Kim Kardashian has revealed that she "sobbed" after seeing her recent naked photo shoot forAmerican Idol host, Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM radio show, where she claimed that she was "surprised" by how naked she was.
Kardashian confessed: "I love it now and I'm glad that I did it, but when you are told something and it's not what you think it's going to be, I was so shocked. I felt like I'd been here and done this and kind of wanted to move on from that.

The New Whiggery
The New Whiggery exists to promote the best of the American constitutional tradition and to evaluate political decisions in light of history, first principles, prudence, and a moral framework grounded in natural law.
What is The New Whiggery?
The New Whiggery Fellowship
The New Whiggery Fellowship offers a guided study of the core ideas of the classical liberal tradition—a tradition at the heart of the American Founding. The classical liberal tradition orients around the presumption that each person ought to be permitted to pursue his or her interests, in his or her own way, within the rules of justice. That presumption emerged largely out of a Christian worldview emphasizing the fixedness and fallenness of human nature and the dignity of the individual. The classical liberal tradition advances the proposition that a system of political, economic, and religious freedom within the rule of law is the social order that best promotes the common good of humankind.
Classical liberalism drew from many streams. But it came forth principally in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Anglo-American discourse. The fellowship program will delve in key primary sources from this discourse, with readings in political philosophy from figures such as John Locke, David Hume, Baron de Montesquieu, Edmund Burke, James Wilson, and James Madison, and Benjamin Constant; in political economy from Francis Hutcheson, Adam Smith, Josiah Tucker, and Frédéric Bastiat; and in moral and political theology from John Calvin, Richard Steele, Richard Baxter, Joseph Butler, and Jonathan Edwards. These key sources will be complemented by selections from twentieth-century defenders of variants of classical liberalism including F. A. Hayek, Wilhelm Röpke, Milton Friedman, and Michael Novak.
The central themes to be explored in the fellowship are: property, justice, and the rule of law; economic freedom; religious freedom and toleration; the dignity of work and the pursuit of honest income; and the relationship between classical liberal philosophy and Christianity.
The New Whiggery Fellowship will meet at least three times monthly on Tuesday nights, starting on January 24 and ending on May 9. Dinner will be available at 6:00 PM, and the class will meet from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM, in the IRD office at McPherson Square (1023 15th St NW, Suite #200, Washington, DC 20005).
The Fellowship will be led by Erik Matson, Senior Research Fellow at the Mercatus Center, Deputy Director of the Adam Smith Program in the Department of Economics at George Mason University, and a Lecturer at the Busch School of Business at the Catholic University of America. He will be joined monthly by Sam Goldman, Associate Professor of Political Science at George Washington University, Executive Director of the John L. Loeb, Jr. Institute for Religious Freedom, and Director of the Politics and Values Program. Goldman, additionally, is the author of God's Country: Christian Zionism in America (2018), and After Nationalism (2021). There will be other guest speakers, as well as field trips and an off-site retreat.

The New Whiggery Principles
The New Whiggery (TNW) promotes the best of the Anglo-American tradition of ordered liberty, limited government, rule of law, free speech, respect for minority opinions, religious liberty, social harmony, reform, historical patience, multigenerational institution building, and optimism about the future, rooted ultimately in biblical anthropology and natural law. Whiggery emerged from Dutch-Anglo-American Protestantism but its principles are for all people who want order, liberty and justice. Special landmarks for TNW include the Glorious Revolution of 1688 resulting in Britain's Bill of Rights and Toleration Act, the Declaration of Independence of 1776, the U.S. Constitution of 1789, and the Gettysburg Address of 1863.
This legacy of liberty originated in a particular historical context, especially in Dutch, British and American cultures of the 1600s and 1700s, but it points to universal principles rooted in the divine order. Some contemporary critics deride this legacy of liberty as secular, materialistic, individualistic, even hedonistic. But the Anglo-American political tradition originated with a profoundly biblical understanding of society's duty to respect each person's right to live, think and speak without coercion, above all the ability to worship God freely. Each person equally bears God's image and merits respect. Other critics deride our legacy of liberty as oppressive, racist, patriarchal and imperialistic. They ignore that humanity is fallen, but that our Whiggish tradition has redemptively pointed to the dignity and equality of all persons, with transformative progress across centuries. Whiggery is providential. Humanity is sinful but God is kind and merciful. Whiggery rejects despair and utopianism. TNW esteems:
Constitutional self-government, rule of law, and legal equality for all.
Respect for minority rights and the protection of dissenting views.
An open public square, civil democratic discourse, and open market of ideas.
An appreciation for political balance and moderation.
A commitment to justice, social improvement, and reform that stresses the role of institutions, voluntary associations, and personal duty.
The compatibility of a market economy, dignified work, and a widespread regard for the common welfare.
Decentralized power with an executive enabled to act decisively during national peril.
A foreign policy of international order and openness, respect for legitimate national sovereignty, human rights, economic development, and anti-aggression.
A role for faith and conscience in public life.
These ideas emerged in a particular historical context but are not the exclusive inheritance of any nation or culture. Whiggery's realistic appraisal of human nature and distrust of arbitrary power is relevant for and conducive to human prosperity in all cultures. Anyone advocating for ordered liberty and against arbitrary power is Whiggish, whether in Hong Kong, or Ukraine, or Venezuela. Tyrants and materialists claim history favors them. Whigs know that Providence can seem slow but moves inexorably towards justice and freedom. Whiggery is historically patient but also is fiercely jealous for the rights and dignity of all people.
Whiggery believes in tradition and progress. To appreciate our history is not to obscure injustices or romanticize the past. Reformers fail if viewing the past as only shackles from which to be freed. TNW aims to commune with those who came before, admitting the bad, celebrating the good, reinvigorating our society today by perpetuating first principles for posterity.
TNW is a community of sensibility and an aesthetic. We cheerfully invite all to join us in aligning with a kind Providence in working for a better world of human dignity, freedom and justice.

Q: How can I write inline code ending in a backtick (`)? How can I write inline code (e.g. in a comment) ending in a backtick, without adding an extra space at the end?
I know that backticks can be included if the code is surrounded by double backticks, like so:
``context`fun``

But what if we want the last character of the code to be a backtick?
``context```  <-- this doesn't work because "```" doesn't close the code segment

``context` `` <-- this adds an extra space at the end

Use case: in Mathematica, context names always end in a backtick.
Of course this is not a big deal, and we can live with that space at the end. I was curious if there was a way to do this. If this is not possible, I'll accept that as an answer.

A: You have to cheat it:
context`
This was achieved by doing this:
context`

I got the idea from this answer

You can even do:
context`
Which was achieved by doing:
context`

(thanks to Arjan in the comments)

A: ``context` `` <-- this adds an extra space at the end

Actually, it doesn't. All characters have the same width inside . It's just that the backtick is smaller than most characters, so it seems like there is a space at the end.
The following two have the same length:

Apple CEO Tim Cook talks about the Apple Watch in Cupertino, California.
It's hard to poke holes in an earnings report for a company that showed a record second-quarter profit, a 27 percent rise in revenue, and one of the largest dividend increases in the history of capital markets.
But investors apparently found some issues with Apple on Tuesday morning, as the stock price declined more than 1 percent at one point.

Regatta Series Light Air and Fluky Conditions Mark Day 1 of the Lands' End Detroit NOOD
Light Air and Fluky Conditions Mark Day 1 of the Lands' End Detroit NOOD
The skippers and crew who were able to keep their boats rolling through big windshifts and a dying northerly came out on top on the first day of the 2006 Detroit NOOD
By Tony Bessinger
Detroit NOOD 2006 Day 1
Bruce Hubbard
Detroit's Bayview Yacht Club is a great place to have a party, and not too bad a place to hold a regatta out of, either. At the end of racing on the first day of the Lands' End NOOD Regatta the crowd of racers were tired, a tad sunburned, ready to have a few pops, and taking great delight in the joys of spending a day on the water racing sailboats. The wind was light and fluky, as it often is on Detroit's Lake St. Clair, but the enthusiasm in the 189-boat fleet, both on the water and back at Bayview after racing, was through the roof. Most sailors were content to call it a day and motor in once racing was done, but a solitary Crescent class sloop, the last NOOD racers to hit the dock, wasn't quite ready to take its sails down, despite the dying wind. Class stalwart Stephen Hume and his crew on Manon sailed into the Detroit River with their bright pink spinnaker flying, and their outboard motor silent, unwilling for the day's sailing to end. We caught up with Hume once he'd put his boat away to see how he'd done for the day. "We're in second." Said Hume, "but we're going to win this thing. My brother, David is in first with three bullets, but my crew is all female, they're all pretty, and we have luck on our side. I'd rather be lucky than good." Hume has been a Crescent sailor since 1985, and has some ideas about what he'd like to do to his brother tomorrow. "We're going to terrorize him at the start," said Hume. "We're going to run him right into the committee boat." Brother David may have other ideas, but at least we've warned the race committee.In the 19-boat T-10 class, the co-skippers of Head Honcho, Skip Dieball and Scott Irwin, ended the day with a 1-4 scoreline, and are in first, two points ahead of the second-place team on Smelly Pirate Hooker. "Scott got us of the line really well today," said Dieball. "It was light and shifty, but we kept the bow down, the sheets eased, and were always in foot mode, not point mode. We brought four little boat sailors and a couple of T-10 regulars for the NOOD, so our crew work is excellent." According to sailors with experience racing on Lake St.Clair, current is a key ingredient to racing here, especially where the T-10s were racing in Racing Area B, which is 6 miles East of Bayview YC, but Dieball wasn't seeing much current today. "I'm a little-boat sailor, so I tend to look for buoys to show us current," he said. "I know there should be, because there's a lot of water trying to get down the river, but we weren't getting set as we were approaching marks, it was all about pressure today." Dieball knows that a good first day is great, but it doesn't guarantee an overall win. "You can lose the regatta in one race," he said, "but you can't win it in one." A few years ago, not many people would think that Irwin's T-10 would ever sail again, much less be winning a NOOD regatta. "We bought the boat after it was virtually destroyed in a fire," said Irwin. "Gary Disbrow, a boat builder in Vermillion, Ohio, helped us put it back together with a new deck, and a new interior from bow to stern." According to Dieball and Irwin, Disbrow is doing a great job of re-vitalizing the class by rebuilding at least 15 or 20 T-10s that would have otherwise ended up on the scrapheap." In the J/105 class, Michael Morin and Dwayne Rose, co-owners of Junto, were pleased with their two fourth-place finishes, which put them in second overall behind Richard Listwan's Tenacious. "It was all about making the boat go fast today," said Morin. "The jib always had to have pressure; if you sailed to sail too high, it was deadly. It was such a fluky day; sometimes you were lucky and on the right side of a shift, sometimes not. We just tried to keep our boatspeed up." Crew work was an important part of Junto's day, according to Morin. "The sail handling was perfect today," he said. "In one-design racing, when you don't make any mistakes, it really helps." Morin and Rose have reason to be proud of their crew; Rose has one son sailing aboard Junto, Morin has two. Junto may well have the most visible crew gear at the Detroit NOOD this year, bright yellow t-shirts with Junto in large lettering. Junto may be one of the more appropriate names we've ever heard of for a J Boat. "Junto is an Old English name for a group of people with a common purpose," said Morin. "Our thought was could we come up with a word that starts with a "J," and Junto seemed perfect."The largest class at this year's Detroit NOOD is the 29-boat strong Cal 25 class. After three races, Dale Marshall's Clytie is winning a tiebreaker with Paul and Ross Nuechterlein's Never Alone, and John Shumaker's Pirogue, in second and third, respectively. Knocking at the door with 20 points is Stuart Thompson's Target Practice. In the 24-boat Melges 24 class Tim O'Neill's Rapid Sequence is in first with 17 points, closely followed by Team Satisfaction, skippered by Michael Schulz, with 18.

First things first. If you do not want to deal with difficult people, or any difficulty for that matter, then you�re wasting your time reading this article. You will run away all your life. No place on earth is safe from difficult people. You really have no choice but to learn how to face them squarely and effectively.
You must like people. All people take all sorts of attitudes. Liking people is the first sure step to triumph. Avoiding them, especially the difficult ones, is a sure road to becoming difficult yourself. So the first natural thing to do is go out and meet people. Very soon, you will meet difficult people. Greet them and genially accept whatever reaction they give you. Don�t be discouraged but greet more of them regularly until you get used to them, and until your LOT skyrockets to record-breaking heights. They may be rude and cruel, but no one�s ever heard of getting shot or killed by greeting difficult people.
Smile. Most touchy people can be neutralized by a friendly smile. So practice putting on a pleasant, simple, friendly smile in front of a mirror. Public speakers and actors study their facial expressions facing a mirror. Political and beauty aspirants take time with a photographer just putting on the best smile that exudes confidence and friendliness. A smile, they say, says it all. Regardless of how your face looks, a smile always puts on warmth and comeliness. A good smile always arrests the temper, even that of difficult people. So always smile.
Be sincere. A smile helps a lot, but sincerity gives your smile credibility. A mere smile is a matter of facial muscle flexing. When this alone is involved, the smile becomes unnatural. Put your heart into it! A sincere heart will automatically show if you live a life of sincerity. Practice sincerity. Always be sincere in all you do daily. When your heart gets used to being sincere, smiling sincerely becomes natural. Difficult people can see right through you, and sincerity melts their hearts.
Listen well. Almost every difficult people want to talk much more than they listen. This is the main problem in communication. Difficult people love to talk and want people to listen to them. In a nutshell that�s what they are. Basically, you cannot put two difficult persons together and have them talk. Difficult people avoid each other once they recognize each other. If they are made to sit down and listen, they won�t stand it. They will either stand up and steal the scene, or just walk out. If you are working for or with a difficult person, or worse locked up with him for life, practice becoming a good listener. You must learn the wisdom of enjoying listening. Few have this wisdom. Most people think there is wisdom in monopolizing a conversation. As in business, this only results in unfairness and silent protests. You can make difficult people happy when you just listen to them. Not many can do this. When you are a good listener, even the most difficult people tend to trust you with their secrets. Then you begin to know them as they reveal who they really are. You begin to understand them deeper; thus, you will be able to help them better. As they open up their secrets, understand and love them more.

New England Patriots Roster Cuts 2011: RB Sammy Morris Reportedly Cut
By sportsgirlkat Sep 3, 2011, 2:51pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: New England Patriots Roster Cuts 2011: RB Sammy Morris Reportedly Cut
Veteran running back Sammy Morris has been released by the New England Patriots, according to his agent.
Morris's agent Mark Slough reported the cut via Twitter, saying around 2pm on Saturday:
"In 12 yrs I've never had this talk w/ #Patriots RB Sammy Morris…just notified of his release. Sammy is consummate professional & class act."
Morris has been a member of the Patriots since 2007, and has played in 47 games with the team in four seasons. He has rushed for 2955 career yards. He has spent his entire NFL career within the AFC East. Morris was taken in the fifth round of the draft by the Buffalo Bills in 2000, and spent four years with the Bills and three years with the Miami Dolphins.
This might not be goodbye for the veteran. He lives nearby and if he chooses not to try out for another team, he could help out the Patriots down the road. Says NESN's Jeff Howe via Twitter:
"Sammy Morris could be a victim of his proximity. Lives in Foxboro area. Knows offense. Could essentially be 54th player on Pats' roster."

Showell resident shares her dismay that CAFO is slated for near St. Martins River.
I'm surprised I haven't heard more about the concentrated animal feeding operation proposed on Peerless Road in Showell. It seems the initial proposal and permitting slipped by everyone unnoticed, and now the fight so many of our residents are in might go unnoticed as well.
I was thrilled to see The Daily Times published a column by Tom Weiland on May 17 about this CAFO, bringing attention to the environmental insensitivity of our local legislators and the poultry industry, but I wish I would see more, to keep it in the mind's eye of the public.
My family moved away from a CAFO to a home on Shingle Landing Road, Bishopville, directly on the Shingle Landing Prong, which empties into the St. Martin River. On a well, we routinely tested the water at our previous residence and could never drink nor cook with it, the air was always dusty and acrid, and I had fears about my very young children's future respiratory health.
We were thankful to move, but now it seems it was all for naught.
The proposed site of this CAFO directs all runoff and air pollutants directly toward Middle Branch, which connects to Shingle Landing Prong, Bishopville Prong and the St. Martin River.
All of the improvements the community has worked so hard for to reinstate health and vigor in these waterways will be erased.
The groundwater of the surrounding residential communities will be tainted — sorry children of Showell Elementary and Most Blessed Sacrament Catholic schools.
And the air will be laced with invisible (and some visible) toxins.
Yes, we live on the Eastern Shore, where the poultry industry is king. I'm not so naive as to think all CAFOs will disappear and be replaced with old-fashioned family farms.
But these large-scale animal feeding and growing operations belong inland, away from tributaries and waterways — and away from residential areas and schools. I don't know one local resident who isn't a water lover, or who doesn't have a great love for our environment.
So it hasn't surprised me I can't found one person who isn't absolutely appalled when they hear of the location of this CAFO. As a member of the Protectors of the St. Martin River (find us on Facebook), I urge fellow residents to join me in the fight against this CAFO.
Katelyn Grant is a Bishopville resident, mom and water lover.


I came across this awesome iOS puzzle game the other day called Blackbox. The game literally makes you thinking outside the box when using your device.
But the catch is that ALL the puzzles require absolutely no touching on the screen. All the puzzles are solved using various hardware features on the phone. So as an example using the volume buttons or changing the brightness will solve the puzzles. It also uses a clever way to gain hints using your social platforms to allow other players of the game to help you along.
This is definitely one of the harder puzzle games I have played in a while. You WILL be frustrated with this game, but it is so clever that when you figure out the puzzle, you will probably kick yourself.


I am a strong woman when needed and a little weak girl when I am next to a strong man. I love to laugh and I think I'm a very cheerful person because of the career I'm in. People always say they can count on me and that's why I have a lot of aspirations in life. I just love to dream and imagine the future life. I just enjoy everything and that's how I feel happy. My career and jobs has almost taken all my world, that I could not make time for my love world I hope and do not believe it too late to wear my loving bag funny me. I wish all the best in search of love.

Can I Use Boric Acid Around My Orange Tree?
By Lauren Miller
Sweet Gum Tree & Ants
Sweet Orange as a Natural Bug Repellent
Liquid Fertilizer for Indoor Orange Trees
Orange Oil Insecticide Recipe
Orange Tree Insects
While it is fairly easy to grow and maintain a healthy orange tree, the plant can succumb to diseases and pests. Orange trees grow in the warm climates of U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 9 through 11. You can control some orange tree pests with natural insecticides, such as boric acid, instead of manufactured products.
Boric Acid Basics
Boric acid comes from a natural salt, called borate, that is mined from the earth. Compared to some synthetic chemicals used for pest control, it is relatively nontoxic to humans, pets and the environment. Used alone or as an active ingredient in pesticides, it is poisonous to some insects that can harm orange trees. When pests eat boric acid, the substance acts as a desiccant, drying out the insect's exoskeleton. It is also acts as a stomach poison and will cause pests to starve to death. You can buy boric acid from garden stores as tablets, powder, pellets, bait and dust. It is also available as a wettable powder and it is part of some liquid spray products.
Orange Tree Pests and Boric Acid
Orange tree pests you can control with boric acid include ants, scale insects, aphids and mealybugs. Scale insects look like small round or oval growths that may be flat or bumpy. Species of scale that infest orange trees include citrus snow, purple, glover, Florida red, yellow, chaff, cotton cushion and California red. Tiny aphids and mealybugs can also infest orange trees. Scale, aphids and mealybugs suck fluids from the tree and excrete honeydew, which attracts ants. While predatory wasps and parasites usually control these insects, when ants begin to feed on the honeydew, they disrupt this natural pest control process. The ants eat the beneficial insects to protect their source of honeydew on an orange tree. Ant baits that contain boric acid can help to kill scale-tending ant colonies.
Homemade Boric Acid Insecticides
Boric acid traps placed around an orange tree will not harm it. You can make your own bait traps with corn syrup, jelly or honey mixed with vegetable oil plus boric acid powder. Spread the homemade mix on wax paper or cardboard. The mix should contain about 5 percent boric acid. You can also make bait dispensers out of lidded plastic containers. Add 2 cups of water, 1 teaspoon of boric acid and 6 tablespoons of sugar. Punch holes in the container lids so the ants can reach the mix. You can train the ants to feed at the trap instead of the honeydew on your orange trees by first setting out traps that just contain the sugary substance. After a few days, replace the traps with ones that contain a boric acid mix. Make sure any sugary substances are kept away from children and pets that may try to eat something sweet.
Buying Boric Acid Traps
If you are not interested in making a homemade boric acid mix, you can buy gel or liquid bait to apply directly in the path of ants around your orange tree. If you have a patio tree in a container, the ready-made gel or liquid formulations may be less messy to handle than a homemade bait station. You can also buy boric acid sprays to apply around your tree.
While boric acid can act as a low toxicity pesticide and contains the plant micronutrient boron, it can be harmful if not used properly. Too much boric acid can contaminate the soil and affect plant growth. Signs of high levels of boron begin to appear in older leaves first. The tips begin to yellow and dry out. Chlorosis can also occur as leaves whiten from insufficient amounts of chlorophyll. Avoid these problems when treating your orange tree by keeping homemade applications of boric acid confined to traps. In addition, if you purchase a commercial pesticide that contains boric acid, take note of the other active ingredients. Other pesticides in the mix may be harmful to your grass, nearby plants and beneficial pests. Never pour or mix boric acid on the soil.

****************
Package overview
****************

:mod:`pandas` is an open source, BSD-licensed library providing high-performance,
easy-to-use data structures and data analysis tools for the `Python <https://www.python.org/>`__
programming language.

:mod:`pandas` consists of the following elements:

 * A set of labeled array data structures, the primary of which are
   Series and DataFrame.
 * Index objects enabling both simple axis indexing and multi-level /
   hierarchical axis indexing.
 * An integrated group by engine for aggregating and transforming data sets.
 * Date range generation (date_range) and custom date offsets enabling the
   implementation of customized frequencies.
 * Input/Output tools: loading tabular data from flat files (CSV, delimited,
   Excel 2003), and saving and loading pandas objects from the fast and
   efficient PyTables/HDF5 format.
 * Memory-efficient "sparse" versions of the standard data structures for storing
   data that is mostly missing or mostly constant (some fixed value).
 * Moving window statistics (rolling mean, rolling standard deviation, etc.).

Data Structures
---------------

.. csv-table::
    :header: "Dimensions", "Name", "Description"
    :widths: 15, 20, 50

    1, "Series", "1D labeled homogeneously-typed array"
    2, "DataFrame", "General 2D labeled, size-mutable tabular structure with potentially heterogeneously-typed column"

Why more than one data structure?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The best way to think about the pandas data structures is as flexible
containers for lower dimensional data. For example, DataFrame is a container
for Series, and Series is a container for scalars. We would like to be
able to insert and remove objects from these containers in a dictionary-like
fashion.

Also, we would like sensible default behaviors for the common API functions
which take into account the typical orientation of time series and
cross-sectional data sets. When using ndarrays to store 2- and 3-dimensional
data, a burden is placed on the user to consider the orientation of the data
set when writing functions; axes are considered more or less equivalent (except
when C- or Fortran-contiguousness matters for performance). In pandas, the axes
are intended to lend more semantic meaning to the data; i.e., for a particular
data set there is likely to be a "right" way to orient the data. The goal,
then, is to reduce the amount of mental effort required to code up data
transformations in downstream functions.

For example, with tabular data (DataFrame) it is more semantically helpful to
think of the **index** (the rows) and the **columns** rather than axis 0 and
axis 1. Iterating through the columns of the DataFrame thus results in more
readable code:

::

    for col in df.columns:
        series = df[col]
        # do something with series

Mutability and copying of data
------------------------------

All pandas data structures are value-mutable (the values they contain can be
altered) but not always size-mutable. The length of a Series cannot be
changed, but, for example, columns can be inserted into a DataFrame. However,
the vast majority of methods produce new objects and leave the input data
untouched. In general we like to **favor immutability** where sensible.

Alexander Hermann Graf von Wartensleben (16 December 1650 in Bad Lippspringe – 26 January 1734 in Berlin) was an officer in the armies of various German states, a Prussian Generalfeldmarschall and a member of the Cabinet of Three Counts with August David zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Hohenstein and Johann Kasimir Kolbe von Wartenberg - due to their heavy taxation, this was also known as the "three great W(oes)" of Prussia (Wartenberg, Wartensleben, Wittgenstein).

Between 1702 and 1723 he held the position of regimental chef of the 1st Prussian Infantry Regiment.

Life
He was the eldest son of Hermann Hans von Wartensleben and his wife Elisabeth von Haxthausen.  His father was lord of Güter Exten, as well as of Rinteln, Nordhold and Ottleben.  He led the Wartensleben Infantry Regiment at the Battle of Blenheim.

1709 he became lord of the manor in  Lichte (Wallendorf), Thuringian Highlands.

Simply put, a rhinoplasty is shaping or reshaping the nose. Most patients present with a myriad of problems. Some initially come in with difficulty breathing. Some note that they are always short of breath. Some have complete obstruction or sleep apnea, where they wake gasping at night. Some other patients simply have had the misfortune of having their noses broken. In all these patients the complex anatomy of the nose is unfavorable. Because of this, the patient is not able to breathe properly and comes in to ask for help. A rhinoplasty then involves first defining the problem of the patient and what exactly is giving them their difficulty. The next step is to correct this problem. Along the way, as we correct the functional problem, the effort will also be to give the patient the best cosmetic looking nose possible. Rhinoplasty is one of the more complicated procedures possible. The nose is broken down into many segments: the tip, the lateral segments, the dorsum or the bridge and then internal structures like the septum and its cartilage. Each and every one of these needs to be considered in assessing the problem of the patient and each and every one needs to be tailored to the reparative operation. Only in this way will the patient be given the best result.
Yes and no. Because a rhinoplasty has so many components, it is very possible that certain parts of the procedure are covered by insurance. If the patient initially presented with a functional problem such as obstruction, many insurances consider that as a medical necessity and will effectively pay for some of the charges. However, there are many parts of the procedure that the insurance company may consider to be cosmetic and not functionally important. Those will not be covered.
What Are the Possible Complications of a Rhinoplasty?
Like any surgery, there are risks and complications. With a rhinoplasty, the complications can be bleeding, infection, numbness, asymmetry, necrosis of the tissues, dehiscence or breakdown, septal perforation and breathing abnormalities. Of these the most often we see bleeding. Because the nose and the bones supporting it are highly vascular, any procedure affecting the contour and shape of the nose is inherently bloody. We do our best to inject medications during surgery to control this bleeding. Also following surgery, patients noses are packed allowing for us to control the bleeding. More importantly, however, bleeding can best be prevented by the patient. Patients need to be off of any type of blood thinners such as coumadin, aspirin, Plavix, and must also be off of vitamins and additives for at least three weeks. It may sound strange but many of the bleeding complications seen are due to the use of vitamins. Another complication that is seen is a septal perforation.
This is usually seen during surgery as the dissection is carried throughout the nose. When the different tissue layers of the nose are freed, in some cases small tears are seen. When a tear is appreciated and repaired, it usually heals. In some cases, the tissue is so fragile that following surgery, a small tear can occur around the septum and is not appreciated until much later. This causes the patient to have a dry nose. Most often this problem corrects itself over time. Last but not least patients sometimes end up with some obstructive symptoms after surgery with the swelling. This usually resolves. It is actually very understandable. When the patient has so much swelling due to surgery and in the post-operative period, it is common for them to feel obstructed and complain of breathing problems. Many of these problems again resolve with time as the swelling improves.
Like any surgical procedure, there is pain involved. Most patients comment that they have a mild to moderate amount of pain. Most of the pain seen with rhinoplasty is related to swelling. Most patients complain that they have a tremendous amount of swelling and therefore their faces feel full. This is the cause for most of the angst and not the actual pain level. Most patients do not really complain of pain. Actually, most speak about the fact that they are just soaring.
To treat the pain, we routinely keep patients on post-operative oral pain medicines. We have many to choose from. Again, like the level of pain that can be related to one's tolerance, the treatment for the pain can be individualized to give the patient the most amount of relief.
Also, most of the facial fullness of which the patients complain is relieved by the end of week one when most of the packing, internal and external splints are removed.
Great question. Most often I suggest to patients that they consider taking about 1 to 2 weeks from work. Let me elaborate. Once the operation is completed, the area involved becomes swollen and in many cases becomes extremely bruised. Most patients also have peri-orbital swelling, swelling around the eyes. This area then slowly goes through healing. I ask most of my patients to start walking by day#2. I ask them to stay away from exercise at the gym for about 4 weeks. I believe this prevents the development of excessive swelling. As for work though, most patients are fairly comfortable in returning by week 3. However, this does depend on what type of work the patient does.
Yes. Like any surgical procedure, there are limits to what can be done and what is safe. As for the yes, it can be combined with some other procedures. Multiple other procedures like a facial peel or laser therapy and ablative facial neck procedures are routinely performed. Any procedure that may be too long or too arduous and place the patient at risk for significant bleeding or significant anesthetic exposure would have to be deferred and done in two stages. Please understand I say this without knowing exactly what you, the patient, may have in mind. I can only speak from my experience.

Roger Ailes Faces Sexual Harassment Allegations From 6 More Women (Updated)
Former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson currently suing CEO for alleged misconduct
Joe Otterson | July 9, 2016 @ 9:10 AM
UPDATED at 11:12 a.m. PT: Barry Asen, the outside counsel for Ailes, issued the following statement to TheWrap: "It has become obvious that Ms. Carlson and her lawyer are desperately attempting to litigate this in the press because they have no legal case to argue. The latest allegations, all 30 to 50 years old, are false."
Roger Ailes is facing new allegations from six women who have said the Fox News chairman and CEO sexually harassed them over multiple decades, pre-dating his time as the head of the network.
After former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson sued Ailes for sexual harassment during her time at the network, the six additional women reached out to New York Magazine to describe their own alleged encounters with the executive.
Kellie Boyle, a former Republican National Committee field adviser, said that Ailes propositioned her in 1989 during their first meeting in New York. Boyle said that when she and Ailes were alone together in a car, he told her, "'You know if you want to play with the big boys, you have to lay with the big boys.'"

Boyle went on to say that when she asked Ailes if she would be expected to do similar things with other men in the media, he replied, "'Well you might have to give a blow — every once in a while.'"
Marsha Callahan, a former model, said that Ailes interviewed her in the late 1960s when he was producing "The Mike Douglas Show." She alleged that Ailes informed her she would have to sleep with him and "a few of [his] select friends" in order to get the job. When she refused, he said, "'Oh, pretty girls like you are a dime a dozen.'"
The four other women spoke on the condition of anonymity and told very similar stories. Three of those women were also models who said Ailes tried to engage in sexual activities with them during interviews in his office. The fourth said she was interviewing for a communications job with Ailes when he told her in so many words that she would have to sleep with him to get the job.

The author of the piece, Gabriel Sherman, previously published an unauthorized biography of Ailes entitled, " The Loudest Voice in the Room: How the Brilliant, Bombastic Roger Ailes Built Fox News – and Divided a Country."
Carlson's suit, filed on Wednesday in Bergen County, New Jersey, said she refused Ailes' sexual advances, and "as a direct and proximate result" her relationship with Fox News was severed in June.
The court filing states Ailes told Carlson on Sept. 16 of last year, "I think you and I should have had a sexual relationship a long time ago and then you'd be good and better and I'd be good and better."
11 Cable News Shows With Lower Ratings Than Gretchen Carlson's (Photos)
"Real Story" host Gretchen Carlson has filed a lawsuit accusing Fox News CEO Roger Ailes of sexual harassment. He says the allegations are "offensive" and false, and that she's retaliating because her show was canceled due to low ratings and her contract wasn't renewed.
So how low were the ratings? Between March 28 and June 26, "Real Story With Gretchen Carlson" averaged 183,000 viewers per episode in the 25-54 demographic.
The following 11 shows all earned worse ratings over the same period -- but all are on rival networks.
"Wolf" (CNN, Weekdays, 1 p.m.)
165,000 viewers
"CNN Newsroom" (CNN, Weekdays, 9-11 a.m. and 2-4 p.m.)
"The Place for Politics" (MSNBC, various times)
"At This Hour" (CNN, Weekdays, 11 a.m.)
"Legal View with Ashleigh Banfield" (CNN, Weekdays, 12 p.m.)
"Meet the Press Daily" (MSNBC, Weekdays, 5 p.m.)
"Nancy Grace" (HLN, Weekdays, 8 p.m.)
"Andrea Mitchell Reports" (MSNBC, Weekdays, 12 p.m.)
"MSNBC Live" (MSNBC, Weekdays, 9 a.m.-12 p.m., 1-5 p.m.)
"Morning Joe" (MSNBC, Weekdays, 6 a.m.)
"Morning Express with Robin Meade" (HLN, Weekdays, 6 a.m.)

A: The problem is not in the navigation components, your code looks fine regarding it; but that your main layout has a 0 size:
You need to set the root layout to match parent:
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">
...

Side note: the fragments will draw behind the toolbar as it constraints to the parent top edge; The same for the bottom part.
To fix this constraint it to the toolbar:
In the FragmentContainerView Replace:
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"

With:
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/toolbar"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@+id/bottom_nav"


Sharm el Sheikh is one of the Egypt's most popular tourist destinations and is renowned for its great weather and the excellent access that it provides to some of the regions most impressive cities, such as Cairo. If you are looking to explore, then we recommend St Catherine's monastry, which sits in the shadow of Mount Sinai and is only a short bus trip away from the centre of Sharm.
Thanks to its wonderfully clear waters, Sharm is ideal if you enjoy water-sports such as scuba diving and snorkelling, which are offered by some cruise lines in line with their own optional shore excursions.


Darwinian evolution depends on biodiversity for natural selection to act on.
Natural selection can only eliminate biological variations that are not as well adapted to the changing environmental conditions. Natural selection can not create biodiversity.
If there is sufficient biodiversity when an environmental change occurs some variations may be adapted to the changing environment. These variation will survive while natural selection, selects the poorly adapted variations for extinction. Those biodiversity will lead to a change in the population.
These variations must exist before natural selection can occur. Darwinian evolution had no answer for the source of the new unique variations. De Vrie's mutations were thought to be the answer. Modern biochemistry and knowledge of DNA have shown that mutations are always the result of a loss of information.
Evolution or changes in species may result from natural selection working with biodiversity to select well adapted variations to environmental changes. Darwinian evolution has no explanation for where biodiversity comes from.

Small scattered Viking raids began in the last years of the 8th century; in the 9th century large-scale plundering incursions were made in Britain and in the Frankish empire as well. Though Egbert defeated a large Viking force in 838 that had combined with the Britons of Cornwall and Aethelwulf won a great victory in 851 over a Viking army that had stormed Canterbury and London and put the Mercian king to flight, it was difficult to deal with an enemy that could attack anywhere on a long and undefended coastline. Destructive raids are recorded for Northumbria, East Anglia, Kent, and Wessex.
A large Danish army came to East Anglia in the autumn of 865, apparently intent on conquest. By 871, when it first attacked Wessex, it had already captured York, been bought off by Mercia, and had taken possession of East Anglia. Many battles were fought in Wessex, including one that led to a Danish defeat at Ashdown in 871. Alfred the Great, a son of Aethelwulf, succeeded to the throne in the course of the year and made peace; this gave him a respite until 876. Meanwhile the Danes drove out Burgred of Mercia, putting a puppet king in his place, and one of their divisions made a permanent settlement in Northumbria.
Alfred was able to force the Danes to leave Wessex in 877, and they settled northeastern Mercia; but a Viking attack in the winter of 878 came near to conquering Wessex. That it did not succeed is to be attributed to Alfred's tenacity. He retired to the Somerset marshes, and in the spring he secretly assembled an army that routed the Danes at Edington. Their king, Guthrum, accepted Christianity and took his forces to East Anglia, where they settled.
The importance of Alfred's victory cannot be exaggerated. It prevented the Danes from becoming masters of the whole of England. Wessex was never again in danger of falling under Danish control, and in the next century the Danish areas were reconquered from Wessex. Alfred's capture of London in 886 and the resultant acceptance of him by all the English outside the Danish areas was a preliminary to this reconquest. That Wessex stood when the other kingdoms had fallen must be put down to Alfred's courage and wisdom, to his defensive measures in reorganizing his army, to his building fortresses and ships, and to his diplomacy, which made the Welsh kings his allies. Renewed attacks by Viking hosts in 892–896, supported by the Danes resident in England, caused widespread damage but had no lasting success.
Good internal government contributed to Alfred's successful resistance to the Danes. He reorganized his finances and the services due from thegns, issued an important code of laws, and scrutinized carefully the exercise of justice. Alfred saw the Viking invasions as a punishment from God, especially because of a neglect of learning, without which men could not know and follow the will of God. He deplored the decay of Latin and enjoined its study by those destined for the church, but he also wished all young freemen of adequate means to learn to read English, and he aimed at supplying men with "the books most necessary for all men to know," in their own language.
Alfred had acquired an education despite great difficulties, and he translated some books himself with the help of scholars from Mercia, the Continent, and Wales. Among them they made available works of Bede and Orosius, Gregory and Augustine, and the De consolatione philosophiae of Boethius. Compilation of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle began in his reign. The effects of Alfred's educational reforms can be glimpsed in succeeding reigns, and his works continued to be copied. Only in his attempt to revive monasticism did he achieve little, for the monastic idea had lost its appeal—in England as well as on the Continent—during the Viking Age.
When Alfred died in 899, his son Edward succeeded him. A large-scale incursion by the Danes of Northumbria ended in their crushing defeat at Tettenhall in 910. Edward completed his father's plan of building a ring of fortresses around Wessex, and his sister Aethelflaed took similar measures in Mercia. In 912 Edward was ready to begin the series of campaigns by which he relentlessly advanced into the Danelaw (Danish territory in England), securing each advance by a fortress, until he won back Essex, East Anglia, and the east-Midland Danish areas. Aethelflaed moved similarly against the Danish territory of the Five Boroughs (Derby, Leicester, Nottingham, Lincoln, and Stamford). She obtained Derby and Leicester and gained a promise of submission from the Northumbrian Danes before she died in 918. Edward had by then reached Stamford, but he broke off his advance to secure his acceptance by the Mercians at Tamworth and to prevent their setting up an independent kingdom. Then he took Nottingham, and all the Danes in Mercia submitted to him.
Meanwhile another danger had arisen: Norsemen from Ireland had been settling for some time west of the Pennines, and Northumbria was threatened by Raegnald, a Norse leader from Dublin, who made himself king at York in 919. Edward built fortresses at Thelwall and Manchester, and in 920 he received Raegnald's submission, along with that of the Scots, the Strathclyde Welsh, and all the Northumbrians. Yet Norse kings reigned at York intermittently until 954.
Athelstan succeeded his father Edward in 924. He made terms with Raegnald's successor Sihtric and gave him his sister in marriage. When Sihtric died in 927, Athelstan took possession of Northumbria, thus becoming the first king to have direct rule of all England. He received the submission of the kings of Wales and Scotland and of the English ruler of Northumbria beyond the Tyne.
Athelstan was proud of his position, calling himself "king of all Britain" on some of his coins and using in his charters flamboyant rhetoric carrying the same message; he held great courts attended by dignitaries from all over England and by Welsh kings; he subjected the Welsh to tribute and quelled a revolt of the Britons of Cornwall. His sisters were married to continental princes—Charles the Simple, king of the Franks; Otto, son of Henry the Fowler; and Hugh, duke of the Franks. Among those brought up at his court were Louis, Charles's son; Alan of Brittany, Athelstan's godson; and Haakon, son of Harald Fairhair of Norway; they all returned to win their respective inheritances with his support. He was a generous donor to continental and English churches. But Athelstan is remembered chiefly as the victor at Brunanburh, against a combine of Olaf Guthfrithson, king of Dublin; Owain of Strathclyde; and Constantine, king of the Scots, whom Athelstan had defeated in 934. They invaded England in 937, and their defeat is celebrated by a poem in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle.
Immediately after Athelstan's death in 939 Olaf seized not only Northumbria but also the Five Boroughs. By 944 Athelstan's successor, his younger brother Edmund, had regained control, and in 945 Edmund conquered Strathclyde and gave it to Malcolm of Scotland. But Edmund's successor, Eadred, lost control of Northumbria for part of his reign to the Norse kings Erik Bloodax (son of Harald Fairhair) and Olaf Sihtricson. When Erik was killed in 954, Northumbria became a permanent part of the kingdom of England.
By becoming rulers of all England, the West Saxon kings had to administer regions with variant customs, governed under West Saxon, Mercian, or Danish law. In some parts of the area of Danish occupation, especially in northern England and the district of the Five Boroughs, the evidence of place-names, personal names, and dialect seems to indicate dense Danish settlement, but this has been seriously questioned; many "Danish" features are also found in Anglo-Saxon areas, and Danish names do not always prove Danish institutions. Moreover, the older Anglo-Saxon regions, such as Mercia, which often cut across both Danish and English areas, were politically more significant. Money, however, was calculated in marks and ores instead of shillings in Danish areas, and arable land was divided into plowlands and oxgangs instead of hides and virgates in the northern and northeastern parts of the Danelaw. Most important was the presence in some areas of a number of small landholders with a much greater degree of independence than their counterparts elsewhere; many ceorls had so suffered under the Danish ravages that they had bought a lord's support by sacrificing some of their independence. Excavations (1976–81) have shown 10th-century Jorvik (York), a Danish settlement, to have been a centre of international trade, economic specialization, and town planning; it was on its way to becoming by 1086 (in the Domesday survey) one of Europe's largest cities, numbering at least 2,000 households.
The kings did not try to eradicate the local peculiarities. King Edgar (reigned 959–975) expressly granted local autonomy to the Danes. But from Athelstan's time it was decreed that there was to be one coinage for all the king's dominion, and a measure of uniformity in administrative divisions was gradually achieved. Mercia became divided into shires on the pattern of those of Wessex. It is uncertain how early the smaller divisions of the shires were called "hundreds," but they now became universal (except in the northern Danelaw, where an area called a wapentake carried on its fiscal and jurisdictional functions). An ordinance of the mid-10th century laid down that the court in each hundred (called "hundred courts") must meet every four weeks to handle local legal matters, and Edgar enjoined that the shire courts must meet twice a year and the borough courts three times. This pattern of local government survived the Norman Conquest.

How can I write a simple report in LaTeX?
Put the following lines at the very top of your file, replacing "Your Name Here" and "Your Title Here" with the appropriate text.
The first line says what sort of document to make (a report). The next line says to set the margins to 1 inch all around. The third line says to double space.
The next lines give the information to put on the title page.
The sixth line says "Start the document", and the seventh means "Make a titlepage, and put it here", and the eighth "Make a table of contents, and put it here".
It isn't necessary to use all these levels, and you probably wouldn't want to for most reports.

Katatonia set to release concert film "Sanctitude"
For the fans of Katatonia, if you haven't rejoiced already, here is your permission to do so, due to what is coming out for you.
Press release ~ "Swedish master of melancholy, Katatonia, has announced a new concert film, Sanctitude, to be released in North America on Mar 31, 2015 via Kscope. Sanctitude will be released in four formats: Blu-ray DVD, CD/DVD package, Double LP, and Digital download."
"As a band we set out on uncharted waters, but while apprehensive about the journey ahead, our intentions couldn't have been more genuine to undertake this beautiful experience." ~ Anders Nystrom.
Sanctitude was filmed and recorded in the stunning, candle-lit setting of London's Union Chapel during Katatonia's May 2014 'Unplugged & Reworked' tour. An intimate acoustic evening performing tracks from the Dethroned & Uncrowned album alongside atmospheric classics from the band's entire career, stripped and reworked. The 80 minute set features 17 songs across the albums The Great Cold Distance, Viva Emptiness, Brave Murder Day, Last Fair Deal Gone Down, Dead End Kings and Dethroned & Uncrowned, including fan favorite, "Teargas." The show closes with the sublime "The One You Are Looking For Is Not Here" and a special guest appearance by Norwegian vocalist Silje Wergeland of Dutch legend, The Gathering. The band was also joined on guitar and vocals by The Pineapple Thief frontman and songwriter, Bruce Soord.

Katatonia was formed in 1991 by Anders Nyström and Jonas Renkse. Its debut album, Dance of December Souls, was released in 1993, gaining the band recognition for its eclectic brand of gothic doom/death metal and joining acts such as Paradise Lost and My Dying Bride as one of the genre's defining bands. On future albums, a newer, sleeker Katatonia sound came to the fore, starting with a streamlined and structured collection of melodic dark rock songs that became third album, Discouraged Ones, which is widely regarded as the main evolution point for modern day Katatonia.
In September 2013, Kscope released Dethroned & Uncrowned, a reworking of the band's 2012 epic Dead End Kings (originally released on Kscope's sister label Peaceville). Dethroned & Uncrowned allowed Katatonia the opportunity to explore a more progressive sound, creating new moods and textures while still staying truthful to the core of the original songs. Stay tuned for more information on Katatonia and Sanctitude, out next month[March] on Peaceville.
Sanctitude can be pre-ordered in physical formats via the Kscope web-store here. ~ End transmission.

Yesterday while searching in this forum I found a help page with advice on setting up a Galaxy S Tab 8.4 for best funtion with a Mavic Pro. Can't find it today, failed to tag the page. The information I fount was in the lower half of the page. would you know where to find it?
If you click the search icon, then again, it gives you a more detailed search option. Also, check your internet browser history.
Can an 'ignored' member view my posts? Thanks.
Your post are not visible to an ignored member.
Hello. Go to the section that best fits your topic and in the upper right side there is a new thread button. Use that to make a new thread for your topic.
I spoke with my insurance company (USAA) about liability. It's unclear exactly what's going to happen if someone gets hurt by my Mavic. Depends on the incident, where it happened, police reports, etc. Hard to pin this one down to one answer.
Has anyone investigated recreational drone insurance?
Try a search on the site. It has been discussed before. I am an AMA member. Membership comes with insurance... I assume you are talking liability?
Suggest adding "RTG" (Relative To Ground) to the acronym list. Found in posts referring to waypoint altitude setting.
Thanks for the suggestion. I have added it to the list.
Hi there how can i post a new message here?
Go to the area you want to post in and click the "Post New Thread" button in the upper right corner. If you are replying to an existing thread just type you message at the bottom of the thread and click the "Reply" button.
As they are the same version number, I wondered what the difference is?
Interesting. I get the new link as they change the versions. I am not sure what would be different.
I got the coordinates from Litchi and it seemed very precise. I checked on Google Earth. The coordinates of the Home and landing position were exactly at the dstance shown by Litchi. I was confident I could find, but unsuccesfull.
I tried to download data from RC or from my Iphone, but in DJI Assistant I got the message "failed to transfer".
I have done the same with one of mine. It was almost 2000' away in a thick woods. I trekked in with my remote on and it picked up the signal and I found it eventually. Go back and expand your search area.
Last Saturday my Mavic landed far about 300 m from the Home. Unfortunately it was in the woods, in a difficult area to walk in: steep slope, harsh. But I got the coordinates and the exact distance from home.
Next day I was with a GPS looking in that area with a precision of few meters, but the quad was not there.
For sure nobody was there before me: such an hard place to reach.
Hi, I have been enjoying the forums for over a year. I would like to know how to block members who repeatedly treat others with disrespect.
Hello, You may "ignore" members by going to the profile of the member you want to block and click the "ignore" button. You will never see another post from them anywhere on the forum. Hope that helps.
that may have flown into restricted space in Dublin Ireland.
Hello, It looks like you found the lost section of the forum. Thank you for taking the time to do this. Please check to see if it has a FAA number on it. Mabey in the battery bay.
Thanks for a great forum. FYI, my browser says the login page (and popup screen) are not secure. Is this correct?
I am having problems to log in to mavic forum. I didn't logged out but is showing the message in the app that says that patatalk adding was not imported.
Could you please let me know what to do? It is happening in all my 3 devices.
It is most likely an app issue again. I will look into it. Thanks for the heads up.
Hey! It's Scott Spezzano from Webster / ROC. Getting my Mavic Pro Tomorrow and I'm out of my mind! We need to network. It's great to see my admin. live so close!

I want to make 360 image for PC games.So I hooked UGameEngine::Tick and RenderViewFamily_RenderThread.When UGameEngine::Tick was called,I called the origin function 6 times(0 front,1 right,2 back,3 left,4 up,5 down) to add 6 graph tasks.After that I can capture 6 textures in RenderViewFamily_RenderThread.With a capture fps,the frames like that: n n n 0 1 2 3 4 5 n n n 0 1 2 3 4 5 n n n...... But I found a problem that the captured 6 textures will mix some other color of normal texture.It seems that blending had happened between these textures,especially the 0th texture. How can I get clear textures without any mixed color?
Why my frame rate drop when I look at nothing?

Cabell Huntington Hospital's MOMS Program Focuses on Family Recovery
Members of the Highmark West Virginia Foundation presented a check for $75,000 to the MOMS program at the Hoops Family Children's Hospital at Cabell Huntington Hospital. From left are: Jim Fawcett, president of Highmark West Virginia; Lisa Marsh, clinical sales consultant for Highmark West Virginia; Sarah Setran, PsyD, integrated and behavioral health addiction psychologist and MOMS program developer; Melanie Akers, director of the Hoops Family Children's Hospital; Jessica Auffant, RN, MSN, FNP-C, coordinator of the MOMS program; Cathy McAlister, manager of corporate communications at Highmark West Virginia and Kevin Fowler, president and CEO of Cabell Huntington Hospital.
Healing from addiction takes a network of treatment and resources that focuses on the whole family. The Hoops Family Children's Hospital at Cabell Huntington Hospital has created a program that begins once a mother gives birth and provides comprehensive addiction treatment services that promotes the bonding between mother and baby.
The MOMS (Maternal Opioid Medication Support) program was developed to provide addiction treatment services to postpartum women, not currently in a treatment program, while their babies are recovering from neonatal abstinence syndrome (a group of problems that occur in newborns exposed to addictive drugs) in the Neonatal Therapy Unit (NTU).
The goal is to provide medication stabilization, psychological and medical treatment, education and training that will create a solid foundation for a healthy, productive life-style that will benefit the mother and the whole family. This education will include a team of experts who will address the specific needs of each mother and cover everything from counseling to occupational rehabilitation with a goal to end the cycle of addiction.
"With the increase in numbers of women with drug addiction we are seeing an increase in neonatal drug exposure," said Sarah Setran, PsyD, integrated and behavioral health addiction psychologist and MOMS program developer. "It is important for a mother and baby to bond, so keeping a mother close to her baby and providing resources to help her as her baby recovers are very important."
According to Dr. Setran, women make up a significant portion of the addiction population. In addition to the increasing numbers, women:
are more likely to suffer from chronic addiction than men;
become addicted at a faster rate than men; and
are three times more likely to die from an overdose than men.
"One more thing we know is that women are less likely to receive treatment," she said. "We now know that to decrease these numbers and to promote recovery for the family, the treatment of the moms and babies need to be linked together."
Women will receive 100 days of treatment aimed at bridging care to a long-term community substance abuse treatment program that provides comprehensive services. The patients and the referring facility will remain connected to ensure that the transition of care continues.
"Access to treatment will also be offered to fathers who are willing to participate by connecting them with the appropriate resources," said Dr. Setran, "It is more difficult for a patient in recovery to return to an environment where substance abuse continues to take place. We want these women to fully recover and by including the father in the recovery process, there is a higher rate of success."
The MOMS program is funded through grants and donations. The Highmark Foundation, a private, charitable organization dedicated to public health and human service initiatives, recently awarded a $75,000 grant to support the program.
"We are pleased to support this first-of-its-kind program in the region to provide integrated care for women with substance abuse disorders and their prenatally exposed babies," said Highmark Foundation President Yvonne Cook. "Through this grant, we are hopeful that the MOMS program will lead to better health outcomes for mothers and their babies as well as increase the chances of long-term rehabilitation success."
"We are grateful for the support we have received throughout the community to bring this program to life," said Melanie Akers, RN, director of the Hoops Family Children's Hospital. "There has been a great deal of research and development put into this process and we are confident that we will be able to change lives and provide the care needed for successful recovery."
