another gem from the scully pen, trying to speak of the unspoken,sssshhhhhh, simple even for a Neanderthal to understand..
Super stuff. Loving this post, will be sharing it on The Happy Womb Facebook page!
Did you know that there are red tents emerging all around the world – check out the many groups on Facebook and my book "Moon Time: a guide to celebrating your menstrual cycle" Ffor more on their history and how to start one up. and guide for girls "Reaching for hte MOon" which is set in a red tent, as a place to initiate girls to womanhood. Also check out the wonderful REd Tent Movie "Things we don't talk about: women's stories from the red tent." and of course my website for women's resources http://www.thehappywomb.com
Agree agree – I want a red tent!
Hi Barbara
I so agree,as you know I have 4 girls and yes how nice would it be to take time out to allow us to feel crap every month.
Another issue which I would love you to look at is maternity leave, Sinead has just had her second premature baby, born at 32 weeks and 4lbs. In this county maternity leave begins the day the child is born, even though our little man Ned will not be home with us for at least 7 weeks, this precious time is eating in to her maternity leave. It should begin when the child is allowed home…

Ah Holy moses, I was just eating a sandwich ………..
First: LOVELOVELOVE the phrase Red Wave Feminism. It has so many great overtones and undertones, and because of Communism it even sounds subversive– well, a woman-oriented society would be, now wouldn't it?
Second, Yes to the Red tent, book and idea. If we had that, people might get over a lot of other nonsense.
Great post!
Peace, Mari
Love it. I recently worked with a very old lady (yip she's still working) and she told me in the early 1950's she and other female secretaries would get 3-5 days off per month – just didn't show up, no questions asked!
A few years ago BBC2 screened a documentary series called 'Tribal Wives'. In each episode a different British woman went to live for a period of weeks with a so called 'primitive' tribe in various parts of the developing world.
There was one particular episode that stands out in my memory because it dealt with what happened when that week's British woman got her period. In the tribe she was living with menstruating women had to go to a special hut on the outskirts of the village. So off our British woman went, somewhat horrified that she was being 'put out' of the village as if unclean. But she found the experience very soothing. In the special hut she was minded by other women who braided her hair and she was not expected to do any work. After a few days she returned to her duties in the village feeling refreshed.
I had forgotten about this until recently when I read a wonderful book by Anita Diamant called The Red Tent. This book tells the story of Dinah who is the daughter of Jacob, he of the infamous 12 sons, one of whom had a Multicoloured Dreamcoat. But what I found so engrossing about this book was the actual Red Tent.
Dinah grew up with many mothers as Jacob had many wives. As is generally the case when women live together, their menstrual cycles synchronised and so the Red Tent was where the women of the extended family went while they bled. For three days and nights, they did no work, no cooking but spent what sounded like a reasonably relaxing time chilling out together in their own female tent.
I just love this idea of retreat for a few days once a month. Imagine if instead of living in a world that has evolved from a patriarchal society we actually had come from a matriarchial system. How would our world differ? Well for one I doubt we women would have gotten to the 21st century pretending we don't actually have periods.
This pretence is beginning to change. We now have ads for tampons and towels with their cute little wings on the TV but the ads are largely a bit weird and full of blue liquid.
Last year Bodyform posted a brilliant ad on YouTube addressing a Facebook post by 'Richard' who sought to expose the lies contained in the advertising of feminine hygiene products. In this ad, Caroline Williams, fictional CEO of Bodyform, admits that their ads have lied but makes the point that their focus groups in the '80s couldn't handle the truth of periods with mood swings and cramps etc. She even makes reference to crimson landslides.
Lately another period ad has been causing a sensation online. This one features a young girl who is the first in her group to get her period and becomes (for a while) a kind of period superhero distributing tampons all around her.
And that, right there, is the point. Women are superheroes. Once a month we manage to carry on for a couple of days through cramps, headaches, mad appetite surges, sore breasts and the need to be reasonably near a loo every couple of hours. Do we complain? Not if we know what's good for us we don't? Do we look for some time out? Oh no, because then we mightn't be equal to the guys. So instead we dose up on painkillers and we try not to give the game away by putting a comforting hand on our sore abdomens as we carry on with business as usual.
It's the same way we pretend we don't miss our kids when we are in work. It's why we are afraid to be seen crying. We are hyper aware of doing or saying anything that might make us seem less, well, less macho than the guys. We deny a lot of what being a woman is about.
It's time for a new wave of feminism. It's time we looked at how our world is organised and made some enlightened changes. We need better work life balance, better maternity (and paternity) leave, we need to be proud of our emotions and we need better and affordable childcare. But most of all… we need to shout loud that WE ARE WOMEN AND WE BLEED… and sometimes that feels crap. Actually perhaps this wave could be called the Red Wave of Feminism.
It's time that we took a lesson from our ancestors and our sisters in supposedly 'less developed' countries. I am not suggesting a row of red tents on the outskirts of our cities, town and villages… although if they came with a spa attached.. well maybe. Could you imagine the networking possibilities of powerful women spending some quality time together once a month doing nothing but planning and dreaming and thinking? It would be better than the golf club has ever been.
But we need to stop pretending that being a woman is very similar to being a man. Because it's not. And no, I haven't written this while suffering PMT… I'm menopausal!

This is part of an actual conversation during an "AIS" math class. If you are unfamiliar with "AIS," it stands for Academic Intervention Services. The AIS math class is designed to help students who are struggling with various math concepts (we have ELA AIS as well). Most students end up in AIS because of a below proficient score on the previous years state exam. I am not necessarily opposed to testing per se, as long as it is used appropriately. If we are teaching using best practice and developing students at their level, the tests are something we will just deal with as the time comes. One would think that just by listening to the conversation, that these particular students do not need remediation for this particular topic.
I believe that the teaching of concept and skill are linked and cannot stand alone in isolation. One without the other would be like peanut-butter without the jelly. Each decent on their own, but together a classic. As we pilot, we must look at what will be the best fit for our students. We need to take what we know is best practice and incorporate the new program with that.
For example, when developing the idea of division of fractions. Some teachers will just teach "invert and multiply." Others will just teach it through a picture representation. Well what happens when students move on to more difficult fractions and algebra? Why aren't we discussing the generalized formula and the inverse operation of division, multiplication. What do I mean?
The focus needs to be on the students and teaching them what they need, not a test, a program, or a workbook.

Two distinct types of eclogites from the Raspas Complex (Ecuador), which can be distinguished based on petrography and trace element geochemistry, were analyzed for their stable (Li, O) and radiogenic (Sr, Nd) isotope signature to constrain metasomatic changes due to fluid-overprinting in metabasaltic rocks at high-pressure conditions and to identify fluid sources. MORB-type eclogites are characterized by a relative LREE depletion similar to MORB. High-pressure (HP) minerals from this type of eclogite have highly variable oxygen isotope compositions (garnet: + 4.1 to + 9.8 ‰; omphacite: + 6.1 to + 11.0 ‰; phengite: 8.7 to 10.4 ‰; amphibole: 6.2 to 10.1 ‰) and generally show equilibrium oxygen isotope fractionation. Initial 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios are also variable (0.7037-0.7063), whereas εNd130Ma values (+ 8.3 to + 11.0) are relatively similar. Sr and O isotopic compositional differences among rocks on outcrop scale, the preservation of O isotopic compositions of low-temperature altered oceanic crust, and Sr-Nd isotopic trends typical for seafloor alteration suggest inheritance from variably altered oceanic crust. However, decreasing δ7Li values (-0.5 to -12.9 ‰) with increasing Li concentrations (11-94 ppm) indicate Li isotope fractionation by diffusion related to fluid-rock interaction. Li isotopes prove to be a very sensitive tracer of metasomatism, although the small effects on the Sr-Nd-O isotope systems suggest that the fluid-induced metasomatic event in the MORB-type eclogites was small-scale at low-water/rock ratios. This metasomatic fluid is thought to predominantly derive from in situ dehydration of MORB-type rocks.
Zoisite eclogites, the second eclogite type from the Raspas Complex, are characterized by the presence of zoisite and enrichment in many incompatible trace elements compared to the MORB-type eclogites. The zoisite eclogites have a homogenous Sr-Nd isotopic signature (Initial 87Sr/86Sr = 0.7075-0.7081, εNd130Ma = -6.7 to -8.7), interpreted to reflect a metasomatic overprint. The isotopic signature can be attributed to the metasomatic formation of zoisite because associated zoisite veins are isotopically similar. Relatively homogenous O isotope values for garnet (10.9-12.3 ‰) omphacite (9.4 to 10.8 ‰), amphibole (10.0-10.1 ‰) and zoisite (10.5-11.9 ‰) and inter-mineral O isotopic disequilibria are consistent with a metasomatic overprint via open-system fluid input. Li concentrations (46-76 ppm) and δ7Li values of the zoisite eclogites overlap the range of the MORB-type eclogites. The large amount of fluid required for isotopic homogenization, combined with the results from fluid inclusion studies, suggests that deserpentinization played a major role in generating the metasomatic fluid that altered the zoisite eclogites. However, influence of a (meta)sedimentary source is required based on Sr-Nd isotope data and trace element enrichments. The significant geochemical variation in the various eclogites generated by interaction with metasomatic fluids has to be considered in attempts to constrain recycling at convergent margins.

ATTEMPT – Personal Fables
Soul Pop Fusion
Desperate Spirits // Hop Hop Records – February 14, 2017
As an album, Personal Fables is one of the richest collection of eight songs to come out of Lexington in several years. This meticulous orchestration and arranging is made that much more impressive after realizing it was written and performed almost singularly by Trevor Tremaine – minus trumpet and saxophone, everything you hear here is his doing. The songs here are so densely-packed that they become fresher on each repeated listen, propelling them forward with constant momentum as they roll into the next of a seemingly endless supply of ideas.
The album opens with the manic "Personal Best," which rolls the bassline, drums, guitar, and vocal riffs into one smooth hook – the track yields toward the final third of the song, setting up a great guitar solo through its end. "Life and a Day" has maybe the catchiest and most accessible chorus of the album, yet the song still manages to break the mold with its contrasting bridge (plus, I love the line "I am an idling time machine, and I'm going nowhere slow" that sets it up). On the first few listens, "The One and Only," didn't stick out to me a lot, but the tight rhythm and arrangement in the chorus eventually reveals itself as delightfully smooth and well-done. "Incompetence" is perhaps the track the benefitted the most from multiple listens. The lyrics carry the story from start to finish, and the lush instrumentation throughout the track make it one of the most immaculate, enjoyable listens of the album.
"Getting It" is punchy, clever, and self-referential – it pushes and pulls throughout the track, forcing you to listen closely (in which case you'll hear little treats like "smoking squares outside the Speedway," a quick line which has rolled around my head all week). The album reaches its most experimental point on "Beyond Cliche'" which walks the harmony all over the map, stretches an angular melody over top of it (while managing to make it fit naturally on top of the unusual progression), and packs in another quick, sharp spoken-word bridge. "You Have Lived" may be the album's peak – as the penultimate track, it is arranged as a ballad, with only vocals and a shimmering organ. The lyrics here are just as sharp as on the rest of Personal Fables (and, at times, they even lean into the same tongue-in-cheek territory that many of the other songs inhabit), ruminating on the line "a life of no regrets is the only kind worth living." Tremaine sings through a lifetime of missed opportunities, and by the time the song nears its finish, it swells into a gorgeously multi-tracked chorus of "you have lived" that carries through to the end. Closing the album is the quick "The Worst Thing that Could Happen," which brings things full-circle into the same exciting territory of the album's opener.
This album is thoroughly enjoyable – it manages to be smart, inventive, and wordy, while remaining catchy and fun. Its singular point of creative origin becomes more apparent upon each repeated listen, and Trevor never favors density of ideas over the ability of these ideas to work in harmony with one another – they're simply arranged in a way that works. Personal Fables is a must-hear album, and is unlike anything else I've heard from Lexington.
Pre-order Personal Fables from Desperate Spirits, and you can download and listen to the album immediately (and I recommend you do).

Idiot Glee – Idiot Glee
Psychedelic Doo-Wop Pop
Hop Hop Records – January 29th, 2016
Idiot Glee is a musician that most who are interested in Lexington music are acquainted with to some extent – Idiot Glee is the newest album, and the best, most representative yet. This self-titled release is the first release since Four, and the first released through Lexington's Hop Hop Records since Life Without Jazz was issued close to three years back. It's no coincidence, I think, that this album is self-titled, even if it comes more than five years, more than five albums into the Idiot Glee discography. The album captures elements of all the past releases – the songwriting of Four, the texture and ambience of The Prairie, the clarity of Life Without Jazz – and combines them all into something distinctly and simply defined as Idiot Glee.
The album is also the most album-like of any release thus far. "Deep Warm Something" sounds much like it's titled, easing you into the album with whirling electronic tones before giving away into an uptempo ragtime-esque piano-driven groove. With your palette effectively cleansed, "Baby (I Could Be Your Bone)" is a hazy, rich, mid-tempo, danceable tune with a catchy guitar hook and a lengthy instrumental outro. "What's That Smell?" is a fun, nearly surfy track, and recalls some of the piano of the intro track – the instrumental breaks between verses getting noisier and more distorted as the song progresses. Slowing back down, "I Don't Feel Right" grooves steadily as Friley offers offers one of the most personal lyrics of the album, mixed with a really gorgeous midpoint – listen closely when the psychedelic, doo-woppy wave of synthesizers, drum machines, and "why don't I" crashes into the second half of the song. A shorter instrumental interlude, "Chinese New Year" is thoroughly reminiscent of the more ambient music found on The Prairie, but is not simply a throwaway track – it sets up the second half of the LP, while carefully keeping momentum under close control.
The album's latter half starts out strongly with the first single, "Evergreen Psycho" – a richly produced track mixing acoustic guitar, piano, and bright keyboards as it relates the story of an evergreen tree befriending a cactus, only to steal the water it holds inside. The two tracks that follow were among the last on the album to leave an impression on me, but particularly interesting ones nonetheless. "Personal Computer Television" is orchestrated much like another track from The Prairie but with almost unsettling lyrics, like "have you ever told your brother / mom / priest / sis they're just the same" as it simmers down to a quiet close. Friley looks to the future on "The Whip" as he sings about teaching "the kids how to write a hook," punctuating verses with increasingly noisy guitar breaks. "Chinese New Year Reprise" settles things back down a little, leading straight into the last song. "The River" is a picture perfect 'final track' to an album, and a beautiful one at that – after an introduction of only piano and harmonized vocals, it bursts richly into the second half of the song and gives Idiot Glee a sense of definite closure.
All in all, this album listens all the way through better than anything Idiot Glee has put out thus far. And though it might sound familiar to those who have listened to past albums, it seems confidently the most illustrative of the sound that James Friley wants to achieve. The songs are more intimately personal than before, the orchestration is brilliant, the production is pristine, and Idiot Glee is an album absolutely representative of its maker.
Tracks I Liked: Baby (I Could Be Your Bone)!!, What's That Smell?, I Don't Feel Right!!!, Evergreen Psycho!!!, Personal Computer Television, The Whip!, The River!!

Idiot Glee – "I Don't Feel Right"
Steady Doo-Wop Pop
November 20th, 2015 – Hop Hop Records
[Released Ahead of Upcoming LP, Idiot Glee – Out January 29th, 2016]
"I Don't Feel Right" is the second single released by Idiot Glee in anticipation of the upcoming self-titled LP to be released next Friday. The song establishes a steady groove with only drums and guitar before a rich texture of bass and synths lead us into the verse. Lyrically, the track feels very personal, with Friley wishing that he hadn't made his mom worry, revealing secret fears, and admitting of course "I don't feel right." It's a song that becomes somehow sadder but more comfortable upon multiple listens – it's honest, it's exposed, but it's confident and strong. Gorgeously produced like "Evergreen Psycho," the sonic highlight of the song comes when the psychedelic, doo-woppy wave of synthesizers, drum machines, and "why don't I" crashes into the second half of the song. "I Don't Feel Right" should not only satisfy the long-time Idiot Glee fan, it should serve as a bridge and a pleasant step forward towards what's in store on the rest of the upcoming Idiot Glee.
You can expect Idiot Glee in its entirety next Friday, January 29th from Hop Hop Records, and make it to the release show at Al's Bar that night at 9:00 PM.

Idiot Glee Announces New Album, Shares Single "Evergreen Psycho"
On Friday, Lexington's Idiot Glee announced that they'd be releasing their self-titled album on January 29th. Idiot Glee will be released through Hop Hop Records and is the first release since Four was released about a year and a half ago in 2014. Given the album notes uploaded on Bandcamp, and much like previous releases, this album looks to be made mostly of the sounds of its central musician, James Friley – though there will be some additional sounds on a few tracks from Case Mahan and Jamie Adkins, both members of the live band. The album art, which is pictured, was created by renown Lexington artist, Robert Beatty – who has done work for several of Idiot Glee's previous releases. Stephen Trask, another Lexingtonian known for writing the music for Hedwig and the Angry Inch, helped produce the album – his presence is evident in the remarkable fullness and fidelity that is found on the single that was shared.
"Evergreen Psycho" is embedded below, and is a bit of a departure from the more dominant sounds on previous Idiot Glee albums, but it also feels like the natural progression. Gone are the old-school drum machines that made up Life Without Jazz and Paddywhack, as well as the lo-fi tape warble of Four. Instead, it's replaced with spotless production, layers of keyboards, and nearly a psychedelic haze. If you're an Idiot Glee fan, you've probably already heard it – if you haven't, you should give it a play:

One of two indoor Dancing on the Edge shows not taking place at the Firehall this year is MascallDance's The Outliner, a compilation of pieces that choreographer Jennifer Mascall has made over the years in dialogue with different material objects, and that the company is presenting at its home base, The Labyrinth studios in St. Paul's Anglican Church on Jervis Street in the West End. An expertly curated and imaginatively staged evening of five short dances that brilliantly showcases the talents of a diverse array of dancers and designers, and featuring music by Stefan Smulovitz and lighting by John McFarlane (both colleagues in Contemporary Arts at SFU), The Outliner quite literally takes audiences on a ride they won't soon forget.
For one of the conceits of the show is that audience members sit on wooden pews that have been placed atop moveable platforms. As one piece transitions into the next we are wheeled about The Labyrinth's white Marleyed floor by an army of stagehands standing at the ready behind us; they move us into different geometrical and spatial configurations as the dictates of each work's choreography--and the shape and dimension of each set of objects--demand. But in so doing Mascall and her creative team have also cannily choreographed a sixth piece, the audience's quixotically sedentary movement with the pews constituting yet another dance between humans and objects.
At the top of the show the pews are facing each other in two diagonal rows. Between them the great Robin Poitras, her arms and waist and legs entwined in a series of circular wooden rings designed by Nathan Wiens, moves with delicacy and grace, advancing the length of the diagonal in the first part of We Are an Unfinished World, the only piece on the program receiving its premiere. Poitras and her rings will return three more times over the course of the evening: first as a magically moving conical triangle that completely obscures Poitras's body hiding underneath; then as an inverted bowl, with the top of Poitras's head just visible; and finally back to the deconstructed rings encircling different limbs.
Profilo Eterno, from 2011, features Elissa Hanson as a grounded skydiver, or a space traveler from another planet trying to make it back home. Racing onto the stage wearing a black vest from which I was half expecting a parachute to emerge, Hanson dons a helmet adorned with three plumes of bendy white plastic. Over the course of the piece, which features text by Susan McKenzie, Hanson will afix additional strips of plastic to her body via the vest she wears, metamorphosing into a multi-antennaed insect or satellite dish depending on one's perspective (the design is by Elliot Neck, after a concept by Catherine Hahn). Either way, there is no denying the force of the signals Hanson is both receiving and sending out.
Kaspar is the earliest work on the program. It dates from 1984 and in this iteration features Ballet BC's wonderful Gilbert Small wielding two sets of branches like truncheons against an invisible enemy. It begins with Small on demi point, one leg behind the other, his back arched, but with the weight of his upper body shifted forward and his arms in front of him clutching the stems of the branches, the tops of which graze the floor. Slowly he begins to undulate his torso, rounding and arching his back as he begins a slow forward walk, his head every now and then shifting suddenly from side to side, alert to potential threats. It was quite thrilling to see Small up close like this, especially when he steps up the tempo and begins flying through the air like he's Solor in La Bayadère, the branches slicing through the air like so many blades cutting into enemy flesh (though I am aware, as is often the case with the roles in which Small is cast, how this image reinforces tropes of the exotic other).
Next up was The Politics of Meaning (2010), a witty duet featuring the young dancers Ewoynn Penny-Hugeot and Amy Donnelly about the mechanics of writing (Alan Storey is the design engineer on this one) that also doubles as an allegory about dance notation and physical versus linguistic scores. Finally, the evening concludes with Graft, a 1991 solo featuring an arachnid-like fan of plastic poles designed by Ines Ortner (from a concept by Susan Berganzi), and here expertly manipulated by the gorgeous dancer Renee Sigouin.
All of this unfolded in just under an hour, and I could have easily sat through a half dozen more such vignettes. The Outliner is truly exceptional in its conceptual rigour and technical execution, a multi-disciplinary study in the myriad ways we dance with things.

Kabir is leaving for office. Zara runs to him and asks if he will take her or she has to take auto today too? Kabir stares at her and motions to sit in car. He sees car tyre punctured. He asks servants where are other cars? he says some are out with Shahbaz and Kashan and some gone for repairing. Zara says what about auto now? Kabir asks servant to call for an auto, he will go with her. Zara teases that they should buy a small car, he says now? she says no later.

Woman cries and ask them to help her, she has kids, Kabir asks if she has any skill for job? woman says I got married in early age so I never worked. Kabir says we will arrange something for you, he gives her money for time being, woman thanks him and leaves. Zara says to Kabir that think if she had education then she wouldnt have to beg to raise her kids, like kids from madaras, we can also teach skills to women of this nation so they are dont depend on anyone. She leaves. Kabir recalls how Miraj said that he heard his wife's thoughts and liked them.

Miraj asks what she is thinking? sign it. Ruksaar doesnt sign it and leaves from there. Miraj asks what was that? Kabir says she might be worried about her would be husband, she didnt want to work on this project, I will go and talk to her. Ayesha is tensed, Zara motions for her to relax.
Kabir comes to Ruksaar's room. Ruksaar says I am sorry, Kabir asks are you worried about Hamdan? thats why you dont want to sign the project? Ruksaar says I didnt sign the project because of Hamdan but because of Zara, till when I will lose you to Zara, she hugs him tightly. Zara comes there. Kabir pushes her away and asks what are you doing? Ruksaar says you were going to marry me then Zara came in and I lost you, you are my lover since childhood, till when I will have to keep sharing you? I want you. Kabir shouts no.. listen carefully, I am married and Zara is my wife, dont think about whatever happened, start your new life. He turns to leave but Ruksaar holds his hand, he says leave my hand. Zara comes there and pushes her hand away, Zara says can you listen that we are married? he is my husband and I am his wife, you have no right on him, stop all this. Kabir says to Ruksaar that Zara is right, forget about what happened, think about how God has given us this chance to serve this nation, come and be a part of it, he leaves. Zara says you crossed limit today by trying to come closer to Kabir. Ruksaar says you havent seen my limits till now. Zara says manage your limits now because no one is on your side, maybe not even Miraj, get ready and come down. Ruksaar says do you think you won by being a part of this project? you will work on this project and I will work to make you lose respect in his eyes, I wouldnt breath till I make you fall in his eyes, she leaves.

Shahbaz congratulate them on the project. Ruksaar says Zara we are business partners now, wont you hug me? she forcefully pulls her and hugs her.
Miraj comes to Ruksaar's room, she glares at him. Ruksaar says why did you do it? I told you to not play games with me but seems like you didnt listen to me clearly so what I will do now will be your responsibility, I will tell your truth to Kabir and his family, your facade will come off, she turns to leave but Miraj grabs her hand. He says dont forget this is my story and you are just a character, you cant threaten others when you are in deep too. Ruksaar says dont underestimate me, I have only one mission in life and I can do anything for it. She leaves.
Zara comes to Kabir and asks if he is thinking about Ruksaar? Kabir says she is walking on a path that will destroy her. Kabir says we have to do anything but save her. Zara says we saved her before too by giving her blood, we will save her this time too, I have a plan to save her. She tells him some plan which is muted, Kabir says we can do this? Zara says yes and Miraj promised to help us.
PRECAP- Miraj says to Kabir that tell your wife that I have done my part of work, she will get results in the evening.
Shahbaz asks family who is coming today? why all are preparing so much? Ruksaar says to Zara that even Shahbaz promised to make me his daughter in law because he knows I am better than you, Zara looks on. Ruksaar says to Zara that you dont know some people who are part of this game but are hidden behind curtain.

Here's some alarming news – according to a California Watch report, deaths related to pregnancy complications in 2006 is triple the number reported a decade ago. An increase in cesarean sections was cited as one of the main culprits for this drastic swell in pregnancy-related deaths. The report also mentions the fact that the amount of C-sections have increased about 50 percent during the same time period, which equals nearly one in three babies!
This topic of discussion has gained a lot of momentum in pregnancy forums these days. Ricki Lake's 2008 documentary The Business of Being Born also explores the maternity care system in America and how it is treated more like a business than something that is much more important than money – your health and your baby's health! One of the major points of the documentary is to point out that the infant mortality rate in the US is not as low as we think. We are 4% higher than Singapore which according to CIA World Factbook has the lowest infant mortality rate. The California Watch report also states that "it's more dangerous to give birth in California than it is in Kuwait or Bosnia."
Listen to our podcast about C-sections for more information about the procedure and it's risks.

Virat Kohli Dethrones Steve Smith To Become World No.1 Test Batsman
Virat Kohli is the seventh Indian and first since India batting legend Sachin Tendulkar in June 2011 to achieve this milestone.
India captain Virat Kohli on Sunday leapfrogged Australia's Steve Smith to become the No.1 Test batsman in the world, the International Cricket Council confirmed in a media release. Kohli is the seventh Indian and first since India batting legend Sachin Tendulkar in June 2011 to achieve this milestone. Kohli, who scored 149 and 51 in the Edgbaston Test against England, ended Steve Smith's 32-month reign as the top-ranked batsman and reached the top of the summit for the first time in his 67-Test career.
Smith had held the top spot since December 2015. Kohli now leads the former Australia captain by five points, but will have to maintain the form in the remaining four Tests to finish the series as the world's highest-ranked batsman, according to ICC.
Tendulkar had joined South Africa's Jacques Kallis in number-one position in January 2011, but had dropped to second spot following the Jamaica Test in June 2011 after he had missed the three-Test series against the West Indies.
Apart from Kohli and Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Gautam Gambhir, Sunil Gavaskar, Virender Sehwag and Dilip Vengsarkar are the other India batsmen to have achieved the number-one ranking during their careers.
However, at 934 points, Kohli has become India's highest-ranked batsman, 14th overall, on the all-time tally of points. Kohli had entered the Edgbaston Test on 903 points, 13 points behind Gavaskar, and is now ahead of the ICC Cricket Hall of Famer by 18 points.
If Kohli can deliver another strong performance in the second Test at Lord's, then he can break into the top-10 by leapfrogging Matthew Hayden, Kallis and AB de Villiers, whose highest points tally was 935 each. Donald Bradman (961) and Steve Smith (947) are the two batsmen sitting on top of this exclusive list.

Inheritance & Widows in Kom - Kwifoyn enactments
For the second time in recent memory, Laikom has listened to the people and acted in the interest of the people. The first time was about cry-dies and funeral celebrations which involved a lot of wasteful expenditures and left the living dying more of hunger.
This time around, it has been about widows and orphans. Kwifon and the Fon have listened to the cry of the widows and orphans and on the 20th March enacted some changes in the matrilineal inheritance tradition of Kom which for the first time gives a voice to the widows. This is truly good news for all of us, 'That every Yindo before the disposal of any property or parcels of land of the deceased must have the consent of the widow and the orphans'.
This good news came like a boomerang or a jilt on those who have argued that tradition is untouchable, that it is sacrosanct or holier than even the Ten Commandments. While they can break any of the Ten Commandments without qualms of conscience, they have held that no one can break tradition without dire consequences. The consequences have always been thought to catch the victim rather than the victimizer. In reality it has been the victimizers who suffer from transgressing tradition because they transgress it abusively. This was treated in the book, 'Inheritance and Christianity in Kom'. Many people are held in bondage here because with impunity, they transgress the rights of the widows and orphans in the name of tradition.
As I mentioned, the Lord listens to the cry of the widow. This time he has done so through Laikom. When I broke this good news to some women in the Parish one woman exclaimed that the Fon is opening a way for tradition to kill them. That is where many people do not understand what we mean by tradition. We shall come back to this question: What is tradition? We thank God that Laikom is now clearing tradition of these abusive elements. Where there is dialogue there is peace and harmony. We pray that God will cause every family in Kom to live in this Peace of God, which will flow down from now henceforth on every family like oil flowing from the beard of Aaron.
I could also sense some anxiety on the faces of those who have the attitude of sitting and waiting for a compound to inherit. They feel bad that the custodians of tradition are putting breaks on their unbridled greed to grab and sell. It was an area where hunters hunted without due regard to the rules of the game, that is why the Fon did not only stop at that, he put breaks, which has been what is lacking in Kom tradition. The Bo-nteh, Quarter heads are now empowered to be the guardians to ensure that there are no longer any transgressions behind the back of the custodians of tradition. Guardians who connive to do any cover up will now be the persons to face the dance of the music. This issue is so overwhelmingly in our interest that all quarter heads must be on the watch out, because this is a bridge to peace among our people. They should take seriously what Laikom says, 'The first person that Kwifon and the administration shall hold responsible in case of the disrespect of these rules shall be the Bo-nteh or quarter head.
Laikom also says 'Every Yindo in Kom land shall abide by the rules of inheritance without exception. The rules of inheritance in Kom are very clear. Each young man knows the compound he is designated to inherit. But the Yindo hunters have always come up with stories that their uncle before he died willed the compound to them. In most cases only such people know about the fabricated will. Such strategies undercut tradition and put confusion in the family. Some compounds have remained uninhabited till today because of such claims and others have been in a perpetual and unending struggle between some brothers or some uncles and nephews. If one becomes a Yindo by tradition, you cannot will the compound to whosoever of your choice. The same tradition that made you a Yindo will make him whose rightful turn it is to be a Yindo. As you did not enter the compound on your own, so the next person cannot enter by your own will. It is only according to the very tradition that placed you there. That is what Laikom is rightly insisting upon. One can make a will strictly speaking only on what is private property.
One hopes that the Yindo hunters will get the message and cease their hunting attitude which has spilt friction and untold harm to some families. One aspect that Laikom must watch out for, and the administration must also take very seriously, is the planting of medicine in compounds by the hunters. Such an attitude must be drastically handled to deter people from engaging in it. Christians will be sanctioned if it is brought to the knowledge of the parish priest that one of his Christians did this. In the first place the medicine is for what? To kill, to cause persons living there to be sick, to influence them to pack out or for what? Such an attitude portrays a pagan attitude unbecoming of any Christian worthy of the name. That is what I call cultural intimidation. It is meant to scare the inhabitants away to give room to the contesters. The action can be given several interpretations. It is also a criminal act and can be considered as attempted man slaughter. Christians must not involve themselves in such actions. Dialogue is the answer not medicine.
SNL from the depths of it heart abundantly thanks Laikom for bringing sanity into a tradition that has had untold havoc on the lives of the people. The procedures put in place will bring a certain measure of peace among the people. One also understands that the Second Class Chief of the six quarters of Njinikom met and also decided that in the event of the death of any bobe, they will be no cutting of goats until the family has said who the next Yindo will be. That will certainly guard against people making claims and holding a whole compound to ransom. One prays that this will empower the elders here to handle the issue of inheritance and make sure that it is according to tradition. This will greatly minimize conflict over inheritance which is embroiled in many compounds sometimes leading to the dissertation of the compound.
All of us are anxious to live here in peace subject to the laws of the State and those traditions that are contrary to the laws of the State have to be eliminated. Wherever there is conflict between tradition and the law of the State, the law of the State must prevail. It is only by doing this that we shall all feel secure. The rights of the widows and orphans have now been upheld by Kom tradition. The most operative word in this change is that the consent of the widows and her children must be sort. It is no longer by imposition or forceful tactics but by dialogue. This consent goes beyond property and land to the person of the widow. It means the Yindo can not have the widow as a wife as a right but through consent, that is through dialogue. No widow should again stand up here to say that she was being forced. If the Yindo claims his so call right over the widow by force that is rape. Rape is criminal and the widow should report the matter to the administration or State Council. The game of love is done through dialogue and negotiation and not by force. Let no man be found guilty of rape, because it a crime in the Cameroon penal code for which no man can escape penalties. It also means that the rights of a widow in a monogamous marriage are assured according to Cameroon law. The Yindo shall continue to play his role form a distance as a guardian or caretaker, leaving the widow and the orphans to continue to enjoy the rights they had in their compound when their father was still alive. These rights are guaranteed by the Cameroon Law and have been reinforced by the Maputo declaration, which our President endorsed into Law for Cameroon on the 28th May 2009. What has that protocol got to say about widows?
"Article 20
Widows' Rights
States Parties shall take appropriate legal measures to ensure that widows enjoy all human rights through the implementation of the following provisions:
a) That widows are not subjected to inhuman, humiliating or degrading treatment;
b) A widow shall automatically become the guardian and custodian of her children, after the death of her husband, unless this is contrary to the interests and the welfare of the children;
c) A widow shall have the right to remarry, and in that event, to marry the person of her choice.
Article 21
Right to Inheritance
1. A widow shall have the right to an equitable share in the inheritance of the property of her husband. A widow shall have the right to continue to live in the matrimonial house. In case of remarriage, she shall retain this right if the house belongs to her or she has inherited it.
2. Women and men shall have the right to inherit, in equitable shares"
Even though Our Bishops reacted negatively to what this Protocol says on the reproductive rights of women, the whole tenure of the Protocol is to protect of women from the inhumane practices of men. Cameroon is signatory to this declaration. That means it applies to Cameroonians and the judiciary must use it to protect the abuses of the rights of women, where ever this is to be found. We still have to digest this in Kom and other tribes that indulge to the maltreatment of widows and orphans after the death of her husband
All Yindos must recognize the fact that all Cameroonians live under Cameroonian laws and not under traditional laws especially when these traditional laws are repugnant or contrary or contradict the Cameroon laws. There is only one law system in Cameroon, the laws of the State.
It is also the same situation with the Church, where traditional laws and church laws or gospel values are opposed to each other; the laws of the Church take precedence. It is good also for us to realize that tradition is made by man and can be changed by man. Traditional laws are an accumulation of customs that have been found worthy of the common good of all living under that tradition. If tomorrow it is seen that some traditions are obstacles to the growth and development of the people the Kwifon and Fon who enacted the tradition can amend or change or even abrogate them. This is what is also done with the Constitutions of any State. Amendments and sometimes changes are meant for the common good of the people. When we come to Church law called Cannon law which spells out the conduct of the moral, discipline, spiritual, and liturgical lives of its members and the rights of every one in the Church, it has been changed several times over the years for the common good of all the Christians.
Tradition is made by man and can be changed by man. This is the normal way by which any society improves on its own standards of growing, developing and regulating better relationship between persons in the society. The church wishes her ministers to oppose all forms of discrimination and abuse of the rights women, orphans and the rights of any persons marginalized in the society. The Church has always and everywhere advocated the preferential option for the voiceless of society. To do other wise would be to betray the cause of Christ and contradict the gospel message.( Luke 4:18) No minister of Christ worthy of his stature can afford to sit and watch practices carried out against the Gospel values and against what the church preaches and be mute. She also says that in this matter of discrimination against women, the women must be the first to lead the fight for their own liberations 'If anyone has to work to advance the dignity of women in the Church and society, it is the women themselves who must see it as their responsibility' (This is the Laity No 49).
The Kom woman must stand up firm before psychological torture and defy cultural intimidation of all sorts. The liberty of the widows and orphans would not come on a platter of gold from a male chauvinistic society which thinks that their rights are being threatened or who take women just as part of the furniture in their homes. In today's society women are more worth than that. Some of them have been Senior District officers, Delegates, Directors, Ministers, Prime Ministers and others even Presidents of States. The education of the girl child is being taken seriously in our present day society by parents who see the girl more capable of being their retirement benefits. And indeed they have been up to the task even in Komland. For this we duff our caps to them.
One must also admit that the Kom Fondom has been one of those Fondoms in the North West Region that listens to her people and makes life better for them. We Thank God for that.
Long live Kom Fondom, Long live the Church and long live The Republic of Cameroon.

It's heart-breaking and infuriating that, for the first time, we are being forced to turn women away from our rape counselling services.
We know that reported rapes have increased in London by a shocking 20% over the last year. On average 11 women are raped or sexually assaulted every week in every London borough. But the funding we receive to provide our services is dwindling. It just doesn't add up.
We have now had to close counselling waiting lists as the average waiting time is already 12 months in many London boroughs. Imagine having to wait a year or more after you've been assaulted, living day in day out with fear and flashbacks, before you get to see a specialist who can help you process horrific trauma and move forward. Every women is unique and each counselling journey is tailored to her own needs. One woman who had experience sexual violence and managed to get counselling with Solace said:
"Facing your past, head on, is very hard – especially when the memories are so painful. The memories can eat you up inside and it's hard to break away. Without counselling, the distress would have consumed me totally."
It's heart-breaking because we know the courage it takes to pick up the phone and ask for help to cope and recover from sexual assault and rape. Women tell us about the life-changing effects of counselling that allow them to continue living; no longer being consumed by what happened, but finding freedom again. One of the women we supported summed it up:
"In my final year of university my world stopped I was brutally and horrifically sexually assaulted. Solace is a charity who helped save me from drowning in an unspoken world, a lonely dreadful place."
It's Infuriating because with more funding we could help put an end to women suffering in silence. The tide is certainly turning and powerful campaigns and movements are giving women a voice and the confidence to come forward. Of course naming what has happened is a huge step, but then what? Speaking out, whether that's by reporting to the police, sharing it with a friend or family member or joining in a campaign like #Metoo, often leads women to seek specialist 1-1 support.
Solace already has 15 specialist sexual violence therapists, and provides 3000 hours of rape counselling over the year. We're seeing more than 650 women for counselling a year, but there are so many more women on our waiting list – at this very moment we have 170 women waiting for that call to say they can start their counselling. Self-harm, enduring mental and physical health problems, and even suicide is not uncommon among women who haven't had help after experience sexual violence.
"I came to Solace completely frozen in time, dead on the inside like a lifeless doll. Week after week a little bit of me came back to life."
We refuse to wait, sit by and tell women that the support isn't there for them – it's unacceptable and dangerous. But we can't do it on our own. That's why we've launched 'Stand Together with Naomi'.
Naomi represents the survivors who use our life-saving services every day. Naomi was raped by a colleague after an away day company party. Like so many women she didn't tell anyone at the time because everyone had been drinking; she told herself no one would believe her, that it "wasn't that bad". The man that raped her was in a more senior role so she feared the repercussions to her career. It soon became clear to Naomi that she wasn't coping and found herself unable to focus, feeling anxious and fearful and was drinking more and more to blot out what had happened. She decided not to report the assault to the police but knew she needed to talk to someone and get help. She was able to access counselling and confront the emotional pain she was experiencing, as well as understand how she responded to the trauma and the silence that surrounded the attack.
Naomi found Solace and got the help she needed to heal. But many women don't.
We aim to raise £50,000 so we don't have to turn another woman away.

Liverpool Rival Arsenal, Chelsea And Man Utd In Race To Sign €60m Barcelona Star
Goonersden brings you news from top football news sites from the likes of ESPN, SkySport, Daily Mail, Daily Star and Metro… We also Analyse football, player, transfer and predict Arsenal starting line-up.
Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea have all been linked with a summer move for Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele, but fresh reports suggest a fourth Premier League side are interested in the Frenchman.
According to Spanish source Don Balon, Liverpool are monitoring Dembele's situation at Barcelona with a view to making a summer bid.
Liverpool are wary that Mohamed Salah could be tempted away by Real Madrid this summer and have identified Dembele as a possible replacement for the Egyptian who has 28 goals in his debut Premier League season with the Reds.
Don Balon has suggested that Barcelona would be ready to sell Dembele this summer after having netted just once in 16 appearances following his £110m move from Borussia Dortmund, but as of yet, no club is ready to go above €60m for the former Rennes star.
The 20-year-old attacker still has great potential but could arguably deal with a change of scenery to realise it.
Arsenal are hopeful of signing Dembele so that he can link up with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at the Emirates, but interest from Manchester United, Chelsea and now Liverpool has made doing so significantly tougher.

Intracranial tuberculoma - MRI brain
Recent onset of seizures.
Patient Data
Loading images...
Loading Stack -
0 images remaining
MRI demonstrates a 2cm rounded lesion in the anterior pole of the left frontal lobe. The lesion is mostly isointense to grey matter, with perhaps small regions of hyperintensity on T1 and T2 weighted images. Of note, there is no well defined central region of T2 hyperintensity. Very extensive vasogenic edema is present extending back to the precentral region. ADC demonstrates increased values centrally, making a conventional bacterial abscess unlikely.
Following administration of contrast the lesion enhances relatively homogeneously.
Case Discussion
The vast amount of edema, lack of central liquefaction / restriction and knowledge of the patient's demographics (the patient lives in India) makes a tuberculoma the most likely diagnosis (subsequently confirmed).
