LONDON (TrustLaw) - Up to 10 million girls under the age of 18 are coaxed, coerced or forced into marriage each year, development charity Plan UK said on Monday.
Here's what it says about the definition of a child marriage in its report "Breaking Vows"
Defining early and forced marriage:
Marriage is a formalised, binding partnership between consenting adults. Child marriage, on the other hand, involves either one or both spouses being children and may take place under civil, religious or customary laws with or without formal registration. Children are people under the age of 18 years old.
Early because girls marry before the age of 18
The U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) defines a child as 'every human being below the age of eighteen years unless, under the law applicable to the child, majority is attained earlier.'
Marriage before the age of 18 years old should not be permitted since children do not have the 'full maturity and capacity to act,' as recognised by the expert body that monitors the Convention on the Elimination on All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) in its General Recommendation 21.
Forced because girls rarely give their free and full consent to marry
The 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that marriage should be 'entered only with the free and full consent of the intending spouses.' In the majority of child marriages, however, there is often an element of coercion involved: parents, guardians or families put pressure on children or force them into marriage. Early marriage is accepted as the norm in many countries and girls may give their consent as a duty and sign of respect to their family and community. However, where one of the parties in a marriage is under the age of 18 years old, consent cannot always be assumed to be 'free and full' and is rarely in the best interest of the girl.
Early and forced marriage and boys
Plan says there is a need to also address its impact on boys and young men. While early and forced marriage directly impacts boys on a much smaller scale, for those that it does affect, it can have profound psychological consequences and is no less a violation of their rights.
Equally, boys have a powerful role to play in ending early and forced marriage, according to Plan.

Welcome to AllenAltvater.org, a website dedicated to publishing my grandfather's works, as well as historical information on the city of Sebring and the Altvater family.
The materials published by Allen Altvater for the Sebring Historical Society are a priceless asset for understanding the early development of the City of Sebring… as well as Highlands Hammock State Park, the Sebring Airport, and the Sebring Fire Department. Contained within this website WILL BE many of the collections and stories that Allen put into print form, along with many other historical documents from his personal files.
In addition to the written materials and historical documents are numerous scrap books with newspaper clippings and photos from the 1920's-1960's. Although the newsprint is aged, many of the photos are in excellent shape. These materials will be scanned and placed in photo gallery's by subject within these pages in the months ahead.
Please be patient as this will be a lengthy and ongoing project that may never be fully completed! Several of the books that I have made available in these pages, such as the Sebring Air Terminal, The Story of the Sebring Firemen, and Highlands Hammock are readable here, or you can find them in print form and available in limited quantities at the Sebring Historical Society Archives located beneath the Sebring Public Library or by contacting me at email@example.com.
During 2007, The Story of the Sebring Firemen was updated, reprinted, and presented to the active duty Sebring Firefighters and Sebring City Council. This was a very rewarding project. I'm so thankful that Ray Graddy was with us in making the presentation of the books to our firemen. Like the Sebring Air Terminal book, this book is available in limited quantities at the Sebring Historical Society or by contacting me at.

Kids in Greece ask Santa for jobs for parents
By FnF Desk
PUBLISHED: Dec 24, 2011, 12:39 pm IST | UPDATED: Dec 24, 2011, 13:40 pm
Keywords: Santa Claus Greece wishes of kids this christmas letter to santa gifts on christmas
Athens: For the first time since a "Santa Claus Post Office" opened around two decades ago in Greece, children in the debt-hit country have not only asked for new toys, but also for jobs for their unemployed parents.
Officials at the headquarters of Hellenic Post in Athens - where thousands of letters sent to Santa Claus are collected in special red boxes - were left speechless this week, as they read a letter that was "more like a list for the supermarket" than a typical Christmas letter, Xinhua reported.
The letter by a little girl named Maria, an elementary school pupil from the southern Aegean island of Crete, read:
"Dear Santa Claus, this year I want you to bring me two baby pampers, milk, a pacifier, a purple brush and a job for my sister."
Though traditionally Christmas means fun for children, amidst the deep recession in Greece, for many families this festival season will be different as major cuts in salaries and emergency taxes did not leave margins for many gifts and expenses.
Many other kids have written to Santa Claus with the hope that he finds jobs for their parents or gives money for everyday needs during the holidays instead of sending expensive dolls.
All letters received in the special red boxes placed outside every local post office across Greece will be read by officials and all children would receive a written reply and a symbolic present from Santa Claus.
Greece's soaring debt has caused an economic crisis in the country. The country's budget deficit has reached almost 13 percent of its GDP.

(b) substantially solid, preferably non-conductive, material overlying and/or filling the cellular structure.
The solid material (b) is preferably polymeric and may be formed in situ by polymerization of a monomer oligomer or may be introduced e.g. in molten form.
The material is useful for electromagnetic shielding, e.g. for cable feedthrough glands or dimensionally recoverable articles.
1. An electrically conductive composite material comprising:
(a) an open-celled cellular structure of polymeric material having electrically conductive material on at least its interior surface defining the cellular free space, and
(b) substantially solid electrically non-conductive filling material substantially filling the cellular free space.
2. A composite material according to claim 1 wherein the average cell diameter of the cellular structure is within the range form 0.01 to 10 millimeters.
3. A composite material according to claim 1, wherein the cellular free space comprises 45 to 99% of the unfilled cellular structure.
4. A composite material according to claim 1, wherein the electrically conductive material is a substantially continuous coating on the interior surface of the cellular structure.
5. A composite material according to claim 4, wherein the electrically conductive coating is a metal coating.
6. A composite material according to claim 5, wherein the metal coating has been plated on the polymeric material.
7. A composite material according to claim 1, wherein the material within the cellular free space comprises polymeric material.
8. A composite material according to claim 7, wherein the polymeric material within the cellular free space has been formed in situ by polymerisation of a monomer or oligomer.
9. A composite material according to claim 1, wherein the material within the cellular free space has been introduced thereinto in a molten state and subsequently solidified.
10. A composite material according to claim 1, wherein the material within the cellular free space comprises an elastomer.
11. A dimensionally recoverable article which is provided with an electromagnetic shield comprising a composite material as claimed in claim 1.
12. A composite material according to claim 2, wherein the average cell diameter of the cellular structure is within the range from 0.2 to 2 millimeters.
13. A cable feedthrough gland for use with at least one shielded cable, the gland comprising:
(a) an electrically conductive housing; and
(b) a seal formed from an electically conductive composite material as claimed in claim 1, the seal being arranged to form a seal, and an electrical connection between the housing and the shield of a cable which, when the gland is in use, would extend through the housing.
This invention relates to an electrically conductive composite material, and to articles using electrically conductive composite material.
Known electrically conductive composites include a "felt" sheet of sintered metal fibres filled with silicone elastomer, which is used in flat gaskets to provide environmental sealing and EMI shielding continuity between mating surfaces in electrical equipment. Elastomer filled metal screens, woven or knitted metal filled with elastomer, and sheets of elastomers filled with carbon or metal particles or fibres are also known for such gaskets.
The present invention provides a new composite having an advantageous combination of high electrical conductivity and desirable retention of the filling polymer characteristics.
The invention accordingly provides an electrically conductive composite material comprising
(a) an open-celled cellular structure of polymeric material having electrically conductive material on at least its interior surface defining the cellular free space, and
(b) substantially solid filling material substantially filling at least part of the cellular free space. The composite material according to this invention is able to provide a substantially continuous three-dimensional network of the electrically conductive material giving good conductivity while minimising the amount of metal present in the composite, since a thin layer of the conductive material on the cell-defining interior surface of the polymer structure will suffice. Because the conductive material is thus minimised, the composite is enabled to retain much of the character of the filling material. In preferred forms, where the filling is flexible e.g. elastomeric, the cellular structure and the conductive material, (usually metal), cna be sufficiently flexible for the composite to be largely elastomeric in character. The filling material filling the cellular structure helps to retain the integrity of the electrically conductive material even when the composite is subjected to considerable deformation.
The open-celled cellular structure is preferably provided by applying electrically conductive material to the interior surface of open-celled cellular polymeric material, which may be prepared by any convenient method, such as sintering or otherwise bonding together polymer fibres, but is preferably a foamed polymer within which membranes between adjacent cells have been removed by known techniques. Alternatively, polymer fibres already coated with the conductive material could be sintered to provide the electrically conductive cellular structure.
The electrically conductive material may be of any kind and in any form and applied in any way which provides a level of electrical conductivity desired for the end use of a given composite, but is preferably a substantially continuous coating on the free-space defining interior surface of the cellular structure. The conductive material is preferably a metal, and is preferably plated onto the polymer e.g. by electroless plating and/or electroplating, preferably after suitable surface treatment of the polymer, e.g. acid etching.
When the filling material is substantially electrically non-conductive, e.g. polymeric or elastomeric material the present invention has the advantage that the insulating filling polymer cannot disrupt the conductivity of the substantially continuous coating of the electrically conductive material preferably present on the interior surface of the cellular structure. In contrast with this, a woven or non-woven structure of individual fibres would suffer from reduced conductivity due to the filling polymer intruding between the fibres and increasing the electrical resistance at the inter-fibre contact points.
From this aspect, therefore, the present invention provides an electrically conductive composite material comprising
(a) an open-celled cellular structure of polymeric material having electrically conductive material on at least its interior surface defining the cellular free space, and
(b) substantially solid substantially electrically non-conductive material overlying the electrically conductive material.
The non-conductive material preferably substantially fills the cellular free space to provide a composite having the features hereinbefore described.
The cell size of the cellular structure influences the flexibility and conductivity of the composite, and average cell diameter within the range from 0.01 to 10 millimeters preferably 0.2 to 2 millimeters, being preferred, and the cellular free space preferably comprises from 45 to 99% by volume of the unfilled cellular structure.
Polymeric filling material may be formed in situ by polymerisation of a monomer or oligomer within the cellular structure, or may be introduced thereinto in a flowable state and thereafter solidifed, e.g. by solidification of molten polymer or by drying of a solution or dispersion of polymer in a fluid carrier, or by cross-linking a flowable polymer.
The materials used in the composite may be selected according to the end use properties desired. The polymer which forms the cellular structure carrying the electrically conductive material may any comprise suitable cellular polymer, for example polyester, polyamide, polyurethane, polyolefins.
The electrically conductive material may be an inherently conductive polymer e.g. polyacetylene or polypyrrole, or a polymer filled with electrically conductive filler to a level giving acceptable conductivity, but is preferably a metal, e.g. copper, silver, nickel, cobalt or tin/lead alloys.
The filling material may be chosen to provide the desired properties, and may for some purposes be a metallic composition such as solder or an electrically conductive polymer or polymer composition. Substantially electrically non-conductive polymers are, however, preferred, elastomers being especially useful for environmental sealing purposes, e.g. in cable feedthrough glands. Suitable elastomers include, for example polyrethanes, silicon rubber, polysulphides, polyamides. Other potentially useful fillings include hot melt adhesives, gels, thermoplastics, epoxies and other thermosetting compositions, and systems which are polymerisable in situ within the cellular structure.
The composite materials in accordance with the invention may be used in areas other than the production of feedthrough glands. For example they may be incorporated within a dimensionally recoverable article, e.g. a heat-shrinkable article, in order to provide electromagnetic shielding for the article and the enclosed equipment. Electrically shielded heat-shrinkable articles ae described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,467,002 the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
The appearance of the electrically conductive composite can readily be imagined from the preceding description without the need to resort to drawings. Use in cable feedthrough glands of electrically conductive composites having the advantageous cellular structure instead of fibrous or particulate conductive material is new, and will therefore now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In this aspect, the invention provides a composite material, wherein the non-conductive material substantially fills the cellular free space. The composite seal is preferably as hereinbefore described, although for some purposes less than complete filling and/or fillings other than polymers may be desirable.
Referring to the drawings, FIG. 1 shows one type of gland used in ships, industrial plants, public buildings, power stations, etc.
The various cables 10 are passed through the gland frame 11 in wall 1, and to complete the installation pairs of rubber blocks 12 with semi circular channels are fitted around each cable to form a rectangular matrix filling the frame. Blanking blocks 6 fill any unused spaces. The whole assembly is then compressed mechanically in a plane at right angles to the cables by compression bolt 13 acting on compression assembly 14, 15, 16, 17 which is slidable within the frame 11, thus closing any gaps in the matrix and clamping and sealing on to the cable jackets.
So that the rubber blocks according to the present invention will electrically connect the outer braided screens of the cables to the gland frame, cables with an external jacket over the screen may have the outer insulation cut away locally, "centre-stripped", to expose the screen.
The requirments of low toxicity/low flammability/ fire integrity/electrical conductivity can be met by the present invention. Conductivity is the biggest problem in the known glands, a standard requirement being 0.3 ohms maximum resistance between the cable braid and the gland frame. Conductive rubbers are too resistive, unless very high filler loadings are used, e.g. silver which is expensive. One approach known prior to the present invention is believed to have been to incorporate spring-loaded metal contacts in the rubber blocks, which is undesirably complicated.
FIG. 2 shows a preferred "sandwich" design for the rubber blocks using the composite material of the present invention. In this form, the conductive composite forms the central part 21 of the block 22, with plain polymer end portions 23, preferably of the same polymer as fills the cellular structure of the composite, e.g. silicone rubber. In this, and other, constructions the cellular structure need not necessarily be completely filled, and forms of electrically conductive cellular structure such as sintered metal fibres could be used if the disadvantages of greater weight and rigidity can be tolerated.
The startng point for the preferred block is a very highly expanded polyether foam, so highly expanded as to be "skeletal", i.e. a very open celled structure. Electroless plating with an adherent coating of nickel renders it highly conductive, and it can then be filled with silicon rubber by pouring the liquid silicone rubber into it and curing it. The result is effectively highly conductive silicone rubber with minimum loss of rresilience and very low but very effective metal content.
The preferred "sandwich" of this material between plain silicone rubber end portions as described above in use allows the conductive part to contact the exposed cable braid and the plain end sections to seal against and support the cable jacket. Such a system has all the practical advantages of the known gland system with the added benefit of EMI shielding.
The use of our material, because it is so conductive allows an advantageously thin conductive part in the "sandwich" which makes up the preferred gland blocks. This leaves plenty of fire resistant rubber at the ends. A less conductive system would mean less room for fire resistant rubber or dictate thicker blocks.

"Very well researched"
For my taste the book could have been shorter. More research than I needed, monkey experiments were tough to get through, theories from many other sources to back up the premise that the mind can change the brain. I did get a great deal out of the book and was then inspired to get a hypnosis book about the Mind changing the brain, by two different Doctors. It is good to know we are not "stuck" with the brain we have, we can make improvements.
"Fabulous book"
This book explains the connection between the mind and the brain. It's full of information about how the brain functions.
"Only read if you are a Neuroscience junkie."
If the author had written a more engaging narrative that would help his readers apply his findings to their own lives, much more like the "Down the Rabbit Hole" movies. The author spends most of his time trying to prove how right he is. It reads more like a dissertation than a book one might buy to leaner more about the fascinating field of neuroplasticity.
He's a little dry. I know the material is very dry, but adding more inflection might have helped keep me engaged.
Annoyance and disappointment.
"A must read for educators"
This book will open your eyes to just how complicated, yet chemically simple we humans are.
Explains quite a bit about human nature.
"Free Will Makes a Comeback"
Tired of being told that you're just a wind up toy in a wind up universe? Break out of the causal universe into the realm of the empowered soul with the help of objective data and proven results. You have nothing to lose but your Newtonian shaclkles! Take up arms against the inevitable and embrace the possible!. This well written exposition of the power of intention will make everyone who regrets the loss of personal accountability in the social sphere glad and will point you in the direction of changing your concept of will and empower you to exercise it. Great listen, also. Arthur Morey keeps it interesting.
Bibliophile, nature nut, Kuk Sool Won student, physical therapist, and spaz. I love stories, learning new things, laughing and stretching my heart, mind and body.
"Only got through it because it was interesting."
I have a passion for neuroscience, so it's the only reason i tolerated the narration, which sounded computer generated. Fascinating material (although a few side jaunts that seemed, well side-tracked). I have told my friends that if i had it to do over, i would borrow the print version from the library.
"Life application"
Experience is a good teacher. This book explains why. OCD patients have a bad habit. This book describes the four step process to break the bad habit. Learn how a stroke patient can regain some lost functionality. Learn how some students with language problems overcame them. Learn what some serious musicians facing career ending decisions done to overcome the struggle.
You could summarize the above in less than 30 minutes. But it would not include the history or the series of scientific experiments that changed the thinking of the scientific community.
Some Christians believe in "free will". Others believe in predestination. The author makes the case for free will but from a Buddhist perspective.
And while many of the Ten Commandments contain "shall not", the scriptures also contain some things to do. Philippians 4:8…Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest… think on these things.
Talent is Overrated. Some of the research presented by both books blends together.
"Opens our minds to possibilities"
This non-fiction book was engaging and informative. It is kind of dense, but once you get into it, there is so much great information about the brain and how it works. Neuroplasticity provides so many possibilities.
The reader does an excellent job.
"Lullaby reading"
I might, as the content did sound interesting, but I found it hard to pay attention to the words as the reading performance was more like something I would expect from a relaxation meditation.
Didn't get to the end.
Dry, quiet, flat, sleep-inducing. Good enunciation, so the words were clear. I would choose to listen to him recite a book that I want to fall to sleep to.
Might have to buy the book in print to properly review the book as I couldn't listen to it all the way through.
"Interesting premise, but gets too weighed down"
Probably not - I honestly couldn't get through the whole recording. I still have >1 hour left in the recording, but I felt it was becoming far too weighed down with repetitive scientific studies instead of discussing their application near the end.
I absolutely loved the first half of this book. I am a physician and was intrigued by the evidence that they present that has a clinical application for my own patients, as well as friends and family. However, the 2 hours spent describing in detail the atrocities performed on lab-chimps was wholly unnecessary. It was not enjoyable listening, and truly not what the book was about. I really appreciated the scientific results of the chimp studies, but the message got lost. As the story progressed, it moved from a more clinical application to repetitively belaboring endless studies. The premises in this book about how we learn, how our brain learns and changes, and how we can use this information to change the way we teach ourselves and our kids is amazingly useful- but I think a lot of people aren't going to read it because of the length and serious scientific studies. A revision for the lay-person just discussing the results and clinical application would be very useful. I would still recommend the book for what can be learned - but with the caveat that there may be some times you really have to stick with it and tough it out.

Earlier this week, as we attempted to find cross-dressing comedies that were probably worse than Adam Sandler's Jack & Jill, we discovered there is a suprising amount of really great cross-dressing films. Looks like Sandler really has his work cut out for him if he wants to go down in history alongside these classics (listed below in no particular order). Otherwise, he'll end up etched into history alongside White Chicks.
Tim Burton's homage to the classically shitty director stars Johnny Depp in the title role. The film centers on Wood as he struggles to get his work made, be true to himself and his cross dressing, and his friendship with Bela Lugosi. I can only hope that twenty years from now, Tommy Wiseau's biopic is handled with the same class, wit, and decorum.
What do you do when you lose the chance at a highly-coveted internship? Well, you automatically assume the world has it out for you because you're so pretty and therefore disguise yourself as a member of the opposite sex and resubmit. What do you do when that doesn't work? Assume the world has it out for you because your new Jo Calderone persona is so beloved, and disguise yourself in a gorilla outfit and resubmit.
Sidenote: Check out the picture above. Sucks to be Doris.
Way back in 1800 BC England, women weren't allowed to act on the stage. The only way to do so was through the deceptive practice of disguising themselves unconvincingly as a man and strutting around with a sock in their pants. That's exactly what Gwyneth Paltrow does in Shakespeare in Love. I think it's also what Chris Colfer does on Glee.

Video:5 Ways to Discipline a Teenagerwith Patricia O'Laughlin
Learn about five of the best ways to discipline a teenager (since it becomes harder to put them in "time out"). Here, see information on how to discipline a teenager.See Transcript
Transcript:5 Ways to Discipline a TeenagerHi, my name is Patricia O'Laughlin and I'm a Marriage and Family Therapist with TherapyForParents.com. Today I'm talking to you on behalf of About.com on 5 ways to discipline a teenager.
Best Ways to Discipline a TeenagerThere are five ways to discipline a teenager.
The first and maybe the most important is don't get into lecturing. Teenagers have an off button for lecturing. Try to engage in a discussion. Allow them to participate; ask questions; see what their answers are. This will allow you to understand their perspective, how much you can trust them, and it will also allow them to hear you better.
The second point is work with them to set consequences. Have a discussion with them about what they think the consequence should be to their behavior. Don't let them get way with a weak consequence, but allow them to get in a discussion with you about it.
The third thing is make sure the consequence is linked to the behavior. This will make more sense for the teenager. For example, don't take way the internet because they stayed out late at night. Maybe you take away their bus pass or their car, or you push their curfew up earlier. That consequence is linked directly to the behavior.
The fourth thing is don't just focus on consequences - focus on rewards and strengths too. In fact, you might even want to focus on these more often. It's really easy to get caught up in the negative, but to help build up a child's self-esteem, it's important to focus on strengths and to build a system of rewards.
The fifth thing is you can show anger, but don't take way your love. It's really important that your teen knows that even though you are angry, you still love them and accept them. Watch out for your non-verbals: walking away, looking down, things that might feel rejecting to the teen. In fact even a hug when we're angry can be good.
Notes About the Best Ways to Discipline a TeenagerDisciplining teenagers is one of the hardest things a parent will do. It is essential though. Being a teenager means making adult decisions. And they are relying on you to keep them safe. I hope these tips help you. Thank you so much for watching. For more information, visit us on the web at About.com.

Rx drug information, pharmaceutical research, clinical trials, news, and more
Metronidazole has been shown to be carcinogenic in mice and rats.(See PRECAUTIONS.)Unnecessary use of the drug should be avoided.Its use should be reserved for conditions described in the INDICATIONS AND USAGE section below.
Flagyl® ERmetronidazole extended release tablets
Metronidazole is an oral synthetic antiprotozoal and antibacterial agent, 2-methyl-5-nitroimidazole-1-ethanol.
Flagyl ER 750 mg tablets are indicated in the treatment of women with Bacterial Vaginosis (BV).
To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of Flagyl ER and other antibacterial drugs, Flagyl ER should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. When culture and susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy. In the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy.
Efficacy and safety of metronidazole for pulmonary multidrug-resistant
tuberculosis. [2013]Pulmonary lesions from active tuberculosis patients are thought to contain
persistent, nonreplicating bacilli that arise from hypoxic stress... Newer nitroimidazoles with both aerobic and
anaerobic activity, now in clinical trials, may increase the sterilizing potency
of future treatment regimens.
Randomised clinical trial: vancomycin or metronidazole in patients with primary
sclerosing cholangitis - a pilot study. [2013]in patients with PSC... CONCLUSIONS: Both vancomycin and metronidazole demonstrated efficacy; however,
Clinical and microbiological benefits of metronidazole alone or with amoxicillin as adjuncts in the treatment of chronic periodontitis: a randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial. [2011.09]AIM: To evaluate the effects of the adjunctive use of metronidazole (MTZ) or MTZ+amoxicillin (AMX) in the treatment of generalized chronic periodontitis (ChP)... CONCLUSION: The adjunctive use of MTZ+AMX offers short-term clinical and microbiological benefits, over SRP alone, in the treatment of non-smokers subjects with generalized ChP. The added benefits of MTZ were less evident. (c) 2011 John Wiley & Sons A/S.
Helicobacter pylori eradication with a capsule containing bismuth subcitrate potassium, metronidazole, and tetracycline given with omeprazole versus clarithromycin-based triple therapy: a randomised, open-label, non-inferiority, phase 3 trial. [2011.03.12]BACKGROUND: Helicobacter pylori is associated with benign and malignant diseases of the upper gastrointestinal tract, and increasing antibiotic resistance has made alternative treatments necessary. Our aim was to assess the efficacy and safety of a new, single-capsule treatment versus the gold standard for H pylori eradication... INTERPRETATION: Quadruple therapy should be considered for first-line treatment in view of the rising prevalence of clarithromycin-resistant H pylori, especially since quadruple therapy provides superior eradication with similar safety and tolerability to standard therapy. FUNDING: Axcan Pharma Inc. Copyright (c) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Tinidazole vs metronidazole for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis. [2011.03]OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of 2 different doses of tinidazole with metronidazole for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis and to compare the side effects of the drugs... CONCLUSION: There were no differences in cure rates between metronidazole and either of the tinidazole dosing regimens that were studied. In addition, there were no important differences in the side-effect profiles of metronidazole and tinidazole. Copyright (c) 2011 Mosby, Inc. All rights reserved.
An Evaluation of the Cosmetic Appearance of Metronidazole Gel (MetroGel®) 1% [Completed]
The purpose of this study is to determine the cosmetic appearance of metronidazole gel
(MetroGel®) 1% with commonly marketed facial foundations.
A Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetic Study of Two Formulations of Metronidazole Versus Immediate Release Metronidazole in Patient With C. Difficile Colitis [Recruiting]
Clostridium difficile bacteria can be a cause of significant diarrheal disease, particularly
in people who have taken potent antibiotics. When C. difficile multiplies within the colon,
it produces two toxins that cause inflammation and resultant abdominal pain, fever and
diarrhea. Current treatment of mild to moderate disease is with immediate release
metronidazole, an antibiotic that kills C. difficile. Dr. Reddy's Laboratories has
developed a delayed release form of metronidazole to release just before the colon to
increase the concentration of antibiotic in the colon to improve the effectiveness of
metronidazole treatment and potentially to allow less whole body exposure to the antibiotic.
This study will measure the amount of metronidazole in the blood and stool of patients with
C. difficile associated diarrhea (CDAD) to confirm that the new formulations are releasing
the antibiotic as designed, immediately before the colon.
Efficacy of Metronidazole Versus Metronidazole and Rifampin in CDAD Treatment [Completed]
What is the difference between the use of one drug (Oral Metronidazole) versus the use of
this same drug combined with another drug (Rifampin) in treatment of bacteria and
infection-associated diarrhea in patients? This infection is an important cause of morbidity
and mortality in both the community and hospitals, and the leading cause of hospital and
chronic facility-acquired diarrhea. Research is important for the treatment of this
infection. Patient care with use of two medication treatment regimens will be studied.
Do Motion Metrics Lead to Improved Skill Acquisition on Simulators? [Recruiting]
Emphasizing the growing popularity of motion metrics are the majority of available virtual
reality simulators and some newer hybrid models that offer motion tracking for performance
assessment. A popular hybrid model (PROMIS) allows training with regular laparoscopic
instruments in a box-trainer while automatically recording task duration and movement
efficiency (pathlength and smoothness) that are immediately offered as feedback to
Despite the increasing availability of simulators that track motion, our knowledge of the
impact those metrics have on trainee learning is severely limited. We do not know if it is
more important to use speed, accuracy, motion efficiency or a combination thereof for
performance assessment and how these metrics impact skill transfer to the OR.
Based on sound educational principles we have developed a proficiency-based laparoscopic
suturing simulator curriculum. This curriculum focuses on deliberate and distributed
practice, provides trainees with augmented feedback and sets expert-derived performance
goals based on time and errors. We have previously demonstrated that this curriculum leads
to improved operative performance of trainees compared to controls.
To measure operative performance and determine transferability, we will use a live porcine
Nissen fundoplication model. Instead of placing actual patients at risk, the porcine model
is preferable for this purpose as it offers objective metrics (targets are established,
distances measured, knots are disrupted for slippage scoring), complete standardization, and
allows multiple individuals to be tested on the same day.
We hypothesize that proficiency-based simulator training in laparoscopic suturing to
expert-derived levels of speed and motion will result in better operative performance
compared to participants training to levels of speed or motion alone. The study is powered
to detect an at least 10% performance difference between the groups.
Specific Aims
1. Compare whether any performance differences between the groups persist long-term
2. Assess whether the groups demonstrate differences in safety in the operating room by
comparing the inadvertent injuries in the animal OR between the groups
3. Identify the training duration required by novices to reach proficiency in laparoscopic
suturing based on speed, motion efficiency, or a combination of these metrics
4. Identify any baseline participant characteristics that may predict individual
metric-specific performance
A Trial of Standard vs Half Dose Rabeprazole, Clarithromycin, Metronidazole and Amoxicillin in the Treatment of Helicobacter Pylori Infection [Recruiting]
The proposed study will test the hypothesis that H. pylori can be eradicated successfully
(>85%) using half-or full-dose "concomitant" non-bismuth quadruple therapy regimen:
rabeprazole, amoxicillin, clarithromycin and metronidazole twice daily for 7 days in
patients with peptic ulcers and H. pylori related gastritis.
Two hundred patients from the outpatient department and the endoscopy unit at AUBMC will be
enrolled in this open-label trial. Patients with positive CLO tests or urea breath tests,
documenting H. pylori infection, will be randomized into one of two groups: Full dose or half
dose the concomitant regimen, with 100 patients in each group. Compliance and side effects
will be assessed, and a urea breath test will be done for all patients after 4 weeks of
therapy completion to evaluate eradication rates. Success of therapy will be evaluated
according to intent-to treat and per-protocol analyses.

Olusegun Arowolo
You are the major determinant of your fate,
You can fly,you can live or die at a due date,
To heal your body,you need to put your mind straight,
Trust in yourself for the future holds something great,
Think of yourself and make the right choices to open this gate,
Nagging from friends can make your heart beats at a faster rate,
which can put you in a terrible state,
summon up courage and don`t take this bait,
Sow a good seed to reap a good weight,
Get it together and go for gold,for it is not too late,
To choose life is to choose to live;for this ,there is no debate,
Pain and failure are not for you,these you must hate,
You reap what you sow and you sow to create;
to create a bright future do not delay or wait.

The goals of Parents as Teachers, a long term, evidence-based family visiting program, are to increase parent knowledge of early childhood development and improve parenting practices; provide early detection of developmental delays and health issues; prevent child abuse and neglect; increase children's school readiness and school success.
Expectant mothers and families with infants. Through the MIECHV funding, services are provided to low-income women and men and their families in Central Falls, Pawtucket, Providence, and Woonsocket. Elsewhere in Rhode Island, there are other Parents as Teachers programs, each with their own eligibility requirements. For more information on other Parents as Teachers programs in Rhode Island, please contact the Rhode Island Parent Information Network.
Parents Educators are committed to providing services that embrace and celebrate the richness of all cultures within families. While acknowledging that families have challenges, Parent Educators work with the strengths of each family to manage those challenges.
During prenatal visits, Parent Educators can link expectant mothers with a medical home for their prenatal care. After the birth of a child, Parent Educators work with parents to make sure the child is receiving his or her well-child visits and is up-to-date on hearing, vision, and developmental screenings and immunizations.
Using a research-based, evidence-informed curriculum, Parent Educators provide families with developmentally appropriate activities to do with their children both during and after visits. Parents are and should be their child's most influential teacher. Parent Educators partner with parents to achieve this goal.
Anyone may refer a pregnant woman or family to Parents as Teachers. Referrals are taken from:
If you are interested in participating in Healthy Families America, text baby to 444999 or call 401-222-5960 and ask about Family Visiting.

Collected here are sixteen stories penned by authors from Thailand, the Philippines, China, Israel, Pakistan, Serbia, Croatia, Malaysia, and other countries across the globe. Each one tells a tale breathtakingly vast and varied, whether caught in the ghosts of the past or entangled in a postmodern age.
Among the spirits, technology, and deep recesses of the human mind, stories abound. Kites sail to the stars, technology transcends physics, and wheels cry out in the night. Memories come and go like fading echoes and a train carries its passengers through more than simple space and time. Dark and bright, beautiful and haunting, the stories herein represent speculative fiction from a sampling of the finest authors from around the world.

Nike price target raised to $128 on trade deal potential at Jefferies
Jefferies analyst Edward Plank raised his price target for Nike to $128 to reflect greater likelihood of the Trans-Pacific Partnership becoming law. The elimination of Vietnam import tariffs could benefit Nike's margins by up to 400 basis points over time, Plank tells investors in a research note. The recent granting of fast-track authority to President Obama significantly increases the likelihood of the free trade agreement passing, the analyst writes. He keeps a Buy rating on Nike.

Here is the 1934 "Ladies Home Companion" (Uk version) Christmas stocking. The finished one is by "granny" for client in 1971. It is being knit in fingerling weight acrylic/nylon (hard to find christmas colors these days in real wool). I am turning the heel on the sock right now and should have it completed in an hour or two. I will be swiss darning the name and various details on it.
I think I will detox after I finish the second one by knitting some "Dr. Seuss" Christmas socks...big candy striped ones in red/white or green/white with 7 toes, or something. Or maybe with one long pointy toe, ala "Who-ville". I am just a little cutsie-d out. I need something bizarre.
Good Day to You Manly Knitters!
We want you to be part of warming up a London icon for charity!
As you may or may not know Stitch and Bitch London are attempting to knit a gigantic scarf for one of the rather chilly-looking Trafalgar Square lions. The scarf will be raffled off for Cancer Research after being presented to the lion in the New Year, and one lucky winner will get a 43.5 foot scarf to wrap around their armchair/tree/house/partner.
The scarf will be presented to the lion in the New Year so you have plenty of time to knit your bit.
We would like as many people as possible to knit a piece of it. You can knit the smallest, teeny tiny part or a huge chunk, in whichever yarn you fancy using. If you wish to begin knitting your part of the giant scarf at home here are the dimensions.
The scarf will be an enormous:
10 inches (25.5cm) by 43.5 feet (13.25 metres)
Yarn: The most hideous or bizarre yarn you have.
Keep up with the beast's scarf at our website
Please join us and knit for the brave people fighting cancer. Pass it on to anyone you know anywhere in the world. Let's give that lion an international scarf he can be proud of! :)
The chart is in there. I am loathe to post it as it has a copright.
Thanks everyone!
CRAPPY WEATHER. I work outside as long as I can bear it. The flat is halfway turned into a fiber studio, and looks like a tornado hit it. My current projects are mostly repair, BUT I got a coolish commission last night: To knit a pair of Christmas stockings from a 1930ish pattern for two young kids. Evidently granny has knit abot 30+ of these stockings for the family, but is too old to do it anymore, and the youngest are the only ones bereft. It's not hard: The pattern is poorly written, but I have a sample to work from...Just a long skinny stocking with chilren in intarsia, then a panel with santa, and then a panel with pine-trees before it becomes a standard stock bottom. What I stand to make from these will pay half a month's rent. AMEN! And, I borrowed a digital camera, soI can finally photograph some of my knit projects. Hoo hoo!
So I am making my first foray into lace and I am at a loss. How do I not do a stitch and carry the yarn with me in the squares that are marked as black boxes?
Hi guys~~~
I did post about the NEW "Warm Winter Exchange" last post!
Dead Line of "Warm Winter Exchange" is Nov 10 on Veterans Day! MAKE SURE SIGN UP for the COOL exchange coming cold winter!!!
INFO and RULEs are in my blog:
I'm looking for a Celtic cable hat pattern...(happy to pay for it)
...I've seen some that have segments with a vertical complicated cable like the enclosed pic... not necesarily a horizontal band of cable...
...does anyone have a link to a source???
My Sock Wars death has arrived. Actually, I traveled to Portland this past weekend and met my killer, Grandcarriage.
Thanks, Bob, for killing me with such handsome gray socks.
For the next 30 days I'm going to go on a knitting fast. It's NaNoWriMo time! I've failed to complete it for the past two years... here's hoping for a new result (a minimal RSI)!
Wore my crazy new handknit socks last night. They are textured all the way around, and you know, I like the sensation of the texture underfoot. They felt fabulous but are a little loose, I could probably knit the same yarn on needles 2 sizes smaller. I think I will felt these a little and see how that does.
I wore the socks that killed me (SOCKWARS) last night to keep my tootsies warm (I am putting off turning on the heat in the flat: My electric bill goes from $28 a month to $128 a month, and that's just with having it on in the evening. OUCH!). They too, are a little too big: Kept falling off. So I have a question for you guys who felt: If you were to do partial felting for size: Would you hand wash it and let it felt in the hot dryer, taking it out and trying on the size as you go?
Hey Everyone!
I am looking for a hat pattern. I have decided that it is time to make myself a hat ... it is getting rather cold here in Maine... but I don't really know what I'm looking for.
What would you suggest?
