCD that you've missed the shot. The 5D Mark III tends to get much closer to the mark and it can appear that it's in focus until you really get down to pixel level.
When I was reading comparisons of the 1D Mark IV and the Nikon D3s (before I got the 1D Mark IV), I saw several times that people had said the same about the 1D Mark IV – in bursts it could tend to have several shots wildly out of focus whereas the D3s were all more-or-less OK.
Depending on what you want to do with the image, slightly out of focus may mean you can still use the image without any issues, so it may just be that the 5D Mark III has a more real-world useful AF system.
This really was an unscientific test without. I didn't take identical shots with both cameras, the lighting was different, the subjects were both different and difficult. It's important not to draw too many conclusions from this test, but I think I can say that in this small test, if the AF misses then the 5D Mark III tends to get closer to the mark than the 1D Mark IV.
I will say, however, that both cameras performed very well considering the shooting situation today. I'd be delighted with either of them – it's just worth noting that the although the 5D Mark III isn't a 1-series camera, it does have AF performance at least on a par and quite likely somewhat better than the 1D Mark IV.
When I finally get FoCal working with the 5D Mark III I'll be doing some detailed quantitative analysis on the AF systems of both cameras. There are new tests I want to add to FoCal which will quantify the AF tracking and low-light performance of the cameras, so hopefully I'll be able to say for definite whats good and what's not so good with the AF systems.

Burlington Radiates… On the Radio!
Burlington's community radio station 105.9FM welcomes everyone of every age and experience to bring your creative spirit and friendship to the radio waves at 'The Radiator.' New DJ orientations are hosted weekly and you don't need to know anything about radio to get involved – we'll teach and cheerlead until you're boldly sharing your interests, music, talk, or mime with the rest of Burlington. If you like community radio but not microphones, you're welcome to volunteer at the Radiator or Big Heavy World, the independent music office that hosts and manages the station, helping us manage and grow our inclusive, nonprofit organization.
"I started my radio show, Write The Book, in part because I'm a writer myself, and I went through an intense and frustrating period of writers' block in late 2007, early 2008. Needing to do something creative, and hoping to find answers that might help me fill the proverbial blank page, I submitted an idea to WOMM-LP, "The Radiator." I wanted to host a show where I interviewed authors, poets, and others in the writing world about the creative process and the business of books. When the show was approved, I was thrilled and terrified. But I quickly learned that the Radiator is not a scary place; it's the most welcoming and encouraging of environments. I shadowed another DJ once a week for a while, until I felt comfortable running things myself, and then I went on the air. Seven years into it, I can say with confidence that the show has been a success. My guests run the gamut from struggling and self-published authors to best-selling and award-winning authors. Listeners regularly offer positive feedback, and podcast numbers reflect a solid audience base around the world. For my own part, the interviews have engaged my interest and, thankfully, brought me back to my own writing many years ago. Despite that, I haven't let go of Write The Book. Broadcasting the wisdom of more conventionally successful writers fulfills in me a need I previously hadn't recognized or understood."
— Shelagh Shapiro
Be a DJ on The Radiator!
If you'd like to tour the station and get the official 20-minute "New DJ Orientation" experience before making a decision to join the on-air staff, send the info below.
First, here's a few things to know:
- The Radiator prefers not to duplicate programming found on other local radio stations. Play Top 40 pop or Country Hits if you want, but mix it up with deep album cuts or songs that broaden our local audience's experience of the genre. We worked very hard to get a license to broadcast to our community and we don't want to waste it.
- All programming on The Radiator is local. It's OK to call it "hyper-local," even. We don't syndicate shows produced outside of Vermont, but this probably wouldn't bother you since you're asking if you can come do a show.
- Shows are one or two-hours long, on a regular weekly schedule. Be prepared to commit to that if you have a show.
- Talk shows are AWESOME. Don't be shy. YOU'RE awesome. (And spoken word, performance art, and radio theater are pretty neat, too).
- Our studio is currently located up two flights of stairs and is not wheelchair accessible. We're working hard to correct this issue.
Here's what we need to get started:
Our Equal Employment Opportunity Statement

text: I thought the what is best threads had pretty much gone away but I was wrong. To this end I would suggest a rule change to prevent asking "what is best?", purely as any such thread question is highly subjective and usually (but not always) devolves into a fanboy pissing match (be a fan of a developer or even a console if you must people but being a fanboy of a flashcart is just plain moronic). If you want a case study the doom9.org forums (a video based forum fairly similar in size/activity and levels/range of discussion: http://forum.doom9.org/ ) implemented just such a rule and things have worked out very well, you guys have extensive reviews, comparisson of features for different items and guides/faqs so it is not as though people will be missing out on things, I am sure a quick request to the members will yield some updated guides/FAQs and such as well. If that last few paragraphs were just the ramblings of an idiot tell me now but I sense I am not the only one.

Two new images in the Cordillera Blanca gallery
Recently I prepared a presentation of photography in Peru for a Photography club I'm participating in. So instead of the ususal 1-2 images per week, I had to put some concentrated effort on finishing some of the images from Peru that waited on the que. Two of them were added to the Cordillera Blanca gallery today - click the link to go to the gallery.

yosis - any advice please?
I've just been given a probable endo dx - possibly adenomyosis, and referred for MRI to try to get more info. I'm not a suitable candidate for laparoscopy due to too many abdominal surgeries that show keloid scarring, and adhesions inside that the gynae could feel. The only options she offered were hormonal treatments that either induce temporary menopause or are progesterone - as I am bf and TTC these are not really options for me (and I would be reluctant even if this were not the case, tbh).
I'm currently looking into controlling it through diet. I think I am lucky in that it seems relatively mild (although may be getting worse), so I'm not too desperate and have time to investigate. Does anyone have any advice or experiences that they wouldn't mind sharing? I am worried about being able to conceive, especially if it is adenomyosis rather than endometriosis, and obviously would rather not have the pain and discomfort....
Thanks in advance!
No-one?! It suddenly seems very rare - I have had no replies on my other forum either!!! (Don't know where the random space came from in the title...)
I had endo (I'm now post menopausal).
The only thing that helped me was mefanamic acid which I took from a few days before my period was due.
Don't know if that will be suitable while you're breastfeeding though.
Have just seen this.
In my long and painful (if you pardon the expression) experience with endo (which I have suffered from since I was 14, I realise that now) I found that dietary changes made no difference whatsoever with regards to endometriosis in terms of its overall severity. However, everyone is different and I did not have endometriosis in my intestines.
Any sort of abdominal surgery can lead to adhesions forming post op; these are like sticky strands that tether organs together. Drug treatment on its own won't assist with adhesions, these can only be surgically removed.
I would consider seeking a second opinion. Ideally you need to see a consultant gynae who also has an interest in endometriosis as well as up to date knowledge, such people do exist out there but they can be hard to find. A general gynae may not necessarily have enough hands on experience, knowledge or expertise to deal with more complex endometriosis cases.
Would suggest that you have a look at www.endo.org.uk as its a helpful UK based website.
Thank you - that's really useful information. I have spoken to my dr, and she has said wait for the MRI scan and results and also suggested seeking a second opinion. I have had quite a lot of stomach surgery (childhood, 2 cs and a lap tube removal) and there are adhesions present which was why the consultant was worried, I guess. As I said I am lucky that its fairly mild, mostly just annoying and uncomfortable a lot of the time and only painful around ovulation/period. I'll look up mefanamic acid on the bf help guide, too.
Much appreciated!
Hi guys I have an area around my 5 year old c-section scar which is suddenly extremely sore and slightly thick. Difficult to tell if cyclic as on continuous pill. Gp reluctantly sending for ultrasound. Please could you tell me whether endomitriosis is sore to the touch or is it more like period pain? Confused and in a pickle and would really appreciate any advice!
OP I don't have a lot of advice to give but just to say that the severity of your endo is not necessarily an indication of how difficult it will be to conceive. You can have very mild endo and trouble conceiving, or more severe endo and no problems conceiving.
Hello flower,
First off, I am on my phone so apologies if this reply goes tits up!
I have tried a couple of "endo" diets, most are quite full on in terms of exclusion but can help. The most famous (if that's the right term) is a book called Endometriosis - a Key to Healing via Nutrition by a lady called Foam Shepperson Mills. It does read very much like a medical textbook but is packed with info about food groups & endo. Taking her suggestions to the letter us hard, and obviously doing it all at once is tricky as you can't tell what is helping but still worth a read. Most libraries will carry it, and the author also runs the SHE Trust which has a great website. Diet changes have helped me as I have bowel involvement, but tbh most of it with me is common sense rather than a 'plan'.
Hormonal treatments are a sod but I do credit a 9 month course of Decapeptyl for my 3 year old DD, after being advised natural conception was impossible. Most of them are finite and don't bugger your cycles around too much once you stop them (took me about 6/7 months for.periods to resume after 9 months of jabs). Am currently on Depo Provera shots and would swap them for the Zoladex / Decapeptyl shots in an instant. I would suggest HRT with them, if you can take it, definitely helps with HellBeast tendencies!
Finally, it is true that endo is a law unto itself re conception. As I've said, I was advised natural pregnancy would be.impossible or a certain ectopic but the gobby, funny, pita 3 year old running about proves my Drs wrong! Interestingly, I've since been told that as my DD was totally naturally conceived further children may not be impossible as my body "found a way"; whether that's true or not I don't know, but there seems to be teeny shards of light in every situation.
I do have endo, though and not adeno so some of this may not be helpful but you're not on your own . Hope you get some answers soon.
That should be Dian Shepperson Mills <sigh>.
9 months of decepeptyl here too.
The needles are big but its worth it for the pain. I unfortunately haven't been able to conceive since them (yet).
I have had 3 laps, mefanamic acid, oramorph for the pain and countless A&E visits.
At the moment I am off all contraceptives as TTC but after my decepeptyl I went on the pill back to back for 2 years to be sure i didn't ovulate.
I would definitely get a second opinion, just in terms of the laps more than anything
Thank you all - and I'm so sorry that any of us have to suffer this, it sounds like you guys have it a lot worse than I do. Can I send a few hugs (I know it's not te done thing round here....). Mamf I might call my next child (god willing) Foam....! I don't think conceiving will be too much of an issue (I hope), but I am worried about what happens then - I've already had one nasty ectopic since this started.
helpmeboop mine is more like period pain, usually, except at ovulation and before/during period when it is outright painful - at those times if I'm touched (or, as my DCs like to do) kicked it is very sore. Otherwise not usually sore to touch. I think everyone is very different though. I hope you get to the bottom of it.
Hi I had adenomyosis and needed a,hysterectomy, but I was 43 and had already had my children.
I had old endo scarring but never had it diagnosed before this.
Sorry not much help!
I have endo but am currently 32 weeks pregnant so not suffering from pain from it my consultant had told me as a general rule as long as your not having a period you shouldn't suffer from pain or discomfort caused by endometriosis. So whilst pregnant/breastfeeding it shouldn't be causing you pain? I had norethisterone (sp?) tablets to control my endo an they were a GODSEND! I had previously tried several hormone treatments but nothing worked as well as those, my consultant insisted the endo diet was rubbish too btw, sorry not much help here I feel your pain though endometriosis is a horrible thing!
Congratulations on your pg, Dollie! That's brilliant. Ds is nearly 2, so although I am bf my periods have also returned. I was lucky enough to get 15 clear months post birth both times though! coco the hysterectomy must have been a huge relief. Thank you both for your replies.
I have endometriosis, it is very painful during the first 2-3 days of my period but I do find that exercise really helps, even though it is hard to feel like exercising in the first place. Reflexology has also helped at times
as has wine
It took 2.5 years to conceive my dd and my periods returned after only 3 months, while I was still bf.
Hope you find ways to manage yours, and that it's not too painful.
hello. Do any of you suffer lower back pain and hip pain with your endometriosis? my back pain started when the womb pains started but my doctor wont investigate and i feel like screaming. x
I get pain in my left side, usually around ovulation time.
I can also get achey legs.
Hi wineyhouse I just posted on your thread, but yes, I get back pain and during ovulation sometimes down my legs. Rubbish.....
Thank you. just a relieve, ive felt like im going crazy sometimes. . i went to see my doctor today and i am being referred to an endo specialist so fingers crossed i get sorted. x
Good, I'm glad you are getting a referral. That is progress! I have an MRI in a few weeks to see if that shows any more (I can't have lap surgery). I hope you get your appointment soon.
Thanks MakeHayNotStraw - no luck yet, still sore but here's hoping!
If you're not TTC I am finding the Microgynon pill amazing. GP has now said I can take 3 packets with no break so just 4 periods a year. Plus they've been loads lighter and less painful.
When I was TTC I went for Ibuprofen and paracetamol when Mefanamic Acid ran out. Our local hospital has a specialist Endo Nurse and she was fab on pain relief. May be worth checking if there's someone in your area?
