edited November -1 in Pregnancy and Babies
I'm just curious of the dynamics of other same-sex relationships once the baby arrived. Was there a clear division of caring for the baby vs. housework? Was the work equally shared or one partner did most of the caring for baby and the other the housework, or most of it fell on one partner?
I know and/or have several acquaintances with heterosexual couples where it appears the mom cares for the baby most of the time and does most of the housework, while the dad works and occasionally helps out with baby and/or housework. In my relationship we are not like this and I am curious how other lesbian couples do it. More specifically, I'm interested to know if its different because there are two women or it just depends on the couple.

Our plan was for DW to have the baby and while she was on maternity leave she would do most of the caring for the baby and I would do the housework and such. I am on permanent disability so I would not have to worry about going to work or anything. We talked about taking turns during night feedings but she planned to BF so not sure if we would actually take turns or not. Once she went back to work I would take care of baby and housework while she was at work and when she came home she would take over caring for the baby. Now I know babies take up alot of your time and attention so the housework may have had to take a back seat and we are fine with that. But like I said that was the plan. We tested it out a little bit when our now 2 year old grandson was born. Our daughter ended up in the hospital with a severe kidney infection when he was about 3 weeks old so we had him here with us until she got out of the hospital and was feeling better. While DW was at work I took care of our grandson and when she got home she would take over. I would do housework as I could during the day and whatever I didn't get done I did in the evening after DW got home and took over. I have been in a hetero relationship before when my girls were babies. I took care of the babies and the house all the time and their dad worked during the day and did whatever the heck he wanted to at night. So in my little bit of experience it does seem like it is different with 2 mom (or should I say 2 grandma lol) households.

scorpiogrl7 Posts: 1,386We don't have a baby (yet), so this may change, but this is our plan:
DP works 3rd shift. I work during the day, varying hours (I do massage so whenever a client wants an appointment I schedule it).
I will carry the baby, for various reasons, unless we completely run out of options (including using her eggs and my uterus). When the baby is born, I will quit my semi-full time job and just work my self-employed side job so that I can schedule around the baby's needs. DP will come home and sleep in the morning and I will try to schedule work from 2-6 or 7, during which time she will take care of baby. Then I will come home and take back over and she will sleep from 7-9 then get up and go to work.
As for housework, I do all of that anyway. Her responsibilities are : make money, fix things that are broken, mow the lawn, change lightbulbs, kill spiders, take out trash/recycling. Everything else I do. I cook, take care of the dogs/cats, dehair the floors and furniture, wash dishes, clean bathroom, change sheets, etc. She does do her own laundry.
So I guess we have that whole heterosexual stereotype going on. When she lived alone, she lived on frozen meals and takeout, her house was dusty as heck, and she always had dirty dishes in her sink. She just doesn't have the cleaning gene. (Neither do I, but I suck it up and do a good enough job to get by). So it's not as if she expects me to do all the housework; if I didn't do it either, she wouldn't say anything, we'd just lice in squalor.
I am okay with this arrangement because she works 50-60 hours a week, makes twice what I do, and carries my health insurance (and will carry that of the baby).
Now that I've typed this out, it looks basically like I'm going to be a single parent that has an extra income....but it doesn't feel that way.0
em'smoms Posts: 1,439I really think it depends on the couple and each of the women in the couple. I carried both our children which made me the primary baby caretaker- especially since I breast fed exclusively. With #1, DP was probably more involved in the non feeding baby care and definetly picked up the slack around the house. With #2, DP picked up the slack with #1 (which was very helpful) while I cared for the baby. We have had someone come in 2x a month to clean the house for years and pretty much share the day to day house keeping stuff. I tend to be more the inside of the house and kid taker carer of and DP is more the outside of the house, fixer of things, etc person. We both work but I work in the schools so have shorter hours, breaks and summers off so tend to spend much more time 1:1 with the kids. We joke that DP is for sure more the "daddy, husband" and I am the "mommy, wife". Having a baby does change MOST everything in your life, be prepared to be flexible and communicate!!-Rebecca (Blessed mom of two beautiful, healthy girls)
anna77 Posts: 283This wasn't directed at me, but in my house my husband already does most of the cooking and cleaning. I do more of the stuff for the kids (driving them to lessons, games, homework, etc), but honestly he does almost as much. And they are his stepkids. I would say he definitely overall does more than me in terms of typical "mom" duties, especially during the week when he is home earlier. I have friends (hetero couples) who are in relationships like you described, and it drives me bananas that most of the women also work full time, yet still have to come home and do all of the stereotypically "female chores". In my house, our chores are divided really by who has the time to take care of business because we both work.
I have one lesbian couple as friends, and there is definitely a divide more like the hetero relationships that you describe than what you are describing in your relationship. BUT, one of them stays at home and I personally think that is different. If I stayed at home I would probably take on more of the "domestic chores" type stuff because I would be home more often. Not necessarily in the newborn phase, because that's a full time job, but if the kids were in school and I stayed home, I would consider household stuff kind of my job.
I hope it was OK that I posted. I just wanted to point out two cases where I think the opposite of what you have experienced is happeningAnna 38 (mommy to 3 boys...11, 9 & 2)
#3 was conceived with DS via our 6th IUI (2 natural, 2 clomid, 2 follistim+trigger)
Trying for one more blessing to add to our family:
IUI #1 9/25 (follistim+trigger) BFN IUI#2 (follistim+trigger) 10/23 BFP!...mc 6w3d
IUI#3 2/5 (follistim+trigger)...Test Date 2/190
ncmomstobe Posts: 549Our family looks a lot like what Em's Moms described. With DS, I nursed of course, and then we split non-feeding baby care and chores, although my partner does do more outside and I tend to cook. When DD arrived, DP naturally did more with DS so that I could take care of the baby. Now that she is 1, I think this summer we will get back to a more normal arrangement. I say that because I do feel bad that I spend more time with DD and not as much with DS. We are both teachers, so in a few more weeks time won't be an issue.
Sorry for the ramble!0
m&smom Posts: 122It depends on the couple. I was in a same sex relationship, married to her when we had twins. We used another bank and finally got pregnant after 2 years of trying. I have always been the one to do the majority of the housework and makes a lot more money. My dw started having issues about us raising twins where we live. She did go on night shift after they came which helped. We do have a nanny that came when I went back to work after 6 weeks. We are not together anymore and it is horrible since we have kids. I feel like I can't relocate to another state because she will not see them all the time and I do not want her to miss anything. I think communication is key.0
scorpio - lol @ the single parent comment!
anna - you are more than welcome to respond. I'm glad you did -- added a different perspective.
Thanks for the responses so far. I am very intrigued by this topic and wondered if it was just because I was a woman that I was so involved in caring for our newborn. I guess I had some preconceived notions in place that the partner who births the baby would just be the primary caregiver. Sometimes I forget that I did not carry her and to me, that is a great feeling. I sometimes feel a bit left out when everyone is doting on how much the baby looks like DP or DP's relatives (Ok, I know this is a bit OT). My intellectual brain knows that with time she will pick up on some of my mannerisms, etc. and people will think she looks like me. In the meantime, I just need to find a way not to feel left out!0
TxMoms2B Posts: 532When C arrived I was trying to bf and I was the only one who received maternity leave. It seemed, during that time, that I was doing the majority of everything for baby and she worked all day/slept all night. Once we started formula feeding (out of necessity) she helped with that during the days...but the nights were another story. Our son is 28 months, and I can probably count on my hands how many times she's been up with him. I've let that go and made peace with it. We hope to try for a sibling this summer/fall, and I am prepared to take nights again.
As far as house work/cooking goes...it's fairly even. Cooking is probably a 60/40 split between myself and her. She insists on a presentable house, so she stays on top of that. We pretty much do the same amount of laundry. We alternate who cleans up the kitchen/does dishes. I handle outside stuff and sanitizing/deep cleaning.
As far as our son, we trade off diaper changes and who bathes him. We've decided (since our move to our new home) that we needed a more regimented schedule in order to get everything done and not neglect the kid/pets/house. It seems to work really well with us, and it allows our son to have a lot more one on one time with his moms. The only thing that sucks is that we miss out on couple time during the week. Pros and cons.http://txmoms2b.blogspot.com

irisgrace61 Posts: 203another vote for ... it depends on the couple ....
I work part time & my partner works full time - I have adopted, bio and step kids (one of each) - but I am in the more - traditional wife/mom roles - I am in charge of all things domestic - she works outside of the home to support our family & keep things running - I am the PTA mom and so on - I am the only one that cooks etc (funny truth, yesterday she posted on FB how much she enjoyed her lunch - her friend responded & asked "Well, what did she pack you - b/c we know you didn't make it" - She is the one who teaches the boys sports & gets all the fun stuff - It works for us - I am thankful that it meets both of our needs - I don't want to have to work full time - i want to be class mom & be there when you get home etc ...0
MNmommas Posts: 1,081 ✭Depends on the couple.
We share it all, from carrying the pregnancies to cleaning. Although I've done the bulk of the breastfeeding so far. I do also take care of all the bills/taxes, DW doesn't care to get involved with the financial aspects of the household and I'm fine with that. But I've got a "cheat sheet" so she can figure it all out should something terrible ever happen to me. And DW always does the lawn mowing, which probably means that this summer (she's 6 months pregnant) it won't get mowed at all unless we get a notice from the city.Donor 7070, births 2012 & 20130
cocobay Posts: 1,318I feel like I am SUPER lucky when it comes to this!
DP is the bread winner. I am the SAHM. She leaves the house for work (weekdays only) at 6:30am, returning at 5pm. During that time I care for our son and take car of most of the household duties, errands, appts, and cooking. I enjoy cooking and she doesn't so that is why I do the cooking too. I'm pretty OCD about most of the cleaning too so that is why I do the majority. When she gets home from work, I usually have dinner almost ready. She takes over caring for Bronx and helps set the table, or whatever needs to be done. For example, tonight as soon as she got home she took Bronx outside and they checked the mail and then they came inside and put up the laundry I had folded today. She does all the bill paying and financial stuff. I kind of suck in that department and she is phenomenal at budgeting. We just recently started grocery shopping together on Friday nights when Bronx is with Ali's parents for the night because it has become almost impossible to get in and out of the store with out a meltdown and everything I went in for. When it comes to the major decisions (buying cars, spending a lot of money on vacations, etc) we make those together, but she usually has final say so. I'm okay with that because she always takes my feelings and advice into consideration. On the weekends the work is 50/50. She does things before I even have to ask her. She is truly an amazing Mama.
It hasn't always been this easy for us. When B was first born we had a bit of struggle trying to figure out our roles and BOTH being his Mom. Not to mention all of the by standers (straight friends and family) who were watching with popcorn to see how the hell this was going to work. We eventually fell into an amazing groove and it has been smooth sailing ever since. She is so appreciative of the work I do around the house and wants me to stay home with our kids forever, which will likely not happen, lol.0
kimberleyap Posts: 26Not only does it depend on the couple, but whatever you THINK it's going to be, you'll likely have to let go of. Like birth plans, parenting plans rarely work out as neatly as we see them in our heads.
I carried our twins and will carry the next if we are lucky enough to get pg. My wife never wanted to carry. I wanted to be a SAHM. Never happened, because we couldn't survive in CA on less than one income. But, she's the cook and generally cleans, while I do laundry and a lot of the "kid" stuff. When they were infants, we pretty much split things down the middle. Then she got laid off and spent 18 months being the primary caretaker while I was the breadwinner.
Now, we work completely opposite shifts. She's a 911 dispatcher and works graves and I work 8-5. We solo parent constantly. She makes dinner and picks the kids up from school while I handle school drop off, lunch preparation, and bedtime routines after she leaves for work.
My best advice? Let go of any preconceived ideas about how it's supposed to be and let things fall where they naturally will and address inequities as they come up, if they come up.0
Goobie Posts: 3,515I'm married to a man, can I answer too?
Tim works long hours, so that I can work from home, being here for the kids. We breastfeed exclusively, so I do most of the "baby" stuff, but when we are both home together we share everything. He'll take care of the kids so I can mow the lawn or clean the van. He does all the driving to and from events, since I don't drive. Apparently I am anal about laundry, so I do it all (except Tims, he does his own, In fairness the biggies do their own too... I do sheets, my laundry, baby laundry and towels). Whoever sees dishes need to be done does them. He does most of the cooking when he is home, because I hate cooking. He does all the grocery shopping AND takes the kids with him when he does so I can nap or shower alone! General household clenup and maintenance is split pretty evenly. I feel I do a bit more then he does, but I am home all day, and I CAN wash up a sink of dishes or toss in a load of laundry while the kids are happy doing something else.
I had the urge to answer because I agree with whomever said "it depends on the couple". Tim is the un-handiest man I know, but was a single dad for 10 years, so the domestic stuff falls on him a lot!0
A&J Posts: 1,825Our dynamics have shifted since having our first child and I became the stay at home parent. This was nearly two years ago. Our set up has somewhat changed again upon having our second child. Prior to having children we both worked full-time and pretty evenly divided up and shared in the tasks involved in running and maintaining our home. Many things we worked on at the same time together-- grocery shopping, setting aside a day once per week to do a big cleaning and both would just pick up after ourselves daily, cooking meals as a couple, working in the yard, etc. Geez, just typing this makes me kind of miss these times we had together, looking back I can definitely see that a lot of times it really is the small things that mean and matter the most Ok, back to your question. So, even then there were things that we each preferred or are better at. My wife likes putting things together, yard stuff, and making certain meals. I am better at organizing, laundry stuff, shopping for the household. So we do divide things up based on interest and ability as well
Now that I am a SAHM I definitely do most of the housework. I also spend a lot more time with the kids-- naturally because my wife is at work. My wife does help with projects around the house, but honestly I mostly prefer that she just let me do it. I kind of have a system and order to things and don't want it messed up ;-). My only thing is that while I am happy to take care of our home and pick up after the kids, I WILL NOT pick up after my wife. She needs to keep her things in order, put her dirty dishes away, put her dirty laundry in the basket, etc, This may seem like an obvious thing for another adult to do, or maybe not, but I do have friends that are always complaining about picking up after their husbands. I wouldn't like this and see it as disrespectful, but this may just be me. Anyway, when it comes to the kids I am the mom who carried both and have breastfed both. This also plays into who does what and when. In the beginning the kids were/are literally attached to me non stop day and night! When we just had one child this put my wife into the position of taking care of whatever needed to be done while I was nursing. It also meant for us that I was up a lot more at night. In the very beginning my wife was was up helping with nighttime diaper changes and trying to help with the feedings ( our daughter refused bottles for a very long time then was very stubborn about taking them) In time I just took over and let her sleep. It was hard to be up with the baby so much, but even more difficult when neither of us were getting any rest. So for the good of the whole I took over nighttime feedings. Now that we have a second child our situation has changed once again. Our daughter is now two and is very much into her momma, which is great because this gives me one on one time with our newborn, allows for those long nursing sessions or even just an opportunity to get a few tasks completed around the house.
My wife and I are both involved in making the big parenting decisions such as education, behavior management, health, etc. I typically make the smaller choices and my wife goes with it, such as scheduling our day to day, which activities we are involved in, stuff along these lines.
Oh, and another big one, money. This has been easy and difficult at the same time. The easy part is that we both agree that it is OUR money and we are really open with each other about our budget and how to handle our expenses, savings, and extras. The hard part for us was the shift from two incomes to one. As others will recommend we did live on just my wife's income for a fairly long time before we even decided that I would be a SAHM. For about two years prior to getting pregnant my income mostly supplemented our lifestyle and was our " fun" money. So, I guess for me the really difficult part of staying at home was giving up my guaranteed paycheck and the ability to splurge on things for myself, my wife, us, and now the kids. Instead of just doing what I want it has to be more of a couple decision. I'm not talking about the smaller things, but for us if I'm going to spend more than a hundred bucks then I bring it up with my wife. Every now and then I get vetoed as does she :-). I have always been a really independent person and kind of liked to do my own thing, so for me this was a HUGE change initially. Now a couple of years into it we are pretty set. Im just commenting on some initial issues that we had starting out.
Overall I think my wife is super involved when it comes to parenting our children and taking care of our home. Admittedly I feel kind of like the boss and kind of take over in a lot of areas and not so much because I carried the children or stay at home, but mostly because it's my personality I suppose:-)
Wow, I really got to rambling with this. Anyway, I hope this somewhat answers your question and you can forgive my typos, etc as I'm nursing, typing with one hand and operating on very little sleep today.0
RW17 Posts: 197For us it's fairly equal. We both work full time, we take turns with things like diaper changes and putting the child to bed. We also take turns doing chores while the other plays with our son. My partner does a bit more parenting since she works fewer hours/days, but when we're both home it's pretty 50-50.0

Podcast Ads Don't Just Alert Listeners to Brands and Products, They Educate Them
Have a product that consumers already know about? Then you're in the perfect position to educate listeners—and a host makes for the best teacher. By giving listeners new reasons to buy your product, hosts can help motivate them to make new and additional purchases. In our ad effectiveness study with a well-known national CPG brand, we found that storytelling paid off (as in, a 9% lift in purchase intent), especially for those who heard a longer custom integration ad format.

Which city is cheaper, El Paso or Baltimore?
These are the overall average travel costs for the two destinations.
Which city is more affordable and which is best for your travel style? If you're trying to figure out where to go next, comparing the travel costs between Baltimore and El Paso can help you decide which place is right for you.
Baltimore is a large, industrial city and popular tourist destination in the state of Maryland. It is about an hour outside of Washington, D.C. and is a hub of tourism and entertainment for the area. It has a vibrant nightlife, comfortable climate, and is a great place to visit when you're in the area. The city proper has a population of about 600,000 and the metropolitan area has 2.7 million. Its economy is centered around science, technology, engineering and math and it has many undergraduate and graduate schools including the world renowned Johns Hopkins University.
El Paso is a city in west Texas, along the waters of the Rio Grande. Outside the city, Franklin Mountains State Park is home to cacti and desert wildlife like coyotes and golden eagles. The park's Wyler Aerial Tramway ascends to Ranger Peak for views of the city and over to Mexico. El Paso is coming up in the world and starting to make a name for itself. A sleek new hotel has opened downtown, luring locals back to the city's core for socializing and dining. The new Montecillo entertainment and residential district to the west is booming. The city even has a new baseball team, the El Paso Chihuahuas. And the city's first microbrewery opened in 2015. Outdoorsy types also have it made here: there's cycling and hiking in the largest urban park in the US, and the nearby Hueco Tanks State Park is ideal for wintertime rock climbing. Best of all is the hospitality of the locals, which makes this city of nearly 700,000 feel a whole lot smaller.
These are the overall average travel costs for the two destinations.
The average daily cost (per person) in Baltimore is $145, while the average daily cost in El Paso is $129. These costs include accommodation (assuming double occupancy, so the traveler is sharing the room), food, transportation, and entertainment. While every person is different, these costs are an average of past travelers in each city. What follows is a categorical breakdown of travel costs for Baltimore and El Paso in more detail.

Bulking calories
When bulking your aim is to gain muscle mass , which means that you will need to try and increase the amount of calories and protein you consume, it is likely that the higher the amount of calories you eat, the greater the percentage of muscle that you will gain. Therefore, you should attempt to restrict your eating to less than 50% of your total body weight with every diet you attempt, whether it be for a competitive bodybuilding or bodybuilding inspired diet or even a healthy and balanced diet like this. However, to truly be confident, you should look into nutrition studies that have been conducted and found that, for all bodybuilding competitors, there is no significant difference if you eat 30% less than most people on the planet, bulking calories. To give you an idea on how much less, I suggest that, if you were to limit your total amount of calories in your diet to 150g per day, then you should increase your intake of carbohydrates from 20g to 60g per day to compensate. The point on being able to gain a bodyfat percentage that will be at least 80% is to allow you to have some sort of competition fuel for any kind of event that you desire, bulking calories woman. Also, to keep that bodyfat percentage elevated you should do some sort of exercise such as squats, deadlifts, etc, bulking calories bodybuilding., to increase your metabolic rate which increases your blood sugar levels to allow you to burn off more fat, bulking calories bodybuilding. If you believe with all these things that all you are doing is gaining muscle mass and having an insane body, but without even gaining any muscle mass, then you can't really compete with other bodybuilders! Why Should You Eat More, bulking calories on steroids? One of the biggest concerns that I have with all the research that has been done and discussed by competitive bodybuilders and bodybuilding inspired dieters concerning the best way to gain muscle is that they were not given a proper methodology, such as calorie counting, to provide them a proper nutrition program to achieve those goals. In an attempt to provide accurate nutrition advice, I feel that most competitors and other body builders should be given at least a portion of their overall diet to include the right sources of protein, fat, vitamins, etc, bulking calories. The primary thing that we need in a competitive bodybuilder is to get lean, and we need these nutrients, along with exercise, energy, energy supplements, and proper nutrition in order to gain muscle.

Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare lung disorder of unknown etiology characterized by disorders of surfactant homeostasis (clearance and production), which are caused in part by mutations in genes necessary for normal surfactant production.[1, 2, 3] The alveoli and terminal airways[1] fill with floccular material that stains positive using the periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) method and is derived from surfactant phospholipids and protein components (see the images below). This process results in impaired gas exchange and may lead to respiratory failure.[1, 2, 3, 4] PAP was first described in 1958.[5]
Two forms of PAP are recognized: hereditary and acquired. The hereditary form is autosomal-recessive and usually is diagnosed in infancy or early childhood, although adult onset has been reported.[6, 7] The acquired form is subdivided into autoimmune and secondary forms. Approximately 90% of PAP cases comprise the autoimmune form, which is related to granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) deficiency, GM-CSF-receptor defects, abnormal macrophage function from endogenous or exogenous triggers, and genetic anomalies of surfactant production.[3] Secondary forms include those associated with malignancies, immunodeficiency disorders, infectious diseases, drug reactions, and occupational exposure to silica, indium, and various toxic inhalation injuries.[8] Associations with Niemann-Pick disease,[9] myelodysplastic syndrome,[10, 11] and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis[12] have been reported.
A similar disorder affects neonates deficient in surfactant-associated protein B (SP-B).
The clinic course of PAP is variable, ranging from spontaneous resolution (< 10%) to respiratory failure and death. As many as 30% of patients are asymptomatic, even with diffuse chest radiograph (CXR) abnormalities. The most common clinical symptoms are gradual onset with progressive dyspnea, cough, fever, and chest pain. Physical examination findings may include inspiratory crackles, digital clubbing, and cyanosis. The diagnosis is reached on the basis of clinical history, radiologic, and bronchoalveolar lavage and/or histopathologic findings.[1]
Management of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) depends on the progression of the illness, coexisting infections, and degree of physiologic impairment. The standard of care for PAP is mechanical removal of the lipoproteinaceous material by whole-lung lavage (WLL). Inhaled GM-CSF was initially shown to be safe and effective in providing a sustained therapeutic effect in autoimmune PAP[13] ; more recently, it appears to have only a modest salutary laboratory effects on arterial oxygen tension without clinical benefits in mild-to-moderate autoimmune PAP.[14] For refractory PAP, rituximab, plasmapheresis, and lung transplantation may be therapeutic considerations.[3] In secondary PAP, appropriate treatment of the underlying cause is warranted. Lung transplantation is the treatment of choice in patients with congenital PAP and in adult patients with end-stage interstitial fibrosis and cor pulmonale.
The alveoli in pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) are filled with proteinaceous material, which has been analyzed extensively and determined to be normal surfactant composed of lipids and surfactant-associated proteins A, B, C, and D (SP-A, SP-B, SP-C, SP-D). Evidence exists of a defect in the homeostatic mechanism of either the production of surfactant or the clearance by alveolar macrophages and the mucociliary escalator.[1, 2, 3] A relationship has been demonstrated between PAP and impaired macrophage maturation or function, which accounts for the association with malignancies and unusual infections (eg, infection with Nocardia asteroides).
Studies of genetically altered mice ("knock-out mice") with targeted gene deletions for GM-CSF have yielded animals with PAP-like disease. Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) increases the effectiveness of alveolar macrophages in the catabolism of surfactant. Other studies have demonstrated the presence of neutralizing autoantibodies against GM-CSF in patients with PAP. In addition, alveolar macrophages from some PAP patients have decreased levels of the transcription factor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor–gamma (PPAR-gamma), which normalize after treatment with GM-CSF.[15]
The etiology of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is unknown, but it has been associated with a number of other processes, implying a causal relationship. Causes may include the following:
Inhalation of silica dust (acute silicoproteinosis)[8]
Exposure to insecticides, aluminum dust, titanium dioxide, indium-tin oxide and other inorganic dusts[16, 17, 18]
Hematologic malignancies, mostly myeloid disorders
Lysinuric protein intolerance (rare)
Infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome [AIDS])
Leflunomide: Case report (disease-modifying antirheumatic arthritis therapy)[19]
Recessive CSF2RA mutations have been implicated in the hereditary form of PAP. Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) signaling may be absent or severely reduced, and the GM-CSF-receptor alpha chain may be absent or abnormal, paralleling the GM-CSF signaling defects. This is unlike secondary PAP, in which a deficiency of GM-CSF and increased autoantibodies are noted. Genetic analysis may reveal multiple distinct CSF2RA abnormalities, including missense, duplication, frameshift, and nonsense mutations; exon and gene deletion; and cryptic alternative splicing.[20, 21] In 2011, a homozygous missense mutation in CSF2RB was reported to cause PAP in a 9-year-old girl.[22] Onset of the hereditary form of PAP is generally in infancy or early childhood, but adult onset has been reported.[6, 7]
Biallelic missense mutations in MARS were identified in a specific severe form of pediatric PAP, prevalent on the island of Réunion in the Indian Ocean.[23]
Autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) acounts for 90% of cases, with an estimated prevalence of 1 case per 100,000 population. A specific, severe hereditary form of PAP is prevalent on Réunion Island, in the Indian Ocean, where the incidence is at least 1 in 10,000 newborns.[24, 23] The male incidence four times higher than for females, and the presentation is typically in adults aged 20-50 years.
The overall prognosis for primary pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is very good, with complete remission achieved in many patients. Whole-lung lavage most often results in a dramatic response. Some patients require repeated lavages; these patients usually progress to pulmonary fibrosis and have a poor outcome. Congenital PAP responds favorably to lung transplantation.
The major complications are lung infections with Nocardia asteroides, Pneumocystis carinii, and/or Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare.[25] Pulmonary fibrosis and/or cor pulmonale also can complicate PAP.
There has been some association between anti-granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (anti-GM-CSF) autoantibodies and some cases of cryptococcal meningitis in otherwise immunocompetent patients.[26]
Mortality as high as 30% within several years of disease onset has been reported, but the actual mortality rate may be less than 10%. A severe form of congenital PAP in children from la Réunion Island has an overall mortality rate of 59% and is characterized by an early onset, associated liver involvement, and frequent progression to lung fibrosis, despite treatment with whole-lung lavage treatment.[24]
The natural history of secondary PAP depends on the underlying etiologic entity.
Patients with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) typically present with a gradual onset of symptoms. As many as 30% of patients are asymptomatic, even with diffuse chest radiograph abnormalities. Symptoms include the following:
Persistent dry cough (or scant sputum production)
Progressive dyspnea
Fatigue and malaise
Weight loss
Intermittent low-grade fever and/or night sweats
Pleuritic chest pain
Cyanosis (rare)
Hemoptysis (rare)
Physical findings are usually nonspecific. Symptoms include the following:
Fine end-inspiratory crackles
Clubbing (25%)
Cyanosis (20%)
Pulmonary hypertension and cor pulmonale (rare)
The patient's age at the manifestation of signs/symptoms of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis is crucial in the establishing differential diagnosis and determining the correct diagnosis.[2] Essential to the diagnostic approach is identifying potential genetic or autoimmune etiologies, exposure to environmental agents, and associations to other diseases.[2]
Thus, the differential diagnosis includes other diseases associated with intra-alveolar exdudates, such as pulmonary edema, pneumocystis pneumonia, and alveolar mucinosis. Pulmonary edema has a homogenous appearance and lacks the granularity typical of PAP (see the images below). The exudate of pneumocystis pneumonia has a frothy or foamy appearance due to the negative image of the cyst form of Pneumocystis jiroveci (formerly known as carinii).
Serologic studies are generally not useful for pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP). Flexible bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) remains the criterion standard. Elevated levels of the proteins SP-A and SP-D in serum and BAL fluid may be useful. Elevated titers of neutralizing autoantibody against granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) (immunoglobulin G [IgG] isotype) in serum and BAL fluid may be useful.
It has been proposed that deficiency of GM-CSF causes PAP; all patients studied had the antibody to GM-CSF.[27, 28] Serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is usually elevated, but this finding is nonspecific.
There appears to be a correlation between the levels of some tumor markers (eg, carcinoembryonic antigen [CEA], neuron-specific enolase [NSE], and squamous cell carcinoma [SCC]) and the severity of PAP.[29]
The diagnosis can be made by BAL only if periodic acid-Shiff PAS staining is requested. Therefore, PAP is probably underdiagnosed.
Lung biopsy findings are classic for PAP. Alveoli are filled with nonfoamy material. Transbronchial biopsies are adequate, and open lung biopsy is not required.
Chest radiography in pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) shows bilateral perihilar infiltrates[3, 4] with consolidation in a "bat-wing" configuration, which may mimic pulmonary edema, although with a typical absence of cardiomegaly or pleural effusion. Unilateral involvement occurs occasionally, and lymphadenopathy is rarely present. Typically, changes progress over weeks to months into a diffuse reticulogranular pattern.
High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scanning of the chest demonstrates areas of patchy ground-glass opacification (GGO) with smooth interlobular septal thickening and intralobular interstitial thickening, which produces a polygonal pattern referred to as "crazy paving." The crazy-paving pattern also can be observed in exogenous lipoid pneumonia, sarcoidosis, mucinous bronchoalveolar cell carcinoma, and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).[30, 31] PAP presenting as ground-glass opacity (GGO) mimics carcinoma.[32] HRCT findings have been able to show several distinctive differences between exogenous lipoid pneumonia and PAP, which had previously only been distinguished pathologically.[33]
Bronchoscopy with transbronchial biopsy and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) may be helpful. Transbronchial biopsies of affected lung segments, coupled with findings on BAL, are sufficient to make the diagnosis. Use periodic acid-Shiff (PAS) reagent for BAL. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid appears "milky." Papanicolaou staining may reveal green and orange globules that are diagnostic for PAP. Electron microscopy of BAL may reveal characteristic multilamellar structures.
Transbronchial biopsy may increase the yield. Surgical lung biopsy rarely is necessary for definitive diagnosis.
Light microscopy of the lung parenchymal tissue shows alveoli filled with a granular periodic acid-Shiff (PAS) base-reactive and diastase-resistant eosinophilic material.
Electron microscopy of the material in the alveoli shows multilamellated structures and membranous vesicles. Eosinophilic granular material is present within the alveolar spaces (see the following images).
Management of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) depends on the progression of the illness, the presence of coexisting infections, and the degree of physiologic impairment. The standard of care for PAP is mechanical removal of the lipoproteinaceous material by whole-lung lavage (WLL), as well as management of the underlying cause.[1, 2, 3]
Supplemental granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is useful; however, there is continued debated regarding its indications, agent selection, and dosing.[3] Inhaled GM-CSF was initially shown to be safe and effective in providing a sustained therapeutic effect in autoimmune PAP[13] ; more recently, it appears to have only modest salutary laboratory effects on arterial oxygen tension without clinical benefits in mild-to-moderate autoimmune PAP.[14] For refractory PAP, rituximab, plasmapheresis, and lung transplantation may be therapeutic considerations.[3]
Historically, patients have been treated with systemic steroids, mucolytics (aerosol), and proteinase (aerosol) without much success. In secondary PAP, appropriate treatment of the underlying cause is warranted.
Inpatient care is uncommon in primary PAP, except for concomitant superinfection or severe hypoxemia. Treatment of secondary PAP might require inpatient care and outpatient follow-up.
Whole-lung lavage (WLL) remains the gold standard of therapy for PAP.[1, 2, 3] Current indications for WLL vary from center to center, but the most common indications appear to be declining lung function, declining oxygenation, and radiographic worsening.[34, 35] The main indication is limitation in daily activities due to dyspnea.[35] An alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient of at least 40 mmHg and a PaO2 below 70 mmHg on room air are additional indications, as these patients are more likely to have disease progression.[35]
WLL is performed with a double-lumen endotracheal tube designed to allow simultaneous ventilation and lavage. Lung lavage is performed under general anesthesia, and the lung is ventilated briefly with 100% oxygen before lavage with isotonic sodium chloride solution. The standard is lavage with up to 50 L of fluid. Upon completion of the procedure, the lung is suctioned of most of the isotonic sodium chloride solution and allowed to recover before lavaging the other lung. Lung lavage has been performed in hyperbaric chambers, which has made lavage of both lungs possible on the same day. Lung lavage may require several hours.
Although WLL is an invasive procedure, it has been determined to be safe and associated with a low rate of procedure-related morbidity. The results of a global practice survey of 20 centers in 14 countries found the most complications to be fever (18%), worsened hypoxemia (14%), wheezing (6%), pneumonia (5%) and pleural effusion (3%).[34, 35]
Rarely, hyperbaric chamber or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been used to perform WLL in cases of severe hypoxemia.[36]
Lung transplantation is the treatment of choice in patients with congenital PAP and in adult patients with end-stage interstitial fibrosis and cor pulmonale.
Patients with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) usually improve dramatically with whole-lung lavage, but relapses may occur. Repeated lavage usually is necessary. Patients should have regular follow-up with a pulmonologist.
Patients prone to alveolar proteinosis related to inhalation of inorganic dusts or insecticides should avoid further exposure.
Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) may be useful in approximately 50% of patients with acquired disease, although it is still regarded as experimental. (Adequate dosing schedules are under investigation.) GM-CSF is unsuccessful in congenital disease.
With solitary pulmonary opacities, not treating and observing the natural history of the disease is appropriate. It often resolves over 3-9 months.

Reasonable Return Expectations
The Problem The Solution: TIP$TER Case Studies Sample Reports Download TIP$TER TIP$TER User Guide Support
Reasonable Return Expectations
TIP$TER, unlike practically every other popular retirement calculator or monte carlo simulator, is structured upon the concept of the equity risk premium. TIP$TER assumes that an investor's portfolio is split and annually rebalanced between a basket of risk-free assets (e.g., TIPS) and a basket of risky assets (e.g., a total stock market index fund). TIP$TER asks for two "return expectation" inputs: (1) the "real return on TIPS" (or the return on some other proxy for an risk-free asset of the investor's choosing), and (2) the "extra expected return on stocks" (or the extra expected return on some other basket of risky assets of the investor's choosing).
The "extra expected return" is a simple distillation of the "equity risk premium." The "equity risk premium" (ERP) – the most important variable in financial economics – is nothing more than the difference between the expected total return on an equity index and the return on a risk-free asset. To put it another way, the ERP refers to the additional expected return for stocks – to compensate for the risk – over the so-called "risk-free" rate.
For an investor with a long planning horizon, the equity risk premium is the dominant factor driving the optimal stock/bond asset allocation split. Nothing drives the relative attractiveness of stocks versus bonds as much as the equity risk premium.
TIP$TER requires you to enter your forward-looking expected equity risk premium in the "Extra expected return on stocks" input. For guidance on specifying this input, read the What is a Reasonable Equity Risk Premium? page.

The laser shows at the Pacific Science Center's Laser Dome are not a series of straight, bright lines of light pulsing to the beat of the music in a thick fog of smoke. They aren't a preprogrammed display that the employees turn on and forget about. They are nothing like the iTunes visualizer.
The spectacle is surprisingly dynamic and creative. From Laser Outkast to Laser Gorillaz to Laser Journey, these live events require the hand of a laser artist at the controls who's watching the show—and gauging crowd reaction as it goes. Shows shift based on the artist and the audience; you're encouraged to clap and cheer for whatever amuses or excites you, helping to guide the visuals the artist decides to use. As for the music, what you're hearing is 15,000 watts of digital sound inside the world's largest and longest-operating domed laser theater—at 80 feet in diameter and 40 years, respectively.
After entering the theater and lying down—the best spots are on the floor, although there are also seats—all that's visible is a gigantic dome ceiling whose surface is made up of thousands of triangles and diamonds in cream-colored fabric. About a minute before the show starts (especially if you're high), the shapes might move just outside your peripheral vision, like an optical illusion. Then the lights go down, you can't see the ceiling anymore, and the dome fills with colors and shapes and patterns.
Each song is its own tiny universe. Each track has individualized aesthetics. Occasionally they'll throw in plot development, recurring characters, and symbolism; the detailed digital animation and sweeping visual effects feel more like a movie than a light show. The way that the theater curves around and encompasses your entire field of vision (side note: wear contacts, not glasses) makes everything outside of the dome impossible and foreign, too far away to comprehend.
On Friday and Saturday nights, tickets are $10.50, and on Thursday, which is "Cheap Date Night," they're $7 apiece. The matinees (offered only on weekends) are geared toward people visiting the Pacific Science Center for the day, so laser show entry is lumped in with admission and costs $22.75. If there's something you can only express in laser writing, displaying a personalized message of 25 characters or less during a public show costs $50. And you can rent out the dome for private parties and events.
Thurs at 8 pm
Shake it, as it were, like a Polaroid picture (or, more accurately, lie there motionless like a sessile waster at a laser show on a Thursday night) and enjoy hits by Outkast.
Thurs at 9:15 pm
Imagine the blinking, moving colors in this EDM concert like "gloving" but on a gigantic scale. It's more impressive (even missing the fancy little finger tricks).
Fri—Sat at 8 pm
Everybody sing: "I'm on my back to get lasers..." Note: The laser effects will be vastly more enjoyable if you remove your helmet.
Fri—Sat at 9:15 pm
If you absolutely insist on listening to The Dark Side of the Moon, you should at least have the decency to do it at a laser dome.
Fri—Sat at 10:30 pm
Lie down and jam out to hard rock (like "Crazy Train," "Dream On," and "You Shook Me All Night Long") at the Science Center's newest laser show, which opened April 1.
Fri—Sat at midnight
One thing you can definitely say about Pink Floyd's 1979 double concept album: It's moderately more enjoyable than oral surgery (comfortably numb or not), though the double bill with The Dark Side of the Moon makes one wonder.
Sat—Sun at 12:30 pm
Best music ever made plus lasers. What more do you want, a foot rub?
Sat—Sun at 1:15 pm, Sun at 8 pm
Not a hologram from your nightmares but a celebration of MJ's music accompanied by contemporaneous technology.
Laser Journey: Don't Stop Believing
Sat—Sun at 2:15 pm
Everybody, a wise man once sang, wants a thrill. On weekend afternoons, the movie never ends. Nor does the wheel in the sky stop turning. You see where I'm going with this...
Laser Guardians: Awesome Mix Tape
Sat—Sun at 3:15 pm
In the middle of the afternoon, lie back and soak up the soundtrack to Marvel's hit film Guardians of the Galaxy, featuring artists including David Bowie, the Runaways, the Jackson 5, Raspberries, and Blue Swede.
Sun at 9:15 pm
See Pacific Science Center's laser-filled take on the virtual band Gorillaz (known for their own digital animations) every Sunday night.

The structures are intimates, since some of them only have 2 luxury tents which have the particularity of being located in the middle of the wildest and most breathtaking desert. Most of the tents are built on stilts and are completely open to the environment and to the infinite sight of the Namib Rand land. The Wolwedans Boulders Camp, one of the most recent, welcomes its guests at the south of Wolwedans. The Camp is built right up against the red granite rocks. Here, the large arid plains with yellow grass are punctuated with mountains. The Wolwedans camps offer numerous activities such as trips in 4×4, fauna and flora observation of the Namibian desert, trekking, horse ridding, hot air balloons flights… A fantastic adventure in an area still untouched in Namibia.

Velocys appoints Wroley to manage delivery of fully integrated technology package
In the UK, Velocys announced the appointment of Worley to manage the delivery of its fully integrated technology package.
Worley is the partner in the development of pre-feasibility, feasibility and FEED packages for all projects in the Velocys portfolio. This allows Velocys to leverage synergies across multiple projects and geographies. Worley's global reach allows an effective collaborative partnership to deliver projects worldwide.
The fully integrated technology package converts waste feedstocks into sustainable aviation and road transport fuels. Velocys has selected all the technology suppliers for its Bayou Fuels woody-biomass-to-fuels project in Natchez, Mississippi, USA. The same technology package will be used for the Altalto Immingham waste-to-fuels project in the UK.
The industry leading licensors were selected, after extensive due diligence and engineering assessment, to create an integrated technology solution consisting of five process steps (including Velocys' own technology), each of which has been demonstrated at commercial scale on similar feedstocks:
Step Process Licensor
1 Gasification TRI (ThermoChem Recovery International)
2 Syngas partial oxidation Arvos Schmidtsche-Schack (SCS), and cooling with Linde's Hot Oxygen Burner Technology
3 Syngas clean-up & conditioning Air Liquide Engineering & Construction
4 Fisher Tropsch (FT) hydrocarbon Velocys synthesis
5 Product upgrading Haldor Topsoe
The careful selection and combination of the above technologies provides a de-risked solution enabling the processing of different solid feedstocks (including both woody biomass and municipal solid waste), and sufficient flexibility to allow production of multiple products including Synthetic Paraffinic Kerosene (SPK) and diesel. A capture-ready carbon dioxide stream is also produced, enabling negative-emissions fuels wherever CO(2) usage or storage options are available, as is the case for the Bayou Fuels project.
Velocys has also successfully concluded an integrated piloting program culminating in the production of SPK, diesel and naphtha from representative Fischer Tropsch liquids.

Old boys who were really girls all along
Those who want to know some of the nasty details of life at school can read these two previous posts:
Historic Child Abuse - a new hope?
Historic Child Abuse Update
I did wonder if there were any other trans girls at my school. I can't have been the only one, I thought. Ironically, the newsletter I got earlier this month that mentioned GDPR also mentioned an 'old boy' who has transitioned and now lives a full female life. So there's my answer. Of course there must have been another! I just never new if there was anyone with the guts to say so.
There's also a footnote saying how the school is much more alert to LGBT issues and provides suitable help. As it's still a school just for boys, and I am unconvinced about its attempts to reform its culture, I have some doubts that trans girls will really get much help. Maybe I'm too cynical after my experiences there, but I would hope that those struggling with their gender might be able to go to a mixed local school instead. After all, why is splitting the sexes / genders up deemed to improve their education in any case?
I'll be emailing my new-found fellow old girl just to say hi. Who knows, something good might come from the whole experience.

Ah, single sex schools. You leave with little clue about the mysterious other form of humanity. Was it also a grammar, BTW?ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Lynn. No, it wasn't a grammar school, but nor was it (shudder) a new-fangled 'academy'. It was basically a day-borstal with exams. I'm glad, though, that another transwoman was able to survive it and thrive in later life as her real self rather than just conforming to the macho mould they wanted for her. Sue xDelete
I found out the answer to that one when long ago searching for news of the one real friend I had at school. Not knowing the "year" I was supposed to be in, not how we thought back then, I took a guess on the school former pupils site of an all "boys" school and there in the year before mine was a picture of a gorgeous girl! One who had better luck with the system and was able to change early.ReplyDelete
The damn school had been running for 666 years and one of the first things they taught me was that they had no idea that someone like me existed! somehow some years ago they tracked down my address and sent invitation to reunion and begging letter for support. They got a fulsome description of the absolute misery and hell they had put me through.
Cruelest part of all was that from that school but separated by two spiked iron fences and a river was the girls grammar school where I should have been and may have been able to have a life and make a positive contribution to society and government coffers.Replies
Thank you for sharing your experiences, Caroline, and I'm very sorry that you had such a bad time. It's frustrating when there's the girls' half of the school just a short distance away. That was the situation at my school, too. It does seem that schools are becoming more aware of LGBT issues, at last, and maybe a new generation of pupils won't have such a bad time. Best wishes, Sue xDelete
