Administering steroids with HIV treatment-boosting agents
Co-administration of a steroid with an HIV treatment-boosting agent such as ritonavir or cobicistat increases the risk of iatrogenic Cushing syndrome and subsequent secondary adrenal suppression. This article discusses the strategies to help prevent this and describes how to identify and manage such interactions.
Steroids are used for a variety of indications in the HIV-infected population, for example in managing chronic respiratory disease, chronic back pain or immune reconstitution inflammatory conditions of the skin and eyes. A recent service evaluation of three major London HIV tertiary centres found that steroids were primarily being used in asthma/COPD and musculoskeletal conditions.1
Pharmacokinetic boosters are agents that work by inhibiting the metabolism of other drugs, thereby increasing the levels and prolonging the action of these drugs. Ritonavir and its structural analogue cobicistat are HIV treatment-boosting agents that potently inhibit the cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) enzyme group in the liver2-4 in order to prolong the action of some antiretroviral medications.5 A disadvantage of this pharmacological enhancement is the significant potential for interaction with CYP3A substrates, leading to side-effects.
A majority of prescribed and endogenous steroids are metabolised by the CYP3A subfamily, particularly by CYP3A4.4,6 Therefore, corticosteroid metabolism is decreased with the CYP3A inhibitors ritonavir and cobicistat.7 Subsequent increases in plasma concentrations of the prescribed steroid can induce iatrogenic Cushing syndrome (ICS) and through the hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis feedback mechanism, ICS leads to secondary adrenal suppression and low endogenous cortisol levels.3-4,8
There is potential for this interaction to occur even with non-orally administered steroid formulations, including intranasal, inhaled, intra-articular, topical and intra-ocular routes.4-6,9-23 The importance of these reactions is being increasingly recognised4,10-14 but cases remain under-reported as non-oral steroid use is rarely disclosed by patients and poorly documented in medical records. Intra-articular steroid injections in particular are often administered by healthcare professionals who may not be aware of the individual's HIV status, exposure to antiretroviral therapy (ART) or the potential for this interaction, the effects of which may manifest as early as four weeks after the injection is administered.12
In December 2016, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) released a drug safety update, advising on the choice of beclometasone with HIV treatment-boosting agents, particularly if long-term steroid co-administration is deemed necessary, as beclometasone is less dependent on CYP3A metabolism.23 This article outlines recommendations on the co-administration of a steroid with an HIV treatment-boosting agent as a guide to empower GPs to identify, prevent and manage this interaction as there are currently no established standardised guidelines.
Strategies to prevent ICS and secondary adrenal suppression
The current evidence on the effects of co-administration of HIV treatment-boosting agents and individual steroids by route is reviewed below.
Inhaled or intranasal steroids
No significant interactions have been reported between beclometasone and ritonavir-boosted ART.2,3,24 Beclometasone has low lipophilicity, a short elimination half-life and uses alternative pathways, making it the preferred option.4,24,25 Steroids to avoid are fluticasone and budesonide.
One case of ICS has been reported with oral budesonide and ritonavir.17 Short-term courses of oral steroids should be used at reduced doses, although evidence for this is lacking. If longer-term steroids are required, referral to the HIV specialist is recommended so that a switch can be made to non-ritonavir/cobicistat ART.
Injectable (intramuscular, epidural or intra-articular)
There are at least 30 published cases of ICS/secondary adrenal suppression in HIV-infected patients taking antiretrovirals following co-administration with an injectable steroid, all of whom were treated with triamcinolone, except for one patient who was injected with methylprednisolone.6,11-14,26-29 Intra-articular triamcinolone must be avoided in view of the strong evidence of ICS/secondary adrenal suppression when used with CYP3A inhibitors. Use of methylprednisolone, a CYP3A4-metabolised steroid, may theoretically result in ICS/secondary adrenal suppression but may be a preferred alternative at a lower dose in patients on ritonavir or cobicistat.
Topical and intra-ocular
The use of topical corticosteroids (for one month or more involving ≥4.5% of total body surface area) in combination with ritonavir has been shown to cause ICS.18 The development of ICS with subsequent secondary adrenal suppression was reported in a patient treated with ritonavir and corticosteroid eye drops.19 There is a lack of data on the risk of developing ICS/secondary adrenal suppression with varying strengths of topical preparations when used in conjunction with HIV treatment-boosting agents.
General advice
Co-administration of multiroute CYP3A-metabolised corticosteroids with an HIV treatment-boosting agent is not recommended unless the potential benefit to the patient outweighs the risk. Routine use of specific potent steroids including fluticasone, budesonide and triamcinolone in patients treated with CYP3A4 inhibitors is not recommended via any route.
Steroid-sparing alternatives should always be considered. If these are not available, referral to the HIV specialist is advised so that switching to a non-ritonavir/cobicistat antiretroviral combination may be considered. In all cases, patients who have been prescribed steroids in primary care should be provided with written information on steroid sickness rules and advised to attend accident and emergency if they become unwell. The University of Liverpool's free online resource on HIV drug interactions should be consulted to ensure safe and appropriate steroid prescribing.30
Diagnosing ICS and secondary adrenal suppression
Physical features
The manifestations of ICS and secondary adrenal suppression are summarised in Table 1 with features suggestive of an adrenal crisis indicated with asterisks.
Table 1. Clinical features of iatrogenic Cushing syndrome, secondary adrenal suppression and adrenal crises
Medication history
It is imperative to record a thorough medication history in patients with signs and symptoms of ICS, including dose and method of administration of the steroids (intranasal, inhaled, injected, intraocular and topical).
Diagnostic tests
A 9am cortisol test is useful to screen for consequent secondary adrenal suppression because ICS is a clinical diagnosis. The most important biochemical finding in ICS/secondary adrenal suppression is a suppressed cortisol level. A cortisol level of >450nmol/L generally indicates an intact HPA axis and if sampled between 8 and 9am, a cortisol level measuring <100nmol/L indicates deficient basal cortisol secretion.15 Of note, a peak level of >550nmol/L may be reported with older assays that are still used in many laboratories.
Individuals with cortisol levels of <450nmol/L should be investigated further to distinguish those with an intact HPA axis from those with secondary adrenal suppression. A standard short synacthen test (SST) is recommended (cortisol levels are measured at 0, 30, 60 minutes after an intramuscular injection of 250µg tetracosactide is administered).33 Cortisol assays and reference ranges may vary, therefore it is important to check with the local laboratory.
When possible, screening for secondary adrenal suppression should occur at least one week after the dose has been tapered to a once-daily physiological dose (preferably with hydrocortisone, which has a shorter half-life). If a patient is on either prednisolone or hydrocortisone cover, ensure that neither of these is taken the night prior to, or on the morning of the test (9am cortisol or SST) as there is a potential for cross-reactivity in the assay, producing falsely elevated results. The final dose of steroids should be midday on the day prior to the test. On the day of testing, steroids should be withheld until the last blood sample is taken. A 9am cortisol may be performed within three days of stopping an inhaled steroid and monitored every two to four weeks until cortisol levels normalise.
Monitoring HPA axis recovery
The duration of impact of ritonavir/cobicistat-boosted ART on the HPA axis, recognising that it can take a year or longer for return to normal function, mandates a slow taper of replacement corticosteroid therapy and monitoring of symptoms.34 The recovery rate from adrenal suppression secondary to inhaled fluticasone has not been established.
Repeated 9am cortisol (every six to eight weeks until levels normalise) can be used to identify patients in whom the HPA axis has recovered. Steroid replacement can be stopped once 9am cortisol levels =450nmol/L.
In an individual who has received an injectable steroid, a referral should be made to the patient's HIV team to switch ART to a non-ritonavir/cobicistat combination, if the patient is likely to continue to require the injectable steroid and there are no alternative disease-modifying agents. In asymptomatic patients, we advise a six-weekly cortisol level, the first measured at least four to six weeks post-steroid injection for 6–12 weeks to identify if the HPA axis has recovered.
Management: steroid replacement and switching antiretrovirals
Physiological glucocorticoid levels are equivalent to prednisolone 5.0–7.5mg daily, or hydrocortisone 20mg daily (in two to three doses). Symptomatic patients with secondary adrenal suppression should be treated with daily replacement steroid doses plus 'stress doses' during physiological stress (illness, injury or surgery).35 Giving stress doses of steroids involves doubling the oral steroid dose, or using parenteral steroids in patients unable to receive oral steroids.36
As hydrocortisone has a short half-life, it is a preferred choice for steroid cover in some centres as there may be more opportunity for the HPA axis to recover compared with longer acting steroids.35 An asymptomatic individual with biochemical evidence of secondary adrenal suppression is also at risk of adrenal crisis during physiological stress and should receive stress doses, with or without daily physiological steroids. However, treating asymptomatic patients with secondary adrenal suppression may not necessarily delay HPA axis recovery.
An algorithm for the investigation and management of suspected secondary adrenal suppression is summarised in Figure 1. We recommend symptomatic patients taking ritonavir/cobicistat-boosted ART with suspected secondary adrenal suppression to start steroid cover with oral hydrocortisone 10mg daily in three divided doses (5mg/2.5mg/2.5mg in the morning, midday and late afternoon respectively) while planning investigations.

Figure 1. Recommendations for investigating and managing suspected secondary adrenal suppression caused by the interaction between ritonavir/cobicistat and co-prescribed steroids
Corticosteroids and ritonavir/cobicistat should not be switched at the same time without steroid replacement cover or evidence of an intact HPA axis, as there is a significant risk of adrenal suppression. If patients have been switched off ritonavir/cobicistat-boosted ART and steroids simultaneously in error, we advise a hydrocortisone replacement regimen of 20mg/10mg/10mg daily in the morning, midday and late afternoon respectively.
Role of the GP
As front-line clinicians, GPs are usually the first to spot the systemic corticosteroid side-effects in their patients, ie hypertension, weight gain or raised glucose levels. GPs who prescribe and administer steroids to patients with HIV should have a high index of suspicion for drug interactions between steroids and HIV treatment-boosting agents. They should be aware of safe steroid prescribing in the community and how to monitor for systemic corticosteroid-related side-effects in asymptomatic patients. Suggested reasons for referral and referral pathways into secondary care for patients identified with this drug interaction are listed in Table 2.
Table 2. Reasons for referral of patients on ritonavir/cobicistat and co-prescribed steroids to secondary care and recommended referral pathways
It is important that primary care physicians are aware of this rare but important drug interaction that can occur in patients taking HIV-treatment boosting agents and corticosteroids, so that they understand the harm it can cause and proactively monitor those at risk of related side-effects. Providing patients with written information on the type of steroid they are on and its indication, as well as what action to take when feeling unwell, is also extremely important.

AC Milan finally got themselves back into winning ways as this past weekend they defeated Sassuolo at San Siro stadium.
Failing to win their previous three games, Rossoneri were in dire needs of three points as they face up against their bogey team.
Things looking bright for Milan when they earned a spot kick on the half hour mark and resulted in a sending off for Andrea Consigli.
Carlos Bacca converted that penalty to give his team a one goal lead going into half time break.
However, another silly mistake almost cost Milan when Domenic Berardi scored an equalizing goal from a free kick on 53 minutes.
Rossoneri continue to push forward in search for that three points and four minutes from time, they finally got their winner through Luiz Adriano's header.

Playing in the Rain
We had huge downpour this afternoon. It was a warm day and there was no thunder or lightening so I put Aliza in her rubber boots and raincoat and sent her out to play in the rain. She LOVED it. And she was drenched when I heard the first clap of thunder and made her come in (which led to very loud protesting).
We have a new friend in our house, Boz. He likes the rain and sings about he rain and he uses an umbrella in the rain so Aliza thought she needed an umbrella too.
It's so fun to watch her learn new things. And Josiah now has toys hanging from his bouncy chair. He thinks those are pretty neat. His hearing must also be developing nicely because Aliza made him cry with her squealing for the first time today. Oh the joys of having two!

Russian poster for Boris Eifman's ballet "The Pygmalion Effect"
The Pygmalion Effect
Eifman Ballet of Saint Petersburg
Zellerbach Hall
Berkeley, California
A review by Christopher Bernard
Sometimes all I want to do in a review is say "I loved it, I loved it, I loved it" two or three hundred times (enough to fill a couple of pages and one or two smartphone screens), and call it a day. Who wants to analyze something you've just fallen in love with, especially a fairy tale straight out of "My Fair Lady," with a Russian twist, a nod to Ernst Lubitsch, and a Viennese soundtrack? I just want to daydream, go over it in memory, laugh out loud again at the jokes, the galloping music, the inspired moves, the tender sentiments, the big heartedness of it all.
For example, the mysterious opening where a young woman lies curled up on the ground, asleep and abandoned outside a wealthy house, where she is tormented by erotic dreams of a man being worshipped by women, none of whom is herself. And the dream goes on, segueing into what we will learn is a long flashback. Beginning with:
A street suddenly packed with a score or so skittering demimonde types dancing their hearts out, a poor workhorse of a father (danced by a vigorous Dmitry Fisher) putting his daughter, dressed up in drag-prince costume military togs, to work collecting customers for his carriage service. The daughter is a tomboy gamine named Gala (the ravishingly graceful, lithe and witty Lyubov Andreyevna) with the tatterdemalion charm of an Artful Dodger who invents the dance's insouciant heroine out of thin air and the champagne effervescence of a Strauss polka.
Or the Ballroom Contest, watched by an enthralled Gala, where sequins-draped ladies and their sharply attired consorts ravish the stage, trying to out dance each other with an athletic, competitive joyfulness until one of the couples, Leon (a commanding Oleg Gabyshev) and his partner Tea (an Amazonian sex goddess who rules the stage whenever she is on it, Alma Petrovskaya), at the point of achieving supreme perfection, slips and collapses, mortifyingly, across the stage.
Or the organized chaos when Leon, on his way home, is mugged by some of Gala's lowlife confreres, and Gala, still in her boy togs, and showing her street chops to smartly punishing effect, saves the overwhelmed dancer, who, thinking her a good fellow to have in a pinch, takes her home for a post-pugilist celebration.
When lo! he discovers he is a she! Much is made of the attendant confusion. Leon, of course, takes her under his wing. The father finds out and sees an easy way to cadge some rubles via his little girl, and Gala falls ever deeper into an infatuation with the fellow she saved, and Leon, for a laugh, brings the graceless, galumphing, spectacularly over-dressed hobbledehoy to his dance class, where he conceives a bizarre plan to turn this bundle of grotesquerie and unconscious charm into a prize-winning dancer. He bets on it against the scoffing Coach (a properly sneering Igor Subbotin) and proceeds to prove his point.
Though not before nearly conceding defeat as he tries to mold this feckless ne'er-do-well into something half civilized, with not even an iota of success. At which point he gets a brain wave: fit her up with an all-body robotic armature, cap her with a neon helmet, and set her off with a remote control, a la "Die Puppe" ("The Doll," Lubitsche's famous silent film from the 1920s), and let his fingers do her dancing.
Which is just the final push Gala needs to get it, clicking into the dazzling dancer we in the audience have known all along she is, but only now the rest of the ballroom dancing crowd is forced to admit, as she and Leon dance off with the top prize of them all.
But what is this? Leon, our Henry Higgins, the aim and goal now of little Gala's heart, now that he has won his bet, casts her off. What is she to him? A successfully made point. With the arrogance of the "creator," he leaves her to her venal father, her mugger class, her gutter.
But she has been poisoned by her success. She can't return to her old life. She is no longer that, she no longer can do that. She curls up on a street bench, lost between worlds, rejecting what she once was, dreaming futilely of what she might have had and what she might have been. We are back at the beginning. Leon visits her in her dreams. She does not realize he is the cause of her misery as much as of her peak of joy. She has become a prisoner of her love.
Boris Eifman choreographed this supremely charming ballet (which is being given its U.S. premiere in these performances through Cal Performances), and shows that there is still a place for a dance of pure pleasure. I suspect that all, or at least most, of his company, the Eifman Ballet of St. Petersburg, appears, and a more vigorous, graceful, and irresistibly happy group of dancers it would be hard to imagine. (One of the heady joys for an American is seeing this example of the Russian style of ballet dancing at its best: sharp, exuberantly athletic, and romantic, all at the same time. One gets an idea where Balanchine came from.)
The brilliant sets were by Zinovy Margolin, the deliciously louche costumes by Olga Shaishmelashvili. The effortlessly engaging music was, for the most part, by Johann Strauss, Jr., with a few numbers by Josef and Eduard from the same, copiously composing family, and a handsomely judged concluding contrast from tender, truthful, unsentimental Mozart.
Christopher Bernard is co-editor and poetry editor of Caveat Lector. He writes on dance, drama, and art for Synchronized Chaos. His most recent book is the poetry collection Chien Lunatique.
His novel Meditations on Love and Catastrophe at The Liars' Café will be out later this year.

Mohnke calls Schenck is a scene in Downfall which is commonly used in parodies. It occurs fairly early in the film when the Battle of Berlin is in its early phase.
Among the many phone scenes in the film, this one is perhaps the second most sought after in story-driven parodies after the Hitler Phone Scene.
In Downfall
In the building where Ernst-Günther Schenck was when the documents were burned is now deserted, with papers scattered everywhere. A phone is heard ringing, echoing along the empty hallways. Schenck springs into view, running barefoot down the hallway. He picks up the phone with Wilhelm Mohnke on the line. The latter tells the former that he's at the Chancellery Bunker, defending the Government District and he needs help. Schenck tells him that only he and his adjutant, Max Müller, are the only ones in the building. Mohnke asks him if he's a doctor, to which he acknowledges that he's an internist. Mohnke requests Schenck to find a truck and bring him all the morphine, penicillin and first-aid supplies that he can find. Schenck agrees and Mohnke thanks him. Helmuth Weidling is then seen behind Mohnke making his way to the Führerbunker starting the next scene.
In Downfall Parodies
The scene is not widely used on its own instead used for longer parodies. Usually, Mohnke would be calling Schenck, but cases where he calls someone else exists, such as Otto Günsche or Hitler. This is true for Schenck as well.
In thenewyorkcitay's parody (name of parody unknown) about Mohnke being called monkey, he calls Günsche and asks him to spread nasty rumors bout the generals in order to frame and exact revenge on Hitler who called him a monkey early in the parody. In Hitler Kidnaps the Goebbels Children, Mohnke calls Schenck, telling him that he suspects that Hitler is behind the kidnappings.
In Fegelein: The Lost Tapes' The GoebbelMan, Schenck is first called by the GoebbelMan, after which he gets called by Mohnke.
In mfaizsyahmi's Hitler calls Gotye, Schenck gets a phone call from Gotye, who proceeds to sing vulgar words. He hangs up as soon as the other finishes. Schenck also appears in one of mfaizsyahmi's outros, where he rushes to answer the phone only to find out it was Fegelein prank-calling.
In JennieParker87's A strange parody 1, Schenck is seen talking to Hitler on the phone. Hitler complains about a medical issue, which leads to Schenck hanging up in disgust.
Hitler Rants Parodies has made a few phone scene compilation videos, such as Hitler Provides IT Support, where many people are calling Hitler. Both parts of this scene, Mohnke on the phone, and Schenck on the phone, individually, are used in these kinds of parodies.
- In almost all cases Mohnke identifies himself as "Bonkers" in the parodies.

It was another lovely morning and I woke up, stretching my paws and opened my eyes to say hello to happy sunshine, looking through the window.
I was ready for the new adventures. I took a quick shower in a sink, desperately trying to wake up.
Today there was a visit planned to go to a unique place created by Mother Nature called Seven Coloured Earths. I packed a small sandwich with tuna so that I would not be hungry on the way, and started off on the adventure.
I was always interested in everything that was not man-made. The reason for that was that since I had to leave the Arctic due to the Shell company taking away my home, I don't trust man-made things as much as I trust Mother Nature. There was lot of bear families that lived happily in the Arctic before people came in search of black gold, kicking polar bears out of their habitats.
To minimize the harm I used a public bus this time. After having bumped his head couple of times on quite a potholed road to the national park, I arrived to a spectacular viewpoint overlooking the waterfalls. It was a hot sunny day, and I would not be myself if I didn't try to go for a swim in such a nice place. I looked around and didn't notice and signs prohibiting swimming, so I just climbed over the fence and started my way to the waterfall. Approximately 30 seconds later there was a guard, appearing somewhere out of the bushes, saying: "Excuse me, sir. You are not allowed to swim in the waterfall!".
"Why not?" asked Medvedik, not believing his ears. "It is a Natural Wonder protected by the Government!". "You know," answered Medvedik, "if you read the news, you'd know that I am also a natural wonder, unfortunatelly not protected by anyone, because the Arctic belongs to no one, but I think it will be okay if one natural wonder use the other one", said Medvedik with a grin. "I don't think so, sir', answered the guard, unimpressed by Medvedik's speech, and showed him the way back.
"No worries", – I said, and followed the sign showing the way to the next Natural wonder. The sun was shining profoundly, and I was getting a little bit hot, so I turned right to rest in the shade of a tree. I sat down on the grass and took out my tuna sandwich, ready to have a little quite deserved snack.
– Hi, little fellow, you mind sharing that piece of divine smelling lunch you have?
I looked around and saw a gigantic turtle that could eat me right away, so I figured it was a better idea to share my lunch.
– Sure, hello, hi! You can have it, if you want, – Medvedik laughed nervously.
– You look like a nice fellow. You want a ride on an old turtle like me?
– Sounds fantastic, – said little bear, climbing on the turtle's back.
The ride was much less exciting than it sounded, as the turtle was moving very slow and besides, stopping every five meters to eat some grass. I hopped off and saw Seven Coloured Earths right in front of me. The view was absolutely stunning, the colours were playing in my eyes and I felt like I was caught in a rainbow of emotions. I wanted to cover himself with every colour of dust from this Earth and become a colourful bear, but the guard was on the watch, so I was simply enjoying the view, preserving my natural whiteness and thinking about catching up on lunch in the nearest future.

The Dumbarton field is in Quad 15 and is located approximately 140 miles (230km) north east of Aberdeen at a water depth of 140m. It straddles two blocks, 15/20a and 15/20b. The area was originally abandoned by BP in 1998 but reactivated with first oil in 2007. It is serviced by the GPIII floating production, storage and offloading facility (FPSO) which Maersk Oil owns and it also has subsea tiebacks from both Lochranza and Balloch developments. The oil is exported via tanker loading. Gas and NGLs are exported via pipeline to a subsea tie-in at MacCulloch and thereafter to Piper Bravo for further processing.

Organic foods taste wonderful. Organically grown produce that is not adulterated with hormones and chemical pesticides have the good green fresh taste that nature intended.
Most people are amazed to experience what food "really" tastes like when they start switching over to organic. As good as organic foods are for your body, they are even better for our planet.
Organic farming techniques preserve water resources and protect and respect wildlife. Organic farming helps to maintain biodiversity. Organic farmers collect and preserve seeds, and continue to grow many unusual varieties not grown by traditional farms, while at the same time, modern industrial agriculture has led to the obliteration of many species of foods and grains.
The monolithic chemical intensive techniques of conventional agriculture have led to the worst soil erosion in modern history. More than 3 billion tons of topsoil are eroded from U.S. croplands each year according to estimates by The Soil Conservation Service. Organic farming practices, on the other hand, build long-term soil health and stability.
According to the Organic Trade Organization, Organic Farming is saving rural communities and the family farm. The USDA recently reported that more than half of the country's food is grown by only 2% of its farms.
Organic farmers give a chance for small farms to get a fair price in a new and rapidly growing market. According to the Nutrition Business Journal, consumers purchase over 6 billion dollars annually worth of organic products, from staples like milk, eggs, and lettuce to snacks such as cookies and tortilla chips.
And that number is rising dramatically in both natural foods stores and conventional supermarkets at a rate of 20% or more every year since 2000. Whole Foods is rapidly becoming the "in and trendy" place to shop, and even Wal-Mart has a large and expanding section of organic food and home products.
Living An Organic Lifestyle
A published study in the Journal of Applied Nutrition found conclusively that organically grown foods have a higher percentage of vital minerals, vitamins, and other essential nutrients than conventionally grown produce. The study found that organically grown food is 73 percent higher in iron, 63 percent higher in calcium, and 118 percent higher in magnesium.
If you have read some of my other posts about healthy eating and superfoods, then you are familiar with flavonoids and antioxidants. Flavonoids are produced by plants to help them ward off disease and survive in harsh environments. It is also these flavonoids that give most of the Super Foods their anti-cancer and disease-fighting abilities. Studies have shown that the chemicals found in most pesticides inhibit the plant's production of flavonoids. Organically grown berries, for example, are 30% higher in antioxidants than their conventional counterparts.
If you want to have total control over your organic produce and reduce the cost of your organic food bill, you may consider organic gardening as part of your organic lifestyle.
However going organic means more than just food. If you are truly concerned about the health of your loved ones and the planet they live on, you can adopt an "organic lifestyle." That means not only eating organic foods but also wearing clothing made from organic cotton or other naturally grown fibers. Skin especially that of babies and children is particularly susceptible to toxic chemicals. Beds, bed clothes and towels are available made from organic fibers.
Household products are another area to "go organic." There are organic laundry detergents and cleaning products, and organic cosmetics and health and beauty aids. Remember, each organic industry you patronize means that much less environmental damage is done to the planet.
What About the Cost of Going Organic?
Do organic products cost more? Certainly, they do. But what price do you put on the health of your family and the future of the planet? Prudent shoppers can save money on any consumer good, and organic products, especially organic foods are no exception.
With the popularity of organic foods ever expanding, prices are becoming far more competitive. In New York City, for example, Consumer Reports recently found the price of a jar of Earth's Best Organic Baby Food ranging from .69 a jar to $ 1.29.
If you are on a very tight budget, there are certain foods that you absolutely should be buying organic, especially if you have kids and others where the health impact between conventional and organic is not as profound. According to nutritionist Marion Nestle, Ph.D., if you can only consider buying one organic product, it should be milk.
Kids drink a lot of milk. Nestle, the author of What to Eat, says cows reared on organic farms are not filled up with growth hormone, or given antibiotics, or feed loaded with pesticides, which are all substances that affect the health and development of children.
Other "musts" since they consistently have the highest levels of pesticides and chemicals are apples, peaches, strawberries, celery, cherries, bell peppers, spinach, grapes, nectarines, pears, potatoes, and red raspberries. According to several environmental agencies, the foods less likely to retain pesticide residue are bananas, pineapples, broccoli, cauliflower, avocados, asparagus, kiwi, mangos, papaya, onions, and sweet peas.
Shop around for bargains. Consider buying some organic products online, and certainly, consider buying organic produce locally. Almost every community has a local organization of organic farms that hold farmers markets, and generally do not mark up the price on par with supermarkets. The food is not only organic it is very fresh since it has not had to travel, and you will also be doing your share to support your local economy.
And remember, your mom was right when she said to eat your veggies. The surest way to stay healthy and live longer is to eat five servings of fruits and vegetables every day – so why not make them organic, listen to your mom — and help out Mother Earth as well.

Latest Customer Q&A
Can you adjust the grind consistancy on a Peugeot Zephir Electric Pepper Mill?
Hi , I have just bought a Black Peugeot Zephir Pepper Mill from you and I can't work out how to adjust the grind. Also can you adjust the grind on the Peugeot Zephir Salt Mill as I may also buy this?
Thanks for your enquiry. Yes, can adjust the grind on the Peugeot Zephir Electric Pepper Mill. There is a "wheel" at the underneath of the mill which you turn to adjust the grind - as you would turn the top knob on a manually grinding mill. However, on the Zephir Electric Salt Mill, there is no option to adjust the grind. The grind is set at medium, between coarse and fine.

Throughout history, dentists have tried to recreate the function and beauty of natural teeth when tooth structure has been lost. Restoring function used to be the main goal of a dentist because prior to the 1970's, dentistry lacked the proper technology to achieve fine esthetics as well as function. Dentists could only predictably offer patients a restoration that would simply "fill" the empty space. Today, dentistry has more advanced dental materials and newly developed techniques that allow dentists to offer artistically-recreated, natural-looking crowns and modern tooth bonding that would fool even the most critical eye.
Before you can understand how crowns and tooth bonding can mimic teeth you must understand why natural teeth appear as they do.
It is a common mistake for patients to think that their teeth are all one color. Your teeth are never just one color. They are a series of superimposed translucent layers of varying shades. Teeth also have different surface textures that reflect light in ways that affect the color of your teeth.
Your teeth are made up of three layers: pulp, dentin, and enamel. Each layer has a specific thickness, composition and structure. Additionally, the way light reflects off of or transluces through the layers gives you the color of your teeth. Using knowledge about the three layers of teeth allow dentists and dental technicians to recreate natural-looking dental crowns and tooth bonding.
Dental crown technicians are the true artisans in dentistry. Dentists begin the crown-making process by reducing the size of the tooth, making an impression of the reduced tooth, and selecting the proper shades of the tooth. This information is then transferred to the dental technician so a crown can be made.
Dental technicians blend science with artistic knowledge to recreate natural-looking teeth. Artistically, they use frame and reference, proportion and idealism, perspective and illusion as well as symmetry to mimic nature. Understanding the language of colors and using new dental materials and techniques has allowed the dentist to not only "fill" missing spaces but create cosmetic dentistry artwork from crowns and tooth bonding as well.

It is not uncommon for teeth to turn darker in color either before or after being treated with a root canal. Deposition of pigment within the tooth from the nerve, usually due to major trauma, can cause the tooth to turn either gray or brown. What happens is a reactive process causing calcification within the tooth can cause it to turn yellow. The treatment to regain your bright smile now depends on both the type and the severity of the color change.
By far the easiest way to correct the color is by dental bleaching the tooth. The procedure for this is different than for conventional dental bleaching, where you are whitening all of your teeth.
The technique involves your dentist or endodontist placing a small amount of extremely strong dental bleaching material inside the tooth where the nerve was. It is placed through the small hole in your tooth through which the root canal was done. A temporary filling is then placed to seal in the tooth whitening material for three to four days.
The tooth will start to lighten almost immediately, and you will often see improvement on the night that it was placed. You will have to return to your dentist to have the dental bleaching material replaced because its effectiveness decreases over time. It usually takes two to three applications to regain your bright smile.
Once the tooth is lightened, a permanent filling will be placed. This procedure is very stable and it works best for teeth that have turned brown or gray. Even though the tooth color is lightened, it is difficult to obtain a perfect match with your other teeth.
Another treatment option is to use a restoration to cover the tooth to mask the color change. The type of restoration needed will vary depending on how dark the tooth is and how much lighter it needs to be.
For teeth that are slightly to moderately dark, the best restoration is a porcelain veneer. Porcelain veneers are thin restorations that, when bonded to the tooth, can change both its shape and color.
Because of the thinness of the porcelain veneers, the color may show through the veneer if the tooth is too dark. Therefore, they are most successful for treating color changes that are not severe. For extremely dark teeth, a crown may be indicated to help mask the color.
It is important to note that although a crown or veneer may mask the darkness from the tooth, there may still be some darkness from the root that can show slightly through the gum tissue. The effect of this will vary depending on how dark the tooth is and the type of gum tissue.
A darker tooth with thinner gum tissue is more likely to have the dark color show through than a lighter tooth with thicker gum tissue. This darkness may not be a factor if the lip does not move up high enough to show the area at the gum line when smiling. If it does show and is an issue, the treatment will most likely need to include dental bleaching of the tooth, as previously discussed, with or without a restoration.

friday we finally bought 2 of the cutest little bunnies i've ever seen. the breed is " Teddy Widder" and they sure look like alive stuffed animals! they are already very very tame. they come to you, want to sit with you and love it when you pet them. so. the perfect little buggers for our muppets :)
this is "snuffie" (i know in English this may sound a bit weird, but believe me it's more like "little sniffer"). it's a girl and she's very very relaxed and calm. exactly like Sanne. she immediately crawled onto Sanne's lap and laid her paws like this. i say hilarious.
and meet "Kuffie". that's actually something Ruben made up. and it makes me laugh. Ruben was a bit hesitate with Kuffie. Ruben was also very very tired after a long hour drive (1,5 to get there, and 1,5 hour to get back). we simply are not used to drive that long, so he was pooped... but Kuffie is very very nosy and already jumping around happily in his "cage". he's exploring everything. so his personality is exactly like Ruben. the fun!
so they sit here most of the day. petting, loving and talking to their 'babies'.
they both love to sit like this. for. like. evah!
and they are more the exploring kind. so fun to watch Ruben interact with his pal!
but this little lady seriously is too cute to be true. she really comes to Sanne and than crawl into her lap. i so hope they'll have this longlasting friendship!
and me? you simply have to forgive me for taking a gazillion pictures and posting them! i feel in love. with my 2 muppets & my 2 new furry friends.
life is good. lets hug!

Pham-tastic: Cards rookie thumps Brewers
MILWAUKEE -- Rookie outfielder Tommy Pham homered twice -- and nearly made it a hat trick -- while driving in four runs, Jaime Garcia pitched into the seventh inning and the Cardinals made it a bona fide winning streak by beating the Brewers, 5-4, Wednesday night for their third straight victory after losing eight of their previous 10 games.
The Cardinals won for the eighth time in Garcia's last nine starts and increased their lead in the National League Central to four games over the Pirates, who lost to the Cubs in 12 innings shortly after Trevor Rosenthal struck out the side in the bottom of the ninth inning to seal his 45th save.
Pham also tripled as part of the best game of his budding big league career. His three hits matched a career high, and his two home runs, four RBIs and 11 total bases set new personal bests. He homered twice off Brewers starter Wily Peralta as the Cardinals built a 5-0 lead by the top of the fourth inning, and narrowly missed hitting his third home run of the game when he flied out to the deepest part of the ballpark in the eighth.

"We're real happy we're able to put a young player in and watch him make the adjustments," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said of Pham. "He's been doing some work trying to figure out some holes and figure out the league. He has obvious power. He's just an exciting player."
• More: Garcia rebounds from lone hiccup
Making his case: Pham has displayed a unique skill set during his short time in the big leagues, but he may find playing time hard to come by when the Cardinals return to full strength. Starting in left field Wednesday, Pham showed why he's an intriguing postseason roster candidate. He put the Cardinals on the board with a two-run home run to dead center field in the second inning and connected to left-center in the fourth. After going 93 at-bats between his first and second home runs, Pham homered in three straight at-bats dating back to Sunday. The streak was snapped in the sixth inning when he tripled against Brewers reliever Tyler Cravy.

"It is better than not contributing, I can tell you that," Pham said. "The first time I got called up I struggled. When I got sent back down I was really disappointed with myself. Now that I'm doing a little bit more, it is just a blessing."
• Bauman: Pham shows Cards' talent depth
Opportunity knocks: Jonathan Lucroy's lingering concussion has meant a series of starts for backup catcher Martin Maldonado, who made his mark at the plate and in the field Wednesday. In the fourth inning, he followed Elian Herrera's bloop RBI single with a three-run home run as the Brewers shaved a 5-0 deficit to 5-4 in the span of two Garcia pitches. Maldonado later saved a run with some hustle, retrieving a Kyle Lohse wild pitch in the ninth inning just before it bounced into the Brewers' dugout. Lohse wound up escaping the jam.

"[Maldonado] made it a game," Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. "The bullpen put up five zeros after that. Cravy, [Cesar] Jimenez and Kyle [Lohse] did a nice job, and Maldy helped get them through it. But we didn't have a big scoring opportunity after that inning."

Finding redemption: The last time Jonathan Broxton took the mound at Miller Park, the veteran reliever surrendered a go-ahead home run to Brewers left fielder Khris Davis in St. Louis' 5-4 loss on Aug. 9. Facing his former team for the second time since being traded to the Cardinals on July 31, Broxton worked a perfect eighth inning Wednesday with some help from Pham, whose over-the-shoulder catch ended the frame with the Cardinals' one-run lead intact. Broxton, who had a 5.89 ERA in 40 games with the Brewers, has a 2.50 ERA in 19 outings with St. Louis.

• More: Peralta says health not to blame for struggles
"We're playing the best team in baseball. You have to play a pretty darn good game to beat them. We know that. It doesn't matter to me that it's the Cardinals. When you're playing the best team in baseball, you better play a good game to win the game. We've done some good things the last two nights but not enough to beat a good team." -- Counsell

Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina wore the golden sombrero for the first time in his career, striking out four times for the first time in 1,548 regular-season and postseason games. Before Wednesday, Molina had struck out more than twice in a game only three times.
"He had a rough night," Matheny said.

Brewers fans cheered when Hall of Famer Robin Yount's 60th birthday was noted on the Miller Park scoreboard. Dubbed "The Kid" when he broke into the big leagues as an 18-year-old in 1974, Yount played his entire 20-year career in Milwaukee and is universally considered the best player in franchise history.
"It's hard to believe" he is 60, said Counsell, who grew up in Milwaukee. "Robin's had an impact on my life, a lot. Watching him play was a great joy. Always, though, his humility -- more than watching him play -- has always been the greatest thing he's taught me."

Cardinals: John Lackey will pitch the series finale Thursday at 7:10 p.m. CT. The veteran right-hander will be making his team-leading 30th start of the season and his fourth start of 2015 against Milwaukee. Lackey's 2.36 ERA since June 15 ranks fifth among Major League pitchers.
Brewers: Milwaukee hopes to have home run and RBI leader Ryan Braun back in the lineup for Thursday's series finale after Braun missed a start Wednesday with a tight back. He's just 4-for-16 lifetime against Lackey with a double and three singles. Scheduled starter Jimmy Nelson is 0-4 with a 8.72 ERA in five career appearances against the Cardinals, including two starts this season.

Paul Pierce doesn't see anybody beating the Warriors this season in the playoffs
Boston Celtics legend and current ESPN NBA analyst Paul Pierce doesn't see anyone dethroning the Golden State Warriors this season.
The Warriors enter Tuesday with a record of 26-14, good for second place in the Western Conference. Golden State has won two-straight championships and three out of the last four Finals.
Although the Warriors haven't looked as dominant this season as they have in past years, Paul Pierce doesn't believe there is a team that can defeat them come postseason time.
"They will be the favorites until somebody knocks them off," Pierce exclusively told Express Sport. "I don't see anybody else emerging as a potential favorite. To be the champ you have got to knock off the champ.
"They are going to get healthy, they are going to get DeMarcus Cousins, when he gets healthy. That is going to add even more depth.
"It is just hard for me to see Golden State losing four games out of seven in the playoffs."
DeMarcus Cousins is still recovering from his Achilles tear, but once he comes back, the Warriors will have five All-Stars in their starting lineup. Right now, it just looks like Golden State is getting bored with the process of a long regular season.
Once the postseason begins, though, expect the Warriors to turn it on to another level.

Bad credit borrowers are quite unfortunate to get car loans at high interest rates only. Despite this condition, these borrowers would still sign the papers to purchase a car. This is because most of these borrowers are desperate about buying a car so they can efficiently go about their daily tasks. In this case when a car is urgently needed even if the credit has not been improved yet, bad credit borrowers should take note of the following tips so they could still be able to save despite a high interest rate.
Bad credit auto loan Nashville lenders usually get impressed when a borrower says that he or she is willing to make a bigger down payment. This is actually advantageous for the borrower's succeeding payments. A big down payment makes the monthly payments smaller because there is only a small amount remaining in the total loan amount. Since there are smaller amounts to pay every month, the interest charged on each monthly payment would also be relatively smaller. This is how borrowers can save money on bad credit auto loans by making a big down payment.
Another way to nullify the effects of the high interest rates on a borrower's budget is having a co-signer. Bad credit auto loan Nashville lenders consider a loan application with co-signer more than other bad credit loan applications. A co-signer should have a good credit and should be willing to give some financial aid to the borrower when the borrower is already having a hard time making payments for the loan. A lender could give a more favorable rate to borrowers with co-signers.
Borrowers can save up more money when borrowers choose a shorter loan term. Such length would make the monthly payments bigger—unless the borrower made a bigger down payment—but borrowers would be paying less interest because there are only fewer months to make payments. It is in this way that borrowers can save in choosing a short loan term.
Bad credit auto loan Nashville borrowers should also strive to improve their credit before they apply for a car loan and during the loan term. If the car purchase is not that urgent, car buyers could take some time first to improve their credit. They could clear out all existing loans and debts first. In this way, they could get more favorable terms if they would be able to have a better credit. In another case, borrowers who immediately took a bad credit car loan should make the most out of the opportunity by making payments on time to improve their credit.

About Book
Book Description
Early twentieth-century short story collection by Edna Ferber, the American, novelist, author and playwright whose novels generally featured a strong female as the protagonist, although she fleshed out multiple characters in each book. She usually highlighted at least one strong secondary character who faced discrimination ethnically or for other reasons; through this technique, Ferber demonstrated her belief that people are people and that the non-so-pretty persons have the best character.
Download Description
This was Orville Platt's method of attack: first, he chipped off the top, neatly. Then he bent forward and subjected it to a passionate and relentless scrutiny. Straightening--preparatory to plunging his spoon therein--he flapped his right elbow. It wasn't exactly a flap; it was a pass between a hitch and a flap, and presented external evidence of a mental state.

Over the next year, Harbin Clinic announces a number of changes to medical practice locations in Floyd County, and plans to build and occupy a new medical office building designed specifically for women and children. Throughout these renovations and changes, patients can be sure that the high level of quality care they have come to expect from Harbin Clinic will remain the same.
In late February, Urology will relocate to the 504 building on Redmond Road, providing this busy practice with much-needed expansion space. The Heart Center will continue to reside in the 504 building.
Later this year, Harbin Clinic will also relocate several practices in the 1825 Martha Berry Boulevard building. Pulmonary Medicine, the Sleep Center and the Lab will each move into refreshed space. These moves will enable Orthopedics to return to the 1825 building in early 2020, in a new space custom-designed to meet the special needs of their patients.
In addition to these renovations, Harbin Clinic is in the planning stages for a new medical office building to be situated at the corner of Woodrow Wilson Way and John Maddox Drive. Current designs call for the majority of medical care for women and children to be located in this new building, including Ansley Park Pediatrics, Harbin Clinic Women's Center and Harbin Clinic Pediatrics.
"With any change at the clinic, our goal is to provide timely, proactive communications and the very best experience for patients," said Harbin Clinic CEO Kenna Stock. "We will post periodic updates on our website as we get more information and the construction process evolves."

Giving your dog a variety of meats and vegetables ensures that they get a full range of nutrients and helps prevent food boredom. So instead of constantly choosing chicken and beef snacks for your dog, why not broaden their horizons with venison? Venison (deer meat) is high in protein, but has less cholesterol, fat and calories than beef. It's also a rich source of B vitamins (vital for energy levels and a healthy nervous system) and important minerals such as iron, phosphorus, selenium, zinc, and copper. As a unique protein, it can also be a good choice for dogs with allergies and intolerances. Finally – it's delicious!

The Humanitas Chair in Media has been made possible by the generous support of the Blavatnik Family Foundation
Lecture 2: Social Movements in the Internet Age (1)
Social movements and political insurgency in our time are largely based on the capacity to construct communicative autonomy by the use of mass self-communication, namely the Internet and wireless communication. To be sure, the sources of social mobilization are in the situation of oppression, exploitation, humiliation, and powerlessness that people suffer around the world. However, the capacity to overcome repression and incommunication depends on the ability to seize the opportunity of the spark of indignation against an intolerable act from the powers that be to connect with other minds over the networks, and from there to come together in the urban space forming a rebellious community of practice. The process of formation of these networked social movements is analyzed and illustrated by a brief, yet documented empirical analysis of the revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt in 2011.

Well, how you all doing??
If there is one thing I am trying to do regularly but failing miserably is doing regular blog posts 🤦🏻♀. But hey let's discuss about my motherhood later, and focus on the topic. Today I am going to talk about Self Sufficient Eyeshadows, means just by using a single eyeshadow you are good to go. There are so many of these kind in the market, I own some of the wonderful shades which I really like.
I strongly suggest you guys to invest on the eyeshadows which can add a little bit of depth and can be easily worn on the eyelids. Go for the shadows with satin finish or matte finish for the crease, on the eyelid you can use any textured eyeshadow even some shimmery shadows make a statement. You can also pick some dual tone eyeshadows like this Makeup Geek Insomnia which is having a wonderful red undertone that adds depth to the crease. I also prefer to use cream eyeshadows for a quick swipe, they make a wonderful base for other shadows too. I often like to choose bronze and metallic gold shades for this purpose, as they go with almost every lipstick colour and appropriate for both day and night looks.
So if you are a working woman or a minimalist, invest in some self sufficient eyeshadows, I am sure you are going to do eye makeup everyday.
Until next time,
Stay happy ♥♥♥

It's 6 degrees Celsius and I'm tottering around Hamilton Gardens, filming my Miss Pin Up NZ entry video and freezing my butt off. Gaggles of tourists point and take supposedly sneaky photos of me. But can you blame them? This 1940's sundress is gorgeous!
Photographed in the perfectly dreamy Italian Garden this summer outfit is what I'd wear on an idyllic Italian holiday. The kind where I stroll around iconic sites in chic vintage clothes ( a pinup can dream right? ). I chose 1940's inspired victory rolls and a chignon for my hairstyle, as updo's are elegant pinup perfection and having my hair down makes me far too hot and sticky in the summer!
The Outfit
The dusty mauve dress features a floral pattern in black, white and blue, with a self covered belt. The most darling strap & button detail adorns the upper arm. I'm not going to lie, when I saw that shoulder detail at Rose's Decadia Vintage clothing sale I snatched it right off the rack, even if it is a little too big! Like my mama always says " you'll grow into it one day".
To complete my dream Roman holiday outfit I accessorized with a black vintage Yvette Tresor straw hat, 1950s crotchet gloves, Pretty Polly backseam nylon stockings and Alonso Andretti leather shoes. Apart from the hosiery all my accessories were thrifted by myself or my mother, an undisputed op shop queen and my first stop for shoot accessories!
Fashion fact: Milliner Yvette Tresor was based in Christchurch from the 1950's to the 1970's. Collections of her hats are owned by the Auckland War Memorial Museum and Te Papa Museum!
