In this chapter:
This chapter covers how to view system notifications inside Pressero and describes what the system notifications mean. Pressero tracks four different types of system notifications and makes them available to view directly from the main menu at the top right of the admin window. You can view the most recent system notifications in a panel (up to the last 10), or click the "View All" button inside the panel to view a List Page that displays all the system notifications. The List Page allows you to sort and open the notification to view more details.
Note: System Notifications are unrelated to Email Notifications, covered in Ch. 020 Admin Users and Ch. 045 Adding/Editing Site Users.
Click the icon in the upper right corner to open the System Notifications panel (see the example below). The panel opens on the right side of the page and displays the latest system notifications (up to 10). (More on the System Notifications Panel below.)
Click the "View All" button in the panel to open the System Notifications List Page (shown below). (More on the System Notifications List Page below.)
The following types of notifications are defined as System Notifications within Pressero.
The graphic below shows an example of each notification type in the panel.
Informational notifications are sent by Aleyant and may contain links to additional information about the topic.
Success Notifications signal the successful synchronization of an embedded service (example: Presswise). This notification is generated when the process finishes without errors, otherwise a "Unable to start Embedded Service Synchronization due to one or more errors" notification is generated.
Pressero errors occur when there are issues with the following:
Error Notification Examples
"Failed to generate emails for the Order" - this error indicates that the order was placed in Pressero, but the "New order" email was not generated (for some reason). This notification occurs so that subscribers do not miss new orders.
"Unable to start Embedded Service Synchronization due to one or more errors" - in the event of a global order synchronization (if it was run from the Preferences level for all the subscriber's sites), some sites could be still in the synchronization process. Subscriber action: wait for all synchronizations to complete.
"Failed to generate eDocBuilder files for the Order" - this error indicates that Pressero tried to download production files from eDocBuilder but for some reason they were not available and Pressero stopped to do new attempts. Subscriber action: generate order manually.
"Failed to Push Order" - this error indicates that the order was not sent to an external system via an Embedded Services plug-in. Subscriber action: go to the related order item and check the logs on the "Embedded Services" tab. This could be the result of a network error or missed mapping. Fix issue(s) based on the error message in the log and try again manually (click "Push" button on the Embedded Service).
"Failed to send email to the recipient" - this error indicates that the email was not sent. Subscriber action: check that the user email address is valid and/or check SMTP settings, then go to Email Notifications History and re-send the email. If you are not using your own SMTP settings and you have verified that the email is correct and it is still not being delivered, contact Support for more details on why it was not delivered.
"Failed to send hook" - this error indicates that a Webhook notification was not sent to a destination server. Subscriber action: go to Admin > Preferences > Webhooks, find the related webhook and open the Logs tab to determine the reason for the error, fix, and attempt a retry.
Warnings occur in two situations:
The System Notifications Panel displays (up to) the last 10 unread system notifications generated.
The parts of the System Notifications Panel are shown below:
The System Notifications List Page displays a list of all system notifications in the order received. The list page allows you to sort by Type or Read/Unread, and to view notification details.
The parts of the System Notifications List Page are shown below:
System Notification permissions are set in Admin Groups. See Ch. 021 Admin Groups.

Plastic Waste
91% of plastic waste is not recycled, out of 6.3 billion tonnes of plastic waste that we produce worldwide, only 9% is recycled. Half of the resins and fibers found in plastics have been produced in the past thirteen years. China alone accounts for 28% of the world's resin and 68% of polyester, polyamide and acrylic fibers.
The United States ranks behind Europe (30% of recycled plastic) and China (25%) in recycling. France shows poor performance in terms of plastic waste recycling with an average rate of around 20%.
dolor et nibh.
Public Health
Day after day, we eat, drink and breathe plastic.
Every human being consumes some 2000 tiny particles every week without knowing it. Which is about 5 grams - the weight of a credit card or plastic bottle cap.
Because plastic is not biodegradable. Under the influence of natural elements, it disintegrates into ever smaller shards, which end up dispersing everywhere: at sea, on arctic glaciers, in the mountains. The researchers found microplastic in the most remote places. Smaller than 5 millimeters in size, these particles are transported by water in the atmosphere and travel great distances.
As they feed, both oceanic fauna and terrestrial insects and animals swallow tiny, insoluble particles without realizing it. And humans end up eating these animals. In addition, imperceptible grains enter our body through cosmetics, plastic packaging of certain foods or synthetic dishes. Drinking water, mainly from bottles, is thus the greatest source of ingestion of plastic.
In one semester, a human being drinks and eats an average of 125 grams of plastic. Which fills a large dessert bowl. In a year, our body absorbs and feeds a whole plate of microplastic.
Each year, according to Unesco figures, more than 1 million seabirds and more than 100,000 marine mammals die from plastic waste. Cetaceans, fish, reptiles and birds confuse plastics with prey, and stop eating because they feel full. The plastic obstructs the animal's airways, or the accumulated gas affects their ability to move.
It must be said that our oceans are overflowing with plastic: 8 million tonnes of plastic waste ends up in the oceans each year.
Not to mention the micro-plastics on the beaches and the waste in the abyss which has not yet been quantified ...
Most of the 6 trillion cigarettes put into circulation each year are fitted with filters, and half of these end up in the wild due to a lack of effective legislation where it exists and a global awareness of this subject.
However, we know today that the degradation process of a cigarette filter can be very long. Between one and two years, and one of its plastic components, cellulose acetate, takes between ten and eleven years.
By their composition, cigarettes represent a major environmental hazard. Directly submerged in the sea, a cigarette butt containing more than 7000 chemical elements, including heavy metals (cadmium, lead, chromium, mercury), or tar, can pollute up to 500 liters of water.
This toxicity in the marine environment has direct effects: in less than four days, a single butt can destroy up to half of the fauna in a liter of water. The micro-aquatic environment is not the only one affected, since different fish, particularly starved by overfishing, can ingest the cigarette butts, possibly leading to their death, intoxication, or a deceptive feeling of satiety. The non-smoker is not spared from the harmful effects of this pollution linked to the chemicals contained in cigarettes. Indeed, it has been revealed that these cigarette butts are found in the stomachs of fish and on our plates eventually. In France, it is estimated that a thousand cigarette butts are thrown into nature every second. In Paris alone, two billion cigarette butts are collected every year, or 350 tonnes.
. Maecenas congue vehicula mi, id luctus mi scelerisque nec.
It is the second most produced waste on the planet, after cigarette butts. As they are not biodegradable, they permanently pollute waterways. They also have economic impacts because it is very expensive to clean sidewalks. For the area of Oxford Street in London alone, it costs the city a million pounds a year (around 1.4 million euros). In Toronto, there were 719 million chewing gum crushed on the sidewalks, or about 2,000 tons! The way in which all this plastic deteriorates the quality of the water is therefore not anecdotal.
However, the basis of chewing gum consists of synthetic gum made with petroleum derivatives. In the past, people chewed natural gums made from tree sap. But today any industrial chewing gum is made up of over 100 different chemical ingredients. You should know that most chewing gum is made from petroleum polymers. Like a lot of things after all ... It's a process roughly similar to the production of tire gums. For example Goodyear, the manufacturer of tires, is also the producer of the raw material for the Wrigley brand of chewing gum, to which we owe the "Freedents".
Sun Cream
When you swim with sunscreen on your skin, chemicals like oxybenzone seep into the water and then get absorbed by the corals. These substances disrupt the reproduction and growth cycle of corals, thus leading to their bleaching. We would even keep some of these toxins on our skin. Even if you don't bathe after applying sunscreen, it may leak out while you shower. Aerosols often spray large amounts of sunscreen into the sand which is eventually washed into the oceans. Every year, nearly 14,000 tonnes of sunscreen end up in the seas.

So much has happened in the news since Bill Maher closed out his 16th season of Real Time on HBO back in November that he couldn't wait until this coming Friday's 17th season premiere to share his thoughts. The comedian spent about 10 minutes chopping it up with MSNBC host Chris Matthews Tuesday evening, tackling everything from the latest revelations about Trump and Putin to the Steve King debacle and more.
Asked by the Hardball host right off the bat what he makes of Trump reportedly "working for the bad guys" in Russia, Maher replied, "It's about time."
"I've been using the word 'treason' and 'traitor' for the whole time he's been in office and every guest has been saying I was an alarmist and I was overstating the case," he continued. "I don't hear that anymore. I hear those words used a lot more."
"I mean, what is it when you're plainly with the people who are not us?" Maher asked. "Didn't we see that in Helsinki? Plainly, he was saying given the choice I'd go with President Putin, 'President Putin says he didn't do it, I don't know why he would?' Can you imagine if Bush after 9/11 had stood on the rubble with the bullhorn and said 'Well, Bin Laden said he didn't do it, I don't know why he would have.'"
Maher said he doesn't know "how we get out of this" except somehow removing Trump from office. "I wasn't necessarily for impeachment until recently but I think you have to go ahead and do it," he said. "I know it's pretty hard to convict, but if you don't do it with him, where is the bar? And what sort of damage is he going to do for the next two years he is there in this office? I think the question for everybody is, whose side are you on?"
Predicting what might come out of the Mueller investigation, Maher told Matthews, "Look, it's not that complicated. At some point he couldn't borrow money from anybody else, so he got it from the Russians. Cut to the hookers in the hotel room." He added, "I don't know if it was witting or unwitting, but when you're a narcissist like him, it doesn't really matter, he doesn't think that far ahead."
Later in the interview, Maher moved on to another Washington story that is likely to come up on his show this week. When Matthews brought up the resolution passed in Congress on Tuesday that officially condemned GOP Rep. Steve King's comments on white supremacy, Maher rolled his eyes and said, "I mean, look where the bar is, Chris, that we're cheering the Republicans because they say they don't believe in white supremacy. This is how far down we've gone. This is where they draw the line."
Finally, asked if he thinks any of the prospective 2020 Democratic candidates could be "truly great" presidents, Maher said, "Any presidency would be better."

Q: Can a collection agency collect a medical debt from 2006 in oregon?
Oregon? My Bank account was completely drained.
A: The question is not when the debt dates from but rather when they obtained a court Judgment against you for that debt. Judgments in Oregon are good for 10 years and may be renewed once for another 10 years from the renewal date. IF there is still a valid Judgment in Oregon, then the creditor is free to garnish or otherwise try to collect the debt in full up until the Judgment expires.

Last Saturday I went grocery shopping. I only filled my cart halfway and didn't buy any meat, but the total cost at check-out was roughly what I would have paid for a full cart several years ago. The cost of food continues to climb at the grocer, and costs are even higher when dining out. We are experiencing inflation at a level that we haven't seen in 40 years, and high prices are hurting everyone. However, these increases are most difficult for folks on low or fixed incomes.
There are many videos on YouTube with titles like, "Eat for a week on ten dollars." These videos are often an exercise in starvation and monotony. Usually, they consist of someone trying to stretch a pound of rice, a pound of beans, a bag of veggies, and a dozen eggs for 21 meals. Some people may have to resort to such extreme options, but most of these videos seem more stunt than substance.
In the mid-1980s, I was a medical resident and a divorced parent. Even when I became the chief resident of psychiatry, my take-home pay was low. Being chief resident of psychiatry gave me a lot of extra work, but only a $100 pretax bump in my monthly income.
Because my daughter often stayed with me, I needed my own apartment. In my case, it was of the basement variety. I also needed a working car. Finally, of course, I had child support payments. These three expenses pushed my small salary to its limit, and I had to learn how to stretch every penny. Sometimes I made the mistake of being too frugal with my grocery purchases and bought inedible items. At other times I blew most of my week's food allowance on a single restaurant meal. Eventually, I established a pattern of spending that struck a balance between economy and reality. I developed a system that worked for me.
During my many years of medical practice, Julie did most of the shopping and cooking for our family of five. I didn't worry about cost; if prices went up, I just worked harder. I have been retired for four years and on a fixed income for the last three. I have saved during my working years, and Julie continues to work. However, I know that I am at a phase where I am spending more money than we are earning. When Julie retires, we will only be spending. I still have three adult children at home (although two are at boarding college during some of the year). Feeding 3-5 adults is an expensive proposition.
After my retirement, I took over many household jobs, including grocery shopping and some of the meal preparations. I'm a good and confident cook, but cooking multiple meals a week can be a drag, so I use a simplified system that I'll describe later in this post.
My goal for today's post is to give you some practical tips that will save you money. There are additional ways to cut your food budget, but these tips work for me. That last point deserves highlighting. It is critical to find a system that works for you. For instance, I know that I could save even more money by clipping coupons. However, I hate clipping coupons and I always forget to bring them when I shop.
In our family of adults, individuals are responsible for making their breakfasts and lunches. Julie and I take turns making dinner. I'm accountable for dinner four nights a week, Julie makes dinner twice a week, and Saturday is either a carry-out or YOYO (you're on your own) meal.
Carry-out food can be expensive, so why do we do it? This post is about saving money, but not about spending the absolute minimum amount of money. Our family likes a carry-out meal once a week. Lastly, we do go out to restaurants. However, as the cost of restaurant meals has gone up, our restaurant dining has gone way down.
To Costco or not to Costco, that is the question.
My friend, Tom, can go to Costco for a broasted chicken and leave with a broasted chicken. I go to Costco for a broasted chicken and leave with a $400 bill. That is not the way to save money. Costco prices are often excellent, as is the quality of their foods. However, the company uses shopping psychology to get you to buy more. If you want to save money at Costco, follow a few simple tips.
- Decide what you need, and stick to buying only those items.
- Make sure that you will use up an item before it goes bad. A massive bag of flour is only a bargain if consumed before it goes rancid.
Like other Costco shoppers, I have bought frozen foods that no one would eat. So they sat in the freezer, taking up space until I threw them out due to freezer burn. I'm now more cautious about purchasing untested items.
The vacuum sealer.
Meat and cheese are expensive, but you can save considerably on them when you buy them in bulk. However, if you toss a giant package into the fridge or freezer, you will likely waste a significant portion of your purchase. I have used a vacuum sealer for years (mine is at least 20 years old). Vacuum sealers use unique bags that can be expensive, but I buy generic versions, which are significantly cheaper. It is possible to wash and reuse vacuum bags, but I'm too lazy to do that. The quart and gallon size bags work the best for my needs. When I get home, I divide up bulk packages into meal-size units and vacuum seal them. For instance, I'll split a 5-pound block of ground beef into 4 or 5 separate vacuum packs. I'll then place these packs in a plastic grocery bag and stick them in the freezer. It is easy to look in my chicken bag or hamburger bag and know if I need to buy more.
In the past, I had used Ziploc freezer bags for the same purpose. They work, but food stays fresher longer when vacuum sealed. However, Ziploc bags are an option if you can keep on top of your freezer's contents. I also know people who wash Ziploc bags in their dishwasher and reuse them, getting several uses out of a single bag.
The freestanding freezer
I bought a freezer about 25 years ago. It is a 14 cu ft upright model that needs to be manually defrosted. The freezer was inexpensive and has really served us well over the years. A frost-free freestanding freezer is not a good choice for long-term food storage as it has to heat up a bit when it auto defrosts. That process uses more energy and also shortens the storage life of frozen items. Freezers are energy efficient and use very little electricity. The chest-style ones are the most energy-efficient, but digging for things can be a pain.
I'm not suggesting that you go out and buy a freezer if you are struggling to buy food. However, you could consider slowly saving for one or checking give-away sites like freestyle. I do think that our freezer helps us save money; equally importantly, it is really convenient to have the extra freezer space. Having items on hand makes it easy to prepare meals. I have even froze milk that I purchased during a 2 for 1 sale. All I had to do was remove a little from the gallon so it wouldn't burst when frozen.
Use less meat, cheaper meat, or no meat.
When we do use meat, we use less of it. Steak has gotten so expensive that it is a rare treat. When we make it, we will split a steak to serve two people. We are eating more hamburgers, chicken, and pork. We are also reducing our serving portions of these meats, often by combining them with other foods in one-pot meals. Lastly, we are moving towards more meatless meals. In fact, one of my kids' favorite meals is my homemade mac and cheese, which I usually serve with cornbread and a vegetable. Eating less expensive food shouldn't feel like a punishment.
House brands.
In many cases, I buy house-brand items. Are they as good as brand names? Honestly, I have been buying them for so long that I can't say. However, I can say that in most instances, they are good enough. It may be cheaper to buy a brand-name item with a coupon, but I have never been able to get into clipping coupons. Items like flour, sugar and canned tomatoes are usually safe bets. In addition, many other items are of good quality. I'll go with a house brand first and only buy a brand name if the house brand doesn't cut it.
Brand names.
There are a few brand-name items that my family prefers. Bread, cheese sticks, and lunchmeat are some of them. I accept this and buy those items.
Dairy and eggs.
When it comes to items like milk, cheese, sour cream, and eggs, house brands are almost always cheaper, and I can't tell the difference between them and brand name. House brand white eggs are nutritionally the same as brown eggs or free-range eggs. You may think that cage-free chickens happily roam an open field pecking for grubs. That is not the case; cage-free is closer to caged. Don't buy advertising hype.
Bargains on meat.
I already mentioned that you can save by buying family-sized packages and splitting them up. In addition, stores will sometimes run buy-one-get-one-free sales on meat. Many stores will sell meat reaching its expiration date at significant savings. These markdowns are usually done at a particular time of day. Ask the person in your store's meat department for more details. Buy and immediately freeze for future use.
Where to shop.
I hate shopping at Walmart, but this is where I buy most of my groceries. They offer lower prices, and they are a full-service store. I prefer smaller Aldi stores, which offer slightly lower prices than Walmart. However, the closest Aldi is somewhat out of the way and is limited if I need to buy items like toothpaste, TP, or shampoo. I also like a small nearby store called Fresh Thyme. Fresh Thyme has excellent produce that is reasonably priced. Their grocery selection is complete but less expansive than most stores. That is a good thing as I'm less tempted to buy a lot of stuff that I don't need. Find the store that fits your needs.
Use a list.
One of the most beneficial things that you can do to save grocery money is to use a shopping list and (within reason) stick to it. In addition, you won't come home without the eggs or butter that you were supposed to buy. Any list system will do. I use the Notes app on my phone.
Buy staples.
Having essential ingredients allows you to make a myriad of foods from scratch. A cake mix makes a cake, but flour makes a thousand foods. Items like flour, eggs, sugar, and rice should always be available in your kitchen. There are some more prepared foods that are inexpensive and good to have around. Pasta, peanut butter, and condensed cream of mushroom soup (as a casserole base) come to mind.
Buy frozen.
Certain foods can be good values when you buy them frozen. Items that we like to buy include frozen vegetables, frozen fruit, and frozen french fries.
Use less disposable items.
Reusable items save money. My daughter uses a Rubbermaid container for her lunch sandwiches, and I use small towels to wipe up kitchen messes. However, we still use too many paper plates. Progress, not perfection!
Pack your own.
I recently bought coffee for myself and a friend; it cost over 6 dollars. I could have made the same amount of coffee at home for well under 50 cents. Using expensive K-cups is cheaper than buying coffee shop coffee, and using a standard coffee maker is much cheaper than using K-cups.
Buying lunch can cost around 10 dollars. Investing in reusable containers and a lunch bag can save you a fortune over time. My daughter packs a sandwich, yogurt, and fruit/or treats every day for lunch. My wife stockpiles cups of dehydrated soups and other lunch items in an office drawer. She keeps an electric kettle at her office for these soups and tea. When I was working, I would take the previous night's leftovers in a microwaveable container and heat them up at work.
Learn how to cook.
If you never learned how to cook, the prospect of doing so can be daunting. It is possible that you tried complicated recipes for an event or holiday and were left with frustration and a mess. There are an endless number of dishes that are both delicious and super easy to make. This is especially true if you have stock ingredients on hand. However, you have to accept that there may be a learning curve when you start. I guarantee that in short order, cooking will become easy.
I would suggest buying a classic cookbook like The Betty Crocker Cookbook or The Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook. Go with a hard-cover version. Caution is advised, I just checked Amazon, and someone was selling a ring-bound BH and G cookbook for almost $80! At most, pay around $25. I bought our Betty Crocker Cookbook new in 1991, and we still use it all of the time! Don't be afraid to buy a used copy for a few pennies at a thrift shop. These books use simple ingredients, have tried and true recipes, and obvious instructions. Once you are a confident cook, you can branch out to the internet and other recipe sources.
You need very few physical items to cook, and it is likely that you already have the basics. Are you just starting out and short on cash? Shop Goodwill or other resale stores. People get rid of cookware all of the time. All you need is a frying pan, a couple of pots, a pot lid, and a cookie sheet. Add a paring knife, a chef's knife, measuring cups and spoons, a can opener, and a pancake turner and you are all set. Naturally, certain styles of cooking require additional equipment, which you can slowly buy as needed. You may need tongs, a vegetable peeler, mixing bowls, and more. However, you can often adapt what you have until you buy those items. I have turned meat with a fork and used a pot as a mixing bowl in my poor past.
Clean as you go.
I can't stress this habit enough. As I cook, I clean up. When I use a measuring cup, I wash it as soon as possible, so it is ready to be reused or put away. If you clean as you go, you will have very little mess at the end of meal preparation, and you will want to cook again. There is nothing more disheartening than having to deal with a massive mess after you finish eating your dinner.
Use it up.
It is estimated that Americans waste 40% of their food. This means that if you used up all of the food that you purchased, your food bill could be 40% less! That is a considerable number. I already talked a bit about preserving food using a vacuum sealer and using up leftovers. Also, consider using what you have in the fridge creatively instead of cooking a meal based on what you have a taste for.
The other day I made chicken soup for the family. However, the day before, my wife made dinner that included a small broasted chicken. I used chicken pieces that I had already thawed, but I also threw into the pot the broasted chicken carcass. The end result was delicious.
Sometimes I'll make banana bread using overripe bananas that I would normally throw away. Banana bread is simple to make, and my family thinks of it as a special treat.
Sometimes I add wilted salad greens or leftover rice to a soup. At other times I'll use stale French bread to make delicious French toast. There are a multitude of ways to redefine leftovers or to use up food items that are still good but a bit past their prime.
One-pot meals.
I love one-pot meals. In fact, as I write this, I'm making one for dinner. This morning I drained some sauerkraut and added a little brown sugar, mustard, and a grated apple. I seasoned some pork chops and added everything to a slow cooker, which is now cooking on low. My wife made some excellent roasted cut-up sweet potatoes yesterday. I'll reheat them for today's side dish.
It took me less than 10 minutes to throw everything together this morning, and we will have a homemade dinner tonight.
One-pot meals can be made on the stove or in the oven. However, I like using small appliances, which I find to be more convenient.
There are an endless number of one-pot meals that use essential ingredients. Soups, stews, chili, casseroles, and much more. They are not only easy to make, but they are also economical. As a bonus, cleanup is a breeze.
Should you buy small appliances?
Only if you use them. I have an air fryer that I never use. I know some people love them, but their capacity is too small for my large family. However, I am always using my slow cooker and electric pressure cooker (An InstantPot knockoff). In addition, I often use a waffle maker-an item that many would never use. Figure out what foods you make, and determine if an appliance would be helpful. I don't want to be bound to the kitchen, so a gadget like a slow cooker makes my life easier. If you are on a budget, check out second-hand stores for appliances. You can always find items like toasters and slow cookers for pennies on the dollar.
It is not a sin to use prepared foods.
Weigh the cost vs. benefit of your purchase. I'll buy a frozen family-style meal, like lasagne or stuffed peppers on occasion. I find that the Walmart brand costs around six dollars and is tasty. For that price, three adults can eat dinner, and there are often leftovers for at least one lunch. I would never want an exclusive diet of these meals, but they are convenient when cooking motivation is low. I'll add a salad, along with some bread and dinner is served.
In addition, we frequently have a frozen pizza for Friday dinner. It is an easy tradition that isn't very expensive.
Bonus tip!
Make your own cleaning products.
Over the years, I have bought countless specialty cleaning products. Granite cleaner, stovetop cleaner, stainless steel cleaner, window cleaner, various toilet cleaners, mildew removers, you name it. All of these items are relatively expensive and come in single-use bottles.
I now use homemade cleaners. I also use powdered Comet (around a dollar a can) to clean my stainless steel sink. A little goes a long way, and it does a better job than dedicated products.
I use any liquid soap (shampoo, shower gel, hand soap) to clean my toilets. One pump is all that you need.
It is easy to make homestyle window cleaner (2 cups water, ¼ cup white vinegar, a few drops Dawn).
For Mildew removal, I fill about ⅓ rd (or less) of a spray bottle with bleach and then fill the rest of the bottle with water.
I use my homemade all-purpose cleaner for just about any surface. To make it, I add about 1 ounce of any all-purpose cleaner (Lysol, Fabuloso, PineSol, etc.), a few drops of Dawn dish detergent, to a 32 oz spray bottle, and fill the rest with warm water. I use this to clean everything from surfaces in my kitchen and bathrooms to the inside of the fridge and microwave, to the top of my glass cooktop, to my kitchen table.
You can reuse an empty Windex-type bottle (adjusting the amount of your ingredients). However, a high-quality spray bottle is an inexpensive purchase and will last longer.
Who cooks dinner when?
Monday Julie cooks
Tuesday I cook
Wednesday Julie cooks
Thursday I cook
Friday I cook (sort of)
Saturday Carry out or YOYO (you're on your own)
Sunday I cook
I'll leave Julie's meals to Julie and only talk about what I make. I cook the way that I do because this pattern makes the task more palatable. In addition, I always involve my kids in the cooking process. This makes my job a bit easier, and it teaches them beneficial skills.
Tuesday- a light meal day. I'll usually make something very simple for dinner. This could be breakfast for dinner (omelets with toast and sausage, waffles, and bacon), grilled hamburgers with frozen french fries, grilled cheese sandwiches, and tomato soup. You get the idea.
Thursday-a regular meal. This could be a one-pot meal, a meatloaf, homemade mac and cheese, and so on. Naturally, I'll balance the meal out with vegetables and other sides.
Friday-Pizza night. I make sure that we have a frozen pizza (Home Run Inn is our favorite), but it is my daughter's responsibility to pop it into the oven. Once done, I'll take over and cut it up. A pizza costs around six dollars and will feed three of us, and there will usually be a piece or two left over for a late-night snack. We started pizza night when everyone was working. By Friday, we just wanted an easy-to-make dinner. Friday pizza has now become a family tradition.
Sunday-A regular meal. Many options here. Pot roast made in the pressure cooker and real mashed potatoes. Spaghetti with meatballs, garlic bread and a salad, oven-fried chicken, red beans and rice, and so on.
I try to make things that we have in-house so that I'm not throwing out stuff. I'm far from perfect, but I know that I'm saving money.
I know that some of you will be dismissive of our food choices. Perhaps you will think that we need to cook organic or reduce gluten or use less fat. Adapt your meals to your preferences. We love waffles for dinner, but they may not be your jam. You do you.
Finding your balance is key to making this system work. You don't need to do everything that I do. However, You may want to do more. I still have financial resources, so my choices may be different from someone else's. Use these suggestions as a starting point, not as scripture. When I started along this journey, I just did a few things and then added more behaviors as time went on. Currently, I'm trying to use less disposable items (like paper towels and paper plates). Honestly, that has been difficult for me. As I said above, progress not perfection!
Good luck!

The Foreign Relations of the United States series presents the official documentary historical record of major foreign policy decisions and significant diplomatic activity of the United States Government. The Historian of the Department of State is charged with the responsibility for the preparation of the Foreign Relations series. The staff of the Office of the Historian, Bureau of Public Affairs, under the direction of the General Editor of the Foreign Relations series, plans, researches, compiles, and edits the volumes. Secretary of State Frank B. Kellogg first promulgated official regulations codifying specific standards for the selection and editing of documents for the series on March 26, 1925. These regulations, with minor modifications, guided the series through 1991.
Public Law 102–138, the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1992 and 1993 established a new statutory charter for the preparation of the series, which was signed by President George Bush on October 28, 1991. Section 198 of P.L. 102–138 added a new Title IV to the Department of State's Basic Authorities Act of 1956 (22 USC 4351, et seq.). The statute requires that the Foreign Relations series be a thorough, accurate, and reliable record of major United States foreign policy decisions and significant United States diplomatic activity. The volumes of the series should include all records needed to provide comprehensive documentation of major foreign policy decisions and actions of the United States Government. The statute also confirms the editing principles established by Secretary Kellogg: the Foreign Relations series is guided by the principles of historical objectivity and accuracy; records should not be altered or deletions made without indicating in the published text that a deletion has been made; the published record should omit no facts that were of major importance in reaching a decision; and nothing should be omitted for the purposes of concealing a defect in policy. The statute also requires that the Foreign Relations series be published not more than 30 years after the events recorded.
Structure and Scope of the Foreign Relations Series
This volume is part of a subseries of volumes of the Foreign Relations series that documents the most important issues in the foreign policy of the 5 years (1964–1968) of the administration of Lyndon B. Johnson. The subseries presents in 34 volumes a documentary record of major foreign policy decisions and actions of President Johnson's [Page IV] administration. This volume is in two parts. The first part documents the organization and management of U.S. foreign policy. The second part documents U.S. policy toward the United Nations.
Focus of Research and Principles of Selection for Foreign Relations, 1964–1968, Volume XXXIII
The editors of the volume sought to include documentation illuminating the foreign policymaking process of the U.S. Government, with emphasis on the highest level at which policy on a particular subject was determined. The documents include memoranda and records of discussions that set forth policy issues and show decisions or actions taken. The emphasis is on the development of U.S. policy and on major aspects and repercussions of its execution rather than on the details of policy execution.
Lyndon Johnson made the major foreign policy decisions during his Presidency, and the editors sought to document his role as far as possible. Although the foreign policy record of the Johnson administration is voluminous, many internal discussions between Johnson and his advisers were not recorded. The record of Johnson's involvement as well as that of Secretary of State Rusk in the policy process often had to be pieced together from a variety of sources.
The volume focuses on the issues that primarily engaged high-level U.S. policymakers. The portion of the volume concerning the Organization and Management of Foreign Policy focuses on several important issues: efforts to improve the management of the Department of State and strengthen its overall direction and coordination of U.S. foreign policy; the increasingly informal operation of the National Security Council and the enhanced role of the National Security Adviser and his staff; problems confronted by the Director of Central Intelligence in coordinating the intelligence community, exercising influence over the National Reconnaissance Office, and advising the President; and the reexamination of the approval process for covert actions. The portion of the volume covering the United Nations focuses principally on the Article 19 dispute over financing United Nations peacekeeping efforts and on the creation of a United Nations peacekeeping force for Cyprus. Other topics include the reelection of U Thant as UN Secretary General in 1966, developmental and trusteeship issues, the Celestial Bodies Treaty of 1967, and the appointment of U.S. Permanent Representatives by President Johnson. Several major issues considered by the United Nations during the Johnson Presidency are documented in other Foreign Relations volumes: the Vietnam war, volumes I–VII; Arms Control and Disarmament, volume XI; the Arab-Israeli Crisis and 1967 War, volume XIX; South Asia, volume XXV; and China, volume XXX.
[Page V]Editorial Methodology
The documents are presented chronologically according to Washington time or, in the case of conferences, in the order of individual meetings. Memoranda of conversation are placed according to the time and date of the conversation, rather than the date the memorandum was drafted.
Editorial treatment of the documents published in the Foreign Relations series follows Office style guidelines, supplemented by guidance from the General Editor and the chief technical editor. The source text is reproduced as exactly as possible, including marginalia or other notations, which are described in the footnotes. Texts are transcribed and printed according to accepted conventions for the publication of historical documents in the limitations of modern typography. A heading has been supplied by the editors for each document included in the volume. Spelling, capitalization, and punctuation are retained as found in the source text, except that obvious typographical errors are silently corrected. Other mistakes and omissions in the source text are corrected by bracketed insertions: a correction is set in italic type; an addition in roman type. Words or phrases underlined in the source text are printed in italics. Abbreviations and contractions are preserved as found in the source text, and a list of abbreviations is included in the front matter of each volume.
Bracketed insertions are also used to indicate omitted text that deals with an unrelated subject (in roman type) or that remains classified after declassification review (in italic type). The amount of material not declassified has been noted by indicating the number of lines or pages of source text that were omitted. Entire documents withheld for declassification purposes have been accounted for and are listed by headings, source notes, and number of pages not declassified in their chronological place. All brackets that appear in the source text are so identified by footnotes.
The first footnote to each document indicates its source, original classification, distribution, and drafting information. This note also provides the background of important documents and policies and indicates whether the President or his major policy advisers read the document.
Editorial notes and additional annotation summarize pertinent material not printed in the volume, indicate the location of additional documentary sources, provide references to important related documents printed in other volumes, describe key events, and provide summaries of and citations to public statements that supplement and elucidate the printed documents. Information derived from memoirs and other first-hand accounts has been used when appropriate to supplement or explicate the official record.
[Page VI]The numbers in the index refer to document numbers rather than to page numbers.
Advisory Committee on Historical Diplomatic Documentation
The Advisory Committee on Historical Diplomatic Documentation, established under the Foreign Relations statute, reviews records, advises, and makes recommendations concerning the Foreign Relations series. The Advisory Committee monitors the overall compilation and editorial process of the series and advises on all aspects of the preparation and declassification of the series. The Advisory Committee does not attempt to review the contents of individual volumes in the series, but it makes recommendations on problems that come to its attention.
Declassification Review
The Information Response Branch of the Office of Information Resources Management Programs and Services, Bureau of Administration, Department of State, conducted the declassification review of the documents published in this volume. The review was conducted in accordance with the standards set forth in Executive Order 12958 on Classified National Security Information and applicable laws.
The principle guiding declassification review is to release all information, subject only to the current requirements of national security as embodied in law and regulation. Declassification decisions entailed concurrence of the appropriate geographic and functional bureaus in the Department of State, other concerned agencies of the U.S. Government, and the appropriate foreign governments regarding specific documents of those governments.
The final declassification review of this volume, which began in 1998 and was completed in 2002, resulted in the decision to withhold 12 documents in full, excise a paragraph or more in 9 documents, and make minor excisions of less than a paragraph in 33 documents.
The chapter entitled "The Director of Central Intelligence, the Intelligence Community, and the President" contains the most deletions and excisions partly due to the need to protect intelligence sources and methods when disclosure will clearly and demonstrably damage the national interests of the United States.
The editors wish to acknowledge the expert archival assistance of officials at the Lyndon B. Johnson Library of the National Archives and Records Administration, especially Christina Lawson, Regina Green-well, Charlaine Burgess, John Wilson, and two former staff members, David Wallace and John Powers. The editors also wish to acknowledge [Page VII] the assistance of historians Woodrow Kuhn and Michael Warner at the Central Intelligence Agency as well as of Suzanne Forbes, formerly at the John F. Kennedy Library of the National Archives and Records Administration. In addition, David Langbart of the National Archives and Records Administration provided very helpful guidance in identifying files on Department of State management, while former Foreign Service officer Robert Pace reviewed documentation on the management of foreign policy in the Department of State and provided valuable comments and suggestions.
David C. Humphrey collected, selected, edited the documentation on the organization and management of U.S. foreign policy and prepared the lists of names, sources, and abbreviations. James E. Miller collected, selected, and edited the documentation on the United Nations. General Editor Edward C. Keefer supervised the final steps in the editing and publication process. Vicki E. Futscher and Rita M. Baker did the copy and technical editing. Susan Weetman coordinated the declassification review. Breffni Whelan prepared the index.

Welcome to Tuesday's LIVE Nottingham Forest blog.
The end of the international break is in sight, with the Reds back in action when they make the trip to Barnsley on Saturday.
And in the meantime, we will keep you up to date with all the very latest Forest news, gossip and developments from the City Ground.
Chris Hughton's side will be aiming to pick up where they left off against the Tykes, having recorded back-to-back wins before being able to spend valuable time on the training ground.
The manager does have a few injury concerns, though, with Harry Arter adding his name to the list as he made an early return to the club from being on duty with the Republic of Ireland.
We'll bring you all the latest updates, so stick with us throughout the day to make sure you don't miss anything.
Reidy lifts lid on Tottenham transfer
Former Nottingham Forest favourite Andy Reid has lifted the lid on his less than smooth move to Tottenham Hotspur.
The one-time Reds winger, now on the City Ground coaching staff, handed in a transfer request with teammate Michael Dawson in August 2004 ahead of their double £8m deal to White Hart Lane in the January 2005 transfer window.
Speaking to The Last Word On Spurs podcast, the 38-year-old has revealed the hilarious way he cajoled a "wet behind the ears" Dawson into going to see Forest's CEO to tell him they wanted to leave, and how the pair swerved training on transfer deadline day, got lost in a field before turning up at Tottenham for their medicals covered in mud.
Five subs in a game rule change coming
Nottingham Forest and fellow Championship teams will be allowed to use up to five substitutes later this month, according to a report in the Telegraph.
Following the coronavirus pandemic stopping football across the UK in March, the season didn't return until mid-June, and with fitness concerns, as well as an even more congested fixture schedule, clubs were permitted to use five subs in each match, as opposed to the usual three.
It was announced that the rule change would be scrapped before the 2020/21 season began, but now, according to the report, the Championship is set to reintroduce the increased amount of substitutions regulation.
Barnsley enjoying new boss bounce as prepare to take on Forest
Chris Hughton will be looking to extend his honeymoon period at the helm of Nottingham Forest when they get back to action after the international break at Barnsley this weekend.
The 61-year-old manager has overseen three wins and three draws, losing just one game in his first seven matches to steady the ship since taking charge at the City Ground.
But the Reds' South Yorkshire opponents are also enjoying the benefits of a new boss bounce, with newly installed head coach Valerien Ismael having guided the Tykes to three wins in his first four matches – impressive home wins against QPR and Watford and three points at Pride Park to put the final nail in Phillip Cocu's Derby County coffin.
And Barnsley striker Conor Chaplin is in a confident mood, insisting the club have turned a corner this season, not thinking about the six-point gap between themselves and the bottom three, saying they have always expected to spend this season well away from the relegation scrap.
Stan Collymore wades into Wayne Rooney and Derby County debate
Former Nottingham Forest striker Stan Collymore has offered his verdict on the current managerial vacancy at Derby County.
Phillip Cocu left the Rams on Saturday by mutual agreement with the club bottom of the Championship table after 11 League games with only one win to show for their efforts this season.
Player-coach Wayne Rooney has been put in interim charge with first-team coaches Justin Walker and Liam Rosenior assisting him alongside goalkeeper coach Shay Given.
The Rams are back in action for the trip to Bristol City on Saturday and Rooney, Rosenior, Walker and Given could be in charge for a while with a new manager set to be appointed once a takeover by Abu Dhabi royal Sheikh Khaled bin Zayed Al Nehayan is completed.
Read what Collymore has said HERE
Good morning
Hello folks.
Hope everyone is doing well - we'll keep you up to date with all the latest goings-on ahead of Saturday's trip to Barnsley.

Reports of the Intercultural Research Project "German Music Culture in Eastern Europe"
This publication differs from previous (and subsequent) issued volumes of project reports because of one special feature. In this volume, an attempt is made to subject the overarching thematic area covered by the research activities in Bonn to critical self-reflection: the genesis and the typological and historic modifications of the field as well as the associated political, social and cultural requirements and interests are now the focus of examination themselves. The historic arch spanned by the total of 24 articles extends from the concepts of 'German' music that have been developed since the 19th century through the updates and transformations following the end of World War II caused by the flight and expulsion of the Germans from their former settlement areas all the way to consideration of the potential future scope of the discourse on "German Music Culture in Eastern Europe". – In addition to a German abstract, each of the essays is accompanied by an English abstract. |

It really meant a lot for us when we received the invitation from the Department of Nephrology, Jaipur Golden Hospital to be a part of the celebration at Radisson Blue for having completed a Decade of Experience in Renal Transplantation. I would like to thank the whole team for organising the same and for the cordial gesture given to all the guests.
Starting from the beginning, on 21st December, 2002, it was very difficult for me to accept that my husband is suffering from End Stage Renal Disease and is at life risk.
It was only you who encouraged me and all my extended family to opt for Renal Transplant which indeed was a crucial decision to make, both financially and emotionally. I may fall short of words if I wish to Thank you for listening to all our not-so-wise questions so patiently and answering them.
Being a patient my husband is associated with Jaipur Golden Hospital for the last Twelve years and this journey has been like a Roller Coaster Ride for all of us.
Although I cannot express my feelings in words even then I and my family want to Thank you a lot for all the support, kind words and for holding our hands during all the surgeries either major or minor. You were always there countless number of times regardless what time of the night it was and I don't think any words can express the gratitude we have for you.
Everyone says life doesn't offers second chances but my husband's doctors from Jaipur Golden Hospital have proven it wrong. We all remember 10th January, 2003. It was the day my husband was scheduled for the Renal Surgery and because of the complexity of the procedure we were all worried if it was the beginning of the end.
But when they came out of that room telling us that everything went well it was you that convinced us that is a new beginning. That's why Jaipur Golden Hospital is not only a Hospital for us rather it is a place of worship for me and my family.
Once again I would like to thank the whole team of Doctors who have helped us get through this difficult time; Dr. Umesh Nautiyal, Dr. R.K. Saxena, Dr. Subodh Gupta,
Dr. Rajesh Sharma and Dr. Panna Jain.
With regards: Mrs. & Mr. Tajinder Pal Singh.

Reading I Ex 22:20-26 |
Responsorial Psalm Ps 18:2-3, 3-4, 47, 51 |
Reading II 1 Thes 1:5c-10 |
Gospel Mt 22:34-40 |
As usual, I set forth on a long journey to a parish not particularly close to where I live. I drove about an hour and a half before I stopped and took out a printed schedule and a local Hagstrom map to determine my options. I picked a nearby parish but the road took me far away from it, so I pulled over again and selected another parish. This one is in a mountainous, heavily wooded, beautiful region with lakes-- the kind of place where an urban dweller might elect to have a summer cottage. I exited the main highway and followed a couple of winding roads to an intersection where a small green sign with the name of the parish awaited me. I turned and drove a short distance further before actually seeing the church in the middle of the woods. It seems to have grown over the years; on one side of the street is a small stone structure labeled "chapel;" this is probably the original church. On the opposite side of the street I found a large school with an auditorium that may have been the primary location for Masses for some time. To the left of that is a brand-new church and an older cemetery further left. The new church is, well, new.
I couldn't find a cornerstone, but the concrete around the new church looked fresh. The structure is mostly square on the outside, but a wall slices one corner off for a narthex. The entrance closest to the parking lots opens to a long corridor. I located a large, immaculate rest room here and thanked God that "new" has its value as I took advantage of the opportunity. Further along the corridor is the large narthex, which has doors opening out to a driveway where gentleman can discharge their families before parking their cars. Once inside the nave, we see a typical "new" arrangement, with the light-grained, circular wooden pews arranged around the sanctuary in the opposite corner. A cry room is in one corner, while an accordion-type partition closes off an overflow room that may have other purposes. A traditional crucifix is suspended over a large, white, freestanding marble altar. A matching ambo with a wooden top is to the right, and the tabernacle is slightly to the right of center of the altar on the rear wall. An ADA-type ramp leads to the sanctuary. A piano and organ are located at the left of the sanctuary. The ceiling forms a pyramid over the building and is supported by curved wooden arches. Racks in the pews hold copies of the Gather Comprehensive hymnal (without readings).
Before Mass, the organist/pianist rehearsed the closing hymn with us; it was on printed flyers that I did not see anywhere. Then the proceedings began in the back as an infant to be baptized was brought into the church and anointed by the priest. There was no opening hymn or penitential rite and we went straight into the Gloria (organ) as two servers, two readers, and the priest passed through the center aisle. I believe the Gloria may have been the Community Mass setting but I'm not sure, as it is one I don't have stashed on my hard drive to verify, and I can't find it anywhere on Internet.
One reader went to the ambo and gave the first reading. The cantor led a psalm-sounding hymn (piano) from the ambo; it was notable for a cutesy high note on the word "cup" followed by a long pause. Then the other reader gave the second reading. We sang a folksy-sounding Alleluia (piano) as the priest went to the ambo to proclaim the Gospel. His homily was straightforward; it noted that the scribes and Pharisees have been trying to trick Jesus for several Sundays now, and finally He gives the two-commandment summary of the law and prophets. He then said that the two great commandments form the basis of Catholic social justice teaching and that we should look in the bulletin, which lists about eight different social justice ministries in which we could take an interest.
The priest took the infant and his entourage to the rear of the church for the baptism, which proceeded without incident; the parents and godparents responded reasonably loudly to the renewal of baptismal promises. The sung Alleluia was repeated afterward and then the infant received a round of applause. The priest returned to his chair and one of the readers led the recitation of the Prayer of the Faithful from the ambo. At the end of this, we recited one of those prayers (e. g. the Renew 2000 prayer, the Stewardship prayer, and so on) that were all the rage at the turn of the century but have faded into oblivion. This one was for the success of the parish mission in two weeks. Two collections were taken in succession by having those in the congregation pass the wicker baskets around the pews as we sang to piano accompaniment "Lord, When You Came." The chalices and ciborium were of metal. I wasn't paying particular attention, but I believe that the four smaller chalices were filled immediately during the preparation. The congregation stood as soon as the priest began the Orate Fratres invitation.
The priest used a preface for children's Masses. We sang the Sanctus (organ) to the St. Louis Jesuits' setting. The congregation knelt for the consecration. The priest offered a Eucharistic Prayer for Masses with Children even though the majority in the congregation were adults. We sang the third Memorial Acclamation and the Great Amen to the St. Louis Jesuits' setting (organ). At the Lord's Prayer, the priest asked us to join hands, but I had a pew to myself and was spared. We sang the Agnus Dei to a setting I can't recall.
A second priest and four extraordinary ministers entered the sanctuary to assist the priest in distributing Holy Communion; the second priest asked for two more ministers, but since only one stepped forward, the cantor was pressed into service. The stations were located in the center aisle and along the walls. The Communion hymn, played on the piano, was "We Are Many Parts."
After Communion, the priest offered the closing prayer while he and the congregation remained seated. He then stood and read several announcements from the bulletin, which he had in his hand. He then blessed the parents of the infant and then the congregation and elicited a second round of applause for the infant and remarked that a hundred supporters was a good number. The closing hymn was "Over My Head, I Hear Music in the Air." Most of the congregation remained until the priest left the front of the center aisle at the beginning of the last verse, but after that almost everyone left. I returned home by a different route.

In Hayfield, Minnesota, Mass is offered at Sacred Heart Church on Second Street. In Hayfield, across the nation, and around the world, you are rarely far from a Catholic Mass.

Cytochromes P450 (CYPs) catalyze various oxidative transformations in drug metabolism, xenobiotic degradation and natural product biosynthesis. Here we report biochemical, structural and theoretical studies of TxtC, an unusual bifunctional CYP involved in the biosynthesis of the EPA-approved herbicide thaxtomin A. TxtC was shown to hydroxylate two remote sites within the Phe residue of its diketopiperazine substrate thaxtomin D. The reactions follow a preferred order, with hydroxylation of the -carbon preceding functionalization of the phenyl group. To illuminate the molecular basis for remote site functionalization, X-ray crystal structures of TxtC in complex with the substrate and monohydroxylated intermediate were determined. Electron density cor-responding to a diatomic molecule (probably dioxygen) was sandwiched between the heme iron atom and Thr237 in the TxtC-inter-mediate structure, providing insight into the mechanism for conversion of the ferrous-dioxygen complex into the reactive ferryl intermediate. The substrate and monohydroxylated intermediate adopted similar conformations in the active site, with the -face of the phenyl group positioned over the heme iron atom. Docking simulations reproduced this observation and identified a second, energetically similar but conformationally-distinct binding mode in which the -hydrogen of the Phe residue is positioned over the heme prosthetic group. Molecular dynamics simulations confirmed that the -hydrogen is sufficiently close to the ferryl oxygen atom to be extracted by it and indicated that the two substrate conformations cannot readily interconvert in the active site. These results indicate that TxtC is able to hydroxylate two spatially remote sites by binding distinct conformations of the substrate and monohy-droxylated intermediate.

In the latest report from Rev. Cornelius in India, he states that 19 former idol worshipers who accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior were baptized on February 16, 2020. Below is his report and photos.
Greetings to you.
Here are the pictures of water baptism again this morning. I went near the sea with one of our pastors and three villagers who are ready to take water baptism. Today I baptized 19 new converts. They were all very strong idol worshipers and they lived very sinful life in the world. But the word of God and Jesus Christ touched their hearts and they gave their life to Christ. What a miracle to see these souls are ready to walk with Jesus! Now they are new creation in Christ. Kindly pray for our new converts.
We are desperately need of Bibles! We are seeking the Lord's help to provide us with Bibles

Synarel is a hormone medication used both in assisted reproduction and to relieve the symptoms of endometriosis.
Specifically, Synarel is used during the controlled ovarian stimulation phase in artificial insemination (AI) and in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments.
The main advantage of Synarel over other hormonal drugs is that it is a nasal inhaler, i.e. it is not administered as an injection.
Provided below is an index with the 10 points we are going to expand on in this article.

Composition and Mechanism of action
The active ingredient of Synarel is Nafarelin, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist. The remaining excipients are sorbitol, glacial acetic acid, purified water and benzalkonium chloride.
GnRH is a hormone naturally produced by the hypothalamus (brain gland) that stimulates the pituitary gland to produce FSH and LH, hormones that control a woman's ovarian cycle.
The function of Synarel is to act on the pituitary gland by decreasing the normal response to GnRH, so that the endogenous production of FSH and LH is inhibited and, therefore, the ovaries are kept at rest, without estrogen production or follicular development.
In assisted reproduction, this slowing down of the pituitary gland and the ovaries is necessary in order to start ovarian stimulation in a synchronised manner, so that all the follicles develop at the same time and several oocytes are obtained for fertilization.
Package and price of Synarel
Synarel is the only drug used in the process of ovarian stimulation that is administered by nasal solution, making it the ideal choice for women who are afraid of needles or have problems giving themselves an injection.
Synarel comes in a single bottle containing 8 ml of the drug for nasal spraying in 200 microgram doses.
In terms of price, Synarel costs $2,971.80 for a supply of 8 milliliters. In order to purchase Synarel, a doctor's prescription is necessary.
As we have already mentioned, there are two main indications for the use of Synarel:
- Controlled ovarian stimulation to seek pregnancy through AI or IVF.
- Treatment of endometriosis and its associated symptoms
In the latter case of patients suffering from endometriosis, Synarel is able to relieve the symptoms of painful menstruation, painful intercourse and general pelvic pain, as well as reduce significant blood loss during the period.
How is Synarel used?
Before starting to use Synarel, it is important to pay attention to the instructions given by the specialist, especially with regard to the days of administration and dosage.
In the ovarian stimulation process, Synarel is used in the so-called long protocolsbecause it must be administered for several days.
Specifically, its administration starts around day 20 of the previous cycle. Once menstruation has set in, the woman should continue with Synarel inhalations at the same time as she starts the stimulation shots.
Recommended dosage
As for the dosage of Synarel, we will now give some general recommendations that can serve most patients:
- The recommended daily dose for assisted reproduction treatments is 4 sprays per day (800 micrograms). This involves spraying both nostrils in the morning and one at night.
- This dose can be adjusted by the doctor according to the ovarian response, so it is important to perform all medical checks.
- The recommended daily dose for assisted reproduction treatments is 2 sprays per day (400 micrograms). One administration should be done in the morning, in one nostril, and the second administration in the evening, in the other nostril.
- If the patient sneezes, during or after the administration of Synarel, it is advisable to repeat the spraying, as it may affect the absorption of the drug.
- If you miss a dose of Synarel, it is recommended that you administer it as soon as possible. The following sprays should be administered in the usual way and not be compensated if you have forgotten to take a dosis.
As we have said, the doctor can adjust these guidelines according to the patient and the specific treatment.
How to spray
In order to be able to administer Synarel, the sprayer pump must be charged before the first administration. The instructions for this are listed below:
- Remove the cap and safety lock.
- Place 2 fingers on the valve lugs and your thumb on the base of the bottle.
- Pulling the end of the sprayer away, press firmly until a light spray appears.
It should be noted that the first spraying usually occurs after pressing about 5-7 times. Once the medication is prepared, the steps for each application of Synarel are as follows:
- Use a tissue to gently wipe both nostrils.
- Tilt your head slightly forward, insert the sprayer into one nostril and cover the other nostril with your finger.
- Press the sprayer and breathe in at the same time.
- Remove the spray from the nose and tilt the head back so that the liquid flows to the back.
- Repeat the same operation with the other nostril.
After each use, it is necessary to clean the spray nozzle with warm water while rubbing it with a clean cloth. This can be done by placing the bottle horizontally under the tap.
There are some situations where the use of Synarel is not indicated:
- Allergy to nafarelin, natural GnRH or any of the other components of Synarel
- Women with vaginal bleeding of unknown cause
- Suspected pregnancy
- Breastfeeding women
- When Synarel has been used for more than 6 months
On the other hand, in women with a history of ovarian cysts, it is necessary to inform the doctor in order to assess whether or not to administer Synarel, since there may be an increase in the size and number of cysts.
Side effects of Synarel
Like all medications, the administration of Synarel can have side effects that are classified according as to how often they occur.
Very frequent adverse effects
The most frequent symptoms of Synarel are those that appear in 1 out of 10 patients and are as follows:
- Weight gain.
- Mood swings
- Decreased libido
- Headache
- Hot flushes
- Rhinitis
- Acne and seborrhea (excess oil on the skin)
- Muscle aches
- Decreased breast size
- Vaginal dryness
- Edema: swelling
Frequent adverse effects
Other symptoms of Synarel that also appear in numerous cases, although less frequently than the previous ones (in 1 out of every 100 patients), are the following:
- Hypersensitivity to the drug: shortness of breath, chest pain, hives and itching
- Estrogen deficiency and the beginning of artificial (surgical) menopause
- Weight loss.
- Depression and insomnia
- Increased libido
- Tingling sensation
- Hypertension and hypotension
- Irritation of the nasal mucosa
- Hirsutism
- Joint pain
- Uterine bleeding
- Decreased bone density
In the latter case, bone density recovers during the 6 months following the interruption of treatment, but it should be noted that if there is a family history of osteoporosis, the risk of suffering bone mineral loss is greater.
Less frequent and rare adverse effects
The rare symptoms of Synarel are those that appear in at least 1 in 1,000 patients, and in this case only alopecia, breast enlargement and ovarian cysts have been described.
For the rarest symptoms, which only appear in 1 in 10,000 patients, elevation of liver enzymes (GOT/GPT and serum alkaline phosphatase) is specified. Other side effects are also possible and their frequency is unknown. These include migraine, blurred vision, palpitations and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.

FAQs from users
How long should Synarel be taken?
The duration of treatment should always be indicated by the doctor. In general, if used for ovarian stimulation prior to assisted reproduction treatment, the treatment period does not usually exceed 8 weeks. If it is used for the treatment of endometriosis the maximum recommended duration of treatment is 6 months.
Can I drink alcohol while taking Synarel?
Both alcohol and tobacco are contraindicated during the use of Synarel, as they can interfere with the effectiveness of the treatment.
Can Synarel interact with other drugs like Ibuprofen?
It is important to inform the doctor of any medications that the patient is taking or has recently taken prior to the use of Synarel to ensure that they are properly absorbed.
There does not appear to be an interaction between Synarel and anti-inflammatory drugs such as Ibuprofen. However, nasal decongestants decrease the absorption of Synarel, so they should not be used within 30 minutes of administration.
Can Synarel (Nafarelin acetate) be used to treat endometriosis?
Yes, it is a common hormonal treatment prescribed to relieve the symptoms of endometriosis. It is a nasal spray which main active ingredient is Nafarelin acetate, a GnRH agonist.
Can Synarel be used with Gonal, Ovitrelle or Menopur?
Yes, it is common for a doctor to prescribe a combination of drugs to stimulate the ovary before IVF. Synarel allows the production of FSH and LH to be increased by acting directly on the release of GnRH. On the other hand, the use of Gonal involves the administration of FSH, while Menopur contains FSH and LH. With these three drugs, separately or in combination, the growth of the ovarian follicles can be stimulated. Finally, with Ovitrelle, which is hCG, the final maturation of the follicles and ovulation can be triggered.
It is important to note that the doctor adapts the stimulation protocol to each patient, so there will be differences in medication between women and others.
Can I treat endometriosis with Synarel when I am pregnant?
No. Synarel can only be used if it is certain that there is no pregnancy. This medication should not be used if a positive pregnancy test or suspicion of pregnancy exists. Your doctor will prescribe a drug that is compatible with pregnancy or will postpone treatment. Synarel is not compatible with breastfeeding, either.
Is Synarel the same as Decapeptyl?
No. Although both drugs can be used during ovarian stimulation, Synarel and Decapeptyl contain different active ingredients.
On the one hand, Synarel is composed of nafarelin, while Decapepyl contains triptorelin. Even so, both components are GnRH agonists, so they have the same function: to block the pituitary gland to keep the ovaries at rest.

4 easy ways to improve your indoor cycling power
Interested in putting a little more power into your indoor cycling workouts?
If so, you've probably heard many recipes and hundreds of tips, many of which you must have tried. But are they really effective?
I have also had to try a few and I have realized which ones really work. Therefore, in this article I have decided to share them with you so that you do not continue wasting time on tests.
How about? Do you want to hear them? Let's get started then.
About potency
We already know that power is an objective measure that is expressed with the following formula:
Power = Stamina x Cadence
It is simple to realize that it depends on:
- La force (torque) exerted on the pedal.
- La speed (cadence) with which we rotate it.
La we measure in watts and it is a way to quantify external load, unlike internal load we measure in VO2 or heart rate. We can say then that both variables are complementary to measure performance.
The power, Unlike the heart rate, it is not so influenced by external aspects such as dehydration, sleep quality, temperature or diet, but rather It depends on the physical condition of the user.
So let's move on to my favorite and effective ways to improve power by working on your fitness.
4 simple ways to improve your potency
If you've followed me here, it's about time we got down to business. Here are my four secrets:
1. Bet on active recovery.
Recovery between intervals of intense work is a strategic part of your training, especially when it comes to power.
It happens that a passive recovery, that is, one in which you rest between intervals, seems less effective when it comes to increasing power and A research projects. has shown it.
Fifteen cyclists participated in three speed interval training sessions three to seven days apart over a month. In each session they did six 30-second sprints.
Each sprint was followed by four minutes of passive (resting still) or active (pedaling at 1,1 W / kg) recovery. The same recovery was used in each session and the type of recovery was randomly assigned to each of them.
The results indicate: "Active recovery resulted in 0,6 W / kg lower peak power output in the second sprint and 0.4 W / kg higher output in the fifth and sixth sprints".
Therefore, active recovery better maintains average power output compared to passive recovery when running multiple sprints sequentially.
2. Train at lower resistance with higher cadences.
Many cyclists especially when training on the road use the well-known recipe of train on climbs and the truth is that it works, but it is not the only alternative.
When we pedal on spinning bikes, the climbs are replaced with resistance or load, right? You put in adequate resistance and start pedaling harder, just like you would on a steep road.
Well, it happens as you already know, that in the formula of power the more resistance, lower cadence and therefore higher power in general. Then, I propose to train your power in a different and very effective way.
Work with power ranges.
For example, on your indoor bike or even on rollers if you use your traditional bike, perform series of between four and eight intervals of between three and five minutes each, with a cadence of 110-120 rpm at maximum power.
Tip: if you want to improve your power, worry about working with intense intervals.
Una slow cadence, about 70-90 rpm it may not be enough to work all the necessary fibers. You see, not everything is practicing on climbs or with a high load, you also bet on combining high cadence exercises.
3. Work all the fibers of your leg.
For effective pedaling in terms of power, it is important to work all the fibers of the leg, since more efficient coordination will lead to higher mechanical efficiency and with it higher power (study).
For that, it is important to alternate between different cadenceYes, as we have already seen, but it can also be very helpful to strengthen your legs in the gym when you are not pedaling.
One exercise that has been great for me is the Bulgarian squat. It helps to gain a lot of force and then transfer it to the pedal.
Another good alternative is the front squat that you can do with your own weight, with a bar on your shoulders or dumbbells. Dumbbells are best for me.
If you want to add exercise outside of pedaling but do not get along with the gym, try doing front jumps with one leg at home and increasing the load with dumbbells to progress.
4. Discard very low cadences
Another point why the famous recipe that is used on the road to work uphill to gain power I do not like at all is because many times by adding resistance the cadence is lowered too much.
We are aware that high cadences are effective for neuromuscular work and low cadences are effective for strengthening fibers.
We have many different muscles in the legs that I will not detail here, but some are very strong and some are not so strong. Some of the strongest fatigue very quickly and some of the less strong resist fatigue better.
If you work with a lot of resistance and at a very low cadence, you will be working very strong fibers that tire faster. This fatigue will cause your power to decrease.
Therefore, verify that when you work at resistance, you do not go below 60 rpm.
You remember the phrase of the grandmother "skill is better than strength" because today it has been demonstrated. If you are looking to boost your power in indoor cycling, what will work the most for you is work smartly on your training.
This intelligence must be linked to adding strength and coordination to your entire leg, for which you will need more varied and focused workouts.

Charleston Southern utilized four Jack Chambers touchdown passes, three to Kameron Brown, and a solid defensive effort held off a late Campbell second-half rally as the Buccaneers topped the Camels on Senior Day at Buccaneer Field, 41-31.
CSU (6-6, 4-2 Big South) raced out to the quick 14-0 lead in the first quarter thanks to a pair of Chambers touchdown passes to Demetrius Jones and Brown. Campbell (6-6, 3-3 Big South) rallied back with a trio of scores in the third quarter with Williamsfinding the end zone twice on the ground to cut the Bucs' lead down to 34-31.
Chambers went back to Brown in the fourth quarter with a fade into the back of the end zone for the four-yard score to put CSU ahead 41-31 with 9:18 to play. Dennis Fisher secured the CSU win with a late interception on Campbell's final drive to closeout the Bucs win.
Chambers paced the Bucs after going 17-of-29 through the air for 217 yards and four touchdown passes. Brown finished with three catches for 32 yards and a trio of touchdown receptions, while Garris Schwarting hauled in five catches for 124 yards. KendrickBell added his second consecutive 100-yard rushing effort with 123 carries on 22 yards.
Hajj Malik-Williams' efforts led Campbell on the day as the freshman quarterback finished with 144 passing yards and a touchdown, while adding 74 rushing yards and two more scores on the ground. Jalen Kelsey hauled in a team-high five catches for 75 yards.
Nick Salley paced CSU's defensive efforts with eight tackles and 2.5 tackles for loss. Shaundre Mims added his Big South-leading 10th sack, while Anton Williams added a sack and tackle for loss.
Campbell's Justice Galloway-Velasquez lead all players with 15 tackles, while Darion Slade added 12 tackles in the loss.
