In the middle-range theory of pain, there are multiple concepts incorporated in the theory. The two I will focus on are the balance between analgesia and side effects and non-pharmacological adjuvants.
The balance between analgesia and side effects
The balance between analgesia and side effects is defined as, "Patient satisfaction with relief of pain and relief or absence of side effects. (Peterson, Sandra J., Ph.D., RN et al., 2016, p. 52)". This concept applies to my current practice Because I constantly have to balance the effects of the medications that I give for comfort during procedures with their side effects and their effects on my patient's hemodynamics. Without balancing the effects of the analgesia and the medication side effects, there is the potential for harm to my patient.
Non-pharmacological Adjuvants
Nonpharmacological adjuvants are defined as, "Complementary nursing therapies: relaxation, music, imagery, massage, or cold for pain relief. (Peterson, Sandra J., Ph.D., RN et al., 2016, p. 52)" I use nonpharmacological adjuvants in my practice daily. Before each case, I ask my patients if they prefer music during the case as well as what their preferred genre or artist is. This allows the patient control over that aspect of their pain management and allows them to participate in their care.

Number 2 :
Watson's theory has four major concepts: human being, health, environment/society, and nursing. I will discuss two out of the four concepts.
Human being and Health
Watson theorizes that the human being is to be "a valued person in and of him or herself to be cared for, respected, nurtured, understood and assisted; in general a philosophical view of a person as a fully functional integrated self. The human is viewed as greater than and different from, the sum of his or her parts," (Petiprin, 2020).
Watson believes curing illness and pursuing health is paramount. However, we need to address it above just a physiological response. In order for health to best outcomes to be achieved, nurses must also take a holistic approach with patients. This involves focusing on a person's mind, body, and soul. She states that in order for healing to be effective, there needs to be a complete balance of a person's physical, cognitive, and spiritual self (Petiprin, 2020).
General reference:
Every human being is different. Each person embodies their own unique and unpredictable set of needs. The key is to identify, acknowledge, and appreciate these needs while providing care. In order to have the best outcome possible, individual humans deserve a caring and holistic approach that focuses on the mind, body, and soul. In order to achieve this, the nurse must be in tune with the patient thus providing what each variable requires (Mgbekem et al., 2016).
My clinical practice:
In my FNP role, I believe every human should be viewed not just by generalized presentation, but by their unique self. As I deal with my patients now and in the future, I understand that I need to meet them where they're at. I need to connect with them on their unique level and based on their humanness, not just my books, diagnosis codes, and protocols. I want to provide the best care possible. I will nurture them to be in control of their care and to educate them to make them aware of all necessary options. In aesthetics, many patients come in with body image disturbance, depression, and anxiety. I need to meet them where they are at and respect and connect with them as humans regarding their overall physical, mental, social, and spiritual concerns.

How to protect WhatsApp from third party access
WhatsApp is the easiest and most convenient messenger. This explains its incredible popularity around the world. However, when sharing information with friends, the user wants to be sure that his account is safe. Therefore, it will not be amiss to know in advance what to do if the Vatsap was hacked.
In order not to think about what to do if WhatsApp was hacked, you need to carry out preventive measures.
How to protect Vatsap from breaking and reading messages
Use two-step verification
Not so long ago, a two-factor authentication function appeared in the application, which allows you to protect the user's personal information from outsiders as much as possible.
To enable two-step verification:.
- Go to the application "Vatsap".
- In the "Settings" menu, find the item "Account".
- Select the "Two-step verification" function and enable it.
- The system will ask you to come up with an access code, which in the future will need to be entered when connecting a messenger to other devices.
- Enter your personal email address with which you can recover your WhatsApp password. Please note one point: within a week after turning on the function, the phone number cannot be confirmed without an access code. After 7 days, this feature will appear, but then all messages that are in standby mode will be deleted.
For additional protection of access to your WhatsApp account, it is recommended to activate a two-step verification.
In order to disable two-step verification, click on the appropriate button in the messenger settings.
Using pin
The most reliable and easiest way to protect WhatsApp correspondence is to lock the screen with a PIN code. This feature is available in almost all new-generation smartphones..
To unlock, enable or wake up the system, you will be required to enter a password or pattern.
There is a third option – a fingerprint. This solution is more reliable, but not available on all models..
Account setup
All messages in WhatsApp are protected by end-to-end encryption, the keys for which are in the settings of the messenger. With their help, the application encodes personal data and sends it to the interlocutor.
To crack Vatsap, attackers change keys to their own and read information.
In order for you to suspect something was wrong, do the following in your account settings:
- in the application go to the "Settings" menu;
- select "Accounts" and "Security";
- select "Show security notifications".
After that, the system will report every key change..
Hide photos and videos in the gallery
Not the most successful messenger function is to save received media files in the smartphone gallery. In order to hide them, you need to create a .nomedia file in the application folder, and then restart the gadget. This is done using a simple file manager.. Now photos and videos will not be available to a random viewer.
Deny access to whatsapp by a third-party application
An excellent protection for confidential information will be the installation of a PIN code on the application.
To do this, download a special program to your phone, for example, App Lock. With it, you can set a password for many applications, including WhatsApp.
One of the advantages of this program is that it photographs an attacker. This means that when you enter the wrong pin, the curious runs the risk of being exposed.
Security with WhatsApp Web Version
This version of the application is extremely easy to use. It is convenient to conduct and copy correspondence, do mailings to friends and relatives. You only need to read the QR code using the gadget. After that, all information will instantly be visible on the monitor screen..
To prevent WhatsApp from being hacked, you should install applications from trusted stores, but in this case, you should take some precautions:
- Check for disconnection before moving away from the monitor.
- Do not leave the unlocked phone near the computer and do not allow unauthorized persons to read the code and read private messages.
- Install new applications from trusted Apple and Google stores. Otherwise, malware can steal and send confidential information for the mercenary purposes of fraudsters..
The WhatsApp web version has one useful option that can help other people identify spying and reading emails. In order to use it, go to the messenger settings and select WhatsApp Web / Desktop.
A list of all active connections to the account appears. Click "Quit All Computers." Any third-party access to the page will be excluded..
Beware of fraudulent messages
WhatsApp has become so popular that dishonest people could not get around the application. Newsletters are constantly coming: raising funds for the treatment of a seriously ill child, shocking pseudo-news, nonexistent promotions, and much more. All these tricks are designed for gullible citizens and carry only selfish intent.
Recently, anti-cybercrime experts have identified a new type of fraud: attackers did newsletters on behalf of popular companies (Adidas, Rolex, Nescafe) in order to steal user confidential information.
The letter said that there is a free giveaway. The link led to a phishing site, which suggested entering a name, answering several questions and sharing information with thirty friends in the What's app.
The creators of the messenger do not recommend responding to letters from unknown senders, as well as clicking on the links contained in the messages. Even if you receive a message that the user's security code has changed, then you'll be careful and careful.
Lock a lost or stolen smartphone
Account deactivation
If the gadget is lost or stolen, you can contact the WhatsApp support service with a request to deactivate your account. To do this, write in the subject line: Lost / Stolen: Please deactivate my account and enter your phone number.
Lock lost Android and iOS at a distance
Find iPhone
Modern gadgets provide such an opportunity. IPhone users will be much easier to do than Android phone owners..
Apple has developed the "Find iPhone" program, with which the owner of the device can track his location from any computer using GPS and cellular data, then block the device or remotely delete all data.
Find Samsung
Samsung Android smartphones have a similar program called Find My Phone. In order to configure it, you need:
- create an account;
- check all items in the security settings;
- in the browser, register in the smartphone search service and confirm the registration.
Since then, the owner of the gadget can delete, save or download information from a distance, lock and unlock the device, use the internal camera to photograph the face of the attacker and even send a message to the lock screen.
Find other smartphones
Phone users from other manufacturers will have to find their own search software.
One of the most popular is Dr.Web anti-virus. There is an "Anti-theft" option in the service's settings, which allows you to track the device via GPS, lock the screen, set a confirmation code and reset the device to factory settings, as well as turn on a loud signal that will sound until the phone is turned on.
Android or iOS is not important. You can protect WhatsApp data from prying eyes, the main thing is to know how.

1. Status Of EEPRO100/S Support
15 Jun 2001 - 22 Jun 2001 (4 posts) Archive Link: "EEPRO100/S support"
Summary By Zack Brown
People: J. S. Peatfield, Tim Hockin
Tim Hockin asked about the EEPRO/100 S under Linux, and Kelledin Tane replied that Intel's drivers supported the card under Linux, and that they were GPLed. But J. S. Peatfield replied:
The e100 driver from intel claims to support these cards (the 100 S desktop adaptor, that is), but in fact the drivers lock up under heavy UDP load (at least they do for me in 2.2.19). It seems to only be a problem with these newer cards, the e100 is solid with older cards (and things like the 100VE which is onboard on many Easterns).
Intel are working on fixing the lockups, they thought it was related to the checksum offload though turning that off doesn't prevent the lockups. Version 1.66 is much more stable than 1.55a (1.55a would lockup after 60-80M of traffic on these cards), I'm awaiting the next version to see if they have nailed it.
The driver is not GPL (I don't know why it isn't) and doesn't support the encryption asic on baords which have it (and Intel seem unwilling to release details of this asic so others can write drivers to use it).
2. New Maintainer for Linux/PPC
17 Jun 2001 - 18 Jun 2001 (3 posts) Archive Link: "Linux/PPC maintainer changing"
Summary By Adam Buchbinder
Topics: Samba, Version Control
People: Cort Dougan, Paul Mackerras
Cort Dougan said:
Starting today, Paul Mackerras (firstname.lastname@example.com) is taking over as maintainer of the Linux/PPC 32-bit tree and will continue as the Linux/PPC 64-bit tree maintainer.
The stable and development trees (2.2 and 2.4) will be moving away from the FSMLabs ftp/rsync/BitKeeper repository to the vger.kernel.org CVS tree. Changes should continue to flow into the main tree available from kernel.org.
Paul followed up, "Cort has put in an enormous amount of time and effort into maintaining the PowerPC port of Linux over the past 5 or 6 years, and I for one would like to acknowledge that publicly and thank him for that. It has not always been an easy task, I know, because there are a wide range of opinions within the PPC/Linux camp and Cort has been the man on the spot to sort out the balance between the competing interests. And I for one will miss the time, effort and resources he has put into the infrastructure things such as the repository, web pages, ftp site etc." The port's home is at http://www.linuxppc.org.
3. Status Of VLAN Support
19 Jun 2001 - 22 Jun 2001 (20 posts) Archive Link: "VLAN in kernel?"
Summary By Zack Brown
Topics: Networking
People: Ben Greear, Dax Kelson, David S. Miller, Gleb Natapov
Holger Kiehl and others had been using Ben Greear patch to support VLAN virtual networking in the 2.4 kernel. He said there had been no problems with the patch for a long time, and asked why it had not been included in the Linus tree. Ben, the author of the patch, replied:
I have had a good discussion with Dave Miller today, and there is one outstanding issue to clear up before my 802.1Q VLAN patch may be considered for acceptance into the kernel:
Should VLANs be devices or some other thing?
I strongly feel that they should be devices for many reasons.
However, we need the community as a whole to agree more-or-less that my (and others who share them) arguments are sound. So please, bring your complaints fowards now...or forever patch by hand!
Also, any other complaints or suggestions for the VLAN code should be mentioned too, of course!
If you wish to view the patch, get the 1.0.1 release from my vlan page: http://scry.wanfear.com/~greear/vlan.html I will release a new one shortly with the fast-dev-lookup code (which is already #ifdef'd out) completely removed, as per Dave's wish.
A bunch of people lined up in support of treating VLANs as devices, and Dax Kelson put in, "Conceptually, VLANs as network devices is a no brainer." But David S. Miller replied, "Technical implementation level concerns need to be considered as well as "does it look nice"." Gleb Natapov argued, "How can I implement intermediate layer between L3 and L2 in the current kernel? This is what VLAN is all about. The only way to do it today is to pretend to be a network device for L3, do your job (adding VLAN header) and the job of L2 (build ethernet header) and queue packet to master device for transition. This is what ipip module does, this is what bonding module does and many others. And this is because L1 and L2 coupled too tightly together in the kernel now. In fact it is almost impossible to implement new L2 protocol without changing net_device structure. Something should be done about L1+L2 design till then pretend to be the net_device is the only solution if you want VLAN to be transparent for L3 protocols. If you want to implement VLANs only for IP layer this can be done differently of course."
There was no reply, but Ben replied that treating VLAN as a device had been "the easiest way to implement things. It allowed me to not have to touch any of layer 3, and I did not have to patch any user-space program like ip or ifconfig." He added, "I'm not even sure if the nay-sayers ever had another idea, they just didn't like having lots of interfaces. Originally, there were claims of inefficiency, but it seems that other than things like 'ip' and ifconfig, there are no serious performance problems I am aware of."
4. Gearing Up For 2.5
19 Jun 2001 - 21 Jun 2001 (14 posts) Archive Link: "Linux 2.2.20-pre4"
Summary By Zack Brown
People: Alan Cox
Alan Cox announce 2.2.20-pre4 and added, "Linux 2.2 is now firmly into maintainance state. Patches for neat new ideas belong in 2.4. Generally new drivers belong in 2.4 (possibly in 2.2 as well after 2.4 shows them stable). Expect me to be very picky on changes to the core code now."
5. Behavior Changes Between 2.2 And 2.4
19 Jun 2001 - 20 Jun 2001 (12 posts) Archive Link: "2.2 PATCH: check return from copy_*_user in fs/pipe.c"
Summary By Adam Buchbinder
People: Zack Weinberg, Andrew Tridgell, David S. Miller, Linus Torvalds
Zack Weinberg said, "The anonymous pipe code in 2.2 does not check the return value of copy_*_user. This can lead to silent loss of data." 2.4 did not have the bug, he said, as the relevant file had been completely rewritten. He posted the patch against 2.2.18 and higher, and reported that on his machine, it had been running since May 13 with no problems.
David S. Miller recalled that Andrew Tridgell had originally spotted this problem, but for some reason that David couldn't recall, they had agreed not to fix it. Andrew replied that Linus Torvalds had made the decision. Andrew said, "Linus didn't want to fix it in pipe.c until copy_from_user was fixed on all architectures" [...] "He didn't want us to fix just this one case and then forget about fixing the general case."
Zack also replied to David, asking why the bug had been fixed in 2.4 but not 2.2; in particular he asked, "Some sort of compatibility issue?" David replied cryptically, "No, some kind of "it doesn't matter" issue." Zack disagreed, saying that the change created a situation in which user-land code would behave differently under 2.2 than 2.4; but Linus replied:
Hey, I can demonstrate user code that behaves differently depending on what compiler options were used etc.
Hint: "undefined behaviour".
If somebody passes in a bad pointer to a system call, you've just invoced the rule of "the kernel _may_ be nice to you, but the kernel might just consider you a moron and tell you it worked".
There is no "lost data" or anything else. You've screwed yourself, and you threw the data away. Don't blame the kernel.
6. Microsoft And Source Licensing
20 Jun 2001 - 22 Jun 2001 (7 posts) Archive Link: "One more ZDNet article with BillG hammering Linux and Open Source."
Summary By Zack Brown
Topics: Microsoft
People: Bill Gates, Gerhard Mack, Miles Lane, Alexander Viro
Miles Lane gave a link to a Bill Gates interview in which Bill laid out his official stance on the GPL. Some folks joked about Bill saying, "I don't know that anyone has ever asked for the source code for Word. If they did, we would give it to them. But it's not a typical request." There were some "I'll take a copy, Bill" comments, until Gerhard Mack remarked, "Funny but by giving it to you they could really screw you when it comes to opensource work. If you think the GPL is viral you havn't seen "shared source".. at least the GPL only applies to derived works." And Miles said:
Here's the kicker. I went to Microsoft's site and tried to find a copy of their Shared Software License or some approximation thereof. All I found was a bunch of Craig Mundie's blathering and some critiques of the GPL:
How can we evaluate if there is any point in asking BillG for the Word source code if they won't even show us the blighted license? What I suspect is that there IS no "Shared Source License." And, even if there were, Microsoft doesn't want anyone to see it because that would allow a direct comparison with the GPL, LGPL and so on. Heaven forbid that apples should be compared to apples!
What they appear to have is a hodgepodge of different ways of "sharing" source code.
He gave a link to http://www.microsoft.com/BUSINESS/licensing/sscommitment.asp, which included brief descriptions of various licensing possibilities. Miles went on to give his interpretation of that page:
Microsoft figures out what rights it wants to allow each of these categories of developers/users and then incredibly restricts the freedom of anyone who sees their code to change, port or use the code in any way at all. My impression is that they are happy to have grad students look at the NT code, because they want really smart people to get used to using NT all the time and then graduate and go become Microsoft borgs.
What I imagine happens is that if you ask for source code, they decide whether they want to show it to you, then they make you sign away your life (such as freedom to work on any code vaguely like the code they're going to show you) and then they sue you into bankruptcy or out-of-court settlement if you breathe in a way they don't like.
Finally Alexander Viro said the whole subject was off topic, and the thread ended.
7. Linus Estimates 2 Weeks Before 2.5.0
21 Jun 2001 (13 posts) Archive Link: "correction: fs/buffer.c underlocking async pages"
Summary By Adam Buchbinder
People: Linus Torvalds
In the course of discussion, Linus Torvalds said about a proposed patch, "it does end up being a 2.5.x issue as far as I'm concerned (and don't worry, 2.5.x looks like it will open in a week or two, so we're not talking about long timeframes)."
8. Status Of GPIB Support
22 Jun 2001 - 25 Jun 2001 (5 posts) Archive Link: "GPIB support"
Summary By Zack Brown
People: Richard B. Johnson
Wan Hing Wah asked about GPIB support in Linux. He'd found a driver, but the latest version seemed to be from 1999, and he wondered if anything had been done more recently. Richard B. Johnson replied:
GPIB is terribly device-specific. What board do you intend to use? National Instruments has a so-called driver for their TNT4882 on their web-site. I was never able to get it to even compile, much less work.
I have a driver written for that chip. It's not GPLed, but it could be if there is enough interest. In any event, I could send you the source to try out. Just don't publish it yet. Let me know because I could use additional input for testing. In other words, if asked, I would just say that you are helping to test a driver...
9. Porting From 2.0/2.2 To 2.4
23 Jun 2001 - 26 Jun 2001 (7 posts) Archive Link: "Making a module 2.4 compatible"
Summary By Zack Brown
Topics: Backward Compatibility
People: Richard B. Johnson, Timur Tabi, James Lamanna, Jonathan Corbet
James Lamanna had a 2.0/2.2 module that had been developed by a company that was no longer in business, and he wanted to port it to 2.4; he had all the sources, but just wondered if any documentation existed on the various porting issues existing between earlier versions and 2.4.
Timur Tabi suspected there was no such document, but Richard B. Johnson attempted:
As a start:
wait_queue_head_t Now defined. You can do '#if !defined(...)` and make code changes backwards compatible.
Macro, THIS_MODULE is now the first member of struct file_operations.
Include <linux/init.h> __init data type for one-time initialization code or data. This is new, hense not backwards compatible.
Explicit initialization of spin-locks, SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED and/or spin_lock_init(spinlock_t *); If you fix this, it's backwards compatible.
ioremap() and friends is now required even for low memory stuff. You can no longer access this with a simple pointer, you must use readl()/writel(), etc., for proper defererence. If you fix this, it's backwards compatible.
These changes should get your module to compile (or nearly so).
Jonathan Corbet added that his new version of "Linux Device Drivers" would be out within a week or two (and available on the net shortly thereafter), and would either solve these porting problems or else fail in its mission.
10. FAT32 Good For Journaling?
24 Jun 2001 - 25 Jun 2001 (5 posts) Archive Link: "FAT32 superiority over ext2 :-)"
Summary By Zack Brown
Topics: FS: FAT32, Microsoft
People: Daniel Phillips, Albert D. Cahalan
Albert D. Cahalan noticed that the FAT32 filesystem was unexpectedly compatible with the Phase Tree algorithm, which enabled it to offer full data integrity, better than typical journalling filesystems. Daniel Phillips replied, "Yes, FAT is what inspired me to go develop the algorithm. However, two words: 'lost clusters'. Now that may just be an implemenation detail ;-)" Albert replied:
What lost clusters?
Set bit 8 of "flags" (A_BF_BPBExtFlags to Microsoft) to disable FAT mirroring. Then the low 4 bits are a 0-based value that indicates which copy of the FAT should be used.
Assume we have 2 copies of the FAT, as is (was?) common. I'll call them X and Y. When we mount the filesystem, we disable FAT mirroring and mark FAT X active.
Now we can make changes to FAT Y without affecting filesystem integrity. Windows will not use FAT Y. As is usual with the phase-tree algorithm, we use free space to create a new structure beside the old one.
Time for a phase change:
We have FAT Y, currently inactive, updated on disk. FAT X is active; it describes the current on-disk state. We have a new root directory on disk, sitting in free space. We have a new filesystem info sector on disk, sitting in free space.
We write one single sector, then:
FAT X becomes inactive, and will not be used by Windows. FAT Y becomes active; it describes the new on-disk state. The old root directory is marked free in FAT Y. Good! The old filesystem info sector is marked free in FAT Y. Good!
Once the superblock goes to disk, FAT X may be written to.

11. Allocating Non-Contiguous Memory
27 Jun 2001 (4 posts) Archive Link: "Allocating non-contigious memory"
Summary By Zack Brown
Topics: PCI
People: Olivier Galibert, Alan Cox, Riley Williams
Olivier Galibert asked, "What is the Right Way[tm] as of 2.4.6 to allocate 16Mb as 4K pages and get the pci bus address for each page? Bonus points is they're virtually contiguous, but that's not necessary. IIRC, the old vmalloc-then-walk-the-pagetables trick is considered out-of-bounds nowadays." Alan Cox replied, "If you want it virtually contiguous then copy the code from bttv that out-of-bounds or otherwise is now found in about 8 drivers in the kernel. If you don't need that then you can map user space and use kiovecs - which is nicer for many things." Riley Williams asked if it would be good to redo the bttv code as a standard subroutine that could be called by each driver that needed it, but Alan smirked, "It would but then I suspect Linus wouldnt want to take it as it might encourage people to use it 8)"

N.J. police to launch seat-belt crackdown
TRENTON - Police plan an aggressive seat-belt enforcement campaign starting Monday, using as a backdrop the serious injuries suffered by Gov. Corzine after he failed to buckle up.
TRENTON - Police plan an aggressive seat-belt enforcement campaign starting Monday, using as a backdrop the serious injuries suffered by Gov. Corzine after he failed to buckle up.
Traffic safety officials hope lessons learned from Corzine's April 12 Garden State Parkway crash mean they will not spot many unbuckled drivers.
"I think the public has certainly gotten a wake-up call, if you will, about how important seat belts are," said Pam Fischer, the state highway traffic safety division director.
The "Click It or Ticket" enforcement campaign is scheduled to last until June 3.
Corzine broke a leg, 11 ribs, and his collarbone and sternum in the crash, which occurred as his state-trooper-driven SUV was clipped by a pickup truck and slammed into a guardrail after going 91 m.p.h. Corzine was a front-seat passenger and was violating the state law requiring him to wear a seat belt.
The campaign has been held for several years and was planned before Corzine's crash, but Fischer said the accident helped put focus on seat-belt use in New Jersey.
"Having the governor involved in this crash has certainly called much more attention to this situation," she said. "We struggle in this traffic-safety business trying to get our message out there day in, day out. While the governor was one person involved that day, we lose about 119 people a day on the road across the country."
Corzine, his mobility restricted as he recovers from the crash, is not directly involved in the campaign. However, on Tuesday he taped a separate public service announcement urging people to use seat belts. "Hopefully, we can get it in place and on the air before Memorial Day," Corzine spokesman Anthony Coley said.
"The message is very compelling and powerful," Fischer said. She said the highway traffic safety division hopes Corzine will also address other driving hazards as time passes.
That would suit Jim Ebert of Delanco, who said he had been more worried about the speed of Corzine's SUV and dangers posed by speeding. "I really wish he would come out and say something about it," Ebert said. "I'm scared to death to ride around on these highways these days."
The campaign stems from a national effort and is being funded in New Jersey with an $800,000 federal grant to help 206 police agencies, along with the state police, participate. An estimated 90 percent of New Jerseyans use seat belts, the eighth-highest rate in the nation in 2006, according to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration.
In the United States, 43,443 people were killed on the roads in 2005, including 768 in New Jersey. Of those in New Jersey, 229 weren't buckled up. AAA says that using a seat belt reduces the risk of death by about 45 percent and the risk of moderate to critical injury by 50 percent for front-seat passengers.

Does AZO Work for UTIs?
What is AZO?
AZO is an analgesic that relieves urinary discomfort caused by a urinary tract infection or catheter use. It is a brand name for phenazopyridine hydrochloride. It eases the pain in the urinary tract by soothing the mucous membranes. However, its exact mechanism remains unknown.
The active ingredient of AZO is quickly processed in the kidneys and then excreted in the urine. It is important to note that AZO cannot fight or get rid of an infection, but only relieves the symptoms of urinary tract infections or irritation. Thus, it will not cure a urinary tract infection, but rather used to ease urinary discomfort caused by an infection.
What is a urinary tract infection?
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) can be similar to other infections in the body, except the fact that UTIs are localized in the urinary tract. The urinary tract can be divided into two parts:
- Lower urinary tract - comprised of the urethra and bladder
- Upper urinary tract - comprised of the kidneys and ureters that connect to the bladder
A urinary tract infection is commonly caused by harmful microbes, which can be fungi, bacteria, or viruses. The symptoms of a urinary tract infection would often range from painful and burning sensations while urinating to a cloudy urine or pain in the abdomen.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are regarded as one of the most common bacterial infections in women. According to certain studies, more than 50 percent of women have developed a urinary tract infection or its symptoms in their lifetime.
There are various methods of managing UTI symptoms as well as treating the infection. To help reduce the risk of recurrent urinary tract infections, natural treatment methods can be done, which include:
- Increasing water intake
- Always stay clean and dry in the genital area
- Consume probiotic foods
- Take vitamin C
- Use essential oils
Apart from the conventional and natural methods of treating UTIs, AZO has a list of products that can help manage UTI symptoms as well as the infection itself.
AZO Products
AZO Urinary Pain Relief and AZO Maximum Strength
These are over-the-counter products that provide relief from the symptoms of a urinary tract infection. These products do not cure the infection, but only help in managing UTI symptoms.
The AZO Maximum Strength is said to contain more of the active ingredient and provides a maximum relief for UTI symptoms such as urinary urgency and painful or burning sensations while urinating.
Its main ingredient called phenazopyridine hydrochloride directly targets the exact area, which causes discomfort. After taking AZO, quick relief can be achieved within 20 minutes. Moreover, AZO's active ingredient has been considered as the number one ingredient by doctors for any kind of urinary discomfort. Phenazopyridine is basically a dye, which works as a painkiller that soothes the lining of the urinary tract. This medicine can be orally taken three times a day after meals or as directed by the doctor. However, taking AZO also has accompanying side effects, which may include an upset stomach, headache, or dizziness.
AZO Urinary Tract Defense
This is a new AZO product. It is an analgesic and an antibacterial that can help control the progression of a UTI until you see a doctor or a healthcare professional. It contains the active ingredients methenamine and sodium salicylate, which is an NSAID. It provides temporary relief when it comes to urinary urgency or frequency and burning or painful sensations while urinating.
Methenamine is said to be a powerful antibacterial agent that can help slow down the growth of bacteria along the urinary tract lining. It also helps control the infection. The other ingredient called sodium salicylate helps in providing relief from pain.
Before Usage
Before starting on any medication, it is important to inform the doctor about the following things for proper diagnosis and treatment:
- Let the doctor know if you are allergic to phenazopyridine.
- If you are allergic to other drugs, substances, and certain food items.
- If you are taking other medications, which can be prescription medicine, over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, herbal supplements, or dietary supplements.
- Do not suddenly start or stop taking any medicine without consulting your doctor.
- Let the doctor know if you are pregnant, planning to conceive, or nursing a baby.
- Avoid using this medicine if you have kidney problems.
- If you have other medical conditions such as diabetes, liver disease, or G6PD deficiency, which is a genetic enzyme deficiency.
- Inform the doctor when you experience certain symptoms such as a bloody urine, a frequent urge to urinate, or a sudden decrease in the amount of urine passed after taking AZO.
- The active ingredient phenazopyridine present in AZO can make your urine reddish-orange in color. This is quite normal while you are taking AZO and is mostly expected to happen. This side effect is usually harmless and would gradually go away once you stop taking the medicine.
- In the case of diabetic patients, this medicine can lead to the alteration of test results, especially when it comes to urine glucose tests as well as urine ketone tests.
- Individuals who wear soft contact lenses should avoid wearing them when taking AZO. The active ingredient in AZO can lead to the staining or discoloration of contact lenses. Such stain would be something difficult to remove.
AZO should be orally taken three times a day after meals or as directed by the doctor. If an individual is taking AZO along with other medications or antibiotics to manage the symptoms of a UTI or are self-treating, then it should not be taken for more than two days without your doctor's recommendations. In the case of a missed dose, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is already time for another dose, then skip the missed dose and take the next scheduled dose instead. Avoid taking extra doses of the medicine to avoid an overdose.
This medicine should be stored at room temperature and in a tight container. Keep it away from heat, light, and moisture. Moreover, do not freeze the medicine. This medicine should also be kept out of children's reach. Any expired medicines that should be no longer used should be properly disposed of. During the course of treatment with AZO, make sure to drink plenty of fluids unless otherwise instructed by the doctor. AZO should not be used for more than two days unless the doctor has mentioned to take it.
The dosage of AZO would be different for different patients. Thus, it is important to follow the guidelines as mentioned by the doctor. You can also check the label of the medicine for a more detailed information on its usage and dosage.
- Adults and Teenagers - 200 mg three times a day
- Children - The dose is determined by the doctor and is dependent on the weight of the child. The usual dose is 4 mg per kg of body weight and is given three times a day.
Side Effects
Few of the common side effects of AZO are dizziness, headache, and stomach issues. However, these side effects are usually mild and would go away once the body is used to the medicine. If any of these side effects tend to persist, then it is important to immediately notify the doctor. It has been seen that most individuals who have been using this medication have not complained about any of its side effects.
Below are some of the rare but serious side effects of AZO:
- Dark-colored urine
- Abdominal pain
- Chills
- Kidney problems
- Fever
- Easy bruising or bleeding
- Bloody urine or stools
- Rapid heartbeat
- Unusually feeling tired
- Shortness of breath
Note that these side effects are quite rare to occur. In some cases, individuals may also experience allergic reactions toward the medicine and the symptoms would include:
- Hives
- Skin rashes
- Itching
- Severe dizziness
- Breathing problems
- Swellings of the face, throat, tongue, or lips
Drug Interactions
As previously mentioned, during the course of AZO treatment, avoid wearing the soft contact lenses to avoid permanent staining. There can be other drugs that could possibly cause an interaction if they are taken along with AZO. Thus, it is important to make a list of all your medications and share it with your doctor or pharmacist.

The Independent National Electoral Commission has said that it will wait for the pronouncement of the Supreme Court before taking any decision on the primary elections of the All Progressives' Congress in Zamfara state.
The commission had withheld certificates of return of the state governor-elect, Alhaji Mukhtar Shehu, following the judgment of the court of appeal in Sokoto.
However, the APC and the governor-elect, in a letter to the commission last week, said the court of appeal did not nullify their primary elections.
INEC's National commissioner and chairman of its information and voter education committee, Mr.Festus Okoye, in Abuja, said the commission was law-abiding.
Meanwhile, the state governor and senator-elect, Abdulaziz Yari, led other federal lawmakers-elect from the state to an induction course in Abuja.

Today is World Mental Health Day to raise awareness and support about mental health issues and for those who need it and to encourage all of us to talk more about what can be done to improve access to mental health resources and care. Please visit the World Health Organisation website for more information on how you can help yourself and others. Here's Prince Harry today speaking with kids at St Ann's Nottingham about managing their mental health both at home and at school:
Oprah is on the cover of the new issue of PEOPLE and she talks about having no regrets about not having children – and it's the thing I relate to most with Oprah. People put that on you, you know? When you tell them you've decided to not have kids, they nod but you can tell, there's a look of sympathy that flashes across their faces because they think one day you'll be so sad, that you'll want to go back and do it all over again. Oprah, clearly, isn't sad, at least not about that. (Dlisted)
Kate Moss's daughter, Lila Moss, is the face of Marc Jacobs Beauty and the eyeliner flick that's happening in this photo is A+. (Cele|bitchy)
Keira Knightley stepped out in a white dress and she looks like an angel and a cloud and I love this look so much – the piece seems light and soft and the sleeves are so pretty and it's a perfect length on her and I'm obsessed with these gold velvet 70s style sandals. (Go Fug Yourself)
I know, I know. The internet is so often trash. And that's such a shame because the internet is also SO creative. This is the best thing I've heard today on the internet: Cardi B doing Star Wars sounds. Amazing, right? Here's an idea. Can Cardi B please replace that famewhore of a droid BB-8? R2-D2 for life! Artoo and Cardi would be such great BBFs, non? Spin-off! (Pajiba)
Many of you have emailed me about the Coleen Rooney/ Rebekah Vardy situation that became on the best Twitter moments of the year yesterday. Why? It's not just because one person called out the other. It was Coleen's investigative patience in setting the trap and waiting it out and timing the drop; it was her use of social media, to its full – and terrifying – potential. Sarah Manavis has a great take on this and why people who don't give a sh-t about English football stars and their families were so into the drama yesterday: because that's what we don't talk about where social media is concerned – people aren't spending all their time on social media posting. Most of the time is spent on Instagram is in the back alley. (NewStatesman)

Posted on January 21, 2020 by Charles F. Becker
I've known Drew Tierney since I was 10. I'd call him a friend, but he'd find a way to argue about it. You know the type, they live to disagree – you desperately want to prove them wrong, but it never happens.
DT (as his friends call him) and I met for lunch last week. He was in fine form and clearly ready for a fight. We ordered a beer and food and started watching a game.
DT: "So, it's a good thing we finally got that Soleimani dude, right?"
DT is one of those people that put "right" at the end of every sentence so that you have to agree or become bait. I wasn't in the mood.
Me: "I suppose, but we'll just have to see where it goes."
That seemed to satisfy him as he took a bite out of his chicken sandwich, then said:
"Does it really count as an impeachment if nothing is sent over to the Senate? That wouldn't be fair, right?"
I chomped down hard on a piece of celery causing a neighboring table to stop talking for a moment. But I bit my tongue at the same time.
Me: "I'll leave that one to the scholars."
I could see DT process my comment and he apparently decided that yet another impeachment debate wasn't worth the effort. He took another bite and said:
"It's a real shame that the Dems can't get their act together on that climate change thingy."
He kind of spit out the word "thingy." He knew that would do it . . . and it did.
Me: "Climate change thingy? Are you kidding me? Climate change is a disaster, and everyone knows it!"
DT: "Really? Everyone?"
Finally! One I could win. I knew this stuff.
Me: "Do you know that 69% of all Americans believe that we need to take aggressive action to fight climate change? And that includes 56% of Republicans and 71% of independents. That's pretty impressive."
DT: "Yeah, but 43% say they wouldn't pay a dime to deal with climate change. And only 28% overall would be willing to pay even an extra $10 a month to help. That's $120 a year! That means about two-thirds of your support will talk the talk but won't walk the walk.
Me: "Well, OK, but from 2014 to 2019, the people who saw climate change as an actual crisis went from 23% to 38%. That means more than one-third of the country see it as critical."
DT: "But for Republicans, it started out at 12% and stayed at 12%. Not what I'd call a burning issue, is it? In fact, the polls of all the voters in 2012, 2016, and 2019 show that of the top issues for voters, climate change has always ranked right near the bottom."
Me: "That's because Republicans skew the results!"
I had him.
Surprisingly, DT seemed unpersuaded.
DT: "I don't think that word means what you think it means. I think you mean to say Republicans participated in the results. There are as many Republicans as Democrats. The problem is you keep forgetting that. "
Me: "I can't help it if 88% of them can't read."
DT: "Let me suggest that telling Republicans they're illiterate doesn't seem to be a particularly persuasive argument, right?"
This wasn't going exactly as I planned.
DT: "Whether you like it or not, the difference in the parties' view on climate change has the biggest gap of any of the priority issues — there's a 46% difference between the parties in how important climate change is to the country. Heck, Trump shut down the government over a border wall and the difference between the parties on immigration is a measly 28%. You're not going to close the gap by pounding your fist and saying 'you just don't get it' to the people whose vote you need."
Me: "But DT, it doesn't matter what the difference is . . . what about our children?"
DT stopped eating, looked at me, and sighed.
DT: "Well, there it is. The 'you're-killing-our-children' argument. The last bastion of the self-righteous. But you know what, I'll give you that argument. You're right, we might be killing our children, but all you've succeeded in doing is to make both parties dig in deeper. The problem is you believe that climate change is a moral issue. Maybe it was at one time, but not anymore. You know that whatever the solution is going to be, it will have to be instigated by the federal government. You keep telling me it's going to cost billions of dollars and will go on for decades. It seems to me that makes it, by definition, a problem for Congress. Like it or not, you've made it political, right? And once you make it a political problem, in this day, good luck."
That really was a show stopper. DT was right about it being a money issue. And at this scale, it was going to have to be done by Congress, so clearly it was political. In years past, maybe some sort of middle ground was possible, but not today – or tomorrow. So does DT win again?
But then I saw it. I realized DT wasn't really a bad person, he was just a good arguer. And he was a good arguer because he always forced you to argue in his ballpark. The real problem was we were just in the wrong stadium.
Me: "OK DT, you're right. The costs are really big. I doubt that we'll ever agree on a solution, so it's not worth arguing about."
DT was puzzled for a moment, but he seemed satisfied. We ordered another beer and continued to watch the game.
Me: "By the way, how's your daughter doing at Southeastern?"
DT: "Don't get me started. The cost of that place is killing me."
Me: "I hear ya. I've got the same problem. I'm just happy the investments are working out."
Next to politics, DT's favorite topic is money and he's nothing if not a creature of habit – thankfully.
DT: "Really? What's working for you?"
Me: "I put a lot into Sunkist Dynamics a few years ago. They've been going nuts!"
DT: "What do they do?"
Me: "Solar panels, and they're American made. It's sort of like buying Exxon at $5 a share."
DT: "So, there's really money there?"
Me: "Ohhh, yeah." And I added an eye roll that implied that you were an idiot if you weren't already on this gravy train. DT looked around, leaned over and sort of whispered to me:
"You think I can I get in?"
Me: "Oh, no. Sorry DT, it was a private placement deal." I took a sip of beer and let that sink in for a moment. "But I do know about a group of investors that are going to fund a wind farm. The possibilities are huge. Think about it – you make money whenever the wind blows."
I saw DT stop for a moment and sort of gaze into the distance. He was calculating how much money he might make when the primary input was free.
DT: "That sounds like a pretty good buy . . . right?"
Me: "Well, it's up to you. Just don't tell a lot of people – I want to keep this between us."
DT: "Not a problem – I get it – too many cooks kind of thing." He ran his two fingers across his lips and added: "Zipped tight."
Then a minor miracle happened:
DT: "By the way, lunch is on me today."
I ordered dessert.

Notes to Editor:
Dr. Bronner's Background
Dr. Emanuel Bronner was a third generational soap maker who spent his life renouncing hate and war on a personal mission to unite mankind. His strong views and lectures landed him in a mental asylum in Chicago, but eight months later in 1948, Bronner escaped and continued with his message in California. During this time, he also began making peppermint liquid soap under the 'Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps' brand. He gave away soap during his talks but soon realized people were taking it without listening to him speak. As a result, he started writing his philosophy on the bottle in tiny script, which is still used on Bronner's packaging today.
Currently the top-selling natural brand of soap in North America and widely renowned around the world, Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps has celebrity fan base including Gwyneth Paltrow, Drew Barrymore, Eminem, Sandra Bullock and Bobbi Brown.

"Non-destructive search for interstellar dust using synchrotron microprobes", is the first peer reviewed journal article published with "Dusters" as authors.
Peer review is an important part of the scientific process. This review subjects scientific results to the scrutiny of a knowledgeable review panel before being published. Having outsiders review the work will, hopefully, identify any holes in the contents of the paper. Having dusters as co-authors is very exciting as it shows that the peer review committee agrees that dusters are full collaborators in the Stardust@Home research.
Thank you all for your contributions.

Midpoint of the War: May to July 1863

Hawaii's Department of Health (DOH) continues to delay and deter sufficient access for marijuana patients. Currently the industry in Hawaii is a closed loop monopoly with all the cannabis grown indoor—not under the sun as you'd expect. During a hearing at the state Capitol Wednesday DOH officials weren't able to provide lawmakers with a clear timeline for the certification of medical marijuana testing labs.
The eight licensed dispensaries in Hawaii must channel all herb through one licensed testing lab Steep Hill in Oahu. Each dispensary must get the herb to a lab and back again before they can put medicine on the shelves. Right now there is only a single testing lab services eight dispensaries scattered on all the islands.
Steep Hill, which originated in Oakland, California can't keep up with the demand of the Hawaiian people. What's worse? Nobody seems to know when more labs may be licensed or when they will be granted a right to test derivatives. Senator Rosalyn Baker of Maui asked a health official at the hearing, so when do you anticipate that another lab is going to be certified and a lab that can certify product — manufactured product — is gonna be certified?
The Director of the DOH, Christian Whelen, basically said the ball is in the labs' court and the DOH needs data proving that they're capable of detecting pesticides in samples. In response to Sen Baker's question at the hearing he said, "That's a crystal ball question. I can't predict when the labs are going to submit those data packages to me. They tell me soon. I can't predict when they will do that." He continued to put the blame on the labs by stating, "We're doing the best we can to help them try to move their status forward."
Two dispensaries. Thousands of patients.
Hawaii's 18,000 patients in the medical cannabis registry need access to medicine. If Hawaii had a free enterprise system the dispensaries would be able to offer patients a full selection of quality marijuana, maintain an adequate supply and boost the local economy. Instead the state has decided to allow only a handful of lawful dispensaries and allow them to supply their own cannabis. Instead they currently have only two dispensaries—soon expanding to eight. The two in operation, Maui Wellness and Aloha Green are struggling to meet an insatiable demand. Aloha Green states on their website that "Product availability may affect open times and dates." Because of the unfortunate lack-of-labs bottleneck patients can only access marijuana during the hours of 11 am and 7pm just a few days a week—Wednesday through Sunday.
Scoring medical marijuana is even more difficult at Maui Wellness who work Don Shearer Hawaii's helicopter-piloting, pot profiteering drug warrior. You need to make an appointment to purchase pot. Reps from the
monopoly dispensary say that they are extending their "sales by appointment" process to better balance product supply with patient demand. Currently Maui Wellness operates only a few hours a week—Tuesday through Saturday from 1 pm to 5 pm and by appointment only. They asks that all patients consider their "fellow Mauians and limit their purchase to a maximum of one ounce of cannabis flower per visit."
Keep in mind that cannabis patients in Hawaii can skip limits, long lines and appointment-only drama by growing their own marijuana. Growers can flower outdoor all year long throughout the state because the chain of island lies near the equator. Plus there are cannabis genetics that are specifically designed to flourish in all the unique climates zones throughout the state—from extremely high and dry to extremely low and wet. We recommend sourcing your genetics directly from our buds Sticky Fingers and Greyskull Seeds. Tell 'em that we sent you and they'll show you some extra love. Keep it local. Oh by the way STAY TUNED for a couple new SIGNATURE STUFF STONERS LIKE strains available in seed from one of these legendary Hawaiian breeders. More info to come.
Are you planning to travel to Hawaii next year and take advantage of the reciprocity laws—meaning that you can buy weed if you're a marijuana patient—beginning January 1st, 2018? Think Hawaii'll have this dispensary debacle worked out by then? Let us know in the comments section below.

I have never liked work to keep kids busy just to keep them busy. Busy work is just that, work to keep someone busy. That seems pointless to me. Work, especially school work, needs to have a purpose, not just to keep them busy. I am also a huge advocate of combining subjects together. Like reading a book and then writing about it. You can learn about a historical figure and then do a research paper on them. Why not combining handwriting and the Bible?
I think handwriting practice is necessary, but boring by itself. Why just write a bunch of random letters? So I started combining handwriting with the Bible verses that I wanted my kids to learn.
I would make up papers with their Bible verse written on it so that they could copy it. There are font sites where you can get free fonts that have handwriting fonts to use.
Look up some different fonts to make it easier to make your worksheets:
10001freefonts.com - KG Primary Dots (print)
bvfonts.com - Learning Curve Dashed (cursive)
Handwriting and Bible verses seem to go so well together. Your kids are practicing their handwriting while learning a Bible verse. Win Win!

The winter months can do a number on the exterior of your home.
Whether it's damage to yours siding, roofing shingles, or gutters, these problems can occur at any time throughout the winter. Keep your home looking it's best this winter with these upkeep tips!
Keeping your gutters clear.
It is vital to check your gutters prior to the winter season and clear them of any debris that have piled up throughout the summer and fall. Starting with clean slate will make the buildup from winter weather easier to deal with. Throughout the winter, it is important to check your gutters periodically to ensure that there is no buildup of leaves, dirt, or other types of debris. Excess dirt and grime can cause gutters to clog, which leaves snow and ice with nowhere to go when they melt. Those who are looking for roofing companies in Kansas City may contact Bordner Home Improvement.
Dealing with ice dams
Ice build-up, or shingles, can look pretty, but they can also do some serious damage to your roofing and gutter system. When water pools to a certain area and forms a block of ice, this is known as an ice dam. These ice dams can become very heavy, especially if more snow or ice are added, and eventually cause parts of your roof or gutter to break off. If this happens, make sure to call Chase Roofing and have a professional roofing contractor repair your roof as soon as possible. In some cases, ice dams can cause damage to the interior of a home in the form of warped flooring, stained ceilings, or peeling paint. To prevent these issues from occurring, use a rake with wheels to remove settled snow and instantly change the temperature of your roof's shingles. If you're really in a bind, fill an old pair of pantyhose with calcium chloride and toss it onto your roof. The chemical reaction will help the snow and ice to melt and create a channel for the rest of the snow and ice to flow off of your roof.
In addition to ice dams, snow build up in your yard may also be a hazard. If you need help clearing the snow in your property, you may contact a commercial snow removal company.
Maintaining a warm home.
You'll probably run your heater throughout most of the winter to keep yourself and your family warm, but it's important to consider keeping the actual components of your home warm, too. Make sure your attic has the proper insulation so that your interior walls can properly protect any wiring or piping between them and the exterior walls To avoid problems with frozen pipes, wrap extra insulation around pipes in attics, crawl spaces, and other areas of your home that are prone to the cold. Keep kitchen and bathroom cabinets open to allow for extra warm air flow, and allow water to drip from your faucets to keep the water from freezing.
Protect your home from the elements this winter with these tips, brought to you by the professional contractors at All County Exteriors.

Ding Dong
'You gotta be kidding me' Willow thought, slightly raising her head from the softness of her pillow, realizing that she hadn't imagined it the first time. 'Someone's actually ringing my bell at' she looked over at her alarm clock '6-fucking-30 in the morning!'
Ding Dong
"I'm coming, I'm coming" she muttered under her breath, climbing out from under the warmth of her comforter, slipping into her slippers, pulling on her robe and heading towards the door. 'I look like the dog's breakfast' she thought. Looking at her reflection as she passed her wooden dresser.
Ding Dong
"I said... I'M COMING" she practically yelled, pulling the front door of her parents' house wide open, to see Buffy and Xander standing right outside, both looking unnaturally awake for that hour of the day. 'Sometimes I really wonder why I like them so much' was Willow first and only thought, before Buffy launched herself at her redheaded friend and pulled her into a bear hug. "What the-????" was all that Willow was able to get out, looking over her friends' shoulder at her other childhood friend, who was looking at her with a sympathetic expression combined with a smile that for some reason looked to Willow like a 'You hang in there tiger!' one.
Buffy pulled back, not releasing her grip 'a painfully hard one might I add, Willow thought' on her friends' upper arms. "Look at you" the blonde said in a whiny-ish tone. 'What's she talking about?' Willow thought, still too sleepy to want to use her brains and figure out why her friends were acting, well, the way they were! 'Maybe I have drool all over my face' the redhead thought, self consciously raising her right hand and wiping her mouth with the back of it. 'Nope, all dry there', and with that, she let her hands fall back by her side.
"Yeah..." Xander finally spoke up "She does look bad"
Willow finally managed to get it together enough to come out with a complete sentence "Well, you guys are great for a girls ego" she said sarcastically.
"How are you feeling sweetie?" Buffy asked, her voice covered in concern.
"Sleepy" Willow stated honestly.
"I don't think she's really taken it in yet" Xander said, and Buffy nodded in agreement.
"Taken what in???" Willow asked, now completely confused.
"It's ok Will... break ups can be hard... we've all been there" Buffy said, now sounding more concerned than ever!
"Oh!" Willow stated out loud, almost kicking herself for not have gotten it earlier. Then she realized that the three of them were still standing at the door. "Why don't you two come on in... I'll make us some coffee" she said, turning around and walking towards the kitchen, followed by Buffy and then Xander, after he closed the door behind him. The latter two took seats at the breakfast table, as Willow got the coffee machine started. Minutes later the coffee was ready, and she set down two steaming cups in front of her still silent friends, before getting her own cup and sitting down on a third chair.
Looking at her two best friends in the whole world, she simply stated "I'm ok guys".
"Yeah right" Xander practically huffed, and when he caught Willow's questioning glance he explained "That's what they all say Will". Willow was amused to see Buffy solemnly nod her head in agreement.
"Seriously guys, I'm fine!" she said, feeling more awake by the smell of the coffee, with assurance in her voice.
"Uh huh" Buffy said, her tone making it obvious that she totally didn't agree!
"Hello?! Are you guys even listening to me? Guys! I'm the one who broke up with him remember? It wasn't the other way around!" Willow said, getting exasperated that her friends' didn't seem to believe what she was saying.
"That's true..." Buffy said, before light seemed to dawn upon her face, and she took a new direction "What did he do to you??? Did he hurt you? Treat you bad??? Just say the word and I'll go kick his ass for hurting my best friend!!!"
"Yeah... and I'll come too!" Xander put in, trying to sound as masculine as he could, and cracking his knuckles to make the threat seem more real, before reaching out and taking a sip of his coffee.
Now Willow REALLY wanted to laugh at her friends, even though she was touched by their concern. Thinking that it would be smarter to burn her tongue before she laughed out loud, she quickly picked up her mug and took a sip of the coffee, indeed scalding her tongue slightly. Putting the cup back down, she spoke up again "Guys, it was nothing like that. We just... well, I think we both wanted different things..." 'Yeah' she added to herself 'I want Tara' She looked at her friends, wondering how they would react if she told them how she felt about the blonde. 'Mmmmm Tara' she thought, going off into a mini daydream of the blonde's heart meltingly cute smile.
"You wanted different things?" Xander asked, clearly confused by what his friend meant.
"Yeah" Willow said, not explaining what she meant, deciding it was time for another sip of coffee. Putting it back down she realized her friends were watching her every move, and knew she had to say some more to pacify their curiosity. "You know how it can be... people grow part sometimes... I still love Oz-"
"Aww" Buffy said, her tone again sympathetic.
"Aww?" Willow asked, once again confused by her friend.
"You're still in love with him?! Poor you. Is that why you split up with him? Cause he wanted something else, and before he could dump you, you beat him to it???" Buffy asked, seeming to think she'd hit the nail on the head.
'Why didn't I ever notice how weird my friends are before?' Willow asked herself, amazed at Buffy deductive powers...or the lack of them! "No, no no no... that's so not it" she said, sounding exasperated again, "That's not what happened Buff! I said 'I still love him', not 'I'm still in love with him'! And I ALSO said that 'we both wanted different things', which meant that I wanted something different too!", Willow tried to explain as simply as possible.
There was silence for a few seconds, before Xander asked "What did he want different?"
Willow answered, although she was already dreading what she KNEW the next question would be, "He wanted, well, in a way, he wanted his freedom...he wanted to have fun at his age, and explore different possibilities" seeing her friends expressions begin to change again she hastened to add "but I have to respect that he didn't ask me for it. I brought it up because, well, I wanted something different too" 'Go me... I'm just bringing the question onto myself' she thought, when she heard the dreaded question asked by Xander...
"What did you want Will?"
Taking a deep breath, Willow answered honestly "I want to be in a relationship with someone whom I'm in love with" 'Chicken!!!!' she screamed at herself in her head. 'Why don't you just tell them?! Tell them that you want to be in a relationship with Tara, whom you think you're falling in love with!!!!' While her friends sat there in silence, thinking about what she'd just said, Willow added "I want to be with someone whom I can just think about and break into a smile... who's laugh I would give my right arm to hear... who would be the only person my eyes saw in a room full of people... someone I REALLY love... you know?" 'Tara!!!!!' her mind screamed.
"Mmm" Buffy said, a dreamy smile lighting up her face. "I see myself getting there with Zak... he's just so... so special..."
"And I already think I'm in love with Anya..." Xander said, a goofy smile plastered on his face as he thought of his girlfriend. "I mean, I met here and there was this instant connection! And I know she's full of sarcasm and wise cracks, but... but she really does feel like home guys."
Both girls smiled at their dark haired friend as he practically gushed at the thought of his girlfriend. A sense of camaraderie had now settled in the room, and Buffy looked at Willow again, and asked for the last time "You're sure you're ok then?"
"Mmm" Willow nodded, leaning to her left to hug her best friend. "Thanks for being so concerned though" she said as she hugged Buffy, and then turned to lean to her left and pull Xander into a hug "You guys are really great" she smiled at him, before ruffling his hair lightly and then sitting back properly in her chair.
The rest of their time together was spent discussing small things of little consequence, like teachers who they were convinced were reincarnations of the devil because of the amount of homework they handed out, and Buffy's soccer practice. Forty-five minutes later Willow stepped into the shower, as Buffy waited downstairs, watching early morning cartoons. Xander had left to go see Anya for what he called a "breakfast date", which had received a "how cute" from Buffy! The two girls would drive to University, and meet him on campus during their break. As she stood under the shower Willow couldn't help feeling guilty for not telling her friends the complete truth.
'Soon...' Willow promised her conscience as she dressed 'Soon...'

Baby clothes for my nephew
In the picture above is my new nephew who was born in June! As her only auntie, I was very keen on sewing something cute for him.
Suuri Käsityö 5/2018 Mekkohaalari – Dress romper
Harvoin käsityölehteä lukiessa tulee niin inspiroitunut olo, että kaava on piirrettävä ja ommeltava heti. Tämä Suuri Käsityö 5/2018 Mekkohaalari teki kuitenkin poikkeuksen, sillä toukokuussa alkaneet helteet aiheuttivat meillä kotona akuutin kesävaatepulan. Liikunnalliselle nuorelle neidille mekko-shortsihaalariyhdistelmä on yliveto.
Marina romper for the summer
This lovely romper pattern by Cali Faye has been on my wishlist for a long time. For some reason I'd never found a perfect fabric. Then I bought this wonderful viscose remnant at the local fabric shop and I loved the colour and the pattern (of the fabric). I was at first thinking of doing something for myself out of it, but then thought that the strong colour would suit S better. When I remembered this romper pattern, I decided that the pattern and the fabric were meant for each other. Marina romper was very simple to sew and did not take long. The front and the back are identical and were…
