Faith, belief and superstition
- Article written by: Matthew Shaw
- Theme: Life as a soldier
- Published: 29 Jan 2014
The experience of the war also shaped people's belief. For some, the futility and brutality of the lethal conflict destroyed any vestige of faith, while others found refuge in their religion. Often, the pain of war altered, but did not erase, faith. Letters from Punjabi Muslim soldiers reveal that they wrote home, asking for people in India to save them and 'that He may stop this calamity'. Superstition was also rife in the trenches, with lucky charms or routines offering some small measure of comfort and control at a time when life and death seemed random and out of control. For those on the Home Front, and for the survivors and the bereaved after the war, contact with the afterlife offered some gleam of comfort. Organised religion attempted to rise to the challenge of the war, and tried to meet the social challenges of demobilisation, economic depression and political strife that accompanied the war and its aftermath.
Organised religion
Although some organisations, such as the Society of Friends (often known as the Quakers) condemned the war, most faith groups gave their support, justifying the cause in sermons and organising services offering prayers for those with the forces. The European armies often had a close relationship to the established church, and also appointed chaplains (including a small number of Jewish rabbis) to serve the spiritual needs of those in service. Christian padres offered communion to men at the Front and behind the lines, and attempted to give some form of pastoral care.
Other religious organisations offered support in any number of ways, including tracts sent to the soldiers by groups promoting all variants of faith: Anglo-Catholic reflections, evangelical prayerbooks for study groups, and Qu'rans. More esoteric thinkers found that it was their moment to publish warnings of the end of the world, the need to repent or a whole host of spiritual-related speculations.
More practically, religious orders offered medical care, while women's groups organised care packages and other philanthropic works.
Superstition and fatalism
It is hard for historians to measure, or even define, what faith meant for the men at the Front. For societies deeply infused with religious tradition and practices, it seems only natural that religious symbols were called upon during the intense experiences of industrialised war. Stories of angels aiding wounded soldiers quickly took root in the popular imagination – at home as well as at the Front (and were aided by a press looking for such stories). The destruction of churches in northern France and Belgium also took on special significance, revealing an attack on civilisation by a barbarous enemy, and seeming emblematic of a hellish, fallen world. Images of such destruction were reproduced countless times in postcards and photographic mementos.
Many contemporaries noted that fatalism was more help than the comforts of organised religion. Death and mutilation struck randomly. Faced with the uncertainty and fear of bullets and, especially, artillery bombardments, troops repeated the fatalistic mantra 'If your name is on the shell you will get it'. The fatalism evident in Edward FitzGerald's translation, the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, had a vogue among some of the officer class. Traditional faith also still had its place. A Sikh soldier wrote home from the Brighton recuperation hospital with the thought that 'God alone directs events' (and noted he was drinking tea as an 'amrat': a way to 'to purge away all sin'). Mass was received more regularly closer to the Front than behind, and soldiers still prayed under fire or at times of stress.
For many, church and patriotism were closely linked, and many early volunteers were churchgoers convinced by the justness of the cause. When the United States joined the war in 1917, many of its soldiers were fired up by what they believed was the righteousness of their cause – a belief in liberty and progress – a view, it is suggested by recent research, that continued to influence many after their return to America. For many, ideas of patriotism, comradeship, and home and country were bound up with the teaching of their faith.
The Home Front
Trench religion has attracted the attentions of most researchers, but historians are beginning to understand more about religion on the Home Front. The picture was a complex one, which is only partly revealed by the statistics. In Britain, refugees and colonial labourers increased the numbers of those practicing the Catholic, Jewish and Islamic faiths. Figures for adult communicants, who stood at a little under a third of the adult population, fell slightly during the war (by around 6%) after an initial surge in the early weeks of the conflict. However, numbers of Anglican worshippers increased slightly for a few years at the end of the war, as did those of Roman Catholics and the Free Church. Methodism declined. The trends seem to continue the gradual pre-war decline in religious observance, as communities were disrupted by industrial and social change, population growth was unmatched by expansion of religious institutions and personnel, and intellectual culture shifted towards a more secular world view.
This said, national governments remained closely linked to the established churches. In Britain, the government enquired into to the extent to which the Anglican Church had offered pastoral and spiritual care, while in France, the new government restored its relationship with the Vatican, and the newly-acquired territory of Alsace-Lorraine was allowed to retain Catholic influence in schools. The feast day of Joan of Arc, who was canonised by the Roman Catholic Church in 1920, obtained the status of a national festival. Birth control was made illegal, combining the patriotic need to repopulate French soil with Catholic teaching on contraception.
Away from politics, the search for mystical or religious explanations led to a heightened interest in a host of practices that fell outside established or non-conformist churches. With so many families mourning fathers, brothers or sons, the chance of some communication with the afterlife led to a dramatic rise in the popularity of Spiritualism.
Other forms of folk religion came to the fore, as populations attempted to cope with the terrible loss of life. Impromptu shrines were established in many towns and villages, and wives, mothers and other family members lit candles in the hope of good news, or in memory of those that they had recently lost. In Britain, many of these were later replaced by war memorials, listing the names of those who had died, transforming many public spaces into sites of mourning. Churches remained central to national acts of memorialisation, with services and parades forming the backbone of commemoration up and down the land and drawing on the religious language of sacrifice to perhaps give some sort of meaning to the years of struggle and loss.

Ahh! Finally getting around to leaving a comment to tell you, once again, how stunning you look in this dress and to send a big thanks your way for this post in general. It always makes me so happy to see my vintage in action!
On a related note, I was recently gifted a Bloomingdales gift certificate that instantly made me feel kind of anxious for the same reasons you've mentioned here. I couldn't bring myself to even go to their actual store, so I ended up shopping online & it STILL felt weird!

Healing Your Relationships, Session 2: Clearing, Healing, Acceptance, & Integration of Relationship to Self
Healing Your Relationships, Session 2: Clearing, Healing, Acceptance, & Integration of Relationship to Self
This is a digital audio product, and will be delivered to you in mp3 format via email immediately after purchase.
Everybody wants to have good relationships.
More relationships, letting certain relationships go, attracting friends, soulmates, or business contacts.
But few people realize that our relationships always reflect our inner vibration--how we truly relate to ourselves, to Source, and to Life.
Working with the power of Spirit, we can become more aware of our inner orientation to relationships, and we can clear and heal anything blocking us from connecting to others in the highest and best way intended for us.
In this 39-minute audio recording, we work with the power of Spirit to present a new view of possibility in relationship, and we work with clearing an additional important energy center of your body for attracting and sustaining higher-vibe relationships: your solar plexus chakra.
This is the second recording in a 3-part series, and we are working from a basic assumption in all 3 of these healings: Your relationship to Self--to God, to Being, to Live--truly is your relationship to others. As we clear one, we clear the other.
Join me in this journey of healing and clearing, and of opening up more fully and clearly to the One Relationship that defines all others.

5 Simple Techniques For Residential Roofing MaterialsSingly Ply Roof: Single-ply roofing, in contrast into a crafted up roof, makes use of a single layer of material. Lasting approximately thirty a long time, single-ply roofs could be made from a number of materials. Amid the commonest are EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer, a variety of rubber), PVC (polyvinyl chloride, a kind of plastic), and thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO, rubber strengthened for further defense from The weather). Modified bitumen is frequently utilized to be a dress in surface area in rubber flat roof construction. Sprayed Polyurethane Foam: Sprayed polyurethane foam (SPF) roofing is sprayed on to be a liquid directly about an existing roof, eradicating the need to take away the aged roof. Once the foam dries it really is dealt with by using a protective coat for extra functionality. SPF roofing is lightweight, versatile, and a very good insulator.

The objective of a ceiling will be to insulate versus warmth and chilly, sound, Dust and often in the droppings and lice of birds who routinely pick roofs as nesting spots.

In vernacular architecture, roofing material is usually vegetation, for instance thatches, the most tough currently being sea grass with a life of perhaps forty years.

- Ask Anything
Last week after my surgery, my sweet friend Abby Grace texted me and offered to curate some blog content for my blog since I physically can't blog like I used to. I've tried… but using "talk to text" takes forever because of the mixture of auto-correct and my southern accent!!! Most of you know that blogging has been the heartbeat of my business for years and years. I've blogged religiously every week since 2008 with only a few exceptions. Well, during the last two months, that all changed. Between doctors appointments, moving and finding out about my hand tumor and surgery, blogging just wasn't a priority. It couldn't be. Now I'm learning to function with one hand and I couldn't be more grateful for Abby and her willingness to help us create great posts for our audience!
Our first guest blogger is from our dear friend Jasmine Star! Jasmine photographed OUR WEDDING back in 2010 when we were 24 and 22 years old. We were babies!! She's been a source of wisdom, friendship and encouragement ever since and I'm so thankful for her!!! So enjoy this guest post from the ever-talented J-Star and be sure to follow both Abby and Jasmine on Insta and give them a virtual hug for being such sweet friends and helping us while I recover!
From Jasmine! Enjoy! :
I pushed open my bedroom door, dropped my bags to the floor, and flung myself onto my bed. Then cried into a decorative pillow.
Does this sound dramatic? Not yet? Well, I let out a big scream for good measure in case you're wondering just how crazy I am.
I had just started my photography business and I felt alone. So alone my bones ached. I didn't know how/where/when to start and after a misguided business decision left me $657 poorer that afternoon, I felt desperately lost (cue decorative pillow cry fest here).
I knew I needed a mentor, but I didn't know how to find one.
I reached out to a few candidates, but no one accepted my offer. Then I realized that my "offer" was all wrong. I needed to find a way to help THEM, far before they ever helped ME.
This video explains how I made that happen…
I encourage you to find ways to create VALUE and TRUST from those you hope be mentored by. Remember, you're uniquely qualified to share your gift and expertise, so step into the light.
Your time to shine has come.
Jasmine is so amazing!! :) Thanks for sharing!!
Great tip! Now I'm wondering what and when could I offer something for Katelyn James or Jasmine Star…;)
I love both Abby and Jasmine and discovered both of them because of your blog! I'm so glad they're helping you out with guest posts! Also, I totally laughed out loud about your talk to text comment…it never understands my Southern accent either! Hope you're healing well after your surgery! <3
This is such a good wedding photography and business article !
Such the great blog here i love it must be people have to need to use the windows audio device online for fix pconnections to bluetooth audio devices and wireless display here and have to full way of best communication online.

WASHINGTON – Gallaudet University alum and former Bison student-athlete Kevin Kovacs has been selected as the new men's basketball head coach as announced by Athletic Director Michael Weinstock. Kovacs will begin his new duties on August 17.
"It is great to welcome Kevin back to the Gallaudet community. I love his energy and motivation that he will bring to our men's basketball program," said Weinstock. "I have watched him coach, several times, I am impressed with how he manages the game. He has an excellent basketball IQ. Plus, his character fits the NCAA Division III philosophy that we embrace here."
Kovacs arrives to Gallaudet from California School for the Deaf-Fremont where he was Athletic Director for eight years (2007-15) and served as the boys' basketball head coach the past two seasons. He was named Coach of the Year after California School for the Deaf-Fremont won the North Coast section title in 2014.
"It is a tremendous honor to come back to a wonderful place like Gallaudet University and lead the men's basketball program. I truly am excited about the opportunity to work with the student-athletes and help them chase their dreams and goals," said Kovacs.
Recently, he served as an assistant coach on the USA Deaf Basketball men's team that earned a silver medal at the 2015 World Deaf Basketball Championships in Taoyuan, Taiwan, held from July 4-12. There he had a chance to coach and interact with current and former Bison student-athletes.
"My international coaching experience has been great. It has allowed us to work together as a nation as opposed to a school or club," said Kovacs. "Our experience in Taiwan will definitely help us down the road as we work hard towards our goal in bringing back the gold at the 2017 Deaflympics in Samsun, Turkey."
Kovacs inherits a Gallaudet men's basketball team coming off its best season in school history where the Bison set a school record for wins (18), conference wins (14) and broke a 98-year-old school mark for consecutive wins with 10. The Bison went 18-7 and advanced to the North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) quarterfinals. Kovacs takes over for former head coach Brendan Stern, who stepped down after three seasons to accept a full-time tenure-track position at Gallaudet.
"Coach Stern and his assistant obviously did a tremendous job last year. Our goal will be to build on the success from last season," said Kovacs. "The goal will be to outwork everyone to give ourselves the chance to be the first-ever Gallaudet men's basketball team to make the NCAA tournament. I know that is a lofty goal but I think these young men deserve that opportunity to achieve that goal."
Kovacs graduated from Gallaudet in 1995 with a bachelor's degree in government and secondary education. Two years later, he earned his master's in deaf education. As an undergraduate he played one season for the Gallaudet men's basketball team in 1994-95. He served as a Gallaudet men's basketball assistant coach for two seasons (1995-97).
"It means a lot to come back to the University that I love and once played and coached for," said Kovacs. "Gallaudet is certainly a one of a kind that no other University in the world can match. If it were not for my experiences at Gallaudet University as a student-athlete, I can promise that I would not be here today."
Prior to working at California School for the Deaf-Fremont, Kovacs worked as an elementary teacher and after school coordinator at the Metro Deaf School in St. Paul, Minn., from 1997-2007. He worked as a high school social studies teacher and athletic director at Metro Deaf School during 2006-07. Kovacs has also coached boys' and girls' basketball at various levels (elementary, middle, high school) from 1997 to present.
Kovacs is married to Estella Bustamante, who graduated from Gallaudet in 1991, and they have two children (Esteban and Estelina). The Kovacs family has quite the legacy at Gallaudet as Kevin's brothers Jon '99 and Ty '00 and sister Dyan '98 along with their mother, Susan Kovacs-Bahl '97, attended and graduated from GU. Dyan Kovacs is a member of the Gallaudet University Athletics Hall of Fame as she was inducted in 2014 for her outstanding women's volleyball career.

Bunions are a common and progressive deformity caused by a structural abnormality in the foot. Over time, they appear as an increasingly large bump on the side of the foot or at the base of the big toe. Early bunions cause no symptoms, according to the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons, but as the condition progresses, pain, inflammation, burning and numbness typically develop. Treatment is with lifestyle modifications and over-the-counter medications. Surgery is only recommended when a bunion causes significant pain or interferes with daily functioning.
Step 1
Change your shoes. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons recommends shoes with broad toes, wide insteps and soft soles. Never wear shoes that are too small, and check your shoe size every few years to make certain a size adjustment is not needed. Avoid wearing high heels and shoes with pointed toes, as both can cause or worsen bunions.
Step 2
Place pads over your bunion to ease pain and reduce pressure on the affected joint. Bunion pads are available at most pharmacies and retail stores.
Step 3
Rest your feet often throughout the day, especially if you spend a lot of time standing. Standing puts pressure on your bunion, increasing pain and inflammation. Whenever possible, sit down for 10 or 15 minutes and take your shoes off.
Step 4
Take over-the-counter non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, such as naproxen or ibuprofen, as needed. These medications will reduce inflammation and minimize pain. Prescription medications are available if over-the-counter drugs are not strong enough to control your pain.
Step 5
Apply an ice pack to your bunion several times throughout the day. Icing your foot will reduce pain and swelling, according to the Mayo Clinic.
Step 6
Undergo injections of corticosteroids if your bursa is inflamed. The bursa is a fluid-filled sac that surrounds and protects your joint. The American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons states that corticosteroid injections are not always necessary or recommended for bunions.
Things You'll Need

Here are some newspaper stories published this week in years past:
25 years ago
"Lake Oroville rose 29 feet over weekend"
Area lakes rose substantially this weekend from runoff from a Friday night and Saturday morning storm, which dumped 3 inches of rain on Paradise and almost 11/2 inches on Chico.
Lake Oroville this morning was at 815 feet, just under 85 feet from the crest of the dam — up 29 feet from Friday morning. …
Water inflow in Shasta Lake was at almost 43,000 cubic feet per second this morning, while inflow into Oroville was at 24,000 cfs.
The weekend storm dropped just under an inch of rain on Oroville, Gridley, Willows and Orland.
Mid-Valley area residents will get a chance to dry out today and Tuesday … but a return of sporadic rain or showers is expected Wednesday through Friday.

"Last Graduation: End Near for County"s Oldest School"
Butte County"s oldest school will graduate its last class this year. The old Bidwell School will be flooded by Oroville Dam.
The present student body of 14 students and one dog will be the last before closing of the school inaugurated in 1953.
Mrs. Helen Allen of Biggs, who taught here for 23 years, said the children will attend classes at the Berry Creek School next fall.
She said the Butte County Historical Society is working to have the building moved to preserve it for its historic value. A reunion will be held in conjunction with the June graduation to bring together graduates of the school.
George Cameron pleaded this week for the return of the school"s bronze bell, which has names of many students carved with penknives on the inside …
The last class consists of Gary Blaylock, Robert Fisher, Kenneth Dale Blaylock, Stan Fisher, Billie Ray Bennett, Edith Lowman, Terry Fisher, Larry Bruis, Kitty Fisher, Mary Jo Bradley, Donna and Patty Tisserand and Melodie Bennett, plus Yogie, the dog.
Yogie shows up like the students, but observes summer vacation. It was not known whether he will transfer to the Berry Creek School next year.

"Dog Knows Days of Week"
Dogs of various breeds have shown intelligence that have been the source of prolific writing from all quarters of the globe, but it remains for a Belgian shepherd dog, "Don," owned by Frank C. Wilson of the Neal Road above Paradise to spring a new one.
"Don" can tell the days of the week. For the last four years Don has taken on the special duty of going out to the road to bring in the Enterprise delivered every evening except Sunday.
As the time approaches for the paper delivery, Don starts out to the road and if for any reason the paper is late, shows marked uneasiness.
But, come Sunday, Don exhibits no interest nor uneasiness whatsoever. He has learned that there is no delivery on Sunday, believe it or not.

"Railroad Gets Permits For 19 New Spur Tracks"
The first official step in connection with the extended improvements contemplated in the Southern Pacific freight and passenger yards in Chico was taken last night by City Trustees at a meeting, when ordinance No. 141, granting a franchise to make track improvements to the railroad, was read. …
The railroad will construct and maintain 19 spur tracks to expedite handling freight and accommodate railroad patronage. Six tracks will cross First Street, and the stockyards at the end of First Street will be removed, opening Orange Street again to public travel. The A.G. Eames storerooms and one E.T. Reynolds building will have to be removed.

ONGC is an Indian oil exploration company majority owned by government of India, i.e. it's a PSU. As a stock, it has a very long history of dividends. It's a company with solid business model and has highly reliable cashflows. If you are an Indian investor focusing on dividends, it would be strange if you do not hold shares of ONGC. Ask anyone to name few great Indian companies which have paid generous dividends. We can bet that ONGC would definitely figure in such a list. We ourselves have chosen it for our Dead Monk's Portfolio. We personally hold ONGC and another oil explorer Cairn Indiaas long term investments.
This post is about ONGC's dividends, frequency of payouts, payout ratios and all related information.
Why are we doing this? As already mentioned, we hold ONGC in our long term portfolio for primary purpose of dividend income. We are doing this to reaffirm our faith in ONGC of being a good dividend stock to hold for years to come. J As far as capital appreciation is concerned, we believe Cairn India is a better stock in oil sector.
Dividend Rate (%)
ONGC is known to be a regular dividend payer and this notion is validated by data. It has been consistently paying dividends for more than 10 years. The table below shows the dividend rates (as % of face value). The great thing is that the dividends have been continuously increasing during the last 5 years.
|ONGC's Dividend Rates (%) : Last 10 years
Dividend Payout Ratio (%)
A company with high dividend payout ratio can mean two things: Either the company has no future investment plans OR high dividend payouts are temporary (due to some asset sale) and hence not sustainable. ONGC for last 10 years (!) has maintained a very stable payout ratio of 40% i.e. it shares 40% of its earnings with investors as dividends. This shows that company is balancing its growth (investment) plans and wealth sharing objective on a consistent basis.
|ONGC's Dividend Payout Ratio : Last 10 years
Dividend Policy
Company's dividend policy (available on its website) has the following 2 highlights:
- Factors to consider while deciding dividends: Future capital expenditure plans, profits earned during the financial year, cost of raising funds from alternate sources, cash flow position and applicable taxes including tax on dividends.
- As per govt.'s guidelines, all profit-making PSUs in oil sector (like ONGC) should declare the higher of a minimum dividend of 30 % on equity or a minimum dividend payout of 30 % of post-tax profit.
Since company has maintained 40% payout ratio for last 10 years, it is safe to assume that same would be maintained in future too. Since great companies generally increase their earnings over years, it can be safely assumed that dividends would increase in years to come.
How many times ONGC pays dividend in a year?
In last 8 years, ONGC has paid dividends twice every year. Interim dividend (generally higher than final dividend)is paid in December. This is followed by Final Dividend paid in September. We have plotted all dividend payouts by ONGC in last 12 years. The same can be seen below. This dividend calendar is a good depiction of when (& how much) to expect as dividends from ONGC every year.
|Click to enlarge
Though we haven't discussed ONGC's future business prospects, we believe that being a mature company with ageing oil fields (except those owned by its subsidiaries ONGC Videsh Ltd), it would be wrong to expect it to become a multi-bagger in years to come. But what can be expected is a stable flow of dividend income, stability in portfolio and potential of positive surprises in case there are any bumper oil & gas discoveries.
All in all, we would stay invested in ONGC and keep investing as and when its prices fall substantially.
Disclosures: Hold Long term investments in ONGC, Cairn India.

So I was watching 60 Minutes last night (I can still hear that tick, tick, tick, tick, tick of the clock....and I am still amazed that Andy Rooney is still around!).
Their lead story was regarding internet viruses, particularly the Conficker virus that is supposedly just sitting dormant on many, many hosts waiting to be triggered.
There are rumors that this virus is going to be triggered on April 1st -- of course, April Fool's Day. Whether that happens or not remains to be seen. But it got me thinking......
Should Mac users be concerned?
From what Leslie Stahl was reporting on 60 minutes last night, all internet users should be freaking out about this virus. Maybe that is the case. I don't know, really. I thought this was primarily a Windows virus. But a Symantec VP in the 60 minutes piece thinks that Norton will be able to help all users.
So, are you Mac users running out and buying Norton AntiVirus for the Mac? Do you still think that Mac users don't need to be worried about anti-virus software?
I have a feeling I know where most people fall on this debate ;-)

Could these bumps on my forehead be molluscum?
I really think you should go to a dermatologist who is covered on your plan if you don't want to pay out of pocket for medical care. An accurate diagnosis is key and you will save yourself a lot of time and trouble in the long run by getting a correct diagnosis. It's highly unlikely that you have molluscum contagiosum persistent on your forehead unless you have a serious problem with your immune system. There are many other things that can cause bumps on the forehead that are far more likely unless you're five years old! Dr. I

Buyers Facing Less Competition From Cash Buyers
September 10, 2014
The percentage of cash sales fell to 33 percent of total home sales in June, marking the lowest share since September 2008, CoreLogic reports. A year ago, cash sales stood at 36.3 percent of the market; they have been falling steadily since January 2013.
Show Me the Money
Buyers Turn to Pre-Underwriting to Compete With Cash Buyers
Historically, cash sales make up about 25 percent of total home sales, according to data prior to the housing crisis. In 2011, cash sales peaked at 46.2 percent of sales nationwide, CoreLogic reports.
Buyers are using cash mostly to purchase real estate–owned properties, or REOs. Fifty-five percent of REOs are all-cash transactions, followed by nearly 33 percent of resales, about 32 percent of short sales, and 16 percent of newly built homes.
The following states had the largest share of cash sales in June, according to CoreLogic:
- Florida: 50.9%
- Alabama: 48.1%
- New York: 44.6%
- Kentucky: 40.1%
- Nevada: 40%
At a metro level, Cape Coral-Fort Myers, Fla., had the highest number of cash sales at 61.2 percent in June. On the other hand, Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md. had the lowest share of cash sales at 15.6 percent, among the 100 metros tracked.

Vaginal vault prolapse is a type of pelvic organ prolapse that can
occur following surgical removal of the uterus (hysterectomy). When the top of
the vagina loses the support of the uterus, it often sags or drops into the
vaginal canal.
The amount of the drop in a vaginal vault prolapse can vary from a
slight sag into the vaginal canal to a complete drop, where the top of the
vagina bulges outside of the vaginal opening.
Most women with a vaginal vault prolapse will also have bulging of
the small bowel (enterocele) into the vagina. Other bladder and bowel problems,
such as urinary incontinence and constipation, are likely to occur with vaginal
vault prolapse.
Vaginal vault prolapse may be treated with a special device that
holds the vagina in place (vaginal pessary). Surgery sometimes is needed to
repair vaginal vault prolapse.

Service at fast-food drive-thrus is slower than ever, according to new study.
Customers' average wait time is now 220 seconds, up from 181 seconds last year, the study by QSR Magazine found. That's the slowest service time in the 17 years that QSR has been conducting the study.
To be fair, QSR expanded its research from seven chains last year to 23 this year. But "the numbers this year were still telling," writes Sam Oches, the editor of QSR.
"Speed used to be a badge of honour for many chains," he writes. "Faster service means happier customers and more cars through the line, both of which can boost perception and sales."
But service times are now suffering because many fast-food chains, in an effort to stem widespread traffic declines, have been rapidly expanding their menus, which slows down workers.
McDonald's executives have acknowledged the adverse effects of their expanded menu on service times. The chain announced plans last year to add a third window to its drive-thru lanes to address complaints about service times.
The company also launched a limited one-minute guarantee program for lunchtime customers at McDonald's locations in South Florida this summer. If customers' food wasn't ready within one minute of ordering, they would be awarded a coupon for a free lunch item.
Taco Bell has also been expanding its offerings, adding a premium Cantina Bell menu in 2012 and launching a breakfast menu this year.
"Consumer needs are changing rapidly," Taco Bell chief operating officer Mike Grams told QSR. "There are going to be more complex products coming in, and we just have to change our training methods, our engagement plans in the restaurant, and how we approach them so that we can execute and still be relatively at a good speed that customers are going to be comfortable with."

When you put competent people in charge and let them do what they know how to do, you get a healthy-looking tax return like the one the United States Olympic Committee made public on Monday morning. Let's face it. Tax returns are, in the main, boring documents. They're black-and-white and full of rows and columns and numbers.
Basically, journalists like to comb through them and pick out salary numbers and go, aha! Look how much money so-and-so made! That's because, as a rule, journalists don't make anywhere near as much money as the so-and-so's we report on even though we are just as smart as they are, if not smarter (we like to think), and but for our career choices we could be making as much money or more as those so-and-so's if we had only listened to our mothers. As usual, our mothers were right.
Honestly, that whole process is kind of tired.
What's way more interesting is a macro view of the document, which is formally known as a Form 990. The U.S. government makes an institution like the USOC file it once a year. It comes out every spring.
What this year's version tells you is that, even in a bummer of an economy, the USOC, under the profoundly competent leadership of chief executive Scott Blackmun, and a board of directors led by Larry Probst, is trending in all the right directions. Kudos to them and to the marketing efforts of Lisa Baird and branding efforts of Peter Zeytoonjian.
Revenue (page 10): $250.6 million.
Against expenses (page 11): $191.6 million.
A reminder for any and all who are not familiar with the essential principle of the USOC's financial life. Virtually every other national Olympic committee in the world is supported by its own federal government. Not the USOC. By order of the U.S. Congress, the USOC must be self-supporting. Every dime, every dollar -- everything -- it gets, it must generate on its own initiative.
Back to the form:
As compared to his predecessor, Stephanie Streeter, Blackmun's compensation is down 49 percent (page 53, and the prior year's Form 990).
Total salaries paid to the chief executive, the chief operating offer, the chief financial officer, the chief marketing officer and the general counsel, as compared to the 2009 totals: down 23 percent (page 53, and the prior year's Form 990).
Same group's total compensation: down 42 percent in 2010 from 2009 (again, page 53, and the prior year's Form 990).
For purposes of this discussion, there is a key difference between salary and total compensation, meaning the full package that includes benefits such as insurance and in some cases relocation assistance.
A couple other notes:
Of the top five independent contractors, three were direct mail companies (page 8). In our internet era, one wonders how much longer that will continue to be the case.
The single largest contributor to the USOC? Logically enough, the city of Colorado Springs, Colo., where the USOC is based ($19.75 million, page 21). The USOC, of course, has moved into a new headquarters building in downtown Colorado Springs.
USA Track & Field got a $4.4 million grant. Lots of national governing bodies get grants -- that's the way the system works. It makes sense that USATF gets the most money, far and away, because it's the glamor sport of the Summer Games. (U.S. Ski & Snowboard, which rules the Winter Games, justifiably got the second-most, about $3.87 million.) Here's a thought: For $4.4 million, the American relay teams had really better learn to hold on to the batons in London in 2012. There's no excuse.
Just a thought to close. It is indeed the case that $250 million is a lot of money. What, one wonders, do you think the number is on the revenue column at the Chinese Olympic Committee's annual report?
It would be fantastic if Beijing -- and for that matter, every national Olympic committee around the world -- made these same sorts of facts and figures publicly available, wouldn't it?

Sources say, the Commission- headed by Telecom Secretary JS Deepak - will decide on moving to a flat spectrum user charge of 4.5 percent for all telcos from the present weighted average formula by which telcos pay between 3 to 8 percent as charges.
Spectrum user charges are annual payments made by telcos as a percentage of revenues; for using their spectrum holdings.
The weighted average mechanism came into effect in January 2014; ahead of the auctions that took place in February 2014.
The change in policy stance will positively impact incumbents like Bharti Airtel, Vodafone and Idea that pay much higher SUC than the proposed. flat rate of 4.5%.
The Commission will also decide on removal of 1% SUC for BWA companies like Rel Jio and Bharti Airtel. The move is likely to be seen positively by incumbents that have all along questioned lower SUC for BWA players like Rel Jio.
Telecom Commission will also decide on pricing of spectrum for bands that will be put up for auction and payment schedule. The proposed payment schedule is upfront payment of 10percent, followed by 18 instalments in which telcos can pay for spectrum acquired in the upcoming auction.
