Easter 2020, 2021 and 2022
Good Friday, Holy Saturday, Resurrection Sunday, and Easter Monday form both a holy remembrance of the death and resurrection of Christ and a long weekend off work in Finland.

In Finland, Easter time brings a strange mix of Christian, pagan, and secular traditions. Church services, family dinners, and general vacationing are all a part of the scene. Finally, Norse pagan traditions, even if few now hold to the beliefs behind them, continue to be a part of the Easter season.
A large majority of Finns are Evangelical Lutherans, but both that church and the Orthodox Church share the status of national churches in Finland. Only one percent of the people are Orthodox, and yet, their ornate Easter services are flooded with Lutherans and foreign tourists every year. In fact, some parishes have even been known to start selling tickets to these religious events, and Orthodox Easter traditions have greatly influenced the Lutheran majority.
During Holy Week, events of the life of Christ are preached, sung, and symbolically reenacted. On Maundy Thursday, holy communion is held. On Good Friday, the death and burial of Jesus Christ is remembered. Holy Saturday sees midnight vigils where people await "the triumph of light over darkness." Easter Sunday itself is considered the holiest day on the Christian calendar and a day of great joy and celebration.
At one time, Lutherans' emphasis on the sufferings of Christ led them to restrict work, cooking, and visiting friends on Good Friday. Public entertainment was virtually forbidden, often by acts of the government. Recently, much of this legislation and attitude has softened.
Today, many Finns are very secular, in fact, and do not even attend church during the Easter season. Nonetheless, they enjoy the many Passion plays, which are performed on city streets, and take part in many other Easter activities.
To a degree, Easter in Finland resembles Easter in other Christian lands, but it is also unique in many ways. Commercialisation has filled stores with chocolate bunnies, ornate chocolate eggs, and colourful Easter baskets, and Finns do send Easter cards and go on Easter egg hunts. However, some of their more unusual traditions include:
- Children dress up like witches on Holy Saturday and light huge bonfires in an effort to rid the land of real witches and other evil spirits, which are known by the Finnish name "trulli." Old Norse legends had these trulli sailing about on broom sticks and hurting valuable cattle out in the fields. Today, no one believes in trulli anymore, but the tradition has become too deeply ingrained to be halted.
- Families plant rye grass in small pots, which are filled with Easter eggs once the grass has grown. They also bring budding twigs inside their houses, and in this way, symbolise the new life that arrives in the spring.
- Among the decorations that adorn Finnish homes, yellow daffodils are prominent. Their appearance in spring and their bright colour makes them seem appropriate in this season of joy.Families gather to eat Easter dinner on Sunday. Lamb is the traditional main dish, but ham, blood sausage, baked cheese, and poultry are also common. A thick, porridge-like pudding called "Mämmi" is eaten during Lent, but it gives way to a full feast when Easter Sunday finally arrives.
- A full seven weeks before Easter, the Finnish equivalent of Mardi Gras occurs. It is called "Laskiainen," and it is a day of sledding through the snow and eating things like pea soup and hot buns with delicious fillings like whipped cream, jams, and almond butter. It was once thought that eating hearty would guarantee a good harvest in the following year, but today, Laskiainen is associated with the commencement of Lent, the soon-to-come spring, and winter sports activities.
Easter Events in Finland
Four important events that everyone visiting Finland around Easter may wish to experience are:
- The Way of the Cross (Via Crucis) Passion play in Helsinki. On Good Friday, a theatrical parade reenacts events of Jesus' life as the actors march from the city centre on their way to the Central Cathedral. There are often thousands of attendees, so it will be a crowded show but one well worth witnessing.
- Lutheran churches across the land will sing the Passion story as presented in Bach's two musical arrangements based on the Gospel of John and Matthew. These concert performances draw great crowds to church, even those who do not normally consider themselves religious.

Swing dresses are my jam. I have this exact dress in 3 colors. No lie. Red, black, and grey. They're just so easy to throw on any time and I don't even notice that I'm wearing them. That's a good dress in my book. Oh, and it's only $37. That makes it's awesome, too.
swing dress, utility jacket (similar here), jeffrey campbell booties, christina jervey gold cuff c/o
old bag (awesome similar bags here), lizzie fortunato necklace (similar), urban decay lips in crush
I'm laughing so hard here b/c it's hot as shit here in Charleston and it was ridiculous that I was pretending to wear a jacket. All for y'all. But I don't have to tell y'all that utility jackets are cool, do I?
Okay, so these Jeffrey Campbell booties. They're my favorite bootie I've ever had. I'm in love. They're the greatest little casual bootie, comfortable, pretty color (they come in black too), and are not 5 trillion dollars. Oh, and you can fold them down or leave them up, love a versatile look. I'm going to really dig these folded down with jeans this fall.
I wish that J.Crew sequin bag was still available, it's one of my favorites. But I think this is a good substitute. But that Christina Jervey gold cuff is still available, it's one of my most favorite bracelets. Goes with everything.
Like I said above, swing dresses are my jam. I also really like this high neck version and this floral print.

Insider Scoop: Airbrush Makeup
By Britt Cunningham
Kylie from Makeup Style Melbourne is a pro when it comes to Airbrush makeup. She has worked in the beauty industry for over 20 years in various capacities including training, PR, product development and sales. Her own freelance business, Makeup Style Melbourne, was founded years ago to offer a full freelance service for brides, special occasion makeup and hair, and training. Kylie loves the ability to bring convenience and ease to her clients, by providing full hair and makeup services at their location of choice. Following the success of Makeup Style Melbourne, she has also founded Makeup Style Gippsland, which looks after Victoria's Gippsland area.
Her innovation and experience within the industry means she is the perfect person to shed some light on this somewhat mysterious form of makeup application that could become your new favourite technique!
BF: What is Airbrush Makeup and how does it work?
Kylie: Airbrush makeup produces a fine mist that enables the makeup to sit evenly on your skin. Airbrush foundation provides flawless coverage (sheer or opaque) by minimising skin imperfections, resulting in beautifully natural look. Makeup is sprayed on using an airbrush gun and a compressor, rather than applied with a sponge or brush.
BF: Why did you start learning about and using Airbrush Makeup?
Kylie: I have always been passionate about the makeup industry and pride myself on sourcing innovative products that keep up with industry trends. I started airbrushing around 20 years ago- many people don't realise it has been around for at least 30 years. I wanted a cutting edge point of difference to offer to my clients that would take their look to the next level. Airbrushing has seemed to grow in popularity in the last few years with the introduction of digital media.
BF: How is the result of Airbrush Makeup different to other forms of foundation?
Kylie: Airbrush often feels lighter on the skin, which many people find more comfortable to wear throughout the day. Airbrush makeup is perfectly compatible with high definition TV and photography, and is therefore popular with those in the media industries. However, this means it is also perfect for brides who are having their day captured through photography and videography.
BF: Who can benefit from using Airbrush Makeup?
Kylie: Anyone can benefit from this versatile makeup! As it is long wearing, it is a perfect option for brides, and those who work in TV. On a day-to-day basis, it is fantastic for women who wear makeup to work and don't want to worry about touching up their makeup during the day.
BF: What are the main advantages of Airbrushed Makeup compared to traditional forms of makeup?
Kylie: The main advantages are that it is longer lasting than traditional foundation, it is light on the skin, creates a flawless finish, and works beautifully with digital media. It is also fabulous for tattoo coverage and wonderful to use for special effects makeup.
BF: What do you love about Airbrush Makeup?
Kylie: I love that it is not tested on animals and is water resistant, silicone free and free of Parabens. I love how quick it is to use, and its versatility. It is also much more hygienic as you are not using brushes and is suitable to use on sensitive skin.
To discover more about this flawless makeup application technique, contact Kylie here today for more information.

In a weekly post, we'll talk about where teams in the NFC East sit after each weekend of play.
1. Washington Redskins (8-7) — The Redskins have continued to win while everyone else in the division has continued to lose, and Washington is winning on the road, which they had enormous trouble doing for much of the season. Their most recent win was a domination of the Eagles behind another masterful outing from quarterback Kirk Cousins. And yes, the Redskins are now NFC East champions. Crazy. Next up: Sunday, noon, at Dallas Cowboys.
2. New York Giants (6-9) — They get Odell Beckham back, so that's a big plus. They finish things out at home against the now-coachless Eagles, so that's why we put them ahead of Philly in this final installment. Next up: Sunday, noon, vs. Philadelphia Eagles.
Sports Connection
Connecting you to your favorite North Texas sports teams as well as sports news around the globe.
3. Philadelphia Eagles (6-9) — Chip Kelly is gone. Sam Bradford sucks. The Eagles are an absolute mess. Next up: Sunday, noon, at New York Giants.
4. Dallas Cowboys (4-11) — What a mess. A loss could give the Cowboys the second pick in the draft. Not saying you throw a game, but... Next up: Sunday, noon, vs. Washington Redskins.

One of the few concerns about FreeBSD when trying to use it as a desktop is its support for common web browsing.
Unfortunately Adobe's Flash is still in use in many sites currently, and not all the videos in Youtube are available to be played with html5 video.
The frustration comes when one installs the pipelight plugin, which uses wine with the Windows version of the Flash plugin. When trying to play a Youtube video, it crashes. But there is hope. As root:
# cd /usr
# rm -fr src obj
# pkg install svnup
# svnup stable
# cd src
# echo "CFLAGS+=-mstackrealign" >> /etc/make.conf
# make build32
# make install32
# pkg install pipelight
# pipelight-plugin --update
# pipelight-plugin --create-mozilla-plugins
# pipelight-plugin --enable flash
Stop any browsers and run, as your non-root user:
$ find .mozilla -name pluginreg.dat # Delete the found file(s)
The problem should be solved now.

The Mercedes-Maybach S600 Guard was recently launched in th Indian market at a whooping price of Rs.10.5 Crore (ex-showroom). But more than the title, it is its second title "safest car on earth" which intrigues everyone's interest in it. The S600 Guard is a "fortress on wheels" with highest ballistics protection class known as VR9. Along with, the car comes with top notch comfort and luxury features which include a super powerful V12 mill, highly intelligent driver assistance system, extraordinary AIRMATIC suspension, and much more. However, the most noteworthy point is its best-in-class ballistic protection (VR9) that can stand against rifle fire from military weapons and special protection from explosive charges and grenades. So, what exactly makes it the safest car on this planet, let's find out:
The armouring of S600 Guard is based on special integrated protection which also happens to be Mercedes-Benz forte. At the bodyshell stage, special steel protective parts are instilled between the outer skin and skeleton of the car. Specific PE and aramide components offer extra insulation from splinters. The car also has intelligent overlapping systems at appropriate points that offer extended ballistic protection.
Another important part of its protection is the glass areas. The glasses used in this car are coated on inner level with polycarbonate which keeps them safe from splinters. The laminated structure offer exceptional visual quality to the windshields and windows. Merc has given special attention to protection of glass areas as these are the most vulnerable points when car is on move.
Along with best protection, the S600 Guard also brings the highest class of luxury to its owners. It can be availed in both 4-seater as well as 5-seater avatars. The interiors mirror the S-Class with EASY ADJUST luxury seats, leg rests for all seats, Chauffer package, Rear Seat Comfort package, and seat heating Plus, ENERGIZING massage function, and optional First-Class rear suite that can transform the rear section of your car in a mobile office.
Last but not the least, the combination of luxury and safety is met by compatible power generator of this car which is a V12 petrol engine. It yields power worth 530hp against a peak torque of 830Nm. The power train is completed by a 7G-TRONIC automatic gearbox.

2010 Spring Update
Invitation from Managing Partner Ray Goff
It's hard to believe that seven years have passed since we first opened our tasting room doors and began selling our wines from the North 13th Avenue tasting room in Walla Walla. I want to personally thank each of you for your support of our wines. You have been instrumental in helping Amavi Cellars not only survive in these tough times… but also become a nationally recognized label in a very, very short time!
I also want to thank you for sharing my family's passion for the "old log cabin" tasting room interior that came from my ranch in north-central Montana. We have enjoyed "bellying up to the bar" for more than a few glasses of wine with you over the years. But now it's time for us to upgrade your wine experience by providing you a new tasting room closer to the estate vineyards that are the heart and soul of the Amavi Cellars wines you have so steadfastly supported.
You have seen the plans for the new tasting room… and now, beginning with the April 30 – May 1 "Release Weekend", please come visit us located at 3796 Peppers Bridge Road, a few miles south of Walla Walla. Expect what you have received from us in the past: world-class wines and genuine hospitality from my family, the McKibbens, Patty, Jean-François... well, the entire team. The only difference is that now you can enjoy our new releases while enjoying spectacular views of the valley and the mountains.
Please come join us! I look forward to seeing you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you,
Ray Goff
Spring Release Offerings
Another reason to visit us soon... come taste the 2009 Rose and 2009 Sémillon, which will be released April 30. We also will have on hand a thrilling new wine for club members, our inaugural Ceres. The Ceres wine will vary year to year based on Jean-François' choice. This year the Ceres is half Syrah and half Cabernet Sauvignon and fully delicious! Along with a new club wine we have some exciting changes for club members so be sure to read about them in your club newsletter coming soon!
Woodinville Tasting Room Opening Soon
Yes, the word on the street is true. We are opening another tasting room in Woodinville, just outside of Seattle, next to Bookwalter, Mark Ryan, and Ross Andrew. We are tentatively scheduled to open June 1. Located at 4810 NE 145th St. Suite A-3, we are going to be part of a wonderful group of wineries in a very hip neighborhood. We are making plans for an open house, so please keep your eyes on our website or Facebook for the dates. We'd love for you to join us for the opening celebration.
Simple concept, big deal: Bottling truckThis year we are proud to show off our newest addition to the team, the bottling truck! This truck allows us to have even more control over our winemaking process. We can bottle the moment Jean-François is ready to pull wines from the barrel, instead of having to wait for the "hired" bottling truck which could sometimes be anywhere from weeks to months.
The truck was custom built by Marty Lynch, yep -- that's Patty's hubby-- for Amavi and Pepper Bridge. Marty manages and operates the truck, bringing an attention to detail and a great sense of humor!

Anti-hunters and animal activists have some much hate for hunters that they are willing to kill for it, literally placing 'bounties' (what is this, the wild west?) on hunters' heads.
You could say these people are insane, because they hate 'killing' animals so much they're going to kill for it.
That sounds like fascism; forcing your world views on the lives of strangers through murder… doesn't it?
If you really think about it, these people are borderline ISIS terrorists.
Trending: Man Shoots Buck Only to Find It Has Two Heads – But Not In The Way You Think!
BIG game hunter has revealed she received over 1000 hate messages in an HOUR when Cecil the lion was shot and once had a bounty of £40,000 on her head.
Speaking in the week that huntress Melania Capitan was found dead in a suspected suicide, after being targeted online, American Olivia Nalos Opre has opened up about the abuse and death threats she had suffered.
The mum-of-four told The Sun Online: "I've had £40,000 ($50,000) bounty on my head with my home address posted and constant abuse and threats.
"I didn't know Melania but I understand her struggle because it's something I have dealt with for decades, but the hatred is entirely due to ignorance. –The Sun
Via Clash Daily: So it will become national news if a teenage girl is bullied online and is shown to have committed suicide. Will there be a similar outcry if it turns out that this was suicide, and that she was harassed and threatened?
What about 'A-list' comics publicly picking on thirteen-year-old girls who hunt? Does he get a pass for his cruelty to a minor just because he's 'funny' and 'edgy'? (Looking at YOU Ricky Gervais.)
Or this guy going for the cheap laughs.
Forget the fact that the teen Gervais mocked fed 800 orphans (check the link!) with one kill.
Forget the role in the 'circle of life' that hunters play in keeping everything in balance.
Nope. The same people who will defend the most ridiculously lewd acts and behavior, and participate in 'slut walks' will turn around and shame a hunter for doing with people have literally done for millennia beyond counting.
These 'social justice warriors' will cry over the death of a lion, and threaten the death of a stranger for killing it.
If anyone deserves to be shamed, it would be the activist losers. If they ever want to pull their head out of their backsides and join the real world, put this in their hands.
Hunters worldwide need to stick together and defend each other from these lunatics.
Enough is enough.
The suicide of Melania should be a wake-up call these 'activists' have gone too far.

Reflexology on dogs
Animals loves all kind of healing and there are many different methods for both souls and animals to achieve healing. Reflexology works in the same way as acupuncture, but you treat with your fingers instead of needles.The advantage is that you can never hurt anyone with reflexology. Needles can cause damage.
Reflexology is very effective on dogs, but it can provide a deep cleansing such as loose stomach / diarrhea, dark urine and tiredness. However, the dog can also go directly to well-being. If your dog is on cortisone, it should take at least 2 weeks after the cure is completed before a Reflexology treatment begins.
Animals release their blockages faster than us people because they live more in the present.
Horses and dogs usually fart or yawning when blockages releases.
Before a treatment, take a walk with your dog at least for 30 minutes - 1 hour. Avoid giving food immediately before a treatment (but the dog should not be hungry). After the treatment, give the dog access to a lot of fresh water and do a short walk with your dog again (15 minutes) and then let the dog rest.
Below, I will show you some points you can work with if your dog has some kind of ear infection problems. if you can Reiki, please activate Reiki to the dog after the treatment.
Remember to always visit the veterinarian to ensure the correct diagnosis.
Treat the ear that is in imbalance every day for 10 days. For prevention, you treat 2 days a week. Always remember to be easy on the hand with light pressure and circular movements.
You can also book a distance Reiki session for your animals with Ann, you will also receive a healing session and you can ask 5 questions that you woundering about your animal. Ann will convey feed back through Whats up.
To book a distance Reiki treatment for your animal please contact Ann on Whats up +505 7778 2227 or send her an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com

ALISON STEWART: In many ways Sheena is a typical
30-year-old North Carolina mom — she spends a good part of her day shuttling around her
two boys, 5-year-old Kiefer to kindergarten SHEENA: I love you! ALISON STEWART: and 18-month-old Rohan to
day care. But another part of Sheena's routine is
going to the Horizons clinic at the University of North Carolina, in Chapel Hill for a urine
drug test. RECEPTIONIST: Hey Sheena, what's going on? SHEENA: Coming to pee! ALISON: How many times do you have to go get
drug tested? SHEENA: Right now, it's three times a week. ALISON: So this is just part of your life
as a mom. You go take a drug test, and you pick up your
son. SHEENA: Yup ALISON: And that's just the way life is
right now. SHEENA: Oh yeah ALISON STEWART: Sheena is recovering from
an 11-year addiction to opioids that included painkillers and heroin. We agreed not to use her last name. She now attends classes and therapy sessions
that help her stay clean, and her daily regimen includes taking medication to prevent withdrawal. SHEENA: If I were to not take it, it starts
to quickly increase in getting worse — the withdrawal symptoms. ALISON STEWART: She says her older brother
introduced her to opioids when she was 17. SHEENA: He had gotten some pain pills, painkillers,
from our grandfather and I loved the way it made me feel. I was happy. The time flew by. ALISON STEWART: In her early 20's, Sheena
says she stopped using opioids when she met her boyfriend. At 24, she became pregnant. And during a difficult childbirth she was
given intravenous Fentanyl, an opioid painkiller, by a doctor who didn't know about her addiction. Discharged with a prescription for another
opioid painkiller, Percocet, she relapsed. Sheena continued using opioids for the next
three and a half years. Even when she and her boyfriend found out
she was pregnant again. ALISON STEWART: So, you were actively addicted
when you became pregnant with your second son? SHEENA: Yes. ALISON STEWART: Did you use while you were
pregnant? SHEENA: Yes. ALISON STEWART: How often? SHEENA: Every day. Just to get out of bed I had to have opiates. I was just in a place of complete self-hate. I hated myself. ALISON STEWART: Almost five months pregnant,
Sheena went to see Elisabeth Johnson at Horizons, which used to treat mostly cocaine abuse in
pregnant women. Now, it's almost all opioid abuse. ELISABETH JOHNSON: Were you taking prescription
pills? (patient nods) Yeah. Were you buying them mostly? PATIENT: And sometimes I was using heroin,
because it was cheaper. ALISON STEWART: Johnson previously worked
for a pain clinic, and has seen first-hand the effects of powerful opioids like Oxycodone. They have been increasingly prescribed over
the past 15 years as doctors began treating pain more aggressively. ALISON STEWART: Is it quite simply easier
to get opioids now than it used to be? ELISABETH JOHNSON: I think that it is in that
they have been prescribed so often. There is plenty of evidence in the literature
that women are far more likely than men to be given prescriptions for opioids for chronic
pain conditions. So I do think that a lot of it starts in a
very well-meaning primary care office, or pain provider's office. ALISON STEWART: Each year between 2008 and
2012, on average, more than one-quarter of reproductive age women with private insurance
— and more than one-third of those enrolled in Medicaid — filled a prescription for
opioid painkillers. In 2014, 4. 8 million women reported nonmedical or illicit
use of prescription opioids. And the number of pregnant women receiving
treatment for opioid abuse more than doubled between 2000 and 2012. April, who lives in Tennessee, is one of those
women. She didn't want us to use her last name
or show her face to protect her family's privacy. APRIL: When you're an addict, all you can
think about is getting that drug, getting that medicine, getting that relief. ALISON STEWART: What began with a legitimate
prescription for pain following a car accident quickly slipped into abuse. APRIL: I knew I had crossed the line when
I started running out of them a couple days before my prescription was supposed to be
gone. Then I found ways to get them without a prescription. ALISON STEWART: Did you go doctor shopping
at all? APRIL: If I didn't have a doctor, and I
had a pain flare-up, I would go to an ER. I accrued tens of thousands of dollars in
bills. ALISON STEWART: Eventually, when April tried
to get more painkillers, a doctor checked a state database that tracks prescription
use and confronted her. She got into treatment. Now, at 32, she's pregnant and attends a
clinic for pregnant opioid users. Doctor Jessica Young started it four years
ago at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Young estimates two-thirds of her patients
are like April, whose addiction started with a prescription for pain. ALISON STEWART: When you have a woman come
in who is addicted to an opioid and is pregnant, what kind of questions do they usually have
for you? JESSICA YOUNG: One of the first things is,
"What will happen to my baby?" And they are so afraid of Baby having any
problems after delivery. And they want to know that they are doing
whatever they can to get treatment in a safe way, in the safest way possible for Baby. ALISON STEWART: Infants exposed to an opioid
taken by their mothers during pregnancy can be become dependent on the drug in utero,
and be born going through withdrawal. The condition is called Neonatal Abstinence
Syndrome, or N-A-S. Doctor Stephen Patrick is one of the top N-A-S
researchers and works in Vanderbilt's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, or NICU. STEPHEN PATRICK: We began to see more and
more infants with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome in our NICU and began to wonder, "Is this
becoming a problem everywhere?" ALISON STEWART: In a study published last
year, Patrick found a nearly fivefold increase between 2000 and 2012 in the number of babies
born withdrawing from opioids. STEPHEN PATRICK: Here in Tennessee and in
the surrounding states, we have a rate that's about three times the national average, about
16.1 per thousand births, compared to the national average, which is about 5.8 per thousand
births. ALISON STEWART: Why is that? STEPHEN PATRICK: It's linked pretty heavily
to prescribing, to opioid prescribing. We know that about 80 percent of the cases
of Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome in Tennessee, you know, have a prescription written for
an opioid. ALISON STEWART: Are people writing more prescriptions
in Tennessee than other parts of the country? STEPHEN PATRICK: Yes. Tennessee has the second-highest rate of opioid
prescribing in the U.S. ALISON STEWART: At East Tennessee Children's
Hospital, nurse Heather Mishlick takes care of these newborns. HEATHER MISHLICK: Typically, N-A-S babies
come in and they're screaming uncontrollably. Their temperatures are high; their extremities
are really stiff. HEATHER MISHLICK: I'm going to pick him
up. ALISON STEWART: N-A-S babies need a lot of
skin to skin contact to be soothed and are kept in dimly lit rooms to prevent overstimulation. That's not always enough. Sometimes N-A-S babies must be given a low
dosage of an opioid like morphine to wean them off the drug. STEPHEN PATRICK: And what we do is we control
the symptoms. We make the infant more comfortable and we
do reduce the risk of having complications like seizures, and we slowly decrease that
dose over a period of time. ALISON STEWART: Their mothers are put on a
similar treatment while pregnant. It's called "maintenance therapy" — a
consistent dose of a safer opioid like the medication Suboxone. Doctor Young says those medications keep a
mom stable. JESSICA YOUNG: Maintenance therapy is a lot
about harm reduction. And the misconception is that it's substituting
one drug for another. But if maintenance therapy is done appropriately,
moms aren't getting high from the medication, they're functioning normally. ALISON STEWART: Newborns of women in opioid
maintenance therapy can still go through withdrawal. But Dr. Young emphasizes that if an addicted
mother-to-be tries to quit opioids cold turkey that can jeopardize the pregnancy. JESSICA YOUNG: It can cause miscarriage. It can cause preterm labor. We don't want moms delivering early because
of all the complications that that can cause. ALISON STEWART: April has been on Suboxone
throughout her pregnancy. APRIL: It's a Catch-22 all the way. You can't get off of it, or then the baby
will die. But, if you stay on it, the baby could go
through withdrawal. It's just scary, not to mention that the
laws that are coming out that are criminalizing women for when their babies are born, going
through withdrawals. ALISON STEWART: If a baby in Tennessee is
born dependent on drugs the mother can be charged with aggravated assault unless she
can prove she is actively seeking treatment. Tennessee has brought charges against at least
28 women under the new law. Sponsors of the law say it's not meant to
penalize women but to get them into treatment and protect the welfare of their babies. Dr. Young believes the law discourages women
from getting treatment. JESSICA YOUNG: What many of my patients tell
me is that they spent many weeks and months trying to wean themselves or taper themselves
off of these drugs at home without any medical intervention because they were afraid of whatever
possible legal repercussions there could be. ALISON STEWART: There are so few programs
like the ones at Vanderbilt and UNC that offer treatment and prenatal care to pregnant addicts
so the women often end up on waiting lists. PATIENT: With addiction down there though,
they really don't understand. There's no rehabs, there's no places like
this. ALISON STEWART: At the University of North
Carolina Horizon's clinic, Elisabeth Johnson says on average her patients drive an hour,
mostly from rural communities. Logistics are compounded by shame and stigma,
which Johnson says, are hurdles for getting pregnant opioid addicts into treatment. After several months of maintenance therapy
with the medication Suboxone, Sheena had her second son, Rohan. He was born with N-A-S and hospitalized for
three weeks. SHEENA: He sounded like he was in pain. What was really hard was knowing what he was
going through, 'cause I felt it before. He was sick. He was withdrawing off the medicine I was
taking. ALISON STEWART: There's not enough research
to know if there are any long term effects of N-A-S on a child. SHEENA: Do you want to get out the blueberries
or the carrots? ALISON STEWART: Sheena says the Horizons program
saved her life and her sons. Their father was not as fortunate. He died of an overdose last year. After nearly two years in recovery, Sheena
looks forward to a day when she will no longer need to take a medication to feel normal. SHEENA: I look around me and I'm just so
grateful, you know. I've come so tremendously far.

I love being this age...I'm wiser (that's not hard...), drama-free, sincerely self-confident (no pretending to not care what people I hardly know think of me...I really like me now so I genuinely don't care if someone doesn't, unless I've grown to value his/her opinion), calmer, and generally the best person inside and out I've ever been (that includes no more monthly cramps, mess, & bloating from a long gone menstrual cycle...).
Youth is vastly overrated; I don't pine for it (those poor folks who peaked in high school or college...) nor do I value it more than age.
The following 5 conditions are likely to occur once you've reached a certain age (eg over 50), all remediable if you stay alert for them:
- Shingles
You've seen the commercials about this painful skin rash which occurs when the virus that caused chickenpox during childhood returns for round two. Before age 50, the chance of developing shingles is just 1-2% but after 50, that chance nearly doubles to 2-3%.
What to do: Get vaccinated unless you are allergic to the antibiotic neomycin or any component of the vaccine (including gelatin), or have a weakened immune system (usually caused by treatments that use radiation or corticosteroids, or due to conditions such as HIV/AIDS, cancer of the lymph, bone, or blood. Most insurances cover it, but if uninsured the cost is $200-$300. If you already have it or think you might, see a doctor immediately as the most effective treatment is anti-viral medication used within 72 hours of an outbreak.
- Vertigo
Most common among those hitting middle age, this benign version common to age is a sensation of dizziness most likely caused by natural aging or a head trauma that lodges tiny crystals into the wrong area of the ear, which then send bad information to the brain that knocks off your sense of balance.
What to do: get tested by an ear, nose and throat specialist to rule out more-extreme causes such as a tumor or stroke; iIf correctly diagnosed, benign positional vertigo is treatable at home using one of three "maneuvers," Epley. Semont, or Foster.
- Weakened Depth Perception
We've become quite accustomed to a pair of reading glasses in every room, but we're not aware that our depth perception can also change with age, and it can be dangerous (research shows that as depth perception begins to deteriorate, one of the most dangerous driving maneuvers is a left turn in traffic).
As vision deteriorates over time, eyes can become less symmetrical. For instance, one eye might see things near while the other sees far. This difference affects depth perception.
What to do: have your eyes checked regularly...don't wait until you've had an accident to discover eye-trouble.
- Tinnitus
This is that ringing, buzzing, hissing, sizzling sound in your ears and it's fairly common among Boomers as a result of our youthful love of loud rock and roll. The condition can last for a week to several years.
Tinnitus is related to high-frequency hearing loss, and is cumulative. The ringing of the ears makes up for the absence of sound, and once you hear a ring, it's likely to recur.
What to do: Unfortunately there isn't a treatment for tinnitus, but once you've developed full-blown hearing loss and start wearing hearing aids, there's a 50-70% chance of recovering from tinnitus. If you have it but no hearing loss, background "white noise" helps to draw attention away from the internal racket (I have tinnitus and this works well for me).
To prevent the condition, wear earplugs/ear protection whenever you're exposed to lout activities (like concerts or visiting a shooting range).
- Menopausal Acne
Great, just when we're getting hot-flashes and night sweats as we go through meopause, some of us also get teen-ager-like oily skin and red bumps.Just like teen-age acne is caused by hormonal changes, menopause causes estrogen levels to drop and testosterone-like compounds to form, causing acne. Menopausal acne might not be as severe as a teenager's, but it could last as long as one to two years. You need not have had acne as a teen to get it now.
What to do: Retinoids, more commonly known as Retin-A, help prevent and deal with acne. In addition to reducing puffy oil glands, the topical medicine also combats fine lines, wrinkles and skin cancers (nice side-effect!).
You have been officially alerted.
Post Script...
Enjoy retirement, which I'm sure you'll handle like true Boomers...
we look forward to your second act.

How to Fake a Cold is as easy as faking all the other sicknesses we have. Most of the people have a common cold at least once a year. It is the most common disease humans have. Children actually have the cold most often (between six and twelve times a year). A really similar disease to a cold is the flu. You might like that one more so be sure to check it out.
How to Fake a Cold
Faking a cold is quite easy, every time when someone has caught the cold they always complain the day before that they think they will be sick. So if possible the day before you get "sick" complain that you feel weird. As if you are getting a fever. Act as if you are feeling a bit light headed and make sure to go to sleep early. The next day you wake up you will be "sick". Do no overdo it, if you just have the common cold you are not actually very sick. Although having the cold is not very pleasant it is not a terrible sickness. Follow the tips and symptoms to get further into faking that you have caught the cold. While all colds are different and so are the people make sure you are sick from 3 to 10 days. Less than 3 is weird but nobody of course really knows what kind of cold you had.
Fake Cold symptoms
- Cough
- Runny nose
- Nasal congestion
- Sneezing
- Fever
- Sore throat
Those are the symptoms a fake cold might have, it does not mean you have to have all of them. It is best to fake all of them but you might want to go easy on some of them. If for instance you are very good at coughing you could show that way more than the other symptoms. You could also just go on a party and scream so loud that you won't have a voice left the following day. That would resemble the sore throat very well.
Always fake a runny nose, the only thing you have to do to fake a runny nose is to inhale quickly through you nose as if there is water coming out or something (boogers).
How to Fake a Cold tips, dos and don't s
- Like always, don't overdo it
- If possible complain the day before you get sick that you are not feeling well
- Don't sneeze, cough and do stuff like that too often. Especially sneezing.
- Fake a runny nose, because it is very easy.

Online Protection Officer Workbooks (PO Workbook)
This resource is now available at www.railsafe.org.au/powb/home. If you experience any difficulties accessing this resource please contact the Network Rules Unit.
Please note that these forms do not open in older browsers such as Internet Explorer 8 and below.
The Online Protection Officer Workbook is in the early trial stages of development. We would like you to try it out and provide your feedback so that we can produce the right working tool for all Protection Officers.
This product will deliver easy to use digital forms that help Protection Officers (POs) compile their worksite protection workbooks. This will help the business by lowering print costs and paper waste, and will build a knowledge-base through captured data that improves safety measures across the network.
The Online PO Workbooks will eventually transition to a browser-based and native application that streamlines worksite protection planning for Rail Safety Coaches, Protection Officers and others who use Safeworking methods. During this transition period the current printed PO Workbook can still be ordered and used, or the print-ready PDFs that currently sit on the RailSafe website can be filled out and printed. When the native application is ready for use in 2018 these printed resources will be phased out.
The Online PO Workbooks are made up of six interactive web-based forms where worksite protection plans can be created, saved and printed in both online and offline modes. Users can start filling out a form at their office or on a desktop and then continue onto the worksite using a mobile device. The user can continue to complete and keep these forms locally on any mobile device should their internet access be interrupted while in the field. Once reconnected, the form can then be submitted online.
The forms are emailed to the user and can be printed or saved, and is easy to compile for submission for POs to use as part of the re-certification process.
Captured data will provide information that helps us build a safer network by identifying and augmenting the Worksite Protection Hazardous Locations Register, and other safety processes used in the rail corridor.

Service Recommendations for IWC Watches
It is recommended that IWC watches receive periodic professional maintenance every three to five years and that its timepieces be subjected to water-resistance testing every one to two years, or with every battery change. Without periodic maintenance, luxury watches can run irregularly, or even stop. Normal wear and tear on a luxury watch can be worsened by the presence of dust, mechanical stresses or changes that might affect the oils in the timepiece.
Our Expertise at Fixing IWC Watches
Your IWC watch deserves the best possible care, and at Manhattan Time Service we pay close attention to every detail in your IWC timepiece. Our specific and highly-qualified workmanship is carried out by a small team of specialists who use the most up-to-date techniques and equipment in the industry. A series of refined tests are carried out and a detailed cost estimate is prepared free of charge before any work is ever completed. When a luxury watch is overhauled at our workshop, it is completely disassembled and each of its parts is placed in unique chemical solutions that dissolve dirt and dust, and that emulsify any dried-out oils. When the watch is reassembled, new oils are applied to lubricate its essential parts.
Services We Provide for IWC Watches
IWC Models We Repair
Historical Info
The International Watch Company (IWC) was founded on truly international terms. A young pioneering American engineer from Boston, Florentine Ariosto Jones, set out in 1868 to cross the Atlantic Ocean and found IWC in eastern Switzerland - in Schaffhausen, specifically. When IWC was started, it was the only major Swiss watch factory located in the eastern part of Switzerland, but that didn't matter to Jones. He wanted to combine the craftsmanship of the Swiss watchmakers with modern American engineering technology, which produced the movements and watch parts for his American market. Jones capitalized on his factory's proximity to Rhine Falls and used the energy of the river for his modern factory.
Technological Advancements
IWC's obvious passion for outstanding inventions and technical refinements has always been the driving force behind their timepieces. IWC amazed the watchmaking industry when it created the first pocket watch with a digital display, and when the world was racing to produce a watch that could be worn on the wrist, IWC became the global leader in the production of wristwatches by 1899.
What Makes IWC Watches Unique
Although geographically remote, IWC built a worldwide reputation with original designs of classic simplicity and a contemporary nature. Their watch dials bear the inscription, "IWC Schaffhausen," reminding everyone that all it takes is dedication and creativity to go against the traditional flow and have success wherever one chooses to do business.
Recent Events
December 13, 2010
IWC announced the release of its limited edition IWC Portuguese Perpetual Calendar 2010, with several hundred parts and a perpetual calendar that literally counts the days in such a way that takes into account the subtle variations of days in each month. The perpetual calendar recognizes leap years and will not need adjustment until March 1, 2100 – and only because that year will be a secular year and not, as ruled by the Gregorian calendar, a leap year.

Lightroom Preset - Film Emulations EX1-10
These are presets that are made to somewhat copy the look of film. The adjust the curves of the picture as well as the coloration of the highlights and shadows. The presets are designed to give your picture a modern but somewhat vintage look. I've tested these with Lightroom 4, and a little bit with Lightroom 5.

statsiemens (statS)
The statsiemens (symbolized statS) is the unit of conductance in the cgs (centimeter/gram/second) electrostatic system of units. It is equivalent to approximately 1.11265 x 10 -12 siemens (S) or 1.11265 picosiemens (pS). The siemens is the standard unit of conductance in the International System of Units ( SI ).
The statsiemens is an extremely small unit of conductance. In fact, an object with a conductance of 1 statS would make an excellent insulator or dielectric . In practical applications, the siemens, the millisiemens (mS) and the microsiemens (µS)are most often used to quantify conductance. For comparison, 1 statS = 1.11265 x 10 -6 µS = 1.11265 x 10 -9 mS.
Also see conductance , siemens , cgs or small-unit metric system , and International System of Units ( SI ).

Purple sweet potato tastes almost the same as orange sweet potato but it's mostly used in baking. I have actually never had it in a savory dish, I see it always served as a breakfast food, which does go well just boiled or baked with some tea or coffee.
It definitely gave so much flavor to the curry that you don't need so much spices. If anything, cut down on the spices to enjoy the taste it has to offer. The sauce also gets so thick personally, I ate this curry with nothing else. It was good enough on it's own. But it is really great with rice, buckwheat or any kind of bread.
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 2 Purple sweet potatoes chopped
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 tomatoes
- 1 carrot chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 1/2 yellow bell pepper chopped
- 1 cup chopped white cauliflower
- coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/4 teaspoon curry powder
- salt to taste
In a sauce pan/pot, add cooking oil, Add in the onions, sauté the a bit, add ginger and sweet potatoes. Let this cook for a few minutes. Add the carrots and some spices (Turmeric, Cumin). Stir and let it cook some more minutes roughly 5 minutes.
Blend the tomatoes with 2 cloves garlic and add 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder or fresh coriander if you have.
When the potatoes start to seem cooked, pour in the tomato blend.Add the rest of the spices (garam masala, curry powder). Let this simmer for 2-3 minutes. Add the bell peppers and cauliflower. Pour in coconut milk, as creamy as you want it. Season with salt. Cover and let this simmer for 2-3 minutes. Serve.
Hope you enjoy this curry, It's meatless and tastes so good.
Chop your veggies into small cubes that way they cook faster 🙂
