Mother-to-child transmission of HIV and its predictors among HIV-exposed infants at a PMTCT clinic in northwest Ethiopia
Disease epidemiology - infectious
Mother-to-child transmission of HIV (MTCT) accounts for more than 90% of pediatric Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) cases. Prevention of mother to child transmission (PMTCT) programs are provided for dual benefits i.e. prevention of HIV transmission from mother to child and enrolment of infected pregnant women and their families into antiretroviral treatment (ART). This study assessed risk and predictors of HIV transmission among HIV-exposed infants on follow up at a PMTCT clinic in a referral hospital.
Institution based retrospective follow up study was carried at Gondar University referral hospital PMTCT clinic. All eligible records of HIV-exposed infants enrolled between September 2005 and July 2011 were included. A midwife nurse collected data using a structured data extraction format. Data were then entered in to EPI INFO Version 3.5.1 statistical software and analyzed by SPSS version 20.0. Both bivariate and multivariate analyses were carried out to identify associations.
A total of 509 infant records were included in the analysis. The median age of infants at enrolment to follow up was 6 weeks (inter quartile range [IQR] = 2 weeks). A total of 51(10%, 95% CI: 7.8% - 13%) infants were infected with HIV. Late enrolment to the exposed infant follow up clinic (Adjusted Odds Ratio [AOR] = 2.89, 95% CI: 1.35, 6.21), rural residence (AOR = 5.05, 95% CI: 2.34, 10.9), home delivery (AOR = 2.82, 95% CI: 1.2, 6.64), absence of maternal PMTCT interventions (AOR = 5.02, 95% CI: 2.43, 10.4) and mixed infant feeding practices (AOR = 4.18, 95% CI: 1.59, 10.99) were significantly and independently associated with maternal to child transmission of HIV in this study.
There is a high risk of MTCT of HIV among exposed infants on follow up at the PMTCT clinic of the University of Gondar referral hospital. The findings of this study will provide valuable information for policy makers to enhance commitment and support for rural settings in the PMTCT scaling-up program.
The HIV pandemic created an enormous challenge to the survival of humankind worldwide. At the end of 2011, an estimated 34 million people were living with HIV globally. There was 2.5 million new HIV infections, including 330, 000 among children less than 15 years. The annual number of people dying from AIDS-related causes worldwide is steadily decreasing. In 2011, 1.7 million people worldwide died from AIDS related causes, down 24% from the peak in 2005
Besides the dominant heterosexual transmission, vertical HIV transmission from mother to child accounts for more than 90% of paediatric AIDS. PMTCT programs provide for both prevention of HIV transmission from mother to child and enrolment of infected pregnant women and their families into antiretroviral treatment (ART). It is undertaken by the government of Ethiopia in an effort to mitigate the impacts of the epidemic in the general population and amongst children in particular. The availability and use of short-course antiretroviral (ARV) prophylaxis-a safe and well-tolerated regimen-can contribute significantly to PMTCT during childbirth
Ethiopia is one of the countries most severely hit by the epidemic. According to Ethiopian demographic and health survey 2011, the national adult HIV prevalence is reported to be 1.5% (4.2% in urban and 0.6% in rural areas)
Ethiopia has adopted the World Health Organization (WHO) four pronged PMTCT strategy as a key entry point to HIV care for women, men and families. These are: primary prevention of HIV infection, prevention of unintended pregnancies among HIV-infected women, prevention of HIV transmission from HIV-infected women to their offspring, provision of care and support to women infected with HIV, their infants and families
Although there are reports on the effectiveness and outcomes of PMTCT from many countries, there are limited studies conducted in Ethiopia to assess the risk of HIV transmission and its predictors among exposed infants. One retrospective study conducted in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, showed 11.8% HIV prevalence among exposed infants
Institution based retrospective follow up study was carried out among infants and mothers who were on follow up at the PMTCT clinic.
Study area and setting
The study was conducted at Gondar University referral hospital PMTCT clinic from March to April 2012. Gondar, situated at 748 km from Addis Ababa, (the Ethiopian capital) has about a total population of 207, 044 (in 2007). The hospital is located in Gondar city, Amhara National Regional State, northwest Ethiopia. It is one of oldest health institutions in northwest Ethiopia, which is the referral centre for four district hospitals in the area providing service for over 5 million people in the catchment area. Apart from other services, the hospital is providing HIV chronic care including PMTCT services for clients since 2005 as one component of comprehensive HIV/AIDS care and support program.
Study population
All records of HIV-exposed infants enrolled between September 2005 and July 2011 at the PMTCT clinic of Gondar University referral hospital were included in this study. The records of infants transferred in from other sites were excluded.
Follow up of HIV-positive mothers and their infants in northwest Ethiopia
PMTCT protocols were based on WHO guidelines evolved over the duration of the study period in response to changing international guidelines and newly available information. Throughout the course of the program, women who were eligible for HIV treatment based on their own clinical and immunologic status received combination ART.
According to the guidelines, follow up schedule of infants born to HIV-positive mothers is: at 6 hours after birth, 6th day and then at the 6th, 10th and 14th week of life. Thereafter, it is on monthly basis until 6th month of age and every 3 months until age of 18 months for asymptomatic infants. However, children were followed for variable periods of time as their HIV infection status may be declared at different times. Cotrimoxazole prophylaxis is usually started when the infant is aged 4–6 weeks. HIV testing of infants born to HIV-positive mothers was according to the guidelines for PMTCT of HIV in Ethiopia
Operational definitions
ARV prophylaxis
Short term use of ARV drugs in the mother and/or infant to reduce MTCT
Data collection and management
Data on socio-demographic information, birth weight of the infant, infant prophylaxis, maternal PMTCT interventions, HIV test result and related interventions were collected using a structured data collection format. The format was pretested at Gondar health center on twenty records and improved accordingly. Data were collected by a midwife nurse who works at the PMTCT clinic of the hospital. Data were then checked, coded and entered in to EPI info version 3.5.1 version and analyzed by SPSS version 20.0. Most of the variables were fitted to the bivariate logistic regression. Then all variables having p value ≤ 0.2 in the bivariate analysis were further entered into multivariate logistic regression model. Backward Logistic Regression (LR) method was employed and variables having p value < 0.05 were taken as significant predictors. Crude and adjusted odds ratios with their 95% confidence intervals were calculated.
Ethical considerations
Ethical clearance was obtained from Institutional Review Board of the University of Gondar. Permission letter was obtained from the hospital administration. As this was a retrospective study using secondary data, informed consent from individual patients was not possible. Names and medical registration numbers of patients were not included in the study.
A total of 521 mother-infant pairs were enrolled in to the PMTCT clinic during the study period. Among these, 509 records were included in the final analysis. Twelve records were incomplete and excluded. The median age at enrolment to HIV-exposed infant follow up clinic was 6 weeks (IQR = 2 weeks). Nearly half (51.7%) of them were males and majority (83.3%) were from urban areas. Three hundred sixty eight (81.2%) of the mothers were enrolled to ART clinic. However, 92(18.1%) mothers did not receive any PMTCT interventions during pregnancy and child birth. Majority (90.4%) of the exposed infants were born at a health institution. Almost all (97.8%) mothers were alive when infants started follow up and majority (85.1%) of the infants took ARV prophylaxis at birth (Table
At enrollment, most (78.8%) infants were on exclusive breast feeding, 67(13.3%) on exclusive replacement feeding, while the rest 40(7.9%) were on mixed feeding. Forty three (8.4%) infants had diagnosis suggestive of HIV infection. The most common diagnosis was Pneumonia/Lower respiratory tract infections, followed by persistent diarrhea and hepato-spleenomegaly. More than three quarters (80.5%) of the infants started cotrimoxazole prophylaxis at enrolment.
Risk of maternal to child HIV transmission
Of all 509 infants, 51(10%, 95% CI: 7.8% - 13%) were HIV-infected. Most were diagnosed by both DNA/PCR at their six week of age and rapid antibody test at a later age. Among those HIV positive after PMTCT follow up, most were from rural than urban (28.2% Vs 6.4%) residence.
Predictors of maternal to child HIV transmission
As clearly depicted on the multivariate logistic regression, late enrolment to the exposed infant follow up clinic, rural residence, delivery at home, absence of maternal PMTCT intervention and mixed infant feeding practices were significantly and independently associated with maternal to child HIV transmission. However, sex, maternal status (living or dead) and infant baseline cotrimoxazole prophylaxis were not significantly associated with MTCT.
Accordingly, infants who started follow up after six weeks of age were at a 2.89 (AOR = 2.89, 95% CI: 1.35, 6.21) times higher risk of MTCT as compared to their counterparts. Infants of rural dwelling mothers were at a 5.05 (AOR = 5.05, 95% CI: 2.34, 10.9) times higher risk of vertical HIV transmission as compared to urban dwelling mothers. Infants delivered at home had 2.82 (AOR = 2.82, 95% CI: 1.2, 6.64) times higher risk of MTCT compared to those delivered at health institution. If the mother did not receive any form of PMTCT intervention during pregnancy or child birth there is a fivefold (AOR = 5.02, 95% CI: 2.43, 10.4) risk of MTCT as compared to at least one form of PMTCT intervention. Mixed feeding was also another important predictor in which the risk of MTCT was about four (AOR = 4.18, 95% CI: 1.59, 10.99) times higher as compared to exclusive breastfed (Table
Prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV-1 is a major public health challenge in many resource-poor countries including Ethiopia. This study was based on a retrospective analysis of data from a routine PMTCT program in a referral hospital. According to this study, among HIV-exposed infants on follow up at the PMTCT clinic of Gondar University referral hospital, one-tenth of HIV-exposed infants got HIV-infected. We included only those infants whose mothers were tested HIV-positive and followed up until the infant's HIV status was confirmed.
Compared to high income countries (<2%)
Factor that put an infant to a higher risk of HIV transmission were; late enrolment to the follow up clinic, rural residence, home delivery, absence of maternal PMTCT interventions and mixed infant feeding practices. The reasons for the high relevance of these factors could be overlapping to one another. Firstly, infants born from rural mothers are prone for mixed feeding. Secondly, rural mothers are less likely to screen and enroll themselves to antenatal care or health institution delivery and thereby less likely to benefit from PMTCT interventions. As a result many women in resource-poor countries do not have access to prenatal care and often present with infection lately
Similar to studies done so far in different corners of the world
As we used secondary data from a PMTCT clinic, it was difficult to control for inconsistencies and missing values. Maternal HIV-1 viral load and duration of disease and child's vaccine status were not systematically recorded and could not be taken into account. This study did not aim to differentiate when MTCT occurred i.e. pre-partum, intra-partum or post partum period. The fact that all potential factors were not included and assessed may affect generalization of predictors in this study. Despite these limitations, to the best of our knowledge, this study presented primary results of the effectiveness of routine PMTCT interventions in Gondar University referral hospital.
There is a high risk of MTCT of HIV among exposed infants on follow up at the PMTCT clinic of the University of Gondar referral hospital. The risk of MTCT of HIV was higher among those from rural areas, enrolled after six weeks of age, had no maternal PMTCT intervention, delivered at home and mixed fed infants. The findings of this study will provide valuable information for policy makers in the PMTCT scaling-up program to focus on rural settings.

The station's audience has slumped by nearly a million since the start of 1999, and its market share has fallen by nearly a third to 2.4 per cent. As a result of the slump in national advertising, analysts expect operating profits for 2001 to be around £12 million, about 20 per cent down on the previous year. On top of all that, Evans - who sold his Ginger Media Group (including Virgin) to the Scottish Media Group for £225 million two years ago - is suing his old bosses for £8.6 million compensation for lost share issues.
So did Penk jump or was he pushed?
He had only just joined Virgin from Capital when he was transferred from drivetime to breakfast in the aftermath of Evans's departure-When the audience failed to respond - the latest listening figures are published tomorrow - Virgin acted with familiar speed and ruthlessness. Harriet Scott was installed as his co-host; Penk disagreed with the changes and quit. Negotiations continue between the station and the DJ, who has been offered back his drivetime slot.
It is this ruthlessness, say Virgin's critics, that lies behind its inability to build a more stable and loyal audience. "Virgin is a hungry commercial animal," says former breakfast-show producer Richard Kilgarriff, now in charge of Cartoon Network in the UK. "It is good at bringing in on-air talent, but not very good at keeping it."
A former presenter adds: "They don't let anything bed down. Its programming and music policy is always chopping and changing."
The same is true of its programming executives. Virgin chief executive John Pearson is becoming the radio equivalent of Aston Villa's Doug Ellis: he has had at least eight programme directors so far. During the same period, Radio 1 has had just two controllers, Matthew Bannister and Andy Parfitt. Virgin's longest-serving programme chief, Mark Story, now in charge of Emap Radio, says of the Penk episode: "Steve is a nice guy and a very good DJ, but his breakfast show didn't have enough quality control."
The breakfast show isn't the only part of Virgin being reinvented. Programme director Paul Jackson has also announced a "no repeat workday" policy in which no song is played twice between 9am and 5pm on weekdays. A similar scheme was introduced by Jackson when he was at Capital's Century Radio, although it has since been abandoned.
Jackson, seven months into the job, says he is now close to finalising his ideal Virgin line-up.
Penk has been replaced by national newcomer Daryl Denham, who only joined Virgin this month. It is the station's fourth line-up in eight months in the key morning slot. Jackson has also raided the Capital Group for late-night DJ Jezza, who will host a talk-heavy late-night slot. "If you ask people on the street about Virgin Radio, they still say Chris Evans," Jackson explains. "We are reinventing ourselves completely. Daryl Denham has got a great pedigree and is exactly what we are after. I am very much for giving a chance to fresh, young talented people who are hungry.
"I am confident we have got the right people now. We are not making changes for change's sake, and we now have to be more consistent. If we are still making changes in a year's time we are never going to get it."
The key for Jackson will be whether local radio stars such as Sony Award-winning Denham - recruited from Birmingham's Heart 100.7FM - prove more successful than Penk in pulling in listeners nationally. Will Jackson get the time to find out? "Programme directors these days have the lifespan of a thirddivision football manager," argues one commercial-radio executive. "You have got to turn things round quickly or you are out on your ear." For Jackson and Virgin Radio, the really hard work starts now.

Reviews for this host's other properties
the apartment was nice . what was minus was that the drain in the bathroom sink was clogged, drain the same bathroom in the shower was almost clogged. in one bedroom was doorframe broken and loose when we came . Apart from this , we will be happy again .
We were 7 persons staying 5 days in Rome. The apartment was perfect for us, spacious and well equipped. It was very quite with no trafikk noise and the location was perfect, walking distance from many atractions and Bernini metro stadion very close.
Very nice apartment, small but stylish, very well organized and extremely friendly check in person, everything fine!! Very recommendable.
Even Colosseum within walking distance, nice restaurant district round the corner.
Thank you Daniela and staff!
The location of the apartment we thought was good. Adjacent to the big sights (Coloseum etc.), the others are good on foot to reach, yet the apartment is in a quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed the terrace and the view over the rooftops of Rome very. The bar opposite can be good and quick breakfast, also good restaurants it has in close proximity. Especially recommended is the Cafe propaganda.
The apartment corresponds to the tender and it had air conditioning which we were very happy. The check-in and check-out has smoothly functioning as well as the taxi service from and to the airport.
Die Lage der Wohnung empfanden wir als gut. Angrenzend zu den grossen Sehenswürdigkeiten (Coloseum etc.), die anderen sind gut zu Fuss zu erreichen und dennoch liegt die Wohnung in einem ruhigen Quartier. Wir haben die Terasse und die Sicht über die Dächer Roms sehr genossen. An der Bar gegenüber kann man gut und schnell Frühstücken, auch gute Restaurants hat es in nächster Nähe. Speziell zu empfehlen ist das Cafe Propaganda.
Die Wohnung entspricht der Ausschreibung und sie hatte eine Klimaanlage über die wir sehr froh waren. Das Check-In und Check-Out hat reibungslos funktioniert wie auch der Taxiservice vom bzw. zum Flughafen.
Our group of seven family members stayed in this property about two weeks ago. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The apartment was very large and easily accommodated our group. It was very clean, and the wine and cake provided on our arrival were most appreciated. The apartment was only a few blocks from the Termini station and so was an easy walk for us. It was also not very far from Rome's major historic attractions. It is ideal for a large group. I would stay here again in a heartbeat if we were travelling in a large group to Rome.
Staying in Rome great ar. The apartment was great, it was clean, well maintained and in wonderful central location, so we were able to experience Rome well from this location. The transport service was impeccable and the correspondence before the trip was very personal, so we felt always very well looked after. Apartment and I can recommend without reservation providers
Der Aufenthalt in Rom ar toll. Die Wohnung war super, sie war sauber, gepflegt und in wunderbar zentraler Lage, so dass wir Rom von diesem Standort aus gut erleben konnten. Der Transportservice war tadellos und die Korrespondenz vor der Reise war sehr persönlich, so dass wir uns stets ausgesprochen gut betreut fühlten. Wohnung und Anbieter kann ich vorbehaltlos empfehlen
What a great stay!! Fine apartment with beautiful roof terrace with plenty of space, however, we feel that the apartment was just small enough to 9 people. We were 6 girlfriends and it was adequate. There was one large sheet for each double bed and if you are not lovers, this is not good; we had wished that there had been one sheet per person. Booking company, hostess and apartment can be recommended, very good contact all the way from order to arrival / departure. Fine agreement with the pick-up taxi to and from the airport. We could stay there again; just 2 minutes from the Spanish Steps. Thank you for the stay and the experience ..
(not recommended for people with walking difficulties, there are many stairs up to the penthouse - however, elevator to the 3rd floor) ...

"A Very PG Rock Star Romance "
This was a very sweet love story that focused less on the rock star and more on the romance. It didn't delve to deep into the life of the rock star like most traditional books so if you're looking for that look elsewhere. This is also a very PG book so of your looking for something a little more steamy, also look elsewhere. This is just a cute sweet simple love story. Worth a listen.
"Love her!"
This author never disappoints! This was another great book read by a great narrator. I do recommend it!
"The rock star and the artist -- ROCK!!"
Really enjoyed this book! It was fun and romantic and yes, it's quite sexy. It was SO enjoyable and just what I needed.
Honestly, I was a bit weary going in as I've been surprised in the past with too much sexiness. I love sexy scenes but they have to be done tastefully and they have to add to the story. Julia London definitely delivered.
Argh! I can't express enough how much I enjoyed this story. It was so much fun! I just wish I felt more connected with the characters.
Cristina Panfilio was delightful as a narrator. I loved the different voices she provided each character and she was quite soothing to listen to after a long day of work.
Cheers to an awesome, fun and romantic story!
"Julia london has done it again!"
loved it ! I hope she turns this into one of her series ! love!
"Fantastic narration!"
Narrator made a good story great- male and female. Not sizzling hot but satisfying plot and character development. Worth the purchase !
Yes Great specially for the price
Yes , Will check out other books she is the author
Yes, especially for the price
"Loved it!"
I absolutely loved this story! This was my first contemporary novel by Julia London, I usually read her historicals, but this was just as good. And I loved the narrator! She did an amazing job of infusing her voice with the emotions of the characters and changing her tones enough when characters were having conversations that you could tell who was speaking (a big deal for me in audio books)
"Great Story"
This was a really nice story. it had a great story line, and believable. I liked the author. Definitely lacking the hot and steamy parts but didnt miss it too much because it was a wonderful love story. I really, really liked the narrator Christian Panfilio.
"refreshing love story"
independent creative Mia as the center made this a great read... I look forward to reading more from the author!
"Great story"
I loved the story told. As a romance novel I personally would have like more details in some of the love scenes. So if you're looking for those really detailed love scenes this isn't that but. However, there was enough detail to keep me enthralled with the overall story.

Jan Brewer Vetoes Bill That Would Have Forced Feds to Warn Joe Arpaio (and Other Sheriffs) When They're Doing Their Jobs
It looks like Governor Jan Brewer's only taking her battle against the federal government so far.
Brewer vetoed House Bill 2434 yesterday, which would have required federal law-enforcement officers to notify county sheriffs "before taking any official law enforcement action."
If that federal officer forgot or otherwise didn't inform the sheriff beforehand, they'd have to let the sheriff know shortly after the "official law enforcement action."
"This legislation has the potential to interfere with law enforcement investigations and adds unneeded reporting requirements for law enforcement," Brewer writes in a veto letter. "Rather than hinder the efforts of our federal law enforcement colleagues, we need to focus on collaboration."

That doesn't even sound like the same governor who sent a finger to the face of the president in January.
The Tenth Amendment Center, obviously a proponent of states' rights, was among the proponents of the bill.
"This bill may appear insignificant, but it does two important things," the group wrote in one of its newsletters. "First, it serves notice to the federal government that its authorities operate in Arizona with oversight and reaffirms the sovereignty of the state. Secondly, it puts the county sheriff in the position to protect the rights and liberties of Arizona citizens from federal overreach."
That might sound like it's right up the governor's alley, but she wasn't a fan of this particular piece of legislation.
"For example, the Arizona Counter-Terrorism Intelligence Center brings together local, state and federal law enforcement to jointly fight against terrorism and other serious crimes," Brewer continues in her veto letter. "Establishing arbitrary reporting requirements for our federal partners takes us in the wrong direction."
Representative David Gowan, who introduced the bill via a strike-everything amendment at a committee meeting on March 15, said he was introducing it because the Constitution doesn't describe any powers granted to federal law enforcement.
Gowan cited an example in which Border Patrol got into a gun battle with suspected illegal immigrants, and says the FBI told Border Patrol agents they needed to keep sheriff's deputies out of the situation.
Gowan said his bill didn't have the backing of any of the county sheriffs in Arizona, but noted his example and called it a protection of state sovereignty so citizens can have "all the liberty they can handle."
The bill passed the Senate 20-8, and the House agreed to the bill with a 38-17 vote, but Brewer gave it the "nay" yesterday.

Part One
Rebecca and Rachel turned their backs on Bella Swan. They were sick of her following them about all the time, they did not need anyone but each other. Their father had asked them to play nicely with Chief Swan's daughter as she was only in town for a week visiting. Her parents were divorced and Bella lived with her mother in Phoenix, a dry dusty place, the total opposite to Forks. They babbled away in their own made up language, ignoring the other girl completely. She was only seven and they were big girls of nine.
"Why are you still here?" Rachel turned and stamped her foot in annoyance as she saw the skinny pale faced girl still standing rooted to the spot.
"Daddy said I had to stay with you." Bella yanked on the ends of her long brown hair nervously.
"Well we don't want you here, just go and play by yourself." Rebecca sneered disdainfully. She took her twin's hand and ran into the house.
Bella felt warm tears roll down her cheeks. She wished she was still back in Phoenix with her mommy. She shuffled away from the house, her head hanging down and her hair hiding her face. Rain began to drip down from the sky and she was soon soaked to the skin, her hair hanging in tendrils round her face. It was like the sky was crying for her, all Bella Swan had done for the last twenty four hours since arriving to stay with her dad was cry.
She wandered aimlessly, not caring where she was headed. The sky darkened overhead and the rain really began to pelt down. Bella searched around for somewhere to take shelter and she saw the edge of the forest looming near. She ran as fast as she could and finally reached the overhanging leaves. Crouching down she pressed her back against the trunk of one of the trees and put her arms around her body, seeking warmth.
Ten minutes passed and Bella's body began to shake with the cold. The rain had turned into a torrential downpour and the tree no longer provided enough cover for Bella, she was drenched from head to toe. More tears poured forth as she curled up into a foetal position and rocked slowly, trying to put some heat back into her frozen body. She was so absorbed in her attempts to keep warm that Bella did not hear the pitter patter of paws on the forest floor.
The small russet brown wolf, which was no bigger than an average size dog, stopped. It sniffed the air with a quivering nose and inhaled the scent of ripe strawberries. Its tail, which had been drooping, suddenly rose in the air and the wolf trotted in the direction of the interesting aroma. Its ears perked forward and listened carefully as the sound of weeping assailed its sensitive ears. Carefully stepping through the undergrowth the small wolf crept silently toward the noise. It poked its head out of some leaves and finally located the source. A small, pale looking girl was lying curled up on the dirt floor of the forest. She was shaking as the cold pierced her body. The wolf never felt the cold.
Bella was brought out of her stupor by a yapping noise. It started off quietly and then increased in volume. She raised her head and her eyes met those of a small wolf, it wagged its stumpy tail and to her astonishment licked her face enthusiastically.
"Eeeeww...stop that." Bella sat up and gazed at the small wolf. It continued to wag its tail and its tongue lolled out as it gave her a big grin.
Bella knew that she should feel scared of the small wolf but really it was so sweet and incredibly friendly. Her tears were forgotten as she watched in amazement as the wolf sat down beside her and curled its warm body round her frozen one. The heat pouring from the wolf's body seeped through Bella's skin right to her bones. She nestled closer to the dense fur and ran her hands through the rough strands. The wolf actually made a rumbling noise and Bella thought it sounded rather like a cat's purr when it was feeling contented. She smiled to herself as she continued to caress the wolf's thick pelt.
Bella became so comfortable snuggled next to the wolf that her eyes became heavy and she drifted off into a deep sleep. The wolf felt her body relax against his and he opened his jaws in a wide yawn. He too felt tired and he placed his head next to hers and closed his eyes in contentment.
Billy Black found Bella curled up next to his son. Charlie Swan had been frantic when the twins had finally revealed that they had dumped Bella and gone off to play by themselves. They could find no trace of his small daughter and so he and Billy had decided to search for her themselves. Sarah Black had been extremely angry with the young girls and remonstrated with them fiercely.
Billy approached the two youngsters cautiously. He knew that Jacob had not even realised that he had phased back to his human form. Everyone in the tribe who was in the know had been shocked when Jacob Black had phased into a wolf at the age of five. His father had been reprimanding him for throwing water over his older siblings when he saw the young boys outline blur and within seconds a small russet coloured wolf stood trembling before him. Every other tribe member who knew about the spirit wolves began watching their young children in fear, which one of them would be next? Thankfully Jacob had been the only one.
Sometimes Billy was shocked at how easily his son had accepted this other side to himself. Maybe because he was so young he was able to adapt better. The young boy had been in much need of guidance however and Billy took pride in talking things through with his son. Weeks passed and Jacob would turn wolf and leave the house and go missing for hours at a time. His mother Sarah was finding it hard to comprehend that her youngest child was destined for such a future. Would he always be alone? Cursed with the misfortune of turning into a wolf as soon as he lost his temper, how would he ever be able to maintain a normal human relationship?
"Jake you need to wake up..." Billy's soft voice carried through the air. He watched as Jacob sat up and yawned widely, his chin length black hair was matted to his head and he rubbed his eyes sleepily.
"Hey son, look you need to go back to the house before Bella wakes up, she might be a bit shocked to see you next to her instead of the wolf. You shouldn't have let her see that Jake, I did tell you it must be a secret."
Jacob's full lips turned down into a pout. He had just been trying to make a friend and the girl seemed nice, she hadn't been scared or upset. "Girlie was cold, she liked me. I heard her say so."
Billy sighed and hunkered down in front of his son. "Her name's Bella Jake, she is nice but maybe she will think it was just a dream when she wakes. Come back to the house and get dressed, perhaps you can be her friend in your human form huh? That would be better wouldn't it?"
Jacob frowned as he mulled over his dad's words, after a moment his expression brightened. "Yeah...I am gonna show her my treasures..."
Billy smiled and helped his son to his feet. "Good idea, you go on ahead and I will carry Bella back to the house."
Jacob gave his dad one of his big toothy grins and ran off toward the little red house.
Bella opened her eyes expecting to see a small wolf but instead she was lying on the Black's old sofa. Tears pricked at her eyes as she realised the so called wolf she had seen did not exist. She had been so sure it was real, she remembered the rough feel of its beautiful fur and the warm feeling that had surrounded her when it chased away the cold. Her recollection seemed so vivid that in her heart she knew that the wolf did exist.
"I will find you again wolfie I will." Bella made a silent vow to herself. She was interrupted from her thoughts by a nudge on the arm. She turned her head irritably to find the Black's son standing in front of her holding a box.
"Wanna see my treasures girlie?" The boy asked her with a big grin.
"Not really...Jack is it?" Bella scrunched up her forehead trying to remember his name.
"NO it's Jacob...you're a bit stupid aren't you girlie." Jacob shoved the box next to Bella on the sofa, causing her to shift over to make room. "I don't mind though. My sisters are stupid too, but I'll still play with you."
Bella was so taken aback by his little speech that she became lost for words. Instead she watched as he rummaged through the box and brought out some old rocks and dumped them on her lap.
"What are these?" Bella asked curiously once she had recovered her voice.
"Rocks...magic rocks girlie." Jacob announced proudly.
"My name is not girlie it's Bella." She picked up one of the rocks and examined it. The shape and colour was rather unusual.
"Okay then Bells..." Jacob pulled out more knickknacks, an old feather and some screws.
"It's Bella...not Bells." Bella said mutinously.
"Well if you are going to call me Bells than I am going to call you Jake." Bella declared, crossing her arms and glaring at him.
Jake looked at her as if she was mad. Everyone shortened his name to Jake, but if it kept her happy. "Okay Bells...you can call me Jake. Wanna play outside now?"
"It's raining..."
"Nah...Sun is out. Come on we can find more pretty rocks. You can have one if you aren't stupid."
"Will you stop calling me stupid?"
"All girls are stupid, my friend Quil said so. Rach and Beck are stupid, Leah Clearwater is stupid. My mom isn't though, she is way clever. She tells Rach and Beck off when they're mean."Jacob smiled at the memory of his sisters being sent to their room on the numerous occasions they had picked on him.
Even though Bella was annoyed at being called stupid, she had to agree with the rest of Jake's words."Yeah...you're sisters are stupid, but I am not."
Jacob shrugged. He was tired of talking about his sisters. "Are we gonna play outside or not?"
"Alright...Jake can I have this feather?"
Jacob stared at the large feather that was one of his most prized possessions. It had been a gift from the tribal elders to the young son of the Chief. He watched as Bells wound the feather into her hair. It did look rather pretty. "Okay...but only for today."
Bella smiled shyly at him and jumped off of the sofa. Jacob took her small hand in his and led her outside into the weak sunshine.
A/N-I know another new story! LOL :)

William Bolton - Bud Light
Artist: William Bolton
Track: Bud Light
Producer: Cro
Album: Summer Breeze
As William Bolton's past Booth features make abundantly clear, the Michigan singer/songwriter and producer is a true connoisseur of pop music, and it's a safe bet that his impeccable taste extends to beverages as well. Even so, he ain't about to turn up his nose at a refreshing Bud Light. On a fresh promo single created "for fun while freestyling with [some] high school friends," the artist formerly known as Times New Roman turns to America's top selling beer for solace as he loses himself in memories of an old flame. Cro provides a soulful chopped-sample groove to accompany his bittersweet reveries. Still thirsty? Then stay tuned; Bud isn't attached to a larger set, but we'll keep you posted on Bolton's plans as further details emerge.

In this age of sophisticated technical information utilized by all major companies, it is hard to understand why information about a specific product cannot be provided by the company.

The Functioning Of a Water Ionizer ApplianceWet Lands
The pH diet regime is often a substantial brand-new for fixing the ph harmony that is essential in the body development.

Alkaline Ionized water may be generated as part of your very own household areas using a best ionizer unit's use which might be being acutely recognized right now. This really is no longer something of a surprise. The escalating number of people know the rewards that the shape is provided to by water. Okay, what exactly precisely does a water ionizer conduct? The water ionizer takes the water from your home tap / touch and goes it via an advanced purification system that'll remove pesticides, chlorine along with other impurities. This water that is prepared may next end up being sent directly into an ionization chamber. Over-positive and negative electrodes, the pre- water is run through this ionization step to separate it into the water in addition to acid.
Any ionizer water equipment in all sorts have two water chambers; one step is full of another ionization chamber is filled up with electrodes as well as good electrodes. The bad wires will attract the constructive minerals (which might be all alkaline) as well as the right electrodes attract negatively charged minerals (or acid nutrients). The minerals are manganese magnesium, calcium and potassium.

The acid vitamins are plastic sulfur, chlorine, fluoride, and copper. Those two chambers of a water ionizer machine employ a distinct membrane between them with tiny holes. These pores are small the water elements can't mix, though the minerals will get through. After the method is finished, there will probably be 30% acid water and approximately 70PERCENT alkaline water. The water comes via the sink, and also, the p water is eliminated straight into the strain.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Big and clean apartment (1st floor of a house), located in a pleasant residential area, in a quite central location to visit LA. The neighborhood is also convenient with the farmers' market, the Grove and many stores.
Perfect for 4 people, even 6 would be possible.
The House is located in a quiet and safe neighborhood and it is strategically situated next to Melrose Avenue with walking distanse to Hollywood Walk of Fame and Beverly Hills. But you need a car in L.A to get around anyway. The house is one of two apartments in a large house and you can hear your neigbours very well, especially if they are a having a party. The house is quite old and needs renovation, f.ex. is the heating system in the living room not reparable - no problem during most of the year, but quite cold during winter time, so the owner had to bring extra owens. The house has limited power capacity, so you have to be careful when you put all electricity on. The house is large an can easily host a family with 6+ and the owner brings extra beds as needed. For shorter stays and also during summer period, the house is probably great to rent.
It was a great experience and a great stay at your place.
I will come again.
spacious and very clean apartment.
Apartment well located in a nice residential area. We will return with pleasure.
appartement spacieux et très propre.
Appartement bien situé dans un joli quartier résidentiel. Nous y retournerons avec plaisir.
It was impossible to contact the owner; she never answered our emails or phone calls. Finally got an email (After wimdu got involved) telling us that the key was in secure box by the door with a code for the box: Hellllo!!! the box was behind a locked screen door , impossible to get it. It took 1 1/2 hrs to sort this out on arrival after a long day in the air. A maintenance man finally open the door for us; we found him in a garage in the backyard. The place was spacious but property was questionnable; there was dust everywhere and it was obvious that the cleaning was done at a minimum.
Apartment cute and great location, no kitchen but microwave fridge coffee machine and toaster solve every problem, complete and functional in every respect, we had a small problem and solving it propritaria we responded immediately to ' instant .... for sure if I return the risceglierei again !!!
Appartamento carinissimo e posizione straordinaria, non c'è la cucina ma il microonde il frigo la macchina del caffè e il tostapane risolvono ogni problema , completo e funzionale sotto ogni aspetto, abbiamo avuto un piccolissimo problema e la propritaria ci ha risposto immediatamente risolvendolo all'istante....di sicuro se dovessi tornare lo risceglierei di nuovo!!!
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
We were given a different house as the photos show, I believe the owner has more than one property in this area.
The house is spacious, the furnitures are old but workable. We arrived after 5pm but the cleaner has just began to clean the house, which wasn't very enjoyable as we had to wait for more than 1 hour to actually check in.
Overall it's alright although there are still lots of things can be simply improved. Good for group of 4 or more to stay.

By DAVE MARTINEZ
Tim Cahill said all the right things during his introductory press conference with the New York Red Bulls, and as he gets set for his anticipated club debut against Tottenham Tuesday night at Red Bull Arena, he is all ears when it comes to working with former Premier League adversary Thierry Henry, his new teammate and captain.
"I've achieved a hell of a lot in my career," Cahill said, "But I also feel that this is a big move for me. I know a lot of people might think otherwise, but I'm 32 years old. I respect MLS, I'm coming here at a good age, I'm fit and I'm ready for a new challenge."
Henry has already been greatly involved in the education of this new challenge. The French striker was delighted last week as news broke of the Everton legend joining the club and was quick to offer a bit of advice to his soon-to-be teammate.
"When I first arrived here, I was stupid enough to play right away and it didn't work. Like (Alessandro) Nesta did, I guess you need a couple of weeks to get yourself ready to get yourself ready to get into this league, especially with the hitters we have around," Henry said. "This is my experience, when I did that it was my mistake. End of the day, if (Cahill) will play, he'll play I guess. Having said that, I know how stupid I was playing straight away. If you ask me to do the same thing, I'd do the same thing. You just want to play right? You want to show why you came, and I guess he wants to show everyone that he's committed. I am going to tell him but I am sure he's going to want to go out there straight away."
True to form, Cahill is ready to jump into the fray. As reported by SBI last week, coach Hans Backe confirmed the Red Bulls newest Designated Player would debut alongside a returning Teemu Tainio in a friendly tilt against Tottenham – much like Henry did two years ago.
"I'm from Australia, so we don't do things in half measures, we just do what we're told," Cahill declared. "For me, this has been crazy since I've been here. I've been on four, five or six flights here and there, fitting training sessions in, sleeping in the afternoon. This is our job, this is something we love doing. I know playing (against Tottenham) might be a bit quick, but I'm here now, I'm feeling fit, I'm feeling good. It might be a bit stupid, or whatever, but that's what we do."
Acknowledging his teammates' warning, Cahill added, "Henry's a professional. His passion in training, his passion the other night in (Montreal), it's what you need. It's something that the other players respect a lot because it helps them be better, and if you don't have that drive and if you don't have that willingness to tell your teammate to do better or to give constructive criticism, you're not going to get better.
"I spent a lot of time with Henry since I've been here and he's been fantastic. He knows what I'm like. I'm looking forward to it, so I'm just going to grab the bull by the horns and run with it."
In that time, Henry, along with several of his new teammates, have been giving Cahill a crash course on the finer points of MLS soccer – from the league format to the fans themselves.
"The thing is, we've been talking about this with the players at dinner the other night," Cahill said, "and they've been teaching me everything and telling me. It's different; it's something that I've got to get used to."
One of the first things that stood out to the Australian midfielder was the poor away records that haunt teams across the league. He compared and contrasted the MLS phenomenon to that of his time at Everton, when playing on the road sometimes was a less stressful venture.
"Speaking to Henry, whether that's a mentality thing or whether it's a thing that naturally happens, because in any other league in the world, those statistics are always quite even," Cahill said. "In Everton we seemed to travel and sometimes play better sometimes with no pressure.
"There are so many different elements that I'm learning about; the way the teams are, and different things about MLS. I suppose it's all about being leaders on the pitch and being one off the pitch. I signed as a Designated Player, but I don't classify myself any differently than the rest of the players. I want them to trust me and to be at ease that on and off the park that I'm a team player.
"I think the one thing about me is I just try and do well on the football pitch and off it. Fans are obviously something that means a lot to me, and I've got to win them over. But you can only do that by playing football. I know that I've got the right drive and passion for the supporters and it's up to me to show them that.
"Henry says it can be tough at times, but it's been tough throughout my career, throughout certain seasons and things like that. I think over the duration of a season and when people get to know me, they'll know what type of character I am and what type of person I am. I'm definitely going to enjoy it and hopefully the fans are too."
I am looking forward to Beckham, Henry, and other DPs retiring so that they will do interviews and talk about what they really felt about the league and what it takes to be successful in MLS. I am very curious to read those things.
Old School
"When I first arrived here, I was stupid enough to play right away…" -Frenchman
"…we don't do things in half measures, we just do what we're told." -Australian
Cahill is coming with the right mentality, right attitude and that along with his ability will prove to be an asset to the league.
When Henry first arrived he seemed hesitant to shoot and his first thought was to set up a teammate…Keane did the same in his early games at LA. What I want to see is these DP players taking charge right away and attacking. Let their teammates clean-up the rebounds….Even Beckham has passed up on shots…For all the above players, this is not EPL….take or create your shots…they win games and that's what your brought in to do….Good signings NY, LA, Montreal……Turn them loose in MLS>
Interesting comment from Cahill about MLS teams' away records. I didn't realize they were that notably dismal compared to the EPL, but it's no secret that away teams are at a disadvantage in this league due to the massive distances between cities. Coming from Australia, the size of the US shouldn't be a huge shock, but I think Cahill is in for an awakening next time NYRB has a road (air) trip.
Henry also said, if he had to to it over again, he'd do the same thing and play.
Sounds great! I'm excited to see the energy and passion he'll bring to the team, but I agree with Henry that it would be better for him to get integrated and get fit rather than jump right in. The team is doing well right now in the playoffs race, that really gives Cahill the flexibility to ease himself in for the upcoming Supporters Shield and MLS Cup pushes.
So, when does the "extend Backe's contract" discussion start? at the end of the season? I would really like to see Soler stay for another number of years as well. I think these two have done a great job in NY, bringing stability, results, a core group of players and improved performances.
Michael Stypulkoski
But keep in mind that the vast majority of Australians live on the eastern seaboard, and that most of the country is the Outback. Only one team in the A-League (Perth) is located on the west coast. So Australia is a bit like Canada and Russia; huge in land area, but most of it is virtually unpopulated. Not to mention that, unless I'm mistaken, Cahill has spent his entire career in England. I don't expect him to be any better-equipped to the travel demands of American sports than any European athlete that comes over.
That's true. I was just referring to his growing up in a massive continent/country. Seems like guys who come from European countries tend to misjudge the size of America. No question, he's never flown 2500 miles for a league game. Everton played in Europa League in '09-'10, but I'm pretty sure the distances around Europe still pale in comparison to JFK>LAX or JFK>YVR (that's Vancouver for you terrestrial types).
I don't think there is a lot of truth to that outside of the big teams (Man U, City, Chelsea, etc.)…the mid-lower level teams struggle to win on the road in the EPL as well. I'm sure an Everton supporter can whip out an EPL road record for them…it won't be positive.
Found it myself on the EPL website…
Everton 19 games played away 5 wins – 8 draws – 6 losses.
+1 for research. So Everton had a 26% win record on the road and earned points in 68% of road games. That's not good. By comparison, the Galaxy won 43% of their road games in 2011, and earned points in 75% of road games.
Then again, Everton finished 7th in the league in 11-12 and LA won the SS in MLS. I'm sure our mid-table MLS teams had similar win ratios as Everton.
This is a great signing for New York. As a Millwall fan, I can say to you that Cahill's character will make him a fan favorite at NY. Millwall fans are notorious for expecting nothing less than 100% work-rate on the field and Cahill excelled at that with his time in SE London and was adored for it. Countless players get run out of town if they ease off at times. He's still fondly remembered as a Millwall great.
Great fit for this league.
lol i thought i was the only one.
Yep. 2500 miles (between JFK and LAX) is a little longer than the distance from Lisbon to Moscow, and a little shorter than the distance between Reykjavik and Istanbul. And with the exception of Kazakh clubs, every club that has ever been involved in any UEFA competition is within 2250 miles of Everton's home ground.
