Background Story: I've decided to sit down and revive this project that I worked on in the past; I've procrastinated for a very long time in finishing some minor edits to the video. To those of you who have seen the "Serendipity" concept video, you should know that the video quality in the export sucked!!! There were so many cool details that were left out because of its poor quality. But worst of all, I used some demo program to publish the video so I had this huge watermark logo masking the whole video. Although it's subtle and you have to focus hard to notice it, it irks my design blood.
Serendipity article in "Time Out Dubai" Magazine Also featured on Core77
So lets get started:
A photo collage of the prototypes. Gives you a sense of scale.
At the time I was reading Orwell's 1984 and I was totally fascinated by the similarities between the book and social networking. Abstractly, we can use a social network like Facebook and/or MySpace in a "big brother" type of way. I wanted to embrace this scary thought; could we flip the negative connotation into something friendlier and fun? Is there a way for surveillancing to be experienced equally, then would we all be jaded and living socially be welcomed?
Scroll to bottom to see video.
I was solely interested in connecting people and social networking was one of the first tools to help with this. I am uninterested in pointless relationships, so how could we connect people who have simliar interest or maybe enjoy similar hobbies. I wondered in what way can I filter out the bullshit and connect Ernie with Bert, while getting past having to befriend Big Bird and Elmo. I wanted results.
As the project progressed further it became overwhelming and too difficult to explain the concept in just sketches, models and image boards. The best way for me to explain the concept was to make a video: (so im going to keep the writing short! ahha)

South Shropshire gold ring declared 'treasure'
A coroner has ruled that a 1,500-year-old gold ring found by a metal detectorist is treasure.
It was found in south Shropshire in August.
Peter Reavill, finds liaison officer for the county, said Shropshire Museums would like to buy the ring.
The treasury will now appoint an expert to decide an open market value for it. Proceeds of any sale would be split between the discoverer and the owner of the land where it was found.
'High status'
Experts at the British Museum said the ring, which weighs 8.21g (0.3oz), is 93% gold.
Their report said it probably dated from the early medieval period, the beginning of the Dark Ages after the end of the Roman occupation of Britain.
Mr Reavill said: "The really interesting part from a county view is that it has been found in south Shropshire, which is not known for its high status post Roman sites."
For an item to be declared treasure it has to be more than 300 years old and has to contain more than 10% precious metal.
The Shropshire coroner, John Ellery, ruled that the ring was treasure at an inquest held in Bridgnorth.
The British Museum has said it would attempt to buy the ring "should local efforts fail".

DeConcini Federal Court - a criminal, not an immigration, court
Magistrate: Bruce MacDonald
U.S. Federal Prosecutor: Lewis
Samaritans: Sara Busey, Alan Koch
Visitors: None
A full house of 75. The sheer number may have caused the prosecutor to be less than thorough as several migrants had hearings delayed while a further investigation was held. In one case, he took back a migrant's misdemeanor charge and left the felony one, making him ineligible for Streamline. Another was held back in order to get a translator. Two migrants were dismissed to return to their country. Most were apprehended near Sasabe, then Nogales and Lukeville.
For the second time, one of the migrants sat through the hearing receiving English instead of Spanish through his earphones. MacDonald took time at the hearing's end to, in detail and with compassion, go over what he had said to the other migrants.
No migrants spoke except to say, "SI," "No," and "guilty."
All together, the 70 migrants remaining will spend 5105 days in prison for a cost to taxpayers of $821,905.
According to Simon Eduardo Loera-Lar's (17-20744M) lawyer Juliana Ore-Giron, he was not asked when he was apprehended if he had a "credible fear of persecution" in his home country. She told this to the magistrate to get it on the court record, but also put a note to that effect in his file.

Assessment changes 2015 – 2016:
For students currently in years 7 8 and 9
Students in year 7 8 and 9 receive feedback on how they are achieving and progressing in lessons in a variety of ways, all designed to support your child's learning. As before, students will receive written feedback from their teachers in their books, as you will have seen we use a system of WWW (what went well) and EBI (even better if) to structure each piece of regular feedback. This is in addition to other written and verbal feedback provided to each student. Students are them asked to respond to the teacher's feedback, improving on their previous learning. We strongly believe that this provides the most detailed, and effective way for students to improve on their previous learning. In addition, each term students receive a "pit stop" sticker in their brains, which is traffic lighted (red green and yellow) to show how much progress they made in the previous term.
Finally, when students complete summative tests, instead of levels (4.2 4.5 4.8 etc) students will receive a percentage score for each assessment. This acts as a guide to students about how well they have achieved in their test, and allows them to compare their achievement to their peers in their class, and how they achieved in previous topics and skills in that subject.
As students move through the year, they might see their percentage scores vary, and go up and down, this is quite natural and allows teacher and student to build a picture together of each student's strengths and weakness and talents for particular skill areas.
Students and parents will receive an updated copy of this report every six weeks, with Maths and English percentages effort and homework are updated every term, and all other subjects updated as a minimum at Christmas, Easter and at the end of the year.
Summarising assessments in this way will provide you and your child with a clear overview of how well they have achieved in their assessments, as well as a clear insight into how they can improve through the feedback provided in their books. We strongly encourage all students to take home their books and share what they have learnt, and where they need to improve.
Each Christmas Easter and summer term we will also provide a guide to the GCSE level at which your child is currently working at. As you will have heard, GCSE grades are changing from next year, with the traditional A*-G grades being replaced with numbers 9-1. This change is being phased in over a number of years, but will be the system used for all subject by the time year 8 students reach year 11. GCSE grades can be compared to the new 9-1 grades as follows:
At the end of each term, you and your child will receive the percentage scores shown above, and at the end of each Christmas Easter and summer term the GCSE level that your child's work has demonstrated that term:

The research focuses on understanding molecular mechanisms that allow these fibrils to overcome defense barriers in the body, and transfer the amyloid fold to other proteins.
The self-assembly of proteins into amyloid fibrils plays a role in Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and other protein aggregation diseases. Recent reports suggest that these fibrils can transmit their fold in a prion-like mechanism. Several food proteins can also organize into amyloid fibrils. Moreover, their stability, mechanical properties and nanoscale organization makes amyloids attractive building blocks for protein based advanced materials. Considering the proposed transmission mechanism of the amyloid fold, prolonged exposure to food or material related fibrils may thus pose a health risk.
The currently available tools to evaluate the risks associated with exposure to amylodogenic proteins are limited and do not keep pace with new developments. Towards a predictive tool that can be used in risk assessment, you will investigate the relation between the physicochemical properties of amyloid aggregates and the two main risk factors: 1) The ability of amyloids to diffuse over (model systems of) the mucosal hydrogel barriers that protect the human body and brain 2) The ability of amyloids to induce fibrillar aggregation of disease related body proteins.
We look for a highly motivated and ambitious PhD candidate with a MSc degree in the field of physical chemistry, biochemistry or biophysics and an interest in understanding underlying molecular mechanisms. You preferably have practical experience with protein handling, microscopy, spectroscopy and microfluidic systems. You are motivated to learn and apply modern technologies.

Who We Are...
Genesis Alcohol & Addiction Alternatives, Inc. is the sole authorized BioCorRx Recovery Program provider in Florida. We are committed to fulfilling the mission and philosophy of the BioCorRx Corporation, sole distributor of the BioCorRx long-lasting Naltrexone implant in the United States. We encourage you to learn more details about BioCorRx and its program by visiting, www.beataddiction.com.
The solution you've been waiting for...
Emphasis On Simplification, Discretion, and Confidentiality.
One-on-One Specialist Care
Individual attention and care is central to our program. From beginning to end, you will have the same point of contact, a Certified Addictions Professional and Licensed Mental Health Counselor with many years of experience in the field. This person will enroll you, schedule your preliminary physical, blood tests, and EKG, schedule the implant surgery, arrange for peer support , and provide your counseling. Your success is our mission.
The Advanced Naltrexone Implant
The cornerstone of our revolutionary addiction recovery program is the long-acting implant of the non-addictive, self-releasing, FDA approved medication Naltrexone in a specifically compounded form that eliminates or dramatically suppresses the euphoria and physical cravings associated with opiate drug or alcohol addiction. The implant typically lasts six months, during which time, you will participate in our copyrighted structured program to prepare you to continue drug or alcohol free.
Naltrexone Implant
Unlike methadone or suboxone, the Naltrexone implant is NON-ADDICTIVE. It is also biodegradable and releases the medication inside the body through two time-release pellets. The powerful medication eliminates or significantly decreases physical cravings connected with alcohol or opiate addiction and lasts about 6 months. Not only does the implant eliminate or significantly decrease cravings, it has another benefit: If the client decides to drink or use an opiate, he/she will feel no benefit -- the implant blocks the effect of the alcohol or drug.
Effective Counseling
After implantation of our exclusive long-lasting (generally 6 months) Naltrexone, cravings are quelled for most people, and counseling can begin. The counseling component involves 16-20 sessions identifying 35 key areas delivered via comprehensive modules written by BioCorRx addiction experts. The modules are specifically designed for clients using the BioCorRx exclusive long-lasting implant. Clients generally complete the counseling sessions within 90-120 days, though there is no time limit. At this same time, the Peer Support begins. Where distance is a factor, sessions can be done via Skype.
Life in Recovery
Testimonials from people who have chosen the BioCorRx Naltrexone implant program attest to the success of the program. (Check out our testimonial videos below.) While the implant is blocking cravings and relapse, you will have on average 6 months to implement and practice the strategies you learn in counseling, before the implant wears off completely. You can begin living the life you really want free from the grip of addiction. Recovery is possible, and life in recovery is sweet. It is our mission to help you get there.

Watch these four stories and see how The BioCorRx® Recovery Program has impacted their lives.
You've got questions. We've got answers.
What is the BioCorRx® Recovery Program (formerly the Start Fresh Program®)?
The BioCorRx Recovery Program is an outpatient medication-assisted treatment (MAT) program for alcohol and opioid drug addiction. The comprehensive program is comprised of two parts: (1) an implant, of a proprietary compounded formulation of the non-addictive medication, naltrexone. The naltrexone implant, which is prescribed by a licensed physician and implanted under the skin, can reduce the cravings for opioids and alcohol, and block opioid euphoric effect, over an extended period of time and (2) uniquely and specifically structured, intensive one-on-one addiction counseling program developed by BioCorRx, Inc.® (the "Counseling Program").
What is naltrexone?
Naltrexone is an FDA approved medicine that serves as an opioid receptor antagonist. It is used primarily in the treatment of alcohol and opioid dependence. Naltrexone blocks certain receptors in the part of the brain that trigger dopamine release and reinforces the vicious and compulsive addiction feedback loop. When these areas of the brain are blocked, the craving for alcohol and opioids is eliminated or significantly reduced. And if alcohol is consumed, the pleasure is very limited and the uncontrollable cascade of relapse is much less likely. If opioids are used, it can block their effects.
Why is the elimination of cravings important? The freedom from the physical cravings for alcohol and drugs is critical. By removing the intrusive compulsion to drink or use, patients can refocus on their life, their relationships, their family, and the long term psychosocial-behavioral aspect of the recovery. It is of particular importance during the first six months of recovery.
Is the naltrexone implant FDA approved?
The FDA has not given a specific approval for the administration of naltrexone by having it implanted under the skin of an individual. Prescription uses of naltrexone can be administered in several forms – as a pill and as a monthly injection. The implant is compounded for an individual only after a prescription is written by a properly credentialed medical provider (MD, PA, DO or NP) who has determined that his or her patient is a good candidate for the implant. Only a licensed medical provider can insert the implant into a patient who consents to this treatment option. Regulations may vary by state in regards to what medical credentials are required to prescribe and/or insert the implant.
The implant is a specially compounded, implantable formulation of naltrexone that is made specifically for each individual program participant only after a prescription is written by a medical caregiver who deems that the individual patient is a good candidate for the implant formulation. Compounding is a common and legal process used by licensed pharmacies to create special formulation and/or combinations of FDA approved drugs by prescription. The pharmacies that make each implant must strictly follow state and federal compounding laws. Naltrexone implants have been used successfully and safely worldwide for approximately 20 years. Tens of thousands of individuals worldwide have successfully undergone treatment for addiction with the use of naltrexone implants.
Explain what a compounded formulation is.
Have any clinical trials been conducted on the BioCorRx® Recovery Program?
No. There have been no clinical trials testing the efficacy of the BioCorRx® Recovery Program. There may be clinical trials in the future.
Is naltrexone addictive?
Naltrexone is not addictive, and there is no physical dependence. It does not produce a "high" or any feelings or sensations that could be considered pleasurable or addictive. In addition, there is no physical withdrawal or evidence of rebound drinking or using when naltrexone wears off or is discontinued.
Does naltrexone cure alcoholism or opioid addiction?
No. Alcoholism and drug addiction is a chronic, complex, and multi-factorial disease. There is no magic cure. It should be considered a chronic brain disease. Alcoholism, as with most addictions, is a result of psychosocial AND physiological malfunctions. BOTH the physical aspect and the psychosocial/behavioral/emotional aspect of this disease should be addressed to have the highest chance of obtaining, and maintaining, sobriety.
Why have I not heard of medicines available to assist alcoholics and addicts in their struggle?
This is a very good question. Our country's treatment of addiction has been absurdly ineffective and misguided since its inception. We have done a great job with the psychosocial/behavioral aspect of addiction but still have abysmally low rates of sobriety. Why is that? It is because the physiologic and pharmacologic aspect of treatment has been ignored and under-developed. It would be unheard of to withhold insulin from an un-controlled diabetic and insist upon only providing intensive nutritional and exercise recommendations. Proper nutrition and exercise would certainly help, and that behavioral modification is required for success. But, quite simply, for many diabetics this would not be sufficient. Many diabetics require insulin in addition to dietary modification and motivation. The treatment of addiction should be approached in this comprehensive manner as well.
What are the common side effects of naltrexone?
Naltrexone has proven record of safety. It is a very safe and well tolerated medicine. The most common side effects of naltrexone, that occur in the minority of patients are nausea, diarrhea, headache, dizziness, fatigue, insomnia and anxiety. If present, most side effects are mild and self-limiting. Often, it is difficult to determine whether the symptoms are true side effects, or a result of the body's detoxification from chronic alcohol and drug dependence. Although exquisitely rare, in supra-therapeutic doses on pre-disposed individuals. Naltrexone has been noted to have inflammatory effects on the liver, so routine blood testing of liver function should be performed prior to treatment. Uncommonly, program participants may report depression or exacerbation of pre-existing mood disorders including suicidal ideation. For a more detailed report on side effects of naltrexone, click here.
What are the potential complications from receiving a naltrexone implant?
Naltrexone is a very safe medication that has been used for many years. The implants are generally very well tolerated. Beside the side-effects mentioned above, program participants can report itching, tenderness, swelling, pain, irritation, inflammation, or infection around the surgical site. The majority of cases of irritation or inflammation resolve with time. Often, antihistamines and topical and/or oral steroids are used to help treat the local inflammation. In cases of infection, antibiotics may be needed. In the very unlikely case of severe infection or inflammation, a doctor may recommend removal of the implant. The implant is contraindicated in individuals with acute hepatitis, advanced liver disease, or kidney failure. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult with their physician before beginning a naltrexone treatment. The implant is surgically placed, and there will be a small linear surgical scar. Each individual scars differently. In some cases, a small nodule of fibrous tissue may remain palpable under the skin. Although very unlikely, as with any foreign body there is a risk of rejection, tissue breakdown, and necrosis.
How does naltrexone react with other medications?
Consult with a physician, but most medications can be taken while on naltrexone. It's important to let the doctor know what medications are being taken prior to naltrexone therapy so that any contraindications can be determined. Naltrexone will block the effect of opioid pain relievers so it is important to notify medical personnel if you are receiving naltrexone treatment. It may also render cough and cold medications containing opioids ineffective. During naltrexone therapy, program participants carry a medical card that may be carried discreetly in one's wallet or purse. In the event of that someone on naltrexone therapy requires pain relief due to any medical circumstances, alternative analgesia or high doses of opioid medication may be administered in the monitored hospital setting. There are a number of readily available alternative pain relievers that can be used in conjunction with naltrexone. Acetaminophen, aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, gabapentin, lidocaine patches, muscle relaxers, steroids, and various other alternative pain relief and anti-inflammatory medications may be effectively used while on naltrexone therapy. In addition, the implant can be removed and narcotics administered after naltrexone is out of the patient's system. This can take several hours or days.
Can I just take the oral form of naltrexone?
Yes, you can. Naltrexone in the oral or injectable form does work, but there are distinct advantages to receiving a naltrexone implant. The implant releases a slow and steady dose of naltrexone into the body over many months resulting in consistent drug levels and long lasting effective suppression of the cravings and opioid effectiveness. There are significantly fewer fluctuations in the drug levels, which tends to maintain a more reliable and steady suppression of the cravings. Most importantly, having the implant removes the critical issue of daily medication compliance typically seen in most program participants dealing with addiction. When taking naltrexone orally a program participant often skips a dose or sleeps in too late, or forgets to pack the medication on travel or may be unable to get a refill, or more commonly, may be deceived into believing that they are now in control and no longer require the medicine. Each of these scenarios illustrate how medication non-compliance often leads to relapse.
What if I'm addicted to opioids (often referred to as Opiates), can I receive the implant?
Yes. Naltrexone is FDA approved for the treatment of opioid addiction but there are additional considerations that must be made. Opioid recovery should be managed by a medical caregiver who has training and experience in treating opioid addiction. The naltrexone implant used in the BioCorRx Recovery Program has been used successfully for many years by doctors in Australia to treat opioid addiction. BioCorRx does not render medical advice or make medical decisions in this regard. An independent prescribing doctor may deem he long-lasting compounded naltrexone implant as a safe and appropriate treatment for his patient in opioid recovery. Most doctors require that patients be at least 7 to 10 days opioid-free before receiving any type of naltrexone treatment. Please speak to a licensed physician about naltrexone use to opioid addiction treatment. There are associated risks if you attempt to abuse narcotics while on naltrexone. There is a life threatening risk of overdose if you attempt to overcome the antagonist properties of naltrexone. Furthermore, tolerance is dramatically lower after just a short time of opioid abstinence, so once the naltrexone implant has dissolved and is no longer providing effective levels in the serum, there is significantly higher risk of fatal drug overdose if relapse.
Why is the one-on-one intensive counseling program necessary?
The BioCorRx® Recovery Program is comprehensive, so as to provide each program participant the highest opportunity for success. In addition to utilizing medicine to address the physical and neurobiological aspect of the disease, program participants will engage in intensive and individualized one-on-one sessions with licensed drug and alcohol counselors (most of whom are recovered addicts.) As discussed above, to obtain and maintain sobriety, the physical AND the psychosocial/behavioral aspect of addiction must be addressed. The naltrexone implant is a very effective tool that, in some people, virtually eliminates the physical cravings for an extended period of time. Once physical cravings are suppressed, the individual can then focus entirely on the equally important and difficult psychosocial aspect of the recovery. Study after study indicates that medical therapy in combination with counseling is superior to medical therapy or counseling alone. It is critical to understand that addiction is a lifelong struggle. Our program has remarkable success in assisting to accomplish sobriety in the vast majority of program participants. Once successfully enrolled in our program, and liberated from the shackles of alcohol or drug addiction, we strongly encourage and endorse long-term participation in support groups (12-step, or otherwise) to maintain personal focus, lifelong surveillance, and to offer a helping hand to others that fight a similar struggle.
IMPORTANT: Many program participants receiving the implant may feel that they are "cured" in a couple of months due to the effectiveness of the implant and therefore, do not remain as dedicated to their counseling sessions. This is strongly discouraged. There is no known cure for addiction. The implant is a very effective tool to relieve the burden of hyper-focused cravings but the psycho-social and behavioral component of the disease must be modified or relapse is almost certain. Clinics using the program have reported a very high success rate with those who completed the entire counseling portion of the program and much lower success rates with those who DO NOT complete the program. The Counseling is critical to success.
Do we support AA and NA?
Absolutely! We have no association or affiliation with AA or other similar support groups, but our ultimate goal is simply to help as many individuals as possible become sober and maintain sobriety. We want program participants to be emancipated from the misery of their addiction and be able to realize and fully manifest their potential. We want to assist in giving them back their life. AA is a firmly established and successful organization that we support. It teaches a manner of living that can benefit anybody and establishes a mechanism that the alcoholic can support and help others with a similar struggle. It serves as a safe place to be constantly reminded of the risk of relapse, and provides additional tools and support to maintain long term sobriety. The benefit of fellowship and camaraderie of a group support in recovery cannot be overstated. We do not consider our program in conflict with AA. In fact, we believe that our program will assist AA, or any support group or recovery program in achieving lasting success with a higher percentage of their participants. We recognize that many people in the throes of addiction are incapable of concentrating and absorbing the teaching of counselors, therapists, and group meetings. And no matter how hard they try, some individuals are unsuccessful in the "white knuckle" approach. In addition, every person and every recovery journey is different and many individuals simply don't thrive in the group setting. By eliminating the intrusive and overwhelming craving to drink, we find that program participants are better able to ingest, digest, and apply the teachings from their counselors, therapists, AA, alternative 12-step program, SMART recovery, or wherever they feel most comfortable so as to maintain long term sobriety.

Trulia is an all-in-one real estate website that offers you the native scoop about homes on the market, flats for hire, neighborhood insights , and actual estate markets and tendencies to help you determine precisely what, where, and when to purchase, sell or lease. Danielle Carr-Gomm from Lewes was found lifeless in mattress hours after the workshop at a country hotel in Wiltshire where individuals had been slapped until they have been black and blue. Homes usually include appliances but even here, appliances have a tendency to interrupt down and want repair or wear out and want alternative. Historically, diyas are brown-coloured clay lamps that use cotton wicks and ghee or oil to light up homes in Diwali. Homeowners of those trailers and higher finish tenting homes can get out that much earlier in lovely spring climate. I have never had all of the ailments that I included home 'cures' for…so lots of the material on this lens, is the product of hours and hours after which a couple of more hours of analysis. As an alternative of using wood for development, earth-sheltered homes generally rely on concrete.
Because homes tend to understand with inflation homeowners can be in a greater place to purchase a home throughout a period of inflation as a result of the value of their fairness will are inclined to rise with inflation thereby offering them with a down cost on a brand new home from the proceeds of the sale of their existing home while renters who've been putting money right into a savings account towards the acquisition of a home will see it decrease in purchasing energy regardless of their common additions to it.
Significantly the more expensive tenting homes right here are often available for hire and thus could also be tried out before making a big expenditure for one thing like a motorhome or camp trailer. Self-reporting owners will be assessed a one per cent tax on homes that aren't principal residences or aren't rented out for at the very least six months of the 12 months. You possibly can contract with Foster Homes and Grownup Family Homes and do the searching for them. Others uncover that it solely covers rent or that roommates usher in questionable company or substances. Underground homes (also called earth sheltered homes) may be built into a hillside, or constructed near a hill after which coated with earth on the perimeters and over the top. It took us about 10 hours of work to get all the pieces done – or two very late weekend nights. Purple towels and a black vintage purse add a pop of colour and a touch of caprice.
I've realized that with both Grownup Family Homes in addition to with Foster Homes, that the care supplier's are required to have a liscenced particular person stay with purchasers in the occasion that the care provider needs to depart the home…Obviously, a hidden value.
Despite the fact that the rent individuals pay to lease homes or residences, is about high sufficient to cover their unit's portion of the owner's mortgage interest and taxes on the construction it's the landlord and never the renter who gets the tax break.

"Try walking the hallway," the nurse told me, her only suggestion for speeding my slow labor.
Then she disappeared down some distant stretch of the corridor, and I walked alone, slowly up and down the hospital hallway. At midnight, the other maternity patients slumbered behind their closed doors. My daughter's dad snored in the vinyl recliner after his long shift at the grocery store. The floor felt hard and cold through my foam rubber slippers. After a few faltering trips down the hallway, I retreated to my bed where I remained throughout the rest of my 38-hour labor.
I didn't go to the hospital expecting the busy nurses to hold my hand throughout my entire labor. I didn't know I had alternatives to the traditional maternity ward experience, and I didn't know I could have had someone else there to walk the hall with me.
A doula is a professional labor assistant, serving a woman in labor by providing emotional support and coaching throughout the childbirth process. A doula holds a laboring mom's hand, walks the halls with her at midnight, and generally supports a woman to deliver her baby in a safe and welcoming environment.
"It's my job to give a mother information," says Mandee, a doula who has assisted with over 100 births. "When you know the pros, cons, risks and benefits; you can decide what works for you." With the right information, a new mom is able to make decisions for her birth and baby and feel in control of her childbirth experience.
Mandee's connection with a client begins well before meeting in the delivery room. Mandee meets with moms early in their pregnancies to establish and build a trusting relationship. She gives her clients information resources about prenatal nutrition, supplements, exercise and medications; but she asks clients to do their own research and ask questions of their doctors. Mandee is available for moms to call, text or email throughout their pregnancies when they have questions or concerns.
A doula helps clients write a personal birthing plan to detail a mom's expectations and preferences. She works to support and encourage a dad's or partner's role in the delivery room. She provides a listening ear for moms to calm their nerves and help them feel prepared for the often unpredictable process of delivery.
Mandee asks that her clients call as early as possible when they go into labor. She and the mom discuss when it's time to meet at the hospital or other birthing environment. She will assist at any birth where a medical professional delivers the baby: in hospitals, home births, and birthing centers, but Mandee points out that a doula is not a midwife. A doula doesn't perform medical procedures like medication administration or cervical checks.
Instead, Mandee focuses on helping the client mom feel more comfortable and relaxed during labor. She advises Mom about her medication options, food and drink possibilities, and positions to make labor easier. She gives massage and provides aromatherapy, flickering candlelight, music and essential oils to relax the atmosphere. She walks the halls with her client mom, assists her in squats and other exercises, helps her soak in a warm tub. When Mom feels more relaxed and comfortable, she will generally experience an easier labor and birth.
"The cervix is a muscle," Mandee explains. "When we're afraid or tense, labor will take longer. Women who deliver with doulas generally have labors at least three hours shorter than average."
Once the baby is born, Mandee stays with her client for several hours. She will help Mom understand any repair procedures, coach Mom through holding the baby skin-on-skin, or help get breastfeeding started. Mandee assists moms with bathroom trips, showering, and getting comfortable to rest after delivery.
And Mandee's connection with her client continues for up to two weeks after delivery. She is available to answer Mom's questions and recommend resources to help with breastfeeding and settling into new family routines. Mandee's support and encouragement help moms recover emotionally and physically, especially when Mom has experienced crises or complications during pregnancy and delivery.
"I am the mom's support system," Mandee explains. "It helps to have someone available that they feel comfortable with. I help her feel confident to make her own decisions, to choose her own steps or her own timing."
Looking back, I know I would have appreciated having a support system to help me through those 38 hours and the weeks of adjustment later. If I'd had someone else to walk those hallways with me, my journey might not have seemed so long.
For more information on hiring a doula, check out American Pregnancy and Dona.org. And watch this site next week when Mandee explains how to choose the right doula to assist your labor and delivery.
How would a doula help with your pregnancy and delivery? What questions would you ask when connecting with a doula?

|Banksy delivers an inspired art project to Occupy London-- see tweet below.
Just returned from D.C. and sorting through the Monday morning avalanche of email. The trip was fantastic and well worth the ridiculous flight schedule I was assigned (two transfers both ways, one of which was delayed and landed me in Phoenix Arizona of all places for an extra night!). While I catch up, I wanted to pass along some of my favourite tweets of the week. I also wanted to wish a Happy American Thanksgiving to my friends south of the border—I am indeed jealous for the extra days off this late in the semester!
