The Castle of Miramare stands on the tip of the promontory of Grignano. Its position overlooking the sea, provides the possibility to enjoy a wonderful view over the Gulf of Trieste. The Castle is surrounded by a beautiful park with valuable botanical species where one can relax.A noble residence commissioned by Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian of Habsburg, its interiors feature sumptuous original furniture.
Characterised by the "white towers" described by Carducci, rather than a castle it is an example of a nineteenth-century prince residence, the result of the eclectic architectural style of that period.Built between 1856 and 1860 by Archduke Maximilian of Austria, later Emperor of Mexico, the building is strongly influenced by a Romantic taste, as a revisited construction of a medieval fortress.The archduke personally oversaw both the planning of the building and the layout of the large park (over 22 hectares), an English-style and Italian-style garden, rich in rare plants, sculptures and ponds, which goes down towards the sea with wide steps.The castle is made up of over 20 rooms: particularly valuable are Maximilian's Rooms, among which the bedroom, furnished as a ship's cabin, and the "Throne Room". Since 1955 the castle has been a State museum.

Under the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recordkeeping regulation, covered employers are required to prepare and maintain records of serious occupational injuries and illnesses, using the OSHA Injury and Illness Incident Report (Form 301), the OSHA Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses (Form 300) and the Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses (Form 300A). This information is important for employers, workers, and OSHA in evaluating the safety of a workplace, understanding industry hazards, and implementing worker protections to reduce and eliminate hazards.
Form 301 is one of the first forms filled out when a recordable work-related injury or illness has occurred. Form 300 is used to classify work-related injuries and illnesses and to note the extent and severity of each case. Employers must keep a log for each establishment or site. Listing a case does not mean the employer or worker was at fault or that an OSHA standard was violated. Form 300A is a summary that shows the total number of injuries and illness for the year.
Reminder to Post OSHA Form 300A
Covered employers must post Form 300A in a visible location in their workplaces every year from February 1 to April 30. Covered employers are those with more than 10 employees and whose establishments are not classified as a partially exempt industry. Those employers must fill out and post the summary annually, even if no recordable work-related injuries or illnesses occurred during the year.
OSHA and State Workers' Compensation
Cases that are recorded in the OSHA system may also be compensable under a state's workers' compensation system, but others may not. The two systems have different purposes and scopes. The OSHA recordkeeping system is intended to collect, compile, and analyze uniform and consistent nationwide data on occupational injuries and illnesses. The workers' compensation system, in contrast, is not designed to generate and collect data but is intended primarily to provide medical coverage and compensation for workers who are killed, injured, or made ill at work, and varies in coverage from one state to another.
As a result of these differences between the two systems, recording a case does not mean that the case is compensable under a state's workers' compensation system, or vice versa. When an injury or illness occurs to an employee, the employer must independently analyze the case in light of both the OSHA recording criteria and the requirements of the state's workers' compensation system to determine whether the case is recordable or compensable, or both.
Current and former employees, or their representatives, have the right to access injury and illness records. Employers must provide the requester with a copy of the relevant record(s) by the end of the next business day.
Questions on OSHA recordkeeping? Contact one of MRA's HR Advisors at 866-HR-HOTLINE (866-474-6854) or email@example.com.

Genomic sequencing projects are an abundant source of information for biological studies ranging from the molecular to the ecological in scale; however, much of the information present may yet be hidden from casual analysis. One such information domain, trends in codon usage, can provide a wealth of information about an organism's genes and their expression. Degeneracy in the genetic code allows more than one triplet codon to code for the same amino acid, and usage of these codons is often biased such that one or more of these synonymous codons is preferred. Detection of this bias is an important tool in the analysis of genomic data, particularly as a predictor of gene expressivity. Methods for identifying codon usage bias in genomic data that rely solely on genomic sequence data are susceptible to being confounded by the presence of several factors simultaneously influencing codon selection. Presented here is a new technique for removing the effects of one of the more common confounding factors, GC(AT)-content, and of visualizing the search-space for codon usage bias through the use of a solution landscape. This technique successfully isolates expressivity-related codon usage trends, using only genomic sequence information, where other techniques fail due to the presence of GC(AT)-content confounding influences.

Beveridge Group
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (January 2011)
|This article is outdated. (May 2015)
The Beveridge Group is a centre-left group within the Liberal Democrat party in the UK. It was set up in 2001 by MPs Alistair Carmichael, Paul Holmes, John Barrett and John Pugh to promote debate within the party regarding public service provision.
The group was set up largely in response to a perceived rightwards drift in Liberal Democrat thinking, typified by the economic liberalism of Lib Dem economic spokesman Vince Cable and former Home Affairs spokesman Mark Oaten.
In its first article, the group questioned the claim in the Liberal Democrat policy paper Setting Business Free that the party should "start with a bias in favour of market solutions":
"Should the party of Beveridge and Keynes approach issues with a prejudice in favour of the free market system? Should we enter every policy debate with an underlying belief that private is always better than public? I certainly do not think so. That was the approach which led the Conservatives to undertake the disastrous privatisation of British Rail in the mid 1990s." (Alistair Carmichael, 2003)
The role of the Beveridge Group has been brought into focus with the rise of Nick Clegg, another leading market liberal and Orange Book contributor, to the leadership of the party in 2007, and more so after his decision to lead the Liberal Democrats into a Coalition government with the Conservatives following the hung parliament result in the May 2010 general election. It has been noted that along with Clegg (now serving as Deputy Prime Minister) MPs who contributed to the Orange Book or are otherwise associated with the market liberal faction have occupied many positions in the Coalition Cabinet, including Vince Cable (Business Secretary), David Laws (briefly Chief Secretary to the Treasury), Danny Alexander (Chief Secretary to the Treasury), with others such as Ed Davey and Steve Webb also in ministerial posts, while it has been speculated that the more socially liberal Beveridge Group members are underrepresented in the Cabinet, perhaps signalling a 'takeover' of the Liberal Democrats by the so-called "Orange Bookers" [1]. However, Group members Norman Baker and Alistair Carmichael each hold ministerial ranks in the government, as Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Transport and Chief Deputy Whip for the Liberal Democrats in the government respectively, with Mark Hunter assigned as an Assistant Whip. Furthermore, in 2010 Group members Simon Hughes and Tim Farron were elected Deputy Party Leader and Party President, respectively.
On 18/12/13 Simon Hughes was appointed Minister of State at the Ministry of Justice

This is a raisin. I have written raisin beside it as I do realise that there could be some confusion. It does look just a tad like a rabbit poo or some other less-than-charming item. Rest assured it is indeed an innofencive dried fruit of the grape persuesion.
Ok, why has she photographed a raisin? Well guys, the other day I went to a Mindfulness group (knew I should have turned left for the flower arranging) and the raisin was the star.
Since nobody knew what Mindfulness actually was, the group leader (and I use that title lightly as he appeared a little confused as well) instructed us to take part in the 'Raisin excercise'. Everyone took 2 raisins from a bowl. He then told us to hold one in each hand, really study the wrinkled out fruit (and hope it doesn't take offence at such a personal description), look at it close up, move it further away, roll it in your fingers, squish it a bit. Now for the exciting stuff, lift it up to your ear and listen to your raisin (still with me here?), then smell the raisin, breath the raisin (resist temptation to stuff it up your nostril like a four year old and go screaming to A & E for handsome doctorly assistance. You are now to put this raisin down, and, taking the unfondled raisin that you were holding in the other hand (health and safety here) and pop it in your mouth. Hold it there, feel it, embrace it's wrinkliness, it's texture. now taste it, eat it so, so, so slowly and swallow it (you are knackered by this time). Now feel it going down your throat and follow it's journey towards your stomach. He stops at this point as the thought of gastric juices and bowel movements might just be taking all this mindfulness a tad too far.
You were then left clutching a seriously sticky raisin in one hand and hosting a slightly bemused expression about the face.
What was all this about? Well apparently we none of us experience the real world in real time and need to appreciate the 'now' and 'feel' things as they happen. Basically take a bit of time out to appreciate things and look at them. Mindfulness is living in the 'now', not harking back to the past and not worrying about the future. It is not stressing and God forbid that you should over-react in any way, as the word 'over' is in some way offensive as it would mean that something was not right. Lets keep it all nice and gentle and flowery and, hang on there, isn't this a hark back to the 60s and 70s? Shouldn't there be kaftans and tinkly bells and maybe a joss stick or two.
People were now smiling, nodding and looking at each other and saying things like "Oh I get it", "Don't judge by appearances, life is sweet", "I must appreciate the small things". There was a dodgy moment when I thought we might be asked to actually sing the praises of the damn raisin.
Is it me, was I the only person who thought 'What a crock', was I the only one there who had ever looked closely at anything before, surely not. I tend to spend most of my time scrutinising things anyway and thinking if they'd either (a) make a nice photo with interesting detail, or (b) be something interesting to remember and talk about here, or (c) is there something for my writing file.
It was all a bit 'let's contemplate out navels', maybe Julia Roberts latest film is already creating a wave of new thoughtfulness and awareness in our sourroundings and living conditions. Get zen, get ballanced.
Everyone was then asked to sum up in one word what they thought of the meeting. Comments ranged from 'Happy' to 'Releived' to 'Relaxed', mine, alas was 'Disapointed'. It could have been worse.
Really should have turned left for the flower arranging instead.

If you are a vehicle owner, your vehicle needs to be as safe as possible for the passengers in your car and fellow drivers on the road. There's a reason for having your car serviced regularly as this can identify any problems that need to be addressed and ultimately keep you safe on the road. However, it's hard to just depend on regular servicing to keep your vehicle safe; you need to frequently inspect the vehicle yourself. It's especially important to check out your car before long trips or during winter when you need to be prepared for icy and snow packed roads. So next we'll discuss a few easy checks you can carry out on your car to ensure your safety while driving.
The windshield of your car gives you a view of the road ahead and you definitely want that view to be optimal. You must be positive that you keep an eye out for any small chips in the windshield as you can more easily eliminate these before they become large cracks that may endanger you while you're on the road. The point is, keep your windscreen clear inside and out and check the condition of your wipers. In addition to being a distraction, an older wiper does not work well and can result in poor visibility in inclement weather. If you clean your windscreen you should always be using a cleaner that is meant for glass as you want a clear finish rather than any smearing.
A visual examination of your tires is not hard to do and if done correctly you can identify problems before they become more serious. Tire tread can wear down in a number of locations so be careful to inspect a tire completely, especially on the inner surface where it's not as easy to see. A more in-depth examination may also detect a nail or something else embedded in a tire and at that point you can take your car to a qualified fitter who can help you. In the course of the procedure of examining the tires already on your car, take a look at your spare tire and make sure that it doesn't have any problems because you never know when it may come in handy. Additionally it is very simple to check the pressure in each of your tires, and you want to get into the practice of doing so regularly.
You also need to schedule times where you examine various fluid levels and the different lights on your vehicle. When considering your protection, brakes are extremely important, and you should be familiar with any strange sounds that may occur because the brakes need to be replaced. It's not a bad idea to keep your car stocked with urgent situation supplies such as a first aid kit and a fire extinguisher, as well as warm blankets and extra food during the winter.
If vehicle safety is a concern for you, it's not that hard to complete some easy checking of various car systems; all you need to do is train yourself to check them regularly.

The Leafs came up with a big win last night at the ACC, downing their hated rivals, the Ottawa Senators by a score of 3-2. The boys played gritty hockey and outshot the Sens by a convincing 38-24. Toskala was outstanding, especially at the end of the game, preventing the Sens from getting the equalizer as they pressured with the extra man. This team is already looking like a better team, more fun to watch and more competitive, than Leafs teams from the past few years. They may not have the talent of recent Leafs teams (Sundin, Tucker, etc.), but they have heart, soul, and they play together! They look like they're having a good time out there and the fans of Leafs Nation have really taken them to heart. I am looking forward to getting the chance to watch a full game, rather than just online highlights, but since I don't have cable, it's going to be awhile before I have a free night to do that. But you can bet that, despite the fact we have a losing record right now, I'm really enjoying what I see! GO LEAFS!

Ya'll are just pissed that he took Sundin to school when he pretended to throw that stick into the crowd at the ACC!!!
That being said. You deserved that win. I hate it i hate it i hate it! but it's true! straight up. you outplayed us, without a doubt.
All that said, you won't make the playoffs and I'm confident our ship's sails will get righted. So enjoy the victories while they're here!

A foodie Tokyoite and a certified international kikisake-shi (sake sommelier certified to introduce sake to the international audience), I enjoy helping foreign guests discover authentic Japanese cuisine and sake. I have realized that Tokyo is a food paradise, however, exclusively for those who can understand the often uniquely-written menu of each restaurant and the cultural and historical context of various sake available from some 1,200 breweries around Japan.
I have experience presenting sake and giving lectures on sake for pairing with Japanese and western cuisines in and outside Japan. Also, I was previously a Japan correspondent for an international news agency, so I am used to explaining about not just food and sake but also the broader Japanese culture, mentality, and social structures to an international audience.

Enjoy a sake brewery visit and tofu kaiseki lunch in Tokyo
The sake brewery tour is great. The riverside lunch and sake tasting is our favorite part. Although its raining that day, Yumiko-san tried her best for us to have the most in our tour. She also help us recommend other things that we can go or try while in Japan. Thank you for everything.
Enjoy a sake brewery visit and tofu kaiseki lunch in Tokyo
This was a very good 'intro to sake' experience. Our guide Yumiko, being a sake sommelier, was very knowledgeable. Since the sake brewery does tours only in Japanese, her guidance throughout the tour made all the difference.
The tofu kaiseki lunch was probably the best meal I had this trip. I don't think we would have been able to appreciate the menu without Yumiko's help with explaining and communicating with the restaurant.
Above all, Yumiko was a very good travel guide, sharing a lot of insight on the Tokyo food scene, even giving great (non-touristy) restaurant recommendations for the rest of our trip.
Overall, an awesome way to enjoy a nice day out of the city.

The loss of a child is something that every parent fears, and no parent is ever prepared to face. Losing a child leaves a gaping hole in your life and heart, and it takes years to begin to heal. Even then, that hole never really closes, you just learn to live with it. When someone you know loses a child, it can be incredibly difficult to find the right words to comfort them, or know how to offer your support during such a difficult time. But it's so important to show them that you're there, and to help them work through their loss. So many bereaved parents don't have the support they need in the weeks and months after losing a child, especially when it comes to taking time off of work or being offered resources by their employer.
According to a survey conducted by Sands, a stillbirth and neonatal charity in the UK, as many as 4 out of 5 parents were not offered or given any support by their employer following the loss of their child. 2 out of 5 respondents reported that they were not offered any more time away from work. And approximately half of the 2,500 survey participants said that their employers didn't discuss any leave or entitlements to pay following the death of their baby.
In the UK, if a baby is stillborn after 24 weeks or dies shortly after birth, parents are still entitled to take maternity, paternity, and shared parental leave. They are also entitled to full parental rights and benefits. The government is considering adding an additional two weeks of pay and time off for parents who've lost a child, starting in 2020.
Some of the respondent's stories are absolutely heartbreaking. One father was fired from his job for taking a week off after the death of his baby girl. A mother says that even though her several of her colleagues and her manager attended her baby's funeral, none of them mentioned her baby again. Another mom shared that her colleagues quickly began sharing their own exciting baby news, so she felt unable to bring up her own loss.
So many people may not know what to say, or may be afraid of upsetting a bereaved parent by bringing up their baby. But it can be as simple as saying, "I'm so sorry", and letting the parent know that you're there for them when they're ready to talk or need someone to lean on. It's an ongoing process, but it's so important to remember that even though their lives were short, their babies existed and are so loved and missed by their parents.

Eye-Catcher Asymmetrical Clothes | Hot Trend This Summer
Asymmetrical Clothes
This season, asymmetric clothes are on the runways. One-shoulder dresses, skirts with uneven slits and one-sleeve shirts are the hit of this summer. Check out how to wear asymmetrical clothes and inspire yourself!
Navy Blue and white in asymmetry
In the spring-summer collections of many designers, you can see trends in asymmetrical creations. Saint Laurent puts on blouses and dresses revealing one arm, and Lanvin on straps of different thicknesses. On the top are also uneven ruffles, skirts and sweaters longer on one side and overlapping layers.
Inspired by the current trends, we have created styling with asymmetric garments. White, elegant blouse was combined with a skirt enriched with many bookmarks. We set white stilts and a tasteful envelope that perfectly matches the whole. This outfit, though original and unconventional, will surely work in the office or at official celebrations.
With a blouse on one shoulder
On warmer days, we chose a blouse for one arm, which looks great in combination with trousers and skirts of various lengths. The fashionable valance will add a bit of extravagance to our set and will work well for women with small breasts that will expand optically. We decided to put on a skirt with a striped skirt and yellow pins that lighten the entire outfit. If you do not like the look of a blouse that reveals one shoulder, you can always wear one with long sleeves that are also popular this season.
Asymmetrical sweaters
Our last proposal is best for colder days when you have to put on some warm layers. In this set, we combined two asymmetric sweaters – a sweater in pastel colors with the uneven finish we selected a black, "lying" cardigan.
This styling will work great with an airy skirt that will give us lightness and charm. Complete with high heels and leather handbag. In this kit, you will be presenting fashionable and unconventionally.
Asymmetrical dresses, asymmetrical skirts can be worn whatever your figure is, just as the ladies with fluffy shapes and slimmer ones look just as good. The most important are to choose the perfect length, and thanks to the asymmetry, delightfully expose their strengths.
You have beautiful legs – bravely put on a dress with a heavily cut front, you want to expose your beautiful neckline – wear a shirt with asymmetrical neckline, which will slightly reveal the shoulder.
You want to hide your imperfections, put on a dress with a long back, a delicate fabric that will soften the silhouette.
Asymmetrical women's clothing takes on a new dimension when you use original accessories that underline even more asymmetry.

We ask all volunteer groups to have their own transportation and be prepared to possibly be split up, although we will, of course, do our best to assign them to homes near each other. Final site assignments are emailed the Wednesday before the scheduled volunteer opportunity. That being said, construction is a very changing environment and we appreciate your flexibility should we need to reassign you to a new site due to the urgency of construction, weather delays, etc.
We offer volunteers full training on construction tasks, supervision, equipment, and a continuous supportive atmosphere; no previous construction experience or knowledge necessary. The tasks to be performed can include cleaning, scraping, building and, painting walls. They also include laying tiles, installing the internal part of the roofs and the proper handling of debris, all as required by the project. The suggested clothing is one that provides security and comfort, what is essential is to wear closed shoes, such as tennis shoes or construction boots.
A regular volunteer day is 8:30am-4:30pm Monday through Friday and Saturdays in special occasions. Exceptions include if the group will be working on sites in Yabucoa, in which case the hours are 9am-4pm; on Thursdays sites close early at 3pm.
On their first day, volunteers receive an SBP Orientation at our warehouse and from there go directly to their work sites, where our Project Leads will give them a safety orientation, establish the goal for the day, and train volunteers on the tasks they will be performing. Every other day volunteers will go directly to their respective sites. On their final day, their assigned Volunteer Coordinator will visit the work site and lead the group in their Next Step Meeting, which is an opportunity to reflect on the work they've done and its impact, buy SBP shirts, and discuss ways they support our mission in PR even after they go back home.
Please let us know if you have any questions on the above and if there's anything else we can help you with!!

Really Stepping In It
This has not been my month.
I've lost track of my training program, injured myself, overstressed feet constantly, and been run ragged by the army.
This morning I was made into an example.
I had my rank taken, my job removed, and my position as a future army officer questioned.
Overreaction? Yes.
I now have to plead my case in front the of the ROTC cadre in a few days time to decide if I get to stay in the program.
If I am kicked out of ROTC, I have to report for enlistment in no less than a month. Instead of becoming a leader I become a follower, a private, an E-1.
Needless to say, I am pissed.
And worse, I'm down.
I haven't been training properly, which would help alleviate the stress. I've run some pretty nice fivers and an easy six, but no long distances.
This isn't good for my goal in the marathon, but real life has decided to take a dirty ol' dump on me and it looks like it had milk the night before.
I didn't mean for this blog to become something of a livejournal, but sometimes you need to get this stuff off your chest.
Anyway, stay sharp out there.
Run fasterest.

British-American rockers Black Country Communion have told fans to brace themselves for some imminent "huge announcements."
As previously reported, Glenn Hughes, Jason Bonham, Derek Sherinian and Joe Bonamassa entered the studio in Hollywood back in January to commence work on their fourth studio album with acclaimed producer Kevin 'The Caveman' Shirley, who helmed the first three BCC albums.
Sharing an image of the Black Country Communion logo on his social channels at the time, Glenn Hughes wrote the caption "Here we go, BCC4 recording in Hollywood" alongside an emoji of a rocket taking off.
Now, in the band's first Twitter post in over four years, the band have vowed to make an announcement in the next 14 days.
BCC is BACK. Stay tuned, huge announcements coming later this month!— BC Communion (@bccommunion) July 14, 2017
They wrote: "BCC is BACK. Stay tuned, huge announcements coming later this month!"
Highly likely to include details of their fourth studio album, fans are also speculating about whether a tour will be included as part of the announcement(s).
Over the past week Glenn Hughes has been on the Black Country Communion promo trail in the UK and Germany, and last Monday (10th July) dropped by Planet Rock to record a BCC special.We'll have details on that very soon!
I recorded a BCC special @PlanetRockRadio today ⚡ good to spend some time with my friends, DJs and execs ? pic.twitter.com/t7evzdurbU— Glenn Hughes (@glenn_hughes) July 10, 2017

My name is… actually, it's fairly obvious what my name is, isn't it? I'd say there are four likely reasons why you've found yourself here – here on my website, not here as in "how did we get here?" That question is much harder to answer.
So, you'll probably want to know about:
Where I cover the stories that matter, and explore what they mean for the world – and for you.
Where I write to sell anything and everything. Mostly financial products. Mostly under someone else's name.
Where I go on ill-advised adventures, take photos and write about it.
That one is easy: email@example.com.
I run coinconfidential.com, which offers independent and in-depth crypto news, analysis and insight… so exactly what the myriad other crypto sites offer then, right?
Well, not exactly. If you visit coin confidential, you'll see we don't publish often, but what we do publish is well worth your time.
Our articles reveal how crypto is quietly reshaping industries all around the world – from finance to supply chain to insurance, advertising and energy, to name just a few – and show you how to capitalise on this new knowledge. You can subscribe to coin confidential for free here.
Prior to launching coin confidential I worked as the Editor of Southbank Research's daily tech investment e-letter, Exponential Investor, and monthly cryptocurrency publication, Crypto Wire, where I wrote to 85,000+ subscribers daily.
I've written over 400 in-depth articles, essays and guides about tech investment, gold investment, cryptocurrencies and financial independence.
Duis ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat volutpat.

Nam liber tempor cum soluta nobis eleifend option congue nihil imperdiet doming id quod mazim placerat facer possim assum.
Okay, get ready for the spiel…I spent four years copywriting for MoneyWeek and Fleet Street Publications. While there, my writing was responsible for over £400,000 of sales in one year alone.
Then in 2015 I helped Saga and Tilney Bestinvest launch their joint venture: Saga Investment Services. I worked as Saga Investment Services' sole copywriter for nine months, before moving on to Southbank Investment Research – the UK's main Agora affiliate.
I have extensive experience writing financial sales letters, emails, landing pages, magazine ads, order forms, PPC ads, long-copy and direct mail promotions... basically everything. I am also one of the few copywriters who can write compliant copy for a financially regulated environment.
Outside of work, I spend most of my time getting beaten up in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu or getting lost, taking photos and writing about it. Some people would call it travel photography, I call it misadventure photography.
You can see a few of my photos below, or head over to my instagram for more: @instaharrygram.

For everyone, the choice to grow a family is deeply personal. No matter what circumstances bring a patient to my practice, everyone brings their own story.
In more than ten years of private practice as a fertility specialist in Orange County, I have seen patients who:
- Are frustrated because they are unable to achieve or maintain a pregnancy after trying on their own.
- Are older than 35 years who want to grow their family, and are concerned about their age affecting their fertility or the health of their baby.
- Want to plan their families for the future.
- Face a risk to their future fertility in the form of cancer treatments or exposure from high-risk professions.
- Are LGBTQIA+ couples and want to grow their family.
- Want to become single parents by choice.
- Are concerned about hereditary issues they could pass on to their children.
And many more.
Everyone has questions. Sometimes my patients have done tons of research, and sometimes they don't know where to start looking. Either way, it all ultimately boils down to one essential question.
"What do I need to know so that I can grow my family?"
The answer to this question takes many forms and creates the basis for why I have patient education as a cornerstone of my patient-centered approach to care.
The more my patients know and understand their options, the better equipped they are to grow their families.
This blog for my practice allows me to empower patients and share the information that I've gathered as a physician, educator, and parent to share with those looking for answers.
My goals for this blog are to:
- Offer updates on new developments and trends in assisted reproductive medicine for those seeking to grow their families.
- Provide useful, medically accurate information about the known causes and treatments for infertility.
- Provide updates on public health concerns (such as Zika) affecting those seeking to grow their families.
- Acknowledge and support people who are coping with infertility, as well as providing them with useful advice as they start their journey.
- Provide information on infertility awareness, both here at home in Orange County, CA and around the world.
I hope you find it as enjoyable to read as it is to write.
If you have questions, or if you'd like to learn more about me or my practice, OC Fertility, then schedule your new patient consultation today or call us at (949) 706-2229.what

How would you like for Toyota to buy your next vehicle? That's what happened to Michigan's Jose Ortiz when he went to buy a 2010 Toyota Matrix.
Last month, when Ortiz purchased his new-to-him Toyota Matrix, he became the 4 millionth owner of a Toyota certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicle. This was more than just a cool bragging right for Ortiz; it was a historic event in the automotive world and for Toyota.
Never before has any automaker sold 4 million CPO vehicles. Until Toyota. Until now.
To celebrate the milestone, Toyota gave Ortiz a check for the amount of his now-famous Matrix and presented the Alpha House Interfaith Hospitality Network, a local non-profit, with a matching check.
The dealership where Ortiz purchased his car has supported the organization for many years.
"Driven by great teamwork, Toyota's certified used vehicle program has been a tremendous success not only in terms of units sold, but also in building customer loyalty," said Toyota Division's group vice president and general manager, Bill Fay. "Toyota was the first manufacturer to have a certified used vehicle program and there is no better way to celebrate this milestone than to buy a Toyota certified for our 4 millionth customer. On behalf of Toyota, I'd like to thank Jose Ortiz for being part of the Toyota family."
For more information about our Toyota CPO program here at Wondries Toyota, have a chat with one of our friendly staff. Maybe you'll be the customer who buys the next milestone car.

Mathura, Dwaravati chaiva saptaita mokshadayika
|Ram Ghat- Shipra Teerth
Devotees cannot take camera and mobile phones inside. The bags should be kept at safe lockers before entering the temple complex. The locker facility is free and very well organized. Though it wasn't a weekend or a monday, there was a long line. I thanked the authorities for having trees around so there is shade all over where people stand in line. The trees came with shade, and also birds and their droppings! It took around 4 hours to enter the main shrine. People took milk and water for abhishek which they themselves can perform. There are pandits who control the crowd, they push people out. There are many more smaller shrines here in the complex to visit. This was my first ever Jyotirlinga darshan.
After the main action point- visiting Mahakaleshwar Temple was striked off, went ahead to visit other important temples of Ujjain. Harasiddhi and Gadakalika are two shaktipeethas. Harasiddhi Temple has tow high towering lamp-stands in the complex, see the picture gallery below. I am sure when all the lamps are lit, the night show must be spectacular! The temple also has the Sri Yantra on the ceiling. The legendary poet Kalidasa was gifted the literary skills by Goddess Gadakalia for his sincere devotion to her.
And headed to Kal Bhairava Temple. The Kal Bhairav deity is, the most fierce menifestation of Lord Shiva among Ashta Bhairavas and is worshipped by tantric cult. From the parking I started walking towards the temple in the direction mentioned by my taxi driver. I was little shocked and thought I was in a wrong place- street side venders were selling liquor. Then little ahead I saw the pooja-thalis had liquor bottles too!! Wow! Something very interesting!
Once the stomach was full headed to Bhairugarh for Kailadeh Palace. After a gruelling drive in that van sort of vehicle with motorcycle engine I reached the lonely place. This palace was built on the island in river Shipra. The palace might have seen glorious days. When I visited there was hardly any water in this part of the river. I could see vast expanse of exposed rocky riverbed. These palaces are abandoned and crumbling, on that visitors have etched their names all over the walls adding to ugliness. Impressive is a still functioning Surya shrine.

Egypt: An Economic and Social Analysis
Egypt: An Economic and Social Analysis
Of the many works written on Egypt, almost all have been mainly concerned with Anglo-Egyptian relations. The object of this book is different: to describe the economic and social structure of Egypt up to the outbreak of the second world war. Hence political issues have been touched upon only in so far as they affect economic and social problems, and international questions have been almost completely neglected.
Egypt's problems deserve study not only because of their intrinsic interest but also because of the unique position that country occupies in the Arab and Islamic world. For Egypt is the undoubted leader of the chain of Arab countries stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Persian hills and at the same time is looked to as the fountain of orthodoxy by some two hundred and fifty million Moslems. Yet no attempt has been made since the last war to give a comprehensive view of the country's structure.
The difficulties of such an attempt are great and it is hoped that some of the shortcomings of this work will be attributed to them. For if certain sectors of the national economy, such as foreign trade and cotton, have been very thoroughly mapped out, others, notably industry and labour problems, have received very little attention. My sincerest hope is that sufficient research will be carried out in the next few years to render necessary the complete rewriting of this book, which will have served its purpose if it contributes in any way to stimulate such research.
It is impossible even to mention, much less to summarize, the many events which have taken place since this manuscript was finished, in March 1943. Three tendencies, however, deserve attention.
First the persistent inflation, due to the continued expenditure by British and Allied troops in Egypt and to the shortage of imports. By the spring of 1945 the Cost of Living Index had risen to nearly four times its pre-war level, causing much hardship to fixed income earners. At the same time Egypt's sterling balances have risen to about £300 million. It is now being realized that these balances will not be fully available for the purchase of goods, even within the sterling area, for some time . . .
