Pakistan 'Lesbian' Couple Remanded in Custody
Facing an almost certain separation and a possible prison term, Pakistan's first known lesbian couple has threatened to commit suicide and appealed to President Pervez Musharraf as well as the international community for help. Shumail Raj (31), who underwent a sex change operation 16 years ago, and 26-year-old Shahzina Tariq, were sent to separate jails on Tuesday by the Lahore High Court which termed their marriage an "unnatural act" not allowed by Islam or Pakistani law after a medical examination showed that Shumail was a woman. A Pakistani court has remanded the couple in custody after ruling that the husband was actually a woman and their same-sex marriage was against Islam. For more information on this topic, read on…

Report on Child Sexual Abuse Reveals Shocking Results
A 'Study on Child Abuse: India 2007' was conducted recently by the Ministry of Women and Child Development in association with UNICEF, Save the Children and Prayas. Minister of State for Women and Child Development Renuka Chowdhury said it was a 'landmark study', being the largest sample survey covering over 12,447 children from 13 states, the findings of which would help the government in policy formulation and legislations to protect children and promote their rights through specific programmes. The overall objective of the study was to develop comprehensive information of child abuse in India. The other objective was to study the profile of the abused children and the social and economic circumstances leading to their abuse. The study was concentrated in India and a multi stage sampling design was used to conduct the study. The four stages of sampling constituted state, district, block and respondents. The findings reveal that younger children in the age group of 5 to 15 years reported higher levels of abuse and boys were equally at risk of abuse as girls.

Nepal Issues First Citizenship Certificate for Transgendered Person
In a country such as Nepal, which has come under increasing international condemnation for its treatment of sexual minorities, the authorities have granted a man who dresses and behaves as a woman both male and female citizenship. With Nepal's new democratic government having begun a drive to give citizenship to thousands of people who had been excluded from voting rights and other opportunities, Chanda became the first recognised transgender citizen from authorities in the southwestern district of Banke. A Nepali man who wears women's clothes and behaves as a female became the first citizen of the conservative Himalayan nation to be recognised as transgender in a move hailed as 'significant' by gay rights activists. Mausalman, who prefers to be referred to as 'she', has had no sex change surgery or treatment. For more information on this topic, read on…

India: Noida Serial Killings
Since December 29, the Noida police have uncovered skeletal remains of at least 20 children, most of them minor girls, from a drain behind the bungalow of businessman Moninder Singh Pandher. Over the last two years, 38 children have been missing from Nithari village which is just 100 metres away from the house. Police have arrested Moninder Singh and his domestic help Surendra on charges of killing the kids after sexually assaulting them. Despite overwhelming evidence pointing to sex as the motive, officials and medical professionals have stated that it was too early to rule out organ trade. The Indian government has formed a high-level committee to probe into the matter. The four-member committee comes a day after the National Human Rights Commission sent the government a notice and has demanded a factual report within two weeks in the case. The NHRC has also said that officials of the state administration found responsible for prolonged negligence of routine investigations and civil functions should be sacked forthwith.

India: Indian Athlete Being Stripped Off her Medal After She Failed the 'Gender Test'
According to various news reports, an Indian runner who won a silver medal in the women's 800-meter run at the Asian Games earlier this month has failed a gender test and is likely to be stripped off her medal. The test reports sent to the Indian Olympic Association on Sunday said Santhi Soundarajan 'does not possess the sexual characteristics of a woman'. The test was administered by a medical commission set up by the games' organizers. She had however passed a gender verification test at the Asian track and field championship in South Korea last year, where she also won the silver medal in the 800m. The matter now rests with the Asian Games jury. However, this case has brought to the fore, social attitudes towards those of ambivalent gender and raises questions such as what exactly a 'gender test' means. Sexual minorities have come out in huge numbers in Chennai in support of Santhi.

Hong Kong: Government Lowers Age of Consent for Same-Sex Desiring People
Hong Kong's government on October 16, 2006 gave in to a challenge against its age of consent laws for gays, effectively lowering the age of consent for homosexuals from 21 to 16 years to match laws regarding heterosexuals. Under the former legislation, gay men under 21 were subject to life imprisonment for having sex whereas heterosexuals could start having sex five years earlier. Hong Kong had decriminalized homosexuality since 1991, but gay and lesbian youth had faced life imprisonment if they were caught having sex before the age of 21 years. The case was originally brought to the courts by William Leung, a 21-year-old gay man. For more information on this topic, read on…

India: New Law on Domestic Violence
A new law on Domestic Violence came into force in India which aims at curbing domestic violence where men, who beat, threaten or yell at their wives or partners could be jailed or fined. Apart from violence, the act recognizes actual abuse or the threat of abuse of a physical, sexual, verbal, emotional or economical nature. It also identifies harassment to a woman or her family members by way of demands for dowry. Sisters, widows, mothers, single women or women in live-in relationships are now entitled to get legal protection. Feminist activists in India have welcomed the move but have stressed the need for its effective implementation so that more women could benefit from it. For more information on this topic, read on…

The Philippines: The Anti-Discrimination Bill
Many groups and social activists are pushing for the enactment of the Anti-Discrimination Law in the Philippines which would criminalize any action / behaviour aimed at discriminating against individuals or groups because of their sexual orientation, identity or behaviour. For years, there have been an increasing number of incidents reporting abusive and violent behaviour towards people who do not conform to the existing norms of gender and sexuality in the society and therefore activists throughout the country are pressing for the passing of the law. However, as of now the Bill has been blocked by the Philippines Human Rights Committee. For more information on this topic, read on…

India : Prominent Indians Protest Section 377
There has been an on-going campaign in India to induce the government to decriminalize homosexuality and it is rapidly gaining momentum. In September, 2006, about 150 of India's most influential figures – from the novelist Vikram Seth to the Nobel Prize-winning economist Amartya Sen – have joined their voices in a protest letter demanding the repeal of Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code which was introduced in the colonial era and makes homosexuality a punishable act. The signatories have called for the law to be overturned immediately. According to the letter the law has been used to 'systematically persecute, blackmail, arrest and terrorize sexual minorities'.

Vietnam: Urgent Need for Sex Education
A recent study conducted on young people between the ages of 10-24 years on their understanding of reproductive health and sexuality has revealed that they had had almost no formal sexuality education in school. The lack of correct and accurate information puts them at the risk of unwanted pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections and HIV. The Ministry of Education and Training (MoET) has recently announced that it will introduce its 'population and reproductive health education program' to students' grade 1-12 at the beginning of the 2006-2007 school year.

The Philippines: Sexuality Education to be Introduced in Schools
In June 2006, the Philippines Government had to abandon its sexuality education program in schools due to huge protests from the Roman Catholic Church which believes that sexuality education must be imparted only in the context of marriage and must be imparted with the right environment of values and ethics. Otherwise, this could lead to 'promiscuous' behaviour among young people. According to the officials of the Department of Education, the goal of the program is however, to discourage, rather than encourage, sexual relationships among unmarried young people and decreasing the number of teenage pregnancies and the maternal mortality rate among young girls.

Indonesia: Anti-Pornography Bill Meets with Severe Protests
In April, 2006 more than 6,000 people took part in a cultural carnival in Jakarta to protest the Anti-Pornography Bill that they say will make Indonesia's diverse cultures and traditions disappear. In a bid to control pornography, the Bill bans all sensual displays of the body, including the traditional attire of people of many cultures in the archipelago. The Bill was initially drafted in 1999 but reintroduced in Parliament in February 2006. This has met with severe protests from across the country. For more information on this, read on..

India: Mandatory Testing of HIV for Couples
On March 17, 2006, the Goa State Government decided to amend the Goa Public Health Act to make HIV testing compulsory for couples who want to register marriage. The debate around the amendment is now open for public debate before the assembly during the coming session in July. If the amendment is kept, Goa will be the first state in India to make HIV test mandatory for registration of marriage. In 2002, also Goa was seriously considering making HIV testing mandatory for couples intending to get married with strong endorsement from the citizens although not well supported by the Ministry of Health which felt any kind of force will only draw further resistance and carry forth a number of assumptions regarding one's sexuality and marriage.

India: The High Court Urged by the Supreme Court to Examine the Constitutional Validity of Section 377
Homosexuality in India remains criminalized under Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code which was enacted under the British Government in the colonial era.

Nepal: Police on 'Sexual Cleansing' Drive The transgender community in Nepal, better known by the name of 'metis', has been repeatedly subjected to physical and sexual abuse, particularly by the police authorities over the years. In one of the recent incidents, three metis were arrested, and physically and verbally abused by the police in an attempt to 'cleanse' society of those who are said to be 'polluting' it. In another incident, a meti was forced to strip, while the police checked her genitals and mocked her. There have protests by various Human Rights organizations to put an end to such violence on the transgender community throughout 2005 and in January 2006.

India: Installation of Condom Vending Machines in Cities and Colleges During December 2005, India's National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO) has installed condom-vending machines in public places, along with the Delhi State AIDS Control Society (DSACS), the Kerala Government and the Chennai Corporation AIDS Prevention and Control Society (CAPACS). In Delhi, condom vending machines and prevention information has also been placed at Jawaharlal Nehru University and Delhi University. Although this move has largely been viewed as a positive step in providing increased access to safer sex options by students, several political and minority groups fear that the availability of condoms would increase the likelihood of young people having sex.

India: Protests by Commercial Sex Workers Against Restore International In October 2005, hundreds of commercial sex workers staged a protest against the actions of a faith-based organization, Restore International, that initiated raids on women in the community along with the local police in Sangli, Maharashtra. In response to the allegations initiated by Restore International, Sampada Grameen Mahila Sanstha (Sangram), an NGO based in Sangli, which works on issues of sex work, has asserted that most of the women arrested during the raids were adults and not minors. This incident has highlighted issues related to the United States' President's Emergency Fund for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) policy and the kind of implications it has for countries using U.S. funds.

The government's position is that closing the dance bars prevents exploitation of women, and reduces the number of men who indulge in acts of 'depravity'. Activists are split; some say that this is a positive step taken by the State that will help prevent women from being 'degraded'; others say that closing bars without the creation of economic opportunities for those affected, simply reflects the government's moral notions of those who work in the dance bar industry.

Victor Rud; ISSUES, ILLUSIONS AND MEASURES IN AMERICAN RELATIONS WITH RUSSIA AND UKRAINE
"It would be hypocrisy to deny that an independent Ukraine is as essential to this country as to the tranquility of the world. Very few attempts have been made to give justice to the Ukrainians and the continued neglect . . .may ultimately involve all Europe." Lancelot Lawton, House of Commons, London, 1935.
"Whether Russian led integration on the territory of the former USSR will pose a serious, long-term military challenge to the West, depends in large part on the role that Ukraine plays or is compelled to play. . . . Ukraine will do much to determine whether Europe and the world in the twenty-first century will be as bloody as they were in the twentieth." Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, 1997.

If you're looking to develop your prayer life, here are some tips. They worked for me and I hope they work for you too.
First off, you need to stop thinking of prayer as a straight-laced, military-regimented kind of exercise. Open your mind to God, see it instead as a conversation with your Maker, the One who owns the Universe, talk to God as you would a close friend and then, just flow. Tell him anything and everything.
Second, I believe it essential for you to know yourself and know your limit. A friend once told me of how she wanted to get serious with her prayer life and decided to go an hour a day. It didn't work out eventually. You should know your limit, if you're not a person who is used to prayer. Start small, maybe 15 minutes a day, then gradually increase your prayer time as you get better. I started with an hour a week, gradually I increased to 30 minutes a day, then 45 minutes a day and on and on. Prayer is a gradual process. Do not neglect the process.
Fellowship with the Holy Spirit is also key to enjoying prayer time. When the Spirit communes with you often (and this can take on several forms) you'll find yourself looking forward to prayer time just to enjoy those blessed moments with Him.
Finally, I'll suggest that you get a prayer partner. Someone who you're comfortable with who can pray for you and you can also pray for, or you could even join a prayer group.
Try these tips and if you notice an improvement in your prayer life don't hesitate to share your testimony with me.
Feel free to comment other healthy tips to growing your prayer life, I'd love to hear from you.
Don't hesitate to shar if this post has blessed you, you never know who could be in need of it.

For example, in a discussion I started on #222138, mails reached b.d.o in a non-causal order, making the bug report difficult to follow on the web page. Conversely, reading it downloading the mbox folder and using, for example, mutt sorting the thread by date or thread is nice and easy to follow. I'm thus wondering: is it possible to sort the various "posts" to email@example.com as seen on the web by date (or thread, or whatever) as many MUA do? All the needed information seem to be already there.

It is situated on the western coast, close to the mouth of the small river Artro. The parish, which is hilly, includes the township of Harlech. The soil generally is barren and wild. The living is a rectory in the diocese of Bangor, value with the curacy of Llanbedr, £194, in the patronage of the bishop.

I frequently and fervently extoll the virtues of loyalty programs, both as a consumer and from the point of view of businesses whose profits are likely to come from frequent repeat customer and for whom product differentiation is otherwise difficult. (See for instance here.)
At the same time, loyalty programs can be poorly designed, and improperly conceived rules can become very costly for a company.
And I do my best to point out those poorly conceived rules! I make the most of many of them, and I'm comfortable doing so. Pushing the envelope on promotions and loopholes serve a very real economic purpose: by exploiting and exposing loopholes, companies are forced to get better. They're forced to think through promotions. They're forced to improve their computer programming. These things make commerce stronger.
That doesn't say anything about whether an individual action is justified in any given circumstance. That broad claim about the world likely says little about individual ethics. But I sleep well at night.
Companies worry about the high costs that loyalty programs can create, and rightly so. I think a bit of hyperbole too often generates myopia and losses, but in fairness I thought it useful to pass along one such articulation of the excesses of loyalty programs.
- IN RECENT years, many companies have rushed into designing loyalty programmes, but how many of these programmes destroy more value than they create?
David Phillips, the inspiration for the protagonist in the film Punch Drunk Love, emptied 10 US grocery stores of 12150 tubs of pudding to follow up on a promotion offering 1000 frequent flyer points for each pudding code submitted.
His return on investment of $3140 in pudding was 1215000 frequent flyer points at a cost to Healthy Choice Pudding of $25000 (they had to pay the airline two cents a mile).
Granted, this is an extreme (quickly discontinued) example, but there are still examples of poorly conceived loyalty programmes. Loyalty programmes' logic is simple share value with customers who create value, so as to keep them coming back as long as possible.
Existing customers are more profitable than new customers, and it can be seven times more costly to attract a new customer than to keep an existing one.
For a modest implementation fee, new technologies can enable companies to identify those valuable customers, model the behaviours that make them valuable and track their explicit preferences in terms of product selection and sales and service channel use.
Sound too good to be true? It is. Anyone who has implemented a customer relationship management "solution" knows that the fee for the technology alone can be quite horrific.
Add to that the other change components (including revamping the sales force, retraining support staff and rewiring contact channels) and we are probably looking at a significant payback period. This, of course, excludes the cost of creating and administering a suitable loyalty scheme.
It prompts the question; while clients are fanatically banking cash-backs, beans, bucks, miles and points in return for their loyal patronage, what happens to the shareholder?
My own suggestion is that companies do best by returning real value to consumers, especially those consumers representing corporate dollars, and keeping tight control over costs in areas outside of customer value-creation, such as expensive technology and personnel. But that's an ongoing debate. For now, it's enough to recognize that there are two sides to the story.

This book is the second in a four-volume work entitled The Moral Limits of Criminal Law, which examines the acts that the state may make criminal. It focuses on the issue of offense, presenting a detailed analysis of offensive behavior and how it is more a nuisance than a menace. It identifies the different kinds of offenses and the standards for evaluating their seriousness. The issue of obscenity is analyzed within the context of pornography and the Constitution. Obscene words, their functions, and social and legal implications are also discussed.

Recently I have found a nice new box to explore! This box comes full of artisanal items. The website of Chatsworthgoods is full of great hard-to-find mixes and snacks. I am always in search of great products to try, and this was no exception – I have never seen any of the products that Chatsworthgoods offers in stores, so I was extremely excited to try these out!
The website of Chatsworthgoods offers a great selection of cocktail mixes, small batch products like syrups, artisanal waters, mixers, drinking vinegars, even Peach Bellini mixers. I am not much of a cocktail maker, so I need all the help I can get to fix a drink, preferably mixing some parts mixer, some parts alcohol and be done with it. I would love to be able to make cocktails from scratch, but this is just not something I know how to do yet, so these mixers are perfect for a new cocktail makers like myself.
I got to try their box set of Simply Crafty Cocktail Mixers, which is awesome, by the way. This particular set is on sale right now for $39.95 online on their website.
Here is what this set includes –
1 x Owl's Brew – White and Vine (32 fl oz)
1 x Pok Pok Som Drinking Vinegar – Pomegranate (16 fl oz)
1 x American Juice Company – Ginger Gershwin (16 fl oz)
We made Moscow Mule cocktail version out of Ginger Gerschwin mix and vodka.
Then we made a pomegranate drink with the drinking vinegar mix and sparkling soda using the recipe that was on the package. The only thing my husband changed was adding 4 parts drinking vinegar instead of 3, and not using any ice cubes. This drink didn't turn out that well, we are also not great fans of acidic drinks anyways, so this didn't go as planned.
The third drink we made was with the Owl's Brew mix, and that was delicious.
This set is a great value. If I were to make these mixes myself, I would have to pay a lot more. Moscow mules, for example, we generally make with ginger beer, and this beer can cost as must as this whole set of mixes just to make a few drinks.
We also got to try Smoked Nib Brittle. It was very delicious chocolate. This brittle is part of their Crafty Crackly Candy box that is available for subscription. If you are into candy like me, this box is perfect to subscribe for!
The website itself, aside from subscription boxes, has a lot of very hard to find products. Most of these I have never seen in regular stores, yet they will make your dining table much better, and will let you enjoy your food more, and let you create much more complex flavors. All of these products are very reasonably priced. I will definitely recommend their saffron, truffle oil, cherry bitters, mustard, bourbon vanilla products, and ketchups. There are quite a few options available of all types of products, and I am sure you will not leave empty handed after shopping on Chatsworthgoods website.
They also offer a 20% discount on their products for social sharing. All you have to do is share their website, and you will get 20% off already cheap products that you will not find in your local grocery store – what else to say, this is a good deal!
I have received the product for free for a review to test it out.

We keep having this discussion every time the price of gasoline spikes up: Tap into the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, many folks insist, because we just don't want to see the price of gas go through the roof.
As always, it's pure nonsense.
Amarillo motorists - as of Wednesday - were paying $3.39 per gallon of regular unleaded gas. That's up about 30 cents from when it bottomed out just a few weeks ago.
So, what gives with the price spike? Are we about to have the oil spigots cut off? Is there a threat to national security? No on both counts.
The SPR - which consists of underground oil storage caverns along the Texas and Louisiana coasts - was set up in the 1970s as a hedge against a potential shutdown of international oil production. Its mission is not to serve as a price-control mechanism.
The price of oil and the related price of gasoline are causing tremendous upset among millions of Americans. They are having an impact on the presidential campaign, giving fodder to candidates in both parties; Republicans blame the Democratic president for dampening domestic oil production, who in turn accuses his GOP foes of offering simplistic solutions to complex market-related problems.
Let's have that debate.
These calls to draw down the SPR aren't new. Both Presidents Bush heard it, and did so, as did President Clinton. George W. Bush's action, for instance, was based on the loss of production related to Hurricane Katrina.
Do we need to tap into the nation's petroleum storage bin simply to saturate the market with a supply of oil that will offset a growing demand?
The SPR should be used for compelling national emergencies.
The current spike in gasoline prices, while annoying in the extreme, does not fit the bill.

I just started to play with artrage on an ipad. Since I'm taking oil painting lessons, I decided to use the oil brush to draw a classic sphere.
I only used about 7 grey values to create the initial painting, and then tried to blend the adjacent grays into a smooth gradient.
After playing around with the brush settings, I still couldn't smooth out the gradient so that no contour lines are visible. When painting with real paint, all I have to do is load the brush lightly or none and then paint on the contour line -- kind of like mixing color on canvas instead of on the palette. I tried the same in artrage but it just creates new contour line at the edge of the brush.
I don't have a pressure sensitive stylus; just using finger.
Any suggestions? I don't want to "cheat" and use other drawing tools; just the oil brush. Is it possible?

Is depression a feeling like being sad….one may wonder. While we all feel sad, moody or low from time to time, some people experience these feelings intensely, for long periods of time (weeks, months or even years) and sometimes without any apparent reason. Depression is more than just a low mood – it's a serious condition that affects your physical and mental health.
Depression interferes with daily life and normal functioning. It can cause pain for both the person with depression and those who care about him or her. It is not a sign of a person's weakness but a sign of an illness. Most people who experience depression need treatment to get better. It is time we take depression seriously and seek treatment instead of ignoring it.
Sadness is just one small part of depression. Some people with depression may not feel sadness at all. Depression has many other symptoms, including physical ones. If you experience any of the below signs and symptoms for at least 2 weeks, its time to see a doctor.
Many factors may play a role in depression, including genetics, brain biology and chemistry, and life events such as trauma, loss of a loved one, a difficult relationship, an early childhood experience, or any stressful situation.
Depression can happen at any age, but often begins in the teens or early 20s or 30s. Most chronic mood and anxiety disorders in adults begin as high levels of anxiety in children. In fact, high levels of anxiety as a child could mean a higher risk of depression as an adult. Sometimes medications taken for these illnesses may cause side effects that contribute to depression.
1. Major depression: Severe symptoms that interfere with the ability to work, sleep, study, eat, and enjoy life. An episode can occur only once in a person's lifetime, but more often, a person has several episodes.
2. Persistent depressive disorder: A depressed mood that lasts for at least 2 years. A person diagnosed with persistent depressive disorder may have episodes of major depression along with periods of less severe symptoms, but symptoms must last for 2 years.
3. Psychotic depression, which occurs when a person has severe depression plus some form of psychosis, such as having disturbing false beliefs or a break with reality (delusions), or hearing or seeing upsetting things that others cannot hear or see (hallucinations).
4. Postpartum depression, which is much more serious than the "baby blues" that many women experience after giving birth, when hormonal and physical changes and the new responsibility of caring for a newborn can be overwhelming. It is estimated that 10 to 15 percent of women experience postpartum depression after giving birth.
5. Seasonal affective disorder (SAD), which is characterized by the onset of depression during the winter months, when there is less natural sunlight. The depression generally lifts during spring and summer.
6. Depression is treatable. Depression, even the most severe cases, can be treated. The earlier the treatment begins, the more effective it is. Most adults see an improvement in their symptoms when treated with antidepressant drugs, talk therapy (psychotherapy), or a combination of both.
There's no one proven way that people recover from depression, and it's different for everyone. However, there are a range of effective treatments and health professionals who can help you on the road to recovery.
Psychological treatments also known as talking therapies can help you change your thinking patterns and improve your coping skills so you're better equipped to deal with life's stresses and conflicts. There are several types of effective psychological treatments for depression like cognitive behaviour therapy, interpersonal therapy, behaviour therapy.
The main medical treatment for depression is antidepressant medication. There's a lot of misinformation about antidepressant medication and while there is no simple explanation as to how it works, it can be very useful in the treatment of moderate to severe depression and some anxiety disorders.
Do not suffer in silence. If you or a loved one is suffering from depression, seek medical help. The Department of Psychiatry at Kokilaben Dhurubhai Ambani Hospital provide offer individualised treatment plans that ensure consistent patient care. Please refer below link for more details:

Induce behavioural change to stop people from defecating in public places.
Many countries in the world lack an efficient and safe management of septage from septic tanks. The de-sludging of septic tanks usually is unregulated and mostly carried out by the private operators. The disposal of untreated septage in landfills or directly into the sea constitutes a serious health hazard to people.
Some ways your app could help:
- improve the process from septage monitoring to safe and environmentally friendly disposal
- help mapping the lack of fresh water
- track and monitor the disposal of septage and effluent discharges

Effects of Scarring on the Kidneys
Scarring of the kidneys, or glomerulosclerosis, has many causes, including diabetes -- the most common cause in the United States -- high blood pressure, drugs, infection and autoimmune processes such as lupus. Kidney scarring can lead to multiple long-term effects, some of which -- such as protein and blood in the urine or high blood pressure -- have no symptoms, while others can result in noticeable symptoms like swelling of distant parts of the body or heart disease. Scarring is irreversible, but further damage can often be prevented or slowed with treatment.
Protein in the Urine
Proteins, the building blocks of the body, circulate in the blood. A major role of the kidneys is to clean the blood by filtering out wastes that the body produces and excreting them in the form of urine. Most proteins are too big to pass through the normal filtration system of the kidney during this process and remain in the bloodstream. With glomerulosclerosis, however, the filter -- the glomerulus-- is damaged, allowing proteins to leak into the urine. This excess protein in the urine is called proteinuria. Proteinuria itself causes no symptoms and can only be detected by testing the urine. But with significant proteinuria, swelling of the hands or feet may develop.
Blood in the Urine
Blood in the urine -- hematuria -- is another sign of kidney damage. With glomerulosclerosis, not only are proteins able to pass through the kidney's damaged filter and be excreted into the urine, but red blood cells are as well. According to the January 2012 issue of "Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation," experimental studies have shown that when blood leaks through the glomeruli, it can cause inflammation of the tubules, the next segment of the filtration system, leading to additional damage. In glomerulosclerosis, blood in the urine is not detectable by simply looking at the urine since it is only present in microscopic quantities. Identification requires laboratory testing.
High Blood Pressure
Increased blood pressure can be both a cause and a complication of glomerulosclerosis. The kidneys play an important role in maintaining normal blood pressure by releasing a hormone called renin into the blood. With glomerulosclerosis, scarring of the kidneys can adversely affect their ability to form this hormone and regulate blood pressure. High blood pressure may in turn contribute to worsening kidney function by damaging the small blood vessels of the kidney, leading to glomerulosclerosis. Elevated blood pressure can also cause other complications such as heart disease, stroke and problems with circulation to the limbs. Control of blood pressure using medications both helps prevent worsening kidney function and additional complications.
Other Effects
Because an important job of the kidneys is to control fluid balance, progressive glomerulosclerosis eventually can lead to excessive body fluid and swelling. The kidneys also control the quantities of electrolytes in the body, including calcium and potassium. Maintaining the relative ratio of electrolytes and other hormonal substances is important for a normal heartbeat to prevent arrhythmias; the production of red blood cells to prevent anemia and clotting cells to prevent abnormal bleeding; and normal bone health to prevent osteoporosis, fractures and muscle weakness. Imbalances in these substances occurring in the end stages of kidney disease may lead to a vast array of complications affecting many different organ systems.

Huish Park is a football stadium located in Yeovil, Somerset, England. The stadium has been home to Yeovil Town F.C. since its completion in 1990, following their relocation from Huish. Huish Park has a capacity of 9,565 (of which two stands are all-seated, totalling 5,212 seats) with terraces behind each of the goals.[1]
In January 1985, Yeovil started negotiations to sell the Huish Athletic Ground and move to a new stadium in the Houndstone area of Yeovil on the site of an old army camp. Negotiations commenced between the club and Bartlett Construction regarding moving from Huish to a new site at Houndstone Camp, with the first meeting taking place on 12 November 1985 when an offer of £1.3m was made for the Huish site. Following further meetings and more detailed plans being studied the offer was raised to over £2m early in 1986, when the directors agreed in principle for the move to go ahead. A company, Collier & Madge, who specialised in buying and selling supermarket sites was engaged to advise the club and to ensure the best possible price was obtained.
On 15 December 1986, the club was informed by its advisors, Collier and Madge, that the offer of £2.4m now on the table was about as much as they could hope to receive. It was revealed that the new proposed site for the club was 20.75 acres of freehold land at Houndstone Camp with a further 4.2 acres being made available on a 999-year lease. The directors agreed in principle to the deal and Tesco were insisting that contracts should be exchanged by the end of March 1987 with the building contractors having vacant possession by July 1988. Further discussions took place with South Somerset District Council regarding developing the new site for recreational use, and they set aside money to purchase the land.
At an extraordinary general meeting held on 25 August 1987, shareholders gave the go-ahead to "conclude negotiations with F. R. Bartlett Limited for the sale of Huish and to negotiate the development of the Houndstone site"; the voting was 14,431 for and 1,356 against, giving a majority of 13,075, representing 91% in favour. On 15 September 1987, the Public Inquiry began which was to delay the proposed move for a long time; two days later the final agreement was signed.
On 21 March 1989, and after a wait of just over 20 months, the result of the Public Inquiry was made known; the Department of the Environment granted planning permission to develop Huish. The first work at the new ground got underway in May 1989 when boreholes were drilled. A month later it was revealed that the cost of the new development had risen to £3.5m and that Bartletts had come forward with a further £400,000, bringing the total for the sale of Huish to £2.8m. On Sunday 1 April 1990, over 500 supporters viewed the new stadium at Houndstone, and it was announced the new stadium would be called Huish Park.
The new Huish Park Stadium was opened with a friendly against Newcastle United on 4 August 1990, ending in a 2–1 defeat in front of a crowd of 5,093; the first competitive match followed on 18 August 1990 with a Football Conference match against Colchester United, the 2–0 win for Yeovil resulted in Mickey Spencer scoring Yeovil's first competitive goal at the new ground. The first season at the new ground resulted in an average attendance of 2,639, an increase of 17.6%,[2] and the season finished with an U18 international match between England and Wales attracting a bumper 6,153 crowd.
The 1999–2000 season saw a proposal for the erection of a roof over the home terrace; the work eventually took place in early 2001, with the roof being completed for the match against Rushden & Diamonds, which drew a then-record crowd of 8,868.[3]
Following Yeovil's promotion to the Football League, crowds increased by 30% to an average of 6,197 in the 2003–04 season,[2] and on 25 April 2008, Yeovil's match against Leeds United saw the record attendance at the ground of 9,527.[4]
The ground is made up of four stands:
- Tamburino Stand (Main Stand), is a cantilevered covered single tiered stand that is all-seated. The stand has executive boxes running across its back and bar areas, the dug outs and players' tunnel, a small simple electric scoreboard, and it houses the ticket office and club shop.
- Screwfix Community Stand (East Stand), similar to the Main Stand in style with a Press Box beneath its roof.
- Thatchers Gold Stand (Home Terrace), similar style covered cantilevered terrace for home fans.
- Radio Cabs Stand (Away Terrace), smaller uncovered terrace with a large electric scoreboard behind.

Future development[edit]
In March 2011, Yeovil Town announced plans for a 3,500 seat stand to replace the current Away Terrace,[6] in conjunction with the training pitches being redeveloped into retail land creating over 300 jobs in partnership with Chris Dawson, owner of the Range Home and Leisure.[7] Following public consultation in late-November 2011 the plans for a new stand have dropped off the agenda with the retail development continuing as a new food store.[8]

"I got a phone call that nobody wants a few years ago," begins Amy Compton-Phillips, MD, Executive Vice President and Chief Clinical Officer for Providence St. Joseph Health and Theme Leader for NEJM Catalyst. Her cousin's stepson, who was a product of divorce and a former drug user who ultimately got clean, returned home from Afghanistan and shot himself in his parents' bedroom.
"It's not just him — it's 22 veterans a day. It's the second leading cause of death in adolescents. It's 69,000 people last year who died of overdoses. It's not just suicide, it's depression, being the number one cause of morbidity in days lost from work. It's national trauma — we have so much morbidity from mental health and illness, and yet it's the system we've designed. That's the results we're getting," says Compton-Phillips.
"I was trained back in the era when we were going to have science cure everything and a pill for every problem. But the bulk of what influences ultimate health outcomes is really behavioral, social, environmental — which makes complete intuitive sense."
If you grow up in an environment where you have parks and fresh food and opportunities for education, says Compton-Phillips, of course you're going to have higher odds of turning out with a healthy future than if you grow up in violence and chaos. She offers an example: when working in Oakland, California, she'd take BART to the 12th Street station, where the average life expectancy was 73 years. Then she'd get on the train and ride out four stops to Lafayette / Walnut Creek, and the average life expectancy there was 84 years. "There was no difference in people on the train. The difference was in the context of life in people who didn't have access to the things that future a healthy life."
If people live at the federal poverty level or below, their risk of suffering from depression is 4 times as high as people from higher incomes, Compton-Phillips says. And a really frightening fact for the future is that as of last year, 49% of children born in the U.S. had their birth paid for by Medicaid. "That means half of our children are being born into poverty."
Poverty isn't only associated with depression, it's also associated with adverse childhood experience, adds Compton-Phillips. "Children who live in an environment where they're more likely to experience abuse, neglect, or family dysfunction are 10 times more likely to become alcoholic, 20 times more likely to attempt suicide, and 150 times more likely to use IV drugs. As I think back to my cousin's stepson, that was his environment — he wasn't able to create the resilience, grit, and drive to make it past all the hardship in his life, so his solution was like so many that experience adverse childhood experiences," she says.
Compton-Phillips believes we need to — and can — address this. She recalls the example of fluoride in the 1970s. "Rather than focusing on the teeth, we focused on what would prevent bad teeth. Right now we have 90% less diseased, missing, or filled teeth than we had in 1970."
Compton-Phillips says that there are three things that seem to be a theme in terms of what we can change:
- Organizations and systems spend a lot of time focusing on what they're trying to solve. If they spend time asking what the fundamental driver of the problem is, they'll get much further. For example, the Southcentral Foundation Nuka System of Care was developed when the Native Alaskan population in Anchorage decided they wanted to take over their own care from the Indian Health Service. To do it, they went out to their community and found out that what the community wanted from the health system was to address child neglect, child abuse, and alcohol use. The health system then broke itself apart and reconfigured so that it could address these needs. Now, they have one clinician partnered directly with one behavioral health person and a nurse, as a primary care team. When patients come in, they talk about their stress, sleep habits, and relationships, in addition to vitals. They've recently won their second Baldrige Award for quality for outstanding care, despite the fact that their community is very high in depression and morbidity.
- Aligned voices from multidisciplinary groups for designing solutions. Compton-Phillips provides NHS Scotland as an example. When they set a goal to make Scotland the best place to grow up, they had educators, caregivers, parents, and business people come together to figure out how. A fundamental issue, they realized, was that they had parents raising children who didn't know how to be parents, so they focused on breaking that cycle. They developed a system where they gave every young child a bear and a book, and told the children that they needed to read to the bear before bed every night. It significantly increased the number of parents reading to their children before bed, which made a real dent in enhanced relationships between parents and children.
- Making sure we have the wherewithal to connect the dots. In San Antonio, Texas, the instigator was actually the police, because they realized they had more mentally ill people in jail than in treatment. When they looked at the bottom line and saw what the substance abuse system, the prisons, and the health care system were each spending, they said, we need a place to bring them other than an ED and jail. So they built a restoration center that has substance abuse treatment, crisis intervention treatment, and homelessness services. Today, they treat 18,000 people a year, they have capacity in their jails and EDs, and all of the organizations that have invested in this are saving over $10 million a year. "They're getting better outcomes at lower cost, just by getting everyone on the same page with how to execute on the problem," says Compton-Phillips.
"Everybody knows we spend more than any other rich westernized country on health care. But if you add health spend, to health care spend, we're actually fairly on par with other countries, but it's the ratio that's different — they spend a little over 2:1, we spend a little more like 1:1," says Compton-Phillips. Providence St. Joseph, she says, decided to make a $100 million investment to begin hosting the conversation around how we can change this. "I don't want anyone else to get a phone call like we got, to raise children we know are at risk for the future. We owe it to our families, our patients, our communities, and our nation to change the course of the stream and deliver something very different."
