Postoperative hyperthyroidism occurs in approximately one third of patients following parathyroidectomy due to primary hyperparathyroidism (PHP), but has only rarely been described in secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHP). The frequency, course, and laboratory markers of postoperative hyperthyroidism in SHP remain unknown. Our purpose was to evaluate the frequency and the clinical course of postoperative hypcrthyroidism following surgery of SHP and to determine the diagnostic value of thyroglobulin in this setting.
Material and Methods
A total of 40 patients undergoing parathyroidectomy because of SHP were included in this study. Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free triiodothyronine (fT3), free thyroxine (fl4), and thyroglobulin (Tg) were determined one day before and on day 1, 3, 5, 10, and 40 after surgery. At each of these visits patients were clinically evaluated for signs or symptoms of hyperthyroidism.
Biochemical evidence of hyperthyroidism was evident in 77% of patients postoperatively despite of preoperatively normal serum levels. TSH dropped from 1.18 ± 0.06mU/L to 0.15 ± 0.07mU/L (p = 0.0015). Free triiodothyronine (fT3) and fT4 levels increased from 2.86 ± 0.02ng/L and 10.32 ± 0.13ng/L, respectively, to their maximum of 4.83 ± 0.17ng/L and 19.35 ± 0.58ng/L, respectively. Thyroglobulin levels rose from 3.8 ± 0.8ng/mL to 111.8 ± 45.3ng/mL (p < 0.001). At day 40 all thyroid related laboratory values were within normal range. Correlation analysis of postoperative values revealed significant correlations for lowest TSH (r = -0.32; p = 0.038), and highest fT3 (r = 0.55; p < 0.001) and fT4 levels (r = 0.67; p < 0.001) with Tg.
Transient hyperthyroidism is frequent after parathyroidectomy for SHP with Tg being a suitable marker. Awareness of this self-limiting disorder is important to avoid inappropriate and potentially harmful treatment.

Nearly all patients with chronic renal failure on longterm hemodiatysis develop secondary hyperparathyroidism due impaired renal function resulting in a deficiency of l,25-deoxycholecalciferol [1]. Tn most of these patients secondary hyperparathyroidism can be managed by medical therapy. However, in approximately 5% of these patients' longstanding secondary hyperparathyroidism progresses into an autonomous function of parathyroid cells, hypercalcemia and an inability of vitamin D analogues to suppress parathyroid hormone despite increasing serum calcium levels [2]. In these patients parathyroidectomy is the only effective treatment. The fact that four-gland hyperplasia is most commonly observed in these patients necessitates intraoperative evaluation of all four parathyroid glands with total or subtotal parathyroidectomy in these patients [2–4].
Postoperative hyperthyroidism is a complication occurring after parathyroidectomy in primary hyperparathyroidism (PHP) [5–11], and is attributed to palpation thyroiditis [12]. Palpation thyroiditis histologically imposes as a multifocal granulomatous folliculitis, which is a common finding following intraoperative manipulation of the thyroid gland. Palpation thyroiditis is supposed to result from traumatic injury or rupture of isolated thyroid follicles caused by pressure on the gland [12]. Two studies evaluated newly diagnosed hyperthyroidism following surgery in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHP) [6, 8]. Abnormal blood values of TSH, fT3, or fT4 indicating postoperative hyperthyroidism were observed in 31.2% and 42.3% of patients, respectively, in these studies. Furthermore, 15.0% and 34.6% of patients, respectively, reported symptoms of hyperthyroidism one to two weeks after operation [6, 8]. A marker of thyroid trauma has not been reported hitherto, but thyreoglobulin, presumably being released from the injured thyroid follicles, may be a suitable marker.
Only few case studies report the occurrence of postoperative hyperthyroidism in renal patients undergoing parathyroidectomy because of SHP [9–11]. Up to now the frequency and natural course of postoperative hyperthyroidism remains unknown in these patients. We hypothesize that the frequency of postoperative hyperthyroidism is even higher compared to patients with PHP due to the intraoperative preparation of all four glands associated with an increased manipulation of the thyroid gland. Hence we prospectively enrolled 40 consecutive haemodialysis patients undergoing parathyroidectomy because of SHP at the University Hospital of Heidelberg. The frequency, duration and severity of postoperative hyperthyroidism as well as the diagnostic value of thyroglobulin (Tg) as a marker for postoperative hyperthyroidism were evaluated in this study.
This prospective monocentric trial was performed in forty consecutive patients undergoing parathyroidectomy because of SHP at the surgical department of the University Hospital of Heidelberg. The study was approved by the local ethics committee, and all patients gave written informed consent. The study was conducted from April 2008 to January 2009. Patients were eligible for the study if they had SHP. Exclusion criteria were preoperative thyroid medication, known thyroid dysfunction, or prior thyroid or parathyroid surgery. Further, only patients without clinical suspicion or a history of concomitant autoimmune thyroiditis were included. Therefore, in the first ten patients this approach was evaluated with determining TSH receptor [TRA], thyroperoxidase [TPOA], and thyroglobulin [TgA] antibodies [13]. Hyperthyroidism was biochemically defined as serum TSH below 0.40 mU/L.
Operative Management
All procedures were performed under general anaesthesia and orotracheal intubation. Following a Kocher incision, preparation and mobilisation of the thyroid and parathyroid glands, all four parathyroid glands were identified and removed. Intraoperative serum PTH measurements were performed to assure that all parathyroid glands had been removed. After frozensection confirmation, an autotransplantation into the tibialis muscle was performed. Intravenous gluconate calcium was administered after the last parathyroid removal to prevent severe hypocalcaemia.
Perioperative Management
Patients were evaluated by an endocrinologist at visits one day before and on day 1, 3, 5, 10, and 40 after surgery. Typically, patients were discharged from the hospital on day 5 and returned on day 10 and 40 after operation to the outpatients' clinic of the Department of Endocrinology. At each visit blood was taken and patients were evaluated by an endocrinologist. Patients were queried with open-ended questions regarding problems, symptoms, and insomnia. Their pulse, weight, and blood pressure were recorded. The physician was unaware of the laboratory test results when recording the patients history and performing the clinical evaluation. At each visit a full thyroid function test panel was obtained (TSH, free triiodothyronine [fT3], free thyroxine [fT4]) and thyroglobulin [Tg]). Patients were maintained post-operatively on calcium and calcitriol to avoid hypocalcaemia.
Seventeen patients suffering from hyperthyroidism due to other causes (Graves' disease: n = 7, autonomous thyroid adenoma: n = 10) were recruited at the outpatients' clinic of the Department of Endocrinology serving as non-operative control group. Blood was taken at fasting state at 8:00 in the morning. Diagnoses were made according to the current guidelines.
Results of biochemical measurements are expressed as median ± standard error of the mean (s.e.m.) and Mann-Whitney U test for unmatched, nonparametric continuous variables was used for statistical comparisons. Results of frequencies and rates are given as mean with the corresponding 95% confidence interval and the chi-square test (χ2) for univariate analysis of categorical data was used. P-values <0.05 were considered statistically significant.
Patients' characteristics of all 39 patients undergoing parathyroidal surgery are displayed.

This study shows that biochemical signs of hyperthyroidism are frequently observed in the immediate days after successful and otherwise uncomplicated parathyroidectomy due to SHP. Further, the results indicate that Tg is a suitable marker supporting the diagnoses of postoperative hyperthyroidism.
Up to now, only a few case reports described transient hyperthyroidism following surgery for SHP [7, 9–11]. This is the first prospective study evaluating the frequency and natural course of postoperative hyperthyroidism in patients with SHP. Compared to studies evaluating patients undergoing parathyroidal surgery due to primary PHP [6, 8] we observed a much higher frequency of postoperative hyperthyroidism. The rate of postoperative hyperthyroidism following parathyroidal surgery for PHP ranges between 31% and 42% [6, 8], while in our cohort 30 of 39 patients (77%) developed postoperative hyperthyroidism. Being a monocentric study we can not fully exclude that this effect might be caused due to different operation procedures differing between the study centres. However, it is more likely that the higher incidence rate reflects the different surgical approach of PHP and SHP. In contrast to PHP, where only one preoperatively localized parathyroid gland has to be removed, in patients with SHP all four glands have to be removed [2], resulting in more extensive manipulation of the thyroid gland in traop era tiveiy. Because of the non-daily performed laboratory controls of thyroid function it can not be fully excluded that some subclinical and only moderate cases of hyperthyroidism might have been missed in the current study. Therefore, the rate of hyperthyroidism might even be higher than 80% in patients operated for SHP.
One may hypothesize that the observed postoperative hyperthyroidism is unrelated to intraoperative thyroid manipulation itself and rather caused e.g. by general anaesthesia agents or perioperative stress. However, this possibility was already ruled out by Lindblom and colleagues who evaluated patients undergoing surgical procedures other than parathyroidectomy [6]. In patients after breast cancer operation they observed a decrease of TSH paralleled by a concomitant decrease of the peripheral hormones fT3 and fT4 [6]. This phenomenon is known as "non thyroidal illness syndrome" and has been attributed to an acute phase response mainly seen in severely? diseased patients [13]. Consistent with the data by Lindblom et al. we failed to observe postoperative hyperthyroidism with an increase of fT3 and/or fT4 in patients undergoing operative procedures outside the neck (data not shown).
An unresolved issue is why 23% of the patients did no develop postoperative hyperthyroidism within the current study. One potential explanation is differences in the anatomical situs, e.g. different size or shape of the thyroid gland. Indeed, variations of the thyroid size or shape have been demonstrated to affect thyroid pathologies associated with parathyroidectomy [14]. Unfortunately a preoperative ultrasound of the thyroid gland was not obtained in our study, and hence this issue needs to be addressed in future studies.
The time course and spontaneous resolution of hyperthyroidism in this study are consistent with surgical trauma being the primary cause of postoperative thyrotoxicosis [4, 5, 8, 11]. Following surgical trauma one would expect an increase within the first days postoperatively and, based on the half-life (fT4: 8 days), biochemical persistence for up to four weeks [15]. Spontaneous resolution after forty days, as observed in the current study in all patients, can be expected in these patients. If hyperthyroidism persists beyond forty days after surgery it is mandatory to search for other causes of hyperthyroidism, e.g. Graves' disease or autonomous thyroid adenoma, because these conditions require a different therapeutic approach, including thyroid suppressive drugs.
Interestingly, despite biochemical evidence for hyperthyroidism in more than three quarters of all patients, hyperthyroid symptoms were less frequent and rather mild. Eighteen patients (46.2%) complained about hyperthyroid symptoms, mainly diarrhoea and tremulousness. Since post-operative hyperthyroidism is not caused by an enhanced production but by an increased TSH receptor independent release of thyroid hormones secondary to surgical trauma, thyroid suppressive drugs are not indicated, although this has been proposed by others [6]. However, (β-blockers may be appropriate for marked symptomatic thyrotoxicosis and are strongly recommended and indicated especially if the patient suffers from coronary heart disease [16, 17]. Consistently, thyroid suppressive medication (e.g. carbimazole) was not started in any patients in the current study and all thyroid blood values returned to normal values. However, symptomatic treatment with propranolol was required in one patient because of symptomatic tachycardia.
Furthermore, our results suggest that Tg is a suitable marker in diagnosing palpation thyroiditis. Thyroglobulin is a large molecule with a molecular weight of 330 kD. It is solely expressed in the thyroid gland, lodinated Tg is stored in the lumen of the thyroid follicles and serves as thyroid hormone storage protein. Thyroglobulin levels in the plasma are low in healthy individuals and only elevated following injury of follicles, e.g. in thyroid cancer or Grave's disease [18, 19].
Thyroglobulin elevation correlates very well with postoperative hyperthyroidism in the current study. Further, the comparison of Tg values of hyperthyroid SHP patients with Tg values in patients with hyperthyroidism due to other causes showed a good sensitivity and specificity using a cut-off value of 90 ng/mL. Therefore, elevated Tg after parathyroid surgery, especially when higher than 90 ng/mL, supports the diagnosis of a postoperative transitory palpation thyroiditis. Future studies are required to confirm the cut-off level defined in this study.
In conclusion, parathyroidectomy in patients with SHP causes frequently postoperative hyperthyroidism with transient hyperthyroidism, most likely reflecting palpation thyroiditis. Further, Tg is marker aiding the diagnoses of palpation thyroiditis. Awareness of this self-limiting disorder is important to avoid inappropriate and potentially harmful treatment to the patients. When necessary, (β-blockers may be required to control symptoms of hyperthyroidism, but treatment with thyrostatic drugs is not indicated.

I was there, on the inside, in 1986, with the Knesset's Interior Committee on its famous tour when we were later attacked by a mob of Muslims, throwing rocks and yelling Itbah El-Yahud ('Kill the Jews'). It was a melee and I had to rush/run Geula Cohen north to the Tribes of Israel Gate to get out safely:-
About 15 parliament members, including members of the Knesset Interior Committee and the right-wing Tehiya Party, toured the site protected by hundreds of white-helmeted riot police carrying clubs and plastic shields. Witnesses said hundreds of police fended off the demonstrators, who surrounded the Knesset members and chanted, ``With blood and fire we shall redeem you, Al Aqsa.``
More below on this.
Lenny Ben-David has now posted two pictures taken probably in the early 1930s:
The first shows the passageway leading away from it under El-Aqsa:
The second, shows a lintel portion and column head:
Much renovation work was done after the 1927 earthquake.
Here's a screen snap of the southern wall just from the inside today, from a clip showing a column head and the window facing south:-
If its the same column, the head has been damaged.
This is the area I'm referring to (outlined in yellow), from Warren's sketch:
The Hulda Gate is the first of a series of three, on the left of the marked box.
A bit more detailed:
This is the best source - R. W. Hamilton, The Structural History of the Aqsa Mosque. A Record of Archaeological Gleanings from the Repairs of 1938-42, Government of Palestine, Jerusalem 1949. And the Mandate-period Quarterly of the Department of Archaeology in Palestine. Both located in libraries.
Here's a short clip of the current entrance although that green doorway is the the same.
As for that 1987 visit, here's from the JTA report:
...Likud MK Dov Shilansky, and Laborite member Dov BenMeir over whether the Moslem religious authorities were altering the area in violation of the law.
Shilansky, an outspoken advocate of the right of Jews to worship on the Mount, which is the site of two of the holiest shrines of the Islamic faith, claimed he discovered that the Supreme Moslem Council and the Waqf -- the Moslem Religious Trust which is caretaker of the shrines -- were converting an underground area known as Solomon's Stables into a giant mosque with room for 100,000 worshippers.
He accused the Waqf of building unauthorized prayer platforms on the Mount and destroying archaeological evidence of the Jewish past But the worst violation, he said, was the attempt to build a new religious center for Moslems from all over the world in Solomon's Stables. "I don't understand why they need a mosque for 100,000 people. This is 10 times bigger than Al Aksa," Shilansky said...
Ben-Meir, who is a Deputy Speaker of the Knesset, said the only evidence of change he saw on the tour of Solomon's Stables was the installation of electric lighting. He charged that the visit by the Knesset committee was intended by the rightwing parties to show the Moslems that the Jews are "the boss" on the Temple Mount. He said it was an example of extremists on both sides joining to "put fuel on the fire."
Mayor Teddy Kollek of Jerusalem also questioned the wisdom of the visit. He called it "headline hunting." He said there was no evidence of any illegal construction on the Temple Mount.
Shilansky led a group of Knesset members and Orthodox Jewish activists on a visit to the Temple Mount several years ago. They were surrounded by a hostile crowd and had to be extricated by police. There were no incidents during Tuesday's visit. Police guards outnumbered the Knesset members.
And AP.
We all know who was right and correct - Shilansky.

We've talked before about how the gold market might be manipulated. And if you search the Internet you'll find just about every theory imaginable – sane, crazy, or kooky. The question everyone wants to know is this:
What does the Gold Enthusiast think about the possibility of gold manipulation by the Chinese?
Rather than write a 20-page paper explaining everything, I'll just give you a few top-line views, two bottom line possibilities and let you think about it.
First the top line. Historically the Chinese are known for their long-term outlook. Remember this is the country that invented Go, possibly the most complicated strategy board game mankind has devised. (By specifying "board game" we exclude international politics, which is by far the biggest game in the world.) Successful strategies in Go all revolve around long-term preservation of assets while maneuvering for a strategic advantage. So where Western culture might encourage one to go after a short-term gain, in Go-thinking you would only do that if the result was also to your long-term advantage.
Logically we want to apply that way of thinking to the gold market. What would be the best long-term result for a country in terms of gold?
Well, to quote an American saying, More Is Better. Certainly when you're talking about valuable assets, having more available is better than having less available, given that the asset in this case has unlimited shelf life. (Unlike food and such, gold doesn't rot away over time.)
So the goal would be to pile up as much as possible. And that's exactly what we see China doing. Chinese national policy is that gold has a one way street – In. There is no Out for gold once it gets into China; they don't sell their national store of gold, nor do they loan it out (yet). All Gold Stays In China.

The tour departs from Accademia, just in front of the famous "Galleries" that host a very rich collection of Venetian paintings, facing the Grand Canal.
Riding along the San Trovaso canal we admire the Church of San Trovaso with its classical Palladian style. Nearby the Church we can see the famous Squero of San Trovaso which is a quaint, historic boatyard where gondolas are made. Along Rio San Trovaso in a suggestive position dating back to the seventeenth century, is one of the few dry docks still in operation in Venice. Formerly used for the construction of all types of vessels , dry docks today limit their activity to the production and repair of the gondolas.
The tour in gondola continues along a quiet residential area of Dorsoduro and admiring its beautiful Venetian Palaces in Gothic and Renaissance style. Returning back to the Grand Canal, we see Palazzo Grassi, a large museum, host of many modern art exhibitions and, Cà Foscari which hosts the main offices the Venice University.
The tour ends back at the original departure point.

To get June started off right, I'm linking up with Farley for her June Currently. I love this link up, click on my Currently to head over to her blog and see the others who have joined up.
Follow my blog with Bloglovin
Hey Stacy, just wondering if the end of Google Reader means that we can't follow blogs in our Blogger Reading List. Do you know? Is Bloglovin' much better than using the list in Blogger? Just curious about the necessity of making the switch. Thanks!
Teach on a Limb
I believe that is exactly what it means. When we visit a blog and the follow it through our google account it shows up in our reading list. That is what I think will go. I like bloglovin. They have an iPhone app that I really like.ReplyDelete
Of course, I could be completely wrong!ReplyDelete
Sounds like you have a busy summer planned. I just got back into blogging myself. the year got away from me..plus frustration set in regarding how to navigate.
Safe travels. Have a great last week of school. :)
followed you from Farley's Currently. I was wondering if as a reading coach you miss being a classroom teacher. I recently got my reading specialist credential and was considering this option.
First Grade by the Sea
Hi Pauline,
Yes, I do miss the classroom. I was a Reading Specialist from 2004-2007 and then returned to the classroom so much more prepared. In 2011 I became a Reading Coach. I do miss it and do think I will return at some point. But the experience and learning I do in the reading positions is so helpful when back in the classroom. I've learned so much from other coaches and teachers. I say go for it! There are always going to be classrooms to return to!
Found you through currently. I LOVE to read during the summer. In fact, I just finished my first book and it only took three days. I love the Janet Evanovich books. If you haven't read her Stephanie Plum series, you should. The first one is called One for the Money. There was a movie, but the book was a million times better.
I am excited to be your newest follower!

Hi Stacy,
So glad I found you through Currently. I love connecting with other reading specialists. :)
Enjoy your last week of school! This is my last week too. We dismiss at 10:45 Thursday. Can't wait! I have a date with the sun and my Kindle. ;)
Read With Me ABC
I'm a bookaholic so I've read 9 books in the 9 days I've been out of school- including picture books. :)
Hi thanks for the comment! I have some flips that are similar to the switch flops but they are Diva Girl! Have a fun summer!ReplyDelete
Hi~I found your super cute blog via the linky. It's nice to meet you. I look forward to learning lots from your blog. :)

She is a leader in the world of conscious movement, forging a path for its continued evolution. After opening the first studio dedicated to conscious dance in the US, she inspired the birth of conscious movement gatherings such as Tribal Spirit and OneDanceTribe that unified a divided movement world in a mission to awaken love. Through her work with Azul she is elevating the spiritual aspect and redefining the work we do on the dance floor as "a path to awakening consciousness".
Amara has been teaching movement as a spiritual practice for over 20 years. Starting at a young age, she dove into her journey exploring movement as a healing art. While at the Evergreen State College she had the fortune to study with Anna Halprin (Expressive Arts Therapy, Tamalpa Institute), and immerse in the work of Awareness through Movement, Body Centering, Authentic Movement and Dance Therapy. She also traveled and studied Gestalt and Holotrophic Breathwork at the Findhorn Community.
At 21 she met Gabrielle Roth and found her home. This encounter launched her first into her own deep journey of embodiment and then into the only work she has ever done: teaching movement.
Trained by Gabrielle to teach Waves and Heartbeat levels of 5Rhythms®, she spent many years traveling the world spreading her unique voice in this work. In 2002 she co-founded Waves Studio in Olympia WA, establishing a thriving local dance community. In 2007 Amara moved to Hawaii as Director of Conscious Dance at Studio Maui.
In 2009 she met her future husband Paolo. Together they created OneDanceTribe and started the journey with their spiritual teacher Prem Baba which led to the birth of Azul in 2014.
Prem Baba is a Brazilian psychotherapist and shaman who awakened in the East Indian tradition through his teacher. He embodies the awakening of love and is able to guide students through a deconstruction of the false self, which leads to the remembrance of the true self. His map of spiritual reality is the ground Amara stands on to teach Azul.
While in Olympia, Amara started a yearly 5Rhythms gathering, where she invited 5R teachers with the intention of creating a collaborative environment.
The inspiration for this event followed her to Hawaii and eventually merged with Paolo's vision to create an evolutionary container with movement as a part of a larger offering of conscious living practices.
This gave birth to a unique event in the field of conscious movement, and seeded an international community of individuals taking steps towards self-realization utilizing conscious movement as a vehicle.

Some people think hiding a TV is a decorating trick of the '80's. However, no matter how much more attractive flat screens are than the big boxes of the past, sometimes you just don't want a
TV being the focal point of a room.
Stylishly hide a flat screen behind salvaged doors. Great for adding a bit of industrial
flair to any room.
All you need are two salvaged pocket doors, a barn sliding door kit, and one or two salvaged pieces of wood to mount the barn sliders to. The nice thing about pocket doors is that they have casters on the bottom. This insures a smooth slide.
Nice juxtaposition - an antique cabinet to house a flat screen.
Pictures on sliders above a fireplace - very cool and modern!
A more traditional solution - a tapestry or Suzani on a drawstring.

- For the Victorians faith was an important element in their lives. It was the community of the local church that was their main source of friends and with that socialising and entertainment.
- The Christian belief in Jesus as Lord, how he helped the poor, distraught, down trodden inspired many to help others.
- Church schools brought education for all; people like William Barnardo and George Müller cared for orphans Dr Banardos still caring for unwanted Children. William Booth helped the homeless, poor and unemployed with the Salvation Army.
- Christian politicians like Lord Shaftesbury and Sir William Gladstone cared deeply about social justice and tried to change what they could, the influence of Christ was felt deeply in the Christian era.
For myself, I am a Christian and have recently moved to a traditional Anglican Church of St Mary's. It was built in 1861 and is a fine example of a Victorian Church, it is beautiful inside and has a full graveyard, and the remains of the former Church (although there have been Churches on this site for 1000 years).
- It has a good Choir of all ages and great Choir Master/Organist.
- When serving we wear robes. We use the common prayer book and also the 1662 service, and The Rector is a lovely incumbent and I can't help but feel a connection with those who attended the Church in the 160 years or so.
- This morning we sang one of my favourite hymns called 'Praise, my soul, the King of Heaven', I always liked it even when I was a child. It was composed and written by an Anglican divine and hymnist called Henry Francis Lyte who lived from 1793–1847. He attended Trinity College in Dublin and took orders and became the incumbent of Lower Brixham in Devonshire. So hear are his words that have been sang in many Churches for the last 170 years.
- Praise, my soul, the King of Heaven;
To His feet thy tribute bring.
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
Who like me His praise should sing:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Praise the everlasting King.
- Praise Him for His grace and favour
To our fathers in distress.
Praise Him still the same as ever,
Slow to chide, and swift to bless.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Glorious in His faithfulness.
- Fatherlike He tends and spares us;
Well our feeble frame He knows.
In His hands He gently bears us,
Rescues us from all our foes.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Widely yet His mercy flows.
- Frail as summer's flower we flourish,
Blows the wind and it is gone;
But while mortals rise and perish
Our God lives unchanging on,
Praise Him, Praise Him, Hallelujah
Praise the High Eternal One!
- Angels, help us to adore Him;
Ye behold Him face to face;
Sun and moon, bow down before Him,
Dwellers all in time and space.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Praise with us the God of grace.

F.B.I. Once Warned G.O.P. Congressman That Russian Spies Were Recruiting Him – The New York Times
The congressman, Dana Rohrabacher of California, has been known for years as one of Moscow's biggest defenders in Washington and as a vocal opponent of American economic sanctions against Russia. He claims to have lost a drunken arm-wrestling match with the current Russian president, Vladimir V. Putin, in the 1990s. He is one of President Trump's staunchest allies on Capitol Hill.
Roger Ailes is survived by Trump, Hannity, this awful time.
Ailes leaves behind one of the largest legacies of any media figure of the past century: He made our country nastier, stupider, cruder, and more bigoted. Even as the memory of Ailes the man fades, we will always be able to look back on what he built.
Worldwide effort set to keep Trump happy on 1st trip abroad
In Saudi Arabia, people with knowledge of the planning for Trump's trip say the caterers are planning to offer the president steak and ketchup alongside the lamb and hefty portions of rice on the menu. All the meat will have been butchered in a Shariah-compliant halal manner as per Islamic custom.
"It's Time For West Virginia To Rise Up": A Q&A with Paula Swearengin | New Republic
Now one of those activists seeks to unseat him. Paula Swearengin, 42, is an accounting clerk and single mother of four from Coal City, West Virginia. On March 9, she announced that she would challenge Manchin in the Democratic primary. She is a newcomer to politics and an early beneficiary of Brand New Congress, a political action committee founded by former members of Senator Bernie Sanders's presidential campaign.
Cuomo distances himself from the state-run MTA
Gov. Andrew Cuomo, following weeks of service failures in New York City's subways, told reporters Thursday that his responsibility for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority merely consists of appointing a few people to its board, a responsibility shared by Mayor Bill de Blasio and county executives across the state. The state-run authority, he said, is a "regional transportation system."
What Donald Trump Needs to Know About Bob Mueller and Jim Comey – POLITICO Magazine
The story of that March 11, 2004, showdown—how it came to light and what it says about the motivations and the moral compass of the two men now at the heart of a new Washington showdown—should deeply worry the Trump White House.

About Us
Kitty and Puppy Haven is a pro-life sanctuary started in 2000 with the sole purpose of rescuing neglected, abused and abandoned animals. Most of our cases originate from veterinary practices, low income areas, other welfare organizations (that work in the townships and squatter-camps) or from emergency rescues. While animal rescue and rehabilitation is a priority, educating people on correct animal care is critical.
We will not euthanase any animals if they can be healed and have a healthy, pain free, happy life. As most animals come from disadvantaged backgrounds, many require extensive veterinary care. Every animal also receives standard health care – vaccinations, de-worming, flea control and sterilisation. Our monthly veterinary bills average R40,000 - R50,000 per month.
To provide the animals in our care with the best medical attention, dietary requirements and above all love and attention while we nurse them back to health. We ensure that all of these animals are healthy and sterilised. All of our animals are placed in suitable, loving homes. We are alleviating suffering, saving lives and ensuring that these animals cannot breed and produce more offspring.
In June 2010 we started our ALEX PROJECT - a programme initially dedicated to Alexandra Township, which now includes many other squatter camps in the Gauteng area.
In the townships we:
• hand out free food
• offer advice on pet care
• carry out sterilisations
• offer vaccinations and de-worming
• rescue abandoned, neglected or orphaned animals
Adoption Procedure
Visit the sanctuary to complete the adoption application form and meet the animals. Once a booking is made, a home check is completed and the animal is sterilised before being collected.
Adoption Hours
Monday - Friday: 09h30 - 15h00 (EXCEPT Thursday)
Thursday: 09h30 - 12h00
Saturday: 09h30 - 14h00
Sundays: Closed

Ear infection can be detected by noticing certain symptoms. While it is easy for adults to look for indications, it is hard to determine if a toddler or kid has symptoms of an ear infection. The symptoms include an earache, blocked or full ear, dullness and illness, fever, stuffy nose, vomiting, and diarrhea.
An ear infection can occur in any part of the ear, such as:
Outer Ear Infection
Also called swimmer's ear or Otitis externa, it involves infection in the outer ear and ear canal.
Middle Ear Infection
Also known as Otitis media, the middle part of the ear that is located behind the eardrum is infected. The infection is usually accompanied by swelling.
Inner Ear Infection
The fluid in the ear canal may travel to the inner ear and cause an infection. The symptoms of this are slightly different from the other ear infections as this part of the ear is responsible for maintaining the body's balance. The person may experience dizziness, vertigo, difficulty in balance, and problems with vision and hearing.
While you might be thinking of rushing to the drug store to grab some antioxidant or any other medication to ease out the pain, we suggest you resort to home remedies. Natural ways of treating ailments age back to thousands of years and they are found to be effective. The best part about home remedies are they are easily available in your kitchen they have minor or no side effects.
Here are 4 best ear infection home remedies to help you say goodbye to the infection and be at peace again.
1. Salt For Ear Infections Treatment
Salt is considered an excellent treatment for pains, and talking about ear infections, salt can treat that too. Heat one cup of salt and place it in a cloth. Tie it up with a rubber band and put it on the affected ear for 5-10 minutes when it's bearably hot while lying down. Repeat multiple times for relief from an earache.
2. Garlic Cloves For Ear Infections Treatmen
Garlic can do wonders when it comes to ear infections. Cook 2 garlic cloves in 2 tablespoons of mustard or sesame oil until it turns blackish. Cool this oil and put 2-3 drops in the affected ear. Clove is an effective home remedy for ear infection. This is one of the best ear infection home remedies that you must try.
Another method of using garlic is by taking a small pod of garlic and wrapping it in a tissue. Now place this packed pod on the opening of the ear, make sure you don't push it in too deep. The best time is to do this before bed and leave it on for the night. Even if it falls off in the middle of the night, it would have stayed in long enough for it to work.
Garlic will heal the pain in an hour and can cure the infection in a day or two.
Apple Cider Vinegar For Ear Infections Treatment
Vinegar helps in reducing the disease-causing microorganisms. Mix equal parts of apple cider vinegar with water and soak cotton balls in it. Put this cotton ball in the ear for 5 minutes. Remove it and lay on the other side to drain out any liquid that oozes out from the ear.
Basil For Ear Infection Treatment
Basil is also useful in treating minor earaches and infections. It's beneficial in reducing the pain in less time and helps with the infection too. Take four to five tender basil leaves and crush them to extract the juice. Apply this juice around the ear infection, but make sure it doesn't get into the ear canal.
You can use basil essential oil also to do the work for you. Mix a few drops of basil essential oil with equal amount of coconut oil and soak a cotton ball in the concoction. Now wipe your ear with this cotton ball, inside, outside and behind. Do this twice daily to see results.
An ear infection can leave you frustrated, but with these home remedies, you can be assured of instant relief. Be sure to follow them diligently for best results. You can also consult your health care provider for better advice if you are suffering from any for of ear infections.

Canine aggression isn't just a problem for you: it affects everyone your dog comes into contact with, including family, friends, and even strangers. You don't want to risk an expensive lawsuit because you did nothing to curb a solvable dog problem. Instead, follow the advice below for stopping dog aggression.
Curb Canine Aggression - Here's How
Working with an aggressive dog can be extremely dangerous and should never be attempted alone. Seeking expert help from an experienced animal-behavior specialist who genuinely understands the different animal learning theories and behavioral patterns is always smart.
When stumped for aggressive canine solutions, don't sweat it. There are things you can do to deal with the situation. Here are some of them.
Dog aggression is a highly complicated matter. People who have aggressive dogs need to keep in mind that punishment is never a solution. In fact, it'll only make the aggression problem worse. Punishing possessive, territorial or protective dog aggression will likely merely elicit more defensive aggression and lead to severe attacks and biting incidents.
Dogs, even overly aggressive ones, need understanding, NOT additional torture. The quicker you find out what's bothering your dog, the more accurate his treatment will be and the sooner he'll be able to recover.

25 April 2012
Last week in London I met Andy Green, CEO of Logica, to launch a major strategic project – a significant modernisation of our patent-related processes that will set new service levels for the European patent system in the future.
To achieve this, we will build an innovative case management system that will support all EPO processes. A user-friendly interface will provide comprehensive access to dossier portfolios, offering simplified, transparent, efficient and modern interaction for our users.
The EPO now has many years of experience in electronic interaction of this kind. For example, 85% of our EP applications are now filed online, and Espacenet has become one of the world's most trusted sources of information about patents. We recently enhanced it with our Patent Translate service.
With the new case management project, the EPO and its users are advancing further into the digital age. The EPO will not only optimise and automate its processes but will also give new impetus to more streamlined interaction with its users. The Office places them at the centre of its efforts to provide a modern public service.
The ultimate goal of these major business changes is to boost innovation in Europe by offering our users digital end-to-end processing of their applications, saving them both time and money, amounting in total to tens of millions of euros.

In this first book about the rather young discipline, the author consolidated its key principles, so that they can be consulted, referenced and utilised by both design students and professionals.
Only when the perfect balance between visual beauty and functional performance is achieved, can a product provide a consistent and successful user experience. The discipline of CMF design focuses on designing and specifying colours, materials and finishes to support both functional and emotional attributes of products. The work of the CMF designer combines aesthetics and practical knowledge of materials and technologies with intangible human perceptions of value.
This area of design expertise is increasingly in demand. Consumer product manufacturers have an enhanced awareness of its great potential for diversifying product portfolios at relatively low costs, while still maintaining a similar or the same product shape, functionality or tooling. It can work as a key avenue to create a sense of novelty and higher value propositions. From a marketing perspective, CMF design is a valuable tool when it comes to positioning products, collections and categories according to market tiers and consumer segmentations.
Introducing the CMF process and detailing the areas of colour, material and finish design, this book serves as a valuable source of information about this emerging professional discipline and its fundamental principles.

Publication Details
Like the other reviewers have mentioned, this is a great tool for those currently in the field and for those interested, yet still curious. Liliana is able to cover pretty much everything about the CMF industry in one book: various sub-categories and specific roles within CMF design, address misconceptions by offering behind the scene insights, and the value of CMF design/strategy within a company. I don't think this is just a great design tool, but an even better representation (if not, the first of it's kind) of a niche design field not many are aware of. Again, anyone who works in the field will greatly appreciate and agree with most of the content while the aspiring CMF designers will gain great insights and a comprehensive look into a creative, thoughtful, and meticulous design process.
CMF explained at last! CMF (Color Material and Finish) Design is a little-known branch of product design yet one of the most important pieces of the puzzle in producing and selling a successful product. Thankfully "The Fundamental Principles of CMF Design" dissects and expands to a great depth the importance of this discipline.
If you want to understand how to add CMF design thinking to your workflow, then Liliana's explanation and break down of CMF will not only help you understand how to apply it successfully but improve the quality of your designs and trend strategies.
I highly recommend this book as a companion in the design process of any professional and aspiring designer or artist. Understanding how to work with colors and materials is a life long journey; this book gives you the fundamentals on how to apply these innovatively.
Fantastic book, gives a real comprehensive look at CMF design and how it contributes to all areas of the world we see, feel and interact with on a daily basis. Well illustrated and a nice format to read, I would highly recommend it.
Liliana Becerra's "The Fundamental Principles of CMF Design" is a wonderfully comprehensive position on a very important pillar within Product Design. Bringing the best of her professional experience in CMF, juxtaposed with the perspectives of luminaries and innovative company exemplars, this book definitely belongs in any professional industrial designer's library. I find myself referring back to it often for all my projects, and would recommend it to anyone that likes to amplify their product's narrative through the effective application of color, materiality and appropriate finishes. Thank you Liliana for this fine work!
Liliana Becerra's "The Fundamental Principles of CMF Design, Colour Material Finish" is a definitive book for the current, or aspiring CMF professional and/or companies without a CMF strategy.

Pygmies Fall to UNM at Home

The Pygmies turned in a committed mid-afternoon performance against the Lobos, who lead the Rio Grande Rugby Union collegiate standings for 2013-14 with an unblemished record against Tech, NMSU, and the University of Texas-El Paso. It was a marked improvement over their last meeting with the Lobos, a 90-7 shellacking in
The home side knew a disjointed performance like their 48-12 win over UTEP two weeks ago would not be good enough to beat UNM. Nevertheless the Pygmies spent most of the first half playing defense as the Lobos took advantage of sometimes-soft Pygmy tackling to score two five-point tries. In the ninth minute of play UNM controlled a scrum five meters from the Tech try line and their forwards engineered a score by maintaining possession through two phases of play (tackles). In the 36th minute UNM center Jeremy Guscott broke tackles to score from 20 meters out. Both conversion kicks were missed to leave the Pygmies within striking range at 10-0.
A cloudy day grew a bit darker for Tech just before halftime when French import Wilfred Juncker swatted away tacklers to score, and at 15-0 it appeared UNM might run away with the contest in the upcoming half.
Tech's expected second half wind advantage didn't materialize as the strong southwest winds uncharacteristically abated during the final 40 minutes. With only four substitutes available, most Pygmies soldiered on while UNM was able to reinforce liberally from a deep bench. Nevertheless the home side rallied to outscore the Lobos two tries to one in the closing period.
UNM remained in the ascendancy in the scrums and lineout restarts but Tech's defense held firm. Tech's backs managed their share of penetrating runs, each time falling one connecting pass short of a score. Midway through the action, Tech flanker Jason Lee once again sparked his team with a 40-meter scoring run that blended speed with overpowering might and pure determination. Steve Bernsen couldn't manage the conversion kick and the score stood at 15-5.
A few minutes later, UNM's Argentine-American standout Pancho Fluxa effectively iced the match after some clever footwork propelled him through Tech's cover defense. The conversion kick succeeded for a 22-5 lead.
With time winding down the Pygmies were awarded a penalty near UNM's line. By design the ball came to that man Lee, who obliged with his second try of the day. Once again the kick missed and UNM held their 22-10 advantage.
Lee nearly turned the hat trick on the last play of the match, but couldn't cleanly pluck the ball from the ground as he raced up on it. Instead the ball fell forward in technical violation of rugby's law against propelling the ball forward with the hand.

The first five volumes of 'Fables' was lent to me months and months ago, and I left the series untouched as I reworked my old excuse that I "have too much to read already". A few weeks back I finally decided to pick it up, and I rarely put it down since then.
I can't remember the last time that I felt so completely enamored with a story-let alone a graphic novel-as I am with 'Fables'. It continues to blow my mind a bit that a story stemming from the literal roots of fantasy storytelling-fairytales-could become a dark, complex, intelligent war drama starring Snow White, the "big bad wolf" and Little Boy Blue. Besides that, the art is a gorgeous melding of bright and rustic at the same time-very reflective of this epic tale.
If you need something to shake up your reading and to give you a strange realm of inspiration, this is where you should start. It is worth the eleven (at least) volumes. You won't even notice the time go by!

At 10:00 a.m. wreaths were laid at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in the Arc de Triomphe.
At 11:00 a.m. President François Hollande led a ceremony of national commemoration at the Arc de Triomphe.
In the afternoon, President Hollande inaugurated the ring of memory, a new international memorial at Notre-Dame-de-Lorette in Pas-de-Calais listing the names of almost 600,000 soldiers who died on the battlefields of Flanders and Artois during the First World War. In Paris, dignitaries from Belgium, the Czech Republic, Greece, Italy, Poland, Russian, Spain, and Slovakia joined Parisian city officials in paying homage to foreign soldiers who died fighting for France. The ceremony took place in Paris' largest and most famous cemetery, Le Père Lachaise, a stunningly beautiful park that is home to graves of such luminaries as Oscar Wilde, Max Ernst, Gertrude Stein, Maria Callas, and Alexandre Ledru-Rollin (about whom we posted earlier).
Throughout the day, people donned bleuets, the French symbol of commemoration of the First World War. The blue flower was among the few to bloom in the muddy trenches, and matched the color of the French soldiers' uniforms.
Another rare flower to bloom in the trenches was the red poppy, symbol of war commemoration in Britain and Canada as inspired by the poem "In Flanders Fields." This year, some four million visitors to the Tower of London have viewed "Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red," the outdoor installation of over 800,000 ceramic poppies, each symbolizing a soldier's death in World War I.

Let's hear it for Voluptuous Heroines...
I'm over at I Heart Presents this weekend talking about my heroine Ruby Delisantro from Cupcakes and Killer Heels... And why I loved her curves so much! The book is out in the US this month as a Harlequin Presents Extra, btw..
In other news it looks like Nate and Tess's story will be an autumn release and (hopefully) part of the Riva relaunch at the end of this year... No title yet though, so stay tuned for that.
Also, if anyone has been following my Pinterest page, I had a little panic this week and have deleted my boards for the time being. I thought I was allowed to pin any pictures I found on the internet, but it turns out it's not quite as simple as that (Duh!!). But I hope to be pinning again soon once I've read the terms and conditions properly! If anyone else knows for sure what you can pin and what you can't, I'd love to hear from you....

I fooled around on Pinterest for a while before I 'got' it. I even published a blank board (bored?) called 'nothing' and another one called 'more nothing'. Then the penny dropped and I deleted them. It's only a bit of fun and I don't think you should worry too much about copyrights. I'll have to read the t&cs a little carefully, I suppose.

LOS ANGELES — Brandi Love's first interracial scene, released on Saturday by Blacked.com, has been performing well for the company.
"In just a few short days," a spokesperson for Love said, "signups on Blacked.com have skyrocketed as both fans of Brandi Love and fans of interracial sex clamor to see the ultimate MILF as you have never seen her before."
In the scene, directed by Greg Lansky, Love is featured with European performer Joss Lecaf. Love is represented by Jonathan Morgan and Andre Madness' Nexxxt Level Talent Agency.
"Working with Greg Lansky and the entire team at Blacked.com has been a highlight of my career," Love said. "I knew our collaboration would create a passionate, stylish and unique scene. Jonathan Morgan and Andre Madness, who represent me through Nexxxt Level, knew Blacked.com would be the best to showcase this dynamic unity. Together, what we created is something I certainly am very proud of."
Lansky is quick to praise Love's performance in the Blacked.com scene.
"Working with Brandi Love was a complete joy and honor, and I knew that this scene was going to be something very special that both fans and reviewers alike would enjoy," Lansky said.
Love has signed an exclusive one-year contract with Sweetheart Video for all of her girl/girl scenes.
Morgan said, "At the end of 2015, both my partner Andre Madness, Brandi and myself got together and formulated a war plan for 2016 that would take Brandi Love to a whole new level of fame. And so far, we are right on track. With the exclusive contract with Sweetheart Video, numerous leads in many top adult features and now, signing with Blacked.com for Brandi's first IR scene, it is easy to see why Brandi Love is the frontrunner for MILF Performer of the Year."

Monitor Buying Guide
General Features
CRT Features
LCD Features
Plasma Features
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) monitors use groups of liquid crystals and fluorescent backlights to form the onscreen image. Basically, light is transmitted to the liquid crystals, which then morph their shape to either block the light or let it pass through.
LCDs offer brighter displays with considerably less energy consumption, all in a slender package that requires very little desktop space.
- Thin Profile
- LCDs feature very thin profiles, making them the perfect choice for small work spaces.
- Standard Screen Sizes
- Unlike CRTs, there is no variance between the monitor size and the screen size. For example, a 17-inch monitor features a 17-inch viewable image.
- Bright Screens
- LCDs, thanks to the florescent backlight, produce bright, rich images
- Low Energy Consumption
- In general, LCD monitors consume about half of the energy of standard CRTs.
- Flicker-Free Refresh Rates
- Refresh rate is less of an issue with LCD monitors. LCDs are designed to have flicker-free refresh rates at 60Hz.
- High Contrast Ratios
- LCD monitors tend to feature excellent contrast ratios, which insure bright, clear images. Make sure the monitor you purchase has a contrast ratio of at least 400:1 or more.
Disadvantages: - Single Resolution
- LCDs are generally designed to work best in a single resolution. They tend not to have the flexibility that CRTs have to display multiple resolutions well.
- Narrow Viewing Angles
- LCDs tend to have a very narrow viewing angle. As you vary from looking at a LCD straight-on the image gradually degrades. Look for at least a 160° viewing angle.
- Slow Pixel Response Time
- LCDs tend to have a much slower pixel response time, which can mean image artifacts remaining onscreen after movement. For example, when you move your mouse quickly across the screen you might see the cursor create shadow images of itself briefly. These disappear instantaneously. In order to avoid this try to find a monitor that has a response time of 25 milliseconds or faster.
DVI (Digital Visual Interface):
While most LCDs usually connect via an analog VGA interface, many newer ones feature DVI as an option. The DVI interface provides a stronger, more reliable signal that can be transmitted over a farther distance. Unfortunately, the DVI interface requires a video card that supports it, which can mean an upgrade in order to take advantage of this feature.
The three types of DVI are:
- Digital only
- Analog only
- Both Digital and Analog
