I've said it a bit recently to those around me, "it's not how you start, but how you finish." And don't get me wrong…. It's easier to finish well when you get out of the blocks cleanly.
We judge a person on today or their past, but we have no idea of their future and where that will lead. The choices, experiences and people that will all come together to make a complete picture in a life.
I know it's hard, but as I read the verse this morning I wondered if we judge in life, when we should just have discernment? So I got out the old dictionary and looked at the difference between judge and discern.
Basically, discern is to recognize something as opposed to judging where you form a conclusion about it. I mean, I can discern that someone else is doing something that is harmful or full out wrong. I can then take steps to not be harmed by these actions, but I just can't pronounce judgement. The end isn't written yet! If I do judge, does that contribute to an environment that pushes them towards a not so good result?
I am not sure….but it makes me think? There have been people in my life that have judged me prematurely, and I think there has been a bit of an impact. I am grateful though for those who have been on the other side. The one's that have given me the chance to change, grow and mature. Those are the ones that didn't write me off, but gave me the time, love and encouragement to fulfill the potential they saw and hoped to see bloom.
So it's so hard to be me sometimes. It must be even harder to be my hubby, having to put up with me! I have a tendency to ponder things. Ok, I tend to ponder EVERYTHING! I think it's irritating sometimes, but it's who I am and so I try to embrace it.
I was sitting in church the on Sunday, and we were looking in the book of Revelation. The imagery in the book is always a pretty trippy experience, but of course it got me to thinking? I know…..what doesn't get me thinking?
In a nutshell, we have John seeing into heaven and he's upset because this important scroll can't be opened. What does the scroll contain? Of course there are some very good educated answers, but what made me think was John's reaction. Why would he be so upset? Did he know what was in the scroll? I am not sure, but what I do know is that, because there was no one worthy he was distraught. He lacked hope.
Yep, the geek came out of me at that point and all I could think of was the quote from the movie Rogue One. Oh, and my hubby. You see when he got the phone call from the doctor, his reaction was pretty funny. He was so happy! He was smiling and talking excitedly! I could hardly believe I was looking at a person who'd just been told they have a brain tumor! It was crazy, but I realized that the excitement on his face was what that diagnosis really meant for him. Hope! He was in a bad place, as the pain became progressively worse in the past couple of months. It didn't help that he was frustrated by not being able to work a full day, his deteriorating eyesight and trying to find a doctor who could help him. It was the holidays, but it was hard to find the "happy" during that time. So with the diagnosis, everything changed.
Hope is such a powerful thing. It can take the gravest of circumstances and give you a different perspective. It gives you the strength to move forward, and face what you never thought you could. Hope is a beautiful thing!
There is of course a caveat to hope…you need to be careful where you put it. Let me be clear, at this point my hope was not in the doctor, not in the diagnosis or whether it was cancer or not. There was only one place where I could truly put my hope, and know that I would never be let down. And that was in the Lord. I knew at that time, no matter what happened, from the best outcome to the worst we would be OK. We would survive! I knew that because of how God had provided for our lives in the past, and from what I knew He had told me about the future. It was actually the first thing I wrote about this year, https://cherylmendoza.com/2019/01/01/new-year-same-playlist/.
We are still not done with the process. My hubby is still recovering and will have radiation later this year, so this chapter of our story is still being written. Even so, before we were out of the hospital we were making plans. New places to visit, a family wedding, concert tickets bought and a much more "happy" holiday season.
We look forward to it all, good and bad, with hope!
I had a sermon playing on my phone as I was pulling weeds. It's funny. I've listened to it a couple of times before but this was the first time I remember hearing the quote. Maybe it caught my attention because of circumstances. I tried to keep listening, but the quote kept turning in my head, so I turned it off and put on some music.
We've had so much rain lately that the weeds have taken over. So it was past time to get out and clean them up. They were easy to pull, as the ground is soft and the weeds were pretty big. Some of it was small and kind of reminded me of ground cover. It was more delicate and harder to pull out. It was such a pain! I had half a mind to let it stay, but I knew no matter what they looked like, they were still weeds. As green as they were, I knew that it would take over and that wouldn't be good. Plus, it would have gotten me into huge trouble! My son worked one spring to get the area all dug out and the mulch put down, so I want to honor the work he did by keeping it cleaned out and looking good.
I think of how upset he would be if I just let it all go to the weeds. It took him time, sweat and a lot of hard work to get it all completed. Like the quote, he had built something that took effort, and as I looked at the mulch, I saw how easy it could be ruined.
It's a lot like life. Even things that are developed, worked on and cultivated can be ruined when we leave the habits, activities or even people that shouldn't be there.
God help me to keep the weeds pulled!
Timing is everything. I've really been amazed at the people we've met over the past couple of months. How they encouraged us, provided good care for Mike and helped us navigate the process. One of my favorites was an older lady I met while Mike was having an MRI. This was before we had his diagnosis. We had gotten to the office where the MRI would be done, and I can remember thinking for the first time how fragile Mike seemed. We both got out of the car and he waited for me. We've always held hands when we walked, but now it was different. We walked slower, more carefully. I was holding his hand more to help him, than simply out of affection. When we finally got into the back, Mike went into get the MRI done, and I sat out in a small waiting area. No one was out there with me until an older couple came back and were waiting. Ugh! I did not want to talk to anyone! So I kept looking straight ahead and did all I could not to make eye contact. When the man was called back, I was doing great, keeping my eyes to myself and not attracting any attention. Well, that was until I started laughing.
I mean it wasn't my fault! It was the technician that was taking people back. So he finishes up with a patient, and tells him he can go. Right at that time a doctor comes up and wants to talk to the technician, so he tells the patient to just sit down. The patient, confused now that he is getting two different sets of instructions, stands there unsure of what to do? When the doctor steps away, the technician sees the poor man and asks why he is still there? The patient says "well the doctor told me to sit," and the tech just says, "what does he know, he's only a doctor?" The patient then leaves, and I start cracking up watching this play out in front of me. I then made my mistake, and made eye contact with the lady that was sitting there. When I relayed why I was laughing, she couldn't hear me, so of course I had to sit next to her and share the story. By that time it was all over, I was trapped into a conversation that I didn't want. For that, I am so grateful!
So we talked, or at least I listened while she talked. She shared a lot of her life in just a few minutes. We also got to talking about her moving into a new "adult community" and her fears of finding a place with the new people she would meet. We also talked about her son, and the new woman in his life. She had liked her, was impressed with her education and intelligence, but was unsure because she had tattoos. She was a good Catholic lady, and this seemed to bug her a lot. So I did what I do best, and told her what I had learned along the way. Encouraging her to remember the times she had been the new person in the past, and how she had found a place then. I told her that this would be the same, and not to worry. I also told her about my own son and his many tattoos. She seemed to be comforted by the words and my own experiences. It was a great conversation, distracting for me and encouraging for her!
By the time my hubby was coming out where we were waiting, she was giving me a hug goodbye and telling me she "loved me". She was adorable, and it was such a fun conversation! Mike asked who she was, and I told him that we had just met. He just gave me a look? That was a moment though that I just thanked God for perspective. It was the last time I would try to cut myself off from the people around me. I realized that God may have put them in my path to help me cope. Even more important, God may have put me in their path for the exact same reason.
Today is the start of the Lenten season, and in the past couple of years, I've come to really love it! I almost missed the beginning, since we have been a little busy around our house. My hubby reminded me yesterday was Fat Tuesday, and its kind of become a tradition to have red beans and rice for dinner. I am glad that we didn't miss it because we needed a little fun this week, and I needed a little reminder of what Lent means to me.
So for the next 40 days I am going to try my best to listen and write. To try and see how we got here, how God is getting us through and look into the future to see where He may lead us next on this crazy journey!
There is a song I've really liked since I was a teenager, "Only time will tell" by ASIA. It came out in my MTV years, and I must have watched the video a hundred times or more. I hadn't heard it in years, but out of nowhere it popped into my head. Well not totally out of nowhere, as it seemed to sum up what I had been reading pretty nicely.
It's something I started learning last year when I read about David. He was being run out of town, as his son was forcefully taking over. As he is leaving, he is heckled by a certain man who was a relative of the previous king. When David's men wanted to kill the man for his words, David stops them. He tells his men that what this guy is saying may be true. God may even have told him to say it. So who am I, says David, to do anything about it?
I was really struck by David's attitude. It was like he realized that God could have told this guy to say these things. That maybe this guy could be speaking truth, and until David knew if it was true or not, then he was going to leave this guy alone. We see later that when time had gone by, the man did get his comeuppance by David's other son, Solomon.
It was like David understood that, "only time will tell." And David's life is a prime example. God says of David, "he is a man after my own heart." Really? Looking at David's story, there are plenty of times where he looked anything but that kind of man. We can only somewhat understand what God means when we look at David's life as a whole.
So I had read that last year, and for some reason it really stuck with me. That sometimes you really have to wait to see the whole picture. Sometimes the real truth or even the real personality only comes out through time.
Only time will tell. I was glad to be pondering what God was saying to me. This seemed to be a lesson I needed to learn, although at the time I wasn't sure why. It did give me hope that truth will eventually be made known. It made me think though, what will happen in the "only time will tell" portion of the story? How will that effect people? It made me nervous.
God is in control, but sometimes His work seems slow in coming. Really, that "slowness" is His mercy. Sometimes I am not obedient to what He is asking, and instead of dealing with it immediately, He gives me a little time to get my act together. Sometimes I do, and sometimes I don't. When I do, it is pretty good. I learn, grow and get closer to God. If I don't? Well, then typically God has to do a bit of work in my life to bring me around to His way of thinking. Many times it's painful. If something shouldn't be in my life, and if I don't let it go, well then God has a way of taking it out of my hands. It is for my own good, but it hurts when that happens. Even more concerning, it has the potential of hurting others.
It is the potential harm to others that really made me wonder. How can that be averted? I have seen where God had to do this with people and depending on who it is and their position, it can be a confusing time. I know, I've lived it. By God's grace, I was able to get through it by having someone whom I respected taking the time to walk through it with me. We would talk, bringing me wisdom when all I felt was confusion. I don't even remember what she said, but her willingness to be a sounding board is what kept me on track. One thing I know we did not do, well that was get into a session where we just blamed people.
The funny thing was, I didn't know the whole story back then and I don't even know it now. One thing is for sure though, I made it through. I still love Jesus, go to church and even still serve. This did not make me turn sour on the church or the people involved or following God.
It really made me wonder why?
It really drove home to me that the responsibility for my spiritual growth, journey and beliefs was mine. Oh….and God's of course! I wasn't to sit back and let someone tell me what Jesus was saying, I needed to see for myself. I needed to use the brain that God had given me to read, listen, study and seek the Holy Spirits guidance. I can listen to others, but I was also to run what was said through the Holy Spirit to see if it made sense. To use scripture as a means to know this God I follow, so that I can make decisions that would honor Him.
Without realizing it, I just kept looking up. I started to learn things through God's word. Not by someone else teaching them to me, but by the Holy Spirit making me see things. To hear truth in His word and see it reflected in His creation, people, and even in a song with a really bad music video.
I wondered if this would be my last post for 2018 or actually be the first of 2019? I have plenty of time to make it before the new year, but I don't seem to be very focused. Like other times when I am writing, I seem to have a hard time starting. If I can get my brain to relax and just type, then I can actually get something done.
So our Christmas is finally over. It was a weird year, but not in a bad way or anything, just different. We planned to have my extended family down this weekend, so a few of my boys got into town to be here when everyone else was. So for Christmas itself, we were not all together. Since there was only my husband and two of the boys, we hung out and went out for a fabulous dinner. It was fun, but different.
It's also been a little mellow because my hubby isn't feeling well. Constant headaches and dizziness are really taking a toll on how he is feeling. So we stayed close to home and just kept a low profile. This weekend though was full of extended family, babies, nieces, nephews and pierogi. While it was kind of hard on my hubby with so many people in the house, I could not have been given a better Christmas present. We typically get together during this time of year, but it's always somewhere else. This year, they all made the drive to see us. It was great because now I have all those good memories of Christmas fun, in my own home. That was worth everything to me!
I was able to talk to my oldest son for a while last night. We stood outside beneath the stars, wondering at the beauty of the night sky. We talked of the new year and the feeling that something was coming. It was a bit foreboding, but we both agreed that no matter if it's good or bad in store, God would have our backs.
As I dropped him off at the train station this morning, we somewhat felt the same way, and continued to talk of what the new year would bring. We encouraged each other and then I left him at the station. I started the car and I drove away. The radio was turned all the way down, so I turned it up and had to laugh at the song on that was playing. It was "Faith" by George Michael. It was a reminder that no matter what's in store, faith was going to get us through. I pulled over so I could text my son right then, and he texted me right back, loving the message in the song. It was then I let him know the very next song….. "I will survive." And in those lyrics I knew whatever is coming this new year, God already knows and has the way through it.
His response to my second text? "God is the best DJ!" And it's so true!


Experiencing a stillbirth can be a potent stressor for psychological distress in the subsequent pregnancy and possibly after the subsequent birth. The impact on women's relationship with her partner in the subsequent pregnancy and postpartum remains uncertain. The objectives of the study were 1) To investigate the prevalence of anxiety and depression in the pregnancy following stillbirth and assess gestational age at stillbirth and inter-pregnancy interval as individual risk factors. 2) To assess the course of anxiety, depression and satisfaction with partner relationship up to 3 years after the birth of a live-born baby following stillbirth.
Women pregnant after stillbirth had a higher prevalence of anxiety (22.5%) and depression (19.7%) compared with women with a previous live birth (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 5.47, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.90–10.32 and aOR 1.91, 95% CI 1.11–3.27) and previously nulliparous women (aOR 4.97, 95% CI 2.68–9.24 and aOR 1.91, 95% CI 1.08–3.36). Gestational age at stillbirth (> 30 weeks) and inter-pregnancy interval < 12 months were not associated with depression and/or anxiety. Anxiety and depression decreased six to 18 months after the birth of a live-born baby, but increased again 36 months postpartum. Relationship satisfaction did not differ between groups.
Women who have experienced stillbirth face a significantly greater risk of anxiety and depression in the subsequent pregnancy compared with women with a previous live birth and previously nulliparous women.
It is well known that a stillbirth affects women's mental health in the short term with increased risk of anxiety, depression and posttraumatic stress [1–5]. Although psychological sequelae persist for some women [2, 6], symptoms of anxiety and depression seem to decrease within the first 1–2 years after a loss [2, 7]. A strong desire to become pregnant again is common among couples that experience perinatal loss, and about 50% embark on a new pregnancy within a year [8, 9]. The subsequent pregnancy could be regarded as an emotional stressor that may interfere with the normal grief process [10–13]. Observational studies describe elevated levels of depressive symptoms , posttraumatic stress symptoms , anxiety symptoms [8, 14] and reduced levels of prenatal attachment  in pregnancies subsequent to stillbirth. However, the prevalence of psychiatric disorders among women pregnant after stillbirth remains unknown. Studies are also conflicting as to whether or not the symptoms of anxiety and depression diminish after the birth of a healthy baby [8, 15, 16].
Some researchers suggest that women are more vulnerable to anxiety, depression and posttraumatic stress when a new conception occurs soon (< 12 months) after the stillbirth [8, 12]. On the other hand, the degree of grief and psychological distress may manifest itself even stronger if a woman struggles for a long time to become pregnant again [17, 18], and women pregnant after a previous loss may show less symptoms of depression compared with their non-pregnant counterparts . Gestational age at the time of pregnancy loss may influence the degree of psychological distress, and grief reactions may be stronger among women with late losses [15, 19, 20]. However, third trimester losses are found to be associated with less anxiety compared with second trimester losses .
There has been a long-standing recognition that mental health problems like anxiety and depression, as well as marital dissatisfaction, are likely to co-occur. A woman's relationship with her partner may be affected by pregnancy loss. While some find that the risk of subsequent partnership breakdown is increased [21, 22], others find no such association . To our knowledge, there is little data on the effects of a previous stillbirth on partner relationship in the subsequent pregnancy.
Establishing the effects of a previous stillbirth on womens mental health during and after a subsequent pregnancy and identifying risk factors for anxiety and depression provides a base to improve health care guidelines. One of the main challenges when doing research in this field is the relatively low incidence of stillbirth in industrialised countries. Therefore, most studies in this field are limited by small sample sizes without adjustments for confounders or are retrospective case-control studies with imminent risks of methodological bias.
The objective of the present study was to estimate the prevalence of anxiety and depression in the subsequent pregnancy after stillbirth and to assess gestational age at the time of stillbirth and inter-pregnancy interval as individual risk factors. We also wanted to investigate the course of anxiety and depression as well as satisfaction with partner relationship from the second trimester and up to 36 months after the birth of a live-born baby.
This study is based on selected data from the Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study (MoBa) and on records from the Medical Birth Registry of Norway (MBRN). MoBa is a prospective population-based pregnancy cohort study conducted by the Norwegian Institute of Public Health . Participants were recruited from all over Norway from 1999 to 2008. The pregnant women consented to participate in 41% of invited pregnancies and the cohort now includes more than 95,000 women, 75,000 men and 114,000 children . After registering for a routine ultrasound examination at approximately 17 weeks of gestation, all women received a postal invitation, which included an informed consent form and the first questionnaire. Follow-up is conducted by questionnaires at regular intervals. The current study is based on version VIII of the quality-assured data files released for research on 14th of February 2014 and reports data collected from 1999 to 2012.
The MBRN is based on compulsory notification of all live births, stillbirths and late miscarriages or terminations of pregnancy and includes information on current pregnancy and delivery as well as previous pregnancies .
This sub-study included women participating in MoBa, who were pregnant subsequent to a stillbirth, and two reference groups: 1) women with at least one live birth and no previous stillbirth and 2) nulliparous women. Women not responding to the first MoBa questionnaire or with missing MBRN data were excluded. For all three groups only women with singleton or twin pregnancies and with the MoBa pregnancy resulting in a live birth, were included. Results of the previous pregnancies were identified using data from the MoBa questionnaires and verified by information from the MBRN. Stillbirth was defined according to the World Health Organizations International Statistical Classification of Diseases 10th revision, ie, fetal death at 22 or more completed gestational weeks or birthweight > 500 g . Aside from the selection criteria, the reference women were randomly selected from the entire MoBa cohort.
A previous study reported high levels of depression symptoms among 28% of women pregnant after stillbirth compared with 8% of controls . Assuming a prevalence of 25% for depression or anxiety in the subsequent pregnancy after a stillbirth and 10% for reference women, a sample size of N = 100 in each group yields 80% power for detecting differences of this magnitude using a 5% significance level.
We identified 197 women in the MoBa cohort who had experienced stillbirth in their previous pregnancy (previous stillbirth group). The reference groups included 394 women with a live birth in their previous pregnancy (previous live birth group) and 394 nulliparous women (previously nulliparous group). We assessed data from questionnaires answered in gestational weeks 17 and 30, and 6, 18 and 36 months after the delivery of a live-born baby. Background variables from the MBRN for both the MoBa pregnancy and the previous pregnancy (previous stillbirth or live birth), were also assessed.
At the second assessment (30 gestational weeks) 174 women with a previous stillbirth, 362 with a previous live birth and 365 nulliparous women completed the questionnaire. A flowchart for the selection of the sub-study population is provided (Fig. 1).
Depression and anxiety was measured using short versions of the Hopkins Symptom Checklist (SCL)  shown to correlate highly with the total score of the original scale, and to have good psychometric properties [29, 30]. We used two 4-item subscales measuring anxiety and depression during the previous 2 weeks (SCL-4a and SCL-4d). A combined score was used in pregnancy week 17. Items were scored on a Likert scale ranging from 1 ("not at all bothered") to 4 ("very much bothered"). We defined a mean score > 1.75 on SCL-4a and/or SCL-4d as presence of anxiety and/or depression . Cronbach's alpha of internal consistency ranged from 0.69–0.80 for the anxiety subscale and 0.77–0.81 for the depression subscale.
A five-item version of the Relationship Satisfaction Scale (RS) was used to assess maternal relationship satisfaction among married/cohabiting women . Developed for the MoBa study, the RS is based on core items from previously developed measures of marital satisfaction and relationship quality [33–35]. The RS correlates 0.92 with the Quality of Marriage index  and has a high ability to predict future break-up/divorce and life satisfaction [32, 37, 38]. The abbreviated five-item version (RS5) correlates 0.97 with the full 10-item version . Each item is rated on a 6-point (1–6) Likert scale, and the total score is the mean score of all items. An average score below 4.0 implies a relatively high risk of break-up (11–15%)  and a score ≥ 4 was applied as cut-off to denote relationship satisfaction in this study. Cronbach's alpha ranged from 0.87 to 0.90.
Sociodemographic, health related and obstetrical history factors were considered as potential confounders for the association between having experienced a stillbirth and anxiety or depression in the subsequent pregnancy. Maternal age at the time of the MoBa delivery (whole years) was retrieved from the MBRN. Co-morbidity was defined as having at least one of the following previous medical problems reported in the MBRN: Asthma, hypertension, recurrent urinary tract infections, kidney disease, rheumatoid arthritis, heart disease, epilepsy, diabetes mellitus, and/or thyroid disease. Other covariates were questionnaire data obtained at gestational week 17 or 30 and included parental status at first assessment (married/cohabiting), native language other than Norwegian, pre-pregnancy daily smoking, high pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI ≥ 25), low education (high school or less), low income (< 200,000 Norwegian kroner/year) and previous termination(s) of pregnancy or miscarriage(s). Stressful life events were defined as having at least one of the following experiences during the last 12 months: 1) Problems at work or study place, 2) financial problems, 3) divorce/separation/relationship break-up, 4) conflicts with family or friends, 5) serious injury or illness to the woman herself or a loved one, or 6) involvement in a serious accident, fire or robbery.
Information on gestational age at the time of stillbirth and inter-pregnancy interval was retrieved from the MBRN. Gestational age at stillbirth (based on last menstrual period and/or ultrasound measurement) was categorised as ≤ 30 weeks or > 30 weeks. Inter-pregnancy interval was defined as number of months between the date of stillbirth and the subsequent conception (estimated by ultrasound measurements) and categorised as < 12 months or ≥ 12 months.
Categorical data were reported as proportions and compared between groups using chi-square tests. Age at the time of the MoBa delivery was reported as mean years and compared between groups using independent samples t-test. To reduce potential sample distortion caused by missing values, the Estimation-Maximation procedure in SPSS was used to impute missing values on SCL-4a, SCL-4d and RS5 if at least 50% of items were present. This resulted in 0.4% missing on SCL-4a, 0.4% missing on SCL-4d and 1.9% missing on RS5 at first assessment.
The McNemar's test was used to analyse the differences in frequency of anxiety, depression and relationship satisfaction between different time points. Binary and multivariate logistic regression models were used to estimate odds ratios (OR) and adjusted odds ratios (aOR) for anxiety and/or depression in subsequent pregnancy among women with a previous stillbirth compared with the two reference groups. Covariates that were unevenly distributed between the groups (p < 0.1), associated with the outcome variable in a bivariate model (p < 0.1), and not strongly correlated (correlation coefficient < 0.7), were included in the multivariate analyses. Current age was included in all multivariate models and each final model was checked for interactions.
For the stillbirth group, separate binary regression models were used to test if gestational age at stillbirth or inter-pregnancy interval were significant predictors for anxiety or depression in the subsequent pregnancy. To preserve power and reduce the number of comparisons, we combined anxiety and depression in the subgroup analyses. Covariates and anxiety/depression in the third trimester were compared between participants completing all five questionnaires and participants who dropped out at any point after 30 gestational weeks.
All data were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Science version 22.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, United States). Two-sided p-values < 0.05 were regarded as significant.
Background characteristics are presented in Table 1. Women with a previous stillbirth and women with a previous live birth did not differ significantly according to age, but were significantly older than the previously nulliparous women. A high BMI and a low educational level was more prevalent in the previous stillbirth group compared with both reference groups. Women with a previous stillbirth more often reported stressful life events compared with women with previous live births, but not compared with previously nulliparous women.
Background characteristics did not differ significantly between participants completing all five questionnaires and participants who dropped out at any point after 30 gestational weeks, with the exception of more smokers among drop-outs in the previous stillbirth group, and more participants with low education and younger age among drop-outs in the previously nulliparous group (data not shown).
In the third trimester of pregnancy (30 gestational weeks), women with a previous stillbirth more often experienced anxiety (22.5%) and depression (19.7%) compared with women with previous live births (4.4% and 10.3% respectively) and previously nulliparous women (5.5% and 9.9% respectively) (Table 2).
These differences remained significant in the multivariate analyses. The aOR for anxiety was 5.47 compared with the previous live birth group (95% CI 2.90–10.32, p < 0.001, adjusted for age, education, pre-pregnancy smoking and stressful life events) and 4.97 compared with the previously nulliparous group (95% CI 2.68–9.24, p < 0.001, adjusted for age and education). The aOR for depression was 1.91 compared with the previous live birth group (95% CI 1.11–3.27, p = 0.019, adjusted for age, pre-pregnancy smoking, BMI and stressful life events) and 1.91 compared with the previously nulliparous group (95% CI 1.11–3.36, p = 0.026, adjusted for age, education and BMI). There were no interactions present in any of the final models.
The proportion of women with both anxiety and depression in the third trimester was 12.7% among women with a previous stillbirth compared with 3.6% in each reference group (p < 0.001 for both comparisons).
The prevalence of anxiety and depression decreased significantly from first assessment to 6 months postpartum among women with a previous stillbirth (p < 0.001 for anxiety and p = 0.031 for depression). By six and 18 months postpartum, respectively, the prevalence of depression and anxiety was not significantly different between groups (Table 2).
From six to 36 months postpartum, the prevalence of anxiety and depression increased significantly in the stillbirth group (p = 0.039 and 0.035 respectively) and the prevalence of anxiety, but not depression, increased significantly in the nulliparous group (p = 0.039) (Fig. 2). At 36 months postpartum, the prevalence of anxiety and depression was higher among women with a previous stillbirth compared with women with a previous live birth, but not compared with previously nulliparous women (Table 2).
The prevalence of anxiety and depression in the third trimester differed among women with a previous stillbirth completing all five questionnaires compared with drop-outs at any point after 30 gestational weeks (for anxiety 15.2 vs 32.4%, respectively, p = 0.007 and for depression 12.1 vs 29.7% respectively, p = 0.004). No such differences were observed when comparing drop-outs with responders among women with a previous live birth or previously nulliparous women.
The mean gestational age at stillbirth was 33.5 weeks (95% CI 32.5–34.6, range 20.4 to 42.6) and 115 women (68%) lost their baby at gestational age more than 30 weeks. The median number of months between stillbirth and the subsequent conception was 6 (range 1 to 183 months) and the majority of the women (n = 122, 70.5%) became pregnant within 12 months after the stillbirth. Inter-pregnancy interval shorter than 12 months between stillbirth and the next conception or gestational age at stillbirth > 30 weeks was not significantly associated with higher odds of anxiety and/or depression in the third trimester of the subsequent pregnancy (OR 1.49, 95% CI 0.70–3.16 p = 0.301 and OR 2.11, 95% CI 0.98–4.55, p = 0.056 respectively).
The frequency of relationship satisfaction among married/cohabiting women decreased slightly in all three groups from the first assessment to 36 months postpartum (p = 0.012 for women with a previous stillbirth, 0.049 for women with a previous live birth, and < 0.001 for previously nulliparous women). There was no significant difference between women with a previous stillbirth and the reference groups at any point (Table 2).
Women with a previous stillbirth had higher prevalence of anxiety and depression in the subsequent pregnancy compared with women with previous live births and previously nulliparous women. The prevalence decreased considerably after the birth of a live-born baby, and was not significantly different from the reference groups by 6 months postpartum for depression, and 18 months postpartum for anxiety. However, 36 months postpartum the prevalence of anxiety and depression had increased and was again significantly higher compared with women with a previous live birth, but not compared with previously nulliparous women. Relationship satisfaction was not significantly different between groups at any time point. Having experienced a late stillbirth (> 30 weeks) or a short interval between stillbirth and the subsequent conception (< 12 months) was not significantly related to anxiety and/or depression in the subsequent pregnancy.
Allthough symptom levels have been studied previously, to our knowledge this is the first study to estimate the prevalence of anxiety and depression contemporaneously among women pregnant after stillbirth.
We are also the first to assess relationship satisfaction in this setting. The data is derived from a large national cohort and our sample size is larger than the majority of previous studies in this field. The prospective design of the present study minimised reporting bias and enabled a long follow-up period. Previous studies have typically made comparisons solely to a control group consisting of either women with previous live births or primigravidas. Applying two reference groups to further explore the psychological impact of stillbirth makes this study unique.
The participation rate of 40.6% at first assessment is a weakness, but as expected for population-based studies . A study investigating selection bias in the MoBa study found that there was an under-representation of participants with a number of exposure variables, including previous stillbirth . The same study found that prevalence estimates of exposures or outcomes may be biased due to self-selection, but that self-selection is not a problem in studies of exposure-outcome associations. We therefore argue that our findings can be generalised to other women pregnant after stillbirth. However, we cannot rule out that women with greater psychological distress after a previous stillbirth more often declined participation than women coping better after the incident. Neither can we rule out that women with mild psychological distress may have been less motivated to participate. Further, the data reported was collected over a relatively long time period (from 1999 to 2012) and changes in practice and support may have influenced our findings.
Due to ethical limitations regarding linking the MoBa data to the MBRN, the study was approved only to use a limited number of reference women instead of using the entire birth cohort as a reference. However, the prevalence of anxiety and depression among the two reference groups was similar to a control group of women without epilepsy in a previous MoBa sub-study .
Although the dropout rate was comparable to other studies of perinatal depression , missing data in the follow-up period is a concern regarding the ability of this study to make conclusions about mental health outcomes from 6 months to 3 years postpartum. As anxiety and/or depression in the subsequent pregnancy after stillbirth was more prevalent among drop-outs, anxiety and depression at follow-up is probably underestimated.
Unfortunately, we do not have reliable data regarding the prevalence of anxiety and depression before the occurrence of stillbirth. It would also be interesting to compare these women to their nonpregnant counterparts in order to assess whether the prevalence of anxiety and depression are indeed associated with being pregnant.
The estimates for anxiety and depression in our study relied on self-reporting using short-form versions of validated screening tools. Even though short-form versions affect the measurement precision, it often remains sufficient for epidemiological purposes . Psychiatric symptoms may be more correctly reported in an anonymous questionnaire than in a clinical interview  and questionnaire-based screening tools are often used to estimate the proportion at risk of having a mental disorder in a population. However, it is important to highlight that the screening tools are not suited to make formal diagnoses.
The sample size required that data on anxiety and depression were combined in the subgroup analyses on gestational age at stillbirth and inter-pregnancy interval, limiting the generalizability of these analyses.
As we did not want to increase the risk of type II errors, adjustments for multiple comparisons were not performed and findings with p-values ≥ 0.01 should be considered with some caution.
Our findings confirm that anxiety and depression is prevalent in the pregnancy following stillbirth. Hughes et al.  found that, compared with primi-gravida, women who were pregnant subsequent to a stillbirth had significantly higher levels of depression and state anxiety during pregnancy, but did not differ significantly from controls in the postpartum period and 12 months postpartum. Armstrong et al. similarily reported decreased levels of depressive symptoms and anxiety three and 8 months after the birth of a subsequently healthy infant among women with a history of perinatal death . This is in accordance with our findings. However, as the follow-up period in our study extends further, we found that the prevalence of anxiety and depression increased again by 36 months post-partum. This may indicate that the subsequent birth of a live-born baby is only temporarily relieving for the psychiatric morbidity associated with stillbirth. Blackmore et al. reported that depression and anxiety associated with a previous prenatal death show a persisting pattern up to 33 months after the birth of a healthy child . The latter study included mainly miscarriages, and only few stillbirths, and it is not specified whether the pregnancy is directly subsequent to the loss. It is therefore not comparable to ours.
Contrary to Hughes et al. , we did not find that becoming pregnant within 12 months after stillbirth significantly increases the risk of anxiety and/or depression in the subsequent pregnancy . One explanation for the discrepancy may be that the majority of the women in our study conceived within a year after the loss. A Swedish study demonstrated that mothers whose baby had died in utero were given different kinds of advice concerning a suitable time for a subsequent pregnancy. The best advice seems to be that the mother should wait until she, herself, feels ready .
In our study, early (23–30 weeks) compared with late stillbirth (> 30 weeks) was not significantly associated with anxiety and/or depression in the subsequent pregnancy. However, the p-value was just slightly above the significance level. While the duration of the pregnancy could be relevant for the risk of psychological distress after a loss , this is probably of diminishing importance in pregnancies that have advanced beyond 22 gestational weeks.
In accordance with findings by Rådestad et al. , we found that a previous stillbirth did not affect satisfaction with partner relationship. Relationship satisfaction decreased slightly in all study groups and the explanation may be that having a child is by itself associated with a decline in relationship satisfaction [37, 46, 47].
Anxiety and depression were more prevalent in the pregnancy following stillbirth compared with women with previous live births or previously nulliparous women. However, the prevalence declined after the birth of a live-born baby and was comparable to the reference groups by six to 18 months postpartum. After this time, depression and anxiety seemed to increase somewhat, particularly in the previous stillbirth group. Timing of the subsequent pregnancy after stillbirth was not associated with anxiety and depression in the third trimester and neither was gestational age at stillbirth. Having experienced stillbirth was not related to satisfaction with partner relationship in the subsequent pregnancy or after the birth of a live-born baby.
Implications from these findings are 1) that health care professionals in prenatal care should routinely screen for symptoms of depression and anxiety among women pregnant after stillbirth and 2) when timing a subsequent pregnancy, couples should be guided by their individual needs, taking maternal age and medical considerations into account.
Future research should evaluate the quality of care provided to reduce psychological distress in women pregnant after stillbirth. This field would also benefit from studies that take prior mental health problems into account and studies that focus on the psychological well-being of partners.

Department of Religion and Theology
Why study religion and theology at Bristol?
Hardly a day goes by when an understanding of religion wouldn't enhance our understanding of what is happening in the world.
Rupert Gethin, Professor of Buddhist Studies, Department of Religion & Theology.
Whether you believe in it or not, religion is one of the most defining qualities of humankind. It has shaped the lives of individuals and societies through the ages and today, preoccupies an estimated 90 per cent of the world's population. Yet it is famously one of the most divisive topics of conversation and avoided by many who shy away from the passionate arguments it inspires.
"Understanding the past and the present state of the world is not possible without some knowledge of religious traditions and their teachings," says Professor Gethin. "Whether it's fighting in the Middle East, the ordination of women bishops, or the many debates that surround issues of ethics and values in the institutions that govern our society, a deeper awareness of the religious beliefs and practices that have shaped societies across the world can only strengthen our sense of common humanity."
Studying religion and theology at Bristol doesn't require you to have a religious background. We actively encourage constructive debate and analytical critique across all denominations, including atheists and agnostics. The ability to think critically about the knowledge we acquire is essential to the process of embedding that knowledge. It is also crucial if, as individuals, we wish to play an active role in the many discussions that influence the politics and ideas that hold sway over our lives.
An education in religion and theology is also an education in history, language, literature, philosophy, ethics, archaeology, anthropology, sociology and psychology. Our approach is one that reflects upon both the challenging realities of the modern world and the complexities of the past, by exploring the rationale that underpins Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism and Chinese religion.
Our graduates and those who stay on to continue their studies with us are testament to the value of a Bristol education, for they leave us with an impressive skills set – the confidence to articulate their viewpoints, the ability to express themselves clearly in writing, the initiative to work independently on complex projects, and an appreciation of working collaboratively.
These are just a few of the qualities that we nurture, and they are qualities that will enrich your life long after you leave, whether that's to continue in academia or explore unanticipated opportunities.

A fully restored, 17th century building in a hamlet, alongside the river Rhone, in the Bugey region - property for sale France - in Provence, Languedoc-Roussillon, Côte d'Azur, Upper-Savoie - Patrice Besse Castles and Mansions of France is a Paris based real-estate agency specialised in the sale of Residences.
Generally considered as the natural frontier of the French departments of Jura and Ain, of which it is part, the Bugey region has constituted a province since the Gallo-Roman era. Courtesy of its strategic position between Geneva and Lyon, it was long fought over by Savoy and France, who annexed this territory in 1601. Very near to Belley, the historic capital of Bugey, this property is in the heart of the Rhone-Alpes region in the French department of Ain, 50 minutes from Chambéry and Aix-les-Bains, 90 minutes from Lyon, Geneva and Grenoble, 1 hour from Lyon-Saint-Exupéry airport, 45 minutes from Chambéry airport and 90 minutes from Geneva-Cointrin airport.
This long building stands amidst a small hamlet, composed of old houses, on a plot spanning more than a hectare bordered by the river Rhone. This robust, 2-storey, stone house is topped with a steeply sloping roof. The road, crossing the hamlet, runs alongside the fence enclosing the property. A wide gateway provides access to a paved courtyard. A little house, adjoining the neighbouring property, is used as a garage. On the other side of the building, near to the swimming pool, is an old outbuilding which once housed the hamlet's bread oven. It is now converted into a comfortable summer kitchen.
This building has been fully converted and restored. One section of the main house has been separated to form a small, self-contained house. The latter comprises a dining room with an open-plan kitchen, a shower room and a toilet on the ground floor as well as two bedrooms upstairs. It would make a superb caretaker's cottage or a small accommodation rental unit ideal for housing friends.
The external traditional appearance of the building gives way as of the entrance hall to a more modern, contemporary ambiance that sets the tone for the inside. The ground floor comprises the living rooms with the kitchen, the dining room and the lounge forming a warm, bright area. Some old decorative features such as the stone sink in the kitchen, the small alcoves in the walls, the dressed stone left exposed and the old wooden stairway bear witness to the authenticity of the premises. A wide archway marks the separation between the dining room and the lounge whilst keeping the area open-plan. A discreet little corridor leads to a large linen-laundry room and a bedroom, at a distance from the living areas, reached via a few steps.
A wine cellar, easily accessed from the outside, can also be used for storing tools.
The old wooden stairway goes up to a wide landing, with parquet flooring, which provides access to three bedrooms and a small lounge. The family bathroom is also on this level. The bedrooms still have a few old decorative features, providing a touch of authenticity. Old cupboard doors and stone fireplaces are discreetly associated with more contemporary fixtures and fittings. The small lounge or study adjoins the bedroom reached via the ground floor; these rooms could be turned into a master suite.
An old wooden door with moustache-shaped latches opens on to old wooden steps that go up to the attic space. This level is taken up by a vast room, with a sloping ceiling, illuminated via skylights. The old, highly wrought roofing framework has been left exposed. This area, full of charm, is in use as a study-library which could be extended by converting the rest of the space under the rafters, currently in use as an attic.
This small stone house, once home to the hamlet's bread oven, stands facing the main house. It is topped with a steeply-sloping roof covered with fish-scale tiles. Fully renovated and converted into a comfortable summer kitchen, it opens via wide picture windows on to the heated swimming pool which is flanked by a superb terrace that extends in front of the building.
Rustic but not shabby, this house comprises a delightful microcosm where lavender bushes and palm trees grow just a stone's throw from the Jura mountains. Its reassuring robustness has enabled it to come down through more than three centuries of existence before ambitious restoration works brought it in line with the 21st century by incorporating first-class home comforts. Although set in the middle of a hamlet, this residence is a permanent invitation to relax and the atmosphere exuded along the banks of the Rhone enables residents to recharge their batteries at all times. It will greatly appeal to enthusiasts of fishing and other river sports. Ideal as a holiday home, this home is so spacious that it could also accommodate a family seeking to settle in this area. Its self-contained section could possibly be rented as a furnished dwelling.


Emmerson Mnangagwa, Zimbabwe's former vice-president is reported to have returned to the country barely two weeks after he reportedly fled after his boss dismissed him.
President Mugabe kicked out Mnangagwa, a key member of the country's revolutionary struggle, in a move political watchers say was to pave the way for his wife, Grace Mugabe, to become president if he stepped down.
An unnamed aide of the former veep told the AFP news agency that the man known as the "crocodile" was back in the country. AFP said it could not independently verify the report.
Their comments were met with condemnation but barely 24 hours later, they announced a takeover – insisting it was not a coup – but that they were after criminal elements surrounding the president.
They have entered negotiations with Mugabe for a "dignified exit" but reports indicate that the 93-year-old leader is bent on staying as president till his party, ZANU-PF, go to Congress in December to decide on a new leader.
Mugabe is under house arrest according to the army but was allowed to attend a graduation ceremony in the capital Harare on Friday. He has yet to make any pronouncements on the army's actions.

Q: STR_TO_DATE to replace non english month names In my table on MySQL database I need update the column sDate ( Date ) with the value of column sHour ( varchar ).
I have tried this sql query :
UPDATE IGNORE `doTable`
SET `sDate` = STR_TO_DATE(`sHour`, '%d-%M-%Y')
WHERE
    `sDate` IS NULL;

And the output is :
+-----------+------------+
| sHour     | sDate      |
+-----------+------------+
| 01-ago-18 | NULL       |
| 01-apr-18 | 2018-04-01 |
| 01-feb-18 | 2018-02-01 |
| 01-gen-18 | NULL       |
| 01-giu-18 | NULL       |
| 01-mar-18 | 2018-03-01 |
| 01-nov-18 | 2018-11-01 |
| 01-ott-18 | NULL       |
| 01-set-18 | NULL       |
| 02-ago-18 | NULL       |
+-----------+------------+
10 rows in set

The problem is when the row sHour not contains the Month name in english ( en_US ).
For example the row :
+-----------+------------+
| sHour     | sDate      |
+-----------+------------+
| 01-ago-18 | NULL       |
+-----------+------------+

Is not update because the Month name ( first three letters ) is ago ( it_IT ) and not aug ( en_US ).
Instead the row :
+-----------+------------+
| sHour     | sDate      |
+-----------+------------+
| 01-apr-18 | 2018-04-01 |
+-----------+------------+

Is update because the Month name -apr- ( first three letters ) coincides on Italian and English language.
I have tried withous success this :
SET lc_time_names = 'it_IT';

How to do resolve this ?

A: Try this in MYSQL.
I hope I was helpful.

The present issue of Osmanlı Bilimi Araştırmaları (Studies in Ottoman Science) is presented to Professor Dr. ing. Atilla Bir in recognition of his oeuvre in history of technology on the occasion of his retirement from the university in 2008.
Born in Izmir in 1941, A.Bir received his BS and MS degrees in electrical engineering from the Technische Hochschule - Karlsruhe in 1966. He joined the Istanbul Technical University Faculty of Electrical Engineering in 1970 and started researching on electronic control systems. His PhD thesis was on the deterministic and probabilistic prediction in control systems (1975). Soon, he became interested in history of mechanics and, besides producing popular articles on the hydraulic devices designed by medieval Islamic mechanicians, he published the Kitab al-Hiyal of Banu Musa Bin Shakir (9th c.), where he applied modern knowledge of system and control engineering to the functioning of mechanical devices.
Part of Professor Bir's research work focused on the transliteration and the technical account of works by Turkish astronomers such as Taqi al-Din's (16th c.) and Ahmet Ziya Akbulut (early 20th c.) dealing with the construction and the use of quadrants, sundials and mechanical clocks. His preoccupation with the physics of bows and arrows led him to calculate a mathematical model for the shooting of Turkish reflex bows. He located the norias which were in use in Anatolia in the past and studied their mechanism. His recent work is on the surviving windmills of Anatolia.
Professor Bir's intensive lecturing on system and control engineering did not prevent him to teach history of technology and scientific instruments. The undergraduate and graduate students of the Department of History of Science, Istanbul University profited much from his interesting lectures. He also kindly offered his erudition, experience and assistance not only to the MSC and PhD students preparing theses, but to the team of historians of science in Istanbul University. Professor Bir's contributions to Osmanlı Bilimi Araştırmaları are twofold: While gladly and readily sending his original research articles to the journal for publication, he worked as an outstanding and meticulous referee. The editorial board of the journal is much indebted to him for his continuous support.
As a scholar specialised in control engineering and keenly interested in history, Professor Atilla Bir largely contributed to the study of mechanical devices used in Asia Minor in medieval times and thereafter. We wish him happy retirement and hope that he will enthusiastically continue to invest his talents in in history of science and technology in the coming years.

The Niedermairhof, a bed and breakfast (B&B) at Brunico in South Tyrol has now thoughtfully restored the old manor house, blending tradition with modern style and now proudly presents eight spacious deluxe rooms. Each room in our Boutique B&B has been individually decorated and we have paid minute attention to preserve old structures while introducing contemporary elements. We set out to create rooms which each represent a special part of the estate.
Spend an inspiring holiday in a homely yet lavish surrounding and savour a genuine home-made breakfast. The lovely peace and quiet of the house itself with its thick walls and the garden will be sure to reverberate during your stay and long after. You are free to use our meeting room for a stimulating business or learning surrounding. An elevator and barrier-free rooms allow you to move easily throughout the house.
In der Kehr is the first room to be lit up by the morning sun. The bedroom and the living area are separated with an elegantly designed piece of furniture. The bathroom has a spacious two-person bathtub, a luxury shower, toilet and bidet.
This room is named after a nearby farm meadow, which has inspired us to choose flowery bathroom tiles and vibrant upholstery.
Weiher has been named after our nearby lake and its protected natural habitat. The highlight of this spacious double bedroom is its impressive aquarium separating the bathroom and the living area.
Watch the colourful fish while in the luxury raindance shower or as you relax in the living area, where old roof beams have been tastefully combined with new elements. A good place to immerse yourself and relax.

A roof beam marks the transition between the bedroom and the living room. The bathroom boasts an oversize shower and a bathtub for two. The toilet and bidet are found in the adjacent room.
This room explores the space between the urban and the rural, between earth and air. An inspiring subject, which has led to our rare choice of tiles and furniture.
We have named this 40-square-metre double bed room after the nearby vicarage. The private balcony has a stunning view of the village church, surrounded by fields and mountains. The antique tiled stove will give you a warm welcome as you enter the room. Frescoes have adorned these walls for centuries and have been lovingly restored.
The bright room opens onto a spacious bathroom with a shower, luxury bathtub and bidet. Tasteful sitting arrangements and furniture make for pleasant reading and relaxing hours.
Tafel is a modern, open-plan junior suite. A roof beam marks the transition between the living and the bedroom area. You can watch the starry night sky through the oversize roof window. The generous bathroom with an oversize shower also boasts a free-standing bathtub for two. This double room plays with old and new elements. Antique furniture and contemporary objects have been matched with designer classics. Truly exciting design.
Waldile is a 40-square-metre double bedroom. The bathroom with its striking rain shower and bidet is fully accessible. The room has been designed by local artisan Ingrid Canins. It recalls one of our meadows, part of a nature reserve area, and its amazing variety of flowers. Discovering how antiques have been lovingly restored and blended with modern comfort might leave you lost in wonder. You are inspired to hunt for more surprises in the separate sitting room.
The large windows and two balcony doors immerse this south-faced bedroom in warm sunlight during morning hours. The bedroom and the living area have been connected with a creative piece of furniture.

We are a young family of four, whose dream it was to breathe new life into our ancestral home, the historic mansion Niedermairhof in Brunico. And here we are, adding another chapter to its inspiring memoirs. We have tried our best to preserve the flair of days gone by that roams the airy hallways while coupling it with extravagant contemporary features and luxurious treats for the eyes and soul. We have a soft spot for the arts, be it painting, sculpture or music. We read, talk and daydream by the pond. We are curious by nature, and appreciate a chat with our friends and guests over a glass of homemade juice. And we simply enjoy sharing all this with our kids. This is what took us down the road to open a B&B, allowing some family time in the afternoon and evening.

Statistical Review: San Jose State #17
David Fales was the most productive passer in college football (0.3 points more than Nick Florence). He drops to 11th in efficiency per play when you adjust for schedule, but all 10 quarterbacks ahead of him were playing on elite offenses in BCS programs. He completed an astounding 73% of his passes on 3rd and long, 3 percentage points better than any quarterback with at least 100 attempts. Only seven players gained 10 yards more often on pass plays (including sacks) than no or negative yards. The second best was Case McCoy with a 1.13 10 to 0 ratio. Fales had a 1.28 10 to 0 ratio. He did not generate a ton of big pass plays and threw INTs on 2% of passes (almost all of which were early downs), but otherwise he was arguably the best passer in college football.
Which was important for San Jose State, because while Fales was the most productive passer in college football, the run game was abysmal. Before adjusting for schedule, they were 113th in yards/rush, gained no yards 23.1% of carries, 111th nationally, and 114th in EPA/rush. Adjusting for schedule and they drop a few spots in each category. It was the biggest run/pass imbalance in college football, yet, I assume in response to deep, passionate self-loathing, they ran the ball 49% of the time.
The defense was very good against the schedule they faced, but much less impressive when you adjust for schedule. They faced three competent offenses. They held Stanford to 20 (before Stanford figured out what they were doing offensively), but Utah State and Louisiana Tech topped 40. San Diego State added 34.
San Jose State was a relatively unimpressive 30th in points per possession and 50th in EP3+. It's impossible to know from this perspective if they could have improved on this by handing the reins over more to Fales. No doubt that will happen in 2013 unless Caragher feels the need to put his stamp on the program immediately. Fales will have all of his favorite targets back and the know-how to get them the ball.
The Spartans get another shot at Stanford, and though they almost pulled off the upset last year this should be a better team, and the game at Nevada should make Spartan fans nervous as they have an offense that could hang a big number in a hurry.

The Long-Neglected 16GB iPod Touch Gets A Camera And A Price Cut
Jun 27, 2014, 12:00am
While it might surprise some that the iPod touch is still trundling along, the entire lineup has gotten a significant price cut today — and the lowest-end version picked up a fancy new camera and a colour spectrum.
The 16GB iPod touch now costs $249 in Australia and comes in pink, yellow, blue and grey in addition to the silver that existed before. It's also added a 5MP rear camera, where previously it had none. The rest of the lineup — the 32GB and 64GB iPod touch — now cost $299 and $349 respectively.
That's about it for upgrades though; it has the same three-year-old A5 processor, middling RAM and other ho-hum specs. That's OK though! The iPod touch is the perfect device for kids who aren't old enough for phones but ARE old enough for Instagram and I dunno maybe Where's My Water? You know, kid things, that don't demand a full arsenal of computing power but do benefit from a pink shell. [Apple]

Keeping Pupils Warm this Winter
Pupils at Nicholas Hawksmoor Primary School in Towcester will be as warm as toast this winter thanks to a new energy efficient heating system installed by Plumb-Line of Northampton.
We installed four new high efficiency condensing gas boilers, hot water heaters and new radiators throughout the school. The radiators have a low surface temperature and special pencil-proof grilles, so are much safer for the children.
Laura Kerrison, School Business Manager at Nicholas Hawksmoor School said: "We are absolutely delighted with the new heating system. Although we haven't had the full onset of winter yet, we now have consistent heat throughout the school. It's more comfortable all round for everybody and we have much better control over the heat."
The system was funded by a grant from the Department for Education as part of their drive for more energy efficiency and better value for money for schools. Laura added: "We had to write a detailed specification to apply for the funding and Plumb-Line were very helpful in advising us on what we needed and supplying us with all the information. Once the funding was approved we had a very short time frame in which to complete the project. This was compounded by our delay in placing the order. Plumb-Line were fantastic and completed all the hot water heaters, radiators, pipework and building work in the last four weeks of the summer holidays, tidying everything up before the children returned. They then completed the boiler installations and testing soon after."
Laura concluded: "Not only is the school much more comfortable, this will help us to maintain our Ecoschool Standards and we are expecting our energy bills to decrease too."

IRS rules exclude nonprofits from utilizing solar tax benefits because of their tax exempt status. Using Collective Sun proprietary funding models, a nonprofit can access financial incentives while guaranteeing the least expensive funding options available.
CollectiveSun's innovative financing model applies tax credits that reduce the cost of your any nonprofit or tax exempt organizations nonprofit's solar project by 15%!
Churches, synagogues, mosques and all faith based organizations.
Municipalities including schools, civil, fire, police, library and transitional housing.
Hospitals, food banks and other community service organizations.
Arts & culture organizations, environmental organizations, veterans organizations.
Animal shelters, youth organizations, food banks.
HOA's, golf, tennis, yacht and sports clubs.
A small group of supporters from the nonprofit provide a loan (an unsecured note) to the nonprofit. The nonprofit uses this loan to pay for the pre funded PPA (85% of the installer cost, after the 15% has been applied). "Prefunded" PPAs are funded by community members who profit from the transaction, thereby keeping dollars in the community.
Going to your community and using the CollectiveSun CrowdLending platform means your nonprofit will pay substantially less and your community members are the ones that will benefit. A bank loan is one method to finance solar, along with donations, cash reserves, PACE loan and the CollectiveSun CrowdLending platform.Banks typically categorize nonprofits as "risky" investments and to mitigate the perceived risk, they attach exceptionally high interest rates to the transaction.
CollectiveSun believes there are better ways to fund solar projects than cannibalizing reserves or asking for yet another round of donations. Instead, CollectiveSun operates a proprietary funding platform that allows nonprofits to offer an investment to their supporters that pays back with interest.
CollectiveSun understands all nonprofits are unique which is why each and every crowdlending campaign is unique. To oversee and make sure each campaign is successful, CollectiveSun assigns a dedicated campaign manager to each project. Your manager provides you with expertise, materials, best practices, and support throughout your entire community driven campaign.

Nevada Legislature tackles 'squatter issue' with new laws
Bill McIntosh
Property Perspective
During the 78th (2015) Session of the Nevada Legislature, Assembly Bill (AB) 386 was passed and became effective on Oct. 1.
The lawyer for the Nevada Association of Realtors (NVAR) identified this bill as the "Squatter Issue."
When I lived in South Lake Tahoe there was an ongoing minor squatter issue. Stories were told of the unauthorized use of remote cabins with a door or window left unlocked during winter months. One owner returned to Tahoe early in the spring to find smoke exiting his chimney, and a squatter inside taking a tub bath.
In response to the increasing non-approved use of vacant homes in Nevada during the decline in real estate values, combined with the great recession, the Nevada Legislature in 2009 passed AB 286 that made a person, who had been given a warning by the owner, guilty of a misdemeanor if they remain on a property. Some said at the time that more legislation would be needed given the large number of empty homes.
On July 18, 2014 KTNV, Action News, reported the following under the heading "Imagine returning home to find a complete stranger has moved in." In October of 2013 a Las Vegas home owner returned to his property to find strangers in his home who had changed the locks. The strangers presented a fake lease. The owner called the police, but the officers told the home owner they do not get involved in landlord-tenant issues. In November, after a court fight, the squatters were evicted.
AB 386 attempts to carve out a detailed process by which a squatter can be removed from a dwelling by, among other things, creating two new criminal offenses called "housebreaking" for breaking into an uninhabited dwelling, and "unlawful occupancy" for knowingly residing in a home without permission of the owner.
However, sometimes the occupant is a "tenant through scam." The occupant has paid rent but to a person who is not the owner of the vacant property. Courts now have the discretion to give such occupants up to 30 days to vacate. The "squatter issue" is complicated and the lawyer for NVAR in her One Minute Analysis says in bold print "Keep in mind there are so many variations included in this bill it is impossible to summarize what would be applicable in every scenario."
Homes in some stage of foreclosure in Nevada have declined by a third over the past year. AB 386, the improving economy, and the recognition that empty homes can and do attract squatters, will control this problem.
