The Scally Review into the Cervical Check scandal is expected to highlight "serious system flaws" in the screening programme.
It's also due to say that screening should be overhauled - when the report is published later today.
The review is expected to condemn the Cervical Check programme and doctors for "keeping women in the dark" about audits showing their cancer test results were incorrect.
Dr Gabriel Scally will say that the programme wasn't monitored by senior officials - and that there were "system-wide failures" in the HSE and Department of Health.
According to the Irish Times, he'll also strongly criticise the failure to communicate new information to the women affected.
Yesterday's leaks, which were strongly condemned, revealed Dr Scally won't recommend a commission of investigation being set up.
But Simon Harris, who'll brief the cabinet on the full report today, hasn't ruled setting one up anyway.
The Scally review will make 50 recommendations but won't single out any individuals.

Let the light shine through!!! This hand painted night light is the perfect addition to any home. The mandala was designed, hand painted, fused to 1500 degrees, and assembled in NJ by Cheryl Syminink. Thank you so much for supporting local artists!!!


So I have this idea of freezing our green curry soup, sort of like Taishoken does, and if it actually tastes the same after being defrosted, perhaps I can start shipping it across the pacific.
I'll let it freeze for a couple days and let you know about it soon.
maybe you should try some faster freezing method to keep the tate.. of course i dont know how feasable it is to use liquid nitrogen or dry ice but it should at least preserve more of the natural flavour..
Well, you could try freezing Chee-Chan too, but I bet it won't work. She's too hot!
Or Keizo can just move back to Orange County an open up a ramen shop here.
@Felix - good suggestion! though there may be more economical ways to flash freeze?


The Little Guy is an award-winning premium espresso system for home use. The quality of the espresso shots and the milk texture equal or better any machine in the world, commercial machines included. The Little Guy has no moving parts, ensuring near-zero servicing and perfect performance for the rest of your life.
The Little Guy will work on a narrow gas flame, requiring the heat focused to the center of the boiler. Electric stovetops will provide a perfectly reliable performance given the full coverage of heat over the boiler base.
We do, however, highly recommend the Little Guy induction top as the optimum heat source, offering the most efficient and accurate drive for the boiler, and a great addition to the family!
NOT suitable for induction stovetops except The Little Guy induction top (sold separately). The Little Guy is not compatible with most induction stove tops makes and models because of the solid stainless steel boiler base. If your induction stove top is compatible with the Little Guy it is fine to use on this, on approximately 75% heat setting.
NOT suitable for campfires or open fires of any kind.

Why Mexico's New President is Playing Nice with Trump
By Duncan Wood
It would be easy to assume that Mexico's new president is going to tear down his country's relationship with the United States. After all, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador—who was elected Sunday with a stunning 53 percent of the vote—has called President Donald Trump "erratic and arrogant" and has even published a book titled "Listen up, Trump!" in which he rejects the U.S. president's attacks on Mexico and his repeated calls for a border wall.
AMLO is an unapologetic leftist, and his Morena party, which he founded in 2013 and has built through sheer force of will, dominates the new Congress (although early numbers suggest his coalition may not quite get a majority in the Chamber of Deputies). The party also won five out of nine governorships that were put up for grabs in Sunday's election. AMLO and his party therefore appear to have an almost obstacle-free path for a radical agenda of change.
And yet there is still a great deal of confusion and doubt about what this means for Mexico and for its relations with the U.S. What is likely is that AMLO will be much less radical than many fear, and that he will pursue stability in place of revolution. For foreign relations, he has already indicated that he is willing to work with Trump and recognizes the importance of NAFTA to Mexican prosperity.

The Paul Reed Smith S2 Vela looks very cool in Antique White, it'd be a nice addition to just about any guitar collection.
This American made instrument has a few unique tonal colours to offer and the offset body is a big departure from the type of guitar usually associated with PRS. This particular Vela is super light and plays very well.

50 live casino games Join now!
mBit Casino has evolved a lot during recent years and months. Today mBit Casino is a solid performer in the online casino field. The casino should definitely be checked out if you are looking for a good all-round casino.
The simple and fast lobby of mBit Casino.
mBit Casino was launched in early 2014 and the casino is licensed and regulated in Curacao. mBit Casino is very well known Bitcoin casino in the cryptocurrency scene and is developing all the time.
In 2019 the casino has revised all the deposit bonuses and the whole VIP program. More on that later in this review.
And few months before the deposit bonuses came available also to other currencies than Bitcoin. mBit Casino was also one of the first bigger crypto casinos to enable support to Ethereum, Litecoins, Dogecoins and Bitcoin Cash.

mBit Casino offers 1138 casino games to choose from including almost all kinds of casino games you can imagine. mBit Casino features also popular live dealer games, where a video is broadcasted live from a dealer studio. There are 15 game providers to choose games from, so the game selection is on a very wide basis. The gaming software providers include names like Betsoft Gaming, Endorphina and GameArt.
The mBit Casino lobby runs also efficiently on every kinds of mobile devices like Android, iPhone, iPad and other tablets. When changing game type (like slots, blackjack, table games) the functioning is lightning-fast – which is not usual in other casinos.
The looks of the mBit Casino is not the flashiest of the industry. It's rather quite minimalistic and simple and we actually like that a lot.
Small sample of the mBit Casino game selection.
The information about bonuses, VIP Program or tournaments are very easy to find. Bonus terms can be found in the lower part of the web page in "terms and conditions"-link. This gives some trust to mBit Casino since full bonus terms are sometimes quite tough to find or hard to understand and interpret.
mBit Casino is somewhat active on social media, and there are information about campaigns and promotions posted monthly.
There is an official mBit Casino thread in BitcoinTalk.org, but that hasn't been quite active recently.

mBit Casino gets our thumbs up with no hesitation. The background of the company is solid and trusted and everything works at the casino.
Also customer support is fluent and Bitcoin and cryptocurrency transfers work fast. The deposit bonuses were updated recently in March 2019 and now they are very big in size. You can also get a lot of free spins. Only negative thing is that the wagering requirement went also up from 40x to 50x.
In reload bonuses however the wagering requirement is still the same 40x.
mBit Casino lobby – Not quite flashy, but the minimalistic design works fast! You can also see the game provider under each game, which is a nice improvement.
mBit Casino is very fluent and fast working cryptocurrency casino with solid background and long history. We can recommend mBit Casino with no hesitation!

← Pain and experiencing God's help!
When I was a boy. My dad had me out cutting trees on Saturdays when other boys were watching cartoons. I learned the value early, of very hard, difficult work.
Also, I was in every kind of Athletics imaginable. I played baseball. I played football. I ran track. And most especially I wrestled. Also, I learned and taught trampoline at Camp Cheerio summer camp. And I dabbled in the martial arts, even as a boy. So karate has literally been a lifetime Pursuit.
So it was only natural that my mother enjoyed seeing me eat. I was always skinny as a rail in high school. So she made sure to keep me nutritionally complete. She encouraged me not only to finish my plate but to finish everything on the table. She hated leftovers. And I gladly obliged her, and did not leave her any.
That mindset was great then when I was that active as a youngster. But that mindset and deeply trained appetite has been a very difficult thing to overcome, since I have realized that I have to, to trim down and continue to live healthy.
I've read a zillion articles on many different diets (exaggerating to make a point) . Only some form of low carb has ever worked for me.
Problem with the low carb diets is I can't maintain them long term. So I am trying something different now!
This is the first serious calorie counting I have ever engaged in. It now must go into the computer, before it goes into me. And the computer has made this possible.
I have jiggled back and forth with my weight in recent years. And I want to make a more sustained weight loss progress. So, the Point and approach of this diet is to try more well balanced eating overall. To maintain a diet with far less calories, still with controlled carbs and drastically reduced amounts and portions.
So I think I am on the right track for me, with the help of God. Though I fully expect my plan to change over time.
The myfitnesspal app. is an Awesome tool! You can literally chart the nutritional content of everything that you eat. It takes the guesswork out of figuring out what is in, what you are actually putting in your body.
So with the assistance of this tool, I am trying to discover a new way of eating. A way maximizing what is good for my body; with my overall health and wellbeing the acid test for what I do, in continuing this diet.
I Believe by the grace of God, this will not only help me solve the problem that led to my recent Health scare. But more so it will allow me to accomplish some bigger goals I have in my #Shotokan martial arts teaching.
I hope that this brief article of how I am approaching my own better health diet. Will encourage you to form or be more steadfast, in your own!
Sensei Tim, in between techniques.

Home › Responsible Travel › Australia Bans Tourists From Climbing Uluru. And It Is A Good Thing!
In an historic decision, the Uluru Kata Tjuta National Park board has worked alongside the wider Anangu local community and has decided unanimously to ban climbing on Uluru from October 2019 next year.
Uluru, formerly known as Ayers Rock, is one of Australia's most iconic natural sites in the Northern Territory, and one that has drawn backpackers and tourists alike for decades Given the fact that the impressive sandstone rock formation dominates the landscape at the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park and the sheer amount of cave paintings and sites of archaeological importance has been enough for it to be declared a UNESCO world heritage site, it really isn't hard to understand why.
This has made Uluru a massive draw for backpackers during the Australian leg of their gap year, with many attempting the climb to the top.
However Uluru is also a sacred site to the Yankunytjatjara and the Pitjantjatjara people, the traditional Aboriginal landowners of the National Park.
They believe that Uluru, and the nearby Kata Tjuta are the physical foundations of their entire culture and belief system. For the Yankunytjatjara and Pitjantjatjara people the mountains and rock formations are the sacred sites that represent the Tjukurpa, the creation period where their ancestors created the world and the foundation of their law for caring for one another and for the land.
For decades now, the Yankunytjatjara and the Pitjantjatjara people have asked, tried to educate and even beg people not to climb the mountain that is sacred to them in an attempt to get them to respect their traditional law. There is even a sign at the base of the trek that reminds everyone that they are climbing on sacred ground and that the local people ask them not to climb it.
Is tourism more important than respect for culture?
The big problem with this request is that up until this decision, it has always been legal to climb Uluru. It brings in a huge amount of tourist revenue for the Australian tourism board and as usual many tourists put their own experiences above and beyond any ethical or responsible concerns about what they are doing.
With a backdrop in recent years of tourists stripping off at sacred sites, getting drunk, getting into trouble with the authorities and generally showing so much disrespect for the places and cultures they are visiting, the tourism and gap year industries are not coming off very well at all.
This ban, alongside other legal measures taken by authorities of various countries are the backlash to that. This ban is all about saying tourists are welcome, but only if they respect the culture and the laws of the land.
I'm all for adventure travel. I love trekking, mountain climbing and adventure sports. But there has to be a balance. There has to be respect.
Tourism of any kind is a privilege, not your right.
There are a lot of tourists, and even some backpackers, who are decrying this decision but they are completely missing the point. They are understandably disappointed that they have been denied a tick on one of their bucket list items, but are forgetting that there is so much more to travel than just that.
Travelling around the world, whether that is on a gap year, a snap year or an endless independent trip, is about so much more than just a cookie cutter experience. There is far, far more to visiting Uluru than just climbing to the top of another mountain and getting your little badge that says 'I climbed Ayers Rock' and that inevitable damn selfie for your social media profile.
But travel is better than that. It has to be better than that.
Travellers should see this ban as a good thing, not a negative. They should see it as an opportunity to understand the local culture in much more detail, to explore the wider Uluru national park and appreciate Uluru from a distance, to experience the area on a deeper and more meaningful level.
And despite previous warnings from Tourism Central Australia that visitors will stop coming to Uluru if climbing is banned, I personally believe that the majority of travellers are better than that. I believe that backpackers in general will still flock to the area, and instead of climbing another mountain like they can do in so many other places in Australia and beyond, they will revel in the chance to get a different and unique experience, to trek around the base of Uluru and learn from local guides why the rock is so important to them and exactly why they shouldn't climb it. They will open their minds, learn about new cultures, have their own paradigms pushed and challenged and learn to think of Uluru the way the locals do.
Because that, at the end of the day, is what travel is really all about.
‹ How To Decide What Travel Vaccines You Really Need.
I don't understand why people wouldn't respect the wishes of locals regardless of wether it is a mountain or a temple or whatever.
I know what you mean Charlotte.
I have to admit I didn't know anything about this issue (I haven't managed to get to Australia yet) but climbing Uluru was on my list for when I did. I definitely wont be now, thats if it is still legal when I go!
About time! As you say travel is a privelige and it is just selfishness to put your own experiences above respecting local culture. The tourists who are whining about this need to get a grip.
Aw so a few tourists are upset they won't get their special experience, what a shame. This was the right decision!
Exactly! Couldn't have put it better myself!
Good on ya Australia! About time!
I just can't believe that there are still people complaining about this, as if it is their right to do whatever they like!


The Pennsylvania Utility Commission ordered 17 state utility companies to pass rate credits — estimated at $324 million annually — on to their customers this week, due to the impact of the 2017 federal tax cuts.
The Department of Revenue yesterday released details on April tax collections for the state, reporting tax revenue for the month exceeded expectations by almost a full percentage point, but General Fund revenue of $57.6 million missed estimates by 1.5 percent. The news came shortly after the Independent Fiscal Office issued its first revenue estimates for fiscal year 2018-19, which offered an increasingly sunny outlook for the commonwealth's finances.
The Department of Revenue and the Independent Fiscal Office released information Thursday on how state revenue collections matched up with expectations, and both reported that January revenue numbers exceeded expectations.

Blog: Countries to Strengthen Health Data collection, analysis and use in support of resilient health systems
October 18, 2019 October 18, 2019 Suzanne Slattery
Originally posted on WHO Africa on September 25, 2019
Kampala, 25 September 2019: It is a public health fact that routine data from health facilities expedites patient management, service utilization and treatment coverage. Data also facilitates planning and management of health services, monitoring performance on primary health care as well as health systems strengthening for Universal Health Coverage.
Yet despite this widely acknowledged contribution, many countries face challenges in health facility data systems such as poor data quality, siloed data systems, reporting burden on frontline workers, limited capacity for analysis and use at national and sub-national levels. These challenges are, despite the heavy investments made by countries, still faced in facility data systems.
"Fragmented data management systems used by disease programmes such as HIV, tuberculosis, immunization and epidemic disease surveillance are often disconnected from a comprehensive national facility data system and may operate in isolation," said Dr Yonas Tegegn Woldermariam in a speech read for him at the on-going three-day workshop on data, in Kampala.
"Luckily, the World Health Organization (WHO) in partnership with other organizations has attempted to address these challenges through the development of integrated, innovative approaches to strengthen health facility data quality, analysis, use and access," he added.
These approaches include common data standards, cloud-based digital platform and visual analytics, real-time data access and an integrated approach involving multiple partners.
The Kampala meeting takes place at a time when WHO member-states of the African region are implementing the WHO Thirteenth General Program of Work which aims to reach Triple billion people with public health services.
"This requires member-states to restructure their health systems so that they are more resilient and better prepared to address current health challenges and gain from improving the health of their populations," said Dr Tegegn. "One of the important elements for the success of these aspirations is the collection, analysis, management and use of routine health facility data, in order to better facilitate decision-making and action on health issues," he noted.
But for this to happen it is essential to have an integrated approach involving key health partners aligning their financial and technical resources in support of the Ministry of Health strategy. As Dr Tegegn pointed out, "implementation of this approach will contribute to making health systems more robust in countries".
The Director-General of Health Services at the Ministry of Health Uganda, represented by the Acting Assistant Commissioner- Division of Health Information at the Ministry of Health, Mr Paul Mbaka, highlighted the need to use data to optimize the deployment of interventions in the health sector.
"With the prevailing challenges, it is important to use data because it is instrumental in highlighting patterns and trends," he said.
Already, a number of countries in the African Region that have adopted this approach and have reaped good results. Indeed this success is the basis of the on-going WHO supported workshop aimed at building the capacity of participants in an integrated approach to strengthening health facility data.
At the end of the workshop, it is hoped that the participants from Botswana, Eritrea, Eswatini, Namibia, Nigeria and Uganda will have acquired knowledge and skills on harmonized approaches, standards and tools for strengthening the analysis and use of routine facility-based data.
They will also prioritize key actions required to strengthen the management of HIV, TB, Malaria, Immunization and Reproductive Health data through harmonized nationally-owned facility-based information systems.

Home Soccer Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger charged by FA after West Brom draw
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger charged by FA after West Brom draw
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has been charged by the Football Association over comments made to match officials after Sunday's 1-1 draw at West Brom.
The Frenchman was angry after referee Mike Dean gave the Baggies a last-minute penalty, which they scored.
It is alleged the 68-year-old's conduct in the match officials' changing room was abusive and that he questioned the integrity of the referee.
Wenger has until 18:00 GMT on Friday to respond to the charge.
With just a minute remaining at The Hawthorns, Calum Chambers was penalised after Kieran Gibbs pushed the ball onto his arm, but Wenger felt his player had not deliberately handled.
Football's laws state handball must be a "deliberate act" and the distance between the opponent and ball should be considered. Chambers was standing about two metres from Gibbs.
Speaking on Tuesday, before the charge was announced, Wenger said: "It was very disappointing.
"What is more frustrating for me is it happened many times this season – at Stoke, Watford, Man City, now West Brom.
"It is a concerning coincidence for me. That is why as well I was not at all happy with the movement the referee made as to why he gave the penalty. It did not correspond at all with what happened.
"On that front, it's a bit worrying."
Last January, Wenger was given a four-match touchline ban by the FA after being found guilty of misconduct after an incident with fourth official Anthony Taylor during a league game against Burnley.
Wenger's side, who are fifth in the Premier League, host third-placed Chelsea on Wednesday (19:45 GMT).

Clark proactively supports the health and rights of girls and women in the board of the advocacy organization Women Deliver and co-chairs The Lancet-WHO-UNICEF Commission on Child Health and Wellbeing.
PMNCH chairs are appointed for a two-year term. The High Commissioner for Human Rights and former President of Chile Michelle Bachelet and the international advocate for women's and children's rights Graça Machel have served as previous chairs. The Board Chair ad interim, the Government of India, represented by the Secretary, Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, Preeti Sudan, will resume as co-Chair.
Preeti Sudan, outgoing PMNCH Board chair, representing the Government of India said: "On behalf of the PMNCH Board, I am very pleased to announce the appointment of Helen Clark as Board Chair. She is an outstanding leader, an experienced UN administrator and a gifted strategist with a global reputation for advocating for sustainable development, peace, gender equality and inclusiveness."
Helen Clark, incoming PMNCH Board Chair said: "It is an honour to be selected as the Chair of the PMNCH Board and to follow in the footsteps of previous Board Chairs, Preeti Sudan, Michelle Bachelet and Graça Machel, who have made exceptional efforts to position the organization. PMNCH has become the key partnership for multi-stakeholder collaboration in the field of health and well-being for women, children and adolescents, fostering excellence in analysis, alignment, advocacy and accountability."
PMNCH Executive Director Helga Fogstad said: "Helen Clark is an excellent choice to lead the Board of PMNCH. The Partnership and its unparalleled work across a diverse range of constituencies will be in very good hands. I am confident that she will build on PMNCH's recent successes to ensure the Partnership continues to excel in its mission. I am greatly looking forward to working with her so that together we could take PMNCH up to the next level."

Deciding to go freelance is a big decision. Your customers will pay you and report those payments to various tax authorities on form 1099. Taking the step to freelance is the just first of many decisions you'll have to make.
By becoming a 1099 payee, you have eliminated a number of departments that you probably took for granted as an employee.
There is no employee manual. The people who hire you will not tell you their expectations for your behavior and dress. They will just cancel your contract.
It is now up to you to provide for yourself if you are injured or disabled. All those insurances that your employer provided are gone and you have to fill the gap.
Remember that if you are injured or sick and cannot work, you have no income. There is no employer contribution towards health insurance. There is no 401(k).
You still owe income taxes and FICA. There is no employer to make any deductions or report to the tax authorities. That word is plural because you may have to file reports to state and local tax authorities as well as the IRS. You may be required to estimate taxes and make payments on a regular basis during the year.
Your customers will pay you when they feel like paying you, regardless of what it reads on your invoice. Freelancers are routinely paid after everyone else. Your cash flow and your planning for the future needs to take that into account.
The companies and people that you owe money to will not be very understanding. You may need to pay bills weeks, if not months, before the related income arrives. The IRS is especially keen on prompt bill payment.
Are you working from a home office? Does your homeowners or tenants insurance cover that? Does your car insurance cover you for using it in your business?
Does your locality allow you to have a home office? Does your business need a permit or permits from the state or local government to operate? Do you need a license from the state or need to take specific courses?
Freelancing can be a great way to pursue your dreams and do the kind of work that you love. It requires some pre-planning and a commitment to staying organized and focused. You'll either need to tackle a variety of administrative tasks or find a trustworthy accountant or adviser to help. And having an emergency fund in advance won't hurt, either. A FAQ on self-employment can be found at the IRS website.

Giving Back To Veterans: How BVTI Creates Opportunities for Military Vets
Friday, July 10th, 2015 by Dale Messam
As a Service-Disabled Veteran owned company founded after 9/11, Best Value Technology, Inc. strives to support fellow military veterans in every aspect of business.
After serving in the military, it's not always easy for veterans to integrate back into normal life. BVTI helps veterans transition from working in the military into the civilian workforce by hiring individuals with an armed forces background.
The partnership between Best Value Technology, Inc. and military vets is a win on both sides. Veterans are the ideal candidates for BVTI.
"If we can hire a veteran that can do the job, that's great because we know what we are getting," says BVTI President and founder, Dan Zimmerman. "When you hire a veteran, you know that once they were put into a unit, they put aside their individual preferences and decided to work together as a team to get the mission accomplished."
President Dan Zimmerman's personal experience has helped shape BVTI. With a long line of military veterans in his family, Zimmerman followed suit and enlisted into the Army early in his career. From his background as an infantryman, he fostered a strong dedication to serving and protecting his country.
BVTI's charity work is focused on giving back to military veterans. Each year the company sponsors a golf tournament benefiting the Wounded Warriors and SGMA. The tournament raises funds and provides exposure for the organizations. BVTI invites the Wounded Warriors to participate in the tournament in an effort to learn more about them on a personal level.
"Each year we put on a Wounded Warrior tournament," says Zimmerman. "We really love the spirit that the Wounded Warriors embodies. We thought about how we could help them out – We also like to golf so we thought, 'Hey, we can combine golf with helping Wounded Warriors.' So we decided to start a tournament that raised money to help the Wounded Warriors. In addition to just sending them money, we invite Wounded Warriors to play with us each year. They send out usually a four-some and it's just an inspirational day. We have a lot of sponsors, subs, and partners on different contracts with us that come out and support this. We also have a company that comes out and they do prosthetics. They bring their prosthetics so everyone can see, touch, and feel them and see the kind of thing that the warriors would be wearing and working with."
Best Value Technology, Inc. was founded as a Service-Disabled veteran owned company. As BVTI continues to expand as one of the fastest growing private companies in America, its mission of supporting veterans will also grow and develop.

Research investigates post-traumatic stress in partners following miscarriage
One in 12 partners experience post-traumatic stress after miscarriage, suggests a new study.
The research, led by Imperial College London, surveyed over 100 couples who had experienced early stage pregnancy loss (miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy before 12 weeks).
The study, the first ever to investigate post-traumatic stress (PTS) in partners following miscarriage, follows previous research from the same team that found around one in five women experience long-term PTS following early pregnancy loss.
The current research, published in the journal Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology, found that one month after pregnancy loss, one in 14 (7 per cent) partners met the criteria for post-traumatic stress (PTS), rising to one in 12 (8 per cent) at three months, with one in 25 partners still suffering from PTS nine months after the pregnancy los.
The team behind the research, funded by theImperial Health Charityand theImperial National Institute of Health ResearchBiomedical Research Centre, call for improved psychological support for a woman and her partner following pregnancy loss.
Today (Friday 9th October) marks the start of UK Baby Loss Awareness Week.
There are around 250,000 miscarriages in the UK every year. Our previous research suggested women can be left deeply traumatised after a pregnancy loss, and this new study suggests partners also experience post-traumatic stress. Partners are often ignored when a woman experiences pregnancy loss.
Yet this research suggests that although partners do not suffer PTS as often as women, there still could be many thousands of partners living with post-traumatic stress, which is a serious condition that requires treatment."
Tom Bourne, Study Lead Author and Professor, Tommy's National Centre for Miscarriage Research, Imperial College London
One in four pregnancies ends in miscarriage - most often before or around 12 weeks. Ectopic pregnancies always result in pregnancy loss, as an embryo grows in an area outside of the womb and is unable to develop.
The women in the study attended the Early Pregnancy Assessment Units at three London hospitals -Queen Charlottes and Chelsea,St Mary's, and Chelsea and Westminster.
All couples in the study were asked to complete validated questionnaires about their emotions and behaviour one month after pregnancy loss, then again three and nine months later. In total 102 partners completed the survey one month after the pregnancy loss, dropping to 70 at nine months after the pregnancy loss.
The responses from the women were similar to those reported in a previous study, and revealed one month following pregnancy loss, a third of women (34 per cent) suffered post-traumatic stress while one in four (26 per cent) suffered PTS three months after the pregnancy loss, and one in five (21 per cent) at nine months.
The women and partners in the study who met the criteria for post-traumatic stress reported regularly re-experiencing the feelings associated with the pregnancy loss, and suffering intrusive or unwanted thoughts about the pregnancy loss. Both women and partners also reported having nightmares or flashbacks, while others avoided anything that might remind them of their loss.
The team add that although fewer partners met criteria for PTS than women, many of the partners experienced the individual symptoms of PTS, even if they did not meet full criteria for the condition. For instance, at one month, three and nine months after the pregnancy loss, over 80 per cent of all partners reported feeling helpless, and around a third of all partners reported feeling terrified. Around 70 per cent of all partners reported re-experiencing the event, and one in five reported their symptoms had affected relationships.

Dr Jessica Farren, first author of the research from Imperial, and Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, said: "This study demonstrates there is a sizeable proportion of partners who experience severe psychological symptoms after a pregnancy loss. Moreover, those partners who did not reach the threshold for diagnosis of post traumatic stress are still very likely to be experiencing symptoms the have an impact on their wellbeing.
Post-traumatic stress can have a toxic effect on all elements of a person's life - affecting work, home and relationships. Evidence suggests the risk of relationship breakdown increases after pregnancy loss, and our research shows the loss of a pregnancy can leave have a significant and lasting psychological impact on both a woman and her partner.
Hopefully an awareness of the results of this study will help couples navigate their different responses to these losses, and show each other the understanding that is needed to get through a very difficult period in their relationship."
Professor Tom Bourne added: "We have made significant progress in recent years in breaking the silence around mental health issues in pregnancy and postnatally, but early pregnancy losses are still shrouded in secrecy, with very little acknowledgement of how distressing and profound an event they are. This research suggests psychological support should be offered to both the woman and her partner, with couples given the option of attending therapy together."
The authors caution the study used a questionnaire for screening for post-traumatic stress, but formal diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder would require a clinical interview.
Ian Lush, Chief Executive of Imperial Health Charity, said: "As the dedicated charity for five London hospitals, we are committed to supporting pioneering research that leads to real improvements in patient care.
"This latest study shines a light on the serious psychological difficulties experienced by partners after a miscarriage and we look forward to seeing how this important research can be translated into better care for couples who face the unimaginable pain of losing a baby."
Tommy's chief executive Jane Brewin commented: "Baby loss can have a deep and lasting impact on both parents, and this study gives a voice to many who have suffered in silence, highlighting the profound consequences that can have for their mental health and wellbeing. The message is clear; partners are vulnerable to the same psychological problems as mothers, and specialist support must be made available to either or both bereaved parents.
"It's fitting that Tommy's National Centre for Miscarriage Research has raised this issue in Baby Loss Awareness Week, which this year focuses on the isolation that grieving families too often face - an issue that can be exacerbated for partners who feel they have to be strong and supportive, hiding their own heartbreak. Attitudes to baby loss must change so that anyone who wants to open up or ask for help feels able to do so."

Each raw IUE image consists of a 768 ×768 picture elements or ``pixels''. Partial-read images, which are not full 768 ×768 images, are discussed in Chapter 4.3. Each vidicon scan line consists of 768 pixels or ``samples'' obtained in minor frame units of 96 pixels; 768 such scan lines compose the entire image. Line 1, sample 1 is at the upper left corner of the image; line 768, sample 768 is at the lower right corner of the image. Each raw pixel value lies in the range 0 to 255 (integers only). The units of raw pixel values are data numbers (DN), which are proportional (up to the telemetry system limit of 255) to the integrated charge read out from the SEC Vidicon target in the camera scanning process. Since the telemetry system saturates at 255, the DN/charge proportionality breaks down at that level.
Associated with each raw image is a set of 20 header, or label, records. Each record is 360 8-bit bytes long and is a concatenation of five 72-byte logical records. This set of 20 label records was generated by the IUE Operations Control Center (IUEOCC) software during image acquisition and contains various identifying parameters and scientific/engineering data pertinent to the image.
Raw IUE images must be corrected for the instrumental effects of the SEC Vidicon camera system before quantitatively meaningful data can be extracted from them. The correction for radiometeric (photometeric) non-linearities and non-uniformities is discussed in Chapter 6. The removal of geometric distortions introduced by the vidicon system are described in Chapter 7. The layout of the spectral format in either dispersion mode is mathematically set forth by the methods related in Chapter 8. Figures 2.1 through 2.15 illustrate schematically the spectral formats in both dispersion modes, for both apertures, for all three operational cameras and refer to raw image space. The square border defines the 768 ×768 the whole image, whereas the inscribed arcs roughly define the target ring, which is the area within which the photometeric correction is applied (Chapter 6) and from which spectral information is extracted. For high dispersion, the extracted odd and even echelle orders are shown in separate figures. Numbers and tick marks mark the wavelengths in Å ngstroms.

match review copied from
West Ham 0 Crystal Palace 0
West Ham kept 11 players on the pitch for a change but could not find a way past Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon.
The promotion-chasing Hammers had goalkeeper Rob Green to thank for keeping them in the game in the first half, and then some wayward finishing cost them after the break.
Green was only able to play after winning an appeal against his midweek red card, having become the third player West Ham player to be sent off in the last three matches.
From those games West Ham still picked up seven points, including three on Tuesday in a stunning 4-1 win at Blackpool where midfielder Henri Lansbury deputised for Green in goal during the second half.
However, they could only manage a single point with a full complement of players against London rivals Palace.
The Eagles almost shocked their hosts with just 30 seconds played, Wilfried Zaha wriggling free down the right and crossing for Darren Ambrose, who curled a shot just wide.
A minute later James Tomkins created West Ham's first chance with a clever through-ball but George McCartney's chip floated the wrong side of the post.
Green, whose eventful week also included an England recall, was kept busy throughout the first half, blocking a fierce Chris Martin drive and tipping over the deflected follow-up from Zaha.
From the resulting corner, Mile Jedinak was left unmarked right in front of goal but the midfielder headed over.
Australian Jedinak kept trying his luck, though, and he forced another fine save from Green with a 20-yard shot and also fired wide in first-half stoppage time.
Home boss Sam Allardyce hauled off the error-prone Julien Faubert at half-time, sending on Carlton Cole to partner Nicky Maynard in attack.
The change almost paid immediate dividends when a mistake by Zaha let in Maynard who found Cole on the edge of the area, but the striker's curled shot was off target.
Moments later Ricardo Vaz Te was denied by a well-timed tackle in the area from Anthony Gardner just as he was about to shoot.
Tomkins then headed Mark Noble's cross over and Maynard's shot was also too high.
Sam Baldock almost made himself an instant hero within seconds of coming on as a substitute after Noble put him through, but his shot was too close to Julian Speroni.
Speroni denied Baldock again and Winston Reid late on, before Jack Collison blazed over in stoppage time to cap a frustrating afternoon for the Hammers.

Q: Connect PHP/phpMyAdmin to MySQL/MariaDB via named-pipe when skip-networking is enabled on Windows Apache 2.4, PHP and MySQL or MariaDB Server are all running under Windows 10. phpMyAdmin is used in this environment.
my.ini has the configuration options skip-networking and enable-named-pipe set. So there is no way to connect via network.
HeidiSQL is connecting well using this configuration using . as hostname.
What options may be used for phpMyAdmin, to make him connect? I tried '.', 'localhost', '' and null. I also tried the options of my related posts.
How is this done using mysql::real_connect in PHP itself (which phpMyAdmin uses)? I think the docu is unclear for the socket parameter.
Related on stackoverflow:

*

*PhpMyAdmin connect protocol PIPE

*MySQL: Trying to connect via Named Pipe but getting "open_basedir restriction in effect"
My configuration (edit):

A: For mysql 80 you need to enter following named pipe for windows
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['socket'] = '\\.\pipe\MySQL80'

you should also check the phpmyadmn manual for connection and the mysql manual for more information on named pipes
To extent the answer:
The MySQL driver will always try to use sockets(linux) or named pipes(windows), when you add localhost as host, only when it can't use Sockets/named pipes, it will try to connect via TCP/IP, so under normal circumstances you don't need the line i wrote, only if you have a different name for the socket/named pipe you need to enter the socket/named pipe at that place.
so if you don't allow TCP/IP communnications for MySQL and the named pipe can't be established the connection would fail.
