Yesterday we spent the day with the Ashleigh's Patience Project Documentary Team. We did interviews throughout Oklahoma with Ashleigh's roommates and her Crisis Councilor. I love this crazy bunch of people with all my heart. Those willing to participate and those working so hard to tell Ashleigh's story. I want to share 2 of the things that happened yesterday.
First, it was very hard during one part because we went back to the house were Ashleigh was shot. I was not there tha...t day but if seen the descriptions and photos of the crime seen. Where Ashleigh and Joshua Mahaffey were. I also remember what that crime seen looked like 3 days later when we went to go pick up Ashleigh's truck. They closed off the house because hazmat need to come in to clean it. Heather and Jim didn't want me to see that but.......well if you know me, you know I don't listen well once I get something in my head. I defied the police tape and went in to see. I HAD TOO SEE. I can't explain it any better than that.....anyway.......when taking the Documentary Team thru the house I found myself in that bathroom explaining positions and I could still envision the blood on the floors even though all of that had been replaced. But it was so surreal because I did it like and presented it like it was just facts. When Jim and I got in the car to move to the next location he was like "how did you do that? I'm proud of you. You are one strong woman." And my response to him was, "only God helped me just like that day in the hospital. Plus Ashleigh did not die there. Ashleigh denied Joshua Mahaffey with all her strength not to die there with him. I am proud of her on that level as her mother. Josh died there not her and I'm glad he is dead." For me that bathroom is a symbol of Ashleigh's strength to fight even with the tragic outcome later. At that moment she was glorious in her battle even though it was the most terrifying of her life. That is how I was able to do that yesterday.
Second, we hit a bad place for a location there in Ardmore and needed a new you. Everyone was trying to come up with ideas. It looked bad there for a minute. Then, I think it was Crystal, thought maybe we could find a bookstore that would have an area private that we could use. She put in bookstores on her phone and called the first one. They graciously said yes. The place is called Ashley's Bookstore, there in Ardmore, OK. I immediately looked up and said thank you God and Ashleigh. For me it was a sign. A beautiful sign that brought joy to my heart. The owner is an incredible lady and I can't thank her enough for opening her business in such a way. It was my blessing for the day and I just wanted to share.


Protein processors can have trouble meeting production demands, if they're working with out-of-date manufacturing spaces and equipment.

While many protein processors need to speed up their operations, there are many stumbling blocks thwarting their efforts. For example, the processing equipment is maxed out, and not a single machine on the line communicates with another, making any kind of line synchronization or performance improvement next to impossible. In fact, some older machines are difficult to keep clean and downright dangerous. Plus, the manufacturing space may be cramped with "head-knockers," is drafty and/or has poor drainage and humidity control. During washdowns, the monsoons set in and reduce visibility to near zero, with condensation everywhere.
Although this picture may be a bit exaggerated, you probably face some of these issues yourself, unless you're lucky enough to have just taken the reins of a brand-new greenfield facility. Thankfully, solutions are available, if you can't leave your building any time soon. Of course, you must be prepared to make some investments in your equipment, facility and employee training. Just look at these expenditures as an investment in throughput, worker safety and food safety.
Kyle Lawrence, Stellar process project manager, recalls one poultry processor whose product demand was growing by leaps and bounds. The processor had grown out of its one facility that was used for slaughtering, processing, refrigerating, packaging and sending off raw product to a co-packer for further processing. To get more control over its cooked products (tenders and nuggets), the processor wanted to do further processing, but where?
First, the processor purchased land a mile down the road from its existing facility. Then, it contracted Stellar to design and build a new facility to do the further processing its co-packer was handling. According to Lawrence, the Stellar team worked with the processor to plan the rooms and characterize the flow of people within the plant. It also looked at the product flow: how and where raw product would be coming in, where it would be stored, the frequency of product movement from storage to processing, the processing steps and the storage of cooked/finished goods. The airflows were planned, refrigeration system designed and a right-sized HVAC system engineered to keep condensation from occurring. All the automated equipment purchased for the site has a sanitary design and lock-outs/tag-outs for maintenance and cleaning, minimizing employee risks.
The secondary packaging and palletizing are heavily automated with robotics so workers don't continually have to lift 40- to 50-lb. cases of product. The erection of boxes for finished goods is handled automatically, with the boxes sent to any of nine lines. Completed cases on each line are sent to the palletizing area, where they are sealed, labeled and stacked on pallets.
The entire facility was designed with 3-D tools, allowing the Stellar team and the processor to "walk through" the plant to get a feel for how it would function with people and operating equipment inside. The software tools also revealed any "clashes" of construction design, for example, an air duct placed so high it would "penetrate" an I-beam.
"Revit and Navisworks are two programs we use to produce building information models [BIMs], or 3-D representations of a facility," says Tyler Cundiff, Gray Construction director of business development—food and beverage. "Our engineers, architects, project managers and subcontractors use the BIM model to conduct clash detections and evaluate sanitary noncompliances in a space before construction begins. We also use virtual reality technology that provides a fully immersed plant experience and walkthrough, which has proven to be very useful to plant engineers and maintainers in particular." By being able to explore and review the facility during the design phase, these individuals can experience small details and nuances they may overlook when reviewing 2-D drawings or even a 3-D model.
For new facility designs, it's all about continuously improving best practices. "Best practices are implemented into our quality management programs to enhance overall project quality, 'clean design' and ensure food safety awareness," explains Cundiff.
Physical separation between raw and cooked materials.
In addition to designing for food safety, an A&E/C firm should have a dedicated auditing system for sanitation safety and the necessary checks for construction material handling, process systems piping and systems commissioning. Cundiff's firm gives each project subcontractor a copy of "Gray's Contractor Guidebook for Food Plant Construction" to help ensure food safety and sanitary practices are followed.
"As a design-build engineering firm specializing in food processing and distribution facilities, we work with owners and equipment manufacturers to isolate the red-line areas from other building functions and provide security systems to prevent unauthorized personnel access," says Jack Michler, ESI Group USA Midwest regional manager. "We also promote installing mechanical piping in interstitial spaces to avoid the daily cleaning of the piping systems and allow routine maintenance without disrupting process operations." Clean-in-place equipment is critical, and for mobile processing equipment, clean-out-of-place washdown rooms should be provided.
In addition, all construction materials and finishes in a process must be cleanable, noncorrosive, nontoxic, nonabsorbent and able to withstand thermal shock during the cleaning cycles, adds Michler. Plus, adequate drainage, hygienic ventilation systems and accessibility provisions should be designed to eliminate any potential for moisture buildup that could harbor pathogens.
Protein processing plants are notoriously dangerous places to work; they're often cold, damp and slippery. "Obviously, any moving equipment must be guarded against personnel accessibility," says ESI Group's Michler. Therefore, guarded traffic aisles and security access measures need to be provided to prevent employee access to fork truck or material handling equipment and eliminate access to process areas by non-authorized personnel. In addition, all electrical equipment in washdown areas must meet NEMA ingress standards. And, switchboards, panelboards and motor control centers should be located in secure non-washdown rooms, says Michler.
Since production line freezers use conventional refrigerants or cryogenic gases, processors must determine which type of freezer will work best with their application. For example, cryogenic-based tunnel freezers typically are smaller and simpler in design than their spiral counterparts.
Air Products and Chemicals sells and leases a wide variety of liquid nitrogen-powered cooling and freezing equipment. "Because liquid nitrogen is so cold [-320°F] and can carry away up to 140 BTU/lb., continuous freezers powered by liquid nitrogen are always the smallest option for a given throughput," explains Chris Johnson, marketing manager, Food-Americas at Air Products.
A smaller piece of equipment means fewer surfaces and less surface area to clean.
A smaller piece of equipment is typically easier to clean due to fewer and smaller food contact surfaces, as well as easier-to-reach surfaces.
Smaller equipment allows swabbing and testing to be more thorough.
In addition to cryogenic freezing and chilling systems, Linde offers food-contact gases for modified atmosphere packaging systems. These systems can typically extend the shelf life of chilled red meat by a factor of two compared to packaging in air, says DiMaggio. For raw fish, it is typically a factor of two or three and, for light poultry, a factor of three to four.
It's important to note that cryogenic processing equipment must be vented to outside air; automated systems typically include integral hoods to vent gases. Plus, inline freezers may include safety plenums at entry and exit points. Maintaining a pressure balance inside the freezer during operation minimizes the escape of cryogenic gases into the work environment and maximizes cryogenic efficiency, adds DiMaggio.
Today's processing equipment is becoming more automated, faster, safer to operate, hygienically designed for food safety and more connected. Daniel Plante, JBT Corporation director of sales and marketing—North America, points out some refinements. "Automation inherently limits human interaction, therefore increasing safety within the plant. JBT believes in hygiene by design, with features such as sloping surfaces, open-channel support structures, limiting [the use of] capped rails and reducing niches." For instance, the GYRoCOMPACT self-stacking belt spiral freezer has an architecture that helps eliminate nearly 90 percent of the support structures in a typical structurally supported system, making the oven easier to clean.
Processing equipment such as fryers, cookers and slicers can present a number of potential risks to employees and property. Consequently, suppliers are designing equipment to meet new safety criteria. For example, JBT has begun using voltage separation technology for control panels, isolating the high-voltage components from the low-voltage devices, says Plante. In addition, the new JBT model TFF-V fryer is equipped with emission-suppression technology, minimizing oil residue in the exhaust system, which can often be the cause of roof fires.
The Lyco Manufacturing Clean-Flow continuous flow rotary drum water blancher/cooker/cooler can work in one- or two-zone configurations, and has built-in CIP to simplify cleaning. "It can blanch, cook or cool in one zone, cool in a second zone or be used as a standalone cooler in a separate machine, and the continuous flow capability ensures a uniform cook/chill experience for the product," says Gary Corzett, vice president, sales & marketing. "CIP capability comes with every Lyco product. The CIP cycle is completed in minutes with almost no manual involvement, and our CIP systems have strategically located spray nozzles and spray balls to cover 100 percent of the targeted areas for proper, effective CIP. Slide-out chutes and in-feed/discharge components [are available] for full access and visibility on all machinery." The Clean-Flow unit includes two emergency stop switches as well as safety pull cables, two-hand safety switches for the covers and two-hand jog modes for the rotating devices needed during CIP cycles.
Access for maintenance and inspection also is critical for plant safety and is a top priority in any JBT design updates, according to Plante. For example, the company has moved the main fan motors in its Jet Stream and GYRoCOMPACT ovens to the outside of the main enclosure. In addition, the supplier now has standard 40-in. line widths to ensure employees can safely reach from one side to the center of the belt. "JBT keeps OSHA regulations in mind when designing safety components on all our equipment," says Plante. "Our customers are typically governed by the USDA, and we consistently listen to their feedback. Key design changes are initiated based on that feedback and are made to ensure our customers' equipment is ideal in the minds of the USDA." The company also provides some equipment with 3-A dairy standards, if needed.
GEA automation systems are based around four modules that can be extended in terms of functionality, connected machines and client connections. The four modules are: Link Logic (linking machines together), Process Manager (a storage platform for process data), Production Commander (production automation) and Plant Controller (advanced functionality and enterprise resource planning [ERP] interfacing).
"When each machine in a line operates independently from the others, process-critical operations, such as initiating startup and getting machines up to the operating temperatures, take a lot of time and manpower," says Strolenberg. Walking from machine to machine to load programs is also a potential source of errors. And, products can be wasted if one machine in line stops functioning, while other upstream machines continue operating. Therefore, it is absolutely essential to intelligently link machines together.
How is the return on investment (ROI) on an automation solution quantified? "Because automation brings many 'soft' improvements, it's a challenge to put an exact figure on the potential savings," replies Strolenberg. For example, the reduction in a labor-intensive task such as data collection does not just comprise the hours required to collect data; it also entails the time required to analyze it, generate reports and make the information available. These hours are rarely itemized in a spreadsheet column. Another example is an automation system that significantly reduces the likelihood of errors including wrong labels, wrong ingredients and so on. How do you quantify the savings of avoiding these mistakes?
Another intangible benefit of automation is the strengthening of customer relationships, due to factors ranging from more transparency into your operations to faster response times and better service, says GEA's Strolenberg.
As a result, performance improvements can happen at the line level through peer-to-peer communications and decision-making. "Today's automation can already do these things, but it will become simpler and more versatile as intelligent nodes for IoT are integrated into the relevant places in equipment," concludes Strolenberg.

WhatsApp begins to share info with Facebook, screenshots confirm fears
February 2, 2016 by VPNCRITIC
When Facebook acquired text messaging app WhatsApp back in February 2014, it promised the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that it would honor the privacy rights of WhatsApp. The text messaging app made its popularity on respecting the privacy of its users, and that became a concern for WhatsApp and its users around the time of the acquisition. Facebook promised it would respect the privacy of WhatsApp and its users, but it seems as though that respect for privacy promise is soon to end.
That's the latest with new screenshots from Javier Santos, who shared some screenshots from an upcoming WhatsApp update twelve days ago showing that the new messaging update encourages info sharing with Facebook. The new update, given update number 2.12.413, shows an option to "share my WhatsApp account information with Facebook to improve my Facebook experiences." The account settings allows you to "share my account info."
Unfortunately, the sharing info option must remain enabled or you'll head down an irreversible path. When you try to disable account sharing, you'll see the following popup message: "Are you sure you want to stop sharing? If you continue, you won't be able to change this in the future." In other words, you either share forever or, if you have some reservations, not enable this feature at all.
The claim for sharing your WhatsApp information is not to improve WhatsApp, but to "improve your Facebook experiences," which is a vague statement by default. How will enabling this option improve my Facebook experience? What types of data will be shared with Facebook and how will these data help my Facebook encounter. There is an end-to-end encryption option that can also be selected, however, which may give some users optimism about the WhatsApp/Facebook sharing option.
Still, the screenshots show the agenda behind why WhatsApp just eliminated the $1 user fee – because the company would start sharing Facebook data and wanted to give users a free incentive in return for their user data. At the same time, however, the removal of the $1 user fee isn't a good incentive to willingly give up one's data to a company (Facebook or WhatsApp) that won't honor user privacy. Apparently, that promise about honoring user privacy is short-lived. Even if the option can be enabled or left alone, there's no way to know for sure if WhatsApp and Facebook are living by the privacy promise.

The History of UTL
On October 25, 2018 October 18, 2019 By winsorpanelIn Front Page, Sports
By, Mikayla C. '19
Under the Lights (UTL) is one of the Winsor community's favorite traditions. Spirit Week is a perfect precursor to our homecoming games, as it gets students hyped up for the many games on Friday night. This past week, we saw costumes that ranged from Regina George's Mom to a biomedical engineer. Examples of past Spirit Week themes are "Things that Start with W day," "Villian Day," and "Hawaiian Day." The afternoon pep rally encourages a little competition when Upper School classes contend for the coveted title of the best cheer. These cheers can get extremely competitive, but Haley Kwoun "enjoys watching all the grades get together and bond over cheer-making." Unlike the typical high school homecoming, both alumni and students equally participate in the night's festivities. But how did this tradition of UTL come to be?
The first UTL was in the fall of 1994, and thus, today is the 25th UTL! According to the Winsor archives, UTL initially started as a celebration of the installation of the lights on the school fields. Up until the installation, Winsor had not been able to host games after dusk. At the first UTL, students enjoyed games and ate some food. One aspect that we don't have today, however, was a small craft market that was hosted in the gym.
The excitement about UTL today is still similar to the past. PE teacher Mrs. G. first came to UTL as a visiting coach for Thayer. She remembers how "the Thayer teams would always ask [her] 'if they could have something like the Winsor teams' …The energy that has always surrounded UTL has been something that [she] will always cherish."
Today, students celebrate our fall athletic teams and school spirit at UTL. We've started a t-shirt design competition, and we now have a dance party after the pep rally. Just last year, we introduced our varsity volleyball team to the fall athletic program. I wonder what new traditions will be added to the UTL celebration in the next 25 years… Will we have cheerleaders? A school band? Who knows?! In the meantime, enjoy the games tonight! Go Winsor!

Sykes-Picot Agreement
Alternative Title: Asia Minor Agreement
Sykes-Picot Agreement, also called Asia Minor Agreement, (May 1916), secret convention made during World War I between Great Britain and France, with the assent of imperial Russia, for the dismemberment of the Ottoman Empire. The agreement led to the division of Turkish-held Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, and Palestine into various French- and British-administered areas. Negotiations were begun in November 1915, and the final agreement took its name from the chief negotiators from Britain and France, Sir Mark Sykes and François Georges-Picot. Sergey Dimitriyevich Sazonov was also present to represent Russia, the third member of the Triple Entente.
Background and provisions
In the midst of World War I the question arose of what would happen to the Ottoman territories if the war led to the disintegration of "the sick man of Europe." The Triple Entente moved to secure their respective interests in the region. They had agreed in the March 1915 Constantinople Agreement to give Russia Constantinople (Istanbul) and areas around it, which would provide access to the Mediterranean Sea.France, meanwhile, had a number of economic investments and strategic relationships in Syria, especially in the area of Aleppo, while Britain wanted secure access to India through the Suez Canal and the Persian Gulf. It was out of a need to coordinate British and French interests in these regions that the Sykes-Picot Agreement was born.
Its provisions were as follows: (1) Russia should acquire the Armenian provinces of Erzurum, Trebizond (Trabzon), Van, and Bitlis, with some Kurdish territory to the southeast; (2) France should acquire Lebanon and the Syrian littoral, Adana, Cilicia, and the hinterland adjacent to Russia's share, that hinterland including Aintab, Urfa, Mardin, Diyarbakır, and Mosul; (3) Great Britain should acquire southern Mesopotamia, including Baghdad, and also the Mediterranean ports of Haifa and ʿAkko (Acre); (4) between the French and the British acquisitions there should be a confederation of Arab states or a single independent Arab state, divided into French and British spheres of influence; (5) Alexandretta (İskenderun) should be a free port; and (6) Palestine, because of the holy places, should be under an international regime.
Impact and legacy
The pact excited the ambitions of Italy, to whom it was communicated in August 1916, after the Italian declaration of war against Germany, with the result that it had to be supplemented, in April 1917, by the Agreement of Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne, whereby Great Britain and France promised southern and southwestern Anatolia to Italy. The defection of Russia from the war canceled the Russian aspect of the Sykes-Picot Agreement, and the Turkish Nationalists' victories after the military collapse of the Ottoman Empire led to the gradual abandonment of any Italian projects for Anatolia.
The Arabs, however, who had learned of the Sykes-Picot Agreement through the publication of it, together with other secret treaties of imperial Russia, by the Soviet Russian government late in 1917, were scandalized by it. This secret arrangement conflicted in the first place with pledges already given by the British to the Hashemite dynast Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī, sharif of Mecca, during the Ḥusayn-McMahon Correspondence (1915–16). Based on the understanding that the Arabs would eventually receive independence, Ḥusayn had brought the Arabs of the Hejaz into revolt against the Turks in June 1916.
Despite the Sykes-Picot Agreement, the British still appeared to support Arab self-determination at first, helping Ḥusayn's son Fayṣal and his forces press into Syria in 1918 and establish a government in Damascus. In April 1920, however, the Allied powers agreed to divide governance of the region into separate Class "A" mandates at the Conference of San Remo, along lines similar to those agreed upon under the Sykes-Picot Agreement. The borders of these mandates split up Arab lands and ultimately led to the modern borders of Iraq, Israel and the Palestinian territories, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria.
Even though the borders of the mandates were not determined until several years after the Sykes-Picot Agreement, the fact that the deal set the framework for these borders stoked lingering resentment well into the 21st century. Pan-Arabists opposed splitting up the mostly Arab-populated territories into separate countries, which they considered to be little more than imperialist impositions. Moreover, the borders split up other contiguous populations, like the Kurds and the Druze, and left them as minority populations in several countries, depriving their communities of self-determination altogether. Moments of political turmoil were often met with declarations of "the end of Sykes-Picot," such as the establishment of the Kurdistan Regional Government in Iraq in 1992 or the rise of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in 2014. Meanwhile, the Sykes-Picot Agreement is often criticized together with the Ḥusayn-McMahon Correspondence and the Balfour Declaration as contradictory promises made by Britain to France, the Arabs, and the Zionist movement.

If you have plans to re-décor your home with old-fashioned and rustic look, then these 10 DIY home décor wood projects will inspire you. There is no need of spending huge cash because most of these projects only require unused woods and simple equipment. Now, let's get crafting!
Have you ever found yourself needing more shelves? Then, you can have them with cheap price. What you need to do is just some woods and wood paint. These shelves are called as Pallet Shelves because they are made of wood. You will only need about three hours per shelf to make them. If you want a rustic look, then leave it be and don't paint it. However, if you want to match the shelves with the atmosphere of your room, you are welcome to paint them on.
Rustic looks sometimes will give a country-like atmosphere if you live in a town. If you want to decorate your room with some rustic looks, you can begin it with decorating your photograph's frames. You can replace the original frames with wooden frames to make them look different and giving the room a rustic look. Even, you can add small satin ribbons to make them prettier. This is a great idea for you who love to hang pictures or photos on the walls.
If you ever own an old dresser or cabinet that you can reuse it, you may want to consider to do a makeover on it. Take out the drawers and add some rustic wooden planks. This is a great idea to reuse old or broken dressers and cabinets, so that you don't have to afford the new ones. You need to attach the wood pieces altogether and fix them, so that they will give you an easy access to the cabinet's contents. Redone Rustic Cabinet is quite simple to make and the result will be a very handful cabinet. Source.
This is a great idea for those who are very fond of having coffee or collecting artistic or antique mugs. Bring a few pieces of wood and some small coat hooks. Assemble them together with some nails and now, you have your own Pallet Coffee Cup Holder. Don't forget to add some decorations and stain it with any color you want. However, if you prefer to have a rustic look of your coffee cup holder, then you may want to stain it with original wooden color.
For any of you who love to spend time in front of a mirror, consider to have it beautified. This is a simple project that you can do on your own. You just need some wooden branch, then cut them into slices. Glue them together in a circle or in your mirror's pattern. This decoration will totally give a change in your room as well as adding a rustic look to your mirror. Now, you probably will be spending more time in front of your mirror because of its attractiveness.


Motocaddy's handset-controlled electric trolley is packed full of innovative features to make navigation easier.
This is partly achieved with the responsive dual-pressure control system, allowing users to alter how much the trolley turns by varying the pressure applied to the buttons on the handset.
Speed going forwards and backwards can be easily altered in the same way, and there's a pause and resume feature too.
A 50-metre cut-out function also stops the trolley going out of range, plus a hibernation setting brings it to a halt if the remote hasn't been touched for more than 45 seconds.
The S7 also incorporates a special mechanism that enables each of the two motors to help compensate for lateral slopes and maintain stability, while the anti-tip wheel and fully rotating front wheel contribute to its smooth running no matter how challenging the terrain becomes.
The rechargeable remote control Lithium handset, which can be recharged mid round courtesy of a USB port, fits neatly into an integrated holder on the underside of a soft-touch ergonomic handle.
Motocaddy's Quikfold mechanism makes the S7 Remote simple to assemble, and when it's up, it's a stylish-looking model, more so with the streamlined battery tray to accommodate the Lithium battery and the distinctive branding on the frame in a Graphite colourway.
Whilst Motocaddy's innovation over the years has delivered great success across its entire range, its designers have always listened to its customer base to bring about continuous improvements.
In the case of the S7, a number of useful functions combine to make it extremely easy to navigate. In many ways, golfers would prefer not to be talking about their trolley post round, the sign of an effective product – and this is what the S7 is, just a silent companion.
It's easy to operate and while a certain amount of time is required to get to grips with the technology, it quickly becomes second nature. Thereafter, users will only find their playing experience enhanced.


Heat oven to 500°F. Line 15x10x1-inch pan with foil; spray foil with cooking spray.
In resealable 1-gallon food-storage plastic bag, mix all ingredients except shrimp and lime. Add shrimp; seal bag and shake to coat with sugar mixture. Arrange shrimp with sugar mixture in single layer in pan.
Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until sugar is caramelized. Remove from oven. Using pancake turner, turn shrimp; squeeze juice from lime over shrimp. Place on serving platter; serve immediately.
To keep your guests from getting sticky fingers, serve these shrimp with toothpicks.

special attributes from the decorating ClassorClass,
specially the NameStr, that should be the ClassStr
without the TypeStr in the end.

La Société des missionnaires de Saint Joseph [MHM] (Societas Missionarium Sancti Josephi) plus connue sous le nom de Missionnaires de Mill Hill a été fondée à Londres en 1866 par Herbert Vaughan qui deviendra archevêque du diocèse de Westminster.

À cette époque, et même s'ils avaient retrouvé leur liberté de culte, les catholiques restaient vaguement suspects d'allégeance étrangère (de par leur attachement au pape) et impopulaires dans l'Angleterre victorienne. La hiérarchie catholique avait été reconstituée depuis peu. Le Père Vaughan fonda le collège pour les Missions Étrangères à Halcombe House, Mill Hill, le  (solennité de Saint Joseph). Leur abréviation est mhm.

Historique
La société est fondée par Henry Vaughan pour évangéliser les peuples des colonies anglaises d'Afrique. C'est la première mission fondée de la sorte en Grande-Bretagne. Les premiers missionnaires sont originaires d'Angleterre et d'Irlande, des Pays-Bas, ainsi que d'Autriche et du Tyrol du Sud.

Elle est active dans l'actuel Ouganda depuis 1895 (vicariat apostolique du Haut-Nil) et au Kenya depuis 1903, où par exemple les évêques du diocèse de Ngong appartenaient jusqu'à récemment à la congrégation. Elle fonde des missions avec des écoles, des dispensaires, des orphelinats et des séminaires. Lorsque le Cameroun a été partagé en 1922 entre la France et le Royaume-Uni, les Spiritains se chargent de la partie française et les missionnaires de Mill Hill de l'autre.

La plupart de ces missions africaines sont aujourd'hui arrivées à maturité et, désormais indépendantes de la congrégation, sont devenues des Églises particulières ou locales. L'Afrique forme une région au sein de la congrégation depuis 2008.

Elle s'implante aux États-Unis à Baltimore pour la promotion des anciens esclaves noirs à la fin du . Aujourd'hui, elle y est impliquée dans le service paroissial à Saint-Louis, Los Angeles et New York.

En Asie, la congrégation travaille depuis la fin du  dans l'accompagnement des communautés rurales dans les anciennes Indes britanniques et néerlandaises. Elle y est toujours active.

Elle est installée en Nouvelle-Zélande depuis 1895 où elle travaille auprès des Maoris.

Après avoir travaillé à partir des années 1970 en Amérique latine, la congrégation a laissé ses œuvres à l'Église locale et n'est plus présente que par trois missionnaires.

Le changement de mentalité dû au bouleversement des mœurs caractéristiques des années 1970, allié à une natalité européenne en décroissance et une impulsion différente donnée à l'idée de  par le concile Vatican II ont entraîné une baisse notable des vocations européennes, posant sérieusement la question de l'avenir de la congrégation, même si des vocations leur viennent d'Inde et d'Afrique.

Aujourd'hui
Cette congrégation, en diminution, comptait en 2010: 472 membres (dont 372 prêtres) en Europe, en Afrique et en Asie dans une trentaine de communautés. Elle a culminé en 1959 avec 1136 membres. Les communautés européennes ferment leurs institutions et la plupart de leurs membres ont plus de 70 ans.

Ainsi aux Pays-Bas, où la maison principale est à Oosterbeek, les missionnaires de Mill Hill sont en train de disparaître: le nombre de ses membres est passé de 568 en 1977 à 137 en 2013 (dont 110 de plus de 70 ans et aucun de moins de 55 ans) avec aucune ordination depuis plus d'une vingtaine d'années. Le collège Saint-Joseph qui a formé des générations de missionnaires au départ de Londres a cessé d'être un séminaire de missionnaires dans les années 1970 et a définitivement fermé ses portes en 2006.

Quatre missionnaires travaillent depuis 1988 dans le sultanat de Bruneï. La congrégation est présente en Afrique centrale, en Inde et aux Philippines. Elle commence un travail rural en Chine.

Le chapitre général de  s'est tenu, pour la première fois dans l'histoire de la congrégation, à Nairobi au Kenya. Un des points majeurs abordés par le chapitre est la diminution préoccupante du nombre de ses membres (dont la moitié est à la retraite) et dont l'âge moyen est de 65 à 70 ans.

Le précédent supérieur général de la congrégation élu en 2005 pour cinq ans était le Père Anthony Chantry (Anglais) qui succédait à un Français (le P. Hetsen). Reconduit en 2010, il a été remplacé en   par le P. Michael Corcoran, (Irlandais). Ce dernier est assisté d'un vicaire général et de deux consulteurs.

Les missionnaires s'appuient sur la prière des carmélites. Des laïcs sont engagés également dans l'action des missionnaires de Mill Hill.

Sept missionnaires sont ordonnés en 2013: trois sont originaires d'Inde, deux du Cameroun, un du Kenya et un des Philippines. En 2012, ils étaient quatre : deux d'Inde et deux du Cameroun.

 Le P. Jan Groenewegen, Hollandais, assassiné en 1964 dans le diocèse de Basankusu au Congo-Kinshasa
 Le P. John Anthony Kaiser (1932-2000), citoyen américain, critique envers le régime du président Daniel Moi et à la politique de purification ethnique de la vallée du Rift, est assassiné le  à Morendat.

Photo mystery solved!
Pix found Friday

Twelve photos discovered on the ground have found their owner. (Courtesy of Wilmington Town Manager's Office)
WILMINGTON — Billerica resident Catherine Donnelly didn't expect to come across a photo from her aunt's wedding day in the 1950s while scrolling through her cell phone.
"I'm looking, and I'm going, 'That's my aunt!,'" she said in a phone interview Tuesday.
Twelve black and white photos found on Main Street have been returned to their rightful owner, thanks to community members who spread the word.
Town employees discovered the photos Friday and immediately began looking for their owner.
The Town Manager's Office shared one of the photos on Twitter around 9 a.m.
Donnelly can't remember if she saw the photo on social media or in the news. But when she did, she instantly recognized her aunt, posing in a wedding dress with her husband outside St. Anthony Parish in Woburn.
Donnelly retrieved the photos Monday around 1 p.m. from Town Manager Jeffrey Hull. She's been reminiscing ever since.
"Most people in the pictures, they're already gone," she said. She spotted her father, grandparents and brother in the photos, all of whom have since passed.
Donnelly doesn't know how the photos ended up on the ground downtown. She said her aunt, Vivian O'Mahony, moved from her residence on Main Street about two months ago. O'Mahony is 87 years old.
"I'm going to make up a little album and bring them over to my aunt," Donnelly said.
O'Mahony currently lives with her sister at CareOne in Wilmington. She has dementia, but Donnelly hopes she will recognize the photos, and happily remember her wedding day.

Worms and Baynton-Williams state in,'British Map Engravers' that Hall was almost certainly the first engraver to use the new harder steel plates for map work, using plates manufactured by the Jacob Perkins process as early as 1821. He died at the age of forty two and his widow Selina Hall, continued the business, her practice of signing her engravings simply as,'S.Hall' has caused much confusion among bibliographers. The business eventually passed to Sidney and Selina's nephew Edward Weller, who became a prolific map maker in his own right.

Q: JNotify vs Polling I am working with Java 6 and can not use Watch Service. I am looking for an alternative to polling. So how is JNotify different from polling? Or does JNotify uses polling?

A: JNotify is using the native OS support for file system notifications.
on Linux it's using INotify (which is the inspiration for it's name), on Windows it's using ReadDirectoryChangesW and on Mac it's using FSEventStream API.
I started JNotify around 2005, long before the JVM supported file system notifications.
Today the recommended way is to use the JVM support, but if you can't rely on that is a good alternative.
One thing to remember is that JNotify is using the OS support which is sometimes no great. in some cases file system events gets dropped by the OS and there is not much you can do about it.

Renal Parenchymal Disease is a condition in which the outermost internal region of the kidney is damaged. This part includes the elements of organs that create urine. With the abnormal urine output, the Renal Parenchymal Disease results in high creatinine. This article is about the causes and treatment of creatinine 4.9 in Renal Parenchymal Disease.
How does creatinine 4.9 occur in Renal Parenchymal Disease?
Renal Parenchymal Disease in a kind of chronic kidney disease and can be caused by Lupus, bacterial infections, diabetes and high blood pressure, along with kidney stones. Millions of nephrons lie within the renal parenchymal area of each kidney. The nephrons contain arterioles, or small blood vessels, known as glomeruli. The glomeruli filter some wastes and toxins like creatinine and blood urea nitrogen. When the renal parenchymal is damaged, the glomeruli cannot filter creatinine adequately, causing an elevation of the creatinine. That's why creatinine 4.9 occurs in Renal Parenchymal Disease.
What does creatinine 4.9 mean?
Serum creatinine is always taken as indicator that reflects how well the kidneys are working. In clinic, the chronic kidney disease is divided into five stages. Creatinine is pretty much higher than the normal range and means you are in stage Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). If left untreated, it is very likely to progress into Stage 5 CKD, namely, Kidney Failure. Dialysis or kidney transplant will be required to lower creatinine 4.9.
Differ from dialysis, this therapy can not only decrease creatinine but also can repair the damaged nephrons. What does that mean? As you have known from the above mentioned, creatinine 4.9 is caused by damaged glomeruli, but dialysis cannot repair the nephrons. During the dialysis, the kidney does not work, which will cause more function in a long time.
However, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is created from traditional Chinese medicines, which can expand blood vessels, anti-inflammation, anti-coagulation and degrading extracellular matrix. All those methods is to purify blood vessels and providing oxygen, blood, and nutrition for the repairing of damaged nephrons. As long as the nephrons in renal parenchyma are functioning normally, excessive wastes and toxins will be excreted. Creatinine 4.9 will decline and disappear gradually.
Any questions, please talk with our doctor online. You are free of charge for this service.

Юдин продал за 300 руб. серебром двор мещанину Константину Варфоломееву Мергеневу, который выстроил двухэтажный полукаменный дом, боковым фасадом, выходящим в сад Розена.  Корнилий Юдин купил за 1400 руб. серебром усадьбу 17,5х17 саж. на углу Троицкой улицы (ныне ул. Куйбышева) и Думского переулка (ныне ул. Комсомольская) у мещанина Семёна Козмина Фролова. Там стоял деревянный двухэтажный дом, вместо которого Юдин выстроил двухэтажный каменный дом (ныне ГБПОУ «Курганский областной колледж культуры», ул. Куйбышева, 67). Для строительства дома он взял деньги в Общественном банке, где был директором, но во время не смог выплатить ссуду и банк в 1885 году продал дом купцу Ивану Стефанову Бакиновоу за 11270 руб. К 1885 году семейство Юдиных уже числилось по мещанскому сословию.

Сначала отбывал наказание на Акатуйской каторге Нерчинского горного округа, в 1911 году окончил свой каторжный срок в Алгачинской каторжной тюрьме (закрыта в 1917 году, территория находится в Александрово-Заводском районе Забайкальского края) и поселён, как ссыльнопоселенец в селе Творогово Посольской волости Селенгинского уезда Забайкальской области. В 1912 году переехал в Верхнеудинск.

После Февральской революции 1917 года амнистирован. 28 мая 1917 года был избран в Верхнеудинский комитет РСДРП. В Верхнеудинске стал одним из инициатором создания отделения Общества бывших политкаторжан и ссыльнопоселенцев. В 1926 году принят кандидатом в члены ВКП(б).

MAMA Awards Going Global: Ed Sheeran, Wanna One & Plans For Future U.S. Ceremony

The world's biggest K-pop award show just upped its global appeal with not only its first batch of performers but its plans to expand around the world's top music market.
At a press conference in Seoul on November 16, CJ ENM announced major news across the board when the Korean-entertainment company shared first details about its 2021 performer lineup and plans for its flagship award show MAMA, also known as the Mnet Asian Music Awards.
Just days after topping charts around the world with his latest album =, Ed Sheeran will perform at MAMA when it takes place next month. The English singer-songwriter has co-written two Billboard Hot 100 hits with BTS: "Make It Right," released in 2020 and became a radio hit for the group, and "Permission to Dance" which hit No. 1 on the charts in July. No details were given on if Sheeran will perform virtually if he'll travel to Asia for the performance like past MAMA performers that have included Stevie Wonder, Janet Jackson, Dua Lipa, and the Black Eyed Peas.
Meanwhile, sensational boy band Wanna One, who earned five Number One albums together during their limited, 16-month contract together, was announced to be reuniting at the award show with 10 of the 11 superstars that made up the group coming back together for a special performance at the show.

MAMA also announced its intentions to step foot on U.S. soil and hold the K-pop award show in America in the future, following its past dates that have been held across major cities in Asia. The task certainly won't be impossible for a company like CJ ENM who has successfully held its K-pop festival, known as KCON, across multiple countries and cities including Los Angeles, New York, Paris, Abu Dhabi, Mexico City, Bangkok, Sydney and beyond.
"As K-pop continues to grow in influence globally, we plan on expanding our presence to regions bordering Asia and beyond," said Kim Hyun-soo, Head of Entertainment at CJ ENM, at the press conference. "In a few years, we plan to host MAMA in the U.S., the world's biggest music market. This is an important year for MAMA to really solidify its presence as a global K-pop music awards ceremony. We plan to include global indicators and judging criteria to reflect K-pop's global status, which will further heighten MAMA as one of the top-tier global awards shows."
Under the theme of "Make Some Noise," the 2021 MAMA Awards will be held with a limited live audience and be broadcast globally on December 11. Voting is currently open for fan-voted categories.


The first quote, although from a British man, is very American. We have the idea that you can achieve anything you put your mind to. This is more true than not, but if you are trying to achieve something, how will you know when it is actually time to move on to something else instead of giving it another go?
Before you do, stop and do a reality check of your situation. Just why is it that success has evaded you so far?
You could make a critical mistake at this point. Motivation theorists Miller & Rollnick note that motivation is sometimes lost because of mistaken "attributions of failure", meaning that some people give up because they think they've "failed", and that their "failure" is due to their personal shortcomings. There are two problems with this. The first is that not succeeding isn't the same as failing, and the second is with the explanation for that "failure".
Using quotation marks on the word "failure" is deliberate. An attempt that didn't work out is best viewed as a chance to learn how you can do better. In essence, that means reframing the "failure" as a "try", an attempt that did not lead to the desired success, and then taking a look back to figure out what happened.
But you won't get the right answer without following one basic principle, and that is that you must be fair with yourself. Being fair means taking your full share of responsibility – but only your fair share, not a bit more. Don't fall into the trap of either taking too much blame or blaming something else when you shouldn't.
Were my abilities suitable for this goal?
Was I given the right training?
Did I have the right experience?
Were all the necessary resources available?
Was the timing right? Did this goal fit into my current schedule of commitments?
Did this goal really engage my interests?
How did others support or hinder what I was doing?
This is not to engage in excuse-making. That will only give a view of yourself that is unrealistic. Instead, strive to make something good out of your experiences, even the "bad" ones, because almost always, some valuable lesson can be learned. This is how you transform what could have been a setback into a setup for the next success in your future..

Two tumultuous decades in the telecommunications industry took a toll on Charles Fletcher's income and his spirit. When he retired in the 1990s at the age of 58, he found some peace of mind through volunteering at a Dallas-area equine therapy center for children with disabilities. The special connection he witnessed between the children and horses was both restorative and intimately familiar, as he had been around horses since he was 5. But Fletcher thought the program was falling short. It could do more than offer feel-good pony rides. It had the potential to heal.
And then there were the kids who never had a chance to climb into the saddle at all. Fletcher saw many cash-strapped families turned away. That feeling, too, he remembered from his childhood growing up poor in Tennessee, spending years working in cotton fields and factories before he saved enough to buy his first horse.
After several years of volunteering, Fletcher one day overheard an instructor raise his voice at a 7-year-old girl with autism, demanding that she look him in the eye. She wouldn't. Like a lot of kids with autism, she couldn't. After the lesson, Fletcher led the little girl away on her pony. Within a few quiet moments, she raised her head, looked him directly in the eye, and smiled.
That moment inspired Fletcher to figure out new ways to provide therapy. The children deserved a program based on science, and Fletcher felt a deep passion to provide that to them. "I knew I wanted to help these children in a big way," Fletcher says.
He spent countless hours searching the internet for innovative, game-changing equine therapy methods. He reached out to medical specialists, learned about brain development and began building a network of experts.
Cash-strapped but committed, he plowed his Social Security checks into launching SpiritHorse. In 2001, though money was tight, Fletcher, then 63, opened the gates of his ranch in Corinth, Texas, with just three riders and two ponies, Fudge and Snowflake.
Word quickly spread, mostly through referrals from parents and doctors, and Fletcher launched an encore career that has since changed more than 5,000 lives worldwide.
Today, his nonprofit employs 20 salaried instructors and provides hour-long therapy sessions to roughly 400 riders every week at his Texas ranch alone. It serves children with disabilities, at-risk youth, battered women and wounded veterans.
True to Fletcher's vision, the program provides all of this at no charge. "We went into this with two very big goals: To develop sophisticated methods of healing, and to deliver them for free," Fletcher says.
One of five children raised by a struggling widow, Fletcher knew firsthand what it meant to strive for financial stability. He started out at 18 working for AT&T, earning $42 a week, and from there climbed the corporate ladder.
His volunteering began in his 40s when one day in church, the pastor called for volunteers to sit with children with disabilities in their congregation. Fletcher stepped forward. At first, he was uncertain how to interact with the kids. "I prayed that God would help me become comfortable around them. He might have overdone it a little," Fletcher says with a laugh.
His desire to have an impact in the lives of children with disabilities keeps SpiritHorse open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week, with a steady stream of cars arriving at the center on a hilltop 30 miles north of Dallas. Each client is paired with one of 32 horses or ponies, many with child-friendly names: Tigger, Eeyore, Peter Pan, Buttercup. The riders have a variety of medical conditions, including autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis and spina bifida. They range in age from 9 months to 82 years old.
Fletcher's innovation is the particular therapy offered during lessons. Children work on skills such as speech, balance, core and leg strength and social interactions. For roughly 65 percent of clients, it is the only therapy they receive.
Sixty-three children have also walked their first steps, and 60 have sat up independently for the first time ever. Two independent studies conducted at SpiritHorse by The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam have documented significant decreases in autism symptoms. Twelve children originally diagnosed with autism have achieved the designation "non-autistic." These outcomes have garnered the attention of University of North Texas and the Autism Treatment Center, which are studying the impact of equine-assisted healthcare as a result of Fletcher's work.
The impact of SpiritHorse has traveled far beyond the ranch. Fletcher and his staff have trained and licensed 91 other centers in the U.S., South America, Africa and Europe, making SpiritHorse one of the largest and only research-based therapeutic riding centers in the world for people with disabilities. These centers must operate as self-sustaining units — raise their own funds, hire their own trainers — but Fletcher offers free guidance every step of the way.
One recent morning on the ranch, 8-year-old Joshua Leonard hopped out of a minivan and raced toward the barn, eager to see his favorite horse, a gentle buckskin gelding named Pooh Bear.
"We'll see," said Crystal Wayne, laughing. The 43-year-old instructor, an Army veteran, began at SpiritHorse as a volunteer. After a tour in Iraq, she suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder. She sometimes heard phantom artillery fire and ducked for cover. After her attempts at therapy failed, Wayne decided helping others might help her. So she headed to SpiritHorse.
She spent hours in a sunlit back pasture, brushing the mane of her favorite horse, Rossini. Their breaths would fall into the same rhythm, filling her with a sense of calm.
And the community has noticed. Many of the horses have been donated or sold to the ranch at a deep discount. The rose bushes that dot the property were donated and planted by Eagle Scouts. Four locked boxes accept anonymous donations, which draw about $30,000 annually.
In recognition of his extraordinary encore work, Charles Fletcher was awarded The Purpose Prize in 2014.

Q: Compiler error with filesystem library: clang and g++ I am writing a personal project in c++ which needs to access to files in some directories, hence I decided to use the filesystem library. I encountered some problems when I try to compile my project on MacOS and on Linux.
The code snippet is the following
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>

int main(){

    std::string path = "Inner";

    std::cout << "Files in " << path << " directory :" << std::endl;

    for (const auto & entry : std::filesystem::directory_iterator(path))
        std::cout << entry.path() << std::endl;

    return 0;

}

When I compile it on my MacBook Pro (clang version 11.0.3 (clang-1103.0.32.62)) with
g++ -o test test.cpp -std=c++17 -Wall
everything works fine. But as soon as I move to Linux (Ubuntu 19.04, g++ 8.3.0) I get the following error:
test.cpp: In function 'int main()':
test.cpp:8:33: error: 'std::filesystem' has not been declared
  for (const auto & entry : std::filesystem::directory_iterator(path)){

I include then the filesystem library with #include <filesystem>:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <filesystem>

int main(){

    std::string path = "Inner";

    std::cout << "Files in " << path << " directory :" << std::endl;

    for (const auto & entry : std::filesystem::directory_iterator(path))
        std::cout << entry.path() << std::endl;

    return 0;

}

compile it via g++ -o test test.cpp -std=c++17 -Wall -lstdc++fs and everything works fine on Linux too (note that I had to add -lstdc++fs).
Why is there this different behaviour on MacOS and on Linux? Does it depends on the compiler? What happens with Windows OS (I do not have any Windows PC at home)?

I found a related question and its answer here, but it does not seem to explain why in the first case (with clang) everything works fine also without including filesystem library.

A: *

*Using 'g++' is not using clang you should use 'clang++'

*Gcc should not be platform dependent but it might be different version

*At any case, you should explicitly include header files needed, and std::filesystem is defined in "<filesystem>"

*regarding the need to add "lstdc++fs' - this is a hint that actually g++ version is different and uses different llvm versions. As described in https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/filesystem

Notes:
Using this library may require additional compiler/linker options. GNU implementation prior to 9.1 requires linking with -lstdc++fs and LLVM implementation prior to LLVM 9.0 requires linking with -lc++fs


The x-treme façade cladding are solid planks for outdoor use and are made from compressed bamboo fiber which is supplemented by an additional thermal treatment of over 200 ° C.
Bamboo x-treme® bamboo fiber facade profiles are solid Woven ComBam bamboo panels made from pressed bamboo fibers. A unique heat treatment compression process gives Bamboo X-treme the highest durability class in EU standards.
Bamboo is the fastest growing plant on this planet and an abundant building material. All massive bamboo products have a negative CO² output over the entire life cycle, making them the most sustainable alternative to ever-shrinking tropical hardwood.
In contrast to other wood products, the X-teme® facade elements achieve fire protection class B-s1-d0 (EN 13501-1) and class A (ASTM E84). Thus, it is ideally suited for buildings with high fire protection requirements such as apartments, commercial buildings and gas stations, and also benefit from the beautiful natural look of the facade.
Bamboo X-treme® achieves this extraordinary fire safety without the need for impregnation with expensive and environmentally harmful flame retardants. This makes the product safe for the environment and for the people who work with it during the production and installation process, sustainable, safe and beautiful!
X-treme® bamboo elements made of bamboo fibers are available in 2 shapes: rhombus profile and rebate profile. X-treme® bamboo facades in rhombus profile can be laid by screwing the boards. The boards with rebate profile can be easily and quickly mounted with the Cobra clips. With the special clip we offer a sustainable complete solution of natural and attractive facades. The bamboo X-treme® is also available as a complete decking.
Woven ComBam® bamboo facades do not need any regular maintenance after assembly, which saves a great deal of time and money. Bamboo X-treme® bamboo fiber cladding resists temperature variations with virtually no shrinkage and swelling. Thanks to their high stability, the boards stay in position, unlike other natural materials. The unique properties of the material can compete with the best hardwoods. Like all hardwoods, bamboo will turn gray over time, creating an attractive natural look.
The use of tropical hardwood is associated with deforestation of forest stands. While tropical hardwood needs up to 80 years to harvest, Moso species bamboo trees for x-treme cladding have matured in 4 to 5 years. After the harvest, the bamboo plant does not die and there is no deforestation. On the contrary, the remaining strains of the mother plant grow even faster and thicker. Thus, the bamboo can be harvested annually and the bamboo forestry is the standard sustainable and fair for the farmers. Crownbamboo bamboo products are the ecological alternative to tropical hardwood and other less environmentally friendly materials.
Cobra® connection clips and screws These clips bamboo decking can be installed. Given correct installation a joint of 5-6 mm between the boards produced. The clips are supplied with beipassenden, stainless, black screws in4,5 x 30 mm (Torx 15).


Pregnancy is thought to be one of the happiest times in a woman's life, but some times, they feel confused, fear, sadness, stress and even depression. About 10-20% of women suffer from the depression syndrome during pregnancy, and a quarter to half of these will suffer from major depression.
Depression during pregnancy or antepartum depression is considered to be a mood disorder. They are caused due to the changes in brain chemistry. In pregnancy, hormonal change affect brain chemicals,that are directly related to depression and anxiety.
If the symptoms are serious, then the doctor must prescribe some medication immediately. Medications that can be used during pregnancy without adverse affects are available in the market.
Depression if not treated at proper time, may harm the mother and baby. This may lead to poor nutrition, drinking, smoking, and suicidal behavior which can then cause premature birth, low birth weight and developmental problems. A woman depressed often does not have the emotional strength or desire to adequately take care for herself or her developing baby.

Mazda launches racing MX-5
Posted on 23rd March 2011 4th April 2019 by Perrys Content Team
Mazda has launched a lightweight race car to challenge the likes of Aston Martin, Porsche, Lotus and BMW at the MSA British Endurance Championship 2011.
Based on the world's most popular two-seat roadster, the Mazda MX-5, the Mazda MX-5 GT features several important changes to the road-going model.
These include a new lightweight body weighing in at just 850kg thanks to carbon doors and polycarbonate windows, a tweaked suspension, a new six-speed sequential gearbox and a roll cage.
However, Mazda says it will maintain 'great handling' and be 'huge fun to drive' when it finally takes to the track.
This is in keeping with road-going versions of the Mazda MX-5, which holds the world record for two-seat sports car sales.
The Mazda MX-5 has been on sale for 21 years in various generations and over 900,000 have been sold. The roadster, available as a soft- or hard-top convertible, is particularly popular in the UK, which accounts for one in ten Mazda MX-5 sales.
The launch of the racing Mazda coincides with the introduction of a special edition Mazda MX-5 Kendo in the UK.
Available in 'Dolphin Grey' body colour for the first time, the new limited edition comes in 1.8i soft-top or 2.0i roadster coupe variations.
The soft-top version is priced at £19,255 and the roadster coupe costs £22,320. Both arrived in UK Mazda dealerships at the beginning of March 2011.
"Special Edition models of Mazda MX-5 have always been eagerly received by UK consumers and I'm sure the two new Kendo models will trigger a strong wave of fresh interest in our long-running star performer," said Mark Cameron, Sales Director, Mazda UK, after the launch of the new models.
Unfortunately, the racing version will not be joining the Kendo on sale in the UK, but it will race in nine events between March and November, starting at Silverstone on 26 March.
