Liquids like water, Top of Formjuice, oil etc. are generally not measured in the same metric like that of solid food like vegetables, fruits etc. similarly Capacity is measured differently, it is measured in litre and millilitre. Litre is written as 'l' and millilitre as 'ml'.
As for measuring mass we have made several measures to weigh the different masses as kilograms and grams. Similarly, for measuring different capacities there are several different shaped litre-measures and millilitre measures.
We know that 1 litre = 1000 millilitres (1 l = 1000 ml)
500 ml = 1/2 of a
250 ml = 1/4 of a
200 ml = 1/5 of a
100 ml = 1/10 of a litre
If we have to measure 600 ml of a liquid, we use the measures of 500 ml and 100 ml capacities. To measure 900 ml of a liquid, we use the measures of 500 ml and 200 ml twice.

I'm Hannah Eloge, creator and photographer. I grew up in Tucson, Arizona in a creative family with four amazing siblings. My mom and dad have encouraged my creativity since I was young. They always inspired me to create projects, be it a book report or an science project, which were unusual and unique.
In 2005, I left Arizona for school at North Park University in Chicago. Though my journey began in pursuit of an education degree, I learned half way through that my passion for children extended beyond a classroom. In response, I changed course and sought out to pursue a path that would allow me to have an impact on the lives of vulnerable and orphaned children around the world while using my creative talents.
Now, I live in Chicago with my incredible husband, Josh and our winsome goldendoodle, Hadley (of whom there are no shortage of photographs). I work as the Creative Director for an international development // orphan care organization called Children's HopeChest, while simultaneously pursuing other creative outlets.
I love simple photos that show beauty in the routine of life and photos that pull out the unique stories of the people and places I encounter. If you are newly engaged, or soon to be wed, or simply in need of a photographer, please use the contact button at the top of the page for information on pricing and further details. Though I work as a photographer for the "big events" in life, I also hope to use my talents to portray other incredible moments, specifically that of the journey of adoptive families. I have a huge heart for adoption—for vulnerable and orphaned children around the world. If you are a family with an adoption story, I encourage you to contact me. This blog is created as a platform for you, a place where the grace and beauty of your story can be told.
Beyond photography, I hope for this to be a place for creatives to come together. I will post my own random DIY projects, experimental recipes, and adventures in current creative endeavors. I invite all to join in on creating the content of Hannah Eloge Creative. If you are bursting with creative ideas and want to collaborate, I look forward to hearing your ideas.
Hannah Eloge Creative is designed to foster a community of creatives. Please join me!

There is something special to the Hong Kong New Wave. The movement, spanning just a few short years in the late 1970s and early 1980s, transformed our cinema. The storied situation of a band of young outsiders arriving on the scene, forging a new order in an aging industry is the stuff of which myths are made.
On the occasion of the Hong Kong Film Archive's restoration of the New Wave classic The Secret (1979), we are offering a re-examination of that important period. This programme will be launched by the premiere of the restored version of The Secret. This print, at 90 minutes, is much closer to the original release version than the 85-minute edition that had been circulating in recent years. Sixteen key works will be screened, grouped into eight categories to survey the movement from different perspectives.
Included in the lineup are Jumping Ash (1976), The Extras (1978) and The Butterfly Murders (1979). Each of these three had been considered, by different sources, the inaugural project of the movement. Each has its significance to the movement, yet no consensus had been reached. It must be noted that the New Wave was not an organised undertaking. The term New Wave' was in fact a label used by writers, searching for meaning to the happenings. We hope this programme will provide an opportunity for viewers to contemplate that critical moment in the history of our cinema.
A few years into the movement, a Second Wave splashed upon our cinematic shore. Riding on the surge was another generation of filmmakers, offering yet another round of fresh perspectives. They surf on the improved industrial waters fostered by the First Wave, continuing with the innovations and tackling contemporary issues with less social urgency but more personal concerns.
As supplements, we are also presenting a sidebar on film editor Wong Yee-shun and director editor Mary Stephen. Wong is an industry veteran who worked on many New Wave projects, shepherding the burgeoning development with his expertise and experience.
Stephen was born and raised in Hong Kong but found filmmaking success in Europe. She is a contemporary of the New Wave generation, yet her artistic and career trajectory offers an interesting comparison with her Hong Kong counterparts.
The contents of the programme do not represent the views of the presenter.
The presenter reserves the right to change the programme should unavoidable circumstances make it necessary.

24-25 May 2018: 29th European tutors' meeting of the CEIPI in Strasbourg
On 24 and 25 May 2018, the CEIPI is organizing its 29th annual European tutors' meeting in Strasbourg. About 70 specialists in European Patent law, coming from several European countries, as well as representatives of the European Patent Academy (EPO) and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) are attending this meeting to share their experience and to attend various presentations on European patent law, the Unified Patent Court and the PCT.
During the meeting, Derk Visser, European patent attorney and author of « The annotated European Patent Convention », will give his appreciated annual presentation on recent EPO case law. Christine Bonvallet, senior legal officer at the PCT Division of WIPO, will present recent PCT updates. One further highlight of the meeting consists of two presentations on the Unified Patent Court: Sam Granata, judge at the Court of Appeal of Antwerp, will give a speech on order to preserve evidence and order for inspection in the context of the UPC, whereas Beate Schmidt, president of the German Federal Patent Court, will present the interaction between the legally and technically qualified judges of the UPC.
As usual, the meeting will also give the opportunity to the participants to informally exchange their experience on the occasion of cultural and culinary events.

Ayurveda? Well, according to the press release for the movie covered here -- THE DOCTOR FROM INDIA. directed and edited by Jeremy Frindel -- "Ayurveda is considered by many scholars to be the oldest healing science still in practice. In Sanskrit, Ayurveda translates roughly to 'The Science of Life.' Ayurveda is the art of daily living in harmony with the laws of nature. Working through entirely natural means to maintain the health of a healthy person, and to heal the disease of an unhealthy person. Ayurveda is not a passive therapy but rather asks each individual to take responsibility for his or her own health through their diet, relationships and activities, and to take simple actions towards prevention, self-healing and growth towards fulfillment."
Dr. Vasant Lad (shown below, right), the holistic health practitioner who first brought Ayurveda from India to the west in the late 1970s, this healing process seems much more like a "replacement" for the medicine that most of us know (and probably don't particularly love).
From what we see and hear here, Dr. Lad appears to be a pretty good lad, overall. As the movie begins, the doc's day does, too, as he opens up shop in India. Though he now lives in the USA, he returns yearly to the sub-continent and to his birthplace in Pune. We learn of his family history (his dad worked for India's freedom, back in the day, and was jailed by the British for his effort. We also learn how Dr. Lad's marriage to a woman of his choosing alienated him (and his bride) from his own family -- though over time this rift has apparently healed.
Transcendental Meditation movement wanted at one point to fold Ayurveda, along with Dr. Lad, into its own organization. Nothing doing! So instead TM brought Deepak Chopra (shown below with the film's director) and his version of Ayurveda into its welcoming arms.
Zeitgeist Films (in whom I must say I am disappointment for releasing an "advertorial" in the guise of an actual documentary) and Kino Lorber, the movie opens this Friday, June 1, in New York City at the Quad Cinema. Its theatrical run in Los Angeles is restricted to one day only at several Laemmle theaters, and the movie will also open across the country in another dozen cities. Here in South Florida look for it to screen one day only on June 16 at the O Cinema, Miami. To view all currently scheduled playdates, cities and theaters, click here and scroll down.

I attended church on one fine Sunday morning. I had been invited to that particular church by a friend. It was just after I left my own church. Yes, I left my own church for the simple reason that a newly married man was making passes at me. He sent me innumerable unanswered messages for a period of two months (plus). I didn't want to stop attending the church. I don't run and I don't quit! However, I was advised to, for fear that if the cat was finally let out of the bag, I would be found guilty. After all, I am single, and a woman. I would naturally be found to be desperate and guilty… so I left. I left my own church and attended a friend's church on this fine Sunday morning.
In church, a woman was to preach and I was excited about it. It was 'Women's Week' and I am a feminist. On approaching the podium, she took her time to list the changes women had to make to be better wives, better women. God wanted that for us, she said.
- We must look good always.
- We must ensure our husbands look good always.
- We must cook for our husbands.
- We must respect our husbands.
- We must not deny our husbands 'in bed'.
- We must look after the home.
- We must look after the children.
- We must respect and regard our in-laws.
- We must be diligent at work.
- We must appreciate that men are the way they are and learn to deal with them.
- We must
- We must…
She then said to the men,
- Be patient with your wives.
- Love them.
- Care for them.
She did not elaborate on the kind of love and care husbands ought to show their wives. She assumed that they understood already. She overestimated men's understanding of care and love while carefully explaining it to women.
As a result, I got angry. I looked forward to question time if there was going to be one so that I could express my distaste but there wasn't one so I went home in anger and stayed there! Why was I angry? I was reminded of the immensity of pressure on women even by women. I ask women, do we hate each other? Our to-do list is so long yet we only plead with men to 'be nice'. If they listen to our plea, oh joy! If not, we MUST deal with it. They say it's their nature…
What nature? Men, it has to stop! Your so called nature is not getting you, us, and the family circle very far! Some of you are good however this goes out to those of you who aren't… you know who you are!
You too can look good always!
You can cook!
You can take no for an answer while we are in bed without necessarily going outside to get some!
You can look after the home!
You can look after the children!
You can respect and regard your in-laws!
You can remain diligent at work while doing all of these… and
You can appreciate women and learn to deal with us too!
It's a 50-50 thing! It really must be for it to work …for it to be enjoyable! Let's break the mould… together! God will be pleased.

It's funny me and my sister were talking about this particular topic 2 weeks ago, the men are always treated different while women are left to deal with the bigger stress.
In any marriage, the woman is the one who does 80% of the work, the man is believed to provide income and protect his family. Very sad you felt this way after church, wish it could be changed, the best way to change it is while dating, tell the guy you dating that it is not a woman thing, he has to help out as well.
Hope all is well.
It's a man's world.
Your understanding of the Pastor's message is what the reality is. She was not trying to mount pressure on you, she does not hate you; infact she loves you. What i understand fom the pastor's message is, there is no perfect man. It is your duty as a wife, woman, mother to make him perfect for you.
The role of woman is very important in the home building/ nation building/ community building that is why God specially design us for this.
A man is merely a roof while the woman is the pillar, the structure of a home.
You'll cope, others have done it and they didn't die.
I concur with Bolu.
I just want to ask one question pls….How many women have ever won this war against men before…lets think about it.
Lets just humble ourselves and be submissive, even the bible says so. Lets also be patient to wait for the right man because its how u present urself that u ll be treated. I have friends in fantastic marriages and also the ones in nasty ones, I have heard them voice out their joy for the happy ones and their regret for the unhappy ones.
Bottomline?..Lets just be the gentle spirited, supportive and graceful women we have been called to be and lets stop competing with the men, we have ben called to different roles.
The man is the head and we are the neck..tell me, without the neck the head aint turning nowhere…lets just be wise and play our different roles.
God bless.
i agree totally with bolu, ejire what the pastor's preached is reality , simple reality.i really think we women are taking this feminist issue far, we are meant to honour our husbands whether good or bad, God designed it that way. My dear Ejire, submission to one's husband is not stupidity but great wisdom, every woman should know this
I agree with the writer. SO many people focus on women and leave out the men. And we wonder why there are so many men being bad and cheating?
@ Bolu – i tioally disagree with you! Man's world? Yes, is it, but should we now live in bondage cos of that???? Its a two way traffic o! While no one is waiting for the man to do his part as a condisiton to us doing ours, excusing ineptitude is what i wont take. it is high time we let the men realise that a happier wife is a happier home and a happier husband. And that none of that will fly if he is not doing his bit! The pastor's message was loving…??? Heck no! No way! sounds like one of those old wife fables that didnt get most of our mothers anything except broken dreams and chants of "i stayed for me children"! every woman has a purpose and there is no way she's going to fulfill that if one man is making her a mmisreable househelp or secon class citizen! afterall the bible gave presciprtion on how a man should love his wife! how come we all dont read that, but we never forget the 'submission' part? are we being selective with our christianity??? that self deprecating, self debasing christianity would get us God's approval any better than full adherence to his word! *sigh* am stopping now…
@ author- thank you.
@ bolu…awww they already got you in the mix.
@ ejire..nice one, too bad a lot of men dont come on femmelounge, some women dont mind actually cos they have been brainwashed that they have to roll on the floor ten times daily for their husbands heheheh, may God help us all 🙂
i agree with ejire, nice one
@ abosede, this article wasnt titled '50 ways to disobey or disrespect your husband , im sure you got the message wrong. knowing your right does not mean you dont honor your husband…food for tot 😉
Hmm, 'man issue' is one of those inevitable things all women have had to grapple with from generation to generation. Come to think of it, even my baby daughter who is 10months old will ask these same questions about men in 20+ years!!!! So where do we go from here?
1. Ejiri, women do not hate each other. (Our main problem is that we tend to compare ourselves with ourselves a lot and that breeds jealousy, envy, mistrust and sometimes hatred). I believe that what the female pastor did/said mirrors what Paul wrote in Titus 2:1-6 especially v.3-5…."the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behaviour, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things— that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, home-makers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed". So it is a good thing for experienced older women to talk to young women about marriage and managing their homes. The older men, likewise, will do a better job with the young men.
Experience, they say, is the best teacher. It doesn't always have to be personal though; other people's experience will do! A woman's role in the family and society at large is invaluable. We were made to nurse and to nurture and exert great influence on the people in our immediate environment—our families (primarily husbands and children) and that's why God took His time. He didn't create Adam and Eve at the same time or from the same raw materials. Remember that He made Eve out of Adam!!!! Trust me; we have been equipped with what it takes to get it right.
A 21st century Christian wife is certainly going to have a hard time juggling a marriage, children, family life and a career that it can only take a special grace and wisdom from God to get it right! For instance, let's just consider the issue of children in a marriage. Paul said the young women should love their husbands (first), love their children etc.. It takes wisdom to know that you shouldn't neglect your husband when you have a baby. Your husband's special place in your heart should not be displaced even for a minute just because you've had kids for him. As much as I hate to think about it, it is inevitable that my baby girl is going to come home one day in the near future, with a young man and say these unspoken words—"I have had a good time with both of you as my parents. Thank you for all you did for me and the love and care you showed me but your love is not enough. It's time to move on and start my own family and this is the man I want to spend the rest of my life with". She will move on while my husband sticks on. A husband was there long before you had your kids, will be there when they grow up and will still be there after they leave and you will be stuck with each other and carry on till death do you part!
No hasty generalizations and no price comparisons here, thank you. In our fast paced, instant coffee/noodles 21st century world, it's all too easy to compare and contrast goods and services. That is my main gripe with the womenfolk. We compare and contrast everything! Every man is different. Every marriage is different and even you, yes you, should celebrate your uniqueness. Let's take a break from this destructive habit and learn to focus on the things that will make us better home-makers and nation builders. Your man is unique. He is not like every other man out there. Give him a chance and don't allow any misconceived notions you have of men or bitterness from a previous relationship that didn't work ruin a present one or a marriage. Study him well and diligently and know that though he has the authority, you have the influence. With patience, influence can accomplish anything, trust me. It is always subtle and gentle (not manipulative though) and very effective.
Have a nice day, ladies. God bless all women everywhere!
aahhaah! this is it! Women emacipation revolutionary campaign has begun…Ejire the host & chairperson….lol! see ejire d reality of life actually starts and end in marriage, so u can challenge it, to start with, u were asked to leave ur church for thing that is not ur faults with evidences(unreply sms) yet u agreed to leave for the man to win but u agreed only to be finding fault in thing u dont have control about. Dont be deceived, Men actually knows that it is women that is ruling their world, except that, that woman must be wise enough to make their ego high, then she takes control of his affair…guess what! almost all requests by women is gotten on the bed or dinning table either way by a wise moman in charge technically…solearn the trick & u will be incharge, revolution is for the loosers! get wisdom & win ur MAN…By the way,Akanni is my name given by my woman…lol
As it is in everything, there are two sides… at least.
Now, looking at this, I'd have to say that yes, there are a lot of things that are put at the plate of women as being "our responsibility", i hate to say this, but after being married for a few years… they really are.
Though a bitter pill to swallow, this lady has not said anything that hasn't been said in the Bible. There are verses that say how a woman builds the home, and how terrible it is to live with a contentious woman and all that, but none ever says anything about the man building the home or being contentious.
Did the Bible omit something so important? I dont think so…
Long story short, i think what the lady was trying to say was, "a lot hangs on the necks of the fair fair sex, but we don't need to take it on ourselves, that's why we have the power of God to be our help and our guide".
It's easy to get hung up on feminism and forget the order of God. It's an either or situation here – hang on to the feminism 100% and risk breaking down your own home with your very own hands by being contentious OR take it from the Bible's point of view and build up your home with the power of God. Your choice…
At the heart of feminism is a bit of pride… and you know that always goes before a fall…
Your pastors message is very right. Ladies and women got to understand their role in a home. A man is looking for a companion not a competitor. He was looking good before you met him, He will continue to look good even after marrying you, yours is to just advise which trousers to wear.
* He has been eating before you came to his life, He will continue to do that either by eating outside or eating at home. The Choice is yours as a woman to decide where you want your husband to be eating.
Women got to learn to respect their husbands. its not a competition about 50/50 thing.
I got a lot to say but must be back to work

Its terrible the things women do to their fellow women the article just shows a facet of the problems we face. No one tells men the truth and when they are told it is seen as feminism, while I like to cook, clean, be sexy and do all that is listed where is it written that my self worth and sense of belonging emanate and are solely from these. I am expected to respect my in laws,does that mean drudgery,stupidity and forced servitude. I say this because people forget that relationships are a product of the environment in place, if I slave all day and probably all night and kiss ass too what piece of me is left to sell out.
This is a very interesting topic and something i am very passionate about. There is nothing wrong with what the pastor said. Women indeed are the home makers and we do have a lot of responsibilty on our shoulders and like Orifie said, God gives us the strength to carry out our duties.
HOWEVER, men are not to be let off lightly! If you read what St. Paul said from Eph 5:21-33. He started by telling them (everyone) to be subject to one another out of reverence of Christ. He went on to say how women should submit to their husbands and men should love their wives LIKE Christ loved the Church and scarificed himself for her. My friends, Christ died for the Church. I believe that the role that the man has to play in the marriage is even more demanding than that of the woman. He needs to die for her, provide her, take care of her and love her as he would love himself.
In other words, he needs to make sacrifices for her and that is not limited to providing food for the family or not cheating on her but also most of the things on the list that the pastors said to the wives. How can you sacrifice yourself for your wife if you are leaving her to come back from work, do all the cleaning, cooking, take of the children, shopping and then also demand sex at night? The man is to asked to particpate in running and building the home.
As for being feminist, there's nothing wrong it as long as its ordered properly. Christ himself was humble on to death on the cross for sinners like you and me. Why cant we women do likewise for our family – husband and children? Are we better than Jesus? I am not saying this cos i find it easy, its something i struggle with everyday, believe me but i pray to God to have the strength to do the right thing.
I think the ultimate femininity is for the woman to take charge of her home, take care of her family and build a home where everyone (including herself)can be the best that they can ever be.
Well said Bridget. Its NOT an either/or situation. As a guy, I have to say I find it offensive when "men" are stereotyped as not being caring or requiring slaves for wives. That's just nonsense. At the same time, I don't think any man in his right mind wants to live with a so-called "contentious" woman. A lot of this extreme gender equality stuff can often come across as quarrelsome (not everybody understands or agrees with it). Bottom-line, both Ejire and her (ex)Pastor have a point, its NOT either/or…
l like what the writer is saying,most times we talks about women their duties and responsibilities in the home and we negelect the roles men should also play.In a situation where women does all what the preacher listed above and yet men doesn't appreciate by showing some love and care.Pls,we also need to talk about men it shouldn't be women we will be talking about all the time.THANKS
Chuckled while I read this…. a lot has been said, and will be said, about this very passionate topic.
But in a nutshell, I certainly agree with the writer's very valid points…. It's not that complicated, honestly. Men and Women, treat your spouse the way you would like to be treated. Regardless of what what is the acceptable "norm" wherever you live, look within and ask yourself if the way you're treating your spouse seems right to you. If it is the same way you would want to be treated. Be considerate, and love totally…. we can all do it, so help us God!
Am a guy (single)! yes i get what writer, pastor and the contributors said! quite interesting! in the end i think it all boils down to MUTUAL LOVE AND RESPECT! WHAT EVER U EXPECT, U MUST BE READY TO GIVE, WHETHER U ARE THE MAN OR THE WOMAN!
Wonderful piece, God bless you!
This list makes me laugh. Am sorry.. its bullshit.
Im tired of arguing with my guy friends,i thank God my fiance is loving and he can do all these.I just pray it continues.
Please why are we always told/expected to deal with the shit men dish out.
Guess the woman was just handing down the age long tradition.
I hope this comment of mine will go down well with all and sundry…having said that…I will still yarn my church mind regardless…so here we go>>>
I am a firm believer in the good book called the Bible and I totally believe it is the foundation…I used to feel cheated as a woman cos of all the pressure on women…but I got to understand that…we are stronger than we think hence the reason this major responsibility is on us.
Men and women are different and the earlier we accept that the better.
The good book says…A wise woman builds her home,but a foolish woman tears it down with her own hands…it didn't say a wise man…and when you read Proverbs31…that talks about the ideal woman(actually I read it and feel drained) you will know that the major work in building a home lies with the woman…
so what happens to the man when all this is being done by the woman?…my thinking is…if he's a good man(which you shld have ensured he is before you married him), he will reciprocate the way you want him to.
What matters to each individual is relative…
nice post. thanks.
Well said and put at the end of the day I believe it's a fifty-fifty way… I will be humble and submissive to you but we also got to be respected by the men and get all their support, at the end of it all we all need God's grace and divine wisdom to live this life.
Cool blog.
Well, both sides have valid points…yea. But i believe there is no blueprint anywhere for handling men.
Its eitheryou do it the bible way if u are a lover of Christ or u do it wateva way that works for you.
Basically,no man is the same and so, no relationship is the same.
Work out your relationship with respect and understanding..
Watever works for another may not work for you.
Understand the basics of urs and learn to manage it properly as a superwoman!
i think a relationship is what the people in it make of it. its up to both of u to decide how it will go, if its going to be a "help each other approach", its ur chioce and if its going to be "am the king and u the slave approach" its your chioce. but u better make it before u enter the marriage is all. God help us all
Please why are we always told/expected to deal with the shit men dish out.
Guess the woman was just handing down the age long tradition.
some of the comments am reading from women in this article r baffling me! wait o. so if man use the bible to cage u up, u ma will use the bible to padlock the cage???? what is wrong with pple! how many centuries now have men been using the bible to support being bad husband??? d author isn't saying that women should be contentious or not build their homes. all she is saying is dat d emphasis should be put on the man as well as the woman!! Geez!
agree with ejire, in fact, i think i know this church and ejire sef….thats another issue
tho all the things the pastor said was right, sadly, but i dont see why anyone emphasises the roles of men and what they MUST do. we are just made to accept status quo.
my method is gently and subtly and prayerfully, i let him know his roles and what HE must do and how me MUST NEVER cheat on me cos i am not the sit-down-and-accept-life-the-way-it-is kind of woman.
maybe i should preach someday, sure u'd like that uh?! lol
SO LETS SAY, HOW WOULD ANY OF YOU LADIES FEEL IF YOU VISIT ANY OF YOUR BLOOD RELATIONS & SEE HIM DOING HIS WIFE LAUNDRY & COOKING WHILE THE WIFE STAYS IN THE SITTING ROOM /BEDROOM WATCHING FILM /READING NOVEL,NEWSPAPER ALL IN THE NAME OF IT BEING 50;50? please i want you all to chew on this thought BECAUSE WE ARE ALL GOING TO BE MOTHER-IN-LAWS IN FUTURE!
mmh……….. i will never understand this topic fully…. It just gets to me. But all in all, what i always remember is that disobedience to God's word is HELL FIRE straight up. Whatever it takes in exhibiting the fruit of the spirit to put my flesh under………… i'm gonna do it. When we get down to basics, its just self esteem and self worth………..
Cheers ladies
It's interesting how some quote a bible verse & then contradict it by their explanation.
The man being the head, the "Chief Executive Oficer" has the bulk of responsibilities in a marrige. I am gobsmacked when people say that the man is the head of the man & then supply that the woman is "the pillar", "the builder", "the success or failure depends on her" bla bla bla…
The wife is to serve as a complement, a helper to her man. She should be submissive & respectful to her mate.
The man is asked to love his wife as himself, as christ loved the congregation.
Would a man look forward to another full-time work at home after the one he's done in the office all day? A loving husband wouldn't think twice about helping out in house chores & those other things the preacher outlined. Though I wonder why a woman should be preaching in church in the first place…
LOL @ d reaason U left Ur church, which also speaks to whether women hate each other of not. d guy is a cheating SOB, but U have to run, becuz U (mainly by the women) would be accused, judged and probably executed for it.
I cant say dat women hate each other, but I think dat we compete wit each other on VERY personal levels, dat r NOT condusive 2 building strong, solid or lasting relationships. Lovely blog by d way
Did Bolu just say " it is a man's world"? oh, you are one of those that believe in this erronous saying. No wonder the world is turned upside down.
I left my church for a lot of reasons but oen was because all the preaching around women even by the pastor's wife was just like the one in this article. No one tells the men that all the ROLES can be learnt and shared! I am a feminist and a firm believer in equality. Both men and women can both do goood, share good, look good for each other, cook for each other etc!
You left your church cuz of that stupid married man! You didnt show the text messages to the pastor and asked for him to be warned or you call him aside to talk sense into him!
Ejire, you fall my hand. You should have warned the man seriously and exposed him when he persisted. The young new bride doesn't need that kind of a two timing bastard.
To all you women coming up and saying its a man's world, remember you were all created to be help meet for the man not a punching bag or some sort of slave.
Men should begin to understand that what they don't give they cannot get. MUTUAL RESPECT IS THE KEY WORD.
Sorry 4 those experiences but let me leave you with this "if you treat a woman like a queen,you'll be her king".
this is hillarious but very true. i dont even think women know what should be. Alot of women just take what was passed down to them from their mothers without thinking twice or asking questions. All these cook,wash,submit, encourage love…..bla…bla…..
Women are the only sex group that really dont like themselves;we hate,we envy,we scrutinize,all sorts without thinking twice;infact some people say its a woman's thing.
The moment i recognise all these "women traits", i sincerely started working on myself,consciously assisting other women,encourage them to do stuff they always want to do,assist and all. Lets take a step,1 by 1 and lets stop being our own hatters. Love you great women!!! i'm not a femminist though….Lol
I don't think it's about hate. I think it's about ignorance that some women don't even know they have. Women are their own worst enemies when it comes to feminism and stuff.
If women have 'musts' then men must have 'musts' too. Geez

Here is a website that goes over the many symptoms of Menopause
I'm not sure how much I'll share on this blog, many things I'll put on my private blog.
It's important to know what is going on with your body.
I figure there are lots of women my age and older who are starting to experience this stuff.
I am actually on the young side and am doing some research but believe it may be because before I had kids I was treated with Lupron.
I had endometriosis and I wanted a baby. I actually went through two rounds of shots which puts you in a pseudo menopause. I had all of the classic symptoms of menopause it was just drug induced.
This time it's for real. Awhile back I posted about my peri-menopausal symptoms and I get a lot of google hits on that so I hope this helps someone else.
I urge you to get your hormone levels tested. I have been using progesterone cream for a year now and it helps but I'm still having intense symptoms.
I just had my hormones checked and I have EXTREMELY low Estrogen, yes I'm only 37, well I'll be 38 soon...
I have just started on Bio-identical hormones. I highly recommend a natural or holistic doctor or at least one open to alternative methods. I believe (you can find lots of research on it)that synthetic hormones are bad for you and cause many more health problems.
Today for Show and Tell, I've brought a tiny marvel of nature: a single snowflake. I think we might all learn a lesson from how this utterly unique and exquisite crystal turns into an ordinary, boring molecule of water, just like every other one, when you bring it in the classroom. And now, while the analogy sinks in, I'll be leaving you drips and going outside." ~ Calvin, from Calvin & Hobbes

If you've been keeping up current events, you might have already seen the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terror group executed another American citizen. What I don't understand is that the American government has access to the best technology in order spy on its own citizens here in America. So, you want me to believe that no one in our government can't or doesn't know how to find this terror group? You can miss me with that shit. I refuse to believe that.
If I were the President of the United States, I would allow congress to spend copious amounts of money on finding this group WITHOUT putting groups on the ground. If I told my troops, to their face, that I would not commit them to another ground war in Iraq, I would firmly stand by my word. As far as I've seen the America public is split about this issue. Additionally, what sense does it make to commit troops to another war when you're telling the Department of Defense that we need a reduction in our force?
I'm willing to bet that the majority of the American public only knows ISIS for a terror group. That is true, but they're more than just a terror group. Here are some fun facts about this terror group:
• Who They Are: ISIS stands for Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). The group is trying to form an independent state with territory in Iraq, Syria, and parts of Lebanon. They are led by an Iraqi cleric who goes by the name Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
• What They Do: ISIS has been fighting against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad as well as other militant Islamic groups in Syria for control of parts of Syria while also fighting the Iraqi government in its quest to form the unified ISIS state. Its brutal tactics have been disavowed as too extreme by al Qaeda's leader Ayman al-Zawahiri.
• How Powerful They Are: ISIS forces took Mosul, the third biggest city in Iraq and the biggest one along the Iraq-Syria border. When they took the city, the ISIS seized more than $400 million from city banks, making it richer than many small nations. According to the Associated Press ISIS has also taken effective control of Tikrit, where Saddam Hussein was born.
• How They're Able to Fight: Since it controls cities on either side of the Syria-Iraq border, ISIS forces were able to quickly move weapons seized from Mosul into Syria. The weapons, including Humvees, rifles, missiles and ammunition, will help arm ISIS in its fights on both sides of the border.
• The State They Want to Create: The territory in the western part of Iraq that ISIS wants is made up of mostly Sunni Muslims, as is the part of Syria that ISIS wants. Many Sunni Muslims in Iraq have joined ISIS in fighting against the Iraqi Army, which is under the control of a Shiite minority that mainly lives on the other side of the country.
There's A TON more information, but I gave you the abridged version so you wouldn't get bored.
If you've ever served in the United States military and have ever been deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan, you know how serious Muslims are about their religion. I AM NOT CALLING ALL MUSLIMS TERRORISTS! When I speak of Muslims in this post I am speaking about the Radical Islamists. Now add a dose of ridiculous ideals to what they already believe and that only intensifies their cause.
I would like to go into more detail, but I will do that at another time. I just wanted us REGULAR folks to know the basics of exactly what our government is attempting to disassemble.

The Hon. Charles Hamilton was one of those extraordinary eighteenth-century gentlemen who, like Lord Cobham at Stowe and Henry Hoare at Stourhead, turned their gardens into works of art. Inspired by his time in Italy, Hamilton set out to transform the accursed hill at Painshill in Surrey into a pictorial landscape complete with serpentine lake and water wheel, Turkish Tent, Chinese Bridge, Ruined Abbey, Grotto and Hermitage.
The garden soon ranked with the best in the land but it later lay forgotten until rediscovered in the 1970s. The restoration over the last thirty years or so has been as careful and dramatic as any. Now Painshill Park is visited by thousands and even the famous vineyard is flourishing again.
This book is fully illustrated with archive images and wonderful photographs of the park and its amazing buildings.
Contents Chapter 1: The gardens of Painshill Chapter 2: A brief history of the estate Chapter 3: The Hon. Charles Hamilton Chapter 4: Hamilton the collector Chapter 5: The lake Chapter 6: The buildings Chapter 7: The exotic and oriental Chapter 8: Hamilton's trees and shrubs Chapter 9: Images of Painshill Chapter 10: Hamilton and the Picturesque Chapter 11: The vineyard Chapter 12: Aftermath and restoration References Picture credits Acknowledgements Index
Michael Symes is a Trustee of Painshill Park and has undertaken much of the historical research that has underpinned the restoration. He has taught and directed the Birkbeck College MA in garden history and has written a number of books including A Glossary of Garden History, The English Rococo Garden and Garden Sculpture.
The author of this scholarly and comprehensive book was involved in the resurrection of Painshill from the first, and has produced a beautifully illustrated volume that is worthy of of its subject. The photography is of high quality and it's a particular pleasure to see sketches - William Gilpin's urgent pen-and-inks, for example - reproduced so finely. Country Life Includes a stunning selection of photographs and illustrations of the garden's landscape and buildings. Heritage Very readable and accompanied by some highly evocative photographs. Image Interiors Everyone should lose themselves in 'Mr Hamilton's Elysium'. Homes & Gardens An illuminating tour around the crystal studded grotto, Turkish tent, American plant rarities and other features that have influenced generations of garden makers. Financial Times Charts the story of its creation with early prints, paintings and contemporary accounts together with modern photographs. It is a lavish guide to this extraordinary and influential garden, a place for inspired wandering. Guardian Symes is, as usual, lucid on the history and particularly interesting on the Herculean efforts needed to bring Painshill back from the near abandon it had reached by 1970. Historic Gardens Review In an exceptional book, Michael Symes conjures up the highs and lows of Painshill's history with a rare combination of scholarship and readability. Art Newspaper A book for everyone. The general reader can learn about one of Britain's most important landscape gardens. The undergraduate studying art or social history can find a great case study in eighteenth-century culture and taste. And the academic historian who specialises in art, gardens or botany can find detailed discussions of each of these subjects, supported by scholarly references. Project managers should find it interesting too, for the book is an object lesson in how a group of people can succeed in acheiving their long-term goals with careful planning and management, teamwork and volunteer recruitment, and fund-raising.

Having good oral hygiene is the foundation to a healthy mouth and a healthy lifestyle. Unfortunately, practicing good oral hygiene habits can be difficult to manage without the proper guidance, which is why children are at risk for dental problems. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), "Children aged 5 to 19 years from low-income families are twice as likely (25%) to have cavities, compared with children from higher-income households (11%)" (cdc.gov, 2012).
Adults, on the other hand, are at higher risk of dental problems based on age and the inevitability of decay. The CDC has reported that "Blacks and Mexican Americans aged 35–44 years experience untreated tooth decay nearly twice as much as white, non-Hispanics" and "47.2% of U.S. adults have some form of periodontal disease" (cdc.gov, 2016).
Fortunately, people who may suffer from tooth decay and periodontal diseases have a better chance of saving their smiles through good oral hygiene practices. At Mission Peak Dental Care in Fremont, we help all of our patients follow good oral hygiene habits.
If it has been past one year since your last dental checkup, it is time for you to schedule an appointment at Mission Peak Dental Care in Fremont. Call Mission Peak Dental Care in Fremont to schedule an appointment today.
Good oral hygiene is important and it requires daily attention. For example, good oral hygiene requires brushing teeth daily, flossing daily, and rinsing with mouthwash daily. Unfortunately, most people don't realize the importance of these daily routines until their breath starts to stink. Well, bad breath is just the beginning of the health problems that can arise from poor oral hygiene.
The main reason good oral hygiene is important is to fight off bacteria in the mouth, which is the foundation to oral conditions such as gingivitis, plaque and tartar, and chronic bad breath. Oral bacteria can have several adverse effects on a person's teeth and overall health.
The Connection Between Oral Hygiene and Personal Health
Most people are confused about how good oral hygiene can influence good health. Researchers have found a direct connection between good oral hygiene habits and positive health. Studies have suggested that poor oral hygiene and a build-up of bacteria may even contribute to cancer and strokes based on the continuous battle the immune system faces because of that built-up bacteria. When the immune system is constantly battling the bacteria in the mouth, blood pressure rises and other types of viruses become strong enough to invade the system.
Bacteria loves an environment that is warm and moist so it can grow, and the mouth is the ideal location for bacterial growth because it satisfies both conditions and it leads directly to the throat and stomach, which can lead to other conditions in the body. However, bacteria can be prevented from spreading to other parts of the body by simply brushing, flossing, and rinsing with mouthwash. This is exactly why practicing good oral hygiene is important for everyone.
If you have not received a dental checkup in over a year, it is time for you to schedule an appointment at Mission Peak Dental Care in Fremont. A teeth cleaning and oral check-up can help you prevent the build-up of bacteria in the mouth and improve your overall health. Call Mission Peak Dental Care in Fremont to schedule an appointment today.

Exploring the Sacred Valley
Reasonably priced for a ten hour adventure, the bus shuttles us around the mountains stopping in Pisac, Ollantaytambo, and Chinchero. I am a bit put off when a tourist market is the first stop instead of the promised ruins; however, the stop is brief and I find solace in chatting with two other folks from China and Slovenia who are equally anxious to see the ruins.

Tricorn hat
Tricorn Hat
Tricorn hat is an headgear-type item in Fallout 4.
The tricorne or tricorn is a style of hat that was popular during the 18th century, falling out of style by 1800, though actually not called a "tricorne" until the mid 1800s. During the 18th century hats of this general style were referred to as "cocked hats." At the peak of its popularity, the tricorne varied greatly in style and size, and was worn not only by the aristocracy, but also as common civilian dress, and as part of military and naval uniforms.[1]
This particular tricorne was the property of the John Hancock. It made its way into a display at the Old State House along with his frock coat where it stayed for the next two hundred years. It was after a chem induced blackout that Hancock awoke and donned the outfit. Taking its famous owner's name and persona as his own.[2]
Typically made from animal fiber, the more expensive being of beaver-hair felt and the less expensive of wool felt, the hat's most distinguishing characteristic was that three sides of the brim were turned up (cocked) and either pinned, laced or buttoned in place to form a triangle around the crown. The style served two purposes: first, it allowed stylish gentlemen to show off the most current fashions of their wigs, and thus their social status; and secondly, the cocked hat, with its folded brim, was much smaller than other hats and therefore could be more easily tucked under an arm when going inside a building, where social etiquette dictated that a gentleman remove his hat. Tricornes with laced sides could have the laces loosened and the sides dropped down to provide better protection from the weather, sun and rain.[1]
This particular tricorne is well worn, surviving four hundred years. It is dirty and secured near the points rather than in the middle.
This item provides the following: Charisma +1.
This item has the following modification slots: None.
- The tricorn hat is worn by Hancock, mayor of Goodneighbor and potential companion. It can be acquired either through trade or pickpocketing it.

- ↑ The Sole Survivor: "Was there no one who could have helped?"
Hancock: "Who knows. Maybe. Honestly we were all so terrified, we couldn't bring ourselves to move until it was over, let alone get help. I felt like less than nothing. Afterwards, I got so high, I blacked out completely. When I finally came to, I was on the floor of the Old State House. Right in front of the clothes of John Hancock. John Hancock, first American hoodlum and defender of the People. I might've still been high, but those clothes spoke to me, told me what I needed to do. I smashed the case, put them on, and started a new life. As Hancock. After that, I went clean for a bit, got organized, convinced Kleo to loan me some hardware. Got a crew of drifters together and headed out into the ruins, started training. Next time Vic's boys went on their tear, we'd be ready for 'em."
(Hancock's dialogue)

Work has been super busy (with very exciting, interesting new projects – very lucky to love what I do so much!), so I haven't had much time to post recently. But, I have several new recipes (and workouts) in the queue that I'll (hopefully) be posting this week. 🙂
When life is hectic, I like to make meals that are still very flavorful even though they are simple – that way, I don't get tired of them, even if I eat the same meal a couple times a week. A huge part of the success of a simple recipe is choosing quality ingredients. The food tastes much better, without needing to mask the protein/vegetables with a ton of oil/sauces/etc.
Another key part of successful cooking is choosing spices wisely. I love using different salts – I've recently been using fleur de sel and pequin chili salt, but I also love using gray, red and pink salts as well for slight flavor variations. I keep a full stock of Penzey's spices on hand (their Indian cumin, toasted onion powder, ancho pepper, and Ceylon cinnamon are favorites, but I love almost everything they sell). Finally, I use a ton of fresh herbs (from Keith's Farm) – garlic is an essential, but I also pick up the parsley, chocolate mint (3 leaves in a glass of ice cold water or iced coffee == divine), rosemary, tarragon, cilantro, oregano and basil every week. Experimenting with different flavor combinations allows for endless variations on the same recipe – a recent favorite spice blend is a paste formed of 3 fresh garlic cloves with some fennel seeds, fleur de sel, rosemary, and tarragon. It works great on pork and turkey.
My main ingredients almost all come from the Union Square Farmer's market, but it is getting easier and easier to get high quality protein from most supermarkets. I've been getting on-the-bone chicken breasts from Grazin Angus Acres for years (their eggs are also the best I've ever tasted and have the darkest, yellow-orange yolks) – the chicken is much more flavorful and stays juicy even when baked in the oven. Recently, I've been obsessed with spigarello from the Mountain Sweet Berry Farm. Spigarello is an heirloom varietal of broccoli leaves – it tastes similar to broccoli rabe or other slightly bitter greens. It is bright green, super crisp, and pairs well with red meat, chicken and fish. If you can't find spigarello, lacinato kale or other similar greens are a great substitute.
Lemon Chicken and Spigarello
Servings: 6
Prep Time: 15 min (plus 1-2 hours marinade time)
Cook Time: 60 min
- 6 bone-in chicken breasts (you can use boneless, skinless chicken breasts as well, but may need to add 1T macadamia or avocado oil to the pan when searing them)
- 1 T macadamia nut oil
- 3 meyer lemons
- 3 cloves garlic
- 4 sprigs parsley
- 2 T minced chives
- 1/2 minced rosemary
- 1/2 T each salt, pepper, toasted onion powder
- 6 cups spigarello
- 1 tsp macadamia nut oil
- 1 clove garlic
- salt and pepper to taste
(1) Pat the chicken breasts dry and season liberally with salt, pepper and onion powder. Allow the chicken to sit with the spices while you prepare the other ingredients.
(2) Zest one lemon and reserve the lemon juice. Cut the other two lemons into thin slices. Mince the garlic and herbs. Combine the macadamia nut oil, lemon juice, zest, slices, herbs, and an additional 1/2 tsp of salt and pepper and pour over the chicken. I like to use a bag so that I can spread the mixture evenly over the chicken. It also makes way less mess! Put the seasoned chicken into the refrigerator for 1-2 hours or more (you can also do this a day ahead.)
(3) When the chicken is nearly done marinading, heat up a pan on high heat. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 375 degrees. I like to use a Scanpan – they work very well on high heat without everything sticking to the pan. Place the chicken in the pan, bone side up, covered in all the lemon slices and herbs from the marinade. Leave them cooking for 8-10 minutes without touching the chicken. As the chicken begins to cook, they will initially stick to the pan and be hard to flip without a lot of meat/spices sticking to the pan. However, as the outer layer of the chicken sears and browns, it will naturally separate from the pan and be easy to flip without losing any meat. So, no touching, no peeking. 🙂
(4) After 8-10 minutes, flip the chicken and do the same thing on the other side for an additional 10-12 min. The chicken should have a golden brown color, but will still be raw in the middle.
(5) Once the chicken has finished searing on the stovetop, either put the entire pan in the oven (if using an oven-safe pan), or transfer the breasts to a foil-lined baking sheet and cook for an additional 25-30 min on 375. I needed my big pan, so I transferred to a baking sheet – which also is very easy to clean up when lined with two sheets of foil. The lemon should get a nice char and will continue to release juices into the chicken during this final stage of cooking.
(6) While the chicken bakes, you can make the spigarello. Boil about 2 cups of water with 1/2 tsp salt. When the water reaches a boil, throw in the chopped spigarello and blanch for about 3 min (until the leaves turn bright green).
(7) Drain the spigarello and saute on medium high heat with 1 tsp oil for about 3 minutes. Add salt, pepper, and garlic and cook for 1 more minute. If you want an extra kick, you can also drizzle the juice of half a lemon over the cooked spigarello.

You are here
Luteal phase insufficient
After reading taking charge of your fertility, even though I am yet to finish the book . I learnt a lot and I plan on starting to chart on this platform late January , that is because I was waiting on my CD 1 and more because I was using another platform where I chat before i ever got to know about ovagraph.
From my chart I could tell my ovulation didn't occur until CD 21, which implies normally at a minimal I should have a 34days cycle. At CD 28 another thermal shift occurred (causing a tri-phasic chart as it's higher than the rest) but unfortunately the day that follows a decline in temperature resumed and on CD 31 I got a spotting of black blood ,same on CD 32 and followed a full red on CD 32. Today been day 34 or rightly suppose to be CD 1
My question ; 1) when should I count as CD 1
2) what will you suggest I do
3) would you be fine with me sharing my chart here so that you can see what I am trying to explain above .
I am in serious need of your advice . Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us
Since it doesn't look like your cycle is available on OvaGraph, its tough for me to give too much feedback. But I would recommend that you are taking those readings in the same 30 minute window each morning prior to getting out of bed or moving around too much. I would recommend setting an alarm just taking those readings reach morning for taking those readings. If you don't have to be up quiet as early one morning, you can always go back to sleep after taking that reading.
Can you clarify your question for me so I can help answer please?

Crowning Moment
Then all of a sudden it seemed like someone pressed fast forward. There was the Princess Ball at the Skokie Library. Cuteness Overload!! Next, it was off to teen prelims! I showed up in the lobby feeling fantastic in my all white, jersey Jovani dress and then in walks Miss Midwest, Megan Herickhoff and Miss Pennsylvania, Julia Pauline!! Normally having another girl, not to mention two, wearing a dress similar to yours would be a level 10 crisis! But not for us! We thought it was hilarious!
