|Krystal Wade
Natalie Wright (NW): Your new release Wilde's Fire just hit the shelves and I am loving it! You went with an Indie publishing house, Noble Young Adult, to publish Wilde's Fire. Can you tell us a little about your path to publication?
Krystal Wade (KW): My path was short. Horror stories circulate about how people wait months, years—decades even—before their novel sees the light of day. I'm impatient—very, very impatient—so, I decided not to query an agent to reach a NY house. I researched medium-sized publishers and found one I thought was "the one", subbed to them, and never heard back. Not a word. Not, 'we've received your query and it will be x amount of days' . . . nothing. So, I kept reworking my novel, changing it up, gathering beta data, and researching more publishers. A friend of mine mentioned Noble Romance opened a YA arm. I sent them the first three chapters of Wilde's Fire, and three days later, they wanted the rest. There you have it.
NW: Wow! Three days? That's almost unheard of! But the quick response I think relates to the strength of your story. And what about your experience with Noble Young Adult – what has that been like for you?
KW: A whirlwind. I've learned so much about publication (both sides: author and publisher). I've learned as impatient as I am, I am also a control freak. J
NW: One thing I've noticed is that your book is very well edited – both for content and for grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc. What was the editing process like?
KW: Thank you. That means the world to me. One thing I'm afraid of is that some reviewer will say "Hey! You goofed, you idiot!" Luckily, that hasn't happened yet. I work with a team of writers. Sarah Ballance and Dawna Raver are my critique partners, and they ruthlessly read and edited my chapters before I sent to beta readers. I also use a service called Grammarly. This is all before my editor got her hands on Wilde's Fire. She taught me about impossible simultaneous actions and about Noble's house style for commas. But other than that, there wasn't much for her to correct. My team is awesome!
NW: In Wilde's Fire, your main character, Kate, accidentally ends up in another world – world full of danger. What was your inspiration for this other world?
KW: Really good question. I had no inspiration for her other world. Years ago, when I first tried to write her story, all I had was an image of her reaching out to touch something shimmering in the forest. The rest of the story was blank, dark, non-existent. So, I guess it's kind of ironic I sent her into a world without light.
NW: Do you have any news to share about your work?
KW: Wilde's Fire has claimed the #1 Best Selling spot on Noble YA's website for two weeks in a row. That's amazing. I'm next to some great talent. One of these days, maybe I'll see #1 on Amazon. What do you think?
NW: That's great Krystal! Shoot for the stars. What books have you written so far?
KW: Wilde's Army, Darkness Falls Book Two, is complete and in my editor's red-penning hands. The third book in the trilogy is near completion, but my muse told me to finish an urban fantasy (currently untitled) I started last year. So, I'm obeying. That one is coming along quickly and I already have a publisher lined up! Keeping the details mum though.
NW: Urban fantasy - I'm in! When you are ready to share the deets, come back and chat about it!
What is your favorite scene from Wilde's Fire and why?
KW: I have so many scenes I'm in love with, but I think what I love the most, is when Kate is utterly deflated. Arland asks her to draw out what happened as a way to make her feel better. She draws a stick figure in the dirt then stabs it through the heart. His advice didn't help. And I love her attitude.
NW: What genre do you write in?
KW: I write mostly fantasy, but a few times I've dabbled in suspense. My urban fantasy might be described as a thriller/suspense/fantasy. LOL. Say that ten times fast.
NW: Which character from your books do you like most / are most like?
KW: Flanna. She says everything I'm afraid to.
NW: If you walked through a portal to dimension without books, what three books do you want to take with you?
KW: The Hunger Games . . . all three.
NW: I'd pick the Hunger Games too but when asked this question, I "cheat" and count the series as one book, LOL! Who is your favorite author and why?
KW: My favorite author is, coincidentally, not my favorite writer. Does this make sense? I love Maggie Stiefvater. Her books are good, but it's her personality I'm drawn to. Her vlogs, her blogs. She's unique, and her voice carries into everything she writes. She's quite amazing, but I wasn't happy with the Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy.
NW: I totally agree with what you just said. I think that for authors trying to build their "brand," they should study Maggie Stiefvater - not to copy her, but to see how she so successfully puts the "real Maggie" out there in everything she does and it is compelling.
NW:Describe your perfect Saturday.
KW: Waking up to the sound of birds singing, not kids screaming. A cup of coffee brought to me by my loving husband, breakfast in bed, someone propping pillows under my feet and feeding me grapes—Oh, wait, you didn't want reality, did you?
Thank you Krystal for stopping by my blog today and chatting. I HIGHLY recommend you check out Krystal's book and get to know her on Facebook, etc.

INCLUSIVE growth is necessary in order for the Philippines to sustain its growth momentum according to Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III.
In a recent speech before the Economic Journalists Association of the Philippines (EJAP), Dominguez pointed out that in the Philippines, market information and other issues related to the economy are kept from ordinary Filipinos and exchanged within a narrow section of the population, "a testament to our economy being an exclusive rather than an inclusive one."
"This situation cannot persist for too long. Unless our economy becomes truly inclusive, with ordinary folk making market decisions and shaping economic development, we cannot sustain a high-growth momentum," he stressed.
He cited the "magnified role" of economic journalists in emerging economies like the Philippines to make the economy "inclusive" for ordinary people, who rely on the news not only to get the facts straight but also to widen their financial and economic literacy.
"You, the economic journalists, are the evangelists of modern economic thinking. We can push the reforms only as far as our citizens grasp the strategic significance of what we are trying to do," Dominguez added.
Singapore's Example
As an example of an inclusive economy, Dominguez mentioned that it is no longer surprising to see cab drivers in Singapore scanning the newspapers' stocks pages and analyzing the performance of listed companies while waiting for passengers because, they, too, invest in the stock market.
"In these advanced economies, the capital markets are as deep-rooted as the economy is inclusive. Regardless of what their day jobs are, ordinary citizens help drive up the savings and investment rates by participating in financial products. The man-on-the-street is involved in market decisions that make the economy what it is," he continued.
The finance chief said the reforms being implemented and pushed by the Duterte administration are meant not only to sustain the high growth rate at 7 percent and reduce poverty by 14 percent in 2022, but also aims to widen the base of economic decision-making in the country to include ordinary folk.
Dominguez said the Duterte administration can only go so far in pushing the reforms it wants to do, which is why it needs the support of economic journalists whose ability to communicate would allow people to understand the confusing jargon and the strategic importance of the government's plan to sustain high growth and make it a truly inclusive one.
"I look forward to working closely with you in the coming weeks and months. Ours is a common crusade to build the economic literacy of our public. That lays the real foundation for inclusive economic growth," Dominguez pointed out.
He also averred the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) expansion of 6.8 percent in 2016 underscored a domestic economy in "pretty good shape" and well on its way to sustaining its growth momentum over the medium term, on the back of the Duterte administration's bold initiatives to keep it on its upward trajectory despite global market volatility.
Dominguez explained that "the fast GDP expansion has buoyed government expectations of meeting its growth targets in 2017 and, with the hoped-for timely congressional approval of the first package of the CTRP, of sustaining its ambitious inclusive-growth agenda to attract more investments, create enough jobs, reduce the poverty incidence by almost half, and transform the Philippines into an upper middle-income country by 2022."
He said the economy is well positioned to grow between 6.5 percent to 7 percent this year—as projected by most international and local financial institutions and experts—given "the government's resolve to further strengthen its macroeconomic fundamentals and maintain solid buffers to cushion the effects of global unknowns like the coming US Federal Reserve hikes and inward-looking or protectionist policies by certain countries that could undermine international trade."

Original Post Here:
Scene: The Recently completed ARGENT COLISEUM. HARDCORE enters from stage right. He is resplendent in Tier 8.5 and hard mode epics. CASUAL enters from stage left. He is wearing mostly blues and two pieces of Hateful Gladiator PVP gear; he carries a Titansteel Destroyer, dragging it behind him as though it is very heavy. They regard each other contemptuously, then they both look ruefully toward the COLISEUM, and then back to each other.
Hardcore: I hate you.
Casual: And I hate you.
Both: And both of us hate Three-point-two!
Hardcore: What the hell is this Crusade?
Casual: We don't need another raid!
Hardcore: Four timers a week for the same content? This grind is without precedent!
Casual: Exalted rep for daily quests? Why such demands? This game's a mess!
Both: This is the worst patch that we've seen yet! I can't believe that they nerfed Ret. Please revert the game to one-point-eight, because you've added all this stuff we hate!
Hardcore: Free Conquest epics from heroics mock the work that I have done.
Casual: His weapon's much better than mine, so I'm not having any fun.
Hardcore: But you don't need good gear anyway.
Casual: I'm owed rewards for all I play.
Hardcore: You can't be playing all that much.
Casual: Six hours a day; odd times, and such.
Hardcore: PUG groups clear Naxx, haven't you heard?
Casual: No time to raid, you silly nerd.
Both: This is the worst patch we've ever had. King Varian Wrynn is a deadbeat dad. This game was best before B.C. It will just get worse in Three-point-three!
Casual: I own the place in Battlegrounds. We sometimes win when I'm around. You're only in the Gulch to grind; you let them win when we're a cap behind. Now it's over all too fast. I really like my games to last.
Hardcore: What's the deal with all your hating? What is your arena rating?
Casual: Arena doesn't measure skills. Look at all my honor kills.
Hardcore: I wiped and wiped on Malygos, and hard-mode Sarth with every drake. His gear's as good from Violet Hold, that place is such a piece of cake. My guild and I, we work and struggle, 'til we persevere at last. And now you give him epic loot, though he won't learn to play his class.
Casual: What does it matter what I've got? You seem to care an awful lot.
Hardcore: I've got a right to two-shot you. My God, I hate this Three-Point-Two.
(They /dance)
A Chorus of NIGHT ELF BEAR FORM DRUIDS enter.
Druids: This is the worst patch we can recall. We do not like our new art at all. We want to have the old art back. We look so dumb when we attack.
All: This is the worst patch we've ever had. Even Ahn'Qiraj was not this bad. We need unique art for each class set. And we need more buffs for Ret.
Hardcore: Buffs for Ret!
Druids: And Moonkins too!
Casual: Buffs for Ret!
All: Yes we need more buffs for Ret!
(Pause for applause)

"Reiki – a healing technique based on the principle that the therapist can channel energy into the patient by means of touch, to activate the natural healing processes of the patient's body and restore physical and emotional wellbeing"
– Oxford English Dictionary
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is a simple, non-invasive healing system, which powerfully promotes wholeness and health for the mind and body.
It is based on the principle that there is a powerful 'life force energy' that flows through us all and which causes us to be alive.
If our life force energy is low or depleted, the possibility of getting sick is higher, and we are more likely to experience feelings of stress. If our life force energy is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
Reiki was developed by Mikao Usui in the early 20th century. It has been used as a healing system in the UK since the late 1900s, but Eastern medicine has worked with this energy for thousands of years, recognising its flow through all living things.
Reiki can be used to support orthodox medicine, or can be used alone. It does not replace traditional medication or treatments.
IMAGE: Marivi Pazos
IMAGE: Kosal Ley
Reiki treats the whole person, and when you have a treatment you feel as though you are experiencing a wonderful glowing radiance, through and around you. Reiki treats body, mind, emotions and spirit, and creates many beneficial effects that include relaxation, and feelings of peace and wellbeing.
The ability to use Reiki is not taught in the usual sense, but is transferred to a student during a Reiki class. This ability is passed on during an 'attunement' given by a Reiki master, and allows the student to tap into an unlimited supply of 'life force energy' to improve one's health and enhance the quality of life.
Whilst Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion and has no dogma associated with it. There is nothing you must believe in order to learn and use reiki. In fact reiki is not dependent on belief at all and it will work whether you believe in it or not.
Further information concerning Reiki can be found on the FAQs page.
Get in Touch
Scientific research using quantum physics is starting to help us understand how Reiki may work to benefit the individual. In the future, it has been suggested it may become known as energy medicine, based on scientifically measurable energy emitted from the healer's hands. If you are interested in finding out more about reiki and how it can help you, please get in touch.

C´s shop is very full and transportation of disassembled engines is not necessarily easy, so i made a prototype cabinet on rollers with a detachable undercarriage. Easier said then done as always, some of the oak blocks had to get added functionality like the rear engine mount got hinges to allow the cases to rotate down in the cutout. The basic cabinet was so flimsy that I had to weld some square tubing to the undercarriage otherwize it would not have been possible to detach without it falling apart. Took pictures before it was finished and it actually turned out allright.

SAISD teacher named finalist for 2018 Texas Teacher of the Year
Lamar's Andrea Lucas named finalist for 2018 Texas Teacher of the Year
Andrea Lucas, a 4th-grade teacher at Lamar Elementary in San Antonio ISD, has been named one of six finalists for 2018 Texas Teacher of the Year. The announcement was made Aug. 21 by the Texas Association of School Administrators.
This honor places her in the running for Texas Teacher of the Year, the highest honor the State of Texas can bestow upon a teacher.
To recognize her achievement, the SAISD Foundation today presented Lucas with $500.
"Today we recognize six Texas educators who show true dedication to their students," said TASA Executive Director Johnny L. Veselka in a news release. "They represent the thousands of devoted educators across our state who inspire students to excel both in and beyond the classroom."
Lucas was one of 40 Texas Regional Teachers of the Year. She learned she was the 2018 Elementary Teacher of the Year for Education Service Center, Region 20 in a surprise announcement in front of her students Aug. 17.
A panel of judges composed of representatives of Texas teacher associations and the 2017 Texas Teacher of the Year finalists selected this year's six finalists from those 40 Texas Regional Teachers of the Year – one elementary and one secondary teacher from each of the 20 Texas Education Service Center regions.
"When a school builds a culture of learning amongst the staff, teachers are more likely to open their doors, take risks, and see themselves as reflective practitioners," said Lucas, who is beginning her 14th year in the classroom. "I am lucky to be at such a school. We have worked to grow a shared vision and continuously learn together. We examine our teaching practices to find what works best for our students. Our morale is high, and we feel we have a voice in our campus decisions."
Lucas and the other five finalists will be invited to Austin in September for interviews before a panel of judges composed of representatives of educational leadership associations, community and business leaders, a member of the State Board for Educator Certification, a member of the state Board of Education, and prior Texas Teachers of the Year.
The panel will select two state-level winners – Elementary Teacher of the Year and Secondary Teacher of the Year – and designate one to represent Texas in the National Teacher of the Year program. The winners will be announced at an awards ceremony Sept. 15 at the Bullock Texas State History Museum in Austin, where the 40 Regional Teachers of the Year also will be recognized.
TASA has coordinated the Texas Teacher of the Year program since 2011. Since 1969, the program has honored excellence in classroom education and provided a forum to showcase many outstanding educators whose efforts and example have inspired their students, colleagues and the communities they serve.

CleanItSupply.com Follows Trends to Top of Cleaning Suppliers on the Internet
Dan Dillon
By Michael Kleiner
When Dan Dillon walked away from the family janitorial services company after it was sold 10 years ago, he wanted to go start a different online business that he could clean up in.
Dan decided to utilize what he knew best and leverage that with the trends he foresaw in the business world. That meant staking his new career on the Internet with CleanItSupply.com. When e-commerce was new, it was recommended that a business have a brick and mortar store to back it up. Now, that e-commerce has proliferated on the Internet, the brick and mortar stores have struggled to sustain themselves.
"Brick and mortar is a dying breed," said Dan, whose company is located in Jeffersonville. "That business was not the future. Online was the future. Here's a quick stat. In 1991, there were 24,000 brick and mortar distributors in my industry. By 2006, it was half, and now less than 3,000.
"My story is that I'm a janitorial e-commerce entrepreneur. Since I grew up in a commercial janitorial service business, I had experience cleaning carpets, refinishing floors, shining surfaces, servicing offices, and scrubbing toilet bowls. I became familiar with a lot of products. I possess hands down, good solid information for the janitorial industry. I figured that I could lend that expertise to janitorial service companies to help them choose the right products to use. I went from janitor to online janitorial supplies entrepreneur."
In 2006, Dan started CleanItSupply.com. "There was a void in the market place," he said. "There was no Internet site selling strictly janitorial products. There was an opportunity to grow from there. We're online, but we have a sales staff that can take calls, add people to the database and help customers, both worldwide and local."
The site is extensive and wide-ranging. It's also responsive, fully functional and easy to navigate. There are high quality pictures and enhanced descriptions. There are product videos starring Dan as Danny D on CleanItTV. "CleanItSupply.com is the online superstore of janitorial supplies with a value add," he said.
There are over 65,000 products on CleanItSupply.com, with more than 2,000 green products. Dan says the line is dimming between green and "non-green" products.
"Everyone is trying to be green," he said. "It's a trend we recognized. The technology has allowed for better performance."
Staples has diversified its offerings, now selling breakroom and cleaning supplies. Similarly, in addition to janitorial supplies, CleanItSuppy.com sells restaurant, snack and breakroom, and office supplies, industrial and safety and technology products, ink and toner and office furniture. Again, there was a trend Dan saw and took advantage of it.
"We realized we touched distinct consumers," he said. "They enjoyed the one stop shop. In all these industries, the same person is making the same purchases for the other items. About 51% of our customers are residential, 49% are commercial, but 80% of our revenue comes from the commercial customers. Companies and services buy in high volume, while a resident will go to the web site, and want to buy one of a product. We'll sell an individual item to whet the appetite. About 70% of our clients are repeat customers. That is why our company slogan is Everyone is our Customer."
Due to a demand in the marketplace, Dan recently started D&D CleanIt Janitorial Services, and it is rapidly growing. He related, "We have 90 employees. We've leveraged our ability to market on the Internet and apply that knowledge, which has really grown the business in a very short amount of time. What still sets us apart in the janitorial supply and service business is that we know what's trending on the .com side of businesses and can apply that knowledge to grow our customer base."
The CleanIt Companies cleaning duties extend beyond business to their many community service activities. They clean rivers and donate bags to clean up playgrounds. Using social media, they promoted a flash mob cleanup at LOVE Park in Philadelphia. In 25 minutes, they collected 25 bags of garbage.
"We're in business to make money, but that's not my prime intention," Dan said. "I want to give back to the community. If people buy something as a byproduct, that's the cherry on top, but that's not the intention. You would not think a service company would be e-commerce and socially responsible. It's good, old fashioned business. I enjoy a pleasant experience eating at a restaurant and having great service. So many businesses are getting away from that. CleanItSupply has a great reputation in the industry. We're a Google Trusted Store, which is based on customer performance. When people buy from you and like you, that adds value. We have great products and our employees guide customers in the right direction. What I enjoy is hiring new employees. I watch others prosper from what we're doing as a team. I don't worship the dollar. We're the largest online janitorial service supplier. That's a reflection of our team."
Even in the online world, he could never take the personal touch out of the business.

In some versions of the Aesop's fable the bird is a stork, while in other versions the bird is a crane, and in other versions a heron. Any long-beaked bird will do! I've collected different English versions and illustrations here, and the one I've chosen to include is the version by Thomas James:
A Wolf had got a bone stuck in his throat, and in the greatest agony ran up and down, beseeching every animal he met to relieve him, at the same time hinting at a very handsome reward to the successful operator.
A Crane, moved by his entreaties and promises, ventured her long neck down the Wolf's throat, and drew out the bone. She then modestly asked for the promised reward.
To which, the Wolf, grinning and showing his teeth, replied with seeming indignation, "Ungrateful Creature! To ask for any other reward than that you have put your head into a Wolf's jaws, and brought it safe out again!"
Those who are charitable only in the hope of a return, must not be surprised if, in their dealings with evil men, they meet with more jeers than thanks.
Here is an illustration by Grandville:

Finally, CT gets a life as 'champs' spar
World champions Australia and defending champions West Indies come together on a crumbling track in a Group A encounter, reports Akshay Sawai.india Updated: Oct 18, 2006 11:50 IST
The ChampionsTrophy at least has the sound of one now. Wednesday will bring together world champions Australia and defending champions West Indies on a crumbling, contentious Brabourne Stadium track in a Group A encounter.
On Monday, New Zealand bowled South Africa out for 108 after themselves making just 195. The wicket was slow and turned more than the revolving restaurant at the Ambassador Hotel opposite the ground, sparking criticism from South African captain Graeme Smith, who called the wicket "not up to international standards".
Taking into consideration the pitch, Australian captain Ricky Ponting revealed they could draft young off-spinner Dan Cullen in against the West Indians.
Ponting also made it clear that the in-form Shane Watson would open the innings with Adam Gilchrist and not Simon Katich by virtue of a better strike rate.
Watson also bowls fast medium-pace and will be the third seamer after spearheads Brett Lee and Glenn McGrath.
West Indies will be without fast bowler Corey Collymore. Collymore has returned home to be with his wife, who is expecting their first child.
This is the first group match that the two teams are playing. The West Indies, though, have played three qualifying games. That gives them the advantage of having had a feel of the conditions in match situations. Australia have only played practice games so far. None of them were at the Brabourne.
West Indies captain Brian Lara drew encouragement from this fact, not to mention their victory over the Kangaroos in the DLF Cup in Malaysia and their status as title-holders.
"We've played on this pitch before, they haven't," Lara said on Tuesday. "We're the defending champions and we've defeated them in Kuala Lumpur. We're going to do our best."
Ponting said, "They've had tougher cricket under their belt compared to us in this tournament so far. But we've filmed the last two matches at this ground (South Africa vs New Zealand and West Indies vs Sri Lanka) and will learn from that. It's all about adapting. We've had wins in all kind of conditions. The wicket in Malaysia, for instance, wasn't batsman-friendly either."
Asked for his views on the track, Lara was diplomatic. "Both teams have to play on the same pitch," he said. "Besides, the Cricket Club of India has done its best to prepare a good wicket. We've analysed the situation. If we bat first, we would want to put up a total that is defendable."
The statement would win Lara the 'Saying the Obvious award'. But that is not what he would be looking for. The gifted Trinidadian would want runs on the board, unlike against Sri Lanka, when Farveez Maharoof cleaned up the his team for 80.
And Australia present a tougher challenge. In addition to the speed gang, they have slow bowlers like Brad Hogg and Michael Clarke (left-arm spin) and allrounder Andrew Symonds' off spin.
As Ponting said, "Symonds and Clarke will be handy with the ball in these conditions."
Australia's rippling batting makes their prospects rosier. They have the contemptuous Adam Gilchrist and the capable Watson at the top. The unhesitant Ponting is at No. 3.
The hunger and versatility of the two Michaels, Hussey and Clarke, the elegance of Damien Martyn and the brute force of Symonds brings them within touching distance of impregnability.
If there's anything that can stop well-lubed winning machines like Australia, it is unpredictability. Fortunately, from the point of view of the West Indies and the public, that is there in good measure for Wednesday's contest.
It is in the wicket. It is in the West Indian side. The likes of Lara and the cockily casual Chris Gayle can tear a match away from the opposition if they hit their stride.
"There are two targets for us in this game, Gayle and Lara," said Ponting.
Fans will be hoping that the Aussies don't silence them too easily and they get to see a nice, salty confrontation.

What a cheapskate!!!!
The owner of the straggly Brahman bull went into Mackay yesterday specifically to buy beer to give to the owner of the Droughtmaster girls who may be pregnant to this bastard..
I suggested buying some scotch also for the wife as she does all the office management work. Suggested a good few cartons of grog to cover the expense and the great inconvenience of it all.
HUH!!!!! He came back with 3 cartons of beer and a litre bottle of Johhny Walker! THEN..... he's too gutless to drive over to give it to them. He leaves it here for us to do that.
Sooooo.... if he EVER expects anything from me, he is up shit creek without a paddle... big time.
My partner is too gutless to give him a mouthful. He will come to visit and EXPECT coffee. Fat chance from me, I can tell you.
Still to come is the preg. testing and the giving of the injections to the positive testing cows to abort the foetuses.
All worth a bloody lot more than 3 cartons of grog and a litre of grog!!!!.


text: My niece bought me a microphone/headphone combination for my pc, but after I put in a new motherboard and windows 10 the microphone plug doesn't work on my front of the case, but it will work on the one in the back. Problem is the green headphone can't be used because the speakers are plugged into the green plug slot. Is there an extension or something that I can plug into the green headphone jack and be able to reach the headphones plug on my speakers? I really don't feel like getting on my knees each time I want to use the headphones because I would have to unplug the pink for microphone and be able to reach the green headphones plug.

Easter Sunday, Lyn has already made the baskets for the grandkids… the eggs are filled with treats… We take some time to go hide eggs before the kids get here. Pink is for Harper, Purple for Ella and Jack's are Blue! We hide some out front, in the living area of the house and a few out in the backyard.
The kids arrive, the little ones spot the baskets on the table but I hold them back (or at least try to!). We go ahead and have them give Claire her gift and share a birthday card with Scott. Then it is Basket Time…. They have fun intently examining the contents of candy and toys.
They gather the baskets now to collect eggs… we head outside front first, then do inside before finishing in the back yard. The kids have so much fun with this and we do too, watching their joy. (see the pictures!)
Later we have a nice meal together and Lyn fixed Pork Chops with the fixings which all seemed to enjoy. After eating, they were all out in the yard blowing bubbles! A very nice family gathering for all.

What is it like to arrive in a new country where you know you will have to stay, but where nothing makes much sense? Tamsin Walker went to a Berlin theater using firsthand experiences to explore that very phenomenon.
Picking through some old notebooks this week, through things I wrote when I first arrived in Germany, with an understanding of neither the language nor the culture, I was immediately thrust back into the isolation I initially felt in my new home - a small Bavarian town where being foreign was in itself, foreign.
That though, was back in the '90s. A lifetime ago. Before social media and cheap airlines pulled the world in on itself, and time enough for things to have evolved. I often wonder what it would be like to arrive now, when the more globalized nature of the world would surely give me a head start in understanding my new home.
Or would it? If a play currently showing in Berlin is anything to go by, the answer would be seem to be no. Staged by the Exil Ensemble, which was established last year as part of the Maxim Gorki Theater, "Winterreise" - or "Winter Journey" as the piece is called, sees the Syrian and Palestinian cast set off on a two week January bus tour around their new country in a bid to better acquaint themselves with both it, and its people.
On the road again
To help them in this endeavor, they have Neils-the-native on board. His sometimes sorry attempts to explain the history, politics and cultural quirks of his native Deutschland involve a stop at the Munich football ground, a misjudged trip to the Buchenwald concentration camp and a jaunt to Dresden while an anti-Islamification PEGIDA protest is in full swing.
His pained efforts to explain the demonstration, which include stuttered offerings such as "It's about Muslims… not you personally, just the Muslim part of you," are flanked by the travelers' incremental revelations of what they have lost and abandoned in the name of a fresh start. The juxtaposition of hope and hatred is perfect.
As the journey, which the players really took, progresses, it offers insights both into their own cultures and the curious, often comic facets of life here in Germany. From open relationships and Wagner to endless hours of mushroom picking, the rules of sex and... the design of the nation's toilets.
When asked why German toilets have an inbuilt shelf from which human doings can stare up at the doer, Neils said he would be horrified if it were any other way, because "you can learn a lot about your inner self" through what you excrete. "It's part of our culture," he claimed. Resolutely.
That, ultimately, is what "Winterreise" is about. The exploration of different cultures and the clear fact that there is ample space for one to exist within another. The Exil Ensemble illustrated that poignant point beautifully. And in so doing, cast the rest of us in our own offstage roles. Enduring parts, all of equal and equally vital importance.

Air Circulation and Your Home. During the colder months of the year, we close our windows to keep out the wind, rain and low temperatures. The unfortunate side-effect of this step is that you are also closing in the moisture and dampness that open windows would normally help disperse.
Feeling it
Once you have started to batten down the hatches for winter, you may start to notice one or two things as a result.
It could just be a general sense of stuffiness that you feel initially, but the subsequent effects could be more sinister, so it's important to be aware of the signs.
The 'Lungs' of your Home
If you were to think of your house as a person, then a person needs abundant clean air. If that person can't get that air, then the outcome is only going to go one way and if your home isn't healthy, the chances are, you won't be either.
Breathing problems
Any family members that have any breathing issues such as asthma or bronchitis are likely to feel the effects much more quickly and acutely than most.
Even common colds can seem to drag on and on when your home ventilation is not working. Longer term, those health issues can become chronic and added complications like mould and mildew issues can really exacerbate the problem.
So, what can you do about it?
Without the natural airflow that exists in the home, how do you replicate it?
A Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) unit can provide your home with that vital air movement needed.
Damaging elements such as excess humidity can be quickly and effectively removed by one of these units, protecting the safety of you and your family.
You really can't place too much emphasis on ventilation in your home. Moist, stagnant and quite often contaminated air can be hugely dangerous, even to those with pre-existing health conditions. Not only that, but a side-effect of using a well-maintained HVAC unit in your home is that it can drive down your utility bills. A welcome result, I think you'll agree.
These units can be a little expensive, but what price do you put on health?
If you don't tackle bad airflow in your house, then you will ultimately be fighting a losing battle to keep your home habitable. You will be faced with worsening health, mould on the walls and all this adds up to a pretty miserable existence.
If you have this problem…then take some advice…get it sorted.Read More

An exhibition of sculpture and paintings by Andrew de Boer.
'Biosquare' is an installation of sculpture and paintings, which has its origins in my response to the Transcendental Art of my Guru, Adi Da Samraj.
The images and forms are generated by my use of artistic methods, such as the use of chance – that likens to the throwing of coins in the "I Ching" – whereby the truth is revealed through a seemingly random act.
The images and forms produced this way reveal my deepest anxieties, as well as creating a 'clean slate' on which I attempt to answer the question – "What does it take for an individual to overcome 'self' and begin to partake in the emerging Global Culture as proposed and developed by Adi Da Samraj?"
Andrew de Boer.
This is exhibition of new paintings by Andrew de Boer, one of New Zealand's top sculptors, recognises his graduation to being an emerging top painter, showcasing large works that bring a uniquely strong textural and sculptural style that highlights the vulnerability of humanity and this planet we inhabit.
At the center of the exhibition, Andrew's graduation sculpture from Elam School of Fine Arts acts as grounding rod, returning to earth the charged statements about the state of humanity and the environment of the paintings subjects surrounding it, while also casting shadows over his paintings like a sundial reminding us that mother nature goes on whatever humanity's treatment of the planet, and often too gives the impression of an alien visitor to the exhibition as if viewing a retrospective of humanity's progress, and lack of, since the era when Andrew's guru Adi da Samraj works became widely known around the time of the birth of the environmental movement.
This real and/or perceived lack of progress, or 'enviro-pessimism' as Andrew refers to the reaction by many to the humanity's toll on this planet, was a large motivation for creating an exhibition designed to inspire and wake us to take a transcendental approach to finding solutions that work for humanity and our habitat, Earth.

"Selling products and technologies to farmers is a big challenge and it is one area where many startups have not figured out a successful model. Aligning with the farmers' needs and committing to improve productivity is not an easy task," said Nagaraja Prakasam, angel investor at the Indian Angel Network, adding, "In a developed country, farmers get up to 70% of what the consumers pay, but in India they merely get 30%. So the supply chain of farm to market is not efficient here. The potential is huge, but the challenges are even bigger.
Huge potential, but bigger challenges for agri startups
By: Prabhu Mallikarjunan | Bangalore | July 5, 2015 8:45 AM
With increasing mobile penetration and Internet access in rural areas, startups are slowly emerging in the agriculture sector too, with a focus on solving issues concerning farmers.
Startups like FreshWorld, Farmily, Awaaz De, Anulekh Agrotech and Sahaja Organics are disseminating farm information through mobile phones, bridging the gaps in agri retail supply chain, providing farmers with direct market access, besides weather, water and soil management services. [Read more]

How to Take Better Holiday Photos
Wherever you decide to go and enjoy your next holiday, you're going to want strong images that frame the amazing experiences you have. Not you nor anyone else will be intrigued by multiple shots of a beachfront or by dull photos with the date imprinted in the lower corner. Travel like a photography professional during your next holiday and you'll return with a repository representing life-changing moments that will be worth archiving.
What Should You Use?
Getting these quality images is not so much based upon what camera you have but rather how you use the equipment you do have. The basic principles of good photography lie more in technique rather than in the capacity of the device itself. A good DSLR or 35mm camera are excellent tools as long as you know how to manipulate them in addition the working with the physical elements of your surroundings.
Find the Right Lighting
Lighting should be one of your primary focuses. Natural sunlight is best whenever you want to produce a more visible, crisp final product. Some expert photographers suggest that you awake early to take advantage of the transient morning light. The light strength and saturation will vary, but that is essentially what makes it so subtly beautiful. The gentle light from both dusk and dawn produces an ethereal glow that you won't get from direct sunlight or synthetic lighting.
Move in Close or Stand Back
If you want close ups, physically move in closer to the subject. The zoom feature, depending on what type of camera you have, could make the image look pixelated. There is also something much more striking, something that creates more dimension, when you center in on a subject more closely.
Balance Photographing People with Things
Sometimes you will want a standalone photograph or scenery or of landscapes for mere aesthetic purposes, which is fine. When you are travelling with family, friends, or even when you meet others along the way, you will want them in your photos too. Seeing people against a backdrop interlaces emotional undertones and tell a deeper story about your ventures.
Use the Rule of Thirds
This is one of the most common photographic techniques. You use the rule of thirds by dividing the photographed scene into three even sections vertically and horizontally. Essentially, you would be imagining a grid overlaying your subject matter. You will want the focal point to fall along either the left or right side of this grid, but never right in the middle of it. The rule of thirds will add interest to your photos.
There are multiple online services that allow you to upload the files and get the copies mailed to you. Additionally, you can save your holiday photos into a (digital) album, upload them to your online portfolio, blog about them, or publicize them on your social media profiles. They are yours to cherish–do with them whatever you desire to!

Cadmium is a potent reproductive and developmental toxic agent, and intensive environmental exposure to this substance has been reported among the residents of Tehran. In this study, we investigated the correlation between amniotic fluid cadmium levels and the risk of preeclampsia, prematurity and low birth weight. Methods: This study was conducted on 341 hospitalized pregnant women. Amniotic fluid samples were obtained during childbirth, prepared by acid digestion, and cadmium concentration was determined using atomic absorption spectrophotometer equipped with a graphite furnace. Results: In this study, the mean amniotic fluid cadmium concentration in non-smokers was significantly lower (780± 0.231 µg/l) compared to smokers (13.4±0.91 µg/l). Increased amniotic fluid cadmium levels were associated with the reduction of birth weight, and birth weight was below 2500 g in all the cases with amniotic fluid cadmium levels of >15µg/l. Moreover, preeclampsia was more prevalent among smoking mothers compared to non-smokers. The total incidence rate of preeclampsia (12.6%) was significantly higher in this study compared to similar studies. In addition, no correlation was found between amniotic fluid cadmium levels and the rate of prematurity. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, cadmium levels of amniotic fluid could be used as sensitive and reliable biomarkers to monitor the reproductive and developmental toxicity of cadmium. http://ijn.mums.ac.ir/article_4482_7693b33f486603d36384f783f1da42ea.pdf Cadmium Amniotic Fluid Preeclampsia Prematurity Low birth weight eng Mashhad University of Medical Sciences Iranian Journal of Neonatology IJN 2251-7510 2322-2158 2015-06-01 6 2 7 13 10.22038/ijn.2015.4484 4484 تحقیقی اصیل Metabolic Bone Disease in Very Low-Birth-Weight Neonates Kobra Shiasi Arani 1 Asghar Lotfi 2 Mohammad Jahangiri email@example.com 3 Hamid Reza Talari firstname.lastname@example.com 4 Kamran Hami 5 Hossein Akbari firstname.lastname@example.com 6 Research Center for Biochemistry and Nutrition in Metabolic Diseases, Kashan University of Medical Sciences, Kashan, Iran 2.

This study aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors of MBD in neonates with very low birth weight (VLBW). Methods: This prospective study was conducted on VLBW infants from January 2012 to July 2013. Inclusion criteria were birth weight of ≤1500 g and age of ≤7 days, and the exclusion criteria were cholestatic disorders, skeletal anomalies and genetic syndromes. Serum calcium, phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) concentrations were measured regularly until the 12th week of birth. In addition, wrist and chest radiographs were obtained from the neonates at 8-12 weeks of age. Results: In total, 58 neonates with the mean gestational age of 30.6±2.65 weeks, weight of 1265±262 g and height of 38.06±2.49 cm were enrolled in this study. The correlation between biochemical parameters in multiple analysis and radiological findings of rickets was examined, and a significant association was observed between serum phosphorus level at the first week of age and the incidence of rickets. Moreover, 14 infants had only one radiologic sign of rickets (e.g. fraying, cupping, widening or lack of provisional zone of calcification (PZC), and 8 subjects (13.7%) showed at least two radiologic signs. The prevalence of osteopenia and rickets among infants with birth weight of 1200 g had normal X-rays (P=0.036). Conclusion: Despite the remarkable advances in the management of VLBW infants, MBD is still a prevalent complication during the neonatal period. According to the results of this study, birth weight and gestational age are the most significant risk factors for MBD. http://ijn.mums.ac.ir/article_4484_bf631a953ef6c004ed1eec066319af7c.pdf Infant Premature Rickets Very low birth weight eng Mashhad University of Medical Sciences Iranian Journal of Neonatology IJN 2251-7510 2322-2158 2015-06-01 6 2 14 23 10.22038/ijn.2015.4485 4485 تحقیقی اصیل Impact of Prenatal Cognitive-Behavioral Stress Management Intervention on Maternal Anxiety and Depression and Newborns' Apgar Scores Mahsa Karamoozian 1 Ghasem Askarizadeh email@example.com 2 Department of Psychology , Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman, Kerman, Iran Department of Psychology , Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman, Kerman, Iran Background: Motherhood is a transformative and pleasing experience in a woman's life. However, given the physical and psychological changes, it can induce a degree of stress and anxiety in mothers. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of cognitive-behavioral stress management (CBSM) on maternal anxiety and depression during pregnancy and newborns' Apgar scores. Methods: This semi-experimental study was performed by applying a pretest-posttest control-group design. Overall, 30 primiparous mothers were selected among women referring to health clinics of Kerman, Iran, using convenience sampling. Subjects were randomly allocated to experimental and control groups. Data were collected, using Pregnancy-Related Anxiety Questionnaire and Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Questionnaire. After completing the pretest, the experimental group was subjected to 12 sessions of CBSM training; posttest data were collected after the intervention. Multivariate analysis of covariance was performed, using SPSS version 16. P-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The obtained results revealed a significant decrement in the average posttest scores of anxiety and depression in the experimental group, compared to pretest scores and the control group. Moreover, differences in 1- and 5-minute Apgar scores between the two groups were statistically significant. These findings indicated the effectiveness of CBSM during pregnancy in reducing maternal anxiety and depression. Conclusion: Pregnant women can benefit from psychological interventions such as CBSM in medical and health care centers. http://ijn.mums.ac.ir/article_4485_1cbaa3fa405ea77d43cf2e9b713954c2.pdf Anxiety Apgar score Cognitive-Behavior Stress Management Depression pregnancy eng Mashhad University of Medical Sciences Iranian Journal of Neonatology IJN 2251-7510 2322-2158 2015-06-01 6 2 24 31 10.22038/ijn.2015.4486 4486 تحقیقی اصیل Investigation of the Effect of Training on Promoting Breast-feeding at Baby-Friendly Hospital Case Study; Tohid Hospital in Jam, Bushehr Azam Nickkhaha 1 Jam Health Center, Bushehr University of Medical Sciences, Bushehr, Iran Background: The Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative was launched in 1989 by World Health Organization and the United Nations Children's Fund for the promotion of breastfeeding. This program was implemented in many departments of gynecology and obstetrics and resulted in reduced malnutrition, infection, morbidity and mortality in children. This program has introduced 10 specific steps to support successful breastfeeding. For instance, in the fourth step, skin-to-skin contact and breastfeeding are promoted since the time of birth, and in the fifth step, mothers are instructed on how to breastfeed or persist in breastfeeding. In these ten steps, mothers are trained in various fields. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a standardized questionnaire was used to collect data at baby-friendly hospitals. To assess the difference between multiple nominal variables, variance analysis was performed, using SPSS version 17. Results: Based on the analysis, mothers' awareness of the benefits of breast milk and breastfeeding was 83% in a baby-friendly hospital. Also, their awareness of proper breastfeeding was estimated at 78.5%. In addition, mothers' knowledge about the frequency of breastfeeding was 70%. Conclusion: Given the role of Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative in training mothers on the importance of breastfeeding and its persistence in future, careful monitoring of these hospitals, breastfeeding support services and breastfeeding training by midwives at healthcare centers are of great importance. http://ijn.mums.ac.ir/article_4486_0f7f4b92cfb18f2dacd72f2e7df5eee4.pdf Baby-Friendly Hospital Breastfeeding Infant eng Mashhad University of Medical Sciences Iranian Journal of Neonatology IJN 2251-7510 2322-2158 2015-06-01 6 2 32 36 10.22038/ijn.2015.4487 4487 تحقیقی اصیل The Acute Temporary Peritoneal Dialysis in Neonates: A Five-Year Experience Seyedeh Fatemeh Khatami email@example.com 1 Hasan Boskabadi 2 Pouya Parvaresh pouya email@example.com 3 Neonatologist, Associate Professor, Faculty of Medicine, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran Department of Internal Medicine, Szeged Medical University, Szeged, Hungary Background: The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the characteristics of patients, treated by acute peritoneal dialysis (PD). We also assessed the indications for PD, PD-associated complications and neonatal outcomes in our patients. Methods: During five years, 30 term newborns underwent temporary cycling PD. The procedure was performed by applying the manual technique. A straight and relatively rigid peritocat catheter (Germany) was percutaneously inserted in neonates. Statistical analysis was performed, using Chi-square and student's t-test. Results: All subjects were term newborns, including 16 females (52%) and 14 males (48%). In total, 16 cases (52%) were born via cesarean section. The average age and weight of neonates at catheter insertion were 15 days (range of 5-26 days) and 2800 g (range of 2300-4060 g), respectively. The mean PD duration was two days. There was no significant difference between gender, weight, mode of delivery and associated complications. In total, 74% of patients needed assisted ventilation. No case of death was reported due to catheter insertion; however, 12 patients (40%) died during PD. PD-related complications were reported in 70% of patients, and the most common complication was catheter outflow failure (14 cases, 46%). The underlying causes included inborn errors of metabolism (16 cases, 52%) and acute renal failure (14 cases, 48%). Urea cycle enzyme defect, along with hyperammonemia, was the most common etiologic disease (9 cases). Conclusion: PD is an effective treatment for seriously ill newborns with life-threatening conditions such as acute renal failure or certain inborn errors of metabolism. However, mortality rate remains high due to the severity of underlying diseases and comorbidities. http://ijn.mums.ac.ir/article_4487_42966a402b2bcc03d3664555f3dcb2de.pdf Acute Newborn Peritoneal dialysis Temporary eng Mashhad University of Medical Sciences Iranian Journal of Neonatology IJN 2251-7510 2322-2158 2015-06-01 6 2 37 42 10.22038/ijn.2015.4488 4488 تحقیقی اصیل Comparison of the Effects of Attachment Training for Mothers on the Behavioral Responses of Premature Infants: A Randomized Clinical Trial Mitra Edraki 1 Sahra Zendehzaban 2 , Nooshin Beheshtipour 3 Fariba Hemmati email@example.com 4 Sezaneh Haghpanah 5 Community-Based Psychiatric Care Research Center, Department of Pediatric Nursing, School of Nursing and Midwifery, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran Student Research Committee, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran Department of Pediatric Nursing, School of Nursing and Midwifery, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran Department of Pediatrics, Neonatology Research Center, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran Hematology Research Center, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran Background: Premature infants are among high-risk groups in community who need to be hospitalized at intensive care units for survival and receiving basic or special care. Hospitalization at neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) unsettles the family and leads to the separation of parents from their infants. This study aimed to determine the effects of maternal attachment behaviors on the behavioral responses of premature infants, hospitalized at NICUs. Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, 64 premature infants, who were hospitalized at NICUs and were eligible for the study, were randomly allocated to study and control groups. Attachment behaviors including touching, massage and kangaroo care were applied for the study group, while the conventional attachment method was adopted for the control group. Behavioral responses were evaluated two hours before and two hours after training attachment behaviors. Data were analyzed, using Chi-square and student's t-test. Results: The mean difference in the duration of deep sleep and consciousness was more significant in the study group, compared to the control group. Furthermore, the duration of drowsiness was significantly less in the study group, compared to the control group. Conclusion: The implementation of attachment training at NICUs decreased the time of drowsiness and improved behavioral responses, deep sleep time and consciousness. http://ijn.mums.ac.ir/article_4488_38e2c8cb50ebd1e23c29d1abec5c1558.pdf Attachment Training Behavioral Responses NICU Premature Infants eng Mashhad University of Medical Sciences Iranian Journal of Neonatology IJN 2251-7510 2322-2158 2015-06-01 6 2 43 47 10.22038/ijn.2015.4489 4489 تحقیقی اصیل The Epidemiology of Cold–weather Injuries in Infants in Mashhad, Iran Mohammad Saeed Sasan 1 Samaneh Kouzegaran firstname.lastname@example.com 2 Ehsan Beykzadeh 3 Shahin Saeedinejat 4 Kolsoum Deldar 5 Mohammad Khajedaluee firstname.lastname@example.com 6 Department of Pediatric Infectious Disease, Faculty of Medicine, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran Department of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medicine, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran General Practitioner, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran Department of Nursing, Nursing and Midwifery School, Faculty of Medicine, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran Department of Biostatistics, Resident of Biostatics, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran Department of Biostatics, Associate Professor, Faculty of Medicine, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran Background: Injury is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children. There is insufficient data on the epidemiology or incidence of injuries in the first two years of life, especially in Iran. The main objective of this study was to describe the incidence and causes of injuries in a sample group of infants and toddlers in Mashhad, Iran. Methods: This prospective, observational study, was conducted on 1000 infants (6-24 months old), admitted to 46 healthcare centers of Mashhad. The infants were observed in terms of the occurrence of injuries and the outcomes over six months. Results: At the beginning of the study, the mean age of the infants was 13.8±7.8 months. During six months of observation, 382 episodes of injuries were detected. The injuries were burning (134 episodes), falling (132 episodes), cuts and lacerations (63 episodes), choking due to foreign body aspiration (40 episodes), poisoning (9 episodes), traffic accidents and electrical injuries (2 episodes each) and drowning (no case), respectively. During the study period, 42 injury-related outpatient visits (by a physician) were recorded, which were caused by burning (28 visits), falling (13 visits) and traffic accidents (one visit), respectively. Twenty-one cases of hospital admission were reported, although only two of them were caused by accidents (a case of falling and a case of burning). Conclusion: During the cold months, burns and falls were the main causes of injury in children, aged 6-24 months in Mashhad. However, injury was not a major cause of hospital admission in this group. http://ijn.mums.ac.ir/article_4489_500ef1eb60a57fa283c757ff5818c17f.pdf Burning Infants Injury Injury Prevention Mashhad eng Mashhad University of Medical Sciences Iranian Journal of Neonatology IJN 2251-7510 2322-2158 2015-06-01 6 2 48 51 10.22038/ijn.2015.4495 4495 تحقیقی اصیل New treatment for nipple soreness in breastfeeding mothers: A clinical trial study Reza Saeidi email@example.com 1 Mahin Tafazoli email@example.com 2 Mahboobeh Gholami email@example.com 3 Reza Mazloom firstname.lastname@example.com 4 Neonatal Research Center, Faculty of Medicine, Imam Reza Hospital, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran Department of Midwifery, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran Department of Nursing, Neyshabur University of Medical Sciences, Neyshabur, Iran Department of nursing, Mashhad university of medical sciences, Mashhad, Iran Background: A common, early postpartum concern of the breastfeeding mother is nipple pain. Because of a lack of effective treatment and opposing results about lanolin, we decided to compare the effect of lanolin ointment and aloe Vera gel on nipple soreness treatment. Methods: This clinical blind trial was performed in Mashhad, Iran, from February 2008 to May 2009. Sampling was nonrandom and purposive, and then samples were divided randomly into two groups. After first applying the preparation on their arms to check for allergy symptoms, mothers were instructed to then rub the preparation on their nipples three times a day for seven consecutive days, each application performed after feeding the baby. Mothers were to let the preparation dry and not to wash it before the next feeding. Researcher pretreatment at the third and seventh day filled out the Storr scale with interviews and examinations. There were no complications in mothers and infants because of the drug's usage The data was then analyzed with Spss 11.5 and Mann-Whitney, Student's t-test, and t-paired tests. Results: A total of 100 samples enrolled with 50 samples in the lanolin group and 50 samples in the aloe vera group. In aloe Vera group Nipple soreness scoring decreased significantly at the third day versus pretreatment (p=0.00) and also at the seventh day versus pretreatment and the third day (p=0.000). Nipple soreness scoring decreased significantly at the third day versus pretreatment (p=0.00) and also at the seventh day versus pretreatment and the third day (p=0.000, p=0.001). The two groups were homogenous at the pretreatment day (p=0.711), but there was a significant difference between the two groups at the third and seventh day (p=0.048, p=0.003). Conclusion: Aloe Vera is more effective than lanolin on nipple soreness healing. http://ijn.mums.ac.ir/article_4495_ab7cb54a0db0a09f737bcb454a7483c9.pdf Aloe Vera gel Breastfeeding Nipple soreness lanolin ointment Storr scale eng Mashhad University of Medical Sciences Iranian Journal of Neonatology IJN 2251-7510 2322-2158 2015-06-01 6 2 52 53 10.22038/ijn.2015.4490 4490 گزارش موارد نادر Investigation Giant Placental Chorioangioma Associated with Neonatal Sepsis-like Disease: A Case Report Adauto Barbosa firstname.lastname@example.com 1 Nei Menezes email@example.com 2 Gesmar Volga Haddad 3 Vania Silami Lopes 4 Department of Pediatrics, Division of Neonatology, Federal Fluminense University, Brazil Department Of Pathology, Federal Fluminense University, Brazil Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Federal Fluminense University, Brazil Department Of Pathology, Federal Fluminense University, Brazil Giant chorioangioma is a placental tumor associated with gestational complications such as preeclampsia, polyhydramnios and hemorrhage. In addition, this tumor might lead to the incidence of non-immune fetal hydrops, heart failure, anemia, thrombocytopenia, weight loss and death among neonates. In this case report, the clinical image of a term newborn (weighing 2800 g) with one-minute Apgar score of 7 was suggestive of sepsis on the second day of birth. Moreover, epistaxis, petechia, anemia, thrombocytopenia, hypothermia, cardiomegaly and hepatosplenomegaly were detected in the neonate, which required blood transfusion and antibiotic therapy. However, in case of chorioangioma in the gestational history, it was possible to detect the motive for a clinical sepsis-like disease. According to the pathophysiological explanation, this tumor functions as a "dead space", increasing the rate of blood ejection with subsequent fetal heart failure, anemia through intratumoral hemorrhage or fetal-maternal transfusion, and consumption or intratumoral sequestration resulting in disseminated intravascular coagulation. After blood transfusion, all treatment procedures, including antibiotic therapy, were suspended due to the recovery of the newborn. http://ijn.mums.ac.ir/article_4490_95a0d8be943a1ed9f6735b85c8b2c4a5.pdf Chorioangioma Newborn Placenta Sepsis-like disease eng Mashhad University of Medical Sciences Iranian Journal of Neonatology IJN 2251-7510 2322-2158 2015-06-01 6 2 54 55 10.22038/ijn.2015.4491 4491 گزارش موارد نادر Onychomycosis: A Rare Presentation of Fungal Urinary Tract Infection in an Extremely Preterm Neonate Shilpa Kalane email@example.com 1 Sumeet Pitkar 2 Arti Rajhans email@example.com 3 Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital, Pune, India Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital, Pune, India Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital, Pune, India Onychomycosis refers to nail infections, caused by fungi including yeasts and non-dermatophyte moulds. One or several toenails or fingernails (seldom all) may be involved in this condition. Many cases of fingernail onychomycosis are due to yeasts. Fungal infection has emerged as an important cause of neonatal infection, associated with significant morbidity and mortality, especially in very low birth weight (< 1500 g) and extremely low birth weight (< 1000 g) infants. Herein, we report a case of a 24-day-old male infant, who presented with onychomycosis on the left ring fingernail, associated with fungal urinary tract infection (UTI). The evaluation of nails helped us detect fungal UTI. To date, there have been no reports suggesting onychomycosis as a presentation of fungal UTI. We could not find the association between onychomycosis and neonatal fungal UTI. Hence, retrospectively, it can be said that onychomycosis was a presentation of fungal UTI. Further studies are required to evaluate the etiology and treatment of neonatal onychomycosis. Moreover, dermatologists should pay particular attention to this rare event. http://ijn.mums.ac.ir/article_4491_2e5cedfab93ed4cb6ccb1c1441ba3f3c.pdf neonate Onychomycosis UTI

There's an emoji for everything these days. And everyone. Well, nearly everyone. Unicode, the company behind Emoji, offers emoji for people of many races and emoji for same-sex couples, but on group of people is still excluded from emoji representation: interracial couples. Marcel created a campaign with Tinder's head office in LA that was launched across 10 markets globally.
The social campaign asks the question "isn't it time all love was represented?" and encourages you to go to change.org and pledge your support. Our goal was 2,500 signatures. We're at 42,000 and counting.
It was tweeted by celebrities from Nicole Ritchie to Alexis Ohanian, husband of Serena Williams, and was picked up by Vice, Wired, Fast Company, Vogue, High Snobiety, Mashable, The Independent, Hypebeast, and Newsweek, to name a few.The campaign also let anyone in the world turn themselves into an emoji. All they had to do was upload a picture of themselves with our #representlove hashtag from anywhere in the world and our design teams on three continents would get back to you.

The following article explains about Psychic Near Me in Louisville Kentucky 40296.
Psychic Near Me Louisville Kentucky 40296
Can a psychic aid you discover real love? If so … how so? How does a psychic love reading work? Do psychics just see your soulmate and point you in the right instructions … or is it more complicated, intricate or tough to explain?The truth?
There disappears popular need to call a psychic than to find love! As a matter of fact, in 2010 there will be WELL over 1 MILLION telephone readings done by the leading psychic services. Some experts believe that well over HALF of those readings will be done for love.:–RRB- (or by people wanting to find it!)
Now listen … … here is the fact:
Every psychic works a wee bit differently. Some see things clearly and with no confusion. Others sense things, or hear acoustic cues that use responses. Every psychic has a special gift … much like no artist, musician or imaginative genius is exactly alike.The love psychics that I've seen have really DESCRIBED people, in extraordinary and intricate detail, typically YEARS before I've met them. And in one case, as much of you who enjoy my short articles and post regularly already know, a psychic told my partner at the time( over a decade earlier) about the man SHE would wed in equally as sophisticated detail … and that individual was NOT going to be me!( the psychic was extremely right on BOTH counts … and it's still among the most inexplicable love readings I've ever witnessed up close )The very best description I have actually gotten, agreed upon by my 2 preferred instinctive love consultants is this: We ALL understand, deep down, who we are expected to be with. On a soul, or spiritual level
… ALL of this things is hardwired into our DNA. (so to speak.:–RRB- An excellent love psychic or psychological empath merely "reads" your fate in such a way that the majority of us just can't see for ourselves. A great psychic merely informs you something that you CURRENTLY know on a" gut "or deep DNA, fate level that few of us are consciously familiar with, or have access to.( simply because we aren't in touch with these parts of ourselves like we should be) That's it. And it's A LOT! If you have actually ever had the experience of seeing your soulmate explained in extraordinary detail a DECADE before they amazingly appear in your life … you already understand this holds true! I've seen it up close in my own life … and NOW, after releasing numerous articles on the topic, in the lives of much of my readers as well.( and if you have NOT yet satisfied yours … it's an experience I wish for YOU to have in the very future also!).
