A progress report from the president's Food Safety Working Group shows improvements nationwide.
A new report from President Obama's Food Safety Working Group, formed in 2009 after a deadly salmonella outbreak contaminated more than 30 million pounds of peanut products across the US, reveals the government is making progress in securing the nation's food safety. The progress report details a number of FSWG's initiatives and accomplishments, including implementation of an egg-safety rule, new testing requirements for poultry, and ban of six additional strains of E. coli bacteria from the nation's food system. Consumer education, more food-safety rules, and collaboration between the government and the food industry are some of FSWG's goals for the upcoming year. One in every six Americans is affected by foodborne illness each year.

Q: Accessing TWinControl.Handle on TForm.Create I have this code:
procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  DoSomethingWithCombobox(ComboBox1.Handle);
end;

Q: Is it guaranteed that the ComboBox1.Handle is always created on TForm.FormCreate (Form1 is the parent of ComboBox1)? Maybe on OnFormShow?
from my tests, it seems that the Handle is always available at that point.
I know that ComboBox1.Handle will call HandleNeeded at this point. but can I assume that Handle will always be available at this point?
I also know that the TWincontrol can safely access  it's own handle on CreateWnd. My question is specific to a scenario where I cannot control CreateWnd of the child control and only have access to the parent events/messages.
Hope my question is clear.

A: If your tests show that it's OK to access the control's handle there, then it should be OK. You're the application developer, so if you later change anything to break that assumption, you'll also have the power to fix it.
Accessing a control's Handle property will either yield a valid window handle or throw an exception. You won't get a null handle. The exception would typically come when the control's parent window is unable to exist.
The handle you get at that point isn't guaranteed to be the last handle the control will ever have, because controls' underlying windows may be recreated, but since you're the application developer (as opposed to a component-library developer), you have reasonable control over how often windows will be recreated after the form has finished being created. This is because you're handling the OnCreate event. Had you been overriding the Loaded method, for example, there's be less confidence that all window-creation activity had finished.

The $2.5 trillion investor behind a statue of a girl on Wall Street is tackling its own gender problem
Rachael Levy Mar. 10, 2017, 9:23 AM
State Street installed a statue of a girl on March 7 in front of the Wall Street bull in downtown Manhattan. Rachael Levy
A statue of a little girl standing defiantly in front of Wall Street's iconic bull caught the public's imagination this week.
The statue was installed by State Street Global Advisors, a nearly $US2.5 trillion investor and unit within State Street Corp., ahead of International Women's Day.
Business Insider's story on the statue has been read by over 1.2 million people. P
eople visited Wall Street to place pink, floppy "pussy hats" atop the head of the newly installed statue.
But State Street, like many money management firms, has a gender problem of its own. And while it has a better record than many, both in its industry and across corporate America, it recognises it needs to do more.
Women make up only one in five employees at the company's investment unit, for instance. Only three of the firm's 11 board members are women.
"We, like many companies, are lagging our goals," Lori Heinel, State Street's deputy global chief investment officer, told Business Insider earlier this week.
Looking at the company broadly, the gender makeup is closer to 50%, Heinel said, though not at more senior ranks. "If you get into the upper echelons, we are still a work in progress," she said.
State Street is far from alone — women are missing across the investment industry — and by some measures, the company is ahead of its peers.
Here are some stats, according to a Morningstar study from last year.
Only one in five mutual-fund managers is a woman — a rate that hasn't budged since 2008.
In the US, that number drops to one in 10 (making State Street progressive with its one in five figure).
The US a laggard, far behind countries such as Singapore (with a 30% rate for the make-up of women), Portugal (28%), and France (21%).
The investment management industry is "basically forgoing the talents of half of our population," Heinel told Business Insider.
State Street is aware of the problem on its own turf and says it has been taking steps to improve. In 2014, the company made gender diversity "a major strategic focus," establishing diversity goals and metrics to meet by the end of 2017, according to a spokesman. The company says it has exceeded its goals so far.
Among its projects: The company's investment unit is trying to recruit women (about 60% of interns last summer were female), and has rolled out a job search tool that is supposed to neutralise words in job descriptions that could be off putting to potential women applicants.
The company tries to keep interviews to facts- and skills-based questions to remove unconscious biases when hiring, Heinel added. Close to a third, or 30%, of hires globally were women in 2016, while 36% of exec promotions were women.
These efforts are grounded in a recognition that companies with strong female leadership outperform those lacking in gender diversity.
Last year, State Street launched an exchange traded fund (ticker: SHE) which invests in companies that have high levels of women on their boards and within senior leadership. The fund has attracted close to $US300 million in assets, and is invested in c
ompanies like Pfizer, PepsiCo and Amgen.
According to the marketing material for the fund, companies with strong female leadership (defined as having a board with at least three women or a higher percentage of woman than the average in the company's country) deliver a 34% higher return than those without.
By that measure, State State, with three female board members, is ahead of the S&P 500 average.

08/01/18 - LOVE AND WAR Offers New Song "Edge Of The World" For Free Download
Houston, TX energetic melodic hard rock band Love And War has released the new free advance title track "Edge Of The World" from their upcoming second album of the same name.
Download the track at the following location:
New Song "Edge Of The World" For Free Download
The band has checked in with the following comments:
Guitarist John Adams:
"The process has been a Journey well deserved for us! Recording in Beautiful Arcadia Valley Missouri, south of St. Louis, at Endeavor Studios with engineer/producer Greg Gill, former guitarist for Z-LOT-Z. Greg recorded our first record Up The Annie in Houston and has been a longtime friend and we welcomed him back with open arms in recording our latest record Edge Of The World! It's going to be a MONSTER and we can't wait for everyone to hear it! We expect to release it in the coming months.
"Writing the song/title track 'Edge Of The World' started in bits and pieces, I had the Intro already written for a while along with the main riff of the song, not knowing right away where to go with it. I was practicing one day and the chorus came together, I had read a quote about Standing on the Edge of the World, where the world is your 'Reality', where you stand and Look over the edge into your spirit world, by combining the two you will be whole! I wrote the chorus with that in mind, I turned it over to Jeff from there and said 'write the verses' and he finished it off. We are very happy with the way it came out, it's a monster song!"
Vocalist Jeff VandenBerghe:
"Recording our new album Edge Of The Word at Endevor Studio with Greg Gill has been amazing. The raw tracks were laid down first with the guys then John and I went back and I added the main vocal tracks and harmony vocals…John put down rhythm guitar tracks and laid down his scorching leads. Working with Greg is awesome, he's got a great ear and knows his way around the console. He had done such a great job on our first CD, Up The Annie it was a no brainer. This album is gonna be a monster; can't wait for the world to hear it!
Some song lyrics come easier than others; 'Edge Of The World' just sort of flowed out once I had an idea of a thought process behind the title, sometimes I write about things that I've done good or bad or things that I don't want to do or places I don't want to go emotionally sometimes life's frustrations or situations make you feel like you're standing at the edge of a cliff looking down into a huge chasm; it's times like that you have to take a step back reevaluate and prioritize to make it through it. It sort of came from there. Then I just put a Twist on it John's music brought it to life. I love this song and the way it came out; coming up with a good melody line is always a challenge to make it work with the music John comes up with...that's what I love about working with him. We've worked together writing songs for years; it always just seems to come together we know each other styles."
Bassist Ray Soliz:
"The recording process for me was quite easy. We had been playing the tunes for the new record live for quite some time. Leaving Houston and traveling to the beautiful town of Ironton, MO. was a much needed change of scenery. I actually recorded all my tracks within a few hours the first trip to Endeavor studios. Most of them are first takes, and I had very few fixes and punch ins. Greg Gill, our producer, was such a pleasure to work with and has such an awesome ear for music. He allowed me to just flow and play the songs as I had played them live. I'm looking forward to the new release. The first release was already recorded when I joined the band, so to be a part of this project with my friends has been special. The song 'Edge Of The World' was written rather quickly. John Adams already had the riffs, some lyrics, and of course guitar solo ideas. This is one of my favorites off the new release. It's got great riffs and hooks. Jeff did an awesome job on the vocals, and the guitar solo is blistering. Donny's double kick work really drives the tune."
Drummer Donny Bragg:
This is the third time I've worked with Greg Gill and he always makes me feel comfortable in the studio. I couldn't imagine working with anyone else in the studio! He captured me at my best, as he did John, Ray, and Jeff. The new record, Edge Of The World, is something that I'm extremely proud and I feel that it's going set our fan base on fire! I think it's heavier and more groove oriented than Up The Annie. I'm really looking forward to EOTW being released soon! I really hope everyone loves it as much we do!"

Tension for Tuchel As PSG and Real Madrid Enter Big Race for the Signing of Top Chelsea Star
Thursday, August 12, 2021 at 8:11 PM by Ibitoye Shittu
Antonio Rudiger has emerged as target for Spanish side Real Madrid and French giants Paris Saint-Germain
Paris Saint-Germain have been spending big on the transfer of players as they recently signed Lionel Messi
Since joining Chelsea from Roma in 2017, Antonio Rudiger has been impressive in the Premier League
Antonio Rudiger who is currently on the books of Chelsea is reportedly being monitored by the duo of Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid who are Spanish La Liga giants.
The performances of the German footballer is said to have won the hearts of those in charge at Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid and want his signature.
Last season, Rudiger was in the best form of his career so far helping Chelsea to win the Champions League title with a win over Manchester City in the final.

Rudiger's contract situation at the Stamford Bridge is also attracting Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea as the German will be entering the final year of his deal with the Blues.
According to the report on UK Sun, Antonio Rudiger is said to be committed in remaining in London and continue playing under Thomas Tuchel who has changed Chelsea since he came on board.
The report added that Sky Sports' Dharmesh Sheth explained that is not distracted and he is gearing up towards helping Chelsea in the coming term.
Dharmesh Sheth's reaction
"Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger will weigh up all options before deciding on future. Contract talks with Chelsea underway. At 28, he sees next decision as biggest of his career.
"Rudiger fully committed to Tuchel & Chelsea this season. Real Madrid and PSG keeping eye on his situation."
Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Chelsea stars Kurt Zouma and Antonio Rudiger could not contain their joy after winning this year's UEFA Super Cup title as they danced to Tekno's hit song 'Skeletun'.
The Blues defeated their Spanish League rivals Villarreal 6-5 on penalties after settling for a 1-1 draw in the normal regulation period including the extra time.
Kai Havertz powered the Champions League holders ahead in the 27th minute while Gerard Moreno's 73rd-minute equaliser helped the La Liga outfit to stretch the game beyond 90 minutes.
Meanwhile, neither side was able to find the back of the net in the additional 30 minutes of the elongated encounter and they settled the dispute with shootouts.

Well, after taking four months or so off of house projects I felt ready to make another to do list =) So in the last week or so I've started checking more items off of the list! In honor of my birthday I went on a little shopping spree and got a beautiful new picture for over the couch in the green living room. (thanks Mom!) And I also finally got around to recovering the fireplace cushion we made, and now it matches beautifully! I love the fabric so much I think I'll recover my dining room chairs too.
I also finally repainted Serenity's closet. I had originally left it alone, but we always kept the doors open since she wanted to be able to get in and out of her secret room, and it bugged me to see the beige that I'd painted over everywhere else every day! So now it's a nice blue, lighter than the rest of her bedroom, with white woodwork. And then I went ahead and took the doors off the closet! It's great! It makes it feel like there's so much more room in there! I reorganized a bit and put in a dress up area to the right of the closet with a mirror, a tub full of dress-up stuff, and some knobs to hang things. It's been a blast, and it's so cute to see her check herself out in the mirror =) She does a cute little sway with a big grin as she tries on her dresses. We have also enjoyed wearing the random hats I got, like the fireman's hat or Alpha Pig's hat.
It's hard to photograph but there's SO much more room to play in her room now!
Very dirty beige and doors in the way!
Clean ceilings and green paint... but the fireplace cover does not really match even though Eric liked the temporary fabric =) The new fabric is much sturdier!
Emily and I got to host a baby shower for Gavin and Jennie! Yay for babies, and yay for parties =) It was a blast, and I think they enjoyed it a lot! They are doing a jungle/giraffe theme in their nursery, so of course I went with lots of animal stuff for the decorations! I got animal print lanterns, made colorful tissue paper poms, and got a green feather tree for a centerpiece.
My sister made awesome cupcakes for us, lemon and chocolate with either chocolate ganache or mint chocolate. They were spectacular! Stacey was just grabbing a cupcake, intending to take it in the other room, but after licking the icing said she had to stop right then and eat it =) I had the lemon and it was worth every calorie! Serenity ate two! Jennie said she loved the mint chocolate especially. The rest of the food was all tropical to match the decor, with monkey bread, tropical fruit tray, and shrimp pineapple kabobs.
Gavin and Jennie got lots of great stuff! I made the quilt and some soft photo blocks for them.
I put all the rest of the videos and pictures up on phanfare so you can look there to see the whole party!
It's our 8th Anniversary (Ok, like three weeks ago now, but hey, we were busy celebrating =) and in honor of that we're doing our yearly update!
This was a very exciting year for us! Eric found a new job, we bought our first house, and our baby girl turned two years old! Eric's job is at a company called TradeHelm. There are a lot of great people working there, and he's enjoying it a lot! A couple of people there have kids too, and we've had wonderful playdates with Ben and Susie a few times. He also gets to play racquetball with his boss occasionally, and Frisbee golf a time or two! So it's a good fit.
We had great fun making new holiday traditions in our new home, including October's pumpkin patch visit, Christmas fun with our advent calendar and other decorations, Easter (making a path to her Easter basket) and other holiday fun!
Serenity is growing in to an amazing, funny, sweet, curious little girl. She is still definitely a Mama's girl and I treasure all the extra snuggles and love that means. Since our last anniversary she's learned all her letters, colors, basic shapes, and is now learning how to read! She loves puzzles, reading, movies, and tea parties. I wrote extremely detailed stories about Serenity for her second birthday posts, and another update just this week so all I will say is that Eric and I cannot imagine life without her. She is wonderful!
We were fortunate enough to get to do a lot of traveling. We visited California four times, in November around Henry's birthday, in January for the holidays and Epic Duels, in April for Aidan's birthday, and again in July for our amazing Tahoe Gathering and Super Fantastico! We also went down to Norman every other month to stay with Gavin and Jennie, and they came to Tulsa the rest of the months. It's so nice to be close enough to visit our great friends in Norman and OKC! We also had several other visitors to our house already, including Jason, Tiffany, Alex, Alli, Ann, Tina, Ashlee and Joel, Jessie, Summer and the rest of the SYTYCD crew, and my nephews Casey and Barrett spent the night! I love having company and hope to have more visitors and parties next year! We did host a Cookie Party and Game Night at our house around the holidays (near Eric's birthday but not a birthday party he insists).
Both our cars broke down within 24 hours of each other and so we got to buy a new blue car! Serenity likes the new car although it is mostly because I play her Glee cd in my car and Eric has only a basic radio to offer.
In other activity news, we have dinners with my Dad and Rosario on Wednesdays. He always cooks which makes me feel a little guilty but I just have to make it up to him in the occasional pie =) We also go to Mom's party house a lot for big family get-togethers and movie nights. She has a crazy playground in the back yard which Serenity of course has no fear of climbing, so that's fun for all! We were Tulsa Zoo members all this year, which means we went quite often! We're thinking of doing the aquarium next year, we'll see. We also joined a music class for Serenity, which is a blast and has led to many entertaining moments of her singing and dancing. (although not necessarily IN class, she performs for us later =) We also see Daddy every Tuesday for lunch either in his office or at the park.
Eric continues to enjoy playing Magic online, and online games with Jack and Eddie. We have recently started trying to play tennis with Jessica and Phillip, who moved back to Tulsa this year! Yay! So far we've hit a few excessive heat days, but we just switched to game night. We're flexible like that. =) Eric helped coach a baseball league with one of his coworkers too.
We love you all! Have a great year!

Sara Bareilles Previews Imminent Album With Clip Of "If I Can't Have You"
April 1, 2019 May 22, 2019 Hidden Jams	0 Comments	Amidst The Chaos, Armor, Clip, Fire, If I Can't Have You, New Album, New Song, No Such Thing, Preview, Saint Honesty, Sara Bareilles, Song Preview, Soulful 4 min read
In just a few days, Sara Bareilles will release her long-awaited new album, Amidst The Chaos. Following singles "Armor," "Fire," "No Such Thing," and "Saint Honesty," Sara is adding to the excitement with more previews. Today, Sara shared a clip of her song "If I Can't Have You," which she co-wrote with Aaron Sterling and Emily King; Emily also sings on the track.
Based on the song preview, "If I Can't Have You" sounds like an homage to the 1960s. Sara excels in this old-school soulful vibe, and Emily's backing vocals add to that rich sound. The clip opens with drums, and the clear chime of piano and guitar give this track a lot of breathing room. It sounds earthy and warm, just like Sara promised. "If I Can't Have You" is an uptempo groove with a delicate, longing edge. Based on the lyrics, fans would naturally think this is a breakup song meant for someone you still love. But fans would be wrong. Sara told an audience last month that it was actually inspired by the Obamas.
Hear the preview of "If I Can't Have You" below:
A post shared by Sara Bareilles (@sarabareilles)
You can pre-order Amidst The Chaos and get instant downloads of the four released singles. You'll get "Armor," "Fire," "No Such Thing," and "Saint Honesty" now, with the remaining eight songs coming on April 5th.
The album will include 12 new songs (which of the 13 songs Sara recorded didn't make the cut?). Sara has recently performed the new songs in intimate concerts around the United States. You can hear the live previews online, but here at Hidden Jams we're waiting for the album to drop first. Check out the full tracklisting for Amidst The Chaos below:
If I Can't Have You
Eyes On You
Miss Simone
Wicked Love
Poetry By Dead Men
Someone Who Loves Me
Saint Honesty
A Safe Place To Land (feat. John Legend)
Amidst The Chaos was produced by T Bone Burnett. Fittingly, the new music has a rootsy sound and will touch on politics, Obama, and love (for Obama, but also for Sara's boyfriend, Joe Tippett). The imminent album will be Sara's first in six years.
Sara's last standard studio album, The Blessed Unrest, came out in July 2013. Though it's been half a decade already, Sara has certainly kept busy with other projects. It started in 2015, when Sara released a book, Sounds Like Me: My Life (So Far) In Song. That year also launched Sara's career in musicals.

Sara composed all the songs for a musical called Waitress, which debuted in Boston in summer 2015. That November, a selection of those new songs appeared on Sara's themed album, What's Insides: Songs From Waitress. In 2016, Waitress went to Broadway; in 2017 – and again in 2018 – Sara took on the lead role of Jenna. She played Jenna for a third time earlier this year, and just finished her run in February.
Sara Bareilles is now also preparing a new TV show called Little Voice – not only a nod to her album of the same name, but also the title track she wrote 15 years ago. "Little Voice" will serve as the upcoming fall show's theme. Perhaps the song will finally see an official release? We hope so!
Amongst the whirlwind of activity, fans have patiently awaited a new record. At this point, we won't have to wait much longer! Catch up on all we know about the new record so far while we wait for Amidst The Chaos to drop in just a few days.
Enjoy the new clip of "If I Can't Have You," and get ready to hear Amidst The Chaos in full on April 5th! Keep checking back here for all the latest Sara Bareilles music news.

Sector Report - 06/05/2018
The impact of MiFID II on IR day-to-day activities
The Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II (MiFID II) came into effect in the European Union on January 3, 2018, changing several financial market rules not only for EU member countries, but potentially for the whole world.
The more than 7,500 pages of the new legislation include two major points of interest for Investor Relations professionals: individual payment for research reports and corporate access. Until last year, it was common practice not to pay for research reports or the corporate access provided by brokers, as this cost was embedded in brokerage fees (bundle). MiFID II has changed this dynamic because it requires that these services be paid for separately, forcing the unbundling of the "brokerage + research + corporate access" package.
In practice, these two changes mean that investors have to review their budgets in order to adapt to the new reality. Regarding research, the size, scope and reach of sell-side research tends to decline, as the demand for research on large companies and market darlings should remain stable or fall, while the demand for small-cap and lesser-known companies should drop.
From the corporate access viewpoint, the frequency of roadshows and other events is expected to decrease. In addition to the aforementioned reasons, we must consider that neither investors (or potential investors) nor companies need an intermediary to be able to interact, although it is an undisputed fact that banks and brokers are great facilitators of this process.
Therefore, the IR team should face and be prepared for the following situations:
Smaller reach of the message sent to the market through the sell side;
Increased demand directly from investor or potential investors; and
Reduced reach of roadshows and events organized by banks and brokers, such as reduced attendance and number of meetings.
Reach beyond the European Union
It is wrong to think that MiFID II applies only to European companies and investors. As mentioned above, the recent regulation of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) establishes that all those who have business or do business with the European Union are subject to it.
This means that, if an Italian bank has a branch in Argentina and this branch hosts a roadshow in a EU member country, it will be subject to the rules of MiFID II. If a Brazilian bank has a branch in Portugal, this subsidiary is subject to MiFID II. If an American broker has a customer in Germany, operations with that customer must comply with MiFID II standards. And so on.
In Brazil, when talking to several IRs of companies from various sectors with various market caps, we see there is not yet a uniform view of the impacts of MiFID II on day-to-day operations. Some have said that they have felt little or no difference in the behavior of analysts and investors since the implementation of the new rules in the European Union; others reported having already felt greater demand from investors, who have been asking for more calls and meetings (one reported to have received a request for a meeting between events he was attending in the US); while another reported that roadshows in Europe can no longer fill all their time slots.
However, regardless of the view of each IR team, it is undeniable that MiFID II has already changed and will continue to change the modus operandi of the financial market. Other countries are likely to adopt some of the measures set out in the new regulation in order to standardize their operations around the globe.

Q: std::shared_ptr to std::function How can I use a shared_ptr to a function like this:
#include <iostream>
#include <memory>
#include <functional>

using namespace std;

struct S {
    void operator()(int i) {
        cout<< i;
    }
}

int main() {

    shared_ptr<std::function<void(int)>> fun = make_shared<S>();
    fun(7);
    return 0;
}

If I compile this example I get the following error:
main.cpp: In function 'int main()':
main.cpp:15:62: error: conversion from 'std::shared_ptr' to non-scalar type 'std::shared_ptr >' requested
     shared_ptr<std::function<void(int)>> fun = make_shared<S>();
                                                ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~
main.cpp:16:10: error: no match for call to '(std::shared_ptr >) (int)'
     fun(7);

What is the correct way to do this?

A: You can't assign a shared_ptr<S> to a shared_ptr<std::function<void(int)>> just because you can assign an S to a std::function<void(int)>.
You could however just make a std::shared_ptr<std::function<void(int)>> from an S. The S would be the argument passed to make_shared, i.e.
#include <iostream>
#include <memory>
#include <functional>

struct S {
    void operator()(int i) {
        std::cout << i;
    }
};

int main() {
    auto fun = std::make_shared<std::function<void(int)>>(S{});
    (*fun)(7);
    return 0;
}

What Is the Connection between Estrogen and Estradiol?

The connection between estrogen and estradiol is that they are both hormones and are very similar to one another. Estrogen is a hormone important for sexual reproduction, and it is the primary sex hormone in human females. Estradiol is a form of estrogen that is produced by a woman's ovaries and is important to sexual organ development and reproduction. The other primary types of estrogen are estriol, which is dominant in pregnant women, and estrone, which is dominant in menopausal women.
Anatomical model of the human body
Estrogen is a sex hormone that is often discussed in regard to its importance in reproduction, the menstrual cycle, and even the treatment of annoying symptoms of menopause. There are, however, various forms of estrogen, which is how estrogen and estradiol are connected. Estradiol is the main type of estrogen in a woman who is not pregnant. The two other primary estrogens are referred to as estriol, which is the form of estrogen a woman's body usually produces while she is pregnant, and estrone, which is the main form of estrogen produced when a woman is in menopause.
The estrogens that circulate in the female body, including estrogen and estradiol, are produced by a woman's ovaries or by the placenta during pregnancy. Follicles in the ovaries, which develop and mature eggs for release at ovulation, produce estradiol. The placenta, which helps to sustain a developing fetus, produces estriol. Though the various forms of estrogen and estradiol are important throughout a female's lifetime, estradiol is most important in the time leading up to ovulation. During this time period, it helps with thickening the lining of the uterus to prepare for a fertilized egg and making cervical mucus hospitable in case of incoming sperm.
It is important to note that most people do not distinguish between the different forms of estrogen when they are discussing this type of hormone. Instead, they usually use the word estrogen in a generic sense. Then, if there is a reason to discuss a particular form specifically, they may specify that they mean estradiol or another type. For example, many women who are hoping to conceive have fertility testing in day three of their menstrual cycles, and these tests typically check the level of estradiol present. Likewise, doctors might test estrone levels in menopausal women or those with certain ovarian and uterine conditions, and they may also test estriol levels in women who are experiencing high-risk pregnancies.

@ElizaBennett - My doctor had told me about the lower estrogen during breastfeeding. He said that's why breastfeeding seems to help protect against breast cancer; basically anything that lowers your lifetime exposure to estrogen (like if you happened to be a late bloomer) will help with that.
I have one of those aunts who's a bit too forthcoming (single lady, active social life) who was telling me all about the estrogen options post-menopause. Apparently, you can use an estrogen cream or something like that inside your vagina instead of having to take pills or shots. That way, it doesn't enter your system as much and you don't have as much risk of serious side effects, but you can still treat dryness.
ElizaBennett
Something that a lot of women don't realize is that after your baby is born, your estrogen levels will be low while you're breastfeeding. The lower estrogen tends to reduce your interest in sex (as, of course, does being up several times a night and generally having a tiny person hanging on you all the time) and can even make it uncomfortable because low estrogen can mean vaginal dryness.
I breastfed both my children and it was a wonderful experience; I certainly wouldn't want to turn anyone of it. I mention this consequence only to help people have realistic expectations and to help them wait it out. If you understand why your desire is low and why sex is painful, you can be more patient with yourself (and hopefully your partner will be, too).
Estrogen is *supposed* to be low during breastfeeding, but some doctors will prescribe hormonal contraception to breastfeeding moms, even pills with estrogen. The estrogen can drop your milk supply, so I recommend against it! And the minipill, which only has progesterone - well, that's not going to do your libido any favors. You might be better off using a barrier method or, if you want something hassle-free, maybe an IUD. (They are expensive but your insurance may cover it.)

The Klingons in Star Trek: Discovery are not woke. And nobody knows this better than Mary Chieffo, the actress who plays L'Rell, High Chancellor of the Klingon Empire. In the latest episode, "Point of Light," L'Rell has to make major sacrifices to appease the patriarchal and hypocritical forces within the Empire. And as Chieffo explains, what L'Rell deals with allows for Star Trek to not only go full-on Shakespearean, but also comment on real-life sexism in an extreme way.
In "Point of Light" we learn that L'Rell had a secret baby with Voq, prior to his transformation into the human/Klingon hybrid Ash Tyler in Season 1. But the baby, and her human-ish lover, Tyler, become a big liability for L'Rell in this episode. Basically, the male-dominant Klingon Empire won't take her seriously as a leader if she is caring for a small child and has a human-looking lover at the same time. At the end of the episode, a scheme is devised (with a little help from Michelle Yeoh and Section 31) to fake the death of both Tyler and the baby, essentially securing L'Rell's position of power, but at great cost. As proof of her devotion to the Empire, L'Rell holds up the heads of Tyler and her child, in a scene that feels very Shakespearean, but also a little Game of Thrones, too.
Mary Chieffo isn't someone who is lost in her character per se, but she is aware of the power of what her character can do. Not only in an episode like "Point of Light," but in the canon of Star Trek in general. Since the new aesthetic for the Klingons was established in Season 1, Star Trek: Discovery has taken a lot of heat from certain kinds of Trek fans. And those fans often demand answers as to why the Klingons look different than they did before. The biggest debate lately has been all about Klingon hair. They didn't have it in Season 1, and now, in Season 2, they're growing it out. This is explained, quickly, as a sign that the Klingons are at peace.
For those who follow Chieffo on social media, the actress is very active in responding to fans, even when those fans ask nitpicky questions about the designs of the Klingon makeup. For Trekkies of the 21st century, this seems normal, but in the past, Trek actors weren't on social media explaining the motivations of their characters. When The Next Generation was on in the '90s, Michael Dorn didn't get Twitter messages from angry fans asking him about Klingon hair. But Mary Chieffo does, and she replies to all of it.
Chieffo also decided early on to own the idea that she would not be recognizable as herself in the role, and to treat it as a blessing and curse she shares with co-star Doug Jones. But, despite the isolated nature of the Klingon makeup, Chieffo feels she's in a unique place in which her art is being discussed ahead of her status as an actress.
Star Trek: Discovery Season 2 airs on Thursday nights at 8:30 p.m. ET on CBS All Access.

Creating a community succession plan
Engaging the next generation of aspiring business and community leaders
Article by BRANDY RODTSBROOKS | Eugene Area Chamber of Commerce
Succession planning is a hot topic of conversation in boardrooms and businesses across our region. As the boomer generation prepares for retirement and Gen X and Y move into leadership positions, how do we cultivate the next generation of business front-runners to carry forward the great companies that support our local economy and Eugene as a community?
A quick Google search will deliver templates, consultants and thought-leaders with opinions to share as business leaders dive into succession planning. Building a thoughtful strategy to recruit and develop the next generation of managers for key roles in an organization makes good sense. As business leaders focus on succession planning for their individual businesses, what is the outlook for businesses and their support of their communities as a whole?
The truth is, doing business has changed a lot from one generation to the next. It was only a few decades ago that corporate social responsibility was considered a novel concept, with businesses innovating to align their practices to reflect a set of values that connected them to their community. Now, an entire generation has grown up with business and community alignment as a standard—a generation that is actively make purchasing decisions, career choices and volunteer commitments that support business and community integration.
As younger generations move into positions of leadership, the assimilation of business and community is shaping the way they engage. Many young professionals today are bringing with them a high level of enthusiasm, not only to the boardroom but also as they engage at city council meetings and when volunteering with local nonprofits. They are excited to collaborate, innovate and build their companies and cities. And, they want and need mentors.
This shift presents new opportunities, in terms of how we cultivate our next generation—not only for business success, but for building and sustaining a healthy community. What we need now, more than ever, is a thoughtful approach to community succession planning.
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF COMMUNITY SUCCESSION PLANNING?
In Eugene, we are fortunate to have a community of diverse business leaders that spans several generations, who are actively engaged in moving forward a shared vision of our region. By taking a thoughtful approach to succession planning, we're ensuring that our community will continue to grow and evolve.
HOW DO WE ENGAGE THE NEXT GENERATION OF COMMUNITY LEADERS?
Actively identify and create opportunities for future leaders in unexpected places. Ask yourself: Who are the ones already showing up to lend their voice and insights to move business and the community forward? How do we produce opportunities to position them for growth?
Encourage momentum for projects and programs that will help Eugene leverage the best growth opportunities ahead of us and overcome the barriers that have limited the pace of progress.
Pass along insights that will help the next generation of leaders find a better sense of balance between careers, civic engagement and community responsibilities.
Ensure that engagement continues in shaping our future community after the leaders of today retire, by getting young professionals involved now.
Promote smart decisions that will ignite innovations in business, social services and local government.
It's important that we commit to paying attention to young professionals with a passion for this city and put opportunities in front of them to develop, strengthen and cultivate connections. Let's leverage the innovations of the last several decades and create a legacy that will last far beyond our time in the boardroom.
LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH THE NEXT GEN?
The Eugene Chamber's Young Professionals program is already engaging a new generation of aspiring business leaders. Join us at the YP Summit, on June 12, to meet the young professionals who are ready to step-up. Find out more at EugeneYPSummit.com

"My experience at the Amalam School of Yoga at Outer Banks Yoga was truly a unique one, a comprehensive interdisciplinary teacher training in Kitty Hawk North Carolina. Studio manager and teacher training director Anne Follenbach Howard, quickly became the instructor I naturally gravitated towards as a student, as I was eager and diligent to deepen my practice and Anne immediately became so obvious, as a passionate and endless source of yoga knowledge and direction.
My practice became a lifestyle, sometimes taking multiple classes a day and the benefits became hard to ignore. My thirst for more knowledge of myself and yoga seemed endless and it was Anne who was always there with an answer about the asanas, insight to the lineage, and sincere encouragement, even sometimes a maternal nudge of discipline. After several invitations to partake in the teacher training, I apprehensively agreed and with all due sincerity it quite possibly could have been one of the greatest decisions of my adult life.
I now teach at four yoga studios and co-own one of them I teach a multitude of classes weekly and have manifested a loyal following of people who seek of themselves and great health, relationships and friendships that have now so obviously become priceless. Yoga, as a student and now an instructor, has given to me happiness that is immeasurable. It's truly an honor to be a graduate of the Amalam School, and the confidence and pride in my teaching is direct result of being under the tutelage of Anne Howard, I'm a teacher to hundreds now but I'll always be her student, some teachers are too special to equal. So, in review, after speaking, visiting, attending classes at just about everywhere, it's not presumptuous to say I feel like I'm a graduate of Harvard for yoga. I know that with the knowledge I've acquired with Anne, at the Amalam School, I could teach anywhere with confidence providing a safe and beneficial environment for all my students.


Albatroz Engenharia S.A is a private company answering its customers innovation needs in the areas of robotics, aeronautics, software, mechanics and electronics.
The company is based in Lisbon, Portugal and started its activities in March 2006.
Albatroz Engenharia has created two innovative solutions for aerial power line inspections with integrated, interactive, real-time tools and sensors to improve the quality of electrical service while minimizing maintenance costs.
Its flagship product, called Power Line Maintenance Inspection (PLMI) was developed in three variants, two of which are already flying in Portugal, Spain and France. The LiDAR vegetation maintenance ("line track inspection") solution has unparalleled economic efficiency and was used to inspect more than 300.000 km since its inception.
Other product prototypes were developed, including a rail inspection tool, a 3D modeling system for archeology or virtual scenarios, and a Laser Measurement Tool (LMT).
Albatroz Engenharia is dedicated to the research, development and delivery to its customers of innovative solutions addressing their needs in the areas of robotics engineering, signal processing and related technical areas.
Albatroz Engineering believes that the optimal solution for a given problem is usually not the best technical solution nor the cheapest workaround; instead it lies somewhere in the middle of the spectrum and the exact optimal point must be determined for each client. Serving two clients with (seemingly!) the same needs, usually leads to different optimal solutions.
The company works in close cooperation with customers during each project stage. Albatroz Engenharia members interact with customers teams – if possible even participating in their work – to learn their activities specifics. Albatroz Engenharia members are then able to look at challenges from an internal and external point of view. The customer is kept in the loop about project progress and thrid party audits are welcome during the project.
Albatroz Engineering has established itself as a bridge between universities, research centres and industry. It promotes internships and co-operation with schools as well as long-term partnerships with industry leaders (suppliers, peers and clients).
Although only some of the company's engineers are IEEE – Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers – members, Albatroz Engenharia follows IEEE etics code, a clear, concise and complete code that is adequate to the company's activities.
Albatroz Engenharia deploys research and development activities in reponse to its clients needs in the fields of robotics engineering, signal processing, aeronautics, software and related fields.
with local societies to learn and assess market needs and deliver optimal tailored solutions.
Albatroz Engenharia believes that only in this way can provide the optimal solution that suits each client.
Albatroz Engineering regards sustainable development as the framework to design its activities.
The objects of the activities are all persons external to the company affected by its activities as well as the human, social and natural environments affected by it.
The subjects are the team members, suppliers and other partners that contribute to the companies activities.
Albatroz Engenharia implemented a policy based on five principles.
In June 2007 the development of the 3D reconstruction of power lines project was completed, which was integrated into the Power Line Maintenance Inspection (PLMI) solution.
Later on, the development of an evolution of the PLMI system for Spain was started. This later solution is distinguished from the previous one by greater precision in the geographical location on points of interest and by the integration of asset management tools and geographic information systems in the system architecture. At the end of 2009 there were three PLMI systems operating (two of which are still under operation), performing a total of 11.900 km of inspected lines.
In 2010 Albatroz Engenharia began working on the inspection of medium voltage lines, stepping up the number of kilometers inspected to about 21.500 km. In the same year, the obstacle detection software for Canada and U.S.A was licensed.
In 2011, Albatroz Engenharia entered the French market with the rental of the PLMI system and the provision of inspection reports. After inspections are performed in the customer territory with the PLMI system by an aircraft operator, Albatroz Engenharia analyzes the data and processes output ?les according to the customer speci?cations.
In 2012, with the introduction of a second PLMI system, its presence in the medium voltage market was strenghtened. The company reaches 48.200 km of inspected lines from which 28.000 km were in medium voltage. The company becomes part of the PME Inovation COTEC network.
In February 2014, Albatroz Engenharia was recognized as Design Organization Approval (DOA) by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). In the same year, seven PLMI systems were used in total, having inspected more than 60.000 km of power lines.
The year 2015 was marked by the launch of the TRAX system, a system that is distinguished by its versatility and lightweight (2kg), since it allows 3D modeling or inspections of power lines from the ground, with the system mounted on a car, a tripod or a vest.
In 2016, 10 years after the creation of Albatroz, the company has surpassed the 300.000 km barrier of inspected lines, and became part of the NSPA database.
In 2017, the HELIX 300 was launched, a system that in addition to maintaining the key attributes of previous systems (integration, flexibility and real time), stands out with new and improved features.
In the last two years. The company has been present in many fairs and exhibitions and has also become a member of APANT.
Albatroz Engenharia counts on its permanent team with external collaborations and in certain cases former Albatroz members.
Since its foundation, the company has also had the participation of interns from various countries of different continents through various internship programs, having developed academic work and obtained professional experience in Albatroz Engenharia.
The permanent team consists of engineers from several areas: Aerospace, Mechanics and Electrotechnics, Computer Science, Software and Image Processing.
It also has a large team responsible for analysis and reports elaboration of line inspections.


An ideal means of ensuring the cleanliness of drinking water is to use chlorine dioxide (ClO2) as a disinfectant. Chlorine dioxide is highly effective against all types of germs and has a long residual time in the system, meaning that it disinfects even without extracting water. The big advantage of chlorine dioxide over other disinfectants is its effectiveness against biofilms.
The chlorine dioxide production system, Oxiperm 164/166, is the perfect solution for fighting Legionella and other germs in drinking water.

Your brain is the most powerful organ in your body in regards to success. Depending on your mindset your day can go many ways.
You could have had a bad experience the day before and because of that you keep focusing on it and even more negative experiences keep popping up in your awareness. Do you really want to keep going down the road of negativity and doom and gloom?
Some people I really wonder but since you have read this far down I think not for you right?
We are all going to have negative experiences and the goal is to respond correctly to them so we don't keep going around being crap magnets.
Turn your negative situation around as quick as possible by looking for what is going right in your life in the moment, think of the simple things and then expand on that.
When you wake up in the morning say to yourself "Every day and in every way I am getting better and better.". If you prime your brain correctly each day your focus will bring you toward success rapidly and with less physical effort.
If your brain is always working efficiently by concentrating on what is going right and you continue to find more things that are going right your dopamine levels will increase and your performance as well increases.
Set large goals and then break it down into small achievable goals each day to keep your brain at peak performance. Trick your brain into not being disappointed with goals that are not reached immediately by celebrating each small step forward you have made.
Prime your brain throughout the day with positive mantras like the one I described earlier in the post. Words have a powerful effect on your performance and by priming yourself with positive words you will completely change your life around.
You hold the power of choice and even though we suffer great tragedies in life we can always look for the positives in the moment. The more you practice this the better you will get and the better your daily experience will be.
It will take practice, depending on how deep your beliefs about things are it may take a long time before this works for you but if you embrace it as you have nothing to lose I believe you will be a success.
If you are looking to better your mind and body see what I'm doing here.
Thanks for stopping by and checking out my post on Prime Your Brain for Success.

From Heaven To Hell In A Week
"The ultimate measure of a person is not where they stand in moments of comfort, but where they stand in times of challenge."
This was kindly sent to me by a very close friend just before I started the Marathon on Sunday morning and on the 16th mile, it was this quote that spurred me on to push for a 8min 30sec mile between miles 16 and 17. So, as you may have guessed ladies and gentlemen, I definitely started the London Marathon (regular readers have endured me boring them to tears with my build up to the big day!). So what happened after mile 17? Well, I'll tell you at the end of the blog. The clue may be in the title though.
10 Of The Most Successful Male Models Of All Time
By Emily Chan
The heaven part of this week began in Germany at the world famous and historic Nurburgring. Built in the Twenties, but modified many times, the "Nordschliefe" was nicknamed The Green Hell by Jackie Stewart and is widely considered the toughest, most dangerous, and most demanding purpose-built racing circuit in the world. And Jaguar were stupid, I'm sorry, I mean kind enough to let me lose on it for 10 glorious laps of the 22km course. It's something every petrol head dreams of doing once in their life and, thanks to Jaguar I got to drive in each and every wonderful car in the range - with top drivers and experts instructing me from a car in front.
Wow, what a car company and brand Jaguar are becoming. I wrote an article 18 months ago on how I thought, without the restraints of Ford ownership, just what a sleeping giant it is - and they are proving me right (smug grin). Their cars pretty much top all the car categories they enter into. The engines, engineering expertise, chassis set up, use of lightweight aluminum and design, are as advanced and astounding as you will find in the industry. The history of the company is also virtually unrivalled. Hollywood stars such as Steve McQueen driving the XKSS, the Jaguar E type, Le Mans 1-2-3 wins - they have it all and it's British (aren't all the best things? Hmmmmm).
Back to the Marathon. My time for the 13th mile was 1h 50, which I was happy with and, although hard going (it was a very warm day), I had a good rhythm. My refueling was going well, the injured knees and calf muscles were holding up well and then - disaster. On the 17th mile, both my thighs cramped up - something I've never suffered from before or had thought about. I tried stretching, more hydration, even having a leg massage by the wonderful St Johns ambulance - but to no avail. All I could do was walk and run a little from then, but with running the cramping and pain got even worse. So I finished in 4hrs 34mins which was a little disappointing and you know what this means - I'm going to have to go through it all again and get a better time!
Thank you to all of you who have supported and sponsored the Oxglam group. The real inspiration on the day though are the amount of people who turn up to support and cheer and give the runners jelly babies (this was my favourite part). But also just the grit, determination and guile of fellow runners, from PC David Rathband who is blind and ran it, to a guy who ran the entire race backwards. Amazing. Also a quick mention to fellow VOGUE.COM blogger Henry Holland, who completed it in what I heard was 3hs 30m. Well done Sir!
Quick fashion/style reference. While watching a programme about Margaret Thatcher, what held my attention was the amazingly attired gentlemen in the background of all the TV clips. It turns out that his name is Gordon Reece and he was political strategist to 'Maggie' in 1979. Now that's how an English gentlemen should dress, quite brilliant, men take note!
Now, leaving two hours earlier than I usually would, I'm off to the airport. My legs and muscles will only allow me to waddle at a very slow pace today.

There's a huge amount to see and do (and eat) in Brooklyn, but visitors to New York rarely have enough time to make the most of this exciting part of the city. Here's how to fit Brooklyn's greatest hits into one very fun day.
Weird but true, the best thing about visiting Brooklyn as a tourist is that it's pretty short on tourist attractions. Yes, you want to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge and catch the view of the Manhattan skyline from across the East River, but there aren't actually many other can't-miss sights. Which is great, because it means more time for wandering and soaking up the vibe in New York's coolest borough.
But just because you don't have a huge number of attractions to tick off your list doesn't mean you should go to Brooklyn without a plan. Why? Because Brooklyn is enormous. If Brooklyn was a separate city, it would be the third biggest in the United States (after Los Angeles and Chicago). But though you'll only see a tiny fraction of the place, if you stick close to the river – with a single detour into downtown – a 'best of Brooklyn' tour is surprisingly easy to do in just one day.

One more note before we start: this itinerary is one that works as well in reverse: You'll have just as wonderful a day if you start with brunch in Williamsburg (I love the quiet and cool Marlow & Sons, and the gorgeous vegetation-covered 'plant room' at Juliette); head south to Dumbo for a walk along the waterfront and pizza at Grimaldi's or Juliana's; and finish up with a sunset stroll over the Brooklyn Bridge and back into Manhattan.

If you're in New York during summer, the earlier you arrive at Manhattan's City Hall entrance to the Brooklyn Bridge, the better. From mid-morning the Manhattan side quickly becomes snarled with slow-walking tourists, all of whom seem intent on stopping for group selfies at every opportunity. But when the views are this spectacular, who can blame them? Follow their lead and remember to regularly pause, turn around, and take in the awe-inspiring Manhattan skyline in all its glory.

When you reach the Brooklyn side, double back and walk towards the river, into the neighbourhood known as DUMBO (the name stands for "down under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass"). Despite the weird name, this is one of Brooklyn's most historic districts, its vast 19th century shipping warehouses now home to cool design stores, fashionable restaurants and some very lucky (and wealthy) apartment owners. While you're there, stop for coffee and a pastry at Brooklyn Roasting Company and browse the treasures, vintage and brand new, at the wonderfully eclectic Front General Store.

Brooklyn Bridge Park runs for more than two kilometres along the waterfront, but the section around the bridge itself is the most popular with visitors and locals alike. From DUMBO, start walking south and you'll pass a head-spinning number of attractions and activities – basketball courts, tennis courts, sand volleyball courts, an in-line skating rink, playgrounds, wild flower meadows and more – many of them built on old industrial piers.
Time to move on. Head back towards DUMBO and take the subway from Clark St towards Prospect Park, the borough's vast and beloved public park. You have two choices here: the first is to get off the subway at the Grand Army Plaza station and head into the park itself – on your way in, check out the amazing gold-decorated doors of the Brooklyn Public Library and buy a freshly squeezed juice from one of the food trucks near the park's main entrance. Prospect Park has the feel of a more peaceful, less touristy Central Park – which makes sense, as both parks were designed by the same duo in the mid 1800s.

If you've had enough of parks for now, stay on the train for one more stop and you'll emerge outside the Brooklyn Museum. No piddling outer suburb museum this, Brooklyn Museum is the third largest in New York and home to around 1.5 million antiquities and works of art. You could easily spend the best part of a day here, but even if you see only a small part of the collection, it's well worth the visit. Bonus: its cool marble interior is a blessed relief on a stinking hot New York summer's day.

By now you'll be ready for a late lunch. Good options in the vicinity of the museum include Tom's, a classic diner-style eatery that's been serving customers since 1936; acclaimed pizza restaurant Barboncino; and nostalgia-heavy hamburger joint Dutch Boy Burger. After lunch, it's time to head north – a long way north (remember what I said about Brooklyn being bigger than you think?), to Williamsburg. You could do it by subway, but be prepared for a long and annoying journey, including an unavoidable five-minute walk between stations halfway through. Unless you're on a strict budget, I recommend splashing out on an Uber. It'll be worth it.

Ask to get out on Bedford Avenue, Williamsburg's main strip. Your destination is... nowhere in particular. The appeal of Williamsburg is the place itself: a super-hip district full of fashionable bars, cool restaurants and beautiful things to buy. It's easy to lose a few hours here window-shopping – don't miss indie clothing boutique Bird Brooklyn, jewellery store Catbird and weekend-only indoor market Artists & Fleas – but if you're not in the mood to spend, the quirky NYC community history museum City Reliquary on Metropolitan Avenue is a great alternative.

As day turns into evening, Williamsburg locals head to their favourite watering holes, from grungy dive bars to glamorous cocktail lounges. Follow the cool kids to the hugely popular Union Pool (or come back later when the music gets loud and the party gets rowdy), kick back in the wonderfully atmospheric Loosie Rouge, or check out some newly-trendy natural wines (those made with minimal chemical intervention) at The Four Horsemen, where they also do excellent bar food. For a more substantial dinner, your choices run from the cheap and cheerful – Vanessa's is great for dumplings – to 'push the boat out' fancy. Try the fantastic Meadowsweet near the waterfront – their US$85 five-course tasting menu is a steal for New York – or the widely praised Reynard in the Wythe Hotel, where you can finish your night with a cocktail and a million-dollar Manhattan skyline view at the rooftop bar, The Ides.
