What Satan Doesn't Want You Knowing About Abortion, LGBT, Etc.
America was founded upon the notions called "life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness". Satan's fall was founded upon the notions of pride, greed, envy, anger & deceit. In the year 2017, pretty much all of these concepts were put into the melting pot called "Modern-Day Christianity". And many people are none the wiser. Why? Answer: Because Satan successfully mixes truth WITH lies.
Let us look at a few examples, here:
- The "Sunday Sabbath"/"Jesus Rose On Sunday"
- Abortion/Women's Rights
- LGBT/Human Rights
- Transgenderism/Human Rights
Okay, lets now take a deeper look at #1, The "Sunday Sabbath". Back in ancient times, the Roman Emperor Constantine, along with the help of "Catholic bishops", proclaimed Christianity as the official religion of the Roman Empire.
"What's so wrong with THAT?" someone may protest. "That sounds nice…..that sounds like Constantine was trying to PROTECT Christians from persecution".
But lets unpack this a bit….there were many, many "Pagans" living in the Roman Empire at that time. And the Roman Catholic Church (and Constantine) wanted to control as many of the Roman "populace" as possible. So how do that? Answer: Through religion.
But the Pagans didn't LIKE many of the BIBLICAL CHRISTIAN PRACTICES……so Constantine had to "appeal" to the Pagans. And the ONLY way he could do that was by PAGANIZING CHRISTIANITY, and that's exactly what he did (with the help of the Catholic bishops, ofcourse).
So essentially, what Constantine did was spread a FALSE, PAGANIZED *FORM* of Christianity that had no true, biblical merits. Why? Because he (along with the help of the Catholic bishops) CHANGED THE SABBATH, from the 7th-day biblically-mandated Saturday to Sun-day, venerable worship day of THE SUN!
(And interestingly enough, if you look around the Catholic Church today in the Vatican, you will see ALL SORTS of remnants of "sun worship" – in fact, the "halos" you see around "Catholic saints" are supposed to represent SUN HALOS/SUNS!)
That was the start of it. But he didn't stop THERE. No……He took it even a step FURTHER. He OUTLAWED fasting, Biblical Feasts, and ABSTAINING from work on Saturday, the TRUE SABBATH. He OUTLAWED biblical feasts by calling them "Jewish feasts". And then, sometime later on, the false/Paganized holidays of "Christmas" and "Easter" were celebrated, which actually came from ANCIENT PAGAN SEX FESTIVALS (Saturnalia of Christmas, and Feast of Ishtar, fertility "goddess" of Easter).
Because do you REALLY think Satan would've let the Roman Catholic Church (key word being ROMAN) stand if it were REALLY, TRULY following the bible? Think about it, folks! The ONLY reason Satan's left the Roman Catholic Church alone and let it PROSPER beyond anything imaginable that this Earth's ever seen is because it, the Roman Catholic Church, is NOT following the bible (atleast, they're not following the Jesus Christ of the BIBLE, anyways……..but another "Jesus", altogether……..)
And over time, the Roman Catholic Church has gained such WIDE, global influence to the point that even many NON-BELIEVERS, sadly, consider The Catholic Church/Pope/Vatican to be THE PREMIER AUTHORITY on Christianity! "Well, the Catholic Church has made alot of contributions to history, such as the first printing of the bible in the English language, etc."
See how Satan works, folks? See how he mixes truth with lies? He'll allow Christians to go to church every week because they (as a whole) are going to church on the WRONG DAY/WRONG SABBATH (Sun-day, venerable worship day of THE SUN!) Just like he'll allow Christians to be Christians since they celebrate in the FALSE/PAGANIZED HOLIDAYS OF CHRISTMAS & EASTER!
(Plus, have you ever noticed how these two holidays actually MOCK Jesus Christ by equating him with "Santa Claus" and the "Easter bunny? Tell me what those things have to do with Christ! Anything? Didn't think so!!!!!)
We know from the bible that God worked for SIX DAYS, then rested on, CONSECRATED and SANCTIFIED the 7th day of the week, SATURDAY, as HIS HOLY 7TH DAY SABBATH. So for MORTAL MAN to come along and CHANGE IT? It's like saying that God made a mistake when he made the 7th Day Sabbath! THINK ABOUT IT, FOLKS!
And when people starting waking up to that fact, Satan started a "Resurrection Sunday" Movement. Have you ever noticed that, folks? Pastors preaching that "Jesus rose on Sunday morning". But if you read the bible between the lines, it's clearly apparent that Jesus rose at the END of Saturday evening and was ALREADY RISEN by EARLY Sunday morning, he didn't rise DURING Sunday morning. So the "Resurrection Sunday" thing is CLEARLY A LIE!
Now lets go to example #2, Abortion/Women's Rights. It really all started in the 60's, during the "Free Love/Hippy Movement'. That's what really got all this "dire feminism" thing started. And WHO do you think is behind the Hippy Movement? Any guesses, folks? It sure as heck wasn't Jesus Christ of the bible that started it! (And P.S.: did you know that the Peace Sign is actually supposed to be a MOCKING of Christ?)
"We don't have to listen to authority, we don't have to answer to anybody, we have free will, we can do whatever the heck we want". My, my, my, one would rather think that it was a "fallen angel rally", not any type of "human rally", am I right? Don't those sentiments echo almost exactly what the fallen angels likely said to themselves/amongst themselves when they thought they no longer had to follow God as the Head Authority? Think about it, folks!
And out of "hippy-ism" sprang FEMINISM. Basically, this "Movement" ATTACKED Jesus Christ, ATTACKED THE BIBLE, ATTACKED the Traditional Family, ATTACKED traditional gender role models and "worshiped the woman". At first, women were fighting for the right to ENTER into the workforce. And then, they wanted the right to NOT have to have a baby. That's where the "Abortion fight" came in.
"I'm not ready for a baby yet, or right now". Whatever happened to PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY? Does THAT not matter, anymore? Whenever a woman protests: "my body, my choice", she instead is essentially saying: "I want the right to have unprotected sex with no biological consequences".
True, some women are raped and that's a horrible, horrible thing. But the baby itself didn't rape them. Why is their life more important than the baby's life? Can they REALLY imagine the baby within their wombs saying: "Please kill me mommy, I don't WANT to live? Please, please, PLEASE allow my brain and body parts to be TORN APART by forceps and scissors! I WANT to feel torturous pain, mommy!?"
Oddly enough, long-time research shows that women that kept and raised their babies born out of rape were much, much better off psychologically and emotionally, rather than those raped women who chose to abort. Abortion is something that stays with you for YEARS afterwards (in your mind, heart, body and spirit) and there's no escaping it! Not to mention that many raped women say that keeping & raising their babies actually HEALED THEM, psychologically! Who ever would've thought?
But the truth is, abortion does NOT make a pregnant woman unpregnant but rather, the mother of a dead baby. And I don't exactly see women dancing in the streets and being all high and emotionally pumped up and JOYFULLY HAPPY after having an abortion. So I can only guess that abortion is NOT so liberating to women, as the "Feminist Movement" claims.
But Satan is like that high-payed lawyer that tries to LURE women into the sin of murder: some women hear that small still voice that says: "Hey, YOU – the woman – should have rights, TOO! You shouldn't HAVE to have a kid if you're not ready to!" But tell me. If people were in the streets protesting: "I should have the right to murder", other people would go BALLISTIC and have those people arrested for "incitement", etc. Yet sadly, in today's world, when women march in protest for the right to MURDER THEIR BABIES, the world even doesn't blink an eye & turns the other way.
And during an abortion, the baby's heart stops and they are pulled from the womb, LIMB BY LIMB, with forceps! What if someone were to pull today's modern women or men apart, LIMB BY LIMB and then try to say it was their "right" to do so? What a sick, murderous, degenerate nation we live in today, folks! A woman's right to sin is more important than the life of her baby!
Even women that are MARRIED are no exception. Some of them want their abortions, TOO! And for WHAT? Their lives are more important than their baby's life BECAUSE….?? The point I'm trying to make here is that MURDER should NEVER, EVER be a "right" in this country – for ANY REASON – and yet, sadly, it is (in the case of Abortion and Euthanasia!)
Abortion is NOT about "Women's Rights", it's about TWO things and TWO things, ONLY: killing and $$$$$$$ profits!
The bond that a mother has with her unborn child is one of THE MOST precious bonds in existence! So for any one person, name or organization to come along and try to DESTROY that bond and to do so for $$$$ profit?!!!!! Those are the TRUE PEOPLE who are "Anti-Woman", and "Anti-Woman's Rights".
Planned Parenthood even "complains" about "Birthright Centers", places that help women RAISE their babies and find necessary resources for doing so! It's not enough that they're ALREADY killing babies for $$$ profit! It would rather seem that Planned Parenthood doesn't want ANY babies born, PERIOD! They apparently HATE life! That's because Jesus Christ IS life! And he's the Maker & Giver of it! We were all made in God's holy image; male and female!
Now lets move on to #'s 3 and 4, LGBT/Transgenderism/Human Rights. It's really no different than #2, Abortion/Women's Rights. Human rights. Sounds good on the surface, doesn't it? But what is it REALLY ABOUT, underneath all the "media propaganda" layers? Lets have a look.
The whole point of the LGBT Pride Parades and/or Transgenderism Movement (correct me if I'm wrong) is to convince the outside world that what they're doing is "normal". Because hey, if it's "normal", then it should (theoretically) be a "human right", correct?
Only, the thing is, it's NOT "normal" (not according to the bible AND not according to many psychologists). In fact, back in the 70's, the Diagnostic Manual described "homosexuality/transgenderism" as "abnormal/mental illness". And what's interesting to note here is that the psychologists behind the manual weren't even particularly religious, from what I note. And so nobody can make the argument that these psychologists were "religious" per say or that they were "just acting with the times". They saw gender as "truly binary", set in stone and anything outside of that was to them, "biologically abnormal".
But then, "homosexual activists" put pressure on the APA to REMOVE that listing from the Diagnostic Manual. They wanted it to be known that it was a "choice", that they were simply "choosing" to be that way, from what I read. But NOW – in the year 2017 – they've changed their tune. NOW they want people to think they were "born that way" and "can't help it". And ironically, I've most recently read about a survey done, that when homosexual people were asked if they'd be willing to take a pill if it "undid their gayness", the overwhelming majority said no. Interesting.
A prominent gay activist HIMSELF most recently proclaimed: "there IS no such thing as a gay gene"
Not to mention a few academic/scientific studies confirm the same:
So….WHY do homosexuals and transgenders want people to think that they're behavior is "normal?" Well, the first thing is that they're in denial. They DON'T see what they're doing as "Sin" at all (with many not even believing in the concept of "sin" to begin with, for that matter). While yet others likely think that, maybe, just maybe, if they can get MAN/MANKIND to approve it, then maybe that means that they could also get Jesus Christ to approve it. Because, using secular reasoning, "if too many human beings approve it, then God can't be against it".
But the thing to note here is that even if 99% of people on Earth APPROVED of the "sin" of homosexuality/transgenderism, it would STILL be a sin in Jesus's eyes! And if it came down to only ONE person on the planet (and their close family, perhaps) being saved in the End, then only one person (+ any possible close family members, by proxy) would be saved! (i.e. Let us not forget Noah & his family during the time of God's Wrath and the Great Flood Upon the Earth!)
But lets unpack this a bit. If/when a gay/trans person says they were "born that way", they're essentially calling God/Jesus Christ A LIAR! Not to mention that they're ALSO saying in a sense that they HATE the way God/Jesus Christ made them! So how is that NOT sin, folks? Think about it!
ALL the LGBT fight is about (essentially) is THE RIGHT TO SIN WITHOUT EARTHLY CONSEQUENCES! That's all it REALLY boils down to, after one has "unpacked" and "unpeeled" all the layers of what I call the "Onion of Unrighteousness".
So the bad news is that no, they were NOT born that way and science (AND the bible) proves it! But the GOOD NEWS is that, BECAUSE they were NOT born that way, Jesus Christ can STILL change them and turn them INTO the person Jesus had ORIGINALLY intended them to be!
Jesus Christ (the true, BIBLICAL Jesus Christ of the bible) can TAKE AWAY their "transgendered feelings" and their "homosexual attractions". He can BIND the homosexual/transgender demons that plague a person. He can HEAL them and SET THEM FREE from the homosexual/transgender demons, and YES, they are demons, folks; demonic spirits who (much like Satan) lay in wait for whatever soul they can "capture" and "deceive".
Sadly, many LGBT folks are "easy pickins" for such "demons" since they're "broken people" to begin with! Satan constantly searches out "broken people" since they're much easier "spiritual captures" as I call them. But a person that's SPIRITUALLY DELIVERED BY Jesus Christ from such demons is no longer a "spiritual capture" but becomes a spiritual VICTOR!
ALL humans have the fundamental right to be "respected". For example, ALL humans have the right to go into a grocery store and buy their groceries in peace without store managers saying: "Oh, I'm sorry, only blonde-haired people can enter into the store today". Every human has a right to be respected for biological, physical traits they can NOT help.
But when people start demanding rights for things that they technically CAN help and that are UNBIBLICAL and UNREASONABLE in scope, ("I should have the right to have sex in public", "I should have the right to murder my unborn baby for convenience", "I should have the right to use the womens' bathroom, even though I'm not a true/physical woman and still got male genitalia"), Houston, we've got a problem!
Same-sex activity/transgenderism is actually A BEHAVIOR, not an "inherent trait!" Whereas, heterosexuality is an inherent trait. John-Hopkins research has previously pointed out that homosexuality/transgenderism is NURTURE (social environment) rather than NATURE (biology). There is NO gay gene and folks, they won't EVER find one, because it simply DOES NOT EXIST!
And the day when the "Leftist Extreme" CLAIM they "have" found one? Trust me, that'll be the day that they'll have to resort to "faking" the scientific find of finding one, just like they FAKED the "find" of the "Missing Link" – Ida – a mere skull of a LEMUR, HA! https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/03/100302131719.htm
So what's the moral of the story here, folks? Don't believe ANYTHING the Secular Media tells ya. Heck, even those SO-CALLED pictures of the planet Mars and this or that find on Mars, with all the pictures being black and white and really, really "hazy?" I almost laugh every single time and say to myself: FAKE, FAKE, FAKEZOID! To me, the ONLY thing that's true is the gospel of our Lord & Saviour, Jesus Christ Almighty!
And in conclusion, I'd just like to say that ABORTION and the HOMOSEXUAL/TRANS movements are DESIGNED to DESTROY THE TRADITIONAL FAMILY! It's TRUE! Here, a prominent "lesbian" activist even ADMITS that the "gay marriage" movement is meant to DESTROY marriage and the traditional family!
In essence, I think I've known that all along in the back in my mind, I've just never really fully realized it until I saw it written in print!
But again, is it really any surprise that Satan DESIGNED the Gay Movement to DESTROY THE TRADITIONAL FAMILY? We live in such a FALLEN WORLD! Nearly EVERY SINGLE THING of modern day culture (from abortion to "the selfie") is a LIE from Satan and the pits of hell! That's why we MUST forever look at things from the LENS of GOD'S WRITTEN WORD, the bible. Because otherwise, a person WILL become deceived!
Many Christians today are so bold and arrogant to think that they will NEVER be deceived. But seriously. How many of those said Christians ALREADY watch TV shows like "American IDOL", "Game of Thrones", "The Walking Dead", "Dancing with THE STARS?" etc. with reckless abandon? Like it or not, we ARE what we watch or let INTO our minds, hearts, bodies and homes! SO BE CAREFUL!
"God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged"
– Romans 3:4

Angove Family Winemakers is one of Australia's largest privately owned wine companies and makes its stand as one of the few with strong interests in distilling as well as grape growing and winemaking. The origins of Angove as a company have more to do with satisfying a way of life rather than a determination to establish a wine and brandy producing business. The history of Angove began when Dr. William Angove, an accomplished general practitioner and surgeon, emigrated with his wife and young family from Cornwall in 1886 to establish a medical practice in South Australia. His early experimentation with vines, winemaking, and distilling led to the establishment of a proud family business. Dr. Angove's initial plantings at the township of Tea Tree Gully in the Adelaide foothills were the forerunner of one of the largest vineyards in the southern hemisphere –the magnificent Nanya Vineyard at Renmark in South Australia's Riverland. Early vintages of wine, including a Burgundy styled dry red from the original Tea Tree Gully vineyard, proved to be popular within the local community. In addition, the steady expansion of the vineyard and the building of a winery and cellars fueled production as it reached 300 tonnes of grapes by the turn of the century. During that period, the accent on red wine was gradually supplemented by the production of dry white wine as well as sherry and port- style wines. Stills and a large steam boiler were installed for production of fortifying spirit by Angove's eldest son, Thomas "Skipper" Angove, who while completing studies in Oenology at Roseworthy College, branched out from the family home in Tea Tree Gully and set up a distillery and processing house at Renmark in South Australia's Riverland region in 1910. Despite the disruptions of two wars, the Renmark operation progressed and developed a fine reputation for table and fortified wines. In addition, Angove had gained a wide respect for the ability to distil high quality brandy. The renowned 'St. Agnes' had become a hallmark for quality brandy in Australia and a number of export markets. Since World War II, the company has steadily expanded its operations and structure. The Renmark facility has grown to become a major winemaking and distilling entity with storage capacity for more than 15 million litres of wine and spirit. In 1947, Thomas William Carlyon Angove, the grandson of the founder, took the helm as Managing Director—thus beginning a new era in development. In a progressive manner, the company renewed and added equipment, crushing facilities, a modern winemaking plant, and cooling systems, which enabled Angove to develop methods in premium red and white table wine production. By 1983, the fourth generation of the Angove family took control as John Carlyon Angove succeeded his father as Managing Director of the company. John has picked up where his father left off—with increased development and investment in all aspects of the winery. This encompasses everything from the redevelopment of Nanya Vineyard to the increased storage capacity and state of the art packaging facility, which are all housed on the Angove Estate at Renmark. A renewed focus towards sales and marketing has seen the development of an Australian based sales force servicing the domestic trade and an expansion of Angove's export activities. Today, Angove wines can be found in over 30 different countries around the globe! The Angove identity owes a great deal of its success to the pioneering spirit of Dr. Angove. His enthusiasm for wine has been evident in many of the Angove Family Winemakers' developments ever since! Read less

I thought there could be just one thread where people can post their own AMVs, people like me who aren't very good AMV makers can post ones they liked, and people who just watch can comment on what they like about the AMVs.
Rules? Umm...*points to title* I would like to try and keep it strictly DC, because its what we all know (MK counts in this category). Give warnings where appropriate (like, if it is shonen-ai). Not everyone has the same views and some don't like being surprised.
Oh! Also, if an AMV features a couple, tell which couple it is. (Personal preference, this. No real reason for it.)
Here are my favorites! (Its a playlist, so you'll just get a general description: Most of them are canon pairings, but you might just want to keep an eye on the descriptions. A couple are shounen-ai.)

Jean-Marie Le Pen, who heads France's National Front party, has long peppered politics with right-wing bons mots. (Nazi occupation was "not especially inhumane," he once said.) Now his daughter, Marine Le Pen, is showing that she, too, can make headlines.
She called on President Nicolas Sarkozy to step down if implicated in a bribery case dating to 1995. She recently knocked France's racially diverse World Cup soccer team: "I don't see myself represented by this France team."
And after police on June 15 banned a provocative "pork sausage and booze" party that was to be held in a heavily Arab-Muslim quarter of Paris, Ms. Le Pen said, "the French state has capitulated once again."
Succession campaign in full swing
Her higher visibility comes as a National Front succession campaign is in full swing. The senior Le Pen is set to retire as champion of a proud France that, he's long said, is being invaded and cheated by foreign hordes, Brussels bureaucrats, and globalization. He also decries what he calls excessive Jewish influence in the media.
An often-vicious party fight is under way between Ms. Le Pen and Bruno Gollnisch, Mr. Le Pen's stalwart right-hand man. The battle is over the face and direction of the far right, whose influence here has always outweighed its numbers.
Ms. Le Pen, tall, blond, and articulate, wants to move the Front away from the splendid isolation of its 5 to 12 percent vote and appeal to a mainstream that has also moved right. She has rebuffed her dad's anti-Semitism and speaks inclusively of gays and feminists – while nourishing an anti-immigrant, antiburqa, anti-Islam line that plays to a silent majority.
Mr. Gollnisch, serious, gray-haired, a professor and ultranationalist who speaks Japanese and Malay and is deeply loyal to Mr. Le Pen, wants the party to remain a haven for fellow travelers. His anti-Semitism is intact; a 2004 speech saying Holocaust facts are a "dispute of history" landed him in court.
Most French think the daughter, with her populist touch, will win. But in party ranks, Gollnisch is seen as a standard-bearer who put in time and hard work. He told Le Figaro newspaper: "I want … to defend the French identity, which appears more threatened than ever."
"She's a pure product of her father, and she's got the leader's name. That has weight," says Arun Kapil of the American University in Paris. "But to the card-carrying party member, Gollnisch has legitimacy. He goes way back to the '70s."
He adds, "If Marine wins, the Front national has a chance to break out … if Gollnisch wins, they retreat to 2 percent."
Gollnisch insists that he has the moxie to move the party out. He casts himself as a "little guy from the provinces." But so far he isn't even talking to the main center-right party of Mr. Sarkozy, where the voters are. His hatred for political correctness is reputedly visceral. "He prefers to fish in silent, dark waters," a Paris political analyst says.
His outreach is to figures like Philippe de Villiers, a denizen of the extremes who opposes the European Union, the euro, Islam, and Turkey in Europe; who wants riot police to use live ammunition; and who this month tried to ban a heavy-metal concert as "Satanist."
Ms. Le Pen, meanwhile, is taking on figures like Sarkozy and getting quoted almost daily. On the socialist left, she is compared to Sarah Palin, especially after claiming a feminist mantle.
And the return home this week of France's World Cup team, disgraced by its poor performance on and off the field, has only given Ms. Le Pen's earlier statements added weight. Much of the national reaction to the team's behavior was racially loaded, prompting urban affairs minister Fadela Amara to warn against "building a highway for the National Front."
Party witch hunt
Gollnischians snarl that Ms. Le Pen, a tool of Zionists, is conducting party witch hunts to out his supporters. "She is an empty shell … compatible with anything," says former Front vice president Jean-Claude Martinez.
Gollnisch is "faithful to the fundamentals of the Front, whose program he wrote," says analyst Philippe Cohen. "When Marine is 'divisive,' Gollnisch says he is ready to rally the scattered forces of the extreme right."
Mr. Le Pen is silent on the internal struggle. He has long been the face of the European far right, and a powerful influence as the mainstream scrambled to match his ability to capture popular discontent. In 2002, he shocked Paris by facing Jacques Chirac in the national runoff. In 2007, his party did poorly. But Sarkozy's victory was partly based on adopting Le Pen positions and siphoning votes.
Whether the daughter can move the party into power politics is unclear. In The New York Times recently, she described the trials of being a Le Pen, but affirmed core party views: "There has been a withdrawal into non-French identities because we sapped French nationality of its content.… So how can someone be proud? We spend all our lives saying, 'We are ... colonizers, slavery promoters.' "
The Le Pens, in any event, seem here to stay. Mr. Le Pen's granddaughter, Marion Marechal Le Pen, ran in the March local elections. She's 19.

It's no secret that we're fascinated by "365 projects" and the dedication they reveal (previous posts here and here and here). Done well, these daily doses of artistry not only help develop a robust portfolio, but also serve as an exercise in on-demand creativity… a must in the field of graphic design, as we know all too well. And Nebraska-based designer/illustrator Ian Simmons tackled his serial project expertly. We are in awe of not only the diversity of his work, but the sheer quality of his typography. Clearly a movie buff at heart, Simmons masterfully depicted a wide variety of film quotes through illustration and typography, for 365 days straight (actually, 366)! Yes, an entire year. Just incredible. This is just a sampling of a few of our favorites, but be sure to check out his Instagram for the complete collection. He even sells select prints (here).

The California State University (CSU) trains the majority of California's leaders and policymakers. Approximately 64 percent of Californians with master's degrees in public administration studied at the CSU, as well as 35 percent of those with bachelor's degrees. In addition, 49 percent of Californians with bachelor's degrees in city, urban, community, and regional planning studied at the CSU.
CSU graduates impact state and federal policy through their leadership in government and nonprofit organizations. For example, Cal Poly alumna Hilda L. Solis served as U.S. Secretary of Labor and was a member of the President's Cabinet, and Sheryl Chalupa, who serves as president and CEO of Goodwill Industries of South Central California, received her bachelor's and master's degrees from CSU Bakersfield.

One among many advantages of payday loans is that you don't have to fill in numerous forms in order to get cash in Rockland, Delaware. If you have got into trouble with money and don't have much time for the official red-tape then a payday loan may become a heaven-sent opportunity to you.
This way of getting a loan proved to be helpful for those who has got into an emergency situation with money or has to make an urgent payment. Fortunately, you may obtain such a loan very quickly, but rates may be rather high at some companies. For this reason you'd better make certain that the loan you are going to apply for has minimal interest rates.
In which cases is it appropriate to resort to payday loans?
Many people find payday loans with no credit check appealing, but before you decide to get this type of loan you should be aware of some important facts. First, if there are other ways for you to get cash in Rockland, Delaware quickly, for example, from your family or friends, then it is recommended to take advantage of the latter opportunity.
Moreover, you'd better apply for this loan if it is case of emergency. For instance, if you have some unforeseen expenses like urgent car repair or some unexpected charges for medical treatment and it is far too much time to wait until you get your next pay. So if there is no possibility to get money anywhere else, then a payday loan will be the best opportunity.
What sum is it better to apply for?
Almost all lending companies would offer you not more than $1,000, however there are some lenders that may allow you up to $ 1, 500 and even more. The sum depends on how much you earn because lenders want to be sure that you are able to pay off on time.
It is not advisable to apply for a bigger sum than actually needed, as lenders often quote really high rates because of the risk they undergo. Payday loan companies do not verify your credit standing, which means that you may get the money even if your credit is not really good. You just have to be over 18 and be employed with a steady income.
How much time does it take to get the money?
Luckily, you don't need to fill in piles of forms in order to apply for the loan. Due to this fact the whole procedure runs very quickly. You will receive the money within 24 hours from the moment of your applying. Moreover, most companies try to provide the money even quicker.
What should you know when you apply for the loan?
When you apply for this loan or enter any other financial agreement, be vigilant against cheat. For instance, nobody should ask you for your credit details, because this type of loan doesn't suppose credit check. However, a social security number and a current bank account are necessary.

Where I do disagree though is whether this is a good or a bad thing to have these camps. Now I'm clearly biased as I'm on the contract side but I thought I'd put the case as to why contract based and enforcement, and static languages, represent the engineering approach to IT delivery while dynamic languages and late validation is the approach taken by those who consider IT to be an art. This doesn't make the later inherently wrong, but it does mean that it is hugely predicated on the talent of the person doing the job.
This for me is the problem. When I used to do a lot of "proper" User Interface design there was often talk about the challenges of WILI v KISS. Everyone knows KISS, everyone recites it as an empty mantra, but most people end up doing WILI. WILI is "Well I like it" and is used as the rationalisation of lots of bad decisions, with UI design this was added to by the "well Microsoft do that" school of justification (which is fine if you are doing a word extension, but not if you are doing radar displays).
The same WILI and "appeal to authority" approach is part of the great Technology Delusion that runs straight through IT, part of the problem is simply one of talent. If I could have a team in support of Stefan and Mark Baker I'd have no trouble whatsoever doing REST, if I could have Larry Wall in support I'd be reasonably happy to have PERL code there and so the list of the truly talented goes on. Give me Dan Creswell in support and that Jini idea looks fantastic, hell I'd even say go for a massive project using Spring 1.0 if Rod Johnson had to maintain the XML files.
The appeal of dynamic languages to people who genuinely understand how computer systems should work is clearly appealing, as is pushing the bounds of technology and creating new and exciting ways that are just a little bit better than what came before. These are the people to whom IT is an art form, something that requires imagination and craft and to whom that improvement is important as they are trying to push the boundaries.
I've used dynamic languages, I mess around with them on my personal projects, but I never tend to recommend them on projects and indeed actively ban them when I am the architect.
So why do I choose to have strict contracts, static languages, early validation of everything and extremely rigorous standards applied to code, build and test? The answer was nicely highlighted by Bill Roth on his post around JavaOne Day 1, there are SIX MILLION Java developers out there. This is a clearly staggering number and means a few things.
- There are lots of jobs out there in Java
- Lots of those people are going to be rubbish or at least below average
The quality of dynamic language people out there takes a similar profile (as a quick trawl of the groups will show) and here in lies the problem with IT as art. If you have Da Vinci, Monet or even someone half-way decent who trained at the Royal College of Art then the art is pretty damned fine. But would you put a paintbrush in the hand of someone who you have to tell which way round it goes and still expect the same results?
IT as art works for the talented, which means it works as long as the talented are involved. As soon as the average developer comes in it quickly degrades and turns into a hype cycle with no progress and a huge amount of bugs. The top talented people are extremely rare in application support, that is where the average people live and if you are lucky a couple of the "alright" ones.
This is why the engineering and "I don't trust you" approach to IT works well when you consider the full lifecycle of a solution or service. I want enforced contracts because I expect people to do something dumb maybe not on my project but certainly when it goes into support. I want static languages with extra-enforcement because I want to catch the stupidity as quickly as possible.
But most of all I restrict choices because the number of people talented enough to make them is vanishingly small I count myself lucky in my career because I've worked with some pretty spectacular people, but even in the best of cases it was around 10% of the project and in none of the cases did those people more into support. People will no doubt bleat that dynamic interfaces give some sort of increased flexibility, my experience however is that it just leads to a right pain in the arse which is a bitch to debug.
Unfortunately in IT the level of self-perception is not strong so far too many people think they are at the top table when in reality they should be left in the sandpit. This leads to people taking on dynamic languages, late validation, multi-threading, async and the like with a single minded belief that either
- they will do this because Expert X said it was the right thing to do and they worship at the altar of Expert X and even when it sucks they will say "but X says its right so you are wrong"
- They will do something because it looks easy and not understand the consequences
IT as art can be beautiful, but IT as engineering will last.

NEW YORK, March 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
According to a new market report published by Transparency Market Research (http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com) "Pharmacy Automation Systems Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2012 - 2018," the pharmacy automation systems market was valued at USD 4.7 billion in 2011 globally and is expected to grow to USD 7.8 billion by 2018, at a CAGR of 7.3% from 2012 to 2018. Automated technologies in pharmacy operations results in fewer medication errors, reduced medication cost, faster delivery time and enhanced control over pharmacy inventory. These benefits are expected to drive growth throughout the forecast period. In addition, market growth is expected to accelerate due to increasing cost pressure on healthcare providers from mounting regulatory guidelines, rising number of dosage prescriptions and reducing medical reimbursements.
Browse the full report at http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/pharmacy-automation-systems.html
In 2011, the automated medication dispensing systems segment held the largest share in the global pharmacy automation systems market accounting for 48.3% and valued at USD 2.3 billion. The segment is expected to reach USD 3.6 billion by 2018 at a CAGR of 6.7% from 2012 to 2018. Shifting trend from centralized to decentralized or hybrid hospital pharmacy in large sized hospitals to improve the medication distribution process and patient safety is accelerating the demand for these systems. However, reluctance to accept these systems is seen in emerging markets due to its high deployment cost.
The majority of revenue is generated through hospital pharmacies particularly from large sized hospitals with more than 400 beds. Low budget restrains the expenditure of small and mid-sized hospitals to invest in expensive systems. Nevertheless, increasing investment is seen from these hospitals and pharmacists in affordable technologies such as tablet counters and compounding machines. The market is foreseeing considerable expansion due to growth in retail pharmacies and drug store chains in emerging countries with the introduction of FDI in these regions.
Related & Recently Published Reports by Transparency Market Research
The pharmacy automation systems market is currently dominated by North America which accounts for more than half of the global market share, where stringent regulations have increased the adoption of automated systems in hospitals and pharmacies. Although "Rest of the World" region currently holds a small share of the market, it is expected to grow at the fastest rate due to increasing awareness of these technologies and increasing investment in healthcare infrastructure by hospitals and retail pharmacists particularly in Middle-East.
The industry comprises of several established players as well as emerging players specialized in different technologies and solutions. CareFusion Corp is currently dominating the global pharmacy automation systems market. Kirby Lester is the most prominent provider of automated tablet counter systems. Some other key players in the overall pharmacy automation systems market include Omnicell Inc, AmerisourceBergen Corp, McKesson Corp, ScriptPro, Health-Robotics S.R.L and Swisslog Holding Ltd.

Filed under: Toyota, UAW/Unions, Australia
The 2011 labor negotiations between the United Auto Workers and the Detroit Three have been a relatively quiet affair so far, but the story is a bit different on the other side of the globe. Toyota and the Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union aren't seeing eye to eye, which has lead to a strike at facilities in Melbourne and Sydney. Well, most of the union's rank and file are striking.
Australia's The Age reports that 400 of the 3,300 workers have crossed the picket line and returned to work building Camry and Aurion models, and union members are less than thrilled. In fact, striking workers have been less than subtle in threatening those 400 workers, issuing letters calling the line-crossers "f— scabs," and adding "we know where you live."
The threats have not been well-received by union management, with national secretary Dave Smith issuing a statement saying that there was no place for threats and intimidation at work. Still, the line-crossing workers have to feel less than safe after receiving threats like "payback is a bitch three-fold" and "we know what car you drive."
Workers are striking for a 12 percent raise over three years. Toyota has offered an 11 percent raise over 39 months split into four installments. You can check out Toyota's official response to the strike in a statement available after the jump.

My entire life, I had always been a believer in retributive justice. As I began my bachelor's program (Criminal Justice) with a focus on Constitutional Law, I believed that the only problem with the death penalty was that it was applied yet never used; thus rendering any deterrent effect null and void. It was not a diversion for other people.
Now mind you, I have come to different thoughts over the years and no longer believe in the death penalty (except in a very few specific types of DNA verified cases/convictions that I won't go into now). As a MSW student, there was a discussion today in a class that really made me scratch my head. I have processed and researched my way through the notes I took today and offer this: the students at my school are very keen on discussing the prison industrial complex. They have a particularly different insight into it, from a social work perspective as I do, with a criminology perspective. Obviously, we now have different lenses, but I am coming around to some thoughts that are more in line with my true feelings and theirs, I think…
I digress. Damnit.
The point is the case: McCleskey v. Kemp, 481 U.S. 279 (1987) was brought up and I had never heard of it. The 25th anniversary of this ruling just passed. Which I think is interesting given all the media attention of the Trayvon Martin case and what will surely be a pivotal case in the years to come regarding George Zimmerman. In all my classes, in all my laborious years in law offices and school, not once did I hear of McCleskey v. Kemp. WTF
Is it because I went to school in Idaho? I am not sure, but probably.
In case you too, have never heard of it, here is the gist:
Warren McCleskey was a black man who was convicted of killing a white police officer. After being sentenced to death, McCleskey brought to the attention of the court the Baldus study, which showed that black "criminals" with white "victims" were sentenced to death in Georgia 4x more often than black on black criminals. Some results: (CP= Capital Punishment, B = black, W= white)
Defendants who kill W get CP in 11% of cases
Defendants who kill B get CP in 1% of cases
CP in 22% cases of B defendant, W victim
CP in 8% cases of W defendant and W victim
CP in 1% of cases of B defendant and B victim
CP in 3% of cases of W defendant and B victim
So black defendants who kill whites have greatest chance of getting CP.
He implied that this meant that his conviction and sentence violated both the Eighth Amendment and the "equal protection" clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The Supreme Court basically stated that while they were skeptical of the Baldus study, they would apply the findings as rule of law and further stated that they must dismiss evidence of general racial disparities in sentencing, as "an inevitable part of our criminal justice system."
Government sanctioned racial inequities?
Not in 1987.
Not in 2005, not in New Orleans.
I bet we couldn't find 10 examples at least everyday in the last 150 years.
Especially not today.
The US is a "magical place" with roads paved with equality and fairness, intersecting justice.
Boo. Mr. McKleskey was executed by electrocution in 1991. Justice Lewis Powell, Junior, who wrote the opinion in his case wrote later that he regretted his decision and every death penalty opinion after that. Too late for Mr. McKleskey. Investigations later revealed enough evidence to have gotten his case retried, as the confidential informant was a police plant with non-eyewitness information. Too late.
Too many cases are realized wrong, too late. According to the Innocence Project:
There have been 289 post-conviction DNA exonerations in the United States, since 1989.
Races of those 289 exonerees:
180 African Americans
82 Caucasians
21 Latinos
2 Asian American
4 whose race is unknown
I am not insinuating that Warren McKleskey was innocent or that DNA would have exonerated him. I do not know. I am merely using those stats to further illustrate the racial inequities in the judicial system. I could write a blog everyday about judicial inequities.
Capital punishment is not reparative. It is not restorative. It is punitive and retributive. It is revenge.
It is Code of Hammurabi. Eye for an eye. Tooth for a tooth. Life for a life.
Hate Crimes are defined by the FBI as:
"A hate crime is a traditional offense like murder, arson, or vandalism with an added element of bias. For the purposes of collecting statistics, Congress has defined a hate crime as a "criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender's bias against a race, religion, disability, ethnic origin or sexual orientation." Hate itself is not a crime—and the FBI is mindful of protecting freedom of speech and other civil liberties."
I think a definite case could be made that as far as the FBI is concerned, sentencing courts could be guilty of hate crimes. The "supreme" court says racial disparities are "…an inevitable part of our criminal justice system." The death penalty is not restorative justice. It is revenge. It is 4,000 year old bullshit.

Designing a Lucky Life
"Luck is the residue of design." – Branch Rickey
I don't believe that luck is a supernatural thing that we have no control over. It's not represented by four leaf clovers and gold pots at the end of the rainbow.
Luck is simply the result of some of the many random events in life bouncing more in your favor than before.
The best part is that you can make a lot of choices in life that will cause luck to pop up more and more. You can be that lucky person who gets a raise or finds a great job. You can be that person who finds a wonderful life partner. You can be that lucky person who seems to always be able to find the good situations and then take advantage of them.
One of my favorite posts I've ever written for The Simple Dollar was Ten Tactics for Improving Your Luck, which covered ten simple things you can start doing right now to increase the "luckiness" of your life. Here they are again:
1. Keep a notepad and a pen in your pocket at all times.
2. Keep a reasonable amount of cash on you at all times.
3. Don't get into a desperate debt situation.
4. Be social.
5. Establish relationships with many people who share your interests.
6. Help others out when they need it.
7. Shop at places where extreme bargains might be found.
8. Have confidence that you can do something challenging.
9. Know the actual value of lots of items in a particular specialty.
10. When you need something significant, tap your social network instead of buying blindly.
While each of these things are great tactics for increasing the amount of luck in your life, I've found that there are many other things you can do to steadily increase the "luckiness" of your life over time.
I was extremely lucky with the success of The Simple Dollar, for example. There were a lot of things that could have gone wrong with the growth in popularity of the site, but instead they went right. A lot of that was the result of efforts I made along the way, and they're things that anyone can do with almost any aspect of their life to drastically increase the amount of "luck" that comes their way.
Most of these things are what I call "life design" choices. They're things you actively do in your life as part of a daily routine. They're just how you do things, and over time, they produce opportunities and "luck."
These tactics take time and diligence, and at first you won't see immediate rewards for them. The rewards come in slowly, but when they start coming in, they often snowball.
1. Do the task in front of you as well as you can, no matter how mundane it is.
When you're faced with a mundane task, it is incredibly easy to somewhat blow it off and do it without focus. You'll type a simple report while your mind wanders elsewhere. You'll sweep the floor while thinking about what you want to be doing this weekend.
The thing is that others notice our half-effort. When we submit a half-baked report, the person receiving it can tell – and that reflects on you. When we don't sweep the floor well, the building manager notices that the floor is still dirty – and that reflects on you.
A much better approach is to strive to do every task well. Sure, sweeping that floor is boring, but doing it well means that at worst it won't be noticed and at best, if it's noticed, it reflects well on you.
Yes, many of the mundane tasks you do won't be noticed by others. It's not those times that matter. No matter how well or how poorly you do a mundane task, it probably won't be noticed.
However, every once in a while, it will be noticed, and that occasional notice will go a long way toward shaping how others treat you in the workplace and in life. If you're seen doing excellent work, you become known for doing excellent work, and others will come to you for help with things.
This has happened with me many different times in my life. My efforts at my first college job led to a much better job. My efforts at my second job directly led to my first post-college career path. These things didn't just happen because opportunities fell from the sky. They happened because I put forth a lot of effort on mundane tasks, and those efforts were noticed by others.
2. Never eat alone.
Dinner conversation is a great opportunity to build a connection with the people you're dining with. It's a great opportunity for conversation of all kinds.
Every single meal you eat is an opportunity for this type of conversation. A meal eaten alone is a missed opportunity to build a relationship.
If you don't have an immediate opportunity to eat a meal with someone, what can you do? I highly recommend inviting people to dine with you. See if someone wants to eat together, particularly someone that is doing something that is of interest to you.
I also highly recommend eating with a variety of people. Sure, dining with the same old gang is fun, but dinner guests allow you to build new relationships, as do new breakfast and lunch partners.
3. Never speak negatively of others.
I've been in countless social situations where someone is being talked about negatively, usually behind their back. Almost every time, the person I end up disliking isn't the person who's being discussed, but the people who are talking. Who wants to be around a person who is just slamming someone else, particularly behind their back?
I know I'm far from alone in feeling that way. Backstabbing and negative talk about others is just a big turn-off for me, so I strive to never, ever do it. (I usually succeed, but not always.)
What do you do when there's a negative conversation about someone? I usually avoid it. If I'm drawn in, I usually just say the person isn't all that bad and try to come up with something positive to say about them.
Over time, people realize that you're not going to knock them down behind their back – and they come to respect and value that.
It's all about reputation, and you want a positive one. The best way you can do it is to not push others down – because you often fall right down with them.
4. Cultivate skills during your spare time.
Few people are luckier than those who can step up with a needed skill in an important situation. The people that are able to do this are highly valued and opportunities come their way all the time.
Of course, the way to be in that situation as often as possible is to have a plethora of skills. The more things you can do, the more often you'll be the person who can provide the right skill in a necessary situation.
Spending your spare time building skills is a strongly effective use of your time. Learn how to play a musical instrument. Learn how to fix a hole in drywall. Learn how to dismantle a PC and replace the parts in it. Learn how to fix an overflowing toilet. Learn how to replace a bathtub drain. Learn how to properly fix the printers in your workplace. The list goes on and on.
Each of those skills can pop up at a key moment when you really need it. There are always opportunities where a particular skill will come through, and the more skills you have, the more likely you are to be able to jump on an opportunity when it arises.
Call it luck if you will, but I call it preparation.
5. Ask questions.
A question is a beautiful thing.
It represents interest in the subject.
It represents interest in the person presenting the subject.
It represents involvement in the moment.
It represents a desire to learn and to gain knowledge.
These elements combine to make a question into a very valuable thing.
Questions can launch new areas of discussion in workplace meetings. Questions can show your interest in another person or in a topic. Questions can get a dying conversation back on a lively track.
Questions can be the glue that binds together personal and professional relationships, and those relationships are often the ones that carry opportunities to your door.
6. Get involved in the community.
I've been involved in several different community organizations over the years.
Simply because of that involvement, I see people I know all the time as I walk around town. I've been invited to dinners and eaten countless free meals. I've been offered some employment opportunities, as well as several different opportunities to promote my books. My kids have received free music lessons and many other nice opportunities.
That's on top of the benefits I get strictly from community involvement, where I know I'm giving my time to help out a worthwhile cause.
Opportunities rain down on you when you have a lot of community connections, and community involvement is a great way to build a lot of connections.
7. Know your neighbors.
Much like community involvement, knowing your neighbors provides many different opportunities that might not otherwise come your way.
A good relationship with our neighbors has meant an extra set of eyes on our home when we travel. It has meant children watched in emergencies and meals prepared when people are sick.
Even more important, it has meant that some potential employment opportunities have been passed along, as well as news of a few estate auctions where huge bargains were found.
Your neighbors live in the same area you do, but their experiences do not necessarily overlap your own. A good relationship with them means exposure to many more opportunities all around you. Don't miss out.
8. Be humble.
How can you put humility into immediate practice? Minimize the number of times you use the word "I" in conversation.
If you avoid the word "I," the conversation won't focus on you. You won't find yourself monologuing on things that matter only to you.
Instead, the conversation will more naturally steer itself to other people and to the interests you share. That's a conversation that more people are going to want to participate in.
In other words, by using less of the word "I," you attract more people – and attracting more people means attracting more opportunities.
9. Be generous.
Give of yourself. Give your time. Give your talent. Give your money. Don't expect anything in return when you give.
The most amazing thing happens when you give. You feel pretty good about yourself, for one, and that reflects out into the rest of your life.
At the same time, others notice your generosity and still others notice that you're happy about life.
The end result? You attract other generous and happy people into your life. They just enter naturally, and before you know it, your social circle begins to fill with people who are just as interested in helping you as you are in helping them. That creates opportunity for everyone.
10. Don't spend time or money on events of pure chance.
Spend your time, money, and energy on things that actually return some sort of positive result for you – or at least have a strong chance of doing so.
Buying a lottery ticket might feel like taking a chance on a dream, but that five dollar bill is much better spent saving up for schooling or paying off a little bit of debt or buying a book at a used book sale.
Instead of looking at money and time as something you can purely take a chance with, look at each moment and each dollar as an opportunity maker. What can those minutes and dollars do to help you build a sustainably better life? What can that time and that money do to build your skills or reduce your financial footprint or put you in a situation to grow a social network or help the community around you grow?
The more you commit to spending your time, energy, and money in that way, the more you open the door for real opportunities to come into your life.

A high temperature could be a sign of a hidden infection. This could be harmful to your baby so it is important to get it checked out.
If you have a mild fever it is safe to take paracetamol. Make sure you follow the instructions on the packet for how much you can take. Try to take the lowest dose of paracetamol that works and for the shortest amount of time.
There are some painkillers you should not take while you're pregnant. These include:
- tablets or capsules that contain added caffeine (sometimes sold with 'extra' on the label)
- tablets or capsules that contain codeine
- anti-inflammatory tablets or capsules, like ibuprofen or aspirin.
Some women may be advised to take a low dose of aspirin as a treatment if they have had miscarriages before or they are at risk of pre-eclampsia. It should not be taken as treatment for a fever or headache.

Elevated temps first weeks of pregnancy
By Diana (not verified) on 4 Jul 2019 - 00:53
I've been feeling warm since about the 4th week of pregnancy and my temps (taken orally) have ranged 37.2-37.8 when I've checked. I don't have any flu or fever symptoms but I'm really concerned about neural tube defects since the worried tube develops during these early weeks. Is this legitimate concern or are somewhat elevated temps in early pregnancy normal?
Thank you!!

By Sunny (not verified) on 5 Dec 2019 - 02:48
Hi Victoria. The yellow stuffs is usually stomach acid and the blood along with it is because you vomited with force. It's perfectly normal. Try to eat or drink something before this happens next time.

High temperature and virus
By Rachel Newbury (not verified) on 16 Feb 2019 - 18:38
I have had a temperature of between 38.5 and 38.9 for the past two days accompanied by flu like symptoms. I went to the hospital and saw a doctor who advised me I had a virus, and said just to rest and drink lots of fluids and that it wouldn't harm the baby.
I know he is a medical professional, but I still can't help feeling like it may still have some sort of negative impact, as paracetamol is not bringing my temp down.
High temperature and virus
By Midwife @Tommys on 20 Feb 2019 - 15:14
Hi Rachel
If you are still not feeling better by now, four days after you sent this message, then please do go into your maternity unit to be reviewed again by a midwife and Dr. You may have an infection requiring antibiotics if you have a persistent fever. Take care, Tommy's Midwife

Hi, I'm 15 weeks and 5 days pregnant and had flu with 38.7 degree celsius last night. I also have cough and colds for few days already. I'm so worried, will my condition cause physical or mental defects for my baby?
Many thanks.
Hi - Thank you for your
By Midwife @Tommys on 31 Jan 2019 - 09:19
Hi - Thank you for your message. Please try not to worry, most women get some form of cold/cough at some stage in their pregnancy. Coughs and colds are not known to have a negative impact on babys development and growth.
Rest up, take in plenty of fluids and see how you feel over the net few days.
If the fever lasts 48-72 hours and did not come down to below 37.5 with paracetamol in that time, then you should to your GP who may refer you either to your local early pregnancy unit, or A&E if they are really worried
High fever
By Frida (not verified) on 30 Jan 2019 - 05:03
Hi there
I had the flu
And when I was sick with the flu I had a fever of 39
And they say you shouldn't have a fever of 38 or higher in early pregnancy..especially during 5-7 weeks
And I had the fever when I was 5 1/2 to 6 1/2 weeks pregnant
I heard if you have it for 4 or more hours it may boost the risk of heart defects and facial deformities such as cleft lip or palate
I was sleeping almost that whole day and My husband came home and checked my temperature and it was 39
But I dont know how long it was that high
Should I be really worried
I am currently 12-13 weeks pregnant
And I already had a miscarriage before this one - so I really want everything to be okay this time around
Tomorrow I have my first trimester screening- will that be able to tell me anything
High Fever
By Midwife @Tommys on 30 Jan 2019 - 15:03
Hi Frida,
You can speak to the sonographer tomorrow about your concerns and if they are concerned by what they see on scan, then you might be referred to be seen by a consultant in the fetal medicine unit.
You can also talk to your midwife about this when you next see her if your scan looks to be completely normal.
If you need any further support or advice, please feel free to get in touch via midwife email or our helpline. All the best, Tommy's Midwife

hi,caught a cold /flu
By Midwife @Tommys on 12 Sep 2018 - 14:31
The only over the counter medication recommended for use in pregnancy is Paracetamol 500mg tablets-recommended dose is 1-2 tablets up to 4 times in every 24 hours-at least 4-6 hours between doses. The following link has more information for you-
As your temperature is below 38.0c further paracetamol is not advised.
If it's not effective or you are concerned about your symptoms please contact your GP
Take care

Am I in labour
By Dom (not verified) on 12 Aug 2018 - 16:37
33+5wks pregnant. 2nd pregnancy (nothing like the 1st)
Already been told I won't make it to 37wks. Currently experiencing painful tightenings (although this has been the case since 28weeks told i have Braxton hicks).
Temperature 37.6, painful tightenings, headaches and feeling nauseous (Was actually throwing up yesterday in the early hours of the morning). Finding it difficult to eat anything. How will I know if I'm in labour with all that has been going on in the past weeks?
Am i in labour
By Midwife @Tommys on 15 Aug 2018 - 14:24
Hi Dom
If you have not already done so, then please go urgently to your local hospital maternity triage/labour ward for urgent assessment in view of your temperature, vomiting and headaches especially. Your contractions will also need to be reviewed.
You are not yet term and this means that you could be at risk of having a premature birth if you are not checked over by a midwife and doctor at the hospital.
Please take good care of yourself

For the last 12 hours I have had a mild fever of around 38 degrees which is not coming down with parcetamol or from cool bathing.

Mild fever when 8 weeks pregnant
By Midwife @Tommys on 26 Jul 2018 - 12:17
Hi Anne
If the fever lasts 48-72 hours and did not come down to below 37.5 with paracetamol in that time, then you should to your GP who may refer you either to your local early pregnancy unit, or A&E if they are really worried. I hope that by now you are feeling better, but if this is not the case, then please seek additional medical care. Please ensure that you stay well hydrated with plenty of water (2-3 litres per day)

High temp and stomach ache
By Nand (not verified) on 16 Jul 2018 - 20:03
I am 30 weeks pregnant and have been suffering with really bad lower stomach pains, morstly aching with some sharp shooting pains, since yesterday. I am definitely finding walking hard and picking up my 19 month old near impossible. Now feelong light headed and have a temp of 37.7. Should I be concerned or just take some paracetamol and rest?
Many thanks
High temp and stomach ache
By Midwife @Tommys on 18 Jul 2018 - 12:24
Hi Nand
You need to go into your local hospital to be seen by a midwife and obstetric doctor as soon as possible please!
Abdominal pains, at any gestation, need to be investigated each time they offer to be proven normal. And you have a raised temperature, which could be a sign of an infection if it does not go down with taking 1g paracetamol. Please prioritize yourself and be seen today if you have not done so already
All the best
Sophie,Tommy's Midwife
Low fever for few days
By Sinead (not verified) on 17 May 2018 - 12:22
Just finished a 7 day course of antibiotics for UTI, have had temp past few days ranging from 37.7-38.1, hasn't gone under 37.7 even with paracetamol and feeling flush / unwell. I am leaving a urine sample in tomorrow to check UTI is fully cleared, should I be worried about a low fever lasting a while? Can it be harmful to my baby? Thank you
Low fever for few days
By Midwife @Tommys on 17 May 2018 - 14:07
Hi Sinead,
We would ideally like your temperature to be between 36 and 37, so having a temperature that is not resolving with paracetomol does need to be assessed. You don't say how may weeks pregnant you are but in any case we would recommend that you see a doctor. They may need to take some bloods to check for any underlining infection that is causing your temperature to remain high.
If you cannot see you GP then you can always contact your local maternity unit, explain to them that you have a temperature which has not being resolving with paracetomol and that you have had a recent UTI, it may be that you need intravenous antibiotics to treat the infection and this can happen at times so please don't be alarmed.
Keep drinking plenty of fluids and rest well, but call your GP or maternity unit so that you can be assessed and treated if needed. Hope this helps, Take care, Tommy's Midwives x

As the fear of inflation rattles Wall Street, Politico asks if we're seeing the return of the "bond vigilantes" — investors who drive up interest rates by selling bonds when they think inflation is rising and threatening to eat into their profits.
Milan Dalal, a former Senate staffer, told Politico that "The recent sell-off demonstrates the pass the bond market gave the U.S. over fiscal profligacy is coming to an end. For the past decade, the bond market has ignored our debt burden because we were the only growth game (however anemic) in the developed world. Combined with the dollar's reserve currency status, investors had no choice if they wanted growth and safety but to buy dollars and hold down rates. Now that Europe and Japan are recovering, there are other options. Add to that the massive tax cut — likely well beyond $1.5 trillion addition to the deficit — and the bond market is appropriately demanding higher interest rates."

Adam Anonymou$:
It shouldn't have happened like this. Pinpointing a particular event that changed your life sounds like the pretentious hellspawn of all humanity's interest in self-analysing voyeurism. But musical epiphanies are made easy to spot when bands are kind enough to give you no choice than to change your tastes. Despite a totally inauspicious setting – the beautiful confines of Hereford Leisure Centre – September 1998 became a turning point. The Manic Street Preachers were the reason for even fucking being there. Maybe they'll play some stuff off 'The Holy Bible', perhaps Richey could turn up for a jam, it should be fun. Yeah, RIGHT. First there was the small matter of a Scottish band called Mogwai, who somewhat strangely had been handpicked as tour support. Strange when you consider, by all available accounts, that they blew the hosts off stage all tour. Strange to see the pure anguish on kiddie eyeliner-n-feather boa Manics fans, fingers to ears, RUNNING out of the mosh pit, itself rendered static by unadulterated air-guzzling feedback. Strange that, having started the show clad in homemade president masks, Mogwai overrun and incur the wrath of MSP stage security; guitarist John Cummings is THAT close to forcible removal having spent 15 minutes individually de-stringing his instrument. Onlookers are stunned, shocked. Mogwai have never bettered this moment. I, meanwhile, have just been saved from a lifetime of indie noncery.
Raziq Rauf:
I liked to play computer games. I still do. My sister's room was just down the passage. I always heard her music coming through the wafer thin doors. I didn't like it. I didn't dislike it. It was just there - always in the background: Alice in Chains and Pantera, then Blind Melon and Metallica, then later on Menswear and Oasis. Surely then, you might think, that the subliminal soaking my mind took would have created some sort of crazy rock monster. Me? Never. Then she left. I had to find my own music. I now realised that I needed music. Always. I barely functioned without it. I struggle to function without it. Such a dependency on something so material? It may sound absurd to you but that auditory battering my unconscious took was to stay with me forever. You will rarely find me now where there is quiet. My peace and quiet involves the music that I find to be peaceful; that I find to be my quiet. My mother disagrees. The material aspect was never an issue for me. It was never about style. It was never a craze. Fads are for losers. I'm me. Not my music.
Chris Nettleton:
I went to see the 'Chili Peppers on their Blood Sugar Sex Magik Tour in the early 90's. Supporting was Henry Rollins, promoting his album 'End Of Silence'. I'd read a lot about him in the music press, and expected intensity from the word go, but he disarmed us all by bounding on stage like an enthusiastic schoolkid, and it was only when the music started that he proceeded to move me in a way I had never thought possible. I'd felt a lump in my throat before, sure, and laughed or perhaps felt an irrepressible smile launch from my lips, but this was different. Perhaps it was because of his very real trauma at losing his best friend, Joe Cole, shot in front of his eyes during an armed robbery, and the way he subsequently went on and on about how we should rejoice at being alive.... and the way it turned his raging hardcore howls into primal events, matters of real life and real death... or maybe it was the way it was magnified by the incredible synergy of the band, the way they would seamlessly and instantly turn from whisper to firestorm without any apparent timing cue... I don't know. All I do know is that I left feeling as if I had been lowered into a blast furnace to taste the heat of Rollins' catharsis and found a new way to be awed.
Jane Oriel:
From a complete standing start, last November a friend told me solemnly "You, of all people, must own Songs:Ohia - The Lioness". Having nothing but a tentative trust in an opinion I did as I was bid, knowing and expecting nothing. Once home, the jewel box glinted at me whenever I passed where it sat during the remaining daylight hours. When full darkness fell, I set about my ritual. One by one, candles flickered into life within my room, then when all was quiet and readied, I lay down to wait for The Lioness. Sparse acoustic guitar, then a voice to carve up the soul. I'm frail and trembling as the aura begins to seize, then gently force itself into my mind. One by one, songs pour into the ground simple, but oh so complex, details about keeping a love affair alive. "The heart is a risky fuel to burn." Unsought for feelings of inadequacy in the shadow of a strong, determined woman - the Redhead - come spilling forth. Words gnarled through painful and incisive truths are free falling around my ears, leaving nowhere to hide. Instinctively, I sit up with elbows forced down between knees as fingers grasp for each other, grasping hair behind my head. Eyes search feverishly a darkened ceiling, registering nothing, then on my side, foetal with knees pulled rapidly to my ribs to protect a now gaping hole. "I want my last look to be the moon in your eyes." I'm distraught but warmed. As unexpected as kindness from a stranger, and just as treasured.
More personal accounts will be coming your way in Part 2, next week.
