There are plenty of reasons why Mike Pence is the best choice for. Vice President for Donald Trump. He is flat honest effective and always has America's best interest at heart.
Well Gov. Pence has a message for the haters:
"I'm pro-life. I don't apologize for it!"
His response came during this weekend on "Fox News Sunday," host Chris Wallace asked Pence about a bill he signed as governor that would prevent women from having an abortion because the fetus had abnormalities.
"We cherish those who have disabilities in the state of Indiana. Taking a step in the direction of protecting the unborn who are facing physical challenges and disabilities — I think that was the right thing to do."
The best part about Mike Pence is that he does not view abortion as a simple political issue like so many Republicans and Democrats do. He genuinely wants to save lives. (H/T –Conservative Tribune)
"I believe in the sanctity of life, and I stand by that principle."

text: The global recovery \"is in danger of skidding off course\", according to the latest Brookings Institution-Financial Times tracking index of the world economy, with growth slowing down sharply amid financial turbulence and policy paralysis. The gloomy prognosis applies across the Group of 20 leading economies, the TIGER index shows, although the slide back towards stagnation is much more prevalent in the advanced world compared with emerging economies. Professor Eswar Prasad of the Brookings Institution said: \"Debt crises, weak employment growth and policy dithering in the major advanced economies have exacerbated global economic uncertainty\", reported the Financial Times Monday. The financial market component of the indicator has been particularly hard hit, reflecting widespread anxiety in markets since the spring and the lack of rapid resolution to the uncertainties hanging over the eurozone and the US debt ceiling. In the US, Prasad said, \"political wrangling and weak employment growth have contributed to declines in business and consumer confidence, with these factors feeding off one another and stunting the recovery\". Across the rest of the advanced world, Japan\'\'s economy has been reeling from the effects of the earthquake and tsunami in March, while even in Germany, the fastest growing advanced economy, employment growth has levelled off and the eurozone crisis has dented business and consumer confidence. The real economies of emerging countries of the G20 have performed better, with China still leading the way with continued rapid growth, punctured only by domestic tensions between high inflation and the desire to promote continued rapid domestic demand. India\'\'s financial sector has slowed, while industrial production growth has also cooled in Brazil. \"Emerging markets may find it difficult to continue being the drivers of global growth for much longer if advanced economies\'\' policies fail to restore their own economic growth and, instead, just add to global financial instability,\" Prasad said. The ambition to restore the rate of growth and the pace of the global recovery to 2010 levels is compromised by the already exceptionally loose monetary policies around the world and the lack of additional firepower in fiscal policy with deficits remaining extremely high. Added to this is the perception in companies and financial markets that advanced economy politicians are unwilling or unable to address the escalating risks of another descent into financial crisis.

This is your resource to discuss support topics with your peers, and learn from each other.
I'm a bit thick when it comes to smartphones so I hope someone can help!
Basically, last night my phone kept typing 'n' and 'm' by non stop by itself whenever I tried typing....and now I can't turn it on or off without taking out the battery. There was a message on the screen that I couldn't budge no matter how many times I clicked ok. On my mobile providers advice I updated my handset and I cannot click ok on my device to accept the terms. No other buttons work such as to take me to camera or BBM. Also I still cannot turn my phone on or off without removing battery. Please help?!
Lisa... Greetings, and welcome to the BlackBerry.com Community Support Forums.
sorry for the troubles.
It sounds like what I have seen multiple times on a device with moisture damage.
Even sitting on a bathroom counter during a hot steamy shower or bath can cause keyboard and trackball problems UNTIL properly dried out. It really is more common than you think.
1. Remove the battery immediately!! Do not attempt to turn on your BlackBerry.
2. Let the device dry in a warm, dry place for 3 to 5 days* (see below)
3. DO NOT "check it each day" by placing the battery in. Leave it be to dry completely. This takes time. Replacing the battery to check it can only damage it more (moisture + electrical current = disaster).
4. If the device is warm after the drying period, allow it to cool to room temperature before placing the battery back in.
Suggestions on drying your BlackBerry in a warm place (open, with the battery out):
*Place the BB in a container of dry UNcooked rice, and then you might also place it in any of the locations mentioned below.
*On top of any dry heat emitting electronic component: TV cabinet or CRT, LCD, cable TV/Satellite converter box or plasma monitor
*On the dashboard of your car on a sunny day

Thank you SO much I really am a bit of dumb blonde sometimes!
My advice.. and I have recovered several devices that have been exposed to moisture, put it in the box or bowl of dry white rice for 4-5 days... I know that's a long time, but it can make a difference of saving it or not.
Leave it there, take the battery, sim and media card out and place in there as well. Don't insert the battery to check it each day, just let it be. and be patient.

I'm snowed in and we have no rice in the cupboard is it acceptable to just leave it on the side everything taken apart?
01-18-2013 12:32 PM - edited 01-18-2013 12:35 PM
Hi PurpleBerries,
U may wanna try these steps ONLY after ur BB is fully dried...might be helpful in ur case...
Note that, this is a 4hr and 15 mins process and throughout the entire 4hr and 15mins process, your BB must remain connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB):
Step 1 - With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
Step 2 - Leave it alone for 2 hours
Step 3 - Remove the battery
Step 4 - Wait 15 minutes
Step 6 - Insert the battery
Step 7 - Wait another 2 hours
This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
Good Luck...

Not a problem.. place the device with battery, SIM and media card aside, on top of a warm spot like your television, a computer monitor or cable/satellite box... you know those things emit DRY heat,... not HOT, but warm.
When you get out, grab that rice.

The President will be holding a press conference in 45 minutes [1000 hrs].
If either of these incidents are traced to Syria there should be a prompt military response.

I thought it was 'weather related'? Are you saying that Syria control the weather? If that's true, we really are in trouble.
Sympathy all round of course.

Designed by S.C Huntingford and built by Cooper Enterprises Ltd in Port Coquitlam "Little Voices" is a fully enclosed centre cockpit, cutter rigged, motor-sailer ideal for exploring the Pacific North West in all weathers.
Large windows in the salon avoid that claustrophobic feel many find in sailboats, while the long ballasted keel and mainsail can help to reduce the rolling motion that inflicts trawler yachts and keeps so many waiting in port. She possesses plenty of storage, and a gentle seagoing manner which makes her easy to single hand. Three heating systems have helped ensure the BC winter is held at bay and made year round cruising a pleasure.
The yacht has been used by the current owners for over 15 years to explore local waters including a circumvention of Vancouver Island. She has been well maintained as can be evidenced by the meticulous records and would make a very comfortable live aboard or long range cruiser.

An ongoing internal investigation has led to the dismissal of three more TTC employees.
After police laid charges last July against a health care store and service provider for it's alleged involvement in a TTC employee benefits fraud case, transit officials have been interviewing employees who have been linked to filing benefit claims involving the health care store.
The investigation reports that several transit employees have been submitting receipts from the health care store where amounts have been inflated as well as claiming reimbursement when no product or services have been received.
Also, there have been further allegations stating that Healthy Fit and the person making the improper claim would then share the benefit money which is paid out by the TTC's insurance provider, Manulife Financial.
Following the opening of the July investigation, the TTC said they anticipated more employee dismissals however no charges have been laid against any TTC employee at this time.
Transit officials also stated that to insure transparency and openness of this serious matter, they will continue to publicly state when further employee dismissals or other significant developments occur.
Since the investigation was launched by Toronto Police, there have been a total of eight transit staff dismissed for their involvement.

Frank Zappa Makes it Tough on Hard-Put Mothers Fans
Clip Job: an excerpt every day from the Voice archives. February 27, 1969, Vol. XIV, No. 20
Riffs by Carman Moore
Mothers fans are the most hard-put, put-upon, and hardy crowd in music. The stresses they're put to are so thorough that, as a group, they are usually split down the middle. The split of course has to do with the split down the middle of thin-framed, heavy-brained music director named Francis Xavier Zappa. His passion is music -- he's thin because of it; he's happy because of it; and he's relatively broke because of it. Zappa likes two kinds of music -- '50s style rhythm and blues and avant garde classical music. So he's a stubborn cat, and he plays '50s r&b and far-out modern, sometimes together and sometimes one at a time, which is where the crack in the fandom occurs.
So your mind is strange and you're young and you dug "Lumpy Gravy" for symphony orchestra, Mothers, and weird dialoguers and you thought Wow there's this new one called "Ruben and the Jets" and you bought it and you're furious because where's the cacophony and where are the pigs and ponies of yesterday and so forth -- so you liked "Rube" and you are at the Fillmore and you've taken your verbal insults and are ready for your r&b and you get it in the form of "The Bacon Fat." You're happy. You even join in on the chorus "dilly, dilly, dillly, dilly, dilly, dilly, dilly, dilly, whomp." Then they're doing a thing called "Charles Ives," and it's very weird. You want to leave but yo told your best girl that you're a Mothers fan.

Zappa was guest lecturer on Friday at 6 p.m., just before the Fillmore concert, at a joint meeting of my History of Popular Music class and Charles Hobson's Afro-American Music class at the New School. The public was invited, as they will be for four other concerts and lectures this semester, and after a few polite moments, they started getting into him with questions about his relationship to the public, the revolutions, and why all the funny stuff. Did he ever think about the possibility of becoming another Mozart? Does he like the Beatles' music? The answers can be heard on a WBAI re-broadcast in a couple of weeks, but I'll reveal that, according to Zappa, he puts all that different kind of stuff in his music because it gives him a kick to hear it and because he likes to laugh. At any rate it was a wild set, and it ended with an audience member's sudden comment, "But you're so human! I thought...."
I had dinner with Frank at the Sing Wu, and Zappa talked about plans for a musical theatre piece which would require him raising a couple hundred-thousand for a stage contraption...a big box with a gross of window shakes, each with a contorted body painted on it, which would be rolled up one at a time while a soprano, standing at mid-box would sing to the band's music. Then there'd be a knee-high, foam-rubber model of an audience at the edge of the stage onto which the singer -- after the shades are all raised -- would hurl herself. Three washing machines and film are also involved. Zappa's head rides off into many directions. But, you know, someday we'll all be sitting at the Fillmore or somewhere, and the above will occur and it'll probably revolutionize rock and roll.
Well, at the Fillmore on Friday night they were out of sight -- or as Zappa would have it, out of the question. If you're one of the people who groove to all music in a fairly intelligent-but-visceral manner the Mothers were storming your soul last weekend. They are probably the best equipped musicians in rock and roll. They can not only play r&b, new classical jazz, and sigh-ka-delic to perfection, but they also create in them. The speed tonguing of the horns in "Uncle Meat" was breathtaking. As usual, Don Preston, the number one keyboard man on the pop scene was raging in his solo on electric piano. The piece grew and swept all before, except of course the Mothers' r&b fan faction. All of the funny stuff -- Motorhead and Roy Estrada screeching, singing opera, and felltiotizing an alto sax -- was on the beat, in the right un-key, and at the psychologically right time in the piece.
It becomes clear, as the years and fads roll on, that Zappa and his big, loud, perfectly disciplined Mothers of Invention are the only group around that you're sure will always be around and running just far enough ahead of their public to keep the listeners annoyed, half satisfied, and crowding into theatres to see where Zappa happens to be a this time.

It is indeed with a very heavy heart that we are posting this, but as you all must be knowing by now, our favorite CyanogenMod have officially decided to call it a day. In case you haven't heard, Cyanogen Inc.is going through some big changes. The company is consolidating all of their efforts to a single Palo Alto office in California in order to better work their future endeavors. But with that also came word that some key personnel will be taking exits. Actually, "some key personnel" would be a vast understatement — Steve Kondik, for whom Cyanogen was a brainchild, is leaving the company. Thankfully, Cyanogen Inc. isn't looking to screw over the development community with this move. While the company will be shutting down their efforts on CyanogenMod (not Cyanogen the OS) at the end of this year, they will make the source code available for anyone who wants to continue building on it. So, of course, a new team arrives to take that task: meet LineageOS. We're not sure where LineageOS will go from here. We know the team consists of some folks from the original CyanogenMod project who either didn't or couldn't join in for the corporate hell ride, but we're not sure who, exactly. We don't even know for sure if Steve Kondik will be joining in, though a Tweet with the hashtag "Lineage" on his timeline seems to suggest as much. In any case, CyanogenMod is gone, and if you want to continue following the spiritual successor to that then here are the accounts you'll want to pay attention to: @LineageAndroid on Twitter Lineage on Facebook +Lineage on Google+ LineageOS.org Source:...Read More

Google starts rolling out a new refreshing UI for the Play Store
Google is known for its regular updates and since the introduction of Pixel, the first ever phone made by Google the company showed off a new Play Store UI in a support video for their flagship device. Now, users are reporting that the new UI is slowly rolling out to devices. This update includes new colors and a revamped install page. The first change you'll notice is on the home page of the Play Store. A new shade of green has taken over for the Android-y shade we're used to seeing. The big featured carousel across the top has been shrunk down and moved underneath the "Apps & Games" bar. However, some screenshots show the carousel has been removed completely. Moving on to the install page, the "Install" button is much bigger. The ratings and installs information looks completely different. They've removed the category icons, which makes it easier to read. The "More Information" section has been moved lower on the page, and developer info has been slightly reworded. All in all, these are simple changes that make the Play Store a little easier to use. So what do you guys think of the new updated interface? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below. Cheers!! Source:...Read More

The next Android OS is called Android 6.0 Marshmallow [Official]
We are just a month away from Google showing off its new Android 6.0 operating system code named Marshmallow. They will do so, with the launch of the two new Nexus devices. One is made by LG (Nexus 5 2015) and its brother will be bigger like the Nexus 6 but built by Huawei. Google had kept a lot of people guessing what their next Android OS will be named, when early this year, Android M as introduced. If the preview builds are to be considered. Android 6.0 Marshmallow brings with it a number of changes, visual and internal. The first thing you will notice when you turn on an Android 6.0 running device is the new boot animation, next you can see that the app launcher has changed, it now comes with a search option which could turn out to be very handy, if you have many app screens. Home screen rotation is finally here (though some app launchers have done this job for us in the past). Also, Quick settings tab can now be arranged. Now talking about internal changes, Android 6.0 will let users give the power to choose which permission you want which app to have. So, if you do not allow an app to use your mic, it wont be allowed to use it. Finger print scanning is also built in the OS's architecture, which means improved finger print scanning in supported devices. Lastly there is a cool new function which lets you decide what notifications to show on the status bar. For example if you always have your bluetooth on, and do not want the icon to take the space then simply remove it. This means a much cleaner looking status bar. Now it is just a matter of waiting until Google shows off the final build of Android 6.0 Marshmallow to the world in...Read More

Cochrane database of systematic reviews (Online) | Year: 2013
Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is the method of choice for obtaining fetal tissue for prenatal diagnosis before 15 weeks of pregnancy. CVS can be performed using either a transabdominal or transcervical approach. The type of instrument and technique used could have a significant impact on the outcome of the procedure. An ability to manoeuvre the instrument within the uterine cavity without puncturing the gestational sac, to see the tip of the instrument on ultrasound scanning and to minimise the number of instrument passes into the uterus are particularly important. To compare the efficacy and safety of different instruments and techniques used to obtain chorionic tissue in early pregnancy by the transabdominal or transcervical route. Primary outcomes included failure to obtain an adequate sample (greater than 5 mg of chorionic villi), need for reinsertion of the instrument, pain, and miscarriage following the procedure. Secondary outcomes included mean weight of tissue obtained, successful culture, difficult instrument insertion, poor visualisation of instrument, vaginal bleeding following the procedure and cost per procedure. We searched the Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth Group's Trials Register (31 August 2012). Randomised trials comparing different instruments (forceps, cannula, needle) or techniques for CVS using either transabdominal or transcervical approach. Two review authors assessed eligibility and trial quality. For transcervical CVS, forceps and cannulae were evaluated in five trials involving 472 women. When a cannula was used, operators failed to obtain an adequate sample (greater than 5 mg of chorionic villi) more often (average risk ratio (RR) 3.81; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.52 to 9.56). There was no difference in the need for reinsertion of instruments (average RR 2.44; 95% CI 0.83 to 7.20). However, inserting a cannula was more painful (RR 1.93; 95% CI 1.11 to 3.37). There was no difference in spontaneous miscarriage when the use of a cannula was compared with biopsy forceps (RR 1.00; 95% CI 0.14 to 6.96). One study reported the cost of the procedures and found CVS with a cannula to be more expensive (mean difference (MD) $183.7; 95% CI 152.62 to 214.78).When different types of cannulae for transcervical CVS were compared, a Portex cannula was more likely to result in an inadequate sample (RR 2.23; 95% CI 1.25 to 3.98) compared with the silver cannula and to result in a difficult (RR 3.26; 95% CI 1.38 to 7.67) or painful (RR 5.81; 95% CI 1.41 to 23.88) procedure when compared with the aluminium cannula.For transabdominal CVS, two trials comparing different needle techniques were included involving 285 women. One study using an ex vivo system of term placentae was excluded. The included trials compared different continuous negative pressure aspiration techniques with a discontinuous negative pressure system created by a syringe attached to a 20 gauge needle. The studies produced discrepant results. One study found there was no significant difference between groups in the mean weight of chorionic villi obtained (MD 0.40; 95% CI -2.25 to 3.05) or in failure to obtain an adequate sample (more than 5 mg of chorionic villi) on the first attempt (RR 1.02; 95% CI 0.54 to 1.93), whereas the other study found both of these outcomes to be significantly less favourable with the standard discontinuous technique using a syringe (mean weight of chorionic villi obtained: MD -14.80; 95% CI -21.71 to -7.89; failure to obtain an adequate sample on the first attempt: RR 2.73; 95% CI 1.08 to 6.92). There was no difference in rate of miscarriage following the procedure in either study (RR 7.15; 95% CI 0.37 to 136.50; RR 2.93; 95% CI 0.12 to 70.00). Perceived pain by the patient was similar between groups (MD 0.00; 95% CI -0.04 to 0.04) as was success of culture (no failed cases). For transcervical CVS, although there is some evidence to support the use of small forceps instead of cannulae, the evidence is not strong enough to support change in practice for clinicians who have become familiar with a particular technique. For transabdominal CVS, based on current evidence, there is no difference in clinically important outcomes with the use of a continuous compared with a discontinuous negative pressure needle aspiration system.

Confidence in Performing Normal Vaginal Delivery in the Obstetrics Clerkship: A Randomized Trial of Two Simulators

Objective: To compare clerkship medical students' confidence in performing a simulated normal vaginal delivery (NVD) after participating in a simulation training session using two different models. Methods:: Medical students were randomized to participate in a simulated NVD session using either an obstetrics mannequin or a birthing pelvis model. Questionnaires were used to assess confidence and evaluate the simulation before and immediately after the session and on the last day of the obstetrics clerkship rotation. Results:: One hundred ten students were randomized. At the start of the clerkship, both groups had similar obstetrics exposure and confidence levels. Only 15 students (13.9%) agreed they were ready to attempt a NVD with minimal supervision or independently. This increased significantly to 43 students (39.4%) immediately after the session. At the end of the clerkship, 79 of 81 responding students (97.5%) were confident that they could attempt a NVD with minimal supervision or independently. There were no significant differences noted between simulator groups at any point. The sessions were rated as equally useful and realistic, and this remained unchanged at the end of the clerkship. Conclusion:: Simulated NVD training using either an obstetrics mannequin or a birthing pelvis model provides clerkship students with a positive experience and increases confidence immediately. It should be implemented early in the rotation, as it appears the clerkship experience also plays a large role in terms of students' confidence. Despite this, students maintain this type of learning is useful. Effective simulation training can easily be incorporated into clerkship training. © 2014 Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada. Source
Food choices and practices during pregnancy of immigrant and Aboriginal women in Canada: A study protocol

Background: Facilitating the provision of appropriate health care for immigrant and Aboriginal populations in Canada is critical for maximizing health potential and well-being. Numerous reports describe heightened risks of poor maternal and birth outcomes for immigrant and Aboriginal women. Many of these outcomes may relate to food consumption/practices and thus may be obviated through provision of resources which suit the women's ethnocultural preferences. This project aims to understand ethnocultural food and health practices of Aboriginal and immigrant women, and how these intersect with respect to the legacy of Aboriginal colonialism and to the social contexts of cultural adaptation and adjustment of immigrants. The findings will inform the development of visual tools for health promotion by practitioners.Methods/Design: This four-phase study employs a case study design allowing for multiple means of data collection and different units of analysis. Phase 1 consists of a scoping review of the literature. Phases 2 and 3 incorporate pictorial representations of food choices (photovoice in Phase 2) with semi-structured photo-elicited interviews (in Phase 3). The findings from Phases 1-3 and consultations with key stakeholders will generate key understandings for Phase 4, the production of culturally appropriate visual tools. For the scoping review, an emerging methodological framework will be utilized in addition to systematic review guidelines. A research librarian will assist with the search strategy and retrieval of literature. For Phases 2 and 3, recruitment of 20-24 women will be facilitated by team member affiliations at perinatal clinics in one of the city's most diverse neighbourhoods. The interviews will reveal culturally normative practices surrounding maternal food choices and consumption, including how women negotiate these practices within their own worldview and experiences. A structured and comprehensive integrated knowledge translation plan has been formulated.Discussion: The findings of this study will provide practitioners with an understanding of the cultural differences that affect women's dietary choices during maternity. We expect that the developed resources will be of immediate use within the women's units and will enhance counseling efforts. Wide dissemination of outputs may have a greater long term impact in the primary and secondary prevention of these high risk conditions. © 2011 Higginbottom et al; licensee BioMed Central Ltd. Source

Objectives: To describe practice patterns with hormone therapy (HT) in women after a surgical menopause and to describe their experience of hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms. Methods: This was a cross-sectional chart-review with telephone follow up interview of women between the ages of 20 and 50 years who had a hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) before menopause at an academic teaching facility in Edmonton, Canada between December 1, 2006 and November 30, 2007. Results: Seventy women were interviewed. Mean respondents age at surgery was 44.3 (±5.2) years and mean time since surgery was 10.2 (±3.8) months. Twenty-eight women (40%) were started on HT after surgical menopause; 23 (33%) were still taking HT at the time of the interview. Estrogen therapy (ET) was the only HT prescribed in all instances, with over half the women on transdermal estrogen at time of the interview and 70% on ET doses equivalent to 0.625 mg conjugated estrogens. Women not taking HT were more likely to experience daily hot flashes (74% vs 30%, p = 0.006) and to classify them as moderate or severe intensity (57% vs 47%, p = 0.033). Night sweats and difficulty sleeping were reported equally in both groups. Conclusions: Over 2/3rd of women were not on HT after a surgical menopause and many of these women were still having daily hot flashes. Targeted patient education prior to surgery or at discharge may help improve the management of menopausal symptoms and long term health consequences in women after a surgical menopause. © 2011 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
