fibroadenoma - a tumor of breastcancer, which has good and consists of fibrous and glandular tissue.
benign quite common among adolescents, women in menopause.It consists fibroadenoma of the breast epithelium and stroma.The proportion of these elements is different, in this connection distinguish intrakanalikulyarnuyu and perikanalikulyarnuyu fibroadenoma.Most common benign tumors of mixed type.
Typical symptoms fibroadenomas should be noted the emergence of a solid to the touch, painless, movable, single, slow-growing tumors in the breast.There is a phenomenon, as a rule, women of childbearing age.A benign tumor is round or ovoid shape, is elastic and has a smooth surface.
According to statistics, 90% of the structures have dimensions of about three centimeters in diameter, while the remaining 10% of tumors in diameter account for more than four
There fibroadenoma symptoms in men, but this is a very rare phenomenon, which is mainly due to the anti-androgen treatment.
Diagnosis Diagnosis of breast fibroadenoma is carried out by clinical and ultrasound examination.The most effective ways to detect the disease is breast palpation, mammography.Methods of diagnosis include the implementation of the tissue biopsy, which eliminates the suspicion of developing breast cancer.
In many cases, treatment involves surgery fibroadenoma, which is aimed at complete removal of fibroadenoma with a small margin of normal breast tissue.
reliable method of diagnosis is a biopsy on the basis of which doctors make decisions about the need to remove the fibroadenoma, or a method of clinical research, allowing to monitor the lesion and the growth of breast fibroadenoma.
fibroadenoma Surgical treatment is not carried out if the growth rate in women under 50 years of age is less than 60% per month, in women older than 50 years - 30% less than a month.
There breast fibroadenomas, which are amenable to treatment ormeloksifenom.Modern methods of treatment is ehoterapiya, which is the application of high performance focused ultrasound.As a result of tissue heating procedure occurs, leading to the destruction of tumor cells.
fibroadenoma removal can be carried out as a result of a procedure such as cryosurgery. cryosurgery method consists in the fact that the abnormal tissue cells are destroyed by cold nitrogen.This procedure is safe and highly effective.It is performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia.The advantage of the procedure is minimal compared to the amount of scarring with surgically removing the fibroadenoma.
Doctors recommend to carry out the removal of fibroadenoma using kriodestrutsii in the presence of the following symptoms fibroadenoma:

Melbourne's tallest building, the Eureka Tower, has been found to contain the same type of non-compliant and highly flammable cladding that has caused dozens of deaths overseas.
Victoria's building authority has found Melbourne's tallest building, the Eureka Tower, has a small amount of highly combustible cladding - but says it doesn't pose a risk.
A VBA audit of 170 buildings in Melbourne's CBD found 51 per cent of those checked have the cladding, including the Eureka Tower, but the majority of buildings affected have been cleared of any risk.
The audit was launched after a November 2014 fire at Lacrosse Tower in Melbourne's high-density Docklands precinct was found to have been fuelled by the use of the non-compliant plastic-core aluminium cladding, which is so flammable the CSIRO had to abandon fire testing for fear of destroying their equipment.
The 312 owners of apartment in the Lacrosse Tower have since been ordered to replace the non-compliant cladding at a cost to themselves of at least $40 million.
"Only two buildings, including the Lacrosse Tower in Docklands, have been issued with an emergency order to remove the cladding immediately", a VBA spokesman has said.
The fire raced up more than 20 storeys in just six minutes as flaming debris rained down below.
While no one was injured, the fast-moving blaze caused millions of dollars' worth of damage to the building.
It has also been revealed that up to 2500 high-rise buildings in Sydney could also contain the same type of flammable cladding, which imported cheaply from Asia has become popular with developers and builders particularly during Australia's apartment building boom.
Some of Australia's largest construction companies have been named as using the highly flammable material on well-known Melbourne skyscrapers, including the Victorian government's signature health development, the $250 million Royal Women's Hospital, has also been found to contain the dangerous material.
Dozens of people have died from facade fires caused by the panelling with the plastic core. Most recently on New Year's Eve, Dubai's The Address Hotel was engulfed in flames in a blaze widely believed to have been fuelled by the plastic-core cladding.
This is shocking but not surprising.
More dodgy material from China. More lives under threat. It just goes on and on.
The audit has uncovered the prolific use of the non-compliant cladding across the city in high-rise buildings, finding that more than half of the buildings in the Melbourne CBD constructed over the past decade have used the potentially deadly material…. This is an absolute disgrace. How many lives need to be put at risk for profits. This continual flow of cheap, non-complaint products is putting our cities and citizens at risk!
What the HELL!!!
As a resident, not only am I concerned about safety, but who the hell will be responsible for re-cladding this 91 story fire pit?
Just goes to show use of shoddy materials and shoddy practices lie at the heart of Australia's construction sector.
What do we pay building certifiers to do? They should be checking this and protecting the consumers who end up using the buildings they approve.
The blame lies with the Australian Government for removing the Australian Standard for imports from China and other countries while making it impossible for genuine Australians to manufacture to Australian standards without millions of dollars in fees etc to be recognised. This then prices Australian Manufacturers out of the competitive market. Time for a revolution I say and make politicians accountable for the policies they make and the contracts signed with overseas markets at the expense of the working Australian who has the best interest of its nation in its sights. There is no world market if there is no Australian market.
Agree 100 % Julie. Australia has ALL it's own resources to be fully self sustainable and that means environmentally sustainable as well. If the rest of the world needs our resources, make them pay for them – via Australian owned and operated industries and technologies. Free Trade Agreements – more like a sell out to me. Economies (markets) are based on the scarcity of resources – if we sell all ours to foreign countries, what do we have to trade ????
Cheap imported building products that put us at risk – great work Australian government, you are also to blame for the shoddy international property developers who employ cheap unskilled labour to construct our skyscrapers as well. Are we becoming third world – cheap, unsafe, environmentally unfriendly, shoddily built infrastructure with no accountability?
How can one building be flammable and the other not when the both have the same cladding?
Does one morph into a non combustible material?
It is or is not flammable, it can't be both?
'Cooked from the outside,' fixed. A new Australian Standard has just been rushed through I believe, to address this out of control issue, BUT it won't. Who's going to police the Standard? Who can be prosecuted?
Chinese Government that controls all manufacturing not gettable? Yes they are.
Outside countries Governments won't stand up and support their citizens, even though their is a trillion dollars of damage. WHY?
No one killed yet perhaps, but who would care?
'Cooked on the inside,' who cares?
Insulation around flexible ductwork failing, causing airconditioners operating longer.
Because of increasing temperatures, thus creating more greenhouse gas emissions.
They can fix this too, but won't touch the REAL insulation issues that cause this. WHY?
Because Australian companies, among other parties can be made accountable, that's why.
Does anyone care? Only about three people in Australia.
I guess like so many, our governments think it doesn't affect them personally, so why should they care. Like climate change – they will be dead before it really has a detrimental affect to ALL life on earth.
TAKE NOTE – cheaper is not always better, these sorts of inferior products are coming in all the time and are not checked against the Australian Standards including glass & aluminium and many other building products. A false economy is being created and the cost will be in lives lost!
The out-sourcing Building Certification, Fire Engineering, Australian Standards, and the shutting down CSIRO's Division of Building Research. The Building Research Station and the Federal Department of Housing & Construction, then buildings become less safe. What a surprise! It seems the Federal Government has played part in the risks we now all carry.
"Most recently on New Year's Eve, Dubai's The Address Hotel was engulfed in flames in a blaze widely believed to have been fuelled by the plastic-core cladding."
Most recently on the 29th March Firefighters battle huge blaze at Ajman towers near Dubai.
But hey, Australian buildings are safe to occupy.
Again as I have said ad nausiam in the past, how will people with disability be managed in such evacuations?
As for the CSIRO, karma is a B. The price they gouge companies for testing is a joke. Even a simple contrast or slip test are exorbitant. It's no wonder companies no longer use their services.
I'm sure there are many experts .. Which I'm not .. Will tell us why these external cladding trends on high rise buildings have been the way of the future . However I have said to myself many times over the years …metal and plastic insulated panels.??.. Pressed metal decorative powder coated facsades.??…. How long will that last .??.. Imagine the cost of replacing that.??… Aren't high rise supposed to last at minimum decades and decades ..??.. Grow old and mature, be treasured .. The heritage of the future.?.. Just my gut feeling for a long time ..

Objective. To evaluate the rate of preterm birth and low birth weight in the newborns of pregnant women with early and late onset pre-eclampsia according to folic acid supplementation. Study design. Birth outcomes of newborns were evaluated in 1,017 (2.7%) pregnant women with medically recorded pre-eclampsia and 37,134 pregnant women without pre-eclampsia as reference in the Hungarian Case-Control Surveillance System of Congenital Abnormalities, 1980–1996, in addition these study groups were differentiated according to the supplementation of high dose of folic acid alone from early pregnancy. Results. Pregnant women with pre-eclampsia associated with a higher rate of preterm birth (10.2% versus 9.1%) and low birthweight (7.9% versus 5.6%). There was a lower risk of preterm birth (6.8%) of newborn infants born to pregnant women with early onset pre-eclampsia after folic acid supplementation from early pregnancy though the rate of low birthweight was not reduced significantly. There was no significant reduction in the rate of preterm birth and low birthweight in pregnant women with late onset pre-eclampsia after folic acid supplementation. Conclusion. The rate of preterm birth in pregnant women with early onset pre-eclampsia was reduced moderately by high doses of folic acid supplementation from early pregnancy.
Pre-eclampsia (PE) is frequent (2–8%) and severe complications of pregnancy, and this multisystem disorder of pregnancy is characterized by pregnancy-induced hypertension and new-onset proteinuria during the second half of pregnancy [1–3]. PE is a major contributor to maternal mortality if associates with eclampsia and HELLP syndrome [4, 5]. Furthermore, since delivery is the only cure of PE, there is a higher risk of preterm birth up to 15% [6] and intrauterine growth retardation [7] with an increase in infant mortality and morbidity.
Two important hypotheses have been generated for the pathogenesis of PE during the last decades. The first hypothesis was based on the differentiation of early and late onset PE [3] or on the two-stage model of PE [8]. The second hypothesis was based on PE associated with placental insufficiency due to hyperhomocysteinemia-related vasculopathy because 3.2–7.7-fold higher risk of PE was found in pregnant women with elevated homocysteine levels [9–16]. Folic acid supplementation lowers plasma homocysteine in general [17] and in patients with PE [18], thus folic acid containing multivitamins was tested in pregnant women with gestational hypertension [19] and in pregnant women with PE [20, 21] with significant preventive effect. However, the effect of folic acid alone was not tested though most pregnant women use only folic acid.
The first objective of our study was to evaluate the birth outcomes of pregnant women with early and late onset PE, while the second aim was to check the effect of folic acid supplementation for the risk of preterm birth and low birth weight in their newborn infants in the population-based data set of the Hungarian Case-Control Surveillance of Congenital Abnormalities (HCCSCA) [22].
The HCCSCA is based on the comparison of exposures studied during the pregnancy of mothers of cases with different congenital abnormalities and the mothers of controls without any defect matched to the cases. Cases with congenital abnormalities are selected from the Hungarian Congenital Abnormality Registry [23] for the HCCSCA. Control newborns were selected from the National Birth Registry of the Central Statistical Office for the HCCSCA. In general, two newborns were matched individually to each case according to sex, week of birth in the year when cases were born, and district of parents' residence of cases.
Cases were excluded from this analysis because congenital abnormalities may have a more robust effect for birth outcomes than PE. Thus only 38,151 control newborns without any defect of the HCCSCA, 1980–1996, were evaluated in this study.
Immediately after the selection of newborns an explanatory letter was sent to the mothers, and they were asked to send us the prenatal maternity logbook and all other medical records regarding the study pregnancy; these documents were sent back after three weeks. Prenatal care was mandatory for pregnant women in Hungary (if somebody did not visit prenatal care clinic, she did not receive a maternity grant and leave), thus nearly 100% of pregnant women visited prenatal care clinics, an average 7 times in their pregnancies. The first visit was between the 6th and 12th gestational week. The task of obstetricians was to record all pregnancy complications, including PE, maternal diseases, and related drug prescriptions in the prenatal maternity logbook.
On the other hand, a structured questionnaire, a list of medicines (drugs and pregnancy supplements), and a printed informed consent form were also mailed to the mothers. The questionnaire requested information on maternal personal (e.g., employment status) and medical data including pregnancy complications, maternal diseases, and medicine intakes during the study pregnancy according to gestational month. In order to standardize the answers, mothers were asked to read the enclosed lists as a memory aid before they replied and to send back the filled-in questionnaire and informed consent form with their signature in our prepaid envelop.
The interval between the end of pregnancy and return of the "information package" including prenatal maternity logbook, questionnaire, and so forth, was 5.2 + 2.9 months.
In addition, 200 nonrespondent and 600 respondent mothers were visited at home by regional nurses as part of two validation studies [24, 25] because the committee on ethics considered this followup to be disturbing to the parents of all healthy children. Regional nurses helped mothers to fill in the questionnaire used in the HCCSCA, evaluated the available medical documents, and obtained data regarding the lifestyle of mothers through a cross interview of fathers and other close relatives living together, and finally the so-called family consensus was recorded.
Overall the necessary information was available on 83.0% of pregnant women (81.3% from reply and 1.7% from home visit). Here the 17 years' data of the HCCSCA between 1980 and 1996 are evaluated because the data collection has been changed since 1997 (all mothers are visited by regional nurses), and the recent data had not been validated at the time of the analysis.
Four types of hypertension in pregnant women were classified: (i) chronic hypertension, (ii) PE, (iii) PE superimposed upon chronic hypertension, and (iv) gestational hypertension [1, 2, 26]. Our plan was to evaluate the possible association of these four types of hypertension in pregnant women with the risk of other pregnancy complications and adverse birth outcomes. The data of our study regarding chronic and gestational hypertension were published [27], while the evaluation of pregnant women with PE superimposed upon chronic hypertension is in process. Here the birth outcomes of pregnant women with PE are presented.
Blood pressure and proteinuria were measured in pregnant women at their visits in the prenatal care clinics. If a new-onset proteinuria was found by the help of dipstick screening test after the 20th gestational week, pregnant women were referred to a detailed laboratory examination (more than 300mg in 24h was accepted as proteinuria). PE was diagnosed in pregnant women if they had new onset hypertension and proteinuria. Of course, pregnant women with secondary hypertension were also excluded from the study.
The preliminary analysis of data showed that the diagnosis of PE in the questionnaire based on retrospective maternal information was not reliable; therefore, we decided to evaluate only medically recorded PE in the prenatal maternity logbook. There is no consensus in the classification of early and late onset PE, SOGC [28] and ASH [29] recommended for late onset PE less than 34 or 35 gestational week, respectively, while others differentiate early onset before 24 weeks gestation [30]. Thus we decided to evaluate the onset of PE according to gestational months.
Other pregnancy complications, PE-related drug treatments and other potential confounding factors such as maternal age, birth order, marital and employment status as indicators of socioeconomic status [31], other maternal diseases, and folic acid supplements were also evaluated.
Only one type of 3mg folic acid (Alkaloida/ICN Hungary) tablet was available in Hungary during the study period.
Gestational age was calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period. Both birth weight and gestational age at delivery were medically documented in the discharge summary of mothers because all deliveries took place in inpatient obstetric clinics. The rate of low (less than 2500gram) and large (4000gram or more) birth weight, in addition to the rate of preterm (less than 37 completed gestational weeks or less than 259 days) and postterm (42 completed weeks or 294 days or more) birth was calculated.
We used SAS version 8.02 (SAS Institute, Cary, North Carolina, USA) for statistical analyses. The occurrence of folic acid use was compared in pregnant women with PE and the reference group including all pregnant women without PE. Contingency tables were prepared for the main study variables. First, the characteristics of pregnant women with different study groups were compared with the reference group using chi-square test for categorical variables and Student t-test for quantitative variables. Second, frequency of maternal diseases, pregnancy complications, and related drug treatments was compared between mothers with PE and the reference group by ordinary logistic regression models and odds ratios (OR) with their 95% confidence intervals (CI) being evaluated. Third, the birth outcomes of newborns were evaluated in mothers with PE compared with the reference group using adjusted Student t-test and OR with 95% CI using ordinary logistic regression model. Finally birth outcomes of newborns in pregnant women with PE were stratified according to folic acid supplementation.
The total number of births in Hungary was 2,146,574 during the study period, thus 38,151 controls represented 1.8% of all Hungarian births. Of these 38,151 newborns, 1,017 (2.7%) had mothers with medically recorded PE in the prenatal maternity logbook. Of these 1,017 pregnant women with PE, 45 (4.4%) had later eclampsia while HELLP was not recorded.
Only 580 (57.0%) women out of total 1,017 who were diagnosed as PE had recorded history of taking folic acid supplementation, while this figure was 54.4% (20,195/37,134) in the reference group, thus pregnant women with PE used somewhat more frequently folic acid. The indication of folic acid supplementation was the prevention of neural tube defects. The distribution of daily folic acid supplementation was the following: 22.5%, 68.6%, and 8.9% of pregnant women used one (3mg), two (6mg), and three (9mg) tablets, respectively. Thus the estimated mean daily dose was 5.6mg. The onset of folic acid supplementation was in about 10% of pregnant women before conception; however, most women started folic acid use after the first visit in the prenatal care clinic, that is, between the 6th and 12th gestational weeks, thus before the onset of PE. Practically all pregnant women continued folic acid supplementation until the end of pregnancy. Of 580 pregnant women with PE and folic acid use, 440 (75.9%) had medically recorded folic acid use in the prenatal maternity logbook while this figure was 61.3% in the reference group. Our validation study showed that maternal information regarding folic acid use was correct, but some women retrospectively forgot to mention it. Folic acid containing multivitamins was used rarely and it contained different low doses of folic acid, thus these pregnant women were excluded from the study.
Maternal characteristics are shown in Table 1. There was no difference in mean maternal age of pregnant women with or without PE, while mean birth order was lower by 0.3in pregnant women with PE due to the higher proportion of primiparous pregnant women. In addition, the difference in the mean pregnancy order (birth + miscarriages) was 2-fold higher in women with PE (0.4) than in pregnant women without PE (0.2), and these findings indicate a higher rate of miscarriages in the previous pregnancies of women with PE. The proportion of professional women was somewhat lower in pregnant women with PE, while their proportion of managerial women and skilled workers was somewhat higher compared to pregnant women without PE. Pregnant women with PE and folic acid use were somewhat older with higher mean birth order.
Acute and chronic maternal diseases did not show significant differences between pregnant women with PE and the reference sample.
Among other pregnancy complications, threatened abortion (20.8% versus 17.0%) and placental disorders (2.2% versus 1.5%), particularly abruption placentae occurred more frequently in pregnant women with PE than in pregnant women without PE.
Practically all pregnant women with PE were treated with antihypertensive drugs, most frequently nifedipine (15.1% versus 2.2%) and methyldopa (10.5% versus 0.9%) compared with pregnant women without PE. Dihydralazine, metoprolol, clopamide, and furosemide were also more frequently used by pregnant women with PE. However, magnesium sulphate was used only in two pregnant women with PE.
The diagnosis of PE according to gestational months is shown in Table 2. These data reflect the record of PE diagnosis in the prenatal maternity logbook, but it may be near to the onset of this pregnancy complication due to the frequent visits in prenatal care clinics. However, of 1,017 pregnant women with PE, 100 (9.8%) had not unambiguous time of diagnoses. Unexpectedly the diagnosis of PE was recorded in the fourth gestational month in 3.9% of pregnant women. In general, these pregnant women had new-onset hypertension but proteinuria was confirmed after the 20th gestational week. The maximum was found during the last two pregnancy months.
The birth outcomes of newborn infants born to pregnant women with PE and without PE as reference are shown in the lower part of Table 2. (There was no significant difference in the sex ratio of the study groups.) The mean gestational age was the same in pregnant women with or without PE but the rate of preterm birth was somewhat but not significantly higher in the group of pregnant women with PE (10.2% versus 9.1%). The mean birth weight of newborn infants born to pregnant women with PE was somewhat (41g) larger compared to the newborns of pregnant women without PE and this small difference was significant. On the contrary, the rate of low birth weight newborns was higher in the group of pregnant women with PE (7.9% versus 5.6%), and this 40% increase is significant on both statistical and clinical aspects.
In the next step, newborns were evaluated according to gestational age and birth weight groups in pregnant women with PE and without PE as reference. A characteristic U-shaped curve was shown; the previously mentioned higher rate of preterm birth and low birth weight associated with a higher rate of postterm birth (11.2% versus 10.1%; OR with 95% CI: 1.1. 0.7–1.7) and large birth weight (10.9% versus 7.4%; OR with 95% CI: 1.5, 1.2–2.0). However, these differences reached the level of significance only in low and large birth weight, and the mean birth weight was higher both in term and the postterm births.
The gestational age at delivery and birth weight were moderately modified by folic acid supplementation from the early pregnancy (Table 2). The mean gestational age was 0.3 week longer in pregnant with PE after folic acid supplementation compared to pregnant women with PE, but without folic acid use, These data were in agreement with their lower rate of preterm births (8.8% versus 12.1%). However, folic acid supplement associated with only 46 g larger mean birth weight and with moderate reduction of low birth weight (7.2% versus 8.7%) and these differences were not significant. If only medically recorded folic acid uses were considered, the data of birth outcomes did not differ from the total data.
However, the effect of folic acid increased the rate of postterm birth (11.9% versus 11.2%) with smaller mean birth weight and the rate of large birth weight (11.6% versus 10.9%) with shorter mean gestational age (Table 3), though these changes did not reach the level of significance.
The birth outcomes were evaluated according to the onset of PE (Table 2). There was no obvious trend in mean gestational age and birth weight depending on the onset of PE. The fifth and last ninth months had longer gestational age with the lower rate of preterm birth. The fourth month due to possible diagnostic bias associated with extremely high preterm birth. Obviously the major risk for adverse birth outcomes was connected with the onset of PE between the sixth and eighth gestational months.
Finally the effect of folic acid for birth outcomes was evaluated in pregnant women with early (IV–VI months) and late (VII–IX months) onset PE in the study (Table 4). Folic acid was able to reduce significantly the rate of preterm birth (OR with 95% CI: 0.41, 0.18–0.94) in pregnant women with early onset PE. There was also a reduction in the rate of low birth weight rate after folic acid use in early pregnancy of women with early onset PE but this reduction did not reach the level of significance (OR with 95% CI: 0.52, 0.19–1.40).
The primary aim of the study was to evaluate birth outcomes of pregnant women with early ("placental") and late ("maternal") PE. The risk of adverse birth outcomes cannot be differentiated according to early and late onset PE defined in our study, because the onset between sixth and eighth gestational months associated with a higher risk of preterm birth and low birth weight. The secondary aim of the study was to estimate the possible effect of folic acid for the risk of preterm birth and low birth weight of their newborns. On one hand, the high dose of folic acid used in early pregnancy reduced the rate of preterm birth but not modified significantly the higher rate of low birth weight, that is, intrauterine growth retardation in pregnant women with early PE. On the other hand, this preventive effect of folic acid was not observed in pregnant women with late PE; in fact, there was somewhat but not significantly higher rate of preterm birth and low birth weight in pregnant women with late PE after folic acid supplementation.
The prevalence of PE was 2.7% in pregnant women without PE superimposed upon chronic hypertension. Eclampsia is defined as the occurrence of tonic-clonic seizures in pregnant women with PE, and recently eclampsia has manifested only in 1-2% of women with severe PE [3]. However, this figure was 4.4 % in the study explained by the possible overdiagnoses and mainly by the lack of magnesium sulphate treatment in Hungary during the study period.
The primary goal is to prevent the manifestation of PE with maternal complications; however, a reasonable secondary goal is to reduce the adverse birth outcomes of pregnant women with PE. The rate of preterm births (10.2% versus 9.1%) and mainly of low birth weight (7.9% versus 5.6%) was higher in the newborns of pregnant women with PE than in the newborns of pregnant women without PE, though these figures were lower than rates found in previous studies [32, 33]. These differences may reflect the improvement of medical care of pregnant women with PE. However, the unexpected findings of the study were the higher rate of postterm birth (11.2% versus 10.1%) and mainly of large birth weight (10.9% versus 7.4%) in the newborns of pregnant women with PE. The latter explains the larger mean birth weight of newborn infants born to pregnant women with PE compared to the newborns of pregnant women without PE. The mild U-shaped distribution of gestational weeks is in agreement with the same mean gestational age at delivery in the groups of pregnant women with or without PE.
The use of folic acid modified these findings; the mean gestational age was somewhat longer with a lower rate of preterm birth. Similar beneficial effect was not found in the rate of low birth weight newborns. However, an important observation of our study is that the beneficial effect of high dose of folic acid use from early pregnancy occurred only in pregnant women with early (placental) onset PE.
Our previous study showed that the high dose of folic acid during pregnancy associated with a minor increase of birth weight but a longer gestational age at delivery and significant reduction in the rate of preterm birth [34]. In this study, we found similar findings, but these effects were moderate, thus the maternal pathological conditions are important in the effect of folic acid.
The major expected benefit of antihypertensive therapy is the reduction of hypertension of pregnant women with PE [27] to reduce maternal complications and adverse birth outcomes. However, it was not successful in many women in our material. Magnesium sulphate is recommended for the treatment of severe PE [35, 36]; unfortunately, it was used rarely in Hungary.
Our study confirmed the role of nulliparity [3] and the higher rate of previous miscarriages [37] in the origin of PE.
The strengths of the HCCSCA are that it is a population-based large data set including 1,017 pregnant women with prospectively and medically recorded PE in an ethnically homogeneous European (Caucasian) population. We were able to differentiate PE from the other types of hypertension in pregnant women. Additional strengths are medically recorded other pregnancy complications and birth outcomes, in addition to the available data of potential confounders.
However, this data set also has limitations. (i) Other pregnancy outcomes, for example, miscarriages were not known in the study pregnancy. (ii) Lifestyle factors could not be evaluated in the total data set due to the unreliability of maternal self-reported data [38], though smoking seems to be protective for PE [39–41].
In conclusion, a higher risk of preterm births and mainly low birth weight was found in the newborns of pregnant women with PE. The use of high dose of folic acid from early pregnancy resulted in a reduction of preterm birth in pregnant women with early onset PE; however, similar beneficial effect was not found in the rate of low birth weight and in pregnant women with late onset PE. The clinical importance of these statistically significant changes is necessary to be validated in well-controlled prospective studies.

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Jason Varitek will turn 39 a few weeks into the regular season, an age when most players are eying retirement and the opportunity to relax.
Varitek is about to begin his 14th season with the Red Sox, all of them spent playing a punishing position.
But instead of getting closer to the finish line, Varitek hopes to keep playing. And not just for another season or two.
Asked Sunday if he could picture himself doing what Bob Boone (who played until 42) and Carlton Fisk (active until 45), Varitek didn't hesitate.
"Absolutely,'' he said. "I think once you're done playing, there's no making a comeback. If my body holds up and I'm able to do the things I can still do, I'll play as long I can.
"If I start compromising my livelihood for my kids and stuff later in life, then I've got to start questioning things. If I'm not putting myself in a competitive spot to help a team win, then I have to question things again.
"But . . . is that what I envision? Yes, that's what I envision . . . You can only play this game for so long and as long as your body holds out and you can be productive and do things. I love playing.''
This could be viewed as the second season of the rest of Varitek's career. Last year, for the first time since 2001, when he broke his elbow, Varitek didn't play at least 100 games, and while he missed time with a broken foot, that had little to do with injuries.
The Sox went with Victor Martinez as their primary catcher and Varitek was relegated to a backup spot. He embraced the role without complaint and, especially early in the season, hit well. When Varitek injured his foot in June, he had an OPS of .871, a way-more-than-respectable number for a 38-year-old catcher.
After rehabbing his foot, Varitek came back in September and was entirely out of rhythm at the plate, collecting just one hit in his final 17 at-bats.
Still, what Varitek took away from last year was the passion he still has for the game. The skills, he showed in the first half, are still there, too, as long as he's not overworked.
He would, of course, prefer to play more. But in time, he learned how to make the transition to backup.
"Accepted or embraced it, I think theres two different things because things can change in a hurry on one end,'' he said. "You cant not not be prepared. Just like Vic Martinez last year hitting his thumb, you got to be ready now right in the middle of that game. So accepting is different than embracing it. I think embracing whatever role that you have for the betterment of this team and trying to do what we want to do is win another championship.''
As Varitek recounted, the transition actually began the year before when Martinez, obtained at the July 31 trade deadline, became the de-facto starter behind the plate.
"I had a good month to two months of being in that role in 2009,'' he said, "It was at a different situation than it might have been having the ability to prepare for it, for winter, for spring training, etc. I think that was harder than it was doing it.
"But then I needed to learn what I need to do to stay sharp. That still will be a work in progress because I think we did a lot. We did things with catching instructor Gary Tuck and did things with hitting coach Dave Magadan that allowed that at different times. It allowed me to be a little more free and active on the bench and those type things.''
This season, Varitek will serve as the backup and mentor to Jarrod Saltalamacchia, with whom he's highly impressed. A number of veteran pitchers have already remarked that Saltalamacchia's personality and style remind them of Varitek himself.
"Salty's going to be Salty,'' said Varitek. "Hopefully, he's not living with constant comparisons. I believe Salty is his own person and he's going be his own player. And he's extremely talented. I don't know if I had those abilities that he has when I was that young and breaking in.
"Yeah, we're both big catchers, we switch-hit, strong-armed throwers and love to play the game. But his work ethic and the things he's shown are the reason we've been able to create a bond right away.''
Varitek urges patience with Saltalamacchia and a chance to learn from his growing pains.
"We may see him great early in the season,'' he said, "or we may see him not-so-great early. But he's going to be a good player - no two ways about it. He's too gifted and works too hard not to be.''

How to Become a Professional Counselor:
A Look at Higher Education and Requirements for Licensure
For the right type of person, mental health counseling is a rewarding and fulfilling profession.
If you are considering a career in Counseling, it is wise to do your research on the various educational and licensing requirements required. At minimum, you will need an undergraduate degree, plus a masters degree in Counseling or a related field, depending on what type of counselor you want to be. We will discuss various types of counselors, but our primary focus will be on Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs), which are masters level clinicians who are also nationally certified and licensed by the state in which they practice. Colleges and universities throughout the country offer graduate programs in Counseling, School Counseling, Social Work, Psychology, and Marriage and Family Therapy.
What is a Mental Health Counselor?
Counselors come in all shapes and sizes. The term "therapist" is often synonymous with "counselor" but both terms are somewhat ambiguous, as both terms are used in many fields which have little or nothing to do with mental health counseling. For example, there are financial counselors and admissions counselors and there are massage therapist and physical therapist.
The more appropriate terms would be Professional Mental Health Counselor and Psychotherapist. Both mean roughly the same thing, though there are some semantic differences between the two. For the purpose of this discussion, we will be using the terms "counselor" and "therapist" to apply to the field of mental health only. However, even when you narrow the field down, there's still a number of different types of counselors. Consider the following:
These title can also vary, depending on your State of residence.
There are notable differences between these fields of study and disciplines. The American Counseling Association (ACA) notes the following definition of professional counseling:
There are notable differences between these fields of study and disciplines. The American Counseling Association (ACA) notes the following definition of professional counseling:
Professional counseling is a professional relationship that empowers diverse individuals, families, and groups to accomplish mental health, wellness, education, and career goals.
A Professional Counselor then is a mental health clinician holding a minimum of a masters degree in Counseling or a related field, and who is at least provisionally licensed by the State in which he or she practices. Generally speaking, counselors are qualified to treat a variety of "standard" mental illnesses and disorders. These include but are not limited to: anxiety, trauma and grief, depression, bipolar disorder, adjustment disorders, phobias, somatoform disorders (phantom pain), mood disorders and developmental disorders such as oppositional defiance. This list is not all-inclusive, and many counselors end up specializing in certain conditions and obtaining additional training and certifications in areas such as play therapy, addictions counseling and career counseling, among many others.

Waking Up to a North Woods Fog
Honoring a Family Friend
Rest in peace, Noel Sheth, S.J.
I had the pleasure and the privilege of spending extended time with this gentlemanly priest and family friend. Most frequently it was while sitting in traffic, driving him to or from Chicago airports or to see friends in the area during his many visits.
I know next to nothing about his subjects of expertise – Indian philosophies and religions, Sanskrit, Pali, and at least nine other languages – but our in-car conversations always fascinated me. They usually started with me saying something semi-ignorant like, "It's interesting how Buddhism started in India but caught on much more in other countries."
He'd respectfully ask a few questions to see how much I did – or really DIDN'T – know and then he'd enter a zone: calmly weaving together various reflections on culture and myth and faith and language and human development. Each of these was like a private graduate-level session with one of the most learned people I knew – not only learned but profoundly generous with his learning.
As we got to know each other better, Fr. Noel would share more personal observations, especially related to my wife's parents, Dr. and Mrs. Durairaj. He often expressed his deep admiration for both of them and, very touchingly, he wanted to make sure that I understood and appreciated who they were and what they represented. They have long been pillars of the tight-knit Catholic community in Pune and they and he and the institutions he was part of have had strong mutual relationships of loving hospitality and generosity.
My wife Manju recalled how, among many other loving gestures, he faithfully remembered her mother's birthday. "Every year, if he was in town on 9 July," she wrote in a social media tribute, "Fr. Noel Sheth S.J. would pick a few fragrant roses from the Papal Seminary rose garden and bring them to our house, usually at breakfast time. He would present them to my mom with birthday wishes and a Sanskrit shloka or two that he would then translate with a detailed explanation in English. These are some of the most vivid memories I have of him since my childhood."
My favorite memory of Fr. Noel came from the first time he and I met a dozen years ago. I was at Midway Airport with a very hungry and cranky baby son in the non-existent "waiting area" they have there. My wife had sent me to pick up this esteemed Jesuit with only the vaguest description of who he was or even what he looked like. ("He's very tall and kindhearted.")
When his late flight finally arrived and we hit the expressway, I realized the baby in the back seat was not going to sleep or even stop crying until he had something in his stomach. But we had to be somewhere and had no time to stop. I was busy driving so as a last resort I offered the baby bottle to Fr. Noel in the passenger seat and asked, "Would you mind helping Joseph with his feeding?"
He looked at me blankly for a second, realized I was serious, and bravely took the bottle from me. "Just put it in front of his face," I said, "he'll take it from there. But you'll have to help him hold it."
So this great professor, author, former Papal Seminary rector and university president, well-traveled speaker, Harvard PhD, Jesuit priest stretched his long arm over the seat, stuck the bottle in the baby's mouth, and proceeded to hold it there for the next 15 minutes. All the while we continued talking and he never once lost his signature poise and calm dignity.
Joseph fell sound asleep.
Twelve years later I took the photo shown above. We were in India last summer for my wife's parents' 50th wedding anniversary and on the day of the main celebration the first person to greet us, waiting for us in the parking lot at St. Patrick's Cathedral in Pune, was Fr. Noel. I've always nurtured the bond between him and Joseph since that first bottle-feeding and that was on my mind when I asked them to pose for this picture.
Just a few days ago we called India to greet my mother-in-law on the eve of her birthday, the day he always marked with the gift of a flower and a poem. After the exchange of happy greetings she shared the sad news: Fr. Noel Sheth had died. We were stunned. He was in South America for a conference and lecture and collapsed without warning and was gone.
After our last trip to Pune, I regretted not spending more time with Fr. Noel and I often found myself brainstorming our next visit: how could I get myself invited to a lecture or workshop or just tag along with him for a day?
Now that won't be happening.
In spite of that, I am grateful for the privilege of the times we had together and what he meant to so many people, including my family and me. He was a reflexively generous man, dedicated to feeding us all: intellectually, spiritually, socially, and one day outside a Chicago airport, physically.
Rock Cut State Park on Mother's Day Eve Day
Most Illinoisans drive to Wisconsin for lakes and woods but Rock Cut State Park just north of Rockford provides a fine experience of both without even leaving the Prairie State.
My family – from both sides of the state line – celebrated an early Mother's Day at the park today with a picnic, hiking, games, an unauthorized swim, and lots of nature sightings including a pair of loons, bald eagles, and a very large frog.
Both the lake and the surrounding woods and prairie are large enough to give a good sense of getting away without having to go very far. I highly recommend this park.

To "Merry Christmas" or Not to "Merry Christmas"?
I've taken my holiday greeting cue from my friendly next-door neighbor, who happens to be Jewish and who never fails to greet my family and me with a warm "Merry Christmas!" and "Happy Easter!" on these special days.
When it comes to greetings it's best to be fluid, flexible, and cast a wide net.
In my beloved Wisconsin hometown, which happens to be almost universally Christian, the "happy holidays" crowd tends to be viewed with suspicion (at best). If almost all of us believe in (or at least pay lip-service to) the religious dimensions of Christmas anyway why not just say it: "Merry Christmas!"
I'm not judging myself or my people; much of this comes from an admirable desire to stand up for what we believe in, to embrace our tradition and make it mean something. It's also a very healthy reaction to the rampant commercialism of Christmas.
My sons have grown up in a very different world. They have been blessed with classmates in school who are from Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, Sikh, and a variety of Christian backgrounds – not to mention those families that are intentionally non-religious. For them, a homogenous community is something almost foreign.
My views on holiday greetings also developed further after I met my wife Manju. She grew up in India as a Christian, part of a religious minority of less than 3%. Her home city of Pune has a relatively high level of tolerance for religious diversity but the subtle and sometimes not so subtle biases and prejudices against Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, and others were definitely part of her life.
Growing up in this environment, she developed a great appreciation for the religious traditions of her friends, classmates, and neighbors. She knows which friends are celebrating Diwali, Eid, or Vaisakhi. She knows what they're celebrating and how to talk to them about it. Her own Christian faith is not diminished in the process.
My wife also has made me realize why a secular government and society are so important. They are key when you're one of the 2.7% of Christians in a country that is 80% Hindu.
Perspective is everything. So the cashier at Walgreen's greets me with a "Happy Holidays!" on December 24? That's really a very small price to pay for true religious freedom.
May the true spirit of Christmas transform all of us!

The Line: Washington Nationals / New York Mets --- Over/Under: See the Latest Odds
The New York Mets and Washington Nationals play game two Tuesday night.
The New York Mets look for a win after winning five of their last eight games. The Mets have scored seven runs in their last three games and three or less runs in six of their last 10 games. The Mets have lost four of their last five games when scoring three or less runs. Juan Lagares leads New York with 85 hits and 25 RBI while Curtis Granderson and Wilmer Flores have combined for 68 RBI. The New York Mets have split their last 10 road games. Jacob deGrom gets the ball, and he's 9-6 with a 2.14 ERA and 112 strikeouts this season. deGrom is 0-2 with a 4.15 ERA and 14 strikeouts in his career against the Nationals.
USA TODAY Sports
The Washington Nationals look for a win after splitting their last 10 games. The Nationals have scored nine runs in their last three games and three or less runs in seven of their last 10 games. The Nationals have lost five of their last six games when scoring three or less runs. Yunel Escobar leads Washington with 103 hits and 30 RBI while Bryce Harper and Ian Desmond have combined for 90 RBI. The Washington Nationals have split their last eight home games. Joe Ross takes the hill, and he's 2-1 with a 2.66 ERA and 23 strikeouts this season. This will be Ross' first career game against the Mets.
The Mets are 1-4 in their last 5 during game 2 of a series and 7-3 in deGroms last 10 starts. The Nationals are 18-6 in their last 24 vs. National League East and 7-3 in their last 10 home games vs. a right-handed starter. The Mets are 18-49 in the last 67 meetings.
With the current pitching matchup, you have to give the edge to the Mets with deGrom on the mound. Neither team is scoring a ton of runs at all, so the edge has to go to the Mets with the pitching advantage.

Snoop Dogg : Toronto Sears Theatre
After 90 minutes of prime time and a moment of silence, lighters aloft, for the events of September 11, Snoop heads out for another city and another par-tay
Snoop Dogg looks like a man possessed. He's starred in 'Bones', the soundtrack of which (featuring him) has just been released, he's worked on his new record label with RCA, looked after his clothing line, completed one phase of a tour and still found time to bring another album damn near close to completion. Now it's time for the Rolling Reefer Revue… er… Puff Puff Pass Tour, the second phase of what appears to be a world domination plan, to roll north into Canada.
Snoop doesn't mind taking a back seat for a decent part of the evening. After a brief set from Tha Eastsidaz, dressed like extras from 'South Park', Tha Liks appear, ready to take on the crowd, the sweet smell of marijuana and the world, in that order. The routine of hollering and waving side to side still gets some of the tokers in the audience riled up, but it pales in comparison to the moment when the group asks for 'crowd precipitation'. Whether this is a mistake or a call to liquid arms, we're not sure. Regardless of this, they're still passable.
Snoop himself enters the house only after he's taken us on a journey into his upcoming film, the promo for which makes 'Ishtar' look like 'Citizen Kane'. The crew backing him is ridiculously large, all either smoking, dancing, drinking or singing alongside Snoop. Still, 'Bitch Please' and 'Who Am I (What's My Name?)' have the desired effect on the masses, as do the plumes of weed engulfing the air. The appearance of Doggy's Angels, who line up in single file for 'Down 4 My N's', is a definite high point.
After 90 minutes of prime time and a moment of silence, lighters aloft, for the events of September 11, Snoop heads out for another city and another par-tay. Have we all gone to the Doggs? NME.COM thinks so, at least tonight.

PML-N playing double game to save govt. in Punjab: JUI-F chief
January 25, 2011 - Islamabad
Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman has alleged that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has been playing a double game to save the Punjab government.
The Daily Times quoted Rehman, as saying that PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif had been working on figuring out ways to save the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) government in centre.
Talking about the blasphemy law, he said that it is an internal matter of the country, and urged the European Union and Pope to stay out of the sensitive issue.
Rehman further insisted that the government should not be pressurised by "any country" to make changes in the blasphemy law, and also asked it improve the law and order situation in Karachi.

Diplomacy, not nationalism is way forward in island disputes
Nationalism has no place where territorial disputes are concerned. Sovereignty claims have to be resolved through diplomacy. Yet Chinese, Japanese and South Koreans have put common sense to one side in pressing their governments to be more forceful over contested islands in rich fishing grounds that may lie on oil and gas reserves. Landing, planting a flag or putting up a "for sale" sign do not lead to a solution; they are more likely to spark confrontation, tragedy or a crisis.
Hong Kong, mainland and Taiwanese protesters have once more found this reality in their annual quest to put flags on the Diaoyu Islands, known as the Senkaku chain by Japan. Most times over the years they have failed, their boat being turned back or blocked by Japanese navy vessels, but yesterday, they succeeded. In 1996, there was tragedy with the drowning of activist David Chan Yuk-cheung. Mission accomplished or not, though, the point is always missed: such adventures fail to achieve their goals.
That is also how South Korean President Lee Myung-bak's unprecedented visit last week to the disputed island of Dokdo, called Takeshima by Japan, has to be viewed. The first leader from his country to make the trip, he wanted to affirm Seoul's claim amid a perceived push for sovereignty by Tokyo. South Koreans fired by patriotism who swam there this week to plant a flag had the same intention. For their troubles, all they have done is worsen relations.
Upcoming leadership changes have not helped. China's political powerbrokers are in the final throes of choosing leaders for the next decade and campaigning is under way in South Korea for presidential polls in December. Nationalism is seen as a way of winning popular support and the territorial claims are ideal focal points. The trend is especially noticeable in Japan where the opposition Liberal Democratic Party, with a slim lead in opinion polls over Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda's Democratic Party of Japan, is pushing for dissolution of parliament that would lead to a general election.
Lee's trip infuriated Japan, which withdrew its ambassador from Seoul and postponed an annual bilateral meeting of finance ministers. Worse is likely to come amid rising Japanese nationalism. That could also harm ties with China, which are similarly delicately poised. Noda, trying to head off a bid by nationalist Tokyo Governor Shintaro Ishihara to buy the privately owned Diaoyus, instead wants the government to purchase them for the nation.
Activists who go to disputed islands risk sparking diplomatic or military confrontations. Governments turning to or encouraging nationalism over sovereignty claims are making a mistake. There is only one way to calm waters: through dialogue.

Dead project?[edit]
I noticed there hasn't been a new version in over a year, and their forums have been down for quite some time. (Even before then, the registration process was broken.) Anybody know what's up? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 05:14, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
- Yes. Psi is dead. Main developer of Psi focused on the development of another project (Yandex.Online) and haven't time for Psi. There is Psi+ project which makes patches for Psi but by fact this fork.
- --T-taurus (talk) 09:07, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
- If Psi being no longer in development can be sourced somewhere, it should be included in the main article, along with a link to the Psi+ fork. They should really update the Psi home page to make this known as well 126.96.36.199 (talk) 20:00, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
- Main developer may be focused on other stuff, but there's activity on the Wiki and Psi Dev List.

Home Security Store Advertises tech support; sells you overpriced alarm systems/components, then fails to support them Riverside, California
I have a GE Simon XT system. I wanted to add a couple outdoor motion sensors. Home Security Store sells the OPTEX VX-402R outdoor motion sensors. While their site does list compatible transmitters for the sensor, they don't come right out and tell you that you need to purchase a TRANSMITTER to go with the sensor. No issue. I had spare door sensors.
I followed their installation instructional video, which tells you how to connect the transmitter to the motion sensor. Trust me, it is HOKEY. [continued below]....
I installed the wiring for the motion sensor to connect to the transmitter. I wired the 9 volt battery too. I installed the transmitter case into the main housing of the motion sensor (bizarre). I ended up with constant "Tamper" errors and "sensor open" errors. Because I am not a moron, I understand that the "tamper" error relates to the seating of the transmitter cover, inside the sealed motion sensor. I understand that the "sensor open" refers to the state of the motion sensor, being transmitted back to the alarm panel. Try as I might, for four hours spent on the issues, I couldn't ever get both errors cleared on the two external motion sensors.
So, for the first time in two-three alarm installations with items purchased from the Home Security Store, I call the Home Security Store for help; help with the installation of the sensors that I PURCHASED FROM THEM A FEW DAYS AGO... in an order of 3 items, totaling $333.18 .
I spoke to a tech in their (we don't provide) tech support department. fter giving him my account information and letting him know the model of the external sensors I purchased from Home Security Store, I told the guy that I am installing the aforementioned sensors on a GE Simon XT alarm panel that I already owned. I told him the issues I was having. He wanted to know if I was using the "MCT" transmitter model... which is not used on GE Simon XT systems; clearly, the tech support needs tech support. I informed him that I was using the VISONIC MODEL recommended by Home Security Store. Next, the guy tells me that he wants to "stick with the facts" (whatever that means); he said that the "tamper" error was due to the transmitter cover (DUH). Next, he told me that I didn't purchase my alarm panel through them, indicating I am not entitled to their help. I guess these are the facts the tech support rocket scientist wanted to stick to.
I told him that I purchased the MOTION SENSORS through the Home Security Store and that I needed help with installing them, not with installing the alarm panel which was already installed. At this point, I told him that I would take the trash items out in my yard and beat them with a sledgehammer, sending the remains to them. I also expressed that, after purchasing 3 alarm systems and various other orders for accessories (I have $600 worth of them on my account alone), I would never spend another dime at the Home Security Store.
I called their Sales Department, to express my outrage. I had to go through the entire saga again. I was transferred to another person... who wanted the saga repeated yet again. Her response? Did she offer to make good? Get help? Anything? No. She said "go ahead".
Trust me. These clowns do not deserve their BBB "A" rating. I imagine they have it because they sought BBB Accreditation. I will be filing a BBB complaint in the near future. My loss... but it will be MY LAST LOSS from Home Security Store.

In case you haven't heard, live streaming apps like Musical.ly are the future, and the young stars who are leading the charge are making some serious bank in the process.
According to a report from Variety, which cites information from Musical.ly, the top ten users on Musical.ly's Live.ly app are making an average of $46,000 over a two week period.
Live.ly, which launched back in June, takes the same live streaming infrastructure of the lip syncing-based Musical.ly app and applies it to a more general broadcasting experience. Users take to Live.ly to chat with their fans, discuss their days, and do activities on screen. This formula proved to be an immediate success; shortly after Live.ly's launch, it was installed more than two million times.
It's not just the team behind Live.ly that is benefitting from the app's success; through in-app microtransactions, creators (who take home half of the revenue their content generates) can also convert their millions of followers into tangible funds. Variety talked to YouTube star Bart Baker (pictured above with his partner Shira Lazar, who often appears with him on-screen), who has used Live.ly about a dozen times and claims to have received six-digit viewer counts for some of his broadcasts. As a result, he has generated $30,000 in revenue during those streams.Read the full article at tubefilter

SA's Got Talent has helped this Manenberg mom find her voice to tell the world her incredible story.
On Sunday night Phoenix, whose real name is Bernadette Adams, won over the nation with her vocal performance and made it through to the finals of the e.tv reality show.
But behind her powerful voice lies the heartbreaking tale of a woman who has suffered great hardship.In today's article, Part 1 one of her interview with the Daily Voice, she talks about the tragic circumstances that led to her becoming a drug mule and landing up in an Italian jail.
Forty-five-year old Bernadette, the youngest of five kids, says she first started singing when she was a eight at the Catholic Church her family attended.
She left high school in Grade 10 and studied interior design at college but gave it up because "it really wasn't for me".FactoryShe met her husband in 1991 while working at a fish factory in Hout Bay.
"We were happy but not for long," says the well-spoken woman, sitting in the lounge of her council flat in Manenberg.
She then worked as a welder at a car parts manufacturer in the Southern Suburbs, but it was when she took a job as a restaurant manager in the city, owned by foreign nationals, that her life took a turn for the worse.The long hours took its toll on Bernadette's marriage.
"It was 2001 and the day before my birthday that I found out he was cheating on me. The next day he left, on my birthday, and it was devastating," says Bernadette.The newly single mom worked harder to make ends meet, "begging and borrowing" from family and friends.
Soon, a friend of her boss presented her with an "opportunity to make money fast and get rich quick"."I was desperate, and so I heard them out," she explains.
"They said it was medicine that I needed to take to their brother overseas."
Her first trip was to Switzerland, and the foreigners helped pack her bags.
"When I got back, my mother asked so many questions, so I lied to her and told her it was money that the bosses owed me. She was a prayerful woman and I know she didn't believe me," says Bernadette.
She wouldn't reveal the identity of her boss, only that she was paid "thousands of rands" for making the deliveries.
By the time she took the second trip to Venezuela, Bernadette knew that she was a drug mule. "I swear I've never even done drugs once in my life," she says.
"Before the third trip, my mother said to me: 'Bernie, you are doing something that's not right.'"
She later wished she had listened to her mom.While waiting at Milan airport for a connecting flight to Switzerland, she was caught with 1.5kg of cocaine in her luggage.
"They kept me in the holding cells for a few days and then I was sent to Casa Circondarial Carcere Milano prison, an all-female prison," Bernadette says, holding back tears.
"I cried every day. I didn't speak Italian, I had no contact with my family and for the first few months they didn't even know what happened to me," she adds.
She was eventually sentenced to four years in prison which was reduced to two years, according to an Italian law called Article 73.
Without family on the outside to bring her toiletries and other necessities, the mom had to make a plan to survive behind bars.
"Ek het garing gevat en jewellery gemaak. I made bangles and necklaces and then I traded it with the other female prisoners for soap, shampoo and lotion," she explains.
Luckily this was the worst of her struggles, she notes, pointing out that she was never abused in any way.
She adds that her "prison education was harsh, but much-needed".
She also picked up some Italian, which she needed to communicate in jail.
"Because of my Catholic upbringing, the nuns and the priests in Italy really helped me and they had contact with the nuns in Manenberg," she says.
After about four months, she finally managed to write a letter home, to tell her shocked family of her imprisonment.
She had served 18 months of her sentence when something unexpected happened – on April 2, 2005, Pope John Paul II passed away...
Through to the finals
Bernadette, aka Phoenix, decided she needed a stage name when she embarked on her singing career.
"It was just something I thought would be good to have," she explains.
"I went to Phoenix High School here in Manenberg and that was the first reason why I chose it.
"Then after looking into it, I realised the symbolism of the phoenix and how it rises from the ashes and I knew it was the perfect name for me," she says.
"When I got married, I stopped singing because I became a mom and I was working so it was a dream I let go of.
"I sang throughout high school, in church and then with bands.
"It was never my career but now with SA's Got Talent, I am going to take it forward and leave a legacy for my children and grandchildren.
"I also don't just wanna take things and do gigs just for the sake of doing it. This is my talent and I want it to be valued," says the reality show finalist.
The first round of the SAGT semifinals was held last Sunday, where Phoenix performed Labi Siffre's Something so Strong, garnering the most public votes.SAGT is on e.tv every Sunday at 6.05pm and the results show is at 7.30pm.

Remain Calm says Johnson-Smith
Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade Kamina Johnson Smith says Jamaicans should remain calm despite tension over the new executive orders signed by President Donald Trump.
The orders one of which bans travellers from seven Muslim-dominated countries has caused many persons across the world to be concerned.
Minister Johnson Smith says it is unhelpful that people are inciting panic on matters that are very complex and very technical and subject to a lot of uncertainty even in the issuing state. She says the Ministry is making every effort to ascertain the scope of the orders and it is important that one does not conflate them,considering that there is more than one order and they deal with entirely different things.
Johnson Smith said the Jamaican government is examining these issues and noted that the ministry is in contact with the US Embassy here and the State Department overseas through Jamaican missions.

What in the world were you thinking
When you said that you love me?
I'm a level-headed guy and I
Try to keep my wits about me,
Even though you're quite bewitching,
It's too much, too fast, too soon.
How in the world did we think
We had the same understanding?
I'm a reasonable man and I
Can't quite tell when you're so nearby
But it just seems crazy to try
For the sun, the stars, the moon.
Yes, it's true I'm nearly flattened by your kisses.
Clearly I should be resisting these near misses.
I'll walk away, turn you down, end the play, hold my ground…
Wait—don't go, come back, resume!
Why in the world was I thinking
That I don't think I love you?
I'm a well-intentioned male, but I
Failed to heed the pleasant warnings
Every goner gets before he
Falls so much, so fast, so soon.

Expert wine and beer picks for every situation from a saucy new book.
Something you already know: seafood and white wine were made for each other. Something you don't know: when social media stalking your new crush, Chablis will save you from falling too deep in an Internet wormhole. Such hilarious scenarios are the basis of a new book by Diane McMartin, a Washington, D.C.-based certified sommelier. In This Calls for a Drink: The Best Wines & Beers to Pair With Every Situation, Diane puts a wise-cracking, yet informative spin on the old rules of wine and beer pairing. We've bookmarked a few sticky situations that go splendidly with our glassware, so raise a glass and get sipping!
1. Hosting dinner for your significant other's parents:
Ricci Curbastro Franciacorta Brut + fizz champagne flute. "Sparkling wine can be easily enjoyed before or after a meal, and this Brut is the less expected, Italian answer to Champagne. If you buy wine from a local wine shop, look for an obscure variety and ask the salesperson all about it. The more anecdotes you have to share during awkward moments throughout the night, the better the meal will be for everyone. A few sips of your left-of-center bubbly and everyone will be leaning allll the way back and really getting to know each other," says Diane.
2. Social media stalking your new squeeze:
Domaine Seguinot Bordet Chablis + christian wine glass. "The acidity in Chablis is often described with words like bracing and electric. So what better way to jolt you out of the internet wormhole you've gone down? If you think you like Chardonnay , you need to try Chablis (and real Chablis that says it's from France on the bottle, not the scary stuff in the jug on the bottom shelf of the grocery store). It's full-bodied with citrus flavors that will race across your tongue in a pleasing, refreshing way."
3. Stuck inside with snacks because of severe storms:
Kentucky bourbon barrel stout + tall beer glass + stainless steel snack bowl with BBQ chips. "Barbecue and stout may seem like an odd combination, but the roasty bass notes of the stout and the charmingly fake smoke flavor in the chips marry the two together. The fact that stouts have a satisfying creaminess to them provides a nice counterpoint to the chips' crunch and slight tang."
4. Finding a grey hair:
Off-dry Riesling + rona wine glass. "Gray hair on your head is one thing. You can dye it, or you can let the streaks grow in and enjoy looking like an eccentric middle-school art teacher. But a weird, wiry gray hair that won't play nicely with the rest of your brows (why?!) or worse, one in the, er, bathing suit area? That calls for a drink, or possibly something even stronger! Attempt to embrace being older with a distinguished off-dry German Riesling. Rieslings wear their grays with élan and are excellent with pork sausages. So open a bottle, pluck that weird eyebrow hair, and revel in your mature sophistication."
5. When remodeling your home:
Dry sherry + palm cocktail-wine glass. "You'll need something both soothing and cheap to get you through the weeks (months? years?) of banging and clanging and being over budget. Dry Sherry lasts much longer than regular table wine if you keep it in the refrigerator (about two weeks), so you'll never feel like you're pouring money down the drain when you don't finish a bottle. It's got the dry, crisp character that white wine does, but with a salty, nutty note on the finish, and it's a bit higher in alcohol."

Coconut Creek, FL (PressExposure) July 17, 2009 -- /1888PressRelease/ âSecure Itâ is a small device (2.5âx1.5âx.5â) that securely holds two of your electronic charging cords in place on most any surface. The âSecure Itâ can be placed wherever it is that you charge your cell phones, iPods/MP3 players, blue tooth ear pieces, digital cameras, etc. The great advantage is that this small device stays secure holding the cords up and off the floor where you want easy access to them.
No longer do you have to reach behind your night stand or crawl under your desk to get the cord that has fallen behind or under it. It also eliminates the need to be bending down to just above floor level to connect your power cord. You can now keep the cord plugged into the outlet and simply use âSecure Itâ to keep it securely in the location that is easily accessible to you. Whether you are traveling, at home or at work, âSecure Itâ is the solution that eliminates the searching, bending and reaching for your charging cords behind or under furniture or counters.
With so many small electronic devices in households today that all require daily charging, it became apparent that we needed to come up with an item that would eliminate the problem of bending, crawling and reaching for these cords on a daily basis. âSecure Itâ was developed as a solution to the problem that almost everyone faces on a daily basis. âSecure Itâ has a non skid bottom that allows it to stay in place, while being able to hold two cords securely in place simultaneously.
The problem with other items in the market that hold your cords is that they have a huge footprint taking up too much space on a nightstand, desk or countertop, and are designed as an additional piece of furniture. The advantage to âSecure Itâ is that it is small, so it can be placed anywhere and not be obtrusive in any way. In addition, it will be inexpensive with an MSRP of under $9.99. The product will begin shipping in August 2009.

Overall, very good
I haven't had them long so don't know how they will do over time but so far I like them and would probably buy them again.
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? yes
- How is the quality of the product? I like the feel of the material and they are very absorbent. However, some of the side hems are raveling.
- Did the description onsite accurately describe the product? yes
Was This Review Helpful?
