Children's Bible Classes: What's the Real Goal?
I don't get the opportunity to teach children's Bible classes very often. Most every quarter of the year I'm teaching adults or college-age students, so when Vacation Bible School rolls around every Summer, I enjoy volunteering to spend time in one of those classrooms I don't often get to visit.
A few years ago, I had a room full of 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders. We were talking about "covenants" and I was trying to help those 7, 8, and 9-year-olds understand why the covenants we read about in the Bible are so important. God has made many promises to people throughout history and he always keeps his promises. In turn, God wants us to promise to love and serve him, and keep our promise.
So I asked the kids, "Why do we have Bible classes?" And I got … blank stares. I told them I have a grandfather who lives in Florida. His name is Everett. Then I asked, "Can you make a promise to Everett?" No. "Why?" Because they didn't know Everett. You can't make a promise to someone you don't know.
And there it is: the point of children's Bible classes and Vacation Bible School. It's not babysitting or board games. The point of getting children together in these settings is to help them get to know the God who makes and always keeps his promises. The goal is so much bigger than silly skits and snack-time. The real aim of children's Bible classes is to help those children grow to the point of promising to love and serve the God who loves them more than they can even imagine.
One generation shall commend your works to another,
and shall declare your mighty acts. (Psa 145:4)
One generation helps the next generation helps the next generation know God. Why? Because you can't make a promise to someone you don't know.
And those who know your name put their trust in you,
for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you. (Psa 9:10)
You won't know someone you don't seek. You can't trust someone you don't know. But the more you seek the LORD, the more you'll come to know him. And the more you come to know him, the more you'll learn that you can trust him.
Seeking, knowing, trusting, and obeying: that's the goal of every effective Bible class and why we're so excited for Vacation Bible School this week.

In an ongoing prospective study involving ERCP in a wide spectrum of practice settings, we are examining technical success and complication rates, and their relative impact on utilization of resources. METHODS: Consecutive ERCP's attempted at 11 centers (6 private, 5 university) were enrolled. Procedure data were recorded at time of ERCP, and outcomes assessed at 30 days. Complications were defined by consensus criteria (Cotton et al), but included all procedure-related events. ERCP-related hospital days (=hosp-days) were defined as nights in hospital for observation, treatment of complications (=complic's), or for additional unplanned endoscopic, radiological, and surgical interventions due to failures or complic's of ERCP (=addt'l proc). RESULTS: Data are shown for the 486 cases (of 804 ERCP) which were performed on "virgin" papillae (no prior sphincterotomy or stent) and were done for "traditional" indications (Dx or biliary Tx only, without pancreatic sphincter or ductal Tx). "VIRGIN PAPILLA" ERCP (n=486) Diagnostic intended only (n=142) Technical Success Complete 86% Partial 8% Fail 6% Success 86% 8% 6% Complic's 6% 0% 22% Addt'l proc" 2% 18%* 22%* Hosp-days 0.8 ± 0.2 0.5 ± 0.2 3.6* ± 1.9 Biliary therapy intended (n=344) Technical Complete Partial Fail Success 87% 5% 8% Complic's 14% 17% 12% (n=344) Addt'l proc 4% 44%* 62%* Hosp-days 1.5 ± 0.1 2.7 ± 1.0 6.2* ± 1.8 *P<0.01 vs complete CONCLUSIONS: For both Dx and Tx ERCP, complication rates were similar regardless of whether ERCP was a technical success or failure. However, failed ERCP resulted in a marked excess of unplanned endoscopic, radiological, and surgical interventions, and significant prolongation of hospital stay (about 4 days). Resource utilization related to ERCP is primarily related to technical success.

At Dorini Custom Homes we feel that it is important to educate prospective customers on the ins and outs of planning, budgeting, designing and completing construction of a new house. Below is a link to our official Blog as well as links to our most popular articles (each will open in a new browser window).
If you live in the northeast, you're bound to see all kinds of houses- from brand new to homes older than our country itself. There's also a myriad of construction options including conventional 'stick framed' homes to panelized, modular, solid log, timber frame, post & beam, ICF (insulated concrete forms) and countless others. Then there is the daunting comparison of new home construction and how it relates (or doesn't relate) to existing homes on the real estate market. The options and features are seemingly endless, so what is considered "Standard"?… (CLICK to Continue Reading this Article)
Generally, one of the first questions we receive from a prospective client is, "I love this design, how much will it cost me?" As much as we would love to say this is an easy answer, it typically takes 50-100 hours of exploratory effort by a builder AFTER a new home's design work and blueprints have been completed before an accurate price can be attached to the turnkey budget. That timeline is typically broken down over 1-2 months as... (Click to Continue Reading this Article)

What To Do When you Find A Mistake on Your Credit Report
What happens when credit agencies make a mistake on your credit report? Absolutely nothing…unless you send in a dispute claim. If a credit agency mistakenly lists your mortgage twice, records that you had late credit card payments, includes properties that you no longer own, or even lists you as deceased on your credit report they will not correct these errors unless you specifically ask them to. Meaning that your credit score can suffer a lot of damage for something that is not true. That is why it is so important to dispute errors on your credit report as soon as you find them.
The first step is finding the errors in your credit report. If you have not ordered a credit report for 2020 read our article from last week on why and how you should order a free report today. Now that you have found the error it is time to send in a dispute claim. Sadly, this happens so often to Americans that the Federal trade Commission (FTC) has a step by step guide on their website on how to dispute your credit report. We have linked that guide here below.
After you have followed the guide to disputing the error on your credit report remember these three things:
- Be Persistent: a credit agency has little to no incentive to correct the error on your credit report for you. While your credit can suffer deeper damage each day there is an inaccuracy, the credit agency may drag their heels on reviewing your dispute. This is why it is essential that even after you send in your dispute you continue to follow up with the agency either by phone or email to ensure that your credit report is corrected and you can get back on the road towards a good credit score.
- Record Everything: Disputing a credit error can be a game of he said she said between you and the credit agency. But having cold hard evidence that your credit report is inaccurate and that you have contacted them about it protects you from falling victim to permanent credit damage. When sending in your dispute, save a copy of everything from the letter you send them to the documents proving your claim.
- Keep Up Good Credit Habits: An error on your credit report can be a minor issue such as a mis-spelling of your name but it can also be large and very harmful to your credit such as an extra mortgage in your name. While you are waiting for your dispute to be reviewed, the most important thing you can do for yourself and your credit is to keep up or develop good credit habits. If you credit did suffer because of the error, then today is the day to start building your score back up.
Do not let a credit agency mistake hurt you or your credit. Time heals all wounds, but the clock does not start until you take action and send in a dispute.

April 19, 2020. In late 2019, for the first time since Israel imposed the closure on Gaza more than 12 years ago, a shipment of chocolate-covered marshmallow wafers made by the Gaza-based factory Sarayo Al Wadiya exited the Strip destined for markets in Gulf countries. In February and March this year, two more companies, Abu Hamid and Badri Wahaniyeh, managed to export shipments of dukkah (a spice blend containing sesame seeds, coriander and other spices), as well as spices and coffee to be sold in Germany and the UAE.
These breakthroughs follow Gisha's legal and public advocacy. Before Israel tightened the closure on Gaza in the summer of 2007, as much as 80 percent of the processed food manufactured there was sold outside the Strip, mostly in the West Bank and Israel. Gisha's efforts have aimed to compel Israel to remove its ban on the exit of processed foods from Gaza, a central factor contributing to economic deterioration in the Strip. Despite assertions by the Israeli authorities before the court to take steps to advance the marketing of Gaza-made food products in the West Bank and Israel, no progress has been made on the matter.
The owner of Badri Wahaniyeh told Gisha that to him, being able to market his products outside Gaza would be "a first step toward developing international trade connections," though the profit margin from exports abroad are small due to high shipping costs. Factory owners and manufacturers from the Strip emphasize the need for Israel to remove restrictions on marketing their goods in the West Bank and Israel so that the processed food sector can fulfill its potential and contribute to the local economy.
In these days of financial and existential uncertainty, policy-makers across the globe are taking action to allow as much economic activity as possible under the necessary social distancing measures. With this in mind, Gisha calls on Israeli decision-makers to remove destructive trade restrictions hindering economic development in the Strip in order to mitigate the impact of the global economic crisis on Gaza's civilian population. Restoring permission to market Gaza-made processed food products in the West Bank and Israel would protect existing jobs, produce many new ones, and help pave the way for greater economic activity in the Strip.

Churn might be a fact of life, but successful media and streaming companies have a laser-like focus on getting that number as low as possible. Research suggests it can cost up to $200 to acquire a new customer for these services, but that 46% of consumers had cut at least one provider within the previous six months. Whilst it may be hard to move that first number, there are steps you can take to ensure that the second impacts someone else—not you.
It's important to understand that churn must be prevented, rather than attempting to change a decision the consumer has already made. That means ensuring that each customer gets the absolute best from your service at all times—so the thought of leaving never enters their minds. The following approach might help.
- Learn and understand each individual consumer's viewing habits and preferences. Aggregate data from multiple channels, and in particular apps on TV, tablet, and phone—where content is typically consumed.
- Apply this learning to understand which new content your customers will like, or alternatively, when you have new content, find all the customers who may be interested. With simple logic (watched a previous series of the same show), or more complex queries (has a certain level of engagement with shows in a similar category, within certain recency and frequency constraints), build dynamic audiences for campaigns built around new content.
- Deliver multichannel campaigns via your marketing cloud, including the following:
- In-app messages, delivered at an appropriate time, within both TV and mobile apps, promoting the new content.
- Embedded experiences—such as the prominent featuring of the new content on home screens and menus.
- Rich push notifications direct to the smartphone, including video previews and the ability to link straight to the new content in the app.
- Email updates (either within a dynamically generated newsletter or stand-alone), delivered if the user has not responded to in-app or push calls to action.
- Keep track of user behavior. If the customer stops watching during a series, for example, go back to step 3 and execute a similar campaign—whilst being aware that perhaps it simply wasn't for them.
- Continue to execute multichannel campaigns as appropriate, ensuring that your customers are continually aware of new content and recommendations, and get maximum value from your service. Remember—the metric you are looking to drive is usage, which will in turn drive churn downwards.
Get more detailed use cases in our eBook: Driving Engagement and Reducing Churn in Digital Streaming.
To Sum Up…
What each of these use cases shows is how critical mobile is to integrated, cross-channel marketing campaigns. Both as a source of data and as a channel for communication in a variety of formats.
And of course, these examples are merely the tip of the iceberg. The ongoing rise of mobile, and indeed of apps in channels beyond mobile such as SmartTV, means that mobile is no longer an option or a nice-to-have. There are thousands of ways in which mobile can add value and help drive loyalty, retention, engagement, and revenue for businesses of all types.
Meaningful, native mobile experience must be part of the marketing mix.

I'm a Beatles fan. I can't imagine a world without The Beatles. Their impact is just one of those things you can't comprehend. They started the British Invasion. They influenced fashion, music, culture, politics. Inspired people around the world. It's like trying to comprehend a world without Disney or IBM or NASA or Coca-Cola. But Yesterday does just that. And in a big way it's sad.
Now, I have to admit, I have not watched the whole movie. I actually had to stop because I was getting seriously depressed watching it. I told myself that I'll finish watching it tonight but in all likelihood, it will probably be Saturday. Okay, definitely Sunday.
SPOILER ALERT. I'm going to discuss the movie, if you don't want to be spoiled, leave now.
Jack is a struggling musician. He can sing and play, but his original songs aren't gaining him any traction in his music career. Until one night when the power goes out around the world and he is hit by a bus. And when he wakes up, he is only one of a few people that remember The Beatles (or Coca-Cola). What caused any of this is never explored unfortunately. Of those few people, he is apparently the only musician. So, he begins writing down all The Beatles's songs. And playing them. And passing them off as his own work. He tries to tell Ellie (his manager/love interest) the truth. Until he is noticed by Ed Sheeran. And I kept watching.
Obviously, this movie is not meant as a great moral lesson. It's a romantic comedy. It doesn't explore the ramifications of why no one remembers The Beatles (or Coca-Cola). Jack tamps down the unethical feelings he has about plagiarizing The Beatles. And I kept watching. He jets off to Moscow and performs Back in the USSR, which he "wrote" on the flight, to huge applause. And I kept watching. Ed Sheeran challenges him to a spontaneous song-writing contest which he wins with "The Long and Winding Road."
And here is pretty much where I had to stop watching. Yes, I know this was just a movie. But something about watching someone plagiarize one of my favorite songs to beat someone with genuine songwriting ability was just too much. There are a lot of musicians in the world. Some of them are one-hit wonders. Some of them are gifted with the ability to write hit after hit after hit. When Ed Sheeran compared Jack and himself to Mozart and Salieri with a look of complete and utter defeat. I had enough.
Will I finish watching the movie? Yes, of course I will. I don't not finish watching movies. I will find time to watch it. And I have a feeling that everything will work out in the end. Like I said, this is not meant to be a great Greek Moral tragedy. I hope that Jack will find his way. I hope that Jack will tell the truth and find his way back to Ellie. Yes, I am paraphrasing another movie that started out depressing and ended up being a great movie.
I hope.
Disclaimer: I was provided a free copy of Yesterday for this review. All opinions are my own.

This was mainly due to significantly higher sales prices. These rose in all regions and business areas, largely following the higher raw materials prices for naphtha and butane, our most important feedstock. We also increased volumes. In Europe, sales volumes were slightly higher than in the previous year, as the supply of raw materials through the North Harbor and thus production in Ludwigshafen, Germany, was severely restricted in 2017. However, the low water levels on the Rhine River in the third and fourth quarters of 2018 led to significant production limitations. Volumes rose in North America, mainly as a result of higher capacity utilization of the condensate splitter in Port Arthur, Texas. Sales were dampened by currency effects. Petrochemicals – Factors influencing sales Petrochemicals – Sales by region Location of customer EBIT before special items declined considerably. Compared with the very strong prior-year level, margins decreased significantly over the course of the year, especially for steam cracker products. This was due to higher market supply as a result of new capacities in the market, particularly in North America. Fixed costs increased. In the previous year, we received significantly higher insurance refunds; in addition, maintenance expenses were up from the 2017 figure. The low water levels on the Rhine River was a significant contributor to the decline in earnings. back next

The process of experiencing mediated learning as a result of peer collaboration between young adults with severe learning difficulties
Ruth Kaufman - 2001
Mediation Learning is an interpersonal experience, where the mediator's role is to develop in the mediatee functions essential for learning. The mediator focuses on his mediatee while identifying, analyzing, formulating, and solving problems related to everyday life and formal education frameworks. This study is focused upon the mediator, his/her experience in mediated learning and the development of mediational abilities and cognitive functions as a result of social goals.
In this study mediation was carried out in pairs and in a group format. The group was composed of low functioning young adults suffering from severe learning problems. They acted in pairs, using a peer mediating activity, and also worked in the group for replicating their actions, and for studying the theory of mediated learning, its procedure and activities. The tasks used were taken from Feuerstein's cognitive intervention programme - Instrumental Enrichment.
Such a framework allowed me to identify and capture different aspects of students' cognitive functioning as well as their inter- and intra-personal mediation. Each student had to play different roles, sometimes acting as a mediator to another member of the group and thus focusing on his/her difficulties and needs, at other times being a mediatee and receiving mediation from another group member. In addition each student participated in the whole group activity reflecting upon, analyzing, and evaluating his/her own and his/her peer's and friends' actions. All this wove strong experience in mediated learning, in different distances and modalities. Three different instruments were developed as a means of data collection and analysis: the mediation circular profile; the structural hierarchy of deficient cognitive functions map; and the process analysis flow chart.
The study unfolded as a micro-developmental process with students starting at a very low level of cognitive functioning and mediational ability and gradually progressing toward quite sophisticated methods of interaction, mediation, and problem solving. In the course of such micro-evolution each group member developed his/her own position and role within the group and in the group activities.
The findings support the theory of Structural Cognitive Modifiability while showing that even low level functioning people, who usually play the role of a mediatee, can be mediators. Moreover, by mediating to other people, they improve their cognitive functioning, abstract level of thinking, social and communicational skills.

What is the Speech CLI?
The Speech CLI is a command-line tool for using Speech service without having to write any code. The Speech CLI requires minimal setup. You can easily use it to experiment with key features of Speech service and see how it works with your use cases. Within minutes, you can run simple test workflows, such as batch speech-recognition from a directory of files or text to speech on a collection of strings from a file. Beyond simple workflows, the Speech CLI is production-ready, and you can scale it up to run larger processes by using automated
.bat or shell scripts.
Most features in the Speech SDK are available in the Speech CLI, and some advanced features and customizations are simplified in the Speech CLI. As you're deciding when to use the Speech CLI or the Speech SDK, consider the following guidance.
Use the Speech CLI when:
- You want to experiment with Speech service features with minimal setup and without having to write code.
- You have relatively simple requirements for a production application that uses Speech service.
Use the Speech SDK when:
- You want to integrate Speech service functionality within a specific language or platform (for example, C#, Python, or C++).
- You have complex requirements that might require advanced service requests.
- You're developing custom behavior, including response streaming.
Core features
Speech recognition: Convert speech to text either from audio files or directly from a microphone, or transcribe a recorded conversation.
Speech synthesis: Convert text to speech either by using input from text files or by inputting directly from the command line. Customize speech output characteristics by using Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML) configurations.
Speech translation: Translate audio in a source language to text or audio in a target language.
Run on Azure compute resources: Send Speech CLI commands to run on an Azure remote compute resource by using
spx webjob.
Get started
To get started with the Speech CLI, see the quickstart. This article shows you how to run some basic commands. It also gives you slightly more advanced commands for running batch operations for speech to text and text to speech. After you've read the basics article, you should understand the syntax well enough to start writing some custom commands or automate simple Speech service operations.

Exeter Chiefs have received a letter from a Royal Family member congratulating them on their double-winning season.
Rob Baxter's men lifted the European Champions Cup for the first time in their history with a thrilling victory over Racing 92 in Bristol, before following it up with their second Premiership title a week later by beating Wasps at Twickenham.
And their success has caught the eye of Princess Anne, who visited Sandy Park stadium in 2007.
The Princess Royal, who is daughter of the Queen and Prince Phillip, wrote to club chief executive Tony Rowe to offer her congratulations on an outstanding season.

She wrote: "It seems like only a year or two ago, Exeter Rugby Club very kindly asked me to open the new Sandy Park Stadium. I was delighted to do so and was very impressed with everything I saw, but that was 26th June 2007.
"Sandy Park Stadium has certainly changed in order to cope with the Chiefs' growing success, Premiership Rugby in 2010, English Premiership title and now the DOUBLE.
"I would just like to offer my congratulations to all involved in the success of what is a true club effort.
"The impact on Exeter as a city and the South West is obvious, but it also an example of what a Rugby Club can do for its fans, the local community and, more broadly, fans of rugby everywhere, including Scotland.
"Well done and thank you for all you do for the game of Rugby Union."
Mr Rowe responded on the Chiefs website, saying: "As a club we were honoured to have received this letter from Her Royal Highness, the Princess Royal.
"As she rightly pointed out, she officially opened Sandy Park back in 2007.
"I know she has a great interest in rugby union, particularly Scottish Rugby, and with a number of their internationals now plying their trade with the Chiefs, I am sure she will have an even greater interest in our fortunes."
The club actually moved to Sandy Park from the County Ground in 2006, and appointed Baxter as head coach in 2009 before winning promotion to the Premiership in 2010.
Since then, they have won the Premiership and Anglo-Welsh Cup twice, and lifted the European Champions Cup this year as well.
They began the defence of the Premiership title with a comprehensive 33-3 win at Harlequins on Friday night.
They host Bath on Saturday in a Westcountry derby, before a trip to Leicester Tigers.

Beginning Friday, June 26, Washington State now requires everyone to wear a cloth face covering in public when they cannot maintain six feet of distance from others. Here are some answers to questions that parents and other caregivers might have about face coverings and children.
When does the face covering requirement apply to children?
The requirement applies to children ages five years and older, unless they are medically directed to do otherwise. The Washington State Department of Health strongly recommends, but does not require, children who are two to four years old use face coverings in public settings under the close supervision of an adult. Children who are younger than two should never wear face coverings. With smaller airways, breathing through masks are difficult for little ones. For infants, there may be an increased risk of suffocation. Also, older infants and young toddlers are likely to pull the mask off, resulting in them touching their face more often. The risks outweigh the benefits for children younger than two years old.
Children older than five do not need to wear face coverings when they are at home or in the car if they are only with people from their own household. They also do not need to wear a face covering when playing outdoors when they can maintain six feet of social distance from others. When you are outdoors as a family, it is a good idea to keep face coverings in a pocket or bag to use in case you come across other people from whom you cannot stay six feet away.
What are some tips for encouraging younger children to wear face coverings?
ParentMap recently published an article with some great tips on encouraging children to wear face coverings. The advice includes:
- Children often learn through play; you can introduce the idea by placing a face covering or mask on your child's favorite doll or stuffed animal.
- Buy or make masks in patterns that match your child's interests. If your child is into unicorns or superheroes, choose a pattern that they will be excited to wear.
- Practice wearing a face covering at home, even if it is just for a few minutes. This is especially important if your kids are headed to a place where a face covering is required, like on an airplane flight.
What should I look for in face coverings?
The face covering should fit securely over your child's nose and mouth. If you are purchasing one, look for washable covering made from multiple layers of tightly woven fabric. Every child is different so you might need to try a few styles and sizes before finding one that works best.
If you would like to make your own, there many tutorials online that can be made without any sewing skills and with materials you probably already have at home. The CDC has several easy-to-follow templates and mask-making instructions on its website.
How should I care for my child's face coverings?
It is safest to wash your face covering after each wear because it has the potential to be contaminated when you are out in public. The best practice is for children and caregivers to wash or sanitize their hands before putting on and after removing their face coverings. You should try to avoid touching the outside of the covering by folding it carefully and storing it in a private place, such as a personal plastic zip-top bag.
Finally, it is important to remember that wearing masks enhances but does not replace the other prevention measures that we have already been doing. We all still need to stay home when we are sick, keep six feet away from others, and wash our hands frequently.

What's cooking?: Q&A with Chef Zachary Engel
Zachary Engel (Tulane University '10) is the chef de cuisine at Shaya Restaurant, a popular Israeli-southern restaurant in New Orleans. Fresh from winning the 2017 James Beard rising star award – the Oscars of the culinary industry – Engel sat down with Hillel News to talk about everything from his salad days at Hillel to his favorite Israeli recipes. Here are highlights from that conversation.
How did you get your start as a chef?
I started cooking part time at Tulane's Hillel as a freshman for some extra cash and because I thought I wanted to cook for a living. Through generous members of the Jewish community I got connected to Alon Shaya before he opened Domenica in 2009. Only a couple weeks into the opening of the restaurant I knew I wanted to work in restaurants definitively.
How did your experience at Tulane Hillel shape you personally and professionally?
I got to make a lot of mistakes while cooking at Hillel and I learned a lot about how to properly execute food. I had to be really self-critical even knowing people were enjoying it and that the dishes could get better.
What were some of the recipes you made at Tulane Hillel?
I used to make a meatloaf that people loved but Israeli night with falafel and hummus and Israeli salad was the big hit every time.
What's your favorite Israeli recipe?
Hummus. It's such a simple dish and it has everything in it that I love. Really good hummus has a balance of acidity, creaminess and fat.
What advice do you have for students trying to make food in dorm rooms?
My dorm didn't really have a lot of kitchen space or pans and I certainly didn't own any. As a professional cook I think there's a lot of ways to cook more creatively based on how you're limited. Something as simple as making a really good vinaigrette and mixing it with fresh veggies, cheese, nuts is always super filling and really healthy.
Can you share a recipe for our students?
Halloumi with Strawberries, Pickled Chilies and Carob Molasses by Zachary Engel
Yield: 4 servings
¾ lb fresno chile peppers (or wax peppers)
2 sprigs oregano
8 cloves garlic
2 cups water
2 cups white distilled vinegar
2 tablespoons kosher salt
6 tablespoons sugar
16 oz halloumi cheese, cut into 4 pieces
3 cups canola oil
1 lb. strawberries
2 tablespoons carob molasses
Equipment needed: 1 large frying pan
- Preheat the oven to 325 F.
- Cut the stems off the top of the peppers with a small paring knife. Insert the paring knife into the pepper and scrape out all the seeds and pith into a large bowl. Discard the stems and seeds and place the peppers in a large container with a lid.
- On a cutting board, crush the garlic with the side of a knife. Place the garlic, oregano, water, vinegar, salt and 2 tablespoons of sugar in a medium sauce pot; bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and let the pickling liquid sit for 3 – 5 minutes and then pour over the peppers. Let the pickled peppers cool until room temperature.
- With a small knife, remove the leaves and stems from the top of the strawberries. Place the strawberries in a shallow baking dish with the bottoms of the fruit facing up. Sprinkle the remaining 4 tablespoons of sugar on top. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes until the fruit is a dark garnet color. Keep the strawberries in the syrup and cool to room temperature.
- In the frying pan, heat the canola oil to approximately 400 F. Carefully, place the halloumi in the hot oil and cook until golden brown. Flip the cheese over with a long pair of tongs, as necessary. Remove from the pan and drain on a paper towel to catch any excess grease.
- To serve: Pour the strawberries and their syrup on the bottom of a plate and place the halloumi on top of the fruit. Chop the pickled chilies into large pieces and sprinkle approximately one pepper over the top. Drizzle ½ tablespoon of carob molasses over each portion.

Sigmund Freud: The phrases you use without realising it
- Published
It's 75 years since the death of Sigmund Freud, and the words and phrases he popularised are deeply ingrained in popular culture and everyday language. How did Freudian jargon become so widespread?
There's the Freud in textbooks. The bearded Viennese polymath who pioneered psychoanalysis. The Freud that academics never tire of arguing about.
Then there's the other Freud. The pub Freud. The one you might allude to when you mention dreams, or verbal slips, or someone fancying their mum. His relationship to the first Freud is tangential at best.
Eavesdrop on a conversation and it's likely that, sooner or later, a concept invented or popularised by the founding father of free association will pop up.
Oedipus complex. Denial. Id, ego and super-ego. Libido. Death wishes. Anal retentiveness. Defence mechanisms. Displacement. Phallic symbols. Projection. Transference. And, of course, Freudian slips.
It's not just Freud's terminology that is all over the popular lexicon. He's an adjective in his own right.
Some Freudian terms
- The unconscious (or subconscious): Freud said that much of what we think is hidden from our waking minds, in our unconscious or subconscious; forbidden wishes and unacceptable thoughts can escape in a distorted way through dreams and "Freudian slips".
- Oedipus Complex: Freud's term for the complex set of emotions which occur between children and their parents - named after the tragic figure of Sophocles's Greek drama, who - without knowing it - killed his father and married his mother
- Id, ego and super-ego: A "structural" theory of the mind, which separates it into the id - the realm of uncoordinated and instinctual appetites, the super-ego which plays a critical and moralising role, and the ego, which aims a balance between the two.
"What would Freud think?" and "Ooh, that's a bit Freudian" are basically "nudge nudge, wink wink" for the sort of person who is very keen to let you know they went to university.
Other 20th Century intellectuals can't compete. Not Sartre or Chomsky or Einstein. Film reviews in red-top tabloids rarely name-drop Foucault or de Beauvoir.
But everyone knows what you're on about when you mention Freud. Or at least they think they do. The unconscious. Sexual repression. Dreams. Mummy and daddy issues.
"You don't have to read Freud to live in a world where Freud is important or to think in a Freudian way," says Stefan Marianski of the Freud Museum in London. All you need to do is consume mass popular culture produced from the mid-20th Century onwards.
Freud had the advantage of being an extremely good writer, who would illustrate psychoanalysis with reference to the work of great artists such as Shakespeare, Dostoevsky and Leonardo da Vinci.
But, believes psychologist Oliver James, author of Love Bombing, "The reason Freud became such a major cultural force is that he was brought into popular culture first through feature films." Starting with Alfred Hitchcock's 1945 psychoanalysis-themed thriller Spellbound, overt references to Freud have abounded in cinema.
Most notably, there's virtually the entire output of Woody Allen - as he says at the start of Annie Hall: "I never had a latency period". Then there's the father-son dynamic of The Empire Strikes Back and, indeed, Back to the Future. "It's basically the Oedipus complex," says Marianski. "The logic of Back to the Future is the same as Psycho, really."
And then you have the stream-of-consciousness novels of Virginia Woolf and James Joyce. Salvador Dali and the Surrealists. The Sopranos and Frasier. The 2011 film A Dangerous Method, starring Viggo Mortensen as Freud. Or indeed anything featuring a repressed memory, a dream sequence or a character with incestuous impulses.
Not that much of this is strictly - in the sense that academic scholars would use the term - Freudian. The gap between the pub Freud and what Freud actually wrote is often quite large.
Although much of his body of thought - not least around "infantile sexuality" - was seen as dangerously radical during his lifetime, the more challenging aspects of his work were rarely dwelt on by the mass media.
"I think that most of us have only a vague - perhaps defensively vague - sense of what Freud is really saying, not least because in the field of popular culture his work has often been mediated to us in ways that water it down, make it palatable, reduce its insight, its complexity - and, I suppose, its difficulty - and turn it into a cosy and reassuring fantasy," says Dr Nicholas Ray, who lectures in Freudian thought at Leeds University.
Typically at the end of the film, the repressed memory is recovered, the heroine is granted self-knowledge and the audience gets a satisfying narrative conclusion.
But even if Freud is widely misunderstood and misrepresented, and the Oedipus complexes portrayed in TV dramas are quite different from the Oedipus complex set out in The Interpretation of Dreams, there is little denying his concepts remain the subject of widespread public fascination.
It's all the more remarkable given that much of what Freud wrote has been superseded by subsequent research, and that in some academic circles his theories have come under fierce attack - not least from feminists, who regard concepts such as penis envy as misogynistic, and accuse him of ignoring evidence that some of his patients had been victims of child abuse.
Freud still has his adherents - including Oliver James, who says his writings about dreams, the unconscious and the role of early childhood are still valid. But Marianski concedes Freud is "mostly read in humanities departments today" rather than by scientists.
Most of this will have passed the layman by, however. What's perhaps more significant, Marianski says, is that Freudian language was popularised during a particularly self-obsessed era.
Sigmund Freud 1856-1939
- Austrian neurologist and founder of psychoanalysis, regarded as one of most influential - and controversial - minds of the 20th Century
- Born in Freiberg, Moravia (now Pribor in Czech Republic). Family moved to Leipzig and then settled in Vienna, where Freud studied medicine
- Developed theory that humans have unconscious in which sexual and aggressive impulses are in perpetual conflict for supremacy with the defences against them
- His major work The Interpretation of Dreams was published in 1900 in which dreams were explained in terms of unconscious desires and experiences
- In 1923, he published The Ego and the Id, which suggested a new structural model of the mind, divided into the "id", the "ego" and the "superego"
- In 1938, shortly after Nazi annexation of Austria, Freud left Vienna for London, where he died the next year
"From a historical perspective, he's part of a general movement where people start to look more into themselves," says Marianski. "There was a broad cultural shift in our culture - how you conceptualise the self?"
But there is much in Freud's writing that makes the continued prominence of his terms appear incongruous. In particular, his theories of repression belong very much to a pre-sexual revolution world.
"Now that young people seem to be at liberty to do whatever they want and talk about whatever they want, it's very interesting that Freud would still be very interesting to them," says James.
No doubt this won't stop people from picking and choosing Freudian terms as they see fit in the service of a great 21st Century activity - putting themselves and others on the proverbial couch.
As WH Auden wrote after Freud's death, "To us he is no more a person / now but a whole climate of opinion".
It's more elegant than "pub Freud".

Wal-Mart Watch: It's got the whole world in its hands: Indeed, with $256 billion in annual sales and 20 million shoppers visiting its stores each day, Wal-Mart has greater reach and influence than any retailer in history. "In each historical epoch a prototypical enterprise seems to embody a new and innovative set of economic structures and social relationships," said Nelson Lichtenstein, a history professor at the University of California here and the organizer of the conference. "These template businesses are emulated because they have put in place, indeed perfected for their era, the most efficient and profitable relationship between the technology of production, the organization of work and the new shape of the market." In the 19th century, he said, the standard-setting company was the Pennsylvania Railroad; in the mid-20th century, it was General Motors; and in the late 20th century, it was Microsoft. Today's prototypical company, he declared in opening the conference, is Wal-Mart, which, he said, rezones American cities, sets wage standards and even conducts diplomacy with other nations. "In short, the company's management legislates for the rest of us key components of American social and industrial policy," Mr. Lichtenstein said. Wal-Mart has created a very different model from General Motors, he added, noting that G.M. helped build the world's most affluent middle class by paying wages far above the average and by providing generous health and pension plans. Mr. Lichtenstein said G.M.'s wage pattern spurred other companies to raise compensation levels, while Wal-Mart's relatively low wages and benefits — its workers average less than $18,000 a year — were doing just the opposite. The company's pay scale and hard-nosed labor practices, said Simon Head, a fellow at the Century Foundation and author of "The New Ruthless Economy: Work and Power in the Digital Age" (Oxford University Press, 2003) mean that "Wal-Mart is certainly a template of 21st-century capitalism, but a capitalism that increasingly resembles a capitalism of 100 years ago." He added, "It combines the extremely dynamic use of technology with a very authoritarian and ruthless managerial culture." We need to build a vision and a world that are better than Wal-Mart's.

The year 2019 marks the 50th anniversary of the Monaco and Tag Heuer is celebrating in true style by launching an entire range of five new watches paying a tribute to each decade of Monaco's historical existence. It was not long ago that we talked about the new TAG Heuer Monaco 1969-1979 watch, the first of the new five watch collection and here we are today with news on the second installment. The new Tag Heuer Monaco 1979-1989 limited edition features a sparkling bright red dial and makes a style statement reminiscent of the 80s.
With blue becoming the new black, the color red is slowly but steadily becoming the crowd pleaser amidst the group of people who are looking for something different. The red sunburst dial on this new watch is striking to look at and is quite reminiscent of watches from the 70s and 80s. Positioned at 3 and 9 are two sub-dials that give the dial a balanced look and rendered in a shade of silver they provide a nice contrast against the red background. The outer periphery features horizontally placed hour markers that give the watch a unique visual appeal, followed by a printed circular minute ring and a date window at 6 towards the inside. One of my favorite details on this dial is the subtle use of black in the form of circular plots at intervals of 5 and also the tip of the hour and minute hand.
Moving on to what makes a Monaco special, its case. Made from stainless the case bears a square shape and has a diameter of 39mm. But don't let the dimensions fool you as having tried one myself I can assure you that the watch wears larger than the dimensions might suggest and sits comfortably on the wrist offering a ton of presence. Like the unconventional case shape, another defining feature of this watch is the quirky setup of the physical button with the chronograph pushers at 2 and 4 on the right and the crown assembly at 3 on the left. The case is water resistant to a decent 100 meters.
Powering the watch is Tag Heuer's Caliber 11 which is a modular automatic chronograph movement with a Sellita at its base. The movement operates at a frequency of 4 Hz and offers a power reserve of 40 hours.
The Tag Heuer Monaco 1979-1989 limited edition watch is a funky take on an iconic sports chronograph. The watch would come attached to a perforated racing style black leather strap, limited to just 169 pieces and would retail at a price of USD 6,550.

IP version 6 (IPv6) address is 128 bits (16 bytes) long, that's 4 times
longer than IPv4 address. IPv6 address is written in eight
pairs of hexadecimal
numbers separated by a colon in between. Each pair of hexadecimal
numbers represents a byte. Example:
IPv6 was originally meant to increase the
number of available IP addresses from 232 (that's more
than 4 billion) to 2128 (use your calculator !)
to anticipate the exponential growth in the number of computers
and devices
that will be connected to the Internet. Later on, IP version 6 is intended to
provide QoS support over the Internet and introduce improvement in
routing, security, and network configuration. Many new networking
products support both IPv4 and IPv6 to take advantage of IPv6's
strength while maintaining support for the predominantly IPv4
Assignment : Try converting back
all IP addresses mentioned in this article into binary numbers
that will consist of bits 1 and 0.
Hint : For IPv4 addresses,
convert each decimal number set to a binary number. For IPv6
address, convert each pair of hexadecimal numbers to a binary

We grieve and rage at the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and Tony McDade, among the countless lives lost to state-sanctioned violence and anti-Black racism. We call for healing and justice for their families, and for the Black communities here in NYC that are hurting, angry, tired, ready for change; and for white colleagues, neighbors, family members, and peers to step up their listening and action.
As we mourn the pain and destruction done to these communities, we will continue to work toward a new way, one that lifts up Black lives. We know that to lift up Black folx is to lift us all. We stand with a nation longing for and demanding a humanity that can acknowledge the violent past and present, and take action to change it.
Community-Word Project believes in the power of language, with full knowledge that language too often has been used to manipulate and oppress.
Today, we use our voice to make clear where we stand, who we stand for, and the direct and actionable steps we believe need to be taken to protect our communities, and the students we serve. As we reflect on our practices and participation in systemic racism, we call on our community of fellow educators, administrators, government officials, supporters, neighbors, and partners to join us in committing to ongoing training on bias and power.
Educators, we ask you to join us in a commitment to:
Rigorously revisiting and revising curricula, training, and standards on an ongoing basis.
Evaluate and address how well curriculum and training lift up Black voices and Black experiences, including Black trans communities and black folx with disabilities. Examine and disrupt the role whiteness and white supremacy is playing in pedagogy.
Being reflective about how bias may be unintentionally playing out in our learning spaces, for example behavior management, expectations, assumptions about home life, celebrating successes.
Community-Based Organizations, we ask you to join us in a commitment to:
Amplifying the voices of Black artists, educators, researchers, and community leaders.
Critically examining human resource practices – including wage and hiring policies – which often focus more on protecting leadership than the entry- and mid-level staff compensation, which exacerbates the wealth gap.
Supporters, we ask you to join us in a commitment to:
Recognizing how generational wealth disproportionately benefits white individuals, while redlining, gentrification, and mass incarceration have stripped generations of Black communities of the opportunity to accumulate wealth, and to be safe and healthy.
Government officials, we ask you to commit to:
Stand in solidarity to amplify the message of the #BlackLivesMatter movement.
Allocate more funding for equitable access to education and less for policing our Black and Brown communities.
Acknowledge and take action on the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on the outer boroughs of Queens, Bronx, and Brooklyn.
Demilitarize and defund our police departments. Build platforms for the people to have a leading voice in creating safety for our communities.
Everyone, we ask you to:
Invest in your own education by taking part in anti-racist trainings and unpacking your implicit bias
Support and join non-violent protests advocating for the sanctity of Black lives in any way you are able.
We ask these actions of ourselves and our community. We want our students to know their voices are powerful, and their voices can change the world. We will hold ourselves accountable through ongoing self-reflection and action. We ask our community to do the same.
We do this work today because we believe in a better world for our students. Because we believe that #BlackLivesMatter. Yesterday. Today. Tomorrow.
We lift up student voices to make sure they are heard. We offer this poem written by one of our high schoolers at The Young Women's Leadership School in Queens. Please read and reflect.
"It ends with us"
by Justein
I'm not saying all lives don't matter
I'm just saying my life matters
they don't see danger when they see you
they do when they look at my brother
It never ended with my ancestors
but it will end with us
It never stopped with Rosa on the bus
but it will with us
An innocent man shot down, yet you expect us to
smile and be happy like clowns
How many more tears should we shed
when another black man is shot dead
How many mothers will cry
cause her son had to die?
Your son died, but why?
Is it because his nose isn't straight
or the thick curls in his hair?
Is it the color of his skin
or that his lips aren't that thin?
Do we only have to look like you
to actually fit in?
Do I have to look like you so I can live?
Why do you kill us for being bold and loving the way we were built?
I'm not saying All Lives Don't Matter, I'm just saying
Black People Are Killed!
Killed because of the way we were built
Trayvon, Philandro, Michael, Eric, and now George
How many more hashtags do you need
to feel our pain?
We cry today, then you spew hate like rain
No peace, no justice until you stop this
Stop killing us because you wish we didn't exist
It didn't end at Selma, but it will with us!
Now let's get to work.

Virtual reality is driving performance in the world of medicine!
Doctors are using medical VR to diagnose and treat patients with better accuracy, while first responders are using it to train in an immersive virtual world. Those that invest in an AR/VR platform are also finding tremendous value from performance evaluation.
AR/VR training can be used to evaluate how well people do what they are supposed to. There are many different ways to do this. Here we cover six ways AR/VR training can be used for performance evaluation. One way is overcoming the limitations of traditional training. Another one is setting individual and team benchmarks before classroom or live training events. It confirms whether the results from the traditional training translate into real life scenarios. You can also use it go beyond pass or fail measurement criteria, customize measurements and analytics to individual needs, and get a snapshot of your organization's mission-readiness.
6 Uses Of Virtual Reality In Medicine Are:
- Overcome limitations of traditional training
- Set individual and team benchmarks prior to the classroom or live training events
- Confirm training results translate into real-world scenarios
- Go beyond pass/fail measurement criteria
- Customize measurements and analytics to the organization and individual needs
- Get a snapshot of overall organization mission-readiness
Changing Medical Training Performance Evaluation
Virtual Reality has so many opportunities for the medical field! From physical therapy to clinical!
Doctors are using VR to diagnose and treat patients with better accuracy, while first responders are using it to train in an immersive environment. However, there are a lot more uses for VR in medicine than these two uses that we want to share with you!
We've compiled a list of 6 uses of AR/VR training to evaluate performance in emergency response training.
Overcoming The Limitations Of Traditional Medical Education
Going Beyond Role-Playing Or Simulations
Traditional training has its limitations, and AR/VR can help overcome these. The main limitation of traditional training is that it uses either role-playing or simulations to educate people on the use of medical equipment in emergency situations. These types of training are limited because they only provide a picture of what might happen; there's no real consequence for mistakes made.
This new technology allows for the learning of various tasks performed on the human body without ever having to train in a live patient. This is extremely beneficial for medical groups teaching because the medical students would get a more personal in-depth virtual world.
Virtual reality software allows us access to the hands-on practical experience that is necessary and comfortable to perform procedures, but it also provides a comfortable setting in the controlled environment. Obviously, medical professionals are not able to cut open a patient and perform on them just to practice.
The closest to that would be shadowing a superior doing a procedure or assisting. Of course, that real-life training is extremely valuable but it's just not as accessible as VR/AR training. And its ability to be repeated for practice it undeniable! It is difficult for a person to understand how they perform in those high-pressure situations.
How can someone know if what you're doing is right or wrong? Is there something that's keeping them from performing well under stress and pressure? ATS has the ability to collect performance data on individuals during these critical moments, which will allow people who are not present at this time to better help assess any errors made by an individual.
Setting Individual And Team Benchmarks
Prior To The Classroom Or Live Training Events
One high-quality way to train and evaluate performance is using AR/VR technology. It can be used as a tool for training individuals, teams, or organizations on how to react during emergency situations in order to maintain safety and provide the best care possible. The ability of VR to simulate medical situations in the real world allows the student to use it as well as the real world. This is followed by feedback and a briefing that will help them learn from their mistakes. And the wonderful part about the virtual reality platform is its accessibility.
This accessibility is such a game-changer for students in the medical field. We know that real in-person training isn't going anywhere and it shouldn't because it is admittedly vital to training. But imagine if your trainees and students had the ability to get completely elevate and accelerate the benefits of that in-person training! That's what Virtual Reality provides!
They'll be able to become visually familiar with much of their criteria and once they have hands-on training they won't be going in not knowing what to expect overall accelerating the learning process tremendously! Virtual reality technology not only helps with simulating in-person training like surgical procedures but it can also be used to elevate traditional classroom medical education. For example, if a group of medical students was given instructions to study and memorize the whole human anatomy, they would then be able to use their VR goggles and see a virtual reality simulation of a human body where they could take a human anatomy assessment through virtual reality.
"…what a wonderful way to get somebody prepared for an actual training event that is live."
– Dr. Gil Salazar, EMS Physician and Assoc. Prof. of Emergency Medicine at UT Southwestern
Confirm Training Results Translate Into Real-World Scenarios
Data Proves Virtual Reality Training Works
Frequent uses of AR/VR training in medical settings include the evaluation of new procedures, equipment, and treatments. However, what about evaluating how well people learn a procedure? Let's say you are an emergency responder who needs to quickly assess whether or not someone has undergone CPR successfully. During your assessment, it is crucial that you can accurately determine this. Another we can test their results is using metrics and outcomes.
For example, if you wanted to test a student's comprehension of where certain important medical items are you would have them run through a situation where they need said items and monitor how long it takes to find them and if they're the correct item for the task. Then to take it a step further and translate that into real life we would have them run through the same task and similar as you can and then compare to see if they've improved their overall knowledge and memory.
Go Beyond Pass/Fail Measurement Criteria
Multi-Dimension Performance View
At ATS we really believe in going beyond the Pass or Fail criteria. We want to break this normal training habit to better improve the overall training experience. Normally it's just pass or fail on some type of test. Or some type of Yes or No scenario on a task. But this format is only half of the overall process. With VR you have the ability to see in detail how a person is really performing and properly track their progression.
VR is able to measure not just the outcome of skill, but also how long it took for you to perform each step. This way when doctors and nurses are faced with an emergency situation they can quickly access your past performance data- including any mistakes you may have made in order to find out what went wrong during that specific instance so as not to repeat those same mistakes again. This is an overall more efficient way to train for the trainees and also the teachers but also the people they serve.
Customize Measurements and Analytics For Organization and Individual Needs
Data-Driven Training Analysis
The information is analyzed in real-time, so it can be used to provide feedback on the performance of individuals or teams as well as improving training programs for others within the organization. The customization allows you to see all your progress over time without having to look through countless reports.
For example, if you wanted to see how many times someone uses a certain technique in order to improve or decrease the number of errors. If want to know what was your longest time spent on this task and how well did you do overall there's also an option for that as well. This is all data-driven training which helps from start to finish.
Like we've mentioned earlier virtual reality technology creates a virtual environment where medical students and medical practitioners can learn and practice certain scenarios ranging from surgical techniques in the operating room to minimally invasive procedures or a even a patient's anatomy. All of this can be monitored and customized to fit a teams or individuals goals!
That's just another great benefit of the virtual reality tools provided by the VR experience!
Medical Professionals Using Virtual Reality To Elevate Patient Care!
Taking Medical VR To The Next Level
Virtual reality and augmented reality aren't exclusively used just to further the medical education of healthcare professionals but its also used to bridge the gap between patients and those serving them. Virtual reality and augmented reality uses in medicine can be used to help patients understand their condition, get through an illness or disease with as little discomfort as possible.
A tremendously great feature of virtual reality is being able to improve the communication skills between students and medical professional. Using the VR headsets the patients would be able to experience and better understand their own conditions and procedures. Not only that but virtual reality can also be applied to therapy and patient recovery.
Not a widely known concept yet but with virtual reality, augmented reality and physical therapy working together VR therapy is a growing part of the VR patient experience. Using the virtual reality headset patients will be able to experience therapeutic VR. Virtual Reality rehabilitation can be applied to such patients with chronic pain as pain management. And for patients with a mental health medical condition using the very customizable computer-generated environment, we can attempt to give them exactly what they need to feel safe. This allows those treating them to monitor their progress from multiple angles and better understand their patients!

Training Performance, Response Times and Alertness levels
The uses of AR/VR in medicine are endless. The comfort and safety it provides for both the student as well as the patient being treated will lead to more successful outcomes at a time when we need them most. It's also an excellent way to assess training performance, response times, and alertness levels. It especially gives supervisors a look at how the group is performing overall and allows the the trainees to see how they rank aside their peers.
For example, if you're a firefighter and need to see how long it takes for your team to rescue someone from an emergency. When faced with this type of situation the uses of VR will be invaluable because in such cases there is no room for mistakes or failures as so many lives are at stake. The scenario can be modified in various dimensions including levels of stress to apply within the virtual experience. Running this data across the unit enables commanders and chiefs to get an understanding of where each person is in regards to skill, response and stress management.

Antibiotic, Anti-Infective
Product Information
General Information:
AdvaCare is a GMP manufacturer of Amoxicillin powder for suspension.
Amoxicillin Powder for Suspension (amoxycillin) is a moderate-spectrum, bacteriolytic, beta-lactam antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections caused by susceptible microorganisms.
Amoxicillin suspension is usually the drug of choice within the class because it is better absorbed, following oral administration than other beta-lactam antibiotics.
It is also sometimes used together with other antibiotics to treat other infections. Amoxicillin suspension is used to treat many different types of infections caused by bacteria, such as ear infections, bladder infections, pneumonia, gonorrhea, and E. coli or salmonella infection.
Side Effects:
As with all pharmaceuticals, some unwanted effects can occur from the use of amoxicillin. Always consult a doctor or health care professional for medical advice before use amoxicillin suspension.
Common side effects include, but may not be limited to nausea, rashes, diarrhea, and vomiting.
Seek medical attention if the following develop: confusion, anxiety, insomnia, mental changes – lightheadedness, sensitivity to light and sounds, and unclear thinking, or if any reactions to amoxicillin occur; including flu-like symptoms, swelling, or difficulty breathing.

Additional Information
Always consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking amoxicillin powder for suspension. In particular, talk to your health care providers in case of allergic reactions. If you are taking other medicines, or you think you may need to use an alternative form of amoxicillin, always remember to ask your doctor's opinion first. In these cases it's useful to keep with you a list of all the drugs you are taking. Talk to him before starting any new cure as well, vitamins and natural products included.
If your condition does not improve or becomes worse, then call your health care providers. Never use this medicine for a longer period of time than you have been told by your doctor or in smaller/larger doses.
Driving or operating machinery should be avoided until you know how amoxicillin affects you, as it may cause an adverse reaction.
Do NOT use amoxicillin powder for suspension if:
- You are allergic to amoxicillin, cephalosporins, or to any other penicillin antibiotic;
- You have asthma, liver or kidney disease, a bleeding clotting disorder, or mononucleosis;
- You are taking a tetracycline antibiotic.
Use of amoxicillin suspension during pregnancy or breastfeeding does not appear to be harmful. Consult your doctor or health care professional before taking amoxicillin.
Indications and Usage
In order to avoid the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of amoxicillin and other antibacterial drugs, amoxicillin for oral suspension should be used only to treat infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by bacteria.
Administration and Dosage
Refer to your doctor or pharmacist for guidelines on dosage. Do not exceed what they advise. The usual dosage for adults is 500mg. The usual dosage for children is 40mg – 90mg a day depending on age and body weight. Do not take amoxicillin with alcohol. Consult with your doctor for any doubts or questions before you start your treatment with amoxicillin.
Among the drugs which may interact with amoxicillin powder for suspension we can include: probenecid, which decreases the renal tubular secretion of amoxicillin (concurrent use of amoxicillin and probenecid may result in increased and prolonged blood levels of amoxicillin); oral anticoagulants (appropriate monitoring and adjustments in the dose of oral anticoagulants may be necessary when anticoagulants are prescribed concurrently); allopurinol, which administered at the same time of amoxicillin increases the incidence of rashes; oral contraceptives (amoxicillin can reduce efficacy of combined oral estrogen/progesterone contraceptives); other antibacterial drugs such as chloramphenicol, macrolides, sulfonamides, and tetracycline that may interfere with the bactericidal effects of penicillin.
Amoxicillin may also affect the results of some laboratory tests.
For a comprehensive list of the medicines which may interact with amoxicillin, talk to your doctor, pharmacist or health care specialists.
If you take a larger dose than you should take, tell your doctor, pharmacist or health care specialist immediately even if you don't feel bad. Bring with you the container and tell them about the amount you took and related timing.
Adverse Reactions and Precautions
Amoxicillin is contraindicated in patients who have experienced a serious hypersensitivity reaction such as anaphylaxis or Stevens-Johnson syndrome to amoxicillin or to other β-lactam antibiotic like penicillin and cephalosporin.
Severe and deadly hypersensitivity anaphylactic reactions have been recorded in patients who chose penicillin as a treatment, including amoxicillin. These reactions are more likely to occur in individuals with a history of penicillin hypersensitivity and/or a history of sensitivity to multiple allergens. To avoid undesired reactions, before starting the treatment with amoxicillin, careful inquiry should be made regarding previous hypersensitivity reactions to the above-mentioned.
Adverse reactions identified during post-marketing use of penicillin include: infections and infestations as mucocutaneous candidiasis, gastrointestinal problems such as black hairy tongue, and hemorrhagic/pseudomembranous colitis; hypersensitivity reactions as anaphylaxis ; serum sickness–like reactions, erythematous maculopapular rashes, erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, exfoliative dermatitis, toxic epidermal necrolysis, acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis, hypersensitivity vasculitis, and urticarial; liver diseases such as hepatic dysfunction including cholestatic jaundice, hepatic cholestasis and acute cytolytic hepatitis; renal problems lik crystalluria; hemic and lymphatic systems problems such as anemia, including hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, thrombocytopenic purpura, eosinophilia, leukopenia, and agranulocytosis (these reactions are usually reversible on discontinuation of therapy and are believed to be hypersensitivity phenomena); central nervous system such as reversible hyperactivity, agitation, anxiety, insomnia, confusion, convulsions, behavioral changes, and/or dizziness have been reported; miscellaneous problems such as tooth discoloration (brown, yellow, or gray staining), which is usually reversible.
