2018 3rd QUARTER NEWSLETTER
Neil D. Paolella, CPA October 2018
Stocks had their best third quarter since 2013, entering the fourth quarter of 2018 near all time high levels, but under a cloud of turmoil caused by accelerating interest rates, inflation, a contentious presidential mid-term election and an international trade fight with China. The S&P 500 gained 7.2% in the third quarter, its best performance since the end of 2013. That left this popular US index up 9.0% on a year-to-date basis at September 30. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 9% during the quarter, pulling this index into the black for the YTD, up 7.0%. The Nasdaq Composite rose 7.1%, extending its streak of gains to nine consecutive quarters and putting it in double digit gain territory for 2018, up 16.6% YTD. These major stock market indexes ended the quarter within 1% of their all-time highs. Small stocks also participated in the good news, but lagged a bit, only up about 3%. However, through the first 9 months they are up a respectable 10.5% as measured by the Russell 2000 index.
Outside of the US, almost every market is down, and down significantly. The strong dollar has been a major factor, as the actions of our Federal Reserve Bank reversing eight years of monetary policy accommodation while raising interest rates take effect. This depresses the share price of foreign stocks (after price conversion to US dollars) and causes US investors to pull back on their overseas holdings. In addition, many foreign businesses, especially in the emerging markets, borrow money denominated in our currency. When the dollar rises in value, it makes their debt payments more expensive. Finally, the pro-growth policies of the current administration has provided a tailwind for domestic companies and stands in stark contrast to just about every economy outside of our borders, attracting investors into the US.
A storm of events arriving in the first 10 days of October overshadowed the third quarter's good news, bringing a violent and sudden drop in both stock and bond prices. In just two back-to-back trading days, the Dow Jones fell 1400 points (about 5%), while the Nasdaq Composite plunged over 8%, led by steep selloffs in the popular "FAANG" stocks- Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflicks and Google. The two day carnage gave us the worst start to October since the 2008 financial crisis. The chief culprit behind this upheaval was a sudden surge in interest rates, coupled with an unsettling announcement from our Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, taking investors by surprise. Global markets, which had badly lagged behind our domestic markets all year, fell a similar amount as the panic spread worldwide.
Fed Chair Powell's Comments Ignite Global Conflagration
A tsunami of worry was created when, just a few days after hiking short-term interest rates another 0.25% on the last day of September, in a widely watched TV interview our Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said that "we're a long way from neutral at this point, probably". This comment was akin to someone yelling "fire" in a crowded theater. His comment indicated that the Fed's path forward in increasing rates was likely to be at a faster pace and more agenda driven than data driven, something the financial markets did not expect nor want to hear. A rush to the exits ensued. So, what exactly is "neutral" in Fed-speak? It's a theoretical point where the Fed raises short term rates to where they would be naturally, without Fed intervention. Rates above neutral signify tight policy, while rates below neutral imply loose or accommodative policy. The problem with this is that no one really knows exactly where neutral actually is! And therein lies the issue- attempts at finding neutral have historically been a hit or miss, with several large upside misses that have caused our economy to fall into a recession when rates were pushed too high.
It's Not How You Start, It's how you Finish that Counts.
Concurrent with the Fed raising short-term rates and Powell's Faux Pas, both mid and long-term rates spiked. The 10 year Treasury bond yield eclipsed 3.25%, its highest level in about seven years, up from 2.85% just a month or so ago. The rapid rate of change unsettled the markets, causing most all types of bond prices to fall significantly. Investors are worried that the Fed, who has a history of going too far and too fast with rate increases, will deliver another expansion ending policy mistake, and rather than engineer a soft landing, will push our economy into a recession. Recessions always exact a toll on the price of stocks. Rising interest rates don't have to hurt our economy, so long as they are increasing for the right reasons- robust growth in the economy. It's when they are advancing due to Fed over exuberance, or because of high inflation that inflicts damage. A gradual and data driven pace of rate change is the key.
Will a Mid-term Melee affect Financial Markets?
The usual political bickering in Washington, along with the coming midterm elections, can largely be dismissed as "noise" by investors, who are focused more on data showing a robust pace of job creation and economic expansion. History shows us that a split Congress has little effect on financial markets, so should the majority in the House of Representatives change to Democrat, it shouldn't affect things positive or negative. If the House and the Senate change leadership, then we could see an end to the pro-growth policies currently in force, and this would likely cause weaker financial markets. Few analysts predict a change in the Senate, so the coming election is not likely to be a factor for investors.
Market Outlook
This market, like all markets, care about two things- the price of money (interest rates) and return on capital (growth). With the reversal of an accommodative money supply and increasing interest rates, the Fed is no longer providing a wind at our backs, so we need growth in the economy to advance stock prices. With the tax cuts passed last December, and the pro-growth agenda being implemented by the present US administration, the case for growth is in place for 2018. However, two things have recently changed- interest rates have started to surge and international growth prospects have slowed drastically. The China trade tariff situation has not helped the latter. Here is the bottom line- investor's fortunes in the next year are in the hands of our Federal Reserve and with President Trump's handling of the trade skirmish with China. If the Fed behaves, and the China situation sees some material resolution, markets will advance.
Portfolio Strategy
We have not made significant changes to our portfolio strategy since the 2016 presidential election, where we increased our risk level and emphasized large cap stocks, both which has proven beneficial. We also have benefitted greatly by what we don't own, and that is international stocks, which as a group have lost significant money this year. Considering the risks that are posed by rapidly increasing interest rates and given the history of Fed overreach, we are now on alert. Economic growth has to eclipse the headwinds caused by the increasing cost of money, so the sledding gets more difficult from here. As this is being written, we believe that the Bull market case is intact for the near term, as Bear markets don't start with a bang, they sneak up and start stealthily, catching investors unaware. However, as the risks have increased, we can envision a strategy change in the coming year. It all depends on the data and Fed action.

If you have a WordPress site and you have installed Thrive Content Builder on your site it is possible that you will have some confusion when updating a page.
When you want to update a page or a blog post, you now have a decision to make. Should you update the page using Thrive Content Builder or should you continue forward with the traditional WordPress editor?
The truth is, there is no right answer. This is completely up to you. You can just log into the page and make your changes and move on with your day. The other option is to move the content from the traditional editor to TCB.
Personally, I do not update old pages or posts to TCB just for the sake of doing it. If the page/post is getting a major update, I will then move it into TCB. However, if I am just changing a link or one single piece of the text, I do not take the time. However, I do use Thrive Content Builder to create any new pages on my site.
Bonus: Download a free checklist of the first plugins that I always install on a new WordPress Blog.
How to move content to Thrive Content Builder?
Before we get into the step-by-step let me break it down for you. You will basically cut and paste the content from the traditional WordPress editor into a document or tool such as Evernote. Then you will edit your page / post with Thrive Content Builder and paste that content back in.
Step 1: Copy and delete content from the page.
1. Click on pages
2. Click on edit
3. Copy all of the content in your editor box
Note: On my mac I use "command / a" to select all of the content. Then I use "command / c" to paste it.
4. Paste that content into Evernote or a notepad tool
5. Delete the content from your page on WordPress.
6. Update page
Note: At this stage your page should be empty.
Step 2: Add the content back to the page using Thrive Content Builder.
1. Click on "Edit with Thrive Content Builder"
Note: When you click on this, your page will spin and huff for a few moments while it loads the editor.
2. Click on Paragraph to add your first piece of text
3. Click on the text, as seen in the image below.
4. Paste your content into this area
5. Your old content should be in the page.
6. Click save. It is the big green button in the top right area of your page.
At this point you can start cleaning up any extra spaces or adding anything that you would like.
So the primary steps of transitioning your content from the traditional WordPress editor to Thrive Content Builder involves cutting and pasting. However, I would like reiterate the point that it isn't critical to move your content into TCB. It is wise to have a reason to spend your time on this task. Of course, if you want to practice using TCB, this is a great way to do it.

A fantastic day dress adapted from a 1938 pattern. This style would have been popular throughout the war years and beyond. This 40s tea dress style has many vintage details, it is superbly crafted, made in Europe and just like any vintage 40s dress the fabric behaves as it should.
This tea dress has a high neckline behind which hugs the back of the neck but allows the deep plunging cross over neckline to remain demure and not too revealing. The bodice of the dress is based on an original vintage garment and has authentic detailed gathers shirred at the shoulder and top stitched.
The cute cap sleeves hug the shoulder and create a soft silhouette. Gathers under bust creates a flattering shape enhancing a slim mid section through to the fitted waistband. With a sweeping 7-gore skirt to float you through any tea dance, it will skim the hips and flare out in that flattering 40s shape, finishing just below the knee for most ladies. The skirt is lined in a white woven viscose.
These 40s details are classic devices to help fit and flatter a curvaceous shape. A smart daywear choice for women who despair with the lack of tailoring and poor quality garments available on the high street today.
For accessories, it will work superbly with any block colour cardigan. To have a look at our current knitwear options,click here.

Eeu de Nil dress made in Europe
Teal dress is made in Great Britain
Recommended dry clean only. (We recommend dry cleaning due to the bias cut panels in the skirt and skirt lining, which can become mis-shapen after washing and in particular line drying)
Waist band is fitted and for this reason, we strongly suggest that you select your size through the waist measurements listed below. Please note this is your natural waist which is higher up than the measurement around your tummy say on modern jeans and trousers.

Style suits pear shapes, hourglass and pillar.

Great to see two Benelli's in a month, but two have popped up this holiday week ! This is an earlier example of the rear-radiator sportbike, with just dealer miles despite its litigious past.
2005 Benelli Tornado Tré for sale on eBay
After difficulties in the late 1980's, the revitalized Benelli showed the Tornado in 1999, and developed the 898cc triple with a reputed 140 hp. In concert with a desire to have the engine as far forward as possible, the radiator was located amidships with underseat fans vacuuming hot air out the back. The tube and casting chassis is Triumph-esque, with premium Brembo and Öhlins components.
The Tré has traveled but unfortunately not much under power, between storage units mostly. It appears as new except for a couple of very light marks. The owner has dealt with a couple of storage-related issues, and the ECU re-flash hopefully exorcised the lean-running midrange flat spot. From the eBay auction:
This example has now 198 original miles. I think it had 135 miles when I first got it about 6 years ago. I found it in North Carolina. It was said to come out of a storage locker. I had to chase down the original owner and pay off the bank loan to acquire title. That took a while.
I found a former Benelli technical rep who has a small shop near Pittsburgh. He helped me bring it back to life, fixed a few things and put in the current ECU map, etc. That was when first got it and Its been part of my collection ever since. More recently, I had to replace the fuel pump which went south from sitting. Back to Pittsburgh it went.
Its now again a turn key bike! You wont find a cleaner nicer example but it does have a couple small hairline scratches in the lower left green panel. See pix. That's about it. The rest is as new.
The offbeat design led to an 1130cc superbike and naked, but after a 2005 merger with Qjian Jiang the company's focus has shifted to smaller singles and scooters, though a 600cc four is still on their North American menu. Good reviews for the Tré were tempered by ECU mapping and alternator drive difficulties, but once sorted it handles great and the 900 triple is a joy. The asking price concentrates on all the good things about rarity, and maybe there is a buyer with the support network in place. In the meantime, the rest of us can enjoy a very Italian sport from 2005 with just 200 miles…

Brocket Hall's John Wells tells Hannah Gray about his plans for Christmas by the fire, his passion for Arsenal and his dream of following the Barmy Army
How old are you? 48
Tell us about your family.
I have a wife, Carol, and three children, Amy, 20, Rachel, 17, and Harry, 12.
Where do you live?
I live in Welwyn Garden City.
What is the best thing about Welwyn Garden City?
It is a well-maintained environment with good design around the town centre and good schools and communities.
What do you do for a living?
I am the estate and golf operations manager at Brocket Hall International Limited. I have worked there since 1992, helping with the rapid growth of the business since its purchase from Lord Brocket in 1996.
Tell us a bit about what your job involves.
On the golf side, I am responsible for overseeing the main golf areas including the golf shop, course maintenance, Faldo Golf Institute, members events, corporate golf events and course marshalling. On the estate side, with the support of the facilities and maintenance manager, we manage the upkeep and development of the 543-acre site.
What are the best and worst parts of your job?
The best is to see when clients and members have had a great day's golf and you meet them in the clubhouse afterwards for feedback. The worst thing is not always having enough time in a working day to complete the tasks I set out to achieve.
Does Brocket Hall have any special events planned for the festive season?
Throughout December we are offering Christmas golf packages at the clubhouse and all of the restaurants have themed menus, with Auberge Du Lac already fully booked for Christmas Day. The other special event I should mention is in early January: all the 150 staff come together for a party to celebrate the previous year's work.
Where will you spend Christmas Day?
I will be at home with my family. My sister-in-law's family and both my father and Carol's mother will be invited.
What is the best Christmas present you have ever received and why?
My best present is having the joy of watching my children open their presents on Christmas morning.
What is your favourite Christmas carol and why?
Silver Bells, because this used to be playing in the background when my parents invited neighbours and friends in for a drink on Christmas morning, which for some reason I remember from when I was a child.
Where would you spend your ideal Christmas Day and why?
As I will be spending it this year: at home with my family, starting the day with a Christmas breakfast and Champagne, having the family to lunch and then spending the afternoon and evening in the living room with the log fire and the whole family participating in games and quizzes, and finally going to bed in the early hours of Boxing Day morning.
What are your hobbies?
My hobbies are playing cricket and golf and watching all other sports, especially football. I help run a junior football team. I also enjoy following the stock market.
Do you have any unfulfilled ambitions?
Yes, running a marathon, skiing and I intend to follow the Barmy Army around the test-playing countries.
Where are the best views to be had in Hertfordshire?
Looking at the wonderful views across Brocket Estate.
What is your favourite town in Hertfordshire and why?
Old Welwyn, as it still has nice old pubs and restaurants and I meet lots of friends when I visit there, and Datchworth where for many years I played cricket on the green.
Sum up Hertfordshire in five words.
A safe place to live.
Who or what is the greatest love of your life?
My wife, children and Arsenal Football Club.

I seem of late to have annoyed more people than usual with my occasional ramblings on this site, so I guess there might be a little bit of pleasure dished into the lives of one or two people when I report that tomorrow (Friday) I am toddling off to foreign parts; to be precise Australia.
Very long term advocates of Untold will know I've done this a few times before, the purpose of the adventure being to visit my youngest daughter who has made that country her home.
Thus I have been practising standing on my head (no change there) and am ready to venture into the land of upside down.
However, as ever, Untold will not stop. Walter will take over the role of publisher and guru in chief, and our regular contributors will still be here. I'm also hoping that by clever use of smoke signals, semaphore and a very long ladder I might be able to contribute the occasional item for your delectation or annoyance, depending on your point of view.
So I don't want any misbehaviour while I am away, and I shall be asking for a full report from Walter to make sure there has been no monkey business in my absence.
It will of course be the height of summer in Oz while I am there, and it will, I must admit, be difficult to leave the land where the sun sets almost before its risen, but somehow I will be brave and cope. I am told there are one or two beers of choice out there as well, and I might be tempted to try one.
To be slightly more serious for once, I have dropped Walter in a bit of a hole this weekend since he has a big Arsenal Belgium meeting, and what with him being the President and a famous TV personality these days, it is something he has to do. I suspect big speeches will be made.
Thus the post-match instant Walter review of the game won't be quite as instant as it has been on some occasions. Apologies for that, totally my fault for being seven miles up in the air while the game against Chelsea is played.
Also the regular "on this day" service on the home page might not always be there – and indeed it certainly won't be there for a few days. But if you want to keep up with the latest you can find all of February's stories which are the source for the home page information on the Anniversary Files on the Arsenal History Society site. Indeed if you have never ventured to the Arsenal History Society site, might I suggest you might take a look? Here's the home page.

Essex Elliptical Dining Table And Chairs
Sized to fit the dinning room shown, this single plank Claro Walnut dining table will comfortably seat 6. The hand forged solid steel base allows seating at any point along the edge. Hand cut dovetail drawers with matching faces afford readily accessible storage for place mats or flat ware.
With young children the clients asked that I round off the normally hard corners of the chairs. Initially resisted changing a successful design but resolve the question with partial ellipses. They were right and I am very happy with the result.
$30,000, price may vary with cost of materials.

If you've ever visited a friend or loved one who is terminally ill, and not very responsive, you may wonder whether your visits are making a difference.
Some of the questions we hear include: "I don't feel like I am doing anything" … "The person is asleep, or falls asleep, during my visit. Should I wake them? Should I stay?" … "What should I be doing? Am I helping?" or "What should I say to the person?"
I want to assure you—your presence does make a difference. It can be difficult to be with someone who is terminally ill; it isn't always clear what to do, or say. Therefore, I would like to offer some suggestions on how to prepare for a visit, as well as ideas to guide you during that time.
First, remember—intention is everything. If your intention is to rush in, make small talk and get out fast, it will show. If, however, your intention is to make the person feel encouraged, cared about, or put a smile on his or her face, the person will sense that too.
It is so important to make sure you are in a place of peace before the visit. If you don't feel calm, peaceful and centered, take fifteen minutes to quiet yourself before entering the person's home or room.
Once prepared, here are practical suggestions for a successful visit:
• Always approach the person slowly and quietly so as not to startle them.
• Introduce yourself with a quiet voice. "Hi, it's your niece, Jane. I would like to sit with you for a while."
• If you want, hold the person's hand. Start by telling the person what you are doing. "Mary, I am going to hold your hand now." Another option is to put the person's hand on top of yours. That way if the person does not like touch, they can pull away.
• If the person has a book or newspaper by their bed, read it softly.
• If the person appears to be in and out of sleep, that is okay. They will know they are not alone.
Although it's natural to be concerned about what you're going to say, don't worry so much about the words. The main thing is that your message comes from the heart. It's also important to remember to stop talking at times and simply listen to the person. Here are a couple of tips to help you keep it real:
Do say – "It's good to see you." Let them know you have been thinking of them.
At a loss for words – It's okay to say, "Mary, I don't know what to say or do, but I am here and I care about you."
Listen – If the person talks about being anxious, listen quietly. Don't try to change the subject or silence the person. When he or she is finished sharing concerns, encourage him or her by asking, "What do you want to achieve now?" Then you can gently shift the focus of the discussion to that goal rather than the prognosis or condition. For instance, if a person says she wants to live to see her grandbaby born, ask her how they will celebrate when the baby arrives. Try to keep the conversation positive.
Chatter is overrated – Be present without saying a word. You do not have to fill every moment of your visit with conversation. Just make sure you are focused on the person and not thinking about your next appointment or task on the "to-do" list.
Being there, really being there, for someone yields life lessons you can't get any other way.

By NYT Editorial Board
May 8, 2016
Since 2013, more than 20 people in Bangladesh have been murdered by Islamist extremists, many hacked to death. Among the first victims were bloggers who had criticized Islamic fundamentalism. Then, two foreigners, an Italian aid worker and a Japanese farmer, were struck down last year. In just nine days last month, five people were hacked to death.
The government of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's ruling Awami League Party and its bitter rivalry with the opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party and Jamaat-e-Islami party are partly to blame. In 2014, Ms. Hasina and her party won elections marred by violence and a boycott by the opposition. Bangladesh's International Crimes Tribunal, established in 2010 to prosecute those responsible for atrocities during the 1971 war of independence, and has become a political tool of the government, targeting leaders of Jamaat-e-Islami. This, along with extra-judicial killings, torture and disappearances, has eroded faith in the rule of law.
Meanwhile, Ms. Hasina's government has cracked down on freedom of expression and the press. Last month, Ms. Hasina condemned atheist bloggers, saying: "It's not at all acceptable if anyone writes against our prophet or other religions."
All of this is fuelling extremism. The International Crisis Group, an independent organization working to prevent conflict, warns that "heavy-handed measures are denting the government's legitimacy and, by provoking violent counter responses, benefiting violent party wings and extremist groups alike." These groups include Ansar al-Islam Bangladesh, an affiliate of Al Qaeda that claimed responsibility for the April 6 murder of a law student, Nazimuddin Samad. The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the April 30 murder of Nikhil Chandra Joarder, a Hindu tailor. Yet Ms. Hasina's government denies that the Islamic State is in Bangladesh.
Secretary of State John Kerry said Xulhaz Mannan, an L.G.B.T. activist who worked at the American Embassy and was killed on April 25 along with a friend, "embodied the spirit of the people of Bangladesh and the pride with which they guard their traditions of tolerance, peace, and diversity." He offered the "full support" of the United States in investigating the murders.
Ms. Hasina's government should welcome this support. Few of the attackers have been brought to justice, creating a climate of impunity. The government must protect those who could be targets and restore democratic freedoms and faith in the rule of law. Failing to do so will accelerate the slide into lawlessness.

Lester Cavanagh is another new name on the racing systems front.
He's releasing a new system called "Wineachway" and I agreed to take a look at it.
The headline product isn' t yet released as I write, however he is offering a free system called " The Lower Class Masters System" which I've looked at.
So here's my take on that. I think it'll give you a good idea as to what you can expect from the main system and help decide if you want to trade your email address for it.
Firstly, this is a regular pdf document of which the system part takes up only 10 pages of the 38, with the remainder being printed results. Padding out with results is a pet hate of mine, why not simply provide a download link?
Anyway that minor gripe aside, on to the guts of the system.
Its based around jockeys and race types and prices, nothing difficult and kinda makes sense. It does have what I'd call "a whiff of backfitting about it" but thats not to say it'll fall flat on its face, but its a fine line between picking rules based on historical performance and logic. I can say that the claimed results for the last two years look correct having run the system through Horseracebase, however the profits do not continue back before 2011 where the system had mixed years. That said it could be that we're looking at something thats "hot right now" but certainly I'd want to be looking at the stats again in a year. My verdict on the free system is that you'll find more robust systems, but operating at the front of the market it should be relatively low risk.
The good news is this is free, so you can take a look and make your own mind up. I'll probably save it and monitor its progress over the coming months.
You can get it here now.
(Bear in mind the free system will shortly be replaced by a new page – sorry)
The Wineachway System, (which I have already seen), is as expected more robust that the free system above and is more up my street. That will be released at the end of next week – check back here for my full review then.

My routine checkup had me leaving the clinic filled with hopes and fears, especially after the late miscarriage with my triplets. Both pertained to future pregnancies that I may have.
Routine Screenings
Dr. Thia recommended a Pap since I had CIN 1 a couple years ago. He wanted to make sure that it's still being kept at bay. They're also going to check for HPV. Keeping my fingers and toes crossed that everything will be clear.
My bile acid levels are back to normal although my liver enzyme levels are very slightly elevated. I'll have to get another test done when I go back to see Dr. V next month. My pap results will also be ready by then and she'll be able to determine when we'll be ready to try again.
I'll be going back on HRT to regulate my menstrual cycle. We were going that my period would return naturally but it didn't.
What The Odds Are
I asked Dr. Thia what the chances of what happened reoccurring is, should we conceive again. He said that with a single pregnancy, the risk will be much lower although there is no guarantee. I totally understand that. With a multiple pregnancy, they will not say much if we have twins, but with triplets, they will probably counsel us to have selective reduction done. I said that we'll cross that bridge if it comes to that again.
After everything that has happened, I honestly still feel that same as I did before – I don't believe in selective reduction. Which is tough, because I know that I do not want to risk losing any more babies either. But yeah, when and if we reach that bridge…
Future Pregnancies
Now, in my next pregnancy, there are two ways to go about it from second trimester onwards:
First trimester –
I'll go for more swabs for infection, as well as regular urine tests to also check for infection that may be asymptomatic.
Second trimester –
1: Vaginal progesterone to help support and relax the cervix so that it doesn't contract. Also, it will help to change the environment of the womb to ensure that it does not become hostile. Vaginal progesterone is supposed to be the most effective because it goes directly to the source, although some women may get shots because they work faster.
2: Cerclage to seal the womb. While it can help lengthen the cervix, if baby wants to come out, it will come out regardless of the stitches.
Again, Dr. Thia stressed that I had three babies and being very petite, it would have been a very difficult pregnancy. The weight of the babies probably weakened my cervix. This scares me because I don't know how my cervix will cope with future ones.
Further Complications
Also, I had intrahepatic cholestasis at a rather early stage – middle of second trimester. Usually, it occurs in the third trimester. As such, Dr said that there's a high chance for it to occur again even in a single pregnancy. So there will need to be close monitoring.
If my bile acids are above 100μmol/L (as it was in my triplets pregnancy), baby will need to be out at 35, 36 weeks. If it is less, then they will push it to 37 weeks. I can insist on having baby out at 36 weeks even if my bile acid levels are less than 100μmol/L, as long as I bear in mind that it will be premature. Usually it's a delicate balance of keeping baby in as long as possible, and ensuring that it doesn't absorb the bile and become still born.
Dr. Thia also said that the cause of cholestasis is unclear for me because it may have been due to the triplets creating a large amount of hormones, or it could be my body. It can be controlled during pregnancy with ursodeoxycholic acid, which is what I took after being diagnosed, and it goes off a few days after delivering. However, it cannot remove the bile acids altogether or prevent baby from absorbing it nearer full term.
Digesting It All
After leaving Dr. Thia's clinic and digesting all the information I had gathered about my multiple pregnancy, and what lies ahead for our future one(s), I started to feel really down. It dawned on me that I may never have a normal pregnancy without fear of something happening.
I don't know whether my cervix is weak or whether my womb needs more progesterone support while pregnant, or whether it was just because I had three lives growing within me.
Hopes and Fears after Late Miscarriage
While I was with my thoughts, I actually toyed with the idea of never conceiving again. First, the fear that I may lose the baby again in second trimester due to an incompetent cervix or infection, and then knowing that any baby I have may next reach full term because of cholestasis. AND if pregnancy does go smoothly, and I do wind up with cholestasis again, and it is managed well, I will still fear losing baby at birth because of the risk cholestasis puts it in.
I don't know if my heart can take anymore losses. And yet, I cannot deny the great desire I have to fill our home with children; for Florian to be a (damn good) father, and I, a mother. I can only trust that the medical professionals we seek will know best, and allow God to do the rest. As Florian reminded me, we are much better equipped for future pregnancies with the knowledge we know now. We have to try again or else we will never know.
One step at a time I suppose. First, let's pray for good pap/HPV results. And we'll go from there.

Lavender ProductsWritten by Amy Hall
Lavender products, which contain the essential oils from the lavender plant, are probably most well known for their soothing properties. If you have ever visited a spa for a massage, facial, or body treatment, you probably encountered skin care products containing lavender essential oil. This oil is commonly used in spa body products because the aroma puts the mind at ease and allows clients to completely relax.
People who suffer from insomnia are also encouraged to try out lavender products to help with this frustrating problem. Lavender can be combined with vanilla to really relax the mind and induce the insomniac into a deep slumber. There are linen sprays, candles, body lotions, potpourri, and healing oils that come with the calming scent of lavender.
Another great option if you suffer from insomnia is to partake in a warm bath each night before bed, and lightly scent the bath water with lavender oil drops. You could also light some vanilla/lavender candles around the tub, and let your mind escape to a tranquil place. When you step out of the tub, you might want to rub some lavender body lotion all over your body, and then wrap up in some warm pajamas. Once your head hits the pillow, you are likely going to drift off into dreamland with no problem.
Lovely Lavender Products
If you just want to add some relaxation to your day, you cannot go wrong with lavender products. Whether you light a lavender candle, spray your linens and furniture with lavender water, or soak in a lavender bath, you will reap the rewards that this essential oil provides. Look for lavender bath products online and through traditional retailers of body products.

This likely means that automobile owners in Turkmenistan will continue to be entitled to 120 liters (34 gallons) of free gas a month, rendering the $0.19 price of a liter almost meaningless to some auto owners. The government has promised subsidies on an array of fuels, lasting until at least 2030. Typically, the NFL gives each Super Bowl team 17.5 percent of tickets, the host city team 5 percent and all other clubs 1.2 percent each. The NFL also keeps 25.2 percent for sponsors, media partners, executives and staff. NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy did not respond to a request for comment on the ticket allocation this year, though cheap sports china the tickets given NFL On Location Experiences would typically have ended up with PrimeSport and other brokers via side cheap nfl jerseys deals.. "Dishes, such as curries, stews and soups are great as you can throw in all the vegetables you have left in your fridge at the end of the week. These can all cheap sports china be made on a Sunday when you have a little more time to prepare and will see you through the working week. They seem to taste better as the week goes on and are full of essential vitamins and nutrients.". As the ratio of an energy source nears one to one, the energy becomes inaccessible, in spite of remaining reserves (Hall, Powers Schoenberg, 2008). Moreover, even renewable energies such as solar and wind are dependent on fossil fuels in the manufacturing and transporting of related equipment (Schneider, 2008). As with transportation, agriculture, and virtually every aspect of modern life, the production of energy itself is highly dependent on fossil fuels.. Were your Sunday plans ruined by the rain? You weren the only one! Even the ALDS Game 3 at Fenway was postponed until tomorrow night. Probably a good choice there. While my forecast last night was SPOT ON for a soaker in SE Mass, Cape Cod and the islands I really didn think that the soaking rain would make it much more NW of Boston.

Please bear with all staff – from our practice and from the other practices – as this new way of working settles in.
We are grateful for your patience and please remember to follow the Government's advice with regard to social distancing and self-isolation.
With all good wishes: Dr Andrew Fellows, Dr Alison Rickard, Dr Sally Louden, Dr Oliver Kemp and Dr Sarah Wagstaffe, the partners at The Wilson Practice
Prescriptions for rescue packs (steroid and antibiotics) to have at home in case you experience worsening respiratory symptoms are available for COPD patients - but they are inappropriate for asthma patients, because if asthma symptoms become bad enough to require steroids it is ESSENTIAL you are assessed by a clinician.
If you are an asthma patient with worsening symptoms, contact the surgery via E-consult or by phone; or contact 111 out of hours.
More information from Asthma UK at: www.asthma.org.uk/advice/triggers/coronavirus-covid-19
If you are a COPD patient who has had rescue medications before, you can order via repeat prescription. If you have not had a rescue pack before, contact the surgery (as above) and you will be given advice as well as a prescription.
Many practices are receiving requests from insurers and travel companies for GP letters in order for people to cancel holidays due to Covid-19. Information from the Royal College of GPs, states:"Insurers and travel companies should be basing their decisions to offer refunds on advice from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and Public Health England, not letters from GPs. It is not a good use of GPs' time to be writing letters for patients who are not ill but have plans to travel - and GPs will always base their decisions on official advice."The Government has recently also made statements regarding self-isolation and this too is a matter between insurance and travel companies and the individuals concerned.
NHS guidance and advice: www.111.nhs.uk/covid-19
With the increasing spread of coronavirus, we need to reduce unnecessary visits to the surgery. Please consider carefully if your problem is urgent or if it can wait and if you have respiratory symptoms, please do not come to the surgery: you may be putting other patients and the staff here at risk. Check your symptoms via the website above
1. We are are cancelling routine appointments and clinics and consulting, where possible, by telephone. If you require GP advice, please use e-Consult (above) in the first instance. If as a result of a phone consultation or an e-Consult a clinician advises that you need to be seen, they - or reception - will liaise with you directly to organise this.
Our Duty Doctor and Nurse team is still working but please be reminded of the most up-to-date guidance around coronavirus and self-isolation.
2. For patients who generally collect their repeat prescription from the practice, this will no longer be possible. We will instead send those prescriptions direct to a pharmacy. This includes controlled drugs. Please indicate your chosen pharmacy on your prescription request.
These new arrangements are in response to the evolving situation and based on guidance from Public Health England and with the support of our local commissioners.
With our patients' support we hope to deliver the safest possible service during this turbulent period. We remain committed to the health and well-being of our population and thank everyone for their support.
We are asking patients who are on repeat medication not to request additional quantities because they are concerned about Coronavirus limiting their ability to get future supplies. The government is doing all it can to protect supply chains and advises that stockpiling may lead to artificial shortages. Thank you for your consideration.
The NHS is a marvellous resource, but as we all know it is stretched. The NHS has backed a practical Self care initiative to help give us all confidence to take control of those minor health issues that crop up from time to time. There are some really useful fact sheets - on everything from heartburn and low back pain, through acne and constipation to eczema and sprains and strains. See for yourself at www.selfcareforum.org/fact-sheets/
Connect to Support Hampshire is a source of information and advice, as well as a directory of services available for adults in Hampshire. This website can be used to assist in sign-posting patients to services, key resources and websites that can help with many areas of life including:
If you are 24 you will be receiving your first-ever invitation for a smear test in the next few months. It's a late-ish 'coming of age' event – and one you should not ignore.
You'll be invited for a smear every five years – but as the poster says – it's five minutes from your life – and it could save your life – so don't miss your first one.
For more information – including a really helpful and reassuring video about what to expect at a smear test – check out www.jostrust.org.uk
The Wilson Practice is celebrating success in its first-ever entry in a public team challenge, having joined the 'Run Things: Run Up to Christmas' which raises money for the mental health and well-being charity, Mind. 'TeamTWP' (eight people, including nursing staff, management and GPs), committed to Run Thing's top milestone of collectively running 250 kilometres (155 miles) between 1 December and Christmas Day. And they did it! With days to spare, despite some illness, sprains and a fractured metatarsal reducing the mileage capacity of some of the team.
Dr Louden clocked up the most miles, whilst senior nurse and nurse manager Sister Claire Muir got the prize for dedication to the cause by running the 5k Christmas Day parkrun at Hogmoor Inclosure, Bordon. Overall, the team ran more than 300km (190 miles) which is great achievement – especially when the evenings were dark and often very wet.
"Being part of a team with a goal was a great motivator, especially when it was raining!" said practice business director Rosie Lewis. "The partners were very supportive and kindly sponsored our entry fees," she continued. "We are lucky to have Amy Holder, a Mind mental health well-being worker, working from Alton Health Centre on a Thursday supporting patients from across the A31 Group of Practices, so it felt like a very direct way of giving something back."
Run Things was set up by two friends on the south coast who wanted to encourage people to get out and run and to raise awareness and funds for Mind, a charity close to both their hearts. It runs a number of challenges throughout the year and a virtual run club. This year over 4,000 people around the world took part in Run Up To Christmas.
You can support Mind and recognise The Wilson Practice team's achievement through the Run Things justgiving page: https://www.justgiving.com/team/RU2C2019. Please mention TeamTWP in your comment
Great news for Winchester Hospice - Dr Louden made it to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro - with generous sponsorship (£3,500 at the last count from so many kind people!) and the good wishes of the practice and patients spurring her on. In an amazing adventure that saw one team member helicoptered off the dormant volcano and another fall victim to altitude sickness, Sally was one of 15 intrepid women who made the summit - despite fresh snow on the final part of the ascent making conditions treacherous. "It is the hardest thing I have ever done!", she proclaimed of the five-and-a-half days up, day-and-a half down route that was part trek, part scramble and part climb. Back to work in the practice just three days later, Dr Louden is beaming, but understandably a little weary, complimenting the team work amongst the group and the help of their guides for making it possible.
You can support the development of the Winchester Hospice through Dr Louden's donation page: www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Sally-Louden2
Following the recent media coverage highlighting concerns over this issue, Dr Sally Louden has written a helpful fact sheet. Download it here or pick up a copy in Reception.
DRW is a national charity aiming ti help people 'grow through', rather then 'go through' this traumatic life event. New workshops starting in Basingstoke in October - see their poster here
If you, or someone you know or love, needs help to break free from an addiction such as smoking, gambling, drinking or the internet/screen use, this new initiative from Christians Against Poverty, could help.
Led by a trained Fresh Start Coach and working in confidence with other people facing similar challenges, the course is tailored to help people discover freedom once more.
The group starts on Monday 30 September. It runs from 7:30 - 9pm.(or 7pm for a free meal first) at Alton Maltings Centre.For more information contact Mark Rumsby on 07769 030913 or check out capfreshstart.org
HRT and breast cancer Fact Sheet Aug19
Sounds simple – and in essence it is – but there is more to it than that…
Former senior partner and founder of Cardiac Rehab (and Alton Runners!) Dr Hugh Bethell has spent a lifetime exploring and promoting this basic concept.
And he is still learning.
He has created a blog to share ideas and evidence – to encourage us all to help ourselves to better health – and, if you wish, to enter into debate on the issues.
With sections on exercise and diabetes, dementia and hypertension already – the blog is in easy to understand, bite-sized chunks – and has amusing illustrations to help make the point. Click here to go straight to Hugh's blog: https://exercisefitnessandhealth.info/blog
For useful drop-in sessions coming up locally check out the Older Drivers Forum website www.olderdriversforum.com
Patients across 'the A31 Group' all have access to appointments with nurse/healthcare assistants (HCAs) and GPs at one of the local surgeries until 8pm every weekday, between 8am and 10am on Saturdays, and (new from 1 July) on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday mornings between 7am and 8am. There is also the opportunity to arrange a telephone consultation in some of those morning, evening and weekend slots and the option of seeing a GP at Basingstoke Hospital (RG24 9NA) on a Sunday morning). These sessions (apart from the Sunday ones) are staffed by doctors, nurses, healthcare assistants and receptionists from the A31 Group of Practices.
PLEASE NOTE 1: regardless of venue these appointments are booked via a patient's own surgery and are for PRE-BOOKED APPOINTMENTS only. The telephones at all practices are are handled by NHS 111 outside of core hours

Latest NHS statistics show that our patients are way out in front when it comes to using IT to get the best from the practice. Around half our patients can book appointments and order repeat medication using Patient Access, and almost one patient in six has registered to access their clinical record safely and securely on-line.
Managing partner Dr Andrew Fellows says: "We're delighted that our patients are using technology to help them access our services, and that our staff have been able to help so many people do this. Patients can log on whenever it suits them and with access to records, you can check test results and remind yourself of what was agreed in a consultation. It frees up our reception and admin colleagues to help people with more complex queries, and those who do not have internet access."
To register for this service, simply go to The Wilson Practice website and click Online Services from the menu on the right to download a form. You will need to attend the practice with photo ID and proof of address to complete the process.
We are grateful to all patients who responded to our recent survey on access and services to help us with planning these developments. In addition to the changes above, we are looking at how we can broaden the range of services on offer from our surgeries and we are developing a fact sheet to address the most common questions and observations raised through the survey.

You can complete a very simple paper survey in the surgery, or you can do it on-line by clicking 'Would you recommend?' (below) or at www.leavemyfeedback.com/4674. You can also leave feedback on the NHS Choices website (www.nhs.uk). Your views are important to us. Thank you for taking the time to respond.

Project info
All religions promote some kind of promised land of eternal happiness after death. The idea must have been to be encourage compassion and respect for everything around so as to be deserving of this great reward. But somewhere along the line, we seemed to have lost the plot and started engaging in violent forceful behaviour to gain entry into that Elysium. What made us believe in a myth so staunchly that we ignore the paradise we already are on and resort to destroying everything around us. The elysian fields do exist and we are already there.

Midland Young Life to host spring fundraising event
Midland Young Life's annual fundraising event is set for March 18 at the Midland Country Club.
This year's event will celebrate the organization's more than 50 years of building meaningful relationships with local youths with a fun program aimed at sharing with attendees some of what participants experience in Midland Young Life programs.
The event will take place from 10-11:30 a.m. and honorary chairs are Steve and Jill Sklenar.
"We were introduced to Young Life 30 years ago when we became volunteer leaders in Grand Rapids as newlyweds," said Jill Sklenar. "We saw then firsthand how this relationship-based ministry changes lives, and that during the most influential years of a teen's life Young Life leaders earn the right to be heard with each youth, coming to them on their terms."
Guests will also hear about the progress of the organization's ministries including WyldLife for middle school students, Young Life for high school students and YoungLives for teen moms.
Tickets for the event cost $20 per person and are available for purchase until March 13 online at MidlandYL.younglife.org or at the Midland Young Life office.
For more information, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com or contact the office by phone at (989) 631-8585.

With a dramatic sense of occasion, the Art Deco charms of this designer's own, triple brick, 1930s apartment with a Louise Street entry has been stylishly updated to present a unique residence, in an unbeatable city-fringe location. (Infused also with a hint of Tudor character) The home has been meticulously crafted by the renowned Cameron Comer of Comer and King design agency, in the iconic 'Stanhill' building, to exude a gallery-like experience that has been variously featured in a selection of publications including Real Living and Sunday Life.
Brilliantly conceived and perfectly executed, the home's lounge / dining room is an impressive and unforgettable room, rendered in black and highlighting original north-facing windows that frame leafy first floor outlooks, whilst the master bedroom is a huge space - large enough for a desk and filled with more northerly light. Accessed securely via intercom entry, the home also offers the rare treat of two secure undercover parking spaces, as well as a broad kitchen and a central bathroom with laundry facilities.
Nestled between the waters of Albert Park and the verdant expanses of Fawkner Park, this diverse location is just metres from Melbourne's premier tree-lined boulevards, where cafes, bars eateries and city-bound trams are in abundance. Whether your tastes run to the vibrancy of Prahran and Chapel St, to the village-like charms of Albert Park, to Prahran Market or to South Melbourne Market, it is all within easy reach.

My blog: Opinions are my own
What #cdnpoli activity tells us as we head in to the election
In anticipation of #elxn42 getting its official start tomorrow, here's some analysis of #cdnpoli trends and issues that played out in July.
#elxn42 and #fe42: Can you see the difference?
It's clear #elxn42 is the election hashtag of choice. So, is #fe42 a niche conversation, or a failed attempt at trailblazing by a government department?
Two pieces of media about online shaming
My chat with John Meadows about online shaming, and the more powerful TED Talk about online shaming by journalist and author Jon Ronson.
Five branding lessons for digital public affairs teams
These are the lessons, among others, the Government of Canada digital public affairs folks should have known before their rebranding project.
Confusing the public is not a brand strategy
The Government of Canada's new theme-based brand strategy is going to confuse government communicators and the public.
#cdnpoli on pace to reach (even exceed) 6M tweets in 2015
Use of Twitter by Canadians to express and engage in political discourse (identified wth #cdnpoli) has grown significantly over the last few years.
