You are what you eat: Pump up the nutritional volume on the food you eat. You'll get more out of your food and more out of your life.
You work hard, are fitness-minded and are extremely careful about eating low-calorie nutritionally balanced meals. You replace two meals a day with High-Protein Low-Carb Shake Mix and take fat burning herbs to increase your metabolism and lose weight. In short, good health and fit body is your passion. Of course that means all your daily nutritional requirements are being met, right?
Just because you're meticulous about the food you eat doesn't mean you're absorbing all the nutrients they have to offer. For a variety of reasons - stress, illness, dieting, cellular damage - we don't always effectively absorb all the goodness of nutritionally balanced food.
That's why Herbalife created a product that will help your body do just that. It's called Cell Activator™, and it's a key ingredient for long-term good health. We also call it "THERMO BOOSTER" 'cause it helps get the most of Shapeworks™ weight-loss programs.

A: Pycnogenol®, also known as French maritime pine bark, is one of the most powerful natural botanical antioxidants available today. Pycnogenol® assists your body to function optimally at a cellular level. It helps assure that your body's cells are prepared to utilize the essential nutrients delivered to them, including proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and herbs, for improved nutrition and energy so that you and your customers can obtain the best results from the ShapeWorks™ Program.

Nancy Pelosi Loses It When Asked About the Joe and Hunter Biden Scandal
@KatiePavlich

During her weekly press briefing on Capitol Hill Thursday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was asked about the ongoing scandal surrounding Joe and Hunter Biden's foreign dealings. She was not pleased.
"Madam Speaker there are serious allegations of corruption involving Joe Biden...are you going to respond to this in any way?" Washington Examiner reporter Kerry Picket asked.
"I'm not going to answering your question, okay? We're talking about the coronavirus. I don't have all day for questions," Pelosi answered.

— Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) October 22, 2020
The question comes as most media outlets, including taxpayer funded National Public Radio, continue to cover for Joe Biden by refusing to acknowledge or dig into evidence about his family's alleged corruption.
This is an incredible statement.
"That are not really stories."
The Joe and Hunter Biden stories are legit, with hard evidence and on the record sourcing, unlike many anonymously sourced stories we've seen for years NPR jumped to cover. How pathetic for so-called "journalism" https://t.co/EetDljsFhn
— Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) October 22, 2020
The New York Post reported today that Hunter Biden routinely involved Joe Biden in his foreign deals. He referred to him as "the chairman" and "the big guy." Text messages show Hunter Biden asking for a portion of foreign payments to be allocated to "the big guy." Joe Biden has denied knowing anything about these deals.
Bobulinski writes that Hunter Biden also referred to his father as "my chairman and frequently referenced asking him for his sign-off or advice on various potential deals that we were discussing."
"I've seen Vice President Biden saying he never talked to Hunter about his business," says Bobulinski, who was the CEO of the company being formed. "I've seen firsthand that that's not true, because it wasn't just Hunter's business, they said they were putting the Biden family name and its legacy on the line."

Here's to Yorkshire Bitter
Alongside Mild, Bitter is the beer style that probably troubles people the most; the definition is broad, somewhat cumbersome and with no 'sexy' aspects to it. Yet Bitter defines a UK region like no other, such is the proliferation of other styles today. No-one calls Joker IPA an 'Alloan IPA', nor is Marble's Lagonda a 'Manchester IPA.' But Marble do (proudly, I might add) brew a Manchester Bitter, and you can't deny you'd call Harvey's Sussex Best the epitome of, well, Sussex. But as the question was posed to me a while ago, I've been asking myself: what is Yorkshire Bitter? Is is still around anymore? And what does it mean to me?
Well, It's a beer of the pub. There's something about a pint of Bitter that speaks of draught beer; a dimpled mug on a stained beer mat in a library-quiet inn, contented in etched glass and dark wood in those times inbetween dinner and post-work rushes. A cliche – and one that could exist in any county in the country – I know, but one worth trotting out when thinking about what the beer means to me. Bitter is unfussy, strong of heart and backbone, and the best – when fresh – are defiantly bold, and as forthright in flavour as a Yorkshireman's political views.
I'd perhaps cite the Yorkshire Square as a key element to what makes our Bitter ours. But the fact is, there's Yorkshire Bitter out there being produced by our enterprising brewers without the aid of those slate (or, mostly these days – steel) squares. Still, we have our own regional fermenting method – and that's always worth giving a nod of the flat cap to. In fact, only Black Sheep and Sam Smith's use Squares these days; one wonders in this age of interest in all things fermentation, whether the square could be seen as a niche instrument for fledgling brewers looking to find a little space in the current booming market. It is, after all, a type of open fermentation.
So, let's consider those knee-jerk emotional responses, shall we? When I think of Manchester Bitter, I think of a beer lighter in colour than its counterpart from the White Rose county, and perhaps with a clean, smooth body and a sharp, bitter finish. Yorkshire's Bitter, on the other hand, makes me think of brown; autumnal amber, always served with a tight collar of foam and a nutty, sweeter body underpinning a slightly bready, subtly floral aroma.
I think of slabs of my uncles' Stones Bitter, unfashionably orange, piling up in the kitchen at Christmas, or that smiling Huntsman glaring at me through his monacle on bartops across smoky pub rooms visited with my parents. The way that, travelling from Leeds to Haworth to see my mum, the pub signs change from red-brick Tetley's to the green and gold sandstone of Timothy Taylor's once you hit Shipley. The intimidating red neon of the Tetley's sign drawing our gaze as we walk to The Adelphi. It's powerful stuff, for sure.
Problem is, once I start codifying it like that, I'm struck by the Landlord conundrum.
Fellow Yorkshireman Michael Jackson described Landlord (in his usual, wonderfully florid terms) in 1992 by remarking '…that barley-sugar maltiness is never cloying; that resiny hop character offers the perfect edge. They are deftly balanced without cancelling each other out. This is more the balance of the fighter versus the boxer. Or the Featherstone Rovers' loose-forward versus the Keighley scrum-half.' Landlord is one of (alongside Black Sheep's Best,Theakston's Best & XB and Sam Smith's Old Brewery Bitter – which is perhaps hamstrung by generally only being available in Smith's pubs on draught) the major Yorkshire Bitter on our bars now, and enjoys perhaps a more artisanal feel than Tetley's did post-Carslberg. As you know, Landlord is anything but 'fudgy' – pale, loaded with sweetness, and a soft, rolling bitterness.
It's brewed with 100% Pale malt, but it's a Yorkshire Bitter. More quenching that Tetley's, I feel Landlord is the beer that illustrates the region's diversity in bitter. The fact that I think of it Pale Ale doesn't really matter; it's semantics. It's all Bitter. It just so happens that one of the most popular in Yorkshire is one of the most different.
Can a bitter still define a brewery in Leeds, Huddersfield, Hull, Wakefield or Sheffield in 2013? Has it really been usurped by paler, hoppier cousins? Is it still the sole interest of the older generation? Is it difficult to market? I once had a pint of Tetley's that, simply, was trancendent. It was in the Victoria pub, and remains not too dissimilar to this in terms of being knocked off your feet by simple, plain beer. I've not drunk it since it left Leeds, and although I don't want to concentrate too much on Tetley's here (what's done is done) – it defined Leeds for a long, long time. As we all know, however, there are some promising heirs to the throne, if you will.
Leeds Brewery's Sam Moss still thinks there's something to the term – hopefully the pavlovian equivalent of a hug; a tug of a string that's tied to many a Yorkshireman's past. 'I think that for many drinkers in Yorkshire – and perhaps this is becoming an increasingly older demographic – a 'pint of best' is still the 'go to' choice as they walk into a pub. Maybe this is something which is a peculiarly Yorkshire phenomenon, but I think that there is something endearingly reassuring and comforting about settling down over a great pint of Yorkshire Best Bitter.' he says.
Yorkshire Bitter is the bedrock on which our region's fantastic beer culture sits; a style we once held proud but perhaps don't shout about as much any more. Richard Boston said of us in Beer & Skittles (1977) 'Yorkshire people, chauvinists about beer as about everything believe they have the best beer in the country.' It was probably our Bitter that we were espousing. He also said of Theakston's Bitter '…Is a pale yellow, and its taste arouses controversy between its admirers and detractors.' What Boston meant by that, I'm not sure; there's a suggestion that the beer wasn't quite playing ball – perhaps too light, too strong, too mild or too bitter. A controversial bitter? There's a thought.
Bitter is worth fighting over, too. Roger Protz has done a great job of telling the battle of Barnsley here.
I'm going to pin my colours to the mast here: i'm incredibly fond of Acorn's Barnsley Bitter. A simple, tawny pint with a hearty, rousing profile, it's a modern classic as far as I'm concerned and, in that frame of mind, I contacted Dave Hughes (Acorn's head honcho) and asked him how he felt about such an unassuming pint; how it was born and whether it was important to Acorn these days. The answer was fairly emphatic.
'Barnsley Bitter is the reason Acorn Brewery was born.' Dave states, matter-of-factly. 'Back in 2003 I was working for Elsecar Brewery, but the business closed and production of their Barnsley Bitter was moved to Blackpool. I was made redundant along with everybody else. The thought of Barnsley Bitter being made in Blackpool and also the thought of returning to my former profession as a chef drove myself and my wife, Jude to open Acorn Brewery. '
'We brew our interpretation of Barnsley Bitter using the original Barnsley Bitter twin yeast strains.' he continues. '…We also use the finest Maris Otter malt, crystal and pale chocolate roasted malts and have used English Challenger hops – purchased directly from the same hop farm – for the last 10 years.The consistency of the raw materials have helped us to create a Yorkshire bitter that we are very proud of. It accounts for 30-40% of our trade and highlights to us that there is a great market still out there for a classic Yorkshire bitter amidst the ever growing popularity of golden ales and IPA's.'
Bu it's not just Imperial Stout, Saison and barrel-aged oddities nipping at the heels of Barnsley Bitter. There's…well, other bitters, actually. It's like stepping through the looking glass; the term might be getting dropped in favour of 'Amber' and 'Classic'-type terms, but it's still there. Take Ilkley's Joshua Jane (a nod, of course, to the Hunstman and Ilkley's moor-wandering heroine), which began life as a trial brew of a Leeds Homebrew competition winners (by Matt Lovatt and Dave Broadford, who have gone on to brew for Kirkstall Brewery and Northern Monk respectively) and has recently made it into the permanent bottled range.
Slightly dryer than you'd expect , loaded with biscuit and bread and a zippy finish of grassy hop. It's a great example of a Bitter brewed in 2013, and I asked Chris Ives how it sells. 'Joshua is a permanent beer and volumes brewed have been steadily climbing all year. We brewed it because (we felt) there were too few good examples of a contemporary Yorkshire Bitter.' I would place emphasis on the contemporary. JJ does boast a sprinkling of New World hops, and as a result takes a more modern twist in the finish. One wonders how many of Ilkley's more image-conscious drinkers realise they are enjoying a bitter? Semantics, again…
…And of course it sells. Good beer always will, Bitter or not. When interviewing Lee Pullen, landlord or the excellent Old Cock Pub in Otley a little while ago, he confessed that '…I love chestnut-coloured beers, but they can be hard to find. We love 'em here.' , in response my remark about how his bar was well-represented in the color range. Wharfebank's Martin Kellaway said something similar in my interviews for Great Yorkshire Beer – how Slinger's Gold would cater for those customers who absolutely want a bitter – not pale, not dark. Brown. Fruity. Softly tangy. It was in demand, and lo, it was brewed.
Leeds Best is one of the few that's not been renamed. Sam Moss elaborated: 'Although Leeds Best doesn't sell anywhere near as well as Leeds Pale, it has a really loyal following of drinkers across Yorkshire and always sells well in our pubs so we have no plans to delist it anytime soon. I think it's an important part of our range and a brilliant beer – in fact I have had many conversations with people who think that it is our best product. Interestingly, Leeds Best in bottles absolutely flies off the shelves.' Last Christmas Leeds Best was Sainsbury's best selling small brewery bottled beer in their Yorkshire stores; it's has just won a listing in Tesco. Saltaire Pride – Saltaire Brewery's Bitter – also won a listing in Tesco in the summer.
If you were to line up (for example) Leeds Best, Black Sheep Best , Acorn Barnsley Bitter, Sam Smith's OBB, Theakston's Best and Timothy Taylor's Landlord, the wealth of flavour and variety that you would find in those beers would be as remarkable as any that you would be likely to find in a line up of the any other style. All in my very humble opinion of course – although Martyn Cornell puts it much better in Amber, Gold & Black : 'The best Bitter beers leave the drinker satisfied and yet still happy to have more. The harmony of complex flavours that the finest examples contain, even at comparatively low alcohol strengths, is one of Britain's greatest contributions to bibulous pleasure.'
I will say this much, however; perhaps the days where a brewery would see a Bitter as a flagship beer are gone. Those seeds were sown before the 'craft ' boom – I can certainly recall a time where 'Pale n' Hoppy' was the default style for flagship beer for a nascent Micro before the "Craft Beer Revolution". The difference was, they'd eventually pop a brown beer into the range. These days, a whole generation of brewers are probably thinking that brown does equal boring if you're not talking about a hybrid style – and a true Bitter or Best – as completely superfluous to their needs.
I, for one, wouldn't want to see Bitter as a style being taken for granted – but in Yorkshire at least, it isn't. Bitter is alive and well up North; so here's to Frothingham Best, Saltaire Pride, Copper Dragon's Best, Kelham Island Pride of Sheffield, Kirkstall BYB, Mallinson's Stadium Bitter, Rudgate's Battle Axe, Theakston XB, Hop Studio XS, Revolution's Reward, Bradfield's Brown Cow, Great Heck Navigator…. and all the others knocking around.
Here's to Yorkshire Bitter.
Ironically, this weekend has seen the soft opening of The Tetley, the new 'art space' that's now housed in the shell of the brewery. This post was part of Boak & Bailey's Longreads weekend – I'm sure there will be a round-up of the other posts on their blog in due course.

Seventy-five Years: 1944 - 2019
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." – Margaret Mead
The Witch House under restoration in 1945.
Happy New Year everyone! We're very excited to celebrate Historic Salem, Inc.'s 75th Anniversary in 2019.
The founding of Historic Salem, Inc. in 1944 was bound up in the fortunes of two of Salem's most historically significant homes. The Witch House, home of Salem Witch Trials Judge Jonathan Corwin, and the Cook House, the last Salem Home of renowned navigator Nathaniel Bowditch (now known as the Bowditch House), were both at risk of being demolished to accommodate the widening of North & Essex Streets. Recognizing the gravity of the potential loss of these buildings, a group of concerned citizens gathered in Salem's City Council Chamber on April 28, 1944 to find a solution.
At the meeting, Warren Butler, Chair of the Salem Planning Board, and Boston Architect Gordon Robb proposed moving the historic houses away from the street in order to preserve them and still allow for the planned widening of the roads. Mayor Edward Coffey assembled an Executive Committee tasked with raising the money to put this preservation plan into action.
The Executive Committee was incorporated as Historic Salem, Inc. in June of 1944, with a purpose and mission "to preserve historic sites, buildings and objects and to work for the education of the community in the true value of the same." George Benson was elected HSI's first president, Warren Butler its first vice president, and Salem City Treasurer Arthur Brennan its first treasurer and secretary. In the following years, the Witch House and the Bowditch House were both successfully relocated and restored.
The Witch House relocated and restored, 1948.
Today, the Witch House is a historic house museum owned and operated by the City of Salem. The house interprets the Salem Witch Trials and the early modern cosmology of Salem's seventeenth-century inhabitants. It is a major contributor to the city's local tourism economy, seeing about 50,000 visitors a year, most in October. The Bowditch House serves as the headquarters of Historic Salem, Inc. Nathaniel Bowditch artifacts and informational museum panels are on view for the benefit of Salem residents and visitors alike.
Update: Municipal and Religious Properties Reuse
In December we reported on a draft zoning overlay that would be discussed at a Public Hearing. At that meeting, December 13, the public was clear on two issues:
1 – We want to see historic schools, churches and other large civic buildings reused.
2 – We want any new construction on these neighborhood sites to suit the surrounding neighborhood.
To ensure this we agree with the draft ordinance when it allows for liberal zoning for the existing buildings. We disagreed with the generous allowances for new construction on the sites and asked that they be constrained to meet the same requirements as the surrounding neighborhood. When the ordinance was publicized in December it allowed very tall (50 feet or higher), very dense new construction to be placed very close to property lines (within 5 feet).
In response to public comments from dozens of community members the city's planning department made appreciated changes that limited new construction to the dimensions that matched the surrounding neighborhoods. This was just what we had hoped for. We supported the changes (with some concern about allowed density) at the January 9 public hearing and looked forward to an overlay district that would have broad community support.
This week, we were unpleasantly surprised to hear that the Planning Board, in their recommendations to the City Council, will suggest that 55 feet be the allowable height in all areas of the city. This is 20 feet taller than the allowed height in our historic one and two-family neighborhoods. That means that a neighborhood where the school or church is already the largest building on the block (built to have a grand civic presence) can now have equally large additions or new buildings constructed that tower over their neighbors. This height, together with the allowed density, could allow well over a hundred units to be built at sites such as the St. James and Immaculate Conception churches with their associated school buildings.
The ordinance states that its intention is "to allow for reuse..but minimize impacts to surrounding neighborhoods". We believe that following national best practices (see the National Trust ordinance below) that encourage building reuse but restrict new construction meets this intent. We believe that allowing significant new construction that is much larger than surrounding historic neighborhoods does not meet this stated intention.
We will be asking the City Council not to pass the ordinance until adequate protections are put in place for our historic neighborhoods.
We ask you to let your city councilors know how you feel (contact information on city website). Review the list of potential properties to see what sits in your neighborhood. Please note – the city is not required to notify abutters of a zoning change. If you know people who live very close to these properties, please forward this and make sure they are aware of this proposed change.

Q: Running SAS EG project with Python I've searched a bit for a way to execute a SAS Enterprise Guide project and its programs via Python but I could not find anything. I only find SAS examples like  the question: How do I invoke a sas script in python?
I can call the enterprise guide project as my sysin like the answer in that link suggested, but when the project opens it tries to import all the other parameters I passed. I also can't find the path for each individual SAS program as it is inside the project.
Does anyone knows a way to simply run the SAS programs within a project via python?
Thanks

A: I have the same complaint as you, so I created a tool to execute egp file from python or command line.
https://github.com/kjnh10/saseg_runner
I hope this would help.

A: You'll have to save your SAS Enterprise Guide program simply as a SAS program and run it as a SAS script using SAS in batch mode.
SAS Enterprise Guide is a visual editor, but behind the scenes it's still creating SAS code.

A: EG has a COM interface that can be automated with python, as is in user3394926's git repo below.
Chris Hemedinger from SAS wrote a great article on the SAS communities website, he's cjdinger on github and has a few vb scripts that show how to access the various COM interfaces. The current link to the SAS Article written in 2017 is here: https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Communities-Library/Doing-More-with-SAS-Enterprise-Guide-Automation/ta-p/417832?title=Not_Just_for_Scheduling:_Doing_More_with_SAS_Enterprise_Guide_Automation
Note that there is a link to the documentation reference guide available as a CHM that lists each object and its methods and properties in that article.
You can also export an EG script as a VB script to be scheduled using Windows Scheduler, you'll see some of the various COM interfaces and functions there.
A basic execution is:
import win32com.client as win32

eg = win32.Dispatch('SASEGObjectModel.Application.7.1')

example_file = r'./my_eg_file.egp'

project = eg.Open(example_file, "")
project.Run()
project.SaveAs(example_file) # Note that this will overwrite, comment out or rename if you don't want that.
project.Close()

Take a look at the examples cjdinger has. Some important details:

*

*Most of the interfaces have the Name property

*A standard EG project has "Flows" which contain "Items" which are of different types

*There are 26 different types of items in a given project, each with its own interface (not well documented...)

*The Types that cjdinger handled in his "ExtractCodeAndLog.vbs" example are 0: egFile, 1: egCode, 2: egData, 3: egTask, and 4: egQuery

*project.ContainerCollection - is a collection of the "Process Flows" that can be iterated over, I'm not an EG power user, but most of my projects have 2, one with all my steps and an empty one

*<flow>.Items - is another collection but of the items in a specific flow, these are the main steps, however egData can have child Tasks which are also shown as steps in the EG GUI
eg:
flows = project.ContainerCollection
for flow in flows:
    print(f'FLOW: {flow.Name}')
    for item in flow.Items:
        print(f'ITEM: {item.Name} is type ID {item.Type}')
        if item.Type in (2,):   # egData type
            for task in item.Tasks:
                print(f'TASK: {task.Name} is a task of {item.Name} is type {task.Type}')

*

*Text needs to be accessed from the Text property of the various object

*Most items have a Log property you can access the text of using item.Log.Text, except egData which have Tasks that have the log, you may need to run the project before you get a log, if there is no Log it throws an error.

*if there is Code, you can access it through the item.TaskCode object and item.TaskCode.Text is the string property for printing/writing
Good luck, I can try to help with any other questions. I like the runner.py script that user3394926 has written to detect errors using an re search for ERROR in the logs. I've implemented a similar feature in mine.

BOUNTIFUL — Students at a Bountiful elementary school took to drums Monday morning in an effort to combat bullying in schools.
In the gym at Tolman Elementary, dozens of children pounded away on drums in a circle led by an instructor in the middle.
Special education teacher Emily Wischerath said it was great to see her kindergarten through second-grade students smiling and getting into the drumming from the "No Bully Drum Bus Tour" put on by Rhythms of Life.
Wischerath said she thinks the chant — Be brave, be bold, somebody must be told! — will likely stick with them. After chanting, the students discussed safe, trusted people they could talk to about bullies. The students then put those names into the chant, replacing the word "somebody" for a teacher's name.
It's kinesthetic, it's auditory, it's physical, it speaks to all the intelligences.
"It's kinesthetic, it's auditory, it's physical, it speaks to all the intelligences," he said.
Drumming lets the children pound out their emotions: happiness, sadness and anger all have rhythms. The drumming also teaches the students to work within a group setting.
Liston said the drumming helps gets the message through to the children better than a lecture. The "No Bully Drum Bus Tour" travels to schools, drug treatment centers and business around Utah to help individuals recognize emotions and to talk about bullying.

CHELSEA (CBS) – Residents in a Chelsea apartment building on Broadway say it was about 3 a.m. on Saturday when all of a sudden they heard the sound of rushing water coming into their homes.
"The water was flowing from the top all the way down to bottom," resident Robyn Yianacopolus said.
When fire fighters first arrived, they thought there was a fire on the sixth floor, but they soon realized someone released the valve on a standpipe and water came gushing out for about 10 minutes.
"When we arrived, we had water pouring through both elevator shafts into the lobby. It was a lot of water," Deputy Fire Chief John Quatieri said.
Investigators believe someone intentionally turned the water on in the building.
"It was definitely done maliciously. Someone opened it up," the deputy chief said.
The building has surveillance cameras, and investigators believe they may have captured images of those involved.
A total of six floors were damaged by the water, and more than 150 residents had to evacuate in the middle of the night. Two people were taken to hospital.
Work crews were busy cleaning up the mess, and residents were allowed back into the building.
Fire investigators say they plan to take look at that surveillance video to see who is responsible for releasing all that water and ultimately causing $400,000 worth of damage.

Antidepressants in pregnancy tied to health risks for kids
Andrew M. Seaman
(Reuters Health) - Children exposed to a common type of antidepressant in the womb may be at an increased risk of complications soon after birth and years later, according to two new studies.
One study suggests newborns are more likely to need intensive care after birth if their mothers take selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) during pregnancy. A second study finds those same children may be at an increased risk for speech and language disorders years later.
Links between SSRIs and these types of birth outcomes have been seen before in previous studies that weren't as reliable, said Dr. Eva Pressman, chair of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York.
Even with these associations, she said, women should make decisions about their SSRI use only after talking with their healthcare providers about their specific circumstances.
"If you don't apply the specifics of the situation, you can do more harm than good by avoiding medication," Pressman, who wasn't involved with the new studies, told Reuters Health. "Individualized care becomes exceedingly important."
Ulrika Norby of Lund University in Sweden and colleagues analyzed data on nearly 750,000 births in that country from 2006 through 2012. About 2 percent of the children had been exposed to SSRIs while in the womb.
About 14 percent of newborns exposed to SSRIs were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) after birth, compared to about 8 percent of those not exposed to the drug, according to the results online October 25th in the journal Pediatrics. The increased risk was more pronounced when mothers took SSRIs late in pregnancy.
"The vast majority of infants exposed to SSRIs during pregnancy did not have problems requiring neonatal care," Norby told Reuters Health in an email. "The risk increase for severe disease is small in the individual case."
In the second study, researchers analyzed data on more than 56,000 children, most under the age of 9, to see if those who'd been exposed to SSRIs in the womb were more likely to have cognitive problems.
The children were born between 1996 and 2010 in Finland. About 28 percent had been exposed to SSRIs during pregnancy. Another 17 percent were born to mothers who had depression but did not purchase SSRIs during pregnancy. The remaining 55 percent were born to mothers who didn't take SSRIs and did not have depression.
There were no links between SSRI exposure in the womb and scholastic or motor disorders in the children, according to Dr. Alan Brown at Columbia University in New York City and his colleagues, who included researchers from the University of Turku in Finland.
But as reported in JAMA Psychiatry October 12th, for children whose mothers purchased at least two SSRI prescriptions during pregnancy, the risk of speech and language disorders was 37 percent higher than it was for children whose mothers had depression but didn't take the drugs and 63 percent higher than for children whose mothers didn't have depression.
"There is a possible association between SSRIs during pregnancy and speech and language delays," Brown told Reuters Health.
In a 2009 joint report, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American Psychiatric Association said depression and antidepressant medications during pregnancy are tied to negative consequences for newborns (bit.ly/2eKrZ6H).
The organizations say some women with mild-to-moderate depression can be treated with psychotherapy alone or with medication. Also, they say, there is a need for ongoing discussions during pregnancy between a woman's psychiatrist and her obstetrician.
"Every situation is unique and must be discussed with the physician responsible for the treatment," Norby said. "It is important not to discontinue treatment without consulting a health care professional. Untreated psychiatric conditions can have profound negative consequences for both the woman and her child."

Women I Have Dressed (and Undressed!)
By Arnold Scaasi
A fascinating read of personal experiences from the famed fashion designer that showcases the lives and contributions of iconic women -- from Jackie Kennedy to Elizabeth Taylor to Laura Bush to Princess Diana
Arnold Scaasi has been dressing legends for almost five decades. His enduring tenure as one of the world's premier fashion designers and tastemakers has afforded him vast stores of insider knowledge and firsthand perspectives on an array of illustrious personalities who -- in their disparate arenas of high-wattage celebrity and influence -- have defined our contemporary notions of female power and glamour. Here, for the first time, Scaasi invites readers into his glittering A-list realm as he recounts his intimate experiences and interactions with larger-than-life female icons who made their mark in spheres as varied as politics, Hollywood, the music industry, and high society.
Scaasi devotes each chapter to a specific woman or to a group of women, including "Broadway Girls," "New York Girls," and "Hollywood Girls." He shares dozens of behind-closed-doors anecdotes exploring what makes these women tick. In candid prose, he recalls what they said and how they acted, and most important, offers keen observations of who they really are underneath his creations. Using a privileged entrée into their private and public lives, Scaasi takes the measure of their impact on the world at large.
Here, readers will discover: Joan Crawford's fetish for cleanliness; the dazzling Barbra Streisand's famous Oscar night outfit and her obsession with perfection; Mamie Eisenhower's staunch refusal to wear a bra; the bountiful charms of Joan Sutherland, the opera legend; Mary Tyler Moore's and Sophia Loren's unique glamour; Rose Kennedy's prediction of a future woman president; Aretha Franklin's fear of flying; Scaasi's visits to the White House to his good friend and client Barbara Bush; his confrontations with Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Monroe; and much more!
Scaasi dresses only women he genuinely likes, so his tales are never mean-spirited. Instead they spotlight the designer's surprising interactions and often poignant perceptions of Eleanor Roosevelt, Joan Rivers, Louise Nevelson, Natalie Wood, Hillary Clinton, and many others. The book is filled with photographs from the author's personal scrapbooks and fond recollections of some of the world's most beautiful, accomplished, and powerful women.
Women I Have Dressed (and Undressed!) is a trove of irresistible insider dish and a tender, humorous memoir of the most influential women of our time.

Patriots Win 6th Super Bowl Title In Low-Scoring Game Against Rams 13-3
Filed Under:Atlanta, Football, Los Angeles Rams, New England Patriots, NFL, Super Bowl, Super Bowl LIII
ATLANTA (CBSDFW.COM/AP) – It wasn't the prettiest of games, but the New England Patriots came out of Atlanta with their sixth Super Bowl victory. They defeated the Los Angeles Rams in a low-scoring, defensive matchup 13-3.
Patriots quarterback Tom Brady threw two perfect passes to Rob Gronkowski to set up rookie Sony Michel's 2-yard score — the only touchdown in the lowest-scoring Super Bowl ever. That put New England up 10-3. A late field goal clinched the win over the Rams.
In a season in which all sorts of offensive records were set, this Super Bowl rewrote the defensive record book.
"Finally got a touchdown and the defense played the best game of the year," Brady said
No Super Bowl had gone into the fourth quarter without a touchdown. This one did, tied 3-3 — even though these teams combined to average over 60 points a game.
When the Patriots needed a score, Brady, the oldest winning quarterback in a Super Bowl at 41, completed four straight passes, including a pair covering 47 yards to Gronkowski. The second , on which the star tight end beat two defenders, ended at the Los Angeles 2, the only time either team was inside the 20-yard line. Michel ran off left tackle for his sixth postseason touchdown.
"He knows to trust in me and throw that ball," Gronkowski said, "and I'm going to grab it."
Julian Edelman, the outstanding receiver who missed the 2017 season with a knee injury, was the game's MVP with 10 receptions for 141 yards.
With 4:17 left, All-Pro Stephon Gilmore picked off an ill-advised pass by Rams quarterback Jared Goff, who seemed overwhelmed by the big stage all night, at the New England 2.
Stephen Gostkowski made a 41-yard field goal with 1:12 remaining, completing a 72-yard march that took more than three minutes off the clock and included 26-yard runs by Michel and Rex Burkhead.
It was a workmanlike conclusion for the Patriots (14-5), whose losses all came away from New England. They beat the top two offenses in the Chiefs and Rams (15-4) in the postseason, and tied Pittsburgh for most Super Bowl titles.
The Patriots were terrific all game on defense, allowing the fewest points in a Super Bowl (tied with Dallas in 1972 against Miami).
"We're a relentless team," linebacker Dont'a Hightower said. "We didn't give up. A lot was thrown at us. When we play like we did tonight, we can't be beat."
The Rams, who reached the NFL championship game with the aid of a major officiating error in the conference title victory at New Orleans, never really threatened to reach the end zone.
"Last time I checked, defense wins championships," Rams running back C.J. Anderson said.
At 66, Bill Belichick became the oldest winning Super Bowl coach. The Patriots beat the Rams, then representing St. Louis, to begin their dynastic run in the 2002 game. They also have beaten Carolina and Philadelphia (2004 and '05, the last repeater); the Seahawks in 2015; and the Falcons in 2017 in the only overtime in Super Bowl history.
They have lost three times, including to Philadelphia a year ago. New England is the first team since the 1972 Dolphins to win a Super Bowl the year after losing one.
How the Patriots accomplished it was atypical. The 10-point margin was their biggest in winning a championship.
Brady, who has won four Super Bowl MVP trophies, wasn't particularly sharp — except when throwing to Edelman. He was the steadiest offensive player on the field, finishing with 10 catches for 141 yards.
"It just matters that we won," Edelman said. "It was a crazy year. We had a resilient bunch of guys."
Brady passed Charles Haley to become the only player with six Super Bowl titles.
All those suspicions about the Patriots declining this season became moot as the defense made the 24-year-old Goff look awful and turned All-Pro running back Todd Gurley into a nonfactor.
While it was anything but odd to see New England celebrate a championship, the manner it earned this one was startling. The 2 1/2-point favorite Patriots moved the ball well, ran down the clock, but made uncharacteristic gaffes on offense. Goff and the Rams made more.
LA's second-ranked offense managed just 57 total yards for the half. The Rams were completely overmatched on the line and were particularly unable to handle the elusive Edelman, who had seven receptions for 93 yards.
Coach Sean McVay, whose Rams never had been blanked in a first half, let out a long, deep sigh just before halftime, recognizing how badly his team was manhandled, even though it trailed just 3-0.
It was the lowest score at halftime since Super Bowl 9, which Pittsburgh led 2-0 over Minnesota.
McVay, the youngest Super Bowl head coach at 34, admitted he was outcoached. He had no answers as Gurley, coming off knee issues, managed 35 yards rushing, Goff went 19 for 38 for 229 yards and was sacked four times. Brandin Cooks, a Patriots receiver last season, did have eight receptions for 120 yards.

In order to love others, we must first love ourselves. In our culture we tend to be really harsh on ourselves. We can also tend to sacrifice for others to a point that goes beyond healthy. While constantly judging ourselves, we do not practice self-love. The we wonder why we attract unloving people in our lives.
Loving ourselves is something we need to start right away. We can buy ourselves flowers. We can plan time for ourselves to do something fun. We can take inventory of our accomplishments.
While taking inventory of our accomplishments, we can also take inventory of what does not love in our lives. Self-deprecating remarks are funny in a laughter-filled environment. But on a day-to-day basis, they simply erode away our self-esteem. Sacrificing so much that we affect our own health is not a loving thing to do to ourselves. It also becomes not loving to others because we become resentful. Stewing in negative thoughts is not a loving practice.
It is not necessary to book a four-day spa vacation to practice self-love. This would not be a loving act if it adds to your debt. Practicing self-love is really a matter of holding oneself with respect and dignity. Anything we do that makes us feel beautiful is loving. We respect the way we present ourselves to the world. We only act with dignity. Except for that laughter-filled environment – in this case, just have fun!
Most important, we should love ourselves because we are God's magnificent creations.
Love is the greatest power of all. Love is like a light that dispels darkness, the darkness being fear. Just like darkness cannot exist if light is present, fear cannot exist in the presence of love.
Fear, not hatred, is the opposite of love. Hatred is simply a subset of fear. Those who act in a hateful manner are not experiencing love; they are experiencing fear.
It is not easy for many of us to always feel love. There are times when anger makes us feel hateful. But if we look closely at what is really bothering us, deep inside we find that it is something we are afraid of. It takes practice to be able to detach from that fear and to always feel love.
The emotions some try to give God (wrath, vengeance, etc.) are not emotions of love and are not God's expressions. They are simply human attributes describing situations where love is not present which people try to put on their perception of God.
Many great people have walked the Earth teaching of love: Jesus and Buddha from ancient times, Mother Teresa, Gandhi, and Martin Luther King, Jr., in more recent history. Their messages were the same: to love one another and avoid unloving actions to other human beings.
The animals we interact with are great expressers of love. They love without judging and they respond to love.
Children are very good at love, also. Whoever heard of a hateful baby?
Love is high-vibration energy. It often is found in joyful, beautiful places. Nature responds to love.
Love, when circulated, returns to us. We also must remember to love ourselves. And, when we find ourselves feeling frightened, we must remember that God loves us and will always provide. With love, there is nothing to fear.
Love is a high form of energy. Sometimes, the only thing we can do to heal a situation is to direct love toward it. Fighting something we cannot change or dwelling on its negative aspects are not going to help and may even make the problem worse. Loving what is may be the only way to heal a situation into wholeness.
This does not mean not trying practical situations. A broken car still needs to go to the mechanic. A broken leg still needs medical care. Most of us are not enlightened enough to heal physical things if our senses are showing us what is wrong. But love will speed healing.
Sometimes healing is not what we expect. People die after the best of medical treatments and all our prayers. A loving wedding starts off a marriage that ends in divorce. This is not love failing. The love may be the element that allows people to die peacefully and marriages to end amicably.
It is important (and comforting) to know that we can always love. We may be powerless in every other way but love will bring us the grace to accept it. Everything happens for a purpose and is ultimately for our best and highest good.
Practicing loving is a wonderful spiritual practice. Like other practices, it will come to us easier the more we do it.
Denise, I enjoyed reading your blog. I "m one of those that isn't in balance. I am working on doing more loving things for myself. Thanks for this reminder.
Cathy, a lot of us are not in balance. It feels like a lifetime effort to me to get more in balance. I'm now at the point where it is more tweaking and less overwhelming (okay, preparing a book proposal with a deadline can put one out of balance!). Good luck with your endeavors and check back here and at my own blog awalkthroughthegarden.wordpress.com for more articles about balance.
Ravenmyth, it sounds like you understand perfectly. The balance is on those four levels: spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical. It isn't easy to do because our culture teaches us to make certain things priorities and that we can do everything. But you are right, we need to know that this is what we have to do and then keep it in perspective all day long. We also need to allow for those times when we have to be out of balance temporarily: final exams (very heavy in the mental realm), the grief process (very emotional), etc. Check out my Facebook page for my book (link below). I talk a lot about this subject and the essays for my book keep coming back to it.
Really good posting… sometime we need someone else in our lives to teach us that we are worth loving and when we learn we open up a part of ourselves that we have never experienced. Then we can really start enjoying life!!
For some reason, we are not taught in our culture to love ourselves, as if it is egotistic or selfish or something. It's a perverse and insidious teaching. I think I had to be taught it at the one time or another. But it is absolutely essential, as you said, to ove yourself first. When two people who are in love also love themselves, it makes for a fabulous relationship. And singles who love themselves will attract partners who also love themselves. None of that myth of needing someone to "complete you"!
Also, I love your photography!
Absolutely right. We must first love ourselves, then we can give and get love. It's very hard process, sometimes long. I think it should be started from parents. In childhood they should support kid, be behind, spend together time, talk open about problems and make to feel sure. Sometimes parents only expect best results in school, forgetting what is most important. Later in adult life can be hard, but anyway there is chance to love. It's important to accept daily life, be happy from this what is just now, to make ground goals and realize dreams. It's not worthy to lose time for bad feelings. Always is better to have positive mind. Even it's not going as we wish, sometimes wind is front of us, sand in eyes- just remember that every effort will bring light, experience. After every storm will come sun :) All things can pass, but love to ourselves will stay forever.
Love adds wings, it's amazing power. We can fly, jump, swim whole ocean and get Mount Everest.
Denise this post is great.
Unfortunately, parents do not always teach their children to love themselves. Some parents are unduly critical which, in a child's mind, makes the child not love himself or herself since they are too young to know how to deal with a parent's criticism. Some parents are simply trying to teach their children about modesty and humility but somehow they don't get the message about self-love across as the balance. These children then need to learn to love themselves when they are adults. As you said, sometimes it's a long process but it is a good process to begin.
So true! Love is the key to everything and yet we love ourselves so little. Thank you for sharing.


(Redwood City, CA) In preparation for the Special Fairmont Drive Territory Election on May 8, 2012, the county's Elections Office will begin logic and accuracy (L&A) testing of the eSlate voting system equipment at 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday, March 28 at the Elections Office at 40 Tower Road in San Mateo. According to Mark Church, Chief Elections Officer & Assessor-County Clerk-Record for San Mateo County, the testing will take approximately one day and members of the public are encouraged to drop by the Elections Office to observe the testing process.
The Elections Office will be conducting a testing process known as "L&A" to ensure that the voting system is able to properly record individuals' votes for the Special Fairmont Drive Territory Election. "L&A testing is absolutely fundamental in the preparation of an election," explained Church. "The test confirms that the voting selections made by the voter are correctly recorded" he added.
For this election, the tally of votes will be by hand count, the L&A testing process will target the electronic votes cast on the eSlate voting machines. The elections staff uses "test" versions of the English, Spanish and Chinese ballots on the voting machines. During this testing process, the Elections Office ensures that all potential voter choices are tested for accuracy.
After successfully passing the testing processes, one accessible eSlate voting machine and one non-accessible eSlate voting machine will be deployed at the Voting Center site, located at 40 Tower Road in San Mateo for voting during the 29 days prior to Election Day.

Seminole golf legend Hubert Green earned the highest honor in professional golf on November 12, as he was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame at the World Golf Village in St. Augustine, Fla. Green was one of just six players recognized with the honor as part of the Class of 2007 and is the first Seminole to ever be inducted.
Green came to Florida State in 1965 and served as the captain of the golf team in 1968. He led Florida State to a 10th place finish in the NCAA Championship tournament in 1968 and guided the Seminoles to several impressive dual-meet victories over many teams in the southeastern United States during his career. Green was inducted into the Florida State Athletics Hall of Fame in 1977 and is one of just six male golfers to earn that distinction. He graduated from Florida State and turned professional in 1969.
A native of Birmingham, Ala., Green was one of the most successful golfers in the history of the sport. He has won 19 PGA Tour events throughout his career including two majors, the 1977 U.S. Open and the 1985 PGA Championship. Green was the recipient of the tour's rookie of the year award shortly after his career ended at Florida State. He also played as a member of three U.S. Ryder Cup teams.
After joining the Champions Tour (also known as the Senior PGA Tour) in 1997, Green continued his success by winning an additional four tournaments. The Seminole fell on hard times in 2003, however, when his season was cut short after being diagnosed with throat cancer. After undergoing nearly six weeks of radiation and chemotherapy treatment, he returned to the Champions Tour in 2004.
There are 120 male members of the World Golf Hall of Fame. Joining Green in the Class of 2007 was standout American golfer Curtis Strange. Strange won consecutive U.S. Open Championships in 1988 and 1989 and has won more than $7 million during his professional career. The ceremony was attended by several past and present faces of Seminole golf including Green's teammate Bob Duval, former coach Hugh Durham and current FSU men's coach Trey Jones.


Welcome to the Artisan Emporium. We're a hidden treasure. We're not located in the plaza, but we're a plaza of our own. It's like 160 little shops under one roof.
Let me introduce myself. I'm WS9 & C29, or should I say, I'm Leslee Freeman. I've lived in Ashland for over 20 years, and dealt in estate liquidation for all twenty years plus. For many years I had an estate liquidation business in Ashland called, Freeman's Estate Liquidation Service. I sold estate items wholesale in a store setting, and I also did several auctions, and sales from my building, and at clients' homes. It was very hard work, but I loved the people I worked with, and I loved my customers!
Now in semi-retirement, I have a wonderful space in the Artisan Emporium, and a show case at the checkout counter full of jewelry. I call my space, "Too Much Good Stuff." I deal in antiques, collectibles, art, and jewelry; anything that is unique and high quality. It could be brand new.
I decided to continue my interest in liquidating, but on a much smaller scale. Sharing a store with a huge family of vendors. I go to hundreds of yard sales during the summer looking for high quality, useful and indulgent items to pass on to you; often at wholesale prices.
Right now, in my space I have a wonderful black vinyl bar from the sixties; a great eating counter for small living space, or a great bar for out by the swimming pool. I even have a Victorian marble top garden table.
My goal is to keep it moving, I have a short attention span, and there is so much stuff out there I just want to keep recycling it into the system.
Besides my space, there are over 160 other unique vendors with a variety of great merchandise.
We're easy to find in the Wendy's shopping center. Open 7 days a week. Monday through Friday 11am to 6pm, Saturday 11am – 5pm and Sunday Noon – 5pm.
A great place to bring your out of town guests. I know they will enjoy browsing to great music in the background, while being assisted by a warm and fuzzy staff with big smiles.
It gives me great joy to have happy customers, while living in paradise…. Ashland.
