So, the blessed day has arrived, that second pink line has finally appeared, and you are pregnant! Maybe it's your first baby, maybe it's your 6th. Either way, knowing you are about to bring a baby into the world can be very exciting and overwhelming all rolled into one. At first, 9 months seems pretty far away, but as that due date draws near, it's easy to get overwhelmed with all the changes about to take place when your new little addition arrives. How do you prepare for a new baby on a small budget? Money is, unfortunately, also part of having a baby, a BIG ANNOYING part. Finances have been tight most of our marriage, so I've just learned by experience how to prepare for a new baby on a small budget. Hopefully what I have learned will help ease your stress a little so you can put more of your focus on just getting through those not so comfortable months of pregnancy and welcoming the newest member of your family!
Also, one of my biggest tips is to Create an Amazon Baby Registry because they have something called a "universal" registry–meaning you can register for things from other websites too, so that your guests can shop from ONE list. Plus they give you a coupon off of all this stuff, so register now even if you aren't planning on having a shower.
Buy Buy Baby is another great site to have a registry for. Here are a few of the perks:
- Complimentary announcement cards to mail out to friends and family.
- Referral program: Refer other friends to register at buybuy BABY, the retailer will send you a Referral Award valid for $25 off any purchase of $100 or more. Great for picking up the more expensive baby gear!
- Enjoy10% off any items remaining on your registry after your baby's expected arrival date.
- Registry checklist and expert buying guides will help you make informed decisions before making major purchases.
- Free buybuybaby.com goody bag upon registering (pick up in stores, limited areas).
Needs vs. Wants. Make a list of things you feel like you want for this baby. Include everything from binkies and breast pumps to diapers and blankets! Then, go through that list and put a check mark by that things that you know are absolute needs. This will help you see what the bare minimum is that you can get by with. If it's your first, you may be surprised how many things that you think you need, that you can actually get by without. Every person is different, but I will just name a few of the things I realized I didn't actually need.
- Changing table. If you're really tight, don't worry about this one. You really don't need it. You can just change your baby on your bed on top of a towel. If you would still rather have a designated place in your baby's room for diaper changes you can do what I did for 2 of mine. I bought one of these changing pads and placed it on top of a dresser. Worked great! That leads to the next thing…
- Changing pad covers. I have never bought specially made covers for my pads because I always felt like they were overpriced. Instead I have done 3 different things over the years to cover mine. When times were really tough, I used towels, when I wanted something that would stay on better, I bought cheap king sized pillow cases. They fit perfectly! With my last baby (#4) I waited till flannel went on sale for $1 a yard, then bought some cute prints that matched my baby's room and made my own pillow cases to slip over. Easy!
- Fancy Bottles. There is an endless sea of bottles Glass, plastic, curved, straight, print or solid colored, fancy valves for colic, you name it! Seriously, just make sure it's BPA free and it doesn't leak. Every baby gets colicky regardless of what bottles are being used. Don't feel like you have to break the bank on this one. I've used these and these and BOTH worked great! You don't need a ton of bottles. Just wash them out after using and they're ready to go for the next feeding.
- Crib bumper. Cute, but not necessary.I had one with my first and it kept me up at night because I always worried my baby would get their face smooched into it and suffocate. Save yourself the lost sleep and moola
Here is a list of things that I felt were definite needs to prepare for a new baby: (your needs may be different. )
1. Breast pads. You may be one of those blessed women who don't leak all the time but I was not! After I had my first child, I seriously spent more money on disposable breast pads than diapers. I am NOT kidding! After that, I got smart and bought washable breast pads like these to save us a bundle of money. If you are expecting your first, maybe buy some disposable ones or just a couple of pairs of the washables until you know for sure how your body will be. May the odds be ever in your favor!!
2. Breast Pump. I started out with a cheap hand pump like this and it worked great till I got a massive breast infection and found myself having to pump a lot. Then my husband, after seeing the turmoil I was going through hand pumping all day) went on ebay and bought me an electric one like this. We payed half the price and just bought new tubing, shields, and accessories to make sure it was hygienic since it was pre-used. If you know someone who is not currently using their pump you could even borrow one. (even better!)
3. Burp Cloths. You just CANNOT have enough of these. I found that cloth diapers like these work the best for being cheap, durable, and absorbent. If you want to make them cute there are PLENTY of tutorials on pinterest on how to do that!
4. Swaddling Blanket. Unfortunately I didn't learn how valuable it was to swaddle my baby until my 3rd. Oh, the joy when I learned how to swaddle and my babies finally slept longer than an hour. I was ONE, HAPPY MOMMA! There are lots of different swaddling blankets out there. after a lot of trial and error, we finally invested in one of these. (2 is great, but we only ended up needing 1) All the others were just too small or easy for our baby to get out of. I have used our miracle blanket through 2 kids now and it still shows no signs of wear and tear. Sometimes quality is better than quantity! You can't put a price on sleep with a newborn!! For more ideas on what you you might or might not not need, check out this post by my sister on Mother's Niche.com.
5. Bassinet. Ok, let me start by saying that I USED to not think this was a necessary item. When we had our first baby, someone gave us a BEAUTIFUL bassinet and I was so excited to use it! I was very disappointed when my baby would NOT sleep in it. (This was before I learned about swaddling my babies) So I gave the bassinet away and decided that it worked better to keep my babies close in bead with me. They always slept better that way. The problem with doing this is that my newborn would get 50% of the bed (in the middle) while my husband and I would be on each opposite side hanging onto a measly 25% each because we were so paranoid about falling asleep close to the baby and smothering them in our sleep! Fast forward to about 2 years ago, my sister in law introduced me to a cheaper, yet absolutely wonderful bassinet. She swore it was the best ever and that her baby was almost sleeping through the night in it. It's called a Rock N' Play Sleeper. I caved and bought one and I have NEVER regretted it. I only wish I had it for ALL of my babies! The combination of swaddling and using this rocker was like magic! Most moms know that babies sleep really well in their carseats because they feel more secure. This has an incline like a carseat (great for acid reflux!), it folds in about 5 seconds for traveling, fits just about anywhere (loved having it next to my bed) and just ROCKS! (pun intended 🙂 ) Bottom line: Bassinet's are NOT absolutely essential, but if you can afford one like this, GET IT! It will pay you back in many more hours of peaceful sleep (for YOU and the BABY!)
6. The 4-in-1 Nursing Cover. I didn't have this kind with my first two babies, and got it with my 3rd. It is AMAZING! Not only does it double as a scarf and car seat cover, but it's also breathable and lightweight, and provides full coverage. It's one of my all-time favorite products.
Baby Clothes. If this is your first baby, chances are, you will get a lot of baby clothes at your baby shower (make sure someone throws one for you!!) but you will still need to fill in the gaps with what you don't get, not to mention all the years to come as your baby grows. Let me give you some valuable advice on this: BUY USED! Kids go through clothes SO fast and there is an endless sea of mothers out there who have boxes of baby clothes sitting in their basements. Better yet, before you buy, ask around to see if someone just wants to get rid of their clothes. Better you than good will, right? 90% of my kids clothes have come from hand downs. I usually have MORE than what they need! If you really want to buy brand new everything, go ahead. I'd rather spend that money on diapers!!
Diapers. Let's face it, diapers can be a huge expense until your child is potty trained and chances are, by then, baby #2 will be on the way so forget getting a break from that budget buster! I have done both cloth diapers and disposable and have to say that you can do either on a small budget. There are so many new cute cloth diapers out there and smart tools to make them less of a hassle and less….gross. I cloth diapered my second child and really never felt like it was a huge hassle and it saved us a bundle of money. When I had 3 kids and then 4 I just didn't feel like I had the energy or sanity so I went back to disposables. That being said, I started stocking up when I was pregnant so I could take advantage of sales when they came. When you see a great deal on diapers, stock up! It's so nice when you are walking around in a sleepy haze after your baby is born, to NOT have to run to the store for diapers! Generic diapers usually go on sale at a good price or name brand can be bought with coupons (if you have them) I love Amazon mom for this because I can get name brand diapers for almost as cheap as generics. Free 2 day shipping is also included with amazon mom and I take advantage of that to do all of my other shopping! Right now you can sign up for a 30 day free trial and also get a $10 credit towards your first purchase. Click here to find out more. Nursing vs. Formula. No question here, breast milk is best and also FREE! I will always say that breastfeeding is the way to go, especially on a small budget. Having said that, I'm not gonna lie to you, the first 4-6 weeks of breastfeeding can be ROUGH and painful and…frustrating! It was rough for all 4 of my newborns. If you can get past those rough weeks though, it is so worth it! I loved being able to nurse my babies in bed or on the go without the hassle of making bottles or buying formula. With my 4th baby, though, I got a double breast infection that almost brought my breast milk to a complete halt! I honestly thought we would have to do 100% formula. It took about 2 months and lots of supplementing but eventually I got my milk back completely. IF you decide NOT to breastfeed, PLEASE don't feel bad about it. I spent so much time stressing and crying when I was having to feed my baby formula, but he was just fine! Do your best, but don't beat your mommy self up if you have to do something different that what you had planned.
Hospital Bills. If you don't have insurance, there are still ways to cut your bill dramatically. A friend of mine was stressing because she knew they would have to pay their entire bill and they had hardly the money to do so! She was smart and went directly to the hospital and talked to someone on the labor and delivery staff. They gave her a list of everything that they normally charged for. She was surprised at all the things she could say no to and not have to pay for. Also, they told her that if she had no complications and wanted to, she could go home a day earlier and pay half as much!
Take advantage of online discounts and cash back opportunities. Always take advantage of cash back for any online purchases you make. I love EBATES for this because it's as simple as signing up for an account and then just going through their site to your favorite shopping sites. Then, whatever you buy, they give you cash back. Plus, they give you a cash bonus when you first sign up. Done! You'd be surprised at how fast it builds up! Also, after you sign up, make sure you install the Ebates bookmark button to your search bar so that you get reminders every time you are on a site that is eligible for cash back. Before I did this, I would always forgot and miss out on my cash back. I also love Zulily for great discounts on mom and baby/kid products.
Organize your efforts. It can be overwhelming to think of everything that needs to be done to prepare for a new baby. Instead of letting you're ever growing list stress you out, organize your efforts and do what is most important first. Also, don't forget to take care of yourself and enjoy those things that you won't be able to enjoy right after having a baby. I love the following post by my sister Trish and it will help you to realize what you can do RIGHT NOW during these pregnancy months in a simplified way.
10 Things to do BEFORE you have Your Baby
Ask for Help! Don't be afraid to ask family and friends for help! This last pregnancy, we needed a new crib. I mentioned it to a few friends and got a phone call one day from one of them saying that she was done having kids and "Would I like to have their crib?." A few weeks later, another friend called to inform me that someone in her family was moving and "Would I like their changing table?" That was such a blessing! Spread the word and use Facebook! There are so many resources out there to share. Then, when you find yourself , in the future, not needing your baby clothes or stuff anymore, pay it forward and give to someone in need!
Remember, you are being watched over. I have always been surprised and humbled at how I have been taken care of during all my pregnancies. I believe all my babies come from a Heavenly Father who is always watching over them and me. If babies come from heaven, don't you think our Father in Heaven will help you take care of them? Have faith, ask and pray for help and then put the rest in the Lord's hands. You will surprised at the blessings that can come! Do your part, and then let Him do the rest. Never let money discourage you from bringing a baby into this world. Follow your heart! I wish you the best of joy in your pregnancy and in your new life with your new baby!
Here's a funny and uplifting music video that I know you will just love. If this is your first pregnancy, this will give you a glimpse of what you have to look forward to, if it's not your first, it'll give you a good laugh because you already know and can relate! Once again,this was done by my sister, Trish. If you haven't read any of her posts on this blog, do it a.s.a.p! She is my hero and one of the greatest moms I know! Enjoy!!

It is 11:13 pm of the first day of the Summer Writer's Club Challenge.
I did it!
I'm not counting my work on The Eye of God or work that I'm supposed to be doing each day. I still have at least another 40 minutes of writing left in me before I have to work on the real work, and I'm going to spend it on another project. However, my official day's count for the first day is 583 words on The City of Clocks.
Are you participating in the Summer Writer's Club Challenge? If so, how did you do today?

|Applies To:
|This information assumes to know how to use
the Citect debugging kernel.
If the performance of Citect is sluggish there are many diagnostic tools that allow you to trace the cause of the problem. Slow response can be caused by two main problems:
When you change pages, if the background graphics are displayed quickly, but there is a long delay before they are animated, then the response time from the PLC is the cause. When Citect changes pages, it first requests all data from the I/O Server, then starts to draw the background image. While Citect is drawing the background image the I/O Server will be reading the required data from the PLCs. When Citect has finished drawing the background image it will wait for all the data to come back from the I/O Server before animating the page - the page will not be animated until the very last piece of data has been returned. This will mean that the update of the page will be dependent on the slowest PLC response time. If you have 1 slow PLC, it will effect the animation time.
If Citect is generally sluggish, for example when you hit a key to change pages it takes a little while even before the background animation starts to be displayed, then the CPU may be overloaded. In the debug Kernel check the CPU usage. If the CPU usage is higher than 60% most of the time, the computer is overloaded. You may want to trend the CPU value by using the CitectInfo function to give you a better view of what is happening.

Our Bodies, Our Selfies: Public Showcase
6pm - 7pm / 5 October / AND Hub / FREE
Everyone's a performance artist on social media. It's not just what you share, it's how you share it: you're the art director of your own life, and the critical distance you assume in deciding what will make the cut can be a mechanism of survival or it can be a source of anxiety.
Jesse Darling presents the results of Our Bodies Our Selfies: Reclaiming Overshare for Its Revolutionary Potential, a three-day experimental group workshop aimed at taking control of our bodies and our selfies in the age of identity production.
Supported by the Live Art Development Agency.
Our Bodies, Our Selfies is part of Abandon Normal Devices festival, hosted in 2013 by FACT. For further information on the rest of the AND festival programme visit www.andfestival.org.uk

When it came to September, however, UBS showed more caution. With the Fed having previously stated it wouldn't begin reducing the balance sheet until it was "well underway" when it comes to lifting rates, UBS saw the sequencing of when the Fed hiked and what economic data – in particular inflation – came out, as key.
"September would also be a natural time for Chair (Janet) Yellen to elaborate on the FOMC's framework for balance sheet reduction, but that it wants to accumulate more data to confirm that the economy is growing as anticipated," said UBS, with the economists adding that if all went smoothly data-wise, this could lead to the Fed announcing the reduction of its balance sheet in December.
"The FOMC still feels a sting from the taper tantrum. Even though they believe in their hearts that 'markets got it wrong,' they will likely nevertheless try doubly hard to clearly telegraph the balance sheet move (as they have been doing so far). Such caution suggests that they would most likely NOT announce the end of reinvestment and hike at the same meeting. Shrinking the balance sheet depends even more heavily on the data (especially inflation) coming in as forecast."
"A delay in September would most likely cause a delay in balance sheet unwind," UBS concludes.

Vermilion Souls Trailer (2007)
15 January 2007 Drama, Foreign 104 mins
Set in Tokyo seven years after the end of WWII, this surreal story revolves around the dreams and realities of a young boy who strays into a strange mansion while out chasing fliers dropped by a small aeroplane. Confined inside are four adults suffering from an incurable disease ('porphyria', which the author avoids specifying by name in the screenplay) which prevents them from having exposure to the sun.

Dennis Huts is a neo Nazi activist from Perth. Huts is the leader of the United Patriots Front in Perth, a gang of hardened neo Nazis. Huts made his first video for the UPF when he picked on a man in a small Muslim prayer room in a hospital. He then made an odd video where he walked around a university filming young people going about their day. What a fucking creep. In this video he claimed that education was a Marxist conspiracy initiated by the Jews following World War Two.
Huts rocked up at a rally organised by the United Against Bigotry and Racism group with a megaphone before being ejected from the area for inciting violence. Huts was in luck when his mates from UPF in Melbourne joined him for the November Reclaim Australia rally in Perth. Just when you think this pathetic creep couldn't get creepier, he goes and makes a video with his kids about white pride, with a subtle ending slide. What a fucking psycho.
Dennis had his big day on the 22nd of November, getting ready to welcome his fascist UPF mates into Perth for the rally. Unfortunately for old mate, the rally turned out to be a total failure with less than 100 in attendance. The UPF remained delusional and used embellishment to relay the 'success' of the rally.
(Straight outta Nuremberg)
I guess this is where the future of Australia should lie, in the hands of a paedophilic reptile that hangs around universities with a video camera and spends his spare time harassing people in hospital prayer rooms. Dennis, who runs the FB page called The Thinking Patriot, was also confirmed as being responsible for dumping a pigs head in the toilet of the University of Western Australia in late 2015 in an attempt to offend Muslim students.
(What UPF campaigning really looks like)
Dennis's latest spot of bother was when his former lover Indie Rose Oliver exposed him for his violent history relating to his ex wife among other things. To add insult to injury he threatened Rose's children and slut shamed her after she defected from the UPF.
This deranged neo Nazi is using the UPF Facebook page to endorse fascist groups overseas. I mean, its not even a secret anymore.
(British neo Nazi group National Action)
(neo Nazi group Patriots of Ukraine)
(Greek neo Nazi group Golden Dawn)
Dennis announced prior to the UPF's third Bendigo rally that he would leave the UPF. He stated he would be stepping down as the media attention was causing stress within his family life. In reality, Huts was afraid his criminal record (unknown) may effect the party's progress.
Well guess who is back from a brief hiatus (read: i quit tantrum). The worlds most creepiest white supremacist lurker. Great!. Dennis made his return when he mimicked Blair's anti Mosque banner at the West Coast vs Fremantle game. Dennis wasn't happy when he and a few of his mates were banned for life from entering AFL games.
Dennis and his deranged Nazi gang have been on the assault putting up UPF posters across the streets of Perth. They also rocked up at a Safer Schools protest on the 24th of April to harass and counter demonstrate the rally. Initiated by Huts, they attacked protesters with Dennis assaulting a young woman for holding a sign he didn't like. As a result he and his buddies were escorted away by police for their own safety. What a fucking scumbag.
(Huts striking young woman)
As time ticks on in Australia's neo Nazi and patriot movements so to does Huts relevance. The creep has not produced any videos stalking people of late. The man appears washed out and on his way out again. Only time will tell if he has any public harassment stunts up his sleeve.
Huts and co turned up once again in August to harass the lefties in Perth. He has kept to turning up with his megaphone and a handful of mates to rant and rave at the local Trot coalition United Against Bigotry & Racism. This time, Huts and his mates see themselves as defenders of Pauline Hanson or something. Once again, very little defending done at all.
Huts is on the attack again in Perth. What has set him off this time? an announcement that the invasion day Fremantle fireworks display will not happen this year on account of its offence to local indigenous communities. The fact that 1st nations have to endure a day celebrating their colonisation and attempted eradication is quite enough one would have thought, rather than triggering explosions in honour of this genocidal land grab. Huts turned up at the Mayors office to film and intimidate staff, going on to claim that he and his merry band of followers intend to bring a "rain of shit" upon them if they do not do as he says.
Dennis and his gang of UPF nazi delinquents gatecrashed a anti Trump demonstration. Gee wiz , haven't done that before. In typical Huts fashion he assaulted a young person by shoving them before being escorted out of the rally safely by police. Get your shit together Perth.
Dennis not even hiding his Nazism anymore
Everyones favourite deranged reptile has been at it again. In a very predictable way, Huts was mad about the Fremantle councils decision to ban fireworks on Invasion Day. A infuriated Huts jumped on the UPF page and told his tiny band of not so merry men that they were going to do their own fireworks show on the day as a symbol of defiance to the councils decision. Suffice to say that no major UPF rally took place at all, and they merely tagged along to a pre-arranged fireworks display.
Huts also managed to find time to visit Pauline Hanson in January during her visit to Perth. Huts and his mates turned up uninvited to act as her self appointed security detail. Awkward enough for the boys no one even heard about the visit or bothered turning up. After filming himself next to Pauline talking to others, Huts went for a wonder where he went on a rant claiming Anglo Saxons built Australia. And no one else……
Fremantle council & Muslims are not the only ones targeted by this reptile. Huts turned up to the local Socialist Alliance office/ bookshop in Perth while it was closed and alleged the council was funding the group. He put up a UPF poster with a water spray and pissed off. I guess no one told Dennis that water on glass will dry and his poster will be gone with the breeze almost as quickly as he will. He also turned up to try and hassle the Wetland Defenders, a small group of protesters opposed to the development of Roe8 road link in Fremantle. After swearing and hurling abuse at bystanders he assumed to be members of this group, Huts tried to kiss cop ass before being moved on for being a general nuisance.
Huts & co have been active in the days leading up to the WA election, voluntarily jumping on the campaign for Pauline Hanson. This has included the usual Huts MO being banner drops and rocking up to her events to act as her self appointed security force. Again. On the 9th of March at the Paddington Alehouse in Mount Hawthorn, Hanson addressed a meeting of her supporters. The gathering was met by a mediocre counter demonstration by a group of chanty student types from the local Trot brigade. Dennis and a handful of TBC and UPF members turned up to hurl abuse back at them from behind police lines, shouting out the names of the local Socialist Alternative organisers, obviously too arrogant and stupid to hide their personal identities online.

General Motors has teamed up with researchers at the new National Tire Research Center in Virginia to boost fuel economy by developing new tire technology. GM released a statement last week to say that tire design could improve fuel efficiency by up to 7%. Some of the factors that affect the tire's rolling resistance are variations in tread pattern, construction and material quality.
If a vehicle has a lower rolling resistance, it needs less fuel to move the vehicle forward. Customers will be able to save on gasoline by using tires with lower rolling resistance, as well as more efficient conventional engines and electric powertrains.
GM had contributed $5 million to the National Tire Research Center. The statement said further that automakers and tire manufacturers will be able to simulate real-world emergencies and boost highway safety with the most advanced tire performance machines.
The center owns tire performance test equipment that costs as much as $11.2 million. The equipment, known as the Flat-Trac LTRe, can make a tire run to as fast as 200 mph and offer information on handling, ride, torque and braking capabilities. GM and other auto engineers from the Flat-Trac LTRe could generate data that will be able to predict vehicle performance for low rolling resistance, improved road-handling capability and other criteria.
Frank Della Pia, executive director for the research center, said that the test equipment of the facility is a lot like moving up "from a basic telescope to the Hubble" so there are numerous possibilities that have opened up. According to a GM spokesperson, the company wants to continue collaborating with the research center for the next 20 years. The spokesperson declined to talk about future models but he did admit that there may be market implementation within two or three years.

- Description
- Mackenzie from Wismar on the west bank of the Demerara River. Wismar was so called after a town of the same name in Germany. Before the bridge over the river was constructed the only way across was by small boats. Prior to the introduction of outboard engines, passengers paid 4 cents (about 1p in today's money) for the priviledge of rowing themselves across the river, the boatman using a large paddle as a rudder. Smoke and dust pollution from the processing plant can be seen billowing from chimneys in the background. Concerning the bauxite dust, there was an old saying: "you breathed it, ate it, and slept on it", as it pervaded everything.

In case you couldn't tell I do like cats
Very neat wallhanging. Love the effect with the black and white.
I love this it would make a great gift for any cat lover.
Ok it took me a minute to find the 2nd cat, really pretty.
Very interesting silhoette work. You would be very popular around my LQS as we do our sewing projects for next June's Humane Society fund raiser
I love this! I love cats too and this is an interpretation I've never seen before! Great job!
This quilted wall hanging is just beautiful.
I love this. Where can i get the pattern?

a VirtualTourist member from Helsinki
Any comments about the Ag. Anna beach near the Ag. Anna port?
Is it good to swim there? Or should we walk to the Prokopios beach for a swim?
How about the restaurants + supermarkets in Ag. Anna?
And one more thing...
There is this Church in Ag. Anna (near the port?), how early it starts to ring the bells?
And is this every morning operation?
Well, I think it was Ag.Anna port... There is a bus stop of Ag.Anna and the beach of Ag.Anna is just near by it. But I didn't recognize any port there...hmn. It's very beautiful beach with sand there. If you liked calm beach, you can walk for several min. from the sandy beach and you will see rocky beach there. It's good for enjoying just among your people. At a beach, you can rend beach chairs with an umbrella. Of course, there are some nice restaurants near by the beach. You can order among several tasty seafood menu and I bet you like all. Some serve you pizza and typical Greek cuisine as well. Go there and see what you take as lunch! As to church, I'm sorry. I can't remember it. But people there are very kind and you can ask anyone about it. Religious Greek passengers on a bus cross on their hearts whenever their bus passes by the church.
It is very good 2 swim there.(You should also try to visit Plaka and Agios Prokopios...)I wouldn't actually call it a port.it's too small...Agia Anna is a touristic area so u should be adle to find everything there satisfactory.as for the church i wouldn't worry about it....
Have a nice holiday in our island...

Space glyph disappearing?Submitted by Matthew Desmond on 13 May 2013 - 4:58pm
I've made a font for a client that has built in underlines.
The font works well, except for when it is converted to outlines. The space character (simply the underline shape and nothing else) disappears.
Has anyone ever experienced this or know of a workaround?

With the start of the Tartan Day Scotland Festival 2015 coinciding with the start of the school holidays, there will be no shortage of activities for children of all ages across Angus from 3-12 April.
The Tartan Day Scotland Festival is an annual celebration of Scotland and the Scots inspired by the signing of the Declaration of Arbroath on 6 April 1320. As well as a special day of events at Arbroath Abbey on 6 April 2015, a range of other Tartan Day Scotland Festival family events will take place in and around Angus.
Throughout the festival, libraries across Angus will be holding Lego in The Library events, where children can listen to a Scottish tale and build McLego models. In addition, young visitors to Kirriemuir's Gateway to the Glens Museum can colour in kilts and design their own tartans, while children of primary school age can compete in a fun competition spotting – and naming – the tartans on display in Forfar's shop windows.
On Saturday, 4 April, West Links Family Fun Day will celebrate the first day of Arbroath's summer season and the re-opening of the park's many family activities. As well as fun activities such as speeding around a track on go-karts, playing crazy golf and travelling on Arbroath's famous Little Trainie, the family fun day will feature a visit by Animal Man's Mini Zoo and the chance to have a close encounter withlizards, snakes and spiders.
The start of this year's Tartan Day Scotland Festival also coincides with Easter Weekend. From April 3-6, Easter events with a tartan tinge will be held at Glamis Castle and Peel Farm, while on 4 April, Brechin will host a family celebration in the town centre, with a coffee morning, classic cars, vintage vehicles, storytelling and side shows.
Local country parks are holding a variety of events during the Tartan Day Scotland Festival. The Rangers at Forfar Loch will be Going The Whole Hog with their talk about hedgehogs, including how to attract these prickly creatures to your garden. Monikie Country Park is the venue for an Outdoor Activities Club every afternoon from 7-9 April and there will be activities for children at Crombie Country Park on the mornings of 8/9 April, as well as a meeting of Crombie Park Young Naturalists Club on 11 April, when members will plant and sow wildflowers for the park's bees.
"Children of all ages are very well catered for by this year's Tartan Day Scotland Festival," said the Provost of Angus, Cllr Helen Oswald. "This is good news for them and also good news for their parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles. I'm looking forward to taking my grandchildren to several of the Tartan Day Scotland Festival events."

NEAL CONAN, host:
This is TALK OF THE NATION. Im Neal Conan in Washington.
All of us learn the golden rule as kids: Treat others the way you'd like them to treat you. It's an ideal cited, though, much more often than practiced; and even then much more in private life than as a matter of public policy.
When religious historian Karen Armstrong received the Technology Entertainment Design or TED prize in 2008, she chose to apply the $100,000 award to try to unite religious leaders from all faiths beyond the common principle of compassion.
And now, in a new book, she describes how each of us, indeed all of us, can work to adopt the golden rule as a way of life, maybe eventually as a way of public policy.
And maybe two days after a mass murder is an appropriate day to discuss the point. If you've struggled to apply compassion, tell us your story, 800-989-8255. Email us, email@example.com. You can also join the conversation on our website. That's at npr.org. Click on TALK OF THE NATION.
Later in the program, President Obama and the terror suspects at Guantanamo Bay on The Opinion Page this week. But first, Karen Armstrong's new book is "Twelve Steps To A Compassionate Life," and she joins us here in Studio 3A. It's lovely to have you with us here on this side of the ocean for once.
Ms. KAREN ARMSTRONG (Author, "Twelve Steps To A Compassionate Life"): Thank you very much. It's lovely to be here.
CONAN: And in the wake of the shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and others in Tucson this past weekend, how do you show compassion to someone like the alleged gunman there?
Ms. ARMSTRONG: Well, I think the young man seems to have been badly mentally challenged, to have severe mental problems. One has to remember that. But it's also a sort of salutary moment, I think, that violence in public life, violent speech, violent emotions, the idea that one reaches for a gun and solves things in a violent way, it should bring us back from the abyss. Where are we going?
And, you know, we've had something similar in Pakistan, just in the previous week. I'm off to Pakistan, myself, next month to talk about the charter. And there's a mood of despair around - whether we're Easterners or Westerners - and despair is a dangerous thing because once people lose hope, they can resort to extreme measures.
CONAN: You exhort, as part of your 12 steps, love your enemies, as perhaps people might expect. It is, though, Step 12.
Ms. ARMSTRONG: It's Step 12. That's the pinnacle of it. And I have to say that this is not just - this 12-step program, it's not something that you're going to master in 12 weeks or even 12 years. This is a struggle for a lifetime and -because there are aspects in us that militate against compassion because compassion's not a very popular virtue. People often prefer to be right rather than compassionate.
CONAN: Have you ever struggled with compassion?
Ms. ARMSTRONG: All the time, every day. I have a very sharp tongue. I - like everybody, I feel I've suffered, I feel I've been damaged, I sort of meditate unpleasantly on my enemies and feel this corrosive sense of anger.
And yeah, I've - but I kept coming back, in my religious studies, to the theme of compassion. Whatever I was studying, whether it was a history of Jerusalem, a history of God, a history of fundamentalism, I kept being brought back to that, a central ethos.
And it was a matter of frustration to me that the religions, which should be making a major contribution to one of the chief tasks of our generation, which is to build a global community where people of all opinions and all ethnicities can live together in harmony, are seen as part of the problem, not as part of the solution. And you don't hear them talking about compassion.
And so that's why I devised this charter, to try to bring compassion back to the forefront and counter the kind of extremism we were talking about earlier.
CONAN: And you mentioned that these ideas originate in what you call the axial age, and that's the age when these great religions had their genesis, to coin a word. But these are ideas that have been around for thousands of years, yet we seem, well, if anything, further away from them than ever.
Ms. ARMSTRONG: Well, of course because it is so difficult to do. It is hard to love your enemies or to make room for the other in your mind. We are driven by brain - automatic brain drives we inherited from our reptilian ancestors, which make us put ourselves first, which become angry when we feel threatened in any way. We lash out violently...
CONAN: Or run away.
Ms. ARMSTRONG: Or run away and so that - and yet we are living in a profoundly connected world. We're more connected to one another than ever before, electronically, politically. What happens in Afghanistan or Iraq today is likely to have repercussions in Washington or London tomorrow.
Economically, when one market plummets, there's a sort of domino effect in the markets all around the world.
And so we are profoundly connected, and yet our perceptions haven't always caught up with that new technological reality.
CONAN: And here's an email from John(ph) in Mountain View, California: The golden rule assumes everyone is like everyone else. This contradicts our diverse society, where everyone is not like everyone else. Let me suggest we ask others what they want before using the golden rule. I believe that in the absence of other information, the golden rule is probably the best we can do.
Ms. ARMSTRONG: The golden rule asks you to look into your own heart, discover what gives you pain and then refuse, under any circumstance whatsoever, to inflict that pain on anybody else. It requires a constant effort of imagination.
There's no blanket way of doing this because each situation is different, each individual is different. And it's dangerous, of course, to project what we think we'd like or what we think a person ought to have onto another person, but really entering into the perception of the other, the position of the other.
CONAN: I can see this is getting a little harder than sharing your sandwich at lunch.
Ms. ARMSTRONG: It is a little bit harder than that. And it is encouraging us, really, to make place for the other in our minds, our hearts and our policies. Because unless we - we are always talking about the importance of democracy, but I think in our perilously divided world, we need global democracy where all people's voices are heard, not just those of the rich and the powerful.
CONAN: You, in your introduction, answer the charge, which you know you will face, of being ridiculously naive.
Ms. ARMSTRONG: Yes. But there have been people who have practiced compassion in our lifetimes. I'm thinking of Martin Luther King; I'm thinking of Gandhi; Nelson Mandela, who walked out of that prison - 27 years - and instead of inculcating a policy of revenge started one of reconciliation.
And one sees what one person can do, the effect of one person, and I think we all have to step up.
If you're given a chance, as I was, with the TED Prize, what would you like for a better world, then I think you have to be optimistic because when the optimism fails, despair takes over, as we said earlier, then you've got a problem because people can resort to desperate measures.
If all the people who tell me that they agree with the golden rule actually put it into practice, no point in just agreeing with it, it's a question of doing it, we could change the world. We could turn the world around and counter the voices of extremism, which drown out the more moderate voices in the media.
CONAN: We're going to take calls from those of you who have struggled with compassion in your lives, 800-989-8255. Email us, email@example.com. But before we do, if you could just describe the Charter for Compassion project for us just a little bit.
Ms. ARMSTRONG: Okay. Well, I asked TED to help me create, launch and propagate, a charter for compassion that would be written and was written by about 20 leading activists representing six major traditions.
It was a symbolic demonstration that, at a time when the religions are often seen to be at loggerheads, we could all work together for a better world and that this we all had in common.
But charter is a short document. It is a call for action. It is asking, for example, that children are given accurate information about other races and other cultures. It asks us to use what used to be called the principle of compassion in our interpretation of Scripture.
I think we need to look at some of those difficult texts, used and abused by extremists, and really make the study of seeing how they got into the tradition, what effect they've had through the ages and what on Earth we do with them today.
It's calling for education. And in Pakistan, for example, they're starting courses in compassion for high school, university and college students.
So, it is calling for action, and it's reminding us that to degrade or denigrate another person, even our enemies, is a denial of the common humanity that we share and that it is a duty for both a moral or a religious person to work energetically to, sort of, alleviate the suffering we see all around us.
CONAN: Karen Armstrong's new book, "Twelve Steps To A Compassionate Life." Let's get a caller in. This is Caroline(ph), Caroline with us from Akron, Ohio.
CAROLINE (Caller): Hi. I just wanted to make the comment - I'm a high school teacher, and I am often disappointed in the lack of compassion that I see in my students.
And I've tried to talk to them about this, and I dont know if it's a generational thing, but the huge amount of entertainment that's out there now that relies on making fun of someone or putting someone down or laughing at someone's misfortune bothers me as entertainment.
And I try to ask the kids, you know: Why is that entertaining to you? And they just say: Well, it's funny.
And the other thing that I don't understand is we had a volunteer program, as a requirement for quite a few years, of 12 hours a year, and it was taken away because parents complained because they didn't feel that it was the school's place to teach their child how to, you know, do unto others, so to speak.
And yes, I agree the schools shouldn't have to teach it, but it certainly doesn't appear to me that it's being taught at all in the home or in the church.
My parents never in so many words said be nice and be kind. They demonstrated it. And I was - that's what I do. I volunteer when I can. I try not to judge. I'm not perfect. I would like to think I always apply the golden rule. I'm sure I've missed steps.
But I don't know - have we raised a generation of kids that don't understand what compassion is?
CONAN: You've asked some interesting questions, Caroline, and we'll try to get you an answer after a short break. So if you just hang on there, we'll get back to you, okay?
CAROLINE: All right, thank you.
CONAN: All right. Karen Armstrong is our guest, 800-989-8255. When have you struggled with compassion? Email firstname.lastname@example.com. Stay with us. I'm Neal Conan. It's the TALK OF THE NATION from NPR News.
CONAN: This is TALK OF THE NATION from NPR News. Im Neal Conan in Washington.
Karen Armstrong is our guest. Her new book is titled "Twelve Steps To A Compassionate Life." You can read more about how and why she launched the Charter for Compassion. That story is in an excerpt at our website. Go to npr.org. Click on TALK OF THE NATION.
If you've struggled to apply compassion, tell us your story, 800-989-8255. Email us, firstname.lastname@example.com. And we - just at the break, we were talking with Caroline on the line with us from Akron, and, well, Karen, she was talking about, you know, the next generation, sometimes, well, those darn kids.
(Soundbite of laughter)
Ms. ARMSTRONG: Well, I have to say that some - one of the heartening things has been the response from young people, all around the world, for this. There are groups of young people, say, in the Middle East, whom I spoke to in the United Arab Emirates, at the American University of Sarjah, which really have responded hugely to the idea of compassion.
And just this morning, I had an email to say that the university is putting on a big exhibition titled "Peace Between Muslim and Non-Muslim from the Dawn of Islam." They're working for it.
Similarly in Holland, where there are amazing problems in society, with minorities. Young Muslim and Dutch people have come together, around, to work for a more compassionate world.
I think we need to make compassion a bit more dynamic and exciting. People just think of it as being nice sometimes, and - but to see it as a challenge, as something active and as something that our world urgently needs...
CONAN: Well, you talk a lot about mis-definitions of compassion and that we tend to see it as pity.
Ms. ARMSTRONG: Yes.
CONAN: And it's not that.
Ms. ARMSTRONG: Indeed. I mean, I think that's - it's fallen out. Caroline is right. It seems to have fallen out of our lexicon. When I was in Holland recently, I gave a talk on compassion. I specifically said: Compassion does not mean feeling sorry for people. And yet in the Dutch translation of my talk in the newspaper, every time I used the word compassion, it was translated pity. This is ingrained in us.
(Soundbite of laughter)
Ms. ARMSTRONG: The word compassion means compatine(ph). It means to undergo or experience something with somebody else. In the Hebrew and Arabic traditions, rhakmon(ph) or rhakmononute(ph) is related etymologically to the word for womb. So it's concerned with mother-love.
And, of course, the icon of mother and child is a sort of symbol of compassion, but that cute baby grows up, and mother-love can be heartbreaking and disappointing and disillusioning, but a mother never gives up on her child, however difficult that is. We've got to do that for all peoples.
In the Buddhist tradition, there's a very energetic notion, karuna, compassion, means taking responsibility for the pain of others and doing - working energetically to heal the suffering of the world. So it's a more positive thing.
I think if we can tell young people that this is something that they can do to make the world a more just place, young people are idealistic and will respond.
CONAN: Do you think that's going to fly in Akron, Caroline?
CAROLINE: I think - I mean, I don't want to say that I've never seen it, but yes, I would love to be able to work with kids more that way. It just seems that we don't seem to make it that important. And I agree with her: It's something - it should be more dynamic, and people should be made to understand exactly what it means.
And, I mean, I am very heartened by her passion for this because we do desperately need more compassion in the world. Thank you for your time.
CONAN: Caroline, thank you for the phone call, appreciate it.
Ms. ARMSTRONG: Thank you.
CONAN: You also spoke a moment ago about the role of religion and how these institutions, and they are institutions, after all, for the most part, are sometimes interested in, well, inter - you know, corporate jockeying and in being right rather than being compassionate. How do they get off the bean?
Ms. ARMSTRONG: Well, one of the first things that we - that was said - when we all met together to write the charter together - one of the first things was said by the Reverend Peter Storey, who had been Nelson Mandela's pastor and worked with Tutu during the Apartheid years, and he said: One thing we must say is that we, as a religious, have failed over the centuries to implement the compassionate ethos.
All this jockeying for whose religion is better, it's all about ego, and religion is about transcending the ego. And I think the best way of transcending ego is to dethrone yourself from the center of your world and put another there.
CONAN: If you truly believe that you know the way, the truth, the light and the way, then your religion is better than everybody else's.
Ms. ARMSTRONG: Well, I think if you think you know what we call God is - you're on the wrong track, because all the religions tell us that what we call God or Brahma, Nirvana or Tao, is inexpressible, that nobody has the last word, that we are all stumbling in our attempts to either experience or contain it.
Often when we talk about - people talk about God, and I certainly did this in my former days as a young nun, we often attribute to him, all the thoughts and feelings and opinions that we have ourselves.
I mean, it's often a preacher will say God forbids this or desires that or loves the other, and it's often noticeable that the opinions of the deity coincide with those of the speaker. This is a form of idolatry because what you're doing is worshipping a deity in your image and likeness.
And the golden rule, which all the religions say is the test of true spirituality, means that you have to say to yourself: Would I like someone to say to me that my religion is rubbish? Because if you wouldn't like that, then you mustn't do it to others.
CONAN: Here's an email that we have from Roger(ph): We often hear about the role of - the value of forgiveness, but we rarely hear about being assaulted, bullied, otherwise mistreated in ways that may interfere with our ability to live well, for example, depleting our physical or financial resources.
Doesn't continually turning the other cheek require a very different set of skills than forgiveness?
Ms. ARMSTRONG: Yes, I think it does. And I think turning the other cheek is really, it requires self-control, it requires your ability, I think, to put yourself in the position of the person that has struck you.
Now, people say that these, that Jesus' thoughts, when he says go the extra mile with somebody, or if someone takes your cloak, give him something else, as well, it was a way of - a nonviolent way of opposing Roman occupation.
A Roman soldier could say to a Palestinian Jew: You carry my bag for me a mile. And that was he was statutorily advised to do. And what you do is subvert the system and say: I'll take it two miles. And so, that you are actually subverting the system, but in a nonviolent way.
CONAN: How did that work for the Palestinian Jews?
Ms. ARMSTRONG: Well, I don't think anyone ever did it. But that may have been what was in Jesus' mind at the time, we - that that may have been more effective than what they actually did, which was rebel against Rome and resort to arms, which meant that led to the destruction of their temple and their city.
CONAN: Email from Sean(ph) in Wilmington, North Carolina: I have struggled feeling compassion for a close friend of mine named Joe(ph). He struggled with heroin addiction for several years.
I studied sociology and psychology, have an intellectual understanding that his struggles are a result of learning, social connections, physiological needs. Through the years, I have always tried to be there for him. I often find myself feeling frustrated and disappointed rather than compassionate.
Your guest sends a message that I will try to apply to my life and hope that my friends would be there for me in my times of need.
Ms. ARMSTRONG: Yes because we don't know what people have to put up with from us a lot of the time and what may occur to us later on, when we become old and infirm and difficult in our old age, that other people will have to bear with us.
And I think she's doing a wonderful job. There she is trying to hang out with him, but of course you're going to feel frustrated. And I think the point is that we often think that a compassionate person is going to be a complete paragon. But we all have flaws. Every single one of us is a flawed human being. Even Gandhi, even Martin Luther King had their flaws, had their personal behavioral problems, and yet look what an effect they had.
So okay, be gentle with yourself. That's the third step in my 12-step program is to have compassion with yourself. Yes, I feel frustrated. Yes, I'm an impatient woman, or I'm not as kind as I should be. But you're on the right track if you just keep trying and just keep hanging in with the person who needs your care.
CONAN: Let's go next to John(ph), John with us from Ypsilanti in Michigan.
JOHN (Caller): Hi, thanks for taking my call.
CONAN: Sure.
JOHN: A few years ago, about five years ago, I left my family's religion, it was a pretty far-right-leaning Christian faith, after they had prayed over a number of homosexuals who had come out during a service that we were having.
And it's not so much been - I struggled because I felt that their version of compassion was almost - it was bigoted. The - I felt like they were judging more than they were having compassion on those people. But then I found myself having just as much judgment against them in their strong beliefs. And I find that, you know, it's so easy to slip into this pattern of judgment no matter if you believe in something or if you don't believe in something, and that's where I've really struggled to understand and have compassion that that is what they believe and that's what their hearts believe.
Ms. ARMSTRONG: I think you're doing a great job because you're recognizing that. That is - that could be equally judgmental. And I think one of the steps in my program is to remember how little we know.
We're a society with great omniscience. We're always saying - making statements even on programs like this, dare I say, about other cultures...
CONAN: Never happens on this program.
Ms. ARMSTRONG: ...or what a certain politician thinks or, you know, gossip about friends. Oh, well, he always does this or his problem is - as though we know all about them. We don't. Every single person we meet is a mystery to us. I, myself, am a mystery to myself. I mean, I'm always behaving in ways that surprise me or shock me sometimes. And each person has a history of pain and insecurity, and hard-line philosophies often spring from a deep-set trouble with one's personal identity.
And I think just to try to maintain an awareness of this, you do what you do. You try to be compassionate, but realize that when people speak in this hard-line way, every single fundamentalist movement that I've studied in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam is rooted, I found, in a profound fear of annihilation, their fear that the world is against them. When people feel their backs are to the wall, they lash out violently. So the trick is to look behind the aggression to the pain that is causing it, I think.
CONAN: John, there's a similar email we have from Anne(ph) in Littleton, Colorado. I confess I've called a certain political party evil and that I hate them. Even as I said these things, I realized they were wrong. Today's program will help me in my struggle to be compassionate, to make room for the other in my mind. And she says thank you very much.
Ms. ARMSTRONG: Oh, thank you.
CONAN: We're talking with - and, John, thank you very much for the call.
Ms. ARMSTRONG: Yes, thank you, John.
JOHN: Thank you very much.
CONAN: Our guest is Karen Armstrong, author of "Twelve Steps to a Compassionate Life," winner of the 2008 TED Prize. And you're listening to TALK OF THE NATION, which is coming to you from NPR News.
And I wanted to read this email. This - well, from N8(ph), whoever that is, do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Actually, the opposite may be a purer form of compassionate. Do not do unto others as you would not have them do unto you. Otherwise, you risk projecting your solution onto someone else, which may not always fit.
Ms. ARMSTRONG: Yeah. I like that. I think we need both. Never do to others what you would not like them to do to you is the Confucian and Jewish form of the golden rule. And the Christian and the Muslim is...
CONAN: More active.
Ms. ARMSTRONG: But both of them come to the same - because if you - you can become officious and endlessly going around doing to others, unto others. But if - then you've got to ask yourself how you would like this kind of officious, interfering, impudent behavior directed at you.
And also there are people who do great good in the world, you know, rush around doing good. But they don't mind slagging off, for example, you know, an annoying colleague or another culture. And so do not do to others is a very important corrective to - I confess. I like that version myself.
CONAN: As you look at this project, this book, hopefully, you're, I expect trying to influence individuals' lives with this book and, perhaps, on a more structural basis with your project, what would you consider success?
Ms. ARMSTRONG: Oh, heavens. Are we going to turn around and become a compassionate world? No. But I would like to get compassion onto people's lips. I'd like to reform perhaps the way we speak about one another, and it can be done.
In the 1960s and '70s, civil right activists and feminists changed the way we speak about gender and race. When I was growing up in the postwar Britain, there was, believe it or not, a fashion shade called nigger brown. Now that would be inconceivable to us today. And I think if - I want to empower people when they hear uncompassionate speech about other peoples, other races or other sectors of your own society, to challenge it, to feel empowered to challenge their leaders and say, you know, we need a less aggressive and more empathetic understanding and response to our problems.
CONAN: Email, this from Anita(ph). I'm an atheist and raised my children without religion. I stressed the golden rule. If I may so myself, they turned out to be great people, honest, and well-adjusted. The golden rule just about covers everything.
And that is a point you stress in your book. You obviously talk a lot about religion and the great religions of the past and the religious traditions and Greek myths and other things. But nevertheless, you also point out - you also say, religion, in and of itself, not an issue.
Ms. ARMSTRONG: No, not at all. I mean, I write about religion because - the religious interpretation of the golden rule, because I am a religious historian and that's what I've learned about compassion.
But I think that the golden rule is essential to the structure of our humanity. If you want - it's not just a religious project. People have discovered that the only way in which human beings can actually satisfactorily and safely live together is by the golden rule. And that goes right across the religions and -or the lack - atheists or humanists or agnostics can certainly be living lives of selfless golden ruleness.
CONAN: I wanted to read this email we have from Edwin(ph). I come from Kenya, a country where ethnic divisions have led to violence. As a child, I was taught by my Kisii people to hate Kalenjins, then-President Daniel arap Moi's ethnic group.
My father and his fellow schoolteachers often went unpaid for months. And when that happened, they unleashed their anger on us, their children, while spitting every derogatory epithet about that Kalenjins who, they said, had taken all the money. I began to blame every blow on the alleged greed of the Kalenjins.
It wasn't until my father moved into the Kalenjin hinterland, in the Rift Valley in search of a better life that I learned we had more in Kisii than the Kalenjins that I'd come to hate. There was severe shortage of water. And when the rains came, floods washed away their homes. Not once did I see the president come to their aid. I began to have compassion for them. And I've since learned that when you begin to hang out with the kids your parents told you to stay away from, you find some freedom.
We'll also leave with one other email. This one is from Andrew(ph). Great show, great guest. Marry me, Karen.
(Soundbite of laughter)
CONAN: It's just not the present generation. My 75-year-old father lives for the put down. All the best.
Ms. ARMSTRONG: Wonderful emails. I love the one from Kenya, too, particularly that you think of your enemies may be suffering as much, if not more than you.
CONAN: Thank you so much. This is NPR News.

Slough, United Kingdom (PressExposure) February 11, 2013 -- Nuffield Health Cambridge Hospital has recently invested £300,000 in state-of-the-art equipment from PENTAX Medical to enhance its cancer detection and enable earlier treatment which can improve patient outcomes. The hospital, one of 31 Nuffield Health hospitals, the largest UK health charity, will re-equip its departments with 15 of the most advanced flexible endoscopes on the market: these are flexible cameras that are inserted into the stomach, digestive tract and bladder to help detect and diagnose cancer.
PENTAX Medical has been providing the hospital with its cutting-edge endoscopy equipment for over 15 years and is world-renowned for the quality, reliability, innovation and simplicity of its products. The continued investment in PENTAX's, high-definition HD+ endoscopes by the Nuffield Cambridge Hospital will ensure that its patients are provided with the best possible care.
PENTAX Medical has also designed a revolutionary 'i-scan' imaging technology that can also be used alongside the endoscopes to improve the images of the tissue lining the stomach, intestines and bladder. Getting a better image inside a patient means cancer can be detected earlier, before it reaches a serious stage, and treatment can begin early to improve a patient's chance of recovery.
Many leading doctors already trust PENTAX's endoscopes to improve the detection and diagnosis of tissue abnormalities1. According to David Moore, Managing Director, PENTAX UK Ltd. "By choosing the most technologically advanced endoscopy products on the market, the Nuffield Cambridge Hospital will be able to offer its patients much faster cancer detection rates and treatment turnaround times."
Maxine Estop, Hospital Director at Nuffield Health Cambridge Hospital said, "With our recent acquisition, I am delighted to say we are now able to diagnose our patients using the most advanced technology. We take pride in delivering an excellent service and being able to use the latest, cutting edge equipment means that we can deliver truly high class health care to our patients."

Child marriage as 'security'?Posted: 13 October, 2014 Filed under: Thato Motaung | Tags: ACRWC, Africa, African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACRWC), African traditions, arranged marriages, CEDAW, child marriage, conscription, Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, Eritrea, military service, national service, nternational Day of the Girl Child, Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa, sexual harassment, torture, traditional beliefs, UNICEF, Universal Declaration of Human Rights 1 Comment

International Day of the Girl Child: 11 October 2014
"The female soldiers did everything we did. In addition they were forced to cook for the commanders, wash their clothes, and some were forced to have sex with them." – Khalid al-Amin on life as a conscript, Aljazeera interview – Escaping Eritrea's 'open prison' (3 October 2014)
The legal age at which a girl can get married in Eritrea is 18 years, however many marry earlier as an act of great desperation.
Child marriage is prohibited in numerous international human rights instruments, namely; the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACRWC) and in the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and People's Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa. That said, child marriage is nevertheless rampant on the African continent. According to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) figures (2013), out of the 20 countries most affected by child marriage, Africa hosts 15. 'Typical' drivers of child marriage include customary/traditional beliefs, desire for economic gain or to provide security. I hesitated at the mention of 'security' because how does a minor gain security from being forced to engage in sexual reproduction, childbearing and birth within a completely unprepared body and mind?
Freedom of the press? Not for the Ugandan pressPosted: 20 June, 2013 Filed under: William Aseka | Tags: Africa, African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights, African Commission, constitution, Eritrea, freedom of expression, human rights, Human Rights Council, ICCPR, press freedom, right to privacy, Uganda, United Nations, Universal Declaration of Human Rights, World Press Freedom 2 Comments

The freedom to form opinions and express them without fear of repression is a fundamental tenet for the development of a pluralistic, tolerant, and democratic society. This right represents not only the right to privacy of individuals to hold opinions and formulate thoughts, but also to express them in a public forum, especially as part of exercising the right to political participation. In addition, the right to access information, that is the right to seek and receive information, which also forms an important component of this right and which has added significance in the current age of information technology, is intrinsic to the transparent functioning of a democratic government and the effective and well-informed participation of civil society. In this context, freedom of opinion, expression and information is one of the core civil and political rights as it is essential for the exercise of all other human rights.
The right to freedom of opinion, expression and information is well-established and protected at both international and regional levels both legally and institutionally. The right is enshrined in various international instruments, namely: the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Article 19), the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (Article 19), the International Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination (Article 5(d)(viii)), the Convention on the Rights of the Child (Article 13) and the Declaration on Human Rights Defenders (Article 6). The main international human rights body within the United Nations system, the Human Rights Council, also provides through its system of special procedures for a Special Rapporteur on freedom of opinion and expression, which was established in 1993.
Prisoners too have a right to determine the government of their choicePosted: 6 February, 2013 Filed under: William Aseka | Tags: constitution, disenfranchisement, elections, Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission, Kenya, prisoners, Universal Declaration of Human Rights, voting 10 Comments
Author: William Aseka

One of the most critical ways that individuals can influence governmental decision-making is through voting. Voting is a formal expression of preference for a candidate for office or for a proposed resolution of an issue. Voting generally takes place in the context of a large-scale national or regional election, however, local and small-scale community elections can be just as critical to individual participation in government.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted unanimously by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948, recognizes the integral role that transparent and open elections play in ensuring the fundamental right to participatory government. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights clearly stipulates under Article 21:
Everyone has the right to take part in the government of his/her country, directly or through freely chosen representatives. Everyone has the right of equal access to public service in his country. The will of the people shall be the basis of the authority of government; this will shall be expressed in periodic and genuine elections which shall be by universal and equal suffrage and shall be held by secret ballot or by equivalent free voting procedures. (Emphasis mine)
In fact just five years after the end of the reign of the apartheid government of South Africa, the country's constitutional court addressed one of the most profound issues facing the new democracy. The case involved a challenge to the denial of voting rights for citizens incarcerated in South African prisons and raised the fundamental issue of the meaning of democracy, one that was particularly poignant in a society in which such questions had been restricted from public debate. In his written decision for the Constitutional Court of South Africa, Justice Albie Sachs declared, "Rights may not be limited without justification and legislation dealing with the franchise must be interpreted in favor of enfranchisement rather than disenfranchisement."
