Okay, so 'Booker-a-thon' sounds better, but I am more interested in the Giller list than I was in the Bookers. I still plan to read the Booker short-list, though, I notice that the two books I could not find before are now available on Amazon.ca.
Anyways, I always like the Giller Winners, so this year I thought I would try and read as much of the long-list as possible. I have already read Helpless by Barbara Gowdy. That was a must-read because I love The Romantic, one of her earlier books. It was a good book, but I think I would be very surprised if it won. The second book I am reading off the Giller list is Michael Ondaatje's book, Divisadero. I have read one Ondaatje before, In the Skin of the Lion, but I own his other books. Reading so far, though, I am not enraptured, so I don't know if it is good enough to win. I am still newly into it, though, so my thoughts can change.
After finishing Ondaatje I am going to move on to October by Richard Wright. I am worried. I really really liked Clara Callan by him, but then anything I have read since I have not really liked at all. I have been humming and hawing over whether I want to try again, but I have heard good things about October, so I am going to give it a try. Plus, October is one of my favourite months of the year, so why not read a book with it as the title. (October is my birthday month, the time of the leaves changing that we are sort of famous for, and Halloween.)
After that, we will have to see. I really want to read Lawrence Hill's The Book of Negroes. Then, some of the others I have either heard good things about or never even heard of before. Some of the authors I have been meaning to try for years, so this gives me an added push. Anyways, back to Ondaatje. Remember, two days until my reading challenge officially kicks off!

Set Of 36 large lead Metal Soldiers from the early 1900's..double sided..enamel painted in excellent antique condition. They were either made in Germany. There are no markings of country of origin. I was informed by an appraiser at the Antique Road Show that was recently taped on August 9th in NYC that they were lead and made in Germany. These were purchased from an elderly man who is a collector. I purchased the metal winter / ice skating set from him also...which is featured in my shop. The soldiers stand from 1.5" to 2" tall. If anyone has more information on this set, please email me. Thank you.

OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada's economy unexpectedly shed 21,900 jobs in January but a drop in the number of people seeking work pushed the unemployment rate down to a four-year low of 7.0 percent, Statistics Canada data indicated on Friday.
Market analysts had forecast a gain of 5,000 positions and predicted the jobless rate would edge up to 7.2 percent from the 7.1 percent in December after strong job gains in three of the previous four months.
The economy lost 20,600 full-time and 1,400 part-time jobs in January, with the hard-hit manufacturing sector shedding 21,600 positions. An increase in the number of self-employed was outweighed by job losses among private and public sector employees.
January's unemployment rate is the lowest since the 6.8 percent recorded in December 2008 but still well above the 6.1 percent seen before the 2008 economic crisis.
The average hourly wage of permanent employees increased by 2.0 percent compared to January 2012, down from the 2.5 percent year-over-growth seen in December.

A majority of the reviews for Morning Star bamboo flooring on LumberLiquidators.com tend to be positive, but there are mixed and negative reviews as well. Many people rate the bamboo flooring as durable and attractive, while others complain of the difficult installation process.
As of October 2015, Morning Star bamboo flooring has received 63 reviews with an overall rating of 4.5 out of five on LumberLiquidators.com. Many reviewers find the finish look of the bamboo flooring attractive and easy to clean. Some reviewers state that the wood quality of the flooring was good. One reviewer notes that he bought 11 boxes of Morning Star bamboo flooring to install at his home and only one piece had a chipped end.
Some reviewers find this bamboo flooring a bit difficult to install as the hard wood kept bending nails. Some people had to hire professional help to install the flooring. Also, several reviewers mention that the bamboo color from different batches of flooring looked different, and they had to exchange for flooring from the same batch at the stores. Additionally, some reviewers also complain of a strong odor when they unpacked the bamboo flooring, but the smell eventually disappeared after a few days.

Sometimes ideas go splat?
Or do they?!
I think I can say this phase (the project I am talking about can be followed in my last 2 posts) is not on track. I had all these ideas and the symbolism was pouring out, but visually, I am not sure it quite works. Now does that mean I am throwing the whole project out? No. I am actually not even sure I am tossing this phase of the project, but I wasn't anticipating how much all this black would jump out. I suppose the two should have opposite color palettes? In my mind, the "Spirituals" were going to be painted in white and the dictators in black, but once the white is laid over the black, the black is still the main subject, not the white… hmm… since this is a project of dichotomies and how we are intertwined within each other: the prevalent darkness in even the most saintly people and the innate humanity in those we vilify, perhaps the confusing colors serve a purpose to stop and think about this great big family. We are probably all quick to see Mother Teresa in our family tree, but who really wants to claim Hitler? Do Mother Teresa and Hitler both live in you?
When I started writing this post, I was thinking this piece would be painted over before sundown, but now I am almost convinced to keep it! Oh- artists!
What do you think?
The space is thinning… triptych part I.
You saw Stalin last week in process. I have now added a few others to phase one of my triptych exploring that thin thread that differentiates each of us. Phases two and three will consist of Thinkers and Spirituals. Mulling over this space between us is encouraging some interesting interpretations of our collective family and how we are all connected. So there will likely be a lot more coming from me on this. For now, here is a view of part one. Since this photo, a thin white thread has been stitched across the canvas in a beating pattern from a heart monitor. It's white on white, so you almost can't see it…
humanity |(h)yoōˈmanitē|
noun ( pl. -ties)
1 the human race; human beings collectively.
• the fact or condition of being human; human nature.
Do you ever wonder how humans can have so many intrinsic similarities, yet manifest ourselves in vastly diverse ways? I am examining this space and the connective threads that deem us 'the human race' through my next works. Here is a quick snap of the preliminary stages of one such work. Be on the look out for more updates and write me your thoughts on this topic if you're inspired!
The Nostalgic West
Sometimes being in DC (or anywhere on the East Coast, really), makes me miss my Western roots. Growing up in the Northwest and then spending many quality years in the beautiful Colorado Rockies makes me want to get in touch with my inner cowboy a little more these days. Forget that I am deathly allergic to horses (at least last time I checked about a decade ago), sometimes it's just about being able to stand some place and see as far as your imagination allows you before the horizon wanes off the edge. So you might get more of the nostalgic West out of me in the near future!

The fallout from sinking interest rates has spilled over into international markets. We're seeing frontier and emerging markets outperform on the back of lower borrowing costs.
While everyone has a theory behind the global decline in interest rates, I noted last week that falling yields were one of the main reasons emerging markets—but particularly frontier markets—have outperformed this year.
Smaller, frontier market Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are outperforming by a wide margin: Egypt is up 23.0 percent while Turkey has gained 20.2 percent, The Philippines is up 14 percent, Vietnam is up 7.9 percent. There are currency effects with these ETFs, but you get the point.
Yet even those markets that are arguably "emerging" are doing better. India has risen 15.0 percent, Indonesia up 18.8 percent. and Thailand is up 7.0 percent.

I know it's kind of weird for me to say that. How often do I mention plums on this blog? I'm not sure I ever have. I don't make posts that wax poetic on the tastiness of plums. Until today I never posted a plum recipe.
For me plums have always sat quietly in the background. While I have sat at my keyboard banging out recipes for sauces with peaches and brandy and ginger or baked numerous cherry pies and doused chicken cutlets and pork chops with cherry sauces, I was probably snacking on a plum.
Plums are very reliable and easy to eat. The problem with peaches is that I can go to the farm market in the summer, purchase some beautiful ripe peaches, and bite into one expecting it to be divine - then be brutally disappointed to find out it's mealy or flavorless. There is a little potential heartache in every peach. Cherries, while delicious, are a little tough to eat. In order to get your fill of cherries, you must each many of them. That leaves you with the tedious process of the eat-spit-eat-spit-eat-spit routine that requires you to be vigilant about where those pits go. As for apricots, I never liked their texture. In a strange reversal of preferences, I only eat them dried.
While many plums are better than others, plums generally disappoint me far less than peaches. As long as a plum decently ripe, I know I can expect a sweet bite into soft flesh against the contrast of the taught and tangy skin. It's easy to eat around the pit in a larger plum and in the smaller ones, where you can devour them in a bite or two, you don't need to eat 20 (well, maybe I could) so it lacks the needs to constantly spit out pits that you have with cherries.
Childhood memory: There was once a box of tiny plums in the house that I addicitvely attacked one night as a child. I can still remember as I ate plum after plum my mother warning me, "You're going to get the runs." Her warning was a mixture of amusement and fear. They were plums, not prunes (remember I only do apricots dried). While her prediction didn't come completely true, I'm not sure my stomach was all too happy with the plum onslaught. Lesson learned.
It seems strange that I would never think to cook with plums. I don't make plum cakes or plum jam or plum sauces. This week I decided to remedy that.
I took my plums to the savory side and made a plum sauce for duck by roasting my plums with balsamic vinegar and rosemary with just a touch of honey. It could have been sweeter. Maybe more honey the next time.
Maybe next I should go to the sweet side and try a plum cake. I know Sir Pickypants, hater of stone fruits except cherry pie, won't like it, but that means more for me. I did make him at least taste the plums. He ate everything I gave him (just a spoonful) but he didn't ask for more.
I served it over roast duck breast. I was thinking of making this a duck recipe, but it's not much of a duck recipe. Get a whole duck breast. Rub it with salt, pepper, and dried sage. Cut slits in the skin. Cook over low heat in a pan slowly, about 20 minutes occasionally removing some of the fat from the pan. (You will save that fat if you know what's good for you.) When skin is crispy, flip over and brown the other side for about 5 minutes. Place in a 400 degree oven and roast an additional 15 minutes. Let it rest a few minutes. Slice and serve.
I had extra sauce and I intend to try it on pork chops next.
Roasted Balsamic Plum Sauce
- 6-8 large black plums, pitted and cut into quarters
- 2 Tbl balsamic vinegar
- 1 Tbl olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 2 tsp honey
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Combine all ingredients except plums in a bowl, whisking until well combined. Toss plum quarters in the mixture. Place on cookie sheet and roast 10 minutes or until plums are soft.
Remove from oven. Chop into smaller pieces and toss with pan juices. Serve with duck, pork, chicken, or whatever other protein think would taste good with it.

Dear Environmentality listeners,
On the 21st of December we had not only the summer solstice to celebrate but also our last show for the year, and Alicia had lined up an excellent guest to mark this momentous occasion.
Daniel A'Vard combines his job as a Sustainability Consultant with a volunteer position as the Victorian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Engagement Champion at Engineers Without Borders Australia. By the way, check out their website, it is one of the best looking ones I have seen in a long time!
To be completely honest with you all, I must confess that I was a little bit off my game and I felt that not enough justice had been done to Daniel, who despite all this was able to convey his passion for community development and social and environmental justice, and to talk about the great work that Engineers Without Borders Australia does. Hopefully we can have him in the studio sometime in 2012.
As you may have noticed, we have taken a holiday break for the last two weeks but we will be back on the 11th of January...
Listen to the show!

Trump criticizes London's mayor, again
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump for a second day lashed out at London's mayor on Twitter in the wake of a deadly terror attack in the city.
Trump stated on Twitter Monday morning that London Mayor Sadiq Khan had offered a "pathetic excuse" and "had to think fast on his 'no reason to be alarmed' statement."
Trump's tweet renews his mischaracterization of Khan's statement to London residents following a vehicle and knife attack that left seven people dead and dozens injured. The mayor had told London residents not to be concerned by a stepped-up police presence in the city after the incident.
In a Sunday tweet, Trump mischaracterized Khan's remarks by suggesting the mayor had said there was "no reason to be alarmed" about the attack itself. Khan's spokesman said he was too busy to respond to Trump's "ill-informed" tweet.
On Monday, a spokesman for Khan responded to the latest statement from Trump, saying: "Nothing has changed since yesterday."
He said: "The mayor is focused on dealing with Saturday's horrific and cowardly attack and working with the police, the emergency services and the Government to keep London safe."
Asked if Trump was wrong to make the comments, British Prime Minister Theresa May said at a news conference Monday that "Sadiq Khan is doing a good job and it's wrong to say anything else - he's doing a good job."
White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said Monday that Trump was not "picking a fight with the mayor of London at all." She also pushed back against criticism that the president had mischaracterized Khan's remarks, saying that "the media wants to spin it that way."
Asked if Trump was criticizing the mayor of London because he is Muslim, Sanders said that was "utterly ridiculous."
Trump's latest missive at Khan was part of several Monday morning tweeted statements from the president. Trump also lashed out at his own Justice Department for seeking a "watered down" version of the travel ban he signed in March instead of a broader directive that was also blocked by the courts.
The war of words was the latest episode in a long simmering feud between Trump and Khan, a Muslim who was elected as London's mayor in May 2016. After his election last year, Khan tweeted criticism of then-candidate Trump's rhetoric, saying that his "ignorant view of Islam could make both our countries less safe. It risks alienating mainstream Muslims." Trump later challenged Khan to an IQ test during an interview on ITV.
Senior White House adviser Kellyanne Conway on Monday condemned what she called the media's "obsession with covering everything he says on Twitter and very little of what he does as president."
In an appearance on NBC's "Today Show," Conway said people should pay attention to what the president is doing, saying people in England had tried to inform authorities about the terrorists before the attacks happened.
"If you're going to see something and say something, it has to be followed by, do something," she said. "And this president is trying to do something to protect the people of this country."
Trump said he had spoken with May to express America's "unwavering support" and offer U.S. assistance as the British government works to protect its citizens and bring the guilty to justice.
British authorities say that have identified the three attackers but have not revealed that information publicly.

Woman w/stroller Cries Because She Was Forced Out of Wheelchair Space
I have no problem with her being told to get off if she's taking up the space designated for wheelchairs. It sounds like the driver wasn't being a jerk, because he allowed the stroller-users to take up the space for as long as it wasn't needed for someone who is supposed to have it available to them. When that space became needed, it was only appropriate for it to be emptied in favor of the person who it was designed for. Even then, it doesn't seem like he just had a thing against women with kids in strollers, because his decision allowed the woman with two kids to stay on.
If the bus driver had been a jerk, he could have kept her off the bus in the first place, because there wasn't enough room for her to get on without taking up the wheelchair-designated spot. She'd have had to take the next bus anyway. His decision to let her ride as long as the space wasn't needed seems fair to me, because if her trip had been shorter, then she might have been able to get off and on without anyone else ever needing that spot.
In New Orleans, a large portion of the population used public transportation. I've ridden as a person with disabilities and I've ridden as a mother with a child in a stroller. In fact, I did it for a couple of years, five days a week, twice a day. Down here, it was illegal to leave your stroller in the aisle, so you had to be able to put it between your seat and the seat in front of you or in the area reserved for wheelchairs. If someone with a wheelchair came along, you had to move. It was as simple as that. They issued you a transfer ticket so that you could get on the next bus, and at least you were closer to your destination than you would have been if you hadn't been allowed to get on in the first place.
I hate how so many people have switched from the smaller (less expensive) strollers to using these SUV style models and just expect for everyone else to work around them. Those umbrella strollers are still on the market. Heck, there are even lots of deluxe strollers that fold flat. The only models that don't fold flat are the ones that cost a lot of money. It makes sense, though. If you're spending big money on a top of the line stroller, the manufacturers seem to figure that you must be planning to put it in a spacious, top of the line automobile.
If someone knows that they may have to use public transportation, it just doesn't make sense to get a stroller that is too big for those spaces. If you have one non-disabled kid, why should you be allowed to use the space that was designed for folks in wheelchairs? You're certainly not entitled to that space.
People with disabilities have had to fight to get these designated spaces on public transportation. If the folks who use those SUV style strollers really think they should have their own designated spot, then let them go and make their case with the public transit authorities in their region. Complaining because you weren't allowed to use the space that was meant for a person with disabilities is nothing more than ablism. As much as I love babies, I don't think that parents should be given a free pass on this.

SUV style is so correct!
I am really frustrated by this scarcity economy which we didn't create but we are supposed to navigate. In my experience, bus drivers are great at driving buses, but not so shiny at customer service and negotiating highly personal boundary issues.
Everytime it happens to me (around once a month) I imagine a script I could provide to the drivers and also narrative over the PA. This script would reference stated (and posted) policy, that the players would now readjust themselves, that if someone doesn't want to play they're free to walk and contact the bus co directly. What do you think?
(Here from a slow RSS feed, BTW.)
I agree with you! Many years ago, my Mother and I took my 3 small toddlers to Disneyland in California in 1986. My Mom didn't want to go to the expense of renting a car (the last day, she "caved", then said she wished we had gotten one at the air port!
The SUV-style strollers weren't on the market then. I did have an _old_ (even then) style double stroller. It folded down flat. We did not take up any handicapped positions on the bus. My mother's late husband had been blind. He would have been eligible for the handicapped seating. I have friends who are blind. They too are eligible for the handicapped seating.
I am now permanently handicapped, and have to use a wheelchair. Many people may not realize that the handicapped designated seating areas on the buses generally have a wheel locking system which keeps the wheelchairs from tipping over and/or rolling around inside the bus. Some wheelchairs braking systems are "less than ideal" to say the least.
As a Mom to 15 children, the woman who had the stroller should have taken the opportunity to be gracious, and voluntarily and quickly remove/collapse/stow her stroller and move. She would have set a good example to her children, as well as been acting as a good citizen.
Maybe, instead of taking the bus at all, she should try navigating both a wheelchair _and_ a stroller. Just a thought.
- Anara from able2able said...
There is still so much ignorance about handicapped spaces it's ridiculous. It's not pick up/drop off parking, it's not there for the convenience of construction workers and deliver trucks, and it's not first come, first served unless you are one of the designated users.
If this happened in some cities here in the U.S., they would probably not allow people with strollers to use the space at all to prevent confrontation and lawsuits. Too bad the woman with the stroller could not have been more gracious or appreciate that the driver gave her a break in the first place.
Being both the mother of two children and disabled, I can attest that it is far more difficult to "make do" when your mobility is compromised than when you're out with your children. The gear you bring with you as a parent is a choice. Being disabled isn't a choice.
Somewhere along the way, we started thinking strollers are a necessity to parenting life. And of course, once you establish something as the norm, you get a culture war where bigger and fancier mean better, regardless of the logistics of lugging such a creation around.
When I was able-bodied, I often found it far easier to put one kiddo on my back and one on my front in a weird amalgam of sling and mai tai baby carrier. My kids were safe, my hands were free, I could maneuver easily, and it was easy enough to slip the kiddo on my back off when we wanted to sit down. (Say, on a bus.) Bonus: free workout, no gym fees! As a disabled mother to two small children, using an SUV-type stroller would have made my life difficult beyond belief. Too heavy, too cumbersome, too difficult to maneuver. A lightweight umbrella stroller was so much easier.
Handicap spaces are legally designated aids for people who are medically disabled. Parenting is often hard, tiring, and physically demanding. But when it comes to handicap spaces, simply being a parent doesn't count.
- Elizabeth said...
Small umbrella strollers only have a 30 or 35lb weight limit so if you have a larger child you need a larger stroller. I just bought a lightweight semi small stroller with a 55lb weight capacity for my 2 year old who isn't walking yet. If he was walking I wouldn't have to take the stroller everywhere.
- Laurie said...
You are absolutely correct. I don't think she should have been upset to have to give up a space designated for someone else.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Stella McCartney Dress April 2012
Celeb Style: A Minidress Moment to Steal, Courtesy of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley belted a silky dress for a chic look that we want to steal because it goes so easily from day to night. Stella McCartney's Spring sheath could be worn with strappy flats and a crossbody bag for something casual, but with the right styling it's dead-on for a slightly sexy work look. The key is belting the waist, and we suggest adding a white blazer to dress it up for the office (and maybe that Jason Wu bag for the most luxurious of work totes). To finish, Rosie contrasts the prettier lace detailing on her dress with a sportier pair of Alexander Wang heels, keeping the whole look in balance and not too overdressed. It's perfect for after-work drinks or even a dinner date. Feeling inspired? Shop our editors' picks to channel Rosie's chic play on a versatile dress.

7 Steps to Smarter Integration
Sometimes, change can be worthwhile. The key is knowing what's worth pursuing and what's not.
In-memory computing may not seem directly related to integration, but in some cases, it's actually usurping its role, taking over from ETL batch processes, according to a recent on-demand webinar, "In-Memory Computing: A Discussion on Lifting the Burden of Big Data."
Nathaniel Rowe of Aberdeen's Enterprise Data Management Practice led the event, which also featured Dave Carlisle of HP, Amit Sinha of SAP HANA, and HP's Erik Lillestolen of SAP BI Appliances, Business Critical Systems.
That allows you to take advantage of the high-end technology available on today's high-speed processors and memory-rich core, he explained.
Why would you need to do that? Well, it comes down to Big Data. Organizations simply have too much data, and they're frustrated with their ability to access it and put it to use. Rowe cited an Aberdeen survey conducted last winter, which found 53 percent of organizations say they don't get information fast enough and 47 percent say too much data is inaccessible and underused within the organization.
The survey also looked at how well data was managed by those who used in-memory analytics versus those who did not. Those who did were able to query data 107 times faster than those who did not. At its slowest, in-memory analytics took five minutes, but averaged a 42-second response time. By comparison, those who did not use have in-memory computing solutions took an average of 75 minutes to query their data.
That's a heck of a difference. What's more, those with in-memory computing power were able to analyze more data - 3.5 times more data - than those without, according to Rowe. End users were happier with the results from their self-service queries, business users even trusted the data more and blue birds cheerfully took out the trash at companies using in-memory computing.
OK, you caught me - I'm kidding about the blue birds. But you get the idea: Data was better, faster and data analysts were happier at companies where they used in-memory analytics.
The webinar included a use case from Nongfu Springs, a China-based water and juice company. The panel also answers about how to build a business case for investing in in-memory computing, what types of organizations can benefit and which market segments should stand up and take notice. That's a lot of ground to cover in an hour and 10 minutes, but given the growing chatter about in-memory, it's well worth it.
If you've caught spring fever and wouldn't mind taking a break this week for a webinar or two, here's a list of intriguing upcoming events.

Thanks Loraine, I appreciate it!Reply
Hi Lorraine;
How does upstream data quality fit into this picture? It's great to hype all the power, but if you are pumping dirty water you wouldn't want to make it availiable for public consumption regardless the speed.
Good question. I shall continue research!Reply

The Boy Scouts of America has sent its members a survey as part of its ongoing debate over whether to repeal or continue its ban on gay members. Instead of asking for a simple yes or no, the questionnaire goes into depth on several topics, for example sleeping arrangements and the place of faith in Scout groups' decisions.
It's this question of faith that is provoking the most comments about the survey. Scouts must take an oath "to do my duty to God" and many groups are sponsored by religious organizations. There are concerns that if the survey tends toward lifting the ban on gay members, there will be a split within the Scouts that could lead to an exodus of thousands of those who put their religious beliefs above their membership of the Scouts.
Writing in British newspaper The Guardian, American journalist Katherine Stewart says that the organization's biases lie "as much with its promotion of religious conviction as they do with its anti-gay sentiments," and that some of the questions reveal that "[there are] people who continue to see same-sex attractions as a moral failure and who are evidently entitled to use their religion as a cover for their bigotry."

I am so sorry any of my listeners and sorry to you to my neglected blog.... I am a very boring bad blogger! I got distracted by the bright lights of facebook as I spent my time (doing as all teenage girls do in this time of their lives) trying to build a friendship up with a guy..... Of course, being a (not really, but in my head I have red hair) fiery impatient scottish girl I tried to give him my number....... Embarassment!!! I mean he was English as well... talk about betraying my country..... sorry Scotland but he was fit, and unlike many of my Scottish pals I do not believe in the whole the English are evil crap (My parents are English and I swear their not evil.... though I can be very evil sometimes.... I must have inherited it from somewhere!) Anyway so he rather bluntly said we were unlikely to ever meet again so he didn't want to TEXT me though he was happy to chat on facebook.... now this confuddled me a little because to be honest the only reason I'd tried to give him my number was because it's easier, in my opinion, to talk to someone through texting than on facebook. Excuse me English Totty for wanting to make chatting easier...... Really My Pride was a little injured because a) he'd assumed I was searching for something more..... I'd only known of him for like 3 days... I'm NOT anywhere near that easy or desperate
b) he didn't want anything more..... I mean if I was that easy I would appreciate him trying to take advantage of it! I would totally be worth it....
So my pride was injured in two ways!
Ach well there's plenty more fish in the sea.... and my harpoon is lined up on another one!
Love to you all.
Sorry for neglecting you my bloggy!

belly laugh chortle
Even though this is not how I feel about it at all (well, not all the time, anyway) I thought it was darkly amusing that this - the initials of the medical company which supplies them - translates to a particularly salty bit of internet shorthand.
At the time of writing I've had just over a week of Fampyra and to be honest, it has been a mixed bag. I'm keeping a diary (certainly for the all-important initial fortnight) which I'll likely publish here in some EDITED form or other.

The strength of white nationalists is said to be growing phenomenally, especially on the online platform. The group and their supporters' online presence has grown more than 600 per cent in the last four years using many indicators including number of followers and number of daily tweets and mentions.
The observation is based on a study conducted by researchers at George Washington University's Programme on Extension which analyzed 18 accounts belonging to major white nationalist groups and organizations including the American Nazi Party and the National Socialist Movement. Majority of the said groups are based in the U.S.
There was a noted increase in the number of followers of those accounts from about 3,500 in 2012 to 22,000 in 2016. The study also underscored the popularity of President Donald Trump as a favorite topic and mentions in the posts and hashtags used by supporters and followers of the group. It is not surprising as white nationalists whether individually or as a group have always been supportive of Trump as they approve of his strong stance on major issues like national security and immigration. White nationalists campaigned hard for Trump's victory, and it is no wonder that to this day they feel strongly invested in his presidency especially as he is facing challenges for his immigration policy.
The study reveals, however, that as much as Trump is undeniably popular with the white nationalist, he comes in only as second to top favorite topic of the group-white genocide. White genocide is said to be the belief that the influx of non-white cultures and rising diversity in the U.S. are fueling the extinction of the white race.
The said study, however, has a major problem. It compares the growth of white nationalists with the decline of the online influence of the ISIS. The mere comparison is already replete with injustice. The ISIS is, of course, a terrorist group that advocates violence supposedly in the name of radical Islam. It has caused much condemnable cruelty, violence, abuse and trouble all over the world, killing innocent lives and leaving trauma and fear wherever they wreaked havoc. It has been speculated but never conclusively proven that white nationalists truly advocate violence, nor have they been linked to such violent acts as ISIS to propagate their beliefs. At their core, white nationalists in fact uphold equality among races, and only deplore racism against the white people, or merely advocating protection for the white people that could be target of racism.
Twitter has been cracking down on ISIS and for good reason, as the terror group used the platform to recruit members and propagate hatred and violence. Calls for Twitter to do a similar crackdown on white nationalists is uncalled for as no conclusive link has yet to be fully established between their online activities and violence. Taking away their right to be in the online world through Twitter or any other social media or online platforms will be a violation of their inherent right to free speech, which every American enjoys as protected by the Constitution.

Arts: Shudder, Release: Patti Smith's Photography
By Josh Kurp
Jesus might have died for somebody's sins, but not Patti Smith's. In an exhibit entitled A Phythagorean Traveler, at the Robert Miller Gallery at 524 W 26th St., photographs and drawings of the dark and tortured songstress show that Smith isn't ready to quit anytime soon. The show ends January 13th.
This isn't Smith's first collaboration with the Robert Miller Gallery. Back in 1978, she and Robert Mapplethorpe—the photographer who took the shot that became the album cover for Smith's Horses—had a joint exhibit of her drawings and his pictures.
The work on display at this exhibition consists of mostly small photographs of images ranging from William Butler Yeats' tombstone to a picture of shoes on top of some sort of religious figure. Around the pictures run small, almost undecipherable text, of which you can only pick out every other word. But sentences like, "Rain…horses…fit…into…eggplant…birds" would actually work quite nicely in a Patti Smith song.
When Lou Reed had a photo exhibition at the Steven Kasher Gallery, I found myself wondering whether I enjoyed the pictures because they were superior pieces of art or because they were done by one of my heroes. I wanted to believe that they were stunning glimpses of New York City, but after a lot of time "leaning on the parking meter," to steal a line from Smith, I realized that I had succumbed to Mr. Reed's star power. That's not true with the Patti Smith exhibition. The pieces are quite good and give us a real glimpse into the mind of a person who got Jimi Hendrix, Jesus Christ, Grandma and Jackson Pollock all into the same song.
On its opening night, I got to the exhibition a little late, but Patti Smith was still roaming around. A friend—who happened to have a slight buzz from the free wine that flows like a waterfall at the Robert Miller Gallery—ran up to me exclaiming, "Patti Smith came up to me and said 'Hi!"
Wearing a pair of tight jeans covered partially by stylish boots and a blazer over a white button dress-shirt, Smith evoked an aura of "you'd better not mess with me" while retaining a sense of girlishness that's been prevalent throughout her 30-plus years in the spotlight.
Unfortunately, I never got to meet her, but judging solely by the work on display (and the fact that I've listened to Horses too many times to count), I know that Patti can still provoke that artistic creativity that began in the early '70s. And that she can probably kick my ass.

Dual Chamber
10 and 20 micrograms
Powder and solvent for solution for injection
Read all of this leaflet carefully before you start using this medicine.
• Keep this leaflet. You may need to read it again.
• If you have any further questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
• This medicine has been prescribed for you. Do not pass it on to others. It may
harm them, even if their symptoms are the same as yours.

2. Before you use Caverject Dual Chamber
3. How to use Caverject Dual Chamber
4. Possible side effects
5. How to store Caverject Dual Chamber
6. Further information
1. What Caverject Dual Chamber is and what it is used for
Caverject Dual Chamber contains alprostadil which is similar to the natural substance
in your body called prostaglandin E1. It widens blood vessels, increasing blood flow to
your penis making it easier for you to have an erection. Caverject Dual Chamber is
used for "erectile dysfunction" including weak erections or impotence. Your doctor
may also use it to help find the exact cause of your erectile dysfunction along with
other tests.
2. Before you use Caverject Dual Chamber
Do not use Caverject Dual Chamber if you:
• are allergic (hypersensitive) to Caverject Dual Chamber, any other medicines
containing alprostadil or any of the other ingredients of Caverject Dual Chamber.
• have sickle cell anaemia (an abnormality of red blood cells), leukaemia (cancer of
the blood), multiple myeloma (bone cancer) or any other problem which increases
risk of getting "priapism". This is when your erection lasts for longer than 6 hours.
• have an implant in your penis.
• have a condition (such as severe heart disease) in which sexual activity should be
• have a penis which is scarred, bent or kinked, or Peyronie's disease.
• have a tight foreskin.
Take special care with Caverject Dual Chamber
Process Black
If you experience an erection that lasts for longer than 4 hours seek medical advice
immediately as treatment should be started within 6 hours. If you cannot contact
your doctor go to the hospital emergency department.
Tell your doctor before using Caverject Dual Chamber if you:
• have a lung, chest or heart disorder (in these cases you also should engage in
sexual activity with caution)
• have a history of mental illness or addiction
• have had a mini- stroke (transient ischaemic attack)
Sexually transmitted diseases
Caverject Dual Chamber will not protect you or your partner from sexually
transmitted diseases like AIDS, herpes or gonorrhoea. The injection of Caverject Dual
Chamber can start a small amount of bleeding where the needle enters. This could
increase the risk of transmission of such diseases. Condoms can protect against
sexually transmitted diseases. If you need advice about contraception or "safe sex"
speak to your doctor or contact your local Family Planning Clinic.
Taking other medicines
Tell your doctor if you are taking any of the following medicines before you start
using Caverject Dual Chamber:
• Antihypertensives (used for treating high blood pressure)
• Sympathomimetics (used for respiratory and heart disease)
• Vasodilative agents (drugs that widen blood vessels)
• Anticoagulants (blood-thinning agents)
• Other treatments for erectile dysfunction (e.g. sildenafil or papaverine)
Please tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any
other medicines, including medicines obtained without a prescription.
You and your partner
You may like your partner to be involved in preparing and/or giving the injection. If
so, you should speak to your doctor about training for your partner.
The Caverject Dual Chamber device
Clear plastic tip
(glass cartridge
Dose window
Preparing the injection
Wash your hands. Dry them with a clean towel. If your partner wishes to be involved
in preparing or giving the injection, they should wash their hands too.
1. Remove one of the injection devices and needles from
the box. Peel the foil cover from the needle.
Pregnancy and breast-feeding
Caverject Dual Chamber can be used by couples wishing to conceive and with a
partner who is pregnant or breast-feeding. It will not protect your partner from
pregnancy, so you should use a reliable contraceptive if appropriate.
Driving and using machines
Caverject Dual Chamber should not affect your ability to drive or use machines.
Important information about some of the ingredients of Caverject Dual
Caverject Dual Chamber contains benzyl alcohol which may cause allergic reactions.
This medicine contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per dose and is essentially
3. How to use Caverject Dual Chamber
A doctor or nurse will show you how to do the injection for at least the first time.
Do not try to do it yourself until you have learnt the correct way or if you can't
remember what to do, see your doctor again. These instructions are a reminder only.
How much Caverject Dual Chamber should you inject?
Different people need different amounts of Caverject Dual Chamber to treat erectile
dysfunction. Your doctor will advise on the right dose for you and monitor you
regularly to check how it is working.
The starting dose in the clinic is 1.25-2.5 micrograms, although doses lower than
2.5 micrograms cannot be delivered with Caverject Dual Chamber. In this case,
Caverject Powder for Injection will be used. Most men find that a dose of
5-20 micrograms works for them, however, some men may require a higher dose. To
minimise the risk of prolonged painful erection, your doctor will select the lowest
effective dose. You should never use more than 40 micrograms.
If Caverject Dual Chamber is being used to find the reason for your erectile
dysfunction, the dose will be 5-20 micrograms.
If the dose that has been prescribed for you does not work well enough, tell your
doctor. Do not change your dose unless your doctor tells you to. If you forget how
much to use, read the label on the pack or speak to your doctor.
How do you use Caverject Dual Chamber?
These instructions are intended as a reminder only; you should follow your doctor's
advice where it differs from this leaflet. If you are using Caverject Dual Chamber for
the first time and you have previously used Caverject Powder for Injection, your
doctor should have given you advice about using Caverject Dual Chamber.
2. Attach the needle to the device by pushing the needle
on to the tip of the device. Turn clockwise until it is
firmly in place. The injection needle is enclosed in
2 protective caps. Pull off the outer protective cap of
the needle.
3. Hold the device with the needle pointing upwards. The
plunger rod should be in the extended position.
4. Turn the plunger rod clockwise until it stops. This
mixes the powder and diluent. Gently shake to make
sure that the solution is evenly mixed and the powder
has dissolved. Do not use if it remains cloudy or
contains particles.
5. Hold the device with the needle upwards. Carefully
remove the inner protective cap from the needle.
Make sure that the needle is not bent. If it is, do not
use it and throw it away. Do not attempt to straighten
it out.
6. To remove any large bubbles from the solution, flick
the cartridge with your finger until the bubbles
disappear. Then, keeping the device upright, make
sure that the plunger rod is fully turned to the stop by
screwing it to the right (clockwise) then immediately
press the plunger rod as far as it will go. A few drops
will appear at the needle point. It is normal for there to
be small bubbles at the side of the glass cartridge.
7. Turn the end of the plunger rod slowly clockwise to
select your dose. There are four dosage options. Each
option is one of four quarterly parts of a full dose
delivered by the device. Your doctor will have told you
what this should be. The number appearing in the
window indicates the dose of the injection. If you
make a mistake, continue to turn the plunger rod
clockwise until you reach the correct dose.
You can prepare your injection up to 24 hours before using it, providing it is kept at
room temperature.
How do you do the injection?
• Get undressed and make yourself comfortable. Take some time to relax yourself
and your partner. If your doctor has recommended you use an alcohol cleansing
pad, open one now.
• Make sure that the needle is not bent. A bent and re-straightened needle is
predisposed to breakage. Needle breakage, with a portion of the needle
remaining in the penis, has been reported and, in some cases, required
hospitalisation and surgical removal. If the needle is bent, do not use it and throw
it away. Do not attempt to straighten it out. Attach a new, unused sterile needle
to the syringe.
• Take hold of the penis from the front, with the first
two fingers underneath close to the testicles and
the thumb on top. Gently squeeze the penis
between your thumb and finger so that the
injection site bulges out. If there is a foreskin on
the penis, make sure it is stretched. The injection
will go into the part of the penis shown as the
shaded area in diagram A.
• Using the alcohol swab, wipe over the area and let
it dry. Check or if necessary adjust so that the right
dose is in the dose window.
• Keeping a firm grip on the penis and taking the
syringe in your free hand, push the needle straight
through the skin all the way into the bulgy part
avoiding veins or other obvious blood vessels. The
angle is shown in diagrams B and C. Push the
plunger firmly and if the solution does not come
out fairly easily, move the needle slightly and try
again. Do not force the Caverject Dual Chamber
liquid from the syringe.
• Pull the needle out. Massage the penis to help the alprostadil spread through it.
• Do not keep any mixture in the cartridge to use for a second injection. When you
have finished with the needle, throw it away carefully as recommended by
your doctor, so no-one will see it, use it, or prick themselves on it.
How often can you use Caverject Dual Chamber?
Do not use Caverject Dual Chamber more than once in 24 hours or more than three
times in a week. Change the exact place and side of the penis that you inject
Caverject Dual Chamber each time you use it.
Your erection after injecting Caverject Dual Chamber
It will take a little while for your erection to come on after the injection. With the
right dose of Caverject Dual Chamber, your erection should be strong enough for
you and your partner to enjoy lovemaking. Usually, your erection should not last
longer than an hour. If you would like it to last longer, talk to your doctor. If your
erection lasts longer than four hours, you should seek medical advice
immediately (see section on Take special care with Caverject Dual Chamber).
If you use too much Caverject Dual Chamber
Tell your doctor straight away as you may need treatment; particularly if you
experience an erection that lasts for longer than four hours.
If you have any further questions on how to use this product, ask your doctor.
4. Possible side effects
Like all medicines, Caverject Dual Chamber can cause side effects, although not
everybody gets them.
Tell your doctor immediately if
your erection goes on for longer than 4 hours. If you cannot contact your doctor, go
to a hospital casualty department immediately as treatment should be started
within 6 hours.

Date of Issue : 8 March 2016
India Post issued two stamps and a miniature sheet on 8th March 2016 jointly with UNPA to commemorate Int. Woman's Day. The theme of this stamp issue is UN Women Solidarity Movement for Gender Equality.
Image Courtesy : Stamps of India
UNPA Issue
UN Women – HeForShe
Gender inequality is one of the most persistent human rights violations of our time. Despite many years of promoting gender equality, inequalities among women/girls and men/boys continue to manifest in egregious ways around the world.
HeForShe is a solidarity movement for gender equality developed by UN Women (the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women). Its goal is to engage men and boys as advocates and agents of change for the achievement of gender equality and women's rights. The campaign encourages them to speak out and take action against inequalities faced by women and girls.
Gender equality is not only a women's issue, it is a human rights issue that affects all of us – women and girls, men and boys. We all benefit socially, politically and economically from gender equality in our everyday lives. When women are empowered, the whole of humanity benefits. Gender equality liberates not only women but also men, from prescribed social roles and gender stereotypes.
The overall goal of the campaign is to spread awareness and spark action on the responsibility that men and boys have in eliminating all forms of discrimination against women and violence against women and girls.

Leftover Veggies CurryPosted: January 15, 2017 Filed under: Curry | Tags: Curry, leftovers, rice, warm, weeknight Leave a comment
Today I had a little bit of this and that left in the fridge so I figured a curry is perfect for combining leftover produce in a batch of deliciousness. I combined two recipes from BBC Good Food and used a quick Garam Masala recipe (OK, but in the future I will probably be invest either time or money for a real version) to substitute for it in the recipe.
For the rice: Cook 1 cup brown or white rice in standard rice cooker
For the curry:
- 2 onions, sliced thinly
- 1 can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 stalk Broccoli, cut into florets
- Handful of spinach (fresh)
- 1 can of peeled tomatoes, 14 oz
- Olive oil, for pan
- 1 tsp garam masala/spice mixture
- 1 tsp tumeric powder
- 1 tsp coriander
- 1 can Coconut Milk, 14 oz
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 cloves of garlic, crushed/minced
- Add rice to rice cooker before prepping the vegetables – it will take a long time!
- Heat oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat, then add sliced onions. When translucent (about ~7 – 10 min), add garlic and spices and mix thoroughly for 2 – 3 minutes.
- Pour in can of tomatoes. Break down with a wooden spoon until chunky and allow it to simmer for 10 minutes.
- Pour in coconut milk and add s&p, stir occasionally and thicken for 15 minutes over medium-low heat. In the last 4 minutes, add in the broccoli florets to cook in the mixture
- Stir in chickpeas and spinach until spinach is wilted. Serve over rice!

General News of Saturday, 9 September 2017
Source: Myjoyonline.com
The Tema Metropolitan Assembly (TMA) has unanimously voted to lift Wednesday's suspension of Mr. Carlos Kingsley Ahenkorah, Member of Parliament (MP) for Tema West for obstructing the lawful work of Assembly officials.
This decision was premised on the plea by the Tema Metropolitan Chief Executive (MCE) to the TMA on Friday to reconsider the decision as he felt was harsh considering Mr. Ahenkorah's inability to give his side of the story.
"I will like to say to Members that I made a complaint to the PRCC, and that is what warranted Wednesday's meeting. I am assuring all of you that I am going to review that complaint and upon review, the PM will let you know," the MCE, Felix Mensah Nii Annan-La said.
Mr. Annan-La said his gesture was in the spirit of unity and development that was calculated to bring all who matter together to achieve his vision for Tema.
"I will take this opportunity to once again thank all honorable members whose expertise and experience has seen us through this exercise today," he added.
"I sit here today very sad because of what has happened throughout the week. We all know it has good and bad sides," he said whilst he looked back on the clash that occurred between the TMA Task Force and the MP over the siting of some 'containers' in front of the Cocoa Village at Community Two, Tema.
The incident was caught on audio visual storage devices and had gone viral on social media.
He observed that it was not only Mr. Ahenkorah who was affected by the decision of TMA, adding that "what happened to him has affected many, and if we have done something to affect their reputation I stand on behalf of the Assembly, as the Mayor of Tema to apologize and at the appropriate time what need to be done will be done."
The MP for Tema Central, Mr. Kofi Brako advised Assembly Members to desist from encouraging the unlawful siting of 'containers'.
He observed that "we are their representatives so if they come appealing to us that our 'containers' which have been sited here for years is being removed, for humanitarian reasons we also try to assist them. If we the Assembly Men do not allow the 'containers' to be placed at the wrong places, I am sure we will also not come around to do something at all."
He was happy for the decision and promised the Assembly that "there is never going to be a time that we will have that sort of confrontation with your MCE."
The Presiding Member (PM) of the Assembly, Richard Fiadomor, observed that it was the suspension that was looked at, but that the MP, who was also a Deputy Minister for Trade and Industry, will still appear before the Public Relations and Complaints Committee (PRCC).
"He didn't appear the first time that was why we saw it as an affront to the house. That is why we went ahead to suspend him. Now we have given him the opportunity to restart the process by appearing before the PRCC and then come before the General House to apologise if need be," he said.
"If he comes and we hear his side of the story and we think it is still not good, we will profile his story to the General Assembly to implement, and that is why we will want to send him back.
"We have not freed him; we have now given him the chance to appear before the PRCC and subsequently the General Assembly," he added.

LAMQG Swap - Melissa's orphan block
Melissa stipulated with this swap that we would be getting someone's "orphan" block and making something for them from it. Seeing as how I've been a bit obsessed with table runners lately, I was thinking that her block (the navy corners at the side ends and excluding the red strip at the top and bottom) might make a cool table runner. But not everyone is into table runners and once I tried the idea out as a journal cover, there was no going back.
I'm hoping that she gets excited about this orphan becoming something she can use daily.

Usually the surprises Hanford workers find as they clean up old buildings and burial grounds at the nuclear reservation are bad: undocumented, stray containers of dangerous radioactive or chemical materials.
So Randy Young and Sean O'Neal were cautious when they spotted a sealed coffee can tucked inside a wall behind asbestos-board paneling at a building they were preparing for demolition near D Reactor.
Young, dressed out in white coveralls and a respirator, gingerly picked it up. It was heavy enough that he knew something was tucked inside -- maybe bits of the asbestos-laden paneling, he guessed.
But when their supervisor at Washington Closure Hanford, Dustin Cooper, unpeeled the electrical tape and popped off the metal lid, he found a gift from past workers.
Digital Access for only $0.99
For the most comprehensive local coverage, subscribe today.
He could see immediately that it was a time capsule, he said.
The green MJB coffee can was packed with newspapers from September 1955. Out of one fell a note on the "Don't say it ... Write it!" memo form used for decades at Hanford.
The form was dated "9-26-1955 A.D." and addressed "to whom it may concern." That's all, other than three signatures -- K. Edward Thomas, Monte D. Dickinson and Henry L. Matear.
It appears that some planning went into preparing the time capsule.
Workers are used to finding reminders of past construction workers inside the walls of the hundreds of old buildings being torn down as part of environmental cleanup of the nuclear reservation. It produced plutonium for the nation's nuclear weapons program during the Cold War.
They find empty cigarette packages, crumpled newspaper pages and other trash. Once Young found a handwritten note saying, "Buy war bonds." Occasionally, they see walls signed by past generations of workers.
But the papers folded and fitted into the coffee can appeared to be collected over several days from multiple places, not just a random selection of what workers were reading at the construction site one day.
They included the GE News, a company publication for Hanford workers when General Electric was the site contractor. Copies of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, the Spokesman Review and the Columbia Basin News, a competitor to the Tri-City Herald in the '50s, also were folded and fitted into the can.
The top news of Sept. 26, 1955, was President Dwight Eisenhower's heart attack.
"President 'Satisfactory'; Heart Attack 'Moderate' " was the headline above the masthead for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Eight doctors were keeping watch, it reported.
The Columbia Basin Herald went with a Page 1 editorial -- "Let's Remember: He's President But Mortal Too" -- and a picture of the president waving at the McNary Dam dedication a year earlier. Local news included an account of a 5-year-old Kennewick girl badly injured when she was hit by a car.
The Spokesman Review, dated two days earlier, topped the page with a reproduction of a hoax ransom note for a California baby.
Some news doesn't change. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer ran a story about two women rescued after becoming lost in an Oregon forest.
But the GE News put a spin on its story about workers winning money for their cost-cutting ideas that wouldn't be politically correct for publication today.
Charlotte Hansen won $100 and the article started, "It isn't always the man who comes up with ideas on cost cutting and more efficient operations."
The newspapers are in delicate condition, said Tom Marceau, senior cultural resources specialist for Mission Support Alliance, the Hanford contractor responsible for collecting artifacts and historical items found across the site.
It's a stroke of luck the time capsule was found at all.
Workers were removing hazardous materials from the electrical substation that once served D Reactor and the complex of support buildings that surrounded it. It dates to World War II, when D Reactor began operating shortly after B Reactor, the world's first production-scale nuclear reactor.
In 1955, an addition was built with a single wall that had the asbestos paneling that needed to be removed before demolition. Workers were cutting off the asbestos boards, working carefully to prevent sparking near the old animal nests inside the wall.
Without the asbestos paneling, the wall would have come down when heavy equipment was brought in to demolish the building without the time capsule being discovered, Marceau said.
"The fact that these guys put it together is pretty neat," he said.
He's hoping that the workers who left the newspapers can be found. He would like to thank them and ask them what prompted them to leave the time capsule.
He'd had no luck tracking them down this week, checking for different spellings for letters that were difficult to read on the memo they left.
The Herald did find a death certificate filed in Benton County for a Monte Dickinson. It said Dickinson was born in 1900 and died at the age of 68 in 1969. But the Herald did not find possible information about the other two workers.
The items in the time capsule now will be brought before a DOE Hanford artifact committee that determines what to do with historic Hanford items.

Half of Australian pregnant women are turning to complementary and alternative medicines for pregnancy-related health conditions, a new study shows.
Massage therapists, chiropractors and meditation or yoga tutors were the most common complementary therapy practitioners sought, according to a University of Technology Sydney study.
The research by PhD student Amie Steel surveyed 1835 pregnant Australian women and found 49.4 per cent had consulted with an alternative medicine practitioner.
About 34 per cent had visited a massage therapist, while 16 per cent consulted a chiropractor and 14 per cent tried yoga or meditation.
Back pain was the most prevalent pregnancy-related condition reported, and women commonly consulted a chiropractor for the complaint.
Women also saw acupuncturists to alleviate back pain and to help prepare for labour, while naturopaths were often consulted for nausea.
Massage therapists were consulted for the nerve pain condition, sciatica, as well as neck and hip pain, according to the study published in the online journal BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth.
Ms Steel said the results may indicate women felt more empowered engaging a complementary health practitioner.
"Women are maybe looking for more control over their pregnancy," Ms Steel told AAP.
She suggested pregnant women could also be trying to avoid medical interventions they considered unsafe or undesirable.
They also might not be getting the care needed through conventional routes and were therefore seeking alternatives, Ms Steel said.
"We also found that women are making discretionary decisions about whom to consult depending on their immediate concerns, choosing chiropractors for back pain, massage therapists for neck pain and so on," Ms Steel said.
"This could be for a number of reasons, but it highlights the need for greater collaboration and inter-professional care in order to meet the needs of some women."
The study also found that women in the care of midwives were more likely to consult acupuncturists and doulas (birth assistants).
