I hope today is your Best Day Ever
There's something about these words and colors that make me happy. I can see giving a card like this to so many people for a variety of reasons. Best of all, you may choose this stamp set for FREE when you place a $50 Stampin' Up! order by March 31.
I started with a Coastal Cabana card, and added a 2" x 5-1/4" piece of Best Year Ever designer paper (another item you may select for FREE with a $50 SU! order) cut as a banner. Then added a Whisper White hand-cut banner, and a punched Real Red heart.
And yes, this was another of my 20-card class designs - simple and sweet. Have a wonderful day!

I love makeup. I recently found my HOLY GRAIL foundation!!!!!
I was hesitant to try a new foundation because I have sensitive skin but this is wonderful!
These are now the products I can't live without.
Maybelline FITme! Foundation: I am shade 130. I love that this has SPF 18. This is better for people with dry to combination skin. It's blend able and leaves your face super super soft and leaves my face flawless. I purchased it for $6.49. I apply with my fingers it looks a lot better. I wish it had a pump! Provides medium coverage you can add more to gain full coverage.
Maybelline FITme! Blush: I have the Light Mauve one. This works as a blush/bronzer for me since it has a pink and brown tone to it so it works as two products! I just hate the brush it comes with. Purchased for $4.99.
Maybelline FITme! Concealer: I use the shade medium and this is a great concealer covers my dark circles (which I have a lot of due to lack of sleep)
Purchased for $5.49. A little goes a long way.
ELF Liquid Eyeliner: I purchased the color Coffee. I love using brown liner it isn't as harsh as black. This does stick pretty well on its own and doesn't flake. I just wish it was waterproof.
Anastasia Brow~Wiz: To fill in my eyebrows. I use the brunette shade. This stays on all day and all night and I love it so much! I purchased it at Sephora for $20 I use it almost daily for about a year and still haven't had to purchase a new one yet!
Urban Decay Primer Potion (EDEN): I love this it conceals the lid, primes, and keeps my eye lids oil free! They no longer sell it in this form now they sell it in a squeeze tube for $19 at Sephora. It lasts a very long time and I would recommend anyone that wears eyeshadow or eyeliner to use this to prevent smudging or wear off. It also makes eyeshadows POP even more.
I hope that this helps anyone looking for some holy grail. This is my holy grail it may not be yours. Everyone skin is different so please keep that in mind.
I have dry skin and oily eyelids (sounds gross), and sensitive skin and these products have worked for me.
I purchased all these products on my own. I am giving a true and honest review on these products. I am not being paid to provide input for these product in anyway.

Update on Commencement 2015
Dear students, faculty and staff:
Commencement Day is one of the most important milestones in a Gator's life. As our graduating class continues to grow, I want to ensure that proud family members and friends can witness this annual celebration.
That's why I am thrilled to announce that our May 22, 2015 Commencement exercises will take place in AT&T Park.
This exciting transition will not only give us the potential to accommodate more graduates and guests than we have in ceremonies past. It will also eliminate the additional annual costs associated with preparing our stadium for Commencement.
Most importantly, it will ensure that the entire Class of 2015, both undergraduate and graduate students, can celebrate their Commencement together at one ceremony.
For more information about Commencement 2015, I encourage you to read the SF State News story at news.sfsu.edu/san-francisco-state-university-hold-commencement-att-park and visit our Commencement website at http://commencement.sfsu.edu
I wish you success in the spring semester and I hope to see you at AT&T Park for a grand celebration of our graduates in May.
Les Wong,

After my recent trip to Penang, I am here to share with you what I think is the Top 6 die die must try in Penang after trying out so many delicious food there! They are in no particular order but all must try la! I will be blogging about my itinerary on a separate blog post!
1. Tiger Char Koay Teow
Address: 179 Carnavon Street, 10300, Gerogetown, Penang
Operating Hours: Monday - Sunday 8am to 2pm
Must Order: Char Koay Teow with Duck Egg - RM6 for standard size
The aroma of the duck egg used enhanced the whole flavour factor of this char Koay Teow. It has wok hei, fresh ingredients and generous amount of tao gey, adding the extra crunch. A very different style as compared to the CKT we have in Singapore!
2. Lim Sisters Curry Noodle
Address: Air Itam Market (Under a big tree)
Operation Hours: Monday - Sunday 8am - 1pm
Must Order: A bowl of Curry Noodles - RM5 for standard size
I almost missed out this bowl of heavenly curry noodles if not for my travel companion's sharp eyes. The soup broth was boiled over charcoal heat and the flavours were strong but the soup was not as thick as our curry gravy in Singapore. In this bowl of curry mee, you will find a gem which you can no longer find in Singapore. It's the Pig's Blood! Although I'm not a big fan of it, but I do enjoy my portion of it when available.
3. Penang Air Itam Laksa
Address: Air Itam Market (its really obvious one)
Operating Hours: Monday - Sunday 11am - 7pm
Must Order: Penang Laksa - RM4.50 for standard size
It was my first time trying our Penang Laksa and I'm glad I did. The aromatic broth and the pile of fish. vegetables, onions and the thick been hoon looking noodles all came together so well. It is nothing like those in Singapore which reeks of fishy sardine smell. The owner of the shop was so busy, his hands were working non stop! People came and go continuously and people even come here just to takeaway!
4. Kimberly Night Market Duck Koay Chiap
Address: Kimberly Night Market on Lebuh Kimberly infront of Restoran Kimberly
Operating Hours: Friday - Wednesday 6.30pm - 11.30pm (Closed on Thursday)
Must Order: Duck Koay Chiap - RM10 for Large
This huge bowl of brown goodness is passed down from 3 decades. The thick rice rolls with the generous ingredients like duck meat, innards and the flavourful broth makes you want to gobble down a large bowl by yourself. I went back twice in my 4 days trip!
5. Wantan Mee @ Tai Wah Cafe
Address: 86 Jalan Argyll, 10050, Georgetown, Penang (Diagonally opposite a Caltex Petrol Station)
Operating Hours: 7am - 11.30am (Closed on Tuesdays)
Must Order: Dry Wantan Mee with Black Sauce - RM4 for Medium size
Do not judge it's unassuming looks. This is the BEST Wantan Mee I've ever had in my entire life. I know taste is subjective but I'm sure of you love dark soya sauce with your wantan noodles, you will feel the same as me. The dark soya sauce that they used here had such a kick to it which lifted the whole dish. the springy noodles and generous amount of ingredients left me wanting more!
6. Toh Soon Cafe
Address: 184 Campbell Street (off Penang Road in an alley)
Operating Hours: 8am - 6pm (Closed on Sunday)
Operating Hours: 8am - 6pm (Closed on Sunday)
Must Order: Hainanese Coffee - RM 1.70 for Large Cup
I don't know to count myself lucky or what but when my travel companions arrive at Toh Soon, we did not have to wait for a table, neither did we have to wait at least 30minutes for our Coffee, Toast & eggs. We were first confused whether we were at the right place. Haha! But we were assured after seeing the man roasting the roti while squatting on the ground. The toast was nothing to shout about but the Coffee was the BOMB! It was Thick but smooth and very very aromatic. The delicate flavour brought back nostalgic memories just like how we used to have real good coffee last time. I almost wanted to ask the lady boss for the coffee powder to bring back to SG! lol! Coffee Lovers Must Try ya!
That's all for my 6 MUST EATS in Penang! What are yours?
There are so much more stuffs I've yet to try in Penang and there are just too many good food lying around the corners! I'm sure to head back to Penang again soon!
Till Next Time.
With Love, M♥

Questioning of Lei Feng's Frugality Leads to Detention
When online posts surfaced questioning the legendary frugality of a long-dead model soldier, Chinese police sprang into action. On Wednesday, the Public Security Ministry announced the detention of four people for slanderous Internet postings.
The detentions, which were widely publicized by state media, are part of a renewed effort by authorities to control the Internet, especially the Twitter-like services that are the least fettered channels for public discussion in China.
More In Lei Feng
- China Parliamentary Meeting is Xi's Show, Even When It's Not
- Criminal Speech? The Weibo Posts That Could Send Chinese Lawyer Pu Zhiqiang to Prison
- China Military Paper Submits 'Proof' West Point Paid Homage to Lei Feng
- April Fooled: No, Chinese Communist Icon Lei Feng Is Not Loved by the U.S. Military
- Socialist Ghost Haunts Reform Prospects in China
In a statement on the ministry's website, police identified two of those detained as Yang Xiuyu, founder of the online promotion company Beijing Erma Interactive Marketing and Planning Co., and employee Qin Zhihui. Two other employees who were not named in the statement were also detained. They were accused of fabricating and spreading rumors online, harming the reputations of others and making illegal profits.
Messrs. Yang and Qin targeted a variety of public figures in their postings, including a well-known military affairs commentator and the head of China's Disabled Persons' Federation, the police said. Their tactic – to make outrageous statements or claims in order to attract attention and online traffic - is familiar to Chinese web users, who call it "rocking China with rumors." Mr. Yang's company, Beijing Erma, was paid by clients to delete online posts and track down the Internet protocol addresses — an electronic signature — of individual computers, the police said.
Beijing police took notice after receiving complaints about online posts mocking Lei Feng, the soldier whom the government has promoted as a model of humility and selflessness for the past four decades. Praised by officials, taught in schools and celebrated on an annual "Learn from Lei Feng" day, Lei Feng is the subject of much derision by many Chinese who see him as a socialist throwback in the free-market, materialistic China of today.
One of the posts, a screenshot of which can still be found online, suggested Lei was corrupt, spending 90 yuan on his clothes while his soldiers' salary was only 6 yuan.
"The glorious image of Lei Feng was being questioned by some web users," said the police statement. "Many web users reported this to the police demanding a thorough investigation of the creators of the rumors defaming Lei Feng's image."
The detentions drew mixed reaction online with some supporting the clampdown on irresponsible postings while others said the government would likely censor truth along with rumor.
The case and the reaction show the government's difficult challenge in trying to control what people see and think in the Internet era. The police statement said Mr. Qin had a history of circulating rumors. After a collision of trains on the country's high-speed rail network in eastern China in July 2011, Mr. Qin claimed in an online posting that the government was offering 200 million yuan ($32.7 million) in compensation to foreign victims, the police said. The sum is more than 200 times the compensation that state television said was originally offered to Chinese victims. The posting was re-tweeted 12,000 times within 2 hours before it was taken down, the police said.
After authorities would shut down one of Mr. Qin's microblog, or Weibo, accounts, he would open a new one, each time using a variant of the same online moniker "Qin Huohuo", police said. The name means "Fire Fire Qin." In all he accumulated 12 accounts from 2011, drawing more than 100,000 followers, the police said.

Joomla 2.5 Tutorial – The process is the same as previous Joomla versions on how to install and activate a new Joomla template. The only tricky part of installing a Joomla template is to make sure the ZIP file you download ONLY contains the folder of your new template. If the Joomla Template installer cannot find the template.xml file, it will cause your installer to error out. But I'll save that for another tutorial.
To Install & Activate your new Joomla 2.5 template only requires 3 easy steps. Overview of what you need to do:
- Access the Joomla 2.5 Extensions Manager Installer
- Select the new Joomla 2.5 Template ZIP file
- Activate Joomla 2.5 Template in Template Manager
1. Access the Joomla 2.5 Extensions Manager Installer
The Joomla 2.5 Extension Manager manages all the updates, database, warnings and installs of any plugins, templates, modules, Components, and languages.
- Login to your Joomla 2.5 Administrator panel
- Click on 'Extensions', 'Extensions Manager'
- Click on the 'Install' tab
2. Select the new Joomla 2.5 Template ZIP file
In the install tab, you will select the template ZIP file. Do NOT unzip the contents. The Joomla 2.5 installer will ONLY accept ZIP files.
- Under 'Upload Package File', click on 'Choose File'
- Select the Template ZIP file you downloaded from your computer
- Click on 'Upload & Install'
- You will see a message that says:
Installing Template was successful
3. Activate Joomla 2.5 Template in Template Manager
Now that you installed/uploaded your new Joomla 2.5 template, you still need to activate the template to be the default site template. This is done in the Template Manager.
- Click on 'Extensions', 'Template Manager'
- Click the 'Styles' tab
- Use the Checkbox to select your new Template Name
- Click on the big star on the top right 'Make Default'
- You will see a message that says:
Default style successfully set.
That's it. Refresh your Joomla 2.5 website at the frontend and you should see a new layout for your Joomla website.
Hope that helps,

|Geneva : city transport
Home > Tourist Guide > Table of contents > Geneva > Transport
Trams, buses and boats
Tiny mouettes ferry people across the mouth of the lake (April–Oct only), on two routes, both covered by normal city tickets: M1 runs between the Pâquis jetty (Quai du Mont-Blanc) and Place du Molard (Rues-Basses); M2 between Pâquis and Eaux-Vives.
Swiss Pass holders travel free, but Eurail, InterRail and even the Swiss Half-Fare Card bring no discounts on city transport.
The station has the usual bike-rental facilities (Mon–Fri 6.50am–6.45pm, Sat & Sun 7am–12.30pm & 1.30–5.45pm) or, as an alternative, you can take advantage of the Genèv'Roule scheme, with bikes available for rent at Fr.5/day from 17 Place de Montbrillant and the Bains des Pâquis (both May–Oct daily 7.30am–9.30pm). Horizon Motos, 51 Rue de Lausanne (022/731 23 39) rents mopeds and motorbikes by the day, week or month: long-weekend deals start from Fr.120.
City tours
For self-guided tours, simplest is to pick up a Walkman and headphones from the tourist office for an informative 26-point walk in the Old Town at your own pace (Fr.10, plus Fr.50 deposit), or follow one of the excellent "Geneva On Foot" brochure-led walks through the various parks and neighbourhoods. Official two-hour guided walks all depart from the Hôtel-de-Ville and cost Fr.12: a walk through the Old Town runs year-round (June–Oct Wed & Sat 11am, Nov–May Sat 11am), while other regular tours outline Historic Geneva, The Red Cross, and Medieval Geneva (June–Oct alternating Mondays 2.30pm). Other walks, highlighting International Geneva, parks and gardens, Carouge, Geneva by night, and more, run on fixed dates from various points around town – ask at the tourist office for details.
Opportunities for getting onto the water also abound: the CGN has plenty of cruises long and short from their Mont-Blanc jetty, including Les Belles Rives Genevoises – a circular tour of both lakeshores (April–Sept daily 11.05am & hourly 1.05–5.05pm; 55min; Fr.11) – and dozens of eat-aboard brunch, lunch and evening cruises. However, note that the smaller companies ranged along the Quai du Mont-Blanc tend to offer better value and more regular departures for much the same thing. One of them, Mouettes Genevoises Navigation, 8 Quai du Mont-Blanc (022/732 29 44), has an excellent 2hr 45min return trip down the Rhône, from the Pont de l'Ile (Quai des Moulins) past cliffs and densely wooded shores to Verbois dam near the French border (May–Sept daily 2.15pm, also Wed, Thurs, Sat & Sun 10am; April daily 2.15pm only; Fr.22, reserve ahead).

When it comes to elaborate updos, those with above-the-shoulder strands seem to have gotten the short end of the stick (literally). While their Rapunzel-esque counterparts can twist, bun, braid, and pin to their heart's content, short-haired girls face a much smaller pool of options. After all, how much can you really do when you're working with the length of, say, a J.Law-inspired chop?
For all our short-haired sisters out there, know this: You, too, can partake in the updo game. While pixie-length hair is a bit tough to gather for an updo (we've still included one for you, don't worry!), we've searched high and low for bob-to-shoulder-length updos that won't consume your entire morning. So grab some bobby pins ($4), a scarf, and some hair ties, and get ready to transform your hair.
Keep scrolling for 12 cool bun, braid, and pinned-up ideas for short hair!
This style works best on shoulder-length hair, but those with shorter strands can re-create this by simply using more bobby pins. Here's the full tutorial!
Why not add some retro flair to your look with a sleek silk scarf and major volume? Plus, the scarf hides all your bobby pins, so feel free to pin with abandon. See the full instructions here.
Simple and oh-so-chic, this braided 'do is perfect for the office, brunch, or an elegant occasion. Click here for the step-by-steps!
Half roll, half braid, this might just be your new everyday hairstyle. Click over here for the instructions!
When all else fails, rock a cool-girl half-bun—so simple yet so effective.
Remember Anne Hathaway's pixie? This simple 'do with rolled-back sections and a gold starry clip proves that, yes, even pixies can be pinned up.
Spice up an otherwise basic low ponytail by creating a slim dutch braid right down the center of the back of your head. Your followers will be in for a surprise.
A simple way to add a bit more dimension to short, natural texture is to braid the sides, creating a chic fauxhawk.
The beauty of short hair? Among other things, we like that it has the ability to disappear—tucked out of sight—at the end of a french braid.
The short-haired girl's version of a chignon, this messy yet polished 'do can be dressed up or down (tousled side fringe is encouraged).
Two high-placed buns can easily go straight from the gym to the office or to drinks with friends (just remember to freshen up first!). All you need are two hair elastics and a few bobby pins to secure the buns in place. For a full breakdown, check out this tutorial.
In this instance, knots in your hair are totally welcome. Split your mane up into three segments, twist each section, and knot each before pinning. Take a look at the full tutorial here.
How do you like to wear your short hair? Please tell us below!

Marketing Tips for Eye Doctors
Administrators and managing physicians often view marketing solely as advertising to attract new patients. Depending on the direction you want to take your practice, regular consistent marketing can increase your income, deter new competitors, retain market share, shift payer patterns, introduce new services, recruit new providers, enter new marketplaces or combat negative publicity.
A good management plan for your practice should include strategic planning, patient relations, insurance plan contracting, recall systems, practice hours, practice acquisition, office location and ancillary products and services. Here are some practical tips to help you point you in the right direction:
Tip #1 - Have a Written One-Year or Five-Year Marketing Plan
Practices with a plan typically out-perform practices without a plan. The first and most important part of a marketing plan is the goal, as it is a foundation for all the other decisions.
Tip #2 - Demonstrate Availability, Affability and Ability
Your patients are busy and require convenience. Scheduling is still the most important function in your office after the initial physician-patient contact, for patient-retention and new referrals.
- See new patients and referrals as soon as possible, preferably within the same week of the call.
- See patients on time.
We all prefer to interact with people we like so make sure everyone who interacts with your patients is friendly and pleasant.
- Address the patient by name.
- Make an effort to engage the patient in light conversation.
- Ask patients about their kids, work/school or the weather.
Tip #3 - Get Out in Public Again
One of the first, basic and most successful marketing techniques oftentimes ignored by maturing practices. Have your practice's ophthalmologists meet and network with others. People refer first to people they know and like affability again.
Tip #4 - Keep Your Name in Front of Patients and Referrals
It is estimated that it takes five or more encounters with your practice's name for it to be recognized. Your name should appear anywhere potential patients would look. That means listing information in all the appropriate categories of various publications, including the local phone book, ophthalmic directories, physician-listing services, the local paper and mailings to patients and local residents. Your practice's name, address, phone number and Web address should also appear on every single piece of paper that leaves your office.
Tip #5 - Have an Appropriate Web Page
Build a web site that reflects the office brochure and patient-education materials, so that it serves as a destination-point for local patients in the process of making a choice among physicians. Make sure these potential-patients find your web address on all your print, ad and media materials. It is a good idea to provide patients with a method to communicate with your office, but make sure you are using a secure messaging service, not regular e-mail, so that your office continues to meet HIPAA compliance regulations.
Subspecialty practices that serve broader regions may consider web sites set up to draw patients directly to your practice, increase your visibility among ophthalmologists researching information or to stimulate referral requests.
Tip #6 - Maintain a Commitment to Quality
Focus on providing extraordinary service to patients to increase patient retention and patient referrals. Think about examples of extraordinary service you have experienced at other businesses and how those behaviors might be applied to your office. Particularly pay attention to how problems and disputes were resolved to your satisfaction. Examples might include resolving billing disputes or handling appointment tardiness that was not the patient's fault.
Tip #7 - Change Your Sign
If you have a free-standing sign in front of your practice, after a while it becomes invisible to passers-by who see it regularly. Changing the size, shape and/or color will attract more attention. You may get new walk-in patients asking, "I just saw your sign, how long have you been here?"

One of our favorite go-to recipes in the summer (and all year round) is this Smoky Chipotle Hummus. The thing is, it's perfect to serve to guests, but is also a great family treat any day of the week!
Adee is home for the summer (insert my happy dance here) and she's been spending a little more time in the kitchen. I like to pretend (in my happy, no problems in the world place) that this is because she's interested in cooking. Of course, I'm worried that it actually means she's trying to prepare for herself for life on her own. [Hand over my ears, singing La La La!]
Whatever her motive, it's been fun having her in the kitchen. Her incessant questions, "Why do we add flax?" here and "What are the health benefits of mango" there, kind of reminds me of her toddler days. It's enough to make a mother tear up a little. OK. A lot. Sigh.
Recently, when Adee was fixing a sandwich in the kitchen she headed to Namely Marly to look for a hummus recipe to use as a condiment. After a long pause she said, "Mom, did you know you've posted a Carrot Hummus and a Green Monster Hummus, but there's no, like, basic hummus recipe on the site?"
I looked at her and smiled. That's my favorite kind of problem to solve!
I think we could all agree that the go-to recipe for your basic hummus is Ina Garten's Hummus recipe. It's probably the recipe from which every other hummus recipe has or ever will be created.
OK. Not exactly, but kinda.
So, today's recipe is not completely basic, because I added a little smoky flavor to this hummus, but it'll do.
What You'll Love About This Smoky Chipotle Hummus Recipe
People always make a big deal about protein. When you're vegan it's the question you hear most, "Where do you get your protein?" [insert eye roll here]
According to weight loss surgeon Dr. Garth Davis, the obsession with protein is a little misdirected. He suggests what we should be worried about instead is fiber. We get way more than enough protein in the US, but not nearly enough fiber.
I've been more than a little obsessed with fiber ever since.
The good news? Hummus delivers a healthy plant-based dose of both fiber and protein. Hummus is made from chickpeas which delivers 5 grams of protein and 4 grams of fiber in each half-cup serving. Not too shabby! That means if your goal is to get to 35 grams of fiber as Dr. Garth suggests, this Smoky Chipotle Hummus gets you a great start.
We hope you like this recipe as much as we do! If you decide to make it, snap a shot and share it with #namelymarly on Instagram or Twitter. We love seeing your photos!

How do you like to prepare crabs?
(The Times-Picayune Archive)
All this week we are saluting recipes for hot weather, and here's one we found in our archives that a New Orleans native, Bill Couret, shared with our readers in 2011. It's made with boiled seasoned crabs heated in buttery, onion-y sauce.
Barbecued Crabs
Makes 2 or 3 main-dish servings
6 seasoned boiled crabs, as fatty as possible
2 sticks (1/2 pound) margarine
2 onions, chopped fine
1 clove garlic, crushed or minced
1/2 cup hickory-flavored barbecue sauce
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Lots of warm French bread
Remove large back shell from each crab and remove fat from shell; set aside fat and discard back shells. Remove and discard "dead man" gills from crabs. Break crab bodies in half, leaving legs and claw on each half.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Meanwhile, in a large heavy cast-iron skillet, melt margarine over high heat. Add onions and saute until translucent, about six minutes. Add garlic, barbecue sauce and reserved crab fat, stirring well. Simmer sauce two minutes, stirring once or twice. Pour sauce over crabs in casserole.
Cover and bake for 15 minutes or just until crabs are heated through. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately in shallow soup bowls with French bread on the side.

I passed. What was my score?
You need a score of 550 points out of a possible 750 to be certified. ASQ Certification Exams are not designed to "rank" the relative performance of successful candidates. Rather, the exams are designed specifically to differentiate between competent and not-competent test takers. If we were to report the scale scores to successful candidates, we would be violating a specific area of the assessment standards called "Test Use" – i.e., it would be a misuse of the ASQ exams if someone who scored a 580 claimed to be "more competent" than someone who scored a 560 or a 570. The ASQ exams would require a different basic design (and would serve a very different purpose) in order for that kind of statement to be valid.
So called "rank-comparison examinations" do exist and are primarily used in the educational field. They are called "norm-referenced" tests, and they are designed to indicate a candidate's performance in relation to others who took that test. ASQ exams are criteria-based and are scored in terms of an established standard of performance that remains constant regardless of the variation in scores produced by any particular candidate population.

Pregnant women with severe mitral stenosis tend to experience clinical decompensation with approximately 50% mortality and they may experience adverse effects of the medication they are taking, notably congenital malformations from warfarin exposure. Corrective heart surgery may increase the risk of pregnancy loss. We present 2 cases of RHD in pregnancy. The first case was a 27-year-old patient in her first pregnancy with severe mitral stenosis. Caesarean section was done for foetal distress and she delivered a small for gestational age baby. She was closely monitored postpartum and was stable on discharge. She presented with supraventricular tachycardia and died in the coronary care unit 4 weeks postpartum. The second case was a 28-year-old who was on warfarin for a mechanical mitral valve. A foetal anomaly scan done at 20 weeks showed severe congenital malformations which were not compatible with extra-uterine life. The pregnancy was terminated and she recovered well. The first case illustrates the significant mortality risk with uncorrected severe rheumatic heart disease. The second case highlights the risks of warfarin on the foetus and the need to avoid mechanical heart valves if possible in young women. RHD patients require preconception counselling so they can make informed reproductive choices.
Cardiovascular disease complicates 1% to 3% of all pregnancies and accounts for 10% to 15% of maternal mortality [1]. In low income countries Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD) accounts for approximately 90% of all cardiovascular disease among pregnant women [2]. RHD is a disease of the young and its impact is seen in women of reproductive age. For some of these women an initial diagnosis is made antenatal or postpartum, as they fail to tolerate the impact of the physiological changes of pregnancy on their damaged heart valves resulting in clinical decompensation [1]. Symptomatic mitral stenosis (MS) has been associated with higher risk for antenatal hospital admission and approximately 50% mortality, which occurs most commonly in the postpartum period [3]. Though pregnancy for most women is indolent, it presents unique challenges for women with RHD. Besides the impact of the pregnancy and delivery on the heart, considerations also have to be made on the impact of RHD therapy on the foetus. Some medical therapies may be teratogenic, while surgical management in pregnancy may increase the risk of pregnancy loss. We present 2 cases of RHD in pregnancies with adverse maternal and foetal outcomes respectively.
Case 1: mrs. A was a 27 year old patient in her first pregnancy who was referred at 15 weeks gestation from a physician with a diagnosis of RHD. She had just been diagnosed with severe MS 3 weeks prior to presentation although she had been symptomatic since childhood. An echocardiogram showed mitral valve area (MVA) of 1cm2, Ejection Fraction (EF) of 59.3% and a moderately dilated left atrium of 55-60mm diameter with no pulmonary hypertension. A multidisciplinary team (MDT) was set up comprising a physician, cardiothoracic surgeon, obstetricians and an anaesthetist. The cardiothoracic surgeon offered open commissurotomy as percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty (PBV) was not available. She declined the in view of the procedure related risks. At 20 weeks gestation she was commenced on propranolol to treat a persistent tachycardia and prophylactic warfarin. She was switched from warfarin to low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) at 36 weeks gestation. At 38 weeks, an echocardiogram showed an MVA of 0.9cm2 and EF of 58%. Her functional status was New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II. The estimated foetal weight (EFW) was 1950g, with normal middle cerebral artery (MCA) and umbilical artery (UA) flow. In order to time the required lapse period between last dose of LMWH and the epidural procedure, she had elective induction of labour. She developed foetal bradycardia 6 hours after initiating induction. An emergency caesarean section was done under general anaesthesia as the epidural catheter which had been timed for established labour had not yet been inserted. She was given frusemide and antibiotics peri-partum. A 2020g live baby was delivered. She was discharged from hospital on day 7 on warfarin and was stable when reviewed by both physician and obstetrician 14 days postpartum. She was admitted to the Coronary Care Unit 4 weeks postpartum with shortness of breath, severe supraventricular tachycardia and hypotension and died 3 days later.
�Case 2: mrs. B is a 28 years old who presented at 10 weeks gestation. She was known to have RHD and was on warfarin for a mechanical mitral valve. The pregnancy had been planned against advice from her gynaecologist and cardiologist. She was asymptomatic (NYHA class I). She was started on folic acid 5mg daily. Her INR was within therapeutic range. At 20 weeks, a foetal anomaly scan showed severely dilated cerebral ventricles dangling choroid plexus, lemon shaped head. The inter-hemispheric fissure was present and there was no identifiable cortical brain tissue. The facial anatomy was normal. There was a discordant growth pattern with the bi-parietal diameter corresponding to 24 weeks, head circumference to 23 weeks but abdominal circumference and femur length both to 19 weeks. A repeat scan by a radiologist showed "evidence of a well formed cranium but with severe hydraencephaly with replacement of supratentorial brain parenchyma by cerebro-spinal fluid. There was mild preservation of posterior fossa structures with ventricles not easily describable." In the opinion of both the sonographer and the radiologist the findings were not compatible with extra-uterine life. The couple was informed and termination of the pregnancy (TOP) was done. Her INR was 2.3. She expelled the conceptus complete within 24hrs of induction. There was no excessive bleeding and she was discharged in a stable condition. Copper T intrauterine contraceptive device (Cu-IUCD) was offered.
We have presented 2 cases with valvular damage secondary to RHD who complicated with maternal death and congenital malformations respectively. The first case had not received preconception counselling. She was at high risk of poor maternal outcome as predicted by an MVA of 1cm2. The second case was high risk because of the mechanical heart valve (MHV) which is highly thrombogenic and requires prophylactic anticoagulation with warfarin. Both patients were managed appropriately by an MDT. Risks and benefits of transcatheter or surgical intervention, including mechanical/bio-prosthesis and valve repair should be discussed with such patients [4]. If possible, cardiac surgery should be avoided during pregnancy. MHVs increase the risk of pregnancy-related thromboembolic complications and the risk of anticoagulant therapy. Bio-prosthetic valves have the challenge of limited durability however women with bio-prosthetic heart valves who are haemodynamically stable tend to tolerate pregnancy very well and do not require anticoagulation. Valve replacement in women of reproductive age should be avoided if other interventions can be instituted. PBV would have been the preferred option because of the relatively low risk of maternal death and foetal loss [4]. The foetus in the second case developed hydraencephaly. Documented features of warfarin embryopathy include microcephaly, hydrocephalus, ventriculomegaly, agenesis of the corpus collosum and Dandy Walker malformation [5]. Hydraencephaly has not been documented in association with warfarin embryopathy, however the full spectrum of warfarin embryopathy is not fully understood and the foetal abnormalities seen in our case could be as a result of warfarin exposure. Warfarin is the most reliable anticoagulant for women with MHVs but is associated with a risk of warfarin embryopathy as well as a substantially increased risk of foetal loss [6]. Warfarin crosses the placenta and causes haemorrhage in foetal organs. The period of greatest risk of embryopathy is between the 6th and 9th weeks of gestation resulting in skeletal and facial anomalies. Exposure in the second and third trimesters may result in central nervous system abnormalities [7]. On the other hand, unfractionated heparin and LMWH are associated with an increased incidence of thromboembolism in patients with MHVs [6]. Women on warfarin are considered to be at risk of having a foetus with neural tube defects (NTD) and should be on 5mg of Folate supplementation. Supplementation should be started preconception [8]. The second case was unfortunately started on folate at 10 weeks gestation which was her first visit.
The first case was put on propranolol to control persistent tachycardia. Arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia are common complications in patients with RHD. The atrial and ventricular rate and rhythm can be controlled by using selective oral beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, amiodarone or digoxin [9]. Although a systematic review could not make conclusions on the effect of beta-blockers like propranolol on perinatal mortality and preterm birth, there was sufficient evidence that they do increase neonatal bradycardia and small for gestational age infants, apnoea, hypoglycaemia and hyperbilirubinemia [10]. The baby had low birth weight which might be attributed to intrauterine propranolol exposure. Non-selective beta-blockers like labetalol have fewer documented adverse foetal outcomes, but do not have proven efficacy in the treatment of arrhythmias. Amiodarone use in pregnancy has been associated with transient hypothyroidism, goitre and mild neurodevelopmental abnormalities in the foetus or new born. It is only indicated where maternal tachyarrhythmia is refractory to other safer drugs [11]. Digoxin easily crosses the placental barrier and is associated with increased risk for miscarriage and foetal death when the mother is taking very high doses [12]. The 1st case decompensated a month after delivery and died under physician care. The risk of maternal mortality is highest in the third trimester and puerperium [3]. Immediately postpartum, the cardiac output remains elevated in comparison to antenatal values due to the relief of caval compression, auto-transfusion from the uterus and continued resorption of extracellular fluid into the intravascular compartment. High level surveillance is required in the postpartum period until the haemodynamic changes have resolved. For unstable patients, hospital monitoring might be required for an extended period. Women with RHD particularly need to have planned pregnancies. Women taking anticoagulants, need a reliable contraceptive method which will not increase thrombotic risk, reduce menstrual blood loss and inhibits ovulation. The choice of contraceptive method should be based on the impact that an unplanned pregnancy will have, risks and benefits of each type and individual preferences. Sterilization is an option for the woman in the second case but she got the Copper T intra-uterine contraceptive device (Cu-IUCD) because it is difficult for women who have never conceived to accept permanent methods. Combined oral contraceptives are contraindicated in women with a history of mechanical heart valves [13].
Women with RHD of reproductive age must receive early preconception evaluation and advice regarding the potential impact of pregnancy on their cardiovascular function. Those who chose to conceive or present after conception need management by a MDT with emphasis on identifying and avoiding triggers of decompensation and fetal anomaly/loss throughout pregnancy and the puerperium.

The Ninevites were a murderous, brutal people, who terrorized the Middle East for centuries. They were rightly named the "bloody city" (Na 3:1). The Jewish people would probably have considered the Ninevites the people least likely to convert. Yet all 120,000 people in the city of Nineveh converted at the prophecy of Jonah (Jon 3:6; 4:11).
Saul was an accomplice in the murder of the first martyr, Stephen (Acts 7:58). Then Saul got worse. He "began to harass the Church. He entered house after house, dragged men and women out, and threw them into jail" (Acts 8:3). Saul admitted he was "a blasphemer, a persecutor, a man filled with arrogance" (1 Tm 1:13). To the persecuted Christians of the early Church, Saul was the least likely to convert. But he did convert and even became an apostle, one of the first Christian missionaries, and author of several books of the New Testament.
The first Christians were long persecuted and martyred by Rome and its emperors, especially by the brutal Nero and Domitian. Who would have thought that the Roman emperor, Constantine, would convert to Christianity and lead Rome to Christ?
Dr. Bernard Nathanson was the foremost abortionist in the USA. He even propagandized the country and the U.S. Supreme Court to get abortion legalized. Who would expect Nathanson and several other anti-life mass murderers and serial killers to give their lives to Jesus?
In His almighty power and merciful love, Jesus converts the "un-convertible." Live, act, and pray accordingly.

Face Value: 4 Perks of Marketing Campaigns Using Commercial Printers & Direct Mailers
To switch focus briefly from Canada Post's Breaking through the Noise whitepaper, let's look at some more advantages of using direct mail companies.
Why choose Troi Mailing Services for your marketing needs?
Your customers' inboxes are overflowing with faceless emails. Every email looks the same at face value until it is opened.
Commercial printing and direct mailing companies help to achieve pieces that are more captivating at face value. In comparison to email blasts that often carry generic or questionable content, direct mail delivers rare aesthetic care.
As mentioned above, direct mail products are physical symbols of your business's face. Anything from window envelopes to 4-color print to customized indicias will give your marketing product an immediate spirit.
Similarly, direct mail allows for you to acknowledge your customer as a real-world person. By mailing to your recipients at their physical locations, you respect your customers as people who fulfill active routines. Mail marketing is welcomed into these non-digital routines and spaces.
During direct mail planning, postal data is used to target potential areas of high ROI. Programs like Canada Post's Precision Targeter produce focused mailouts that capture specific geographies and demographics.
Email data will not share as much about your customer as postal and census data will. These superiorities lead into the fourth and final perk.
The postal industry has trusted you as a direct mailer to use confidential address information. This accredits a heightened sense of legitimized, non-threatening marketing.
Ultimately, email marketing is unable to say, "I know where you live," and expect welcoming responses.
To get your hands on a customized mailing master plan through Canada Post's Precision Targeter, please call Troi Mailing Services at (416) 757-5598 or 1-866-486-0423.

Whether you are trying to lose weight, maintain your silhouette or protect your heart against various diseases, the benefits of a healthy diet are widely diversified. This means you need to adopt a series of nutrients into your diet, including eating with specific limits. Practically, a healthy diet is given by fewer fats and plenty of carbohydrates, vitamins, proteins and minerals. These elements are mandatory for a general wealth. In order to decide on a proper diet, you obviously need to know its benefits. For instance, a good diet can contribute to a perfect heart, but also a quick digestion and a relaxing sleep. From this point of view, fruits and vegetables represent a must. However, incorporating all of them into your diet can be very expensive. A natural cocktail like Bob Edwards Youth Juice is definitely a good recommendation every once in a while.
Once you finally manage to change your dietary habits, you can count on a healthy weight. A proper weight is not necessary for your good looks only, but also to prevent some diseases. For instance, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases are often associated with obesity. Whether you try to lose weight or find a healthy weight control program, an adequate diet can work wonders on your body. This is one of the most important benefits of a good diet, especially when combined with some physical activity too.
Natural fruits, vegetables or cocktails can also stimulate the energetic levels in the body. They ensure the right amounts of essential nutrients, such as proteins, minerals and vitamins. The importance of such a diet can also be quantified by the fact that it provides the organism with balanced doses of nutrients. Practically, you can maintain your stamina and energy throughout the entire day. Moreover, it acts like an energy amplifier, so it can prevent the apparition of unexplainable tiredness. Therefore, you may not really feel the benefits overnight, but you can easily come up with a better effectiveness when dealing with daily activities.
Finally, remember that fruits and vegetables have the property to feed each organ in the body, including your skin. Although you may not really have the financial situation to invest in a fully natural diet, you can always compensate with natural cocktails like Bob Edwards YouthJuice. However, double check the list of ingredients and make sure you opt for recipes that are actually beneficial to your particular needs.

Community spirit from Sherborne Ltd
Friday, November 04th , 2016
Sherborne Ltd, our Bygone Premier Partner, have been a thriving presence in their community since their establishment in 1990. The goodwill received from their customers has seen them achieve substantial growth in the Hampshire, Surrey, Berkshire and London areas.
We were therefore very inspired to hear that this family run business is giving back to the community they serve by supporting the local Hartley Wintney Falcons under thirteens football team.
Chris Long, co-owner and Managing Director says "We are really pleased to be able to assist our community and I thoroughly enjoy running the team in my spare time along with Joss Mathesion. Our company is sponsoring the kit and parents are contributing by buying the match snacks each week.
Because we also supply doors and conservatories along with sash windows, we were in the fortunate position of being able to replace the main doors of the football clubhouse free of charge when needed. We remain totally committed to our local community and to the environment. "
Find out more about Sherborne Ltd here or talk to them about your Bygone sash window requirements by calling 0800 0484 671.

Be aware that like the Yin and the Yang, the Alpha and the Omega, there are also polar opposites with people practicing in the Yoga Scene. They are affectionately known as the Yip and the Yog. Simply put, the Yip is the yogically hip; the purveyor of the cool, tight and trendy pimp chic look of contemporary yoga. Fed by the Yoga Industrial Marketing and Merchandising Complex (YIMMCo), these yogis have evolved the simple needs of yoga into an alt-yogic lifestyle. Too hip to read yoga magazines (though they tend to sneak peeks from time to time to verify how ahead of the yoga curve they are) they seek out their too cool and post-mod ideas on Buddhist web sites.
The Yog on the other hand is "not". They, most likely, are beginner yogis that have not been tainted by the YIMMCo as of yet. In certain urban yoga studios, the Yog will be made to feel unwelcome and may even be discouraged from pursuing Yoga. They may, however, be given the advice to check out the Yoga Fashion page of the YogaDawg website before going back to a yoga class.
To help guide you on your path to Yoga Yipness, the following is a handy guide to refer to when confronted with choices in the Yoga World.
Yoga Music:
YIP - Dave Stringer, David Newman, Deva Premal
YOG - Krishna Das, Enya, Yanni
Style of Yoga:
YIP Male – Ashtanga
YIP Female – Jivamukti
YIP Female – Jivamukti
YOG – Iyengar, Anusara, Bikram or Generic Vinyassa
Yoga Clothing:
YIP – YogaDawg Gear or anything designed by independent, gay yoga clothes designers living in the East Village of NYC or in a pince, Lululemon.
YOG - Yoga clothing line from Target or Walmart.
Yoga Mat:
YIP Male – The Black Manduka or the YogaDawg, It Ain't Lavender Men's Yoga Mat
YIP Female – The Purple Manduka or the YogaDawg Natural HempYoga SuperMat
Note: The YogaDawgMyPodSouthParkTripleLatte Super Mat is also acceptable to Yips of a certain age (see Yoga Mats chapter).
Yog – Pastel colored PVC mat from Target or a Pilate mat.
Yoga Accessories:
YIP - Mala (worn on wrist), Co-exist or Free Tibet bumper sticker on Prius, top shelf Kombucha, has the smell of Dr. Bronner's and essential oils, altar (sacred space) on dashboard, Tibetan prayer flag in home studio, a year pass to a trendy and expensive yoga studio, Sanskrit name such as Shanti or Shakti, lives in LA or NYC
YOG – A rosary worn around neck, My Other Car Is A Yoga Mat bumper sticker on SUV, water in an eco friendly, reusable water bottle, vision boards, has the smell of sage incense, feathers or dream catcher hanging from rearview mirror (or hanging from their ears), DVDs from current yoga stars, normal name such as Brad or Buffy, lives somewhere other then LA or NYC.
YIP - Buddhist, Taoist, Hindu symbols or any symbols from an obscure Eastern based religion.
YOG – Om symbol or anything other then the above or worse, none at all.
Religious Affiliation:
YIP – Buddhist, Taoist, Hindu or any obscure Eastern religion.
YOG – Wicca, any Judeo-Christian religion or New Age belief.
Reading Material:
YIP – The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Light on Yoga, and Yoga Enquirer.
YOG – Anything by Deepak Chopra, Eckhart Tolle, and Yoga Journal.
Age Limit:
YIP– 21 through 32
YOG – Other then above
Special Note: Yips can morph into YogaDawgs after the age of thirty-two. Though not considered as hip as a Yip, YogaDawgs are still quite respected in the Yip community.
Special Note 2: YogaDawgs will continue to maintain this designation and respect from the Yip community as long as they refrain from any of the following:
1. Moves to the suburbs
2. Works in an office
3. Works as an accountant, engineer, programmer or salesperson
4. Lives with a partner that does one of the above

Construction of the Mickelson National Golf Club continues to progress and it's exciting to see; spring and summer promise major steps towards a planned soft opening of at least nine holes in 2018.
In 2016, the shaping process was completed with 14 holes of drainage and 11 holes having irrigation finished. Over 800 trees have been planted with another 3000 to be planted in 2017.
To traverse the course's undulating contours, crews have started building bridges with seven bridges scheduled to be complete for April 15, 2017. Construction will be completed this season allowing for seeding to begin this Spring on 11 holes, and the other seven by mid to late summer.
Mickelson National Golf Club is a private golf club, and to date has just over 100 members with total membership to be capped at 395. Mickelson members have to join Windmill's other clubs to play golf or wait until Mickelson National is open.
For more information see mickelsonnational.com or www.windmillgolf.com

I have something very different to what I would normally write about here on schoolrunbeauty.com.
The prompt for today's #BEDM post is poetry. Well I'm no poet. So instead I thought I would share with you my favourite poem.
This poem is nearly 100 years old but it is still very powerful and has relevance with me even today.
I was first introduced to it as part of my GCSE work almost twenty years ago. I can still quote many of the lines off by heart.
It is a War poem written by Wilfred Owen in 1917 called Dulche et Decorum et.
Yes it's a little bit on the morbid side but every time I hear it it reminds me of how lucky I am. That neither my children or I have to live through the sort of horrors that were supposed to end 'war to end all wars'.
Of course there are still major conflicts today, and sadly probably will be for many years to come.
Let's remind ourselves now how lucky those of us that live in peaceful communities are and how both men and women, such of as those in the poem, have sacrificed so that we can.
Dulche et Decorum et
Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs,
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots,
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of gas-shells dropping softly behind.
Gas! GAS! Quick, boys!—An ecstasy of fumbling
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time,
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And flound'ring like a man in fire or lime.—
Dim through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.
In all my dreams before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.
If in some smothering dreams, you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,—
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.
By Wilfred Owen
Makes you think doesn't it?
The featured painting is titled 'Gassed' and it by American Artist John Singer Sargent. It was the image that accompanied the poem in my GCSE textbook.
Bye for now, Katy x

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful reply. I thank you so much for your concern too in regards to my hips. I forgot to mention that I have been using a Pilates video of very slow, gentle stretching movements and this seems to be helping. I don't think I'm having issues with the bones but rather with muscle tightness. Last night was my first pain free night and this morning I felt great too. I did my Pilates stretching first, then your ab workout and then the 32 min. walking workout. I will try to listen to my body and rest accordingly. I also forgot to say how much I enjoyed the ladies with you in the video - they are so encouraging with their smiles while working out so hard. :-)

Thank you Catharine for your input. I will take what you both have said to heart. :-)

Blessings, and yes, all Glory to God,

Caroline, I agree that the Shapely Girl workouts are fun but deceptively challenging--I love the Let's Get Stepping! DVD, but I''m still not ready to add the risers.

Thanks for the support! I am an exercise physiologist and would highly recommend that you rest and get that hip looked at by either a chiropractic or sports medicine doctor since you are an athlete and very active. God has been my navigator for over 25 years and he will continue to be that driving force in my life.

I checked out one of your videos at the library (walking fit and fab) and just LOVE it! I have always been thin and very active. Running and more recently power walking are my passions. But I have been having pain in my hips so decided to do something different. To be honest, I didn't think I would get much of a workout with your tape but that was Ok because I wanted something "easy" to use. Well, was I in for a surprise! I really was sweating and huffing and puffing at the end of the session. Thank you for your inspiration and I will be ordering two of your videos soon! I'm glad too to see that you are a Christian. Me too!!!

Have you ever wanted to surprise your mother? Here's a no-fail, step-by-step method:
1. A few weeks ahead of time, ask her if she'd like to go with you to a book sale. Make it sound really amazing-- they'll be selling lots of vintage German children's books, and each volunteer (oh, ya, you're volunteering at the sale) is only allowed to bring one other person to the pre-sale. She might come up with excuses, so keep making the sale sound better and better. Also mention that you usually bring your friend Kate with you, but this year she's due to have a baby around the time of the sale, so she probably won't be able to go. Everything in step 1 is a lie, so feel free to embellish to your heart's content. It's fun!
2. The day of the "book sale," meet your mom early for lunch. Bring along a little gift bag. Over lunch, plan your strategy for the book sale and mention that Kate had her baby the day before. Since the lunch spot you picked is located one block from the hospital, ask your mom if she minds stopping by the hospital really quickly to drop off a gift before heading to the sale. You won't stay long; you'll just drop off the gift and go. Don't make it an option for your mom to wait in the car! Kate would love to see her.
3. Check in at the hospital. Fill out some paperwork. If your mom mentions that she's never had to fill out paperwork to visit a baby before, say, "Me neither! They've really tightened up security!" Have a seat in the waiting room.
4. After waiting a few minutes, ask your mom if she wants to see the gift you have for Kate's baby. Hand her the gift bag. Watch as she pulls out a little box...
Inside the box, she finds a little hat, folded up... tell her to go ahead and unfold it...
What's this?
Wait a second!
There is no book sale! And Kate didn't really have a baby yesterday!
5. Your husband pops out from behind the corner with the camera. The nurse calls your name, and your mom gets to meet her new grandbaby for the very first time...
