Skin-to-Skin Love for Your Newborn9 Feb
We love educating women on the benefits of midwifery care. In pursuit of that goal, I encourage you to read this blog in our series from midwife (and guest blogger), Lincey Knox LM, CPM of Heartstrings Midwifery.
Those first few moments after the arrival of your new baby are so important for both mother and baby. This is true not just medically, but emotionally and physically as well. Skin to skin love is not something only the mother can provide – in fact, the bonding between baby and father through skin-to-skin care is also vitally important to the process. Through these first snuggles, a newborn learns the scent of mother and father, learns to feel safe, helps establish breastfeeding, aids in the newborn's transition to living outside the womb, and keeps him- or herself warm.
A newborn survives off of its instincts and reflexes during the first few weeks of life. Its greatest senses are those of smell, touch, and hearing. With skin-to-skin contact a new baby is able to utilize these three senses as (s)he can smell mother's scent, touch mother's skin, and hear mother's heartbeat – the same sound that has been lulling baby to sleep for the past nine months.
"There are now a multitude of studies that show that mothers and babies should be together, skin to skin immediately after birth, as well as later. The baby is happier, the baby's temperature is more stable and more normal, the baby's heart and breathing rates are more stable and more normal, and the baby's blood sugar is more elevated."
Immediate skin-to-skin contact between newborn and mother should be standard of care for all deliveries. Even in the situation where a cesarean delivery is necessary, many obstetricians are beginning to facilitate skin-to-skin between mother and baby in the operating room, as its importance is recognized more and more. Hopefully this practice will continue as more care providers recognize the bonds that are formed during these precious first moments.

Invisible Documentary Viewing19 Aug
In one of the most genius ideas of the summer, our D Moms Daily wellness expert Dr. Kate Naumes, ND has launched a monthly documentary viewing series at her office on the Katy Trail.
The next viewing takes place this Saturday, August 24 at 6 p.m. featuring Invisible, filmmaker Roz Mortimer's beautiful and thought-provoking film that follows Inuit mothers and the challenges they face as harmful chemicals from their food begin to surface in their breast milk.
Space for the viewing is limited, so be sure to RSVP to firstname.lastname@example.com if you're planning to attend!
Dr. Naumes Talks Breast Feeding5 Mar
This week, I'm finishing up our closeness series talking about a kind of intimacy with which many moms will be very familiar – the intimacy of breast feeding. There is overwhelming evidence that breast milk is the best food for your newborn. Unfortunately, not all moms can produce just the right amount of milk for their baby. Some women make more milk than they need, while others don't make enough.
If you are looking to increase breast milk production the following may be your first steps:
- Get a good hospital grade pump (I like the Medela Symphony 2.0)
- Sleep with your new baby at night
- Stay hydrated
- Decrease your stress
- Hire a lactation consultant or ND-midwife experienced in lactation support
- Speak with someone knowledgeable about appropriate milk augmenting herbs
If you find that the above simply doesn't generate enough milk for your baby (in spite of your best efforts) consider alternatives to organic formula like milk banks and milk sharing. I'm not anti-formula in any and every situation — I just want you to know there are options!

Demystifying the Doula28 Nov
As a naturopathic doctor having also received training as a midwife, I frequently discuss birth options with my newly pregnant clients. Should I have a home birth, birth center birth, hospital birth? Should I use a certified professional midwife (CPM), a certified nurse midwife (CNM), or an M.D.? No matter what you choose, I recommend that you have a doula at your birth.
A doula, as it pertains to childbirth, is a woman trained and experienced in childbirth who provides continuous physical, emotional, and some informational support to the mother before, during, and right after labor.
Let's cut to the chase. Doulas of North America (DONA) International reminds us of the following facts:
Numerous clinical studies have found that a doula's presence at birth:
- tends to result in shorter labors with fewer complications.
- reduces negative feelings about one's childbirth experience.
- reduces the need for pitocin (a labor-inducing drug), forceps or vacuum extraction and cesareans.
- reduces the mother's request for pain medication and/or epidurals.
Research shows parents who receive support can:
- feel more secure and cared for.
- are more successful in adapting to new family dynamics.
- have greater success with breastfeeding.
- have greater self-confidence.
- have less postpartum depression.
- have lower incidence of abuse.

Fertility 101 in the Oak Cliff Advocate29 Sep
CORRECTION: Class actually begins November 15th!
"The ladies at Oil and Cotton Creative Exchange have announced a fall schedule that includes the usual suspects — bookbinding, watercolor painting, photography, silkscreen — as well as a not-so-usual offering: "Preconception and Fertility Optimization" with Dr. Kate Naumes. "There is nothing quite like it available in Dallas," Oil and Cotton's Shannon Driscoll says of the class. The seven-week series, which began Sept. 27, is the second time Oil and Cotton has touched on the subject. "We tested the idea this spring with five couples, and it was extremely successful," Driscoll says. Naumes is a naturopath, midwife and primary care physician with a special interest in women's and children's health, and the class is for those interested in learning how to enhance their health in preparation for optimal fertility. Naumes suggested the class to Oil and Cotton with the idea of exploring a question each week through art. "I needed help developing and facilitating the art component of each class and thought, 'Who better than Oil and Cotton?' " Naumes says. She teaches how to protect oneself from exposure to substances in the environment that can decrease fertility and harm a developing baby, and the class is meant to be an opportunity to meet other Oak Cliff and Dallas couples with similar hopes and fears."

The Mark of a Supermom17 May
"Mothers of twins do not just get twice the bundle of joy—they are also healthier than other mothers… according to Shannen Robson and Ken Smith, of the University of Utah…. Although all women face a trade-off between the resources their bodies allocate to reproduction and those reserved for the maintenance of health, robust women can afford more of both than frail ones. And what surer way to signal robustness than by bearing more than one child at a time? In other words, the two researchers conjectured, the mothers of twins will not only display greater overall reproductive success, they will also be healthier than those who give birth only to singletons." – Read the rest of the article at The Economist

Got Milk?2 Feb
I am beginning to emerge from my very warm, very loving mother cave and wanted to share a few things that I've learned in the last few months.
Not all moms produce just the right amount of milk for their baby. While most do, some women make more milk than they need and some not enough. At the play group, we talk about it and it seems that most moms make the right amount but that there are always a few over producers and a few under producers.
It seems that low producing moms all agree that having a good hospital grade pump (ex: Medella's Symphony 2.0), sleeping with baby at night and milk augmenting herbs are all great tools for increasing milk production.
I wanted to talk a little about moms helping moms. If you make a lot of milk, consider donating to low producing moms (or mothers of adopted babies), and if you don't make enough milk (in spite of your best efforts) consider alternatives to formula like milk banks and milk sharing.
Milk banks are an incredibly valuable resource. However the cost of milk (around $4/oz I've found) can be quite expensive. Insurance, if it pays at all, will only pay in the case of a very short list of medical conditions
Mother's Milk Bank Austin
Mother's Milk Bank of North Texas
Milk sharing is a far more efficient, far more environmentally friendly, and a far less costly means of obtaining human milk for your baby. It can be harder to set up though; some communities have milk share groups or message boards, but most milk sharing happens informally among friends.
I can help you maximize breast milk production. Your body is very smart. There is no milk better for your baby than your own milk. I want to help you make the most milk you can for you child. Schedule an appointment to find out what you can do to increase your supply weather you have had a breast reduction, have gone back to work, or are pregnant and want to continue nursing your other baby. If you are currently taking medications that are not compatible with breast feeding, there may be natural solutions that don't interfere with your ability to make safe milk for your baby. I hope to hear from you soon.
Nursing in Public19 May
Ah, junk mail! I was looking through a catalog for new baby gear and came across a "nursing cover". It describes the product: "Nurse privately even in public! This stylish nursing cover is contoured and generously sized to fit securely around mom and baby for hands-free nursing coverage" $36.
I'm saddened at the cultural constraints placed on breastfeeding women in the Western world. Breast-feeding without a nursing cover is more comfortable, more intimate, and less expensive. I think one reason we are encouraged to cover our breasts while feeding is that our culture is uncomfortable with the duality of women's breasts as both sexual body parts and body parts that provide nourishment to our babies.

Switch Account
Approximately 9 weeks ago I received a call that someone was trying to add two ipads to my account that were not authorized. After that I started to receive text messages from Verizon about not being able to send messages to an email account that wasn't mine. When I received my bill for November, my wireless account was changed unknowingly to me. The customer service representative I spoke with change the account back to what I originally had and told me a credit would be applied to my account. The next day I received a message that the one account was over the data usage for the month and this line has never exceeded the data for a month, so I called yet again, this time the representative credited me for the over amount as the overage was caused by the unauthorized changes to the account. Now, I received my December bill over the weekend and noticed that the credit was not applied to my account, so I called customer service yesterday. I was told that the credit is now being processed and will be on my NEXT bill and that they didn't know why the fraud department didn't follow up with me, so I asked to speak to a manager. The representative wanted to know why I wanted to speak with a manager because the manager would just tell me the same thing, so as I was waiting 10+ minutes for the manager, I had a call beep in that I needed to take and was disconnected from my original call. I called back and got another representative, I explained that I was on hold waiting for a manager and had to disconnect the call. The representative was very hesitant to get a manager on the line, and I was again put on hold for several minutes, the same representative came back on the line and told me the manager looked over my account and the amount to be credited will be less than the original amount I was told I'd be credited a month prior. I asked AGAIN to speak with the manager and was put on hold again just for the representative to come back on the line to tell me that they would credit me the original amount I was told a month prior. I asked again to speak to the manager and I was told that they were "busy". I found that very disturbing for a customer service representative to tell me the manager was too "busy" to speak with a customer. I was placed on hold again waiting for the manager and when the manager finally came on the line, she was unprofessional, spit back what was told to me, told me that she was helping other people and that it was the Monday before Christmas. I have NEVER been treated so disrespectfully as I was on this call and makes me think of taking my business elsewhere.

Many of us would already have a New Year resolution in mind which is to lose weight. We will look out for solutions/ shortcuts which can reduce our weight without disturbing our existing schedule. So, what is the best way to do so?
Many people tend to give you advice on how to lose weight faster without even knowing the reality. In this article, we will look at those "myths" associated with weight loss and will make you aware if those are actually true or not!
Myth 1: Not eating anything/starving will help in losing weight
Fact: There are least chances of losing weight when you eat less or starve. Instead, it can have a negative effect on the body and can also lead to longer term weight gain. This kind of diet is really hard to maintain and when you come back to regular diet, you will eat more than you eat, thus causing weight gain. Instead of starving, eat healthy food like soya chips, fruit chat, chana etc.
Myth 2: Exercise is the only way to lose weight.
Fact: There are a number of things you can do to lose weight apart from doing exercise. You can try to eat the food slowly which will further decrease the food intake. Eating lot of proteins has powerful effects on appetite. It will increase the feeling of fullness and you will eat less.
Myth 3: Carbohydrates increase your weight, avoid them.
Fact: Yes, Carbohydrates increase your weight, but their consumption is necessary since they provide you the energy for the whole day. Choosing the right carbs is important. If you are eating processed carbs like maida, then you are making a wrong decision since it can increase your weight but if you are eating complex carbs such as daliya then you are on right track.
Myth 4: Drinking a lot of water helps in reducing weight.
Fact: Water doesn't help you in reducing the weight; rather it always gives you feeling of a full stomach. There is no doubt that water is good for health but saying that drinking water can reduce the weight is wrong.

Spring Fever
Now that Father Winter is finally starting to loosen his hold over the northern hemisphere and Lady Spring is waking up…there is one thing, regarding the safety of your pets, you need to be on the lookout for. That is the residue from the salt and chemicals that have been used to treat our roads and sidewalks.
When the weather starts warming up, more and more people are out and about walking their dogs. They walk through those chemicals and then lick their paws to clean them when they get home, thereby ingesting them, which can cause a fatal reaction. You may not use dangerous chemicals at your home, but that doesn't mean you don't drive through it. Salt, deicer solution, anti-freeze are just a few of the chemicals that are on the roads in the winter.
How can you help? The best thing I have found is to keep a squirt bottle with water and paper towels near the door. You can train your pet to sit on a mat by the door while you clean their paws. Of course you can also try avoid walking your pet through these chemicals, but when the snow melts and turns to water, it washes these chemicals into the path of your pet, so it's not so easy to avoid.
You could also put boots on your pet. :) Also, don't let your pet drink from puddles while you are out and about. This is a sure fire way for your pet to ingest these dangerous chemicals. They can be fatal.
If you think your pet may have ingested any of these chemicals take your pet to the vet immediately. You can also contact the ASPCA Poison Control Center at 888-426-4435.
Another thing to be aware of are the potential parasites that come back to life as it warms up. Fleas and ticks are the obvious pests, but internal parasites can also wreak havoc.
Take the time to clean up any wildlife feces in your yard so that your pet doesn't eat it. I can tell you from experience that we had to avoid one park in particular when we would walk Mirage. She though goose poop was the bomb. And of course frozen feces is like a pop-sickle treat to your pets.
Watch out when planting your spring flowers as well. Some plants are toxic to your pets. Never ever use Coco Mulch if you have pets. The mulch contains the same toxins found in chocolate. Make sure the plant food, herbicides, and pesticides you use are pet friendly. If you must fertilize your lawn, keep your pet off of it for 24 hours. Personally I prefer you not use them, but if you must it's safer to wait until you have a good rain and it dries so the chemicals can soak into the ground.
Spring is also a time when many female animals go into heat. This can cause tension in even altered male dogs. Keep this in mind when walking your pet and avoid strange dogs. Even the most mild-mannered pet can react when another dog is in heat. Of course the best way to avoid this is to spay and neuter your pet, but you can't control what your neighbors do or do not do. Just be safe when walking your pet when other animals are around.
Take the appropriate steps to insure the safety of you and your pets as Lady Spring wakes up and blossoms. After this winter I think I might just have to go overboard with the flowers this year to make up for it. J

Dazed and Confused
So I was sitting in the living room watching the newest member of our pack, Brandy, try to get the other dogs to play with her. Brandy is a pup who has not had much interaction with other dogs. She belonged to a senior citizen who took her for walks, but they were pretty much home bodies. Sitting here watching her I wish I could understand what she was thinking.
She obviously misses her owner. After being with us a week now she is finally starting to lose that dazed look on her face. Fellow rescuers will know the face I mean. Dogs who are not very social or aren't used to change get this clouded dazed look on their face. You can just tell they are not adjusting well to the change taking place in their lives.
Brandy had been removed from her home, taken to the Chicago Animal Control, then saved by a fellow rescuer and taken to a vet's office. She stayed at the vet's office for about 8 days before going to 3 different foster homes. All this in the three weeks it took for us to be able to drive to DeKalb to pick her up.
She is a super sweet dog and was gentle and friendly with anyone she met, but she was in a state of shock and was not connecting to anyone or anything. As if she was thinking 'Hello, nice to meet you, now where's my dad?' You could see she was trying to determine what was coming next. The whole time we were driving home with her she was looking out the back window as if to say 'Hey…my house is that way'.
Brandy has been with us a little over a week now. The first day my husband was able to take her on a tour of the yard, all she did was look for a way out of the yard. She was friendly, but really didn't want to get attached. As a foster child who bounced around from home to home and from school to school, I can relate to what she is feeling. It's like she is just waiting for the next blow. Once she gets settled in here and starts to feel at home, will she be yanked away and taken somewhere else?
The last couple days I have seen the dazed look leaving her face and her attempting to get us and the other dogs to play with her. She isn't quite sure how to instigate play time, so she will sit in front of her ball or in front of one of the other dogs and start barking. Just one bark…a pause…then another bark. The first few times she did this I didn't know what she wanted. I thought maybe she had to go potty, so I would take her outside. Then when we came in she would sit and bark again.
Finally I noticed this little green ball that none of the other dogs have played with sitting in front of her and she was looking at it barking. I picked it up and asked her if this is what she wanted. She actually got a smile on her face and barked again. When I tossed it up in the air she chased it and brought it back, laying it at my feet, and barked again. Then yesterday she was sitting in front of my husband's recliner barking at Winter. I think she was trying to get Winter to play with her. Then again later in the afternoon, she did the same with Elke. Elke laid there having a discussion about it with her.
To me, this is a good sign. It means that Brandy is starting to settle in. Still can't trust her in the yard off leash. Won't do that till she comes back when we call her, but at least she is starting to feel like our home is her home. I'll keep you updated on her progress.

World Spay Day
Today (February 25th) is World Spay Day. This is an international day of awareness to urge folks to have their pets spayed or neutered.
Now most of us have heard the story that one female cat and her offspring can produce over 420,000 cats in seven years. HUGE number right? Let's get realistic. This number is estimating that all the cats born survive and that at least 50% of them are female. Realistically, looking at mortality rates and what not, that number is more like 400 cats in seven years. That is still a big number considering the number of pets that are killed in shelters every year from being unwanted.
No matter what the actual number is, with all the unwanted pets dying every day in shelters across the world, you need to have you pet spayed or neutered. Now don't give me this crock where you want your child to experience the wonder of live birth. Nowadays you can find YouTube videos that will give you graphic detail. You can also take your children to the shelter so they can see first-hand what happens to those cute little kittens and puppies that no one wants once their own kids did experience that wonder.
If you can't afford to have your pet spayed or neutered there are plenty of programs out there that will assist you. Low-cost or even free in some cases. Here is a link to Animal Rescue League of Iowa's spay/neuter programs. Heck, just do a Google search for Low Cost Spay Clinic. I had 344,000 results come up. There is no excuse for not being a responsible pet owner.
Why should you have your pet spayed/neutered? It's not just because of all the unwanted pets that die every day…that's just one reason. There are also health reasons, behavioral issues, and reduced costs in the long run. Spayed and neutered pets are cheaper to care for in the long run. The Humane Society of the United States gives some excellent reasons.
Remember that if you are looking for a new pet to add to your family, Adopt, don't Shop. Go to your local animal shelter or rescue and save a life in need.

Iowa Lobby Day for Dogs
WARNING, some of the photos in this blog are graphic, but I think they are necessary to understand why this topic is important.
So today I would like to talk about some legislative issues that will affect rescues, shelters, commercial breeders, and kennels in the state of Iowa. One of my interests is lobbying at the Iowa State Capital for animal rights. This past Tuesday, February 18th was Lobby Day for the Dogs. One of the bills of interest to me is this one. SF 2166 - Care of Animals in Commercial Facilities. It is a bill that was introduced by Senator Matt McCoy. This bill will help give all animals in Iowa humane care and treatment and will strengthen the penalties for animal abuse. Specifically, it would revise the laws regarding licensure, fees, standards of care and enforcement of shelters, pounds, kennels, breeders, dealers, etc. caring for companion animals, including establishing a remediation fund to be funded by animal shelters and commercial breeders and dealers.
On Tuesday this bill passed a subcommittee and the full Commerce Committee. This is an amazing step forward to get this bill passed. What I like about this bill is that my rescue will then be licensed as a Shelter. Right now we are licensed as a Dealer. Our rescue was the first breed specific rescue to seek licensing in the state of Iowa and they really didn't know what to do with us. Because we were breed specific, we didn't fit the requirements for a shelter. With the passing of this bill that will change.
I'm going to be blunt…the purpose of this bill is to tighten regulations for Commercial Breeders (Puppy Mills). There are too many animals that die in shelters every day. Commercial Breeders are not breeding for the betterment of the breed, but for money. Period. Every time a movie comes out with a dog as the star, commercial breeders start breeding puppies of that breed to send to pet stores because people want that dog. Then when the love affair is over the dog winds up abandoned on the street or in a shelter. Animal rescuers cringe every time a movie starring a dog comes out.
Then there are the 'designer breeds' or Mutts. Cockapoo, Goldendoodle, and Puggles, to name a few…all of them are mutts, yet commercial breeders make thousands for every puppy. And the dogs in their facilities are used for as long as they can breed. Once they are done they are auctioned off or dumped in shelters or even killed.
Now I have nothing against these dogs. I love all animals. My problem is the people who breed them and the conditions these pets are kept in to breed puppies to make money for the owners. Most true breeders, who breed for the betterment of the breed, will only breed their dogs once a year or once every two years. Dogs in commercial breeders are expected to produce puppies every time they go into heat or they are discarded. Most dogs go into heat 4 times a year. Now imagine you or your spouse having a baby every 9 months for as long as you can breed. Commercial breeders don't care about genetic or hereditary problems a specific breed carries. Often times the dogs are inbred which makes these problems worse.
My own beloved Mirage was a product of a puppy mill. We rescued her from a pet store that was about to send her back to the breeder because she had been there for almost 8 months. She had severe hip deformity, yet was going to be sent back to the breeder to breed more puppies. She lived a very long happy life with us and was the matriarch of our rescue until she passed away on 1/11/12.
Ok…I'll get off my soap box now.
One of my reasons for writing this blog is, hopefully to educate my readers and teach you that you can make a difference, but also to ask my Iowa readers to contact your legislators and ask them to pass this bill…without any significant changes. The main goal of this bill is for commercial breeders to start treating their animals humanely. IF they must breed, treat the animals like the sentient beings they are.
You really do make a difference. When I first started lobbying for animal rights there were over 450 commercial breeders (puppy mills) in Iowa. Now there are fewer than 250. The photos throughout this blog are the conditions we are trying to stop. No sentient being deserves to live like this. So please take the time to contact your legislators to stop this abuse.
Be Well & Be Happy,Pet~Pourri
All photos in this blog (except the one of Mirage & the Iowa State Capital) came from Iowa Voters for Companion Animals.

On February 1st 2016 I launched, "The Andrew Carrington Hitchcock Show," with both enthusiasm and trepidation.
Having listened to alternative media for the last 15 years, I wanted to have a go at broadcasting what I enjoyed listening to most, a short one hour show with a guest.
I wanted to define the show with a title, not just the name of the guest, as I wanted the listeners to know what content they would be getting from the show, so they could decide on that basis whether or not they were interested in listening to it. I wanted the show to be subject not current affairs based, so the shows would be relevant whether they were listened to live on the day they were broadcast, or several years later. Finally I decided to pre-record the show, so as to prevent potential technical difficulties that cannot be avoided if you go out live.
I chose to record five shows a week, running Monday through Friday, and set myself the target of interviewing 50 unique guests in my first year as I felt that was something I was unlikely to achieve. I actually ended up interviewing 85 different guests in my first year, and to be honest I find it difficult to comprehend I actually interviewed that many people, as the year flew past so quickly.
Whilst I set a target for the amount of guests I wished to have on, I didn't want just anybody, so I set a defined criteria that a guest on my show would need to satisfy. They would have to be wise to what is commonly known as the, "Jewish Question," which is whether or not the Jews have an inordinate influence on Western Society.
Now that we are at the end of my first year, I want to thank all my guests for giving up their time to be interviewed.
I want to thank Euro Folk Radio, The Barnes Review, and the American Free Press, for providing me with a page on their respective websites to post my shows.
I want to thank all the blog sites, YouTube channels, and individuals on social media that have posted my shows.
I want to thank all of you who have made a donation to help me keep my show on the air.
And I want to thank all of you, the listeners, for your unwavering support which has made all of my efforts worthwhile.
We all face challenges in our lives, indeed I have faced many in the last year, as I imagine all of you have, and I want to take this opportunity to make it abundantly clear that your fantastic support has helped me overcome them all.
Thank you,
Andrew Carrington Hitchcock

When buying protective film, we need to consider the course of quality, price and customer service. Firstly, the quality is the key, which requires the buyer must have an understanding of their own use of the products. Secondly, the price, protective film is mainly used in product packaging, cost savings is to see how to spend the least amount of money to buy the best goods. Finally, customer service, the use of protective film is quite a long time, so the protective film supplier customer service is an important factor for buyers to consider.
How to choose when you buy?
When purchasing protection film, we need to pay attention to the following:
1. we should choose stable quality, good after-sales service of protective film products.
2. we should observe the appearance of the protective film quality, including color, transparency, viscosity, and whether there are crystal dots and holes in the protective film.
3. we should check the protective film function is reliable, flexible.
4. after the test, it is necessary to estimate the shelf life of the protective film. If it is a temporary protective film, see whether the protective film is left with residual glue after it is torn off.

When Kaleidoscope writes on his lethargic self, he mentions about his wish to lengthen his infancy. However, he fails to address his privileged social selves. First Kaleidoscope is a male entitled to numerous privileges. Second, he belongs to "not so bad" material world as economics things are settled. Kaleidoscope worries about another room and not about a missing roof! Now he has a less challenging "descent" job.
This is a phase when Kaleidoscope thinks he will grow. But he sees something like this.
Kaleidoscope can visualise the blue infinity, but its beyond the STOP. This is not some reified situation which compels him to stop. This is his well known lethargic self, which he defines as stopergic. Its his lethargy which compels him to stop.
Kaleidoscope is trying to analyse a very rich, but considerably boring 3000 pages transcript. He is failing again and again. To legitimise his failure he keeps on deferring the process!!
He knows that its just a button he needs to press. Something like this
However, its just not happening. He wishes to see beyond the stop sign. But somehow for last one month its just not working.
As Kaleidoscope's economics is secured, he might not get enough kick from basics.
Kaleidoscope is kinda concerned!

How to identify 201 and 304 stainless steel?
The main difference of grade 201 and 304 is the chemical composition. Grade 304 has 8% Ni while grade 201 has 1~1.2% Ni, which make 304 have a better quality than 201 and more expensive. So how can we identify 201 and 304?
It is difficult to see the difference by our eyes, but we could use professional test liquid to identify. The color of the liquid is green, the different materials will cause difference chemical reaction and turns to different color.
The test is very simple. Clean the stainless steel surface and apply one drop of liquid on it.
The color of the liquid will turns to red within 3 minutes if it is 201 and the color will remains same as green if it is 304.

Following the recent wet weather, slugs and snails will be having a "field day" in your garden, and with the risk of frost almost over most areas of the UK should be safe to make their first application of nemaslug.
Nemaslug Slug Killer Tips:
Always put your Nemaslug / nematodes in the fridge as soon as they have been delivered.
If applying with a watering can make sure your watering can and rose is clean & clear of debris.
Don't forget that the air temperature is not the same as the soil temperature – visit our gardening weather section for the soil temperature in your area.
Before applying your nematodes, have a quick hunt around for slug hotspots and treat those areas with a little extra Nemaslug.
Apply your Nematodes at the end of the day just before sunset to reduce the risk of the nematodes "drying out" before they work into the soil.

Unpublished Paper
Rehabilitation of Illicit Behaviours in the Post-RTL Era: Disputes and ProposalsExpressO (2015)
AbstractHow to rehabilitate illicit behaviours that were subject to the re-education through labour system has been a topic of rigorous debate since the abolition of the system. Proposals brought forward so far can generally be categorised into a criminalisation approach and an administrative approach. This article asserts that the rehabilitation of these behaviours shall strictly observe principles of efficiency, transparency and fairness and proposes that the Legislature adopt the Law on Correction of Illicit Behaviour under pilot implementation to consign illicit behaviours that were subject to the re-education through labour system to a mixed decision-making procedure. This will constitute a wise use of current judicial resources and avoid such deficiencies as arbitrariness in the use of cruel treatment, the lack of an impartial decision-making party and deprival of freedom without judicial decision, for which the re-education through labour system had long been criticised.

ZURICH, July 30 (Reuters) - Swiss asset manager GAM Holding continues to review strategic options even after naming a new chief executive, outgoing CEO David Jacob told a conference call on Tuesday.
"The board in the past has said it would look at all strategic options to maximise shareholder value. That of course continues to be the case," he said in response to a question.
"The board will always be alert to what opportunities exist to maximise value for shareholders but as we also said at the same time management is very much focused on the business and getting the business back to strength and improved profitability."

Brooklyn Real Estate Six Months Later: Two Sold, One Still Available, One Off the Market
Another week, another look at four of our featured listings from six months ago. This week, we have homes in Park Slope, Clinton Hill, Prospect Heights and Bed Stuy. How did they fare?
First up, a grand brownstone that doesn't look a whole lot different than it did a century ago, give or take the kitchens and baths. Built in 1903 by architect Benjamin Driesler, it's a Renaissance Revival with a bowed front bay at 616 2nd Street, in the Park Slope Historic District and half a block from Prospect Park. This former House of the Day is still on the market for the asking price of $3.9 million.
After that, we have a condo with uncommon grandeur and a distinctive address. It occupies the parlor and garden floors of an 1882 Neo Grec mansion on Clinton Hill's Mansion Row, at 313 Clinton Avenue, written up here as a Building of the Day. This former Condo of the Day sold in May for $2.75 million, which was $100,000 above the asking price.
Then we have a Renaissance Revival brownstone in Prospect Heights that has a load of original detail in prime condition and a good deal of charm. Built by the prolific developer William H. Reynolds circa 1894, it's at 301 Park Place, in the Prospect Heights Historic District. This former House of the Day did not sell and is currently off the market.
Last up, a 19th-century brick Italianate on Park Avenue in Bed Stuy. This one likewise needs updating throughout, and likewise has some detail, though significantly less: a marble mantel, an original staircase. There's some vintage wallpaper as well, though it's not anything you're likely to want to hold onto. It's a three-story with a rental on the garden level and a three-bedroom, one-bath duplex above. This former Open House Pick sold in July for $875,000, which was $123,000 below the asking price.

Litigation is not the only way to resolve family law disputes. In addition to Mediation, Negotiation and the Collaborative Law Process, Arbitration may also be an effective way to settle family law matters privately and outside of court.
Arbitration is a requested and mutually agreed upon meeting where each party is represented by an attorney. Each attorney presents to the arbitrator at the arbitration hearing his or her client's case and requests a ruling on the issues at hand. The arbitrator then makes a decision regarding the issues presented. In essence, it is a private trial and usually has the same formality of a court proceeding.
Unless the parties agree otherwise, a single arbitrator is chosen by the parties to arbitrate all issues in dispute. The arbitrator may hear and rule with regard to the evidence produced even if one of the parties fails to appear. Arbitration may be binding or non-binding depending upon the agreement of the parties. A court cannot typically order you to participate in a binding arbitration.

An Adventure to the Northland
Editor's Note: Our good friend Lizzie Garrett Mettler is the founder of Tomboy Style, one of our favorite places to get inspired. She's currently adventuring through New Zealand exploring the North Island, and has collected some of her impressions of this beautiful place exclusively for Huckberry.
When most people think about the natural beauty of New Zealand, they're likely referencing the South Island. "It's otherworldly," you'll hear. With snow-covered peaks, green hills, and miles and miles of breath-taking beach, it's not surprising why Peter Jackson chose to film The Hobbit and James Cameron chose to film Avatar in such wild natural country.
Indeed, the growing film industry has garnered Wellington, the country's capital and second largest city, the nickname Wellywood. There's even a little white sign near the airport replicating the Hollywood sign.
This August, I explored the northernmost part of the North Island, a four hour drive from Auckland. As I drove past small villages, sheep farms, and rolling green hills I thought of Scotland, Switzerland, and Northern California. It was some of the most beautiful country I'd witnessed and yet a local man told me I was touring the "ugliest part of the country."
Low clouds hung in valleys forming their own microclimates and giving way, with ease, to the great Pacific—which was seemingly visible from almost everywhere I looked. The ugliest part of New Zealand was possibly the most beautiful place I'd ever been.
The first thing you think of as you make your way into The Northland is green. Like a super-saturated, bright Kelly Green. Everything is alive and fresh with the color green. The second is pure.
New Zealand is one of the last large land masses to be settled by human beings and it's quickly apparent how natural the island nation still is. The air is clean and the land untamed.
But perhaps the most surprising natural fact about New Zealand is how the country has managed to keep so many predatory animals out. There are no poisonous spiders, no scorpions, and no snakes in the country. There are no bears, or crocodiles, or mountain lions either.
The customs authorities at the airport will even look underneath your shoes to make sure you're not bringing in any traces of exotic grass or soil. That careful scrutiny isn't lost on me. Anything that a hiker or backpacker may fear while traversing the backcountry is positively nonexistent in New Zealand.
This is not the case for their neighbors to the west; poisonous and dangerous creatures abound in Australia. I remembered the island's purity when I was meandering a path looking for a bathroom at five in the morning jet lagged and without a flashlight.
I grew fearful of what lurked in the darkness in unknown territory, but then I remembered where I was and had the most satisfying sigh of relief followed by a chuckle of laughter. Ah, yes, I'm in New Zealand, nothing can hurt me.
It is almost surreal in how wild yet tame it all is. Sheep farms and Black Angus ranches roll throughout the Northland onto bluffs and glens. In August some of the first lambs are born, they prance around their mothers and siblings learning to gallop on their new legs and graze on that green green grass.
Dirt roads roll over hills and down to beaches salmony pink from shells and charcoal grey from lava. Rainbows are constantly appearing because of the sun and mist, creating a world that is almost so beautiful you have to remember that it's not a hallucination. A hallucination in fact, may not be as wild and beautiful and colorful as New Zealand.
