Conjunctivitis in children
Younger babies have conjunctivitis very often. Scientists have more than a hundred reasons that lead to its development. Conjunctivitis is considered quite a serious disease. With late treatment, the baby may have dangerous complications.
What is it?
Conjunctivitis is a disease that is included in the international classification of the disease ICD-10. This disease affects both eyes more often. In about a third of cases, inflammation can only be unilateral. In the statistics of diseases conjunctivitis occupies a leading place among other diseases of the eye and visual apparatus.
This disease is caused by inflammation of the mucous membrane of the eye. After exposure to external factors, inflammation starts in the eye, so the disease begins. The disease very quickly captures the entire mucous membrane.
In more severe cases, if the correct treatment was not prescribed, the process may even go into the inner sphere of the eye or cause inflammation in the brain.
Most often, the disease is quite mild. Purulent conjunctivitis, accompanied by the expiration of pus from the eye, are much less common. Often they are caused by bacteria. Much less often the purulent version of the disease is provoked by viruses.
Conjunctivitis can be caused by a variety of external agents.. Modern science divides all the factors that trigger the disease into several categories:
- Bacterial. In this case, the source of the disease are harmful bacteria. Getting on the mucous membrane of the eye, they cause severe inflammation. Bacterial conjunctivitis is quite difficult. Babies may even have purulent variants of the course of the disease. For treatment requires the appointment of special antibacterial agents.
- Viral. Ranked first in frequency among other variants of conjunctivitis. There are every second child who turns to the doctor with suspected inflammation of the mucous membrane of the eye. The disease often proceeds without pus. This variant is characterized by a strong tearing. On average, the disease lasts 10-14 days. The treatment requires the appointment of special antiviral drugs in the form of drops for the eyes, and in severe cases even tablets.
- Allergic. If the child has allergies, conjunctivitis is also quite common. In this case, the baby has all the signs of an allergic reaction: the body temperature rises, itchy elements appear on the skin, and congestion may occur during breathing. The behavior of the child is changing. Kids become less active, drowsy. Younger children may be capricious and refuse to eat.
- Traumatic. A child may inadvertently injure himself in ordinary daily life. Kids up to three years old are actively learning the world. Taste or touch everything - their favorite activities. If a foreign substance enters the eye, damage to the mucous membrane may occur and severe inflammation begins. In this case, on an emergency basis, you need to show the child to an ophthalmologist.
- Chemical. If various liquids or substances enter the eye, inflammation may also begin. The most common cause of chemical conjunctivitis is the ingress of household chemicals. In some babies, such inflammation may occur after bathing with shampoo. Shower gel or gel, getting into the eyes, can provoke conjunctivitis.
- Conjunctivitis, which are found in other diseases. Most often they occur in babies with chronic inflammatory diseases of the ear. Exacerbation of otitis, sinusitis and other diseases of the upper respiratory tract provokes inflammation in the mucous membrane of the eye. This is due to the close proximity of the organs to each other, as well as blood supply from the same blood vessels. In such cases, before treating conjunctivitis, the exacerbation of a chronic disease that caused the inflammatory process should be cured first.
- Congenital conjunctivitis. It is quite rare. In this case, the baby is infected in the womb, from the mother. If a pregnant woman gets a viral or bacterial infection during pregnancy, she can easily infect her baby. Viruses and bacteria are of very small size. They easily penetrate the placenta and are quickly spread through the bloodstream throughout the child's body. Once on the mucous membrane of the eye, they also cause conjunctivitis.
Stages of the disease
In any inflammatory process, certain stages are successively replaced:
- Hitting a factor provocateur on the mucous membrane of the eye. This can happen in several ways. Most often with direct contact or with blood flow. Getting on the mucous membrane, the foreign agent acts on the cells and triggers inflammation.
- The development of the main clinical symptoms of the disease. The cells of the immune system take an active part in this. After receiving a signal that an alien agent has entered the body, they quickly start their work. By discarding biologically active substances, cells of immune protection try to limit the process only in the cavity of the eye, preventing spread throughout the body. Most conjunctivitis occurs in follicular form, without dangerous complications.
- The recovery process. During this period, all clinical manifestations of the disease gradually begin to fade. Symptoms of inflammation are erased, and the baby is slowly recovering. However, this variant of the course of the disease is characteristic only with favorable development of the disease. Impaired babies or children with low immunity may experience dangerous complications. In order to prevent this, the appointment of special medications is required at the first and second stages.
The time from the moment the bacteria or virus enters the body until the development of the main symptoms of the disease can be different. It depends on which pathogen has become the source of the disease. For most bacterial conjunctivitis incubation period lasts 7-10 days. In some cases, even up to two weeks.
In case of viral variants of the disease, the incubation period is, as a rule, 5-7 days. After this time, the baby becomes contagious, and the disease is easily transmitted from a sick child to a healthy one. Viruses are very small in size and easily spread. If the children attend kindergarten or attend school, then the probability of becoming infected becomes much greater. In crowded teams, doctors note a marked increase in the incidence of conjunctivitis.
How to recognize: the first signs and symptoms
After the incubation period, the second stage of the disease begins. At this time, the disease is already apparent and has all the characteristic symptoms.. Conjunctivitis usually presents with the following symptoms:
- Tearing. The most vivid and classic sign. It occurs in 98% of cases of children.Tearing bothers the baby throughout the day. It decreases slightly at night and after instillation of drops. In the first three days, tearing can be intolerable. As a rule, discharge from the eye is bright. In some cases, it may be bloody or yellow.
- Red eyes. Vessels located on the surface of the eyeball, turn red and become very noticeable when viewed. In children with severe disease redness can be very pronounced. Eyes look tired. In severe cases, the entire white space of the eye around the iris turns red.
- Photophobia. Due to inflammation on the mucous membrane, this rather unpleasant symptom appears. Baby can not open his eyes in the daytime. Bright rays of light cause pain in a child and increase tearing. At night, or when shading a room, babies feel much better.
- Discharge of pus. This feature is optional. Most often it occurs in babies with bacterial conjunctivitis. As a rule, both eyes are affected simultaneously. The discharge of pus occurs throughout the day. In this case, the mandatory appointment of antibacterial drops for the eyes. In severe cases of the disease, doctors may prescribe antibiotics in pills or even injections.
- Increased body temperature. With a mild course of the disease, it increases to 37-37.5 degrees. In more severe cases or when the first complications appear, the temperature rises to 38-39 degrees. The baby's state of health worsens, weakness increases. Children become more capricious, try not to open their eyes. Night and daytime sleep bring temporary relief.
- Feeling of a foreign object or "sand" in the eyes. It is also an important diagnostic sign of conjunctivitis. It occurs in more than 80% of cases.
- Manifestations of an allergic reaction. Occur in case of allergies. In children, the temperature rises, it can be a runny nose or stuffiness when breathing. Children with atopic dermatitis appear itchy red elements on the skin. The child's well-being is getting worse. The baby becomes sluggish, eats badly.
Forms of the disease
A variety of options for the disease can be a huge variety. If the process originated for the first time, then it is called acute. This is the very first case of a particular disease in life. If, after treatment, the disease reappears after some time, then this process is called already chronic.
As a rule, conjunctivitis quite often appear again and again. Exacerbation of the disease in the chronic variant of the disease is called a recurrent process. Conjunctivitis can recur very often. For many babies under 7 years old, exacerbations can occur every year.
Most often conjunctivitis has an infectious cause. Viruses and bacteria top the list of pathogens in the eyes.
However, conjunctivitis may also be chlamydia or fungal of nature. Such variants of the disease occur in weakened children or children with immunodeficiencies.
In babies with low immunity or chronic diseases of internal organs, conjunctivitis may be permanent and protracted. Often, inflammation also occurs within the upper eyelid, making treatment much more difficult.
Conjunctivitis has a fairly vivid clinical manifestations. To confuse it with other inflammatory diseases of the eye is quite difficult. However, not all babies will have the disease in the classic scenario. Sometimes doctors use auxiliary methods to make a diagnosis.
If the parents notice that the baby has severe tearing or redness of the eye, the child should be taken to an ophthalmologist.Only a doctor with the help of special lamps and devices can make a diagnosis and prescribe the correct treatment.
To identify the causative agent, ophthalmologists may prescribe special laboratory tests. The most common and routine test is a complete blood count. It can show how difficult the disease is and also reveal the cause of the disease. By blood analysis, you can determine which conjunctivitis has occurred - viral or bacterial.
In cases where the disease is not quite normal, additional tests are required. Blood sampling for the determination of antibodies to various infections is also often used in pediatric ophthalmology. With this test, you can identify chlamydia, protozoa and even fungi.
In babies in the early stages of the disease, you can take a tear fluid or discharge from the eye for analysis. In the laboratory, conduct research on the material and determine the cause of the disease.
With bakposeva can not only establish the causative agent of the disease, but also to determine the sensitivity to antibiotics. This will help in the appointment of more effective treatment.
Drug therapy for conjunctivitis is prescribed by an ophthalmologist. After examining the child and conducting additional research, he chooses the necessary regimen and combination of drugs.
If the disease is bacterial, the doctor will definitely recommend antibiotics. Among the most common and frequently used drugs are the following:
- «Albucid». It is used in the treatment of conjunctivitis almost from birth. The drug kills various forms of bacteria, including active against staphylococci and streptococci.
- «Levomycetin». Refers to antibacterial agents. It is used to treat bacterial forms of conjunctivitis. It is often prescribed for the discharge of pus or the onset of complications.
- "Furacilin". Suitable for processing and rinsing eyes. Divorced in warm water. The affected eyes are treated with a weak solution 3-4 times a day. It has a detrimental effect on many microorganisms. It has a disinfecting effect.
- «Miramistin». It is a good antiseptic to kill pathogens. It is used to treat acute inflammatory processes, as well as to eliminate the symptoms of exacerbation of chronic. Relatively rarely causes adverse reactions.
- Tetracycline ointment. It is a classic in the treatment of infectious conjunctivitis. Appointed in the acute period of the disease. The use of tetracycline ointment helps to get rid of suppuration, reduces eye redness and prevents the development of possible adverse complications.
Treatment of conjunctivitis is complex and requires the appointment of several drugs. In light variants of the course of the disease, homeopathy may be prescribed. Homeopathic medicines can be used to reduce inflammation (to strengthen the immune system and the rapid recovery of the child's body).
Is taking antibiotics necessary?
Antibiotic prescription is indicated in cases when various bacteria have caused the disease. All bacterial cells are sensitive to antibacterial drugs. Currently, all medicines that have a detrimental effect on bacteria are available in a variety of dosage forms. When treating conjunctivitis, ophthalmologists may prescribe antibiotics in drops or tablets. Rarely appointed ointment.
The use of antibacterial drops is more convenient. Mom can easily use them at home. A course of 7-10 days is usually assigned. In more severe cases, doctors can extend the period to two weeks.
In difficult cases, it is allowed to use a combination of antibacterial agents or choose a drug with a broad spectrum of action.
For how to dig the drug in the eyes of a child, see the following video.
Only a doctor should prescribe an antibiotic. Independent use of drugs of such action is highly undesirable. If antibacterial agents are used improperly, instead of a positive effect and recovery, dangerous complications can occur, and numerous side effects of the drugs can appear.
Cure conjunctivitis in home conditions and without the use of antibiotics is quite possible. It all depends on the cause of the disease. For viral conjunctivitis, antibiotics are not required. After consultation with an ophthalmologist, babies with a slight variant of the disease can be treated at home (under the supervision of a physician).
Infants and newborns are most often hospitalized in the hospital. In such babies, the immune system is still not very effective. This can lead to dangerous complications. The provision of qualified medical care allows you to speed up recovery and prevent the transition of the acute process to the chronic form.
How many days on average are treated?
The duration of conjunctivitis treatment depends on the cause of the disease.
On average, all viral diseases of the eye go away in 5-7 days. For bacterial conjunctivitis characterized by a longer period. Usually the time of illness is 7-10 days. All inflammatory processes caused by fungal flora, take a long time. In some cases, the disease develops during the month.
If a child is weakened or has any chronic diseases of other internal organs, then conjunctivitis may take longer. In weakened children and babies with a reduced level of immunity, the treatment of inflammatory eye disease may take up to a month.
Is it possible to walk?
In the midst of the disease should not go out. It is better to wait a few days to improve well-being. If a child has a fever or pronounced tearing, walking on the street is dangerous enough. The inflamed mucosa is very sensitive to various irritations. The sun's rays can damage the eyes, increase tearing.
After the inflammation subsides, babies can go out. In the first days after the acute period of the disease is better to use sunglasses. For babies or newborns during walks, a pram with a large sun visor is perfect. If the walk with the baby takes place in the summer, be sure to wear a hat with wide brim. Baseball caps that give shade to your face and protect your eyes from bright sunshine will do.
Is it possible to swim?
In the acute period of the disease, babies are not recommended to swim. Especially if the child has a high fever.
When inflammation decreases, babies can swim again. Long stay in the water is not recommended:
- For kids up to five years is enough hygienic bath.
- Older kids better to choose a swim in the shower.
Conjunctivitis in the presence of complications is a rather dangerous disease. Babies may suffer vision. In some cases, after conjunctivitis, there are complications in color perception. In this state, kids confuse colors, do not perceive all the shades of the palette. However, this outcome is quite rare.
The most frequent complications of conjunctivitis include the transition process in a relapsing chronic form or a protracted version of the disease. In this case, the kids need a constant prescription of medicines to eliminate unpleasant symptoms.
Suppuration is also one of the most frequent complications of conjunctivitis. In this case, the disease first proceeds in a rather mild form.
Preventive measures help largely prevent the development of inflammatory eye diseases.Infectious conjunctivitis is transmitted from a sick child to a healthy very quickly. In order not to get infected, it is necessary to remember about important preventive measures:
- Use only your own towels. In no case can not wipe the face of foreign textile products. Pathogenic microorganisms often accumulate on the tissue. In a warm and moist bathroom, they multiply very quickly. While wiping the face, bacteria easily penetrate the mucous membrane of the eye and cause inflammation.
- Perform regular hygiene procedures for the eyes. This is especially true for newborns and infants. Wipe your eyes with cotton pads dipped in warm boiled water, you need every morning and before bedtime. If eye irritation or redness occurs, seek medical attention immediately.
- Strengthen immunity. Toddlers who have strong immune defenses are less susceptible to various inflammatory diseases. Proper nutrition, good sleep and fresh air significantly strengthen the immune system and make babies more resistant to various infectious diseases.
- Do not allow mass infection. If a child attends kindergarten or school, when an outbreak of conjunctivitis occurs, it is necessary to protect the baby from visiting. Usually the duration of forced quarantine is 7-10 days.
Performing all preventive measures will help prevent disease. However, it should be remembered that when a baby has tearing or redness of the eye, treat it in home conditions it does not follow. First show the child to an ophthalmologist. He will prescribe the correct therapy, which will help the baby recover quickly. This will prevent the transition from acute to chronic.

LoveLove. It's told to be an unconditional joy. But how can something that's meant to bring such joy do so much pain? Think about it. You've fallen inlove with the most perfect person you could ever hope to meet. But there are problems. You are unexperienced in love. They are scared of regection. There are always so many different things that can put pressure on the love you have for them. There may be distance, age gap, pressure, family and/or friends dislike and/or hate towards your loved one, or the other way around.
I was talking with a friend today. About Love. About my love. About my fear. About my feelings. And most of all, about how to cope. My friend told me that I was trying to rationalize my feelings. That by finding the positive and negatives in my situation I was trying to change my feelings through logic. To do so is impossible.
Sure you may have problems. Sure you may get hurt. You may even feel that your love is not enough to give to them. But it is. If they do not return y
Playground FeelingsSitting at a bench overlooking the beautiful scene surrounding me, I can't help but let the lone tear roll down my cheek. The young children exploring all the different parts of the playground, joy evident in their smiles and eyes. I see young families playing with their children. Pushing them on the swing, helping them climb up to the top of the slide.
I never got to experience the joy that came from knowing someone would help me up when I fell over. Nor did I feel the hand of a loved one on my back, puching the swing higher. My parents were work-a-holics. My aunt always said 'that's what killed them'. When I was about seven I went to the park for my first time. Alone though. My parents let me go out on my own at a very young age. I used to sit here on the same bench I'm sitting on now, 20 years later.
Now I watch as my husband pushes our two-year-old daughter, Isabel, on the swing. She giggles as he pushes her higher and higher. 'I'm flying!' I hear her say in delight.

'Just where do you think you're off to?' Gimli asks me.
'Not this time. This time you must stay Gimli.' I reply. If I make them stay with the men of Rohan they are less likely to be killed and I don't have to worry about them and Seloriel. Gimli simply grumbles as a reply.
'Have you learned nothing of the stubbornness of Dwarves?' Legolas asks coming up on the otherside of me with his horse packed.
'You might as well accept it. We're going with you, laddie' Gimli states. I sigh. Perfect, now I have three friends who are coming with me to almost certain death. Not what I wanted.
'Are you ready to go Aragorn?' Gimli asks.
'Almost, I just have to wait for one thing' I reply, referring to Seloriel.
'And what might that be, Aragorn?' I hear a soft voice ask from behind me, making Gimli and I jump.
'What have I told you about doing that? Are you trying to scare me to death?' I ask her.

~~~~A Mysterious Arrival~~~~
The doom of men is near. All that they took for granted will be lost. And so much life will be spent. All of this because of the naivety of men. They did not think of how important alliances with other kingdoms and other beings could be. They did not look towards the future, only towards their own personal joy at the time.
All of this is changing as we stand with the men and women of Rohan preparing for battle. The people of Gondor will have aid. The men of Rohan will make sure of it.
Two mysterious figures walk towards the King's tent. They are both wearing black cloaks with hoods so I can not tell of their appearances. One has the figure of a man, the other a female. I believe them to be elves, simply by their clothing. Their clothes seem to be very expensive silk, worn only be elvish royalty. It must be Lord Elrond and presumably his daughter, Arwen. But the female is not of the same stature as Arwen, she is slightly short

'Mother, can I go out into the woods again? I won't go far!' a young elven boy pleaded.
'But of course, Legolas. But do remember, no hunting, and take the knife your father left you encase you get into any trouble' his mother, Larana, replied. Her beautiful blonde hair swaying as she turned to look at her eight year old child, pride evident in her eyes.
Legolas grinned joyfully at his mother's answer and picked up the small sword that was only just too large to be called a dagger and ran out the door.
He played in the woods for hours on end. Climbing trees and tracking animals. He even tried to practice his sword work. He had always been better with a bow and arrow than with a sword, but he found that after his father had passed away, leaving him both archery weapons and swords, it would be worthwhile to try and learn both crafts.

A study led by the Mayo Clinic published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings, found that the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is higher in people with type 1 diabetes, blood clotting disorders, or inflammatory bowel disease.
Image Credit: Puwadol Jaturawutthichai / Shutterstock.com
In addition, patients with RA have a higher chance of heart disease, clots within blood vessels, and sleep apnea. This should prompt patients and their doctors to look for RA in patients with any of the preceding conditions and to screen RA patients for cardiovascular disease and sleep apnea if relevant symptoms occur.
The study is based on data from the Mayo Clinic Biobank, which carries a vast array of blood and blood derivative samples, as well as health information on 74 types of illness with the age of onset for each. The data is all from volunteers, including Mayo Clinic patients. The information is all self-reported.
Earlier studies have shown that patients with RA fare worse when they also have other coexisting diseases, in terms of physical disability, functional ability, quality of life, and death rate. The current study builds on earlier findings with a larger database and a greater depth of information.
RA is a chronic inflammatory condition, found in about 1.3 million American adults. The risk in women is double or triple of that in men. It has both systemic and joint manifestations: it causes not only arthritis but also inflammation of the lungs, the heart, and the blood vessels.
The damage caused in all these structures is due to the inflammatory reaction rather than ordinary wear and tear. RA is an autoimmune disease caused by an immune attack by the body on its own tissues.
The inflammation in the joint primarily affects the synovium, the smooth lining of the joint cavity and bone ends, that produces lubricating fluid. As a result, the synovium swells and becomes painful, leading to joint stiffness. The small hand and foot joints are most frequently involved, with a symmetrical pattern. The eventual outcome with severe or inadequately controlled RA may be the erosion of the joints and deformity.
Systemic findings include fatigue, weight loss, anemia, and inflammation of the lungs and blood vessels. Most patients are diagnosed after early adulthood, in their forties or fifties. The lung may become fibrosed, causing chest pain and shortness of breath. Pericarditis, or inflammation of the heart’s covering, is another cause of chest pain. Dryness of the eyes occurs in Sjogren’s syndrome and scleritis, both frequent accompaniments of RA.
Vasculitis is an autoimmune condition that is also commonly found to occur in RA. It occurs due to inflammation of the walls of the blood vessels, causing them to weaken and bulge, forming an aneurysm, or become scarred and narrowed.
In some patients, it causes painful inflammation of the eyeball, or scleritis, threatening vision. In others, inflammation within the arteries can precipitate blood clots, or ischemia (cutting the blood supply) to vital organs, which may endanger life. Heart attacks and strokes are also more common in RA patients.
The disease runs a chronic course, with flare-ups and remissions (symptom-free periods) but is not curable.
The study and its findings
The study was carried out with over 3200 patients, including 821 newly diagnosed RA patients (from January 2009 to February 2018), and about 2500 controls. The researchers looked for associations between disease conditions with RA.
They found that certain autoimmune disorders and seizure conditions seem to increase the risk of developing RA.
We found that comorbidities accumulate in an accelerated fashion after diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. Heart disease and other conditions may develop as a result of rheumatoid arthritis.”
Vanessa Kronzer, corresponding author
Altogether, they found 11 disease conditions that were linked to RA. Blood clots were more common in patients who would later be diagnosed with RA. This indicates that the body is already in a state of inflammation within the body, even before RA becomes obvious clinically. A similar trend was seen with type 1 diabetes, which was present to an increased extent in patients who would later develop RA.
The researchers point out that it is important to look for RA in patients who are diagnosed with autoimmune conditions, in light of these and similar findings. Conversely, people who already have an RA diagnosis must be screened for heart disease, other vascular conditions, blood clots, and sleep apnea, according to Kronzer.

Europe is a continent located definitely in the Northern Hemisphere and mostly in the Eastern Hemisphere. It is bordered by the Arctic Ocean to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the west, Asia to the east, and the Mediterranean Sea to the south. It comprises the westernmost ration of Eurasia.
Europe is most commonly considered to be divided from Asia by the watershed divides of the Ural and Caucasus Mountains, the Ural River, the Caspian and Black Seas and the waterways of the Turkish Straits. Although the term “continent” implies beast geography, the house link up is somewhat arbitrary and has been redefined several epoch since its first conception in classical antiquity. The estrangement of Eurasia into two continents reflects East-West cultural, linguistic and ethnic differences which rework upon a spectrum rather than like a sharp dividing line. The geographic affix amid Europe and Asia does not follow any welcome boundaries: Turkey, Russia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Kazakhstan are transcontinental countries. France, Portugal, Netherlands, Spain and joined Kingdom are also transcontinental in that the main allocation is in Europe even if pockets of their territory are located in extra continents.
Europe covers about 10,180,000 square kilometres (3,930,000 sq mi), or 2% of the Earth’s surface (6.8% of land area). Politically, Europe is on bad terms into virtually fifty sovereign states of which the Russian Federation is the largest and most populous, spanning 39% of the continent and comprising 15% of its population. Europe had a total population of approximately 741 million (about 11% of the world population) as of 2016. The European climate is largely affected by hot Atlantic currents that temper winters and summers upon much of the continent, even at latitudes along which the climate in Asia and North America is severe. other from the sea, seasonal differences are more noticeable than near to the coast.
Europe, in particular ancient Greece and ancient Rome, was the birthplace of Western civilization. The drop of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD and the subsequent Migration period marked the end of ancient records and the beginning of the center Ages. Renaissance humanism, exploration, art and science led to the enlightened era. previously the Age of Discovery started by Portugal and Spain, Europe played a predominant role in global affairs. amongst the 16th and 20th centuries, European powers controlled at various epoch the Americas, more or less every of Africa and Oceania and the majority of Asia.
The Age of Enlightenment, the subsequent French mayhem and the Napoleonic Wars shaped the continent culturally, politically and economically from the stop of the 17th century until the first half of the 19th century. The Industrial Revolution, which began in great Britain at the stop of the 18th century, gave rise to avant-garde economic, cultural and social bend in Western Europe and eventually the wider world. Both world wars took area for the most portion in Europe, contributing to a end in Western European dominance in world affairs by the mid-20th century as the Soviet devotion and the allied States took prominence. During the frosty War, Europe was on bad terms along the Iron Curtain together with NATO in the West and the Warsaw settlement in the East, until the revolutions of 1989 and fall of the Berlin Wall.
In 1949 the Council of Europe was founded, following a speech by Sir Winston Churchill, like the idea of unifying Europe to reach common goals. It includes every European states except for Belarus, Kazakhstan and Vatican City. new European integration by some states led to the formation of the European sticking together (EU), a separate embassy entity that lies along with a confederation and a federation.

Going through all the prospects, looking at the features, talking with salespeople. Shopping for a new appliance can often leave you completely exhausted and confused. To help you skip this grueling process, our oven repair experts have made a list of the 6 best ovens for home kitchens.
6 Best Ovens for Home Kitchens By Brand
#1: Wolf Convection Steam Ovens
We couldn’t help but put the Wolf Convection Steam Oven at the top of our best ovens for home use list. Promising to cook a pot roast to perfection with almost no added fat, Wolf convection steam ovens utilize both hot air and steam to get that golden-brown crust but still keep moisture and juiciness.
Wolf ovens are considered high-end appliances, and they carry a high-end price tag starting at $4,195. But once you experience the professional quality baking and roasting of a Wolf oven, you’ll realize that it is worth the money.
#2: KitchenAid 30″ Single Wall Oven w/ Even-Heat True Convection
A somewhat less expensive idea of the modern oven comes from KitchenAid in the form of a 30″ Single Wall Oven with Even-Heat True Convection. Thanks to a bow-tie design, convection fan, and temperature probe, food is cooked evenly without burnt edges and soggy centers.
It does have fewer features compared to the Wolf Convection Steam Oven, but if you are looking mostly to roast, bake, and broil, then this single wall oven might be the right one. Prices start at $2,499.
#3: Dacor Renaissance 30″ Single Wall Ovens
Thanks to six cooking modes, a steam self-cleaning feature, and a hidden bake and rapid heat broil element, the Dacor Renaissance 30” Single Wall oven has rightfully taken a spot on our best ovens for home kitchens list.
Even temperature and zero flavor transfer are reached thanks to the four-part pure convection technology. This oven will give you professional grade performance starting around $5,000.
#4: Maytag 30-inch Wide Single Built-in Oven w/ Precision Cooking System
When it comes to price and performance, our favorite on this list has to be Maytag 30-inch Wide Single Built-in Oven with Precision Cooking system. Thanks to the Precision Cooking™ system, food prepared is both crispy and juicy whereas the self-cleaning feature is easily operated and practical.
With a 10-year warranty on the elements, you can calmly prepare your food for years to come.
#5: Thermador Professional Series Double Oven
For those who do quite a bit of entertaining and cooking, Thermador Professional Series Double Oven might be a solution, as it provides more than enough space and features. This range is fully packed with 12 cooking modes, a heavy-duty rotisserie, 12-pass broil element, and 2-hour self-cleaning cycle.
Packed in an overall nice design and closed with a SoftClose® door, food prepared will be more than tasty. Just shy of $6,000 this oven is recommend for a serious home chef.
#6: Whirlpool Single Wall Oven with True Convection
Last but not the least on our best ovens for home use list is saved for Whirlpool Single Wall Oven with True Convection. At the price of just over $2,000, it offers baking, broiling, and roasting at a satisfactory level.
It is a good middle-of-the-road oven with a digital meat thermometer, automatically shutting off the cooking process when meat is cooked, a rear fan and third heating element.
When choosing an oven for your home, the most important thing to keep in mind is how you’ll use it. If you love to bake, entertain, and cook, then a high-end oven is a great investment. However, if you don’t use your oven very often, then opt for a more affordable option that still offers great performance (like a Whirlpool).
We hope our best ovens for home kitchen reviews helps you make the best decision for you kitchen.

President Hankerson's remarks before the House Judiciary Committee this morning in support of HB 1739 to eliminate the death penalty in favor of life sentences. TVW.org 2/18/2015
Statement from the Seattle King County NAACP: in reaction to how SPD handled the situation and their recent apology:
"The apology issued from SPD in regard to the unjust arrest of Mr. Wingate is too little, too late. It falls short of taking responsibility for what happened to Mr. Wingate, and points to no concrete action steps to ensure that something like this won't happen again.
While we have immense concerns about the lack of accountability for Officer Whitlatch’s behavior, this goes deeper than any one officer. At every step along the way, our justice system failed Mr. Wingate. That is what institutional racism looks like.
In addition, the silence from the Mayor's office and from Chief O'Toole concerning both the false statement in the Wingate matter and SPD's recent actions in the MLK Day pepper spraying incident is deafening.
To Mayor Murray: don't attend an NAACP Black Lives Matter march and rally one day saying that you stand against injustice in Ferguson, and then sit idly by when the truth is revealed that injustice sits squarely in Seattle.
Let your actions be so loud that people can't hear what you are saying.
The Seattle King County NAACP is calling on the Mayor's Office and Chief O'Toole to stop talking about making our communities safer from police abuse and actually do something about it."

In light of the incident, the Seattle King County NAACP chapter called for more action from city leaders regarding police abuse. “This goes deeper than any one officer,” a statement read. “At every step along the way, our justice system failed Mr. Wingate. That is what institutional racism looks like.”
How 'Grandfather In Our Community' Lost Faith In Seattle Police
Gerald Hankerson, head of the Seattle King County NAACP, said Wingate was a family man. “He’s what we refer to as a grandfather in our community,” Hankerson said. “He’s a member of First AME church, he’s been carrying this golf club for 20 years. The community knows Mr. Wingate as someone who carries this golf club.”
“It’s sad to lose the sight of someone that actually been supportive of law enforcement, now looking at it in a different way,” he said.

When something feels off, but isn't exactly life-threatening and not entirely weird, what is it? Creepy. Researchers at Knox College — in the first empirical study of creepiness — have now discovered the parameters for what makes someone likely to be perceived as creepy. The study surveyed 1,341 people, who were an average age of 29, Slate reported. The survey had participants rate how creepy 44 different behaviors and habits were.
As it turns out — and as everyone has probably encountered at some point in time — creepiness is felt when someone interacts with something that's "outside the norm, like a person with idiosyncratic behavioral patterns, unusual physical characteristics or a tendency to over- or underemote," according to Slate. The person doesn't know if they should interpret the interaction as a threat, and thus is creeped out. "Atypical expressions" could be one reason, according to a neurologist who wrote a column for Psychology Today, why many people describe Republican presidential candidate Texas Sen. Ted Cruz as creepy.
Behaviors considered creepy according to the survey were akin to the creepy uncle trope, like constantly licking their lips or bringing up the same topic (usually sex) over and over in conversation.
The creepiest features were having greasy hair, unclean clothes and a "peculiar smile," according to Slate.
The study also found that men were more likely to be considered creepy than women, and women more often associated "sexual threat with creepiness." Unwarrantedly being hit on or encroachment on their personal space are such examples, according to Slate. Seventy-five percent of the study's participants were women, thus the findings could possibly have been different if more men were involved.
The survey participants also chimed in with what they felt were the creepiest jobs, and — no surprise here — clowns were one of the top responses. Also included were taxidermists and funeral directors, according to Slate. The least creepy occupation was meteorologist.

The Profits of Nonprofit
Friday, January 7, 2011
In the beginning, they called her a fool. When pharmaceutical chemist Victoria Hale told friends and colleagues that she wanted to start a nonprofit pharma company, they laughed at her, said it was career suicide, that it couldn’t be done. “About 90 percent said that in strong or gentle words,” recalls Hale, who had previously worked at the US Food and Drug Administration and Genentech. “But I knew I wanted to try.”
And so she did. In 1998, Hale wrote a business plan, gathered seed money, and submitted an application for nonprofit status to the IRS. It was denied. Pharmaceuticals are a profitable industry, the IRS replied, so what’s the need for a nonprofit? Frustrated, Hale defended her philosophy for what felt like the hundredth time: Big Pharma makes drugs for Westerners. She, on the other hand, wanted to make drugs for all of humanity-drugs that don’t necessarily pull a profit.
In 2001, the argument finally worked, and the Institute for OneWorld Health became the first nonprofit pharmaceutical company in the United States. Since its inception, iOWH has received more than $200 million from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation as well as funds from other philanthropic donors. The socially conscious company has even tugged at the heartstrings of several for-profit pharmaceutical companies, who have agreed to make and distribute drugs developed by iOWH on a no profit, no loss basis. With that backing, the company has already brought to market a drug to treat visceral leishmaniasis-the world’s second-largest parasitic killer after malaria-and developed a pipeline of others designed for scourges of the developing world: malaria, diarrheal diseases, and parasitic worm infections.
iOWH is unusual, but it is not alone. With philanthropists funneling billions of dollars into biomedical research and traditional drug discovery efforts producing fewer and fewer therapies, the line between for-profit and nonprofit life science companies is beginning to blur as both sides of the divide look for new options. More and more for-profit enterprises are experimenting with nonprofit models, while nonprofit organizations look to incorporate for-profit business practices to stay afloat.

The Catalan club Barcelona aims to complete three more transfers by the end of the summer transfer window.
Barcelona will announce Deco as their new sporting director today, although he has been in the role for several months.
However, with the official start of his term looming, he has his priorities straight.
The former Portuguese international wants to make three signings before the end of the transfer window.
According to Sport newspaper, Joao Cancelo, Ivan Fresneda and an attacking midfielder are the club’s priorities from Camp Nou.
Deco spoke to Cancelo’s agent, Jorge Mendes, last Thursday to bring him to the club.
One of the options is Giovani Lo Celso, but he is not a priority, while Barcelona aims to sign Fresneda and loan him to an ideal team.
For the club, they would love to see Joao Felix arrive, but he is not a priority for Deco or the sporting department either.
One of the main topics of conversation, they will only consider signing him if either Ansu Fati or Ferran Torres leaves.

OVER the past six months we’ve been following the build of Nulon Australia’s XY Falcon GT replica giveaway car. It started off as a green Falcon 500 six-cylinder grandpa-spec streeter, and since then we’ve seen it undergo a transformation into a true street machine.
The car was stripped down and sand-blasted before all the nasty hidden-away rust was removed and the body repaired. The XY then received its beautiful Track Red paint. While that was happening, the team at BK Race Engines screwed together one of their tough 650hp 408ci Cleveland motors, to be backed by a four-speed manual ’box. To bring the handling up to scratch, the guys also fitted an RRS front end with rack-and-pinion steering and big meaty brakes.
Inside, the car scored a full GT-style trim to match the red with black-striped exterior. The finished product was a tough, well-done street car – plenty quick enough, capable of laying a fat skid, and a real head-turner. Whoever won the car was going to love it.
Well, now we can officially say that we have a winner! Out of the 55,000 people that entered the draw to win Nulon’s Project XY, Neil Horsley’s name was drawn as the lucky winner of the XY Falcon GT replica. Congratulations Neil, enjoy the car.

Bill Cosby countersues 7 women for defamation
Journal Staff Report | 12/14/2015, 5:43 p.m.
Bill Cosby is firing back.
In a countersuit filed in federal court on Dec. 14, Cosby alleges that seven women made "malicious, opportunistic, and false and defamatory accusations" against him. Cosby is seeking monetary damages "to the maximum extent permitted by law."
The women have claimed Cosby defamed them by allowing his representatives to brand them as liars after they went public with allegations of rape and other sexual misconduct dating back decades.
In his counterclaim, Cosby says the women have "engaged in a campaign to assassinate" his reputation and character. He says their campaign is "nothing more than an opportunistic attempt to extract financial gain from him."
The wom en suing Cosby in U.S. District Court in Springfield are among approximately 50 who have come forward with allegations of rape or unwanted sexual contact over the last year. Cosby has a home in Shelburne in western Massachusetts.
Joseph Cammarata, an attorney representing the women, told the Associated Press that Cosby's countersuit "stinks of retaliation."
"To suggest that these ladies — each and every one of them — got together and orchestrated a campaign against Mr. Cosby is hard to fathom," Cammarata said to AP.
Cosby's countersuit cites his work as an entertainer and philanthropist, saying Cosby "prides himself in the legacy and reputation he has earned throughout his life."
His lawyers say that his reputation and career have been damaged by the women, noting that they filed their defamation lawsuit against the comedian at a time when he was set to return to television in a new NBC series.
Once news of his return to television became well publicized in 2014, each of the women "repeatedly and maliciously published their unsubstantiated stories through multiple interviews and posts on social media platforms," Cosby's lawyers wrote. NBC dropped plans for the show after multiple women came forward with rape allegations.
In his countersuit, Cosby denies the rape and other sexual misconduct claims made by the women and says the allegations were motivated by money.
Cosby's lawyer, Monique Pressley, said the women's "multidecade-old, false, uncorroborated, opportunistic allegations of sexual assault have caused and continue to cause him to suffer substantial injuries and damages" to his reputation and business contracts.


HUNTSVILLE, Alabama --
is breaking ground at
this morning on a new missile plant that is expected to bring about 300 jobs to Huntsville and is a key to future missile defense plans for the United States and Europe.
The $70 million, 70,000-square-foot Raytheon Redstone Missile Integration Facility will be where the propulsion and other components of the company's Standard Missile 3 and SM-6 missiles come together and are tested before going to Missile Defense Agency, Navy or other customers, said Dr. Taylor Lawrence, president of Raytheon's Missile Systems business.
"It's going to be a state-of-the-art facility, very automated," he said during a recent visit. "Probably the most advanced missile integration facility ever seen."
A number of elected officials and missile defense leaders are expected for the ceremony, at the site of a former Morton Thiokol plant in the southeast quadrant of the arsenal. Plans for the facility were announced last summer by Lawrence and then-Alabama Gov. Bob Riley at the Farnborough International Airshow in England.
Raytheon conducted an 18-month, nationwide search, looking at dozens of potential sites that might support a missile integration plant of this size, including some that were closing because of Base Realignment and Closure moves. They put all the information into comparison tables "and had a competition, really," Lawrence said.
On Redstone Arsenal, the plant will be near the offices of the Missile Defense Agency and other customers, and there is already an infrastructure used in integrating large-scale rocket and propulsion systems and the explosive materials they use, he said. The area has a talented workforce and state training programs that will allow employees to come on board ready to work; connections with the University of Alabama in Huntsville and other area institutions for other workforce development and training; and more.
Lawrence said Riley and Alabama's congressional delegation were very supportive - he singled out U.S. Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Tuscaloosa, in particular - and the state put together a strong package. Huntsville-Madison County Chamber of Commerce officials said last July that Raytheon is to get a $2 million cash incentive, in a $1 million and two $500,000 increments, when the company meets job creation goals.
"(Huntsville) was the best business decision for us because of all the incentives and the integrated approach that the state brought to supporting this facility," Lawrence said. "As an Alabama native ... I'm proud that the state of Alabama came to the table and did a nice job and gave us a good offering."
About 300 employees, including quality engineers, systems integration and test engineers, facilities engineers, explosives experts and more, will be needed initially to support the facility, with potential for growth over time, Lawrence said. Raytheon is planning a job fair for later this summer.
"We see it being part of our integration facilities for many, many, many years in the future, and to support next generations" of missiles, he said. "As we win new business, there's going to be a lot of opportunity to bring things to this facility."
The SM-3 missile is used by the Navy's Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense ships. They are a part of the Missile Defense Agency's overall "layered" Ballistic Missile Defense program, which uses a complex system of sensors and radars to detect an enemy's ballistic missile launch, track the incoming threat, and then fire interceptor missiles to hit and destroy it before it can do harm.
The SM-3 is also a major part of the U.S. and NATO-supported Phased Adaptive Approach to missile defense in Europe over the next decade. Phase 1 includes deploying the current ship-based SM-3 Block 1A missile, which is built in Arkansas. That phase is under way, with the USS Monterey on a six-month deployment with a complement of the missiles.
Phase 2, set for about 2015, involves deployment of an advanced version of the SM-3, the Block 1B, which significantly increases its capability. Raytheon officials said it can better discriminate the "real" enemy missile from decoys, from farther away, hitting and destroying it with a kinetic-energy warhead.
A land-based version of the missile is under development to be deployed in Europe. And Raytheon officials have said the Huntsville plant will be critical to meeting production demands for the SM-3 Block 1B.
The SM-6 is an extended-range anti-air-warfare missile for the Navy. Earlier this year, Raytheon delivered the first SM-6s ahead of schedule and on cost, Lawrence said. About 130 SM-3 Block 1As were also delivered on cost and on schedule.
"Standard Missile has been very successful in that regard," he said. "And we're going to continue that in Alabama with the integration facility here."
The plant will be built in two phases. The first, for SM-6 production, is to be completed in the first quarter of 2012 with the first missiles coming out next summer. The second phase is to be complete by the end of 2012.
"It's going to be a very exciting schedule. We're going to be building around the clock to get this thing up and running," Lawrence said.

You must remember, you can never beat the experience of a company that has been in the game for a very long time and understand the market. You must also remember that you can never beat the experience of an agency that has been in the game for a very long time and understand the market and demographic.
Find below what we consider to be; Best Logo Design Software
Top three tools you can use for your branding
This nifty website allows you to edit websites on the go through the online design tool on their website, that very much reminds this design agency of photoshop, except it’s free and compact and even better.
This design tool works on practically every device, if you’re searching for a tool that can do most of the features you are looking for such as:
General photo shopping
If so, Then this tool will be perfect for you and your business. This online website is great as a tool for newer businesses that cannot afford the marketing budget, especially for those doing social media posts by themselves and want to edit a photo quickly with simplicity and at the same time for free.
Now, this is really incredible, what if I told you that this is a photoshop alternative for all the designers and agencies. Alongside that, the best part is that it’s FREE! and has almost, in fact, all of the tools that Adobe Photoshop has, sounds too good to be true? incredible right?
Now, the main difference between these two and the one listed above which is Photopea, is that you have to download this software on a computer like a Windows, Linux or Mac computer. This tool has so much support from the community and so many businesses are opting to use this tool instead of photoshop and it’s no surprise why. It’s perfect in so many ways for your agency or business. It’s great for your branding and logo design needs, including social media, posts, flyers, brochures, business cards and any other items you wish to create. Out of a lot of the tools we’ve used, we give this product a thumbs up and even a five-star rating because of how powerful yet free this program is.
Yeah, yeah. you should have been expecting this as one of the free tools for branding and design for your business or agency. we all know this program and we have all come to love it for its “branding” and time killing usefulness. It’s pretty obvious this is the ‘ BEST LOGO DESIGN SOFTWARE ‘ wink wink! – We understand that some may not see it as a powerful tool and in some ways, it’s not, but we feel the need to have to add this to our collection because we feel that it’s too comical and two iconic to not include on this list today, for business and agencies alike. We all remember seeing our older siblings drawing on Paint and sometimes we would do the same if our Internet went out (We hope it doesn’t!)
But this tool can still be used when you want to do the occasional quick crop or tiny edit and you do not have anything else available but of course, this could be where PhotoPea comes in. Because you do not need to download anything and it can be accessed online on the spot, especially if you’re at a meeting as a business or agency. You can do all your branding and designing for your business all online which makes this tool very handy however we recommend if you wish to do anything a little more in-depth, then, you should download GIMP for the more powerful tools, however, we will leave this up to your discretion. Everything listed above however, could fall under the Best Logo Design Software banner.
Downloading the software, GIMP, allows you to customise a lot of the features such as downloading custom plug-ins or content created by others. This program was created for the intention of allowing others to contribute. This program, which is why as web designers and brand designing agency members, believe in being able to share with others. (including your beautiful designs and art)
If you need to look into a strategy for dominating your industry, look no further than 313 design as your creative branding and design agency that can assist you far more than a free tool ever can. A free tool doesn’t offer you consultations or the ability to meet face-to-face so that you can discuss your next plan of attack and strategy. We understand your company moves forward and so does your branding. We want to help you with that goal and succeed so that we may succeed.
Remember to contact us on social media should you require any further help or perhaps, if you wish to share your amazing web design, branding or marketing stories. We as a design agency are always searching for wholesome happy stories so please do share them with us, it makes our day!

BNSF Railway is spending $375 million in Texas and $110 million in Oklahoma as part of its $3.3 billion 2018 capital expenditure program that focuses on maintenance projects.
In Texas, the railroad will conduct track surfacing and/or undercutting on about 1,400 miles of track and replace nearly 40 miles of rail and 450,000 ties. Also, the railroad will quadruple the main line track of four miles through Amarillo, complete the installation of a centralized traffic control system on its Wichita Falls Subdivision and begin a new connection and siding on its Houston-area Conroe subdivision. Plans also call for the completion of the Alliance Intermodal facility, and the start of work on a new bridge over the Trinity River near Fort Worth.
In Oklahoma, BNSF will conduct about 620 miles of track resurfacing and/or undercutting and replace about 30 miles of rail and more than 230,000 ties. Additionally, a new siding will be built on the Avard subdivision between Avard and Tulsa.
The Class 1 railroad, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Co., plans this year to replace and upgrade more than 500 miles of rail, 3 million rail ties and ballasts while maintaining its rolling stock of locomotives. There also will be about 13,000 miles of track surfacing and undercutting work.

If you look at enough descriptions of Willow Lake, you’ll find the word “escape” popping up again and again. It seems that Willow Lake is the perfect place to escape to, no matter what it is that you’d like to get away from. It is tranquil, picturesque, off the beaten path, and for the ardent lover of the outdoors, a whole lot of fun. Nestled at the foot of Mt. McLoughlin, the outside world seems like another planet from Willow Lake.
There is hiking, swimming, boating, camping and excellent fishing. For those with more sedate tastes, there are cabins to accommodate an overnight stay, and plenty of opportunities to relax and take it easy. There are glamping yurts, tent sites, and RV hookups, as well as picnic tables, barbecue pits and hot showers. There really is something for everyone here. Well, almost everyone. (Sorry, no bowling alleys or petting zoos.) On the other hand, Willow Lake County Park is ideal for vacations, family reunions, romantic honeymoons, business retreats, and going fishing with your buddies.
Cabins and yurts and group campsites require advance reservations, which can be made by phone or online. One of the yurts is ADA accessible, as are parking and the restroom by the boat ramp. Cabins are available year-round, while yurts and campsites are seasonal. There is a $4 day use fee per vehicle.

A New York State Gaming Board is recommending that Mohawk Harbor, a blighted riverfront site in Schenectady, be the location of one of three new upstate casinos. One casino consultant says that could impact MGM Springfield’s plans to attract New York customers.
In the week that Massachusetts removed the last challenge to its new gaming industry, voting down a potential repeal, one of Connecticut’s casinos showed off exactly how it’s preparing for competition from the north.
Following the rejection of a state ballot question to repeal the casino law, stakeholders — including MGM Springfield, the city’s economic development department, and Springfield residents — are looking ahead to the next phase.
The Massachusetts Gaming Commission on Thursday is slated to formally award licenses to MGM for a Springfield casino and Wynn Resorts for one in Everett.
There was much interest in Springfield as the city has maintained a long-standing agreement with MGM to build a resort-casino downtown. Now the project is that much closer to reality.
Voters throughout the region have been heading to the polls all day, with a few hours to go before results start to come in.
Massachusetts casinos could draw gamblers away from tribal casinos in southeastern Connecticut.
Ahead of Tuesday’s vote on a ballot question that aims to repeal casinos, a look at how some in the South End view possible changes to the old neighborhood.
In a roundtable discussion, each of the candidates said they’ll vote no on a question to repeal the state’s casino law in November.
The three candidates vying for the seat now held by retiring Massachusetts state Representative Sean Curran of Springfield saw eye-to-eye on most of the issues discussed at a candidate roundtable. But as New England Public Radio’s Tom Relihan reports, they diverged on gun control.
The gambling board dismissed a request by the City of Boston to delay the process of awarding a casino license until after the November election.
Springfield area business leaders are wondering if they’ll ever see the economic impact from a proposed casino project. That’s after the state’s highest court placed a question repealing Massachusetts’ casino law on the November ballot.
Two initiatives sponsored by union nurses and a referendum to repeal Massachusetts’ casino could be headed for the ballot.
Only three of the five Massachusetts democratic candidates for governor will be advancing to the September primary.
Some residents are hopeful about economic recovery; others warn against potential problems.

This week we worked on a ton of things but here are the most important!
In math we started learning about fractions. We learned about the improper fractions, the mixed number fractions, and that you can find if a fractions is in simplest form. You know if a fraction is in simples form if there are no common factor in numerator/denominator.
We're also learning about weather. Ginger Zee came and told us about how thunder storms and tornados are formed. But in school we learned about rain, clouds, air pressure, precipitation, anemometer, wind vane, barometer, humidity, hygrometer, and rain gauge!
We also learned about colonies. We watched a video on the region are colony is in. And we made a script on our colony. We wrote about the jobs, colonial life, geography, religion, slavery, government, and a couple other stuff that I don't remember! and we are going to make the script into a voice thread!
My week was awesome!:)
