Ofe Egusi, that's the Name. Just like I rightly stated on the introductory page of Nigeria Soups, the Egusi soup (melon) happens to be the MOST popular of all Nigerian Soups as far as consumption is concerned. Also on this page I have done my best to attach a video on the preparation and cooking of the Egusi soup (melon) for better illustration, and also made a list of needed ingredients.
There are actually two different Egusi soup (melon) recipes that am aware of, not withstanding, we will be taking us on the most popular recipe, then probably the second should come briefly at the end of this recipe then later in the week on a separate detailed blog post.
What you find below is a delicious plate of egusi soup, served with fufu.Print
Egusi soup (melon)
Ofe Egusi, that's the Name. Just like I rightly stated on the introductory page of Nigeria Soups, the Egusi soup (melon) happens to be the MOST popular of all Nigerian Soups as far as consumption is concerned. Also on this page I have done my best to attach a video on the preparation and cooking of the Egusi soup (melon) for better illustration, and also made a list of needed ingredients.
- Meat of choice 2kg (beef, chicken turkey, goat meat, or assorted meat)
- Assorted meat is a combination of different parts of a cow
- 4 cups of egusi (melon)
- Dry fish (maybe two medium sizes)
- 1 cup of ground crayfish
- 1 cup of Ground Osu (optional)
- A good amount of washed bitterleaf
- 3 cubes of knorr, maggi or other natural sweetener
- 250ml of palm oil
- About 2 liters of water
- Salt and pepper to taste.
- One medium size Stock fish head (okporoko)
- Ogiri or dawadawa or opkei (local ingredients)
- Grind the four cups of egusi with a dry blender or hand grinding machine and set aside in a bowl. Add about a cup of water to it and stir to make a very thick paste.
- Be sure that the bitterleaf (onugbu) is properly washed, it is advisable to remove over 95 percent of the bitter taste, this process in known to most Nigerians, and it involves washing and squeezing the bitter leaves for several minutes in a very big bowl.
- If you bought the already-washed bitter leaf from the market it already, beautiful! it is advisable to boil alone for about ten minutes, this would further remove the bitter taste and serve other purposes.
- Parboil the meat of your choice with all the necessary ingredients; it is advisable to parboil meat with some ingredient before adding to the main food, this improves the taste of the meat. Parboil for about ten minutes, then add water and cook till the meat is tender and the stock (water) is about to dry. Use two cubes of knorr, one spoon of kitchen glory beef spice (optional), a teaspoon of salt and half cup of sliced onions.
- Soak the dry fish and stock fish in a bowl with hot water and wash thoroughly to remove sand and center bone, then set aside. Tear open the head of stock fish and wash.
- Set your cooking pot on fire and add 250ml of palm oil (red oil), allow to heat for a minutes but don't allow to bleach. Add the egusi paste and keep stirring for the next eight to ten minutes to form seed-like crumbs.
- Then transfer the already cooked meat into the pot, stir, add the washed dry fish, stock fish, ground crayfish, 2 cubes of maggi or knorr, 3 cups of water. Then cover half way and allow boiling for the next ten to fifteen minutes.
- Stir occasionally to avoid burning.
- At this point you can add one cup of ground osu (optional), a tablespoon of ground ofor or achi.
- Add the already washed bitter leaves, (or ugu [fluted pumpkin]), one spoon of ground dawadawa (local ingredients), taste for salt and pepper.
- You may add another cube of knorr. Allow to boils for five to ten minutes and you just made a delicious egusi soup.
- Nigerian egusi soup could be served with rice, but most especially eba and fufu. I personally enjoy eating this soup and pounded yam together.
Video On Making Egusi Soup
Here is a visual demonstration of the method outlined above, enjoy!
Note: This soup can also be made with fluted pumpkin, the same process should be followed the only different is that bitter leaves should be replaced with fluted pumpkin leaves.
The second egusi soup recipe is very simple to make. You can still follow the same process outlined above. Parboil the meat; add the dry fish, stock fish once it is soft for consumption. Also add the palm oil, 2 cubes of maggi, salt and pepper, dawadawa or okpei. Then add the ground egusi (here there is completely no reason to add water or make into paste)
The only different between the two recipes is that the egusi is fried at the beginning in the recipe above while it is added at the end here. A combination of Ofe Egusi & Pounded Yam would be perfect for launch

No sailing today then in Largs!
It's hard to believe there's a stunning view out to the Firth of Clyde looking at this picture but, when we woke this morning, the beast from the east had enveloped the west coast and our garden was knee deep in snow; very rare in this part of Scotland.
Whilst the team at Largs Yacht Haven worked furiously hard to clear the bridge, the sun suddenly came out and the marina looked very welcoming. For those of us who did manage to make it to the marina, the views were beautiful.
Harvey, of course, just loves this weather and running after snowballs was way more important to him than talk of summer and sailing.

The Farm Journal
Houses are supposed to stay put.
Homes can be moved, but a house has a relationship with where it's foundation is born.I find it troubling that privilege is flattening mountains and snatching houses. A thievery of place.
A house to which they will up and move down Main street to an overcrowded property. Rules don't apply to those with privilege it seems.
Good bye house, I hope they don't saw you in half like the baby in the Bible.
A metaphor for the changes taking place in Madison County.

(CNN) -- The National Basketball Association has banned Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling from basketball for life and fined him $2.5 million, the max fine allowed. The racist remarks were attributed to him in recordings posted online, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver announced Tuesday.
Commissioner Silver said Tuesday that Sterling acknowledged to him that "it was his voice on the tape." After being asked whether Sterling had anything else to say, Silver said he "has not expressed to me, directly, any other views."
When asked whether Sterling could profit from the team as a banned, absentee owner if there's not enough votes to force a sale, Silver said: "I fully expect to get the support I need from the other NBA owners to remove him."
Commissioner Silver said he hopes that businesses which suspended sponsor-ships with the Clippers will resume their relationships with the team in the wake of the league's punishment of Sterling. Silver said he hopes the Clippers' marketing partners will "judge us by our response to this incident." Silver added: "I can understand how upset they are, and I'll do my best to bring them back into the NBA family."
When Commissioner Silver spoke to the media on Tuesday about the NBA's findings in the investigation into Sterling's racist remarks the league's players hoped it would included the most severe penalties.
"When a hint of cancer is shown, you have to cut it out immediately, and I feel that's where the players are today," Kevin Johnson, the former all-star who is the chairman of the National Basketball Players Association's executive committee, told CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront."
Johnson said the players trusted that the new commissioner, on the job for less than three months, would find the right penalties for Sterling, who has owned the Clippers for almost 30 years.
"They don't think he's worthy to be an owner," said Johnson, also the mayor of Sacramento, "so whether there's a sanction that includes a suspension, whether there's a sanction that includes a hefty fine ... the players feel very strongly that he's not fit to be an owner and a part of this NBA family."
The NBA held a news conference for 2 p.m. ET. on Tuesday. Sterling has not commented publicly on the scandal.
Former NBA player Thurl Bailey, a broadcaster for the Utah Jazz, told CNN that if Sterling were to have merely received some kind of suspension, it would've been an inadequate way to address the issue.
Bailey said he recognized Sterling's voice on recordings that were posted online that are at the center of the controversy.
"For me, that was his voice," Bailey said.
Tuesday, the Rev. Al Sharpton, president of the National Action Network, called on Silver to meet this week with him and other civil rights leaders, according to a statement from the organization. Sharpton is planning to meet with the Congressional Black Caucus in Washington to discuss the situation, it said.
Monday brought a slew of sponsors distancing themselves from the team and a host of other owners and team officials condemning the comments attributed to Sterling, who has never been disciplined by the league.
Adidas confirmed to CNN Tuesday that it was suspending its current marketing partnership with the Clippers. That means the company will not have in-arena promotions, signage, LED boards and so forth, but Adidas will remain the official outfitter. The Adidas logo doesn't appear on the team's warm-ups, shooting shirts and gear, Adidas spokeswoman Laura Lamkin said in an e-mail.
On Saturday, the website TMZ posted a 10-minute recording of a conversation, reportedly between Sterling and his girlfriend, whose legal name is V. Stiviano. According to the website, the conversation occurred on April 9.
On the recording, the man and woman argue about photos posted to Instagram in which she appears with African-Americans. The man says he doesn't want the woman bringing any black people to games with her.
Team President Andy Roeser issued a statement this weekend that said "what is reflected on that recording is not consistent with, nor does it reflect (Sterling's) views, beliefs or feelings." He suggested that the recording was an attempt by Stiviano to "get even" with Sterling.
Speculation on possible punitive actions
Silver has promised the league would give Sterling due process but would act quickly.
It is unclear whether Silver could order Sterling to sell the Clippers, a team he bought for $12 million in 1981 and is now worth $575 million, according to Forbes magazine. A lifetime suspension and fine of at least $1 million is more likely, experts say.
The commissioner might announce an indefinite suspension while the investigation continues, CNN's Rachel Nichols reported.
"He (eventually) could suspend Donald Sterling maybe for a year, maybe even two years or even indefinitely," Nichols said. "And the idea and the hope would be that if he made him so uncomfortable, if he was removed from day-to-day operations, if sponsors are pulling out the way that they are, there would be some way to convince Sterling, it's in your best interest and the interest of everyone else to sell the team."
Nichols likened the situation to that of the late Marge Schott, who owned the Cincinnati Reds and made racist and other insensitive comments. She was suspended twice, the second time in 1996, and sold the team in 1999.
Other NBA owners have called the remarks attributed to Sterling "abhorrent," "reprehensible," "hurtful," and said they have no place in the league or anywhere in society.
And they all said they have confidence Silver will handle the matter well.
Charlotte Bobcats owner and Hall of Famer Michael Jordan made a rare public statement on a controversial subject.
"As an owner, I'm obviously disgusted that a fellow team owner could hold such sickening and offensive views," he said. "As a former player, I'm completely outraged. There is no room in the NBA -- or anywhere else -- for the kind of racism and hatred that Mr. Sterling allegedly expressed."
TMZ posts audio recording
In the recording, the man seems mad about a photo the woman posted to Instagram with Magic Johnson, now a part owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
"In your lousy f**ing Instagrams, you don't have to have yourself with -- walking with black people," the man says.
"If it's white people, it's OK?" she responds. "If it was Larry Bird, would it make a difference?"
Bird was Johnson's chief rival when Bird's Celtics and Johnson's Lakers ruled the NBA.
"I've known (Magic Johnson) well, and he should be admired. ... I'm just saying that it's too bad you can't admire him privately," the man on the recording says. "Admire him, bring him here, feed him, f**k him, but don't put (Magic) on an Instagram for the world to have to see so they have to call me. And don't bring him to my games."
On Sunday, the sports website Deadspin posted five additional minutes it said was part of the same audio recording.
Neither website has said how it obtained the recordings.
Stiviano's lawyer's office said Sunday that she didn't release the recordings to TMZ but that they are legitimate.
"This office understands that the currently released audio tape of approximately 15 minutes is a portion of approximately one (1) hour of overall audio recording of Mr. Donald T. Sterling and Ms. Stiviano, and is in fact legitimate," Mac E. Nehoray said in a news release. "Ms. Stiviano did not release the tape(s) to any news media."
Clippers considered boycott
Sterling's wife, who is suing the woman, gave CNN affiliate KABC a statement Sunday night.
"Our family is devastated by the racist comments made by my estranged husband," Rochelle Sterling said. "My children and I do not share these despicable views or prejudices. We will not let one man's small-mindedness poison the spirit of the fans and accomplishments of the team in the city we love."
Los Angeles Clippers coach Doc Rivers told reporters Monday that he was offered an opportunity to speak to Sterling after the comments attributed to the team's owner were posted online, but Rivers said he "passed." Rivers added, "I don't think right now is the time or place, for me at least. And so I just took a pass."
The coach, in his first year with the Clippers, said he believes that Sterling did make the comments but said he wanted to find out if the recording was doctored.
Rivers confirmed the team's players had talked about boycotting a playoff game but decided against it. Whether the coach or a player will address the fans before Tuesday's Game 5 against the Golden State Warriors is being discussed internally, Rivers said. The teams each have two wins in the best-of-seven-games series.
Golden State coach Mark Jackson said Monday that fans should make a statement by staying home.
Sponsors leave in droves
Twelve Clippers sponsors have taken action. State Farm, Virgin America, CarMax, Red Bull were among companies to pull sponsorships, at least temporarily, CNN Money reported.
Sterling was to receive a lifetime achievement award at an event next month to mark the 100th anniversary of the Los Angeles NAACP, but the national organization said Monday that would not happen.
Sterling had been given a lifetime achievement award from the organization in 2009, according to a brochure obtained by CNN.
Roeser, the Clippers' president, suggested Saturday that Stiviano -- whom he didn't mention by name -- was "getting even" with Sterling over a lawsuit.
Rochelle Sterling filed a lawsuit last month against Stiviano, who she said was having an affair with her husband.
In the complaint, Rochelle Sterling accuses Stiviano of targeting extremely wealthy older men. The suit claims that Donald Sterling used the couple's money to buy Stiviano a Ferrari, two Bentleys and a Range Rover and that Stiviano took possession of a $1.8 million duplex through fraud. Sterling also gave her nearly $250,000 in cash, the court document says.
Stiviano countered in another court document that there was nothing wrong with Donald Sterling giving her gifts and that she never took advantage of the Clippers owner, who made much of his fortune in real estate.
Speaking about the recording, Roeser said, "We do not know if it is legitimate or it has been altered. We do know that the woman on the tape -- who we believe released it to TMZ -- is the defendant in a lawsuit brought by the Sterling family alleging that she embezzled more than $1.8 million, who told Mr. Sterling that she would 'get even.' "
CNN's Paul Vercammen, Ashley Fantz, Caleb Silver, Stephanie Elam, Ralph Ellis, AnneClaire Stapleton, Joe Sutton, Wayne Sterling and Kevin Dotson contributed to this report.

Book review on: How to talk so people will listen
Introduction The author Steve Brown offers the student a helpful guide to effective communication. He emphasizes the basics of speech and conversation and makes us aware that speech allows us to communicate to others quickly or easily about our needs, feelings and desires. Speech allows us to correct false impressions or share our ideas. We are able with speech to encourage reprimand or inspire. With speech we can also express anger, love or joy. Brown makes us aware of some of the setbacks which include include fear, speaking with authority, not wasting time, and winning the right to be heard., He gives us the basic principles of how we can overcome such. Brown argues that if a speaker can master these basic principles, he or she can gain an audience and effectively speak to be remembered.
Review In this book "how to talk so People will listen", includes a wealth of advice and insightful information for the communicator. We are reminded that words have power when God speaks his very speaking accomplishes the purpose of His word Isaiah 55:11.Whether the reader has never made a speech before or he is a well-established and experienced professional, this book is very useful. Brown realizes the power that speech has to influence people. For this reason it should be important to everyone who has a desire to impact an audience. The reason many people avoid public speaking, though, is because of the intimidation factor. Brown reasons that fears and intimidators must be faced confidently and realistically. Failure should be seen positively as "it is harder to learn from success than it is to learn from failure." The speaker must not allow his performance to influence his feelings of self-value. Positive thinking about oneself and a positive optimistic mindset should enable the orator to face his fears and thus conquer them.
In this culture, an audience will not listen unless the speaker communicates with...

THE fast pace of today's hectic world quite often results in skipping meals and eating the wrong food, which leads to fatigue, exhaustion, irritability and a general feeling of tiredness.
One of the underlying causes of these complaints is often an inadequate diet - in particular, an insufficient intake of vitamins and minerals. Lack of B group vitamins, especially vitamin B12, and the mineral magnesium, can cause chronic irritability, exhaustion and mental fatigue.
Although vitamin supplements are readily available, it is far better to maintain a well-balanced diet: include fresh fruit and vegetables, and plenty of herbs.
Foods to help motivate you and get you going are apples, bananas, corn, grapefruit, mangoes, papaya, peaches and yellow squash.
A small glass of fresh carrot juice each day is also an excellent boost to the system. Of all the juices it has the best balance of vitamins and minerals.
Natural food sources of magnesium are almonds and other nuts, fish, prawns, leafy green vegetables, molasses, soybeans, sunflower seeds and wheat germ.
Herbs that provide this element are alfalfa (eat daily as sprouted seed), cayenne, dandelion and peppermint. Fresh dandelion leaves can be cooked like spinach or the young, tender leaves chopped up and served in a salad.
B group food sources are brewers' yeast, sprinkled over breakfast cereal, grains and seeds, rice bran, sunflower seed, nuts, legumes, potatoes, almonds, mushrooms, soya beans, citrus fruits, molasses, spinach, cauliflower, salmon, and some dairy products.
Vitamin B12 can be found in most meats; however, this should be lean and eaten sparingly.
Herb sources of B complex vitamins are dandelion, fenugreek, parsley, alfalfa, watercress, cayenne, burdock and sage.
A cup of lemon balm or chamomile tea will also help you to relax and soothe those irritated nerves. Chamomile tea acts as a mild sedative to help an active brain go to sleep.
Laying back and luxuriating in a warm bath, to which has been added a few drops of lavender oil, will not only help to reduce physical and metal fatigue but will also revitalise you.
And when your concentration is flagging, you will find that inhaling a few drops of basil and bergamot oils on a handkerchief will help conquer mental fatigue.
Most important, if you feel tired, irritable and exhausted, first assess what you are eating and as much as possible include plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables and herbs in your daily diet. This will give you the energy to get out and enjoy life, rather than sleeping it away.

JACKSON TOWNSHIP, OH (WCMH) — The Ohio State Highway Patrol is investigating a crash between a vehicle and a train that killed a New Lexington man, Sunday.
According to the OSHP, at about 3:26pm, June 18, troopers were called to Township Road 185 near state Route 37 on the report of a vehicle struck by a train.
Troopers say Jarvie V. Johnson, 85, was driving south on Township Road 185 when he failed to yield to an eastbound train at a rail grade crossing and was struck by the train.
Johnson was transported to Fairfield Medical Center where he died from his injuries.
No flashing signals or gates were present at the intersection.
The crash remains under investigation but troopers say all motorists should use caution when approaching highway-rail grade crossings.

"Let's swim to the moon
Let's climb through the tide
Surrender to the waiting worlds
That lap against our side."
Jim Morrison
Hey Jim, let me have some of that, too 🙂
The astronomers did it again. With an uncanny precision they have predicted again the occurrence of a rare event on the night sky. We had a storm approaching last night with high winds and snow fall. I have not done much night photography and I did not expect to see the lunar eclipse on a full moon. So I did not set a timer.
What woke me up at 6 in the morning? Was it Jimmy? I'll never know.
So I get up, bundle up to walk to the bathhouse and I see a flash going off. Not thinking clearly at this hour I think somebody has set up a camera trap to get a picture of any wildlife on campus. That's strange. The I see some shapes in the distance moving around near the bunkhouse. Somebody is awake. What are they doing this early? Too early for sunrise, no wolves howling, no class?
Then it dawns on me. I see a blood orange in the sky. It is supposed to be a bright full moon, but it is not. It is a red moon. Bright at the bottom, darker on top.
I fumble with some knobs and settings to capture the rare event.
What would we do without astronomers? Expect the world come to an end? Or go with Jim?

When is a takeaway not a takeaway? The answer, apparently, is when it's a delivery.
This semantic argument was used by Deliveroo in response to the investigations of Panorama's recent broadcast, Takeaway Secrets Exposed but it has some significant consequences.
The food you order from the likes of 'Just Eat' and 'Deliveroo' are known as 'dark kitchens': cramped boxes, usually plonked in city centres, in which cooks prepare meals ordered and sent out via food-delivery apps. The food that comes out of these containers is sold under the name of established restaurants; innocent customers might assume it somehow still comes from their high-street premises – but no: this is known as"virtual branding", and all that sits behind a restaurant logo is a small space containing a minimum of essentials – a couple of ovens, a handful of chefs and couriers frantically delivering what they cook.
On the simplest level, you may not know where your food is actually coming from. On the more dangerous side, you may not be able to easily determine whether that food is safe to eat. Watch the programme: Takeaway Secrets Exposed

In Sri Lanka , deminers risk their lives to protect ours
High Commissioner Whiting gives opening remarks to celebrate the progress Sri Lanka has made in becoming a mine-free country.
A local deminer demonstrates the work she does on a daily basis.
Guests tour the Official Residence's lawn to watch deminers work.
MAG's deminers take a group photo with High Commissioner Whiting.
Sivasithamparame explains what happened on the day she lost her leg.
She tried to help the man but lost her leg instead
Kamaladevi Sivasithamparam is a landmine victim who lost her leg after stepping on an anti-personnel mine in 1987 while trying to reach for her fallen colleague. Despite her injury and the practical and physical challenges it imposed on her, Kamaladevi continued with her work as Secretary to the North and East Provincial Council for the next twenty five years. She is now retired, and an active member of Sri Lanka Campaign to Ban Landmines, advocating for landmine victims and disabled. She also sits as an advisor of a community organization which provides prosthetics and rehabilitation services to landmine victims.
"At that time, no one was aware of these things. Even children could tell you the name of airplanes flying overhead by the sounds they made, and run to the bunkers - those things we knew. But we didn't know this antipersonnel mine thing. That man lost his leg. It was just hanging there. He was calling for water. And I was the one left. I went off the road onto the gravel and trampled on a mine. My leg went flying right off. It was a pressure mine. When you take the weight off-it explodes", recounts Sivasithamparam, as she explains what happened on the day she lost her leg.
Canada destroys mines to prevent more landmine victims
"Where mines are involved, mine action must always be a central part of the solution. Humanitarian actors need roads clear of mines to access people in dire need of aid. Development projects cannot be built on mine-laden foundations. And societies cannot recover from conflict where people cannot return to their homes, fields and schools."
Canada's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Stéphane Dion
To celebrate the significant work that deminers have done to rid Sri Lanka of the scourge and impact of landmines, Canada's High Commission to Sri Lanka hosted a unique event in Sri Lanka to recognize the International Day for Mine Awareness and Assistance in Mine Action.
The High Commission invited Mines Advisory Group (MAG) to turn the Official Residence's front lawn into a mock minefield for the day of the event. MAG set up a stark visual reminder of the importance of demining work and the risks that deminers face in Sri Lanka, and brought a team of professional local deminers to demonstrate the back breaking and heroic work that goes into mine clearance.
Canada's High Commissioner to Sri Lanka, Shelley Whiting led a moment of silence to "remember all lives lost due to mines, in memory of deminers who have lost their lives or been injured in the course of their work, and in recognition of all deminers who, on a daily basis, risk life and limb so that the rest of us can be safe, and whose work to make Sri Lanka and the world mine-free to often goes unacknowledged and unrecognized."
Canada through the Global Peace and Security Fund, has been a significant donor to Sri Lanka's demining efforts, contributing more than $3 million since 2009 to MAG and HaloTrust's demining efforts, which are undertaken in close collaboration with the armed forces, the National Mine Action Centre, the United Nations, and the Government of Sri Lanka.
As a result, Canada has helped destroy more than 47 million stockpiled anti-personnel mines, clear and return to productive use more than a billion square metres of land, and rehabilitate and reintegrate thousands of landmine survivors into their societies as full productive members.
Mines and explosive remnants of war constitute a serious threat to safety, and an impediment to social and economic development. Clearance of landmines is a necessary prerequisite to long-term peace and security for all Sri Lankans. Canada looks forward to continued engagement with Sri Lanka in the months and years to come, to strive together to create a Sri Lanka and a world free of anti-personnel mines.

If I Could Create an Incompetent Cervix Study
If I could spearhead a study about incompetent cervix, this is how I would want it to work...
The would include women who had experiences the birth and/or loss of a baby between fifteen weeks and thirty weeks gestation. The previous births would be attributed to preterm labor, premature rupture of the membranes, incompetent cervix, or unknown causes with or without infection. Women joining the study should be in their first trimester. Ideally, they would begin between week six and week eight. An equal control group of women who have not had pregnancy complications should be included, as well.
Each mother would have a full work up and history to confirm the presence or absence of known risk factors for incompetent cervix, such as DES exposure, cervical trauma such as a D&C (dilation and curettage) from a termination or a miscarriage, previous surgery on the cervix, including biopsies, damage during a difficult birth, congenitally short cervix, malformed cervix or uterus from a birth defect, and uterine anomalies.
On a weekly basis during the entire pregnancy the mothers would have blood panels done to check hormone levels such as testosterone, estrogen, and especially progesterone. Blood testing should also include a full CBC with differential and platelet workup, antinuclear antibodies, and a complete metabolic panel.
Weekly pelvic ultrasounds would be performed to watch for funneling or shortening of the cervix. If funneling or shortening is observed the mother will receive a cerclage to increase the chances of a successful pregnancy. Any mother who has already been diagnosed with incompetent cervix will receive a cerclage at thirteen to fourteen weeks gestation.
I would be interested to see the statistics regarding the success rates of emergency cerclages when placed at the first sign of trouble. Emergency cerclages have been reported to have a low success rate. In talking with other women who have incompetent cervix I have found that most who were able to get an emergency cerclage were initially refused a cerclage, did not get a cerclage for many days, or received them after the cervix was open, often with membranes protruding into the vagina. Preventative cerclages have much higher success rates because they are placed before changes in the cervix occur. I believe that if doctors could catch cases of incompetent cervix during the period prior to the cervix actually opening, that emergency cerclages might be just as effective as preventative cerclages.
In cases where premature rupture of the membranes does occur, I would like the women put on full bed-rest with intravenous antibiotics to prevent infection. I do not want ruptured membranes to immediately result in the delivery of the baby if that can be prevented. Medication to stop contractions, such as brethine or magnesium sulfate, should be used if needed. The mother should be closely monitored for any signs of infection.
It would be wonderful if we could identify women who are at risk for incompetent cervix. They could be considered high risk, which would allow for closer monitoring during pregnancy. Weekly ultrasounds between sixteen and twenty-four weeks gestation would probably prevent the loss of many if not most losses due to incompetent cervix since it would allow for early detection of cervical incompetence and the ability to receive an emergency cerclage. These are not always successful, but the earlier you get one, the more likely it is to be successful. Discovering which, if any, hormone irregularities might be a contributing factor would be invaluable. If the simple act of taking a progesterone supplement could reduce the risk of developing incompetent cervix, it would just be phenomenal.
I really think there are a lot more cases of incompetent cervix than statistically reported. It's just so hard to diagnose it after the fact. You generally have to "catch it in the act" before you can make a definitive diagnosis. If you don't it's impossible to tell if you went into labor because you were dilating or you dilated, resulting in you going into labor. How can incompetent cervix be prevented if it can't be identified?
I'd also like to see a standard practice for dealing with incompetent cervix. It seems to me that the vast majority of doctors practically refuse to treat the condition. I've seen so many women lose their babies when their doctors simply refused to even consider the use of a cerclage. I just think that is totally unacceptable. Mother's are putting the lives of their babies in the hands of practitioners who are not willing to do everything in their power to give their babies the chance to live.
Well, that's my moment of dreaming for this morning.

I admit it. I'm a nail varnish addict.
My fascination started whilst at my very first job. A boring mundane coffee shop, working part time whilst at school. The uniform consisted of standard white shirts and black trousers with dull brown aprons. For someone who has always loved colour you can see why I hated this uniform. Run of the mill, zero personality – BLAND. Whilst I couldn't do anything about my unexciting uniform I could inject a bit of colour into my nails, this is where my 'nail queen' reputation started to form.
My varnish collection has built up ever since, it is starting to become a bit obsessive really.
See? I just can't help it.
Be warned.. more nail themed posts/reviews to come in the future.

We recently added a feature to the Angels' Cup coffee app that lets you record brew methods AND the results. If you're familiar with brew methods like the Chemex or Aeropress, recording the brew method is straight forward. As you can see in the screenshot to the left, you can record things like temp, grind, brew time, coffee, and water weight. When you have a coffee and water weight entered, the app shows you your brew ratio.
There are a few apps out there that let you record brew data, but if you really want to learn how to make better coffee, you should also keep track of the results. To help you do this, we built a 2-axis chart to record your coffee's strength and extraction.
Coffee strength is easy to discern. It either tastes too watery or not watery enough. If your coffee is ever too strong, you can solve the problem by adding a little water to it!
Extraction is a little more challenging, and might take some practice to understand. Coffee people usually refer to extraction in terms of sour and bitter.
If coffee is under extracted it will taste sour because the fruity acidity comes out first. Think about the tart flavor of citrus fruit, or granny smith apples. Those flavors come from acidic compounds found naturally in fruit, and often can be quite pleasant. Candy is often loaded with the same types of acidic compounds, think about Jolly Ranchers or Starbursts. However, for these sour notes to taste good in a cup of coffee, they need to be balanced with the sweetness and even some bitter notes that develop later in the brewing process.
If coffee is over extracted, it will taste bitter. Think about the flavor of really dark chocolate, garlic, or medicine. The bitterness in coffee takes longer to develop than sour or sweet notes, but can quickly come to overpower a cup.
Here's a quick table to help you fix bad coffee:
|Brew Time
|Water Temp
It's easy to read about how something tastes, but how easy is it to pick up on in the cup? Understanding extraction, and training yourself to pick up on sour vs bitter, can be a challenge, but a fun one! The best way to really understand coffee is to deliberately brew multiple cups incorrectly, and try them side by side.
Experiment 1: Extraction through brew time
An easy way to mess up extraction is brew time. For this experiment, you will need a "submersion" brewer, one where the coffee grounds are suspended in water with no drainage (i.e. aeropress, french press, clever). A V60 can also work because the filters are thin enough to brew super fast if you want, but a Kalita or Chemex are bad options. You'll also need good coffee beans with at least medium acidity.
You're going to make three cups. For one, just follow your normal recipe. For another, cut your recipe time in half, and for another double your recipe. For most people, that will probably mean a 2-minute brew, a 4-minute brew, and an 8-minute brew.
When they're ready to try them side-by-side, what do you notice? I like to think of it as treble and bass. The under extracted coffee will have all treble and no bass. The over extracted coffee will have the bass dialed up. What if the experiment didn't work for you? Either a) your beans weren't very good or were stale, and didn't have treble or bass to begin with, or b) it just takes time to develop a palate, try again with 1, 4, and 12-minute brew times.
Experiment 2: Extraction through brew temp
This one is tricky, so buckle up. First, you need a variable temp electric kettle or a kettle with a thermometer. If you have that, make three cups of coffee, the first one at 210℉, the second at 195℉, and the third at 180℉. What you'll probably notice is that temperature affects the sour/treble notes, significantly more than the bitter/bass notes.
Now here's where it gets tricky. Temperature doesn't simply increase or decrease extraction, it affects the rate at which specific compounds dissolve, namely acids and carbohydrates. The hotter the water, the more acidity and sweetness you will get, keeping all else equal. However, you will also taste a shift in the nuance of the acidity and sweetness, and this shift will be different for every damn coffee. Brewing a sweet coffee at lower temps seems to produce a beautiful candy-like sweetness. At higher temps we seem to get more of a starchy, bread-like sweetness. This might be acceptable if it's the only sweetness a coffee offers, or if the coffee needs sweetness to balance some bitterness or sourness.
The basic rule of thumb I'll offer is this. For sour coffee, decrease temp. Yes that will reduce extraction, but think about cold brew as an extreme example. It's never too bright. If your coffee is bitter, increase temp. It won't pull out more bitterness, but it might pull out more acidity and/or sweetness to balance the bitter.
And that's the basis of 'dialing in' a coffee recipe! You start with strength, and then adjust brew time and temp to get the perfect balance of treble and bass for a given coffee. Hope that helps, and addresses some of the comments below.
Experiment 3: Extraction through grind size
This is actually the hardest variable to experiment with. On something like a French Press, grind options are limited by what will pass through the filter. For filter brewing, changing the grind size will greatly affect your brew time. The finer you grind, the slower your brew time will be. That being said, one of the best tricks to making great coffee is to figure out exactly how fine a specific method needs to be. Go very fine, see if the coffee comes out bitter, then re-try with coarser coffee and a shorter brew time.
At the end of the day, reading will only get you so far, you have to be willing to experiment. Don't think of it as a waste of beans. Gulping coffee without paying attention to flavor is a waste, experimentation is the best possible use of good beans. So set aside some time this weekend to have fun with your coffee!
