Distrust of Hospitals May Deter Black Blood Donors: Study
FRIDAY, Sept. 10 (HealthDay News) -- Significant distrust of the health-care system is a major reason why black Americans donate blood at lower rates than whites, says a new study.
Researchers at the New York Blood Center in New York City analyzed the responses of 930 black participants in Atlanta who completed an 81-question survey.
The results showed that 17 percent of the participants do not trust hospitals. This lack of trust was associated with not donating blood, lack of knowledge about the blood supply, and not wanting to take part in research.
Respondents who said they did trust hospitals were less reluctant to donate blood, knew more about the blood supply, and were more likely to respond to the blood needs of the community.
The study was published Sept. 10 in the journal Transfusion.
"Blood centers and hospitals need to build trust with the African American community," study leader Dr. Beth H. Shaz, chief medical officer of the New York Blood Center, said in a journal news release. "Increased trust will result in increased blood donor rates, increased participation in research, and increased medical knowledge."

Guide to switching gas supplier
Changing to a new energy provider is one of the fastest and easiest ways to reduce your monthly bills and outgoings. It's an amazingly simple process, as your current and future suppliers will basically sort everything out together.
So if you reckon you're paying over the odds for your gas and missing out on the best deals, do some research and find out what other gas suppliers can offer you.
Once you've chosen a new gas company, the rest is easy. There's no need to rummage around for old bills and statements, or even to tell your current gas supplier (your new provider will do that for you). You don't even need to fill in any forms or sign anything.
If you like the idea of switching to OVO
At OVO, we don't offer gas on its own. We can only provide gas as a dual fuel with electricity.
However, if you're thinking of switching both fuels, we'll be very happy to give you a quote. Here's what to do.
First, take a look at our range of energy plans. Next, visit our 'Get a quote' page and type in your postcode. We'll respond with a quote that's based on the average energy use of similar homes in your neighbourhood.
If like the look of our quote and want to go ahead with your switch, we'll simply need a couple more details – like your bank account number and sort code, as well as your house name or number so we've got your exact address. And we'll ask you to take a meter reading and send it to us.
Once that's done, you can forget about the switch and leave everything to us. We'll be in touch at intervals to let you know how your switch is progressing.
Is it always best to opt for the lowest quote?
If all you want to do is save money when you switch gas supplier, of course it makes sense to choose the most competitive quote. However, you may want to balance that with other priorities.
For instance, if you switch to OVO you could choose our Green Energy add-on, which is a little bit dearer than our other tariffs. However, if you want to make your contribution towards saving the planet, you might be happy to pay the extra.
Make sure you also check for hidden costs. For instance, some energy companies may charge exit or termination fees for leaving before the end of a contract.
So don't just pounce on the cheapest quote and sign up right away. Look into all the features and benefits of each plan before you make up your mind.
How do gas companies set their prices?
Gas suppliers base the prices they charge you on the costs they pay when buying and supplying your gas. National gas prices can rise and fall over the year, and they're influenced by a wide range of external factors. For example, overproduction can cause prices to fall, while adverse weather conditions could force a rise. Your gas supplier may or may not be affected, depending on where your gas comes from and how it's transported to you.
Most gas companies buy gas well in advance to try and lessen the effect of these external factors.
Will switching gas suppliers interrupt my gas supply?
No. Your gas won't need to switched off at any time during the switch, and changing gas suppliers won't cause any hiccups in your supply. The actual gas that heats your home and water won't change, and your new company will use the same pipes, meters and systems as your current gas supplier.
So the only difference you'll notice will be in your bank balance.

Septic Tank Empyting
Septic tanks do NOT provide treatment of sewage effluent but act as settlement tanks. Solids separate from effluent within the tank and are retained as a sludge. The septic water then flows out to a below ground soak away system.
Regular removal of this solid waste is important – let us supply you with a planned maintenance schedule to suit your individual requirements.
With years of experience you can rely on the skilful team here at Larkins to provide professional septic tank emptying, cleaning and maintenance. Usually it is recommended that septic tanks are emptied at least once a year but, depending on the type of system and the amount of water being treated, it may require emptying more often.
Without regular cleaning, sludge can build up, which could prevent treated water soaking away and cause bad smells and even overflows! So make sure you call in our expert team of septic tank technicians and we'll keep it clear and empty, helping to avoid any unnecessary, unpleasant side-effects.
Cesspool & Cesspit Emptying
A cesspit or cesspool is a sealed tank that captures all sewage effluent from the property and retains it. No soak away or treatment reduces the volume. This type of system is usually used in environmentally sensitive areas where there can be no discharges of effluent or soil type precludes the use of a septic tank.
The volume contained in a cesspool/cesspit is usually large and requires emptying more frequently. The frequency is dependent upon water usage within the property.
Here at Larkins we specialise in providing clean and efficient cesspit emptying across Worcester, Gloucester, Herefordshire, Shropshire, Monmouthshire, Shrewsbury, and Droitwich areas. We use the latest equipment and you can rely on us to properly dispose of the waste at a licenced liquid waste disposal treatment plant.
So if you need professional assistance keeping your cesspit in working order, make sure you call in our expert team. We'll ensure your cesspit, or cesspool, is kept at an acceptable level so you reduce the risk of leaks or overflows and the unpleasant side-effects.

Legal disclaimer: Results may vary from pet to pet
Our 17 year old female cat has great health with the exception of joint stiffness in the back legs and hips. She had been showing discomfort walking, climbing stairs and jumping to the couch for a couple of years, getting progressively worse. About 10 days in, we both noticed that she seemed to be walking better and was having no trouble jumping up to join us on the couch. She's now taking the stairs much easier, using both back legs moving independently instead pulling herself up by the front legs and hopping her back legs up. Plus, she wants to play all the time and is generally more lively. I would recommend this product to anyone whose cat has joint issues.

What is Agile Joints?
Agile Joints was formulated for mobility and to help maintain a normal range of motion in feline joints. Older pets in particular may benefit from extra support. It is common for our pet friends to require additional support for joints and connective tissue.
From our holistic veterinarian, Dr. Jan... "In my practice, almost all the pets over the age of ten need some degree of support to maintain normal cartilage."
What is Agile Joints used for?
Appropriate for all joints. Commonly used for shoulders, hip, knees, ankles, elbows and vertebrae. This proprietary blend of herbs works effectively to support the physiology of the joint tissues in all sizes and breeds.
The joints of the body are made up of the bones of the joint, cartilage that covers the ends of the bones, ligaments and a joint capsule that contains synovial fluid. This fluid works to lubricate the joint and works as a shock absorber when your pet walks, jumps and plays. All of these components need to be comfortable and working smoothly for the healthy function of the joint. Additionally, normal circulation into these areas helps to transport nutrients in and take waste products out.
Agile Joints nourishes the components of the joint tissue by supporting the underlying normal physiology. It also reduces free radical formation that can affect the joint.
A Note from our Veterinarian...
- Agile Joints may work very effectively given on its own. Also consider giving your feline Pet Wellbeing's Agile Joints PLUS for Cats. These two products for joint support are ideally used together. After administering both products for a period of time, desired results may be achieved. At that point, it may be possible to only give Agile Joints PLUS for Cats, but it is acceptable to administer both products, as needed.
- A good diet goes a long way for maintaining healthy joints and keeping weight within a healthy range. Excess weight can put more stress on the joints.
Can my cat take Agile Joints with medications?
Use caution if your pet is taking steroid medication or NSAIDS. Do not use with blood thinners. If your pet is taking medications, it is advisable to consult a veterinarian before using the product.
Does it come with a guarantee?
Yes! Agile Joints comes with a 90 day money back guarantee.

Motherhood could be an overwhelming journey for new moms. Therefore, we want to make them feel special by providing stylish, modern, and comfortable nursing wear so both mother and baby can feel at ease while in public.
The idea of creating modern nursing and maternity wear emerged in 2013 when one of the owners fell pregnant and thinking that finding comfortable yet stylish maternity wear in Indonesian market is not easy. For the reason, they decided to create exclusive maternity wear brand which not only has a modern design but also can be worn since they are pregnant until nursing the babies. After all the sweat, in 10th February 2014 the first collection of NyoNya Nursing Wear (NNW) was launched. The market then gladly welcomed our first collection with two hundred and fifty pieces of clothes sold in the first month by selling it via Instagram only. Six month later, NNW revenue raised up to 2100%. We always wants mothers to feel confident in their look without ignoring their baby's need and having privacy issues.

In today's digital age, childhood pastimes are increasingly moving indoors – leaving children arguably denied of the natural learning opportunities that the outdoors offer. Rachel Stroud, from SA Kids, gives the DIRT on outdoor play, reflecting on the many physical, cognitive and social/emotional benefits of the outdoors:
Children are naturally curious and motivated to learn about their environment and surroundings. They do this by asking questions and talking about their experiences. What better way to explore their world than by being outside enjoying it?
Free and unstructured play outdoors encourages problem solving, social skills and many other forms of development. It's an ideal environment for experiential learning, as it offers unique opportunities to be creative, to move around, and for children to make choices, be loud or quiet.
Outside, kids can explore, take risks, run as fast as they can, jump, climb, shout and sing.
It also provides them with the space and environment to be peaceful, to be still, calm, to lay down and look up at the sky, to enjoy the silence or sounds of nature around them. To make their choice to follow a path that interests them.
As well as providing opportunities for creative play and being resourceful, outdoor play promotes a sense of confidence and wellbeing.
Source: Stroud, R. 2014, 'The dirt on outdoor play', SA Kids, 28 August.
Outdoor play is invaluable to a child's development on a number of levels. Through outdoor play, kids unleash their creativity, learn to express themselves and above all, discover the world around them. With so many benefits, here are some simple tips to engage your kids in the outdoors these school holidays:
- Enjoy the outdoors by hiking, playing at the beach or park, or riding. You may even wish to plan a camp together.
- Be directed by your child, and encourage their involvement in whatever they are interested in. Simply visiting the local park can provide kids with a fulfilling outdoor adventure.
- Be involved yourself. Research shows that by engaging in the outdoors with your child, you will enjoy positive learning experiences together – that are fun. Be a part of the process – and be an example. Make their outdoor experience a shared experience.

Hrishikesh Mukherjee was a silent musician as well: Big B
Mumbai: Megastar Amitabh Bachchan says late legendary filmmaker Hrishikesh Mukherjee, who is considered one of the best directors of Indian cinema, was a silent musician as well.
On the occasion of 40 years of their 1977 film "Alaap", Amitabh shared a few throwback black and white photographs on his blog in which Mukherjee — popularly known as Hrishi-da — can be seen playing the sitar while the "Piku" star is listening to him.
"Hrishi da was a silent musician as well. Played the sitar… As did his brother and many a time on set he would simply pick up the instrument, there as a prop, and entertain us. An ardent listener being yours truly," Amitabh wrote.
The 74-year-old further said his late father and poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan refused to write a song for the film, but allowed him to take any of his poems and use it as a song.
"And 'Alaap' those rare moments with Hrishi da. The honour of working with the great Chaya Devi from Bengal a veteran and of course the poem of Babuji that was the only contribution that my father agreed to. He refused to write a song for a film, but said if you want my poem take it as it is and use it as a song in its purity. We did," he wrote.
On the film front, Amitabh will next be seen in "Sarkar 3".

Over the past weekend, Austrian Red Cross volunteers have supported more than 15,000 people who crossed the border from Hungary in the span of 48 hours, on foot but also on buses and trains. There were 250 volunteers mobilized at the initial stage of this emergency operation. By Sunday the number of volunteers spiked to 1,400 assisting people along the borders, at the main stations in the country and on trains taking people westward towards Germany. Hundreds of other volunteers were on stand-by, ready to answer the call when needed.
In the early hours of Saturday, the first bus full of people arrived at the border crossing in Nickelsdorf. Men, women and children who had been sleeping rough for days in the underpass at the Keleti train station in Budapest received hot drinks and warm food from Red Cross mobile kitchens. Many people needed medical assistance and first aid at the four Red Cross locations along the border. Many slept on the beds that the Austrian Red Cross prepared for the fatigued travellers.
Samira from Syria is coming towards the end of her pregnancy and had to swim for 9km from Turkey to Greece with her husband. She said: "I am so happy to be here! I felt immediately safe and welcomed. I already saw a doctor and we have a place to rest for a while."
Warm clothes, blankets and hygiene products brought a grateful smile to many of the exhausted people, including small children, who had started their journey in Turkey and Greece some weeks ago.
On Friday, 1,200 migrants started a procession on foot from Keleti train station towards the border with Austria on M1 motorway. During the night, many followed the same route in buses with several hundred people left to spend the night at the Budapest station. On Saturday morning the latter group woke up to a wet start but also to a cup of hot tea handed over to them by the Hungarian Red Cross volunteers and staff. "People were so grateful and happy to have something warm on this chilly morning," said Ildiko Buncsik, the Director of the Budapest Branch who joined the team of 13 to distribute 900 hot drinks, along with blankets and waterproof covers.
"Throughout their journey people always need clothes to change and hygiene packs because they travel light and can't carry enough in their small backpacks," Ildiko said.
The day before, 80 Hungarian Red Cross volunteers followed the people who started their trip on foot distributing food, blankets and water along the motorway.
As many as 154,242 people – many fleeing conflicts and extreme poverty at home – have entered Hungary through the Western Balkan route before 6 September this year. For migrants on the Western Balkan route, Hungary has been mainly a country of transit and although Austria is expecting around 80,000 asylum applications in 2015, most of the migrants passing through Austria this weekend have already made their way to Germany.
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies advocates for a coordinated, collective response that engages all countries in Europe to ensure the dignity and protection of people on the move.

K.K.K. Controversy
The Ku Klux Klan called for a boycott by white students at an elementary school in Central North Carolina and threatened to patrol the school following three incidents earlier this month in which black men were found in a girls' bathroom in the school.
J.L. Seman, administrative assistant at the Lee County Schools, said the incidents at the 350-student McIver Elementary School, combined with the kkk's actions, have "created a very emotional situation."
"It has been difficult for the community and difficult on the schools," Mr. Seman said.
Since the incident at the school, a security guard has been hired for the school and modifications are being made to the bathroom so that its entrance will no longer open to the outside of the school, he added.
"There has been a racial quality to the incident," Mr. Seman said.
The Carolina Knights of the kkk called off its plans to patrol the school grounds after the security guard was hired; and the boycott did not take place, according to Mr. Seman.
The North Carolina affiliate of the National Education Association had called on the local police force to keep the kkk off the McIver grounds.--tt

The Amasa Back trail is one of the classic rides of Moab. It ascends from Kane Creek on the Colorado River just west of Moab, climbing up onto an outcropping of rock
surrounded on three sides by the Colorado.
The Porcupine Rim Trail is the "other" famous classic ride at Moab. At 15.6 miles, requiring expert technical skills, this ride is for advanced bikers who are in good
shape. It's one-way with a shuttle car, or a 34-mile loop for the truly insane (10 uphill miles from Moab to the trailhead, 8 flat miles from Jackass Canyon back to the middle of Moab).
This is the world-famous Slickrock Trail near Moab, Utah. This 10.6 mile loop twists and rolls through Navajo sandstone to a breathtaking view over
the Colorado River. The Slickrock Trail is rated high technical difficulty and high aerobic requirement. But many MANY "not-very-good" bikers ride this trail, with a few short hikes over the tough
The Poison Spider Mesa trail is one of the "Must Do" rides of Moab. Combining physically demanding biking challenges with great views, this trail is for expert bikers.
The trail can be ridden as an out-and-back, but here I describe a 13-mile loop that includes the infamous Portal Trail as the return-route off the mesa. Altitude gain is 1000 feet.

Exactly. When my hubby and I get ambitious and buy a lottery ticket, I always say I want to win just enough to pay off our credit cards. Not even the house! Just our credit cards because we would be so much better off.
I see my parents and how they struggle to try and make ends meet. They recently had their car repossessed and we had to loan them our beater truck until they came up with the money to get it back. My parents are living off $750/mo soc sec and $100/mo retirement on my dad, and my mom has a day care of 3 kids.
Both families are on vacation this week so there is $0 coming there. It is awful to see your parents struggle. I don't want my kids to do the same with us.

- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces, room temperature
- 1 large egg yolk
- ¼ cup honey
Recipe Preparation
Whisk flour, cardamom, and salt in a medium bowl to combine. Place sugar in a large bowl and scrape in vanilla seeds; save pods for another use. Massage mixture with your fingers until sugar looks like wet sand. Add butter and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until mixture is smooth. Add egg yolk and honey; beat to combine. Reduce speed to low; add dry ingredients in 2 additions, mixing well after each addition. Knead dough a couple of times to incorporate any dry bits in the bottom of the bowl.
Divide dough in half and pat into two 9"-long logs. Wrap each log in parchment paper, then wrap tightly in plastic. Roll each log across work surface to make as round and regular as possible, then chill until firm, about 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 350°. Gently scatter half of sanding sugar over a small portion of work surface. Unwrap 1 log of dough and roll log in sugar, applying a bit of pressure to help it stick, until evenly coated. Slice dough into ¼"–½"-thick rounds, rolling log every few slices to avoid creating a flat surface. Place cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing about 2" apart, and chill. Scatter remaining sanding sugar on surface and repeat with remaining log of dough.
Bake cookies, rotating baking sheets top to bottom and back to front halfway through, until cookies are golden around the edges but still pale in the center, 13–18 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on baking sheets, then transfer to wire racks and let cool completely.
Do Ahead: Dough can be made 1 month ahead; freeze instead of chilling. Thaw in refrigerator overnight before using. Cookies can be baked 3 days ahead; store airtight at room temperature.

Summer is just around the corner, so this would be the right time to make plans. Be it exotic getaways, backyard adventures, beach days and mountain hikes, all of these come with an unjustifiably high price tag during this pleasant season.
We have listed a few tips suggested by experts on how to optimize your summer travel to get more bang out of your bucks.
Avoid Peak Months
Summer is, without a doubt, the most expensive season for travel. Yet, you can save considerably by avoiding the peak months of the season, which is from late June to early August. We recommend you to schedule your trip during early June, late August or early September to get the best summer deals. As a bonus, you'll avoid the peak crowd as well.
Quick tip – The cheapest days to fly within the week are Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Plan Ahead
The ideal time to book for peak travel season is anywhere from four to eight months before the trip. You must be patient in making the booking. Do some research for a while. Seal the deal once you are certain that the prices low.
Be Flexible
Flexibility with dates and destination can get you the best deals. If you are not flexible, you will have to accept the prices dictated by the airlines, which are almost always unfavorable to your wallet.
According to statistics, most people first choose their destination, then they decide on a date and finally start looking for cheap flights. This puts the least priority on finding cheap flights which will always eat up a good chunk of the travel budget. To optimize your travel, begin with finding cheap flights and make plans accordingly.
Choose your destination wisely
Base your travel plans on finding the lowest prices. This will allow you to retain your budget and do things you wouldn't usually be able to afford and create new experiences.
Try a Homestay
When visiting some offbeat locations like Chikmagalur, While luxury Chikmagalur resorts may be tempting, Chikmagalur homestays like DM Villa or any such properties offered by Airbnb are generally cheaper and more comfortable than top resorts. In a Chikmagalur homestay, you get an opportunity to build a personal relationship with the locals who can help in acquiring an authentic experience of the local culture and uncover hidden gems. Hosts of such homestays can point you in some unique locations that you normally wouldn't find on any travel maps.
Free Activities
Be on a lookout for any free events or activities in an area. Many places have free tours conducted by locals on a pay what you want basis. Eager locals who are proud to show off their city and share their knowledge generally conduct these kinds of tours. Some locations have tourism planner arrange some unique events like chef demonstrations, art workshops, and live performances without asking you to spend any money. It may come in any form so always be on a lookout for such opportunities and don't pass up on them.

text: SAVE Many say print is dead, but these stunning covers of 2016 prove otherwise as they breathe new life to the magazines we know and love through noteworthy subject choices and stellar celebrity transformations. It was tough narrowing the best down to 10, but our picks are on this list not merely because of their strong visual game, but because of the beautiful stories behind each one. In no particular order, our Best of 2016 covers: 1. Metro Weddings Vol. 16 No. 1: Isabelle Daza-Semblat and Adrien Semblat. In the many years Metro Weddings has been in publication, it usually has the bride (or a group of bridesmaids) on its covers. This issue, however, featured both the bride and groom, making this the first Metro Weddings issue to feature a couple on its cover. 2. Metro June 2016: Solenn Heussaff. Utilizing the best and latest in technology, Metro Magazine made a bold step for this issue as they shot their cover images using a smartphone: Proof that with magazines, possibilities are still endless. 3. Metro Society August 2016: John Lloyd Cruz. In addition to this being John Lloyd's first appearance on the magazine;s cover, this issue also tackles a different side of John Lloyd: His love and passion for art cinema, and promoting art films to a wider audience, as interviewed by known movie critic Philbert Dy. 4. Metro Feburary 2016: Kathryn Bernardo. This cover is the Teen Queen's first time donning a mature, sultry look, which perfectly introduced her foray into more mature movie and TV roles. 5. Metro October 2016: Nadine Lustre and James Reid. This issue featured three different covers showcasing various style transformations JaDine underwent; plus, they also played guest editors for Metro, a first for them. 6. Metro Society February 2016: Gabby Lopez, Charo Santos-Concio, and Carlo Katigbak. This issue is a very rare occasion where the top bosses of ABS-CBN—Chairman Gabby Lopez, Chief Content Officer Charo Santos-Concio, and President Carlo Katigbak—joined forces to give readers a behind-the-scenes look at the network's journey, as well as to share their own career stories. 7. Metro November 2016: Georgina Wilson-Burnand. This particular cover is not your typical Georgina-fronted cover: It is the only cover where she posed naked while pregnant, all confident and comfortable with her own body. 8. Chalk May 2016: Kobe Paras. He may be thousands of miles away from here, but we still can't get enough of this basketball prodigy who's making waves in the United States. He fronted Chalk Magazine's #ChalkBoysOfSummer list, in addition to landing his first solo magazine cover. 9. StarStudio June 2016: Toni Gonzaga-Soriano. Toni's appearance on this StarStudio cover sporting her then-pregnant belly marked the first time Toni officially spoked about her pregnancy. Here, she also opened up about her private life, specifically regarding motherhood and her marriage to director Paul Soriano. 10. StarStudio July 2016: President Rodrigo Duterte. The 16th President of the Republic of the Philippines is the first time for the entertainment magazine to have a living leader of the country as its main cover star–in black and white at that (another first for them). Which of these 10 covers is your favorite? Let us know by voting for it in the poll below! ALSO READ: Best of 2016: 10 Sweetest Pop Culture Moments We Won't Forget

Tonight, I sat and watched my daughter eat sushi. I tried for years to encourage her to try it. Just last weekend she decided to try it and found out she loved it.
I remember telling her, "Told you so."
Of course, that first night she became ill, but I think it may have been a quick flu bug.
Nonetheless, she ordered it again tonight, excited to eat more.
Later, we went to see movie, Before I Fall.
And tonight when I returned home and checked Kate's site: the prompt this week is purpose.
My love for my husband, daughter, and family is my purpose.
The day's events spin in my mind.
Watching my daughter cry over a test because she could not understand the math concepts.
The laughter of grands playing in the backyard.
My husband's laughter and joy spreading over his face.
Yes, this is a day I would gladly repeat, except for the melt down over math.
I learned a lot. I need to be more attentive and loving.
I need to grow as a wife, mother, and grandmother.
Purpose and love intertwine in a circle of repetition. These are the facets of life that make it worth living and even if called upon dieing.
Some thoughts to ponder:
What lessons would you learn from repeating a single day in your life over and over again? Which day would you choose. What do you feel is the purpose of your life?

A quick update. I contacted the Customer Support and with their assistance I nailed down the problem to the Firewall component of Avast Business. In fact, to let the hotspot be recognized and start the connection it is enough to temporarily disable only the firewall part, not the entire suite as I used to do initially. This said, at the moment I'm unsure about what to do to work around the issue. I'll let you know if I find anything useful.Best regards,Filippo

Usually when I say that to someone what I get is a puzzled look. People struggle to comprehend. They pause, unsure what to say.
You don't often get twins born two and a half years apart you see.
Although these days, with more and more kids being born as a result of IVF, this is getting more common. You see, although my kids were born two and a half years apart, they were "made" at the same time.
When you undergo IVF treatment, you do some very wacky things to your system. Daily injections drive a massive stimulation of your ovaries, which then release a number of eggs during your monthly cycle, rather than the single egg that would be produced in a "normal" cycle. These eggs are then mixed in some way with your husband's sperm to fertilise and produce embryos (for traditional IVF they're just put in the same Petri dish and left to get on with it, whereas in our case the geekdaddy's sperm could not be counted on to even manage that and so we underwent ICSI where a single sperm is injected directly in to each egg). Typically the embryos mature in the lab for 3 days, and then a number (usually one or two) are implanted into your womb through a procedure that is uncomfortably like a cervical smear.
As I said to my husband at the time, it's a very strange way to get pregnant.
News broke this week that there have now been over five million successful live births as a result of IVF pregnancies since Louise Brown made history when she was the first one born in 1978. Five million. Five million little miracles, just like my two. There are millions of couples worldwide for whom this was the only way we could have children, who are astonished by what can be done with science these days. And for me, and I suspect many other women in the same position, it has had a lasting effect. For example now, almost 5 years after her birth, I'm not 100% sure of the geekdaughter's birth weight. It was either 8lb10 or 8lb12, but I can never remember. However I remember all the numbers associated with the IVF cycle that gave her to us without hesitating.
11 eggs collected. 9 fertilised. 4 frozen immediately. The remaining 5 were given three days to develop, after which time 2 were transferred, 2 were frozen and 1 failed to develop. Net result 2 embryos in me, 6 in the freezer in the lab.
Only one embryo implanted, but 9 months later, thanks to the miracle of science, the geekdaughter arrived.
When we'd finally got over the shock, and felt like we were getting the hang of this whole parenting lark, we undertook a second IVF cycle, this time using the embryos from the freezer rather than making more new ones.
4 embryos defrosted (it's standard procedure to defrost two at a time, so actually what happened was that the first pair were taken out, neither of them survived the thaw, so a second pair were taken out. From this pair one survived and one didn't). That single embryo was transferred back into me, and 9 months later the geekson arrived.
It was our fertility consultant who first said the word "twins" to us. We were sitting in his office after my first scan in my second pregnancy, and he pointed out that the new baby would be the geekdaughter's twin. At which point we probably did the puzzled, blank look we see so often in others when we talk about this subject.
"Twins? Really?" said the geekdaddy "I guess that's pretty unusual"
"Not really" said the consultant. He was a man of very few words, so didn't elaborate. My experience has been that it is still fairly unusual, backed up in part by newspaper articles like this one which tell us how unusual it is.
Of course the crux of the matter is that it all depends how you define "twins", and again this is one of those questions that's only arisen since the development of IVF treatment. Do we define twins as "two children conceived at the same time" or "two children born at the same time"? Until IVF was available there wasn't a difference, but now of course, as in our case, there can be. And although I love the story of how our two children were conceived, I don't think of them as twins. They weren't born at the same time, and I certainly haven't faced the challenges that parents of "real" twins experience in raising them. So whilst I enjoy telling the story about my kids being twins, I don't think of them that way myself. They are brother and sister, and that's good enough for me.

Cape Town - It appears as though the Bulls will not appoint a full-time Director of Rugby, with Alan Zondagh likely to help out on a part-time basis.
Afrikaans Sunday newspaper Rapport indicated over the weekend that Zondagh, a former Western Province coach, was set to be appointed as the Bulls' Director of Rugby, with Victor Matfield to be named head coach.
However, Netwerk24 reported on Thursday that Zondagh's role will not be a full-time one.
Investment company Remgro, which owns a 50% stake in the Blue Bulls Company, is believed to be eager to see someone of Zondagh's experience assist Matfield.
But the Afrikaans publication added that there is not a Director of Rugby vacancy at the Bulls and that Zondagh is likely to be utilised on a part-time basis only.
Zondagh coached Eastern Province and Western Province in the 1990s before leaving for England where he coached London Scottish. He was also the Director of Rugby at Saracens and later fulfilled the same role at Boland. In recent years, he has run the Rugby Performance Centre (RPC) in Riebeek West in the Western Cape.
Matfield, meanwhile, looks set to be named as Bulls head coach but a few issues regarding his contract has reportedly delayed the official announcement.
Pote Human, the Blue Bulls' Currie Cup coach, and former Springbok scrumhalf Fourie de Preez have been mentioned as possible assistant coaches for Matfield.

Tips And Techniques For A Great Organic Garden
Growing your own organic fruits and vegetables is a great way to know what your food contains and where it comes from. While gardening without the use of pesticides and herbicides can seem like it might be hard to to do, if you have the right information, it can actually be very easy and rewarding. This article will show you how it can be done.
Combining different selections of plants in a garden area holds the interest and adds to the enjoyment of the viewer. Merge contrasting plants to craft interesting combinations. Add big leaf plants with fine leaf plants and combine them with plants different in texture and color to create the most eye catching and interesting landscape garden.
Growing compost piles are a great alternative to buying traditional fertilizer. Compost piles are composed of organic material that slowly deteriorates making a nutrient-rich soil. It presents both a great way of ridding yourself of banana peels and other organic compounds, while providing your plants with a nitrogen rich mixture that will promote increased growth.
If you want something fun to do that will benefit you in the kitchen, try growing some herbs in your window. Some herbs may not take kindly to this, but many will! In this way you have some herbs always fresh and handy, and they add a nice touch to the house.
Use fertilizers that are free for the taking. Using chemical free grass clippings or human urine for a nutrient rich and free fertilizer. Twenty parts water with one part urine is an excellent fertilizer for seedlings, or steep the grass clippings in water to make a tea for watering and fertilizing the plants. So don't spend a lot on the garden when the fertilizers can be had for free.
Make your own compost ahead of time rather than purchasing it. Adding compost to your garden gives your plants a needed boost to grow successfully. Begin saving your grass cuttings, raked up leaves, egg shells, and skin from fruits and vegetables in a sturdy bin 6 months prior to your gardening season. Your compost will then be ready to mix in with your dirt on planting day.
If you don't have someone to water your plants while you're out of town, build a homemade watering device! Simply make a small hole in the bottom of a jug, block the hole, and then fill it with water. Place the jug near the base of the plant and remove whatever is blocking the hole. This will slowly give your plant the water it needs while you're away.
To get rid of weeds and household junk at the same time, use shredded junk mail as a fertilizer. Take the shredded pieces of mail, wet them, and lay them in your garden. This will prevent weeds from growing on the places where they are laid, and will also help your plants to fight off diseases.
As you can see, growing your own garden, free from the chemicals that other foods contain, is not only easy to do, but you will have a wonderful, healthy crop of food that you can eat yourself, or share with family and friends. Make sure you tell them what they are eating.…

Types of Legionnaire's Disease
There are three types of Legionnaire's disease.
Travel-Associated Legionnaires' Disease: The first type and most common is travel-associated Legionnaire's disease. Just as the name implies, this type of Legionnaire's disease is acquired while traveling. Sources of the this type of Legionnaire's disease have included the water systems of hotels, cruise ships, as well as whirlpool spas and hot tubs.
Community Acquired Legionnaires' Disease: Community acquired Legionnaire's disease is acquired in the general community. A cooling tower at a mall could be the source of this type of the disease.
Nosocomial Legionnaires' Disease: The final type of Legionnaire's disease is hospital acquired and has been given the name Nosocomial. Again it is the water supply that is usually the culprit in an outbreak at a hospital. Unfortunately, many of the victims of the disease have compromised health which is the every reason they are in the hospital in the first place.

In 2009, Jim Murray's Whisky Bible named Ardbeg Uigeadail 'World Whisky of the Year' – in praise of its "utter silky brilliance" and "complexity on a level only a handful of distilleries in the world can even dream of reaching."
Ardbeg Uigeadail (pronounced 'Oog-a-dal') is a special vatting that marries Ardbeg's traditional deep, smoky notes with luscious, raisiny tones of old ex-Sherry casks. It's non chill-filtered at high strength, which retains maximum flavour and gives more body and added depth.
Ardbeg Uigeadail was recently voted by the 80,000 strong Ardbeg Committee as their favourite Ardbeg. With whisky this good, who can blame them?
Uigeadail Awards
97.5/100 - The Whisky Bible 2013
Double Gold - San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2012
Gold - International Wine and Spirits Competition 2012
Double Gold - San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2011
Gold Best in Class - International Wine and Spirits Competition 2010
World Whisky of the Year - The Whisky Bible 2009
Uigeadail Accolades
"Ardbeg, I don't know how you can sustain such a quality spirit without compromising the nose, taste, and finish. This truly amazes me. Superb whisky."
"Wow. Nose - refreshing. Taste - Invigorating. Finish - Unforgettable."
"This is, for me, ABSOLUTELY the best whisky!"
"Every time I buy a bottle of Uigeadail I ask myself why I drink anything else. It has everything… plenty of power, always puts a smile on my face."
Rich and weighty with heady and smoky aromatics, this expression of Ardbeg is both intensely flavoured and perfectly integrated. At full strength, the initial aroma is a beguiling mix of warm Christmas cake, walnut oil and parma violets fused with fresh ocean spice, cedar and pine needles falling from the Christmas tree. A smouldering smoky coal fire and the deep scent of well-oiled leather brings warmth to the scene. The sweetness of treacle toffees and chocolate-coated raisins bring indulgence through the smoke.
With water, the deep smokiness increases in intensity, reminiscent of a Christmas pudding on fire. Tarry smoke and diesel engine oil enter the room bringing smells of an age gone by. Rich flowering currants and warm baked banana and walnut bread are served with simmering mocha espresso.
Full flavoured and rich with a deep mouth-coating texture, the taste is an intriguing balance between sweet, spicy and deep smoky flavours.
The flavour is initially sweet as Christmas cake begins to soak into the tongue. A burst of winter spices sets off a smoky-spicy explosion countered by a sumptuous mid-palate of honey glazed smoked food and chewy treacle. Waves of deep smoky tones and rich aromas build up on the palate like a fine Montecristo cigar.
Amazingly long and chewy with lingering raisiny, deep mocha tones and rich aromatic smoke into the perfectly integrated finish.
