Need more traffic to your site?
How do I improve my search engine rankings?
Fair enough! We all want to see our sites adorn the coveted top rungs of Google search lists. We want more visitors coming in to view our websites. But, before running around in a frenzy, gathering shortcuts to steer in the traffic, have you ever stopped to think if you are really ready for all the attention? Is your site really prepared to greet the crowd that will ebb in?
Everyone wants more traffic to their websites. But what most people fail to understand is, the whole idea of driving in the traffic can in fact back fire and even prove to be lethal to you, if you do not do your ground work carefully!
Your website is a reflection of what you and your business stand for. It is a projection of your company's image, and how you go about your business. When a well-maintained, relevant and up to date website will convey a positive picture of a flourishing business, an outdated site just about projects the opposite picture.
If you are unclear about your strategy or if there is an internal conflict within your organization regarding the marketing strategy, then your website is sure to reflect this. In fact it will scream this out to your clients and your competitors, and you would successfully have dug a hole for yourself.
I shall illustrate my point with a story. One of our clients recently hired a young gun who would just not be told how to operate as a salesman. After several futile sessions to educate him on the company objectives, off marched the fella, armed with a few leads that our clients managed to drive in, and topped up with quite a few of his own, expecting to bring in the crowd overnight.
Well, you guessed it right, not only did the overzealous young man fail miserably in his venture, but he managed to make a good mess of the project, tarnishing the very image of the company. However, to everyone's surprise, the guy came back with promises of setting everything right and asking for more leads this time! Perseverance is indeed a commendable quality. But unfortunately, these are circumstances where it is very difficult to go back and undo mistakes once the damage has been done.
I would say, a bad website is like a bad salesman- Not only does it fail to impress, but it also ends up projecting the wrong image about your business!
The toughest bit in marketing is- once perceptions are set, it is very difficult to build up a completely new "image", and win people over again. I wouldn't say it is impossible. But all the trouble can be easily avoided, if you make sure to put your best foot forward in setting the right stage, at the very outset.
Give visitors the information they're looking for!
No abracadabra, no secret potions and no tricky short cuts. Just make sure you make a straightforward, useful website that communicates effectively, and helps people find what they are looking for- and be assured you are on the right track- all set to welcome the traffic.
That done and audience routed, it will also be well worth the effort to get an assessment on how well your site is performing- how many people visit your site, and how many leads do you get, and the like. With the right marketing strategy and an honest genuine passion for what you are doing, it won't be long before you see these numbers soaring.
It takes passion to run a business, and it is passion that gives the courage to survive all the ups and downs that it entails. Only if you have passion, can you do the right things and win the loyalty of your clients. If your website can succeed in reflecting that passion, your clients are sure to sense it.
So, why don't you just tell them your story!
Tell the story because it is credible. Tell the story because it will reach out to your clients. The clients that have been around the block a bit know that the world is not perfect, but they want to know that you can do the job. They have it in them to know credibility when they see it.
Clients will trust you because you know what you are doing. They come with a question and in no time they have answers. They come back to you because you deliver and make things happen.
Just remember, your website is a window on your organization – it is your shop front. The website exposes all the goodness that you are doing day to day. Rocket science it is not. Do the right things, and you will strike the right cord, and people will want to do business with you.
And if you need any help in making sure your 'shop front' is all decked up to offer your clients a warm welcome, we are just a phone call away. And do remember to join our mailing list and follow our blogs!

title:	Numbers
status:	draft
description:	Groovy supports the various types of numbers that you'd expect - and makes it easy to use them
...

There are two main types of numbers you're likely to need:

* Integers (whole numbers)
* Decimals

>We'll take a quick look at those now but the chapter on data types will really get into the depths of messing around with numbers.

Groovy also gives us scientific notation and other number systems and we'll take a look at how you use them.

# Integers
Integers are whole numbers and can be negative or positive:

```groovy
def age = 27
def coldDay = -8
```

Groovy will also handle very large numbers:

```groovy
// 1 astronomical unit (au)
def distanceEarthToSun = 149597870700
def distanceNeptuneToSun = distanceEarthToSun * 30
```

# Decimals
Decimal numbers provide a fraction and can be negative or positive:

```groovy
def pi = 3.14159

// Measured in celsius
def absoluteZero = -273.15
```

# Scientific notation
Base-10 (decimal) scientific notation ($a * 10^b$) can also be used by placing an `e` or `E` before the exponent:

```groovy
def atomicMass = 1.67e-27
```

The next example sets the `au` variable to 1.49597870700 * 10^11 and then checks to make sure I haven't messed up the exponent:

```groovy
def au = 1.49597870700e11
assert au == 149597870700
```

In the previous two examples you can see a signed (positive or negative) integer as the exponent:

* `e-27` is negatively signed
* `e11` can also be written as `e+11` and is positively signed

>This tutorial will give you an overview that will cover most types of numbers but if you expect to be handling very large or very small numbers and calculations with such numbers then you really need to do some research to make sure you don't become a victim of truncation (where parts of the number are chopped off) and other issues with precision.

# Number Systems

Most of the time we deal with decimal (base-10) numbers but there are other number systems out there. If we want to use the number 15 in base-10 we just type `15` but we can also use:

- Binary (base-2) by prefixing `0b`
	- That's a zero followed by lower-case "b"
- Octal (base-8) by prefixing `0`
	- That's just zero
- Hexadecimal (base-16) by prefixing `0x`
	- That's a zero followed by lower-case "x"

The code below illustrates the many faces of the number 15 (base-10):

```groovy
println 0b1111    //Binary
println 15        //Decimal
println 017       //Octal
println 0xf       //Hexadecimal
```

To help you deal with long numbers Groovy lets you use underscores (`_`) to visually break up the number without changing its value:

```groovy
assert 1_000_000 == 1000000
assert 0b0001_0110_1101 == 365
```

Let's close with a joke:

```groovy
def value = 0b10

println "There are only $value types of people in the world - those who know binary and those who don't"
```

# Useful Methods and Properties

Groovy (Java) numbers trace their lineage (inherit) back to `java.lang.Number`. The `Number` class provides methods to covert between different types of numbers (integer, decimal etc) - we'll cover this in the chapter on Data Types.

Most numerical classes (e.g. `Integer`) provide the handy `max` and `min` methods that let you compare two numbers of the same numerical type:

```groovy
assert Integer.max(10, 2) == 10
assert Integer.min(10, 2) == 2
```

Ford's Latest Electric Mustang Prototype Has Manual Transmission
Beebom Staff - Last Updated: March 22, 2020 11:52 am
Ford showed off a new Mustang all-electric car prototype earlier this week. Named Mustang Lithium, the car packs everything a car enthusiast would love from a muscle car, with a touch of modernity.
First of all, this all-new Mustang Lithium comes with manual transmission. It uses "drag-strip proven Calimer-version of the Getrag MT82 6-speed transmission" which manages to handle the car's 1,000 ft.-lbs. of torque.
In terms of performance, the electric car achieves 900 horsepower from its 800-volt Webasto battery system powered by EVDrive technology. The company claims that 800 volts are almost twice the voltage of most currently available electric cars.
There are three driving modes in the car namely Valet, Sport, Track and Beast. All these can be quickly toggled from the 10.4-inch touchscreen display based on the usage scenario. Take a look at a few images of the Mustang Lithium below.
Unfortunately, Ford has no plans to commercialize this manual transmission beast. The Mustang Lithium is a one-off prototype made to be showcased at Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) trade show in Las Vegas.
"This one-off Mustang prototype is a great opportunity for us, together with Webasto, to showcase to our customers what new electrified powertrains can do for performance in a car they already know and love.", said Hau Thai-Tang, Ford's Chief Product Development and Purchasing Officer.
I hope Ford changes its plans to at least unveil limited-edition models of this electric muscle car for all the muscle car enthusiasts out there.
However, the American automaker's mass-market Mustang-inspired all-electric SUV is coming on November 17. I'm excited to know what Ford has to offer in that to compete against the likes of Tesla's offerings and other EV brands. Are you? Let us know in the comments.

Self-publishing News: Mailchimp Sold for $12billion
Dan Holloway
Self-Publishing News
In this week's Self-Publishing News Special, ALLi News Editor Dan Holloway looks at the implications for indie authors of Mailchimp's acquisition by Financial tech company Intuit.
ALLi's News Editor Dan Holloway
In the latest self-publishing news podcast, Howard and I talk about new features being launched on social media platforms that enable users to monetize their feeds. And on tonight's #indieauthorchat I have the pleasure of guesting. I'll be talking to Tim about what the failed attempt to ban explicit content from OnlyFans means for indies. Join us at the usual 3pm Eastern, 8pm UK time.
Mailchimp Bought by Intuit in Bid to Provide Integrated Help to Small Businesses
The email list has been an author's treasured possession for several years now. Many of us use Mailchimp. But I have sensed a growing feeling that, for want of a better way of putting it, people were increasingly seeing it as a bit meh. But on Monday, Mailchimp announced it was being acquired by Intuit. Intuit is the financial technology company behind products like accounting software Quickbooks.
The way both sides are talking about the acquisition is really interesting. Mailchimp talks of, "leveraging Intuit's AI-driven expert platform to deliver even better products and services to small businesses."
Intuit says, "Adding Mailchimp furthers our vision to provide an end-to-end customer growth platform to help our customers grow and run their businesses, putting the power of data in their hands to thrive."
It's very clear that both sides see this as a way to provide an all-in-one customer discovery service to small businesses. And that's definitely worth watching.
Joanna Penn Celebrates 10 Years as a Full-time Indie Author
You know the indie world is properly established when you start celebrating anniversaries. The first big one was the 10 year anniversary of the Kindle. This week marks a very special anniversary for indie authors. Joanna Penn, who has led the way for many of us for as long as we've been indies celebrated 10 years since packing in the day job this week. But what's really interesting is her highly informative reflection on that decade. I would urge you all to go and read it. And follow her everywhere you can. For me the most important takeaway was this point:
You can keep a mature author business going with just a few consistent actions.
I think that's something we can often forget. And we can end up overwhelmed and doing nothing because we feel we can't do everything.
Kindle Software Updates but Kindle Vella May Be Pulled Before It Starts
We live in a world where we do so much on our smartphones and tablets that it would be easy to think purpose built ereaders have had their day. But a steady stream of new hardware nonetheless drips onto the market. This week saw Amazon launch its first software update for Kindle in some time. It doesn't feel like much. A two tab bar at the bottom of the screen to allow readers to navigate to their library and home page. But it's the start of a wider programme of updates to the home and library areas.
What this suggests is that, as far as Amazon is concerned at least, the specialised ereader has at least a medium term future ahead of it. Something that may not be so lucky is Kindle Vella. This was Amazon's planned programme to enable authors to release books in paid chunks. It was an attempt to combine serialisation with ebooks. When all the chapters were released, you could bundle them together and issue them as a single book. That was the plan, anyway. But the rumour mills on KindleBoards suggest that Kindle Vella may never see the light of day.
Amazon Moves Against Antitrust Case as Apple "Loses"
In March, small bookstores brought an antitrust case against Amazon. It is not the only legal proceedings Amazon face. They are also under investigation, for example, by the legislature of DC. But the bookseller case is the one that has the real "You've Got Mail" vibe to it. Booksellers argued, initially, that Amazon and publishers had a most favoured nation clause in their contracts. That would have enabled Amazon always to get the best deal on offer, even if other retailers couldn't. Which would be fairly clearly anti-competitive.
Only it seems that no such clause existed. So the case pivoted to argue, essentially, that Amazon was using its size to hold publishers over a barrel and make them give favourable terms. In essence, that changed the claim from one of collusion between Amazon and publishing to an antitrust claim about Amazon's monopoly status. This week, Amazon has moved to dismiss the case. Their reasoning, underneath the bluster, is that this pivot shows the bookstores are basically fishing – trying this to see if any of this sticks.
And this comes as Apple found itself on the receiving end of a similar case. Epic Games won a ruling last week that Apple could not block them from external links. The courts didn't rule that Apple was a monopoly, however, and Epic are appealing on that basis. The implication for Amazon will be huge.

Finding cosiness in the freezing Swedish Lapland
Nabilah Said on 26 Feb 2017
Kiruna may be known for its bitterly cold temperatures, but that does not mean one has to huddle indoors
One afternoon late last month, in the Swedish Lapland, I take a somewhat apocalyptic bus ride.
The blustery snow outside and pitch-black winter day mean it is impossible to see beyond 10m ahead. We pass by stationary trucks, abandoned by their drivers.
Every few kilometres, our driver, Per Anders, has to get out to clear the snow off the hardworking windshield wipers. He drives carefully, in part to avoid hitting stray reindeer.
But he is smiling.
"Welcome to the Arctic, folks," he says cheerily.
Kiruna, part of the Swedish Lapland in northern Sweden, is the kind of place where people boast of eyelashes that freeze when it snows.
Water-based skin lotions, if not allowed to dry sufficiently, can cause frostbite. Cameras and phones can stop working - a big nuisance, considering that its location in the Arctic Circle makes it an ideal spot to view the Northern Lights.
But with the right clothing, attitude and sense of humour, winter in Kiruna is an experience to be savoured.
SURVIVING THE ICEHOTEL 365
Cold is a relative term.
I learn this as I zip myself into a thermal sleeping bag in my minus 5 deg C room in the Icehotel 365 (www.icehotel.com). It is three times as cold outside.
The 2,100 sq m Icehotel 365 is the newest addition to the 27-year-old Icehotel establishment and a permanent one. Icehotel consists of multiple buildings, including the original "winter hotel", which melts in summer and has to be re-constructed every year.
The buildings are made from "snice", a combination of snow and ice - it has a translucent quality - from the nearby Torne river.
In the Arctic Circle, the sun does not set for about 100 consecutive days - a phenomenon called the midnight sun - in the summer.
Solar panels in Icehotel 365 harvest this solar energy that is then used to cool down the hotel during the summer months when temperatures can climb to 30 deg C.
There is a trick to staying warm.
Our guide, Fredrik Stefansson, warns us of travellers who have piled on the layers, only to wake up sweltering in the middle of the night.
Dressed as he advised - one layer of thermal, a beanie and warm socks - I am so cold I sprint through the snow to the Icehotel 365, where my room is.
My belongings are kept in a dressing room in a separate building to keep them safe and dry - there is no storage space in my room and there is no lock on the door.
I am staying in an Art Suite, where the rooms all bear unique designs by artists from around the world.
My room, named Melting Pot, has walls with a million circular indentations. There is also a large globe in the side of the room made of brick-shaped ice.
I read later that British artists Rob and Timsam Harding had wanted to remind people of global warming, but feeling warm was unfortunately the last thing on my mind.
Still, I appreciated the design.
Touring the rooms earlier that day - they are open to the public from 10am to 6pm daily - I see that some have designs that may well have taken cues from famous Austrian psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud.
In one, there is a giant sculpture of a deer sliced in half; in another, aptly named Audience, a wall of faces look at you while you sleep. Both invoked the notion of repressed memories and the power of the unconscious mind.
Thankfully, the mattress I sleep on is a regular one. My sleeping bag also sits on top of reindeer skin, which makes it extra comfortable.
But there are little quirks that remind me I am sleeping in what is essentially a freezer.
Getting into bed, I have to consciously avoid touching the thick block of ice the mattress sits on.
Thankfully, I realise the only way to get good sleep is to keep out the cold by zipping the sleeping bag way over my head.
At 7.30am, a hotel staff makes her morning rounds to wake guests up, as the rooms must be prepared for a new round of public tours.
She comments on my deep sleep, which makes me feel strangely proud of myself.
Then, she passes me a cup of warm lingonberry juice. I drink it with a delightful shiver.
FOOD, STORIES AND THAT COSY FEELING
Land-to-table is the way people dine in the Swedish Lapland.
Reindeer, belonging to the indigenous Sami people in Lapland, roam freely outside. They are also a main meat source.
We have it in fillet form, medium rare, paired with mashed potato and the ubiquitous sweet lingonberry sauce at Camp Ripan (ripan.se).
We have the meat smoked and sliced thin. We have it in little cubes, as a garnish in mushroom soup.
At the Icehotel, I have the classic five-course Ice Menu in its restaurant, where food made of fresh ingredients is served on tiny slabs of ice.
I am given a tiny egg-shaped dollop of whitefish caviar served with shavings of onion; leafy lichen (a type of algae that reindeer eat) and a slow-cooked fillet of elk paired with blueberry jelly. Everything tastes fresh, foreign and delicious - except perhaps the lichen, which lacks flavour, but is extremely crisp.
Besides lingonberry, which any self-respecting Ikea fan should know about, cloudberry (bitter- tasting) and arctic bramble (similar to raspberry) make frequent appearances on my plate, in savoury and sweet meals.
At another meal, as part of a specially organised Taste of the Arctic experience, wilderness guide and chef Anders goes the extra mile by catching his own Arctic char, a type of fish, for dinner.
We are supposed to dine in an igloo built by Mr Anders, but plans change due to a windy snowstorm. So, instead, we adjourn to a wooden cabin in Bjorkliden, complete with a fireplace (bjorkliden.com).
Still, we get a taste of the outdoors as he tells us of his experiences.
Once, he fended off a moose with a hoe after it wandered into his garden, coming scarily close to his young child.
"I was fighting a moose and it was stupid of me," he says with a cheeky smile. The creature eventually scampered off.
To round off the meal, he serves us kaffeost - coffee with cubes of spongy cheese inside - which apparently only one 80-year-old woman in north Kiruna knows how to make.
I am not impressed with the rubbery, tasteless cheese, but can appreciate that this traditional drink is a way for locals to get a dose of protein while keeping warm in winter.
Unsurprisingly, there is a Swedish term for the feeling of wanting to be warm and cosy, eat good food and enjoy good conversation - mysig.
MORE THAN JUST THE AURORA BOREALIS
Parts of Swedish Lapland are perfectly placed in the Aurora Oval, a region in which the Northern Lights can usually be seen.
The best time to spot it is during the winter months, especially in areas which are dark and have a view of clear skies.
But there are many reasons why a traveller may miss the lights - dense cloud cover or light pollution, for example.
The Sami people believe that the lights are the souls of their ancestors. Children are told not to whistle at the Northern Lights, lest they be whisked away by spirits.
I like this reverence for the lights. It is better than thinking of them as a show for tourists.
I feel lucky when the lights finally show themselves to me on a night at the base of the Aurora Sky Station (auroraskystation.se) - a ribbon of green rippling in the sky before disappearing.
But to be honest, the beauty of the Swedish Lapland is revealed in so many other ways as well.
Towards the end of our trip, we meet local guide Ida-Maria Svonni (sapmilife.com), a Sami woman whose family herds reindeer and moves according to the season.
"We are the people of the sun and the moon. We live a life in harmony with the reindeer," she says, her face reflecting the fire she had built in the lavvu, the teepee-like shelter that we sit in.
She shows us photos of her young daughters learning the ways of their community and says with quiet conviction: "The children are the future."
Going back to that apocalyptic bus ride, I unexpectedly encounter The Beatles.
As a sliver of sun breaks through the clouds, Mr Anders starts singing Here Comes The Sun.
Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun and I say it's all right
He has not seen the sun in days and a single ray is worth breaking out into song for.
I realise then that it is all about contrasts co-existing - the beauty in isolation, the cosiness in the bitter cold, that rippling green strip in the black sky.
It is not the end of the world after all. It is only the beginning.
A TOWN THAT IS MOVING
Kiruna is moving.
Parts of its town - including the city centre, 3,200 homes and 6,000 people - is relocating 3km east.
This is necessary because an iron ore mine beneath the city is leaving cavities behind which will eventually collapse.
"We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the mine," says Mr David Lind, market director of Kiruna Lapland Economic Association, comprising local companies and the municipality.
Kiruna is home to the largest iron ore mine in the world, run by Swedish mining company LKAB. The mine came first, built in the 1890s, and the city developed around it. The mine produces 90 per cent of the iron in Europe today.
Mr Hjalmar Lundbohm, the first managing director of LKAB, is considered the city's founder.
There are guided tours of the mine (kirunalapland.se; 360 Swedish kroner, or S$56, an adult for a two- hour, 45-minute tour).
The redevelopment, expected to continue till 2035, will beautify the industrial-looking city. There are plans to have "a green area running through the city centre where snow mobile and dog-sledding companies can pick up and drop tourists in the city centre", says Mr Lind, 35.
The new main city square is targeted for completion by 2019.
He also hopes that more tourists will come to appreciate summer in Kiruna.
The Northern Lights has made winter a popular period for international tourists from December to March. But traditionally, Kiruna has been popular as a summer destination among locals, who go there for outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing and whitewater rafting.
Another interesting thing about Kiruna is that it is the site of major international space research.
One company, Spaceport Sweden (spaceportsweden.com), stands out with its aim to offer commercial flights to space launched from Kiruna.
But this is not the city's only quirk.
Mr Lind says: "You can see the Northern Lights as early as September and hike and fish in the day. In the summer, locals come and they ice-fish in a T-shirt."
From Singapore, fly to Stockholm and take a domestic flight to Kiruna. The journey takes at least 17 hours, including transit time. You can opt to make a pit stop in Stockholm to take in some of the capital city's sights before or after your trip to Kiruna.
Dress warm in winter ss the weather can dip to minus 30 deg C and below, it is crucial to wear quality thermals. Waterproof outer layers are also a must, as you will be walking around in the snow a lot. Buy heat packs for your hands and body if you need extra warmth.
Rental snow boots and snow suits may be available at certain hotels. These are good for activities such as dog-sledding or waiting for the Northern Lights.
But do not overdress when you stay at the Icehotel as you will wake up feeling hot. The thermal sleeping bags will keep you warm as long as you zip them up all the way.
Be flexible Nothing is for certain when your activities depend on the weather. A trip to Narvik in Norway was cancelled, as the roads were closed due to heavy snowfall. A chairlift ride up to the Aurora Sky Station at Abisko was also suspended for safety reasons.
Keep an open mind. Indoor activities, such as the Aurora Spa at Camp Ripan, can be enjoyable as well. Locals come to this spa, which has indoor pools and several saunas, to relax and rejuvenate.
Prepare to wait for the Northern Lights Phone apps and a good guide can help you determine the probability of seeing the Northern Lights. But you might have to wait outside in the cold for hours before you see anything.
Your DSLR camera should come with adjustable settings and a tripod. Batteries tend to get sapped faster in the cold, so pack spare ones.
At times, your camera might capture the lights, even if your eyes do not. But remember not to fixate on the camera and try to enjoy the view.

On the go? Here's an audio version of 'Creative Expression' for your listening pleasure. For access to all of the Vibrational Science Podcasts in order click here.
A couple weeks back, I posted the beginnings of a self portrait painting on Facebook. I received some really great feedback and comments, one of which came from a talented friend whose comment read 'Meniyka Kiravell, you are so good at everything!" And while this was flattering, I felt incredibly humbled. Because there was a time in my life when I hadn't embraced my creative potential and lacked the confidence to share that part of myself with the world. And so after a long time, I again began thinking about something we all share, the magical gift of creative expression.
Since embracing my inner artist a few years back, I am now truly convinced that any form of creativity and genius from making music and painting to writing, acting, inventing and creative problem solving is really accessible to anyone who chooses to express it.
Shortly after the conversation with my friend, I had another chat with NLP practitioner Richard Luck out of Melbourne Australia. He was asking me about my creative process and when I shared it with him, he exclaimed that my process was a gift I really ought to share it with the world!
After these inspiring conversations, I decided to dedicate today's Vibrational Science Blog & Podcast episode to spilling my creative beans.
In case you haven't read my story sprinkled about here at Kiravell.com, I used to be a closeted artist. Which from my current perspective made me more or less like most people in the world who haven't as of yet embraced their creative potential. I really believe we all are master creators of our realities, destinies and world. We may manifest our creativity in different ways depending on our dispositions, environment and propensities, but the truth is that we all have an inner creative genius just waiting to be expressed in a way that is unique to each of us.
So what does it take to get into this space where our unique creative gifts can bubble forth? How did I break through? Well I probably sound like a broken record if you follow this blog, but it was a combination of meditation, journaling, introspection and getting real with myself. One day I just got fed up of living vicariously through others and I asked myself, what did I really want to do? What did I truly love and feel passionate about? What would I be if I could be anything?
I remember I broke down crying as I was journaling. Colored marker ran down my soggy pages and yet the insight was so clear and simple. I wanted to be an artist.
Step #1. Admit and acknowledge.
Little did I know this was my 1st and perhaps most important step in coming out. I admitted to myself what I really wanted to be and acknowledged a big part of myself that I had neglected for too long. An awesome book that helped me get in touch with my inner voice and child is Power of the Other Hand by Lucia Capaccione.
Next I accepted a new belief that what I had wanted to be all my life was not just possible for me, but was destined for me. Perhaps those qualities were a bit latent because I suppressed so much of myself in fear of failure, but I was willing to suspend my disbelief for a short time and consider this new belief in it's place. I accepted that if I wanted to express something so deeply, then I must have some propensity or inkling for it. I affirmed that I was capable. Even if I didn't know how I was going to become the artist I wanted to be, I believed that somewhere deep down inside, I didn't just have the potential to be this- I was capable!
Step #2. Give yourself a chance. You never miss what you never knew. Suspend your disbelief and acknowledge that you do have the talent to express what you desire to express. A great book that can help you break through here is The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron.
After this, my job was to draw out my inner child and gift. So I began to take action!
Step #3. Get to work. Skills and technique are important! Study, practice and learn your craft with determination, perseverance and patience. Perhaps the most important quality of all is to be gentle with oneself. i.e. put the critic to bed during this period.
Another important aspect of Step #3 "Getting to work" is to incorporate some daily activity associated with your pursuit. If your dream is to be a writer for example, even spending 5 or 10 minutes a day is going to help you get the creative juices flowing. Often times I get my greatest ideas and starts in these mini burst creative sessions.
The last and final step for me was and still is about stepping into a mindset of confidence and trust. Every time I sit down to channel a creation whether it be through blogging, composing music, painting or producing anything- I check my headspace. What's my intention with this creation? Do I trust that it will come through as it has countless times in the past? I am happy and grateful to say I am in a place in my life where my faith in my ability to open up to my creative well is pretty solid. It's in this worry free space that creativity can flow uninhibited.
Step #4. Keep building confidence and trust that you have access to your creative well. Whether you want to think of it as a space within you or as creative broadcasts from the ether that you can tap into, believe in yourself and your birthright to be a creative channel for limitless creative flow!
It's this faith that sustains me day in and day out. Often I will sit down in front of my piano, a sheet of paper, or a canvass and I have nothing in my mind but an intention to channel something really amazing, inspiring, timeless, beautiful or cosmic and I just keep my trust and patience in my back pocket. That's it. My faith never fails me. Ideas just download. Songs come in over the intuitive airways, images float up from the creative well into my my mind's eye and I just know what to do.
Sounds like magic doesn't it? It is! But it's magic we all have access to. We are all magicians! The one special key for unlocking the magic is having patience and maintaining a delicate balance of trust and action without hard expectations. Be open to the timing and the form, but have full faith that what you desire will come.
Creative expression sounds a hell of a lot like manifesting doesn't it?
I hope this process works for you as well as it has for me. Perhaps you have your own process you would like to share with the rest of us in the comments below! By the way, here is the finished version of the painting that inspired this post.

"This feels like the future." ran through my mind as we un-boxed and tested the Touchjet Pond – the world's first virtual touchscreen projector. We browsed Facebook and blasted Adele's new music video on YouTube. We opened the whiteboard app and virtually painted on walls… Instantly, a rainy Friday night was transformed into a blast.
About 15 minutes prior I was shifting through my backpack pulling out my laptop, a mouse, and an AC adapter. I cleared some space on the wall and set the projector on a table about six feet away. I began searching through the Touchjet case for a wire to connect my laptop with the projector, but found only one, six inch USB Mini (OTC) cable. The cable wasn't compatible with my laptop without another cord and certainly wasn't long enough to connect. I managed to avoid throwing a fit long enough to pick up the user manual to find out why I couldn't hook up the projector with a run of the mill laptop. And then my mind was blown: I wouldn't need my laptop at all. The Touchjet Pond is WI-FI ready and an ANDROID OS IS BUILT IN. THE PROJECTOR IS ALSO THE COMPUTER. MIND. GONE.
Touchjet started with two men in a coffee shop and a big idea: Tom Jiang Li and Zhen Liu saw the rapidly expanding world of consumer tech and wanted to develop products that bring people together. Straight out of a Pixar movie Touchjet, Inc. employs engineers from around the world and has offices in San Francisco and Singapore. Touchjet had to invent stuff to make this projector possible, and they used the crowdfunding website Indiegogo to raise almost $1,000,000 in start up capital from some 3,500 different people. Through this approach they have built a tech savvy customer base that is literally invested in their success. These early adopters keep Touchjet honest by delivering product feedback directly to Touchjet staff. This could be particularly helpful for a software dependent gadget that can be updated remotely.
Efficient, efficient, efficient. Everything about this product just wreaks of serious engineering and efficient design. And no wonder, it has to be efficient. How else could a functioning Android operating system be built into an 80 lumen projector, complete with Blue-tooth, WI-FI, external speakers, active cooling, and a number of useful ports?
If you're into gadgets, or small, sleek tech, the fun starts before you pull it out of the box. The Touchjet Pond packaging and carrying case is likewise efficient, handsome, and compact.
The Pond is plug and play and as intuitive as an Apple product – so much so that I wonder if a few of Touchjet's engineers may have spent some time at Apple. Setting-up the device is easy, and using it is similar to a smartphone. And just like a smartphone you will have to enter a host of passwords to fire up the Wi-Fi, Gmail, Facebook, and any other compatible app from the Google Play store.
The manual focus is a cinch, and the only feature that takes any thought at all is calibrating the device for the first time. I tried free styling the calibration process and was successful after about five minutes of experimentation. If I had read the 200 word introduction it would have taken about two minutes.
Mastering the touch of the stylus on hard drywall was a bit more difficult as is it only responds to an accurate touch, and at an angle less than 90 degrees to the wall.
The Touchjet Pond weighs about as much as a pool ball and fits in the palm of your hand. At 4.5 inches wide, 3.9 inches long, and 1.1 inches high it's smaller than George Costanza's famed wallet. The travel kit is just as handy with a nice with a trim, square, black case with rounded corners. It will easily slip into a briefcase, backpack, or carry on.
Perhaps most importantly, the projector is so small you can set it up anywhere: Hang it from the ceiling and make any table a virtual tablet. Put it on the night stand and watch Sports Center on your ceiling. Set it on the bed and Netflix is on your wall.
As I alluded to earlier, the styli were a bit touchy. One has to position and touch them properly to a stiff surface to engage the optical sensor. The sensor glows red and confirms that the projector is reading the stylus. However, I found that I would often have to re-position my hold of the styli or engage the surface with a different touch for it to work properly. I quickly improved my use of the stylus, better applying the correct pressure and angles, but several weeks into testing I am still not impressed by it's responsiveness.
Touchjet gets definite props for the Pond being the first of its kind. There just isn't another projector on the market with an embedded operating system that produces a virtual touch screen. If you're looking to generate some tech envy, you're definitely going to score some points showing this thing off – both the physical design of it and the functionality. A demo for friends and family is guaranteed to generate fun and no shortage of oohs and ahhs. Basically nobody has one of these or has seen this kind of tech before in real life.
Unlike your smartphone, the Pond does not have GPS, cell phone transceiver, compass, camera, or built in Mic, so it's not guaranteed to run properly with apps requiring these devices. Again, the Touchjet people are working with science and not magic, so we'll give them a few years to work in these luxuries.
Watch Netflix on your bedroom ceiling while lying in bed!
The Pond is incredibly portable. It weighs nothing, and has a sleek, simple and attractive design. With so much functionality packed into such a mobile gadget, should we consider this a toy or tool?
The Pond is kind of a unicorn in that it will function equally well as a man's tool or a child's toy. However, the Touchjet Pond is going to have limited utility in the Man Cave beyond the initial wow factor. It will do much better in a travelling professional's briefcase, child's bedroom, or family game room. Why? Because with (854×480) WGVA resolution you're going to want to keep watching Monday Night Football and Blu-ray's on the HDTV. The Touchjet projected display looks darn good while projecting a 25 inch screen, but as you back up and push it towards its 80″ recommended max it looses clarity and can't compete with an HDTV. Also, you really need the lights dimmed, or off to optimize viewing.
The positive side of the relatively low lumen output is that I had the projector running for more than an hour and it never got hot – like at all. It even has a battery mode so you can go wireless. However, the brightness will max out at 50 lumens on batteries.
The Touchjet Pond was built for portability and to display touchscreen images where they have never been before. This is the screen you go outside with in the summertime and project on your garage, or against the house as you sip an adult beverage on the deck. Or maybe you hide it around the house and display artistic images during your next hip party – perhaps timed to a hot dubstep cut. You bring this projector tailgating, set it up in a shaded area and stream the game from your smartphone. It used to take ridiculous, elaborate set-ups to accomplish these imaging feats. The Pond makes them easy.
The Pond would also be great for the travelling professional – particularly when one doesn't know what presentation environment he or she is walking into. It can be unnerving to be physically separated from your computer when delivering an important presentation, because you can lose control of what's displayed. The Touchjet Pond will let you stand at the front of the room and operate the computer simultaneously. For the typical professional, that's serious innovation.
The Touchet Pond is innovative, sleek, and efficient. It will inspire envy and it will be a lot of fun for children and when you first pull it out of the box. It won't replace your HDTV, but it will be a handy tool for the travelling professional.

Egypt Arrests 16 Suspected Muslim Brotherhood Members
CAIRO - Egypt says police have arrested 16 suspected Muslim Brotherhood members for allegedly smuggling currency out of the country and plotting militant attacks in Egypt.
The Interior Ministry said Tuesday the suspects were collaborating with wanted Brotherhood members in Turkey to help smuggle wanted Islamists from Egypt to Europe.
It says in a statement the suspects also provided funds for Brotherhood members to carry out militant attacks in Egypt.
Former Egyptian President Morsi's Son Dies of Heart Attack Doctors say 25-year-old Abdullah Morsi was driving his car with a friend in Cairo when he suddenly felt weak
The Muslim Brotherhood won a series of elections after the 2011 uprising that toppled President Hosni Mubarak. U.S.-educated engineer Mohamed Morsi, a senior Brotherhood figure, became Egypt's first freely-elected president the following year.
The military, led by then defense minister Abdel Fattah el-Sissi, overthrew Morsi in 2013 amid massive protests against his brief one-year rule. Authorities have since branded the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization and arrested thousands of its members. Morsi collapsed in a courtroom and died in June.

This new Norwegian jazz quartet features drums, double bass, trumpet, tenor and soprano sax, and vocals. Bandleader Ellen Andrea Wang is the lead voice and double bass, and also responsible for all the compositions and lyrics. While they operate squarely in the jazz idiom, the lack piano or any other chordal instrument in the lineup often gives their sound a chamber quality, with the interplay between saxes and trumpet providing melodic coloration over the busier rhythm section. That said, the arrangements on some of these ten cuts tend toward the aggressive, and sometimes even approaches rock energy. The vocal passages, which are offered sparingly, make all the difference, and clearly add light, strength, variety and color to all the proceedings. One listen to a cut like "Wake Up," which encompasses all the strengths of this ensemble – and the vocals – will have the listener reaching for the repeat button in short order. There are pastoral instrumental cuts also, where their style of gentle improvisation gives every player room to stretch out and be heard, without any one dominating the show. All taken, Pixel offers an outstanding recipe that's unique, completely listenable, and compelling.

The Fiji Labour Party has urged the authorities to permit evacuees taking refuge at the various schools in the West to remain at these centres until they find alternative accommodation.
FLP Leader Mahendra Chaudhry who is currently visiting flood affected areas in the West, said about 200 people taking shelter at the Andrews Government School in Nadi have been told to vacate the premises by tomorrow (Saturday).
"Where are these people going to go, some with babies and little children? Their houses are full of mud and slush. They still have no water or electricity and it rains here every day. How are these people expected to clean their flood-ravaged homes under these conditions?
"On purely humanitarian grounds, if nothing else, the evacuees should be allowed to remain at these centres until their homes have been cleaned out and repaired. Or government finds them alternative accommodation.
"These families are quite disturbed at the directive that they should vacate by tomorrow. Even the officials in charge of the centre admit that the evacuees have nowhere to go to if they were forced out of the school premises.
"I call on the authorities to give serious consideration to the plight of these hapless victims of Friday's flooding," Mr Chaudhry said.
Thousands of other evacuees taking shelter in schools in the West are in a similar predicament following the directive issued by government that all schools open for classes on Tuesday.
Mr Chaudhry said school term dates should be adjusted to deal with this national crisis. He suggested that the first term school holidays be brought forward. Or alternatively, classes be held during the term holidays to make up for lost education time.
"You cannot deal with a national crisis of this magnitude through a piecemeal approach. All sectors will have to cooperate and make adjustments where necessary because peoples' lives have been completely devastated by these series of floods," Mr Chaudhry said.

Activists are planning a 10-day march starting from Charlottesville, Virginia to Washington, D.C. to fight white supremacy and demand that President Trump be removed from office.
"The March to Confront White Supremacy" will spend ten days starting on Monday, August 28 travelling to the nation's capitol and then plan to occupy it with non-violent demonstrations.
"For years, white supremacist violence, rhetoric, and policies have escalated and intensified – exploding during Donald Trump's run for president and reaching a boiling point in Charlottesville," the website for the event reads.
Housing: There will be basic housing provided for marchers, primarily in churches along the march route. If you have specific housing requirements, you may have to meet them at your own expense. We want to be as inclusive as possible, so please let us know about any reasonable accommodations we may be able to make when you register.
Food: There will be basic meals, water, and snacks provided for marchers. We plan to accommodate a range of dietary restrictions (vegetarians, vegans, gluten-free) but cannot assure that we will meet your personal standards or preferences. Consider bringing any special non-perishable items for yourself.
Luggage: Your bags and luggage will be transported for you from the start point to the end point for each day of the march. If you want to carry anything with you, considering bringing a day pack or small bag.
Any questions about who is funding this – George Soros.
"This will be a sustained civil disobedience campaign, so bring what you need to stay," they added.
"The March to Confront White Supremacy," is being planned by a number of activist groups such as the Women's March, Working Families Party, the Action Group Network, United We Dream, Color of Change, and others.
Violence erupted in Charlottesville earlier this month at a protest when a man with alleged ties to white nationalists killed one person and injured dozens more by ramming his car into a crowd of counterprotesters. Tensions were further inflamed when Trump responded to the violence by blaming "many sides" for the violence.
The attack spurred demonstrations against white supremacy around the country, including Durham, North Carolina, where protesters surrounded and toppled a Confederate statue in the days after the violence. Other cities around the country have chosen to take down or cover Confederate monuments in the wake of the Charlottesville attack.
President Trump has repeatedly denounced the violence that broke out in Charlottesville and has condemned the actions from the white supremacists and the KKK. He also blamed the Black Lives Matter and the Antifa thugs who showed up wearing helmets and carrying clubs – he was right to condemn them all.
President Donald Trump was never accused of being a racist until he began running for office, and the Left and mainstream media have been using it as a tool to discredit him.
Here is 30 years of the president denouncing racism and hate groups that the mainstream media does not want you to see.
As you can see, the Very Fake News reports nothing but lies about President Trump.


With so much to explore - plan to spend a few days in the area.

Primary infertility due to retrograde ejaculation: Case series
December 24, 2019	By	admin
Abdullahi Hauwa Musa1, Abdullahi Muzammil2
Infertility is a worldwide problem that causes emotional and psychological distress in both men and women. Male, female and combined male and female factors play a role. Global data shows that the percentage of infertility that is attributable to males ranged between 20 and 70%. It is caused by physiological, genetic, environmental, social factors as well as retrograde ejaculation.
Two couples presented to our facility with primary infertility for 6 and 8 years respectively. The male partners had surgical interventions. First one had a bladder surgery on account of urinary retention while the other one had a road traffic accident and was operated in the pelvis prior to his marriage. Both of them had testicular biopsy prior to presentation, which revealed presence of sperm cells. They also observed a failure to ejaculate after intercourse and noticed a change in the color of their urine following the surgical intervention. Urinalysis revealed presence of sperm cells. They both had two cycles of Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) following which one of them conceived in the second cycle, and the other one had two failed IUI cycles, subsequently conceived via in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF and ET).
Retrograde ejaculation is a cause of infertility and such cases are managed with assisted conception using Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) or Invitro fertilization and embryo transfer ( IVF+ET). Testicular biopsy should however be avoided in such patients. It should rather be performed for sperm harvesting and be used for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
Key words: Primary infertility, retrograde ejaculation, case series.
Infertility is a worldwide problem that causes emotional and psychological distress in both men and women. Male, female and combined male and female factors play a role. Global data shows that the percentage of infertility that is attributable to males ranged between 20 and 70%1 and not much effort has been made at addressing the problem. It remains a gender inequality issue, as in many cases, the burden of the problem lies on the female partner. It is caused by physiological, genetic, environmental, social factors as well as retrograde ejaculation.2,3,4
Ejaculation is an essential step in normal human reproduction and its failure leads to infertility. Many ejaculatory disorders can have both psychological as well as organic causes; however, retrograde ejaculation is unique in that as it is almost exclusively organic in origin.5 Despite being a common type of ejaculatory dysfunction, it is responsible for only 0.3–2% of infertility.6 The combination of dry orgasm and issue with fertility make the condition distressing to both patient and their partner especially when trying to conceive.7
Retrograde ejaculation is a malfunctioning of the bladder sphincter, leading to ejaculation of the sperm into the bladder and is sometimes referred to as a "dry orgasm".8 It is an uncommon cause of male infertility. Men often notice during masturbation that they do not have semen release but there is an orgasm. In retrograde ejaculation, the bladder neck muscles are either very weak or the nerves controlling the muscles have been damaged.9
It may also be as a result of Autonomic nervous system dysfunction, prostatic surgeries, retroperitoneal lymph node dissection for testicular cancer if nerve pathways to the bladder sphincter are damaged, with the resulting retrograde ejaculation being either temporary or permanent.10,11 Other causes of retrograde ejaculation includes side effect of medications, such as tamsulosin,12 antidepressant and antipsychotic medication,13 and as a complication of diabetes with subsequent neuropathy of the bladder sphincter.8,9
Diagnosis is usually by way of a urinalysis performed on a urine specimen that is obtained shortly after sexual relationship. In cases of retrograde ejaculation, the specimen will contain an abnormal level of sperm.14
A physical examination of the genitals is applied to ensure that there are no anatomical problems.
The treatment depends on the cause. Surgery rarely is the first option for retrograde ejaculation and the results have proven to be inconsistent. Medications only work if there has been mild nerve damage caused by diabetes, multiple sclerosis or mild spinal cord injury.13
For couples that are infertile, the male partner's urine may be centrifuged and used for intrauterine insemination, in-vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. Sperm cells harvested from the testicles may also be used for intracytoplasmic sperm injection.1,8,15
Case 1: Mr M M is a 32 year old civil servant who was married to a 24 year old woman at the time of presentation, and was operated a year prior to his marriage on account of recurrent urinary problems and was told that he has a small bladder. The extent of the surgery was not known by the patient. He presented to our centre with history of failure to conceive for 6 years and also noticed that he was having an ejaculatory sexual relationship. He sought care in various places and had testicular biopsy in one of the peripheral hospitals where the presence of sperm cells was confirmed and was advised to go for assisted reproductive procedure. He had a hormonal profile that showed normal results as follows: FSH [9.3mIU/ml], LH [8.14mIU/ml], Prolactin [248.8uIU/ml], and Total serum testosterone [2.41ng/ml]. Urinalysis revealed the presence of sperm cells with a sample collected after sexual relationship.
Hysterosalphingography done for the wife confirms bilateral patent tubes. Her sepsis work up and hormonal profile were also normal. They were counseled for intrauterine insemination, which they accepted.
Stimulation protocol
The woman had a transvaginal ultrasound scan on day 2 of the menses and stimulation commenced with clomiphene citrate 50mg twice daily for 5 days. Ultrasound scan was repeated on day six of menstruation which showed an endometrial thickness of 6.4mm with about 10 follicles on each ovary measuring between 8.4mm and 8.8mm in diameter. She was then commenced on Human menopausal Gonadotrophin 75IU daily and ultrasound scan repeated on day 8 that showed a trilaminar endometrial lining measuring 8.4mm and a dominant follicle in the left ovary measuring about 12.2mm and 13.8mm in diameter. The stimulation was continued with the same dosage of HMG. Repeat ultrasound scan on day eleven showed a trilaminar endometrial lining of about 9.6mm and a follicle size of 18.3mm and 19.2mm in diameter. Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (HCG) trigger was given and the procedure of intrauterine insemination performed 36 hours after.
Procedure of Intra uterine insemination
Sperm preparation
About 4mls of urine sample was collected by the andrologist and centrifuge at 3000rpm for 15 minutes. The pellet produced was used for sperm preparation. Sperm guard media 90/45 was prepared in a conical tube placed on a test tube rag on a heating plate at 37°C, followed by layering of 0.5 ml semen. The first centrifugation was carried out at 3000rpm for 15 min. The supernatant was removed, keeping the pellet, undisturbed. The pellet was re-suspended in 1ml of G-IVF PLUS sperm preparation media and centrifuge for another 10 minutes.. The supernatant was removed and pellet fractions were assessed for sperm concentration, motility, viability, normal morphology using Neubauer ruled chamber under x40 objective.
The following results were obtained
Sperm concentration was 10.6 x 106/ml, motility was 22% (both progressive and none progressive), morphology was 40% normal and vitality was 52%.
The woman was adviced to take plenty of water and placed in lithotomy position, followed scrubbing and draping. The uterus was identified per abdomen using abdominal ultrasound scan and endometrial lining visualized. A speculum moistened with sterile water was inserted into the vagina and cervix exposed and gently wiped with cotton soaked in normal saline. The insemination catheter was attached to 1ml syringe and 1ml of prepared sperm sample drawn. The catheter was inserted through the cervix and sample released about 2cm below the fundus of the uterus under trans abdominal ultrasound scan guidance.
The speculum and catheter were removed and the patient lies supine for 5-10minutes before discharge. Luteal support was given using duphastone 10mg twice weekly for 2 weeks. Pregnancy test was done at 2 weeks which turns out to be negative. The couples were counseled and plan for a repeat procedure. They presented for a repeat procedure after 2 months. The same procedure was repeated and pregnancy test was positive after 2 weeks . She had an ultrasound scan after 4 weeks which showed a viable pregnancy at 6 weeks. She was reassuared, and placed on haematinics. She was advised to register for ANC at 16 weeks and also to repeat ultrasound scan at 18 weeks.
Case 2: Mr M B is a 38 year old business man who was married to a 27 year old woman at the time of presentation. He had a pelvic surgery few months after his marriage on account of road traffic accident. The extent of the surgery was not known by the patient. He presented to our centre with history of failure to conceive for 8 years and also noticed that he was having a dry ejaculation. He sought care in various places and was placed on medications without effect. He was counseled on testicular biopsy which he had. The results confirmed the presence of sperm cells. He was advice to go for assisted reproductive procedure which they accepted. He was evaluated generally.
Hormonal profile showed normal results; FSH.90mIU/ml], LH – [7.12mIU/ml], Prolactin [221.3uIU/ml] and Total serum testosterone [2.71ng/ml]. Urinalysis also revealed the presence of sperm cells, with a sample collected after sexual relationship. Hysterosalphingography done for the wife confirms bilateral patent tubes.
Her sepsis work up and hormonal profile were also normal. They were counseled for intrauterine insemination which they accepted.
The woman had a transvaginal ultrasound scan on day 2 of the menses which showed multiple tiny follicles and stimulation commenced with clomiphene citrate 50mg twice daily for 5 days. Ultrasound scan was repeated on day six of menstruation which showed an endometrial thickness of 6.4mm with about 12 follicles on each ovary measuring between 8.2mm and 7.8mm in diameter. She was then commenced on Human menopausal Gonadotrophin 75IU daily and ultrasound scan repeated that showed a trilaminar endometrial lining measuring 7.2mm thick and a dominant follicle in the left ovary measuring about 13.4mm and 13.8mm in diameter. The stimulation was continued with the same dosage of HMG. Repeat ultrasound scan on day eleven showed a trilaminar endometrial lining of about 9.2mm thick and a follicle size of 18.0mm and 19.2mm in diameter. Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (HCG) trigger was given and the procedure of intrauterine insemination performed 36 hours after.
Sperm preparation and procedure of intrauterine insemination were carried out as described in the first case. The results of the prepared semen are showed here: Sperm concentration was 8.6 x 106/ml, motility was 12% (both progressive and none progressive), morphology was 30% normal, while vitality was 40% viable.
Luteal support was given using duphastone 10mg twice weekly for 2 weeks. Pregnancy test was done at 2 weeks which turns out to be negative. The couples were counseled and planned for a repeat procedure. They presented for a repeat procedure after 2 months. The same procedure was repeated and pregnancy test turns out to be negative again. They were reassured and counseled for in-vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. They presented for the procedure after 3 months.
Invitro fertilization and embryo transfer.
The couples were re counseled for the procedure. Sepsis work up and hormonal profile were repeated. Mock transfer was done on Day 2 of menses. Long – GnRH Agonist protocol was used where down regulation was commenced with 3.75mg of zoladex on day 19 of menses. Human Menopausal Gonadotrophin (Highly Purified Menotrophin) was use for the stimulation. Trans vaginal scan was done on day 2 of menses to ensure good down regulation. A dose of 225iu was used for the stimulation. Serial trans vaginal scans were done on days 6,8 and 11. About 6 follicles were seen in each ovary on day 11, each measuring about 18.4mm by 19.2mm in diameter. HCG trigger was given 36 hours before oocyte retrieval. A number of 3 embryos were transferred on day 3 post retrieval. Luteal support was given with cyclogest suppositories. Pregnancy test was positive after 2 weeks. An ultrasound scan was done four week after and confirm a set of twin gestation. She was continued on progesterone vaginal suppositories and haematinics. Prophylactic cervical circlage was inserted at 14 weeks. She was discharged 2 days after and advice to register for antenatal care.
Retrograde ejaculation is a rare cause of infertility. Both Mr M M and M B Presented to our clinic with history of inability to conceive for 6 and 8 years respectively. They noticed a dry ejaculation. Both Mr M M and Mr M B developed the problem following surgical interventions on the bladder and the pelvis, the extent of the surgery not known by any of them.
Both Mr M M and Mr M B presented to the clinic because of fertility problem and had initial seminal fluid analysis that confirmed absence of sperm cells. Sperm cells were however detected in their testicles following testicular biopsy. Retrograde ejaculation that resulted in infertility is manage by assisted reproduction in the couples. They both had intrauterine insemination following which Mr and Mrs M M conceived in the second cycle. Intrauterine insemination is not an assisted reproductive procedure, but is better than timed intercourse in couples with fertility problem. It has a success rate of 10%. Mr and Mrs M B however, failed to conceive with 2 cycles of intrauterine insemination. Invitrofertilization and embryo transfer therefore became mandatory.
Retrograde ejaculation is a cause of infertility and such cases are managed with assisted conception using intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in-vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF+ET). Testicular biopsy should however be avoided in such patients. It should rather be performed for sperm harvesting and be used for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
