Grădina Zmeilor este o arie protejată de interes național ce corespunde categoriei a IV-a IUCN (rezervație naturală de tip geologic, floristic, faunistic și peisagistic), situată  în județul Sălaj, pe teritoriul administrativ al comunei Bălan.

Localizare
Aria naturală protejată se află în partea central-estică a județului Sălaj, la 10 km. distanță față de orașul Jibou, în bazinul Almașului, pe teritoriul vestic al satului Gâlgău Almașului, în imediata apropiere a drumului național DN1H care leagă municipiul Zalău de Jibou.

Descriere
Rezervația naturală Grădina Zmeilor a fost declarată arie protejată prin Legea Nr.5 din 6 martie 2000 (privind aprobarea Planului de amenajare a teritoriului național - Secțiunea a III-a - zone protejate) și se întinde pe o suprafață de 3 hectare.

Arealul "Grădina Zmeilor" prezintă o zonă naturală (din Podișul Someșan, subunitate geomorfologică a Depresiunii colinare transilvane), ce cuprinde un ansamblu neregulat de stânci (Fata Cătanii, Zmeul și Zmeoaica, Moșu, Călugării, Căpitanul, Acul Cleopatrei, Soldații, Eva, Dorobanțul, Degețelul, Sfinxul), cu forme bizare (turnuri, ciuperci, ace, abrupturi stâncoase), dispuse la baza dealului "Dumbrava".

Formațiunile geologice (atribuite perioadei holocenului) alcătuite din gresii (de culoare cenușiu-gălbuie) cu intercalații de microconglomerate, s-au format prin acțiunile repetate ale aerului (îngheț-dezgheț, vânt, temperatură), apei (spălare, șiroire) și a proceselor gravitaționale (prăbușiri, surpări) desfășurate de-a lungul timpului.

Audiobook Summary:Week 7: In Depth Entrepreneur Interviews This is the seventh in a unique eight-week Business Mentoring Programme designed FOR entrepreneurs BY entrepreneurs. Weeks 5 to 8 of the program delve deeper into the mindset of self-made millionaire entrepreneurs and explore the full range of subjects from Risk to making a million. Each day, for around 30 minutes, you'll hear one entrepreneur share his or her individual story with you, entertaining you, motivating you, and inspiring you as you learn. Day 31: James Minter shows you what you need to change if you are serious about becoming a successful entrepreneur. At one time, James was an officer in the Royal Navy. With no business experience at all, he created one of London's most prestigious private members' clubs and served office complexes. Day 32: Elena Souto teaches you what YOU need to do to replicate her meteoric success. Elena previously worked in an office and decided to start her own business, selling lingerie for bigger breasted women. Elena's talent was soon spotted and she won award after award for her business. Day 33: Luke Johnson demonstrates his unique way of excelling as a capitalist investor and entrepreneur. One of the UK's most respected restaurateurs, Luke now owns many of London's most desirable restaurants and is regarded an extraordinary entrepreneur, and exceptionally talented investor. Day 34: Debbie Burke will captivate you as she explains exactly what it will take for you to have a multi-million pound/dollar company like hers even if you've just been laid off. Debbie started her successful recruitment company with a credit card and a 10,000 pound credit line when the company she was working for collapsed. Day 35: Lord Harris describes in detail the nuts and bolts of building a successful company. Lord Harris left school at 15 to run the family business when his father died. Lord Harris is dyslexic but has used it to his advantage.


"Really, it's just a matter of what you want. Anyone with the right mindset and a pinch of imagination can get swept away in the world of Mount and Blade, and create something that is unique and epic to them. That one aspect, in spite of any of its faults, kept me playing for hours. If you like having your hand held, and being given direction and taken through a story, then the game's not for you. "
Maybe I'm just a big softy, but I usually play the good guy in any game where I'm given the choice. I always played the light side first in Knights of the Old Republic, and I saved everyone I could in Mass Effect, generally going out of my way to help people out. Mount and Blade gave off that big sandbox vibe from the start, and I already knew pretty much what I was going to be.
So after carefully tweaking all the character customization sliders to make sure the bridge of my avatar's nose was just the right size, I ambled out into the world for the first time, ready to do good for the world. I also put on a helmet almost immediately that covered my entire head and made all that fiddling pointless.
My first taste of combat came swiftly and was an ugly affair. The tutorial demonstrated combat as really straight forward, so I didn't expect much difficulty. There's a button to swing your weapon, a button to guard, and you can modify the direction of your swing or your block by tapping a direction and clicking at the same time. That's basically it.
The difference is that while a smart player is worth more than any other single unit on the field, it's not by near the amount that you might expect. This isn't a one-man-army game, and that was the source of my dilemma. If you fight alone, you will eventually be overcome by larger forces. Even a group of five or six men can prove to be somewhat of a challenge if you get stranded. It makes battles actually somewhat unique that you can't just wade into the middle of the other army and win. Picking your fights and making use of gaps you your opponent's defenses are the key to victory.
So after nearly being killed in my first outing, it became obvious that I needed help. My first recruits were a few peasant farmers, disenchanted with their quiet life, and carrying their pitchforks into battle with them. They weren't an intimidating force, to be sure, but they had my back, so I couldn't complain. And thus it began. As I traveled, I recruited allies, made friends, and soon was basking in the normal upward spiral for games like this. I rode around the plains like a wrecking ball of justice, displacing hoodlums, deserters, and bandits wherever we met. I reaped the rewards of battle, bought new equipment, gained some levels, and became ever more powerful.
Good things are fickle, though. On one of my patrols, I ran into the king of a nearby country on one of his patrols. The fact that he was outside his borders should have been a clue that something was amiss, but I approached him amicably. That was a mistake. He sneered at me from under his crown like a snake from an old Disney movie. The conversation went poorly, and I'll never forget what he said when I told him I'd rather not fight him.
"Ha, but I want to fight with you!"
And he did, for no better reason than because it seemed fun. At the time I had maybe forty men under my command. He had three hundred. Left with no choice, we fought, but it was fairly hopeless. He not only outnumbered me almost eight to one, but his men were all armed and armored members of his royal military. Even though we took many down with us, we were ultimately crushed by a superior force. My men were killed, my supplies and money were stolen, and I learned a valuable lesson about the kind of world it was.
After being paraded around as a battle trophy for a few days, I managed to escape, dragging my battered, peasant self to a nearby town to lick my wounds. The white knight in me died right then. The only thing logical thing to do was to avenge the fallen. I would pull an entire kingdom down brick by brick until I found a certain unjust king, and return in spades what he had given me.
To that end, I became involved in the more shady things. I fought in gladiatorial tournaments for money. There were plenty of Swadian caravans that I could hunt and ambush. Before long I could practically roll around in my ill-gotten money, food and weaponry. As my forces grew, I would become bolder, laying siege to the kingdom's castles, stealing territory for myself bit by bit. The whole thing would crescendo with a cliché final encounter with King Harlaus within the walls of his own castle, the final blow was struck and my revenge would be completed in the most obvious way possible.
But that's okay, because all of that was not the story of Mount and Blade. Rather, it was a possible story, but more than that, it's my story. All of those events happened, but they happened without a writer, more or less entirely at random. There wasn't even a whole lot of dialogue. I just made my choices, and then went along with what happened. What seems like just another cliche quest for revenge after an injustice carried a lot of weight for me because it was a quest for my revenge, not someone else's tale that I was just going along with.
It's not necessarily perfect, though. The world is big in that it takes up a lot of area, but it's also pretty small. If you've been to one town, you've been to them all. And if you've talked to one person, you've talked to them all. There wasn't a lot of dialogue in my quest because there simply isn't a lot of dialogue in the game. Most peasants just have the same simple list of responses to questions about the lay of the land, the things produced in their region, and such. If you're looking for quests to do, sometimes people will have them, but usually they won't. When they do, the variety is pathetic.
Really, it's just a matter of what you want. Anyone with the right mindset and a pinch of imagination can get swept away in the world of Mount and Blade, and create something that is unique and epic to them. That one aspect, in spite of any of its faults, kept me playing for hours. If you rely on having your hand held, and being given direction and taken through a story, then the game's not for you.

Great job on creating a good story-review. Too bad the effect is ruined by what I know has to be a fairly boring game. I'm not into the whole free-roam epic fantasy genre, I've discovered. I love the concept, but they tend to be big immesion-ejection devices, I find. It's simply too hard to properly populate such large worlds. You get tons of dialouge repetition, face and body repetition, uninteresting quests, and combat systems that are too simple.
This was not the review I was expecting! Guffaw, and such!
This one came out really well, though. The angle you went in on was great and you pulled it off fantasticaly. It was a smooth, easy read and told me all I need to know about the game without actually telling me point blank. Good job.
Thanks guys. I swear I had to rewrite or restructure this review about five times to get it where I wanted it. But I'm glad it came out well.

Once consumers click "Start your quote now," they are directed from the Travelers storefront on Amazon to the company's website or to an independent agent. Through the program, Travelers is offering smart home kits—designed to help protect homeowners from some of the most common causes of loss—at discounted prices for Travelers customers in participating states.
How does this impact independent agents? Michael Klein, executive VP and president of personal insurance at Travelers recently told IA magazine, "We've had a lot of conversation about the fact that we're creating a level playing field after the click on the storefront. Because the customer is the one who decides whether they want to come to us to get a quote or go to an agent to get a quote. And we think that's really important."

The constant characteristics of Charlton's work, such as the use of grey and the definition of the geometry of forms, are summarised in the statement: "I am an artist who makes a grey painting". Speaking of his work in an interview, the artist explains: "Paintings are always made in the same way. The size is 4.5 cm, the canvas is always the same type of cotton and the color is always gray. With these elements, which always remain unchanged, I try to create different works".

NEW YORK, April 16 (Reuters) - Angry passengers and a U.S. senator pressed Sun Country Airlines for answers on Monday after the regional airline left more than 200 people stranded in Mexico after canceling two flights on Saturday due to a Midwest blizzard.
Eagan, Minnesota-based Sun Country, which was scheduled to end its seasonal service to Mexico on that day, refused to put on replacement flights or book passengers on other airlines, as carriers usually do when flights are canceled because of bad weather.
That meant passengers booked on two Saturday flights from Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas in Mexico to Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport - which was closed when the flights were due to land - had to find their own flights back to the United States.
Stranded passengers flooded the carrier's social media pages, complaining about the cancellations and the airline's slow response to calls to its customer service line.
Twitter user Brandon Larson wrote: "They flew us down here and are ending their service to Los Cabo Mexico—they are not coming back to get us!" His message was retweeted 21 times and liked 34 times.
Sun Country made a fuller apology late on Monday, after the social media backlash.

REFUGE IN A TROUBLED WORLD
By The Washington Post
DUMFRIES — Anissa Smith looked over Elijah's homework inside the spacious family kitchen and saw a problem with question No. 2.
"Good job here, but I think you need to look this one over," she said to the 9-year-old. "Try a little harder and bring it back to me." He returned to the dining room table to take another stab at fractions.
Chris, 17, like a sergeant-at-arms, looked up from his homework and reminded the younger boys to close the door to the basement as they headed downstairs. It is, after all, the rule of the house. Calvin, 11, darted into the kitchen to wash a sink full of dishes; the Rev. Michael Smith, supervising the activities, sat at a makeshift desk while checking the crease on a pressed shirt that Samuel, 12, brought to him for inspection.
It's another typical afternoon at the Smiths' House of Refuge in Dumfries, where Michael and Anissa Smith are on a mission to change lives by teaching daily lessons they hope will turn neglected and troubled boys into productive men.
When they started 13 years ago, their home was a place where kids in their Williamstown neighborhood with nowhere else to go could get a hot meal, a shower and a warm bed. Now, the House of Refuge is a full-fledged nonprofit organization that provides a home for as many as 12 boys, supervised counseling and mentorship, meshing the intimacy of a foster home with the structure of a group home. Most of the home's clients come from the Prince William County Social Services Department.
"This has been our calling," said Michael Smith, who started the home just after he married Anissa in 1989. "The first children came and we opened up our house, and since then, it's been part of our love for our community and for children."
In all, the Smiths have brought more than 100 kids into their home, and have been doing it for so long that one of their first charges -- now 28 and a small-business owner and record executive in California -- came back recently to talk to the boys about his success.
"What makes all of this mean something is that they stick with you," said James, a high school senior whose last name, like those of all of the boys, is being withheld. When he first arrived, he was involved in the juvenile court system and his parents said they couldn't control him. Now, he's preparing for college.
"You've got everything here, the discipline, the love, the family. ... I know that's what I need and what a lot of us need."

World Athletics Championships 2019: First championships of post-Usain Bolt era seek Jamaican's successor, shake off doping
Sports Agence France-Presse Sep 26, 2019 09:08:01 IST
The first World Athletics Championships of the post-Usain Bolt era get under way in Doha on Friday.
More than 2,000 athletes from over 200 countries and territories will take part across 10 days of competition at Doha's Khalifa International stadium.
Organisers say a state-of-the-art air-conditioning system will shield competitors from ferocious heat and humidity.
Doha: The first World Athletics Championships of the post-Usain Bolt era get under way on Friday with the sport desperately seeking a new superstar as it tackles a slew of ongoing doping controversies.
More than 2,000 athletes from over 200 countries and territories will take part across 10 days of competition at Doha's Khalifa International stadium, where organisers say a state-of-the-art air-conditioning system will shield competitors from ferocious heat and humidity.
USA's Christian Coleman is the favourite to win 100m race at World Athletics Championships. AFP
The championships are seen as a key staging post for Qatar as the Gulf state prepares for the vastly greater challenge of hosting football's World Cup in 2022.
For athletics fans, the championships will also provide clues to likely contenders at next year's Tokyo Olympics.
As ever, all eyes will be on the sprints, where the retirement of Jamaican superstar Bolt in 2017 has left a gaping chasm where an icon once stood.
The likeliest successor to Bolt's throne appears to be US star Noah Lyles, the Diamond League champion and overwhelming favourite for gold in the 200 metres.
Lyles, 22, is expected to target a 100m-200m double in Tokyo next year but is only entered in the longer event in Doha.
That leaves the way clear in the 100m for rival Christian Coleman, who is chasing his first major outdoor championship title.
Battling sceptics
But the 23-year-old heads into the championships struggling to shake off sceptics after he avoided a drug ban earlier this month.
Coleman could have been facing a two-year ban after it was revealed he had recorded three drug-testing "whereabouts" failures in a 12-month period. He escaped suspension on a technicality.
In the women's sprints, meanwhile, Jamaica's Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is chasing a record fourth 100m gold at the age of 32, two years after skipping a season for the birth of her son in 2017.
Elsewhere, the men's and women's 400m hurdles could see records fall.
Norway's Karsten Warholm is set for a battle royale in the men's event with American champion Rai Benjamin. In the women's race, Olympic champion Dalilah Muhammad is hoping to improve her new world record of 52.20sec set at the US trials in July.
There is no place in Doha though for South Africa's 800m star Caster Semenya.
The double Olympic champion misses out after losing her long-running battle against regulations requiring her to take medication to lower her naturally-elevated testosterone levels.
The Coleman controversy, meanwhile, was an unwelcome reminder for the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) that track and field remains vulnerable to doping controversies despite efforts to clean up the sport.
Only this week, the IAAF was confronted with multiple drug-related headlines, with news of Russia potentially facing the threat of new sanctions while German TV channel ZDF broadcast revelations of doping by Kenyan athletes.
On Tuesday, meanwhile, Olympic hammer throw champion Dilshod Nazarov of Tajikistan was suspended after a re-tested sample from the 2011 world championships tested positive for a banned substance.
The IAAF has taken a hard line on Russia in the wake of the doping scandal which erupted in 2015-2016, this week voting to maintain the country's four-year-old suspension from its competitions.
'Tough four years'
IAAF chief Sebastian Coe, re-elected to a second term as president on Wednesday, nevertheless painted a positive picture for the sport on the eve of the championships, citing the creation of the Athletics Integrity Unit as a step forward in the battle against doping.
"I genuinely am very pleased and proud of the way the sport has come together," Coe told reporters.
Coe is now looking forward to a shift in emphasis for his second term, saying he plans to focus on how to grow the sport.
"It's been a tough four years, the first two were the reforms — the second two years were really making sure they were implemented," he said.
"I want the next four years to be the fun bit... I want the sport to grow."
Coe meanwhile has been wowed by demonstrations of the stadium-cooling technology that will be deployed at the competition's main venue in Doha.
Despite daytime temperatures of around 38 degrees celsius (100 degrees Fahrenheit) of around 50 percent, the air-conditioned stadium's climate is maintained at 23-25 degrees.
"The technology at the Doha stadium is jaw-dropping," Coe said.
Organisers however have had to improvise for the challenge by staging the marathons at midnight when temperatures will be lower.

Can we create a completely new MVC based Platform that will enable us to move forward on future versions of ASP.NET?
Can we enable developers to create Modules using ASP.NET MVC today that will work within the current DNN Platform?
The capitalization of the name "MaVeriCK" is important as it represents M-V-C on Project K. Project K was the working code name of the recently announced ASP.NET vNext which will only support ASP.NET MVC, Web API and SignalR - no Web Forms - the technology on which we have built DNN.
However, there is a second reason for the name for me personally. Back in the early days of MVC my son, Andrew, who had just started working at Microsoft and had been a member of the "DNN Core Team" developed a prototype that he called Maverick (for similar reasons). While not built directly for DNN, this was a simple multi-tenant web platform in the style of DNN, and with his permission I have used many of the ideas he proposed as a starting point for my work so far on the first goal.
Let's take a look in more detail at the project goals. The following picture shows the proposed structure of an MVC- based Architecture for DNN.
In this Architecture, we continue to support a multi-tenant solution, and the specific tenant (portal) is identified as part of the MVC Routing. Once the tenant portal and page are identified a Razor skin (cshtml) will be loaded which will in turn load the MVC Apps.
This architecture is identical in approach to how we use Web Forms today, except for the technology upon which it is based (i.e. MVC vs WebForms). In future blogs I will go into more technical detail on how we are approaching each of the steps, but I do already have a very basic working prototype that includes routing, multi-tenancy and Razor-based MVC Apps (or modules), and uses the existing DNN API. This prototype will connect to and work with a previously installed DNN database.
The second goal of this project is to bridge the gap to the MVC future by enabling the use of MVC modules side by side with Web Forms. This goal is a little more challenging as we have to merge the technologies. Developing a clean MVC-based Platform is relatively straightforward - supporting Web Form modules and MVC modules in the same application is much more challenging.
Our initial thought in this area was to put the WebForms pipeline side-by-side with the MVC pipeline as shown in the second image.
This approach keeps the MVC and WebForms pipelines separate - all the complex work to decide whether to use WebForms or MVC is in the URL Routing. The request is then routed to a pure MVC pipeline or a pure Web Forms pipeline.
Initial research in this area suggests that this approach is feasible. The cons to this approach, however are that Page Level components such as Control Panel and Page Settings would need to be re-written in MVC ,as well as key Module components like Module Actions and Module Settings.
Another approach to meeting the second goal is to support MVC Apps (modules) in the current Web Forms pipeline, by hosting the MVC app in a Web Form control. I am currently doing some research in this area, and it is initially quite promising. The work required to make this functional should be much less.
Given recent changes in the technical team at DNN Corp, I am now the prime contact with the Microsoft ASP.NET team, and we are working closely with the that team to ensure we have a compelling story when they release the next version of ASP.NET. I will keep you posted on our progress.
I would like to see a complete move away from WebForms.
IMHO, any architectural changes made to allow both WebForms and MVC should be though of as a temporary measure to ease the transition, rather than an architecture to build the future on.
Thanks for publishing these plans and your progress. It's great to have updates like this and it sounds great. Would it be possible to also share your prototypes with the community as well?
Thanks Charles for publishing this. I believe it will help a lot in focusing future resources.
Could you confirm that the goals is to allow "new" modules made in MVC to also run inside WebForms, but that WebForms-Module-Support is not planned inside MVC? This is IMHO the only reasonable (and easy) solution, but since I believe many old-school developers are hoping for WebForms inside MVC, I believe it's important to clarify this.
Very exciting Charles! We are watching the progress of this effort closely. We have contemplated building our on "wrapper" or leveraging something like https://dnnmvcbridge.codeplex.com/ as a starting point for shifting our module development efforts to MVC. However, we are holding off to see if this effort pans out. Please keep us posted on how things are going. And any examples/prototypes visibility would be much appreciated.

The innovative thinkers are pleased to announce that their research, recently presented at the Canadian Dam Association, has received another accolade: the Clean Energy BC 'Operational Excellence' award, which will be presented at the Clean Energy BC Generate 2018 Conference in Vancouver this week.
They share the award with research partners FortisBC, Selkirk College, and UBC Okanagan, and the project could not have been possible without support from Mitacs, a non-profit, national research organization.
The group came together with a common goal: to develop ways of better understanding and supporting an extreme consequence dam, while also creating opportunities for post secondary students.
The Trail, B.C. engineering firm worked closely with students to develop 3D printed models and schematics that FortisBC now uses for work planning, improving stakeholder engagement, evaluating cost-effective solutions, and developing improved environmental outcomes for their facility operations.
This innovative partnership was first recognized last year with the Operational Excellence Award; the partners now have another win for Phase 2 of the project, which included further collaboration with UBC Okanagan.
Austin Engineering partnered with UBCO's graduate research assistant Anas Salem Issa, M.Sc., M.CSCE and Associate Professor Rudolf J. Seethaler, PhD from the school's engineering lab; the two observed the performance in both empty and full pool seismic events, mimicking real-life quake scenarios and confirming the transient forces imposed by the upstream water.
Back at home in the Kootenays, Austin Engineering further analyzed the data, discovering that a dam responds much differently when tested on a shake table with the water on the upstream side.
The team is thrilled to announce that their abstract has been accepted for the International Commission on Large Dams' symposium held in June.
Their findings are not only important to those responsible for dam safety worldwide, but also to those who live and work downstream.


An 89-year-old German woman was sentenced to 14 months in prison for incitement of racial hatred after losing an appeal on a prior conviction.
Ursula Haverbeck, often referred to in the German press as the "Nazi Grandma," is known for extremist views that have run afoul of German hate speech laws in the past — with courts having previously given her fines and another suspended sedition sentence, according to Fox News.
In Germany, anyone who publicly denies, endorses or plays down the extermination of Jews during Adolf Hitler's regime can be sentenced to a maximum of five years in jail for incitement of racial hatred.
"A German court in Detmold has sentenced Holocaust denier Ursula Haverbeck to 14 months in prison, after the 89-year-old woman lost her appeal to a prior conviction on Tuesday. However, four months were shaved off her original conviction of 18 months. Prosecutors wanted the sentence upheld, Haverbeck's lawyers were seeking exoneration.
"The Detmold court had initially sentenced Haverbeck to eight months imprisonment in September 2016, after she sent a letter to the town's mayor, Rainer Heller, claiming that Auschwitz was not a concentration camp.
In the United States, incitement of violence is criminal but "assaults against human dignity of others by insulting, malicious maligning, or defaming segments of the population" are considered an exercise of free speech, and thus protected under the First Amendment.
Essentially, German law has criminalized speech as a means of controlling political discourse — meaning the government will tell you what is acceptable to say, and who is fair game to malign, and what groups and classes are protected.
Haverbeck has been sentenced on similar charges on five other occasions but has not yet served any jail time as she appeals the cases.
Prior to that, in August, she was given a two-year prison sentence by a regional court in Lower Saxony, according to DW.
The 89-year-old has appealed the rulings passed down against her in each case and claims she has been merely been repeating an opinion.
The most recent appeal verdict is not final, either, as Haverbeck's attorneys plan to take the case to the Higher Regional Court in Hamm — which will serve as the final opportunity to challenge the prison sentence.


Well, Summer is here and my mantle was in need of a make-over that was worthy of hot, summer days. I decided on a beach theme using lots of shells, sand, and other natural elements.
Everything I used to decorate were things that I already had. Most of the shells I used I have had since I was a child. Most of them came from family trips to Florida. I'm so glad I have all of these beautiful shells - who knew I would be using them years later to decorate!
I purchased the apothecary jars from TJ Maxx and Marshall's a few years ago. I'm glad I have them - I keep them up on my mantle most of the year. I just switch out the fillers for the different seasons.
Two of the jars are filled at the bottom with sand and shells on top.
The third jar is filled with dried sea bark I purchased from Pottery Barn a few years ago. I think it is actually dried cactus. I recently saw it for sale at Michael's.
I bought both of the star fish on the island of Capri in Italy. Every time I look at them it reminds me of our great vacation!
I printed out the sea horse and shell print for free from Vintage Printables. I first found out about Vintage Printables from Rene of Cottage and Vine and now I can't stop printing out things!
I have two frames hanging near my fireplace. I switched out the photos I had in the frames for more shell prints.
Not bad for free prints!
I added beach grass to a vase filled with sand to set in front of the fireplace.
To complete the Summer look, I added a hurricane filled with sand and shells to my coffee table.
Thanks for reading! I hope you are inspired to bring a little bit of Summer inside your home.
I'm linking up to these great parties: Toot Your Horn Tuesday @ Silly Little Sparrow, Table Top Tuesday @ A Stroll Thru Life, Show and Tell Day @ Blue Cricket Design, Strut Your Stuff @ Somewhat Simple, Transformation Thursday @ The Shabby Chic Cottage, Frugalicious Friday @ Finding Fabulous, Mantle Vignette @ The Stories of A to Z.
The shells and other seaside mementoes are a great summer theme for your mantlepiece.
I love your shell collection. I collect shells too and toss them around with plants and pebbles. They just liven up things around.
I've got seashells on my mantle too~ It just sighs...summer is here.
that is very impressive! i have a jar i do the same with... but you really pull it all together! i wish i had more creative mind!
This is so fabulous! I love it!
Everything looks great and those prints...WOW! Love the seashells and still have mine from years past too. So glad we kept them.
I am inspired! Everything looks so classy. My mantle needs a touch of summer. I get lazy and leave the same items up there most of the year. The only time I really change it is for Christmas. Now I need to find something summer-y!
This looks awesome - I have shells in my apothecary jars, but I think I'm going to now go back and add sad. I love that detail!
i did this on my dresser in my bedroom with shells and seaglass from trip cause i wanted that beachy feel. don't you love it?!
looks great! I have a similar hurricane vase with a big candle and shells and I love the beachy look. I bought a starfish in Capri when I was there too! That dried sea bark is really interesting!
It looks great a fab idea :) love the prints and the look of the fire place is amazing.
Oh I just LOVE the beachy theme! How light and fresh. You can almost feel the ocean breeze. You've done a fantastic job.
Love the summer decorating...like Christmas decorating without all the stress and craziness.
Looks so summery and fresh! And I also love that you collected them over the years on vacations....it makes it even more special and perfect!
I just wanted to say hello! I found you through remodelaholic and love your blog! I too am an Interior Designer for a Commercial Architect firm!
Loving this! I have a huge crush on apothecary jars right now, so every time I see one, I just drool. Thanks for sharing!
I am so glad I found you! I have been looking for ideas for my mantle and a seaside-inspired tea. Love your blog. I am your newest fan.
I would love to invite you to stop by for tea.
Oops--for got to give you my spindle cottage link. I will with this comment!
This looks great! It all came together really well! Nice job!
I also have a mantle in my post!
Beautiful. I love that bark...need to find some of that!
Alissa, what a wonderful way to welcome Summer! I love all the sand and shells, oh and cactus! ;) I really like the speckled tall vase on the hearth too, beautiful!
Very nicely done, and I adore your fireplace.
You have done such a nice job on your summer mantle. Such a lovely beachy and refreshing feel it give the room.
You did a wonderful job. It all looks great and gives a cooling effect.
Love the seashell prints. I went on that site you mentioned but couldn't find it. Do you remember what category it is under?
It looks great. I love decorating with shells! Thanks for linking up.
That looks so clean and elegant! Thanks for sharing!
Where did you buy the beach grass?

The ZSU-23-4 "Shilka" system has been - and in many examples continues to be - a much-feared anti-aircraft system for pilots of low-flying aircraft all over the world. The effectiveness of the Shilka at low altitudes is a well documented story as the system has seen considerable action in several major global conflicts. The Shilka was initially reserved mainly for the Soviet Army and her (now former) supported states during the Cold War and went on to be exported heavily to ally nations in Asia, the Middle East, Africa and South America. The Shilka defense system continues to serve in some impressive quantities with several armies around the world despite her 1960s-era origins. At the time of her inception, no anti-aircraft gunnery platform in the NATO inventory could match the lethality that was the ZSU-23-4 Shilka series.
The Shilka came about through a need by the Soviet Army to upgrade its existing self-propelled anti-aircraft gun capabilities. Her primary adversaries of the time were the United States and Great Britain and both were fully capable of fielding top-of-the-line ground attack aircraft including helicopters that would - in the event of all-out war in Europe - be called to limit the usefulness of Soviet armor. At the time, the primary system available to the Red Army was the ZSU-57-2 tracked series mounting a powerful set of 57mm cannons. However, despite this large-caliber armament, the system was inherently limited by its optically aimed tracking system, lack of integrated radar with no provision for engaging targets while "on the move". Onboard ammunition storage capability was also limited to just 300 rounds of 52mm projectiles.
Development on a replacement began in 1957 and continued into 1962. The new design - to become the ZSU-23-4 (otherwise known as the "Shilka" after the Shilka River found in Eastern Russia) - incorporated the tracked chassis of the GM-575 with a flat, rounded turret system mounting 4 x 23mm rapid fire autocannons. A water-cooling system was fitted to keep the guns from overheating and at least 2,000 of 23mm ammunition could be carried aboard. A radar system (the RPK-2 "Tobol") was installed to aid the crew in the tracking and engagement of targets along the rear of the turret roof. The vehicle would be crewed by four personnel made up of a driver, commander, gunner and radar operator with the driver located at the forward portion of the hull and the rest of the crew in the turret. The turret was set at the middle of the hull roof with the engine mounted in a rear compartment. The vehicle utilized six rubber-tired road wheels with a long running set of tracks which gave good cross-country mobility in keeping up with Soviet armored formations. This effectively allowed the weapon to be stationed just about anywhere a tank or similar wheeled vehicle could. The turret allowed for a full 360-degree traversal with extensive elevation that would let the crew engage both low-flying aerial targets as well as ground-based ones. Aerial targets could be engaged at 2.5 miles out while land-based ones at 1.5 miles. The radar itself could pick up targets as far out as 12 miles allowing the crew to be prepared to greet. Armor protection for the crew ranged from over 9mm on the turret to 15mm on the hull. Power was supplied from a V-6R series 6-cylinder, 4-stroke airless-injection water-cooled diesel engine developing 280 horsepower that allowed for speeds up to 50km/h on roads with a range out to 450km. The hull was seated on an individual torsion bar suspensions system with hydraulic shock absorbers fitted to several of the wheel pairings. Production by Mytishchi Engineering Works began in 1964 and continued on to 1982 to which some 6,500 examples were produced all. The ZSU-23-4 formally entered service in 1965 and over 38% of the production total went to serve in 23 countries around the globe.
Once in practice, the Shilka was immediately put to work in replacing the older anti-aircraft defense systems. For a time, she was fielded alongside the outgoing ZSU-57-2 until her own numbers increased. She was used to protect portions of the vast Soviet Union airspace, applying point defense for all types of military value targets, and could create a lethal defensive "umbrella" when coupled with mobile medium- and long-range, anti-aircraft missile-launching systems. Should enemy aircraft evade or try and avoid the missiles, it would have the Shilka to contend with. Even over time, the Shilka system has survived to still be feared by pilots and warplanners alike. Her rapid fire cannons deliver a potent stream of deadly 23mm ammunition and her integrated radar system makes her an accurate gunnery platform with her established ranges. Her tracked nature means that she can be stationed just about anywhere and can also supply support fire when these armored units are on the move. Today, modernized Shilkas have even been upgraded with short-ranged, anti-aircraft missile launchers that increase the system's lethality to an extent - making for a more complete defense piece. These launchers are fitted to the turret sides or roof and work alongside the battery of cannon.
If the Shilka series maintains some inherent limitations it is in her use of the water-cooled cannons, her inherently short-ranged nature and her lack of armor protection from modern portable anti-tank weapons. However, it is a testament to her design that she still maintains something of a battlefield profile even today. From the late 1960s to today, the weapon system has gone on to prove her worth in seeing extensive action during the War of Attrition (1968-1970), the Yom Kippur War (1973), the Vietnam War (1959-1975), the Lebanese Civil War (1975-1990), the Angolan Civil War (1975-1991), the Western Sahara War (1975-1991), the Libyan-Egyptian War (1977), the Ogaden War (1977-1978), the Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan and subsequent war (1979-1988), the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988), the Lebanon War (1982), the Gulf War (1990-1991), the Georgian-Abkhazian War (1992-1993), the 1st Chechen War (1994-1996), the 2nd Chechen War (1999), the Invasion of Iraq (2003) and the War in South Ossetia (2008).
The ZSU-23-4 has only existed in a few notable variants and many of these have been subtle upgrades and modernizations of previous Shilka generations. The ZSU-23-4VI of 1970 added an improved V-6R-1 series engine while the ZSU-23-4M (known as the "Biryusa") of 1973 fitted a pyrotechnic loading system over the original's pneumatic system while ammunition counts were increased to 4,500 23mm projectiles. The ZSU-23-4MZ fitted a "friend or foe" identification system and became the new Shilka standard for previous models in service ("Shilka" went on to informally represent all further developments of the system despite the "Biryusa" name being used). The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan brought about a revised Shilka in the ZSU-23-4M2 which added a night sighting device and lost the radar installation. In 1999, the ZSU-23-4M4 was unveiled to the public and showcased the latest modern incarnation of the Shilka family line. This particular version fitted a hydrostatic transmission, laser emission sensors for self-defense and electro-optical vision devices for the crew.
Ukraine has since modernized their existing Shilkas and designates them as "Donets". In 1999, the Malyshev Tank Factory out of Kharkov revised the turrets to fit surface-to-air missile defense systems and assembled them onto the chassis of T-80UD Main Battle Tanks. Similarly, the ZSU-23-4MP "Biala" represents a Polish Army upgrade that occurred in 2000. Grim anti-aircraft missiles were added as were digital systems. Some of the largest Shilka operators went on to become Algeria (perhaps up to 300 examples), Egypt (330 examples with more though to be on the way), India (100), Iran (over 100 examples), Iraq (over 200 examples in unknown condition), Libya (250), Syria (400) and Vietnam (100).
Incidentally, the designation of ZSU-23-4 indicated gun caliber ("23") and number of barrels ("2"). The name "Shilka" is derived from the Shilka River in western Russia. The Shilka may also be known under its nickname of "Zeus".
4 x 23mm AZP-23 Automatic cannons.
6 x SA-18 surface-to-air missiles (roof mount).
6 x SA-16 surface-to-air missiles (side mounts).
2,000 to 4,500 x 23mm projectiles (depending on model).

Share this Story: Goalie Jake Patterson will start in net for the London Knights vs Saskatoon Blades at the Memorial Cup
Goalie Jake Patterson will start in net for the London Knights vs Saskatoon Blades at the Memorial Cup
Ryan Pyette
May 23, 2013 • May 23, 2013 • 4 minute read
The London Knights are cursed with one of the most head-scratching goaltending situations in Memorial Cup history.
Saskatoon Blades forward Lukas Sutter described it a less delicate way.
"Shaky."
No one can remember another time when a coach had to be asked every single day since his arrival if he knew who was going to start in net.
Dale Hunter said he hasn't grown tired of hearing it every second question.
"It's a typical question from the press," the inscrutable bench boss of the OHL champs said.
Before Thursday's do-or-die tie-breaker game against host Saskatoon, Hunter was the most forthright he's been about his crease all week.
He announced he was going back to Jake Patterson, who gave up five goals on his first 10 shots before being yanked after one nightmarish period in a 9-2 loss to the Halifax Mooseheads Tuesday.
The 18-year-old from Sault Ste. Marie helped the Knights rescue their season three times when he came in during the OHL final and won the last three games.
He was expected to start the opening game of this tournament, too, but fell ill with the flu.
The Knights turned to giant Philly prospect Anthony Stolarz, who beat the Blades in the opener.
But with everything on the line again, London looked back to Patterson.
"Stolz (Anthony Stolarz) played a lot of hockey," Dale Hunter said. "Jake looked good in practice and the other night there (against Halifax), we didn't give him much of a chance. They were back-dooring him so it wasn't a fair (assessment) of how Jake plays."
The Knights have been trying all season to give Patterson the starting job.
He is a talented stopper, one of the best at handling the puck, and.a former draft pick of a Plymouth organization superior to anyone else in the OHL at identifying net talent.
He was poised to go toe-to-toe with overager Kevin Bailie for playing time but suffered a strange sciatic nerve injury that kept him out the first month.
When he came back, he and Bailie backstopped the Knights to 24 straight wins – one short of the nearly 30-year-old Canadian Hockey League record.
He owned rival Owen Sound, then won in Guelph and Plymouth. When the much-coveted Stolarz became available in early January, the Hunters were content enough with Patterson to cut loose Bailie, who caught on in Summerside, PEI and became one of the best goalies in the Junior A ranks.
The Knights expected the 6-foot-6 Stolarz to spend the rest of his season adjusting to OHL hockey.
Instead, he outplayed Patterson and became the No. 1 guy for the post-season.
Patterson said all the right things and was a team player who never publicly begrudged the Giant's success.
More importantly, he was ready when the big guy ran out of gas against Barrie.
"We never really did (worry) throughout the season (about who was in net)," London captain Scott Harrington said. "The whole team collectively had an off night against Halifax. Not specifically the goalies. It was a combined off night. It doesn't change our game plan. It doesn't change the way the defence plays."
Dale Hunter was placing his bets on Patterson pulling a Mac Carruth. The Portland goalie was off his game in his first Cup start against Halifax (funny how the Mooseheads can do that), but has been very good in his two bounce-back outings.
The Knights felt like they owed it to Patterson Thursday to perform in front of him.
"We kind of left him out to dry," Bo Horvat said. "We have lots of confidence in him."
"Every player in any kind of sport will play hard because they're going to want to bounce back from a loss like (the Halifax one)," Dale Hunter added.
The Hunters believe Patterson has a fire in his belly. They think he's a competitor.
They watched him last year, when he recovered from mono and Michael Houser dominated the net, lug his gear over to the Western Fair rink every day to work out with the London Nationals.
He was the backup while the Junior B team won a conference title. He wears No. 35, not just in honour of NHL hero Marty Turco, but in memory of Ian Jenkins, the late Knights goalie who passed away two years ago.
He has been hurt, sick, lit up and the team has kept the faith.
The Hunters figured he was mentally tough enough to be the guy to play in games this big, and they went back to that belief when it mattered most.

Бєлозоров Сергій Тихонович (* 25 грудня 1903, Хотин — 25 квітня 1970) — український географ, геоботанік, дослідник природних ресурсів, історик науки, професор, завідувач кафедри фізичної географії Одеського національного університету імені І. І. Мечникова (1963—1970). Провідний український спеціаліст з фізичної географії материків.

Біографія
Сергій Тихонович Бєлозоров народився 25 грудня 1903 року в Хотині на Буковині, що на той час входила до складу Бессарабської губернії Російської імперії.

У 1913 році вступив до Бобринецької гімназії, закінчив 7 класів. Після гімназії 2 роки працював учителем. У 1922 році вступив на агро-біологічний відділ Одеського інституту народної освіти (ІНО). У 1926 році, захистивши дипломну роботу на тему «Асканія-Нова як об'єкт для шкільних екскурсій», отримав кваліфікацію викладача-фахівця природничих дисциплін. Був рекомендований до аспірантури цього ж інституту. Науковим керівником був професор Г. І. Танфільєв, засновник вітчизняної геоботаніки, ґрунтознавства та болотознавства. У 1929 році Бєлозоров закінчив аспірантуру за спеціальністю «фізико-географ» і залишився на кафедрі науковим співробітником.

У 1929—1932 роках був науковим співробітником, заступником директора Одеської гідрогеологічної станції, викладав у вечірньому Робітничому університеті. У 1930—1933 роках Бєлозоров обіймав посаду доцента кафедри фізичної географії Одеського інституту соціального виховання. Одночасно 1930—1932 роках викладав в Одеському піхотному училищі. Після відновлення Одеського університету працював у ньому на посаді доцента кафедри фізичної географії з вересня 1933 по серпень 1941 року. 11 квітня 1934 року отримує звання доцента, а 17 березня 1937 року йому присуджується вчений ступінь кандидата географічних наук. З 16 січня 1938 року по 1 липня 1941 року був деканом географічного факультету Одеського педагогічного інституту, завідувачем кафедри фізичної географії. Викладав в Одеському німецькому педагогічному інституті.

Сергій Тихонович Бєлозоров завідував міським та обласним відділами народної освіти в Одесі на початку Німецько-радянської війни і під час оборони міста. Під час війни в окупованій Одесі залишений у патріотичному підпіллі, був учасником партизанського загону. Допомагав легалізовуватись підпільникам і військовополоненим, постачав партизанським групам гроші, медикаменти, зброю, друкував листівки, вів розвідувальну роботу. З осені 1943 до початку 1944 року викладав в Університеті Трансністрії. Був заарештований румунської розвідкою, але йому вдалося втекти до партизанів в Усатівські катакомби, де провів останні два тижні окупації. Брав участь у бойових операціях із звільнення Одеси. Після звільнення міста працював у комісії з реевакуації Одеського державного університету з Байрам-Алі. Після війни був нагороджений 5 бойовими медалями.

З 1 вересня 1944 року по 1 вересня 1956 року (дата злиття географічних факультетів) працював в Одеському педагогічному інституті, за сумісництвом в Одеському державному університеті. У повоєнний час входив до складу Науково-технічної Ради Міністерства вищої і середньої спеціальної освіти Української РСР, був активним членом Географічного і Ботанічного товариств СРСР. З 1956 року був доцентом кафедри фізичної географії географічного факультету Одеського державного університету, читав курси: «Фізична географія материків», «Історія географічних досліджень і відкриттів», «Арктика і Антарктика», «Розвиток вітчизняної географії». У 1957 році організував велику наукову конференцію присвячену 100-річчю з дня народження Г. І. Танфільєва. Був відповідальним редактором 2 випусків «Праць Одеського університету. Геологія і географія» у 1962 році. В 1963—1970 роках завідував кафедрою фізичної географії Одеського державного університету імені І. І. Мечникова.

12 жовтня 1963 року рішенням Вищої атестайційної комісії СРСР було присуджено вчене звання професора.

Восени 1968 року прочитав курс лекцій в Сегедському університеті (Угорщина). В останні роки життя працював над двотомною монографією «Комплексні експедиції В. В. Докучаєва і їхнє значення для розвитку сучасного напряму фізичної географії».

Вільно володів німецькою, французькою і румунською мовами, працював з англійськими та італійськими матеріалами. Був членом редколегії 8 випусків міжвідомчої наукової збірки «Геологія узбережжя і дна Чорного і Азовського морів». Займався поезією, в якій оспівував рідний край, друзів, важливі події в країні, рідне місто Одесу.

Помер Сергій Тихонович Бєлозоров 25 квітня 1970 року в Одесі. Похований на Другому християнському кладовищі.

Наукова діяльність
Під час навчання в аспірантурі цікавився дослідженням рельєфу, ґрунтів, геоботанічним та ландшафтним районуванням долин малих річок степової зони. Займався питанням перетворення сухих степів, досліджуючи природу державного заповідника «Асканія-Нова». Разом із директором заповідника, професором Браунером розробив методику шкільних екскурсій на природу, як позакласного виховання дітей. Вперше намагався провести експеримент в природних природних умовах із взаємодії лісів і степів, ключем до розуміння механізму він вважав режими температури і вологості, коефіцієнт зволоження. Займався регіональними кліматичними дослідженнями — праця «Клімат Одеської області». Досліджуючи степові ландшафти, описав головні відмінності ландшафтів на чорноземах і пісках Куяльницького пересипу, першим описав «приморсько-зсувний тип місцевості» на північно-західному узбережжі Чорного моря.

Підготував 4 кандидатів наук.

За роки науково-педагогічної діяльності написав 85 наукових праць.

I have three radiators in my apartment that I would like to cover (one is about 3 feet long, another is about 4 feet long, and the third is about 1 foot long; all are about 6 inches wide [measurements are estimates]). I'm not looking for anything fancy, as I'm renting the place. But it needs to be sturdy enough to support a cat jumping on and off. I've included pics of the two bigger ones.

Counselling & Support
Infertility is often difficult to manage, and is exacerbated when it is prolonged, when there isn't family or social support at hand, when there are other major stresses in your life, or when you have had other losses. The counsellor's role is to provide a framework for you to explore your thoughts and feelings, to enhance your coping strategies, and to anticipate and assist in managing IVF treatment stresses.
Our team of IVF consultants (Dr Aparna and Dr Divya) and IVF Counsellors (Dr Vidhi Shah & Mrs Mala Shah) have ample experience in taking you through this complex journey. Moreover, Dr Jatin, himself is quite easily accessible at the clinic for support.
Deciding Upon IVF
Knowing when to move on from IVF can be one of the hardest decisions a couple has to face. You can never turn around and say, 'I am only doing IVF three times' – it's not always that cut and dried. There are other options that you may wish to consider, such as egg donation or surrogacy. Some couples may choose to look towards adoption or decide to remain childless.
Coping With Failures
Even when a couple has taken great pains to make sure they prepared themselves in every way possible to ensure they have the best possible chance of conceiving, sadly it doesn't always guarantee the best desired outcome. The realisation for some couples that treatment hasn't worked can still always come as a shock, even if they did not have the most positive mind set during treatment. Again, having someone to talk to is hugely important during this emotionally challenging time.
Counselling helps couples deal with the stress of infertility and prepares them for the emotional highs and lows of treatment. At counseling sessions, patients get the chance to ask questions, learn from the experiences of a counselor who has first-hand experience with fertility treatment, learn what to expect emotionally during IVF, and develop coping strategies. When you embark on IVF treatment you may experience many different emotions; from joy and excitement to grief and disappointment. This can be an emotionally and physically challenging time, so at Mumbai Fertility and IVF, we offer confidential fertility counseling and support.
Coping With Success
When the journey for those who have been trying for a long time, have had previous miscarriages or unsuccessful IVF cycles, ends in a positive pregnancy the feeling is incredible. For many women the happiness of finding out that they are pregnant is all too quickly overtaken by a roller coaster of fear, elation and anxiety during the first trimester as they await confirmation that everything is ok.
Our experienced counselors are available at each clinic before, during and after your fertility treatment, whenever you feel you need further support or strategies to manage your treatment more confidently. Our services include:
Pre-treatment counseling
Supportive counseling.
Donor and surrogacy counseling.
For the majority of treatments, you can access our counseling services free of charge at any time during your treatment or following a cycle. We are experienced in helping individuals and couples deal with difficult circumstances and emotions, and encourage you to take positive steps through counseling so you can feel more in control of your treatment, emotions, physical health and relationships.
MFC's Supportive ART Counseling Can Help You:
Prepare for fertility treatments, and explore the options and implications when making decisions about starting, changing or stopping treatments.
Deal with the emotional and psychological impact of treatment.
Work on relationship issues (spouse, parents) that may arise as a result of treatment or may be affecting your treatment.
Cope with unsuccessful / failed treatment cycles or pregnancy losses.
Develop coping strategies for dealing with other people's pregnancies, births and children.
Deal with the reactions of families, friends and work colleagues.
Explore ways to help you feel more in control and positive.
Manage the anxieties of pregnancy and preparation for parenthood.
Deal with the specific issues related to donor treatment cycles and surrogacy.
Donor Counseling
If you are considering using donor gametes – be it eggs, sperm or embryos, you may at first feel overwhelmed by the number of issues that you need to consider when thinking about creating your family through genetic material provided by a donor. Counselling helps you consider your emotional responses to this decision, the implications of having a donor conceived child, your attitudes towards informing the child and others, and the Indian legislation regarding donor conception.
Our specialist counseling team can help you with decision making, and is available for the mandatory counseling sessions you will need to undertake.
We can provide information and support with regards to considerations such as:
Implications of having a donor-conceived child.
The concept of epigenetics and the role of the mother's DNA in donor egg pregnancies
Disclosure to the child, family, friends and extended networks.
Legislation regarding donor conception.
Considering the possible needs of the donor-conceived child.
Managing relationships/future contact with donors.
The following issues will be discussed as relevant to your situation (with third party ART)
How each partner feels about the proposed treatment
The effects of the proposed treatment on any existing children.
Who will you tell? The advantages and disadvantages of openness.
Attitudes of friends and family to the proposed treatment.
Thoughts & concerns about the future child where one parent is not the genetic parent.
Openness, secrecy and what, when and how to tell a child.
Short and long-term implications of known or anonymous donation.
Short and long-term implications of surrogacy.
The implications surrounding the legalities of egg and sperm donation and surrogacy.
Counselling / Holistic Therapy
Several kinds of emotional issues often come up for couples such as:
Dealing with the emotional rollercoaster ride associated with fertility treatment.
Coping with other peoples' pregnancies and children (relatives and friends).
How/if to tell family/friends/colleagues.
Managing Stress.
Relationship difficulties with partner/ family.
Moving towards consideration of third party options e.g. egg donation, surrogacy.
Other Relaxation Technique
Acupuncture: Research shows acupuncture is an effective, low intensity procedure that can increase a woman's physical and emotional resilience during the IVF cycle. Women who have acupuncture often report improvements in physical and mental health including better sleep and improvements in mood and self-confidence.
Reflexology: is excellent in preparing the body for IVF treatment by aiding detoxification, promoting hormonal balance and inducing relaxation. Some points on the foot are associated with a woman's egg production, and by manipulating these areas, reflexologist can improve the overall condition of the ovaries. The objective is to improve blood flow to the reproductive organs. It increases the likelihood of pregnancy for some infertile women
Yoga: It's important to try to manage or reduce your stress levels while you're trying to conceive or having fertility problems. There's evidence that stress reduction is actually beneficial to your fertility and yoga has been proven to promote relaxation and may also improve your physical health.
The emotional journey for couples trying for a baby can be extremely turbulent even at the best of times. The discovery that you may need to seek additional medical support to boost your chances of conception, as well as any resulting treatment that may be advised, can sometimes intensify obstructive negative feelings.
It is so important that both men and women have someone they can talk to about their concerns. This may be a partner, a parent, a sibling, a friend or a colleague. It really does not matter, provided you can trust someone and feel comfortable with them, which is all that may be needed. However, many couples do not feel comfortable confiding in friends and relatives. This is especially true in India where infertility is still considered as a major social stigma and IVF as taboo. This is where counselling can help. Fertility counselling is a process through which individuals and couples have the opportunity to explore their thoughts, feelings and beliefs in order to come to a greater understanding of themselves and their present situation.
Your emotional response to your situation can have a real impact on your approach to dealing with it and thereby also affect the IVF outcome. It is not always easy to keep negative feelings at bay when trying for a baby. Emotional upheaval, uncertainty and feelings of doubt and failure can at times arise and need to be tackled in a scientific and sensitive manner. Past or present experiences with treatment or spouse can also create blocks that prevent the optimal emotional circumstances for conception to take place.
The right combination of counselling, emotional/moral support, acupressure, yoga, meditation, music and hypnotherapy can be crucial for some in helping to overcome difficulties in relationships, sexual life, stress management and coping with delayed conception.
Often, a single session of counselling can be hugely effective in helping you to work through some of these issues, whereas in other cases multiple sessions may be more appropriate. You can be seen on your own or with your partner and although most counselling is done face to face, telephone / e-mail counselling is also available. You might want to share your anxieties and fears with our counsellors before you begin the IVF treatment.
Confidentiality: Whatever you discuss during your counselling session is confidential. No information will be disclosed to anyone without your permission (even to your partner if you so wish)
Mala Shah is our Specialist Fertility Counsellor. For over 20 years, Mala's work has increasingly highlighted the real difficulties that so many couples face in their highly pressurised lives, from the time of first considering IVF right through the procedure and beyond. She also has special expertise in Third Party ART procedure counselling (for egg, embryo, sperm donation and surrogacy).
Dr Vidhi Shah is also a Specialist Fertility Counsellor. For over 5 years, Vidhi's work has helped many a couple overcome the constant emotional struggle and internal battles that rage especially after a failed IVF attempt. Her gentle and reassuring approach is almost magical.
Dr Aparna Gangadharan, besides being an ace gynaecologist and chief assistant IVF consultant, is also an astute IVF counsellor. She aids the couple (often in the first visit itself) in making conscious decisions about the best treatment options, time lines and success rates. Her no-nonsense approach has endeared her to every couple who visits the clinic for treatment.
