Supplemental parenteral nutrition (SPN) is used in a step-up approach when full enteral support is contraindicated or fails to reach caloric targets. Recent nutrition guidelines present divergent advices regarding timing of SPN in critically ill patients ranging from early SPN (<48 h after admission; EPN) to postponing initiation of SPN until day 8 after Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission (LPN). This systematic review summarizes results of prospective studies among adult ICU patients addressing the best timing of (supplemental) parenteral nutrition (S)PN. A structured PubMed search was conducted to identify eligible articles. Articles were screened and selected using predetermined criteria and appraised for relevance and validity. After critical appraisal, four randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and two prospective observational studies remained. One RCT found a higher percentage of alive discharge from the ICU at day 8 in the LPN group compared to EPN group (p = 0.007) but no differences in ICU and in-hospital mortality. None of the other RCTs found differences in ICU or in-hospital mortality rates. Contradicting or divergent results on other secondary outcomes were found for ICU length of stay, hospital length of stay, infection rates, nutrition targets, duration of mechanical ventilation, glucose control, duration of renal replacement therapy, muscle wasting and fat loss. Although the heterogeneity in quality and design of relevant studies precludes firm conclusions, it is reasonable to assume that in adult critically ill patients, there are no clinically relevant benefits of EPN compared with LPN with respect to morbidity or mortality end points, when full enteral support is contraindicated or fails to reach caloric targets. However, considering that infectious morbidity and resolution of organ failure may be negatively affected through mechanisms not yet clearly understood and acquisition costs of parenteral nutrition are higher, the early administration of parenteral nutrition cannot be recommended.
Nutritional support in the intensive care unit (ICU) is highly debated as critically ill patients are frequently hypermetabolic, catabolic and at risk of both underfeeding and overfeeding. Enteral nutrition (EN) is frequently recommended over parenteral nutrition (PN) as it may preserve gut mucosal barrier function , and has been shown to demonstrate beneficial effects on (gut) immunity. The current literature shows evidence in favour of early enteral nutrition (EEN) commenced within 24 to 48 h after ICU admission . EEN is associated with decreased morbidity (lower infection rates, better wound healing, decreased mechanical ventilation duration, ICU and hospital length of stay and duration of recovery)  and even reduced mortality . Therefore, EN is the preferred route over parenteral nutrition whenever EN is possible.
Achieving caloric targets with EN may be challenging in the critically ill. A caloric deficit frequently occurs due to slow intake progression, unnecessary stoppages, delayed gastric emptying, enteral feed intolerance and delays in post-pyloric feeding tube placement . The cumulative deficit or caloric debt has been reported to be associated with adverse clinical outcomes. Villet and co-workers showed that delayed initiation of feeding resulted in a marked cumulative energy debt during the first week after ICU admission associated with an increase in infectious complications, days of mechanical ventilation and length of ICU stay. However, possibly not only energy deficit but also deficient protein intake may be relevant and is suggested to play a role in outcome ,.
In recent guidelines, controversy regarding the timing of supplemental PN (SPN) in ICU patients was found -. The European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) guidelines recommend the addition of SPN within 24 to 48 h in patients who are expected to be intolerant to EN within 72 h of admission , whereas the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN) recommends postponing the initiation of PN until day 8 after ICU admission .
SPN is used in a step-up approach when full enteral support is not possible or fails to reach caloric targets. This review based on a systematic literature review summarizes results of trials reported in ICU patients addressing the optimal timing of (S)PN.
A search was conducted on 4 November 2013 in PubMed to identify all published studies reporting on trials addressing the timing of (supplemental) parenteral nutrition in critically ill adult patients, combining synonyms for domain and determinants: ('critically ill' OR 'Intensive Care' OR 'ICU') AND ((parenteral OR intravenous OR i.v.) AND (feeding OR feedings OR nutrition OR pharmaconutrition)). No limits were used.
Duplicates were excluded and remaining references were screened using titles, abstracts and subsequently full texts. Inclusion criteria were compatible domains and determinants and a full text available in Dutch, English or German languages. Exclusion criteria were animal studies, nonadult studies, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, opinion papers, case reports, and evaluation studies of guidelines. References were reviewed for additional studies.
Using standardized criteria , all selected articles were appraised on relevance and validity (Table 1). Limitations in studies were evaluated, selected from letters to editors and reported per study.

Results are presented as primary end points per study and grouped by relevant end points. No recalculations of statistics of original results were performed.
The search strategy yielded a total of 3,520 articles (Figure 1). After the removal of duplicates and screening on predefined criteria, six articles remained (Table 2). Four studies were randomized controlled trials (RCTs) ,-, and two articles were prospective observational studies ,.

Results are shown in Tables 4 and 5. Casaer  reported a higher percentage of alive discharge from ICU after day 8 in the LPN group compared to EPN (p = 0.007) but no difference in ICU and in-hospital mortality. None of the other RCTs ,, observed differences in ICU or in-hospital mortality rates. Even after a follow-up of 2 years no mortality differences were found.
Kutsogiannis  found a higher mortality rate in LPN compared to EN, and the rate of patients discharged alive from hospital was lower in the group that received SPN compared to EN. However, in this study, no mortality analysis was performed comparing EPN and LPN.
Results are shown in Tables 4 and 6. All studies - examined ICU length of stay and hospital length of stay resulting in contradictory results. In three studies ,,, there was no difference in ICU length of stay among all study groups. The other three studies reported results that are more difficult to interpret. Casaer reported an increased length of stay in the ICU in the EPN group compared to LPN (median 4 versus 3 days, respectively) . Cahill and Kutsogiannis found a shorter stay in the EN group, compared to the PN groups. However, no analysis was performed comparing EPN and LPN ,.
Results are shown in Tables 4 and 6. Hospital length of stay was significantly prolonged in the EPN group compared to the LPN group in the study by Casaer . However, Bauer  found a significantly shorter hospital length of stay in the EPN group. Both Cahill  and Kutsogiannis , found a shorter length of stay in the hospital in patients not receiving any form of PN. They did not compare EPN with LPN. In the other studies, there was no difference in hospital length of stay ,.
Results are shown in Tables 4 and 7. Rates of nosocomial infections were higher in patients receiving EPN in the study by Casaer compared to LPN (p = 0.008) . Heidegger showed significantly lower infection rates in the PN group (27% [41/153]) compared with EN (38% [58/152]) (hazard ratio (HR) 0.65 (95% CI 0.43 to 0.97); p = 0.0338) . In addition, the number of antibiotic days was found significantly less in the PN group. However, Heidegger reported data on new infections after day 9, whereas randomization took place after day 3. SPN was provided on day 4, and the SPN group had more total infectious events between day 4 and day 8 (34% [52/153] versus 28% [43/152]). Total infections between day 4 and day 28 are similar (114/153 versus 100/152) and nonsignificantly different -.
No differences were found in infection rates in patients receiving EPN in other studies ,.
Results are shown in Table 8. The studies by Cahill and Kutsogiannis found a more adequate intake of calories in the EPN group (74.1% and 81.2%, respectively; p < 0.0001) compared to the LPN group (57.4% and 64.3%, respectively; p < 0.0001) ,. Similar results were found when addressing the adequacy of protein intake (71.5% and 80.1%, respectively, in the EPN group compared to 53.2% and 59.9%, respectively, in the LPN group; p < 0.0001). Heidegger  observed a higher rate of patients reaching their calculated energy target in the PN group compared to the EN group (mean energy delivery as percentage of target was 103% and 77%, respectively; p < 0.0001).
Results are shown in Table 9. Duration of mechanical ventilation data showed divergent results among studies. When EN in combination with EPN is compared to EN with a placebo, no differences were found , but comparing EPN with standard care showed a shorter duration of mechanical ventilation (0.47 days) in favour of EPN (p = 0.01) . In contrast, in LPN patients, Casaer reported a relative reduction of mechanical ventilation duration (9.7%) among patients requiring ≥2 days of mechanical ventilation compared with EPN .
LPN was associated with a longer duration of mechanical ventilation in both observational studies when compared with EN (18.2 versus 9.3 median days; p < 0.001  and 14.5 versus 8.4 median days; p = 0.007 ). However, they did not compare EPN and LPN. Furthermore, the study by Heidegger showed no differences in mechanical ventilation duration comparing LPN to EN (mean 153 versus 166 h; p = 0.2912 ).
Results are shown in Table 9. Casaer  found a significant shorter duration of renal replacement therapy (RRT) among patients on LPN compared with EPN (median 7 versus 10 days, p = 0.008). Other studies investigating RRT duration did not find significant differences ,.
Results are shown in Table 9. In one study glucose control was more strict in the EPN than in the placebo group (p = 0.0392) . Hypoglycaemia more often occurred in the LPN patients compared with EPN patients (3.5% versus 1.9%; p = 0.001) in one study ; however, no differences in hypoglycaemia were found in another .
Results are shown in Table 9. Doig  reported less muscle wasting (0.43 versus 0.27 score increase per week; mean difference −0.16; 95% CI −0.28 to −0.038; p = 0.01) and fat loss (0.44 versus 0.31 score increase per week; mean difference −0.13; 95% CI −0.25 to −0.01; p = 0.04) based on Subjective Global Assessment in the EPN group compared with standard care.
We reviewed relevant studies on early or late SPN in critically ill adult patients. Results should be interpreted with caution as study populations differed markedly (medical versus surgical versus mixed) and often different primary and secondary end points were addressed. Furthermore, definitions for early and late SPN varied markedly. For this reason, we decided not to provide forest plots of results.
Mortality rates at various end points showed no significant differences between EPN and LPN groups. Follow-up duration in the selected studies varied from 28 days until 2 years. This may have resulted in incorrect lower ICU or hospital mortality rates in studies with shorter follow-ups, as some patients still may have been hospitalized at day 28. However, early SPN does not show to reduce mortality.
Commencing early PN does not result in benefits in ICU or hospital length of stay. Duration of renal replacement therapy may increase by EPN. Effects on duration of mechanical ventilation are contradictory. Doig  showed that EPN resulted in significantly fewer days of invasive ventilation; however, the mean reduction of ventilation duration was only 0.47 days and could not be translated into a significantly shorter ICU or hospital length of stay. In contrast, Casaer showed that more patients needed prolonged ventilation in the EPN group .
Infections reported after randomization were either nonsignificant or increased during EPN. The lower number of antibiotic days and more antibiotic-free days in the EPN group versus the LPN group in the study by Heidegger may be explained by either a lower total number of infections reported in the EPN group or only reporting infections after day 9 (and randomization occurred at day 3). Early SPN does not reduce infectious morbidity and even seems to increase infection rates.
Three studies examined the energy, calorie and protein delivery ,, and found that PN promotes reaching energy and protein targets. Within the PN groups, EPN resulted in more optimal intake of calories and proteins, suggesting better feeding adequacy compared with LPN. Strikingly, these findings do not translate into marked differences in end points.
Effects on glucose regulation and incidence of hypoglycaemia were not consistent. Other studies have demonstrated clearly that parenteral nutrition negatively affects insulin sensitivity and that parenteral-nutrition-induced hyperglycaemia is associated with increased morbidity and mortality .
One study reported EPN to be protective against both muscle wasting and fat loss. Although this might be expected to translate into improved recovery of physical function, mortality and length of stay obtained 60 days after enrolment did not differ between groups . Meanwhile, a preplanned substudy of the EPaNIC study showed that early parenteral nutrition did not prevent the wasting of skeletal muscle in critical illness and increased the amount of adipose tissue within the muscle compartments .
In general, acquisition costs for parenteral nutrition are higher compared with enteral nutrition ,.
Doig and co-workers showed a small reduction in duration of mechanical ventilation in patients on EPN . This incurred lower costs estimated at US$3,150 per patient (95% confidence interval US$1,314 to US$4,990) . In contrast, Casaer and co-workers showed significantly higher expenditures up to a mean total cost increase of 1,210.00 EUR/patient (p = 0.02) by EPN, when incorporating the full PN costs. This was mainly due to the acquisition costs of PN and anti-infective medications .
We believe that a reasonable interpretation of the present evidence is that EPN in adult critically ill patients does not confer clinically relevant benefits compared to LPN with respect to morbidity and mortality end points. Some studies report small benefits, others no effect or even increased morbidity.
Patients that reach energy and protein targets by the enteral route show better outcomes than patients that did not ,, whereas reaching these targets through addition of PN seems to provide different and potentially less beneficial effects. Clearly, providing calories and proteins through EN or PN induces divergent effects.
At present, it is unclear which factors induce the negative pathophysiological effects of early administration of PN that counterbalance the beneficial effect of a more optimal nutritional intake with respect to calories and proteins. Potentially, SPN may interfere with the early inflammatory response present in most ICU patients. Among negative effects, autophagy has been suggested. Autophagy is the basic catabolic mechanism that involves cell degradation of unnecessary or dysfunctional cellular components through the actions of lysosomes. A planned subanalysis of the EPaNIC trial  found that tolerating a substantial macronutrient deficit early during a critical illness did not affect muscle wasting but allowed more efficient activation of autophagic quality control of myofibres and reduced weakness. Thus, SPN may hamper the autophagy phenotype. The role of autophagy prevention in critically ill patients has to be determined in the future. Other suggestive negative effects of SPN are increased risk of overfeeding and refeeding, fat overload, glucose intolerance and immune-modulating effects of lipids .
Several limitations in the selected studies were found. Two studies , were not randomized controlled trials; therefore, inclusion bias may have occurred, treatment was not blinded and we found statistically significant differences in baseline characteristics. Furthermore, results were based on partly overlapping study groups. In the Cahill study , all surgical patients were excluded to select a more homogenous study population, as surgical patients typically are more difficult to feed, have lower tolerance to EN, and receive less nutrition compared to medical patients. This reduces external validity for surgical ICU patients. Furthermore, both groups receiving PN (EPN versus LPN) were relatively small potentially causing insufficient power to detect clinically relevant differences.
The study by Heidegger and co-workers  was heavily criticized for performing analyses on new infections between days 9 and 28, whereas randomization occurred on day 3. The registered protocol indicated that the primary outcome was the infection rate in the first 28 days, not just between day 9 and day 28. SPN was provided on day 4, and the SPN group had more total infectious events between day 4 and day 8 (34% [52/153] versus 28% [43/152]). Total infections between day 4 and day 28 appear quite similar (114 versus 100). Selective outcome bias seems to be present -.
Then, the authors state that 25 to 30 kcal/kg per day was the target for adequate energy intake. But control patients received only 20 kcal/kg per day, potentially increasing the risk of underfeeding-related complications, such as infections. The intervention group, which received 28 kcal/kg per day through enteral nutrition plus 10 kcal/kg per day parenterally, showed a significantly lower rate of infections compared with the control group receiving 20 kcal/kg per day. The authors conclude in favour of the parenteral supplementation; however, observed differences might be only related to a higher calorie intake .
The study performed by Doig  was prematurely terminated for financial reasons. This has changed the period of follow-up and therefore might have influenced the presented results.
Finally, in the study by Casaer , almost 90% of the patients studied were surgical patients, the majority of whom (58.5%) appeared to be admitted electively. Study patients remained in the ICU for a limited time, with more than 70% of subjects averaging only a 3- to 4-day length of stay. These patients were only moderately severely ill, with an 8% ICU mortality. Therefore, this could suggest that external validity for critically ill patients with higher severity of illness and medical patients is limited; however, a post-hoc sensitivity analysis addressing the effects of severity of illness did not impact on the reported results . Furthermore, it is hard to attribute all adverse events in this study to early PN, when the majority of study patients received limited exposure to early PN and more than 70% of the late PN group did not receive PN at all. It is therefore conceivable that benefits of late PN were seen because the majority of patients received no PN or early high-glucose loading. Patients randomized to the EPN group received glucose 20% at 40 ml/h on the admission day, in contrast to patients randomized to the LPN group. They received a volume of glucose 5% that was required to obtain adequate hydration taking into account the volume of EN that was being delivered . In addition, all patients in both groups were managed by tight glucose control, using the protocol reported by Van den Berghe ,. This concept of tight glucose control has subsequently been shown to be ineffective and potentially harmful . It is unclear how this glucose loading and tight glucose regulation strategy impact on the reported effects of early and late SPN.
Other methodological issues may have influenced reported results such as incorrect interpretation of data due to inappropriate censoring for time-to-event analyses when the duration of follow-up is not identical for all subjects. This could be relevant for end points such as ICU and hospital length of stay or hospital mortality. This problem can be circumvented by reporting landmark time-to-event analysis (for example, 180-day mortality) in all patients . As this has not been done in many studies, inappropriate censoring may be present and may invalidate reported data.
Strengths of this systematic review are the large number of patients studied in the selected studies (n = 10,060) and the structured analysis and appraisal of the available literature.
However, several limitations of this systematic review also have to be mentioned. Definitions of EPN and LPN are different among studies. When the 'early' period stops and the 'late' period starts is not defined. Late may be considered at the end of the first week . Furthermore, the study design, year of patient inclusion and primary and secondary end point variations may affect interpretation of overall results. Moreover, insufficient information is available on vitamins, trace elements and parenteral lipids used.
In adult critically ill patients, when full enteral nutrition support is not possible or fails to reach caloric targets, early administration of supplemental parenteral nutrition compared with late administration (at the end of the first week after ICU admission) does not confer major benefits with respect to morbidity and mortality. However, considering that infectious morbidity and resolution of organ failure may be negatively affected through mechanisms not yet clearly understood and acquisition costs of parenteral nutrition are higher compared with enteral nutrition, the early administration of parenteral nutrition cannot be recommended. Additional research is warranted to recommend the optimal timing of SPN in critically ill adults.

"Incredibly Unlikely" Mr. Mister Will Ever Reunite, According to Former Drummer
The two-hit wonders came very close to a reformation five years ago, but it quickly fell apart
By blastecho on March 11, 2016
Mr. Mister (November 2010)
Two songs are indelible and so, quite frankly, is the band name, which makes it almost seem like Mr. Mister still exist exist (yes, that was intentional). Alas, the '80s pop band—which featured Richard Page (vocals/bass), Steve George (guitar), Steve Farris (guitar) and Pat Mastelotto (drums)—disbanded a quarter-century ago. Save for the release of Pull, an album the band originally recorded around their dissolution but wasn't released until 20 years later, there's been no news on the Mr. Mister front since 1990.
According to Mastelotto, Mr. Mister has seriously considered reforming several times in the past, including as recently as five years ago, but for one reason or another it never came to fruition. The tour five years ago—which would have co-billed Mr. Mister with Tears for Fears and Level 42—was in discussions until Page got a call from Ringo Starr to tour as part of His All Starr Band, which abruptly changed those plans.
With His All Starr Band, Page sings lead on several songs, including Mr. Mister's biggest hits, the 1985 Billboard chart-toppers "Kyrie" and "Broken Wings." "It's a cushy gig for Rich," jokes Mastelotto.
Today Mastelotto believes it's "incredibly unlikely" that Mr. Mister will ever reunite. "We're all busy with other things," he says. "Moving ahead."
Mastelotto certainly isn't waiting by the phone. He already has the entirety of his 2016 calendar booked, including gigs with King Crimson, O.R.k., KoMaRa and Stick Men, the outfit featuring fellow King Crimson member Tony Levin and Markus Reuter. Stick Men will begin a U.S. tour on April 13 in New Hope, PA.
That said, Mastelotto said he "happy to work with [the guys in Mr. Mister] if they ever want to" before conceding "we've all spun off in different directions."

As part of the ongoing renovation of this 50acre country estate, extensive redesign and replanting of a south facing terrace and east facing courtyard have been undertaken. The terrace was given structure and greater formality through the addition of large yew cubes, and a new planting scheme featuring sun loving perennials and grasses.
The courtyard was previously a large expanse of featureless gravel. As this part of the house dates back to Tudor times a design inspired by the gardens of that era was implemented, featuring beech cubes and a quatrefoil water feature, with a link planting of Tibetan cherries and naturalistic perennials leading to a bridge over the adjacent lake.


Is fluoride toothpaste bad for very young children?
Children under the age of three must not be given toothpastes containing fluoride [and] many usually tend to swallow it because of its flavour. Too much fluoride can cause systemic toxicity in a child's body.
What is fluorosis? Why does it affect only children?
Fluoride is a mineral and just as calcium strengthens bones, fluoride is meant to make teeth stronger by being absorbed by the tooth. However, it can result in hyper-mineralisation (excess mineralisation) of the tooth enamel in children below eight years and result in white stains on the enamel. Dental fluorosis affects children only below 8 years. The greatest risk is from birth to 8, particularly between 15 and 30 months. Fluoride intake after the age of 8 cannot cause fluorosis.
How much toothpaste is required for children?
International guidelines by the American Association of Paediatric Dentists (AAPD), the European Association of Paediatric Dentists (EAPD), the International Association of Paediatric Dentists (IAPD) and the Emirates Paediatric Dentistry Club (EPDC) are pretty much the same — a rice-grain-size bead of toothpaste for children below 6 and pea-size one for everyone else above 6 years including adults.
We, in Dubai, recommend pea-sized toothpaste blob for everyone. That is because apart from lather and foam and flavour, the tooth paste does not do anything — it is the brushing techniques that really maintain dental hygiene.
How many times a day should children under 6 brush their teeth?
The simple formula is 2x2 recommended by the AAPD. Everyone must brush their teeth twice a day — in the morning after waking up and before going to bed. It is not recommended to brush more than two times. After major meals, it is recommended to gargle with lukewarm water to wash away food particles.
Upto what age should parents supervise brushing?
It is important that parents supervise their children's brushing routine as the brushing technique is the most important. In order of priority, the most important is the brushing technique, next is the brush and third, the toothpaste.
Parents must be aware their children need to brush for at least two minutes each time. Mothers often come to me saying, "My child brushes his teeth for three seconds". That is not correct. Parents can introduce a brushing routine where everyone does it together and they can supervise their children's brushing up to the age of 12 or 14 until permanent teeth emerge.
When is the right time to introduce children to brushing?
Children's teeth have to be brushed even before they appear. From the time a child is born and begins breast feeding, the mother must take a fine muslin/silk cloth soaked in warm water and gently massage the gums to clean the milk residue from the gums as an infant can get fungal infection on the gums with milk residues.
The mother must do the same after every bottle feed as well until the child has milk teeth. Once the milk teeth emerge, parents can use a small brush that fits over the index finger to clean the teeth. After two years, the child can have a special child-size brush and use this type until the age of 14.
1) It's round and round (an elliptical movement), up and down (vertical movement), inside and outside (to cover inner and outer enamel surface), and in between (to push out food debris).
Give the child a toothbrush and let them play with it for a bit and then move to a 2-minute brushing routine. Once they are trained, teach them to do it by themselves under your watchful eye.
After the age of eight, supervise their brushing technique and ensure it continues to be a full 2-minute duration. The technique is what helps loosen the plaque build-up.
Do 'fun' toothbrushes and toothpastes designed for kids make a difference?
No. It's a novelty factor and a child might be attracted to the colours or the cartoon characters on it and be motivated to brush. When picking a brush, the shape is important.
From the age of 0-2: Use an organic toothpaste with no chemicals. Muslin cloth and later, an index finger, can be used as a 'brush'.
From age of 2-8: Use a herbal or non-fluoride toothpaste with medium bristles brush. A toothbrush should have a small head so it fits into the child's mouth and the handle should be broad with a rubber grip for the child to be able to brush well.
From the age of 8: Use a fluoride-based toothpaste making sure fluoride is not more than 500-750 ppm (parts per million; read the label)). The child must not be given more than a pea-sized blob for each brushing. The kid's toothbrush should be medium bristles and strong anti-skid handle.
Fluoride-based formulas: We recommend fluoride-based toothpastes as fluoride is a mineral supplement that some studies have indicated causes fewer tooth cavities. Usually our teeth have an acid reaction owing to food debris leading to cavities. Studies have shown that using a small amount of fluoride strengthens teeth, lowering the incidence of cavities.
What is the state of dental health in children in UAE, particularly under 10 years of age?
There is very low awareness about dental hygiene in both parents and children in the UAE. I have children as young as two come in for root canal in their milk teeth. Parents are not educated about dental hygiene and only come to us when their child has swelling or pain in his teeth.
The main reasons for poor dental health is the use of bottles and pacifiers in infants that result in bad milk teeth health. For slightly older children, it is the easy availability of junk food and candies and the overindulgence of parents.
The most common problems that children come to us is with pain, swelling, inflamed gums and cavtiies. There must be a protocol introduced by the KHDA to train parents of schoolgoing children in proper dental hygiene. Like an immunisation schedule parents must follow a dental schedule. This must include the compulsory teeth brushing two times a day, regular gargling between meals, controlled eating of junk and candied food and visit to the dentist, once in six months to evaluate dental health.

Malaysia Wants to Break Up Big Firms Without Hurting Stocks
Yantoultra Ngui
Jan 15 2020, 3:30 AM Jan 15 2020, 5:34 PM January 15 2020, 3:30 AM January 15 2020, 5:34 PM
(Bloomberg) -- Follow Bloomberg on LINE messenger for all the business news and analysis you need.
Malaysia is considering the merits of having the state control its biggest companies, after moves to break up their dominance in sectors from the Internet to electricity led to declines in Asia's worst major stock market.
The government needs to review on a case-by-case basis whether it needs to hold on to its golden shares in state-linked firms, as the 1MDB scandal proves it's still needed, Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said on Tuesday. His administration has sought to make the companies more efficient to meet its campaign promise of lowering living costs, a drive that analysts expect to benefit the economy in the long run.
Yet Mahathir walks a tightrope as he tries to overhaul state-linked firms that have stifled competition, without causing an earnings upheaval and spooking investors. The U.S.-China trade war that triggered foreign stock outflows across Asia hasn't helped either -- Malaysia's benchmark index fell 6% last year, the most since 2008.
State operator Telekom Malaysia Bhd. was the first hit when the country slashed broadband prices as part of an election pledge. That triggered a loss of almost $1 billion in its market value since May 2018. Now, power firm Tenaga Nasional Bhd. is bracing for new players as the government moves to open up the retail electricity market. Its shares have slumped 18% since September 2018 when the government first mooted the plan.
As Malaysia Braces For Power Reforms, Tenaga Mulls Bond Program
"The government's push for industry specific and procedural reforms aimed at increasing competition and transparency are for the greater good in the long-term," said Geoffrey Ng, director at Fortress Capital Asset Management Sdn. It's the lack of public education and market engagement that created short-term uncertainty, "resulting in perception of increased policy risk when investing in Malaysia," he added.
While Malaysians welcomed cheaper Internet and the prospect of smaller electricity bills, some of the cost may be borne by state funds Permodalan Nasional Bhd. and Employees Provident Fund, which are among the biggest shareholders in the companies.
Golden Shares
Public pension fund EPF, which owns a 16% stake each in Telekom and Tenaga, said its investment income fell 7.6% to 13.5 billion ringgit ($3.3 billion) in the third quarter from a year ago due to the decline in Malaysia's stock market.
Permodalan, or PNB, announced its lowest income distribution since 1990 to unit holders of Amanah Saham Bumiputera, which owns 12% of Telekom and 9% of Tenaga. PNB was formed by the government in 1978 to help boost the wealth of ethnic Malays and indigenous people, who can buy its trusts.
Telekom shares dropped 1.8% as of the midday break in Kuala Lumpur trading, while Tenaga slid 1.1 percent.
"The government should be more cognizant of the impact of policy changes on publicly traded companies and service providers," said Alexander Chia, head of regional equity research at RHB Bank Bhd. That includes consulting stakeholders and giving the market enough time to prepare for the changes "to avoid shocking the system," he added.
Representatives for the finance ministry, EPF and Telekom declined to comment, while a representative for Tenaga didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.
Khazanah Nasional Bhd. called for the government to move away from the practice of using golden shares to have clout over state-owned companies, and to wield its influence through legislation and regulators instead, Managing Director Shahril Ridza Ridzuan said at the same conference where Mahathir spoke on Tuesday in Kuala Lumpur. A golden share allows the government to outvote all other shareholders on certain matters, such as in appointing chief executive officers.
To be sure, the reform has pushed the companies to become leaner. Telekom cut costs by dismissing workers, renegotiating contracts and delaying capital spending. UBS Group AG analyst expects its net income to rise to 412 million ringgit in the fourth quarter, which would be the biggest since 2011, from 261.3 million in the previous period.
Tenaga is splitting itself into three units, including one to handle retail electricity, and planning a debt sale for the first time since 2017 to gear up for new competition.
"GLC reforms are definitely good for the country," said Mohd Afzanizam Abdul Rashid, the chief economist of Bank Islam Malaysia Bhd., referring to government-linked companies. "The way I see it, the critical thing to do is to ensure that the GLC's existence will not crowd out the private investment."
The move to open up industries dominated by state companies is also meant to encourage smaller private companies to take a bigger role in the economy. Malaysia wants small and medium-sized enterprises to contribute 50% to the gross domestic product, from 38.3% in 2018.
As Mahathir put it, the government has "no business to be in business."
Overall, the government's handling of the corporate reform has improved, said RHB's Chia. While the broadband price cut was abrupt, the government is now communicating well and phasing in the plan to open up the electricity sector, he said.
"It was a steep learning curve, but the Pakatan Harapan government is getting better at engaging markets," Chia said.

Fred Handler Park at McGraw-Jennings Field is a baseball venue in St. Bonaventure, New York, United States.  It is home to the St. Bonaventure Bonnies baseball team of the NCAA Division I Atlantic 10 Conference.

Naming
The field is named for John McGraw and Hugh Jennings, who coached the baseball program from 1892 to 1895.  Both McGraw and Jennings are members of the National Baseball Hall of Fame.  The park is named for Fred Handler, St. Bonaventure head baseball coach from 1960 to 1981, assistant basketball coach from 1960 to 1970, professor of physical education from 1959 to 1997, and member of the university's Athletics Hall of Fame.  Previously known simply as McGraw-Jennings Field, the venue's name was changed to its current one on 9 September 2006.

Renovations and features
In 2006, the field underwent extensive renovations due to the US$900,000 donation of trustee and former baseball player Thomas Marra.  The renovations included new bullpens, dugouts, fencing, and a Sport Turf XP surface.  The field also features a press box and berm seating areas down both foul lines.

Beyond jewelry and chocolate this Valentine's Day, give your love a night out.
While we all think of flowers and chocolates when we think of Valentine's Day and the last romantic days of winter, in 2019, the gift of experiences is far outweighing the sentiments expressed on greeting cards or little trinkets found in a strip mall.
This Valentine's Day, why not get your sweetheart something they'll remember for a lifetime, even though they can't hold it in their hand?
Many couples want to make memories together, and there is no better way than a cozy dinner for two at any of Gainesville's incredible local restaurants. Many locales even have a pre-fixe menu full of enchanting foods from appetizer to dessert. Some even include champagne.
Amelia's Cucina Casalinga, at 235 South Main St., is a popular favorite if you're in the mood for Italian food. Every dish is prepared from scratch, from the antipasto dishes to mainstay classics like fettuccine alfredo, lasagna, chicken parmigiana and more. For more adventurous fares, check out the Scaloppine Zingara, a veal dish with artichokes, olives and capers; or the Dentice Napoli, a red snapper dish with garlic and lemon (you can have grouper if you prefer). Leave room for dessert; there's flan, cannoli, tiramisu and even New York-style cheesecake.
You can make a reservation online or call them at 373-1919. Keep in mind that if you miss the Valentine's Day holiday, it will be a bit before you can get in for a make-up. Amelia's will be closed from Feb. 17 through Feb. 25 this year.
For lighter cuisine, Dragonfly, located at 201 SE Second Ave., typically offers a five-course meal for the holiday. Last year, it was $130 for the whole shebang. The sushi restaurant also cooks up soups and noodles, and grilled fare. You can reserve spots online or call them at 371-3359.
And if you'd prefer a more traditional Valentine's dinner, Embers also offers a pre-fixe menu. Last year's was $100 not including alcohol. The steakhouse is known for its high-class romantic atmosphere, and it's slightly off the beaten path of downtown, where you can find Valentine's Day classics like The Paramount Grill and Manuel's Vintage Room.
Of course, it being the season, make sure you call anywhere you are going well in advance for reservations.
For some couples, a meal alone isn't as romantic as quality time. Whether you do some of these as a couple or gift your loved one some well-deserved solo reflection, a visit to a local spa for a massage or facial could put the spark back into your relationship.
Cloud 9 Spa, at 6500 Southwest Archer Road, has packages ranging from $120 to $300 and from 90 minutes to three hours, depending on whether you're looking for a pedicure, different massage options or full facials. They also offer manicures, hair design, waxing and threading, and basically all of your beauty needs.
Meanwhile, Hand and Stone, at 4122 NW 16th Blvd., offers couples' massage packages, like traditional massage or hot stone massage, with special introductory offers if it's your first time. And if you are looking for a facial, instead, Hand and Stone has 15 different treatments to choose from.
Perhaps it's not an experience outside the home your partner needs, but an experience within. Cleaning and errand services can be a needed relief at this point in the winter season, and what better way to free up some time than getting a maid service to clean the bathroom?
You could call A Personal Elf at 271-1111 for a one-time house cleaning, or make it a routine. If you just want laundry done, they offer a laundry and dry-cleaning service, and they even have an errand service, if you'd like to knock grocery shopping off your list for a few weeks.
For the more traditional cleaning route, there is always Mini Maid at 374-4141, which offers $30 off the first two cleanings of new customers. When the service is in your home, the two of you can go on an excursion, too, then come back to a sparkling clean abode.
And these are just a few suggestions out of the dozens of restaurants, spas and cleaning services out there. This Valentine's Day, consider giving an experience over a thing.

Washington, Nov 9: Republican candidate Donald Trump pulled off dramatic wins to edge past Democratic contender Hillary Clinton in one of the most bitterly contested US Presidential battles.
Scoring victories in some states that had been projected to go the Clinton way, Trump led with 216 electoral votes against his opponent's 209, the Washington Post reported. The winner will need 270 electoral votes to take charge of the White House.
The New York Times -- for the first time -- gave Trump a whopping 95 per cent chances of becoming the next US President, proving wrong most pundits who had predicted a slim Clinton win in a tightly fought election.
Tuesday's election capped months of ugly, personal attacks that took the toll on American voters, many of whom were said they were eager for a change in Washington.
The former Secretary of State's biggest win came from California after early projected victories in New York, Texas, Vermont, Illinois, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Maryland, Rhode Island, Delaware, Connecticut, the District of Columbia and Hawaii.
Vermont Senator and former presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders voted for Clinton and again called for Trump's defeat.
Clinton appeared to be leading Trump by a few per cent points in the early national polls but Trump -- who had always been confident of winning -- came back strongly.
"I wish the campaign would not have been so contentious and negative," he said. "I'm just glad it's over."
Wearing a bright red cap with "Make America Free Again," Trump supporter Alex Burlak was a rare sighting in the Borough that was considered more liberal than the rest of the city.
Burlak, a pharmacy owner, said he believed Clinton was the most corrupt politician in US history and "never told the truth in public, ever".
In Frederick Samuel Community Centre in Harlem, northern New York City, voter Desiree Kennedy did not want to disclose whom she had voted for, but said: "Honestly, I don't care about either of the candidates."
In Williamsburg Community Centre in Brooklyn, Scott, a start-up owner in his 30s who only gave his first name, said: "I voted for Trump because I want something completely different."
Trump's campaign saw dramatic ups and downs.
Trump's numbers surged recently after the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) re-opened its investigation into Clinton's email scandal.

Reserve Bank of New Zealand Holds Rates: ETFs in Focus
Zacks Equity Research
Zacks June 23, 2017
New Zealand's central bank held its key rates intact at 1.75%. Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) governor Graeme Wheeler kept rates unchanged in May and suggested that rates might not go up in the near future.
The governor reiterated the action in its most recent monetary policy setting meeting in June. The New Zealand dollar held onto gains against the greenback owing to this action. This was despite the fact that inflation reached the mid-point of its target range of 1–3%.
The governor stated that a weaker New Zealand dollar is expected to rebalance growth and that the surge in the currency is temporary, which has been caused by higher export prices. However, Zoe Wallis, chief economist at Kiwibank in Wellington, in a discussion with Bloomberg, cited the currency's recent surge to the lack of direction on exchange rate policies in the RBNZ meeting. Moreover, a faster-than-expected inflation growth might push the RBNZ to implement interest rate hikes sooner than the third quarter of 2019.
The governor also said that the growth outlook remains positive and expects inflation to remain at around 2%. Consumer prices rose 2.2% in the first quarter of 2017, up from 1.3% in the previous period. The economy advanced 0.5% in the first quarter of 2017, up from 0.4% in the earlier quarter. Moreover, the nation's business confidence measured by the ANZ Business Confidence Index increased to 14.9 in May 2017 from 11 in the previous month.
Let us now discuss the most popular New Zealand ETF, ENZL (see all Asia-Pacific (Developed) ETFs here).
iShares MSCI New Zealand Capped ETF ENZL
This ETF provides exposure to equities of companies based out of New Zealand. The fund has AUM of $162.15 million and charges 48 basis points as fees per year. From a sector look, Utilities, Health Care and Industrials take the top three spots, with 17.90%, 16.22% and 14.41% allocation, respectively (as of June 20, 2017). From an individual holding perspective, Spark New Zealand Ltd, Auckland International Airport Ltd and Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corp are among the top holdings of the ETF, with 9.89%, 9.49% and 9.07% allocation, respectively (as of June 20, 2017). The fund has returned 7.60% in the last one year and 13.67% year to date (as of June 21, 2017). ENZL currently carries a Zacks ETF Rank #3 (Hold) with a Low risk outlook.
We will now compare the performance of ENZL to a broad Asia Pacific ETF, DVYA.

The New Zealand ETF significantly outperformed its broader Asia Pacific counterpart. Though the economy has been doing well, there is increased uncertainty about the path inflation and interest rates will take. As a result, we believe it is best to remain on the sidelines for now.

Q: Creating a queue of songs Discord.js I've finally figured out a way of make my Discord bot play audio from YouTube,using the library "yt-dl".
I've made all commands needed for play the song.
Play, pause, stop(ends the song).
I did a simple command for the play such as, play the song, from the URL provided by the user. How could I maybe create a queue? And then, make it play the next song in the queue when the current one ends?

A: You can simply just create a list for your songs, to check how to create a list, check this post here. (You can also use an array, which may help if you just simply wants to restrict how long your queue can be)
(There is also a guy who created a list function for javascript, it works like .NET's generic list, you can check it out here.)
You might also want to create an object to store your song details to be inside your list.

A:     var servers = {}; //obj

    var id = "HgzGwKwLmgM" //"something"
    //need provide id ^

    //example if with array <inside play function>
     if (!servers[message.guild.id]) servers[message.guild.id] = {
                    queue: [],
                    videodescription: [],
                    videolengh: [],
                    videotitle: [],
                    videothumbnailUrl: [],
                    videourl: []
                };

     server = servers[message.guild.id]; //method

    //fetchVideoInfo is part of nmp youtube-info@1.1.1
    //npm install youtube-info --save

server.queue.push(id);

     fetchVideoInfo(id, function (err, videoInfo) {
     if (err) throw new Error(err);

    message.reply(' The song: **' + videoInfo.title + "** has been added to the queue list.");

    server.videolengh.push(videoInfo.duration);//integer
    server.videothumbnailUrl.push(videoInfo.thumbnailUrl);
    server.videourl.push(videoInfo.url);
    server.videotitle.push(videoInfo.title);
    server.videodescription.push(videoInfo.description);

    //(videoInfo.description in fetchVideoInfo) returning html

    });

    //                              |
    //later you can call components V like but i will require method

    console.log(server.queue[0] + "\n");
    //or
    console.log(server.videodescription[0]);

    //also don't forget to "skip"
    //example server.queue.shift();

On Tuesday, Nov. 24th, the contractor for the City of Salina will begin paving the center lanes on N. Ohio Street between Elm Street and North Street. A paving machine will be used by the contractor to complete nearly 1,200 feet of 2-lanes of paving.
This work will reduce traffic to one lane only for both northbound and southbound traffic. Trucks unloading concrete from the northbound lane will create temporary delays of up to 10 minutes to the northbound traffic. The contractor will have flagmen in place to direct traffic. Weather permitting, normal construction traffic lanes are expected to resume by late Tuesday afternoon.
Large truck traffic will continue to be detoured by way of York Street.
Traffic delays are expected and motorists should consider alternate routes.

Helichrysum essential oil is derived from the blossoms of the plant through a process of steam distillation. A traditional remedy for swelling, the common cold, burnt or chapped skin, today helichrysum essential oil is used in aromatherapy, as an antiseptic and antibacterial topical ointment.
The oil itself is generally clear and highly aromatic. Its sweet, floral aroma has a distinct summer-time quality which makes it popular for use in aromatherapy.
Helichrysum essential oil is a natural, low impact alternative to pharmaceutical skin care and topical pain relief products. The essential oil is also used in aromatherapy to help treat a variety of ailments.
This essential oil has traditionally been used to soothe a range of skin conditions, from acne treatment to itchy rash relief. For an all-natural skin care routine, apply 1-2 dropslichrysum essential oil to 1 Tbsp. of jojoba oil or grapeseed carrier oil.
For acne-prone skin, add 2-3 drops of helichrysum essential oil to 1 Tsp. of carrier oil. Apply the mixture as a spot treatment to affected areas. The antiseptic properties of the oil will help sooth the skin and possibly speed up the healing process without the harsh dehydrating side effects of alcohol based pharmaceuticals.
Add 2-4 drops of helichrysum essential oil to a diffuser or nebulizer filled with water. Let the aroma fill the room for up to 30 minutes. We strongly recommend to use a nebulizing diffuser in order to vaporize 100% pure essential oil particles.
Traditionally, helichrysum vapor was used to alleviate cold and flu symptoms including headaches, sore throat, coughing, fever and congestion.
For a natural decongestant, boil 2-3 cups of water until steaming. Transfer to a bowl and add 5-10 drops of helichrysum essential oil. To inhale the vapor, lean over the bowl and place a towel over your head to help capture the steam. Inhale for several minutes at a time, taking breaks as necessary. Repeat up to three times. Helichrysum is one of several essential oils used to treat colds, flu's and congestion.
Helichrysum essential oil has a long history as being a therapeutic aid for swollen muscles, inflamed joints, and pain caused by arthritis. For a natural, therapeutic massage add 3-5 drops of helichrysum essential oil to 2 Tbsp. of carrier oil. Rub the solution onto the afflicted muscles for soothing relief.
Known for its sweet, floral scent, helichrysum essential oil can be used to create a natural air freshener. Fill a spray bottle with water and 20-30 drops of helichrysum essential oil. Gently shake to mix together before use. Spray the solution towards the ceiling, avoiding furniture.
For a more complex fragrance, use 10 drops of helichrysum, 10 drops of lavender and 10 drops of rose essential oil.
Helichrysum essential oil has been used on cuts, scrapes, bruises, swelling, infections, and rashes as a way to prevent infections and speed up healing. Modern clinical studies have begun to back up these traditional claims. For a natural wound healer, add 3-4 drops of helichrysum essential oil to 1 Tbsp. of carrier oil, such as coconut, olive or jojoba. Apply the mixture to the affected area.
The aromatherapy benefits of helichrysum essential oil can also be obtained via a therapeutic bath. Add 5-10 drops to a hot bath to help relieve stress, cold and flu symptoms.
Long before we understood the importance of sunscreen, helichrysum essential oil and aloe were used as a soothing, sunburn remedy. To create your own sunburn remedy, mix 1 Tsp. of aloe vera with 3 drops of helichrysum essential oil in a small bowl. Apply to the gel to the sunburnt area and lightly massage into the skin. You can read more about essential oils and sunburns.
In the past decade, helichrysum essential oil has been the focus of a number of scientific studies. Preliminary findings have suggested this essential oil has several notable, therapeutic properties and a range of potential applications.
Note: While helichrysum essential oil shows potential as an complementary method for high blood pressure management, further research is required to determine its effect on humans.6 Never consume helichrysum essential oil, unless under the direct supervision of a health care provider.
Helichrysum essential oil is considered a safe substance for inhalation and diluted, topical use. Do not apply helichrysum essential oil directly to the skin, always dilute before topical application.
Helichrysum is a known allergen, and is not recommended for use on small children. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should also avoid the use of helichrysum essential oil.
Helichrysum essential oil is highly concentrated, and can be harmful is swallowed. Do not ingest helichrysum essential oil unless under the direct supervision of a health care provider. Always be sure to read and follow the label directions.

Most likely, you're being affected by the bug in Firefox and Chrome where they enable secure input but don't disable it. This bug is particularly infuriating because it doesn't seem clear to the end user what causes it. However, it does have a cause, a workaround, and it does seem to be getting some traction from the Mozilla folks. Switching product probably won't help, as the other text expansion applications observe input in the same way as TextExpander and thus are subject to deprivation by secure event input being left enabled. When these browsers display a password field, they turn on secure event input so that no one, including TextExpander, can peek at your passwords. Problem is, if you use the Return key to submit a form from within its secure field, they won't turn secure event input off. This appears to be a bug they've inherited from some Firefox code they use. The workaround is to use the submit button rather than using Return in the password field. 1Password is similarly affected by this bug. The workaround there is to turn off auto-submit and just use auto-fill then press the button to submit.
This is referenced on Mozilla's bug tracker.
Much of present-day software acquisition procedure rests upon the assumption that one can specify a satisfactory system in advance, get bids for its construction, have it built, and install it. I think this assumption is fundamentally wrong, and that many software acquisition problems spring from that fallacy. (Brooks 1987 cited Larman and Basili 2003, p.52).
The central concept of REST is the resource, which is a datastructure representing one or more business objects.
The advantage to using ems for font size, line height, and spacing between elements is that as text size is adjusted, those measurements will adjust proportionately.
Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/lib/libreadline.5.2.dylib already exists and does not belong to a registered port.  Unable to activate port readline. Use 'port -f activate readline' to force the activation.
I downloaded and installed the Java Developer Package.
Excluding "shoulda" from the "development" group (i.e. just in test) resolved the error.
From the example above you can see that calling a stuff with a different parameter would raise a NoMethodError. A bit confusing.
RSpec uses double to create a test double. However, there are two aliases for this method mock and stub. When do we use which alias? It depends on what role the test double is fulfilling.
If the test double is the focus of the test, then you will be setting a message expectation on the double, which takes the "mock" role.
If the test double is not the focus, and you are simply stubbing out methods on an object, then this takes the "stub" role. You can often eliminate the number of method stubs by ignoring method calls using #as_null_object.
At it's core, margin collapsing is very easy to understand. Basically when two vertical margins meet up, instead of adding together, the largest margin takes precedent and the other one "collapses" to nothing.
In all of these examples I the author is protecting themselves from a NoMethodError with a NilClass.
And encapsulate the various scopings within the correct classes.
This last example illustrates well that the careless use of rescue nil is a symptom of other issues such as poor encapsulation.
Jay Fields also has an interesting use for inline rescue. One of the commenters mentions "its important to use them judiciously." I suspect the inline rescue is a victim of cargo culting and 99% of the time there is a better solution.
Interfacing with Web Services? Checkout Tammer Saleh's "Coding for Failure"
Last year when interfacing with several Web services for a project I found Tammer Saleh's "Coding for Failure" indispensable. Although it was presented two years ago, it's far from out of date.
You can check it out on the Confreaks website and download the slides from here (the link on Tammer's website is broken).
See slides for handling in controllers and rake tasks and notification using HopToad.
Rails has the content_for method which allows you to yield content into a layout later in the rendering phase of a view. Often I need the same functionality when using StaticMatic. Since I'm using Haml this is easier to do.
One of the frustrating aspects of coding CSS is the ad-hoc approach in crafting styles. It felt all my software development practices went out the window. Compass, a stylesheet authoring framework, along with Sass, a stylesheet language, has alleviated most of my pain. However, implementation still varies from developer to developer.
Practices 7 and 8 need more explanation. Below are comments from Nicole's blog post announcing the framework hosted on Github.
Abstract the structure of the block from the skin which is being applied.
Separate structure from skin isn't about HTML and CSS. Within the CSS, have one class that takes care of all of the little presentational elements, browser differences, basically all the complicated bits. Then build on that class with multiple skin classes, which then only need to contain simple things like border colors, background images, etc. The skins become super predictable.
Break the dependency between the container module and the content objects it contains.
A glance at the CSS of most sites will tell you no one is doing this properly. At best we manage to separate by module, or sandbox individual components. Unfortunately, each of the modules has container and content completely tied together. This makes the CSS grow over time and the site not scale or perform well.

Opening up the Red Tent
by V. Radhika
It is uncommon for baby products to share store space with adult sex toys. But at Red Tent Sisters, baby-birthing tubs, slings and baby carriers overlook books on sexuality, contraceptives, menstrual products and adult sex toys. Storeowners Amy and Kimberley Sedgwick, 23 see no contradiction in this juxtaposition. After all, their store caters to women's reproductive, fertility and sexual health needs.
"It is a natural progression of things. We start to menstruate, become reproductive beings and that is tied to our sexuality. We have reproductive organs to have sex and have children," says Amy Sedgwick, 29. The baby products in their store, she emphasizes, "Are those that facilitate the mother-infant bond. They are as much about the women as they are about the babies. We don't carry babies' toys. That is not what we are about. We are about women. Our hope is to reach women across the menstrual cycle and beyond."
The store's name is inspired by Anita Diamant's hugely popular eponymous book. Giving a twist to a Biblical tale, the book, through its protagonist, weaves in what the Bible does not mention - the lives of women. The title refers to the tent in which women of Jacob's tribe, according to the ancient law, were sequestered while menstruating or giving birth, and in which they find mutual support and encouragement from their mothers, sisters and aunts.
Similarly, the sisters hope that this Red Tent will create a safe space for women that would support them during times of menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth and menopause - basically their whole life cycle.
The store formally opened at Danforth, Toronto, in August this year, but its genesis dates back to last December. Kimberley, who had just finished her B.A. in English and gender studies "always wanted to open a book store", while her sister Amy, on a break after her daughter's birth, "was looking for a meaningful way to get back to the workforce" but in something of her interest and also with more flexibility in terms of family life.
Venus Envy, a feminist bookstore that stocked adult toys and menstrual products, and was often frequented by Kimberley as a student in Halifax, provided the spark for Red Tent. In addition to books and products, the sisters also wanted to offer services and organize workshops on issues such as fertility management, an area particularly close to Amy's heart. She is a trained occupational therapist.
By the end of last year, these fragments of ideas - Kimberley's retail store promoting sexual and reproductive health; and Amy's service centre providing education and counseling for women's sexual and reproductive health - crystallized and, a few months later, Red Tent Sisters came into being.
The workshops and services offered at Red Tent range from fertility, sexuality, contraception, pre/post-natal and menopause-related issues to child rearing and baby sign language. As for products, the inventory includes books on a wide array of women's topics, contraceptives, alternative menstrual products, adult toys, personal lubricants, menstrual charts, stickers, diaries and basal body temperature thermometers, gender-neutral baby clothing, music CDs, baby sign language DVDs, the La Bassine birthing tub and accessories as well as slings and baby carriers. The toys range between $15.95 for a Berman Massaging Bullet to $135 for The Cone, a uniquely shaped vibrator with 16 different settings. The most popular toys are the G-Twist and the G-Swirl, priced at $79. Another hot seller is the Rabbit, priced at $78.95, which was popularized by the TV comedy 'Sex and the City'.
To promote their venture, Red Tent offers a free introductory session to some workshops. Asked whether there is a need for discussions on sexuality in this part of the world, Amy says, "Although sexuality is very open in terms of advertising and discussions, and sex stores and public displays of affection are not illegal as it is in some parts of the world, I don't think women have very good self-esteem and I don't think they have a good connection with their bodies. Even though many things are discussed openly, there are much deeper issues that are not talked about at all. We have supposedly an open society, but the basic idea of equality between men and women as far as pleasure is concerned does not exist."
Adds Kimberley, "I was shocked to find out when I was looking for books on teen sexuality that many of the books I chose have been banned because they talk about masturbation. So, on the one hand, we are letting girls wear very little, but the idea of women actually pleasuring themselves is still unacceptable."
Though it is too early to predict the store's success, the response so far has been very encouraging, the sisters say. Though Anushree Agrahari, a customer, says, "Coming from India, we never discussed these things openly. But this place gives the confidence to sit, examine and discuss female sexuality. Red Tent Sisters has crossed cultural boundaries. Their various products sourced from different parts of the world, say it all." Some parents, though, are a bit thrown by the adult toys. Amy says, "There is no way to prepare people that we have adult toys as we were asked by our landlord not to display sexual products at the window. So, we have a sign on the door that warns parents to be mindful of their comfort level because there are products of a mature nature."
The sisters did consider placing the vibrators and adult sex toys in a separate, private area but, says Kimberley, "We didn't want it to be shameful. This is about embracing sexuality in a positive way and knowing that you can satisfy yourself, and we didn't want to stigmatize that."
As far as workshops go, it is those relating to children that have been lapped up. The workshop on baby sign language, Wee Hands, is fully booked, though many have also shown an interest in one-on-one Fertility Awareness Methods counseling.
Amy hopes that "by bringing in people for slightly more mainstream things, eventually women will start looking around and understand other aspects of store and slowly would be drawn to other deeper things that we promote". The skeins of wool and knitting needles for "stitch and bitch" sessions - to be held, like all the workshops, in a private room at the back of the shop - is also with the same hope.
Though driven by passion, the duo is very clear that they want this venture to be commercially viable. So, a very detailed business plan was drawn up and so far they have kept up with it. "There is always a potential risk that we won't meet goals in terms of our financial expectations, but we try to set realistic goals and feel it will be successful business venture," says Amy.
It is not often that one is able to translate one's passion and beliefs into a business venture. But the Sedgwick sisters have managed to do just that. As Amy remarks, "We had to decide whether it is a lofty dream or whether we could make it a reality and we decided we wanted to make it a reality."
