Karnataka based-Kasturba Hospital has created a breakthrough in heart surgery, by operating a 68-year old man suffering from artrial fibrillation with an artrial plug device, so as to reduce the risk of a stroke in future. The patient was already on biological prosthetic valve and a contraindication for blood thinning agents like Warfarin. The team at Kasturba Hospital, lead by Dr Tom Devasia performed this procedure on this patient with atrial fibrillation and no other structural heart disease, but with a contraindication for Warfarin, a blood thinning medicine.
The patient was already suffering from artiral fibrillation, and was on medication to reduce his vulnerability to strokes. In a recent development, due to an intestinal bleeding caused by ulcers in the stomach, his situation further aggravated, with Warafarin becoming resistant to his internal biological system. This type of cardiac intervention is relatively new, and requires expertise to deal with the situation hands-on. Due to the collaborated effort amongst the specialty and the support team at the hospital, the patient was discharged after two days.


A vast number of people experience heart burn, also known as acid reflux. Studies show that approximately 60 million US adults experience symptoms at least once per week (1, 2). The more severe form of reflux, known as Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) effects 10-20% of the western population (3, 4). Despite how common reflux is, shockingly few people know the true cause of it! For this reason, reflux remains a chronic condition for most people. Fortunately, most cases of reflux have a treatable cause, which I will explain in this article.
But first, a little background. Usually, the acidic contents of the stomach is kept out of the esophagus by the lower-esophageal sphincter (LES). However, when stomach acid escapes through the LES and enters the esophagus, symptoms of reflux occur. These symptoms include heartburn (a burning sensation in the chest or abdomen), bad breath, nausea, swallowing problems, respiratory complications, esophagitis, Barrett's Esophagus, esophageal stricture, and vomiting (5).
The surgical intervention for GERD (fundoplication surgery) is to tighten the LES by suturing the top of the stomach around it. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), this surgery is invasive and usually does not completely eliminate symptoms or the need for medication (11).
And that's it. The problem here is that these approaches simply aim to reduce symptoms. None address the underlying cause. According to a recent editorial from Gastroenterology, treating GERD by decreasing stomach acid will never be ideal because acid secretion is not the cause (12). Because of this disconnect, it is not uncommon for people to go years, or even decades, suffering through reflux symptoms, avoiding numerous foods and using acid-lowering medications. Not only does this approach fail to fix the problem, but there are significant risks of prolonged stomach acid suppression (which I will discuss below).
Wouldn't it be better if you could eliminate the cause of reflux, then live without medication or surgical intervention? In this article I will explain what the underlying cause of GERD is for most people, outline the major risks of suppressing stomach acid, and suggest a 3-step process for addressing acid reflux.
As for the cause of GERD, the question is why the LES is opening and allowing stomach acid to enter the esophagus. When the LES opens, this is called a transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation (TLESR). Studies have analyzed TLESRs in GERD patients using manometry, a technique of lowering a pressure-sensitive tube through the LES into the stomach. These manometry studies have found that GERD patients experience lower LES pressure (weaker contraction), more belching, and more pressure in the stomach (intragastric pressure) (13, 14).
Obesity and pregnancy are independent risk factors for reflux, which means the condition is caused solely by the increased abdominal pressure in those cases (15, 16). However, the rest of reflux sufferers experience it for a different reason. A common belief is that they have high stomach acid. This is unlikely, as the risk of GERD increases with age, but production of stomach acid decreases with age. Studies have found that approximately 30% of adults over age 60 have atrophic gastritis (stomach inflammation associated with low acid) (17). Another study found that 39.8% of women over age 80 suffer from achlorhydria, or no stomach acid (18). Thus, it is not increased stomach acid, but the escape of stomach acid into the esophagus that causes symptoms.
So, the question is what causes decreased lower LES pressure, more belching, and increased intragastric pressure in GERD patients. One possible explanation for these findings is that something is causing increased gas in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, forcing the LES to open more often or more forcefully. If this were true, then surgical tightening of the LES (fundoplication surgery) would lead to increased pressure in the GI tract. In fact, research has shown fundoplication surgery to do just that – it increases symptoms of gas, flatulence, and bloating (19, 20). In other words, the gas has to go somewhere. If it can't go up, then it goes down (flatulence) and/or out (bloating).
So, where could this gas be coming from? Well, one answer is an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine, known as small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) (21). Intestinal bacteria are usually only majorly present in the large intestine but, in the case of SIBO, bacteria have migrated to the small intestine and thrived there (52). These bacteria derive most of their energy from carbohydrates and produce large volumes of gas (22). The incidence of SIBO has been measured using the glucose breath test at 5.9% among younger adults and 15.6% among older adults. (52). However, the glucose test is known to be fairly insensitive for SIBO and, thus, the incidence is likely even higher. With 20% of adults experiencing reflux symptoms, it's entirely possible for the majority of them to have SIBO. A second possible contributor to excess intragastric pressure is gut dysbiosis. In this case, there are too large a proportion of gas-producing strains of bacteria.
So, what is the evidence that gut bacteria cause reflux? If SIBO or gut dysbiosis were truly the cause of reflux, then you would expect lower carbohydrate intake to decrease symptoms. This is because gut bacteria depend on carbohydrate (especially non-digestible fibers) for fuel (23). Sure enough, research has found that low-carbohydrate diets significantly improve reflux symptoms (24, 25). This fact explains why research has found carbohydrate intake to be significantly associated with GERD symptoms (10).
And there's more. The standard treatment for SIBO is antibiotics targeting the overgrown intestinal bacteria. Interestingly, research has shown that antibiotics reduce reflux symptoms and esophageal acid exposure, and increase LES pressure (strength of contraction) (26, 27, 28). So, eliminating bacteria with antibiotics actually improves acid reflux. If bacteria were not the cause of acid reflux, you would not expect any effect of antibiotics. This evidence further suggests that gut bacteria is a significant underlying cause of acid reflux.
In other evidence of this, studies have shown that feeding intestinal bacteria worsens acid reflux symptoms. Prebiotics are fibers that are not digested and absorbed by the human GI tract, but that are metabolized by intestinal bacteria. Prebiotics are helpful for gut health if bacteria are in the correct location, but they worsen SIBO symptoms by feeding the small intestinal growth. A study looking at the prebiotic fiber fructooligosaccharide (FOS) found that GERD patients treated with FOS experienced an increased rate of TLESRs, a higher number of reflux episodes, and worsened GERD symptoms (29).
As final evidence of the SIBO – reflux connection, you would expect an increased rate of reflux in populations known to experience high rates of SIBO. In fact, this is the case. Cystic fibrosis patients have an increased rate both SIBO and reflux (30, 31, 32, 33). The reason for this is believed to be that they have a mucus blockage of the pancreatic duct. This duct usually releases the carbohydrate-digesting enzyme amylase. When carbohydrates can not be digested, they move further down the GI tract and reach bacteria which grow and thrive on it.
In another example, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) patients experience significantly higher rates of both SIBO and GERD (34 35, 36,37). Just like with acid reflux, treatment of IBS with low-carbohydrate diets and antibiotics is often successful (38, 39, 40, 41). This evidence shows again that reflux has a strong connection with gut bacteria.
I hope you now see the strong evidence that a common cause of acid reflux is SIBO. The natural question to then ask is what the cause of SIBO is. One cause can be low stomach acid. Yes, you read that right! Reflux sufferers are usually under the impression that their stomach acid is too high when, in fact, the opposite may be true. Low stomach acid can be caused by H. Pylori infection (a bacterial infection of the stomach), use of acid-lowering medications, or chronic stomach inflammation (chronic atrophic gastritis, CAG) (42, 43). The cause of CAG can be either a response to H.Pylori and/or acid-lowering medications, or it can be caused by an autoimmune attack of the parietal (acid-producing) cells of the stomach. Regardless of the cause, low stomach acid has been linked to increase risk of SIBO. Therefore, one important step for acid reflux sufferers is to determine if they have low stomach acid and, if so, to address it.
Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD) – Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis.
Therefore, the major question with acid reflux is whether SIBO and/or gut dysbiosis are present. In the case of SIBO, low stomach acid should be investigated as a possible underlying cause. If stomach acid is normal, then other possible causes should be investigated.
A 2013 meta analysis scrutinized all literature on the connection between PPI use and SIBO. It found that there IS a significant connection between PPI use and SIBO, but only when the gold standard SIBO tests are used (duodenal or jujenal aspirate cultures) (44).
A clinical trail found that when Prilosec (a PPI) was given to 30 GERD patients for three months, 11 of them developed SIBO, while only 1 out of 10 controls developed it (45).
In another clinical trail, when GERD patients were treated with a PPI for 6 months, 26% developed SIBO and a statistically significant number of them developed IBS (51).
Thus, ongoing stomach acid suppression is by no means harmless. Fortunately, there is a way to break the vicious cycle, wean off acid-lowering medication, re-build gut health.
3 Steps to Eliminate GERD for Good!
1. Get Tested - Work with a medical provider to test for low stomach acid, nutrient deficiencies, SIBO, and gut dysbiosis. You may be able to accomplish these tests with either a gastroenterologist or a functional medicine doctor.
3. Restore healthy gut function – prevent re-occurrence by improving digestion and absorption and by restoring beneficial bacteria. Your functional nutritionist can work with you to find the best functional foods, prebiotics, probiotics, and remedies to restore healthy gut bacteria and mucosal lining. Enjoy your reflux-free life!
Many GERD sufferers are under the impression that medication, food avoidance, and possibly even surgery are their only treatment options. Unfortunately, these treatments fail to address the underlying reason for increased gastric pressure and leaking of stomach contents into the esophagus. Lowering of stomach acid is also not benign - it increases risk of nutrient deficiencies, infection, poor digestion, and gastric cancer. Lowering stomach acid can also worsen SIBO and gut dysbiosis, creating a vicious cycle that makes weaning from medication impossible.
Fortunately, there are ways to get tested, address SIBO and gut dysbiosis, and to restore gut health. Working with a team of professionals to accomplish this is the best approach. I hope this article has given hope and 'food for thought' if you suffer from GERD. You don't have to live with symptoms and medication forever.

L'urolàgnia (també anomenada urofília o més rarament ondinisme) és l'excitació sexual a través del contacte amb els orins o pixats. Constitueix una parafília sexual. Als ambients populars i del comerç sexual i se la coneix també com a pluja daurada (de l'anglès golden shower), els alemanys parlen de «cava natural» (Natursekt).

Pot ser activa o passiva. En la modalitat activa el subjecte gaudeix orinant sobre una altra persona, mentre que en la passiva el plaer sexual s'assoleix en rebre o entrar en contacte amb els orins d'altri. La urolàgnia s'associa generalment a pràctiques de caràcter sadomasoquista i de dominació on el practicant actiu és el subjecte dominant i el passiu el sotmès. Les pràctiques urolàgniques poden presentar moltes variants, que van des del simple deler per veure una persona orinar o ensumar els orins aliens, fins a ingerir-los, rebre'ls sobre el cos nu o fins i tot vestit o banyar-se en un recipient ple de pixats.

Impacte sobre la salut
Des del punt de vista de la salut i del sexe més segur, contràriament a les pràctiques de coprofàgia o coprofília, el contacte amb orina fresca de persones sanes és inofensiu. La feble concentració bacterial prové de bacteris que viuen a la uretra, i que no són pas patogens per a persones sanes. El contacte amb orina vella és desconsellada per què s'infecta ràpidament.

L'orina de persones amb hepatitis A conté llargues concentracions de virus i és força contagiosa. Segons la fundació alemanya de lluita contra el SIDA, AIDS-Hilfe la infecció amb el virus de la immunodeficiència humana (VIH) és poc probable tant que no hi ha cap sang. S'ha trobat virus de VIH, en orina, excrements, saliva, llàgrimes i transpiració, «però en concentracions molt febles i no suficients per a provocar una infecció». No hi ha cap risc al cas de cistitis inflamatòria. Generalment, no s'ha de practicar urolàgnia amb persones malaltes i persones que prenen molts de medicaments. En cas de dubtes, s'aconsella de parlar-ne amb el seu metge o amb un centre de prevenció de malalties de transmissió sexual.

Fins i tot el fet de beure la seva pròpia orina en petites quantitats ha sigut considerat com a panacea universal per alguns terapèutes esotèrics que l'haurien descoberta en cultures primitives llunyanes o que citen un centennari qui preconitza aquesta pràctica com el secret dels seus cent anys. Va ser molt popular en la medicina alternativa dels anys 1980. No hi ha cap estudi científic que provi qualsevol efecte beneficiós. Tot i en casos de penùria d'aigua, quan hom és perdut al mig de l'oceà no és pas un veritable remei, com que l'orina conté una alta concentració de sals, igual que l'aigua de mar. Beguda en pràctiques sexuals, s'aconsella beure molta aigua.

Alternative Ways for Western Integration of Ukraine During and After the Coronacrisis
Pavlo Klimkin
Andreas Umland
As EU, NATO and their member-states are getting more and more engrossed by the external and internal challenges, Kyiv and the friends of Ukraine should look for new ways to enhance the country's security, stability and growth until it joins the two larger Western organizations.
One of such ways could be a more intense and better development of the bilateral relations with friendly states across the globe, including the USA. In addition, Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova should try developing multilateral organizations with post-Communist NATO and EU member-states in Eastern Europe. This article continues a series of publications on the geopolitical significance of coronacrisis and its consequences recently started by the authors in the Mirror Weekly Ukraine and the website of European Council on Foreign Relations in Berlin [1].
Far-reaching political consequences of the ongoing pandemic are particularly dangerous for the international relations of weak countries located in the so-called geopolitical "grey zones", i.e. those that do not have international institutional affiliations [2]. Countries like Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova, which are not big military or economic powers and are not to a significant degree involved in major defense alliances and trade unions, are particularly at risk [3].
For Kyiv, Tbilisi and Chisinau this multifaceted crisis can additionally mean that their stalling integration into Western organizations will become even slower [4].
Problems with the EU and NATO
Programs involving Ukraine such as the EU's Eastern Partnership or NATO's Individual Partnership Action Plan will, most likely, go on or, maybe, will be reinforced [5]. Moreover, in 2019 Ukraine unambiguously enshrined the objective of becoming full EU and NATO member into its Constitution. Nevertheless, these organizations will, perhaps, become more introverted due to growing international uncertainty and inner instability of their member-states throughout this year.
Back in 2019 Ukrainian politicians and experts were deeply disappointed by a number, as per Kyiv, scandalous Western European decisions and signals. In particular, the unjustified return of the Russian delegation to the PACE, from which it was expelled in 2014 for attacking Ukraine, or the strange conciliatory turn in the French President Macron's rhetoric towards Russia. Moreover, Macron, as it was quickly revealed afterwards, has many supporters in other Western European countries in their desire to change the relationship between the EU and Russia and to start a new partnership in the sphere of security.
Germany has been supporting Ukraine a lot over the past years [6]. Yet, Berlin is still causing irritation to Kyiv and other Eastern European capitals with its short-sighted determination to complete the construction of Nord Stream 2 via the Baltic Sea [7]. The German and Austrian governments continue supporting the questionable underwater pipeline, even in view of the growing resistance to this dubious project in Eastern Europe and the USA in 2019.
It appears that in 2020 the international standing of such countries as Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova will become even worse. World politics has been becoming more and more complicated since the start of coronavirus epidemics. The EU and its member-states are not only caught up with the pandemic and its various economic consequences. They are simultaneously facing a new refugee crisis in the South of Europe, a challenging situation in the Middle East and Africa, increasingly complicated relations between Turkey and the unpredictable President of the USA, who has a different understanding of the principles of transatlantic solidarity than his predecessors had.
Recent ambivalent trends
Not all recent foreign trends are bad for Ukraine. In the hopes of not only Kyiv, political, economic and social consequences of the pandemic which are aggravating in Russia, may weaken the Kremlin's foreign political adventurousness. An awkward attempt of Moscow to push out primarily American shale oil producers from the world market and in such a way "punish" the USA for their recent sanctions against Nord Stream 2 has already resulted in loss of some of the international energy markets for Russia and the collapse of prices for its products.
What is more, Russia is now closely watching the election campaign in the USA and it clearly does not want for the democratic candidate to become the President in November 2020. After October 2021 parliamentary elections in Germany a relatively pro-Ukrainian green party can get into the new government of FRG. Nevertheless, a potentially favorable impact of these and other political changes in the international relations of Ukraine as of spring 2020 remains vague.
As far as the two main foreign policy goals of Ukraine are concerned – joining NATO and the EU – today the prospects of achieving them look less certain than before the beginning of current world crisis. Already after the victory of the Orange Revolution in 2004 and the Revolution of Dignity of 2014, Ukrainian political and intellectual elite were on numerous occasions dissatisfied with the Brussels policy. For instance, the 2008 official applications of Kyiv and Tbilisi for NATO membership were not denied. Moreover, it was stated that the countries would join NATO in the future. Despite this, their accession to the North Atlantic Alliance got indefinitely delayed for some strange reason. Neither Membership Action Plans nor any other road maps regarding the two countries joining NATO have been passed in response to official requests of Ukraine and Georgia to join the Alliance.
Association Agreement between Ukraine and the EU signed in 2014 after the Revolution of Dignity did not result in formal change of the traditionally undetermined stance of the EU on possible future membership of Ukraine in the Union. No EU bodies, however, have officially denied EU membership for Ukraine. Yet, the texts of Ukrainian as well as Georgian and Moldavian Association Agreements with the EU contain no specific references to the potential future accession.
Irrelevance of the Balkan states example
Undoubtedly, Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova are still far from the standards required for joining the EU [8]. Nonetheless, the Western Balkan states, which have not yet joined the Union, but already have official prospects of membership or are even negotiating their accession, are not that much ahead of Ukraine or Georgia. What prevents the latter from moving towards the EU is their inability to switch from the post-Soviet oligarch model to a more contemporary one. Still, lack of a developed long-term strategy, lack of political will and unnecessary fear of Russia in Brussels are, perhaps, the main reasons why there are no concrete formulations in the decisions of the Council or Commission as to the prospects of membership for Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova [9].
Current amalgamation of inner problems in NATO and EU member-states as well as the necessity for these organizations to adjust to the new reality during and after the pandemic is bad news for such candidates as Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova. Ongoing NATO and EU expansion in the Western Balkans may still be relatively smooth as evidenced by North Macedonia's recent accession to NATO. However, this is connected to the fact that former Yugoslavian republics and Albania are partly NATO and EU members already and/or are affiliated with them. That is why current and future success of potential Euro-Atlantic integration of the Balkan states is unlikely to have any positive impact for Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova. Possible problems and failures in the future integration of Western Balkans will, on the contrary, have a negative impact on the general process of the EU and NATO reinforcement.
All this means that Kyiv, Tbilisi and Chisinau need to review their short and mid-term foreign policy priorities as well as the ways of achieving them. EU and NATO membership will certainly remain their main goals. In view of the increased geopolitical uncertainty and instability, these goals will be hard to achieve in the nearest future. In this context, Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova will have to think carefully about their plan of action for a relatively long period of time, when their current international standing will remain unchanged and they will stay in the geopolitical "grey zone".
A new chance after the US elections?
The most obvious temporary solution for Kyiv would be a speedy and multilateral development of relations with countries which already have or will soon have a more or less pro-Ukrainian position. For instance, Kyiv could try and do a serious update and expansion of the little-known Charter on Strategic Partnership USA-Ukraine 2008 [10]. During negotiations with Washington Kyiv could refer to the respect the United States have shown for Ukrainian borders, sovereignty and integrity in the famous Budapest Memorandum of 1994 on Security Assurances relating to the accession of Ukraine to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons [11]. The updated Charter 2008 could include the following:
more specific guarantees, as compared to those contained in the Budapest Memorandum, by the USA with regard to Ukraine's security until it joins NATO:
a new security cooperation package between Washington and Kyiv.
In this case upgrade of the existing Charter between the USA and Ukraine could result in a brand-new agreement between the two countries. It could include the Great Britain as another signatory to the Budapest Memorandum, or even Canada and a number of other particularly pro-Ukrainian Western countries. Ideally, a new pact between Kyiv and Washington could contain provisions similar to those contained in the 1953 Mutual Defense Treaty between the United States and the Republic of Korea or a formulation of military assistance commitments, which the USA took on in bilateral treaties with other close allies across the globe that are not NATO members.
The prospects of such a fundamental change in international involvement of Kyiv are yet unclear, but other directions of improving international ties of Ukraine are more certain. The relations between Ukraine and several Eastern European countries with pro-Ukrainian or Russia-skeptical governments can and should be improved even today [12]. This refers to both small countries like Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania or Slovakia and bigger countries like Poland and Romania. Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova should not only strive for closer bilateral ties with those countries. They could also try creating new multilateral organizations with these and other Eastern European states that would cross the borders of NATO and the EU.
Types of Intermarium
In fact, this strategy was already tried out in December 2005, when Estonia, Georgia, Lithuania, Latvia, Moldova, North Macedonia, Romania, Slovenia and Ukraine created the so-called Community of Democratic Choice in Kyiv. Some of these nine countries were EU and/or NATO members at the time, while others weren't. However, the Community did not do anything in particular and today is forgotten.
A similar strategy for Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova for the nearest future could be an attempt to join the already existing multilateral regional projects. This is first of all the so-called Three Seas Initiative of the twelve Eastern EU member-states (Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia) created in 2016 and the so-called Bucharest Nine – a group of countries of the Eastern European NATO wing (Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Romania, Bulgaria) formed in 2015 [13]. The Three Seas Initiative focuses on infrastructure and transport and the Bucharest Nine is about security and defense. Thus, both organizations deal with aspects of Eastern European geoeconomy and geopolitics, which are crucial for the protection, stability and development of Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova [14]. The expansion of the Three Seas Initiative to the east could take place with the simultaneous support of Brussels and Washington and the strengthening of the Bucharest Nine could happen within the framework of already existing special partnership between NATO, Ukraine and Georgia.
Another strategy for Georgia and Ukraine as NATO applicant-states as well as, possibly, for Azerbaijan and Moldova, which have no plans of joining the Alliance, would be to convince the United States to support the already existing Organization for Democracy and Economic Development of the four countries (GUAM) founded in 1997. Another option is to try and convince Washington to offer the four countries an equivalent of the US-Baltic Charter concluded in 1998 with Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania [15] or the US-Adriatic Charter signed in 2003 with Albania, Croatia and North Macedonia [16]. Such US-GUAM Charter would update and expand the already existing bilateral Washington Strategic Partnership Charter with Kyiv and Tbilisi and would ensure that the four former Soviet republics have at least a certain degree of involvement in the international security system [17].
The abovementioned does not mean that there could not appear any new formats of interaction in Central Eastern Europe that would promote realization of human and economic potential of the special regional "Central European identity" as part of the General European civilization. Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova as well as other international friends can and should think of different formats that would change the external involvement and geopolitical standing of these countries. Kyiv has a number of alternative ways for constant promotion of its Western integration even without starting the formal procedure of NATO and the EU accession.
In 2020 the geopolitical instability of the existing system of international relations in Eastern Europe will, probably, be increasing with each month due to new political, economic and social consequences of coronavirus spreading. Before the pandemic some internal processes in a number of Western countries, including Great Britain, the USA and France, created uncertainty as to identity and the future of NATO and the EU. All this means that keeping the status-quo or coming back to it after the crisis is highly unlikely. In particular, the international organizations will, perhaps, be or become, at least temporarily, more closed, or will be transformed significantly, which may create new opportunities.
Bold use of new unexpected chances for increasing international involvement of present day "grey zone" countries will be possible only on condition of radical social-economic changes in Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova. Not achieving noticeable progress in conducting reforms may close the way to NATO and the EU for a long time and, maybe, forever (which Russia is, of course, extremely keen on). The "brave new world" that Ukraine is currently entering, more than ever needs creativity and quick wit as well as political will and efficient dialogue with the society to avoid the traps and to use the opportunities presented.
In the months to come officials and the society in Ukraine need to build an updated and agreed vision of further integration of the nation into the Euro-Atlantic space until they receive formal prospect of membership and start the accession to the EU and NATO. Whichever way the world develops in the future, strengthening of external and internal security as well as gradual entering and consolidation in different inter-state unions of liberal democracies of the world remain top priorities for Kyiv. Even under conditions of absolutely new distribution of international powers brought about by the crisis, the foundations of Ukrainian foreign political strategy may and should remain unchanged. Yet, the specific tactics and further steps of implementing this strategy in the future require comprehensive revisiting, creative review and flexible adjustment.

A game publisher is a company that publishes games that they have either developed internally or had it developed externally (by partnering with another company or outsourcing). As with publishers of other mediums such as: books, comics, mangas, etc, game publishers are responsible for their product's manufacturing and marketing. They usually finance the development, sometimes paying a game developer, game design team or game company. Some publishers have their own internal staff to create games which they later publish.
There are a lot of functions which the publishers will do, with some of them being: deciding on and paying for any license that the game may utilize, layout, printing and sometimes the writing of the user manual and the creation of graphic design elements such as the box design.
The upside of a developer company having their game published, distrubuted and marketed by a publisher is that the studio will get funds for creating the game and publishers (especially big ones) have great connections to help your game get distributed better and make more sales. The downside is that usually publishers will force you to give them the IP rights for your game and also tend to tell you what you can or can't put into the game. Basically, you get to bring your idea to life at the cost of the publisher deciding which direction it takes.
There are a lot of independent developers which do all the publisher's work on their own. If you wish to read more about how they do this, our Indie Marketing page might be of interest!

Today I want to show you how to make the old recipe of true Neapolitan heritage: The Pastiera Napoletana.
When I was a child, my grandmother used to bake pastiera every Easter's time. This was for me a special occasion to visit her. So I grew up loving culinary traditions of the South of Italy. Bakings pastiera is like reliving childhood memories.
Pastiera Napoletana is a type of Italian cake made with ricotta cheese. It originates from the area of Naples. It is a typical cake during Easter time.
It was used during the pagan celebrations of the return of the Spring time. This explains why it become sweet Easter. During these celebrations Ceres' priestess brought an egg, symbol of new life in procession. Because of the wheat or the einkorn, mixed with the soft ricotta cheese, it could come from the einkorn bread called "confarreatio", an essential ingredient in the ceremony of the type of ancient Roman weddings named after it "confarreatio". Another hypothesis we may consider is that it comes from ritual bread used, which spread during the period of Constantine the Great. They were made of honey and milk the people offered the catechumen during Easter Eve at the end of the ceremony of baptism.
We know for certain that the nuns of the ancient convent of San Gregorio Armeno were considered to be geniuses in the complex preparation of the Pastiera. They used to prepare a great quantity for the rich families during Easter time.
There are two different ways of preparing pastiera: in the older, the ricotta is mixed with the eggs; in the newer, thick pastry cream is added, making the pastiera softer. This innovation was introduced by Starace, a Neapolitan confectioner with a shop in a corner in Municipio Square.
The Pastiera Napoletana has to be cooked some days in advance, no later than Maundy Thursday or Good Friday, in order to allow the fragrances to mix properly and result in that unique flavor. The Pastiera is not only cooked but also sold and served in appropriate pans called "ruoti" because it is very fragile, so it would easily crumble up if removed from the "ruoto".
Add the cooked cracked wheat(photo5) and lastly the bottle of any essence for cakes (if you can find Millefiori essence in local italian shop).
Tip: You can buy cooked cracked wheat at any italian shop who seller typic Italian products. I bought it at supermarket in Italy, but I am sure that it won't be difficult to find this ingredient nowadays in any Italian shop.
Tip: if you don't have the cooked cracked wheat, here I am explaining you how to prepare the cream of wheat: Put in a pot the pre-cooked wheat, milk, butter and grated lemon peel. Simmer everything on low heat, stirring until you obtain a thick cream. Pour the mixture into a large bowl and let cool.
Stir the mixture until it is creamy and smooth.
Tip: the quantity of filling is enough for 2 tarts: one large and one medium.
Tip: This time I used another recipe to prepare the short pastry. I liked the idea to try something different from mine. You can use this new recipe or my old one, which I posted here: how to make short pastry. Considering that when I was going to pour in the mixture I had to prepare a second short pastry, I suggest to use my old one. The quantities here are for one short pastry. In my recipe, there are the quantities how to make two short pastries. Anyway, I guarantee that this is new recipe is good too.
Prepare the pastry by mixing the flour, 2 eggs, softened butter or lard, the sugar and a pinch of salt, and stir just enough to produce a smooth, consistent dough.
Grease a baking dish with butter and line it with the pastry, pouring in the mix of photo 9.
Bake the pastiera in a preheated oven at 180 degree approximately for one hour.
Delicious at breakfast, as dessert or at teatime.
I wish you an Happy Easter with Peace and Love.

So my body is changing and I am starting to go in a different direction that I thought I was with my face. I for sure thought I had a round forever fat face but my chin is becoming more defined and my face is turning into an oval shape. It will take me some time to get used to it but so far so good! I still have more to go but I can't wait to see what it will look like 2 months from now!
Today is so hot! I decided I will work out in the basement tonight where it's cool. I want to buy a jump rope. I think the next time I get some extra $ I will order one. I have the one I want picked out and everything. They say if you jump rope; within the first 15 minutes you are getting a total body workout. I have always loved it so it's a win-win for me! I used to jump rope all the time when I was in elementary school. It's amazing on how many of the rhymes I can still remember word for word!
Interesting information about green tea pictured below… I need to start drinking more! As of right now I have a cup each morning and MAYBE one in the afternoon but after seeing this, true or not I am going to start to at least try and have it 3 times a day.


What a thrill to announce I've been invited to join the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill as an Adjunct Instructor in Nutrition at the Gillings School of Global Public Health. Starting in January, I'll be teaching a graduate course in Food Science. Being invited back to my alma mater means so much to me because of what the university gave to me. The academic scientific education and rigorous clinical training in nutrition and public health provided a robust and multi-faceted toolbox to use in treating my patients. To have so much to draw upon has imparted both confidence and competence in my practice at Triangle Nutritional Wellness.
Whether it's been the effectiveness of my weight-loss program or complicated medical nutrition therapy for complex chronic ills, the combination of evidence-based information, the holistic approach I learned from Dr.Thomas Rau, and my extensive professional culinary knowledge have served me–and my clients–well. It's no accident that UNC at Chapel Hill is ranked as highly as it is.
If I can inspire even a few students the way the amazing Amanda Holliday, Clinical Assistant Professor and Director of the Dietetics Programs, who was my advisor and teacher, inspired me, it will be an achievement. I look forward to pairing academia with my clinical nutrition practice.


Oh my gosh, what a week last week was. The flu hit our house bad and the week was spent nursing sick babies. Knock-on-wood we our all clear and healthy and that it doesn't hit DH and I next!
Being out of the office all last week has put me really behind and I wanted to start this week back on a positive note by doing a blog post about a great book and a giveaway. Annie and the Swiss Cheese Scarf is a new children's story about learning to knit. It is also the very first children's book published by my friend, and fellow knitwear designer, Alana Dakos of Never Not Knitting.
Alana wrote this book along with her six year old daughter and it is SO adorable. It's a story about Annie, a little girl that really wants to learn how to knit just like her mommy. Annie, becomes frustrated because at first learning how to knit isn't as easy as she'd hoped.
When her knitting starts to look more like swiss cheese rather than a real scarf she gives up on knitting leaving you to wonder if she'll ever pick up her needles again. This story is about overcoming hurdles to learn something new, even when it's challenging.
I love everything about this book. The characters are adorable and the the illustration work done by Neesha Hudson is amazing! Alana even adds a fun sort of 'hide-and-seek' game to each page.
I highly recommend buying this book. This charming story and would be a great addition to your children's library – or your knitting library for that matter!
Lucky for us, Alana was kind enough to send a Deluxe Gift Set to me and I'm offering it up as a giveaway. To enter, leave me a comment, let me know that you follow Alana or I on Twitter and tell me who you'd give the book to if you won it or if you'd simply keep it for yourself. I'll draw a lucky winner later in the week.
The more I see and hear about this book, the more i would love to have it for my kids!
Fingers crossed here. I have a 7 year old grnddaughter who wants to learn to knit! This looks so sweet and just what we need. Thanks for your blog and to Alana for all her wonderful patterns.
I follow you and Alana on Twitter. (I'm marilynknits.) I would love to win the book for myself. Thanks for the chance to win!
I am always looking for storybooks with a knitting theme – this one looks perfect!
I LOVE children's books, I'm an avid knitter; so I'd KEEP the book! Thanks for the giveaway; good luck to everyone!
i follow you both on twitter! thank you for the book review post. i love children's books and i didn't know this was released. i would add it to my lil man's library as i'm going to teach him to knit one day.
I'm following you both on twitter! This book would be just perfect for my 6 year old niece. She really wants to knit like her mum, aunt, and grandmothers but keeps getting in a sulk because she can't quite get it.
Looks to be a new Knitting Classic Book! Would love to win this book for my Grandaughter, a ggreat way to introduce her to knitting. Thanks for the chance to win.
Would love to have this book. I have seen posts and it so cute. Plus great to start new knitters!!!

Ro Vision awarded Ship of the Year 2020!
Published on Tuesday 01 September 2020
– The Live fish carrier fleet is continuously developing itself, and this year's winner shows the belief in reducing the environmental footprint and increased security, says minister of fishery and seafood in Norway Odd Emil Ingebrigtsen.
Competing against two other nominees, the world's first hybrid live fish carrier has been awarded Ship of the Year 2020. – The Live fish carrier fleet is continuously developing itself, and this year's winner shows the belief in reducing the environmental footprint and increased security, says minister of fishery and seafood in Norway Odd Emil Ingebrigtsen.
-This year's Ship of the Year is equipped as a hybrid and has fitted the most recent technology accessible for this type of ship, says the jury's leader, editor of Skipsrevyen Gustav-Erik Blaalid. "Ro Vision" will be the template for the owner's newbuilds. Later, it could be considered to refit the existing fleet in line with this template. That will increase the environmental gain, says Blaalid. Additionally, this award recognises the live fish carrier industry which has led the Norwegian ship technology and design becoming world-leading, says Blaalid.
The history of Ro Vision goes back to the pioneer Ro Arctic, the first live fish carrier in the LFC2020-design series. The project was supported by Innovasjon Norge and aimed to develop and design the next generation of live fish carriers. Working thoroughly with design and with good cooperation between owners Rostein AS and Naviera Orca SA, Skipskompetanse AS and Larsnes Mek Verksted AS, Ro Arctic was delivered and started operating in 2014. Following, Ro Server was built. She was an extended version of Ro Arctic, modified in line with experience drawn from Ro Arctic. During the year until 2018, Ro North, Ro West and Ro Fortune were all built using the same design as Ro Server.
In 2018, the project of Ro Vision was started, aiming to optimize the design even further, using experience from the previous vessels launched. The design was lengthened, and it was decided to install a battery pack of approximately 600 kWh.
In all the projects of the LFC2020 series, the close cooperation between owner, yard and designers have been the key to success. The owner involves in decision making and design using their knowledge on operating the vessels, while the yard includes experience in building to the design phase. This leads to a good design, focusing on easy maintenance and vessels operating the best way possible. That is why these live fish carriers are the best in the world.
Ship of the Year is the industry's most prestigious award for Norwegian ship technology and innovation. The award is each year given to a Norwegian built vessel from a Norwegian yard. Skipsrevyen's readers are nominating vessels to the award, while a qualified jury decides the winner. Skipsrevyen's partners for Ship of the Year are NME (Norske Maritime Eksportører, NTNU (Norges Teknisk-Naturvitenskapelige Universitet), Norges Rederiforbund, Norsk Industri, Maritime Bergen, Norske Skipsverft og Maritimt Forum.
Skipskompetanse have built experience in environmentally friendly operation of vessels and have in recent years delivered design on a number of hybrid vessels. In 2019, Støttfjord and Trondskjær were delivered to owners with hybrid propulsion and in July 2020, Cape Arkona set off to Australia with a battery pack on board.

FOUR VIDEO CLASSES
plus downloadable WORKSHEETS
Holding the River: Pacing
Go To Class
CLASS LENGTH: 2 HOURS
Effective pacing, like voice, can sometimes be an "I'll know it when I feel it" proposition, but there ARE practical considerations in creating an efficient narrative flow. In this workshop, we'll look at the issues of when to use exposition and when to employ more observable dramatic action; what kinds of scenes demand to be slowed down and savored and what scenes can be dispensed with more quickly; when--and if--we need aftermath or sequel scenes; and how to get a handle on the overall pacing of our novels, creating a sense of escalation and stronger drive as we move toward our story's climax. Bring writing implements and expect to work hard and have fun.
The End is the Beginning
CLASS LENGTH: 2 HOURS, 6 MINUTES
As writers, we're often guilty of noodling around with our story openings FOREVER, but what about our endings? In this generative workshop, we'll talk about—and play with writing—story endings that serve as a powerful target for the rest of your narrative. We'll ask ourselves what makes for a potent and resonant ending. Other topics covered: how to weave all of your plot threads and plot lines together and how to decide on the order for doing so; how to decide on last images/last lines; how to bring things full circle from your opening; how to avoid disappointing the reader; and how to clarify and underscore your protagonist's emotional journey at story's end. Please bring a novel or picture book with an ending that really worked for you, your current work-in-progress, and a notebook or laptop (or both) for some writing of your own!
Unstuck in the Middle
CLASS LENGTH: 2 HOURS, 20 MINUTES
This workshop will explore strategies to help keep promising early chapters from melting into a mushy middle. Topics include: vetting your premise to make sure it's sound and can carry a story filled with escalating stakes and complications; developing fully formed characters whose backstories, desires, and motivations are powerful enough to support a compelling narrative; deepening and expanding conflict so that it's capable of driving a novel; making certain the story operates at varying dramatic temperatures to ensure a vivid emotional experience for the reader; and more!
Deep Dive Into Scene Structure
Though many writers know the basics of scene structure, they fail to make their scenes do all the work they can do, taking the path of least resistance instead of challenging themselves—and their characters and stories—to greater heights. In this class, we'll dig into the foundational element of story construction, the scene, and examine ways in which every aspect of the scene can perform multiple functions, creating richer and more dynamic moments that lead to a much more satisfying work.
