In early September, as many school districts were still deciding whether to hold in-person classes, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention altered the title of a scientific report on the coronavirus and removed words like "pediatric" from its text, days after a Trump administration appointee requested similar changes, according to emails obtained by POLITICO.
That request — issued by then-public affairs official Paul Alexander — came amid President Donald Trump's broader push to reopen schools, with the president issuing demands on Twitter the prior day that "Democrats, OPEN THE SCHOOLS ( SAFELY)," and holding a press conference that touted data on the relatively low risk of Covid-19 for children.
"On schools, as part of our science-based approach, we want schools to safely open and stay open," Trump told reporters on Sept. 10. "Children are at extremely low risk of complications from the virus."
The Sept. 11 email exchange between Alexander and other officials centered on an embargoed CDC bulletin set to publish the following week and which Alexander — an unpaid assistant professor at Canada's McMaster University who was recruited by longtime Trump operative Michael Caputo — said contained faulty science. For instance, defining teenagers aged 18 and older as "pediatric" patients was "misleading," Alexander wrote to Charlotte Kent, the editor-in-chief of the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Reports. Alexander also said that the document wrongly conflated the risks of the coronavirus to young children and older adolescents, urging Kent to make multiple changes to the document.
Alexander's requests — the latest in a series of demands — set off new concerns inside CDC, which was already reeling from Alexander's efforts to retroactively alter several reports or halt the MMWR process altogether. The reports are sent to researchers, physicians and hospitals to update them on the latest medical guidance and findings. The study in question addressed the death rates of Covid-19 among the pediatric population; CDC has frequently used the term "pediatric" to refer to the population under age 21, in line with how the American Academy of Pediatrics defines the term.
Democrats, OPEN THE SCHOOLS ( SAFELY), NOW! When schools are closed, let the money follow the child (FAMILY). Why should schools be paid when they are closed? They shouldn't!
Alexander's requests also complicated Kent's own efforts to change the report after she said career civil servants made similar suggestions, according to an email exchange that CDC shared with POLITICO.
"[I]f we change the title and how the cases are described, there could be an erroneous perception that we are being influenced," Kent wrote on Sept. 14 to Anne Schuchat, the CDC's no. 2 official and the agency's top civil servant.
The final version of the CDC's report, published on Sept. 15, contained revisions approved by career officials like Schuchat but also in line with those sought by Alexander. For instance, the report's title was changed to remove the words "Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults" and replace them with "Persons." Meanwhile, the word "pediatric," which had appeared three times in the draft summary, did not appear in the published version of the equivalent paragraph, among other changes in the final version.
"Careful monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 infections, deaths, and other severe outcomes among persons aged <21 years remains particularly important as schools reopen in the United States," according to the published report. The draft version of that sentence, reviewed by POLITICO, used the words "children, adolescents, and young adults" instead of "persons."
The report went on to break down health and demographic data about young people who died of Covid-19.
The episode is the latest example of how Trump appointees' interference has rippled across the health department — and how even when career experts can find common ground with political officials, they have been tainted by the unprecedented efforts to shape their findings.
One current and two former CDC officials who reviewed the email exchange between Alexander and Kent said they were troubled by the intervention to alter scientific reports viewed as untouchable prior to the Trump administration. The resulting changes also appeared to minimize the risks of the coronavirus to children by making the report's focus on children less clear, two individuals said.
Emails show HHS official trying to muzzle Fauci
Alexander's emails on the CDC's bulletins are also a further indication of how administration officials have mounted a concerted effort to play down language about the risks of the coronavirus to children. White House coronavirus coordinator Deborah Birx separately pressed the CDC to adjust its guidance to reopen schools, The New York Times reported last week.
Alexander, who left HHS on Sept. 16, did not respond to a request for comment. An HHS spokesperson distanced the department from Alexander, saying that his role had been "temporary" and pointing to his recent departure. HHS Secretary Alex Azar told a congressional committee on Friday that he did not support Alexander's harshly worded demands to edit the reports.
POLITICO first reported that Alexander and other Trump appointees were seeking to alter and even halt the CDC's reports, alleging that the MMWR bulletins were deliberating undermining Trump's claims about the virus' risks. Alexander also spent months pushing government scientists to minimize the risks of the coronavirus in children, including attempting to muzzle infectious diseases expert Anthony Fauci from speaking publicly about those risks.
CDC defended the revisions to the MMWR as science-based. Kent said in a statement that the changes were made based on an "internal clearance process, not based on any comments from outside CDC."
"This wording issue was flagged by CDC scientific reviewers as part of the routine internal clearance process for MMWR reports," she said in a statement. "They noted, and MMWR editorial staff agreed, that the change should be made for clarity and to make the wording consistent with other scientific characterizations of age."
One current and two former CDC officials said they did not agree with the decision to remove words like "children" and "adolescents" from the title in favor of the vaguer "persons." For instance, the new title would make it harder to find the report when scientists searched for data on the risks of the coronavirus to children — and that some scientists might skip by it altogether, said two of the individuals.
They also unanimously raised concerns about why Alexander — who had served as Caputo's hand-picked science adviser before Caputo went on medical leave Sept. 16 — was requesting changes in the scientific bulletin.
"The unusual thing is that he's having a discussion directly with the MMWR editor-in-chief," said a former CDC official with knowledge of the MMWR process, adding that the journal editor was historically protected from directly interfacing with political appointees outside of CDC.
Trump officials interfered with CDC reports on Covid-19
The CDC has spent decades maintaining a firewall around the MMWR reports, which officials said is intended to protect its scientists from political pressures. Three former editors-in-chief of the MMWR reports warned last month that even the implication of political pressure could tarnish the famed journals' influence and scientists' trust in the findings. The reports are influential in shaping global public health strategies. Fauci, the infectious-disease expert, has credited a 1981 MMWR that broke the news of HIV with changing the shape of his career.
But before he left the health department, Alexander had sent emails haranguing Kent and CDC Director Robert Redfield, attacking the MMWR process and demanding that he be allowed to edit the reports prior to publication.
The bulletins are "constantly reporting incompletely and writing in a manner to make the nation run and dig a hole and climb inside with their children for 10 years," Alexander wrote to Kent, Redfield and other officials on Aug. 8, in an email obtained by POLITICO. "It makes no sense. It is meant to [deceive]."
After POLITICO first reported Alexander's interventions last month, sparking widespread concern from scientists and others in the public health community, Redfield insisted that political appointees' demands had not shaped the reports.
"At no time has the scientific integrity of the MMWR been compromised," Redfield testified in a Senate hearing on Sept. 16. "And I can say that under my watch it will not be compromised."
But current and former CDC officials have said the agency is already facing regular pressure that threatens to compromise its operations.
"CDC science should not be undermined nor the voices of its experts muted, or our nation will suffer a crisis of confidence and trust that will continue to hamper our recovery from this pandemic," Richard Besser, the president of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the former acting CDC director, wrote in the Scientific American last month. "We cannot let this happen."

According to a study assessing 25 year's worth of satellite data, global sea levels are rising at an accelerated rate, which could result in a rise twice as high as previous projections by 2100.
With results published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), researchers looked at altimeter measurements gathered over the last three decades by satellites, such as TOPEX/Poseidon, as well as tide gauge data and climate simulations.
The results revealed that the rate of sea level rise is accelerating by about 0.08 mm per year, which could see the seas rise by at least 10 mm per year by the end of the century.
Lead researcher Steve Nerem told New Atlas that the results are very concerning, considering that estimates made have been conservative.
"This acceleration, driven mainly by accelerated melting in Greenland and Antarctica, has the potential to double the total sea level rise by 2100 as compared to projections that assume a constant rate – to more than 60 cm instead of about 30 cm," Nerem said.
"And this is almost certainly a conservative estimate. Our extrapolation assumes that sea level continues to change in the future as it has over the last 25 years.
"Given the large changes we are seeing in the ice sheets today, that's not likely."
While some of the satellite data is unstable due to fluctuations caused by El Nino and La Nina patterns, the scientists used climate models that determine how much of an effect these events would have.
"The tide gauge measurements are essential for determining the uncertainty in the [global mean sea level] acceleration estimate," study co-author Gary Mitchum said.
"They provide the only assessments of the satellite instruments from the ground."
The research team included scientists from the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences, the University of Colorado Boulder, the University of South Florida, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Old Dominion University and the National Center for Atmospheric Research.

They will explain how to use the software, where this section will go into a bit of detail about the results you get back.
None - this means that no links were found, either because the URL was not processed (see below) or simply because we could not find any links on that page. It typically means that the link is no longer live.
Not processed - in the Link Analysis 'Settings' tab you are able to set the maximum number of URLs per domain (to a maximum of 10). If you have set this, and you have a domain with 500 different URLs linking to you, it will only check 10 as specified and not the other 490. Everything else will be classified as 'Not processed' and will appear on this tab. In real terms, if you have any more than 10 links from any one domain and there is no good reason for it, you should be treating this as a spammy signal (e.g. link in the footer).

Statement by HR/VP Federica Mogherini on the International Day of Commemoration and Dignity of the Victims of the Crime of Genocide and of the Prevention of this Crime
Bruxelles, 08/12/2018 - 10:50, UNIQUE ID: 181208_1
Statements by the HR/VP
We pay tribute to the memory of the victims of genocide on this year's International Day, in honour of the 80th anniversary of the adoption of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide by the United Nations General Assembly. We need to continue working together to live up to the joint promise of 'never again'.
Commemorating this day gives voice to victims of genocide and raises awareness of genocides globally. Genocide never happens in a vacuum – it is the final stage of escalation of hatred. Xenophobia, racial and ethnic profiling, glorification of hate crimes, often guided and encouraged by the political leaders within a state, are always a clear early warning sign for the international community of potential conflict and atrocity crimes.
Early identification and decisive reactions are essential to prevention. At the same time, comprehensive, joint work needs to ensure that the perpetrators of such crimes are held accountable and do not go unpunished. The Responsibility to Protect is a principle that the EU has integrated in its policies and we are closely working together with international partners, in particular with the United Nations and the International Criminal Court, and civil society organisations, to end impunity for those responsible for the horrendous crime of genocide and to establish effective prevention schemes.
As part of our daily work we build societal resilience and address the root causes of conflict and atrocities across the world through our diplomatic outreach, our multilateral cooperation and through development cooperation.
Putting an end to genocide is a generational challenge, one that requires constant engagement. The European Union will continue to lead these endeavours. We owe it to the many victims, their families and their societies. We owe it to our common future.

Behind The spacebar – A Look Into The Space
Julaila Latiff
Source: the spacebar and Vessels
Light To Night Festival is back! This year, the festival introduces the spacebar, an interactive safe space inspired by the National Collection. The safe space is the first of its kind as part of Kolektif, a youth volunteer programme as part of National Gallery Singapore.
Just like the Light To Night Festival, the spacebar is a hybrid programme where activities can be found online and at National Gallery Singapore during the festival period. Head to Ngee Ann Kongsi Auditorium Foyer, located at basement one of National Gallery Singapore to experience the spacebar. This space will be open to the public from 5 pm to 10 pm on 22 – 23rd and 29 – 30th January 2021 during the Light To Night Festival.
Source: the spacebar
The spacebar is a safe space to help Singaporeans cope with Covid-19 affecting human relationships because of safety distancing measure. In conjunction with Light to Night Festival's theme, "_____ -in-progress", the spacebar focuses on reflections through voicing out and giving individuals the strength to grow. It aims to encourage people to use artworks to help in their self-reflection process.
The Spacebar @ Ngee Ann Kongsi Auditorium
The installation at Ngee Ann Kongsi Auditorium has two sections that enable visitors to have their own personal reflections or as a group with their friends and family. The space is also a place where Light To Night Festival visitors to have a place to sit and relax during the festival. They can enjoy a projected 3D rendering created by Annie Hung and music by Kin Leonn that was created specifically for the space.
The space is a deconstructed bedroom with four zones for visitors to explore. The bed, closet, study table, and chill out area are where all are welcome. It is curated to be a safe space that allows people to feel comfortable. It is also curated in a way that will guide visitors in their self-reflection.
Source: Vessels
Visitors who visit in groups can play an exclusive card game by Vessels, creators of TableTalk. This TableTalkXKolektif collaboration explores three different topics – identity, work-life balance, and relationships. The game, together with the space, focuses on encouraging intentional and meaningful conversation while invoking self-reflection in a group setting.
For visitors who are looking for a personal reflection, they can head towards the toilet bowl where they are able to flush out their emotion. After answering a short reflective questionnaire, they will receive a personalize receipt with their answers and directions to different artworks if they would like to continue their art-guided self-reflection journey.
Watch our Spotted Media video about the space!
The spacebar website
Source: Screenshot from thespacebarsg.com
The spacebar website is an online platform where visitors can engage in self-reflections at anytime, anywhere. The website features guiding questions for visitors to reflect and answer at their own time and pace. It mirrors the on-site spacebar while focusing on individual reflections.
The questions are accompanied by a rendering in the background, similar to the spacebar at National Gallery Singapore, to encourage the visitors to use art in their reflections. The answers submitted will be published anonymously on the website where others can view and create a sense of shared experience.
Visitors can also reshare or repost the answers on the website. The website will be launching soon on 15 January 2021.
My Kolektif Experience
Source: @kolektif.sg
The spacebar experience is made possible through the Kolektif programme. This programme is the first of its kind by National Gallery Singapore and is made up of 20 youth volunteers who were selected in early 2020. These youth were given a chance to create programmes made for youth, by youth to be featured during Light To Night Festival 2021.
Source: Shevon Leck
Being part of the Kolektif gave me the chance to meet individuals who are passionate about the Arts. Together with four other members and one highly motivating gallery coordinator, my team came up with the concept for the spacebar after being inspired by An Indoor Scene Of A Pub In England by Wu Guanzhong from the National Collection.
The concept went through several revisions with a lot of obstacles along the way. On top of that, the safety distancing measures made it challenging to even meet for a group discussion. At times, it feels like it is a lot for six people to handle. However, the rest of the Kolektif members are always helpful in giving us a hand.
Even though the programme is carried out by the Impressionist, everyone in the Kolektif contributed in one way or another. From the things laid out in the space to the constant feedback, it is somewhat a Kolektif effort.
Kolektif Takeover @ Singapore Courtyard
The spacebar is among four programmes under the Kolektif. You can check out the rest of the programs by the Kolektif members at the Kolektif Takeover. The programmes will be located at Singapore Courtyard, level 2 of the City Hall Wing of National Gallery Singapore. Sign up for quick tours, zines workshops and blind friendship dates and get to know more about the Kolektif programme!
If you are passionate about the Arts scene in Singapore, consider joining the Kolektif! Meet like-minded people and work together with the gallery to create exciting programmes for the future.
Keep an eye out for more details about the 2021 Kolektif intake through their Instagram page. Additionally, you can come down to the Kolektif Takeover and ask the members at the registration table!
Remember to come down to the spacebar on 22 – 23rd and 29 – 30th January 2021! There are so many programmes to look forward to during Light To Night Festival 2021!

Kim Lim Singaporean-British, 1936-1997
Kim Lim was born in Singapore and spent much of her early childhood in Penang and Malacca. After her schooling in Singapore, Lim knew that she wanted to become an artist, and at eighteen, she enrolled at St. Martin's in London, where she spent two years concentrating mainly on wood carving. She then transferred to the Slade, where taught by the etcher Anthony Gross and lithographer Stanley Jones, she developed a strong commitment to printmaking.
On journeys back to Singapore she stopped off in Europe and India, soaking up the art 'like a sponge'. These were the experiences that confirmed in her a lifelong predilection for things archaic, and for the flow and rhythm of Indian and South East Asian sculpture : "I found that I always responded to things that were done in earlier civilizations that seemed to have less elaboration and more strength." In Greece she was entranced by Cycladic sculpture. Of Chinese art she was moved most by early Shang bronzes, Han sculpture, Sung pottery: things characterized by formal and decorative simplicity.
Kim Lim exhibited widely after leaving the Slade in 1960. From 1980, she turned to stone-carving, whilst continuing to make prints and fill sketchbooks with drawings from nature. With her husband the sculptor and painter William Turnbull, she made journeys to China, Indonesia, Cambodia, Egypt , Malaysia and Turkey, always alert to art and nature alike, and with a sharp eye to human diversity.

Hands on: Samsung Charm review
A wearable that favours the ladies
By Gareth Beavis
What is a hands on review?
Early Verdict
A sleek little wearable, but will it be enough just to track steps and show notifications in today's increasingly powerful wearable world?
Loads of options for wear
No haptics for notifications on smaller Charm
Needs more holding modes
Why you can trust TechRadar Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about how we test.
One of the biggest issues that wearable brands are facing these days is how to stick them onto the human body without it looking like you're a massive tech nerd.
Smartwatches sort of address the issue, but they're still mostly behemoths on the wrist compared to your day-to-day timepieces. So how do you create something that will give you the fitness data many people crave, but somehow stay invisible?
Samsung's new wearable range aims to solve that problem, going down the modular route that many other manufacturers have taken.
The 'Samsung Charm' (the name of which I only gleaned from the companion app, with Samsung representatives telling me there was no name yet) is a small device that can be clipped in and out of different jewellery-styled holders.
You can stuff it in a cufflink, wear it around your neck, or even have it as a ring if you want to get the maximum fitness data but still want to look stylish with it. Well, sort of stylish... this thing isn't tiny.
There are two versions of the Charm, with the aforementioned model being more multi-faceted than the bracelet version, which is a larger module that adds wider functionality.
The smaller charm seems to be pretty compact though, given that it's supposed to be able to track steps (and presumably sleep), and deliver notifications when they come through.
Sadly, the smaller module can't buzz to let you know when something has come in that requires your attention – it'll just flash a notification light to let you know it's time to get your phone out.
The larger bracelet version can do all the haptics though, so if you're looking for something a little more functional then that's your option.
While there were cufflinks on offer to show how man-friendly the Samsung Charm is, this felt again like a wearable aimed at women, with the necklace and ring configurations, and the slimline design of the larger bracelet version, looking very much like female jewellery.
If you're thinking this seems a lot like what Misfit is offering then, well, you're not too far wrong. The smaller Charm module moves around just like Misfit's does (although it's slightly more compact, thus making it more applicable for things like rings) and the bracelet version mirrors very closely the new Misfit Ray – although given that both were launched at the same show it's likely that's just coincidence.
I was only able to pick up the bangle version of the smaller Samsung Charm, so I wasn't able to see how easily it flitted in and out of different holders. It didn't seem overly clunky though, and while it would be on the large side to wear as a ring, it wouldn't look ridiculous.
The key question here is how accurate its tracking information would be, given that it can be placed at different locations on the body – would you get the same step-tracking information with the device worn on your finger as with it around you neck, for example?
It would be nice to see more male-oriented options for wearing the Charm as well, to make it properly unisex – I really like the idea of shoving it in a pair of cufflinks.
There's no word on pricing or a release date – this seems like only a concept at the moment. But it's a cool concept, and one which suggests the bigger players are thinking about how to get wearables more seamlessly into our lives.

Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark is a reality and it will come later in 2014 to PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U, and Nintendo 3DS.
Update - According to Examiner (via Joystiq), Edge of Reality (Loadout) will oversee development on Rise of the Dark Spark's PC and console versions, which will effectively merge the cinematic Transformers universe with the narrative from the Cybertron series of games. The 3DS version will be developed by WayForward (DuckTales Remastered) as a strategy RPG.
Original story - It was leaked at a retailer yesterday and, indeed, it appears that Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark is a reality. The game was revealed at today's NYC Toy Fair and will come from publisher Activision.
The trailer comes courtesy of IGN and shows the continuing battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons, as they fight over the fate of Earth. And before you ask, yes, there are Dinobots. While the visual style suggests something closer to High Moon's Transformers games, the trailer's final image shows no developer logo.
Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark will arrive later in 2014 on PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U, and Nintendo 3DS.
Ozzie Mejia posted a new article, Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark confirmed for 2014.
Yep. I thought it was great.
It was one of the best games I played that year.
Update: And the developer is...not High Moon. That saddens me immensely.
And linking it with the movies is a dampens my enthusiasm a little bit too.
You know, the second game by High Moon (name escapes me atm) still hasn't dropped in price for PC :(.


Have some complaints against the illegal homeowners association of Lime Tree Village Community Club Association, Inc.?
Florida §806.13 - Criminal Mischief In the association's quest to single out non-members, the association has decided to graffiti the streets in front of every non-member property by spray painting a colored line by the mailbox on public property. This of course is against the law. §806.13 states the following: A person commits the offense of criminal mischief if he or she willfully and maliciously injures or damages by any means any real or personal property belonging to another, including, but not limited to, the placement of graffiti thereon or other acts of vandalism thereto. Each act of graffiti can quite possibly be viewed as a separate incident, meaning the association may have racked up dozens of violations in their quest to shame homeowners into joining.
Florida §316.077 - State Uniform Traffic Control: Display of unauthorized signs, signals or markings. In addition to Criminal Mischief, the associations marking of public roadways also violates §316.077, which states the following: No person shall place, maintain or display upon or in view of any highway any unauthorized sign, signal, marking or device which purports to be or is an imitation of or resembles an official traffic control device or railroad sign or signal, or which attempts to direct the movement of traffic, or which hides from view or interferes with the effectiveness of any official traffic control device or any railroad sign or signal. Violating 316.77 is punishable as a nonmoving violation, as provided in Chapter 318.
Florida 318.14 - Noncriminal traffic infractions As stated above, the association's graffiti is a noncriminal traffic violation that can be punishable by fines per incident.
Florida 784.048 - Harassment Again, in regards to the association's graffiti, because they are specifically targeting non-members month after month, their actions could be considered harassment, which is defined by law meaning "to engage in a course of conduct directed at a specific person which causes substantial emotional distress to that person and serves no legitimate purpose." Because these homeowners are not members to this corporation, the actions by the association serve no purpose and because the nature of their harassment - intimidating non-member properties into joining and paying their corporation money - substantial emotional distress could be imposed on an individual. Their actions may also fall under harassment because since the covenants expired under MRTA and they have no legal authority whatsoever, they have no legitimate reason to pursue a claim against any individual.
Florida Statute 712.08 - Filing False Claim This is an important one. Because the Marketable Record Title Act extinguished the covenants and restrictions in 2009 and the association filed a notice of preservation subsequent the expiration, they are in fact filing a false claim.
Florida Statute 720.30851 - Estoppel Certificates This is a homeowners association law granting a homeowners association authority to issue estoppel certificates, as well as charge fees for such issuance. The problem is that as mentioned above, the covenants and restrictions have ceased to exist. This means that there is no legal basis for the HOA to insist that a parcel owner has an outstanding debt to the association and would be liable to the corporation in the future and interject themselves into a financial transaction to which they are not party to.
Florida 720.3085 - Payment for assessments; lien claims. It has come to my attention that the HOA has threatened the tenants of parcel owners in Lime Tree demanding rent payments be made directly to the HOA. This is illegal in so many different ways. There are no covenants on the property forcing membership, they have not followed the process of filing a lien on the property, and since the HOA was technically not a HOA as defined by law, they lacked the legal authority to file a lien from the start! And they have done all this knowing that there are no covenants on the property giving them the right to do so.
Florida Statute 617.0834 - Officers and directors of certain corporations and associations not for profit; immunity from civil liability. Because the HOA's Board of Directors and their attorney have been thuroughly informed of the law, the individual board members may be held personally liable for their actions because of this statute that states the following: (1) An officer or director of a nonprofit organization recognized under s. 501(c)(3) or s. 501(c)(4) or s. 501(c)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or of an agricultural or a horticultural organization recognized under s. 501(c)(5), of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, is not personally liable for monetary damages to any person for any statement, vote, decision, or failure to take an action, regarding organizational management or policy by an officer or director, unless: 3. Recklessness or an act or omission that was committed in bad faith or with malicious purpose or in a manner exhibiting wanton and willful disregard of human rights, safety, or property. (2) For the purposes of this section, the term: (a) "Recklessness" means the acting, or omission to act, in conscious disregard of a risk: 1. Known, or so obvious that it should have been known, to the officer or director; and 2. Known to the officer or director, or so obvious that it should have been known, to be so great as to make it highly probable that harm would follow from such action or omission.
Federal Law: Fair Debt Collections Practices Act (FDCPA) §807 - False or misleading representations Because the law offices for the HOA were acting as a debt collector, by ignoring the fact that the covenants and restrictions have expired and that the HOA has lost any legal authority to collect alleged debts, the continued pursuit in debt collection by the HOA's representatives, especially when knowing the governing documents expired, now involves fraudulent and deceptive methods to collect, such as claiming the covenants and restrictions are still intact and that the homeowner has a responsibility to pay.
Florida §817.061 - Misleading Solicitation of Payments Prohibited The HOA lacks assessment authority because the covenants expired due to the Marketable Record Title Act. Because the HOA has insisted that money is owed to them and have sent out "invoices," they have acted criminally by soliciting payment intended to mislead homeowners by mailing something that could be reasonably considered an invoice.
Federal Law: Mail Fraud - 18 US Code Chapter 63 By mailing deceptive "invoices," using an instrument of interstate commerce, the HOA had violated federal law by using the federal mail in a swindle.

Why is it not always possible to get pregnant during ovulation?
When a couple starts planning to conceive a baby, the first few unsuccessful attempts can cause a lot of questions — why pregnancy does not occur, because partners try to conduct sexual acts during this, the most favorable fertile female period. In fact, this is a normal situation, the reasons for which may be quite natural. But also pathological prerequisites are not excluded.
Ovulation is a short period of the female menstrual cycle when a Mature egg comes out of the dominant follicle into the fallopian tube. A set of germ cells in an immature state in girls is available even when the baby is in the womb. Then, during life, part of the first — order oocytes die, and part is spent on ensuring the cyclical work of the female body. Each month, one (rarely more) follicles ripen, which break in the middle of the cycle under the influence of hormones, releasing an oocyte ready for fertilization by a sperm.
Ovulation lasts about an hour, and then for another day the egg retains the ability to be fertilized.
If during these days the meeting with the male sex cell does not occur, the oocyte dies, descends into the uterus and comes out with menstrual bleeding along with endometrial particles that have grown under the influence of progesterone in the second phase of the female cycle in anticipation of a fertilized egg.
Female fertility (the ability to reproduce) is largely due to the ovulatory process, and the probability of conceiving a child on the days of ovulation is maximum. But the maximum is not 100%. According to who, female fertility during ovulation depends on age, its highest value is no more than 33% in women under 25 years of age, no more than 25% in women under 30 years of age. Reproductologists say that these figures are somewhat inflated, and the real probability of conceiving a child for the first time in one cycle in healthy women and men does not exceed 11% at the age of 20-25 years. Naturally, after 35 years, the probability does not exceed 4-7%, and after 40 years — 3%.
This is due to the deterioration of the genetic material of the female germ cells, and if the partner is age-related, then his germ cells are probably not of excellent quality. These statistics are not a cause for concern. About 60% of married couples get pregnant safely within six months, and another 30% of couples see positive pregnancy test results within a year.
In about 25% of cases, even if sexual intercourse was performed exactly during the fertile window, conception does not occur, and the reasons for this have not yet been established by geneticists and doctors. In addition, in almost half of cases of family infertility, poor sperm quality plays a decisive role.
Conditions for successful conception
To find the answer to the question of why a woman can not get pregnant during ovulation with the first or second baby, you need to make sure that the couple correctly approaches planning and meets all the conditions for successful conception.
A woman is ovulating
The fact is that every lady in the course of life there are "empty" anovulatory cycles. The older a woman gets, the greater the number of such cycles per year (compare — in 20 years, anovulatory cycles are usually 1-2 per year, and in 35 years — up to 5-6). Ovulation can also occur late or earlier, and this scenario can be triggered by stress, a cold, a trip, or a flight.
In order to answer the question of whether the egg is released at all, you can use home ovulation tests: when they show two stripes, it's time to start active actions.
The accuracy of home tests is lower than laboratory tests, and you can visit a doctor to do an ovarian ultrasound on day 5-6 of the cycle immediately after your period. And closer to the middle of the cycle, you can do a blood test for luteinizing hormone. Its sharp jump indicates the approach of ovulation.
The man is healthy and capable of conception
A simple analysis — spermogram will help significantly reduce the time and nervous costs when planning a baby. If the quality of a man's germ cells leaves much to be desired, the probability of fertilization is significantly reduced, and the risk of conceiving a child with genetic abnormalities or chromosomal errors increases.
In this case, you first need to improve the quality of sperm by taking vitamins, giving up bad habits, visiting the bath and sauna. And only after three months (this is how long spermatogenesis lasts) to start the exciting process of "catching" ovulation.
Sexual acts occur during the fertile window
Spermatozoa live longer than the egg (up to 3-4 days), they are quite capable of "waiting" for the egg to come out already in the fallopian tube, and therefore it is recommended to start having sex 3-4 days before ovulation and do it a day later up to 2-3 days after ovulation, refusing to use contraception, douching, and lubricants.
With moderate frequency of sexual contact, a man's sperm will be of optimal quality, which will help to conceive a baby faster.
The couple is in the right psychological state
Any stress increases the production of stress hormones, which partially block the production of sex hormones. That is why it is often impossible to get pregnant, even if the sperm is of normal quality and ovulation is present. Doctors have long noticed that conception occurs most quickly in the first year of a couple's life together, while the feelings are fresh. If you turn sexual acts into a sports attraction with the sole purpose of conceiving, the probability of successful conception decreases.
A woman who every month with trepidation waits for two stripes on the test, can not be distracted by anything else, switch, is in a state of chronic stress, and the probability of conception itself becomes several orders of magnitude lower.
Possible reasons for the lack of conception
A variety of factors can affect the ability of male and female cells to merge, and not all of them have been studied in detail by doctors and scientists. But even those that are known are quite enough to understand that conception is a delicate matter.
It's mostly about the health of the partners. A woman's probability of conception is reduced not only by age, but also by bad habits, living in an area with unfavorable environmental factors, working at night, professional contact with radiation, paints and varnishes, and toxins. And even if there is ovulation, it is not a fact that the oocyte will be of good quality and fertilization will be successful.
The male fertility factor can be affected by the habit of wearing tight underwear and trousers, which disrupt blood circulation in the scrotum and increase its temperature. The habit of steaming in the bath, turning on car seat heating also affects the quality of sperm.
We can't even imagine how many conceptions we've missed in our lives! After all, sometimes pregnancy "breaks down" at the very initial stage — the fetal egg cannot descend into the uterus, implantation does not occur, because of a genetic error, it stops developing and growing and dies. In this case, your monthly period may arrive a little late. And a woman will never know that conception did take place.
The reason for the absence of pregnancy with strict adherence to the rules of successful conception can be any gynecological pathology — obstruction of the fallopian tubes, inflammation in the uterus, ovarian dysfunction. Often, doctors also diagnose hormonal infertility, in which the level of hormones in the female body does not allow her to be pregnant (progesterone or estrogen deficiency). Often, ovulation does not occur, and if it does, the level of natural hormonal support may not be sufficient to ensure the survival of the embryo in the very first days after conception.
In men, the cause may be hidden in varicocele, prostatitis, and sexual infections, many of which occur without pronounced symptoms, and therefore can not be immediately noticed by the carrier.
We should also talk about antisperm antibodies that produce the immune system of a man or woman. The immune defense simply perceives spermatozoa as foreign objects, and throws all its forces at their speedy destruction. In this case, sperm die in the body of a man, if he has antisperm antibodies, or die before reaching the egg, if such immune cells are produced in a woman.
The immune system can react to sperm this way for some reasons. For example, a man underwent surgery on the genitals, there was an injury, a bruise of the genitals, and individual germ cells, getting not where they should be, caused an aggressive immune response. In women, this form of infertility develops due to excessive passion for anal sex with ejaculation in the rectum, as well as when swallowing sperm during oral contact. This is one of the most difficult types of infertility to treat.
Whatever your ideas about your own fertility, it's best to start planning a pregnancy by going to the doctor. A woman needs to be examined by a gynecologist, put her own weight in order (even losing 5% of the original body weight increases the likelihood of conception). It is also important for a man to pay attention to his diet, bad habits and make a spermogram.
A simple and quick survey will allow the couple to plan more constructively for adding to the family, to know exactly the "weak" sides of each other. Let's just say that there are almost no insurmountable situations. Even if some abnormalities are detected, in 96% of cases, after correctly selected treatment, the problem is eliminated, and the couple can begin to successfully plan the baby.
The remaining 3% of couples will be helped by methods of assisted reproductive medicine — IVF, ICSI, egg donation, sperm donation.
A trip to a psychotherapist is inevitable in psychogenic infertility, when the cause lies in severe stress, emotions, and fears. After eliminating these feelings, the couple usually manages to conceive a baby without any problems.

Clomid (clomiphene) or nolvadex (tamoxifen), which is better?
In this article, we will try to resolve doubts about the choice between two drugs, as well as find differences: clomid or nolvadex.
Clomiphene citrate (available in pharmacies under the brand name Clomid) and tamoxifen (trade name Nolvadex) are antiestrogens belonging to the same group of triphenylethylenes. They are structurally similar and classified as selective estrogen receptor modulators with mixed agonistic and antagonistic properties. This means that in certain tissues they block the action of estrogen by binding to receptors, while in other tissues they can act like real estrogen by activating receptors. In men, both drugs act as antiestrogens in their ability to interfere with the negative feedback of estrogens to the hypothalamus and stimulate increased production of GnRH (gonadoliberin). As a result, the production of the luteinizing hormone prolactin and the follicle-stimulating hormone by the pituitary gland will be increased, which in turn can increase the production of testosterone by the testicles. Both drugs do this, but for some reason, bodybuilders continue to think that only clomid is good for stimulating testosterone.
Research conducted in the late 70s at the University of Ghent in Belgium clarifies the benefits of nolvadex over clomid in increasing testosterone levels. The researchers looked at the effect of nolvadex and clomid on the endocrine system of healthy men, as well as those who suffered from a small number of sperm (oligospermia). It was also found that Nolvadex, when used for 10 days at a dosage of 20 mg per day, increased serum testosterone levels by 142% from the initial level, which was comparable to the effect of 150 mg of clomid per day over the same time period (the increase in testosterone levels was slightly, but not significantly, more with clomid). We must remember that this is the effect of three 50mg clomid tablets. With approximately the same price of 50mg of clomid and 20mg of nolvadex, we already see a difference in the price / result ratio in favor of nolvadex.
Differences between clomid and nolvadex
Clomid acts on estrogen receptors in the pituitary gland and ovaries. By binding estrogen receptors in the pituitary gland, clomid breaks the negative feedback mechanism, i.e. if usually estrogens, acting on the pituitary gland, reduce the production of FSH and LH, this does not happen when taking clomid. Clomid does not directly affect the level of estrogens in the blood.
Nolvadex also does not affect the level of estrogens in the blood, because its mechanism of action is also reduced to the blockade of estrogen receptors, including in the pituitary gland. However, clomid is a more selective (selective) blocker, while nolvadex is less selective. While clomid binds to estrogen receptors primarily in the pituitary gland and testicles, nolvadex binds to them almost throughout the body. The exception is bone tissue, where clomid and tamoxifen, on the contrary, activate estrogen receptors.
Thus, clomid acts as an antagonist of estrogens and eliminates their depressing effect on the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, contributing to a faster recovery of their function. Nolvadex blocks receptors in almost all tissues, and also helps the body begin to restore its own testosterone. It is important to note that nolvadex is able to block estrogen receptors in the pituitary gland to a lesser extent than clomid.
Clomiphene and tamoxifen do not affect the metabolism of estrogenic hormones, so against the background of taking these drugs, estrogens continue to be destroyed by liver enzymes, and do not accumulate in the body.
Tamoxifen has disadvantages: it is quite toxic (sometimes it is manifested by loss of appetite and nausea, and the risk of thrombosis increases). Tamoxifen increases the number of progesterone receptors, so it can not be used if the course is based on progestin drugs (nandrolone, trenbolone). In this case, you should use clomiphene.
Clomid: common fault
Both drugs inhibit the production of insulin-like growth factor-1
Directly inhibit the function of the testicles
Increase sex hormone binding globulin
Increase the concentration of estrogens several times
Cause visual impairment with prolonged use
In some cases, when using Clomid for a month at a dosage of 25 mg per day, after 2 weeks after the end of the course, there was a decrease in total testosterone by 16-17% (while there was a decrease in estradiol by 13.5%)
It is important to understand that in some people, the pituitary-hypothalamus-testicular arch (GGT) may not respond to stimulation with Clomid (clomiphene) or nolvadex (tamoxifen)
It is most rational to use aromatase inhibitors during the course, among which Proviron is especially popular, since this drug does not negatively affect the secretion of growth hormone and increases the concentration of anabolic hormones in the blood by suppressing aromatization. In the last week of the course and 2 weeks after, Tamoxifen should be used as the main component of PCT in the absence of Proviron, the start of Nolvadex administration falls on the 2nd week of the steroid cycle, and ends 2-3 weeks after the end of the cycle, the average dose is 10-20 mg per day. I would like to pay special attention to the common misconception that antiestrogens are recommended to drink after a cycle. The level of estrogens increases at the end of the first week of the cycle, so it is from this moment that you need to start taking!

About ovulation tests
All couples who want to have a child know that you can only conceive a child on the day of ovulation. Gynecologists say that ovulation occurs in the female body from about 12 to 16 days of the cycle. However, due to some reasons (stress, climate change, hormonal failures, etc.), ovulation may shift for several days, and occur at the beginning of the cycle, or at the end of the cycle. In addition, the time of follicle development may differ not only in several different women, but even in the same one — in different cycles. This is confirmed by the planning moms themselves, who determine ovulation by tests over several cycles. So how do you determine the right day for conception, how do ovulation tests work? Now we will talk about this in detail.
How ovulation tests work
Each menstrual cycle, a woman Matures one, two or more follicles in the ovaries. As the follicle Matures, female hormones called estrogens are produced in the cells of the follicle. The larger the follicle becomes, the more estrogen its cells produce. The high content of estrogen stimulates a sharp increase in the content of luteinizing hormone, which causes the egg to literally break through the ovarian wall within one to two days after a sharp rise in its level. When the level of these estrogens reaches a level that will be sufficient for ovulation, luteinizing hormone (abbreviated as LH) is released. A small amount of LH is always present in the urine, but 24-36 hours before ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary), its concentration increases sharply.
To fertilize an egg, sperm must enter the female body at about the same time as the egg leaves the follicle. It may seem that this is easy to achieve, but we must remember that the egg after leaving the follicle lives for only 24 hours, and the sperm remain able to fertilize it for 3-4 days, less often a week. Thus, sex should occur at the appropriate time, i.e. at ovulation, if the couple is planning to conceive. Without tests, this can sometimes be difficult to achieve.
What day should I start testing?
This day depends on the duration of the menstrual cycle. The first day of the cycle is considered the day when menstruation began. Cycle length — the number of days that have passed from the first day of the last menstruation to the first day of the next. If you have a constant cycle, it is better to start doing tests 17 days before the start of the next menstruation. For example, if your normal cycle length is 34 days, then you should start testing from day 18.
If the normal length of your cycle is 28 days, then you should start testing on the 11th day. If your cycle duration is different, select the shortest cycle for the last 6 months and use its duration to calculate the day when to start testing. To start testing, it is not superfluous to visit an ultrasound, after which, after making sure that the follicle has reached 18-20 mm, you can start testing every day. For convenience, ovulation tests are not sold in a single version, but in the amount of 5, 7 or 10 pieces. For accurate results, it is better to use tests 2 times a day (morning and evening).
When is the best time to use an ovulation test?
The best time for testing is from 10 am to 8 PM, this is the time when LH is produced, so you should stick to this time of the test. At the same time, you should refrain from urinating for at least 3 hours before the test. Avoid excessive fluid intake before starting testing, as this may lead to a decrease in the concentration of LH in the urine and reduce the reliability of the result.
How to perform an ovulation test correctly?
If you are using a digital ovulation test, remove it from the packaging, remove the cap, and place the tip of the test strip in the device module, following the arrows. If everything is done correctly, you will hear a click, and a ready indicator will appear on the test.
It is not recommended to perform the test until it lights up. Collect the urine in a jar and immerse the absorbent end of the test in the urine for 15 seconds. Place the receiver on a flat, dry, clean horizontal surface. Wait 4-5 minutes. The ready symbol will start flashing on the device, and you can see the result on the display in a few minutes.
If you use a test strip, then you need to open the bag, get the strip and lower it into a pre-prepared container with urine. The test strip should be lowered for 10-20 seconds to the specified "Max" mark. Next, the test strip should be placed on a flat surface. The result should be evaluated at room temperature in 5 minutes, but not later than 10 minutes after the start of the procedure. The test strip is only used for one-time use.
Digital ovulation test results
To determine the exact result, compare the color intensity (lighter or darker) of the test strip with the control strip. The digital ovulation test is convenient for recognizing the result, which can be one of three and is indicated on the screen.
An empty circle indicates that there is no LH release yet, or its presence is insignificant and you need to continue monitoring the surge using tests.
Smiley-indicates the highest PH value. The cell is already on its way or about to be released. Sexual acts can be safely planned for this and the next day.
The results of the test strips for ovulation
First, it is important to determine which line on the test is the control line and which is the test line. The control card always appears, regardless of the presence of ovulation, it shows that the test is correct and the test was performed correctly. The test line (second) indicates the presence of LH in the urine.
Look at the test, if there is a second pale bar — the test is negative, the release of LH has not yet occurred, and testing needs to continue. If, after testing correctly for several days, you have not found the second bright stripe, then the cycle is anovulatory. There are several reasons for this: stressful situations, sudden climate change, the use of powerful medications, the postpartum period, breast-feeding, premenopause, active physical activity, etc.
A positive test is a bright stripe the same as the control one or even brighter. A positive test means that you will ovulate within 24-36 hours.
The most appropriate time for conception begins from the moment when You have determined that the release of LH has already occurred. In this case, the release of LH occurred on the 15th day of the cycle and if sexual intercourse occurs in the next two days, the chance of getting pregnant will be maximum. Once you have determined that the release of LH has already occurred, there is no need to continue testing, the tests will start to fade.

Signs and symptoms of ovulation, feelings of a woman (part 2)
Today we publish the continuation of the article "Signs and symptoms of ovulation, feelings of a woman", the first part can be read here
The feeling after ovulation
Some women, especially those who use the calendar method of pregnancy prevention, are interested in symptoms after ovulation. This is how women calculate "safe" days for unwanted pregnancies. These signs are very unusual and may coincide with the early symptoms of pregnancy:
As soon as the egg is released from the main follicle and dies (its life span is 24, maximum 48 hours), the discharge from the genital tract also changes. Vaginal whites lose their transparency, become milky, possibly interspersed with small lumps, sticky and poorly drawn.
Within one to two days after ovulation, discomfort and minor pain in the lower abdomen disappear.
Gradually, sexual desire also fades, since now it makes no sense for spermatozoa to meet with an egg, it has already died.
Basal temperature
If the basal temperature is significantly higher than 37 degrees at the moment of rupture of the Graaf vesicle, then after ovulation it decreases by several tenths of a degree, although it remains above the 37 degree mark. This sign is unreliable, since even with conception, the basal temperature will be above the 37-degree mark. The only difference is that by the end of the second phase (before the start of menstruation), the temperature will drop to 37 degrees or lower.
On the eve and at the time of ovulation, hormonal changes occur in the body, which affects the condition of the skin of the face – acne appears. Once ovulation is complete, the rash gradually disappears.
Ultrasound data
Ultrasound allows you to identify the dominant follicle that has fallen due to the rupture, a small amount of fluid in the post-uterine space, and later the yellow body that is forming. Ultrasound data are most significant in the case of dynamic research (maturation of follicles, determination of the dominant follicle and its subsequent rupture).
Calendar method for determining ovulation
Ovulation is the release of a Mature egg from the ovary. The egg Matures during the menstrual cycle, which is necessary for the preparation of the uterus and the maturation of the egg, the result of which is ovulation. To determine ovulation using the calendar method, you need to know your menstrual cycle for the last few months. Knowing the cycle, you can calculate its length, i.e. the period from the beginning of one month to the beginning of the next. From the total duration of the cycle, 14 days are subtracted. So, if the cycle is 28 days, then subtracting 14 days, we get the 14th day of the cycle, in which the egg can be released from the ovary. For conception during the week before and after ovulation, the couple is recommended to have an active sexual life, preferably with breaks of 1-2 days, in order to have time to Mature the sperm. As already calculated above, the release of a Mature egg occurs somewhere in the middle of the menstrual cycle.
However, every woman may have ovulation shifts a few days later, this may be due to infectious pathologies of the reproductive system; excessive physical exertion; stress and hormonal disorders.
Among the causes of early ovulation, the following can be distinguished: disorders in the balance of estrogen and progesterone hormone; disorders in the adrenal cortex; colds and flu diseases, etc. Such factors may well trigger the onset of early ovulation. In addition, each cause can affect other systems of the female body. Therefore, to avoid this, it is recommended to avoid such factors that may affect ovulation and, as a result, the bearing of a child in the future. Premature ovulation is dangerous if it repeatedly occurs in the female body, in this case, the reasons lie in hormonal failures and other various abnormalities, a woman may need gynecological intervention. In addition, it is possible that pregnancy will not occur for a long time, if only the couple focuses on the middle of the cycle. Or, on the contrary, the onset of an unwanted pregnancy, if the woman is not protected at the beginning of the cycle, again using the calendar method. Over the course of a woman's life, ovulatory shifts in different directions are periodically observed, so there may be a late release of the egg.
The reasons for late ovulation lie in the following: hormonal disorders in the body; lack of weight, because lack of adipose tissue negatively affects the production of estrogen, provoking a delay in maturation and exit of the female cell; taking emergency contraceptives in the past; gynecological pathologies, infections and lack of menstruation, are also characteristic companions of late egg release. To restore the cycle, a woman needs to undergo a full examination, after which appropriate treatment is prescribed.
After accurate compliance with all medical recommendations, ovulatory processes are normalized, the cycle is restored and a long-awaited pregnancy occurs.
Determination of ovulation by basal body temperature
Basal temperature measurements are performed in the morning, however, it is not advisable to get out of bed before measuring, so prepare a thermometer in the evening. To measure the temperature, you can use both a simple mercury thermometer and an electronic one. Carefully insert the thermometer into the rectum and hold it there for five to seven minutes. Record the measured temperature in the table every day, except for days when a woman has her period. After taking measurements throughout the cycle, you need to build a graph. To build a table, you can specify the days of temperature measurement on the top, and on the left, specify the possible BTT on these days. At the junction of the lines, put points that are connected by a straight line.
On days when there is a sharp increase in body temperature, after its rapid decrease, and ovulation occurs. This jump is explained by the fact that during ovulation, the hormone progesterone is actively produced, which affects the thermoregulation center in the brain. It is its increase that leads to fluctuations in BTT, which increases sharply after the release of a Mature egg. If you notice strong, atypical changes in temperature, or it does not change at all, you need to see a doctor to find the cause, which may be due to estrogen deficiency or other factors. It is easy to create a basal temperature chart using special applications that are placed on some women's websites or in applications.
This method is available, but not 100% reliable, because there is not always time to measure the temperature, you can also just forget about the measurement, missed days can significantly change the picture and schedule of building the BTT
In addition, factors such as medication, sexual intercourse, climate change, stress, etc. can affect the usual and normal schedule for building BTT. Therefore, for greater confidence in determining day X, an ovulation test that is sold at any pharmacy can help.

For the early onset of pregnancy, it is important to know and be able to determine the days when ovulation occurs, since the conception of a child occurs on such days. This article will describe how to determine the onset of ovulation.
Ovulation is the process of leaving a Mature and fertilized egg from the ovary. The menstrual cycle of a woman is so arranged that in its first phase there is maturation of follicles and eggs in them (normally it is one or two eggs), which at the time of ovulation come out and are ready for fertilization. With the help of the fallopian tube, they enter the uterine cavity, where they merge with the spermatozoa. If this does not happen, then the egg dies, and the second phase of the cycle will help to remove it and prepare the uterine cavity and endometrium for the next attempt.
For the early onset of pregnancy, it is important to know and be able to determine the days when ovulation occurs, since the conception of a child occurs on such days.
The egg Matures during the menstrual cycle, which is necessary for the preparation of the uterus and the maturation of the egg, the result of which is ovulation. To determine ovulation using the calendar method, you need to know your menstrual cycle for the last few months. Knowing the cycle, you can calculate its length, i.e. the interval from the beginning of one month to the beginning of the next.
14 days are subtracted from the total duration of the cycle. So, if the cycle is 28 days, then taking away 14 days, we get 14 days of the cycle, in which the egg can exit the ovary. For conception within a week before ovulation and after it, the couple is recommended to have an active sexual life, preferably with breaks of 1-2 days, in order to have time to Mature the spermatozoa. As already calculated above, the release of a Mature egg occurs somewhere in the middle of the menstrual cycle.
Ovulation is the only day when you can get pregnant, without it, the onset of pregnancy is impossible. This is a very fast phase, which ends immediately after the release of a Mature egg from the follicle.
The ovulation cycle is usually divided into several periods: preovulation, ovulation itself, and postovulation. Nature created man so that he could have at least a day to conceive before or after ovulation. Why so? all because if the onset of pregnancy was possible only during ovulation, then there would be much more problems with infertility, and thanks to some life of the egg after ovulation, this period increases, which makes it possible for couples to fertilize and reproduce. In all women who are of reproductive age, there is a fertile period, which implies the time of pregnancy. This time falls on the ovulation itself and 3 days before and 2 days after it. This period is associated with the life of a sperm that lives in a woman's body for up to five days.
Ovulation in women of childbearing age occurs periodically (every 21-35 days). The frequency of ovulation is regulated by neurohumoral mechanisms, mainly gonadotropins of the anterior pituitary and ovarian follicular hormone. Ovulation is facilitated by the accumulation of follicular fluid and thinning of ovarian tissue located above the protruding pole of the follicle. The constant ovulation rhythm for each woman undergoes changes within 3 months after abortion, within a year after delivery, and after 40 years, when the body is preparing for the pre-menopausal period. Ovulation stops with the onset of pregnancy and after the extinction of menstrual function. Setting the ovulation period is important when choosing the most effective time for fertilization, artificial insemination, and in vitro fertilization.
To determine the day of ovulation, knowledge of its signs will help, for which it is necessary to treat your body with great attention. Of course, ovulation can not always be suspected, because its manifestations are very subjective and sometimes go unnoticed by a woman. But the changes in the hormonal background that occur every month allow you to "calculate" and remember the sensations during ovulation and compare them with the new ones.
Subjective signs
The subjective signs of ovulation are those that a woman feels and only she can tell about. Another name for subjective signs is sensations:
One of the first signs of ovulation is considered to be pain in the lower abdomen. On the eve of the rupture of the follicle, a woman may feel, but not necessarily, a slight tingling in the lower abdomen, often on the right or left. This indicates a maximally enlarged and strained dominant follicle that is about to burst. After its rupture, a small wound of several millimeters remains on the ovary shell, which also bothers the woman. This is manifested by minor aching or pulling pains or discomfort in the lower abdomen. Such sensations disappear after a couple of days, but if the pain has not passed or is so acute that it violates the usual lifestyle, you should consult a doctor (ovarian apoplexy is possible).
Mammary glands
There may be soreness or hypersensitivity in the mammary glands, which is associated with hormonal restructuring. FSH production stops and LH synthesis begins, which is reflected in the breast. It is swollen and rough and becomes very sensitive to touch.
Another characteristic subjective sign of approaching and coming ovulation is an increase in libido (sexual desire), which is also due to hormonal changes. It is so predetermined by nature that it ensures the continuation of the genus – once the egg is ready for fertilization, it means that you need to strengthen your sexual desire to increase the probability of sexual contact and subsequent pregnancy.
Aggravation of sensations
On the eve and during ovulation, a woman notes an aggravation of all sensations (increased sensitivity to odors, changes in color perception and taste), which is also explained by hormonal changes. Emotional lability and sudden mood changes (from irritability to fun, from tears to laughter) are not excluded.
Objective sign
Cervix uteri
During the gynecological examination in the ovulatory phase, the doctor may note that the cervix has softened somewhat, the cervical canal has opened slightly, and the neck itself has lifted up.
Oedemata
Swelling of the limbs, most often the legs, indicates a change in the production of FSH to the production of LH and is visible not only to the woman herself, but also to her relatives and the doctor.
Excreta
When ovulation changes its character and vaginal discharge. If in the first phase of the cycle a woman does not notice spots on her underwear, which is associated with a thick plug that clogs the cervical canal and prevents infectious agents from entering the uterine cavity, then in the ovulatory stage, the discharge changes. The mucus in the cervical canal is liquefied and becomes viscous and viscous, which is necessary to facilitate the penetration of spermatozoa into the uterine cavity. In appearance, the neck mucus resembles egg white, stretches up to 7-10 cm and leaves noticeable spots on the underwear.
This symptom can only be detected by a woman who regularly keeps a schedule of basal temperature. On the eve of ovulation, there is a slight (0.1-0.2 degrees) decrease in temperature, and during the rupture of the follicle and after the temperature rises and remains above 37 degrees.
What does ovulation feel like?
What does a woman feel during ovulation? Every woman who carefully monitors her female health can clearly tell the time when ovulation is approaching and when it occurs. Among the signs that indicate the approach of ovulation, highlight the nature of the discharge – they become thick, abundant and transparent. Additional symptoms include:
discomfort in the lower abdomen
breast swelling, mild soreness
an increase in basal temperature, if its schedule is determined by a woman
sexual desire reaches its maximum
Fortunately, the severity of clinical symptoms of ovulation in most women is so minimal that they do not attach importance to them. Others also note during this period of pain in the lower abdomen on one side, which indicates which ovary ovulated, heaviness in the lower back, which independently disappear after a short period of time. And only a small percentage of women note a pronounced pain symptom that forces them to seek medical help.
We have discussed how to determine ovulation by feeling a little, but it is important to remember that not all women observe such symptoms and this does not allow us to talk about the lack of ovulation in them, because their pain threshold is so high that they level these feelings. You can reliably confirm the presence of ovulation only by measuring basal temperature, conducting ovulation tests, or using ultrasound, which determines the observation of the growth of follicles and the exit from the dominant egg, as well as a sharp change in vaginal secretions allows you to judge the onset or approach of ovulation.
The duration of ovulation
Every woman who plans to give birth to a child should know how many days ovulation lasts in women and by what methods it can be calculated. Ovulation itself involves the release of an egg, ready for fertilization, from the dominant follicle, which breaks under the influence of hormones and in its place a yellow body is formed.
How many days is ovulation in women and how to determine it? All women are interested in this issue at the stage of pregnancy planning, especially if the process of fertilization does not occur for a long time. Everyone knows that pregnancy requires ovulation, and the time of its onset falls in the middle of the menstrual cycle. But, unfortunately, not every woman has a regular menstrual cycle, which allows you to determine its time of onset. Almost every woman who is of reproductive age can become pregnant in the middle of the menstrual cycle for several days. To calculate the time of ovulation you need to use several methods:
the standard method is that after two weeks from the first day of menstruation, the probability of ovulation increases, but this is not for everyone. This method works if the menstrual cycle lasts 28 days. If the cycle is longer, then the onset of ovulation occurs later.
measurement of basal temperature from the first day of the cycle in compliance with all the requirements, because during ovulation in the body there is a hormonal adjustment, which is characterized by an increase in temperature on the graph and indirectly indicates ovulation. This method can be judged after several months of observation. The onset of the upcoming ovulation can be judged by a sharp decrease in temperature due to hormonal imbalance and its subsequent increase above 37 degrees
ovulatory tests make it possible to study ovulation for several days, which is very important when planning a pregnancy
Ovulation lasts on average from 16 to 32 hours, but this is the time of the fertile window, that is, the time when it is possible to fertilize the egg and the onset of pregnancy. The release of a Mature egg itself lasts from a few minutes to a dozen minutes, which was noticed during IVF.
To determine how long ovulation lasts in women, you can use its characteristic signs: increased libido, swelling and swelling of the mammary glands, discomfort in the lower abdomen and lower back, more on the one hand, abundant mucous discharge, sometimes with streaks of blood.
How long ovulation takes depends on the lifetime of the germ cells. A Mature egg that has emerged from the follicle can be fertilized within one or two days, which is always individual. Therefore, if a woman has symptoms of ovulation on one day, then the next two days may also be the onset of ovulation, as well as sexual intercourse three days before it often leads to the onset of pregnancy, because the sperm lives about three days.
How many days is ovulation — each woman can determine by clinical symptoms, and if the vaginal discharge disappears or becomes too thick, pain and swelling of the mammary glands disappear, then we can say that it has passed, and the probability of pregnancy is not.
The period of ovulation in women can fluctuate with inflammatory processes in the reproductive system, with eating disorders, significant physical and mental loads, with severe stress and nervous shocks, with a sharp change in climatic conditions of residence, as well as with active sexual life.
Do not forget that the body can have both early ovulation and late ovulation. Early ovulation is characterized by its early onset and is associated with frequent sexual acts, significant physical activity, strict diets, as well as the presence of diseases that can affect the hormonal background of a woman. Sometimes ovulation comes late, which can also be determined using the tests and techniques that we discussed a little earlier. Due to the presence of ovulation and the regularity of the menstrual cycle, it is possible to indirectly judge a woman's reproductive age, her probability of pregnancy and gestation. Many women, knowing when they are ovulating, plan a pregnancy or carefully protect themselves from it. The absence of ovulation for 2 or 3 cycles indicates a violation of reproductive health and requires medical attention to correct the hormonal background.

Clomid: instructions for use of tablets
Clomid is a non-steroidal medicinal product belonging to the group of antiestrogens. It has a dose-dependent effect on the pituitary gland, which is responsible for the production of sex hormones. The drug is used not only in reproductive medicine, but also in sports and bodybuilding to restore the body's ability to produce its own hormones.
Clomid: Indications for use
Clomid was developed for:
Stimulation of ovulation in women suffering from anovulatory cycle
Elimination of amenorrhea caused by insufficient gonadotropin production
Treatment of androgen deficiency in men and oligospermia
Diagnostics of the causes of violation of the gonadotropic function of the brain (pituitary).
In addition, Clomid is actively used in bodybuilding and sports to normalize the body's work on the production of endogenous hormones after a course of steroids. This application is not provided by the manufacturers of the drug, but is the result of personal experience of men engaged in body building. Therefore, few doctors will be able to advise and prescribe a remedy for this purpose.
Medical property
The active component of Clomid is clomiphene citrate, which belongs to the group of antiestrogenic agents. Use in small doses leads to increased production of gonadotropins: prolactin and hormones with follicle-stimulating and luteinizing effects, which contributes to ovulation.
If the body's estrogen content is low, Clomid has a moderate estrogenic effect, and in the case of a high content – antiestrogenic. Taking large doses activates the production of gonadotropins.
The dosage of clomid tablets depends on the purpose of the drug. Clomid regimen for infertility problems:
To stimulate ovulation, the instructions for use recommend that women take 50 mg daily (before bedtime). Therapy begins on the 5th day of the monthly cycle. The course is 5 days. If there is no effect, repeat the drug administration (up to 3-6 courses), increasing the dosage to 150 mg or extending the duration of therapy, bringing the course to 10 days. At the same time, it is important not to exceed the total dose for the entire cycle of administration-1 g of the active substance.
Infertility in men. Representatives of the stronger sex, experiencing problems with spermatogenesis, it is recommended to take 1-2 times a day for 50 mg. During the course for men, it is mandatory to check the spermogram.
How to take Clomid on PCT
The scheme of recovery with Clomid after a course of steroids depends on its duration and the number of stimulants taken. The higher the dosage of steroids and the longer the cycle lasted, the longer it will take to return the body's functions to normal.
After the ultralight course: 15 days of 50 mg, then the next 15 days of 25 mg
After a light course: 15 days. X 50 mg, 15 days. X 25 mg, 15 times (1 time in 2 days) 25 mg
After moderate intake: 30 days. X 50 mg, 15 days. X 25 mg
After intensive administration: 15 days. X 100 mg, 15 days. X 50 mg, 15 days. X 25 mg
After overdose: 3 days. X 150 mg, 12 days. X 100 mg, 15 days. X 50 mg, 15 days. X 25 mg.
To restore the production of their own testosterone, other drugs are also used-antiestrogens. What works best depends on many factors. Basically, several pairs of drugs are compared:
Clomid or Tamoxifen? The competing drugs are similar in structure, but the latter drug is stronger. Therefore, it takes less to restore testosterone. However, it is considered that the described remedy is the best choice for PCT after taking progestins.
Proviron or Clomid? Both medications have an anti-estrogenic effect, but each of them in its own way. The difference is as follows: Clomid stimulates tissues to release hormones, which increases the level of endogenous testosterone, and Proviron suppresses the enzymes responsible for the transformation of steroid hormones into estrogens. Due to this, the process slows down, which leads to the accumulation of testosterone in the plasma. But the effect is temporary, so after some time, the level of the male hormone will fall again.
Should I drink Clomid on a course of steroids
While taking anabolics, the level of androgens is extremely high, and therefore the body does not need to synthesize its own substances. The hypothalamus stops giving commands to the pituitary gland to produce hormones. As long as the concentration in the body of substances received from outside is maximum, Clomid will not be able to stimulate the body. The drug can only be taken during a steroid cycle as an anti-estrogenic agent.
The drug is prohibited for pregnant and nursing mothers. Women of reproductive age should make sure that there is no pregnancy if Clomid is prescribed.
Clomid precautionary measures
The use of the drug should only take place under the constant supervision of specialists.
The drug stimulates superovulation, which creates favorable conditions for the development of multiple pregnancies.
If ovulation is assumed to have taken place after the reception, but menstruation has not occurred, you should check the woman for pregnancy. Repeated administration of tablets can be carried out only after confirmation of the absence of conception.
Pills can cause decreased mindfulness, drowsiness, and slow reactions. At the time of admission, you should refrain from potentially dangerous activities: driving vehicles or operating complex mechanisms.
Like any medicine, Clomid should not be taken with alcohol, so as not to reduce its effect.
