Why Are Nipples Sore To Touch Sometimes? 9 Possible Causes You Need To Know
Do you ever wonder why nipples are sore to touch sometimes? In a woman's entire life, there is one or many times that she experiences this kind of "phenomenon".
However, there are multitudes of explanations how and why nipples are sore to touch sometimes, and some of the reasons are yet alarming and need to be examined more thoroughly by doctors and experts.
Nipples are a wonderful creation because it gives us pleasure to some extent. But because our nipples are sensitive, minor issue concerning our nipples could give us extreme discomfort.
Here, we are giving you the detailed list of basic reasons why nipples are sore to touch, their underlying causes and their possible remedies.
#1. Wearing Ill-Fitting or Tight Bras
Wearing a wrong bra size is one of the most common causes of nipple misery.
Remember that in ancient times, bras are unknown. Wearing of bras came only in the latter part of our history.
It is good to note that bras' main purpose is to support the weight of breasts for the heavy chested women. Because the weight of breasts for those women who are gifted with large breasts usually makes the breasts painful and causes discomfort.
However, wearing a wrong bra size can not only cause breast discomfort, it also causes nipple sore.According to experts on freedomtoheal.org, wearing a loose bra causes frequent friction of your nipples to your undergarments, and wearing a too tight bra squeezes your nipples. Both cause pain and discomfort of your nipples.
- Wear a right-fitting bra at all times.
- When at home or any place you're staying, try to be bra-less.
- Never wear a bra to sleep
#2. Menstrual Cycle
A number of women often experience having sore nipples when their period is about to come. This is because in this time of the month women's bodies boost estrogen and progesterone hormones level. And with it is the "expansion and widening of a woman's breasts." This makes the nipples hurt.
- Give it some more days. The pain will just go away without doing anything.
#3. Pregnancy
Pregnant women are prone to feeling soreness of their nipples. Experts, according to livescience.com, say "their changing bodies are producing more estrogen, which facilitates the growth of breasts and the eventual production of milk.
Estrogen increases the amount of blood circulating through the body, and when combined with progesterone and other hormones, it can cause nipples to become sore and ultrasensitive."
I, personally, experience this during my first child pregnancy. It really felt discomfort, but as my OB-Gyne advised me to just let it be, as it will go away soon.
- Give it some time, it won't last anyway. There will be some days in your pregnancy when your nipples won't hurt.
- If it's unbearable, try to consult your OB Gynecologist
#4. Breastfeeding
Breastfeeding can obviously make your nipples sore. Especially to first time "breastfeeders".Breastfeeding for some women causes cracking and bleeding of nipples.
The explanation, according to livescience.com is: "as a newborn baby learns to latch onto his or her mother's breasts, the mother's nipples and areolar tissue stretch, causing tenderness of the nipples."
- Use commercial medical-grade modified lanolin, like Lansinoh Breastfeeding Salve - HPA Lanolin, made for breastfeeding mothers. (babycenter.com).
- Use a nursing pillow and a nursing footstool for support to get into a position that works well for you and your baby
- Try to seek lactation experts' advice on how to properly position your baby for breastfeeding.
- Consult your OB Gynecologist before taking any pain killers.
#5. Breast Infection (Mastitis)
This event usually occurs to mothers who are breastfeeding since most often, their nipples are cracked or broken. Bacteria enter the skin through a broken skin tissue in the nipples. It can make your nipples itchy and painful when touched if left untreated.
- Wash your nipples with soap and runner water regularly.
- A dose of antibiotic helps, but make sure to consult your physician first before taking any.
- This may sound icky but try to use cabbage leaves. They contain sulfur compounds that helps reduce inflammation and swelling due to breast infection.
#6. Yeast Infection (Thrush)
When you experience severe and sudden pain and itchiness in your nipples and you're breastfeeding, the usual culprit is yeast infection. Yeast infection, same as bacterial infection, occurs when the nipples are cracked or broken.
Yeast infection is caused by yeast fungus.
- Yeast infection cannot be suppressed by antibiotics, in fact, antibiotics contribute to yeast infection. So don't take antibiotics when you suspect you have thrush.
- Avoid wearing ill-fitting garments as this will cause friction and promotes chaffing of protective layers of the nipple making fungus easily attack the nipples.
- Regularly clean your nipples with soap and warm water, where the water temperature is bearable.
- You can apply topical cream or ointment or oral anti-fungal medicines.
#7. Eczema And Other Skin Diseases
Skin rashes or allergies, dermatitis, and eczema on the nipples are also a common cause of nipple pain. These result to flaky, itchy, breaking of skin in nipples and chaffy nipples, which become very painful if left untreated.
- Try to find out what causes or triggers your allergy or eczema and avoid it.
- Regularly wash with warm water, it suppresses the cause of allergies or eczema.
- Apply moisturizer on your nipples to prevent extreme dryness that causes flaking and chaffing. Better yet, apply water-based petroleum jellies, they are better in locking up moisture in the skin.
#8. Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder that affects the muscles and bones. It causes tissues and muscles to become tender which results to nipple pain. Since there is no known cause for this disorder, it's better to have yourself checked to the doctors and specialists.
- Pain relievers like ibuprofen or tramadol (this one needs doctor's prescription) will lessen its painful effect to your nipples and other areas which are affected by this disorder.
- Consult a physician for proper diagnosis and treatment.
#9. Breast Cancer
This maybe the most feared cause of nipple pain.
Breast cancer, specifically Paget's disease, can cause severe nipple pain.
Breast cancer has no known and definitive cause. However, there are several factors that experts believe are great contributors to breast cancer.
Factors that contribute to breast cancer development:
- Old age – According to studies, the older the woman gets, the higher she is likely to develop breast cancer.
- Genes - those who are carrier of BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are more likely to develop breast cancer.
- Obesity – According to studies on medicalnewstoday.com, overweight women are at high risk of developing breast cancer.
- Estrogen hormone exposure – In the same studies, women who are exposed longer to estrogen hormones are at high risk for the disease.
- Dense breast – Those people who observe their breasts are denser have more likely to a candidate for breast cancer.
- Graveyard shift – There is no definitive studies to conclude its relationship to breast cancer. But based on the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC)'s 2010 experiment revealed that it is "probably carcinogenic" to work that disturbs our body clock.
- Regularly have your breasts examined.
- Immediately see a breast cancer specialist.
- Surgery and chemotherapy.

Well, with this starting out the second year that I haven't had the grill (affectionately known as bird's nest) sitting on my deck, the birds seem to have given up and built a nest under the deck. The deck is over the front door, so I have a pretty good view of it (though not inside of it) from the window next to the door. (Which reminds me, I can probably put the screen back in the door now.)
Meanwhile I took a bike ride down to the waterfall. I was hoping the construction was over, but they seem to have ripped up all the asphalt and left asphalt gravel. This makes the ride a bit bumpier, and a bit more dangerous since some spots are still pretty loose. So far I've only thought of one excuse for this: the path runs along a steep hill by the river, so some parts of the old asphalt were sagging a bit. They may be trying to let the asphalt gravel settle for a while before laying down something smoother. Hopefully I'll remember to ask about when I'm down at the village hall paying my water bill.
There were some people down at the waterfall, watching their dogs play in the water. The dogs seemed to be having a grand old time of it, gleefully climbing UP the waterfall to get out of the stream valley, and making a spot near the top a bit muddier than usual. ;^)
Consequently I went garbage-collecting near the back, and sadly had no trouble filling up my plastic grocery sack until I had to stop. I haven't had any trouble using the grocery sacks before, but I think the asphalt gravel was a BIT too much for it, and the sack finally gave up about a half-mile from home. :-o There wasn't a whole lot else to do except get the stuff off of the sidewalk and go home. I had a drink of water (It was getting nice and hot :-) ) and came back with a sturdier bag. ;^)

Tax lien making an investment can be quite a profitable accessory for your investment profile. However, it is far from without the need of risks. Most sites, ebooks and advertising on the subject has a tendency to forget discussing the health risks related to over due residence duty liens and taxation records. Income tax mortgage committing performs as with every other current market or investment-bigger returns usually correlate with greater pitfalls. Listed below are all 5 of your top rated pitfalls to look at before you take one into taxes liens:
1. Underlying Property Chance. Services or products investor, a tax loan is merely as effective as the underlying investment. You may have gained in the Sarasota retail a income tax certificates earning 18Percent. Not bad! But, hold out. The taxation loan is by using an unbuildable lot within the swamps of Shelter county (only to select on my small favorite region). And, the one who owns the home has simply no affinity for forking over income taxes with this chunk of property because he understands it really is ineffective anf the husband only passed down it from your outrageous big brother. So, here you wait around considering you're generating 18Pct for two many years but when you go to register for foreclosure (TDA), no one deals it at worker sales and you really are now saddled with this swampland accountable for insurance, taxation and its particular servicing.
2. Public Penalties, Judgement and Demolition. This is my overall enemy. As being an opportunist, you may have minimum command over what your welcoming the code enforcement department officer will choose to try to that acreage plot of land or developing you then have a income tax certificates on. And, an inexpensive the owner of the home and property to care for any difficulties. With towns strapped for cash nowadays, it is not unusual to possess Dollar500 penalties and fees whenever the town is released to remove the grass on a smaller parcel. In addition, government entities is offering allows for places to destroy overall blocks of mature properties. What we considered was obviously a awesome, more mature real estate to have a levy loan on might be on the judgement listing and taken down in under a year. And, you've hardly any treatment options to avoid it.
3. Government Blunders. Who could imagine that the govt will make a mistake? Government faults with the purchase are most commonly encountered in expresses whose district officials take care of observing citizens with their misbehavior. But, problems can also occur through the region assessor, the surfaces, as well as the laptop systems taking on taxes. If the error is located, the district will always aspect contrary to the taxes lien buyer. They'll declare your taxation certificates a In .sale made in errorIn and give back overlook the with very little interest next to a minimal governmental price. Evidently this probably won't sound so poor (you were given ignore the back, proper?), visualize your shock once you a had a important, effectively-collateralized levy loan that you just thought received earned 2 years of great interest at 18Per-cent is suddenly directed back with only .5Pct interest because of transcribing mistake.
4. What is Modifications and Trial Judgments. Improvements are built to taxes legislations very often according to the state or town. All it requires a person news story a good elderly few IndoneHalf inch out on the street by an aggressive and devious levy mortgage investor and the legislations modifications that positions your income tax loan in jeopardy. These not-so-welcoming towards the opportunist modifications may become more and more of your difficulty because the foreclosure clutter is handled by the surfaces and legal professional generals hunting to produce a term for independently (Ct bank!). Furthermore, were witnessing an unbelievable slowdown to the court system with most judges consuming their period in reviewing mortgage foreclosures.
5. Chapter 7. This has not been a lot of a concern alternatives. Commonly, in case your delinquent american filed for a bankruptcy proceeding protection, your tax mortgage would nonetheless gain awareness and grow an increased priority around you'll find lender. However, spurred on through the home loan foreclosed ordeal, a bankruptcy proceeding legal courts have become acquiring an active job by reducing the goal of tax liens held by buyers or simply lowering the interest using a mortgage.

1. Re: Adding second SSD to NUC6i7kykTechnoCaveman Jul 22, 2016 5:38 AM (in response to JohnGallagher)
Hi. Like you my NUC is using a Samsung - 950 Pro M.2 512Gb PCIe as well.
So far no issues booting either Legacy or UEFI. Both times the SSD was in the far right slot, but that should not make a difference.
The NUC will boot in Legacy mode with Samsung in it. However, test it. If you put just the Samsung SSD drive in the NUC, re start your NUC and go into BIOS by pressing F2 during startup, does it see the SSD ??
2. Re: Adding second SSD to NUC6i7kykN.Scott.Pearson Jul 22, 2016 6:34 AM (in response to TechnoCaveman)
Inserting a second SSD should not cause any visualization issues with the original. What happens if you move the original SSD into the other slot? Does it too fail then? If it works, try putting the new SSD into the other slot and see if the same issue occurs.
Have you installed the latest available BIOS? If not, try this and see if it makes a difference (unlikely but worth trying).
You may have a bad slot - in which case, you likely will have to return the unit and get a replacement. Contact Intel Customer Support to discuss the issue and, if necessary, set up the RMA.
Hope this helps,
3. Re: Adding second SSD to NUC6i7kykJohnGallagher Jul 22, 2016 7:23 AM (in response to JohnGallagher)
OK. I've done a bit of investigation.
For some reason it is fussy which slot the M2 cards are fitted into.
The machine works fine if I have the 256GB SSD in either slot (with the other slot empty).
If I have the 256GB card in the M2_B slot (nearest the side of the motherboard) and the 512GB card in M2_A, the machine does not recognise the 256GB card, and wont boot because there is no OS on the 512GB card.
If I swap the cards, the machine boots up & I can see both SSD cards.
No idea why this is the case, but its working :-)
4. Re: Adding second SSD to NUC6i7kykJohnGallagher Jul 22, 2016 7:25 AM (in response to N.Scott.Pearson)
Will check BIOS and update if there's a new one, but as I said below, its working now.
Thanks to both of you for your suggestions.
5. Re: Adding second SSD to NUC6i7kykTechnoCaveman Jul 22, 2016 1:04 PM (in response to JohnGallagher)
Hi. Wow. I hope someone form Intel will chime in on if having the SSDs in slots A, B by size makes a difference. Should not - but .....
When I get home I would like to check "Boot order"
If I may ask - what make and model is the 256Gb SSD ??
6. Re: Adding second SSD to NUC6i7kykJul 25, 2016 12:06 PM (in response to JohnGallagher)This message was posted on behalf of Intel Corporation
Thank you very much for all the information provided by all the peers on this thread.
To JohnGallagher:
It is great to hear that the NUC s working fine now.
However, I just wanted to let you all know that the NUC should recognize both SSD's regardless of the M.2 slot where they are connected, it is not based on size, but on boot priority the SSD that contains the OS should be set as the first device in there, by doing that should work just fine.
Since now it is working fine, the BIOS update is not necessary, but in case you want to try it, here is the link to do the BIOS update using the F7 method:
And here is the .BIO file that you need to do the update:
Any questions, please let me know.

It seems that sites like Facebook and MySpace are having problems with our Privacy. Blogs are still a great way for people to share their life stories. YouTube is king of showing the world a great video of something you saw. Twitter is the way to keep friends and family up to date on what is going on that very moment. However, it seems that the more we try to be "social" on most social networks, the more we open ourselves to privacy issues. Is to much info becoming a problem? What seems to be the route we can see before us that proves that Less is indeed More? Does Twitter have it right? And has most popular social networks got it completely wrong?
It seems to me that most of the popular social network sites are all about games. You can not go to your Facebook wall without a bombardment of "achievements" your friends have made in a game, while asking you to join them. Games like Mafia Wars are more about popularity contests that actual skill or work. The higher number of "friends" you have, the better chances you have at accomplishing goals. Not all games on Facebook and MySpace are like that, though. Farmville does demonstrate a level of actual play. You don't need a slew of friends to accomplish most goals, but having friends to send "gifts" to help build things does help.
These sites all seem to want you to fill out details, though. It is almost to the point of wanting you to put your most intimate details on your profile for the world to see. If you don't fill it all out, you get little messages telling you that you forgot some details. You try to ignore them, but they pop up from time to time. If you are anything like me, you hate filling out forms like these "half way". Some put in false information, just to fill it out. Others just put up with the "reminders". Others put it up, then lock it away, however not everyone knows how to do that. Facebook and MySpace don't go out of their ways to educate users how to make private information just that, private. Facebook has a good idea with attempting social networking, but it feels almost more like social engineering.
We are no longer in an age where we are tethered directly to our desktop computers. We have affordable laptops and netbooks. We have iPads and Smartphones. We are mobile. We move around. We want to share information without having to sit down and log onto a computer. We want to pick up our phone and instantly connect. Facebook and MySpace have decent apps, but Twitter gives us more connections. It also shares less details on our profiles. What information you share is what information you tweet.
Yes, Twitter has gotten some fire, like Google's Buzz and Latitude, with openly sharing our location, but we can turn these off. It is pretty straight forward and not hidden away in levels of privacy settings accessed by a small link. Smart users know the benefit of such features.
I truly feel that Social Networks need to refocus. Adopt the less is more mentality. Don't "remind" us that our profiles are partially filled out. We know it isn't "completed" because that is how we want it to be. Let us connect how we want to connect. If you want to be a social network, be one. If you want to be a gaming site, be one. If you want to be both, then get with the game makers and make games we can actually get into and enjoy. Let us share what we want to share, when we want to, how we want to, where we want to.
If Facebook and MySpace want to push mobile social networking, they need to spruce up their apps and make them more featureful to match what their desktop browser counterparts can do. If not, then sit back and watch sites like Twitter grow stronger and go beyond what you can do.

Rib vertebral angle measurement and its significance was brought in by Dr Mehta. Measurement of this angle has an important implication in infantile idiopathic scoliosis as it differentiates between progressive and resolving type of scoliosis.
Infantile idiopathic scoliosis is is first diagnosed between birth and 3 years of age. This category comprises about 1% of all idiopathic scoliosis in children and 60% of patients are males. The diagnosis of idiopathic infantile scoliosis is based on the age of onset, the absence of any other spinal cord problems, the location of the curve, findings on physical examination, and x-rays. T
Mehta rib vertebral angle degree difference has greater prognostic value. The Mehta angle is determined by identifying the vertebra in the apex or middle of the curve and measuring the difference in the angle of each rib attaching to the vertebra
A Rib vertebral angle difference of 20 degrees or less is associated with a non progressive or resolving curve in most cases.
How To Measure The Rib Vertebral Angle?
- A line is drawn perpendicular to the apical vertebral end plate [a]
- Another line is drawn from the midneck to the midhead of the corresponding rib [b]
The angle formed by the intersection of these lines is the Rib Vertebral Angle or RVA.
For calculating the rib vertbral angle difference (RVAD), the angle on the other side is calculated as well.
The difference between the values of the rib vertebral angles on the concave and convex sides of the curve is rib vertebral angle difference or RVAD.
Significance of Rib Vertebral Angle Difference
If the convex apical rib head does not overlap the apical vertebral body, a curve with an initial RVAD of 20 degrees or more is considered progressive.
If the convex apical rib head overlaps the apical vertebral body on the anteroposterior radiograph, progression is highly likely.

What is your previous work experience?
Most recently, I served as the Community Agriculture Director at Athens Land Trust in Georgia, where I oversaw multiple sustainable agriculture programs, a farmers market and 2 urban farms. Prior to joining the Land Trust team, I was an Impact Manager with City Year; and, before that, I ran a youth development program in DC and directed summer programming at an outdoor education center. I was also an outdoor educator at two outdoor schools and am a proud Returned Peace Corps Volunteer (Thailand, '03-'05).
Why did you choose the Nicholas School?
Of the graduate programs I considered, I felt the deepest connection with the Nicholas School. I was quite impressed with and drawn to the school's interdisciplinary approach, the courses offered and the outstanding faculty. I am very interested in engaging in meaningful scientific research and exploring ways to bridge research, policy and management strategies, and the Nicholas School has an excellent reputation for providing these types of learning opportunities. Also, it seems that the Nicholas School community genuinely values the backgrounds and experiences of all students, staff and faculty. And, I have also been extremely impressed with the career services office.
Do you have any areas of interest or special focus you will undertake during your time at the Nicholas School?
I am particularly interested in aquatic ecosystem management within the Ecosystem Science and Conservation concentration. I am also very interested in sustainable agriculture and sustainable food systems.
What are you looking forward to as a new Nicholas School student?
I am very excited to be a part of and learn alongside such an inspiring community of people. I am really looking forward to expanding my knowledge of the natural sciences, while simultaneously strengthening my ability to make connections among science, management and policy. I am also excited to explore the Duke Forest, learn about the local community and have some outdoor NC adventures.
What are you doing this summer before you arrive at the Nicholas School?
I am wrapping up two awesome years at a land trust in Georgia, helping out at two local urban farms, taking a couple of classes, enjoying the Athens music scene and prepping for my move to NC.

43 New-to-Me ... #37 Kiwano
Next up for my 43 New-to-Me birthday challenge is #37, kiwano. This fruit is part of the cucumber and melon family, but it's the exterior that made me buy it.
I like cucumbers and I like melons, but I wasn't crazy about the kiwano. To me, it tasted more like banana than melon. I don't love bananas. It definitely had a squash taste, but the texture was unfamiliar. The jelly simply did not want to separate from the seeds. The seeds are edible, but too large for me to want to eat. I gave the kiwano a 4. Steve said 3 and Trevor said 5. So not the worst thing I've tried by far, but not the best either.

FAIRFIELD COUNTY, Conn. -- Connecticut was ranked the third-best state for child health care, according to financial website WalletHub.
WalletHub graded each state in 28 different metrics that were broken into three key categories:
- Access To Health Care
- Nutrition and Physical Activity
- Oral Health
The Nutmeg State placed fifth in Nutrition and Physical Activity and sixth in Access to Health Care. It's high overall ranking was buoyed by its high percentage of children ages 0-17 who made medical and dental preventive care visits in the last year.
Vermont ranked first overall with Massachusetts coming in second. Neighbor Rhode Island was ranked seventh, while New York placed closer to the middle of the pack at No. 20.

Finally! My ever-dreaded finals week is done. After studying for tests I put off, prepping for class presentations, decorating a poster board, and tying all loose ends together, I have finally completed my fifth collegiate finals week. There were a few unexpected incidents to deal with, a complete lack of sleep, and maybe a tear or two, but I can now proudly say that my fifth semester as an undergraduate at Ball State University is done with. YIKES.
Without a doubt, this semester has been completely unexpected, yet at the same time, amazing. I will not say that it was the best yet because I say that every semester. What I will say is that because this semester was so fantastic, I know that there are even better things ahead of me. I feel as if I am officially in the home stretch, with only three semesters standing in between me and my diploma. Granted, that is still a year and a half away, but I am now closer to graduation than first semester freshman year.
Semester proud moment: My ability to multitask and juggle all of my responsibilities. Between my full-time student course load, Executive Council positions in Sigma Kappa and Fraternal Values Society, part-time job at the credit union, and involvement in Cardinal Corps, I am exhausted. Yet, I managed to accomplish everything I had hoped for and even more. There have been moments I really doubted myself and cried over trivial things (like the time I thought I lost my keys but ended up finding them in the front door) but all in all, I am truly proud of my accomplishments.
Semester learning point: I definitely learned that there are several aspects of life that are uncontrollable, point blank. You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control how you react to it. I think I read that in a quote somewhere. Nonetheless, it is absolutely accurate. I am going to approach 2016 with grace and a realization that I cannot, and do not, control every aspect of my life.
Looking ahead: If it is even possible at all, I think that 2016 is going to be even better than 2015. In January, I will begin my year-long term as President of the Gamma Eta Chapter of Sigma Kappa. I will be continuing my job with Thrive Credit Union as Marketing Assistant, as well as picking up a freelance position as a Copywriter with BC Digital Marketing in Muncie. I am going to continue my involvement with Fraternal Values Society as well as begin involvement in the Student Rights and Community Standards University Review Board on Campus. Yes, I know what you are thinking. I am crazy. When will I have time to breathe? But do not worry, I will find time. I think I am actually looking forward to it.

Thank you Alamo travel group...for helping me and my husband book our wedding/honeymoon! Sandra booked approximately 30+ people for us and it is greatly appreciated! Sandra was so professional and patient through out the whole process...which is hard to do with 30+ personalities. We are so grateful that we landed such a wonderful travel agent/agency. Thanks again! :)
Nicole V.
I called Alamo Travel Group with only a few months to spare for our honeymoon. We wanted to go to Peru, and it was our good fortune that they were experienced in booking Peru trips. After I detailed where we wanted to go and how much we could spend, Mary Jo got to work. Mary Jo dealt with a lot of our itinerary and bookings. She worked with a tour company in Peru for us and came up with an amazing trip itinerary for the few days we could spend in Peru.
We were thrilled with how quickly Mary Jo and everyone at Alamo Travel group was able to get our trip together. In less than 1 week when I had initially contacted them, we were all booked. It took an amazing load off our shoulders to have it all done.Alamo Travel Group took care of absolutely everything; we were able to purchase travel insurance and almost everything was included in the very modest price we paid. The only things that weren't included were a few meals and spending money. Our trip went extremely smoothly and we couldn't be happier with Alamo Travel. We've been recommending them to everyone we know since we got back from our honeymoon, and we're planning on working with them again for any and all upcoming trips we plan on taking. Though we live in Wisconsin, we can't imagine working with anyone else for our travel needs. Definitely book your honeymoon or any other trip with the wonderful staff at Alamo Travel Group. You simply cannot do all the things they do on your own, and they are very willing to help you plan your dream trip!

BlackBerry may not be building its phones anymore, but it is making apps.
BlackBerry has unveiled a brand new Android app called Notable. With it, users can capture what's displayed on their phone's screen and then edit that content with free-form drawing, stickers, and text. It's a quick way to make notes on whatever you happen to be looking at.
After you've made the notations you want, you can then quickly share that content to another service, such as Evernote, BlackBerry Hub, and others. You can also edit the quick share option to select a specific app you'd like to share it with.
Right now, the Notable app is only available for BlackBerry-branded Android devices, including the PRIV, DTEK50, and the DTEK60. However, BlackBerry says the app will become available to non-BlackBerry handsets in the near future.
How many different note-taking apps do you have on your phone?

Bella Hadid Reveals the Playlist That Puts Her to Sleep Every Single Night
Getting a good night's rest is something we all strive (and struggle) for, and famous sleepers don't have it any easier. Especially when you have a schedule like Bella Hadid. Between walking every other runway during fashion month, launching your own collaboration with Chrome Hearts, and redefining the revenge body, Hadid's agenda makes it difficult to imagine how she was able to catch any z's. But the model spilled her biggest sleep secret in a recent interview with Teen Vogue, a little trick she swears by to fall asleep faster where ever she is—be in New York, LA, Paris, or Milan.
"I recently started listening to mediation music which makes me have a deeper sleep, even if I just have four hours," Hadid told the magazine. Her favourite is the 50 Best Meditation Songs Collection on iTunes. A quick listen makes it clear why she uses the playlist to lull her to sleep, no matter what she's doing or where she is. "I'm usually out by the fourth song," she says.

Have you been to your primary care physician lately? Chances are if you are in your twenties, it has been awhile since you paid your doctor a visit. Whether it has been a time issue or a lack of health insurance, many young adults skip out on yearly physicals; unless the car acts up, then we don't take it in for regular diagnostics. Although you may feel all right, physically how has your mental health been lately? Perhaps you have been feeling stressed out, depressed, anxious, or inattentive for some time.
In the field of mental health counseling, there is a large volume of clinical terms that in totality make up the Diagnostic Statistical Manual (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). One of the terms used to describe a condition that is happily sharing its host with another ailment is known as comorbidity (Valderas, 2009). In a simpler explanation, the depression, anxiety, or even psychosis you may be experiencing could have a contributing physical condition. According to the Center for Disease Control, almost a quarter of Americans are suffering from a mental illness but not from mental illness alone. "Mental illness is an important public health problem in itself—about 25% of U.S. adults have a mental illness—but also because it is associated with chronic medical diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity" (2013).
There are many obvious conditions such as cancer or amputations causing depression, but there are other disorders you may not be aware of that are aggravating your mental status. Consider hypothyroidism for example: according to Harvard Medical School (2011), approximately ten million people in the United States have the disorder known or unknown to them. Hypothyroidism is a key culprit to depression as it greatly affects the hormone levels linked to the pituitary gland functions.
Maybe depression is not your struggle, but anxiety floods your system when you have to go out somewhere. Is getting out of the house causing trouble for fear of your intestines flipping out on you? Irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis can wreak havoc on your stomach causing you to be less social; constantly needing to locate a restroom can be embarrassing. The Anxiety and Depression Association of America points out that "…up to 70 percent of people with IBS are not receiving treatment. Of those who do seek treatment, research has found that 50 to 90 percent have a psychiatric disorder such as an anxiety disorder or depression" (2016).
Comorbidity is not simply a mental illness masking another medical condition. It can also work in reverse as a physical condition or symptom develops as mental or emotional stress takes over. Life is hard, and there is no getting around it sometimes. When we are not mindful of our thoughts, experiences, and stress levels, it can creep up on us in physical manifestations. For example, posttraumatic stress disorder can take quite a toll on a person physically. Night sweats, sleeplessness, weight loss, increased heart rate, and chronic fatigue are just a few symptoms.
"Mental pain is less dramatic than physical pain, but it is more common and also more hard to bear. The frequent attempt to conceal mental pain increases the burden: it is easier to say "My tooth is aching" than to say 'My heart is broken'."
C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain
Whether it's a trip to the doctor's or a day off to see a counselor, take care of yourself. Pain is a side effect of being human, but it doesn't have to be a lifestyle.

The January 2014 issue of Real Simple Magazine has really been an inspiration to my organized life.
One Article in particular talked about the 9 Rules of Balanced Organizing
I mean really? An article that is just one page tells a lot!!!! Here are the 9 mantras
- One in, one out: Whenever something enters your home, give another item the boot.
- Thou shalt not transfer clutter: Don't bury the den to save the dining room
- Just (to) do it: Consolidate all your to-do items into a single check-list, whether on your phone or on your refrigerator.
- A to Z (not A.D.D): Fix one spot start to finish rather than jumping around from mess to mess
- Keep it where you use it: Stash toner with the printer, chandelier bulbs in the dining-room console
- Have a place for nothing: Aim to create one empty cabinet, shelf, or drawer in each room. It's your backup spot when the balance tips. (and it will tip)
- Make Labels, not war: Mark shelves, bins, and boxes so everyone in your home can help put things away.
- Doubles are trouble: You don't need two can openers or five pairs of tweezers. Toss duplicates
- Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again: Organizing is a circle, not a straight line. Roll with it.
What mantras are you going to live by? Remember to keep it simple don't try to do everything at once that only leads to burn out (it's the same with diet and weight loss people!)
Have a great rest of your week!!!!!

It was supposed to be a surprise: a dollop of sports car news at an auto show dominated by pickup trucks.
But the cat is out of the bag with numerous confirmations that Ford will reveal the 2019 Mustang Bullitt later today at the North American International Auto Show. The famed Mustang will be part of a press event to show the 2019 Ford Ranger midsize pickup and the Ford Edge crossover that has added a performance ST variant.
The timing of the Bullitt kind of gave it away. The return of a special-edition, high-performance Mustang Bullitt comes on the 50th anniversary of the Steve McQueen movie that made the green machine so famous. The 1968 movie Bullitt features one of cinema's best car chases starring McQueen's Highland Green Mustang GT 390 fastback.
The reincarnation is expected to get similar dark green paint and five-spoke black wheels. We will bring you further details from the event later today.
Ford updated the Mustang lineup for the 2018 model year and notched 81.866 sales last year. While that was down 22.7 percent from the prior year, it still topped Camaro sales of 67,940 which were down 6.6 percent
The first Bullitt off the line is expected to be auctioned off Jan. 19 with proceeds going to the Boy's Republic boys school in California that Steve McQueen attended and continues to support.
The first Mustang Bullitt was in 2001 with better power and handing than the GT of the day. It returned in 2008 and again in 2009. The last batch was a limited run of 3,000 units powered by a 4.6-liter three-valve V-8.
The 2018 Mustang lineup has a 2.3-liter direct-injection turbocharged four-cylinder EcoBoost engine that generates 310 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque on 93-octane fuel. The Mustang will be built at Ford's Flat Rock, Michigan, plant — the 2018 Mustang is pictured below.

By Morten Rostrup
Morten Rostrup is international council president of Medicins sans
Frontieres (MSF), the organization awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999.
BRUSSELS -- A global ''war on terror'' was quickly announced after
the massacres took place in New York and Washington on Sept. 11 last year.
In a few weeks the U.S. government managed to create a worldwide alliance
to fight terrorism, and this ''new war'' became the main focus for the
time to come. The consequences of this war, however, went far beyond toppling
the Taliban regime and hunting down Al Qaeda terrorists.
One obvious consequence of the U.S.-led attack on ''terrorists'' has been
the effective green light given to other governments and regimes engaged
in their own domestic ''counter-terrorist'' actions, particularly where
these actions relate to Muslim minorities. The political logic of the
war on terror seems to imply that because the terrorists do not, by definition,
respect international conventions, anti-terrorist operations may therefore
have a freer hand.
A culture of near-total impunity has developed in which transgressions
of international humanitarian law are overlooked by Western governments
and the media, as long as they are carried out by ''allies.''
We noted with equal dismay the lack of respect of international humanitarian
law when the Israeli military were preventing the delivery of humanitarian
assistance and evacuation of wounded during their campaign in the Jenin
refugee camp earlier this year. When allies in the war on terror fail
to uphold international humanitarian law and nothing is said about it,
what lessons are being absorbed by the terrorists and regimes engaging
in civil wars?
International humanitarian law was created to protect and assist noncombatants
in times of war and crisis, yet despite being invoked rhetorically by
all sides, respect for its basic provisions is under threat -- and now
more than ever.
Medicins sans Frontieres has over the past year witnessed and reported
the plight of war victims, refugees and the displaced in the Mano River
region in West Africa, in Sudan's Western Upper Nile Province and in Angola.
In many contexts round the world, conflicts continue to target civilian
populations, and forcible displacement, massacres, massive exploitation
and hopelessness are the result.
In Angola, for example, both the government and UNITA performed bloody
atrocities against the civilian population, deliberately violating international
humanitarian law, yet the international community has done nothing to
address these violations. Far from being subject to investigations into
its reported war crimes, the Angolan government will next year have a
seat on the U.N. Security Council. The clear message here is that prosecutions
for violations of international humanitarian law clearly do not apply
to the victors.
Instances like the U.S. bombing of the International Committee of the
Red Cross warehouses in Kabul, the dropping of cluster bombs into heavily
populated areas (leaving behind a legacy of unexploded bomblets that indiscriminately
injure civilians), unacceptable damage during the Tora Bora bombing, hidden
under the word ''collateral,'' are violations of international humanitarian
law and must be opposed, irrespective of the cause that is being pursued.
MSF feels also that an independent investigation is warranted into the
possible war crimes carried out by Northern Alliance forces in Afghanistan,
backed by the Western coalition -- both in Mazar-i-Sharif, where a prison
mutiny was crushed by air strikes killing several hundreds prisoners of
war, and in Kunduz, where hundreds of combatants were massacred last autumn
after surrendering.
If an investigation is not pursued, the lack of such action will further
undermine the respect for international humanitarian law and make the
protection of noncombatants much harder.
Civilians' vulnerability has not only increased due to the weakening of
international humanitarian law but also at stake is the independence of
humanitarian action. In the wake of the launch of war on terrorism, there
has been an increasing tendency to subordinate humanitarian action to
political agendas and military strategies. Humanitarian action is more
and more seen as an integral part of an overall strategy. Since the very
beginning the Bush administration has argued that the anti-terrorism campaign
was ''being fought at home and abroad through multiple operations, including
diplomatic, military, financial, investigative, homeland security and
humanitarian actions.'' British Prime Minister Tony Blair has gone even
further in speaking of a ''military-humanitarian coalition.''
As an independent humanitarian organization, we are vigorously opposed
to this. Mixing military and so-called humanitarian interventions may
in the end endanger effective aid to civilians. Once the two have been
mixed together, who will be able to tell the difference? How can civilians
trust humanitarian aid to be independent? Our teams in Afghanistan have
time and again the last year observed military personnel from the international
coalition force in civilian clothes with concealed guns, driving civilian
cars. We have also met other special forces in civilian clothes, carrying
guns, who claimed they were on a ''humanitarian mission.''
If armies engaged in the fighting are involved in delivering humanitarian
assistance, it can be regarded by their opponents as an act of war.
Civilians will in the end suffer if humanitarian action is seen as partisan,
and aid and aid workers can easily be targeted. Humanitarian aid promotes
a concern for humanity and dignity in times of violence. This relies on
a respect for the impartiality of aid agencies and their independence
from the pursuit of military causes. This is a precondition for being
able to give aid solely based on needs. The politicized and militarized
''humanitarian'' concept now increasingly emerging is not what has been
described in the Geneva conventions where humanitarian action is required
to be neutral, independent and impartial.
We have also observed, with great concern, the reduction in media space
and attention to those foreign stories that do not have a direct link
to the war on terror.
Even before September 2001 we admittedly struggled to convince media of
the importance of covering stories outside their nations' direct geopolitical
sphere of influence. International attention to humanitarian issues was
always notoriously fickle and patchy. But at least sometimes we achieved
success, and the world would heed the suffering of people in places such
as Africa. It is now nearly nonexistent, certainly in the Anglo-Saxon
media, unless a link can be made to the war on terror. Despite witnessing
the worst mortality and malnutrition rates for years in Angola in spring
2002, for example, media coverage of this situation was extremely difficult
to attain, as is coverage of the human cost of the continuing conflict
in Democratic Republic of Congo and Burundi. Clearly, resources and focus
are elsewhere.
In stark contrast to the crassly insufficient level of Western political
and financial commitment to global deprivation, it was telling to observe
after Sept. 11 that it was entirely possible within a matter of weeks
to mobilize a worldwide political coalition and billions and billions
of dollars to fight Al Qaeda and the Taliban because they were considered
a common threat. Lack of financial resources was not an issue -- there
was only the question of political will.

The application process can either be done with spray application, hand or machine squeegee. Our professionals at AAA Top Quality Asphalt understand the importance of every aspect of asphalt seal coating.
When we arrive at your project, the first thing we do is provide motion of traffic and pedestrian control by barricading and coning off the area to minimize confusion and disruption to your home or business. We then begin the meticulous process of cleaning the existing pavement in preparation for the seal coat application. While we are cleaning, you can expect us to use walk-behind blowers, broom tractors, steel brooms and/or shovels. We pay special attention to gasoline and oil spills, as these stains are slowly working at deteriorating your asphalt the longer they are left untreated. An oil spot primer is applied to these areas before the asphalt seal coating process begins to provide the extra treatment these spots need. Our experienced staff then cuts all the edges (curb and grass lines, etc.) using specially-designed seal coat mops. This ensures that overspray is avoided. Once we are satisfied that the cleaning, priming and cutting steps are sufficient, we begin the process of thoroughly seal coating your asphalt.
At AAA Top Quality Asphalt, we are located in the Lakeland, Florida area and are committed to the top-quality work our name promises. By regularly applying seal coat, we can more than double the service life of your asphalt. Contact us today to set up an appointment for asphalt seal coating.

Recorded shortly before the news reports of Bowie's death, I did a wild and wacky segment on Henson's spandex classic with Bowie, The Labyrinth. In this talk I cover my in-depth written analysis of the esoteric and occult elements of this children's fantasy, replete with Jungian references, Egyptian hermeticism and the Golem.

Learn how in 1878, the railroad crossing Minnesota reached Pembina—establishing a rail link between St. Paul and Winnipeg—in this video from the Steamboats on the Red series. The link opened up the way goods could be transported from one city to another. Ironically, the first steam train to arrive in western Canada arrived via a steamboat traveling along the Red River. After the railroad arrived, the steamboat industry never recovered.
Looking at the shallow twists and turns of the Red River, it's hard to imagine that steam-powered paddlewheel boats were once the most important transportation link between St. Paul, Minnesota, and Winnipeg, Manitoba. From the first in 1859 to the last that sank in 1909, Red River steamboats hauled thousands of settlers and millions of tons of freight across the border between the United States and Canada. Although it lasted barely 50 years, the age of the steamboat forged a commercial network between the two countries that exists to this day in the Interstate-29 corridor.
