The idea of having sex can be a daunting cause of anxiety for many newly single women. We can tell you that it was definitely a topic that made us nervous. So many un-serving doubts cross our minds…
We know this is easier said than done but, it's time to squash those un-serving, negative self-beliefs and figure out what it is that you really want. Let's tackle these negative thoughts one at a time.
Q: What if I never want to have sex again?
A: It's finally time for you to take the reins and decide what makes you happy. If you don't want to have sex ever again, then don't. No one is keeping track and at the end of the day it's really all about you! You are going through so much emotional baggage after your divorce that you may think you never want to have sex again. Physical intimacy is a basic biological need so once the dust settles, you may change your mind.
Q: What if no one will ever want to have sex with me?
A: Again, there is so much emotional baggage to sort through after your divorce that you may wonder if you are even desirable to anyone. As long as you want physical intimacy and are ready for it, you will always be able to find plenty of interested candidates. Here is an interesting tidbit from Ian Kerner (sex therapist, Ph.D, author of "She Comes First: the Thinking Man's Guide to Pleasuring a Woman),"I meet a lot of guys who really struggled through their divorce. They're finally free and it's almost a return to their college years where there may be over immersion into one night stands, going to bars, and picking up women…" According to Dr. Kerner, this one-night stand behavior newly single men experience usually serves as a short balancing phase. So again, lots of candidates are available for you when you are ready.
Q: I've been out of the dating game for so long I don't even know where to begin when it comes to finding a sexual partner.
A: This is another topic that causes anxiety for many newly single men and women. We recently devoted an entire blog post to this topic. How to Start Dating After Your Divorce
Q: Will anyone ever find me attractive in that way?
A: YES! This one is all about you being happy with you! This is a counterintuitive concept but, trust us when we tell you that people react to you the way you react to yourself. So if you truly believe that you are worthy, beautiful, smart, desirable, etc., that is the kind of attitude you will attract towards you.
We love to hear from you! Leave a comment with any questions you may have on Sex and the Newly Single Girl or any other divorce topic. We would be happy to answer them.

Chennai-based private equity firm TVS Capital Funds Ltd, which manages TVS Shriram Growth Fund-IA, has raised firm commitments of Rs 200 crore and is soon expected to make a first close of its top-up fund. The funds have been primarily raised from ultra high networth individuals (UHNWIs) and family offices, signalling the increased sophistication of investors entering this asset class.
TVS Capital launched TVS Shriram Growth Fund-IB in August 2011, targeting Rs 400 crore with a green shoe option to raise another Rs 100 crore. The PE firm is now close to making its debut exit and exploring new deal structures like mezzanine and private investment in public equity (PIPE).
Around 55 per cent of the current fundraising has come from ultra-HNWIs, who invest over Rs 5 crore, according to TVS Capital chairman & MD Gopal Srinivasan. "It's a validation of the fact that plain vanilla fund is not acceptable except those which have operational capabilities with performance-shaping strategies," he added.
The remaining capital has come primarily from HNWIs, typically investing Rs 1-2 crore. The fund plans to target domestic institutions, such as banks and insurance companies, in the second leg of the fundraising.
TVS Capital also raised the minimum threshold of commitments to Rs 50 lakh from the earlier Rs 25 lakh for this fund. Its maiden fund raised Rs 500 crore in July 2008 (and later added another Rs 100 crore), being one of the first PE funds to be raised completely from domestic investors.
According to Srinivasan, this time, TVS Capital has been specifically targeting ultra-HNWIs who are sophisticated investors with either a family office or an internal team or an advisor. "India needs sensible investors who diligently evaluate their investments. Ultra-HNWIs also bring in advice and their own networks," he said. Srinivasan adds that ultra-HNWIs also do detailed due diligence, evaluating the past portfolio companies.
When TVS Capital was launched, it planned to raise a fund worth Rs 1,000 crore, but the board took a call to raise Rs 500 crore for the first fund and the rest in a follow-on offering. While TVS Shriram Growth Fund-I managed to raise Rs 600 crore, the top-up fund is the continuation of the same strategy. With TVS Shriram Growth Fund-IB, the sponsors – namely, the TVS Group and the Shriram Group – have committed a combined Rs 150 crore to the funds.
According to an earlier interview, TVS Capital would look at the next fund by 2014, which might also tap new sources of capital and include other strategies like controlled transactions.
Investment Strategy
TVS Capital is currently in advanced talks for two deals for the new fund, one of which is in premium consumer services space and the other is in processed food segment. The PE firm also expects to return 5 per cent of the capital of the first fund through one significant dividend payment while another exit is to be announced in the coming weeks.
Besides, it is also exploring PIPEs where it can pick up around 30 per cent stake in a listed firm with other PE players. Mezzanine funding, a hybrid of debt and equity financing, is also an option that TVS Capital is looking at in the current environment as it happens to be very flexible.
"Mezzanine is a big opportunity in the next three years as promoters also like it. There is a lot of incentive for promoters right now to do high-yield debt deals before waiting for markets to improve and then raise equity," said Srinivasan.

Only one pan is required for these irresistible Campfire Nachos and they can be made on the stovetop, grill or even over a campfire!
I've been slacking on recipe posts, but only because I've been over-achieving on travel posts. We are on Day 24 of our big summer adventure and it has certainly been an adventure. We've seen amazingly beautiful places and we have experienced some unexpected pitfalls, as well. Click over to follow our journey!
Making your own nachos in a cast iron skillet or a dutch oven are perfect for outdoor nachos! Layer up the nachos and let the heat rise in your skillet or dutch oven, putting a lid over it will capture the steam and help the cheese to melt quicker and more evenly. Don't have a lid? Aluminum foil will work in that case.
That's the beauty of the layers – stack them up, customize the ingredients, let them heat together and voila! You can feed two or twelve.
I love to eat the nachos hot and right from the campfire. But like cold pizza, there's something about nachos later after they've cooled off and the cheese has hardened a little bit that I still enjoy. You can enjoy leftovers for sure!
We have been making tons of easy recipes on the road and this has been one of our recent favorites. It requires very little chopping and all comes together in a single pan. Dan and I sat down and devoured these delicious Campfire Nachos in a single meal. No judging. Being on the road works up an appetite!
These can be so versatile and can be catered to your liking. Swap out the veggies for different ones or use a flavored variety of potato chip. Use sausage or chicken for the meat instead of ground beef or add avocados and sour cream to the top. Be creative!
Thanks for reading and for bearing with me during this season when my recipes are a bit more spread out. Once our great summer journey is over, we'll be back in business!
One year ago: Peach Frozen Yogurt
Two years ago: Spruced-up Spaghetti
Campfire Nachos
- Skillet
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 jalapeno pepper sliced

- In a cast-iron skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat (using grill, campfire or stovetop) until no longer pink. Create a hole in the center of the meat and add jalapeños and green onions. Cook, stirring frequently for 3-4 minutes. Transfer mixture to a bowl and line the bottom of the hot skillet with chips.
- Pour the ground beef-green onion mixture evenly over the chips. Top with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and salsa/taco sauce. Dig in immediately!

text: This week at the winery our contract team is busy completing our first round of wire lifting! Each year after pruning, our top trellis wires are brought down to the same level as the bottom fruiting wire. Now that the vines have started to grow, the wire is lifted back up to hold up the new shoots. Keeping the new shoots upright allows more sunlight to reach the fruiting zone which helps ripen our grapes to the perfect sugar level. This is the first wire lift of three that will be completed across our vineyard this growing season.

The cost of a new car nowadays equals about what our parents paid for their first home. It's not a purchase to be taken lightly. You want to do everything possible to ensure you get a great deal. Never rush your decision. If you are completely without transportation, rent a vehicle until you find the right car. When you rush a purchase, you usually end up on the losing end of the deal. Thanks to the Internet, you can uncover the typical retail cost of a specific make and model. With a little digging, you can find out the wholesale cost as well. This information makes you a powerful negotiator. You want a win-win situation with the car dealership. They need to make some profit, and you need to feel you paid a fair price. It's fair to negotiate to a price that's $500 above dealer cost or about 20% off the sticker price. So take along your calculator when you shop. If the only cars on the lot have expensive options you don't care for, you might want to order a car to your specifications. You might wait a bit, but will save money on options you don't need. Check with the dealership to see if you can return the car if you don't like it. I did this once. The car I purchased ended up less comfortable than my old car, so the next morning I took it back for my check and my trade-in. Many dealerships now offer this option. You may have heard the advice to shop the last day of the month for better deals. It's true that you might get a better deal from a salesman then. As far as trade-ins go, do your research here, too. Knowing the value of your old car makes it easier to negotiate a better price for it. Try not to talk about a trade-in possibility until you get a purchase price. You may want to advertise your older car and sell it privately. Typically you can get a better price this way, but it may take a little time. A service contract will likely be brought into the negotiation. The consumer information I've read discourages buying an extra contract on a new car, as it's not likely a problem will occur during the first months of use. Whatever you do, always read the fine print of any contract before signing it. Don't be afraid to ask a bazillion questions about what certain phrases mean if you don't understand something. Simply because the car just rolled off the factory line doesn't mean you should buy it without asking questions. Keep on your toes during the negotiation process. There's nothing like the thrill of getting a new car AND creating a win-win situation for you and the dealer.

Rambo – Vet Visit
Rambo went to the vet yesterday. He has been disinterested in food, reported as having a hard time sitting down, and also looked and acted as if he did not feel well. His teeth looked good, other than some plaque. He has mild deterioration in his eyes due to age. His xrays showed that he has spondylosis in his back, some areas moderate, other areas more severe. He also has kidney disease, which may be the culprit for his urinary tract infection. His urine was sent away for additional testing. He was given a long acting antibiotic shot and will be kept in the Cat Hospital for a few days to receive fluids and will go back outside once he is eating better.Spondylosis is a term referring to degenerative osteoarthritis of the joints between the centre of the spinal vertebrae and/or neural foraminae. If this condition occurs in the zygapophysial joints, it can be considered facet syndrome. If severe, it may cause pressure on nerve roots with subsequent sensory and/or motor disturbances, such as pain, paresthesia, or muscle weakness in the limbs.
Chronic Renal Failure, sometimes referred to as kidney disease, is one of the most common conditions affecting older cats. In most cases, chronic renal failure is progressive over time so that there is a gradual advancement and worsening of the disease. The rate of progression of the disease varies considerably between individuals. There is no cure for kidney disease, only management, which would include giving fluids on a daily basis. This sort of management is not possible in these wild cats as it would require netting them and restraining them daily to receive fluids. With most of our cats that are over the age of 15 we have started providing multiple water bowl sites so getting a drink is more convenient for these older cats.

Are male big cats susceptible to the same urethra blockage as our little domestic pals?
Carole Baskin
Yes, but it doesn't seem to be as prevalent.
Cecilia Jones
Would laser therapy help with the arthritis?
Carole Baskin
We haven't tried that, but it seems that it would require sedating the cat, which is very dangerous for them.

Rambo is such a sweet boy, and I am sorry to hear that he's not doing well. We had the privilege of meeting Rambo in Feb., due to his fondness for one of your volunteers….all she had to was call softly, "Rambo, where are you buddy?" and he came trotting out and plopped down on the ground beside the enclosure fence…..hope he's feeling better soon!

Merge character styles / colors
It would be great if it was possible to merge styles or characters. For example if I have a font style in the same weight, but in slightly different colors, it would be great to have the possibility to merge these two into one style, without having to relink the existing text boxes. Same would go for colors.

Melanie commented
Merging character styles / % colors / and as commenter Adam Fox said, the ability to swap themes would be excellent.
Barry Brooks commented
If the document uses colors that are really close to each other in hue, saturation, brightness etc., give the user the ability to select one and convert the others to that hex value. (this was the result of design experimentation with color an forgetting to change all instances in document).
In the attached, I would like to select a final red/orange color and have it change all instances of similar color to it.
Stevo commented
My developer asked me why I have 50 shades of grey in my design, and why I can't just have one grey colour instead?
Or why my character styles look similar in terms of its font size, but the colours are slightly different or have slightly different line spacing.
I'm not able to track all these design elements, especially when I'm making websites, mobile apps, email templates, marketing and etc.
If there was a way for XD to identify which ones are similar and then can help merge the styles together, that would make life so much easier.
Adam Fox commented
This would allow you to replace one existing theme color with another existing theme color, (ex: if you want to use one gray instead of two current shades), delete gray #1 would allow you to assign all assets using it to now use gray #2.
InDesign has a very similar feature that allows you to replace a swatch with another upon deletion.

This is our oldest project, launched back in 2009. It was conceived as a place where aspiring photography enthusiasts could find inexpensive equipment for digital photography and video that would allow them to work like the pros – only without going broke!
The purpose of this project is to offer quality primary and rechargeable batteries, battery chargers and accessories that serve the needs of different private and professional customers, big and small. At presesnt, this is our best-performing property.
This one is very special to us. The Beardsome store caters to the needs of bearded gentlemen who want to take good care of that great patch of hair that comes out from under their noses and chins.
This project is still under tight wraps but we plan to be ready to show it to the world very very soon. As with our other projects, it will serve the (so far, poorly attended) needs of a small but passionate crowd.
Most consultants who are hired by small business to launch an e-commerce website tend to operate on one of the following deeply flawed models:

2011 Ford Mustang GT will receive 5.0 Liter Coyote V8
Even if the American automaker Ford has just launched the 2010 Mustang, the blue oval engineers are already preparing a few new goodies for the 2011 model. The latest spy shots are showing that we might get more than we bargained for.
In a recent trip to Ford's testing facility in Dearborn, our editorial staff not only saw, but heard a pair of Mustangs running up and down the high speed straight away section of their track. The interesting thing, aside from the amber lights and strange looking camouflage, these pony cars were singing to a much deeper tune than any of the 2010 models that we had ever heard before. That is because under the hood Ford was testing out the new, all-aluminum 32-valve 5.0 Liter V8 that makes around 400 HP and 400 lb-ft of torque. Dubbed the "Coyote," this new power plant will give the Mustang a fighting chance against modern day muscle like the 426 HP Chevrolet Camaro SS and 376 HP Dodge Challenger R/T.
The prototypes that were spotted testing were wearing sticky Pirelli P Zero Corsa r-compound tires, the same rubber donuts that are used in super car applications. This means that we could see an even more potent track package in 2011 as well. Now we will just have to wait until November when Ford Raptor owners can experiment with shoehorning the all new 6.2 Liter V8 into a Mustang chassis, although they both make the same amount of power, the extra displacement would be worth some bragging rights.

400lb-ft seems a bit optimistic for a 5L displacement. I wonder if Ford will be using direct injection.

See Some Case Studies Let Us Help You
How to Do It Right: Become a High Performance Organization
Technical Due Diligence for Acquisitions
Cutter Consortium's Technical Due Diligence for Acquisitions ensures an unbiased assessment of the software, software architecture, technology, security, and technology skills of your potential acquisition. Discover the value and SWOTs of your target company's current-state systems.
Agile Enablement
Cutter Consortium's agile enablement engagement provides your organization with experienced, hands-on assistance to jump-start and guide your transition to agile methods. Cutter's team of experts helps you identify which agile practices will bring the greatest return on investment to your organization. Our goal: to enable you to implement agile methods quickly and effectively, shorten your product development schedule, and increase the quality of the resultant product.
Agile Assessment
A complete assessment of an organization's use of agile methods, its software engineering practices, and its project management skills and capabilities can be a significant undertaking, particularly for a large organization. Cutter's team is exceptionally skilled at performing the assessment you need.
Technical Debt Assessment and Valuation
In a Technical Debt Assessment and Valuation, Cutter's Senior Consultants examine the quality of the software under examination through technical and business lenses.
Software Development Analytics
Cutter's modern analytics in software development consulting, led by Cutter Senior Consultant Dr. Murray Cantor, delivers real-time knowledge about your software development operation and the adjustments you can make to deliver optimal business value — whether the goal is better financial outcomes, faster time to market, or operational efficiency.
Agile-EVM Performance Measurement Workshop
Agile adoption goes hand in hand with abandoning so-called traditional project management. Yet new projects are continously faced with legitimate management questions. Now you can answer these questions with confidence when you adapt the Earned Value Management method (EVM) into your Agile product development process.
Supporting Go/No-Go Investment Decisions with Technical Due Diligence
For venture capitalists and M&A pros who need to make quick go/no-go investment decisions, we offer a streamlined variant of our Technical and Process Review. What makes it a finely honed tool for evaluating investment decisions?
Technical and Process Review
The fact of the matter is, often times you are at loss as to how to improve your software. You know it needs improving because you can identify the symptoms -- perhaps poor business results, late delivery, inadequate quality or low productivity -- but their root cause is not so clear.
Improve Measured Business Performance with Lean
It's easy for a Lean or Agile initiative to get disconnected from the reasons a business exists. James Sutton brings his big picture perspective and wide experience -- from leadership on small teams to billion-dollar programs -- to helping your organization (re)align to improve its business's bottom line. Using James' approach, your organization will decrease waste by improving value and flow.
Risk Management Oversight
Get assistance and ongoing support risk management oversight and guidance for your enterprise.
Risk Management Assessment
By framing the questions explicitly in terms of a worst case; switching perspectives and allowing people to describe the best case; examining blame-free, blameworthy, and partial failures, and employing additional techniques, Tim Lister is able to overcome the hesitation that prevents most people in most companies from articulating many risks they are aware of.
Project Office Development
Our Senior Consultants will work with you to design, build, and implement an independent Project Office that will enable you to consistently collect data, analyze it, and present the results.
Project Chartering
An effective project chartering session is the best way to ensure that a project gets started correctly. Cutter's project chartering sessions help establish a project's team values, vision, mission, objectives, project community, measures of success, scope and boundaries, committed resources, and working agreements.
Organizational Development Assessments
IT Organizational Assessments examine the strengths and weaknesses of your organization so you can capitalize on the former and correct the latter.

FORT LAUDERDALE -- After months of study and debate, residents of Bayview Drive are one step closer to getting their stop signs.
City commissioners have voted to ask the county to install the signs.
Seyed Safavian, the city's traffic planner, has said the signs should be in place by mid-September.
Four-way stop signs will be placed along Bayview Drive at Northeast 59th Street and Northeast 55th Place. A three-way stop will be added at Bayview Drive and Northeast 55th Street.

In 2017, Forbes Listed ANTEX as one of "America's Most Trustworthy Financial Companies." American National Insurance Company of Texas is rated (A) with A.M. Best.
The Medicare company offers the lowest pricing in some states for plans F, G, and N. Especially in Wyoming, Oklahoma, and Kentucky.
ANTEX founded in 1905 based on solid management and investment ideas. Jim Pozzi, President and CEO of American National, stated, "Financial Strength and Integrity are two of American National's top corporate values."
One of the biggest benefits of ANTEX's Medicare Supplements is the easy to qualify HouseHold Discount, making the company exceptionally competitive. You can qualify for the 7% household discount with only one other person who resides in the same household over the age of 18.
I won't make as much money!
False! Over time Medicare Supplements add up to a sizeable monthly income compared to a Final Expense (SIWL) policies that will probably fall off the books and that drop massively in renewals after the first-year commission.
There are too many rules to follow!
Again, Not True! While this may be true of Medicare Advantage, this is not the case for regular Medicare Supplements. In fact, they take no more time to sell than a life insurance policy.
Align yourself with an insurance company that weathered the test of time.

If we were having coffee, I would ask you to come to my house. I would set out a table full of cookies (or biscuits as the English and French would say) and talk about how confusing the Paris weather has been. This morning it was raining and this afternoon it decided to be sunny and slightly warm. Continue reading "If We Were Having Coffee: Art, Presentation and Doubt"

If We Were Having Coffee
I have not done one of these posts in a really long time, and I feel like a reflection piece is needed. I know that for the whole month of March I was absent. I feel like I was absent from my family, distant in more ways than just miles. I feel like writing became a job for the month, and less so how I always feel about it, enjoyment and creativity.

Ahhhh Thursdays. Hello. It is almost, finally, the end of the week. Thursday has to be one of my favorite days. More than halfway done! Okay, now I feel like I am just stating the obvious. Also, today happens to be the 13th which is my favorite number and two days away from my three month anniversary with Paris (yes, Paris and I are that annoying couple that celebrate each months anniversary because… it is Paris).
If We Were Having Coffee (Or Hot Chocolate?)
It's Thursday, yay!
If we were having coffee, I would probably have ordered (or made, depending on where we decided to chat) a hot chocolate instead.

I apologize for not being able to write this on time for Thursday (my original day in posting these)!
If we were having coffee… I would say that Paris is driving me crazy. I have realized that I am not the only one it has done that to. I wonder if it is the rush of the city, the speed, everyone at their own thing.I went to a free read poetry bar last night and I realized that a lot of them felt that Paris is one of the biggest lies in the world. Paris drives me crazy… but it is not one of the biggest lies. It is a city. If Paris was a lie, so then is Los Angeles and New York City and London… Because it is not the individual cities that are the lies, but the idea of a city in itself.

Collaboration apps are now taking over the corporate app space. Multinationals are not taking work collaboration apps as a joke. They are now of a high commodity in modern workplaces especially through businesses where staff are distant or they work from home.
We posted a review on how to maximize team efficiency using Asana app; today we'll look at Slack and Loom which are also collaboration and workplace performance apps. The interesting part of these apps is that they achieve the same results although different.
Advantages of using collaboration apps
Collaboration apps are very instrumental in large corporations with large staff. The advantages of these collabo apps are numerous, some of which are:
- Promotion of Efficiency
- Effectiveness
- An economical way to keep track of progress
- To place deadlines.
- To identify efficient and effective staff.
- To have a close working relationship with teammates.
If you really want to try a collaboration app in your workplace, this post will guide you to the two best collaboration app, so, let's get to it!
Slack collaboration app
Slack is a cloud-based software that comprises of team collaboration tools and services. It was founded in 2013 by Stewart Butterfield. Slack is an acronym of Searchable Log of All Conversation and Knowledge.
Slack aids colleagues at the workplace by using searchable files, conversation, and people. Teams are created via a URL or invitation sent by a teammate who is usually the team administrator. It provides a private chat platform which allows private channels to allow for private conversation between teams.
There is also the option of direct messages to specific persons. The team admin or leader can always search for past messages to remind teammates as their deadline come closer. Slack like most team collabo apps have integrations with 3rd party apps like Google drive, Trello, Dropbox, Zendesk, etc.
Most of their integrations are with cloud storage and cloud computing apps for efficient storage. Slack also gives the option of plugins which aids users to customize the features to their preferences.
Loom collaboration app
Loom is also a team collaboration/ assistance platform, the difference is that it does not use text or pictures, rather it uses visual media; videos. The application gives people the option of collaboration via videos.
Employers and team leaders can share videos, directly giving people a more direct interaction, you can also share tutorials by using the app to relay instructions on what to do on systems and apps. Loom was set up in 2016 by Shahed Khan, Joe Thomas, and Vinay Hiremath.
They have $10 per month pro version which provides the user with HD videos, call to actions after videos and analytics that give details of engagements and feedback.
Loom as a company had issues of funding at the beginning but now has a series of investments from firms and individuals and is now valued at $11 million.
Best use case for Slack and Loom
- Sales Teams
- Marketing Teams.
- Teams who are distant from each other.
- Customer feedback sessions
- Project Managers.
Slack and Loom can be best used for any of the following. However, you will have to test the two apps to find out the one that works best for you or the one that meets your budgets.
There are several tools that will make teams work efficiently but the ones mentioned today are used by multinational corporations and other tech companies use their services especially those who provide integrations and/or plug-ins.
You should get acquainted with all these apps and I'm sure you will find out if they are more efficient than peer-to-peer messenger group chats.

Gingivectomy is the surgical removal of gum tissue or gingiva and Gingivoplasty is a type of gum surgery used to reshape healthy gum tissue around teeth. Both these surgical treatments are done by periodontists. Periodontists are dentists specialized in treating gums and the other structures that support teeth
At first, Gingivectomy was developed to treat periodontal disease. But now it is more commonly used to improve the appearance of the gums.
Reasons for the removal of gum tissues include:-
- Gaps or pockets which have formed between the teeth or gums. This may trap foods which gradually became the colonies of bacterias and ultimately leads to gum diseases. If the pockets involve only soft tissues, they can be removed by gingivectomy
- If there is too much gum tissue around the teeth, some people find it hard to clean the epithelial attachment (joint between gum and teeth).In severe cases, this conditions can interfere with chewing and speech. Excess growth of gum tissue is actually not apparent but sometimes it is caused due to the intake of some medicines.
Gingivoplasty usually is done to look gums better. Gingivoplasty reshapes the gums to make them look more natural. It is often done alone but also done during or after a gingivectomy. Gingivoplasty also can be done along with a gum graft. This type of surgery adds tissue to the gum line.

Antibiotics Summary
During our antibiotics teaching at medical school we were told that a recent survey of junior doctors had revealed that a significant proportion didn't realise that augmentin, tazocin, and carbopenems were penicillins and as such should not be given to those with known allergies. I devised a "mind-map" summarising the main antibiotics in use using information from the BNF and my own lecture notes. For me, seeing the information laid out in this manner, pinned above my desk as I work, helps me remember the major classes, their relationships with one another, and their major side-effects.

I can't get my head around pharmacology
Maybe it's just me, but I cannot get my head around pharmacology and antibiotics are certainly doing their best to finish me off! My group at uni decided that this was one area that we needed to revise, and the task fell on my hands to provide the material for a revision session. So, the night before the session I began to panic about how to come up with any useful tips for my group, or indeed anyone at all, to try to remember anything useful about antibiotics at all. If only Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin was a real drug, it would make our lives so much easier. Come on Adam Kay and Suman Biswas, get the trials started and create your wonderful super drug. For the mean time I guess I will just have to keep blissfully singing along to your song. However, that is not going to help me with my task in hand. After a lot of research that even took me beyond the realms of Wikipedia (something I do not often like to do), I found various sources suggesting remembering these Top 10 Rules (and their exceptions) All cell wall inhibitors are ?-lactams (except vancomycin) All penicillins are water soluble (nafcillin) All protein synthesis inhibitors are bacteriostatic (aminoglycosides) All cocci are Gram positive (Neisseria spp.) All bacilli are Gram negative (anthrax, tetanus, botulism, diptheria) All spirochetes are Gram negative Tetracyclines and macrolides are used for intracellular bacteria Pregnant women should not take tetracyclines, aminoglycosides, fluroquinolones, or sulfonamides Antibiotics beginning with a 'C' are particularly associated with pseudomembranous colitis While the penicillins are the most famous for causing allergies, people may also react to cephalosporins If those work for you, then I guess you can stop reading now… If they don't, I can't promise that I have anything better, but give these other tips that I found a whirl… Alternatively, I have created a Page on my own blog called Rang and Dale's answer to Antibiotics, which summarises their information, so please take a look at that. Most people will suggest that you can categorise antibiotics in three ways, and it's best to pick one and learn examples of them. Mode of action: bactericidal (kill) bacteriostatic (stop multiplying) 2 mnemonics to potentially help you remember examples: We're ECSTaTiC about bacteriostatics? Erythromycin Clindamycin Sulphonamides Tetracyclines Trimethoprim Chloramphenicol Very Finely Proficient At Cell Murder (bactericidal) - Vancomycin Fluroquinolones Penicillins Aminoglycosides Cephalosporins Metranidazole Spectrum of activity: broad-spectrum (gram positive AND negative) narrow (gram positive OR negative) Mechanism of action Inhibit cell wall synthesis Inhibit nucleic acid synthesis Inhibit protein synthesis Inhibit cell membrane synthesis If you have any more weird and wonderful ways to remember antibiotics, let me know and I will add them! As always, thank you for reading.

Cranial Nerve Examination - Abnormal
Cranial Nerve 1- Olfaction This patient has difficulty identifying the smells presented. Loss of smell is anosmia. The most common cause is a cold (as in this patient) or nasal allergies. Other causes include trauma or a meningioma affecting the olfactory tracts. Anosmia is also seen in Kallman syndrome because of agenesis of the olfactory bulbs. Cranial Nerve 2- Visual acuity This patientâs visual acuity is being tested with a Rosenbaum chart. First the left eye is tested, then the right eye. He is tested with his glasses on so this represents corrected visual acuity. He has 20/70 vision in the left eye and 20/40 in the right. His decreased visual acuity is from optic nerve damage. Cranial Nerve II- Visual field The patient's visual fields are being tested with gross confrontation. A right sided visual field deficit for both eyes is shown. This is a right hemianopia from a lesion behind the optic chiasm involving the left optic tract, radiation or striate cortex. Cranial Nerve II- Fundoscopy The first photograph is of a fundus showing papilledema. The findings of papilledema include 1. Loss of venous pulsation 2. Swelling of the optic nerve head so there is loss of the disc margin 3. Venous engorgement 4. Disc hyperemi 5. Loss of the physiologic cup an 6. Flame shaped hemorrhages. This photograph shows all the signs except the hemorrhages and loss of venous pulsations. The second photograph shows optic atrophy, which is pallor of the optic disc resulting form damage to the optic nerve from pressure, ischemia, or demyelination. Images Courtesy Dr. Kathleen Digre, University of Uta Cranial Nerves 2 & 3- Pupillary Light Refle The swinging flashlight test is used to show a relative afferent pupillary defect or a Marcus Gunn pupil of the left eye. The left eye has perceived less light stimulus (a defect in the sensory or afferent pathway) then the opposite eye so the pupil dilates with the same light stimulus that caused constriction when the normal eye was stimulated. Video Courtesy of Dr.Daniel Jacobson, Marshfield Clini and Dr. Kathleen Digre, University of Uta Cranial Nerves 3, 4 & 6- Inspection & Ocular Alignmen This patient with ocular myasthenia gravis has bilateral ptosis, left greater than right. There is also ocular misalignment because of weakness of the eye muscles especially of the left eye. Note the reflection of the light source doesn't fall on the same location of each eyeball. Video Courtesy of Dr.Daniel Jacobson, Marshfield Clini and Dr. Kathleen Digre, University of Uta Cranial Nerves 3, 4 & 6- Versions • The first patient shown has incomplete abduction of her left eye from a 6th nerve palsy. • The second patient has a left 3rd nerve palsy resulting in ptosis, dilated pupil, limited adduction, elevation, and depression of the left eye. Second Video Courtesy of Dr.Daniel Jacobson, Marshfield Clini and Dr. Kathleen Digre, University of Uta Cranial Nerves 3, 4 & 6- Duction Each eye is examined with the other covered (this is called ductions). The patient is unable to adduct either the left or the right eye. If you watch closely you can see nystagmus upon abduction of each eye. When both eyes are tested together (testing versions) you can see the bilateral adduction defect with nystagmus of the abducting eye. This is bilateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia often caused by a demyelinating lesion effecting the MLF bilaterally. The adduction defect occurs because there is disruption of the MLF (internuclear) connections between the abducens nucleus and the lower motor neurons in the oculomotor nucleus that innervate the medial rectus muscle. Saccades Smooth Pursui The patient shown has progressive supranuclear palsy. As part of this disease there is disruption of fixation by square wave jerks and impairment of smooth pursuit movements. Saccadic eye movements are also impaired. Although not shown in this video, vertical saccadic eye movements are usually the initial deficit in this disorder. Video Courtesy of Dr.Daniel Jacobson, Marshfield Clini and Dr. Kathleen Digre, University of Utah Optokinetic Nystagmu This patient has poor optokinetic nystagmus when the tape is moved to the right or left. The patient lacks the input from the parietal-occipital gaze centers to initiate smooth pursuit movements therefore her visual tracking of the objects on the tape is inconsistent and erratic. Patients who have a lesion of the parietal-occipital gaze center will have absent optokinetic nystagmus when the tape is moved toward the side of the lesion. Vestibulo-ocular refle The vestibulo-ocular reflex should be present in a comatose patient with intact brainstem function. This is called intact "Doll's eyes" because in the old fashion dolls the eyes were weighted with lead so when the head was turned one way the eyes turned in the opposite direction. Absent "Doll's eyes" or vestibulo-ocular reflex indicates brainstem dysfunction at the midbrain-pontine level. Vergenc Light-near dissociation occurs when the pupils don't react to light but constrict with convergence as part of the near reflex. This is what happens in the Argyll-Robertson pupil (usually seen with neurosyphilis) where there is a pretectal lesion affecting the retinomesencephalic afferents controlling the light reflex but sparing the occipitomesencephalic pathways for the near reflex. Video Courtesy of Dr.Daniel Jacobson, Marshfield Clini and Dr. Kathleen Digre, University of Uta Cranial Nerve 5- Sensor There is a sensory deficit for both light touch and pain on the left side of the face for all divisions of the 5th nerve. Note that the deficit is first recognized just to the left of the midline and not exactly at the midline. Patients with psychogenic sensory loss often identify the sensory change as beginning right at the midline. Cranial Nerves 5 & 7 - Corneal refle A patient with an absent corneal reflex either has a CN 5 sensory deficit or a CN 7 motor deficit. The corneal reflex is particularly helpful in assessing brainstem function in the unconscious patient. An absent corneal reflex in this setting would indicate brainstem dysfunction. Cranial Nerve 5- Motor • The first patient shown has weakness of the pterygoids and the jaw deviates towards the side of the weakness. • The second patient shown has a positive jaw jerk which indicates an upper motor lesion affecting the 5th cranial nerve. First Video Courtesy of Alejandro Stern, Stern Foundation Cranial Nerve 7- Motor • The first patient has weakness of all the muscles of facial expression on the right side of the face indicating a lesion of the facial nucleus or the peripheral 7th nerve. • The second patient has weakness of the lower half of his left face including the orbicularis oculi muscle but sparing the forehead. This is consistent with a central 7th or upper motor neuron lesion. Video Courtesy of Alejandro Stern, Stern Foundatio Cranial Nerve 7- Sensory, Tast The patient has difficulty correctly identifying taste on the right side of the tongue indicating a lesion of the sensory limb of the 7th nerve. Cranial Nerve 8- Auditory Acuity, Weber & Rinne Test This patient has decreased hearing acuity of the right ear. The Weber test lateralizes to the right ear and bone conduction is greater than air conduction on the right. He has a conductive hearing loss. Cranial Nerve 8- Vestibula Patients with vestibular disease typically complain of vertigo – the illusion of a spinning movement. Nystagmus is the principle finding in vestibular disease. It is horizontal and torsional with the slow phase of the nystagmus toward the abnormal side in peripheral vestibular nerve disease. Visual fixation can suppress the nystagmus. In central causes of vertigo (located in the brainstem) the nystagmus can be horizontal, upbeat, downbeat, or torsional and is not suppressed by visual fixation. Cranial Nerve 9 & 10- Moto When the patient says "ah" there is excessive nasal air escape. The palate elevates more on the left side and the uvula deviates toward the left side because the right side is weak. This patient has a deficit of the right 9th & 10th cranial nerves. Video Courtesy of Alejandro Stern, Stern Foundatio Cranial Nerve 9 & 10- Sensory and Motor: Gag Refle Using a tongue blade, the left side of the patient's palate is touched which results in a gag reflex with the left side of the palate elevating more then the right and the uvula deviating to the left consistent with a right CN 9 & 10 deficit. Video Courtesy of Alejandro Stern, Stern Foundation Cranial Nerve 11- Moto When the patient contracts the muscles of the neck the left sternocleidomastoid muscle is easily seen but the right is absent. Looking at the back of the patient, the left trapezius muscle is outlined and present but the right is atrophic and hard to identify. These findings indicate a lesion of the right 11th cranial nerve. Video Courtesy of Alejandro Stern, Stern Foundation Cranial Nerve 12- Moto Notice the atrophy and fasciculation of the right side of this patient's tongue. The tongue deviates to the right as well because of weakness of the right intrinsic tongue muscles. These findings are present because of a lesion of the right 12th cranial nerve.

Vitamin D: some perspective please
Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with an ever expanding list of diseases, and with this has come almost tonic-like claims for vitamin D supplementation. In observational studies, low vitamin D status has been associated with increased risk of multiple sclerosis, type 1 and type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, colon cancer, breast cancer, autoimmunity, and allergy.1 The UK government has advised that all pregnant women, and children under 5 years, should take 400 IU vitamin D daily; a recent news story, however, reported a survey conducted by a charity which suggested that only 26% of pregnant women and 46% of healthcare professionals are aware of these guidelines.2 The most recent musculoskeletal trend seems to be the attribution of childhood problems such as Blount's disease and slipped femoral epiphyses to vitamin D deficiency and the incorrect conflation of rickets with low serum calcidiol (25-hydroxyvitamin D3) concentrations.3 So are health professionals causing ill health through their lack of awareness and advocacy of vitamin D supplementation?

What Happens When You Forget to Change Your Filter
So you know you're supposed to change your air filter regularly, generally every three months or even more frequently. But, life happens and often changing filters is something that we store in the back of our minds as we think about day-to-day life—work, kids and our social lives—and we might just forget.So what's the danger in this? How will forgetting to change your air filter affect you, your family and anyone else who enters your home?Problem #1: You'll experience a poorer quality of air in your home.Air filters & AC filters works to trap harmful particles like mold, pet dander and bacteria that would otherwise pollute the air in your home. If a filter isn't changed in due time, it will simply run out of room to collect more of these contaminants.Say you spill some juice. You grab a paper towel and cover the spill. After the first paper towel becomes too saturated to absorb more juice, you throw it away and grab and second one to continue cleaning up the spill. That second paper towel is necessary to keeping your home clean in the same way a new filter is.Problem #2 : Your HVAC system will work less efficiently, or not at all.In short, when you forget to change your air filter, contaminants like pollen and dust clog the filter and keep it from doing its job—cleaning the air that circulates throughout your home. And preventing your filter from doing the work it was deigned to do, not only keeps your HVAC system from doing the same, but also may harm it. and adds up to indoor air pollution which very harmful.Your HVAC system is powered by a fan motor that will have to work harder and harder to push air through a clogged filter. This additional pressure may cause the fan motor to overheat or even break entirely. Replacing a broken HVAC system will cost you—but so will letting an HVAC system run with a dirty filter. More work for the fan motor translates to higher charges on your electric bill. Additionally, a dirty evaporative (cooling) coil can dramatically reduce your airconditioners performance.Problem #3: You'll inadvertently make your home dirtier.If your air filter becomes too clogged, the dust and dirt particles that it won't be able to trap will simply recirculate throughout your home. This means dirt will collect quickly on surfaces within your house. Chances are, if you notice you're dusting more frequently, it's time to change your filter. No one wants to live in a dirty home, and cleaning more is certainly a pain, but it's important to remember that the worst part of having more dirt in your home comes from breathing in that dirt. Failing to change your filter means living in an environment that will negatively affect your family's health—especially if they have allergies, weak immune systems or other medical conditions.Furthermore, failing to change your filter can be negative for the environment as a whole. Remember, how clogged filters make your HVAC system work harder? As they expend more energy, your carbon footprint increases.Though changing your air filter may be an easy task to forget, it's one that is important for your family's health. You want to make sure the air they breathe is clean, especially if they suffer from allergies or conditions like asthma. If you need help remembering to change your air filter, try setting an alarm on your phone or marking your digital or paper calendar. Or you might align changing your filter with other important events on your calendar. Find one chore that you do every 3 months or more frequently depending on your needs, and plan to change your filter at the same time. If you're noticing more dust in your home, or having more trouble with allergies than usual, you can take the hint that perhaps it's time. When in doubt, just take your air filter out and see how dirty it looks. Changing your filter may be hard to remember, but the good news is, it's a quick and easy way to improve your quality of life.

Where Does Cannabis Ruderalis Grow Better?
The article could be looked at two different ways. Growth might depend on places or also might depend on the nature of growth i.e. indoors or outdoors. In this particular article, both the aspects have been discussed.
Growth based on outdoors
There are certain requirements for growth of marijuana outdoors. First of all, the plant grows better outdoors exposed to sunlight for at least 4 – 6 hrs. a day. Therefore it is important to make sure that the plants are planted in pots so that they have mobility. It is always good to supply a lot of fresh air to the plants. Water should be supplied to the plants at regular intervals. However, one has to be careful from over watering them as it might damage the plants. The soil is better if it is fluffy and loose as the perlite helps the plant growth. Preventive measures have to be made so that the plants are not attacked by pests or insects especially in the first 4 – 5 weeks. It is always advisable for the breeders growing Cannabis outdoors to do not decrease the duration of the vegetative phase of the plants. Protection from molds is also necessary. Be careful to separate the male plants from females thereby avoiding pollination.
Growth based on indoors
People who are interested to grow marijuana indoors should ensure that the plants have sufficient supply of light. It is advisable to have supply of light belonging especially to the red and blue spectrum. It is better to place the lights 40 – 60 cms away from the plant. It is also advisable to maintain a temperature of 20 – 25 degree C for ideal growth of marijuana. The power of the lights might vary from 250 – 280 watts. For indoor growth supply of air could be in the form of breeze provided by a fan. Please make sure that you supply adequate water to the plants but do not overwater them.
Location wise, the Cannabis Ruderalis is said to have good amount of growth in the harsh climates of northern Russia, Europe and also Canada. They also thrive well in the eastern and central parts of Europe and in countries like Latvia, Czech Republic and Poland. However, their growth seems to be the best in certain parts of Russia as well. Central Asia and some parts of Afghanistan also grow Ruderalis.

4K Schmix: Mixer and Primer
4K Schmix is a unique mixer and primer all in one and it will blow your mind. Watch it transform 4K Longwear Creme into a totally translucent glaze whilst maintaining its Longwear and Hydroproof Properties. Watch it transform your skin by creating a Gaussian Blur to pores and fine lines. Literally Magic in a Bottle. Must Have.
In stock
4K Schmix is a unique mixer and primer developed to sheer down 4K Longwear Creme and still maintain its longwear and hydroproof capability. You can now go barely-there translucent and also create silky foundations that last all day. Schmix enables more application and blending time, and once your custom blend dries, it lasts all day, is weightless, non greasy and comfortable to wear.
4K Schmix is completely transparent so that you can take the Longwear Creme down to a translucent stain or glaze. It gives a dewy finish that does not need powdering. This means that light is still able to pass through skin to give luminous gorgeous realistic skin finish. It's magic in a bottle.
4K Schmix as a Mixer enables you to create a:
- Foundation
- Sheer Cheek Stain
- Sheer Lip Stain
- Creme Shadow
- Creme Liner
- Brow Colour
- Golden Tan
Once it sets….No powder needed. Yes! No Powder Needed!
4K Schmix as a Primer acts like a Gaussian Blur, gently reducing the appearance of fine lines and pores. We tried it on the face and on 50 year old hands and the difference was noticeable at once; little lines and creases on the hands just disappeared and facial pores looked less obvious. For a bare faced look without makeup, use it in this simple form and see the difference. Great for men with more open pores around the T zone and chin too!!
Siân's Tip
If using under makeup as a Primer for best results, apply 4K Longwear Schmix to cleansed skin – do not use on top of oil-based moisturizers as they are too heavy with this formula; keep it simple!
Apply with a medium sized brush like our Pyramid Concealer: Nouveau 2, our Beautiful Blender: Classic 9 or even our Finest Foundation: Classic 10 and Soft Oblique Contour: Nouveau 18. As sponges absorb and waste too much product, applying with a brush gives best results.
If using as a Mixer for 4K Longwear Creme, put a little in the lid of the palette and using a smaller brush, take a little and work directly from the wells. Or scoop a little Longwear Creme out of the well and mix on a palette with Schmix. Play around and see what works best for you and your technique!
