Vulvodynia is often characterized by burning discomfort, itching, throbbing, or tenderness of the vulva - sometimes in the labia, sometimes around the opening of the vagina, sometimes affecting the vestibular glands - which may be experienced either as diffused irritation or as specific painful spots.
The group of symptoms is classified by many names, partly because of the ways in which it may present or respond to treatment: vulvar pain syndrome, focal vulvitis, vestibular adenitis, vulvodynia, vulvar vestibulitis, or simply vestibulitis.
A surprising number of women suffer from a condition of chronic, unexplainable pain in the skin of the genitals, which has only recently begun to receive public attention and validation as a legitimate complaint. Efforts to treat the syndrome have been frustrating for women seeking relief as well as for caregivers who attempt to help them.
A woman with chronic vestibulitis may trace the onset of the pain to inflammation due to irritants (shampoo, soap, detergent, feminine hygiene products) or with infection (yeast, herpes, human papillomavirus) or other trauma to the tissue.
However, the symptoms can appear with no known cause or may be associated with several causes or a sequence of contributing factors, including response to medical or surgical treatments. Symptoms may also progress.
The condition ranges from a minor annoyance to severe pain that prevents or seriously impedes daily activities, affecting what one women characterized as "sitting, sex, and sports."
Another woman reported that some days she was unable to walk without excruciating pain, and would lie in bed every morning, crying, wondering which underpants would be bearable to try to wear.
The painful tissue may look essentially normal under examination, or it may whiten when swabbed with a vinegar solution. Biopsy may show chronic, nonspecific inflammation. Whatever the initial cause, it seems possible that for some people pain pathways are activated that do not deactivate when the source of irritation has been removed or ameliorated.
Initial treatment needs to be as gentle and noninvasive as possible. The first line of response is to remove any possible environmental irritants - deodorant products, laundry soap, bubble bath, scented soaps or toilet tissue, or contact with highly chlorinated water or synthetic fabric.
Preservatives in topical medications may exacerbate the condition. Even pantyhose or the elastic in cotton underwear can be implicated. If urine irritates the tender tissue, spraying or rinsing with water after urinating may help.
Some people discover that they are sensitive to foods and that the pain gradually dissipates after eliminating such substances as caffeine or sugar from their regular diet.
Once irritants have been eliminated, it may take the tissue some time to heal and become pain free. In fact, some people report an initial worsening of symptoms as over-stimulated nerves seem to retain their sensitivity. This can be very discouraging and can confuse certainty as to whether the treatment is helping or not.
Symptomatic treatment includes sitz-baths, anesthetic gels (lidocaine), topical steroid creams (for 14 days or less to prevent skin atrophy), pain medications, or low doses of antidepressant (sometimes given with an antispasmodic) to deactivate the pain pathways.
More aggressive medical and surgical treatments may include laser surgery to burn off the painful tissue, or plastic surgery in an attempt to remove the source of the pain. Unfortunately, the invasive techniques can themselves complicate matters by ultimately creating more or different kinds of pain. They have proved to be controversial in terms of outcome.
Do any tests need to be done to diagnose the condition?
What treatment do you recommend?
Will any topical or oral medications be prescribed? What are the side effects?
When will this resolve?

In an added twist, Jacobs was buried with his cell phone fully charged. Mourners were startled when the first post-mortem call arrived during the burial service. Jacob's wife, Marian Seltzer, even had Jacobs' headstone engraved with his phone number. Family and friends continue to leave voice messages for Jacobs, taking comfort in this facsimile of his presence.
Fox News reported about Charles Whlting of Irvington, NY, who kept his wife's voicemail active since 2005. Whlting, 80, kept the account active so that he could listen to Catherine Whlting's voice on the outgoing message. In 2008, a change in the voicemail system brought this story to light, as Whlting thought the recording was lost. Whlting blamed Verizon saying, "Now they took her voice away." Luckily a Verizon contractor was able to locate an archived copy of the recording and restored Catherine Whlting's voice to the system.
For a dose of the paranormal, a UK-man believes that he's receiving text messages from his deceased wife, who, like Jacobs, was buried with her mobile telephone. "She always had a mobile with her," Jacobs told The Register. " We buried her with her phone. There have been messages with words Sadie would say but there's no number."

Time zone+ 1 GMT but -1 hour on the Canaries Islands. Winter time applies.
LanguageSpanish and Castilian are the official languages. Regional dialects are widely spoken, like Valentian Catalan, Galician, Basque, Asturian, Leonese, Extremadurian, Aragonese, eonavian, fala, aranese and Portuguese.
Entry requirementsNeither passport nor visa is required for European citizens of the Member States. A valid identity card is sufficient. Most of the European driving licenses are accepted.
Travelling with petsSmall sized pets like cats, dogs and ferrets must travel with animal passport (in force since 2004) and have an identification microchip or tattoo. Also, they must be vaccinated against rabies.
Health and safetyBoth private and public health structures are excellent. No vaccination is required, although it is advisable to vaccinate against the hepatitis A and B. It is also advisable to bring the magnetic card for health assistance.
General safety is good, there are no particular danger zones, even though it is necessary to remind that the terrorist group ETA has revoked on 5th June 2007 the unilateral truce which began in march 2006, therefore the risk of attacks is now higher.
ClimateSpain is characterised by different kinds of climates. On the coast, the climate is Mediterranean (mild winters and very hot summers). The Atlantic regions and Galicia enjoy an oceanic climate, mild but quite rainy. Moving inland and in the region of the Meseta, the climate tends to have sub continental or continental characteristics (not too cold winters and hot summers). In the south-east peninsular area the climate turns dry or even desert, with less than 300 mm rain, whereas along the inner cordillera and on the Pyreneans it is very cold. The Canary Islands are characterised by a subtropical climate with high temperatures and very few rain.
Form of governmentParliamentary monarchy
EconomySpain joined the European Economic Union in 1986, and since then, the country has undertaken a real economic development, which only relented in the last years. The key industrial sectors are steel industry and mechanics. The agricultural field is diminished by the harsh nature of the territory and the climate. It mainly concentrates on the production of wheat, corn, rice, barley, rye, citrus fruits, vineyards. Fishing is an active sector.
Mining resources are relevant, in particular iron, lead, zinc, pyrites and mercury. Tourism is currently the most developed sector in Spain, and in the la test years the country became one of the world top destinations.

Humans are polyclonal beings since each one of us is born of
a unique fertilization event. Rarely, however, two babies can
develop from a single embryo producing monoclonal babies.
Referred to as monozygotic (MZ), identical twins are true
reproductive clones; like Dolly they share a genome but
breathe a sovereign existence.
Taking place every 50 seconds worldwide, MZ twinning
is more prevalent than any genetic disease yet its cause
has remained enigmatic.

One of two things bother's me these days.
1. People eating the store bought flavoured greek yogurt(example, strawberry). Which although fat-free are obviously not going to do you much good as they are loaded with sugar.
2. People who say they eat this store bought flavoured greek yogurt because plain greek yogurt is disgusting by itself.
I care to disagree.
This greek yogurt is honestly delicious and because it's so low in fat you can eat a whole 3/4-cup of it and still not feel guilty. I look forward to this everyday as a go to quick snack. But it would also make a great dessert! Here's the recipe..
-3/4 cup plain greek yogurt
-2 tsp splenda or other sweetener(*or more to taste)
-1/2 tsp vanilla(again, feel free to add more or less)
-2 tsp Raspberry crystal light or 1 tbsp raspberry torani sugar-free syrup(HIGHLY reccommend!)
-A handful of fresh raspberries/blueberries or strawberries(You could also stir in defrosted frozen fruit!)
-Sugar-free maple syrup for drizzling
Stir together the vanilla, splenda and raspberry syrup or crystal light until combined.
Top with chopped fruit, a sprinkle more of splenda and a drizzle of sugar-free maple syrup(best part..)
-Add unsweetened coconut or coconut extract with some pineapple chunks
-Add slivered almonds, pecans or walnuts
-Add maple extract
-Add lemon extract
-Stir in half a banana
-Stir in cocoa powder and sugar-free chocolate jell-o mix(add additional sweetener)
-add mint extract to vanilla/cocoa powder
-Do small bowls of different flavours and combine in a parfait(I do raspberry and vanilla!)
-Blend with fresh fruit and a little milk
Nutrition Facts for original Recipe:
12 carbs, 0g fat, 8g sugar(Natural sugar!)
Hope I changed your opinion of greek yogurt! Enjoy! 🙂

The first glimmers of hope begin to shine from the nuclear crisis in Japan, but they will do little to brighten the views of some about nuclear power. As the disaster at Fukushima has shown, nuclear certainly has risks, as do all forms of energy. But the disaster has also reminded us that it's really hard to get people to change their minds about a risk, once those minds have been made up. And close-mindedness isn't the brightest, or safest, way to make the healthiest possible choices about how to stay safe.
As a TV reporter in Boston I covered several nuclear power controversies. Seabrook. Pilgrim. Yankee Rowe. These were great stories... lead stories... because they involved possible public exposure to nuclear radiation, and everybody knows that's really dangerous. My stories were full of ominous drama and alarm. But when I joined the Harvard School of Public Health and researched nuclear power for a chapter in a book, RISK, A Practical Guide for Deciding What's Really Safe and What's Really Dangerous in the World Around You, I was ashamed to learn how uninformed and misleading my alarmism had been. Ionizing radiation is indeed a carcinogen. But it's not nearly as potent as most people fear.
94,000 survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki have been followed for 66 years by epidemiologists from around the world and, compared to normal cancer rates in Japan, only about 500 of those survivors have died because of the radiation. About two thirds of one percent. The radiation also caused birth defects in children born to women pregnant when they were exposed, but no long term genetic damage. These findings are widely accepted in the scientific community. Governments around the world base their radiation regulations on them.
But that evidence is rejected by people who have made up their minds about nuclear power. They reject the reassuring evidence from respected neutral organizations and substitute their own, from sources like Greenpeace or others that have a well-established anti-nuclear posture. Which is interesting, because this is just what many of those anti-nuclear activists accuse the conservative right of doing on climate change; denying the science, using only the facts that fit their pre-conceived views, quoting only the experts who agree with them. What they're doing with nuclear power is sort of like complaining about people who argue against climate change by citing facts from close-minded right wing science deniers like Senator James Inhofe or Rush Limbaugh, then turning around and doing the same thing.
Chris Mooney writes on Desmogblog, "Are Liberals Science Deniers: Now's a Good Time to Find Out." He refers to the nuclear debate as "a natural experiment in the politicization of science," and optimistically bets that anti-nuclear liberals will be more open-minded and respectful of the scientific evidence than conservatives. And indeed some of his respondents, and comments elsewhere, come from self-identified liberals who are open to consideration of nuclear power.
But liberal inflexibility about nuclear power is still widespread. Peter Canellos of the Boston Globe writes about strident anti-nuke Helen Caldicott trying to "brace up wobbly liberals who look to nuclear energy as a cure for global warming." Writers responding to a blog I wrote for NPR, "Nuke-O-Noia Could be the Greatest Threat to Japan," in which I suggested the health impacts of fear could do more harm than the radiation - as the UN found was the case after Chernobyl - said: "Do you need references to other studies that show different statistics for TMI and Chernobyl? I'm stunned." And: "Nuclear Propaganda Radio. I'm giving my financial support to Democracy Now," a liberal radio program that's avowedly anti-nuclear.
More thoughtful liberals maintain their anti-nuke positions by saying it's unaffordable, or we haven't figured out how to dispose of the waste, or that spending on nuclear denies economic support for renewables. Much of which is rooted in a fear of nuclear radiation that flies in the face of the biological facts. Nuclear radiation is dangerous, but not as much as those rooted fears believe. That puts the tradeoffs of nuclear power compared with other energy sources in a whole new light.
But the point here is not about nuclear power. The observation here is that our perception of risk is never a neutral unbiased view of the evidence. The psychology of how we perceive and respond to risk is an affective mix of facts and how those facts feel. And once we've made up our mind about a risk, Confirmation Bias takes over and we choose to believe the evidence that agrees with what we already believe. True liberals, non-wobbly liberals, are supposed to oppose nuclear power. Period. True conservatives, for some reason, are supposed to deny climate change. Period. Find the facts that fit. Toss out the inconvenient truths. Personally denigrate anyone who disagrees, because other views are not just a different way of looking at things. They're a threat. These are litmus test issues for who gets to belong to the tribe, and who doesn't.
That sort of thinking may be a deep seated part of how we perceive risk, but it's risky in and of itself. Closed-mindedness is self-evidently dangerous. It may feel safe to steadfastly wave the tribal standard, but it's surely a wobbly way to make decisions about energy policy, or any other risk, if we want to make the most informed and healthiest choices.

Andre Villas-Boas' Group K leaders Tottenham head to Moldova tonight to face Sheriff Tiraspol in the Europa League. But where is Tiraspol, and who are FC Sheriff? Only Metro has the answer.
Sheriff are the top team in Moldova
Veaceslav Rusnac's men head their domestic table with just one defeat from 12 matches so far this season and are already four points clear of second-placed Veris FC Singerei.
Tiraspol is in the breakaway state of Transnistria
Moldova's second-largest city has a population in the region of 200,000. Most fans will come from the country's capital, Chisinau, tonight. Transnistria is located on a strip of land between the River Dniester and the eastern Moldovan border with Ukraine.
MORE: Spurs close in on deal to sign 'new Luka Modric'
Sheriff have drawn both their Group K games
Fair play to the boys from Tiraspol, they are currently unbeaten in Group K of the Europa League, having drawn 0-0 against Anzhi Makhachkala and 1-1 against Tromso in Norway.
They have won 12 Divizia Nationala titles
Since the Moldovan Premier League was founded in 2001, Sheriff have won 12 of the 13 championships on offer. Dacia Chisinau are the only team to have denied them in that period. They have also twice reached the group stages of the Europa League.
MORE: Inter Milan eye January move for Spurs' Sandro
The club crest is a proper American sheriff's badge!
In fact, the club was founded in 1997 by former policeman Viktor Gushan, who worked for the sheriff in Moldova. The club first entered the Moldovan second division and then earned promotion to the Divizia Nationala. They still have a proper sheriff's badge as their crest.
Moldova play their home matches at the Sheriff
Often the Zimbru Stadium in the capital Chisinau is used for international fixtures – as with England's 5-0 World Cup qualifying win there in September 2012 – but the Sheriff in Tiraspol is their alternative venue, holding 14,300 supporters.
MORE: Vertonghen says Townsend can be the new Bale
Sheriff have half-a-dozen Brazilian imports
Some great-named Brazilians are in Rusnac's squad: Kadu, Jhulliam, William Thuram, Ricardinho, Henrique Luvannor and just plain old Fernando. Tiraspol also have a Spaniard, an Israeli and an Ivorian among their ranks.

We have had major progress in the house! It is day 12 and last night we let the kitties roam free, drank a bottle of wine and let them sort out their stuff. What started out as hissing and growling by Sasha has turned in the last 24 hours into play and prowling. I think they are still working out who is the boss in the house, my feeling is that it is Sasha. But it was so great to watch Sasha turn from being scared last week, to prowling around after this kitten around the house. They had a stand off last night which resulted in Sasha rolling around on the floor meowing and Piper doing the same! So cute. Sasha even caught a bug and gave it to Piper. We separated them to sleep last night but since 6am they wanted to see each other again and they have have been playing hide and seek and swatting each other from around the glass or behind a box!
Super excited it looks like we will be a family of four.
(The Ginger Hunk was never going to give the little one back though. Let's face it!)
It is a very happy friday for us, hope it is for you as well!

Here are our recommendations:
Dansko Women's Professional Box Leather Clog

Unfortunately, if you are looking for cheap white nursing shoes, these aren't the ones: You'll pay a premium for the quality and name, but it's probably worth it to have a great shoe!

Nursing Shoes: Most Comfortable (Great For Problem Feet!)
If you have to be on your feet for 12-hour shifts and/or you suffer from any ailments like plantar fasciitis, flat feet or a bad back, comfortable nursing shoes aren't just a plus, they're a necessity.
You need something that stays on your foot without squishing your toes and that has plenty of support. Memory foam insoles are icing on the cake! So where are all the comfy shoes for nurses?
Here are our picks:
Alegria Women's Kayla Clog
These make stellar orthopedic nursing shoes because they come with a comfortable cork, memory foam and leather-covered latex footbed that you might love, but even if you don't, you can remove it and use your own custom orthotics instead.
This pair of Alegria shoes for nurses features a stain-resistant leather upper and you can get it in all white, all black and a number of other colors like snakeskin, "golden jungle" and numerous floral designs. A great choice if you need supportive shoes for nurses and/or have any foot ailments.

|Not a high back, might be easier to slip out of

Merrell Women's Encore Breeze 3 Slip-On Shoe
This is one of the best shoes for nurses with plantar fasciitis because there's plenty of room for specialty orthotics.
This pair of Merrell nursing shoes is comfortable and easy to slip on, although some might not like the 3/4 ankle height because your foot can slide out too easily. They feature a simple streamlined look that comes in a number of colors including sky blue and spring green.
That being said, they're not inexpensive and aren't as easy to wipe clean as shoes with a smooth upper.
|Plenty of room for custom orthodics
|Synthetic material
|Number of solid color options
|Harder to wipe clean because of textured surface

There's oodles of room for custom orthotics and even though laces can be a pain, they allow you to get a custom fit. Some nurses have had trouble double-knotting the laces, so consider buying longer ones in addition to shoes. These are great lightweight nursing shoes that won't make your feet drag.
|Laces may be too short to double knot
|Stylish sporty look
|Lots of color options including sparkly choices
|May run small
|Room for custom orthodics
|Slip-resistant soles

Best Men's Nursing Shoes
It shouldn't be so hard to find male nursing shoes — you need safe, comfortable footwear as much as your female coworkers. And while men have been in the medical field since its inception, your relatively recent debut in the nursing world makes nursing shoes for men a little trickier to find. Right or wrong, people picture Florence Nightingale before Edward Lyon.
That means that you might have to search outside the box to find the best shoes for male nurses: Think of looking at shoes for restaurant workers or for folks in factories with slippery floors. The good news? We already did the hard work for you. We scoured the internet to find you the best nursing shoes for men based on comfort, non-slip soles, and water resistant exteriors, even if they aren't marketed directly at the male nurse.
Here are our recommendations:
Skechers for Work Men's Felton Slip Resistant Relaxed-Fit Work Shoe
Yes, the picture is of a black shoe, but these comfortable, lightweight work shoes do come in white, making them perfect white men's nursing shoes.
You'll love the memory foam padded insoles and that the exterior won't absorb any fluids you come in contact with. Plus, these shoes will look just as great with a pair of jeans after work as they did with scrubs in the OR.

KEEN Utility Men's PTC Oxford Work Shoe
If you are looking for a work-boot-style as opposed to clogs for male nurses, this shoe has it all.

The price tag makes these shoes an investment, but if you need shoes for male nurses that will hold up over time, these will do the trick.

Nursing Shoes Buying Guide
Buying nursing shoes isn't particularly difficult, but there are so many choices they might be overwhelming. You're probably filled with questions, so here are a few answers that can help you decide which one is right for you!
Do I have to spend a lot of money on fancy brand names?
Let's face it, nursing shoes can be expensive, especially if you're interested in quality brands like Dankso. These shoes are often made of leather, a material which almost always holds up longer than synthetic alternatives.
If longevity is your main concern, spending more usually works in your favor. You are buying one pair of shoes to last you two years, rather than a new pair each year.
That being said, you can get a comfortable and cute pair of shoes for a decent price, just have reasonable expectations for its lifespan.
How important is a no-slip sole?
Well, how often are you slipping around right now? If you don't have non-slip shoes on your feet today and you have nearly face-planted a few times, we recommend getting something made to resist slipping as soon as possible.
Otherwise, it depends on exactly where in a hospital or practice you work. If you run a lot, or are constantly cleaning up spills, you might want to find a shoe that specializes in dealing with wet floors.
What should I look for if I need a comfortable shoe?
First things first: you need a good fit. A pair of one nurse's comfortable shoes are a pair of another's nurses most uncomfortable shoes if the sizing is off. That's why should make sure to read reviews before buying a pair: do these shoes run small? Big? Wide? Too narrow?
Next, consider the insole. Memory foam or another cushioned support can make you feel like you're walking on clouds instead of concrete.
Finally, what about the material? A rubber or synthetic shoe might cause your feet to sweat, making the shoes uncomfortable after a couple hours. Leather or breathable fabric, on the other hand, could keep your toes cool and dry.
Should I choose something colorful? Or muted?
Unless your hospital or practice requires white medical shoes, you have the option to invest in something more striking or eye-catching. But do you want to? That's largely up to your personality and your need for functionality.
If you want people to notice your shoes, there's always that pink zebra print. If you need something to go with your patterned scrubs, consider a solid-colored shoe. If you'd prefer a shoe that can double as street-wear, basic black might work best.
Are there any attractive nursing shoes that won't hurt my feet or fall apart?
Absolutely! A good pair of leather sneakers can easily meet your needs: you can usually find something sleek and stylish, leather is durable, and if there's good arch support and a cushioned insole, you'll be good to go in the comfort department.
Plus, tennis shoes can double as street wear, particularly if you purchase them in black.
How many pairs of nursing shoes do I need?
You could probably make do with only one pair, but keep in mind that unless they're specifically waterproof, they could get wet and take time to dry out. If you purchase a second pair, there are a number of benefits.
First of all, you could get a solid, muted color that goes with everything, and a "fun shoe" for days when you need a little pep in your step.
You could also get both clogs and tennis shoes so you could switch it up depending on your mood, or what kind of work day you're expecting (For example, if you think you'll be running a lot, consider grabbing those sneakers).
Finally, having a second (or third) pair of kicks means it'll take much longer for each pair to wear out. That way if your "favorite" model gets discontinued in the future, you'll still have the shoe you loved.
Should I go with a clog/slip-on style, or a sneaker with laces?
Clogs make great easy on/off shoes, and you never have to worry about your laces coming untied. Sneakers are typically lightweight and made for jogging up and down hallways.
Some nurses dislike how bulky a clog can feel, and think the heavy weight isn't conducive to an active job. Tennis shoes, on the other hand, offer a slimmer profile and fit the athletic nature of nursing.
That being said, it's more challenging to find water-resistant sneakers, and lacing up your shoes over and over again can become tedious.
You'll need to ask yourself what your priorities are, and choose the style of shoe that meets those needs most effectively.
So remind me, why do I need nursing shoes?
Well, you weren't going to walk around a hospital bare foot, now were you? 😉
You need nursing shoes because these are shoes specifically designed with your unique occupation in mind. They'll keep your feet comfortable, keep your body safe (no slipping) and the right pair will look super with your scrubs.
Happy shopping!

The world has plenty of different speedy weight loss plans to offer you. There's a problem many of them share: By restricting your diet too aggressively, they leave you feeling unsatisfied and hungry all the time. Without an iron will, you'll inevitably cave into your hunger and abandon these plans before hitting your target weight. Instead, try this simple three-pronged plan for losing weight fast. These are the best benefits of the plan:
* A significant reduction in your appetite.
* Fast and significant weight loss without undue hunger.
* Metabolic improvements for long-term health and sustainability.
1) Minimize Your Intake Of Starches And Sugars
The key modification you need to make to your diet is to cut out as many starches (i.e. carbohydrates) and sugars as you can. There's a hormonal reason for this: these nutrients at the biggest culprits for ramping up your body's production of insulin. Higher insulin levels translate into more fat production.
Keeping your insulin levels low, in contrast, will encourage your body to start making use of the energy it's already stored away in the form of body fat. Low insulin levels will also help you get rid of water weight (and feel less bloated) by encouraging your kidneys to work more effectively.
The combination of lost water weight and burned-up body fat will enable you to drop a significant chunk of weight very quickly. Losing 10 pounds in your first week is not uncommon.
In terms of longer-term progress, lowering your insulin levels is good because it will make your use energy more efficiently. You'll experience little hunger even as you automatically lower your total calorie intake. The increased amount of body fat being consumed will keep your weight headed steadily downward.
2) Eat More Protein, Vegetables, And Healthy Fats
Each meal you eat should consist primarily of protein, healthy fats, and low-carb vegetables. Using this trinity as your meal-planning guide will let you put together nutritious and satisfying meals that keep your total carbohydrate intake in the ideal weight-loss range – between 20 and 50 grams a day in total.
Here are great protein sources to use:
* Meats – beef, pork, lamb, chicken, bacon, etc.
* Seafood – salmon, shrimp, trout, lobster, etc.
* Eggs – Use eggs that have been pasteurized and/or enriched with Omega-3 fatty acids for best results.
The benefits of a high-protein diet for weight loss simply cannot be emphasized enough. More protein will boost your metabolism to a higher level and encourage the consumption of excess body fat. A high-protein diet is also terrific at keeping you feeling full and satisfied. Studies have shown that switching to a high-protein diet will cut between-meal snacking by half, reduce food cravings by roughly 60 percent, and lead to an average reduction in daily calorie consumption of over 400 calories. Protein is an absolutely vital tool in your kit to promote weight loss.
As noted above, your weight loss diet also needs to include healthy vegetables that don't have lots of carbs. Examples Include:
* Leafy Greens – kale, spinach, swiss chard, cabbage, lettuce
* Succulents – cucumber, celery
* Roughage – cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts
If you want to pig out, do it by going back for second helpings of these handy vegetables. You can eat a virtually unlimited amount of low-carb vegetables without approaching your net daily carb limit (20 to 50 grams, remember).
Eating meats and vegetables will give you all of the essential nutrients (e.g. vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber) you need to stay healthy. There aren't any special nutrients found in grain-based foods that make them absolutely necessary to a healthy diet.
Healthy Fats:
* Butter
* Olive Oil
* Tallow
* Coconut Oil
* Avocado Oil
Fats aren't inherently evil when you're trying to lose weight. In fact, trying to assemble a diet that is both low-carb and low-fat is a recipe for failure. These two nutrients are essentially polar opposites; any healthy and satisfying diet needs one or the other.
For cooking purposes, coconut oil reigns supreme. It delivers terrific medium chain triglycerides, commonly called MCTs. These healthy fats are extremely filling and they even cause a modest metabolic boost.
Natural fats aren't anything you need to shy away from. The latest nutritional research has even redeemed saturated fat. Contrary to earlier studies, modern data shows that it has no adverse effect on your risk of suffering from heart disease.
Check out this list of low-carb recipes and use this low-carb meal planner to help you adjust your diet. Each meal needs a healthy vegetable, a source of fat, and a source of protein. Stick to this make-up for all your meals and you'll soon have your insulin levels plummeting.
3) 3 Strength Training Sessions Every Week
Although the dietary changes outlined above will help you lose weight even if you don't increase your physical activity levels, a little exercise is strongly recommended.
Aim for three to four workouts each week. Each one should include a warm-up, a weight-lifting session, and a stretching session.
Lifting weights is a great way to burn off a few more calories. More importantly, it keeps your metabolism high and prevents lethargy as you lose weight.
While weight-lifting is the most efficient form of exercise out there, it might not fit your specific abilities. More cardio-focused options like walking, swimming, jogging, or running can also work. Strength training is preferable to cardio training if at all possible.
Cutting your carb intake and keeping your insulin levels down will make your body an ally in your weight-loss struggle instead of an opponent. Setting the right hormonal balance will keep your appetite in check and make it easier to stick with your new, healthy diet.

text: Hello, I am looking for a solution of the following problem. Email users at our main email server can use two different versions of an email address - one with the name of the server and one without: user at bgu.ac.il and user at bgumail.bgu.ac.il Is there any easy way to inform Mailmain that these two addresses are in fact the same (sort of sender address aliasing) ? Otherwise, a user who is subscribed with the long version of address, and sends mail with the short version in "From", will have his message rejected like one from a non-member etc. Thank you in advance for any idea, Marina Markus Ben-Gurion University Computer Center ============================= mary at bgu.ac.il

Plants for a Mediterranean Garden - Introduction
This entry was posted on July 1, 2013.
The Mediterranean features a beautifully diverse range of flora, but there's absolutely no reason for it to remain over there. Many Mediterranean plants have made the leap to English gardens, creating subtle exotic interests to extremely great effect.
Whether you're looking to structure your entire garden after a geographical theme, or just looking to inject a little Mediterranean flair, you can't go wrong with any of the following, as long as they're provided with a sunny site and well-drained soil.
Olives and Figs (Olea europa and Ficus carica) are excellent choices, adding distinctive Mediterranean flair. Of course, few species feel more naturally Mediterranean than palms, and the Chusan palm (Trachycarpus fortunei) and the Fan palm (Chamaerops humilis) provide a unique aesthetic and atmosphere. Though we would be neglectful not to quickly mention Cupressus sempervirens, the Italian cypress. This narrow, columnar evergreen features dark, dense foliage, and works especially well as an architectural or coastal plant.
Alternatively, Vitis vinifera is a common vine perfect for ornamentation, particularly with the delicious autumn grapes for eating and processing. Aromatics also provide scent, flower, and attract the bees. We particularly recommend Lavender and Rosemary (Lavandula and Rosmarinus).
In addition to these, a number of classic topiaries contribute Mediterranean charm, particularly Laurus nobilis, Prunus lusitanica (Portuguese laurel) and Buxus sempervirens. We've got a post covering some of these options, or you can head straight on over to our full topiary range. They're perfect for planting in borders around patios, pools, gravel gardens or seating. Just add sun and you're good to go!

NHG Geriatric Medicine Residency Programme
Resident's Talk
"This program aims to provide an enriching and comprehensive training for the development of well-rounded future Geriatricians."
Dr Ho Peiying Esther
Chief Resident
Geriatric Medicine
The NHG Geriatric Medicine Residency Programme is a 3-year training programme, with its first two years accredited by the ACGME-I (Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education-International). During this period, the senior resident will finish compulsory core postings that grant him/her the competence to act as a Geriatric Consultant in different settings of care. The final year of training further develops the resident's competency in his/her intended setting of care, subspecialty, or academic interest. He/she can also explore specific fields of interest such as models of geriatric care, frailty, nutrition in the elderly, and geriatric syndromes such as falls, incontinence, and dementia. Upon completion of the 3-year programme, the resident will achieve an accreditation by the Singapore Specialist Accreditation Board and become certified as a specialist in Geriatric Medicine.
The pilot Department of Geriatric Medicine was first established by Emeritus Dr FJ Jayaratnam in 1988 at Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH). Geriatricians are heavily involved in clinical, translational, and health services research, which equip them with exceptional knowledge and skills to care for the elderly. Apart from establishing programmes and services for the acute care of the elderly, Geriatricians play an important role in the management of frail elderly across home-based and institutional care settings in the country.
Our main partner, Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, offers a comprehensive range of medical services and specialist care to the community in the north of Singapore. The Department of Geriatric Medicine is well-established with a strong culture for teaching and research. We also partner with Ren Ci Community Hospital, Yishun Community Hospital, Dover Park Hospice, Institute of Mental Health, Changi General Hospital, the Departments of Palliative Medicine, Rehabilitation Medicine, and the Continuing and Community Care at Tan Tock Seng Hospital.

Are you looking to give your bedroom a luxurious look? Well, there are numerous options for interior designers in HSR Layout and when it comes to giving your bedroom a luxe look there are certain interior design ideas for bedroom that can prove to be a help as spending a fortune over the furniture can't guarantee a luxurious look. Some of which are as follows:
- Manage little things: The core hides in the smallest details and that is the reason why one needs to focus on them. Be it the flower vase or the paintings. It's a kind of the grand makeovers you can make with little things.
- Upgrade your bedding: Comfort goes hand in hand with luxury. Also, when it comes to bedrooms, then it is the bed which holds the most important position. Alur Home, the best interior designers in HSR layout offers a variety of bedding designs and accessories along with an unbelievable customization facility.
- Proper space utilization: The main thing about the hotel rooms is that they include a package of everything within them be it the walking closet, reading space or that little bar section. The same arrangement can be done in your own bedroom as well. Based on your needs and space you can use each corner of youth bedroom efficiently.
- Light it up! : No space is complete without the perfect lightings. While each one of us knows that the LED lights are something very much in, the trick is basically how to utilize these lights. They can be even put in closets or for bedside lamps depending on the taste.
Keep the floor of the bedroom neat & empty: That is more upon how the cleanliness & organization is kept by you as a cluttered room never looks a luxury, so always keep the floor tidy and orderly with no stacks of cords or books lying around.
- Rearrange your vanity: There is a major need to rearrange the vanity like any other corner of the bedroom as a messy vanity can make your whole bedroom look untidy. There are many options nowadays for organizing all the stuff of vanity. For example. makeup organizers, stackable chests etc. which can easily be customized at Alur home;best interior designers in HSR layout
- Fill up your throw pillows: We all like the overfilled pillows kept in the hotel rooms and they actually add up to the luxury of the bedroom transforming it from the daily looking usual bed to the luxurious bedroom. Even, putting up of a variety of pillows and cushions also add up to the beauty of a bedroom.
- Upgrade your hardware: Keep updating your hardware too along with other up gradations. Replacing hardware with new ones is an economic affair and there are so many ways to personalize the look like gemstones, copper, crystals etc. which are readily available at the interior designers in HSR layout.
- Go Green: Adding up a little greenery can make the room look expensive. Small potted plants can add up to the beauty of the bedroom. No matter what but putting up a few plants can make any space look plush.

We're great fans of the John Masters Organics range and have been using their hair care and colour range since we opened in 2011 and more recently their skin care range at Pure Beauty at pHd.
Super Natural Beauty
Their products have come a long way in the last twenty years, from being mixed by John in his kitchen sink to featuring more than 30 luxury organic products sold internationally.
The John Masters Organics philosophy is something we also love. They believe that having great hair and skin doesn't need to harm the earth.
Their dedication to organic beauty has resulted in a range of Super Natural Beauty products made using ingredients grown and harvested organically or wild-crafted.
Strictly Organic
All ingredients must meet John's strict guidelines:
- All products must be made with 70-100% organic content
- No sodium lauryl sulfate, parabens, DEAs, MEAs, or TEAs
- No GMOs (Genetically Modified Organism)
- No animal testing
- No artificial colours, fragrances or fillers
- All plant extracts and essential oils must be certified organic whenever possible
- All essential oils used must be steam-distilled and not extracted with propylene glycol – which kills the effect of the oils
- All plant oils must be cold pressed, not heat distilled – which kills the therapeutic properties of plant oils
- All ingredients must be proven to be beneficial to the hair or skin
- All ingredients must be harvested in an environmentally-friendly manner (wild-crafted)
- All ingredients must be as bio-degradable as possible
John Masters Organics are also conscious of looking after the animal world and the only animal products used are honey and beeswax.
Simply admired
The John Masters Range is respected and admired worldwide, so join stars, such as Jessica Alba, Alicia Silverstone, Oliver Thornton and Nelly Furtado who all love their products.
Come to the salon and find out what all the fuss is about!
