A witchy kind of Pleb could surely be forgiven for wondering why Harriet Harman is now speaking out so loudly for a public inquiry into the allegations surrounding Jimmy Savile.
I suppose it's because, as always, "lessons need to be learned".
Has Harriet Harman already learned a lesson?
When much younger in the 1970's was she so punch drunk with the complex ideas surrounding the meaning of "liberty" that she crept into a situation where she allowed herself, through the pressure group the "National Council for Civil Liberties" now known as "Liberty" to affiliate herself with the pro-paedophilia groups PIE and PAL as mentioned in the previous post?
The Telegraph is picking up on this today:
"Harriet Harman, the Opposition deputy leader, said the allegations that the late TV and radio presenter abused dozens of young boys and girls had "cast a stain" on the BBC and other trusted institutions.
But at the time Savile was at the height of his fame, Miss Harman was calling for the relaxation of the law on child pornography.
She was a leading light in the pressure group now known as Liberty, which advocated the lowering of the age of consent to 14.
The organisation, then run by the Health Secretary under Tony Blair, Patricia Hewitt, even counted among its affiliates a number of extreme pro-paedophilia groups whose leaders were later jailed.
It means that any independent public inquiry into the culture that allowed Savile to abuse children for so long with impunity, could end up looking into the radical left-wing demands for the liberalisation of child sex laws that were made in the 1970s."
Can a witchy kind of Pleb be forgiven for thinking that it is time for Harriet Harman and Patricia Hewitt, an ex Secretary of State for Health after all, to let her and the rest of the country know exactly what was going through their heads during the time that they appeared to be embracing PIE and PAL?
"By 1978 PIE and Paedophile Action for Liberation had become affiliated to The National Council for Civil Liberties, later re-branded as Liberty, with members attending meetings. The organisation was headed by future Labour Government Minister Patricia Hewitt and it campaigned against newspapers' treatment of the Paedophile activist groups. Whilst affiliated with NCCL, PIE also campaigned to reduce the age of consent and oppose the proposed banning of child pornography, with future Labour Minister Harriet Harman arguing that "childhood sexual experiences, willingly engaged in, with an adult result in no identifiable damage" and that the 1978 Protection of Children Act would lead to "damaging and absurd prosecutions". Whilst PIE was affiliated with it, the organisation argued for incest to be decriminalised and argued that sexually explicit photographs of children should be legal unless it could be proven that the subject had suffered harm or that the an inference to that effect or to the effect that harm might have been caused could reasonably be drawn from the images themselves, with Harman arguing that it would "increase censorship".[3] NCCL excluded PIE in 1983.[4]"
The Witch Doctor, being a benevolent soul, is telling herself that they must have meant well at the time.
But she is also telling herself that they, being of The Humankind, are extremely susceptible to Creep.
And sometimes Creep has a painful Sting in its tail.
It is surely in the public interest that they should speak out now about their thoughts both then and now about paedophilia.
It could even be that The Plebs are altogether capable of better judgement of what might lead to Creep on matters such a this.

Wherein I look a gift horse in the mouth
This evening I attended an event at the Nokia Research Center in Palo Alto. I was looking forward to something similar to Yahoo's Design Expo from a bit back -- demonstrations of cool new mobile technology, things to play with, people to chat with.
Instead what I got was a '99-era party with boatloads of free food (I stuffed myself on nigiri and dipping sweets in a chocolate fountain), all taking place in an overcrowded tent, populated mostly by Silicon Valley types with no soul. There were only three things being demonstrated (2 game thingies and a cameraphone picture service). It was utterly unclear to me what the point of the event was (and why I was invited). The buzz was that this was a recruiting event in disguise.
The most interesting thing for me was hearing the depression of various Yahoo employees who happened to be there. Supposedly the last all-hands earnings meeting was a remarkable downer (with good reason). If you're looking to hire someone, and you know Yahoos, this might be a good time to give them a call. (Which is a little sad -- there's amazing talent there, but from what I can tell, there's just swaths and swaths of unnecessary middle management getting in the way of getting things done. And no, I don't know when my blog turned into a bland Valleywag.)

East of Eden
I got back into walking and listening to music and audio books. Dug out the iPod, it still worked but I'd totally forgotten how to use it. Thank Google for the internet. It taught me all I needed to know. First day I had it out I couldn't even remember how to shuffle and was condemned to listen to a lot of Massive Attack. Got bored with that and re-learned how to load music. I don't do iTunes, hate how it's always persuading me to buy stuff. Uploaded the Carolina Chocolate Drops and Odetta. Blown away by Odetta.
Audio books. Wolf Hall. I have the book in the house, Bert loved it but I just couldn't get round to it. I enjoyed listening to it. Next was On The Road by Jack Kerouac. Never read it, although it's been on my shelves for a very long time. On The Road put me in the mood for Steinbeck. But first I listened to Jane Eyre which I'd read as a child. I started with a Librivox edition, volunteer recordings. As always with Librivox, some of the readers were dire and there were ridiculous and irritating pronunciations. Who wants to listen to an American college girl pronouncing Hebrides as Heb-Rides. Not I. I found I'd already got a better version on my hard drive and abandoned Librivox. Then Bert had been reading (for the first time) Steinbeck's East of Eden and he loved it. I'd read it twice before. The first time I picked it up was when I was still in primary school. My Uncle Desmond had a big collection of Reader's Digest condensed novels and I used to peruse them looking for the ones with pictures of animals or children. East of Eden appealed to me. There were illustrations of Cal and Aaron Trask as babies being bathed out of doors by the Chinese servant Lee. It got even better when the girl child Abra was introduced. I read the whole thing even if most of it flew over my head. Abridged novels usually leave out the juicy parts. My lord! I had no idea what East of Eden was leaving out. I read it again (complete version) in my late teens and could hardly believe that I'd read it as a child.
I always knew I'd get back to it some day. Listening to the novel has been exhilarating. I remembered a good deal of it, especially the parts that related to children. I knew that Abra was going to throw that rabbit package away. Back in my young days I really felt for Aaron and thought Abra a brat but now I understand her better. Today as I Dutch-hoed and prepared beds for Spring planting I listened to Lee tell Adam the story of his beginnings. That was a rough, hard story. It went over my head as a teenager. I couldn't have comprehended such an atrocity at that stage of my life.
I was first attracted to the book by the illustrations and descriptions of children. Now in my mature years I am delighted by the older characters, most particularly Samuel Hamilton and Lee, I even have a soft spot for Liza Hamilton who took to drink in her later years after a life-long abhorrence of alcohol. It turned out that it is OK if it is medicinal and is taken with a tea spoon.
I've read nearly everything that Steinbeck wrote. Notable exceptions are The Pearl, The Log from the Sea of Cortez and Travels With Charley. I have them all sitting waiting for me. And there is still the last part of East of Eden which, happily, I don't recall apart from something regarding soggy lettuce. And I'm hopeful of a miserable ending for Cathy.

Maid-sama! Vol. 01 (2009)
About book: 1. Girl breaks metal and tears piercings out of bare skin. *feeling empowered hell yeah*2. When will people accept that a dashing ravishing hot-n-cold charming jerk-with-heart-of-gold boy...3. Is a dashing ravishing hot-n-cold charming jerk-with-heart-of-gold stalker/pervert. (yes, pervwrt because no, I do not approve of random boys lifting my skirt.)4. I just don't grasp why I hate the animes/mangas everyone else adores/worships. Sigh. 5. Nope. One volume of stalking and tom-foolery is enough and more.Okayokayokay, Usui is hot. Can't deny the idiot that. I just kind of hoped that those glasses in the vice-versa stalking chapter remained. He looked kinda cute in them. Okayokayokay he looked awfully cute in them. And yes 'cute' is a substitute for another word. Ahemahemahem.I know that he is a stalker. But you know that I'm a girl. -.-;; There's a popular, cute guy in school who's been apathetic toward unsophisticated things until he had come across with a girl who has some sort of peculiarities that instantly piqued his curiosity. Then, one day, he had happened to know her unexpected secret and installed himself to sneak up with her and even helped her to conceal her secret and refrain from humiliation and resentment. The guy, whose name was Usui Takumi, had eventually developed an intimate affection toward the girl named Ayuzawa Misaki, unfortunately that girl was a top misandry and the unrelenting Student Council President in Sieka High School.Packed with humor, likable characters and its adorable graphic designs were resplendent. One of the volumes that would give suffice satisfaction to manga readers, required no much effort to wrestle your head from engraved words. The plot was delightfully ravishing. The sweet and funny moments were bodaciously crafted.4.5 rating is almost perfect at all.
One of my first manga books i started reading and i have to say that its one of my favorites.
its very funny read more for the humor the romance is a bit boring
I love this anime and I wanted to read the manga♥

|Home PageNew Zealand WineTwo Paddocks The Fusilier Bannockburn Vineyard Pinot Noir 2016
Two Paddocks The Fusilier Bannockburn Vineyard Pinot Noir 2016 £41.95
The Fusilier Vineyard is named in honour of Sam's father, Major Dermot Neill, a soldier in the Royal Irish Fusilier Regiment for twenty years before returning home to Dunedin, New Zealand, where he ran the family Wine & Spirit business, Neill & Co.
Planted entirely in 2000, The Fusilier is 5.6 hectares of Pinot Noir, on rolling northerly facing terraces at the western end of Felton Rd and bordered by the vineyard of the same name. Soils on the terraces consist of deep alluvial fans, which are made up of varying depths of silt, sand and gravel layering all derived from mountainous raw schist parent material.
This vineyard has produced a wine that has spicy red fruit, dried herb and wildflower aromatics leading to a feminine, lithe and textural driven wine. This wine shows great tension, verve, density and persistence.
The Wine Advocate
Feb '18, Joe Czerwinski
94+ Points
My favorite of the 2016s from Two Paddocks comes from the warmest of its vineyards, was vinified as 70% whole clusters and saw the largest proportion of new oak (33%). That probably says more about my palate than Dean Shaw's winemaking or the various vineyards Two Paddocks owns, but it is worth noting. The 2016 The Fusilier Pinot Noir is floral and stemmy up front, but it's balanced by layers of mixed fruit that offer richness and texture without excess weight, finishing on silken notes of incredible delicacy and length.

We won't now be taking FL to Stourport this year because of lock maintenance closures, today we went by road instead. The Staffordshire and Worcestershire canal links with the river Severn at Stourport. The river Stour also flows through the town.
The old wharfs and basins that stored the output from the Industrial Revolutions heartland via the canal are now mostly redeveloped .......quite tastefully in some places.
We had lunch in the Windlass cafe followed by a stroll around the basins and river bank.

We all know we have emotional stress, mental stress, toxic stress, and the list goes on.... But did you know you also likely have Geopathic stress? It is actually one of the easy ones to fix but can be hard to identify when you don't know what you are looking for. A professional kinesiologist trained in Geopathic Stress assessment and remediation can educate you and help you choose the right tools for your home or work place.
Geo means "from the earth" and pathic means "suffering", "feeling", so geopathic means suffering from or feeling bad from the earth. We are talking about the naturally occurring waves and fields that come from the earth which affect humans in negative ways. It can be caused by underground magnetic fields, flowing water, minerals, crust formations and caverns. There are grids that circle the world and provide the magnetic fields that birds use to migrate as well as create the flow energy inside the earth. Some of them damage the body and some of them feed the body. The negative ones create the polar effect with the positive ones that makes energy flow. The problem is when you build your house or workplace or school on top of a negative spot and then spend a great deal of time sitting or sleeping in that energy.
Some people are simply more sensitive to geopathic stress than others. Some people have a more robust constitution that doesn't seem to be bothered by the negative waves. For those who are sensitive it can be debilitating and scary. Many people will not heal when in that negative energy. Allergies are triggered by it as well.
Now in our modern times we have to add the Electro-Magnetic stressors that are man-made. On top of the natural earth energies we have flooded our planet with electronic signals like cell phones, digital TV, "smart" meters, high tension electric towers, and so forth. All these waves pass through us just like radio waves and can affect the organs and electric system of the body.
Check out how it is affecting you with these rating scales.
Geopathic Stress Exposure Rating
If you answered yes to 4 or more of the questions, you may have Geopathic Stress. Get tested by someone that understands how to test your muscles for the stress created by these waves. The East House Natural Health Centre can do this for you. We have a variety of tools that can change the Geopathic stress levels in your home or office to that you are no longer negatively affected by it. Protect yourself and your loved ones now.

New mum Steph seems to have had a makeover
Stephanie Davis has made her first public appearance since reuniting with Jeremy McConnell and she's got an incredible new look.
The actress – who gave birth to baby son Caben in January – posted an Instagram photo hours after attending the Professional Beauty Show in London on Monday and shocked fans with her very Kim Kardashian-esque transformation.
Stephanie Davis and Jeremy McConnell 'officially back together'?
'Blue eyes💙 @fern_makeup,' Steph, 23, captioned the snap, in which she's seen looking straight ahead as she showcases her flawless glowing skin and striking eye make-up.
The new mum wears a black top and has her dark tresses styled in bouncy waves. She's also rocking a pretty impressive pout too.
Many of Steph's followers barely even recognised her at first and some even thought the picture was of Kim K.
'I thought you were Kim Kardashian for a second!' one fan remarked, whilst another added: 'i had to double take i thought the same lol'
Meanwhile another posted: 'Omg you look like a Kardashian'
Steph had looked similarly glamorous earlier in the day as she promoted 3D-Lipo at the beauty event in the capital.
Wearing a daring red dress, the TV star posed for photos and seemed in good spirits amid continued speculation about her relationship with Jeremy.
On Monday a source alleged to The Sun that the former on-off couple ARE an item again after deciding to give the romance another go for the sake of their son.
However, a rep for Steph has since told MailOnline that the claims are 'rubbish'.
Despite this it's clear that Steremy ARE on better terms again, with 27-year-old Jeremy spotted out with Steph and baby Caben in Liverpool earlier this month.
He's also been caught liking Steph's Instagram photos and there are reports that the Irish model is planning to move to her home city so that he can be closer to his little family.
We think this one could run and run…

The House of Commons International Development Committee has called for a register of workers and a specialised ombudsman for the overseas aid sector, after concluding that organisations in this area displayed "complacency verging on complicity" towards the issue of sexual abuse and exploitation.
The committee's report, Sexual Exploitation and Abuse in the Aid Sector, published today, says abuse in the aid sector is endemic and that organisations are more concerned with protecting their reputations than with looking after victims.
The investigation by the cross-party group of MPs was prompted by newspaper stories about sexual exploitation of both development charity beneficiaries and staff earlier this year.
The report says the sector's response before the negative news stories emerged in February had been "reactive, patchy and sluggish".
Exploitation and abuse had been an "open secret", the report says, and those who spoke out were "silenced and ostracised". In many cases safeguarding policies had not been effectively implemented or funded, MPs found.
In the face of the news stories that exposed the issue, it says, "outrage is appropriate but surprise is not".
People who were responsible for sexual exploitation and abuse had too often been able to move to new organisations where they were able to abuse again, the report says.
"We need to see a rapid improvement of the methods for screening staff to prevent this from happening," it says.
"In the short term, this means strengthening referencing practices to improve the way that organisations communicate with each other about potentially dangerous individuals. In the longer term, this means a global register of aid workers who we can trust to operate according to the standards that we expect."
An international ombudsman should be set up, not as a "global Charity Commission" but to give victims somewhere to appeal to, the report says.
"The shortcomings that we have observed within the aid sector during the course of this inquiry demonstrate to us that self-regulation has failed," it says.
"Currently, when organisations fail to hold abusers to account, the victims and survivors have no other recourse to justice."
It also calls for the aid sector to ensure there is better gender balance on boards, at senior management level and throughout the workforce.
"While a structural gender imbalance persists within the sector, cultural change will be very difficult to achieve," the report says, calling for agreed targets and timeframes to be established at the international safeguarding conference in October.
It also calls on charities to empower their beneficiaries with knowledge of their rights and where to seek help, to proactively seek out reports of exploitation and to follow them up with investigation.
"A zero-tolerance culture on sexual exploitation and abuse is the least which victims (either in crisis situations or in the workplace) should expect," it says.
"Aid organisations must demonstrate transparency over reputation."
The sector and the Department for International Development should commit to making the recommended changes a reality when they come together for the the conference, the report says, and should not treat logistical, practical and financial difficulties as insurmountable obstacles.
It says DfID has historically failed to display leadership on the issue, although its response in recent months has been encouraging and must be sustained.
It says it is also incumbent on DfID and other donors to provide the resources for improved victim-centred reporting mechanisms.
The government must also ensure the Charity Commission has "sufficient resources" to meet the demand created by the likely increase in safeguarding-related incident reports, MPs say.
In a statement, the commission said it was pleased that the issue had been raised and it would continue to work with government to ensure it was adequately resourced to meet future challenges.
Stephen Twigg, chair of the committee, said the report was "putting all the relevant authorities on notice".
He said: "The International Development Committee will continue to give this high priority and we will be tracking progress with a view to ensuring real improvement is made.
"No matter how insurmountable this looks, solutions must be found. This horror must be confronted."
Penny Mordaunt, the international development secretary, welcomed the report.
"Until the sector is fully prepared to address the power imbalance, cultures and behaviours that allow sexual abuse, exploitation and harassment to happen, we will never stamp it out," she said.

Behind Independent Teesside is Jon-Paul and Chris, two childhood friends who were born and raised in Teesside and have a mission to make our area the best it can be.
Independent Teesside is all about championing local business and culture, encouraging people to support local businesses while making people proud of Teesside by highlighting all the great things on our doorstep.
To encourage people to break away from the chains and support local businesses we have a member's card, which rewards card holders for shopping local with a variety of discounts available at some of the best independent places to eat, drink, shop and visit throughout Teesside.
Why is supporting local businesses important to us?Sometimes Teesside can, unfairly, get a bad rep, but it's our home and we love it. We know about all the amazing places to eat, drink and shop here and we are passionate about spreading the word.
Local businesses are the backbone of our economy . Supporting local businesses, rather than larger chains, is actually better for the local economy for our community. To ensure a strong and sustainable local economy foundation people need to buy locally. Research shows that £10 spent with a local independent shop means up to an additional £50 goes back into the local economy. This is simply because the nearby shop owners, who you are spending your money with , will put that money back into the local community by going into local pubs and restaurants etc, thus circulating the money and allowing our community to thrive.

Culture Eats Change for Breakfast
May 15, 2017 By Dave Wilson
Culture is everything. Culture is the ultimate competitive advantage. Culture is being shocked by secular aggression, which is destroying our moral foundation.
In the last 50 years education in the United States has been a failure. Instead of educating our children, schools are indoctrinating them. We are using our schools as babysitters for the dysfunctional family. We are using our schools as social laboratories for the progressive liberals that promote failed secular policies.
All of these experiments show how Liberal/Progressive/Leftist leaders continue to present silly ideas as solutions.
We are now ranked the 25th in the world in Reading and Writing. We are ranked 31st in Arithmetic. Texas is ranked 40th in the United States. These rankings are unacceptable. It is past time for a change. Houston Community College (HCC) enrollment has declined 18% and the budget has increased 20% from 2011 to 2016. Worst of all, the quality of education is not where it should be.
The culture at Houston Community College must change. It starts at the top. The Board's focus must change from making land deals, building buildings we do not need, awarding contracts to friends, opening campuses outside of our taxing authority, last minute voting on "emergency" items, etc….
In order to change the culture at HCC I will need every citizen to get involved. We must wrestle control away from the special interest downtown money, and return control to the voters. As a board member I am extremely proud of HCC. I am working hard to make HCC a better place, but I need your help!

Bumper cheque from Hull IPF Support Group
We are thrilled and honoured to have received a wonderful donation of £2,000 from the Hull IPF Support Group.
The – literally! – bumper cheque was presented to our trustee, Wendy Dickinson, by Specialist Respiratory Nurse Mark Major and Dr Simon Hart, consultant physician.
Wendy says: " I visited the Hull group last week to give them an update on the work of Action for Pulmonary Fibrosis. At the end of my talk, Mark produced this enormous cheque and I can honestly say I was lost for words. Any donation and fundraising on behalf of the charity is wonderful but for it to come from a support group it is extra special."
And Mark added: " We raised the money over the past year in all sorts of ways – we have had raffles, cake stalls, donations from directly from patients, money in memory of patients. We've sold wristbands and t-shirts and one member, Veronica, makes and sells cards at the meeting and at other events for us. I even attended the local Women's Institute last night to learn about scarf tying…and to receive a cheque from them, from fund raising they have done. One of their members has IPF. That particular member also makes and sells bags and has raised £300 so far. Its amazing really, the generosity out there."

A shaky stock market makes people nervous. Naturally, they're scared of losing money. Alex, a reader in the U.K., wrote to say that he's finally ready to begin investing, but he's not sure that now is the time to do so. Should he wait?
I recently switched jobs to one that pays me better (and makes contributions to a pension!). My current savings are healthy enough to be considered an emergency fund; if I lost my job tomorrow and tightened my belt it would carry me through a couple of months of unemployment. I am 23.
I have never been so financially rosy, and I am certainly rosy enough to start investing. You've convinced me that index-linked funds (I'm talking about the things that track the stock market) are the way to go — a decent balance between risk and reward. But as we all know, things have been a bit rocky on the stock market lately.
Should I be investing now in a kind of buy-it-cheap kind of way, and accept that 'plummeting prices' just mean a loss of 1-2% that will be made up for in the long haul? Or should I wait a couple of months and keep that money in my current account, and make an investment in the new year when things are a little less volatile?
Alex is hoping to get some U.K.-specific advice. Because I'm unfamiliar with foreign markets, I'm going to use the U.S. stock market in my examples. I welcome comments that apply to all markets.
The short answer is: nobody knows what the stock market is going to do, and all attempts to guess simply amount to market timing, which is what the experts warn against. There's a significant chance that the market will drop more than just 4-5% during the next year — it could drop 10-20%! But history has show that with time, the market will increase.
Looking at QQQQ, an exchange-traded fund that tracks the NASDAQ index, you can see that the share price tumbled 15% this month. But the price is still nearly double what it was five years ago. The market is volatile. Prices swing up and down. Looking at short-term history is baffling. But looking at the long term shows a general pattern of growth. Pay attention to the long-term — the short-term will only cloud your judgment.
For myself, I've decided to trust the advice I've read over the past few years, advice that says if I make regular investments in index funds, the value of my money will increase with time. It may not always increase — in fact, it may see some significant declines — but it will generally increase.
Indeed, when an index fund declines in value, it doesn't bother me. I look at it as an opportunity for me to buy in at lower cost. But if an individual stock declines by a similar amount, I get very nervous. An individual stock is not diversified — if it drops, there are no other stocks there to buoy its value.
If you're worried that the U.S. stock market faces a rocky future, consider tucking some of your money into index funds that track foreign markets. For example, I have money in EFA, which is an exchange-traded fund that tracks European and Asian stock exchanges. (EFA is not the only option — there are other index funds of this sort. It's simply the fund that I decided worked well for me.) But be aware that foreign markets have their share of declines, too. This month, both QQQQ and EFA are down sharply.
Ultimately, only Alex can answer this question for himself. Only he can decide whether now is a good time for him to buy index funds. But my own answer is that every time is a good time for me to buy index funds.
Yesterday's issue of USA Today featured a story called "Where's the Best Place to Plant Your Money?" Here are some related articles from the Get Rich Slowly archives:
- What if the stock market makes you nervous? (This article includes links to risk-tolerance quizzes.)
- What the stock market decline means for you
- Saving and investing: What is a stock market index? (a video presentation)
- Intro to mutual funds: Index funds (a guest post from Vintek)
What about you? When the market's down, do you get cold feet? Or do you view it as an opportunity to buy? What's your advice for a new investor like Alex?
Updates: In the comments, Brad makes a very important point: "The crucial issue in making this decision is your time horizon. If you're investing for retirement and you're young, that's a totally different ball game than if you're investing to make money this year or next." My comments above apply to long-term investors.
Here are two other video presentations related to this discussion. The second presentation is particularly important — the linked page also includes graphs demonstrating how time mitigates market fluctuations.

Bremo Pharmacy loves taking care of expecting mothers, new moms, and babies by providing breast pumps, and compounded medications. Included in these services is immunizations for expecting moms. The Tdap (tetanus-diphtheria-pertussis) immunization is incredibly important for new moms and babies and can protect your baby.
Whooping cough (also known as pertussis) is a severe infection that can cause difficulty breathing and severe coughing spells. Babies are still trying to develop a strong immune system for the first six months of their life, which puts them at a much higher risk for developing whooping cough. Additionally, newborns and infants are at risk for the most severe forms of pertussis, which can lead to life-threatening complications, including inability to breath, brain disease, and death. Approximately, 10,000 to 50,000 cases of whooping cough are reported in babies each year in the United States. Fifty percent of babies who contract whooping cough are hospitalized. Of those babies requiring hospitalization, 1 out of 4 will get pneumonia, and 1 or 2 out of 100 will die.
Although whooping cough can be deadly to infants, there is an easy way to prevent babies from contracting this: immunizations. Expecting mothers should receive an immunization, called Tdap, in order to protect their infant. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that all moms should receive this immunization for every pregnancy between 27 and 36 weeks, preferably during the earlier part of this time frame. By getting the Tdap immunization while pregnant, mothers are able to provide antibodies (protective proteins that allow the baby to be protected) to the baby in the last few weeks of your pregnancy.
Since babies do not have a fully developed immune system to fight off infection, they rely on their parents, siblings, grandparents, and any other close contacts to be immunized. If these close contacts are up-to-date on all of their vaccines, babies are then protected from diseases around them. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommends that anyone who will be in close contact with the newborn baby should be up to date on their Tdap immunization and influenza immunization. Relatives should receive their Tdap immunization once in adulthood and their influenza immunization every fall during flu season.
At Bremo Pharmacy, we are able to provide and administer the Tdap immunization to you and your family members (over the age of 18) whenever you need it. All you need to do is arrive at our pharmacy and provide us with your prescription insurance card. Additionally, Bremo Pharmacy offers a variety of services for new moms, such as breast pumps and compression hose. To learn more about breast pumps and other ways to protect your baby, visit "Breast Pumps & Important Supplies" and "Medications & Breastfeeding".

"If you want to educate the masses, educate the leaders first."
In the ever expanding, ever-growing healthcare industry, doctors are the leaders. It's the doctors who lead the patients in managing their condition better. Doctors inspire their peers in seeking better alternatives for the management of their patients' condition.
We, at Life In Control, continuously strive to put this doctrine into practice. There is a growing need to educate people about adopting technology to manage their chronic conditions.
To that motive, we recently organized a conference on 'Smart Management of Diabetes' in Thane, Mumbai. The conference was held on March 5, 2017 and was attended by thirty of the most recognized doctors in the field of diabetes care and management. Also in attendance were members of the Curo Healthcare team along with Mr. Amitabh Nagpal, CEO, Curo Healthcare.
The conference started with inaugural speeches by keynote speakers – Dr. Pradeep Talwalkar. Dr. Alok Modi, and Mr. Amitabh Nagpal.
The speakers emphasized on the need to embrace technology to manage chronic diseases. They took note of the fact that traditional means are no longer a viable option considering the exponential rise in the number of patients, the economic burden, and the quality of care needed to manage chronic conditions.
Dr. Pradeep Talwalkar spoke at length on 'How to Optimize Data Generation in SMBG'. In his presentation, Dr. Talwalkar stated that in 2015, more than 415 million people were living with diabetes. India, with 69.2 million diabetics, ranks second in countries with highest diabetic population.
Later on, Dr. Talwalkar spoke on the futility of Self Monitoring Blood Glucose (SMBG) without intervention by Health Care Professionals (HCP). He said:
- Self Monitoring of Blood glucose in diabetes is a well established need. SMBG is ineffective if HCP interventions do not happen
- HCP intervention has to be structured and regular for maintaining continuous patient glycemic control.
- Need of a Support to enhance a diabetes care program that aims to educate people about their condition, an instrument for objective feedback on the impact of daily lifestyle habits, special situations (illness, stress) and medication on glucose levels, and thereby to foster
- Self-management and empower the individual to make the necessary changes
- Support to the healthcare team in providing individually tailored advice about lifestyle components and blood glucose-lowering medication.
He ended his presentation by stating, "Technology enabled platforms can help address the issue of rising uncontrolled diabetics through continuous monitoring and tracking."
Dr. Pradeep Talwalkar was followed by Dr. Alok Modi who spoke about 'Digital Diabetes Clinic – A Reality'. Dr. Modi, through evidence provided by clinical studies, opined that digital diabetes clinic is not only a possibility but also a necessity in better intervention by HCPs in management of diabetes.
Dr. Vivek Raskar presented the audience with real world data on how the use of Life In Control app helped in better diabetes care. Dr. Raskar showed the audience, through numerous case studies, how Life In Control app helped doctors providing correct intervention to their patients. He also demonstrated how blood glucose was stabilized for many patients when they started logging in and adhering to the care plans.
The conference continued and the doctors in attendance volunteered to take the Life In Control sponsored Certification Program on Managing a Digital Diabetes Clinic. This was followed by Certificate Distribution – the enthusiasm with which the certificates were received was palpable!
And thus ended a fruitful conference – with majority of doctors signing up with Life In Control. You can also attend our conferences. Our next conference is in South Mumbai. We would love to see you at the conference and take your feedback.

Friday is for Fairytales: The Swineherd
Friday is for Fairytales is a meme hosted by Irena (me) at This Miss loves to Read. Every Friday, you can choose a fairytale you love, or simply find interesting or haunting, and review it or simply say why you like it so much, or why it has captured your attention. Instead of a fairytale, you can choose a favourite fairytale character and describe him/her and tell us why you like them, or you can simply share an experience connected to a fairytale. Fairytales can be old and modern, written by a known author or anonymous, written down or passed on orally, short or in novel form (like re-writings of fairytales), international or typical for your country alone. In this case, present your country's fairytale and we can all become acquainted with a new fairytale. So, make a post every Friday that is connected to the world of fairytales, be it a review, a character description or your own fairytale experience. Let's celebrate fairytales and share our love for them.
MY POST IS ABOUT: "The Swineherd" by Hans Christian Andersen
Hans Christian Andersen is my favourite author of fairy-tales and his fairy-tale The Swineherd is one of my favourite ones by Andersen.
This is basically a story about a prince who dresses himself as a swineherd to court an arrogant princess who is an Emperor's daughter. He had sent her beautiful gifts, a nightingale and a rose, but they were too humble for her taste, so she rejected them. And so, the prince came to the castle dressed as a swineherd and begins to work at the palace. There, he creates a musical pot. The princess comes to his hut and pays ten kisses for the pot. When he creates a musical rattle, she pays a hundred kisses for it. The emperor is disgusted when he finds out that his daughter kissed a swineherd to beget those objects. He casts her out of the palace. Then, the prince shows himself to her as he truly is, clean and royal, and he rejects her like her father did. The princess is left outside the palace door, singing sadly.
Revenge is sweet.;)
I like this fairy-tale so much because it has some emotional value for me. The thin book containing only this fairy-tale was bought for me by my grandparents and it had really lovely pictures in it. My mom would read the fairy-tale to me almost every evening (it was either this one or Cinderella) and we invented alternate versions to it. That was fun! So, the fairy-tale is really delightful, but what makes it so special to me are the nice memories.
As an adult, I see that it has a good moral, too. The princess was too snobbish and haughty and she deserved to be humiliated in the end. Perhaps her father's throwing her out of the palace for kissing a swineherd is a bit over the top, but she deserved to receive a wake-up call. You will be treated by others the way you treat them. It's simple and easy, and very true.
When we moved to another city, the booklet got lost, sadly. But, I still have my memories and I can read this fairy-tale whenever I want to in my collection of Andersen's fairy-tales.

I'm not familiar with this story at all; it kind of reminds me of the Brothers Grimm story King Thrushbeard although that one has a happier ending. I will need to search this one out.

I have never read this particular fairy-tale, very interesting.

It's a cute story, not very long. Hehe, funny, I am not familiar with that particular Grimm story. I have to check out King Thrushbeard.

I do feel sorry for the princess, especially when her dad kicked her out when he surely spoiled her rotten and made her like that

I was going back and realized that, while not an inveterate selfie taker, I do have some shots of me that aren't, you know, bad. Mostly they are like this: back to the camera and off in the near distance to provide a sense of scale or as random figure. I was going to gather them all together and do a series, but this was the only one I managed to collect and export before forgetting all about it. It might be the last, too. Or not. This is me at Waterton Lakes National Park at Sunset.

So. Huddled in a corner on the couch on a Friday night. All I need now is a snack and some wine and life would be perfect. To be honest, I could quite happily go to bed now. Instead we'll watch Graham Norton and the next thing it will be 11pm. The story of my life.
When I arrived home today the girls were already in the bath and I run down the passage to take over and they promptly dismissed me, preferring that the Domestic Goddess bath them. Gmpf.
Then Etienne shows me this:
Apparently they sent cookies home for Mothers Day from school. They were finished by the time Etienne managed to get the kids to the car. Typical.
At the table tonight everyone is talking/laughing/whining/messing as usual and Isabel pipes up: 'Mom, Daddy bought you a DVD today!' Followed by an uncomfortable little silence. And Etienne shaking his head.
We then have a conversation about 'Who ate Mommy's cookies' and Daniel says 'But Daddy also has one in his tummy!' He claims that he was forced to eat one. Right.
All this whilst trying to keep Mignon off my lap so I can have my supper.
Just a usual Friday night…

Richardson, TXHome Menu
Private Creek Maintenance
Creek maintenance preserves property, aids drainage
Creeks enhance the beauty and enjoyment of many Richardson neighborhoods and play a vital role to convey stormwater drainage to prevent flooding. Creeks that are not maintained regularly become overgrown with weeds, collect brush and trash, and become obstructed and unattractive. This can increase the risk of flooding and cause other problems that will diminish the use and enjoyment of your property (poison ivy, stagnant water, nesting areas for unwanted animals to name a few). If your property has a creek or a waterway adjacent to it or flowing through it, you are responsible for the regular maintenance of that area to preserve its drainage function and to preserve and enhance the enjoyment of your property and neighborhood integrity.
Guidelines for creek maintenance
- Trees, brush and wood debris
Remove fallen trees, brush and tree limbs from the creek since they catch trash and cause stagnant water and sediment to build up. This can act as a breeding ground for mosquitoes and block the natural flow of the creek, which can lead to flooding.
- Debris, trash and litter
Storm runoff may deposit trash or litter in the drainage way. Regular removal of litter will help maintain the creek's natural appearance, improve water quality and deter the presence of rodents and other animals.
- Slope protection
Non-maintained creeks can lead to the erosion of the creek bank, which can damage and negatively impact the value of your property. Any slope stabilization measures that are in place, such as retaining walls, should be inspected at least twice a year and repaired promptly at the first sign of any damage or erosion. This will save you money and preserve your property in the long run.
- Maintain planted ground cover in the creek area
The root systems of established grasses and plants should be left in place as they help stabilize the soil and prevent slope erosion. Ground cover and other vegetation should be kept trimmed to prevent over growth and promote strong roots. Do not clear the creek slopes to bare ground, and replace grasses and ground cover that is lost during high flow.
Use BABIC service for clean up
The City can pick up trees, debris and bulky items removed from the creek, through the Brush and Bulky Item Collection (BABIC) service. BABIC is offered to Richardson residents at no additional charge and is designed to help residents dispose of large amounts of brush or oversized items that cannot be placed out for regular trash collection.
A resident's BABIC day is the same as their recycling day, and residents are asked to request brush or bulky item collection service prior to placing an item between the sidewalk and the street curb for collection. BABIC service can be requested by:
- Calling 972-744-4111
- Using the MyRichardson App
- Visiting www.cor.net/babic
Need help with maintenance?
For more information on maintaining creeks, including information about erosion protection, permits required for improvements near the creek and a list of companies offering maintenance, contact the Richardson Engineering Department at 972-744-4280.

Naturopaths draw on medicines from nature to promote healing within the body.

Our particular specialties are PCOS, endometriosis, thyroid conditions, digestive issues, autoimmune disease, and chronic and complex conditions. Between our 5 Naturopaths, there is over 45 years of experience and there isn't much they haven't come across.

What happens when you see a Shift naturopath?
On your first visit, our naturopaths will take a journey through your full health history to look for the cause of your problems. By treating the cause you get deep and long-lasting results – leaving you feeling better for longer!
Your treatment plan will be made based on your individual needs – no two are the same! This means that the medicines you receive are targeted to your exact issue, allowing changes to be made much faster. Most patients report a significant change in at least some symptoms within the first 2 weeks of treatment.
Shift at Brisbane Natural Health's naturopathic experts also use iridology (the study of the iris of the eye), tongue and nail analysis to get a better picture of your complete health. Blood and other testing are also useful – so, bring in copies if you have them. Katherine, Nicole, Shelia, Iwa or Gemma may order further testing depending on your individual case – this can include functional pathology or conventional blood testing.

I recently had the opportunity to tour Michigan's Upper Peninsula (commonly called "The U.P." or "Upper Michigan") for the first time. It is a large, mostly forested expanse with a fairly light population density. The region measures 16,377 square miles–nearly twice the size of New Jersey. It is known for mosquitoes in the summer months and brutal cold and deep snow in the winter months. The folks there seem friendly and predominantly conservative. The only disappointments were seeing the scarcity of home vegetable gardens (and greenhouses), the scarcity of livestock, and seeing not nearly as much commercial row crop agriculture as I had expected. Together, these factors make the region less suitable for self-sufficiency in the event of a grid-down collapse. – JWR

How to Make Finishing Your Basement a Better InvestmentHomeownership
If you have a basement in your home, you may be sitting on a small gold mine. Finished basements not only add usable space to your home, they also can add a tremendous amount of value if you're looking to sell again. When finishing your basement, there are some things to keep in mind to help make sure the work you do makes it the best investment possible.
Take Care of Any Water Issues
Because they are below ground, basements often wind up with water in them during heavy rains. Even if you have just a minor water issue in your basement, you should make sure it is fixed before doing any major remodeling and you should consider using Water Resistant Flooring Adhesive next time to ensure your floors don't get any water damage. Once you have installed drywall and carpet, it can be very costly to remove them to deal with a water leak. However, if you were to Click here, you'd know that that a better option than stripping it out of the floor would be to merely clean them.
Floods are also very common in basements, especially if the plumbing is in bad condition. To avoid these problems, you should contact this basement waterproofing company for their services.
Test for Radon
Radon is an odorless, colorless gas that is naturally present below ground in many parts of the U.S. and long-term exposure to radon can cause lung cancer and other health problems. If you plan to remodel your basement into usable space, it's a good idea to test for radon before starting work. If you have radon levels above recommended levels, you can have a radon mitigation installed.
Have a Plan
When remodeling your basement space, it is good to come up with a plan for what you want to do and what you can afford. Installing drywall to rooms and adding carpet is much more affordable than installing plumbing for a bathroom or making cutouts for windows. On the other hand, adding a bathroom and adding windows can increase the value of your renovations.
Make Sure Renovations Are up to Code
It's very tempting, especially in a space like a basement, to do renovations yourself to save money, such as installing a plumbing vent, so if you want to know What is a plumbing vent you can go online to find if is the right option for you. While this can be much less expensive, it also can devalue the work. It's best to have licensed contractors do the work, especially a basement foundation repair, you don't want to do something like that yourself. You would want to hire a plumbing company to install any plumbing, and an electrical company should install and repair electrical systems like your telephone, multimedia and data wiring. Also pay attention to code requirements. For example, for a basement bedroom to meet code as a bedroom, it must have a closet and an egress window.
Finishing your basement can add a significant amount of value to your home, but only if you do it right. Treat such renovations as you would to your kitchen or any other room above ground. The more care you take with your basement renovations, the more enjoyable and valuable they will be.

I was not sure what to expect from Karelia's new release, which due out in stores on May 30th, 2005. As I listen from track to track this is an amazing release. Vocally Matthieu Kleiber shines; Erwin Morice guitar work is outstanding, Loïc Jenn drumming is superb, Bertrand Maiillot keyboards are heavenly, and Gilles Thiebaut does an excellent job on bass. "Raise," the first track on the CD, is slow paced with choir-like background vocals. "Child Has Gone" has the feeling of NIN until the keyboards enter. This is an outstanding track.
This is my first time hearing Karelia. All aspects of the music are mesmerizing. Arrangement are top notch, lyric's are over the top. What a CD!!! "The Hermit" I felt like I was reaching the promise land. "Unbreakable Cordon" is a melodic ballad - come on... get those lighters out - FANTASTIC!
There is not much I can say about "Raise" except that it is phenomenal! From track one to ten, it was a true pleasure to listen to. If you're a Power Metal / Symphonic Metal fan, make this CD a priority. The future looks bright for Karelia.

As we continue to track Amazon's healthcare efforts, we are seeing two new healthcare-related Amazon Exclusive "Our Brands" now live on Amazon.com.
The first is Healthwise, which currently only lists one product for sale, the HealthWise Maximum Strength Pain Relief 4% Lidocaine Patch. We are not totally clear on who is making this Healthwise brand as there are multiple other Healthwise brands out there – one possibility is this Healthwise that makes dietary supplements, but we're not yet sure.
The second is EverOne, which is currently selling this first aid EverOne Instant Cold Pack, in addition to several nitrile gloves. The item is launching with several Vine reviews. Based on trademark records, EverOne appears to be produced by Brooklyn-based EverReady First Aid, a maker of first aid kids for industrial, commercial, residential, and military use.
Healthwise joins other OTC medicine Amazon "Our Brands" including Basic Care (Perrigo), SoundHealth (Bestco), Wellness Basics (PL Developments), and Primary Health (Aurohealth), whose launch we identified in November. EverOne joins SimplySafe and SupplyMaster as Amazon Exclusive brands selling nitrile gloves under Amazon's "Our Brands" program.
Both Healthwise and EverOne have been added to the TJI Amazon Brand Database. For more, subscribe to the TJI Briefing.
