When your BMW 318ti left the factory, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who values German engineering in their automobile. You purchased your 318ti because its sporty handling and European styling appealed to your senses; so why would you be okay with anything but the best when it comes to superior quality auto parts? BMW vehicle enthusiasts have come to expect a certain level of a reputation for performance when driving their 318ti around town.
Make no mistake, you must have a wholly functioning BMW 318ti gas tank in order to operate safely. Never before has this been more relevant to you, as your gas tank is either leaking, rusted, or both. Due to the fact that it is responsible for holding all the fuel for your BMW 318ti, it is extremely important that you replace any broken or damaged gas tank as soon as possible.

founded by warlord Wang in 918
Korean artisans created pottery covered with a blue-green glaze called celadon. they got the idea of this pottery from the Song dynasty but changed it to make it their own. the koryo dynasty also adopted the chinese methods of typing by using carved wooden blocks to print. this allowed them to create more in a shorter amount of time.

How Do Ye Guys Stick Ribbon Onto Your Cake Boards ?
Decorating By skinnyminx Updated 1 Sep 2010 , 1:29pm by hsmomma
i usually cover my cake boards on with fondant and then trim, with ribbon but i always have bother getting it to stick ive tried a good few non toxic glues but the dont set or stick i also have put a drawing pin in at the back but that only holds it in that spot and doesnt look to profesional... any ideas?? or how to ye cover your cake boards..thanks
I use tacky glue. I have a friend who uses double-sided tape. Both methods work. Tacky glue is cheaper in the long run
I had a lot of trouble with this too. In the beginning, I'd use a little dot of glue every so often around the board. The problem with this is that you could see the glue through the ribbon. I've now use non-toxic white glue and I lightly paint it (with a brush) along the edge of the board. The ribbon adhers nicely and it can't be seen through the ribbon.
Hope this helps.
I've been using piping gel, however, I can't get it very smooth looking. I've tried glue, piping gel and tape and there are always bumps coming thru from the pleats on the side of the board.
I use a craft glue gun, works like a charm.
I use a hot glue gun too and only grograin ribbon. Looks great!
I do exactly what Mexx suggested. I "paint" the glue (I just use elmers or tacky...both seem to work). Then press the ribbon all the way around. I do pin it in the back where the ribbon ends meet just until the glue is dry. It dries very quick.
Have fun!

| "Mushroom Samba"
"Masshurūmu Sanba"
Session 17
|Previous Session
| Black Dog Serenade
|Next Session
| Speak Like A Child
|Original Airdate
|February 20, 1999
"Mushroom Samba" is the seventeenth session, or episode, of Cowboy Bebop.
Cast Edit
In order of appearance:
The episode opens up with the Bebop crew in their ship, floating through space in their ship that is completely out of fuel. Every member of the crew is hungry and belligerent as the last ration pack has been eaten and nobody is willing to claim responsibility. Spike so much so he even considers eating Ein. Faye tells him to watch himself, as Ein is probably thinking the exact same about him. Jet explains they're not moving because they're out of fuel, and should drift to Europa soon. At that exact moment, the Bebop is hit by a smaller ship. Jet tries to contact the ship to see what happens, but the driver flies away without saying a word. The hit from the ship knocks the crew's ship off original drift course, and they come crashing on the surface of Io. Every member is shaken up, along with all of their things on the ship.
After adjusting to the crash, everyone gets up and is fine. Jet discovers that the rations were a year out of date, and expresses relief that he didn't eat it. He attempts to delegate Faye the task of searching for food, but she suddenly cries of a sharp pain in her stomach, and runs off to the bathroom (clearly making her the culprit in the ration theft). Jet and Spike fix some damages, but are interrupted by Edward, who would like to help them. Turning out to be more of a bother than a help, Spike suggests she go outside and look for food a while. Edward instantly agrees and heads outside with Ein. The two adventure together for a while, but the only thing they found after miles of walking were desert and cactus. Just as they were about to quit and head home, a ship flies over both of them. It was the same ship that him them and knocked them of course earlier. Eager to find out more about it, Edward does a mad dash in the direction of the ship. Obviously not fast enough, Edward eventually loses the trail of the ship. She then looks around to see where she has run, and notices a watermelon truck. Ed pleads the man give them watermelons, but he refuses, as they have no money to pay for it.
Just then, Coffee shows up at the watermelon truck and buys some. Now wanting to adventure more, Edward jumps in the trunk of her car secretly. Coffee then pulls up to a gas station, where she meets two officers. They ask her if she's heard of a man named Domino Walker. Ironically, that is the exact man she's looking for, she tells the officers. The cops still insist they have to check her trunk for any clues on the Domino case. Unknowing of Edward and Ein being in there, she has no problem with this. The cops are flabbergasted to see Edward and Ein, (who are now sleeping) and immediately take Coffee down to the police station. While arresting Coffee, Edward and Ein quietly sneak away.
Edward then stumbles upon a town, where she sees Domino Walker finishing a sandwich. Edward bursts towards him, hoping to reach him and get the last bite of his sandwich, but she wasn't in time. Then, another bounty hunter appears and tries to stop Domino, but Domino gets away. As he runs away, he drops some mushrooms on the ground, one of which is eaten by Ein. He becomes loopy after eating one of the fruits, and starts hopping around. Curious if they're edible to humans or not, Ed goes back to the ship and tests the effect of the mushrooms on her crew. After everyone on the ship had tried some, they each hiccup once, and have extreme hallucinations.
After witnessing this, Ed sees these mushrooms aren't safe for human consumption, and once again adventures out with Ein. The two chase Domino Walker (who they now know what he looks like after seeing his face on "Big Shot". Edward eventually catches up with Domino, and proceeds to catch him, taking out two other bounty hunters in the process. Domino begs that Edward lets him go, and offers him illegal mushrooms, worth much more than his bounty to let him go. Not knowing they were illegal, and still incredibly hungry, Edward agrees. However, they turn out to be regular shiitake mushrooms.
Faye's HallucinationEdit
Faye hallucinates in the bathroom, after flushing the toilet, that water is filing up the room. Eventually filling up so high, she is completely submerged underwater. Fish also enter the hallucination, hundreds of fish swim all around Faye. In actuality, the audience see Faye in the bathroom repeatedly making some sort of swimming motion.
Spike's HallucinationEdit
Spike's hallucination begins as he is walking up the steps. Suddenly his four steps he's used to turns into hundreds of thousands of steps. Spike begins walking up at a slow pace, when he stumbles upon a frog with a deep voice. The frog explains to him he's walking up the stairway to Heaven. In actuality, the audience see Spike is just stepping on the same step over and over.
Jet's HallucinationEdit
We never actually see Jet's hallucination as he saw it. Jet had some sort of hallucination where his special bonsai trees were talking to him. Jet carries on to have long conversations with them, discussing some heavy stuff, like the meaning of the universe. After his hallucination, he finds himself smeared in lipstick.
Quotes Edit
- "Hey mister, this here is the stairway to heaven. You know that don'tcha'?"
- — Frog
Themes and MotifsEdit
Homages and ReferencesEdit
- When the Bebop crashes, the sign "Western World Development Tract 8271" is a reference to the Wim Wenders' film "Paris, Texas". The sign is also referenced in a 1999 book of published essays by the American philosopher Richard Rorty named "Philosophy and Social Hope", which uses the same sign and desert environment as its cover.
- A restaurant which appears is named "Mobi Dik," presumably after the famous novel. Moby Dick is also a reference to a Led Zeppelin song of the same name.
- The frog saying "This is a stairway to heaven. You know that, right?", is a reference to the song "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin.
- The bounty hunter Coffee was likely inspired by the protagonist of the Pam Grier film Coffy.
- Similarly the male bounty hunter claims to be one of the Shaft brothers - a reference to another 1970s blaxploitation film, Shaft. The coffin he is seen dragging mirrors that of the main character of 1966 Spaghetti Western Django, building on the show's cowboy theme.
- The name of mushroom dealer Domino Walker references both Led Zeppelin (via guitarist Jimmy Page's 1999 song "Domino") and modern-day cowboy Walker, Texas Ranger.

Feedback for Hills Prescription Diet i/d Feline has been compiled from 28 customer reviews
Although my cat for which this was purchased doesn't like it, I have to mix real chicken in it for him/her to ear it. I also bought the biscuits which they love, their delicate tummies are ok on this diet.
I'm not a fan of veterinary diets, I usually feed raw. But I was due to go away over the weekend and had a litter of kittens with slightly runny tummies that I didn't want to worsen whilst I was away. It seemed to work, although I'm dubious as to why they add cereal to a digestive food for cats.

Anemia affects almost two-thirds of pregnant women in developing countries and contributes to maternal morbidity and mortality and to low birthweight.
To determine the prevalence of anemia and the dietary and socioeconomic factors associated with anemia in pregnant women living in an urban community setting in Hyderabad, Pakistan.
This was a prospective, observational study of 1,369 pregnant women enrolled at 20 to 26 weeks of gestation and followed to 6 weeks postpartum. A blood sample was obtained at enrollment to determine hemoglobin levels. Information on nutritional knowledge, attitudes, and practice and dietary history regarding usual food intake before and during pregnancy were obtained by trained interviewers within 1 week of enrollment.
The prevalence of anemia (defined by the World Health Organization as hemoglobin < 11.0 g/dL) in these subjects was 90.5%; of these, 75.0% had mild anemia (hemoglobin from 9.0 to 10.9 g/dL) and 14.8% had moderate anemia (hemoglobin from 7.0 to 8.9 g/dL). Only 0.7% were severely anemic (hemoglobin < 7.0 g/dL). Nonanemic women were significantly taller, weighed more, and had a higher body mass index. Multivariate analysis after adjustment for education, pregnancy history, iron supplementation, and height showed that drinking more than three cups of tea per day before pregnancy (adjusted prevalence odds ratio [aPOR], 3.2; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.3 to 8.0), consumption of clay or dirt during pregnancy (aPOR, 3.7; 95% CI, 1.1 to 12.3), and never consuming eggs or consuming eggs less than twice a week during pregnancy (aPOR, 1.7; 95% CI, 1.1 to 2.5) were significantly associated with anemia. Consumption of red meat less than twice a week prior to pregnancy was marginally associated with anemia (aPOR, 1.2; 95% CI, 0.8 to 1.8) but was significantly associated with lower mean hemoglobin concentrations (9.9 vs. 10.0 g/dL, p = .05) during the study period. A subanalysis excluding women with mild anemia found similar associations to those of the main model, albeit even stronger.
A high percentage of women at 20 to 26 weeks of pregnancy had mild to moderate anemia. Pica, tea consumption, and low intake of eggs and red meat were associated with anemia. Women of childbearing age should be provided nutritional education regarding food sources of iron, especially prior to becoming pregnant, and taught how food choices can either enhance or interfere with iron absorption.
Anemia is one of the most common nutritional deficiency diseases observed globally. Although nutritional anemia affects members of both sexes and all age groups, the problem is more prevalent among women and contributes to maternal morbidity and mortality, as well as to low birthweight [1]. It has been estimated that nutritional anemia affects almost two-thirds of pregnant women in developing countries. However, many of these women were already anemic at the time of conception, with an estimated prevalence of anemia of almost 50% among nonpregnant women in developing countries [1]. In Pakistan, the prevalence of anemia among ever-married women aged 15 to 44 is reported to be 26% in urban areas and 47% in rural areas [2]. The prevalence of anemia among pregnant women living in urban areas is similar, ranging from 29% [3] to 50% among pregnant women attending antenatal clinics in a large private, tertiary hospital in Karachi [4, 5].
The etiology of anemia during pregnancy among women in developing countries is multifactorial and varies by geographic region [6]. The primary cause of anemia during pregnancy worldwide is iron deficiency secondary to chronic inadequate dietary intake and menstruation, heightened by the physiologic demands of the fetus and maternal blood volume expansion during pregnancy [6, 7]. Genetic causes and poor hygiene that may lead to infections and infestations are other contributing factors [8].
With limited resources available to address public health problems, knowledge of the local etiological factors responsible for anemia is crucial in order to design appropriate prevention and treatment strategies. Most of the published studies from Pakistan have been conducted on women seeking care in clinical or hospital settings and thus may not give a true picture of anemia and its causes in a population-based sample. The aim of our study was to report the prevalence of anemia and the dietary and socioeconomic factors associated with anemia in a cohort of pregnant women living in an urban community setting in a developing country.
This is a cross-sectional analytic study, nested in a prospective population-based cohort study conducted in Pakistan to assess the association of various maternal characteristics with pregnancy outcome. The study was part of a research collaboration to improve maternal and child survival in Pakistan involving the University of Alabama, Birmingham, Alabama, USA; the Research Triangle Institute, Durham, North Carolina, USA; and Aga Khan University, Karachi, Pakistan. The institutional review boards of all three institutions approved the study, and all subjects provided informed consent.
The project was conducted from 2003 to 2005 in the city of Hyderabad, which is situated in Pakistan's Sindh Province and has an estimated population of 1.1 million people [9]. All pregnant women in the catchment area were screened by government-trained Lady Health Workers for eligibility. Those eligible to participate were invited to visit the project's Hyderabad research clinic for further assessment. At the clinic, women who met the inclusion criteria (at 20 to 26 weeks of gestation, permanent residents of the study area, and consenting to the study) were recruited into the study [9].
Participants were interviewed at the study clinic regarding demographic and socioeconomic characteristics and pregnancy history. Physical examination was performed by the study physicians or midwives, and blood samples were collected. The body mass index (BMI) was calculated as the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters. Nutritional assessment with the use of a validated instrument from Pakistan was completed in the homes of the participants within a week of enrollment [3].
Information on knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding food intake during pregnancy and dietary history of food intake before and during the current pregnancy was obtained with the use of a structured questionnaire by trained personnel. In addition, a 24-hour dietary recall was obtained [10].
At the time of enrollment, 3 mL of venous blood was collected by a trained technician using standard procedures. The hemoglobin concentration was determined by Sahli's method [11]. Anemia was classified according to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification for pregnant women [12]. Mild anemia was classified as hemoglobin concentrations of 9.0 to 10.9 g/dL, moderate anemia as hemoglobin concentrations of 7.0 to 8.9 g/dL, and severe anemia as hemoglobin concentrations < 7.0 g/dL. A study participant was considered nonanemic if her hemoglobin concentration was ≥ 11 g/dL.
Data entry in Microsoft Access included range and validation checks. Descriptive analysis and regression models were run in SPSS for Windows, version 13. Descriptive data are presented as prevalence rates of anemia and mean hemoglobin concentrations. Means and percentages were compared by Student's t-test, analysis of variance, or the χ2 test, as appropriate. The probability of being anemic was evaluated by a multivariate logistic regression model. Variables that did not meet the p value criterion but had known biological or social significance were also considered in development of the model. The independent variables with a moderately low p value (p < .25) or those that had been documented previously to be associated with anemia were included in the model: socioeconomic status, maternal education, employment status, pregnancy history, pica, and dietary intake before and during the current pregnancy.
Correlations among the various independent variables were evaluated. The modeling exercise began with the variable found most significant in the univariate analysis and continued with the subsequent addition of the next most significant variable. The final model included variables that were significant at p ≤ .10.
A subanalysis was also done by excluding women who were mildly anemic from the dataset in order to see whether similar associations as those in the full model would be observed based on only moderate and severe cases.
The final sample cohort included 1,366 women. Three were excluded because of missing dietary data. The age distribution and the socioeconomic characteristics of the excluded cases were not different from those of the final sample. The prevalence of mild to moderate anemia (hemoglobin from 7.0 to 10.9 g/dL) in the cohort was 89.8%; of these, 75.0% had mild anemia (hemoglobin from 9.0 to 10.9 g/dL) and 14.8% had moderate anemia (hemoglobin from 7.0 to 8.9 g/dL). Only 0.7% were severely anemic (hemoglobin < 7.0 g/dL) (table 1).
Table 2 compares anthropometric and demographic characteristics of moderately to severely anemic, mildly anemic, and nonanemic women. Moderate to severely anemic subjects were slightly older than nonanemic subjects; whereas nonanemic women were significantly taller and heavier, and a lower proportion were underweight (BMI < 18.5). In addition, anemic women were more likely to have no formal education and to be employed outside the home. These differences were significant when nonanemic women were compared with mildly anemic women or with moderately to severely anemic women, except for formal education status, for which no differences existed between nonanemic women and mildly anemic women. The only ethnic group that had a significantly lower proportion of anemia was the Pushto-speaking women. The prevalence of moderate to severe anemia among Pushto-speaking women was the lowest (2%) among the ethnic groups (p < .001).
We also compared mean hemoglobin concentrations in relation to various maternal characteristics. The number of prior pregnancies was inversely related to mean hemoglobin level (p = .018). Women reporting a prior stillbirth also had lower mean hemoglobin levels than those who did not (9.69 vs. 9.97 g/dL, p = .0076) (table 3).
The mean hemoglobin concentration was significantly lower among women with no formal education than among women with some formal education (9.7 vs. 10.0 g/dL, p = .015), but there was no significant difference in hemoglobin levels between employed and unemployed women (9.7 vs. 9.9 g/dL, p = .65).
Table 4 presents the dietary characteristics associated with anemia levels and the mean hemoglobin concentrations. Women who reported consumption of red meat or chicken two or more times per week before pregnancy had higher hemoglobin concentrations, but only the differences in mean hemoglobin concentrations associated with consumption of red meat were significant (10.03 vs. 9.87 g/dL, p = .004). Increased tea consumption before pregnancy was associated with a significantly higher prevalence of anemia, but the differences in the mean hemoglobin concentrations were only of borderline significance (p = .065).
During pregnancy, reported dietary consumption of meat and tea was also associated with less anemia and, as in prepregnancy, with a significant increase in mean hemoglobin concentrations in those who consumed greater amounts of red meat. Also, as was the case for tea consumption prior to pregnancy, the greater the quantity of tea consumed during pregnancy, the lower the mean hemoglobin concentration. Consumption of fruits and eggs more than twice a week during pregnancy was associated with significantly higher hemoglobin levels.
Consumption of nonfood items, especially clay and dirt were strongly associated with anemia, as well as with lower mean hemoglobin concentrations. Intake of iron supplements was associated with an increasing prevalence of anemia and lower hemoglobin concentrations.
In the final multivariate model (table 5), tea consumption before pregnancy (adjusted prevalence odds ratio [aPOR], 3.2; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.3 to 8.0), egg consumption less than twice a week or never during pregnancy (aPOR, 1.7; 95% CI, 1.1 to 2.5), and consumption of clay or dirt (aPOR, 3.7; 95% CI, 1.1 to 12.3) were associated with anemia after adjustment for education, pregnancy history, iron supplementation, and height. Consumption of red meat less than twice a week prior to pregnancy was marginally associated with anemia (aPOR, 1.2; 95% CI, 0.8 to 1.8).
A subanalysis was conducted on 341 women (130 nonanemic women and 211 moderate to severely anemic women); 1,024 women with mild anemia were excluded. The purpose of the subanalysis was to determine if the associations seen in the main model remained when mildly anemic women were excluded. In the univariate subanalysis, consumption of meat less than twice a week or never before pregnancy was associated with an increased risk of moderate to severe anemia. The consumption of tea more than three times per day before pregnancy was strongly associated with an increased risk of anemia. Increased tea consumption during pregnancy was also associated with moderate to severe anemia, although the increase was not statistically significant. Consumption of clay and dirt had the strongest association with anemia during pregnancy. In the final multivariate model of the subanalysis, all the associations were similar to those in the main model, albeit even stronger.
The prevalence of anemia in our study population (90.5%) was higher than that reported by other studies from Pakistan. One possible explanation for the high rate of anemia could be that the hemoglobin measurements were obtained late in the second trimester, when the hemoglobin concentration is expected to be at its lowest because plasma volume is expanding more rapidly than the red cell mass. This is consistent with the observation that 75% of the cases of anemia were mild. A similar high rate of anemia was found in a large Indian study including 11 states, where the prevalence of anemia was 87% among 4,775 pregnant women at more than 20 weeks of gestation [8]. The prevalence of anemia among pregnant women in other developing countries ranges from 35% to 81% [1, 8, 13-15].
However, the prevalence of severe anemia was lower in our study than the 2% to 7% reported for developing countries [1]. Nearly half of the women had borderline anemia, with hemoglobin concentrations more than 10 g/dL but less than 11 g/dL. These are encouraging findings for policy makers, because the effort required to reduce the prevalence of anemia in nearly half of pregnant urban women should not be as great as that needed to produce normal hemoglobin levels in women with more severe anemia. Prepregnancy screening with appropriate nutritional counseling or iron and vitamin supplementation may be the best intervention to reduce the high prevalence of pregnancy-related anemia. On the other hand, mild anemia may be due to other causes, such as thalassemia minor, which would have very different policy implications.
In our study, anemic women had a lower BMI than nonanemic women. However, the mean midpregnancy BMI of severely anemic women was 22.1 ± 3.7, suggesting that these women had adequate energy intake but that their diets may have been deficient in dietary iron or that they had poor iron absorption. The anemic women in our study were also significantly shorter than the nonanemic women, suggesting a sustained pattern of undernutrition in their early childhood and implying not only inadequate caloric or nutrient intake but also an inadequate overall diet.
We found the hemoglobin concentration of employed women to be lower that that of unemployed women. This was not an unexpected finding in our study setting, where women often need to work outside the home because of low family income. Furthermore, most of these women would be considered underemployed, i.e., employed but with jobs that were unsteady and low-paying, as suggested by comparison of the median monthly income of anemic women (Rs 750) with that of nonanemic women (Rs 857). However, the impact of employment on anemia status should be interpreted with caution, since the number of employed women was relatively small.
Interestingly, the prevalence of anemia was above 90% in all ethnic groups except the Pushto-speaking women. This is consistent with the results of both the 1987 and the 2001–02 National Nutrition Surveys [16, 17], which found the prevalence of anemia among pregnant and lactating women in the North West Frontier Province to be 6.9% and 31.8%, respectively, as compared with the national average of 45.5%. A possible reason for the lower prevalence of anemia in the Pushto-speaking women could be differences in their dietary practices. In general, diets in most Pakistani populations are heavily reliant on whole wheat flour, which is high in phytate that is known to interfere with iron absorption. On the other hand, the traditional staple of the Pushtoon is naan, which is made from refined flour that undergoes fermentation. Refined flour is lower in phytate, and the process of fermentation breaks down the phytate that may be present in the flour, thus resulting in improved iron absorption [18, 19]. We were unable to conduct a dietary intake subanalysis according to ethnicity because of an insufficient sample size.
In univariate analysis, consumption of fruit two or more times per week was associated with a decreased risk of anemia. Given the fact that a large percentage of the iron in these diets is from nonheme sources, the decreased risk may be attributed to the presence of vitamin C, which is known to enhance the absorption of nonheme iron [20].
Women who reported eating meat two or more times a week had higher mean hemoglobin concentrations. This was an expected result, since meat is an important source of heme. However, in the final adjusted model, in the presence of dietary intake of meat prior to pregnancy, dietary intake of meat during pregnancy was no longer significantly associated with anemia status. Although covariance may explain this finding, it may also indicate that the length of pregnancy is too short for an improved diet to have a significant impact on nutritional status among women who are undernourished before conceiving. Iron supplementation alone during pregnancy may be inadequate to prevent anemia in a large proportion of women who enter pregnancy with little or no iron stores. Furthermore, reported compliance rates for iron supplements during pregnancy are low [21-23]. Therefore, if pregnancy is viewed as part of the reproductive cycle, the appropriate time for intervention is before pregnancy rather than during pregnancy [24]. WHO recommends that in vulnerable populations, supplemental iron should be given to adolescents and women for 2 to 4 months per year to ensure that women have reasonable iron stores when they enter pregnancy [25]. Furthermore, current nutritional recommendations for improving the outcome of pregnancy emphasize the importance of ensuring that women are in good nutritional status prior to conception; hence, the focus needs to be shifted from diet during pregnancy to diet for the childbearing years, especially in developing countries where adolescent pregnancies are common and access to health care may be limited [26].
In terms of dietary practices, it is interesting to note that the consumption of red meat more than twice weekly tended to be protective, and tea consumption had a negative effect. Given the socioeconomic status of the majority of Pakistani women, it may not be possible to increase the intake of heme iron substantially, but nutrition education to include red meat even as part of a mixed vegetable or legume dish could reduce the prevalence of anemia by not only increasing the intake of iron but also enhancing the intake of nonheme iron, especially from wheat flour, which is the staple food in this area. Second, all women whose intake of iron is not optimal should be educated regarding the detrimental effect of tea on iron absorption [18] and should be counseled to decrease tea intake or at least space the intake of tea away from mealtimes. In addition, pregnant women should be counseled regarding the detrimental effect of pica, especially the intake of clay and dirt, on iron absorption [27, 28].
Contrary to expectation, women who reported consuming iron supplements had a significantly lower hemoglobin concentration. It is possible that only those women who were identified as being anemic or had symptoms of anemia were provided or reported taking iron supplements. Finally, we found low socioeconomic status, poor diets, increasing gravidity, and low educational status to be associated with anemia, as has been reported previously in Pakistan [5].
We were unable to account for other known factors associated with anemia, such as helminth infection, genetic disorders, or other nutritional deficiencies such as folate, vitamin B12, and vitamin A deficiency. Although helminth infection contributes to the prevalence of anemia [8], it may not be an important factor in this area because of its low prevalence in Pakistan [28].
Factors in our population that may merit exploring are genetic disorders such as thalassemia. Carriers of beta-thalassemia minor usually either are asymptomatic or present with mild anemia, and in the presence of numerous other potential contributing factors to anemia, beta-thalassemia minor may be overlooked.
Although iron stores can be mobilized to meet the increased requirements of pregnancy, the high prevalence of anemia in these pregnant women strongly suggests that the women generally had low stores of iron and probably had preexisting anemia. Thus, even the compensatory increase in iron absorption during pregnancy may be insufficient to prevent anemia in these women. We found that a high percentage of women in their third trimester of pregnancy had mild to moderate anemia and that dietary intake before as well as during pregnancy was associated with anemia. Therefore, the role of adequate diet and optimal prepregnancy nutritional status needs to be emphasized in women of childbearing age, particularly since pregnancy may be too short a period of time in which to reduce preexisting anemia. These recommendations would hold true in developing countries such as Pakistan where poor women generally do not seek prenatal care and those who do may not do so until the third trimester.
The causes of anemia need further research; in particular, a focus on less commonly studied factors may be required to develop adequate interventions. However, in the meantime, it is recommended that all women of childbearing age in Pakistan should receive basic nutrition education regarding food sources of iron and how food choices affect iron absorption.

Help! Best Tasting Pre-Made Buttercream Icing?
Decorating By sugarandspice812 Updated 21 Sep 2011 , 8:11pm by Torimomma
I'm wanting to make my daughter's 2nd birthday cake, but in between work, home, and going to school full-time, I seriously have my doubts that I will have the time (or energy for that matter....) to make everything from scratch like I did with her first birthday cake. I figured that I would skip the hassle of scratch cake and go with WASC, slowly make the gumpaste figurines one at a time during craft time with the kiddo, and I will be making MMF...I will not skip on that part. Pre-packaged fondant is sooooooo gross.
I was thinking that it would be wonderful to skip making all of the batches of buttercream, but I've already tasted the Wilton brand..... it was not very appetizing. Are there any good tasting pre-made tubs of buttercream icing? If so, I'd love to hear your comments on which ones taste the best! Thanks in advance!
Sorry but it doesn't exist in my opinion. Nothing in a can holds a candle to homemade. I think making icing is the easiest part if you use a stand mixer.
I always make a triple or quadruple batch and then you can freeze it in a Ziploc bag, no problem.

Appropriate to its sci-fi ambitions and branding, Faraday Future has enlisted MAD to design a new campus that suggests "extraterrestrial objects capable of de-familiarizing employees and prospective clients with the status quo of the contemporary automotive market."

Sited on Mare Island in Northern California, the campus will cover approximately 130,000 square meters, of which 20,000 square meters will be buildings. Specifically, the campus features two low, metallic structures as well as a "user experience center" comprising a sculptural reflective tower. From its heights, clients can watch as their car is transported from a warehouse to an exhibition hall via an elevated light rail. Non-client visitors will also be able to visit the experience center.

Repurposing and renovation have gained greater appeal in the years since the overwhelming success of The High Line, extending to a variety of applications and structures. At the recent Milan Design Week, MAD took this to a new level by showcasing their proposal for a new masterplan of Milan, which transforms dilapidated rail yards into a series of thriving new city districts, or micro-systems.

According to MAD, these spatial districts, termed "City of Connections," "City of Green," "City of Living," "City of Culture," and "City of Resources" each address "a vernacular development typical of Italian cities, where various typological elements and scales are overlapped into dense systems of relations. Designing first at the human scale within recognizable landmarks, the broader urban scale is connected to smaller ones through the interjection of topographic landscapes, serving to unify the continually changing relations of the pedestrian, city, and nature.

After a long and obstructive political process (and some sad looking pics of Rahm Emanuel) George Lucas' Museum of Narrative Art decided to abandon its attempt to build in Chicago and now is looking toward the Golden State: specifically, Treasure Island in San Francisco and Exposition Park in Los Angeles. Ma Yansong of MAD architects has subsequently whipped up some new proposed designs for each locale. First up, Exposition Park:

Over one year after its groundbreaking ceremony, MAD's Clover House is now complete. Built next to a rice paddy field in Okazaki, the family-run kindergarten marks MAD's first project in Japan. Siblings Kentaro and Tamaki Nara, who originally operated the kindergarten from their family's two-story house, commissioned MAD to redesign the home into a new kindergarten that can provide a nurturing learning environment.

Wrapped in a white exterior shell, the Clover House's organic form and haphazardly placed windows are meant to evoke a sense of playfulness, as if it were "designed from a child's point of view," stated MAD founder Ma Yansong. "We wanted to create a playful piece of architecture that would stay in the memory of the kids when they have grown up."

During special occasions and school activities, the kids can doodle on the exterior shell as a way to create memories of their time there, MAD partner and Clover House lead architect Yosuke Hayano previously told Archinect. Students...

Pretty much every element of MAD's design for the Xinhee Design Center factors in sustainability: water features, full-blown gardens and offices commingle on the six star-shaped floors that sprout from the central atrium, while an envelope of PTFE provides ventilation and shade.

Solar panels occupy the roof, while the footbridge in the atrium provides both air circulation and the opportunity for impromptu fashion modeling. The use of natural light throughout the building is aided in part by the facade's translucent coating, which allows light transmittance of up to 40%.

However, the concept behind the building is meant to reflect the business of the client, an international fashion group. As MAD founding principal Ma Yansong explains, "We envision it as a building with skin-and-bones. The correspondence of clothing and architecture is they both explore the relationship between the interior and the exterior."

A spokeswoman for San Francisco Supervisor Aaron Peskin confirmed that the city and museum representatives are in early discussions about a site on Treasure Island, a destination in San Francisco Bay famous for a naval base. Los Angeles is also trying to stay in the game, with Mayor Eric Garcetti saying that Lucas' project would find a good home in the heart of the movie industry.

The lawsuit averse Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, which is openly courting other cities after Chicago's Friends of the Park filed legal action to prevent the project from building on its chosen Chicago lakefront site, may wind up in San Francisco, although Los Angeles (and Waukegan, IL) have offered themselves up as well. Rahm Emanuel, who was a vocal champion of the Museum's proposed locale, recently suggested a compromise in the form of moving the museum to the Lake Michigan adjacent McCormick Place East, but no one is compromising as of yet.

With the future of a Lucas Museum on Chicago's lakefront in doubt, the city of Waukegan is asking the organizers to look a little to the north. Waukegan Mayor Wayne Motley reached out to Mellody Hobson, a Chicago financial executive and the wife of "Star Wars" creator George Lucas, about locating the proposed museum featuring digital, traditional and narrative art on Waukegan's lakefront, a city spokesman said on Wednesday.

After a shake-up Tuesday wherein Chicago-based Friends of the Parks (which was taking a 30-day break from suing to prevent the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art from being built) announced that it wasn't going to budge on its anti-LMNA position, George Lucas announced that he was seriously considering other locations. According to the Chicago Tribune Lucas' wife, Mellody Hobson, noted that "this process has been co-opted and hijacked by a small special interest group." On Thursday, The Chicago Tribune reported that Mayor Rahm Emanuel asked his Law Department Wednesday afternoon to ask a federal appeals court to reject the Friends of the Parks case before it is tried. Could the force be with the industrial shoreline of Waukegan, Illinois, population 90K?

Borders are often controversial and rarely flexible, but Ma Yansong of MAD has playfully reinterpreted them with his installation for the 2016 Salone del Mobile in Milan. "Borders are usually seen as something closed and unapproachable but I think it's interesting to make borders attractive, dynamic and engaging," Yansong said about his 'Invisible Border' installation, which strings strands of EFTE across the Cortile d'Onore courtyard. "So we decided to play with the border between the historical loggias and the garden in front of it, and design a transition in-between them."

Part shelter, part fragmented contemplation site for the sky above, the strands emit a whistling sound in the wind, and are designed to provide a surface for illumination at night (with lighting provided by iGuzzini Illuminazione).

"Our installation blurs the boundaries between the traditional and the contemporary. You see the difference in each end, but the transition is very organic," Yansong continued. "It's ...

Exterior becomes interior, public space overlaps with private space, and society is integrated into nature: or is it? These are but a few of the concepts seemingly behind the design of MAD's Clover House, a Kindergarten adjacent to a Japanese rice paddy field that also serves as a private residence for the teachers of the school at night. The house had its official groundbreaking on May 13th, and has attracted international press attention for its undulating paper-like shell and innovative spatial configuration.

Built over a pre-existing 105 square meter row-house, the MAD design incorporates the existing wooden mass-produced home by removing its walls and draping a new exterior over the frame. This purposefully fosters a sense of community among the schoolchildren, which is in keeping with the school's stated mission to create openness and emotional bonds between its students.

But is the design itself actually articulated and reflective of its surroundings, or is it just another flas...

Art should serve the people, Xi Jinping says, and China's weird and wonderful buildings - including a mobile phone building, an excessivley blinged-up hotel, and a penis tower - are evidently not good examples of "morally inspiring art". Duh.

Is it possible Xi Jinping is using a diplomatic language to break loose from imported architecture? The so called elite star architecture now going to have third tier copies? Don't forget the elite post modernism was finally trickled down to strip mall architecture finally in early 90's.

Driving or walking by causes the towers' profiles to change continuously, and it would require significant mental acrobatics to map the relationship between profiles and construct a complete mental model of the building. From a closer vantage point, the geometric enigma remains, but a feature at another scale begins to dominate.

For over a century, a simple dilemma has vexed architects. How to escape the formal monotony of a series of identical stacked plates, without losing the efficiency of the canonical high-rise formula? Through a series of astute formal moves, and by evoking empathy, Chinese architecture practice MAD has achieved a rare breakthrough.

Baked Alaska-Ettes
Recipe by mollypaul
A sweet little morsel from the Mississippi Valley chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947.
Top Review by carlamoose
Although the directions forgot the baking time, the cupcakes turned out great. Bake them at 20 minutes. I would say they were cool after an hour or so. Make sure the broiler is preheated before putting them in (despite my broiler saying not to preheat). If you put them in longer than 30 seconds, the ice cream will start to melt into the batter, so it is critical that the broiler is hot and ready. I used 3/4 cup milk + 2 Tbsp butter for the light cream.

Hundreds of people sleep by the side of noisy roads typical in India's largest cities. The same is true in other low-income countries. Researchers are now looking at whether or not a lack of sleep may actually be a root cause of poverty. Researchers are studying the real-world impact of chronic sleep deprivation, and the impact on how people make, and avoid, decisions. When people are tired, they don't have the mental capacity to deal with some decisions and that can keep them from making good choices. Listen to hear more about how lack of sleep can affect learning and brain functions.

Following up on our initial statement provided on March 3, 2015, Murphy Oil Company Ltd. is continuing its incident management efforts of a condensate leak at its Seal Field, located in a remote area approximately 80 kilometers south east of the Town of Peace River in north central Alberta.
On the afternoon of March 1, 2015, three (3) localized areas of condensate were discovered near the surface along the right-of-way of a condensate transfer line. Murphy's field staff immediately shut-in the source and depressurized the pipeline. Our Emergency Response Plan was activated and the Alberta Energy Regulator was notified of the incident and is on-scene. There have been no reports of injuries.
As our assessment process has progressed, we have now determined that the extent of the condensate release is potentially up to 2,700 m3 (17,000 barrels), which occurred over an extended period of time. The extent and duration of the release is the subject of ongoing assessment and further information will be provided upon confirmation.

Hello Peeps! I hope you are having a great summer. Well, I can tell with all the activity going on around the city that I live in and all the school supplies at my local Target, it means that school is either in session or about to begin. So, with that in mind I was inspired to create these chalkboard like elements or word phrases for your back-to-school scrapbooking or papercrafting.
As for the freebie, there are 14 journaling elements in all. As always, these journaling elements can either be used for journaling in your project life projects, smashbooks, art journals or other types of memory keeping and papercrafting. Many of you Filofax fans have found new uses for these elements as well.
Facts about the freebie:
- 14 journaling elements on an 8 1/2″ by 11″ pdf file.
- File size – less than 1 MB
- These elements were created at 300 dpi, so your printing results should be very clear and sharp with a smooth lay down of the ink color. The preview pictures both on the blog and on Google are at 72 dpi, so you often can not see all the detail accurately or colors are often distorted.
- Color scheme: black and white
My expression of gratitude for all your Pinterest and other social media pins…

I also appreciate the links on Facebook and Pinterest and for some of you, your personal blogs. And thanks for checking out my Instagram pics as well, sure would love it if you follow me!

I lost over 100 pounds, and my body looks great.. except for some extra skin on my stomach... I'm very critical of myself and terrified of showing any men my stomach. I one day want children so paying for a tummy tuck seems pointless. I have this good friend who is very attracted to me and wants to sleep with me. I want him too, but what will he think of my stomach?
Have any of you been with a woman ( or even a guy) with some loose skin? what is your opinion?

Well, here ya go .............
Started it at 12:30 AM at 225, it is a 7.5 lbs. in my brinkman electric smoker , made Jeff's Naked rub, rub it and refrigerated it for 24 hours
Well, here ya go .............
Started it at 12:30 AM at 225, it is a 7.5 lbs. in my brinkman electric smoker , made Jeff's Naked rub, rub it and refrigerated it for 24 hours
It really really looks amazing and juicy .well done
I was surprised it came out tasty , very juicy ( I didn't foil ) and I was a little disappointed (no nice pink smoke ring)
it had a great smoky flavor the rub was very good ( sweet, spicy and a slight kick )
I didn't get a nice crusty bark , which I was disappointed by the rub was kinda crusty , not hard ??
any idea why ?
Al - in -all a nice first time ...didn't ruin a good hunk of meat ...tasted good , juicy and people ate it all next time I hoping for a harder bark and a pink smokey Ring
THANKS to all for yer tips
Thanks Man , it WAS !
Tiki looks good from here..Looks like heaven on a plate...or slice of bread...
Your brisket looks very good!
You won't get a smoke ring with an electric smoker.
Just remember the smoke ring does not affect the taste, it just looks cool.
You may want to put more sugar in the rub, it will help form a thicker bark.
Thanks Guys ! it was really good and a lot of fun doing it .
So more Brown Sugar in the rub , Nice thanks ! I will do so .
No ring from electric smokers ( good to know ) It does look cool yer right !
Very happy with the first one , and again thanks to this forum and all you guys LOTS -A - GOOD INFO here
Nice Job Tiki !!!!
That is an excellent looking Brisket !!!
Perfect BearView too!!!
I love it,
Looks good man! I have the same issue on getting the pretty smoke ring and crusty bark. I think the next time I cook one I am going to crank the heat up to around 300 and see if that gives me the ring and crust. I have always been a fan of the low and slow and the lower the better but I am going to crank it up next time to see what happens. Great job on your first brisket and look forward to seeing more.
Looks great!
congrats looks good
I'd hit that !
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha !
Way to go Tiki,like Al says,Elect.is not usually ringed,however a great looking Brisky. Keep practicing and it gets easier every time.
Have fun and....

Former University of Alabama pitcher Tommy Hunter threw a five-hitter in his season debut, Josh Hamilton homered and the Texas Rangers beat the Tampa Bay Rays 6-1 on Saturday.
ARLINGTON, Texas | Former University of Alabama pitcher Tommy Hunter threw a five-hitter in his season debut, Josh Hamilton homered and the Texas Rangers beat the Tampa Bay Rays 6-1 on Saturday.
Hunter (1-0), who was called up from Triple-A Oklahoma earlier in the day, struck out four and didn't issue a walk. He retired 14 of the last 16 batters he faced for his second career complete game.
Hunter began the season on the 15-day DL because of a left oblique strain he sustained in spring training, and he began a minor league rehab stint on April 28.
After going 1-2 with a 4.05 ERA in six starts for Oklahoma City, Hunter on Saturday assumed the rotation spot of left-hander Derek Holland, placed on the 15-day disabled list last Tuesday due to left rotator cuff inflammation.
Hunter's other complete game came against Seattle on Sept. 13, 2009.
Hamilton continued his hot June with a two-run blast in the first, and is 10 for 22 this month to raise his average from .281 to .299.
Sean Rodriguez homered for the Rays, who've lost eight of their last 12 but maintained a two-game lead over the New York Yankees in the AL East.
Elvis Andrus, who had two hits and two RBIs, led off the first against James Shields (5-4) with a double. Andrus went to third on Shields' wild pitch, and scored when Ian Kinsler's hot grounder glanced off Evan Longoria's glove at third base for an error.
Hamilton's homer later in the first made it 3-0, with all three runs unearned.
Rodriguez's solo homer in the second pulled Tampa Bay to 3-1, but Andrus' RBI ground-out in the second restored Texas' three-run advantage.
Tampa Bay designated hitter Hank Blalock had a baserunning gaffe in the second that cost the Rays a run. Blalock doubled, then inexplicably took off for third and was tagged out. Rodriguez, the next batter, homered.
Julio Borbon's suicide squeeze bunt in the sixth drove in David Murphy, and Andrus' RBI triple extended Texas' lead to 6-1.
Shields gave up six runs — three earned— and 10 hits in seven innings, losing for the fourth time in his last five decisions.

Overall confidence levels in the shipping industry fell in the three months to November 2015, according to the latest Shipping Confidence Survey from international accountant and shipping adviser Moore Stephens.
The average confidence level expressed by respondents in the markets in which they operate was 5.6 on a scale of 1 (low) to 10 (high). This compares to the 5.9 recorded in August 2015. The survey was launched in May 2008 with a confidence rating of 6.8.
All main categories of respondent recorded a fall in confidence this time, most notably charterers (down from 6.5 to 5.5). The confidence of managers was down from 6.4 to 5.8, that of brokers from 5.2 to 4.6, and that of owners from 5.8 to 5.7. Geographically, confidence was up in Asia, from 5.8 to 6.0, but down in Europe from 5.9 to 5.4, and in North America from 6.3 to 5.7.

Though their origin is unclear, buttered eggs remain a regional delight.
A selection of our favourite travel stories of 2015, serving as inspiration for your upcoming adventures and luxurious retreats.
The amenities at this crown jewel of western Ireland do not disappoint—from the luxurious afternoon tea room to the cozy billiards room, it's hard not to feel like the lord or lady of the manor, especially with hospitable staff always at hand to offer assistance or tell a story.
FROM THE ARCHIVE: Pat Sweeney is drawn to places where many fear to tread. Hanging over the edge of the Cliffs of Moher with his arms balanced and neck craned at 90 degrees, the farmer-turned-trailblazer from County Clare on Ireland's far west coast calls to a crowd to overcome their vertigo.
No more than a discreet brass plaque and a buzzer at the wrought-iron gate indicates the entrance to Ballyfin, an Irish country house hotel, secreted away from the world by tall stone walls.

If you're into the local Chicago scene and haven't heard of Swimsuit Addition, then you haven't been paying attention. This foursome craft some of the best "bubblepunk," "brat-pop," "goth-surf," "pysch-grunge," and "weirdo-wave" music in the city (their words, not mine). But seriously, the band's ever-evolving art-rock stylings make them not only exciting to listen to, but a fantastic stage band as well. Their live shows simmer with a fierce, snarling toughness that comes off as powerful rather than intimidating. At the center of it all is Jen Larson, Swimsuit's lead singer and guitarist. In episode six of the Loud Loop Podcast, I chatted with Jen about the band's evolution, where she gets the energy for the millions of her ongoing project and and their new Loud Loop-exclusive jam, "Toner". You can hear the track right after the interview in the podcast, or download it for free below/stream it in the Bandcamp sidebar to the right. Happy Listening!

About MeMy name is Serena Huggard.i just turned 18 and i am currently a model for compton model agency in dublin.
I have only recently started modelling and absolutely love all aspects of it ie. shoots,ramp,promotions etc ...
