Steroids have two effects on the body: anabolic or muscle building or strength effects, and androgenic effects, which influence sex characteristics such as masculinization (deeper voice, increased facial hair growth).

How Are Synthetic Steroids Used? Today, two types of synthetic steroids are often used in approved medical treatments of autoimmune and inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, allergy treatments, and delayed puberty as well as the aforementioned treatment for hypogonadism.
Transdermal patches (adhesive patches placed on the skin) may also be used to deliver a steady dose through the skin and into the bloodstream. Testosterone-containing creams and gels that are applied daily to the skin are also available, but absorption is inefficient (roughly 10%, varying between individuals) and these treatments tend to be more expensive. Individuals who are especially physically active and/or bathe often may not be good candidates, since the medication can be washed off and may take up to six hours to be fully absorbed. There is also the risk that an intimate partner or child may come in contact with the application site and inadvertently dose himself or herself; children and women are highly sensitive to testosterone and can suffer unintended masculinization and health effects, even from small doses. Injection is the most common method used by individuals administering AAS for non-medical purposes. [45]

DAYTON, Ohio -- When Kansas lost to Duke last year in the NCAA tournament championship game, the Jayhawks left Indianapolis and the Hoosier Dome with few regrets and only a trace of disappointment.
But when the Jayhawks left the University of Dayton Arena last night after their shocking 66-60 loss to ninth-seeded Texas-El Paso, there were tears. Lots of tears. Not only from the players, but also from the head coach.
"I can't say how much I feel the hurt for these guys," said Roy Williams, his eyes red, his voice cracking. "They accomplished so much. They won the Big Eight by three games. They won the conference tournament. But the nature of the game is that people will say this season has been a disappointment because of this loss. I'm disappointed right now, but I'm not disappointed in these kids."

These Stingray devices are used by local law enforcement in North Carolina. U.S. District Court Throws out Stingray Evidence. They are being used in criminal investigations in Buncombe. I have seen the results where they can pin-point your location on a map, and the path you take, like a trail of breadcrumbs. They capture information from innocent, law abiding citizens indiscriminately. The government can use these to spy on you. The devices can not only be used to determine a phone's location, but they can also intercept calls and text messages. During the act of locating a phone, stingrays also sweep up information about nearby phones—not just the target phone. Earlier this year, Ars reported on how theFBI is actively trying to "prevent disclosure" of how these devices are used in local jurisdictions across America.
A Stingray works by masquerading as a cell phone tower—to which your mobile phone sends signals to every 7 to 15 seconds whether you are on a call or not— and tricks your phone into connecting to it. As a result, the government can figure out who, when and to where you are calling, the precise location of every device within the range, and with some devices, even capture the content of your conversations.Specifically, says the Wall Street Journal, "the stingray operator [can] 'ping,' or send a signal to, a phone and locate it as long as it is powered on." This practice was successfully challenged by the ACLU. "The court today has confirmed that law enforcement cannot hide behind a shroud of secrecy while it is invading the privacy of those it has sworn to protect and serve," Mariko Hirose, a NYCLU Staff Attorney, said in a statement. "The public has a right to know how, when and why this technology is being deployed, and they deserve to know what safeguards and privacy protections, if any, are in place to govern its use." The actual court order. The 24-page order comes as the result of a lawsuit brought by the New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU) and marks a rare victory in favor of transparency of "cell-site simulators," which are often shrouded in secrecy. New York county sheriff must give up stingray records, judge orders. How does the technology work?

Jane's ice cream – simply better.
Jane's is a boutique family business run by ice cream fanatics Amy Keller and Bob Guidubaldi since 1985. Their award-winning ice cream is made from recipes handed down through their families for generations. Hand-crafting their artisanal ice cream in small batches ensures the quality.
Jane's is committed to delivering the best and boldest flavors we have found. And it's made locally in Kingston, NY, in the heart of the Hudson Valley. We use the best chocolates, real fruits and pure vanillas to create our ice creams and sorbets. The dairy comes from cows raised without the use of synthetic hormones.
From your first spoonful, you'll come to believe what we know: Jane's is simply better.
What clients say about us
I was lucky enough to have a good friend introduce me to Jane's Ice Cream. All I can say is, "WOW." The ice cream tastes fresh and the flavors are so fun. I am now officially addicted to Killer Chocolate.
I was recently at Omega Institute where I was introduced to your AMAZING ice creams years ago. In particular, I was looking forward to some Coconut Almond Joy. I have practically been haunted by this flavor ice cream. My problem is that I am a Maryland resident. Is there any way to ship your ice cream this far south? Thanks!
I would like to inquire how I could buy you perfect ice cream and if it is possible to get it shipped to my home in Vail, CO. I recently moved away from the Hudson Valley where I fell in love with your ice cream there is no other that can stand up to your perfection. I need it to survive please help me.
As far as I'm concerned Jane's ice Cream is the best in this part of NY state. Unfortunately, they closed their cafe, but the website has an up to date list of shops and restaurants that carry Jane's. Killer chocolate is my weakness, but I haven't found a flavor that wasn't wonderful. Click on the where to buy link on the website.
By the way, I've taken 2 friends, both of whom were indifferent to ice cream, to get Jane's and both wanted to go back immediately!
I just had to e-mail you to let you know that for the last two consecutive nights I have had a bowl of your Lime Sorbet at the Omega
Institute in Rhinebeck. Oh my freakin' gawd! We're talking lime, limey, limey-est! As one staff member here said, "It's all you need – except some water." I'm a guy who puts English lime curd on his toast, I love lime so much. Dang, you've nailed the world's best
sorbet beyond a doubt. Yee-ha and Yippee!
This is from someone who lives in Ben & Jerry's land, but I'll be on the constant lookout for Jane now. How now, Catskill cow?
A new fan of your exquisite yummyness.
I've been eating ice cream at BooBoo and Lyle's that just opened in Staten Island. It seems a strange thing to recommend, but your vanilla has got to be the best I've ever tasted.
I am a huge Coconut Lover and when we I tried your Coconut Almond Joy, it was love at first taste. The other day as I was walking through my local Hannaford, I saw a sign saying locally made JANE'S ICE CREAM !! I thought to myself there is no way they have MY ice cream flavor and sure enough there it was!! The first thing I did was go to my Facebook page and post it that I had found heaven on earth. My friends were happy to know that it was in the store. Thank you for that and I hope you continue to provide your delicious ice cream at the local supermarket. I love it and thank you!!!
I have been addicted to your products for several years, always having it at Lick, which is near our vacation home.
My palate has decided that all others, including the top ice cream joints listed/voted in New Jersey Magazine, pale in comparison.
Thanks again….
We are huge fans of Jane's Ice Cream. Thank you for creating such wonderful flavors to entertain with. So far this summer I have made: Ice cream floats using raspberry lambic and vanilla (Memorial Day); Ginger milk shakes with a splash of Domaine De Canton (last Friday); and for my birthday (June 5th) small scoops of your delicious lavender ice cream turned champagne into a dessert I plan to make a tradition.

This is a rush transcript from "Special Report," September 12, 2013. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.
REP. JOHN BOEHNER, R – OH, HOUSE SPEAKER: There are a lot of discussions going on about how to deal with the CR and the issue of ObamaCare. So we are continuing to work with our members. I'm well aware of the deadlines and so are my colleagues. We are working with our colleagues to work our way through these issues. I think there is a way to get there.
HARRY REID, D – NV, SENATE MAJORITY LEADER: As we all know, the speaker has a problem, how to get the government funded. All of these things they are trying to do on the ObamaCare is just a waste of their time.
BRET BAIER, ANCHOR: Well, the CR is the continuing resolution. They need that in order to fund the government. It ends, essentially the funding for the government, September 30th. And that's the back and forth. Conservatives want to defund ObamaCare, and that has been the problem for House Speaker Boehner trying to get something across the finish line. We are back with our panel. John, it looks like that this is going to head up to this deadline. It really looks like it is going to push.
JOHN HILSENRATH, WALL STREET JOURNAL: It certainly does. And then right after that within a few weeks there is a debt ceiling debate. But Boehner is in a pickle here because he's basically -- there is going to be a fight. And he's got to choose whether he's going to have a fight with Obama or a fight within his own party.
He sees going over the continuing resolution deadline as a political loser. If you shut down the government, the Republicans get blamed for that. He is not going to get anywhere -- as Reid said, he is not going to get anywhere trying to defund ObamaCare. So trying to line up all of these disagreements is a very tricky thing for him to do.
BAIER: The conservative line is that ObamaCare is such a detriment to the economy, and they were elected, Juan, to fight this fight. So why not fight it?
JUAN WILLIAMS, SENIOR EDITOR, THE HILL: They fought it. They fought it, and if you want to just be blunt about it, they lost. But they continue to fight it. It's like a fight that is over. They voted, I think, 40 plus times. They have three more coming. They want to now challenge the budget on this and threaten the U.S. credit ratings and the rest.
BAIER: Well, how they phrase it is that they would put forward a continuing resolution and it would not have the funding for ObamaCare but it would fund the rest of the government and then throw it to the Democratic Senate and the president which --
WILLIAMS: That's fine. The way Speaker Boehner has done it is here it is. If it's a nonbinding deal so the Democrats are forced to vote on it. So if you are simply appealing to your base and saying to your base, you know, these dastardly Democrats, they like ObamaCare. Aren't they terrible people? You will have another opportunity to demonstrate that to be the case.
But to go beyond that then raises the question -- Majority Leader Reid called it anarchy, but I would think what is the responsibility of people who are elected leaders? You say they are elected to fight this fight, but they are also elected to lead our government.
BAIER: Charles, is there a way out? There are a number of proposals to delay ObamaCare for a year, for example, to compromise, as the president has delayed the mandate for businesses, delay the individual mandate for a year and satisfy some of these conservatives who are pushing for defunding ObamaCare?
CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER, SYNDICATED COLUMNIST: It is not going to happen. If there was any impetus for it to happen it would come from the unions, who are intensely unhappy about the fact that employers have gotten a postponement for a year and workers are really getting screwed on this. They are going to lose their benefits. The unions are going to lose members because they are going to dissipate the advantage of being in a union. They are very unhappy. But it is not going to come from a relatively small number of conservative Republicans in the House. You cannot govern from one part of one half of the Congress. The law passed. Yes, they were elected to go and defeat ObamaCare, but they are two years late.
BAIER: So what's the out?
KRAUTHAMMER: The only out is for these people to realize that they are in a suicide caucus. The way to win this thing is to let it go into effect, which it will because Obama controls the veto. Let it fall apart on its own as it is. Let all of the contradictions be exposed, let the unions and Democrats oppose it, win the election next year, and then attack it and that might work.
HILSENRATH: I will suggest another out. I find it surprising they are choosing to go after ObamaCare and not spending, government spending and entitlements, and maybe that's where this goes. Is that if Republicans want to extract something out of the CR debate and the debt limit debate, why not go after getting some more spending cuts out of Obama, preferably from an economic point of view over the long run and not the next 12 months. But that could get them something.
BAIER: Quickly, John, on the economy, this battle back and forth as we push into another series of deadlines, this and the debt ceiling, what does that do for the economy overall?
HILSENRATH: The economy is lumbering along and I think it continues to lumber along. What's interesting to me, while all of this is going on with Syria, with these deadlines coming up is the stock market is well over 15,000 and it's just -- it's barreling along. So right now it looks like investors aren't freaking out as they did in 2011, but there isn't anything that is going to get the economy off to a faster track.
BAIER: That is it for the panel. But stay tuned for some reaction to Apple's newest product.

Before my blog, I worked as a freelancer and, after some time, found myself gravitating towards small creative businesses. I did everything from copywriting, content production, research, brand strategy, and I even worked for a cool food and travel app (right up my ally) where I realised some of my true strengths and weaknesses.
Since then I have been refining my strengths and now focus on projects I am passionate about or writing topics that relate to culture, travel, women, Italy, philanthropy/non-profit projects, and the likes. I love working with small creative businesses because I find myself doing more than writing the copy for their website–I turn into their cheerleader (ok, so I get excited and can't help my natural enthusiasm, but I draw the line at pompoms). I completely believe in their idea and can see their vision, which helps me stay in line with (and most of the time assist with) their branding. I not only write, I am also a visual, big-picture type with my eye on their brand and the future potential of their business. Since most of my writing is for websites, I also tinker with visual layouts on WordPress (I personally set up the site you're on now), FourSquare, Wix, and Weebly. Although I'm no web designer and definitely can't code, I sure have an eye for great web design (visual and user experience, strictly speaking). Being a creative person myself, I truly admire people who have the confidence to turn their creations into a profitable business idea and take on a completely new journey starting a business, or refining and updating their existing endeavour. Whichever category you fall into, I would love to help.
Here are a few of the services I offer and some ways we can collaborate:
Branding Assistance and Strategy
Existing Website Consultation
Content Editing
Link Sharing
Featured Content
Brand Ambassadorship
Italy Travel Planning and Assistance*
Have something else in mind that I can help you with? Contact me at email@example.com to discuss your ideas.
* I offer itinerary planning for Florence and Tuscany, and can assist in your planning process as a point of reference for greater Italy (i.e. getting around Italy, safety information, recommendations, etc.)

These two weeks I'm placed at Willows referral hospital, which is located in Solihull, West Midlands near Birmingham. Willows offer EMS to final year students, and seeing I passed all my exams my first stop before starting rotations started here.
Willows is a first class hospital for animals that offers: orthopaedics, ophthalmology, anaesthesia & analgesia, internal medicine, soft tissue surgery, neurology and diagnostic imaging as well as having a first opinion small animal clinic. During the 2 week placement I get to follow different cases in all the different disciplines to get a taster of what the specialist field is like. Each patient often receives care from several different teams. I honestly think that these animal hospitals are set up better than many of the human hospitals. I would join the vet of a certain discipline for consults in the morning until around midday. If the patient required surgery, it would be scheduled to undergo diagnostic imaging and then surgery the same day and under the same anaesthetic and either be sent home the same evening or the next day, depending on if the patient had recovered properly.
If a patient required special attention the hospital had an ICU ward, where the patients received one to one nursing and checks. The nurses that work at willows knew a lot. There were specific nurses for the different allocated areas, weather it was the dog ward/ cat ward, pharmacy, MRI/ CT nurses, prep room nurses or operating nurses, just like for human hospitals. These nurses had all undergone special training. It seemed to make the hospital run more smoothly.
If a patient came from consultations and was now scheduled for a surgery, the patient would get a willows collar with its name written on it (kind of like a hospital wrist band), if the veterinary surgeon was ready to see it in the operating theatre at that point, he would be clipped, the nurse would place an IV Catheter, there would be an anaesthetist vet to write up the drugs it was to get, in the case that it had any special considerations for the anaesthesia e.g: heart murmur, airway problems, geriatric, obese, kidney problems etc. If the animal required x rays for the surgery, the nurses would then take it to the radiography room where they positioned the animals and took the x rays for the vet to have a look at right before surgery. The animal would already be induced by this point, and they had anaesthetic trolleys that they transported the patient to the prep room for the operation.
Having these trolleys would prevent the animal being carried, each of the trolleys had isoflurane anaesthesia attached, a breathing system and oxygen so that the patient could be transported sleeping. Once in the prep room all the nursing staff had to wear blue coloured scrubs (vs green for the rest of the hospital) and head caps. The animal was then either induced (if it hadn't had images taken beforehand) or just prepared, where the surgical site would be cleaned. Once the animal was in the operating theatre the surgical site would be cleaned by a trained nurse again before the site would be draped. All the veterinary surgeons would have to scrub in and put on gowns before operating to ensure that this was as sterile an environment as possible. A nurse would sit and monitor the anaesthesia for the patient throughout the operation and keep records of heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, oxygen etc.
Once the operation was done the animal would be taken out to the treatment room where they would be closely monitored before waking up, given their pain relief and any other medications given before being placed in the kennels. There was a kennel staff who would take patients out for walks as well as making sure the kennels were clean at all times.
My first two days I got to work with Orthopaedics. I was lucky to work with Toby Gemmill and Stephen Kalff consulting on initial referrals or post operative care patients. In the afternoon each day they did TPLO's which is the abbreviation for tibial plateau levelling osteotomy which is a surgical procedure used to treat cranial crucuate ligament rupture in the knee joints of (often large) dogs. This involved changing the angle of the top of the shin bone (the tibial plateau) by cutting the bone, rotating it, and stabilising it in a new position with a plate and screws. Cranial cruciate ligament rupture is one of the most common causes of hind limb lameness in dogs so these surgeons did a lot of this type of surgery.
Wednesday I moved onto Ophthalmology with Mike Rhodes and Carolin Chiwitt. Here I got to see Cataract surgery, keratectomy and cherry eye surgery. Cataracts are an opacity or clouding in the lens in the eye. The lens is normally crystal clear but looks black because the darkness inside the eye. The lens is there to focus light on the sensitive tissue at the back of the eye (retina). Cataracts often form in both eyes and often get worse. It's more common in older dogs and can be inherited.
The only treatment is surgery (but some cataracts are not operable). The surgery is under full general anaesthetic and with a muscle relaxant and then preformed under an operating microscope with tiny instruments. Two small cuts are made in the window of the eye (cornea) and the iris. The eye is filled with a viscoelastic gel to inflate the eye and protect the structures inside. The cataract is then removed though the hole in the capsule using phacoemulsification which is an ultrasound procedure which is also used on human cataracts. After the surgery a special artificial lens is placed where the old lens was, permanent buried deep inside the eye. The surgery wounds are closed with tiny dissolving stitches. Most dogs will actually see on the day after surgery.
Cherry eye is a condition where the third eyelid gland has prolapsed. Dogs have a third eyelid which sweeps back and forth across the surface of the eye protecting and spreading tear film (also called nictitating membrane) which produced 60% of the tear production of the eye. When it prolapses it becomes visible as a pink mass (lump) near the inner corner of the eye. This condition often affects dogs than cats and young animals between 6 to 12mo.
Some dogs are predisposed as well: bulldogs, Shih Tzu, Lhasa Apso, Cocker Spaniels, Great Danes and Mastiffs. It can be quite painful and make the eye dry so surgery is recommended, but not to remove it. Pocket technique was carried out at willows where a little pocket is made and the gland is put into it and stitched closed. It sounds like simple thing to do, but this is also done under a microscope with tiny instruments. Ophthalmology is definatly something for the steady handed surgeons.
Friday was Anaesthesia and Analgesia day where I worked with Alessandra Mathis & Anna Bryla. Most of the procedures at Willows will need some kind of sedation, even X rays, Ultrasound scanning or surgery. There are many different types of anaesthetic drugs and many different conditions which require precautions or use of other drugs. Its therefore important to have a good knowledge about patients with often several problems at once, can and cannot get, to prevent drug interactions and other complications.
New week started and I was placed with Soft Tissue surgery with Chris Shales and Stephen Baines. Here I saw surgeries like Tie backs with Laryngeal Paralysis, Porto systemic (liver) shunt surgery and Linear Foreign body removal. Laryngeal paralysis is when there if a functional failure of the larynx opening the vocal cords during inspiration (breathing in). Most cases are older larger breeds like Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, Weimeraners, Bernese Mountain Dogs, Great Danes etc. Dogs will typically present with a noise when breathing in, coughing, weight loss, reduced exercise tolerance, collapse, reduced tolerance for temperatures, altered phonation (Bark), problems swallowing food/ water, and sudden respiratory distress. A patient doesn't have to show all of these symptoms. The condition is caused by a dysfunction of one or both the recurrent laryngeal nerves which supply the muscles holding the vocal cords open during breathing. Treatment which is most effective is surgery "Tieback" also called Unilateral Arythenoid Lateralisation (UAL). Which is basically permanently fixing one of the patient's vocal cords in an open position. 90-95% who have this procedure will improve significantly, but there are some minor complications which can occur as well.
A portal systemic shunt is a blood vessel anomaly that results in the blood from the abdominal organs (small bowel, large bowel, stomach etc) being diverted to the heart or bypassing the liver. This can be a birth defect (congenital port systemic shunt) or acquired if there is a chronic disease. The problem with having a shunt is that nutrients and toxins that should be cleared from the circulation now bypasses the normal portal blood flow to the liver and results in a small liver and build up toxins in the bloodstream which can cause nervous symptoms. The patients often lack necessary substances to give a good supply of energy and therefore have a stunted growth. The surgery I saw was a puppy only 5 mo old. The patients can present with poor muscle development, behavioural abnormalities (walking in circles, disoriented, unresponsive, quiet, staring into space, pressing head into surfaces) and seizures. A portovenogram was done during surgery which is an x ray examination which allows the liver shunt to be accurately visualised during surgery. A vein draining the small bowel is injected with dye which contrasts on the x ray showing the abnormal liver shunt. Surgery is very complex and dangerous for the animal, which involved locating the shunting vessel and closing it to re direct blood through the liver. This might have to be done gradually by placing a cellophane band around the vessel which causes gradual closure over 4 to 6 weeks, giving the liver time to develop without producing an excessively high blood pressure.
Wednesday and Thursday I was on Internal Medicine with Kirsty Roe, Isuru Gajanayake and Amy Lam. Cases with pancreatitis, hypoglycaemic puppies and thrombocytopenia was seen. Pancreatitis occurs when the pancreas becomes inflamed (tender and swollen). It occurs mostly in middle ages to older dogs, breeds like Cocker Spaniels and Terrier breeds. Symptoms ranged from mild signs (reduced appetite) to very severe illness (multiple organ failure). Most commonly it causes lethargy, loss of appetite, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhoea. It's diagnosed with the history along with abdominal pain on examination, but because so much else can cause these symptoms a blood test and ultrasound scan of the abdomen is needed to rule out other conditions.
Today was unfortunately my last day here at Willows. I was placed with Neurology and Raquel Trevail who had done here residence in Glasgow when I started vet school. We had some follow up cases and also had a patient with Traumatic disc extrusion – slip disc which is when a small fragment of material from the centre of the disc suddenly breaks free and travel through the outer ring of the disc and collides with the delicate spinal cord. Diagnosing this was done with an MRI scan of the animal which I find quite amazing. Willows had a special Diagnostic team who works with Ultrasound, CT and MRI for all the cases that need imaging. Paul Mahoney, Andrew Parry, Lizza Baines and Andrew Tanner are all specialist in Diagnostic imaging to make the best diagnosis and make each sequencing required specially for that animal and that current problem. These two weeks have gone very quickly and I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with so many great vets & not to forget the nurses. I hope I'll come back here sometime in the future.
All the best

By Michael Baker
Well here it is, time to make a prediction. I've never been great at predicting what the general public will do when working en masse. I could look to the polls, but depending on where you look and who you listen to the polls can basically be read to say whatever you'd like them to. What it all comes down to is that trying to predict this election is a fool's game, so here I go…
The best way to think about this is to consider who I would choose if I had to make a bet, wagering everything to my name on either Big O or Mitt. That's a scary prospect because, like I said, it's a fool's game. But if I'm forced to predict (and the rules of political blogging state that I am), I think the clear choice is Obama. The polls (which, as stated, cannot be trusted) project a narrow edge for the Prez in nearly every battleground state. To the extent that the polls can provide some insight, they can't all be wrong, I guess. A faulty poll that predicts an Obama win still points to O, even if dubiously so.
Predicting a win by Obama is not so interesting; that's probably because it's the popular thing to do, but it's only the popular thing to do because it's popular to want to be right. What is interesting is that the polls are also telling us that Mitt will carry the popular vote by a narrow margin. So, it seems reasonably likely that for the first time since 2000 we'll have a president who won the election despite losing the popular vote.
So there you go – bet the farm on Obama. If I'm wrong, your bet will be safely hedged by that surge in economic prosperity that Romney has been promising us in the event that he wins.

Looking back at IPM 2017 - Match will be remembered for resilience
With the International Plowing Match and Rural Expo (IPM) moving from the rearview mirrors of the public to the history books, The Citizen took some time to reminisce with members of the executive and event committees about the 100th iteration of the agricultural event.
As far as the specifics of the match, Chair Jacquie Bishop said the committee succeeded in putting on the show they hoped for.
"We met our vision that we put in place early on," she said. "We wanted an entertaining and educational IPM that all ages could enjoy and I believe we achieved that as there was diverse programming that enticed people to come to the match."
Administration Co-ordinator Brian McGavin said the committee could not have hoped for a better turnout, better stories or better memories than the match had provided.
"We like to break records in Huron County, but even we were surprised with how every event was a success," he said. "People said we had the best church service, the best media day, the best opening ceremonies, the best everything. It was gratifying that what we did in Huron County measured up to the standards we have set."
He said that, even with the rain, the match was in a position to succeed from the start.
"We were fortunate to have a lot of sponsors and volunteers to make it a success," he said.
Brian said the attendance of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his family was also a big feather in the IPM's cap, explaining his experience as Trudeau's plowing coach for the event.
"I had to tell him he was going to start in reverse, but after that it was fun," he said with a laugh. "He was very personable, and had no issues using a plow."
Trudeau's presence proved just how strong the education component of the event was, which pleased organizers as being informative and student-friendly was of paramount importance for the organization.
"The connection between the classroom and Trudeau was neat," Brian said. "We wanted a good education component and, with those little children sending him an invitation and him coming and proving the importance of education, it was pretty neat."
Bishop agreed, saying that reaching out to future farmers and agri-business owners was something the committee had put an emphasis on.
"They are our future because next time this event ends up on our doorstep, I look forward to fulfilling the role of senator," she said.
Events and opportunities for the IPM to shine leading up to the event were also successful according to Bishop, who pointed to the barn quilt initiative, the IPM cookbooks, beautification projects, painted doors and benches as aspects that all drew interest. She also said that, through on-site events like the IPM 4-H Club, the Brussels Fall Fair, the straw bale facades and farm-gate displays, Huron County was shown to be a truly agricultural community.
Brian went on to say that the stories he heard throughout the match showed how Huron County brought out its best for the match.
Committee Secretary Lynne Godkin said the event was a success despite the adverse weather conditions.
"Did we hit 100,000 people? No, but, really and truly that was just because of the circumstances," she said. "It was too wet on Wednesday and Friday and Saturday there were health risks due to the heat but we still brought in more than 70,000 people."
She said the event was a fabulous success with great entertainment and enthusiastic volunteers. Comments she heard were positive despite the cancellation and vendors and tents ran out of supplies, showing just how successful it was.
Jeff McGavin, who started the IPM as plowing co-ordinator but found himself as a jack-of-all-trades once the fields were set, said the event was a huge success.
"The plowing, the tented city, it was all a great experience," he said. "Working with different volunteer groups and seeing the experience they all brought to the grounds was great. It was amazing to work with so many people with so many different stories."
Queen of the Furrow committee chair Melissa Veldman, who has some experience with IPMs through becoming Ontario's Queen of the Furrow less than a decade ago, said she was very impressed by the match.
"Everything went very well," she said. "Everyone was happy."
While the rain had an impact on most aspects of the event, she said the Queen competition's schedule remained unmarred by the wild weather.
"The rain didn't hold the Queen program back at all really," she said. "They were supposed to plow on Wednesday, and they were able to do that."
Veldman said all 25 Queen contestants were happy and great to work with.
"It's super inspiring to see where the agricultural industry is going with young women like these who are passionate about it," she said. "We're very happy to know we're going in the right direction."
While Kailey Donaldson from Halton County took the top spot in the competition, Veldman said the title could have gone to anyone on the stage.
This year's IPM marked the first time the Queen Gala and the Plowmen's Dinner was held together and Veldman said the marriage of the two was a great idea.
"It made for a longer night, but I'm very happy with how it went," she said. "We had 650 people in attendance and that is phenomenal. We are very happy."
Barb Terpstra was the head of a committee that, in her words, didn't make history but started history when they set out to put on the first provincial Princess Competition.
The competition focuses on a younger demographic than the Queen of the Furrow competition and she said it was an amazing experience.
"It was awesome," she said. "All the girls did a fabulous job and we felt so sorry for the judges. It came right down to the wire."
Terpstra said it was fantastic to see Brooklyn Hendriks, the Huron County contestant, triumph over the other 14 competitors for the crown, making her the first-ever winner of the competition.
The organizers behind the 2018 IPM in Chatham-Kent have already decided to carry on the competition, Terpstra said, and she sees that as a boon for the girls involved, as well as other aspects of the plowing match.
"It's going to be a benefit to the Queen competition, I can tell you that," she said. "Looking at the girls, you could see the interest they had in carrying on."
She said the quality of the girls that competed in the event can only benefit agriculture.
"We have to keep our youth embracing agriculture and being a part of it and this is a great program to do that," she said.
She said that, with Canada being so heavily focused on agriculture, it's important to have it at the forefront for young women. She said that's why having 15 different competitors was such a great milestone for the first competition.
"It's only going to keep getting stronger," she said. "It was a packed day, by the time the competition was done, but the girls got to meet each other, know each other and start friendships that will continue on and show people what good the competition can do."
Terpstra's biggest takeaway from the entire IPM was that the future of agricultural Ontario is in good hands with the girls in the competition.
"To see these girls interested in promoting agriculture, embracing their roots and wanting to be a part of it was amazing."
Plowing co-ordinators Jeff McGavin and Paul Dodds both said the event was well attended.
Dodds handled the on-the-ground plowing issues while Jeff had been involved in lining up the lands to host the plowing, arguably the most important part of the event.
Dodds said that, once the tractors were on the fields, the event was a huge success.
"We had quite a good competition," he said. "Unfortunately, like everything else, we lost a day due to the weather, but, by the time we recovered, we carried on just like nothing had happened."
Dodds said the land was set up well to plow and the facilities that hosted the plowmen left them happy to handle that. He said that, like many of the other plowmen, once he was on his tractor, everything else faded to the background.
Jeff agreed, saying that, aside from an odd stone that was found, the plowing ran smoothly. He said, by the time the plows hit the field, Dodds had 'grabbed the reigns' of the event and Jeff was back helping out in tented city.
Matt Townsend was in charge of the RV park and, with all but nine of the 1,092 serviced sites at the park used, he said it was a great success.
"On top of the serviced sites, we had several hundred unserviced sites used as well," he said. "It exceeded all expectations."
The weather proved problematic, Townsend said, but, with the back-up plans the IPM committee and volunteers had in place, they were able to mitigate most of the problems.
"We kept the tenants happy and entertained and, with infrastructure planning, we were prepared to recover quickly from the rain," he said. "We prepared for the worst and hoped for the best and worked out everything in between."
Townsend pointed to a brief power outage as an example of how quickly and efficiently back-up plans for the site were pulled off, saying, at one point, low-hanging power lines were pulled down, resulting in an outage for the park.
"Within two hours, Hydro One, Paul Cook and Maple Hill Electric were on site working and had the service back on," he said.
Townsend said he didn't run into many surprises and attributed that to his time helping his father George in 1999 when he was in charge of the RV park at the Dashwood match.
"As a matter of fact, one of the practices my father implemented, the staging lanes for RVs, is still being used today and helps expedite the check-in process," Townsend said. "At one point we had 24 ATVs and golf carts moving RVs into their parking spots throughout the park.
Traffic back-up was kept to a minimum according to Townsend who said the volunteers were awesome at keeping the process moving. He said the park would not have been as successful without them.
Entertainment for the show went rain or shine under coordinator Sherry McCall and, because of that, there was always something to see or do for people who were at the grounds.
"I would say it was quite successful," she said. "The entertainers did well and we had great comments about the Mudmen, George Canyon, the Leahys, the Ballaghs and all the local entertainers."
While the weather did have an impact on the entertainment, McCall said the performers could be dampened, but their desire to perform couldn't be.
"It went from rain to heat and that did have an impact on what people saw, but everyone was still happy to perform," she said. "Those that did come and see the shows were happy."
On Wednesday, when other events were cancelled or moved off-site, entertainment at the Tented City was moved into the RV park, a change that was appreciated by performers and audiences alike.
"Being in the RV park made for a very successful day," McCall said. "We started at 9:30 a.m. and had entertainment until midnight. Everything except the Huron County variety show went in the park."
She said the volunteers made that work more than anyone else.
"We had a green room, a trailer as a changing room and volunteers just scrambled to get that set up," she said. "They were second-to-none in making that happen and we could not have done it without them."
McCall also penned the IPM song "Because We're Farmers" and said it was great to hear it at the show so often.
"I'm really proud of that song," she said. "Every time [Amanda McClure, Isaiah. Sills, and Jack Storey] performed it at the show it warmed my heart. They put their best foot forward and it paid off. It was well received."
She said the trio received a standing ovation every time they sang the song at the match and it showed the support of everyone.
While each person interviewed lamented the cancellation of the IPM on Wednesday, Sept. 20 and the hot weather of the weekend that followed, the extreme weather had an unexpected side effect – showing the world what Huron County is made of.
"We could have had some better weather, but, with any outdoor event, you have to realize you can't control the weather," Godkin said. "What we did try was to be really flexible and everyone in Huron County rose to the occasion. I think that adverse weather created more of a close-knit volunteer community. People really rose to the occasion.
"People said, 'This is the hand we've been dealt? No problem, we can handle this and make it work,'" she said.
Other committee chairs felt the same way, including Brian.
"I was really happy with the way the whole IPM went, but, naturally, after Tuesday night, it felt like someone had kicked me in the stomach," he said. "We worked for more than four years and then that happens. However, that was when we began to see the resolve of everyone involved. It really galvanized the county and showed how we help one another."
Brian said Huron County's true nature shone through not only through helping with the cancellation but also throughout the match as many of the comments he heard were about how everyone was so helpful.
"If that's the legacy we want to build and leave, it's a nice one to have," he said.
Veldman said she "saw the bright light" after all the darkness that the rain caused.
"The match was still supported," she said. "There were a ton of people for the first day and the last three days had a lot of people there to make up for the cancellation. Everyone worked together and rearranged so much of the event and it worked."
She said that, with such an event, re-arranging it wasn't easy, but the volunteers made it happen through moving some events off-site and working with those in attendance whenever they could.
As for whether the committee would be involved in the next match, the answers ranged from "yes" to "no" to "definitely" to "ask me again in 20 years" (representing the approximate time between plowing matches in the county).
Dodds said if he was asked in 20 years, he might say yes.
"The parts that I had to deal with, the plowmen and the plowing fields, are pretty easy to deal with," he said. "The volunteers dealing with the tented city and the general public probably had more of a varied experience."
Godkin said she wouldn't take the mantle of secretary again, but she would be involved.
"Would I be secretary again? No, but I might be the Queen Mom or the Queen Grandma," she said with a laugh, referencing the woman who helps the Queens through the competition. "I'll be the Queen Grandma 20 years from now, or maybe I could be a senator like my father was this year. Brian McGavin, Jeff McGavin, my brother Paul and I, and the rest of the executive could be the senators for the next Huron IPM."
McCall said she would be happy to volunteer at a future match, though she would look for something different than entertainment.
As for Brian, he said he would likely be involved, but not at the same level.
"Our family would definitely want to help out," he said. "If we had a few years to breathe before the next one, that would be good, but we would want to help out."
Brian explained that hosting an event that was a success was a "bucket list" item for his brother and they couldn't have hoped for a better match.
Jeff agreed, saying that he is sure his family will be recharged by then and ready to help out where needed.

The regular season kicks off this weekend with the bitter archrival Seattle Seahawks coming to Lambeau Field. As students return to college, the Packers face a pop quiz when they would normally be picking up the syllabus.
The two teams have evolved from occasional playoff contests to fierce rivals, beginning with the "simultaneous possession," ending in the replacement referee year of 2012. The NFC Championship Game in 2015 helped escalate this rivalry to one of the best in the NFC.

As has been the norm for the past five seasons, both teams come into this game as Super Bowl contenders. Seattle features a suffocating defense and ball-control offense. The Packers provide fireworks on offense and a bend-but-don't-break defense. Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson has had his share of success in Wisconsin, both as a Badger and as a professional. Wilson is 3-2 against the Packers in his career. However, an uncharacteristic five-interception game last year led to a 38-10 Green Bay victory.
Former Packer Eddie Lacy looks to show his old team why he should have been re-signed. His weight issues were a concern to the Green Bay front office. The Seahawks' primary receiving threat is tight end Jimmy Graham. The Packers' linebackers and secondary frequently have trouble with large tight ends.
Seattle's secondary is the strength of their defense. The Packers' depth at wide receiver and addition of Martellus Bennett at tight end will be a real test for both units. Bennett's brother Michael anchors the Seahawks' defensive line, alongside familiar Packers nemesis Cliff Avril. The Packers' rebuilt offensive line will face a stern test in the Seattle front seven.
Packers running backs Ty Montgomery and Jamaal Williams will have their hands full against the Seattle linebackers. Bobby Wagner is a Pro Bowl run-stopper, and Seattle likes to mix up their 4-3 base with a 3-4 look that features Marcus Smith or David Bass at outside linebacker.
On special teams, the Seahawks trot out some familiar faces. Kicker Blair Walsh, the former Viking, and punter Jon Ryan, former Packer, have both experienced success at Lambeau Field.
Both coaches, Pete Carroll and Mike McCarthy, have won Super Bowls and both expect to be contending for the Super Bowl this year. Despite being the first game of the season, this one will have a playoff atmosphere, not to mention playoff implications.
Fantasy-wise, this is the game to start either defense. Seattle's defense is always one to start, unless you have Pittsburgh or Houston. Running back Eddie Lacy may have a statement game against the Packers, despite their solid run defense last year. He may pile up some late-game yards and touchdowns.
Wide Receiver Doug Baldwin tends to accumulate points against the Packers, last season he padded his stats with a touchdown pass to Russell Wilson against the Eagles. Such trickeration is always a possibility when rivals meet.
Overall, a tight, low-scoring game is likely. This game will most likely be won by the team with the fewest turnovers.

What Is Part A (Hospital Insurance)?
Part A of Medicare is hospital insurance that helps cover inpatient care in hospitals, skilled nursing facility, hospice, and home health care.
How Much Does Part A Cost?
Most people do not pay a Part A premium because they paid Medicare taxes while working. This is called "premium-free Part A."
In most cases, if you choose to buy Part A, you must also have Part B and pay monthly premiums for both. If you have limited income and resources, your state may help you pay for Part A and/or Part B.
How Do I Get Part A?
Some people automatically get Part A.
If you are not eligible for premium-free Part A, you may be able to buy Part A if you meet one of these conditions:
- You're 65 or older, you're entitled to (or enrolling in) Part B, and you meet the citizenship or residency requirements.
- You're under 65, disabled, and your premium-free Part A coverage ended because you returned to work. (If you're under 65 and disabled, you can continue to get premium-free Part A for up to 8.5 years after you return to work.)
What Does Part A Cover?
In general, Part A covers:
- Inpatient care in hospitals (such as critical access hospitals,inpatient rehabilitation facilities, and long-term care hospitals)
- Inpatient care in a skilled nursing facility (not custodial or long term care)
- Hospice care services
- Home health care services
- Inpatient care in a Religious Non-medical Health Care Institution
Note: Staying overnight in a hospital doesn't always mean you're an inpatient. You're considered an inpatient the day a doctor formally admits you to a hospital with a doctor's order. Being an inpatient or an outpatient affects your out-of-pocket costs. Always ask if you're an inpatient or an outpatient. Read "Are You a Hospital Inpatient or Outpatient? If You Have Medicare – Ask!" for more information.

Find and fix untrusted foreign keys
Seems like most of the databases I work on have untrusted foreign keys. This can happen for a few different reasons that I covered in my post [[Untrusted Constraints]]. I think the biggest reason is that people temporarily disable the FK to do a data load/purge and then forget that the CORRECT syntax for re-enabling the constraint and making it trusted, is a bit goofy.
Yeah, notice CHECK is in there twice, the first as a verb and the second as a noun (yes I know that grammatically those aren't nouns and verbs, the point is one is an object, the other is declaring an action on the object).
Here is a script that will help you determine if you have untrusted FKs. It is dynamic SQL and it does NOT actually do any work. It is "SQL that generates SQL" that you can run at your leisure. On larger tables you may want to run both the validation script and the WITH CHECK CHECK scripts off hours to avoid concurrency issues, lock escalation, etc. Might also be worthwhile to index the underlying FK. (The PK will already be indexed).
The script can be found in my git repo. Here's a screenshot of the header.

Health Solutions Research, Incorporated (HSR), is an IRS recognized, non-profit 501(c)3 charitable organization dedicated to performing patient- and provider-focused research in the healthcare field.
HSR's Mission is –
To research the needs of patients & providers in an effort to increase access to high quality healthcare in America.
The relative high cost and poor outcomes of the US healthcare system as compared to the rest of the developed world is well documented. The US spends, even at current healthcare access levels, 17% of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) on healthcare while the rest of the G-20 nations spend between 9% and 11% of their GDP on healthcare. This is an unsustainable differential – and a competitive disadvantage for the United States, our companies, and our citizens.
At HSR, we research solutions addressing this situation and work with providers, insurers, Health IT vendors, medical device manufacturers, Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), pharmaceutical companies, government health agencies, Area Agencies on Aging, and other entities within the healthcare ecosystem to identify and implement such solutions. Our focus is on the patient's needs from the healthcare system and in patient-provider interaction.
HSR's Vision is –
Focusing on the Patient & Patient-Provider interaction will illuminate solutions to increase the quality and lower the cost of Healthcare in the US.
The three challenges for healthcare – increasing access, increasing quality, and reducing costs may seem contrary – however, we believe a "get back to basics" approach will actually result in achieving all three simultaneously. At its most basic level, healthcare is represented by the interaction between a patient and their physician – the Doctor's Visit. Our view is that by focusing on that Doctor's visit and what the physician, and more importantly, the patient bring to and need as outcome of that visit will naturally guide in suggesting and developing solutions and creating the scenarios allowing our country to lower the cost of providing the highest quality medical care for the largest possibly size and diversity of populations.
When there is limited access to healthcare, individuals and families default to the most expensive form of care – the ER visit. And when care is expanded, invariably it is the lower cost care that is made available. Increased care also has been shown to arrest health issues before they become the most severe, and therefore easier and less expensive to address.
Both factors suggest a correlation between increased access to care and lower cost of care.

A classic "mismatch" here . . . Toledo is allowing no sacks, we've allowed 18 already, their running game is the best in the league, we are near the bottom, they are leaders in takeaways and turnover margin, were the worst or near the bottom. Their defense is only allowing 13 points were around 35. Need anymore reasons? Tom M'72

Parliament vote on Brexit trigger "highly significant" to legal battle -govt lawyer
LONDON, Dec 8 (Reuters) - The British parliament's vote on Wednesday to back Prime Minister Theresa May's plan to trigger Brexit by end-March is "highly significant" to the legal battle over who has the power to authorise the step, a government lawyer said on Thursday.
The comment was made in the Supreme Court by James Eadie, who is acting for the government in an appeal against a ruling that would oblige ministers to seek parliament's assent before triggering Article 50, the EU's exit clause.
Lawmakers voted 448 to 75 on Wednesday to support a motion calling on the government to give details of its Brexit plan, but also backing the government's timetable to trigger the divorce procedure by the end of March.
"We respectfully submit that that is highly significant," Eadie told the Supreme Court.
"It isn't legally binding but that doesn't mean it isn't legally relevant. It provides the sharpest of focuses on the nature of the issues now in play, because the House of Commons has given specific approval to the government to give that (Article 50) notice and indeed has called on them to do so by a particular date."

Agriculture and Solar Panels: Reap the Benefits
You may or may not know that agriculture is, in fact, one of the most innovative and energy-intensive sectors there is. And in such a competitive industry, embracing innovation and new ideas can help farmers get the edge over their competitors. Like in so many industries, finding ways for businesses to reduce costs and create capital is imperative if they want to survive, and in the agriculture sector, many farmers and landowners have looked to renewable energy to do this.
Because many farms grow crops, it makes sense that they choose areas of the UK which receive a lot of sunlight. And for this reason also, it makes sense to utilise solar panels in these areas.
The benefits to farmers are numerous, the most significant of which is saving them costs on their overheads. Research has suggested that energy-intensive dairy farms could save up to 33% on their electricity bills by converting to solar power. The energy they produce can be used directly for heating, lighting, water pumps and electric fences.
If farmers are prepared to think bigger, they are able to install large solar arrays which they can receive incomes from through the UK's feed-in tariff, which, although not as generous as it once was, can certainly raise a fair amount of capital.
And it doesn't have to affect current farming practices. Installing a solar array still allows fields to be utilised, where animals can graze underneath, and certain plants that don't require huge amounts of sunlight can still thrive, such as asparagus.
Utilising solar power also relieves the concern of unstable energy prices, as being 'energy-secure' can help farmers when energy prices rise. With good energy-efficiency measures, both small and large farms can protect themselves from potential energy price increases, with the prospect of supplementing current revenues through renewable energy.
Because larger solar arrays can have high upfront costs, the likes of a purchase power agreement (PPA) are put in place by the government to offer the benefits of renewable solar energy with lesser costs to those involved.
A PPA is a 'free solar' proposition that offers credible companies long-term financial, accounting and eco benefits that involves two separate parties. One business, in this case the farm, generates the solar energy and the other business purchases it for a lower rate than their current energy supplier, meaning both parties reap the benefits.
A farm in north Wales recently claimed to have saved around £10,000 on their yearly electricity bill through utilising solar panels on their roof. David Jones, managing director of Hafod Renewables, whose company installed the solar panels explained how the farm has been benefiting from the solar power, saying "we've installed a monitoring system to show when the periods of maximum generation are so they can schedule water heating and other power-heavy work. They're making money and helping save the planet as well."
By utilising the power of the sun, farmers needn't have to rely on energy companies providing them with all of their electricity needs, but can work towards energy independence. Whilst this is a great incentive for the benefit of their business operations, reducing their carbon footprint is something we can all be happy with
Check out this post if you are thinking about investing in solar for commercial use.

Thanks! A few comments/suggestions/requests: The name of the test in the comment at the top of the .cpp file should match the file name, i.e., 25.string.op.plus.cpp. It says 21.string.plus.cpp. We should exercise long strings of more varying length rather than just 2048 characters (give or take a few). The point is to exercise the correctness and exception safety of the reallocation algorithm. Since our string allocates space for at least 128 characters and then each time it needs to increase the capacity it does so by multiplying it by 1.618 (the golden ratio), I suggest adding few more test cases for strings whose either initial or final length is close to the following values: 128, 207, 334, 540, 873, 1412, 2284, and 3695. The curly braces around individual cases in the switch statements are only necessary when declaring a variable. Otherwise they are not needed and should be removed since they are (IMO) detrimental to readability. In the operators test, the comments describing the result say that -1 means less but we use NPOS. Could you change the cases to use -1 (you can cast the value to size_t in the definition of the macro to avoid warnings). With these changes okay to commit. Thanks again. Martin

With Thanksgiving fast approaching, pet owners should be reminded that festive foods and four legged friends don't mix.
It's a time for sharing but don't share the holiday meal with your pets.
Feeding pets table scraps can be a recipe for trouble.
-A pet with a turkey bone lodged in his system may not show symptoms for 1 or 2 days.
-Turkey bones are hollow and break easily, splintering into sharp pieces, which, when chewed, can cause blockage and perforate the intestinal tract. If symptoms do occur they may include loss of appetite, depression, diarrhea or vomiting. While the bone may pass by itself, sometimes it must be surgically removed.
-Even if you don't feed your pets from the table, it's possible they might help themselves to untended food when no one is looking.
-Besides the dangers associated with overeating, turkey sitting out too long at room temperature can cause salmonella organisms to multiply, poisoning the pet.
One year, the day after Thanksgiving, two dachshunds came into the clinic after snatching the leftover holiday turkey off a coffee table in the middle of the night. Another year a beagle ate a whole ham that was left lying around. It was never determined how these pets with their short legs could reach all this food or why hams and turkeys are being left untended but the result was three sick puppies
So be aware of your pet's abilities. Several years back, someone's pet pig learned how to open the refrigerator door and ended up eating everything inside, making a proverbial "pig of itself" and subsequently changing the expression "sick as a dog" to "sick as a pig."
It's not just gorging on the main course that causes problems. Many of the foods involved with the Thanksgiving dinner are dangerous, even fatal, to dogs. Here's a list of the most common substances:
- Chocolate– especially baking chocolate, can be lethal
- Onions – can destroy a dog's red blood cells, leading to anemia.
- Rich, fatty foods– such as turkey skin or gravy can cause pancreatitis, and inflammation of a digestive gland, and can be very painful and serious.
- Coffee– watch out for grounds and whole beans.
- Alcohol-behavioral changes, staggering, excitement, decreased reflexes even death
- Xylitol-a common artificial sweetener in desserts and sugarless chewing gum, is showing up more frequently in all kinds of food products, even peanut butter.
And it's not just food that can cause problems during the holiday. You may be thankful for family and friends but your pet may be wary, even frightened of a lot of strange, new people coming in the house. If your pet is not comfortable around new faces keep them in a separate room while guests arrive. Make introductions slowly and one at a time.
And make sure while you're welcoming people inside the house your pet is not running outside taking advantage of a frequently open door.
Thanksgiving is just the first act in the annual holiday show. Christmas and New Years Eve, with their own pet pitfalls and hazards are just around the corner. More about that next month!

7 Challenges True lovers face in Relationship
Every good relationship ordained from God must pass through certain challenges. In the same vein, true lovers in a marriage relationship can experience some of these challenges that I want to discuss with you. I will list these trials of love and pend my humble advice on how to overcome them.
1. Rejection - It is possible that not all your would be in laws will like you. You may be in real love with a guy or lady only to meet the worst shock of your life when you visit the parents of your partner. The mother or father may absolutely refuse to accept you for no just reason. His or her siblings may not like you for any reason best known to them. If you find yourself in this situation, don't quit the relationship or run away from your lover because his or her parents don't love you. The best thing to do here is to persist in your love with your partner and intensify your prayer and faith that God will touch the heart of your future inlaws to accept you as you are. Don't pick offense on their ignorance or rejection. Don't insult them. Maintain your love for your lover and also respect his or her parents. Keep seeking their consent spiritually and verbally until you get it. However, if you have done everything humanly possible to get your would be inlaws consent to marry their daughter or son and they refused, if you are very sure and convinced that God is involved in your relationship, you can go ahead to authenticate the marriage through court marriage and church wedding.
2. Financial challenges – It is possible that you may experience some kind of financial hardship in your relationship. Some people find true love and begin to face some kind of battles in their finances. If that relationship is from God, that financial hardship will not last forever. Because God ordained marriage brings divine favour which in turn commands open doors and financial fortunes. If you are facing this challenge, don't abandon your partner and run to someone who has money. A poor man today may become a president of a nation tomorrow. Endurance and patience are the mark of true love.
3. Sickness - When you find true love, sickness may want to test the strength of your love. It is important for you to know that love is not a mere feeling or emotion. Love is a spirit. It is a force that conquers all opposition of the enemy. Love grows in health and in sickness, in pain and in gain, in joy and in sorrow. When your partner falls sick, don't abandon him or her to look for another person. You don't know tomorrow. That's the time to stand with him or her in prayer, encouragement and support.
4. Distance – Out of sight is not out of love. When two lovers are in a real relationship, distance may try to stand as a barrier. The good news is that no distance is strong enough to separate two hearts who have joined together by real love. You can break the barrier of distance and bring your relationship to the point of glory. Thank God for mobile phones. You can call your lover on phone 24/7, you can chat, send SMS etc. Don't allow distance to steal your true love.
5. Job or Career - There are some jobs or career that can pose a great danger on your relationship. The truth about the matter is, you can never run away from meeting people of the opposite sex either in the church, school, bus, petrol station, office or job. So if someone of the opposite sex is always pestering on you for attention or relationship, tell him or her that you have found your true love and mean what you said. Some people singing love songs to you in your office and place of work are mere distractions looking for a cheap guy or girl to use and dump. Cherish, value and safeguard the true love that you have. Don't ever discuss your private life with your colleagues in the office. If you do, you are giving the devil a chance to come into your relationship. Always pretend to be happy even when you are not happy. Don't let people in your office notice sadness or worry in your face and ask you why.
6. Trust – The success of your relationship will depend on Trust. And the failure of it will depend on the lack of trust. If you can't trust your partner, there is no need marrying him or her. If your heart is always beating faster whenever your partner is not around you then something is wrong with you. Trust makes you believe in your partner that he or she will behave well whether you are there or not. Trust will make you to give Your password to your lover without fearing anything. Trust will make you give all you have to your lover and will never regret it afterwards. The problem is that many people have found love, but only few have built trust in their lover. Don't just love your partner, trust him or her. However, don't trust blindly. Prove anyone trust worthy before you trust them.
7. Satanic forces – Every problem in the physical has a root in the spiritual. Marital delay, disappointment, heart break etc don't just happen, there is a demonic force behind it. When you find your true love, Satan and his agents will not be happy to see you get married to your true lover. They will manipulate, attack and fight against your relationship and marriage spiritually. Consequently, you don't need to fold your hands into your legs singing, "what will be, will be". You have to wage spiritual warfare against every satanic force standing in the way of your marital bliss. Prayer and fasting can knock out every demonic obstacle standing in the way of your relationship and marriage.

I'm pretty proud of my 3 year old. We've been working with her for months on the surrogacy concept. She's got it pretty well down. She knows the baby in mommy belly is M&T's. She knows we aren't keeping it. She knows it's going to Australia.
Mom pats herself on the back.
Until this afternoon when she told me that she was born out of M&T's bellies and then she came from Australia to live with me.
Touche, 3 year old touche.
